Hi everyone,

So, like few hour ago, I was scrolling through my reddit feed and found a post that was made on one of the gambling channels on the platform, I opened the post to read and behold, it was a gambler telling his own story and experience in gambling, I found it quite interesting to read, plus his experiences could also serve as a valuable lesson to some of us here, so, I thought I should share it.

Read the whole story in the shot I post below, you can also click the shot to view the original post on reddit, and as well read reddit users comments on the post..

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/15/jE36P.jpeg (https://www.reddit.com/r/gambling/s/XB9UavbJVZ)

What exactly do you think we call this type of gambler? For he is not only addicted to gambling, but he seem to be also addicted to buying stuffs he obviously does not need, and absolutely not interested in..

Again, alot of money can be made through gambling if one is lucky, but it also can destroy the person if he or she does not, or fail to control him or herself..
Anyways, lets discuss about this, feel free to put your comments below.

He should know that he should not think about it. This can cause depression and thinking his life opportunity has been lost. But he should not think about it and understand more about life so that he will begin to find joy and happiness again.

This is common to gamblers. If they win, they will want to win more and continuing gambling. But only the experienced gamblers know they should not use the money to gamble or to use the right but very small amount for gambling. It would have been better if he use the money to establish a business or use it to hold assets.

We can not give this type of conclusion because he earned huge amount of money like within a short period of time and that can make him spend little amount of the money on what he just wish without thinking twice.

He can sell those unopened boxes the stereo and xbox if he wants to but it also sounds like he doesn't wanna do that. That's why he was able to tell the story and so he is trying to control himself. But what he had no control over was the urge to open another account. And then he goes over to this reddit r/gambling for help, that's the kind of gambler he is.

A person doesn't really realize the gravity until it's too late. It's his battle and no matter what advice is given to him, those unopened boxes will tempt him. He should open it already and enjoy the games and music.

The good thing that he had done is that he had at least make  those winnings been partitioned on which he had given some money into his mom, he had purchased some stuffs lie gaming consoles
and other things which he does like, he did even donate to charity but the biggest mistake he had is that believing about giving or doing something good could bring out luck factor on which its
really that very wrong because this isnt how luck chance would really be increased. Also, if you donate then dont expect something in return because you would really be just that blaming God in the end of the line.  ;D. Greed is never been that something could be removed into a human being. As long you are really that knowing that you could make money even more then you would really be doing
your best on trying out to achieve something bigger on what you had hit up before on which it is really that very wrong approach specially on gambling.

A lucky gambler that can’t appreciate his won but rather focus only on his losses which is just his profit from his first huge mean.

The subject is obviously doesn’t have contentment on his life that’s why he keeps chasing win after win despite he already got super lucky streak. He also give money to his mom and charity plus the things he purchased which in total is already above his original bankroll that still worthy to celebrate not to sulk.

This guy shouldn’t gamble because no luck in the world can satisfy his greediness since he even feel regretful despite he is still in profit overall.

indeed, an interesting story, lots of it keeps popping up on Reddit. He's an insecure gambler. Never had a target or plan. That's why he had to try again after his first big win. If he had a plan of doing something meaningful with that money, like starting up a business, he may have been busy trying to manage his money. Not saying giving to charity is wrong, as he did. But he wasn't sure of himself being financially stable, before making all those expenses. Now he's got no money, which shows he made the wrong choices or decisions. He moved from living large to not living at all.

That's the psychological aspect of gambling, going back to invest in what gave us the money, is a natural human behavior. He wasn't prepared to manage his moves in the last session which took long hours. And I think he got carried away by the losing streak. Those losses made him unsure of what he was actually doing, so he kept on going since some bucks were left. I think he'd convert those tech items to cash and use it to gamble again. The house takes back everything. Even he could convince his mom to lend him some funds, to try his luck. I don't think he is stopping soon; the money has been tested and it seems good to him. Moving back to square zero won't sit right with any gambler after winning as big as the player in the Op.

That's what you called greed, the person in the post experience the luxurious life of having more money but the thing is he didn't think much and spend a alot in so many things, it can't be helped maybe he is just fullfilling his childhood wants or dream but the thing is the most practical is that the person in the post should have some money for investment or anything that could make his money grow, execpt gambling, see that example because of the taste of winning a lot of money drive him to gamble more in order to win again, little they know is that the more you have the taste of winning in gambling the more you will want to bet more, see rhe example, from a lot of money to none, its because they didn't learn to control themselves and let the greed and desire take over and that is a common mistakes fron those new in gambling.

This is a case of multiple addictions in action because from the look of things, it seems that the gambler or victim seems to be out of control and he really needs some quick help if not, alot could go wrong with him at the end of the day because as it is, he is going to lose everything until his entire balance becomes zero at the end of the day.

So the best thing for him to do right now is to take a break from gambling for a while and try to forget about the entire figures and accept the fact that casino always wins.

The problem is that the person is gambling to make profit, and maybe take gambling as his job. This was the reason why he spends extravagantly, and keep on gambling due to greed without thinking of quitting. He is regretting now because he feels there is no hope in life anymore and gamble was his only hope. Losing such huge amount frustrated him. One thing that I understand with spending is that, if you get the money without effort, you will spend it on stuffs that you don't need because you just feel like spending, believing more money is coming.

This is why one should not think of making profit from gamble but see it as fun, and if you become lucky and win, don't think that you will be lucky again. This will make you use the money wisely, and you will not gamble hoping to hit it big again, because this is where the problem lies. You win small or big and you are not satisfied, you will lose bigger instead.

We should learn that winning in gambling is not possible every day. Luck won't help me every day. If one gets such a win I think one should enjoy that win as well as utilize it properly. I have seen some gamblers that after they win in gambling they spend that money in some useless places and after few days when they lose in gambling again they cannot manage the money. He has to take help from others for money. Although the person you mentioned spent on his own needs and some other places as well but in my opinion he should have spent on some pro active work. If a gambler invests his winnings in an investment platform, he can get a certain amount of money from it, which further contributes to his gambling.

Lolz, you got me rolling 🤣 on the floor by your comment, will he opening the boxes and enjoying the music and Xbox games stop his addiction to gambling?

I personally think that this gambler has gone far in terms of being addicted to gambling, and one thing about addiction in something is, when it comes, one completely loses interest in every other thing, it is not my wish for him, but I highly doubt he won't end up selling all of those gadgets and items just to raise money to gamble, possibly when he must have lost his entire balance totally.

In the nutshell, opening and using this items won't help him heal from his addiction to gambling, and beside, this things night as well be things he already has, he just bought this ones because of the large amount of money that entered his hands and he doesn't know what to do with it - I don't know if this dude knows about crypto, he should invest the money on bitcoin.

There is a statement he made there that "No matter how much you win you can never get satisfied". Yes this is a result of not being able to control himself, like as I always said whenever you have the first winning its just like giving you a free ticket to keep gambling because you would have this mindset that there are other possible huge luck out there you could win higher than what you have won. Of curse there is every possibility that you could win higher or above what you had won before but have you also consider the other side of yourself what it's causing towards your life because to me, when you gamble and win it increases your interest to keep gambling the more at this point you won't know when you might got sink in gambling addictions.

That guy might have a shopping addiction if he spends that much on the things he wants, but I think it's not a bad alternative if he'll be gambling his winning at some point. It reminds me of an old topic mentioning your winnings and spending them before it's too late.

The lucky win probably gave him a lot of confidence and maybe that's why he couldn't resist playing again. I've experienced that same situation, and eventually, you could be giving back your winnings within a short time if you start chasing your losses.

I won't hope that he will stop gambling. But the stereo and Xbox will not be lost in his possession if it's unboxed or else he might think of selling those items to gamble again.

If there is something of a souvenir to keep from the money he won upon betting $35 up to 1900x, it's the stereo and the Xbox. There is more to music and games since it diverts his attention. Who knows he gets more addicted to Xbox games than the porn he watches every day.

If it is on a winning position then that's clearly greed. Self discipline will indeed aid this however it is the hardest thing to imply to oneself, which makes this a bit understandable. Personally, I am guilty of such thing, there are times I would be desiring to earn more than to settle with a small profit, then end up with a complete loss but that's gambling. It will never be too late to make a change for yourself, for the betterment, all you need is to have the initiative or else, quit gambling because in the long run you'd more likely just be in deep loss.
Will be absurd to think that he's addicted already. Would be better to assume that he's just having his "wants" more than his "needs" if it causes him problem already. But I agree with the idea that he might got used of buying anything that crosses his mind because of confidence that he will again win in gambling. However, as we all know, gambling doesn't work that way. You may win sometimes but it won't always be happening, or should I say not too often that it will outnumber the tendency that you'd lose.

The person writing the story in the OP surely has a problem. But he is well over the first stop towards the right direction. And that is realizing you have a problem. Now he needs to seek some help. Get some sense of community. Reach out to his mum even and have a nice chat. But the best of all would be some constructive therapy.

OP for sure would benefit from some counseling by a professional. Being chronically poor is something very common today but gsmbling surely isn't a healthy habbit if you can't afford it. He had the right idea to stop. He can stop even now. There is no reason to feel bad about losing though. Think about the progress you can make. He needs to do that too. And to anyone that thinks of recovery, start and think about improving. Don't obsess about the past.

Totally agree with this line on which as a human being there would really be no such thing about satisfaction but of course it would really be that depending on what kind or type of person you would be because not all would really be the same when it comes to approach on things which there are ones who are that easily get contented on what they do earn or win up but there are ones who are really that asking for more.

