Bitcoin Forum

Gambling gambling gambling everywhere there are gamblers everywere either online or shops and some gamblers are not happy to be one because they are addicted to it, now come to the present day question, how do you feel after making a stake? People on these forum mostly gambling board, lot of people here do say we should use spare money to make a bet (stake) but we all know that there is nothing like a spare money if people save money for future use I don't think a well thinking person will also save money for gambling, I think everybody who gambled sometimes does not know when they are in a gambling shops, just imagine you're about to check your past bets and you find your self about to stake another, please don't see it the other way round.
So if you use our saved money to stake a bet, what really comes next to your mind? I will like us to talk about this.

This is why I don't like recording my bets online.
Spare money means spare money. It's the money that you can afford to lose. It's the money that won't hurt your feelings even if you lose it and it's also the amount that would not lead you to regrets that you will remember even in the future.
But it doesn't mean you are ready to lose it if you make a bet. You still make the effort to win games that you are playing on a betting site either a casino game or sports betting.
I won't be using my saved money, that has another purpose. If you think you can just afford to lose $5 - $10 then do so. No one will tell you that you are cheap because no one will know. What's good today is gambling sites don't really have a high minimum bet which is cool for those who are betting cheap amounts and just doing it for an addition to the excitement of the game or just to have a little fun playing slots or any of their favorite gambling games.
Imagine playing all those without money involved, it will be damn boring.

It's not the way you say it, using spare money or saving money for gambling does not literally mean you have to buy a little piggy bank start putting money in other to get money for gambling. There are times when. You just have money and you'll be very sure that you won't be using that money anytime soon, that's what they mean by spare money if there's a possibility of you using the money you possess anytime soon then it's safe to not use it for gambling.

That's why as a gambler you should have a good bankroll management system set up so that you won't end up spending everything on your gambling account.


I sense gambling addiction here, when incident like this happens its mostly a sign of gambling addiction but for one who is conscious of his gambling activities would never go to a gambling shop or gambling account online and all of a sudden starts to place a bet. That's no how it works although sometimes you might find an interesting game that you want to stake om but it's not the same as staking unconsciously.



Depends, if you used a money you saved that could have been used for tlother things to place a bet there's a high chance that you'll be anticipating wins, but if the money was something you could do without and you are sure that you went to your gambling account for the sole purpose of having fun, even if your predictions turns out bad you won't feel a thing. Unlike when your sole purpose is to earn some cash through gambling.

@OP Gambling everywhere does not mean you need to be present in every other location to gamble. If you think you do need to then you should not read my reply.



I sense a chronic addict with a rant and confession of what happened in the past. Does not want to see the recorded video but still goes back to analyze the problem. In order to find the reason for the loss OP created this thread. Thinking some of us here would reveal our dark secrets, that might help him to understand the mistake.  

Lol  ;D :D :D you are not serious, before I say anything I will like to ask you, please are you a gambler or do you really have a spare saving money? Because I am not sure that anybody have a spare money but I can agree that spare monies are the money you won from gambling unknowingly true or false?

Whenever I place a bet I consider this amount of money lost,of course my hopes to win the bet are really high and the feeling good from the dopamine after posting the bet is there but I consider this amount lost money.I do not ever play with saved money,only side money which if I lose them I am not that sad at all.Also the money I win from gambling is in an isolated wallet and it keeps going back at gambling unless I hit a super big win and that withdraw goes directly to my main wallet which I then hold or exchange it online depending on my needs.

You idea is quite okay but you have the money and I don't think anybody can manage your savings except you do it your self

If you save just 5% or less of your weekly income to gamble, that is savings and a budget for gambling that can not affect your financial life.

On this forum, there are many punters and the only way to educate ourselves is to let others know how we gamble responsibly, making profit and loss and yet still not affected by gambling because we gamble responsibly. It is not good to be addicted at all.

One of the thing I see very useful about gambling on this gambling board is the education we give ourselves on gambling addiction. It is really worth it. If you know that you are becoming addicted to gambling, it is better to just quit.

What you're doing is already breaking the principle of responsible gambling. Spending your savings on gambling means you're risking money that you cannot afford to lose. When you experience losses, it can significantly impact your life going forward. It's important to follow preventive measures as they help reduce the risks associated with gambling.

Always remember that gambling is only for individuals who can afford it.

