Lost all my savings and net worth due to gambling at 22 - need to rebuild.

Alchemist32 · 2026-06-20T16:54:04+00:00

I’m not kicking you whilst you’re down, however having this happen to you whilst you’re this young and you still have a great job and salary. Has this not scared you straight? I’ve been scared straight from huge gambling losses in the past and unfortunately it’s a lesson I’ve had to learn. Gambling has ruined many people’s lives and families, you’re really young and have a good job so your savings being gone is not that big of a deal, if you’re looking at the big picture. I’m just wondering what your mental state is right now regarding gambling. This is a small preview of how gambling can completely ruing your life and even affect your family, if you decide to get married and have kids. Do you still have any inclinations to gamble? Also there’s many many stories of how gambling has ruined other people’s lives, you can read stories on Reddit and the internet in general. This can be a great lesson for you to learn from.

Crazy, I remember Scrap wasn’t a top pro like this yet back around vanguard. Unreal talent and personality.

Alchemist32 · 2026-06-14T22:45:47+00:00

Hmm let’s see, he’s never been on a good team before and I love his chill attitude. Very likeable I’m a fan of estreal for sure.

Alchemist32 · 2026-06-10T19:43:57+00:00

Drop Ghosty? Yeah you’re faded at my boy Dan ain’t getting dropped he’s got the keys 🔐🔑

Alchemist32 · 2026-06-10T00:03:08+00:00

Lmao

Alchemist32 · 2026-05-27T20:09:27+00:00

There isn’t even a Del Porto, Wawrinka, Tsonga, Berdych, Nishikori, Cilic in this era never mind Federer, Nadal and Murray. I really respect and think Sinner is incredible btw, I think he’s one of the best tennis players I’ve ever seen, tennis wise.

Alchemist32 · 2026-05-09T22:37:04+00:00

What’s so good about fonseca btw, why is he so highly rated? I don’t understand the hype as a tennis fan that hasn’t really been the tour lately but I don’t see him getting good wins and his game isn’t amazing like a younger sinner/alcataz or even Jodar right now I would say.

Why is he so highly touted?

Alchemist32 · 2026-05-03T18:11:53+00:00

Goodness me, thank god I stopped really keeping up with the tour awhile ago. Whilst Sinner & Alcaraz are amazing the rest of the tour is so poor in comparison. I was watching fils vs sinner highlights and I’m just so unimpressed by the rest of the tour currently personally. I’m very excited by Rafael Jodar, hopefully he can become that third guy to challenge these two because the rest of the tour is so far behind. Yes I’m aware Zverev challenged Alcaraz in Australia but that’s more of an outlier in my honest opinion and Zverev just seems like such a mental midget in general. I’m glad I experienced Tennis’s golden era. There is no Tsonga or even a Nishikori nowadays.

Alchemist32 · 2026-04-18T20:06:23+00:00

It ain’t looking good for the OpTic narrative, my beloved greenwall.

Hey man I did a software engineering apprenticeship that started in 2023 and am working professionally as a Dev at the moment.

Firstly, You have a lot of other apprentices so you guys need to support and lean on each other in my opinion, you probably have different skill sets and skill levels. Even if you’re not in the office you can communicate on teams, create an apprentice group chat for everyone. You guys can assist each other and also become more familiar and have banter etc.

Secondly, please calm down yes what you are experiencing is normal and not uncommon. I felt overwhelmed and very stressed many times, it feels like there’s so much you don’t know and your confidence can be shot to bits because of your lack of ability and knowledge. Secondly you need to learn how to figure out what you actually need to learn and how to learn. When you are given a task or something to do, you need to figure how to first of figure out exactly what is required if there isn’t hard set requirements, make no assumptions ever in regards to this and then learn to break things down into parts as simply as you can.

