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

[lienfaye]

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.

Yeah we should play for fun, if you gamble your mindset is to win and earn profit but the chances of winning is low if you are not lucky. you lost big amount and even me i never had such big money. if you have bitcoin just convert it immediately to fiat to avoid yourself to play gambling. in that way, you wont be tempt because you have no bitcoin to play.

[olubams]

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..

There is nothing you would be told on this platform that you probably not told yourself or heard before so I will keep it simple, with the way you are going it can only head to two options because its based on chance which is either to fix or to wreck you can now decide which one to go for... My 2 cents...

this suggestion doesn't work for someone who has a serious case of gambling addiction, OP is making huge bets that he has lost $40,000 in one month.

in these extreme cases only professional help can make any difference and he might need a lot of counseling to be able to quit his addiction.

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

Yeah, that is really a big amount not only for you but for all of us, I think with that much income he also is pretty idle, as only idle people have time for gambling and seek peace of mind from that games. But gambling will never give you that and instead of giving it may take away your peace of mind.

That's huge money for anyone to lose. That amount hurts. Maybe collect cards and gamble on of you get the cards you want or not. At least you won't waste so much money and have nothing to show.

That is really big problem when somebody going to lose every thing with gambling, I think it should be give up this bad habit for sure, when someone lost control over his limit than this turned into more worst so that it has no life.

That is right, we should start changing while our problem with gambling addiction is not that deep. Following the advise of your friends and your family is very important as they are the only one who can help you. Bear in mind that gambling addiction can destroy your life and you should be thinking of the future rather than focusing on your current situation now.

Think that you have your family that needs you and they will be lonely if you are lonely too, you can also do a lot of good things in life that could entertain you and not only gambling will make you happy.

yes no doubt that this is such big amount to be lost. i think i have never seen some one who has lost such a bit amount of money. but i think that there will so many other people who will also be suffering from such kind of problems.

I'm really sorry to hear about your problem.  I have a few suggestions to add to the other responses.  I would encourage you to find other hobbies that you can enjoy, possible even hobbies that you aren't doing at home or that use a computer, such as: hiking, sports, bike riding.  Something outdoors that will get your mind off gambling and that will keep you away from a computer.  Another suggestion is to get some people around you that are supportive (not other gamblers).  Maybe you could even find someone that would keep one of the keys to a multi-signature wallet, so that you can still get your paycheck in bitcoin, but would require someone else besides you to make decisions on where your money goes.  I hope you get help.  Best of luck to you!

That is true. If one wants to come out of this bad habit, first they should try to avoid using a computer and try to spend time on outdoor games like what you mentioned. It also depends on one what he/she like to play outdoor games and also try to spend more time with your family members and friends who don't discuss gambling subject. As long as one don't talk or see any gambling things for some time then surely they can slowly come out of this habit.

[Barbut]

There is just one good way to stop gamble, to find something else and to put all your attention in that. If you have girlfriend that is good, find something to do with her. Also think about some new hobby, something you like a lot. Most important thing is to move your attention from gambling and to occupy your brain with something else.
I heard from one doctor that man need 7 day to adopt habit, and 21 day to lose it. So all you need to do is to hold 21 day.

If i am on your situation maybe i would gone crazy, thats such a lot of amount and many things can you do with that amount here in my country. Very sad to know that you lost soo much btc, ill suggest you must lend your money to other things either  spend on your family needs and wants that would be a lot of thing and also  do have a vacation together with your family that amount should be enough, Its better to lose all your coins in meaningful things rather than doing gambling.

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..

Man, you got big a problem. You need a psycologist. This problem could wreck your life i mean you spend $40,000 on gambling.  You to go to rehab so can get rid of gambling. Sad to say youre addicted to gambling and you need stop it before its too late. You need selfcontrol so you can manage the situation of overspending.

If you think you don't want to use bitcoins, then can ask any trusted family members to convert those bitcoins to fiat currency, or can explain this problem to your partnered company to pay you fiat money after deducted their conversion fee. I think they may surely help you one this matter if they understood your real issue. Take care and good luck.

Gambling addiction is such a serious problem because it could wreck your life and even destroy your family and the time comes that nothing would be left from you. As he suggested you need a psychologist. maybe it can help you regarding to your problem in gambling. Stop before its too late many would be affected and number 1 is your family.

The creative part of your brain which allows you to be making all that money is also a curse when it comes to risk reward judgements, its like the opposite of depression I guess in that you cant turn off the sparkly lights in your head telling you to just do it!

One thing I did hear from someone kinda obsessed with spending was he used to buy precious metal coins.   Currency specials made up by reserve banks all over the world and in a way its kinda saving that value and diversifying your currency exposure, reducing risk from soverign default scenarios etc (greece or whomever) just like bitcoin is used to spread and allow value transfer away from fiat economies.
So 24 carat gold coins and similar is pretty sparkly stuff and maybe that will satisfy the itch you have and help you to save a bit of your earning potential for your retirement or buying a house or whatever

I suggest you to hold your earnings to your love ones, or family or friends whom you trust the most. Give them your account or even just your earnings in their wallets and tell them to never withdraw it or give it unless you are using it on purpose, not on gambling. You can also lend it to other people and tell them to give it back at a fixed deadline. Or try to stop gambling, write a sticky note saying all your dreams and inspirations why you are earning bitcoin, and stick it onto your monitor or near your monitor. That would be a great help though.

[crytoboost]

When any person making already very huge amount $50.000 per month, than it doesn't make any sense why he want to make more, you have still time to quite it for good, just accept what you lost and move forward with positive, I think this would be nice to stop gambling right now.
