I Have A Slight Problem With Gambling

By nolimitherbo August 09, 2020 7 answers Last updated August 09, 2020

I have been betting on matches and chat-pats in a casino for almost 15 years (with 30-40), but rather rarely. I wrote about a slight problem because I play with small amounts and I have never crossed the line and found myself in a situation of betting / selling things or taking loans. I have played my money several times, but without consequences. I just stayed with 20-30 for a few days until salary. Otherwise, I know a lot of people who play everything, have taken loans from anyone - in short, they ruin their lives. Fortunately, I'm not one of them. I am writing the topic because it still costs me money that can be spent better. For example, for the family, we will soon have our first child. But on the other hand, it is also my hobby. To keep statistics and watch live matches. Actually, when I draw the line, I lose about 200 a month. So far, I've lost money on a car. Of course, I have profits, but I speak in general. I had a case a few years ago when I didn't get 1 goal for a profit over 200,000. But it's on, it didn't happen. Now, while writing, of course, I bet again :). Otherwise, my salary is above average, my wife also works. She doesn't bother me to play.

We go to restaurants, vacations. In general, we do not deprive ourselves of anything. I'm thinking of stopping completely, but as I said, it's also a hobby and I won't feel good if I don't bet at all. And for several months I've been playing only for winnings of over 200,000 (it's like playing the lottery - almost no chance of winning). So I want to ask, if there is someone in such a situation, what is the most reasonable thing to do. my wife also works. She doesn't bother me to play. We go to restaurants, vacations. In general, we do not deprive ourselves of anything. I'm thinking of stopping completely, but as I said, it's also a hobby and I won't feel good if I don't bet at all.

   Why don't you bet 1-2 times a month? Choose an amount and limit yourself within its limits. For example, for the month to spend 50/100 BGN in bets, no more. You have no problem if you are reasonable and adhere to acceptable limits for your pocket. Every month I buy a national lottery ticket on my salary. I have not earned more than BGN 10, but I spend between BGN 24 and 36 per year on tickets, which is not scary. Choose a monthly betting budget and don't exceed it. You can watch matches without betting. You are not such a critical case at all, you have not reached loans and pawnshops, but control yourself firmly.

   After graduating from high school, I worked in a casino with typewriters for about a year. I can tell you that everything is set up there, the machines have program keys with which the boss changed the taking rates. When the clientele dwindled, he let someone win about 2,000. BGN and then to sing the news in order to be filled with people again. There was a boy who played roulette for fun. He came in and brought in BGN 10. and he bet 10 stotinki per turn, sometimes he lost them, sometimes he withdrew BGN 15-20. and left. When he drank coffee and cola or juice, he said that he had enough to go to coffee with those BGN 10. played 1 hour for example. However, you have a desire to win a lot of money, I do not see anything wrong with playing something for a symbolic sum once a week, in the end if you are destined to win and one column of lotto isha once in your life is enough.

   I would not seek help or advice in your situation. I am 29 years old and I have been playing mosquito for 13 years, yes, exactly from my youth, when we played for pennies. In the last 5-6-7 years, I really don't know exactly how many there are, because from the heavy mosquito you lose an idea of ​​everything, most I don't want to share how much money, nerves, friendships went to waste ... At the moment I have no friends, my family thinks most likely that I'm not up for anything, which is said I don't know which train to catch. In my opinion, play, keep statistics, watch your live score and don't care at all, especially since your wife doesn't cause you a problem with that. I can write a hell of a lot about gambling, but it doesn't make sense. I don't think you have a problem with gambling, that's it!

   From the author: To 2: Well, I always played at 25 cents. with 20/40. And in the interest of the truth, in more than half of the cases she gave me at least  100. But I never raised the channel. I like to sit with  20/40 to play for at least an hour. I really hate losing them fast. Sometimes I have drawn 200-300, other times I have lost them, but in general from the casino if I am not on the plus, then at least I am not much on the minus. I have never been greedy, because at 25 cents. I'm having fun. To 3: I understand you and I really know very seriously sunken people. I don't know exactly what kind of mosquito you play, but I hope you get better. I wrote this topic because I'm losing, not much, but I'm still losing. I have lost at least 20-25 thousand in 10-15 years. It's not a whole apartment, but it's a decent car. And soon we will have a child and I think I could have spent them better.

   Once you think you're losing so much, just stop betting. Can't you put in a little self-control so much? You won't abstain if you don't play, will you? If I were your wife, I would give you an ultimatum to give up or divorce. You will become a father and you need to be a little more responsible. Find another, more constructive hobby, best shared with your wife, and stop playing puberty.

   You are so dumb. Don't you know that matches are settled. And you think you're very smart, so you can predict the results. It is similar to electronic typewriters, which count profit-loss and before you press the button they know whether to give you a profit or not. And fools believe how the painted thing "rotates" and how they are / are unlucky. I understand at least playing cards live - there is still a risk of winning and beating you, but at least there are no such elementary throws of money for nothing.

   This is not a problem of yours, the last time I played  1,200 in the casino and now I hang 500 to a friend, I have no problem returning them to him, but the problem is that I am only 19 years old. I have been gambling since I was 14 years old, I still remember how the bookmaker did not allow me to play matches and I was standing in front of the European football and I was just waiting for an acquaintance of course to come of age to play matches for me. Every week I made a bet from 5 to 10  and hit a profit of 100-200  . But I turned 18 and the profits from  100 to  200 no longer satisfied me and I started making big bets on 2 3 matches, I played with  100,500, I won, I lost, but I generally beat more backwards, from there I stopped playing matches at most on a slip. I play 1 match with  50 and constantly play the virtual matches there for 30 minutes or I will lose  100 or I will go out front 400, but whenever I was behind the virtual ones I got angry and went to the casino and it was getting scary there I sat on a typewriter I played 40 burning hot I went in with 500 and played at max bet BGN 8. And I just sit and watch how I lose my money and here is the last time I went home and when I came home we thought how if I had a girlfriend now those 1200  where I played them we could go out somewhere in a restaurant or on vacation and I would not be so angry than now that I lost 1200  in an instant for no more than 5 minutes. So my thought is to stop while you can, because you have a wife and a child, those  100,200 where you play them a month will eventually become much more and once you lose big money you will realize that it just doesn't make sense, even I know it doesn't make sense. done in order to take, not to give of course sometimes and gives,