On the time that you would really be experiencing consecutive winning then you would really be having that kind of emotion boost up and assuming that luck is already on your side on which these feelings would really be the main thing that will really be making you to play even more on which it isnt really just that right on having that kind of behavior because this would really be causing up that kind of desperation
on which it would really be resulting that all of those winnings would really be coming to waste since it would really be losing back again into the casino just because of too much hope and expectation.

What strikes me is that the first thing he did was to buy a bunch of stuff he didn't need. Who buys 2 consoles at the same time? Does he want to start an arcade?:D
It makes me think of those cartoon characters that win some money and run around town screaming "I'm rich," throwing money around to show off.
Well' at least he gave some to his mother and to charity. That means something, doesn't it? He's broke, but he was broke before, with the difference that now his mom can afford stuff and he has new wheels for his car ;)

I think that you have been very lucky and at least you gave to your mom about 12% of your won amount to pay off some debts which is a great thing to do,you also bought those high tech devices and high tech consoles like Xbox X series.I think the only mistake you made is to have played the wheel and not slot machines (that is what another degen would have said) and tried your luck to get like x10000 with 35 bet,that would have been amazingly awesome to achieve.I think the fact that you got back the next day is a normal thing which many gamblers would have done and I don't think there is no hope for you,it simply takes a lot of time to learn patience and discipline which can help over the long run to make better decisions next time the luck hits on your door.

Gamblers think that life is ending and there is no hope to live after they lose some funds and lose their hope. Why they can't think about how they earn those lost funds? They are very happy when they are winning but when a suddenly small loss they face they lose hope and consider themselves like they are nothing and are zero. Every gambler makes a lot of money but due to their greedy nature they loss it. Just like in the story same thing happens he wins a huge amount giving a handsome fund to his mom and charity but when he loses his profits he becomes sad. I think we need to grow as a professional we can make again money after losing but the basic thing is to believe in yourself, when you believe yourself and on your capabilities, you can do anything that comes your route.

I thought that this was one of those stories with a happy ending. I thought it was going to end with a sentence like, "yeah, I got back at those casinos for all the losses I have ever experienced by closing my account and quitting gambling forever." Unfortunately, I am disappointed not because it didn't end that way but in his moment of vulnerability which for me is the time when he was experiencing a winning streak, he had no friend or confidante to talk some sense into him to slow down. Well, his losses has slowed him down. There is a lesson to learn and he has learned it the hardway.

I don't think he has a gambling addiction, he just have money management problems. What happened to him is what happened to a lot of gamblers, the difference is, in the amount. Most time we win a bet and lose most of the money to more gambling, but in his case, the money was really big.

I have two things to learn and say from this.
First, this is a classic example of knowing when to stop. It goes both ways. We need to know when to stop when winning and when to stop when losing. I believe he didn't lose all that money at one, it happened over a series of bets. If he stopped after a certain stage he most likely would not have lost it all. There is always this voice in our ear that'll say "you hit it big next" "you might recover your losses from the next bet" and so you just keep trying again till there's nothing else to try with. That doesn't mean you have a gambling addiction, that's just how gambling is.
That's why I always say we should have a set out percentage we want to gamble with and try as much as possible not to exceed that amount. It's easier said than done, I know, but it's doable and it saves us from a lot mayhem. It helps me a lot.

Secondly, we should know how to manage money. I read somewhere that we should know what to do with money before the money arrives. Everybody dreams of owning millions, but give one of such person a million bucks today and they won't know what to do with it, this may in turn make the person squander the money. 89k is a lot of money and it's funny how he didn't think of putting part of the money into something that'll give him more money.
I believe if we plan how to use money even before having any hopes of getting that money, we'll manage that money better.
Plan yourself in a way that if $1 million hits your account today you know what to do with it, don't wait till you have that money before you start planning on how to use it. 

He is an addicted gambler, it is just that now his addiction is not exclusively contained on his gambling and now it is expanding to other aspects of his live, after all if you are irresponsible with your money while you gamble, it makes sense you will also be irresponsible with your money when doing anything else.

In my opinion he is in one of the last stages of addiction, and unless he does something quickly, he may reach a point in which he may never recover.

Impulsive that's it, and because he has a lot of money and it all came from his winnings, he thought that he "needed" it. But damn, been playing Crazy time I wasn't able to get that big win of him although I don't bet as high as this guy or at least I'm a conservative gambler. And yes, as others have said, he could sell those items below the price he bought it if he wanted to get some money of things that he see doesn't have value for him. And just like what we say though in gambling, he is really that addicted and there are no control and he give it back to the casinos and now, he has nothing again and it's going to be a vicious cycle.

The hell is he going to use 2 XBox consoles for is the real question I want to ask. Addicted and irresponsible really. Being kind and good does NOT excuse you from the responsibilities you have to yourself, and well, spending money to buy stuff that you probably wouldn't even use all at once can be counted as being irresponsible in my book. Could've planned out his purchases, maybe even add in investments if possible but no, let me buy this giant ass speaker and two consoles (that I probably will not use) and some other stuff that I bought because I was high in money.

It's not even about gambling imo, even if he didn't gamble, I reckon he would've 100% splurged his money god knows where.

I think the guy acted on so much excitement and impulse without firstly sitting down to properly plan the funds in his deposition. He was normally extravagant with funds and at the slightest opportunity, he unleashed what poverty has suppressed in him for a long time. I also think its the first time he's having access to such funds and I'm not surprised how he wasted almost everything immediately. I really think he might continue until he's back at the penniless stage he started, later on will move to selling those gadgets he acquired mindlessly to suit his gambling addiction If he's not careful. The best thing for him now is to quit gambling until his terrible urge subsides a little.

I had similar experience at 2015 and 2018 when I hit $7k and $10k  respectively. I was young and stupid, and as a result wasted precious funds thinking I'll continue winning, but it never came again in such magnitude. I learned my lessons the hard way and had to angrily avoid the bookies for almost three years. I really hope this guy has learned his lessons, else there's more trouble coming his way.

Sorry for the disappointment, it's a never happy ever after real life story and I think the guy in question is a gambling freak, as in, he's a gambling addict judging by how he couldn't control himself to holdback and enjoy his money after closing his account he still went on creating another new account and got himself wasted. Fuck him for making the story not to end in favour of a gambler at least for ones.

He calls himself a degenerate gambler. He may not be addicted in the sense of having the need to gamble every day but he has dysfunctional behavior.

This kind of thing could be avoided if people actually understood deeply the concept of expected value.  The moment he wins 65,000 with a bet of 35 he is winning much more than the expected value. A bet of 35 in a casino is always worth less than 35. So, if the expected value is 34 for example and you win 65,000, you have been too lucky and you are going to pay for it by losing a lot if you continue betting. On top of that, you still deposit 2K and turn it into 30K, so you are already at the limit of having so much luck that you have nothing left to lose. And what does he do? Keep betting, and therefore losing.

Gambling win always comes with an uncontrollable force that can drive you into doing unexpected things. Sometimes I wounder if the cause is due to the money being a free money. Because most people take winning for granted. After several loses if they manage to win they think the best thing to do is to have fun which will make them loss the money. I can't really said he made a mistake in buying the unwanted home appliances because that is all what he can lay his hand on or his achievements and if perhaps he didn't buy the claimed unnecessary items, he would have surely spent it on gambling in his second newly created account.

I don't think if it is necessary to sell it, and I hope he doesn't sell it. Because that is the achievement of the money he won. Sometimes the thing we spend money on and think it is not useful usually becomes useful Afterall, just that it has not been utilised yet. When he starts using it, it becomes a testimony of what he has achieved so far in gambling

Exactly.. that is also my sudjestion to him. Opening those boxes will be his chances of achieving a tangible thing in gambling, otherwise he will sell them and use the money to chase after loses.

Bad financial handling.

He knows he won, he gave some to his mom. He also spends some of it on some items that I think are expensive and if it is still unboxed then it means he doesn't really need it. I guess he is also affected by envy from the people around him. Maybe they have high-end stereo and two Xboxes too and so he wanted them all for himself after he won. The sad part is the part where he went back. He already closed his account which I think means that you are done with gambling. From one good decision to a bad one.
I don't think he has a mental problem, he just doesn't have a plan for what he will do next which is why he is spending the money for things that he doesn't need.
He just need a plan or a financial advisor to keep things straight.

the truth is that you don't just get satisfied with your current win when something inside is telling you that you can win more if you played again. It's a normal thing that happens to all of us. It's not not just peculier to the dude. Most of us here can't comfortably work away from gambling even after winning millions, one of the first and primary thought that will come to your mind is that since you've won but now, maybe it's best you improve on how you do your staking. Maybe you should just choose a game and stake with a huge amount since you have the resource already and that if you possibly do it over and over again, luck will still shine on you and you will even win more.

What we shouldn't forget is that money has power and having the ability to controlling it is one of the most deficult thing we can think of doing. But at the end of the day, gambling money should always be seen as a passive income and never to b followed as one gotten from our skills or whatever. You're lucky to win today but if you aren't carefully, you might still loose it all the same them. Lik he's said already, gambling is not for jerks, it's for th matured mind. If you don't want get in situations like this that can possibly traumatize you for a lifetime, stick to maximum of one time gambling per week and never gamble above maybe  5% of your weekly earning so if you choose to gamble after hitting it big, it doesn't really affect your entire win.

Common man, you sound too harsh on the guy as if you have some personal beef with him. This can indeed happen to anyone.

In my estimation, the guy got carried away. It is possible that he had so much time on his hand that all he did was gamble. You know loneliness can also make someone find comfort in gambling and it doesn't mean that the person is a gambling freak. I know that when it is done without moderation it could result in gambling addiction.

