Gambling Addiction Stories!

[eaglewhite80]

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

[changcloy]

I used to gamble everyday ,morning until dawn with my friends or neighbors, at first all I want was to enjoy myself but later on even how many times I loss still I keep on coming back hoping that I can win. I've been a iresponsible mother with my son and depend my responsibilities to my parents. I onced pawned my jewelries or valuable things just because of gambling that's how addicted I am in gambling now I am thankful that I can control my addiction. Yes, I still play but it is not like before I know my priorities and I do not want to risk my family just because of gambling.

[JL421]

My gambling addiction is same like most of the people who promote gambling sites on this forum.
I was getting paid in my yolodice account every week and everything seemed fine for the first few months , but slowly i started developing a slight interest in gambling.
Then one day i deposited 0.1 bitcoin on the site and gambled my way to a profit of 0.4 bitcoin , as i was new i just had a goal of 1 bitcoin which was stupid enough but i didn't realise it that time.
I then slowly started losing my funds but i still was in profit so didn't care much and then i was at 0 profit that's when i got addicted and transferred more bitcoin to my account and kept losing until i stopped at a loss of 0.3 bitcoin.
Then i started gambling with my weekly payments and once i was able to turn 0.007 to 0.2 but again addiction got over me and i lost everything
Finally i messaged ethan who is owner of yolodice and told him to block me from gambling , since then i have kept myself under control

Gambling on daily basis is not at all good if you invest the big fund to play the games mate. I would like to suggest you to use the sport bet alone if you do it every day because in this option alone you can find the information about the player or anyone.
Then you can choose the potential player and bet on them mate.
Since you confirm that you already started to confirmed you gambling addiction.

Quite good that you are out today of this gambling else sure by now you would have lost few thousands of dollar if you had become a addictive to it and keep gambling. It would have even effected your relationship and health too a great extent.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

I would say that gambling is part of our culture. My father was a gambler, although not an addict and occasionally, I would sit with my relatives (aunts, uncles, cousins, friends) to play card games. However, about 10 years ago, I started to go to gambling casino to play and that's how it all started. I can't really explain the feeling, but its like a someone is really telling inside of you to go and play specially upon waking up. Well, when all money stops coming in, then I don't have the funds to fuel my addiction so that made me stop.

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

I would say 7-8. Although I'm still going to casino today, but its not like before. Maybe I learn my lessons the hard way not to take advantage of easy money and save for the future. Or maybe I change my priorities in life.

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

If you hit rock bottom you will started to realised that gambling will not bring you any good at the end. So better quit while you can, or at least control or limit yourself.

Sad to hear your stories but I know that is the norm for most addictive gambling because I know a lot of people with similar stories. Families are shattered, life are broken because that one gambling bet that we did in the past will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

I'm glad that I didn't go that far though, was able to control before its too late, although the damage has been done on my end, I was able to repair it and just gamble when I have the time and just having fun and not totally wanted to look at it as a 'daily job".

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

Im a long time gambler and considered myself addict but it's just on "some of the cases". Good thing I end up a responsible gambler eventhough overall I experienced losing very big. It's just that I know how to deal with losses.

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

Once I loved that gambling type I will not leave it easily. So again good thing Im a responsible one, I turned my addiction into advantage and now doing good so far.

Generally, people have different approach on how will they deal in their own gambling problem. There are fortunate and unfortunate but in the end it's really up to ourselves where we will choose to land.

Im still do gambling up to today and my losing experienced turned me into much responsible gambler and now currently enjoying winning moments in most of the cases.

[Rinsend]

1. This is when I got to the point where I did not have any money and started looking for a loan to gamble, so I began to realize that I was addicted
2. I never try to get out of this addiction, I choose to be more in control when I play gambling
3. fun when I've learned how to control every gambling we start, and start having a revenue target from gambling

[Hamphser]

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict?
-When i cant already resist myself on playing on daily basis and been spending the money which are already allocated for daily expenses.

What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?
-When you are in the middle of the situation willing to quit is non existent on our mind because we do only think up on our recent action.

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

Distracting myself into other things which arent related to gambling.I do really need to have a strong self discpline and mind control on not to play again.Sounds too easy but would really be hard to do but once youve done it then be consistentt and you would able to get out in no time.

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could?
- Some people do still play but they do already learn and aware on the possible risk which it would result into less playing on gambling and less spending of their money.
 

In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.
-Just remember the consequences that you experienced before,if you dont like to happen again then better not to repeat the same mistakes again.

I ended up becoming addicted to gambling when i first tried some sports betting and i got extremely lucky i won like 500$ from just putting 20$, wining that much money gave me the feel of power, and rush so i got addicted to that feeling and i would always try to get that win again even after losing a lot, at the point where i was broke, and as soon as i get paid i spend all my payment in a day on gambling, at that point my friends told me to stop and told me if i am going to keep this up i would end up messing up my future, and so to help me with getting rid of it they would always keep me busy with other activities and they took control of my bank account for a while so i won't go spend it on gambling, and after a while i stopped craving for that feeling that i got from gambling.

That's why I don't believe them when they say that it's hard to quit gambling for good because if someone really wanted a change he can do anything even beyond his limit. They say that it just takes 21 days to make a new habit so if you just continue pursuing your change then it will happen. Just have a good diversion then it'll be all good.

On the other hand, I'm happy that I didn't get to the point of addiction or better yet I'll be miserable.

[adaseb]

Basically my story is as follows.

Long time ago in my area me and my friend decided to buy some scratch off lottery tickets. I think we each bought $20 or so.

I actually ended up winning like $5 and used the $5 to buy more scratch off tickets and ended up losing that $5 even.

My friend on the other hand was very lucky. He ended up winning like $500, and this is where the trouble started.

Basically after losing the initial investment of $20 I was upset and didn't buy any more tickets. My friend on the other hand wasn't so lucky, he basically bought $500 worth of scratch tickets and ended up losing the $500.

But what was worse was that he decided to spend his paycheck buying more of those tickets and again he ended up losing. He ended up racking up all his credit cards and losing his life time savings.

Eventually he got help for it and now stays away from any form of gambling even those charitable raffles.

So basically if you win too much in the beginning you can get easily hooked.

[Direwolve735]

I have a story connected with forex and binary options. It all started about 1.5 years ago. I saw advertising as people easily make money on Forex. I  downloaded the app, read something, watched the video and began to trade. Truth is told that newcomers are lucky,for 1 hour I reached $2500 from $100. Then of course in my head surfaced thoughts that I am a great trader. As a result, I drained all the money. After that, I try not to gamble anymore, it's terrible to lose everything.

[KorakPawon]

addicted to gambling almost the same as smoking or drugs is very difficult to stop and if indeed we as an addict want to quit then it took some special treatment from start intentions, environment and lifestyle that usually done unfortunately I have never experience in gambling so I has never experienced a name addicted to gambling.

This happen to me when I sold everything I have years ago so I can continue to gamble, I just realized this thing one day when I'm already broke.
Well, its not easy to recover but of course people should be willing to give up gambling

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

I just ask for the help of my family, I lose not much money on gambling but I know I'm already addict that time.
I actually doing good right now and I can say gambling is just part of my past now.

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

Yes of course I still want to play but not in the same way as before, I'll just focus on trading now.

Though I am someone who heavily disagrees on gambling, I cannot escape my past as a gambler. My whole experience taught me the values and discipline that shaped me as an individual.

1. As an immature individual who knows nothing about the implications of gambling, I have this friend who introduced me to this online gambling site wherein there exist a chance of acquiring more resources by risking your own. I was winning continuously and I even considered making this gambling site as my primary method of acquiring money.

2. Talking about beginner's luck, I thought that this streak would continue endlessly but this is invalidated my experience since the streak went to the opposite effect. That is when I realized that if I do not change my ways then this would only make my situation a lot worse. It was really a difficult time as I got attached to the gambling since I treated it as a form of entertainment but what really helped me was the intervention of my family members who continued to support and help me.

3. What really helped me is that I make myself as the difference to others. Instead of gambling, I always try my best to be the someone who will make the difference to others or will be the one who will helped individuals who were in my situation before. After my experience, it really took a toll into my attitude and habits wherein it changed on how I handle things.

first gambling and meeting new friends, great fun and fun games. after it ends, the next day the new friend will invite again, again, and again. and finally I was also addicted myself. that's the first effect. and obviously to avoid that is, avoid also gambling environment and as much as possible reject invite friends who invite gambling.

[supercanada1]

I used to gamble everyday ,morning until dawn with my friends or neighbors, at first all I want was to enjoy myself but later on even how many times I loss still I keep on coming back hoping that I can win. I've been a iresponsible mother with my son and depend my responsibilities to my parents. I onced pawned my jewelries or valuable things just because of gambling that's how addicted I am in gambling now I am thankful that I can control my addiction. Yes, I still play but it is not like before I know my priorities and I do not want to risk my family just because of gambling.

I liked the way you tried to help him and understand his problem. Definitely, getting rid of this game after becoming an addict is very difficult. But would not it be much better to utilize his time in keeping himself away from this game instead of learning about sports bet. This is not the solution to change game for placing bets. Moreover, luck element does not eliminate this way. He still can lose his money.

[leowonderful]

I myself actually managed to gamble several thousand USD through dice and CS:GO match betting that I saved over the course of several months- I started small with a few hundred in dice, tried to get more back through match betting, and initially made some more money before I put thousands on matches and lost match after match. I stopped shortly after and managed to stop myself from gambling any more of my money, and I only occasionally gamble now. It's okay in moderation, but gambling's definitely easy to become addicted to. I just put away a few dollars a week to gamble nowadays.

[Rinsend]

"avoid the gambling environment" is very classic, considering that nowadays there are so many online gambling, and without the need to socialize in gamblers environment, then we can gamble through oline casino. because if we have become addicts, we will do various ways to gamble, even if we do not jump in the gamble environment

[Gintama214]

One of my Mom's friend actually got addicted to gambling in the actual casino, she is single and living alone by herself. Whenever she got off to work she goes to the casino and play until midnight and go home after, same routine every day that's how addicted she is until one day she decided to quit so she makes herself banned into the casino which I did not know that you can actually get banned if you request it in the casino management. So she did ban herself from gambling and now she is not addicted anymore, she lifted her ban but she still play but rarely now.

[virtualkeybuyer]

I also started to play some games in these casino last year. I did not spend my money on these casino but I actually working to get the bonus of the site and start gambling with that. For that I used to spend much of the time of the day and that was my bad addiction because in that time I could earn a good income. After some weeks I realized that I am addicted and that thing is wasting my time. so then I left to gamble like that.

[Supercrypt]

My gambling addiction is same like most of the people who promote gambling sites on this forum.
I was getting paid in my yolodice account every week and everything seemed fine for the first few months , but slowly i started developing a slight interest in gambling.
Then one day i deposited 0.1 bitcoin on the site and gambled my way to a profit of 0.4 bitcoin , as i was new i just had a goal of 1 bitcoin which was stupid enough but i didn't realise it that time.
I then slowly started losing my funds but i still was in profit so didn't care much and then i was at 0 profit that's when i got addicted and transferred more bitcoin to my account and kept losing until i stopped at a loss of 0.3 bitcoin.
Then i started gambling with my weekly payments and once i was able to turn 0.007 to 0.2 but again addiction got over me and i lost everything
Finally i messaged ethan who is owner of yolodice and told him to block me from gambling , since then i have kept myself under control

Must be an interesting story. It seems I have finally found another new thread to stay glued to as this is actually getting even more interesting as I read people's stories. I actually do not have much story to tell though, but it seems from some of the things I read, it is like it usually starts well, more like some of the forces of nature trying to deceive you and the voila !

Everything just starts crumbling and since the mindset of winning is already fixed, it takes a lot of discipline and control to realize it was just a trap all along. Good thing you found a way out.

[ethereumhunter]

I remember that I have a friend which is addicting in gamblers. the first time, we are curious about the gambling and I remember that is a game on the facebook that we've to play without any knowledge. day by day we've played without any purposes and in one day, my friend decides to buy the chip to feel the real gamble but I do not buy that chip, I am playing with the free one. and yes, he can win that games because he learns much things about the games but in the next 2 days, he lost much money until he decides to buy more chips to play. gladly, I can stop from the game and I heard that my friend can stop either but unfortunately, he is lost a big money in that games.

True  their stories are very interesting and you'll find yourself wandering what if you were in their place? what are you going to do? and etc. Another is that, their experiences will be a lesson for any readers especially to those who suffered the same thing. Some might have already recovered from their addiction, some might not have yet. I am sure that this thread is worth adding to my "Notify me" list.

I also gamble but my story will only look very natural like it was a thing that always happen everyday. The space should be for those who have a story worth reading for.

Those kind of games are already comes in the addictive games category and the difficulty level changes in the free and earning games so it is not the best gambling sites to play with and if we do mostly like to lose in that.But crypto gambling sites changes from those online games so we I always like to play in the crypto gambling sites and most like to play in dice game which just only depends on the probability.

is it a poker game? I used to play it on facebook before I switch to online poker table based on btc payment, poker on facebook is very easy, because they play without using strategy, it's fake because they play free chips, and will be much different when they play the gambling paid

[Taki]

Maybe this story has nothing with cases of real gambling addiction, but this days somewhere in Scotland opened a hospital which treat crypto addiction, yes, crypto one,there  is such apparently. Does anyone know of details of this story or examples of crypto addiction? Some people compare investing g and trading g of crypto currencies with gambling, so I think it has some contact with gambling addiction example.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

I am a gambler but just an online gambling site, I only play foker and dice because it is interested to play in those two places. I spend about 5 days a week gambling and so far it's fun. I am not hypocritical to say that gambling is sometimes a source of income, I am an unemployed person and things are always done every day is trading and gambling, this routine has been done in the last few months. Honestly, I do not like gambling directly in the real world.

[vintages]

I have written about my gambling addition story here a time ago, though, it was nothing different from the regular gambling  stories. Then when I started out in gambling, I was a student as well, I became so good in gambling that it helps out with my school finance. But I sort of became addicted that I took my school cash for gambling. After the incident, I caution myself, since then, I gamble with caution.

[pixie85]

I knew a guy who was addicted to casino gambling and he always took us to play with him. I always wanted to get away from these places ASAP because people were so nervous and ready to jump you for any reason, like you being too loud or whatever. When they were losing they were usually drinking too much and trying to blame anyone and everyone. Sometimes we could see them wasted on the parking lot shouting at people, looking for a fight. None of you would want to end up like that.

[krishnaverma]

Nice thread with some real experiences. Mine will not be that interesting as I have already overcome addiction.

This story is of two brothers who introduced me to gambling. Their current age will be about 40 and 32. Both were addicted to gambling. The older brother started with offline gambling and was also involved in various other illegal activities. The younger one was having some part time job t pay for bills and the money he used to loose on gambling online. Their parents knew about this but they perhaps gave up on them. Lat time I checked  about them, all 4 were living in a rented room of 100 sq feet.

I don't know how you are making profits through dice game because I am trying to win through dice game from many days and has the ability to increase the chances winning. I hope my fate will not work through gambling website.

[akishang]

I already quit gambling because its not doing any good to me and my budget. There was a time that all I do was to think about gambling and where I can get the money for gambling. My Salary will be gone in a few days because I lost in a horse race bet. It goes on a cycle until I don't have money to spend on my bills. My electricity was cut and that's the only time I realize that I need to stop gambling. Life without electricity can make you think right because you have nothing to do all day but to stare in the ceiling. Thanks for letting me share my story.

[Claudyah]

first gambling and meeting new friends, great fun and fun games. after it ends, the next day the new friend will invite again, again, and again. and finally I was also addicted myself. that's the first effect. and obviously to avoid that is, avoid also gambling environment and as much as possible reject invite friends who invite gambling.

"avoid the gambling environment" is very classic, considering that nowadays there are so many online gambling, and without the need to socialize in gamblers environment, then we can gamble through oline casino. because if we have become addicts, we will do various ways to gamble, even if we do not jump in the gamble environment

If you only bet occasionally and just seek the fun of betting, then you are not addicted to gambling. People who are addicted to gambling try to quit, but in the end they still bet more in the hope of winning more.

first gambling and meeting new friends, great fun and fun games. after it ends, the next day the new friend will invite again, again, and again. and finally I was also addicted myself. that's the first effect. and obviously to avoid that is, avoid also gambling environment and as much as possible reject invite friends who invite gambling.

he can be addicted to gambling because if he continues the games and spends more money without knowing that he can win or lose, soon he will be an addicting person in gambling. but if he only plays for fun and doesn't spend too much time in the gambling games, he can avoid being an addicting person and he can decide when he needs to stop the games.

All I remember I was in college and suddenly we tuned into a FIFA match, and we harmlessly put a bet of 10$ I have absolutely zero idea when those bets turned to 1000 and once mad bet of 10000 (I had zero funds was deep down in gambling debt decided to take a risk call and it paid off). I do occasionally gamble but now I'm able to control it, once you learn the fear of loosing your life is when you suddenly are able to control yourself.

[d1ceplayer]

I remember that I have a friend which is addicting in gamblers. the first time, we are curious about the gambling and I remember that is a game on the facebook that we've to play without any knowledge. day by day we've played without any purposes and in one day, my friend decides to buy the chip to feel the real gamble but I do not buy that chip, I am playing with the free one. and yes, he can win that games because he learns much things about the games but in the next 2 days, he lost much money until he decides to buy more chips to play. gladly, I can stop from the game and I heard that my friend can stop either but unfortunately, he is lost a big money in that games.

Those kind of games are already comes in the addictive games category and the difficulty level changes in the free and earning games so it is not the best gambling sites to play with and if we do mostly like to lose in that.But crypto gambling sites changes from those online games so we I always like to play in the crypto gambling sites and most like to play in dice game which just only depends on the probability.

I don't know how you are making profits through dice game because I am trying to win through dice game from many days and has the ability to increase the chances winning. I hope my fate will not work through gambling website.

Making some profits in dice game is easy as compared to other games of gambling are concerned because it is easy to play and understanding the situation is very easy for the gambler in the dice game but still as this game is a gambling game, we cannot say that luck is not a big factor as it has importance in it also. People have invented different tricks like how to throw dices and more likely get the numbers they want.

When we get a bad result we must stop, but I'm sure it's a very difficult thing to do. if you can control the conditions and situations then you are a great person. Few people can do that because addiction is a very hard thing to leave behind. It is worth noting that gambling game is a bad moment and should never be done. I am sure that many people are disappointed after they try to play gambling for the first time. They enter the gates of destruction in their lives when cheap gambling comes inside.

