Hello, how do I personally deal with gambling and why do I call myself an ex-gambling addict if I still gamble?
There are in my eyes many types of gamblers, I know
- Gamblers who do it for fun (most of them are 10 - 50 cent gamblers)
- Gamblers who hope to make a profit, but don't overdo it
- Gamblers who hope to make a profit but also Risk a lot
- Gamblers who ruin their lives and invest every cent in their addiction
Unfortunately, I once belonged to the fourth group, but that was years ago.
How do I combine gambling and private life?
I have for years monthly me always the fixed sum of 400 € planned.
If I gamble this, nothing more is paid for the month, comes from it a profit, I decide depending on the amount of profit whether I continue to play with the money or not.
Should a profit come, I invest only a maximum of 25% again, after deducting my invest 400€.
These 400€ do not hurt me and I am not looking for big profits. If I have a balance of 1000 - 2000€, I usually pay out.
Last year I had only a minus balance of just under 1000€.
I would be interested to know which group you belong to and if you know any other gambling groups.

Sports betting gambler and Poker gambler.
With money management by odds and math.
As for casino, I was the 0.10 EUR - 0.20 EUR gambler, so your category 1.
Last year I had a budget of 100,00 EUR for slots. And it just wasn't fun anymore, every EUR went down the drain without any fun. That's why I don't want to play slots anymore, so I don't have a budget.
It sounds like you're doing a good job of setting yourself fixed numbers. That's half the battle - discipline is the other half.

Imagine you would put aside the 400 € every month ?
What that results in a year.
And that x10 years x20 years ....?
That would be a real pile of money and you could treat yourself to a really nice retirement.
But then the employees or bosses of the casinos do that.
They laugh at you when you give them 400 € every month
ever thought about it?

Sure the same could be said about people who party and consume alcohol, smoke cigarettes, own a car etc.
Everyone has his hobbies and gambling is not always necessarily associated with "loss", so it is also called gambling and my balance is not equal to 12 x 400 € in the month away. Sure in the minus I go anyway.
And I would not take so much for gambling, if I would not have it available without that I would have to give up other things like saving, life etc..

So I have to give Tonkabohne right
You can not compare gambling in front of the PC with other hobbies that are related to fun, socializing, friendship,
Health or personal
Successes score.
If my hobby is playing football, for example, I pay my small membership fee, do something for my health, get to know a lot of people
Health, get to know a lot of people. Possibly also good friendships, assistance with personal projects
and and and
And even boozing with fun and friends brings me more, like looking at a screen. And even if it would cost me
would cost me 400€, I have experiences, deepening of friendships, fun. What do you have when you gamble?
How can you talk up gaming, or even compare it to "normal" hobbies?
I think that if it has come so far that you argue so, it is already far to late.
I do not talk nicely, but please be so kind and stop with the moral apostle talk.
The thread I did not open to get suggestions for improving my life but to get me as the name says it, experiences like other people gambling and deal with it.
Is not meant badly but I do not need something like that.
This is a gambling forum and everyone should look at their own nose
I belonged to the 3rd category. I had a part-time job (FYI, I'm a student) that only paid a few hundred euros and I couldn't make ends meet. Thanks to the pandemic, good student jobs were/are rare as a max win in OC. With gambling I therefore hoped to find a compensation, so that I could at least still "live", which is why I risked a lot for my financial situation at that time (up to the complete salary). But that was not my beginning with gambling. I started with sports betting and 100€ became almost 2.000€. Well, I gambled this sum away in the end. Anyway, now I have a well-paid student job that I can do from home and the desire to gamble (especially with a lot of risk) is still there a little bit, but not as strong as before

These are suggestions for improvement for gambling, you shape your life anyway as you want it
I have over 30 years experience gambling, so what do you want to know?
How to get more and more into it, or know how others deal with it, which brings you zero.
You are not the others
How I deal with it?
Gamble away tens of thousands, and get angry.

Exactly in the direction it went me earlier unfortunately also, in the time of the education with the gambling started, education salary not really enough and the money in sports betting and Spielos invested, thought me always if I 50% here and 50% there invest, what will already come.
But I'm glad for you that you are out of the financial problems and wish you all the best.

Did you sign up for the forum just to vent frustration and pick on people?
I may be wrong, but that's what your posts look like.
