lost 2btc out of the few that i own the other night gambling on bitcoincasino.io..

i hate my life

just wanted to share

delete your accounts and learn the lesson
it has happened to me too,and you have to go away from that pages asap

Happened to my former husband.

He committed suicide last month. He stole money from our son, from me, other people, made up shit where he worked to get additional compensation...cops were after him for something...was 27k in debt just what he owed me.

So if you're taking risks with money you need or that you provide for anyone else, especially kids...just consider the ultimate price you pay for stupid decisions. Your life doesn't suck by any means...unless you destroy other people in the process.

Just FYI PSA  :'(

ETA for irony purposes - in June I sent him $25 worth of bitcoin to introduce him to it. After his passing I had to go through his stuff and found the wallet info he set up for block chain and just sent it back to myself so it wasn't gone forever.

At the end of the day, the only final income received from him out of everything turned out to be bitcoin.

this is very good advice.  and im a hardcore gambler. her advice isnt just for gambling , if my habits start fuking up other people,its time to dig deep n look in the mirror.

Caveat Aleo

there is a 12 step program for that.  some people need it.   :-\

On a lighter note, the next time you feel the urge to part with your bitcoin, please send it here:

I may or may not share the uptake with you...your bitcoin is going somewhere worthy and your gambling itch is scratched. Win/win.

 ;D

You need to understand that over the long run you will not win. You also need to understand is that if you are deep in a hole your chances are even greater for failure as you need to beat the odds just to break even

I gamble some times, just never bet what you cant afford to lose.

How the fuck do you people keep managing to lose such large amounts of money and still have internet access?

So sorry to hear of your loss, but please don't "hate [your] life" ! Man, we all do things we regret. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and say "I'm moving forward!". Forget the past, just don't repeat the same mistake. I understand that you feel bad. But one mistake does not define you. Move forward!

When real casino offers you free drinks the virtual casino offers you free internet access.

why don't you send them an email to block your account?

i lost 70 USD in btc and i quit gambling btc for good

"Your life doesn't suck by any means...unless you destroy other people in the process"

true words

Gambling is always fixed even if a site can be demonstrated to be provably fair.  The reason is that it is very likely that after winning that you will bet again.  And nobody wins a million times in a row.

I would bet fifty dollars on the Cubs winning the World Series next year before I would place a fifty dollar bet equivalent in BTC on any website.

Condolences to the hard stories in this thread.

Gambling can be a very bad addicition, my mother was/is addicted to the pokies and has lost heaps, probably why i dont gamble.
I just hope most of these gamblers were already gambling before bitcoin, i'd hate to find out that bitcoin gambling alone has ruined peoples lives.
All this gambling can't be that good for bitcoins reputation.

u should do sports gambling instead when u feel the itch to  toss it up. it takes longer for the outcome , dont bet too much and just treated it like ur goin out to watch an movie. u win great , u lose  ,it was just entertainment,its easyer  to move on and not chase.

I love another sportsgambling site. :)

don't feel so bad, i've lost hundreds

Gambling is habit. Once you get used to it, then you will be difficult to get rid of it until you lose everything. OP, you should learn this hard lesson!

I gamble on sports games as a form of entertainment. I know the risk and I know the reward. Sometimes im hot and winning big money sometimes im cold and losing. At the end of the day it provides me hours of entertainment. Its really the only hobby I have found where I can win a couple grand in a week. If you gambling and you don't even enjoy it then you need to stop cause that's when you have a major problem. Well that and if you gamble your mortgage money like a moron....

MUST stop gambling.
Ten bets will lose nine. Many people dissipate one's fortune because of gambling
I hope you can have a new life from now!

You are a rich man

I was never a fan of gambling because I have seen the suffering and pain of people who lost all of their hard earned money.

If you have to gamble, take up poker.

A game of skill with no house edge. Read some books, play low stakes and you can actually make money consistently.

i know what are you feeling man, even though i never lost 2btc from gambling
gambing is not good, mining will be much better so spend your btc
just keep trading or stay mining to earn btc, not to gambling

better gamble money in playing skill games such as poker, bridge, etc

Only gamble while its fun, when it stops being fun then it's time to stop all together.

Google matched betting. It should be quite trivial to earn back $600.

