I guess I am addicted to gambling

Hello

I am 25 years old and I am afraid of being addicted to gambling and I have been in treatment for depression. I have been playing in arcades for 4-5 years and I am happy when I win 50 € and depressed when I lose. I almost don't manage to go 2 days without gambling, although I've decided to do it so often, because of course the losses outweigh the winnings when I gamble almost every day. I always think I can make money with it sometimes it works and you go with 100 euros + from the arcade but if it runs stupidly are then also times 50- 100 € gone.

I was 2 weeks ago times in a casino and have won there 800 euros by Seven Chance at Merkur have played only on 20 cent and then won so much. Well what can I say was on the weekend then again there and have lost about 300 what has me so angekotzt that I'm back today to recover the lost money unfortunately I have lost again 100 €. Have now lost in 2 days 400 € which makes me very sad and angry at myself because it is a lot of money for me

Do you have any tips or opinion about my situation?

The statement alone that you are going there with the aim of recouping the losses. Unfortunately, this does not bode well. Believe me, I speak from experience. Be happy about the rest of your profit and treat yourself to something for it. Then you have more of it

You can easily test this
Just go 2 months without gambling
If you can't resist the urge, you have your answer

But as I understand it now, you don't have a huge Debt and maybe it's good to do something right now to avoid getting into that debt

My Tip who ne break if that does not work simply in the respective arcades lock..can be difficult but already goes one must go through

Good luck on your way

Almost do not manage 2 days not to go play although I have already so often resolved to do so

This is for me an indication that you already have an addiction problem. i did a therapy 2-3 years ago...

You should confide in someone and tell them about your problem. In addition, you should leave all money to the person you trust (cash money, EC card, etc.). Do your shopping and bills together or show the receipts to the person
Abstinence from gambling is very important. You must distance yourself from all (gambling forums, gambling streams, gambling apps, gambling videos, etc.).

After a few weeks the "pressure" will be gone....

Hi, if I may ask, was the 800€ hit your first time so ne "big" sum?
If I understood correctly, you have gambled away before only 50 - 100€ in normal Spielos.

That sounds dangerous in any case, you have no clear line, no loss limit so also no limit currently.
To recoup losses, the 2nd 3rd ... visit in the month in a Spielo is the last decision you should have.

My Tip, tell someone about your situation to whom you can hand over your EC card without any problems (mother, father, wife... )
To answer your question for you personally then, take at the beginning of the month only the cash you really need for you and see if the fingers itch or if you can stand it not to go.

Set personal limits, take only money into the Spielo, which also does not hurt.
Playing should be fun and none of us win.

I was once a very sick gambling addict, had almost 60 000€ in debt.
20 000 I still pay off in installments but I managed to pay off 40 000€ in 2 years through discipline.
I hope for you you will not slip into the same situation, because I had to work 3 jobs (2 part-time and 1 mini-job) to pay off the sum so quickly. Will be Debt free by the end of this year. I am also lucky to have a wife by my side who has been with me for the last 2 years and has also supported me financially.
She knows that I gamble, but that I gamble with limits and if I win something good she also gets something nice from it.

Wish you all the best and much success.

No I have made no debts at all by it. I can also still appreciate the value of money and am really amazed how in casinos at the machine is played. I see there people who push 100 € bills in the machines and after 2 min comes the next 100 where I wonder if the relationship to money is completely lost with them...... I'm afraid to become so times

yes exactly I go almost daily in the normal arcade in my place sometimes I lose 50, 60, 70 € sometimes I win but mostly I lose of course certainly in the 4-5 years also a few 1000€. I know that is for others here Garnichts however I would like to stop with it absolutely and draw a line. I think to myself then as, I go still 1. times play to win then again properly.

The 800 € were my biggest profit only unfortunately half of it landed back in the casino. On Sunday 300 € and then Monday I wanted to get back the loss and have lost another 100 €, that goes there so fast because no breaks and no limits. I play compared to other people who play there 600 € in 5 minutes only with very small stakes mostly on 20 cent but this time I just exaggerated and also played on 50cent - 2€

I've also thought about strategies to stay permanently with it in + z.b that I go to the arcade and if I win I go immediately. Thought then so if I am 20 € in plus and do that every day I come to 600 € in the month but unfortunately all that does not work.

Other players should never take as a role model there comes everything together from the millionaire looking for a bit of fun to the man / woman who just destroyed years of savings

I think you are not yet addicted to gambling because on the one hand you are still able to look at the matter in a reflective way and on the other hand you still consider money as more than pure pleasure despite everything you have to be careful you are on a good way into addiction

I would also advise you to stay away from gambling and only try again when you can play with limits

At the beginning (about 2 years ago) I had also considered such strategies to stay in the plus.
This works well at first, because you feel everywhere after new registration first wins.
But what changes quickly...and dangerous, because if you are an addict like me, you can quickly lose track and the greed is not to be underestimated.

The only thing left to do is to question yourself regularly, talk to others about it, look for another hobby. Difficult, I struggle with that all the time too. But if I pull myself together, it works.

I don't know if you have done or plan to do something like therapy, but a counseling session can't hurt.
Maybe you'll find out yourself why your gambling behavior is the way it is and you can change it.

I think it's good that you are thinking about it. Very few people do.

Keep your fingers crossed for your future; don't get too crazy about this.

400 euro is nothing. I have on some evenings already 2k verballert. my highest loss so far 9k within 1 hour.
so what. Money is only fiction. I have not been angry for a long time, on the contrary
The older you get, the more you realize that chasing money is completely gaga