Using spare money literally doesn't mean you need to save for gambling purpose, it's all about using an amount within your possession that wouldn't affect your pocket or you as a gambler won't feel it if you gamble and lose. And making a record of your bet history is what I'll describe as a bad idea cause it can only lead to two circumstances:
1. Regret when you look back to how much you may have lost to gambling which if gathered could have been used for some meaningful project in your life development.
2. Oh no I can't remember the second circumstance but, I guess you all know the rest....lolz

There is spare money, It's the money left in your account that you don't use aside from savings. If you don't have this kind of money and you consider untouched money as savings then it means that your financial capacity doesn't give you spare money. Having spare money depends on your financial management and status.

If you use your savings money then you will really feel guilty when you lose.

Have you forgotten that what ever amount of money either big or small amount that's goes out of your pocket without bringing more or add something to you is call waistage money? The only money we can use to bet is a free money and not hard earned.

The thing is very simple here, it's been said that only gamble with the amount of money you ca be able to afford to loose, which means that if you're having money with you and it's your business money or someone else money, don't gamble with it, make use of your extra earned money, maybe from the realized profits you made, use part of it to gamble and always have it in mind that you could loose the same money when you missed the game, you're not advised to save your money in other to use it for gambling, only gamble with the money you can afford to loose.


That one is left for you the gambler, it's lies on your rate of being disciplined and how desperate you could appear to gamble everytime you have such opportunity, eventually you may be classified as an addicted gambler in doing this, you should know the logic behind gambling, it's not about you trying to gamble again, but does the conditions attached there warrant for such, do you actually have the money to gamble or you want to risk others people's money with you because of your addiction, in this case the gambler have to be emotionally controlled if not will end up where he least expect through gambling.

Everyone who is involved in the world of gambling, if interpreted has a broad understanding and a long meaning, depending on their main purpose for gambling, whether they use reserve money, savings and so on.

In theory gambling can make money, by making bets, of course based on the capital the money you want to bet on, that trait is common in the minds of everyone who wants to make bets, many of our friends use money from other sources to bet and hope to win, but what's called gambling we can't predict after using saved money to bet whether we can win or not, that's the problem, facts and also from some researchers gambling using money of any type, the main goal is to win, regardless of the risks that will be faced, both good and bad.

Gambling is an activity that is carried out because someone is sure and chooses gambling as a place for them to get pleasure, satisfaction or even some who expect profit.
Every gambler must have a sense of satisfaction when betting and they get adrenaline which is quite fun, plus when they win, satisfaction is really so proud, it's just that there are some who actually regret it a little when they lose.
For money in gambling, it's not really about reserve money, but money that can actually be received when you lose.
No one would suggest gambling using saved money because that will only lead you into trouble in the future. It's better to set aside a little money from working or doing business for gambling, so that way you don't have to worry about losing the money that has been arranged for future.

We hope to win. That's the point of gambling so far. If you are optimistic all time time you will definitely keep trying and come up with strategy not to lose a lot of course. If you have played rock, paper, scissors your objective is to outsmart the other party by thinking which will be his next cast. They can come up a strategy with this.

Winning makes you profit. Gamblers will find something to reason and justify their gambling. Why save when you can profit when you get lucky.

Well no, rock, paper, scissors is a game of skill not a game of luck. Its all about that split microsecond where you can see your opponents move unfolding and you have exactly that microsecond of time to make your decision of which counter-move to make. Gambling wins can also make you profit but unfortunately you will not be in control of whether you have a higher chance of winning or not. Unless of course we are talking about sports betting. With sports betting at least you can do some research on the players and so on. More research in that regard does give you a higher chance to win.

But gambling games like slots? You are completely relying on luck. And the probability is shifted against you in the house's favor.

I love the emphasis of "allocating money for gambling" or in another term; only bet the amount of money you are willing to lose.. I think the most important part here is following your budget. You get to have the discipline to follow when you will gamble, how much you are allowed to bet, and when will you stop gambling. Because when you ave those things, you are tempt to get in the addictive type of gambling. The complete opposite of profitable gambling.

So yes, when you feel the impulsiveness to gamble bets after bets, that's a signal for yourself.

Bets that have passed the culture have passed and there is no need to record it again just to be used as a reference for bigger bets. There is no problem using the funds that are owned even if they are not deposit funds, because gamblers come with uncertain conditions. I wonder if there are people who still check their past bets as if these wins and losses need to be chased again. Keep in mind if you really want to gamble, forget about the bets you have lost, and start over from the beginning, like the first time you bet.

