Time and time again on this message board folks write about their parents or others bailing them out from gambling debts. This unfortunately does not help the gambler. The gambler whose relatives bail him or her out will in most instances go back to gambling.

If you want to quit, please do not accept bail outs! This prolongs the gambling behavior.

Paying off one's debts is a form of victory. It makes us stronger and ...

I was just curious what was everyone's highest cash out online was if they ever had one. I say this because you should realize that there is a slim chance you'll ever see a withdrawal/cash out playing online. If there is chance you ever do get to experience it, you'll most likely give it right back to them. Mine was 40K once which was withdrawn out in increments of 10K every 10-15 days. You would ...
