Thank you for all the replies.

Let me clarify on this again.

Yes, it was totally dumb to bet 20k of my profits into gambling. Learnt my lesson from it and will recover from here and hope in the future will not have the same thing happen again.

And about sportsbetting , want to clarify that personally i love MMA . from the start to the end , even before i start trading i do started to watch MMA/boxing etc. and the 'sports' i bet is on MMA with 'extra' cash. this weekend will be my last sportsbetting for awhile until 3 month (decided to go for 3 month) and fully focusing on my trading and my RL works ( to help forget about gambling ) . Will constantly update on this thread about what going on and did i success on 'exclude' myself from betting.

My aim right now : Stop gambling on (slots,online casino thingy) . Sportsbet ( i will continue even after my 3 month exclusion , checked with my previous record, not even 6-1 years of betting in sportsbet lose more than 20k in 2 days. )

Thank you and i will update here . ( won't be constantly replying post )

It is nice to see some self-reflection and awareness in your posts, most of the time when something like this happens people blame the casino, their luck or anything else they think they can blame instead of accepting their responsibility of what they did and how they are the only ones that are guilty of the situation they are in.

That being said I still think it is a good idea to look for a professional on the field of addiction and see what you can learn from it, and while I do not think you are addicted to gambling you could face that danger in the future and it is better to be prepared and be able to recognize the signs before it is too late.

The original post is now updated.

After reading that, I now have a conclusion that you don't need any advice. You have already decided that you will continue to gamble. Maybe not just to cover the loss but you are really a gambler.

I think you are mature to know what's the best thing to do next. Just do your very best or even better.

Well bro i also lost huge money in gambling but it is nearly impossible to leave it when you get addicted to it as after loosing a lot i am still gambling.
the thing you can do is get busy in something else , enjoy life with what you have and when you want to gamble, do it with very small amount so that even if you loose it does not affect you badly.

gambling makes people happy and forget about themselves how to manage not to get addicted is difficult ,by dismissing the thought of gambling it is also difficult ,increasing activities outside to ignore the mind is also difficult ,nothing is easy unless supported by the closest person with a calm heart which will end the addiction ,I was also in a position of addiction but with a good environment gradually I become good

Self-control is very important here.
regardless of the experience op felt I think this is a lesson for everyone.
and indeed now it must be really safe and have calculations so that everything doesn't happen again the same case as the op described in his thread.

Most cases on where people do only learn when they had already been wrecked badly by gambling or simply lost up big time on it because before that they wont really be minding about those risk.

Gambling addicts do mostly had failed to resolved out their addiction issue that's why some do really ask out some help on their loved ones or to professional ones and some do able to overcome addiction by themselves.

This is really a matter of self control and if you aren't really that good on handling out things specially yourself on gambling then this would really be a big problem.

Sorry for your loss man. But i need to say one thing:

Quote from: KennyXBTC on October 26, 2021, 11:07:33 PM

1. Lost 20k just in 2 days after 'touching' on slots .

I F*CKING KNEW IT!. I said it many times before: slots and dice is evil and just a good way to ruin your life.
Be wise, listen to me

Quote from: KennyXBTC on October 26, 2021, 11:07:33 PM

3. For Sportsbetting / Slots , i will take 1 month back and rethink on what happen in the last 2-3 days before back to gambling .

Good idea.

Quote from: KennyXBTC on October 26, 2021, 11:07:33 PM

From what thought and watching the post that you guys gave me , i mostly will stop on gambling for awhile especially slots.

You should never touch slots again.

Quote from: KennyXBTC on October 26, 2021, 11:07:33 PM

Thanks for the support and reply . Appreciate it and wanted to say , stay off from gambling or bet on what you are willing to lose. Will continue to update my post . Sorry for the bad english , as it was not my main language.

Yep man, life is going so just make right conclusions and move forward

I'm sorry about what happened to you but this is your fault so I can't do anything but be concerned and maybe just give a little message.
do not let this greed and addiction continue, immediately avoid habits like this.
Gambling and slots are indeed not prohibited but don't get too used to this because this will only harm yourself

There's no one you could blamed of but only yourself whenever you do commit out mistakes and consequences just because of the actions

that you had made which it isnt surprising that gambling addiction could cause up problems if you dont know on how to control it.It does

require self awareness on your actions and be sensible on what you are doing and thinking on what are the probabilities of things to happen.

this is a consequence that will arguably get regretted for quite some time.
but the OP here talks about the experience as well as being a warning to us because when he writes about this he reminds us not to make the same mistakes as the OP did.
This is where self -control must be maintained, what we do there must be self -control for that and when we lost self -control, especially in gambling then things like what happened to OP will also happen to us

You really have to control yourself not just in betting with certain games but I would suggest that you would allocate enough funds in gambling so you'll never lose a lot in the end. Self-control and discipline is still the key. You really have to be responsible for your actions and don't let your emotions rule over you.

You displayed a good attitude towards gambling, I'm sure you got it from years of trading you are good at analyzing things and taking appropriate action, you will be successful in all your endeavor including gambling although with a lot of risks involved but with the right mindset and control, your winning percentage will be better.

lost 20k in 2 days , used up all my profits from my portfolio , and i just wanted to keep on going . how you guys stop yourself from betting/gambling on casino ?

looking for ways to bet on sportsbook but not on casino , but stake does not provide the option for that . Undecided

No one force you to use $20k to gamble. I wonder why you use all of your profits from your portfolio to gamble as you already make a profit. You should use that profit for yourself and not use it for gambling.

Right now, I can stop myself from gambling anytime I want as I am always trying to control myself not involved too deeper in gambling. I already got a bad experience, so I do not want to repeat the same mistake. If you realize that gambling makes you lose money and want to quit gambling forever, you must try to control yourself and not visit online gambling or offline gambling. No matter if that is hard for you, you must keep trying. That is the only thing you can do to stop gambling.

That's exactly what he said, no one force him to gamble all of his money, and victim blaming won't even help him.

Lucky you if you could control your urge to play gambling, but that doesn't give you any rights to blame him because of what he did. What seems to be his problem is out of his control, that's what he is trying to point out and he needs help. Rehabilitation is one of the best treatment anyone could have if they have any kind of addiction, that's more effective and fastest way to heal yourself from any addiction.

Sorry to hear about your loss mate but when it comes to losses like any other business you have to investigate were the real issue(problem) is ....could be that you would have won but you were placing big bets which could not keep you betting for a long time & possibly winning and once this is established then can you make the hard decision. I have been in such a situation were the wrong bet size cost me to lose huge amounts because of greed not addiction. But if addiction is the main problem then give gambling a break all together, shifting from casino betting to sportsbetting won't fix the problem!

If that money came from hard work, you need serious professional help. Otherwise, easy come easy go. You shouldn't worry about it much. While it is still a bad situation, if you made the money by doing nothing, you should feel a little bit better because in some parts of the world people work their asses off to make $20k. Most people can't even make that much money in one year while some people in the West make it in a month.

Consider this a very expensive life lesson and move on.

lost 20k in 2 days , used up all my profits from my portfolio , and i just wanted to keep on going . how you guys stop yourself from betting/gambling on casino ?

When I'm still betting, the largest loss that I got in only a day was around 20$ and at that time I'm already disappointed on myself and felt regret in the end because of how large I lost in gambling. After that I moved away from gambling sites, spend my time in playing online games until the time came that I'm no longer into gambling and I don't want to gamble again because I don't want to get addicted.

Losing $20,000 in just 2 days is already huge if you are just an average person but if you are a rich one, this amount is just a small percentage. Either way, losing this kind of amount is kinda depressing but its good to see that you are moving on with what happened to you. At least you learned a lesson here that just focus on trading and disregard gambling.

You need to make decisions your self and make sure you stick to it , I understand it's not easy to stop something like this that you have been in for a while. Since you really want to quit you have to make it a challenge to you and try the best you can to let this decision of you quiting come through. I wish you best of luck.

A self-challenge is a good idea just like I read in the other section of the forum where he managed to quit smoking and he uses every money for the cigarettes to buy bitcoins and he does that before the bull run this year. I wonder how much did he get from that challenge? I mean, instead of surely losing his money and contributing negative effects to the earth's echo system, he used his money to invest in something that he will get sure benefit from it.

If you have a lot of resources of money gambling is not a problem if you have limited only I guess it's better to set aside for a while your gambling habit or take a break or try to have a gambling plan with your habit. Try to take some time before getting more damage to your financial, physical and emotional aspects gambling is too bad when you get too exhausted. Ideal to do is to find another ways to enjoy your leisure time than spending tons of money.

1xBit.. recovered their reputation

losing $20k in just 2 days sounds terrible to me. maybe I will think about it for a long time if I lose that much money when playing slots

I don't know where you live but hopefully there is a treatment for your gambling addiction around there

Gambling addiction is a serious problem, don't take it lightly

So I am also surprised and to some extent delighted that so many BTT users answered OP in the posts of this topic.
The situation is generally sad. $ 20K is definitely a big amount if you spend it in 2-3 days. We can probably say that the OP was as if under hypnosis, "he was infected" by the game and he thoughtlessly made bets and actually did not have the opportunity to stop. However, such conditions occur with almost any normal person with a normal psyche. It's just that one in a hundred can be interrupted from such a state. A 99 in this state of excitement and excitement will play the same way until the money runs out.

The whole of Las Vegas is built on this!

gambling makes people happy and forget about themselves how to manage not to get addicted is difficult ,by dismissing the thought of gambling it is also difficult ,increasing activities outside to ignore the mind is also difficult

Gambling addiction is easy to achieve and become reality in someone's life but to quit is very difficult because it is difficult to quit is the reason it is called addiction and addicts are devoting their time to gambling which is draining money and time from them. I remember I was addicted for 5 years and some months without getting out of it until I lost so much.

Quote from: Doell on October 28, 2021, 03:15:15 PM

nothing is easy unless supported by the closest person with a calm heart which will end the addiction ,I was also in a position of addiction but with a good environment gradually I become good

The worst thing is for the closest person even not know his spouse, family or friend is addicted to gambling because it can just be a phone activity that can be hidden until things has been going wrong so bad to the extent that depression will set. But having a very good person that can help the situation will be good. Medical intervention can also result to positive changes.

OP is not blaming any one specially you so don't pretend that you are involved in HIs losses but you are not.
and also don't say that he is asking you to do anything because he is not .

OP also edited the tread and giving warning to everyone to try prevent gambling if you cannot control your self.
