Topic: Damaged salary - page 2. (Read 556 times)

There is always a solution to that, borrow money if you already loss your salary.

I experience that in the past already, I have my salary by the end of the money and I really need to gamble because of the urge, so I decided to loan my ATM card to a certain lender and promise to pay the loan when my salary came out by the end of the month, unfortunately, I also loss that borrowed amount so basically I am left with nothing by the end of the month since I promise to pay, what I did is just ask for a loan again and that time it will be long term one, I guess that was for 6 months equal amortization and the lender agrees, but the feeling is not good if you are paying on a monthly basis on the amount that you even didn't enjoy.

lesson learned, never gamble what you can't afford to lose, and always be a discipline gambler.

Lossing all your paycheck which I assume your whole month salary is somehow a pain in the ass, but let's look at the bright side of it, considering there are people who just lost everything (car, house, and family) not just in a single stake, but an overall total amount of losses. Consider it lucky if you still feel remorse after lossing a paycheck than lossing everything in the long term. That's a scenario to ponder.



If you were able to read the whole thread you will easily notice the OP did clarified his statement above to relate everything in gambling.

Important advice: invest/gamble with amount you can afford to lose. Bitcoin/Crypto trading is a better than typical gambling though (especially luck-based gambling). Holding is one of the things that make it better, assuming that holding is not possible in gambling... So the "hold" probably don't apply in gambling discussion

I think every gambler has experience this sort of "all-in" in gambling, it depends on how you're going to react on it. Others find a way to get over it on a day, while others takes time, learn from their lesson and vow not to experienced it again. I'm also on the same predicated before, lost my months' salary in casino, and soon it was really a hard lessons for me not to gambler all my money, and I understand what others are saying, "play what you can afford to lose".

Yep, sadly this can happen when you lack experience.
I know exactly how is this, from my experience.


If you have a family you know that any action, good or bad, has its consequences.
Family can help. Friends can help too. Maybe some can lend you some money here and there to loosen the burden until the next paycheck.
Usually one month is not enough to compensate the loss, especially if others also depend on that money (in my case at least that was not the case, so your situation is more difficult than mine was). So you'll need help (you can also see it as a test, to see who is friend and who is just buddy). Maybe ask your boss give you some money in advance.

Getting nervous and depressed is normal, between certain limits (!), but you have to think on solutions, that'll be a first step.


Play more with your kids if you have. Go out more. Go to events, for example sport events. You may find some where you don't have to pay to enter. Concentrating on the game/contest can take your mind off from your problems for a while. Do sports until you get too tired to even think. Go fishing if you have friends to go with (don't go alone, because then you'll be alone with your thoughts). A risky option would be to dive into computer games, but then you may neglect your family, and that's also not OK.

Basically avoid staying alone with your thoughts. If you didn't manage that and you're alone, simply do sport if you have nothing better to do.

I have been in such situation only one time in my life when I gambled all the money I had and lost all of them.The feeling is a great sadness that surrounds you and you think that all is lost.After staying laid down on bed for several hours I borrowed some money from a friend of mine and continued my life routine.I thought a lot and decided to always set a small bankroll to gamble which I still do this day.That situation helped me to not become addicted like many others.

If I were you OP, I will not feel regret when I get lose or something to make decisions that make me lose. First, I only gamble that I can afford to lose not just my entire balance that comes from my salary. Second, I'm strick on my decision of what I had decided to stake, win or lose it would be fine. Think first your family or even your self for the daily budget needs and then, set amount if you have extra money to gamble. Of course, if all your salary will lose from gambling you will feel depressed.

Overall, it needs self-control and self-discipline.

In the first case you should never risk your whole salary in gambling. That's the silly mistake which most of the gamblers make. If the gambler is unable to understand the risk in gambling, he should not be playing it . I normally try to gamble with a limited amount and it is a very small portion of my total earning, and in this way even if i lost the amount, it will not have much effect on my overall life and income.

