Gambling addiction is brutal. Gambling will destroy everything in your life and leave you pennyless. I know first hand because I come from a family of gambling addicts.
Kevin tru gambling addicts ??
I’m one too but I’m just too good at it
@@nike2126 did that hubristic comment come back to bite you yet?
@@nike2126 Matter of times. Be careful.
Yes. It destroys the gambler& everyone around the gambler financially. And when they want money to gamble, will lie, cheat, steal, & go into deep debt, in order to get it. They emotionally abuse family members & use intimidation tactics, destroying everyone else's finances, in their paths. If you ever meet a gambling addict run in the opposite direction. I'm sorry I didn't.
It took me a 32 plus years span of Gambling to finally overcome this horror story, I’m still unraveling the damage I did to myself and others, even though I hid it very well, except toward my latter end when I could not hide it anymore, Many losses! Today I am out of that Prison!! Helping others.
Yuppers
I need help
thanks bro I appreciate the advice. can I borrow 200?
Such a pity Bro ,I really feel for you and I understand how you feel too I almost lost everything I had in life to gambling, until I came across one man that saved my from detb,
Giovanni Regalado I’ll give you money
I've always felt the baby steps need a step 0: Resolve any addictions. No other steps will work if you don't get that resolved.
What got me Free was-I prayed, I read scripture, I used Affirmations, + Positive Self Talk, used journaling, I got an Accountability partner, used Mirror talks, video therapy and Electronic affirmations.
people who get addicted to gamble are just stupid
I see ADDICTIONS, no matter what it is, as MISTRESSES that wrecks and destroys lives!!!
I'm going to play this every morning. God pray for me
This was the golden era of the Ramsey show. Dave was so much more authentic and humble than what he is today.
look at the culture today. totally different kind of stupid never before seen on planet earth. entitlement, denial, Godlessness, and hopeless victims walk the streets today. I don't think dave's the problem.
I am a therapist who treats gambling disorder. excellent words of wisdom, Mr Ramsey. thank you.
What advice would you give a professional gambler that is mostly in profit?
@@diamonddre4626 STOP!
@@diamonddre4626 man stop right now trust me. I’m serious. I was up too. Not worth the risk cause it’s so easy to to negative
I love how at the end he tells him to let him know the rest of the story to kind of pressure him into not gambling
This guy is right gotta attack the gambling addiction from all fronts. I done it all, GAs, do the 12 steps, sort my emotions w therapy and seeking spiritual meaning in my life. I did it all. It FINALLY WORKED after several fails, but this guy is right gotta kill it from all fronts at the same time.
Its like fighting cancer, Chemo, alt med, pain reduction, operation to remove it
All in
The first time I went broke from gambling made me quit, after saving up and getting back on my feet for 2 years. I had some extra money went back and approaching being broke again. This time around gonna need to stick to staying away cuz this cycle is vicious unrelenting and not only financially devastating but truthfully physically and mentally destructive. Mentally the dopamine spikes ruin the brain and physically it leads to loss of motivation which in turn causes laziness and body neglect.
Stay focused! The way I look at it is that the house always wins.
You're absolutely correct. I've been into this.
Excellent video. Gambling destroyed my life twice. Through the help of gamblers anonymous, therapists and the right medication I'm rebuilding my life.
how are u now
What medication?
What medication
I am 13 plus years without a bet. Medication was antidepressant Venlafaxine. I am more than grateful to no longer be on the hamster wheel
I feel gambling addiction is exactly like a drug addiction, you're fine while doing it but when the money is gone you're at your low , only worse.. Bill's are behind, you ignored the important calls, you lied to family and yourself. Calling into work because you don't have the gas money to get there, trespassing to go gamble because you signed yourself off twice already. This list goes on and on
This hits home =(
That sounds like me few years ago. Man. Just stop. It’s hard, but just work 3 months don’t gamble and from here you have some momentum and realize how much money u have in your bank account. That’s how I stop gambling.
