I believe everybody has their worst day in gambling especially if you started gambling early maybe in your teenage age. My worst day was when I used my school fees to gamble because I thought I will make more money to take care of some of my needs in school. At the beginning I was making profit for 2hrs,I was carried away with the anxiety of winning but later the game turned round and I was losing and losing,I didn't quit hoping I will recover my lost. Before I knew it I was left with 10% of the money I started with, I couldn't just quit the game then because I still feel I will start winning again but luck failed me and I got drained of all I have on me.

    Two weeks later it was announced in school that we only had one more week left for closure of school fees payment, I tried borrowing, seek for help everywhere but nobody could help me with the money.  This was how I couldn't pay my fee for that semester and went home with carry overs after the end of the semester as I was not allowed to write some exams.

  How about you do you had a worst day on gambling  that you will never forget ?Did it affect an aspect of your life and how ?
   

Anyone who gambles experiences deep valleys and large peaks. You can't gamble and just have fun and win a lot of money. You have to be prepared that you will lose a lot of money, and think in advance what you want to do. Try to use some kind of management with your bank role, and certainly not play with large amounts. Play with money like you've actually already lost it so that it's really just for fun. In the long run, making rational decisions is no longer possible if you want to win back your lost money. It would be better not to start at all to prevent problems. Or don't play online and only take cash to a casino for entertainment.

That is why it is good not to use the amount of money you can not afford to lose to gamble. While gambling, you can lose or make profit, but gambling platforms make it in a way people are more likely to lose. I too have seen hell when I started to gamble, I lost a lot too and become addicted until I finally realized that we should not chase money with gambling, it is wrong.

If you haven't had these worst days, then it is enough to say you haven't gambled at all. Although, what one might consider worst differs as per the gravity some comes with but, it remains painful still when compared to our past experiences and how the event went down considering the aim in view.

At times I wonder how do you college students gets to o that. You know, to use your tuition fees and maybe rent to gamble when you know that, its a high stake probability and you could lose all without being compensated for it but still, you guys get to go ahead with the risk. That's so not me and gambling rules disapproves.

"Gamble what you can afford to lose only". It's that simple and when you feel you should make a trier, know when to draw the line. Tru to be disciplined about it.

I never had the worst day of gambling since I always make sure that I have an alternative option whenever I decided to go all in.  And that plan never failed me so far.  Whenever I planned to use a huge bankroll I always plan to adjust my fundings ahead and keep it as is. 

I know the feeling of getting hooked and drained of the money that isn't supposed for gambling, I was just lucky back then I have a cryptocurrency holding that can be sold to replace the lost amount.


Yeah, we must always think of the future and use only the money that is free of obligation, and better to divide the free money so that it can also accommodate our future activity in gambling.


It already happens and I believe OP has learned his lesson well.  It is a good thing that he realizes that what he did is wrong and comes to share with us the horror of using money that is allocated somewhere in gambling.  It is much better to suffer such thing than getting addicted to gambling because having the latter will surely destroy your future. 

As a gambler (who still made losses today) i have to inform you in joy that there is no worst day in gambling. hehe. In gambling there are worst days, such that as a gambler you would be unable to rank the worst days when you start to recall and try to do so.

None the less, as terrible as gambling is, there's no good or worst days if you gamble within your means. Gambling within your means helps you survive the numerous worst days, and also helps you save in the excellent days

The first I knew was my departmental friend that gambled with his tuition fee. I blamed him.

Another was a very close friend of mine that gambled with his mother's money. It was a very huge amount of money. I blamed him.

Not knowing I too would fall victim of that. I gambled with my school fee, not even once but twice.

My departmental friend, my close friend, and I all lost.

When I lost the second time, I quit gambling for many months.

One thing I don't do for my life is to ever play or gamble with my bill funds most especially my rent or my children school fees. Then when I was in school I have never temped with my school fees though then I never had much love for gambling for it was good for me to utilize any money that gets to my hands. So I never have though experience.

Yes, I gamble in my high school days, but I never encounter this kind of situation though, gambling tuition fees, but I can feel you. There are really circumstances in our life that suddenly change and beyond our control. And if we including gambling, and used the money that it's supposed to be used on other situation, then the problem arises. I think for me the worst is just gambling all the money that I earn when I had job, after payday I would go run to any landbased casinos and going home empty. Think about 2 works of hard work going into drain in less than an hour and you don't know what to do next because you don't have money in your pocket when you go home. How can you cope with the basic necessities like food and then you have to pay the bills? It's just really stressful and everyone should learn from these kind of mistakes and not get addicted.

No one wants to be an irresponsible father or parent. One thing about trading and gambling is that people that are not married risk more than the people that are married. The kind of ways a married man would think is different. It would be very absurd if a father gambles with his children school fees. That is a very bad thing to do. A good father would want to pay bills too. But when it comes to people that are not married, they have the kind of mind to risk more, but the risks can later put them in trouble. But be it a married person or not, gambling should be done in a responsible way that will not become a problem for the gambler.

You were young by that time and yet you already into gambling, probably something is wrong and the result was really bad since you are still young and can’t handle your emotion. I guess everyone here have our own story of worst gambling experience and hopefully we learned from that scenario. With OP, this is a reminder that you should only gamble with your extra money, and never use a funds that is intended for your regular expenses.

Gambling do not give guaranteed profits so we should not risk our money particularly if it’s intended to pay the bills or even for emergency funds. Though it’s not bad to gamble, but make sure that you are gambling your extra money so that if you lose, your finances will never be affected. I have been into gambling addiction before, but I have never experienced as worst as this like OP experienced.

Sometimes, it's a matter of setting priorities!

As a student, especially one that has got sponsorship, your number one job or function is always to study. That was the way I saw it back the as I happened to have had the sponsorship and backings of my parents. I knew I had left the Co.fot of home to get a degree. Not because I was all consumed about the idea of schooling but I knew education to some length was important and so I gave priority to the things that would see me through the process and that meant, not taking chances with my tuition fees.

Once it was at hand, I always find the time to free myself of it and sort other means to get the extra cash I wanted. Those I could gamble with to make more of it hit definitely, not my tuition fees and surely not to be homeless by joking with my rent.

It's simply priority.

I had a similar experience to you Frank when I've used my school fee for something else but it's not gambling. My parents didn't know it and I'm just realizing how a bad child I am.

They've worked hard just to send me to school and I did nothing but to spend that money for other things. Well, at the end of it, I have to pay it for my own and looked for someone to cover it for me and has to worked for it before the deadline that's given to me.

My worst day in gambling would probably just the same as the others that at the entire day, there's even not that much luck on me. And leaving myself with a loss that would be a budget of a day or two was like a thing already.

It is better to have lost and learned than win and got addicted.  So I believe having the worst day in gambling is just another kind of salvation where we learn lessons and become knowledgeable to avoid a more serious matter and that is gambling addiction.  Being able to stop after those losses simply shows we still have retained our sanity, though bothered by the problem, it is not as serious as being addicted and needing to undergo gambling addiction treatment.   I believe this kind of losing event in gambling and being able to learn from it is a blessing in disguise.


True, and when our initial bankroll got depleted let us be disciplined enough not to top up our bankroll with our remaining money because it will only trigger a continuous tapping of bankroll when our bankroll is depleted.

The theme is recurrent, I think that if we had a section of this type outside of the ones that would generate the most opening of topics, I have not only had bad days, I have had seasons that sometimes turn into months, it is hard but it is something that must be consider before they happen.

You didn't have a plan, it is as bad as what you did, we're betting to beat the loss in the long run not in an instant.

I'll give you an example, just yesterday I needed $10 to complete a wager, my bet size is $0.5 at that time in that casino, sometimes it's more, other less but I got out of the $0.5 plan I put the winchance at 1.01x;  I put $10 and what do you think?... the 1.00x amazing came out, it was shit, but at least it didn't affect my bankroll, anyway, we believe that it will not happen!, it happens.

 

Its been one of the main rule when you do play gambling on which never ever spend much money which you cant something able on affording to lose it.Next would be on not to be that greedy.

Dont aim for money but rather it would be fine if you do focus on how to seek out entertainment and leisure with gambling activity.If you do have this kind of money or profit seeking kind of attitude then
you would really be ending up on unfortunate situations.

Worst day and Lucky days are the only days which you could experience on gambling field but you should make yourself aware that it would be mostly unlucky ones because house do always win in the end.

Being greedy is always the worst experience in gambling, I also have this experience before where I spend the money not intended for gambling, and it forced me to borrow again just to pay back the money I loss in gambling. Those experience are not easy to forget but we should treat that as a lesson and never do that again.

That is a good teaching moment for you. Hope you learned your lessons.

It is not a really good idea to go gambling with the intention that it will fill your financial needs.

At least now you know that you do not gamble the money that you need. You must only use the money you can afford to lose.

Luckily for me, I did not go through that, yet. I have lost a lot before, but that money is not allotted for anything. It was an extra for me. And I always keep it that way. But unlike you, I did not start real gambling until I was an adult, so I have some self-control over the amount of money and gambling habits. You started young so you are a bit impulsive.

I understand that feeling wherein we just want to continue gambling regardless of the risks. It's already common to those people, especially those new to gambling or just recently experienced the feeling of being a big winner. Without the worst experience in gambling, we will never learn.

Just charged it to your experience OP and next time, don't ever stake the money that was originally meant for other important things. You are creating a problem over a problem. Hope you learn your lesson.

Especially for the newbies.

I was once there when I was new to gambling and really had that emotion that there's a need for me to keep winning for more.

Despite winning for the majority of the bets in a local game that I've bet for, still, I went for more and didn't secured my bankroll and a few from my winnings.

It may not be the worst but that's what a typical gambler day is.

When you are already on a situation which you would really be chasing up winnings and breaking even your losses then you would really be ending up on that desperation.
Anything which is on excess would really be definitely not a good thing specially when you do touch up gambling.You would really be ending up on having the worst situation.
Its either you would lose money in huge scale or would able to stop midway completely and able to realize on whats happening.Worst day would be always
happening because in gambling, losing is very that common.

So how did you pay for school fees? Can't wait to hear what your parents said.

The time when you are winning you sometimes forget that you won't be losing anymore because of the huge wins in the beginning.
In the offline casino, the dealer is just not amused when you stop betting after a huge win. And when you continue, where you won't notice they are gone after just a few lost bets.

It was a wrong move to have used your school fees to gamble, I advise you never to use funds that are meant for serious life bills to gamble with and only gamble with the amount you can afford to lose, greed has dealt a heavy blow on you there and I hope you have learned from your experience and next time you will never try that kind of risk again and I hope you can make up for your courses that you were absent in the exams because of failure to meet up with tuition fees payment.

Most people may have similar experiences to yours but their outcomes. may be different their those who get lucky to have risked such money and come out as winners winning a lot of extra cases that cover up their school fees and moving to other issues.

But in all don't gamble with your life savings you may not get lucky to survive it.

I have heard of the school fees account being used before, the story I heard was on nights out and fancy clothes.  It was all used up beforehand, needing the person to start a job to save for uni instead.   Gambling is a past time first of all, never assume the winnings thats just the bonus part of it.

Worst day for me would be influenced by rushing a bet not considering all the factors or misinterpreting and messing up another game I meant to bet on at the same time.  Losing a bet is one thing but not when you get the details mixed and it wasn't hedged properly like you intended, generally learning from that would be not to rush bets if possible.   Its always tempting to place a bet at the last moment especially in sports betting so those are usually the mistakes I try to avoid.

Your story reminded me of a student confession months ago about how he lost his money for tuition fee. It's not because of gambling on a casino or any betting platform but because he placed it on a shitcoin hehehe....it's not much of a difference for most "investors" anyway.

I've had my losses to in my early gambling days where I bet more than I should have but there's no need to tell it in detail. 99% of us who gambled for a long time probably suffered a huge loss already.

it may not be school fees but one way or another, we also experienced the same scenario. continuously playing thinking that we will recover our losses. but in the end, we lost it all. it is not new when it comes to gambling. even long timers are guilty of it. i guess, we need to learn our own lessons here before we truly accept the fact that we are in gambling, and the chance of going home as winner is not always there.

If there's such a thing I guess it would be the time when I won a great amount but can't claim it because the casino had already gone under. I forgot the casino name, but this was a few years back playing roulette. Managed to win 0.50 btc when price was @ $1800 or something. I was happy back then but can't withdraw because I'm not using my own device and I don't have any copy of my btc address anywhere. Had to go home and perform withdrawal, but once I got home, casino is no longer searchable online and they just performed an exit scam. I'm fine with losing my money, but hoping that you'll get something only to get shut down is on another league.

My worst day in gambling when I won but I came back to play again, the reality was that the results not expected and I lose all. In fact the money I used was planned to buy life necessities, to survive when I was unemployed. Ironically my money ran out and I survived only drink water and some gift from my circle, until I found a job again. Really unforgettable for a lifetime even maybe to old age.

There’s a lot of student nowadays got involve early in gambling and this is bad since most of the site didn’t allow underage and yet many still able to access the site. Your story OP is very common, not the worst story but that’s an early sign of addiction. Now bigger problem was created and it will be hard to look for that money in an instant. I do have my personal story of losing big money but not to the extent that I’ll be using some funds for my family and personal needs, this is something I can’t afford to do at all.

The worst day is part of the experience of being a gambler. That worst experience will be our foundation to become a good gambler in the future unless not learning the lesson from every worst experience. I can't remember my worst experience with gambling but that's not important to me.

What matters to me is to maintain my good experience as much as possible. That should be the goal every after a big loss.

Well as the gambling ads getting wild in post-covid era and now it's really hard to control over it, kids under age become a victim as they are easily get influenced. These kind cases often occurred and pretty unfortunate to see ? The only way is by taking the internet access out of them.

They havent ready to gamble responsibly.

the feeling is too familiar. I posted days ago about my experience in the past on how I won and went home/logged out but had a feeling of being lucky that day. anyway, as all of us know and experienced, in the end, I ended up losing my winnings and my initial funds from trying to win back what I lost. it was a hearth breaking day full of regrets but as time passes it has become a great learning point on what and what not to do.

Everybody has their worst day in gambling and their best day in gambling. Don't let it get you down.

Obviously you do not forget losing a lot of money and it feels bad for a few days/weeks. But at some point you don't think about it and just go on gambling away as you did before. Sure you might win big or lose big again but that's only when you bet big. Whenever I lost money (and I lost my money stupidly and often), I made really big bets before learning to calm down with the big bets.

Find a strategy which will minimise your losses and hold to it.  

My worst day in gambling was way back during my newbie days when my big profit turned into losing and didn't have a chance to enjoy it. The capital I used here is just a small amount to consider and things become lucky for me when I hit big multipliers in a slot game.

But instead of taking that big profits, I didn't withdraw it thinking that was my day. Why should I stop if I'm lucky?

In the next part, you should already know what happened, losing and regrets.

Poker tourny over 650+ people and got down head to head.  Had the other person covered in terms of chips.  I had pocket queens and slow rolled the pre flop the other person went all in pre flop I called.  They showed 5/6.  Flop came 5,6, face card.  Flop-river came out dead cards.  Next hand got another bad beat to lose and come in 2nd.  Didn't play poker for awhile after that.

