Matthew youre right. One of the things that finally helped me well, not stop cos i know i never will truly stop but ive had contol of my habit for 13 years now. It was after my best ever win. I was walking on air that day. Better than sex! BUT over the next couple of months i gave it all back. That was when the penny( or the £) really dropped for me of how pointless it all is.
@@davidrogers6682we live in a different age now where the fun has gone 😢 used to be able to go in an arcade with £20 and have a lot of fun but now that goes in a minute and nothing happens! 🫤 and it takes 2 hours on a minimum wage job to earn! All that’s in pubs are random games designed to make as much money as possible off people and encourage people to chase their losses and lose more! And the government doesn’t care because all they care about is the taxes they make 🤦♂️
cheers to you realizing that you have an issue and are trying to do something about it. God willing the 7th of July ill have 2 years sober from alcohol
Hi paul, I've been almost a year gamble free. Best thing I ever did. I had the ultimatum of either losing my girlfriend, kids, and business or stop gambling. I choose wisely and can honestly say it's the best thing I ever did. Don't get me wrong, I miss it every day and still get the urge every time there's a big game on. Don't go back. Keep strong and take every day as it comes 💪🏻
Big step made today, you will thank your future self for this decision, I’ve been addicted since I was 18, worst addiction going, its too normalised in society and many lives lost too from Gambling, Good luck with your recovery mate!
That's what addiction dose you say it so many times you will stop and for some there will come a day that you can walk away for good really hope this is his time
All the best Paul! 👌🏻 Although I’ll miss your videos, I fully respect and understand your decision. I’ll look forward to following your journey on not gambling! Please keep in touch!✌🏻
Top man for realising enough is enough I have watched you from the start and love your videos but only you know what's right for you and your family nothing but love
Well done Paul followed you for 10yrs cards have changed so much since then good luck with stopping gambling it's hard i know i'm a recovering drug addict for 8yrs you have to fight it everyday
All the best to you Paul. Even when Camelot were in charge the scratchcards were wank. Now it's a new firm they are even worse, just ain't worth it. Think your making a great decision.
Hi my day 1 again 2day managed 2 years and fell back into it done gamban and Gamstop so here goes, good luck on your journey I will be following along x
All the best mate. I was a compulsive gambler for years but finally stopped 10 years ago and it's the best thing I ever did. It's going to be hard but the longer you abstain the easier it gets. Good luck.
*I Genuinely Admire Your Willpower, Positivity and Above All Else Your personality i have watched all of your videos for many years now and i will be sad to not see them anymore, i hope in time you can come back in some other way good luck paul* 😊
Ill miss the videos, they were always entertaining to watch, whuch makes me sad. But it makes me so happy to see your finally doing this whole heartedly, compared to other times! This makes me so happy! All the money u can go on holiday. Good on you, all the best, just miss you xx
Thanks for the videos mate 👍 i think the source of gambling addiction is because we live in a system designed to enslave people, one of the ways out of the slavery is to have lots of money, it's being financially free which we dream about, or in other words what we would do with that money, having the option to do what you wish to do with your life.
good luck fella. ive been binge watching all your vids ive missed over the years and hitting the like . maybe youll get some of the money back from youtube. x
My brother had a big gambling problem.. one day he ended up stealing about £5,000 from his work! Totally regretted it..been about 8years since then he’s not been into a bookies.. that’s what it took for him to realise stop..
I work in a bookies and i can say you're right, we do have faces on our screen of people that are bared in the area from OUR company. Not my shop but others do have facial recognition when you walk in now that helps. Facial recognition on the SSBTs now (Not the FOBTs for some reason) but me myself genuinely try and help people that get angry and stressed but 99% of the time they don't wanna hear it from you, they abuse you, threaten you. So now i just leave it if they wanna smash the machine i let em. End of the day if they're taking their anger out on a machine and not the staff that's a lot better for me. But i agree alot more has to be done but facial recognition in some shops is a small step forward.
Some People just have addictive personalities, you can fight it and say you will STOP but the urge will always be there until the Grave, it's all about staying strong. Gambling gives you a FALSE sense of Happiness. If you can find something non self destructive to get addicted to it will help a lot. Good Luck Paul.
Hello Paul, all the very best for the future, good luck in your next adventure & I'll carry on following you, thank you for the last 12 years & I'll see you soon
Scratch cards have never been good, but they've definitely gotten worse over the last five years. The good wins are few and far between. The best you can hope for in the vast majority of cases, even on a £5 ticket, is your money back, and what is the point of playing just to get your stake back? I hope you stick to this, Paul.
Well done for turning in to the long winding corner of stopping gambling. I've lost to much to think about over the years and scratch cards was one of the hooks I had. I watched your channel to try and help me not buy them, and if you lost it justified my decision to not buy...but in reality If you won I wanted to buy and win also. It's a hard path and I wish you well.