I had a significant win a week ago and a smaller win just yesterday. Both of these winnings have already been used to purchase a bunch of things I wanted ;D
Got my new DAC, mechanical keyboard, wireless mouse, etc. Do I want to deposit more because of this? NO, since I have and follow my gambling budget. If the next time I deposit and lose, it's just like the usual unlucky day.

The problem with OP's story and many others is about GREED. After winning big, he wanted more and deposited more money. He should have stopped and enjoyed his winnings. Don't ever think about some formula to beat the house and get rich through gambling.

This person is battling with multiple addictions, gambling came into his life and make those addiction a reality, many people must be the same, thinking that if they can be lucky to make some money someday, they will buy a lot of things, including the things that they don't need.

What did he planned to use two Xbox series s for? Even those who are hardcore gamers don't do the same, this person is a lost soul he doesn't know what he wants, he have the desire of wasting money.

I would have invested the majority of that money first, this one opportunity can change his story forever if he managed the fund very well, but unfortunately many people are like this.

They look so lacking but once they get access to some fund they will choose to lavish it all, some people are like this.

You are living my dream. I had always wanted a mechanical keyboard and a wireless one. My life would be much better with them. You are one very lucky gambler.

Sometimes when I read the type of stories in the OP and read about gamblers who were in the same situation but were sensible enough to succeed or overcome such temptation, I just want to send those types of people an email with examples of people who were in their situation.

Maybe it would serve as motivation, encouragement, or inspiration. I don't know, but I feel that it would somehow help them. And yours is one of such examples

Smiles! Not at all, there's no hard feelings not to mention a beef. And it's true this can happen to anyone it's just that we pray it doesn't happen to us using this experience as a reminder that gambling should be treat with a sense of maturity and discipline. Boredom could be so frustrating that loneliness that comes with it can make you want to take comfort even in uncomfortable phenomenon. I think we gamblers should also make it a culture to find other productive activities to engage into or even spending time with families and colleagues to avoid exposing ourselves to such disastrous losses.

I have read the whole story but from here I understand that gambling can make a man destitute very quickly. Here I would blame the person you quoted because he should not have used his entire winnings to gamble. When this quoted person made 30k by depositing 2k, he should have kept 2k from this for gambling and the remaining 28k for himself but he got greedy and used it in full bets hoping to get more and ended up losing it all. Every person should take a lesson from this because gambling platforms should never use the entire portion of income. Always use a fixed income budget for gambling. Also, when gambling has high profits, one must control oneself and take time to participate in the bet later.

The lesson to his story is just as we have known with gamblers who become greedy after good wins. He made more effort to win and he kept playing with high stake instead of taking a break and continue the next day. We also learnt that in between lock, you can lose part of your money or all depending on the appetite of risk taken and increasing your stake randomly is one factor that pulls gambler down.

However, I notice he is either a philanthropist or someone who likes to gift people. Nothing is bad on that but it has to come with moderation and you won't depend on gambling to be gifting people or making people to rely on you to give them some financial benefits, that is already an addiction in itself and dependent on winning which means he will pressure himself in his gambling and that isn't nice to be playing under pressure.

I think this is why gambling is not for everybody. We need to be prepared for the future consequence because if we don't have self control, we might hurt ourselves at the end. This is a story for the strong not for the weak. There are people that gambling has done bad to them than good and we need to learn from this kind of life story so that we can always adjust so that we don't let gambling to eat us up to the bone. It is better we try controlling our gambling habit now before things might get worse that what we thought. We need to keep adjusting in a way that the consequences of a reckless gambling will not descent on us.

There are people who are compulsive accumulators, this is good in a Country that has inflation problems, corralitos or something like that , where they compare things they don't need, but at the time of crises what they do is sell it to have some money, not It's bad but you have to know how to do it, although the player is a bit addicted, he should get in touch with what he can do well, for this reason, in order to have real bets, we must manage many conditions that Favor us, for the casinos too, So in view of these things it has to be given that control is very important in all this , for that Reason when we are looking for more things in the casino we must be very realistic with things, we cannot spend more than we should, the story is Just enough to realize what we Should not do.

Do you know that the craziest thing about loneliness is that you can be in the midst of bunch of people and still feel lonely because it is more of a subjection perception of being alone than it is in relation to one's physical space. A productive activity one can engage in to rid yourself of loneliness is teams sports - football, hockey, basketball etc In my estimation anyone with the subjective perception of being alone shouldn't turn to gambling. It is not a teams sports unless you are gambling with family and friends.

Being honest with ourselves is one of the ways to measure were we are on the gambling addiction scale so as to enable us take action. Controlling our gambling habits includes setting up rules for our times which include- how many times we'd gamble during the week, what time of the day we'd gamble on those days, how many hours we'd spend on gambling, how much we'd spend and others. These are personal gambling rules that fosters self-control.

I think that person needs company. He needs people who he can socialize with more often than just being alone every single time. The fact that he has been gambling, hit a huge win, bought a lot of stuff which was all for his own entertainment, that's a serious indicator that he might be a person don't like to go out and socialise.
Also, I don't blame him for getting the thought of having a good karma or helping someone before you go gambling would help you win more. Nah, we all that doesn't work that way.
Well, the good thing happened to that person is that, he finally realized the reality of life and gambling.

It was better that he did some purchases and give his mom some money and debt paid. Because if it he didn't do and bought all of those stuff then for sure that the money will just be going back to the casino again.

So, aside from being addicted gambler, he's also a reckless spendthrift that have bought stuff that he is not using.

What will come to his mind next is he'd sell all of those stuff that are in the boxes, will deposit the money to the casino and boom some another good story that had made him xxxxx money and multiplier.

is that how it happens when someone who has never hit a jackpot before finally gets that much money and doesn't know what to use it for, so he just uses it to buy useless things and waste his money on gambling. he is not only a gambling addict, but also he is financially retarded, because he does not know how to allocate his money and use it for things that are much more profitable for him. even though if he was wise, from the start he could have quit his gambling and used the money to invest and open a business, apart from earning more money, he could also earn passive income which could make him prosperous.

When he won a large amount of money in gambling, I don't have any questions about that. Maybe the only thing that was not good about his experiences when he won large amounts in gambling was that he was always lucky like that; he even mentioned the name of Jesus Christ, something that's not good for me. If he's gambling and he's lucky,

he should just gamble and don't touch or mention the name of Jesus Christ; it shouldn't be mentioned in vain, as if he's showing that Jesus Christ likes gambling and his winning.
If you often win, I also saw that you are addicted to expensive things, although you are also a giver, and at the same time you are a loving child.

Money that comes easy also goes away very easy. Like the English saying "Easy come, easy go."
This guy paid off his debts, gave 10K to his mother and donated several grand for charity. I see this as a win.
The problem is the greed and the desire to always want more and more. Humans are designed this way.
Also this guy is an impulsive buyer, I guess. Maybe that's normal. If I won a big amount of money, maybe I would probably start buying shit I don't need left and right.
At least he's not a hardcore gambling addict, who got into big debts and ruined his life. He still has the chance to quit gambling and go on with his life.

Then he is not principled enough, See to win in gambling for long race is to apply oneself some kinds of guidelines where you can stand on those rules or personal choice. Let say as gambler you have made a deposit of $200 or more to gamble with it for the duration of 30 days and more, and your interest is to be gambling every day with at least $5 whenever this amount is exhausted the next to do is to stop gambling for that day. Even though you win or not don't push further, this is how gambling addiction is being controlled, but some may get weird over their lost and decides to keep gambling till they restore back their lost $5 which I think is a very bad thing to practice as a gambler because when you stand on every decision you have made makes you responsible gambler and people would be amazed to see you gambling and not being affected along the line.

That person is too deep on his gambling activities to the point that it also affected his mental judgement and psychological reasoning. His impulsiveness has taken over which tends to interfere with his decision-making skills. That explains on why he is mostly purchasing stuff that he does not need due to the mental stress that gambling has affected him.

This kind of story is very unfortunate- it really highlights the effect of gambling and on how it can snowball into something bigger and problematic if that person does not seek any kind of professional help/support from anyone.


I do agree that the silver lining with this tory is that he was able to satisfy his debt and he was also able to give something to his mother. Unfortunately, such cannot justify that he bought useless stuff that would most likely cost him more in the future.

Again, this is just one of the thousand stories about a person suffering from gambling addiction. I just hope that this serves as a reminder to everyone that if you are going to gamble, make sure to have an allocated budget and you stick to it to avoid any chasing of losses.

Using your own point, should we call this person an introvert ?, I am just like him in this aspect, but I don't go around buying stuffs that I don't need.

Since I was very young I have learned to always enjoy my company alone, even when too much people come looking I always feel discomfort and unsafe, I like keeping my circle very small.

I use most of my money on investment, it is all I know how to do, I spent most of my lonely time improving myself, I have created few online businesses, I have turned into a Bitcoin miner, and I have to monitor these all by myself, I really don't have the time for unprofitable things.

When I am free I do watch movies and anime, and I enjoy doing this, I think this person was never alone right from the beginning, he was not used to this lifestyle, I am thinking that things changed around him suddenly and he needs the attention from others.

I will not say he bought unnecessary things because that was not the problem. The problem is that he spent almost all the money on gambling and lost it. Gambling is still the problem. This is how someone that become rich very fast become poor again very fast. He should not just think about it and let it be a bygone because thinking about it will only not be helping his health at all. Going for business would have been better.

There is this belief that people tend to carelessly spend money they didn't work hard to earn than money they actually worked hard for and it seems most gamblers apply this belief in their personal lives alot. It is very common to see most gamblers pay for strangers' orders at the club, buy expensive stuffs they don't really need, make more friends and embark on trips that are not really necessary. All this happen shortly after a big win. Ofcourse there is more from where that money spent came from.

