is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life?

[smith coins]

Gambling eventually wrecks everyone's life, it's just a matter of when.

If you are not stupid enough to gamble all your lifesavings it wont hurt or wreck anybody's life, the problem starts when you get addicted to it and you use money you can't afford to lose

but it is not easy to control yourself , at least not for everybody. especially if you win a couple of times that you gambled , so it would keep bringing you back for more winning.

but if you take a look at your total winnings against total loss you would understand that you have lost more in total than you have won. and that's a fact

I think when gambling something you dont have control if you are wining or loosing so it depends on luck

gambling had no effect on my life so far because i don't do it

[fox19891989]

in gambling, speculation, investment, almost 80% of people lose money, 10% of people draw, 10% of people earn money. Even bitcoin pump from 50 USD to 1200 USD in 2013, there are 80% of people lost money, and 10% of people had earned the money of 80%.

So it is very normal to see there are so many people lost money in this thread, about 80%, it is quite normal

Im not so sure if that would apply on gambling, at least not on dice, the number of people that lose is probably around 90% or more because you are not against anyone but the house, unlike trading where other people is involved.

Trading is definitely better than any type of gambling, it's even more fun to watch your altcoins raise, or, if you are not lucky, going down ( That's not any type of fun ).. anyways, if you are bored with your coins sitting in your wallet like me, I would recommend you trading new altcoins with just small amounts of BTC instead of gambling.

not all gambling games depend on luck , and many players here have never had a losing month
the serious problem here is that most of people are discussing gambling as dice and roulette
there are many sports bettors and many poker players here doing a living thanks to gambling
for me if I make 10 dollars daily I would live a wonderful life in my country , so playing micro stakes poker with some fishes is making my life way better

I bought USD for 60 USD in April of 2013, I had a 20X profits in April of 2014(so I thought I was a winner haha), but I was screwed by altcoin, I was broke cause of scam altcoin in August of 2014. I lost 70K USD damn, and my principal was just 3500 USD(20X gaining).

So when you have profits, don't think you win cos you are not a winner until you won't play it any more. there are always only less than 10% people earn money, it is real. I was a big winner but in the end, I lost all of them.

PS: I prefer gambling against house, cause the house edge only a little, if you trade something, the big whales have much higher edges than casinos, they have huge funds and can easily manipulate the market, but legit casinos can't manipulate the results

I lost 70K USD on fucking trading(gambling against bankers/traders), but I have earned over 8k USD from gambling against casinos, so which one is better?

Nope if you know how to control your emotion, with emotion controlling I dont think you will wreck your life even though you lose a lot

The first thing that you need is how to control your emotion when you are on gambling, luck is the second thing. If you can control your emotion I think you will get some winning although it is just a little bit. And one more thing dont be greedy when you are win some cash

[agustina2]

I played gambling for fun so it's not wreck my life and besides I bet only for small amount so no worries even if I lose. But of course much better if I win.

If you are a player that doesn't know when to stop, gambling will without any doubt wrek your life.
Gambling can become a dangerous addiction, but if played carefully and wiselly you can get great profit from it!

It is like drug or like coca cola for someone that is addicted by tthem and they can not stop their self.
They try but they can not. So it is and gambling.

eventually, that might turn into an addiction. if you manage to control yourself its fine, but remember to never get greedy; casinos are for-profit entities, and there is nothing that should make you believe that you will win out at a casino. cash out when youre ahead, and know when to cut your losses and quit.

No it's probably not like this.. people addicted to gambling are gambling from early in the morning to late at night without any break and they are in a huge loss. When you are addicted to Coca Cola you don't drink as they gamble.. it's something different, but I'm not saying that addiction to Coca Cola is better than addiction to gambling.

its not that much different actually, in the end, addiction is a result of dependence, either psychological or physical. as drug addicts depend on their drug to "feel alive," many gambling addicts have stated that gambling makes them feel the same way; nothing else brings that rush they feel when gambling. and they dont have to be gambling all the time to be an addict, theres a differnce between constantly gambling and being addicted to gambling. of course, addicts will both want to and try to gamble all the time.

Gambling is a passion for me  I was be a rich guy because of gambling and now I'm a poor guy because of gambling.
But I can't give up this thing. I know I will be a rich guy some days because of playing bets . It is easy and hard way to me. I chose that

You won't be rich from gambling.. you will always lose and if not, you will win a little. I strongly recommend you to leave gambling forever or just gamble for fun with small satoshis.. If you are addicted always remember this:

Like all forms of gambling, online gambling can become an addiction that can have serious negative effects on your life.

They try but they can not. So it is and gambling.

They can if they really try it hard and most of them sure can't get it out, that is what will make they broke but some of them can get rid off it but it really take some times though

I think you are misunderstanding about his saying. He is saying about addiction that will affected you. He is not asking to stop on gambling though, you can still gamble it but not to be too addicted to it