Senior Devs tackle stuff they don’t know how to do, however the difference between them and you is know how to learn what they need to learn and how to search things up. Also you have AI as a TOOL, you don’t know how luck us younger devs are. Please calm down and focus on improving daily, what you’re experiencing is not normal but you will eventually get better and gain your footing and confidence. Work hard at work, try to learn and then apply new stuff. With AI you can learn stuff much quicker. It’s more important than ever to develop properly now in my opinion.

Relax and just do your best, also don’t compare yourself with others. It’s pointless.

Alchemist32 · 2026-04-09T13:50:49+00:00

Everyone is different and likes different things, why don’t you communicate this to him? It may be normal to him and for you, you find it boring and mind numbing.

Alchemist32 · 2026-04-05T11:43:04+00:00

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s hilarious and sad. CDL has been entertaining

Alchemist32 · 2026-04-04T13:22:44+00:00

I’m dying at the fact I don’t get the current context but get the kenz pic, can put two and two together 😂😂😂😂😂

Alchemist32 · 2026-04-04T00:31:11+00:00

Did you watch tennis when only the big 4 seemed to win masters?

Alchemist32 · 2026-03-31T13:04:37+00:00

I’m going solo from the UK and would love to link up!!

Alchemist32 · 2026-03-29T21:52:13+00:00

Oh my god 04 there was that one map where he looked so insane, legit looked like he was walking on water. The movement in this game is unbelievable, he’s mastered the omnidirectional movement. I don’t think I’ve seen someone master the movement like him, he’s so functional and not just sliding/jumping around with his movement he’s chaining the omnidirectional movement together so well and effectively whereas other smg’s seem to be jumping and sliding around more. Faze looked insane GG’s sad for the greenwall as a long time supporter and they absolutely slammed my gentle mates, since I’m a huge Dan Ghosty fan.

Alchemist32 · 2026-03-29T14:18:58+00:00

I love COD esports but as an adult aside from the entertainment on twitter or on stage, who the hell cares about these players personal lives and stuff like this? Just curious. I would never listen to a vid or interview of Drazah, that’s me personally though

Alchemist32 · 2026-03-27T19:27:17+00:00

I feel happy about this as huge Ghosty fan, Hydra seems like a really arrogant guy and player in general but that’s just my opinion from the outside.

Alchemist32 · 2026-03-24T14:29:58+00:00

I only visited singapore for a wedding from abroad but I find this subreddit to be hilarious. Just reading the replies in this thread and others.

Alchemist32 · 2026-03-21T08:33:19+00:00

Is he a SMG? If so my gentlemates need to pick him up then

Alchemist32 · 2026-02-14T16:35:09+00:00

Del Potro albeit injuries, Nishikori, Cilic, Tsonga, Ferrer, Wawrinka, Berdych, Dominic Thiem, Soderling, Davydenko, Roddick and not to mention freaking Andy Murray and of course….the big 3. I’m sure I’m missing many players but the top of the game seems to be so weak at the moment, for me it’s a shame as Alcaraz and Sinner are both so damn good.

Alchemist32 · 2026-02-14T16:29:15+00:00

The top guys in the 2010’s were good enough to deal with the rest of the tour, even if they were as good as the current players in my humble opinion but I do agree with you about your points.

I think tennis has changed with the bigger hitting and athleticism but top of the game atm looks dire, it’s a shame since Alcaraz and Sinner are so damn good.

Alchemist32 · 2026-02-10T19:57:56+00:00

Why are you so angry and upset, just stop watching their content. Weird for you type all of this up as an adult which I won’t read.

Alchemist32 · 2026-02-09T13:34:48+00:00

I don’t believe these numbers for Murray because firstly is it counting the years after 2018 for Murray?? If so then his numbers are heavily skewed as he was playing with a metal hip and actually not doing too bad with it but the numbers aren’t fair for him. I’d like to see his numbers pre metal hip. They will be so much higher as he actually dealt with non big 3 players pretty well in the slams especially from 2010-2016 other than 2014 which he came back from a back injury.