One thing for sure, in general, is that you can't get rich by saving your spare money or using your spare money for gambling. So if you have spare money, use it for whatever things that make you happy...

What I mean by spare money is probably different from other people, to me spare money is your income minus:
- Daily needs
- Expenses & bills
- Leisure & hobbies
- Charity & tithe/zakat
- Emergency fund
- Investment plan

Therefore if you haven't had the above covered, you don't actually have spare money ;)

I love betting online. Gambling is a bad thing according to some people, by gambling online I can make bets without other people knowing and can prevent other people's bad opinion of me personally.

And when I had a little savings, I had no idea what the money was for, because if I used it as business capital the money would not be enough and I decided to put this little money at stake in online gambling. Even though in reality I experienced defeat and that little money was gone without remainder, it was very difficult for me to leave online gambling.

Although I am aware that losing a bet will make me feel bad, after I have placed a wager, I find that my mind is never racing. Why? I don't spend a lot of money gambling since I don't intend to or use it as a means of making money. When I gamble, I consider the possibility that I could lose or win, so I don't feel anything, as opposed to waiting for the conclusion and observing how much I bet.


Do we not need to save money primarily for gambling? What is true is that once you are aware that you are a gambler, you should have a financial strategy in place, i.e., know how you intend to spend your money. But as we all know, unless a person is completely dependent on making bets every day, no one can save money for gambling. That is the moment I believe you should put money aside for gaming, but for people who are not addicted and can gamble whenever they want, I do not believe that is necessary.


It's funny to say that someone doesn't know when he occasionally visits a gaming shop. How did you expect him to get there if he didn't know he was heading there? I don't think he's blind. If it's me, and I'm aware that whenever I visit a gambling shop—whether online or off—I must avoid saving my bets, I think it will stop someone from even developing an addiction.

People that are addicted should have themselves to blame for that, gambling sites are not forcing anyone to gamble, and they always warn people to gamble responsibly, so people that are addicted to gambling knows what they want that makes them addicted. Gambling sites are everywhere both online and offline but people are just trying to establish their business and you can’t stop them from doing that, if you are a gambler and you want to be happy when gambling, then train yourself not to be a addicted gambler, then you will be happy, but if you are addicted then you will always be feeling sad, because you might be losing money always and the amount you will be losing might be much.

Think of this "spare" money for gambling purposes as what's left after you've deducted the necessary expenses. I personally treat it as additional expenses before savings. There are people who save some money for "recreational" purpose and they consider playing at physical or online casinos as part of that.

First of all, not all gamblers are addicted into gambling. I don't quite get it, are you against gamblers? 'coz if not what's the need to ask? People do things on their initiative. Before gamblers start their careers in this industry, we already know the risk and tendency of addiction but we still did. Losing is a part of the game and if you cannot simply take it  then you are for sure not for this industry. It is okay to be sad about a losing bet but to regret is nonsense. Why did you gamble in the first place? 'coz you'd be wrong if you are just expecting for a win-win situation in every bet. Go with saving your money if you cannot handle the risk in gambling.

Most of the bets I place are mostly for fun, and in my view, it's the same as spending money on amusement parks and arcades. Even if I don't spend it on gambling, that money will still go to another source of entertainment. I don't feel any regret when looking back at my past bets since I know to myself that it's the amount i'm okay spending regardless of the outcome. Your advice might be helpful to other gamblers since not everyone is aware of what is too much and sometimes they can't stop themselves from the same mistakes.

Most people I know use their side money, like some extra after bills, and used in gambling. But the people I don't like are those who are asking for money from other people and are trying to make more money by loaning it from other people. The one I don't like about is using their children to lie and make it an excuse. It's a problem if you see someone that addicted and making their children as their reason to ask for money. People like that probably won't save money and will gamble it all away.

The things that are going through their mind are probably making more money by using money in gambling. That's entirely it. That's their motivation, probably.

Spare money,is the money that isn't of important to you i.e you can give it out or you don't need it. If you use such money to gamble,if you don't win it wouldn't bother you  because you can let go of it. Gambling activities should be limited to maybe twice a week or thrice a week,it all depends on individuals. You must not always start thinking about gambling in your head most time,because if you do that,you might end up seeing yourself in a casino and before you know it,you will see yourself placing a bet because you lack self-control. Betting at a time when you don't intend betting can lead one to addiction.

