I lost over 200k in the last 5-6 years. I’m 30 years old right now and even a few days ago lost 9k in one hour. I’ve thought of committing suicide many times but I realized it’s just money and you can make it back by working hard. Gamblers anonymous is the first step.

just another loser telling people how to live their life

started at 12 and have lost over 20 grand wagered 500k and wasted well over 2k hours not including my thoughts being consumed by gambling, even winning 20 grand right away means nothing, it's not a life, what are you going to buy with even 10k with money you didn't earn? You will blow it or lose it, even gamblers who brake even lose their mental or time, there is no such thing as winning, you will just lose if you ever continue if not now then in years along with your time

John 11.25-26 Jesus said unto her I AM the resurrection and the life he that believes in me though he were dead yet shall he live and whosoever lives and belives in me shall never die believest thou this Amen

Two weeks & dayum I’m eating a lot more than I did when I was drinking but all in all I feel better than I would hungover. Keep up the fight yall!

Gambling will destroy you and your family, please stop this instant please.

Alhamdulillah im Muslim and in Islam its a big sin to gamble

sorry to hear about things not going your way phil, same going on in my life to, I am about to lose my entire life, maybe means something better on the way but stay strong, take as much time off videos as you need, life will work out for all of us!

For 99% of my life ive been very wise and tight with money That 1% was a night i will never forget i had £18000 saved in my bank and got drawn into cyrpto must have been midnight and its looked too good to be true to chap online set up online portfolio and i went in with 10k with 3k profit made overnight i was over the moon i thought i was on the road to finacial freedom.1 day later my whole bank account is wiped to zero😢

Me: watching video on gambling addiction. Also me: watching random adds pop up during gambling addiction video encouraging me to sign up deposit and start spinning online slots. 😅😅😅

Thank you. This helped. Goddamn trading

3:37. Good look getting that "15 fold Akka that pays half a million quid" out of the bookies. One of the reasons gambling is dumb is that if you ever do win big, the bookies will fight tooth and nail not to pay out anyway.

I love you buddy <3

I love your videos, but why an earth is the adverts gambling ones???and the channel is sponsered by lotsa slots??

Do FOBT machines work on the same way as the 70% rule ????

Quitters never win, winners never quit.

Skill issue

How did you stop gambling?

Nothing sadder than having a good win, for example a very close result on a sporting event, having that luck, and then within an hour losing it all again 👎

You talk a lot of sense, I’m glad I watched your video.

Pleased to see you fella, better days are always ahead. Keep smiling 👊👍

Not even surprised this happens, these machines are designed to mentally torture you till your addicted and finally crack when you lose it all. The betting companies deserve this kind of damage tenfold. Just have a regular game of poker or something if you want to gamble. Always played poker (sometimes with cash in the middle) with friends and never felt addicted or lost thousands playing. ♥️♦️♠️♣️#TAKETIMETOTHINK. #GAMBLEAWARE

when in doubt, put it all on red

Online gambling has made things much worse though at least you can't use credit cards for it now. The gambling commission have heavily fined some bookmakers for letting punters lose thousands or even 10's of thousands of pounds chasing losses in a short period of time. I've bet on horses for nearly half a century and learned the hard way. The pleasure and pain gamblers get is in the gambling itself, taking the risk. The money isn't important until you've lost it all. Which is inevitable sooner or later.

A wise man once said that “gambling money” is worth a penny a bucketload, it’s either lost or any winnings become more “gambling tokens” until it’s all gone….

I'm still thinking about what's I have lost still chasing my loss yet they are gaming me

I first started when I was 17 I used to sneak in to betting offices when it was busy and play just for fun though because I did enjoy it and started off playing small stake with little money and making a couple of quid profit and walking out started getting worse when I turnt 18 and was actually allowed to gamble instead of going in with 10 pounds to play and leaving I would end up going in with a larger amount then year by year I got a lot worse it started of as harmless fun then became a addiction wish I never started but unfortunately it happened I wish everyone a well recovery and a best life

if find it phil when i gamble sometimes i do it to escape life when i feeling very down i in contact with gamcare they are going to arrange councilling i have banned myself from all online gambling and cannot go into bookies for 2 years but it still the thing most pubs have a machines and i found myself going into random pubs i dont know anyone in getting 2 pints of lager then putting in 100 pound in the machine and ignoring everyone around me just focussing on the machine but it has caused a lot of problems in my life and i just want to completly stop so doing all i can to stop your videos help me a lot phil thank you very much for all your support and help

VEGASMATT and MR Handpay are my mentors

Do you still gamble 🎰?

