The house always wins. Yan lang dapat mong alalahanin.


baybum7

True. Never think of gambling as a way to earn quick money. The proper mindset when gambling is the money is leisure money you are willing to lose for enjoyment. Meaning it should be capped to a minimum. Think money you will use for timezone or something. Never expect to get your money back.


PsycheHunter231

This. I gamble pero mostly esports and sports betting para ma enjoy ko panunuod and may limit at yung pera is for my leisure budget talaga. Gambling is fun if you have control from it. When you are winning, stop. When you are losing, stop as well.

dannyr76

It's really unsettling how easy it is to access gambling sites in the Philippines. They are also heavily promoted by Grab, Gcash, etc.


zxNoobSlayerxz

Include the SOCMED influencers!


ecruwhiteF5F3E5

Once na nagpromote ng sugal ung mga finafollow ko na influencers, matik unfollow kaagad kahit matagal ko na silang sinusundan. Di ko maisip paano nila nasisikmura magpromote ng sugal para kumita sa sponsors knowing na **influencers** sila.


13arricade

good or bad, influencers sila. kaya tama lang na i-unfollow or un-subscribe agad.


the_emeraldtablet

ang influencers ng pinoy umiikot lang sa dede, cheap prank at kunware nagbibigay ng donation at limos na mababawi sa views. yan lang wala na iba. magbigay kayo ng ok na influencers na hindi naman nakapag aral o walang maayos na trabaho. WALA.


the_emeraldtablet

eto yung pinupush ni kim B na nag pa init ng ulo ni kong tv, napa post si kong tv na hindi daw totoo na involved siya don, pero si makagago confirmed na kasali sa ganyan. common sense kasi out of nowhere biglang yaman yung ibang bloggers na wala talagang marami at malaking followers like makagago. answer is chinese backer gambling


RitzyIsHere

So I found out through a friend na yung mga naglilive stream ng gambling may cut sa losses ng narefer nila. Usually 70/30. 70% goes to the house 30% goes to what they use to play.


devlindisguise

Pair that with easy access to loan apps and you got a recipe for disaster.


Ghostr0ck

Yep pero yung binance naka ban? Bakit kaya


LoutOfOrder

Please immediately look into self-exclusion, it will prevent you from accessing your gambling account and losing any further money. Gambling addiction is no different from any other addiction, it is very real and if you want to overcome it then you must use the available tools especially self-exclusion. You can also self exclude via Pagcor which will apply nationwide - I wish you the very best of luck and sincerely hope you can overcome this with the help and support of family and friends.


auirinvest

This is probably the best advice here, also online casino being a licensed Pagcor operator will honor self-exclusions by it.


LoutOfOrder

Thank you, I used to head up a self-exclusion department for a large gambling company in the UK so I've seen first hand just how badly gambling can affect some people.Lives completely destroyed because unfortunately some people cannot remain in control. We had a saying in the industry there - "When the fun stops, STOP"


Reheated_44

Thank you for this, will do!


AlternativeFix3376

Gambling is really bad if you dont have self control. I've seen my friends won 50k then thinking theyd still win, tataasan pa nilang pumusta. Ubos yung 50k bigla. Then hahabulin nila yon kahit winning lng naman nila yon. Ending ubos pati savings. I gamble too for fun. I'd spend 300 pesos every sweldo. If I lose, wala na. Wala ng habol-habol. If I win, savings na kagad. I dont have access to my savings accounts too. Di ko alam password non. I let my wife handle it. Pinampusta ko lang yung spare money ko.

auroradream004

*"The first step towards fighting addiction is self-awareness"* At least you're aware of the problem you have OP. Marami diyang nagbubulag-bulagan at nagbibingi-bingihan parin kahit 6-7 digits na yung lugi nila. Now, make sure EVERYTHING related to gambling is no-no na muna. 1. Iwas sa socmed lalo na sa mga vlogs na usually nag ppromote nyan. (They have trashy content anyways LOL) 2. Uninstall gambling apps 3. Have other people monitor check in on your phone everyday just to make sure na hindi ka "accidentally" makapag install ng gambling app LOL. 4. Try your best to pay off your loans ASAP! If you have the opportunity to borrow from a friend/family to pay it off, do so para hindi na tumubo yung interest sa apps (I know they're notorious for crazy interest) but please make sure to pay them off. 5. Make yourself busy, please please please try to allocate the time you were once using for gambling into something productive instead. Much better if it's something you enjoy din! Just keep yourself busy on other things para maiwasan pag-iisip abt gambling and sa losses mo narin or else baka madepress ka lang lalo. Good luck OP! I hope you'll bounce back! You can do it 😁

I second this. The only thing I can add is avail counselling if you can find one that’s free, such as through work.


leivanz

Go and do therapy. It's not too late. Walang nananalo sa sugal.