Really good if this is happen to newbie gambler. If you are playing multiple games on any gambling site, first you need to check the previous bets and most recent bets. If you see the result similar to the both times you may go have to quit from gambling.
Else you are able to variation from the both you could leave your mistake and pick the perfect odds and perfect to win again.
Then there are mbtc and low amount gambling option is there, you may anyone in that.

I am a gambler but just an online gambling site, I only play foker and dice because it is interested to play in those two places. I spend about 5 days a week gambling and so far it's fun. I am not hypocritical to say that gambling is sometimes a source of income, I am an unemployed person and things are always done every day is trading and gambling, this routine has been done in the last few months. Honestly, I do not like gambling directly in the real world.

Gambling in the real world even comes with more fun depending on where you are gambling anyway. However, gambling as a whole without caution is actually a huge problem because the impulses generally are always there and it takes a lot of principle and energy to control them. Mine almost got out of hand, but I had to retrace back and see how much I have missed it all and then immediately cancelled my gambling activity which is the only way you can get out of it.

I purposely fashioned my mind to detest gambling in every way and I am glad it worked most especially when I started doing some businesses and making a lot from it to live a better life which apparently gambling can never give.

Maybe this story has nothing with cases of real gambling addiction, but this days somewhere in Scotland opened a hospital which treat crypto addiction, yes, crypto one,there  is such apparently. Does anyone know of details of this story or examples of crypto addiction? Some people compare investing g and trading g of crypto currencies with gambling, so I think it has some contact with gambling addiction example.

I got a glimpse of this story few days ago and then I kept worrying what the whole idea is all about. How can investing in any way be compared to addiction ? I am not sure though, since while some people are investing, they actually do it with no knowledge and they make silly mistakes whatsoever by going in too big and then afterwards trying all means to recover from the volatility loss they have had or is this just a way from the hospital to send some message regarding how crypto can actually come with addiction ?

If it is by that, then I can as well say I am addicted to crypto since it makes life easier for me in terms of payment and I sure do not wish to get out of the addiction.

Gambling is such a strong addiction that the ones who get into this trap find it very much difficult to get out of it no matter how hard they try. You need not to get into any such thing as this will never result in anything profitable. The only thing which you will have because of gambling will be the loss of money which you will never wish. You need to think over hundred times before taking any such step.

Im not a gambling addict but i know some and it didnt make anything good to them. One person i know becomes addict on the game called cock fighting that is a popular gambling here in my country. He works abroad and comes back here once a year and yes, he has plenty of money to gamble with. He really likes to gamble.He even get prison on the country hes working for because of addiction. I dont have any news about him after that.

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

Quite good that you are out today of this gambling else sure by now you would have lost few thousands of dollar if you had become a addictive to it and keep gambling. It would have even effected your relationship and health too a great extent.

Great decision ha has made. I thought that gambling is bad for our income since it will have a negative effect if lossing is in a streak. But for some reason, if we gamble with our convenient time and our extra money then there is nothing bad to it.

I use to be a gambler when i was young until i become mature ani dont know its just i forget about playing,not unless some friends coming tl my house and wanted to play cards with betting thats how i enjoyed playing now without going to casino nor playing online

people who have become addicted will experience a very difficult life. they will get a lot of life trying because they have chosen wrong. avoid addiction and never consider gambling a game that makes money. suppose gambling as an entertainment and you will get a much better peace. if you consider gambling as a job then it is certain that your future will be full of trials. believe that this will hurt yourself and your loved ones.

Plenty of stories I can see on this thread about gambling. Actually I do not understand what is the use of sharing these things continously here from the various people. I really looking to invest on gambling means how the gambling stories will be helpful on that.
If the addiction stories has been shared we can assure that gamblers will be come out of that bro.

It is the people fault that they have wrong understanding about gambling like making money through betting is possible always but this is where the addictions starts once they keep losing the bets in streak then they will start chasing their lost amount resulting in the serious addiction.But gambling addiction is still can be cured if they realizes that they have addicted to it,and it is a long journey to get away from it.

There is nothing bad to doing drugs then according to you. If you have a vice its better to keep it under control because it the cause of your down fall in the long run. You never know where your money went away to because you have been keeping your vices under cover for too long. If you have some "extra" money which is itself a ridiculous idea because money is never extra its always scarce, then you should save it up for use in future for any emergency need or for stocking up for hardships.

I personally do not like it when people call it profit. Just call it winning, because it is a game and not an investment. It is in investment that you make profit and if you are looking for profit, then you better stay away.

Reading through some addiction stories thus far, one would see that a lot of people are mainly addicted because of that making profit mindset they had initially which makes them relax and be too confident, sometimes go in big thinking they have a strategy and all of a sudden it happens and they are trying to recover. If all these parts can be skipped, it will sure make things easy for anyone who wants to gamble when it comes to controlling themselves.

Everyone starts gambling from a less amount and then slowly increases the amount of money which in invests in gambling. Personally I have heard many stories of gambling and always gamblers destroy themselves in the addiction for gambling. In gambling many people lose control over their emotions and they continue gambling even in worse conditions and hence they get their selves destroyed.

This is like a chain that workouts only when different days give you different results. Like if someday you were lucky and you played it and win was there for you. Next day you play it again to seek that win again but now you are unfortunate and things weren’t in your favor. So here is loss for you. Now to retain back that loss, you play again and again lose. This chain makes you big addict.

I have a story connected with forex and binary options. It all started about 1.5 years ago. I saw advertising as people easily make money on Forex. I  downloaded the app, read something, watched the video and began to trade. Truth is told that newcomers are lucky,for 1 hour I reached $2500 from $100. Then of course in my head surfaced thoughts that I am a great trader. As a result, I drained all the money. After that, I try not to gamble anymore, it's terrible to lose everything.

This is actually how I discovered Bitcoin. It was originally with forex trading.

I didn't want to do stock trading because you need pretty much 5 figure accounts to make decent money and the leverage is low like 3x. Hence I saw ads for forex trading and saw that you are given like 1:500 leverage.

So with like a $100 account you can make thousands a day as long as you don't lose. Basically the first few trades went well and they were for like $1/pip. So with the $100 account I easily doubled or tripled it to $300. Then I got greedy and started trading like $5/pip or $10/pip.

Now I don't know if any of you actually ever traded forex during the employment reports but currencies can easily spike up 100 pips or down 100 pips within seconds. There is crazy slippage and no liquidity and poof your account is drained really fast.

Not exactly gambling since its technically trading but if you have no idea what you are doing and guessing directions with 500x leverage then its more or less gambling.

It is mind game and nothing else, if you are doing it well then you go smoothly and if you are not doing well and have the thirst of winning something then losing and many turns will turns into addiction.

Come out from this addiction and do not do it for greed but for fun and consider it as a source of entertainment so you will feel good with it and remember that your only focus is should be on your game then success will walk itself towards you.

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

This is not about me who's involved to gambling addiction but i can share some stories connected to mine.

I have a close friend when we were college whos love to play and bet in local gambling until we graduated andhave our own lives.until some good batch mates conduct a reunion and weve got to see each other again though not completely as how many of us wayback

And th friend of mine approached me and seek some advice about hes gambling habits when were young turns addictions for lifelong their family wealth devastated by this addiction and turns them to a poor family(in which they are very wealthy in college time)

I asked Him to come to my house often as he can ,without noticing whats my objectives and we come along for almost a year bringing hom to our church and leading with other sets of friends and now he is a new person a God fearing man and a loving father and husband.hope this can help some of addict in gambling save lives

[btc78]

I remember when i was in elementary schools i become an addicted in gambling there comes a time that my allowances for the whole week losses in gambling and i come home empty handed and triggered me to take some money from my parents wallet things that very upsetting when i come to remember.

But when i turn out college i dont know things just changed when i focus on study today i am almost graduated from college and i didn't find my self looking for gambling ,maybe its about perseverance and dedication in life that makes us change

[maculeth]

the first time the most influential on gambling addiction is the friend who is there. someone who first played gambling, and the next day would accept a call from a friend to play again. that's what I've experienced and it's so much fun. but when I accept defeat, it is very painful and that is why I started to leave gambling.

[raven7886]

Nice thread with some real experiences. Mine will not be that interesting as I have already overcome addiction.

This story is of two brothers who introduced me to gambling. Their current age will be about 40 and 32. Both were addicted to gambling. The older brother started with offline gambling and was also involved in various other illegal activities. The younger one was having some part time job t pay for bills and the money he used to loose on gambling online. Their parents knew about this but they perhaps gave up on them. Lat time I checked  about them, all 4 were living in a rented room of 100 sq feet.

Yeah, experiences that are worth reading and nice one for the OP to come up with this and pretty sure it is a thread that will keep going on and on. I have never been addicted to gambling anyway simply because I have always known gambling to never come with a good story at the end of the day and that makes me to keep it simple or try to avoid it.

I once started gambling but as time goes on, I started feeling uncomfortable based on the fact that I just felt immediately that I am gradually losing it, which made me to drop it. It is not something hard to do, because I know once addicted, it is always like you are trapped in a very deep hole and it would only take some luck and inner strength to get out from.

I used to play poker online. As i have temember, i was pregnant wiyh my first child at that moment. At first, i was just like to ease my boredom since i have a delicate pregnancy and was not allowed to go out at home regularly, So i tried looking for online games. But the things is i am sort of liking the game and almost got addicted into it. Been experiencing so many sleepless nights which is bad in my condition and in a day instead of sleeping, i was still hooked with in front of my laptop and keep on playing. Until i realized that it is not just bad for me but most importantly to the baby inside my tummy, so in an instant i quit.

Hard story to believe though.

No one can quit from gambling instantly once they addicted to it but you may think too much about the baby will help you to get out of it. Loneliness is is also an important reason of getting addicted to something at that time you were spend too much time on online gambling resulted addiction for you but luckily you get out for a good cause.

[coinplus]

I used to gamble everyday ,morning until dawn with my friends or neighbors, at first all I want was to enjoy myself but later on even how many times I loss still I keep on coming back hoping that I can win. I've been a iresponsible mother with my son and depend my responsibilities to my parents. I onced pawned my jewelries or valuable things just because of gambling that's how addicted I am in gambling now I am thankful that I can control my addiction. Yes, I still play but it is not like before I know my priorities and I do not want to risk my family just because of gambling.

Sad to hear your stories but I know that is the norm for most addictive gambling because I know a lot of people with similar stories. Families are shattered, life are broken because that one gambling bet that we did in the past will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

I'm glad that I didn't go that far though, was able to control before its too late, although the damage has been done on my end, I was able to repair it and just gamble when I have the time and just having fun and not totally wanted to look at it as a 'daily job".

Very true. Actually, I can say for my granddad and it did not really go well for him. Dead now though, but he was very wealthy, had fleet of businesses, pump stations, auto stations, and few other bringing in money for him until from the story that I heard, that a friend of him introduced him and he got overwhelmed, started gambling and selling some of his things just to try to recover losses, the sons felt it which one happens to be my dad as they could not even pay for school fees, and they had to start finding a way to cater for themselves. Eventually he lost everything and he used his last years becoming a nuisance and a liability to his kids eventually. It is crazy people still do not learn from other's experience though and this really made me to stay away from gambling.

Look, people gamble in order to get instant profit and the way you are talking like is about wise people or gamblers. We are discussing gamblers which are addicted and now can not survive without gambling and made it a necessary part of life.

We have heard and seen many addicted stories about gamblers and in our community as well. Addicted people do not think mush besides gambling and all the time they want to spend is in casinos and gambling places.

You need to get rid of friends who try to accompany you to gamble. If you waste too much money in gambling you will realize that the money only goes one way if you dont get lucky. Then its only the casino which is making money even when you think you have won big since the number of losses will be bigger than the number of wins.

Its not about victory  or defeat. In gambling the odds are against you so whenever you have started gambling you have already lost.

I used to do cutting classes when I was in my high school days just to play cards outside near to our school , I just stopped gambling when my teacher told my mother what are the crazy things I've done in school ,my mom was so angry with me because she thought that I doing good to my class specially that I am a girl but I already kearned my lesson.

I started get addicted in gambling when my friends invited me to come at the casino to play just for fun, but it turned out i mostly play gambling to gained profit that is why i started to get addicted with it. I started noticing it when all of my savings are gone, then i started quitting gambling and start focusing working on my job and my family.

High school days are full of fun specially cutting classes just to play games with your friends and it's all part of the life at least you learned your lesson. As i do learned my lessons too when they call out my parents to school because i wasn't in the school for almost 2 weeks and my teacher thought that i am just sick but i am just addicted to any gambling games before when i was in high school that makes me cutting classes just to play those games. lol

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

Thats great to hear some gamblers changing routine and doing straight to goodness first of all i Salute you mate for dealing that hardship th become gambling free person.

I use to be a gambler when i was young until i become mature ani dont know its just i forget about playing,not unless some friends coming tl my house and wanted to play cards with betting thats how i enjoyed playing now without going to casino nor playing online

I also appreciate that person we has made that tough decision and willing to stand on it till his last breath. Not only me, but I think every single person who reads this comment should appreciate that guy for his doing so that he can stand on his decision and never think that he people don’t have anything to do whether he is gambling or not and goes again for gambling.

Quite good that you are out today of this gambling else sure by now you would have lost few thousands of dollar if you had become a addictive to it and keep gambling. It would have even effected your relationship and health too a great extent.

Great decision ha has made. I thought that gambling is bad for our income since it will have a negative effect if lossing is in a streak. But for some reason, if we gamble with our convenient time and our extra money then there is nothing bad to it.

No, there is nothing good at all in gambling. If you have big money and you want to waste it with immediate effect, only then gambling can service you more than anything. But here you have to think whether to go for earning money or losing money.

The choice is totally buyers and now this would affect your coming life. If you choice for gambling, may god help you and give you blessed mind.

Personally I'm never gamble until addicted. But I'm ever got addicted when some dice site launch a promo and I won those promo.
For somehow I keep gamble until I'm finally lose at the long term from that moment I realized the addiction of gamble was real !

[onrise]

I used to do cutting classes when I was in my high school days just to play cards outside near to our school , I just stopped gambling when my teacher told my mother what are the crazy things I've done in school ,my mom was so angry with me because she thought that I doing good to my class specially that I am a girl but I already kearned my lesson.

What is the current status of your now. Have you completely stopped gambling or you still gamble but occasionally and have you reached your legal age before you can actually visit the casinos in your country? Luckily you got out in the right time before you become addicted to it and wasting your life and leaving studies.

Too sad you have lost the profits that you have won, it just went on nothing, there is a saying said that "you already got the money but you just turned it into a stone" I hope you get what I mean. Gambling itself is no good, what more addiction is, I guess if you can't help but to gamble, at least it is important that you know how to control yourself from betting, because sometimes, if you are not going to stop on betting, you are going to lose your money as always.

On the contrary, I really started to get addicted to gambling when I was already have a established job and one of my mates there will urge some of us to go on a casino or even a cock fighting event. So we will go out a hour before then just go on a wild spree then, casinos, then horse racing and then cock fighting. That's how I got hooked and up to this day I'm still playing in a casino but I learn to prioritizes things now because I have my family to feed. However, looking back, it was one hell of ride specially when you are still young and doesn't have any responsibilities in life.

[logicgate]

people who have become addicted will experience a very difficult life. they will get a lot of life trying because they have chosen wrong. avoid addiction and never consider gambling a game that makes money. suppose gambling as an entertainment and you will get a much better peace. if you consider gambling as a job then it is certain that your future will be full of trials. believe that this will hurt yourself and your loved ones.

  I thought it was a game which is totally depending upon the luck of the person and when we see this thing, we find it true that luck has the major role in the winning of gambler in gambling. Giving yourself a lot of chances will definitely make you an addict and this is not only in the case of gambling but also every game you play, if you will keep on trying it will make you an addict.

[Anait]

I'm not that addicted, because when I was new to the bitcoin community all that I know is, bitcoin can be used for gambling. The same mentality drive me towards sports gambling where I earned as well lost in a random manner. When a made a calculation altogether I have lost more than two bitcoin overcoming the profit. By that time gave a break to gambling.

[seven2smoke1]

I don't have a interesting story with gambling addiction because I saved myself few years ago from being an addicted to gambling. I start gamble at the beginning in some online sites but I used there only a real currency I was normal, I play like a normal gambler did but when I started using crypto, my gambling activities are increased too much because I liked the way to gamble with crypto. I used directbet.eu it's my first gambling sites which accept crypto. It was the best really, hopefully the site now is closed, it saved me too become an addicted in gambling.

I remember the old times when I’m also addict with computer games and other card game here in my place, I also do cutting classes before but I think that is where I learned how to gamble can’t say its addiction but I think its more on pleasure. Well, I do gamble buy never found myself an addict on that because I’ve done it occasionally. You should learn to control yourself and prevent from being addict in gambling because your life is in risk if you continue to become greedy.

[arinalwa]

All I remember I was in college and suddenly we tuned into a FIFA match, and we harmlessly put a bet of 10$ I have absolutely zero idea when those bets turned to 1000 and once mad bet of 10000 (I had zero funds was deep down in gambling debt decided to take a risk call and it paid off). I do occasionally gamble but now I'm able to control it, once you learn the fear of loosing your life is when you suddenly are able to control yourself.

the story is pretty good indeed if we trace the gamblers started out of curiosity and dabbled when there is an incident like this when he got the gamble gain then he will try it again and continue until such that he eventually became an addict for the benefit large enough.

In my community a person lost his house after losing all the money. The problem was that the house was not his alone. His brothers and sisters also owned the house. The gang came to his house and told his brother to leave the house. His brother went to their father and told him that this house is not owned only by my brother. Please leave us. Gang father ordered to put the loser to death.

I've heard a somewhat similar story from an acquaintance of mine, but without gangs being involved.
Husband had taken out an extra mortgage for his house and various other loans to fund his gambling addiction.

A couple of months, maybe years down the road his wife find out and they end up having to sell their house.
Last I've heard they're living with one of their parents and husband went into therapy for his addiction.

I don’t have that kind of kind heart like you have because you are feeling sad for the person who has lost his profits in gambling. My question to you is that why we should feel sad about him because he himself with all his knowledge did that and feeling guilty for him would be a funky thing for me. Everyone knows that what he would have to suffer after conducting some sort of activity.

There is a gambler in our society aged about 50 years. He is regular gambler and mostly he bet on sports and he is so lucky that he mostly wins and when he wins he spend his money on poor people in neighbors. Although gambler has no respect in the community but he received many respect from the people, because overall he is good man.

