Life, gambling and trials.

[ShowOff]

I believe that limiting money generated from gambling to family needs is considered a religious belief or for some other reason. But everyone has the right to use his money for whatever he wants even if the money comes from gambling. The same thing, maybe in my opinion I don't use the money from gambling for family purposes, this is only for personal consumption and even now none of my family member know that I often gamble.

Some time ago, I heard that gambling site also use a small part of their profits for charity. I don't think this is restricted, but we also have the right to determine it, right?

When I gamble with cryptocurrencies, the wins just become part of my portfolio. I look at it as a positive outcome of an investment. Better than investing my own money to buy and invest in crypto. Since I am an occasional sports gambler, I no longer have a separate pot I use just for gambling. Therefore, any fiat wins/losses are just money that is in my wallet or not. I use it for whatever needs I have at that specific time.

I don't have much stories in gambling rather than my epic fail bets.
So I would just answer OP's question
I use my gambling winning on myself I would sometimes go out and buy some new stuff or just keep it on my wallet.
But most of the time I would buy some foods with my profit.

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.

You must be very brave to have bet 5 LTC to win 80 LTC. I don't know if you accumulated it by betting multiple times but you're lucky. You are not greedy, you seems to see gambling as an entertainment and would have a more gambling control after this experience of yours.
Personally, I would better withdraw more than 60% of my winnings and bet with the rest. And I don't mind spending it with friends or anything.

I think these terms can also be interconnected if you are not careful. Illegal gambling could then be associated with all three.

When it comes to buying behavior then we know that we do have different wants and needs in life and its none of someones business on how
we gonna spend up our money yet its our winning after all.Some might think that it isnt really that ethical to buy some food but how the hell
it is connected into that manner?

As long you dont gamble in illegal places then those winnings are considered clean or shall we say it is others money that you had won.
Well this is gambling and its just right that neither you do lose or win its up to your luck and spending those
winning will be on your own discretion.

[Yamifoud]

When I win, I never save it nor I will still be playing but instead, I use to buy some food and stuff for the family. Though not all of my winning spends on those things at a time, usually I'd never gamble a few days. Because I also learn from the past that I over-spend my winning and lose it in just the same day. Now I realize that luck never stays for long but it only passes you by in a very short period of time.

Gambling for me is just an activity to pass the time, most of the games that I play like poker and Chinese poker is played with my friends, there is no big bets but enough to keep the game and at the same time the fun running, I do sometimes participate in online gambling but it has been a long time since I had played. Most of the wins with friends are used to buy food when we are hanging out and the original amount is kept while online gambling wins are used in variety, one time I used my wins to donate to a charity and many other things, you can see why I do not play online that much, the money that I get does not come back to my pockets.

I'd love to see people betting with gambling with just enough amount of money, because the fun and relaxing time is there. Unlike those individuals with huge money expectations, their desires became more habitual everytime they'll tend to loss all the money they had without even thinking about possible outcomes. Online gambling can be managed, but without having self control? I think you'll be the slave of it.

Good for you if you already figure it out, there are still lots of gamblers who believes that luck will continue to bring them more winnings,
in the end they'll lose it back together with their bankroll. Best to enjoy your money if you already have satisfying earnings, profits still
being count as profit how big or small it is.

Gambling earnings if you use it to other things that will allow you to enjoy or use it as part of your investment is much better than
keep playing and lose it back with more regrets along the way.

What you are saying is right. Without self-control, he will no longer need a long time to lose all of the money because he will try to bet with a big-money if he loses before. He thinks that using more money to bet can give him more chances to win, but he is wrong. The more money he uses to bet will give him a chance to lose that money in a short time because gambling will not give him a big opportunity to win. Gambling will also not allow him to recover his losses. We need to realize the fact that gambling is only for fun and kills free time without having the intention to make money from gambling.

Good that you are spending the winnings in most functional way and that is for foods of our family because more than anything they are important to us.

I remember way back when i am still active gambler,once i come to Win a big amount,I make sure that i will thread my family somewhere that they will desire.

