☠ Gambling addiction in casinos - how to stop playing?

Romal

I started playing offline machines in 2002, as always, I made money from the first green paper chervonets - which was noticeable for a student at that time. I played rarely at first, then more and more often, there were both losses and gains, in any case, before the army - this was the most frequently visited place. After the army - offline was already banned, but having left for Moscow - I discovered that they work almost openly. So one day I went into such an establishment and oblivion and memories of those times, a feeling of skidding went. Well, the putty began - first the salary was lost, then some savings, but tilt said I had to go back and win back. The year was 2012 by the way and about 200k had already been lost, but it was necessary to somehow win back and other people's money was used. Another 300k of other people's money was lost. At that moment, I, standing on the street, all smoked out, not having slept for more than 24 hours, was simply devastated morally and physically. BUT the feeling of an excuse did not let go and the last 30k was taken from the girl with whom I lived and the last visit to this establishment in this unfortunate machine (Novomatic) game dolphins, if anyone played - knows this. And immediately on max beta, simply not hoping for anything, an excuse came - yes, I was happier probably than if I had come right away and won something. But during that night, morning and day, probably so many nerves were spent, there were bad bad thoughts, but this excuse is precisely this feeling - I don’t know what to call it - like a drug, after that it accompanied me for the rest of my life. After that there was an introduction to the online casino and an introduction to the license and the essence of the machines, but it would have been better if all of this had not happened, since the story with offline turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg, since online you didn’t even have to leave your chair to top up.
The most important thing is that it is still unclear what this feeling is that comes and turns off the brain in the putty!!!!

My story is awesome, just like everyone else's.
I got into the Admiral casino in 2015, or maybe earlier (now Columbus is a dump-emergency). I worked then, earned normal money, but I lacked adrenaline. I had a wife and child, an apartment, a dacha, a father and mother. A bunch of relatives, in general, everything is sewn up.
Let's go back to the deposit in the admiral. So I deposited something around 1500 rubles in the admiral. I thought, oh, what a lot of money - I'll never deposit again. And then I got 450 rubles in the Bananas Go Bahamas slot. And I thought that I was playing with a smaller bet, but it turns out that it was something around 22.5 rubles per line, and only 450 bet. I get a bonus with the first spin, and then 4 retriegs. My final winnings were 60-90k. Again, I don't remember the exact numbers. I WAS SURE that they wouldn't withdraw anything and would send me to hell, but in the chat they told me that they would withdraw without verification and lo and behold - in 10 minutes the money was on the card.
And then a spark flashed in my stupid head, which gave birth to this idiot. According to the best tradition, I scammed all this money back and another 30k on top. Well, fuck, it gave a large sum once?! So it will give more!!! But it didn't give a ###t! Enraged, not having loans or credit cards, I decided to take the approved Tinkoff card for 180k. I had my own money, but then I still had some ambitions for it and thought that I was in control of the situation, and I could pay back the loan if anything, but I started looking for casinos on the Internet based on reviews and then I came across the fucking JOYCASINO and saw some good bonuses + perks. The first deposit was moderate 10k and the withdrawal from it was 42k (ALTHOUGH ON MY BALANCE THERE WAS 77K, BUT FUCK THE RULES STATED THAT THE AMOUNT ABOVE 42K WILL BE CANCELLED WHEN THE BONUS IS WAYED OFF) Withdrew. I was glad that I had won back and thought that was it. Enough.
Woke up in the morning, NOTHING IS ENOUGH AND STOPPED IT ALL BACK and then the "I don't understand how it happened that I'm a moron" mode turned on and I started depositing 10-15k into casinos without text messages. Playing all sorts of crap like South Park = Aliens (by the way, the slots were awesome at that time from Netent, it's a shame they removed them) Stopped it all. Completely devastated, I couldn't forgive myself for the fuck-up and decided to take another 150k from my stash. Stopped it that same night.
In the morning I was already borrowing, microloans, etc. Somehow I partially paid it off, but then I poured it in again, then I paid it off again. At some point I completely fucked up everywhere. Microloans were strangling me like hell. Every day 2-3% on the amount. But they didn't know yet that I would send them to f#ck)))) literally soon.
Then I sold my grandmother's icon, which cost 450k rubles (AN ANTIQUE ICON THAT WAS LISTED AS BURNED IN A FIRE, BUT MY GRANDFATHER SAVED IT AND BROUGHT IT HOME) 450k was enough to pay off all the loans, debts and put back the 150k that I stole.
My wife already said that I was behaving strangely and in 2-3 weeks of eating I changed a lot. I lost weight from 85 kilos to 79....
Further, it gets worse.
I thought I wouldn't play anymore, but #fuck knows how it happened I came across Vitus-Shamil's streams.... And off we go..PF...
I ate all my free money in the Pension Fund again, microloans again, debts to friends again, loans again...
At that moment my mother also died.... As an epic idiot-gambler.... I collected money from my relatives on this basis....
AND F##KED THEM UP IN A CASINO...
Then I mortgaged my apartment with a private investor. I took 400k, but had to return 850k in two months.
In short, here's what happens next:
1) Lost my Opel Astra GT
2) I lost a 3-room apartment in the center of Moscow
3) Lost my second apartment
4) I lost it somewhere between my small profitable business and my main job
5) Fucked up my wife
6) I wasted my health and was lying with cancer....
I thought I was going to die... I thought, or rather, I told myself that I already had stage 4 cancer, I wanted to kick the bucket as soon as possible, and I also had a micro-stroke... my topic is even somewhere here, but in fact it turned out that I drove myself into this abyss and I solved the issue with a psychologist + a couple of operations on my head.
After I recovered, I went to the Ludodom project, where I became its winner. The money that I got helped me get back on my feet, although I was hoping for a contract...
Today I have:
1) At least some work
2) No debts or loans
3) Keep your head on your shoulders, I can make deposits, or I can not. I do not play anymore with the goal of making money, but losses, of course, are offensive... Although there is no casino where I can play.
4) Friends who turned away earlier.
5) Life prospects are none existent.

