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.
well he already stopped so what else is there to do? i just hope he doesn’t go back and get addicted again because then he would have to be professionally intervened in but now that he seems to have realized the consequences it’s already fine
