Let's talk about... Gambling and how it affects your life?

[ubbey04]

What is Gambling?

Gambling is betting or staking of something of value, with consciousness of risk and hope of gain. Virtually every bet yields a win for one side and a loss for the other. 

Gambling is one of the most insidious human vices, as it presents the illusion of easy money yet can quickly lead to financial ruin. 

Did you know that harmful effects of  gambling isn't just about losing money. Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationships, physical and mental health, work performance and social life.?

Gambling addiction is a type of impulse-control disorder where you have little or no control over your urge to gamble, even when you are aware that your actions can hurt yourself and others and even when the odds are against you.

Common gambling problems :

the loss of household or personal money;

arguments;

anger and violence;

lies and deception;

neglect of family;

negatively affected relationships;

poor communication;

confusion of family roles and responsibilities;

the development of gambling problems or other addictions within the family.

Now my question is .. what are the affects of gambling in your life ? Have you tried to rehabilitate yourself out from gambling ? Please write your stake username after reply on these topic 😊

Gambling helps me to pay our bills in our home, yeah one time i deposit all of my money that i saved up a months just gone in a minutes. it broke me, i tried to rehabilitate myself from gambling instead of depositing huge amount. now i just deposit a little like $4 and if i lost. then that`s it i will not deposit again in a week.  xd

It changed my life,, stressfree to stressful 🤣 hahaha, though im not using my own money to gamble it helped me to pay bills and so on thanks for all free and EZ money from eddie💕 

#thanks #STAKE

When you control the game it helps a lot pay bills it makes me help others and share some blessing from gambling but when im not control it full of stress and make my savings to zero and I can't help others even my self to survive that's why play smart  is the best  Control the game and have a self discipline on playing.

 

Thanks to Stake is more fun and more new friends..

Personally gambling makes me feel better when i'm down. whenever i win some good shit it makes me forget those things troubling me mentally and even with the bust i start think about the recovery and try on to create new strats and forget all those rubbish things which are troubling me. 

But we all know gambling is injurious to both health and wealth so play with what you can afford to loose

Gambling can be of big help to you once you play smarter like what STAKE teaches us to do. If you win some learn how to save for yourselves or help others in need.. if you lose dont try to chase any winnings coz thats the time you will lose more. 

For me,gambling helps me a lot specially buying some groceries,paying bills and etc. But its not always a win, sometimes you will lose and thats the time you need to have a break.  i also met a lot of new ppl and some friends 😊

Well gambling effects depends on how you discipline yourself plus individual's personality, for me i treat gambling like an online rpg game hehe, i quit playing mmorpg because of this. I spend a lot of money and time making my character strong and yet the only thing i get at the end is satisfaction. As a gamer for decades i find online gambling interesting and satisfying but sometimes frustrating when you're busted. Win or Lose i still keep on playing not because of gambling itself but because of the community / people whom you met in game, who always share; ideas, experiences, funny and violent reactions, share blessings (rains and tips), and opportunity to do something better and to enjoy gambling itself  #Elitista #BitcoinerzFanz

We often associate gambling with harmful, negative effects, but this is not the case for everyone. 

It pretty much helped me in a good way, financially I mean. How is it possible ? By rigorously managing profits and losses.

My biggest fault is spending a lot of time on the site. But I don't neglect everything else though. I always take time to appreciate people and things that I love. Oh, and I get my 8 hours of sleep a day. No way of getting tired because of gambling 😄

Gambling is oky for fun sometimes but if addicted it's very bad for anyone.

I like the way you enable to realise the consequences of betting and risking the hard earned money.  You even tried to control yourself from avoiding it ..but well we are gamblers..we can pause for a while but not totally stop.. 

And I'm happy to see you set limits .. a proper way to control it . And risking only what you can afford to lose 

[reyar]

[Insaiyan23]

Still a touch of sorrow in this strand...

How is this even real..

[Dansliplol]

Addiction is the worst form of getting depression especially if it is gambling addiction. @ubbey04, not everyone has the same relative cycle to clean themselves from bad habits...

[Trucker35]

Gambling changes my life all the time.  It either makes me happy or stay sad but I try and always stay positive no matter what cause I am breathing every day and that makes me happy.  Glory to God!  

[Kentakofotdm]

Lost my apartment, 20% of my weight, credibility, few relationships, increased my insomnia quite abit I been awake 3-5 days/week for +1 year now etc. On the upside, my days are long and slow:D

[Big Dallas]

Here we should first acknowledge that no one will ever be 100% happy to lose his money on a gamble. 
For me when I win, I am happy. when I lose I am sad and my mood all the day isn't that bright. 
But I actually limit my expenses on gambling like 1000BGN per month that's like 400euro. So it doesn't affect my life on a large scale.
