I've lost

[LogitechMouse]

I'm sorry to hear that. Gambling addiction is a horrible thing to deal with, and takes a tremendous amount of will power to break free from. You've lost a lot of money, but you still have the most important and valuable thing.... Your life and health. Try to find something to replace gambling with. It could be a hobby or a Church group. Stay strong and keep moving forward in your life. Your past doesn't equal your future.

I agree that is why I don't spend too much time in gambling. I don't want to get addicted into it and at the same time, I don't want to spend too much money on it. If you got addicted into gambling, it will be hard for you to remove it and it can affect your life too. Life with your family and your own lifestyle. Its better if you spend your time to do some recreational activities or just travel or spend time with your family.

sad storry but its the game ...
never invest so much that very day can feel horrible XD
And to triple money on casinos is a huge dream


regards

A dream that happens to others but not for most. OP just wanted to express his feelings and has shared his situation. I've known people that are undergoing the same process that they just want to let go of what they feel.

Actually only few succeeded in this kind of dream as gambling won’t give any assurance and luck is the only friend

It's good that he has expressed his emotion and let it go outside because if it stays inside him for a long time, that's more dangerous.

Maybe he cannot Cary anymore lol,her heart can’t take any burden as this was a huge loss for a small period of time that someone can not afford to.
I would rather drink wine and got drunk for a week after this kind of problem

That's what I actually want to say by saying 'others'.

Someone who lost a lot of money will definitely feel bad and the emotion will be mixed. At least he has expressed it already and wherever the guy is, let's hope that he's doing good and gradually overcoming this bad experience.

Greedness has been the more reason why people do lose in gambling and investments. It is a very bad spirit and very few can control it. I have been trading and gambling and two things that has made me to make loses are greed and impatience. If you can get control over these two you will succeed in both gambling and trading!

His case is way different from greediness.
It's more like being impatient, if he had waited enough for some years, he would have leap the gain.
This same impatient is what drove some people to trading too.
We should learn to drop the notion of purposely tripling the btc we have through either gambling or trading.
It use tyo work before but not anymore.

In my opinion, there is a very close relationship between impatience and greed. A greedy person is an impatient person and an impatient gambler is also greed if looked at closely. What happened to waiting for bitcoin and if at all he wasn’t sure of how soon the leap would occur, why withdraw all the money, why couldn’t he try other businesses or even trading? So on a closer look, and I don’t mean to be disrespectful to the OP, I understand what he is going through at the moment but I need to be honest, he was a little bit greedy.

That is now in the past and all he needs now is how to recover. My little advise is here, this is another good time to buy bitcoin, try and be patient to hold this time till the bull run occurs again and you will definitely get back all you have lost.

[GatotKaca]

I've lost big. Over the last two or three years, I've lost 60K in total. It was almost my entire savings.
It started out with a large investment in bitcoin when the price was about 13K.
When the price dropped to below 4K, I lost all hope after waiting forever and gambled it on bitcoin gambling sites trying to triple it up, just to make my money back.
I lost that and a lot more. Never imagined it turning out this way. Especially after the price went back up.
I don't have a lot of close people to turn to nowadays. It's hard to get through each day feeling horrible. Just needed to reach out somewhere.
Sorry if this isn't the place.

You may not know crypto more, so you regret the decision you made. you need to know that crypto is fluctuating, where prices can change significantly at any time without you knowing. if you think investing in crypto can make you wealthy quickly that's a big mistake, if you don't know the technology of this digital world.

I'm sorry for your loss bro and yes, you can share your feelings and emotions here because we are a community and we must help out each other get away from such situations and start living back a normal life. Sometimes, our decisions don't go well as we choose to, destiny has chosen something different then from what we decide to go for and it turns out to be our nightmare.

I've found something that might be of help!

https://www.helpguide.org/articles/addictions/gambling-addiction-and-problem-gambling.htm

Quoting one paragraph here,
"Learn to relieve unpleasant feelings in healthier ways. Do you gamble when you’re lonely or bored? Or after a stressful day at work or following an argument with your spouse? Gambling may be a way to self-soothe unpleasant emotions, unwind, or socialize. But there are healthier and more effective ways of managing your moods and relieving boredom, such as exercising, spending time with friends who don’t gamble, taking up new hobbies, or practicing relaxation techniques."

Nice article mate and all have mentioned was true.i believe that we felt superior and strong while playing since in this we can conquer our feeling and change it to happy thinking but not until we start to lose from there we start losing our goal to enjoy and covered with eagerness to win

By this I believe that we must not gamble whenever we have troubles in mind because the truth is it won’t help instead it will only add problems and may result to worsted outcome so let’s just face the problem before playing for safer and enjoyable venture

I'm sorry to hear that. Gambling addiction is a horrible thing to deal with, and takes a tremendous amount of will power to break free from. You've lost a lot of money, but you still have the most important and valuable thing.... Your life and health. Try to find something to replace gambling with. It could be a hobby or a Church group. Stay strong and keep moving forward in your life. Your past doesn't equal your future.

