Inside the brain of a gambling addict - BBC News

- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- What happens inside the brain of a gambling addict when they make a bet - and can the secret to their addiction be found within the brain itself? BBC Panorama filmed a unique experiment designed to find out. Wendy Bendel's partner killed himself after struggling with a 20-year gambling addiction. In a confession he wrote for Wendy he singled out the high-stakes, high-frequency fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) found in bookmakers across the UK. These machines offer gamblers a choice of games, and combine potentially high stakes with the chance of a win every 20 seconds.
Join Wendy on tonight's Panorama, as she seeks to find out why these machines can be so addictive, and are so controversial.
Panorama - Why are Gambling Machines Addictive? is broadcast on BBC One on Monday 12 September at 20:30.

Gambling is one of those strange games where the only winning move is not to play
Or to get out as soon as you won

"Responsible gambling". Tell that to the thousands of addicts who are suicidal because they can't stop, who can't step out of that vicious circle even if they can't pay their bills.
By their calculations there are only 50 problem gamblers out of every 10000 gamblers, I find it hard to believe, they don't even realise what a problem gambler is, I used to deposit large sum of money into online accounts and lost it all and never once did they contact me to ask if I had a problem
In that case those people aren't responsibly gambling. Sorry you can't wrap something that simple around your head, dummy. :)
Oh my this is how my friend is. When she loses a lot she feels suicidal.
She needs help. Gambling ruined my dads life, in the end it contributed to his death as he lost that much he resorted to theft, he drank, he smoked and he did it more and more as he lost that much he could never repair the damage he had caused he ended up with nothing and lived a lie for a long time. The signs were there but we never spotted them. I am so angry about it all really but I cant change the past, I am talking at least 500k lost via his addiction, even when it came out he continued to live his lie. I watched him pass away this year and in a way I was glad that his soul may find some peace. Gambling consumed him. It must be one of the worst addictions to live with but a gambler lives two lives and can hide it.
I’ve lost 3.5k $$$ and I’m 15, I have a problem, I’m Suicidal because of how much that I’ve lost from stealing from my parents and older sister. I’m suicidal because I don’t want to have to face my family when they find out, and I don’t know what to do for help, do I be honest or try and hide it, I just wish I didn’t hav this problem and I could just be gone. I know what I’m doing is bad but I can’t stop myself. I NEED HELP BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
The number one gambling addiction fact that you should know is that gambling is NOT just a financial problem. Some problem gamblers do not have financial issues even though they may lose money gambling. Gambling is an emotional issue where a person feels the need to gamble to alleviate stress or because they feel a certain type of euphoria when they gamble. Gambling is an obsession that can take over your life if you let it go too far, this can lead to the loss of relationships, jobs, and, yes, finances, but the issue behind compulsive gambling is not financial, it is emotional.
and your own life!!!

Obey the hypnotoad.
Best post yet. I have slight problem with gambling my time away. Last vacation I spent about 25 hours of my trip gambling. I won about $50 total, which is peanuts. Not worth my time. I overdid it. Wasted prime hours I could have been enjoying the sites.
Yes. Even if you don´t lose significant amount of money, you lose time. You can never get time back. Compulsive gambling is exactly that, compulsive. You don´t even want to do it, you want to stop but you just can´t.
as an addict i can confirm that winning and the anticipation of winning is indeed very similar
True. Iam also now 15 years addicted and always if i enter a casino iam so happy. Or before a football match i have played is starting i am sooo exited soooooo weired i cant stop iam very very screwd hitt rockbottom for the 10000000time
@@ewadrerrie4747 how are you doing now?
@@ewadrerrie4747 same here 😔 What’s the longest you’ve gone without gambling since you’ve been in this addiction? For me the longest is 10 days, but when I do end up breaking that streak.. I lose enough to make up for the 10 days I didn’t go. Then I’m back the next day to try to win back my losings, only to lose more. Because even if I do win and am up, I won’t leave till it’s all gone. It’s a viscous cycle.
@@teeeff8337 me the same bro give me your numer we will talk about it. My longest was 3 weeks because i went to a place without a gamble place but as soon i got back to the big city the first thing i did was gambel
Right bro
gamblers gamble to gamble , not to win money to keep .
so so so very true
powellsmp2378 agreed. i gamble every week but its always within a budget. its entertainment. i do feel for those that play without limits.
I gamble the lottery. I know the odds are against me but just for a dollar I could potentially make millions (Which I might not be able to save even working my whole life).
Icyboy771z. but can't you see that thats exactly how they want you to think? - its not about you winning or losing, its about you continuously investing your time and money in it. They sell the fake illusion of you being rich and wealthy is somehow going to make you truly happy and satisfied with yourself. but the sad fact is most people that win the lottery end up wasting it all instead, start to take drugs, or in many cases even committing suicide. there is no winning in this. just you paying for false hope or total destruction.

