Life, gambling and trials.

[TedMosby]

I am not a good gambler. I've never won big money from gambling since I only bet a small amount of money.
however, I got money from betting site affiliation which is huge for me. Maybe marketing is my stronger point rather than gambling.
I've collected more than $10K from doing nothing in gambling in 2012-2013.
I am glad that I am not addicted to gambling. I still can manage myself from gambling.
So, I spent that money to buy gadgets, a motorcycle, etc. I gave some to my parents too, because I think it's not money from my gambling activity, but I got it by promoting a website. So, I think it's fine 
I didn't have financial planning at that time, so the only thing left from that money is my motorcycle.

Actually, it is not me if going to a gambling site and everything about gambling. The reason why I got into the gambling world is that the minimal requirements when I should post on the gambling board in this forum. maybe this is for connection, but it is connected for me. from that seems that started enjoying the discussion and also information and updates about gambling. So many gambling sites are there. And see what happened, just tried a moment following other activities in gambling in a certain site and I lost.
And it can be a very precious lesson for us. Never only follow others when gambling, because if you know nothing and you get into that gambling, you are likely only give free money to the house, except we are a big luck person.

I see some gamblers can't win on the gambling games, but they can make good money from the affiliate. That still money for us because even if we spent some money on the games and losing the money, we can still make another money from the other way. But that will not help us save that money if we still use the money to gamble because we will lose that money, and the chance to win will not be too big.

If we can have many referrals under us and spend a lot of money, that will be a bonus for us because sometimes, the money from the referrals can be bigger than the win money that we won.

Gambling is something unique experience which should be really fun but all the time we are doing it wrong by messing it with our greed so we should control the greed to experience it. My gambling experience is something kind of mixed even though I am aware that gambling is not a way to make money sometimes I will go for it and mostly it will backfire and remind me that I have to keep myself shut and control the bet amount.

When money is involved, greediness most of the time comes next . What I'm trying to say is people are tend to be greedy when they are winning money especially in gambling. Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment only and not treated as a way to gain money in a quick way.

Lucky for me that when I started gambling, I know how to control myself already and I know my limitations into how much do I need to spend whenever I gamble. I know already that whenever I put money on the site, that money will never come back to me again as if my mind was saying that you will lose all of it in the end . I don't know if other gamblers are like me but that is what I'm doing to limit myself from spending more.

Same experience here. I came also into gambling learning from the people ahead of me losing a lot of money due to excessive gambling or being greedy. Others had been into depth debts where they need to sell their assets like car, motorcycle and even properties like lot inherited from their parents. Despite huge money they get from their salary after all being addicted to gambling status still remain into where they need to work hard or earn hard for a living. If only those money where being bet smartly not taking risk in the hopes of high returns then I guess they could have much now more than what they had. This is all I learn so I need to be more careful when I am gambling. I have to limit my loss and if I win then I need also to take it home rather than spending it again for gambling.

Many factors, because people bet in gambling, exist for pleasure and exist solely for life etc.
Gambling, winning and losing revolve around time, what every gambling addict experiences, there are some problems that arise sometimes being happy, sometimes dealing with the law, and sometimes quarrels in the household.
It can all happen, if you are not professional in doing it and are not careful.

This topic is just for fun, tell a little about what you experienced while you were gambling, just to exchange opinions and bad and good things that you have experienced while playing in gambling.

My story in gambling.
In the beginning I was involved in gambling, at first it was just for entertainment, gradually became addicted, but I was still able to control myself, sometimes I win and lose, so far I have experienced something about myself "gambling money is hot". It's very easy I waste money from gambling, I don't count what i see i buy and my friends buy as much as i want, but i never give money from gambling to my family, i worry, I don't know why, maybe I think that gambling money should not be confused with my family, let them eat it from their own dryness or hard work, that's my story in brief.

So, what do you guys do with the gambling money you get when you win the bet.

If gambling is one of our habit or vices, well of course expect the loss we can face on it. Because as a player our main reason only why
get into this industry is to win only nothing else, even We know to ourselves that losing is the one most often happen for each gamblers in the platform of gambling and this is the trials we face most of the time. 

[Salauddin1994]

Gambling is not a test of every human life gambling is not possible without experience it leads people to good positions on the other hand it leads them to bad positions gambling addiction becomes a serious problem when it becomes a source of unhappiness in the personal family and daily life of gamblers. Gambling is a very old and common form of leisure in most countries many people lose control of their lives when they gamble and this behavior leads to problems throughout their lives by giving up all the important activities of life they just look for opportunities to gamble and immerse their lives in gambling. Many people lose money and can't give up gambling despite the dangers if the amount of damage is high it is better to stop the game.

My perception about gambling money is that it is just a free money expended on pleasure and other things that satisfy my desires nothing else obviously money earned from gambling is not that much for investment purposes because I gambled with the amount of money I can afford to lose such that I am not expecting a huge returns from gambling I am earning some little bucks to socialize and enjoy myself with it.
I also avoided being a gambling addict in a bid to earn big and embark on investment purpose from the earnings because I know the consequences of  taking such action after reading many touching stories of gambling addicts who became bankrupt or even committed suicide.

And just enjoy the amount you Got than Looking for much higher that will lead for your total losing.

