Why do you have credit card debt that had to wait for a 5k gambling "windfall" if you can afford to slowly spunk 250k up the wall at the same gambling sites?
you have a problem... you are an addict...
I can't figure out if this is a joke post or not
I think what he means is that he bet some money, won, and then used that to bet again, repeat and eventually the aggregate bets made totalled to be 250k.
This. Granted I was 24 and not great with money as my wife and I had about $1500 in credit card debt, but once or twice a year I'd put down $50 for a little fun money and play at an online casino for no more than a week or until the $50 was gone. The first time I tried, I managed to use a modified Martingale system for several days and worked it up to five grand before cashing out. Was never successful at making anything close to that again, but I never played with or lost more than I could afford.
Today, apart from a car note I took on two weeks ago after a car I drove 200,000 miles over the past 14 years finally gave out, I am debt free and have been since 2016, and I genuinely can't remember the last time I went to the casino. But, when I did, I brought $200, lost it but had my fun, and went home. No addiction whatsoever.
Because I was 24 years old and I put $50 on a debit card and managed to pump it up to $5000 and it was a one-off occurrence more than two decades ago? Relax.
he learned from his mistake chill the fuck out
