gambling..its taking me out..

[benq1]

it is not even 1 year since i have been introduced to bitcoin and i have already lost 1+ btc in gambling with not much profit, as whatever big or less profit i used to get i used to invest it again in gambling.

hey guys you all here are old bitcoin studs,please suggest me how to resist the impulsive nature to not put my money on stake, and how you guys manage to stop at that point when you think that im done and i shouldnt stake much as i will lose everything..

how to feel that point that its enough for today..

[SpanishSoldier]

I always suggest people to strategically invest, instead of gamble.

You should not be gambling is the real anwser.  No matter what you will lose eventually, the house always wins.   Not to mention there is not really a regulatory body watching these btc gambling sites.  So there is just so much unknown.

So just stop gambling.

Trading is risky but unlike gambling, you can predict your future more accurate here.

Everyone here has gambled from the moment they brought bitcoin, then if you invest in anything else that is another gamble. Everywhere in bitcoin is a gamble the trick I have found is just be happy with the big gamble we have all taken. Block them sites out of your mind because if you don't you have many unhappy days as you have already, they will only get worse the more you gamble trying to chase the original losses. Don't even play a little if that leads to more.

I will be honest that sounds like how I used to feel when I used to play high stakes poker on Saturdays and Sundays, knowing that them games were playing without me used to drive me insane because I had won a few of the tournaments and felt I was missing out from winning again. It was dealt with by not logging in so basically ignored them feelings however hard, after time they become easier to ignore and before you know it you only play when you want to not when you feel you 'need' to. Without being funny towards you, you should search google for ways to help with your troubles because what worked for me may not work for you, but you should know you are not alone!  

[gentlemand]

Put your coins in the most convoluted cold storage possible and store them with someone else you trust implicitly.

I've never had the gambling gene so I've no idea how it feels, but it sounds like you have a compulsion.

From listening to you, there is definitely hope as you have realized it is getting out of control early on. You now have the chance to nip it in the bud and not get totally hooked on it. Being pro active as you are clearly trying will help. I really suggest you do some searching on the net if you have not already, there are many people who have felt what you feel and the more people you hear how they beat it the more tools you have in your reach to beat it. You to do have a problem with it but it is early and you understand so you will beat it, please keep looking until you find what helps. Take care matey

thanks man..for lighting hope in me..

i owe you a tip..if you don't feel bad accepting a tip from a junior..oh..not even junior...its newbie..

I can tell you that I know where you have been in. I am gambling free for 3 months and still in bitcoin in many ways. I can only tell you from experience that gambling is not for everyone and it's not for me. I played for 3 years and you are lucky that it was only 1btc+ that you lost. I believe for me, my makeup and design is to not gamble and takes me down the long deep dark path. The problem is I am just good enough to win a couple just to find out that I will lose it the very next split second. The motto of "only play with what you can stand to lose" is one in which those that gamble for entertainment only. Not everyone can do that.

I can drink alcohol like once a not touch the bottle for a couple of months. My gambling is not that way. Here is what I have done.

I have gone to friends and tell them your issue. You someone that will kick you in your ass if you mess up. These are the folks that have a general interest in your livelihood.
I took off all my podcasts, my poker forums, dissassociated with poker community, took out all my bookmarks and deleted all my gambling and anything related.
Get another hobby. I chose running for me. I have lost 25 pounds in 6 months and am so happy with myself. Just hitting the pavement for me is just plain fun for me and I win every single time. No loss in that. It is a +EV move in life is what I gain. Nothing else like it.
Find another community that you can get involved with that deals with bitcoin.

I am now associated with an awesome community, http://grindabuck.com and I love it. I make some bitcoin that and share in that with others. There is a loyalty program and with our new site, we will have competitions and really further involve a great community aspect. You get paid for your online activity and you earn bitcoin a lot faster than any sort of satoshi earned faucet. The community is great and we are in the process of building a site to really expand on our community aspect and would love for you to be a part of it.

The ideal solution is to just stop gambling.
But as you said, it is hard to resist the temptation when you are addicted to it.

So I would suggest you use a very stringent cold storage to save your BTC. Just create a paper wallet and put it in a bank locker (or any other safe storage that you can't access on daily basis or very frequently). Whatever BTC you get, immediately send them to this cold storage. Problem solved. If you can't access them you can't spend them.

1 BTC isn't really that bad of a loss.   However, what you can do is keep your BTC in paper wallet format.  That will make it slightly more difficult to spend.

[TYT]

There's only one thing you can do: just stop. It might be easier said than done but only you can work up the determination to do it. Cut your losses at 1btc and just think about how much more you could lose.

I really hate gambling after loosing all my btc

That doesn't sound like a good idea. He's more likely to forget how to access his coins if it's too 'convoluted'.

Sounds like you're addicted or getting addicted. I'd seriously just do your best not to gamble and find something else to distract you when you get the urge to do so. It wont be easy but you'll only lose more money and pride if you continue.

[pooya87]

join a group thingy for people who are addicted to gambling and try to quit!

if you are looking for a substitute i suggest you try trading, it has risks but at least you can predict a little.

That was the aim, I am glad that it has gave you some hope because you deserve it and anyone else who is going threw what you are and I have, it is not nice to feel weak. Just remember your not and you can beat the BS no problem. Hehe thank you for the offer! But... No friend you don't owe me nothing and I could never accept a tip from you, if I have helped even a little that is more than enough for me! Good luck and you have my pm if you want a chat, I will reply as soon as I can

don't invest money but your time, gamble with it, it's far better and more remunerative, if you are in a good healthy condition you can work for 16 hours a day(a bit stressful i must admit) but it would let you earn a big amount
