Topic: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds - page 25. (Read 3701 times)
This is why you do not gamble with all your money. Ypu don't bring money in the gambling house/sessions that are meant for other things. It's outright irresponsible and stupid to do so, especially if you know you have no control to your gambling exploits. This should serve as a lesson that you paid for dearly, something you will not forget very easily. If I were you, I would only bring money with me that can only last me for a meal or two in order to stop myself from gambling everything I worked hard for.
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 
That's why you shouldn't be gambling with money that you can't afford to lose. Doesn't matter if you have high chance of winning with lower payout, you are still risking a lot. You should know that gambling is an expensive source of entertainment. All you can do is learn a lesson from this. Work again to earn your money and repay the debts and move on with your life instead of regretting and thinking about those money that you will never get back.

Ouch it sucks that you save it up for a long time and it gone instantly because of gambling but there is nothing to be blame here I guess but yourself alone because you lose your control and got tempted to bet more. 3 dollars a bet is already high but how much more if 98 dollars a bet? Dang but is the strategy you're using is martingale? Because how did you end up that high? Martingale doubles our base bet once we lose and it can grow higher as long as we haven't hit our target multiplier yet. It was dice game that you play? And you need to roll above 20 which means the win chance is 80%. Indeed that was high but shit happens you know. I even got a lot of loss streaks on a 98% chance and sometimes it's consecutive, imagine that?

That's normal, we all have that thing but in order for us not to lose so much money we need to set a limit for ourselves, for me gambling is not bad as long as you have the control, which is very very hard especially when you are on your winning spree you tend to bet more and more to win larger amount . Set a limit and make it a habit, also never ever use the money that is already allocated to some things, I am sorry but it is very a bad idea.
Yup its martingale. When there is the need to win you will find a strategy that will make you win. Unfortunately, its not going to work when you don't stop after winning. For many times I have tried different systems and win in the first 2 to 5 bets and then starts south after next. Its the pattern not just on luck base games, martingale can be applied on blackjack and patterns still the same. When you win big, its time to stop. Let go of the loss. Its like investing, gamble the money you can afford to lose.
Yeah even if you have thousands to a hundred thousand, still you might be having the same result.Op said he doesn't know why he hasn't seen his own limit. So start there by knowing your limitations as you gamble so that this won't happen again.
But if for the second or third time, you are still having the same result of losing your hard-earned money. I guess you have to go with counseling.

When it comes to gambling don't ever overextend your luck because eventually, the house will catch you, always know when to quit, knowing when to quit is a virtue for us gamblers, always remember you can always come back don't ever think that you can recover your losses, but if you're playing for pleasure you will not regret losing even if you win a lot in the early phase, don't try to beat the house, you cannot.

It's a serious problem mate. You need to consult a professional help for you to deal and solve your addiction. If the money is intended for payment of debt, you should have clear that first before you gamble.
Now, you've just lost the money and you still have the debt that might probably be increasing due to the interest that you're incurring while it's not yet fully paid.

Sorry to hear that but I also have been in that kind of situation.I have been because of my madness trying to get the bonus round in slots game and thus like you increased the bet,of course not at that level,maximum I have played have been 1.6 dollars per bet and got busted like you.I have no debts fortunately but I know your feeling and what you must have felt during such session,it is never a good feeling.I bypassed this by playing with minimal bet and always playing only money I don't care to lose although the feeling when you lose it all remains the same sadness.
You have been this forum since 2013 and you're very familiar with gambling as I can see you're active in this board. There are so many thread created about gambling addictions and got many repetitions, you should have read that at least one thread, but I don't know why you can still become an addict. Now you regretting you have done before, however you're need to think how to pay your debt and the interest ASAP since crying over it doesn't solve the problem.
Even OP gambled since 1900, it's just usual for an experienced gambler to be tempted to do gamble irresponsibly. OP knows the risks but still pushes it. For that, we just hope for the best that OP can move on from the situation. He might take chance to profit to solve his debt.
Although not a good idea, the fact that OP still posts that problem here means he accepts the consequences.
Let OP regret what he did. Voicing out his problem here might lessen the pain compare to keeping it to himself.
Well, if you can't control yourself and get addicted due to gambling, I suggest you to stop gambling by clicking the self exclusion of the casino you played and seek professional against your case. I've seen a lot addicts doesn't realized they was addicted, they thought they're normal and doesn't have any problem. But after few days, I heard some of them sold their house and become a beggar. I hope you didn't become like this one.

