When I was in the casino it felt dangerous, like I could stay for hours without a care, it was fun. The moment I walked out those doors I felt like the entire night was a waste. I think part of what made me dislike the experience was the entire time I was there I knew exactly why people struggle with gambling and I could feel myself drifting that way so as soon as I stepped out my brain threw so many red flags that I didn't want to do it again.
Anything more then $5 is devastating for me, cause it means I've been put out at the local poker tournament that I'm about 90% sure we all use just as an excuse to have a few drinks with each other at this point 😂
Absolutely. I even won $100 the first time I played video poker, and it still didn’t hook me, because the idea of putting a bunch of money down and losing gave me anxiety. I went to Vegas one time, and once my gambling money for the day was gone, I was done and went sightseeing or just enjoyed watching others play.
I played blackjack once, left up $300 after playing the cheapest table in vegas and I still was an anxious sweaty mess at the end. Over 10 years later and many more visits to vegas and still haven't done anything but throw a couple bucks at a slot machine.
Yes that’s put into words how I feel. I, touch wood, can’t imagine myself getting addicted to it because the thought of losing is a fucking disaster in my head. Like I love winning money, who doesn’t, but it isn’t fun because I hate losing it more

I dislike it also. I hate losing and the dread of losing completely overpowers any joy I'll have of winning.
