Some of my big losses (Gamble Responsibly)

[AmoreJaz]

Gambling is a game of luck and it can hit you profit today and next tommorow you lose everything you have achieved, so therefore i want us to believe such point, because if you keep the documents of what you use in playing gambling and what you don't use in playing gambling, you will notice that sometimes the lost will be higher than the profit and it's difficult before you can see the profit go higher than what you spent so far.

there will always be losses and winnings in gambling. and if you're not prepared for it, you will go deep not only with debt but trouble in terms of your family relationships. do remember that this is gambling and no one is immune to losses at some point of their journey. so if you are not up to it, much better to walk a different path before it is too late for you. hard to keep those list of winnings and losses if you have active gambling activities. sometimes big losses and winnings are just the only ones which really stick to your mind.

Good for you, some people post only the bright side of their gambling career, it's like Instagram photos, you don't post bad ones, so for you to post your losses now after seeing how people reacted to seeing your big win is admirable, you felt the guilt of their gambling addiction, because I gotta be honest, when I see someone win a big bet, it starts to look easy for me too, but with seeing those losses you posted, it sets me back a little, that Wawrinka one was wild.

Thanks for the clarification mate, indeed, we will only see or hear what gamblers are going to tell us, those big wins. But at least you open everything with those big bets that you put and it seems that it was a "sure win", nevertheless it was a very bad break to lose those games with incredible odds to win. Just surprises me though that you got a ton of PM's regarding your huge wins, hehehe. Still base on luck though, so I guess for them, they should take that risk and maybe one day they can win big just like what you reach the last time. Right now I'm on a losing streak myself, Lol, but I do know that one of this days, maybe lucky luck will smile on me.

I saw your victories and today I see your defeats, when you look back, are you in profit or are you in loss? do you intend to continue betting these large sums of money or do you already realize that it is time to stop gambling and focus on other things, because the purpose of gambling in the long term is that the bank will break, even if it takes a long time to person is playing and does not give up, then the bank will break and the person will have to put more money to play, so I ask you if you still intend to continue playing with high amounts of money or have you already stopped playing?

another question I have is: how did you withdraw that high amount of money from the casino to the bank? the casino didn't create problems for you? how did you analyze the games knowing that you were going to put a lot of money in the bet, did that not create pressure? did you watch every game you placed bets on? I also noticed that in your multibet bets you added soccer, tennis, baseball, a mixture of sports, how did you deal with all that? because tennis games are boring to watch, and I'm not even going to talk about baseball, because I can't watch this one for even 5 minutes

WoW, that's a really huge loss there, bro. Some will not expose this information because they want people to see them as gambling pros who always make winning predictions and tips. "In gambling, nothing is guaranteed." is a nice gambling tip because every sure bet could turn into a loss, but some people forget that tip. When my two friends and I first started gambling, we looked for possible ways to get some predictions, and we went searching on Facebook and found a lot of groups and pages that offer gambling tips, but the admin said we would have to pay first to get the predicted numbers, and after we did, we were given some sports booking codes, but among all that we paid for, there were no wins, so we were scammed. That's how we took the decision to learn the tips ourselves, and from them, I also got a gambling tip that stuck in my head: "no matter how professional a gambler is, they will still face losses.".

I am very glad that you have shown forum users not only your successful bets, but also the bets that led you to losses. In my opinion this is a good example to show that in betting as well as in gambling the outcome very often depends on luck and not only on the professionalism of the bettor.

Good luck to you and I hope you'll share more successes with us in the future!

Your message is now balanced mate. You have indeed done the right thing. When people saw the stories about your mega wins they assume that gambling is a win-win situation or game but showing us your losses has shown that one can also lose. When I read your first post I thought you were a scammer that wanted to attract people but from what you have shown now I should confess that I am wrong. I am also pleased to know that you refused to collect money from members to give them game tips, this is a very selfless act. I must say that you should keep up the good work and thank you for your advice on responsible gambling.

