Before I realized all gambling does is give you some thrills and fun, I was into it for money. Yeah I know it sounds silly now but at the time I really tough I could win it all and now looking back on it I realize it is silly and stupid. At the time I didn't know what martingale was and how it could lose you everything but I saw it as something that might work.

I had about 1 bitcoin (well back in the day it was easier to own 1 bitcoin, I made 0.2 of it just by mining with my old laptop) and I gambled with it, I made it up to 2.2 bitcoin for a while before it all crashing down when I lost back to back in a row couple times and all was gone. Since than I didn't stop gambling but I realize it is something to have fun with and accept the loss even before starting gambling.

This is a clear example of how gambling could be tricky, exciting and horrible. Imagine having the amount of 2.2 BTC at this time, you could consider yourself fortunate already but again because of gambling you have also loss that consideration. Gambling could be really fun especially when your are winning but we must also remember that in a blink of an eye, the amount that we have won could disappear.

I also gambling but seldom only and sometimes a month would passed before I gamble again. If I were in your place, 2.2 BTC would have been keep in my wallet. That amount will be the start of me investing more in bitcoin.

Long time ago I have a friend who was a government employee. With the passage of time he started betting on cricket and football matches and gradually he became addicted. Now he is complete gambler and the most dislike person in my community. People keep distance from him. He is the most bad character person in the community.