The worst feeling is when you’re out of money walking to your car realizing that you know you fucked up and think about all the other things you could’ve bought/done and still knowing deep down you’ll be back. Or you’ll have a good amount of money on you in a store and you choose not to spend it on things that you like because you’d rather gamble.
I quit gambling but I remember one day having 2k on me in a store and deciding not to spend 500-600$ on new nice stuff for my house because in my head “I didn’t have the money” but when I went to the casino that night I gambled away all of it without a second thought till I saw my wallet was empty and I walked out the doors.
I feel the same.. €5K in gambling feels like dust, yet buying nice clothing or book a nice holiday feels to expensive.. The mind of a gambling addict works in strange ways.. I am working on it right now so I can move away from this everlasting depressive way of living.
Same happened to me.

As the daughter of a professional poker player, I can tell you that gambling addictions are so serious and incredibly difficult to work on. Especially in a game like poker where the person can be completely convinced bc of their skill level they are winning more than they lose. My dad has been absent most of my life bc he’s been stuck at a poker table, having more than $3mil in reported tournament wins yet he’s homeless today and he can’t seem to build himself back up bc he’s pouring all of his money into the casino. There was never any sort of stability during my childhood it was one day the power is shut off and the next day he’s buying a brand new Porsche. It’s incredibly dysfunctional
Wow!! Hope all is okay now!
Crazy

I gamble Because of rush I get out of it, You just have to divert your interest and need to find new Things in life, I have lost $35,000 till now due to my Black Jack and Poker addiction! Starting from now I m quiting gambling, Wish me luck.

Ive not gambled for almost 3 years now. Its so easy! Seriously
I get fuming mad when I think about casinos. I have not excluded myself from anything. I even receive texts on my phone which I just read and delete. I have taken gambling for what it is and realized it is just running against a wall in every aspect of it. The clue is too see gambling for what it really is my friend. Are you still absent? :)

george peters same, I hate my stupid decision making... I know I’ll lose it all yet I gamble it anyways at the slots in Casino
I cured (yes cured) my gambling addiction by replacing it with another and much cheaper addiction, video games. I bought a PlayStation One and after several months of constant playing I started to taper off and my desire to gamble was gone. It's been almost 25 years and I haven't gambled since and have zero interest to do so again.

I have spent 15 intese years in the gambling circles of various forms of gambling, and i never met one gambler who has won money but kept them after winning or spent them on something else other then gambling.
They have to win the money to pay bills, even though they had it. Just missed, just missed, just missed. Bored yet? Gamblers aren’t.
Machines hypnotise stupid people, thats what they are designed to do, by very clever mathematicians. Indirect taxing on people who had money they did not earn really. Thats why they give it up. Ponsi scheme though. These fools are a dying breed. Sport betting is the future. They know this. Gaming much? Sucker? Bet on a dog, better chance of winning.

Gambling leads to one path, and one path only. Destruction. Even if you win a jackpot of several millions all is going back. The addiction gets stronger then. People won jackpots and ended up on the streets.

aw that's too bad, you're really missing out on the joy of being a compulsive gambler.
Somehow adverts of tobacco and alcohol are banned for many years now. The same should happen with gambling, and there should be more regulations on opening new casinos and bookies, as these addiction is probably more destructive and it hits vulnerable people...
xirilla the first thing that came up on utube here was the poker machine add. Ironic.
Gambling ads are for some reason permitted, with personalities participating in them. They think it is OK to do it if they just mention "responsible gambling" or refer to a gambling addiction help website , all written with very small letters at the end of the ad, so they can excuse themselves in case people get addicted.
alcohol adverts should not be banned because alcohol is culture and fun. But tobacco and gambling absolutely, yes
Only a few countries have banned alcohol advertising to the same extent as tobacco. But a lot more have starting regulating it. I'm personally indifferent to alcohol ads (beer companies have been so prominent in sports, festivals etc. that I've long been desensitized to it) but I can understand why others like recovering alcoholics would take issue. Gambling ads just anger me though, I had so many on RUclips I had to turn them off on Google. I don't ever remember them being so common until the last couple of years.
but addicts have not stopped drinking and smoking.
I work with a gambling addict at my job who says he won $1,200 after only putting $20 in recently. This same person always tells me how he always loses a ton of money gambling. Does the $1,200 he won outweigh the thousands of dollars he has lost over the years? I don't think so.
If you have no money left, you've lost. Game over.
Gambling destroy life... I was addicted to gambling.. I was making 1500$ a week n in the end of the week I was asking debt from my friends
It doesn't, it also makes lives. I thank the people with no roll managment skills, or knowledge to the games because then i get to take their money when they sit at my holdem table! So to each his own but forreal dont blame the games, blame the person with out control!
Geez, your parents did a swell job of raising you with little/no morals
Asphalt Ricky I guess u are right
Mohammad Khilji praying for you. Whatever the strong hold is, may it return from where it came. If the pay off is not in the millions, it's not worth it. If it takes a million to win a million, it's not worth it. If it's just enough money to pay for a meal for your family, it's not worth it so save it!!!
uruguayan bob that's kind of the point though mate, some people can not control that side of things. It's easy to say "just have more self control" but for some it's not that straightforward.
I have a pretty bad gambling problem, I'm not looking for sympathy of any kind because I believe in personal responsibility. But I can tell you that in just over a year since my problem got out of control, I do not feel like the same person I was before.
how to beat the casinos
enjoy the free drinks, the pubs, social atmosphere, nice restaurants and shops. dont gamble
You simply just learn how to card count and beat the casino
@@YZ450f24 If you're talking about blackjack, then, as a croupier, I can tell you that learning how to count cards is pathetically easy. It's essentially 4th grade maths. The hardest part is memorizing basic strategy and rules of deviation from it.
I know this. Part of card counting is keeping track of everyone else's cards as well and you want to always card count at a full table. Never solo
you can gamble like 50 dollars, but make sure thats your limit no matter what
@@YZ450f24 You'll just get kicked out of the casino LOL
I started gambling at age 21. I'm now 47 and have been gambling since all those years. I have made lots of money with good jobs and worked crappy jobs as well. I came down to a conclusion money ain't everything but the fun of gambling is and don't care how much money I make, just as long I can make money and still gamble. At 47 years old I'm negative in life from gambling. Never have hit a big jackpot neither.
For all those that are thinking of starting I totally recommend please DON'T start. It's a shi.tty dark side world.

I canceled my account which is an amazing feature that blocks you from ever creating an account again. However I decided to create another account to try and get back those 40€. I was up 20€ and became like -50€ and did 2 stupid bets out of impatience but at least it payed and I got +5€ in that session. I know -35€ balance in total i pretty good but I just think every day about getting it back but I know that if I get it back I'll want to win the original 160€ I won and I'll forever be stuck here. I don't even have money issues at all but 35€ is 35€
Underrated addiction. I've lost millions with an "s" over a 20+ year span.
Don't be me, don't gamble, winning is the worst thing that can happen for some people that's the start to the addiction.

