Topic: An interesting story and experience of a gambler - page 10. (Read 1617 times)

If it is on a winning position then that's clearly greed. Self discipline will indeed aid this however it is the hardest thing to imply to oneself, which makes this a bit understandable. Personally, I am guilty of such thing, there are times I would be desiring to earn more than to settle with a small profit, then end up with a complete loss but that's gambling. It will never be too late to make a change for yourself, for the betterment, all you need is to have the initiative or else, quit gambling because in the long run you'd more likely just be in deep loss.
Will be absurd to think that he's addicted already. Would be better to assume that he's just having his "wants" more than his "needs" if it causes him problem already. But I agree with the idea that he might got used of buying anything that crosses his mind because of confidence that he will again win in gambling. However, as we all know, gambling doesn't work that way. You may win sometimes but it won't always be happening, or should I say not too often that it will outnumber the tendency that you'd lose.

I won't hope that he will stop gambling. But the stereo and Xbox will not be lost in his possession if it's unboxed or else he might think of selling those items to gamble again.

If there is something of a souvenir to keep from the money he won upon betting $35 up to 1900x, it's the stereo and the Xbox. There is more to music and games since it diverts his attention. Who knows he gets more addicted to Xbox games than the porn he watches every day.

That guy might have a shopping addiction if he spends that much on the things he wants, but I think it's not a bad alternative if he'll be gambling his winning at some point. It reminds me of an old topic mentioning your winnings and spending them before it's too late.

The lucky win probably gave him a lot of confidence and maybe that's why he couldn't resist playing again. I've experienced that same situation, and eventually, you could be giving back your winnings within a short time if you start chasing your losses.

There is a statement he made there that "No matter how much you win you can never get satisfied". Yes this is a result of not being able to control himself, like as I always said whenever you have the first winning its just like giving you a free ticket to keep gambling because you would have this mindset that there are other possible huge luck out there you could win higher than what you have won. Of curse there is every possibility that you could win higher or above what you had won before but have you also consider the other side of yourself what it's causing towards your life because to me, when you gamble and win it increases your interest to keep gambling the more at this point you won't know when you might got sink in gambling addictions.

Lolz, you got me rolling 🤣 on the floor by your comment, will he opening the boxes and enjoying the music and Xbox games stop his addiction to gambling?

I personally think that this gambler has gone far in terms of being addicted to gambling, and one thing about addiction in something is, when it comes, one completely loses interest in every other thing, it is not my wish for him, but I highly doubt he won't end up selling all of those gadgets and items just to raise money to gamble, possibly when he must have lost his entire balance totally.

In the nutshell, opening and using this items won't help him heal from his addiction to gambling, and beside, this things night as well be things he already has, he just bought this ones because of the large amount of money that entered his hands and he doesn't know what to do with it - I don't know if this dude knows about crypto, he should invest the money on bitcoin.

We should learn that winning in gambling is not possible every day. Luck won't help me every day. If one gets such a win I think one should enjoy that win as well as utilize it properly. I have seen some gamblers that after they win in gambling they spend that money in some useless places and after few days when they lose in gambling again they cannot manage the money. He has to take help from others for money. Although the person you mentioned spent on his own needs and some other places as well but in my opinion he should have spent on some pro active work. If a gambler invests his winnings in an investment platform, he can get a certain amount of money from it, which further contributes to his gambling.

The problem is that the person is gambling to make profit, and maybe take gambling as his job. This was the reason why he spends extravagantly, and keep on gambling due to greed without thinking of quitting. He is regretting now because he feels there is no hope in life anymore and gamble was his only hope. Losing such huge amount frustrated him. One thing that I understand with spending is that, if you get the money without effort, you will spend it on stuffs that you don't need because you just feel like spending, believing more money is coming.

This is why one should not think of making profit from gamble but see it as fun, and if you become lucky and win, don't think that you will be lucky again. This will make you use the money wisely, and you will not gamble hoping to hit it big again, because this is where the problem lies. You win small or big and you are not satisfied, you will lose bigger instead.

This is a case of multiple addictions in action because from the look of things, it seems that the gambler or victim seems to be out of control and he really needs some quick help if not, alot could go wrong with him at the end of the day because as it is, he is going to lose everything until his entire balance becomes zero at the end of the day.

So the best thing for him to do right now is to take a break from gambling for a while and try to forget about the entire figures and accept the fact that casino always wins.