I'm just an average gambler but I learned about gambling at an early age since most people in my family are gamblers. I usually lose my temper and do stupid things when gambling g that is why I leared how to control my self since I know my habits when gambling. It is either I push my luck too much when winning or chase my losses when losing, so the result is always pretty bad.

It's good thing that you are aware of your bad behavior most of the users here doesn't see it on themselves and they are not aware of it and so it's hard for them to distinguish what is wrong and what is need to be change.

Gambling affiliation earning is till gambling money lol. You got it by promoting a "gambling website". Those sites pay you from others gambling money. I don't know why people are being so "weird" about gambling money. What's wrong with that? You bet money for fun, you win and you get your reward. It is not like you stole the money from someone or earned it illegally.
Why don't you continue with affiliation marketing? You seem to be doing good.

[Astvile]

I first got into gambling because of curiosity and interest.
I started gambling below legal age, and I regret that when I was like 15-16 I learn how to gamble in sports games specially basketball and esports games, I can say that I'm pretty much addicted back in those days. Spending all my allowance on gambling thankfully I hit my changing point when I learn how to invest money instead of just straight up gambling it. Now I just gamble some small amount and just some extra money that I have I don't risk my money that is reserved for trading and investments anymore.

So, what do you guys do with the gambling money you get when you win the bet.

Most of the time I just straight out cashing out my entire funds from a specific site that I won and just deposit all the money from my gambling win to my trading account. If I have won big amount I split the profit for trading and more gambling for different site, but if I only win a decent amount I just full on deposit it on my trading account.

Not all of the gamblers are like you. Most of them are people who took gambling as a living that makes them even poorer, instead of them making a living, it is the gambling site that makes a living to them. The mistake of the people who are addicted in gambling is that they insisted to gamble their remaining funds on their wallet since they could have fun while playing and earning, until the situation screwed them up.

That's why the more they lose, they more they become committed to gambling because they need to take it all back whatever happens or else they are gonna starve to death.

I know how it hard to control yourself when it comes to gambling. I know it because i've witnessed how my mom used to quit on this game. Well she used to play a real poker game, money involved, time consuming sometimes their game last up to dawn. Now that i am the one who were again engaged in gambling i see to it that i may never spent my whole day gambling. I balanced my time by my daily routine and spending my leisure time in gambling. And yes i am losing my bets and winning also but sadly i get lose as much as i win.

[Chrystora123]

Throughout my life, gambling has given me both a sweet and a bad experience.  I was devastated by my gambling addiction and was also aware of how sincere my parents felt to me..  "Gambling is very entertaining when you are the controller"

snip..

I like your principle that will not feed your family from gambling money.  gambling money is hot (not a secret anymore), you feed your family with it so there will likely be problems in the future..

[abhiseshakana]

It would be great if we could win a lot of money from gambling because some of that can be used to buy cool stuff or for something fun. Meanwhile, the rest can still be used for gambling again. For me, gambling is just for fun and I was aware of the possibility that I was betting on a loss, so I don't want to waste that much money on it, and I will stop gambling when the loss limit has been reached.

When playing gambling I always have thoughts "Gambling will become a problem if we start to get addicted and no longer stop doing it", therefore when I feel it is no longer fun and emotions start to erratic when I lose, then I'll immediately take a break.

I have a different perspective on it. but, I agree that the money from gambling affiliation gathered from the gambling activities.
I made a review and explanation about gambling sites, so I didn't gamble at that point.

I used this analogy, CMIIW.
A and B confronted with legal action. A hire lawyer Y, and B hire lawyer Z.
there will be a guilty one on this case.
when the judge decides that B is on the guilty side, will lawyer Z be sued for supporting a guilty person?

same as when I got money from gambling sites, and I buy something at a store.
is it mean they got the gambling money?

personally, I don't have any problem using that money, even if I got it from winning a bet. some people have an issue with it due to religious prohibition. maybe they feel ashamed by feeding their family with gambling money. also, gambling is illegal in my country.

I've tried to continue to do the same thing, however, it didn't go well.
Maybe what I did in the past just a 1 hit wonder.

If you become too greedy that you have used all your winnings to gamble again then end up losing it, you won't enjoy the fulfillment of winning. It's like you just won for nothing because you were not able to use it in other things, you have just lost it in gambling. That's why whenever I won, even it's just a small amount of money, I always try to use it in different things. It's good to know how to manage your winnings in gambling so that you can enjoy and appreciate what you have won.

Greed is the main reason why those people always end up losing after a major win and you can't really tell if you can stop playing when you are at their position because some atmosphere will push you to play even more after you win a lot. I think the mindset of gamblers has changed a lot because of that, they rarely get some decent income from gambling all they get is lost every time they play more.

It's normal for us to be greedy sometimes especially when we won on gambling since we are feeling lucky but luck does stay for so long. Sometimes that luck can turn into a stone because we keep expecting that our luck will continue and it will give us more. It's not easy, but I think we should learn to be contented with our winnings because, without contentment, we can lose everything.

wining and then loosing it again feels that you didnt win at all . winning small amount but withdrawing and spending it succesfuly in valueable items is more worth it than winning big amount but the money will not be withdrawn or itl be withdrawn but itl be deposited again few moments later .

 life , gambling and trials . three different words with different meanings but these three words can be connected as one . that is when you have a life thats full of trials you will find love in gambling .