@@nhialor5321 how did u stop pls help
im lost too.. lost more than $ 100k in stock market and poker gambling.. feel like finishing my life.. nothing left.. lost relationship, family, self esteem, pride to this.. im no more fit to be in this world
@@playwithme6474 I don’t know your salary, but my salary isn’t much. I make like 40k a year and pay about 750/month on rent utilities and other necessities since I live with 4 roommates. So I save at least 2k a month on average total to at least 24k a year in savings. Just do it for 3 months and don’t think about gambling. I know it’s tempting to want and know u can make 500 dollars easily gambling a day, but the more u play the likelihood of u losing is higher. I just think to myself y would I bring 2k to the casino to try and win 500 dollars so I’m risking 2k for 500 dollars which isn’t really smart. So y would I give the casino 24k when I can use that money for myself. Just don’t gamble for 3 months and see how much u can save. Best of luck to you and I wish u the best in this crazy pandemic time.
@@nhialor5321 do you still gamble
Take a break from gambling, like a month or so then decide whether you want to return. A break will remove the distraction and thinking of bets. You can say to yourself:" I haven't quit just need a break" by the time the break is over you will say to yourself " I don't need this in my life". That's what worked for me, it's just another way.
I think that is a good way to make it far more digestible. It’s hard to cold turkey say you’ll quit forever.
A break away - and focus on your better vision of what is Best for you.
I lost $10,000 to realize I can never chase back my losses. Expensive lesson but whatever it takes for me to end this I'll be happy.
Man ,I ve lost like 20k the past 3 months, after I lost the first 5k.
It was chasing losses , n I m still doin It, I can t stop cuz I m so sick that I ve lost so much. N I keep hoping I ll win n I m still losing like 1k a week. I m in debts in such hard times
@@dostidodi4383 hey man please please please stop. I’m 18 and lost 5k my parents are getting suspicious. Please stop. It’s never too late to stop and rework on your life habits. Please stop and never look back, you can’t make back those losses. things will get better when you stop.
I feel the same. The amount I've lost is huge, but none compared with the joy of stopping gambling forever!
Dosti Dodi...in a matter of time your 20k will become 200k... Just think if outsiders win on long run how can casino survive by paying salary to so many employees rent and other expenses....get out of this shit...I lost 90 lakh indian rupees over 9 years ...now I m out of it for nearly 1 yr...plz note u not only loose money but also time family kids frds ect
@@nagarajun5556 I don t do casinos
I bet on soccer games monstly
Dave said some good things that "clicked" with me. I'm struggling to quit gambling all together... I'm losing too much and chasing money I've already lost. Reality is I need to cut my losses and get over it then move on and never look back... high limit black Jack is dangerous
Jeremy Q I risk about $4K every time I play (about 2-3 times per week). I’m up $12K this week but I know I need to quit.
Gambling has the highest suicide rate out of all addictions yet it’s one of the biggest things social media influences are promoting to the youth. The company “Stake” has them all on the payroll.
1 in 5
Please pray for me. I think I am addicted to gambling. It's really starting to cost me...
Za Shish I am too I need help to get pass this
Za Shish same I just turned legal in my county and I’m already starting to fall into the trap.
Hopefully you find some willpower and succeed.
Let me put it this way... As a person who has been addicted to drugs, and gambling... You have the better of both worlds. There is no physical addiction, its all mental. I used to spend more than half of my paycheck on lottery...scratch offs and powerball. Also some casino. What made me stop is when my car broke down and I needed $1,000 to fix it and had basically nothing. After that everytime I went to the lotto machine I thought about if I wanna have losing lottery ticket.... Or gas in my car. Everytime you goto gamble just think, its money your possibly losing when if you simply save the money... That's better. Would you rather eat? Pay bills? Take care of yourself... Or take a risk that could leave you empty pocketed.
