There's a saying that goes, ""You don't shed tears until you see the coffin,"" and losing money in gambling is quite a common occurrence. However, I'm a bit curious because everyone has a different threshold for when they're willing to stop. For me, I've recently been playing less because I went a bit overboard, received some harsh criticism, and, to be honest, I also ran out of money, so I had no choice but to take a break.
I believe my biggest deterrent from excessive gambling is all the news stories I see about people who have lost everything due to gambling. Every time I read such stories, I can't help but think about the fear associated with them. Whenever I feel tempted to borrow money for gambling, I remember these stories of financial ruin. Borrowing money for gambling feels like turning on a faucet that has never been opened before. Once you turn it on, it doesn't stop, and it keeps flowing, and the first time you borrow leads to the second time, and it keeps going until everything is lost. So, I've been very cautious and haven't dared to take that risk of borrowing money.
I believe that most people on this forum are probably in a similar boat. There are many gambling enthusiasts here, but it's rare to see someone admitting they've reached the point of financial ruin due to gambling. Even though I know that those who have truly suffered such losses probably wouldn't come to the forum. But, in general, the people here are rational. While we often see posts from friends who have placed very large bets and talk about their wins or losses, the concept of ""betting large"" is relative. What may be considered a large bet for me might not be the same for someone else. Overall, there are more rational individuals here, and I think that's a good thing. |