It really is a struggle gambling is a hard thing to stop I won Monday and lost Tuesday it never ends a vicious cycle of doom

The people running betting shops and casinos have no conscience and some are downright evil. Don’t give your money to them

You speak extremely well and are very wise. I've never looked at it from this perspective. I used to go in with 30quid and love winning 3 quid on a hand of blackjack. Now i lose 250 quid each time i go in. And like you said, wouldnt even know what to do with the money should I win....

I was a gambling addict, getting €200/400 per day, I lost alot, but only monetary loss thankfully. I didn't get counselling or anything though, I just quit and fought the urges. Biggest help for me, was keeping occupied. Replace the harmful addiction with a harmless addiction. I quit gambling and just got addicted to videos games. Let's be real here, the real issue is that we all have the same addictive personality trait.

I've been there many times. Winning 5 figures and at the end of the week got barely money to buy bread. Just stay away from gambling completely. It's the only way. I am 5 months clean now. How you are doing well.

Great video phil with great advice thank you mate your videos are so relate able

Phil I think you’re amazing I won huge Friday and I mean huge! Lost it all by Sunday chasing a small loss that day. All on slots. I’m supposed to be free but had a relapse and straight away thought all was saved. I could pay for that holiday. Go out for a nice dinner. Put some money off my depts but I didn’t even make it till Monday to put the money in the bank. Now having a beer watching your KZbin, thinking back to square 1 but with a little more self respect lost. But it always comes back with time and staying away from the slots. You just can’t leave once you’re your on a loss thinking if I put more in it has to pay back! So it’s day 1 again for me and Phil you’re amazing still posting. I’ve been watching you years now and I am getting better but every few months I tend to think I can do it. Hope this is my last time. Live and learn

Hi Phil, just wanted to say it's great to see you posting on here again. Your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you.

very good points here, food for thought !

Winning big generally just results in bigger stakes and bigger losses. Makes you feel invincible.

4 years ago i won £96k on a online slot machine session, was betting everyday for 10+ years. not had a bet since that day not even lottery. was the best thing for me to stop.

Your bang on Phil, and thank you for the update on this video. At 46, I honestly think I've conquered my own gambling addiction, like many, over the last 30 years. I've done it all, canceled Cards, GA, Banning Myself, pretened to be a Pro gambler! Lol. Thought I'd beaten it before but went back time and time again. In truth, the difference this time is understanding I am an idiot. I can defend it and say, it's an illness and it's not that easy etc... But in my case, understanding the repetitive actions of losing money and a few days later walking back in the betting shop with another £200 and losing it within 20 mins, understanding that this was hurting and harming me badly, took me 30 years to fully understand that if I don't stop, I won't see a point in keeping going, I was never suicidal, but I had times when I cried with so much hate and anger of myself, that I would say silly things and that's not fair on my loved ones. The key is to be angry at the dopamine 5 mins before walking into the betting shop and tell it to f' off! The enemy was never the staff at the bookies, which I thought was for a long long time. The enemy lived in me, it was and still is the dopamine living in my mind. I still tell it to f' off before I'm tempted. I'm glad to say the temptation has died a lot, but I know from experience I CANNOT ever be complacent. I wish everyone the best in beating your own addiction or controlling it. Have a good week all

as always so relatable,

It’s not about winning, it’s about NOT losing.

Can confirm, I was a degen for years (I'm in my late 20s) and was down probably 150k USD. I got extremely lucky earlier in the year and won about $700k USD (you can see the major score on my channel). Admittedly, I've given back about 200k of it in the months after that but luckily have caught myself after realising how disgusting it is that I gave away that much money back. Thankfully no taxes here on gambling but either way. Phil's point stands true here.

I am a gambler. It has taken a lot away from me. I never spend money on myself or others. It is sad. I will beat this disgusting addiction.

A lot of people ban themselves from on-line gambling but still go to land based casino’s. Terrible thing gambling and it is especially harmful when someone is having problems in life.
