This is just my two cents on bitcoin gambling.

I made quite a bit of money back in December when the bitcoin price was roaring. I quit my job since then and been obsessed with bitcoin investment.

Things didn't turned out as people hoped . Bitcoin price went downhill and i started to chase my loss. How ? Yeah, as stupid as this may sound.. Bitcoin Dice sites. I have lost over $50k in past years gambling in dice sites like Primedice, Bitsler & Yolodice. My personal life was devastated with sights of depression and bad relationship with my wife.

It was almost like i was somebody else when i click that auto roll. The adrenaline was like a drug that got me high. As much as i regret quitting my job and betting high on auto roll I learnt to forgive myself.

My advice to you guys is that betting minimum on 2X with 100% increase on loss will NEVER pay your bill.
well everyone knows that, only people like you dont.
I would suggest visiting professional help

I will also advise doing that, it's hard to get over with that experience the worst scenario is for you to try to get back your losses again, it will become a vicious cycle which you cannot fight, only a professional can do that for you, do it now before it's too late

OP has done the opposite. He has quit his job for bitcoin gambling which is just insane. No matter how much good you earn with bitcoin and gambling, these things can be done in part time. So why we should leave the day job ?  I think everything should think twice if they are planing to quit their jobs for bitcoin gambling.
it’s just weird, I try to imagine how unbearable life would have been for him. I never believed people could actually quit their jobs for gambling until I read the story of this OP, it is wrong on every side. One can do the two things together, that’s working and gambling. No matter how much gambling looks like it’s paying, it cannot be compared to a more secured job. Well, I hope everyone learns from the mistake of the OP rather than committing similar mistake out of their own pockets.

The money generated by the gambling industry can really make a person contemplate about doing it full time though i think we all know it's a trap. There will be days when you'll end up at the better end of each and the therr will be days when you'll be on the losing side. Eitherway, if you have responsibilities, it's not an act of a responsible person to compromise a more stable source of income.

yes you are right a lots of people know that they cannot make their profit by investing like this but the people will not carry forward their intelligence something like this situation so that time the people need guidance and help.

Good advice.

But it would be great too if you can advice for someone who has made a lot with bitcoin or gambling that you shouldn't never ever leave your job unless you find yourself stable.

You will only realize your mistakes when nothing is left, too bad you learned in a hard way. The money you spent is really huge and if ever it happened to me I think im not in my right mind now. But in light of that, you are now aware of what gambling can do to your life if you didnt think of what might be the consequences of being a gambler.

Sharing your story will be a lesson for gamblers who think we can rich quick in gambling, well there's no such thing unless you hit the jackpot in lottery but its one in a million chance.


Sometimes the hard way is the best teacher

If we have left with nothing and our love ones and friends is nowhere to found because they are sick and tired from our addictions in gambling

Then realizations come and we will find ourselves crying tears because of the mistakes we commit.i am saying this for my own experiences and now i am new person from that said mistakes,thanks for sharing OP and hope now you will not allow that to happen again

That is truth.  I really learn from the op story and to avoid resigning from my job.  I have been meditating this for long and I have trying to take the step but something keeps drawing me back and I think trading and gambling should not be depend on as a source of income but as an addition.

That's correct, we can learn from his story and as a gambler we don't need to experience loses just to learn.

By considering the risk in gambling, I'm pretty sure if we are discipline enough we will be able to control ourselves and manage our funds properly.
Gambling is very risky for us since we don't have an edge, thus we don't win most of the time, if this reality will sink into our mind, I don't think we will loss more than we can afford to loss.

When you google tips on what to do when you suddenly become rich one of the first on the list will be to never quit your job at least not until you feel comfortable in your new situation and are able to produce steady income. You did what most people do. Got too hyped and it lead you to bankruptcy. Gambling is fine but I would never send 50000 to a casino. This is supposed to be fun not a life changing experience.

I believe that accumulated amount that he lost was the turning point  and realized what was really going on with his life. He learned his lesson the hard way and I think everyone has his moment in life where you need to pick up yourself from a devastating point. It just that his was very expensive lesson. I admire people who can admit their mistakes in life and correct their path rather than be consumed by depression all throughout his life and don't make any drastic change for the betterment of his situation.

Thank you OP for sharing your story, the ability to share means you have had the courage to let go and start all over and this is a great inspiration. I am sorry about your loss and I hope you will recover soon , if you can, do take advantage of the ongoing bear market in preparation for the 2020 bull run.

I think the greatest mistake you made was quitting your job at that period but well,its past now, just let it all go, get a new job and start all over. I wish you better luck next time Cheesy.

There is a life outside GAMBLING so if i were you i will make a fresh start by quitting this area and find some place where theres no need for risking money just to gain more

Go back to your Job and make a living outside gambling

OP has done the opposite. He has quit his job for bitcoin gambling which is just insane. No matter how much good you earn with bitcoin and gambling, these things can be done in part time.

Lol. I guess you learned it in a hard way. Yeah, first of all why would you quit your job for gambling? That's the biggest mistake you have made. Never quit your constant and guaranteed source of income for something that has no guaranteed form of payment. Secondly, yeah chasing after losses will just make things worse and I guess most of the gamblers already knows thing. Finally, the 2x 100% increase on loss will only work if you have infinite balance when gambling.

You really got eaten by greed. Thank God eventhough sometimes I can't resist to play atleast I know in myself that I can't do such crazy thing. That's a lot of money plus lossing your job is really crazy because of gambling. Atleast mine, even lossing is painful, I only play and lose what I can afford.

Sad to hear that you lost 50k, but gambling should never be your main job. Gambling should be something you do for fun with money you can afford to lose, and of course, you never play with rent or living money.
Many people lost all their life saving because they got blinded by greed.
The worst part here is that OP lost his job too which will make it harder for him to start over.

@OP, start looking for a new job or ask your boss to take you back. No one is perfect but we should learn from our mistakes.

The thing is OP is not wise as other gamblers, he is a victim by the dopamine of gambling. Remember that small amount of dopamine to every thing will lead to some serious addiction unless you have the control to yourself or the people surrounds you can lead you to quit it. Sad to hear about that OP but I guess that's not the end for you if you change perspectives.

Quit gambling, live life, have a fvck*ng job again (make it permanent if you like it), and mostly prioritize your family nothing else will be the one to support you rather than them.
Sincerely I can’t begin to imagine how a sane person would loose a whopping $50k. This is a pure case of addiction that needs urgent attention. And he was not sensitive enough to quit till he got to the root end of the money.

Well, I am convinced he would have learnt gambling self-control in the hard way. OP is blessed to have a good wife who is still with him even in this trying time. I hope he heals fast, get a job as you have advised and learn to put family first. I am really sorry for the big amount of money he has lost. It is sad.

Op should need to learn on how to control their emotion because losing $50k is a big amount of money gambling is for fun sometimes you will win but losing is more and in the end you will realize your mistake Im also being addicted to online casino way back 2017 I lost some money but its okay because I enjoyed playing games like dice, poker and slot machine Smiley
I believed the OP was one of those people that thought crypto currency is a path of a quick and easy money which is why he quit his job and rely on gambling whereas he can choose the bankroll investment which still seems good but since he as learn how to forgive himself the next he ought to do is knowing the rules and regulations involve in every investment he want to participate

Thank you for sharing your story. I hope that everything works out well for you in the end. Sadly, many people think of gambling as a way to generate an income. People need to understand that gambling is just another form of entertainment and they should take definite steps towards protecting themselves and their money from it.
