Aight so that title might have been a bit missleading, but I have some thoughts here.

I have NEvER ever gambled in my life earlier, well that was until I discovered bitcoins.. To me it seems as if bitcoins might be a kind of gateway to gambling addiction.

It started not long ago when I got my blockchain wallet. I was going to send some coins and all of a sudden I saw "SatoshiDice" under "Games" and though woot is this. So I pressed it and saw a cool interface with odds and so on. I had some coins so I bet 0.01 on different odds and experimented with it, but then forgot it. Some weeks later I saw a thread here on the forum about the martingale betting system, and got really hooked. I started martingaling on 48% odds and won minimal ammounts (0.01) but still I won and won and won. I didn't care about googling martingale or think any more about it, because I won you know? So I started betting 0.1 btc and that's when it escalated pretty quickly. Lost 10 btc in about 10 transactions.. I promised to myself that I would never do it again.

Next time I logged into my wallet I saw that stupid SatoshiDice again, but I felt the URGE to play again, I couldn't stop myself. I told my buddy to stop me but he just laughted it off. So I started with 0.01 again since I didn't even had a coin. I left the wallet with a small profit again.

So some days ago I sold some stuff on bitmit (http://bitly.com/VIrA2o) and had 10 coins again, ofcourse you can guess what happened next. Lost it all. However, now I've sold some stuff again and got about 20 btc and I really feel the urge to bet it all on 50% odds to weigh up for the total loss of 20btc I have right now. I don't know what to do to stop myself, I'm 17 years old and have never been gambling before and now all of a sudden it's a serious addiction for me.

Please help out guys? Do you know how to stop myself from gambling? I would switch wallet but I really love the blockchain wallet exept for the fact that gambling is only 2 clicks away. Also, what do you think about bitcoins opening up a world of gambling to young people that normally would not even think about gambling?

I understand your skepticism of this being a legit post since there is a similar one already out there. Whatever verification you need let me know, I'm not making multiple accounts to scam people out of their money. I don't think anything I say will change your minds now that a claim like that has been made. However, to gain a positive reputation as a legit new member, I would like to sort this out so other members do not believe I am a scammer or spammer.

And just because I chose Eminem as my avatar makes you believe I am the same person who made that post?

Thanks

You're right... The fact that you also lost money gambling on Satoshi Dice has nothing to do with it.

Valid point, I did not read that post. I guess the fakes before have caused major skepticism when a post like mine comes up. Understandable.

Thanks.
