My experience is gambling

[ShowOff]

Before I got to know bitcoin and this discussion forum I was familiar with gambling and had even played it for several years. My gambling activity is uncertain because to be honest the income I get is only to meet my daily needs. I dont gamble every day because I know I can spend a lot of money there without a guaranteed win. From my experience since getting to know crypto and gambling forum, I admit that I am too excited to keep winning and winning no matter how much money I spend there. Gambling has made me forget what money is and even seem worthless because I am so desperate for more.

Gambling is about money, but it gives me pleasure in anything I can win. Recording win and losses is very insignificant and completely useless. I have tried all kinds of trick and tips to increase win and chances, but none of them have been able to bring me a big win. Self-control is important and here I know that my main mistake in gambling is due to "money" purposes. I should have realized that if I made gambling a place to have fun then I didnt have to be excited about winning.

I know that there are a lot of people who have gone through the same fate as me in gambling and are even sadder. Tell me that if its gambling for money then you will only regret it in the end but if you make it a way to get pleasure then you can control your desires and your money over it.

Gambling should never ever be about making money. May be, investment in bankroll is something you could opt for.

Indeed. Gambling is initially a recreational activity and should be taken as the way it was intended for.
Although I agree that making investments with the bankroll of casinos could be really an option.
Nevertheless, discipline to set and follow limitations when gambling is necessary to prevent addiction.

You are definitely experimenting some problems with your gambling but it is never too late to try to change and overcome it, the first thing is to stop to gamble immediately, it is hard but it must be done, the next thing is to try to not do this alone, for the most part people need to rely on the strength of their loved one to overcome their problems and gambling compulsions follow the same pattern, and finally if things are too out of control for you then you need to get professional help so that person can monitor your progress.

I applaud you for sharing your experiences because in that way maybe you could help someone else to avoid to go through the same experiences you went through.

Gambling is really just for entertainment but majority of people do treat it on other way around where they do seek out for making income or do pushes for them to win big amounts
without even thinking that it can really give out the opposite outcome.This is mainly the common behavior of majority and thats why gambling industry is so a profitable business due
to this kind of reason where people cant really just resist to play even if they are already on the losing side.Humans are too emotional and do forget on important matters when they
do already experienced up some pleasure and when that emotion comes out then everything would be changed.

most of those who chase their winning chances are finding themselves to be in deep trouble. we read it many times, over and over, that gamblers should not treat gambling as source of their income and yet many people here are relying on gambling for their needs.
 as for me, ive lost and won in gambling just like many others. but right now, just using extra extra funds for this as we are still in challenging times. and we need to keep our stash safe, in case we need it.

Of course, when we gamble, we always wanted to win some money, well there are players that says they play to have some fun, but I do believed, that in order to have fun enjoyment, you have to win. I also been gambling even prior to crypto, and I will say that I have a lot of ups and downs that really affected me financially. But I have matured from the years of playing, I just stick to sportsbet now but sometimes I do play my favourite game of slots, but that's just it.

[GreatArkansas]

I also remember what my friend told me before when he is with me when we gambling and it is my first time to win,
"Don't be happy too much when you are winning, brace yourself if you will lose in the future. It's just happy when you are winning."
My friend really got a point here.
For OP, I really agree on what you told about the self control, this kind of attitude MUST have or posses for every people who are in gambling or even planning to start or try gambling.

So you have a job but you don't have an extra money to risk in gambling, well, if you don't gamble that is the right decision as it's hard to be foolish that we might sacrifice our food just for gambling, you say it's only enough for your daily needs, gambling is already a wants, should not be the priority.

I dont gamble every day because I know I can spend a lot of money there without a guaranteed win.

Let's admit that we are gambling to win money, it's just similar to saying we gamble for money or for fun as our aim is really to win.
However, it's always up to us if we will go beyond our limit in the sense that we will be more ambitious to consider gambling as a serious thing, well, professional gamblers are doing that, they are making a living in gambling and that was really inspiring, however, not everyone of us can do that, so that should be carefully evaluated and as what I have said, you don't gamble when you are even struggling to earn money fro your daily needs.

We will all seek to win in gambling, at my early stage in gambling, I used to make a lot of experiment also and actually it cost me a lot that it has come to the point that I even borrow money and regretted that I started gambling. There's a lot of fun gambling games online, so if you don't know how to evaluate your chances, you might fall for the fun without knowing that your chances of winning is very small and your chance to win is just through luck.

All of my experienced makes me a matured gambler and I just have to be thankful and accepted it that it happen in my past as I make good decisions now.
I always follow the principle on not to gamble what you can't afford to lose, as that would give me a peace of mind even if I lose in gambling.

