Why I suddenly decided to leave gambling alone.

[serjent05]

This is quite a good thing to teach us that gambling without control is disastrous.  Reason is that it can eat up all your money even those that is intended to other things.  Thank you for sharing us your side of story, may this be a lesson to us that whenever we are gambling we should not let greed overtake us and be contented if ever we won enough.

Almost all the gamblers are having some story similar to this but only one or two gamblers decide to quit but I am afraid they will be stranding on their decisions for ever. Because, over time they come back to gambling to take 'revenge' the gambling but finding themselves into deep problems than before.

I wish OP to stick within his decisions and resolutions.

[Junko]

Gambling isn't for everyone. There is more to life than gambling, especially if you can't afford it. Good luck, OP.

[BitMaxz]

Such a good long story that its always happening in every gambler.. deciding to quit or stop gambling is a hard thing to choose ..
but people who are already addicted in gambling that is why they are staying in gambling because they are gamble for fun that they are never experience happiness.. most of the people that i heard they are gamble even they are lose because they are getting happiness while they are gamble.. that never experience from their family mostly this reason i heard from always addicted in gambling..

The way the above member explained it is true.
And at that point it is considered an addiction that only gives a false belief that they are receiving happiness and not in a good way.
This is destructive behavior that requires attention by a professional so to help them get out of this never ending cycle of believing they need this avenue of gambling in order to sustain this source of happiness in their lives,
They need another way to receive this same feeling of so called happiness but that is healthy and not so detrimental to their lives. This effects their families or whom ever comes in contact with them for a matter of fact. It is like a disease that is like the plague.

The story of makes me inspired and scared at the same time. He made me inspired because he has the courage to leave gambling even though he won huge amount out of small amount (0.001 to 1.6BTC is very amazing). And scared because even though he has many opportunity to earn huge profit, At the end his life turns to disaster which Personally I'm scared of. I'm currently on profit of 5BTC on gambling and I'm still playing that's why this testimonial from OP is a warning to me so that I will not the next person who post a testimonial like this.

better to think deeply mate 5 btc is already a huge earnings and you can use it to divert to other investment that also will bring you good results,
trading is there and you also need some knowledge and luck in order to gain profits better to look at it and place your focus before you loses everything from your gambling activity.

In the story of Op, greediness has lead to all the major falls and ending up in depth. In my view the decision that's been made right now is good, because at times of continued loss a break is needed. No need to leave it alone and feel bad of leaving it.

Yes we should have the strong decisions to leave in the gambling game and due to continuous losses, you really needed to prevent your profit loss. If there is a sign of possible profit outbreak well you should know how to stop immediately, and avoid another losses. Becoming greed could lead you to definite failure in the future and loss of money will happen to you.

greed is early of all the feelings he made to gambling it's hard not to be feel bad if loss in gambling and I understand what the op feel and it seems he has a strong desire to stop gambling but to stop gambling is hard not easy when talking.

But when If even with the faucet I reach like 0.06 or more, and then I lose them it's still a touch to the heart, that makes you say if I start back with this amount I can magically make it 0.6, yes probably, cause I did that in the past, as my far record is been from 0.001 to 1.6 btc in 3 hours with roulette, but let's not dig that.

I think the op way of thinking is wrong luck is not always on our side so managing profits is important.

gambling are destructive in most people point of view i guess.

and you know that but keep moving forward to continue to gamble however , that is because addiction and something like that never ended with good things. better to stay away when you think you are not able to manage your money and your emotion in gambling.

Gambling isn't the problem of life destruction since it is a person's choice if he will still put his money at stake, thus there is no other responsible if his decision get wrong but only himself. If a gamble has a right mind set that the only goal is to put what he can afford to lose, there would be no problem. As long has  he know he is out of control and he let himself doing that over and over again, it's his fault.

