Now that gambling is being talked a lot about in the League scene because of P*lymarket, I wanna confess something that I haven't said publicly before
I had A SEVERE gambling addiction
From 2018-2022 I would basically gamble every other day
The only money I used in my life at that time was for food, rent and gambling
I didn't really get any enjoyment out of anything else
And because of my undiagnosed ADHD, it most likely made the addiction so much worse
On the worst days, I would quite literally gamble away my rent money
It took my over a year after 2022 to FINALLY be fully out of the loop, and I have be free since
I know the struggles of the addiction, the depression, highs and lows and the money problems and not telling anyone about it
Hell, I told my parents last year I had a gambling problem
I am one of the lucky ones that got out, and it still took a lot of my time and money to do so
I am not trying to be a hall monitor for any company or individual taking these offers. I know the money that's in it. I honestly don't know if I would be the one also taking them if I didn't have these prior experiences
But I do, and I can never take these offers because of it
There are no customers in gambling, only victims
If you have problems with gambling, please, talk to people
That is the first step to making your life normal again
Blaming yourself for losing a game of Ranked is the most narcissistic thing you can do
"I should've pathed safer"
"I should've backed on better timers"
"I could've waited to start that fight"
You're NOT the main character
Grow up, be mature, and start blaming losers queue.
