@@Chico_Lachowski what you are saying is right but i was too, the odds of casinos are very bad and they can manipulate them even if the odds are on display
100% I acc think casinos work together all part of a bigger web to see if you have signed up before, first time I put £100 in won £1,200, from a £1 SPIN!! I thought this is madness carried on, won another £800, about 12 months later I’m maybe £4000 down. More importantly I spent all that time.
I have an addiction, it is killing me. I have 22,000 dlls in debt now on my credit cards and have no money in my bank account. I owe money to friends and family and the worst thing is that I won 3,000 dlls this weekend and lost them again. I am desperate, I cant sleep, I am in a bad mood all the time and currently I hate life and no one knows about it and I can’t tell no one. I just hope that I can return to this video one year from now and that my life will be better, debt and betting free. Wish me the best if anyone reads this, I hate myself. I am sick
A lot of us have been in the same position. Take small steps in your recovery. Exclude yourself from all gaming and be proud of yourself after doing so. It is hard to give up the thought of winning big, but you have to do it for your own self dignity. You will feel empowered after quitting and working toward paying off your debt. I promise!! Many prayers to you❤
@juankin the same with me 300K , there is a void in my heart that I cannot fill ,I feel like a failure , I should have left my job because I know I hate it so much and I lost all my hard earned money.
All sorts of addictions originates from traumas. Wrongly choosen tools to cope with hard feelings. Groups and theraphy can help. Dr Gabor Mate has smart insights about the topic.
thats true, and the last time i played, when i was at the peak of my game, i told myself to cash in but i became greedy and wanted more, ended up losing 500 bucks.
@Alex Geoffrey Thank you for the encouragement. Hopefully you meant funds to keep going the right path. I am an Lpn and thank God I have a job..I live in a tiny studio apartment in a rather depressing city. I dont belong here..but I've trapped myself. I am trying to make the most of it. God is keeping me afloat. I'm ashamed of what I've done with my life. It's not good enough. I want to help other people..and enjoy life. I've boxed myself In..when at one point I had freedom and didnt even see it..or have the courage to travel and socialize and live. I worked myself to death. I broke myself. I get by Alex..thank you for your kindness . I hope you are doing ok. God bless you. Peace
@Alex Geoffrey keep chasing? That seems cruel to say. I will chase life and God..I'm not running anymore. I do need support and a positive sober community. I'm ok.
I've lost a lot, but not nearly as much. I give this guy credit, because I spent so much effort to hide my losses. His courage to share save him grief and also helped others avoid pitfalls.
I got into sports betting last year in may & stopped exactly this may ( full yr later) & I kid you not. I lost over 30-40k & only won 12-15k max. No kidding, if you don’t got it just stay away. Doing better now atleast have 4k saved up from stopping last month. Take it easyyy
@@mr16325 Well lets just say Im a trucker w/ a good amount of $$ saved trying to figure ways to multiply my income & I stumbled across sport betting & I was live betting 250-500 & doing nothing but impossible parlays of 100-300 & surely not it added up drastically paying up a sum of -2k/-3k per week. Glad thats over with. Live & learning experience.
I been an addict gambler for 8 years now. I've gotten no where in life. Because of it. It halts your life. Until finally you find yourself in the streets. Just STOP. It is the ONLY WAY. .
True brother. I can feel his pain. I probably didn’t lose much like him but I have won a lot and lost a lot too. I notice now that most of the time I won but because we are human being and not a machine. We get off track and emotional get involved and that how I got out of my system and lost. I played baccarat and roulette and especially in baccarat I have won more than $120k usd in 3 days. Not lying but in 30 minutes of getting mad because of emotional s I lost it all back and including my 10k bank roll as well. I have a good system but I know now that it’s almost impossible to do it alone because no one can keep themselves under good control for a long period of time. So now I know that only play small sessions. Making a little bit then leave. That’s the best only of you have bank roll and system and know what you doing. Never walk into the casino and thinking luck alone gonna win. Because if there’s luck there’s a thing call bad luck too but ,most people only think of good luck and not bad luck lol
Multiply his addiction by 3. So almost 10 years .plus add alochol and pokoes with it. Yea closing in over 400 thousand spent. Nothing to show for it. I only stopped a month ago. See how it will last
I needed to hear this today. Trying to cope with an addiction that is not visible. The hiding of my losses has driven me to have mood swings the likes of which I've never had. Listening to this man's story has brought me to tears multiple times.