Your life, your choice. Nothing is wrong with that. It will get better.
But be sure that you will not get tempted again or it will be the worse.
Gambling industry will always be there and there will also be times that it is like something is calling you to gamble your money.
That is the hardest part of all. Because of the easy way that gambling can give and the faster way to double the money, that made us reasons to play it.

It's really that simple, you won't be relying on someone else's decision because it is yours, you know what happens if you keep on playing, you know the consequences of being that part of a community. What do you think can happen if you just let gambling control your life? Nothing, it's hard but I know you can manage it.

Deciding to leave is good if you are thinking gambling is not doing anything good in your life, forget your loses and the entertainment you experience so you can fully quit gambling for good. Me, I have been in that situation once in my life but I end up not quitting because I already learn how to control my self  and now and I enjoying gambling.

[voltesbit777]

Your story is similar to other's, including mine except that you have won 1.6BTC with just 0.001BTC in roulette if it is true.  

Greed is the main reason for anyone to loss all they have including what they have won by the end of the day. Players need to set limit per day for both profit and loss, when limit will be reached they should just stop playing for that day.

Agreed, is the main reason why gambler/player in the gambling site become addict in a long run.
Being greed always leads the player to their loses in the end.

[olushakes]

I've had good moments and bad moments in my life, but the worst moments is when I spent the entire day gambling and focusing only to winning money for this or that.
I'm tired, seriously, to win big and then fall in more deep "debt" because of greediness. I can't afford to have such experiences anymore, it makes me sad the fact that instead of saving those money I preferred to spend them on a gambling site, I was like oh ok it's just x, so If i can lose it it's ok, oh it's just a faucet, it's ok if I lose it. But when If even with the faucet I reach like 0.06 or more, and then I lose them it's still a touch to the heart, that makes you say if I start back with this amount I can magically make it 0.6, yes probably, cause I did that in the past, as my far record is been from 0.001 to 1.6 btc in 3 hours with roulette, but let's not dig that.

I prefer spending the money on what are my necessities now, than see my wallet drop in amount. Every single f*** time, every time I had the chance to buy btc, or doge whatever, I ended up expecting to win big.
EVEN if I win big, I repeat that, I waste the money afterward, because I think it's a good idea to bet bigger now if my budget supports it, and there it goes down the hole.

Why I decided to leave gambling anyway? I saw how rapidly I was going down in the past few days, and like an hot potato to keep sinking my butt on the wallet. I'm tired of that. I better move my butt and find something that used to keep me busy, like programming, I love programming. But then I got stressed and I started to gamble.

I hope you all understand. All my friends I made in these years on the gambling sites, thank you everyone for your support of my strong decision.
Thanks everyone.

Based on this your reason that I have read, I still have a feeling that you are still coming back because when it cones to dropping an attitude that has been with you for a while, it does not happen suddenly especially the one that you have equally made some winnings. I am sure in no distant future when you have recovered from the losses you have made which is the major reason why you are taking this decision, you will still cone back with your spare money to try of you will win and the moment that happens, you ate back in the game fully again and the cycle continues.

[mindrust]

Everything is a gamble in this life.

What you were playing was a high risk game probably. (Stupid shits like dice, roulette, football etc...)

Having a job for fixed payments are also games where you win %100 unless you are fired. In other words, they are sure bets till they ain't.  

I always try to stay on the safe side in this life. I know it sounds boring, i know it takes too long to collect bits and dust into something big but it's a guaranteed win in the end.

You study, you get the skills, you use your skills to get money and because of those skills you learned, you will win every mf game you are in. That's called "having a job."

Determination and word of honor is what we should keep in our mind to be able to succeed in our goal to stay away from gambling.  If we are not determined on doing it for sure we will come back on playing it since there are more ways to earn from it.

Only if they have enough money to spend to do it and they are not using the money they need to live off of then I can see it not being destructive to their well being.
Can you imagine someone who is addicted to gambling using their money to play with instead paying their rent or buying their groceries with it?
Now that is the time they need an intervention and require immediate concselling.
