Have You Ever Felt Like Gambling Was Affecting Your Life Negatively?

Have You Ever Felt Like Gambling Was Affecting Your Life Negatively? And if so how?

I only felt this way the first month I started gambling. I didn't know how to analyze games and bet based on the odds. I went through losing streaks, losing for more than two weeks. That frustrated me to the point where I was constantly thinking about gambling. Even when I was doing other things, I kept thinking about how to recover my lost money. I spent a few weeks in that sad situation.

Until I gathered courage and told myself I would make one last bet and stop gambling for a few years when I had a stronger mind. I did that, stopped gambling for years, and when I started betting again, I no longer had the same problem. I've been betting for over three years and always have fun. I don't see sports betting as a source of profit; on the contrary, I see it as mere entertainment.

This is especially acutely felt in moments of losses. Of course, it is impossible not to notice such feelings.

The feeling that your money is "melting away" and you can't do anything about it (not return it) is perceived extremely negatively in life. Or are there gamblers who have it differently?

Have You Ever Felt Like Gambling Was Affecting Your Life Negatively? And if so how?

If that is the question, my person has not, instead the gambling takes me to positive changes, especially in the economic field, in the future I have not been years, but for this moment it is still normal and positive.

Winning gambling is always synonymous with negative things, both from family, ourselves, friends and as well as economics, but while we understand the meaning of gambling that is actually certainly gambling Can have a positive impact on ourselves, in general, always understand the money to gamble and use gambling winning money professionally.

Gambling is money vs. The game of course if we are not professional in dealing with problems that will occur and vice versa will take us in a profitable direction.

It never had a serious negative impact, but I did feel anxious because I thought too much about losing a lot of money gambling.

Desperate to kill others in order to take their money for gambling, they were already severely addicted and often saw this news before. Not only that, many people desperately took company money to gamble, and there were many more cases like this. So I myself never did anything like that because I still had my sanity when it came to gambling.

[hyudien]

Of course in my early days of gambling, I felt the negative impacts especially on my personal finances. You understand that when a beginner finds a new, exciting place, it's hard to stop especially with the lure of big prizes, and without realizing it, the pleasure drains my wallet. But over time, I realized that this was wrong. I slowly managed my gambling well and only gambled within my budget. Generally, the reason addicts engage in unjustified behavior is because of their views on gambling and the difficulty of escaping the momentary feeling of pleasure.

[Hispo]

I have felt gambling had only negatively affected my life when I was a newbie within the world of gambling, to be honest. I used to spend much time trying to get Satoshis out of faucets in order to gamble, because I did not have much money to gamble, in the end I lost all of it and those severals hours I spent trying to get free Satoshis were for nothing, as I did not even enjoyed those gambling sessions as much.
When I started to gamble with my own money I still was a newbie, I chose to play dices and decided to go for the dumbt setup of high wager and slow multiplier, it only took one single loss for me to lose most of my wager, after that outcome I felt like I needed to chase my losses. I did not, and decided to log out, that was my worst experience and since then I learnt an important lesson about how gambling works and how I am supposed to manage my money for something like that never happen to me again.

[Oluwa-btc]

Gambling really does have limits and recognizing when gambling is gradually becoming treacherous is a bold step even.I can clearly recall my roommate trying to sell out his stuffs and other valuables just so he can raise more funds to gamble.It's a negative influence,and so it is a financial trap.Ensure caution the earlier the better!

This crossed my mind as I was reading another bad news in our country about the bad effects of gambling. So I'm asking fellow gamblers here,

Have You Ever Felt Like Gambling Was Affecting Your Life Negatively? And if so how?

It's just a self-reflection on my end, again, I felt sad that there are young gamblers taking someone's life because of their addiction. And then they disposed of the body just like that, but they surrendered to the authorities after a couple of days that lead to the discovery of the body of the driver. As for my experience, probably the worst for me, is maxing out my credit cards or borrowing money that it takes me sometime to pay. So it's hard to understand what's going in the mind of this 3 persons when they unalive a hapless man and get his money and then gamble.

