Bitcoin Forum

In 2011, I went into gambling and I was trading in betonmarket, but I got disappointed after losing alot of money and those of my friends! Since then I have a serious fear about gambling and betting. But I have started developing interest again as it see that cryptocurrencies make gambling easy  and if I can control greed I can really make profit.

emotion and greed are the hardest enemies of gamblers.
if you ever give up in gambling and betting!
never come back before you can control your greed and your emotions.
because if not, the same thing will still happen to you
and will be very unfortunate if you fall back in gambling

I don't think you can control your greed each time you gamble because most of the time it will be out of control and only sometimes your able to control your greed and make some money. If you already gave up gambling due to huge losses then it is better don't come back to gambling again to make money instead try to invest the same money in some good altcoins to earn good profit in the long run.

i think every decision you make in your life is gambling.. so the whole life is based on your gambling... like pick a job or major it can make your life better or so much worse  ;D

Gambling taught me to take calculated risks and to be able to take odds and evaluate my chances and not foolishly and recklessly throw away money into something that i know would only lead to me betting again and putting me in debts

Gambling teaches you how to be bold in a situation full of risks. When you're gambling, there's this feeling of confidence you get that makes you decide what move to make. This move might not lead to the best results, but you'll get on with it just because you are filled with that momentum. It is through gambling that you'll learn how to be strategic and resourceful. Strategic in a way of making your bets and resourceful when things go wrong and you don't have anything to play with anymore. Lastly the best lesson gambling has taught me is to have self control. You should know when it's enough or you will be empty handed.

I really agree with you interms of profits you can make profit in gambling  but have a risk as you said you have an bad experience in gambling all your money put in the hole, and correct playing gambling using bitcoin can earn good good profits but be careful.

This should be real joke because in gambling you do not apply much of your logic and skills as only few games require those to used. While in real life if you are doing something definitely their would be something back on your mind and in order to fulfill those needs/desires etc you take action to reach towards that goal. So in comparing the life to gamble is unjustified according to me and I do not believe in it. Yes sometimes you can say may be possible in some decisions but that is very less.

Because of bitcoin,  I knew some part about gambling world and It was real experience that gambling will make people greed and more greed.
When I made profit, I felt awesome but if I loss, I felt sucks ! but I learnt something important that you must control your own greed !

I don't spend much time in gambling not because I don't like it but because I am afraid to lose every bitcoin I earn  just in case I am not lucky in gambling. Before I used to bet as a sort of pass time but when I lose my money I was really sad and disappointed I realize that I should not use the money not intend for gambling so that if ever I lose the game I won't regret much from then I only try gambling if I have extra money for I always make sure I keep my priorities

Better to avoid it even no matter how simple to gamble with cryptocurrencies, you do already experience the consequences in the past but well it your own choice though since its your money after all as long you do know your limits and dont commit the same mistake again. Control and discipline would really be needed this time if you really like to play.

i have to admit that since i know cryptocurrencies my gambling activities was so often because i can gamble everytime and everywhere as long as i have bitcoin or altcoin but i think gambling not provide positive impact or negative impact for my life because fortunate that i wasn't have any problem regarding this

Will,gambling is a part of entertainment or recreating yourself from stress in works,but being put you in debt and lost all your asset because of gambling games is not proper,thats why we control ourself in this situation.all of us we want to push our luck in winning of gambling games especially in cryptocurrencies gambling,but we must always put in our mind that if we lost thats the part of the games,and if the winning pot will favor on you,will its sound good to us,but the important is we control our gambling behavior.

If you don't want to live the same experience again then stay away from gambling. Cryptocurrency and fiat are the same, I don't know how crypto
can make gambling easier.
All gambling addicted say the same "I can control my self/ this time I will make profit".
It is your money but at least try to really control your self and when you start loosing just stop.

Gambling is pulling back on you again. This has been the same impact I got before when I can't stop to gamble and even how hard I try to forget and quit but still there's too much for me to get with gambling. But luckily now I'm through with it and I'm able to control it.

Gambling hasn't really a huge impact on my life since i don't consider it as my main distraction activity nor an income source . It's just one among many hobbies that i can get over without any problem . Gambling taught me patience tho , and especially that money comes and goes .

It's because of gambling i got to know about bitcoin. i have lost significant amount of coins by gambling though. the day i lost my final bitcoins, i decided to stop gambling and find other ways to make profit/money. i found good opportunities in altcoins. ;)

You should drop the this idea, you'll lose your money again.

Once you fall into the gambling, then it would be really difficult to control the greed of more profit. I would suggest you to play for entertainment and only if you can afford to loose the money. if you are diverting your living money into the gambling, then you should avoid the it. Because in the long run, you will loose the money and it will affect your daily life.

Too bad that there's no easy way to control your greed and that's how gambling made to your life by giving the idea that it can be a good source of profit. The impact of gambling in your life is really that high and I'm currently on a good state of mind and will never talk about gambling to be able to give me good profit. Just like others are saying, don't look at it that way.

Though i win some and lose some whiles gambling, i can positively say that gambling hasn't made any positive nor negative impact in my life and even though i have lost money, i haven't lost enough money for me to be in serious debt and once i wasn't i paused for a while.

one think I know is that gambling is life or life is a gamble. We sometimes try things to see if they would work. Gambling helps to control greed as you said earlier and to me it helps you to see every situation you see in life as normal. As a gambler, I know even if i lose no matter the value i will get it back in a certain way. Just needs time. That's how gambling helps me.

i bet like alot, im using all my time to gambling. actually i have no irl job, im a full time crypto worker. as long you can control it youll be fine, i mean when you gamble your greed take you but you can prevent that to happend when you gain profit you stop. but yeah sometimes i make mistake, just dont make that mistake again.

It goes to show thaty gambling isbn't  for you dude and the earlier you quit the better in order to loose hugely and then try to chase it later. I wouldn't advice anyone without a plan or adequate discipline to venture gambling because it is not something to joke with.

I haven't been into gambling that much. I know it was very risky and I'm not ready yet to regret. I have no extra fund for it. I need to have extra fund to bet in gambling because I know its only two results, to win or loss. Before I start it I must know how much am I willing to loss? It has a big impact to me and to everybody else because you might loss your money at once. On the other side it sounds so exciting if you will won also. Bottomline is you must bet within your means.

There's a lot i've learnt from gambling ans thats about the impact it has had on my life. It thought me discipline and self control. It taught me about money management and how to effectively grow my little investments, it even taught me how not to loose money stupidly as was my case in the past.

That's the same lie every addicted gambler says. None of us can control greed and thats because we love money and everytime you think you can stop you hear that little voice saying what if we're lucky and can get even more money, you cant say no to it so you gamble even more and get in more debt.
For me, i made that mistake before and it nearly destroyed my life, after learning from it and seeing what i did wrong, gambling became something i play for fun and i avoid getting emotional about it.

Now it helps me to be a better and responsible man, sometimes we need to loss to understand to value things. As I started gambling at young age, money is just a game for me but it change when i was financial debt because of addiction to it. So I need to learn to control myself and stop in times of winning, not to be greedy and be satisfied with a win even small. Think about your family every bet and you know that it works.

One of the most important lesson I got from gambling is , greed is going to destroy you if you can't control it, I used to gamble in a devastating way, when I win I want to win more, when I lose I want to win back, and the results I lost a lot of money, after huge lost I realize that I need to stop gambling, but it's not that easy to stop, so I limit myself and try to cut my gambling time and now I only gamble once in a while using a limited money, and I enjoyed my gambling

After I know bitcoin, I just know in bitcoin we can do gambling, after I try is very excited. But I must can control myself to prevent lose the more money.
For me gambling is for fun, not make more profit to replace main job. If you can control yourself for gambling is better !

that is sounds like a bullshit opinion lol , please be honest and realistic that overall gambling destroy your previous beautiful life instead provide you a positive impact. i do experienced a lot of things in gambling and nothing good affecting me.

just loss and more losses come after me , don't be naive , life through gambling was not that easy.

But the gamble being talked about here is not life, but a game that requires you to bet money to play, which will give you a profit if you win and will waste your money if you lose. So what you say is off track. The gambling effects in question are like keeping you in control of yourself, managing money better etc.

