Topic: Have you achieved anything from gambling - page 8. (Read 2222 times)

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.

Good to know that someone enjoys gambling as an entertainment rather than a way to earn money. I personally believe that gambling is a great choice for the ones who are stressed but only if they consider it as fun activity, when they start thinking about earning a lot of money from it then things go wrong and such people won't be able to destress themselves by gambling.

Absolutely! Treating gambling as a fun activity rather than a money making endeavor has really been a game changer for me. It’s my way of enjoying a little thrill and excitement from time to time. Winning big would be amazing, sure, but it wouldn’t change the fact that Im really in it for the good times and the adrenaline rush.


It's true, the winnings can feel like a real achievement, especially when you use them to treat yourself to something nice. Like you, I've had my share of wins and losses. It’s always a thrill when you win, but the losses are part of the game too. As you say, staying positive always the best!

With patience, we can thinks clear in the gambling and will not tempts from the promotions or anything we see from gambling. We will act as normally and will not spends too much money like other people because we knows that can leads us to playing gambling for more. That will not good for us because we still have not a chance to wins from gambling instead lose that money so we must limits our money and not playing gambling excessively.  With self control and patience, we will be a wise gambler which knows the situations and conditions and will not force ourselves to keeps playing gambling. If we already lose for some money, we will stops our gambling activity and leave the casino because that's the best thing that we can do. We don't wants to gets any problem from gambling as we only playing gambling for fun.

The money we win time to time when we gamble is also an achievement, their are people that don't do any other thing except gambling and they are doing very well a lot of them are basically doing very well, and i have won some money for my self and i have used the money to get my self some nice things, and that is why i said gambling is an opportunity for me to also make money. not everyone will make money and some times i experience loss to. gambling is always sweet when you are making money but when you lose you wont be happy at all, all you can do is continue your luck will shine someday it will happen when you don't even expect it. gambling is something of luck and expectation, you might have high hopes and you still might not win so just stay positive.

Ah, for me, it's normal if many people say what your friend says. the point is as you said, that everyone has their own perspective and point of view. But the point is, not everyone really knows what gambling is and what the risks are if involved in this type of entertainment. not everyone realizes correctly that in essence, if you want to achieve something, especially getting money, the way is to work, do business, whatever we do with effort and something that will definitely be paid for. different from gambling, it is very natural if we have expectations of achieving something. however, what we need to remember and know correctly is that every time we have a gambling session, the results will not be the same. we can win big, and what is certain is that the probability of losing is greater.

So let's imagine, if every time we all gambled and always won, what would happen to casinos. what is certain is that there will not be many casinos operating to provide this type of entertainment service. because, more gamblers win than lose. so, why do we gamble?  the answer lies in each of us.
referring to the title of this thread, in essence, for me personally, no one is satisfied with the achievements they have achieved. when we have achieved something in gambling, psychologically our gambling level will rise. again and again. as in general in our social life, whatever it is related to, including in the world of work. well, if you ask me to achieve something from gambling, the answer is, yes, very often, but every moment is always different, plus it also depends on the luck we have.

I have not achieve anything tangible to say that I did gain in gambling. Instead, what I gain is the lesson from the experiences of losing money. I was able to control myself and value what I already have to not be greedy. These are what I can say to be the things that I gained in gambling. Because if your goal is to gain money and buy things through it, that might be hard to achieve, as we know it's not easy to win and losing is inevitable. The reason why it is advisable to play just to have fun and not with a main desire of winning.

True, it's better to have that good control over your emotions than making money but lose it back because of your addiction, it's something you carry and keep you away from getting into truble especially in terms of financial capabilities, those who are in good stand against heavy gamings orexceeding finances and time frame are people who are prone into addiction, but for those who can quit and stay away when the set time already been achieve that's something special.

Experienced and good practices more likely depending from how you set your goals and how you execute things, is like an achievements where people who loves to enjoy will be beneficiable and allow you to take that entertainment and not to aimed for more money but instead aimed for enjoyment.

I lost a lot of money gambling early on. I myself had many mistakes in losing money at that time. At first I had no idea about gambling and I gambled with no idea, which I can now assume must have been a wrong decision for me to gamble at that time. If I had gambled the same way at that time without taking a break from gambling, I might have lost much more money but I did take a break at that time. After taking a break from gambling at that time, I started gambling again after learning about gambling anew and getting the correct information. In the second step when I gambled with the concept of gambling the results came more in my favor than against.

Basically I consider the past stats and strength of the two teams before betting. Taking past statistics and strength into account, I bet on the team that is ahead based on past statistics and current performance. If the probability is 50% in favor of both teams then I refrain from betting on that match. Basically I bet on the team that I predict is most likely to win and I am very successful with this betting strategy.

