“A gambler who wants to stop gambling, does not require any proof for this realization. For a gambler who does not want to stop gambling, it’s impossible to provide any proof.”

Quote by M.Trojan

This book is for all gamblers,

Whom I have so far not been able to help sufficiently.

I hope that this book will help them to gain their freedom.

All advice provided in this book was carefully considered and checked by the author. Despite this, a guarantee cannot be given. For this reason, liability by the author and publisher shall be excluded. Moreover, in all articles, advice and opinions the author invokes the artistic licence as well as the general freedom of opinion.

Being at the slot machine is very true to real life – the principle of contingency makes the winners. Only, at the slot machine you pay large sums of money for a small accidental win. There is nothing much else that will destroy life more systematically than the addiction to gambling. Nothing else destroys the soul in a comparable manner. Luck and coincidence cannot be compared to each other. It is just coincidence if you win something at the slot machine – but it is true luck if you don’t become addicted immediately.

With this book I would like to make an important contribution to standing up to the gambling industry. I’d like to do this as a counselor for gambling addicts and also as a person who became pitilessly addicted to gambling just like many others and was misguided by an illusion and many false promises. The time to pretend that these things don’t exist is definitely over and anyone who does not want to use this guide as a self-help book for gamblers may alternatively consider it as a kind of declaration of war because I will not stand by silently and watch how more and more people commit suicide due to their high gambling debts while the gambling industry generates billion-dollar sales and continues to make light of the dangers of gambling. At the end of the day, not the better PR adviser or those with the more effective financial means will win, but rather the truth will prevail; finally, the truth always prevails – I am truly convinced of that.

“Gamblers never win and true winners

do not gambling”

Quote by M.Trojan

Hi, my name is Michael; my friends and gambling colleagues at the time called me “Guru”. Just like them, I was a gambler. Or rather, as I preferred to see myself – I was a winner on the fast lane. But then things did not turn out as planned. Due to the gambling, my life became more and more troubled. But suddenly everything made sense because the inevitable was bound to happen. The gambler fails because of his own thoughts on why he is gambling. It was for this precise reason that my life as a gambler was bound to fail from the very beginning. Unfortunately, many years passed until I made this bitter and yet most important realization. I became one of the most effective, authentic and successful counselors for gambling addicts because by means of targeted questions I reveal the gambler’s reality and simultaneously I propose a solution. This cannot always be done with a lot of sensitivity, but the truth is generally not easy to bear. The main thing is to accept, process, and learn from that. Positive events will not make you stronger, but negative ones will. You grow with experience and not with the memory of better times. Anyone who lives in the past, cannot start successfully into the future. Gamblers contact me and ask about when it is the right point in time to get out. – Now and on every following page: it is always the right time, but you must recognize it and adhere to it. At the same time, you need to learn that the adhering does not require as much strength as the letting go does. Look ahead and don’t look back. All you need to do now is to read and not to start gambling again. Because you have already stopped gambling. In fact, the only thing is that you must not start again. In the case of a fight, anguish, stress and the daily rat-race, you cannot just flee and gamble away money at a machine. No, you need to face reality and this is precisely what you need to learn. The fastest way is not always the best way. Sometimes we must overcome unpleasant things in order to then enjoy the good things in life.
