Let's reminisce on our Gambling Journey, was it worth it?

[ethereumhunter]

The biggest winning for me is when I can control myself from the big lost. I can not win big money but I can control myself so that prevent me from the big lose. I still trying to learn self control over more so I can handle myself when playing gambling and not using too much money. Using too much money only attract me to playing gambling more than usual. I am not confident to say that I gamble responsibly but I can control myself because I often lose control in gambling. It will not easy to manage self control to stay with us while we playing gambling.

[Charles-Tim]

I am not expecting any big winning from both gambling and betting. The only time I won big in gambling and betting was when I had free spins and fee bets. But I won in gambling than betting for the fee spins and bets.

But if it is about using my own money to bet, I use small amount of money to bet. It is very small to the extent I am not expecting nothing big and yes nothing that big has yet come. I am happy with this.

I think it should be common knowledge to have that kind of mindset that you don't need to bet all the time and you should bet only what you can afford to lose. I believe what we need to be asking ourselves, if we are really reminiscing and contemplating the gambling life that someone has, is to know who/what/why you started gambling and what inspires you to continue. I believe with questioning that you can somehow assess where you are and be more aware of what you are doing.

Any gambler who have fallen out of the thought of reflecting on his or her gambling habit is either being enjoy the experience obviously because it's only when you have little doubts or have a reason to check if what you are doing is working for or not that you would have the mindset of thinking of checking or reflecting back. Gambling should be contain at a certain and most certainly some bridges while gambling need not be crossed because if some height is attained in terms of staking power it would be definitely hard to get back on track.

Look back and assess what gambling brings into your life. If you have seen that it caused more negative outcomes, better think if you still need this activity or not. Because without evaluation of your situation every once in a while will indeed direct you to more tight positions where you need to choose better alternatives. Otherwise, more problems will arise in your situation. Being hard on yourself is not bad, especially if you are doing it for your own sanity. Because putting you in a tight position owed to gambling, would be quite an experience that you won't forget. So before you suffer such scenario, better head to better route rather than follow your gambling desires, where the outcome is not favorable to your stability.

We can't let one loss determine our journey when it comes to gambling. As a gambler you should be aware that loss is inevitable as gambling is all about luck. When we place our games, it now depends on if we are lucky at that time. I wasn't much of a gambler before joining the forum, back then I played more of sport betting than online gambling. I came to know about online casino's here in the forum and it has been an interesting journey. Though it doesn't matter how long you have been gambling, so long you have been able to archive some reasonable amount of winning. The only thing is to remember only to risk what you can afford to loss, and don't take gambling as a job, but for the fun of it.

[finaleshot2016]

Hmm, my gambling journey isn't that great 'cause I'm just a casual gambler, I don't spend a lot on gambling, so I don't win big or lose big. It's just an entertainment platform for me where I can spend money if I'm bored. It's not a biggy so I don't have anything to share but I know the feeling and satisfaction of winning big after many losses like it refreshes you from your red days. For sure, majority here will share the big wins but will forgot those money spent before that win, this concludes that gambling isn't really a thing to make profit.

[Alphakilo]

I have been a preacher for gambling the right way, not in the wrong way. I always pick up, advice, and share tips for gambling right. Every step of the way has been worth it. I have not been an expert gambler but from the times spend gambling I have done it as it should.

I play games that I understand the most . The goal is to win money and not lose . I try my best to be a role model to the ones who look up to me in gambling.

[SmartGold01]

Yes I have win severely though I don't like sharing here as I don't want my gambling activities to be that serious over here, I am just regulating my activities and how others should know about my gambling activities over here and outside this forum. Anyone who must win for long term should learn to control their taste and desire to make winning and, one thing I noticed from gambling is is that the time you so much focused on winning then you get nothing but when you didn't expect any serious winning or not even channeling your efforts on a specific amount of winning then you see it coming that easily.

I had an interesting thought this morning while reminiscing about my gambling journey. I started wondering if it was truly worth it. Then I remembered my big win which I shared here on the forum a while back and I would say, YES, it was worth it. Of course, only if you don’t get carried away in the process. The key is self control! knowing how to walk away and never betting more than you can afford to lose is key
 

Of course getting carried away in gambling is the reason why people lose a lot. Just as you said, self control is the key to a successful gambling habit. Many of us here are a victim of that and we can't deny it. And secondly I cat really say if it actually worth it or not because I haven't win any reasonable amount before despite using all the strategy, but hope I get to win big someday.

So, let’s have a fun discussion. What got you into gambling?

Mine started when my dad usually tell me to go and place bet for him in the offline shop where they usually play the lottery game and I do as he says and that is how I gradually end up knowing about betting and or gambling.

Well, no one suggests to gamble all the time, it is better for us to gamble with what we can afford and this is what is recommended because when we gamble beyond our means, something worse can happen. In my opinion, there are several triggers for people to want to gamble, whether it is seeing or hearing news of big wins from their surroundings or indeed from their own desires, but it is more reasonable for gambling to be done because of themselves from their own interests, not from other people. But in my opinion, it is useless to reflect on gambling that has been done even though there must have been a win before that, but defeat is still the most common thing that happens and there is no way to turn things around if the way is to bet again, that is not right.

So, let’s have a fun discussion. What got you into gambling? For me, it all started when a friend had a major win years ago. That inspired me to give it a try and along the line the things I read on this forum also  helped me learn to play responsibly. Sure, I’ve had my fair share of bad decisions, but overall, I’ve managed to stay in control.

