What have you achieved through gambling?

[Humblevirus]

This just makes me remember five years ago when I won $200. I quickly withdrew it. In fact, it was not even the full amount I was supposed to win due to the cashout. It was $200, but the total amount I was supposed to win was $700, and there were still a few games remaining to play. The cashout was $200, and I made the cashout at that period because I didn’t have much money with me. That is how I went ahead to cash out the bet.

When I cashed out the $200, I was about to buy a phone because the phone I was using was giving me some headaches. I withdrew the money and went straight to where they were selling phones. I used about $190 to buy a phone, and I was able to use the phone for three years before it was stolen.The phone is what I seriously remember achieving with the money I won from gambling. It is not that I don’t win sometimes, but the reason is that I don’t like to withdraw again because I always feel the money is not a big amount that I can use to buy something good. However, sometimes if I win, I just withdraw it and spend it, since it is not that big of an amount.

I once won like $3k in a slot games, the thing is that I'm down to my last money, but still continue and go and bet $10.00 a spin until I have a big multiplier and that winning is even bigger than their jackpot. And I immediately go and and it was a hand pay. I just play with small money after that, maybe around $200.00 and then just go home. First thing I do is to threat my family for a good and well deserving dinner with some close friends. And then when we go home, we had a few rounds of beer and just drink till the early morning. Basically just enjoying that money and have fun.

In my opinion i think it's better to spend  your wins on something you would enjoy instead of losing it all back to gambling, personally I would rather put that money won into investment or perhaps buying a new gadget that can help me do my activities easily without stress. Winning 3k in a slot game is quite huge most gamblers win such an amount and end up losing all of it.

That is why it is important to be content here, when we risk all our money in the hope of achieving a big win, the possibility of losing it all increases, and if we lose everything instead of gaining more as a result of this risk, our mental state will be worse. So making such a decision is undoubtedly a very big mistake, gambling is something where we have to face losses most of the time, so instead of taking excessive risks, we should be content with less, because excessive activity here will definitely lead us to more losses.

This can be a very good way where after winning a large amount of money from gambling, if you invest it without unnecessary expenses, there is a possibility of getting profit from it for a long time. Most gamblers spend that money on entertainment after winning a large amount of money. But it would also be a very wise thing to buy any asset with the money. If a gambler starts investing in BTC with some of the profits from gambling regularly, it is also possible to get much more profit after a long time.

I am not any serious gambler and have not really participated in any serious gambling game so if you ask me what I have achieved through gambling, I can only talk about what I’ve learned through watching my friends or what I’ve learned through reading replies and stories shared majorly on this platform. Through my friends, I’ve learned that gambling can be so addictive like a drug though not as chronic as a drug addiction but can be highly addictive too to the point that if someone is not gambling they feel so disturbed and desperate to engage in it.

The part that also surprises me with one of my friends is, this guy is always complaining that he doesn’t have enough money to handle this or that issue but immediately he’s able to get money, the next thing that comes to his brain is gambling and his issue used to make me imagine how deep gambling can eat someone up. But another thing I’ve also been able to learn in the process is how to control my emotions too because I’ve also realized that the level at which you are able to control your emotions will greatly determine how much you get addicted or how well you control your addiction.

Indeed you have learned so much from the system in recent time but it's even more amazing that you were able to learn all this without having a practical experience of it unlike some other people that always want to go through it before learning the hard way.

However Gambling is a great teacher and full of experience and offcourse whoever that has gamble before will understand what am trying to say in essence, gambling has thought me strick discipline and bankroll management, through my years of experience in gambling i have understand that not all that glitters are gold therefore you shouldn't be easily moved by huge offer or try chasing things you aren't sure of else you become a potential victim.

But most gamblers doesn't have such mindset, as they will still decide to reinvest it back to gambling, thinking they can still win big, even though they are aware that gambling is unpredictable in nature, yet they want to give it a trial and this can cause them regret, which is why people are ought to always be satisfied with any amount they win in gambling and not to be expecting to have big wins when they can't get what they always want, having the understanding to invest in other with the money they win from gambling can make them to be successful in life through the knowledge they have acquired that gambling can't not make them rich.

I've long understood the need to lower my expectations when gambling, because if I don't, we'll keep wanting more and more, and it's unclear how long this will last. Typically, gamblers who want more and can't control their risk eventually become addicted to gambling and huge bets, putting everything they have into luck. I don't want luck to decide the outcome of my life, because if I'm unlucky, I'll simply have to find a better job to pay off my debts. I'll still gamble sparingly and bet on my favorite team only if, after analyzing my bets, I'm confident I have an advantage over other players.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I've seen people and as well heard about people who doesn't view gambling as fun but as a business, they literally plan and strategies themselves in such a way that they profit at the end of the week. When such gambler spend his time forecasting games, you going see a different energy when it comes to that, the focus is projected and every disturbance is cleared out.

For me, that's the most correct way if we want to see benefits from the game, and although it's a bit difficult, I would say that the game can be profitable when we obtain small, long-term gains, but it always happens that the player wants to obtain very quick results and cannot wait the necessary time; that's what happens, impatience kills all strategy.