I hope you learned the lesson and so is people reading about your story, gambling is no joke, even mature grown-ups can't control it, so of course a teenager can make even crazier things, for me it wasn't just a bad day in gambling, it was a whole run of more than 2 years, all I can say is I'm not proud of my run in gambling, I didn't lose a lot but gambling is never something to be proud of even if you win.

It's pretty obvious that our worst gambling day would have a affected us somewhat in our life. From having severe relationship with someone or maybe not putting food in the table.

For me I can't count what's my worst gambling day that resulted in something like this. But I know that it had dire consequences for me, like not going to work because you can't sleep because you lose some big money and you can to think and cover it because it could be disastrous in my end.

Your experience is not new to us we all have this kind of experience when we are starting out, there is such a thing as beginner's luck and you experienced it but unfortunately, you don't know how to stop or lose control of yourself because of this beginner's luck just hit you, and when you lose you your winnings and your investment you feel sorry and you need to win those back, its called chasing your losses and it's not good because it will further drain you

This is a big lesson for you to only gamble with money that you can afford to lose, problem will beset you if you are an irresponsible gambler who gamble when he has money in his pocket, check your priority first, gambling is for entertainment only


 We all do mine was spending all the money that is for paying our rent, I have to literally beg for our landlord to give me an extension, I fixed it and promised not to play with money that is not allocated for gambling.
   

he was just a teen that time. surely we have done certain things like this in the past some are worse.
its easy for parents to forgive a teen to have done such mistake because after all he is just a teen. but his parents must have impose disciplinary action so it won't happen again.

when i was a teen i learn the consequences too as i walked home more than 2 miles because i lost all my money in a card game.

You're young at that time and probably didnt know the risk when you gamble the money that is meant for your tuition. I just wonder what's your parents reaction when they found out what happened?

I also have similar experience but that time I already have my own family. I also made a mistake to gamble and unable to refrain myself for doing so resulting to many problems particularly my relationship with my family. Experience can really give us a lesson to not repeat the same mistakes again.

I have never had similar experiences. What I have seen with my own eyes is someone spending their monthly salary on a slot machine on the same day they get paid. A long time ago. It was a time when slot machines only accepted coins, and I saw the person change notes one after the other as he lost.

Luckily for me I also have no similar experience. I cannot even remember my worst day in gambling until I rewind my past gambling adventures. This was likely my worst day in gambling, it occurred last 2014, eight years already. I bet $200 in a single game NBA finals game. I cannot remember what game was it but I bet on the Miami Heat but they lost to the San Antonio Spurs. It was a big lost for me but I had a stable job already that time so it is not that painful as losing a whole semester tuition fee at school.

I am quite rational in these matters. Regarding casino gambling, I have played very little and have never gone out of control. Specifically with poker, there are times when you have downswings that make you lose a lot in a short time, and what you have to do is to continue playing as if nothing happened, as long as it does not affect your emotional state. There are times when I have had to make the session shorter than planned because of downswings. It is better to come back at another time when you are fresher.

My worst day in gambling was when I lost 10% of my entire bankroll and had to quit playing because that was my stop loss. It still affects me a lot, because it will take a decent length of time until I recover that money. Meanwhile I can't gamble anymore and I also have to be more economical from now on in every aspects of my life in order to recover that money as soon as possible.

There is nothing I can do to change what happened, but I do regret about what I did and I'm not going to repeat that again futurely. I put too much faith on luck and forgot reason...

it wasnt just  your worst day in gambling but your worst day in life , imagine that it is a school fees? in which will dictate your future but instead you decide to gamble like gambling your whole future.
never do the same thing again , never let your desire decide for your life instead use your mind and heart not only your eagerness .

I also gambled quite a bit back when I was in high school but it never really went past that level like OPs. I've spent money yes, pretty big compared to my normal but never enough to well bring ruin to my current state then.

I guess the biggest damn day of my gambling was on my first paycheck, basically spent it all in gambling back then (I was pretty invested after winning considerably before then), which basically made living through the month pretty hard. Still better than most I guess, but it was still a rather difficult time for me that has relation wtih gambling.

This OP story is very classic high school life story. I experienced this too during my highschool days when I bet my tuition fee on Dota against the other school in my town. We lose the game and I really don't know what I'm gonna do.

In the end, I become honest to my mother and accept the punishment even though it really hurt compared to lying that I already paid my tuition amd find out later on.

People only regret it later after they burned the money that isn't supposed to be spent that way I have a similar experience when I was in high school when I spent P.E uniform fees on an Internet cafe and I don't have any guts to face my parents and to tell them what really happens but then I made a good decision when I realized that regret will not get back my money but instead I worked part-time jobs and made enough to pay my P.E uniform. from that day until now, I haven't spent the money I can't afford to lose.

Teenage is the worse time to start gambling, teenagers are impulsive, and their judgment is immature when it comes to gambling
If your parents know this they will not let you gambling is very risky and only a mature mind can gamble without risking everything

You put yourself in a bad position where you should not be, a teenager should enjoy being free and to study for your future you cannot make it your vocation, this is a big lesson and a lesson that will take you to become a mature player in casino

   
This is a big lesson for you, you should forget about gambling and finish schooling first if you want to gamble do it when you have a job and you have money of your own that you can allocate for gambling.


   

My worst day has been when I have used the funds allocated to save in my daughter account as I do monthly but I got and played it all in the slot machines.I know this was only one month and I have already remedy this problem by depositing double the amount one of the next months and compared to using the school fees is nothing because you have risked much more than I did but this is the worst I have done with funds that were allocated for other purposes and I got and lost them all.

Sorry to hear that you are struggling so much with gambling. But honestly, what did you expect using your school fee money for gambling? This is a complete nogo and was a huge mistake by you. The first rule of gambling is the same as in trading, never use money that you can't afford to lose. How do you even have access to all your school money at such a young age? Shouldn't your parents be managing the money for you? This is a really sad story and I hope you learned from it. Especially if you are very new to gambling in the first place, there is no need to gamble with large sums of money. Hopefully you managed to recover your school money with help from your family and took a break from gambling after that. I would never say that for me the worst day in my life was with gambling. There are some days where I lost a lot of money, but I was always aware of the risks and made sure I could lose that money in the first place. All the necessary money for housing, food or education I would never touch and risk it in a casino. The worst day in my life was either when my dad was diagnosed with cancer or when my grandmother died. I would give a lot of money to make either of these two days to never have happened.

In short, based on your story, you used your tuition fee payment to gamble, and thinking that you would continue to win and thinking that that day was your luck, you continued to play until you notice that you are struggling to recover from the loss and in the end, you are disappointed.

You were tempted to gamble thinking you could grow it, that's the wrong decision you made, you should have learned to discipline yourself. And because you were not careful, the consequence of what you did was that you were not able to pay your tuition fee to the school you attended.

In my experience, I did not lead to such a thing as you experienced, because I know how to limit myself from gambling.

We all have our worst gambling experiences particularly when we just started out. And it all boils down to faulty thinking and chasing losses. Having read how other people won thousands of dollars on a single $100 bet, newbies would often jump thinking that they could double their money and when they win do something noble with it. We always had good intentions but did odds didn't care. Not my story though but something I experienced in a bet shop. So the person came and place a bet and lost. He took off his footwear and place it as a bet and still lost. He ended up going home barefooted. Two weeks later, he was found hanging in his room. He had killed himself.

If you can stop after playing for 2 hours with a win, you certainly won't be sad and regret like you are now. But that's all in the past and you learn a valuable lesson that never gambles for too long and stops immediately when you've made a profit. If you have lost, it will be difficult to recover from that loss because the casino will not let you win a lot of money a second time.

I've never had a bad loss or nearly had one but luckily, I could stop right then and there so the losses weren't as big as others. And yes, it was an experience we cannot forget but we must try to forget it and not repeat it in the future.

Too bad for you Frankolala, if I should say I never had any similar to yours
I have always gambled in the right way, expect two things in return win or loss!
But what I would say was my bad day was not cashing out when I had the chance, I missed out winning 35 million naira in Bet9ja around 2019 April  :'(.   I couldn't sleep for days after the loss.

it is reasonable for Him to make such action because of being young and super uncontrollable , he can decide whatever he wanted and that day he chooses a much wrong way.
it is a amount of Money that Her/His parents gather from hard work and what he did is just spent this for gambling.

The difficulty for gamblers when they have made a lot of profit is to play the game again and without them realizing that the account they have may have been marked by the system that they have made double profits from the first time gambling, so taking a 2 hour break to stop playing for a while is still not enough , it would be better to change to a new account to gamble and take advantage of the sign up bonus or first time deposit bonus if available.

Let me start by saying that I don't feel for you, you might still be learning, time and the spirit attached to gambling itself would teach you over time. Gambling can ruin you if you are not careful, you should still be appreciative that you have 10% of your money left. Some would even go home with a negative balance by selling some properties/assets with them, so yours is still minimal. I have seen someone with physical cash that wasted about $1500 through gambling. As if that was not enough, still went ahead to withdraw more cash twice. This is insane! Every gambler should have proper plans before dabbling into it. It's supposed to be for mature minds only.

I've an experience of gambling with friend's money. The important thing, I didn't borrow from him. He himself gave me and said give me when I ask. The money with me is getting emptied using for unwanted needs. It was a big sum of $1200, and later when he asked I wasn't able to return. He didn't fought or made it an issue. Have given time for me to arrange and for the immediate need he somehow managed.

You went extreme my friend, how on earth will you gamble your school money meant for school fees, I think reading from your storyline, the bet you made was virtual sports. Nothing drains the pocket like virtual sport because the condition of the game can change before a blink of an eye and seeing how your money gets burnt while watching can give one high blood pressure and anxiety and making the right decisions during that time is always difficult, before you know it, you will make the wrong move of playing with your last card with of at least making back the capital you have a stake in the game.


Learning? It is rather a mistake, you don't use urgent money to gamble in hope of making more, it always ends in pain and regrets.
Gambling doesn't ruin except if you are the addicted type and extremist who would do anything to wager the last money on any games.

Your worst day comes at the right time, if you continue winning you will end up addicted to gambling at a very young age, gambling is not for teens like you and you find that early in your life at a huge cost of not getting an exam because the money you use is for your tuition, I think you're a better person when it comes to gambling now because you learned in your early years that you don't chase your winnings, and you have a level of control in gambling.

My worst day so far was when I accidentally hit the MAX button on a dice site, and thus bet 0.006+ BTC with 0.5% win chance. I lost it all in the blink of an eye, but I keep wondering what if I accidentally won? It would be my best day in gambling then. :)

As for the similar situations you described, I had several of them, when I was losing $5-$10 on slots and wanted to win it back, but only ended up losing $20-$30 more. It was painful, but not as dramatic as in your case. Next time never risk more than you can afford to lose.

Every loss is bad, but it is a consequence of gambling because you can't expect to win forever. Losing and winning should be normal, but I think some people will get greedy and have a hard time controlling their gambling which will eventually lead to problems.

Your story has actually been shared by many gamblers out there but maybe they don't want to admit it publicly. I also have experience but it shouldn't have much impact on my real life and financial condition. As long as you can control your gambling and finances, then you are safe to bet at least a few dollars that you can afford to lose.

I think I've heard stories like this, my guess at that time wasn't the first time you gambled. You're used to gambling, hopefully you don't do that anymore, don't use any money for important things.

My worst day at gambling was when playing dice with the auto bet feature and I activate the increasing bet in the win and also lose section and this makes me quickly lose funds

Yes, maybe many of us have experienced it and it is because of the temptation of gambling that they continue to play without thinking that what they got is enough. But to change to a new account just to take advantage of the signup bonus doesn't seem to be recommended because maybe the casino can find out that it's us playing or using the account. But simply quitting playing and exiting the casino is the recommended advice so that we can reduce the tension of having been playing for some time.

No doubt that most gamblers had their own worst day on gambling, some may not have experienced it yet. In my case, my worst day was when I was able to win few grands but ended with lose it all. At that time I started my session with no more than $150, I was lucky enough to turn it into more than $5k in less than 2 hours but I was out of control so I increased my bet a lot because I wanted to win more and more. Unfortunately, I ended to lose it all in less than an hour including my initial deposit + one more deposit. Obviously it was not affecting my life because I actual lose was still under my gambling limit but the worst thing is that I was too greedy.

I have never gambled an amount used for something else. What i can relate with is gambling my feeding allowance two consecutive times and to be sincere it wasn't funny on my part those two weeks. This happened in my second year in school. After that i had to draw my budget to ensure i don't fall going cashless anymore

I thought that you did gamble with your friend's money without his acknowledgement. Well, that's the worst experience and I've seen a lot of gamblers made that mistake.
But since it's different from what you've experienced, so, it's like that he just allowed you to use that for anything and had an arrangement that you have to pay for it at an agreed time and most available time that you've got no pressure at all.

It should be realized that gambling with money that you should not use as pleasure is the most fatal thing. why, no matter the money you will use for gambling or other types of pleasure hobbies. In fact, you must be held accountable for the consequences of what you do. meaning, you have made a mistake that you realized beforehand if the scenario did not go according to your plan.  for sure you have to find a way to replace the money that has been lost.

So far I have never experienced anything like you did, but every gambler has the worst day of his entire gambling experience. with this experience, in the future, hopefully you will be more responsible for considering every risk and consequence if you do the same thing.

Well sincerely speaking gambling has no limits to married or not married as a matter of fact, married men gambles mostly to raise funds for his family. I have a neighbor who gamble both basically on pools, which he goes to stake on every Saturdays and he is married most at times his family quarrels him for gambling and using their money for bills to gamble.
So gambling comes with addiction, once you got addicted it doesn't matter if you have a family or not the habits has been established so nothing stops you from the previous attitude or behavior. It takes only self discipline to control the gambling habits.

That is true, anyone can gamble as long they are above 18. But married people risk wisely because they know they have to take care of the family.

For not to be a bad father, better for such person not to go for gambling, he should look for other means because gambling can take than give, especially it would take from those that are in need and look into gambling for it.

This is true. But I wish we can see the percentage of married and not yet married men that gambles and see who are most reckless about it. Definitely the not yet married people would be more, also in addiction which is what I am talking about.

A lot of people have always learned the hard way and OP is just one of them, except if that experience didn't change anything when it comes to responsible gambling.

As for me, I gambled most of my remaining ETHs and some BTC on different gambling sites and casinos last 2019. I thought the crypto market is not recovering anytime soon and I went YOLO. I knew it would fucked up, especially since I was gambling extensively rather than my usual meticulous picks on sports betting. I was supposed to HODL those coins and just gamble responsibly.

I second this opinion. As a matter of fact, I believe that whenever we start to gamble, or start a gambling session, we need to have a certain goal, of just how much we can afford to lose and a certain amount of how much of a win before we cashout.

There have been several times that I could have ended up winning a decent amount, but since I mostly want more and more, I end up losing even my starting balance. Which sucks, so now I try to limit myself whenever I play. And for most of my wins this past months, I was able to cashout little by little. Its only this september that it really sucked.

I definitely agree with your statement.

That is the problem when you are dealing with something that is highly risky- there can be no absolute result as you may either win or lose without any given notice. Gambling can be beneficial when you win; but it can also be potentially destructive at the same time if you fail to control your habits as this will result to spending tons of cash in the process.

While today may be your worst day in gambling, look at the brighter picture and learn from this experience. Should you try to recover your losses by gambling again? I do not think so- but at least you gained something invaluable which is the experience and learnings from this unfortunate event.