Well i am not sure if you can get constant profit from gambling because the problem on gambling games is on the analysis to prediction, there are no valid analysis on it, the gambling games is more good for entertainment than becomed main source of the money in digital coins, will be better to getting constant profit from trading alternative coins, mining or investing in the ICOs. They are good source of digital than gambling games at least it is my experience.

yes it is true...ones it started you cannot control your urge to gamble again hoping to recover what was lost but then end up a loser just the same...unless you are lucky enough to win...

i have story like yours since i start to play gambling here in crypto and it so easy here not like in real world,In real life we play gambling like poker,basketball and billiards and it also good to play like if you win "SOMETIME" but here in crypto is different because the opponent here is yourself only,you can win here but it's pure luck only so i say it so hard to win gambling here but it so easy here to play.In real life you can win by strategy and ability,In crypto you can win by strategy only and pure luck because it not base in ability but they same gambling

I am gambling regularly but only with some of my extra cash and even if I will be playing at crypto based casino I try to calculate my total loss or winning in fiat so that I can always limit my losses in fiat rather than in bitcoin.

Crypto based casino is easier and secure than most of the other fiat based casino with confusing verification procedures and document requirements.

Why do you think that gambling has to destroy every single life?
I've lost lots of money and it didn't destroy my life nor it has significant impact on it.
Only thing I have learned is that holding bitcoin is always better idea.

I disagree. It can only be out of your control if you cannot control it, but as far as I am concerned, this is something that you should be able to control all by yourself and the only way is to be disciplined. Anyone who is naturally greedy about everything in life are the set of people that usually get addicted in gambling as they cannot really control that strong greed impulse that comes with gambling.

Not a single impact and the truth is that except when you are seeing it as fun and decide not to get too emotional about losses, then there is no way gambling can really make any sense.

We spend money to watch movies, eat junks, have some fun and that is just the way I see gambling, and except that I am having fun and an adrenaline rush at the same time, then I would say the only impact is that I could have been richer now if I had save all that money I have lost in BTC, but all the same, no regrets!

I've been down in debt before and at there was even a time where I even stole from my mom just to play. I was at my peak of my addiction at that time and I'm not contented with what I've won or have. I strive for more even I already gamble more than I could even afford. I was struggling to pay my debt and for my addiction, but when I already maxed out my savings I started to lose everything my apartment, friends, and my career was also at risk. So I decided to change, It was really hard to resists but it needs to be done.

It was a really hard process but in those moments, I learned how to control my emotions and my self. Now that I have a wife and kids, I'm much cautious in spending and I do value our money. Greed is really a pain in the ass but we can't deny the fact that we are born greedy. I'd make sure that I won't let greed take over.

I don't think gambling will not do good impact to our life. No matter how much wins we could have, we will still end up losing everything we have hardly earned.

It's more fun to gamble in crypto casino, you can easily bet and the deposit and withdrawal is very fast, I think there is no problem if we will always stay discipline but if you don't you might easily lose a long of money because when you chase you can do it fast. I am a gambler and I admit that, I am not profitable but I learn a lot of lessons in gambling so I will not gonna stop it because now I got matured and I spend based on budget only.

Of course when lose comes i feel so down, always think of my money, some of my works i cant do accordingly simply i feel bullshit, gambling brings negative in my life that is why quickly removed it to my entire life and do not want to gamble again but i get many learning in gambling also it brings happiness when my feeling is not good.
For now i am focus on trading because this is the method i know that will helps me to be rich in the future.

The most significant impact is, I am now so like to sleep midnight. It made me lazy to work tomorrow. More passion to join the gambling table, and bet there.

I want to give you advice, you said you wanna play gambling becasue only make profit, then i clear you that you can't make profit from gambling. Why you think that gambling give you profit, even gambling is not made for give the profit to people or gamblers. It only give us winning money and you win only when you are lucky once. Otherwise try your luck to play games and see the end. But change your thinking and play gambling for only enjoyment and secondly if you have little capital then don't try to take a big risk in gambling.   

The above statement shows that gambling has a negative impact on you because instead of considering the gaming for fun during weekends you have started to feel lazy to go to work and instead want to go to casinos to play. I hope you do not get addicted because the signs have started to show and if you can't control now then it will be difficult for you to come out of this space.

I do not spend much on gambling it is because in my gambling history i haven't experience winning, at first I win but as the game continue I only end up losing every money I have maybe because I was not good on it and also I'd like to believe that money not intend for gambling should not be use like those that are intend for important things otherwise you will only lose them and regret at the end.

Gambling help me spot the best friends that help me when i'm in the gambling troubles. They helped me a lot.

Due to gambling, I lost big amounts of BTC last year and that made me realize that I should stop being like a degenerate gambler and I should be the opposite one. It made me realize that I should gamble just for entertainment and not for the profit. It changed my way of thinking towards gambling and I became distant to it. I explored different avenues to keep my self busy and it provided me additional activities outside gambling that helped me a lot in various ways.

I'm afraid that you need some help then. It sounds that you're addicted to gambling if you can't stop thinking about it... It is even worse as thoughts about gambling makes you lazy as you can't wait till you can gamble againm just ask your family or your friends that you trust to help you of even save your money. This forum has plenty of posts about gambling addiction, check them out for advices.

A person who does gambling everytime surely has one thing in mind and that is easy money to earn and to lose but they are more into winnings somehow gambling contributes to the way people thinks many become positive while playing and keep thinking that at the end of their rounds they will end up taking the jackpot prize but on the other hand those who keeps loosing will have the chance to become addictive because they want to get back whatever they lose not realizing they just getting loosing a much higher amount

Gambling actually give me the motivation for earning the money to pay the debt. It's really sad story.

Wont you consider those people as an addictive person who do strive to take the jackpot prize? I dont think so. I would consider the same thing that they do have the addiction too. Losing or winning as long gambling being played for daily basis or how many hours on a single day on a particular week would be considered as one. No matter what is their personal reasons but one thing would be common which is to win money.

Well as for me, I started gambling not quite long and so far is like it pays well because I made five win out of seven game though small amount that I bet. How I wish it will continue the way things are currently going in my favour, so I cannot say whether it has impacted or course much havoc in my life at the moment. Gambling is a game of either you lose or win, so be careful of the amount of money you use in gambling.  

I used to play so much with my bitcoin before when bitcoin still used to trade below $1k per coin and I think I have lost more than 1BTC within few months in both gambling and sports betting. I have also won some big amounts but eventually I lost all of them.

These days, I only gamble or play in casino with play money or in demo modes so that I can enjoy games without getting greedy for huge profit and without getting tempered with loss.

Bitcoin gambling makes me realized that saving is really essential instead of dealing with this type of activity, I lose some btc before and
if I recall how much it was then I ask myself what if i save it instead, but thanks because of that experience I can handle now my emotions
and I start to value my btc.

not every single life , that is only your understanding. what i mean are that a lot of people suffering in lost and get broke also depressed because of gambling rather than who think it is just normal or even make them in better situation.

a lot of people have given the testimonials about gambling , mostly disappointed and full of regret, that is the fact.

Well, there is some impact somehow.  It enable me to move forward on the next week refreshed.  With it as stress remover, I am able to function in my daily activities in a 100% conditioned mind and body.  I am able to do my work effectively since may motivation is refreshed and all the stress and strain of last weeks activities had been washed out after playing and enjoying my weekedn session of moderated gambling in some particular Casino.  It sure great to meet up with friends and play with or against them in some card game.

The same as mine, I was too lazy to go to work because what I wanted to do is just to gamble all the time. But that is before, I learned from that thing that my most important thing is being affected because of gambling. There are times that it has also impacted my life in a positive way but many times with negative but still I'm taking the risk.

Yeah bad impacts mostly hits people rather than the good one. Gambling are dangerous when you have no control over your greedy. It's destructive especially if you didn't responsible in gambling, no doubt you would end badly with a lot of debts left.

