Exciting & Adventurous..Great Day + New Website that needs reviewing.

Carry on!
I work for a Casino group remember. Grosvenor are one of my corporate clients (as a hobby too - quite proud of that). You are young. Get you addicted early. Not like you have an addictive personality or anything (what with drinking and smoking - gambling should be easy to get you hooked on).

Neil, Charlie smokes and drinks and gambles 'cos it's a whim. Remember, that's what he told us? So that's OK....

It's not like he comes on here complaining of no money and no business is it...

The impetuosity of youth. What can you do with them.

Charlie, you seem to realise already that you may have a problem on the casino side of things but in the next breath you seem to be trying to convince yourself that the Casino treats you differently to every other punter - They DON'T. They look at you and see £££ Signs and because you are young I would say that they also think you have plenty of disposable income. If you have had chats with the staff then I am pretty sure that after a few drinks you have told them what you do, where you live etc so they know all the details.

I've visited a Casinos in the past, the first time I went..well, luck must have been shining down on me because I won a lot of money but it's not always like that and I soon learnt what it was like. Luckily I realised long before I lost loads of money but I'll tell you this little horror story mate. If this doesn't scare you then I'm sorry but you are on a very swift road to ruin......Sounds harsh but true.....

I used to go regularly to a bookies in my town. I never spent loads of money but I got to know a lot of people that were regulars there. Taxi Drivers who would finish their shifts and be sat at the gambling machines with their money bags etc... I also heard talk of them going on regular Casino Nights to Reading (nearest Casino to Basingstoke). I got to know a guy who owned a small Italian restaurant at the top of town. He used to go on the Casino Nights with the Taxi Drivers and asked me if I wanted to go with them once, I declined. I was speaking to him for months and then he disappeared (or it seemed like it, he didn't go in the bookies anymore).

One day I overheard one of the Taxi Drivers talking to the Manager of the bookies (who I knew very well). He was saying that 'Mario' (as we used to call him because he looked like Mario out of Super Mario), had lost BIG TIME. He had taken thousands out of his business, lost it and then tried to borrow and get credit etc so that he could try and recoup his losses...he didn't. The long and short of it is that he lost his restaurant which was not only his business but his life too. I saw him for the first time in about 3 years on Monday when I was walking through town and he looked like a totally different person. There was no life in him. I've also seen one of the blokes who used to be a Taxi Driver actually sitting outside begging because he has lost everything.

Casinos are a business Charlie and their business is to get your money. When you realise that properly, you won't waste any money on them anymore. Let's just hope it isn't too late already and the damage you have done isn't that bad. You have plenty of years to sort yourself out. The best thing you can do with your money is to get your own place, whether it's renting or purchasing because then you'll realise that you will HAVE to get the work in to pay the rent or mortgage because if you don't, you'll lose the roof over your head just like the 2 examples I have given.

Hmmm I suspect all this talk of casino's making big money has got Charlie looking into running one!

I spent all my student years in the bookies. I only ever made money in the bookies.



















Why? I worked there. I have seen a lot of people lose their money.
