Gambling Addiction Stories!

[BlueStackz]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
