I only play gambling using Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, I will be obsessed with continuing to play gambling if saving Bitcoin and in my opinion, it is the worst addiction I feel. So when I get or have more Bitcoin directly exchanges it to fiat. And only play with small capital.

so this means you never hold any bitcoin in your wallet?thats even sadder mate because when almost all of the people here in bitcointalk is saving Bitcoin for their future,yours are being withdrawn and exchange to fiat,but if that's your best way to escape addiction then feel free to continue.

so far I haven’t done anything as stupid as what OP mentioned above.

lol that's one in a Billion scenario and only Dead minded human can do such horrible things.

Holding your bitcoin can give you so many benefits as it’s saving for your future and also it can give you mental relaxation about the future. Using your bitcoin in gambling is also good but only if you have an online trustworthy casino, converting it into fiat is so wrong so you better keep it the same and use fiat as well if you have amount but don’t panic your coin.

but he admitted that he cant help it,whenever he has Bitcoin what comes first to his mind is to gamble so thats why i told him to just continue on his way of treating crypto gambling.

but ofcourse theres always a good way but if can control our self and we have no greediness in character because if does then its impossible for this to apply

I have heard of that news and that news because my uncle was working at the same casino before. It's sad to hear that there are people who can't control themselves and even commit crimes just to pursue gambling. As for me, gambling is just for entertainment and it could ruin our lives if we'll not control our emotions. Greediness could result in losses so we have to know our limits when it comes to gambling.

I know few people with "gambling addiction".

In few words, they just can't stop losing. Losing one, they try to get it back by betting another round, they lose again. And so on, it goes in the circle. Ofc, they win here and there, but their common sense doesn't let them think in a proper way.

Actually, people cannot get away from gambling. Once you become addicted to gambling you can do ridiculous things. It is really worst if we will not have discipline and determination to control ourselves. That’s the case in gambling cannot stop in playing, and for some, they just wanted to borrow money to continue their addiction that mostly aiming to return the amount that has lose.

Gambling addiction is not like, a cigar or alcohol addiction, but I think it should be clearly emphasized that it plays moderately and at its own risk, as it says in a cigar pack. Gambling addiction occurs if you are a unstable personality, you can easily break your words (eg, go to gamble and spend no more than you planned). People with strong careers have no problem with envy, both with gambling and other addictions. Addiction takes place in a mental disorder, which is not mentally strong and suffers from gambling addiction, it has a difficult problem.

That is why we must have control for ourselves because once we become addicting, we will lose what we have, and it is hard to get it back. With having good control and self prevention from addicting, we will not become addicting like other people, and even we can teach them how to avoid addicting. Yes, addicting is worst because that will make us lose control, and it is hard to cure the addicting if we don't have a strong mind to get out of the addicted.

I also think that the best we can do is to save our bitcoins.We can set a part a monthly bankroll to play without touching our bitcoins by buying a few amount monthly to gamble with it.Always stick to the plan and if you ever feel the urge to get more bitcoin stop,think cold headed and try to not to continue anymore.If you still can’t resist is better to call for professional help rather than losing your bitcoins.

I want to ask my fellow gamblers here, what is the worst thing you have done for your gambling hobby or habit? Have you come to the point of getting addicted to it and how did you counter it?

I never got addicted to gambling because I am aware of the bad impacts of it. In my point of view, this case depends on how someone can control himself and think logically. If you can control yourself, moreover you understand that no need to expect so much on gambling, then I think you can be free from addiction

The problem is more serious than that

You didn't get addicted but not because you knew it was bad. Addicts of whatever variety also know perfectly well that their addiction is bad and potentially ruinous but they can't do anything about it on their own. Also, you think you can control yourself but that's because you probably don't have a gambling mentality (or just a general predisposition to this or that form of addiction), so you find yourself in a position of making a rational decision (what you call control) but this is not always the case and certainly not the case with addicted individuals

the worst thing I did the most was stealing my mother's money under the bed, after that she felt lost and accused me of taking the money.

it's better to steal money from other people but not your own mother or your parents, that's unacceptable.

No, there is no such thing as you said. Stealing with other people will never be better. It is something that people should stop doing. It has no difference in stealing money from his own mother.

without clear evidence he knows I took it, because gambling can make people do the same desperation as drugs if it is not met then it will find a shortcut so that desire is fulfilled, from here I learn if gambling must be stopped by yourself by way of away from places and friends who often gambling.

I will tell you, that will be in your conscience forever, stealing is not good especially to those who struggle financially.
Look what gambling have made you, that's because of being irresponsible and not doing the right thing to spend only what you can afford to lose.

if you know how to accept your loses, you wouldn't do that big mistake.

His conscience after stealing the hard-earned money of his own mother. Even after so many years, his sin will still remain deep in his mind and his heart. Gambling should not be done with addiction, once it was exposed, it should stop right away.
Accepting losses can easily be done, however, the experience will remain and never get back those days even he regrets it.