[Kiweikoo]

I used to play poker online. As i have temember, i was pregnant wiyh my first child at that moment. At first, i was just like to ease my boredom since i have a delicate pregnancy and was not allowed to go out at home regularly, So i tried looking for online games. But the things is i am sort of liking the game and almost got addicted into it. Been experiencing so many sleepless nights which is bad in my condition and in a day instead of sleeping, i was still hooked with in front of my laptop and keep on playing. Until i realized that it is not just bad for me but most importantly to the baby inside my tummy, so in an instant i quit.

Hard story to believe though.

No one can quit from gambling instantly once they addicted to it but you may think too much about the baby will help you to get out of it. Loneliness is is also an important reason of getting addicted to something at that time you were spend too much time on online gambling resulted addiction for you but luckily you get out for a good cause.

No doubt in your saying that no one can quit gambling instantly for good. He can’t quit it even if he wants to quit that’s why call it as an addiction. It’s like the same that someone inhales oxygen while he wants to quit inhaling Oxygen because if he will do this, he would be soon dead.  Gambling has a proper method with which it can be easily cured.

[justdimin]

I knew a guy who was addicted to casino gambling and he always took us to play with him. I always wanted to get away from these places ASAP because people were so nervous and ready to jump you for any reason, like you being too loud or whatever. When they were losing they were usually drinking too much and trying to blame anyone and everyone. Sometimes we could see them wasted on the parking lot shouting at people, looking for a fight. None of you would want to end up like that.

I sure would not want to end up that way.
The funny thing about this whole thing is that they are feeling the negative impact that gambling brings to them, but they still go ahead anyway and that is one thing I just cannot get to understand why and how they do this nonchalantly.

The only conclusion I can come up with is that they apparently allowed themselves to be led by their greed and emotions, until it finally got out of hand all they can do is to blame everyone for their predicament rather than blame themselves or probably transfer the aggression to others, which is one reason they find it hard most times to quit.

[Fromse]

the first time the most influential on gambling addiction is the friend who is there. someone who first played gambling, and the next day would accept a call from a friend to play again. that's what I've experienced and it's so much fun. but when I accept defeat, it is very painful and that is why I started to leave gambling.

You will hardly find even a single gambler who is busy in gambling and that he is not addicted to this thing. Gambling is such a great addiction that it makes impossible for the gamblers to stop doing it no matter how much money they lose.

They keep on looking for the ways which can then help in having more money so that they can then use that money to gambler just for their own peace of mind.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I don't know if this can be called addiction but where I was watching the game of France vs Australia in a club of gamblers in my city, a few persons had bets of 5000 EUR for France and some even 10.000 EUR for it. I guess this is called addiction as I would never risk that amount on a single game no matter how sure it may look from outside. France had difficulty winning and those guys were quite nervous smashing glasses and screaming , only when France scored they calmed down.

With strong willpower and determination to redeem one's own self an addicted gambler can even quit gambling in a few days. Of course the iron will has to be there and the hatred towards gambling needs to be present.

It’s like the same that someone inhales oxygen while he wants to quit inhaling Oxygen because if he will do this, he would be soon dead.

 
Oxygen is essential for life. On the other hand gambling is an addiction or in other words oxygen is a necessity while gambling is an indulgence. Hence this is a poor comparison.

it is just funny how you reacted and quoted thise texts. I guess i have to agree, since disciplining yourself from gambling is hard to do i guess(although i am not really one), but comparing it to some other things that could cause addiction it seems for me that it is hard. Whether winning or losing makes it more addicting. As an example if you win big time, you will though you won easily and needs to win more, if you lose big time you will try to get back all your losses of course, in the end it is a matter of greed.

Hard to stop no matter what the outcome of gambling is something that is very common to see. And unfortunately, such behavior is formed by itself and even without us knowing it. It needs a strong intention so that gambling doesn't lead us to the wrong direction.

[stephanirain]

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

Well. I got addicted in gambling when i start playing with my friends and cousins at the casino everynight we all go to the casino to gain profit and expecting to win a lot of money. Until i end up bankrupt that i have used all of my saving in my bank accounts just to play gambling. Then me and my friends decided to stop playing gambling because it given us a bad habit. We stop playing by jist focusing on working on our jobs and working out at the gym for to keep ourselves busy and get away from gambling.

[coinfinger]

I remember when i was in elementary schools i become an addicted in gambling there comes a time that my allowances for the whole week losses in gambling and i come home empty handed and triggered me to take some money from my parents wallet things that very upsetting when i come to remember.

But when i turn out college i dont know things just changed when i focus on study today i am almost graduated from college and i didn't find my self looking for gambling ,maybe its about perseverance and dedication in life that makes us change

Good story bro. I like your story. Thousands of stories of gambling addiction in my local community. A person in my community aged about 70 years having lots of children lost everything in gambling. He was a laborer and has very small income but he was addicted of gambling. He tried his best to recover his lost money but never succeed and died leaving his family in debts.

Very nice topic mate! Glad someone could come up with something like this. Actually I have never been an addict as I have always learned self-control right from the onset in anything I want to do and always make sure a limit is set. However, I had a friend who really decided not to follow that path and his gambling addiction started by getting very lucky at first.

I can say he actually got lucky consistently for a month plus when he started gambling and winning a lot and then it all started. That is the funniest part, it will all just as you see yourself losing everything and the mindset of the winnings you had initially keeps coming back to tell you to keep persevering as you can get all you have lost back.

Now, he is so broke, his businesses are down, and he is seeing a shrink to help him out as I speak. It is a crazy story, I pity him a lot, I talked to him, but he would not listen and even sometimes started making me feel mine was becoming too much. I hope he ends up better though.

That's why I don't believe them when they say that it's hard to quit gambling for good because if someone really wanted a change he can do anything even beyond his limit. They say that it just takes 21 days to make a new habit so if you just continue pursuing your change then it will happen. Just have a good diversion then it'll be all good.

On the other hand, I'm happy that I didn't get to the point of addiction or better yet I'll be miserable.

Same here with your last statement. Actually, after reading some stories already, it is obvious how it must have been tough and extremely crazy to have gotten to that stage in the first place.

Addiction is one hard thing to combat and I know the only best way to not get addicted into anything is to either stay clear off that thing or make sure you are in control right from the onset and you do not end up giving up that control to your impulses. I can actually imagine how crazy it must have been.

  I agree with you in this regard that by having a strong will power the person can do anything but in case of gambling, I think it will take more time than usual for the person who is addicted to it to quit gambling. This is because the person becomes much greedy in that duration when he didn’t thought to quit it and overcoming that greed is much difficult.

[monkeykiss21]

I play a lot of gambling in crypto and in real life but i'm not addict because meaning of any kinds of games for me even i risk is the knowledge that i can learn from that so i only study then if i already know or i experience really fun then i repeat that again in again unfortunately it's like an addict from other people,Moreover we need to play gambling for knowledge and fun so take some risk

It's good to play gambling when you already knows what is your limitations are. And it's good when you're finding a good relaxation. It's more have fun when you're enjoying but do not keep it for your own self and not treat gambling as your daily work. It's going to addiction when you are doing this as your daily habbit.

I started get addicted in gambling when my friends invited me to come at the casino to play just for fun, but it turned out i mostly play gambling to gained profit that is why i started to get addicted with it. I started noticing it when all of my savings are gone, then i started quitting gambling and start focusing working on my job and my family.

I am happy for you that at least you have noticed it. Many people even don’t want to come over it. They already know they are doing wrong and it is harming them. But still they become innocent and actually ignoring it forcefully. So I think if someone know it, he mustn’t be concealing himself from such harm and negativity. Better is to go against this game. Good luck.

[Kakmakr]

A friend from work has a gambling problem and he banned himself from the Brick n Mortar casinos. The security guards at the entrance will be informed from the CCTV operators when he arrives at the entrance and then they will deny him entrance.

He lost almost everything, including his wife and kids and this was the turning point for him. He told me that he realized that he had a problem, when he took the food budget to go gambling and his wife and kids had no money for food. They left and he had to pay for a expensive divorce and he has to pay Alimony or he will go to jail.

He has stopped completely and is working on resolving the broken bridges with his ex-wife and kids.

I do occasionally gamble but now I'm able to control it, once you learn the fear of loosing your life is when you suddenly are able to control yourself.

Hmm. Once you understand there is a great chance of losing, the more you will be able to control the decisions you make. Nice one, even though I did a bit of rephrasing. The thing is a lot of people usually do not see the fact that relying too much on the outcome of gambling being positive is actually a very huge problem on its own and that can mar the person completely.

So it is better not to get too overwhelmed with winnings or emotional about losing and as long as you know it is not something you should be too attached to, you will know how to manage yourself.

[Bookmaker.info]

It's a dangerous habit, but it's a habit non the less so if you can't avoid it, it's better to try to control it. A good way is to put yourself limits. For example time limit if you play active games like Poker,BJ,slots etc etc. You can say 1 hour for example and then you go home,or 2 hours or just anything that you can stick to without crossing the line. Other good strategy is to put yourself profit/losses limit. For example tell yourself : "I start with $100. I either make them $200 and leave or make them $0 and leave". Don't get too greedy because in the end "the house always wins" and don't get too desperate and risk more and more money. Tell yourself "tomorrow is a different day. Things will be better. Don't lose too much today.". It is better to avoid that gambling loophole in general, but if you are stuck in it and don't plan on leaving - then learn to control yourself as much as possible and avoid tilting at all costs.

One of my friends lost a considerable amount at the casino playing Black Jack. The next week, he got an insurance going to his hands, and guess what: he also lost that.

Whoah that's a little bit too careless for your friend it seems. It's unfortunate that no one talked him out of it. There are a lot of things more important than gambling and your friend found that out too late. I know a lot of people who actually made the same mistakes because of being too hooked at that's just the start of it.

I used to do cutting classes when I was in my high school days just to play cards outside near to our school , I just stopped gambling when my teacher told my mother what are the crazy things I've done in school ,my mom was so angry with me because she thought that I doing good to my class specially that I am a girl but I already kearned my lesson.

I remember the old times when I’m also addict with computer games and other card game here in my place, I also do cutting classes before but I think that is where I learned how to gamble can’t say its addiction but I think its more on pleasure. Well, I do gamble buy never found myself an addict on that because I’ve done it occasionally. You should learn to control yourself and prevent from being addict in gambling because your life is in risk if you continue to become greedy.

That obviously is not even something to worry about except for the fact that it did affected your studies in a way but we all know that most kids love to play anyway than read their books. However, in this case with gambling addiction, it is a whole lot more since it is going to be affecting you negatively and coming out of it is usually a very serious one. I have never been an addict either but I have heard of several storied that did not end well or really took some serious pain and work getting out of.

All I remember I was in college and suddenly we tuned into a FIFA match, and we harmlessly put a bet of 10$ I have absolutely zero idea when those bets turned to 1000 and once mad bet of 10000 (I had zero funds was deep down in gambling debt decided to take a risk call and it paid off). I do occasionally gamble but now I'm able to control it, once you learn the fear of loosing your life is when you suddenly are able to control yourself.

the story is pretty good indeed if we trace the gamblers started out of curiosity and dabbled when there is an incident like this when he got the gamble gain then he will try it again and continue until such that he eventually became an addict for the benefit large enough.

In my community a person lost his house after losing all the money. The problem was that the house was not his alone. His brothers and sisters also owned the house. The gang came to his house and told his brother to leave the house. His brother went to their father and told him that this house is not owned only by my brother. Please leave us. Gang father ordered to put the loser to death.

Oh.. this is not a new thing. One of my neighbor started from losing his car until he got to the point of using his house to get a loan as a collateral all because he wanted to use it to gamble and when he was asked why he would go that length, he said he needed to recover all he has lost.

I am not sure if this is what a lot of addict usually has in mind when getting addicted but to me, this is just some flimsy excuse. He was actually taken to a rehabilitation center anyway with the help of his family which I want to believe he is doing well now, but it was a very tough one for his family as they got affected badly and even got to the point of him rendering them penury except that the wife's family helped out.

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

There's a lot of gambling addiction stories, which really it's  not good to be an addict in gambling. Some are becoming worst and others become a broken  family.lts really hard to be an addict gambler so it's important to have a discipline if you are gambling. You have to control yourself and think about your family.

It's really hard to come out from things that you already been doing for quite some time, being addicted to gambling is a real problem, keep doing it from your daily life and always risking your hard earned money,  I can say that I also have my own versions of a story, once I also engaged too much with dice and sports betting, after losing a huge amount of alts from a exchange who also have dice inside of it, realizing the fact that engaging too much really affecting me and the money that I spent almost can feed my family for a month it came to my conclusion that moving away is hard but willingness is much stronger if you will take it seriously.

Hmm. Once you understand there is a great chance of losing, the more you will be able to control the decisions you make. Nice one, even though I did a bit of rephrasing. The thing is a lot of people usually do not see the fact that relying too much on the outcome of gambling being positive is actually a very huge problem on its own and that can mar the person completely.

So it is better not to get too overwhelmed with winnings or emotional about losing and as long as you know it is not something you should be too attached to, you will know how to manage yourself.

I have many gambling addiction stories. I want one of them with you people. My neighbor was used to play ludo without any bet but gradually he turned to gambling and started betting over the game. Now he is a regular gambler. He is also government employee and now engaged.

Some days go they were gambling in a house, because gambling is not allowed in my country and there are no casinos here, he was arrested by the police and too him in jail and also took all the money on the table.

[fabrizoc]

It's a dangerous habit, but it's a habit non the less so if you can't avoid it, it's better to try to control it. A good way is to put yourself limits. For example time limit if you play active games like Poker,BJ,slots etc etc. You can say 1 hour for example and then you go home,or 2 hours or just anything that you can stick to without crossing the line. Other good strategy is to put yourself profit/losses limit. For example tell yourself : "I start with $100. I either make them $200 and leave or make them $0 and leave". Don't get too greedy because in the end "the house always wins" and don't get too desperate and risk more and more money. Tell yourself "tomorrow is a different day. Things will be better. Don't lose too much today.". It is better to avoid that gambling loophole in general, but if you are stuck in it and don't plan on leaving - then learn to control yourself as much as possible and avoid tilting at all costs.

Yeah and the reason is that a gambler has no respect in society and all the people hate him even his family do not like a him. Controlling for a regular and addicted gambler is very hard but it is possible to stop gambling gradually. Strong determination is needed to quit gambling addiction. It is hard but not impossible. If a gambler thinks of his future he can quit gambling.

One of my friends lost a considerable amount at the casino playing Black Jack. The next week, he got an insurance going to his hands, and guess what: he also lost that.
True story unfortunately.

That is why having the confidence while betting can be fatal most of the times but he lost his affordable money I think,we need to only gamble with our spendable money not the money which is needed for our daily life routine so guys understand that gambling is for fun not as business.

I do occasionally gamble but now I'm able to control it, once you learn the fear of loosing your life is when you suddenly are able to control yourself.

When we get a bad result we must stop, but I'm sure it's a very difficult thing to do. if you can control the conditions and situations then you are a great person. Few people can do that because addiction is a very hard thing to leave behind. It is worth noting that gambling game is a bad moment and should never be done. I am sure that many people are disappointed after they try to play gambling for the first time. They enter the gates of destruction in their lives when cheap gambling comes inside.

Bad results actually start from expecting very good results which is obvious that a lot of people fall into such trap because they expected so much from gambling.

Is it not obvious that even in the gambling discussion thread and what we have seen with some topics, a lot of people assume they are gambling with a huge possibility of making a lot of money and then forget they are not investing but playing game and before they started realizing, it would have been too late for them?

A friend from work has a gambling problem and he banned himself from the Brick n Mortar casinos. The security guards at the entrance will be informed from the CCTV operators when he arrives at the entrance and then they will deny him entrance.

He lost almost everything, including his wife and kids and this was the turning point for him. He told me that he realized that he had a problem, when he took the food budget to go gambling and his wife and kids had no money for food. They left and he had to pay for a expensive divorce and he has to pay Alimony or he will go to jail.

He has stopped completely and is working on resolving the broken bridges with his ex-wife and kids. 

Really nice way to go about it for someone who is really ready to do so anyway. Banning oneself from casinos is actually one easy way to go about it but a very tough decision to make at the same time. However, this was the same thing that happened to a cousin of mine as well. The thing is after losing most times, there will always be this sober state for most of the gamblers, and this is the best time to always make some concrete decisions to be able to get out of it and decisions like this is one of them.

Whatever it is, you would be getting nothing at the end. What the worst story it is if this man have lost all what he has. Nothing to see at the end of story. He has lost his kids and wife too. And I suppose there is nothing detrimental than losing your family members. Money has no value in my opinion if compared with family members and relations. So better is to live without gambling.

Well i never got addicted in gambling because i can control myself from spending a lot money. I only gamble if my friends or family only ask me to join with them in the casino. My friends are the ones who became addicted in gambling because they consider gambling as a source of income which it is bad thing to do.

This is my gambling addiction greatest moment

Damn looks like you are the only gambler on this forum who is addicted to gambling but still somehow is able to generate huge amounts of profits. Looks like you should have some control over yourself as the more you gamble there is a higher chance that you lose everything.

I have a bad story of this FIFA world cup Frist game between Russia vs Saudi Arabia I was bet on under 4.5 goals before game starts and finally I made all amount bet in 4.5 with 0.1 odi (amount around 900usd), I was happy still 90 minutes but final 4 minutes the Russian made 2 goals my wining hope is gone still I am not recover the amount.

[GoodLuck2]

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

That's why I don't believe them when they say that it's hard to quit gambling for good because if someone really wanted a change he can do anything even beyond his limit. They say that it just takes 21 days to make a new habit so if you just continue pursuing your change then it will happen. Just have a good diversion then it'll be all good.

On the other hand, I'm happy that I didn't get to the point of addiction or better yet I'll be miserable.

Same here with your last statement. Actually, after reading some stories already, it is obvious how it must have been tough and extremely crazy to have gotten to that stage in the first place.

Addiction is one hard thing to combat and I know the only best way to not get addicted into anything is to either stay clear off that thing or make sure you are in control right from the onset and you do not end up giving up that control to your impulses. I can actually imagine how crazy it must have been.

I think the person can remain addiction less even when he continues to go to casinos with his friends and other people. First of all he himself would have to think and hate gambling because it is not for the good sake of the person. Secondly, he should sit with the people and listen to their talks who have suffered the consequences of gambling and after that had left the gambling.

You're right without gambling in your life you could give lots of time for your family, but for those addicted with it it may take lots of time to remove the habits. We should analyze those scenarios that gives lots of reasons why you're getting addicted to gambling, and nothing could replace the family so as sort of friendly advice here; please avoid being stuck with gambling. Reconciliation for your maried life as a family man should be done in order for us to gain back the trust that has been lost due to addiction.

