I’m many can relate to this situation since most of us becomes extremely greedy whenever we already have huge profit then slowly you are losing it due to bad lose streak.
This happened to many times when I already have huge profit such as x2 to x5 of my bankroll. I usually hangout out for more gambling but place only small bet on slot games. This small bet turns into increasing bet when losing badly u til I already buying bonus that keep losing too until I bust all my bankroll.
Gladly, I overcome already this weakness through securing immediately my profit by withdrawing it and convert to fiat via exchange P2P to avoid gambling again for more win.
That's actually good thing to convert it to fiat but you should take that decision into a strict part of yours, but we can't really finally say that gambling should be avoided. The reality is really harsh but we should always bare in our minds that we're exploited with so many ways and that's making it worst to people that couldn't control their habits. So we must be responsible enough to control ourselves in terms of betting gambling at all times even if we thought it won't affect our personal lives. It's hard to admit that we've become slave of it, realization is very important in order to manage gambling responsibility.
but you should take that decision into a strict part of yours
I bet he did already when he converted his crypto to fiat.
but we can't really finally say that gambling should be avoided.
Why not? If you think it making things bad for you, then it would be best to just quit it. You rather say, that there are still no guarantees of quitting it permanently because temptations are only there in the corner but we can't blame our selves. We are only a human who are prone to it.
According in the OP's situation, there are no exploitation that happened there and even if we say there are, like casinos are heavily promoting their services, I think it's wrong to blame them because the final decision was still up to us.
So we must be responsible enough to control ourselves in terms of betting gambling at all times even if we thought it won't affect our personal lives
That's right that it's better to be safe than sorry. Confidence is good but sometimes it can be the ones that can screw us.
