Scottie, just a short addendum to kempey's post. Whilst it's entirely down to individual circumstances whether you speak to family about it, it's definitely best to speak to someone rather than keep it to yourself. We're still just gamblers at the end of the day, even if we like to think we're more intelligent or better informed than BetFred punters.
Whichever way you look at it, statistics prove that it can be a very dark road for the (mostly males) who lose large amounts of money on gambling, especially if you bottle it all up and don't speak to anyone. I lost £10k on BMR and £25k+ on Nuog (after being £20k up on Nuog and getting greedy). At that time the Nuog discussion board was very similar to here, some very well informed posters selling the dream. That ended in tears and I'm certainly not saying it's the case here as this appears a completely different outfit and much better investment indicators, however, I agree with Timbertrader that each individual should be left to make their own choices and not be influenced by posters on these boards, well intended or otherwise.
