Ever since my first win in a bet, I have been finding it hard to win again. It's very pathetic hoping and believing that am going to win again. It saddens my heart that I have spent much more money than what I have collected from my first win of bet.
How I wish I could let go of this stupid addiction to gambling. Am been bankrupt because of it (gambling)

I'm very sorry for you. Maybe it is a solution to go to some special group where gamblers come together helping each other? Maybee the first step to go there will be hard, but I think it will be +EV in the long run. Stay clean!

But with unlimited bankroll we can actually win if we follow a martingale strategy. I agree that there is a lot of luck involved in gambling, but also skill. The more experienced we are the better we adapt to our gambling outcomes. Managing emotions is key for success, which usually comes easier to us the longer we gamble. I still remember how devastated I felt during my first big blow ups. However now I know that the money can always be won again, its best to remain calm. As long as we don't lose borrowed money we will be fine.

~~A week late but oh well~~ There's no skill involved in gambling. It's all about luck. Managing our emotions? Martingale strategies? Those are about handling your bankroll, your money, not about gambling. Gambling would always follow that 50/50 chance, no matter what. Odds may skew to lower your chances of winning (increased odds) but it would never increase your chances of winning.

Stop playing with odds stacked against you. Stop going for the big wins, but accumulate small ones. No one wins in a game that has the odds stacked against you, it's a minuscule chance and it probably wouldn't even be worth it risking the money you have. But hey, if you're in it to enjoy it's a whatever for me, but if you have that mentality that your saddened and depressed cause of the money you spent, stop betting big with high odds, and start betting slowly instead.

Back then, i was a fulltime gambler. Win some and lose some, there were even when i won a bit money, but in the end i've lost it all after 1 week later and it wiped out all of my winnings before include my bankroll. Then i realized i can't always like this, then decided to gamble what i can afford to lose without chasing my loss before (although many times i still wanna chasing that).

You could've quit but I understand that quitting on something is going to be a difficult one because habits die hard. I don't like the idea that you are still gambling altogether but hey at the least you are keeping your addiction from becoming destructive at bay but this is not a sustainable long-term especially if you plan to have a family.

You've been bankcrupt so you have to learn from that experience, it's you who are in control of yourself, so be smart and be matured in facing your problem. It's alright to gamble as long as you are discipline and in control, but if not, that would ruin your life.

Winning is not hard, but we have to realize that in the long run we will still lose, so don't be greedy, enjoy the moment, don't count your loses a lot as it would not affect you if you are just gambling what you can afford to lose, a win today has to be enjoyed as tomorrow is another day, if you lose next time, stop and gamble again tommorrow, in short never chase your loses.

For me I can't bet what I can't afford to loose. What is gambling if I can't boast of a common win or make constant loose.

True.
You shouldn't bet if you don't have the money that you're very fine to lose. That should be remembered by everyone that if you don't have money, just don't gamble.
It won't lessen yourself being a person, you just have to let go and lower your pride.

We arent talking about pride but rather those intents that you do have in mind on becoming rich via gambling and this is the most common thing that we can see on everyone who do gamble.
Some might really be just playing for fun but majority are on the opposite side.Dont make yourself greedy and dont chase up losses because these are the most common mistake
on where people do able to commit.Its not good for long term and if you do won amounts then think off that these are just bonuses out of those leisure that you had get.
Dont make it as a main source of income and stick on whats the real purpose of gambling in the first place.

To me, that's still sort of pride if you have a thinking like that. Majority of us can't really make it as the main source of our income because we just can't and we know how risky to rely on it.
Gamble sometimes and be sure to it that if you've won, you'll enjoy your profits before it's taken back again by the casino.

from your story, actually the one who is wrong is yourself. You tell us that you are out of control! so your weakness is in "self-control". gambling is designed to make you addicted and curious ^{(no debate)} but if you can manage your emotions and yourself greed then you will definitely not loss.

winning once but losing many times is a sad thing.

How to get rid of gambling addiction?

Limit yourself to a certain amount of funds for gambling, and even go as far as closing any easy access to your funds that you're not planning to gamble on, so for instance if you lost $1k in a day/week you stop and wait for another day or week, this could help you to minimize gambling as a revenge to get your lost money back which usually gets gamblers trapped in a very long gambling sessions which will eventually make you addicted.

Generally if you gamble for more than 1-2 hours a day you should be really careful about your gambling habits as it starts from 2-3 hours a day and could increase to 5 or more hours a day if you got that much enough time to kill.

I do gamble but very rare nowadays since I already tired of the win & lose cycle. At the end of the day, I'm only get tired and stress whenever I lose even though I'm only risking small amount of money.

