But the difference on trading is that profits doesnt materialized that too fast same on gambling where people would find it boring and majority of us is too impatient.
Hence, we treat on differently in between gambling activity and trading which it isnt just right to make out some comparison or similarities between them.
When it comes to finances then its up to someone who would able to manage.Risk is always there and we know that gambling does have higher risk on losing
those funds you do had but if you do look for entertainment or leisure then this wont really be much of an issue.

It is a profit making opportunity for the others but they're not too many at all. Those professionals that have dedicated their lives into gambling and that's their way of living. But for us, who just gambles whenever we want and whatever we feel, we're likely to say that it's not for profit. Once you've won, you'll just take the money and enjoy it and then when you think that you're lucky again, just gamble casually again but unlike the professionals. I agree that if he just did a different activity such as trading, there's a bigger chance that he had profited from it.

It's hard to get out in a situation like what you've had where you have to borrow from friends and get loans just so you can sustain your gambling, it's the worst experience, now you have to work all your life just to repay your debt, you are lucky that you have admitted that you are wrong on doing this some people will still find a way and take on criminal activities just to repay their loans and to sustain their gambling, I hope you can still manage to pay your loan and will not go back to being a compulsive gambler.

I'm sorry death69 but I have to disagree with you, trading isn't a "better place" as you said or a safer place than online casinos. You can lose huge amounts of money when you invest into cyptocurrencies because they are highly volatile and unpredictable. Even for Bitcoin, nobody can guarantee it won't crash in the coming months or even weeks, moreover if you trade with leverage your losses can be as quick as the ones you can get on gambling games.

With life we'll be given opportunities, better we do bigger will be the growth in terms of financial and mentally. Here we are supposed to be good, but the small mistakes make a big change in life. For some people the mistake makes them take a positive note and make life successful and vice versa. So, the way we take it forward gives different result. Right now it is hard to make decisions, however take a break stay strong and surely you'll reach high completing all your debts.

I feel sorry for you. Such a bad situation you involve. I am not going to teach you anything but to sympathize with you. This is bad, awful. No word can describe this situation except desperate.

You know, let’s put it all behind. You can solve the problem. Furthermore, you still have a long life to live ahead. Do not lose your hope. There are many jobs on the internet which can improve your current net. Asking for help (mental help, not money help) is also a good solution that can give you strength. And try to make $2000 in order to have an initial amount for trading. If you think you can trade, just do it. Trading is a better place than any online casino. And final, you can always share your story to us. We are here with you

It is a wrong step to borrow money just to gamble because there have been many incidents like this and they cannot pay back the loan because of the continuous defeat so that this makes him uncontrollable and leaves a burden with large loans, even though we already have a job that remains do not partially to gamble this will result in huge economic losses but in fact, they will never recover money in this gambling will be very difficult.

As much as possible the money used is the remaining savings from other needs and this is not for the main win but for moderate fun trying to recover the lost money.
Sometimes disciplined people always try their best to gamble.

It's not necessary to always play, there are times we need to break and think whether it's worth the time and effort. I prefer to play only whenever there's some event on the casino or just when I have some extra to spend with. There are more things to get busy with and doing gambling always should not be in a priority list.

It was a desperate attempt and no wonder it ended in failure. But in our time, in most cases, bankruptcy does not mean the end of life, you just need to draw the right conclusions and avoid such situations in the future. I hope the author of the topic will cope with this and if someday in the future he will gamble, then only for the sake of entertainment and not for the sake of earning.

It's most preferable to gamble with what you can afford to loose. Gambling has made so many go bankrupt just has Ponzi has made a whole lot of persons reckless and misreable. It would be wiser to stake has you can risk. So as to groom the fun of gambling to the later

Ohhh man, this is, this is really sad story   and yup, you are responsible for what you do, don't end your life, never think of such bad things. Let's live because there are still many good things ahead in this world. I would say what most people would say, a word of encouragement, as long as you're alive, you can do everything you want, making money is one of them. Plus, live to pay off that money, your friends and your family won't want to lose you. Work hard, and I hope you won't gamble again, because I know a lot of people still gamble even though they go through bad things.

