I won $3,500 off of $10. I thought I was in heaven. I kept gambling and kept losing. I probably lost about $6000 since then. It's a trap. You start doing these psychological picks in your mind thinking this is the winning bet right here. You place big bets because in your mind that's the winner( you really dont know). I tried betting small but it takes too long. Tried betting big but you just lose it all again. I could've bought 2 cars with the money i lost. The best way to win in gambling is to dont start. Save your money and spend it on something useful. Thanks for the video
It’s happening to me right now. I won 3,00 and lost 2,800 back. I just got home from the casino. I lost the last 500 bucks of those 2,800 today. I feel like shit. I need to quit ASAP. I have a lot on the line if I continue gambling
Bro i am right there with you £10 - £750 lost it £19 - £1100 lost it £56 - £7000 roughly lost it £155 - £9800 all gone after 20 mins YOU KNOW WHEN TO CASH OUT JUST DO IT!
True I made 400 dollars out of 20 dollars but I didn't stop and tried to get it back than after a week I lost a grand... So I stopped gambling waste of money...
I've lost around 200k in past 3 months I'm destroying my life my family's life and my business partners life. Currently seeking help to kick the habit. Wish me luck.
its the hardest addiction ive ever faced it takes u to the top of the world and then str8 back down to the lowest point in the world all in one night and every time it takes u down it takes u a bit deeper then uve ever bin b4 . i am going through it know i feel like the only way out is a win so i can stop and ive had the big can stop gambling win 3 times and lost it str8 away its hell coping with the guilt .
Best way to stop any bad addiction is to replace it with good addition ( gym, cycling, running , any good hobby ) . This is more effective than just saying you're quitting any bad addiction. If you don't replace it with good addition sooner or later 100% you go back again.
Probability dictates that over a cycle of 100 spins, there will be WIN streaks and LOSS streaks. So when you are in the WIN streaks, you continue until the wind starts to change direction. Then you stop and walk. If you are in the LOSS streaks, then you reduce your bet by 1/3 until the wind starts to change direction, then you resume your normal bet size and after winning a 1% on WagerRoll, you stop n walk. This way you increase your chances of NOT-LOSING.
@@kevinnjenga72 no he said he lost it when you're on the adrenaline spike of gambling you will lose it all no matter what you're addicted whether that's not cashing out because of the thrill or going back and slowing losing the money from redepositing it drains you
Easy money is always create some bad habits. If u want to stop this b a smart gambler get in little bit through gambling and save Like bank interest. suppos if you have 100$ play for 2$ and shut the game if u win. Monthly income 60$
One night I lost $3000. Then I cashed out my credit card and lost another $2000. Told my girlfriend about it. And she said why didn’t you just stop, you knew you were on losing streak, why didn’t you just stop and cut your losses. I said I can’t, all I was thinking about was winning it all back. That’s the problem with gamblers like me. We can’t stop until we lost it all. Then I look back and damn, how did I f****** lose that much in one single night.
I just lost 15,000 dollars on roulette high stakes. First night in Vegas. I’m broke.. no credit cards. No food.. flight back home to Chicago in two days. I have $200 on my debit card. Gambling is fucking terrible. I’m also a full time ride share driver. It will take me 3 months of 50 hr weeks to make that back.
i work in a casino. the worst thing that can happen when you walk in those doors for the first time is that you win, because you will be back, and then you will loose, and then you will be forever chasing that cash.
I completely agree! The second time in my life that I played blackjack I bought in with $60 and was mostly min-betting $10 (max bet $20) and I walked out of the casino 3 hours later with $720. I had such a hot streak that I was basically calling cards and getting them. If I had a 13 and the dealer was showing a face card, I'd hit and say "I'll take a 7" and bam, I'd get a 7. Fast forward a couple years later, and I found myself sitting at another blackjack table betting $100 per hand with money I'd just withdrawn from the ATM when my paycheck went into my account at midnight. 'Why can't I win anymore?' I kept thinking to myself.
Zach Good Bro I respect you for making this video then and trying to help others realize the downfall of the addiction. Also, that comment was pretty well written and I just thought to myself that if I read a fiction or adventurous story inspired by real events that goes through a guys trials in life with gambling, that’d be an awesome ass book.
@@ZachGood thanks so much for your video. I remember my crazy feelings vividly when I won big for the 1st time. I was 22 and hit a €3800 win on a Terminator online slot machine (€1.2 bet). I even have a video. And many more huge wins in years after that. Of course it's difficult to stop when you know it's possible. The trouble is that it's just a bit easier to lose than to win and that's the whole business model. Thanks for the video and hang in there! I'm trying, too.
I was compulsive until I went broke numerous times in poker. However I had many nights I would leave the casino a winner. Still the losing nights eventually outweighed my wins by far.
Yes, that's my problem. If I'm winning, I keep playing in hopes of recovering the "investment" I made in previous days. So, I'm now going to just chalk the whole thing up to investing in a learning experience.
Simon S yeah.. in my case though it matters to some companies, like when I was on a streak, won 1.5k and lost it all in another website. I bet the first company wasn’t happy but for me it sucked but not as much as losing my original money. I basically took money off a UK company and lost it to a Malta based company lol.
@@AArrad that's not really how it works. No matter which game you play (slots, roulette, etc.), the game always has an RTP (e.g. 96%). Each game round brings the game closer to its intended RTP. If you only played one single game for $/£/€ 1.00 and won 1000, the game operator didn't lose a single cent. They'll still have their 4% profit. Even if you won a million there, they wouldn't care because they'd still have the same 4% of what all the players put in. And you know well those are crazy amounts, people put in all the money they have in their life. Some casinos rip off players off their winnings by creating crazy T&C's that no one can fulfill but that's just extra profit, the game will still do the same 4% return and if you won, others will just lose more. In any case, the casino ALWAYS wins and the players ALWAYS lose.
Solun I understand, theyre thinking large scale, but one way to boost profits is to keep people playing. After I had won a large amount of money, I tried cashing out online. They didn’t let me until they verified my information. So they let me deposit hundreds more but still wouldn’t let me cash anything out for a 3 day period. I ended up losing it all and more. So I understand that in the grand scheme they don’t care if you win or lose, but what they want is more gambling, because the more money that passes through their games the bigger the % they end up with.
I have been gambling for about 6 years now. I have weeks where I go everyday, and some weeks where I only go once. I usually will have at least 1,000 on me if I go in. I've had bad days, where I've lost 5,000 plus in that day. I've had great days, where I've been up 5,000 plus and have left on top of the world. I definitely have an addiction to it, which is strange as I am not addicted to much else in life. I can honestly say that I know i can't quit gambling. But I've made a deal with myself, and that is after I pay all bills and know everyone will be fed and taken care of until I get paid again, I can go gamble everything else away. I have a very good job and I get paid very well. It sucks to have such an addiction, but I am at least taking care of my family and myself before the inner beast comes out. I haven't always been this way either. I use to lose EVERYTHING, every time it was payday. But I levelled with myself and am doing better now.
I heard of a study where a test animal had access to a button or lever or something that would sometimes release food. When the pattern was predictable, say once every five times, and then stopped providing food, the animals would eventually stop. But when the payout was random, the animals would never stop trying. Seems like gambling encourages compulsive behaviour
Even better, the gambler experience's euphoria from the process of winning or losing, and so the loss is equal to the win, in their mind's. Its not about the money.
@@EGbeatz that's very interesting, I have a brother who is extremely addicted to gambling and I never thought of it that way, he's addicted to the unpredictable nature of gambling itself.
You said it all right Zach. What gives gambling its internal thrill is not the money aspect but rather the action. The whole dynamics of gambling revolves around the intense excitement that it puts the gambler in making him forget reality while under its spell. Your analysis is saying nothing but the naked truth. Thanks for sharing.
Gambling addict mixed with drugs is the most dangerous..casinos and online gambling gets richer and richer while players lost cars jewelry house etc..better be in jail than addicted with these
I just went to casino played blackjack for 20 minutes won $260 got up and went home before they take it back. But my brain tells me to keep playing. Quit when u ahead it's not easy my friend.
