These are some of the myths I would tell myself as a compulsive gambler which I’m sure resonate with other compulsive gamblers out there.
- I can stop on my own accord, when I’m ready.
- The big win is just around the corner.
- My luck will change.
- I can beat the bookie.
- Other people can spend £200 going out at the weekend so spending that on gambling is not excessive.
- Gambling is not affecting my personality, relationship or career.
- When I get the big win to pay off my debts I will stop gambling.
- My friends and family would not understand my problem
- If something is odds on favourite it must win
- Free bet offers are brilliant for me!
