There really is something to no-limit currency.  You can do anything with it instantly.

Gambling is a human behavior dating back 1000's years. Much like drinking alcohol, many humans enjoy doing so, but some do so to excess. This doesn't mean we shouldn't make beer.

Hi,

I have lost over 300BTC through theft and one 20 minute self destructive gambling spree in the last year or so.

If you have a moment to read my account here, I hope to prevent others making the same mistakes as me.

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/a-warning-to-you-all.4373/

All the best,

Dan

loss 300 btc on directdice?
i've same loss as you last time, i lost 0.1 btc .

"make a big loss and then lose track desperately trying to win it back"

its what happened to me too, i lost big money and try to bet bigger and then burned down.

im so sorry with your loss, but i think they are provably fair, just dont be greedy when you face gambling.

I get a little annoyed (well, only for a minute  Tongue) at myself when I lose $50 during my gambling endeavours, so I can only imagine the pain you're going through right now.

@OP: Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about this situation? I know you're probably feeling really shitty & really bad about everything right now, but I'd like to get inside the big stakes gambling mind for just a second...

What portion of your bankroll was your final bet & what exactly did you bet on?
How much had you won before you went on your losing streak?

And finally, the main question... you were playing DirectBet, right? Why on your final bet did you go for the dice? Why didn't you make a sports pick, something that is 100% truly, undoubtedly by any stretch of the imagination, fair?

(I know DB is provably fair, but there is the tiny chance that we've all been lied to about what "provably fair" in general actually is)

That's what I always tell people. Pick an amount of money you can lose, part with it before you start to gamble and whether you win or lose walk away with no regrets.
Worst thing you can do is enter a casino with expectations, plans how to spend the money you want to win.
At least it didn't break you, OP and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

well, youre not alone, i also have lost between 300-400 btc, and currently own 0.1...
I suppose I would be happy if bitcoin were to crash to $1.. However, I still consider buying at this level.. What puts me off somewhat is the knowlege that, having coins again I may just end up gambling it all away again.

I think a wallet app that can limit the payments sent for a time period would help some people perhaps.

The main reason why people lose in gambling is because they take small winners and huge losses. Its human emotional and greed that causes this.

Every losing gambler will tell you that.

I am sorry for your loss, I had the same situation, I lost 60 BTC on altcoin trading, now I don't touch them. It's dangerous, most of them are scams.

Generally, trading is also gambling to me, even has higher risk than gambling.  Angry

The thing that I find really scary is that I had no previous track record of gambling until very recently.

At a guess, half a dozen fairly successful sessions and then one morning, in twenty minutes, its gone!

I never craved gambling..I found it fun.  Until I got involved in crypto, I had barely placed a bet in my life.  Crypto makes it very easy to lose your money gambling.

The Darkcoin community have been really supportive.  I'm also lucky to have good friends and an amazing wife.

Thats because of the dopeamine and adrenaline your body releases. Its own way of making you "High" Since your involved in crypto, and I'm assuming that you love crypto, this is where you got addicted. Your love for something made it so wonderful that you lost alot, because of your cryptorush. You could play with cash at a casino and never get the rush you was looking for like when you played with cryptocurrencies.


Also, I highly suggest anybody gambling should do this. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0;topicseen

That is a thread to post your address incase your bct account is stolen. Most stolen accounts I can see come from gamblers. Just a way to make sure you are who you say you are Smiley Hope it helps someone.