This has really become a bigger issue recently, exactly right it doesn't have to do with money. It's in the action. There are so many games now that prey on our addictive behavior.
I don't know the statistics of whether or not problem gambling has increased in recent years, but I would assume that it has (or will) because of smartphones. Lots of smartphone game apps utilize the same kinds of psychological reward tactics as does casino gaming.
I think I will leave gambling after this vid!!! But my problem is I always make profit and when I wanna stop I think about what I lost the other day so I try to get it back and lose again!
Gambling is a waste of time and money. Look at it this way: how much could you accomplish if you took all the hours you gamble and think about gambling and used that time to learn things, make friends, get in shape, and increase your income? We humans get lured into gambling by the possibility that we could make a ton of money quickly, but when you look at it from the big picture, you get so much farther in life personally and financially if you learn things and work instead of gamble. Just some food for thought.
You want more, not because of the action itself, but because in the past you lost much more and you chase chase... Or in the past you hit much bigger and you try to replicate since now luck is on your side. I will never want more until I am comfortable in profit. A drug addict does not take more when he reached his peak.
I’ve won so many times, I’d say more than the usual gambler(not bragging), but then turn around and lose it all on top of adding more from my bank account until I’ve lost it all. That’s addiction! This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me! I voted against legalizing Indian casinos in California, never had a problem until they were aloud to build so many around where I live. Totally destroyed me! What a great contribution to society, thanks!
I learned to do short sessions to win 3%-10% a session and then get up to take a break. It changes the mindset to make a profit and to grow the bankroll.
For years the government has been putting people in jail for running gambling operations, while running and/or profiting from the exact same thing (“legal” gambling). It’s immoral unless the government can get a cut.
A good example of this in my life is when I stayed at the casino for 12 hours. I started with $300 went as high as about $1200, as low as $80 and back up to $800. I only left after winning $475 and I couldnt actually feel excited about it. I was so drained and tired I just wanted to go home. The extremely good feelings died away. I am happy to quit but am finding it hard.
Its weird right? I had the same. Even though you are in profit net. wise, you still feel like you lost. Because you ''could have had'' 1200Dollars. Thank god we didnt lose a lot.
Exactly the situation I were in. Got to the casino with €250,-, got up to €2k, left with €1k... Didn’t feel happy at all. Felt like I lost €1k instead of winning €750,-... Gambling sucks
Mykhs DB say thank god you didtnt leave with 0. Everyone always says they’ll leave gambling and that “this’ll” be the last time but most repeat the toxic cycle to be left with nothing
Yes, exactly. You need more and more. Remember I felt great and high when win $500-600. But last time I felt like casino took my energy. I was not happy even if I win.
You've described addiction quite succinctly. Someone who has an alcohol addiction will only stop drinking on a given day when they pass out or run out of alcohol - basically, when they can no longer continue acting out their addiction. Now that you recognize this about yourself, you should avoid addictive things (drinking, gambling, etc.). If it helps, I'm the exact same way as you. I can't have just 1 beer - I must have 17 beers. When I gamble and lose, I convince myself to get more money out of my account and gamble that as well. That's why I don't drink or go to the casino.
Me too, EXCEPT I WAS on drugs. LET ME TELL YOU, I HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY IN One night of gambling than one month of heroin and cocaine combined, and I was addicted to heroin physically. I would spend about 300 on the heroin and 200 on the cocaine. Somehow gambling is even worse, just not physically, like with the needles and icky crap. I am relieved to be drug free (5 years now, whew) but I still go gamble at the slots. I have to stop that now. I get addicted to EVERYTHING! Even food, shopping, chapstick, makeup, whatever it may be. Man it sucks.
Addiction rehab stories commonly involve a person losing everything and then being forced to face themselves and go on the right path. Whatever someone's substance of choice is (whether it be gambling, alcohol, drugs, etc.) the substance is like oxygen for a fire in that as long as it exists it'll likely feed the addiction.
This exactly happened to me few days ago. I have deposited money for first time on online Blackjack. Made from 100EUR up to 3800EUR but still thought that I could win more. I lost everything in 20 minutes..
Yes its true its not about the money its the thrill the action...you really dont care if you win 100 you will go for 1000 and in the end you lose everything......
Only ever bet what you can afford to lose. Make small bets and put winnings aside. If you come away with nothing then at least you’re not in financial trouble. Just don’t break a deal with yourself. If you’re are unable to stop get help fast and cut any ability to use your finances straight away. Get help whilst loved ones have control of your finances.
Great and accurate analysis. I was a gambling addict predominantly poker but I was hearing this guy describing me and my behaviour. I have implemented a self exclusion on myself because I did not have the willpower or self disciple to stay away on my own. It was the right decision on my part.
The reason why the gambler did not leave when he was up $140 is because he did not know that this is the maximum win that he will have for that evening. It is in hindsight that we can say he should have left with the $140 but at that time,the gambler could not have known that.
I agree - the unpredictability of the 'highs' and 'lows' is a major driving force behind the psychology of trouble gambling. When we lose 90% of our stack we think 'Okay, this HAS to be the low, I'm due to recoup that loss,' and when we're up 50% we think 'Okay, I'm up, but I think I could win a little more...'. That's why, if someone gambles (and hopefully they're not a compulsive/trouble gambler, because those people shouldn't gamble at all), it's important they set stringent, conservative limits on how much we're willing to lose in one session and also their cash-out limit for when they win in a session. For example, a smart gambler (again, someone who doesn't have a gambling addiction) would walk into the casino with, say, $50, and agree that if they lose that $50 they'll leave, and if they go up by, say, $30-50, they'll leave.
Jimmy Maa - I’ve hit 4-5 jackpots in less than 4 hours and still stayed at the casino till I was broke....it’s not about knowing how lucky you will be it’s a disease I’m telling you....
This is the key to gambling. I gamble playing $1/2 no limit hold-em. I've lost money and I've won money. However, you need to be able to win to keep the desire to play ongoing. I keep a spreadsheet on my home computer and I keep a bankroll tracker app on my phone. I know what days I win the most money, what time of day wins me the most money, which month wins me the most money, and what dates of the month win me the most money. You have to track your progress and for a slot machine person, that is not the easiest thing for them to do. I play poker by an hourly wage. I've I'm exceeding the hourly wage for part-time work, I'm probably only playing 2-3 hours, because I'm staying above minimum wage. My hourly average wage for 2018 was $10 and I played over 300 hours.
I learned it after I invested 15 Euros on gambling and won like 800 euro. And I lost it all. Sooooo basically I lost 15, which isn't a lot, but it is an early call to never gamble
I guess you can call me a cheap roller because I don't spend more than $30 bucks and the $20 coupons credit that I get. I win more than I lost because my strategy is lots of patient and play very small.
When I go to the Casino, I only bring 20$ and I DO NOT bring my cards to take money out of my bank. So when I lose my whole 20$, I leave! 20$ usually lasts me about 2-3 hours. I go to casino about once every 3 months. I only go to the Casino to have fun. Not to make money!
Not sure about the science, but your math is right. If you could play an infinite number of times, statistics says that you will eventually lose all of your money because the house takes a cut. Sure, someone might beat the odds with big winnings but only if they can walk away from the game.
Since I been lost almost ten thousand euro in Italy today I lost 700 hundred euro and I just started find the solution to stop playing gambling casino but now I think I'm going to be rich thank you very much bro
I make that 22 dragon lore mw's as per avg sale price 90 days ago from opskins Bad times man I've both made and lost a load since 2013 thanks to csgo. Valuable lessons tho
Spot on! I go in the club and play roulette. I go in there to win only $50-$100. I say if I do this everyday I would earn up to $700 per week. Most of the time I earn or win that $100 in the first 15 min. But I dont stop there. We always think were going to win more. Once I was up $1200 and ended up losing all that and the money I bought which is $2000. I was in there gambling for about 10hours. I have done this many many times.
