So after losing so many bets in a row I just don't feel like I did before betting.

I tried turning steam guard on and off but I feel as if that does nothing as the money I lost is still lost. Is there some sort of support group on reddit that can help with this? Genuine question.

Please seek help if you are honestly feeling this way.

As for betting, don't add anything else to CSGL, keep disabling and re enabling Steam Guard. Try blocking CSGL from your browser. There's plenty of things you can do and it will definitely be hard, but it is possible and may people have over came your same situation.

Ok now let me ask just a few questions,

What family do you have alive?

Do you have any pets?

What makes you feel like you must bet?

First of all, stop betting. At least for a bit while you cool off. On reddit we have subreddits such as /r/suicidewatch and /r/depression to help. I have heard suicide watch might not have enough posters and some posts go unheard though. If it really gets serious, seek help in real life from a professional.

Remember, these skins are virtual pixels in a video game. I know they have real value but please contemplate what they actual are... it's just a game.

Stop betting. Go outside.

Question, how old are you?

Dont spend much into betting, start low, win huge.

But in your situation you should just stop...

The main thing you should do is call a gambling addiction hotline or see a therapist, people like them will be able to help you. Dont be scared to seek help, many people have been in your situation before.

I'll hapily be your friend, and we can play cs go/tf/dota sometimes if you want :)

hey buddy hang in there. youre going to be alright. keepin you in my prayers

Oh and don't even try to "block the website" or anything similar because the more you lock something away from you the more you WANT it back again.

Keep the site open, watch the games or stay informed but DON'T bet on them. That's the important part. Because YOU have to say no. You have to say no even when your best betting pal or whatever tells you to bet on this game or asks for opinions because yeah..quite self explanatory.

Do something else instead. Go outside, play other videogames, watch tv, bang ur gf idk lol

eat alot of chocolates and you will be happy. My fav, is dark chocolate xD

Just block it from your browser. Trust me it helps so much.

Stop betting. Dont bet if it affects your outside life. Calm down just play some CSGO man. Maybe talk to a friend or family member and ask them. Dont let this rule your life "Take control if the life your given"

Stop betting. Stop looking at Lounge and this subreddit. Try to put it out of your mind and go seek professional help. Gambling addiction is very well understood and you can get some great advice to sort yourself out.

At least you are aware of your problem. Thats a huge step to getting back on track.

PM me if you ever need a chat.

Don't bet what you can't afford to lose. You really shouldn't feel suicidal by losing virtual items from a game. Seriously, don't invest a lot of your own money into this..

Also, if you think betting isn't right for you, then stop betting. Forget about everything you lose, take it as a lesson you learned to stop betting.

You really shouldn't feel suicidal over losing CSGO skins unless it really makes an impact on your life...

JUST DON'T DO IT!

Life is WAYYYYY more precious then thinking of suicide because a Betting addiction.

You're feeling suicidal because betting means the world to you and because you are very attached to it.

I'll give you the best solution : Delete the fucking game and delete all your bookmarks related to betting. Do it instantly and don't even think about coming back.

1 Month you'll laugh at yourself at how dumb you were to type such retarded stuff about yourself for feeling suicidal on a betting addiction.

edit : Also the amount you lost, whatever you lost ... At some point in time you'll recover it back at your own pace in real ... It's not like you lost 1 million dollars. The more you stay hanging around this game scene at this current point will make your remember your bets. Just un-install and stay away from the game for a long time.. You will automatically devalue the game and betting and find much better things in life which are truly worth caring for .... You just need a change of mindset which you will only get by staying away from this stuff totally

Go seek professional help, you clearly have a problem and they will most likely be able to help with that.

