gambling addiction is getting real

[Cling18]

Thank you for all the replies.

Let me clarify on this again.

Yes, it was totally dumb to bet 20k of my profits into gambling. Learnt my lesson from it and will recover from here and hope in the future will not have the same thing happen again.

And about sportsbetting , want to clarify that personally i love MMA . from the start to the end , even before i start trading i do started to watch MMA/boxing etc. and the 'sports' i bet is on MMA with 'extra' cash. this weekend will be my last sportsbetting for awhile until 3 month (decided to go for 3 month) and fully focusing on my trading and my RL works ( to help forget about gambling ) . Will constantly update on this thread about what going on and did i success on 'exclude' myself from betting.


My aim right now : Stop gambling on (slots,online casino thingy) . Sportsbet ( i will continue even after my 3 month exclusion , checked with my previous record,  not even 6-1 years of betting in sportsbet lose more than 20k in 2 days. )


Thank you and i will update here . ( won't be constantly replying post )

You really have to control yourself not just in betting with certain games but I would suggest that you would allocate enough funds in gambling so you'll never lose a lot in the end. Self-control and discipline is still the key. You really have to be responsible for your actions and don't let your emotions rule over you.

I'm sorry about what happened to you but this is your fault so I can't do anything but be concerned and maybe just give a little message.
do not let this greed and addiction continue, immediately avoid habits like this.
Gambling and slots are indeed not prohibited but don't get too used to this because this will only harm yourself

There's no one you could blamed of but only yourself whenever you do commit out mistakes and consequences just because of the actions

that you had made which it isnt surprising that gambling addiction could cause up problems if you dont know on how to control it.It does

require self awareness on your actions and be sensible on what you are doing and thinking on what are the probabilities of things to happen.

this is a consequence that will arguably get regretted for quite some time.
but the OP here talks about the experience as well as being a warning to us because when he writes about this he reminds us not to make the same mistakes as the OP did.
This is where self -control must be maintained, what we do there must be self -control for that and when we lost self -control, especially in gambling then things like what happened to OP will also happen to us

Sorry for your loss man. But i need to say one thing:

1.  Lost 20k just in 2 days after 'touching' on slots .

I F*CKING KNEW IT!. I said it many times before: slots and dice is evil and just a good way to ruin your life.
Be wise, listen to me

3. For Sportsbetting / Slots , i will take 1 month back and rethink on what happen in the last 2-3 days before back to gambling . 

Good idea.

From what thought and watching the post that you guys gave me , i mostly will stop on gambling for awhile especially slots.

You should never touch slots again.

Thanks for the support and reply . Appreciate it and wanted to say , stay off from gambling or bet on what you are willing to lose. Will continue to update my post .  Sorry for the bad english , as it was not my main language.

Yep man, life is going so just make right conclusions and move forward

Well bro i also lost huge money in gambling but it is nearly impossible to leave it when you get addicted to it as after loosing a lot i am still gambling.
the thing you can do is get busy in something else , enjoy life with what you have and when you want to gamble, do it with very small amount so that even if you loose it does not affect you badly.

gambling makes people happy and forget about themselves how to manage not to get addicted is difficult ,by dismissing the thought of gambling it is also difficult ,increasing activities outside to ignore the mind is also difficult ,nothing is easy unless supported by the closest person with a calm heart which will end the addiction ,I was also in a position of addiction but with a good environment gradually I become good

Self-control is very important here.
regardless of the experience op felt I think this is a lesson for everyone.
and indeed now it must be really safe and have calculations so that everything doesn't happen again the same case as the op described in his thread.

Most cases on where people do only learn when they had already been wrecked badly by gambling or simply lost up big time on it because before that they wont really be minding about those risk.

Gambling addicts do mostly had failed to resolved out their addiction issue that's why some do really ask out some help on their loved ones or to professional ones and some do able to overcome addiction by themselves.

This is really a matter of self control and if you aren't really that good on handling out things specially yourself on gambling then this would really be a big problem.

The original post is now updated.

After reading that, I now have a conclusion that you don't need any advice. You have already decided that you will continue to gamble. Maybe not just to cover the loss but you are really a gambler.

I think you are mature to know what's the best thing to do next. Just do your very best or even better.

It is nice to see some self-reflection and awareness in your posts, most of the time when something like this happens people blame the casino, their luck or anything else they think they can blame instead of accepting their responsibility of what they did and how they are the only ones that are guilty of the situation they are in.

That being said I still think it is a good idea to look for a professional on the field of addiction and see what you can learn from it, and while I do not think you are addicted to gambling you could face that danger in the future and it is better to be prepared and be able to recognize the signs before it is too late.
