I've a friend of mine who always complain that ever since he started gambling he haven't won a good amount, instead he'll be winning less money than what he expected but he can't stop. So I'm asking what do you suggest he should do at this case. For me I told him that he should know that gambling it's a game of risk and luck, but with the constant betting you might win the amount you've at mind someday. So what are your suggestions towards this.

He is very lucky that he is winning small amount of money and not losing more. If he is looking for ways to win more, that can lead him to losing more money. Or is he losing money is what you want to say?

There is no better strategy than the gambling site winning more money from their customers. Tell him not to be greedy and be gambling as he is gambling. If truly he is winning small amount of money, it is better than losing.

So you went ahead and gave your friend the wrong advise, huh?  ::)

When you can see that a person is getting addicted to gambling and is losing money constantly while not being able to get away from it, you are not supposed to encourage them to do that more, you are supposed to ask them to stop doing that because gambling is all about luck and if their luck isn't working, they shouldn't try hard because nothing will happen. It's not a door that is stuck and will open if you push it harder.

You shouldn't have told him that he will manage to win what he is looking to win some day because that might not happen. There are millions of gamblers in the world and I'm sure about 98% of them are gambling to hit something that will change their lives, but how many of them manage to get that? Not even 5% of the total, and that is a very low number.  :)

Tell your friend to be happy that at least he's winning. Tell him that they are some persons who bets and do not even win at all. I don't know what game he bet on but tell him that if it is the game of chance like slots , that he has no control over the money that he wins.

You're suggestion to him is good and I would also suggest that your friend should look into games of skills. He may have an advantage there to win big like he expects but this will depend on how good he becomes at the game.

My advice is not to bet an amount that you are not ready to lose, because in gambling when you are ready to bet you are also ready to lose 100%. So if you keep trying to chase victory, it will make you lose even more from what you have targeted. Create a gambling management for yourself, limit your bets every day/week so you will know from the time span of playing how much you managed to win and what percentage you have spent.

Replying to the title of your topic. Alot of gamblers, have somany reason why they keep gambling and nonstop. Some gamblers continue like this, just because they wish to get back why they have lost die to their gambling activities. Some gambles for fun and thus just want o enjoy them selfs so they keep playing for the fun of gambling.

As for your friend, though he is able to win most times I would consider him abit addicted since he wishes to stop but don't want to.If he is tired of winning little then he should either stop or develop a new gambling strategy. Gambling can become addictive and uncontrollable when you don't learn how to stop.

the fact that he is even winning in some of his games shows he is doing the right thing but the losses are part of the process of gambling. You don't expect to win all the time if not the gambling owners will go out of business so you just advice him to continue playing responsibly, don't bet above what you can afford to loose regardless of the winning potential of the game. Gambling is not a means to financial freedom and so it's best he playes it with that kind of mindset and maybe follow it up as a means to having fun and not just a scheme that will certainly fetch in huge money. Everyone knows what works best for them and so he is in the best position to know if he should continue gambling or not.

So basically your friend gambles to make money, right? well, if he continues like that over time he will become stressed himself because his expectations do not match the reality. The advice you should give to your friend is that when he gambles he must understand that he can lose at any time and it is quite risky - he should gamble with a better mindset by not fully expecting that when he gambles he will keep winning. If he expects that he will be able to win a good amount every time he gambles, then he will be constantly disappointed.

I'm sure your friend has seen and heard of people winning huge amounts of money. This was embedded into his subconscious mind, and his subconscious mind plays this out whenever he is betting, so every time he bets, he is subconsciously and consciously trying to win, the second thing is the dopamine effect, a feel-good chemical that has an effect,, on our mind, so it's not about winning and losing its more on the feel-good effect brought by the dopamine.

Gamblers do things that are different from what they are saying, they want advice on how to stop gambling, but they are also thinking about their next playing sessions.

If your friend wants to stop gambling and is really serious, then the only way is for him to be under the care of a professional and full rehabilitation. Your friend is already addicted to gambling, and no advice can help him. Only a rehabilitation plan to take out all the symptoms of addiction.

If he is constantly winning even a small profit from gambling then he just needs to save it all up.
Your friend is aiming for a big prize and he should be aware of how risky it is to chase it, at least he knows when to quit and to not let his greed control him when he plays.

In addition to gambling being a game of risk, it's also meant to be for fun and for the purpose of just enjoying the thrill of the game while you get a chance to win some money. If he's enjoying the game and winning little amounts, then he's not losing at all, he should be okay with his wins except he's ready to level up his stakes, but while doing that, he should be very careful not to risk what he can not afford to lose, because that's when he'll start the actual complaint woupd start. Lol

I think he should keep it at this level, because having a mindset of getting it big at once usually it's not favourable as it might generate to an uncountable loss for him,he should be grateful that luck is generally on his side as it's making him win small amounts nevertheless he should hold on tight and don't be on a rush cause in life it's better of starting small, aiming big and making it all out someday this is the best strategy I'll say as pertaining Gambling that will help alot.and again gambling with an amount you can afford to lose will keep him on a safer side.

Not my money so I don’t have the right to gave him any suggestions on how he should play gambling. The only help I can give is to emphasize that gambling is for entertainment purposes only so all those motive that makes gambling as source of income shouldn’t be tolerated since all gambling games has a house edge advantage.

The reason why gamblers keep coming even if losing money is because they still have hope to win big to recover their losses someday. I’m thinking like this when I’m still naive and new on gambling so I understand what he feels for coming back for more even if losing.

There’s nothing wrong with that as long as he only use money that he can afford to lose.

He should know that a little drop of water can make an ocean, what matters is the consistency and the drive he has. If you have won a little in the past then it means you can win big later if you have the right process. So playing with the strategy that made you win in the first place that you regard as small will also make you win big, that is how gambling is but if you keep changing strategy because you have the notion of winning big then you can miss it. To aim for big win is not wrong but the mode of achieving it should be sustained.

It means your friend is dumb.

If he didn't make money from gambling, he should realize if gambling only make him lose and he should stop if he's looking to make money instead of complaining. He need to get a job if he want to make money, that's the easiest way.

You say warn him to stop gambling, if he can't stop, it's better if you take a step ahead and cut off him.

Unfortunately, not many people listen to our advice when they are addicted, so whatever they have in mind, they always try again so that the capital they use can come back again, especially when our losses are only a small difference, for example we guess the number 69 but the winners are the numbers 70 and 68. so it will make us curious to continue experimenting again.

If we already know someone like that then we should try to leave him slowly because if he gives advice it will be useless and only make us tired.

You can advise him not to gamble anymore, especially since he hasn't won a lot of money. Gambling games can provide a lot and vice versa. He must realize that he doesn't need to gamble to earn a lot of money.

He could not hope to win much money from gambling. Many people have tried it, but not many of them have been able to win a lot of money. They have even lost a lot of money but they don't realize it.

There is no point in continuing to gamble if their goal is to win a lot of money. They should look for money from other places or work so they can make money. Playing gambling is just to have fun and not to win a lot of money.

Also, to be honest, we should only bet with the amount we can afford, can afford to lose. because there are gamblers who take big risky actions, such as risking large amounts of money that are not normal, causing them to experience quite serious problems when they experience defeat or lose the money they bet. that's why it's important for us to allocate an amount of money that we can afford, and with those who dare to risk a larger amount of money than usual, I think they are frustrated with this situation, they are desperate, so they risk all the money they have in the hope of being able to A miracle occurred that could make them win.

It is also not recommended to gamble continuously,  such as when you have experienced a loss, and we are still continuing to gamble because we want to get a win that can cover the loss, it is not recommended because there is no guarantee that we can get a win when we put money back in after experiencing a loss. in gambling. Having limits in gambling is important, to be able to avoid big losses, but it has to be done, because avoiding losses is impossible.

He's already enjoying and he wants to make money too, it's not that he can't stop it's just he doesn't want to stop, gambling already got a hold on your friend, it's just an alibi that he hasn't won a good amount, it's his defence so he can continue to gamble.

Nothing that you can and will say can convince him in fact if you keep advising him he will either stay away from you or ignore you, it depends on how gambling got a hold of you, if it's not yet that deep then you could invite him to other interests, who knows that could make him take a break in gambling.

You've already done your job by telling him the risk in gambling, but since he still continue to gamble, then I think it's best if you will just wait until he learn from his mistake. Most of us gamblers doesn't really win, but what differs from happy gamblers to addict is their ability to control their emotion, a responsible gambler knows how much money he can only afford to lose, and he stick with it, while the addicted gambler never stops until he lose everything, even the money that is not intended for gambling.

Then your friend thinks that gambling can make money other than luck? If he thinks like that, it is clear that he has the wrong perception because he wants profit in gambling, unless he gambles just for fun then he will not think about profit and how much money he gets.

When a person is familiar with gambling, it is difficult to stop and continue playing, so he has started addiction, maybe in their minds if they continue to gamble one day they can get a jackpot but this hope is not certain, even only 1% of people get it.

Few questions for your friend. Is his gambling budget affecting his general financial status? Is he under the influence of gambling that he cannot control his gambling habit? Is he complaining about his losses? Does he see gambling as a major source of income? Or is he gambling for fun? The answers to this question will determine my responses. Notwithstanding, he should know that gambling has an unpredictable outcome, so you have to be prepared for losses and wins. Sometimes you win big while in most cases you lose or win small, our ability to manage these situations is what makes us responsible or mature gamblers. Basically, he shouldn't gamble as a source of income and he should gamble with an insignificant part of his income. Let's also be hopeful because one day, he might hit the jackpot.

Some persons don't win and they're still gambling as if their lives depend on it. He hasn't won a good amount means atleast he's winning no matter how small it is and one day he's going hit a jackpot. My advice is that he shouldn't get frustrated to the point of placing many bets or spending more time gambling, thinking that it will make it happen faster, it doesn't work that way. Discipline, patience and luck is all he needs.

More precisely, looking for his luck at the gambling table, to fulfill his daily needs. Usually gamblers don't pay attention to what their friends say, their psychology has been disturbed by the losses they experienced at the gambling table, they will continue playing without listening to their friends' advice. Personally, if I give them advice and they don't listen to me, just ignore it, later they will realize that if they lose enough, they won't be able to gamble anymore.

There are several answers to this question and I’m sure each one of us will come up with an answer that best suits us and it might not work for others. First, why did your friend decide to gamble? Did he do it for fun or so that he could make money? The answer to this question will determine if he’s currently sticking to gambling so that he could gain back what he has lost or because he just want to have fine (and possibly get a little profit).

From the way you explained the Op I guess you friend has been playing slots or other casino games which rely heavily upon luck - if that is the case then I’d advice that he look at sport betting areas and try to see if there are any one he can make correct predictions on - if there is then he should participate in it and try to minimize his losses.

For how long would your friend bet before he could win the amount he has in my mind someday? Is it when he has lost all his money in gambling, that may lead him to begin to sell his properties with the belief that he's going to win the amount he has in mind someday.

OP, this kind of advice you gave to your friend has led many to poverty. You know why? They took the wrong advice that their friend gave to them and relied on it, without first understanding that anyone pursuing big wins in gambling doesn't end well in gambling because they always gamble with huge money that will affect their finances.

Some people continue to bet more even as they keep losing in gambling, perhaps because they continue to believe that someday they will win, and as long as they have resources, they can keep gambling. But the big concern there is that you might become addicted and lose control, eventually becoming irresponsible. It's a common trap people fall into with gambling. Casinos are designed to be exciting and keep you playing, even if you're losing. Yeah, it’s possible to win in gambling but it’s also very easy to lose, and the house usually has the advantage.

Sometimes addiction could be the reason why some persons cannot take a break or probably get to quit gambling because they are addicted and almost have no control over their actions so it's very possible they are not going to stop provided they have got the money they can spend on gambling they will always have to visit the casino meanwhile some just keep believing if they continue trying they are definitely going to get lucky one day and probably get to recover all they have lost to gambling.

Suggesting, I will say he should try changing his strategy and try improving his statistical knowledge of the games on which he gambling because that's the bases up on which most gambler make their gambling decisions and place their bets then he should aswell get a good risk management plan so he doesn't get bankrupt almost immediately he just gets started.

Well sounds like your friend had a gambling addiction and the only way to help him is to get him to understand and recognize this.  Why people continue to gamble even after continuous losses is that they are simply hooked and that’s also how they see recouping their losses. So it can’t become a vicious cycle that’s quite unfortunate .

You're a bad friend, Op. Knowing that your friend is developing a destructive passion for gambling, you increasingly encourage him to play even more. Gambling often leads to great disasters. Does your friend have that much free capital that he can just lose? Why don't you play? I will answer that you are afraid of losing everything. So why, instead of saving your friend, do you fuel his excitement for the game?

thanks but i don't think he's going to learn from his mistakes cause he's the kind of person who doesn't care if his wasting money or no. But thanks for your opinion

I think this is a problem that is experienced by most gamblers where they come with very high expectations and think that they will be able to earn a lot of money just by gambling, and my advice is to try to tell your friend to go back to research and identify what gambling is really about, explain in detail and provide some evidence to him about the downturn experienced by gamblers who try to use gambling as a place to earn.

Explain to him that however and at any time gambling is still gambling where betting activities always refer to two possibilities at the end of the session between winning or losing, victory is a bonus but defeat is a risk that must be faced and this is why a gambler is always advised to always be able to take responsibility for any decision because however defeat will always be a sure thing, so of course it means not to make gambling a place to earn because however the idea will never work and in fact in the end it will even make you experience a lot of downturns, especially in financial terms.

I will advise your friend not to take gambling as an investment, where he or she can make millions which are some of the things that is making him or her not to be happy with the little money he or she use to earn from the gambling.

It will be a good thing if your friend can have a budget in his gambling, because crossing the amount of his budget he can quickly apply stop at the moment, either winning or losing which is the best way to stay long in gambling to recover  losses in the future.

Trying to recover your losses, it can make any gamblers to continue loosing money which are part of some of the things causing your friend losing money not to have the ability to apply stop.

I'm not a bad friend and if I was a bad friend i wouldn't have ask for an opinion on here, i did this cause I've tried my best of stopping him not to go too far with gambling. So thanks for your opinion.

Gambling is greedy by depositing money even after losing money. Because gamblers think that after gambling they will win again next time. Because of this, many bet according to n*2. like 1st bet $2 2nd bet $4 3rd bet $8 until they win. In this case, if you win once, all previous losses will be recovered. this is how gamblers become highly addicted to gambling and continue to bet heavily even after losing. such activity can make a gambler go crazy and loss everything by gambling

Your friend is angry because he is gambling to make profit, and not for fun. This is why he was never satisfied with his little wins, and wants to make his dream money that will transform his life, but it is not easy that way. Gambling is more of taking from us than giving us, so he needs to know that for him to decide if he will continue gambling or not.

There are a lot of gamblers that became an addict through what he is doing because they continue chasing their loss until they can no longer control their gambling activities. This is why you need to let your friend know that gamble cannot give him the desired amount he wants to win, but will only take more money from him.

That means he ain't losing? The title is different from your opening story and question.

Anyway, if you are losing, your mind tells you to try and get it back. That's the first reaction of a human because he cannot accept that his money is taken from him just like that. We always want a fight so we fight back and bet more until one will raise the white flag. Sadly, online gambling sites ain't raising any white flag. They have a deep well of money so it is up to the gambler if he want to stop or not.
So what do gamblers do? They keep on betting, win or lose because they want that jackpot just like your friend, or they keep on chasing their losses if ever the gambling site is winning against them.

For those who become addicted to gambling, it becomes very difficult to quit gambling. So one should not become addicted to gambling. Gambling is good for fun. Since your friend doesn't win much at gambling, you should have advised your friend to quit gambling. But you encouraged him to bet. You should not have acted at all, you should have advised him to quit gambling. Yes gambling depends on luck but what if your friend has bad luck? What if your friend never wins? I would advise your friend that your friend should quit gambling. If your friend can afford to lose money then gamble for fun.

the best advice is to tell him to stop gambling. but if he still wants to gamble then allow him to spend more of the money he has to get the win he dreams of.
it would be difficult to get gamblers to provide solutions to other gamblers. Want to get a big win, the gambler must take a bigger risk with a bigger bet. If he bets small, there is indeed a chance of getting a big win, but we will talk about how big the chance is and how lucky your friend is.

I think your friend is chasing loss, but in actual sense he doesn't understand what you meant because if he do, being conversant with profit and loss in gambling is suppose to be the first thing every gambler should know, losing is certain in gambling, every gambler should have that mindset, this will help you to understand that gambling is not a compulsory profit thing, with this knowledge, your friend will know how to follow gambling and he won't attach much importance to it hence he know that the profit is not assured.

People like your friend might end up to be an addicted gamblers for many reasons, his mindset is channelled in making money through gambling despite the loss incurred so far, it doesn't really matter what to your friend, what matters to your Friend is making sure that huge winning comes, with this kind of idea losing will never depart from him, tell him to gamble with care and expect luck to play on his side instead of chasing losses.

I have only got some advice for this your friend and certainly not a winning technique.

I can understand that in this situation your friend has been emotionally down and probably maybe affecting his incomes and savings due to the sake that he was being too eager to win or even win more than expected.
Definitely the will of a gambler while gambling mustn't be fulfilled.

So ask your friend to always solemnly accept his little winning with joy because many gamblers are actually chasing that little winning but could not get it
So, let your friend exempt greediness on his gambling and then his emotions would be fit enough to condone with his gambling outcomes.
He should always try to stake less to the amount he can handle.

You did the right thing by telling him that it was a game of risk and luck it's up to him to accept that, compared to other gamblers who are losing a lot of money, he is still good he is still winning just Keep reminding him that he should not force himself to win by betting more than what he can afford to lose.
Eventually, two things will happen: he will experience losing a lot of money, or he will win big, but the latter is very rare to happen.

What I can say is the following, if your friend has not been able to have good Results in the game , it is because he has to change the way he plays , his Strategies, his way of betting, so he should do everything differently now, because he cannot continue like this anymore which becomes a constant outflow of money and that can be very difficult, so given these things it can be intuited that when we are thinking about making money we have to be thoughtful about what we are going to spend if the person is willing to spend a lot of money and your life will not get out of control, well welcome, spend money, but if not and feel that things will go in the right direction without you Being left with nothing and covering everything well.

I wouldn't say the same thing. I doubt that with constant betting we can actually win big someday.
If it were so then everybody would be betting these days in the hope of winning big some or the other day.
Since we already know its just pure luck, we shouldn't pay more focus into it and just casually bet withing our budget.
May be luck shines some day then we can win big otherwise we wouldn't need to stress so much anyway.

I'd tell him to keep his expectations low and accept the losses because returning once more to place more bets will always favor the casinos. Your friend will eventually win something, but it might not be enough to satisfy him. Instead of aiming for that big win, it's better to tone it down before it's too late and becomes a bigger problem. If he's struggling to stop his gambling addiction, he needs to look for another hobby that can reduce his gambling time, as that's what I did when I got hooked on casino games back then.

While he keeps gambling even after losing, it is because he has the hope of also winning a huge amount in the future. Gambling is a game of luck and for those that are non-seasonal gamblers, they are more frequent in gambling and believes in the luck of the game and as long as they enjoy what they are doing, they will keep gambling till any days luck runs on their side. As gamblers, we lose all the time, and as a matter of fact, the amount of losses is usually higher than the amount that is being won. If everyone makes the decision not to gamble again because they don't always win, then there will be fewer gamblers in the space. At least your friend always gets lucky to win some of the time. 

While I think your friend is stressing himself over nothing, I am even more concerned with your advice to your friend. Recommending "constant betting" to someone who is already losing it due to his inability to win big amounts is very risky. People place bets and lose everything, many are even craving for just a win to put smiles on their faces, no matter the amount involved. Your friend needs a different kind of orientation and I just wish he is seeing all these advice and recommendations here. Telling your friend that constant gambling is a solution will only trigger him to put in more effort because to him, he might be just one step away from winning.