You just gotta get the right mentality when betting, or don't bother. You got to understand when you bet, there is ALWAYS a chance you will lose,. always. When you bet just expect to lose, and if you do don't get too down on yourself, and if you win take it as a bonus. Losing money is not a reason to be suicidal, it is just a piece of paper that unfortunately controls most of us

Stay strong :)

You have to just learn from your mistakes and relish in what you enjoy. If you think and dwell on what bothers you it will eat at your insides. Sometimes when you are depressed you can't even enjoy the things you normally enjoy because they remind you of what is making you depressed in the first place (in this case CS). When I am feeling down about anything I set a goal such as installing a new game and getting all of the achievements. Obviously achievements are almost worthless but what they are good at is having a measurable goal for you to achieve. The other thing I do is exercise as it is proven to relieve depression. When you exercise you need to set a challenging goal such as jog for an hour. As a side note it is also a good idea not to think of it as you lost skins but that you donated them to someone else. If you need someone to speak to you can add me on steam under the name LemoNToweL with my daughter as my profile picture.

Why are you, or does anyone, take betting a trivial assortment of pixels important? Let alone important enough to destroy one of the most intricately designed collections of matter in the entire universe that is the human body.

Go outside and celebrate life you turd.

Hey dude. I grew up playing CS and I got pretty addicted to betting for a while so I understand where you're coming from. I've also considered suicide before (albeit over something unrelated to betting) so I can relate. Don't feel bad about having those thoughts. Almost everyone has them at some point or other. But please don't ever go through with it. It's just not worth it. You can find enjoyment in life again!

Why not try seeing a therapist just once? Or seeing a psychiatrist to try out an antidepressant? Any reasons you are opposed to those? I think you should give one or both a shot. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety since the end of high school. I'm now 24 and in a much, much better place. For me, it was a mixture of therapy, drugs, books, exercise, a little meditation, and my own eye-opening experiences in life that kept me going. Please don't give up and end your life before you try some of these out. You may think your life is a joke right now but with patience and a little effort eventually a door is gonna open up for you, and that door will lead to another door, and another door, and so on..sounds stupid but that's how it happens. You have a miniature breakthrough in improving yourself and it leads to more and more. And it feels damn good when you accomplish the tiniest of things.

Anyway, gotta stop rambling now. But I just want you to be happy, my man! I'm rooting for you. If you ever want to chat about anything at all or just play CS (DMG here), please hit me up. It would be awesome to get to know you :) take care, dood.

remember there is a lot worse people out there in the world. You have it lucky if you even have the opportunity to bet. with all dew respect, man up and crack on.

well i lost that inshock vs reason bet. ill be live streaming at twitch.tvdoyouspitorswallow

Just stop. Unsub from this subreddit, uninstall CS:GO and get away. Please stop because it will only get worse from here. You can't win back the money you lost. It's gone. Move on and don't waste more.

block csgolounge or any thing after 1 week only bet max 1$- items (maximum 4$ per game) at least u still lose low money and dont be ****. its just money

I don't know how people get so upset over bets. I was once up 2,000$ from trading, and worked myself down to 20$. Sure, I felt like shit the first few weeks struggling to get the skins I wanted, and still have no knife to this day. Just don't bet overdogs and expect everything to be good. Teams can upset in any sort of outcome. Like Fnatic against Dignitas today... That's not a "max and relax" as they call it. Theres a SMALL percentage that Dig could potentially upset. Doubtful, due to DDoS issues, but still possible.

dont play very often but hmu with your steam we should play some time

Stop betting and get off this sub. Don't even play CS.

I lost like 180$ on CLG vs Fnatic and I didn't care because if you think about, skins aren't important, they are pixels.

I aren't think that.

I just believe you should stay away from the betting scene period. Do not go to gambling sites - maybe have a parental lock on them and have someone in your house pick out the password for them? Just quit putting money into pixels and try to hold off the urge. What's gone is gone and you have to keep telling yourself that you knew the risk in betting them. It's the only way to learn how to cope with losses imo.

just bet on fnatic

How much did you lose? Also I can give you betting advices in what team you should bet on,if you have some skins left then contact me,or just invest like 10$

Dont worry man,it's just skins. Stop betting for a while ^{^}

Something inside of me wants to bring the most obvious answer to "what to do if you feel suicidal", but I'll get downvoted and will go to hell.