That's the adrenaline that we feel because we think we're at the top of our worlds.

And it makes us confident that we want to continue because we still got a lot to gamble. But other than that, when we start losing with our bets, that's where we become critical and think that it's still not that far from losing all of it.

As long as we still got some left, it won't stop us.

Yes. I already experienced this kind of situation most of the time when I’m playing using the money that I can afford to lose. I’m always being cautious at first and can think straight when I’m winning but disaster always come when the lose streak occurs while I keep chasing the lose. Due to fear and anxiety of losing, I can’t think straight and bet huge amount just to chase my lose quickly that always ends me up losing all my money.

We can always think straight when we are winning but we become greedy and careless when we are losing that’s why we always lose all of our bankroll once we experienced lose streak because we are chasing our lose using increasing bet amount.

Well OP, I'm guessing you're not aware of the fact that many people have bad days at the casino. It's normal to have a bad day from time to time, especially if you've been gambling for a long time. So don't worry about it! Everyone has those days where everything just goes wrong and it's hard to recover from them. Don't try too hard to recover your losses by gambling again, because you'll probably only make things worse for yourself. If you've become obsessive and overly focused on winning and chasing losses, take a step back and evaluate your strategy.

If you're feeling down right now, remember this: it's okay to take a break from gambling for a while and come back at it when you're ready. This can help give you some perspective on what went wrong, what you did well, and how to improve. The next time you're at casino, consider playing with a different strategy than you used before: maybe try something new, or play a different game than you normally do. Good luck!

That's not a worst day, it was a stupid mistake on what you did there.
If the money is for something necessary for your life or your future then spend it there first. You don't gamble it and try to double it in a casino.
Well, it happened so I guess you learned your lesson.

The worst day is when you keep on losing but the money is just something you stashed for the purpose to gamble.
But there's always the thought of trying to win of course. It's not like you saved it to give it away.
I had my bad day in slots before and I think that's also when I stopped playing it for a long time. Same as you, I chased the losses and end up zero. I don't like that where the joy will die in just hours which is why I switched to sports gambling.

So what's about your score on those subjects? are you failing a grade? it must be a hard lesson for you since you're just making small mistake and make you need to spend 1 year again. But after that I know you wouldn't did that shit again, moreover you're already an adult and can make a decision in your life

Fortunately I didn't have similar experience like you, where the fault are on yours, not the casino. IMO my worst day on gambling is when the casino I trust become a scam casino and confiscate all of my money.

That's the worst mistake but using school money just to gamble of course the goal is to double the money but the fact is it's a bad day because we know there have been many cases that have happened, no matter how much you want to win but too much it makes you more greedy and in the end you become depressed because of the loss and the money cannot be recovered even if you try to bet again.

Because this has happened, you must remember that gambling is hot, you always want to keep playing, never use money that doesn't belong to you or other more important needs, but if the goal is to double I think it's difficult but if it's for fun you won't be depressed but more calm because the money is not money that is needed for others.

I feel sad that this incident happened because you were too aggressive but this is a lesson for the future, don't let it happen again.

That was tragic and as I read your story,  I could feel your struggle and the things that you went through because of your wrong decision. Sometimes because of false hope in gambling, we usually come up with a wrong decision that we could regret later on.
Mine was when I pawned the jewelry gift from my boyfriend and used the money to gamble. I didn't know that I would end up losing and I wasn't able to redeem back that jewelry. My boyfriend felt disappointed because of what I did and I was also regretful knowing that he worked so hard just to buy that jewelry. He's now my husband but I'm still deeply regretful whenever I remember that mistake.

I think this is a common mistake where many people have had this bad day in gambling, whether it's losing a lot or mismanagement of excessive money, using business money, borrowed money or other types that make you so crazy about gambling games that you forget after you lose more in it.

I honestly have had bad days but that I can change to manage how this doesn't happen again even I am looking for some references to common mistakes in gambling (https://www.maravipost.com/10-common-mistakes-people-do-when-gambling/) that I read in detail to draw conclusions which are good and which are bad so I can adjust to the game me in this case is certainly important and should know about it.

I hope you can get up in any way to be able to play again without having to use money that shouldn't be used in gambling, you have to think about gambling, it's not always the game will be lucky, keep thinking about risk, and manage management, emotions and greed that make you blind everything.

I understand you very well. Anyone with a behavioral gambling addiction can fall into this mistake. Some people may misuse their dues or borrowed money. At this point we have to make the following distinction. Do the decisions we make put other people in a difficult situation or not? If we are putting other people in a difficult situation, what we are doing is absolutely wrong. If the decisions we make are binding only for us, I think there is no problem in this case.

I bet on a few matches each week. But I never put others in a difficult situation because of my own decisions. I think if we pay attention to this, we will not have a bad day at gambling. We should pay attention to these in order to increase our pleasure while gambling.

Your worst day start from the moment you start spending your money playing gambling with your tuition fee. You should atleast saved up the 10% of thge money you started with and risk it on another day given that you are under pressure recovering the funds you lost from your gambling session. Bad days on gambling is inevitable but we can counter it by managing the risk. Risking your tuition fee is an immediate lose in my opinion. No one would let you borrow money knowing that you lost your money on gambling, Trust me no one will risk their money for someone who tends to roll their money on a casino.

I cannot exactly remember the worst moment that I've had with gambling. But I know that I have had so many bad moments with gambling. I think the worst moments were those moments when I already won very good amounts but still end up losing everything because I didn't stop. I have had several moments like this in my gambling experience. I have made money that I haven't enjoyed because they're lost just moments after I won them. Worse, not only have I lost what I won. I usually lost everything, even the amount that I started with.

My worst day was much less problematic (I don't even remember it, I only remember the general situation) and had no consequences. I think that many people have gone through something like this: I learned about gambling -> "invented" Martingale -> I was lucky for a while, and then I lost my entire deposit.
By the way, I can’t say that it was that bad - I received the necessary vaccination against excessive gambling and after many years (20 years) I can say that I had no problems with gambling.

Greed will make you lose in everything, including gambling. Here we need to set the number of wins to take. I understand and feel that while playing we are often ruled by greed which ultimately makes us lose everything even when we win big.
I play for fun, but in the fun of it I always set a target number that I have to take when I win. Because when I can't manage things like that, I won't be able to feel victory.

I also have the same past as you (using monthly school fees to gamble) but luckily I didn't get kicked out during the exam because my parents immediately paid for it even though when I got home my parents beat me hard

from that incident I stopped gambling for a few years until when I finished school I started gambling again but with limitations because I made money from my own work

every gambler must have experienced the worst thing and definitely not just once or twice maybe many times. but all of that is an experience that will not be forgotten and every gambler will learn from these bad things to be better the next day when they want to play gambling.
i understand what you mean when you get a win from gambling and at that time you can't enjoy your winnings you just disappear without realizing it all. but for me, getting money easily from gambling wins, of course, will also quickly disappear no matter what happens.
but i'm very sure even though you can't remember when something bad happened when playing gambling, surely you will never forget when you spent your money on gambling.

Those who are involved in gambling for the first time they likely to fall into such situations. It is common in gambling that you lose when you need to win the most. Just at that time your human pressure increases which can fall you in serious trouble. That is why it is said that you can only gamble with as much as you can afford to lose. Whenever you consume more than the prescribed amount then you have to face various problems. Again, many people have seen that because of this gambling loss, they become desperate to recover that money, thus the amount of their loss increases.

I don't think I have any bad experience in gambling, whenever am gambling I always try all my possible best to control myself, I don't really gamble with serious money so whenever I lose the money I deposited no matter what happens I won't deposit more funds. When you are gambling and you are losing, people are always having the mindset that if they keep on playing they will eventually win back all their lost which is very wrong, when you are losing and you notice that your lose is getting to much, the best thing you should do is stop for that day, if you continue playing, you might continue to lose, no body is assured that you will win if you continue to play, I think it will be better if all gamblers always learn to stop when they have to.

I don't think that his score on those subjects and if he is failing his grades since those will not be accounted for due to the fact that he was not able to pay for his tuition and school fees. Surely, OP learned his lesson the hard way to not gamble any funds that are already allocated for other things, especially for payment.

In regards to your worst situation on gambling, It really hits hard knowing that you did not mess up yet your funds have been lost and stolen by the casino you've trusted. I never experienced being robbed by the casino itself and I never want to experience it, especially for the casino I am playing on.

Anyways, as for my worst experience with gambling, I've been greedy and ended up losing all my winnings and more of my funds. I began gambling with my usual bankroll in which I've been winning consecutively however I end up getting greedy and tried to bet all in but end up losing. I tried to deposit more funds as I was feeling lucky due to my winning streak however I end up loosing even more amount.

Losing is a great distractor and it will never be gone in gambling because it's we win sometimes or lose at most times.

And that's why it's advisable when we're winning, while we're at the right mind, take those money that you've won and don't settle for continuous gambling if you can't handle yourself later.

But, for sure that you're going to regret that you've lost everything that you've got including the bankroll that you've used together with the wins that you've made.

Gambling is for entertainment and not ever considered to be a source of income or make profits on long term because you would really be finding yourself to get fucked and lost all of your finances if you do have
this kind of mindset or treatment towards gambling which is never been recommendable.When we do play then we shouldnt really make ourselves believe that we could be rich in gambling because that
alone would really be creating that kind of desperate action which would really be resulting into mistakes and errors which you must not done.Worst day would surely come
if you arent really that good on handling out your finances specially when dealing up with gambling.

did you get scammed by a gambling site or someone while gambling?

whatever it is, using loan money from other people to gamble is the least recommended thing. In my city there was once a man of Chinese descent who committed suicide in his apartment because he could not pay his debt to a loan shark, it turned out that he borrowed money to gamble and the loan amount was so large that the loan shark forced him to continue to pay

the money you borrow is not yours, use it for productive things that make money too, put the loan money into gambling is an act of suicide

I don't have such kind of complicated experienced where my personal life is fucked due to my gambling decisions either in real life or online activities.

My worst day in gambling is simply betting my whole balance in the last bet where i ended lossing them lol. I just used it for entertainment purposes but i end of being greedy and tried to bet it all. Although i can't say it's the worst since it's just normal for a gambler.

Even an old-time gambler commits this kind of mistake especially when a gambler is intoxicated or emotionally high.  That is why many gambling experts advise to avoid gambling engagement when drunk or emotionally disturbed, or emotionally uplifted because those are the time when our judgment is at its low point.


Yeah, just let it go and don't dwell on it too much @OP.  You acknowledged your mistake and experienced the outcome of your wrong gambling engagement, I hope it is enough for you to at least think of having self-control when engaging in gambling.

Greed do make things a mess if you dont able to control it and this is why its really important to have that kind of control on ones self.You wouldnt be finding any problems but its normal
to have those days on which you had make some all in bet decision which is really very common specially when emotion do spikes and create that impulsive feeling which ending up on having
those actions which make your capital to be blown up.This is very common, the only wrong thing here is that on the time that you do keep coming back despite
of the situation you are in to.

there are situations where a person makes a decision not driven by greed to win a lot of money, but makes a decision driven by the adrenaline of wanting to beat the bookmaker, for example when a person comes from a losing streak this person will take the remaining balance and he will make a bet with the entire balance, because he wants to beat the bookmaker to recover all the damage, of course, even losing will not harm the person because usually in this type of situation people use money that they can afford to lose, but the problem starts to get worse if the losing streak doesn't stop, in which case the player starts to become frustrated and starts betting with money that he should use in the real world, gambling has always been something to be seen as fun and not something to compete with bookmakers

After all those worst days in gambling, I hope you guys are now learning.

But honestly, even professionals still messing up these days because they are always opened to testing new risks after risks after risks and so on.

In gambling, there are really lots of such stories but as long as we learned from every mistake that leads to one of our worst experiences, we should all be good.

That sounds pretty rough but hey hopefully you learned from your mistakes, we all make them, the important thing though is to just make sure you learn from them.

My worst day was probably when in Lake Tahoe when I was around 21-22 years old. I had a lot to drink this particular evening and spend the entire pile of cash I had brought on this trip on the very first night of it. The rest of the trip was pretty boring so I absolutely learned my lesson lol.

Fortunately for you, the losses were affordable. I know a number of cases where the individual lost his entire life savings with a few hours of gambling. And I have heard about people committing suicide due to mounting debts from gambling. All of us make mistakes and you should consider yourself lucky that this one didn't hard much of a long term impact on you. We learn only from our mistakes. Although I never lost big amounts in gambling, a decade or so ago I lost lots of money in online ponzi schemes and scams. But I have moved on and learnt from my mistakes.

This is without a doubt a heartbreaking story that should exemplify why it is never a good idea to bet money that you actually need to pay for your needs, because when everything is going according to your plan you are very excited about it and it seems that the only thing that you can do is to earn even more money.

But suddenly your luck gets worse and you start to lose money, and that is when people begin to go crazy about it, they simply cannot take the losses they are suffering and instead of accepting that they have taken a bad decision and accept the small losses they are suffering at that moment they keep gambling thinking they are going to recover their money, and as we know this is something that seldom happens.

Not having these complicated stuff where you fucked your life up gambling would only mean you are a proper gambler. Most gamblers are not. People tend to compromise other obligations because of gambling. And the worst day for them should be every other day they have to put something aside just to play .

Worst day of gambling is when you find that you have a gambling problem.

The truth of the matter is that every gambler once had a worst day in his or her life, but there is a popular saying that "What doesn't break you, makes you" and that "experience is always the best teacher", and I'm happy you have had your first-hand experience in gambling, of which I will be pointing out some mistakes which you did, and helpful tips
1. Never gamble with an amount you can't afford to lose
2. Never you think you can win a jackpot by playing continuously.
3. Always know when to quit while gambling, because it's not a do or die affair

Although it is a bitter experience but this losing situation is not only yours but it happens constantly in most of the gamblers gambling life. But we should be learned from such bitter experience, then gambling will be fruitful otherwise nothing but loss. Most causes in gambling is often unconscious when the user panics.

That's called the high risked appetite gamblers, they can afford to lose what's in them without thinking the consequences. That's definitely an extreme example on where your addiction will lead, I think losing your life isn't worth it when you can definitely work for it, those suicide that involves gambling are afraid to face the reality.

Many times I heard bad stories about gambling experiences of people who are in need of money. Most of these stories are about people who are hard to satisfy honestly. We should never forget resources in world are limited and you can't win everything. I suggest people to gamble with low share of their wealth or wage and always consider quitting at one point even if you keep losing. Losing is part of gambling experience you should understand this clearly.

The situation of losing belongs to almost all gamblers who play gambling and we all have experienced it. No matter how much we already lose and have that experience, it is still a loss and we will have a hard time recovering it. And it will be triggered by too much greed that we risk everything and end up losing. Maybe it will be a bad day because we lose control of gambling. But strangely, we keep going back to the casino and playing.

This are the things some people that gambles failed to realize. Gambling is fun but only gamble with enough money that will not make you put in a misery once you lost it. Just like in trading, invest or put money on it which you can afford to lose.
Gambling stories are full of losses because the reality of it is only the casinos are the real winners. Gamblers constantly lossing their money once they losses control of their expenditures regarding the gambling activities.