Not a bad one as I set a bankroll, sometimes weekly and sometimes monthly and this is only money I can afford to lose. I only play soccer bets and I do a lot of reading during the day to analyze the game to the best of my possibility. Sometimes I end up with -ve bankroll but most of the time after a month I end up with positive bankroll. Nevertheless to have a normal life and to not have bad impact from gambling remember the golden rule, only bet money you can afford to lose, otherwise your life will be impacted in a bad way by gambling.

I hope the best friends are there to get you out when you are going wrong and not doing the otherwise. Gambling is a world of its own and if you find yourself lost in that world, it is always hard to come out. It really does not have much positive impact except negative ones if you really allow it to take control of you rather than you taking control of it.

When I read your title I thought you wanted to know impact that gambling has on people's life, then you narrate your story which I feel is sad and stupid, it's basic gambling rule, never to gamble with friend's money it can have its consequences. Now coming to your part, is it wise to gamble back, I would say yes, but with your own money and in limits, and playing with crypto currency is really easy, click on my signature and play at one of the best casino. Good luck and be safe this time.

But I would consider some part of life's own as good gambling.
You are right though, this is a life that no one knows tomorrow and we keep doing things believing that we get the best out of it. While some will do the same thing and get the best result, some will and then get the worst result. It is just how it is and even in every investment, the same situation applies and we just always wish for the best.

Choosing a job is not a gamble. There are many make sense factors that we can learn and usually will be determined by how many efforts we did to make our job get the best results Choosing and doing a job does not depend on luck.

Theres a big impact of playing gambling and if you're about to win big prizes since gambling is the easiest way to  earn bitcoin as if you can continue to win then you will earn lots of money and then save them and ofcourse you will get business there and money to join trading and big investments in ico where to about while waiting you will get another income

Exactly, job has no link with gambling. I think he belong job with gambling becasue of risk. Otherwise gambling is total different thing, even i never compare gambling with trading, becasue mostly people say that gambling seem like trading. Gambling is only gambling. Risk wise we will think that becasue gambling have more risk than others, Then gambling give the impact on our life.  

It had a great impact in my life and it did change me as a person too. I actually started with bitcoin through gambling first and it made me a better trader and as an individual. My patience had been tested through gambling through my winnings and losses.

It was an unpleasant experience for sure. I've experienced as you told me, I once felt a fall and my life was destroyed because I chose gambling as a job. For me that you should not choose gambling as a top choice because gambling is a risky thing. I think you should be able to choose other things to invest and make gambling as an entertainment, it will help you to avoid bad things happen. So do not take the risk and you will be able to save the life of the family that you love.

Yes, crypto currencies make gambling easy and also if we play it seriously then in it we have no chance to big lost. But our greedy always give us lose and it is right if we control our greedy then we can control our lose but profit you can make it only when you have luck, otherwise play gambling with crypto currency and check your luck.       

It's easy to lose money gambling in USD. If you gamble in Bitcoin and are -EV even AFTER Bitcoin's over +1000% ROI/year, give it up...

Very rare and gold this never happened to me and I hope one day that I'll find my best friends and the real ones when it comes to my falling down even it's about gambling or not.

Impact of gambling in my life is not that different with others, spending most of my time into my bets and keep on thinking about them.

I even forget those important things that I need to do and my work also is affected during those times that I can't control myself.

It as easy to lose money gambling in Bitcoin as it is in USD, doesn't matter.
A problem gambler will always find ways to spend his last few coins, you can't make a ROI if you have nothing left at the end of the day.

I'm willing to bet that there are people who buy Bitcoin just to gamble all of it, they're definitely not profiting from Bitcoin.
Heck they might even choose Bitcoin to gamble with because it's not regulated.

Well i tried my luck wit hgambling many times and i was successfull, but at the end i think that it is not worth the risk, see what gambling hade on my life was not bad, i did not go on a losing streak and get money from anyone to pay for it, i did not get addicted like most people, i saw what gambling could do to a man, see at one time i ve putt all i had from bitcoin on a fotball match, and i bet on the team that is wining on the last few minitues of the game hoping that i will win as the odds were with me, but just as i sent the transaction the other team scored and it was a tie, and at that moment i saw the money that i have worked hard for for a year fly away, but thank god because it turned out that the transaction was not fast enough and the betting closed just bfore it reached so it was sent back, and at that moment i decied never to gamble again, because it is not worth risking moeny for.

That was a close call which would really affect you too much if those bet have completely go through. When we are talking gambling results would really be not always give an assurance to ourselves that we would able to win the game.We might say that we arent addicted or whatsoever but we cant escape the fact that gambling cant really affect someones life on positive way but only this thing is just really meant for entertainment this is why risking too big wont really be worth of no matter how good is the bet is.

I would have to agree on that.  There is no denying that gambling bring so much fun especially if we are playing with our friends.  Aside from that playing in a landbased Casino defnitely gives us opportunity to meet new people and be friended with them.  This is one positive impact of gambling to my life.  Knowing new friends and enjoying the time spent with them by playing gambling games.  I think as long as a person is in control, the only impact gambling can give is positive thing.

I am not totally fan of gambling, i only do this if i am looking for entertainment, i know that if i will be addicted in gambling my money will be in danger we all know that gambling is not profitable most of the player ended of lossing their money i do not hear people get rich because of gambling, most of the statement i read is their family was affected because of this method.

You seem to choose to focus on other businesses and consider gambling as entertainment, but if you try to focus on earning a short time then please learn a quick analysis in gambling.

gambling is not determined by luck because direct analysis can be seen on the emotional level of the opponent or player's condition. So gambling also has their version of fundamentalism. If you can master it, I think it will change your life more interesting because the source of income becomes varied.

Well when I was younger and used to gamble a lot online, I made a couple of bucks by running Poker cash games at micro tables, because the game isn't against the house.... won't commend to play against the house as they will win in long-short.

It made me realize that I will just be wasting my time and money if I will do gambling. Well i guess, it made me think to invest more into bitcoin than to spend it in gambling.

the big impact that gambling makes in my life is I want to play the games without stop for a while but then I realize if I continue to playing gambling, I can lose all of my money and I can regret this. and fortunately, I can stop in that time and then I can leave the gambling site. but then I am thinking that I don't have any chance in gambling games so I'd better play when I want and only spend small money from the faucet.

I don't think gambling will have good effects to us. Better put my money on investment, and my time for campaigns and bounty. Don't waste your hard earned cash for that.

Well for me, I learned the value of money. I never did save money before I started gambling. I usually just overspend and roll over the extra expense onto the other month's salary or allowance. Though when I lost shit tons of money on gambling, I learned that money is something so hard to earn and it should not be wasted in things that aren't important.

Dont put all your time into bounties and campaigns. Learn trading - its one of the biggest methods to earn in crypto market. Also talking about gambling - have you tried EV+ games? They can give the player an advantage but its also based on luck so no guarantee that one will win the game after betting.

But I prefer it over dice because in dice it just hit and bust. While in sports betting and all you can analyze the teams and decide on whom to bet. You might also get some info about fixed matches if you happen to be friends with the players.

Losing is winning were defenitely part of the game, we don't know what will happen in any bet we were going to do, as long as we know our limits and enjoys it then it'll be fine, no major impact for me, maybe to those who take it seriously, it have a big impact on them.

I lost roughly $2000 in online gambling once. Almost lost my mind there, but I'm ultimately glad to have experienced it and now my mind is clear enough to focus on important things in life.

Emotion and greed are the hardest enemies of gamblers.
Thats someone said up there  ;D

Thats always happened to me over and over,
big enemy from inside and kill us from inside without any warning,
becarefull folks, its happen to most all of us LOL.

Hard earned or easily earned money is both valuable and it needed to be spend wisely or else you'll just leave emptied pocket.
Literally, I don't see any good impact of gambling especially when you got addicted to it and it'll just ruin your life. But one thing is certain that in gambling you'll learn the golden rule of life and you surely see things differently from that day forward.

I have so much learn and to think about what I have done wrong when I am on the gambling. I've learn so much what the value of money when iam lossing it from the time when iam on that place. I've learn so much for me to think about it all. And I know what's my life going through. And learn to make my life complete without it (gambling).

