Topic: Worst Day of My LIFE - Dice - page 9. (Read 1522 times)

This really is a desperate gambler's move, the urge to gamble is so strong that he cannot resist that he has to borrow money from a friend, if it is his birthday and he wants to have a good time, we can accept this, but to the point of making a loan to gamble, this is a symptom, of gambling addict, you will only loan money when you badly need it, or you have a good project ahead and gambling is not a good project.

This is the reason why I am highly against gambling. No doubt the experience of having some money for free and that too while you are enjoying some game, is sweet and tempting. But there are only few times when a gambler comes across such winnings in his whole life. Loss of money causes depression and desperation. People eventually lose control over themselves. It is best to stay away from gambling.

An any desperate gambler should went though the path which he first loses his own and then someone else's money. Only when with no money and when no one wants to give a new borrow, comes the realization that the wrong way of earnings has been chosen. This road (good gambler) for those who are lucky. You just have to learn a lesson and tell to your friend how it is.

I think it is even better to steal that is for those who have the ability to steal than to borrow because stolen money might come like a free money but the thief would be prepared to face the consequences when caught lol.

I am surprised that people still borrow money to gamble considering all the stories we have read on this great forum and all the lessons we have learnt so far, I am indeed shocked to my bones. I feel very sympathetic for the OP but at the same time, I know he is responsible because he is probably too greedy or too confident in his ability forgetting the meaning of gambling. The pain would pass away and the loss would be restored but I hope he learnt his lessons and I hope a lot of people would also learn from his story. Never borrow to gamble is one thing we would always say and will continue to say here.

Good luck gambling with borrowed money, you proved that you cannot be trusted with money as you consider gambling as a way to increase your holding which is the most stupid thing in the world  . Just go out and do a job to earn money and with gambling you will not go anywhere in life, you can gamble for fun and not to make money, if you are lucky you might win some money .

Being out of control is the reason why most gamblers end up broke. We should discipline ourselves to skip or pause for a while if we feel like lossing for a period of time.

Honestly I am sorry if I sound rude, the OP's question sounds very dumb. Gambling for money is one very wrong thing we all do. Alot of us are aware that gambling is only meant for pleasure and not a way to make money but because we are broke and need means to generate money, we could decide to take the risk and we try as much as we can to be extremely careful.

Going as far as borrowing is the biggest mistake of all time, as though that wasn’t enough, he still went as far he can’t drop gold as collateral, what gave him that confidence in the first place? Well, sorry for the loss is all we can say, but I believe you have learnt in the hard way and I am sure such mistake would never repeat itself again.

I will always suggest that gambling with borrowed money is something very bad, if a person do not have money for gambling and after that he borrow money and lost it in gambling then just think what will he return to the owner of the money, means that he will be in complete trouble and after that nobody will lend money to him just because nobody will trust him after that.

I also experience it with dice as well but not with a borrowed money, I just use my money and spend it to play, just like you, at first it was good then afterwards I didn't think and concentrate to win but just to return my lose. Then suddenly I just lost everything because I am eager to get back what I lose so I bet all that I have and thinking to make it double but I was wrong.

Many stories like this before and maybe you miss those stories which lead you to greediness. We can't play the money that we don't have, in short its better to play small which you can afford to lose than to borrow money and expect that you can win easily. Now you have to work harder and pay your debts, I hope that you learned a lot from that experience and don't worry, you can earn more money if you start correcting yourself.

I don't know if you are rich to loan such a huge amount but if you can repay that amount in a time frame you both agreed or much earlier, that will be ok but nobody will advise that you take a loan to pay, you should only gamble on your spare money, if you are not that really good in winning gambling don't pour too much on it if I'm your friend I will never give you loan to gamble.

$100 is big money for some people, and if they use that money to play gambling and lose the money, I don't think that they can repay the money. But that will not happen with you because I see that you can repay the money. I think other people don't have to borrow money from other people as we don't know how we can repay it. But even though you can repay the money, it still not recommend using that way because we never know the future. I agree that in gambling, we should play with the money we can lose because we don't have a big chance to win the game in gambling.

He is not new in gambling. He alraedy joined on windice campaign since long time and he should already knew about the risk to gamble his borrowed money. I don't think we can even smiling with his situation, where he needs to repay his friends money and also $250.

Gambling with borrowed money, worst thing you can do. You are playing with scared money and start chasing a small loss with high risk.

I did that also a few years ago, gladly with just $100 so losing that wasn't that hard to repay but I discover you play completely different. Just play with the money you could lose otherwise you will be in trouble.

Not only risky if we use borrowed money but risky everytime lol 😂

I like the point thy if OP risked in Trading maybe he don’t lose that big and the chance of gaining is indeed,but I think he is a typical gambling addict that cannot live a day without playing ,because it’s not normal behavior of a person to borrow money and just spent for gambling

Just wondering, what were you expecting exactly, especially after winning $200 from the start? If I were you, I would stop right away. I mean, it was a big mistake from the very beginning when you decided to borrow money for gambling. But none of us is immune to mistakes,  we are making them constantly, in various fields, and what is more important than trying to not make mistakes is the decisions we make afterwards. What you could do was:

1. Giving your friend the borrowed money and buying out the collateral, losing a bit of money, before starting gambling with it.

2. Withdraw your funds with $200 profit, considering it a big luck, and deciding to never do such risky things again.(It's a little bit harder than the first task, because at that point you probably thought that you know how to win.)

3. Withdraw the remaining $1,000 after losing a big part of your balance. (I know it's extremely hard to do, when you are losing money and losing your control, it's close to impossible.)

As you can see, after a mistake things go from bad to worse, unless you start to correct the mistake you made.

As is evident from your last sentence, you have decided to never borrow money for gambling again. And that's a good start, actually. You are on the right course, and I sincerely wish you good luck in the future.

Indeed, gambling is too risky for us to gamble other's people money. Unlike trading wherein the skill of a broker could be better than a typical normal traders, gambling doesn't give any advantage to anyone. Anyone in gambling has same odds to win and the risk is too high wherein luck dictates who win or lose.

We have all been there at some point,I mean the real gamblers where eyes were closed and the mind was in dark.I remember something similar doubling my sport bets after losing and betting on odds over 3 that lead me to borrow money and lose them too.It was this moment that woke me up and I never gamble with borrowed money anymore.Sometimes these moments are needed to make us think deeper and becoming a better judgment person.

One rule in gambling. Never ever borrow money from your companion just to have some money to gamble.

I hate to say this but what you did is pure stupidity with a bit of greediness. You expect that you will win in dice so you borrowed from your friend? I assume that you are new to gambling so welcome to gambling world where the chances of winning is lower than the chances of losing . Now you dug your own hole and thinking how do you repay the loan but thanks anyway for reminding us. We know already that gambling is a way to lose your money .

I think that OP has failed both main rules:

Rule 1: Don't gamble what you don't afford to lose.
Rule 2: Take gambling as a fun way to spend some time, not as an hypothetical "method to earn money".