[KingdomHearts]

Im not a gambling addict but i know some and it didnt make anything good to them. One person i know becomes addict on the game called cock fighting that is a popular gambling here in my country. He works abroad and comes back here once a year and yes, he has plenty of money to gamble with. He really likes to gamble.He even get prison on the country hes working for because of addiction. I dont have any news about him after that.

Truthfully, it has not, except if we want to lie to ourselves. Although, the whole addiction did not just start in a day as so many people just get so greedy at some point and then they just kept looking for things in the spot where they obviously cannot find it.

So many people though gamble for different reasons, but the best way is to see it as fun and see how much you are gambling with as what you are paying for the fun but the chances of winning something from it is possible. If most gamblers can think it that way, I feel things would be a lot better than it is today.

I was out of gambling for a while because of my emotional gambling nature.
I try to do sports betting as mathematical as possible but often I get overwhelmed by loss.
I had decided not to bet above $100 on any bet.
Germany being my favorite team, I put a $500 bet against Mexico, which I lost.
That increased my frustration and I came to bet $1000 on portugal. And to my luck I won it at 1.65 odds.
But if I would have lost, I would have been cashless and betless for the rest of world cup.

I prefer to divide the money that we needed for our daily life and for gambling than to spend the money on just gambling. I think it is better than we can think that we still need that money to continue our life for buying something and we should know that if we are stays in the gambling, we can lose the money that we have. I am sure that we have our own gambling addiction stories and I hope that it is just the experience that we have in the past and for now and in the future, we can control our mind and our emotion when we are playing gambling.

Why do you keep betting when you literally put everything on the line?
That's straight up addiction when you place stupid bets like that, betting almost an entire months wage.

I'd definitely take some time off and reflect whether you still want to continue gambling after that.

All I remember I was in college and suddenly we tuned into a FIFA match, and we harmlessly put a bet of 10$ I have absolutely zero idea when those bets turned to 1000 and once mad bet of 10000 (I had zero funds was deep down in gambling debt decided to take a risk call and it paid off). I do occasionally gamble but now I'm able to control it, once you learn the fear of loosing your life is when you suddenly are able to control yourself.

I've heard a somewhat similar story from an acquaintance of mine, but without gangs being involved.
Husband had taken out an extra mortgage for his house and various other loans to fund his gambling addiction.

A couple of months, maybe years down the road his wife find out and they end up having to sell their house.
Last I've heard they're living with one of their parents and husband went into therapy for his addiction. 

Nice one. That is simply a lot to take in and the wife must really have loved the husband to have gone through all the thick and thin to still stick with him, because in this day and age when divorce is now something that people do not even blink an eye before proceeding, most especially in the western world, that would have made him to lose even his family. Addiction is a very bad thing, and this was one thing that made an uncle of mine ended up becoming a huge liability before he ended up dying penniless.

I my life I have visited just one time to a casino with my friends. Two of my friends were regular gambler and they have lot of gambling experience but I and one other friend was not familiar with gambling. When we reached to casino they forced us to gamble just one time and I remember I won the bet and they told me that you are very lucky. You should gamble more but I refused.

Well I don’t consider it more than a lucky game. It is like lottery that you have invested something in it and now you are just picking out some receipt. This might have got your name on the board or you may be just going with off mode. Don’t rely on luck and following this we know if we consider those options, we might lose our wealth. So better is to thing over it and make good decisions.

I think when the gambler will come to know this thing that the chances of losing in gambling are much more than winning, I think not only he will leave gambling but also will come out of these financial crises that he has been suffering from years. But when I see people the way they are gambling in casinos with such a spirit, it seems impossible to me that they will stop.

That's good to hear, you overcome your addiction to gambling. I am also like that before, I can't continue my life if I can't play gambling in a day, I always invited my friends, cousins and also siblings to play with me and bet, they also want it too because they are also just like me, when I finally notice that I am losing and just wasting my time every day, every single day of my life is just a waste of time, I am thinking to have another activity to have, then after that I also reduce my gambling games every day, until I totally stop playing with them.  For now, I sometimes play but not that addicted just like before.

You should feel lucky that you where able to recover the lost amount and made some profit out of it. Now do not spend those whole amount on betting unless you have extra money and can afford to lose it. Just if you cannot control yourself only play with those extra profit.

That's pure luck and i would say it makes no sense to bet with your emotions because Germany is your team and so they are going to win every game without you examining the current strength of the German team. This world cup has been unpredictable from the start and there's no consistency and so it will be a great mistake to keep going all out like that. If he continues this way i bet he would burn out even before the round of 16.

This world cup has been unpredictable from the start and there's no consistency and so it will be a great mistake to keep going all out like that. If he continues this way i bet he would burn out even before the round of 16.

Oh damn. You lost a lot of money with that and nobody expected that in my opinion too. It’s just that you should bet how much you could lose. The emotions are definitely a factor on how you react or respond to something, especially when it’s connected to money. I hope you have learned a lesson there.

[gilangIDR]

I was out of gambling for a while because of my emotional gambling nature.
I try to do sports betting as mathematical as possible but often I get overwhelmed by loss.
I had decided not to bet above $100 on any bet.
Germany being my favorite team, I put a $500 bet against Mexico, which I lost.
That increased my frustration and I came to bet $1000 on portugal. And to my luck I won it at 1.65 odds.
But if I would have lost, I would have been cashless and betless for the rest of world cup.

I my life I have visited just one time to a casino with my friends. Two of my friends were regular gambler and they have lot of gambling experience but I and one other friend was not familiar with gambling. When we reached to casino they forced us to gamble just one time and I remember I won the bet and they told me that you are very lucky. You should gamble more but I refused.

Basically all gambling games will be very influential on a fortune. Nothing can be ascertained when playing gambling. If your friend is much more experienced and you think your friend will get much better results then it is a wrong thought. The game of gambling will not see our ability because all things related to the result of playing gambling hangs by a luck.

But on some sort there are really games which other experienced gamblers do have edge among others just like on poker. We do know how this thing works and i can definitely say experience is a must to manage your hand,if not then expect would be the outcome. Addiction cant really be avoided on all kind of gambling games because this would be entire depending on a certain player. If the can handle himself and sensible enough on his actions then tendency would really be less. When it comes to stories for sure there are lots of it but having the same outcome neither broken lives or commit suicide because of debt.

[bitcoinrays]

It's a dangerous habit, but it's a habit non the less so if you can't avoid it, it's better to try to control it. A good way is to put yourself limits. For example time limit if you play active games like Poker,BJ,slots etc etc. You can say 1 hour for example and then you go home,or 2 hours or just anything that you can stick to without crossing the line. Other good strategy is to put yourself profit/losses limit. For example tell yourself : "I start with $100. I either make them $200 and leave or make them $0 and leave". Don't get too greedy because in the end "the house always wins" and don't get too desperate and risk more and more money. Tell yourself "tomorrow is a different day. Things will be better. Don't lose too much today.". It is better to avoid that gambling loophole in general, but if you are stuck in it and don't plan on leaving - then learn to control yourself as much as possible and avoid tilting at all costs.

Yeah and the reason is that a gambler has no respect in society and all the people hate him even his family do not like a him. Controlling for a regular and addicted gambler is very hard but it is possible to stop gambling gradually. Strong determination is needed to quit gambling addiction. It is hard but not impossible. If a gambler thinks of his future he can quit gambling.

I know the main reason behind this fact for which I think a real life gambler has no respect in the society and that is reason is that because these gamblers are conducting something which is portrayed negatively almost everywhere and the people think that how the person who is conducting such a criminal like activity can be good in his life.

[aTriz]

Maybe this story has nothing with cases of real gambling addiction, but this days somewhere in Scotland opened a hospital which treat crypto addiction, yes, crypto one,there  is such apparently. Does anyone know of details of this story or examples of crypto addiction? Some people compare investing g and trading g of crypto currencies with gambling, so I think it has some contact with gambling addiction example.

I got a glimpse of this story few days ago and then I kept worrying what the whole idea is all about. How can investing in any way be compared to addiction ? I am not sure though, since while some people are investing, they actually do it with no knowledge and they make silly mistakes whatsoever by going in too big and then afterwards trying all means to recover from the volatility loss they have had or is this just a way from the hospital to send some message regarding how crypto can actually come with addiction ?

If it is by that, then I can as well say I am addicted to crypto since it makes life easier for me in terms of payment and I sure do not wish to get out of the addiction.

Your story is not according to the topic. The topic is about gambling stories and you told crypt addicted story. Anyhow it is nonsense and it means that the staff of that hospital in not in favor of crypto and they think it is not good for health. That’s why they think that crypto is an addiction and it should be treated. I am also crypto addicted and more happy than that hospital staff.

[Supercrypt]

without gambling in your life you could give lots of time for your family, but for those addicted with it it may take lots of time to remove the habits. We should analyze those scenarios that gives lots of reasons why you're getting addicted to gambling, and nothing could replace the family so as sort of friendly advice here; please avoid being stuck with gambling. Reconciliation for your maried life as a family man should be done in order for us to gain back the trust that has been lost due to addiction.

Gambling generally does not bring much to the table anyway and for me, rather than paying for something that would give me heartache, headache and so many aches at the same time, I would rather go use that funds to go catch some fun that would at least make me feel more relaxed, enjoy myself and get the best value of what I paid for.

Gambling addiction is normal as hardly will you see people who gamble for fun, unless we just want to deceive ourselves, the only difference is that some are able to control themselves in most cases by understanding the reality.

Sports betting is a skill-based gambling but don't think only your experience and skills will help you to win your bets you must need the luck to win your bet.
For me, $100 is also big amount but you can afford this money then it's good, maintain the same amount don't get exist and bet more.
martingale strategy will work but not every time.

I hear sports betting is skill-based game but i never hear any person winning through it. One of my friend used to bet in cricket matches, most of time he used to loose money in cricket betting. I dont know why he is loosing money even though he is very skilled person.

I think sports betting is skill-based because we need to have the knowledge to win the games because when we choose the teams, we need to know everything about teams so we can know the chance to win the games. besides that, our chance to choose the games is bigger and we have a chance to win the games too. but don't forget, we need to know how much money that we want to use to spend on sports betting.

I am happy that I have no interest in Football  so there is no question of betting on these matches.

I had some interest in cricket in past but I never made any bet on them also using nay betting website. Now I hardly  get time to even see any sports so betting is not an option for me.

So, I joined one of Bitcoin gambling website last year on September. It was the first time that I played gambling game such as dice and after that I used to play and I couldn't leave the website. Than after some months I found another gambling website called Stake and there also I couldn't levae beacuse there 12 different games. So, till now I'm playing both of these websites. I have been in love to play there because there are a lot of features such as provably fair, Jackpot and free faucet first of all!!!

These are only the friends who are responsible for the gambling of every person who used to be an intense gambler in his society because he himself wasn’t aware of gambling when he came in this world and the parents are the people who will always think for the good of their child and they can never teach him to go for gambling. The people left behind are friends who take him to gambling.

[lol1yatme]

All I remember I was in college and suddenly we tuned into a FIFA match, and we harmlessly put a bet of 10$ I have absolutely zero idea when those bets turned to 1000 and once mad bet of 10000 (I had zero funds was deep down in gambling debt decided to take a risk call and it paid off). I do occasionally gamble but now I'm able to control it, once you learn the fear of loosing your life is when you suddenly are able to control yourself.

Hmm. Once you understand there is a great chance of losing, the more you will be able to control the decisions you make. Nice one, even though I did a bit of rephrasing. The thing is a lot of people usually do not see the fact that relying too much on the outcome of gambling being positive is actually a very huge problem on its own and that can mar the person completely.

So it is better not to get too overwhelmed with winnings or emotional about losing and as long as you know it is not something you should be too attached to, you will know how to manage yourself.

I think when the gambler will come to know this thing that the chances of losing in gambling are much more than winning, I think not only he will leave gambling but also will come out of these financial crises that he has been suffering from years. But when I see people the way they are gambling in casinos with such a spirit, it seems impossible to me that they will stop.

This is the main problem here. We all know the consequences of gambling at any stage, but still these people are getting into this detrimental world. Whenever someone is interested in something, he surely gets some info regarding what are cons and pros of this and how I would be managing loss and all that stuff. But see, this never goes off in this gambling picture.

If you’re emotional gambling nature helps you to stay away from gambling after some moments in it, I think you are the blessed one among many others because this nature wouldn’t let you to face the consequences of gambling in the later part of your life.

However, most of the people win in sports betting even if they lose in other gambling game because it uses your knowledge and still you are unable to produce the good.

That was a huge risk to take and simply that is what gambling always end up doing to a lot of people as they want to simply recover their loss which was exactly what you just did but fortunately for you, you ended up getting lucky.

It starts just like that until you keep betting more and losing more and setting the odds even the more against yourself. It is better to stick to reality and know that the outcome could come out negative, and rather than get emotional, stick with that fact and move on.

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

That's good to hear, you overcome your addiction to gambling. I am also like that before, I can't continue my life if I can't play gambling in a day, I always invited my friends, cousins and also siblings to play with me and bet, they also want it too because they are also just like me, when I finally notice that I am losing and just wasting my time every day, every single day of my life is just a waste of time, I am thinking to have another activity to have, then after that I also reduce my gambling games every day, until I totally stop playing with them.  For now, I sometimes play but not that addicted just like before.

I think the people who overcome gambling in this life are blessed with the best because very less people are seen on real life who actually have made a victory against gambling because majority of the people return after facing a very bad defeat from gambling and that defeat doesn’t allows them to stand up for the next shot and compete for their survival.

It's the person's discretion if they want to stop the addiction that they have. It's whether accepting it that it's bad for you and making you less of a person (if you cannot control it). I think the regression that could happen if you win all the time is going to be a loss if you continue. I don't understand why you need to say survival, it's not to the death (except if you use someone else's money to gamble on)

[eldrin]

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

There's this site that I always visit and it became part of my daily routine. I started playing the time that I started earning, I used my profit in gambling, and when I have no funds, I even seek loans, these are the moments like you can't live without gambling. Until I reached the point that I can't pay my loans anymore. I'm really regretful, but still didn't stopped. Luckily I am able to pay my loans. That's the time I started saving, but sometimes, I still greed to win until I loss a lot.

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

You can't remove your addiction instantly, you need to do it little by little. The first thing I did is to convert my cryptocurrencies to fiat, but it's also regretful as you just don't know if the price will go high. But at least, it helped me a little bit. But after some time, instead of converting fiat to crypto, I just seek for loans again, but am more careful now. Right now, I can somehow control myself.

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

Again, I can somehow control myself now. Less loans, less deposit on gambling sites, save more, convert to fiat if I need to.

You should feel lucky that you where able to recover the lost amount and made some profit out of it. Now do not spend those whole amount on betting unless you have extra money and can afford to lose it. Just if you cannot control yourself only play with those extra profit.

We know that everything here is up to the experience and your luck and besides it other managements are also contributing for your survival but winning of game is just depending upon the experience and luck. If a person is not doing well then he should stand away from the table for some time and should think how things work and after getting some experience his winning chances will increase.

[TheUltraElite]

This is the main problem here. We all know the consequences of gambling at any stage,

Several people are so naive that they dont realize and keep in betting without a stop.

but still these people are getting into this detrimental world.

And some people are making profits off it as well. So is the casino making profits of the delinquents.

Whenever someone is interested in something, he surely gets some info regarding what are cons and pros of this and how I would be managing loss and all that stuff. But see, this never goes off in this gambling picture.

Often people have the hidden "I want to become a millionaire" concept in mind which fuels the gambler inside them to take the risk - often forgetting the consequences and going all in. They all end up in the same cycle if they dont stop gambling. People should learn to put a stop on their habits otherwise this will continue forever.

As funny as that last part sounds lol, you are actually right. It is still somehow related though since some people actually consider crypto investment as gambling anyways.

However, with what you have said, I do not expect how anyone in their sane mind will actually want to be treating crypto addiction or will even admit they should be treated. It should not even be called addiction actually since this is more of trying to do good for yourself as long as you are doing it right and like you said, a lot of us are even far better than the nurses in such hospital.

I agree with you a hundred a ten percent in this regard as these gamblers are conducting something which is considered to be a negative thing and the people who are conducting this thing, how they can be a good person and having this type of mindset, they always oppose these gamblers where ever they find them at some social place.

Maybe you are still winning for the mean time, but before your story would start changing, I would advise that you at least start cautioning yourself bit by bit and know how to limit yourself, so that you do not end up getting extremely screwed eventually as things go on. Also, do not be so at peace with the provably fair, as I have never for once trusted any of this.

I had my own lessons the wrong way in the past, and I quickly got past it knowing all this is just a sham to get your mind twisted into gambling.

I agree with your thinking but I personally think that there is a very little ratio of such people, maybe so little that we can easily neglect them. The reason that why these people is very small in ratio is because they themselves don’t want to be blessed by the overcoming of gambling and the thing which doesn’t allow them to do so is greed.   

[noah tall]

the first time the most influential on gambling addiction is the friend who is there. someone who first played gambling, and the next day would accept a call from a friend to play again. that's what I've experienced and it's so much fun. but when I accept defeat, it is very painful and that is why I started to leave gambling.

I remember my first betting with my friend in the age of 20 years. The bet price was our pocket money but we bet on a cricket match because in my country cricket gambling is on the peak. I won the net and was happy I got the money although he was my friend and we were not regular gamblers but I took the money and said that I would never left this money because of the bet.

be careful because if you stay for a long time, you can be an addicting person in gambling. you should know this before it's too late for you to leave that games. I see that you only use the faucet to place the bet and I think if you can use it in every time you play, then I think you can be safe for not depositing your own money in that site. this is really important for us because we don't want to lose any money in the gambling site, right? but remember, you need to limit your money and your time and don't spend all of your time in the gambling sites only.

[recklessMe]

Oh, that was quite a shady period of my life. Over the last year of college I earned a few hundreds of bucks and decided to rest. There was a small casino near my home, so decided to try gambling there. For me it ended up with spending days and nights in that place. Then I cashed out the deposit for university and lost everything. That was awful, but I couldn’t stop anyway. You might consider it funny, but I managed to stop thanks to local charity organization. There was a man, one of its members, who tried to help people like me. We talked with him only once, but we managed to discuss a lot about family, fate, future… Don’t know why but this man impressed me very much, so I accepted my addiction and started cure it. That was hard, yeah. Thanks my parents and friends, they helped a lot as well. Now I play occasionally and only in casinos which support responsible gambling. It's a way out for me, because I like gambling, but I don't want to become an addict again.

