You won today, but then you will lose often

[fiulpro]

Hello to all! Another topic about casinos and games. I started playing at THIS CASINO quite often. At the very beginning I thought I would just play in the evening, but one evening turned into a constant game during the day. On the first deposit, I was lucky and I took out a little, it was x3 of my deposit and I was happy. Recently, I just started making stupid deposits and trying to win something and I understand that this is self-deception, but I cannot stop and make more and more deposits. I decided to make the 1st level of VIP, but for this I need to make a turnover of 10k dollars, but I am a player with low stakes and this is difficult for me to do. You seem to understand everything that you will lose, but you go to play again. How to get rid of gambling addiction?

[mod note: removed referral link]

Well start by understanding the fact that " this is all in your head"
If you do think that you are investing in Gambling a lot and you are not winning and ultimately you are loosing a considerable amount then :
1. Contact Gamcare
2. Suspend your account
3. If not possible then : Play for less
4. Play and Practice Games involving skills like Poker and black Jack. Use card counting and always remember the big hands.
Well you would never control anything without your own mindset so I do think going to companies and psychologists is futile. Always remember that there are sites which would initially give new users some credit and some slag so that they continue playing. When you know their mindset you can always outwit them.
Best of luck.

There are quite a lot of comments to stop gambling addiction in the gambling board, lmao. Of course, most gamblers will always lose in the long run, but they can win in the short run, and enjoy the game.

OP case, however, the greed made him do a mistake. The chance of winning is slim, and if he plays again, the chance is he will lose. Gambling isn't about making money, but a lifestyle. The enjoyment from the game is great, and if you control it properly, you can play for years without breaking your bank.

You know, drinking is bad if you overdo it, the taste of hangover is terribly unpleasant, but if the amount just right, you can have a good sleep.

Yes he's , don't be greedy and enjoy the game , play for less if you do want to play but don't indulge so much in the same !

Everything that do excess will always end up on something bad but if you do it on a controlled manner or doesnt really go beyond the limits then you would be still safe.

People do commonly end up losing in gambling because they do really aim for more without minding if they should secure out those profits and enjoy the game or simply call it a day

but instead they do go further more which would really be ending up on losing those winnings back again into the house because being lucky is just temporary or doesnt last long.
Odds would be always be that high.

It is only matter of control that you need to have it, once you know it then nothing can stop you because the action is in your hand when to put a play or pause to it. The problem is that greediness  overtakes rust of the things and then you want to make easy considering you will always win. Some wins and rest of them loses in the end.

Most of the time greediness will overtake the person because of the hype around him when he is playing which will be the cause of his ultimate loss no doubt about that. If a person only knows that he will gonna lose everything by doing such things, he would have not to go to that place and stop himself from getting one step ahead of the door. Because after he lost that money he has, it will continue like flowing water and only drought can stop it.

The problem that often occurs for most gamblers is because they don't realize that greed is what drove them to loss. Therefore I agree that
the most important thing in playing gambling is how to control our greed. Because this is what triggers a loss initially to spend all the capital
you have, only to get a win when playing gambling.

It is hard to realize greeds, especially when you can enjoy the game and win for some rounds because our mind will tempt us to play some more rounds. Greeds are what we need to eliminate or control because they can ruin our day in just one or two rounds. Maybe playing with a calm can reduce the tension that comes to us, especially if we win on some rounds.
Oh, do not forget to limit the money you used in gambling, not lose all of the money.

Isn't that always? I mean, ngl, if we always won, we would never grow, which also means that whatever we're actually winning from or achieving from it, is basically the same as the rest of the achievements we got earlier on (or maybe even below it). The difference though is that the concept here in gambling is solely based on luck. You really have no control over it, even with a large enough amount of bankroll, you'd still lose as much as a regular person would.

Not to mention that since it's based on "luck" and not skill, it's easily influenced by factors such as emotions. The existence of ideas such as I can still win, I can still make a comeback is what makes gamblers lose their minds, losing more money in the process. If it was based on skill, then they'd honestly just give up instead of wasting more money tbh.

But with unlimited bankroll we can actually win if we follow a martingale strategy. I agree that there is a lot of luck involved in gambling, but also skill. The more experienced we are the better we adapt to our gambling outcomes. Managing emotions is key for success, which usually comes easier to us the longer we gamble. I still remember how devastated I felt during my first big blow ups. However now I know that the money can always be won again, its best to remain calm. As long as we don't lose borrowed money we will be fine.

A martingale strategy can be profitable, but it's very risky as well. The fact that you are doubling your stake money can create a pit you will have a hard time to get out of.

I don't know if you saw my two threads My Football Gambling System: A Betting Experiment and Betting Experiment #2: Chasing the Draw, but I was experimenting with martingale strategies. Although both experiments would have been profitable if I had invested real money, if you take a closer look, you would notice there were instances where I was down hundreds of dollars before making a profit. Many gamblers don't have unlimited bankrolls (if they did, they wouldn't be gambling), and such a series of losses would probably make them cut their losses and give up.