So you are saying everyone is just concerned about future financial security and saving for it?

I don't think so, if you were right then there will be no business around entertainment industry but the fact is entertainment industry is one of the huge turn over every year which implies that people are ready to spend money apart from future and the same goes to gambling as well, who wanted to bet doing it which doesn't makes them to be addicted to it.

After making a bet, or staking some money, I do not feel bad but expectant that I may win some money. If anyone feels bad after they stake, It means it is something that they should not be doing maybe because the money in use for gambling could have been put into better use for pending expenses.

Spare money means money that you have not budgeted for other use, or the money left after you have settled your expenses.

If you no longer can control yourself from gambling, it is a case of addiction already and you need to find help if you want to change.

My feelings after gambling were normal because I only considered gambling as entertainment. Even if I get a big win, my feelings won't be too happy because that can make me forget to enjoy the results. I think it is gambling with free money and not with spare money because spare money means money that we have set up to use when we need it. But if it is free money, it means that the money is not for us to use for anything. And that's exactly what we have to do before we start gambling so we won't experience too many losses.

It is about creating a budget and sticking to it, to be honest. Spare money exists, but it is relative to each person, their income and how it is managed.
On the other hand, saving money for gambling is a concept which I have not heard about, however, knowing how big the world is and the amount of active gamblers out there, it would not be surprising to find one who actually save money in order to gamble in Las Vegas or in other places, for example.

We would not rule out those possibilities as false, we must remain open-minded, so we can learn more about the world of gambling and sport betting and what we are and are not supposed to do.

We have people that save money for gambling and for other activities that bring entertainment to their life like going for concerts and vocation etc. If you aren't saving for things that you want to do you should start now because it's very helpful as you to stay on budget.

You can save for gambling just as you saved for other things, when you save for gambling, you won't touch the money meant for other things and it prevents you from over gambling and exceeding your budget limit. The advise to use spare money isn't a joke so listen to it.

Gambling is a very profitable business for the owners that's why we have many gambling sites online and casinos as well. People needs things to take their mind of reality and gambling can do that as it present the possible of winning big money which everyone dreams of.

If you gamble two or three times a week, then how would you like not to think about gambling you will do it automatically, in addition, I think that with such a frequent game sooner or later you will get a gambling addiction, if you do not already have it. In my opinion to play gambling should not be more than 2-3 times a month. Otherwise you will have to spend not only free money)

You're wrong about people that do gamble with spare money. It's really possible to gamble even if you're saving, that's why it's always a tip to the majority that you should only gamble with what you afford to lose.

And the feeling after betting and then the result is a win, that's the best feeling but if it's the opposite. It's up to you on how you'll take that feeling but at most times, you just have to move on and decide whether to try again or just stop.

If you're an experienced gambler, it's not going to be a problem to you because you know your situation and how to control yourself.

Gambling is an activity that you will never encounter around you, especially if you live in a country where gambling is legal, so don't be surprised by this phenomenon.  anyway, one of the activities that i avoid is keeping track of my losses and wins in gambling, i feel that it will burden me, especially if it turns out that from all my gambling activities that i do, i don't get any profits! but losing, it will only add to my mind's burden.

However, some financial experts recommend that gamblers record the cash flow they get from gambling every month, the goal is to stop gambling or just reduce its intensity.

If you follow a budget, then this should not be an issue. If you can manage to live your day-to-day life with that budget while saving some money, then that money becomes your spare money. For those who are unable to live day-to-day life with their income, then gambling is not for them! Because then they will have no spare money. Some professional gamblers take it seriously, and they separate their income to a savings for future gamble. Non-professional does not have that and what they use is what is left after all the expenses has been covered.

It is not wise to say that they do not have spare money for gambling. If they do not have it, why would they gamble? Doesn't make sense, right? And those who use their budget money for gambling will be in a lot of trouble. After taking some losses, they will either leave it or try to save separate money to gamble in the future.

I have seen many people gamble using only what they have saved for their gambling. How do they do it when you say that there's no such thing as spare money?

