The worst situation you're in that you regret that you learn about gambling

What's a similar case that you're in that made you regret that you learned gambling?

Not a personal experience, but an experience from someone close who I know, He almost ended in jail because he used the money his boss gave to him to gamble and ended up not being able to purchase an important material for work. He was too embarrassed to tell his boss and ended up going into hiding not taking or answering phone calls from the boss. When he was caught, and I later confronted him on why he took such actions, he blamed and cursed the day he learnt to gamble because he understood that because of his gambling addiction, his relationship with his boss has been destroyed.

Gambling has taught me how to keep myself calm in the face of loss and how to be patient and deal with situations. Moreover, gambling is a good way to spend free time in a lonely life where one can have a bad time even without a companion. Moreover, through gambling, we want to assume a positive thing, such as if we face a loss in a business, we get an important comfort or education from gambling to be patient and continue the business by recovering the loss from the business without being disappointed.

Honestly, I have experienced a situation like this when I could still be said to be quite new to the world of gambling and didn't really understand what gambling actually was, especially about the chances of winning and possible risks. At that time I worked at a goods delivery place and I had the task of being someone who was responsible for delivering goods to consumers. Every day I sent ordered goods to the people who ordered them and in short there were several people who paid by making transfers via account because they do not have fiat money. Long story short, some money went into my personal account which was basically company money that I received from people who ordered goods, after that one of my friends bragged about the big win he got from gambling on a type of slot machine and in the end I was really tempted and gambled with that money with the same belief expressed by the OP that I could win from a large multiplier.

But in the end, maybe you already know what happened to me, all the company's money disappeared in an instant and that really made me unable to say anything and just contemplating in the corner. This is one of the incidents that traumatized me in my gambling involvement which also ultimately made me not dare to use other people's money to gamble just based on beliefs that may not necessarily be in accordance with reality, however this is a good lesson and I hope we can be more careful - Be careful in every decision you make.

I’ve heard and seen people around me use money that was meant for something else to gamble but never in my life have I gambled with money that’s meant for something else or money someone gave me to keep for them.

The only thing I did which was a bit risky was when I deposited my last money into my gambling account (at the time i made the deposit the money was not in my budget to do anything) I gave everything into an accumulated 3 odds football bets and I lost it in a single go. That is the only time I have regretted depositing money into my account cos as soon as it was gone I started realizing that I could have used that money for something else but during the time I was making the deposit nothing came to my mind.

I actually don’t pray that anyone experience such things or even get to the point where they’ll have start looking for means to generate funds for gambling. This has led to so many people making decisions that almost ruined their lives.

I sold my laptop that was damaged to gamble, instead for me to repair it. I sold my home theater to gamble and I lost the money. I used my finally year school fees to gamble but my dad gave me another money for school fee. I gambled with the money my dad kept with me because he trusted me, I lost it and I felt like killing myself, but I was coward to do it. I was addicted for five years since 2014 to 2019.

Your Dad really did help you alot, Thank God you are out of it now.

I'm thankful that I have never been addicted to gambling and will never be. I started gambling 2022 and then stopped that same year because around September 2022, I literally use the last money my account for betting and I lost it and then literally became broke throughout the whole month to the point of not having money for Internet subscription and the fact was that I couldn't tell anyone about it. Though in 2023 I came back, through influence of some peers but this time I don't put high hopes on gambling and now stick with this motto: small stake with high odds while I also not betting often

[Z-tight]

I don't think there is any situation that has ever made me regret gambling, the reason is because i have always been a reponsible gambler, you only regret in things like this when you are irresponsible in gambling. However, i have heard stories of crazy gambling addictions and and i have also had friends who suffered from it, and i can tell you that it isn't easy to get free from it, sometimes even needing psychological help.

A compulsive gambler took the rehabilitation just because the friend found he is gambling and lost the money, sounds too good to beleive.


People generally change their track if they met with life-altering event like they used the money needed for the medical expenses so they led their loved one to suffer just to satisfy a temporary uge is the basic core which I witnessed why most people get rid of their addiction but once they are became completely out of their addiction, their decision will be never ever do that in their life again.

[stomachgrowls]

I was talking to a friend who used to be a compulsive gambler and is now a responsible gambler and I asked him what made him decide to be rehabilitated is it because of the money, he said its not.

It was because of the situation that he was in and that a friend asked him to keep his money it was his saving and he was about to buy a new cell and he only needed a week to complete the money and he didn't keep it in the house he might use it so he decided to entrust the money to him because his friend had complete trust on him.