Well you are not addicted to gambling you can stop whenever you want to, something other gamblers are finding it hard to do, gambling is something that should not depress you it should be fun and exciting, small or big amount it should be something that will relax us, if it's not then it's time to stop or only do this if you want to.

Yes, it is. When he is addicted to gambling, that will be hard to stop anytime.
Besides that, he will only think to play gambling and use more money.
Before you are late to realize, you need to take a break when you feel tired and do not stress with your loss because playing gambling will only give you result, win or lose.
So it is better to enjoy the games and do not chase for the winning because that will be too hard.

Is there any difference in terms of profitability? You are still gambling according to your statement, the only difference was the money you are risking is not that pretty much significant. I do gamble but very rare nowadays since I already tired of the win & lose cycle. At the end of the day, I'm only get tired and stress whenever I lose even though I'm only risking small amount of money.

Greed is really hard to overcome especially when you are already addicted to gambling. You can't forget that time you've won so you can't stop thinking about doing it again and your inner self tells you to deposit more to have bigger profits. The risk of losing does not come to your mind, you will just chase your losses thinking that it is easy to recover if you will win.

Self-discipline is a big factor to get rid of someone's gambling addiction. Even if there are already people ready to help him stay away from it, but the gambler himself is not determined to quit gambling and still think of it often then he will still go back to that habit.

I can learn from your experience that gambling cannot be a source of income, because as you experience in the end the victory you get can be lost
if you play gambling in the long run. And there is no point in catching up with the losses we experience when playing gambling. Because it only causes
even greater losses. I agree it is better to gamble what we can afford to lose is so much better.

Cryptocurrency is power

Gambling starts as a fun game with risk managers and gradually grows into been a addict for those who goes deeper into it. What a scheme. For me I can't bet what I can't afford to loose. What is gambling if I can't boast of a common win or make constant loose.

I have been tempted on several counts to bet beyond what I can risk out. But on a long run I tried applying risk management to ensure I don't loose all my fortune to gambling

Quote from: hahay on April 16, 2021, 02:45:17 PM

When someone wins there are only two choices to stop or continue betting, but what is worrying is that there is no control. That should be aware of, but if you are aware of it and can control yourself then today's win then choose to continue betting I think it will be fine, without having to stop to take a vacation or something. These kinds of things will usually be easy for experienced gamblers to notice, but those who are still not that easy to realize then obviously, they need someone close by so that the wins don't lead to losing streaks.

Winning once is like you are testing the engine of a car, accelerating but not yet running. What I am trying to say was winning once is the accelerating process of a person who are gambling, it is the first step that lead him to take another game again knowing and believing that he will going to win again. Actually, winning once give an enjoyment and comfortability to a gambling to continue playing, but the sense of gambling was it wasn't always the winning but more often happening was losing.

Make sense, the example was true. Same with your mentality that after you win you think that you can repeat it again and again.

Some actually win not once but possible more but in the end they also lose everything, bringing them to play more and chase every amount that
they've loss along the way, sad true that instead of learning more gamblers continue up to losing everything that they've got.

Gambling site owners continue to win, first taste of winning allure those gamblers to keep coming back!

Being addicted in a gambling is normal, but if you really exceeding the limit and you're spending to much money in it, like there's no tomorrow for you to gamble.. well that's not normal anymore .. And you should adjust as soon as possible.. because you're the one who responsible no matter what happen . And for sure time will come that it will lead you into some serious problem in the future.. better to fix what is necessary things to do while its not late.. And friendly reminder that gambling isn't a business like you can earn constantly from it, because it's a game luck.. Just gamble what amount you can afford to lose..

I hope that getting addicted to gambling isn't the future for us all. There must be a future where we can use gambling responsibly and not lose it all. I agree that it is up to us to change our behaviour when we notice we gamble to much. Everybody can check for himself if he can manage a week without gambling and if he is just going to miss it or if it is getting hard to control ourself. I enjoyed gambling for many years now and believe that I could be without it. But since I am not losing large amounts there is no need to take a break.

Gambling responsibly it is easier to do than what many people think, you need to take a certain number of steps to make sure that you would never get addicted to gambling, one of the easiest steps that you can take is to separate the money that you're going to use to gamble from the rest of your money that way in the case you happen to lose all the money that you have deposited in the casino you do not touch the rest of your money, if you can control yourself and avoid to deposit. The more money into the casino after you have decided how much money you wanted to gamble during that week then that is a clear sign that you are never going to get addicted to gambling.

Greed to get more is one of the reasons why you are not able to get out of gambling. The first deposit earned you 3x profit and after that, you wanted to make more is nothing but greed. Addiction follows greed and gambling is considered one of the worst kinds of addiction. What you can do is to take some professional help if you are really interested in coping up with this kind of addiction.

I know you do not because of the negative trust you have received from @acroman08.