If as a gambler, big wins trigger you to spend lavishly till nothing is left on you, then you are still irresponsible.  A person that can set limits for himself while gambling should be able to still set some standard rules on how to effectively utilise the money won from gambling. The young man in OP's story is not only an addict but a wasteful spender and he will continue in that cycle until he realises that there is no investment in his name.  He needs help.

I am not surprised, when gamblers get lucky more than once they always expect it to keep coming, I believe this man wasted the money because it was an easy earning for him, this is why gambling money is a easy way out, you worked for nothing.

---

The only part that I feel he handled well was that of his mother, even if he go broke for a while now he gave his mother good amount of money. Many people who have never hit a jackpot gambling will do the same, the thrill of winning will take over them, and they will think about spending the money and going back.

Unlike someone like me who will think about how hard it will be to win ever again, because I believe that once you hit a jackpot or big amount its going to be even harder to win again, as the casino will try to take that money back from you, the only way you can be ahead of them is discipline.

---

If you can gamble and hit a jackpot then proceed to invest the money into things that will bring more money then you are responsible person.

Someone who is never satisfied will feel regret if they have experienced a loss that they should have been able to enjoy with many times the amount of profit. This is also a lesson for all of us. If we have to be complacent if we have obtained the profit we can achieve, we shouldn't. We overdo it or get more. Sometimes luck only comes once in a lifetime, so don't waste it if you think you've got it.

He really had to try hard to stop gambling. He had seen for himself how gambling could quickly drain all his money. If he can't control himself, he will get worse and worse and won't be able to quit gambling.

He needed to discuss this matter with those closest to him to get advice before things really turned bad. He can still get a chance to change but he has to really try.

Hopefully, he can forget about gambling and build a better life. He really had to start all over again and without gambling.

Do you say Greed!!  This story is a thrilling one and usually a rare cases of gambling experience but i think he's an irresistible gambler that spend lavishly at such not thinking there would be better means of doubling his winnings and again he's usually on the lucky hand to have such wins but what's advice is that he should be diligent in his spendings even if he's not using much funds to gamble but he should take a wisely decision whenever he makes such big wins.
So I don't think is greed,he's just being callous over the end outcome which he'll regret.

Sometimes we tend to buy things that we don't really need and just bought it because of the sudden desire. Usually for having more than enough money and can't think about of what's beneficial. The money that didn't came from hard-earned is often easy to spend rather than the one that you have worked hard for. Well, it's a human nature to have such behavior and it's not an isolated case.

The main problem here is the behavior of the gambler when it comes to gambling. He is already fortunate to win huge but not firm enough to keep his words to stop. Because if you don't have self-control, it's likely that you'll lose again everything that you already earned.

So the main problem here is about self-control. In fact, he says he had negative balance in his bank account in the first place, so his wrong behavior doesn't seem to be something new.

I agree that easy money goes more easily too than hard earned money, but the case mentioned in the OP, and also some other ones we read from time to time in different topics inside this section are quite extreme and their protagonists should seek professional aid.

If there are 70% of people in this world, of course we will see people doing things that are unique and not accepted by other people's common sense, regarding the behavior they do, especially if they go to a casino house, those people really have a behavior that other people can't afford.

There are many people in this world who are addicted to gambling, but they only focus their addiction on gambling, not on other things, for example buying things they don't need or other things, maybe he has a lot of money, of course it's up to him to do whatever he wants, what is clear is that I think it's fun for himself, not with other people.

That's a sad story, and 100% emotional gambling, as he says, it doesn't matter how big the win is, for a gambling addict is never enough. But he already do the first step to solve the problem and that's to recognize that he have a problem, so, he is not on the wrong way right now.

And winning huge to lose it all is something that happens every day in casinos, i know it sucks, but is how casinos work.

If my understanding of the story I read in this section is correct, it seems that the gambler who often wins playing gambling has no content. And that kind of behavior in a casino is difficult for a gambler. Because he doesn't notice to himself that he is just giving greed a chance to devour him.

So I think as long as it's still early enough that he can change it little by little, he should do it instead of it being too late, which will make it difficult for him to get out of it in the end for sure.

If the subject were reading this right now, he would immediately quit gambling. You wrote it just as it is and if he were going to be honest with himself, he would agree that a lack of contentment, and greediness are some of his weaknesses.

You are right. He needs time off gambling and a very long one at that. And suggest that while he is on that break, he should see a therapist. If he can't afford one he should speak with one who he can confide in about his addiction. These actions alone would help him to break free and develop the right mindset about gambling.

As a human being then there's no such thing to be enough on which we would really be thinking that there's something more after we've been able to achieve something.
Its true that there's no such thing about contentment because on the time that we have achieved those goals that we had set out, then we would really be tending to make
another step on which you would really be looking something more better or something more bigger. This is why it would really be resulting out into those kind of decisions on which we know that this
could really be making out those kind of probabilities which it would really be a devastating thing. If you wont really be having such good control then you could expect on what are the things
that could happen.

Yeah, hopefully that this story will give the hint to the gamblers that are also suffering right now or having the same experience that they're dealing with right now.

Many gamblers can't help themselves but to justify their addiction and will reason out that they can't help it but does nothing to stop it.

As for this gamblers, he has satisfied himself probably his inner childhood to have those xboxes and things that he's bought but I am afraid that sooner or later, he might able to sell those cheaper.

Perhaps we could just conclude that the number one reason why the government mostly frowns at gambling and are so apt to tax winnings from gambling, is because of the greed that accompanies it, in that, one just can't have enough of it despite losing or winning. Am sure such spending spree from winnings from gambling contributes to inflation in a country or for the product price itself.

 When there's a win, and in the cases I have seen, wins comes to those who may not even be in dire need of the money won at the moment, so the winner either splashes away the funds and gamble some more or invest in real assets, if they are responsible enough.

When they are very greedy or always want more than what they have, never being satisfied with the little they have accomplished, it may result in emotional upheaval and, worst of all, loss.

The key to preventing feeling remorse is a combination of desire and happiness. It implies valuing what has been accomplished, yet having determination and purpose to be better than before. Such an attitude enables one to strive for success without forgetting about the success they have achieved. Nonetheless, it is also crucial not to forget that chance may never come many times in a person’s life. In some instances, chances appear only once, and on the off chance that we feel that we’ve been awarded with one, it’s smarter to be thankful for it instead of squandering it. Being aware of this could act as a cue for us to evaluate our possessions and appreciate the present moment with contentment and gratitude.

In his post, he mentioned a bunch of terms which he considered himself as one. It's already in our nature to be greedy, addicted in gambling and buying stuffs that we don't really need. So, many people can relate with him but it's nice that he didn't open those items yet.

I'm thinking that maybe he still can return it? And get a refund for the money that he pay for it. He still ends up as a winner there (not a loser), so he should not despair too much. He only want to ensure that he should not play gambling again because he has a hard time controlling himself. A lot of money can be made in gambling if we are lucky and then if we have a big capital like him. We must also have the balls to bet higher.

If he bought it from an online shop, there should be a window where he can return the products regardless of what happened with the package. At least that's how my experience goes with online shop in my country. He can also resell those stuff if the seller doesn't accept his returns as mentioned above, not necessarily at a loss if he can be smart about it. Not sure which choice is better if his mental health doesn't improve first. I think it is quite difficult for a problem gambler to get better on their own, so even if he made a decent amount of money before, the loss will still haunt him. I don't think it is easy to just "not feel despair", especially after you lost thousands of dollars within a minute or so. I think he needs some outside help, considering the signs of addiction are already there. Even if he got lucky in the future his mind will likely rationalize anything to make him gamble again.

These types of gamblers are the type of people who belong to the show-off gang, like when they buy things they necessarily don't need because they want to have people around them have them or to show others that they can afford some expensive shit and still look good. 
 
The guy was lucky to win games, but he misused luck and could not control himself, which is why he also ends up losing more than half of the money back to the gambling industry. He can still make his way out of it if only he can discipline himself and move on, setting a limit and staying with it no matter the amount won during that period.

This is the usual scenario where they can avoid it by simply regulating themselves with certain rules to follow. If you have that chance to exit and take the profit, that could be satisfying but that gambler decided to continue and as expected, he’ll lose that money. Addiction is something that you have to address seriously and yes the first step is to acknowledge it and now, I hope that gambler will commit to become more responsible and choose to be more positive when it comes to addiction recovery, that buying staff you don’t need should be address too.

 There are some people that luck smiled on but they misused it an that dude is one of them, I think he seriously needs help because he's not only an addicted gambler but a reckless spender which is very bad for an individual. There are some individuals that are seriously hoping that such opportunity would come their way but they ain't lucky enough but then luck smiled on that dude twice and he wasted it.

 The only tangled things i could say he did was funding his mom, donating to charity and changing his car tires, the rest are a waste. I bet he thinks such opportunities would always come his way since it came twice and that's why he didn’t make good use of his profits, if only he had invested such amount of money or channeled it to a good business. Well all hope is not lost at least he still got 9 bucks left if only he've not spent it on unnecessary and he could as well sell those consoles and invest it on something better.

Ehnnn, I like the fact that he told himself the truth - "No matter how much is made from gambling, you'll still long for more" - and that's just disheartening!!

---

I can tell alot of his mixed feelings; creating an imaginary scene in my mind and .....he's sitting there in anguish and remorse for whatever actions probed him into gambling in the first instance.. it's painful!!
Feeling regrets is just fine but, there's absolutely nothing else you'd do to kill the urge unless your mind agrees with it. Gambling has been made in a way that a one-time winning would automatically invoke your mind; so the worst decisions to ever make is succumb to it.

