I had a student overdraft of £3000. I had that paid off until last month when I got into online gambling. Before I knew it I had blown the lot. I got sucked in and it sounds stupid but it really doesn't 'hit you' until it's gone. It really does take a gambler to undestand. My parents are furious too, so it has affected my relationship with then. I learnt the hard way and I most definately will NOT make the same mistake again. People seriously if you havn't gambled online before, then DON'T. You are not missing out on the 'fun'! I would appreciate if you could help in anyway. I totally understand if you think I deserve losing all my money. It was ridiculously foolish :( Declan