That is a whole lot of things to achieve because restricting yourself from being addicted is actually better than winning money. most people have won huge amount of money, and because of addiction they end up spending it back on gambling without investing or using it to make out something useful or tangible. I have actually seen someone who has won so much in gambling, but he cannot boast of something meaningful that he has done with the money, instead he continues staking with a higher amount so as to win more and also increasing his level of addiction.

my dear mate @Alphaliko i am very happy for you, because controlling your emotion is enough achievement, i  can't say for sure or not if i am addicted or not but if i can control my emotions when it comes to gambling then i can comfortably hit my chest and congratulate myself for that.

Yes, to be precise, by being patient, people will be able to carry out all activities while remaining wise and the results will be very beneficial for themselves. and with the patience that exists within us when playing gambling, we maintain good control because it is the nature of patience that will lead us to gamble by adopting a careful and disciplined attitude so that we are prevented from losing a lot of money which often occurs. there.
Yes, by being patient, we will play gambling in an unhurried manner and remain consistent in playing correctly and still making decisions correctly and appropriately.

Yes, I agree with you about how protecting the money won happens to be one of the most hardest task in gambling, and most especially if that individual happens to be a new time gambler, who played and was lucky to have won huge sum of money. Because most times what could make a gambler after winning huge sum to keep gambling more instead of stopping for the day is when such people fail to have self control and a goal/target for his gambling activity, because anybody who has a goal for gambling will always take a break after winning a huge sum, knowing fully well that winning a game while gambling is one occurance which happens once in a blue-moon.

Note: Gambling is not easy, hence if you are lucky to have won, it's wise you take a break.

Indeed, most gamblers are those who have low incomes, so they want to earn money or double their money in a short way. Some people even think that earning income from gambling activities is absolutely impossible.

The real victory from gambling is being able to control yourself when playing and being able to leave the game whether you are winning or losing.

because when you win and get a little money, don't ever think about getting more. it's better to get out of gambling and enjoy the winnings.
Likewise, when you experience defeat, immediately leave the casino or place where you gamble, because if you linger there you will definitely feel like adding to your balance to recover your previous losses.

In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're getting yourself into, and you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're getting yourself into. This is why it is always recommended not to apply greed in gambling or the point is that when you manage to win then it is better to immediately withdraw and do not care too much about the amount of victory that is important that you win even though the amount may be small, because for some other gamblers it is a difficult situation to get, And as you experienced that you can only get a small win and I think it's a good result because as you said that you can produce consistent wins (although it's hard to believe), meaning that the number of small wins doesn't matter because over time if the calculation then the amount must also be large and my advice is that hopefully you can always cash out the small winnings because at least with that money you can help meet your needs.

Only a few of those people earn money from gambling because they are very lucky and because of their exceptional luck they win the house edge of the casinos. Most of the ones who look to make money from gambling end up getting addicted to it, and instead of making money they lose money.

I know we can't consider gambling only as fun activity as it can be a source of income for  very lucky people but if we go deep in it then we can understand that those lucky fellows are less than 1% of the gamblers.

That's why I believe if someone wants to start gambling for fun then it's okay but if someone gets into it for money part then they might get discouraged if their luck isn't exceptionally good. I believe that one should look for the entertainment when they start gambling and if they're lucky then they might get some money as well.

It is the same with me, I haven't gotten anything to be proud of gambling. However, I think it is not something really important because we mostly play gambling games for entertainment or for fun. Fun is the goal, it is the achievement that we got every time we do gambling.

But it cannot be denied that there are many people whose goal is to get a lot of money from gambling. Even though this is certainly different from those of us who only do it for fun, at least we have our own goals and targets in gambling. And all of that will affect how much we spend on gambling and how seriously we do it.

because, it's quite impossible for us to spend so much money if the goal is just for fun. I'm sure I'll think twice about doing it. Don't let it happen that for fun we end up having fun and losing control regarding our spending on gambling. And so far, my luck hasn't been very good when it comes to winning at gambling, even just for fun. 

If anyone who is into gambling has never achieved anything in life, just make sure that the money you are losing is smaller than what you have gaining, I mean your profit should be bigger than what the casino has gained from you, the essence of that is that you are not playing at loss and casino are not reaping you. That also signifies that you are playing healthy and not under some pressure and probably some gambling addiction that you might be struggling to fight silently.

I have seen some gamblers display the big amount they have won from casino, they look motivating and inspiring not to give up but I just play my style and the amount that's for me, you don't have to try thier style because the moment you do, you will realize that their style will not favour you but I used their bet slip as motivation anytime I see them celebrating, imagining winning an amount that a skill worker will work for 35 years in just a night and win another one the following days, some people are born lucky.

I know a lot of people who get into gambling because of the same reason you mentioned, they feel lonely and bored and they think of gambling with a small amount, and that small amount keeps multiplying as they lose and they eventually lose very large sums and then regret doing it but to no avail.

I believe people who feel lonely or bored need to think of and find other activities that they can get involved in where they won't need to waste so much money and will also have a good time. Gambling can be entertaining, but only if you are doing it moderately and with a fixed budget, but as soon as you start gambling recklessly trying to recover your initial losses and losing more and more, you will start to become restless and stressed after some time.