I've been a social gambler for six years, and it was nothing crazy until now. The last two months are a nightmare. I'm currently in debt to my brother and my mother. Yesterday I've gambled my salary away which I was working really hard for, working overtime for it. Last weeks my thoughts were only focused on cutting my losses by placing a correct bet on the correct soccer game. The only way to cut losses though is to stop betting and focus on your job. God bless everybody!
@@muhammadahmed1426 Didn't bet since then. I don't intend to get back. I'm doing decent for now with finances. Me and my brother are building a twin house.
Tf Oh true brother. I have won a lot and lost a lot too. I notice now that most of the time I won but because we are human being and not a machine.

I felt as if my addiction was getting bad, i quickly seeked the help i needed, and 4 months strong. Please get help before it gets worse, it can destroy everything
I've lost 2 million in my life time! And wound up homeless, I know all about it! It is a curse, a demonic bondage I had alot of gamblers in my family! It,s was a generation curse on me! I,ve found Jesus now and have slowly been rebuilding my life, it,s been very difficult so far! Boy have I learned my lesson in the past 6 years!! God bless you all😊😊
Try to find a new passion so you can fill that hole when you stop gambeling. Regularly attendance is Key so you don't skip sessions and it prevents you from falling into that hole again
My last bet was today. Although I had periods of breaks and start over today I can say that I completely lost my appetite. It's simple: we must be aware about the fact that the house always wins and that there are so many variables that on the long run is just futile and destructive. Now I will go and buy some KFC and some chocolates and I will spend my time with my girlfriend/friends. The first sign of maturity is to know that success comes with extensive work...never by cutting corners. Head up, man!
I’m leaving the casino, just lost my last 5k. I am sick to my stomach. Thank you. I am turning over a new leaf. I can’t believe how fast this addiction took over my life.
@john jonez I know the same feeling I just spent 2 whole days at the casino and lost 5k. I’ve never been more depressed in my life. It’s hard to keep going but knowing there are others with the same problem gives me hope that one day I will find happiness in life. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope the best for you ❤
@@miket6915 Its just money bro. That's it. Just money. I am sure you have a roof over your head, plumbing, and maybe even ate today. Many cant say any of that. Bro it sucks, but it literally is just money. Break down life, money doesn't really matter.
I only come here after losing big and I get depressed. After a few days I get some money and I go back to sports betting. Hopefully , one day I can let it go forever.
I know it seems like such a big chance or percentage that you will win instead of lose that next bet but I can tell you. For me it helped to see working a job to earn that money is like a 100% safe bet. You keep winning and suddenly u see the money stacking up. Nothings going anymore. Youre safe again. Please try it Im just 23 years old and very weak in this kind of things buf I did it and feel truly happy again. you should be able to do it too. I believe it.
Julian Boakye bro, since I started sport betting I lost 10,000 Ghana cedis. If I get another money then i go back to betting then they chop me again. 😢 😢
Thank you , I'm 19 and I know I have a problem. Its something I need to face but this video is something I will refer to as a regular reminder of how bad things can get. Thank you sir 🙏
I'm in tears because I fully understood every emotion he described. I haven't fallen as far but I think I was brought to this video prevent that fall. When I (on rare occasion) get up the guts to gaze upon the box of lost scratch tickets, I wish I could take it all back. Not even a million dollar win could fill the hole those cards only made worse in me.