Advice your friend to take it easy with his quest to win big amounts else he will be losing more money than he will be getting from gambling.  Addiction doesn't hit immediately, it creeps in slowly until the victim can no longer let go. He needs a break from his obsession before it ruins him. Big wins will come when he least expects it.

They day his friend eventually wins big I think that is the day that he will want to bet again in the hopes of doubling his win and when he losses he will still bet again in the hope of recovering the loss which then becomes chasing losses. Both are the very things that every gambling must strive to avoid. We should be contented with our win and neither wish for a big win or try to make a hustle out of it.

Eventually we all will win big but it happens by luck and maybe once or twice. The small wins is enough to keep us in check but the big wins can trigger the uncontrollable beast of addiction that will take a long time to fight off.

That is actually called the CYLCE OF GAMBLING.

To explain it fully, when a person either wins or losses in a gambling match, there are two (2) tendencies and situations that may happen. Either he wins and he bets again to try again his luck; OR if he lost, he tries again to recover the said losses from that match..... and the cycle continues.

Persons who gamble will most likely be inclined to gamble again if they are stuck in that cycle. In order to at least break this cycle, it is important to know one's limits. This includes the money allocated to their gambling expenses and the threshold amount they have set before they fully commit in gambling.

If a person fails to have an allocated budget in gambling and/or have a threshold amount of the maximum wins/losses they incur, then they may experience this cycle of gambling where they would most likely bet and bet again in the process.

nice explain I watched a gambling related movie where an influencer gets addicted to gambling and wins a lot using such tactics but later loses everything and ends up selling his own house to gamble. and he gambled away the money from the sale of his house and finally committed suicide. Gambling addiction can lead to suicide, so no matter what strategy you use, you should also consider the negative aspects of gambling. so gambling should be use in limited time

Maybe he still has high expectations of making profit through gambling, even though the scenario hasn't been looking favourable for him so far. It's possible he watches another gamblers playing and making profit, what makes him believe it's just a matter of time and effort until he also sees profit coming into his pockets. At same time, it's also possible he doesn't took into consideration the impacts of house edge factor, which is decisive on long run. I suppose he isn't aware about it, or didn't take that information seriously.

Well, if he is playing with money he can afford to lose, I would say him to just continue gambling like that, and there won't be any issues on long run. However, if he is gambling avid for profits, as it was going to be a life changer, I would say him to change his mindset immediately and to understand how gambling really works and what he can realistically expect from it along the time. If his priorities in life are to thrive and grow financially, I would say he is taking the wrong steps towards that objective.

Ask your friends what their purpose is in gambling. If your friend is gambling to make the money he wants, then he should be aware that he will lose money. If your friend gambles for fun, then losing money due to losses is normal for him without having to complain about why he can't win a lot.

From the beginning of the story, I know that your friend is a gambling addict who continues to chase his luck to win money. Gambling is not made that way so his mindset must be changed so that he can ultimately become a responsible gambler. Don't chase the money and the wins, but get pleasure from it despite the wins and losses.

Gambling is all about fun, but very few have the mind to consider gambling as a form of entertainment. Even the person who has a good understanding of gambling loses control and ends up losing. This is all about the temptation and the money involved in gambling. Just in case, if there is no money involved in gambling, then no one will prioritize it. The small winnings give him hope of winning big, and the same makes him an active gambler. This, in the long run, turns into an addiction and makes the person spend more and more. In other words, people just try it, and the win makes them go for big, whereas the loss creates a mindset of recovering the loss and ending the gambling. This is a never-ending process.

You can see that the person that brought this thread is confusing people. On the topic title, it says that his friend is losing but on what he posted, he said his friend is winning small. Which one should we believe? Is it winning small or losing?

A gambler should know that all money he is using to gamble can all be lost. People should not look for money through gambling and he should not chase losses either.

One of the biggest problems for gamblers and it is difficult to change when the gambler does not really expect a situation where they should be wiser when gambling.

The big expectation to hit the jackpot is always a problem because in the end such expectations and ambitions actually kill themselves in the end because it cannot be denied that until now the problem of gamblers before they are addicted is that they cannot control their emotions properly in gambling so that when they make a small profit they are never satisfied because the goal is a bigger profit but that can make the situation more complicated because in the end what happens is that they expect too much in gambling even though we know the ratio of losing is far greater than winning.

He needs to manage the little amount that he is winning on a regular because there are people who have even placed the same bet on a regular but barely see a single winning to take home. 
 
One thing about winning a big amount is going for games with good odds. Also, the amount you use in placing the bet will also determine what the potential winnings will be like, but your friend should learn to minimise his risk; he shouldn't try to chase big winnings, which reduces his chances of winning a particular bet.

This sounds like your buddy is playing some casino game's,and honestly when it comes to casino games and winning,..one needs to have a strategy of how they will win,one needs to know how to manage their bankroll with the aspect of risk management, failure not to have any of these guarantees failure!! And not forgetting the number one reason most gambler's fail Is because of greed, and I suspect our friend could be over risking...

Let him adjust his play to small denominations to try stay in the game longer, and if he can let him find games with good RTP rather than picking some difficult game that doesn't oftenly pay.

True, I also think that the friend of OP is aiming for a good profit through gambling which is we know is difficult to achive or maybe impossible unles you are a lucky one, but from the looks of it the person is gambling or continue on gambling because he still cling to the hope that he might win a big amount someday, but I doubt that he will stop there, I dont want to judge but it looks like if the gambler that OP said will win a huge amount I'm sure he will still play gambling until that winning amount will be gone again, I currently also playing gambling and just for fun so I have an allocated funds for that and I said to myself if I once hit a really big jackpot I will limit or totally stop gambling, instead focus on making that win grow even more by investing or building a business, you friend OP should have a mindset.

Well, we all know that gambling is all about luck and risk as u said and it can be also addictive if we constantly gamble which will not turn out well, which might lead him to keep lose more money with the hope of winning huge amount of money someday. So for me I would like to say that he should not have that mindset of winning big before he could stop gambling, I don't know if I will say gambling has this spirit of bad luck each time someone has it in mind or pray to win big, it's that time someone will keep losing and you will be wondering what's wrong so instead he should just gamble as an entertainment and also know the risks involved when someone becomes an addict, this way will really help him a lot and as a good friend you are, you have to always encourage him and keep advising him, though it's not really easy to stop knowing fully well, you have lose a lot, you can also help him by telling him to set limit on how to spend and the time he will also spend, so that you both can go out to do other things that can make him happy and more him to get money too.

You're already telling him good about gambling which is about risks and luck and then you've turned around said this. While it's true that it's possible that he may win that amount that he's aiming but at what cost? That is going to cost him a lot before he finally gets to that point of his bets that he'd won such amount. And when he losses, he's still going to continue and I thought your goal in helping him is to make him realize that he's losing more money if he keeps on betting after bets.
The feeling of being a loser is one of the many reasons why a gambler keeps on going despite the heavy loss that he's already got. You bet it, they'd continue no matter what is the amount they've lost already because their goal isn't really about hitting the amount they have in their minds but to recover the huge losses that they've made. One way to stop that is to accept the losses and admit that you'll be having hard time in recovering them for which will take time if you continue to do so.

Personal feelings and emotions like frustration and regrets. It could also just be desire of becoming rich or the idea that they just enjoy the experience. It depends on the individual actually; we have our own reasons in the first place of why we are doing something. There are two sides to consider; playing despite of losses because you lost that much and you have to make up for it or continuing to bet because you can afford the amount you've lost.
Well, betting continuously would basically increase your chance of winning because you are adding attempts to do so however it won't lessen the tendency of losing. The more you bet, the more you'd be exposed to the chance that you'll win but the question is, until when would you be able to do so? What would blow up first, you winning or you losing everything you have?

I think he subconsciously trying to win back all the money he lost. It appears that he may want to quit but he is still pulled by the losses and he’s always giving it one last try. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in that scenario where you simply want your money back and don’t want any interest or extra, that may be his case (depending on how much he has lost). Best you can do is advise him that he should take it slow and steady if he wants to continue, and also, gambling shouldn’t be his main source of income.

For me, every person has different reasons but still continues to gamble.
The combination of psychological, biological, social, and cognitive factors can contribute to the cycle of gambling behavior, even in the fac of repeated losses. I know a lot of people like this, friends or some family members.
Breaking this cycle often requires awareness, support, and intreven tions such as therapy or support groups.

Your friend has a potential addiction with gambling as he always desire to win a huge amount, what he had in mind was to recover what he had lost for so many times. Partly, it's proven that gambling involves the risk despite of the fun and lucky experience. Most of the people who's behind this activity tend to suffer of loss compared to winning.
What I can suggest with him is to minimize gambling activity, and don't expect for more lucky bets to win that instantly. Just bare in mind that by luck is the only probability that winning big amount is our only chance for this, and not by any reason.

He should be happy that he is even privileged to be winning a little sum of money, even though it were not his desired amount, because one thing about gambling is that no gambler ever pray to lose a bet, but yet that doesn't mean you aren't likely to either lose or win,  which is why there is always this popular saying for people to always and only gamble with an amount they can afford to lose, and not gambling so as to impress others, which I will say is the best advice I can give for now, because gambling everyday is never a guarantee for big win, but rather it drags you closer to the possibility of winning big.

Gratitude buddy! He should show some gratitude and stop the complains, the complains can only mean one thing, and that's that he is greedy and not contented, whereas there a thousand if not millions of gamblers out there that will really make do of that small win your friend is making as profit from his gambling. Not quite a lot of gamblers get lucky to win a cent since this year started.

Your advice to him is not the best, ultimately, gambling is an activity of luck no doubt, but consistency in engaging in it doesn't make for or attract quick luck for bigger wins. The chances could be that while you gamble consistently you still get to experience countless losses while someone else gambling ones a while get luck to hit a jackpot. How unfair that sounds, right ??? But it's the reality of gamble.

Of course most gamblers have been in the same shoe and worse part is you expect to regain your loses without extra but if you are lucky to get there, you start looking for same extra that you don't intend to. This is usually the story of gamblers, as to the reason that they lost even deeper. Emotion is the cause of loses, a gambler who is good with controlling his emotion is probably going to get his bets. Playing many times or fewer times won't really matter anything without proper guide to our emotions.

They chase losses, that's all there is to it. They can't get over the fact that those losses aren't going anywhere anytime soon and that they're never going to get it back and so they falsely believe that they'll be able to win it all back if they just gamble more when that's not how things work anyway, it's never a possibility to ever get it back. If people stop thinking about gambling as a way to get out of the poverty line and think that gambling is the key to a wealthy lifestyle, maybe we would see less and less of this kind of people and we would eventually stop wondering why those people do what they do.

The hart of a gambler is always filled with hope and when a gambler has hope he always beliefs that when he lose today tomorrow he will win that's the main reason why even when a gambler losses his money on bets he will still gamble. Anyway always gambling makes us get addicted, it doesn't matter whether a gambler is gambling everyday or not, if you are lucky to win a bet any day, you won't skip it because it's a lucky day.

This is a bad advise for your friend. He might think this and won't stop playing until he literally turn his life into chaos. It's in the nature of the people and most gamblers to get greedy when winning and get tempted to win back the losses if he losses. The best advise for me is to let him know that the losses won't come back and it's pointless to win it back as it would only result in more losing, instead just use what amount he is willing to risk and just entertain himself and in no time he'll win with the goal of having fun and not because he is trying his luck or winning back his losses.

when they experience defeat there is a possibility that they will not stop, with gambling which usually ends in defeat but they gamble again to win back everything they have lost, sometimes reasoning that the defeat that has occurred is almost a win, so they think they can win. in gambling that they will do again, of course it is not a guarantee that they can win, even though in their gambling they almost won, but that doesn't mean that by gambling again they can win again. This possibility will make them addicted and experience more losses.
Because when someone is addicted, it will be difficult to stop gambling even if losses occur to him, and when he is advised or given advice not to gamble, it is also very difficult for someone who is addicted because basically every addiction will stop when his conscience has the intention. to stop.
So someone who continues to gamble and experiences defeat or losses finds it very difficult to stop because their ego or curiosity is so big that they think they will win.

This is not wrong advice, because basically we're required to continue gambling if we want to win according to our expectations, it's impossible for us to win from gambling itself if we don't gamble, LOL. But the advice you give to your friend is too risky, if he has run out of the special money allocated for gambling, he will continue to gamble with money that should not be used for gambling to get what he wants.

Guy, I want  to answer the first question on the title of this thread. The reason is because they already know that they can not win all the time and they can nir also lose all the time. Gamblers knows that the possibility of winning their bet depend on chance and probability. They know that if they gambler today and did not win, they might win on the next day. Gambling is non stop for those that understand the rules so well.

To answer your next question, your friend have two choices which are; he should stop gambling or he should continue gambling. If he stops, he will not have to deal with gambling losses again and if he continues to gambling, losses are inevitable.

He probably doesn't understand that until he stops, he will most likely lose. Of course, he has a chance to win, but this chance is very small and only creates for him the illusion that it is he who will win, and not other players. Although they are essentially the same and luck randomly chooses those who win, you need to tell him this. Why did he decide that he would win and not other players? Of course, he won’t like the truth, but the worst thing is that he will try to prove it to you with his game that it is possible to win and will lose even more. In short, when it comes to advice to players, we must say them very carefully, because they can affect them in an even worse way.

I think many people experience this, not just your friends who feel this way, everyone who participates in gambling, many people experience defeat, bankruptcy, debt everywhere as a result of gambling, so the people who can win big from gambling are only a handful of people of the billions of people who gamble. Your friend should be grateful that he can still win even if he only wins a little and doesn't meet his expectations. Many people have difficulty winning even just a little, so whatever results we get we can still accept it rather than having to experience continuous defeat which will make us lose we get stressed and actually chase defeat.

But in my opinion, even though we have won a little money, we still have to stop and not chase too much after the winnings we hope for. If we experience luck without gambling continuously and only do it occasionally, we can still get it. But if you don't experience luck, you will try as hard as you can continuously gambling and hoping one day to get a big win will be in vain.

Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more? There are lot of reason and one of it is chasing the losses or greed and the point is why you cant stop because you get addicted and emotions already take control of your body. that is why some people know they lose but still want to bet more all they want is to win and that's it.

Second he got addicted because he feel the win and then he just want more and more and greed is take over

Returning to gambling after experiencing defeat is of course not very good because the results we get will also be the same because it is very unlikely that we will be able to win after losing the previous bet. Controlling emotions when gambling is very important because when someone cannot control their emotions when gambling, of course they will gamble with greed and this will be very detrimental to themselves, betting too often will also have a bad impact on ourselves and it would be better for us to limit the gambling activities we do so that things don't happen that we don't want. the impact of gambling.

Yeah exactly so instead of giving an advice to continue much better for his friend to stop since if he's not lucky and having a bad day for sure this streak will continue since for sure a heavy emotion will come and that will give them bad result since he can't think good then maybe do aggressive betting for thinking that he can easily recover especially if he increase his bet size. If he want to win maybe he should try his luck next time since maybe with that he will have a fresh start and good times will come after him then he can recover his past losses made from past few days. Also he should know how he handle his finances on gambling since everything is unstable here so he can't expect any sure gain that's why instead of thinking about profit much better if he just enjoy the game.

The constant betting part is misleading, why gave him such advice? Normally the lesser time you spend on a casino the better, because gambling is wired in a way that we humans will keep coming back, for me atleast, this is why I believe that its a absolute win for those who are running a online casino business.

Every thing about gambling is wired against the gambler, the casinos don't even need to cheat, the nature of human will always keep them coming back, we are curious beings and we always believe that the more we put in more effort the better the result will be.

The mistake there is this is gambling, not your life hustle, not your dream job where you need promotion to make more money after you can rank up, this is a game based on pure luck, you need less activity by default.

In fact, one of the reasons why it is not recommended to continue gambling after losing is because usually when you are still in a losing situation, you are still dominated by emotions due to the defeat which in the end usually these emotions will encourage you to make some decisions that usually make no sense or impulsive decisions because most likely you do it based on emotions and not a rational mindset. And this is why in some cases gamblers even experience a greater amount of loss which is because they make decisions that they cannot be responsible for such as for example back betting with a much larger budget and when it turns out that the results do not match then obviously it is a situation that will further worsen their mental and psychological which sometimes makes them experience stress because they cannot withstand all the pressure. This is the reason why it is always recommended to know when to start and when to stop, because by having this ability, it is less likely for you to experience a more significant amount of loss and can also avoid bad possibilities such as addiction.

Haha I understand that you are trying to be straight up with your advise that if you are gambling then expect the loses too. Yes it is right, like if you have fetched ant infested firewood then you should also expect the visit of reptiles ;D. So that is the way gambling is, if you have made up your mind to chase the profit in gambling then you have to also be ready to take the risk of losing because every gambler lose from time to time and also wins when he is lucky. Therefore if you are losing, you don't have to see it as you are the only one who is losing, you have to get your analysis well and you have great fun when you win and also take it the way it comes when you lose.

Yes, with repeated attempts we might win someday but the point is that we shouldn't stress ourselves over winning a lottery.
Doing that, we would just decrease our mental well-being and lose money which will just increase the impact.
This is why maintaining a balance is strictly necessary while gambling.

Gambling is that we play against our emotions, and any situations that arise provoke us to commit erroneous actions. If a person is easily angered, then he will succumb to this and it is better for him not to gamble, because he will begin to do things that he did not even know he could do. This even happened to me once, I simply didn’t recognize myself, it was terrible, but now I bet on my bankroll and haven’t lost my temper for several years.

This instability is also called tilt, the main thing is not to fall into it, otherwise it will be very sad for us. I have seen even professional players go on tilt and lose a lot, but they still know that in the long run they will be able to win something and pay off their debts while on tilt. Perhaps some people should even work with a psychologist, this will certainly help.

Many where gambling not because they wanted to make money from gambling, but because they are more interested in having fun through it, they had prefer to spend their time and money gambling and this alone is a great achievement on them without minding if they win  bet or not, such continuation is not because they are doing so to get addicted to gambling, but because they wanted to achieve their maximum goal with having fun.

Do you remember that old meme where 2 men dig a tunnel to find gold and one is close but decides to give up because he went so far without finding anything and the other is just starting his tunnel and we don't know if he decides to keep digging until he finds it or if he'll quit like the other guy.

The more you lose, until a certain poinmt you will want to keep playing because you'll feel like each loss gets you closer to the win.

Control and moderation is everything when it comes to gambling and other sorts of things specially if its really that related on spending up some funds or money towards it, because on the time that you had missed out on doing so then it would really be bringing out that huge disaster into your finances and this is something that you must avoid at all cost. When doing gambling or betting then it would really be that normal that we would really be having that kind of urge since you do know that you can make money with it and its something a very common approach for most people. In the case of op, if he had been telling his friend on having that kind of risks in gambling and having that moderation in spending but still he wont listen then better to let him be, the thing on here is that you didnt lack on making those kind of warnings and cautions in towards it.

People do usually stop on playing gambling or stopping onto something when they do already experience unfortunate conditions but on the time that they arent that experiencing something then
they would really be tending to do those things no matter what or as long they do have money into their pockets on which this is something that you would really be needing up to think up carefully.

Well the truth is that can't state that every body go for the money aspect but I doubt if majority who engage on gambling will neglect the choice of the money involved in gambling and go because of fun, it's the money that make many engage on gambling even to the point of addiction.

Keep in mind that when you gamble, it's all about taking risks. No one can promise large wins all the time; losing is inevitable and your friend must understand this. To avoid disappointment or frustration, it is essential to lay down realistic expectations.

The first piece of advice to give might be to tell them to set limits, then keep those limits strictly in place. This could be a limit on how long they play, how much money they spend, or how often they gamble. If your friend has clear boundaries, it helps him control his gambling behavior: he won't lose more than he can afford if he sticks with these restrictions. Also ask your friends to find pleasure in other entertainment or activities that take their focus away from gambling. Discovering new interests or participating in social events will reduce the temptation to bet too much.

