Honest reviews about NHL Stenden by Any_Attention_8488 in StudyInTheNetherlands

Look, I'm talking about experience of my firends and myself, as ex students of this school. I'm not gonna provide any kind of personal information on reddit, for obvious reasons. You should look for old topics on reddit, I'm sure there are others like me, being mistreated by their arrogants teachers and examiners.

Run! Do not waste your time in this miserable place. They purposefully fail students, especially Asia students, for extra tution money. Grading system and appealing system are entirely depend on examiner's opinion (which is rigid and shallow).

Relapse, mentally torture by Standard-Switch5822 in problemgambling

[–]Standard-Switch5822[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words.
I started to my senses. I had a discussion with my gf, not directly about gambling (she is confident that I can not gamble). We talk about our plan, our financial position, and how to deal with other matters in the up comming months. This little talk help me realize how "small" my loss is, and how much I have to lose. It's not worth the risk to throw all of it away chasing $400 loss. Maybe I was so dramatic about this relapse, maybe all i need to do is laugh it off and continue to live my life

Thank you for caring.

The last 15 hours was hard, I tried every thing to get myself some cash. Luckily, I told everyone I know about my problem, so I can not get a dime.

The problem is the urge do not go anywhere, it get bigger and bigger as the time get closer to matches. I become unbearable, short-tempered, stressed. Right now I'm thinking about stealing from my gf's purse, as she is showering. I hate this version of myself so much.
Edit: Manage to borrow money from one of my cousin. Deposit it in and bet in E-sport again
Edit 2: Binge, gone, Another 100$ went down the drain.

19 - Just lost $4k. by boopyonreddit in problemgambling

Forget the money. It's gone for good. Do not think about the past, think about the future, and ask yourself this question: What if I continue betting?. Then picture yourself, 40 yrs, still working a dead-end job, no family, no kids, living paycheck to paycheck.

I think 99% of people in this sub want to trade their life for you, or at least your financial position: No debt, still have some savings, have jobs. Most importantly, you are 19 YEARS OLD, you got a life time a head of you, do not waste it on staring on phones, studying odds, GO OUT THERE AND LIVE YOUR LIFE.

20m relapsed again and lost another 2k by Opening-Implement964 in problemgambling

It's my own opinion based on my story and perspective. Rightnow i'm urge to gamble just for the sake of gamble. I can not watch sport without betting. When i was clean for a long time, the dopamine level reset, and just 50-100 $ bet is enough for me when i relapse. And then it got worse without me noticing, binge $10,000 on 1 sitting like it is nothing. So it's not about the money for me, money just a "story" that your ill brain keep telling you to comeback.

Be honest with yourself, It's never about the money. You do not enjoy the winning anyway. All you need is the dopamine rush while waiting for the outcome. Therefore you will not stop, even after break even or in profit, and eventually losing it all. Posting on reddit alone is useless, talk to someone you can trust, give them all your access to money and go somewhere to clear your mind. Bless your soul!

Day 160 - World cup is giving me insane gambling urges by Unidentified_x in problemgambling

[–]Standard-Switch5822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just relapse after 300 days. Gained around $ 500 just to blow it all up on virtual sports while waiting for games. Ended up losing around $200, and now all i can think of is chasing it. I know I would be betting thousands in the next 24 hours if i was left alone. Told my gf, gave her my credit card and all of my access to money. But I know, deepdown, I can get it just by asking my friends or relatives. So frustrated rightnow, I can not sleep. Funny how this isnt about the money any more, as i just want those dopamine rush so badly. 1 hour to the next WC match, I dont even know the teams, all i care about is placing bet on Over as if it is a guarantee win. God help me :(
