Topic: Have you achieved anything from gambling - page 36. (Read 6755 times)

I think every gamblers hope is to win and not to lose always even though the win is small some are still happy because they are not always a losers but also winners. While some are there to win big to change their lives. And those who are happy with the small amount which they won are not the addicted gamblers but those who chase to win big to change their lives are the ones finally become the addicted gamblers. Because all their minds is to win and not foe the fun. And it will be hard for them to achieve any tangible things from gambling because they are always betting with big amount and lose them all.

9 times out of 10 this is what happens when you gamble, the money you so easily got, you don't have issues with spending away and so you use it on the most trivial things like booze and bitches. That's why not a lot of people end up achieving something out of their gambling journeys, even those who won millions of dollars in a single day, cause the gravity of the amount of money they got wasn't instilled in them and the only thing that's on their mind is that they are fucking rich now, so they can do whatever they want without issues.

Eventually as we all know, behaviors like this end up causing the person more than the money that they won, newer addictions, debts, even greater family problems and stuff that they otherwise wouldn't have experienced if only they were a little bit smarter with the money they got. But then again, casinos and gambling platforms bank on this to happen, so you'd go back hoping you'll be as lucky as you were in the past, which will never happen.

I can't say whether I need to achieve anything from gambling anymore or no need. Whatever I am making with gambling is already enough.

If I get a losing streak, that's okay. I enjoy sometimes but not at all times anymore when it's causing me that much stress about the unlucky days.

A small win is more than enough to feel that I am lucky and that give me a sense of an achievement.

My opinion on this matter is that not everyone can do like you. I will say more, you are probably one of the people out of a hundred who have achieved something tangible from gambling. I just don’t know many people who successfully engage in gambling and I know many people who experienced problems with gambling, precisely when these people began to perceive gambling not as entertainment but as a way to make money. I don't know how you feel about this. Maybe you are just having fun but managed to make money, or maybe you spend a lot of time in deep analysis and then place a bet.
In response to your question, I will say that I am more on the side of your colleagues, that achieving something tangible from gambling is a bad idea. If you succeed, it does not mean that other people will succeed too. Gambling should be used for fun. Like your friend, he can spend money in a club in the company, or he can spend this money on gambling. That is, the money that a person is willing to spend can be used in different ways.

Your attitude is not bad, what I recommend is that you continue with that energy but that you must control the most important thing, which is money, yes for many it is sometimes important, but basically here what matters is money, fun and that the person can. stay, many say that what matters is fun, but we have to be realistic, when we Enter a place and play we do it with the full intention of playing to win, if we don't regret it then we'll see each other another day. If we are lucky, but it is Always about Winning, it is also necessary to put money only for the casino, so that if we lose it does not affect our finances, because if they force us to bet a lot, we will not do anything because basically you can lose it.

That's what I'd like to see too. I think if you win anything good making a screenshot confirming that isn't a big deal to do.

Regarding using your money won from gambling for something useful ... C'mon, guys, there are many millions of gamblers in the world, don't you think at least some of them have used the won money properly? I'm sure there are many of such cases, it's just hard to google them because the results are always littered with some unrelated garbage. But I've found the replies to the question "Has anyone ever won a large amount of money gambling and managed to walk away and spend it on something meaningful rather than gambling it away again?" on Quora:

Since you believe gambler that work both luck and skill equally can them able to earn a lot profit, now I will ask you what are those skills and explain it in detail. Many people will thank you if you can help people to make money from gambling.

People only pay attention with the multipliers/odds, but they forgot if loss is inevitable in gambling. Just like trading or investing, they believe they will earn a lot money due to high volatility, turns out their portfolio went halve.

When I start gambling fully, I start gambling with high expectations. Like gambling always try to learn about how to win. Maybe the result is not always in a gambler's favor but if the gambler tries and if they work both luck and skill equally then he/she can definitely get a lot of profit from this gambling section. I will gamble to make a profit and of course I will try to become a successful gambler.

Gamble for fun, and if you are lucky to win big or small, you know that it is a reward for choosing gamble for as a means of entertainment. If you gamble for fun, you will not think about your loss because it was not the reason why you decided to gamble. If you gamble for profit, you will not enjoy the fun, and when more losses comes your way, you will become frustrated because you never considered losing. However, it is funny to see how people think gamble can make them rich overnight. It is not ideal.

It is true that if equipped with patience, a gambler plays with focus and has a very conducive mind because with patience they play under common sense so they tend to make a few mistakes there, namely they will definitely play fairly and not spend a penny. lots of money chasing the things they want. not sure if they will get it.
After that, by having patience, gamblers will have a wise attitude in making decisions that they will soon take, namely playing only for entertainment, not to make money.

There are many gamblers who do not think of gambling as entertainment. They give the most importance to financial matters. But there are many who expect to win in gambling and are also prepared to lose. In each bet they can take as much risk as they can afford. There is no alternative to risk in order to win in bet gambling. I myself take risks and try my best to win even if I don't have any regrets because I know that if there is no luck here I will never win. So bet only the money that I am prepared to lose. I have not only lost in gambling but I have also won a lot. I enjoy both money and pleasure in gambling.