Now, over to you, what was your biggest win? And can you confidently say that you gamble responsibly as it should be?
Wishing us all a major win this weekend

I started gambling on these online gambling websites when I started joining a signature campaign way back 2018 (it was Yolodice back then), and that's the start of my gambling journey. Nothing special, TBH because at the end of the day, I'm just a casual gambler and not spending that much into it as well. Aside from that, I only gamble for fun while watching sports like Basketball.

What's my biggest win? I remember back a few years ago where I risked all of my money into one bet, and luckily, I won. After that, I gambled casually until I doubled my initial capital, and I decided to withdraw half of it. Cut the story short, I lost the money that stayed on my gambling website, and I decided to deposit the money I withdrew again until I lost it as well. Kind of funny, but that's the biggest win that I got. As for responsible gambling, I can confidently say that I am. The mere fact that I can control my spendings when it comes to gambling is enough for me to say that I'm responsible when it comes to gambling.

I hope that most here have limitations when it comes to spendings in gambling. Don't gamble all your funds. Good luck to us all.

I don't know though, there could be big win for me in the past but I can't recall. Anyways, I think I'm still gambling responsibly, not going over my budget. But to be honest, there are days that after I lost, I want to deposit more just last night.

But what I did is just I go and sleep it over, trying to fight it out and I was glad that when I wake up, everything is fine and I was really happy that I was able to get over that mentality. So hopefully, I can still stick to the plan of just gambling with a certain budget and not gambling for more if I lost it.

I have been gambling, maybe just small amounts when I was still very young. I don't know, it's probably because of the environment that I grow up. We are a close knit family so we have my cousins coming over and I will see my parents and aunts and aunties playing card game. And then when I grow up, I go and play with them. But it was just for fun. However, it was just the start of my journey, yeah maybe it was a bad decision to be involved in gambling, but I would say that I managed to control it right now although I will have to admit that I become a addict like 10 years ago.

Not that big amount playing slots, but probably $10k in a slot games, I was down to the last hundreds of dollars but I still go in with max bet until I hit the bonus round and it all wildcards and that's why it give me a good win. I still didn't go home though, (it was in a land base casino), until I have lost a couple of thousands of dollar and my wife insist that we should go home so that we wont' lose everything and still have money in our pocket.

[bitbollo]

I would Just say yes.
It helps to spend dozens of hours of entertainment .
It helps a lot to familiarize with numbers, statica and so on.
What i really cruciale It helps a lot to understand the concept of risk and reward.
Any economic lose was Just the fair price for the lesson learned.

[Kemarit]

Parlay betting I think its my one of the biggest wins. And then the local horse racing as well, wherein we make a pot money with several friends and then we have the best one and expects to pick up those horse that is going to win. So yeah, it was really nostalgic to think bank when we are all into horse racing and having fun betting on one of my friends house with pack of beers, those where the games.

I also do like playing slot games, but just randomly winning like $1,000.00 and up to know, I'm still seeking the grand or the biggest jackpot, but I guess I was just unlucky. Overall, all the years I spent with gambling, I will say that it's worth it, and no regrets even if I lost a lot of money throughout the years.

[Weawant]

It's been quite a long time since I started gambling and for a truth it's been a rollercoaster of emotions,  wins, losses fun nd sometimes sadness but in all it's really worth it s it's a journey I have enjoyed because there have been times when I have been so lucky and I got it all figured out and there has also been times when I aswell lost track too and came back,  Al of this put together made it a worthwhile journey that I'm not regretting for any reason.

[michellee]

Many people interest playing gambling because they want to make money from gambling. They don't realize that make money from gambling is not easy. Only for lucky people who can win the money.

It is normal if we still see many people trying to gambling and win the money because that is the temptation from gambling that attract them to keep coming back to gambling. I am not a success person in gambling. I am still learn more about self control and trying to be a responsible gambler.

My mistake in the past made me learned more about self control so I don't have to face more losses. I don't want to have the bad experience like before so I still use self control, limitation, and trying to be responsible when playing gambling.

Now, over to you, what was your biggest win? And can you confidently say that you gamble responsibly as it should be?

I really can not say here what my biggest win in gambling or was, and this is because it won't possibly make any sense to alot of us, but if I am to answer the question which states if the journey has been worth of for me, my answer would be that that, if we are talking about this in the context of fun, then I would say that the journey so far is worth it, I enjoy gambling, aside of doing it to win money, I also gamble most of the time simply as a way of just having fun.

And coming back to the context of winning money, I did be very honest, the journey has not been worth it at all, and what this means is that, I've actually lost way more than I have overall gained from gambling in terms of money, but this is not a problem to me actually, I usually consider this as just paying for a service, like we do when we go to the movies to have fun, so this is it for me..

For me gambling is not something foreign, I have known gambling since an early age. I mean, gambling in our society in a certain area is commonplace. my first introduction to gambling was card gambling, more precisely traditional gambling played by a group of people. therefore, gambling is something that is very familiar to me personally. in this era we play more online gambling, with the rapid development of technology gambling also follows its development. there are many on offer, even online casinos currently also have their own products and games, regardless of the games developed by the developer. well, for me victory is relative, because every time we win a big win, the interest in winning even more money becomes the motivation that drives us to make bigger bets. well for your other questions are a little unique, because sometimes we are negligent in the gambling we do. as a result we lose big, but the most important thing for me is the responsibility. well, therefore in my opinion it is very rare for gamblers who are truly always disciplined to control themselves. because, in some cases we can be negligent when doing a gambling session.
