On the long run, players are the ultimate losers, this is why I choose to be a humble gambler who risk very small money, people critize me because I choose to risk too very little money, they keep saying I won't win a lot, but I don't care, because the roller coaster never ends.

Heads up, to all of you gamblers running after a must win, the question is will you win and walk away from gambling forever? Because this is sadly but truthfully way to win gambling for real.

If you win today you haven't escape, because you will be back, correct me if I am wrong, those who choose to have fun with gambling knows why they choose this because they know deep down that they will always be here.

Win today, you will be back, and that's what makes casinos the winner.

Unless you hit the bigjackpot maybe with a single multibet or single spin in a roulette you're always a loser if you count also the time involved.
That's why playing small sums is enough funny and profitable...
Imagine, you have an hobby, that helps you to have fun for many many hours.
Are you in profit with the hobby? No, of course.
Why you're still continuing your hobby? Yes sure because it's funny and you are spending good time.
With gambling it should be the same. If you count all the time, expense and effort did you had, you can never see any returns. You are ALWAYS losing even if you win.
Likewise in my country the daily wager is around 50 euro. If you are earning daily this amount with gambling, but you're playing the whole day... well you're just pairing the two amounts and that's all.

Of course managing our losses is very important by using only little amount of money that you can afford to lose to gamble. Also if you have lost your bet, there's no need chasing your losses because you will still gamble tomorrow. So always be ready to let go of your losses, and hope tomorrow will be a good day for you. You can't win the house edge as a regular gambler.

Gambling is never a place of money doubling rather a place of having fun and easing stress over the time, maybe at the time of gambling gambler may decides to stake with very little amount and have winning, this doesn't generally mean that they focused on that winning. While those who uses gambling a money doubling source would always be desperate of winning, at this point you would see them becoming that restless because they are looking for all possibilities to win but deep down they keep losing that is why those who didn't have that focus of winning big amount always ends up winning. Winning comes when they are least expectant to it, that is why those who do that expecting winning hardly see it coming, so the best is gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose, or possibly 1-10 percent of weekly/monthly income.

If you always go back then theres always a chance of losing in the casino. Thats right, the casino is always the winner but there are exemption to that as some users who won pretty much profited huge one often stop. At least for some users who chooses to be contented on what they gains. Once you always wanted more thats the time youll be ending up loser and its a fact.

Don't listen to other people's criticism, the important thing is that we ourselves feel how we can only lose a little money to bet... even if this talk to me then I will not answer it because it is useless it is like nonsense, because I myself am a small bettor.

Winning a large amount, maybe I will leave gambling for a while and then come back... ;D I think it will be a little difficult to leave gambling for a long time.
Because it can still be controlled then everything for me is fine.

They have often played gambling for many years so it is difficult for them to escape, and will definitely have fun again in gambling.

Because casino games always make people addicted.

You only view it like that if you are using it as source of income. I don’t view most of my losses clearly because I’m gambling just for fun. I check only my profit that makes me happy while move on to all my losses.

This way you can enjoy gambling by being entertained on games they offer. You will never feel happiness on gambling if you will just gamble with only aim is to gain profit because it’s impossible to do that long term.

If money is your only goal, on do you gamble, Then you are considered a loser, as there is no way you can beat the house. Gamble with money that you are comfortable losing, whether it's a small or a large amount

It's hard to say not to do something forever, once a gambler, always a gambler. You only become a responsible gambler when you can turn away from gambling after getting rehabilitated, but that doesn't mean you forget how to gamble; you just move on to more important things, and gambling is not your priority anymore.

Gambling is a rollercoaster. Some people enjoy the rollercoaster, while others don't. You have to survive throughout the ups and downs.
I find it funny that people are criticizing you for playing with small money. I guess that they want you to spend ridiculous amounts and waste everything, so that they could laugh at your expense. That's why I never gave a damn about other people's opinions. The best thing is to keep your gambling activities a secret.
If I ever win big, I don't think that I would go away from gambling. I can't find a reason why should I do such thing. I would only go away from gambling if I ever become a gambling addict and lose everything.

