Life, gambling and trials.

[YOSHIE]

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.

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

This always happen to me. When I win I transfer half or a portion to my personal wallet and continue playing with my remaining balance and when I lose it I will deposit the one that I deposit to my personal wallet and lose it then deposit again. In short I always lose in the end, maybe I'm not really good in handling losses at all. What I feel about it is that there's an urge of me that "I think I'm gonna win this time". I'm not sure if it's just me or other gamblers also experience this.

I'm a terrible gambler and an even worse loser. Every small win so far I've gambled again and then I've been depressed for a couple of weeks. I mean, I'd better get away from gambling altogether, but that's easier said than done.

[mirakal]

I don't win a lot of money, never in my life yet, my winnings are just a small amount that I could just spend easily when I go out with friends. I sometimes got serious in gambling but I still fail, I realized that winning is really hard, so I did not increase my exposure in gambling.

having fun but a bit serious too, that's what I do but with some strict amount of limitation.

So if I win, maybe in big jackpot, I don't know what would I do as I never have a plan about my winning.

[YOSHIE]

"I think I'm gonna win this time".

I also hope you will win and be lucky like other people who bet, you can and certainly win, the important thing is your confidence when betting.

Sometimes I also experience the same thing 'lose and win' however, I keep trying to get good results, why other people can and why I don't, strong motivation.

So, if you win at a gamble you play, say you win $ 1000, in a few rounds, have you ever given that money to your family back home.

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

I am using the money that I received from winning in gambling for these things:
1. I am using it for my capital in trading.
2. I save it and sometimes if put it in some of my investment.
3. Use it again as my capital in gambling.
4. Spend it for my needs and wants.

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.

Hmm, maybe you are thinking that gambling is not good so you can even use it for your family, well, in fact, it is not, there are some casino gambling that is licensed and is legal, don't feel that way because it shouldn't be. You won because of your skill and luck and nothing's wrong with that.

[NotATether]

My sports betting is strictly for entertainment purposes only. Everything I deposit in there stays there, unless a scenario happens when I win big odds, then I will withdraw some of the money for my own use.

So, if you win at a gamble you play, say you win $ 1000, in a few rounds, have you ever given that money to your family back home.

Well, they don't need my winning money actually (my wins are not big, I only wager a small amount of BTC per bet so I can only potentially win up to $50-$150 if I stack up a bunch of multi-bets)

[rodskee]

I have followed your venture in gambling as you are always Open for advises and opinion by Posting here from time to time so i think this thread is tribute to your struggle.

about my gambling winning?mostly it is for my own enjoyment and for my friends also,but of course i make sure that i bought something for my family since i am not a regular in gambling so my winnings are smaller compared to many.

But i think you must understand that even this wins are from gambling still consider this as risky and like investments we need to deal with this.

[kryptqnick]

My gambling story is quite alright. I've lost about $30 in a small set of stupid bets over a short period of time once, and it was sad for me, but it wasn't a huge deal. Then I won small sums over some time, and I believe I've now compensated that $30 loss. I don't really think about the money I spend on gambling as the money to win or to lose. It's money to be entertained, to experiment and to feel some emotions. So I'm well-prepared to lose it, but I'm also cheered up when I win. I think it's a healthy relationship with gambling because it involves fund management and doesn't lead to addiction.

I remember back when I won $1k, I just continue to play the next day and didn't think about giving the money to my family. But there was a time that I won consecutively, like 3 days and I just gadgets for my kids, camera's, iPad's, iPhones. So it's not money per se, but what they like or want during that time. So it's not a motivation for me to win money for my family. Of course we need to be positive when gambling, and not thinking of losing.

[YOSHIE]

I think of positive things in this thread, I read your experiences / ways of managing money from gambling, I am proud that you have positive motivation to use your gambling winnings.

There are several points that can be taken from all of you, the money from gambling can be used for things that can be profitable for me, l don't have to waste it elsewhere, this is what friends are for sharing ideas in managing gambling winning money.

So far I have never done gambling positively, for me my money is used in the wrong place and is wasted carelessly, maybe it's a good experience i'm asking about this situation.
I really thank you all.
In the future, perhaps, if I win in the gamble, I will use it accordingly.
Regards.

