Sometimes enough is enough

[Oasisman]

If you are a true degenerate, than you are definitely familiar with the concept of “burning out” when it comes to gambling. We’ve all been there before, but for some of us the experiences are much more eye opening than for others. This is a tale about a time where wagered amounts that were way beyond what anyone would consider an “acceptable” gambling budget based on the amount of money I had at the time. Nevertheless, I will begin by telling you that sometimes you are just forced to go to a casino because that’s where your friends just so happen to be meeting up.

This is a story of one of those nights. This is a tale of a complete and utter degenerate gambling night, one in which there was lots of beer, coffee, comp meals, and visits to the ATM involved.

There is a saying in my local language that says "that show me your friends and i will show you your character" and i believe that it goes perfectly with what you are implying because if you friends are always at the casino gambling then it will eventually become your place of socializing and whiles you all meet there, you are going to end up gambling there because that's what you go there to do.

Even if the primary intention is  not gamble but the meeting place suggest to gamble they will all end up gambling. I know the habit of meeting or hanging around to the most convenient place that your pack usually hang around, and it will always entice everyone to engage what the place have offer the customers. Specially in gambling where self-control is the main issue. Sometimes having friends in the casino is a financial draining moment of your life, most specially if youre not married lol.

Absolutely. If you are a gambling addict trying to kick your addiction, then why on Earth would you agree to meet friends in a casino? You wouldn't invite a recovering alcoholic to a bar - why is this any different?

Exactly we all have heard of this statement too, a man is known by the company he keeps. And literally this is exactly right in case of gambling. When your friends ask you to company them in casino and you aren’t actually playing. But you may be get impressed by the way house is letting them play and then you start trying your own luck. First wins and then a row of defeats.

$25 for an uber ride? $50 round trip? Shocked How much do they charge per mile/kilometer? Huh Maybe I've been living under a rock but that sounds crazy to me.

Cool story. I didn't realize you lived in vegas or near to a place where gambling is legal enough to be savvy @ house games. Is it based on a true story or personal experience? Also how has MMA betting been going for you? I have not seen you post in any of the recent UFC threads for awhile. I've never been to Vegas but it could be cool to visit someday to gamble on MMA e

The story is real and from a guest writer. Ive been to vegas, im mostly playing craps and bac in London. Ive been doing good in German Soccer and MMA you can follow my picks at https://t.me/degensignals I will try to get back to posting in the MMA threads here too.

You also love the NFL, I reckon? I am a casual football fan and I would like to listen to more of your game analysis and why you make your bets every week in the NFL betting thread. Thank you.

Definitely one heck of a night. I haven’t experienced that type of gambling where you would go drunk and just spend a lot of money just to get back and even selling your brand new phone just to get it back. I agree with the conclusion at the end of the story where you should just go home when you feel tilted and never force it.

This is what the addiction or the greediness do to you and you understand it later when the you have lost it all. If you have lose some money it is fine but don't play another to recover it because in that case you will be playing till you recover it and which may not happen always.

Humans are greedy and this is natural but don’t let this greed start eating you up. Most of the cases with gamblers, they start invading in this game so deep that their comeback is somehow hard and stiff. They can’t let theory mind come out of this trauma. So don’t be like it and start thinking about your families and relatives and blood relations who are caring about you.

Drunk + pissed + losing streak + ATM is not a good combination when you are in a casino. The chance of losing a lot of money is very high since you are drunk, your decision making is messed up and that is on top of the losing streak. To control the amount of money you spend in gambling, you just bring only the amount of money you plan to spend. Leave the ATM card at home. If it's possible go to the casino using a cab, much better, there are loan sharks waiting around the casino who accepts cars as collateral for those who wants to win back their money.

The chance of losing a lot of money is very high since you are drunk, your decision making is messed up.

This is only applies to gambling games that requires decision making such as poker. But games like dice games, and roulette, this doesn't apply. Sober or not, you have the same chances of winning which is pretty low. With the same logic, being sober and going to the casino will make you millions.

To control the amount of money you spend in gambling, you just bring only the amount of money you plan to spend.

How about writing cheques?

Leave the ATM card at home.

As well as jewelry like earrings, rings, and watches. Bring just yourself.

If it's possible go to the casino using a cab, much better, there are loan sharks waiting around the casino who accepts cars as collateral for those who wants to win back their money.

I really wouldn't go to the casino using a cab because what if you win instead? Will you really risk being in a car with a stranger while holding a lot of money. I really think that if you are at that point that you're ready to sell your car just to continue gambling, you're far deep down the gambling rabbit hole. None of these advice will help since you're ready to sell something that is very useful to you and is a necessity in your daily life. But I guess we never really know what can happen in the casino that'll push you to your limits.

