Hello dear Sythe community, am I the only one having a gambling problem? Let me tell you my story. I started with $5k in sports betting here and there. Everything was going well; I managed to build it up to $50k and I was very happy! That's when I decided to bet a maximum of $10k per day and withdraw any surplus at the end of each day. So if I ended with $17k, I withdrew $7k and started again the next day with $10k! I did this for a week, day after day profit, and I reached $350k. I felt like a god, invincible! I treated friends to dinners, we were 3 but I ordered for 6 people, jokingly saying "boys, this one's on me!" I gave a $300 tip to the server. I was already thinking of buying a new car around $150k, a Rolex, etc. I was completely disconnected!
Until one day... I lost $10k and refused to end the day in the negative. So I countered with a $50k bet... lost. Then $100k, lost... until there was nothing left. It happened so quickly... Today, if I had left that money in a wallet, it would be worth $650k... Ethereum had risen a lot. So I tried to recover my losses with my bank money... without success. I took out high-interest loans to play with... a serious mistake that should never be made! But gambling makes you crazy, and I did it. Lost, lost, lost. I didn't even have money for groceries, my credit card was maxed out, etc. So I had to tell my parents... they weren't proud, especially since this had happened to me twice before! I lost my girlfriend because of this. Last week, I relapsed again; I sold my car to pay off one of the credit cards. And now today, I'm back at it, maxing out my credit card and burning through all my money. It all started because of an offer I was trying to complete on a task site, which made me want to bet and eventually lose everything.
This addiction will always be with me, I'll always be walking on a tightrope. For now, my parents don't know, but soon they'll find out when they see my bank account. In the meantime, I'll do what I can to distract myself: biking, running, and hitting the gym. Thanks for reading, I just needed to get this out. To anyone else struggling with the same problem, please share your tips. Thank you.
