Hi Peeps,

I want to share a story, that’s really got me down.

For those who know, I very rarely visit the forum these days, not because I don’t wish to trade anymore. I do dabble a little bit and prefer to try and let a value bet ride on the exchange, just so don’t like to be glued to a screen these days

Casino/story.

For those who don’t know, I got into gambling/trading originally from playing the FOBT machines a good 15 years ago, which led me to casinos, then to working in on horse racing business, to then abit of trading.

True story.

I was wondering around a town in the UK three months ago. Whilst having a couple hours spare I popped into an independent casino.
Just out of curiousty.
I knew within 5 minutes of being there and don’t want to go into details, but I noticed there roulette wheel could be beaten.

(Have a national ban at Gentings/Grosvenor since 2011 for same edge/skill)

Anyway cut the long story short, I spent all of August, all of September working my bollocks off.
I was there from open until close. Some days 15/16 hours, honing I’m on my skills.

I was planning to go for the big one (days away)
I turn up on Saturday afternoon, to find out I’ve been banned.
I only managed 25k in profit, and I know this is petty, but it has broken me mentally.
I cannot trade a race, bet a horse. I cannot do anything without thinking straight. I’m emotionally attached to everything.

I can’t sleep, I’m in a really low place.
The rage they have caused deep inside has really effected my mental health.

Anyway, wanted to share it and get it off my chest.

Happy trading.

It's always a dilemma when you find an edge.

Batter it relentlessly, whatever the consequences, or get the money slowly.

There is no right answer, but 25k doesn't seem such a huge amount for 2 months of work and a ban. Thou am sure I might have gone
the same route.

If you have no alternatives, your only recourse is finding overseas casinos or selling the skill to partners.
