As a step to create awareness, I've created this thread posting images relative to gambling. Guys post awareness and meme pictures that can help Gamblers limit themselves without taking big risks.

This is just a simple illustration yet the image says it all, the house will always win and if you're greedy you can lose everything.
We have to learn to become more discipline when it comes to gambling, don't spend if you can't afford to lose money and never chase your losses because there's no turning back. Be responsible with your gambling, and just enjoy playing don't make this one as your main source of money.

It doesn't prey on greed in my opinion because if you are gambling then you are already greedy because you want to take your chances on making fast money. Yes discipline does work but it should be accompanied with the help of your relatives or loved ones because gambling addiction like any other addiction needs an emotional support to make the recovery stronger and more effective, and I agree that we should enjoy gambling because a lot of people always forget that very fundamental thing when it comes to gambling because there is money involved.

So this was the full picture, a checked a while ago and the picture was cut out by around two panels.

This is just the real fact and the truth about gambling, gambling companies will never lack but always gain from people, the more people that gamble the more they will gain, that is one of the main reasons people should know gambling is risky. Some people can think they know about gambling and that their case can be different, but no case if different. If you use your property to gamble, you can lose all and most likely to lose all. If you use all your money to gamble, you can lose all, and most likely to lose all. If you use low amount of money to gamble, you can lose too, but this will still be better because you lose something not much, in a way you can not think about it and let you have the right mindset to gamble, and luckily possible a day a jackpot can be won unexpected. We should not use what we can not afford to gamble with.

This is a good illustration that most of us are aware of but no matter we still believe we will win big someday and maybe we will hit that life changing jackpot.This is what keeps us coming back at gambling even knowing the house edge is always there against us.

That images showed how greedy a gambler will be thinking all the wins as easy money. It is still important to have self control even you experience big wins. I do know the feeling of wanting to win more so you bet more but at the end it will be the house that always win.

Anyway, this is one infographic gambling related that Im gonna share;

Really shows how most casino envelop the mind of their players.  To win back their lost, a player can be fixated to it.

For some chronic glambers who find themselves too fixed  to it do which to stop, but in most cases its not that easy.
Below is another example.

Note; below memes are not mine but from the net.

And sometimes the reverse psychology can help.

Nevertheless, if a player knows when to start and stop, he or she has reached an equilibrium balance in gambling.

I'm pretty sure that OP's image isn't specifically gambling, but rather just a scam image instead. The idea kind of looks similar to how gambling works, but gambling is in the end, for entertainment and we as gamblers, are aware that in the long run, casinos will still end up as winners (unlike in scams, you think you're a genius when in fact, you're an idiot). Still, I think it works if we consider how as I said, casinos win in the long run, though the image imposes more of a scam (not to mention people can hit jackpots in casinos).

Made me laugh Lol,  ;D

But I have scrolled 1 hour just to See all the Images Posted by OP haha.

Anyway that's a perfect illustrations of How we become a victim without us noticing this soon, Sometimes it took us a lifetime before finally realizes That House will only Bag our money .

OP the image speaks it all, very impressive and those pictures says the perfect story. Only handful of people can make quick and easy money from it provided they are lucky to make it and considering the others got it and we will also win is the wrong psychology. Just play for enjoyment and you will be good and not fall for it.

The image clearly shows how people fall into gambling and loss everything. The image above shows how perfect is the addiction of the user. The house will bag our money, but with right exit plan one can stay on the safer side. Whether it is gambling or something else, when one gets easy money surely one will go for the big. Here one need to be cautious in handling the scenario.

If we were to expound it, I am sure that we can understand what gambling does to the greedy people in this image. This is an oversimplification of the process of how a greedy gambling addict will spiral into destituteness so there it is understandable that someone might misunderstood it.

The thing is, it is not that gamblers are unaware of this,,, they know this. What these memes need to do is to make more similar comparisons to real life. Show the guy winning things first, and even winning big and how easy it looks. And then losing and then chasing those losses. Like how it always happens to us in gambling;)

Gambling is for fun, not for food.

The picture attached by the OP is a picture of people looking for everything from Gambling, to date, I have never found an ordinary person who got rich from gambling

Greed makes everything messed up, from physical health to mental health when playing gambling.

It's good indeed, a gambler learns about the psychology of playing gambling and financial management so that even if the gambler loses, he doesn't become frustrated.

While at first this one may looks hilarious it really shows how much gambling addiction may induce you to underestimate the importance of what you may lose gambling and often, unlike money, it is something you will never be able to get back.

No long explanation needed, a picture tells a thousand words, graphics and images are powerful tools to get your message across, this is a good explanation it explains that once you think it's easy that's the time you are going to fall, those who manage gambling casinos will make you think that gambling is easy money and quitters will never win, it's a trap that we need to see and understand.

Images have a thousand words ;D

In the end, the house will win all of the money. And like that image, when a gambler does not have anything, he can not continue playing. But many of them still continue to gamble and they borrow money from other people. Be responsible when you gamble. Otherwise, you will lose your money.

Exactly.

It is just normal in human to be greedy and it's too late to realize that you have fall into the trap. You've got to have tons of discipline if you are into gambling and if you can overcome the temptation and greed (which is very hard) chances to be successful in life is high.