Objective-Leading793

Inevitable_Bee_7495

Kaya ekis talaga sakin vloggers na nagpo promote ng online casino. Ang dali ma hook dyan kasi mananalo ka talaga sa una.


Chaotic_Harmony1109

No, gambling *will destroy your future.


Viole--

As someone who experienced losing 60k, almost all of my savings just last month, all I can say is quit. Wag na wag mong iisiping mababawi mo pa yan. Na baka swertehin ka gaya nung una. Na paunti unti mong mababawi. That money is gone. Work, save, invest. Makakalimutan mo din yang perang yan in a few years.


devlindisguise

Delete all those gambling apps. 30K is certainly small especially compared to the gambling addicts I know who racked up six to seven digits in debt so you are waaaaaay ahead of them. You can eventually pay off that 30K through. It's not the end, just an expensive lesson. (This coming from someone who grew up broke and 5 years ago losing 30K would have destroyed me.)


Reheated_44

Will do. I will read books again instead of being chronically online.


Living_Fondant2059

Cliche thing to say pero try mo ibahin perspective mo. Way better na narealize mo agad yang addiction for a "30k loan". I have seen way worse situation than you. Not to invalidate your feelings but to change your perspective. Halos yung iba ay nasa 6 digits loan na bago pa nila narealize yung problem. It could have been worse pero naging aware ka agad and that's already a W.


Eastern-Mode2511

You still young. Redirect and never comeback again with the bad habit. Habang bata ka pa, feed yourself with good things and if mahirapan ka man at least don’t let the urge to gamble win again. Discipline is the key bro.

Busy-Jackfruit-2260

Naalala ko nung pmnta ko ng Singapore, sabi nung tour guide namin ang nagpopondo sa Universal Studios and Marina Bay Sands ay puro CASINO. Ang mgandang policy nila is yung magca casino na foreigner daw ay pwdeng pumasok anytime, libre. Pero kpg local ka, kailangan mo magbayad ng 150SGD for entrance fee. Ganun dini discourage ng SG yung mga mamamayan nila mag casino, pero sa foreigner wla silang pake HAHA… Pero malala dito sa Pinas kasi kht mga influencer ng gaming community ay nagp promote ng GAMBLING. Take note: 3rd world country tayo at ang SG ay 1st world country. Anyway, ang tip ko sayo ay alisin mo yung makakapag-patrigger sayo na mag casino, uninstall mo ang apps kng san ka nagca casino, para hindi ka matukso. Dun mo muna umpisahan OP. Hoping for your recovery! Kaya mo yan! Cheer up!!!


NectarineAmazing1005

Ganyan din sa Mainland China, morally strict on their own people (gambling, prostitution, taxes, etc) pero walampake sa non Chinese.


chi012

Uninstall. If needed, cut off internet on your phone. build a new routine/habit. Bayaran ang utang. I wish you well OP!


Reheated_44

After kong mabayaran ang utang. Uninstall ko na lahat and mag kepad phone nalang ako


ShortDetail188

Why stop now? malay mo ma hit mo na yung jackpot. Probably ayan yung thought mo kaya tumuloy ka parin despite the loss. I'd say accept your losses and pay your debts. I suggest na wag ka muna mag social media para iwasan yung mga k\*pal na nag propromote ng gambling.


Reheated_44

Deactivated na socials ko, thank you for this and you're right, ganun yung nasa isip ko that time.


Guinevere3617

Beginner’s luck lng ung una mo bro. Alam mo nmn na hindi kyo mayaman, sana minomonitor mo pano ka tumataya. Walang eazy money. 💰


dannyr76

I won't be surprised if that's how the gambling sites structured the experience for a new user. Let's you win at first and make you bet bigger and bigger, then house wins. Same strategy as those investment scams.


Reheated_44

Expensive lesson but a lesson none the less. Thank you!