[lienfaye]

These examples should show you how hard it is to win big amounts and I hope everyone who reads it understands nothing is guaranteed when it comes to gambling. Luck plays a HUGE part in gambling and the weather, the referees or an unforeseen scenario can be the difference between winning or losing.

Indeed. This is the reality in gambling, winning is not guaranteed. Behind those huge wins flexing by gamblers, there's a story of losses and we don't know how much they already spent before winning such amount. It's a good thing you showed your losses as well so that these people messaging you will realize that it's not only about winning because losses are also part of it.

Please only gamble what you can afford to lose and if you don't have discipline or control you shouldn't be gambling. I can't stress that enough.

That's how it should be. Don't gamble if you can't control yourself because it can lead to serious problem.

[xSkylarx]

Those numbers are pretty big and am very amazed and i am not shocked lot of newbies or gamblers sending messages on you as you win big because you bet big. I am just glad that your thread are true as you know a lot of people here make a thread just for the sake of merit. You bets are really huge and i cant imagine betting that huge but again you are spending money you can afford to lose then its okay for you

[Fundamentals Of]

You have a really great experience in sports betting. And I assume that you also have a great amount of knowledge on the sports that you are betting on. We can learn a lot from your experiences. But one thing that I appreciate you speaking is that even in sports betting luck plays an important role. I know that there are gamblers who may not agree because luck is usually associated with casino games, but I am with you. Even in sports games where the main factor is the skills of the players, luck is still powerful enough to make results, even unexpectedly.

You did right posting your losses, there were many threads about gamblers winning and these temp people that its possible to win big amounts of money, by showing them your results you just show the true picture of how gamblers have their highs and lows in their bets, those who earlier post their winnings are just bragging and wants people to show admiration to their skill, but you are different you show them that things are not easy and they should play with money they can afford and not to be tempted to be like those who pretend to be good in winning.

The OP is doing the right thing, those that want to become professional gamblers or professional traders most of the time have a mistaken view of how this could work out.

They seem to believe that if they are to become professionals in one of those two professions then they will find a way to never lose, and this is false, a professional gambler will lose money as well and if they are unlucky they could not earn any money for months, and very few gamblers can survive that long without any form of income.

Secondly, the amount of private messages from people I have received is crazy. There is nothing guaranteed in gambling and you can quickly put yourself in a financial predicament by trying to win large amounts of money fast. The most important things to remember when betting is to gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose. This amount is different for other people and if you are not betting within your means you are heading for disaster.

This is something that many of us repeat in this section but many people do not get it into their heads. As I commented in another thread, it can be seen that there are many people who see in this the possibility of an easy way out of their dissatisfaction with life, but in general it is neither an easy way out, and in many cases when they win a big jackpot they end up betting it all again and more.

It is to your credit that you have been transparent and honest in showing your losses as well. Hats off to you.

[Pierre 2]

This thread basically shows it takes too much effort and experience to find accurate bets and in this way you will keep losing some bets numerous times. It will cost you ten thousands of dollars basically. I think it's about destiny or chance. Sometimes the matches we see as guarenteed can have extraordinary results because goalkeeper getting injured etc or referee messing match up with terrible decisions like penalties whistled so on.

[Strongkored]

It was the right decision from Op by not receiving payment for those who asked for betting tips unless Op decided to open a betting tip service so that whatever results will be obtained by bettors who follow the bets, it will not be a problem.
Op also acted correctly by posting his defeat because it could be people who asked for betting tips from him because he thought Op was a bettor who was always right in his choices even though in gambling losing and winning had the same opportunities.

[LogitechMouse]

Please only gamble what you can afford to lose and if you don't have discipline or control you shouldn't be gambling. I can't stress that enough.

Sadly, they don't care about that. What they care more is the possible earnings that they can get when they gamble.
I've seen here in forums users who are sharing their worst moments in gambling. I've seen also here some of the best advices that a gambler can share to those who had bad experience in gambling.

