Lucky enough, I have not suffered any serious consequences because of gambling. I think the only moment I made a mistake that almost cost me a lot as when I gamble with money that was mine. That period was hell for me after losing. I have to go look for petty jobs which wasn't easy at all. Finally I settled the money but ever since then I dont dare gamble with money that is not mine.
The biggest mistake a gambler would make when playing gambling is using money that doesn't belongs to you. However, this is what I normally avoid in gambling because this has been the major challenges most gamblers are surfering today, but is pretty good that you have settled the money. Because what you did is something most gamblers would never try, more especially the addicted once they would just lock up till it becomes a big problem to them.
I must confess because things can go out of the line when we don't expect it, one among my worst loses that I can never forget in a hurry happened some time ago and the only thing that helped me not to feel much of the pains and I was able to come out of it so quickly was that the so called money that I used was entirely my money and any time the thought of the lose strikes my mind I continuously tell myself that the money is mine and not someone else and that gave me much confidence to overcome my lost, it is double trouble using money that doesn't belong to you to gamble it is very simple so we should always keep that in mind.
