Gambling - Eating your Brain and Money

[wuvdoll]

It is obvious that op was gambling to win money not to have fun and win if possible.
I guess if you make gambling a career, it ruins your life and turn you into an addict.

But, it is proven that you will get addicted even you will be gambling to have fun and entertainment. Your purpose of gambling will not be a concern to get addicted because gambling just need you to stay for a relatively more time with it to make you a gambling addict. Only through addiction it will eat our brain and money. If you stay away from gambling or you are not regular to gambling then you can stay safer without getting ruined your life.

Addiction will be the result of continuous gambling and it will be possible for all the gamblers regardless of why they are gambling. You can see, fun seeking gamblers also getting addicted and unable to resist themselves to stay away from gambling even after reaching their daily limits.

this can be the proof that chasing your losses is not good at all and it should be avoided.

That will be a big mistake for gamblers to chase their losses even if they know that they are already losses in a big amount. I hope that you know the mistake so you didn't make the same mistake and it's better to avoid playing gambling for a while because I am sure that you still get the pain of your lose. Right now, you need to take a rest and search for the other activities, or you can try to search for a job to cover your daily needs.

The OP have probably learned from his mistake but if he dont apply a basic strategy which will make him know the time to stop gambling at the right time he'll definitely continue to gamble in other to recover his losses and I'm saying this because I have been there before.

I hope so. He cannot stay too long in gambling especially if he has lost in many times and I think it's better for him to get a rest for a while because playing gambling needs the stability of emotion. Many things he needs to do in gambling and he should prevent himself not to become addicted to gambling especially if his purposes are only for chasing the money and I guess that he will only get losing more money.

Chasing after money is always something bad for every gambler because there wont be a way for such gambler to reason and it better for such person to quit for the day but if it the situation that have to do with emotion best thing such gambler can do is to take a break of about 15-20 minutes.

Having a break wont really be that bad but the results or feeling would really be just the same.If you are profiting already then its wise for you to quit but this is the hardest part
for a gambler to make. We know that we have still money on our pockets and it cant really be avoided to have the thing on mind that if we bet more we can still possibly get even more
which it ends for us to go back.

You're right about the profiting and feelings to be the same but the reason behind taking a break is for gambler to have a genuine thinking which will literally help him the right thing to do next maybe to continue, quit or the strategy which could help him win.

Gambling can eat your brain and money only if you have become addicted and haven't realized it yet. Your brain in this phase does not think of anything else except gambling. So you keep betting and losing money only at this stage as your brain does not think correctly. The only solution is to seek professional help at this stage.

You will think most out of your brain when you will experience a loss in gambling. You mind will constantly be making you feel sad about the money you lost in gambling. If the loss is big and it happen multiple times, it can make you sick even. You should realize this and be prepared for it. In case of winnings, your mind will be relaxed and happy and it will have good effect on your life too.

Gambling losing streak,

I’m into gambling for about months now, and in my first game I was able to generate profit enough to be happy, I continued for the rest of my 4 weeks of playing, sometimes its breakeven but I know its ok.

My friend invited me to play with him in casino this time, I have enough money to play for so I decided to say yes. Bad luck comes to me this time, at first my loss was about $500, so I know it is still fine and decided to continue, but the moment we stopped I think its too late now since I’ve already loss $3000, a very bad day for me. I’ve lost the money I’ve worked hard for.

This is an eye opener situation for me, and I’ve realized that gambling was slowly eating my brain and my money. Now I’m broke but still kickin, this can be the proof that chasing your losses is not good at all and it should be avoided. Have the same experience with me? Don’t hesitate to share and give some thoughts for those who are suffering from sitution like this.  

For us gamblers, we must know when to stop and when to continue on betting because even the game was really intensifying and you are into catching up what you have loss, we must need to compose ourselves to pause for a while and have a better luck on next time because playing gambling is a risk that is worth it if you know how to play in moderation. Chances of loosing a great amount of money is possible if you will not be contented of what you have achieved and still strive hard for it. There is no wrong on pushing through but better know when to give up before you loose everything in a glimpse of an eye. Make gambling a part of your leisure activities which I did into the online casino I have found that is convenient for me to play with plus I enjoy great bonus as their welcoming reward when I first did my deposit and it started to be fun and enjoyable playing with the varieties of games on it.

