Topic: Have you ever done something crazy to bet? - page 11. (Read 2509 times)

It seems that it has a certain level to this subject. While some studies consider betting to drug abuse, others believe it's more of a routine or behaviour. Stress and other factors can cause addictive behaviours, such as gambling, making them difficult to control. So, while gambling does not have similar physiological impacts as drugs, it may be a highly addictive behaviour. So I believe it's intriguing that you were driven to the excitement of gambling and the possible benefits at such a young age. Gambling, on the other hand, is for adult brains since it has serious negative consequences for humans if not controlled.

Understanding your own gambling addiction is highly commendable because those who are addicted to gambling never care about anyone else's advice. But anyone who can feel his addiction on his own and wants to get out of gambling can do so. Gambling is fun and we use this fun in such a way that it makes our life very dangerous and destroys our career. so one should be as careful as possible from gambling and follow the limited gambling strategy according to one's financial status and age.

Hey, we all did crazy stuff back then, even me. Some harmless rebellion, right? We learn that way. In the school bathroom gambling? It requires guts. Not smart, but bold. Having fun is very different from getting into trouble.

Gambling can get you down. It must be done properly and within limits. That distinguishes winners from losers. Knowing when to quit and staying focused. Do not allow it affect your schooling, relationships, or future. Playing wisely and in control is the fun. I'd call that a winning plan.

Man, I honestly do not know what is the culture in your country or which ever part of the world you are from, but courtesy has it that, saying your mother stole from you (and even doing that in public) is a total disregard and disrespect for your mum, and with all due respect, soemthing you should be ashamed of.
In the part of the world where I come from, mothers do not steal from their child, they never can steal from their child, they can only take, with or without their child's permission.

Your mother taking some money from your jacket isnt stealing, she has that right to take money from her son's jacket, and before you called or referred to this as stealing, did you bother to think the possibility that she was going to tell you she took money from your jacket and bought a drink for herself, but she forgot?
Man, never refer to your mother as a thief, not even within yourself, let alone, referring to her as a thief in public space, its a totally shameful thing to do, and a very bad behavior.
Your mother has the right to take from you whatever she needs, she can give you that courtesy of telling you, but if she doesn't probably because she forgot to, still respect her regardless, a mother does not steal from her own son.

I see that many people tell their stories about how they stole money from their parents, unfortunately, I also had one time where I stole some money from my stepfather. I was young and hated him because he communicated with me in a rude manner, and then one day I saw his jacket, I had this thought spontaneously and before that I had not thought about it. There were several bills in the inside pocket of this jacket and I took one because I thought he wouldn’t notice. He really didn’t notice, but if the opposite happened, he could beat me for it, so it was very risky. After that, I lost this money on slots and very quickly.

Now I understand that this shouldn’t have been done, because karma returned to me and now I noticed how my mother stole money from my jacket to go and buy myself a drink and this made me very angry. It turned out that it came back to me like a boomerang.

When a child continues to carry out this bad habit by deceiving their parents, of course this will continue to become a bad habit that will continue to other people and indeed most of us have done this by taking some of the money we asked our parents for. for school reasons and using it for the games we play and we certainly can't repeat this habit anymore because times have changed and now we have to be able to control ourselves so that we no longer do things like that so we don't regret it when we don't have confidence.

Haha 😂,
You have managed to successfully take me far back to my high school days, I wasn't involved in gambling back then (yeah, sure thing I was actually raised properly as I didn't even know what the word "gambling" meant as at that time), because I never hear, and neither do I have any friend who was into it.
But I remember vividly there were some group of cult boys who were always being chased around by the police like ones or twice every month in the school, this guys will come to school, but will never step their feet inside their class, they were just going to hang around the school premises, or even in the bush around the school there and play a card game called "whot whot" all through the school hours, and when the school dismisses, they will come out and go home.

There was actually a time a serious fight broke out in our school that time due to the gambling activities of this cult boys, they bet money and one supposedly cheated and won, and when it was discovered that he cheated, he was asked to return all the money he won, but he refused, that was how fight broke out, which later metamorphosed into a general riot in the school, everyone ran for their dare life until police came for bring calm in the visinity.
Crazy old times and memory I must say, I and hope those guys have changed for the better where ever they might be right now (if still alive actually).

Yes, it is true that stealing anything can endanger us, because in my opinion there must be a response to every action. It's not even just stealing, of course when someone is addicted to gambling there are many things they can do to make money so they can gamble again, and it is clear that this action is driven by an irresistible urge to gamble. I really appreciate myself, because while I was gambling I never did any bad actions or things that harmed other people, such as stealing money from my parents or other people, except by risking all my salary on gambling. It's true that everything you do in the future will have consequences and maybe it could be worse than what we did before.

yes, it was a very bad incident, because of the loss of self-control when gambling, but now I can gamble well because I have had bad experiences and think clearly when gambling so that the same thing doesn't happen, because of big wins at gambling Even this can be obtained even with a small betting amount if we are lucky when gambling.

It is normal for a child to go through this but growing up with habit is not something that has to be sustained, though as a child is not easy to control some of this habits but with time you can choose through good and bad, I was also a victim of some shit then but it wasn't easy for me though I scale through, some of us our childhood memory in real sense is just a trash, but what I want is to know is that, as a child there limits to what you can control and thats why you should blame blame yourself much because at this period you can't make decision for yourself, it is difficult to chose between good and bad at that stage, to me I don't see anything that happen then as anything that previously happened as anything, though it is just a memory that we cant leave without.

