There is no problem in gambling but only with player. Some player are into winning without realizing how much lost they are experiencing. I think having a purpose in gambling will straighten up and will help you to pursue it in a way you apply control. Try to stop gambling and find the meaning why you are doing it. The idea is that you need to know what the feeling is when you stop. Help yourself to keep recovering from gambling, control your self is necessary.

Do you have a job or company where you make a stable (non-gambling) income?
I think the key is to know that money can be used for better investments which can bring steady profits without much risk. With those 50k you had, you could make much more money long term than just gambling them.
You need to change your mind and concentrate on doing business instead of risking your money. Anyways gambling is fun sometimes but it needs to be done with responsibility.

I have lost nearly $40,000 USD in the past month gambling on bustabit, primedice, and moneypot. You would think that I would have learned that I would have learned by know, but every time I have money in bitcoin, I want to gamble it. I even lost 10 bitcoin in one roll on primedice.

I made around $50,000 last month, so I was still able to live, but it's still affecting me. I know the money I am currently making won't last forever, and I need to save it, but it's hard.

It's just burned in my mind to gamble every time I have btc, and I don't know why.

I am a partner big btc company, and am paid in btc, don't want to say which though.

A suggestion I was given was, every time I am paid, to convert to fiat, but idk...

Any suggestions are appreciated..

I suggest you to hold your earnings to your love ones, or family or friends whom you trust the most. Give them your account or even just your earnings in their wallets and tell them to never withdraw it or give it unless you are using it on purpose, not on gambling. You can also lend it to other people and tell them to give it back at a fixed deadline. Or try to stop gambling, write a sticky note saying all your dreams and inspirations why you are earning bitcoin, and stick it onto your monitor or near your monitor. That would be a great help though.

They can chain up your savings into a chest and bury it xP

When any person making already very huge amount $50.000 per month, than it doesn't make any sense why he want to make more, you have still time to quite it for good, just accept what you lost and move forward with positive, I think this would be nice to stop gambling right now.

Usually the people who made $50,000 want to make more and more and they become greddy and emotional and eventually lose it all.


Some people when they have a lot of money in hand, then they will start gambling for fun to spend their free time but slowly they will end up gambling addiction and this kind huge losses are the cause of addiction. So I don't think all rich people will gamble to make some more money from gambling. Gambling is a very nasty if one don't control themselves.

I will say don't keep money in your possession better let them in your bank account. It is what worked for my friend and cut of strictly with gambling sites and all the spare time he was spending in park with friends and family. You need to have good use of time and one week being away you can over come this gambling addiction.
Or invest it on real business that would give you a lock in period before you can divest your investment. We are just being tempted sometimes that why we gamble to relieve our stress without know we already lose a good amount of money.

Hey, OP! Nice to meet a guy who gambles that much, you need a lot of courage to do it... I'm scared to loose even $5.

What I would recommend you to do is to just stop playing with that much money. I am addicted to gambling too, and I am satisfied just by playing with a few satoshis, so it's an unconsiderable amount of $$. Or you can play with bigger amounts of money, but do never gamble for profit, you'll become greedy like you did until now and you won't stop when you need to.

Some other things I can recommend you.... Hmmm, maybe create another wallet, send just the funds you CAN risk to it and play just with that money.

Stay safe, OP! Sad

Hey, Not only You are addicted on gambling but also I think you are too greedy that's why you are in this position. You should know that gambling is too risky for play.it's can destroy a man's life.many people become empty hand by gambling. you should try to console yourself and bet that amount which you can afford to lose.

The creative part of your brain which allows you to be making all that money is also a curse when it comes to risk reward judgements, its like the opposite of depression I guess in that you cant turn off the sparkly lights in your head telling you to just do it!

One thing I did hear from someone kinda obsessed with spending was he used to buy precious metal coins.   Currency specials made up by reserve banks all over the world and in a way its kinda saving that value and diversifying your currency exposure, reducing risk from soverign default scenarios etc (greece or whomever) just like bitcoin is used to spread and allow value transfer away from fiat economies.
So 24 carat gold coins and similar is pretty sparkly stuff and maybe that will satisfy the itch you have and help you to save a bit of your earning potential for your retirement or buying a house or whatever

Man, you got big a problem. You need a psycologist. This problem could wreck your life i mean you spend $40,000 on gambling.  You to go to rehab so can get rid of gambling. Sad to say youre addicted to gambling and you need stop it before its too late. You need selfcontrol so you can manage the situation of overspending.

Gambling addiction is such a serious problem because it could wreck your life and even destroy your family and the time comes that nothing would be left from you. As he suggested you need a psychologist. maybe it can help you regarding to your problem in gambling. Stop before its too late many would be affected and number 1 is your family.

If you think you don't want to use bitcoins, then can ask any trusted family members to convert those bitcoins to fiat currency, or can explain this problem to your partnered company to pay you fiat money after deducted their conversion fee. I think they may surely help you one this matter if they understood your real issue. Take care and good luck.

If i am on your situation maybe i would gone crazy, thats such a lot of amount and many things can you do with that amount here in my country. Very sad to know that you lost soo much btc, ill suggest you must lend your money to other things either  spend on your family needs and wants that would be a lot of thing and also  do have a vacation together with your family that amount should be enough, Its better to lose all your coins in meaningful things rather than doing gambling.

There is just one good way to stop gamble, to find something else and to put all your attention in that. If you have girlfriend that is good, find something to do with her. Also think about some new hobby, something you like a lot. Most important thing is to move your attention from gambling and to occupy your brain with something else.
I heard from one doctor that man need 7 day to adopt habit, and 21 day to lose it. So all you need to do is to hold 21 day.

I'm really sorry to hear about your problem.  I have a few suggestions to add to the other responses.  I would encourage you to find other hobbies that you can enjoy, possible even hobbies that you aren't doing at home or that use a computer, such as: hiking, sports, bike riding.  Something outdoors that will get your mind off gambling and that will keep you away from a computer.  Another suggestion is to get some people around you that are supportive (not other gamblers).  Maybe you could even find someone that would keep one of the keys to a multi-signature wallet, so that you can still get your paycheck in bitcoin, but would require someone else besides you to make decisions on where your money goes.  I hope you get help.  Best of luck to you!

That is true. If one wants to come out of this bad habit, first they should try to avoid using a computer and try to spend time on outdoor games like what you mentioned. It also depends on one what he/she like to play outdoor games and also try to spend more time with your family members and friends who don't discuss gambling subject. As long as one don't talk or see any gambling things for some time then surely they can slowly come out of this habit.

40k usd is a huge money...at least for me...better stay away from gambling,or you can do only sports betting with Martingale strategy? But bet only what you can afford to lose
Yeah, that is really a big amount not only for you but for all of us, I think with that much income he also is pretty idle, as only idle people have time for gambling and seek peace of mind from that games. But gambling will never give you that and instead of giving it may take away your peace of mind.

That's huge money for anyone to lose. That amount hurts. Maybe collect cards and gamble on of you get the cards you want or not. At least you won't waste so much money and have nothing to show.
yes no doubt that this is such big amount to be lost. i think i have never seen some one who has lost such a bit amount of money. but i think that there will so many other people who will also be suffering from such kind of problems.
