Hey guys, I got me a real problem an I'm wondering if any one can help.

I just blown my entire bank roll on roulete trying to play double up on bets to cover what I lost but it didn't work an I just got in deeper an deeper an couldn't stop myself till it were all gone. Now I'm flat broke an I don't know what to do. I maxed out my credit cards an don't have a job neither. Any advice? Anyone been there an come through? Heeeeelp!

Well, firstly, you probably don't want to hear this, but that was pretty stupid. You got sucked into the gambler's fallacy and now you know it doesn't work. Guess you learned the hard way.

If you lost your entire bankroll and you have no way to get it back, you have a serious problem in that you did more than just bust your bankroll. You overspent, which is something a gambler should never do. Sorry I can't give you your bankroll back and nobody is gonna come to your rescue and give you money to gamble with, at least no one with any sense.

Here's some advice. Whether you take it or not is your choice.

Do not ask friends or family to lend you money to gamble with and do not use any money you do get to try and win back your bankroll, unless its money that you do not need for any other purpose, such as eating, paying for the roof over your head, clothing, power, you know the usual things you need to live.

Get a damn job. You won't get any money sitting there feeling sorry for yourself, so get off your butt and work for it. When you get yourself stable, by which I mean you get your credit cards under control, then maybe you can start thinking about playing again.

Do not make the same mistakes twice!

Jim's right there Deek, you need to take a few steps back and get yourself together before even considering gambling again until you're financially stable again.

I have to agree that was a really stupid thing to do. That's the kind of mess problem gamblers get themselves into, so maybe you need to call Gamblers Anonymous?
