Topic: Changed the game you gamble on? share your story. - page 4. (Read 1282 times)

I started gambling with sport betting and till today that is still what I do. Although I have a lot of stories to tell in my gambling experience both good and bad especially when I'm not highly good with my sport predictions. I have gotten numerous wins and losses but this never made me give up on it.

Yeah, but the thing is that those addictions start growing slowly, so you might not realize you are addicted yet but you might be on a trajectory that will end there.

It's hard to know exactly how deep you are in any addiction unless you really take some time and think about it a lot.

I do change game whenever I’m already playing my main game which is blackjack. I usually place bet using the excess amount on my balance on random game show like crazy time to have different excitement before I stop playin. I rarely change game because I’m losing since it’s very hard for me to adjust on new game to have a win streak compared to Blackjack which I have the feeling whenever I have winning streak ride.


Yep, Gambling is not really same with job since they have different purpose. Job is a literal way to earn more in exchange to your skills while gambling is a source of entertainment in exchange for your money. The important part on gambling is you enjoy no matter what is the result that is what we are paying for.


This is debatable since there’s no clear evidence in how to measure luck although I do this most of the time to have a change of environment and try different bonuses. But changing casino doesn’t change your luck unless you are playing games with different RTP.

I'm not really like to change the game that I gamble on, I only change when I'm bored with the music and interface, which usually last for few days. It's similar like when I fell love in a song, I will keep repeat the song until I'm bored.

But either you change the game or not, you will not change the result.

I know few gamblers that have changed their games to something else and most times when this happen it's because they are not winning any thing from the old game they used to play, but the bitter truth is it doesn't matter which game you decide to place bet on, they are all called gambling and it deals with having some good luck around you.

For gamblers, everyday is not going to be a good day, because the only way to make money the right way is to give something back in return, you can develop a new skills and solve peoples problem and they will pay you in return, this is one of the best ways to make money, but gambling is something different entirely.

The only thing I could recommend is switching the online casino you are using to take risks, because some times the luck you get varies on which online casinos you are using, I get better result when I decide to change my casino to a not too old online casino, this is more better than changing games itself, remember that it's you vs the house.

If you really don't want to play slot games, you can just keep playing poker and always avoid slot games because gambling depends on what you want to play and not what other people are playing so it makes you curious to try it. You could try playing slots but because you don't find any interest in playing slots, you will still return to playing poker because that's where you find your adrenaline so you can feel that poker games are more interesting than other gambling games, especially slot games. That's fine if you don't want to move on to other gambling games and I think there are still companies or casinos that still have poker games so that their old fans can still visit those sites to play poker and find what they want. But now, slot games have also gained their fans so slot games are also growing rapidly so that each gambling game has its own fans.

You could look for sites or casinos holding poker competitions so you can immediately join other people to play poker and your opponents will be waiting for you because they want to beat you. Every casino will always follow current developments or trends so that the casino will create attractive promotions to invite more gamblers. And if the game of poker is really becoming a trend, casinos will hold lots of events about poker because casinos know that poker has had its fans for a long time. That is why casinos that know about developing trends always create promotions to get more users. And that means that casinos can expect to get more profits when they can invite many gamblers to gamble at their casinos. People who gamble can adapt themselves to trends so they will try to study a trend so they can take something for themselves.

Once a person is in that state then we cannot really trust in anything that they say, since the purpose behind most of their actions and their words is simply to find a way to keep gambling no matter what.

And I am sure that not even they believe their own lies, however in order to sound convincing they need to at least act as if they do, and that is when they can take advantage of your kindness, as they may ask you for a loan in order to pay for some unexpected expense, but if you really investigate the way they used that money you will find out that they simply gambled that money away.

I started cricket match prediction beting or some kind of score beting. I am quite used to in it because in my family everyone love to watch cricket matches. From my childhood I am watching cricket matches with my family and they teach me what is this what is that how they play etc. Because of watching cricket match from my childhood I am quite used to predict what going to happend. Watching cricket of childhood and noticed every team playing style team strategy etc that experience help me a lot when I started gambling on cricket prediction. In my opinion it's too easy to predict because I think I have a quite experience but I think it's easy to predict a match in my playing strategy of a team. If you want to start gambling then you should try to start from a because if you follow the strategy of a team when you will get some sure match that's why I prefer to do score prediction or match prediction and i usually do it.

Saying and doing are really two different things. What's important is that they wouldn't abandon any post that they have or responsibility for whatever that he/she has on their plate.

If they have neglected any of it, then they are addicted, no matter what they say.

I have a belief, many people around the world have changed their tastes, and it is with poker, poker was very popular before, in fact in the beginnings that I had in the crypto world, there were poker machines and many parts where poker was played in PVP mode, and that was something that was a trend and I actually liked that a lot, personally I think something, people don't care if they have poker or not, but what I see is the most focus and what has changed the game or taste is because of the slots, I see that many people who used to play poker now play the slots very frequently, but how not to play them, yes, I understand that they are very fun, they produce a lot of adrenaline and what can I do? the difference, I may think that tastes have changed, I don't know if it is something good or bad, but it is something that basically the companies can be established to do something good, for the casinos it is good, but I think that the degree of competition now It is very big, so there must be the difference, I would like them to go back to where the times that companies were looking for poker more frequently in tournaments was greater.

Now there is a lot of speculation, because at stake.com they are doing something great for poker, I don't know, but they must have or be preparing something very big for this , and I like it because this way it opens up much more to a community that not only in bitcoaintlk can play poker in PVP mode but in every sense they can make a difference, it may be that things for poker people or young people do not have as much interest because there is almost no opportunity to play on crypto platforms in tournaments or things like that, they are There are few platforms that do it, there was a very good one that I don't know what happened to it, but then when it became Apparent it turned out to be bad, so I think that people have changed their tastes in that way because the casino platforms have concentrated on the basics of their games, they don't do something different, I think that when stake.coim achieves this, the other casinos will start to make their own competition by doing something different for poker.

Yes, that's true.

Also it's worth noting that many addicts will probably say or think that they can stop at any time. It's just that they don't want to stop 

I think it's healthy, with anything really, to stop doing it for a bit, say a couple of months, and see how it goes.

For example, not drinking any alcohol for a couple of months would be great to see how addicted a person is to alcohol. The same with gambling. If you can stop gambling for a couple of months without any issues, probably you don't have an addiction.

But as long as it is still under proper control I think it will not be a problem to try new things even though there are many new games that are fun to try, however new things that you like can become addictive as long as you don't play them excessively and are well controlled, for example limiting your budget and Limit the time to play the games you play, be it old games or new games. Changing new habits just to get rid of feelings of boredom is normal.

So far I also don't have a problem with trying new games to find fun as long as it is still considered entertainment and fun, not for making money, addiction is something that is difficult to cure so this behavior usually occurs if we play games excessively without full limits and control so become addicted, the point is to play wisely and responsibly 

I suppose that I started off with dice games but at some point felt like I needed more variety in my gambling so I tried card games like Blackjack and poker. I usually tend to get bored over time so I like to switch games around. But I have stopped inside a particular circle and I very rarely bet anymore on sports games because it never really was my kind of betting in the first place. Right now its mostly cards.

But you know, likes and dislikes change all the time...

I stopped virtual games and continued with bookings, like placing bets on games that play 90 mins and not those that play less than 1 minute and drain funds mercilessly. My decision to stop virtual games was a very rewarding one as I now spent less time  on betting platforms and got more useful to myself, learned a skill and behaved more responsibly ever since. It was a major weak point which I took great effort to overcome and I reap the rewards till date. I'm still an active gambler, but virtual betting has been ruled out permanently.

And if you have often played that gambling game, you will probably keep returning to that gambling game even if you move to another gambling game. You have liked the gambling game before and have only moved to another game for a while because other factors might make you want to experience gambling in another game. And if the routine continues, you will still return to that gambling game after you finish playing other gambling games.