and I once came across one streamer, where the fuck did he come from)) I found it funny how he played, I watched for 3 months, watched and thought, what a moron, he wins and then loses everything!) I started thinking, maybe I'll get lucky if I just spin it from them!)) Well, on New Year's Eve 2017, I deposited 3k in a casino and successfully lost it, the slots just ate everything and everything!) I felt sorry for the losses, the next day I decided to win them back, again 3k and again a loss! The desire to win back became even greater!) I deposit again and oh miracle! I don't remember the slot, but it poured in, I won back well with a plus of 15k! Then I deposited a little bit from the winnings, sometimes plus, sometimes minus, and that's how I got into it)) and now I'm playing on New Year's Eve, it'll be 3 years since I've been deposited, I think 2 million! I can barely feel it and it's already a snowball from the mountain! I can't finish building the house(( Sometimes I hold out for a week and on the weekend again dep! dodep! What a f*ck!

Casino is entertainment. It is dangerous entertainment. Of course, there are situations when a casino can solve some financial problems in the short term.

But a casino cannot be, never has been, and never will be a place for giving away free money.
Casinos are created by their owners primarily to make money. Yes, casinos provide an opportunity to earn money not only for their owners, but also for affiliates, streamers, etc.

An ordinary player will never be able to earn money playing in a casino. In the long run (measured in spins, not units of time), the casino always wins due to the elementary laws of mathematics.
Don't consider the casino as a means of constant income. No system will make you rich. Any system of playing against the casino has one single goal. To make someone else rich, but at your expense.

The owner of TTR and SURF develops the idea that it is not worth playing according to systems and strategies. He prefers that players simply lose their money - joyfully and thoughtlessly have fun in the casino. "Space for 200" and to the limit, and suddenly it will pour!

Casinos have long become technological machines for pumping money out of people, so they need a clear engineering approach. CMP specialists are categorically against "mindless gambling", with swings of upstreaks and downstreaks, series of failed deposits for an increase, and other stupidities

Mostly tourists go to Vegas, not players. Especially roulette players, what's the point of playing roulette with 2 zeros, in the States almost everyone is like that. That is, the conditions for the player are 2 times worse.
We went into several gaming rooms there, the roulette tables were almost empty. True, we were there during the day, in the evening it might be different, although I doubt it. Most people play slot machines. And they also go to hotels in the form of the Eiffel Tower, Venetian canals or castles, watch all sorts of shows and singing fountains in the evenings and hang out in night clubs.
I doubt Vegas is an attractive place for professional players, at least roulette players...

The dude is from Vegas and lives there, watched Ocean's 13 and went to Craps for half an hour minus 8 grand? Probably bet on snake eyes?, and was going to spend it on a girl that evening? In the end, he spent it past the girl and in her presence... hmm, he almost lost)) and the three of them lived in Reno in a room in a house for pleasures... And who is the third one? Or is he the father of his girlfriend's child? The room in Reno is for "their own", and you can't rent it any other way, it costs 300-400 bucks a month. Therefore, he saved 7700 in about 7-8 months, which means his salary, converted to a month, is around 1800-2000 bucks... He probably persuaded her on her word of honor never to play in a casino in Las Vegas again))) It's like not eating a Big Mac and not drinking coffee and at the same time working at McDonald's!
I hope that this brave guy will keep his word... and who is this third one? The girl's friend? Maybe she gave them shelter for three hundred and the friend works there as intended))) if so, then the entire first win in the casino should be given to this friend for sheltering them at a critical moment!
