    Impressive to even have 40k to lose at 22. I probably didn't even have $400

      yeah thats always my reaction to these kind of videos, guys losing massive amounts and a few days/Weeks later they do it again, as if money just comes falling out of the sky, or talking about it like "oh well, thats all part of the game", as if it s normal to have even more than a few $1000 at a young adult age

    Ive lost 20k in gambling. I put my foot down and faced financial consequences that became an eye opener for me. Now I budget and dont gamble anymore. What doesnt help is social media. People making videos of constantly winning at casinos or winning big on scratch off tickets, so it makes you think hey if i spend this amount of money im entitled to win big or get the same amount of money that said person won as well. Nope doesnt work like that. Casinos and the lottery is designed to scam people. I realised all that money spent i could have saved and had that chunk of money in my pocket. Will no longer give my money to the scammers. One way to stop the gambling addiction is to see it as nothing but a scam. Before you spend a dollar for that lottery ticket or at the casino just imagine two wealthy people standing there holding their hands out waiting for you to give them your money. Dont give those two scammers your money. Put it back in your pocket keep it. Doing that will help you quit like I did.

    The bookies let you win in the beginning of your gambling addiction journey so that you can get hooked. The best is to buy a new car and drive by casinos and stores that sell gambling 🎰 games.

    New subscriber here! Watching because for all that I do NOT have a gambling addiction I started seeing a man that actually just seemed like my soul mate. His ex-girlfriend does HAVE a gambling addiction and in order to convince him to stop seeing me she convinced him to go to a gambler’s anonymous meeting with him a little over a week ago. I told him in no uncertain terms I will not see him if he is thinking she can and will quit gambling therefore seeing her. My heart is hurting but I will not see a man who is also seeing another woman and he understands and respects that. I know I have always said once a cheater, always a cheater and I honestly feel the same about drug addicts and gambling addicts. I do realize a small percentage change but I have to somehow figure out how to get him out of my head especially since he has clearly told me he is afraid he might be making a huge mistake.

      Stay away from them.. misery loves company is so true! It’s always easier for them to deal with their losses when they have someone who’s going through the same things. When you don’t gamble they get mad because it’s so hard for them not to gamble so they don’t understand it.

    I agree with him 100% on winning money. There are plenty of games baccarat, roulette, blackjack, holdem, etc etc where you're almost a coin flip. Side bets will kill you but the straight up bets are almost a coin flip
    I am up at some point (just ballparking) like 80% of the time I gamble. It might only be 50 bucks, though. The hard part is keeping it, because it never feels like enough to leave on

      There should be an universal global system of full gambling self-exclusion. (From all online and physical casinos- those which don't comply will be shut down) That's only solution for problem gamblers. You should have liberty to gamble, but also a right not to.

      Counting cards is real tricky.. the people who can do it won’t go around bragging. They’ll do it until the casino catches on and kicks them out. I’m from Boston and we had these MIT students who went around the US counting cards and cleaning casinos out. Not really but they won millions and got banned from all the casinos. They made a movie about it. You have to be a borderline genius in math to do it right! They used to train for hours a day before they went to a casino.

      @@cvgodd1432 I'm in the genius category and can tell when slot machines will hit very soon or not hit for a long, long period of time just by memorizing all the random spins on all the various slot machines. All the patterns repeat on each slot machine. The average person can't discern these patterns or remember each spin. I was born with a photographic memory.

    Advice: if you don’t know what some thing is, you can pause the recording look it up and then join back in and explain it to others. It’s bad form to leave things up in the air like that. Especially when the answer is so easily attainable.

    @DarekBearzi not sure if you just have a hold ‘em background but if you play other games such as as blackjack, baccarat, ultimate hold em, and you know how to wager, 9 out of 10 times you will always be net gain positive. That’s what he means by making a profit is easy and hardest part is getting up. Only problem is your net gain (if your a low stakes gambler) is about $20 - $120 on average before things can start going negative or maybe you’re lucky and things get a little better.
