If any one comes in here and bashes gamblers that have issues,they really are showing their lack of understanding of how the brain works.
That said I suggest you replace gambling with a more healthy alternative like wallking/Jogging or working out. The cardio aspect will work better here imo than the short amount of time you can actually spend in a gym. Combining them would be way better.
As for the issue you can dwell on it and try to find out why you are this way and quite often its a cycle that never gets to the core of the issue. Look at the success rate of gamblers anonymous or any other group that rehashes the issues and you will see they do not have the highest success rates.
Hollywood has done a good job of misleading and propping up that aspect for a long time.
Your best bet is to figure out how the reward system works in your brain and go from there. Dont beat yourself up and dont get into the poor me,just attack it like a pitbull.
If you honestly believe all of this you should talk to someone or get help. I fear if you treat your fiat money the same it will end up bad.
Combining gambling and cardio? No one is going to be able to replace the feeling you get. For that you need help, no judgement being made.
Also if all you lost in a entire year is 1 BTC... it's hard to say how much of a problem that is. For if you got a year worth of leisure time for 240'ish dollars it could have been a lot worse. If you are hurting financially because of gambling yes you need help.
its not just i care about finance..
i just do care for my time,for my passion...
i used to be creative man before..now i only think of sports and gambling...
i remember in past days...early in the morning newspaper used to come in my house,i used to read current affairs and quickly grab them from my brother's hand..
now all is same except in place of world's,hollywood and current affairs i am switching to sports section..
when i am with my friends on the go..i am always switching to williamhills,wincomparator,flashscore,cloudbet...i am unable to concentrate on my friends talks nd they feel ignored..
thats what..
The one BTC a year is not worring (to me personally). But if it takes over everything in your life I am no expect but I would guess you need help.
I wish I had better advice, but this is not my expertise. I would call one of those gambling helplines and talk to them.