The only time I feel gambling is affecting my life negatively is if I make a loss regardless of the amount but i ensure not to take too much risk most times because I always try to be myself and how do I do this? By realizing that nothing is certain or guarantee in what I'm doing or what I'm about to do. Killing someone because of gambling is really off the track and only high and addicted gamblers can do this and some of them can be a cultist and at same time a drug addict and these set of people are capable of doing anything to get a gambling money or drug money.

Yes a Gamble addict must have disadvantage in one or two ways, their are some persons that can't spend a day without gambling and don't care either they win or they lose, their major problems is to satisfy that demonic desire that lives in them, I think when gambling gets to the point that one doesn't care about his family any more and focuse More in gambling or a student that is always funds of using his school fees to gamble, it is crystal clear that the game is having some negative effects on them and such person it only takes the grace of God to get them out of it, because at that point it's beyond advice, so I think they best way is to avoid being possessed, in order to this you really have to apply wisdom or else you live to regret it all through the days of your life.

[JunaidAzizi]

Gambling is all about the negative effects, fewer people are taking profits and enjoying their betting time, while most of them are just giving profits to the house. Whenever I lose, I feel this negative effect, my mind blows up, and I feel angry. It's normal because every time you feel something that can affect you, it will make you angry. But the thing is, how can you control yourself and change it into a positive one? Don't lose hope, try again, and if you fail again, then stop, take a break, and come back to recover your losses with some profits. Don't rush, do it calmly, and then leave when you get your profits.

[finaleshot2016]

I know what it felt, and it always remind me that I should be careful on where I spend my money. It's truly affective our lives negatively in a way that you've spent a lot of money and there's no profit to it. Instead of gambling, you should've spent it in other important things like improving your growth. If you ever encountered a huge mistake in gambling, that's the point you'll realize and gives you a hard lesson about value, not just of money, but of time and energy wasted. The regret hits when you realize you could've helped yourself or your family instead, yourself like spending for your own career path or business. You start to see how small decisions can lead to bigger problems if you're not mindful, it stacks up so if you continue to make bad decisions and seeing it as normal day then there's something wrong already. You need to practice the value of each thing and have discipline to yourself, after that you'll be careful and aware that things don't always in favor with you and you'll need to play smart.

[panjul07]

Of course there were many times when I feel that gambling affect me negatively, I wont deny about it because it is normal to happen.
Losing some money is already a negative effect for gambler, losing time is another negative effect of gambling.
Emotional effect can be another thing because sometime we get angry, frustrated and it may affect our relation with others around us.
It was when I was still on my early years of gambling, but as I have learned from my own experiences then I can minimize those possible negative effects.

Yes, I certainly felt it, especially at the beginning, when I didn't have much money to play with, I was losing almost half of my salary because I didn't earn much and I was young and naive. In addition to emptying my wallet, gambling could take up my time, which I spent on it, especially when I stayed up late at night, hoping to win, but it didn't happen. Naturally, all this affected my emotional state and sometimes I was broken, because I thought, well, when will I win and will this end? Now this is no longer the case, I just allocate too little money for it.

[Zigabel]

There was a time I decided to increase the time amd commitment I dedicate to gambling,  so throughout that period I spent more time on the casino sites and I make more and independent research with the hoep that this will be every rewarding because I was going  to win more money and then use that as a means to set up something really good for my self and make more money by repeating the process with which I got the money.

Guess what happened? I crashed out before I could get midway. I maxed out my budget for that exercise and never got into profit,  I was lucky I didn't fall for the temptation of proceeding to further depositing some more money to may more attempts,  I had to realise if I continue,  with time I will get addicted and the effect is one which I don't think I want for my self so I had to stop deducting so much time and rather gamble in a different way that doesn't take so much of my time but produces results as that time consumption was affecting me really bad.

