Be a Responsible Gambler

[Stevcummings]

Sorry for your story man, gambling is not a guaranteed profitable activity, it is only an entertainment area !! I advise you to stay away from gambling activities and try to find work. Make a plan for your life again. Don't think about getting more loans, but try to count on yourself and work hard.

This is the right set of advice for a Gambler.( Gambling can’t  and shouldn’t be a platform for Income generation. It’s just a platform for leisure. I am a Gambler too but a very disciplined one. Gambling directly involves a little patience and calmness. Whether you’re a Beginner or a veteran, you need to stay calm and emotionally neutral when weighing up a betting prospect.

The problem is that I think OP is having a hard time changing things for the better because I am sure that he/she is pressured to pay off the debt as fast as possible, it is easy to say that they change for the better but OP has to have the strength to change himself/herself because if there was an intervention and  OP isn't ready, I am sure that he/she will have a high chance of relapse.

With that huge debt, I think he can be depressed and maybe he can not think about what he must do. We can hope that someone besides him can know that he really needs help and attention from people around him. @OP needs to admit and have the courage to tell other people about his situations to figure out how to clean the mess. I do not think it will easy after what he's done. Being a responsible gambler will not easy as we know that there is tempting from the games that can drag us to play longer.

That is a pretty far fetch assumption that OP is going to suffer depression, it is not a joke. I believe that they can only be helped if they at the least want to be helped but right now. It is not going to be easy, any mess that you want to get out of is definitely going to be messy, if it isn't then you are doing something wrong.

That is not a joke. If your mind always thinks about something, that can affect your body, and in the end, that can make you depressed because of what you think. If your debt to someone, you will get pressured to pay off the debt as fast as possible, and if you can not pay the debt, they will hunt you without stop and make you insecure. Your mind will think about how to solve that, but you can not get the right way to do it, and if you get the same situations for some time, that can make you depressed. Yes, help from other people will always be the way for that person to get out of the problem. Maybe sharing with other people can give you the way.

Important Note : If you're jobless don't get into gambling, I'm an example. I don't have a job, and that's the reason I wasn't able to keep me deviated from gambling. Hope this helps someone.

Thank You

Not Unless you will Rob a Bank or Scam other people there is no way that a Jobless can still gamble . So this advise is clearly not the one we are talking here.

I was a Active or better called Addicted gambler in the past but i never did gamble whenever i have no Job or at least stopped from my Work.

Logically, it is true that if we don't have a job, how to get capital to play gambling. But I have a friend who doesn't have a job, but is always
active playing gambling every week. It turned out that after I investigated my friend got money to play gambling from borrowed money,
in which he pawned his vehicle to earn money. And also my friend sold some of his parents inheritance to be able to play gambling. Sometimes
people if they are addicted to gambling, do things that are self-defeating. I have tried to advise him, but the person is stubborn and does not
listen to advice from others.

This is the worst that you can do to yourself gambling without a job to support you, and even if you have a job at least don't be a compulsive gambler, protect yourself at all times, don't get into a trap where you loses control of yourself, your story is not the worse there are worse gamblers and take them years to rehabilitate themselves, and they lose good years of their lives.

Thanks for you honest words OP.
When you gamble you have to be really disciplined and you must never let your emotions get the best of you. It is a well-known phenomenon that once you lose money in gambling, you often want to win it back immediately to recover your losses. Most of the time, unfortunately, this leads to the fact that you increase your losses even further.
The best thing in my opinion is, that you only transfer a certain amount of money to a casino like for example 200$ or 0,5 ETH or any other amount of money that you can afford to lose and if you were unlucky and that money is gone then you have to be disciplined and you need to resist the urge to just send more immediately.

First it is Our money that involves when we gamble meaning that if we don't get responsive then we will lose our money.

Second once you turn to gambling ,you must make sure to become a person that has Self control and a good in all things to maintain your ability to manage your money.

[danherbias07]

Thank you for sharing and I am sorry for all that you had lost.
It will help a lot of users here that had been gambling way too far.

The amounts you spend though, I can't imagine myself spending that much for just making the game more exciting.
Yes, I put bets to have the joy of cheering for the team I placed my bet for and that's it.
Most of the time I just go for $5-10 and that's it. I try to dig every information I could obtain to have a higher probability of win.

Loans are also not a good idea. If you can avoid it, please do.

...
Further went for another borrow. This time it was $1000, and made it grow little by little and reached $4500. The greed making $1000 more caused me empty my wallet once again. Further went for a loan, this time it is very big. Bought Bitcoin for about $9500 and started to gamble. This went to $14000. By then my mind remembered of the $35000 debt. So, continued with big rolls and the end result is a empty wallet. Finally within the 31 days what I've made is nothing, but raised my debt from $35000 to $47500 and has lost my savings of $2500. After all even thought of ending my life(now that's not in me). Never do the same as me. Now I've promised myself to take a break from gambling.
...

