What have you achieved through gambling?

[noorman0]

The lesson and realization that gambling is truly for fun, especially considering my betting journal so far haven't been great.

-snip-
There are people who barely withdraw their money from the gambling site,

I'm one of those people and don't really expect anything from winning other than saving some of my income for next gamble. I don't want to open up to the small chance that I might think, "Maybe I'll get lucky there" when I'm down. While the urge to cash in on my winnings is tempting, fortunately, it doesn't happen often.

Sorry for the situation gambling has placed you but you are very courageous to have identified that stopping now would help you not to go further into debt because that's what happens when you take more loan just to keep satisfying your gambling activities. If you know those areas you go rust could lead you to gambling you just need to totally stay away from them, try to clear your debit and focus on doingore between things with your money since you are not being lucky when you gamble.

My mother always told me as a young child that anything sweet would bring a bitter experience if abused. Gambling could bring exciting experiences when it is done moderately. However, it could have negative consequences if not handled with care.

Taking loans to gamble shows an advanced stage of gambling addiction. This could not just affect finance, but relationships at work and family. It takes courage for people to accept that they need help. And the first step towards recovery is to accept the problem and seek means to stop gambling irresponsibly.

As for me , I have not really won big money while gambling, I don't even win regularly, but each time I win, I withdraw the money from the gambling site and use it for myself and I still believe I will win big someday.
We have gamblers who are very lucky, they have won life changing bet, and some would use that money judiciously and some persons might not be able to utilize their money very well.
Accummulating your money in a betting site for one reason or the other is just very wrong, their is no guarantee to win all the time, therefore, it is necessary to withdraw your wins out of betting site, otherwise, you will definitely loose it to the gambling site.

What I achieved was extra income for many years, which helped me build up my investments. I spent more than a decade playing online poker practically every day, and the profits were the first way I diversified my income. In the end, I quit because I got bored, and I didn't need the money as much anymore, having reached a reasonable net worth and a good incomes.

[SFR10]

I wanna know if you gamble and win, do you withdraw the money and use it for something more productive at home? Do you spend money on your family if you eventually wine?

I do withdraw my money after a few wins, but it goes straight back to the funds I've reserved for gambling and I only do it to have it under my control ^{[even if I can afford to lose it]}... These funds are solely for having fun, so they don't affect funds dedicated to my family & other stuff ^{[if you gamble with those kinds of funds, you should STOP]}.

Lucky you for having a brilliant mind that you can use on poker which I agree that it’s a perfect game if you have the skills since it’s a PVP. You will have a +EV on most of your games if your opponent skills is always inferior to yours.

As for me, My only achievement on gambling are those occasional huge hits on slot games which I use to purchase my gaming console specifically Nintendo Switch and PS4 but I lose a lot after my won so in the end it’s just my money too that I advance using casino profit but give it back again on the casino later on.

We have been hearing people talks about how much they had made or how much they have lost while gambling. I wanna know if you gamble and win, do you withdraw the money and use it for something more productive at home? Do you spend money on your family if you eventually wine?
There are people who barely withdraw their money from the gambling site, Instead they would say they want to accumulate it till it gets to what they wanted, but at some point they wouldn't know when the casino gradually takes back their winning from the user and before such person could realize is already late. If it was you what would you do?

I've achieved learning the lesson on gambling early in life by playing and winning big , or at least what is considered a large amount of money in middleschool or hs but then I lost it all in a roller coaster of a night on a cruise ship when I was 16. What a ride that was, sailing at sea! It was something from a movie, I walked in and nobody questioned me because I was tall .... as soon as I walked by the crapps dice table some butler took my drink order and gave me a bud light on the house and I stood there watching people throwing dice and laughing and all dressed up. It really was quite the scene. Thinking back on it I look at the memory fondly, because the lesson I learned there was worth far more than the money I lost was worth ... - the amount was $180 at the time. I took a $10 bill all the way up to $180 as a kid and then lost it all in the same night. And then I went to try and get with girls on the ship lol

Once you would be able to experience some disaster while early or young then you would be making up some realizations but not all would be that having that kind of thinking and due on being immature or to those people who are just young will be that be mindful about on the consequences and thats why they would be continuing it out no matter what until they wont be able to gamble literally just because they dont have any more money to spent. So it will be that up to you on how you would be making out those controls in the end of the day. Gambling is just that for the sake of fun and entertainment and its not something that you would be relying on it when it comes on making money. Achieving something? Thinking on how you would be able to benefit from it? This would be making out that kind of desperation on which it will be causing up that mistakes and errors in regarding into the actions you are taking.

Always be sure that you are still always in control when it comes to money spending because on the moment that you would neglect out even on the slightest when it comes to spending then you are just that basically putting up yourself on potential trouble.

Casino is a business, so they always ensure that they are ahead than their customers. That being said, majority of those who play gambling are losers. It is just that in gambling, one still have the chance to win if they won't quit immediately and this is where some can brag about it and that they use it to buy or achieve something.

If we have enough experience in gambling, then we must know if the casino or the game won't give us further winnings but most of the time we are only being an ignorant or greedy to still continue playing on. As for me, there are instances that I withdrew on time but save the money yet on my purse. IDK, maybe I think the money is still small but at some point, my urge to play gambling just ruins up my plan. Sigh !!!

