Gambling Addiction & Recovery Support Group for FG Casino Junkies

Hello fellow addicts. My name is G-man and I admit that I have a gambling problem... twice I have lost thousands only to be left penniless and homeless... my FG cyber life has been reduced to begging for money to play in the FG casino, friends and family have loaned me money, but I just can't help myself from going to the casino and blowing it all again... forcing me to resort to *cough*... posting in the Word Game forums just to provide me with enough cash to return back to the casino... In fact, the entire purpose of this thread was so that I could earn a measly $5 just to return to the blackjack table in the casino...

Who's next? Don't mind me... I'll be back... I'm obviously not ready to recover quite yet... :wah::wah::wah:

Hey, it was only a matter of time before such a support group would be necessary. It's a great new feature to encourage posting and provide something fun for the members to do, Tombstone, but... the stats show that problems also arise with these establishments. :wah:

Why am I not surprised to see that this thread has taken off? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it didn't in time, even challenge the great FOC thread. :wah:

*another dollar!* I'm heading back to the slot machines this time I believe... considering that Chezzie just lost some more at it... it should be bound for a jackpot payout soon eh? :sneaky:

A statue has been erected in the park depicting G-man in his time of trial. Let us go pay homage.

See...........I can't help it...............I'm addicted I tell ya !

My name is Pam. And I'm a mumuholic. I am not blaming my friends for dragging me in there. Sure I'd never heard of mumu before Theia and Betty Boop whispered the wicked word in my ear, but I take responsibilty for my own downfall. GNASH.. I'll get them... may their cardies shrink...er... um. I scored 63... yes.. sixty three.. and I can't get it out of my head. All those brightly coloured squares beckon to me. ARRRGJGJGJGJJ

I'm still $341 dollars up .... and am thinking of starting a moneylending business.. You got a fancy car, a big yacht, even just a few diamonds as collateral - I'll consider making you a little loan... with very reasonable interest!! Say 40% per day. Compound.

Blackjack generally has the best odds... not so sure about it here, however. :wah:

I installed Andrew's software on another forum and am still testing it, though.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind with playing Blackjack, btw:

1) Stand if you hold 12 to 16 and the dealers up card is between two and six.

2) Hit if you hold 12 to 16 and the dealer shows a seven or higher.

3) Stand if your count is between 17 and 21.

4) Always split pairs of eights and aces.

5) Never split tens, fives or fours!

6) Double down on 11, unless the dealer shows a 10 or an Ace.

Try and roughly follow that and you should do fairly well.

( Mind you this is coming from someone that has lost over $30,000 since the casino was installed on here.) :wah:
