Losing all of my job paychecks in a few hours in a high stakes cash game and being in a slightly drunken state that left me out of control and unfocused.
and then I work hard to make up for the loss by working in one of the car washes after I get home from work which only gets a car or two just enough to eat and a few cigarettes, this is a very bad thing for me. Because I spent all my newly received salary on gambling for only a few hours and was a little drunk and I felt very tired after coming home from work having to work again to cover my losses and for my needs for one month.

I have read the same experience with the others that they've spent the salary they've just received and lost it all in gambling.
This isn't just all in the web stories but in the real life, I've known a lot in the circle of my friends and friends of friends that are like this. It seems that they can't help themselves anymore and they can't stop it due to the addiction they are experiencing.
Eventually, when they've been stuck with the reality that there are no other people that will help them to get up, they've tried to mitigate it and gradually overcome it.

Totally a waste,eh?
People never ever learn which some of people do really still continue to play despite of the financial situation they do have.Who would really be on their right minds
on spending up their hard earned money from work into gambling? Losing it all in a matter of short time
It would continue until you would bust up everything and this is the time you would really be stopping since you dont have anymore funds for you to make use.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that people tend to evaluate themselves as "special" and wait for a miracle. After they lose the deposit, they return to reality and no longer give in to dreams (this is in a good case, in a bad case they believe that next time everything will be different and they will be lucky).

It is common sense for one to know when the odds of a win in a day are in ones favor or against them. Losing is the pain that every gambler must experience before even tasting the delicious rewards of a win. Those who feel so called 'special' and always hope on miracle after gambling recklessly often end up sadder than then they began the game.
I don't take or play gambling like a do or die affair. In this way I am not tormented by the regret of losing on a game I should have won, if I played this, instead of that.

Gambling playing supposed have a specific amount of money from a salary, because when you are not planned of the money you have, and you are a gambler you end up of having nothing. And it's not advisable to lend money or use all the monthly earning to play gamble hoping that gamble will return a profit within that time, playing gamble does not have guarantee or assurance that you will win. Because their is every possibility that you won't win or neither win, so in gambling it's like trade by barter, and their is no assurance that you will win

Everything should really be having limitations and specially if you are spending up those funds came from your salary then it would be just common sense that you should really be that
mindful on how you would really allocate funds for your leisure needs which it would really be just common sense that you should really not make yourself spend too much
or else you would be fucked up in terms of your finances.Worst days would always be happening because dealing with gambling in longer runs would just mean out on losing,
house do always win in the end thats why dont push yourself too hard or else you would suffer.

I believe everybody has their worst day in gambling especially if you started gambling early maybe in your teenage age. My worst day was when I used my school fees to gamble because I thought I will make more money to take care of some of my needs in school. At the beginning I was making profit for 2hrs,I was carried away with the anxiety of winning but later the game turned round and I was losing and losing,I didn't quit hoping I will recover my lost. Before I knew it I was left with 10% of the money I started with, I couldn't just quit the game then because I still feel I will start winning again but luck failed me and I got drained of all I have on me.

Two weeks later it was announced in school that we only had one more week left for closure of school fees payment, I tried borrowing, seek for help everywhere but nobody could help me with the money. This was how I couldn't pay my fee for that semester and went home with carry overs after the end of the semester as I was not allowed to write some exams.

How about you do you had a worst day on gambling that you will never forget ?Did it affect an aspect of your life and how ?

This is really strange to me how I could ever used the fund meant for something important to gamble and lose everything. I think this happens as a result of addiction in gambling and having great expectations. We shouldn't always have great expectations in gambling since we are only playing to have better luck and chances to make profits.
This kind of experience is happening everyday and we need to be very careful to ensure that we are not going to fall in this kind of addiction that could make us loss every single money we ever have with us.

It must be very difficult, my friend, I hope the same thing doesn't happen again to you, my friend.
You should not repeat the same thing (playing gambling in a drunken state). In a conscious state sometimes we can't control our emotions in the game, especially when we're drunk, it's very clear that all these things will happen quickly. We must avoid this kind of thing, which used to play for fun but in the end we have to feel worse because of our own carelessness.

If you actually learned from ot then, the lose has profited you in some way. In a way that you know when to draw the line and be sure to keep to it. You try not to compromise and you would be good otherwise, it won't be your last time loosing a 2 month salary in an hour, now that's painful you know. A hard earned 2 months and worst if you've got family that are hoping on that money.

Gbling can be rel tricky and that's why it's best played by matured minds and not just adults by age. Too bad the online restriction relies on you just clicking I'm over 18 and we can't place a line on maturity/discipline.

Experience is indeed a valuable asset. This oddity amazes me - everyone knows that Martingale does not work, but everyone tries it and only after personal unsuccessful experience they abandon this strategy. It happened to me and it happens to many other gamblers. Perhaps this is due to the fact that people tend to evaluate themselves as "special" and wait for a miracle. After they lose the deposit, they return to reality and no longer give in to dreams (this is in a good case, in a bad case they believe that next time everything will be different and they will be lucky).

After experiencing such a heartbreaking experience after spending school money on gambling, you can think subjectively when going to take an action based on the experience you have had. Not all actions that we think are right can go according to plan, because every action will never be free from risk. Gambling using hot money is not recommended, especially if you use school fees. I can understand how you feel after spending all your school fees on gambling, it must be very frustrating to have to find replacement money as soon as possible. Inevitably you have to accept this harsh reality, this experience will always be recorded in your head and you will be more careful about using hot money for something that does not necessarily guarantee a return.

