I do set up limitation in my life where i do control my self not to play or to avoid playing gambling because its already wreck my life im now in full of debt in my friends and family trying to buy bitcoin and then gambling them since im not that much into gambling i learned how to trade and to invest my money and start rising up again and paying those debt, Gambling can give us happiness when we are winning but when it comes of down we feel bad and think about how we can get up again.

I gamble just to make some activity with my spare time. I also wanted to gamble sometimes to try my luck. I am lucky to win some of my gambling games but not all the time. I am a loser more often.

I, with the help of gambling, relax. I still lose or not, the main thing is to relax from work. Gambling is very suitable for this.

Well, first of all, not in all types of gambling you have the odds against you. If you play card games vs other players you might have edge vs them and therefore you can be able to win money in the long term, as long as your edge can beat the rake.

Also, in some gambling games, you can bet a small amount and if you win you get a high return. You have the odds against you but your risk is small and the potential return is high. It’s like buying lottery: you also have the odds against you but if you spend 1 $ buying one ticket you are not risking much and you can win millions.

The problem with the examples you are giving is that they are people that are in trouble and they gamble to desperately try to escape from their problems but that’s the worst thing they can do.

I do gamble every now and then myself, but I am for sure not addicted.

Although I know my limits, it's really hard to stop when you're down. You can't stand the fact that you lose money, and you want to play more to get the money back.

I think it has a lot to do with the uncertainty of the outcome of the gamble. There always is a chance you win it back, so you're chasing your loss.
Yes you already are an addicted but you're not too much cause you can control your limits. But like addicted cigarrets . It will last very long time if you don't real try to remove it. So hope you can quit it as soon as possible. Chasing the loss is a way to bounce back . Winner is the one that know how to stop their loss.

This post is not intended to criticize gamblers, i am just curious what drives a gambler to really gamble even when the odds are against him or even reach the point where he'd rather lose everything he has than to stop doing his gambling addiction. I said the following because i have seen friends and some relatives on my mother's side literally lose everything they have like family, wealth etc. and only a few managed to stand up again. And some of that few still gamble to this day. And an uncle was found dead from a gunshot wound, whoever did it was unknown. But rumors say that it is one of all the guys he owed large money and never payed. While a friend(not close, just a neighbor) died from suicide because his wife left him along with his 14y.o daughter and 3y.o son. Now, I ask this because i dont get it. I just don't. I mean is it even worth it? If you ask me, i don't know. That is why i am asking. And the reason why i did it here is because we all know i can't ask a gambler with this kind of questions face to face because doing that would mean mean that I wanna start a fight. I mean that might how a gambler reacts to this kind of question. Please share your thoughts on this.

I play gambling just for fun and to be entertain so i play moderately. When i play i just keep a small capital for the game if i lose then i stop right away but if i win then it will just extend the fun. We must not be obsessed in gambling because it will really destroy out life like what happen in your story. So we must live a life of moderation in our daily lives.

Some people gamble because they want to gamble and try it. Some people gamble because they want to get more money and some people gamble because they think it is fun. For me it will be the third option. Chasing loss is not what I do but when I keep on coming back that means I want to keep on playing to have more fun

There are different types of gamblers and those people that are experiencing bad things on their lives aren't responsible and ready for the consequences. If you are a neutral gamble and you know what are the possibility when you get too addicted in gambling, you are gambling with control. And for those gamblers that lost almost everything, I feel sorry for them.

I mainly gamble to have fun and kill the spare time . Whether it is in casinos or in websites , gambling for me was never more than a hobby that can sometimes generate profit .

I think gambling is not good to rely on your needs to your family i know that its not easy to find money but do you think that gamble can ruin your life. So if you gamble to relax and enjoy i think that is good for you. But if you gamble to try your luck and and expect to for your family that is not good for you especially to your family.

So if you gamble to relax and enjoy i think that is good for you. But if you gamble to try your luck and and expect to for your family that is not good for you especially to your family.

Gambling addiction is no other different from any kind of addiction. The only factor involved in gambling is that, it risks money relying from such luck. Even if your purpose of gambling is for relaxation or for spare time, I think that there are better alternatives out there because it does not change the fact that you still gamble despite the benefits it give to you. We all know that gambling may destroy one's life especially if it gets out of control but it may be hard for people to completely remove their addiction. It may take some time for someone to fully forget an addiction and forcefully persuading them to stop it may only result to negative results.

This is why we should not let that those things would happen to you later on and this is why we should avoid at all cost.If you dont like to suffer consequences which you dont like to happen in your life then its wise not to play gambling at all and as you said there are lots of thing which is a good alternative which doesnt give too much risk compared on engaging on gambling.

I think gambling is good for you for what I've read.. For me gambling is to make profit but you have to play in a smart way so you'll not lose all your money. It isn't bad to gamble if you know how to control yourself towards money.

I don't actually gamble much, but when I have an extra time to do it, I surely do and I am not doing it for the money because you can not surely sure if your gonna get some earning with it because it is obviously risky, that is why I think you just need to control your gaming bet, or just like me just play if you have extra money you don't surely care about and extra time to gamble.

I, with the help of gambling, relax. I still lose or not, the main thing is to relax from work. Gambling is very suitable for this.

Your relaxation is gambling and your stress reliever, I usually make gambling like that when I have still time to gamble and my body isn't tired of sitting in front of my computer. Only few gamblers those have a mentality like yours as majority of the gamblers here are for the profit and we keep on gambling even we lose just to recover our losses and no other reasons beside that.

Really, i have never seen anyone gotten so relaxed especially when they are losing money, except in your situation maybe you don't ever lose money when gambling, I have seen people gamble and lose so much that they started to cry and someone even shit themselves at times when they lose heavily.

Sometimes gambling is not suitable to relax, can we still relax if we already losing? I don't think so, especially when we we're going to lose huge amount. Losing money can't be a relaxation. Maybe we can just use gambling to play with our spare time.