You sound to be having a good time with your gambling activity and not worried about getting addicted to it. Well there is nothing wrong in gambling anyways as long as you know how to handle it just make sure this will not make you broke or else you will regret knowing those sites.

[Shinpako09]

I know that I got addicted because I can't stop myself from making depo after a loss eventhough I said in myself after a loss i'll make a depo tomorrow for atleast a little refresh but no i'll depo right away after a loss. I've tried to quit before, after that one loss i've realized that gambling is no good for me but then after a few months I came back again in my habit. I'm trying for my own good but it's really hard.

I am also like that before, I can't continue my life if I can't play gambling in a day, I always invited my friends, cousins and also siblings to play with me and bet, they also want it too because they are also just like me, when I finally notice that I am losing and just wasting my time every day, every single day of my life is just a waste of time, I am thinking to have another activity to have, then after that I also reduce my gambling games every day, until I totally stop playing with them.  For now, I sometimes play but not that addicted just like before.

I think the people who overcome gambling in this life are blessed with the best because very less people are seen on real life who actually have made a victory against gambling because majority of the people return after facing a very bad defeat from gambling and that defeat doesn’t allows them to stand up for the next shot and compete for their survival.

People who made the right choice to stay away from gambling are those people who wanted a change in their lives and yes its not easy to do it because you will get out something from your system but for as long as your faith is strong and you are motivated to do what is right I think you will win the battle. Everything is all in our mind if you can control your mind then you will make it, others who do not do it successful are the quitters and its sad to say that they are many of them.

I was out of gambling for a while because of my emotional gambling nature.
I try to do sports betting as mathematical as possible but often I get overwhelmed by loss.
I had decided not to bet above $100 on any bet.
Germany being my favorite team, I put a $500 bet against Mexico, which I lost.
That increased my frustration and I came to bet $1000 on portugal. And to my luck I won it at 1.65 odds.
But if I would have lost, I would have been cashless and betless for the rest of world cup.

You should feel lucky that you where able to recover the lost amount and made some profit out of it. Now do not spend those whole amount on betting unless you have extra money and can afford to lose it. Just if you cannot control yourself only play with those extra profit.

We know that everything here is up to the experience and your luck and besides it other managements are also contributing for your survival but winning of game is just depending upon the experience and luck. If a person is not doing well then he should stand away from the table for some time and should think how things work and after getting some experience his winning chances will increase.

The worst thing about gambling is it is all based on luck. You can’t just make anything good in a day when you’re not luck. Then why to adopt something that is all pledged over luck. Better is to understand this fact and quit gambling because if this isn’t your lucky day today, you are up to see a big loss coming towards you. So choice is all yours. Either to go for loss or for some profit in trading.

Why we do lose even more? because we do force ourselves to believe in our luck on a particular day or time even though we are already losing we are just still hoping to comeback to profits or even break even.This is always been a bad part of us as a gambler and to avoid we should know how to control our emotions and aims towards it because if none then most likely we would end up into this kind of scenario.

[KingdomHearts]

Before I realized all gambling does is give you some thrills and fun, I was into it for money. Yeah I know it sounds silly now but at the time I really tough I could win it all and now looking back on it I realize it is silly and stupid. At the time I didn't know what martingale was and how it could lose you everything but I saw it as something that might work.

I had about 1 bitcoin (well back in the day it was easier to own 1 bitcoin, I made 0.2 of it just by mining with my old laptop) and I gambled with it, I made it up to 2.2 bitcoin for a while before it all crashing down when I lost back to back in a row couple times and all was gone. Since than I didn't stop gambling but I realize it is something to have fun with and accept the loss even before starting gambling.

[noah tall]

Im not a gambling addict but i know some and it didnt make anything good to them. One person i know becomes addict on the game called cock fighting that is a popular gambling here in my country. He works abroad and comes back here once a year and yes, he has plenty of money to gamble with. He really likes to gamble.He even get prison on the country hes working for because of addiction. I dont have any news about him after that.

Truthfully, it has not, except if we want to lie to ourselves. Although, the whole addiction did not just start in a day as so many people just get so greedy at some point and then they just kept looking for things in the spot where they obviously cannot find it.

So many people though gamble for different reasons, but the best way is to see it as fun and see how much you are gambling with as what you are paying for the fun but the chances of winning something from it is possible. If most gamblers can think it that way, I feel things would be a lot better than it is today.

There are many gambling stories related to my neighbors and friends. Recently one of my friends was gambling in a place and the police raid that place and arrest some gamblers on the spot and some ran away. They are now wanted and the police issued a warrant against them. I was thinking that this is the result of gambling. Loss of money and respect as well.

This is not always a result when it comes to gambling because when theres already an authority involved then most likely they do arrest the owner of the said gambling place where they do operate without any license or illegally which its normal for government to do such act and for those gamblers had been caught out then they might be used as a witness or any other purpose but playing gambling itself isn't an illegal thing unless if your country prohibits gambling then you are definitely going to prison because of violation.

This is a clear example of how gambling could be tricky, exciting and horrible. Imagine having the amount of 2.2 BTC at this time, you could consider yourself fortunate already but again because of gambling you have also loss that consideration. Gambling could be really fun especially when your are winning but we must also remember that in a blink of an eye, the amount that we have won could disappear.

I also gambling but seldom only and sometimes a month would passed before I gamble again. If I were in your place, 2.2 BTC would have been keep in my wallet. That amount will be the start of me investing more in bitcoin.

[Blondy12]

I used to be an addicted poker gambler way back 8 years ago. That time i am still single and didn’t have any responsibilities but myself only. I used to manage my own business then but sad to say it was gone because i mismanaged the business and just let my employess do all the work due to i was so busy playing my favorite game. And then i meet my wife now and right away we got a child. From then i realized before my wife delivered our eldest child that i need to quit my gambling addiction ang just focus into my family and i did.

I am happy that I have no interest in Football  so there is no question of betting on these matches.

I had some interest in cricket in past but I never made any bet on them also using nay betting website. Now I hardly  get time to even see any sports so betting is not an option for me.

As much as I have actually considered trying to do some sport betting based on how vast I am most especially in soccer, I have never really ended up having that zeal but I feel if I actually do, I may be making a lot since most of the time with discussion, I have gotten a lot of predictions right as to how games can turn out, but I would say such prediction is easy without betting anyway.

I just have that thing with betting and gambling since I was a kid with a relative of mine being a huge addict, and knowing how things ended up for him, it was such a pathetic one I would not even wish my enemy to pass through or experience.

I also got addicted with it but once you started trading, your addiction will shift in it. Just start trading and when you experience the profits that you will make, you are never going back to gambling. The amount in trading is certain while you could lose everything in an instant when you won in the middle of your gambling.

It's impossible that you didn't win. Probably you did win but just bet it again and as you continue, lost every winning gamble that you have. I think trading is the substitute for that but you have to be patient in what you are using and be vigilant with other factors like news and stuff like that because it could drive the price up or down. Gambling is chances, and losing has a higher chance because of the edge of the casino.

[Scripture]

I dont have a gamble addiction stories to offer because i do not gamble a lot but reading those stories would make me think not to gomble more. Its hard to go out when you are so deep in it so before anything happens, learn to control yourself. Enjoy what you have now without putting it on gamble.

[kiloiko]

It's a dangerous habit, but it's a habit non the less so if you can't avoid it, it's better to try to control it. A good way is to put yourself limits. For example time limit if you play active games like Poker,BJ,slots etc etc. You can say 1 hour for example and then you go home,or 2 hours or just anything that you can stick to without crossing the line. Other good strategy is to put yourself profit/losses limit. For example tell yourself : "I start with $100. I either make them $200 and leave or make them $0 and leave". Don't get too greedy because in the end "the house always wins" and don't get too desperate and risk more and more money. Tell yourself "tomorrow is a different day. Things will be better. Don't lose too much today.". It is better to avoid that gambling loophole in general, but if you are stuck in it and don't plan on leaving - then learn to control yourself as much as possible and avoid tilting at all costs.

Yeah and the reason is that a gambler has no respect in society and all the people hate him even his family do not like a him. Controlling for a regular and addicted gambler is very hard but it is possible to stop gambling gradually. Strong determination is needed to quit gambling addiction. It is hard but not impossible. If a gambler thinks of his future he can quit gambling.

I know the main reason behind this fact for which I think a real life gambler has no respect in the society and that is reason is that because these gamblers are conducting something which is portrayed negatively almost everywhere and the people think that how the person who is conducting such a criminal like activity can be good in his life.

I agree with you a hundred a ten percent in this regard as these gamblers are conducting something which is considered to be a negative thing and the people who are conducting this thing, how they can be a good person and having this type of mindset, they always oppose these gamblers where ever they find them at some social place.

Exactly we people need to understand this factor that how can a thing that is based on evil can be virtue? How can you even think of a positive thing from totally negative entity? This can’t just happen and likewise no one can get good results from gambling. So better is to leave this gambling and live a happy life where you can have care and concern about your family.

You did a wrong thing. You made profit from mining and lost in gambling, it means you lost time and money. That is the reason that gambling is treated negatively everywhere in the world. Anyway like you I lost one time in regular casino and quit gambling forever, because I knew the consequences of gambling. Before losing everything I quit gambling.

[kateryana81]

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

That's good to hear, you overcome your addiction to gambling.

I agree with your thinking but I personally think that there is a very little ratio of such people, maybe so little that we can easily neglect them. The reason that why these people is very small in ratio is because they themselves don’t want to be blessed by the overcoming of gambling and the thing which doesn’t allow them to do so is greed.   

If I have got you right here, brother I just second your opinion. There are hundreds and thousands stories of people who have played this gambling and they have lost what they had. Mostly are now living a miserable lives because they lost their lives and their money and their relationships as well. They live with much petty scenario and don’t you get in here to ruin your life too.

In countries where gambling isn’t legalized, these people are making double mistakes then. They are playing this game for running their lives, first. And secondly, they are doing a crime and they must hang for it and sentenced to jail. So that this can become a lesson for all others who are even thinking of playing this game illegally. This all is driven by the greed factor to earn money.

Long time ago I have a friend who was a government employee. With the passage of time he started betting on cricket and football matches and gradually he became addicted. Now he is complete gambler and the most dislike person in my community. People keep distance from him. He is the most bad character person in the community.

The amount in trading is certain while you could lose everything in an instant when you won in the middle of your gambling.

For me, its better if you do trading compare to gambling because gambling is pure luck while trading is the combination of knowledge and emotion. I put myself in gambling too around 3-4 years ago and got addicted but not that addicted. Whenever I go to school with my money, I tend to gamble all of my money except my money to use in going back home and money in eating foods. I always lose and it took a long before I realized that I am losing always in gambling. Lucky for me, I stopped myself in gambling right now.

I was addicted of cockfighting long before. In that time cockfight took place once in a week and thousands of people get together in a particular place and then two people set their cocks to fight. Spectators bet on their favorite cock and give the money to the management. Lose or win was your luck and those collected the money who would win the fight.

We all have faced similar issues and here are some suggestions :

1) What is your schedule other than gambling ? You should try to keep yourself as much busy as you can. I was addicted to gambling for quite some time and I ignored everything else that time. Now I have so much work, I have completely forgot about those websites.

2) Most people lear after goign through the suffering. You have the chance to learn from mistakes of others.

[Indamuck]

I don't know anyone personally that had negative gambling addictions.  They key is to risk money you can afford to lose.  For myself, if I'm having a good time gambling its worth the money.  Sports are a lot more exciting to watch when there is money on the line.

[Tigorss]

I used to gamble everyday ,morning until dawn with my friends or neighbors, at first all I want was to enjoy myself but later on even how many times I loss still I keep on coming back hoping that I can win. I've been a iresponsible mother with my son and depend my responsibilities to my parents. I onced pawned my jewelries or valuable things just because of gambling that's how addicted I am in gambling now I am thankful that I can control my addiction. Yes, I still play but it is not like before I know my priorities and I do not want to risk my family just because of gambling.

Games and engines are sometimes designed to keep players interested by offering substitute rewards, such as additional credits or after losing the possibility of winning more than usual in the next opportunity.

If you have excessive money or play just for fun than it is fine even if you lose money as you would not be getting too additive due to which you can endanger yourself and will keep on losing lots of money. Try not to play continuously and keep taking breaks at interval which can help you to stay away from getting addictive.

It is even a good thing that you were able to quickly get the real picture before things ended up getting out of hand. The thing with gambling is that it gets you to be comfortable with winning when you start and then the house edge picks on you all of a sudden and then you see yourself getting into some deep shit eventually.

Gambling addictions stories started from the mentality of the person involved and with the wrong one, it is always a bad experience at the end.

Before the year 2000 I was fond of cricket and even to the edge that I always bet on my favorite team but gradually I leaved that gambling because I have never won at all. When I won the game, other time I would lose and there would no winning and losing. Then I got married and now I have three children. Now I have no extra money for gambling.

That is absolutely right step taken by you at that time. This is surely important that when you have got a family to support and to feed them and to give them shelter and to fulfill their needs and desires then you have o be sensible. Many people are not understanding this fact.

They are just addicted to their games and gambling and in the end, their results are so destructive to them and to their families as well.

You did very well friend, you are no more a gambler who use to get addicted with it and now a person with good thinking is really an example for other addicted gamblers.

They have to do the same as you did because gambling is more for fun and entertainment which is understandable in different times and not a place to get addicted with. You did very well and now play with your kids sometimes for fun for their growth and mental fitness.

Although only those people get into betting who better know what is this all about. They definitely have good knowledge and information about the game but still don’t you think they are playing a full risky game. We always have been advised that never ever go to the higher risky option when you encounter different options for some reason. So better is to quit this too.

I dont have any news about him after that.

Truthfully, it has not, except if we want to lie to ourselves. Although, the whole addiction did not just start in a day as so many people just get so greedy at some point and then they just kept looking for things in the spot where they obviously cannot find it.

So many people though gamble for different reasons, but the best way is to see it as fun and see how much you are gambling with as what you are paying for the fun but the chances of winning something from it is possible. If most gamblers can think it that way, I feel things would be a lot better than it is today.

There are many gambling stories related to my neighbors and friends. Recently one of my friends was gambling in a place and the police raid that place and arrest some gamblers on the spot and some ran away. They are now wanted and the police issued a warrant against them. I was thinking that this is the result of gambling. Loss of money and respect as well.  

This country may be against the gambling and will prohibit it because it has disadvantages as well besides its advantages. Addicted people do not quit it even in countries where it is banned or illegal and some times police officers arrest them on a raid or in fight against them which lead to terrible situations. Gambling is safe in countries where government is supporting it and allowing people to go to casinos as they collect tax from these casinos.

I don't know anyone personally that had negative gambling addictions.  They key is to risk money you can afford to lose.  For myself, if I'm having a good time gambling its worth the money.  Sports are a lot more exciting to watch when there is money on the line.

there is a person that had gambling addictions and they only thinking about playing gambling every day. actually, they are risking their money in the gambling table but unfortunately, they don't remember that they don't have to use all of their money and they still playing even if they know that the risk is just to lose their money. some people doing sports betting and they enjoy their time to place a bet on sports betting.

[rickadone]

People who made the right choice to stay away from gambling are those people who wanted a change in their lives and yes its not easy to do it because you will get out something from your system but for as long as your faith is strong and you are motivated to do what is right I think you will win the battle. Everything is all in our mind if you can control your mind then you will make it, others who do not do it successful are the quitters and its sad to say that they are many of them.

I can't but agree with that. It is always a huge decision to take for someone who is actually tending towards the addictive level in most cases, since it is gradually beginning to get very intense. But those who are all realizing it in the beginning stages, may get chances to come out of it. But others do get suffer severely.

With what you said in the last few sentences, the thing is about being in control and telling yourself you really want to do this, which if you end up doing so, would be a great deal not just to you but others around you. The zeal to want to do the good thing is what would always pull anyone through.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

If you are an addict you will not accept that in the first place, you will clearly think that you are having control over your coins, i just noticed when my coins started reducing and when the price of bitcoin started rising i felt the pain on the amount of money i gambled.

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

I stopped planning to recover the amount i lost, because everyone you have the confidence that you are able to recover the amount you lost, but now i do have a budget to gamble on a monthly basis.

[Evetemot]

I was out of gambling for a while because of my emotional gambling nature.
I try to do sports betting as mathematical as possible but often I get overwhelmed by loss.
I had decided not to bet above $100 on any bet.
Germany being my favorite team, I put a $500 bet against Mexico, which I lost.
That increased my frustration and I came to bet $1000 on portugal. And to my luck I won it at 1.65 odds.
But if I would have lost, I would have been cashless and betless for the rest of world cup.

I am happy that I have no interest in Football  so there is no question of betting on these matches.

I had some interest in cricket in past but I never made any bet on them also using nay betting website. Now I hardly  get time to even see any sports so betting is not an option for me.

As much as I have actually considered trying to do some sport betting based on how vast I am most especially in soccer, I have never really ended up having that zeal but I feel if I actually do, I may be making a lot since most of the time with discussion, I have gotten a lot of predictions right as to how games can turn out, but I would say such prediction is easy without betting anyway.

I just have that thing with betting and gambling since I was a kid with a relative of mine being a huge addict, and knowing how things ended up for him, it was such a pathetic one I would not even wish my enemy to pass through or experience.

Although only those people get into betting who better know what is this all about. They definitely have good knowledge and information about the game but still don’t you think they are playing a full risky game. We always have been advised that never ever go to the higher risky option when you encounter different options for some reason. So better is to quit this too.

I have many stories but very long, I cannot mention here because of the time. But I want to tell that I have seen many people destroying their lives un gambling, even my friends that went into debts because of gambling and then spend a worst life. I do not think of them, I always think of their families, their children miserable lives.

[SpringfieldM1A]

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

That's why I don't believe them when they say that it's hard to quit gambling for good because if someone really wanted a change he can do anything even beyond his limit. They say that it just takes 21 days to make a new habit so if you just continue pursuing your change then it will happen. Just have a good diversion then it'll be all good.

On the other hand, I'm happy that I didn't get to the point of addiction or better yet I'll be miserable.

Same here with your last statement. Actually, after reading some stories already, it is obvious how it must have been tough and extremely crazy to have gotten to that stage in the first place.

Addiction is one hard thing to combat and I know the only best way to not get addicted into anything is to either stay clear off that thing or make sure you are in control right from the onset and you do not end up giving up that control to your impulses. I can actually imagine how crazy it must have been.

