Topic: Have you achieved anything from gambling - page 22. (Read 6759 times)

Your colleagues are simply the majority who have not won anything or achieved significant results, it is normal when in gambling many people have not received anything, but others who will win the jackpot will do so at the expense of these same losers. Of course, no one likes to lose or even admit it. If you take my results for all the years I spent in gambling, then I am sure that I lost more money than I won. And if at the beginning of my journey only money in gambling was important, now I have reached a new level and I understand how everything works, so even after a loss I do not give up, if only for a very small amount.

I may not have really outstanding results, but I understood a lot of things that helped me in my life indirectly. I know how far human greed can go and stop at nothing. I learned to feel myself and control my emotions. I enjoy talking about gambling topics, even if for some they are not the most pleasant. All this helps me in life in a partial way, that’s what gambling gave me, even without outstanding results.

I agree that gamblers may not want to disclose how they are feeling about it especially if they just suffered losses, but it is good if they do, so that they will not be alone in this and perhaps could be healed faster if it is at the initial stage of persistent losses or of the addiction. He could find help from friends and family this way. But one thing I will not agree with is people blaming gambling all over the place, why? Gambling is on its own before you decided to visit it, why do you let it affect you to the point that it now controls you and makes you irresponsible to your friends, family and society at large?

This is all on you if that happens as a gambler. See, people like to pamper weakness, but I don't, anything we do not control will surely control us. I know many people who are gambling that none of them is addicted, though I know those addicts too, nevertheless, my point is, do those who are not addicted to it have two heads? No. The only difference is that they accept gambling for what it is, and are never desperate or aggressive about it, and are also cautious about it. That is the right way everyone should view and engage in gambling, otherwise, they will find themselves in a lot of mess.

No one will force you to gamble my friend, it is you who will decide to gamble, and if anything happens as an adult, you should take it like that. Better still, take a long break or quit gambling altogether if it is an issue for you, it is our choice. Lastly, any gambler without a plan and cautiousness will always pay with his psychology, please note that.

Yeah, how we spend our gambling wins is not anyone's concern and I don't tell my family if I had a huge win from gambling, because I don't want them to know that I got it from gambling, but she knows that I gamble.

The reason why is stopped sharing my wins with people is that, the last time I did so, I got disappointed with how the information spread round and nobody agreed that it was them. I felt bad towards it and I had no choice than to share some of it with close relatives. I do buy one or two things after a win but I have not won very big.

The other reason could be money. For example I dont want to be bothered how I spend my money (in case I win money), I dont want to hear any comment if I would stupidly spend them on expensive things or continue gambling and lose them next day. That is none of other persons business what I do with my money. But I would gladly share with other that I have won a car, a device, a picture and etc. And I think people would take it more positive (or at least less negative) if I say I have won $30k worth car, then I would say that I have won $30k.

There are several reasons why a gambler does not want to share anything with anyone else. And the main reason is that gambling is socially viewed negatively. There are many societies where people treat differently who gambles or know about him. And gamblers don't don't expect to treat with them in that way. Because of which he always wants to hide his gambling too. They know that if he shares his gambling with anyone today, others will gradually know him. Moreover, gamblers do not always win but also lose. When he will lose, his human condition will not be normal but at that time others will talk about him in various negative ways which none of the gamblers like.

We definitely have different thoughts regarding the achievements of the gambling we do, one of which is by participating in a betting pool and betting is a long bet because we have to take part in a genuine competition. Others may get different achievements while they gamble.
This is the same feeling I think for us as gamblers, only we have differences in achievement. It's not a matter of winning or not, but there is a certain satisfaction that we feel while we gamble. Maybe winning is something that will definitely make us happy, but we must also realize that we won't always be able to win. Therefore there is an achievement that we change to something else that we can feel pleasure while in it.
Maybe there are also those who have never won in multi betting, they will feel it is an achievement when they win. Others might be happy with different things. Yes we will have fun that is different from others.