Amen brother
After half a year of gambling, i can say that most of gambling is about not taking responsibility for your financial problems and trying to test your luck (which will lead to further attempts to test your luck until you run out of luck ofcourse). I genuinly made some big wins, but i've lost those wins as well. It messes with your brain, last week i was gambling and the longer i kept playing the more reckless my bets became. I had essentially doubled my starting amount, but i was like "oh highest score hasn't been reached since yesterday" so i kept playing and guess what i lost it all. Afterwards i was obviously like "i should have just cashed out". This is one of many examples why you shouldn't gamble, it isn't worth it unless you plan on losing the money and just having a good time with your mates. Gambling will leave you with regrets, thats the only guarantee from Gambling.
Aww
I lost my dad because of gambling. He's addicted to it. He chose gambling over us, his family. He died alone with his addictions. Growing up without a dad is one of the most painful wounds in my life. I pray everyday that people addicted to gambling will somehow choose change for the sake of goodness before its too late.
i am reading this comment as a father, and literally crying, because i am a gambling addict and having son of 10yrs, and also in huge debts, nobody is here to help me to come out from this debts trap, want to quit gambling, may God bless me....pray for me......

bro you got it too lol😂
I’m a casino dealer in AC, there is such a thing as responsible gambling for all you people claiming there isn’t. Gamble for fun not to win, if you win then that’s a nice bonus, stay strict to your losing limit but also stay strict to your winning limit so you don’t give it back. I see plenty of people gamble responsibly and I see plenty of people bet my entire paycheck on a blackjack hand and that scream at ME when they lose. That’s addiction and that’s unhealthy. Alcohol ruins lives, not when you drink it responsibly however.
It took me losing over 250k to realize I had an issue. And being at the bottom now I have no choice but to stop. This addiction has stopped me from being able to build a life, I’ve been unable to maintain relationships, and become reclusive or resulted to lying in instances where I have to explain my financial situation. I’m not proud of this at all, but it takes accepting that I have an issue to even begin to start rebuilding my life.
Jesus christ bro.. You can always restart bro nothing is infinite. Just realize the manipulation of your emotions that there's casinos have on you.
@@blob3106 for sure. It wasn’t even casinos for me, it was mostly day trading. I made and then lost a ton of money almost as fast as I made it. Just excited to continue to rebuild, knowing that nothing lost was permanent
I.m glad the first 3-4 times I gambled I lost every time. That nipped that shit in the bud for me.
Right??? I’ve always said if I would have hit my first time, I’d be hooked cause I’ve had terrible addiction issues. Lots of drugs, lots of rehab and very little clean time
I will never understand it... I just wish my friend can get the help that he needs because it's ruining his life completely.
I’m a gambling addict. Pay day was 5 days ago. Mortgage, council tax, water, gas and electric bills came out. Got mobile and car insurance yet to come out this month. Gives me enough money for food for the month and money for whatever else. However that money for whatever else I’ve already lost to roulette online today.... I don’t even like gambling but I do it almost every month because I tell myself I can win money back. I’m really selfish and stupid and I genuinely don’t like who I am anymore.
I'm stupid too, can't stop going to casino " I lost my soul...
That money was stolen from you by fake illusions and sponsored by the government. Don't ne so hard on yourself. Let IT go, but you're not greedy , it's the casinos that are greedy. Making billions and driving people into homelesness. Stop blaming yourself for wanting some of your money back! I gave casinos 150 k through my life, when I needed a 6 k win to get myself out of serious trouble, do you think they put out? Gave me 4% of what I had given them?? Nooo! So stop the blame about greed and never give money to these wretched legalized monsters.
I just got back from a 4 night stay in Vegas and I was amazed at how many people in the casinos just pour hundreds and hundreds of dollars into the machines.. The most ive ever gambled was $100 and i completely hated it because I lost my money. That being said I can’t put even $1.00 into those machines and watch it take it away from me, I grab a beer and just walk around and see how people just play and that’s enough for me.. If you don’t need to gamble, don’t ever do it because it just might be the worst decision of your life.
Many people say gambling addiction isn't real. Honestly my gambling addiction has ruined a lot of things for me. It even ruined me at one point in time. I can't discipline myself because I do win but I stay until it's all gone.
That’s my problem

