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.

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. 
That's really bad to hear such stories but if I have money and I need to pay something important and urgent I will never use it to test my luck in gambling since the problem will just grow two times, just like what happened to you. Now your debt increases due to interest. I hope people will see the lesson here.
That is a very desperate move in which People must never do , though there is a VERY TIN chance that we will win , but the higher the chance of losing and we must take this into consideration.that it is better to be short a little in payment than having nothing at all to pay.
never gamble your precious money , just the amount we can spare is what can be gone for gambling.

I am sorry for your loss. We can not do anything when we have already lost, even if we try to recover the losses by depositing more money and continuing playing because it will not guarantee us to win the money. Playing gambling should be moderately and always remember that we can lose at any time and most people already losses from gambling. And greed is something that we must avoid, especially if we use the money that we want to allocate for some reason in our lives. If you do not realize that, you will get a hard time having that money because you already use that money to play gambling.
Whatever gambling you do, you must be able to control it even if it is difficult. I often experience the same thing as you, but since then I have shifted my lust to other things, watching movies or watching live broadcasts on any program to refresh my brain so I don't get greedy.
Taking a moment to calm down to start gambling again, as a result I am grateful that my money came back even though I didn't win but at least I didn't lose. Should be able to take a break of a few hours to gamble again, You can't make profits instantly if you're not lucky.
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.Taking a moment to calm down to start gambling again, as a result I am grateful that my money came back even though I didn't win but at least I didn't lose.

It can only lead me to become an addicted gambler. We can still have fun doing other things but I can say that they are much better because there is no money involved on them. If ever we got overboard doing that thing at least we still have that money in our wallet and we know that we can pay our debts more easily if ever we have one, like the OP.
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 
Greed is an extremely powerful force and many people think they can take shortcuts to wealth - for every one success in that way there will be 99 failures. People also seem to crank up the odds when they see a large sum, which is very poor bank roll management. You should take a step back from gambling because it seems to be generating some despair for you and costing a lot too.
A example of why should we always play in our limits and don't need to go above our budget which you ignored and the results were empty wallet.So you lost around $98 due to aggressive betting behaviour neglecting totally you have crossed the limits which happens when we loose control of ourselves.But that is what we need to take control in gambling and this is why it's too risky as you become addicted and loose your funds.Take lesson from it.
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.

The only thing I hope now that you tell us about this is that you take control for the next occasions and it will not happen to you again. You can enjoy gambling as entertainment and get some extra money from time to time but you have to be very careful not to lose more than you can afford, especially if it has happened to you before.
..Unlucky me
Sorry to say that, but that is not about you being unlucky. It is more than you being careless and risking yourself in this situation. You ignored a very important rule. Losing control in gambling is very potential, moreover, it will also lead to addiction, winning is also addiction. So, whatever the lesson, you should take and pay it.
Moreover, how can you really be sure that your chance to win is high enough? There is no guarantee or gambling is sometimes different, not always like usual

You are not a newbie to do this mistake of risking your hard earned money in gambling. You are a Legendary member and we expect that you set an example for us but i understand that sometimes we forget the rules of the games. I can see that you tried to play revenge gambling to recover your losses but kept on losing unless your wallet was emptied but the win did not embrace you.
You should keep the emotions out of the game, if you want to succeed in gambling.
Take it easy!
Surely he has already paid for this carelessness and harsh words like that only make the situation worse.
Every good player, even knowing the basic rules, has already been through this situation, the game really is treacherous with our minds.
If you've never been through this, congratulations, keep it up, but don't criticize those who had this heartache and came here to share their situation... help him!
I support you hard, OP has been paid for the mistakes he did, it's not good if we add to the burden by saying harsh words to himSurely he has already paid for this carelessness and harsh words like that only make the situation worse.

as fellow gamblers, the wise thing we have to do to the OP is to give him a strong spirit, because the spirit and words of motivation can make the OP forget this defeat and will definitely help his gambling in the future

You have realized the mistake, but as humans we cannot control something that can indeed give so much with such a small capital. Everyone knows regret always comes late, but not everyone wants to realize it before losing everything. For people whose finances are only sufficient, it is very regretful when they have won and then lost again until they are empty. Now do good financial management, don't let the minutes take all your money. value your money, so your money can work for you. And invest your money where it's less risky.

What do you mean by "every bets were placed to roll above 20" ? You mean odds were about @20? it's very high actually and you've made a big mistake to place bets of $3 with such a small bankroll.You can get losing streaks of more than 10 rolls in a row with odds @2.0 then you could imagine the length of a losing streak of @20 odds.
Since you have lost the fund, I don't think their is something you can do now to retrieve the fund back. You need to learn a big lesson here so you have prevent further possible mistake against. Most gamblers had made this kind of mistake multiple time and still continues. You need to watch the rate you gamble and always withdraw your fund to prevent lossing everything. Others gamblers who had not made this kind of mistake will take correction from yours.

I guess you must be aware about the consequences of your action while you continue to gamble, and now its time for you to think of a solution on how to repay your debt. Gambling is only good if you can gamble with an amount you can afford to lose, but if you go beyond that and become uncontrolled, that will be the start of your life's misery. Well, since there's nothing you can do about that, but to save money again to repay your debt, i guess this time take a break from gambling first so you won't be tempted again losing all your hard earned money. 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. If you do find yourself to be that emotional or highly reactive then its better to stop completely than on losing all of your hard earned money which supposedly to be used into more
important or worth rather than spending for leisure.It is really that dangerous if you are a type of person which is impulsive and since we do give importance on money
then those are just common reactions.