Getting rid of an addiction to gambling is hard. however, your friend can get over it with appropriate support.

However I don't think gamblers that doesn't gamble to be entertained or for money are much because it's hard to hear that someone decided to gamble because he/she want to keep him self busy. Well there might be gamblers like that but I don't think that those set is of gamblers are much. People who gambles for money are many and it's only the rich gamblers that gamblers for entertainment. Many of use on this forum believes that the rich gamblers to be entertained and the poor gambles to make money so, my question is, is it the ones that are not rich and are not poor that gambles just to while away time?

Yes that may be true, but I think if we compare about whether gambling is more of a place to seek entertainment or a place to seek income I think most of the more gamblers make gambling a place to earn, Although I do not have statistical data that can prove it, from the many cases of downturns that I have found about the number of gamblers who have experienced downturns, I can confirm that more gamblers make gambling a place to earn than just for fun, because logically if for example what they want is only entertainment, it is unlikely that they really want to exchange money just for entertainment, meaning that there is something they are after, namely victory.

But on the other hand yes I also admit that there are some gamblers who do make gambling for fun but I don't really know about whether they have a reasonable reason to be used as a defense or not, but whatever your intentions and goals come to gambling, however it is always recommended to apply caution and vigilance.

The most dumb thing to give someone is to give them the idea that if they continue gambling they'd win it big at some point. That's how all gamblers fall into that endless loop of an idea that they'd be someday repaid with their continuous gambling. It does happen though, dw, just that it only happens to that 1% (or maybe even less) of gamblers. And it's not even a fair selection really, since rich people would be able to get into that 1% more than an average gambler could.

I'd honestly tell them to do something else, find a hobby or something. Maybe invite him to join me on what I enjoy.

The reason why people continue playing even when they are only losing is because when they lose they believe that in the next game they will be lucky enough to win and that way, even though they are losing, they continue playing until the money they took to the casino is all gone. . For example, in your friend's case, when he puts in 10$ he plays and loses, he thinks he was very close to winning, he just lost the 10$ because he was unlucky but if he continues playing then he will be lucky in the next game, when the next game and he plays and loses, he thinks again that he needs to play one more time so that in the next game he will be able to win, he will repeat this cycle many times until he runs out of money

and see that everything will get worse if he is lucky enough to win a few times, because in gambling  when a person wins, he becomes more confident that he is invincible, so he thinks that he can win many times, even if he has a cycle of many defeats , she still won't give up because for her, that victory she had in the past, will come to an end again, playing thinking about profit is something very dangerous and should always be avoided, the person who plays a lot thinking about profit ends up very badly. becomes addicted, bankrupt, in debt and sometimes in jail

I'd also tell the same thing to do other things when they keep on losing or they are not able to think properly anymore because what they have in their mind is to chase and recover their losses.

Despite losing a lot with their bets, they are continuing due to the fact that they think only of a few things. To continue and recover, and the regret of gambling and the money that have lost.

So, for the traders there is a stop loss. With gamblers, there's nothing like that and that's why many chooses to continue.

Most keep gambling because is they actually found it fun and entertaining, expecially those that are financially stable that they don't have to depend on the money they normally win during their gambling sections.

While most continue, because they believe that if they keep on trying one day they Will surly hit the jackpot, which is two ways though it is possible for one to surely a nice jackpot that may change one live for the better, and at same time he or she may just endup getting themselves reckt, due to various losses.

Plenty gamblers have their perception that the much you gamble the more you get closer to getting that anticipated win that could make your world go round but that's just some lame perspective in anyways a person wanna garnish it. And I oblige to your opinion, getting a more creative idea than gambling to augment could be kinda relieving than anything persistent gambling.

I agree that people who have no problem with their financial, will continue gambling because it may be fun activities for them. In this condition, they have no reason to stop because they consider it as common habits. But this type of gamblers won't spend excessive money because they gamble only for having fun, they aren't trying to chase certain amount of money from the prizes.

Sure, many gambler will keep gambling because they expect to win a big prize someday (jackpot). This type of gamblers may spend excessive money when they are too optimistic to win it someday. They sometimes becomes aggressive in gambling when they see a successful gambler. Simply, this type of gamblers will easily be influenced when he see people won big prizes from gambling.

Well, we also can't avoid that some people gamble like doing their usual habits. This will never stop because they do it like they do other usual activities in daily life.  ;D

But then One good solution is to know when to call it quits; to know when you should give up and say your goodbyes. Experienced gamblers know this very well and that’s one way to manage risk. They try to not stake too much that will create a connection to their emotion. And if they ever do, when they see it’s gone, they let it be. Because based on experience, they will only lose more.

Thats because he is an irresponsible gambler that clearly does not understand what gambling is all about. And to be honest, gambling will never be a source of consistent profits and income. It could either be a source of consistent losses for all we know. So he should never see gambling as a means to gain more money, otherwise he will used up all his funds if he stick on that belief.

I suggest he should only gamble with small amount so that minimal losses will not affect him. That way, he will see what is real gambling about, and that is simply to have fun and become entertained, not actually to double or triple your capital.

I agree with you Mate.
I do say that wether or not, Majority care about winning alongside the fun most gamblers crave for, it just a remedy used to offset them from thinking about the loses,lol. We can’t deny the fact that we will keep gambling and losing much in the process all because of fun, how??.


For me, I would greatly advise that your friend clearly understand that losing is inevitable as winning is by chance. It up to him to decide and avoid getting wreck in the process of continuation.
If it is sport betting, he should consider improving in his analyzing skill.

Because they're addicted and they've got no way to quit, they're so addicted to gambling and chasing losses that it's really difficult for them to be quitting, they only complain to release the tension that they're feeling whenever they lose a lot in gambling, that's not an indicator that they're quitting, kind of like you and everyone that's got a job and you complain on the task at hand but you still do it anyway, that's basically the same thing with this one, there's no way that this friend of yours would ever quit and the only way that they're ever going to quit is when that friend's loved ones do an intervention towards rehabilitating this man. The promise of riches that gambling dangles in front of these poor people is just too attractive to let it go away, that's why it's so alluring to them to not be gambling in the hopes that they would win and would turn their life around but when it comes to chronic gamblers, they've got a hard time coping with the idea of letting go of gambling despite winning big already.

One of the major common problems with gamblers is being to expectant, gambling is a 50/50 game, a game of risk and chance, there's every chances of losing and so are there chances of winning, but they must also remember that the chances of losing are way more higher than that of winning so being too expectant of a win all the time might just mess up one's mental composure just as you've earlier stated.
Again, too much expectations brings disappointment, but when you just play and expect nothing but the fun and the thrill of the game, rather than the outcome of the bet.

I don't think it makes sense if their goal in gambling is to keep themselves busy, why not do other things which clearly have a lot more to do and are more useful than gambling. It is very likely that the number of gamblers who continue to put money into gambling even though they have lost are those who gamble with the aim of making money, with a goal like that that makes them not give up even though they have lost and lost money gambling. Incidents like this are no longer strange, because they have happened a lot in my opinion.
Indirectly, in my opinion, they do spend time, but with style. Gambling which is said to have rewards if you are lucky is an attraction for the gamblers who play. In fact, they don't just spend time but also spend money. With those who are rich of course their aim may be for entertainment which can be said to be a waste of time and money, the same is true for those who are poor, the aim of gambling is to make money, and that is the same as spending time and money. . It's just that here the perception is different for the rich and the poor.

First of all,  you needs to know that gambling is not a game that is quite easy to stop when you have already been into the system, especially when addicted to it, because their are people out there that thinks that they can't do without gambling, and when it has gotten to that point, just know that is either they are already addicted or they are on the verge of addiction.

Secondly, another thing about gambling is that once you have started gambling, and starts accumulating losses of different sizes, the only thing that would be mostly in your head is how to win back what you have lost, and by doing so, you end up losing more money, because gambling doesn't works like that, when you gamble out of desperation, you will definitely lose more  money, so in essence is that, gambling should be a game for fun, not seeing it as a means of income.

In everything that we humans do, there is always hope.

Unfortunately, this hope is been used against gamblers because it is the reason that they keep coming back to gamble more, they have hope in something that is based on luck, no wonder why religion is so against it.

Normally this will not only make many people lose money or even their homes but it will mess with them mentally or possibly spiritually, to have hope in your struggle is different, to have hope in your God is different, but to have hope in thin air is disturbing.

---

If you are not prepared physically and mentally gambling can ruin you, especially those who strongly believe that the only way they can become who they wanted in thsj life is through gambling, first of all, gambling isn't for everyone, because some people don't even know who they are, they can't control themselves and they don't even trust themselves.

This type of people are much more in numbers, this is why gambling isn't for everyone, you need to know yourself so that you can stop when it is right to stop gambling and so that you can also take your profits when it is good enough, it is not everyone that is this capable.

What I've read on this responses are interesting and some ideas partially not acceptable by me. A player is either rich or poor and not in the middle. In a twinkle of an eye a low roller would turn to a high roller and revolves this way. Players have ups and downs. Some decide not to wager high because it's squarely unacceptable in the technique they implement in gambling. Hence, placing gamblers in a middle position and wondering if they don't have a reason to gamble is confusing.

As these are also gamblers but don't actually belong to no category when talking about the rich and poor players. I think they can decide to behave like the low rollers or high rollers. So, people go ahead with their losses due to a high leakage in the player's self control and emotional strength. Gaming consumes energy like other activities. When a player is tired their brain power wouldn't function accurately. Tired players get to play recklessly, all they want is a win. I watch some who continuously press on the slot buttons nonstop expecting that it makes an impact.

Good question. Now let's base it on your friends scenario/situation. Your friend might have miscalculated the probability of winning against losing. We all know when we gamble, we have a huge chances of losing than winning, correct me if I'm wrong but it's like we have 30% chances of winning out of 100% than losing. So, your friend might still aiming for a goal that could be close to impossible to achieve, like hitting the jackpot in the lottery.
Another thing that let a person get hooked up with gambling is because gambling serves as the outlet to release the stress from every day work. This could somehow help a person emotionally as long as the expenditures are in control. But then again, going back to your friend's scenario, it looks like this isn't what he's aiming for. I suggest you should tell him the probability of winning against losing and that he needs to control his spendings and expect lesser than what he used to be anticipating what he gets from winning.   

If playing is not enjoyable anymore then what's the purpose to continue? Unless if he's really after profit with a goal of gaining huge. Because those gamblers who have this desire can't stop even they keep on losing. Just give him advice to just play in moderation because gambling is a game of luck and chances to profit is slim. It's better to gamble and have fun rather than spending money then you'll be tempted to play again because you want to recover the losses.

I mean gambling is not even a thing that you could make money from, there is a house edge and in theory you should lose money if you keep gambling, doesn't matter even if you win millions of dollars worth of jackpot one day, if you keep gambling with that money eventually you will lose, hence why many withdraw when they win big.

So, if that friend ends up not going bankrupt then he is doing fine and there shouldn't be anything to worry about. I do not earn much from gambling neither, sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I don't but I end up being happy with it. I do not spend all my money here, I spend very little and that gives me some fun, so I consider the money I lost as money spent and not lost, in exchange of getting some fun and entertainment out of all of this instead.

What you said to your friend was right, because it looks like he thinks he definitely should win a big amount, it's just a matter of time.


It's not impossible, but only if that amount is realistic. Like , take me for example. I'm happy with winning $200 with my 20 cents stake. That's my goal so to speak. And I've succeeded in that several times. But if my goal was to win a million, maybe I wouldn't achieve it in my whole life. See? Tell your friend to set realistic goals.

Especially when you get your first win, that is when you will be encouraged to even want to gamble more, that first win is like a trap, that a lot of people have fallen victim to, you will find it difficult to stop the only thing you can happen is to adjust and avoid gambling always and also try as much as possible to avoid friends that are gamblers because they might just encourage you to gamble more or even gamble whenever you see them gambling and that way you become addicted and every time you will want to gamble either you win or not I won't see has it been reasonable at all.  because gambling is risky, and diving into it too much is dangerous, the better we reduce how we gamble the better for us,  because when you gamble a lot you won't even have money to do relevant things again.

No matter how careful you are, you will always lose sometimes because gambling is such a game that sometimes you lose sometimes you win. That one lose does not mean he should stop gambling because there is no way to completely avoid losses and that does not imply that gambling is not profitable. People are making a living off gambling, you just have to figure out a way to remain profitable and also hope for luck that makes the process easier. So, people will continue to lose but if you don't give up, you will win and make decent profit. If you are gambling in such a way that one loss will force you out of gambling, then you are not managing your risk properly.

Gambling is a game of luck but it does not mean that you will attain huge profit if you try again and again because with such tries you can also face continuous loss. I think if a person once knows that his loss is more than his win and gambling is just spoiling the worth of his money then he should quit gambling because after this the risk increases more.

For him little win was better but now if he is going to try again and again so not only the success rate increases but the rate of loss also increases. There should be a break from gambling as regular gambling will force you to put huge money as a result of which you will lose all the amounts.

Your winning depends on your inputs as what you staked in for the bet and then you received it back as output to what you put already. Meaning he is only gambling according to his risk level and whenever someone wants to winning higher amount he or they needs to bet higher to get what they wants, that is why your friend always win very little amount before he refused to double his betting amount to have good pay out. But guess what, I sincerely love what he is doing currently because that would reduced him from becoming addicted and start wasting money, and again we should know that gambling is a kind of very hard game to play since our winning is not defined or you won't know when your luck could shine and they win huge amount.

Why would you say that? What is the guarantee for that happening? This will only make him spend more money on gambling and will probably lose it all again because as you said he has been losing mostly. You should tell him to be moderate with his bets and gambling so that he doesn't lose a lot of money because there is nothing wrong with him trying his luck with a small amount each time but he shouldn't aim for high wins by spending a lot of money.

Gamblers who keep losing constantly need to take a break from gambling and get their minds refreshed, and they should come again after some time and start anew. I know this doesn't change their luck but it will at least take the frustration out of their minds and they might gamble with a more positive mindset and might be able to control their anger and other emotions.

Yeah, it's better for him to take a break for a while from gambling so he can thinks clear about his gambling activity before. If he thinks that playing gambling is only gives more losses, he doesn't have to continues his gambling activity after takes a break but he can search for other activities to fills his spare time and still have fun with it. He can't after profit with a goal of gaining huge from gambling because gambling will not gives that money to him easily and he can lose more and more money. That's why when someone feels that he only wastes his money in gambling, he must stops his gambling activity and not playing gambling again. Someone can feels bored playing gambling because of lose that he gets so he will not have to playing gambling anymore. That will be safe for him because he doesn't have to lose money from gambling.

Some gamblers just enjoy doing this without thinking about money.
But for the others, I badly say that most of them are in the chase of their losses, and what is in there is that --if they stop gambling, they can't bring back their losses, so they keep on gambling even if they still lose.

This is the nature of gambling and I know everyone is aware of this. Once you get addicted to gambling, it is definitely hard to stop. I can't say all gamblers are addicted but the majority have fallen already in a situation that is difficult to escape. They are not gambling for the sake of taking back their money, not in the way of enjoying themselves.

But the provocative ability of gambling is not simple, it not only causes a losing streak or a winning streak and causes mental collapse, it is like a fisherman, always offers very lucrative baits and sometimes it will sacrifice a few small baits to get bigger fish, many people will be vague in the matrix diagram between losing and winning, they only know that the distance of victory is closer than ever and need to make it happen by continuing. Such manipulations that weaken the will become a way for losers to lose more and bet more to withdraw faster.

It is an emotional issue. The person who ends up losing more than he should, deep down, knows that he shouldn't bet more than he should and has planned before the start not to bet more than X, but he goes into tilt and tries to chase his losses and ends up losing much more.


Man, it's a x1,000. It's like if I bet $10 and win $10,000. I don't know how many times you say that's happened to you but it's got to be very infrequent.

Obviously, because after all defeat will always be a part that will never be separated in gambling, no matter if for example you are very careful but still the name of defeat will always be a sure thing, and this is why we are always advised to only bet small amounts in gambling which is because the possibility of defeat will always lurk until whenever but with you only betting small amounts then when you lose you will not feel too emotional because you only lose a small amount.

Haha on the other hand I am quite confused about the opinion that you conveyed above my friend, you told me that defeat can never be avoided in gambling but on the other hand you also said something that seemed to encourage and motivate gamblers to keep gambling by telling them to find ways to be able to bring more wins, and I will tell you that whatever method you use in gambling actually all of it will not really affect the results at the end of the session, I will tell you that no matter what method you use in gambling, it will never be able to guarantee victory because only luck can really make someone win while on the other hand anyone can never control luck, and this is why victory is always unknown when it comes, and you also have to understand that there are no long-term benefits in gambling, meaning that you cannot advise someone not to give up because gambling is not something that has any certainty in terms of winning. And another thing from what you said about winning in gambling I see that you are not a gambler.

Gamblers who are addicts will always give excuses why they do not want to let go of careless gambling. OP's friend  is gambling more because he has never made huge wins before,  what an excuse! When gamblers become too desperate for a particular thing (ofcourse big wins), they begin to make rash decisions like gambling with amounts they can't afford to lose, gambling everyday, going into debts just to gamble and putting in their time and resources into gambling. Being desperate ofcourse leads to addiction and the worrisome part is that these gamblers do not see anything wrong with their actions. There is no point encouraging anyone to gamble constantly so as to make big wins because gambling is all about luck. Big wins can come anytime.

That is how it starts. At first it looks cool and you win money in the beginning but as you keep playing on you lose more money.
It is at that point when our emotions kick in and tell us to keep trying until we win more money.
But at that point of time we should stay calm and think wise. If we chase loses we lose more and that is why we need to set our own guidelines and strictly adhere to it.

I'd say "careful" is something you can't find in gambling, you will never ever avoid losses. Unlike pilots who never make any mistake when driving airplane, doctors who never make any mistake to operate their patients etc.

In gambling you can win and lose, definitely you will lose and sometimes you will win.

There is nothing to suggest.

Your friend here is running the biased logic of the gambler that the next roll will be a win because the previous bets were lost. What they need to realize is that in EV- games the casino will always win in the long run and there is little place for applying your logic. In games like these, the next roll or game does not get influenced by what the previous roll was.

Try showing them some of the math behind this an then see what happens to their habit.

All want that huge win. It's normal. But casinos and betting systems aren't charities. They use long-term winning statistics. Being honest isn't negative. Consider gambling as wagering on numbers and probabilities rather than a fairytale. Not luck, but math. You must be smart about outliers. Diversifying your bets is like investing in stocks. Determine risk and odds before betting on hope

Gambling is risky, guy. Success long-term? Building strength requires recognizing your limits, facts, and odds. Responsible, larger-picture gambling? Maybe. But using hope alone? Dangerous. Avoid gambling or gamble smartly. Make your choice with your eyes open, knowing what that hope costs you

I think this has to be ironed out, people are not gambling because they are winning or earning from doing so, they are gambling because of the understanding that its a form of game in which they need to do and enjoy their selves whenever they are having time to play, they wouldn't mind the cost on doing that since its all about catching fun with gambling rather than making money as some gamblers have already misunderstood the whole thing.

I think op's friend gone mad with his greedyness and Some people those who think gambling is a way to get rich person in a quickest time he is on that list. These people don't know what is the main motive of  gambling they should know that firstly gambling is not only for making money also having fun also there should be some rules for not getting traps also. They should know how to control their self then enter in gambling.

He who fight and run away lives to fight another day, one of the reasons why people after lossing will still go back to gamble is as a result of chasing losses and if gambling is seen beyond to be just a game it leads to addiction which is very bad because at that point you are no longer in control of the game it is the game that is controlling you at that point which can be very devastating and causing emotional unrest. Gambling should be a fun play. Yeah there is an excitement that comes with winning such that any one who has been lossing might want to continue in order to see if they can still win and as well the that experience of winning

Due to house edge, most of the time it is more like 49/51 to casinos favour which means that you are not going to get what you want out of the gambling because even if you end up with just straight up one loss and one win back to back all the time that means you are going to lose all of your money. Realizing that you are going to lose your money no matter whatever you do, is a way to do better on the long run and should be something that we care about.

