Most of my winnings are small as I rarely bet big or bet on long odds. So when I do win, at most is to buy some food, drinks and desserts. That's it really.

I have bought many things with the money of the bets I have been making bets for years

Can you give an example on what are things you had bought from your winnings? And for sure you are able to save also from that, myself did saved enough money with the money I won and I was able to buy some new things that I need such as my new personal computer. This is just some of the things that I mentioned.

I recently won a respectable amount of money from gambling. I intend to save it in my blockchain account and wait for bitcoin to keep growing to make a profit even if it is a small one. It's defenetly better than loosing it in gambling.

i am not usually a gambler, but i won 10k$ a few months ago, so i bought 8 1080ti's at 1000$CDN a piece (750USD$), the cash went fast buying cards, but now even tho the money is gone, i have now gotten most if not all of it back from the Ti's in last few months, the winning keeps on giving!
I would suggest others do the same, buy ASICs or some GPUs with your winnings Cheesy
Congratulations on your win 10k is a lot of money and it is a good thing that you did not blow it in the first thing that you saw but that you instead made an investment that is paying good dividends to you, it seems that you are one of those people that are going to become millionaires in the next 10 years.

Haven't won any thing big in gambling yet so i tend to spent my winnings coming back for more! In the end i end up losing all my winnings. Not a best practice but you just can't help it.
I think it is important that you quit gambling as soon as possible, the fact that you cannot just help yourself should be a red flag, you need to be the one in control of your gambling if you are not then no one is, and gambling could consume all your wealth, look for professional help and get support from your family.
This is the problem when you gamble the losing the game always. Yes that's right end up losing all your winning this means you have to decide to stop playing the game.  Because addiction is hard to control and just  focus on other things that makes you busy.
Yes, gambling is not for you and quitting this game before ending up losing all your wealth is beneficial, not after losing all of your winnings. You see, gambling revolves around luck and if you face defeat very often, then it is best to stop trying your luck again and again. It should be you who controls emotions, not emotions who control you. Quit now before situations get even worse.
I wouldn't mind spending my winnings on leisure since i probably didn't work for it. Though i agree with what you said, in order for me to do this, i have to win which most of the time isn't happening. It put things under a different perspective. Winning after several losing woes would pretty much puts importance on the price like you've worked hard for it.

There will probably be many people who keep it to go back to gamble.
Because a gambler will not give up with victory today,
It will continue in the next day.
Gamblers will only see money as a toy in gambling
The mere fact that we are losing most of the time then that would only mean for gamblers that we should come back again.
However, coming back for a revenge is a wrong action, we should let go our loses and enjoy the current situation, it's good to be back because we are looking for the fun rather than taking revenge which most likely we will only fail.

Logically, this should be the mindset, however, for those who are really addicted to gambler, they will take it personally and will desperately "try" to recoup the losses they made. However, we all know for a fact, that it seldom happened for us to recover what we have lose, but instead we lose more. Then vicious cycle begins, you win some, you lose more.
I am damn sure if gambling was done by trash rather than money, things would have been better. Most of the time, it is the greed and false hope of recovering from the damage that keep on pushing gamblers to try again and again. But the sad fact is it rarely happens. With the passage of time, it becomes difficult to shake off this bad flu.
Gambling with trash! Never heard of it! You have a good sense of humor my friend! Other than greed, gamblers get addiction and that is a bad news. They also have zero control over their desperation. Losses ignite their grief even further. I do not know whether they recover or not but in the process, they destroy their health.

Hi guys!
It's often discussed here that you can't make any money from gambling, but in general it's just not true. House edge is usually quite low so the most of the money go back to players. Of course some one wins more than he bet, some one wins less and loses in the end. It's all about luck. I am sure that the most of you was lucky at least once and made some nice money. So my question goes here: How did you spend this money? Did you buy some presents for your close ones? Did you buy something for you? Did you invested it, saved it or even put back into gambling (and then made even more or lost it?)?

The first thing that I bought when I won was bags and some shoes and it was one of the best and coolest thing that happened as it was the first time that I bought something and it made me realize that this could turn into something profittable as long as I use it right.
Unless you are talking about poker or other games like that then you just got lucky it is impossible to make a living of games where only luck counts since the house has given itself an edge that is impossible to overcome, it is better to dedicate your efforts and time to something else.

I do win one time in a gambling site but it is not that big, as you've said I've won less than my bet. I did nothing about it really, I just saved those coins in the site's wallet for awhile and made my withdraw after a month. Luckily that's where the tension of the hardfork is happening so I didn't use that coins at all.
If ever I won in gambling I would buy something that depends on the winnings I got. If I win big,I will buy a house and lot but if it's not I will just put up a small business. A business that has small capital but has a big profit. I wish it would happen so soon.

Not really that much to buy i just saved it and invest on another alt coins while still earning. Playing gamble for me is just for fun and i don't really spend too much of money on it, i just spend what i can afford to lose just to get entertained. I am more focused on investing my money for the future because bitcoin price now is unbelievably high compared before when it was just starting as a satoshi.

   I bought phone once, couple other gadgets, t-shirts and snickers once. I bought many things from my winnings on sports betting, I always
invest the same and from my money one I take little part and bet again, and with rest I buy things for my self, or spent it on bear and snacks
with my friends. I also bought a lot of little things to my girlfriend, like earing`s, bracelets and some clothes also, nothing high fashion, I
did not win that much. That is why I like sports betting, sometimes I get some profit and with that money I can relax and spent it, fast come
fast go. I always have money for life, sports betting is my hobby and all money won there will go on fun and I always buy something when I win something more.

I think i will buy some altcoin with the money i won through gambling because it is another type of gambling where we can make money when the price of coin increases. It is not a wise decission to keep all the earning again back to the gambling because it has higher risk when compared to other investment.

I think that is a smart move investing some money won on gambling into Altcoins. This is what I have been doing for a long time now and it has helped me build a nice Altcoin portfolio which has since risen in value over the past 6 to 12 months since I started doing this. Yes it is another type of gambling but the rewards can be huge! and if people invest in the top 10 Altcoins then I think they should do well over the long term.

Well I actually convert my Altcoins into bitcoins so I might not have your kind of experience but it sounds pleasing maybe next time I will try to splash my earnings on some slots as well to see how it goes.

Exactly what I'm doing! It's nice to see people that have the same strategy with me about the proper use of gambling winnings. I tend to withdraw my winnings and start again with my start up capital then try to win again. The won amount will be deposited to cryptopia or ccex to add to my favorite altcoins.

Well, I could say that is the most wisest decision that anyone could make in gambling, because if someone is going to be greedy when he is winning, then I could assure his lost against the house, we could never beat the house, so withdrawing your profits could benefits you in the long run, this is the only strategy that could be profitable for us if we want to make gambling profitable in a way.

Precisely, one of the causes of the defeat of someone get is when they can't realize that the House has a very high level of difficulty, so it needs to be a lot of resistance in order to earn a profit. Self control and also a good analysis actually mandatory to have, but right now it's just the professionals are doing it. So that the users of the gambling who just joined or was half a game of gambling in the wrong way. Shape your self to be able to control yourself well, tighten up your analysis, and after that for sure you will get a very good strategy to get gains

When I win I like to go out restaurants with friends to eat and socialize and enjoy life. It's nice to know you spending money you won.
I also sometimes take my family out too. I don't gamble that much though because I'm afraid I will get addicted so I keep it to a minimum and have separate bitcoins aside for gambling. I think this is the best idea. I also sometimes buy video games online with my winnings. I have not done so for some time.