The losses aren't affordable, there is no way he will graduate with his colleagues. The academy is time, he has to wait for another semester to rewrite those papers again and of course, find a means to raise the money to pay back the school fees.
Why take a life because you lost money, that is the last thing I will ever do because as they say, you only live once, and money may be revived but once a life is lost, there is no other way to wake the dead, therefore everyone should use caution while gambling.

allocating enough money is intended for fun , but once you more more in this ? then that is already what we can call irresponsible gambling.
this is why I stand the same in gambling and trading because on both we can lose if we dont use our brain and heart.
casino will always win but if we knew how to deal with it? then we can be save from other losses .

OP you should really reconsider your gambling addiction, as this is not the first (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5413724.msg60952848#msg60952848) time you are in real danger of it. In addition you have been posting about addiction, so you know that problem. Seriously, go visit a specialist, or you will end badly.

Recently we had a topic here, where guy lost his college money or money to cover credit in one night by repeatedly increasing his bet while trying to win bank. We have such great topic here, such a valuable experience, and people still screw up...

The problem is that is very easy to quit when you start gambling and you always lose,there is no incentive in order for you to continue,some people want to get their money back and they lose even more and become addicted but the majority of people when starting only with loses I have seen they have been able to easy quit.

The real problem is when you start gambling and you hit a couple of big wins in the beginning.After that even if a person loses he reminds himself of the big wins he got and that he hopes he will get even more big wins than those if he continues playing,this brings a lot of addiction to many people unfortunately and this also bring a lot of "worst" days in gambling.

The problem is that this is the experience of other people and everyone thinks that it will not affect him. I also know a similar story when a guy's mother sent a good amount of money to close his debts, and instead he lost them in one day. In the end, he repaid these debts himself, but stretched it out for half a year and now he is holding on, but who knows if this was a good lesson for him, or he may continue to do it again in the future.

It's always worst when you are playing with money that you can afford to lose and you are chasing your losses, every time I do these I felt worst and I have a sleeplessness night and I have to cover or pay the price of the money that I use for these two situations as much as possible under any circumstances don't use money allocated for something important, and when you lose it don't chase it, you'll likely suffer from a mental breakdown.

My worst gambling-related day was the day I lost about two months' salary in an hour. I played Martingale then and didn't calculate the initial bet, which led to the fact that after several consecutive losses I simply had no money left.

This situation allowed me to gain precious experience that will be with me for the rest of my life.

Any day spent gambling in an online casino can be the worst for you if you have a sufficient amount of funds available to you and a desire to win, especially to try to win back lost bets, you need to be very careful with this.

I also had been victimized by the promise of Martingale many times. For me the most painful part of doing Martingale is when your remaining funds are already small enough that you cannot anymore double your next bet. This has been a common experience to many gamblers. What makes it particularly painful is that your desire to recover your losses will have to stop. You have no choice left but to accept that you need to go back to step 1. I usually feel lazy and unexcited when this point comes.

Make your worst experience in gambling the most valuable lesson in your life. Nothing forbids you from gambling at a young age, the important thing is that the money used to gamble does not cause new problems later in life. When you profit from a bet you should be able to think more realistically or when you start losing in a few rounds you immediately stop to avoid a bigger loss.
This is human nature, when you make a profit you want to get more, but when you lose, you will continue to bet in the hope of getting back the money that has been spent. Remember, gambling should prioritize common sense, not lust.

Usually gamble should be conducted by a certain amount of money that they can lose. But if someone forgets this basic idea and gambles with the hope of profit, then he can face a worst day any time. If one can do money management in gambling then good results can come to some extent. Naturally gambling depends entirely on luck so any kind of worst situation can be imposed on a gambler.

Our worst experience will be our best teacher. For sure, you will not learn your lesson if you haven't been through that kind of situation but the good thing is, you survived and were able to face that experience bravely. We've all been through a bad day in gambling because not every day could be lucky for us. Some of us have been scammed while others used their borrowed funds and lost them and some gamblers also used the money that is intended to use for other things, all those things happen because of putting all our hope in gambling which for me is a wrong mindset. We should always keep in mind that gambling has a huge risk of losing everything we have.

Generally agree with you and a few pages earlier I described a similar experience that happened to me.
But what does it mean not calculated the initial bet? Whatever initial bet you come up with, sooner or later it would turn out that your deposit would run out. Martingale always works like this.

No any worst day in gambler's life than when he make some loss but not only an ordinary one bit a big and huge one whicg serve a blow on the face, now not even the loss that actually matters most but using the money not meant for you in your disposal to gamble big and loss everything, going back home will be the worst fierst condition to take a step going back home because nothing left to meet at home while the casino have enjoyed eating or taking away all the money away from you, one willl feel like giving the casino an attack to take back his money might even cause trouble at the casino hiuse just because of vexation but all comes to naught because what's gone cannot be recovered as at the moment, crying with great regret becomes inevitable for the gambler and taking a step back home becomes difficult as well  ;D

novice gamblers just want to make a profit without knowing they are entering a dangerous area. They use the money they still need for other purposes and want to make a profit on the first try. This is indeed a bad start, because beginners like this will only deposit their money for the bookie and there will be no return. regarding financial management on gambling, of course, it must be done because there is an allocation of money for gambling and it must not exceed that allocation and that is a rule that must not be violated. luck will only come when they do not experience any burden and can still think that defeat will also come, they must be prepared.

If you actually learned from ot then, the lose has profited you in some way. In a way that you know when to draw the line and be sure to keep to it. You try not to compromise and you would be good otherwise, it won't be your last time loosing a 2 month salary in an hour, now that's painful you know. A hard earned 2 months and worst if you've got family that are hoping on that money.

Gambling can be really tricky and that's why it's best played by matured minds and not just adults by age. Too bad the online restriction relies on you just clicking I'm over 18 and we can't place a line on maturity/discipline.

You are right, that the basic rules of gamblers determine the minimum amount of money to use in gambling so that we are not burdened with thoughts even the psychological effects of losing from gambling, another rule we only enjoy gambling for entertainment and do not collect high profits. I think the OP should consider not using school fees to gamble and he's still a teenager better focus on education, it's not advisable to approach the gambling environment area although I don't know about your state's regulations for age restrictions of gamblers.

No doubt, the worst day in the life of a gambler is when he is losing, and the bigger his losses are the more difficult he takes it. For me losing my $2000 bank roll was the worst day of my gambling life. But analyzing it also helped me realize that I had made a few mistakes and my biggest mistake (total action) cost me 50% of my bankroll on that day. So, if you are going to play or attempt to beat the casinos, make sure you are disciplined and do not increase your bet when you are chasing your losses. That's the most costly mistake I made with my bankroll.

I don't honestly have a worst day in gambling, just a few rather mediocre level losses that probably burned me for a while and actually did well to discourage me from gambling away any higher amounts. When I hit the $50-100 losses in a day, that is enough for me to bail out and probably choose a different activity for a long while. It's happened in a couple poker sessions over the years, it's happened when switching from football betting into horse betting and not understanding that the chances of winning are calculated completely differently. Guess I've been fairly fortunate but also never had a desire to gamble at any higher levels because the risk is not worth the reward to me.

Same here, you wont really be ending up having the worst if the money you had burned or loss overall is something that you had prepared for it to loss on that particular session which is something that really needs to have in someones mind whenever they do play gambling in the first place on which if you do have accepted your fate and dont expect something in terms of profits then you wouldnt really make yourself to be that
impulsive and instead you would really completely stop once you do deplete out all of your balance.Worst day would really be happening if you are really thriving or doing your best to make profits as much as you could.
Well, in gambling then it would really be that a very common behavior since we do really love to make profits but we know that gambling is something high risky thing to be dealing off with.

That would have been an exhausting day I guess? It's not really a safe strategy, it just eats up money and once triggered most people will leave  nothing else on their own money dashboards. Should be an expensive lesson you get there but I think it's worth because right now you're more conscious when it comes to gambling.

You gambled with your future and that was extremely unacceptable. But I understand; youthful exuberance. I would never have gambled with my school fees because as a student my academics was my topmost priority.

Anyway, I gambled once with my entire daily wage and I really regretted my action because I lost. This experience is a memorable one because they job I did to earn that money was risky and very tedious. I had to work under the rain just to earn a little cash. In the process of doing the job, a man came and convinced my supervisor and me that he had some pool numbers that were sure bets. After much delibration, my superior tipped him and he gave us the numbers. After receiving my pay I rushed to the gambling house. The most painful part of it was that none of the numbers played.

Most people forget about it especially when they are on the momentum where the game is intense and they will more likely ignore the fact about that simple rule and regret it later. It's really hard to regret especially when you realized you cannot get back what you've lost that easily. Later on, more regret will come when you are in need of that money you've just lost. So it's really better to assume that you need to prevent yourself from doing those things than to think about the remedy later because sometimes it doesn't exist.

It was natural that they would forget about it because of the fun factor they had already gotten. But that won't apply to people who enforce strict rules for themselves to keep from losing too much. Playing gambling with money management within a certain limit is highly recommended for every gambler, whether a new or old gambler, so they can avoid losing a lot of money in gambling. We already know that gambling will depend on luck that will come to us so by considering that luck factor, we try not to expect too much to get a lot of wins. Later there will be time for us to get that many wins so we should enjoy the gambling game while limiting ourselves so we don't lose a lot of money.

My worst experience in gambling happened on my college days. I was new to crypto that time and looking for some source of income that can provide financial assistance to my studies. I stumbled to a sportsbetting website and checked how it work. A money line bet got my interest because the mechanics of the game are very simple, you just need to predict what team or player that is going to win the match, usually the team with lower odds is likely to win the game. I asked my friend who also knows bitcoin to send some to me and I will pay him in cash when we see each other. I can't remember how much exactly is the value he send to me that time but it was 0.002 btc and I managed to make it 0.01 just by betting on lower odd teams. I was very happy that I can't contol myself out of excitemement. On the last game I put a bet on, I went all-in thinking that if I will win, it would give me profit half of my current capital. But after few minutes and I haven't receive any amount, I look at the bet history and found out that I lose the game. It was evening that time and I wasn't able to sleep until morning. I always keep thinking about it for few days and regret what happened.

Playing all-in always leads to the same result, no matter if it's gambling or trading... I don't know if it's fair to say that I had the worst gambling day, because I always played for small money and even though I don't like lose, but I can't say that it became a tragedy for me. Probably when I lost my entire deposite, I also could not sleep for a long time, but it was a good lesson for me, playing all-in always = loss of money.

Even when i win at gambling i know how to stop myself. I would never gamble any money i need. Maybe i can't make a lot of money because i don't take risks. But i know myself. If i gamble with the money i need and win, i will continue to gamble. I know very well that if you don't set your stopping point you will hand over your earnings to the table. I'm constantly thinking about possibilities. For this reason, i did not make much money in gambling but i did not lose money that i would regret. The reason for this was the player cards gambling that i played with my friend at a young age. You know player cards were famous in childhood. I gambled with my friend to collect more cards and i lost all the cards i had. I had no financial loss but it was a great lesson for me.

I remember how I have lost my collection of Turbo chewing gum inserts in obviously loosing bet. I cant remember exactly what were the rules and story behind, but all that I remember was me bluffing and to look cool among kids, I have accepted bet. And I was sky to say no, did not want to lose gained that day reputation :D Even though now I remember that case with a smile on my face, but that day I though my life has stopped, as I was collecting and gambling to build my collection during a year or more.

sometimes our intuition points us the correct direction but our brains end up being stubborn and don't listen to it
quite a difficult thing to master.

this story also reminds me that sometimes when we lose, we win
so maybe you could learn something out of the situation

Just as we have worst fays in gambling same we still have the better days there also, most of us like to only talk about the bad experience but go on mute whenever the luck works on our side on the better days, this is common I think in most settings ad well, i believe every gambler has a story to tell with his experience in gambling both the good and the bad, but what remains constant with gambling is loosing and what a gambler often benefitted is the pleasure in gambling.

Yeap, I've learned that day, that it is hard to earn money. I think I was 5 or 6 years old. I've earned that money by collecting garbage (sort of a cleaners helper), keeping change after helping during shopping, doing other house work for small money (lol). Not to mention time, nerves and etc spent on building my collection. Cant say that this was a very valuable lesson, I think I've learned the value of money to early.

Losing all of my job paychecks in a few hours in a high stakes cash game and being in a slightly drunken state that left me out of control and unfocused.
and then I work hard to make up for the loss by working in one of the car washes after I get home from work which only gets a car or two just enough to eat and a few cigarettes, this is a very bad thing for me. Because I spent all my newly received salary on gambling for only a few hours and was a little drunk and I felt very tired after coming home from work having to work again to cover my losses and for my needs for one month.

After experiencing such a heartbreaking experience after spending school money on gambling, you can think subjectively when going to take an action based on the experience you have had. Not all actions that we think are right can go according to plan, because every action will never be free from risk. Gambling using hot money is not recommended, especially if you use school fees. I can understand how you feel after spending all your school fees on gambling, it must be very frustrating to have to find replacement money as soon as possible. Inevitably you have to accept this harsh reality, this experience will always be recorded in your head and you will be more careful about using hot money for something that does not necessarily guarantee a return.

Experience is indeed a valuable asset. This oddity amazes me - everyone knows that Martingale does not work, but everyone tries it and only after personal unsuccessful experience they abandon this strategy. It happened to me and it happens to many other gamblers. Perhaps this is due to the fact that people tend to evaluate themselves as "special" and wait for a miracle. After they lose the deposit, they return to reality and no longer give in to dreams (this is in a good case, in a bad case they believe that next time everything will be different and they will be lucky).

It must be very difficult, my friend, I hope the same thing doesn't happen again to you, my friend.
You should not repeat the same thing (playing gambling in a drunken state). In a conscious state sometimes we can't control our emotions in the game, especially when we're drunk, it's very clear that all these things will happen quickly. We must avoid this kind of thing, which used to play for fun but in the end we have to feel worse because of our own carelessness.

This is really strange to me how I could ever used the fund meant for something important to gamble and lose everything. I think this happens as a result of addiction in gambling and having great expectations. We shouldn't always have great expectations in gambling since we are only playing to have better luck and chances to make profits.
This kind of experience is happening everyday and we need to be very careful to ensure that we are not going to fall in this kind of addiction that could make us loss every single money we ever have with us.

Everything should really be having limitations and specially if you are spending up those funds came from your salary then it would be just common sense that you should really be that
mindful on how you would really allocate funds for your leisure needs which it would really be just common sense that you should really not make yourself spend too much
or else you would be fucked up in terms of your finances.Worst days would always be happening because dealing with gambling in longer runs would just mean out on losing,
house do always win in the end thats why dont push yourself too hard or else you would suffer.

It is common sense for one to know when the odds of a win in a day are in ones favor or against them. Losing is the pain that every gambler must experience before even tasting the delicious rewards of a win. Those who feel so called 'special' and always hope on miracle after gambling recklessly often end up sadder than then they began the game.
I don't take or play gambling like a do or die affair. In this way I am not tormented by the regret of losing on a game I should have won, if I played this, instead of that.

I have read the same experience with the others that they've spent the salary they've just received and lost it all in gambling.
This isn't just all in the web stories but in the real life, I've known a lot in the circle of my friends and friends of friends that are like this. It seems that they can't help themselves anymore and they can't stop it due to the addiction they are experiencing.
Eventually, when they've been stuck with the reality that there are no other people that will help them to get up, they've tried to mitigate it and gradually overcome it.

