Topic: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds - page 20. (Read 3709 times)
Hard earned money, the mistake have happened there. Whether he preferred to gamble or not and so many things that have happened further is secondary. Initially he should've realised the value of money, and if that has happened he might've never spend the hard earned money. Everywhere it is all about money, and OP won't do this again of he finds it a lesson.
True, OP got caught in the moment which was rather unfortunate. Nothing we can do though, it gets to the best of us sometimes, I wouldn't really blame OP fully for it, but he does have to suffer the consequences for having his actions like that.
nope, I disagree, OP is to be blamed fully for what happened to his money. trying to sugarcoat what happened by saying "I wouldn't really blame OP fully for it" won't help anyone. sometimes it is good to be harsh in order to for them to realize the mistake they made. I just hope next time OP would be more mindful of the money he is gambling.He already realized his mistake by sharing it here, if he is not he will not post his experience here because his action will be subjected to a lot of criticism I think he wants to move on, you cannot move on, if you keep thinking it and not openly sharing what happened to you, I'm sure he will be better next time not better in gambling but thinking better when and how to stop.
That gesture OP did is to share his experienced and allow himself to move forward, open opinions or criticism also provides good guidance not only with the person who experienced it out but also to those who are not into this kind of situation yet, it can help them to avoid not to overuse their funds in this kind of entertainment.
Money is very valuable and hard to earn if you want to do something either to enjoy or to find some luck best to allocate and be very strict with such an allocation of your bankroll.
because betting for a specific goal is not good because what is expected is only a win that is never satisfied before reaching the targeted goal, and in fact it will make you accept a lot of losses and even lose everything because you play with ambitions that make you uncontrollable.
Every gambler has a different story of loss, but all of them must be corrected and used as valuable lessons and experiences so that they don't happen again.
I agree, what all things mentioned is true. Rather than unlucky me, it is the lack of control and the choice of risking. Same time I just want to convey, if I'm lucky even the lack of control and choice of risking could've brought me good profit. For that reason I've mentioned as unlucky me.
As said the chance of winning isn't guaranteed, myself mentioned of the winning chance is high, just because of placing the bets to roll over 20 on dice. For this the winning chance is 80%, but as mentioned it isn't guaranteed.

You bet with a very high probability of winning, but lost very quickly, this is a really rare case. Can you elaborate on how much you raised after a bad roll and how many bets you lost/won in total before you lost your entire deposit? I find it hard to believe that you are on a long losing streak with such a high probability of 80%. Even a series of four defeats in a row under such conditions is 0.16 percent likely.

source or way for them to increase money but we know that gambling is for entertainment and expecting that it could really make things possible in terms of increase via winning then you shouldnt
really be having this kind of expectation because you would really be finding out yourself to be that on a hard situation or problem.

Diverting your attention to something else works like charm. I did this trick as well whenever I feel the urge to gamble. Not that I am limiting myself but I already did play gambling earlier. Either I win or lose I already said to myself that I will stop after that because I know what will be the outcome if I don't stop.
It was almost two months hard earned money. Got busted in few minutes. I don't know why I wasn't able to have me within the limits. Just started with a $3 bet, but it went upto $98 and ended with empty wallet. This is completely unlucky, because every bets were placed to roll above 20 which means the winning probability is quite high. Anyhow I wasn't in control and I didn't follow the rule gamble what you can afford to loss. It was a money saved to repay a debt. Now once again the interest needs to be paid so to manage the debt for some more time. Unlucky me 
You are not the first nor the last to experience this. I think many people who write in this gambling section have experienced these unpleasant consequences. I had a similar experience: I posted for a whole week participating in the signature campaign, but when I received a reward, I lost everything to the last cent in several stages. All labor was in vain. This is pretty upsetting. You have to be very careful about gambling, I think so.

That's one thing with gambling, you win, they win, it's always vice versa where you stand a winning chance of 0.1% and they stand to win with a percentage rate of 99.9%. (Very unfair)...
Only had you known you would have remained playing with your tactics which made you turn your $3 into $98 in two months, but rather you decided to try a different strategy and lost it all. I'm sure it's greed that made you lose all the funds because you thought you could get some bucks after paying the depth, and now nowhere to be fund
Sometimes, it's not good to let greed control your actions because later on, you will regret its outcome. And secondly one of the biggest mistakes you made is gambling with the money meant to pay depth. Never do that. Because there is two money you don't gamble with, church money and money meant to pay depth.
You can gamble with free money which you can afford to lose

