Counter-Strike 2

PLEASE 'LEARN' FROM MY MISTAKES. This was my inventory at one point in 2016. Not a single skin remains. DON'T GAMBLE!

"Don't be as stupid as me and just hold your skins for yourself. Don't gamble, don't bet.

Be happy with what you have and don't be jealous of others people's skins or wealth.

Clearly I wasn't this smart before and I was so damn greedy that I couldn't stop. I always wanted more. And I ended up with NOTHING.
All those YouTubers who were winning all these bets, all these rigged jackpots, all my low % winnings, it all got me so badly.
No wonder you become addicted when the site lets you win a $1.500+ pot while I've put in 3 dollars in keys or skins. But this is not the point. I couldn't stop. It was my own fault.

I could've bought a car with that $16K. I could've done so many things with that kind of money! In fact, this is not all that I lost. It's just a snapshot of a given date and time. I lost way more than this but you get the idea with this screenshot. I was 18, 19 at the time so you can imagine I wasn't rich or anything. I'm just a regular dude and I had a problem. An addiction!

Every time the inventory was empty again, I loaded it up full of keys and AK Redlines and any skin you can imagine actually that is tradable. I also gambled away skins that I never wanted to lose. My low float play skins... My play skins with special or rare stickers. The addiction was too strong and I needed more skins and wins.
Btw please note that all skins were bought with my own hard earned money. No money from family or friends. No scamming. No begging or anything like those things. Would've be much easier right now knowing I didn't lose my own money, but the money of a rich uncle or something. Sadly, this is not the case.


Now, 4 years later, I still remember losing a lot of money but I've learnt to accept my mistakes. I just came up this history page by accident so it got me in the moment right now.

I'm not here to tell you what to do and not to do, but make your own conclusion from this. An 18 year old kid should not be gambling thousands of dollars worth of skins at any day of the week. As a matter of fact, no one should. But that's just my thought about it now since I know what it did to me.

The damage was so big that I even quit CS:GO for approx. 2 years.

Now I'm back at it again, trying to have fun again in the game instead of alt-tabbed gambling sites or betting sites where all I did was lose money and be unhappy.

And yes, I bought some skins again to play with. But boy oh boy, they're never leaving my inventory unless I sell or gift them.

I hope you have a lovely day! ❤
And I hope I opened some people's eyes that might also be sensitive to gambling. 👊
It's. Not. Worth. It. Not your money, not your time.

Interesting story first you never thought you could spend $16K on a video game but the world always has some tricks on you Watch out and be happy for what you have currently:lunar2019piginablanket:

I lost about 1600 dollars in skins in one day back in 2016 as well, my whole inventory. I gambled and made around 500 dollars in like an hour of gambling but I went too greedy, went all in and lost it all. It's a tough lesson but a life long one. I might not have lost the amount that you did but I felt so horribly shit after I lost it all but today it's a good lesson.

This is how it works.
Feels bad, man.
Glad you had strength for comeback.
And please don't make this mistake ever again.