Totally a waste,eh?
People never ever learn which some of people do really still continue to play despite of the financial situation they do have.Who would really be on their right minds
on spending up their hard earned money from work into gambling? Losing it all in a matter of short time
It would continue until you would bust up everything and this is the time you would really be stopping since you dont have anymore funds for you to make use.

The worst thing when gambling is of course too selfish to expect victory and choose shortcuts to multiply money, because basically gambling is risking money to play.  In addition to having the courage to accept the consequences, we must also be able to play calmly and not act rashly.  besides that we must be able to avoid using money that should be used for other needs.  obviously Op did the wrong thing because he was tempted to double his money on gambling, this of course has often been done by some people when there are needs and have a short mind.  but most people will definitely experience the same thing when in conditions like Op, because the main goal when gambling is not to have fun but to expect to get a big win from it so that it ends up tragically losing everything

commonsense is not that in effect once you are talking about gambling addict , though OP's age cannot be considered addicted when that time happens yet? this is something that concerns His parents.
but mostly ? there are what we called as Beginners luck in which newbie gamblers tastes that delicious rewards first before taking the complete losing streak in which we mostly experience most.
if you are going to enter gambling then we must be expecting losses as well.

Terrible terrible experience indeed. That means you need to work 2 jobs in a day just to keep up yourself for the current month as you have lost everything including that budget to feed you for the whole month?
Well, in that case, that must have been taught you a very valuable lesson?
Fortunately, I have never experienced that. What I had before, when I was still single, which was like 15 years ago. I've lost more than half of my salary in an expensive bar where there were a lot of good billiard players. I did not drink too much as I've spent it on betting matches (due to frustrations) where I eventually lost after a series of matches.

This experience is known to almost everyone of this platform. Many gamblers have given most of their earnings from the job to gambling every month ‍and lost with in short period of time. Basically such things happen when a gambler is not aware of some basic concepts of gambling. They should learn about it and it has to be used in a discipline manner.

Speaking of selfishness, I think it has happened to some gamblers who continue to gamble and hope to multiply their money through some gambling games. After getting a few wins or losses, one can become selfish because they are tempted to get more wins or recover from losses regardless of how big their chances of getting them are. This is what is experienced by many gamblers out there. This ultimately leads them to bankruptcy and will be realized when their money runs out on the gambling table. And before we experience or have experienced it, we better know ourselves and not force our will to continue gambling and stop immediately before things get messy.

Make the bad experience a valuable lesson, remember gambling is not something you can easily win every time, even when we master the game we can lose.
Mastering emotions is not easy but it must be applied by gamblers to avoid big problems.

I guess that's why it's called gamble, because we really don't know what will be the outcome and as human, we have the tendency to test it for ourselves, take the risks and see how it goes. If it goes in our favor, then good, but wait, we will not stop because we are being played but our emotions and we decided to try and continue. And then it goes on and on, until we get addicted experience the worst and later we will have to decided if we wanted to continue or not. For some of us, we already learned out lesson very well and we won't venture on that kind of thing because we don't want to mess our life again.

I never had any worse or extreme experience of gambling, it is just normal loss and normal wins. I have never won big and I have never lost big, this is because I gamble moderately. The reason why I gamble moderately and responsibly is because the environment and family I grew up, it is a sin to gamble. Even as I am now old enough to gamble and have relocated from my parents, I still have that feeling of not doing the right thing when I gamble and that is why I only do it for fun.

In betting, we must use cold money (money that is not important in the near future, or even now), so if we lose in a bet, we can give it up more easily.

I have many to share and its always been on two things, chasing my loss and gambling money that I can't afford like your story, and is always the worst day and can be considered a nightmare, its very irresponsible for gamblers to chase loss although we cannot avoid it and gambling money that we can afford to lose which is something we always do.

In the process of gambling is very difficult to stop so people so often lose all the money. The only thing that can help to avoid such situations is to limit the money allocated to gambling. For example, you can allocate to gambling $100-200 per month and not exceed this limit (actually this amount depends on how much money you do not feel sorry, because with a high probability you will lose them). If you cannot limit yourself and spend much more than you have planned, then most likely you already have a gambling addiction and you need to fight it.

That is called the addiction.We become addicted to gambling without us realizing it,we think everything is O.K with us and we are not at all addicted,we can control ourselves and we can stop gambling any time we want.The fact that despite we are saying these things we go and keep chasing our lost money and by doing so we risk other money we cannot afford to lose it simply means we have become addicted.I was addicted until not long ago but an event where I played slots without getting any emotion in the long run made me quit completely.Sometimes everyone needs such event in order to start thinking and stop gambling.

When you say worst day I think it means a normal loss but in your case it can be called as a worst moment because the money that you have lost is your school fees, so the moment is kinda unforgettable.

That is the magic of gambling. It will make you think that you can double or triple your money but the truth is that your chances of winning is only small. I think you are addicted on gambling already and you use your allowance first before you end up touching the money that supposed to be for your tuition fees. Im curious if what happen to you later on op? Did your parents find it out? Did you go back to your previous school level again? Or maybe you are more successful now? Because I often heard stories about those people who quit school but became millionaires and billionaires later on.

That's really a sad incident and I can understand the tension and anxiety that you faced while playing and then losing in gambling. Well, everyone thinks that gambling is a quick money making game, but we realize it later that it is not so easy to make money from gambling.
You can lose money more often in gambling then winning.

By the way, since you do not earn in those school days, what did you tell to your parents, where the school fee money is gone  ::)

You better forget those stories because more often than not they are about people from rich families. "You don't want to study, oh my precious, don't worry we'll make you a famous pop singer or a successful restaurateur." And it works, but only if your family has millions USD to back you up.

There's no excuse for risking the money you need for your education.

Actually I had an extra semester, this was my punishment for using my tuition fee in gambling. I paid my tuition fee myself during my extra semester as I can't tell my parent what happened, if not it will be a big problem in my family because they don't even know that I gamble. It was really a hard lesson for me.

Well, I once won $5000+ on a Slot and I was in the clouds with the win.... I withdraw some of that money and I deposited it onto another online gambling site that hosted one of my favorite games (Crash) ..... I then played for a while and I accidental clicked on maximum bet and did not notice it... until my whole balance was gone.

I went into full degen mode from anger and I withdraw more money from the site where I won the $5000 and deposited it again.... played for 5 hours and lost it all in one day.  >:( >:( >:( >:(

Losing is very common thing to happen in gambling, I will not take it worst day in gambling.
I would prefer to say that the worst day in gambling is whenever I break my own rules in gambling.
It is when I did not stop while I should stop in both winning or losing situation.
The decision I made to continue gambling while I should have stopped is the worst thing for me.

Why didn't you remember your ability before doing this? What you have done it is look like being addicted to gambling. Don't get become addicted to gambling take this as a entertainment purposes. Investing on gambling is highly risky and before investing on it. We should mustn't forget how much our ability is, because the first rule of gambling is to invest as much as you can afford to lose, I think you will keep this in mind from now when you will go for gambling in nexttime.

That is very exhausting and stressful to your part. I have my own part of experiences of accidentally clicking the maximum bets. Some of them I won but many of them I lost. But the amount of those games were not the same to yours. $5,000 is a big money to gamble it all in just one single day. You were carried away by your emotions reason why you came back attempting to regain your losses but you lost more. It's not true that the house always win but they have very high probability of winning.

I think you will learn a lot from your experience, I have also played on gambling sites but never used my own capital, usually there are gambling sites that provide free coins from airdrop events or promotions for new users so I play there until I win, but the more the longer I played there the more curious I was to raise the bet, so I lost and it didn't make me sad because from the start I wanted to play gambling to just have fun not make money, actually by playing gambling we have to be ready to lose and accept losses

The first thing to understand is that earning in gambling on a permanent basis few people get. Of course you may be lucky and you will win a large sum, but the probability of such an event is negligible. It is necessary to perceive a loss as a payment for the game and then gambling will bring pleasure. You pay for a ticket to an amusement park, a movie or a ride on public transport, the same rules apply to the casino - pay money.

That's so good for you! Not all people have that kind of mindset because I admit that I have had my share of worst days in gambling in the past years as aside from luck, I'm also struggling to limit myself because I'm thinking that I should get what I lost or greed takes the lead that's why I eventually lost more. Gladly, I managed to overcome those habits and I only gamble rarely nowadays.

I think there is a better term for that and it is greediness.  Due to greediness, a gambler tends to bet more and gamble his winnings in hope of getting more winnings.


I quite agree that we need to accept any result from our gambling activities.  We need to accept them and move on so that we can avoid the scenario of chasing losses.  Whether we win or lose in our previous gambling activities, we must start fresh everytime we engage in gambling activities.  Of course we also need to trace our funds movement and plan for our next action responsibly.


Obviously, it is wrong and I believe OP also acknowledges his mistake.  I also think that every gambler here in the forum had their own version of OP's story which serves as a stepping stone in getting a better adjustment in their gambling activities.

First of all, I apologize in advance for what I'm about to say, but your "worst day in the game" only happened because you gambled with money you couldn't afford to lose.
We are all tired of saying and hearing: "don't bet more than what you can lose", but there are people who still insist on doing the opposite and that's why we are reading your report.
You were very lucky to start out winning, and you should have stopped when you got back to your starting bankroll... because in the end the house always wins.

Let's see. There's a new gambling site before here that offers a big welcome bonus for free for just typing the username on their welcome thread.

I successfully managed to reach the required wager and my total earnings rise up to BTC0.8 although at that time the exchange rate is not that high. Instead of withdrawing, I continue to gamble and lose it all although I didn't lose it in an instant.

Lesson learn greed is not good at all times. If beginner's luck hit, take advantage of it right away.

I have also experienced some unforgettable losses way back then but I must say, it’s not as worst as you experienced OP. And the fact that playing all-in could contribute more losses than expected that will eventually drain whatever you have in your pocket, and sad to say OP fall for this. The reason why we should never chase our losses whether in gambling or trading, once we think our luck has gone out, it’s better to call it a day and return some other day for a new hope and luck.

It was a very big mistake, you can't use school fees for gambling.
You must understand that the chance to make money from gambling is very low. You are too confident if you think it will be easy to multiply money on gambling. Even experienced gamblers won't use their primary money for gambling, they must use the extra money for gambling purposes.

However, you must take a big lesson from that worse day. In the future, you must use safe money for gambling, never use primary funds. You must know that a gambler needs to know how to manage their gambling budget and has good self-control. So, no excessive gambling to happen, no primary money to spend in gambling.

We have different experiences in terms of the worst day ever in our life. One of my experiences is having a good winning streak in the slot games, and because of too much hoping to win the game, I tried to make an extension to the game I'm playing, hoping to get another profit at the same time, and upon this is I make a set with the automatic spins, so it's didn't too much hassle to me to spin. I forgot those set large amounts and continuously bet losing instead of having a good bet and profit; it's loss and negative gains.

And that will make us addicted after playing gambling for a while and we can't control the addiction. Many people have experienced that experience. Still, most people probably realize what addiction is and whether they have really got addicted because all they do is seek pleasure from gambling. The longer we gamble, the greater the chance that our emotions will escalate and become out of control and it's only a matter of time before things become completely unstoppable.

Agree with you. I think we can control the losses by allocating a certain amount of money to gamble every month and really sticking to it. The amount of money mentioned must be adjusted to the state of the funds we have because there may be some people who don't use that amount of money, including me, to play gambling. Thus, we will not be very sorry when we lose playing gambling and will still really limit ourselves in playing gambling.

yes sometimes luck will not always be on our side every time, always be a person who is not greedy too, all return to their respective goals in gambling, I think to use free money looking for fun in gambling is something safer than losing money if experience defeat, so enjoying it is just for fun nothing more

^ It is a very simple answer, put a limit on yourself and discipline yourself as much as possible.
However, we have a lot of worse days in gambling but I think not that worst because I know how to control myself from eagerness. Only gamble on what you can afford, either win or lose, it will not hurt your wallet. Sometimes if I feel that luck was not on my side, I take a break and come back when everything was right. If you gamble based on luck games, the chances of losing your fund are very high.

In gambling it always gives us great hope to get something we want, but sometimes it is not easy for us to have even we lose valuables to be able to get more than the goods, and we must have awareness when playing if we have gained an advantage then no longer force to continue the game that is greater than the profit, don't be too ambitious because not everything we hope we can get.

In gambling, there are really risks. You have to know them to avoid encountering and if ever you do encounter them, minimize their effect. I have a bad experience too in gambling. This one would be categorized in gambling more than what you can afford to lose. I happen to know that it is risky to invest and bet in something that you are not knowledgeable of, but I still risked the chance. Way back, I was one of those who are curious and explorative but not really strategic so instead of it becoming the success I'm dreaming of, it became a nightmare.

I risked into investing in NFT back then without really digging proper background of it. The hype it got was at its peak so I decided to give it a try. However, shit really happens from time to time and it slowly faded into background. Although it's still ongoing until now, I don't have the confidence that it will soar as high as before. Or even soar a little because of the short demand of it. But the good thing about it is I learned my lesson. It's just that I learned it the hard way. Since there's no point in crying over a spilled milk, I just licked it and started over again. You see, in every tragedy, we learn a lesson or two. And I think that's the most important part. Although if you can, do your best  to learn from others experiences and mistakes so you won't suffer the same hardship, unless you are a masochist.

I admit that when we won a game and maybe when we get a winstreak that's the time we will have the feeling that we need to play and play more because there's a possibility that it is our "lucky day", so when we experience losing in a particular round we feel that we need to gamble again just for us to get back what we already lost, it is very hard to discipline ourselves but that is the thing we need to do.

Damn, that is surely bad. I know a person who did the same and he basically emptied all his college fees in something.
Just like you even he was not allowed to write the exams. But I hope you learnt a lesson from this event and never repeated such an act.
Gambling is not a bad thing but it's definitely bad when we do it over the limits.

Definitely, it is true. I will never call gambling as bad. It is undoubtedly a good thing if you can keep yourself entertained for a while in this mechanical life. But whenever it crosses the limit of entertainment, it is no longer normal. Makes life miserable. So those things should be avoided. So don't try to exceed your limitations.

Can't say waste totally because in the first place we intentionally did it and I believe we feel the rush every time we put those quarters in the machine and then seeing those reels roll in our very own eyes. Waste is when you lost your money in the streets by accident. That is more painful because you didn't have fun or anything.

Realizing that you don't have any money left and then you need to work hard again for the next 13 days or so to get your next salary should wake you up from the reality and you will think twice again next time from playing gambling recklessly. We can do some practice like paying our bills first or do the groceries first before we play if ever playing gambling is unavoidable, so that we won't worry once we lose all the money that is left.

Your story is really touching, and I hope it serves as a lesson to you and every other persons that will come across this.

Such a thing has never happened to me, because I am an occasional gambler, this is to say that, I only gamble when I have some extra money I don't mind losing, gambling shouldn't be seen as a means of making money, just gamble for the fun of it, and if you win money in the process, then that's your luck, and never try gambling with money you can't afford to lose.

As much I think that people should be free to gamble, it is also true that people need to exercise a lot of caution when they do it, it is very easy to think that somehow you will be able to overcome the odds and make money when you gamble, but the truth is that this is something incredibly difficult to do that only a handful of professionals can accomplish, so anyone else that is thinking about making money while they gamble is only looking for trouble, which is what happened to you.

stop when we were in profits was an obligation for us, continue on next day and enjoy our profits today. keep spinning was not good solution for us , goal seeking profits must keep reminded. consistent earning profits no matter it just small amount would be better than got huge profits at once but after that we lose .