Gambling is about money,

Its about entertainment mostly, thats the primary purpose and people like the money element to add risk and reward.   I think theres some self deception to believe it will always be profitable, its a game that pays or can pay and people like the feeling of the payout.   Its a perfectly justified activity on the basis of similarly drinking or smoking or various costs to taking part in any game or leisure, most games we dont expect to profit from it but just enjoy taking part.   I think thats a more reasonable take,  I hope to come out even and theres always the chance I will make something and I have done on occasions but its a nice bonus that feels kinda amazing at the time for me personally.

I was hooked in gambling because at first I am earning good profits and I thought that I could keep up with it and use that money to help my family because to me, helping them is what matters. I've been gambling as a student but please don't think that I am spending huge money because, to be honest, I don't have enough money to start with. It is just about 5000php or more likely $90 to $110.

In our province, that is huge money and as time goes by, I met my partner in life and that is when it hits me. I felt the pain, me being so useless at that time and gambling is tearing me down because I thought I am doing this for them but I am just doing it for myself. Some therapies which I don't actually tell if it is and with the support of my partner and family I did get out. I am always saying this but my experience is not that deep compared to the real gambling addiction still I am so thankful to have my loving and caring family and partner and I knew this is not something to underestimate. People are actually struggling because of it but usually, it just starts as entertainment, that I could confirm.

People who are approaching gambling for the first time has a lot of expectations they come to gambling because they were inspired by their friends who brag about their winning but not their losses, some gamblers are like that, bragging their winning but never mentioning their losses.

So we approach gambling thinking that we can do better if your friends can why not you, until you realized that it's not really that easy and your expectation is very much different from reality and you become to question if you can really make money in gambling, but unfortunately you lost a lot, everyone here has this kind of experience it's a learning process that makes us think that gambling is only for entertainment.

Gambling is about money,

Depend on your intention why you gamble,because if it is like you?then sure it is for money but for others this is for fun ,Yeah they are losing money but those losses are only payment for the fun and happiness they got when they are playing.

I know that there are a lot of people who have gone through the same fate as me in gambling and are even sadder. Tell me that if its gambling for money then you will only regret it in the end but if you make it a way to get pleasure then you can control your desires and your money over it.

This is what we need to learn before trying to gamble,Learn to control your desire because in the end of the day this will lead you to losses.

I fit definitely into the social category given I'll only go to a live Casino for a night out / dinner & entertainment etc.  True there are those who make a living out of gambling, but they aren't the norm.  You really need to sit down and firstly work out what the various "types" of gamblers are before you start labeling them as dependent gamblers or even in my case lite gamblers much-less anything in between.

[shoreno]

no no it isnt about money  . you can play gambling in a simple way without involvement of money  . its normal that you will feel happy when you win and feel sad when you loose  . you said any win can give you pleasure ? so that means even a small win ? woah thats nice . your only few of the gamblers that can appreciate small win so why down your self ?  didnt you know that me i cant feel the pleasure on small win  but i dont also like to loose big either .

[Genemind]

Well everyone feels the same in gambling especially if you started to get hooked on it. The amount of money you win or lose is insignificant once you get hooked on it. You'll start craving and looking for it and all that matters is you play and satisfy your cravings.

I had come to the point were I spent almost my whole day gambling and felt I wasted it by the end of the day where I was first winning and ended up with a loss.

[mu_enrico]

Gambling has made me forget what money is and even seem worthless because I am so desperate for more.

Yes, especially after a big win. Sometimes I would think, "why I work so hard and not just gamble to earn the same/more money," then burn the winning money to purchase useless stuff.

That's why hard-earned money will last longer than "dirty" money.

I should have realized that if I made gambling a place to have fun then I didnt have to be excited about winning.

You will still be excited about winning, but the change in mindset about gambling is an entertainment and not a money-making machine, will help you decrease your playing time.

Who goes out to the movie theatre every day?! Conversely, many people do work every day.

For me the essence in gambling is to have fun. If I just play for money, I would always be under pressure whenever I lose it because then I will have to play to recover those loses. Instead, I chose to have a pleasure in the game of gambling and anything which is winning amount is something extra for me and helps me in different ways. Greed is what drive many to keep gambling which is wrong as per me.

Sometimes ai play gambling because I am bored and I don:t have something to do or I play gambling because I am in pain or I want to unwind. For me playing gambling is just for fun only and it is not a job. I don't play gambling most of the time co'z I am avoiding the addiction. I don't want to be an addict co'z I have a lot of things to do and to think and I don't wanna waste my whole time just for playing.
