Topic: Does gambling affect your overall lifestyle? - page 6. (Read 6389 times)
Glad that you survived from a big loss and its good to learn many things from your experience. Gambling doesn't affect much of my lifestyle because I only play with moderation and I don't have much money to gamble. What I've learned from my past experience is that, being greedy in gambling can't help you earn money that's the reality i believe.
I had been gambling for years before I met with a very big accidental loss that almost killed me. It took me a lot of time to get out of the shock I got from that loss as it was all I saved for my family that I put as a bet and lose. To me, gambling had the power to drag me in death's mouth by ruining everything for me due to my own false decisions, did you have the same experiences - bitter or sweet, you would want to share? I would point it out like this:
- 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.