I used to buy too many cards and go bingo way too many times a week, it's not worth spending your hard earned cash on. Now I just buy one £5 card on a Saturday and I stick to that. Good luck to you my friend.. I've followed you since the beginning and I'll continue to watch your journey ❤
you inspired my wife and i to start our channel . so a MASSIVE THANKS FOR THAT , we do it for the entertainment and fun we have ,take care in what you do ,
All the best Paul I struggle with gamble aswell so hearing your advice helps a lot scrachcards don’t pay no way near as much as they used to 5/6 years ago
Right decision Paul, thank you for all these years of company... good luck and lots of health accompany you and your family which is the most important thing ♥️
Well i hope you really mean it this time Paul. As a gambler myself i had a lot of respect for you the last time you "quit" and admitted publicly your addiction. Then i was mad as hell when you came back soon after. I was also bloody angry that so many members ( who probably dont understand the addiction) encouraged you to return! Because of my own experience i knew that the vids we see was the tip of the iceberg and that youd be doing plenty more gambling off screen. Youre right, its not easy trying to quit. I fight it every day but you have to keep trying. Really try this time. Good luck
well done Paul its defo time i look forward to watching your journey I think more channels will also stop doing the cards no one wins enjoy your time not gambling I have been watching your channel for over 10 years so defo follow your journey sending my best wishes
Said this to you ages ago Paul..I've been there done it pal .kicked all the gambling in head worse than drugs my friend.happy days good luck paul.thx for the vids 👍👊❤️
Been there done that blocked my self on everything was online casinos mainly good luck bless you first step is admitting it to yourself and realising that you have got a prob ❤
First, it's not the end, it's a new beginning! Second well done on taking the next step mate. Over the last month I've spent £23 on cards.. I was at one point spending £30 a day. Cards are shit, don't wanna go online, and shops are full of weird ones.. Good luck buddy! I've been here for 12 years and be here for the next!!
Fair play mate..you have a lovely family to look after .gambling is a killer as i use to have a massive gambling issue but like to think ive beaten it mate as i also have a family who look up to me buddy❤
Good on you for recognising you have a problem with gambling. I myself had an issue . But I said to myself. From now on if I feel like gambling the amount of money I was thinking about spending I put into a jar. Amd at the end of the year I had a huge payday . What ever method you choose best of luck to you
Hey Paul, that was so brutally honest but well done you. We supported you over the years with your scratch cards but now we will support you in hopefully stopping gambling. I will follow you on Tic Tok. Take care xx
Good for you enoughs enough! Well done you, but will say it's so hard as since my dad's passed away there's only about a month on and off since I've actually stopped gambling 😮😮 and my dad passed away in January the 4th 2022 😢 anyways good for you for trying to stop mate thumbs up for that one 👍👍
I don't blame you scratch have just gone down hill for the past few years i used to buy every week and win more often than not now it's like l,m just giving my money away sod that so good luck to you mate 😊😊😊👍👍
You have made the right decision.Although you talk about gambling in general, I would advise all the people who do the scratch card channels to give it up as all we see is them losing too much money and you can sense their dispare. I've stopped buying scratchcards and doing the Lotto as we are all being mugged. Good luck for the future and wish you well.
Glad you've decided to stop xx .family is far more important ..love the buss from them x ...Paul you've alot to be happy about x ...go get help again x ...sending love your way x❤️
Good luck Paul I respect your decision to stop gambling. Watched your channel for ages now and I do know that you have taught a lot of people that cards are not the answer to getting rich quick. I hope you find the strength a day at a time to stop . Best wishes for the future x
Hello Scratchcard King, what a sad new....i really like your channel, and i will miss you! But...i respect your decision, these games are made to loose money! I wish you all the best in your life!!
In the 6 years I've watched you I appreciate you Sandwell for all the times you made me not buy scratchcards I wont be watching your tiktok videos because I don't do tiktok but if you upload here or on another youtube channel id happy continue to watch you
I did something similar Paul, it gets easier in promise, I still do scratch cards for a bit of entertainment. But no sports or slot betting. I realised I only like watching my own team play, and I watched every other team or sport because I was getting on them. FOBTYs could have killed me if I didn’t meet my good lady and come clean on the extent. Lean on your family and friends, it’s a better world without gambling, I guarantee it.
Your always chasing the wins paul you just get to a point when enough is enough think of all the things youll be able to do with that money much love 🎉🎉
Sorry to inform you but the urge NEVER goes away... I have met it in the middle ...I now gamble to "Buy entertainment" and have gotten rid of all the deadwood gambling... Scratchcards, Lottery, fruit machines, and betting shop FOBT machines... You CAN NOT win on these. So pleased you have finally admitted you have a problem... I did the same... I was in denial ..I stopped gambling for 11 Months... The urge never goes away..So I now just gamble for fun... I keep an accurate record of my profits and losses from one week to the next.... 9 weeks out of 10 I am down... You get the odd week when you make a small profit... If you are not greedy you can actually "Hold your own" on football betting... It tends to go true to form. Kind regards Brian
2 things I’ve learned about gambling. No win is ever big enough, and all wins just become future losses. Is it worth the risk?
Matthew youre right. One of the things that finally helped me well, not stop cos i know i never will truly stop but ive had contol of my habit for 13 years now. It was after my best ever win.

Sorry to inform you but the urge NEVER goes away... I have met it in the middle ...I now gamble to "Buy entertainment" and have gotten rid of all the deadwood gambling... Scratchcards, Lottery, fruit machines, and betting shop FOBT machines... You CAN NOT win on these.
So pleased you have finally admitted you have a problem... I did the same... I was in denial ..I stopped gambling for 11 Months... The urge never goes away..So I now just gamble for fun... I keep an accurate record of my profits and losses from one week to the next....
9 weeks out of 10 I am down... You get the odd week when you make a small profit...
If you are not greedy you can actually "Hold your own" on football betting... It tends to go true to form.

All the best,and I know you have heard probs like me, so I send you peace and love from carl x