I think the person can remain addiction less even when he continues to go to casinos with his friends and other people. First of all he himself would have to think and hate gambling because it is not for the good sake of the person. Secondly, he should sit with the people and listen to their talks who have suffered the consequences of gambling and after that had left the gambling.    

Going with other people should not be a factor of how much he gets addicted or not but on how much he is able to caution himself relative to gambling and addiction. In my view, we should not compare ourselves with other gambler for anything. It could be for winning or losses or even for how frequent going for gambling.
Reading a lot of addiction stories here has made me to understand that what makes a lot of people addicted is just simply because they expect so much and by the time reality kicks in, they are trying to recover until they end up losing their mind to gambling and the whole problem starts.

when i am starting in earning in crypto currency of course i want fast and huge income in an easy way and i found out that matter in gambling which i got addicted in almost 4 to 6 months continuous playing dice game and sports betting but different scenario to some gamblers which experiencing losses because me my gambling history is gives more benefit to me i got huge money for this method and now since my allotted capital was already lose i stop playing gambling also by the help of my wife she didnt give me another capital to continue to play.

Sports betting is a skill-based gambling but don't think only your experience and skills will help you to win your bets you must need the luck to win your bet.
For me, $100 is also big amount but you can afford this money then it's good, maintain the same amount don't get exist and bet more.
martingale strategy will work but not every time.

I hear sports betting is skill-based game but i never hear any person winning through it. One of my friend used to bet in cricket matches, most of time he used to loose money in cricket betting. I dont know why he is loosing money even though he is very skilled person.

Sport betting is not totally skill based as sometime luck still does have a lot to do with it. However, there is a way you can still do some analysis, to at least tend towards how things may eventually end up turning out in a game as the case may be.
One thing actually with it is that with good knowledge about the sport you are betting on, you will actually be sometimes making good calls unless things just happen to not fall in your favor once in a while.


I think sports betting is skill-based because we need to have the knowledge to win the games because when we choose the teams, we need to know everything about teams so we can know the chance to win the games. besides that, our chance to choose the games is bigger and we have a chance to win the games too. but don't forget, we need to know how much money that we want to use to spend on sports betting.

[voztata]

Im not a gambling addict but i know some and it didnt make anything good to them. One person i know becomes addict on the game called cock fighting that is a popular gambling here in my country. He works abroad and comes back here once a year and yes, he has plenty of money to gamble with. He really likes to gamble.He even get prison on the country hes working for because of addiction. I dont have any news about him after that.

Those countries where gambling is legal their governments are collecting tax from casinos which benefit their economies. However in those countries where it is not allowed their people are gambling online which also causes addiction of gambling.

Besides casino addicted people there are online addicted gamblers as well which the biggest disadvantage is but it is up to the mind of people to gamble just for fun is the real advantage of it.

[WaffleMaster]

I wouldn't say I was addicted, but I nonstop played roulette in the hopes of making money quite a while back. I thought that because the casino allowed 'free' spins, I could continuously cycle until I had 6 reds or blacks in a row, then start betting the opposite way. It worked OK to be honest, but I did end up busting out even though I had a 6-roll buffer. It did consume a lot of my time.

Good to hear that you can still control yourself.I think gambling addiction can be overcome if you know your limits and can properly manage yourself inspite of the addiction you have.If you think gambling does not bring any good to you but only causes you big amount of losses,then better quit gambling now before it's too late.

People often compare this gambling with addiction of drugs or some harmful thing that become our habit. But believe me this can’t become our friend at any time so better is to get rid of it. Either it is hard to leave or easy, your main objective should be to get away from it as soon as possible. And for this, you must have got some faithful and beloved person how helps you.

Then it's a sign that you can control yourself. That's good, if you can't stop yourself from playing gambling atleast lessen the amount you are playing as well as the time for it. Not all can do that especially if they are lossing, they wan't to go and play even if it cost them their bankroll gone to zero.

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

Excessive gambling can cause many problems, including: straining relationships, financial problems, legal issues, potential job losses, drug use, and mental health problems such as depression

yes, there is any negative effect that we can get from gambling and we should aware of it. we need to know when we need to stop the game and leave the site/place before we lose all of the money. by doing this, we can prevent to become addicted and we can save the money that we have too.

maybe the answer is like this:
1. when I want to win games without thinking about how much money that I will spend and I don't want to leave the place. this could attract me to become an addicting person in gambling. and so far, I can control myself in gambling games and I can leave the place without attracting to play another round.
2. the point is I can leave the place in anytime because I know that I don't want to spend much money on the gambling games.
3. I still playing gambling but I don't spend a big money on the games. and if I think it's enough for me to play, I will leave the game.

You might be right in your case, but, things aren’t that much good. People are always pulling all their money in gambling just because they become addicted and losing their mind. They consider gambling as best source of money knowing that this is nothing but a deception. Still, their mind is victim of greed and thus results are quite like what should happen.

then they need to learn about how to stop gambling, and they need to stay away from the gambling places. they need to build a positive mind so they can stay away from gambling and not play gambling anymore. I know maybe this will difficult for them, but if they want to leave gambling forever, they need to do this. there is no way that they can make gambling as the best source of money because they will lose at the end of the game especially if they don't have luck.

Sorry for your previous lost, but it is good that at least now you have changed your strategy and now you play gambling for a limit. Gambling is in fact too much risky where we mostly depend on our luck, therefore it is important to play gambling up to a limit and never try to exceed that limit.

I have a story connected with forex and binary options. It all started about 1 years ago. I saw advertising as people easily make money on Forex. I  downloaded the app, read something, watched the video and began to trade. Truth is told that newcomers are lucky,for 1 hour I reached $800 from $100. Then of course in my head surfaced thoughts that I am a great trader. As a result, I drained all the money. After that, I try not to gamble anymore, it's terrible to lose everything.

finally, they learn from their mistake, and they can choose the game that they know and they have excellent information to win the game. not all people can do this, and if they can use their sources to choose the team, then the chances for them to win is wide open, and they can make a lot of money from the game. but they still remember about how much they need to spend money in those game because if they don't do this, then they can risk a big money to expecting a bigger winning and they have a chance to lose all of their money.

Here, more stories depicts population that is poor. Rich aren’t included in here because even if they lose, they aren’t affected in any way. They are still good at their numbers. But yes, when a medium class person gambles and lose it, he is affected so soundly. They couldn’t even resist that hit and sometimes they lose everything they had. So my message to them is to leave this game.

Most of the world population consists of mediocre and poor. There is only a little portion that is actually rich and losing few thousand dollars won’t hurt them in any way. Otherwise, for a common man this amount means a lot. Like you have already mentioned, most players will be losing money and that is not easy for them to digest.

The most important thing is control of yourself dude, right what you say is that if you can't control in gambling, I'm afraid you can become an addict, and when you become addicted then any allocation of funds for gambling will be less. so make sure that you are not gambling to earn money, and don't lose your control.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

When it comes to gambling addiction i can say that many of us are addicted on it. But all i notice is they feel so irratated when they see a large bunge of money they want to have it and win ot in a game also they want all tge money tobe won by them..although it can leads into greediness but they could not thingking about it .

I don't know anyone personally that had negative gambling addictions.  They key is to risk money you can afford to lose.  For myself, if I'm having a good time gambling its worth the money.  Sports are a lot more exciting to watch when there is money on the line.

there is a person that had gambling addictions and they only thinking about playing gambling every day. actually, they are risking their money in the gambling table but unfortunately, they don't remember that they don't have to use all of their money and they still playing even if they know that the risk is just to lose their money. some people doing sports betting and they enjoy their time to place a bet on sports betting.

A lot of people are there who are addicted to gambling. Even I myself addicted to gambling but it does not mean that I have to put all my money in gambling. In fact I have already learned a lesson from my past experience when I used to play gambling without having any limit or planning, but now I play gambling only for limited amount of money which I can easily afford to lose.

Then it's a sign that you can control yourself. That's good, if you can't stop yourself from playing gambling atleast lessen the amount you are playing as well as the time for it. Not all can do that especially if they are lossing, they wan't to go and play even if it cost them their bankroll gone to zero.

The most important thing is control of yourself dude, right what you say is that if you can't control in gambling, I'm afraid you can become an addict, and when you become addicted then any allocation of funds for gambling will be less. so make sure that you are not gambling to earn money, and don't lose your control.

Controlling ourselves cannot be certain of you're addicted for long time, and that's a worst thing about it. But if you're not in that stage of gambling motivations with regards to habitual status of betting, then it's good to limit yourself being engaged with gambling activities. If you eventually learn to handle situations over, I guess in the future you'll be able to be successful with your finances. Just treat gambling as entertainment not source of money making.

I know some friends who started becoming addicted to football gambling.
Losing tons and still winning out some in the long run.

Eventually they learned they lesson and are still winning big time by betting at only matches they know more about.

That is really sad to hear because people are losing so much money and that too it is not that they are super rich and it wont effect them. People try to make money from gambling and forgetting that hardly few only win and rest of them will lose their money.

Here, more stories depicts population that is poor. Rich aren’t included in here because even if they lose, they aren’t affected in any way. They are still good at their numbers. But yes, when a medium class person gambles and lose it, he is affected so soundly. They couldn’t even resist that hit and sometimes they lose everything they had. So my message to them is to leave this game.

The sad is even low class people or people who don't have a stable life also do gambling which is worse and if he lose on gambling, they don't have anything left.

Yeah seriously it is so petty to see such low class people playing in casinos. Although rich don’t want to play as well but still they could recover their loss from business or something they are earning from. But a person who isn’t even capable of feeding his children three times a day, and he is victim of this game. This is so pathetic for management of house as well to let such people play game.

That is one of the reasons why gambling is illegal in my country. People were so addicted to it and alcohol and drugs worsen this situation. Poor people were spending all their money including their daily earnings. Even if they lose money they won't stop. This increased crime rates and eventually government had to put a stop on it.

I've always got caught by deposit bonuses... Usually it starts with make deposit of atleast 15 euro, place a bet, and if it loses, we will compensate you your bet. Previous week play a lot with strategy "place bets on football score result almost a the end of period or game". Placing bets on 40+min and 85+min I have managet to get from 15 euro to 100 in like 2 hours 

[hahay]

With a life that did not have a job at the time and only knew gambling as a source of income, I was already able to become a gambling addict, perhaps with quotes "gambling because I was forced", every day, always gambling and at first it was fun but after 3 years passed I feel bored living on gambling because I can't get rich because of gambling, even though I have won in large numbers but in the end it will run out too by gambling. Until I decided to look for a normal and legal job, after having a job, we would easily leave gambling. So I think those who can't leave gambling, try to find other activities that make you active outside of gambling so you can reduce gambling slowly.

Eventually they learned they lesson and are still winning big time by betting at only matches they know more about.

finally, they learn from their mistake, and they can choose the game that they know and they have excellent information to win the game. not all people can do this, and if they can use their sources to choose the team, then the chances for them to win is wide open, and they can make a lot of money from the game. but they still remember about how much they need to spend money in those game because if they don't do this, then they can risk a big money to expecting a bigger winning and they have a chance to lose all of their money.

Yes that is right but I think that most of the gambling games depends on our luck therefore we have very little option to use our skill and experience therefore I think that in most of the gambling games we can only use our luck and not our hard work, experience and gambling skills.

Exactly, if you intake anything more than what can be digested, it always have bad effects.  People also use temper when they lose the money and this take them further down the road and they indulge in crime and other such stuff. Banning Gambling may not be that much helpful as Gambling can be done on online sites and no government can stop it.
Addicted People should be taught on what is good and bad and gambling should not be taken as an addiction and should only be played as a fun.

Bonuses are there to tempt players. Its because there are people who have the intrinsic urge to make money from nothing because they hate their jobs and they are poor. They would rather make money from gambling than work at all. So they fall whenever they see some tempting bonus on the casino and soon they get addicted to it.

Even if they try to stop it, it tough and they will always find themselves rolling away their coins one by one. Some people will get lucky but most wont. End of the day its the house that will make money.

To be very honest, I am amazed to read that you were able to survive on this game for a long period of three years. That is some duration if you are getting money from gambling and meeting your necessities with that amount.I have never ever considered gambling as an income source but in your case, I think you have got the charm needed. Still, it’s good to leave this game.

It might not be so illegal to most of countries, but religious countries have mostly banned it. You might have observed that in some religions countries, gambling isn’t legal, so people are always trying to do it in hidden places. No one can gamble so open. Mostly law enforcementagencies are raiding over casinos for drug smuggling and gambling. It would be amazing if gambling is banned all over the world.

Most gamblers must know that gambling is for fun only and not a way to become rich in a quick way. Luck is not always there so there are times that we will lose money but there are times that we will win. The problem is when we feel that we are winning, we think that we will win and win and greed comes out until the gambler will be addicted into it. We must control ourselves if we gamble and limit our time in gambling.

I live in a very religious country. Almost everyone is catholic. Those that aren't mostly are foreigners or have foreigner parents. Other than that, everyone's catholic because we were influenced by the Spaniards. The Spaniards conquered our land before and they introduced Catholicism to us. And as you might know already, people go to the Church every Sunday. Yet, some of them came from the casino the night before. Gambling is totally legal in my country. There are places for cockfighting, which a lot of people are addicted to. There are casinos as well. All of them are legal. The only thing that's being prohibited is gambling in public. Gambling has to be done in your house or inside whatever building. It shouldn't be done out in the open.

I suggest reading the following articles to help yourself out:
*10 countries where gambling is completely illegal
*Gambling laws by country

And regarding your speculation about religious countries being the number one to ban gambling, I think you should reevaluate the power of religion again. It can be written out there plain-and-simple that gambling is a sin, but the government will not just make it illegal because of that. The government needs to collect tax and gambling casinos are the one of the biggest taxpayers.

Gambling is really much addictive. Gambling has caused a lot of looses for many peoples and it is continuing the same. Actually the profits in gambling are quite good which highly attracts the users to go for it and they start getting greedy. The ones who got greedy lost everything and the ones dealing with gambling more patiently have got the real profits. Gambling gets addictive and it is really much hard to get rid of it.

[steampunkz]

I remember my first gambling site and the first months I become attached in gambling it was then on prime dice last year ago, Some people share their strategy to profit from little of 0.001BTC investment then instantly won to 0.02 Instant! So I tried first to go with the free faucets but it's not moving upward, try scripts but still always lose. Then finally I am ready to invest 0.002 first for run auto bet then after 5 mins I luckily won 0.025BTC in an instant, withdraw it right away and bought some beer with my friends! That was my unforgettable for me.

If everyone starts winning think that from where will the owners of the casino or site will pay the money. They will not be paying from their pockets so it is only our money which we lose is paid to others and then they have to even make profits as well which means out of 100 if 20 wins then 80 would be losing.

Yeah, it's the worst part of the gambling effect, it's not uncommon for addicts to do that, to go back to gambling they do everything they can, including evil and illegal things to get money and gamble again, it's the same as alcoholics or drugs, but not all addicts like that right ?

[Akarsh54692]

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

Hey there ! I am a gambling addict as well. There's a very interesting project called Hostgames where I've invested.It is a really great platform for those who don't want to face frauds or money laundering in fantasy gaming.You must try it mate !

You did not tell us though how the outcome afterwards have been like unless you of course stopped gambling after then.

I want to believe addiction stories usually start like this as it is more like the platform giving you a welcome party just to make you engross in the moment while thinking it is usually going to be a huge win situation. At the end, you would just realize you have been losing more than you are ever winning.

I only gambled to try my luck for a while, and it did not really work out well for me right from the start and that made me quit immediately. That point in your life when you want to try nasty things but while reading through this thread, it is a good thing I never got the chance to get caught up in the moment of early winings which sounds like the major start for virtually huge percentage of gamblers.

Exactly! This is when addiction starts. Someone said, The taste of victory would deceive us to gamble more. But, somehow I managed to control my emotions. I have won and lose many times. @steampunkz really want to hear rest of the story. Have you come back to gamble again?

People only remember and give preference to successful stories, they although think about themselves that the will also be one of them, but  they are not ready to accept the reality. In fact it is not so easy to make money from gambling but people only choose gambling because they think it is the shortcut way for making money.

Here I can only see such stories about gambling where most of the people have only lost money. in few cases I can see that some people have made a little money from gambling while most of the are lost a lot of their money. so we can conclude the result here is gambling is one of the most difficult way of making money.

[samarnaaz]

I remember that i was addicted to gambling i spent my all time in casino and i earn some money from gambling from that i became addicted and i spent my all money in gambling however it goes on i lost my all money in gambling farther i realized that i am wasting my time my money and all focus on gambling then i quite gambling and i suggest all that don't play gambling please don't wast your time and money it is big lost of life...

Actually making money from gambling is easy if you are able and have known the game well, but to achieve experience and hours of flying in gambling takes time so you will lose a lot of money at that time. And there are still other challenges after you make a lot of money from gambling, which is greed that keeps you playing and will eventually lose too.

When you are spending all of your time to casino, does it mean that as in everyday you are going there? I have read same stories before that they are even renting a house nearby to the casino so they can just go there anytime they want and that's the real intention of renting that house. People who are undergoing with that mindset is literally addicted to gambling. Some of them became successful but many of them lead to miserable life and became bankrupt.

[Wete]

I still remember, that was the lowest point in my life. It all started when I put up a soccer bet and I won quite a lot, that made me addicted, every day I always gamble on soccer betting, as time goes by that defeat starts to get familiar with me, I lose a lot of money and stuff I have everything run out. Even I started to owe the bank to be able to gamble, and that was the wrong way.

All of this is a lesson for me, now I am still gambling but within the limits of the money I have, if the money in my pocket is up I will go home. Don't owe to gamble.

and if you can think that playing gambling can waste your time and you can get lost the money, you need to learn how to stop and quit gambling. no matter it is hard, you need to always try to stop playing gambling and I am sure that in the end, you can avoid playing gambling and you can use your time for the other things which can give you another benefit. it is better to focus in another field so we can have a chance to produce something useful for our life.

That is the problem with gambling.
Once you win with the beginners luck you feel addicted into it and specially into sports betting.
Everyone feels like there will be a time when there picks will do the job and they'll win, multiplying money 100s of times.

I my personally have multiplied my money 120x in sports gambling. But i have also lost almost the same amount that i have won. I am not addicted to it but i do it for the fun of watching the sport

At least you are already realized it even though after you suffered bad result from gambling. Indeed gambling shouldn't be our main thing to do and rely on it could end up badly.

In majority of the cases people realize this only when they either suffer huge losses or when they are out of everything like all savings gone , took some money from friends and cannot repay it etc. Thus feels bad for such people who cannot understand such a simple thing that enjoy the moment and not go for money making form gambling.