IMHO, that's a bad idea that if you accumulate your money through a casino and leave it there without any plans of withdrawing it. That's because you'll never know how you're going to spend that money and when you have accumulated certain amount of money, that's the time that you should start withdrawing it and spend it for the things like you wanna do or have. The tendency of losing it easily to the casino is very big because it's already there and it's possible that will encourage you to gamble more until you ran out of balance there.

[Rockstarguy]

Gambling is a game of fun that can't be predicted, and it is not a do-or-die affair that one needs to win to achieve something through it. This mentality of achieving in gambling can even lead one to gamble with much destruction.

It is just better to gamble with a clear mind, and if you win big in gambling, then it is good luck, which you can spend on things that are of value and memorable. Don't be too desperate to win by all means; it is better to rely on luck.

[Mate2237]

Before anyone can be talking about doing something with his casino winning, then such a person should have been lucky and win big on gambling which is not too easy to come by, if not the truth is that you can't do anything meaningful with your winning from gambling this is because, ninety nine percent of gamblers are actually losing and is just managing to try and recover their money from gambling.


But this is actually a very important question because while gambling it's important that we do something good and reasonable with our winning when eventually it comes and we hit the jackpot. This is because, we can from time to time recall back and remember that this is what I get while gambling. Using your winnings from gambling to buying property is one thing that should be encouraged.

I think those who have accumulated money in casinos they definitely regretted later because many people may gamble without ‍awareness, you will not get the opportunity to use that money later. I used to deposit money in casinos many times in order to increase my bankroll but after depositing the money I was not able to keep myself stable. Even though I had many plans, none of those plans were possible to be implemented. That is why now I try to withdraw the money quickly when I win. If I have any financial need, I give the highest priority to meet that need. Those who are new gamblers may have a wrong idea about accumulating money in casinos which should definitely be avoided.

I think gambling success used to be private because only people that lose to gambling woefully do come here to confess that they lose money due to how they became addicted to the gambling, nobody has come here to share his success story related to gambling yet people are betting everyday and gambling and casino platforms keeps coming up daily and all of them are having customers because we are also seeing a lot of complains when withdrawals are being denied to some customers.

However, in my opinion, since most family members don’t support gambling, they sees it a waste of time and money at the same time, then why showing or using the money you got from gambling to them? Even if you willingly want to use the money for your family, you can just not disclose it to them that the money is gotten from gambling.

I do not place a high value on gambling profit. The profit gained from gambling is to cover little expenses and bills that come along the way, not to do something big. Those people who got lucky to hit the jackpot can boast of running a project from start to end using the profit. As for me, I am okay with the amount I get from betting. If I need money to achieve something meaningful in life, I'll work for it.

You've learned it because if you're not going to use that money you've won and you just keep it there. You'll see yourself that you've got nothing left anymore. And that's why if you're going to make some bets and you plan on staying for longer, just allot on how much it will be for you to stay there. Because not all that you've got there will be withdrawn later but, if you wish to take all of it, much better. Just deposit again when you're about to gamble and you want to put some specific bets on different games you like.

What I get from gambling is entertainment, and I don't expect anything more from gambling than entertainment. If I expect anything more from gambling than entertainment, I can become greedy, which makes it challenging to maintain self-control. I always gamble with money I can afford to lose, so that I can enjoy the entertainment no matter what the outcome. Gambling is essentially entertainment, and expecting more than that is not right, which means the risks can be multiplied.

I think this is cool but there are still people that expect and hope to do something great with any winning they will have regardless of the amount but sometimes even when they win the money they won't do anything reasonable or meaningful with the win and sometimes they end up squandering it in same gamble and regret later. And I think the best thing is what you just said, whenever there is a win if it is not that huge you use it to handle some challenge at that point in time and if there is non you enjoy yourself so you don't spend it in gambling later

I have changed my phone from money I got from gambling and that is the phone I'm still using this year. I bought the phon last year. It was from a bet I didn't even expect, actually I expected it but if someone told me that day that I was going to change my device, I will say it's a lie but it did happen. It was from the money I bought some cloth, all that happened because I have this feelings that anytime you make money from gambling, we spend it recklessly.

In everything you do in gambling, as you are making money make sure you are using it to do something. If you are doing business, increase and expand your business with that money, the day you don't have money to have to make a bet, you will have that as a source to make bet. Some people use to do gambling but today are not gambling anymore, the money they made from gambling is what they are using for business and growing exponentially.

I didn't win much and spent almost everything on trivial things. However, this isn't important to me: I understand that my current gambling skills aren't sufficient to win long-term. Frankly, 90% or even 99% of gamblers lack such exceptional skills. I'm more interested in studying the mechanics and paradoxes of probability associated with gambling. This is much more interesting than random small wins.

Honestly I don’t even need to wait first until I have managed to accumulate a sizable amount of money first before I start withdrawing. As long as it’s a win and it’s withdrawable, I don’t see any point leaving it there. A win is a win, no matter how small or how big it is and for me, every win should be withdrawn, even if you’ll continue playing, it should be from your bankroll balance and not your win. This mindset and approach has helped me enjoy my wins, rather than just dumping it back into the casino.
