is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life?

[jones techbit]

Gambling can never fix your life. Instead it will wreak and leave you devastate. Someday you might win big but in the long run you will end up broke and lose all your money.

I know people who gamble for years and are in big profit and still playing with casinos money

yes the majority of people who gamble never come out ahead, there's very few gambling professionals in the crypto scene i think bipolarbob is one of them ^.^ but nobody knows how much he has spent to win the 3k+ btc from satoshidice....... i've managed to lose a decent amount in my gambling career im no professional but i don't mind losing once in awhile i guess when it's for the thrill of gambling it's all in good fun, some people get way to carried away with it though

It is quite clear from the post above that the guy gambled away his family home. I assume this means it was a home purchased by his family for him or it was ancestral property. I have noticed that people who don't have to go through shit in their lives to put food on the table every month generally are the biggest gamblers! How would they know the value of stuff if they did not have to work a day in their life to get something like a home? All the blood, sweat and tears were put in by someone else and they got the home on a silver platter. This means that people born with a silver or golden spoon in their mouths are typically the biggest gamblers.

my 2 cents on this: i think its mostly because when they start out, they enter with the mindset of: "i can spare a bit more, money isnt exactly  the first issue on my mind right now." entering gambling devoid of caution or restraint, restraint becomes harder to find as the dig themselves deeper in the red, and eventually end up losing everything they ever had.

Gambling is not fixing or wrecking my life fortunately I have number of other interest to follow.
When I have a time and when I want then I play

true lol the problem with most is that they gamble trying to earn money when gambling itself is one of the largest sinkholes for it lol

Yeah, that's a good observation. This is also the reason why some of them hit it big imo, because they are not afraid to lose. I know i would shit my pants just trying to bet above 0.2 btc at a time, the max i ever bet was 0.15 btc on a single roll which came off me me, luckily. I never dared try that again! The investment game is the best form of gambling for me now! Slow and steady, but the profits come.. with full-on gambling there is a chance i could lose all i have so i rather take my chances with investing and let the math work for me over the long term!

Many years ago when bitcoins weren't as valuable as today, I played on satoshidice. I lost bitcoin that would've been worth $20,000 today.

I didn't care back then because it wasn't much but of course it pains me today.

Well you can't blame yourself. Just like today, I played those Yobit free alt coins that has so much low value in their dice game without thinking one of them 'can' be a promising coin in the future. Today they are dust but who knows in the future.

Yeah exactly as we dont care about faucets today, who knows that 500 satoshies can worth 500 $ someday or even more,can also go down to 1 bitcoin to 1 $ .

Yeah, even though it sucks big time, you can't dwell on what could have been! I was in the same mode as you sometime ago. I always used to think i made a mistake by selling btc lower than the current market price, only for bitcoin to crash further and vindicate my decision of selling low! 

I realized that you can't cry over spilled milk as that will only make you more bitter as a person. So when clams did a number on me, similar to what happened to you, i could swallow it quite easily and move on! Still at -37 clams at JD but up 125 clams on my investment so overall its a win!

Gambling is meant to be fun and give you a small chance of getting big money, like a lottery ticket. It is meant to be fun, not to make your rich and fix your life, or be something that can wreck your life.

but the thought of people is different, many consider that gambling is a quick way to get rich

Yes its true but there are some people that playing this for fun too and in fact the one playing with fun is hitting the jackpot or something and the rest that are aim for the jackpot never hit it once. In the end they will lose their money and will wreck their life

wow, what a pity, I lost money cause of a scam altcoin, around 60BTC, it was worth 30000 USD, damn what a pain too. 

But I am happy with my 2000 USD monthly salary, what a shame.   I was not satisfied with 30000 USD last year, but now satisfied with 2000 USD monthly salary.

Wow! That's a huge loss to swallow. Which coin was this if you don't mind my asking? Well.. 2K USD a month is quite good considering some people make way less than that and a considerable amount of people who just get by the days without a proper meal. You would be considered a rich man in my country for sure! Its all a matter of perspective!

It is vootcoin scam, I involved bitcoin on March of 2013, and I bought some 60 USD bitcoin on April when big crash happened, I invested about 5k USD on btc, last year altcoin bubble was crazy, my investment on cinnicoin even made my 15btc to 150btc, but after I had some few bad tradings(invested some scam coins), I was broke.

2K USD monthly salary is high cause I am a Chinese, not an American, I should cash out 30K usd last year and enjoyed my life, but I was too greedy, wanted to earn 300K USD, lol.

This case of your life it is the best example to not gambling more. If you would have those satoshi today imagine what can you made with those. Imagine your life with those and imagine your future with those. Compare all those with the momentum pleasure have in the time you play those in satoshidice. And ask again your self: It was worth?