He is an addicted gambler and compulsive buyer. He can't manage his money properly and keeps spending funds with useless things, although we can't deny he used part of the money for constructive stuff, like paying debt, supporting his mother and donating to charity... Anyway, a large part of that money he used to pay for eletronic gadgets and videogames could have been used to start new investments which would help bringing financial stability to his life. I believe he had opportunity to do so, but chose to not do instead, because his avid appetite for gambling was stronger than everything else.

There is still hope, I believe. Everyone can change their lives for the better if there is enough will power and determination to do so. He can overcome his gambling addiction and educate himself to deal better with the challenges of daily life involving the impulses for buying stuff he doesn't really need or care. There are efficient therapies focused on treating this kind of person, and they have showed positive results along the years when the patient remains commited to the treatment and the strategies to control anxiety and compulsiveness.

As long as we are alive, there's hope to hold onto. Sometimes, a person just need some unforgettable situation in his life or being in the tight position, before he comes into his senses. And change for the betterment of himself. It is only a matter of time before someone does make a U-turn of his lifestyle. Also, if he is aware of what he is doing, then, he still knows the right and wrong path to take. Because most addicted gamblers have no concept of what's really going on with his life.

Another lucky gambler who turns his luck into sorrow was given the opportunity to enjoy all that he had lost to gambling and was able to win a large amount more, which is not that common to see on the casino these days.
 
Good for him; he was able to use the money to give the family something and settle some financial needs, even though he bought things that were not necessary.
 
People who are close to him should try and advise him to take the right steps and avoid gambling for the main time. Let it be that it's still part of the winning that was lost back to gambling before it gets to a point where he might end up borrowing just to fulfil his gambling desire.

Cases like this story are cases that often occur in gamblers who have a tendency to play excessively, we can refer to this based on the text in the screenshot of this post. a gambler who tells about his gambling, starting from his gambling and winning his bet. Actually, this person was quite lucky with his bet, to the point that he got quite a big win in my opinion. He even bought several things online with the money he made from gambling. This gambler also said that he couldn't seem to stop. Apart from that, he said he was still sitting on a lot of items that he could possibly resell to use as gambling capital.

IMO, for me, a phenomenon like this is not something foreign to us. There are many gamblers who do the same thing when they are lucky, and spend on things that are not really important to them. Well, usually this type of gambler is a gambler who is still unstable. I mean, someone who is not mature enough for his age. so he buys something that is not really what he needs, but what comes to mind. he was also willing to sit for hours, spending a lot of time on gambling sessions. in general, the person who is the topic of this thread has experienced his or her gambling addiction. He even claimed that it seemed he would never be able to stop and would never be satisfied. well, there are no other words, psychologically gambling, this person is experiencing disturbances due to his excessive hobby. So, as you said, this could be a valuable lesson for us.

Well, I hope that things with that player are more aware, there are many things that I have seen and that I have witnessed in physical casinos that many people when they run out of money ask for credit and it is not just any credit, they ask for sums of money that I interpret it as if it were a loan, of course I have also realized that those same people are from a privileged class, so they are in the casino the next day paying that debt and with more money to play, I believe that each one has their own capabilities, That has been one of the things that I have been able to see, in online casinos I have not yet been able to see that they give people any credit, but it is something that they should Implement.

This doesn't go just for this guy, this is the story of millions of belligerent gamblers out there, same shit and everything.

Only thing salvageable about this story that's really unique is the fact that he's still able to pay debts with the money that he won through gambling, goes to show that he's not a complete degenerate like what he thinks. A lot of people will see that as a liability and something that could take away at their chances of earning more money in the casino, ending up with them not paying and losing all their shit in the gambling site.

At the end of the day, it's all about what you really do after you gambled that would determine if you're bound to become a gambling addict or if you're able to snap out of your shit and become a sensible and responsible person again, at this stage (losing a huge amount of money for the first time that is) people are more prone to looking introspectively and just realizing the gravity of their actions. What they do after this is what would differentiate them from gambling addicts. Are they going to quit for a while, become a smarter, more responsible version of themselves, or are they going to splurge their shit and not leave a crumb?

Looks like a normal gambling addiction to me. Addicts usually aren't most effective with money, especially when they happen to be addicted to making money with luck.

And part about being a degen that sound like self degradation over the lost money. It sounds like a coping mechanism, as he could have been smarter. And he basically tells that not all his choices were dumb, but i feel he can't take credit from them. Instead he just lists them like giving money to his mom and paying debts

So it wasn't all dumb choices. And buying tech and stuff isn't usually worst choice. Those can be sold again if needed. I understand perfectly well that sometimes someone needs to spend their winnings. Because that's part of the lifestyle in gambling imho. It's not all savings, if at all. Spending winnings is as rewarding as winning. Ironically sometimes even when we spend them on gambling

Impulse control would make him a rich man, he just needs to set a rule to take some profits and he'll be good.   He could fix this, be optimistic as negatively viewing such success even after you screw it up doesnt help.  Some people never get that luck to begin nevermind the losing part of it.  Maybe he should be more generous with friends and family then he cant lose it all as he included others in his win and theres no chance to lose it all after you are generous to make sure others share in the win.

This means that nothing is impossible in this world, Although yes as we know that getting out of gambling addiction is a very difficult thing to do for someone who is already addicted but in the end as you said that they only need something unforgettable in themselves which is something that makes them really feel traumatized or simply put, there is a possibility that gambling addicts will be able to recover if they experience something as a result of their addiction to gambling that is really bitter that befalls their life and also that makes them feel traumatized and I believe that there is a possibility that the person reaches a realization in himself when they are already in a situation that is full of stress. This means that I agree that it does not mean that an addicted gambler can never recover, because in the end there is always something that can lead them to recovery even if they have to experience something very bitter first and maybe yes it is a matter of time.

Money will run out if it is not used in the right place and buying things that are not needed is something that gamblers often do. The money we earn in gambling is usually easier to spend and very rarely do people have the control to buy something they need. People consider money in gambling to be hot so it is easier to spend it in uncertain places and it is very difficult for them to use the money in more productive places.

Advising people involved in gambling is not easy because they have their own understanding in assessing gambling. But there is no harm in giving advice as long as they have a friendly or fraternal relationship. About taking out a loan to gamble is a big mistake and if he does that it means he is starting to get addicted to gambling.

That's what I've always said, It's quite hard to give an advice to other people especially to a gambler because gamblers have their own rules in life and even if we advice them what's good for them, they will not follow that because some gamblers is in the point of their life that the only thing they will do is to follow their own intrusive thoughts. When it comes to spending money, it's easy for a gambler to waste money on things that aren't that important because they already have it in their mind that the money they spend is something they can easily get because of gambling but of course we shouldn't have that mindset because it's not we always win, right?

         -    I also agree with what you mentioned. It's really easy to spend the money won on the things we love, but the money won in the casino is not easy to get because usually in the casino, when a gambler plays, he always loses in the end.

That's why most gamblers are always in tears in the end because they always lose and only differ in the amount that can be lost in casino gambling. It's even worse to gamble on debt; it's not a normal habit, in my opinion.

That's what will happen when you can't control your lust and greed - you'll gamble irresponsibly and you'll buy things you don't really need in the first place. Many gamblers are like this, where they are blinded by their momentary winnings, and use the money on consumer things that they don't need, but because they are blind and don't have long-term thinking, in the end they just use the money as they please and don't think that the money will run out, because the most important thing is how they can satisfy their lust. That is a completely irresponsible person and such people usually will not learn from their experiences.

That is what confuses me the most about the situation narrated by that person, they won a lot of money but instead of investing it or even spending it in stuff they really wanted or needed, they just bought whatever they could, and once they lost everything they realized their mistake, but how is it possible they can be so blind? After all, even if we were to recognize they are addicted to gambling, such behavior cannot be explained away with just that, so it seems to me they have several other underlying issues, which could make it a lot harder to ever recover from their gambling addiction.

Therefore, you should always be able to write down your expenses on paper or in excel. It is necessary to know all your expenses and treat money very carefully. We can say that each of us in the present takes care of ourselves in the future. And you need to love yourself, the one that you will become later. You can't live in the present, and it's very important to follow money management. That's why some people are rich: they take care of the future, being careful about spending in the present.

If we have a relationship of brotherhood or friendship, perhaps giving advice is a way for us to love them, but if the advice continues to be ignored then it is not a problem because at least we are willing to remind them. They have chosen their own path to be involved or not in gambling and they also have views on how gambling can have a bad impact when they are not able to control it.

Likewise, when managing money in gambling, it is even difficult for them to control themselves to spend what they need so that the money they get from winnings is wasted on unimportant needs. Generally that's how gamblers spend money and they have absolutely no planning for spending money.

Everyone has their own views on how we should be involved in gambling and when they lose control when gambling, they will end up having a much worse impact. It is not easy to win when we gamble and maybe we will lose a lot of money if we are not able to be responsible when involved in it.

Regret always comes too late and anyone will regret it after being faced with the problem. Don't gamble using borrowed money because it will be much riskier than using your own money, so be careful when you want to gamble at any casino.

To this I will add that people in general have a completely flawed image of those that are rich, in their minds the rich are people that squander money without a caring on the world, but the opposite is the truth, while they do spend money in luxuries most of us cannot get, in my experience rich people are some of the most cheap persons I know and they try to save money on everything and keep track of their expenses like no other, so if we want to some day own even a fraction of their wealth, we need to imitate them and keep a close eye on our expenses.

That's the problem that's hard to remove when you become addicted in gambling, if you're the type that keeps on moving forward and you just can't let yourself stop when you have nothing.

So, you resort to the choice of borrowing money just so that you can gamble and lose more.