We cannot really make a lot of changes at all times, but we need to end up doing something that could benefit everyone as well. It is not that easy and it takes time but realizing it eventually will make you richer because you will stop trying to make money from casinos and you will start to see them as just entertainment and nothing more.

Actually i don't encourage anyone to gamble because it is a person's personal freedom so whoever has money and can spend that money anywhere. Your friend is getting addicted to bad gambling and is constantly losing money so stop him from doing it. If not the next gambler may go into the various crime worlds to raise money. Gambling is all about luck so there is a lot of testing of luck along with dealing with wasting money and you can't change luck at will. There are many people who lose bets again and again because they know that there is no technique to improve luck.

In fact, we've had a lot of similar threads in discussions about things like your post. in fact, I almost always say the same things regarding gambling, losing, continuing to bet even when losing. but ok, there's nothing wrong with what you made in this thread. after all, everything is still within the theme of discussion about gambling. in your friend's case, there are actually many of us in the community who almost do the same thing, in fact there are many factors and causes for someone to do it continuously even though the fact is that they always lose. however, every gambler has different causes but in the same case. in short, lack of self-control and other external factors. so, what should I suggest? if he is my friend, it is very important to get to know the personality of the person we want to give advice to. Don't let our suggestions be accepted otherwise. that's why, if you don't have good, appropriate advice, and can really help him. or, at least provide a solution. I don't recommend it to you, unless your friend asks you for advice directly. the problem is simple, it is not certain that your suggestions will be accepted and listened to by our friends. the cause, there are various factors regarding the psychology of gambling. but if it makes you want to give advice, give him a good overview of gambling, an understanding of responsibilities and limits that only he can afford. after that, your task is complete. for me, it's that simple. one important thing to know before suggesting, if you also do the same thing, it's the same as a joke.

Because they're addicts? Because they're delusional, hopeful, need to win to feel better or change their financial situation... But maybe they keep coming back because they enjoy playing. Maybe they know that eventually they'll hit a jackpot. It's really hard to describe all the reasons behind people going strong despite difficulties and losses. Why does one person give up at first signs of trouble while someone else keeps going until the body gives up? The answer is that some people are more stubborn, have strong psyche and most can't do math.

Because gambling is about luck, sometimes we lose and some others we win. But the important thing here is knowing when to stop the session, understanding when you already won enough for a day and walking away with your profit.

And the losing streaks can be rude, sometimes it takes several days or weeks to gat back to a winning run. But the only way to do it is by keep trying it.

If the lose is huge or bigger than you can afford, then is time to quit gambling, that's the right thing to do when you don't understand your limits or when you are an emotional player.

I do emphasize on this everyday and the every time that gambling is all about opportunity and the luck when you are opportune to win a good or larger amount of money in a gambling platform it is not based on your prediction it is based on your lock and the amount you deposited because it is obvious that the higher the amount in the deposit in gambling with determine the rate of your winning amount so winning a small amount of money is dependable on how much or the value of money you stake, why some persons may use small amount and deposit and win high ratios of money.

That's right, and I would like to add that in gambling, of course, it is important to remember about money management. It is like an indispensable companion in the world of gambling. I believe that anyone who at least occasionally tries their luck at the gaming table or in an online casino should strictly monitor their finances.

One of the key rules here is to allocate a small share of your salary to gambling entertainment. This will help not only to control your spending, but also to avoid serious financial problems. It is important to set a limit and stick to it, not allowing yourself to exceed the established limits.

We all love excitement and adrenaline, but it is important to remember that a responsible attitude to your money is the key to success and enjoyment of the game.

Although gambling is full of uncertainty, it is also full of unexpected surprises. Many people have high hopes for the gambling they do, even though their gambling experience is not good, where they spend more money than they earn.

Winning becomes addictive, and losing becomes more and more curious about gambling. And that's how gambling is, where they continue to spend the money they have to place bets, and when they win, they lose the winnings by continuing to gamble without stopping, with the hope that a bigger win will come their way. However, instead of getting a bigger win than before, this behavior only makes him lose even more and loses what he has and earned.

And if you meet a friend who behaves like that, before everything gets even worse. Tell them how important it is to limit the budget and time spent gambling, because this can help them to control their gambling activities better.

If he has been winning less amount of money, then he should stop compiling games that will end up making him win little amount, for him to even win less amount, it then means he has the potential to win big, because there are thousands of people that haven't even won that little he has been winning. So my take is for him to either increase his stake given how lucky he has been in winning little amount, so a high stake will give him leverage to win big too.
Every gambler has his day, and it will come unannounced, so he should keep on keeping on because in gambling, consistency is the key.

There's always an emotional attachment every time you gamble, and the eagerness to win and expecting it to happen might be one of the reason why gamblers keep coming back despite of having their losses, and i think this is already part of a human nature of every gambler. There's a risk in gambling and profit is not guaranteed but due to its emotional impact to every gambler, most of them forced to gamble more with a hope of winning big.

Some people just believe the more they play is a way for them to easily win but gambling doesn't work that way. Gambling is a game of luck which means it is not about the number of times a game is played that will being a win . People play gambling more to win because they do not have understanding of how gambling works, and this is how they end up becoming addicted to gambling because they feel the game is all about playing more that will guarantee a win. Lack of understanding makes people to think money can be made from playing gambling and this gives people more confidence of playing the way they like.

You have no idea what it looks like to gamble and lose money... First of all, gambling isn't a one-way fund raising program - that alone should tell you that they'll be times you'd lose money ... Now, it's up to you to decide whether or not you wanna keep gambling! Do you understand why People keep gambling after several losses now?

Secondly, trying to chase your loses is what makes the whole situation worse... Most people also indulge in gambling multiple tickets at once - like wagering on several virtual games with heavy stakes in one round, which could reach up to $500. If none of those tickets hit the jackpot, it's a lose lose for them.

On the time that you;

1. Tending to chase up your loses
2. Sudden burst of emotions
3. Trying to win up even if it means on spending up tons
4. Being confident about being a winner
5. Just for fun

These are the possible reasons or situations on which you would really be having in mind on the time that you do play gambling. It is really just that there are individuals
who would really be that not that much be good when it comes on controlling themselves on the time that they would really be losing up that composure or losing up
that kind of discipline on the time that they would really be having those kind of experiences specially on playing up on gambling.
If you wont really be that making yourself that careful then you would really be ending up on having that issue.

You should encourage your friend to stop gambling as it won't give him pleasure anymore. I don't know how your friend's gambling strategy but I could say that he is too emotional and irresponsible gambler. Changing his gambling strategy and behavior will change the results as well but most of all, he should control his betting. More gamblers suffer losses because they never know exactly what they have to do and most of the time we been relying on "there is next bet, may I was lucky", so we make bets again.

Gambling will definitely influence our mind which is why we should limit our time spend to it as well.

What he should do is to have self control. If he feels like he is not that lucky when it comes to gambling, he shouldn't force himself on playing regularly. Instead, he should take a break and stop complaining that he had a less chance of winning in gambling. Take the time-off he needed in gambling and change that kind of mindset he had.

After taking a break he can have a fresh start playing, or even better to consider trying another type of game, maybe he might do better on other games.

so many of people who is into gambling does not know about the gambling that is why they always complain of losing in gambling if you not the strategy store operate in gambling I don't think that you'll be able to complaining or be losing gambling because I know that whoever that loses in gambling it is the person personal fault

Even from the start, the possibility of winning your bet is still based on luck because it's a 50/50 probability. It might still look cool even if you lose your bet in your first few tries. Once you have lost everything, you get emotional and start to gamble revengefully in order to just gain back the funds you have already lost. If reverse is the case, like the way you suggested, when a gambler starts gambling, they can win some rounds, which will motivate them to keep gambling even if they are losing. They will still believe that they have had the same streak of luck as when they initially started and lastly they end up still losing everything.

Rationally it can be a little difficult for some gamblers to continue staking and placing bets even if they've recently lost some bets. However for some others it really isn't much of a big deal. The main fact most of the time that determines if the gambler would continuously stake and bet even if they lost recently is either the magnitude of their loss or even their personal reasons or choice.
Every gambler has his pattern of placing bets and most of the time, as a responsible gambler you should have a threshold for how much money you put into placing bets. And if doesn't exceed the target limit, it should not be much of a big deal. However it would not be rational to continue staking and placing bets even when you've exceeded your limit and continue losing. gamblers who often do such things can easily be seen as a Gambling addict by most people.

It is true that some people who gamble think of gambling as a place to make money, that's why they find it very difficult to control themselves when betting because all they think about is winning, so they gamble and play it greedily, of course they are the ones who lose in betting. This is because they are their own fault for not being able to manage gambling well, but if they can gamble well then there is a possibility that they will be able to win on the bets they play.

I don't think that they got into gambling without having an idea that they're going to lose. If they gamble and they complain that they have lost, they're not responsible people.

But I don't think no one on Earth is like that.

They'd gamble and they don't have an idea what gambling is, in the first place they need to deposit whether it's with the physical or offline and online.

Which means they know gambling but I just can't understand it.

And when they are unable to control and control these desires and dreams, this will trigger addiction. Yes, because every time they lose, then they will feel that in the next round, they will get that luck, and then it will be like this until they don't feel it, they are addicted to gambling. However, if they have a gambling addiction, it will be quite difficult to stop it on their own, unless they have a big problem that will really make their life changing or if they get help from people around and treatment by professionals.

And here is what when someone's getting into addiction, cannot stop doing gambling and making problems.

When we are aware of it, when we are not getting stuck on gambling more and more, and as long as we are able to control ourselves in gambling, this won't be a big problem. The matter is when we are losing control and get into addiction, then, this will make us so difficult to stop and continue whatever happen. We must be aware that someone's luck will not lay forever, and luck cannot be expected to get into us every time we want it.

I’m having to try your luck, you don’t always get to win. Such is the nature of gambling, you either lose or gain. Wish ever way it turns, you get to try again another day. Your luck doesn’t end with just one bet or in a single day.

Other times, you find users to have lost in gambling, chasing their lose with more and more stakes and even bigger stakes. This happens to be a terrible strategy and those who find themselves in this situation often incur more loses. As a gambler, loses shouldn’t scare you but, it should rather make you conscious of your gambling habit and device means to keep it in check. You can also archive this by proper budgeting of your income and just how much you would be okay gambling with.

Greed works so much in these gamblers that they don't see their own losses. Being attracted by greed, they face losses by making bigger bets. I've seen a lot of addicts, get back into their lives, and become happy again after they get help, but it can be very difficult for an addicted gambler to do that, because they affect the people around them and ruin their whole life. They are able to get help before their addiction taking value from their lives.

Have your friend heard of cumulative profit? If no, it is the profit one gets after summing his entire profit up and most times it is a huge amount that is being gotten. Your friend in this case is winning and not losing at all which is good there are gamblers who are looking for such luck int their gambling career.

Tell your friend it is better to have a consistence winning streak than winning sometimes and losing sometime. If he sums up all the profit, he had made he would see that he has made a good amount of money without losing anyone at all.

When people lose, they always hope to win back (while often losing more and more). It's like a vicious circle. The brain is excited by the thought that I am about to catch the bird of luck by the tail. But this bird is getting farther and farther away. To start winning, you must first of all calm down and analyze your losses

I don’t know if this suggestion is accurate but you’re actually giving your friend hope why he should gamble consistent for a lucky huge win someday. You don’t hope when gambling likewise a gambler not predicting rightly,  what I’m trying to explain is consistency and luck walk differently so you can see a gambler who gamble for year but no huge win meanwhile a new gambler who just started can get lucky and win. Your friend is not ready yet for gambling or else gambling win remains gambling win or else your friend want the life changing win which is so rare. The advice your friend need right now is never expect anything big or small from a game, aside gambling or other games, competition etc. expecting something huge is basically not guarantee so why not prepare your mind to face any situation big or small.

Lucky him that he still win even if it's a small amount only, what more if he experience losing every single bets that he make? less expectations can lead you in having smooth and stress free gambling session because sometimes, the more you expect, the more you lose. Gambling is a risky game and there's no certainty of winnings that's why I must say that he is one of the lucky persons doing gambling, what should your friend do is to enjoy the game and do not expect anything in return.

If most gamblers continue to gamble despite everything that they often lose, maybe it's because they have experienced winning that gave them joy. And the joy they felt is probably what drives them to continue to gamble.

Of course, we know that money can't buy the happiness we feel if it's true, right? This is one of the reasons why I said these things. And the other reasons—I'm not sure about those either.

Well, you are actually right but that might also lead them to become an addict because they will want to recover their loss money but the more they gamble, the more they lose even when knowing fully well that there is no progress but they don't want to give up, although it might turn out good for them but that won't be enough for what they lose and once they become an addict, it will really affect them in their lives, so to avoid that, they should set limits on how they are going to spend for that day and they will spend too, that way might even help them to be winning more than losing.

It's not fun because OP's friend feels that while he's been gambling he's never experienced a big win, even though in fact it's not only OP's friend who feels that way. I think there are also many people who haven't experienced a big win in their life while they're involved in gambling because gambling games are more involved in there is a risk of losing. So whatever we play, we have to be able to accept whether we lose or win, don't expect gambling to give us big wins by gambling continuously because to get that we need luck and also dare to bet bigger amounts of money in order to get big profits too. But don't regret it if you end up losing and you lose a large amount of your money.

Everyone who gambles definitely wants big profits but they don't realize that to win big profits they also have to think about the risks and dare to bet large amounts but if they only use small money to gamble then the winnings won't be big and will continue like that. It is better to think of gambling as fun, we will feel pleasure when gambling and not feel the pressure of having to win gambling that matches our expectations.

Getting a small win is much better than losing and losing the amount of money at stake, this is gambling where winning depends on luck, so just assume that maybe it's your luck even though the amount of winnings is small. Having the ability to be content and grateful with whatever amount of winnings you get is a good mindset when we talk about gambling, not least because as we know that most gamblers who always act greedy actually end up running out of more money than they win.

And as you said that gambling by limiting the expectation of winning can make us go through the session calmly and avoid stress, and that's true because actually in gambling even if you manage to get a big enough win but if you don't feel satisfied then obviously in the end you will continue the session with some more crazy actions and decisions that will basically make yourself closer to losing a significant amount. So it's better to be grateful for whatever amount of winnings you get, because there are always some gamblers who find it difficult to win even in small amounts which is because they are really far from luck.

The problem is that your friend is weak, I mean weak in his mind and decision-making, that is what he has to tackle since that is the source of his problem. He needs the Willpower to say No and Yes at the right times and over the right things so that he will not just be wasting himself away and the resources he has. He should start by acknowledging the fact that gambling is an extra activity and, not the mains of life.

By virtue of this, he should stop believing that his blessings are in gambling, otherwise, he will remain in his poor state. He should rather look for a better earning means, especially the ones that will get him so engaged with them and invariably disengaged with gambling. That's the way out. And if it is difficult for him to unplug himself from the act immediately, no problem, he should start by trying to give himself some breaks from it. It could be a day, two, a week and so on. It might be insignificant at first, but upon increasing this painstakingly, he will discover that he is getting loose off gambling.

Nevertheless, since he has not been gaining at all, that could mean that he is gambling only the casino aspect of it, why not he try sports betting? However, if the result is the same after about 3 months, I strongly urge your friend to quit gambling, it's not just his thing.

But, how long since your friend started playing gambling? If he is playing for a very long time now, I'm sure that he already experienced a big win but he is only there when he is confessing to you, although it also has to do with the amount that he used for placing his bets. If he is only using small amounts, then yeah that he can also win small.

It also has to do with the game that we are playing, as some has a limitation when it comes to the multiplier that they can gave to us. And the reason on why he can't stop is because he already tasted a victory before or simply the adrenaline rush in gambling already got him, just like the rest of us. Your advice towards your friend is alright but if if were to give mine, I think that is: 'He should only play amounts that he can afford to lose'.

Yes, that's it. Addiction is quite easy to emulate but very difficult to kick off when it has deeply consumed the gambler. There is a popular saying that "prevention is better than cure." It's better to prevent gambling addiction at an earlier stage, when the gambler still has regular symptoms. It's true that a gambler can get lucky in the next round, but when they keep trying and the luck is not coming, then the best thing is to take a break and continue next time because the more the person continues to bet, the more losses they get and become emotional, which can lead to addiction. 

But normally, gamblers don't give up gambling because they lose the first round; they will still try next time. Though they should not do it frequently to avoid addiction,. 

If actually he's wining little by little, there may be possibility that he may win big someday. So he should continue and never give up. but he shouldn't gamble more than what he can afford to lose. Sometimes a particular strategy you may be using will be the best pattern to use.  He should keep staking smaller amounts till he hit the jack pot. But if he deviate from that strategy, he may end up not even wining atol or losing more friqeuntly than the regular win.

Yes, I like that saying which is applicable to everything as an idea to make one realize that cure is always much more difficult than prevention which means it is clear that prevention is always much better than cure in any case, especially if we talk about gambling which has a very bad impact that can destroy one's life in various aspects. In the end, I strongly agree with what you said above that a gambler must have any measures to prevent addiction as early as possible, and maybe I will give one tip so that you can avoid the possibility of addiction by maintaining awareness of how bad the impact is in gambling along with being based on firmness in terms of implementing it, none other than because as we know that addiction can occur unconsciously which makes a gambler fall into and get carried away over time.

Another thing is that as you said, a gambler should always have the ability to stop at the right time such as when losing especially to prevent the possibility of more significant losses. And if they are a gambler who really struggles to do that then I think what needs to be fixed is their understanding of how gambling actually works.

Yes, we don't have the complete right to prohibit their money from gambling, at least by prohibiting it we can make them aware of it. Agree with what you say, there have been many cases of this, if someone is addicted to gambling and has lost quite a lot from gambling, the bad impact is that they will turn to crime if they don't have any money left to gamble. They will do anything to get money and do it again. It's better to love your money for something useful.

If addiction normally happens out of one's consciousness, then a gambler is supposed to be evaluating their gambling lifestyle once in a while to make sure that they are still in good conduct. In everything that someone is doing, self-reflection is very important. I don't know about others, but for me in particular, I do something at a time and I think about it all to see if it was really the right thing to do or not, and if I realize I have been doing the wrong thing all the while, then I will just retrace and put myself in place.

Having that control and awareness is something that cant really be effective or could really be that be able to mind when you are on such condition specially on the time that gambling addiction is gradually consuming you on which it is really that hard to be done with those things that you do have in mind earlier that you should have that kind of control and discipline about your spending and since
we are just humans then we would really be that having that possibility that those things that you had set earlier would really be forgotten and you would really be focusing on whats up into your front on which you would really be that continuing on the things that you've been dealing up or simply gamble even more. This is why treat gambling as a form of entertainment and not something that you would really be talking about making money because this is where things becomes shit if you do make yourself having those shit decisions.  :D

I think your friend here is getting drawn to gambling addiction which is a concerning sign, seeing that he can't stop gambling even though he gets bad results from it and clearly they are affecting his mind. This is one of the reasons some people may fall into gambling addiction, when they chase their losses hoping they'll pay them back and double the earning.

The right thing to do here is to advise your friend to stop gambling, because it will clearly just make him broke and cause damage to him, your friend probably isn't aware of his state so try to make it clear for him and especially mention the bad consequences of gambling addiction.

There is this saying that states that nothing good comes easy , people will lose in gambling and still go ahead to gamble because of the following :
1. Gambling is a game of luck
2. There are chances of them recovering their lost money
3.There is possibillity Of the Person turning To a milllionaire with his last bets And many more other reasons

No one has Ever become successful that much without a little bit of failure , they wil lose money from time To time But continous trial can make them meet their luck one day. In gambling when you give up you lose all And when you try over time you can recover your  lost funds . And So many people have their reasons of not giving up which invariably depends on the Choice of the gambler .

