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?
No, I'm not into this kind of gambling, CS:GO, but yes, I've heard that this is a growing sports/gaming in the last couple of years already and perhaps there are really horror stories of some individuals, regardless of their social standing, like maybe having a good job that's why they were able to spend a lot of money into it and becoming addicted like your friend. But at least though, he had realized his big mistakes and completely stop.
But just imagine those who can't and still find this sports as somewhat a competition obviously as it involves some kind of money and then there are a lot of them falling into the addiction. I managed to escaped gambling addiction though when I realized that I need to change as my kids is growing up and so my priorities are different now.