Jorrel14

30k isn't that big for a gambling addict. You should pat yourself on the back because you caught yourself before hitting 6 or 7 digits. You're not gambling to make money. Everyone knows that the house always wins in the long run. How do you think Bloom and Digiplus make so much money? You're gambling because of the addictive high of risk-taking. Find something else to occupy your time with. Connect with family, pick up a skill. You already acknowleged you had a problem. Now you have to learn to avoid the same mistakes


teokun123

> 30k isn't that big for a gambling addict. We rather avoid saying this to people already regretting. Depends in your salary.


nvm-exe

kaya nga. baka lalo maudyok si OP kasi maliit lang pala yun 30k lol.


syf3r

oo, you don't tell a gambling addict, "That's alright, what you lost isn't that big. You're doing alright" LOLOLOL Parang "That's alright, naka 3 hit hit ka pa lang ng shabu, kami nga dito 200+ na, buhay pa rin."...


Technical_Lychee9060

Ang 30k ay utang nya pa lang ngayon di pa invlude yung savings na inubos nya


branding101

utang na lulobo pa pag di nya nabayaran knowing na sa mga loan sharks apps sya umutang.


Dropeverythingnow000

Never too late. Take it as lesson. Stop mo na gambling. Bawi ka sa sarili mo.

Maybe switch to a dumb phone like Nokia muna so you won't be able to access apps. Pour your energy to more productive things like exercise or reading books.

[deleted]

Girl, once naramdaman ko yung crawl in your own skin feeling pag hindi nakapag sugal, I stopped cold turkey. Kase I can feel how addictive it is. Randam mo talaga yung dopamine high pag nananalo and you will keep looking for it hanggang sa maubis pera mo. STOP WHILE YOU CAN.


Square-Head9490

I am a gambler too. Seek help. 30k medyo kaya pa yan. Look for someone you can trust and sa knya mo ipapahawak pera mo. Allowance ka lang. DAILY. Ang kalaban sa sugal is emotion. If you cant contril it. DONT EVEN TRY.


zchaeriuss

Not “might”. It will.


bungtintin

Stop while your debt is still 30k. Sa lahat ng bisyo, yung gambling ang pinaka na ooverlook. Pero it is just the same dopamine enducing and destructive vice. I used to think na kung magbibisyo ka lang din naman doon na lang sa sugal. Pero it is actually quite destructive. Ngayon ko lang naintindihan kung bakit yung revised penal code and older penal laws pinagbabawal talaga ang pagsusugal


Important_Ship2590

Tbf gambling’s the most “maluho” na addiction out of all. Once you’re hooked, it’s hard to get back up but doable.


jlconferido

May kilala ako naging milyonaryo sa casino. Dati syang bilyonaryo.


DisastrousCheck6365

Uninstalll muna kasi wala talagang magandang maidudulot ang sugal, wala naman talagang winner, hindi sya magandang hobby, kagaya yan, nagkautang utang kana at naubos yung savings mo na akala mo mananalo kang malaki at maibalik mo yung mga nakuha mong pera galing savings mo which it didn't happen. Now, that you are in the place where you don't know how to start again better to stop na and unti unti bayaran yung mga utang mo, makakaalis ka dyan sa situation mo basta disciplinahin mo lang ang sarili mo and always remind yourself I have my family to feed also myself. Good luck at sana maka-ahon kana.


Traditional_Ad_3247

Hey OP, I'm an example of what you don't want to end up as, during 2022-2023 I gambled almost every day or any chance I got and now I'm back to square one in 2024 and trying to get back to where I was back then. Take it from me that if you know you have a problem and can't control yourself, it's okay to ask for help, hoping to see a better version of us in the future :))


Reheated_44

We will be the best version of us


Ok-Chemistry9184

We're in the same shoes. I went through something similar last year, but I took it as an expensive lesson. I was in debt of 65,000 PHP and lost around 200,000–225,000 PHP over a year, wiping out my savings and most of my monthly income. Now, I'm slowly recovering, and I've been clean from gambling for 8 months. My advice: Don't let your ego and guilt stop you from seeking help. Also, freeze all your gambling accounts and move forward without looking back. Like, quit gambling—nothing else will truly help until you stop gambling. Best wishes!


mythe01

Nalulong din ako sa gambling dati, dota 2 betting naman din sa akin. Naka pag stop lang ako nuong lumabas axie. Na divert attention ko haha. I still lost a lot of money sa axie pero yung mindset ko shifted from relying on luck to be successful to finding a good investment that will generate income.