Depends on a lot of factors but nine times out of ten the only reason why people even gamble after tanking a massive loss is either they are still in it for the biscuit, or they're already 10 feet deep into revenge gambling and they think the more money they throw down the wastebin the higher the chances of them winning.

As for your friend, the results speaks for itself. He already notices that he loses more money than he makes when he gambles, and he's still pushing for it? That's some capital R behavior right there if I ever saw one. Most people upon noticing that something's wrong would already make moves that would improve upon their current state, your friend complains and does the same shit hoping things would change this time around, that's some S-rank stupidity.

The choice becomes clear, he needs to introspect and find ways to improve his gambling journey. Most people would outright just quit right then and there and honestly I'd love for him to do the same thing as well, since he's clearly ignorant to his own misgivings.

I'll describe my silly story from a few weeks ago.
I had a sizable betting advantage from a multibet I did in a couple of matches that saw me earn more than x13 a couple of weeks ago and I had funds that I could have withdrawn at any time and with my large financial situation, I was confident and prepared to withdraw some of my money.

But the problem arose when my sanity was lost due to ambition as there were so many matches including semi-finals in the Champions League, Europa League and some big matches in domestic leagues such as La Liga and EPL that I was tempted to reuse most of the profits I had made earlier by betting again but the result backfired as I not only lost the profits from my big win, now the balance left in my account was not too much which made me realize that foolishness came to me at that time.
Although I always say gambling responsibly from the beginning, but at some moments in the end I have difficulty controlling it including a few weeks ago so it can also be the answer to why we always gamble even though we have experienced defeat and cannot stop because it is indeed a strong ambition that makes all our defenses and responsibilities become chaotic.

The ambition to earn more is human nature. But if you want to contain such emotion, you need to be strict with yourself even if you talk to yourself again and again. Most gamblers have the same dilemma, playing again after winnings. But to at least mitigate such emotion, you need to pause and ask yourself - to what extent you want this betting life of yours? How much losses you can bear before you stop?

The reasons are nothing new so to speak. We all know why most gamblers continue to bet even if they got their winnings already. They want more and that's the common reasoning for most. What else do you think gamblers want aside from money? Fun, pleasure?

Gambling is a game of luck, and you cannot expect to win at any time, have luck, and win while complaining about it. In my opinion, if he can't take the risk any longer, he should leave gambling because it doesn't favour him, which is why he is winning small amounts of money. He should instead look for another business or something else that will profit him before he starts betting too much and becomes addicted to it. Gambling is a game of chance, and if you lose today, tomorrow he may favour you, and you will always expect to win when you bet because it is a risky game. Bet with money you can afford to lose, not the one you will be regret why you bet on the game. That is why I bet for excitement whenever my favourite club has a match, so I can enjoy watching it. So, if he is unable to quit betting, he should reduce his playing time so that his money lasts and the bet does not profit from him.

Yes, I think it is a fact that addiction can happen at any time with any scenario without the gambler realizing it, and usually the addiction scenario starts when at the beginning of the involvement someone manages to get a big win that makes them feel very happy which in turn puts great expectations on winning. Sometimes people who come with the right approach such as gambling for fun will always have the possibility to experience changes in their mindset, all because of the many temptations that look tempting which when a gambler is careless then various things that look tempting can change their mindset, This means that in gambling, no matter how good your approach is, in the end, fun can still turn into tension along with some pressure, and this can usually also be caused by a gambler mismanaging the time to gamble, for example, they gamble at the wrong time when they are experiencing personal problems, which means that losing in gambling can make them get caught up in emotions even though their initial intention was only to find pleasure.

And maybe I will go back to saying something that I have previously said above that one of the tips so that we can slightly avoid the possibility of addiction is to apply full awareness driven by assertiveness to maintain that awareness, the goal is that we are able to identify whether what we are doing is right or wrong, almost the same as what you said above.

The type of gambler like your friend will usually become addicted to gambling because he will continue to chase the money he hopes to win big at gambling, that's not what gambling was actually created for, gambling was created to make people happy with their money, especially rich people, so Don't expect to win big if your friend is just poor, but luckily your friend still wins a small amount even though in accumulation he still loses, your friend has to stop doing it so he doesn't lose a lot of money.

The more money you use for gambling, the greater the risk, so why spend time and money all the time just wanting to win big, why not look for fun there, maybe that's what you should do so you don't get tempted by lots of money, if your friend really wants to make money ask him a lot to work hard or do business so he can get a lot of money, in gambling there are no people who are rich and win a lot, although there are those who are lucky, it's very small, the dealer will always win whenever your friend fights him, that's what actually happens, your friend just throws away waste money and time in uncertain pursuits.

You are right mate. A gambler is not supposed to gamble when they are not mentally prepared for such activity because it can result to loses even in a situation where they are not supposed to lose. Gambling do with mental and emotional readiness, if someone is not prepared for such activities,  they can never performan well and can never catch the fun they have even wanted to archive.

Addiction to gambling goes beyond pulling a lever or playing cards. Your brain lights up like a Christmas tree after your first major triumph. Like drugs, man. You follow that feeling even when the chances are against you because it hijacks your reward system. It goes beyond luck. It depends on your brain wiring, life events, and money and risk beliefs. Not everyone is susceptible, and it's hard to predict who will tumble down that rabbit hole

What can you do? Man, be aware. When playing, you must be mindful of your emotions. Thinking you're invincible or about to win big is a red flag. It's time to reconsider. In the zone, it's hard to accomplish that. Flashing lights and coins striking the tray can make you lose track of time. Set limits, know when to leave, and have a support system if needed

Your friend has two problems, one is that he is expecting something out of gambling for which he does not have the skills to do, and second most likely he is unwilling to listen to the advice of anyone else regarding their gambling as they believe to know better, so you need to be incredibly tactful with how you approach this issue, as if you are too forceful in the way you address it, you can be sure he is going to automatically assume you are wrong and you do not know what you are talking about.

It all depends on the amount of money his friend wagers. Your response is good, piebeyb, but I disagree where you point that gambling only works best for the rich. I understand that gambling requires lots of money to win big, but smaller amounts are being looked down on, because it looks small. Little amount of wins can amount to a million dollars in two years depending on the consistency of the player. However, the rich players also get a big loss for wagering huge amount of money. Additionally, sport gamblers can make a kill with a small amount of money. Our perspectives of gambling is contrary based on experiences but his friend is not getting things right. He's not meant to be bothered about this in the first instance. Players are required to focus on understanding their game.

Not complaining over who wins big or not. And if his painful complaints persists, I think he should quit gambling and do other things, like you suggested. On the other flip, gamblers don't feel comfortable accepting losses. It all happens like a self argument where one blames not listening to his instinct as the cause for his losses. Then he tries again, hopefully the player may win, this then cement his thoughts on wagering more until all is lost. Whenever a player doesn't stop playing he'll lose more regardless of his understanding of the game. Although it's not wrong to lose in gambling, it's all about withstanding those losses. Not feeling sad about it. Gamblers who don't trust their strategy tend to continue playing while losing. Their goal is more money not fun.

That is the point where sometimes when losing no matter how big in the end continue to gamble because there is an ambition that sometimes we can never keep and we can't think rationally about it which makes this complicated and only realize that what we did was a mistake after we lost.

Agreed with what you said where we have to be strict with ourselves but indeed at some moments there is a point where we just can't rely on that and instead get carried away so that we forget the self-defense that we have built in discipline in gambling and that's what happened to me a few weeks ago. But for now regretting is also useless because it will not come back again so the most important thing for now is how we can better control ourselves and make this experience so that we are not easy to get caught up in the emotions of gambling.

 The simple answer to the OP's post is addiction, yes cause once an individual is addicted to something it's quite difficult for them to let go of it moat times, that's why most individuals would always fall back to gambling even when they lose huge amount of money to it, there are some  who are addicted but they don't really know they're, to them they feel they're trying their luck and would probably succeed someday but the truth is they've become addicted.

 Another thing is casing loses, this have been discussed in several gambling threads but I think there should be a constant awareness of the consequences of chasing loses to those individuals who do it would desist from it, apart from greed one of the major things that make gamblers become addicted is when they chase lose, it goes wrong most of the times and a bettor might end up having series or losing streaks.

People cannot resist having fun, they don't even mind if it cost them money to be used to gamble, you will discover that while some gamblers are lamenting on losses from gambling, some are not seeing this as a challenge in any way because they have the money needed to gamble with and were not gambling with the mentality of making profits, which i think should be the primary reason why everyone as well should be gambling with such understanding.

other people have no intention of making gambling as their main source of income which is a good mentality that everyone should learn but it's hard to follow especially that other people gamble to make money and that's not anymore can be prevented because we have different reasons why we gamble. You're lucky if you just gamble for fun and you have money a money just for your gambling activity, but what about the others who can't really stop even if they don't have any money? they will be forced to continue gambling even if they have nothing just to recover the money they lost.

This is called "chasing the big wins" I guess. When a gambler wins small money, he starts chasing a big win, when he loses, he starts "chasing the loss" in order to recover his money and even win a decent profit. This doesn't end well. Don't give him false hope that he will just make a big win and quit afterwards.
Complaining that you aren't winning enough out of gambling seems stupid and immature. What does he expect? The casino giving him money because he's so cool? ;D
You didn't tell us what kind of gambling games does your friend play? Is it dice, slots, roulette or is it poker or blackjack?

They gets tempts from gambling and keeps playing gambling without realizes that they already lose much money. Those type people will lose more and more money, especially if they don't aware about their lose. They will regrets their lose money when they stops playing gambling but that doesn't makes them really stops because they will back to the casino and continue playing gambling. Those people who lose only see their lose is just a challenge to gets their money back without realizes that they can't do that because gambling will not gives their lose money easily. They can just lose more and more money, even if they used more money. If people can break for a while from gambling and thinks about what they did, they will see that they made mistake and needs to fix it by learn to control themselves.

I guess it is because of the adrenaline that gamblings give you,the adrenaline gets even bigger when the amount is increased.I know from personal experience that when the reels of the slots are spinning your heart beats faster and the feeling of being super hooked into it is great.Unfortunately this feeling ends as soon as the money and play is over and it becomes a feeling of sadness and regret,most people only realize this when they have lost.

You have advised him a wrong way mate because you only let him deal and find positive when he is still losing , remember that there are very few that won in gambling instead majority receive losses and that would be the reality that you must tell him.

and i also believe that better to not let him gamble until time comes that you guys understand what is gambling and how risky is this.

It means that such a scenario has an addiction in his character, so he can't stop himself from simply stopping gambling. Even though he knows he already has a win to take home, And one of the reasons is that greed has entered his mind.

And when that's the case, it's hard to get rid of it, or it's possible that he's already chasing the amount he lost. That's why it usually doesn't catch up when the situation is like that.

Yes, with their goal of just having fun, they can't help themselves, maybe at first their goal was to have fun, but because of the results that made them disappointed it actually made them want to continue gambling because they wanted to get what they wanted. Unconsciously they have spent a lot of money on gambling where they are no longer having fun but pursuing wins that are not necessarily easy to get nor are there clear guarantees. When they realize that they have spent a lot of money and have lost a lot of money there is a possibility that they will regret it, but that is sometimes not the end of everything. There are gamblers who still insist on gambling again because they may really want to get a win that can cover the many losses they have experienced.
With those who gamble only thinking about winning, it becomes one of their encouragement to continue gambling even though they have experienced successive defeats. Also, they should not gamble with the aim of making money, because when the money they bet is lost, they may not be able to accept it and make them take or take actions that should not be.

People do it because they like it, and in the case of your friend, he does it because he has got some expectation on the amount he could win by partaking in gambling regularly. So besides of the fact he likes the thrill of wagering money (as most gamblers do), he has expectations which is the harmful part of his sessions.
My opinion is you friend should get some kind of counseling, talk to someone with has experience with gamblers, both responsible and reckless ones, so he can understand what his position is and how potentially dangerous all of this is to him.

The best case scenario would be him Already being aware of how gambling works, so he is just venting on his losses, which is not necessarily bad, though.

People have different attitudes to gambling, for some, adrenaline is important, for others, winning is important, and for others, they just like the process. So if those who like to win will lose a lot, they will stop gambling because it will not meet their requirements.

You may be right about the adrenaline, when a player risks money they get a high adrenaline rush, and they like it. Someone jumps with a parachute, someone plays gambling, these are different degrees of adrenaline. But in gambling you don’t always need to spend a lot of money, even small bets can be enough, so it may not be expensive, you just need to think carefully about whether this makes sense, or whether you can find another way to get adrenaline if you only lose in gambling.

because that is the concept of gambling to make people have hopes and believe they can recover from their losses and for me that must not be the proper understanding of the people.
gambling is where most people are being mislead of this knowledge .

Big wins obtained by people with big ambitions, most of yesterday's money winnings run out and come back again. and even big money winnings will disappear again and that's what I see from around me. without realizing it, a lot of time is wasted because of gambling, because you play too much. Over time there will be a position where we succeed in getting a big win

You did not tell us if your friend is addicted to gambling or not, for if your friend is not addicted, then I believe that the advice would be that he keep trying regardless of how many times he failed, gambling like you said is a game of luck, we either win or lose, but reason for the constant loss is because the house makes it so, which means, we are more likely to lose a game than win, and we should also realize that many of those who end up winning really big amount played for a long time and lost many of their games and bets before eventually reaching that point of winning big, so for someone who is not addicted, the best advice would be that he or she keep trying and one day, he or she will definitely get a hit.

On the other hand, if the player is addicted to gambling, the best advice would be that he or she stop, stop gambling before it destroys him or her.

Yes, that's the first thing that a gambler should pay attention to which as you said that a person must first have a mature self-preparation before finally engaging in gambling which is one of them by preparing mentally and emotionally so that everything remains fine, or the intention is that they are not easy to always end up with emotions when gambling. As I said earlier that in gambling fun can turn into tension when the person is fooled and carried away regardless of their purpose of gambling.

But on the other hand the whole key is to apply firmness to consciousness, which means you should always be able to realize that you are gambling which is always about winning and losing, and when you are able to maintain the realization that losing is a natural thing in gambling then I think it is less likely for you to experience emotions because you already know that emotions are always a part of gambling.

Yes, it usually happens around us and I once had a friend who was a gambler. He often said that he would stop gambling for a month if he won big and would go on holiday with his family, but it really happened. He won big at that time but it didn't last for a week. he has gambled again with the money he won because he feels that his winnings are still not enough to go on holiday. I know that everyone will continue to be obsessed with wanting to win big when they win, so it is important to control yourself when gambling, especially when you win or when you lose. .

Every gambler should have a certain budget limit so that they can get used to it when they lose and their budget runs out, they can stop gambling and play again at a later date, this should be done consistently so that they get used to it and know when to gamble and when to stop gambling, this is important For everyone before playing gambling, they know when to stop gambling, especially when they win big, but we rarely find people who can consistently do it. Even though in reality it is very difficult to do, for the good of the gambler there is no harm in trying.

Almost everyone has complaints about gambling where they don't win big. But in reality, those who gamble only for the big win will stop at some point. Because there is a word called luck in gambling. When I first take bet I longed to win but didn't win and when I bet and held to lose I won more than I expected. Since then I never look forward to a big win. Unexpected winnings in gambling can bring more joy. My suggestion here is that gambling should not be considered in terms of making money or just winning. When the gambler removes the thought of winning from his mind, he can enjoy gambling.

People who depend on gambling to sustain and survive for themselves are the ones that find it this difficult to let go of gambling .Almost everyone has different stars in the gambling world,I've seen a man who has literally achieved so much from gambling,from buying a car,owning a house and lots more.

I do not criticize people who gamble,but having the mindset or feeling of making big wins from gambling is obviously not a good approach towards ones life.Its just puts you at risks and renders lots of disappointments.

There's still risks if you do play without minding about having money since you could be able to do so or simply that financially capable. Doing this might not really that give out that kind of stress but of course it would really be having some later con's on which you would definitely be that suffering if you do continue such behavior. Yes, its good that you wont really be finding yourself that getting stressed with gambling or on the money you do spend but as we do all know that everything should really be in moderation if you do really like for you not to mess up your life with or because of gambling.

Always set limits and only spend on the money that you can afford to lose as always. Dont make yourself that being desperate specially on chasing up your loses because on the time that
you would really be doing this then you are just basically putting up yourself into more bigger or much harm which you might be regretting for the rest of your life
and this is something that you should really be looking out for.

Gambling is all about hopes and greediness with usually peoples want to be shot cut for having their all hopes which ending on wrong way and then mostly are ruin their life even in developed countries we are now having some changes which are working for them, and they are also trying to adopt them which are a positive way of having end of this addiction but in developing countries we are going with the worst things nothing is happening positive and peoples jumps into this for having huge success in short time, but this is not working, and their troubles are increasing which are creating problems in societies but hopes and greediness are still not ending and things are running with these things lives are also ending on negativity, but all is going.

When victory arrived, I felt that big luck was happening. but did not realize that before losing big money, time was taken up playing. It's almost disproportionate to winning, but the gambling player's obsession will be ambitious if the desire for a big win has not been fulfilled to the point of destroying existing money. have to think about  now before playing

I am only going to post based on my own experience. I do lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more because I am hoping to double or increase my gambling capital. It's like I feel weak when I can't gamble to recover my losses. When I have nothing to do and remember my losses, I usually end up gambling again because of that. Maybe it's also to pass the time. Eventhough I really want to stop gambling, I can't control myself into gambling because of my losses, hoping to get a profit quickly and recovery my losses.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with wanting to recover losses, but if you think about it, this will only make us lose more money than make money. with the feeling that I really want to recover the losses that will exist when the gambling I do ends in defeat, I also feel that way. but taking big risky actions is not the solution. Even though sometimes we have to be brave enough to take risks, we have to be able to see what we are doing. When it comes to gambling, it's best not to take bigger risks, because the profits cannot be guaranteed. It's just a suggestion, after that all control is up to each individual.
Most gamblers certainly cannot control themselves when gambling which ends in defeat or victory, because it cannot be hidden that gambling has a strong attraction, so that every player often experiences a loss of self-control. Hopefully, what has happened can be used as a lesson so that it doesn't happen again next time.

Yes, this happens to greedy gamblers who want a big win, but if they don't get it, they will continue to gamble until they get a big win. I even think that even if one day the gambler wins a big amount, I'm not sure he will stop soon, he will continue because he will continue to feel less than his winnings for the time he has used, especially if he calculates the amount of his gambling expenses so far and his winnings have not covered his losses, then he will continue, I think this will only end in vain because we will not get more winnings our total expenses so far.

Instead of chasing big wins, it's better to be grateful for the wins you have, even if they are small, being too ambitious to win big is too risky, especially since we have to invest money first to gamble continuously. If the money you have runs out, you won't be able to gamble anymore and pursue that ambition, so Whatever happens, we must be able to accept that if we lose, give yourself time to rest, don't chase too much ambition to win big.

If he complains then it is better to stop gambling, because gambling is not only about risk and luck, but also the ability to bear losses, if he complains it means he cannot afford to experience losses, even though it is impossible to always profit and also always lose but if he hopes too much being able to win big can make him frustrated and trying to catch up with what is expected.
Consistently betting can open up a big opportunity to win a big amount but the capital he loses could also be bigger, as long as he uses the money he can afford to lose it shouldn't be a problem but because he complains it could be that the money is not what he can afford to lose, so it could be dangerous for him.

I'm going to tell you about one of the reasons why it's so hard to quit even though you already have the intention to quit, one of the reasons is that you still have a grudge against the losses you've experienced which makes you always think of pursuing recovery in gambling which actually makes you even more excessive which indirectly makes the amount of your loss even greater.

This is why a gambler is always advised to only bet the amount they can afford to lose, not least because by having this acceptance, it is less likely for you to feel unacceptable about losing, which means that it is less likely for you to act to chase previous losses. So in my opinion the only way if you really want to stop gambling then you must be able to give up something that has been lost there, only this is the key.