If you focus on the pain that it causes you, believe me you will hate it, but if you go once a year (even that is not good) but then its fun to do, but trying to pay debts and make profits that will not work this will destroy your life! And you know why because the long terms of gambling will kill a person. For example imagine if you win 5000 dollar, euro or whatever you will say i will make more after a while and you will make like 2000 more, BUT THEN you will go down a couple of hundreds and think ahh man i want that back and back and back so the greed will come out and before you know you will have 0 dollar/euro..gambling is fun for once a year not for every week or month!
It's interesting that the heroin analogy was used. And in referencing the gambler's "high", it's exactly consistent with the dopamine high that drugs produce, but what's incredible is that the gambling "near misses" produces the same dopamine affect. So along with fewer wins as this random number generator produced, even the "near misses" were giving the same dopamine high as the small number of wins, and thus guaranteeing a downward spiral whether slow or fast. Gaming machines are even programmed at a certain rate to produce a disproportionately higher rate of near misses at the discretion of the machine owner. The programmer simply complies.
Let's be honest, people start with gambling because their life sucks. Ifnit didn't, there'd be no dophamine rush and therefore no addiction possible. Live your life to the fullest and you're resistant to drugs including gambling. You'll not get addicted and will be actually able to visit a casino once every two years and not come back like gamblers do. At least that was my problem when I became a gambler as a 22 y.o. I still am now at 29 but thanks to some help I was also able to start saving and investing (where I can't really withdraw until I retire) and I was able to pay off a lot of debt. Don't let your life suck or it becomes much harder to give up gambling. Go after healthy dopamine. If needed, gtfo of your country and find love on the other side of the world. Or a job. Or retirement. Just live a little and you won't feel the need to go to a casino so much.
People are addicted to the high. Eventually, they need to feel that state of mind all the time. Even just ordinary life seems unbearable to an addict. So the way to take these people back to Earth is a really hard beating (eg caning for a few hours) or taser treatment to prove that ordinary life is not really that bad. But a better solution is to swap their bad addiction for a good one.
Don't feel bad. I just lost $5K, made up a lie so my mom would give me money .. and I proceeded to gamble her money away, as well. I feel horrible because I told her I was putting it to good use and she has no idea that I pissed it down the drain ..
The Casino doesn't play with emotions and the gambler does so when the gamblers is down, he/she starts betting big risking a lot more than the casino. You're welcome
Some days are ur lucky day, some days are ur bad days, from my experience, bad days > lucky days. The problem with gambling is not about winning or losing, its more about how it can affect ur mind.
Just keep ur Faith in God Trust in Believe If u want to Quit Asking God to remove the Addiction From u,, He Will Do it!! I’m on this Journey now of Recovery and Starting over Again! Stay Strong and don’t give up!! 🙏🏽
This was me i play till its nothing left even i won something i keep playing and lose all of it and now i am on debt and i regret everything dunno how to rebuild my life and i am sometimes depressed or stress
I would suggest using geometric progression when you loose. After one loss - 4 days of not gambling. After second loss - 16 days of not gambling and so on. If you win, go one step down. You could get addicted to postponing your reward ;)
I remember a neighbour told me how his parents won $30000 one night at the Casino a few months later the same thing occurred! I thought Wow! So I then asked him how much he thinks they have gambled so far and he shocked me when he stated about $200,000.00. A net loss of around $140,000.00.
I suggest there is another more simple explanation. Fear, especially for the addicted gambler, is stronger than greed. Let's use baccarat as an example which is essentially a coin toss game. The casino edge is the smallest in the house. On bank it is only 1.06 per cent. But the casino typically earns 14 per cent of the drop or 14 times as much. How does it do that? The typical gambler flat bets when he wins and chases it when he loses. When he wins 4 bets in a row. He wins 4 unit. But when he loses, he bets 1, 2, 4, 8 units or 15 units. In other words, his average winning bet will always be less than his average winning bet, because he never bets its up when he's winning. He only bets it up when he's losing.
This goes along with research that demonstrates that we humans have a greater emotional response to losing a dollar than winning a dollar. The fear of loss is indeed very strong.
Thanks! I've had my moments with trouble gambling (one night about 7 years ago I gambled away $400, which was about 40% of my net worth at that moment). Not fun. Understanding why we feel compelled to do what we do prevents us from falling into the trap.
Worst thing that happened to me is I won 8K within a month of when I started gambling. Was up 20K at one point, but that didn't matter. I was invincible then. Fast forward 5years and down 40K. Trust me, if I ever get back to even *I will quit*. Just can't get on that 8K streak like I did when I didn't know any better. I wish I could go back 5 years ago and punch myself in the stomach.
The Rock I was down 12k for a span of 6 months. I’ve said the same thing as you “if I could win back that money I would quit” guess what? I deposited $100 dollars & I won $12,500 in one day in a span of 13 hours. Only to lose all of it in a matter of 10 minutes. 10 f’in minutes
Lamont Johnson Hey man I can relate, on a smaller scale though but it still hurts as I’m a student. Maybe we can make a group and talk about this with others on a group chat?
Hey @The Rock I want to warn you that your mindset is going to ruin you for life. You think you want to get even but when you do you will end up loosing again. Your wish about getting even was all I ever wanted in my life over 10 years of my life all I said to myself was if I get even I quit and I hate this. That was my plan and hope every single time I went into a casino. Guess how many times I broke even? Exactly 8 times over 10 years, and I actually won back all my losses and made a profit every of those 8 times atleast 10k profit. And I'm talking big amounts like the smallest recoup of losses would be at least 10 times of your lifetime losses you mentioned in your post. If I had walked out of any of those 8 instances not only would my slate be cleaned but I would have walked away with $10k or sometimes even $30k over the $300k+ I've lost (I'm talking Australian dollars so it's pretty close to USD rate). And guess what? I've never walked away and I would tell myself the lie that yes it would be next time, I made a mistake but next time I break even I will walk away because now I know what I shouldn't do and after all I only want to break even so it can't be that hard. But mate that happened 8 times and my dream planned even though I achieved and surpassed it never actually worked. If youre young I urge you not to think this way, I am too old but if you are young don't make the same mistake as me. More than the money, I miss the time I lost in my life that I was supposed to be living out there and enjoying. Now I can't get back the time.
Also you are wrong yet, you think the worst thing that could happen to you was the big win. Actually nope, the worst thing that could happen to you is if infact you win back the money to break even. I so hope that never happens to you. If you ever break even just once you will be ruined for life. See my other comment on 8 failures. Cause once you break even and then you loose, you will know ahah I can break even, and I just have to walk away next time. I made a TH-cam account just to reply to your comment. Hope you learn something from my life.
I’m feeling the same way!! But watching this video and listening to others with the same addiction is really making me realize there s a light at the end of this tunnel!! FAITH IS THE THINGS HOPED FOR,,,, !! Stay Strong n Keep Praying GOD WILL REMOVE THIS ADDICTION FROM US!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Man im struggling so bad w gambling addiction, ive watched countless videos and even went fully broke and emptied my vank sccount several times, i hit some x35’s at the roulette yet i lost it all in craps and blackjack, i just keep coming back even though i know i most probably will lose, i don’t know if ill be able to stop this and i would love some advice on how you convinced yourself, cheers on the video mate, hitting the roulette just feels so good :(
Same as me brother,I won 10k$ in 5 separate sessions during the last month,and again lost it all in next 5 days :( It's hard for people to understand our problem, 'cause we would like to stop in some kind of way,but the addiction is too powerful and we definitely love to play roulette and slots
If you think you have an issue with gambling, you should contact an addiction center or do some research online into how you can learn to overcome it. The only things separating an addict from a non-addict are determination (which it sounds like you have) and knowledge. You need to figure out how you came to have a gambling problem, determine why gambling makes you feel 'good' (in other words, what need it's fulfilling in your life), and how to prevent yourself from continuing to gamble. You can do this.