I'm struggling. Lost my loans in gambling scam. Better you find relatives or friends and stop it forever, if u continue it will cost u more. I am with you
I quit gambling for over a year, like a drug addiction, when I started back, OMG! It was 10X'S worse.
Why did u start back
Hi how you doing?
How are you doing? did you stop gambling again?
Wow
I love how he brings the religious aspect from a community aspect. I'm also not religious, but I appreciate the advice he gives about finding a community, with religious as an option without proselytizing.
Thank you
indeed and I will echo his advice if you have an addiction and if you are in doubt go to the bishop they will know what to do.
I lost over 100k to Gambling over the past years. I’m so mad at myself.

Gambling has ruined me
After loosing almost everything, finally I have reached out for help.. now I'm going to gamblers anonymous and the stories you hear it crazy.. gambling is the devils game
i will give to 10 to one odds you will fail at GA, care to take me up?
I won $1200 in one night with $100 playing poker after that I haven’t played so well I got an adrenaline rush like I never felt before started losing every game after that night so I quit ,best decision I ever made ,the casino is a parasite ,watch out for parasites coming for your money ,time,health.
These stories are important to be heard of the realities and devestating impact on not just the singular life but the family and friends
Man, Gambling Addiction sucks! It’s a rollercoaster ride that ends in carnage.
Totally!!!
SyZyGy7 facts
Have you lost tens of thousands in a day ??
Was a fun ride..i wanna get off now 🙏
David eric nothing worse than getting one cash advance after another.
And now sports gambling is legal which is going to create a tidal wave of indebtedness
I live in Illinois. The suburbs are loaded with gaming cafe's. Too convenient. Gambling should be inconvenient. I wish boats, gaming cafe's, and casinos outside of Nevada and Atlantic City never existed.
Agree
I'm sure alcoholics think there are too many bars, smokers think cigarettes are too available, and those who deal with their problems by over-eating think there is too much fast food around. If you think that controlling your external environment is going to solve your problem, you're wrong. The control must come from within you. Part of the problem with addicts is they blame everyone and everything except themselves for their problem. This is probably the most noticeable personality trait of an addict of any kind.
@@wandajuul5150 correct. Just because you have a problem doesn't mean you get to change the freedoms and liberties of other people. A lot of people gamble recreationally and don't have a problem. You can't burden the world because you are struggling. Freedom of choice. This doesn't mean your problem isn't important or serious it just means it is your problem.
It's interesting how Vegas has transitioned over the past 30 years. When it was a Nevada only novelty, gambling was the primary focus and the city made so much money off the addicted, problem gambler. Nowadays, Vegas relies much more on glitz, expensive restaurants and hotels and entertainment. The problem gamblers doesn't make it out there as much because they're losing all their money at the local casinos.
I’m Going through a really rough time. I’ve lost everything. I want to be better I’m only 20 and I have a fiancé who looks to me to grow our family, I hope to get better and clear this from my mind. I had enough money to get us to our next step in life... $14000 and now it’s all gone down to $100. Nothing more than a reality check
I can't believe gambling is still legal. Technically it is manipulating people into giving their money, it's addictive and costs many-many families, careers, peoples lives. The fact, that it's still legal is sick.
Brigita Murutar Yeah well, this is America. To be honest drugs should be legal too. People should have the option to choose whatever it is that they want to do. Legal or not, gambling will be around forever, just as drugs are.
no technically it isn't. if people with no self control want to gamble in games they can't win that's their fault.
@@joshh6922 True, so true because Satans job is 24/7. He never sleeps. He doesnt need ro.

Kind of glad I saw this, lost $1,600 online gambling and was debating doing more to win it back but I am done. Life lesson for this 25 year old. Online casino’s are probably rigged and this was much needed no more.
Same here mate lost so much this week just chasing it praying i can win it back there’s literally no worse feeling when all the moneys gone and u come back to reality of what u have just done
@@markmontana90 It ain’t worth it. I tried that as well lost another $600 and I am done. No more gambling for me, I will stick to investing. You try to get rich quick you get punished I have learned that.
lost 10k bro
@@zachariah1990 did you gamble anytime, anywhere after you posted that ?
