 I have A Fucking Gambling Problem
#6390554 - 12/20/06 02:26 PM (1 year, 10 months ago) |

So ive had a minor one for a while but it just reached whole new levels, in crazy land terms if not quite (and i mean not quite but shit its been hard to deal with) real land terms.
I joined 888.com and wired in $200 dollars
fuck i dont even want to talk about it.
Gambling is bad. Im still at it, slowly slowly makey money then WHAM GO FUCKING MENTAL WITH BETS BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN HANDLE!!!!!
Cos of the strings attached match your stake bonus for joining i had $400 in the kitty and you gotta bet 20X that to cash out. So (stitch up) you gotta wager $4000+ cumulative before you can take any winnings out at all.
Im gutted about it as i hadnt bothered to read the terms, but i get to it and after a fraught buzzing up/down hour or two i have $2500 in the bank, rising a little give or take.
The upshot is the next day im twitching for the rush again and take it out the bankroll before its processed and gamble.
And end up going mental before getting taken out big time. Everything.
So in real money i lost £100 but in crazy gamble land...
Reeling away from the computer like my heart has just been broken, wanting to curl into a little foetal ball at the injustice of the moment... its like, i can take my losses, given a bit of time. but at the crux moment its like its ripped my fucking heart out and i never roll into a ball because of that little inner voice that is implaccable with weakness and knows it wouldn't really help.
Fuck me i could have played with that cash, even if i couldnt think of shit i really wanted to do with it in the day whilst i hadnt spunked it.
The mind of a chronic gambler i guess.
That mind vs the me that would never in a million years feel ok with having 3 hands of BJ on the go at $300 dollars each. F'ed in the A at the last, two times the dealer had BJ suddenly ive got nothing. But then did i ever have it all...
Not really and i can say that pretty earnestly now, though the rent is no doubt due to the tune of two months.
Moral of the story is: i think i might be an idiot.
I also sit there a mind and moment rife with schitzotypic thoughts that generally claim that overall they can control the moment enough to win a little from it. Zone in and out. Like Zatoichi. I dont think that mantra qualifies for red mist spack out moments though. Sadly.

In 3 years, my father gambled away over $150,000 in slot machines and lottery tickets. That's a FUCKING gambling problem...

i went and gambled in a casino once. I learned pretty quickly it's fucking dumb and you might as well just throw your money away or spend it on strippers.
the free liquor was nice tho

$100 bucks aint no big deal. It's easy to blow that much money just like that, even when your not gambling.

People should realize that the odds are against them.
If you want to gamble for money, set something up with some friends and acquaintances (not too shady ofcourse) where lets say you all lay down $100 each for the night's gamble where the first 50 is spent on food n drink and the second is prize money.
If you find a way to have even odds for everybody (for instance player vs player roulette where the "bank" distributes its earnings equally among the players the moment the number of chips earned makes this possible) then you are having a fun night of gambling with the buddies, and a chance to win a sizable sum which is fair to everybody. In such a non rigged game, as you have more and more of those nights, you'll have as much wins as losses, so you'll have the joy of being with your friends, the joy of gambling, the joy of winning at times too, but you won't be plucked like a chicken, as you inevitably will be in those rigged games online or in the casino.

its the $2500 up that i sat on for a day or two that i was smarting about, otherwise i agree.
i never got that far beyond my original stakes before, hence...
and, poker is a retards game thats why you get beat by them. Big balls and low intelligence can equal a good poker player, they just need enough to fathom their hand and continue to breath.

No! The moral is don't gamble.
At least don't bet more than the entertainment value. I play about $20 per week in Sport Selects during football season. I expect to lose every penny of it, but it's worth it for the excitement of it. It's not worth more than $20 to me, so that's my limit. Betting more is a way to lose more, not win more.
You can't win in gambling. Anybody who gambles ends up in the red.
Stop gambling. And stop calling yourself an idiot. You're just doing that to rationalize dumb behaviour. Gambling addiction can fuck up your life more quickly and permanently than drugs. Cut your losses and quit now, not later.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. -- `Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' -- Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