You may have to find your rock bottom. Everyone has one. Eviction, bankruptcy, divorce, overwhelming guilt, abandonment, jail. Something will one day make you avoid gambling because it caused that one thing that is so upsetting you cant bear to go through it ever again. Then you can recover.
You got the high rollers who bet more than their bank roll. Those would be the problem gamblers compared to a volatility player who player small but with a higher bank roll. Both are bad but the smaller bets have more chances of winning.
I've been gambling for some time now and its a hard thing to stop. Ive lost a lot of money and my mind is always thinking about the next pay check I get. I use it on my addiction and squander it all until I'm left with nothing. Then i realise that I've spent the money for rent and get so angry with myself. I've taken a few loans of some banks and friends kindly lended me money which goes straight into my addiction
Sounds like it would be wise to contact some kind of mental health counselor or addiction specialist. We all need to be in control of our decisions, but right now it sounds like your addiction is making the decisions for you. There's that old saying about how if there are two wolves - one good, and one bad - then the wolf that is fed will be the one that survives. Your bad wolf is getting too much food. Time to start feeding the good wolf.
I read all these comments and probably can to this ….. imagine someone that actually did figure the game out and consistently benefit from a crazy amount of perks of gifts, food, and free play that can be converted to cash and still not satisfied. Also being aware of the pitfalls mentioned and have the courage to win and walk away with modest wins and still not being to overall net “ WIN “. It’s all discipline, the toughest part to master in all aspects of life. In 2024, things will different. It can be done but not by many but a few rare individuals.
Omggggg....thank you.i win 400 and 2 weeks later iv blown 1500 and an skint!I'm waiting to get paid to try and make it back.iv stopped a 26 Yr drug addiction for gambling!!!!I needed to here this.ill just do little bets because this ain't fair on my boys😢
I won 19,000 pounds starting from 500 quid. Thought that would have been the cut of point but it got much worse. Eventually I lost it All, Then kept borrowing and borrowing to win some of it back and now I’m in the shit and have load of debt. Went from hero to zero real quick.
If I make 800 a week. Pay 300 a week in bills. Save 200 for the week for gas,ciggerttes etc. Spend 300 every Saturday on roulette am I a addicted gambler. I have no debts and only play what I can afford. Also I always cash out when I'm up, but there has been times I got greedy and lost. I've been doing this for years.
I'm not a licensed mental health professional, so I can't make a determination as to whether or not you have a gambling addiction (and even if I were licensed, I'd need much more information to determine whether or not you have a gambling addiction). That said, here's what's true: if you put that $300 in the bank each week, in a year you'd have $15,000 guaranteed. As they say in Rounders, "You can't lose what you don't put in the middle." Do you track your ongoing +/- from your gambling sessions? I'll bet that if you did, you'd probably see that you lose a few grand out of that $15,000. Essentially, that difference is, at the least, an entertainment fee for you. But let's look at the even bigger picture. At the end of a year, let's say you lose $2,000 gambling (so you have $13,000 instead of $15,000). What do you have to show for those hundreds of hours you spent gambling? Just a bunch of stories about the big win you had or the big loss you had. You have no greater skills or life experiences as a result of that time. The money lost is replaceable, but the time lost is irreplaceable. If you win money in the long-run, the fact still remains that from all the time you spent gambling the only skills/knowledge you learned is perhaps some probability/math and just a bunch of stories about wins and losses. If you spent all those hours learning a new trade or skill, imagine how much farther along you'd be? Perhaps you'd be making $1,200 a week or $2,000 a week? What I'm saying is, you should start betting on yourself. It'll pay off financially and socially in a way gambling never could.
I too lost 1 lakh Rs, additionally, it seems to be healthy is going to be deteriorated due to tensions, sleeplessness. Wish me to stop gambling. Earlier I lost 5 Lakhs Rs in online Rummy. So never bet and gamble.
This might be the case in once instance, but I think the highest profits for casinos come from people chasing their losses. Where it really is about winning back your money and leaving, most don’t leave though because they have that high that forces them to put in another bet.
If you're consistently playing until you lose all the money you came into the casino with, it could be indicative of problem gambling. Problem gamblers can't walk away with money still in their pockets because money equals action, and the action is what they're after. I know in my experience I often left the casino only after I lost all the money in my pocket (and sometimes after also losing money I took out of the ATM while in the casino).
Set the WIN goal at 1% over the starting BankRoll , $1000 , then when hit $10 , break and come back later. Train the brain to look at 1% target per session this way = 1.01 to the power of 365 sessions = 3778% annual return - a feat that not even Warren Buffet could accomplish...that should be motivating enough.
Hilarious I used to watch a guy playing the fruit machines he had pound coins stacked up on the machine , about 300 he neatly put them in stacks of 20 looking really pleased with himself that he'd won a little , 40 mins later he had none and was at the cash point getting more money out , eight hours later over the eight hours he went to cashpoint about five times so I assume he lost loads
Slot machines are the worst games to play in a casino. You hit a 1:4 outcome and basically only win your money back. People who play them are blinded by the jackpots.
@@ZachGood but they're the simplest to win because i just press a button .. :D .. the more % outcome games scare me because i don't want to think too much :(.
if you dont want to go broke, never chase your losses!
Damn correct
two months ago i start gambling lost 200k then i stope i thought if keep this i will lose every thing last week i said only try with 2500 $ if lose i will stop i do not know how but i won 130k then i said ohi can take my money back then i lost 40k i stoped withdraw 90k to my bank then i realize i had big issue i just want to keep playing no matter what and if i keep this i will lose the 90k left from my wining so i stop i may try once a month cus still i am down 110k but i hope i can control my self
@FactFlicks6 please stop it not worth the risk.
i am entirely broke and suicidal chasing losses
I won $3,500 off of $10. I thought I was in heaven. I kept gambling and kept losing. I probably lost about $6000 since then. It's a trap. You start doing these psychological picks in your mind thinking this is the winning bet right here. You place big bets because in your mind that's the winner( you really dont know). I tried betting small but it takes too long. Tried betting big but you just lose it all again. I could've bought 2 cars with the money i lost. The best way to win in gambling is to dont start. Save your money and spend it on something useful. Thanks for the video
It’s happening to me right now. I won 3,00 and lost 2,800 back. I just got home from the casino. I lost the last 500 bucks of those 2,800 today. I feel like shit. I need to quit ASAP. I have a lot on the line if I continue gambling
Bro i am right there with you
£10 - £750 lost it
£19 - £1100 lost it
£56 - £7000 roughly lost it
£155 - £9800 all gone after 20 mins
YOU KNOW WHEN TO CASH OUT JUST DO IT!
Same happened with me
10€ to 5000 then lost it all in 1h then lost an extra 1000€ thinking that i would win if i put but i didn't.
U are definitely right
@@jahangosha511 how do u win at first 5000?
It's not knowing when to stop if you win, it is knowing how to stop when you lose.
True I made 400 dollars out of 20 dollars but I didn't stop and tried to get it back than after a week I lost a grand... So I stopped gambling waste of money...
Here's a better idea, don't gamble at all.
I gambled so much I got addicted to loosing.

Best way to stop any bad addiction is to replace it with good addition ( gym, cycling, running , any good hobby ) . This is more effective than just saying you're quitting any bad addiction. If you don't replace it with good addition sooner or later 100% you go back again.
Thank you. ❤
I won 46k in July and lost it all. This man speaks the truth.
I won 200k but in an hour they said Bye!
Probability dictates that over a cycle of 100 spins, there will be WIN streaks and LOSS streaks. So when you are in the WIN streaks, you continue until the wind starts to change direction. Then you stop and walk. If you are in the LOSS streaks, then you reduce your bet by 1/3 until the wind starts to change direction, then you resume your normal bet size and after winning a 1% on WagerRoll, you stop n walk. This way you increase your chances of NOT-LOSING.

One night I lost $3000. Then I cashed out my credit card and lost another $2000. Told my girlfriend about it. And she said why didn’t you just stop, you knew you were on losing streak, why didn’t you just stop and cut your losses. I said I can’t, all I was thinking about was winning it all back. That’s the problem with gamblers like me. We can’t stop until we lost it all. Then I look back and damn, how did I f****** lose that much in one single night.