What an amazing story. I sit at a slot machine as a way to unplug from the world for awhile. I dont lose a lot and even occasionally win (or at least thats what i tell myself) but watching this video i see so many similarities especially with the time im not spending with my family im ashamed of myself. The people in my life deserve better
@Chasing Horse Thank you for your concern and I actually mean that. I'm doing okay but I'm glad I realized it was becoming a problem. Unfortunately I haven't quit completely as it's a difficult addiction but I can honestly say I have slowed WAY down with it and am working towards total abstinence.
I am the same. I sit at the slots as a escape & as a reminder of my boyfriend whom passed away in 2021 cuz it’s what we did. Now I talk to him the whole time I’m there alone. It’s not good n I need to stop. I’m not losing family or possessions but I’ve thrown away probably at least $10,000 that could’ve gone to my debt. I think I’m stronger now to stay away. 🤞🏼
chelsearmy i just came of hopefully my last slot and blackjack table, just lost so much after i was up alot. I believe in you, i hope this was my last day too
Lewis Let's Plays I lost 1500 euro last 15days the money I work hard to get it, I’m immigrants in , I got this money from farmer work for good 4 months am working now I lost all, I’m so depressed right now 😢
I'm broken deep down my soul. I am morally crushed and destroyed. Yes you got it right, I am a gambler, who destroyed his fortune. Robbed his own house.
This guy has my utmost respect. He has excelled in everything. From success, to failure, to recovery, to success again. The fact that he gives back to others after his own recovery is fantastic.
After a similar story, on deferent specifics, I too climbed out of the hole that I dug and put my family and myself in. Priorities HAD to change. This isnt about having stuff....owning more....making more. The selfishness that I lived makes me sick today. Am thankful that my wife didnt take my family away from me....that was now 7-1/2 years ago. What an amazing family that I have the opportunity to be a part of. I also learned not to be so judgmental of others in difficult situations, even if it was caused by poor and self destructive actions. I can assure you that it can happen to anyone given the right circumstances and frame of mind. Wont bore anyone with the details, but life is not only better now, its better than its ever been. Even so, I wouldnt wish that path on anyone
@@robinacosta1698 … I’m honestly not a professional counselor, so I would hate to give inaccurate advice. Addiction can be extremely complex. I in fact did see a counselor that brought to my attention that there were underlying issues that were coming out in misbehavior and self inflicted harm. I would highly suggest that you reach out to a professional. The money I spent was minimal compared to what I would have spent continuing on the path I was. It’s been almost 10 years now, and I still have to consciously be aware of my mental health and what effect it can have on my actions. In short though, I can say with confidence that stepping away from a certain level of lifestyle was important for me. Keeping things simple removes a level of anxiety that tends to influence my seeking out what I feel at the time is financial success. The less my “need” for financial gain, the less likely I am to make rash decisions that I tend to justify in the moment.
lost $50000 this week,, too $3500 from my wife, watching this at 5 am thinking how am i going to explain that too my wife. dunno if i can go on with my job when i will retire in 2 years. alway try to win bad.
I have a problem at 26, $6500 dollars into debt, i feel hopeless, but i still have a job in a great career path and i'm dedicated to move forward. I'm going to take back my life. If i can get any advice from someone i'd love to hear, thank you
Well said bro.... Mental discipline is very important... I won 31000 with 3000.. I lost all 31000 same day by night.... I wanted to quit but My mind didn't allowed me... So I was chasing my intial deposit 3000, I lost 55000 in 10 days....
Problem gamblers always lose money in the long run.. Expert gamblers make money in the long run.. n the house thrives on the multitudes of amateur and leisure gamblers out there There's a lot of discipline needed in multiplying money (passive income generation) fellas.. regardless of the process.. many problem gamblers end up blaming "the process" but in reality they had always lacked the skills necessary to generate passive income; which is what they were unknowingly trying to do
Strangely enough, a HUGE part of the addiction is becoming addicted to LOSING - its easy to think its all about that rush you get in that moment while its all on the line, but its more about LOSING...you dont realize it at 1st, or while its happening, or maybe right after the dust settles, but eventually you realize that you had been addicted to that massive rush of losing - losing $ you needed for bills, $ you needed to pay someone back, all of it, and once you realize THAT part of the addiction, and the lies/sneaking around/etc you have to go through to maintain it have dominated your life, you can at least START to put it behind you...