You can't blame them for doing so. I mean, if for example you are on a winning streak, will you really stop playing all of a sudden? I don't think so. Because you are on the momentum already and it's hard to resist because you will think the possible profits beyond. However, too much greed is not healthy as well. So for a gambler like us, the improtant thing we should do always is set a goal. Once you accumulated the desired profit you want in a particular period of time then stop. Be disciplined enough to take care your profits .

Luck is indeed giving us winning but the problem is how long are they staying beside us?sometimes we are over estimating the Luck that even if this already left we continue to bet hoping that the winning  streak will back.

Gambling earnings if you use it to other things that will allow you to enjoy or use it as part of your investment is much better than
keep playing and lose it back with more regrets along the way.

There is a post i've read recently about each time He get ;lucky and wins in gambling 30% of the  amount will go to His crypto investment things that is now running in my head,Im sure i will do the same these coming days lol.

[rhomelmabini]

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

Easy, I decide first whether I let the winnings stay on my account or should I withdraw them all or just withdraw the capital I put in. Next (or maybe last as I'm not that of an ovethinker) if I have decided it all downs come to business first for the family and personal purposes but the priority of course are the bills to be paid. Moreover, I really put some of it to save on to something like hodling it or buy other alts that has potential to grow.

Yeah, being a sports bettor myself too, I actually withdraw my won amount and convert in into fiat because I buy crypto with fiat and I try to maintain a balance between how much I am buying BTC and how much I am selling since my salary paycheck are not huge and I have to ensure I am not just buying too much crypto and gambling away all of it.

I don't have much stories in gambling rather than my epic fail bets.
So I would just answer OP's question

Don't have a big story either but if I ever win big I have plans, I will be buying a house if the win is big enough because rent is really killing my salary and rather than having lavish life I would rather want to solidify my current life.

OP and I have somehow a similarity on how we started gambling. Way back before when I was introduced to computers, there was already a game concerned about gambling. The name of the game is Casino Island, it was fun and consists of gambling games such as poker and blackjack. That is when I learned how to gamble even without real money. I was so addicted as I see that gambling will provide me easy money since blackjack seems to be easy. It was fun until I really tried it in real life that it will really be based on your luck and you might be bankrupted if you don't know how to control yourself as you have unlimited funds in games compared to real life. What I want to share is that games and real gambling are completely different, what we just need to learn in games are the mechanics but the strategies will come from our real life experience in physical or online casinos.

[fullhdpixel]

For me, if i get the opportunity to win big on gambling; it will be the best moment for me. Biggest earners in the gambling world are the ones who have huge capital to gambling with; as huge funds help you to reduce risk and gamble more on possibilities and not probabilities.

You haven't won anything big yet? That is really unfortunate because although I am not a high roller but I have myself won some good amounts in past because I often roll at high odds and I remember I hit once.

What I did with my winnings? Well a sad story because I got greedy and although I withdrew my money but I slowly deposited everything back to the casino and lost it there.

peraventure that the gambling money is not much; its a good fund to enjoy the beach and have some beer lol

Not always because I have seen guys hitting 5 BTC jackpots and with that amount you can buy a car and have a royal lifestyle at least for an year if not more.

[3meek]

Recently, I won a little on football bets. Of course, I left money with a small reserve for further bets. The rest of the winnings were taken out of the account for life needs. For example I bought a VPN subscription for a few years (thanks to the Black Friday it was several times cheaper than usual).... The rest of the winnings I spent on regular purchases for family needs....
I can give advice - if you do not tell your wife that you win at the bets, your conscience will not torment you!

[qwertyup23]

I remember when I used to accompany my brother whenever he gambles, prior to visiting the casino, he always tells me to stop him after we reached a certain goal of winnings from his games. He also told me that I should stop him with all my might in order for him not to gamble away further the winnings he accumulated. You know what happened next? Despite stopping him with force, he lost all of his winnings and the money he saved from his monthly savings.

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

In connection with the story that I mentioned above, there were times that my brother always treats me food. He usually gambles around the months of October to November so the money that he wins will be used to buy Christmas gifts for the whole family. Also, my brother will just message me at night and we would eat some late dinner snacks from his gambling money.

This "gambling money" he told me, he sees it as a form of 'dirty money' that should be spent quickly.