This is the worst combinations you'd want to be in before going to or when in a casino. For sure, you're going to lose and being drunk also makes the situation a whole lot worse because you could even bet what you don't even have. Very dangerous and highly not recommended. Good eye opener.

yeah it would be better if he didnt got tilted about his loss, since he is drunk he wouldn't be able to control himself good thing he put a limit on his atm, overall he was up after everything what happen but that was really dangerous.

In gambling controlling our selves is very important because we will lose everything if we didn’t. Try to set up everything especially about your money you need to do it in order to not lose everything.

Wow it was a good read. I liked the emotions in the story. You really want the author to succeed as he's so miserable the whole time.
I have to say that I would've given up after the blackjack part. Maybe he should quit BJ for good and play roulette. He seems to be doing much better there.
Morale of the story? Don't drink and bet! I hope he remembered to wipe the phone before he threw it into that kiosk.

To avoid drinking while gambling should be one of the first rules for any gambler whether you are a professional or you are looking to have some fun, why do you think that physical casinos gives free drinks to the players that are betting a lot of money regardless if they are winning or losing? Because they want you to bet in a more reckless way and to bet more money since it is known that alcohol takes away inhibitions from people, another important thing is to never carry anything valuable with you like credit cards or jewelry since you could try to use them to keep playing or it could simply be stolen from you if you are not careful.

This story didn't begin well. Maybe no spot for a car was a good sign not to go there. The real mistake imo was to go to the atm when you lost everything you planned to lose. The day was just really unlucky with all those Jacks, zeros and nines you mentioned. Even if you are a good player, you can't make sure such things don't ruin the game.
You got extremely lucky in the end, though, and your article looks as if you learned the lesson. Good for you that you can analyze what's happening and managed to return the money eventually, while still regretting the overall experience.

Wow, that's quite a story! I've made some new conclusions in relation to gambling. First: you shouldn't be superstitious when your money is on, that what really can make you lose money. Once I was crazy about number 3 so I did everything for three times in dice (don't mean just betting, a whole set of bets with particular numbers) hoping that for the third time I'll win. It didn't last for long, however made me lose some money. Second: you should never ever go beyond planned expenditure amounts for a day. Selling phone - sounds crazy, but not as crazy as a fact that gamblers can go as far as selling their apartments and borrowing money. And the last but not least: if you are hazardous and going out for a play you need to hire an authorised delegate to control your expenses.

What you said about being superstitious regarding the number 3, that's called gamblers fallacy.
You start believing that you're owed a win on that number, while in reality it's entirely possible that that number never hits when you're playing.

Never try to see patterns in the numbers that are hit on the board. That really messes a lot of people up.

Dice is probably fair so mixing it with your own superstition belief with leave you with nothing on your play wallet.  

There are some cases tho that your intuition is right and the next roll you get is correct.
I still believe that winning a gamble is a mixture of good luck and math.

That is an example of a bad case of gambling addiction. NO one in the right would even think of selling their apartment just to have the money to gamble with. Those are the cases were the gambler needs psychological intervention. Borrowing money on the other hand is much more common than you think. I've seen people borrowing money directly in a gambling site chatbox, asking/begging for someone to lend them some money.

that is why it is  better to gamble in sports betting where winning is small but in long term ROI you will be in good profit. I have lost lot of my wealth when was playing casino and dice but thank god I joined sports betting and almost recovered my loss

How the income is profitable in the long run when you sportsBet? You literally are playing a predictable dice game and of course your knowledge of a particular sports matter but there are equal risks. I'm glad you have recovered your losses but you were playing with the equal amount of risks as you did while playing dice.

[Symphonized]

Well for those cases you really needed a sort of exterior help for controlling yourself

Sports betting is still gambling in the end, and if you mismanage your bets there is still the chance of losing your money, but it is definitely different from traditional gambling where probabilities are precalculated and the games have built in house edge so you're guaranteed to lose in the long run. As with all gambling, betting has lots of risk involved, but correct management of funds and not gambling what you can't afford to lose could net you a profit. I personally like to invest my crypto and lend for long-term gains as it's safer than betting, however.

Good read mate. And this is really happening out there to many people who got buddies that are degenerate gamblers as well. But as we all know, if we'll gonna learn something from life, that is you need to learn things first by your OWN experience for you to really ponder what's the lesson that you really need to learn. You need to experience utter defeat and loss to value your money more. Thanks for sharing the very important experience that you have as a gambler and hopefully, many will get something out of it.