@@aleksabajic2221 Yes I have, I managed to get my money back fully gambling and got very lucky I and I decided to stop indefinitely now. I can live with breaking even.
I lost 16,000 usd in under six months, lied to my family and friends, borrowed, stole and spent every cent i had on online casinos, so i self excluded myself from all online sites and started saving all the money i would normally gamble
How's the progress?
"you don't want to transfer one addiction to another" exactly!!! You need to split them like Ace's. It's just basic strategy 😂😂😂
Always split aces! And 8s!
@@flippatheshippa but Colin Jones is a Christian.
@@slaniejode2318 haha yeah I know Colin Jones but why do you bring up him being a Christian as gambling is never mentioned in the Bible lol
As a former addiction counselor and as a non-Christian I can honestly say this is the best counseling I’ve seen!
Jesus Christ saves pal
I started since i got laid off from work. Always chasing losses. Realizing i will go back even if i win. Not a good feeling.
Gambling will not make you rich. Dave said it himself Gambling is a tax on the poor and those who can't do math. Gambling offers false hopes, it is an addiction, it will put you in debt, and you will end up broke. Plus gambling is dumb. Invest your money or put it in the bank don't gamble.
Patrick Parcivel for many people, gambling and drinking are not fun or even if they are fun at the time, they bring much more misery.
True words
@@biggawinnacrapsa3870 he will be broke soon enough.
@@biggawinnacrapsa3870 want a bet? I seen people who get lottery tickets get sued by the IRS who charges a 50% tax on all earnings. Don't gamble this is the quickest way to lose your money.
@@biggawinnacrapsa3870 yes you can and the guy in South Carolina is now broke he blew it all in Atlantic City.
I loss my family , job and home from gambling addiction. I was in denial the whole time. I put my family through everything. I am the bad apple of the family.
I'm also the bad apple of the family....the black sheep
make up your mind, which are you?@@npme77
I totally agree with Dave that gambling addiction or any type of addiction is a SPIRITUAL battle as well. It's a beast.
not spiritual at all; it is just idiocy
Had unfortunately relapse with gambling. For the last 2 months spent money and it destroyed my family. Lost trust with my immediate family. Lost my paycheque today, very bad habit
I am a recovering gambling addict, please seek help if you have the symptoms, this is an addiction that will ruin your life.
Where can i find you
What are the Symptoms?
Most people will hit rock bottom, often the earlier the better, try to make good decisions, don’t be too greedy, try to be a good person and realise that money is a tool for your success. Top tip, when every you save 5k, put it in short term deposits, it will stop you from wasted a whole lot of money.
I have a gambling problem........i can't win. There's no problem when you're winning. The problem is when you're losing.
Gambling leads to other addictions as well. Its brutal
Its literally insane how much better off we would be if we just didnt play.. thats what winning seems like it would feel like. Im 24 and the past 3 years have been hell. Working for nothing. Nothing to show for it. Im done
People don’t understand gambling is just as bad as drugs. Sometimes even worse
Yes
At least drugs you can meet some cool people gambling leaves you all alone like me
@stevesharpe3370 nah, you end up alone too in alcohol and drugs. It ends in death or prison. That's it.. alone. Its all the same battle
Poverty is the reason why most gamble stop say it’s just addiction
One of the best videos of Dave!
👏🙏
I am 54 years old. I have been addicted to gambling mostly sports betting) but slots too all my life. I can remember betting on games as young as 11 years old
what are you going to do about it
i live in NJ doin this crap for 25 yrs, now its legal.....i always try to stop only to go back.....so tired of this shit
clearly you are not tired of it yet.