Ya, I think it's a huge pressure  It can be a fortune for many

A debt of 35000$ ??
This is incredibly high , I do think that you should have stopped when the figures exceeded a way lesser amount. Well you know at the end of the day it's on you, but I do think that people can now use the Gambling Helplines and take help of the Gamcare and stuff indeed , this would help them in the long run and you can also suspend your account for a short while. People are also paying companies to do the same for them. I do think that generally one should only Gamble when one is able to control their emotions and their spending, gambling without taking care of the consequences is not only disastrous for you but also for everyone else too. Honestly I am happy to see the replies of the people here because people seem to understand how it goes and we have kind of not only responsible but intellegent gamblers on our forum.
Which indeed is a big thing.

Be a responsible person! Don't be ... (you can continue this, I don't wish to offend anyone)!

I don't wish to generalize, but usually, people who behave like this are doing the same thing (of course, in some other way) in all other life aspects... family, friends, jobs... and I can't feel sorry for this kind of people, who just take from everyone, hurt everyone... and in the end, they cry for the money they lost, lives they ruined...

If you wonder how they behave, one word can explain that "reckless"! They don't think about anyone else, except about themselves!

When you learn how to be a responsible person, you will be able to do everything how it should be done! The simple explanation of that should be, you need to know how to behave at a table full of people and alone with women... you need to know what you can and what you can't do! If you recklessly go through life, you will end up alone... because your thinking and your actions will be always the same "reckless", but in the way to suit your selfishness!

After all, I don't believe in "crying over spoiled milk"! If you did that (spoiled the milk), fuck the words and your excuses... the best way to say that you will try your best is by demonstrating that! But not for us here... do that for yourself and your closest ones! Good luck with that! I hope I wasn't too hard...

As long as there is money involved in this kind of activity, you should be responsible as we know that there are possibilities that it might be gone due to a losing streak. It's not a good idea to gamble to pay your debts, it will just harden your life and why you didn't consider the 'what ifs' and just went gambling without checking the consequences.

Sorry for your loss mate but I'm sure this is a good lesson for you to be careful next time because gambling is an easiest way for profit and easiest way to lose money also.

This is a touching story the indebtedness of the OP is very overwhelming l salute his courage for telling us such a story I hope he pays back the debts sooner, this is a advice to gamblers not fall into debt in a bid to win big, in fact I read some stories of some gambling addicts that became  bankrupt after losing all their money sold all their properties and still loss and become depressed.
Personally I had learnt one or two lessons from the comments most importantly I will only  gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose.

So sorry for your losses and situation  , Been there, I've survived such situations in past, and I'm glad that you have realized that you were in the wrong track, it's never ever wise to gamble and recover losses back through it. If you have a hole in your finances because of gambling, try to fill that financial void by talking to friends and families and maybe do a part time job or freelancing to cover up the loss, and by doing this, one will achieve mental peace and will also lessen the greed to win more because then you will value your hard earned money more!

Thanks for sharing your experience, it was long story but worth to read.

For me, that was a big debt and it was as wrong decision to gamble to pay your debt, it didn't work on you, so same with others.
Sometimes we are in that kind of situation where we got greedy because we think of all our payabales but shit happened and  instead of that loan will help us, it only makes our problem worst.

May I ask, did you take that loan with collateral or none?

You aren’t the first and won’t be the last. Gambling is one of the most addictive “drugs” there is and with the rise of crypto casinos it only reaches more people. The ease of it all just increases the dangers. People don’t listen until it is too late.

In my opinion people actually never consider gambling as a form of income in their rational decision-making. It is just their emotional behaviour that lead to a process of finding reasons to gamble. As a consequence if you had your mind full of pictures seeing you as a full-time grinder of course it is legitimate to gamble.

I agree, they make way much more through sponsorships and ads (I mean look a their outfits, they are living billboards!) than playing professionally.
It is a bit sad because after a few successful tournaments they sign their huge contracts with sponsors and then they play just because they have to.
Yes the good old times are over now.
Going back to OP, I do not get what he is looking for by opening the same thread over and over again. I mean it is sad to have lost all that money, but gambling should never be considered as a form of income, ever. It only leads to potential further losses.
