It’s one of those stories where you can have a good laugh initially, but then it eventually leads you feel a bit sad about the whole thing.
So, this guy posts on Reddit saying that he woke up at 3 AM in the morning for some odd reason. Early night? He couldn’t sleep. Who knows or cares. But, instead of doing something healthy, like heading out of a quick jog, or finishing up some pending work emails, he ended up at an online casino and lost $1,000 to blackjack in minutes.
Woke up (couldn’t 😴) 3am and went to an online casino.. went on a 50 min buy in table and laid down three players spots with 50 then 100 then 200 was up for one round then just died.. 1k gone in like minutes. I hate gambling!
Well done man.
LOL. That’s how Rock Stars act.
Ah dude. You know what? Life happens. Just chew up the sorrow.
I know you’ll be heading on back to that same site for revenge betting soon. And I can only tell you, like many others did; not to. But, I’m sure you will.
This is the way of the gambler.
The thread had some interesting responses.
One of the guys asked him to go back the same casino (bad advice) and play again and again, until he recovered his losses.
Like Reddit can’t ban the stupid. At least not right now until its AI becomes self-aware.
Another man lost $270 playing blackjack and felt happy he didn’t lose as much as the OP.
By the way, JeetCity Casino; which I wrote about earlier, doesn’t have problems paying out as long as its KYC rules are complied with.
Then there was another user who lost similar amount, but on slots and told him to buck up. Keep his chin up for another day.
In the end of the thread a person laid out this:
Sorry to hear but I will say this. Some people wake up at 3 am and drink and then go for a drive. You did not hurt anyone , and can change your ways. Glass half full bro.
I guess, he is kinda right? I’d rather have people losing money on gambling than crashing cars into pedestrians 4 AM in the morning, drunk out of their ass.
The bigger part of the story is that you can’t let gambling consume you like that.
There are much healthier ways to pass the time than emptying your wallet on at online casinos.
I usually recommend my friends suffering from problem gambling to focus on exercise.
Relaxing is a good way to do that. There’s ton one can do to achieve that zen.
For example, things like muscular relaxation training exercises; any kind of sport; yoga and meditation. It can help a lot. If anything seeking out a counsellor can also be a better route.
In the end, this is your life and you’re the boss of it. Choose your activities wisely.
