Sleepwalking

Smokin_Aces

If you sleepwalk and you have an account with any gambling site, be sure to hide your laptop or you'll end up like me, a thousand euro down.

Woke up to find my paddy power account open and large bets made. Realized what was after happened so there's nothing I can do, but beware though.

The virtual financial market. Don't remember a single thing. It appears I had some wins but heavy losses. Feck it anyway.

Suppose man.

God I wish I knew.

Was there drink involved?

No man, rarely ever drink. Just so happens I was dreaming about money, say that's what triggered the sleep gamble.

I'd rather my money back than 10 million. Feel sick emotionally even thinking about it. Haven't been able to concentrate in college the last few days.

Yeah I'm sure man, it was opened when I woke up so I knew what had happened. Sucks donkey balls but there's nothing I can do other warn my fellow sleepwalker's. I'll win my money back someday somehow but for now, it's locked in case anything happens again

Dont worry you'll win it back

as for sleep walking i use to do it myself too, but not to your extreme.

Care to screenshot the bets? What kind of stakes would you usually be gambling?

In all seriousness you have my sympathy, it must be absolutely gutting.

Do you usually dabble in the financial markets or was that a first?

You should sell you story to some newspaper, try and recoup something from it :pac:

Ah sure I thought I'd grow out of it, used to set of the fire alarms by going out the emergency exit in boarding school few years ago. I'm a terror for the sleepwalking.

I closed the account after it happened, thought it was a wise decision at the time. Can I claim account statements from them? I tried opening it again but they said I'm not allowed to bet on Paddy Power under Responsible Gambling. Like I said, I will get my chance to win it back someday and I will.

That's what I usually do. I'm kinda good at it but would have great days and terrible days, but I would never bet the extreme amount I did in my sleep.

Haha that would be great. I'm dead broke now. Luckily my student grant should be coming in the next few weeks. So might check it out wherever I can sell my story.

The experience has led me to write a five minute script for my Film Production course on sleepwaking and gambling (with coke and hookers ) and Paddy Powers as the villian. Least something came out of it.