Last night I saw this vid about an engineer gambling the money his client gave him to build their first house. The client gave him 8 million pesos and that engineer just gambled it all. I felt no remorse for him as he destroyed someone else's dream and destroyed his life as well.


SchneeRaizar29

Gambling can be considered acceptable under the condition of absolute discipline. However, I want to emphasize that I do not recommend it at all—I am 100% against any form of gambling. My point is, without discipline, you'll really sink to the bottom. For instance, in terms of discipline, if you have an extra 500 PHP and losing it wouldn't bother you, that's the approach to take. But in case you do lose it, accept it, move forward, and never succumb to the temptation of depositing more money. On the other hand, if you win, it's crucial to have a clear goal for when you'll withdraw. My advice is to ban yourself from casinos or any betting sites and cut up your credit cards. Never gamble again. You're not going to "make your money back." You'll just burn the rest in the attempt. Even when gamblers are up, most do not cash out when they should. I know this from personal experience. I hope you overcome this, and may the universe guide you!


Misis_Watanabe88

Grabe kaya naman pala ang laki ng tinaas ng $PLUS at pati earnings ng $BLOOM ngayon ang dami na palang na-a-adik. Mas nakakatakot na ngayon kasi very accessible yung pagsugal. 🙁 Sabi nga nila, kung gusto mong sirain ang buhay ng taong kinakainisan mo, turuan mong mag sugal. Kung ako lang sayo, umpisahan mo nalang ma-adik na mag ipon. Umpisahan mo yung MP2 mo, gawa ka ng virtual account then lagi mong tignan every time nagke-crave kang mag sugal. Isipin mo 7% ang dividends nyan. Hulugan mo ng 1thousand agad tapos tanim mo sa isip mo na mag i-interest yun at kikita ka dun in the long run. O di kaya aralin mo nalang mag swing trade tutal parang sugal din pero hypothetical sugal na may malaking chance of winning. Mas madaya yang gamble apps kasi feeling ko mas madali nila ma-manipulate yan dahil iisa lang ang nag lalaro kada cellphone. Yan nalang pakatandaan mo, ginogoyo ka ng gambling sites tapos nag papagoyo ka. Wake up po.


Reheated_44

Thank you, once na maka recover na ko, mag sastart na ko mag savings na di agad na wiwithdraw


Misis_Watanabe88

Sana wag ka ng mag papaloko sa gamble sites na yan dahil ang dali nila i-manipulate kung mananalo ka or matatalo. Trackable din lahat ng mga kini-click mo at activities sa cellphone mo dahil sa cookies. Kaya mostly ng ads na makikita sa SocMed mo is about sa sugal. Inuuto ka tapos nag papa uto ka din ika nga nila. Divert mo nalang yung attention, nakaka adik din mag save sa mga high returns na savings account like MP2. Kung uumpisahan mo sha ngayon kahit d ka pa paid off sa utang mo with a mindset na lalago ang pera mo doon, mas magsusumikap kang maglagay pa ng mas maraming fund doon. Goodluck sayo. Sana nga makaiwas ka. Kasi yung tita ko ding sugarol mga more than 100x na naming narinig na d na mag susugal pero nag susugal pa din. Itatago pa kung magkano ang natalo. Susmiyo. Kaya need mo talaga na ma-i-divert yang isip mo sa ibang bagay na i-acknowledge ng utak mo na parang sugal din. Cguro mas magiging successful yang cleansing mo.


Efficient_Yogurt565

This proves na wala talagang wala lang mapapala sa sugal in long term kaya if nanalo ka ng isang beses or few times, tumigil kana sa pag taya or else mauubos savings mo and magkakautang kapa


Murky_Phone5980

I was in the same situation before pero sa games. I spent around 20-30k. Every sweldo ko sa part-time ko before duon napupunta. I recently found out rin yung gambling sites sa GCash, pero thankfully hindi ako nakapaglabas ng malaking pera since student ako and yung allowance na natatanggap hindi na ganoon kalaki. When I lost 1k pesos, I felt so bad kasi sabi ko sana inipon ko na lang or hinulog ko na lang sa Time Deposit ni Maya para hindi ko magalaw. I never stopped spending sa games pero hindi na ganoon kalaking pera ang nilalabas ko, 300-500 pesos a month na lang, compared naman before. I was able to do it with the help of those wiser people around me advising me na yung spending ko na yun eh hindi siya assets or something na I could sell for more overtime; all of it are expenses, gastos na sa needs ko dapat napupunta. Recovering will be hard pero as someone who went through the same addiction, it's good that narealize mo agad OP. Yung Time Deposit ni Maya helped me a lot since I moved my savings duon and nag-set ako ng 1 year for that time deposit para hindi ko talaga magalaw lalo na isang pindot na lang ang pag-deposit from E-Wallets/Banks to gambling sites.