@@julee5071 I’ve been trying to stop for years, but it never lasts.
Bloody hell just say no
Three years ago, when I was a student, I rent a room and lived alone. I started to play game out of sheer boredom and I promptly addicted to it. I had tried in vain to quit it for almost one year until I found support from my family. Though game, I think, is much easier to quit than gambling, I partialy understand how addicts feel. And I think that to quit something like games, alcohol, gambling, etc we definitely need help from others( family, friends, partners, doctor and psychologist). It's nearly impossible to do it by yourself. We need a supportive community because this is a hard challenge, a very long journey to go. Hope you can find your right support and successfully overcome this.

It’s a big big problem in UK gambling addiction we need to make gambling illegal that’s my say before it destroys lots of people thank you
i think that will be as easy as getting ciggarets banned xD
@@timlarsson3634 So then it has to be done step by step. Slowly raise taxes on casinos and restrict the amount of casinos and other things. Cigarettes should have been phased out years ago.
Yeah right make them illegal so the organized crime can step in and keep the industry alive same for cigarettes
@@Georginho-io2ng Why don't we phase it out? I'm pointing to my first reply.
@@aaanawaleh Because organized crime will always be there to take over the business whether its phased out or banned all at once. You cant just make something illegal and expect the problem to disappear. Fuck it, let the neurotics shitheads gamble away their fortunes. Only the strong survive
roulette, blackjack , poker is nothing compared to level of gambling addiction of a slot machine
you have 2 options: gamble and lose family, hope, life, everything or don't gamble and be succesfull and enjoy life. Simple.
for real
It really isn't that simple. If life was that simple there would be no such thing as addictions.
The biggest risk is that you have a losing strategy when you think you have a winning strategy.
I concur. Playing games like texas holdem is less about luck and more about knowing the game
True, there's no strategy that can beat casino's mathemathical advantage.
That's how it started for me bitten by the bug fast and all because I was winning the club lucky door prize continuesly turning the prize $5

Currently going thru bad addiction, can't stop playing lost my rent, lost everything just to chase that win... I need serious help
I've been gambling since i was 17 and I'm 23 now nearly 24 it's the worst thing ever, last night i lost £680 ....the thing i feel numb about everything now
My first jackpot was whilst I was sat in a pushchair. The game was called Winspin. My brother got me to press gamble from 4p all the way to £1.50p. I spent all my youth in arcades and on piers. When I started getting my own money, it would go in fruit machines. I hit my rock bottom and did the gambler's anonymous thing. After that I learned one thing and it's the only lesson I can give to managing gambling. If you are addicted to it, give someone else the charge of your money. Don't even give yourself the opportunity to handle it yourself. You will always talk yourself into spending some. I gamble responsibly now by being ashamed. I give my money to my wife and once a month I say "Can I have £20 for some slots?" and she gives it to me. If I handled my own money, I wouldn't have a wife.
Forgive yourself and move on. Do not gamble in the future and you'll be fine. Never look back unless you plan on going there.
man I am gambling more than 29 years and lost over 1.5 m euros and I don't think of quitting
Zheton Keton good luck f you are depending on luck
@John Elite Tennis is best :)
I'm losing my life to this addiction. I have been hoping for the big win since I was 13 years old. (I played scratch tickets then) I had a chance at 100,000 but I didn't place the side bet. I think I have been chasing that possibility for 8 years now and it hurts because I have wasted so much life in this place. Yet I can't seem to drop it, I always lie to myself and I end up back there doing what I have always been doing. I have asked for support from my family but they don't offer me the support I need. I try to us sheer will power but yet I slip up. I try to use logic but I end up telling myself lies. It has been the single most worse thing I have been doing in this life of mine. I am a hard core addict and if I don't rid myself of this now I will be alone. I will lose everything! I am such a fool for believing the lie that I will some day make it out if I just hit that big jackpot. I feel so sick. If I don't quit now I will be in hell!
Fuck it, I am done with this place. I am done with the deception. I just had to let this shit out somewhere. Give me hope my fellow brothers and sisters because it's now or never.

