My worst day in gambling

[Doan9269]

Even when i win at gambling i know how to stop myself. I would never gamble any money i need. Maybe i can't make a lot of money because i don't take risks. But i know myself. If i gamble with the money i need and win, i will continue to gamble. I know very well that if you don't set your stopping point you will hand over your earnings to the table. I'm constantly thinking about possibilities. For this reason, i did not make much money in gambling but i did not lose money that i would regret. The reason for this was the player cards gambling that i played with my friend at a young age. You know player cards were famous in childhood. I gambled with my friend to collect more cards and i lost all the cards i had. I had no financial loss but it was a great lesson for me.

Just as we have worst fays in gambling same we still have the better days there also, most of us like to only talk about the bad experience but go on mute whenever the luck works on our side on the better days, this is common I think in most settings ad well, i believe every gambler has a story to tell with his experience in gambling both the good and the bad, but what remains constant with gambling is loosing and what a gambler often benefitted is the pleasure in gambling.

I remember how I have lost my collection of Turbo chewing gum inserts in obviously loosing bet. I cant remember exactly what were the rules and story behind, but all that I remember was me bluffing and to look cool among kids, I have accepted bet. And I was sky to say no, did not want to lose gained that day reputation Even though now I remember that case with a smile on my face, but that day I though my life has stopped, as I was collecting and gambling to build my collection during a year or more.

sometimes our intuition points us the correct direction but our brains end up being stubborn and don't listen to it
quite a difficult thing to master.

this story also reminds me that sometimes when we lose, we win
so maybe you could learn something out of the situation

Yeap, I've learned that day, that it is hard to earn money. I think I was 5 or 6 years old. I've earned that money by collecting garbage (sort of a cleaners helper), keeping change after helping during shopping, doing other house work for small money (lol). Not to mention time, nerves and etc spent on building my collection. Cant say that this was a very valuable lesson, I think I've learned the value of money to early.

Losing all of my job paychecks in a few hours in a high stakes cash game and being in a slightly drunken state that left me out of control and unfocused.
and then I work hard to make up for the loss by working in one of the car washes after I get home from work which only gets a car or two just enough to eat and a few cigarettes, this is a very bad thing for me. Because I spent all my newly received salary on gambling for only a few hours and was a little drunk and I felt very tired after coming home from work having to work again to cover my losses and for my needs for one month.

After experiencing such a heartbreaking experience after spending school money on gambling, you can think subjectively when going to take an action based on the experience you have had. Not all actions that we think are right can go according to plan, because every action will never be free from risk. Gambling using hot money is not recommended, especially if you use school fees. I can understand how you feel after spending all your school fees on gambling, it must be very frustrating to have to find replacement money as soon as possible. Inevitably you have to accept this harsh reality, this experience will always be recorded in your head and you will be more careful about using hot money for something that does not necessarily guarantee a return.

If you actually learned from ot then, the lose has profited you in some way. In a way that you know when to draw the line and be sure to keep to it. You try not to compromise and you would be good otherwise, it won't be your last time loosing a 2 month salary in an hour, now that's painful you know. A hard earned 2 months and worst if you've got family that are hoping on that money.

Gbling can be rel tricky and that's why it's best played by matured minds and not just adults by age. Too bad the online restriction relies on you just clicking I'm over 18 and we can't place a line on maturity/discipline.

Experience is indeed a valuable asset. This oddity amazes me - everyone knows that Martingale does not work, but everyone tries it and only after personal unsuccessful experience they abandon this strategy. It happened to me and it happens to many other gamblers. Perhaps this is due to the fact that people tend to evaluate themselves as "special" and wait for a miracle. After they lose the deposit, they return to reality and no longer give in to dreams (this is in a good case, in a bad case they believe that next time everything will be different and they will be lucky).

It must be very difficult, my friend, I hope the same thing doesn't happen again to you, my friend.
You should not repeat the same thing (playing gambling in a drunken state). In a conscious state sometimes we can't control our emotions in the game, especially when we're drunk, it's very clear that all these things will happen quickly. We must avoid this kind of thing, which used to play for fun but in the end we have to feel worse because of our own carelessness.

I believe everybody has their worst day in gambling especially if you started gambling early maybe in your teenage age. My worst day was when I used my school fees to gamble because I thought I will make more money to take care of some of my needs in school. At the beginning I was making profit for 2hrs,I was carried away with the anxiety of winning but later the game turned round and I was losing and losing,I didn't quit hoping I will recover my lost. Before I knew it I was left with 10% of the money I started with, I couldn't just quit the game then because I still feel I will start winning again but luck failed me and I got drained of all I have on me.

    Two weeks later it was announced in school that we only had one more week left for closure of school fees payment, I tried borrowing, seek for help everywhere but nobody could help me with the money.  This was how I couldn't pay my fee for that semester and went home with carry overs after the end of the semester as I was not allowed to write some exams.

  How about you do you had a worst day on gambling  that you will never forget ?Did it affect an aspect of your life and how ?
   

This is really strange to me how I could ever used the fund meant for something important to gamble and lose everything. I think this happens as a result of addiction in gambling and having great expectations. We shouldn't always have great expectations in gambling since we are only playing to have better luck and chances to make profits.
This kind of experience is happening everyday and we need to be very careful to ensure that we are not going to fall in this kind of addiction that could make us loss every single money we ever have with us.