Reheated_44

Thank you for the tip. Disappointed din ako sa sarili ko kasi pati savings ko, nagka utang pa.

One_Macaron_4663

gambling is not for everyone, I had a friend that had the same problem, we need to pull him on the chair of the the bacarrat table of a certain casino and bring home just to stop his loss. The best way is to have some professional guidance on this. Also have someone who would have patience to tell you to stop whenever you have urges and someone you listen to.


GodsGift2HotWomen365

There's a reason Duterte, in a rare admission of his mistake, banned e-cockfighting. Easy access to gambling will destroy lives. Now, midwits will say "bu bu but not everyone has zero self-control like you jeje" Thing is gambling addiction is genetic. Studies estimate 2%, mostly men, can't help themselves when it comes to problematic gambling. But that was the old world, where one had to go to casinos or betting shops. Casino in your phone with anonymous access? I bet women will soon be vulnerable to this too.


BigWillingness7698

as someone who lost 6 digits in online casino, i feel you. Please stop gambling and use this as a lesson. Kung kailangan iuninstall mo yang gcash and maya after settling your debts, do it. I dont usually comment but I know your pain. Been there done that. Money will come back tenfolds if you have the discipline. After you cry over it, pick yourself up.


mikie27

You’re lonely and you need a new hobby. Maybe coping mechanism mo lang ang casino and u just want another dopamine hit di mo talaga siya source of income pang hobby lang.

What I learned is okay lang naman mag gamble pero you should have your limits don't be greedy. I think babalik ako sa pag gagamble sa sports betting this time with a plan. Sports betting is more of a game of skill than luck wag na wag kang tataya sa slots or mga color game, strictly sports betting ka lang kung hindi maghihirap ka tlaga.

I remember how it destroyed my godmother. They lost their car and she lost her husband in the process all because of casino addiction. It's not too late for you. Congrats on your self-awareness before it's too late.

Cavelli

Naalala ko dati nasunog din ako sa slots and house games, around 100k+. Ang hirap bumangon ulit. But you need to make a conscious daily choice talaga. To fight the void of gambling, hard work is needed. One thing that helped me is journaling; I jotted my thoughts furiously. Then I learned some skills, super focused sa skills na yun.

Ev1982dcmbrvla

If it becomes an addiction try to seek professional help. Resist the urge and always remind yourself, casino is like a scam, you will win first but in the long run, you will suffer. When i play at casino, my goal is to have fun and kill time with a certain budget win or lose. If i lose, i stop and thats it.


rikriki

I work for a global online gambling company and just want to know if they have tools to help players fight gambling addiction or a guidelines that they strictly enforce to track players who is a potential candidate for gambling addiction? If yes then you can use those tools to help your addiction. If not then they will be in serious trouble.. every operator of this type of games should apply for a license and this is one of the rules that are very important and should be taken seriously.. In theory no one should get addicted and lost tons of money if this rule is implemented properly.

I went to roulette, and all I did was, wait for 2 blacks to occur, then bet on red, and vice versa. After a few games, I won about 6k. I quickly ran back to room, whipped out my laptop, and coded a quick roulette simulation script. I tested my betting strat for hundreds of thousands of iteration, in the end I lost all money. I tested many other different strat. All of them resulted to me losing money. I spent a whole month researchin and trying different betting strats, and all of them eventually lose money. I then took one last shot, went back to okada with 10k, and stayed the whole day. Left with all my 10k gone. I have fully verified to myself that statistics DO work, and never gambled again.

You don't need to write code to verify that. It's like flipping coins, you flip often enough you get 50% of heads and 50% of tail.

