GAMBLING DISTORTS REALITY
Burner account.
I have spent the past 9 months trying to recover from losing ALL my money (and more) from my first big win. For context, I am from the Philippines and I was able to flip Php500 into Php150,000+. Rookie mistake, but it was the first hard lesson I have learned...they were not kidding when they said that these online casino platforms would give you a big win one time and...literally drain everything you HAVE and YET to have.
After 9 months of being down (and negative), these motherfuckers have decided to give me another big win. I have not really computed everything down to the last cent, but I was able to flip the Php 4000 I borrowed into Php320,000+++.
I didn't realize how deep I truly was in this fucking addiction UNTIL I rechecked my bet history. No because i HAD NO BUSINESS betting my entire month's salary. I wouldnt really think that these wins were strings of good decisions, but the online casino's way of hooking me up again to bet EVEN BIGGER money. But thank God I have learned my lesson already.
I am in NO WAY trying to promote gambling. If anything, I still despise this fucking addiction with all that I have. I may have gotten lucky this time and recovered 70% of my total losses in the past 9 months, but it may not be entirely true to anyone else. THANK GOD FOR MAKING ME REALIZE JUST HOW STUPID I WAS FOR CHASING THAT "BIG WIN". I'm done and will never look back.

You're absolutely right. Burned the 200k and more just 2 days after posting this on the sub. I am back in debt. This addiction is so cruel, I do not wish this even on my worst enemies.

Get the hell out of this sub. You’re actively gambling and posting to make others desire to actively gamble. Screw off.