I can certainly agree with u 💯‼️This so true what u said!! I feel like crap! 😢
@@Lori72604
We post in our channel videos how you can have the edge on your side, and it's not a BS video like many youtubers do.
I just lost 15,000 dollars on roulette high stakes. First night in Vegas. I’m broke.. no credit cards. No food.. flight back home to Chicago in two days. I have $200 on my debit card. Gambling is fucking terrible. I’m also a full time ride share driver. It will take me 3 months of 50 hr weeks to make that back.
Same here😢
i work in a casino. the worst thing that can happen when you walk in those doors for the first time is that you win, because you will be back, and then you will loose, and then you will be forever chasing that cash.
I completely agree! The second time in my life that I played blackjack I bought in with $60 and was mostly min-betting $10 (max bet $20) and I walked out of the casino 3 hours later with $720. I had such a hot streak that I was basically calling cards and getting them. If I had a 13 and the dealer was showing a face card, I'd hit and say "I'll take a 7" and bam, I'd get a 7.
Fast forward a couple years later, and I found myself sitting at another blackjack table betting $100 per hand with money I'd just withdrawn from the ATM when my paycheck went into my account at midnight. 'Why can't I win anymore?' I kept thinking to myself.
Are they watching you play
Zach Good Bro I respect you for making this video then and trying to help others realize the downfall of the addiction. Also, that comment was pretty well written and I just thought to myself that if I read a fiction or adventurous story inspired by real events that goes through a guys trials in life with gambling, that’d be an awesome ass book.
@@ZachGood thanks so much for your video. I remember my crazy feelings vividly when I won big for the 1st time. I was 22 and hit a €3800 win on a Terminator online slot machine (€1.2 bet). I even have a video. And many more huge wins in years after that. Of course it's difficult to stop when you know it's possible. The trouble is that it's just a bit easier to lose than to win and that's the whole business model. Thanks for the video and hang in there! I'm trying, too.
@@ZachGood thank you for sharing this info. I'm sick over what I just did tonight and I needed to hear I'm not alone in this stupidity I suffer thru.
I can sum up a compulsive gambler for you: we leave the casino only when we go broke, period.
But some will ask money from their friends and family in order to go back to casino again, which was also mentioned in the video in the end.
Not true everone is diffrent some times yes I would leave broke .sometimes I would leave right away when I won 100 bucks
Smh
I was compulsive until I went broke numerous times in poker. However I had many nights I would leave the casino a winner. Still the losing nights eventually outweighed my wins by far.
Winning and having fun is really hard to walk away from. Like he says it’s about the rush and the thrill.
sometimes losing is the medicine for gambling. it helps you change your mindset and motivate you to do other things
It is not just about the action. It is about trying to recover losses from previous days or weeks.
Yes, that's my problem. If I'm winning, I keep playing in hopes of recovering the "investment" I made in previous days. So, I'm now going to just chalk the whole thing up to investing in a learning experience.
@@erincook768i hope ur doing better now ❤
Yess😂
im 15 and my parents are both gambling addicts. Their lack of money always concerns me so it kind of forced me to watched this video.
Gambling addicts never stops...it's not about the money it's all about escaping reality. Does not matter if they win they will lose it all later
Simon S yeah.. in my case though it matters to some companies, like when I was on a streak, won 1.5k and lost it all in another website. I bet the first company wasn’t happy but for me it sucked but not as much as losing my original money. I basically took money off a UK company and lost it to a Malta based company lol.
Exacly
@@AArrad that's not really how it works. No matter which game you play (slots, roulette, etc.), the game always has an RTP (e.g. 96%). Each game round brings the game closer to its intended RTP. If you only played one single game for $/£/€ 1.00 and won 1000, the game operator didn't lose a single cent. They'll still have their 4% profit. Even if you won a million there, they wouldn't care because they'd still have the same 4% of what all the players put in. And you know well those are crazy amounts, people put in all the money they have in their life. Some casinos rip off players off their winnings by creating crazy T&C's that no one can fulfill but that's just extra profit, the game will still do the same 4% return and if you won, others will just lose more. In any case, the casino ALWAYS wins and the players ALWAYS lose.
Solun I understand, theyre thinking large scale, but one way to boost profits is to keep people playing. After I had won a large amount of money, I tried cashing out online. They didn’t let me until they verified my information. So they let me deposit hundreds more but still wouldn’t let me cash anything out for a 3 day period. I ended up losing it all and more. So I understand that in the grand scheme they don’t care if you win or lose, but what they want is more gambling, because the more money that passes through their games the bigger the % they end up with.
I have been gambling for about 6 years now. I have weeks where I go everyday, and some weeks where I only go once. I usually will have at least 1,000 on me if I go in. I've had bad days, where I've lost 5,000 plus in that day. I've had great days, where I've been up 5,000 plus and have left on top of the world. I definitely have an addiction to it, which is strange as I am not addicted to much else in life. I can honestly say that I know i can't quit gambling. But I've made a deal with myself, and that is after I pay all bills and know everyone will be fed and taken care of until I get paid again, I can go gamble everything else away. I have a very good job and I get paid very well. It sucks to have such an addiction, but I am at least taking care of my family and myself before the inner beast comes out. I haven't always been this way either. I use to lose EVERYTHING, every time it was payday. But I levelled with myself and am doing better now.
I heard of a study where a test animal had access to a button or lever or something that would sometimes release food. When the pattern was predictable, say once every five times, and then stopped providing food, the animals would eventually stop. But when the payout was random, the animals would never stop trying. Seems like gambling encourages compulsive behaviour
I think I've read that same thing, and it makes sense. Human brain functioning shares many traits with other mammals.
Even better, the gambler experience's euphoria from the process of winning or losing, and so the loss is equal to the win, in their mind's. Its not about the money.
@@EGbeatz that's very interesting, I have a brother who is extremely addicted to gambling and I never thought of it that way, he's addicted to the unpredictable nature of gambling itself.
When I win I wanna win more then I lose all the wins plus more. It never ends well

@@itsnothenry sane bro literally same
Easily said than done,, especially when ur not Addicted to gambling!
You said it all right Zach. What gives gambling its internal thrill is not the money aspect but rather the action. The whole dynamics of gambling revolves around the intense excitement that it puts the gambler in making him forget reality while under its spell. Your analysis is saying nothing but the naked truth. Thanks for sharing.
When you gamble..You also gambles away your life..it is a endless cycle that will destroy your life in the long run..
I think it's all about GREED for it's NEVER enough!!
Gambling addict mixed with drugs is the most dangerous..casinos and online gambling gets richer and richer while players lost cars jewelry house etc..better be in jail than addicted with these
It’s the rush not the money. It’s pretty much an expensive drug unless you’re only doing $0.01 & still feeling the affects
I just went to casino played blackjack for 20 minutes won $260 got up and went home before they take it back. But my brain tells me to keep playing. Quit when u ahead it's not easy my friend.
I gamble when I feel boring. I feel also I’m addicted, but this feeling when you win. It’s like drugs.
This has really become a bigger issue recently, exactly right it doesn't have to do with money. It's in the action. There are so many games now that prey on our addictive behavior.
I don't know the statistics of whether or not problem gambling has increased in recent years, but I would assume that it has (or will) because of smartphones. Lots of smartphone game apps utilize the same kinds of psychological reward tactics as does casino gaming.
I think I will leave gambling after this vid!!! But my problem is I always make profit and when I wanna stop I think about what I lost the other day so I try to get it back and lose again!
Gambling is a waste of time and money. Look at it this way: how much could you accomplish if you took all the hours you gamble and think about gambling and used that time to learn things, make friends, get in shape, and increase your income? We humans get lured into gambling by the possibility that we could make a ton of money quickly, but when you look at it from the big picture, you get so much farther in life personally and financially if you learn things and work instead of gamble. Just some food for thought.