Ain't really childhood memory for me, mine was at teenage, you know the shit, just getting a little freedom on making your own decisions but the never come home late rule and all that, I was hanging out with some notorious gang back I'm school were I was introduced to street racing using skates, we would place our bets with the board man and get the rolling going, mom was so furious when she found out not about the skating but the bad friends, I was grounded for 2 weeks, I even skipped lots of classes for doing that.

I remember having make some bets with friends on some sport or random events during my scolarity, but unfortunately the gambling culture is not very developed in my country. And people don't like that very much, because it implies to have to accept, or sometimes to claim, money to someone you know when you win. And people don't like that, but in countries where betting is common, people should find that more natural and are not uncomfortable with it I guess.

An early exposure to gambling is always dreadful to the person because there are so many do and don't that he or she will fail to abide with. The basic concept that every young gambler goes with is the taught that they can make good profits through then gambling but I believe that's the whole twist to the taught because with such mentality about gambling, one could end up being useless as he will always running and chasing after lost winning because do the lack of orientation.

Most of us we started gambling at very tender age that led us to do stupid things just to raise money to play gambling. For some people who started gambling this way it was easy for them to play gambling without having any problems while some people got addicted and are still struggling from coming out of their addiction. The easiest way if becoming addicted to gambling is when people starts gambling by peer group,  the friends people  keep. Thst is why parents needs to monitor their children to know if they are in the right environment,  or with the right people they call friends.

This is one of the things that made middle school very fun. Seeing your classmates play and have fun in the class but not getting involved is one of the highest forms of discipline so far because it's not easy to resist such a form of play, especially in a case where your friends are also among them. 
 
If money is not involved in the card game, then there might be less punishment for the students if they are ever caught playing the card game in class, but one funny thing that usually happens during this time is that sometimes you might be unlucky and a teacher walks into the class instead of punishing those who are only involved in the game; they will go ahead and punish the whole class.

Honestly so far and as long as I've known or been involved in gambling I don't think I've ever done anything too crazy in terms of betting, and maybe there are some people or gamblers who go to any means just for the sake of winning, but as we know that is the wrong way. I admit that I've also gambled amounts that were beyond my means but it wasn't as crazy as when you gamble away all your life savings for just one spin like the case being discussed on another page.

This means that I risked an amount of money that I could not afford to lose for nothing more than experimental purposes and wanted to prove whether the amount had an effect on the results or not, but it turned out that it had no effect at all, which meant that I still lost, So in the end after that I was no longer interested in trying some things that were beyond my ability which now makes me gamble with the amount I can afford to lose only, and sometimes it also depends on my desire, or that means even though I have money ready to lose in gambling but if for example I am not interested in gambling then I will not do it, but maybe someone else's story will be different.

Yes, that's right, it's a red line that shouldn't be crossed. Moreover, in my opinion, such actions will not improve the situation, they will only make the situation worse. However, maybe for those who are addicted, maybe they can definitely do crazy things like what you said, namely stealing, because in my opinion, when the action is successful and is not discovered, there is a possibility that the perpetrator will be even bolder, for example stealing other people's money or robbing that harms other people. However, no matter how clever we are at hiding the rafflesia flowers, they will also be smelled, therefore, in my opinion, such actions should not be carried out, I myself like to gamble but have never done anything that is detrimental to other people, because I still have my own limits.

I myself once did something crazy for gambling, namely spending all the salary I got, from the start of gambling everything was fine. However, with gambling which has a strong temptation and attraction, in the end I lost self-control which caused almost all the salary I earned to be lost, but luck was on my side so it reversed more than the losses I experienced, from there I learned not to gamble excessively. and must be able to restrain oneself so as not to lose self-control when gambling.

No matter how poor the people here are, stealing our parents' money is like a childhood memory that makes us remember our previous economic conditions. But in some of the gambling that I did, the craziest thing was betting using money that was supposed to pay school fees, but I used it to buy lottery tickets because I was encouraged by a friend's win the previous day who managed to get money in large multiples.

The amount of money to pay my school fees (around 12 years ago) was $10 for one month... this included subsidies because I lived as a poor person and was assisted by the government for my education. I bought a lottery ticket for IDR 20000 or around $2 at that time.

This experience also meant that I had to not buy food at school for 2 days, because the lottery ticket I bought failed to win a prize. A little crazy, because I live in difficult economic conditions. Luckily I didn't go all in to buy the lottery ticket.

Sports betting, that was mine fondest memories as me and my mates, will go and bet against each other, P2P on games like basketball will the little money we have. Or play some card local card games and then we collude and cheat a classmate that is rich and a lot of money that time.

But at the end of the day, we share the money, our winnings and we go to local arcade and play till night. Those where my memories, and still lingers as some of my mates are no longer here. But for those who are still here, we sometimes talk about it when we meet occassionally.

Of course, as a gambler for many years, lots of experience during elementary to high days. But even if I'm already working, me and may friends will go out on our lunch break and go to the nearest casinos and play until 1 pm and then go back to work again.

Or instances that we will spend more than the allotted break time as we all enjoy. But for childhood memories, there's a lot as well, bringing cards in school and then we will gamble with a game similar to baccarat and we call it "lucky-9".

As a kid and teenager, I've done that but I never did it with other people but only my parents. Yes, it was a wrong thing to do but it's just me that did naughty things like that to the money of my parents.

That experience of yours was sad but that's how it is and you didn't anticipated that she'll have to break up with you for some reasons. Well, I hope that you have already recovered from that as relationships are hard to forget when you love truly the person that have been with you through thick and thin.