@@DrSchor u know what....who the F are you to say a word....keep ur goofy mouth shut
Gambling breeds liars, destroys families, forces other family members to bear the brunt of so much abuse and leads to estrangement from family members…. Been there, brother lying, gambling addict who gas lighted us and caused estrangement within the family not to mention stealing money that belonged to family…. If you are addicted to gambling, go get help for God’s sakes before you destroy not only your life but the lives of others!!!
I have never had to deal with a gambling addiction, thank God. I did go to casinos at Atlantic City, and I did play a few games, but I didn't win anything, of course. I knew when to get up and walk away. That is the key, knowing when to stop. Gambling addiction is no different from an invisible person; it just grabs your money if you let it.
Addicts are called Addicts for a reason. Their minds and urges operate differently to a normal, average being. Addicts can't control it, they are powerless to it and we can't make them stop. They have to want to stop for themselves and that can take years.
Conservative Prosecutor Nope, no stocks or mutual funds either.
Conservative Prosecutor I have a job with the state government. Thirty years and counting!
Conservative Prosecutor
Yes! Life is a Gamble and therefore it comes with consequences and lessons that you learn from. For eg. Should I remain in fear of my life in a war infested country or sail the seas for a better life and future. I'm probably going to die either way, so I'll risk my life and hopefully I survive the rough seas for freedom. Life is not fair either but it comes with many choices and opportunities to better it.
@Conservative Prosecutor gambling means you have to put something on the line. going for a job interview is not gambling, however getting married is the biggest gamble you can take!
When he told Dave that he don't "make" lies, he's lying. If he had said. "I haven't lied to my wife, I've been up front with her."
I would have thought maybe he is telling the truth.
Yep as a liar I can just hear the lies.
For the addicts... which one is worse a gambling addiction or an alcohol addiction?
Gambling. Because I am both and recovering. Both for me went hand in hand. I was deceitful, manipulative, a compulsive liar, I hid it so well. With Alcohol, it only goes for so long before you start seeing the physical signs a d trying to hide bottles, being drunk, people see that. With Gambling, there are no hiding bottles, there's no being drunk, it's all psychological and truth speaking I would rather be an alcoholic than a gambler. Even as an alcoholic, I hide Gambling so well, like all addictions, I didn't believe I had a problem. As soon as I came clean about my gambling, the lies, the manipulation, the deceit, how I treated all my friends/family, and years of lies was a lot worse than the fall out from my Alcohol addiction. But I am in recovery, and I haven't gambled or taken any alcohol in 3 years. I still go to support groups and I thank the Lord every day for the people around me. My love to you all from Ireland 🇮🇪
You can’t loose if you don’t play
If you are broke and poor it doesn’t matter if you gamble or not
Its diffrent levels of poor and misery, u cant say it like that.@@brukesisay8141
Now adays I just play free slot apps on my phone when I get the itch to gamble. And if I find myself playing excessively I can stop without accepting a loss.
It's true, sobriety is part of being rich. It doesn't mean you have to be a Mormon, but you must be the master of your vice and be capable of long periods of sobriety.
That's really frightening. Just got married, chills. Sure he has to deal with the gambling but marriage will destroy everything a man has and is and keep coming back to kick him while he's down after he hits rock bottom.
All good suggestions but also add exercise program and exclusions of cash advances from credit cards
went from 100k to 1.2m in 3 months with dogecoin. it got me so hooked and I thought I was a genius. eventually lost it all plus an additional 200k over the course of 2 years. got in serious debt and became a terrible person. I lied, stole, became an alcoholic, porn addict. gambling sucks
sure, but the porn is fun
damn thats rough, slow and steady is the only way, you wont stop playing risky and that always turns out going bankrupt no matter how high u got up to
It’s not an addiction if you’re winning. It’s just a skill issue, and you don’t want to admit to having a skill issue do you?
People don't know when to hold and when to fold
I'm broke and my niece just asked me to borrow $1500
Life is much different today😎 i decided to stop believing the lie!

So I’m doing well then I’m broke its painful.
