Well this is a small blog step so you do not think I'm dead xD, I'm still very grateful to the sports betting community for their donation to my weekly contest, the last winners were great. So wait sunday to the next edition!
Well as I had said lately I have been quite immersed in poker games, I entered the scorum poker league tournaments twice, in which they kicked my ass for playing foolishly, but I loved sharing the table with players like mikey , the bull, hopcfarm, etc.
I am considering the same although it is not much, to donate 10 or more scorums per week for a scorum poker tournament, and I will contact the owners to receive my donation as I would like more of you to become great players and be rewarded by them.
Although I had not mentioned it a while ago, the second university course I'm going to pursue is medicine, so I still like to see the different ways in which I can see things in a way that gives me new knowledge, for example if we talk of poker I can tell you that addictions, besides all the problem that is by itself, is very ingrained to the poker players thanks to the money factor and our brain that is quite silly.
The addictions apparently is the unhealthy search for self-satisfaction through the continuous use and dependence of substances or through behaviors, one of which is gambling. Have not seen hundreds of cases of people who have lost everything in a single night in Las Vegas? They are difficult stories to believe, the savings of a lifetime lost by phrases like this:
"I already lost half, I must continue playing to recover the loss"
and tragically after gambling the other half and losing it, they enter a state of despair, which has led whole families to broken banking. Until the bettor begins to borrow enough to be able to bet, we loan unofficial to high interests, hypothecals, loans to the bank, all kinds of toxic and bad debt that according to them they will be able to pay after betting.
Although this type of disorder is quite common, I think that the "environmental" factor has to do a lot, but I do not mean the trees or the ecosystem, rather, the habitat of a person. Let's look at the example of marijuana, it is the most famous drug and it is considered by many as a tool to end your life and your future in seconds, but how true is this?
Imagine that we have 2 similar cases but not completely, a couple of adult men in full age of 40, a time when you see how time has gone by quickly and you know that it will not come back, you start looking for new experiences to feel alive .
The first has family problems because he is constantly fighting with his family, the work is disgusting and is poorly paid. His days are all gray and he is at the breaking point of his spirit, close to collapsing with boredom and losing himself.
The second leads a pretty good life, although it is not rich it has a fairly stable financial freedom. His family has problems sometimes, but they always manage to get ahead. His work is his vocation, so he really feels that he is not working and feels full with everything he has done.
Both men turn 41 on the same day and casually make a madness trip to the vegas, enjoy a night in the best bars and end up in a casino sitting at different tables, trying for the first time what real-life poker feels like. . Both feel the adrenaline of betting a good part of all the money they brought in their pockets and win the whole pot of the table, with a poker of aces.
Now who do you think will end badly in this story?
While the man in the second case, will return happy to tell what happened to his family as an interesting experience and perhaps the family start playing poker to have fun in the comfort of your home. On the other hand our first subject, was totally wrapped in the adrenaline and euphoria that gave him the luck and the odds in that game of poker, a feeling that he had not imagined so long, so while going back to his boring Life again, start thinking about what you should try again someday another game of poker.
The next week decided and just filled with the end of the month pay, he decides to go to a local casino to try his luck. The night starts regular with a couple of good hands and other pitiful defeats, there comes a point where you see face to face with an experienced bettor, is playing with your mind and makes him bet more than 60% of his salary, which is lost atrociously.
Unable even to swallow saliva, the dècide continue playing to try to recover his money, finally after a long night of losses he realizes that his pocket has been 0, totally empty. Here begins the cycle of a gambling addict, needs to continue betting to live.
Find more money to continue betting and feel the emotion of a new experience, being able to hide for a while from reality and immerse yourself in a world of pleasures is what takes you little by little to the bottom of the abyss of addiction, where you will be alone and you will need help to get out.
Well it was a small example and a reflection that I wanted to do, is to always share with someone the things you feel and do, sometimes the person who can harm us is ourselves, listen to the advice of someone else that can help us to discern better our thoughts and avoid something like an addiction disease.
It is easier to become addicted to something when you are alone with yourself
Well I also wanted to take advantage of the situation to show you how i look behind my scorum profile :o , and tell you a little about myself.
My name is Luis, I am from Ecuador and I am 17 years old (A few people knew this, it was something I did not want to say yet), but I hope my stay here has been pleasant for a lot of people, since I joined my shoes of a little fish without much money and I have looked for different ways to help them, such example is the contest that I do weekly. I have said that I have been busy, because it is my last period in High school because I have 2 months to graduate and I have had many events and preparation for the final exams that are coming. But I still feel that I have not stopped paying attention to scorum. Well nothing more to say for now, I think that later I will make a more formal and extensive presentation, I just thought it was time to tell them! I've been in cryptos since I was 15 years old, although my family thinks I'm playing in front of the computer xD
(Yes, you will hardly see me smile in a photograph)
I wish you the best and live scorum forever!
