News of Gambling Addiction Forum

I never had a gambling addiction until this year. I won a few jackpots in a few weeks time and then lost control. I put all the winnings back in plus several thousand dollars of my own.

The excitement one would had with watching a sportsgame whilst having placed a bet was fun. I began to play every day and started to lose and lose. I began to play more and more and with more money. There were days i would play 500$ or even ...