There might be some who are learning after they experience the most hurtful thing that they can experience, but there are some who are hard-headed and will never realize their wrongdoings. There are still gamblers who after losing huge amount of money, will again gamble without any discipline or can't control themselves at all.

Winning and picking in bets takes time. What others see is only the winnings, but they aren't looking at the amount of money that they've spend and the possible losses just to get that amount. Like OP said, LUCK plays a big role in gambling, but aside from that, I believe that attitude plays a big role in gambling as well.

Experience and defeat usually teach us many things to become more expert at gambling, but sometimes everything takes luck too and not only good at predicting gambling, I am also not an expert at gambling but OP teaches many things that to get big results we need dare to lose big money, but never try to be OP because gambling must be wise according to what we can afford to lose.

[coin-investor]

OP taught us two things you can win a big amount and you can lose a big amount, it's not easy to win a big amount if you are not risking losing a big amount, high rewards can be attained if you are willing to take the risk, the second is you have to be realistic that you can lose successively and the big amount and even if you lose a big amount it will always hurt even if you are comfortable with it you need to be honest on your winning and your losing.

Hi Guys,

A few weeks ago I posted my $417,000 win from a $300 bet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441169.0).

Since then I have received multiple private messages from people who are offering me money in exchange for betting tips and advice.

I am making this thread to address the above matter plus the issue of responsible gambling.

Firstly, I will NEVER ask for or accept money or payments from anyone on this forum. There is enough information, statistics and knowledge for free online that you should never pay for these services. Anybody who tries to sell you "tips" or "picks" is most likely a scammer who is only interested in taking your money. Do your own research/analysis online for free it really isn't hard at all.

Secondly, the amount of private messages from people I have received is crazy. There is nothing guaranteed in gambling and you can quickly put yourself in a financial predicament by trying to win large amounts of money fast. The most important things to remember when betting is to gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose. This amount is different for other people and if you are not betting within your means you are heading for disaster.

I feel like people only post their winnings and not their losses so I decided to show you the reality of sports betting below.

Indeed, gambling has two sides and it's good that you also touch on the presence of a loss as a natural process of the game. The fact that you won big does not mean that it will last for a long time and is also not a guarantee of winning for other players. when spreading your experience, I think this should cool some jackpot-hungry users from further dm's to you.

[EarnOnVictor]

Gambling is a game of luck and it can hit you profit today and next tommorow you lose everything you have achieved, so therefore i want us to believe such point, because if you keep the documents of what you use in playing gambling and what you don't use in playing gambling, you will notice that sometimes the lost will be higher than the profit and it's difficult before you can see the profit go higher than what you spent so far.

I always tell anyone that would gamble to do it with their heads calculating well, they should never believe that gambling will make them rich overnight. Gambling could be surprising, but the gambling that will make one get so rich would have been the one that high risk has been taken, which I do not like at all.

I prefer to be making my money bit by bit in gambling and use my small amount as usual while I face my real job for the expected riches.

It is so fun this way.

[Yaunfitda]

Please only gamble what you can afford to lose and if you don't have discipline or control you shouldn't be gambling. I can't stress that enough.

Yeah, I think this should be universal for everyone, we should only gamble money that we can afford to lose otherwise you will be on a total downward spiral if you continue to gamble money that is allotted to other things that is more important to you.

And with that, it takes a lot of mental discipline and self control as you have said, and it's not going to be easy whether you are a beginner gambling or more experience one as it will just kick anytime and then you have to fight that demon out within yourself.

I already know these things because I am not new in gambling anymore but I don't know why it's hard to discipline myself and the worst thing that I do not want to happen, happens again. Last day I decided to gamble and luckily win some profits. Successfully withdraw the money but the next day I have the urge to gamble so I deposit all what I withdraw last day, but this time I was unfortunate. Yes, I lose all the money .

My only hope now, is if I can recover those amount using the monthly bonus that I can get from this site that I am playing. I hope so and I think I will try to discipline myself again to control my urges in a playing gambling.
