Guys, i have decided to open a thread here, hoping to get an answer to my addiction issue, cause the replies i got at kopitiam would be.. well u know. Ive never told anyone including my parents about my gambling addiction, so i think it would be best to confess it here.

I don't gamble cards, or machines or any casino related games. I am only addicted to soccer betting. During my free time, i would just sit there and gamble whole day.

At first, i gamble small. I always choose safest bet. Those who bet will know. I always live bet and when the odds increases over time, i will bet on 'over'. I never choose which team to win, i just bet 'over'. As long as goals incoming, i win.

This seems rather easy and u can win lots of money. At first, i play small. From few hundreds to one thousand. I won quite a lot, and i got greedier and bet bigger. Soon, i lost all that ive won. Thinking i can recover my loss, i double down on my bet. Soon, it got out of hand, im down with more than 30k last week.

I stopped for a while, and start to analyse every match for few days but dont bet. What ive predicted is the same as the match outcome. There were 3 times that i really want to bet, but didn't, end up i could have win if i really bet.

I grew confident and i went to bet the asian qualification just now. Using the same method, i threw 10k on Japan china match to win another goal or over 3.5. Well, guess what, i lost. I just dont get it. Out of so many times i dont bet, and the results is always what i predicted, but when it comes to i actually bet, i lost.

Total, ive lost over 40k. For those who bet or has been bookie, is it true that the matches are rigged or fixed in certain way to make gamblers lost money??

Or am i just plain unlucky? Why when i dont bet, there are always so many goals which i could easily win when i bet 'over'?

My heart is so painful that i wish there is someone who would actually explain and clarify in a scientific way why i lost when i bet big but when i bet small, i will win? And when i dont bet, the matches always go according to what i predicted?

I hate myself for being an addict which my parents told me not to since i was a kid.

How i can overcome my addiction? Really really painful.

Just because u opened a thread here, doesnt mean is real.

Based on your threads history, you like to create tons of fictional stories.

1st and beside gambling, u also got zhut issue.

Everytime u want to gamble, take a cold shower.

What if those threads i created are real in certain way?

Please get lost. There are many threads out there that u could troll around

Find other hobbies.

My advice? Just take this 40k as a tuition fee.

Could be worst, like for example if you borrow Ah Long and they come after you or even worst, your family.

Your mindset thinking that you can cover back those 40k losses, is dangerous. You never know how deep you can dig.

I assume you still have a job, some savings left. Be grateful. It could be worse. Really.

Just let the 40k go.

Delete all those gambling apps, website, and vow never to lay your hands on betting again.

Don't watch football anymore. Watch something else...like porn etc.

Find other hobbies.

Watch No More Bets on Netflix...

See how your gambling addiction will ruin...NOT ONLY YOU!

BUT EVERYONE AROUND YOU, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LOVE YOU!

Isn't this motivation enough for you to stop?

You are right. Until now im still thinking i can win back the 40k and how sweet it would have been to taste the one time 40k winning.

Yes, i have a job, yes i do have savings. I can still bet, but how is it possible to just let the 40k go!! It's too much to handle. Not 4k, its 40k

I cant sleep tonight and i still have to work tomorrow!

What hobby can i have? Out of all hobbies, online soccer betting is the most interesting.

I really dont dare to tell anyone my addiction. I really don't know what else to do aside betting.

use asianbookie to see what the top tipsters are booking before u bet haha... but even though i followed religiously last time still lose.. betting in memecoins now instead lol

First of all, it’s courageous of you to admit your gambling addiction and seek help. Acknowledging the problem is a critical first step toward overcoming it.