Apparently, everyone does but you just would not allow it to take the better part of you. The truth is that gambling can really make you to learn how to control some crazy impulse in your life, know how to set limitations for yourself and discipline yourself to stick with it and then see the world itself as a world of gambling and trying to take every opportunity that comes your way. Although, all these can only have impact in your life if you really want it to.

Sports betting seems a lot easier than the dice, I think in sports betting you have a broad options list to choose your best. But it doesn't mean that I am advising gambling to you. In my opinion trading can give you more money but trading is a bit conditional as compare to gambling. In trading you need to be vigilant enough to identify the right thing at the right time, sometimes people couldn't carry it the required way and the repercussions are ultimate loses.

First I started like time pass only and once in three months and later two months once and every month now every Sundays it become part of my life I not spend much but I make some provision for gambling. This is the impact has gambling make in my life Which not hurt anyone in my family and I am more cautious in this so that I should not addicted and do take wrong steps in gambling to loose all. Everything is should be in control.

Actually, gambling is a way to get out from the routine and make me supporting and watching my favourite sport.
scientifically speaking, winning in gambling can increase the rate of adrenaline and dopamine in your body which can make you feel happy and relaxed.
That is why we love to gamble because it get us away from daily life problems.

That's what we should maintain, everything should be in control to ensure that it will not ruin our life and we will maintain the fun.
Gambling could give us fun or could give us a miserable life and that is depending on how we handle things, also in control is necessary as that is the only way to minimize if we cannot eliminate the risk, focus more on the fun and not on the big reward.

In my day to day basis with work, I start seeing gambling as an opportunity to earn more and have more money knowing that if I win a certain bet, it would make me richer. That is the impact that I have created in my mind and it made me somewhat more a risk taker and it has given me more opportunities with my life.

Exactly!
The only thing that kills a good gambler is been greedy and full of emotion.
In gambling, not everyday is a winning day.
Sometimes, you keep on wining, other times you loss,  its that time that a gambler should learn to caution him/herself.
Especially in the greedy aspect; If not, he/ she will end up losing all that they had gain.
In gambling, we should also learn when to stop and also when to start.

My grandfather was an addicted gambling so ever since I was a little child, I was warned to not do gambling because my grandfather died and then my grandmother had to pay for all the debts that he had because of gambling. Technically, she doesn't really have to pay because it's in the law that the debts are gone when the person has died but I guess people don't really sew back then. I'm sorry to spoil y'all with my story but gambling doesn't really have any impact in my life because we were trained ever since to not gamble. Whenever we are playing with cards, even though there's no money involved, our father gets really mad. There's a time when he even burnt the cards just so we couldn't play.

Little do they know that we will still be gambling at some point. But since we never had the chance to get used to it or since we never really seek that feeling of thrill that gambling has to offer, we were never inclined to be addicted to it.

You do realize as well that winning isn't guranteed so what you think your opportunity to get rich may very well be the reason you get broke? Gambling it seems are placed in high regards for you but that's how most addicted gamblers start, by seeing gambling as a good opportunity to get rich

Gambling may seem wrong to many people, they consider it as a sin that have no benifits. It's just a waste of money. I believe that's wrong. I personally learned so much from gambling. I learned patience which is the most important thing. A good gambler needs to be patient and that's what i learned. I became more patient about everything in my life not only gambling.
Gamblinh tought me how to manage my money. Being a gambler means that you are going to spend money, but you will make profits. You need to know how to manage your gains and losses.
Gambling is game. If you get addicted you will end up wrecking your life, but, if you know how to do it, it can teach you lots of lessons that will help you in your life.

the impact on gambling in my life is it makes me to be more greedy and not contented on what i currently have. although i still have a control on it and now ive been slowly forgot to do gamble due to the fact that im kinda busy now when compared to the past days of my life. but overall gambling is not actually a bad thing to do , as long as you have a self control and know how to control your emotions and descisions in life.

It is wrong thinking because gambling is not for making your rich but if you make a small mistake also it will make you poor very fast. So don't consider gambling to become rick or making money option instead invest your money in some good altcoins to grow it faster. Gambling is only for having fun and for that we need to spend some money and if your very lucky then only can make some profit.

If you are lucky enough then you could get rich in gambling but i think it is only one shot. Mostly of the people said that if you win easily the winnings will be gone easily too. Though if you are really into gambling so that you could be rich well i think it will lead you to addiction that leads to lot of debts and loan because you want to win back your losses unless you can manage your emotions on lossing a lot.

I agree with you, I think this may be one of the greatest impact of gambling in a persons life. We must nake sure that we will be able to control this emotions in order to make our lives stable despite playing in it.

Yeah, all about gambling depends on luck.
Many people say that luck has nothing to do anything with winning and losing in gambling but luck has a great impact I gambling. Many people gamble in different things like you mentioned here, cards, dice, and in sports.

I have learnt from gambling that it is the site in my life which has given me a chance to save my money and to earn money from the real sites and not from gambling because gambling does give any money.

I think it is suicidal to learn emotional control while playing a gamble because if you are not lucky it could land you where you'd never wish; that's addiction since you are emotionally immature and might make mistakes but, if you learn to control your emotions well in advance before you indulge in gambling then i think you stand a great chance of doing well in gambling and not the other way around.

You wont still able to control it specially you are not still experiencing on the scenarios that you would possibly met on playing gambling for sure you would really meet up scenarios that you didnt even expect for it to happen which means first time on things will really give some impact specially on your emotions because we cant really say that we can able to control it if we didnt still able to experience it.

The great impact gambling has brought in my life is regularity, because I was very lazy and most of the time I went to sleep at any time of the day or night. And the second thing is that gambling gave me the chance to make money online without any struggle.

I love gambling. It is my passion. It has changed my life completely and now i am living happily with my family. Gambling is not good but for me it is very profitable.

Gambling is the most fun activity that i do to get away from stress and problems. Many people think that gambling is totally wrong. I believe that it has positive impact on our lives. It can teach us things. Patience is one of the things that gambling can teach you. As a gambler, you need to be patient,wait for the right moment and ignore all temptations. It can teach us how to manage our funds too. Gambling can have a good impact on our lives.

Imo, only few people who able to get some lesson from gambling especially if we talk about patience. Most gamblers are in a hurry to get easy money. Gambling for some people is a way to get money with little efforts.

When I start gambling I won lots of money but as you know that gambler winning is just for the time being and the same happened with me. I lost all the winnings but soon I realized that gambling is overall not good and I may lose all my money, therefore I quit gambling at once. Now I feel happy no to gamble anymore. So there is no too much impact in life due to gambling. Now I only make money in bitcoin trading and investment, which is the most secure way of earning money.

That is why when they loose, it impacts their pockets negatively and they are bankrupt. Many lessons can be learnt from our losses also and not only when we are winning. I am an example of those who have learned to manage my finances because of my gambling losses in the past.

Yeah the same story is of every gambler. I have never heard that a gambler has won a lot of money and now he is living a happy life. Always he lose all his own money. The reason is that when you earn you will spend very carefully and when you win you will spend in unnecessary places and mostly in the same place like in casinos. I gamble only once in my entire life and then never gamble again.

Do you really think this gambling is only for fun? If your answer is yes, then definitely I have some reservations. Things are not like that are being shown here. Gambling can never be a source of fun or entertainment. Do you really think one person is just getting entertainment and losing his money too?
Will that be entertainment to lose your hard-earned money so easily?

It's only fun with you because you're not serious with it. I knew people that earn money from it for living with a really discipline rules for themself. So anything could be happened.

It can teach you one thing that being greedy will get you nowhere and only leads to a black hole. The way to make money is to work for it and not let your luck earn it for you. Gambling should be done for entertainment and not with the purpose of making money. You might make money but that is not what gambling is for. Its actually the fees you pay the dealer to entertain you.

Gambling had impacted me a lot specifically in making decision. I now look at things logically and avoid getting emotional about various stuff, i don't know if it's a good trait or a bad one but it has helped me through hard situations.

Making it as a source of income is the main mistake of some people because they do believe that this thing can really be attained by just playing gambling without even thinking that they are just like putting up a gun into their head regarding on the decisions that they would made. As being said this is really intended for entertainment purposes not on making it as a job.