Unfortunately because of his addiction, he was tempted to use the money to gamble thinking that he could double the money and give his friend a share so he could buy a more expensive cellphone, unfortunately, he lost the money and surprisingly his friend showed up and asked for the money the day after he loss the money.

He has no choice but to tell the truth, his friend does not know that he is a gambler so to forgive him for what he did his friend asks him to undergo rehabilitation, he was so embarrassed that he regrets learning about gambling, and thankful that because of his friend he was rehabilitated.

Good thing for you if you do end up on having a friend on which they could really be that easily forgive you on what you have done. Yes, money isnt everything but for most people if once this thing
is really that being compromised or being the main issue then even how close friend you are, you would really be able to have that kind of arguments or having those long winding discussions on what happened
and you would really be that obliged on paying up on what you had damaged or you've spent but it would really be that depending on what type of friend you do have.lol

Going back into the situation about spending up the money which isnt yours, then it is really that basically showing that you are really that totally that get addicted with gambling.
You are someone whose really that being that able not to control that urge which is a solid indication of addiction and this is why it would be always best that you should really
know on how to control that kind of urge because you cant really be so sure that everyone could understand you most of the time.

Well, that story, if at all it was not made up, that is, if it really happened, then, I can only imagine how embarrassing that must have been for the guy who spent his friends money on gambling.
The story looks very similar to that which I shared here some time ago, of a soon to be couple who were preparing for their wedding, the wife to be saving money with the husband to be, and the money was supposed to cater for the wedding expenses, but unfortunately, the husband to be ended up gambling the whole over five thousand dollars away, his reason was that, he thought he could double the money so that the burden of the wedding expenses could be lesser on the wife to be.

Many people have made grievous mistakes when it comes to gambling, unfortunate enough, I myself have only made such mistake ones in my life, and mine isn't as bad and embarrassing since it's my money I actually gambled with, but I played with an amount which obviously I could not afford losing, but I lost it, and the shock landed me in the hospital, that period, I regretted for sure, what brought me into gambling.

But just as it is commonly said that "as time passes, healing happens", I completely gotten over that loss, and I've always been careful not to make same mistake ever again.

If you only regret it then there will be no change at all in your life. A person regrets having suffered a huge loss, a loss he cannot afford to lose. However, the next day he returned to gambling with even more money than before, with the aim of avenging the losses he had suffered previously, as a result of which he did not achieve a big win and he lost again.

Feeling regret alone is not enough and we cannot repeat what has happened to our gambling, including replacing losses that we have experienced in gambling. So let bygones be bygones, henceforth and in the future we have to improve everything, gamble responsibly and with full control, so that at least even if we are not able to achieve a big enough win, we are able to minimize the losses that occur.

Totally embarrassing or shameful on which you did spend out his money without his permission. For sure your friend cant trust you up anymore on leaving up some funds because they have seen on what you have done.

He/She cant trust you up anymore with those funds, he/she might be having that not much reaction on what happened but deep inside he had really changed up that views towards your or impression basing up on what you have done. Using up someones money just to feed up your addiction is never been that a good image. No matter how close you are with your friend but those things changed right now.
Just like been said above that you are lucky if ever your friend didnt changed up those views and have that concern on what condition you are right now.

We cant really be able to judged up people so easily on what are the reactions that they would be making but most likely people would really be
having that kind of the same reaction once they do know on what you have done.

Personally, it has never happened to me, neither involving people I know. I just have heared about stories of other people who I didn't meet personally, but that had end very tragically, due to them not repaying the money they borrowed from loan sharks. That is why we don't recommend anyone borrowing money to gamble, because the outcomes can be devastating for gamblers, making them unable to repay the debt later. The sole decision of holding money which isn't yours is already risky enough and should be disconsidered if you are suffering from compulsive tendencies.

Unfortunatelly in the story you shared, the friend didn't know his fellow was a gambler, therefore he trusted money to him. If it were me, I don't know if I would forgive the gambler fellow, because he should have warned he wasn't comfortable to hold the funds, due to his gambling addiction. Someone who knows to be an addicted has a moral obligation of warning others about their addiction, when they identify they can harm those people somehow.

Being a gambling addict can effect your life totally and ruin many good things you use to have suvh as relationships with your friends or relatives, it may also effect your personality and treatment with people just as a drug addict so when you have a winning day, your treatment will be good with people and the opposite when you lose.
I have many bad situations and I learned a lot from gambling addiction, with experience I discovered one good thing which changed the way of gambling for me and when should I gamble, it’s very easy to enjoy gambling even when you lose in situations where the money you are using is not important and is just that amount of money you keep for fun, for instance chosing between going to a trip and spending on food or other expenses or just staying at home with your cup of coffee, computer and have a good session in slots or Live casino.

