Have you tried playing gacha games like Genshin or Honkai Star Rail? They're like gambling, but more money-friendly and can ease you off your irl gambling addictions.
Funny thing about addiction is that if you indulge in it for long enough, you forget that there is another way to live your life. Force of habit is a mighty force, forcing yourself to do something else that stimulates you might be a productive thing to try while you identify and deal with whatever the fundamental lack is that you experience is, the one that you are trying to avoid via addiction.
Being a wagie was straight up turning me into a gambling addict. Once I quit I stopped craving gambling completely. It's something about the consumerist hellish lifestyle that the lottery draws you towards it in the hopes of an easy escape. The false hope really fucks people up.
>don’t know what to do about gambling addiction. >Without it, it feels like there nothing fun to do.
How much you average per visit? you could start by pacing yourself and seeing if you win better with lower bets, I usually bring 200 myself to the casinos but i know for a fact I plan to lose the money soo i treat it as if im playing 200 to enjoy myself, yea i know sounds stupid but basically you pace yourself and slowly your controlling your addiction, completing cold turkey is near impossible with gambling but a slow burn out is a safe start, hey if you win, consider it a bonus. No point in chasing the golden dragon, it's like chasing the yellow one, you never catch it and if you somehow do, you'll wish you never did. Just my two cents.
I used to bring 200. I’d walk out with 3000 and then I upped my limit to 500 and so on. Until I walked out with nothing a few times and realized I was fucked in the head.
I usually go into the casino with a set budget (say $150), I consider the money as "entertainment" money and have resigned myself to losing it. I usually just play slots, any money I win I pocket.
I've never been to the casino and ended up walking away without at least breaking even. I frequently hit small jackpots between $100-$1000, never hit a big one though.
Saying that you never leave any casino without breaking even is exactly the type of law a gambler would tell, especially when your "system" is playing slot machines which are designed to have the worst odds.
That’s because gambling is crack cocaine for the brain. Not all drugs come in pill form my friend. You need to resensitize. Do some actual boring as fuck shit that feels like it will never end and a slurpee will feel like a blowjob.
>gambling
I started buying silver and gold.
Been gambling free for over a year now. Idk why it’s working, I don’t psychologically analyze myself, only others. Try it.
israelites gave gambling rights to natives in the states then preceded to become owners in part of their gambling interpose. Only until recently has gambling reached a peak with crypto and stock gambling. It was kept at bay for a long time.
>Please govern me harder daddy!!
kys grown men should be able to gamble if they like.
Most people gamble responsibly, they know the odds. It's entertainment. Its only retards like OP that treat it like a money making glitch that get fucked
in poor countries (for instance bulgaria, romania, ukraine until it got banned) it often leads to sharp social unrest and family problems. you're not gonna make it with 300e/ a month, might aswell gamble for 600.
once you lose those 300, you might realise the 300 were actually pretty helpful.
repeat a few months and you have a good reciepe for a criminal because of desperation.
since western countries are also becoming poorer lately, you might wanna pay attention to this phenomenon.
it should be availible, but heavily regulated, perhaps some kind of centralized database where you can opt yourself out for life if you know you got waaaaay too far with it.
I never got what's so exciting about watching money disappear. The flashy lights don't really do it for me and the fact that these machines NEVER react the moment I press a button just makes me rage because it feels like I'm getting cheated.
Making me want to gamble. I have like $40 in cash but it’s retarded to play dollar slots because they never pay out as much. Gotta go do 3-5 to get anything and this has been proven by the gambling regulators
Ok, one post anon, care to say anything more than just *gambling is fun; i hate it*? Or was this just one more way to indulge your drug…say a thing and sit back?
Stories like this make me understand why we learn seemingly useless math subjects like probability.
They provide us with the intuition allowing to see through the israeli tricks of gambling
Slots machines are nothing more than rng generators with fancy UIs
My best advice for you is to study probabilities, even if it seems hard and intimidating.
I'm pretty sure there's some website like brilliant that'll provide some courses to help you understand the fundamental principles of probability

I prefer CS:GO cases because it's possible to make a profit
I think profiting from a game constrained by developers is a limited financial game that someone made up.
You would save so much more money just staying home and drinking. Drinking also gives you free time to work on your hobbies or enjoy entertainment.
I feel proud and sober for now.

I do something similar.

Stop lying to yourself and find Jesus, anon.
I'm not a gambler... I visit a casino on average once a year, on the rare occasion twice.
It just so happens that I've never lost... Maybe casino's in America are all rigged but here they are all fair and regulated strictly.
gambling is the worst addiction and i have lived with full blown heroin junkies

Start reading, nagger.
Rent a cabin in a middle of nowhere for a month loaded with nothing but food and books and for a month and go cold turkey.
Crypto
i reccomend paradox grand strategy games, nothing released the last few years though.
I knew a guy who transferred his gambling addiction to diablo 2. Although there's more options today than just d2
True, it’s what life is about and it’s good to feel alive!
Cured a friend with world of War craft.
Still addicted, but cheaper.
Simply play something else. I gamble every once in a while, when i lose or get bored i switch games.
Cold turkey nagger, if you have to
I never got what's so exciting about watching money disappear. The flashy lights don't really do it for me and the fact that these machines NEVER react the moment I press a button just makes me rage because it feels like I'm getting cheated.

It's not so bad, it's just numbers.
Don't quit now
Someone else is going to win your money and everything you invested will be for nothing
Give me some of your money
Buy shit coins or start a business if you like taking risk homosexual