[Jateng]

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

I remember one time while waiting for the noche buena to come, I invite my cousins to play a card game and the whole night what we did is to just play any card games and we are unstoppable.
1) i know I am already addicted when I can't help myself to stop playing and betting online and or even in offline.
2) in the scale of 1 to 10, I am happy to tell everybody that I am in the stage of 10 that means I successfully eliminate my gambling addiction.
3) yes I still want to gamble but this time I have to know my limits so that I will not end up addicted again.

[Symphonized]

I know some friends who started becoming addicted to football gambling.
Losing tons and still winning out some in the long run.

Eventually they learned they lesson and are still winning big time by betting at only matches they know more about.

That is really sad to hear because people are losing so much money and that too it is not that they are super rich and it wont effect them. People try to make money from gambling and forgetting that hardly few only win and rest of them will lose their money.

Here I can only see such stories about gambling where most of the people have only lost money. in few cases I can see that some people have made a little money from gambling while most of the are lost a lot of their money. so we can conclude the result here is gambling is one of the most difficult way of making money.

Actually making money from gambling is easy if you are able and have known the game well, but to achieve experience and hours of flying in gambling takes time so you will lose a lot of money at that time. And there are still other challenges after you make a lot of money from gambling, which is greed that keeps you playing and will eventually lose too.

What you guys just said is completely right with my statement.
At least my friend learned the hard way and started profiting.

Thats the point that it's hard to get money from gambling, that is what all gamblers have to remember that gambling is not a place to get profit because of the enormous level of risk and what determines profit is not you but luck. because in many cases people become addicts because they think they can live from gambling income..

you can make a living off it if you have a godlike luck, people get delusional sometimes they think they can get the things they want if they keep reaching for it same goes for addicted gamblers, not only they think they can make a living off it gambling also offers a different kind of thrill where you dont easily find it.

[Flagship11]

I gamble so much, that sometimes my kids dont have enough money to go on field trips.
At least thats the answer I give my wife when she asks for $300 so they can go to the museum

This too happens with me. Sometimes i have nothing with me whenever i go more deeply into any gamble and i mostly loose everything over there causing a lot of hectic for me as well as my family. My wife actually restricts me a lot from gambling and if she found me gambling now, she seriously goes much wild. 

I do gamble yet but in some small fixed amounts and quit gambling the game as soon as all my allocated funds for gambling are finished. By this way, sometimes i also have some profits and i do not loose those profits for re-gambling so it is really good.

Gambling should not be taken much seriously because it can make us a man with nothing. Always try to allicated a small part of your earnings for gblimg if you cannot go far from it. This is the way i use for gambling now.

That is not a good conclusion, first we find out who is gambling whether the person is capable or unable in the sense of knowledge or implementing strategies to play intelligently, maybe you only see focus on one point if you know there are lots of people out there considering gambling As a field of profit and not just playing and wasting time is a very wrong thought, when talking about benefits is quite realistic at the moment because it is an obligation, what I think is that everyone can make a big profit in gambling, if smart in utilizing all opportunities.

Certainly, some people know that, just that some are so adamant and so fond of what they want to believe in that facing the reality becomes a very difficult option for them. It is an easy thing, admit that there is nothing much you are getting from gambling and be ready to live with that, or simply just stay away if you know you cannot live with the idea of losing at all as this is the case where a lot of people usually have problem, and better you are in control from the start, than trying to gain control back at the end.

In majority of the cases people realize this only when they either suffer huge losses or when they are out of everything like all savings gone , took some money from friends and cannot repay it etc. Thus feels bad for such people who cannot understand such a simple thing that enjoy the moment and not go for money making form gambling.

Is it not even good if you realize where you have gone wrong after losing badly? A lot of people tend to push their luck further, hoping in some way they can still be able to recover what they have lost and then the ability to control that impulse as they keep losing keeps becoming hard and difficult. For someone who is able to quickly get a grasp of them-selves, it is indeed a very good start to being in control over your mistakes and making necessary amendments.

A story that gambling addiction occur is when my friend told me about her father.  Her father came from above average family.
But her father is a gambler,  at first he just spent his extra money in playing until he forget his limit.  Until he sell everything he have just to fund his gambling. 

When he have nothing to sell and he became poor his family and daughter left him.

It is ok to gamble but always remember to discipline your self and dont waste your everything.

[Janation]

I gamble so much, that sometimes my kids dont have enough money to go on field trips.

That is just sad man. Don't tolerate your children that way, I know that they can see the importance of money in the future but that is sad as a parent since you are not giving them enough money for their happiness.

Museums are great but your kids being in a field trip is also great since they can be able to communicate with other kids, they can have a lot of memorable experiences that they will eventually tell you on the time they got home from these field trips. "Experience is knowledge", as my teacher on psychology taught us, it is important for them so prioritize them than your gambling.

[myown2cents]

I remember that i was addicted to gambling i spent my all time in casino and i earn some money from gambling from that i became addicted and i spent my all money in gambling however it goes on i lost my all money in gambling farther i realized that i am wasting my time my money and all focus on gambling then i quite gambling and i suggest all that don't play gambling please don't wast your time and money it is big lost of life...

and if you can think that playing gambling can waste your time and you can get lost the money, you need to learn how to stop and quit gambling. no matter it is hard, you need to always try to stop playing gambling and I am sure that in the end, you can avoid playing gambling and you can use your time for the other things which can give you another benefit. it is better to focus in another field so we can have a chance to produce something useful for our life.

I want to tell you a short story of my friend who was gambling addicted for years. One day he lost some money in gambling but he was very upset. He came to me and asked for some money because he was very frustrated and wanted his money back on the same day. I gave him some money and lost that also. Then he lost his house and his one shop situated in prime location. Then he committed suicide.

No one should neglect the children cause of anything, especially cause of the gambling. There are many similar stories with drug addicts, some people are selfish and they think just about themselves, they don`t care about others and what they do to others with their behavior. I gamble for more than 10 years, and in that time my private life never suffered cause of the gambling. I believe that addicts are people with weak minds, people who doesn`t have control over their emotions and actions. There are too many sad stories in this thread, it`s good that some people are willing to share their gambling addiction stories, that can be very helpful to other people, everyone should read about this and to not allow themselves to get to deep into any addiction, especially gambling addiction, which is one of the worst ones, it gets directly into the mind and it`s hard to get out from that.

[Rembedful]

I still remember, that was the lowest point in my life. It all started when I put up a soccer bet and I won quite a lot, that made me addicted, every day I always gamble on soccer betting, as time goes by that defeat starts to get familiar with me, I lose a lot of money and stuff I have everything run out. Even I started to owe the bank to be able to gamble, and that was the wrong way.

All of this is a lesson for me, now I am still gambling but within the limits of the money I have, if the money in my pocket is up I will go home. Don't owe to gamble.

That is the problem with gambling.
Once you win with the beginners luck you feel addicted into it and specially into sports betting.
Everyone feels like there will be a time when there picks will do the job and they'll win, multiplying money 100s of times.

I my personally have multiplied my money 120x in sports gambling. But i have also lost almost the same amount that i have won. I am not addicted to it but i do it for the fun of watching the sport

There are thousands of stories of gambling addictions and all have same verdicts. Nobody made huge amount of money in gambling and leaved. Gamblers always lose his own and winning money back in gambling. I think there is no good side of gambling, and then why not leave it? People want short way to make huge money but the results is against their wishes.

I have many gambling addiction stories. Some with me and some with my friend. I have a friend who is also government employee and he is addicted to gambling. He plays different games like cards games, toss, and sports game for gambling. I never heard that he won a lot of money. He always loses because it is the nature of gambling that everyone loses.

Yeah it is right that you will never read a story that a gambler has won big money in gambling but they always lost because in gambling no one make money instead they lose. I just know one person who won lottery game and now he has opened car bargain and spend happy lie but the reason is that he leaved gambling forever. If he continued he would lose all his money again.

The losing aspect is just a part of the whole gambling, however most of the stories here simply showed that those who ended up becoming so addicted to gambling chose that fate for themselves, by putting so much expectation with respect to winning in gambling.

It is either you win or lose, which in most cases you are always more susceptible to lose than win, and I wonder why people tend not to be able to fine tune their mind to that aspect and not get themselves engrossed in their gamble. I guess this discussion has already enlighten many people here on how to safe-play with gambling. These are not just stories here but a lesson from real scenarios hence remember theses will help at right times.

It's a real bad decision if someone chose to be rich with gambling, most of the people I see in gambling lose money. There may be people who have earned in gambling but they may be less than 1% of the gambling population. If it's just for a short while fun it could be justified but if it's been on the purpose to earn it will be compromising your future for gambling.

Normally, if most gamblers should sit back and reflect on the amount they have lost over time compared to the amount they have won, I am sure a larger percentage of gamblers will find out they have lost more than they have won.

Addiction stories however starts with those who are so much looking at the possibilities of winning at all cost and then forget the fact that gambling is not a way to make money, and since they get to push their luck so much, they get so engrossed and before you know it, to get out becomes a challenge.

[Yatsan]

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

Same. I quit gambling a long time ago but ofcourse I experience to become addict in there. There was a time that I used to earn only by gambling. All of my funds are in a dice game. I don't know but I enjoy playing dice game because eventhough you lose a high amount of money you earn sometimes a lot too. It likes it doubles the profit there. So I end up loosing all of my funds there. Not a good idea.

I am not regular gambler, therefore I have no story of my own, but I want to share a few words about gambling story. In my country gambling is not allowed and one my friend was gambling in a group and police rad that place. They took all their money because of no concept of online gambling and prisoned them all for atleast one month. Now you can understand the consequences of gambling.

[pixie85]

I know some addicted gamblers and most of them got hooked by the things that look the safest and most neutral: the machines. Some of my childhood friends were playing coin pushers and other arcade machines all day. Some got hooked by slots and ended up sitting all day in front of a machine pressing buttons and drinking beer. Those machines won't get you drained fast. It takes months, even years. Looking at them slowly going down to the bottom is very depressing.

Addiction is not good at all. It will destroy your life. You will not only lose your money but much more. Finally you will become mentally disturb. It is nice to hear that you quit gambling long time ago. Now you will fell normal. For me gambling addiction is just like drug addiction and is not easy to quit. You will have to struggle for it. Gambler has no respect in community.

Stop. Stereotyping. Gamblers. I know that there's a general stigma about people hating gamblers but on the other hand, there are communities that actually look up to gamblers. To them, gamblers who make a living from gambling are cool people. Even those who are just able to afford to gamble regularly are being looked up to. They think that the person must have a lot of person and the gambler is possibly gambling constantly because he already established that name and is respected for that. In other words, gamblers are respecting other gamblers.

Quitting an addiction can be hard to some people while it can be easy to others. Those who are only gambling because they feel like they have to do it in order to survive life or cope with their problems will easily stop being addicted to it once they found a way to cope with their problems in a different way. Those who are only gambling because of peer pressure can stop gambling easily when they stop interacting with his gambler friends. It's pretty much a lot about looking for the cause of your addiction instead of just thinking that you're an addict and you have to struggle in order to stop gambling. It's not like you're not in control of yourself.

[upsidedown75]

Mine started out while I was bored at worked during 2013 rush times. Mtgox was getting killed by complaints and it wasn't fully closed yet and people were having hard time cashing out their money so it was starting out. I got into bitcoin, made about 2 bitcoins or so and cashed some of it out, I sold some of my game characters for money and honestly just decided to gamble that money away at work because I was super bored in front of a PC all day everyday constantly.

Thankfully, I had a great boss who let me gamble, play games and watch shows at work because he knew I was doing a good job but one day I lost all of it on a martingale loss streak and just did not return to gambling for years.

Some of my childhood friends were playing coin pushers and other arcade machines all day. Some got hooked by slots and ended up sitting all day in front of a machine pressing buttons and drinking beer. Those machines won't get you drained fast. It takes months, even years. Looking at them slowly going down to the bottom is very depressing.

Now the time has changed and today most of the gamblers gamble online. No tension of machines, slots, hooking or anything else. Now gambling sites provided lots of facilities for their gamblers. Now a day people lose more than they would lose in the past, because the games were slow in that time and now the games are very speedy and you will see the result in few minutes.

Yes, in this day and age almost everything has turned to the online world and of course gambling or anything in the online world will be easier and look relaxed. It is easy for us to access anything on the internet, so it will make you enter much deeper and continue playing until you will not realize how many hours and how much money has been spent gambling, until in the end you will become a gambling addict because of greed and cannot accept the loss that you have experienced in gambling.

Mine started out while I was bored at worked during 2013 rush times. Mtgox was getting killed by complaints and it wasn't fully closed yet and people were having hard time cashing out their money so it was starting out. I got into bitcoin, made about 2 bitcoins or so and cashed some of it out, I sold some of my game characters for money and honestly just decided to gamble that money away at work because I was super bored in front of a PC all day everyday constantly.

Thankfully, I had a great boss who let me gamble, play games and watch shows at work because he knew I was doing a good job but one day I lost all of it on a martingale loss streak and just did not return to gambling for years.

You didn't know actually that you had bet all your money? If you are bored and wants to gamble to kill boredom, just gamble little amount just for entertainment, that is a lesson learned for you.

[Husecomang]

I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities

Same. I quit gambling a long time ago but ofcourse I experience to become addict in there. There was a time that I used to earn only by gambling. All of my funds are in a dice game. I don't know but I enjoy playing dice game because eventhough you lose a high amount of money you earn sometimes a lot too. It likes it doubles the profit there. So I end up loosing all of my funds there. Not a good idea.

Addiction is not good at all. It will destroy your life. You will not only lose your money but much more. Finally you will become mentally disturb. It is nice to hear that you quit gambling long time ago. Now you will fell normal. For me gambling addiction is just like drug addiction and is not easy to quit. You will have to struggle for it. Gambler has no respect in community.

It is good that with the passage of time you quit gambling forever. Now you will feel happy and relax, while a gambler is always in depression and thinks only of gambling. I gambled just once in my whole life and I lost nothing because I played just for a while and then quit. I am a sensible person and in know that regular gambling will destroy not only me but my family as well.

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

One of the gambling addiction I experienced is that when I play for the first time. It is the first time I able to earn using gambling. I felt happy that time because I believe that I will become rich in that kind of earnings. I able to earn good. But false. I end up losing all of my profits and capital. And them I stopped playing gambling because ai don't have amy money.

It is sad for all those people who just cannot understand or do not want to understand for what gambling is made up for or people should be enjoying the fun rather than just to make the more and more money from playing those games or slot machines where chances to win is less.

[Yatsan]

I used to gamble everyday ,morning until dawn with my friends or neighbors, at first all I want was to enjoy myself but later on even how many times I loss still I keep on coming back hoping that I can win. I've been a iresponsible mother with my son and depend my responsibilities to my parents. I onced pawned my jewelries or valuable things just because of gambling that's how addicted I am in gambling now I am thankful that I can control my addiction. Yes, I still play but it is not like before I know my priorities and I do not want to risk my family just because of gambling.

Sad to hear your stories but I know that is the norm for most addictive gambling because I know a lot of people with similar stories. Families are shattered, life are broken because that one gambling bet that we did in the past will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

I'm glad that I didn't go that far though, was able to control before its too late, although the damage has been done on my end, I was able to repair it and just gamble when I have the time and just having fun and not totally wanted to look at it as a 'daily job".

When I was starting in crypto life I able to earn good in my basic trading life. My friends taught me some of the things we must know in trading. I able to earn a quite good in it yet I knew about gambling. I tried it once and then I'm glad because I won high amounts. I become greedy in earnings so that I continued to play everyday and then one day ending up losing all of my money.

I hope that he can get the important lesson on his story and in the next time he played gambling, he doesn't use all of the money as a bet. And don't playing gambling when you are bored because you will get a loss in quickly and you didn't even realize for that. Perhaps, by using a small amount will make us prevent from the big loss so we can think that if we continue playing gambling, we will lose all the money.

Thee are many gambling stories out there, some good , some sad yet we still make new addicts every day. I don't think the sad stories alone will get future addicts to stop but rather the society must offer hope such that if I know I can earn say 50$ by washing plates for 48 hours I will rather make my 50$ that way and not through gambling.

In washing plates you are sure you will be getting 50$ but in gambling either you can make the same amount or lose out completely depending upon the luck and the game which you will bet on. People who have excess and lose out is fine but for needy it is quite bad.

We cannot equate gambling with formal work, even though I am not a gambler but I feel gamblers have chosen their way of life as possible, because they know how bad gambling if they lose, and from that loss they continue to gamble and keep trying to earn / seek profit from gambling even though they realize it is very difficult.

That is some point there bro and I must say a lot of people that got addicted one way or the other found themselves trying to see how they can set up themselves for life by acquiring wealth from gambling with the little they have, but that is a very grave mistake a lot of them end up making at the end.

Addiction stories start from the point where the person decided to see something meaningful in gambling when it comes to making money and decided not to face the reality that comes with losing in gambling, and if such a person fail to admit to that reality, getting addicted becomes inevitable at the end. There are so many ways to earn, but because people keep looking for shortcuts to success, they always end up getting screwed in the process.

[Ewinsane]

Out of not being sensible, a lot of people have always equated gambling with normal work and some would even tell you it is an investment and as long as you stay positive and you are persistent, the chances of profiting from your investment is going to be huge.

With this kind of mentality, they end up getting totally overwhelmed with their thoughts of getting rich hugely with gambling to the point that when they start getting addicted, coming out of it becomes a serious thing. Addiction don't usually just start over night, it takes consistency in doing what is affecting your mental state and then becoming a part of it totally.

This is called regular gambling and addiction. I also spent many nights with my friends but not gambling instead play card games without any bet. That was the best days of my life. All friends got together and spent happy moments of life. I remember those days, but know everything is changed and now we have children and family and working all the time for them.

The thing actually is that there is no shortcut to success and that is something a lot of people always fail to reason and realize and all they are just busy looking for is to be able to make a huge gain and profit from gambling, which is usually the main thing that sets them up for addiction actually.

Addiction is not something that usually just occurs immediately as it is a gradual thing, and it all starts from the mindset you started with towards gambling and as long as you get yourself engrossed in the activity with such mindset and you get hooked, getting out of it will always become a problem in the long run.

One day I bet with my friend on a football match between Germany and Brazil. I bet that Brazil will win the match because it was my favorite team but unfortunately Brazil lost the match and I lost the bet. In that day I realize that I am not lucky in betting and leaved sports betting. But I have never gambled in casinos or online because I know the consequences of gambling.