I remember how I have lost my collection of Turbo chewing gum inserts in obviously loosing bet. I cant remember exactly what were the rules and story behind, but all that I remember was me bluffing and to look cool among kids, I have accepted bet. And I was sky to say no, did not want to lose gained that day reputation Cheesy

Even though now I remember that case with a smile on my face, but that day I though my life has stopped, as I was collecting and gambling to build my collection during a year or more.

sometimes our intuition points us the correct direction but our brains end up being stubborn and don't listen to it
quite a difficult thing to master.

this story also reminds me that sometimes when we lose, we win
so maybe you could learn something out of the situation

Yeap, I've learned that day, that it is hard to earn money. I think I was 5 or 6 years old. I've earned that money by collecting garbage (sort of a cleaners helper), keeping change after helping during shopping, doing other house work for small money (lol). Not to mention time, nerves and etc spent on building my collection. Cant say that this was a very valuable lesson, I think I've learned the value of money to early.

Even when i win at gambling i know how to stop myself. I would never gamble any money i need. Maybe i can't make a lot of money because i don't take risks. But i know myself. If i gamble with the money i need and win, i will continue to gamble. I know very well that if you don't set your stopping point you will hand over your earnings to the table. I'm constantly thinking about possibilities. For this reason, i did not make much money in gambling but i did not lose money that i would regret. The reason for this was the player cards gambling that i played with my friend at a young age. You know player cards were famous in childhood. I gambled with my friend to collect more cards and i lost all the cards i had. I had no financial loss but it was a great lesson for me.

Just as we have worst fays in gambling same we still have the better days there also, most of us like to only talk about the bad experience but go on mute whenever the luck works on our side on the better days, this is common I think in most settings ad well, i believe every gambler has a story to tell with his experience in gambling both the good and the bad, but what remains constant with gambling is loosing and what a gambler often benefitted is the pleasure in gambling.

My worst experience in gambling happened on my college days. I was new to crypto that time and looking for some source of income that can provide financial assistance to my studies. I stumbled to a sportsbetting website and checked how it work. A money line bet got my interest because the mechanics of the game are very simple, you just need to predict what team or player that is going to win the match, usually the team with lower odds is likely to win the game. I asked my friend who also knows bitcoin to send some to me and I will pay him in cash when we see each other. I can't remember how much exactly is the value he send to me that time but it was 0.002 btc and I managed to make it 0.01 just by betting on lower odd teams. I was very happy that I can't contol myself out of excitemement. On the last game I put a bet on, I went all-in thinking that if I will win, it would give me profit half of my current capital. But after few minutes and I haven't receive any amount, I look at the bet history and found out that I lose the game. It was evening that time and I wasn't able to sleep until morning. I always keep thinking about it for few days and regret what happened.

Playing all-in always leads to the same result, no matter if it's gambling or trading... I don't know if it's fair to say that I had the worst gambling day, because I always played for small money and even though I don't like lose, but I can't say that it became a tragedy for me. Probably when I lost my entire deposite, I also could not sleep for a long time, but it was a good lesson for me, playing all-in always = loss of money.

Usually gamble should be conducted by a certain amount of money that they can lose. But if someone forgets this basic idea and gambles with the hope of profit, then he can face a worst day any time. If one can do money management in gambling then good results can come to some extent. Naturally gambling depends entirely on luck so any kind of worst situation can be imposed on a gambler.

Most people forget about it especially when they are on the momentum where the game is intense and they will more likely ignore the fact about that simple rule and regret it later. It's really hard to regret especially when you realized you cannot get back what you've lost that easily. Later on, more regret will come when you are in need of that money you've just lost. So it's really better to assume that you need to prevent yourself from doing those things than to think about the remedy later because sometimes it doesn't exist.

It was natural that they would forget about it because of the fun factor they had already gotten. But that won't apply to people who enforce strict rules for themselves to keep from losing too much. Playing gambling with money management within a certain limit is highly recommended for every gambler, whether a new or old gambler, so they can avoid losing a lot of money in gambling. We already know that gambling will depend on luck that will come to us so by considering that luck factor, we try not to expect too much to get a lot of wins. Later there will be time for us to get that many wins so we should enjoy the gambling game while limiting ourselves so we don't lose a lot of money.

You gambled with your future and that was extremely unacceptable. But I understand; youthful exuberance. I would never have gambled with my school fees because as a student my academics was my topmost priority.

Anyway, I gambled once with my entire daily wage and I really regretted my action because I lost. This experience is a memorable one because they job I did to earn that money was risky and very tedious. I had to work under the rain just to earn a little cash. In the process of doing the job, a man came and convinced my supervisor and me that he had some pool numbers that were sure bets. After much delibration, my superior tipped him and he gave us the numbers. After receiving my pay I rushed to the gambling house. The most painful part of it was that none of the numbers played.

My worst gambling-related day was the day I lost about two months' salary in an hour. I played Martingale then and didn't calculate the initial bet, which led to the fact that after several consecutive losses I simply had no money left.

This situation allowed me to gain precious experience that will be with me for the rest of my life.

That would have been an exhausting day I guess? It's not really a safe strategy, it just eats up money and once triggered most people will leave nothing else on their own money dashboards. Should be an expensive lesson you get there but I think it's worth because right now you're more conscious when it comes to gambling.
