Hello, I only play poker and this is enough for me, I tried several times to bet on my favorite team, but I lost! I tried several more times to place bets in the casino, but I also lost and realized that it was not mine! Now I only play poker! Doing good to everyone!

Until today I have played other games of chance, but with little profit, the truth to find an easier way to have fun to put into practice my knowledge and strategies and maybe win some money, is poker, I am not the best poker player, but when the chance is on my side there is nothing to stop me because all the moves are successful, but when I'm bad everything goes wrong and the worst player wins.

I occasionaly go to the local "Spielunke" with Friends to Burn some money in Slot Machines, but that's only once or twice a month and only involves 10-15€ each time, my biggest win was 120€ with 5€ invested. But thats just for fun of course.

I do sports betting as well even though I suck at it

Well i place bets here and there not really frequently maybe something like every 25 to 30 days. I usually bet 1 dollar and just watch those games for fun. Im new in poker and im already hooked, but i only play free tourneys from here so yeah its also relaxing at the same time.

No Bologna

No, playing poker gives me the rush I crave. Never was much for slots, used to play Black Jack until I started playing poker. I have no interest in sports betting.

opinion

Yes, I play almost all gambling games that are available on the Internet, except for online casinos. I think there are a lot of scammers.

I don’t gamble other than poker. It is enough to play spin-and-go and calm down.

I do more sports betting than I do anything else. I have definitely made more money betting on sports as well, however I do tend to fund my sports betting with my winnings from ring games and MTTs.

I used to do some sports betting for the same reasons you mentioned. And I also used to play casino games because I thought they were fun and exciting.

What I learned when I was playing poker professionally though was that I was supposed to desensitize myself to this rush, thrill, and excitement and to instead find my joy in making good decisions and playing the odds.

This you could say 'took the fun' out of the gambling side of the game and then made other forms of gambling unappealing. I'm learning to not crave the excitement of uncertainty and getting lucky as much but it's a process.

It was funny that after taking some time off all those gambling tingles come back.
Quite a funny thing the world of gambling. I probably stay away from it now just to keep myself safe and stable. Having an addictive personality I need to be careful of what I get myself involved with :)

I used to play sports betting and lost money overall. Even if your winning percentage is 50%, you still lose because of rake.
Just like poker, you must also defeat rake.
