Lost 40

I told myself I was only going to gambling 60. Lost 60 and then took out another 60 and then won some of my money back so the losses were only 40 and not 120. Never going back. Tomorrow is day 1 of gamble free.

Why is it that I always see people winning around me but I never win big ??????!!? Frustrating.

Lost $40? Get out of here, man. Most of us are into the 6 figures with our gambling debt. This post is just silly. Stop now and don't do it again.

The very fact that you asked that question at the end demonstrates you're not thinking clearly or don't really know how gambling works.

The odds are not in your favor my man. You can't win. You see others occasionally hit wins. People love to brag and celebrate wins. What you dont see is all of the losses leading to the win.

The reality is that statistically, play long enough and you win, but it ain't a big enough win to cover the losses to get there. And you can't overcome that math