Gambling is easier to quit when gambling for fun and less expectation to win. The moment the idea of gambling has changed from gambling for fun to a huge amount of money to be won, that's how the gambler will keep finding their way back to the casino now and then, even when they have won. Because they thought by risking it all in gambling to win big will ever stop them from gambling, which will not. The urge for continuation will still be there, it's hard to beat that when the mind is focus on winning big.

Maybe you are referring to a big win that could be in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and above. Except it is a lottery or jackpot win, I doubt if I would win such an amount considering how much I use for gambling. I don't have access to statistics that show the behavior of big winners, if they quit gambling or continue. But most of the stories I have seen online showed that they kept gambling. Some of them even went to the extent of gambling off all the won.

I am also a low-risk gambler. But if I ever win big, it wouldn't stop me from continuing gambling. But I would ensure that the money is used for something profitable and not spent on gambling. My gambling budget might not increase because there are so many things to do with money from big wins.

Either you choose to gamble with a light heart. Not so fixed at the outcome, happy whatever you lose or win. Or you’ll end up miserable
Chasing gains or even becoming addicted to it is common in this area.
Take care of your mind

We may be in the same position in placing gambling, I actually don't gamble that often and can even not do it for weeks. But that doesn't make me feel bored until I finally go back. I mean gambling is still the only place to play for me, as long as you know the limit, know when to get out and when to get in, then we won't get addicted. Gambling is just a stopover, not a permanent place to spend money.

It's a never ending cycle and just like you said if you win today that doesn't mean you have won because you will be back to it and that's where things can take a different turn. I always tell people that anything you win big from a casino game you should be scared of what might happen next especially if you are the type that stakes high amounts of money. It's possible to lose twice as much as what you won.

Everyone is different. Some people are ok with winning $10 and some will not be happy until they win $1,000,000. Those that are happy winning $10 are the types that if they were lucky enough to hit something decent, they might quit forever. Those that want the million dollars likely would just keep going trying to hit 100 million and busting.

You will be crazy how gambling works in a way it does not mostly favored players thats why most players quit at some point while others get addicted to gambling knowing the hard truth that gambling system is manipulated that no players can win everyday to his satisfaction.
The simplest way of tackling this is by betting with the intention and mindset that the outcome wont go as you wants and that no matter how long you keep playing, you going to stick by that statement for you to be fully free or stay in the trap properly as long as you want.

I understand why people see negative things about us (gamblers) as they don't understand our situation. What they heard negatively will simply be put in their mind and lead to wrong judgments. That is why I don't bother to listen to them because I know myself that I'm still doing right despite losses.

The casino always wins; that is the reality. But we don't need to wonder why because we are already aware of our position as a gambler. Our winning chance is quite low compared to losing. It means that we are going to lose more than we win. But that is not the case as long as we are not hurting our finances.

Definitely. Gambling is designed to be fun and for those who can afford to throw away some of their money. If someone has illusions that they can become rich overnight by playing for large sums, then their fate is to receive lessons from the universe regularly. If you make a list of those lucky ones who got rich on gambling, it will be negligible. Moreover, winnings happened to such people completely by chance, without any kind of strategy. Therefore, play with small sums, and indulge yourself with the dream that one day you will be lucky, but do not escape the reality of life.

This is just the reality ,and hey, I’m not hating it. It’s totally normal for gamblers to keep coming back.

If we didn’t, where’s the fun in that, right?

I’ve had my share of wins over the years, but I can’t lie... I’ve definitely taken a lot of L’s too. Pretty sure I’m down overall but honestly, that feeling when you hit a big win? Man, it’s priceless. You can't buy that kind of feeling, it’s like hitting a jackpot of happiness

You're not wrong. With this kind of mindset that you have towards gambling, if every gambler could have this mindset, they would also know that because of this, they should not take every situation in gambling so seriously, situations where they win and even the ones where they lose.

When some gamblers lose to gambling, they are sometimes overwhelmed into trying to chase back that loss. Realizing that gambling is something that you'll be able to do again and on that day you'll probably be better than that day helps you not to take any loss you make today too seriously.

You're doing the right thing, it's your money, and you're the one playing; it's your satisfaction and your happiness is the one that matter.

Some people become addicted because other gamblers trigger them to gamble with more money and spend more time betting, urging them that winners never quit and the next roll is your bet.

