Luckily for me, I found the Tir Na Soir website (http://tnsradio.ning.com/) and that was a game changer. I think the forum postings on the "Official Offer" may be of immediate use to you.<br /><br />Hope this is of some use,<br />Me<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647988297757094376.post-25073289043469499982013-05-15T01:41:52.393-07:002013-05-15T01:41:52.393-07:00"I cannot figure out the difference between t..."I cannot figure out the difference between those that enjoy a flutter as a form of entertainment and those of us that us gambling as a weapon of destruction."<br /><br />I saw a documentary a while ago, I think it was either Panorama or Horizon on the BBC, which was asking similar questions and they found that problem gamblers brains are wired slightly differently to other people's. I think it was something to do with the amount of dopamine (pleasure / reward chemical) and other hormones that gets released at certain times when one is gambling, particularly after a loss. I can't remember exactly but I think they found that after a loss in a normal gambler the level of a certain chemical in the brain drops, but in problem gamblers it doesn't. <br /><br />They now have quite a simple test that they can be done on anyone to identify if their brain is wired in a way that means they are likely to be a problem gambler. According to the scientists, the chance of having a gambling problem tends to be unaffected by background, past circumstances etc..... it's just a difference in certain people's brains that they are born with. It's a shame kids aren't tested in schools so that those at risk could be warned.<br /><br />So there you are. Maybe it's just the way your brain is wired and the bogeyman doesn't really exist at all!<br /><br />BazbazAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647988297757094376.post-79940694615168462102013-05-13T04:43:29.418-07:002013-05-13T04:43:29.418-07:00Hi Paddy,

Nowadays it's very rare for me to do those things but when I do I completely forget about trading, gambling, horse racing, money or possible financial crises that might arrive in 5 years time. You could try to rediscover your old passions from before the drug of Betfair was introduced.<br />Another thought I've had is that all the talk of the 'credit crunch' and the forever rising 'cost of living' is so daunting that it's no wonder people are trying to make money anyway they can, and if you have a laptop and read '100k in 1 year' blogs it's so easy to be suckered into online gambling.<br /><br />Keep posting and good luck,<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />LeroyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647988297757094376.post-43091586879997367182013-05-13T04:21:57.611-07:002013-05-13T04:21:57.611-07:00Hi Paddy,

I managed 1 month without a bet last year but got back on it after that and back to square one 30k debt. Started once again and up to a month without a bet and been good but paid a couple or debts of c/c and can feel the urge brewing. I started running/jogging as very unfit and overweight and has helped might be worth a try its time consuming and you do feel good after. good luck on your journeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
