Accumulator bets have some of the worst expected value in gambling and the bookies margin compounds with each leg you add. When 5 fold acca might look like good odds but the true odds are significantly worse than what you're getting paid.
With that said good on you for recognizing the problem. most people don't realize until they're in serious financial trouble and £2800 is recoverable. But your mate is in real danger please try to reason him.

all lads have same problem. one fella put his entire weeks wages on a 5 fold last month. four came in and the last match ended 0-0 when he needed over 2.5 goals. proper meltdown he had. his missus nearly left him over it
the apps make it too easy now as you can lose full bag while sat on the toilet

its brutal i had similar. had a 7 fold come down to last match needing btts and it finished 1-0. was only £15 stake but wouldve paid £940. drove me crazy for days

think im gonna look into that gamstop thing. might as well make it official so i cant just redownload when arsenal are playing lol
 
crap this limiting thing is such a joke. they happily take your money when youre losing but soon as you win a few times they restrict you
 
@notyourdealer definitely do the gamstop mate. my cousin did it after losing his payment money. said it was the best decision he made. been clean for 18 months now and actually enjoys watching football again
your mate needs to get help too before he loses his house. theres free gambling addiction services in uk. gamcare i think

ok i heard you guys. i only bet small here and there so never realy thought about the chasing part.scary how easy it is to get sucked down the hole

and trust me you better keep it that way mate! once you start increasing stakes to chase losses its game over. the bookies are counting on people doing exactly that

Another lvl shithole is inplay betting. Used to be you placed your bets before kickoff and that was it but now you can bet every minute of the match. corner coming up? bet on it. free kick? bet on it. It's designed to keep you engaged and spending the entire match

you forgot cash out option then. they make it look like youre being smart by cashing out early but the cash out amount is always worse than it should be. they take a massive cut
 
can't watch matches with my mate anymore because of this. not only checkiing phone all the time but his mood is devastated as well
i wish i could convince him to take a break too but you know next one will be "the one" that gets him back to even sure it will why not damn