When a gambler wins too much on one day and continues there, he cannot bring in that winning money. Because in excessive gambling, that money will go again and there is also a risk of losing his capital. That's why the word in gambling is often heard is "control". If a gambler can control himself then he will get success in gambling.

Self-control is really important especially if you're in winning streak and already profit. We think we're going to be lucky if we continue to play not knowing it's a mistake because you were not able to enjoy your winnings. You'll only realize the mistake after losing it all. This is common in gambling because of our greed to gain more. So gamble in moderation to not have an experience that you will regret later on.

I do not gamble with money that will affect my life. I have my own limits. Also, I generally manage to hold my own in this regard, but once I gambled with borrowed money and lost. After that day, I never did anything like that again. Sometimes the bad experiences we have can be a good lesson for us.

You have been able to control yourself which many people are not naturally capable of. In Gambling If someone gambles depending on his income, even if he loses there, there is no effect. But when gambling is done by borrowing money, complications can arise. Which never happened before with your life. You have succeeded in this aspect.

One of the best classic examples why we should only gamble when we have some spare funds, we already know that the money we had is already allocated specifically and we shouldn't use it for other reasons aside from emergency purpose. Although I can't really blame what the OP did because we have our own share of story and I don't if someone can relate but personally, most of the time, I think fate will be playing against us if we're using some funds that aren't allocated for gambling.

Many people don't understand this. Once they win some amount in gambling, they are willing to win more on the same day and that is where they miss the trick. Usually, when you are greedy, you won't win in gambling. Better quit gambling after winning some amount and try your luck again tomorrow with a fresh mind. Anyways people don't learn from their mistakes and keep on repeating the same mistake over and over again.

Not everything is negative, what we can draw as a conclusion is that obviously when we play long-term in a single day, we are going to make losses, that is something very true, second, if we start to see ourselves, slots should be played with a lot of money. Caution, if you see that there are profits, there is no one who pioneers to invent, some think that it is their lucky day, that we are invincible and that is the worst mistake of all, if there is an error that can cataput us towards failure, it is that, if there is winnings on a slot machine, it is best to take those winnings and not play more, and if you play more just play with as little money as possible.

I think the core of all this is because when a person plays in a casino, he is always thinking that he will win, that he will always have good options and does not take into account that he will lose, so if a person has more money than normal, he will say likewise, that he will risk that money because he is sure that he will win and it does not work like that, things are very different when you are in front of a game where anything makes you believe that we will have good luck, risk management is very important, we cannot leave everything adrift, when it comes to money it is better to do things right because otherwise the bad times will be very often and unpleasant.

Play expecting not to win most days until you find yourself lucky or on a good streak and then only then increase your rate of play or size.   Makes sense to learn all the games first using small amounts, in an actual physical casino it might be a bit embarrassing to use tiny amounts but online play as you wish till you find a path to make betting larger worth it.

My general take on life is, anything we are not fully grateful for we lose.   Some of the richest people are not fully grateful and so are not happy or appreciative of all they have won in life, the correct path to winning on any game is to appreciate and be thankful for any luck at any size you play on.  If patience is kept and the game is learnt when it really matters you have the correct weighting in your head to know when to take the gamble or to avoid risk.

The number one rule of gambling is risk what you can afford to lose. To start with, you made a silly decision by playing with your school fees. Secondly, whenever you're gambling and there's a serial lose please take a break and not trying to recover your lose else you'll end up losing all.

Expectations leads to disappointment so it's better to not expect winning on your gambling activities and aim for enjoyment instead so you won't feel bad whenever you lose but still be able to enjoy winning. I also try to do this every now and then however I often feel disappointed whenever I've been gambling for a long time and won some amount but end up losing.

It's better to also know when to stop gambling especially when we are already on a profit so that way we can maximize our pleasure as well as be able to earn and avoid loses.

remembering from the experience I had when I was very young and didn't have a good experience with gambling then I can't judge those who can't control themselves when gambling

when we are feeling very lucky (when always win) or want to reverse capital (when we are experiencing defeat) then we will not stop gambling until the remaining capital runs out. knowing the moment when to stop is very important, don't be too confident especially when playing slots

This is exactly the very worst day.
Sometimes, our greedy desires will actually make us even lower. many incidents like this, using money that should be for certain needs to gamble. I often wonder if these people don't think twice about doing it. But I am aware that when we have been hit by excessive lust and greed, such thoughts or considerations will disappear before the arrival of regret. And finally, the regret of this gambling loss will always happen when bad things have happened.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, with your example I see that if the person does not have control of himself, he can lose everything he has.
Luckily I don't have any bad memories about gambling, I've never been one to bet a lot of money, I just gamble just to pass the time and have fun sometimes!

When it comes to betting/gambling, never bet what you can't lose!

Its common sense on which it would really be that you would be fucking up yourself if you dont really make yourself that having good self  control and made out decisions.You wouldn't really be that dumb
on not to be aware on whats happening around specially into your finances.If you do notice that you are on a losing streak then it would be understandable that you should stop.
Dont make things even more worst by stopping completely and calling it a day.Dont make yourself that emotionally impulsive when it comes to gambling decisions.
If you dont like for yourself to be fucked up then you should be mindful on your actions and stick and be disciplined.

Only a few gamblers are able to discipline themselves completely.  Even though I am aware of this thing, there are times when I got out of control where I bet more than I planned.  I know how disastrous it is when we spend more than we can afford to lose on gambling.  I also have a share of this kind of experience but I am lucky I managed to fix things before they become a problem for me.  I learned my lesson from these mistakes and I always try to have a grasp of myself whenever I am engaging in gambling activities.



True it is common sense but there are times when a gambler got trapped in the game.  No matter how hard they try to stop, they got hooked on it for several reasons.  You may not know the feeling of being trapped in gambling but once you experience it I bet you would understand those people who were trapped in gambling activity more.

This is a very simple concept but unfortunately there are many gamblers out there which are incapable of doing something like this, and the main reason why this is the case is because of their false expectations.

There are many people out there that despite all the evidence that you can find on the Internet actually believe they can become profitable if they gamble for long enough, not understanding that something like this is only true for the house, which has an edge over the player, and the longer and more money a player gambles the more money they will lose.

can you share that site mate? just typing username and there will be a bonus?
that is a sad story as well, Imagine gathering 0.8 bitcoin ? that would be at least 15k at this moment and a considered huge amount that had lost because of like what greediness , sorry to hear that.

I myself had this experience in one of my favorite site , I already won 19 hundred dollars but continue to go on till I lost all the funds even my capital.

You have to work on yourself if you want to continue gambling since you already know where you are lacking. Self-control and discipline are important in gambling, you don't have to win all the time, or must win after losses. If you could take care of those and also have your gambling strategies and plans, I believe you will be a better gambler.

That makes the two of us, I don't gamble because I want to make money or be rich the way many have the mindset, I gamble for entertainment, and that is mostly when I am bored. My vast experience in trading makes this easy for me since I earn regularly through it.

I would have loved to read about your experience in gambling, and I can assure you that people will not be surprised as a worse gambler than you exists. I was a full-fledged adult when I started gambling, which might have helped me from being addicted to gambling anyhow. Till now, I always have positive experiences with gambling, the money made might be little but it is not something that calls for regrets.

Gambling isn't an easy way out of poverty. It isn't also a shortcut to become wealthy. Most people have this perception that gambling can be their way to success. It isn't. Gambling has a lot of risks if you want and you are planning for it to become one of your major stream of income. Gambling is a recreational activity that should stimulate relaxation and not stress if you'll only do it right. It can also be your additional source of income if you are good in betting and if you are lucky enough. But I don't really recommend it to be your only way to make money because in gambling, there is no guaranteed winnings. Each time you play against with the house and the odds.

Anyone shouldn't have their hopes up in in playing gambling because it isn't only rainbows and sunshine most especially if you become addicted with it. High expectations could only hurt you. Instead of feeding false positivity, see the reality instead. There are many articles and confessions from true to life experience that gambling could ruin your life if you will let it control you. As much as possible, let's learn from other's mistake and from our past experiences to avoid regretting big time later on.

My was on the 27 May, 2000. That faithful day was our local market day which I gave money to my GF to buy some food stuff for in my house. According to her narration, as she was going to the market, she saw a magic card player mixing the cards and asked the gamblers to pick out the particular card he showed them and said, she saw the particular card and bet to pick out the card after when the man has finished mixing them. And she picked the wrong one. She still play again, hoping to win her money back but she empty her purse and came back late in the day. And when she came there was no food stuff in her hands when I asked her what happened then she told me the story. O men that day. I hold myself not to beat her. But it was painful.

You dont have the right on hurting up a woman specially if shes still your GF or even on being married which it is not something a true man would do.We are really that prone to mistakes and errors since we are just

humans but eventually because of those mistakes we do eventually learn up and gain experience which would really be helpful on making yourself that aware on things which is happening around.

Worst day would really be happening specially on gambling since this would be talking about loss of financial.If you arent prepared on losing those amounts then
make yourself that aware that you would be facing up various situations.

She shouldn't have done that, because we people are getting into different jobs and doing the best of our ability just to have good food, shelter and clothing. She should've stopped, when she found herself losing. Atleast bought the food and spend the rest on gambling. As said for any reason we don't have the right to beat others, and you've controlled yourself which is good of you. Maybe if you've beaten her, she could've took that in the opposite Way. Now atleast she'll understand her mistake.

Yes, that's the problem!
In all my life I never imagined that gambling/betting could become something extremely addictive for a person, even something similar like drugs!

Only when I started to bet/gambling I realized this is extremely harmful for the human, if he doesn't have control of himself and especially his impulses, he can have several problems, not only psychological, but financial and with his relationships

It seems to me that every gambler had such a period in his life when he thought about whether he could make money on this, so that it would be the main source of income. But in practice, I quickly dispelled this myth for myself (I'm talking about my experience). Perhaps someone succeeds, because there are successful traders and other complex professions where you can earn a lot of money, but not many can do this, this is just a small percentage of people, everyone else will be the loser...

We will realize it when we start to get involved in gambling and it makes us addicted and eventually, we will become addicted to gambling. Many people have become addicted to gambling after playing gambling for a long time and are unaware of the changes that have occurred. His mind will be on gambling and he wants to continue, even if it means he has to spend more money.

Therefore, we can only take care of ourselves while playing gambling and try not to be tempted by the various offers from the casino so that we can stop at the right time. This can also prevent us from getting addicted to gambling.

the thing about luck is that we should be grateful when it comes but we shouldn't have to rely on it to succeed
always better to have a plan that doesn't need to count on luck

you are right about not being greedy too
managing emotions is a must

Expecting to much on something not usual to come is sometimes bad since this will create to much expectation which could also lead to disastrous incident on a day. That's why we should never try to extend our game time chasing for luck to come since we will experience a truly bad day in gambling if we lose a huge amount of money and this is truly stressful especially for the beginners. Not being greedy is totally fine and must think about by the people so that they could enjoy the game and have fun with it.

Most people really had that certain point in their lives wherein they thought that something will be their way out of poverty and road to success, but failed in the process of trying to attain it. Most gamblers and even those people who are merely risk-takers already experienced that kind of scenario. It is hard to undergo such because of course, the time, money, and effort you exerted were just put into waste, but that's the reality in risking into something. Sometimes, the odds don't just side in our favor, and that's a hard pill to swallow, but we have to accept it eventually. Learning from the mistakes that we committed unintentionally because of lack of knowledge is what matters. The moment we experienced the hardships, it will make it easier to address the problems that might arise in the future with shifting perspectives and viewpoint.

There are many professions and side hustles which someone can excel to, I agree with that. We just have to find the one that suits us the best. We still have to be careful to avoid trouble and inconveniences despite having many experiences. Earning money is important, but let's not use this thought just to impulsively do things that might bring harm to us instead of good.

The day become more worst when you become more greedy. And you think that you will become a richest person in a single day. More greed more loss.

And the second thing is your luck. If you have a good luck than you can earn more and more. Otherwise will loss everything.

In Gambling we always lose more because we cannot control our greed. When luck favors me once, I continue gambling to get more. Many of us also do multiple gambling at the same time. Due to which large financial losses have to be faced. However, those who are professionals they always accept both profit and losses.

I wonder if betting and poker are removed, what gambling games remain where a professional can earn money (and therefore have such a professional attitude to profits and losses - calmly perceive them)? I can't remember anything else. In slots, dice, roulette, etc. you cannot influence the result of the game in any way, therefore you cannot be a professional in it (even if you calmly accept the result of the game), that is, make money on it.

That's a sad story, mate, and it would be sad for anyone regardless of their income because losing $5,000, even though you just won it, and it wasn't something you were planning spending on tohher things, is painful even for a millionaire.


This is what I hate about unsuccessful gambling: when you lose not only your money, but a lot of your time too. Hope this won't happen to you again.

Yes of course they always do this. I always recommend to play safely and take some profit and get out. Or if you want to bet so I will suggest to bet on sports. Because here your luck matters.

This is a very controversial issue. I also often thought about this, for example: in half a year I won X money on betting. If you distribute it over time and take into account how much time I spent watching the games and thinking about what bet to make, this is a completely unprofitable activity. On the other hand, I spent mostly my free time on this + in return I got emotions and joy from when the results were successful. It's very hard to calculate the "balance" of what you've spent and what you've earned when you look back.

True, and that is one of the worst thing that I hate, during and after gambling. I mean you look forward to play and very excited and probably skip some of what you need to do that day or even your job. And then you play and lose big money, you doesn't feel good, your mind is thinking that you wanted to recoup, you feel lethargic and can't get up in bed and then you call your office or you boss that you are sick and can't go and work that day.  :D

It could be noticed that gambling itself has the good side of it than the bad but it has to be a decision each gamblers should take or choose to follow, the part to having maximum satisfaction in gambling does not onky fomes in when you are making win, it comes when you're been fulfilled that your emotions were set on happy mode by taking leisure in gambling, it also avoid you been idle, bored and unhappy, but when you choose the other side which is bad as well, then comes in many negative experience through your gambling encounters and this start with the inability to maintain a self control in gambling

Greedy is always bad, not only in gambling but also in other activities.
Someone who can't control his desire, moreover thinking nonsense to rich from gambling, better to stay away from gambling. A greedy person will only end up losing everything in gambling. Gambling isn't recommended for someone who still think like a kid, that's why it is for mature people only (18+).

How do we know we will have good luck in gambling?
I don't know if someone should have the good luck to deserve playing in gambling.
I only know that gambling is for people who have good self-control.

Gambling wont really be having a bad side if someone do really accepts the possibility of losing money or making himself in good control with his finances.We know that gambling is just for fun but there

are people who do really go into certain extent on why they do really ending up on getting fucked with it.You wont really be falling into addiction if you dont let yourself go fall into it.

Worst day would come specially if you dont have control into your finances and do keeps on losing even if you are fully aware of that.

But I think even people that have money to lose in gambling will felt differently, I mean it you are very competitive person and you just lost in gambling in thousands of dollars the first thing you want is to try to get it back because of your competitive fire. And this might lead them to gambling addiction though.

And for sure everyone has share their own personal experience, some play for fun, some to really gamble and think of making money. In the end, it's out decision that really affects us whether to have one of the worst day in our life because of gambling, or just walk away from it.

