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.
If a player suffers from gambling addiction, then attempts to prevent him from playing are absolutely useless. This addiction to the game is a disease. It can be put on a par with diseases such as drug addiction and alcoholism.
At the same time, psychologists argue that, unlike drug addiction and alcoholism, gambling addiction is practically incurable.
Once (I was vacationing in a resort town) I saw a very beautiful girl who was losing money over and over again in slot machines. I wanted to meet her. I saw that she had lost all of her game tokens and was standing in the street in complete disbelief. I bought one game token and handed it to her with a smile (I was hoping to get to know her). But she didn't even say thank you. Her eyes were lifeless (like a doll's). She took the game token and went to play again.
I realized that apart from the game she was not interested in anything.
And there is nothing I can do to help her.
