I hope that everyone who reads this has better luck than me and I wish you all a happy New Year. I am done. Smiley

Your story is a powerful reminder of the ups and downs of the gambling world and the crucial importance of money management and self-control. Beginner’s luck is a common experience, often followed by significant losses when your luck changes, and unfortunately it is easy to get caught up in the euphoria of early wins without realizing that the reality of gambling is that losses are just as real as winnings.

Chasing losses, especially on parlays, is a trap that many gamblers face and the idea of ​​winning it all back with one big bet can be tempting but more often than not it only leads to more debt and only increases frustration.

I am grateful that you recognized this pattern and decided to stop... Your decision to not check your account and to walk away from gambling is a wise and courageous choice. It is a lesson and a warning to all that gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment and always with a reasonable budget, never as a solution to financial problems.

We hope that your story serves as a lesson for other gamblers, emphasizing the importance of responsibility and risk management.

I wish you strength and a smoother journey ahead, with a Christmas of renewal in the way you play (or don't play anymore) and a New Year of hope and with goals in new horizons.
