[00:02] all to find out if it was really possible to profit from it, or if it was true what they say, that it makes you win the first time and then you lose everything. Honestly, this experience happened to me years ago, but I decided to share it today because of one thing: I received an email on Gmail offering a collaboration with a
[00:17] woman who wants me to make a video just talking about the game, and I'll get a very respectable amount of money. This game is very well-known in the Middle East, and I'm sure you all know it. But when I saw the game's name, my heart skipped a beat because games are part of my story. My story began the first time I tried to make
[00:30] money when I was still in middle school. I was just a young boy with an extraordinary curiosity; I loved trying everything. I always asked myself why some people win easily and others don't. Then one day, I saw my friends talking about a game, and one of them managed to make 300 Egyptian pounds in a day, while another
[00:43] literally said he made 500 Egyptian pounds. Today, my friend told me, "Why don't you try doing that, man? You'll have money like us and stuff." And that was my first mistake. Friends can influence you, so you have to choose the friends you stick with. I went home, turned on the computer, typed in the game's name,
[00:59] registered, created an email, and topped up my account for the first time in my life. It was a betting game, and it was like playing cards where you play with multiple people, and whoever has the highest hand wins. But at the time, I didn't really understand the game. I spent the first day learning everything
[01:12] about it until, at the end of the day, I actually started playing with the money I'd topped up. And that was the first time in my life I won more than 1000 Egyptian pounds in one day! This was years ago, so now it's like making 100,000 Egyptian pounds in one day. I honestly couldn't believe it.
[01:27] I bought everything I wanted. I was inviting my friends over, and I had money I didn't know what to do with.  At that moment, I felt like the world had opened a door to my secrets, but I didn't know that what was coming would be one of the worst moments of my life. What I didn't understand was that this wasn't just a game; it was literally a
[01:41] psychological system designed by psychologists to steal from you before it stole your money. This system is called the dopamine loop. Every time you win, or even come close to winning, your brain releases a hormone called the happiness hormone. This hormone is released when you achieve something
[01:56] good in your life, whether it's succeeding at something or accomplishing something positive. However, if this hormone is released in excess, it will turn its benefit into harm because the brain is literally used to a certain level of dopamine. The problem with people
[02:10] who play this game is that they train their brains to receive very high levels of dopamine every time. They become accustomed to this level, which is why they go back, not just for the money, but also because... play or even when they win. As for me, I thought I wanted to make up for
[02:25] what I lost, but in reality, I wanted to feel that same feeling again. Unfortunately, after a feel that same feeling again. Unfortunately, after a while, I started recharging again and again, to the point that I was literally in a vicious cycle I couldn't get out of. I probably stayed in that cycle for a year.
[02:38] The money I should have spent on myself and my life, I was spending on the game. Sometimes I even took money meant for lessons to spend on the game. A few days ago, a friend told me that a relative of his died because he was playing a game and had a
[02:52] decided to take a small amount. Unfortunately, as soon as he put it in his mouth, he spat it out, but some of it went down his stomach. He went to the hospital and passed away. The
[03:05] God have mercy on him. As for my story, after playing this game one day, I suddenly made more than 100,000 Egyptian pounds in a single day. I want to tell you that this was years ago, so now it's literally like I
[03:18] made 100 pounds or 600,000 pounds. That money could have bought me a machine and left over, or even gold, which at that moment could have been worth more than 100,000 pounds. That's a huge amount for me, especially at my age. I was supposed to tell myself to stop and
[03:32] not continue, but like I said, your mind tells you to keep going, to take one more spin. I decided to take one last spin, and I literally lost everything: my money, my time, and even myself. What hurt me wasn't losing my money; it was losing myself. I felt empty,
[03:47] sad, and even helpless. But at that moment, thank God, He saved me. I found myself.  I was looking for anything to fill that void, and that's when I discovered parkour. It was a
[04:11] difference was that this time it was real effort and real exertion. Every time I learned a new move, I felt that same feeling again. I practiced this sport for more than five years, to the point that, thank God, I became somewhat of a professional parkour athlete. I completely distanced myself from the gambling game I used to play and
[04:25] focused on something beneficial for myself. Years later, when I received the advertisement from the gambling game, I honestly had two options. First, I wanted to options. First, I wanted to
[04:38] receive a very respectable amount of money. At that point, I thought to myself, "Otherwise, I'll get the money, and it won't matter to me what people think or if I'm actually doing the right thing." But honestly, I was afraid of hypocrisy. sake of my conscience, or because of what people might say? Bravo, you're a respectable man, but the truth is that no
[04:53] one is perfect. We're all full of sins, but the difference is intention. Oh God, I want to avoid hypocrisy, but I decided to make this video not because I'm an angel or anything like that, but so that maybe just one of you will think before taking a step like this and think literally before losing yourself
[05:06] in this trap. Because these games will make you feel like you're winning, but the truth is you're losing yourself, your money, and literally everything. This video isn't against this game, but it's also against the idea of ​​the easy way, because the easy way always tempts you, but it will never get you there. Always remember that what comes
[05:21] easily goes easily. So thanks for watching, and I hope you liked the video. Peace.