OP you need to learn how to arrange your post with the necessary punctuation. Your post is difficult to read and understand. Having said that, when people talk about spare cash it means budgeted funds that can be used for gambling and it will not affect the needs and savings of the individual. I don't gamble with my savings but with an insignificant part of my income that I can call my share cash.
Don't ever use your saved funds to gamble. Saved funds are designed for investment, uncertainties, and other genuine activities. It will be very difficult to endure the loss of your savings. If I use my savings for gambling, which is unlikely, I will be restless and if I lose the regret will last for a long time. But if I will big, it will also be an unforgettable experience.

These days I mainly take bets with spare cash and it feels normal and neutral to me because I made my peace a long time that gambling is a zero-sum game. Knowing that, I only use money that won't lead me down spiraling into a depression or mental breakdown.



This is paramount. Under no circumstances should money meant for other important things be used for gambling activities. If this rule is broken, it has very unfriendly repercussions.

If I want to save my money to just gamble it, of course, my mind is set to just gamble it, nothing else. But to be honest, that's not what I'm thinking or doing, I may save money for future use but I won't just save it for the sake of just gambling that's too unwise. Maybe save a little portion of it and the other is to invest that may give you returns.

Gambling is something I enjoy doing from time to time and I don't mind spending a bit on it to have fun with friends. It's similar to going outside and spending money at a restaurant, buying food, or anything else. Even though I know some people may use their money for other forms of entertainment but for certain people gambling serves as a huge source of entertainment and they're willing to spend a considerable amount of money on it just to have fun and maybe earn some money.

However, I'm not referring to people who believe they can get rich through gambling or those who are addicted to it as I find that not good and not something I personally support to be honest.

Checking past bets is the most ridiculous thing gamblers do, there is no need to remember or double check money that has been spent while betting. Just let the money that has been spent buy entertainment for yourself, even though you often lose when gambling, at least there is satisfaction to be gained.

Using cold money to gamble is clearly the wrong decision, cold money in my opinion is like a deposit for the future. You need to find extra income to allocate some money for gambling, financial management needs to be managed properly so you don't spend money that should be used for other needs.

What it seems you do not understand is that spare money is any money left after you pay for all the services, products, taxes, savings and even a luxury or two you may want to buy for yourself, since not everything is living your life as if you are playing a monopoly game, so once I have done all of that whatever money is left that is my spare money that I can use as I see fit, and as such if I lose it my financial situation is not affected at all by those losses.

It's good to know that some people are not happy about their gambling addiction, because their are others who are not even aware of their addiction to it and have seen it as a part of their normal lifestyle, well acknowledging an addiction is a thing and working towards it is another thing, but the best way to handle addiction instead of being emotional about it is seeking help from therapist or other alternatives that would help them  minimise their interest for gambling, also people react differently based on the outcome of their stake and not before the outcome,because i see no reason to be joyful or sad when I've not known the outcome of my predictions.
 When saving people also make plans for other activities apart from feeding, rent and other bills it could be for entertainment and gambling can be a form of entertainment, however it is very wise to gamble with a spare cash and In gambling it is considered as the money  whether little or huge amount you'll be willing to lose without feeling very remorseful, I belive that's why some people feel gambling is meant for the rich or middle class because poor people have no money they'll be willing to lose, but that statement is considered partially right by me because since gambling involves risk taking, there are some poor peole that would be willing to risk the little they have to stake on games knowing they stance a 50/50 chances of winning.

Who say's we're saving money for gambling? Lol that's not the point of "gambling only what you can afford to lose" you literally only gamble with what's in excess out of your pocket and not dedicated a bankroll on it or something cause that in itself is grounds for becoming addicted to gambling. I don't know about the other peeps in this forum but I never go so far as to dedicate money from my budget to fulfill my gambling habits cause that's just stupid and excessive.

For the most part I don't feel anything about it, no regret or remorse cause at the end of the day, it's money that I willingly spent and something that didn't come out of my savings or whatnot.

Every person tries to always have extra money in his wallet. Such money is called free money and can be spent as a sudden unexpected expenses or for entertainment. By and large, many people do not care what the money is spent on, if with their help you can get the desired emotions. And everyone's entertainment is different - someone likes to drink beer in the evening, someone likes to spend the night with a prostitute, and someone can not go to bed until he throws dice.

Perhaps you are projecting, or at the very least you need to install a decent adblocker on your browser if you're constantly seeing gambling content. The algorithms that companies like Google use are super sophisticated and if they see that you're doing a lot of searching for gambling type sites then you will get lots of adverts that are subtly connected. However I don't see gambling ads, or at least don't acknowledge them enough, when looking around but perhaps I'm not watching the sort of content that has gambling sites in it. I do recall that lots of football clubs, and now even formula 1, is starting to have an influx of such adverts but if the clubs are willing to pay tens of millions to players then it has to come from somewhere.