Was it  skill-based games/competitions you bet on, or luck-based ones ?
I think you should be more careful if you are depending on luck rather than skills.  When it's luck, bet with little amount you can afford to risk, and this kind of betting should be occasional. You could gradually raise your bets when you start becoming profitable and skillful. ..otherwise your bets should be with little amount you can afford to risk. It's important not to get too attached to your bet as an inexperienced bettor .And you likely not get too attached if aren't gambling in bets or taking big betting risks

Thank you for being reminded regarding the money we use for gambling, sometimes we don't limit the amount of money that will be used
for gambling. In order not to experience financial problems due to gambling, apart from controlling greed, limiting the amount of money to be
used for gambling should also be done. Because if it is not restricted we can accidentally use the money for our daily needs, and if this is
allowed we will experience financial difficulties. I myself only use 10% of my income to play gambling. So when my capital runs out, I will stop
playing gambling until I get a salary in the following month.

I can say that because in the past when I have 0.003 btc in my account, I do not stop playing gambling instead continue playing the other gambling games. It will not take too long to see that amount is gone as I losing all of 0.003 btc in a short time. Besides that, I have other experience in other coins, which lead to me losing the amount. That is what we must do regarding playing gambling because limiting the money will prevent us from using big money while getting the fun in the gambling games. Using 10% of your income is good, so you do not lose too much money, but you have a chance to win the game, although that is not too big.

It is mostly about your conception of life and what triggers your adrenaline and your dopamine. It is said that the worst thing that can happen to a gambling addict is actually winning in the first bets because some people just get a strong push from wins and do not feel much pain when loosing, thus they are easily trapped into playing beyond their initial intentions.

You have to be able to recognise that in yourself. In my case, I know that there are certain videogames to which I can easily play more time than I should to have a life balance so I just either avoid these or I tell someone to tell me to stop after, for example, and hour of play. You may be able to try that with gambling.

THIS CASINO = STAKE ?
I didn't understand which casino you were talking about because your referral link has been removed by a moderator, but since you were talking about VIP ranking I highly suspected you were talking about Stake actually. After reading answers to your post, it seems I was right.
Like you I must confess I'm currently chasing a VIP rank on Stake too. But unlike you I'm not at loss currently So it depends on players, you can make profits if you are a good gambler or a lucky one at least.

Yes, stake.com. It seems to me to put 10k for the first level is a lot. As I understand it, there will be a bonus of $ 100 per level.

Let me ask you a question , How do you sustain your gambling expenses and activities ? i mean do you have your own family? or you are still single that can manage to spend more funds than saving?

- If you have family , the best way to get rid of addiction is to ask your wife to help you out.

- If you have no family then try asking your parents to get over you.

Everything is fine, after writing the first post I stopped playing. Everything turned out to be very simple, I ran out of money, or rather, my money is blocked for deposits in the casino, but I'm too lazy to go to the exchanger. I am a bachelor, I decide everything myself.

I don't know on which games you are wagering but I don't think the 10k$ mark is very difficult to reach on Stake, it only represents 200 bets of 50$ each, an average gambler could achieve that in few weeks, and a big one in few days or even hours... If you are a small gambler you can achieve that in less than one year, even with a pretty small bankroll IMO. Then you will get rakebacks on all your wagers and bonuses.

That's good to know that you already handle your addiction and hopefully you commit on that because if you continue to gamble, it can totally ruin your life again.

We always have a bad days, so don't expect to win always and don't use the money you don't have. You have to decide and be the best version of yourself, learn from this mistakes and know that gambling is all about luck and not a good source of money.

You are already a junior member you should know that posting a referral link in a thread is a big violation of the forum rules, you even create a tracking link so you can track how many are going to your referral link and signing in, the topic is just a cover-up to abuse and takes advantage of the topic.

OP obviously did not read or blatantly ignore the forum rules by posting a referral link with a tracking link.

Is this for this reason you left him a red trust feed back while he's only a Junior member?   Moreover your feed back point to his current OP where we can't see any abuse. I don't think posting a referral link even with an URL shortener means markk1 is untrustable. You should turn your feed back to neutral IMO.

Good. Stopping playing gambling is the best choice for you to prevent the next losses. I hope you don't make the same mistake as before because you are lucky to realize the mistake. Next time, I do not think that you will realize that again because who knows, you make another worst mistake which you don't realize.

You should always remember that even if you are single and decide everything by yourself, that does not mean you can spend all of your money easily or borrow the money to playing gambling because some people do that to fill their wanting of playing gambling.

Good for you if you managed to stop before risking everything. Knowing the bad side effects of this vice.

Got to be extra careful as due to being bachelor you'll easy to decide, and regrets comes after every mistakes, proper balance in anything
that you are planning to do in life.

It helps to survive and keeps you away from endangering not only your finances but also your physical and mental health.

Yeah, @OP made a really good decision when he stopped gambling. When he experienced significant losses and cost a lot of money, many people were trapped to continue betting. They are even willing to go into debt to gamble. In the end they are not only lost money, but also lost his family. Many people in my village got kicked out because they couldn't stop gambling and left a lot of money from debt. Hopefully the OP will get a job that can make his life better after quitting gambling.

[leea-1334]

The problem that often occurs for most gamblers is because they don't realize that greed is what drove them to loss. Therefore I agree that
the most important thing in playing gambling is how to control our greed. Because this is what triggers a loss initially to spend all the capital
you have, only to get a win when playing gambling.

Sometimes it is not greed though but also a fear to lose more. Chasing losses as they say, so this is very different from greed where the motivation is to make more profit. Many more players lose because they want to chase back their losses thinking, I have already lost so much,,, surely my good fortune must be just around the corner? They forget that random probability has no memory.