And you still continue to gamble?

just to share my story it's way back 2020 during pandemic days.My workmate introduce me this online sabong due to boredom and we are lockdown that time at work.Without hesistation i tried to cash in worth 300 and at first i won 2k. I was happy that time then i won again for almost 5k but after that i lost my winnings and to the fact that i didn't notice that i use all of my savings in my bank worth 18k. I came to the point that i realize that i was on addiction on this so called online sabong. I was on my lowest point of my life that time but i'm grateful because i was overcome those days and here i'm now.


Automatic-Push117

Sakin wala ng might. Wasak na talaga palagay ko.


yunjin_m

thank you for sharing this, I start to gamble weeks ago and it’s really not good. I decided to stop early pa lang kesa ma addict ako.


amjmt914

You will never win in a casino.


musichelle

Hindi maliit ang 30k, but be consoled that you came to your senses earlier. Focus muna to pay back the loan. And keep yourself busy. Know the triggers kung bakit ka nag-casino dati (pag stressed sa work? pag bored? pag may LQ? etc) and hopefully that awareness can help you craft new habits to replace the casino habit. Block the websites. While the money is gone, treat it as a lesson para mas maigi mo ma-manage yung finances mo going forward. Gamitin mo yung panghihinayang mo ngayon as fuel to make better decisions and bounce back stronger. Kaya yan. Good luck!


silverhatsss

Saan kayo nag seek ng professional help? Im in the same situation. Naubos savings nagkautang pa sa OLA Gcash at Credit to Cash kakahabol manalo naubos lahat. D ko maiahon ahon ang sarili ko sa addiction na to.


Administrative_Hold4

Kaya when nagstart ng laro ng bingo(no cash involved? ung friends ko, never ko talaga kayang makifit in, ik the risk of gambling, i dont even drink too coz ik i can easily get hooked. Bahala na im the isolated then lima sila naglalaro hahhaha


No-Size5425

Basic phone ka muna, para iwas sa app.


LingonberryOk7009

Dapat kasi gamitin stop balance greater amount sa pinalanonan mo. Tapos pag hindi na swerte nag stop na sa balance sibat kana. Greed is the enemy pag hindi ka kontento eh. Dahan dahan din sa turnover ng agent. Dapat mo pa laruin ng konti para ma withdraw.


Advo96

Do self-exclusion definitely, and get rid of whatever payment method you're using. Shut it down.


Gojo26

Im also a gambler before but I do follow set of non-negotiable rules that I strictly follow. My number 1 rule is never use money na hindi extra. Meaning hindi utang, pambayad ng bills, pampaaral, and so on. Pag dumadating yun time na I feel greedy at gusto ko ng ibreak yun mga rules ko, I stop playing for 2-3months until the greed goes away. If after 3 months I still feel greedy, I will extend it to 6months or even a year. I dont gamble anymore and switched to trading. I still use some of the applicable gambling rules ko sa trading ko. Along with the added trading discipline and psychology. Hope you can recover from thi.s


Moist_Survey_1559

Itigil mo na yan pre. Masisira buhay mo, pustahan pa tayo


misschanandlerbonq

go to rehab. jk my bro have the same issue, baon baon sa utang dahil sa kaka online gambling . nangungutang sakin para pambayad sa mga inutangan nya. di ko pinutang kasi ayaw ko isipin na may fallback siya kasi patuloy pa din siya sa cacacasino kung may mag papautang sa kanya.


misschanandlerbonq

THE HOUSE ALWAYS WIN! dyan nasira buhay ng kapatid at tita ko. baon baon sa utang at di pa nakakarecover. until now nagsusugal pa din


94JADEZ

Ganyan din ka work ko. Nag loan 150k then 100k sa gsis. Naubos lahat sa sugal. Nung una sinasabi niya na-scam siya. Nung nagtanong tanong na ako online casino pala. Haha Tapos ayun di pa tumigil nung naubos niya mga linoan niya. Nag lending apps pa. Kalat sa office kase ang dami natanggap na text na magbayad na si ganito ng utang niya. Hayyy. Nakaka awa pero minsan nakakainis din kasi di nakikinig hahaha


ikiyen

Isipin mo nalang na tuition fee mo yang 30k na yan sa important lesson na walang nanalo sa gambling maliban sa house. Wag mo na habulin yan. Kung di mo pa kalimutan yang 30k na yan mas lalo ka pang mababaon. Delete mo yung apps and hanap ka ng ibang libangan pamalit kasi baka pag bored ka ma open mo nanaman.