And to the guy involved in the story that OP shared, he got some things, he got money before and that's a personal attitude towards holding money. One has to practice how to be good in managing it when you've got it on your hands.

That person is definitely a degenerate gambler, I don't think that he's addicted to buying stuff that he don't needs though, it's more like he doesn't really know how to use the money wisely, it's natural though since gambling addicts are financially irresponsible so it's not surprising that they're doing this just so they can satisfy those temporary cravings and gratifications. I must say though, I think that this person needs to be looking on the bright side of things, he helped his mom and donated to some charity and those stuff that he's bought, he can probably sell it to a profit. The best that this person can do is probably seek professional help because basing from the post, my conclusion is that this man is a gambling addict through and through and no way that you can live your life struggling with that addiction if you know that those activities are self-destructive to you as a person.

 This is an example of someone who luck smiled on but he decided to spend the money recklessly. One thing about people like this is that they will always think luck would come very often or always be on their side but no, it does not work that way and too bad he has learnt the hard way. Gambling luck occurs to very few people daily, sometimes it may give one a fortune and if the person is not very wise enough they might still end up losing everything to gambling and before they know it, it has become very late for them to realise they are doing the wrong thing. He's not only a reckless spender but he is greedy as well else he would have take profit and leave when he had he opportunity to. This should serve as a lesson to him, next time instead of buying items he does not really need he will  use the money establish a good business or invest in assets that could yield him better profits in future. Gambling is meant for fun and entertainment but he is an example of people who made huge profits through it, if only he spent the money wisely.

The line between greed and addiction is almost same but then when we talk about gambling addiction, it has a wider conceptual meaning and that separates it from greed driven partially, most of the times, those gambling addicts can spend axcess money without their knowledge so if they are greedy they won't be spending such an amount without cautions.


But at the bottom of it all is that gambling addictions have alot of negative impact on the individual regardless of they greed level, that is why we need to do everything possible to stay free from getting into addiction in the first place.

There is no question that the person is a degenerate gambler and at the same time the person is addicted to gambling. Now the person might have good luck so the person is able to handle everything but when the person has bad timing then the person would have nothing to do.

In gambling, we are fully attached to our winnings and always remember them whenever we are betting hoping that we can duplicate or even exceed our biggest winnings, and we tend to forget our worst and biggest losses, that's what happens to that guy he is not chasing his losses he is trying to duplicate or exceed his winnings.

Unfortunately for him, it's not his lucky day ever, he is still good he still had that 40% from that 89k winnings, the guy is addicted to gambling and he needs help before in his session he experiences losing everything and becomes deeply depressed, he needs guidance so he can recover from this addiction.

Of course, greed in gambling will be very detrimental to ourselves as a result of greed in gambling and we will also spend a lot of money that we use for gambling, even when we have won the bet, we continue to bet on what we are playing so that we lose and lose all the winnings. that we have got, when gamblers cannot use the money from their winnings properly of course they will really regret it when the money they get from gambling has run out and it will be very rare for those who gamble to be able to manage the winnings they have gotten and more Many of them continue to use their winnings to have fun.

People aren't completely wrong, but it is just that they consider the wrong people for their thoughts. They think all the rich spend money without keeping a count or something, but this is only the case with some people, especially the ones who aren't directly earning the money they have access to, for example, if a father is a millionaire or a billionaire, the son wouldn't care about anything, he will spend money here and there and won't even keep a count about it.

However, the father who is earning the money or have worked hard to reach where he is today will always be concerned and will keep a track of where the money is going and how much is being spent and it is important for someone to stay aware about their finances because it is a part of being financially literate.

This is nothing but pure madness and addiction. This is the pure example of gambling addiction and desire. He kept on buying the things which cannot by used by him. He is behaving like a rich brat due to this and continuously betting although not winning much from it. These type of addiction will be stopped when he won’t have more money to gamble. People just need to avoid this type of people and never get influenced by this.

If you're lucky but luck is not something that comes to you most of the time it's rare and before it comes we already lose a lot of money chasing that luck so we can make a lot of money and luck comes in an unexpected times and circumstances, so don't play money that you can't afford to lose thinking that the next session luck will be on your side.

Too much of anything can destroy and when it comes to gambling you will be devastated because you can lose all your material possessions, your mind, and your relationship leaving nothing and always it's too late to regret and blame gambling, it's better for a gambler to check his behavior.

For me that guys is greedy that is why he lost it all. He does not put any limits on his bets and he also is thinking of something that might work but unfortunately it doesn't. Superstitious belief won't work in gambling so if you think God wull help us with our gambling activity we're totally wrong because it was all about luck. That is why it is advisable to just only use extra money so it won't hurt that much if we are having misfortune in gambling. But atleast that guy just donated something to charity. 😅

This is a risky behavior, the individual does not care about money, and he will soon regret it and realize  that it is important to save money when he badly needs money and doesn't know where to get it because he is an extravagant buyer


Control and moderation are everything in whatever you do and there's much more in gambling those who gained a lot when they were new to gambling are the likely people who now cannot control their addiction because they tasted how it's like to win a lot of money.

You are right, or partially right, if you ask me, I do not think it's such a bad thing to be greedy, being greedy have atleast helped most people make a little or much more money than they should have ended up with, but I think the important thing about being greedy is to know when to draw the limit, too much of everything is bad, so it's commonly said.

And speaking about God helping and luck in gambling, I will have to disagree with you there, we can't do without God in every thing we do, whether it be gambling or whatever, and you must understand that believeing in God is not superstitious believe, for neither you or myself created you or me, God made us, so we must depend on Him in everything, for it takes good luck to win in gambling right? God can give us that good luck to win if He wants, this is why we must never depend on ourselves all the time.

You are right that the money you win from gambling will easily run out if you don't spend it immediately and this person really does this by spending a lot of money to give to his mother, paying off debts and also buying things he likes even though these things are not really important to him, because if If you don't spend it soon, the money will soon run out, whether it's spent gambling again or spent having fun with friends at the bar without bringing any items because the money is used up to buy drinks and treat friends, at least he's one step better than if he didn't get any item and the money runs out without any trace.

Maybe his mistake was that he was just dissatisfied with his winnings and tried to place another bet to get more money with the money left over from his shopping, but without realizing that luck is sometimes uncertain, maybe today you are lucky but in a few hours you will be unlucky if you make the wrong move, then that's it. So be grateful for your winnings and spend it immediately and don't try to continue gambling when you get the jackpot, it will only lose all your winnings.

It is a natural instinct to want to have a little bit more than what we have now, as it is that desire that produces more wealth, makes people to discover a new science, create a new invention or go to unexplored places, if anything this natural tendency could be said to be incredibly beneficial for humanity, however if let out of control it could become a self-destructive force, so this is why we need to try keep in check or it will end up controlling us.

Yes, everyone in gambling or every gambler has the different time there is always a happy time for different gamblers when you will enjoy your gambling strategies because you may be recording a lot of lost and you will also record winning when it comes to the time it’s just a different and the simple fact,when it’s your time it’s your time when you are supposed to win, you win it just so I wouldn’t see a problem whenever I’m losing because the winning time will come

This guy really has a whole lot to deal with because if he eventually gets the money which seems like his main reason for gambling you will find out thst he will most likely just lavish the money without making good use of it and that is why he will most likely result back to gambling because thats like the only way he would be able to still make back the lost funds but then on a second taught he giving to charity was taughtfull if him but buying things he actually doesn't need and probably not interested in feels to me like a mental disorder that he needs to take care of but then he's been unable to because he do needs help actually.

Lessons learnt from this story is within the fact that you wouldn't be satisfied even if you get to hit jack pot severally because you are addicted or probably don't have a good financial management skills and aswell you seem not to have something else doing away from gambling so it keeps you always coming back to the casinos regardless of how much you are able to get from the casino because all you do is just spend the money and not using it on something that may eventually get to help you be a better person beyond gambling.

Gambling does not always win, it depends on luck, this concept gamblers believe until they become addicted to gambling. But when someone gets addicted to gambling they don't believe in this concept and they think that they can win gambling with their predictions.  And thus they start to think gambling is very easy. That's why they get addicted to gambling a lot. And those who believe that gambling depends entirely on luck use gambling very carefully so their losses are very less and sometimes they can win something good depending on their luck. And then they can use them for other purposes because they have that responsibility

But I think it will be different, basically what actually happens is that greed always puts everyone in bad condition, they will forget boundaries and self-control because they are too ambitious in just one goal.
So far, if we calculate it in percentage terms, the greedy people who get better and bigger results are only small part and the majority of them are destroyed in some way, whether financial or mental.
Indeed, this is an innate attitude and everyone will have it but they always fail to suppress it so as not to destroy the self-control that has previously been well established.

In my own opinion, even though there are good things that can be gained from this kind of attitude, it is still bad attitude and should not be followed by everyone instincts.

Luck is usually ignored by those addicted to gambling. They think that winning bets is under their control through predictions plus strategies, which makes them view gambling as easy and they try winning all the time, a behavior that deepens their addiction.

However, people who know that gambling is mostly luck based are more cautious in their approach. They appreciate the risks involved and therefore do not bet indiscriminately. Instead they bet with small amounts so losses are minimized: although meager winnings can sometimes be made. Those small amounts can still be used for other important needs if not lost, for instance on family responsibilities or personal needs such as buying medicine or food.

What sets these groups apart is their approach to gambling, one falls prey to the mirage of control and certainty, while the other stays grounded in realism and prudence. They acknowledge that chance plays a significant role, steering clear from blind faith in predictability or control. In essence, their outlooks on gambling diverge sharply based on this fundamental belief.

