quick break needed...

Right over the last week or so people may assume I was stressing over £11,000 owed. I actually was not, it was simply the final straw. During the last week I am almost £20,000 down. I have started doing sports bets again, here is an example of one bet:

Its silly to sports bet when you play poker. Now added to this something has happened that has seen me so close to going to prison, it is still ongoing which scares me as my life is too good to go inside for a year or two. But at the same time I doubt I can ever tame my savage instinct which I have. It has taken me years and years to control yet every now and then something comes up which brings the worst out in me and I just know I will get into big trouble. Anyways having come so close on Saturday to doing something silly I got lucky and escaped. But this weekend I know I will feel the same and probably end up doing what I almost done last weekend, so today I found a compromise, go away to Vegas for the weekend! I am arriving In vegas on thursday with $30,000 and having a crazy weekend! On friday until sunday an absolutely beautiful girl I know from canada is staying with me also, then on Monday I fly back to London hopefully richer and much happier! Either way I avoid London and a likely prison sentence this weekend! So wish me luck in vegas, god i do love poker, america and life in general! Whatever happens generally we are in control!