When it comes to gambling, you should be the one in command and who makes the decision, and it should be a good decision that will protect your finances and well-being.

exactly, having a budget and managing your expenses sometimes helps, compensating losses with another game never leads to a result, it only makes the situation worse, I personally have seen my dear friends do this and not know how to manage their emotions and lose more than they could, at that point it's over

What you mentioned is correct, op, and I have no objection to what I read here, in fact, that's what gamblers should really be used to in the reality form of gambling.
The problem is that the majority of gamblers don't seem to want to do it.

But if they could do this, there would probably be fewer addicted gamblers and fewer people who would do things like crime, suicide, and other bad things.
As long as the players are really experiencing winning, they will continue and they will continue.

Loosing money should not make a player a loser, because we are expected to be gambling with the understanding that we are having fun as we do so and thereby being entertained, if we win then its normal, and it the guess we made while playing doesn't come as we expect then it turns having a fun, what makes it looks as if some are losers is because of the way they have taken gambling and how they continue to handle it as if its a source of income they cant afford to miss.


They can say whatever thing they like because that is what they feels like saying, we cant force people as against their wish, but we must not be convinced by what others are saying to change into what will affect us later, because gambling is not to impress anyone but our own self.

In my case, as I only play for fun, I always place small amounts of money when I place my sports bets, this way when I lose, I am not at a loss.


I'm wondering the following: do these people who criticize you realize that gambling is not a source of constant earnings? I also doubt very much that these people who criticize you are constantly making high profits.


If one day I was lucky enough to win a lot of money from gambling, I certainly wouldn't give up gambling, I would continue playing as always with small amounts and invest the money I win in some real-world business.

I think this is the obvious though, but there are still gamblers who really wanted to continue to play despite this never ending storm as you describe. Even I have heard a lot of horror stories, like a cab driver who just drove someone in the casinos. And then he decided to play and win a lot of money.

But then in the next day, he comes back thinking that he can duplicate what he had done, unfortunately, he didn't and so he become addicted chasing that same experience of winning. However, there are also smart gamblers within here that maybe as some point, they learn their lessons, so they either stop and minimize their gambling activity or just play to have some fun.

It is very important to strictly adhere to financial limits, there are many gamblers who, despite setting financial limits, cannot adhere to them properly, they become uncontrollable at the slightest, especially when they lose all the money in their budget, setting a budget means setting an amount of money that you can afford to lose, and if you lose this amount of money, you have to stop immediately, which is called financial limits. It is very true and realistic that those who cannot adhere to their financial limits properly and easily exceed their financial limits and start gambling with more money than they can afford, they will surely face a major disaster. To gamble responsibly, you have to completely destroy your emotions, and if you lose all the money in the set budget, you have to stop gambling immediately, this is the principle of responsible gambling.

You are doing the right thing, I think we have the same gambling behavior, I mean I also don't bet much with big money because I know that defeat will be much closer than victory and that is the limit for me to lose money. Those who criticize you may only see gambling as a source of income, on the contrary our goal is pleasure so no matter how small the capital is issued, of course the pleasure will be the same as a gambler who spends large capital.

Most gamblers know that the house will always win given the presence of house edge. Despite knowing that fact, people still gamble because of the false hope that it provides. They do think that once they hit the jackpot, they would definitely quit gambling. The truth is- most people relapse and continue their gambling spree which tends to make their situations worse.


I definitely agree with the comments you shared.

This is exactly the reason why we should be proactive instead of being reactive in our hobbies. See our hobbies purely as forms of entertainment rather than a source of income (with a few exceptional scenarios). Once you change your perspective about gambling, then you could avoid losing and going beyond your budget.

This is the first time I read about someone that said people criticize him because he is using little amount of money to gamble. Are you sure that they are criticizing you?

Anyone that is gambling frequently will experience what you are saying. I have gambled frequently before but I lost more money than I win.

It doesn't matter if you bet a little, because maybe that's the amount you can afford. Those who bet in large amounts are not necessarily bad, because the abilities of each gambler are different.
Every gambler enjoys betting and playing in their own way. It doesn't matter if they are having fun or are looking for profit. The most important thing is that they know the risks of what is at stake and do not need to increase those risks, especially for long-term gamblers.
Gamblers will come back to gamble again, even if they win big or lose big. Some stop their activities temporarily, but in the end will come back to play.

