Gambling - Eating your Brain and Money

[AjithBtc]

With gambling when we miss our limit automatically our funds get eaten up. In my experience it is truly a hard task to stay within limits. Myself always used to set a limit, but I have never stopped within that. Even today I set a limit of 0.01 btc, when lost I was unable to quit. Further continued and lost 0.01btc again. This happens, even I've mentioned in several threads we need to be within limits.

When we are losing in gambling, it doesn't mean we can continue to play the game because it will make us become a stress to see how much money we lose. That will make us feel that we have a big problem because of losing the money and that will make our brain will full of the stress, and when we see the amount of the money, it will add more stress to us because we could think how we are going to recover that loss.

You are talking about the psychological scenario of a gambler. Normally people think it is good to treat gambling as a way of pure entertainment but not everyone think like that and many people try to make money at gambling which often leads them to loss and the urge to recover the losses make them more prone towards loss which is a dangerous situation for gamblers. So yeah, in such a case, you can say that gambling is equivalent to eating up your brain.

That refers to emotional battle including each person's psychological aspects in handling gambling. If you had enough to bet for gambling, then if you're not using your brain wisely; you're capable of being dominated by gambling desires. It will control you eventually, so you became addicted to fun games on gambling without knowing that you're overpowered. This will control you, and in the long run it will become a disease which cannot be cured easily because most stories like those crypto casino addicts tend to be loss much in gambling rather than spending money for their families.

You broke means you gamble over your own limit, all gambler will say similar thing once they lost over their own limit. This is why it is very important for us to gamble what we can afford to lose only. Nothing you can do now except admit your own mistake and move on. Don't even think to recover again because you may get on deeper loses.

I agree, I guess this happens to almost all gamblers in an effort to get back the losses, I think they don't intend to gamble more than what they have they're just trying to recover the losses but still didn't have the luck instead they lose more. I think it is better to rest for a while from gambling instead of pushing in getting back those losses because you might lose again even more.

Yes, the psychological scenario will give an effect to the gambler itself whether they can win or they are losing the money. But indirectly, when they see other people can win in one game, they will think that they can get win too. And that will make us have a big passion for continuing the game, and if we cannot win, then we will be stress. That will be their problem if they cannot treat gambling as a way to have fun and in the end, they will only lose more and more money, and they can become addicted.

It's very hard to stop yourself from further gambling when you have already lost a lot of money. Having a rest is a good decision but it's very hard to convince yourself to do it.

[ryzaadit]

Using "FREE MONEY" will save you with this kind of problem, we will not think about how much money we already lose if using "FREE MONEY". You should know don't use your financial for a gamble, because if you lost you will be a trouble position. Just like investing, I only used my money already earn at online to investing at crypto, if i losing capital from failed trading i will just fine.

I also consider gambling as way of getting money because we can have fun from anything but don’t lose the opportunity to game as gambling has so many chances for us, it only eat your mind if you only think about profit and worry about it, no this is not good you will have to gamble with relaxed mind and keep it in your mind that every profit has risk of lose but we will have to make it only profit for us by playing well.

True indeed. What is worst here is that when we lose quite big amount of money we panic and as we panic we lose concentration and focus and whether it is bad luck or incident we lose all the more and makes our brain in turmoil and makes us crazy. We feel depress and irritable and we could not think well. It is really dangerous to reach this kind of situation.

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.  

That's the mistake that every user does while they're new to the gambling. They don't analyze about the good and the negative effects. From the post it is clear that he have accompanied his friend, which is good. At the same time he should be clear about the games as well the winning probabilities and losing chances. Just because you won the first game can't expect the same to happen longer.

I agree, this is mostly the mistakes of gamblers, they tend to bet higher after winning the first game, they think it will be a winning streak but in the end it turns out to be a losing streak and they lose more that what they won. Also as a newbie it would be best if they bet with small amount or maybe observe first how the game goes instead on betting right away even without knowing how the game works. Gambling is not a joke that you can just bet and bet and rely on luck because that would mean you'll lose more that what you can afford.

There are so many people who have been going to through this phase due to the gambling. If you show your consistency in gambling then you must be suffering from heavy loss. Every gambler starts gambling with small funds and after winning some games they collect some amount of funds they going to think they become a good gambler and then they will make this thing to their full-time job.

And according to the time, they will start to lose the amount and after a certain time later they will start to suffer from losses, debts. So don't be much active in gambling. When you play continuously then you must lose your bets. So keep yourself stay away from the gambling as much as you keep long.

Gambling is not only eating your brain and money but it also eats your time. And I think that this is the most important factor that gamblers should considered.
I realized that I had spent a lot of time that would be useful for doing other things that would give me the possibility of acquiring and gaining knowledge.

You are right in that no one should spend most of his/her free time on gambling. There are other things worthy of being engaged with, including studying. However, people that use gambling for recreational purposes can't abandon it completely. For some people it's the best way of relaxing, and they can do their main jobs better, and they can study better after spending some time gambling. Maybe it's a risky way of relaxing, but so are bungee jumping, rock climbing, skydiving and many others, not to mention drinking alcohol beverages and taking drugs.

People can't live without relaxation, but they should make sure that those activities are not eating their brain and money, not harming their health and are not hazardous to their lives.

I don’t think so I think it is much better to spend your time in gambling more than spending in other activities, those people who don’t gamble more they think about some bad activities so better spend your time in gambling it makes our mind useful and sharp, when you gamble we use our mind to get the idea of the opponent so this way we are polishing our skills of gambling.

Everyone has different perspectives but may I not agree with your opinion about gambling. Why would do you think spending most of the time in gambling will make our mind sharp, I think this is a false perspective because of your stay most of the time in gambling then you must lose big amount gambling and after that, you never stop this thing then the higher probability to face the heavy debts. Consistency in gambling makes you more addicted to gambling to play more. So instead of playing regularly, you have to play It when you just want to try your luck without expecting more. This kind of mentality never makes you addicted to gambling.

There are so many stories like this, and going to gambling for the first time is a real test of one's character, you cannot survive it if you have a very weak character and do not have strong family support and relationship, you will end up miserable and in poverty if you cannot battle this demon.

Someone will never understand the gambling sectors, someone always like spreading negativity and someone positivity. In my viewpoints sports betting can be beneficial if done correctly, rest of the only time waste. Finally, It's up to you how you manage it. A true gambler always makes a profit, that's very sure.

I think there is always two sides to everything. When it comes to gambling, it is a $530 billion industry on one side and has produce billionaires who have made names in Poker and other games. On the other hand, the money that is won by one individual in gambling is the money lost by another without any prospect of recovery. So the loss is often interpreted in negative light by many people but this is what happens. This is actually good for economy from a capitalist point of view.

I always set a monetary limit before I walk into a casino. It's usually $20-$50 maximum. Whether I win or lose, I don't spend more than that, otherwise I'll be very angry with myself.

  You are doing well it will save your money in case of lose but if you are confident and you know you are earning it is good if you increase your amount because it will give you benefit later, I like gambling because I know it saves my time instead of wasting my time in playing other useless games I prefer gambling and it increases my income every day.

[nikola22]

gambling should be for fun and when it begins eating your brain and money maybe it's time to visit a doctor if you can't stop youself?

[kotajikikox]

Correct gambling eating brain and money if the gambler did not how control itself its become addecting. Some of people get in that situstion because they trest gambling as source of income and become a greedy.