I don’t know why something won’t be beneficial to you and you will find it difficult to stop. If you are gambling just for the sake of money, then you should be able to stop gambling if you are not making the money that you are expecting. Most people who are gambling and can’t stop gambling even when they are losing believe they are definitely going to make money from gambling if they don’t give up. I believe that’s just what most people gambling for the sake of money are always having in mind.
 
If you are the type that’s gambling for fun, then you shouldn’t complain about the money you are winning or losing, you should just gamble freely, and I am sure you will be able to stop gambling whenever you want. Also,  you will be gambling with the amount you know if you lose, it’s not going to affect you.

People keep hoping that they will gain back their losses with the profits if they will continuously playing gambling, they will just realize those things until they lose a lot of money, and people around them, and seem to be lost on their path due to excessive playing of gambling. It is too hard to please other people to stop if they even on themselves can't step their emotions to play more but if you really take care, make him realize what are the cons or impacts of playing gambling so at least that he can reminiscence what things he is doing.

Humans have the nature of greed and greed and humans are given lust and reason. If someone has entered the gambling arena, that is the biggest test that many people face, There are those who escape the gambling trap and there are also those who continue to gamble without stopping, they only aim to win when betting.

Losing and winning have become a part of gambling players towards their users, so the test comes when we lose at gambling, that's when we use common sense or bad sense, if we think well we will think that gambling is not part of life, so leave it, don't come there again, because I never win and gambling makes me lose, On the other hand, our hallucinations say otherwise, of course our minds will think that we have a big desire, no matter what we lose or lose, the important thing is that we can bet.

most gamblers are like that, where it is very difficult for them to get out of the gambling circle because they are still held back by their ego which says that they should be able to win from it. they keep trying and trying until they can get the win they hope for, but without realizing it, they are trapped in a gambling circle and it is difficult to get out of it.

i myself also feel that when i have a losing streak, i tend to want to gamble more money, but fortunately i can still control my desire to gamble even though at some times i choose to go all-in, but that is quite rare. but without realizing it until now i was still gambling and i kept returning to it no matter how hard i wanted to stop.

 absolutely mate you are right that is the common mistakes of everyone of us and I'll experienced it too. I loss my money and then I am thinking that what if I bet more so that when I will win I get my money back. Then I'll bet and bet but in reality I'll loss a lot of money. Which is I don't think the outcome. But I realized that is a big mistake that I made cause chasing losses will bring us more losses so when we will loss today then take a break  for a while and then bet after a few days.

In my opinion, because gambling gives gamblers great hope to win and make a lot of money, this makes gamblers continue to gamble even though they often lose.
And most gamblers think, if I fail to win on the first bet, maybe I will succeed or win on the next bet. And if I still lose then I will play again, and continue like that because I have hope of winning when I play again and continue to have the same feeling and hope to make up for previous losses which ultimately result in bigger losses. And they think giving up after losing is an act of cowardice, even though this act is more than just cowardly.

And the most important thing is to bet with full awareness, because playing with full awareness will give you the ability to control yourself and also be able to master the game, not the game controlling you.

The greed factor is also very influential, the player always wants more and if he loses,then greed takes over from what was lost and a vicious circle occurs. People who do not have self-control definitely have nothing to do in gambling, this is a golden rule.Greed is a sequence of gambling addiction.There are, of course, another group of factors, but this is the main one.

I have never seen someone who has been destroyed by gambling and then stop gambling. I think people who have entered the world of gambling will play even if they play often or rarely gamble. Expectations that are outside the mind poison the brain using emotions that become inappropriate.
If play gambling with detailed losses in terms of time, money or other materials, this will never end and will continue to be in the world of gambling

It's  a rare opportunity, getting someone that listens to and practices those responsible gambling strategies. Some may pay less attention due to the losses they've experienced in gambling, but, once a session starts the player will forget it all. His emotions, wouldn't let him stop, indeed. How about gaining back all the lost money? That's a familiar self questions that keeps popping out from the player's mind.

Personally, I do think the next wager would be the time to win back all the lost money. Yet it keeps going from one stage to another, until the money is speedily spent with no remorse of repeating same mistakes. This shows how magnetic the losing streak works. It holds on to the players like a magnet and drags it wherever direction it feels. Casino utilize any method of holding the player's time and money. Hence players who don't obey any meaning gambling strategy will pay for their mistakes.

Hahaha 😂😂, saying that a gambler's brain lights up lik a Christmas tree is really a perfect description of a gambler's reaction after they have either won or lose in a bet. If they stake and win on the first hand, they will be filled with enthusiasm to stake more, believing that the luck will run in their favor again and when they lose, they will have enough enthusiasm to stake more, believing that they will win that time. Funny how some gamblers react and fall into addiction at the end of the race. 

And when can you say that someone is emotionally ready to gamble? Because there are times when you can just be stressed out due to a busy day or the long distance covered by driving,
 
or anything else that could lead to the person getting tired but doesn't necessarily affect his mind or way of thinking.
 
Aside from the fact that he needs some rest, such a person can relax. Why could receiving air and placing a few bets in gambling be considered such behaviour as the person not being ready?? 

Yes, sure it happens not that often. I mean, in Dice I was winning with 1,000x multiplier many times, I think close to hundred times maybe, but my stake was only a fraction of a cent, so, my won amount wasn't that big either. I remember it was only once when I bet $0.015 and won $15 with 1,000x multiplier. It was only once. Other times my winnings were around $2-$3, not more.

But with slots it's a different story. Since I couldn't bet with less than $0.20, I won pretty good amounts a couple of times:

and I was quite happy with it. :)

This is why it is said that there are people that due to their genetic inheritance are more likely to become addicts, the reward system on your brain, aka dopamine, will reward you with some dopamine after a win, however in most people that reward will be on the small side and this will allow you to stop whenever you want, however for some people the reward will be so stimulant that they will keep gambling just to experiment that feeling again, regardless of the consequences this behavior may have on their finances.

This parable made me really laugh :D, and I believe that it really happens when someone manages to win big at the beginning of his involvement in gambling, when a beginner manages to win big at the beginning of his involvement then yes maybe we can say that their brain is burning like a Christmas tree and when they lose then maybe I would also say that their head is smoking like it is on fire :D

Another thing is that yes it is true as you said which means that when a gambler especially a beginner manages to win then it is a very pleasant situation for him which makes them very enthusiastic and think of continuing the session by betting a bigger amount, And I will say that when someone is too obsessed with the name of victory along with showing a very enthusiastic response then obviously consciousness will decrease in him and this is what makes them feel confident to continue with a much greater amount of risk because they think that it is a good opportunity to take advantage of, and yes in the end they can only regret it because it turns out that the results are not as expected because luck is no longer there.

I haven't heard that before, but the explanation you gave is the truth. There are some gamblers who can just walk away the moment they have won a large amount or the moment they lose all their budget. Although it's difficult to just leave, some people have a strong self discipline to obey their decisions at any time.

Addiction is the major problem that will make anyone to continue gambling even when he is losing because he cannot control himself on when to stop gambling, maybe because he is busy chasing his losses. Another thing is when a gambler is using gambling to pass time will always continue gambling even though they are running at loss.

A gambler can also continue gambling even at loss because he is having fun and have not exceed his gambling budget, he will keep on gambling.

Many of us that are gamblers are having the same problem and if things are not settled it could lead to a bigger problem later. Sometimes we keep betting without even the opportunity for us to make money. We just base on luck for us to make money from betting which is a good move for us if we want to make money from betting space. There was a time I always became an addicted gambler but I was able to understand my doom which trigger me to act fast and stop anything that could increase such a urge. It is very important for us to always try and balance things so we don't end up playing games and still losing especially when we use our hard earned money

Only because that we have discovered its not every gambling that is playing bet is doing that for the sake of making money, some are more concerned on how they will gamble and use it as a means of being entertained and they wont mind on the cost this may incur on them as long as they are going to get satisfied with what they want, all of us cannot because of loosing stop gambling, we are not gambling to earn money, instead for fun.

Of a truth, some people gamble because of the fun they drive from gambling and not necessarily because of the money they lose or win but that's not the only reason why some people still come back to gambling even after losing a lot of money. Some people do come back to gambling after losing a lot of money because of the the fact that they're addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is one of the worst things that can ever happen to any individual because it'll force anyone that's addicted to continue gambling even after losing games. So to avoid going back to gambling even after losing, every gambler is advised to gamble responsibly.

I think there are two reasons why a gambler continues his gambling even after losing. One is that they consider gambling a part of entertainment. I have seen some of the sports bettors who are more inclined to bet during the sports betting period. They enjoy their time. They take the risk even knowing that there is a risk in the bet. Another one of the reasons is that they continue gambling with the intention of getting big winnings from gambling. They feel that if they pull out of their efforts, they will fail to fulfill their dreams. As long as their gambling continues, they will be able to keep that dream alive.

That is right, But I think we should stop gambling at some point especially when the amount of loss increases as well as when gambling starts to transform from habit to addiction. Because if this is the case, instead of having fun, it will make our life more miserable. I am not going to disagree with you that not all kinds of gamblers are doing gambling for only fun but it is also true that there is a large number of gamblers who can't control their self do gambling for the greed as well as when if they are addicted then they have this cause for the go ahead with gambling even still have loss.

It's simply another form of addiction. For some people.  In the case of your friends it seems like that.  For other people like me I use it as a form of entertainment and honestly if I lost all the time but enjoyed the gambling aspect of it than I'm not too worried.  Not that I don't want to win but I don't bet enough for it to become addictive one way or another.

Yes, its always been the main common problem with gambling on which it is really that something that could entertain you but also it is a thing that could make you addicted on which if you are someone whose really that not good when it comes to handling out your emotions or something that do talks about handling or making such good decisions on various conditions then you would most likely be getting addicted with gambling and this is something that you should really be that careful because we know that once addiction would really be something that trapped into someone then it would really be that so damn hard to get out. This would really be causing up that kind of behavior on which you would really be continuing on playing no matter what until you would be busting up yourself to the floor.

Why people do continue? because they would be loving on making up some wins or would be simply trying out to recover on what they have lost on which this would really be that a common approach
by someone on which it isnt really that shocking anymore.

Your friend complaint is normal when it comes to gambling, it's not a place where you will win and then quit, even if you win somehow gambling has a way it drag you back, so your friend might not be suffering from anything actually but with a condition where he gambles with the amount he can afford to lose. If he gamble with less amount of money, there is no harm in trying again as you never know when you will win money to recoup your loses.

The only caution I will give your friend is to improve on his gambling skills, it's not palatable for a gambler to lose money continuesly, there most be a change in your result; if one doesn't work you have to give it another way and try it, gambling has hundreds of ways to utilize options to win gambling, one must work for you.

You're not yet addicted if you have lost for the first time and you still want to come back. There's nothing with that, IMHO. But if you're keep on coming back and you're harming your daily tasks, your family and other people. Then there's something wrong with you. It's a human nature that we keep coming back even if we lose, it's our natural instinct not to give up too early. However, if you're seeing that there's no return and value to what you do and you are getting the same results of frustrations, that's the time that you should move on because no one will be able to change that results but you. So, either you will still come back but in some other days or you'll never come back and do something different for you to find that satisfaction result. This is very common in gambling and even if we've been losing a lot of cash, we're all brave to keep on going until we realize that there's no sense to keep on losing but when you get there, it's hard to move on because of how much loss you already have.

He should take a break and he should talk to people about this issue, he believes he will win to recover all his losses, he might take so many risks just to win but gambling is a game of luck.

Yes, it is true that some people gamble just for fun, but this will be difficult for those who gamble out of greed and habit. They will continue to play bets as long as they still have funds that they can gamble and only realize after they have used up the funds they have. just regret it, this is really pointless because they won't be able to get back the money they bet.
Someone who has developed an addiction will of course put them in financial problems and it is important for every gambler to be able to control themselves in the gambling they play so that they do not experience bad effects on themselves.

Of course, those who gamble by prioritizing their greed will not make themselves lucky, because those who follow their greed will only lead them to greater losses which in the end will only make them feel regret. This also means that they are addicted to gambling and of course they will continue to bet even though they have experienced a losing streak, whether they have money or not is not their benchmark, even though they no longer have money, but because they are addicted to gambling they will still do everything to can return to gambling, such as by borrowing money or even taking big risky actions that could harm themselves or even other people.

The desire to be able to recover losses continues to incite them to gamble, even though they lose that is not the end of their gambling, they will come back by betting again and the predictable ending is losing money again and regretting that it continues like that so that it becomes an impulsive act. What you say is correct, it is important for gamblers to be able to control themselves so that they don't experience big losses, because big losses can be prevented by us controlling everything, including the gambling we do, if we have self-control that can be determined, maybe there won't be any losses. something big happens or an action that carries a big risk.

It's more better if he doesn't have to playing gambling, especially if he can't wins the gambling games. Instead gets lose more money in gambling, that will be the best decision if he can stops gambling immediately and allocates his money to other things that will helps him to improves his lives. His risks of losing the money will be bigger if he keeps playing gambling, even if he can wins small money, that doesn't mean he can wins much money because in gambling, someone can't wins easily. He must realizes about that and needs to stops his gambling activity immediately to prevents the other losses. Take a break can be a solution to him but he must knows that take a break for a while can makes him to back to the gambling games and that can makes him playing gambling aggressively without thinks to stops playing gambling.

However chasing losses will always be a bad idea when it comes to gambling, not least because casinos apply random algorithms to every game which makes the outcome at the end of the session always unknowable, on the other hand I'm not going to say that the idea won't work because of course anything can happen if they manage to get lucky, but what we have to remember is that it's very difficult to get that good luck to reach the recovery stage or to restore all the losses you've experienced.

And it's also a nonsensical idea to chase losses where you've lost money, and we should be able to think in this direction that it was gambling that made you lose money in the first place, and it doesn't make sense to chase losses in the same place, obviously. And as you said, in the end it will most likely only increase the amount of loss and this has been proven because there are enough cases like this where chasing losses creates a much worse situation.

Let's say that as a starting point where someone will be addicted to gambling in the end because people who have a gambling budget limit and limit their gambling habits will not bet more and continue playing, they will stop consistently because that way they can avoid gambling addiction, especially if the goal is to recover from losses so that you continue to play and bet more when you lose it will definitely not work in the end, I often meet people like that around me, my gambling friend, he always plays like that and hasn't changed that's why he is addicted to gambling now.

Everyone has their own goals but most of them gamble for money and want to win big so they are willing to bet even bigger because they want to win. I think there is something wrong with their mindset so it must be straightened out that gambling is not just about winning but you have to understand risk and must also accept defeat, every gambler who only considers gambling as a means to have fun will definitely not be serious when experiencing defeat, he will stop whenever he wants and will not continue to bet bigger just to try to recover from the loss.

Constant betting will not make you to win, if you think that you might get lucky one day, it might not happen or you will end up losing more money than you will be able to win. Do not depend on gambling that it is going to make you money one day, there are many people that thought in the same way but they do not have any success since they have been gambling. People continue to gamble in the hopes of winning one day, this is why they do not stop in spite of gambling not giving them good results. I would not want to keep losing money from gambling therefore if gambling was not favoriing me I would not continue to gamble. Gambling has a spirit that wants you to continue playing in spite of all the losses that you are getting from it. Gambling is not an evil sport but if you are abusing it, it will cause you harm.

Gambling is completely dependent on luck they don't believe in it they use their experience and skills to win gambling with confidence they go back to gambling after losing again and again. Gambling drives people who are addicted to gambling crazy. for this one should always try to keep oneself away from gambling and must keep a long break during gambling. otherwise, gambling addiction will drag you there again and again even if you lose again and again

Definitely he is in good position to know if it's best for him to continue or not. Because he is an adult who can not be manipulated easily. Sometimes advicing someone to continue gamble when he is loosing may look like a wrong advice, but it surely depends on how the Gambler sees the advice. Sometimes people continue gambling having hope of wining big someday, when there dream finally comes to reality, they becomes wise and when they lose continuously without win, they become fools who don't know what they are doing. For me gambling is a person game which a person has a final say to his decision.

It's a two way thing. Nothing is certain that if he continues playing that he would win that particular amount of money he is having in his mind to win. So is he willing to keep gambling with the hope that he is going to win someday. It's very simple, he should increase his staking power to stand a better chance of winning big money. If he decides to keeps accumulating plenty games together to get bigger odds so he can win big money with little money it might take him ages. But if he has money he should accumulate little odds like 10 to 15 odds and wager substantial amount of money on the odds, he stand a bigger chance of winning huge money. That's why the rich always have a better chance of winning big in gambling.

You just remind me about this particular guy, he is known for winning big and atleast one bets but got more than a month, he didn't win any games but when the time later won, he made more than all he lost for that month and played another similar option the following day twice and win two more extra bets and the profits were crazy, this is why you don't quit in gambling. Some days you will win and some days you will lost but if you are good in gambling, you will have your lucky day to win what will recover everything plus additional profits.

If your friend is complaining that he doesn't win, then he is probably new to gambling, people that actually good in gambling knows that it's just one of the ways you make money in gambling, it's not something you have power on but a good skill will earn you something one day and if you stake high, you will earn high even with a multiplier or with a multiple odd. But if he thinks he can't, he should quit and give it a rest.

That's right! The most mistake made today by beginners is that they think gambling is an easy money. No. Huge capital is needed if you want to make profits out of it. Deep pockets.
After I won the x5000 last month, there had been people asking me where I gamble. That's because my wife told her colleagues that I won a high multiplier.
But I didn't answer them what they are asking, instead I told them it is gambling and I just got lucky. It is a rare thing to happen and it would cost them a lot of money before they can hit it.
Thankfully, they are not the type of people that will keep on coming to ask for more details. I also told them it is not a gambling site that accpets our local currency but it does accept cryptocurrencies. That made them think about it because they know how much it would cost them in transaction fees before they could deposit.

It is really difficult to give advice to someone who has entered the addiction phase, no matter how often you give advice to them in the end they still won't listen to you, because as you said above that an addicted gambler does not believe that the results in gambling always depend on luck so as you said that they always try to use their experience and skills to produce victory, or it can also be said that they have excessive expectations along with excessive confidence that the method they have can produce a lot of wins, when it is clear that in fact the opposite is happening where they suffer a lot of losses, but that's the addicted gambler, always thinking positively that someday they will really be able to realize their hopes which in fact such a mindset and approach will only make them experience greater losses over time.

Well most people said it's a game of luck and risk but i think gambling it's a game of risk and grace, it is obvious that this grace has been mistaken for luck. However, for someone to stop gambling it required a lot of determination and self discipline though it is not easy to stop gambling especially when you have set a target to meet before stopping and you have not gotten to that target. Continous gambling will not make you to win any further provided your grace is not suffient to..., If you think what you are winning is not encouraging the best thing is just to stop gambling because i see gambling as something that is spiritual.

Chasing the lose is a normal thing that many gamblers still do because they thinks that they have the other chances to wins after lose for some money. They will not see that they don't have a big chance to wins in gambling instead just lose for more. They may gets wins but that doesn't mean they can recover all of their money that has been gone in gambling because their losses will still big than their wins. So if people can realizes about their lose and don't thinks about recover or chasing their lose, they will not do that instead just leave the casinos.

Hopefully, people will knows that if they still chase losses, they will only lose more money that they can't afford and will not have a big chance to gets their money back. They must realizes that if their money is gone in gambling, that means they must stops their gambling activity immediately. Otherwise, they will not have a chance to stops their gambling activity before all of their money is gone. Their losses will becomes bigger and have a chance to becomes addicted to gambling.

You are right, bro. Those gamblers that still continue gambling after losing so much do not realize that the gambling system is designed in such a way a way that it only favors the casino greatly while the gamblers are primarily the ones at loss. It's necessary for a gambler to only stake with the money they are ready to gamble off, so that once they lose all that money to the casino, they can just stop and go back home. If I want to gamble, I usually deposit the amount I want to gamble off, and if I have also won a good amount, I will just withdraw a specific amount from my winnings so that I don't end up losing it all too. 

