I have a huge gambling problem, any advice on overcoming?

[ironman80]

40k usd is a huge money...at least for me...better stay away from gambling,or you can do only sports betting with Martingale strategy? But bet only what you can afford to lose

[srgkrgkj]

with that kind of money just convert 80% into gold that way itll take you weeks to use It and your impluses would have died by then gold is a good asset atm

You really have a big problem, keep remember you are just destroying yourself your future and your family which you support, if you cannot stay away from gambling than think that you are earning better from your company, so do not rely on gambling for your earning money, just play there for fun and always bet a smallest amount, with that you will be secured.

$40,000 USD and $50,000 USD is what you have or earn and you still gamble? I highly doubt your story to be real as it's sounds as if your trolling. There wouldn't be a sane person who would invest so much into gambling and then ask how to overcome or stop gambling. If you have too much money to burn, donate it to charity instead and get rid of your gambling habit.

This is problem facing everyone which OP stated in opening post that each time he has some extra Bitcoins he feels to use them for gambling. You had made good money and you need to realize life doesn't offer opportunities of raising so much money. It will be netter convert that in fiat and say good buy to gambling forever. I am afraid if you keep gambling you will have no different fate than most people ending up at zero.

It is a great thing that you acknowledge you have a gambling problem.  There are several ways to at least lessen that urge to gamble.  Though it will need tremendous strength and courage to beat this crap.  But along the way you need help.  You can  seek help for underlying mood disorders like depression, stress, substance abuse, or anxiety.  This can trigger  gambling addiction  and can be made worse by compulsive gambling.  Even when gambling is no longer a part of your life, these problems will still remain, so it’s important to address them.

I have lost nearly $40,000 USD in the past month gambling on bustabit, primedice, and moneypot. You would think that I would have learned that I would have learned by know, but every time I have money in bitcoin, I want to gamble it. I even lost 10 bitcoin in one roll on primedice.

I made around $50,000 last month, so I was still able to live, but it's still affecting me. I know the money I am currently making won't last forever, and I need to save it, but it's hard.

It's just burned in my mind to gamble every time I have btc, and I don't know why.

I am a partner big btc company, and am paid in btc, don't want to say which though.

A suggestion I was given was, every time I am paid, to convert to fiat, but idk...

Any suggestions are appreciated..

I had the same like you actually,some time ago.
It was about 4 months ago,when bitcoin was not so popular like now ( but the gambling btc was getting bigger and bigger ).
I had recieve many payments in btc back then,about 1,3 and i lost it all on gambling,because i could not recover...
Just think about what you could do with the money you just lost(you can lose)

[JasonXG]

Why dont you just get paid into a cold wallet ? You can even have one for every time you paid. This way you won't have access to all your money at a time. Converting to fiat is not going to help as much as you think.

He said that he is working with a big company so it means that he can afford tat much amount for investing in gambling, I will not suggest him to invest that much which he can afford but I will suggest that invest only that amount which is the minimum allowed for playing there.

What i can only advice is either you go to rehab i guess it is more effective or you directly buy things you wanted everytime you earn money from your ptc site

Get a relative to save your money for you. I am bot good at handling my own money myself. I also gamble with them once I know I have extra money to play with but I decided that it is not ideal so I asked my sister to hold my ATM where I convert my bitcoin to fiat and I will not be able to access it.

[BitcoinSupremo]

Even if you OP are working with a big company you have clear signs of gambling addiction which could lead even to you not focusing like you should in the work you do with this big company. Not only you will lose money from this kind of behavior via the gambling you do mostly in game of chances I see but you also risk to lose your job and make things even worse. You should go seek help in whatever way you can and should have a priority in solving this problem otherwise things can go from bad to worse in a matter of days.

with that kind of money just convert 80% into gold that way itll take you weeks to use It and your impluses would have died by then gold is a good asset atm

Yeah, that is a right suggestion, try to love with gold and invest your 80% into gold, with that you will have another hobby and will remain away from losing at gambling, and the second point is that gold is not easy to deposit in gambling sites as many people are getting addicted to gambling only because of ease of bitcoin payments.

[lorylore]

Instead of gambling with your btc, why not convert your attention to invest in btc. It is similar to gambling but it is not such a quick process. You will need to do some research and study if such project is profitable. You may even feel more rewarding if you can spot the right trends. And through time, you will master the skill to analysis well and that is gonna help you in the long run.

What !? Why are you here if you say such things ? Bitcoin is much better then gold interest.... -_-
seriously dude....

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Stay off the gambling section of bitcointalk, that's for starters.  I probably would stay away from bitcoin in general and go to a gamblers anonymous meeting or something.   I have doubts about the extent of your losses though.  $50,000 is a lot of money and people have been known to come on here and encounter problems telling the truth.   Not calling you a liar, but.

yes and that is the problem of about every person. 40 USD is also a big amount for me. that i cannot afford to lose. i think we should be limited while gambling.

[European Central Bank]

if you really are blowing that and you really are employed by a bitcoin company then get them to pay you with a multisig wallet if you trust them and only release it for the stuff you need.

but investment in gold is such a boring activity. because there is not thrill in investing in gold. there you will have to stay a lot, wait and only wait. so it is difficult for a person who has invested money in gambling can compromise on gold investment.

[stadus]

My advise to you is you should stop gambling and quit for good, that big huge loses is very disturbing in my case because I don't have that kind of experience and will never wish to experience it. We should just play for fun to minimize our loses.