That's one of the most craziest thing that I've heard about gambling addiction. I meant it can be so dangerous to even let people kill themselves. Hopefully, I'm not addicted to gambling, I mean a few months ago I was gambling regularly, but I was at the point to get addicted to be honest, but I just controlled myself because it could be even worse later. Addicted people should start to stay away from gambling slowly and trying to quit this field as soon as possible. It's not even a good field to earn money, because it's all about luck.

Those mentioned scenario was the result of their stress beyond what's happening on them at very worst stage. I couldn't say it's a final conclusion not to be addicted just what you've said mate, but first and foremost I am always trying not to be on that level. With that idealism of luck, I always think of that this gambling cannot be relied on in terms of profit or a daily source of living; this is all about entertainment.

Any type of addiction may it be gambling or not are all the worst because all addicts can do something horrible to the point that it cost there life and others. I gamble but I made sure to gamble moderately because I don’t want to be addictive to gambling so much and so far I haven’t done anything as stupid as what OP mentioned above. Gambling should only be treated as another way to have fun and enjoy to avoid serious addiction.

Gambling in a moderate way avoid a person to get addicted from this activities. As long as you still understand the risk and you are not surpassing your limitations the enjoyment and entertaining part of this habit will remain controllable. But if one gambler exceed and aggressively forget things that holding him to control his emotions, that serves as the beginning of many worse things that will happen. It's no longer to enjoy but to aim for higher profits.

It also must be in place. If we are going to pertain ourselves that gambling will be a way to become a millionaire it gonna be a big problem and could lead to addiction. And the good thing that I'm not like that and if we know our limitations, our position and also our responsibility it surely it can be far from the worse thing to happen in our life. Gambling could be good if we treat it good also but it turns bad when we are out of control and that it addiction which sometimes we might think evil to the others.

I was reading the news this morning and one of the headlines was about a terrible stealing incident involving an alleged gambling addict. The man is an employee of R&L Investments, one of the Philippines' oldest stock brokerage firms. He was able to orchestrate a way to suck at least ₱700-million worth of stocks from the company to support his gambling addiction. This is around 14 million USD, huge enough for the company to decide its closure after 5 decades of operation.^[1]

This case made me remember another news that shocked the country and beyond more than a couple of years ago. This incident involved another gambling addict who tried to burn down the casino inside Resorts World Manila. The man entered the casino fully armed and attempted to steal chips. It went awry and much worse from there, and ended up burning himself alive. The gambling addiction of the perpetrator had reached its worst end after initially causing separation from his family, selling of properties including his home and car, incurring huge debts, and so on. The incident claimed dozens of lives.^[2]

I want to ask my fellow gamblers here, what is the worst thing you have done for your gambling hobby or habit? Have you come to the point of getting addicted to it and how did you counter it?

That's is called frustrations, Greedy is the cause of addicting, to avoid of these scenario need to be apply self discipline if people didn't know how to control itself as gambler not possible inter their mind make bad thungs idea how to get back their money. But the sad and worse here is the make a lot of troubles for their lives. So I advuse always do not npbe greedy and always apply self discipline and play ganpmbling for just havung fun and enjoy not go make money.

I took money on parents pocket and I think that's the worst thing that I've done so far. Those incidents that you have mentioned were actually too deep and made those gamblers into the extent that they no longer think about others because they are in extreme addiction.
There's still a solution for those cases but I think the guy that has been arrested and used the company's money, it could also be a setup and he's not the only person that's involved.

Yeah, I think this is one of the worst I've done as well. But the amount is that huge though. But stealing money from someone and to continue doing it just so that you can gamble and live your lifestyle? no, I'm not that kind of guy, so now that he is busted, I'm sure that he regrets everything he has done inside a jail.

I'm also not getting a huge amount from their pockets. I'm considerate with the amount although I know that kind of act was bad way back then. But I guess during our teenage days, we all have that kind of naughtiness inside. I don't also like doing that with other people but if it's with the money of my parents way back then, it's acceptable for me because I know how they'll punish me. But gambling with the funds of investors that has built trust on the company, this is really embarassing.

this is normal for everyone and like you guys i also have done that . its our parents , we know them and we are not afraid if we have caught because we arent gonna punish us brutally compare to other strangers do if ever you steal something from them . its not considered worst all but there are more other worst scenarios than this like , when someone steal from other people . they are stealing serious amounts which is risky when they got caught .

In past maybe when i first know 999dice, and primedice i play both of that sites almost everyday, and worst thing that i do because of addicted to play gambling maybe when i keep play and then always aim to win, i buy strategy for like $5 to an owner of a facebook group i did that maybe at 2015, but still lose. But i already learned that there are no strategy in gambling, no superstition and it is all about luck for now. And don't be addicted.

Such sort of things happen in the beginning. Gambling appears to be fun and especially the hope to get money by playing is an attractive one. Majority has same start as yours but the end is different. Ia ma glad that you learnt out of your mistakes and do not play with the initial intentions you had. Gambling is just an activity that can be used to kill spare time. It cannot bring us huge amounts of money by any way.