I agree that is why I don't spend too much time in gambling. I don't want to get addicted into it and at the same time, I don't want to spend too much money on it.

Its better if you spend your time to do some recreational activities or just travel or spend time with your family.

There are stories behind those people who are addicted in gambling, some of them just don't know anymore what their life is all about, they are all lonely and doesn't want to go out because they feel like if they will, the society will just judge them and throw harsh words on them. They have plenty of time spending it on nothing, that is why maybe gambling is their only escape, but it is not.

Gambling makes them feel alive, but the truth is they are only wasting their time and money on it, but for them, there are nothing to lose anymore, so why bother, it is broad and complicated, but for me, gambling is not really worth it.

I guess that is what happens to him, so he regrets making that decision. But he can prevent to make the same mistake now or in the future by remembering that in gambling, we are hard to win any games without having luck. He will difficult to recover his money, and if he still pushes himself to play another game, I am sure that he will get another loss and that will make him more regret. So please stop for a while from gambling, search for a job and try to make money from that job so you can move on from your losses.

The article link you posted does have some good idea but he can't stop someone who's gambling addicted from gambling cause what someone who gambling addict need is therapist help. However, the OP the situation is not gambling addict but not having the require knowledge about gambling and crypto investment.

Sunk cost fallacy is the danger here, when you have lost and think you are somehow owed back the winnings by some misgiven thought of justice.   Unfortunately the world owes us nothing as we are all lucky to be here in the first place, gratitude of past fortune does better then expectation of anything more; or thats my take anyway.

https://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/how-the-sunk-cost-fallacy-makes-you-act-stupid.html

This is why the martingales strategy is so dangerous and should equate to a swear word for how poorly it plays out.     Probability theory has some play in outcomes but still its best kept in the books of maths then attempted by most people for a reasonable outcome in gambling.   
   If money is lost the only thing to be gained is in the realisation of the lesson of how it was lost, not much compensation but if there something learnt then at least its something.   Learning nothing can mean repeating the mistake and the loss, in the end this can greatly outweight the first loss so the lesson is cheap if learnt early.   I've lived that mistake, thats all I can pass on as worth considering.

He really needs help from a professional,  if he has a weak motivation and heart he would have lost his mind just thinking all his lost, a professional help will allow him to set up activities and guidelines together with his family on how to overcome those losses it's actually
 a mindset.

Right, from what i see OP is not addicted to gambling. Maybe he is only wrong to make decision. But gamble to earn money back is something that actually not required to do. And people must know if gambling will have more risk than make an investment. And when we tell people about it, there will be no more someone that lose all their money when want to try to get their capital back.

Don't forget your family or your loved ones since in my experience, they are the ones that helped me from taking myself out of gambling addiction, not entirely out but they really helped me. Desperation can really lead you to addiction that is why we should prioritize our goals so we will not be going to places we should not be.

Losing isn't an end for everything, it's just a lessons that we need to learn. Don't be disappointed when you fail on gambling, because having serious attachment with it was stressful to us. What's important is we should have strong faith and determinations to face and battle emotions in order to overcome another loss.

To enjoy gambling, a gambler needs to know how to manage himself in a losing situation as that's normally most of our experience in our journey as a gambler. It's normal to lose as gamblers loses more than they wins while playing in a casino, that's the norms in gambling since in overall it's the casinos that are making profit from us gamblers and we are the reason of their success.

Now, if we don't learn from our mistakes, that would cost us a lot of money since we will continue to do the same mistakes over and over and due to frustration, that will make us loss our control and risk the money that should not be allocated for gambling purposes. I am a gambler and I have a lot of losing experience too but I'm happy that in the long run I learn that gambling as a source of income is not for everyone, but for entertainment, definitely for everyone.

Surely all things come in our life to make us learn things from it. If you had lose once i am sure you must  learnt so much from your mistakes so never repeat and gain experience. Not all gamblers are perfect if you want to spend good time in gambling never be greedy and make sure you don’t gamble with fresh mentality.

If he wants to go to a professional, then I think his problem will be solved, and he can realize that what his doing is not right so he can start to fix his life to be better. But that will depend on him because not all people will realize and want to visit a professional to solve the problem and mostly, people will don't care about that. People will still play gambling without thinking about their life and the family, and that will only make their life will ruin soon or later. He needs to aware of that and tries to stay away from gambling for the first thing that he needs to do now. And he can start to build some activities or think about the other passion that he might have.

Loss is one of the attachment in gambling and is inevitable to we the gamblers. Whenever we gamble to a lost, we learn how hard to win and eventually when we win, we learn how to be patients.

What causes many gamblers to lost and regret their action is, their inability to control greed, am a gambler who  gamble to win and run to gamble another day. But many will gamble and win, and still continue until they loose everything they have gain before, greediness is a major course to lost.

If you are really deeping into this business then you need to have this courage to face and accept loses that happened to you, it's hard in a way that it will be  full of regrets once you encounter very huge  loses or when you almost have a good run but failed to quit and losses it back, we do have different experienced where we really needed to overcome in order to continue both to be entertain or to earned decent money from this industry.
