Odds of recovering after going $200K in the hole playing $10 VP?

Hi,
Back in January I deposited around $2K into my Betonline account. I'd played video poker before as we have taken trips to vegas and the Bahamas and found it interesting, though never won big. After making I believe a third deposit of around $2K, playing $10 JoB ($50 per hand), probably the worst thing happened, I hit a Royal for $40K.
Being smart for only a brief moment of this entire year, I withdrew the funds. A few days later I deposited back $5K of it to play Deuces WIld. That's when the other worse thing happened, I hit 4 deuces for $12.5K (this particular Betsoft game pays 250 credits) followed shortly after by another, turning the $5K into $25K.
At this point I'm up something like $55K. Long story short, I was a complete idiot and never stopped. This has resulted in a year from hell of course. The stress/panic, time loss, things missed, etc. I continued to play and make deposits all this year, for 10 months, going through the winning and losing streaks. Grand total I was in the hole $175K at Betonline, and also $30K from a trip to Vegas back in Feb, so $205K total.
A week ago today I was down to $500 from my last deposit. Thankfully in that 7 days I had a good run which includes 5 Royals. I probably played about one cycle worth in that time. Maybe fittingly today my last one was a dealt one. The total balance in my account is just under $204K.
To be clear, this isn't a brag post at all. It's embarrassing. Also maybe this will serve as some kind of insurance in case there is an issue getting the payouts lol. And I guess also a testament to the fairness of Betsoft's RNG.
Should I buy a lottery ticket? I did read on another site the odds of 5 RF in one cycle are less than 1%, so guess there's that. Either way, wouldn't be mad if I never play VP again in my life lol.

If you never want to play again in your life, quit. Get professional help for addiction if you can't quit on your own.

BS (BetSoft) has been known to have rigged slots. I suggest you not take my word for it and do your own research.Quote: TerriermikeAnd I guess also a testament to the fairness of Betsoft's RNG.
Whatever the case, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, it's my understanding that BOL only has one Betsoft video poker game with a max bet of $5.
Perhaps the Bonus Casino has more of a selection and bigger BS denominations; however, your money would be locked up until you finish your wagering requirements.
I guess the High-denomination BS video poker could be hidden among the slots.
Hopefully, you took screenshots. Always take screenshots of bigger hits in case there's a problem.
There have been problems with bigger cashouts. Here is one..

msutter "I reived an email today saying that there was a recent casino software issue and it unfortunately affected my account. Of course the issue has now been fixed and I'm free to play lol. They confiscated all of my winnings, but gave me $250 as a good gesture (Great Guys!)."