This sounds as (sort of) Martnigale to me (too). And it was proven that such a system is basically a trap: sooner rather than later it will fail you, in one of the "unlucky" days.
When I use Martingale-like systems and my head is cool enough (!) I stop after a 3-4 loses streak and I let it go. Maybe you try that too next time.
PS. Sad story, it also tells you've played more than you'd afford to lose; make sure you're careful to avoid playing more money than just for keeping it "fun", even if you're losing some.
Sad to hear. Although the idea was initially bad (trying to win money given that you have debt to service). I could be wrong, but judging by the amount of the bet, not everything is so bad and you can recover even just by keeping earnings from your signature.
In any case, thanks for your thread. Many gamblers brag about their winnings and the fact that you shared a loss will be useful for those who might think that everything is so simple and easy here.

It happens. I reckon you wouldn't be called a gambler if you didn't have these kinds of impulsive actions every now and then. I myself have had that kind of dumb action done quite often in the past, less often nowadays but it still happens from time to time. Best to just move on. Looks like you were using martingale though? I reckon you'd have been pretty unlucky then I suppose, losing it straight out like that. I'd recommend increasing your bankroll but eh, I'd rather you just avoid using it altogether since even with a big bankroll, if luck hits you, it's gonna hit you hard.

This kind of thing has happened to me before, sorry about the loss. But actually it is greed that caused it. This is how it usually happen which could also be the case in your case. You like betting on very low odds, this can be in in-play and like matchs that is about the end but you taking the team that is winning already, having such matches and betting on it Frequently with the total money you have and with the profit you have made all at ones on the small odd game. But there is one disadvantage of gambling, it is all or none, once a match is going against your production, you will lose the whole money you use to bet. If your betting is similar similar to what I have said, better to desist from it, use only small about of money to bet. Do not go for small odds, biggers ones like straight win is better and in just 1 or 2 matches unlike small odds that can result to gambling addiction.
You said gone in minutes and you probably applied martingale by the looks of it but how many rolls did it take? I'm also curious if you had some drinks before you gambled. Anyway, it's going to take a while to shake off the sting but just laugh it off as it's better than sulking over your loss.

Same experience different game. It’s very hard to coped up on this kind of situation and I really understand the pain because until now I still remember my past mistakes for being greedy. I believe you play like this, You are starting low bet but you experienced a consecutive loss bet so you want to recover your small loss by just betting a much higher amount but still lose until you lose it all. This is common mistakes and scenario of problematic gambler but until its still a mystery for me on how come we always end up like this even though we know the possible consequences.

At least you know your fault here and it looks like the rule of the house always wins prevail here. This often happens when we think our method is unbeatable. Happens to me several times. Losses strike us when we think we have our way to trick the system when the system had already tricked us. Better luck next time, I hope we learn a good lesson from your story.
Sorry man. I hope you're okay financially.
He has his weekly earnings I think he will be ok.

Sorry man. I hope you're okay financially.
It can't be understated how important it is to bet within your limits. And if you think that you are getting out of hand with your bets, go out there and take a breather. Stop chasing the losses.
It seems like that you may genuinely have an addiction. Perhaps it would be useful to seek some counseling/use voluntary self-exclusion to help for a bit.
Yeah, it's very unfortunate to hear this kind of news, nevertheless, we've seen this many times already and maybe majority here has experience it (including myself).
No one can help the OP but himself and hopefully he can conquer his addiction and not to put himself in a financial trouble that is hard to get out.
I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope you can recover your money back and able to pay your debt.
Well I have a similar experience like you, playing in slots game and getting addicted because I want to recover my lose. It's a hard lesson for me, but hopefully I don't have any debt, so I don't have bigger problem like you. Playing to recover back is wrong based on my experience, we should understand if we're lose, it's should be normal since the house edge make the house has higher chance to win.