Yes and they are gamblers who only know or only see gambling in terms of winning opportunities but do not understand as a whole that however losing will always be a part of gambling, therefore as you said there are still quite a lot of gamblers who take such actions in order to recover something that has been lost. This means that they only see gambling in terms of winning opportunities regardless of the situation, on the other hand yes I understand what you mean where they can win but it is very small to get a big win for all the losses they have experienced and that is true.

That's what they should pay more attention to, or that means they should know how the impact will occur when they try to restore something that has been lost and this is also the reason why a gambler must have a correct understanding of the whole of how gambling really is, don't just look at the chances of winning but also look at the risk consequences.

When they don't sees their chances to keeps playing gambling because they already lose much money in gambling, they must stops playing gambling immediately before lose all of the money. That's why when gamblers wants to playing gambling, they must sees and prepares their limits and not trying to break the limits because that can gives a problem to them. They will difficult to wins in the gambling games but they will easily to gets lose in gambling games. They must avoids the big loses and will not bet more, especially if they already lose streak before because that have a chance to loses more and more money.

However, playing gambling needs to be wise so they will not forces themselves to keeps playing gambling. Playing gambling is just to fills our spare time and not for playing gambling too long because we knows the risks and we don't have to gets lose much money. We already see what happens to other people who playing gambling excessively and many of them lose their money and even bankrupt.

Why only few think, that there are people who dont care much about money, but they like the process of gambling in general? There is nothing to be done if a person likes to risk, test his luck and he can not do nothing about it. And the money he looses in gambling is just payment for fun. Take any sport for example. For example any league in football. Dozens of teams, only one becomes a champion. And there are team that are always on the last places in final score table. People spend millions and millions on such teams, they will never win nor become champion, yet they continue to play. Or fishing. There are those who dont care about the catch. They like the process. They catch the fish and then set it free.

Yes, there are many who are like that and who think like that , they will Always be there, but Personally, just as there are people who are more clear because they like football, there are those who do not bet and live the process. and when their team wins they feel very happy, just because there are some who are very happy, just to show that their team is the best, they place bets, that is something that is always seen, I was like that before , now There is that thing About casinos , about sports betting , well, if you see that you can win, then you can't say no to money, well at least I can't , but it's from that point of view.

Coming back for the first time isn't a problem, you are right, but if someone loses, comes back, loses again, and still comes back, then they are either getting addicted to gambling or are taking it to their ego and thinking that they will recover whatever they have lost so far and they won't stop before they achieve that. Such things often make gamblers lose more money in the long run or sometimes even in the short run.

There is one more thing which is even more dangerous than this, and that is when a person gets into gambling and manage to win something in their first gambling session. This makes their mind locked on gambling and they will keep thinking and telling themselves that they can make money from gambling, and this will make them come back with the hope of winning more money again.

I sincerely agree with you that greediness can actually make some gamblers to loss more than expected one thing we need to know in life is that appreciation is the application for for more, let him value the little that he is winning first, and give himself time then huge amount will come. there is virtually no harm in trying everytime but one thing is certain because the more you give your self chance to try the more you are exposed to either winning or losing, and it is very unfortunate when you are losing because you will keep on trying to recover your lost amount then you will end up becoming an addict. just like you cited in your paragragh, there is no better strategy in gambling, gamblings is all about luck and when you are lucky to win any amount, kindly consider it as good opportunity to restrain from gambling for your own good.

It's true that those who carry out impulsive actions like that will of course only make them addicted to gambling, when they gamble and end up losing then gambling again a second time and losing again, of course it will only make them lose more money. Also, I think that those who gamble like that are people who can't accept the losses that occur or they really think that gambling can make money so that they can get money with only a small amount of capital. but thinking like that only puts them in a point that is not profitable at all and I am sure that when they win it will not be worth the many losses that have occurred.

By being able to win, of course it can make them think that they can really make money from gambling so that winning can make them believe in the wins that they can continue to get with subsequent gambling, but of course it won't be as smooth as that. because gamblers only have the opportunity to lose in the long term.

But it's a choice. If there are gamblers who play excessively, it is their will not to control themselves, leting gambling influence them negatively. Because if you're wise to think on what should be the right thing to do, then you will refrain yourself even it is tempting.

Those who gamble to have fun are aware of the negative consequences if they go beyond their limit. Gambling is not entirely a bad habit since it has positive and negative effect depending on the player. Because the gambler itself will determine how he wants gambling affect him and it depends on his mindset and main desire on why he wants to gamble.

Compared to this process, gambling is much more fun, in my opinion. While it may be exactly like that sometimes, the other times it can be different. If you are having fun with spinning slots, bettinf 10 cents at a tim,e and win $100 by chance, you won't set that fish free, right? I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like there's definitely more to gambling than recreational fishing.

Riders of the highs and lows aren't only after dollars. They are caught in a tricky dance with chance and possibility. They want a high-stakes strategic game against the unknown. Dream of making a few cash into a fortune? Not a foolish fantasy. It reflects our fundamental need to overcome the unknowable. This isn't limited to casinos. Hell, businesses, relationships, careers; life's gambles, right?

Demonizing gambling is now the default. Could it teach real-world skills? To calculate statistical outcomes and understand risk? The house usually wins long-term. Just math. Gamble with a cool head and the correct mindset to learn probability and decision-making under duress. It's not about fearing risk. Controlled exposure, impulse management, and critical odds analysis are key

It is not that easy, brain scans have been performed to addicted gamblers and their brains are very different than what you can see in a regular person, basically the part of their brains that should allow them to stop is broken, think of this as driving a car without brakes, it will be incredibly dangerous and it will be impossible to stop at will when you truly need it, this is what the addicted gambler has to deal with, so even if they want to stop they cannot really do it.

There will be wins and losses in gambling, but those who walk away with a few losses will never achieve their goals. However, gambling is advised to be considered only as a center of entertainment. There are many who have won a large amount from gambling or maybe get a jackpot but if he quit from gambling before he got that reward he would not have been able to get that reward. If your friend is not addicted to gambling then the advice given to him is correct but if he is addicted then you should tell him about his addiction. He will try to reduce his addiction by having an idea in advance about what situation his gambling life may lead to because of addiction.

For some people who are addicted to gambling, of course it will be very difficult for them to stop even though they have experienced several losses on the bets they have played, as long as they still have money to bet, of course they will continue to gamble in the hope of winning from each bet. that they play and it is difficult for them to stop and the only thing that can stop them is when they no longer have funds that they can use to bet.

I think one of the reasons is they find some companies right there and keep going there to be with them even if their money is only a few just to keep accompanying those people that they vibe with. But eventually, some of them even go there without any reason but to play because they already got addicted to it which is kinda hard to believe but their consistent playing without contemplating their future budget, it will surely drive them to addiction which makes them go there without even particular reasons and that's why you find some people there without even any money with them.

Well, even with constant betting, you still might not be able to win the amount you have set your mind on, because there are no guarantees of any kind when it comes to winnings and loses in gambling, so, this is one important reason why we must strive to be happy with our gambling activities and outcomes.
Gambling should be a fun venture rather than a money making venture, and this simply means that, we should strive to enjoy the game more than we strive to enjoy making money from it.

We should continually know that, if it was easy to make good money from gambling, alot of us would be super rich, while a lot of casinos will rekted, but unfortunate, gambling is not designed to be a money making venture, but rather, a having fun venture, where the ability to make money off gambling relies mostly on how lucky we are, and we should always consider this to be an added bonus.

I don't know about you but I think this is practically the wrong view or perception to Gambling because if a gambler continues to have such mentality that he or she is going to win despite the loses he keeps getting then that person is just trying to make things alot worse for himself because that circle could just go on and on till all his bankroll runs dry so I think that's definitely not a good advice at all. If a gambler experience loses then the best thing he should probably do is to actually stop with that session and relax and try to continue maybe some other time rather than keep on staking without the certainty of whether he is going to win or not.

It could, but it's never guaranteed that the process will go and on. That's what gamblers are hoping for when they continue betting even after many losses in a row. I'm not saying they should necessarily win after losing a lot of their bets, but they are not destined to further losses either. So, if your entire balance is what you can afford to lose, why not try your luck one more time? Or, several more times, if your bets are small. That's what I'm doing often, and sometimes I only lose more, but other times I win and I'm happy that I didn't stop earlier. :)

I agree, even if is true that most of the time those that put the most effort into their hobbies are the ones that obtain the most benefits out of them, and they may even make money with something that was just a hobby, this does not really apply to gambling, and this is because in most of the games offered by the casinos, it does not matter how hard you may try, you have no chance to improve your results as your luck controls everything, and in that case, it is better to simply give up for those that have lost a lot of money already.

So your friend really treat gambling as a source of income not just a simple game of fun for him maybe you should tell him he is in the wrong platform instead give him idea about trading as it is similar to gambling the only thing is that he plays the chart and the market because with gambling I don't think he will make good amount of money without spending much on losses. Gambling is based on luvk trading is based on someones skills or knowledge so yeah give it a try.

Exactly, and what you said is one of the reasons why gambling is called an activity full of uncertainties and without any guarantee to ensure victory, one can never know what will happen at the end of the session. Winning is nothing more than a chance that the majority of gamblers hope for, but when they overreact to it then there is definitely a possibility that they will create a delusion in their mind that can indirectly increase the belief that the win they always hope for will actually be obtained.

That is the scenario that occurs in the brain of a gambler who is ultimately addicted, because after all, from a common sense and rational point of view, putting excessive hopes on something that runs with uncertainty is a mindset that can never be justified, there is no way to bring victory other than luck coming at the right time, while it is a fact that luck is something that can never be controlled.

I had the same thought. No matter how hard we try we will never win against the casino because their system will never let us win and their basic odds are against the player winning. So for gamblers who have thoughts that they can make money from gambling, they will tend to continue betting even after they suffer a big loss because what is in their heads, is the opportunity to recover their loss but, what will actually happen is a way for them to get worse.

I think it's just people who have thoughts that gambling is just a hobby to have fun with what they can afford to lose, are those who can stop betting when the loss comes.

The chances are very low that we can beat the casino system that is programmed in the backend, we prefer to gamble against gamblers rather than beat systems like slot gambling and other games, p4p gambling games are fairer in decision making to determine the winner and we also like sports betting because of the winning results not determined by the gambling system.

However, there are some gamblers who claim to have won the jackpot from slot gambling but in fact they experienced losses that were much greater than the amount they won in that gambling session.

Winning from gamble is a matter of luck and chance, so if hue friend is thinking that gamble is a gamble for income or investment, then he's making a hug mistake because gamble is not. When we bet we pray to win and if we don't we let go because we understand that fact that gamble is not a platform that brings income on a daily basis. The moments we understand that, also the more gamble addition reduces.

Having fun through gambling is irresistible, some gamblers can manage to cope with this while some cant not hold on to it than having all it takes to make fun while they gamble and do it continuously, which is part of the reason why some gamblers take longer time on gambling because they are having fun and also enjoying the vibes it gives, they won't mind loosing as long as they have the more resource to keep on gambling with, because fun could be elongated as the condition attached with it may be.

before you go into gambling you should know the rules and guidelines of it, first know that gambling it's about risk and luck those set of people who lose and still go ahead and gamble, are focusing for the winning aspect because they have lose more in gambling and in gambling if you decide to quit all your losses will surely go in vain. And you'll be the one to take the blame to yourself by the end of the day when you notice that all your efforts are gone just like that, gamblers knows that losing in gambling is a penalty set for gambling no matter what the casino gambling most surely gain from the individuals. Just earlier yesterday saw a guy that owned a bet shop holding a gambler for not paying up his money to the extent he has to size the gamblers car key. But gambling was trying to recover his losses by playing more ahead and bet more for him to get back his money. So don't blame those who still gambles while he loses because he have a target.

House do always win and this is something that you should put up into your mind so that you wont really be that ending up on being that desperate. On the moment that you would really be that forceful on things specially on gambling then you would really be that definitely putting up yourself on such trouble as you would really be betting even more and this is something that should really be stopped.
This is why it would really be best that once you do gamble then dont tend to beat up the house since there's no way on beating them on the first place. They would be always the advantage and come to think that when it comes to odds or chances then gamblers would really be always losers at the end, not unless if you are extremely lucky then you  might be able to hit up some significant win.

To be able to consider gambling as a place to have fun is certainly not something that every gambler can do, because for those who have experienced an addiction to gambling, of course they will find it difficult to consider gambling as a place to have fun because every time they place a bet on the gambling they do will hope to get a big win so it is difficult for them to be able to play casually and enjoy every game they play of course this will make them emotional when they gamble which will make them gamble greedily and if they experience defeat on their bets and still have funds that they can bet, of course they will return to gambling and I often see gamblers who return to betting after their losses will again experience the same failure as before.

That's the problem, many of them think that their loss will stop eventually and that's why they keep doing what they are doing. The gamblers fallacy is that if you lose many times in a row, eventually you are bound to win. That's the problem with martingale as well, if you do well and then make a good amount of money, I would say that it is not going to be all that bad, but if you end up gambling for a long time and lose many in a row, then you could lose some more, there is no guarantee that you will eventually win.

Of course you will technically win eventually, but that doesn't mean that it will be before your bankroll ends, maybe you will win on 100th but your 81th was the last money you had, so you would end up with an issue.

There are people like that who have gambled for weeks and months and have not won anything my advice for those people is for them to get a better understanding or quit looks like gambling is not for them because of people. the reason why he can stop is because if you look at the reason he wins less money so he his looking for ways to see if he can balance the whole thing. The problem is people will will never learn and time used would have been better used to understand how to gamble better not gambling and losing or even winning little money. And if you control your emotion early and when you lose you don’t even bother much then you know what to do when ever you want to gamble. Everyone have their definition to gambling addiction because their people that gamble everyday and make money out of it.  And their people that gamble everyday and win nothing so now with this illustration you can say who the addiction is favoring so that is how gambling works it depends on how the gambler gives meaning to he or her gambling.

At first the mindset your friend is having towards gambling is wrong , he's thinking that gambling is place where he can get rich quick which Is a bad mindset and he continue gambling won't assure him a big win actually, but he can endup being a gambling addict if he continues In such manner. He should have some principles towards gambling and reduce the urge of gambling frequently. Because he doing so not only increasing the chancing of him hitting the jackpot but the chances of him losing all his or alot of his cash in gambling.

Unfortunately, only a few gamblers know how it works and follow while the majority have fallen into their greed and addiction.
That is why casinos are growing because the system works effectively which favors their business. However, this won't mean that gambling is bad because it still depends on the gambler's behavior. In fact, there is a warning given to all gamblers "Gamble responsibly" but what really happens is that more gamblers become irresponsible. This happens because they can't control themselves and instead of making gambling as a sort of entertainment, they now consider it as other sources of income.

It is unlikely to get a big win even if you bet continuously. Maybe you think that the more active you are in playing gambling games, one day you will be able to win large amounts, but in fact you need to know that if you continue to hope for big wins in gambling then you must also be prepared to lose everything and suffer losses. because of the many gamblers we see, only a few people are lucky to get a big win, meaning not everyone can get it.

Some people only want to gain money and even though they are losing a lot of money, they are still eager to bet and that's what we call revenge gambling which will cause more losses. And, I think that gaining a win and hitting the target within the day needs to stop betting to avoid losing it, and having a plan is a must.

Newbies who start gambling become totally addicted to gambling because of their get rich quick addiction. I have some close people who are completely addicted to gambling and lose all their money.  Once he begins, his destruction is inevitable and he himself will not know when his destruction will begin. Gambling is good for entertainment but some people want to get rich quick and lose everything and end up destitute.

If a person loses all their money gambling, they clearly don't realize what they are doing. And it is not only about gambling addiction, but rather about irresponsibility. Most likely such a person needs to pay attention to self-education in the field of finance and reconsider their views on high-risk entertainment. I have also lost a lot of money in gambling, but never lost all that I had as any even a little responsible person should realize that you need to have a financial cushion in case of unforeseen circumstances. Spending that money can lead to unfortunate consequences.

Basically people who gamble for weeks and months without winning anything should not be a talking point, because they are beyond saving. I am not saying losing just a bit, we all lose just a bit, house always wins so we all lose, but I mean like losing a big portion of their salary, a big portion of their income.

I personally believe that if you ever spend more than 20% of your monthly income into gambling then you have a problem and you need to stop. I know that people can't stop all of a sudden all by themselves, but the best thing is that we are going to end up with something that will take a bit of time, and we should probably realize that they need therapy to get better, which will not be all that hard to get in this age, even online zoom therapy sessions exists.

Most people will ignore what other people say because they haven't had a bad experience with it, but if they have experienced repeated failures even though they have tried many times, that's where they will be based on the fact that the advice given by other people is the right one. For now, just let your friend continue gambling, all you can do is give him endless advice and direction, after all he is your friend.

That's true, most gamblers who have lost a lot of money because of gambling can be said to not realize that the actions they are taking are too excessive so they continue to bet and continue like that because of the desire to win which drives them to continue gambling even though the results are The gambling he did always ended in disappointing defeat. Exactly what you said, with those who carry out these actions unconsciously, of course the actions they take are irresponsible actions, because they act beyond the limits of their abilities or reasonable limits. with gamblers like that I think they really can't pay attention to their finances, because they are lulled by the winnings they will get from gambling even though they have lost a lot of money, but because their minds have been washed by gambling they continue to gamble no matter how much money they have. lost in gambling.

If you calculate from the start when I started gambling, of course I would have lost a lot of money, it's just that here I can still control myself where when I lose I stop and when I win the same thing I do is stop by withdrawing the winnings that I have obtained, and come back. at gambling another day. but to be honest, I myself don't record income and expenses from the gambling activities that I do, because in my opinion there is no need to worry when we lose money in gambling because it is a normal thing, and even if we record our gambling finances then what is more often written is expenses, not income or profit.

Many people already had a bad experience but they don't stops their gambling activity even if they lose much money. They still thinks that they have a chance to wins some money but they don't thinks about how much money they already lose in gambling. They still attract about winning in gambling, especially if they see their friends can wins some money and that makes them keeps playing gambling without realizes that the chance to wins is different than their friends. Even if they try many times to wins, they will still difficult to wins even for some small money because gambling will not gives you the money easily. If we have friend like that, we can suggest him not to playing gambling too often and using much money to avoids the big lose because gambling is just for fun and not for make money.

I think even those who have been gambling for a long time still ignore what other people say about their losses and will continue to gamble as long as they still have the funds to gamble, because every gambler who gambles with emotion and greed of course they will never care about what other people say is that they will continue to bet even though they have experienced several defeats and they only realize that after they can't get the results they want, they then regret what they did.

Nope, gambling is not bad, but rather gambling is addictive; gambling has the ability to take more than it can offer a gambler; gambling is for entertainment and not a primary means to archive wealth; winning in gambling is not guaranteed; and lastly, casinos care about their profit and not the losses of gamblers. If every gambler follows these ideas, they will not lose a lot of money to the casino, not knowing they are enriching the casino. If a casino has 5,000 gamblers losing $10 every day, you can imagine how much they are accumulating in 30 days; meanwhile, it is always a higher amount that is lost by the gambler. 

There is nothing wrong with having fun in gambling, and as long as a person is under the realization that they are gambling for fun. They aren't supposed to get carried away and start trying to get profits, they should be good. Mostly when people gamble for fun, they have a specific budget for their gambling activities and they don't go beyond that limit, so as soon as they lose that amount, they get out of the casino without having a second thought.

The problem arises when a person spends a lot of time in a casino trying to make money because you can't do that, and when you keep trying to do something which can't be done, you tend to start having problems and the same happens in this case, the gambler will start to face problems eventually.

