Gambling addiction in general: My 3 months experience

Hello people,

I discovered gambling 3 months ago through a buddy who gambled in Online Casinos
At first I wasn't very fascinated by it because I thought what could be interesting about 5 reels.
A short time later I went with my friends the first time on the way to a casino
The first time it went very well and I won with 50€ bet 130€ at Eye of Horus, so a win of 80€.
Thereupon I have now to this day about 30€ daily in very many different online casinos put.
The casino was history for me due to permanent losses after that (loss 300€).
Every evening came the feeling, come try again 20-30€ maybe you win something.
This was followed by many phases in which I won, but lost this money again very quickly the next times.
I kept a record of every win and loss and entered them in an Excel list to keep track.
There was a phase in which I had arrived at -400 €, but these luckily with 20 € bet in an online casino have won again.
All in all, I have now "managed" 3 months to play every day with 20-30€ and am now at exactly +-0€.
Since I have noticed that I have not won a single cent with a total stake of 2,400 €, but only got my money back, I will now stop gambling, because it bores me solangsam really and financially brings nothing. The chances to win are simply much lower than to lose... (In the course of time I also noticed how my stakes went up from 10 cents to 20.40 cents)

What are your experiences?
Can you call it good if you are back to +-0 after 3 months of online casinos?

Thanks for your comments

Quitting is definitely the best decision you can make

I also started small 8 years ago on 10-20 cents every now and then with a few euros. At some point, a few euros became 10-20-30, and so on. Up to the absolute total loss

You notice it yourself that in only within 3 months your stakes increase. This would also not stop. Also your stakes increase with time

It is like a devil's spiral. Sure, some people can do this as a hobby and stick to loss and Deposit limits etc. but don't Risk it. But don't risk it.

Once you are in, it is really hard to get out. Be happy that you could bring your losses to +- 0 and find yourself rather with it

As soon as you win a really big amount, it starts to go downhill for almost everyone

Wish you all the best in this regard

I see it like Hammerdammer. Even if I can say after 1 year that I am in the plus, there are many cases where it went quite differently. Therefore, you have made the right decision. Spend the money on something nicer

Correct decision purely statically you lose in the long run anyway more than you win. That you have your stake again after 3 months of playing is good.

Hello gamer441,

it's good that you have registered with us and that you control your gambling behavior.
It is indeed good that you have your stake out again, you get rich with gambling only in the rarest cases.
There are, of course, million-dollar jackpots, but it's not that easy to hit them...

Of course it would be wrong to recommend you to continue playing, but nevertheless I find Online Casinos more exciting than lotto or other stupid state gambling offers, such as Scratch cards
I have also gambled away a lot of money in recent years, but I still enjoy it because I at least know the limits to some extent and can control myself so that I don't put myself or others in danger.

Among other things, the challenge is what makes the game fun.

I can only advise everyone to draw a line. It only costs you unnecessary time, nerves and of course money. Gaming fun is quickly gone when you lose big or the game becomes an addiction. I also see people professionally who have lost millions and they all started small. And the hope for a big win is unrealistic, statistically very few people experience that and nothing is more frustrating than chasing a mirage your whole life.
But everyone is free to decide for themselves.
Good luck

Great. Actually wanted to stop it but tried again every day until today. The result -300€. I mean that is compared to others here certainly a very small amount but must now stop. New year has already started

These Vorsäze are almost always forn ass anyway. If you want to stop, then it must click in your head and something like that usually does not happen planned.