Understanding Why This Happens

1. Cognitive Bias:
• When you don’t bet, you notice the times your predictions are right, reinforcing the belief that you’d have won. When you do bet and lose, it feels more impactful because you’ve invested emotionally and financially. This is called confirmation bias—you focus on outcomes that match your expectations and ignore those that don’t.
• The illusion of control plays a role too. You may feel that analyzing matches gives you an edge, but betting outcomes are largely unpredictable due to the nature of sports and the influence of countless uncontrollable factors.
2. The Gambler’s Fallacy:
• Losing streaks might make you believe a win is “due,” but each bet is independent of past outcomes. This fallacy can push you to double down, which increases losses when things don’t go your way.
3. Rigged Systems:
• Bookmakers design odds to ensure their profit, regardless of match outcomes. While most matches aren’t “rigged,” odds are calculated in ways that subtly disadvantage gamblers. Even a strategy that feels “safe” has hidden risks.

Why Betting Feels Like a Trap

• When you bet small and win, it encourages you to bet more, creating a cycle of greed and overconfidence.
• When you bet big and lose, it leads to frustration and desperation to recover losses, which perpetuates the cycle.

How to Overcome Gambling Addiction

1. Acknowledge the Problem Fully:
• Recognize that gambling has become a compulsion that’s harming your mental health, finances, and relationships.
2. Block Access to Betting Platforms:
• Use apps or services that block gambling websites and apps on your devices. You can also self-exclude from platforms.
3. Seek Support:
• Talk to someone you trust: Open up to a family member or friend about your struggles.
• Join a support group: Look for groups like Gamblers Anonymous, where you can connect with others facing similar challenges.
4. Replace Gambling with Healthy Activities:
• Fill your free time with hobbies, sports, or activities that keep you engaged. If soccer betting is tied to your interest in the sport, focus on watching games purely for enjoyment without monetary involvement.
5. Seek Professional Help:
• A therapist specializing in addiction can help you address the emotional triggers behind your gambling behavior.
• Financial counseling can also assist you in managing debts and creating a plan to stabilize your finances.
6. Set Realistic Goals:
• Commit to staying away from gambling for a day, then a week, and build on those small successes.
• Celebrate non-gambling-related achievements to reinforce positive behavior.

Financial Damage Control

• Stop Chasing Losses: Accept the losses and focus on rebuilding rather than trying to win back what you’ve lost.
• Budget and Prioritize: Create a financial plan that ensures necessities are covered while you work on paying off debts gradually.

Remember

Addiction is not about being weak or unlucky; it’s a mental health issue that requires active effort and support to overcome. With the right tools and support system, you can break free. The key is to take one step at a time and focus on regaining control over your life.

Asianbookie odds, the tipster forum, all other sites who i prefer not to mention here, ive been to all of them.

Trust me, even the tipster also will kelong.

I know this sounds a bit wrong, but is it worth to bet on memecoins? Which platform?

If I were you and I had the luxury of time I would...

1. Play MOBA Games (Mobile legends, LOL, Honor of Kings which are very addictive minus no bleeding wallets)
2. Binge-watch Netflix (Dramas and series)
3. Play basketball.

I can't really do any of these as I literally don't have EXTRA time every day...

So, if you could burn your time by doing other hobbies that are time-consuming and addictive...I am sure slowly and surely you can kick the habit.

The moment u use mathematical or scientific way to gamble, u will lose more. For me gamble just for fun, win small or lose small I will just go away.

How could i win back the money?

This is the past you fucking the future you. Thinking you can win it back, a gamble is a gamble: money lost is gone already. 40k is too much? Give yourself a slap or more until the pain is enough to stop yourself from going deeper. Or you can also keep gambling and suppose you win, I bet you're gonna think, "hah I won back my shit, I'm good. That means I can do it again and I'll win big". Then you'll get fucked over twofold.... Or more.

You already acknowledged the right advice; take it instead of eating your own words. Circling around any further will only make me think you're here to gain post counts / troll. Can't blame the forum when all you've been doing is post stupid nonsense in /k. 🤷‍♀️

Chance of going to 0 if u newbie is 99%.... I use many methods to give myself advantage..

Based on my experience with all kind of ppl with addiction they always betraying at the end.

The only way to really solve it either you chop down both your hand and leg or forever in jail or lebih baik 14th floor.

Everytime when u gatal wanna gamble whatever. Remind urself that so easy win meh, like that no beggar liao lo.

Betting for fun not getting rich
