[squiggle]

You yourself must have to heart to change in order to really make things happen, if not you ask who for help/go IMH also useless...

Tell yourself that you cannot make a living/becoming rich from gambling. When you get yourself into debts/borrowing from ah long, you will drag innocent parties like your family and friends into it, not just yourself.

Get someone to control your bank and your spending.

We already spend so much money from buying 4d and toto to singapore pools. Why we must be so stupid and continue to dump even more money for them to earn from us?

We all know that gambling habit cannot be blame to the person, we all want fast and quick money to become rich. Lose also want to win the money back and win want to win even more. Hence we will be trap into this debt cycle from gambling.

Hi man, I can relate to you.
I have loss all my life savings due to MBS.

The trick is to associate yourself with healthy lifestyle, environment which includes friends, and activities to pull you away from the negatives.
Good luck to you.

The only winner from gambling industry is the big boss himself... He can make as many chips as he want and U have to use real money notes to exchange for his chips as betting . So who is the winner?? Dun need to be smart to guess it right ... 小赌ok . But never chase for Ur losing.

So, what are the differences between Gambling and Punting Stock/Shares?

[racerboy]

Hi TS,

how old are you now?

I used to be like u when I was younger. gamble a lot. last time even borrow ezy cash to continue gamble. lose until no money pay, ask my friend help use his credit card borrow money and I pay him every month.

but I stopped after I grew bored of it.. maybe because I am older, thus wiser, but most of the time is I pay my debts until I very sian... so I stop betting. I am tired of my pay check every month goes to pay 1st week of losing soccer bets. left 3 weeks eat shit.. till the next pay check..

u very similar to me.. last time I also bought a PS3, thinking of diverting my attention away from gambling. but doesn't work. lolz...

The thrill of winning lure u bk to gambling again & again?? Normally the debt u owe are cleared by ur family & friends? Next time, ask them dun help u. Get yourself an exclusion order from entering the casino, dun use PC anymore to prevent online gambling, dun enter into spore pool, dun watch the result of 4d, toto, big sweep, dun sitting in a coffee shop watching soccer match with friends, stop keep in touch with those gambling friends.......

Hi bro, you shouldn't be punting stock/shares. You should apply technical analysis or fundamental analysis.

Change yr mindset....i also gamble but limit myself by buying endowment saving plan..that way not only u can earn interest over time but also discipline yourself to overcome the gambling... because every month u have to deposit some amount in the saving plan to save up...think of it that saving plan = gamble...but everytime u deposit the amount= losing in gamble... simple logic to change yr mindset....if u got 100k i suggest u put in long term plan

[Johnbass]

Mai anyhow bet...
Bet with yourself first...

Me too also has the same problem n to be honest, till date im still betting... however i had changed my betting habit abit abit... I believe u r betting on credit tats y u burned your hands? I stopped betting on credits.. i bet mainly with sgpools or cash upfront websites... this makes me bet smaller amt n lesser bets cos i will c my $$ out 1st n makes me heartpain but i can still hv some betting kick.. hehe..

Not everyone is the same as me, however i felt better this way.. every mth i will only set aside an amt for betting.. lose finish liao den rest for the mth.. Rem, playing on credits will get burned easily.. I still wish u can successfully stop betting entirely.. gd6 bro!

[fallen69angel]

Just dropped in to share experience.

I was hooked not on casino, but contra trading. Definitely addictive when I managed to earn 150k on a 30k initial limit, in 2 months. I thought I am God of Shares man..

When market crashed, I lost 150K (turnaround 300k)

Lost mood, lost mind.. Then took a break, re-charge, think about life. Borrowed from all sources, last burst, clearing debt slowly. But still, what's meant to be yours will be yours.

Don't greedy, manage risk, play what you can afford. Like me, I'm losing on MMs, market forces, you lose on lower probability against bankers.

Be disciplined. My humble 2cents.

bro, that's quite sad if you ask me, that need to buy such insurance plan to prevent oneself from gambling cos such endowment plan pays interest but you can get back your money way way much later...

just my two cents worth....gamble with what one can afford ...simple...

agree bro, look at USD , raise hike but effect isnt immiediate like the past. so song, interest up just dump and dump the other pair/.

in casino we look for lucky heng face and follow , they bet what i just follow exactly , invest in them. there are also quads who use card counting , card edging and being banned from casino. there are also alot of device that can manipulate the result of a casino game but you buey tahan one time get caught. once caught you will be dealth from the white collars and the black collars.


in investment, we keep looking for breakouts . big big news , like 24HR standby ty buy/sell button. daily traders are for morons .

one day they the UN will bomb the hell outta ISIS after making use of them to remove asaad then turkey will kpkb.

EURO is being sucked into the spiral hole, cannot get out . currency so weak yet inflation target moving like tortise.

Haha, well said, bro. Totally agreed with you.

Honestly speaking, after witnessing and experienced so many financial meltdowns, my personal view, yup, just my personal humble view is that there are no differences between Gambling and Speculating/Punting of shares.

This is one way of saving money :)

[fire2014]

been through and really not easy. most gamblers will chase and hope they win one time big to settle all. hardly happens. I lost so much and hopefully I learnt my lessons. I failed many many times. due to greed, woman etc.

gone through a lot of debt repayment and to date still paying. the temptation will still be there but got some ways to suggest.