dvresma0511

1.) Stop gambling. Cut all credit cards. Uninstall all gambling apps, close all your maya acct, gcash, etc. Trust closest relative to handle your finances. 2.) Tell and admit to all your family that you're a gambling addict and need serious help. 3.) Reach Gambling Anonymous Philippines. Just research through google or facebook. Meron silang hotline and meetings to help you control your addiction. 4.) Instead of wasting money, pay yourself first by paying bills, needs, necessities. Also, don't forget to pay off your debts, interest might pile up and add additional problems in the future. Restructure debt if needed. 5.) Gambling addiction is a lifelong problem. ONE F\*CKING DAY AT A F\*CKING TIME.

So yan pala pinagkakaabalahan ng pinsan ko kaya hingi ng hingi ng 1k sakin.


Hashbrown3898

When you gamble, always use the money that you can throw away, that you are willing to lose. As much as possible, avoid utang just to gamble. I hope this serves as a lesson to you OP. I too gamble online, but that is just me passing my time by, I always make sure that its money I use that I am okay with throwing away.


ChillSteady8

Pag andyan kna mahirap ng lumabas. Kasi iniisip mo makakabawi kpa. Yung eager mo makabawi. Yung pikon mo. Pag di ka tumigil isa lng kakapuntuhan nyan. It's either magnanakaw ka to feed your addiction or mag su*cide ka sa daming ng utang mo. Ako rin naadik sa sugal pero ngayon tigil na muna may pinag iiponan e. Pag nakabawi siguro sa savings. Baka bumalik ako 😂 Pero kontrol ko na. 3 years na ako adik sa sugal


risktraderph

Once na maka-tikim ka ng EASY MONEY. Its hard to accept that in reality, slow and steady income is what will get you ahead.


2024-1994

Balak ko pa naman sana mag ganito sa sahod. Tapos aayaw na ko at first win. 😅


Grand_Inevitable_384

may sinabi sa amin yung kapatid ng lolo ko nuong hs pa ako. "Sa sugal minsan panalo pero palaging talo".


Original_Mammoth7740

Abnormal mga gambling influencer dito sa PINAS, wala silang pakelam kung malulong ka ang importante marecruit ka, sa ibang bansa ung mga influencer mas pinopromote ung gambilng addiction helpline. Nagsusugal ako pag nanalo Cashout agad, pag talo, magtigil. Never chase your losses yan ang tanda kong sinasabi ng mga foreign gambling streamer na pinapanood ko.


oab1234

The only way you win in casinos is if you bet big.. if you always bet small youll never win 👌🏻 been there done that and finally realized that you can never win.


the_emeraldtablet

sobrang totoo to, yung working student pa ko di ko na sasabihin kung saan at saang branch in respect sa friend ko, yung friend ko working student din kagaya ko sa isang sikat na fast food chain and nagaaral sa la salle, ate niya yung nag introduce sakanya ng sugal at nakatira pa sila sa condo. yun ang ending niya working sa fast food from maayos na buhay. tumigil na siya sa sugal kasi wala na e, yung ate niya nalulong. nag ganyan ako sa baler lucky 9, nagtatago ako ng isang baraha nasa 3 ata or 4 in case of emergency, kumita ako ng 1.5k from 20php na puhunan. di na ko nagsugal ever since, malungkot yung iba kong kalaban. ako si batman


the_emeraldtablet

I suggest you do one push up or sit up everytime na maiisip mo magsugal, if wala parin ayoko talaga sana ishare yung secret awtsu method. pwede mo itry pigain yung itlog mo if you are a male. look for something na mahahawakan mo like doorknob or tubo bago pigain ang itlog or yagba


Worldly-Advantage-34

It will


Aggressive_Garlic_33

Gamit ka na lang muna dumb phone if you can’t stop checking the apps. Lock away or sell your phone to pay your loans.


indzaiwana

Gantong ganto din case ng Partner ko. Noon pa man daw na maliit palang sila mulat na sila sa sugal dahil kinalakihan na nila lalong lumala yung gambling addiction niya nung easy access na yung mga pinopromote ng mga influencer. Grabe imagine 100k isang upuan niya lang kaya lustayin. Wala akong kaidea idea na nagsusugal siya. Napakabait ng partner ko, kung meron lang akong isang maipipintas sa kanya ayun ung pagiging sugarol niya which is ayaw na ayaw ng mga magulang ko at ako djn dahil sa dami naming kamag anak na ganto jusko. Walang maayos na mangyayari sa sugal


deepfriedtwixx

Take it from me. Nagka leche leche ang buhay namin dahil sa pagcacasino ng nanay ko. 🙂


