Gambling Addiction Stories!

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
