Gambling changes my life before, I become more greed and I become more selfish, and mostly I buy expensive things to impress other players. Well, that was long time ago and I’ve already moved on, back to my normal life and live more happy. Gambling makes me a better person because of so many failures, don’t fall on greed forever.

It will affect pur overall lifestyle as it changes your way of life, greed will most likely going to change you in very common situations. Addiction and other negative aspects will have to ruin your life. Some people might manage their addiction but eventually cannot withstand beigt greed unto betting with huge amount of money.

Gambling will only affect your overall lifestyle if you gamble without limitation or you treat gambling as your way to earn decent money. If you experience to win you will get tempted to try your luck again until you wont notice you already became addicted. So before you gamble learn how to control and dont be greedy.

As for me I dont gamble often, I just play everytime im bored or I have spare time. Gambling for me is a way to entertain myself and not for the purpose that I want to earn therefore it has no big impact in my life.

Gambling can definitely affect our lifestyle, there are two possibilities in gambling you will either have an abundant lifestyle or broke lifestyle. Everyone knows gambling is more on luck well ofcourse depending on the game, so if you are a wise gambler then that means you have a better self control and has a good strategy in spending your winning while if you are a greedy gamblers then you’ll end up getting broke like losing almost everything.


That's is fact and I agree wise gambler have an self control greedy isn't not advisable because possible to become addicting and change lifestyle into broke. to avoid this scenario we must treat gambling as play for just fun not to treat it for source of income and always set greed control.

It surely affects our lifestyle if you are really into gambling. If you live because of gambling activities, that's where your overall lifestyle is truly affected by gambling. But if you only gamble once in a while, then I would say, it has no significant impact on your life. And as for me, I only gamble whenever I have extra cash to spare with, so I guess, it doesn't really affect my overall lifestyle.

So far i've been playing for more than a year and i haven't been fallen to that kind of situation just like you OP. I am just playing gambling because i want to entertain myself and i like to socialize a little since my kind of work is kind of stressful. I always set my bankroll specifically gambling only whether i win or lose as long as i am contented with the company.

Sometimes it's hard to control once you felt that you aren't satisfied with what the result due to the unlucky days but i just take a deep breath and i call it a day.
Calling it a day thing would really be hard to be followed by most gamblers yet they would continue to chase up loses.Reactions or actions will depend on how you do look towards gambling.

If you do play for the sake of making money then actions like this would be definitely followed but when you do play for sake of entertainment then you wont really end up on having this situation.

Yeah right, most of us gamble because of money, actually they are not chasing defeat but rather chasing their money. And that doesn't happen when they lose, but when they win they still pursue it because they will still chase the money even if they win.

There may only be 1: 100 people who play gambling for entertainment and the rest are only for the pursuit of money. Sure enough, when a gamble for entertainment they will enjoy it more when gambling, because their minds will not be mixed emotions and tensions.
Gambling is good way to earn and to make our life. So those who says gambling is just fun for them are not lucky. It is good to enjoy while you are gambling but considering gambling as fun is not good thinking at all. I am thankful to gambling as it changed my life and has given me good life style that’s why I never stop to gamble.
Maybe you were lucky today when you play gambling because you think you could earn from it but in the long run, you will end up chasing your losses again and again. Gambling supposed to be for fun only for once and do not consider yourself staying one of those casinos too much because that's would be the time you will start to feel the regret slowly.

Although some people may not really feel it yet because they do have huge money on their bankrolls(probably rich) and they can spend anytime and anywhere they like.

It asap to have you handle the situation while your taking your investment into gambling industry. If you considered gambling asha entertainment alone there is no problem for you.
The people who ever being greedy and unable to control the emotion when they are facing the loss are not fit for the the gambling field.

None of us is immune to mistakes. Sometimes we are greedy and unable to control ourselves, and we lose more than we can afford to lose in those cases. But the key is making those cases happen as rare as possible. If you can do that most of the time, and you lose control only once in a year, you are okay to gamble imo. The only thing that you should never do is borrowing money to gamble. That's unacceptable in any circumstances.

In short, gambling can affect your life negatively, but not more often than once in a year. If you see this happening more often, you should probably seek help of some kind to stop this activity.

Gambling can have good and bad effects on our life. It can bring some nice profit and entertainment experience if one knows how to win in gambling and one is aware of pros and cons of gambling. At the same time, for those who do not understand gambling well, it can be a bitter experience for their life.
The good effect that I only see in gambling is that you can be entertained and it can be your stress reliever.