Gambling story will always be a sad story because gambling itself is bad thing and the related stories will also be bad. You cannot expect something good from gambling and gamblers. Both are ulcer for the society. I have also many gambling stories but not my own because I am not gambler and I think that gambling is the worst thing in the world and I cannot waste my money and time in gambling.

[crwth]

I got a friend who can't live without gambling even for a day,he is much older than me and he is working in a company and getting salary to cover his life expenses but he got the desire to be a richer person so he tr gambling everyday and he hoping that someday he will be a millionare but he is just losing all his hard earned money.

It always starts like that, gambling for a day, then gamble every week. When it's payday, a percentage of the salary that he/she is going to cover his gambling expenses. I think nothing is wrong with that unless it hinders you to other priorities like the utilities and bills. It's always like that for the people who get addicted, and they forgot what they should be doing in the first place.

You can be a millionaire in gambling, and you have to have luck. That's not something we cannot control. We should learn from one another where the pain experienced by others, like losing a lot of money through gambling, should serve as a lesson. You don't have to go through too, learn from the mistakes.

That is a wrong thought. In fact, today many people experience destruction in their lives when deciding to play gambling. Many sad stories when someone tells about gambling games. Wealth is not a thing that can be obtained from a fortune, wealth and success is achieved from the hard work of the person. So a very influential gambling from luck can never make someone successful !!!! Please understand the risk and when we can avoid gambling games we can get closer to a bright future.

Hoping to become a millionaire from gambling is a false expectance and the risk will definitely be so high. With this hope it means that he will continue to try until his dream is achieved and that can take a very long time. Or even he could fall bankrupt before his ambition were reached.

It will only for the chosen one who can become a millionaire from gambling but for the other people, is only a big dream which they cannot achieve if they don't have luck. His ambition will ruin his life without any chance to get what he lost before. It will never give a good result unless he becomes addicting in gambling.

Luck is just a factor in gambling and not a guarantee for winning the game. My friends who are gambling adductors told me several times that they even lost very easy and simple games not in casinos but in sports betting. It is their luck and sometimes they won unbelievable games, it is also their luck but mostly they look the performance of the tram and then bet.

That is why we need to remember that we don't have to play gambling for a long time. Become addicting in gambling is too dangerous, we can get broke without having any money plus we don't have any chance to recover the money we used to play before. But maybe we could still play gambling to get fun with our friends, and of course, we need to know the limit of time and money we should use so we can prevent to lose all of the money.

By washing plates your income is confirmed and your mind is clear but in gambling you can even make thousand dollars in an hour but it is not guaranteed and nay lose your $50 in seconds. What verdict do you get from this scenario? When there is a risk the profit will be high and when there is no risk and the income is confirmed you will get less. Don’t fool yourself and don’t compare job with gambling.

This is a reality because many people already believe in gambling, even though in the end they experience addiction and fail to face these difficult conditions. It's better to avoid gambling games from now on and make your life much better !!!

Don't risk our future !! Believe that there are many other things that can lead us to success.

[evforster]

I got a friend who can't live without gambling even for a day,he is much older than me and he is working in a company and getting salary to cover his life expenses but he got the desire to be a richer person so he tr gambling everyday and he hoping that someday he will be a millionare but he is just losing all his hard earned money.

The same case is with many people. They want to be rich in short time but it is just their desire and they choose gambling to fulfill their desire. But I want to say that if it was possible everyone would be a gambler now because everyone wants to make money as soon as possible. The result always differs from the expectations and they even lose the money for their daily expenses. Their life conditions become miserable gradually.

That is usually the way I see it most of the time. When you are so engrossed in the act of gambling that it gets to the point where you are beginning to over think things or assuming it would set you up for life without getting in terms with reality that it is just a game of luck, it would be like seeing a very huge ditch in front of you and deciding to jump into it, and that apparently, will affect your future hugely.

Gambling is something that has really made a lot of people who were not cautious of limiting themselves to get addicted and that was because they expected so much, reality kicked in and then they start chasing loss recovery.

Its easy to become rich over a long period of time but who wants to be a millionaire when they are in their 60s.  You can enjoy wealth much more when your younger, thats why a lot of people gamble.  But on the opposite end, there are mega wealthy people that gamble even though they are rich.  I suspect it is juts an adrenaline rush thing, there end goal is not actually the money.

It will only for the chosen one who can become a millionaire from gambling but for the other people, is only a big dream which they cannot achieve if they don't have luck. His ambition will ruin his life without any chance to get what he lost before. It will never give a good result unless he becomes addicting in gambling.

I have many gambling stories but today I share a short story with you. One day I was on the way to my home from casino. There I met a friend stand in the way. I asked him what you are doing here in midnight. He told me that I was going to home with a lot of money which I won in gambling. Some guys were chasing me because they know that I have big money in my pockets and robed me. Took all my money. Now I wonder what to do. I told him you can do nothing. Just go home.

Thee are many gambling stories out there, some good , some sad yet we still make new addicts every day. I don't think the sad stories alone will get future addicts to stop but rather the society must offer hope such that if I know I can earn say 50$ by washing plates for 48 hours I will rather make my 50$ that way and not through gambling.

In washing plates you are sure you will be getting 50$ but in gambling either you can make the same amount or lose out completely depending upon the luck and the game which you will bet on. People who have excess and lose out is fine but for needy it is quite bad.

We will make money through gambling only when we have enough luck, as you can see sometimes we may make higher amounts in order to start continuously gambling. Once they are making money they will start addicting to it.

We will make money through gambling only when we have enough luck

Since when you profit ONLY when you have luck? I can just martingale 10x and leave with profit...

By washing plates your income is confirmed and your mind is clear but in gambling you can even make thousand dollars in an hour but it is not guaranteed and nay lose your $50 in seconds. What verdict do you get from this scenario? When there is a risk the profit will be high and when there is no risk and the income is confirmed you will get less. Don’t fool yourself and don’t compare job with gambling.

That is the thing and that is the main reason I see those pursuing gambling at all cost are the ones looking for the easy means to make money and then not knowing there is more to life than just gambling.

Gambling can at least bring something huge but it is extremely rare and most of the people who have concentrated on that aspect mostly over the years, do not always get to have the best in life in the long run, as they get it ruined from addiction and in such condition to say the least, it is always a bad thing for anyone to be having a huge expectation from gambling.

Yes, that is great advice for your friend. In the end, he was losing a lot of money because other people know that he has that money. At least, he can save his life although he loses his money. Maybe in out there, many people got robbed like your friend because of winning gambling game and like you say, he cannot do anything. Next time, if he wants to play gambling, he needs to ask his friend to go with him so he can have someone that will walk at his home.

Yeah right, but most of those who choose  gambling and play with luck are people who mostly in need, they chooses this venue to try multiplying their money and most of the time ending it up losing as time passed and greediness will eat them up, a lots of stories has been shared here about this type
of failures and it didn't change anything, maybe for people who still have a good mindset, its far better to work to earned than wasting your time and
lose choosing gambling to make money.

That is some point there bro and I must say a lot of people that got addicted one way or the other found themselves trying to see how they can set up themselves for life by acquiring wealth from gambling with the little they have, but that is a very grave mistake a lot of them end up making at the end.

Addiction stories start from the point where the person decided to see something meaningful in gambling when it comes to making money and decided not to face the reality that comes with losing in gambling, and if such a person fail to admit to that reality, getting addicted becomes inevitable at the end. There are so many ways to earn, but because people keep looking for shortcuts to success, they always end up getting screwed in the process.

Luck is just a factor in gambling and not a guarantee for winning the game. My friends who are gambling adductors told me several times that they even lost very easy and simple games not in casinos but in sports betting. It is their luck and sometimes they won unbelievable games, it is also their luck but mostly they look the performance of the tram and then bet.

In my country gambling is strictly prohibited and no one is allowed to gamble. But still lots of gamble because they are addicted and cannot quit gambling. I want to tell you that I have spent some days in prison because I was caught by police due to gambling. They arrested me in gambling place because no casinos here and took the entire gambler including me and took in jail for few days. After that they released us on bail, but that was a bad experience for me.

This is really the tough time as winning from gambling itself is huge tough and after get getting robbed will hurt him. But quite sure that probably those guys would be inside the casino as they were aware you won the amount and would have chased or asked somebody else to follow you.

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.

Gambling addiction stories . in gambling addiction no one can stop you even of you don't have money you will find a way to have none and plate gambling but this is bad to your health yoi can get a sick because of gambling.

That is why we need to remember that we don't have to play gambling for a long time. Become addicting in gambling is too dangerous, we can get broke without having any money plus we don't have any chance to recover the money we used to play before. But maybe we could still play gambling to get fun with our friends, and of course, we need to know the limit of time and money we should use so we can prevent to lose all of the money.

In addition to the time limit needed to gamble, we must also be able to limit the capital we spend to gamble so it is not easy to just spend all the money we have to play gambling because there is always a sense of curiosity that is there to win the match

Gambling also allows for big profits, so if you're not prepared for it, then you don't deserve to big win, you should be prepared like having a strategy of how to bring the benefits that you get safely, because you know that there are many bad and greedy people in casino

Personally I knew gambling from crypocurrency especially bitcoin so I try to gamble on dice because of their amazing promo.
I'm also play money pot and it's very addicting from the first time to play.

Luckily I can control myself and even my friend warn me to stop playing because I'm on loss state!

Its easy to become rich over a long period of time but who wants to be a millionaire when they are in their 60s. 

Firstly, if it was so easy we would have a lot of rich old people, but this is not the case in most countries, although it can be so, to some degree, in the most developed countries. Secondly, it's only when you are young you think old people don't want to be rich. In my opinion, old people need money much more than anybody. Think of the meds they need to take on a daily basis.

You can enjoy wealth much more when your younger, thats why a lot of people gamble. 

People should gamble when they enjoy the process, not when they need more money. As it was said many times on this forum, it's a very bad idea to gamble in order to have profits.

But on the opposite end, there are mega wealthy people that gamble even though they are rich.  I suspect it is juts an adrenaline rush thing, there end goal is not actually the money.

You are right but only partially. Yes, many rich people gamble for the sake of the rush, but I think you've heard that no one can be rich enough to stop wanting more, or a very few people can anyway. So, even millionaires gamble in hopes of becoming billionaires.

For most part of it actually, if you can control yourself, which is usually what will determine if you end up an addict or not. A lot of people who gamble today actually tend to find that a whole lot hard to do.

Watch out the level at which some people put in too much emotion into gambling like their life depends on it, and then try to acquire some huge wealth through it which makes them most of the time to keep driving themselves so hard to the point that the eventually get addicted, and this is how I actually believe that addiction really starts.

I know gambling long before the crypto currency. I had experienced some problems at that time and had stopped for a while before crypto finally took me back to the world of gambling. Yes, the offers provided by gambling sites using crypto currency and the simplicity that we can get have brought me back to gambling even though my gambling activities are not as great as before.

I used to gamble everyday ,morning until dawn with my friends or neighbors, at first all I want was to enjoy myself but later on even how many times I loss still I keep on coming back hoping that I can win. I've been a iresponsible mother with my son and depend my responsibilities to my parents. I onced pawned my jewelries or valuable things just because of gambling that's how addicted I am in gambling now I am thankful that I can control my addiction. Yes, I still play but it is not like before I know my priorities and I do not want to risk my family just because of gambling.

Thats one of the greatest thing that might happen to every gambling addict,to have a chance of getting out from this vulnerability and find way of making life more valuable than being a gambling addict

Though i dont consider my self a gambling addict wayback,but i use to spend even my school allowance just to bet in our local bettings

This is the best story of every gambler, to be able to control their self and to be able to limit that addiction and eventually, that will fade a way slowly. Luckily, I don't have any addiction story because I know how to control myself, though of course I gamble but my purpose is not to make money but to have fun, mostly I go to carnivals and play some games their until I satisfied myself. This is just my life during holidays which mostly the carnivals are out in the street.

thats impossible if you dont have you own gambling addcition story  . even if we were kids we tend to hook on playing gambling because it is fun and trilling . the joy that we get cant is also unexplainable after we have  won even if it is only a small amounts of cash  .  

my own story is when im still young . i love to roam around on our place and i see alot of gambling games scaterring around the corner and of course i tried it because that is the latest trend back then on our place and gadgets arent really availble that time because they are expensive .  i got eventually hooked and addicted . it come to the point that i steal money from my parents  wallet  .  i also collect some plastic and iron so that i can sell it on junk shops just to get my hands on gambling again  .    the addiction only subsided after i went to grade school were i now value the cash  .

This is also a good thing that you are out as well because it seems you also had started early in gambling as during school times itself. Younger you start gambling more chances of addiction but you are not an addict which means you had a great control on yourself.

Every gambler has their first time gambling in their life, but the difference is one gambler can control themselves while the other gambler cannot do that. But every gambler will have the same experience in gambling which is they will get lose their money soon or later, and it's only a matter of time before they realize. And the lucky gambler is a person who can limit his money, having self-control, know when the time to stop gamble.

Yes gambling addiction we don't do anything against that once you are addicted to gambling then you will not able to get out of from there it is common but gambling gives a lot of people to lots of profits in short period of time that's why gambling will run like bro still now

I was betting a lot in football games. I remember myself waking up early and sleeping late at night because I was looking for matches that fit my preferences and make my bet. Apart from losing my sleep, I was nervous all day and I hadn't the mood to do anything else but looking at bet365 and bet. I managed to make a profit from my initial investment but once I all-in I lost everything. I felt really sad but now I see it as a good sign because I removed this way of living immediately.

From starting we just play for earning or hobby. But slowly it's become a kind of addiction. Once a player won few bettings then usually he will encourage to play more. Then if he losed in few game then he will try to recover his fund. So he will play continue due to intention of recover fund. By this way it will become a addiction. After that situation it's very difficult to leave from gamble. Our greedy nature is responsible for this addiction. It's not only on gamble. Same is on trading also. But gamble is more dangerous addiction from trading. Gambler could not easily leave play. But I don't think it's impossible. Those are in too much loss in gamble they should leave it and find another way to earn. It will make you happy in my opinion.

Being an addict in gambling is really hard because you cannot control yourself and you are end up bankrupt. Good thing i have managed to stop gambling in a month.

It's true being an addict in gambling is really hard because all you ever think is greed in money. How do you able to stop it in a month?

A lot of people had been easily get addicted in gambling by just a few games, it can be the cause of winning streak that you have start to become greedy and also having a losing streak that makes you want to recover all of your losses. I became an addict in gambling because every time i got home from work i always go at the casino just to play poker and baccarat, so i ended up losing all of my funds that my wife got so mad at me. I managed to stop my gambling addiction is by the help of my wife that she made me realized that i could waste all of life when i play gambling too much. I also started to working out at the gym and bond with my family, so i could forgot about gambling. Everyone can really play gambling just to have limitations and a self-control, so you don't ended up addicted and bankrupt.

Addiction in gambling happens when the user expects big earning in a short time period with small investment. This happens with bitcoin, but the same won't be successful everytime. This way I too have spend expecting big return and the end result will be loss. With gambling loss can't be minimized as like we do with trading, with this it is always good to spend wisely.

The addictive potential is the hope that makes us think that we can make big wins. Added on top are the tempting advertisements of jackpots and big wins. We all have an inner child who is devoid of logic and reasoning and it gets stimulated by these things making us play that game more. If anybody who is a gambler would have used their logic properly they would have stopped gambling.

Trading also has risks involved. Nothing that we see here is devoid of risk. What you need to do is associate yourself with those things that you are comfortable with. Try different types of trading but dont go for binary options because that is again nothing more than gambling.

The first and foremost thing that I face every time in gambling if I had lost my gambling at the day it was sleep less for me so I cannot be comfortably think still I am do the next gambling so the audition will continuously happen every time when you are se mistake so the things that to be circulating every time it will get disorder like this that's why I need to be more careful every time.

Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

 I am not use addicted to gambling but when I am hearing this type of stories it will always been thinking of how gambling will affect everyone life but the addition is always came to every person but how much he will addicted to it is the matter of taking the serious action so if you are in the beginning stage you will easily get out from this and make your life easier but when you are confused addicted to gambling the solution is very tough.

I really like your logic when it comes to gambling. I like that inner child thing and the addictive potential hope that we have. Many gamblers will be affected in this statement if they read your post. Including me lol.

Surprised never shared my story here. I have had good and bad streaks here and there, but there was one when I gave up gambling. Basically it was in dice where I had a loss on a 50% bet 32 times in a row. I was making small bets and I had a bankroll of 6 btc back in 2014. Came down to 2, and didn't go any further. Had it automated through a bot.

2 btc was about the size of my last bet on martingale and I decided to go with sportsbetting instead. I put it all on Brazil to win because it was sort of a sure shot during worldcup versus Mexico. And the game had ended in a draw getting me down to 0. Luckily the sportsbet had a cash back kind of scheme and I got 0.05 btc back. I was so pissed at my luck that I ended up opening dice again and was about to make a few bets at 99% chance to win. Mistakenly I put my first bet on a 1% chance(i.e at 99x multiplier by mistake) and it showed I won.

I was just about to make more bets until I looked at my balance. It was close to 5 btc, and I froze. I couldn't believe what I saw. By making a wrong bet, I had gotten back almost all my btc. Amazed and surprised, I withdrew it all and sort of gave up gambling after that. But got back in last year and have likely lost more amount than back then. But thats another story to tell

So as not to become addicted to gambling, it is better not to play them and not to go to the casino, and also not to place sports bets.
For me, cryptocurrency replaced gambling games, namely daily trading on stock exchanges. This is another excitement.

at that time I was invited by a friend to gamble the ball, because I like the ball, so I just went along to enliven the tournament event. then proceed to card games, to lottery numbers. my money runs out and even I have to be forced into debt. painful addiction. the only way that stopped me was the crypto market, when I started entering this industry I started leaving the gambling game.

The cryptocurrency market is also a kind of gambling. Therefore, if you have a dependency, it is better not to engage in cryptocurrency, but to devote time to treatment.

thats true . here in on crypto everything was simmilar to gambling but the actual gambling is more enjoyable and more thrilling , that is the reason why crypto players still play gamble not just for the sake of enjoyment but also for the sake of earning a profit  .

all of us had a gambling story . mine was not really good but i can say that im not addicted to gambling  . i only play rarely but when i play i play big  . its either i win big or loose big  . i accept both  .

That's the worst way someone could get addicted to something, by a friend who recommended him to go with him and gamble together. I personally gamble a lot, better said mostly I am betting but I would never recommend someone to do it because I know it could lead to drastic changes in that person's life
