New to Bitcoin, lost nearly all of initial investment on SatoshiDice :(

[rini17]

I am up for any advice as to how to proceed from here.  I don't like to ask for help but lacking the knowledge some of the veterans around here have I have no choice since I lost nearly all of my money I had saved up.

Well, if you manage to save something again, just buy S.DICE stock. Then you can be closest to "get at least some of this money back"

Aight so that title might have been a bit missleading, but I have some thoughts here.

I have NEvER ever gambled in my life earlier, well that was until I discovered bitcoins.. To me it seems as if bitcoins might be a kind of gateway to gambling addiction.

It started not long ago when I got my blockchain wallet. I was going to send some coins and all of a sudden I saw "SatoshiDice" under "Games" and though woot is this. So I pressed it and saw a cool interface with odds and so on. I had some coins so I bet 0.01 on different odds and experimented with it, but then forgot it. Some weeks later I saw a thread here on the forum about the martingale betting system, and got really hooked. I started martingaling on 48% odds and won minimal ammounts (0.01) but still I won and won and won. I didn't care about googling martingale or think any more about it, because I won you know? So I started betting 0.1 btc and that's when it escalated pretty quickly. Lost 10 btc in about 10 transactions.. I promised to myself that I would never do it again.

Next time I logged into my wallet I saw that stupid SatoshiDice again, but I felt the URGE to play again, I couldn't stop myself. I told my buddy to stop me but he just laughted it off. So I started with 0.01 again since I didn't even had a coin. I left the wallet with a small profit again.

So some days ago I sold some stuff on bitmit (http://bitly.com/VIrA2o) and had 10 coins again, ofcourse you can guess what happened next. Lost it all. However, now I've sold some stuff again and got about 20 btc and I really feel the urge to bet it all on 50% odds to weigh up for the total loss of 20btc I have right now. I don't know what to do to stop myself, I'm 17 years old and have never been gambling before and now all of a sudden it's a serious addiction for me.

Please help out guys? Do you know how to stop myself from gambling? I would switch wallet but I really love the blockchain wallet exept for the fact that gambling is only 2 clicks away. Also, what do you think about bitcoins opening up a world of gambling to young people that normally would not even think about gambling?

I understand your skepticism of this being a legit post since there is a similar one already out there.  Whatever verification you need let me know, I'm not making multiple accounts to scam people out of their money.  I don't think anything I say will change your minds now that a claim like that has been made.  However, to gain a positive reputation as a legit new member, I would like to sort this out so other members do not believe I am a scammer or spammer.  

Thanks.

SD SHOULD BE BANNED! SD SHOULD SEND THIS GUY ALL HIS COINS BACK!

An Silk Road must be banned too, right? How technically it might be possible to do? He lost his coins in gambling because of bad luck or stupidity, what the SD have to do? Some people have big wins there. SD is the most transparent and honest way to gamble that I ever seen.

You're really obvious joke and sarcasm meter is really broken.  I can't imagine why so many people have you set to ignore.

The purpose of this post was to simply ask if options other than gambling are available to multiply the few Bitcoins I do have left.

Well, it seems like you already answered this your self in the OP.  Plus, I would have hoped that your would have learned from SD that you don't simply "multiply" your money.  You do what I told you: offer a good or service in exchange for bitcoins.  It's up to you to figure out what that will be.  If someone else had an idea on a way to make BTC they wouldn't tell you because they'd just do it for themselves.

Gotta be honest here, this just sounds like a troll to put a bad name on Satoshi Dice.  If not, well, you need a lot more college.

You mean collage.

And just because I chose Eminem as my avatar makes you believe I am the same person who made that post?

Thanks

You're right... The fact that you also lost money gambling on Satoshi Dice has nothing to do with it.

Valid point, I did not read that post.  I guess the fakes before have caused major skepticism when a post like mine comes up.  Understandable.

Thanks.

I would expect different conduct from a Moderator.

I would appreciate it if you would simply ignore this thread, I do not need to hear more negativity. Please

Thank you

Why? Are moderators supposed to be perfect?

I will ignore the thread if I feel like it, not because you ask me to.

The negativity you talk about is your own fault. Man up. You made a mistake. Don't expect pitty or pats on the back.
Face your failures. Share your story if you wish to, to warn others before they fall on the same mistakes you did, but your thread is nothing more than cyber-begging, even if you want to convince us otherwise.

Dude, no one cares. Seriously. Write whatever the fuck you want. If it's funny, I'll laugh. If it makes me think, I'll think. If it's sad, I'll cry. If it's  bullshit, then I'll say it's bullshit.

So this is bullshit. And right now your posts are bullshit.

Now make me laugh. And I might think your bullshit is funny. Say something smart, and I might think your bullshit is smart. Say something really smart, and I may forget you were involved in bullshit.

The choice is yours, bro. Welcome to Bitcoin.

I hope you enjoyed the lesson before you get access to higher loans. $900 is nothing in a lifetime. Some peoples lose their house, car, wife, etc. Maybe next time try to keep your bitcoins on another wallet like Electrum if you can't control yourself.

If you're looking at getting your money back, either trade your BTC using one of the exchanges, or buy yourself an ASIC and mine. Both ways will take a while though.

You might just be better putting your money in a fixed term investment in the bank where you can't get at it. I know bit coin has shown huge growth, but getting 0.5 or 1% interest a year from a bank leaves you with vastly more money than just blowing all your money on satoshi dice.

[Centaure]

Satoshidice is a nice way to test whether the bitcoin network is working properly but nothing more since the expected value is negative...

I fucked up and lost my money.

Seriously.
You gambled your DEBT, and lost. The gambling odds are that that was going to happen!
