    I just won a tenner on a free bingo site, and while I was there I watched the chat. One player said she had spend £575 today with no wins. The other person replied that he once did £900 in one day :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Unbelieveable :confused:


    Holy Carp :eek:

    How could you actually stay on one of those sites for £900 worth of games i think I would shoot myself in the head as its so boring.

    Have a tale of woe about gambling but a bit touchy if the wrong person is viewing these threads so I will keep my mouth shut.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    That's the same as 3-4 months of food shopping in the Spud household :confused:

    The one that had done £575 actually said she cant afford to lose it :rolleyes:

    Yes some people dont know just how much damage gambling can cause. It really can destroy lives.

    I know it can. Strange thing is, I think some peeps dont think of bingo as gambling :confused:

    Well...someone close to us, their now ex OH is a compulsive gambler and would gamble on anything, when they married he had 50K in gambling debts (of course we and she didnt know that at the time, just said that it was normal debt) so one year into the marriage they had remortgaged her house which was nearly paid for and ended up struggling to live.

    Here is the funny thing....even after all that they used to go to the bingo together.

    They are now getting divorced and he has left her with all the debt in the form of mortgage and dropped on the sick so he doesnt have to pay anything. Complete Barstwert.

    God I cant keep my mouth shut for long can I?
