is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life?

[subSTRATA]

Whats the point to gamble then if you are not hoping to win? People gamble to win, if you keep gambling a small amount to lose then I suggest you dont gamble anymore because all the small amount collected from you gamble lost will be a huge amount in the end.

Not necessarily true. A lot of people are gambling to win without having any edge, which ofren leads into a disaster. Like all these delusional "dice solvers" who think that they've solved dice, or atleast "have a good strategy" and expect a win, when in reality they are just bleeding money away.

Gambling without hoping to win, like betting a few bucks just to make a sport match much more interesting is a way healthier approach for most people.

At first I had great expectations of quick wins and riches and after getting constantly butthurt when all endeavours in sportsbetting failed I decided to slow down and bet for fun on higher odds and if it hits great and if not just scratch that and try it again next time.

Just don't have unrealistic expectations and as people have said it already the most important thing is to have fun while doing it and if you win something in the process it's a bonus

I think having unrealistic expectations is the biggest factor that gets people addicted to gambling; people slowly tend to start downplaying losses and emphasizing the wins they get, and continue expecting the win forever.

is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life?

I'm gonna go ahead and say that gambling will never fix your life. Just won't happen. If you have the right personality for it, and you have proper financial management, it won't "wreck" your life. But the rule is: Never gamble what you can't afford to lose.

For the last 3 years my life a little bit hard because running out of money because of gambling some others addicted things..
But this year im start to manage my income and always spare a few for gambling, now i gambling just for fun with my friends except for big event like copa america or others big event..

Btw im addicted to soccer gambling not casino gambling..

soccer is the most difficult to win, I lost some money on Brazil VS Columbia, i bet draw no bet on brazil, looks like very safe bet, right?

You know i lost money on this bet, and I think most of people lost money on this game, brazil sucks, maybe I should go allin on Argentina.

i found my self broke because gambling

but because gambling too suddenly rich, suddenly be a billionaire
because gambling too you know what it is the real have fun

how about you?

is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life?

It's a sad thing to read you broke yourself and ruined your life because of gambling. Such outcome could have been easily avoided by you gambling only an amount you could have afforded to lose and stopping after hitting it or after having won enough BTC or fiat money. Gambling, like Internet or Drugs use, can lead to addictions if not proprely managed; so, the key is about gambling in a responsible way. Personally, I enjoyed the thrill of gambling however I also limit my exposure to it so I can limit risks of ruining my own real life. I could suggest you, as any other gambler, to set aside some BTC you don't need to pay for bills or foods & beverages - e.g. BTC from faucets - to fund your gambling fun habit; then if you got a really lucky streak withdraw the excess amount or invest it but if you got a bad streak you shouldn't put in further money (above the amount you could afford to lose) in an attempt to recover your losses. As You could see by my posting history, I'm used to gamble on Da Dice - a provably fair dice site with a low 1% house edge, Jackpots and a live chat to talk to other online users - mostly because I like enjoying to roll dice there due to their Pilot Mode autobetting that allow me a good degree of control on my play, even allowing me to set the end of the betting streak after a win. I used it to help me avoid my gambling fun taking control.
If you want to try it you may click on my signature or on the in my posts; however, if you're not able to control your gambling habits and such an habit is taking control of your life I urge you to immediatly seek a medical/specialist advice & treatment.

I think most gamblers just do it for fun not to actually make money. Some people go to bars, some go to clubs, some go to the movies, all those places provide entertainment and cost money. Gambling at a casino is no different.

[bajing]

I guess it doesn't matter if we just bet on little bucks there

Small amount just absolutely waste your time, better you help your parent works.
C'mon guys gambling created to make people rich, go for it! Dont waste your time to place small bet amount.
Gamble is about take a risk or nothing.

[nekochan05]

gambling don't fix my life or wreck my life too.
i only gambling for fun because it's so depends on our luck, we don't know will win or lose.
it's good when we win but when we got loss we must ready for let it go.
so i think gambling with responsibility about our finance is a better way.
this way will save us from our gambling's addiction when it's going crazy.

don't say never. it is possible that gambling can fix someone's life. i am not saying that this is a common thing or happens everyday. but it might.
for example you can win a lot of money in gambling or in lottery and that can change your life.
but ofcourse usually people get wrecked because of gambling addiction and they keep losing more and more money until they are broke.

C'mon dude, do you think someone build a gambling site to make you rich?    Gambling is not a job or investment in my opinion, but it has became a other side in sport (because I'm sport gambler). Or we can say it is a game, but in this game you need to bet money beside your time.

[Slark]

Honestly, I don't know anyone who became rich just by gambling. No one was lucky enough I guess. I know, however many people who lost their money on gambling.
I don't gamble with big money, I am not a type of high roller so I did not lose much. And the most important thing is to know when to stop if you won.  Don't try to hit the jackpot every time.

[Wendigo]

An easy fix for your troubles if you have a moderate gambling addiction is to set aside a monthly allowance for bets. This can be like say a cinema ticket every week in bitcoins that you gamble away or like a friday night out in coins if you decide to stay at home and feel bored. In this way you could kinda restrain yourself from overspending money. Of course for severe cases it's better to seek help.

there are many people that gambling fixed their lives , the gambling site will never lose but that doesn't mean that all players playing in the site will lose
even in -EV games , there are some people know when to stop
and you talked about sports betting , sportsbetting is considered as a gambling game which a little amount of people can beat it
so you can actually fix your life if you can beat the sports , and there is poker as well
my point is that there are many people can make a good money by gambling , and you can see many people that make a living by gambling and this is a fact  and you can see a lot of them ( actually there are some of them here in the forum )

No I dont think it that way. Im just saying if you keep risking small amount and lose , someday that small amount will be a big amount. Lets say you risk $1 every day, in one year that will be $365. Assuming you only lose half because sometimes you might win the game then tou will lose around $180 every year thats a huge amount I say

It's not lost if you are having fun and getting a small kick out of it. Plus 180$ is what 3 computer games?

It's okay if people got many winning from gambling, and fyi actually I made more winning than losing in sportbet and poker    But, I never use word of "fix" to describe it, I prefer "fun" 

[kralle]

For me sometimes i just gamble "high" ammounts when i am angry about something.. like my job or people ^^

If i lose i regret it if i win i am happy , but i still have my limits so for me it's more a fun

[btc-facebook]

Well that's good for you for gambling for fun only.
There are some gambler that ready to lose all what he have because people basically will never satisfied until he got what he want. That mean that we as ourself must control that attitude before it can wreck your life more deeper

You said with your assumptions that I lost in half of year, and I won remains. So, I lost $180, but got $185. Wow, I have a good news for you. I got surplus $5 here
