I'll tell you something mate if you think you know so ******* much about me. On the way back from taking the money from my grandparents I was going over the bridge and thought to myself how much easier it would be to throw myself under a bus. How it would be better for everybody that way. But I'm not going to do that. I will get the money back tomorrow and I can sort all this out OK?! So keep your advice, I don't need it from the likes of you.



And what if one of the teams loses? Or draws? What are you going to do then? You'll owe your parents £700, your grandparents £150.....and still have your overdraft to pay off. This could be the biggest mistake of your life mate, don't do this.
your turning into scum....

£500, 4 team accumulator, USA, South Africa, Slovakia and Romania. More than enough to pay back what I stole . This is it, once I win the money I'm going to walk right up to them, put the cash in their hands and tell them what I did. I know how disappointed they will be, how disappointed I am in myself. But I won't be scum any more.

youll loose it all you complete ******* moron!!
Don't put the last bet on, its not safe and chances are you'll be left with nothing, if you admit its scum why do it again?
Smashthemirror I would seriously advise listening to the advice your getting on here and stop immediately. Your panacea bet tomorrow as you perceive it is not the answer to your problems and I know from past experience.

About 2 years ago whilst unhappy with uni and relationships my solace was the online bookies. Usually playing stupid virtual horse games, how ridiculous eh?. Needless to say the bookies took all my money. I lost around £ 4000 on line over those 2 years.

I then had my internet connection stopped. I did gamble but only at weekends mainly and not online virtual games. Although the previous losses ate away at me for being so stupid things were on track and more or less in control. Last year I was £ 2000 up at the end of July for the year and then disaster struck.

Due to being at home a lot because of my uni timetable I had to get the internet restored. Within a couple of weeks after a bad day I registered with a bookie. I was now after countless sleepless nights in a state of despair. I had lost £3000 that year and was stopping now. Yes, my debt problem will continue but I will have to try and figure a way to service my debts. Its not just the amount you put on a credit card its the fees and then the interest you pay forever on those debts. Six months later I had a relapse, and an expensive one at that £2000 in a fevered attempt at chasing my losses.

My advice is DO NOT ever go onto a bookie run casino or virtual gaming site. They will take you for every penny you own and every penny you do not own ( credit cards ).

You need to ensure that you never go back to these sites as you need to get your life back!

OK. I see how disgusted you all are at what I did. This confirms it. I'm scum. But I won't lay down, not this time. I am so sick of not being able to look my parents in the eye. I am going to put an end to this once and for all. Today I got £150 from my grandparents. I told them it was for rent and I'd pay them back but really I was going to use it to put towards paying off the overdraft.

People aren't disgusted at you for "gambling", they're disgusted at you for trolling them with this godawful story. At least give us something original or funny to work with.

Realise that the rush will never make the risk and lose worth it.
If the guy is legit and he did stick £500 on that four team accumulator of USA (won) South Africa (won) Slovakia (won) and Romania (still to play) then he's one result away from winning £10,000. :eek3: :eek3:

I bet he'll be watching the Romania game from behind the couch.

It all started few nights ago when my mate and I stupidly decided to have a drunken bet on the Japan / England game. We were in no fit state to gamble and my mate ended up accidentally putting the money on Japan to win. To make matters worse, the idiot did it with his mum's credit card. :frown:

Now I managed to get out of it by leaving my mate in the lurch. He had a big bust up with his dad recently as well which ended up with my mate lamping his dad one and getting chucked out house. I know I should feel bad about it but to be honest I don't care, it was like a demon awoke in me.

It was when Japan went up 1 - nil. Suddenly something went off inside me and I felt better than I ever had in my life. What a rush. And ever since then I've been trying to regain the feeling. But it wouldn't come back. I had lost my smile.

My loan is long gone so I went and took out my overdraft. I am too scared to go into the likes of William Hill so I went down he local arcade instead. I went in with a considerable chuck of cash and before I knew what happened it had gone in flutter of flashing lights and screaming alarms. It was only when elderly caretaker came over at closing time, tapped me on the shoulder and said "Come on son, time to go" that I came back to my senses.

At this point I knew should have stopped...

But I needed to pay off the overdraft and like a miracle it was then my cousin told me about the Serbia / Poland derby. Kevin said Serbia were sure thing I knew I could get back all my loses and maybe even a little profit but the only thing stopping me was money. I needed it, anybody's. And I knew where to get it.

I had to get something from up in the roof space of my parent's house a fortnight ago and while I was up there I stumbled upon their Aladdin's cave! In the bottom of a box at the bottom of a pile were 3 envelopes of cash totalling £550. I let myself in and on my return to the attic I took £140 of. The rest of the money I left for the 12 or so visits I made over the course of the following 6 hours. I was fooling nobody and I knew I was going to bet the lot.

Serbia drew nil - nil...

I really don't know what to do now. My head is in a real dark, secluded place right now. I don't even care about my parent's money so much, they can afford it, but I know I need help. I need to find my smile again.


I'm not a believer in the slightest, but I guess that this is why betting and gambling is a sin. And the only sin worth adhering to. Because gambling and betting is not the way out.

Here's three words to get you out of this situation:

Get

a

job

Seriously. Apply for every single job you see, every single one. Even the ones you think you don't stand a chance of getting (as there may be the smallest chance that you do get it), and don't stop until you get one. Don't "rest" from job hunting, don't even just "take it easy a little for a few months". Start doing it now!

EDIT: I also think it's worth owning up to your family. they may be angry at first (and supportive later, as it's widely known that gambling and betting is very addictive and a massive drain on finances), but would you rather them be quite angry at finding out what you did when you admit it straight away? Or would you prefer them very angry when they find out that the money has been stolen and they eventually find out you stole it without you telling them? They'll find out and work it out eventually, so you might as well tell them now. The longer you keep it a secret, the angrier they will be when they do find out.
Hahahahahahah! OH MY GOD!!! I knew it I ******* knew it! Am I scum? Am I ****!!!!! 10 grand!!!!!
What was that Bill-e? How I was going to lose it all?! hahahaha you might have two A* passes mate
but I've got TEN ******* GRAND!!! ahahahahah
Not scum. Just the worlds biggest idiot.

Stay away from gambling, you're no good at it, mate.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm going to take that money, get another £200 from my parents and scrape together what I have left to get £500.

Why are you trolling? Please stop trying to elicit an aggravated response from readers, you are as transparent as crystal.

Some people are ACTUALLY gambling addicts - and it's very serious and can very likely end you up on the street, without a penny.

Even working on the very unreal premise that you are telling the truth then heed this:

My parents are millionaires and I ALSO don't have a gambling problem LOL

Arcades and william Hill will polish that quite insignificant 10K off in a matter of weeks, lol.

Mug!
