Hi everyone wanna share one of my friend's story.. he is jr dev and suddenly became heavily involved in skin betting, he is influenced by streamers, after witnessing streamers incredible wins, my friend just wanna try a shoot.. He began by throwing $300 worth of CS:GO skins for fun however things quickly got out of hand. He started selling gear, chasing wins & losing several thousand dollars in virtual loot. He has completely stopped using gambling websites however he is too ashamed of his habit to admit to anyone that he is losing.

Have any of you managed to escape the tidal wave of skin betting? After the virtual casino spiral, how did you regain your boundaries, trust & even your attitude?
He's at the peak of it. I think if he's already stopped, that's good for him. Because someone who's addicted to bet, skins or crypto or fiat.
They'll have hard time in getting out of it. He has to take time in learning how to appreciate what he's got now.
Soon, he'll be able to skip it entirely and will have the courage to tell this story to others. Not just to tell it but also to share his experience to convince others that they need to be in control at all times.