Most of the times, gambling is always bad for the gamblers. They always lose and if they win, they will become greedy until they lose all of their money. Losing your money in gambling can lead to depression and it can change your lifestyle since you are depressed. Better if you not gamble anymore.

Yes, gambling result also change your mood. If you won in gambling you will feel entertained and happy for the rest of the day.
In case of loss, you will be stressed and sad depending upon the amount you lost in gambling and it will definitely effect your other acts in life which normally does not link to gambling like your behavior with your spouse and kids etc.

If you will focus your time in gambling, that might result to a stressful life, we understand that we are losers in the long run but still we enjoy gambling because sometimes we can be lucky and win some amount of money that we can enjoy.

As for me, when I loss, I just don't count it anymore and I just tell to myself that loss is the amount I have to pay to be entertainment.
If we have that kind of mentality, we will never get addicted and gambling will not negatively affect our lifestyle.

Eloncoin.org - Mars, here we come!
- I started gambling
- Set goals
- Win
- Win again
- Wow, again a lot of wins and I now have enough money to pay for bills and food for 5 full years
- I don't stop there
- I play
- I lose
- I played again with bigger amount
- EV not positive any more
- Still playing
- I made a lot of bets where I lost half of all those wins
- I didn't quit
- I made a single bet where I put the remaining half
- & I lost finally, everything that I made + what I put in it that was mine
- It ruined the lifestyle we were living and I am back to 0.
Well, I smiled when was reading your post. Because I also experienced this kind of scenario while I am in gambling. Well, as you notice that the word I bolded above you should always remember. Indeed, you did not apply that while you are in climax because all wanted to have is a massive profit which is you should have a limitation and should know when to stop. I noticed that continue playing will makes you a big chance to lose and better to have a break and come back when your mind gets a refresh.

Such is the bad effect in gambling. If we have become addicts, sacrifice or do anything for gambling. Sooner or later you will get used to the bad things in playing gambling. If you can't control it, it will greatly affect your daily life.

I gamble when I feel like it but I can also not gamble whenever I want to.
This should be the kind of attitude every gambler has.
When we are in control, there is no risk that gambling will affect our lifestyle and there is no chance we will get addicted.

It shows how smart we are if we have control because we didn't allow our emotion to dictate our mind and knowing how gambling gives mix emotions, without control this would not be entertaining anymore.
Positive and good kind of addiction is not bad I think gambling has ability to make our life good but we will have to give it a chance by gambling well. Never be hurry to win and don’t take wrong way to make profit. It has given me a chance to spend time constructively and make money in my spare time of day.

I've seen some people who do fall on this category which most of them trying to chase up their losses even if their bankroll would suffer at the end of the day. Most of them i've seen are gone now maybe they were on a rehabilitation center for gambling addict or somewhere in the street losing everything just because they had lost their self-control while gambling.

I'm interested to know on what kind of game you are playing?

I'd like to know it so I know I am sharing my opinion with people which are the same page as mine, I actually gamble in sports and I'm heavily focus on this compared to other games as this one for me gives a chance to win due to the fact that it has no house edge.
I don’t think it’s about the game but about the player, like he mentioned, it was his false decision that led to he’s mischief.  Maybe we should focus on knowing the strategy that got the guy wrecked because the fastest way to go broke in gambling is by using some unacceptable strategies.

The whole story looks very strange to me because I can imagine how a player suffered so much on a game that is meant to be fun and entertaining. It’s quite a sympathetic story I must say and if you have to advice anyone I think you should teach them to focus on gambling for fun than on getting money since this now looks like an impossibility in gambling.

The style varies from person to person, The side effects of a gambler's life can not be accurately described. If you are subjected to a severe defeat, It will make you think again to recover your loss, Your life will be rather difficult and you will suffer fatigue and fatigue.This is one of the effects that you can be exposed to.

Frankly speaking it does because most of my lifestyle are not shifted toward a life style of a gambler. There are things that actually I was not doing before I venture into the world of gambling but since I have joined the gamblers community, I have seen more. changes around based on the gambling life and also on my general life.
The change you have in your life is it positive or negative? I think many of us are suffering loses and few are really making a good life in gambling and therefore we can notice a change of lifestyle by the way we live. I almost get depressed when I lose 0.02btc last week Saturday through dice and since then little thing makes me unhappy. Gambling is a game and we must do it for fun if we want a positive change in habits and lifestyle.
