I've been gambling for 3 years now.First time i went with friends at 18 and wasn't interested actually, but we kept going and after my first big (100euro) i became kind of addicted.Countless of nights at the casino.Looks like i have an addictive personality cause i can't stop doing it.I'm not sure if i want to.I've had difficult situations where i borrowed money from friends or even 1 time from the bank.I don't even get excited it's like a routine for me at this point.Anyone dealt with gambling addiction?How did you manage to overcome it, what was you lowest point etc.Share some personal experiences.

Used to be pretty addicted to satoshi mines back in the day just throwing 500 dollars a go and hitting mines all day. Eventually I got tired of going to bed annoyed and just hearing the sounds of a mine going off in my mind. That was enough to stop me tbh. I still gamble here and there but smaller amounts and mostly just for fun.

The best way to get out of it is to force yourself into a new hobby. Just find something to keep your mind busy. I used to go on long runs at night to clear my mind.

Depending on where you live, there might be professionals that are willing to help you for free. In Denmark all casinos pay a fee towards these support organizations to ensure everyone can get help stop gambling.

As Zexo said, find a new hobby.

Best of luck buddy..

You have to rewire the reward system in your brain. That helped me a lot with a two week gambling binge.. but also I have addictive personality traits

^ Yeah. It's true. This is how I quit smoking.

OP Read about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Ya'know, a good way to stop an addiction is to replace that action with something else, like a new hobby.

Sports betting should be fine , dnt play too much into casinos. I mean the house always wins right for casinos.
However for sports betting especially MMA betting , I am sure you can make a lot of money out of it.

However still its gambling , you can lose. But most of the time say you got 4 events per month , you either win all 4 or lose 1 of them or the worst case lose 2 events. In the end of the day you are still profiting.

Yes sports betting is completely different i don't get any rush there.I bet only safely and for small wins.I've never tried MMA why do you think it is the best?Only because it can't be draw?Asking out of curiosity cuz i've never tried it.Esports is my thing.

I mean ya you can just be active here and earn bytes to gamble. Just don’t start buying bytes to gamble.

For me I spent my entire life saying gambling is a mugs game and people who do it are dumb. But hey, one day I did cocaine and tried it for no reason whatsoever and guess what, I won. It has been downhill ever since. I'm literally playing now in hope I will win back what I lost.

I'm actually severely depressed knowing how much I have lost throughout the last few years. Considering my age I have nothing but deep regret.

Wow.You wrote that good.Gambling is one hell of a drug.Some people try it and don't care about it but some just get addiscted hard.How old are you btw?

[shmatka]

Nearly 30.

You are still young it sucks knowing you lost a lot but you can't just chase the losses.

[shmatka]

I know man. It's easier said than done.

Check out this streamer and his past broadcasts - https://www.twitch.tv/trainwreckstv
Watching this is the main reason I haven't pushed myself over the edge as of yet. He is very fortunate enough to have the funds to play as a hobby but fuck me, he does max bet spins and he loses so much. Then again he wins a lot too. He is one of the very few gambling streamers who don't play with fake funds nor is sponsored by some petty gambling site, he uses raw balance.

I know the guy.Haven't watched him only on some highlights or something.I don't believe hes not sponsored tbh.

[shmatka]

I mean there's no way to know for sure but if you watched him regularly you can see he isn't. It's hard to explain, there are a lot of streamers who gamble on stake it's so sketchy. They get max wins every other day but this guy doesn't. I've seen him lose millions in a single day.

I don't trust a guy thats like the most famous streamer to do those irrational things.Even if he loses millions its probably nothing for him then lol.

[shmatka]

As I said you need to watch him. He started his channel as a gaming entertainer who unfortunately started this awful addiction.

I'll check him out maybe.

Ya train does get loads of play money also from stake. Like millions to just blow on the site. It’s part of the pay he gets technically.
