Topic: Have you achieved anything from gambling - page 31. (Read 6755 times)

 I bought my first motorcycle with the money I got from gambling back then in sports betting where normally play my double chance option thou it has been loss and win before I now made the big hit that gave me the money I used in buying my first motorcycle. Gambling is a win or lose gain but everyone gamble with the hope of winning and I could say that it also has much to do with being lucky.

Gambling have helped me pay someone school fees in the university, it happened sometimes back when I hard a winning of about $250 which is a huge amount in my local currency, and at that time I hard someone close to me who was about to miss some exams because of lack of payment of school fees, so I gift about $75 out of the winning to the person.
Ever since then, I have hard an excitement inside me seeing that I could help someone through my gambling winnings.

And it perfectly shows that your style of gambling is very correct. I am sure that you were able to get a lot of positive emotions for all the gambling you participated in. And it's much better than winning a lot of money, but because of this, you start constantly worrying about gambling and get addicted. And then play all the winnings at all. Definitely, for casino sites, you are not the best client from whom you can constantly take money

Very well said and I completely agree with you, and we kind of share the same story, and this is why I know that you are totally honest with all that you have said.

For me, I think I only gambled, that is placed some bets on some lotto numbers, this I did I think twice or thrice before I completely stopped because it didn't actually capture my interest.
But when I got into crypto and later after some years discovered that I can actually gamble using crypto, I picked interest in gambling again.

Long story short is that, today, I gamble, but not all the time, and most of the time, I don't actually gamble with the full expections of winning money, but I often engage myself in gambling most of the time solely for the purpose of first hand experience, which also helps me to flawlessly participate in gambling discussions like we do on this forum and on this board.

This lead me to say that, gambling is not all about making money or gaining material things, but sometimes, we should be happy as gamblers even when their is no win, atleast, we can be glad for the experience.

I am one of the few people who practice gambling as a recreational activity, so I have not had any luck winning large sums of money the number of times I have tried my luck. The largest amount was $100 that I got more than two years ago, but I make small profits that I spend all of it on bets to try out the features of the platforms I visit. The benefit I get is accumulating experience in dealing with gambling platforms in general, which qualifies me to participate in discussions on various social platforms and help others.

I had no interest in the gambling industry before the integration of cryptocurrencies. Because I am convinced that the gambling industry was one of the most important sectors that helped spread crypto culture, I will not stop supporting it.

Everyone gains something from gambling, some gain profit and some gain loss. Gambling is a fun place but those who take it seriously end up losing a lot of money at some point.  While gambling you will win occasionally and those wins will push you to continue gambling and you will continue to gamble with greed and gradually you will become deeply addicted to it. Gambling eventually leads to death for many. So gambling cannot be taken seriously from the start. It should be used with great care

Any individual who sees gambling as a means of making money is at the edge of putting themselves in a great danger, I'm not saying gambling is bad and people shouldn't gamble but if you must you must do that in a responsible way, now not seeing gambling as a major source of income is a responsible way to go out it and that's one thing anyone who intends to go into gambling should take note of.

 Anyone who's not a risk taker or anyone who can't stand losing money shouldn't go into gambling for the first place cause they're going to be disappointed when the finally lost and those are the people that would want to chase their lose and end up becoming addicted and as for those individuals who are risk takers, you should risk what you can afford to lose do not go risking it all, all in the name of taking risk.

Gambling achievement depends on how we are giving interpretation for it, if we really believe that it's not until we make a big win while gambling before we can say we have achieved something in gambling, then we may be able to count a lot of achievements we have already made with gambling for the benefit of those yet to hit a winning jackpot ever since their gambling, there is lot of fun in gambling, we make use of our precious time wise on something worth it, we learn and have experience from how we could play bets and apply same in life reality, which to so many people were all achievements already and not until they win big.

Yes that is the real concept of gambling where the house will always have the upper hand and will always have the upper hand which is the reason why someone who makes gambling as a place to earn income in the end they even suffer from losing large amounts of money. We must understand that gambling is actually a business for casinos that will only benefit the casino itself, so this is the reason why it is really not recommended to treat gambling in an excessive way such as betting large amounts because in the end you will only waste money.

So as you said above that we have to realize that from the beginning of the involvement, simply put if you absolutely do not want to lose money then obviously it is better not to gamble, but if you are able to be responsible for all decisions about risk taking that you have done then it does not matter if you want to engage in gambling. And however clearly some of these facts are a big reason why it is better to make gambling a place to have fun because there is no guarantee and certainty in terms of winning along with the possibility of losing risks that can occur at any time making gambling can never be made as a place to earn. Another thing I think most gamblers who are trying to make a win in gambling should change their mindset immediately if they want to survive in the long run.

