Sunday Night - Daryn Cresswell - Gambling Addiction

Terrific special from Sunday night about Daryn's problems with gambling.

[@aussieoma361]

Oh this brings back memory’s, everything his saying is so true. God bless you and I hope you get through it.

[@J-VT]

He did, I am a proud employee of his and he is a great person/boss 👌

People don't understand what addictions are like. You never stop and think about how crazy it is, you're just driven by the excitement and don't look back. It literally changes your brain chemistry the same way drugs do, so once it's latched on to you, it can't just be shaken off when you think "wait, this is dangerous, I better stop". The brain is so powerful it terrifies me, it really does. You may think you have control over many things in your life, not just addictions, but sometimes you don't.

[@coolbrett]

+mksrookies I've been told that before, but they also tell me that it's hard to reach that stage because your brain is so used to doing the opposite. It's like going from overweight to a marathon runner. It can be done, but it's soooooo difficult. But you're right, once you finally work hard and get used to it, it becomes a regular routine. Just like marathon runners. They can do them much more often because they've trained themselves to do it.

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

@mksrookies - Then why don't you teach it how to write a coherent reply where you don't come off sounding like an ignorant moron?

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

Don't forget - the government will allow any kind of business to exist as long as it meets two critieria: 1) It doesn't kill people 2) It makes them a lot of money Beyond that they just debate the issues ad infinitum while raking in billions.

[@LVLady83]

I have a feeling he's gambled a lot more than a million dollars.

[@1BorrisNorris]

Gambling addiction is misunderstood and so hard on the individual. Good luck to Cresswell and everyone in hell from addiction.

[@pattiburtonsalmonsen3202]

Alcohol and gambling are the worst to me my father died from alcohol 🍺 and he lost everything from it,.

[@MsClaudiaDuran]

I felt sorry for the guy, until he abandoned his family and remained with his mistress.

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

So disappointing

[@artbyally2022]

Sickening how these people can just pick uo their life and still have good things happen to them. His poor wife! I absolutely empathise with her.

[@RainsWorldVegasSlots]

I feel so sad he couldn't work it out with his wife. The kids suffer the most in this sad but true story. It makes me look at my gambling habits I never want it to get outa control

[@rubiconnz1754]

Likewise enjoy gambling but must take care = Responsible Gambling

[@owen7185]

When will the biology of addiction be taught in school so that young people are aware of just what will happen and why people get hooked on drugs, gambling etc

[@tulipchic34]

My ex is addicted to punting on horses. Just took money from our joint account was transferred to TAB. Didn’t even try and hide it. Didn’t matter to him how it made me feel.

[@stevenlittle5399]

Sorry to hear that he would hv been trying to win his own money back and give u the funds back. Hope ur doing well now

[@amazefloors8739]

Let's comment on this idiot, not his wife. You don't know what it feels like to have your life crash down around you when you have not a thing to do with it. Poor woman, however i'm sure she feels much better, even if she doesn't have much, she has piece of mind. Good on her.

[@oflex1735]

it only takes one big win to lose it all.

[@kevinwilson3337]

That’s what happens in most cases. After that big win you become hooked

[@dadon6055]

Gambling is not about winning it's about the risk you take to lose or win and the feeling you get when you max bet and hold your fucking breath hoping for the best..big rush when it pays off.. bigger rush just doing it..regardless of results

[@Tiggerpepper]

I never want to gamble again I have lost in casinos approximately $100,000 of my money I just want to keep my money for everything else

[@kuehsalak557]

i lost everytng, at 54 i do nt have a single cent, i want to quit but noone is willing to help me to pay the remaining debts, so i stil go back to the casino wit the little money i have hoping to win back sm money to pay the debts. everyday is a torture mentally.