Nothing worse than gambling addiction some people dont understand it
Lord, this is worst than I've ever imagined, its not about the possibility of winning, its about being there in that moment as the bet happens, and the fact that winning doesn't affect him all that much makes it worst.
The only way I was able to stop my gambling dis-ease was to create dopamine in my mind.I did that by thinking about the most exciting times and my life.I think about those exciting times whenever I get the urge.Just keep fighting.
I’m a serious gambler , watching this roulette wheel in this video I can feel soemthing move in my brain. Weird .. I need support 😢
What happpens
Gambling just for a rush isn't enough...money always beats the rush for me personally.
Came here after watching “Kakegurui” on Netflix 😅
SA! SAA! SAA!!! KAKEGURUI MASHO!!!
😂same
Gambling makes me happy and hurts me at the same time, its crazy.
I find gambling absolutely boring and wasteful. I've worked in a casino for 6 years and I've never had the urge to gamble. I'm 100% convinced that it's not gambling itself that is addicting, it's a personality trait that makes it a problem. Perspective is a hell of a thing.
I also work in a casino having had no prior experience in the sector, professionally or recreationally, its a real eye opener
Guys can you tell me a fact..Online casinos do cheat people? Do they put the numbers against us.
I have a problem with gambling, the solution is to reduce how often and to not gamble, with any addiction winding off it in steps can help more then jumping. You never win, its not even the winning that feels good, its the chase.
@@vijaymishra1008
There’s probably some that do cheat people, no way to know for sure. Some hire RUclipsrs and Twitch streamers without saying they’re hired, then they up their odds tremendously to make winning looking easy and common.
XQc is a Twitch streamer who gets paid $1mil per month to gamble (with a gambling budget in addition to the $1mil per month I believe). He gets paid $1mil per month, so they are making more than that off of him, or else they wouldn’t pay that much.
Also, if you are winning too much, in real casinos, they kick you out. Would not be surprised if that happens in online gambling as well. The house always wins, even if they have to kick some gamblers out to do it. One guy literally won a bunch of money, but they refused to give him the money and kicked him out as he was at the thing to cash out bc he’s known to be really good at gambling.
@@user-sf9gs2pg1b your last sentence sounds highly illegal if he already won the money. He should contest that he’d win even more
I lost my whole bank (3.5k) in 30 minutes on the roulette wheel, kept doubling up every time I lost
That’s yikes!
Same but with blackjack, lost about 5k in 10 minutes. It happened to me several times. I think my net loss is about 30k... and the overall loss is more than 150k. I am kind of desperate.
@@mfadijber4351I also lost 80k bro now I am thinking to quit
“95% of people gamble responsibly” bullshit not true
The only way to stop gambling is to prevent any access to money, it should be controlled by someone else, not by you - once you're blocked from any means of gambling then you can start to slowly regain control ... also depositing money in fixed savings account that cannot be reopened until maturity date is also an option to put money away from you.
GamblingStories.com that's ridiculous-like a child- so who is going to hold your money for you? you can't do that anyway-even if you wanted to-this reminds me of my uncle who was always broke because he smoked crack-
You are correct. The other guy who commented has probably never even been to a GA meeting and if he did, he never listened.
Los at the casino is better then lose to the person I trust the most
I trust the casino with my money more then my family

I would advise everyone to abstain from betting and gambling.
Ahh the good ol’ reverse atm. I’ll stick to my coffee addiction.
The amount of gambling adverts no wonder everyone’s hooked.
They push even more adverts advertised as be gamble aware and only gamble what you have.
Who still gambling until now ???
I believe that it's mainly a way of coping with childhood trauma, such as physical and sexual abuse, which is the case with EVERY SINGLE PERSON I've known in regard to gambling issues!
I've found that alcohol and other drug issues are often factors as well and it's totally understandable that people want to numb their pain and block out memories in whatever way is possible. 🙁
I'd rather channel this energy ,to something more positive ,and which the stakes are in my favor.
If you need assistance knowing more about the stock market , with the help of an expert. It could be made easier .

