Do Any One Really Win Any Thing Through Gambling

By: jon playre

That's how I started online - betting on horses was the only reason I bought my first 'internet ready' PC in 2001.
But like you said, patience is the key - and I just didn't have enough of it (like most gamblers! ). I found I had to study the form data for 1-2 hours just to pick 1 or 2 horses - just too damn tedious & boring!
(My 'system' was working, but was just too darned slow)
So I started playing casinos, and after a stupid money-wasting start I taught myself how to beat them. Yes they are games of luck, but money management & certain playing strategies can make it a profitable venture - as I have proved for the last 5 years!
The casino offers are one of the biggest cruds Ive EVER seen in my entire life. They advertise "We will double your signup amount" only to find out afterwards that you have to wager at least 30x your initial amount, so if you deposited £25 onto an online casino, and got £25 bonus you would have to wager at least £750 just to have the chance to withdraw any balance you have.
Not at all worth it. If your gonna gamble online, just signup with what you can afford, forget the bonuses (unless its the odd one where there are NO stipulations as to withdrawing) and there is the odd one or two out there
I got hooked on fruities at a very early age and wasted more money on them than I like to admit (£30,000+ over 20-ish years is probably a conservative figure). I later moved on to also doing horses, then Bricks & Mortar casinos, and finally online casinos.
I have never been a high-roller or got into really serious debt but I was wasting a stupid amount of money compared to my average income.
I did know I had a problem and I had to stop wasting money like I was, so I made a conscious attempt to become a 'bonus hunter' (in May 2001). This proved to be a turning point for me as I discovered with a bit self control it was possible to make frequent profit online. I suppose at first I viewed it as a 'vendetta' against the gambling providers - an attempt to get my money back!

As time went by I stopped being so ruthless (e.g. not just playing low-edge games like BlackJack to clear bonuses) and dabbled with other games, like slots.

You're spot on that my income/hour does sound pretty pathetic but I am more than happy with it. Before I started what I'm doing now I was wasting many £1,000's per year - frittering it away really. Now I am gaining a similar amount instead.
I get the best of both worlds - I satisfy my hunger for gambling and I make money. I know a lot of gamblers take it very seriously and it can cause stress and distress, but I honestly do play with a smile on my face. Why shouldn't I - my gambling has been entirely self-funding since mid-2001 and I actually have some savings in the bank for the first time ever in my whole life!