Even though, I had some situations where I thought that gambling is bad and it is the main problem not me, my first days in online casinos where profitable until one day when I had my first big loss, the money I should keep for university expenses I used it in BlackJack and lost it all due to chasing losses, with time I have learned that you only regret the important money you lose while you wouldn’t care losing that extra money considerd or reserved for fun, but the opposite when you win big from that money it’s more enjoyable.

I have not had any case where I used funds entrusted to me for gambling. I have never gambled with loans, credits or used funds, not mine to gamble. But I have had an incident where I regretted my gambling activities. There was a day when I got my weekly wage and a friend told me that a man informed him that he got some numbers from an insider. He convinced me that these games were sure they would bring a big win. I used the entire week's wage to stake in the game. I had already calculated what I would do with the wins but when the results came out, I lost the game. The consequence was that I had to suffer throughout the week to survive. I was depending on my co-workers to feed and they were mocking me that I used my funds for gambling. This was how I learned my lessons to gamble responsibly and to bet only what I can afford to lose.

Something that I have learned about addictions is general is that the person may live in self-denial all they want but you know that moment when you all alone and you have this conversation in your head with yourself about how you could quickly gamble with your savings, tuition fee, house rent, vacation money or anything other with the mindset of multiplying it, that is the very moment you should know that your addicted to gambling and it shouldn't be ignored.

I am reading so many comments here with my mouth opened. I can say that gambling addicting should not be trivialized or looked down neither should be person which is addicted be mocked for speaking up or seeking help. If you have a friend and you notice the slightest symptom of addiction, help that person. Do not wait until they have done something stupid as a result of the addiction before you help them.

And to those who are reading this and are still struggling with gambling addiction or any other addiction, my advice to you is that do not lose hope and faith. If others can overcome it, then you too can.

[bitbollo]

I have a close friend that spends around 20/30% of his salary despite he needs that money maybe for an holiday or just some health issue. Of course he is not earning one euro from this activity.
I don't like that he is wasting so much money on this activity but it seems kind impossible he can change his aptitude... "I will get a xxxx euro win" .... I think this is just a mental justification likewise "I continue to bet because I like it...and I can't stop it"
Gambling led people to lie. Not only to other people but also to ourselves.

[Johnyz]

Fortunately, I didn’t regret anything that much because I’m a responsible gambler the moment I start my gambling journey, though sometimes I play with too much emotions and that result into losses but I didn’t regret it. Gambling is too risky, if you are going to spend the money that is not yours that could be your riskiest decision especially if you don’t have the capacity to repay it instantly.

Neither you have used it on gambling or other means, using up someones money is never been that good or simply its considered stealing i should say on which making use of something
which you arent that permitted on doing so would always be that not a good thing to be done. Just like you on which i dont have any regrets on knowing gambling yet
im really that doing gambling for leisure and entertainment. The money spent is the only amount on which i can afford to lose or simply the amount that had been allocated.

The only wrong things on why people do end up miserable is that they do really let or make themselves that being excessive on the things that they are dealing on with.
Regrets do always come at the end and this is why you should really be that mindful on the actions that you are making and not really just that
simply letting it slip right aware on the moment that you do make out such act. There's always an accompanied consequences on every act to be made on.

I have never felt regretful just because I got to know the world of gambling and studied it and played there. I regret not because of the gambling that I did, but I regret the bad behavior that I did when gambling and that happened repeatedly, making me a person who was quite careless in making decisions when placing bets that only resulted in losses. . And starting from these problems and the feelings of regret that I experienced, I was determined to become a better gambler, but not in the sense of a gambler who was able to win every time he placed a bet. But a gambler who is wiser in terms of self-control and good finances. And by gambling wisely and controlling my finances consistently well, this has proven to be able to help me overcome the losses I experience in the gambling I do. Which is not only able to enable me to manage risk well, but by doing this my gambling becomes even better, where this gambling activity does not interfere with other activities.

Really you have found a good side in the gambling that you play and I think you have been able to gamble well and also really enjoy every game you play, if you can gamble like that, of course you are very good at managing your emotions when gambling and also You will not experience addiction from the gambling you play.

In my opinion, it is very rare for people to enjoy gambling as you say, because mostly I see everyone who gambles greedily so that they experience a lot of losses from the gambling they play and will have financial difficulties and what is worse is that they are more concerned with the money they have. they have on gambling rather than using it for the needs they need.
