wow looks like you had some pretty good runs. must have felt good. as long as the banker not broke will always have chance to lose back. While player will not have the ability to keep playing through losses link bankers

Baccarat right? Initially won $17k but lost all and down $21k. Won back $21k + $23k profit and then lost back $53k real net lost -$30k

Casino is and can NEVER be a hobby, it's like a gallow or a...... it's a matter of time before it will happen.

it can be a hobby if you go there planning to lose all your capital that you fix at the start, say $1000 a night

and treat it as an evening entertainment
having drinks, disturb the croupier, eat free food etc

the problem is people go there expecting to MAKE money over time, that is when you get F

Yes this is for 6 months, I got until vip member tier. In the end, no matter how I play, it is always player 8 banker 9 vice versa. Can somehow say that probably there is a unknown entity telling me to stop.

There was a point that it is way to unbelievable, I walked round the floors, 10 times miserably for an hour and no one would give a darn about me.

In the end I snapped out of it, exit the casino, took mrt, in mrt logged in ncpg and permanently ban myself, before reach home, crush the vip card into half and throw inside the incense burner.

$30k is quite a lot to me, it cause me a lot of pain and now still thinking about it. But now I leave it to fate, I dump most money from work into CPF to try hit FRS and buy SSB instead.

Inside casino, you see lots of foreigners, you all think they rich but truth is only 1% is rich the rest even want to Peggy back you on min $150 baccarat table for $5 lmao.

Never expect to win.

You are there to enjoy - if you win take it as a bonus.

Why give up? Even if only 1/10 win rate, you just need to bet big to recoup your loss on that 1/10 chance!!!!

It happens, 'gamblers anonymous' group have always shared that started and 'vowed' with a fixed capital before they ended up to their nose in debts. This is particularly worse for those who have very poor self control.