That's true, when you've become addicted on it and you do it as a routine, that's how it goes when you're into these games and the gambling becomes so intense to the point that you're able to do such on it. When you've been dwelling on it for a very long time, that activity becomes a normal thing and you don't even complain because that's the new normal for you. No reminders will be remembered by that time if there will be folks trying to remind you to control.

That's it, the routine was already there and it's part already of your circulation. Yes, you can move from doing other games but up to each gambler. But if it's already part of your system, you're likely to stay on it and you're gonna like it more.

It depends on each person. If they already have a routine of playing gambling in certain gambling games, they can move to other gambling games, especially if they want to experience a different experience from other gambling games. And some gamblers do it to overcome the boredom they get from gambling on the same game several times. They may want to refresh their minds because they have experienced defeat several times so they need something to relieve boredom. And they move to other gambling games only temporarily and after playing for a while, they will return to the games they are used to. So actually, they just want to experience a different experience from other gambling games so they spend a little time playing this gambling game.

Hard to come up with a point where we are losing a lot on gambling that's why its been discourage to use your hard earned money there so that we will not get hurt financially if we lose some huge amount on the game. That's why its better to quit rather than continue to gamble your faith so we can escape on situation that we want to avoid. But if all is good and you can still able to cope up this activities then maybe do it on minimal manners and just gamble for fun since this is really worth it especially if you enjoy your extra money spent on gambling. I know some other try their luck to earn but if they seek for profit here maybe gambling is not for them since most of the time there emotion will be there number one enemy and might they will lose due to their greed.

I am still playing most of the casino games depending on the mood I am in. For me there is always a phase, where I enjoy one particular game and after several weeks I tend to switch games again so it never gets boring. The first game I ever played in a casino was Roulette, it's the easiest to learn and you play with a lot of people at once. I still remember today how I felt entering the first casino with my friends, we had to dress up in suits and everything looked so elegant. Black Jack was the game I read the most about and I really wanted to play it, but seeing how fast the dealer was giving out cards and the player had to react quickly, I felt nervous and didn't want to embarrass myself. Roulette is definitely my most played game in a casino over all those years and I still enjoy it today. My second most played game is poker, which I got back into during the pandemic lockdowns. My outcomes in all those games are average, I never lost very large sums because I always limit how much money I take with me to the casinos.

I'm someone who generally prefers to gamble with sports betting and slot games which will be different each time. Since I prefer sports betting with mucher than slots I can say that I regularly gamble with sports betting. To talk about my story, unfortunately there is nothing that will change my life in a positive way at least it doesn't end like this.

The year is 2015, when I was a student (at 18). I buy&save Bitcoin with the money I save from my pocket money by doing small jobs on the internet. This way, I had a nice savings and since I got my driver's license I converted all my Bitcoins into cash to buy my first car. However, I left a very small balance of 0.002 Bitcoin in my wallet for gambling and then transferred it to my Cloudbet account. First of all, everything started very well and I started to multiply this amount regularly with sports betting. After a few weeks, I earned 2.15 BTC with sports betting. Because I was winning regularly and had a gambling addiction at the time, a match in live football betting caught my attention. I didn't know either team but the score was 1-1 in the 10th minute. When I checked the betting odds, there was an odds of 1.15 for over 2.5 and since this rate was quite high for the remaining period I thought there might be another goal and placed a bet worth 2 Bitcoins. What was the result? The match ended 1-1 and that would negatively affect my life took place!

I state that this situation negatively affected my life because after this bet (if I won) I was going to withdraw 2 Bitcoins and continue betting with the remaining balance in my account but I couldn't do this. At that time, my only concern was betting regardless of the bet amount. Even though the value of 2 Bitcoins varied between 550-600 USD at the time of this incident, as a real diamond hand I was sure that I would not convert the 2 Bitcoins I earned into cash and that I would save this investment for the long term. This loss resulted in a potential gain of approximately $40,000 on the 2017 bull and a potential gain of $140,000 on the 2021 bull run. Of course, the amount I mentioned might not have helped my life change significantly but maybe today with that money I would own my own business and not be a salaried employee for someone else.

I just checked my Cloudbet bet history to add this bet here but I couldn't add a screenshot because I couldn't find this bet I mentioned because it was too old.