You cannot use gambling fees for anything not only in gambling but just for School payments because this is what it must go, and using this aside from that is the biggest mistake anyone can do.

it is super TIN to make money in gambling , you will be at least one in a  thousand to win while the 999 is the loser.
he already mentioned that he have a  great lesson learned and surely will never act anything stupid as this the rest of His life.

I don't know if anyone knows of such a gambler who hasn't lost after gambling for a long time. I consider it is a very common thing for the people who gamble more will lose.

But sometimes some unusual fact works among the gamblers which is persuasion to recover the loses. If they take a break during this period it can bring them good things. They quit gambling only when their money is almost gone. It is never right to persecute under such circumstances.

 ;D Well... i have not experienced such hard options, but I understand that they are possible. I try to reduce my activity before the onset of such consequences. This season, besides regular betting, I decided to participate in several pools, and it affected me quite a lot - I really started to spend a lot of time thinking about games, bets, etc. As a result, I sharply reduced my activity in this direction and now I feel that I got rid of some kind of "entertainment" that began to turn into work  ;D

Chasing up losses would be always the case and this is what making gambling businesses to be profitable on which these people would be always thinking  that they could really able to recover on what

they have lost.Its indeed a common thing and this what makes people do really continue to play no matter what.As long they do have money to spent then they wont really be that minding about

on how much they had lost.Worst day would come when you dont already have money on your pocket and you do have lost all of your savings and emergency funds on gambling.
This is the true disaster.

I imagine that one of the main factors when a person can become addicted to gambling is greed, the ability to think about getting easy money or when a certain person starts to lose money in gambling and then he loses more money still trying to recover the that she lost.
I believe these are one of the worst starters a certain person can have in gambling (of course this is my opinion)

And for a person to really know if he is addicted to gambling or not, only people from his social bond can alert him, because hardly a person will know for himself that he is addicted to gambling or not.

The feeling that in anyhow they can win or they can recover what they've lot during their stay inside gambling. I mean, it's more on the appetite that those gamblers can handle well. At first they are in the entertaining site but getting deeper with their engagements they start to lose control. There are many cases that people around this industry are unable to end well.

If there are some, maybe they are quiet and simply managing whatever strategy that they've got working with their gambling sessions.

The more you know how to stop and quit, the better the outcome you might have to get while playing gambling.

True every session is different and most session in gambling tend to record losses than winnings.  We only recover due to some huge wins but if records is to be shown, we will see that there are lots of small losses in our records.



That is sometimes, meaning most of the times, thinking to recover loses results in more loses so it isn't wise to chase losses of the previous session.  Instead, always have a fresh new start in every gambling session disregarding the result of the previous games.  Also having a gambling break for sometime when lossing too much is also a good way to break the cycle.  And i don't know if any of you experience a huge win after a long break of gambling.  It doesn't make sense, IMO but it really often happens.



It is profitable for gambling business but destructive to individual that is why it is always advised to avoid chasing losses.

It's always known that when a gambler chases his losses, he'll end up in more losses instead of recovering it. As an individual gambler, you'll have to control yourself and call to stop within the day when you're in the verge of losing more.
There's nothing bad to give up at that day and stop chasing that losses and just think of tomorrow whether you'll win it back or not but don't add to the losses that you've made within the day.
It's true that it could destroy someone when he keeps on having that mindset of recovering the losses because it's hard to do so when the amount is too much already.

I never know a gambler who never experienced a loss after he gambled many times. I think it is almost impossible, luck won't always work, especially for luck-based games. Let's assume you have gambled 10 times, you are probably lucky on 1-2 times only. I imagine if someone already gambled for more than 1 year, they should experience losses many times.

The unusual fact isn't like always winning in gambling, but it is like winning a big jackpot or winning a slot game with a huge amount of money. If you think there is a gambler who always wins, all those gambling sites will bankrupt now.

Nobody can answer that because, yes, luck is always a factor but the challenge is we don't know when will it go in our favor, in that case, we should not rely on that factor because waiting for it will just cause losses along the way. Just like what you said, it's much better to learn to how to control yourself so that greed won't take over and have that proper mindset to know your boundaries.

But that's the factor you need to rely if you playing slots, there's no other way since you're only click spin button and you can't control what the result of the spins. It's different with sportsbook or poker where you need to have decent skill in order to win the game, if you don't have any knowledge to analysis in sports or experienced on poker, you will be lose. There's few professionals who mastered sports or poker, they can make profit in those games.

 In every gambling house, it's advised that one gamble responsibly. It's rare for someone to use money mapped out for something important and use it for gambling instead to come out with smiles, that's why most times, gamblers are advised to use money that can be parted with but will not affect.

 I haven't had any worst experience aside from the occasional loss of a bet that clearly looked like it had chances of winning tho.

You cant tell a luck because no one knows when it comes that only way is you must need to try it like play or risk something more than the usual gameplay by that you can make a good outcome and of course the other consequence loses the game gambling is like a 50/50 chances only so take the risk or lose the chance. It is good always make a gambling plat set a designated amount to play and not just you cant afford to lose, not in a single game you get a huge amount of jackpot.

Just take it easy man. Gambling not only the name of Dice or plinko or other table games.

Our life is also gambling. The person who has a good luck, will live long. Otherwise he/she will die under teenage.

If you are gambling on a match. Suppose a football match. Team A is going well and you are sure that the team A will win and team A has made 2 goals and team B has nothing. In the last three minutes the team B made 3 goals. So what do you about this situation.

In my point of this is the luck. It can be good or bad.

Gambling is like war, it looks like a joke but death is real, that's the world of gambling, many people who are involved in gambling have fun, but the money lost is real, I have faith that everyone has the worst things/moments in gambling, whether it's losing bets and so on.

I personally, also experienced the same thing and the worst thing in my history was betting on online gambling, it happened in 2020, at that time I placed a Man United vs. Tottenham, I placed a bet on Man United all my savings, in fact on the pitch turned 100 degrees Man United lost 1-6 to Tottenham, I was almost frustrated to lose the bet, I had time to think no-no, luckily my family and friends gave me motivation to get back up, after that incident I took a bitter lesson in online gambling betting, it was the worst journey I have ever experienced in online gambling.

I got to know to gamble recently (when I found out about bitcoin), besides that, I have a partner who always watches over me to keep myself under control so that I don't have a bad experience because of gambling except only losing when I play slots.

when you become addicted to gambling then you will not be able to think clearly, that is psychology, you will use the money you have now regardless of what the money is used for or who owns it because all you think about is how to double the money from gambling.

People today see gambling is just entertainment like waging your money to the number or designated thing you want to bet on and wait for the result but most of the experience gambling it is a battle between emotion and decision making once you make a decision must need to stick and deal with it that's why people taking a lot of risk because they see the potential of high reward and profit but the side of it is the high risk option might lose and tons of losses of assets.

Our emotions most of the time are the reason why we're creating decisions that we will regret in the future. We always come up with an unexpected decision because we're carried away by too many emotions. They say that we should handle our emotions when playing but we can't deny the fact that gambling makes us have a roller coaster ride of emotions that we can't control. We're mostly overwhelmed by the result which makes us feel more eager to bet and win again despite all the risks.

It is really hard to fight our emotions in gambling because it is very addicting and once you experience winning you will find yourself betting and betting again, we need to manage our emotions because if not it will be our end and as you say it will be our end. Some people will gamble again and again just to bring back what they lost which will lead them to debt.

A gambler could also experience a doom day if all he has are gone on gambling including what others left in his possession, it will actually be a double trouble coupled together on that same day, it is a good thing to gamble whenever you are in good capacity to do so, it is not a good thing to gamble and later regretting the huge losses that could have been avoided right before the start at all, just as you wouldn't admit someone use your money to gamble then you must not engage using others fund for gambling, there's no guarantee you will always win whenever you play.

Maybe many of us think that gambling is easy and everyone can do it. Only money is needed here. But I think gambling requires not only money but also talent. With money you may be able to make new bets but in those bets sometimes depend on your knowledge. For example, if one does sports betting, he can definitely use talent. Also, a gambler must acquire knowledge to understand when to bet, what position to place, etc. Moreover, a gambler has to accept his losses easily. Because Loser is a very familiar word in gambling.

Someone who wants to win at the gambling table then they will experience defeat, this is very common, in fact I think everyone has the same thought. Indeed, I can't deny that winning is the main goal for some people, because that's what they expect when playing. From there, the greed actually begins, when they lose they try to return the first capital they spend, but it just goes on and on until they realize that what they did was wrong and made the defeat even bigger.
I personally gamble for fun and don't try to chase wins, I have a principle I should stop when I lose a certain amount, so as not to affect my finances.




That's what makes a person uncontrollable, they only focus on the game without realizing they have lost a large amount of money. We have to be good at managing finances when playing gambling, when we have to play when we have to stop. I think everyone is aware that when they lose and have to leave the gambling table, it is their greed that makes them survive even though they have lost.

Anyone who could do that, I mean gamble with their school fees would be someone who joked with their studies. It is an exposed and unnecessary risk, except the person has hope of where to get a replacement if it goes wrong. The little time I gambled in school, I was too scared to go close to my school fees. No one should do that because it can destroy the person's education. What stories are you going to tell your parents to cover it up.

When a person becomes addicted to gambling and greedy, they will try to chase more wins and of course, they will want to earn more money. At that time, they can forget and do not realize that in gambling games, they cannot always get win in every round. They should always be able to control the amount of money used in each spin and immediately stop the game if they feel that luck is not coming their way.

It would be better to do so that they can prevent losing large sums of money than to continue gambling and trying to get the next win. And when they become addicted to gambling, they will not realize that they have changed unless someone around them tells them.

Indeed , But that will save us from losing if we can take out our emotion when In gambling , I can feel this because once i also played using my emotion and this is not the outcome I am looking so yes there will be a way to prevent that by learning what is good and how it will work.
but the perfect strategy? is only to bring small amount or the funds that you can afford to lose and with that attitude you will be safe from losing and becoming addicted.

Depends on the person if you ask me because I was at that situation years ago when I was still in a college. I did gamble my study fee and I know it was wrong but it does not mean that I was joking with my study proven by my graduation at the right time. I did gamble my study fee because I knew that I'll have some money later from my side job (I had a side job when I was college student) so I did not really worry of losing. However I have to say that it was stupid decision to gamble the money I should use to pay my study.

It only happens in theory. In practice, units manage to control the money used for betting in gambling, not to mention the immediate stop of the game. A lot of people will continue to lose until the entire deposit turns into zero. Either the pursuit of winning, or the desire to return the lost will push to this.

Few people are able to realize their gambling addiction. Just as few people can perceive the comments of friends and relatives that they have crossed a dangerous line in gambling and that they need to make changes in their lives. Most often, dependent players are not aware of their situation and the problems that have arisen.

In Sport betting you do have some data to analyze and make a bet, unlike dice and slot games where it is 100% luck to win the game. However, still there is no guarantee that you will win in sports betting. One of my friend who bet on sports have a good knowledge of the sport but every time be bet on match, the opposite teams wins.  :D



Rightly said. You can think of gambling as an illusion of wins and profits, while in reality, it is a bed of thrones where you will constantly lose money with the hope of winning money. Some people think gambling as fun to make money but mostly it gives sorrow when you lose money.
Yes, there are people who do win but those are disciplined people who know how much money to gamble, when to stop, when not be greedy and most importantly they understand the importance of money management.

Gambling sometimes plays the highest role in the emotional space. However, gambling with emotions never bring anything good. We often try our best to win in gambling but it doesn't happen. However gambling will have wins and losses. Gambling by spending more money in the hope of making a big profit spells disaster.

I think we've seen many people lose control of gambling and go home with heavy losses. These people want to chase wins or recover from previous losses and use more money instead of pausing.

Many don't want to listen to advice from friends or even family because they think defeat is temporary and they can recover later. But that's not really the case because if they realized it, they would see that something inside of them had changed and they had to do something about it before it was too late.

My worst day in gambling only had one small and possibly positive effect on me: It made me re-evaluate and analyze how wasteful it can really be, which stopped me going back to it on for a few weeks. After that there was a kind of self-promise never to throw away that rather low sum of money betting again, instead of betting $100 in one day now, the maximum that I tend to go with would be $10. In a way losing that larger amount have saved me many times more money than what actually happened on the day. So you definitely need to keep your losses small and always think about your gambling stakes, no matter how much money you might have in the bank.

This is the nature of gambling and the role of making players emotional is common because then the house will always win because they are playing out of control, and anything related to money betting will have the ambition to get it.
and the key is not to get caught up in the role and only serves to avoid excessive losses, play casually, don't be too serious and just take it as entertainment, I'm sure your gambling will be fine. And when luck is on your side you don't need to go any further to get a full win, it's not as easy as it sounds but if you take it seriously you will master it by playing for fun and not overdoing it. And always stop when you win and don't be emotional to keep playing because the ambition to keep playing to keep winning will actually make you lose everything.

^At that time, during my college days I did not gamble or did not learn gambling like playing poker, baccarat, or any card-related games.
So thinking to gamble your school fees is really insane even though you have a backup fund but I think you cannot cover them all alone, that is why gambling at that was not in my mind.
Definitely right, that was a stupid decision but if you come up with that situation never joke about your study because if you really want to, there are too many ways to have a solution to your problem regarding financial but think about it before doing it.

No matter how I get myself into gambling, I know when to stop, if am winning or losing. My experience in gambling made me figure that out. Nothing syphons money more in a twinkle of an eye than gambling. I know how many times, I have lost countless times when gambling.

My experience in gambling has made me come to the fact that a gambler should gamble for fun not gamble with his whole money, to avoid unpalatable stories. Gamble with a minimum amount that you can afford to lose without problems

That is the right way to look at things, compared to the cost those which are addicted have to pay, learning to be more moderate on the amount of money and time that you dedicate to your gambling activities for only 100 dollars is a very cheap price, and even if at the time you were not happy with what happened over the long term you have saved much more money than that, so people should not worry too much when something like this happens to them as those are the kind of lessons you never really forget.

We the gamblers should know the reality and act accordingly. The house is designed in such a way to win against the players. At the beginning there won't be losses, but the same changes with time. Soon the winning momentum can gets disturbed. For this reason we should not get into gambling having some needs to be fulfilled.

As the common saying, only bet the amount we can afford to lose. It happens that there are times we are lucky and earn from gambling. The fun and entertainment it brings on casino games is what matters when gambling. Earning through sports betting can be great too if we are very good at analyzing the sports we love and follow most. I support what you just said, betting is a not a great way to fulfill our needs.

By that you know how importance the money is because you can now manage the number of money you will gamble some of people keep playing gambling even though they losses a lot because they are keep hoping they can earn their losses back, I experience the same thing I continuously loosing over 500$ per day because I hit a good shot in the first two days and becomes more greedy now after I realize that I lost a lot of money that's the time I make a gambling limit to my self it is just normal to restrict yourself because we have different purpose on money not just only to gamble.

All in all we just need to accept that it is not always rainbows and butterflies, we need to accept that there will be some losses we may encounter soon, the moment we will not stop from playing and continuously betting having a false hope of winning that match and trying to get back what we've lost, it will be the start that we will fall into addiction and frustrations.