I'm a gambler in real life and i'm still in the process where in how could i improve and control my self. I think that there might be a time where everything is enough for me and i need to stop, not because i'm broke but because i'm already contented with my winning.   

The winning odds in gambling is always 1 out of a thousand. This one is the market mover or advert in a way to portray that people could actually win but in the real sense, its another win strategy for the house. When the house loses to a gambler, you can equivalently say the house also won. In that time, they didn't win the stake but, won over some more patronage from both the eye witness gamblers and those to whom stories of a win may attract to the gambling house.
This is why, winnings are readily publicised more than the loses no matter how big a lose would be. A gambling house would never publicise a lose. The few record loses that might be published are often by eye witnesses and somethings the knowledge of the loses comes to light from the reaction of the gambler.

This image simply shows that the gambler who has a lot of funds or assets will always win, why? Simply because the gamblers who has a big pocket to lose on has the greatest game time in which he can afford to lose almost half of his funds and he can easily buyback whenever he wants to, and that's the reality. The gambler who has just a limited asset to bet on will be thinking seriously if he can buyback again whenever he loses and that is also the reason why people keep on having a big debt because on gambling. That's the sad reality.

I believe that's not the message of this meme. Casino is letting someone to win especially those small capital gambler so that the first player will spread how easy to win then trap those next players to bet there all assets since there is already someone who can easily win. This meme just show how greediness of a person can destroy there life in an instant.

Yeah! it's the truth of the matter no matter where we put it. We might hit the jackpot but the reality is keeping us awake all the time we just don't pay heed about it. I think the worst thing you could do is put everything you have in the name of winning big someday and getting everything back and it will never happen until you've done and lost everything you have.

This is a great picture of the reality of gambling, greediness always make you empty, if you are confident to the point that all of your money and properties can be your bet then you will end up losing all of it, always remember that the owners of the gambling won't be the loser, they are the one who gains more money over their customer so be careful and aware for those things.

Great picture. This may look simple and plain but it has so much meaning in it. It is so heavy with the most fundamental reminders to gamblers.

If I may suggest something about it. You may create it into small pictures and make the sequence horizontal, perhaps divide it into two sets. It will be easier to the eyes and will also probably catch more attention. But overall it is already a great piece of meaningful art.

You might also want to share it in your social media accounts.

Whatever the way we create awareness people will fall for it. No doubt in it. Today one of my friend lost more than $14000 in gambling. Myself gave good suggestion not to gamble looking for money or to recover the previous losses. Everything has gone out of hands. Now he stands losing everything. What to do, that too he played with the loan amount thats been bought for the purpose of investing.

$14000 that's a pretty large amount. May I ask you on which gambling game did he lose his money? It was at a brick and mortar casino or online? Did he play with crytpos or fiat currencies? When you gamble with cryptos or casino chips you often lose awareness of the value of what you are gambling unfortunately.

It was on an online casino. The game being played is dice. Now his mind is full of ending life. I don't know what is gonna happen by today night. The game is played with cryptocurrency and what you said is correct. When playing it is impossible to know what value of money we're risking.

Awts! That's insane especially the money came from a loan to invest to other purposes but suddenly it's been use out of hands.

Losing into gambling is really unpredicatable once the person/gamblers lose control with emotions, greed and aggressions dictates
a person's mindsets.

You said it right, better to find other ways and not to chase your loses into the same venue, but instead try to work or do other
investment to chase your luck who knows those losses might recover back just not to rush things out.

A good and innovative way to tell people about gambling by creating some educational memes on it as they will understand few things in a fun way.So I am also going to share some images on it.The gamblers need to know that greed will lead them in loss of more and more funds  instead of winning and house will always win out of their loss or win which is why they don't have to worry about it.There are no such perfect strategies by which you can always win which is another important factor to understand.

Try to learn from your past mistakes and bet only upto that limit which you afford to loose otherwise you will become addict to it and continue to suffer loss.

I do agree that marketing is the biggest part of casinos and gambling world, it's obvious that people are gambling and falling for these kinds of things and it's a sad situation, I wish that people didn't lose money this way but they will always lose to it as long as gambling is around.

I have talked about how gambling should be something that people can do for just entertainment and people never listen to me, why would they listen to some stranger on the internet? This is why I think it's quite obvious that there will always be people who will fell for the house edge deal.

Casinos are not lying about it neither, some people like me who knows that gambling is something you will lose your money anyway and they get mad at casinos for "stealing" money that way, but casinos always talk about the house edge and they never lie about it to anyone, it is gamblers who lose the money, there is no stealing and casinos are doing nothing wrong.

There is no dedicated hotline for gambling addicts in your country? If you or your friend feels really bad this night, you should talk to someone, a friend or a relative and tomorrow go to a psychiatric physician as soon as you can. Losing is not end of life, it is part of life, some people lose their house within a fire, other lose their legs ...

I appreciate the initiative but in reality, any meme images won't really help any gamblers to limit themselves because after all "it doesn't mean that a gambler is not responsible just because they are always reaching their limits".

A responsible gambler is not just controlling the limit but on how they worked on a good source of money that they are using in doing gambling. These are called good money and not a type of money that came from irresponsible acts.

And for casual gamblers, they aren't really the type of gamblers that needs some advice since I know they already know how to stop as their bankroll is limited.