Sorry about that, even the most calm and cold minded person can fall to a gambling spree. It is curious how psychology works... firstly you think that 1000 is not much and you need much more to make a difference in your life, but you know that betting goes both ways and if you loose you feel that you have lost your one shot to improve your financials, so you borrow.

If you are unlucky, which is what gambling is designed for, you will progressively convince yourself that you have to borrow more and become more sunken in debt. Now it is the time to work yourself out of it and unfortunately this is a hard lesson. Thanks for sharing.

In my village when people play cards I used to advice them, none know I'm into gambling. What they play for is not more than $5, and now I find guilty of being worse than them

by the time you gave advice it automaticaly records to them that you are a gambler because you wont have an idea of what your saying if your not one of them  .
if your good at giving advices you should also be the one that is well diciplined or else your only fooling your self around by lying .
 what advice did you gave out , to gamble what you can afford ? they gamble 5 dollars because thats the money they can afford . dont compare your self to them if you can afford gambling thousands of dollars

How can you make an adise if you don't have any experienced? Even you think they don't know about your gambling activities once you show something they'll feel it and know it inside them that you are indeed also one of them,

Curious if what advise did you give, as if it's the one that mentioned that very common but yet hard to execute once you are the one on the situation, making sure that you only use money that you can afford to lose.

It's been always that way but changes whenever you are already playing, losing control is the most common mistake, then regrets after losing or burning huge amount of money.

Indeed it's bad behavior to gamble without having any certain jobs in real life, in fact lots of people out there still gamble with such condition either through traditional gambling or online gambling. What's make OP's case worse is he was gamble with borrowed money, doesn't have any certain jobs, and I can say he has huge enough debts in the first place.

Its really a suicidal act when you dont have a job and making gambling as a source of income? I dont know on why some people do have this kind of mindset?

You dont know that you cant rely into something or no source of income for you to sustain even up with your own living and now you do deal with gambling?

You would really realize things when everything starts to give out results.People should really stop on doing that if they dont like to suffer.

You do what you share or else you’re just guiding them to impress them and to tell that you’re s gambler too but in reality, you’re a terrible gambler.

You have a bad decision making, gambling without even money personally tells me that you’re gambling addict and the moment you gamble again using a borrowed funds, it’ll be more hard for you to recover. Pay all your debt, don’t gamble not until you fix everything, especially fixing yourself.

[Lordhermes]

I felt it when you explained your situation on taking gradual loan into gambling, I s geve worth it because gambling is not a source of income into someone Life, I have never encountered a successful gambler before, and so it's advisable to stay far away from making what will eventually make you become addicted to gambling.

If you can't control your emotions while playing bets, it will ruin your life to something else while you never win bigger profits, I immediately quit because I discovered that I wasn't profiting in any case.

"There's nothing like getting rich quick" Financial success takes time, initiative and requires relentless effort "Those who gamble are deluded into thinking that there is a shortcut to success," Corley writes.

Instead, millionaires "get in the habit of pursuing their dreams and goals."

On the other hand, excessive alcohol consumption prevents you from becoming a millionaire since it damages your memory, the ability to think clearly and your health. That doesn't mean that you can't occasionally have a glass of wine or beer. Don't make drinking a habit.

Above is a briefing about gambling and drink from an article. Going through the article it attracted me, and the same made me realise gambling and drinking are almost same when we aren't able to have self control.

Note : If the post need to be deleted, please inform. Because, I've copy pasted from the article which isn't allowed in our forum.

No one should really put himself into gambling if he doesn't have his own source. That's the part that you cannot control yourself once you have a goal that you think it's already within your reach but didn't happen at all.

It is why that there will be those suggestions that say that it's best to gamble with your own money, not through loans. If you can't gamble with your own money, choose to obstinate your craving to gamble.

This is the easiest way to fucked up your life or become miserable, get a loan and gamble it, even if you are good at gambling there is no way you can make money out of it, gambling is a way to make some fun not an investment where you can make a profit while doing it, you are talking of big money here which is already considered a fortune for many people from third world country like mine, I'll definitely not going to waste my money from gambling.

[just_Alice]

I often hear these stories and see people on gambling websites losing thousands of dollars in a matter of minutes, I can't even imagine what that feels like. Once I've lost around $100 just like you. At first, I lost, then I was chasing the loss, tried to win, then my biggest mistake - when I won I thought that I can maybe win some more and ended up losing everything and that felt horrible. But that's nothing compared to your losses and all these debts.
But I have a strict rule in my life - whatever happens never borrow money. That way you can only lose that what belongs to you, but at least you won't owe anyone anything.
It's good of you to share your experience here. Hopefully, people won't repeat your mistakes.

Unfortunately, some of the people are like that. the more you give them some hype to proceed to something that might lead them to destruction they will put their life at stake anyway. The OP is trying to tell us his past experience which will help lots of users who are daydreaming of becoming a millionaire in this industry which is mostly not gonna happen. This is hard for the OP but everything can be changed if you still have those "never give up attitude" in yourself. You will gonna move on just keep going your life would become easier after this decision of yours.