@@محمدالسعيدي-م3ت Wow! Amazing! Great work - that was all you.
every 'spin' is supposed to be random....any "speculation" re 'quality' is gambling along with the addict, as is advice such as 'don't gamble tired'
You want more, not because of the action itself, but because in the past you lost much more and you chase chase... Or in the past you hit much bigger and you try to replicate since now luck is on your side. I will never want more until I am comfortable in profit. A drug addict does not take more when he reached his peak.
I’ve won so many times, I’d say more than the usual gambler(not bragging), but then turn around and lose it all on top of adding more from my bank account until I’ve lost it all. That’s addiction! This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me! I voted against legalizing Indian casinos in California, never had a problem until they were aloud to build so many around where I live. Totally destroyed me! What a great contribution to society, thanks!
I learned to do short sessions to win 3%-10% a session and then get up to take a break. It changes the mindset to make a profit and to grow the bankroll.
The advertising of legalized gambling is absolutely brutal.
For years the government has been putting people in jail for running gambling operations, while running and/or profiting from the exact same thing (“legal” gambling).
It’s immoral unless the government can get a cut.
A good example of this in my life is when I stayed at the casino for 12 hours. I started with $300 went as high as about $1200, as low as $80 and back up to $800. I only left after winning $475 and I couldnt actually feel excited about it. I was so drained and tired I just wanted to go home. The extremely good feelings died away. I am happy to quit but am finding it hard.
Its weird right? I had the same. Even though you are in profit net. wise, you still feel like you lost. Because you ''could have had'' 1200Dollars. Thank god we didnt lose a lot.
Exactly the situation I were in. Got to the casino with €250,-, got up to €2k, left with €1k... Didn’t feel happy at all. Felt like I lost €1k instead of winning €750,-... Gambling sucks
Mykhs DB say thank god you didtnt leave with 0. Everyone always says they’ll leave gambling and that “this’ll” be the last time but most repeat the toxic cycle to be left with nothing
Yes, exactly. You need more and more. Remember I felt great and high when win $500-600. But last time I felt like casino took my energy. I was not happy even if I win.
Been there done that . I know,exactly what you say .
i cant stop when i start. until someone takes me away or i lose everything. same with drinking. thank god im not using drugs. i am addicting person.
You've described addiction quite succinctly. Someone who has an alcohol addiction will only stop drinking on a given day when they pass out or run out of alcohol - basically, when they can no longer continue acting out their addiction. Now that you recognize this about yourself, you should avoid addictive things (drinking, gambling, etc.).
If it helps, I'm the exact same way as you. I can't have just 1 beer - I must have 17 beers. When I gamble and lose, I convince myself to get more money out of my account and gamble that as well. That's why I don't drink or go to the casino.
Me too, EXCEPT I WAS on drugs. LET ME TELL YOU, I HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY IN One night of gambling than one month of heroin and cocaine combined, and I was addicted to heroin physically. I would spend about 300 on the heroin and 200 on the cocaine. Somehow gambling is even worse, just not physically, like with the needles and icky crap. I am relieved to be drug free (5 years now, whew) but I still go gamble at the slots. I have to stop that now. I get addicted to EVERYTHING! Even food, shopping, chapstick, makeup, whatever it may be. Man it sucks.

Addiction rehab stories commonly involve a person losing everything and then being forced to face themselves and go on the right path. Whatever someone's substance of choice is (whether it be gambling, alcohol, drugs, etc.) the substance is like oxygen for a fire in that as long as it exists it'll likely feed the addiction.
Just started gambling this week and I already lost 1500...Thanks for this early warning video....got to stop.
When that 10p bet turns into thousands in losses within a few minutes. Dark times but relief when its all gone so you dont hsve to sit there all day.
I guess it's all about knowing when to stop.
This exactly happened to me few days ago. I have deposited money for first time on online Blackjack. Made from 100EUR up to 3800EUR but still thought that I could win more. I lost everything in 20 minutes..
Yea that big win doesn't really matter at the end.
Yes its true its not about the money its the thrill the action...you really dont care if you win 100 you will go for 1000 and in the end you lose everything......
Only ever bet what you can afford to lose. Make small bets and put winnings aside. If you come away with nothing then at least you’re not in financial trouble. Just don’t break a deal with yourself. If you’re are unable to stop get help fast and cut any ability to use your finances straight away. Get help whilst loved ones have control of your finances.
^ very reasonable parameters for gambling
You got to think of all the negativity of gambling before you think about doing it!
Great and accurate analysis. I was a gambling addict predominantly poker but I was hearing this guy describing me and my behaviour. I have implemented a self exclusion on myself because I did not have the willpower or self disciple to stay away on my own. It was the right decision on my part.
Good work recognizing the need to change then taking steps to turn things around.
The reason why the gambler did not leave when he
was up $140 is because he did not know that this
is the maximum win that he will have for that evening.
It is in hindsight that we can say he should have left
with the $140 but at that time,the gambler could not have known that.
I agree - the unpredictability of the 'highs' and 'lows' is a major driving force behind the psychology of trouble gambling. When we lose 90% of our stack we think 'Okay, this HAS to be the low, I'm due to recoup that loss,' and when we're up 50% we think 'Okay, I'm up, but I think I could win a little more...'. That's why, if someone gambles (and hopefully they're not a compulsive/trouble gambler, because those people shouldn't gamble at all), it's important they set stringent, conservative limits on how much we're willing to lose in one session and also their cash-out limit for when they win in a session. For example, a smart gambler (again, someone who doesn't have a gambling addiction) would walk into the casino with, say, $50, and agree that if they lose that $50 they'll leave, and if they go up by, say, $30-50, they'll leave.
Jimmy Maa I just lost $140 todayz😩😢😭
Jimmy Maa - I’ve hit 4-5 jackpots in less than 4 hours and still stayed at the casino till I was broke....it’s not about knowing how lucky you will be it’s a disease I’m telling you....
This is the key to gambling. I gamble playing $1/2 no limit hold-em. I've lost money and I've won money. However, you need to be able to win to keep the desire to play ongoing. I keep a spreadsheet on my home computer and I keep a bankroll tracker app on my phone. I know what days I win the most money, what time of day wins me the most money, which month wins me the most money, and what dates of the month win me the most money.
You have to track your progress and for a slot machine person, that is not the easiest thing for them to do. I play poker by an hourly wage. I've I'm exceeding the hourly wage for part-time work, I'm probably only playing 2-3 hours, because I'm staying above minimum wage. My hourly average wage for 2018 was $10 and I played over 300 hours.
No he is right u r wrong
I had to learn this the hard way, which I watched this sooner
I learned it after I invested 15 Euros on gambling and won like 800 euro. And I lost it all. Sooooo basically I lost 15, which isn't a lot, but it is an early call to never gamble
juststeve you didn’t lose 15 the moment you win a certain about of money that money is now yours so you lost 815 euros
I guess you can call me a cheap roller because I don't spend more than $30 bucks and the $20 coupons credit that I get. I win more than I lost because my strategy is lots of patient and play very small.
When I go to the Casino, I only bring 20$ and I DO NOT bring my cards to take money out of my bank. So when I lose my whole 20$, I leave! 20$ usually lasts me about 2-3 hours. I go to casino about once every 3 months. I only go to the Casino to have fun. Not to make money!

I would stay in casinos for hours not even keeping track of my time 8 hrs or more Flew by, I mean it was as if it were a shorter amount of hours.
I once went to a casino at noon. After what felt like just a couple hours of playing, I went to leave and it was dark outside. Quite an odd feeling.
Zach Good It’s like staring at the tops of Buildings as people at the rooftop throw clocks into the air. Watching time fly. 😎✌🏼#Sosm209
Not sure about the science, but your math is right. If you could play an infinite number of times, statistics says that you will eventually lose all of your money because the house takes a cut. Sure, someone might beat the odds with big winnings but only if they can walk away from the game.