There's no mystery behind gamble money and no one should be deceived that a mysterious power is behind how some gamblers lavish their gamble profit in the wrong direction. There is a thin line of difference in the way individuals do spend any money at all that was gotten without hardwork and rigorous stress process compared to that money gotten  in the opposite of the latter.

Some gamblers view money won from gamble as free money, and as such they spend it in the very notion of free. Another thing is, gamble money comes in unexpectedly so there was no prior plans towards how it was going to be utilized unlike money you had worked for and was expecting, you've a utility for it before it arrives as you're sure of it's arrival. Hence, there's nothing of a mystery but just differed individual mentality and discipline towards any form of money irrespective of the source or channel gotten from.

Yeah actually, but I must mention that gambling gave me with the right hand and collected it back with the left hand, as a constant gambler, you cannot raise your head up and brag that you've made such obvious gains in gambling unless you won an obvious pool of money from it. Gambling blessed me several years ago around $670, $500 and $1k at different occasions, but addiction took it away. The more I won, the more I tried to maximize my profits and I kept losing them to gambling and extravagant lifestyles I was young, naïve and unexperienced at that time though and I attribute everything that happened then as what made me get better in life today.

The only thing I can beat my chest and say I achieved from gambling is that at the time I won my first $670, I used part of the funds to repair my laptop which I destroyed back then trying to be an engineering student. I also got a new phone, the then Samsung galaxy s4. My second winning of $1k i used some parts to finish up my project for my schooling that year before squandering the rest on partying and thinking I would secure another win in no distant time.

Gambling can bless you, but the problem spans from inability to properly manage the funds, I think if I'm lucky enough to cash out big time in gambling again, this time I will be more discrete in my funds management as I have learnt my lessons from previous experiences.

Whenever there is high risk associated, don’t consider it as a source of earning the money. As high risk is associated, hence there is high chance that you might lose the money also. Hence if you really want to make some money, then you need to leave gambling for that. The question that OP asked doesn’t make any sense according to me. As either you need to be very lucky or need to be extremely rich in order to make some great profits from gambling.

Can't blame your colleague's though since there are people who treat gambling as a means to have fun while earning, so everytime they get profit from gambling wins, they'd usually spend it on the other things that gives them pleasure like going to bar or to any five star restaurant.
I've known a lot of people who's like this.
Some people may have bought something tangible like new appliances, motorbikes, gadgets & stuff like these especially during a huge win. In most cases, during a huge win, we usually have to buy something just because we can afford it in cash.

Exactly, yesterday one of my friend who started gambling said that he's made some money from gambling but I told him to be careful because the gambling is not for the ones who want to make money out of it. Sometimes a gambler can make profits and think that he's going to be rich with the help of gambling while in reality that person is not going to be rich but an addict if he/she continues with such attitude.

Yes exactly, gambling is a choice one can make, even when it comes to predictions, the person also have to make a choice. And in every choice there are consequences, so the gambler just have to make one, and that's why even when a gambler predicts a game, it's either he wins or he lose, so every choice comes with consequences. Earning money on gamble is hard that's why one should not gamble to make profits from gamble as gambling is not a side job things. Some gambler have the kind of 100% confidence that's why many gamblers stake too much on bets.

Then maybe it’s not only your friend. I am also a gambler, actually I don’t gamble with much money, so whenever am winning, I do win just little amount of money, so I don’t really do anything special with the money, sometimes I do end up going to restaurants just to eat with the money, or go out with my friends just to flex, but maybe it’s because most of those money are little amounts of money, it’s not what you can really use to achieve anything.

Maybe whenever I gamble with big amount of money, and I win big then I will be able to use the money get myself something I will be proud of. But I don’t really think I will be gambling with big amount of money, I can’t take that risk, it’s better I gamble with little amount of money which I know won’t affect me if I lose.

Yup, the main achievement from gambling is walking away with over a thousand dollars by doing matched betting. Nothing is better than beating casinos and bookmakers by taking advantage of all the welcome offers that they use to lure in new users, often dangling $50 or even $100 in free bets for doing things like placing a $20 bet. They expect the users to lose their money, burn through all the welcome bets and then form a habit that means they lose a lot more money. If you can keep your head straight, do a little bit of preparation to make sure you understand all of the requirements of the welcome offers fully and stay away from gambling once you've completed all the one-off promotions, then you can walk away with easy cash.

I've achieved some profit by investing in gambling services, but as a gambler I've only accumulated losses... Unfortunatelly I've hit the so feared long term gambling, reaching to a total loss I don't feel motivated or optimistic about recovering anymore, so it's better to just forget it. Moreover, I don't feel like I'm going to achieve anything from gambling any time futurely, so I don't have that kind of mindset anymore which gave me hopes of gambling for profits, extra income and consistent gains, because it's not possible to achieve that from gambling, anyway.

I consider my experience with gambling was important to take me to the conclusion I'm aware of nowadays. It took me a considerable sum of money and a decent length of time, but it paid off in the end! You can't really put a price on experience and knowledge acquired! If you want to achieve something in life, you have to work for it. And work can't be completed instantly, overnight. It takes time, preparation, persistence and it's a continuous process which never really ends... So be used to it and find a meaning on it, so you can work and achieve goals in your life with passion, instead of doing it because you have to, in a mechanical and apathetic way.