Not being able to judiciously use your winnings for something meaningful has nothing to do with the casino but rather one’s self because just as you the op has already said that, he uses his money well, so as  some other people who also do the same and there ste people who gamble professionally and also be able to build a house and also make great impact.

There are people just like the friends of op that always want to blame the casinos for their lost, and these are some strategies to feel better after making losses.

I think I can slightly conclude that you are one of the gamblers who knows about how gambling actually is so that you think that gambling is a place to find entertainment which you also do the same thing by making gambling a place to find entertainment when you are in your spare time with boredom and not to make money. And I agree with you that if we are too hopeful about winning in gambling actually the opposite will happen in the sense that instead of making a lot of winnings but what happens instead you experience more losses, and maybe I would also say that by having the intention and purpose to earn then actually it is an idea that will ultimately lead you to more regret and disappointment, Because after all gambling will not always go your way, and this is the reason why a gambler is only allowed to bet small amounts without excessive expectations of winning, which indirectly this approach will make it easier for you to account for the decisions you made at the beginning when it turns out that at the end of the session you lose.

but people who have played in the gambling area will find it difficult to come to be normal before. Most of it starts from friends who gamble and win big until friends or neighbors see the incident and feel they want the same thing as that friend. which causes people to consider gambling as the main pursuit of money and leads to ruin. It's true that gambling is just for entertainment

I personally have not gained anything from gambling and I also don't really expect anything from gambling because I realize that gambling is just to entertain ourselves in our spare time, so if we hope to achieve something in gambling, we will most likely be willing to spend a lot of money to always place bets, if only we are lucky after spending a lot of money and can get what we hope for, but if that doesn't happen then we will regret losing the money we have because of chasing. something uncertain in gambling.

Everyone looks at this as financially, but to be fair I have made a lot of great friends from gambling and it is sad to see that not many people point that part of this deal.

I mean I have been gambling at crypto for over ten years now and I have met with amazing people, I am one of the few people who talked with just-dice group when they first started, or even had a chance to chat with Stunna, not talking about just a few pm's, I mean literally chat with him when it all started, and ever since that day I have been talking with a lot of friends in the gambling world, some came and some went, not still in contact with all of them and even meeting with new ones everyday. That part of it seems like the most fun for me, I have peaked into life of so many different people, it gave me some perspective.

It is not things or entertainment that spoil life, but man himself by his actions. TV can give more positive emotions compared to spending money in a bar with friends, but on the other hand it can be a weapon of propagandists. So it's not about things or certain entertainment, but about the person himself and his actions. Each of us is given only one life, that is why each of us has the right to choose how to have fun and relax. And in general I think that buying any necessary thing with the money won is a good enough habit.

However, there are gambler that have achieved a lot from gambling and guess what, there is this Nigerian woman that just won a sum of 48 million naira with a stake that's not up to $10 but the money she won is very interesting ($33,400 when converted to dollar). So I still believe that there are many gamblers out there that have achieved a lot from gamble but they just decided to keep it on a very low profile.

If that makes someone happy, why not? But, as with everything else including gambling itself, excessive use of something what you really like and what brings you happiness in small doses, can ruin your holiday and in the end damage your whole life, so, be careful with that. You wrote about a fellow gambler who got a new TV with the money he won from staking, and I immediately thought: "Oh, man, can a TV set ruin your life!"

Yes, it should be like that, but in reality it is very difficult to do because we gamblers will never know what temptation the host will give us, because no matter how smart we are, if we are not able to resist the temptation in gambling, we will still be tempted one way or another. later today.
Yes, I agree with you, indeed we have to play gambling appropriately so that we avoid losing a lot of money and we have to try to understand and analyze well that gambling is an activity just for fun, filling free time which is quite boring, not for get money quickly we have to throw away that kind of perception from now on.

To have a mindset of achievement in gambling can be dangerous and that is why many gamblers tend to fall with the greed and they keep trying because they have determined in themselves that they would achieve that especially if they are envious type and envying their friends. To win big in gambling doesn't really have to be a predetermined thing, it just happens because gambling has an element of luck. But if you have played without that winning, you can take a break and try next time. However, I have seen gamblers who have won big but yet didn't achieve anything with it because they lost it back as a result of greed.

With knows what important in our lives and allocates money to that important things, we can knows how much money we have so we can try to allocates some money to playing gambling. But if there's no money left in our finance, we don't have to force ourselves to playing gambling because that can makes us in a trouble. We must allocates the money in the right things so we can manage our finances properly and not have a problems. Playing gambling can makes us lose that money so we must be wise to manages the money and not just use for something that we don't needs. People who still risking their money by playing gambling to wins must thinks twice because they will difficult to wins in gambling so they must be careful using their money to playing gambling.