I think that gambling has no positive impact in life. Not unless if you have won millions of dollars through it. It can change your life completely. However, this happens often. Most of the times, people who are addicted in gambling end up losing all their money and properties because of gambling addiction and because of their belief that they can hit the jackpot.

It does can change the way of your thinking and the way of your living but it can also affect your life if you don't handle it well.

one of the keys to being able to control gambling,
is to think gambling is fun and that will allow you to benefit from every gambling.
and though you can make gambling the main job

Gambling has really big impact in our life. But it depends only to the person if how they handle their self in gambling. We know gambling is really addicted. But in my opinion gambling can gives enjoyment and gives relaxation. The impacts of gambling in my life is become wise to spend money and know to control self. When we gamble we don't think what are the impacts of gambling in our life the important is we played just for fun and to earn easy money.

 I don't gamble much these days. I'm trying my best to save money. If I start gambling again I'll probably lose too much like before.

I tend to "go for broke" so to speak. And that is what usually happens. :o


You don't say? :D

It hasn't affected my life yet, maybe a few years ago when i used to gamble a lot it was a good source to lose money, but not anymore...

I dont like gambling at the moment, i am just using it to relax myself a little bit when i am tired. I like to play a poker session with friends and probably nothing more than that.

Maybe some bets about football games and basketball. But obviously that i am never going to gamble more than $20 - $50 per bet, it is obvious.

I have always been curious about those guys who are always gambling their whole wage.

Gambling is my escape from reality. The impact of the gamble is not connected with my life. Gambling is my entertainment in the free time and my betting without wish for the profit is not affecting my life. My life would be the same without my betting. There is something that casinos are providing me and that is the relief of my stress. I couldn't call that an impact. I can call that the crucial connection with my mind causing the release of my stress that I have accumulated through the day. My stress is thrown down the minute I have stepped into the gambling rooms.

i started gambling as my way to release my stress and it turn out to addiction i can't control myself playing and the impact was so bad or worst there were times that i lend money from my friends and family just to gamble but one day i realize that this is not good anymore i started to control myself i started to stay away from people who influence me in gambling.. i don't say that i don't gamble today i just learned when to stop when it's not good anymore.

It has given me financial freedom. Gambling with BTC since 2014. Bet at a Bitcoin only sportsbook. LOL! You lose, but BTC moons...

Although in gambling i admit that the majority of my games are losing but i don't have any regret about that and it makes me to understand that no matter if you may win or lose just set your self to the limit just enough amount that you can handle to loose. Being into gambling makes me a better risk taker and always do how to calculate risk because i accept the reality that gambling doesn't earn me a lot of profit but it makes me feel so good and entertained.

Investing in bitcoin gives me financial freedom but gambling did not, it's my way of having fun and honestly I lose money in gambling because I am not really good at it, but I cannot help myself but still gambling despite knowing I am not consistent. What makes me enjoy gambling is that I only bet based on the limit, I never gamble beyond because I know it will destroy my focus.

Nice thread.

I've started to gamble in August 2016. Before that I didn't know shit about cryptocurrencies and thanks to gambling (with BTC etc.) I joined the crypto world. Long story short: I've made a lot of profit with gambling, trading and investing in BTC and alts. Weird to say, but gambling has changed my life in a good way.

Good for you that thinking the good thing to do I mean you realize earlier before being addict of it, I think there's an expert in gambling but there's no good enough to play with it that being win consistently in every game you play. In fact as far as I know gambling is all about wasting your money which you could only getting fun in the first action but regreting in the last because you lose. But If you wish to win a huge prize in gambling then you must wait for your lucky when it will come out to your life.

Do gambling when need money fast hahaha
Gamble at Dota 2 (E-sport), Sometimes when i need new skins for my dota 2 account i do gamble with skins too. So i don't need to spend money for new skins

You must be one of those lucky people who get lucky at gambling. But I highly doubt this to be true. Have you got any proofs to back up these claims?

If you made such much money in gambling and trading and investing you dont need to be in this forum at all. You should be driving a lambo and enjoying the millionaire life. Why come to this shitposter plagued forum at all?

Or are you just bluffing?

That's good if you think gambling has no bad impact directly into your life, and even give you a real entertainment in it. Actually gambling supposed to be like that, you do enjoy and profit just an extra, don't get hooked after you have got a winning, just be grateful and quit to start it again later.

Gambling gave me a big lesson. There is no easy money in this world .

What I mean is that thanks to gambling i went into the cryptoworld on a very good time. So in a way it did change my life in a good way, because I started there and bought a shitload of LTC last year for example. With gambling itself I sometimes win and sometimes I lose, but I do enjoy it and gamble what I can afford. Today for example I won 0.29 BTC on a lottery with only 0.0077 worth of tickets.
Millionaire? I wish! I'm not there yet. I doubt if I'll ever get there :P

And I love this forum, because I can learn more here.

Bitcoin may change the whole life of a person either in up side or down side which will be based on the luckiness of that person.Gambling can make a person billionaire in a single day and it will also make a billionaire into beggar in some days. ;D

If you want to  know what is your status of luck then try a betting game with big amount of money.

Never try any betting game with any amount, that is foolish and I don't recommend that to anyone, that is just luck and in most cases you will lose your bet amount. In gambling you need to use your brain, and only then you can make something more  in gambling.
If you wish to win a lot then you need to gamble with big amounts, any other way is luck game luck lottery where you expect to win huge with some minimal bet amount.
Gambling have impact in my life cause its something that I like to do, I spend my free time to gamble and when I win a lot that can make my life much easier.

Someone should be open minded with that because in the long run, it would just be you who would take care of yourself. I don't think you could be a beggar in gambling, maybe super broke. People who earn that kind of cash would have some investments that could come back with him when he needs it the most.

I think we would all agree that gambling taught us when to give up, if you still haven't learned this you're either a newbie or a retard (atleast in my opinion)
I am in an overall profit through sports betting and poker.
I gamble for fun, i am proud to say i am not addicted to it, for me gambling is like a leisure activity, people go and spend money at bars, hotels and even strip clubs, i just tend to spend some of my money in gambling. I know when to stop and how much to spend.
Also, poker taught me a thing or two about people and their behavior.


There are people who are too late in realizing this, i am just glad you did in the right time. It's never too late.
Also, never gamble with the money you owe someone, NEVER!

It's not really when to give up, its probably more on when to stop playing and cash out your profits or forgo those losses. Giving up means completely stopping and not really coming back. Gambling is indeed some hard to do. A lot of people get addicted to the thought that they could win big amounts of money. Not thinking that they could equally lose the same amount of money or even greater.

In my opinion, if people are working hard they gonna earn much more than they earn from gambling. Just because gambling things are too dangerous and it could push people to the edge at anytime.

For those who really aiming to learn how gambling will work with them must needed to study deeper, gambling is really addicted and it can worsen our life but knowing and understanding your capability I think it can help you to take advantage, gambling can also be fun and profitable if you will be able to know where to find your edge.

Good for past time and i experience a lot of fun,i think even it's risky you will still play gambling here and for me you need to learn knowledge in anything in crypto because you can use it when you try to join in some open campaigns here and for good profit.Here in crypto is more conveniece to play than in real life so that's the impact of gambling in life that can brings to any users.

Really depends on the personality of every gamblers on how they treat gambling. Personally, Gambling gives me so much fun and gambling makes me more responsible in terms of handling money. Basically gambling is really an addicted game specially when you can't control your emotion, so better to stay away from gambling if you can't control yourself.

Gambling makes me happy because I spend my time doing fun, especially when l won in gambling. Gambling makes me addict if l got won, l used to go back to win again. Gambling makes me comfort everytime I  win in the game.

The problem is when gambling makes you do crazy and non sense things, crossed the limit and provide you a bad experience.
I do believe mostly feel gambling has more negative impact ratger than the positive one.
That's based on people around me , yeaaa they did not experience good things at the end of their career on gamble.

Then you must be a happy gambler. But it is right when we win the bet then we make more greedy and on the spot we want to more win, we can't satisfied with our winning, and again want to win but it is a sign of addiction. So be-careful you look like addicted gamble, only valid to do big bet.