This is not widely understood because most gamblers always make it the opposite where they always try to raise their expectations in gambling and some even think that gambling can make a difference to their fate.
We can still see this especially for those who have a poor financial level who make the hope that by gambling and winning it can increase the finances they have.
In addition, in some cases there are a lot of people who try to return the defeat they felt before with the next gambling which means they also still impose a big expectation that the defeat that occurred is not to be used as a lesson but to be used as a reference that they must win at least equal to the previous defeat which makes them behave aggressively with the gambling done.

This is not new but when we try to stop that thinking then at least we can minimize ourselves not to be too fixated on big expectations in gambling and addiction in gambling.

If you think if you win in gambling you will still bet again since the first one favour you doesn't mean the other one will comes so is better when you cashout in gambling is better you should enjoy the profit you gain and give a break before you can risk another one but sometimes people think since he works they will risk high and that is when the game can cut and they will start o regret why playing for the second term gambling is always a risk thing and if you don't have funds enough don't try to risk because you can probably lose everything if he didn't favour you that why some says is the same as trading but is not the same but everyone have is on risk and similar to each other, so think wisely before staking huge money in bet.

Most times gamblers don't make use of their winning very well. They either spent it lavishly or return it back to bookmakers. This majorly happens to greedy gamblers who believe they can  make fortune from gambling.

OP, I only gamble for fun, so I do not really take gambling that seriously because of its nature. The truth is that I just gamble for fun and that's all. Sometimes, I win and also sometimes I lose games, but overall, I have lost games more than I win, and I do not think about it because I do not want it to get over me or me being emotional about it, so I just do not give thought to what I achieve from gambling or not. I just play for the fun I enjoy from the games I love playing thats all, and nothing much.

Most people just play for fun and enjoy the game. We do not really have to give too much attention to gambling if we don't want it to affect our mental state. There are those who also play just like that but are lucky enough to win something more than they expected out of their little staking, and the winnings have been put to good use, which is what they can see as an achievement gotten through gambling.

When people follow the rules and within their means, gambling will not have a major negative impact on them. The problem starts when a person starts looking at gambling as a way to achieve success. When people win small amounts occasionally, they get more excited, and because of this excitement, they become overconfident and they increase the amount they play, and this is their biggest weakness and irresponsibility. This is what they need to learn to control, gambling can sometimes give results, but most of the time it will produce moral results and this is why it is not right to think of it as a source of permanent income or a sure income strategy.

It is not a new thing anymore about gambling addiction, people now see it as a norm because they gamble so often that they do not bother when they record losses as it is just a regular thing which is not so. Till gamblers follow or abides to the gambling code of engagement and principles, they would still continue to gamble without minding the fact that they are already addicted d that alone is a case on its own.

I do concur with these arguments. Gambling, to a great deal of individuals is just entertainment and when one handles it as such, it will tend to remain harmless. The actual issue will start when a person will start to regard it as a good source of income or a way to success. Minor success can easily breed overconfidence which prompts to take bigger risk and cause greater losses. This is where discipline is involved. In my case, it is experience and self-control largely what I have gained as a result of gambling. I have been taught that it is better to control emotions and create boundaries instead of pursue profits. There are no clear boundaries and, as a result, it is easy to fall into bad habits.

Imagine doing a business or a job that you?re not even sure if you?ll get some income or paid at the end of the day. I?m not sure anyone would be willing to do that kinda job or go into that kinda business because the purpose of a job is to earn some money at the end of the day and the assurance that you?ll get your paycheck at the end of the day, week or month makes it even more assuring. But we all know this isn?t the case with gambling because nothing is certain and everything is about luck and chances.

In fact, this could never be a job because working and not having the security of having a return would be more of a gamble, in my opinion, than a job. This is why we shouldn't trust income from gambling, because it could be there, it could also not be there.

I am happy with what is presented here. To most individuals gambling is all about entertainment and when taken as such, it tends to remain amusing. Losing and winning is also an experience and as long as one plays within his or her comfort zone, then it does not necessarily affect the mental state. The issue begins when gambling is regarded as a means of attaining economic prosperity. Minor victories may give the illusion of overconfidence, and individuals may raise their bet and make more unjustified risks. To me, being able to remain disciplined, self-contained and know when to quit is the true accomplishment in the game of gambling.

I’m not sure if there’s even supposed to be a thing as gambling profits or profits from gambling. Every win from gambling no matter how big or small should be considered as nothing more but an prize for winning a game and not some kind of a profit, because the moment we begin to see it as a profit, we might potentially start to either use it to supplement our jobs or even think of replacing it and this as we know can have several consequences.

As it should be on which gambling should be done for the sake of fun and entertainment nothingless. People do really just that try out the other way around on which is very wrong. This is the main reason on why gamblers do messed up their lives just because they've been that becoming that too delusional. Gambling is just that for the sake of fun and entertainment or leisure on which it is just that right that you should be only spending into the amount that you can afford to lose. Achieving something from gambling then it should be the fun  that you are that be able to obtain and not on trying out to think that you would be able to get some huge winnings to buy up something. Never ever having that kind of mentality on trying out to make money with gambling because we do know that once you do have that kind of mindset then it would be bringing out that kind of desperation.
