I have many things to say here!
I've often said that streamers are, or have developed subconsciously, gambling addictions of which the realization is delayed until the day they have a big loss and the affiliate money doesn't cover it.
I'm sure
@Playford7 will be here soon crying tears of purple piss on your behalf, but one true fact is that your loss is essentially paid for from other players' losses. One discipline I followed religiously after becoming an affiliate was to always play and be prepared to lose a fixed affordable amount a month regardless of how far any earnings exceeded that amount. After taxes I saved at least 50% of my earnings and was never tempted to play big stakes, the only time I did was after building up a big balance from a relatively small deposit when I knew that I could just end the session and still cash-out a profit.
Your video also demonstrates the vileness of these 'bonus buys' which fortunately we aren't allowed in the UK.
Thanks for the economic lessons lol (just after the screaming lunatic burst into your home at about 1:01:30) - True about printing money but silver and especially gold are good investments, nowhere near as volatile as Bitcoin but always on a generally upward trajectory. Bitcoin may provide a risky investment for many, but it's not a convertible currency recognized worldwide and doesn't have intrinsic value with the main pitfall in that it falls outside the scope of regulation. As for Gold and Silver, you don't need to physically own it or carry it! You simply need to buy them from a trading site and you can cash in any time at the latest price when you're happy with the raise. In the UK we can own gold like this, VAT free and even kept by the Royal Mint or Bank of England and many banks as well as agents.
Doesn't matter what you own, you just lost about 0.3 Bc gambling and that kind of makes any investments moot as you'll never gain while you are prepared to gamble like that. Same for any streamer. For one day, you had the same feeling as many of the players you encourage to sign up via Twitch etc. Bottle that feeling for a moment, then think about the fact that's the people you earn money from.
One thing I could never contemplate is publicly putting a video out like yours bemoaning losses when I too make much of my income from other gamblers. It doesn't sit right. You have to accept the mantra 'easy come, easy go'. In material terms, all you lost was a new Rolex, a decent second-hand Merc or a whole family's entire annual income in many countries. I'm sorry you temporarily lost track of the value of money due to gambling, hope you succeed in never repeating the mistake!