Gambling is fun and that makes me happy too when I'm spending my spare time to do nothing and I'm choosing to gamble.  The impact of gambling with our lives are different, there are gamblers that are starting to become addicted and can't move on with their winnings because they are deciding that they'll become luckier if they'll push and that's the impact of gambling in their lives.

Luck is the most important factor in gambling. People who are lucky enough make a lot of money in gambling and vice versa. It’s damn true that if you can win money in gambling easily, you can also lose all of the money in it because the greed for more money never allows a gambler to quit gambling and he crosses all the limits which he had set for himself. I have seen gamblers who play with their debts when all the savings are lost.

We cant really influence our luck so what’s the point of having it or even knowing you have previously been super lucky. Problem is that luck is not always the same so maybe next time you won’t be as lucky as before. I guess gambling is that way. There is really nothing we can do about our luck, so the best thing is not to count on it. It is not like an RPG game where you can increase your luck attribute.

Yup I have seen documentaries in the past were people who are winning easily and fast due to gambling always ends up spending it to things without any purpose and sometimes ends up spending back all their winning to gambling again, it is really a bad habit for people to do something like that as you are not breaking yourself out of your habit which is not improving your life. Sometimes all they need is a wake up call in order for them to see that what they are doing is wrong, but that wake up call will always vary from person to person.

I don’t see any impact of gambling in my life because I just gamble occasionally. But every time I gamble it gives me so much pleasure. Personally I witnessed the life of many people who are now addict in gambling but I feel sorry for them because they failed to control their emotion which is very important.

If you are not one of those people who has once been addicted to gambling and left then you wont understand the difference. For most people who are potential gambler they end up getting addicted and playing until they are in debt.

For those who learn that gambling is a waste of time and money - they will know these lessons which include not being greedy and not to fall for greed and temptations. Controlling your urge to play is important otherwise you will also end up broke.

Correct gambling had give addiction to the people, in my opinion with regards to my experience, gambling wad give you enjoyment on the first place. But when times come if you feel lucky and won high amount, you will become greedy because you want to earn more amount.

As of now, I still continue playing gambling because I can't stop it, since I was enjoy playing games. But for now my amount used in playing was limited because I don't want to lose it all in the future.

I became astounded and shocked when I read your comment in which you agreed that every decision taken in life is gambling. If this is true, then how would you prove that? I think you want to say that if I go to washroom, I went for gambling. Is this what you want to say to us and you think that we are going to believe. It’s hundred percent wrong because not from every decision taken in your life, you get profits and your reputation is not ruined in front of all after taking a decision but these things happen in gambling.

Gambling has allowed me to earn while entertaining myself. In this world where you can be easily exhausted and filled up with so much work load, you need an outlet just to relax and live a little. Through gambling, I am able to give time to myself and if I am lucky I earn a little which aids me in my day to day life since I am still a student and I don't have a day job yet. Although I don't do gambling regularly, it is somewhat a reward for me to be able to do so and if I win, that's a lot of bonuses for me.

To be able to do gambling game then we must be prosecuted to be able to control greed. But in my opinion it would be difficult to do, playing gambling is too risky especially when we consider gambling as an income. I always consider gambling as an entertainment, so all this time I can avoid greed and also addiction. For some people who are not ready in my opinion do not ever try to play any gambling reason. It will avoid us from bad lives and futures that may end in horrible results.

Actually doing gambling has a huge impact in my life. Especially when I loose the game. Bacause it giving me a lesson in life. And one of it is to learn to control my emotion, cause most of the it turn to a big loss. Second, is the eagerness to earn more, sometime when we won . We keep on playing again and then we encounter a big loss. We experience all of that because we had a hard time in controlling our own emotion.

For the most professional gamblers gambling is an easy way to make more money in less time. This is the great impact of gambling. For me gambling is just a game of lose and win because I am not a professional gambler and I don’t know the tricks used in gambling.

Gambling is not easy and most of the gamblers have lost their money because they don’t know how to gamble in a good way, the same case is with me.

That was the word that I can't explain. Impact make me feel nervous and feel me happy and sad while on playing. It get me more unexplainable how does it feel. Through the same feel ways of being as a gamble it makes my life unconditionally.

That is a very bad one mate.
I would not want to judge you but living like that is really something that you would not want to end your life with because If you do not take a good hold of yourself now, you may end up losing yourself totally to gambling and I am sure you know what that means and it would take a whole lot to save yourself from it at the long run.

There is a part of the brain that gambling affects which makes it become an addict, and that is the same part that hard drugs and co stimulate. The thing is that you just have to find a way to control it as that is the only thing that separates someone who gambles for fun and an addicted gambler, and that takes a lot of huge discipline.

The impact over my life is positive. Gambling for me is funny and proportionate entertainment moments when I'm bored. Also, it's a source of income if I'm using the casinos to invest money and to refer people. Gambling helped me to earn money that was and is being useful in my daily life for different reasons. If you know your limits and know how to take advantage from gambling it's possible to have this same positive impact in your life too.

Though I have won some money gambling, I haven't won anything that big to say that gambling has indeed had an impact on my life and I haven't lost so much to say it has had a negative impact on my life. It has taught me some very important lessons about life and gambling as a whole.

If you will always look at the positive experience in gambling you will see a bright side on it, we just have to be responsible all the time so we will not suffer the a big lose that might change the way we see gambling, just remain conservative with the amount you spend and gamble for fun even though we lose most of the time because if you get entertain all the time, you are a real winner.

Gambling has a positive impact on my life. It is relieving me of the stress I am accumulating through the day. It is my escape room from reality. Gambling doesn't have the impact for me that is shown in the physical matter. Betting rooms are releasing my bad thoughts, my fears and my stressful moments from my conscience. Everything that my life is putting before me is being forgotten when I step into the gambling world. I can say that gambling changed my life towards better but not with the factor of the changes in life. My life can be forgotten through the plays I play. A joy that fills me when I gamble has overwhelming power to make me ready for the next day with my mind freed from every bad factor that is bothering me.

Did you mean about positive experience from gambling that you get fun and entertained after the game well that's really though true which you're stand for  really a good man that can satisfied after all the game that he played. Unlike the others where they career of making money from gambling but sad to say it is an opposite result which they get lost after gambling.

maybe to get fun and entertaining is the biggest impact that might be we can get but we can also get lose the money if we don't stop the game. but if we can win the money from the game, then I don't think that we will stop the game and we have two choice which continues to play or leave the gambling places.

I agree with all the points expect gambling is used to earn money because when you aim to make money then you will most likely addict to these games soon or later. Once that happens then you will lose your control and start losing more money on these games. So I don't recommend gambling to use for earning money but only for fun and entertainment.

Gambling taught me lots of things. Patience is one of those things. If you're a good gambler, you're definitely patient. You need to be wise and know when to make the move.
Gambling taught me how to manage my money too. As a gambler, i learned to manage my money to know how much i won and how much i lost. That's the most important thing i learned.

Gambling is fun but risky to lose a lot of money and time, if you want to gamble we have to master the gambling that we play dak if there is no skill all will be in vain. the impact of gambling will become addicted and passionate when gambling and there will be a sense of always curious that makes us always want to gamble, but if gambling is just a try it will not have an impact as long as just want to try so we can appreciate what we have and keep it well.

It means that gambling gave you a lesson about the importance of money. It is good not only for you but for all your family because gambling overall is not good and mostly the people lose their money at the end. I did not hear that somebody won a lot of money and know he is living a happy life with his family. When you lose your hard earn money in gambling definitely you will know the value of money.

That's good actually if you can learn something like a patience and discipline from gambling, I just doubt a lot of people can do that smoothly, there's too much pressure when you are in the game and full of regrets at the end of the game , make things in gambling for me have more bad sides impact instead the good one.

Money is everything in life. Gambling has ruined a lot of people and after losing their money in gambling they also lose their mental order and many gamblers are the patients of psycho, because of gambling. It no doubt a bad thing and there is no short cut in life to make a huge money in just a few minutes. If it is so then everyone will gamble to earn money easily, but the situation is different in gambling.