I think the site you are playing is a scam... Am I mistaken?

If you have to gamble, take up venture capital or a business startup project. At least you will be creating jobs, learning , and improving the marketplace.

Are there any gambling sites that are 100% nonprofit where all the profits are directed at charities in the Bitcoin space?

Yes, you need to be able to win, not leave it to chance.

This can be said of any addiction. I've only ever gambled a few times in my life but I realize how destructive it can be. When you win it's such a high, but when you lose it's an even bigger low and your first instinct is to try win the money back and this is how the problem starts. It's very hard to know when to quit, but the best option would be to not gamble at all.

play poker instead of casino games

pm me, I can help you stop gambling (seriously)

Great idea. Wonder why I didn't think of that.  ;)

They will both lead you to losing money imo...

Probably. I don't think I've ever heard of an actual success story where a gambling addict turns his life around by playing poker. I'd guess there's a selection bias among people who choose to play poker where they're probably much less likely to be addicts. Poker takes a long time to play through in most instances, especially if there's an initial buy-in and last man standing takes all (well, unless you do something really dumb, I guess) -- with a large table, you can still have high stakes and a relatively low buy-in. $20 can last you a couple hours and still feel engaging, no problem.

ETA: OTOH, poker tends to punish greed, so... maybe.

I wouldn't recommend playing Poker if you are really struggling to stop playing. You can get addicted to Poker too.

Although I do agree Poker is also a game of skill, but imo that applies mostly for real life poker and not online.

Lost 2 BTC  for your back, It's worth.  Stop gambling,

A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold

I lost 7 btc gambling(i accidentally hit max bet on prime dice instead of increase bet). Was very unfortunate, I am sitting here typing with 30 mbps internet :)

Find another outlet to spark your interest.

Wow. People like me and many others struggle to even get 0.1BTC to trade with and re-invest, but some can take 2BTC and throw it out on gambling. Depressing. Not attacking you OP, I know what addiction is like (drugs). Just saying that it is amazing :(

If you're not finding it fun you shouldn't be doing it and defiantly shouldn't be going back

Otherwise you're missing the point of gambling and have a problem.

Well said. Gambling is supposed to be fun, and once the fun goes out of it, and you continue, it becomes the problem.

0.1BTC is 35$, why would you waste hours trading to get that. Even the most simple jobs would pay more.

There are plenty of people who gamble with way more money then 2 BTC and can afford to lose it. The OP unfortunately, couldn't.

Create a 2 of 2 multisig account with someone you trust.  Put BTC in there...

Hello American, Canadian, Middle-Easterner, European, Afrikaner, or Russian. It may surprise you to know geography is the greatest factor in determining rate of pay* and that almost half of all people live on less than $2.50/day, which includes a great many employed people.

*Except for Internet weidos using magic Internet money, I guess.

I hope you learned something out of it. If you didn't, then keep gambling until you hit despair. At this point, you'll be a total wreck and forced to stop even if you don't want to.

learn how to play poker

Oh man, I'm really sorry you had to go through that. Gambling definitely isn't for everybody, especially if you have an addictive personality. 

2btc is nothing. It's more like the losing part is what pisses you off. Don't get drawn in the viscious circle of thinking if I bet more this time I will make it back. If you win you get greedy if you lose you will bet more.

You realize that even if you are master level poker player you can still lose? There is no method to constant winning. Just be aware of that.

gambling isn't an addiction, it's just a transaction, like shopping at a store.  transactions

Fine. Lump gambling and shopping addiction together for transaction addiction. I guess we could sterilize it.... "outgoing money transaction compulsion disorder."

Why would you gamble on something where the odds are against you and there's nothing you can do to counter it, if not for fun?? ...

to rationalise a purchase (for example i bet 0.02 btc to win 0.04 so i could afford MDPV on Silk Road)

poker is gambling. op wants to stop gambling. gr8 advice m8

lolz.

wat

my advice is to stop losing or stop gambling. Good luck man.

The only real way of making money is is to be one of these or a combo of some or even all.

work hard
Be smart and innovative
Do some illegal shit
or be very lucky and gamble and win big.

Idk about stop losing lol but yeah stop gambling helps a lot with a gambling problem lol.