You're right, that inability to be able to achieve the objective is why many times people cannot guarantee their way of seeing things more clearly, we know that the casino offers us many options to do things right and win, but we must also consider that there will always be the house advantage and that the casino will always guarantee us profits and this is something that we can always be present to see, live and feel everything that these designs represent, I have always said that when the time comes to go to a casino we must keep a cool head and accept that we are fighting against the house advantage and against the complication of the game, if we know that, we are aware of what can happen and we must be emphatic that if we continue playing even with those conditions, it will always be that way, and I think that continuing to play is looking to have that luck that we have not had many times.

Absolutely, Perhaps if gamblers can be aware of what is called the house edge which is exactly what you're taking about the more people will begin to adjust the way they gamble. Most addicted gamblers do not agree that they are addicted, which is a big reason why they keep failing and never rise.

Additionally only a few gamblers amongst the multitudes of gamblers gambles for entertainment as it's initial goal but so many gamblers are here for the money which is enough reason to keep losing more money because you can not put you hope to succeed in life with gambling. And perhaps once anyone learns how this house hedges works then the issue of addiction will be so how adjusted.

That is the risk of the impact of gambling and the risk involved only depends on how each gambler is because not all gamblers as whole will be able to get bad things because some who are responsible and able to control themselves can minimize everything well.
Just like when gamblers experience big loss and they end up depositing money again and risking it all, it will clearly be big threat to bankruptcy if they do this, but some gamblers who don't do it can still be safe from bankruptcy.
They are only trying to get back some money that was previously lost, there is no responsibility in receiving the results of any bets they make and this is why gambling can be bad place for most irresponsible gamblers.
It just that basically this is business for those who own gambling sites or casinos, they make large amounts of money, but if we are wise and just having fun then losing some money will never feel so burdensome.
Moreover, building and developing gambling business requires lot of time and capital, so it is natural that if we take brief calculation, we can find that casino profits are indeed the biggest and are always at the top.
It is better to come with limits and remain wise about every decision make when gambling.

Unfortunately, many people start their gambler's journey with an insanely huge bet. For example, when my friend received an annual bonus, he went into a room with slot machines and lost all the money.
And when he came to himself, he went to borrow from all his friends, because his only goal was to win back this money. And of course he lost everything that was lent to him. This is the price of ill-considered money management.

This [risk and luck] is the most basic thing that a person who plays gambling will get.
If he has not won a large amount according to the bet, maybe it is not his time for luck to come to him if he plays in a game where the percentage of luck is greater than the percentage of skill such as slot games.
If he gambles with small bets but expects to win a large amount, it is impossible.

There is no advice that can be given in detail other than his habit of playing gambling by understanding that gambling is only losing and winning.

Sorry to say that you are just misleading your friend in this situation and will probably make him to lose more. On a norms, gambling is supposed to be an avenue for entertainment and fun but we have changed the narrative long ago, we now see it as avenue to make money forgetting its traditional role. In a situation like this of your friend, you should have just tell him the plain truth regardless of whether he may listen or not. Let him understand what gambling is all about and there's no guarantee of making profits in return. If he's so concerned about making profits then he should take a break if the profit is not satisfactory. Telling him to keep gambling constantly and might probably win big someday is the worst advice I have come across in gambling industry.


This is one secret about gambling but many people/gamblers are yet to figure it out especially those who are new to gambling industry. When you play game and lose, the best thing to do at that moment is to stay away from gambling and come back some other time with different mindset but if you stay back with the intention of playing more games just to recover your lost money, you will definitely lose more money. It's a proven fact that we have been seeing it happening regularly. The case of people succeeding in such scenario is very few.

Sad to know that no matter how enlighten people seem to be they still do not enlighten themselves on how to act responsibly towards gambling and this has lead a lot of people into sadness yet people do here this sad stories and never give ears to it.

It's insane for someone to take his or her hard earn money in to a slot machines trying to double them for any reason, when you have heard so much preach about gambling responsibly.  Truth is no that how we try to calm people down for them to gamble responsibly it only ends up that they go back to it. addiction is really a big deal if not taking care of as it will ruin ones life totally.

Those are the people who sees gambling as a good means of getting profit, whereas it isn't meant to be so. People are no longer interested in understanding gambling and it's risk management they just find it as a money doubling activity and this has led to serious problems including financial family crisis and also person crisis. Only our spare money is expected to be used in gambling but gamblers are not ready to observe those procedures instead they prefer risking huge part of their income in other to earn big profit.

Because that is what gambling is all about , trying to implant our mind about the winning probabilities but not the chances to win , making us believe that there are really ways to bet their site but eventually it will be taken away and they will be the one whos winning against us but we will keep trying our chances as we have already believe there is.
in gambling it is only the fun that we are surely to win and nothing more , if you win money then you are just lucky.

People do not like it when they do not win and they will always want to win therefore this make them to continue gambling until they have out of money to use in gambling. Some of them keep doing this until they get addicted to gambling, losing is painful and they do not want to feel that they have failed but when they get addicted, they would not know what they are doing. Gambling sites knows people will always want to beat their odd to win them therefore they set up their gambling sites in a way that people can not defeat it because if they keep defeating the system then it would not be challenging to them again. People love challenge that they will try to beat so they spend all their time trying to defeat that challenge and when they do, they feel accomplished.

Umm its wise to go with small staking on good team, thus you have many winning chances. So was happen with your friend, but little winning amount makes him unhappy! But if he thought, he'll keep gathering the amount and then someday he might have won big by staking big amount, that's wrong point of view. He may win big but remember, thus your friend will have possibility to lose everything at once what he have. Most of people do such mistakes and then regret for what have they done. And for gambling, need to have a monthly or weekly fix Budget what anyhow afford to lose. And after losing that amount, anyone shouldn't keep betting until the time come when he can have a new fix amount from his source of income

It’s just because they have the confidence that they are going to win if they don’t give up. Some of them do hear about other people's success stories, so it’s always encouraging them to gamble more, if they keep on gambling, they are going to win. Some of them will have already lost a significant amount of money, so they will be trying to win back the money they have lost, so they are always finding it very difficult to stop. The funniest part is that if some of them are able to win back their losses, they won’t stop gambling, they will continue gambling, thinking they will be able to win.

I don't do blame games with some newbies, they have this mentality of first game isn't enough to verify if their losses is enough, they will try again but the wise one will quit immediately if they have a consecutive loss back to back and quit or try another day but the daft ones will keep playing until nothing comes from and lose all the games and the money and that time, it will be too late to make corrections, this is when guilt and self discipline start to work.

If you want to see the crazy part, the addicted ones will come back in with big pockets and then try again until everything is loss. If you have experience where a celebrity gamble right in front of you in a casino house, they display this behavior often, spend some money in casino and loss, bring another money to the table and loss everything and then walk home with the remaining money with the homies for weed and food chuncks.

Yes, but they don't think that when they are on their way to pursuing victory, there will definitely be many losing situations that they will experience before finally achieving victory, which means that when they win, maybe it is the money they previously lost because of the defeat they suffered. returned by the casino, so actually their money just spins around unless the winning amount is very large. And yes, it is true that many gamblers feel motivated by the big wins achieved by other people, which makes them experience an increase in confidence and hope towards
victory and this encourages them to try again.

But yes, in the end, this belief will never be able to change the situation, simply put, gambling will always be random, which means only luck can bring them to victory, and yes, another thing that is clear is that when it turns out the results are not in accordance with what they expected, then usually It is difficult for them to accept this situation, which in the end makes them emotional and think about pursuing the losses they have experienced, which is the cycle experienced by gambling addicts, and as time goes by, the situation will get worse if the actions are not stopped immediately.

People who gamble and continue losing, but they do not give up on gambling all is because they have hope that one day they will win. No time will a gambler gamble without no hope of winning. So, anything you have hope for, you will hardly give up on it. If any gambler believes they have no probability of winning, they will surely not gamble. It is confidence that always makes gamblers continue gambling. In fact, sometimes, even if they want to give up, the hope that one day they will win keeps them going. They always think that if they stop gambling, they might miss an opportunity.

Its a game but the biggest risk taken by a gambler is they think they are owed a win.    I'd bet more after a loss often with the idea of winning back what I just loss, it is that idea of justice being deserved a win after a loss surely follows.

Its not a good line of logic, you arent owed anything exactly but I do think its common to bet until you win.  The idea might be you win and get back everything spent but that wont always be the case.  Also until you win, you havent won the game or played it entirely and people hate to walk away unfinished.

   It has to be said sometimes the smartest thing is to walk away, my reasoning is you should call the day done and return another time.  Not every day will be a winner but there is no perfect strategy imo, just recognize we are playing a game is best.

Every gambler has certainly experienced defeat and for those who never give up on the defeat they have experienced and continue to return to gambling in any case, of course they have experienced an addiction to gambling and they will continue to gamble in any case in the hope of winning from the bet.

The chance of winning a bet on gambling is very small, so it would be better for us not to bet again at that moment in the hope of getting a bigger win from that bet, of course it is very difficult for us to get it and if indeed we still force ourselves to bet at that time I am very sure that I will experience defeat because it is difficult to control myself when I have just experienced defeat.

I completely agree with you I also think people keep gambling because they hope to win. Even if they lose money many times they still believe they may win another day. And only this hope make it hard for them to stop gambling. It is not just about winning money  but also about thay they do not wanting to miss chance to win. This shows how powerful hope can be. And even when things look impossible hope can motivate anyone to keep trying and trying. Gambling can be dangerous and addictive if we will create a hope in our heart and it is clear that people will hold onto hope no matter how small and that is what keeps them gambling. For example it is like a man lost in a jungle and he is finding a way and in jungle he is looking at a light which is dim and bliming and he is trying to reach out that light but he can't access to thay light. Just like this a gambler do he also try to win and in this hope he lost much money and get addictive.

True, it could be that they are in the stage of chasing losses so they continue to gamble even though it turns out that their hopes have never been achieved, and this happens because from the beginning they are typical gamblers who cannot accept the fact of defeat which should be in that situation they take a break from gambling first and resume gambling when there is no longer a grudge against the previous defeat, but what happens as we see that they continue to continue gambling which I am sure that all the decisions and actions they take at that time are based on emotion and curiosity. And the other thing is that yes it is true as you said that if indeed the casino does not provide winning opportunities in every game then logically there will certainly not be many people gambling or maybe even no one is involved in gambling. This means that the chances of winning in gambling are a strong reason about why many people come to gamble.

That's a worse state of gambling addiction, when the gambler can not again realized that they are addicted even when being told. Although, addicted gamblers also fall in the advantage of making profit from their bets because they don't usually lose all their bets but they don't make good use of their winning but will rather spend it all on gambling. Take for example, if an addicted gambler is always gambling all the time and wins $1000, because of greed (and addiction) to multiply the money to $10, 000  he or she will continue gambling until they end up losing all the money. It continues like that for a life time unless the person later realises their self.

Yeah, I usually say that there's not gambler that doesn't enjoy the winning that comes from gambling but not all of them makes it a priority to win. Only a limited number of gambler have that desire to catch fun and leave without worrying over profit making.

Well said, the one's that does not make it a priority also Wana win but they accept the uncertainties involved in gambling which removes them from the expectations level as others, taking gambling as fun can also be addictive, and lead to undesired losses if not limited, and Moderated.

Gambling for profit making is never a bad thing for any gambler, the source of problems faced by gamblers is as a result of; Lack of plan, Huge expectations, High hopes, indiscipline, No rules and limits. If this is aligning with a good gambling habits anything is possible be it fit fun or profit making.

Sure, because the possibility of losing applies to everyone involved in the game, and I would also say that losing is something that will always be a part of gambling, meaning that not only can you win but you are also very likely to lose. And as you said that whatever situation the gamblers find themselves in even if they manage to win in the end, they will still continue their gambling session, especially if the session ends in a loss which of course they will try harder in any way even with various unreasonable actions which are all done in order to restore something that has been lost before.

True, casinos put a much smaller percentage of wins than losses, and that is the reason why most gamblers lose more often than they win. Basically there is nothing better than quitting in any situation, win or lose, because in gambling usually when someone manages to win then greed will haunt their mind and vice versa when they experience defeat then curiosity and inability to accept the situation will continue to encourage them to return to gambling.

Folks, I understand. The excitement of the chase and a huge win are seductive. When others win, you wonder, "Why not me?" However, the house always wins. Gambling is a game of chance, and luck mostly doesnt favor you. Occasionally, you may get lucky and win back some losses. But thats the casino's technique of keeping you coming back. In this vicious cycle, its easy to get caught up in the adrenaline rush and believe the next win is imminent.

Gambling should not be about luck or chasing losses. The goal should be amusement, not a lifestyle. So, if you're losing more than you're winning or the excitement is becoming an obsession, pull back. Asking for help isnt shameful. Dont focus on the destination; focus on the trip. Change course if your route is unsafe.

Counting on this is a very bad practice, and you can lose everything you have thinking that your losing streak must stop. I mustn't. But by chance it can. Again, don't count on it making more and more bets, but just know that your losing streak will not last forever.


That's a right way of thinking, in my opinion. They say, "I just need more money and I will be wining with martingale". No. You can lose all your balance before winning your bet, and then you will be saying "I just need two times more money". No, it's an illusion.

That's the beginning of gamblers experiencing addiction because they don't give up and continue gambling and hope that one day they can win if they continue playing but if they don't continue gambling they will think they have missed the opportunity to win. So they continue gambling with the ambition to win but that's what it is the beginning of their destruction and they will find it difficult to control themselves because of their belief that it is difficult to stop and continue to survive. Even though winning from gambling is when you can stop gambling when you have experienced defeat. If you continue you will only continue to be a loser.

Indeed, sometimes seeing the thoughts of gamblers like this is quite sad because they expect too much from gambling games to produce big profits for them. Which makes these gamblers seem addicted and find it difficult to control themselves when they lose and try to catch up on the losses they have used even though the cause of the gambler is addicted because they pursue their ambitions without realizing that these gamblers are doing it and are not aware that one day they will become addicted to gambling.

Right, meaning I would say that a successful recovery is not the end of the world, it's very hard to ignore the greed within when confidence is high, especially when you reach the recovery phase and as you said this is a casino technique to keep gamblers coming back for more in the hope of getting a bigger win. In a winning situation whether it's a casual win or a big enough win to recover all the losses you've had they will usually think that another win is just around the corner, so this can potentially lead to greed.

On the other hand, I would say that this scenario is true because I am also one of the gamblers who has experienced addiction in the past few years, and now I have managed to recover with my own method of distraction, which means that most likely I know enough about what the addicted gamblers feel and experience. And now I realize and understand that there is no better purpose in gambling than to use it as a place to pass the time when I am bored, and this is exactly what many people here often say and suggest.

Apart from that, there are gamblers who think that the more often they gamble, the closer they will be to winning, whether that's true or not, but in my opinion that's not a guarantee. I only think that it might be an encouragement for them themselves to continue gambling in order to get big wins so that they don't stop gambling when they have experienced defeat and have even experienced consecutive defeats which have made them lose quite a large amount of money. I think the ambition they have is good, it's just that they have misplaced their ambition, because the ambition they have can actually make them fall deeper into gambling and make it even more difficult for them to get out when they have fallen deeper into gambling. Apart from that, there have been many cases where gamblers who have fallen into gambling and become addicted to them cannot get out, even though they can, the chances are very small. It's true that you say that winning at gambling cannot be seen from money alone, but with actions taken wisely it is also a victory because when we can stop at certain moments it is one of our wins in terms of self-control.

Even though it looks sad for gamblers who have thoughts like that, it is a consequence of the actions they take, and I think before that they may already have an awareness of the risk of loss that will occur but they still put it aside because the winnings they have in mind dominate them more, so they still carry out actions that are dangerous and carry great risks.

If their salary is only to be used to playing gambling, they will lose all of their salary, especially if they don't have self control. They will not have a chance to save that salary for their daily needs because they will attract to playing gambling and try to wins the games. When they lose in gambling, that will not makes them realizes that gambling can makes them lose all of their money but they will still trying to keeps playing gambling to recovers their lose.

They don't realizes what they do is just waste their salary for playing gambling. While they have daily needs to fills but they don't thinks that is the important thing because their focus is just playing gambling. That's why those people needs to have self control and other things that can makes them understand that their salary is for fills their daily needs and not just to playing gambling.

Hope is the driving force that keeps people going in whatever they do and the same thing applies to gamblers. If you believe in whatever you do you will have so much hope of winning someday and if you give up there is no way you will be able to win that why gamblers keep on betting despite losing so much.

What i understand with gambling is that not all days will favor you am so gamblers understand that there are good and bad days so that’s why they keep believing that they will win something big someday and it’s why they keep on betting. In all they do they should never let gambling addiction get to them, they should always gamble responsibly.

That's how it should be done so that we won't get frustrated by the results in the future.
Expect to lose, that's mostly the case. Now, if you win big and it hits the roof where you are able to decide to withdraw, take it. Get out and have some fun using it.
I remember one guy who said to just take a long rest whenever you win big. Don't get greedy after a win because it always ends up as a bad ending where we lose more. Since then, I used that guy's motto to run whenever I win and it's all good. We don't need to chase more wins. A win is a win, enjoy it as much as possible and then come back if you feel like you want to play again.

Well to me I just feel like they are just trying to see what could come out again if they could be able to because there is no problem in trying they just want to try and play more game to see how the gambling can favor them sometimes they find themselves than even trying to win in that stage I could advise if I am to advise you you should quit for a while take a deep breath think very well yes it is already what you understand but you are losing so you just need a little understanding and strategies ask questions so you could be able to succeed in gambling that is how I feel you can learn is not something that you should just, without calculation amount of calculation to your experience.

Do you mean don't play on the same day? Losses and victories are emotional events, after which it would be worth recovering, because these are emotions in any case, even positive ones in case of victory, but betting on emotions is bad. In case of victory, it is easier to stop, when you win, you get a lot of positive things, and it is easier to stop for a while, and in case of loss, there is a desire to win back, and in this case, stopping is even more important.

The fact is that in gambling, of course, expectations have a fairly important role because of the impact that can also be quite significant when someone puts too much hope in winning, because however and until whenever the possibility of risk in gambling can never be avoided completely and will continue to lurk a gambler. In some cases it is often that various actions that are not recommended are always carried out because of the encouragement of emotions due to unfulfilled expectations or simply when the results at the end of the session turn out to be losing.

When it comes to winning, of course there is nothing better than drawing the limit as soon as possible when you manage to get a win of any amount or at least when the amount of your capital has multiplied and then go to enjoy the money for whatever you want, but yes so far this is still a difficult idea for some gamblers especially those who are addicted, because greed and dopamine needs are always increasing.

with gamblers who are at the point of frustration, I think they are those who are still gambling non-stop even though they have experienced a losing streak which has clearly made them lose a lot of money just by gambling. with the initial loss that occurs they cannot accept it makes them want to recover the losses that have occurred but with the reality that the house will always win so they just continue to experience losses, and the stronger their thoughts of wanting to recover the losses make it difficult for them to stop, even When the gambling they have done has succeeded in winning, it does not guarantee that they can stop gambling.

What you say is correct, when you win, the best thing to do is to withdraw or leave gambling to enjoy the victory that you have obtained, because considering how rare wins can be in gambling, we should be able to make very good use of it. Even though there are still many gamblers who cannot stop gambling when they lose, of course that cannot be used as motivation. So when they have lost a lot but they see other people or friends who can actually win, it is not recommended to use it as motivation because everyone's luck is different, so even though our friends have managed to win, just be aware that everyone's luck is not the same. .

I somehow disagree with you here because my personal experience is actually the opposite. When a gambler wins, there is this motivation to play more that sets in and if not watch, the gambler will lose the money won. Many people win gambling but not many people are able to cash out the winning. Remember that winning brings confidence and sometimes pride which makes the gambler become careless. Whereas losses bring fear and doubt which will make the gambler think again. So I believe that losses will make someone stop gambling rather than winning.

 I just made this post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5499707.msg64203826#msg64203826) to address this same issue and I will very much want you to give your opinion.
