♠️Why I Stopped Gambling♣️

in #life7 years ago

This is the story of why I stopped gambling. I started all the bets and gambling stuff when I was 15. It all started with sports bettings. I really enjoyed it because when I won it was the best feeling ever and driven me to gamble even more on sports games. But the problem was that eventually, I started losing...

One day I made a 400$ bet on a single game. I was so sure I was going to win that I didn't even think about that the other day. On the next day, I was told that I lost. I didn't know what to do but I kept gambling and kept losing. I kept gamble for another year until I was able to recover all my losses.

But the point of the story isn't only the money.

I loved sports ever since I can remember myself (mostly basketball, soccer and tennis). But ever since I started gambling for and against teams not only that it made me angry unjustly on teams, but it also took out my joy of watching games. When I realized the latter consequence, I decided to stop sports gambling forever, which leads me to another story.

Ever since I started traveling abroad I always went to the local casinos to play the machines and mostly the roulette. One day when I was on a trip to Berlin with my friends we went to the casino and each one of us earned some money that day, except for me. I lost 100 euros that day which took out the joy of the trip (the same with the sports gambles). The next day I went to try my luck at the same casino again. Luckily, I was able to recover 80 euros, but that day I swore to never gamble again.

Thanks for reading!

Gambling probability is very less to win, but investing has wide scope with time. Always think long, short term view is gambling. Like in Crypto currency every investor earns a lot. Keep it up.

Thankyou very much!

אני אספר לך למה אני בכלל לא התחלתי להמר.. אז ככה
שיחקתי במשחק 8 פול בול, זה של הביליארד אם אתה מכיר
אותי תמיד הזהירו מהימורים
הרווחתי שם מליארדים של מטבעות , אבל בסופו של דבר הפסדתי אותם
בקיצור מפה לשם הבנתי שטבע האדם הוא לקחת את הסיכונים לקצה
הבנתי שאני לעולם לא יעשה את זה עם כסף אמיתי, כי גם אם אתה מרוויח אתה באיזה שהוא מקום תרצה לקחת סיכון גדול יותר ובסוף תפסיד הכל
אחלה פוסט! resteem!

קודם כל תודה רבה.
לגבי הנושא אני הייתי בדיוק באותו מצב שלך, התחלתי להרוויח קצת סכומים מהווינר וחשבתי שאני אתעשר מזה אבל הבנתי שזה פשוט לא שווה את זה.

I've had a similar case to yours,
I also bet on many things, including poker, and a lot. At the beginning of my career, I saw that I was earning and earning, but at the end of one day. I call it a black day, I lost more than I earned.

It took me a while to stop but I stopped at the end.

Special Post! keep doing what you are doing ! @bitton

wow. it's reminds me my story,
last year i was gamble all of my money (around 300$) on cs:go gambling sites. this is 100% shit, never gamble again.

In gambling I think losing is not worse than winning. In both cases you lose your time and mind

Exactly!

I hate gambling

Awesome post anybody reads should also stop gambling

Thank you so much

I read loads of books on gambling. The best was “Against the Gods” It deals withe history of gambling, games of chance and skill, as well as statistics. It convinced me that you can’t win.
