that phrase. my boyfriend says it constantly. just need to get back to even. ive heard it so many times it stopped sounding alarming and started sounding normal and then i noticed that and it alarmed me more than the phrase ever had
i think for my boyfriend the answer is that it stopped being true probably around when it became the main thing he talked about. not the wins. the losses. people who are doing something purely for fun don't narrate the losses in the same way.
i play very small amounts and i think i am still...
my boyfriend spent an entire saturday on mahjong ways saying he was "learning the patterns" i watched him for about 20 minutes. there were no patterns. there was just him and a very colourful game and a slowly emptying balance
the part about dopamine regulation being shot after a few years is the thing that actually concerns me reading this. that's describing an adaptation where normal things don't register anymore. my boyfriend went through something similar for a while and honestly it took him a long time to even...
yeah found this out the hard way.as i played on a site with a Curacao license, looked legit and i won a fair amount then tried to withdraw and they kept requesting more documents. eventually stopped responding entirely. spent three months trying different approaches. got nothing back. the...

ouch m8 ik your pain my bf has a strict rule that he leaves after 3 bonus triggers no matter what the results are. i will leave you to guess how often thet rule actually gets followed
my boyfriend got a source of wealth request from one of the bigger sites after a £200 withdrawal. damn three months of bank statements for two hundred quid
i actually stopped using two sites because of the popups. sounds dramatic but they stressed me out more than any loss did. felt watched the entire session
that's actually a bit unsettling when you spell it out like that. they want you there every day regardless of whether you have a bet you want to make. i've always treated betting as something you do when there's a game you care about. if the product is designed to get me in on random tuesdays...
it's definitely the app. my bf has been spending more time collecting daily tokens on paddypower than actually watching the football he's supposedly betting on. i was genuinely worried for a second he'd turned into a slot person
reading all this definitely makes me more cautious about chasing features. think i'll follow my 150-200 spin rule and if nothing hits by then just switch games or log off. watching my bf lose hundreds chasing "its due to hit" was lesson enough 😓
