Default We all knew it was coming

Im quitting while im just about still ahead. Way too addictive, much like the fruit machines that i used to fill up on a regular basis years ago. Quiting them was one of the best things i did. I can see how you could go broke at bingo, most people are losing alot of money each day playing. Its pure gambling just relying on luck, i said i wouldn't do that again, hence why i play poker and sports betting. Ive managed to do both of these with no addiction so far.Trust me i know what gambling addiction feels like. Horses and poker require skill and knowledge, of course a bit of luck helps.
I knew when i started playing bingo it was a rip off but its hard to avoid the lure of winning money for doing nothing, £200 for 3 minutes watching a screen compared to maybe 4 hrs in a poker tournament using your head,hmmm.
The highs are good obviously but the lows wow they could get very bad. Fortunately i can sense when things are heading that way, ive enough experience of it in whatever form to know when to quit.
Reading the chat box on the bingo games is very revealing occasionaly i saw somebody saying they had won a grand,£500 or whatever and others are telling them to cash out quick the reply was typical, im not stopping now ive won £2k since Thursday etc. Mostly it was people saying this is my last game as no funds left bye see you all 2moro, or more often it was im due a win ive spent £90 today, or ive been playing all day and only had 1 line
Its obvious to see how much the sites are making out of these games
The final straw for me was when i spotted the mini games basically theyre fruit machines that you can play whilst watching the bingo on the same page, very clever design by the programmers So that was good night from me.
Basically i had my fun won some money, lost some money, bought a couple of things with a couple of cash outs, put too much back in again and eventually QUIT no harm done.
ps if anyone comes on and says im addicted to sports betting you can FECK RIGHT OFF
lol