You are correct in what you just said and that is why we always advice everyone to seek for help or support from an experience counsellor, families or friends to help them or preventing them to fall a victim, because with the help and support will make one not to hastily make decision when they win and wants to have quick money through the means of gambling which is bad and might leads to destruction if their dreams doesn't come to actualization.

The problem is some people doesn't wants to listens to other people advice. They thinks that's their money and they can use their money for anything they wants and don't consider that the suggestion from people around them is not good. If they can thinks about it for a moment, they will see that their family members suggest them to use the money for a good thing and not just to buy many things that they don't needs. Besides that, they must knows how to identify the primary things and the other things so they can use their wins money for their lives. Winning the big money from gambling games is a once of a lifetime chance so they must use the money with right and not waste it for unnecessary things. They can saves their money for their future and prepare their children lives so they will not face a problem in the future.

It was interesting to read this story. He was lucky, so twice more. A win that is higher than 1,900 times! I wonder what he was playing at? Are there any such winnings in slots? Nevertheless, we saw the presence of a man who could not cope with self-control and could not tell himself to Stop.

I've always misunderstood such people. Is it really not clear that you can't always win like that?
If you're lucky once, then you're damn lucky and you should just stop. But there are so few stories with a happy ending...

Sometimes people feel defensive when you give them advise, like you're taking their freedom. However, financial freedom comes from sensible, not impulsive, choices. Family counsel is sometimes annoying, but those people have been through a lot. They may be good at long-term planning. Put portion of your paycheck into your child's education or your health instead than the latest technology. These investments pay off in dollars and peace of mind

Hit the jackpot, like a big gambling victory, and things become interesting. Suddenly having a lot of money can make you crazy. Listen, this is your chance to change your family's game. Don't only spend, consider your kids' future. Create long-lasting trusts and education funds. Building a legacy, not just conserving money

Honestly, I doubt this is a true story, but whatever it is, there is a lesson we can take when the gambler says that it doesn't matter how much we get, we will never be satisfied, and that's true because basically we always want more and better, so that's the real reason we find it difficult to stop but don't realize it.
Maybe we feel sorry for the gambler but at least he has experienced how his money grows quickly from gambling even though it only lasts for real so if he can learn from that mistake when one day something similar happens then he can be wiser in managing his money so he can benefit from winning. what you get, but doing charity to get something better than gambling is stupid, because it clearly contains insincerity and is also like taking advantage of the shortcomings that are being experienced by other people.

Yes it is indeed a good idea to seek the help of others to prevent ourselves from falling into and becoming victims of the bad effects that exist in gambling, but I don't think it can be completely successful, I understand that some help can be useful but what I mean is that it depends on the person himself, if for example they are willing to accept any advice conveyed by others but in some cases often more of them do not want to accept any advice conveyed by others to them even though in fact it is all for their own good.

This means that the main thing that must first be corrected is their understanding of how gambling actually is, because by having the right understanding, they do not always have to listen to various advice from others, because surely they will do something that is suggested by themselves, such as for example in terms of making decisions to immediately cash out their winnings when they win and not applying greed because they know that the idea is likely to eventually only lead them to regret.

The financial dependence should be begin with us,because the money earned by ourselves based on our work.The plan of expenses was the good way to save the money from the unwanted expenses.If you like the gambling,play the game with the 10-20 percentage of the income for the safety.Because gambling was based on the luck,many people thought gambling was the money making platform.Don’t risk the life savings in the gambling,even the experienced gamblers do understand the gambling and use the free money.Only the people who suffered the early loses of money will target the gambling losses.Targeting the loss was not the experienced gamblers move.

The gambler had the family,after get into the gambling most of the gamblers forgot about their family expenses.Who will take care of your family on the absence of your income.So play the responsible game in the gambling site,many gamblers forget this once the gambling legend said this.”Play the gambling with the money which you can afford to lose,because the gambling winning was unpredictable one”.So use the experience to multiple the money in the gambling,but never take big risk in the gambling.Because the gambling was programmed in both the way,the gamblers will earn and loss based on their game betting possibilities.

He definitely does not have any control over his emotions. Although he bought some unnecessary things he still went ahead and paid off debt and gave his mom 10k which was a good thing to be honest. He also bought some new tires for his car which is also a good thing from my perspective. So the 2 major mistakes he did was buying unnecessary items and chasing losses in gambling and ending up losing everything. The later is where many fail to control their emotions and that is something that the gambler would have learnt it the hard way.

Unfortunately, today's society no longer thinks like society in the past, nowadays people no longer give much importance to family, women, men and children. It has become normal for people not to think about getting married and even in the rare cases where people get married, they sign a contract in which each person keeps their assets and when the couple has children, neither parent wants to stay at home and take care of the children. , everyone wants to go for a walk somewhere, which causes fights every day. If a man, for example, is a person who likes gambling and lives close to a physical casino, then he will constantly play in that physical casino and go with his friends and come home very late and consequently have a fight with his wife. If you do a survey and ask the following: how many wives are happy seeing their husbands going to play in physical casinos? If you ask 1000 married women, I believe that more than 900 married women will answer that they are not happy seeing their husbands go to play in physical casinos

but women can in some cases be right and in other cases wrong. the fact is that even if they told their husbands not to go play in the physical casino, they wouldn't listen, so they too will go somewhere their husbands don't like them going and the fights aren't over, and with that kind of problem At home, husbands tend to spend even more money in physical casinos and become addicted and lose everything: they lose their jobs, they lose their wives, they lose their family. Even in cases where they manage to recover from addiction, they cannot recover their family

It's mostly rare to find a gambler who could control having a jackpot. The player above seem to be possessing such an amount for the first time. So, those things which he ever thought of having, he has to possess them even if he doesn't need it. Looking at the run down of how he spent the money, you'd notice how poorly organized he was with the money. That's not his fault. Hitting a whooping amount of money with no backup income to regulate how the money is being spent will cause excessive expenses.

I would add that some jackpot winners even go as far as resigning their work and focus on spending the money and gambling. Investment thoughts rarely show up, the player expects another big wins in few days. No investment will generate, immediately, such an amount like the jackpot or big wins. People who can control themselves from recklessly spending such an amount already has an experience with handling a big amount of money.

It's normal if people feel defensive because they can't always accept our suggestion so they will refuse that and say that they are okay with what they had now. I feel that family counsel is annoying but I must confess that family counsel sometimes helps us to decides because they don't wants us to face a bad things. But we have our own choice to follows that suggestion and combine with our thought so that can works properly with the situation. Using our paycheck to our children's education is a must because that's the important things to them and we as their parents must make sure that they can gets what it needs. Investments is also produce extra money for our family so we must have an investment to prepare our future.

We must realizes that we will difficult to hit the jackpot in the gambling and if we don't have luck, we can't gets it. But when we can hit the jackpot, we must set some amount for our family to prepare their future while we still have more money to used for our daily lives. We can also use that money for playing gambling moderately so nothing will be worry with our finances.

What an engaging read, filled with ups and downs what a roller coaster. I feel for this man, for surely he is the man who doesn't know a good thing when he's got it. Hopefully he hasn't lost grip of the ones he holds near and dear to him as well to only find himself crowded with all the wrong people in the wrong place, such as his predicament with the boxes of things he ordered. I think oftentimes hindsight is always 20-20 & of course when you mix random beliefs with chance you can almost bet that certain loss is lingering, unless of course you are bursting with confidence! I do hear that fortune favors the bold  8)

inspiring , there are only few of us or very few that will experience this kind as imagine more than 1900x ? that is an insane multiplier even if you only bet 1 buck then that is more than enough to win.


this is a small chance to win mate,  this is something that will never happen each time and i believe this is a once in a lifetime chance .

I admit that this will never happen to me , if does then thank you for the luck .

Indeed it's a story, cause it's too good to believe and someone who is desperate for internet likes/attention might create stories like these to satisfy their social media urge. All you need is money to bet, not balls though.

If he can able to hit 1900x on their first bet then he already gave some money to mom and bough tons of stuffs which means you made more than what you had in your bank account which means you should feel satisfied and realize that it doesn't happen everyday.

I like the way the gambler later realizes by concluding his words by saying "No matter how much the win is, we will never be satisfied". That's too late for him to realize that because he can't never be the same lucky to win huge money in gambling again.

Humans generally are never satisfied when it's about money. They keep longing for more money in a quick manner that will depend on luck or risk without wanting to build or start up another way to make money that depends on luck to excel.

It's hard to find a gambler who wouldn't act the same way if they were as lucky as Degen, who made his gambling wins to buy unnecessary things he doesn't need or give to charity or give to impress, thinking that they are doing good while they are losing their opportunity to establish oneself to be made in life by starting a new business or hustle than engaging back in gambling for more wins because that will eventually take back what won.

The gambler is speaking out of depression,he got everything wrong by spending the money he won on things that he does not need and interested in.The chance of winning in gambling is not as easy as every gambler would think so the right thing to do is investing on your wins or get something valuable that mean alot to you,just like I came across a thread on this forum on how a member used the wins from gambling wisely to get something  valuable. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5480625.0)Most gamblers that knows gambling is not a source of income will do something important with their wins(investing/establishing a business) and not continue gambling with their wins with the expectation of winning more.

This is so unfortunate for him, I think he acted so impulsively because of the greediness and wanting to earn more and more not thinking of the consequences and not putting the possibility of losing in his head because he was certain that doing good things like donating money will have a good reflect on his gambling activities. I feel sad reading that post because this person has an obvious depression out of what happened to him and it is completely understandable because no one could handle such big loss. Being broke for so long explains the reason behind buying such useless things out of happiness and excitement.
He might sell the unopened stuff in those boxes and get back at least some of money to survive for few days, he should also stay away from anything related to Gambling at least for now instead he should work to heal his mental health.