You've got that right. Spare money gives you  lot of leverage to gamble without having to struggle with your thoughts.

Of course there is and on the contrary,
Spare money gambling is what a concerned or thinking mind would do. To be able to separate vital aspects of his or her finance from that which is gor leisure.

I think te problem here is largely misinterpretation of concept.
Your mixing things up and that's the cause of your confusion.

There exists a huge difference between your savings and spare money.
Savings: this could be a money set aside for emrgencies and future investments.
Spare money: this could be money set aside for undefined expenses or expenditure.

One has to do with life saving and threaten situations while the other just comes to play when your met with intricacies that wasn't predetermined.

If you bet monthly 0,5% or 0,25% of your total earning... Is this amount that you cannot afford to lose or not?
Of course assuming that you will lost everything...
What about time spent and halving fun? And what about the potential win related to bet? Isnt worth ? Well Just stop betting of your answer Is no ;)

This does not make sense...  gambling addicts are supposed to be pumped when they are gambling or accessing gambling platform.  Since they are gambling addicts, all they have in mind is the urge to gamble.



I feel fine, since I am only using the fund that I am afford to lose.



Non-addicted gamblers see gambling as a source of entertainment, so just like saving money for an outing or watching movies, these people are also saving money for their gambling activity.  The reason is that people allocate a budget for gambling so that they have separate allocations for their activities.


Nothing comes to my mind since I never regret my actions using my funds that is free during that time for gambling.  Only people who can't afford to lose their funds are regrettable and if they are that person, they should stay away from gambling.

I have come across a similar question on this board and you guys are sharing the same wrong orientation about the phrase "use the money you can afford to lose" or "use spare money". What these two phrase means is very simple, don't use the money you can make you feel bad or decision of been use for gambling, as a gambler every player has a spending limit and broke limit, we have money that we can let go of without feeling anything but it is subjective, I can spare $10 to gamble but your capacity may be bigger than my own and may spare upto $50 just to gamble.

I think when we save money, they are meant for important stuff right except may be for miscellenous stuff, sing your saved money to gamble kills switched the fun of gambling, no way a gambler will say that he is having a fun with money that is so important, there is going to be a discomfort, you will get anxiety throught the event and if the game doesn't goes out as plan, you will hate gambling for the rest of your life.

I disagree with you on this OP,do you mean that when you pay money to watch a movie in the cinema to entertain yourself is a waste ? Because the money is gone and wouldn't yield any income. There are some fun that we need to pay for so that we can have it,this is how gambling is. It is when you put it in your mind that you want to make profit from gambling that is when we can say all your loss is a waste of money,because you use money made for some important issues to gamble.

I don't understand this statement. There is no free money anywhere. What made it free,as an adult you don't except anyone to give you money before you can gamble. What about gamblers that set aside 5% of their weekly or monthly income for gambling. Don't get it twisted every gambler gambles with his hard earned money that is why you must have self-control in your gambling activities.

On the time that you are already saving up money for the sake of gambling then consider yourself to be an addicted person because no on on their right minds on doing such act on making that savings just for them to play.

There's no doubt that everyone could really be able to play considering  that we do have that kind of accessibility which is something that would really be normal. It is really just depending on a certain person on how
he/she would really be dealing up with things on the time that he would really be able to encounter. If you are really that on your right perception or approach on things then you would really be doing gambling
basing up on the time that you are getting bored or have nothing to do and just making use of that spare money of yours and doesnt really tend on going into a point on which making up savings for the benefit of
something like this.

In the case that you would really be having this kind of behavior then it would really be turning out that you would really be having gradual addiction which might cause up more serious problem later on.

In the digital age, gambling has become a trend as commonplace entertainment. we can see, there are many online casino sites, both legal and illegal. in fact we have lots of crypto casinos, both in the community and outside the community. You can play anywhere, the most important thing is that you play at a trusted casino that has a credible license and reputation. but most importantly, you are very aware that gambling involves risks. the most common risk, the money you bet is lost because of losing. the worst, you become an addict if you do not have self-control and responsibility. yep, it's that simple.