Too much  of something is really bad no matter what it is. In playing gambling, we must know that it is either win or loose can be associated on playing it so if you think you are already loosing too much, better stop for a while and better luck next time. If you are already winning better stop and be contented because we do not know if you will be that lucky the next game. Actually I am looking for another leisure activity and the online casino you were talking about seems interesting.

This is something that makes you quick and quick. The more you think the more you come up with new tricks and strategies. In addition, gambling requires you to have prior knowledge about the thing. If you do not have prior knowledge, you would never be able to make money by winning. There is completely zero probability for that. Hence, yes it is eating out your brain and money if you are not winning.

Many games in gambling are luck based games where if you are lucky you will win else you would lose out. Only few games like cards games, poker etc does require strategy which can decide the course of whether you will win or lose it.

Losing streak is a common things, I think all gamblers ever experienced about that, previously I was addicted to gambling, I can spend almost everyday gambling, playing poker, blackjack, baccarat and every game, its consuming all my time and all of my money, its an eye opener when I need to buy something but got nothing in my bank account, at that point I realise I need to change or I will be sleeping on the street, and no matter how experienced you are or how good you set your strategy, you wont win in long term, gambling is supposed for entertainment not the place you can make profit

Yes, that's right, gambling is a means to reach the level of entertainment. Gambling is not a game to make a lot of money. A lot of what happens now is when someone considers gambling as a means to get money, they are usually trapped in an addiction. don't let yourself experience this, think and instill in ourselves that gambling is just an entertainment !!!!

[joganuts]

Not actually. It won't eat your money if you are winning over lossing. It will eat your brain if you're not smart enough to know when to stop. I think the OP was negative because he's unfortunate to gambling. I hope his perspective can be altered.

I'm also thinking of that. How come you are able to keep off gambling eating your brain and money?

It's a matter of strategy. Just like playing a poker game, don't risk too much if you are not confident that your card would win. Always be positive and let the game be controlled no one but only you.

If a person play gambling regularly, I do not think that he will safe and will not become addicted in gambling.
May be some people whose reason of playing gambling is only to get fun and enjoyment. Their reason of playing gambling is not for making money, can prevent themselves from being addicted. Such people may have good control over their emotions, and that is the reason that  never try to exceed their limit and they can even quit gambling at any time.

If we are venturing into something that is high risk then we should limit the money we risk.
High risk venture needs proper analysis and thus you need to study what you are doing so you can make an effective strategy.
Poker is a good type of gambling, many has made fortune from it but they are smart, it's normal that there are losers and winners but as much
as possible, let's seek the winning side.

You are right, and he has a chance to become addicted to gambling if he does not realize to get out from the gambling site as soon as he can. But even if their reason of playing gambling is not because the money, their chance will wide open to get addicted because we know that the more they play, the more they will curious with the winning money, and it could attract them to become addicting to gambling.

As every thing which is much to the body will discomfort body so is gambling without strictness even if the reason why the gambler play games or bet on a gambling site was for fun but I would like to correct the OP saying because what ever man overdo such thing will sooner or later eat the man's brain.

So we agree that playing gambling doesn't need to take a long time. As long as we can play with fun, we can enjoy the game, it is enough for us to play and we could quit gambling in anytime we want. But it doesn't guarantee to us to not become addicting although we know the time to quit gambling. I hope we can manage our time in gambling and don't use bigger money for bets.

[Shinpako09]

Well, most gamblers experience what you've done and has been talk many times so there's nothing new with it. Some even losses more, effect is even worst but like you still kickin' and continue playing gambling. As long as you know your priority in life I guess it's fine even though lossing isn't fine.

[BitBustah]

Of course we could put our efforts to much more beneficial things for society.  This is one of the downfalls of games.  it can be video games, casino games, or sports it doesn't matter.  People will never quit playing games anyways so we might as well make it enjoyable.

[Polar91]

I don't think it's gambling who's eating your brain and money but it's your addiction that triggers too much loss more than you expect. Gambling wasn't made for negative reason. Although a lot of people gets miserable due to gambling, it's because of their addiction. The lack the discipline to themselves.