This is what people who want to win big always forget that no matter how big they win if they don't appreciate their win by using the money to take care of important things, they will lose it all again because they will never be satisfied with whatever amount of money that they win. Addiction can make you feel that you can win $1B, if you have won $1M,and that will make you lavish the money that you win.

This is why no matter how little our wins are, we should be satisfied with it and quit the game because if you are not satisfied and want to win more, you will end up losing it all back to the casino. This is why gambling should be done with caution and reservation, so that you don't end up like the guy in the OP.

Actually his experience or story is not new in the gambling community. A lot of people similarly underwent the same journey just like Degen. It has to do with the brain, gambling money comes real quick and appear huge in the player's eyes and he would be so excited to have gotten what he wanted in gambling. Moving forward the player would, like anybody else, be compelled to spend his money heavily on things he doesn't need. Then wager high amount of money back to the house which he'll definitely lose.

You are correct that gamblers in large quantity will still behave like him. No need to think he was too careless or reckless with the money. That's how the house takes up all the money, like in his last statement. Although, some experienced players who have won big in different occasions may utilize their funds properly due to the first experience they've had with hitting huge amount of money in gambling. I think that first timers will always act this way. It's normal. Hardly will a player use the funds to start up business.

Absolutely well said bud, and I completely agree with you, the wise thing to draw from here is that we should try as much as possible to be satisfied with every single win we encounter in gambling, for this can help us appreciate and know how and what best to use that money for, that we will be happy about, rather than gambling it all away again in a bid to win even more money.

It's exactly like you have said it, we can never be satisfied with money in general, but just money won from gambling, I believe a clear example is how we see the billionaires in the world still continue to work hard just to keep making even more and more money, money is never enough.
But again, the secret in being happy and feeling fulfilled in life regards of how much we have is in our appreciation of that which we have, regardless of whether it be big or small, our learning to appreciate helps us greatly.

They say with this is, "quickly come, quickly go". And I agree that if they don't know how to take care of the money that they have used to win and they don't appreciate it, they are going to be easy on it and won't mind losing them all again. It's hard to see ourselves in that shoe and we have taken for granted the situation when we've already won that much.

And as you have that confidence winning that amount, you're going to spend more in less than a day and lose them all entirely.

Always set the amount that you have started with when you win so that whether you lose with the remaining fund of yours, you're not going to be problematic about it. But if you're going to include all of it including your bankroll and you have been emotionally uncontrollable and if it happened once, it won't be surprising that it can happen again the second time around, third, fourth and so on.

A perfect example of what has already been discussed many times: addicts play not for the money, but for the sake of the process itself. They enjoy the process (probably even if they lose), so having won a large sum, they do not end up with gambling, but on the contrary, they become even more engaged in it and, as a result, everything they win ends up back in the casino. As for the described case, it is very good that he managed to buy some things and spend money on his family - at least he had something left.

This only proves that good things never last long with gambling. Yes, you can be extra lucky at first and win exceptional amount but if you have no control of yourself, you will still end up losing them all back in gambling. Greed will always motivate you to bet more hoping to win more, but we all know gambling does not let us win all the time. This gambler should have realized that in the first place, and not only when he lose it all and even damage his mental health. While gambling can bring you a fortune, but it will also bring you into a mess if you don’t know how to manage your gambling habit and addiction.

You need more balls to bet than just money, you need the balls to best the loses from gambling and not break down and also you need enough balls to continue gambling irrespective of your loses and not let your emotions overcome you and propel the recovery pressure and possible addiction.
To gamble responsibly, you need the balls to take such decision because its not an easy decision, consistent gamblers can testify about the magnetic force of attraction to betting more than your budget.


Its obvious you're not a gambler or a gambler just on the gambling section and not in real practice lest you'll know that man never gets satisfied in making money and its applicable in gambling, the more you win, the more you want to win more. It takes great balls to exert maximum self control and refrain from throwing more funds into the casino for that moment.
I recommend taking a break after a big win, planning your funds and using it positively, getting a strict gambling budget before thinking of gambling again.

It's a vicious cycle indeed, and experiencing a big win could sometimes back fire on us as we wanted to go to that process again and again we really don't understand why, but it seems that we are going going to the motions of it.

Good that he gave the mother some money, but he over spends it to something that maybe he didn't need. But I do understand, during the times that I also win big in casino, I will buy stuff that I will only used for a couple of days and months and then put it on the the shelf and never look back. Nevertheless, we can't blame the guy, we have gone to that same process as a gambler and we feel very lucky and thought that it will be the same the next day and the next and so we repeat it unless we gave our winnings for what's left to the casino.

Every gambler must have his or her story or experience in gambling. I remembered certain time when I was in Lagos. Then I love gambling so much. And my favorite kind of gambling is always a virtual game. That faithful day I received my salary quickly I closed from work to home so that I can go to the market to get some food stuffs and other things that i may need. On my way to the market, I stopped at a POS center and I make a withdrawal of #35,000. Immediately after the withdrawal, one mind told me to go to a bet9ja shop at the junction were I withdraw the money that I can add up this money to at least 50k and beside even if I lose the money that I still have some money in my account. Quickly I rushed to the betting shop. I started playing the game. The first three times I played they blessed me with almost 15k. The game became so interesting and then I balanced well for the gambling. After the first three that I own, I never won any ticket again. The more I played, the more I lose. To the extent I will place game of 500 just to see that I will win 200. I played to the extent that I was even begging to just get my money back without any addition no way. After a long play I got angry and left the place to check my pocket only to discover that out of #35k I was only left with #2,500. I was so mad at myself. Throughout that month everything around me was just annoying me even when I am not supposed to be angry I get angry. Honestly I faced hunger that very month. Ever since than I totally controlled myself over gambling till today. Today I can stay for like 3 months and above without gambling. It was really an experience that I will never forget in my entire life.

That's why we must be careful when playing gambling. When someone can't holds himself from playing gambling too long and too often, that will be a matters of time before he becomes addicted to gambling immediately. But those who can be wise in treating gambling will not thinks to chases the wins, even if they already wins before, they will thinks to stops gambling and enjoy their wins without have an intention to chase the wins. They will push their greediness into a low levels to prevents them from a passion to playing gambling than usual because they know that will gives them bigger risks to lose their money. But many people will not realizes about this and when they wins, they will not stops themselves from playing gambling instead will keeps playing gambling because they thinks they can wins more money.

The cause of earning more has been the driving force for most gamblers to forget that gambling doesn't end in one favor no matter how lucky they are if they have earned big from gambling or have big money with them for gambling bets.

The funny part is that gambling generally doesn't care or reconsider one finances whether they have lost miserably with their big money or once won big before they begin to lose terribly. However, gambling doesn't care about those things because it is programmed to be open for your stakes.

However, If you as a gambler don't advise yourself on how to take precautions or be calculative on how to gamble less, your money will be siphoned without pity or consideration by the gambling site because they never force anyone to gamble with them. You choose to gamble with them willingly

He played with Crazy Time with $35 bets... that's far away from careful gambling. I wonder how big his bets were when he played with a $35k balance?

It's an interesting story about the guy who won a lot, spent some on his house and gadgets, and then returned most of it because he wanted to win even more. He had a nice balance, and I believe he thought he would rock the house with that balance, but that didn't happen. Something similar happened to me many times, with smaller amounts. I go x5 from my deposit and instead of continuing to play the same, or even better withdrawing most of it, I raise bets and just bust the entire balance. Well, that wish to win even more and more (greediness) can really make a mess in our minds. When we sober up from that feeling, it's already too late.

I don’t understand why adults capable of self-analysis cannot consciously replace gambling with something? There are many activities that give us a feeling of progress/winning, the simplest examples are growing plants (edible or not) and computer games (especially incremental ones, they are very close to gambling in spirit). I did both, and for me these are all similar activities, so if I suddenly have problems with gambling, I know what I can switch to.

Who knows. Someone may be so lucky to hit a jackpot on his first gambling shot. This is something amazing and hard to believe but not impossible to happen.

Sometimes you will be surprised to find that people after winning a good amount is gambling are unable to spend it wisely. Some may lose it by gambling the whole amount again and losing it. Some may spend it on things that the gambler would not have bought if he had hard earned money. Since the gambling money earned is not hard earned and there is the least effort in it, you will usually find it people spending it unwisely.

I think they need to realize the if one day they won a jackpot, this is not something they will win often. The money won and spent properly is an art in itself and not many gamblers are aware of it.

That's the question we wants to knows the answered because by using $35 and wins $35k balance is difficult and we can lose all of that money if we are not lucky. But that man is really lucky so he can wins that much money.

We knows that continue playing gambling using more money can leads us to gets lose and even that can makes us loses all of our money. If someone can wins much money, he can allocates his wins money to the right needs and he can saves the other wins money for his future. He will not have a problem in the future because he can uses his wins money with right. He can have a better future than before and with his wins money, he can use it to have new business that can gives him more money. That's a wise step from someone who can wins from gambling and we can also do the same as him.

The temptations of gambling makes them forgets to replaces gambling with something that can helps them to stay away from gambling. It's normal, especially if they often playing gambling in their spare time so they will feels difficult to stops their habit in gambling. But they must trying to learn to controls themselves so they can reduce their gambling activity and doing other things that can gives them the other pleasure. If they can realizes that gambling can makes their lives in danger, they will do other things and will not use gambling too often because that can makes them in trouble. They will knows how to fills their spare time by doing the other activities so they will not attract to playing gambling instead just use the other things that will helps them to reduce their time in gambling.
