Possibly because of this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-primedice-really-provablyfair-253144
I've seen the bad side of gambling a few times. More so recently. I won't mention names, but within the week a person took out 50btc from coinbase without having the money to back it in their bank account.
They then proceeded to gamble with it on a dice website. They thought it was harmless until they lost it all. In a panic they started to contemplate suicide, taking out loans, and etc. They eventually decided to take more BTC out of coinbase without having the money to back it and attempt to win their losses back. Thankfully, for many people's sake, they did indeed win back their 50btc loss, plus a couple btc extra. Still though, that's some destructive behavior and had they lost again who knows what may have happened.
Be careful when gambling- If you cannot handle it, get out while you can.

Its good that you nipped your gambling in the bud. some people gamble away their entire income, even future earnings via loans just because they can't break that cycle. There are people who even don't feed their children properly because they spend it on gambling, its a downward spiral without self control.

I would first like to say that this is NOT a loan request, but rather an attempt to get people to help me recoup my gambling losses.
Everything started at..obviously SD, I was not an active gambler at all, till I sent 0.01 BTC to less than 3000 for the very first time on SD and won 0.21 BTC(I've only played there two or three times, but don't like constantly sending txes with fees), after that I played on PrimeDice and Coinroll.it where I lost the significant amount of my Bitcoins.
At this point if you are like "Ok, but what have you contributed to Bitcoin?", I've solo mined two blocks in 2011 June with a single 5850(5870+5850 on the next)and wrote this(for which I have not received a single donation; you can use the wayback machine to verify I have not changed my donation address) and this and not too while ago exposed this attack vector on PrimeDice and had this idea which I thought of independently from other ideas.
And if now you are like "Ok, have you learned any lessons?", well like many people I'd say yes I did, I've not gambled since then and have blocked every major dice game via the hosts file in Windows.
No sympathy? I am not forcing you to donate, you can just ignore this thread and go about as usual, there are more interesting things happening right now than this
I am the one responsible for losing my BTC and via mining XPM I have only recouped 0.04 BTC total. If the mods think this thread is inappropriate or in the wrong forum, please move it