The more you lose the more you wanted it back. Heard it somewhere and they are saying its human nature, maybe its true because you are not the only who chased the win. A lot us lose their money. Of course, every experience gives us realization and lessons.
That's why you need to control yourself and you need to remind yourself not to take a loan no matter how stressed you are from losing your money because you might end up increasing your problem to the point that you cannot take it anymore. This is how the gambler felt when he realized he had just lost the money he really needs when it was all over and he doesn't have any money anymore. That's why you cannot just forget it once happened but you need to remind yourself to be calm and not to create more problems.
3$ - hard earned money? And busted at $98 ? If you really worked hard to get these 3 dollars, why dont you stopped when you had, lets say 15$ ? Your greed lead to obvious result. You cant win always. If you hadnt lost at 98$, you could have lost at 99$, or 100$ or at even bigger summer. You should have controlled your emotions better.
He started with a small bet and while in game, he increases his bet until he lose everything. He becomes greedy while gambling and most probably, let his own emotion control his decision which is not good if you’re into gambling. Losing is normal in gambling, but if you don’t have the money for gambling better not to gamble at all. Not that it matters much, but I would point out that $3 is not a small bet for a dice at all (the OP confirmed that it was a dice). In this game, you can make a lot of bets in one minute even without automatic mode, and if you use the martingale, starting from $ 3 in a couple of minutes, you can lose a large amount.
Happening again like this, even I shouldn't be right to say something like this and indeed this can be called a prerogative to have tutored someone who was here first but you need to look at some people who have been addicted to gambling and it didn't end well.
I think you know enough about it and let's just take it as a mistake and a reminder that you made such mistakes only in your short mind.
regret always comes at the end but regret without change of course this will not make meaningful results for your life

I think we have all gone through that very same experience as you have described in the quoted post.
It really sucks to lose, and whenever I am going from a winning streak towards a losing streak, what I do is manipulate myself into thinking that if I can try again and again then I will somehow magically force myself back into the winning streak. And of course with such a "winners mentality" one cannot help but keep adding larger sums of money to the bets in order to make ones original sum back. Its a frustrating cycle which nobody cannot win against.
Sorry to hear about your financial loss :S

Unfortunately, this is a loss of control over your money. It has happened to me a few times in my life to lose money that I had for something completely different. In my case, however, it was mainly because I was drunk. Once I understood that, I just don't play for money when I drink alcohol.
I'm sorry for your loss. You just have to learn a lesson, and it's best to spread the money in different places so that you don't have all of them at hand when the emotions flow.

that is why you should have a separate fund for gambling and for your bills(in your case paying a debt). having a separate fund would always remind you that the money you have saved for gambling is the only money you can gamble. this incident should be a lesson to you and be more mindful of the money you cannot afford to lose.As said the chance of winning isn't guaranteed, myself mentioned of the winning chance is high, just because of placing the bets to roll over 20 on dice. For this the winning chance is 80%, but as mentioned it isn't guaranteed.
I really wouldn't consider you being unlucky to be false, even the most sensible gamblers that manage their money would still lose it if unlucky, just that they had better decision makings in that they only bet what they can afford to lose. AS for you well, you were really unlucky, with a winning chance of 80% you lost quite a lot of times in the span of a few minutes. 
I am sorry to read about this bad experience with gambling.
if I can tell you a couple of useful suggestions:
ALWAYS
- try to use cold wallets for money that you can afford to lose or money that you want save
- use betting sites that allow you to set limits both in the amount of deposits and in the amount of money you are going to lose.
last but not least,
don't gamble further to make up for lost money. you solve absolutely nothing!

At least he had fun and not is double motivated for work 
Not his worst decision will be to get money and try to play back what he has lost. I hope he is not that stupid, coz history has million of example how such strategy led to a worst situation. I would not recommend to save on food or replace sleep with extra work. In the end more will be spend to recover health.

You should always follow your game strategy. When emotions begin to overcome, then you need to pause the game, it won't go anywhere from you and you can continue at any time. I'm not a gambler myself, but I can sometimes play poker, and sometimes I can raise the odds recklessly too. It almost always ends in a loss.
It is hard to pause when you are too emotional. You barely control yourself and for you to overcome, you wont be able to think on it when you are on the spot and situation. That makes it harder because you do not think of any other thing but just to gamble and have your bankroll or capital bank. And when you are dealing with that situation, that makes you reckless and you are out of control. When you have nothing on your hands, that is the time you come to regret the action you made.
I agree because I also experience to lose control in gambling in the past, it takes a lot of losing experience before I learned how to control myself. Discipline is necessary, keep learning from your mistake and eventually, you'll mature as a gambler, the only principle to follow is to gamble what you can afford to lose and never think of considering gambling as a source of income, unless you are exceptionally good.