[silpersurfer]

It's very difficult to truly control gambling; there's always an excuse to go back to gambling and gamble uncontrollably. And when it comes to financial losses, it's no surprise. I once suffered a significant loss, blowing a week's salary in one night. I deeply regretted that loss, as I had to dip into my savings to cover my expenses for the next few days.

Another foolish thing I did was spend all night and morning gambling. I ended up missing work the next day, even though it was an important day for me. I was ultimately disciplined. This was clearly a loss, a result of uncontrolled gambling. Fortunately, I'm now more in control of my gambling and only visit the casino once a week.

[rachael9385]

I don't think that I have ever been at such a point before. Only gamblers who don't have discipline and limits get affected by the negative effects of gambling. It's important to have a positive mentality about gambling because it's easy to get influenced by the negative sides of gambling. You must get rid of the thought of trying to get rich with gambling because this is one of the ways your mind can be affected

This is why moderation is advised in everything we do, including gambling. Anyone who constantly encounters losses will naturally feel negatively impacted by gambling. I haven't felt that way. However, I can imagine how frustrating that will feel from the little of such I've experienced in trading. Nobody loves to lose for sure and nobody will feel any negative impact if they're winning. It's from losses that negative affect comes from. I try to manage my risk in such a way I don't get into gloom or despondency because of that.

I've to add quickly that at the beginning, it was a mess and total confusion. Now, I'm in full control of my emotions and all that.

The time that i have been able to feel out something negative is on the time that i have spend up half of my monthly budget of my salary on which it did make out such impact. You wont be able to feel out right away specially when you are on that urge or feeling of wanting to play more on which you cant be able to think that if you do still have money or not. Usually you would be able to have these kind of regrets at the time that you would be have that realized that you dont have any money left or you had been that able to spend up a huge part of your life savings or simply with your overall budget. So far in my case then i have only experienced it once and after that then it didnt happen again. I wont be liking for my family to get broken or separated just because of being that irresponsible husband or father just because of too much gambling. Always be considerate about into the amount that you've been trying to make use. If you are that not good when it comes to emotion handling then its better to quit gambling in the first place. Gambling could give out that negative impact into your life if you wont be that responsible into the actions that you are taking. Gambling isnt bad as long you are just that spending into the amount on which you can afford to lose and never tend to make yourself that being that too optimistic that you can make money with it. Addiction on what most people do end up on having into and with this then you would be losing up that control and on that time happens then you would be having that hard time to resist gambling on which if you wont be having that kind of control then you would be playing no matter what and as long you do have that money then you would be chasing up those loses and trying out to make that breakeven thing. Gamble for fun then you wont be having no issue, gambling for money then you would be ending up miserable and this is something that you do need up to be careful about. Trying out to chase loses and trying to become a winner on what pushes you out into your limit and thats something that you do need to look for because at the time that you would be failing on doing so will surely be costing you not only with money but also it would be costing up that life that you dont want to be that messy or something that negative that do happens.

[uchegod-21]

Gambling has no negative effect on me. This thread brings me to remember a video of a gambler I watched recently on Facebook. The elderly gambler lost his last money on gambling and cried right there like a baby. Even though I felt for him, I just kept asking myself why people take risks they know they are not prepared to face the consequence? I know they will say greed, but do they have to fall for it? Discipline is indeed very important to every gambler. That is the only way they can avoid being caught up with the negative effects of gambling.

Have You Ever Felt Like Gambling Was Affecting Your Life Negatively? And if so how?

Seeing this question makes me feel like the luckiest person ever gambling. From day one till now, I have had no psychological issue with gambling, so it has never and will never affect my life. The reason is that I do not take gambling seriously for any reason, and even if I am damn broke, I knock on another door for it, it can never be gambling. This has helped me not to be desperate for anything in gambling, and in addition, my gambling till date is positive, so I have nothing to worry about.