Everyone will had worst day in a gambling,worst day you will loss the maximum holding.It may be the maximum amount which you had not loss before at any sense.We can’t eat the sweet all the time in the shop.Sometimes we are forced to eat the bitter fruits juice.Money is not the hard one to inverse on a bad day.The idea itself bad for the investment on particular things.You learn more and more tactics to escape from the loss.Loss is not a permanent to any people,need to learn every second.Master in gambling makes to earn more from each gambling game.It’s like a investment on the crypto currency.In every worst day,you can easily earn more and more knowledge from that game.In trading also we can earn more from the worst day trading.

Good for you because you established your mind at an early age and you know what's right or wrong when it comes to gambling. I, on the other hand didn't have the same mindset like yours when I was young and I had plenty of experience when it comes to going overboard in gambling and the truth is, even my bank is not safe when I'm gambling as I tend to withdraw every time when things is getting out of hand. But fortunately, that experience taught me some lessons in life as I experienced how to have nothing just because of that habit. Now I always keep some safe distance when it comes to gambling as I know that gambling once destroyed my life, so if I'm looking for fun or entertainment, I always have handful of other choices.

It's unfortunate to read that you underwent such situation. Indeed, we have fair shares of mistakes in the past due to being impulsive and lack of enough knowledge about something. Since we experienced it the hard way, we should learn from it to avoid doing the same mistakes again. I'm glad that you were able to acknowledge your shortcomings back then and did something about it to make you a better person today.

Setting limitations is a good thing to take control of your gambling habits. Knowing your boundaries will keep you be at ease because your life won't be ruined by gambling once again since you already established a good distance from it. Knowing when is enough and too much can really matter a lot. If you are in it for entertainment, the more you should make limitations for you to not regret later on. Otherwise, you'll just end up like everyone else who lost their control in their gambling ways that eventually became addicted.

@op we have the same experienced mate but on my side the money i gamble is supposed to be for my allowance in the next coming month. Yeah same story wherein i am still hoping as well that i can regain all the losses and came back with profits but i have failed..  :( i was depressed that time to be honest, so after that i never gamble and decided to find new source of income and preferred to find some platform that gives free spin.. Lol

Truth! It's okay that we had our own share of shortcomings in terms of gambling, almost everyone here had experienced the same story. We should learn to move on and be wiser from that experience so that it won't happen to us again, although there will some point again that we will lose some money, but we should be responsible enough to just spend what is allowed so that we will just lose what we can afford.

It's okay mate, what is important is that we have successfully put our flaws behind while carrying the lesson that the experience taught us. I learned it the hard way but I guess that was my wake up call to avoid more losses in the future, from that point, I stopped from going into the casinos and gambling house because I feel that it's not for me. These days, I'm okay with betting on basketball games and combat sports sometimes to keep me entertained whenever I need some past time.

If there are those who think that gambling can fulfill their daily needs, then that thought is a big mistake and you have to wake them up

there are only 2 types of gamblers, one who is successful with gambling and has great luck and the other is those who are broke and being chased by debt collectors

Gambling is fun as long as you don't ruin your life with debt and damage to your family

When we face an unfortunate situation like this in our lives it's better to forget gambling and stop chasing losses through betting. In some cases it's even better to forget about the money you have lost so far and start from zero again through safe and guaranteed sources of income, even if their potential isn't the same of your past gambling sessions. Doesn't matter how much money you lost, what really matters is how much money you have in the present moment and how much you can earn from now on! Nobody likes to restart after a 'game over', but there isn't any other option available, so it must be done with hope, confidence, will and joy.

You're right it's better to stop for a while when luck in gambling is not on our side, actually the type of person in gambling has his own time when he gambles and if we experience a losing streak then it's better to stop at that time. there are times when things like that can trigger ridiculous actions such as chasing losses and betting with large multiples that can be fatal to the finances he has. The pattern of games in slots or other games must be considered with every turn you bet in order to maintain the level of victory in gambling. The chaos of the mind that is hit by defeat can trigger emotions in slot games and this of course must be avoided when you play slots.

And as well as ruining the others life, you shouldn't do that as you gamble because that makes gambling have a bad reputation because of things like that.

Be responsible enough and bring your own like how you're doing it with other things aside from gambling.

Days could be better sometimes and worse but make sure that you're not harming yours and any others.

You should know the very basic or most common thing that do happens on gambling field which is losing plus it is really meant or being created for the sole purpose of entertainment but since people are just naturally

greedy then this is where gambling platforms do take advantage on this one.This is why it do turns out that gambling industry is really indeed profitable due to this kind of behavior.People would most likely be spending lots of money whether they had that kind of impulsive emotions or something in related.

You would really be having lots of worst days if you do keep pertaining about on how to make money or make winnings.

when we are born into this world then our lives are tied to the family so that the bad behavior that we do out there greatly affects our family life

In my country, it is often heard of fathers and mothers selling their assets to pay off debts made by their children as a result of gambling or other criminal acts

If you can't make your family happy, at least keep your family's honor, you have to care about them too or you will regret it in the future

This is what really harms gambling reputation, gambling is for the most part harmless and most people can gamble responsibly without any kind of negative long term effect on their lives.

But there is a very small minority of people which cannot gamble responsibly and lose a great deal of money, and this affects the reputation of casinos but also of gamblers around the world, as there is still many people that think that if you like to gamble then you are irresponsible with your money or that you have some sort of gambling addiction problem when that is not the case.

That's too much addiction when you're the one who gambled and then got into debt trap and your parents are the ones that shall pay for those debts.

If you can't handle the heat and pressure, it's better to not gamble at all and don't be a burden to anyone even if to your parents.

That shows how responsible you are as a gambler and as well as a son/daughter.

Maybe it has something to do with how parents can educate their children so that if parents can do it well and correctly, their children will also not get their parents into trouble.
It will also depend on the environment in which they live and how their children get along with their friends because it will make them have a mindset that will be different from what has been taught by their families.
Yes, I agree that it is better to protect the honor of the family than to get our family into trouble because it will affect everyone in the family.
And if it is associated with gambling, they can make it difficult to help family members who have problems with gambling or are addicted.

Alot of things contributes to how a person view things in life most especially at the early age if one does not build good financial discipline and also being able to have self-control it will effect the way one act a see risk, in ops explanation he mentioned how he use his school fees to gamble and lost everything.

To some this is a bad move, but what if he won the bets and made good profits from risking his school fees, but it is advisable to risk what you can afford to lose.

There is something that must be understood for us gambling connoisseurs, so that they avoid addictive behaviors.  lack of understanding and sense of responsibility is one of the factors that causes addiction.
Behaviors like this are rarely realized by betting enthusiasts, it is important to understand that gambling is a very entertaining pleasure and not a place to seek profit alone.
Gambling games can be the simplest place for us to do on the sidelines of busyness after busy activities, without having to travel far to find entertainment.
Online casinos are currently present in the midst of the world community, and we can enjoy them with money that is ready to lose.  nothing more, then that person will be spared from bad effects.

maybe I didn't gamble for too long, at that time I got scholarship money from my college, then I thought I wanted to double it easily, at that time my friend offered me online gambling and then I tried and won at the beginning. my game got the max win, and a few days later I tried to return without being accompanied by my friends. At that time I was very confident because in the first game I got the max win, I always bought free spins, and in the end, the money from a max win I got At the beginning of my win, I wasted. Also at that time, I was still curious, one day I pawned my vehicle documents to the bank to gamble again, but in the end, I was never given my winnings back.
maybe it was the last time to gamble.
It really affected my life, especially when my family found out what I was doing, after that I was always depressed, felt guilty, and what was more fatal was that my family didn't trust me to hold the money.

We never fail to remind gamblers about this but there are always gamblers whose head is hard and will gamble recklessly. It's not rare but many people are actually betting using the money which is intended for something important.

It happens because their extra money which is intended for gambling and other non-important things are way too small and they sometimes feel non-contented after they use it all. If they really want to allocate more money in gambling then they need to minimize their food, electricity consumption and others. It's called sacrificing or they can also do a side hustle to support their habits without affecting their normal living.

I absolutely agree. When a gambler does not know how to control himself in most cases it leads to big losses, which are usually followed by gambling with other people's money. And this is a very serious problem, which can lead to a deplorable situation.

I have only one piece of advice for those who gamble with other people's money - it is to stop and never gamble again. Most likely such people will need help from specialists, but this is a necessity compared to irresponsible gambling.

Gambling makes anyone indifferent to their surroundings. What they want as a gambler is to always try to win, when you find someone who is very addicted to gambling, it is better to be tolerant and prefer to get out of the circle because maybe one day you will be called to borrow money and will certainly make you difficult and uncomfortable will arise.

The more you do engage the more you would really be making yourself get prone into addiction.This is why you should really be that careful on what are the motives you do have in mind.

You are the ones who do handle your own life and whatever decisions you've been making is something that you really be thinking off clearly and made decisions on the right path.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself responsible on yourself and with your responsibility.Dont tolerate if there are some urge to play more.
Play according into your leisure needs and dont go beyond those limits.

Losing money that you are willing to spend for your entertainment exceeding to that will cause you something that
will put you are a risk in terms of finances.

Unaware of many possible effects of being addicted, regret is really something that a gambler will realize after. Maybe
some are learning things the hard way, but for some they are basing it from the experience of others, maybe not many
but there are good gamblers who know how to control they are capable of enjoying and earn from the kind of vices.

This is on point.

If you won't follow your set boundaries, you will surely suffer the consequences later on. The moment you knew that limiting yourself to a healthy extent will do good to you, then you should stick to it. Otherwise, the restrictions you set for your own good will all just be put into waste if you won't abide it. The repercussions include spending beyond you allocated fund for gambling and therefore compromising your financial aspect which could lead to serious problems. It can also cause you to be addicted especially if prolonged playing and betting will be your habit that is a serious condition that needs help from the professionals. Since addiction requires medication and proper treatment, your life routine will definitely be affected.

Now, if you don't want to regret anything later on, then you should learn to refrain from going beyond your limits and just be a responsible gambler for your own sake and for the people surrounding you as well.

But if the new guys can have good self-control, I guess they won't have any problems as long as they gamble and can quit whenever they want. But indeed, if we look at how people gamble, many people end up losing big and unfortunately, they even want to try to recover from that loss. Those involved in it will only continue to deposit more money to recover from their losses. This is why we must always be careful when playing gambling and stop immediately if we feel we have lost several times.

But you can at least estimate it by comparing with the cost of other activities that bring you joy. For me, for example, it's going to watch a movie with my wife. It's around $8 for both of us. So, if we want to spin slots, once in a while,  instead of going to a movie theater, we can allocate $8 for that.

Overall to me gambling is for entertainment not for making money. I can spend 3 hours playing in a poker tournament with $0.55 buy-in, and be very happy about winning $5. But earning $4.45 in 3 hours isn't that great money-wise, right?

This is an individuality difference between gamblers, some do gamble and yet you cannot know, sone maintain thier privacy by playing gamble within the comfort of their home, some even are difficult to predict as a gambler because you will hardly found any traces that they gamble, it all depends on how each gamblers give an approach on gambling.


Definitely that's the first thing that comes on every gamblers mind, winning and winning always but not every attempted play comes with a win in reality.


Some gamblers have no shame to an extent of lending money to gamble which is very bad, we must reduce our integrity all because of self satisfaction to gambling at all cost.

Playing gambling is a game to relieve fatigue from our real work, even from some people gambling becomes a hobby for them, that's why they feel a lot when playing whether it's gambling like what, at least gambling doesn't make us rich people even it will On the other hand, it makes it difficult for us to win in gambling, there are many cases that have been experienced by some people out there who, experiencing a very big loss even it makes them crazy in gambling and makes them curious to continue playing, in order to have a victory in gambling, and in the end Finally they don't realize that gambling will make them poor when they are really addicts.

There is a need for people to learn every topic on earth. If you have a pre -experience in doing anything, then it can be much easier and successful to do. If we look at gambling there are many things to know. We can learn what should we accept and what should be rejected etc. After acquiring these knowledge we can get advantage from gambling. Otherwise the bad days of gambling can often come to us.

It is not our fault if people perceive 99% of gamblers to be irresponsible individuals but it will be our fault if we help act foolishly, hereby justifying the statement they once had. But however, everybody can not be responsible all the time, but there is one thing everybody can do, which is by gambling with an amount they can all afford to lose so that if it doesn't go as planned at times, they won't feel so much disturbed or worried, as gambling is just like a double edge sword, where you could win or lose

Things like this will always happen because the stigma of most people always dwells that gambling or people who gamble are people who can indeed be said to be not very good so things like this will obviously be the same thing every view.
Even in my environment, people who gamble are always considered people who have failed in running their economy so they turn to gambling

We all want to win.

But when we lose, we don't know how we're affecting others and forgetting of becoming responsible for that things that we're obliged to.

That's why a gambler must be responsible and avoid getting a loan and letting their parents pay for it. Don't take a loan if you're going to gamble it and if you don't have money to pay for.

But once addiction hits your hard then this is where things turns out to be messy.You would even tend to do illegal things if you are really that desperate for you to play gambling.Worst days would surely come into your
life if you arent that sensible towards your current or present actions.When you do gamble then be sure that you should really be that responsible and setting out those limits so that incase you do lose money
then you arent affecting other responsibilities and priorities which is something important for you to mind on. Gambling is for fun and not a source of income or whatsoever.
There are really just people who do go into certain extent which it isnt right anymore.

Everyone wants to win and everyone have the hope of winning. But, the sad part we loss control in no time and the same makes our winnings and holdings go into the wallet of the gambling house.

As suggested for the purpose of gambling one should not take a loan. We don't have the assurance we'll win, but the loss will lead to depression, regular interest settlement and the mind wavering to find ways to recover the loss. This continues. Good is to know our limits and spend.

I didn't want to study gambling too much because it would be like there was no end, and it would sink me to the bottom of gambling without being able to get out of there and get into gambling addiction problems later. I prefer to use gambling as a medium for fun and entertainment and do not expect to get a win or profit because I think it will depend on luck. So it's better if we can use gambling properly so we won't get into any problems.

Today is one of the worst day of mine in gambling. I lost a big amount that I saved out of my campaign participation. For that reason the day is worse, same time it isn't worse as that of OP. Because, OP have used the money for his education to gamble and tried to borrow money for his fee. Here it is my earned money, and now I need to sacrifice little of my daily needs for some time period to overcome the loss. So, in any circumstances it is must to segregate the fund and use it wisely. Just an uncontrolled gambling have caused OP ruin his education with carry over.

Right control with your emotions will allow you to avoid or lessen the chance of causing big problem when losing your money, I mean there are people like OP who will learn things from doing a big mistake, gambling is addicting and if you don't know how to handle your emotions, your engagement will continue to grow, very possible that you will do things that is not usual with your routine same with how OP use the money for his education.

There are a lot of stories which like OP and you that suffer coming from unexpected mistake, you just need to move on and not to dwell but make sure that you will learn from such mistakes that are made.

again it comes to an important thing: managing emotions
this is the key for so many processes in life
from investments to gambling (and much more)

luck is cool, it definitely exists, but even better is not to depend on luck to succeed

If the depression comes out, that's a harder effect that might tend to result in more complex problem not just for the gambler but to his/her family as well.

Be ready when you gamble.

Be ready to win and to lose and don't ever think that you'll use others money in gambling. It's better when you lose, you own the money so that you don't owe it to anyone and you'll be alone in experiencing that loss.