Most people in this world hate their life. Rich guys wanna be richer, poor guys don't wanna be poorer, and us in the middle hate the middle, it's so old-fashioned.

You just gotta be content with what you have and who you are.

what if you can't, and have to get a job and save up for that thing you want

And once you have enough money to buy that car/house/wallet full of bitcoins, are you going to be happy for the rest of your life?

That's life m8.

if you like gambling, then why do you want to stop?  ;D

Because it can destroy your life.

it's like alcohol, tasty at first.  but soon you'll be drinking 12 beers a day, just to stop the shakez

it's not dude. It is a skill game, make your researches

man, I know how do you feel,
That's why I stop it

When you're in top, you want to spend it to make more
But you realize that gambling has a RISK

well obviously you didn't need the 2 btc because otherwise you would have bought stuff with it.

this seems like a case of "too much $$$"

It's both.  Yes it is a game of skill,
but any given hand or day will be
based on the luck of the draw.

Also, most people don't really
have the discipline to win
consistently.  They play poker
as an escape... and its terrible
advice to someone who has
a gambling problem.

i also lost a few btcs..not actually a btc but 0.2 gambling..never gambled after that...

gamble smarter  :)

Poker is gambling but one of the only games where you can put the odds in your favour.

It doesn't take a lot of reading and practice to become an adequate break even player. Put in more hours and you can make some real money. I know someone who has quit his job and regularly earns more than I do from my relatively well paid full time job.

Saying this, if you do have a gambling problem it's not the best advice. Playing the game with a gambler's mindset will not make you money, you have to play smart and not impulsively. Even at low stakes there are some good players but also a lot of bad - they are where the money is. Get a hud and it's easy to spot the difference.

Poker is a game of both skill and luck. You'd probably already know this if you had anything resembling skill in poker though.

You only lost 2 btc, I has seen people lost more.... The key is to stop gambling from now on :)

Same happened to me but I lost 1.4BTC . From that day I have control on gambling.

believe it or not I've actually won about 4 btc gambling.  I only play once in a while when I'm feeling lucky.

stop gambling?
simple.

if you have no btc. you can't play gambling  ;D

lost 2 btc. wow :o

Again, no.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory#Zero-sum_.2F_Non-zero-sum

The fact poker can be zero sum doesn't mean it cant be gambling.

it can become gambling. But the existence of an optimal strategy, whereby your opponents cannot have a positive EV against you, makes it a skill game by definition imho.

These casinos are horrible, you will lose your shirt and then some.

if anyone wants to gamble can send their BTC to me and maybe i will return 100 times more back. Maybe.

hahha you said maybe _not :D

Never ever do dice gambling. Play poker instead.

The odd of winning this is much lower then gambling, I prefer gambling :)

Yeah i've not heard of any stories either tbh.  However...poker connects with you in a far more positive way vs games that cant be beat, i think gamblers would find it a lot harder to make bad betting decisions after a few years of poker therapy.

Why don't you invest your btc instead of gambling them? hmmm.. Might be a good idea.

Of course maybe not. What kind of gamble that is if you always win? So boring.


You have no ideas of your chances at most of gambling. you do know them at roulette and again electronic ones can cheat.

Invest is slow, gambling is fast and fun :)

What about if you invest trading in stocks, it can be fast and fun?

.... and risky

Yes extremely risky! rather be safe and invest your btc and almost guarantee a profit than gamble and have a 50/50 chance of winning

Holding BTC is already gambling :---)

Really? There is no chances of BTC become 0 or double how would that be consider gambling?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=820029

It is a gamble but i wouldnt call it gambling, to me you are gambling when you make -ev bets.  BTC investment is +ev dont you think?

be smart set. if it is a direct profit secured, do not desire to add to it :)

but it is better not to gamble anymore

if it's a gamble, then it is gambling

I don't get it. investment = gambling?

Then by those terms almost anything in life gambling, getting a job, breathing, having children etc.  Words lose all meaning.

Investment is basically partial-skill gambling, like poker. You can cheat in similar ways, too... Maybe "cornering the ace market" is a bit of a stretch...

Should have signed up under my ref link :(

30%=0.6BTC. Wow

P.S. Would have given some back to ya

Wow, your referral is 30%?

Its only Bitcoin not really money just a big Ponzi thats all just feel glad you got rid of them.