This topic should be in the altcoin section and maybe what he means by a paycheck is the bounty rewards which he should receive but miss the opportunity because of some unknown reasons, I experienced that on so many occasions I missed a lot of bounty rewards, because they announced when bounty hunters are not aware.

Yeah, Relax and unwind is the best way to cool off the stress of losing in gambling. There is a tendency to lose more if a person keeps gambling in an unstable state of mind which is actually what
the casino wants because more human error is present at that condition. In my own way, I play games that I love like DOTA and Legend of Zelda every time I lose significant amounts.
I already tried going on vacation after the big loss but it didn't work. It always breaks my mood every time I remember it so I always end up being scolded by my girlfriend for killing the vacation mood.

honestly I have never experienced anything like what happened to the OP, my salary has been allocated to pay a lot of bills and usually only play gambling with the results of bounty or when there is more money from trading results.

For those who have experienced something like this, it would be better not to think directly about how to return the money that has been used in gambling, it would be better to take a break a day and start thinking of ways to get money back, when our minds are clear we can find an ideas to recover funds.

Time is always the best cure for gambling since you can change the way you spend but for me there's other things that felt worse. Money can always come back while there are other things that can't be cured with time like health related problems.


For some gamblers who can't stop themselves after a bad gambling session that's one way to lose their hard earned money. Sometimes they would even ask for more or extend their loan if they lose it. 

you know what is happening to you but the problem is you dont want to admin that stupidity and your greediness covers your whole character.
now think another because it does happened already
you wont forget but you can tell yourself in the mirror and don't wait untill things comes worst .
lol don't be stupid to give advise when you cannot apply to yourself because who will listen to you when you can't even stand for it.

If something like that happens, there is nothing that can be done more than regretting what we have done.
You certainly know the risk of betting in gambling, defeat and victory is certain, it is only we who determine in the game of gambling.
Losing, in gambling for me all I can do is, stop opening gambling sites and go on a vacation to calm my brain for maybe two or three weeks, then I just decide to stop and keep playing.

I don't see the direct relation of this OP to the gambling but I want to relate it somehow. Damaged Salary could be achieve if you have too much debt to other people when you gamble too much. Your salary will be cut especially because you need to payback them. Thus, implying that in gambling, for you to have a stable salary is to control yourself and void borrowing money from others just to play and have something to bet.

Losing everything at stake is indeed the very worst feeling at all and sometimes it can lead to stress and mental breakdown to some people but regardless of what is happening you should always think that everything happens for a reason and that there will really be a time that you will be able to win. Bitcoin now is struggling to even reach the $10k mark again but I know for sure that it will surely bounce back so we just have to be positive and patient.

No regrets. Because I'm a person with strict decision. Like once you bet and lost, move on. Because in the world of gambling, you need to be strong, you take the risk and you should able to accept what are the consequences once you lost.

I think you felt like that is because you didn't afford those lost, like they are huge for you to put in gambling. I also felt that sometimes especially before I lost my 1month paycheck for just 1week of gambling.

If you managed to lose your entire salary to gambling, then you either have a gambling problem, or you just acted very irrationally once (unlikely).

Most gambling platforms have a disclaimer warning you to address your problem gambling... They're not trying to send you into debt or ruin your life.

Here's the one from crypto-games.net, take a read and act on it.

"What if I can't stop gambling?
Gambling can become an addiction that can have serious negative effects on your life. If you lose more than you planned to, please check these sites for information that can help you: Help Guide, Wikipedia. Or, you can contact us and we'll block your account and/or IP address. We truly value our players and do not want our Casino to negatively affect their lives."

After a big loss there is nothing to do besides learning from your own mistake to not commit it again in the future. All the depression, angry, sadness, desperation won't help you anyway, it will just make things worse for you as individual.
Change the way you see gambling and its meaning in your life, then you should be fine. Remember that it's possible to gamble without compromising your entire income on this activity, you just need to be a reasonable person.

Maybe it will be a little confused if I lose money in gambling, but it won't do anything crazy. because every time I gamble the money I use is money that is ready to lose. not money that can make you despair if you lose in gambling.