[@dadon6055]

@@kuehsalak557 I have 800k USD in BTC and there are all these BTC gambling sites with no limit deposits :) It's so fkn bad but I don't play much, but being an addictive person it is hard... they have dice that has 50% odds and I kill it on that :P casinos are the fkn worst, remeber many days walking in with a few Thousand and walking out with almost nothing to the point i couldn't even afford mcdonalds... I used to get paid at lunchtime when i was working in the butchershop and have an hour for lunch at the club and walk out with NOTHING LOL my weeks wage gone before payday day was over...70 hour week for nothing.. fuck gambling

[@rubiconnz1754]

Good work hope You are living up to this vow.

[@benfromholtz8135]

He would have been getting a heavy wage as an assistant coach aswell

[@pattiburtonsalmonsen3202]

Wow my childhood was worse than his, I’m just not on here getting interviews just sad 😢 so many stories get told if you famous at something.

[@MG-et7lx]

He is sick,be more understanding

[@Fetchem1222]

Great comment. We all have something that’s not good. This guy got consumed and he found a way through. Proud of him.

[@nancyroberts8819]

Are you still trying not to gambling What is like not to gamble or still wanting to gambling

[@stephenedwards9857]

greed..thats where it starts

[@SistersScott]

That’s where it starts but it quickly becomes something else. You’ll win 500 and leave with zero or leave with 500 and come back the next day and give it back. I would rather be an alcoholic. 😩

[@MisterPolitical1]

I'm nothing like darryn creswell because I started gambling at 18 + I'm a controlled gambler.

[@benfrom90]

I reckon i lost about $50 to $60 grand since age 18 im 31 now im not as bad as i used to be back in my 20's i lost 2000 4000 5000 on a casino night its real easy to loose at the casino my addiction was on table games black jack roulette etc baccarat

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

Well, you have to give up Blackjack first thing. Who would ever be foolish enough to play a game where you can have the winning hand and end up losing? (hitting a hard 12 and busting, then the dealer turns over a 2 under his King). Yeah, stick to Baccarat, you'll win next time for sure, I can FEEL it.

[@asianlivesmatter3634]

Why is all the shows on other countries except US?..

[@ionthegravity2]

In the US, it's a billion dollar business

[@yolandam611]

Scary

[@davidku7743]

Throwing money away like that, what a waste!!

[@vintran2106]

Me too! I lost everyting..still doing agian.wtf wrong with me?

[@joelw9787]

You need to speak to someone about this. It's not fun, but it needs to be done. Telling my family that I had a gambling problem was the best decision I have ever made. I haven't touched any gambling sites since then. You can do the same.

[@vintran2106]

Joel W ! Thanks.

[@captaincusto5857]

You Vietnamese? How is it going with the gambling?

[@benfrom90]

Ive slowed down alot with my betting sick of the losses its a very serious condition texas holdem poker is the only game worth playing you got a chance there cause theres no casino house edge i am very knowlogable with casino table games

[@helloly]

benjamin fromholtz There is only so much one can take. We cannot be the judges...we were not there

[@dadon6055]

Gambling is fine...just make it so you can't play a poker machine or enter a casino unless you have a job! NO Centerlink Recipient SHOULD EVER! EVER! GAMBLE! IT'S NOT YOUR FKN MONEY TO GAMBLE WITH!

[@MisterPolitical1]

I bet mostly in small cash

[@peterpan7414]

[@harveyhurd7733]

Leave Donna alone

[@axeronta]

[@david81085]

Omfg did you see this dude just bang his dislocated knee back into place like that ,,,🤪 What the ffffuccccckkk 😣😭 ??????

[@vivianchetty8926]

He should have just gambled on elections

[@ionthegravity2]

I dont know who told him to do this, but he looks awful. Its hard to have sympathy when his kids are struggling, and he is living his best life with a mistress.

[@WhiteHorseOfKilburn]

i felt sorry for him up until he left his wife an kids for bimbo, wife desrves so much better

[@deeloc1993]

He's rich and gets with that hog

[@chicagomojo]

I understand that it is an addiction, but you abandoned your family for another woman. Your children are on welfare. Have you no integrity to provide for your kids?