Wonder if anyone ever achieved anything besides money from gambling. Or the prize was not money related. Money is an universal gift that we get from gambling. But I would be more happy if I would have won tickets to a game if my favorite team plays. I think sportsbet had competitions where participants could won jerseys and tickets to watch game (dont know about plane tickets and hotel) from vip lounges. What about Lamborghini from freebitcoin? Is it fake or people really win cars? Imho money come and go, but such prizes will be remembered for a long time.

When I started gambling, i never had the basic knowledge of gambling and the best measures to follow in order not to end up as a gambling addict and that action affected me. I started gambling because I urgently needed money then to sort out a very important bill so a friend of mine who introduced me to gambling and also told me of the things I'll have to do in other to get winnings and I followed his instructions which resulted to a huge win I used in solving my financial problem then. That first win in first trial was what I think is my biggest achievement in gambling because of how important it was for me use it and offset my bill but what came after that was what I never planned for.
I started gambling with the mindset that I'll continue to win like I did in my first day but unfortunately for me, I ended up losing everything I had, became a gambling addict and depressed for many months. Like you rightly said, gambling shouldn't be done out of desperation

Yeah, I would consider that  an achievement too. I'm trying to participate in most of them, especially run by Sportsbet.io because there are usually many perks for the participants in the form of competitions with an opportunity of winning free bets and stuff like that. And when I win those free bets and then win some real money from them, I consider that  an achievement too. Other my achievements that I can remember is that  I won two Bitcointalk Poker Tournaments Series. I won thousands of dollars with that.

Of course as good human beings we will try to carry out our daily activities well and properly and if it is related to gambling activities then as much as possible we must carry it out in good and proper implementation and action, yes that gambling is actually a matter of luck then gamblers cannot rely on these activities as a place to find money, use gambling reasonably.
I really agree with you about self-control about money, for all gamblers who can control themselves by limiting the money that will be used when playing then that is a very important step and must be applied every time they play gambling.

When he complains of gambling, he can’t completely put the blame on it because it depends on how you gamble too. First rule is that no matter how good you are, you should never gamble money with desperation. Most times it clogs your view of things and you end up messing up. Gamble slowly and steadily. Some people want to buy houses and cars overnight and gambling for such unrealistic goals would only make it worse.

It may be that your problem isn't with just gambling but with discipline. If you are able to inculcate a disciplined life style into your gambling habit then you will be able to figure out what it is you will be doing with your profits from gambling when you get one, but when you gamble without discipline, you are either just having fun or satisfying an addiction.

Giving yourself false hope that you are going to win big probably in the next trial will only lire you to continue in spending all your money at the casino a d never getting to the point where you will be able to get the best out of gambling meanwhile there are others out there which you can see evidently making the most off gambling and you aren't making the most off gambling like you are expecting to be doing.

When next you save, learn to apply that discipline to applying restraint to talking that money which was ment to be saved to start gambling because most likely you may end up loosing the money and may eventually not get to be able to make anything out of it again a s you continue insane circle for that long time and will never get to do anything off gambling.

Some gamblers take this as an exit when feel stressed and want to relax their mind from problems. Some also do this for friend gatherings. But the majority had think about money, earning more and achieving more but guess what, more of them had failed because gambling is not like a wheel that we can drive in the direction we want to go, without luck, we never get any. We are experiencing more losses rather than winning, that is the real thing.

Well, I'm happy for OP's achievement but I have no complaints either of not getting any because I already understand that not all become too lucky in gambling.

I believe that we as human beings will always tend to do things well for what we like, we will always look for a way to do what we like even if it can play badly for us on some occasions, the game is purely given to luck, with the exception of sports betting that is based more on knowledge, then in view of these things one has to have control over what can make you lose and have a Bad time and have the discipline to control what can be controlled, and for me it has always been money, as long as we have control of money I think everything will be Fine.