Exactly, total situation is different in gambling as we think about it. I know a lot of people have this type of thinking that gambling is a short way to earn money and gambling smoothly make us rich. But when we enter in gambling then we realize the reality, gambling never help for those people who always want money from it. Sure gambling has a bad impact in people's life who do greedy. But if we play gambling as a game and deal with it for get entertainment then surely gambling give a good impact in our life.

At the beginning I can say that gambling has a bad impact into my life and that is because I was greedy enough to think that I can easily make money in gambling, but in the long run I matured because I learned from my experience, I open my mind and now sees my chances of winning.
My chances of winning is very low, therefore seeking for money is not a good way to treat gambling, now I only do gambling for entertainment.

I do not agree with you. All the things in life is not gambling because you do not lose everything every time in life. Gambling is a field where if there are 100 chances of winning you will possess only one and 99 will go against you. It means that in 100 you have only 1 chance of winning. That’s why whenever I saw gambler loses and never won. If some time he wins other time he losses double than he won last time.

making profit through gambling? I'd love to see that

Gambling can leads into to way. The wealth and the other one is losing money. But being a gambler you need to assure your break through just to have a more and additional income.You can realy make a profit by controling greediness that makes you more wise that the greedy persons.

Yes eventually our perception about gambling may change when we were young and it differs when we matured.The first time i thought about gambling is the fact that its illegal.Now i see the good thing about gambling especially in times where i have to spend my leisure time.I don't usually gamble but in times i need to be entertained and to have fun,i just go for it.But i make sure that i have set my limitations and take control over my emotions before going into gambling.

Well, If that attitude you're showing for in gambling then you very far from being addicted to it which most of some gambler that being addicted to gambling are getting drawn of debts and credits and even people that they had owed. Because they were out control of their self that seems it were their last moment of their life to gamble and seeking for getting back of their losses in gambling.

I even thinking contrary with you, when at the first time you come to gamble the first impression are about how good it is , how gambling gives you an easy way to make money without hard effort just like other people who work for life out there. But then as time goes by it changed into something that considered as a bad experience that you would never forget about.

It is good to see people learn stuff from gambling.  I do believe it is how we react and relate to whatever gambling experienc gave to us.  Gambling is not that bad as majority of religious people think about because gambling itself is in neutral state, it is the people who act, react and decide on what they do after the had experienced gambling.  In my part, gambling had been a good stress reliever.  After a tiresome week playing in a Casino or Online Casino gave me a refreshed feeling for the next week's tasks.

Playing gambling for fun or trying to experience something new in your life is not a bad thing but playing for making money is the biggest sin committed by the gambler because it will put the gambler and his loving ones in deep troubles and I don’t think that the creator would like to see people worried about the things they have never done in their lives as he’s the creator. And for you, gambling should be prohibited because you are a student with different aims and goals in life.

Well I think gambling has made me suffer alot. I still remember when I started gambling it was in a csgo skins gambling site. At first I won alot in gambling due to which I started liking gambling. But then when I started losing money(skins in csgo) I started to get panicked and lost more money while trying to vhase and win back my losses. It became really stressful and then I decided to completely quit gambling.

It can be considered as a form of entertainment for those who really want to end up seeing it as an entertainment. Unfortunately though, not everyone ends up seeing it that way as there are so many people who just want to gamble with the hope of making a whole lot of money in the process, while some got lucky and were able to make the best of their winnings, some did not and that is where their main problem starts.

We can’t deny as most of the people have such thinking resting in their minds. They think that gambling can make them rich than they used to be and for that they spend all of their time on it and lose the money which they having before. No one will accept that he’s playing gambling for making money out of it, instead of that everyone will say that he is playing for just entertainment purpose because they know that if they will be caught as a gambler, there reputation will be spoiled.

I think you suffered enough from the gambling at the time. Great for you if you've been completely quit gambling, because after you experience what you're telling you will not find a good thing if you keep gambling, right? So deciding to stop gambling is a very wise decision.

This one i can relate but not me as a gambler.  Its about my father, he has been a gambler ever since i was a baby like even before i was born. Infact he raised up his family through this. Our life was never stable, i mean we are not financially stable until me and my two sister finished college. But at least we finished school with the help of my relatives. My sister and i was financially supported by my aunt because my father dont have a stable job. All his life is gambling until now. He has plenty of debts and loan. Its hard but we are used to it. Thats why no one with my siblings gamble. But we are thankful to our father because he still put food in the table despite he losed in gambling, support us in school although with the help of our aunts. Maybe this is the reason why we study hard to finished our school. We look forward to have a good job, good life and dont want to experienced this to our kids. We are still thankful to our father because he never let us stop school, he provide whatever he can gave from gambling but i can see its not stable. There are times he dont have money. And we need borrow money. Money was so tight. We learn so much from it. We become tough and somehow disciplined.

I'm sorry about your father! But at least you have something to learn. Tbh, I have some friends who are addicted to gambling and most of them have a very bad life. Some of them even sell their valuables for gambling. It can be very dangerous if we treat gambling in the wrong ways so, be careful.

Its ok now, we have different lives. He is not supporting us no more. All my sisters have their own work and married. I have my own family now and i am working hard to support my kids, my husband and yeah provide the things that i havent had before. I dont want my kids to experience that i need to give a promisory note my school DEAN just for me to take the exam because we havent get the money we borrowed. When i look back on it, i just smile with a teary eye. Its a lesson for me that i will never let my kids to experience it. My father also end up selling his watch, necklace and motorbike because he is addicted to gambling. But we are ok now. I have a work and my own family i am taking cared of so much. I love my father, we learn so much from what we had in the past. Im still thankful because he was not the worst father like other kids had after all.

Either you control greed or not, you will still end up losing anyway unless you just get very lucky.
The only way where the control of greed comes in is in your ability to not try recovering losses, setting a limit of loss for yourself or probably just walking away when you have a big win and even if you have to come back, endeavor to stick with your principles on gambling.

The only impact that gambling made in me is to wake up that I could not make a fortune out of it. It cannot be a lifestyle, hobby or a moneymaker.

Perfectly said mate, this kind of hobby wont give you a good result in the long run, yet it will just put your  life in a grave mostly gamblers
got addicted and begin to stress their minds, lucky for you that you realize everything before you completely engaged and don't have any options
but to continue and keep you in a big debt.

Nobody's perfect in life but before we made a decisions in our life make sure that we enter in a right way and not to regret in the end.The big impact of gambling in your is you cannot control you emotions ,it cannot be a hobby and before you realized it all your money loose at all.

Maybe we first aim to make money but when we learn that gambling does not give us a chance to win in the long run then we change our purpose which is to have fun, for me learning is very important, it's hard to make a lot of mistakes in gambling as that would cost us a lot of money.
Having fun in gambling could help our life so we can spend quality time occasionally and we do not need to worry of losing as we only spend a small amount.

That conventional trapping from these casinos, either it is a physical real based casino or it is a website, they always starts trapping people by letting them win in the start. People think wow they have earned so much money without doing anything just play a little game and your money becomes double and triple. And then comes the crises on this man and he is not able to do anything.

Gambling is fun only if you are trying different games of gambling without any bet because when you put bet and play, your mind is totally out of sense and the pressure of losing makes it like that. We can easily get to know that the gambler was not having fun by reading his mind when he returns from gambling. Their condition is simply horrible at that time as streams of sweats are pouring out from their face.

I think mostly people who used to be gambler once in their lives had a bad impact of gambling on their lives as the people who once cared about the gambler discontinue their relation at the later end of their lives because they can’t see the gamblers in pains every time when the meet them.

Also, they have to suffer many times for the things they didn’t have done in their lives, so they think it’s better to leave gambler as they are ruining everyone’s life.

That's good, as long as you don't have any problem or making problem while playing gambling for me it will be okay for us to play everytime we want to and as long as we don't affect our budget with our daily needs.

Lucky me I haven't been addicted in gambling which's like having to spending money every day to gamble in gambling as I know on some people. Until now I haven't felt that was has a negative impacts in my life such as many people talking about in a gambling's things. I often visit a gambling sites, but never at all to thinking makes a deposit for playing. I feel., I prefer betting without must make deposit but I can gain some profits.