I have had a similar experience. It all started with fun and one unfortunate day, i kept on losing, I got so frustrated that I took on every balance on any account I had and kept on gambling recklessly. I was hoping to get back what I lost but I ended up losing 4K USD worth of coins that day. It was a couple of years ago and at that moment the sum was huge for me. I cried for days. Unable to believe what I've done, I went to anxiety, it destroyed my sleeping cycle and started having nightmares.
After I got together spending several days with my friends and family, I decided to never gamble again. But that promise was soon broken but I have strictly followed a budget and site based gambling habit which I've successfully followed till date. Sometimes there were urges to broke my limit. But at those time I remember those dark times and control myself. It was a lesson to my face.

Maybe because i Value also my Money that get risk in gambling thats why whenever i win good amount ,i segregate it rightfully and allocate part of it for the next gambling betting.in this way at least i can treasure the wins and not just for always loss.

There are several points that can be taken from all of you, the money from gambling can be used for things that can be profitable for me, l don't have to waste it elsewhere, this is what friends are for sharing ideas in managing gambling winning money.

absolutely mate because remember the capital you use in gambling is a hard earned money so why not use the win for things that will be valuable?

spend also for your family because the money did not come from illegal,you risk your money so enjoy the wins.

[Maslate]

In the future, perhaps, if I win in the gamble, I will use it accordingly.

You seemed like you are thinking of one time big time win here bro, am I correct?

Well, if that would happen to me that I win a big amount, I might fulfill my dreams like making my life financially free by investing in businesses in real life as I am a business which is aiming for a bigger capital to expand my business, however, I would not consider investing big in gambling to win big, I am more into lower amount risk with bigger winning if lucky, just like a lottery.

[iamsheikhadil]

Well, I have a hate-love relationship with betting or gambling activities.

I consider myself lucky, because once I was so addicted that I almost emptied my months of savings but just before I could, I stopped.

I have had fair deal of humiliation when I borrowed money from friends and families and failed to return them in time. I am not going to lie, I still have some problems like that. I wish, I was never addicted. I wish I never found gambling. I would have saved a lot. Well, but now atleast I'm more mature in approach towards it

[Reid]

Thank you, Yoshie for creating this.
It may ease some of the burdens of the gamblers by telling their stories or reading from other stories.

It gave me a sad time before when I keep on losing in Dice. Of course, I did it in Yolodice.
I never thought it would come to that point that I would lose since I had a good start.
Didn't even told my wife about it. The only good part about it was it's my secret stash. (Just in case the budget goes south.)
After that, I learned my lesson.
I still gamble but not going too far into losing everything.
I rest when I lose some and comes back tomorrow with a new thrill to play.
"Stress on thinking about how much you lose will make you lose more."
My own motto now.

Then you gat to consult a psychiatrist for better ways to ease out from gambling becasue this calling isn't for your types, as i assume. Anybody or a gambler who can't have some level of self control while gambling shouldn't be a part of this industry , this will worsen your health status if not dealt with now. Depression or be depressed when at loss in gambling shouldn't be what we joke with, or something we should allow to reign in us, because it's dangerous to humans, is a potential express to committing suicide. Please stop and exit gambling, bikonu.

[Casdinyard]

You won't believe but I managed to win 80 LTC by having 5 LTC but I became too greedy and only cashed out only 50 LTC If i'm not mistaken I think I played a blackjack.

Some situations are even worse. From winning huge amount, they end up with nothing because of greed. That's also included on the risk of gambling, it is not only the game of luck which is the gambler's enemy but also greed and frustration because it might yield to addiction if things will not be reprimanded. In such case, gamblers should have limits of losses and limits of winnings in order to be in full control of this game. Losing is more certain and the gambler's task is to somewhat not lose that much. I've been in such situation before, good thing my friends guided me to the right way of being in this activity.

[Bekuciwu9]

I always try to treat myself with something with the money i won and the i bet with the rest.Worst is to just give everything back to casino, so thats why it is important to by yourself something.It doesnt have to be big thing, but at least something.

[Stalker22]

That's not bad at all! 50 LTC out of 5 LTC's initial investment is still 10x gain. If I were you, I'd probably gamble everything!
