Hello,

Long time lurker here!

Looking to see if anyone else is in the same boat as me or has been, and a little advice or support would go a long way!

I've recently won 60k and don't feel over the moon, or happy! no emotions what so ever with the win, maybe a small glimmer of happiness? 

Today I deposited around 800 and turned this into 8000. I just lost the 8000 and I am absolutely raging, emotions all over the place. How come this has affected me much more than the big win? Compared to what I have won it is nothing!

Time to self exclude?!


 

 
I would take a little break to be honest and just try and enjoy the money invest it or spend it on some nice things. 
 

You could easily blow 60k pretty quick. 
 

 
Time to self exclude?! : That is a big fat and juicy YES YES YES YES!!!!!

Do a self exclude now, dont delay it for tomorrow. Trust me, you will never regret a self exclusion. Enjoy the money, for me it gave me alot of time to enjoy the winnings.

 
Thanks guys! Just waiting for the withdrawal to hit my bank account. Any experience in how long it takes to a UK bank usually? withdrawal was processed today.

 
You've answered your own question @Twenty20: You don't get happy when you win, you get angry when you lose = no point in playing.

As some other forum members have suggested, I'd say take a break and enjoy your winnings. Those remaining 59K could get blown in no time at all, if you catch a cold streak. You know how it feels to lose 8K, now multiply that with a 7.5. Good luck and congrats on your initial big win! 

 
Been there had that aswel. What can you do is this : if you won widraw hard cash out so you can see the amount in bills large bils . Save it and take some brakes play once a week and start small so you can enjoy . I hope my advise can help you . Success 😊😊😊😊

 
Treat yourself to something nice and take a break. Put money into an ISA so it can't be touched perhaps. Just be disciplined and don't chuck it back into the casinos.  That's a life changing amount of money for most.

 
Please self exclude. If you are in a relationship that you want to. Please invest there emotionally. If not. Find 

 
@Twenty20Depends how much your 60k win cost you? If it cost 59k then that's totally understandable 😄

I'll say this - big wins are great. But a big win that puts you back to starting balance after it's gone seriously south feels 10 x better. Perhaps you need to feel the pain before you can feel the joy.

 
I once won 40.000€ in one session. 

Lost it all back in 4 days after 

But even that I see it as 50€ lost

It was all or nothing, sometimes you need to risk big to win big. If I didn't risk it in the first place i would never win 40k. 

If you are problem gambler or have debts then that's another story

 
Moving away from category for sometime is the best way to self exclude. Moving from casino to sports betting or vice versa. 

 
Don’t self exclude because that can come back to bite you down the road with casino sister sites. Block all casinos for 1 month. I find this is the perfect amount of time to total reset. I’ve been gambling for 25 years. When I win big or loose big I take at least 1 month to completely reset from it.