That's what you called greed, the person in the post experience the luxurious life of having more money but the thing is he didn't think much and spend a alot in so many things, it can't be helped maybe he is just fullfilling his childhood wants or dream but the thing is the most practical is that the person in the post should have some money for investment or anything that could make his money grow, execpt gambling, see that example because of the taste of winning a lot of money drive him to gamble more in order to win again, little they know is that the more you have the taste of winning in gambling the more you will want to bet more, see rhe example, from a lot of money to none, its because they didn't learn to control themselves and let the greed and desire take over and that is a common mistakes fron those new in gambling.

indeed, an interesting story, lots of it keeps popping up on Reddit. He's an insecure gambler. Never had a target or plan. That's why he had to try again after his first big win. If he had a plan of doing something meaningful with that money, like starting up a business, he may have been busy trying to manage his money. Not saying giving to charity is wrong, as he did. But he wasn't sure of himself being financially stable, before making all those expenses. Now he's got no money, which shows he made the wrong choices or decisions. He moved from living large to not living at all.

That's the psychological aspect of gambling, going back to invest in what gave us the money, is a natural human behavior. He wasn't prepared to manage his moves in the last session which took long hours. And I think he got carried away by the losing streak. Those losses made him unsure of what he was actually doing, so he kept on going since some bucks were left. I think he'd convert those tech items to cash and use it to gamble again. The house takes back everything. Even he could convince his mom to lend him some funds, to try his luck. I don't think he is stopping soon; the money has been tested and it seems good to him. Moving back to square zero won't sit right with any gambler after winning as big as the player in the Op.

A lucky gambler that can’t appreciate his won but rather focus only on his losses which is just his profit from his first huge mean.

The subject is obviously doesn’t have contentment on his life that’s why he keeps chasing win after win despite he already got super lucky streak. He also give money to his mom and charity plus the things he purchased which in total is already above his original bankroll that still worthy to celebrate not to sulk.

This guy shouldn’t gamble because no luck in the world can satisfy his greediness since he even feel regretful despite he is still in profit overall.

The good thing that he had done is that he had at least make  those winnings been partitioned on which he had given some money into his mom, he had purchased some stuffs lie gaming consoles
and other things which he does like, he did even donate to charity but the biggest mistake he had is that believing about giving or doing something good could bring out luck factor on which its
really that very wrong because this isnt how luck chance would really be increased. Also, if you donate then dont expect something in return because you would really be just that blaming God in the end of the line.  . Greed is never been that something could be removed into a human being. As long you are really that knowing that you could make money even more then you would really be doing
your best on trying out to achieve something bigger on what you had hit up before on which it is really that very wrong approach specially on gambling.

He can sell those unopened boxes the stereo and xbox if he wants to but it also sounds like he doesn't wanna do that. That's why he was able to tell the story and so he is trying to control himself. But what he had no control over was the urge to open another account. And then he goes over to this reddit r/gambling for help, that's the kind of gambler he is.

A person doesn't really realize the gravity until it's too late. It's his battle and no matter what advice is given to him, those unopened boxes will tempt him. He should open it already and enjoy the games and music.

He should know that he should not think about it. This can cause depression and thinking his life opportunity has been lost. But he should not think about it and understand more about life so that he will begin to find joy and happiness again.

This is common to gamblers. If they win, they will want to win more and continuing gambling. But only the experienced gamblers know they should not use the money to gamble or to use the right but very small amount for gambling. It would have been better if he use the money to establish a business or use it to hold assets.

We can not give this type of conclusion because he earned huge amount of money like within a short period of time and that can make him spend little amount of the money on what he just wish without thinking twice.

Hi everyone,

So, like few hour ago, I was scrolling through my reddit feed and found a post that was made on one of the gambling channels on the platform, I opened the post to read and behold, it was a gambler telling his own story and experience in gambling, I found it quite interesting to read, plus his experiences could also serve as a valuable lesson to some of us here, so, I thought I should share it.

Read the whole story in the shot I post below, you can also click the shot to view the original post on reddit, and as well read reddit users comments on the post..



What exactly do you think we call this type of gambler? For he is not only addicted to gambling, but he seem to be also addicted to buying stuffs he obviously does not need, and absolutely not interested in..

Again, alot of money can be made through gambling if one is lucky, but it also can destroy the person if he or she does not, or fail to control him or herself..
Anyways, lets discuss about this, feel free to put your comments below.
