There’s been a lot of big priced winners today along with a lot of short priced favourites getting beat. The majority of punters can write it off as a bad day and walk away, yet some people like I used to do will now be chasing their losses to try and get their money back. (1/3)

I’ve lost count of how many times I gambled in such a compulsive way as this. It was one of many things that made me realise I had a problem. If you or someone else you know is resembling this sort of behaviour, please don’t be afraid to stop and have a chat with someone. (2/3)

As I say, most punters can happily take a step back after a bad day and I have a lot of respect for those people. If I kept on losing, I seemed to crave that winning feeling more than ever before which drove me to do some very stupid things. My messages are always open (3/3)