That's right, that's street smarts. 
But I think that among gamblers there are too few such happy gamblers who were able to make a fortune or open a business only due to a large win in gambling or due to their skill, experience, luck and intelligence.  As a rule, such guys often simply support in the public space the argument that they were lucky and the money only comes from winning. 
But in fact, all their money did not come only from winnings.  Well, in most cases, the lucky person simply maintains such versions of his wealth. 
But the origin of money for business is different.  And this is not gambling. 

These tales are very similar to the tales about happy traders who made 100x on the next meme coin and earned millions of dollars.  In fact, this is just insider information and a special scheme for its implementation.

It's possible if that's just a small amount.

But I know right that it's quite hard because many have tried to do that and to no avail, that made them lose more money.

So achieving anything is possible but you have to go through with some hardships through as you gamble. And knowing that this is gambling, you have more chance of losing instead of winning.

There can be moments that we can say that it's harder than the actual plan that we're trying to achieve.

I will draw conclusions and repeat several important points that you have conveyed above, namely that in gambling it is impossible for a gambler to win continuously because there is no certainty and any guarantee of always being able to end the session with a win, and this is also the reason why many people which says that whatever method or methods you use in gambling will not change any results at the end of the session, which means winning only depends on how lucky you are during the session. And another point is that gambling has positive and negative sides, that's true, because in any case that provides an opportunity to win, there will always be something that must first be sacrificed.

for example, in public work where an individual has to sacrifice time and sweat a lot when working to get a salary at the end of the month, meaning it is impossible for the casino to give easy winnings to gamblers just by pressing the button to start betting, there are no significant results just by little effort. Therefore, this is the reason why everyone is given common sense or inner thoughts, which are useful for thinking and making decisions that are really correct and wise, and I am sure that if someone can use their common sense correctly then it will definitely not be possible for them to pursuit of victory in gambling.

Another thing, yes, I agree with your idea that usually gamblers who are addicted will not be able to utilize their winnings wisely by spending it on whatever they need, because usually, as you said, they will actually end up overdoing it or using their winnings. to take a much greater level of risk.

I have bought some clothes that I wear that on a regular day, I wouldn't use my money to buy them because I can't afford them, I have the money but I can't afford to use my money for them but gambling has made me buy them and I like it, it shows I'm improving because I see it as free money and I can have some good dinner that I can't afford to waste money but you see that huge money, I'm yet to make it and that's because I don't stake high, i stake what I can afford to lose.

I have also witnessed many times how some guys who came from nothing actually made something from gambling, they have made money from gambling, he has build his own house, build business like club, a gym place, a restaurant, a barbing saloon, this is somebody that has nothing before and I'm humbled about his story. Indeed gambling isn't where you are coming but how smart you are and isn't the type of school smart but street smartness.

I admire your sincerity. There are many fakers who have not achieved anything, and they will continue to disturb people about how they have been winning, and they are all lies; they are just looking for ways to avoid being judged, and if you are not winning, it is better to be honest, because there is no way you can win continuously, so you should set boundaries so that you do not become an addict. Also, having a budget is beneficial so that you do not end up spending all of your money. However, if you have a budget, you will be able to spend on more reasonable items.Bro gambling has both positive and negative aspects, so it now depends on how you want to play.

There are people that win huge, but the question is if they utilize the money to save anything for yourself, which is the most important factor to consider while spending your money that was gotten from gambling and don't have any issue with gambling the issue i have is with the bettor.People who are hooked will not want to use their money to achieve anything, but rather to gamble more. Addicts are always greedy and will think about nothing else than gambling more, because their money is theirs to do whatever they want with it.

Yeah! 
This is absolutely correct.
 Gambling itself is perceived differently by players.  Some people think that this will make money.  But those who have a lighter attitude towards life always understand that gambling is, first and foremost, entertainment.  And it is always much easier for such players to survive large losses of money in the game when a losing streak begins.  But those players who treat gambling as an income, in my opinion, are much more upset about the lost money.  I am more inclined in my game to the option that I am just having fun and my soul is happy.
 And if I lose, I even forget about it quite quickly. 
And this, in my opinion, is the best option for gambling.