Gambling playing supposed have a specific amount of money from a salary, because when you are not planned of the money you have, and you are a gambler you end up of having nothing. And it's not advisable to lend money or use all the monthly earning to play gamble hoping that gamble will return a profit within that time, playing gamble does not have guarantee or assurance that you will win. Because their is every possibility that you won't win or neither win, so in gambling it's like trade by barter, and their is no assurance that you will win

Everything should really be having limitations and specially if you are spending up those funds came from your salary then it would be just common sense that you should really be that
mindful on how you would really allocate funds for your leisure needs which it would really be just common sense that you should really not make yourself spend too much
or else you would be fucked up in terms of your finances.Worst days would always be happening because dealing with gambling in longer runs would just mean out on losing,
house do always win in the end thats why dont push yourself too hard or else you would suffer.

It is common sense for one to know when the odds of a win in a day are in ones favor or against them. Losing is the pain that every gambler must experience before even tasting the delicious rewards of a win. Those who feel so called 'special' and always hope on miracle after gambling recklessly often end up sadder than then they began the game.
I don't take or play gambling like a do or die affair. In this way I am not tormented by the regret of losing on a game I should have won, if I played this, instead of that.

I have read the same experience with the others that they've spent the salary they've just received and lost it all in gambling.
This isn't just all in the web stories but in the real life, I've known a lot in the circle of my friends and friends of friends that are like this. It seems that they can't help themselves anymore and they can't stop it due to the addiction they are experiencing.
Eventually, when they've been stuck with the reality that there are no other people that will help them to get up, they've tried to mitigate it and gradually overcome it.

Totally a waste,eh?
People never ever learn which some of people do really still continue to play despite of the financial situation they do have.Who would really be on their right minds
on spending up their hard earned money from work into gambling? Losing it all in a matter of short time
It would continue until you would bust up everything and this is the time you would really be stopping since you dont have anymore funds for you to make use.

The worst thing when gambling is of course too selfish to expect victory and choose shortcuts to multiply money, because basically gambling is risking money to play.  In addition to having the courage to accept the consequences, we must also be able to play calmly and not act rashly.  besides that we must be able to avoid using money that should be used for other needs.  obviously Op did the wrong thing because he was tempted to double his money on gambling, this of course has often been done by some people when there are needs and have a short mind.  but most people will definitely experience the same thing when in conditions like Op, because the main goal when gambling is not to have fun but to expect to get a big win from it so that it ends up tragically losing everything

commonsense is not that in effect once you are talking about gambling addict , though OP's age cannot be considered addicted when that time happens yet? this is something that concerns His parents.

Losing is the pain that every gambler must experience before even tasting the delicious rewards of a win.

but mostly ? there are what we called as Beginners luck in which newbie gamblers tastes that delicious rewards first before taking the complete losing streak in which we mostly experience most.

Those who feel so called 'special' and always hope on miracle after gambling recklessly often end up sadder than then they began the game.

if you are going to enter gambling then we must be expecting losses as well.

Terrible terrible experience indeed. That means you need to work 2 jobs in a day just to keep up yourself for the current month as you have lost everything including that budget to feed you for the whole month?
Well, in that case, that must have been taught you a very valuable lesson?
Fortunately, I have never experienced that. What I had before, when I was still single, which was like 15 years ago. I've lost more than half of my salary in an expensive bar where there were a lot of good billiard players. I did not drink too much as I've spent it on betting matches (due to frustrations) where I eventually lost after a series of matches.

This experience is known to almost everyone of this platform. Many gamblers have given most of their earnings from the job to gambling every month ‍and lost with in short period of time. Basically such things happen when a gambler is not aware of some basic concepts of gambling. They should learn about it and it has to be used in a discipline manner.

Speaking of selfishness, I think it has happened to some gamblers who continue to gamble and hope to multiply their money through some gambling games. After getting a few wins or losses, one can become selfish because they are tempted to get more wins or recover from losses regardless of how big their chances of getting them are. This is what is experienced by many gamblers out there. This ultimately leads them to bankruptcy and will be realized when their money runs out on the gambling table. And before we experience or have experienced it, we better know ourselves and not force our will to continue gambling and stop immediately before things get messy.

Make the bad experience a valuable lesson, remember gambling is not something you can easily win every time, even when we master the game we can lose.
Mastering emotions is not easy but it must be applied by gamblers to avoid big problems.

I guess that's why it's called gamble, because we really don't know what will be the outcome and as human, we have the tendency to test it for ourselves, take the risks and see how it goes. If it goes in our favor, then good, but wait, we will not stop because we are being played but our emotions and we decided to try and continue. And then it goes on and on, until we get addicted experience the worst and later we will have to decided if we wanted to continue or not. For some of us, we already learned out lesson very well and we won't venture on that kind of thing because we don't want to mess our life again.

I never had any worse or extreme experience of gambling, it is just normal loss and normal wins. I have never won big and I have never lost big, this is because I gamble moderately. The reason why I gamble moderately and responsibly is because the environment and family I grew up, it is a sin to gamble. Even as I am now old enough to gamble and have relocated from my parents, I still have that feeling of not doing the right thing when I gamble and that is why I only do it for fun.

In betting, we must use cold money (money that is not important in the near future, or even now), so if we lose in a bet, we can give it up more easily.