I'm a CSA survivor, and I'm very much as an addict.
It can be any type of an addiction, not just the heavy ones like alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, substance abuse. You can also be addicted to binge eating, binge watching tv/series, or be non stop scrolling reels on your phone...
Well, the thing is that the gambling industry blames the person for getting addicted (so they say gamble responsibly and yata yata). But the real truth is that they design these machines according to human psychology to make it as addictive as possibly. They bombard us with commercials and false promises and then blame the addict for getting addicted when they have made something that is addictive.
Ive been gambleing for over 6 years... And i habe never been addicted... I might put £10 doen online once a week or go casino with £50 etc but i cash out my wins and play low stakes.
I won 2 grand at a casino 1 year ago and ive been back about 4 times with £50 and lost but one of the 4 times i left with £150 so im well up and dont feel the need to go back any time soon
Freddie T not everyone is the same. Addictive personality is the issue
you are right on the spot.They created those machines to keep you playing until you have nothing left to play with. they create problem gamblers with the illusion that you can win. that s terrible. they should put more restrictions.
People are responsible for their own decisions.
I searched for this and as an advertisement I had a casino game
I want to see what the brain looks like when you get two bonus symbols, you're waiting for the third, and you finally get it.
Dopamine
And then the bonus pays you 2x KEKW
Hahaha
Or when you sit down at a new machine and intentionally don’t read the rules to avoid subjecting yourself to that feeling of knowing you missed a bonus/random event, and win a jackpot
I'm struggling with gambling addiction at the moment I seriously need to get out of it.
No one can help you except yourself. Thats the true nature of it. The day will come if you want it.

Just think that if you continue you will not only lose money but everything good you have in your life. A family member of mine lost every thing he had, his market, his restaurant, his car and every good relationship he had, his family is destroyed especially his parents and his wife, he also has two kids and they always keep asking where’s daddy’s car and other things, that’s the worst thing you could do to your family and yourself, I guess what’s left for him to do is suicide and he has mentioned that a lot. Ok this is a long text but this is what happened to him. I hope this doesn’t happen to you and just remember that YOU ARE MAKING RICH SOME PEOPLE WITHOUT THEM GIVING YOU anything in return, so basically you are burning money you could spend for yourself or your family. Anyway, I hope you quitted

In fact, all you have to do is look away and maintain your emotions. I often win at the casino. You have to be emotionless and not get greedy
Human beings cannot be emotionless
That would explain why I dont look when it is spinning. Also one win and i leave. Over £250k down in lifetime
At a casino, the game with the odds best in your favor is blackjack @ 49% and the casino still has a 2% advantage over you.
Does anyone mention that gambling is a huge source for taxable income for the government?
Can anyone explain the reason 18% of adverts on TV are for gambling, yet no ads for drinking or smoking
Gambling is just as, if not more addictive than doing drugs. I know of several people having big issues with gambling, and if you get hooked, lives will get destroyed.
I'm super angry at my dad right now. He had won about 10k just 5 days ago, and he promised to stop because he had reached his goal. But then today he just lost all 10k! I don't know if it's my fault, I told him to die this morning before he went to the casino and lost the 10k. I was extremely angry at him for very small thing because I have serious anxiety plus depression. I wonder if I had made him so angry that he lost his mind... My dad just asked his friend to borrow 250 dollars to gamble again, but his friend said that he doesn't have much money. Btw, my dad went to the casino again just moments ago...
I have the same problem like your dad, I read your comment, made me cry" to sad...
Gambling is a horrible addiction.
i got an gambling ad on this vid...
There’s a saying “A Bored mind makes you do devil, Stupid things.”
gambling has to be seen as a form of entertainment and budgeted for. i feel for those who play without limits. happy new year everyone.
Gambling is just losing confidence, losing mental stability, financial pressure increase and many more. People who are getting addicted to it ...must come out of this by leaving the RECOVERY mentality. Then only one can step towards progress

There is no such responsible gambling. The two words (responsibility & gambling) contradict each other. So this is hypocrisy