Give it over to prayer and to God. Ask him to help you. It’s a sickness that you can’t fight yourself. Just ask in your closet ask Jesus to help you break free. He will do it for you if you ask from the sincerity of your heart.
People start gambling just because to try it out (with knowledge of other people saying it's bad) they start low bets ,, but out of curiosity they make bigger bets ,, then as time goes on they gather up losses , the only way to time efficient make that money back would be to make even larger bets and so on ...(furthering the losses and furthering the increase of bet needed to make up for that loss). The times i went to gambling that i spent least was when i was "happy" and the time i spent the most was when i was "sad/angry/ stressed" . So basically if i want to lessen my losses in Casino gambling the answer would is to be happy (and i'm trying to apply this to everything in my life outside the Casino as this isn't a "gambling habit" ,, it's my habit) ...
It’s only a problem if you lose.
Try to find Celebrate Recovery or Regeneration classes somewhere. Good luck! Dave is right. Most of the time it’s a spiritual issue.
Gamblers are only rational when the money runs out. Better to be drug addict in my humble opinion

Yeah i say this too! At least you spend the money on drugs and get to use them. Gambling is legit spending money to lose money 🤣🤣
I like the idea of not working from home. The change of scenery and people around might help.
Think of gambling this way, which nobody mentioned yet: DONT GIVE THE GREEDY GOVERNMENT THE SATISFACTION! hows that for motivation to quit?! Be a winner and cherish what you have in this one and only life
Shame and regret will do a lot do correct actions

You have to do the all-in approach. GA, therapist, whatever it takes. Gambling destroyed my life twice.
I've been in the clutches of gambling and the advice was pointless as the gambler already know this advice. It was really a call just to talk in the hope of motivation. Gambling is a cancer.

Gam Anon before you lose your whole family.
I really wonder if people are addicted to gambling or are addicted to the atmosphere. When you walk into a casino you have to know it's all on their side you're only going to walk out with what they allow you to walk out with and if by chance you happen to win more than what they are comfortable with they will probably tell you not to come to that casino again.

I just got into gambling online where i crave doing it just this month, like 15 days ago. Ive already downloaded an app to block the site because i know this is no good, luckily im up but what ive had to risk to be up and the near life ending feeling from chasing losses let me know i dont need to be doing this without extreme discipline because if i can't trust myself to not put more in then i don't want to play. And I've shown myself i can't be trusted, up 1500 this month but one day while i was up 800 i lost it all and risked 1500 to get it back...worked out that time but if it didnt idk where id be rn
Casinos are for fools. This is why I only buy stock options that expire in less than a week
I think my detriment is gambling on lottery tickets... I used to have a drug addiction to pills it’s a couple years since I’ve touched a pill but I feel as if I replaced one addiction for another.. please help on some great strategies! It’s only 20% knowledge so I understand it’s easy but it’s easier said then done
Good information
Does anyone think being a casino dealer good for someone who has family members that are gambling addicts
University of Minnesota has done research w NAC 600 mg bid (twice a day) for gambling addiction. It is also great for your liver. GA is not effective for most.
As one who lives with the risk, the amount of risk just grows and grows because of the adrenaline
i'm pretty sure it's the dopamine...read up on endocrine medicine
I took my garbage out and flooded clothes in the walk way for people to choose from for free
As a professional poker player since more than 10 years, my views on these situations are conflicted. From one side I need recreational players to keep dumping money into the game, from the other I'm sorry to be part of the problem.
@Cristian Reyes on point
Cristian Reyes that’s why you don’t on poker you bet only on sports ! Easier to WIN !!!!
Loser
at least it's the only addiction where you can win a bunch if money 🤷
seeing comercials for the lottery and sports gambling on tv and radio is disgusting
Was there ever a follow up to this?
Caller doesn't want help
Now you can hide from friends and family if you love playing the ponies . The old days you would be afraid that some neighbor or nosy relative may see you at the reacetrack and that would get back to ones family😢. Now you can bet from home on the phone or computer !