This is a very insightful comment. A spiritual teacher named Eckhart Tolle describes this exact phenomenon in his books. He says the ego (or what he calls the "pain body") is addicted to pain. It feeds on pain. It requires more pain to survive. Most people with a strong ego will seek out situations that are guaranteed to cause more pain in the long run. It is a deep seeded and hidden part of a person's psyche to need and want pain, so it is not obvious at first. It is exactly the same phenomenon with alcoholism, drugs, and most other compulsions/addictions. At the sick mind's core is an addiction to pain. Tolle and other spiritual teachers show you ways to transcend the egoic mind to get out of the cycle of pain. This man's recovery began when he got on his knees and asked God for help. Chapter 4 of the big book in AA talks about a spiritual awakening from the sick mind by seeking out a power greater than our minds. There are a lot of ways of transcending the sick ego/mind, but they all involve a spiritual awakening in some form or another. You cannot fix your sick mind with your sick mind.
I’ve waged about 70k this month from just winning and losing bets, I’ve won just as much back as I’ve lost so in reality I haven’t lost anything, maybe 500 gain or loss if anything, i started with about 1k in my account and have just gone up and down throughout the month, it is very scary hearing his story because this could become anyone who gambles, I will come back to this video anytime I feel like I am losing myself
@@rafaelcruise217 Instead of saying "I can win" to yourself, say "I can't win enough." I agree with another poster who said if you really want some quick money, learn a high-income skill.
We are an addict in many other ways not described here. We have to learn to beat that feeling where it makes us feel we're right and this might just be the one that takes me to victory. It's just probability. But you need a lot of information and also know how to analyse that information to give you a certain threshold where it makes sense to take that bet. I'm not taking about slot machines. There's stock market , there's poker and blackjack which allows for such processes.
It's true, I won in one night playing around 4 hours in 3000 dollar machines, with small bets and I thought this is my day, I started betting big and lost everything in minutes.... worse was the feeling of guilt knowing I I could have gone with a sum that would have changed my economy for many months... addiction is not always visible, it is difficult to accept it, and most can tell you to stop going to the casino and it's over... but your brain works on you the mind...
I used to be an active gambler till I saw the better side in trading and earn multiple streams of passive income in trading in the stock market.

Oh my apologies, to the side who's story this is, I commend you for your openness and your willingness to share your story and in such a way it will inspire and encourage the next person to fix their addiction! May you and yours be blessed
God bless you! I needed this so badly today. My husband of 21 yrs has a big secret. I have asked him if he had gotten in over his head. I told him he could tell me and I would be right beside him fighting this beast with him. He WILL NOT admit it. He gets mad at me. We have nothing left of our once magical relationship and friendship. I'm lost. I don't know what to do.

Your husband is probably trying to fight his demon on his own because he got himself in the situation and feels guilty, it’s good you are being supportive, try taking his finances of him slowly so you have control and give him an allowance
As an addict with teh roulette that completly change my mind, I absolutely regret spending each single dollar on the casino. Even though a part of me sill thinks that if ai bet i'll win for sure, the rational part is taking over and saying:" don't do that you will lose and you could save and spend it with more productive things. I thank you so much for changing my mind!
