Stress forces me to gamble more since gambling can give entertainment and that’s what I need right now.
Fortunately, I’m still doing my budget and plan when it comes to gambling so I won’t become more stress if I lose the money. Many are still relying that much with Bitcoin and many become broke because of gambling, I also have a friend who are on the same situation and right now he’s undergoing a therapy so he can be ok again and quit gambling for good. Gambling can be more hyped if you see a promotions from it, again don’t bite that and just focus on your own strategy to approach in gambling.

I got to a club with some friends and played sport betting in my beginning,I was immediately hooked as I kept watching Livescore which was the most well known website back in the days before smartphones came out.This though was just the beginning,one night in a party with co workers we were holding our new year party in the restaurant of a hotel which also had slot machines in there and it was love at first sight when we got together there to play.It was some game that gave you x500 as a maximum payout during the bonus game some sort of toads and mud thing,don't remember now but since then I kept playing slots forever.

^ It is the same story here and where all my gambling habits started.
Before when I was not involved in gambling, I only watch those sports events, cheering my favorite team while watching but now, I realized that it is good while cheering them you also place bets hoping that you will win and I think that is how I attracted gambling.
But probably in other, when it comes to gambling, people are often attracted by a combination of factors, and experiences can vary greatly between on us. Some may find the thrill of taking risks and the potential for big wins alluring, while most of us may enjoy the social aspect of playing with friends or in a lively casino atmosphere. However, remember that gambling can have both positive and negative outcomes for us.

I was attracted to gambling when a friend of mine who was always known as a risk taker in gambling finally won a huge amount of money the news spread all over the town because no body ever believed that you can be paid such amount in a betting platform even though the news was been advertised all over the place. Long story short my friend started introducing me to some soccer prediction site and as time goes by I was fully committed to gambling and as a lover of football, betting in a football match became one of my hubby. About my good experience as a gambler, I was lucky to win a very big amount in a soccer match but the day I lost all my savings I almost got a heart because the pains refused to go away.

What attracted to me for me to gamble is that you do really be able to make money or win on the most fastest or instant way and at the same time you would really be able to entertain yourself but mostly
you would really be that focusing that much when it comes to making money or having those winning opportunity.We cant really deny that it would really be that so interesting if you do able to make yourself
play while you do have the chance on winning some jackpot or huge win specially on slots gaming which i do have an experience when it comes to playing on real casinos which it
did really spark out my interest more on doing such thing. Of course there are really times or moments on which i do make myself that bit addicted but good thing my awareness and control
tells me that i should really be playing moderately because if you dont then you would surely be get addicted into it which is something that you must avoid.

His very lucky  he still has about 20% in his savings to still star with. I know how situation like this  can demoralized someone especially  if the money lost was expected to be used for something else and ended up been lost in gambling  anders just imagine him.starting afresh again, meh thats awhole lot to make someone give up but brings is worth a life and the fact that you lost is a lesson and we should rather build from those lessons than let them weigh us down.

The major thing that has attracted me most to gambling is the fact that it give me the leisure and pleasure to earn flexibly without having to work from 8am to 5pm regular job.

I think what attracted me most into gambling was the narrative to win big especially when you came across a video or an article concerning a winning game. There has been a lot of things that attracts me most but social media was the main driving force that it gets me into online gambling, I don't really gamble offline but since I almost spend my time online and here in the forum, that's why I feel like this attracted me most even these days.

Like the Jackpot from Roulette. It's very luring that even when you thought of quitting gambling, you always have to look at it again thinking one more time that you may hit the jackpot this time. Next thing you know you already lost another hundred.

Another attraction is that I'm a sports fan and while it's satisfying to see my team win the games, it's more satisfying to also gain financially. I have no sports channel subscription already but because of the bookies, I can watch the live games they offer.

Growing up, my grand father and father frequently visited cockpit arenas in order to compete with their chickens. It even got to a point where my grand father bought a relatively huge lot dedicated for farming and raising cockfighters in order to participate in national and televised fights. My father inherited such addiction and he also delve into such practice where he also brought me and my siblings with him. Due to this experience, this sparked my curiosity until now.

Maybe this experience is what drove me to gamble in the first place. With the influence from my parents, this somehow got me into this kind of activity- though I do only entertain such act with curiosity; nothing more and less.

The idea of making profit was what lured me into gambling. I use to think that it will be easy for me to double my money in gambling and I was deceived with such impression. Unknowingly to me that I can't even win a dime from gambling. In the beginning when I started with little funds,I will win some encouraging amount.

There was a day that I regretted my loss in gamble and after that day, I learnt a hard lesson and faced the consequences of my actions. I went on a break and discipline myself to only gamble once in a while and that should be with money that I can afford to loss. Later on when I saw that I can control myself,I started gambling again.