If, you calculate the losses you have suffered so far. ideally just stay away from gambling, because you will suffer just thinking about it. to be honest, i am well aware that i have spent a lot of money in the past with gambling. but I have changed the concept of thinking now, think of gambling as just part of a hobby that gives you entertainment on the sidelines after work activities. you can think of it as a medium for relaxation, by spending just a few dollars and according to your means. thus, you will not be pressured by an idea that you questioned in this thread.

I barely find your writeup easy to comprehend. I can see how you were moving from different thoughts running through your head to make sure you gather all your thoughts about gambling. Are you asking if the money we saved and finally use part of it to gamble, what do we expect? I believe no one will gamble with there hard earned money and nit expect goo ld results from the game the bet on. We are always Optimistic about our bets hoping for us to win them so need smile can come to our face again. We are always happy whenever we win on the games we bets on because that's what keeps  us going as a gambler.

I never said to use spare money but only said that just use unused money, aka money that you get from another job, for example a kind of bonus if you work or something other than basic salary, for example I am a worker usually get bonuses because I am diligent so usually I use the bonus money to gamble not on the main salary for the necessities of life with my small family.

I'm also not a gambler who likes to check my online gambling history, how much has been spent before, besides, it's not important, I also don't expect the money that has been lost to come back because I gamble just for fun and not a gambler who is concerned with money, especially looking for victory, I happen to be just a small gambler so the main thing is to limit the gambling budget is very important. don't have to gamble every time just on weekends just use my cell phone.

Yes gambling gambling gambling everywhere gambling. Now a days gambling is very popular. Huge people involving in gambling. It is also true now many people  addicted in gambling. People are playing maany kinds of bet. But thy are not educated about gambling so they lossing theri valuable fund. People are going gambling shop and playing bet. I think if anyone learn a about gambling he wil Profitable from gambling.

You should see where I live.  I live in the United States, more specifically Illinois. The State government here decided to legalize certain aspects of gambling about 3 years ago.  Sports gambling is one thing they legalized (with KYC rules and what not) but the main thing they legalized were gambling "parlors" where just about every strip mall ,gas station and hotel in the state (some cities decided against it, as they have the legal right) has a slot machine "parlor".  You hear about it all over the radio as well.  It's crazy how quickly thing changed, as just a few year ago gambling here as a big "no no".

If you are an addict to this act you won't really feel anything and won't even accept the fact that you are going beyond the sanity of you actually gambling, an addicted person finds it really difficult to know that their addiction is really causing them problem. I had a friend who at every time feels like he should just be busy with gambling online and he also said these words to me variously as he stated that "GAMBLING MAKES ME FEEL RELAXED and I don't know how true this is but I just feel he is fucking addicted but don't know it yet because he always has series of excuses for very stake he made and feels the next one he will correct it and same circle keep continuing without him.

Don't make your gambling experience too technical and complicated.

Regardless if that money used in gambling came from so-called "spare money" and as you mentioned there's no such thing as spare money (I partially agree with you on that) it all depends on how responsible you are during your gambling session.

Spared money, saved money, money that you can afford to lose, etc., or whatever terms you want to name it, that is all useless if you are not responsible for managing it. In the world of gambling, managing properly the bankroll is the key to taking our gambling session in the long run without harming directly our own money in our pocket.

Gambling is really a big problem that so many persons are facing,and I am an example to that because I can count so many times I have tried stoping it,but I just can't.sometimes I come to think that gambling can have an attachment to spirituality,but at thesame time I still see that it's just addiction.I can say that I regret the day I knew how to gamble,and it was a friend that showed me.So many persons try to give ways of stopping it,but I can say that when one is addicted,there is nothing you can do about it,and you can't help it but to continue gambling even when you see that you are loosing your mind because of it.Uptill now,I have not still seen a permanent remedy to stoping gambling,and if there is,I will definitely be the first to get it.Only avoiding a casino shop,or getting rid of any app that has to do with is not enough to stop one from gambling.

You're taking it the wrong way...
"For the fact that you don't smoke doesn't make smokers bad people...it doesn't also make it an Ill act" think about it... What if you did gamble regularly like most of these peeps you speak of? Would you condemn the act of saving up to gamble?
Secondly, it's good and also bad to keep gambling records/receipts/placards... Good in the sense that it'll make you mindful of how much goes out in the wild,..bad in the sense that you're gonna get pissed and try to recover them, losses more in the Process.