Better stay away from gambling. You already recognized that it's hard for you to control greed & emotions, so why risking more money again?
If you decide to play again, stick to a certain bankroll that you start with. Make it small, it's not a bad thing to be wise and don't risk your whole house. Stop when hitting a specified amount and rest for at least 48 hours to restore cognitive skills.

The impact of gambling has its positive and negative all dependent experiences in gambling, the positive I got in my gamble in teaching patience and stifling emotions while gambling and besides teaching me to appreciate what I have to at stake. and negatives that I can gamble if followed will continue to be addicted and otherwise it will make me lose it all because victory in the gamble is just luck alone, take the lessons we can to make as life experience.

Well suffering will teach us big lesson in life, better to work hard and never to entrust our life into gambling, there's a little chance that we ca win but
bigger risk to lose it all, maybe people needs to realize and learn from this problem or else suffering addiction would bring them bigger problem.

Sure, addiction is terrible and it's better to be a responsible person outside gambling else don't gamble at all because chances are that you are going to loose all your bankroll and even more if you don't seem to be organized and know what you are doing with your life because gambling is  for the prepared and not an avenue to make quick money when all sources fail you.

Don't we all need to know that? Because for sure addiction has been infecting everyone especially if they experienced a great win in gambling. Usually the quick money earning strategy is probably illegal or something because we can never know how you could achieve that in such a short time.

Gambling can either destroy us or help us with our lives, depends on how lucky we are in gambling. Playing gambling and geting addicted to it is the most dangerous part, it will come to the point where we are going to set aside the other important things in our life because of gambling, instead of studying or working legally, we choose to do gambling.

I think there would be no bigger achievement for such a person who used to be a gambler in his past because gambling at the end of the life proves to be very stressful and disappointing. Gamblers mostly are unable to leave gambling till the last breadth of their lives because they stick to it like the insect sticks with honey and is unable to get rid of it even if he wants to do it because till then, honey doesn’t wants to leave it.

I would have been agreeing with you if you would have been caught saying all this for digital casinos only because in real casinos, the case is opposite as the person opposite to you have also bet some amount on the game and he would never like to lose money to help casino maintain your interest in their gambling because he simply doesn’t cares about you and your situation as he is there to earn profits.

I personally don't prefer making money through gambling and have never tried it too. But i do know a friend of mine who was totally inexperienced and just by believing in some of his friends that "gambling will make you rich in no time", started gambling with 30% of his income but after he actually realized that gambling was not his piece of cake, he refrained and discontinued doing it further! So, from that he became better at making life decisions!

I personally only believe that mostly people get a bad impression about how gambling change their lives , it's doubtful to hear someone achieved a huge and good effects after gambling. Too good to be true when you do always win with its house edge and the odds that of course should belong to the casino, it's the fact.

It always give me headaches whenever I lost. LOL. I don't know if there's a positive impact to me. Although I used my own money and don't borrow from someone to play, sometimes I regret all the money that I been wasted. But its OK for me, I'm trying to managed my addiction now and just playing once a week in landbased casino and not playing at online games.

I have this New Year's resolution to at least minimized and managed it and not throw my hard earn money to gambling anymore. Hope I can quit this year.

That's a good improvement, now that you know your weaknesses you can manage it and correct everything, it doesn't matter if you lose as long as you enjoy gambling and you are always discipline to stay on your budget. We know that losing is the thing that will most likely happen when we are gambling so what we need to do is to prepare for that and if we want to enjoy just think that we need to spend.

You could easily quit it without your new year's resolution to be hones, you just have to be dedicated on doing it, because if you are not, then you are just fooling your own self. I know that it is going to be hard quitting something where you have lost so many money, but quitting it is the best thing to do to get back what you have lost, getting back again and again in gambling is like repeating what you did.

I also not prefer it through gambling. You are right telling that in the start people think that gambling is one way where we could rich in a short time, but when we play gambling only for become rich then in a short period of time, we realized that gambling can't rich us easily. Mostly i see those people always in a lose who think that gambling is a way to make money.   

If we can forget our previous loss and have a new view that gambling is not something that can be sustained to buttress our lives, then to stop or at least reduce gambling activity will be easier. Frankly, there are bad and good effects of gambling for our lives but overall bad effects will dominate.

I have come to the realization money earned through gambling doesn't really last at all and since they are mostly won easily, the people just misuse it with the thoughts that they will be able to make the money again and easily if i might add.

Yes sometimes when we loss our money in gambling it gives to you uncomfortable thing in our mind but success and loss are very common to all people in not only gambling but also in all things but gambling is very useful in sometimes if we won in urgent needs it gives unbelievable happiness to you so gambling is one of the different ways of earning .

I think the impact is not so good.I have lost some BTC in gambling.I really feeling disappointed and really can't afford to lose them.It's really frustrating for me because I am in need of money right now.Gambling is a dirty and dangerous game.It took my hard earned money and made me sad.I taught a lesson from gambling.But the good side is I learn to be not greedy all the time.And I don't want to do gambling anymore.I will just ignore it in future.

If you really want to leave gambling, I think you should start to ignore this gambling board and its sub-board section.
If you stay in gambling discussion, I'm afraid that you will be attracted to gamble again and again because there are some big win story come out that will make you want to try your luck again.
The mistake you made was when you gamble with money that you cant afford to lose, thats why you feel so disappointed and frustrated.
 

And that is how addiction starts. Gambling is not an investment, so how on earth would anyone ever consider it as a profit making venture. That is totally absurd and I bet time will end up teaching such people lessons anyway, if they eventually decide to even see it as a lesson and not end up as an addict. For those thinking like this, it is better to have the fear now than venturing into it at all.

Positive impact from gambling is most of the times do happen very rarely also those positive impacts will not sustain for longer periods. Hence, positive impact is not at all possible even if it will occur, one gambler cannot enjoy that.

To be frank i'm not so fan in gambling just earn money or betting to gambled your money, to do betting and gambling i set my extra money that can i afford to lost if ever it will lost then i stop playing, for me betting in gambling its just for releasing my stress from work i'm enjoyed playing bet.
Yes that's greediness turns you're all money lost if you can't control you're self, or much better avoid being a gambler indeed this not good for wanting money it's okay if for fun.

that is not true if you says anything involve gambling include this discussion actually could lead you to come back to gamble , at some point you will find there is some advices you could take to avoid stupid decisions in the future or maybe you can stop gamble because of some bad experiences story you have seen here.

anyway , since gambling will always make the house in profit , i believe nobody can leave with smile, it is full of pain.

Everyone will be disappointed if his track is always negative and he keeps on losing. If you can control greed, it's not guaranteed that you can make profits but it will help you to minimize your loss. The impact of gambling in my life before is I keep on thinking and calculating on how much I would gamble tomorrow and next to it on how much is the potential profit that can come if I'm lucky enough. But after getting a new hobby which is trading it was transferred there.

I entered in the Bitcoin only for the earnings but when I made throughout research about the Bitcoin then I found that Bitcoin is nowadaye are mostly using for the gambling and Betting purpose because in most of the countries it is not easy to gambling with Fiat currency because at one side gambling not a legal thing and at another side tax system involves but with the help of Bitcoin gambling and Betting are now easy .
So I made interest and entered in the field of gambling , unfortunately I lost my whole earning of 3 month in gambling and that made me definite that it would be more better to do trading than gambling because in trading there always remain chances to recover your loss after pump of the coin .

get back to gambling only if you have a strong control over yourself

Sure, you need a great self control in order to become a good gambler and that doesn't comer easy because many have fallen short of this virtue and have often lost under painful circumstances  and so it's laudable if you learn self control before you gamble again.

one of those people who have the ability and high confidence to be able to conquer gambling.
this might be the biggest capital of gamblers.
learning to control oneself becomes the most valuable capital in gambling.
I am almost the same as you learn to control yourself before going down in gambling

Gambling can boost your confidence like you say but try not to get overconfident as that can plunge you into addiction and will make you loose a lot of money. Self control also comes in when a gambler faces a series of losses but it hurts to learn it the hard way through gambling though.