I don't remember the full details why I started doing gambling and staying for long but I believe that I like watching poker games before and I think my curiousity on staking money on a poker game makes me really do gamble and attracted me to continue doing it. Of course the profit is in my mind at that time, I won't deny it. Doing gambling with poker is a lot different on playing poker without using real money given. Bluffing isn't easy when there's real money. I think the thrill of using money is what makes me attracted to gambling.

After I learned from my pre-work experience that excessive gambling is not good, now I only think of gambling as a coping mechanism to deal with stress during work activities.
and besides that gambling can be a fun activity after five days of work and only play on weekends with a small capital just for fun. And if I win maybe it's my luck, and I like to gamble because it trains my brain function after stress and fatigue after work.

Boredom really. It was in the middle of the lockdown and everything is not available, you can't even go out to spend your money elsewhere even if you wanted to. Then in a second a couple of my friends recommended that we try some online casinos and compare wins which itself will be some form of competition too, with wagers on it of course. So the highest person who gets the most wins in a month or so gets to bag the first place and a cash prize, second gets it, third, and so on. All of a sudden I just found myself gambling a lot which I realize wasn't good. I'm not even gambling for profit, I just gamble cause I wanted to be in on what the squad was doing. That's until I saw a post here made by someone who emphasized the need to control yourself and gamble responsibly. From then on I made it a point to only gamble occasionally and all that stuff.

I'm not surprised about the feeling of that specific friend because everybody in this world who will have the same experience will indeed feel worthless because 80% is already a huge amount but not every gambler has the confidence to do that in one go even if there's a good chance in winning that bet, you see, we tend to feel some doubts even though our chances are strong and that just mean that we know deep in ourselves that it is not that sure as long as the outcome will not say the same bet you're betting to.

in my case it was because I like the top leagues, I'm talking about premier league, la liga, bundesliga, Ligue1, serie A and the Portuguese league. people in my neighborhood already made sports bets and I kept asking myself if I could do well or not, after that here on the forum they started to have more subscription campaigns related to casinos so I decided that I should also make an effort to know more things about gambling and online casinos, it was with that in mind that I started doing sports betting, but after a few days I lost and I was lucky enough to win a lot, so I decided to stop for a while

that's because I couldn't stand the stress every time I lost, after a long time away from gambling I came back because I entered a subscription campaign, and with that I started making sports bets and they no longer cause me stress because I already understood better how to analyze games and how to better manage my bankroll, and I also don't bet constantly to avoid being the top person dependent on gambling, I play when there's a game worth betting on, I know very well the danger of gambling , that's how I got into gambling

No one can guarantee a 100% success rate in gambling, wins and losses are only between black and white eyes, when you are lucky you might win, but when you are unlucky all the money you bring to the casino will immediately change hands. Even though winning and losing are only limited to luck and failure, gambling activities are growing rapidly as technology develops. Now you don't need to visit a casino to gamble, technological developments have made it easier for gamblers to carry out gambling activities online.

Some people might think gambling is an instant way to get rich. Gambling is considered to be able to make money quickly and easily without having to work hard to get it. They will continue to gamble even though they often lose, this condition is caused because the brain has a unique system, namely the 'curious' system. This system is connected to various areas of the brain, especially the pleasure center of the brain.

Whatever activity you think can give pleasure will be stored in the brain, then it will encourage you to release dopamine to do the same activity again. Likewise when you are gambling, dopamine will be released because there is unlimited excitement and fun, especially when you are winning. A person's experience in gambling varies greatly, some often win and some often lose. Even though they often lose, they will continue to play because there is motivation to win and it is considered fun.

Most people started gambling because they want to double their money, nothing else.
Winning experiences from others is just an additional "motivation" for people to start gambling.
Myself started gambling because of the evironment around me where gambling is like a tradition by the community.
Because of it, I used to watch it since I was young and I started to learn it when I was in high school.

Money of course, nothing else. There's no other reason why I am attracted to gambling maybe because my friends said they are earning something in gambling that's why they invited me to gamble as well because they want me to play as well and to lose some money as well, it is kinda funny but that is the reason why I started to gamble until now , they are still gambling as well.

I think everyone will agree here that most of us is attracted on gambling due to the possibility to have profit quickly. I’m initially just a crypto trading that attracted to gambling after the market becomes side ways for a long time and continuos dip. I lose huge amount of money on trading while I saw some post about gambling that users winning huge amount of money by playing slots.

I start playing slot and try my luck but luck didn’t come to me on slot that makes me discover other form of gambling like bacarrat and roulette that offers quick game result for a faster recovery. After playing gambling for a year after discovering it, I lose more money than to recover my losses for trading. I’m now gambling just for the sake of bonuses and not for chasing profit.
