      Hello everyone,

      1 year ago i started sportsbetting for the first time i have been addicted for 6 months straight.

      Working every month giving litteraly each and every cent away to sportsbetting.

      Untill i discovered that gaming helped me get off gambling, now i am addicted to gaming instead of gambling.

      The game that i been playing is called Runescape. I often buy in-game coins for not more than 10dollars and u can get a along way with it.

      Although this will not help for everyone this does helped for me ?? now i am 3 months gambling free. Sometimes i am getting i dont know how to call it like a ; gambling attack.

      That i just need to check the scores (i was a sport better) checking the score so my mind feel better. Placing a few bets in my head and returning the next day and seeing that i would still of have lost it. (ofcourse

      if you will place bets in ur head each and everyday u will win a few for sure but that is not the point, because u will lose them straight the next day if u betted with real money.

      I have understand that you cannot beat the bookmakers at their game, greed will usually kick in and this all happends in a loop which you CAN control like i did!

      Now i’m looking forward into life not wasting anymore money on gambling!

      I hope this message will help you guys quit gambling, everyone is different and this option worked for me. I wish i would of have never got addicted to gambling just a few dollars here and a few dollars there but i didn’t did that

      and i had to learn my lesson the hard way. Glad it worked out well now.

      Goodluck everyone with stopping with gambling ??

      Thanks for sharing this -gaming site would Definitely be a much better option than gambling – although I immediately am thinking I could win some money at it !

      It is good you stopped so early – As you have probably read – gambling is a progressive illness – so only gets worse.
      Keep strong xx