Spot on! I go in the club and play roulette. I go in there to win only $50-$100. I say if I do this everyday I would earn up to $700 per week. Most of the time I earn or win that $100 in the first 15 min. But I dont stop there. We always think were going to win more. Once I was up $1200 and ended up losing all that and the money I bought which is $2000. I was in there gambling for about 10hours. I have done this many many times.
I wish he addressed the odds of poker in this. Much better odds but still addicting to many.
If you focus on the pain that it causes you, believe me you will hate it, but if you go once a year (even that is not good) but then its fun to do, but trying to pay debts and make profits that will not work this will destroy your life! And you know why because the long terms of gambling will kill a person. For example imagine if you win 5000 dollar, euro or whatever you will say i will make more after a while and you will make like 2000 more, BUT THEN you will go down a couple of hundreds and think ahh man i want that back and back and back so the greed will come out and before you know you will have 0 dollar/euro..gambling is fun for once a year not for every week or month!

It's interesting that the heroin analogy was used. And in referencing the gambler's "high", it's exactly consistent with the dopamine high that drugs produce, but what's incredible is that the gambling "near misses" produces the same dopamine affect. So along with fewer wins as this random number generator produced, even the "near misses" were giving the same dopamine high as the small number of wins, and thus guaranteeing a downward spiral whether slow or fast. Gaming machines are even programmed at a certain rate to produce a disproportionately higher rate of near misses at the discretion of the machine owner. The programmer simply complies.
Absolutel truth man.what u have said is 100 % true.Can u make a video on online rummy.There are so many people who are losing money by playing rummy.
RS Suresh rummy is for dummies.
Let's be honest, people start with gambling because their life sucks. Ifnit didn't, there'd be no dophamine rush and therefore no addiction possible. Live your life to the fullest and you're resistant to drugs including gambling. You'll not get addicted and will be actually able to visit a casino once every two years and not come back like gamblers do. At least that was my problem when I became a gambler as a 22 y.o. I still am now at 29 but thanks to some help I was also able to start saving and investing (where I can't really withdraw until I retire) and I was able to pay off a lot of debt. Don't let your life suck or it becomes much harder to give up gambling. Go after healthy dopamine. If needed, gtfo of your country and find love on the other side of the world. Or a job. Or retirement. Just live a little and you won't feel the need to go to a casino so much.
People are addicted to the high. Eventually, they need to feel that state of mind all the time.
Even just ordinary life seems unbearable to an addict.
So the way to take these people back to Earth is a really hard beating (eg caning for a few hours) or taser treatment to prove that ordinary life is not really that bad.
But a better solution is to swap their bad addiction for a good one.
That went from 0 to 100 real quick.
Just hang out ling enough to where "boring" is actually really nice and you don't miss "exciting."
My brothers and sisters gamble is a bad habit let's stop it♥️
Man I gambled everything away just now. I must really quit gambling
Same here bro lost everything in blackjack
Don't feel bad. I just lost $5K, made up a lie so my mom would give me money .. and I proceeded to gamble her money away, as well. I feel horrible because I told her I was putting it to good use and she has no idea that I pissed it down the drain ..
You can turn it all around by resolving to not gamble anymore and pay her back someday when you have the ability to do so.
Did you gamble after that day ?
This is a very simple explanations and so true...
The Casino doesn't play with emotions and the gambler does so when the gamblers is down, he/she starts betting big risking a lot more than the casino. You're welcome
Some days are ur lucky day, some days are ur bad days, from my experience, bad days > lucky days.
The problem with gambling is not about winning or losing, its more about how it can affect ur mind.
Not gambler but lost 236,000 in 50 days at Thunder Valley Casino so awful 😢 I’m not sure how I can ever restart my life again .
Just keep ur Faith in God Trust in Believe If u want to Quit Asking God to remove the Addiction From u,, He Will Do it!! I’m on this Journey now of Recovery and Starting over Again! Stay Strong and don’t give up!! 🙏🏽
This was me i play till its nothing left even i won something i keep playing and lose all of it and now i am on debt and i regret everything dunno how to rebuild my life and i am sometimes depressed or stress
I would suggest using geometric progression when you loose. After one loss - 4 days of not gambling. After second loss - 16 days of not gambling and so on. If you win, go one step down. You could get addicted to postponing your reward ;)
I remember a neighbour told me how his parents won $30000 one night at the Casino a few months later the same thing occurred! I thought Wow! So I then asked him how much he thinks they have gambled so far and he shocked me when he stated about $200,000.00. A net loss of around $140,000.00.
all they need to do is win $30,000 5 more times then they’ll be in the positive!
I suggest there is another more simple explanation. Fear, especially for the addicted gambler, is stronger than greed. Let's use baccarat as an example which is essentially a coin toss game. The casino edge is the smallest in the house. On bank it is only 1.06 per cent. But the casino typically earns 14 per cent of the drop or 14 times as much. How does it do that? The typical gambler flat bets when he wins and chases it when he loses. When he wins 4 bets in a row. He wins 4 unit. But when he loses, he bets 1, 2, 4, 8 units or 15 units. In other words, his average winning bet will always be less than his average winning bet, because he never bets its up when he's winning. He only bets it up when he's losing.
This goes along with research that demonstrates that we humans have a greater emotional response to losing a dollar than winning a dollar. The fear of loss is indeed very strong.
Zach, as a recovering compulsive casino gambler myself, I thought this video was excellent.
Thanks! I've had my moments with trouble gambling (one night about 7 years ago I gambled away $400, which was about 40% of my net worth at that moment). Not fun. Understanding why we feel compelled to do what we do prevents us from falling into the trap.
Zach Good Let's just say I have a history to not be repeated, and without the gambling, it won't be. Got any more videos?
I have 90 total videos, none others specifically about gambling addiction but I have several about addiction (one of my favorite subjects)
It’s not the kill
It’s the thrill of the chase
The near miss on brain scans.
I've had 100 spins and only 3 wins !! It's fixed and it will destroy your life !!
wow
Ya think?
From a once addicted gambler who has won a lot , it’s not worth it , no matter how much you win, you will lose it all back , don’t just start
Worst thing that happened to me is I won 8K within a month of when I started gambling. Was up 20K at one point, but that didn't matter. I was invincible then. Fast forward 5years and down 40K. Trust me, if I ever get back to even *I will quit*. Just can't get on that 8K streak like I did when I didn't know any better. I wish I could go back 5 years ago and punch myself in the stomach.
The Rock I was down 12k for a span of 6 months. I’ve said the same thing as you “if I could win back that money I would quit” guess what? I deposited $100 dollars & I won $12,500 in one day in a span of 13 hours. Only to lose all of it in a matter of 10 minutes. 10 f’in minutes
Oh shit, damn that sucks - big time. What was your goal then, since it wasn't getting back to even?
Lamont Johnson Hey man I can relate, on a smaller scale though but it still hurts as I’m a student. Maybe we can make a group and talk about this with others on a group chat?
Hey @The Rock I want to warn you that your mindset is going to ruin you for life. You think you want to get even but when you do you will end up loosing again. Your wish about getting even was all I ever wanted in my life over 10 years of my life all I said to myself was if I get even I quit and I hate this. That was my plan and hope every single time I went into a casino. Guess how many times I broke even? Exactly 8 times over 10 years, and I actually won back all my losses and made a profit every of those 8 times atleast 10k profit. And I'm talking big amounts like the smallest recoup of losses would be at least 10 times of your lifetime losses you mentioned in your post. If I had walked out of any of those 8 instances not only would my slate be cleaned but I would have walked away with $10k or sometimes even $30k over the $300k+ I've lost (I'm talking Australian dollars so it's pretty close to USD rate). And guess what? I've never walked away and I would tell myself the lie that yes it would be next time, I made a mistake but next time I break even I will walk away because now I know what I shouldn't do and after all I only want to break even so it can't be that hard. But mate that happened 8 times and my dream planned even though I achieved and surpassed it never actually worked. If youre young I urge you not to think this way, I am too old but if you are young don't make the same mistake as me. More than the money, I miss the time I lost in my life that I was supposed to be living out there and enjoying. Now I can't get back the time.
