Make Money But Don’t Get Addictive – Poker
About a year and half ago I was in a position of not being able to pay for mortgage and other household bills. Even though my wife and I both were working full time, we still didn’t generate enough money to have a good easy life. We were finding it hard to fulfil our kids needs and this is very important when they are growing up and listening to our advice on being good hard working people when they grow up. Then one weekend we were just chatting to our friends on Facebook and having a few game of poker. I was always good in playing poker as I had been playing for a while now, then my wife had an idea. She wanted me to join an online poker room.
At first I didn’t agree as we were already struggling with saving money and I did not want to go to a gambling site and spend something we can use for our kids. After few days my wife asked me again if I wanted to play with £20 just to see how it goes. I said ok fine I will give it a go. So I joined a party poker site online. I started with £20 and after few hours of playing it increased to £100, so I stopped there for that day. I didn’t tell my wife because I know she would be like play more. You should never be addicted to gambling and I don’t want to be doing this everyday.
I took that £100 and paid the bills for that month and then I realised we are back in the same position and struggling again. Then after 5 to 6 weeks I found a full tilt Rakeback £30 voucher in one of my old magazine. So I thought I can used this for poker and see what happens as it is a free voucher. I started playing again and I played for few hours over the weekend for next few weeks and got my winnings to £300. From which I saved £200 and spent £100 for the household bills for that month and then I realized I have just saved £200. Then I kept playing for few hours every weekend and after few months my winnings was upto £3000.
I wasn’t addictive to it I was making sure that I do not go over board with gambling and after 18 months of poker, I am a professional online poker player and my earning has gone upto £50,000. Our life has changed.
