    Default Nooo!! On 31/08 one player made me loose a looot!! Scam? (No)

    Yesterday, the last day of the month, a player ruined all the good work in august, winning like $10K...

    So sad, I was expecting to receive much more money...

    I know how frustrating it is to get a big loss on the last day of the month. It does suck and the big ones always seem to be at the end of the month. Hopefully you see big gains this month for it.

    Thank you Anthony,

    This is the first time this thing happens to me, and its very, very frustrating. You feel like... you were so close, you were like touching your comission, you were planing your month with that comission... and then, in just hours you see something that you canīt understand, why!? and why today!?... now have to wait another month hoping to get that money again.

    Nico, I know exactly how you feel buddy.

    Last year I actually had a friends birthday on the last day of the month and a group of us went out celebrating, as it was my best month ever by a long shot I went crazy and racked up a bar bill which makes me shudder. Woke up in the morning to find everything had been lost... with a massive hangover... and empty pockets.

    That day was in my worst 10 ever!

    Just keep going strong, this time in 3 months with some hard work your sites will be stronger than ever and you'll have forgotten this ever happened

    Thank you for sharing your experience. What a bad day you had!

    The worst thing I think is beeing sooo happy, telling some friends about your business or that you won some money with some sites... and then..., nothing! Itīs like... you feel kind of stupid...

    I've always been very superstitious with those kind of things! I never want to say anything or do anything that might jinx the outcome!! For example if a good team is playing a real bad team, I try to never say that the good team will win for sure because I might jinx the result! Crazy way of thinking I know...

    That really sucks... but don't worry, hopefully this month will be good for you (and even better).

    I guess all affiliates who work in the industry for more than 3 years have stories like this. I've learned this lesson a long time ago for example, so I'm planning my budget and starting to spend only when money are on my account.

    Exactly what I do nowadays, in fact I even refuse to tell anyone how much has come through until the 1st of the month, drives my girlfriend up the wall!

    Yeah that really sucks and I know how you feel. It has happened to me countless times, and my husband is a bit like Gabriel and also tells me not to jinx it by talking about it.
    You will more than likely find that this month will be a good month for you. If he or she is a traditional gambler they will more than likely put it all back and more.

    In my case it's more complicated, I remember I spent about 70% of my earnings between 1st and 10th, and I had a lot of chargebacks, and my earnings was removed. So, now I'm only spending when I have this earnings in my bank.

    Great news! I hope it stays there for you!

    Hopefully this ends up as a mega month, just don't plan what you'll spend it on until the end of the month this time

    Hello Nico,
    It happened to me before too. High Rollers are a blessing and sometimes a curse. Players do win, and sometimes they win huge amounts. Sometimes for affiliates it's like an emotional roller coaster. Maybe this month is going to be your best!

    Good story, I can relate to that.

    You'll find that quite often after a large win one month, you will be compensated and more, the next.

    I can second that. I am quite new in the affiliate scene, but I once had a player win €14 000 one month, and then he lost it all back the month after.