1. close all betting account with Singapore pools and bookie
2. ban yourself from local casino.
3. pass most of your money to a woman to jaga. (mother, sister, wife, girlfriend) keep them busy also. (leave some spare for your self too )
4. spent time with gf or wife more (make love and stay away from gambling) she happy, you happy, your pocket also happy.
5. tell yourself, you will indulge in overseas casino once in a while (so that you know you can control even when you go- must bring gf or wife along, then you won't bet too much.) the last few time I go gambling with gf, win cuz win liao they will wanna go. unless your gf or wife is gambling queen then worse.
6. I also believe that money from casino should be spent on gf or wife. more heng. cuz they happy, you get to fuck more then you also happy. haha. won a few k with just few hundred capital to buy some jewellery for my gf. feels good. she will ask me why I so lucky can always win. actually she is an impt factor.
7. my friend tried playing online gambling game. similar kick but much lesser money involved.
8. if really will gamble, friend working as dealer told me that black jack is one of the best game to win as long as you are happy to win a bit. he does that, take 20k in, if can win 500 in few min, he will leave. according to him so far so gd. but problem is how to control.

all the best in this new year to all bros. huat ah.

Haha, 150K in 3months, 500% profit, my Remiser was like.. :o

[fallen69angel]

I like that phrase: God of Shares...

For a noob to earn 150K in 3 months, that's pretty amazing. Until correction came..

[ben xing]

Shall share my experiences with all brothers. If got time i shall go into each individual games

Casino games are designed to have zero percent to lose to gamblers.

Soccer matches results are fixed and follow a script whereby the script writer was far too brilliant in mind setting.

[sky_liner2]

Never step into Casino, once tried it is hard to stop very self-undisclipine.

Full agree on Blackjack and Baccarat.

I won few hundred but was greedy and tried to push my luck.
My luck ran away and then I lost a few K.

FML...

But I still like going to casino for the thrill.
However self-control is very important.

I think it's good to bring a fixed amount of money, and then if you really lose that money, just go home and relax.
Don't bother go to ATM to try to "chase" back, but you will end up losing even more.
Just live to fight another day.

How much is the membership now?

Any bro have the same problem but able to stop... pls advice..

I did not have exactly the same problem. Actually a long time ago I did, that time I overcame it by hitting rock bottom. Which is how most people break free of these sort of troubles unfortunately.

But fortunately for us all, there is a god and it need not happen that way for everyone.

Scratch the god part. Then think carefully, it probably won't take just an hour of thinking, you gotta feel it.

It's absurdly easy to think why we shouldn't smoke/gamble/etc, I'm not sure why people dispense rubbish advice on how to think one's way out of these problems. Think a smoker doesn't know it's unhealthy, gonna kill them and cost them a ton of money over a lifetime? Of course the smoker bloody knows, almost certainly much better than the non-smoker.

You say you have been gambling for years, and it has not not brought you happiness. You know it loses you a lot of money, and that there's no way you are ever going to win it back.

Have you considered the idea that this is a part of your life that has run its course, and it's time to take it in a new direction? It's time for a change in your life, one that no longer involves this old aspect of it.

There are many new things to try in life, and maybe it's time to give up some of the old in order to move in that direction.

There's much to look forward to in life, and you may find the the change that comes from abandoning the old to be quite pleasant. So don't be afraid of change, that's what binds us to old habits, often bad ones.

I have no idea if this will work for you, but it did for me when I thought about making wholesale changes to my life and dropping a whole adult lifetime of bad habits.

Especially the smoking. I had been smoking my entire adult life, and I gave it up. It didn't happen that one day I threw away my last packet and never picked up another.

I had been thinking about it for a while, and I kept on throwing away my 'last' pack. I threw a way a ton of 'last' packs and 'last' lighters, but I never ever said 'oh fuck, I can't do this'. I just said 'I'll try again'. Until one day it really was the last pack.

Think of it as making a decision to make a change to your whole life, an attempt to create one that makes you feel better. That removes a lot of the suffering from not engaging in the said activity, because it's way too easy to give in and return to the old ways if you feel you're suffering.

Human beings hate to suffer after all, and will almost always take the easy way to avoid it.

Good luck.

[Pastor]

[Wins88]

Gambling is a serious problem which I feel all should stop.

a) Casino - think about it, why would someone invest over a billion dollars to build a lovely Casino - just for u to go take their money? - It is a losing proposition for anyone who steps in. Probably the only way to win is to bring in more money than the Casino has to maybe stand a chance of walking away in the plus column. Think about that.

b) Soccer betting - no one can beat the pro's who handicap these matches for the bookies. Your favorite top team may lose to the bottom team cos it's simple - the ball is round and the bookies hire professional handicappers to make the odds. - Its not some Uncle sitting on a coffeeshop who thinks up how many balls to give or take.

Many love the thrill of winning or especially the thrill to be able to "fight back" from a loss position - its not a thrill worth blowing away your life savings for.

All the nest to all the bros in 2016 and please please dont gamble. Perhaps limit yourself to small Toto punts - at least $1 can maybe buy you $1mil!

[StrangeThings]

Good advice to heed.

Bro

I went through a terrible period last year both emotionally and financially. Read up on the "Buddha 4 noble truth" on how we strive for happiness and then not ready to face up to the reality or "suffering".

Once i understand the cause and effect, I find it very enlightening and it a good way to get my life back to the right path. Nothing religious about it.
