  The fact that I had 2 gambling adverts come up whilst watching this is sickening

  Ban gambling adverts, its like selling crack, then saying take responsibly and stop when the fun stops

  I felt sick when I put £30 on red and it lost. Can’t imagine the feeling putting £58,000 and seeing the horse lose. Poor man. Hope he’s doing better

  I pissed away a fortune gambling and I still miss the adrenaline of the casino. After losing everything the only job I could find was washing dishes. So anytime I feel like placing a bet I go to my buddy’s restaurant and wash dishes

  I&apos;m 30 years into my gambling addiction, I&apos;ve lost over £1.5million over my lifetime, I&apos;ve been living a lie for the last 15 years and its hidden from everyone apart from my best friend and my Mrs. Everyone talks about drug addiction being the worst thing in the world but I think I could rival any drug addict with all the shit and mental health issues I have put and continue to put myself through on a weekly basis. <br>My advice to anyone who reads this.....NEVER GAMBLE.

  The worst thing that can happen to you in gambling is winning big. That’s when it has you

  Gambling steals your time, your resources, your energy.. It destroys your relationship with family and friends as well. It lands you in debt. Makes you depressed... Quit now and change your life!

  Respect to this bloke for not making excuses or blaming anyone. Just owned it and was raw about his past.

  Stopped gambling 2 months ago after gambling for the last 15 years, wasn&apos;t easy with the World Cup but I didn&apos;t have a bet and vow to never again. Saw I was neglecting my children, never had money for fun days out, clothes or even time for them. In just 2 months I&apos;ve been on nice days out with my family and spend more time with my children, loving it, just wish I&apos;d done this sooner, I&apos;m 40 by the way.