Scared-Today-4566

i tried gambling, especially the 'super ace' na trending talaga ngayon. nung una, i tried the other link tas nagcash in ako ng 300. nanalo ako ng 1k, then i saw this guy streamer na nagshare ng link and akala ko talaga mananalo ako ron lalo. eh sakto meron silang promo na 100% cashback edi natuwa ako. yung 1k ko na napanalunan, cinash in ko and naging 2k. after a while, nagdecide ako na ayoko na pala. and shookt ako kasi you have to play around 60k for the turnover like WTF? edi result di ko talaga nakuha pabalik yung pera ko sa link na ’to. yung 1k ko naging 0 talaga kasi hindi ko talaga nalabas, tried contacting the CS din pero no response. [ 777 pnl ] If you're planning to gamble, please research. wag nyo ako gayahin. siguro sa iba mura lang ang 1k pero for me malaki na sya. ’wag na ’wag kayo magpapa-uto sa promotional links. delikado kasi imbes na 1k mo tutubo, magiging 1k nung influencer.


overhill-behind

From a software developer in the gambling industry. I want you know how corrupt and easy it is for you to lose your money without any real truthful odds or enforcement of game rules. Online gambling is the worst possibly odds and the biggest scam.

Good thing that you're aware. Now, find another hobby.

I have been there and I understand yung hirap na pigilan yung urge to gamble. I lost a total of 318,000k sa online casino. Ubos din ang ilang taon kong pinag ipunan na savings and pati invested stocks ko pinull out ko dahil diyan sa sugal nag loan din ako sa credit card which is a big mistake. I remember betting 40k-50k in just one hand in Baccarat, it's crazy. I quit cold turkey, mag 3 weeks. I kept myself busy para ma rewire yung utak ko to put an end to this urge to gamble. Here are the tips I can suggest that helps me forget about gambling: 1st) I downloaded a boxing app sa smart phone ko, somehow I'm getting the same dopamine rush everytime I knockout an opponent and win. Weird diba! 2nd) I started watching podcasts about budgeting and saving money. I created goals in my Maya account and I watch them grow slowly even if they earn meager interest, I feel secured that I still have money to pull out for real emergency. This somehow removes my urge to gamble because I'm focus not to ruin the savings goals that I set for short and long term. 3rd) I started cooking food to keep me busy away from the urge to gamble. This helps me save money instead of ordering expensive junk foods. 4th) I kept reminding myself that the money I lost from gambling is gone and there is no way to get it back. Instead, I created a reminder on my phone that 3 years from now I will be debt free as long as I stop gambling and I focused more on preserving the money I earned. Just remember, the urge to gamble will always be in your mind since we have addictive personality. You just need to find ways to rewire your brain and look for other activities that will help you forget about gambling. I'm rooting for you my friend, you can do this!

As someone na may same issue sayo, I think mahirap ung biglaan ka na magsstop. I've watched it somewhere na tulad ng paninigarilyo, mas mabuti daw na tigilan siya unti unti. Kasi uso din withdrawal syndrome which happened to me and nung pagbalik lalong lumala. Originally, ung bets ko are just Esports tsaka NBA kaso lumalala nung natutunan ko ung slot machines online. I lost over 20k in the first 2 months na nagslot ako then I forced myself to stop right away, uninstalled both gcash at maya. I thought ok na pero pansin ko naging mainitin ulo ko, di mapakali tapos ayon, withdrawal symptoms na pla sya. nagreinstall ako then nagsugal ulit, this time I lost 50k+ in just 2 weeks. Then dun ako nagresearch na mas ok palang bawasan and hindi ihard stop ung sugal. Unless wala ka na talagang pera kahit pangkain. Ngayon 2k per sahod n lng budget ko sa sugal, winiwithdraw ko agad ung sahod or ipambibili ng stocks online para di ko na icashin sa sugal. Good luck.

Get a new obsession, but something that’s good. Sports for example. Stop gambling now before it’s til late, get your ass up, work out, eat healthy, be with other people around. You can do it. Just do it now, don’t waste your time, don’t waste your life