One time I won $800 at the casino. I knew I should go home. However I told myself " hey let me play just $100 of this. Who knows, maybe I'll turn a good night into a great night. If I lose, who cares, I can then leave with a really good $700. However after losing the $100, now I say to myself " ehhh I couldddd try just $100 more. If I lose that I'll leave with that remaining $600. Still a heckuva day right? " Well next thing I know I'm down to $300 and my thought process changes to " omg I can't leave with a measley $300 when I had a really nice $800 three hours ago!!! I absolutely HAVE to get that $500 back!!! Then I'll be back to $800 and THIS TIME I'll leave ( supposedly ) " Down to $200, down to $100, down to $20. Need gas but say screw it, down to $0. Now I want to puke and/or kick myself in the nuts. Mentally exhausted, stressed out, sickening feeling as I have a walk of shame to my car 😢😭😡🤬🤮
OMG 😂😂😂😂 real talk sorry but this was sooo damn hilarious the way you put it 🤣🤣🤣 atleast makes me feel better after losing all my bets the way you did , 100 went to 300 to 1k to 3k all lost in an online slot machine .. soo sickening . Anyway i make a vow never to play again ever ever ever
Great lesson for all gamblers like me. I am on the same way. Already lost around $6000. I keep on betting whole day. Its really an addiction. Need to stop it.
@@DrJ-hx7wv The problem is that the law of averages, is based on a long time and very large budget. Also, most casino games have a house edge, "The Vig", or Vigerish; so the longer you gamble, the more you lose.
Came here as i lost $15k betting on sports am feeling the worst ive ever felt in my life all the hard work i did all gone but i guess i learnt my lesson and id never bet again
Went to the casino a few days ago with $60. Left with $750. Went back the next night and won again, another $650. $1400 I had. Went back tonight, lost everything. Absolutely torn up about it. Such a rush, but the self loathing hurts the most. Don’t gamble, use that money for something nice. Something you can use, be proud of.

Winning is what gets you hooked. I won 4 $1000, jackpots in about 10 days a few years ago. I thought I was invincible. Not the case, then I began to lose a lot more than I won!
BIG TIME.. great call.. going thru a divorce, losing ur kids, your house, or wife cheated on you with your best friend, or having to pay her alimony for 12 yrs, is way way worse than losing 700$ at the casino on a given night.
@@SAsh-zg6ln I think in current generation there is 90% or higher chance of any random woman cheating on her man or leaving(divorce) him for a better. So be careful and good luck.
I am struggling at this moment trying to find the will to dig myself & my family out of this hole I created. It took a lot to finally admit my addiction. I just need to find the strength to stay the straight path and not stray. The temptation is real but my family is what I need to remember to motivate me to quit.
I just want to let you know , Im here because I’m in pain and suffering immense mental breakdowns from my recent losses . I don’t know how to stop but today is my first time trying :-( . Hang in there . I need to get myself out of a 100K hole
@@kane5445 stay firm and away from the bets friend, as the guy said in the video, don't let your pride make you try to recover again, just accept that you lost and keep living, treat it like it was some urgent fact that made you lose your money, like surgery or an accident with your property, and you never want to recover the way you lost it.
Amounts don't matter, I'm working class. I've have often asked myself though, what if you had a million dollars? I always reply by saying I would go gamble.
After the cash advances multiple loans and pawning my stuff I’m left with 15$ , that was last night . I came clean to my girlfriend and brother I got lucky and they were supportive of me realizing my addiction, they are helping me get my items out of the pawn shop and paying back my cash advances . I get one more chance to fix it I hope I can quit I’m starting today wish me luck
Lackas80 Keep in saying that until you lose all your money, because the casinos are in the business of giving money away. How do they pay for those large structures, keep on lights on, pay their employees wages?
Have been an addict for 5yrs since they day i started to bet was a day became poor consistancy bcoz al the money i get i place bet always thinking of returning my lost money and win more but it was opposite now i think is time for me to quit
Today I am committing to quitting. As I listened to this video, I realize that I have not acknowledged why I turned down this path, today I was made very clear why. Now I have to turn back around, face my challenges and know that if I keep heading down this road, there is a dead end. I searched for videos and this one helped me in just a few moments. I’m done
Casinos and online betting should bound by law that no one can bet more than 10 $ per day ....!!! If you win big, e.g. 10,000 $ then you will get 10 $ every day , no other option of one off payment and missing the day means losing 10 $ every day. Like if you agree with the above rule
