I've been into gambling for a long, my major focus was on sports betting. From sports betting earned good, but I wasn't able to make the success continue. I lost out of greed, further my focus turned towards casinos where we get the instant results and doesn't want to wait as we wait on sports betting till a match gets over. By this time I was entirely new to it, and lost big. If someone have contacted me I could've stopped it for a while and lowered my loses.

Recently while playing dice, I saw a person who was wagering with large funds to recover the loss. By the time he has lost part of what I have lost. I texted him my experience, and suggested to stop it before things go out of his hands. He didn't responded, finally he lost everything. Have any of you got such experience.

This was sad. We should not ended up as that kind of person, we should be responsible enough if we want to play gamble. I think it is about greed, he wanted to earn more money but the other thing happens were he was lose and broke. First things first we should have a certain budget for playing gamble so that we can know what was our limit. Make sure that we should not exceed to that limit because if that will happen, it is possible for to have debts or worse become an addict.

The emotions that gives him the aggressiveness to try higher bets in order to recover his losses is such an act where addictions will start inside him, You did a great Job OP as giving some reminders is also enough to inform him that he's already taking too much of time and money. Whatever happened to him is no longer in your hands as he freely decide for his own fate. There's no wrong to share and if he/she takes it as a good advise he will benefits from your past experienced.

Being a responsible gambler needs to start with your own control, no one can correct you or help you but your own self. Setting right amount of
funding and stop exceeding from your allocated budget saves you a lot.