Also you are wrong yet, you think the worst thing that could happen to you was the big win. Actually nope, the worst thing that could happen to you is if infact you win back the money to break even. I so hope that never happens to you. If you ever break even just once you will be ruined for life. See my other comment on 8 failures. Cause once you break even and then you loose, you will know ahah I can break even, and I just have to walk away next time. I made a TH-cam account just to reply to your comment. Hope you learn something from my life.
Not addicted to the money but to the behavior
I lost soo much of money in gambling and feeling depressed
I’m feeling the same way!! But watching this video and listening to others with the same addiction is really making me realize there s a light at the end of this tunnel!! FAITH IS THE THINGS HOPED FOR,,,, !! Stay Strong n Keep Praying GOD WILL REMOVE THIS ADDICTION FROM US!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
A friend of a friend goes to the casino weekly.
Every year or so he'll "win" 2k-5k.
I say he might be breaking even. He disagrees
Man im struggling so bad w gambling addiction, ive watched countless videos and even went fully broke and emptied my vank sccount several times, i hit some x35’s at the roulette yet i lost it all in craps and blackjack, i just keep coming back even though i know i most probably will lose, i don’t know if ill be able to stop this and i would love some advice on how you convinced yourself, cheers on the video mate, hitting the roulette just feels so good :(
Same as me brother,I won 10k$ in 5 separate sessions during the last month,and again lost it all in next 5 days :(
It's hard for people to understand our problem, 'cause we would like to stop in some kind of way,but the addiction is too powerful and we definitely love to play roulette and slots
Please join Gamblers Anonymous. There are many ppl who quit gambling addiction.
How can someone join
The zero gives him less than a 33.3% chance of winning, then he chases his losses. It's all downhill from there.
Thank you Zach Good :)
I losted so far 12000 pound for nothing. .ho can I stop plz help somone
If you think you have an issue with gambling, you should contact an addiction center or do some research online into how you can learn to overcome it. The only things separating an addict from a non-addict are determination (which it sounds like you have) and knowledge. You need to figure out how you came to have a gambling problem, determine why gambling makes you feel 'good' (in other words, what need it's fulfilling in your life), and how to prevent yourself from continuing to gamble. You can do this.
Zach Good I just started for fun only then chasing that amount which I losted but bad luck again again losing can't recover that money
You may have to find your rock bottom. Everyone has one. Eviction, bankruptcy, divorce, overwhelming guilt, abandonment, jail. Something will one day make you avoid gambling because it caused that one thing that is so upsetting you cant bear to go through it ever again. Then you can recover.
nationofmillions let's c
Apply for self-exclusion
You got the high rollers who bet more than their bank roll. Those would be the problem gamblers compared to a volatility player who player small but with a higher bank roll. Both are bad but the smaller bets have more chances of winning.
Havent been to a casino over a year. No urge to go back and get the virus.
I've been gambling for some time now and its a hard thing to stop. Ive lost a lot of money and my mind is always thinking about the next pay check I get. I use it on my addiction and squander it all until I'm left with nothing. Then i realise that I've spent the money for rent and get so angry with myself. I've taken a few loans of some banks and friends kindly lended me money which goes straight into my addiction
Sounds like it would be wise to contact some kind of mental health counselor or addiction specialist. We all need to be in control of our decisions, but right now it sounds like your addiction is making the decisions for you.
There's that old saying about how if there are two wolves - one good, and one bad - then the wolf that is fed will be the one that survives. Your bad wolf is getting too much food. Time to start feeding the good wolf.
Hope you're doing better
I read all these comments and probably can to this ….. imagine someone that actually did figure the game out and consistently benefit from a crazy amount of perks of gifts, food, and free play that can be converted to cash and still not satisfied. Also being aware of the pitfalls mentioned and have the courage to win and walk away with modest wins and still not being to overall net “ WIN “.
It’s all discipline, the toughest part to master in all aspects of life.
In 2024, things will different. It can be done but not by many but a few rare individuals.
Omggggg....thank you.i win 400 and 2 weeks later iv blown 1500 and an skint!I'm waiting to get paid to try and make it back.iv stopped a 26 Yr drug addiction for gambling!!!!I needed to here this.ill just do little bets because this ain't fair on my boys😢
I won 19,000 pounds starting from 500 quid.
Thought that would have been the cut of point but it got much worse. Eventually I lost it All, Then kept borrowing and borrowing to win some of it back and now I’m in the shit and have load of debt.
Went from hero to zero real quick.
😂😂😂😂😓 so sorry man
If I make 800 a week. Pay 300 a week in bills. Save 200 for the week for gas,ciggerttes etc. Spend 300 every Saturday on roulette am I a addicted gambler. I have no debts and only play what I can afford. Also I always cash out when I'm up, but there has been times I got greedy and lost. I've been doing this for years.
I'm not a licensed mental health professional, so I can't make a determination as to whether or not you have a gambling addiction (and even if I were licensed, I'd need much more information to determine whether or not you have a gambling addiction). That said, here's what's true: if you put that $300 in the bank each week, in a year you'd have $15,000 guaranteed. As they say in Rounders, "You can't lose what you don't put in the middle." Do you track your ongoing +/- from your gambling sessions? I'll bet that if you did, you'd probably see that you lose a few grand out of that $15,000. Essentially, that difference is, at the least, an entertainment fee for you.
But let's look at the even bigger picture. At the end of a year, let's say you lose $2,000 gambling (so you have $13,000 instead of $15,000). What do you have to show for those hundreds of hours you spent gambling? Just a bunch of stories about the big win you had or the big loss you had. You have no greater skills or life experiences as a result of that time. The money lost is replaceable, but the time lost is irreplaceable.
If you win money in the long-run, the fact still remains that from all the time you spent gambling the only skills/knowledge you learned is perhaps some probability/math and just a bunch of stories about wins and losses. If you spent all those hours learning a new trade or skill, imagine how much farther along you'd be? Perhaps you'd be making $1,200 a week or $2,000 a week?
What I'm saying is, you should start betting on yourself. It'll pay off financially and socially in a way gambling never could.
That's pretty stupid. You'll have nothing to show for it in 10 years.
Gambling is a damn dirty vice, I'd rather have a beer or two 😂
This was very eye opening, my brother gambles alot, quantity gambling. Hes bought into the scheme
Its wierd how it works out that way.. just give it all back.
I too lost 1 lakh Rs, additionally, it seems to be healthy is going to be deteriorated due to tensions, sleeplessness. Wish me to stop gambling. Earlier I lost 5 Lakhs Rs in online Rummy. So never bet and gamble.
This might be the case in once instance, but I think the highest profits for casinos come from people chasing their losses. Where it really is about winning back your money and leaving, most don’t leave though because they have that high that forces them to put in another bet.
well im playing till i lost everything im i addicted? no matter how much im profiting
If you're consistently playing until you lose all the money you came into the casino with, it could be indicative of problem gambling. Problem gamblers can't walk away with money still in their pockets because money equals action, and the action is what they're after. I know in my experience I often left the casino only after I lost all the money in my pocket (and sometimes after also losing money I took out of the ATM while in the casino).
Set the WIN goal at 1% over the starting BankRoll , $1000 , then when hit $10 , break and come back later.
Train the brain to look at 1% target per session this way = 1.01 to the power of 365 sessions = 3778% annual return - a feat that not even Warren Buffet could accomplish...that should be motivating enough.
Hilarious I used to watch a guy playing the fruit machines he had pound coins stacked up on the machine , about 300 he neatly put them in stacks of 20 looking really pleased with himself that he'd won a little , 40 mins later he had none and was at the cash point getting more money out , eight hours later over the eight hours he went to cashpoint about five times so I assume he lost loads
Slot machines are the worst games to play in a casino. You hit a 1:4 outcome and basically only win your money back. People who play them are blinded by the jackpots.
@@ZachGood but they're the simplest to win because i just press a button .. :D .. the more % outcome games scare me because i don't want to think too much :(.