Hope is what have lured many gamblers into the situation they are now and am talking about getting addicted through the hope they have to get that win. Although I know you are talking from a different angle but what I mean is that sometimes gambling try as much as possible to replicate a certain win that they have gotten in the past and this ends them in a very bad situation because that hope of you have done it and can still do it will vanish into thin air when you start.

You are just following an old wisdom in gambling that you should only play with money that you can afford to lose, and no one should question you on what amount you choose to play.
Those who tell you this are the real losers, and they just want you to be part of their company of losers with a big amount of money; just ignore these people and follow your principles, it will keep you safe, it's the right thing to do.

You don’t have to keep reminding us, LOL ...  we know the casino always wins.  ;D

But we’re still here gambling… why? Because we actually enjoy it. Sure, we lose money, but we don’t see it as wasting money as the fun, the thrill is what makes it worth it.
And you know what, even if the odds are against us, there's always that sweet bonus feeling when we hit a win. It’s like entertainment with a tiny chance of fireworks!

Absolutely correct and very well spoken bud, you are making good sense and I completely agree with everything that you have said, this unfortunately is what many gamblers fail to understand, most people believe that casinos can't be beaten but after I gave this a lot of thought, I decided that casinos can be beaten but only issue is that most gamblers are ready to beat the casino.

I created a thread on this board way back 2 or 3 years ago in this same matter where I explained how a casino can be beaten by a gambler, and In that, I said the one and only way was to win a big amount of money which automatically puts the gambler in a big profit, then leave casinos and gambling for ever, such gambler succeeded in beating the casino, but unfortunately, most gamblers can't do this because they are never satisfied, one win will instigate the hunger for more, so the keep playing even more than they played before that first win, and before they know it, that have lost even more than what they initially won, this is gambling.

The only true control we have is how much we’re willing to risk and being a tiny gambler is actually wise,  Most people who chase the big win usually give it all back anyway. winning once doesn’t mean you’ve won for good since if you keep going back, the house will eventually take it The only true win is understanding your limit and sticking to it

People who shame others for staking low would never cease to amaze me...first of all, everyone doesn't have equal pockets and you Can't expect everyone to approach gambling the same way...have a limit and make sure you don't exceed it, this doesn't make you a Stingy person it makes you a smart gambler...It doesn't matter how much you have won as long as you play constantly you are bound to lose an amount that's bigger than your wins, this thought alone should make you cautious

I agree with you, most of us didn't choose gambling for fun because that is the only thing we want from it, we chose it out of necessity. If you are gambling basically to make money you can push yourself to addiction because of the house edge, there's always high chances of losing than winning. Maybe you can hit the jackpot and quit for good but you don't know when that is going to happen and you can keep chasing loses and never win big. The best strategy to gambling is to use amount that you can afford to loose so you can enjoy and not put too much pressure on yourself to win.

10% involved in the world of 1% gambling that managed to stop completely, the rest they are like what train walking on the same rail, driving, disappearing from view and returning again.

What's more in today's life, many people are unemployment, the best solution gambling for them, losing is a recent business, looking for victory the main goal, let alone those who win again, who lose there is no difference The hope of winning for those who are often very strong, no wonder most of them are looking for alternative shortcuts to get money in order to bet, that is the world of gambling.

Gambling is indeed an invisible internet storm and that will not stop, unless this world goes out.

Real winners are to those:

• Secure winnings and buying up something worth with those winning amounts
• Can totally stop gambling on point if they wanted to
• Do have that good control when it comes to financial limits or money that being spend
• Totally have the fun on doing gambling and not aiming for making money with it

When it comes to gambling and that never ending storm you do say then this is actually true and do really happens and considering on how big this industry is,
then it do really shows that there are tons of gamblers who do failed up and busting up themselves on playing gambling and that what makes it profitable. The cycle continues and if you arent that
good when it comes to moderation and control then you do end up on having that huge problem later on.

Yeah.. roller coaster never ends just as you said. In gambling you must keep on pushing, don't allow peoples criticism to affect your fun in gambling. I also agreed with you that gamblers are losser but then when luck comes your way and you win big, you forget about the loses you had all the while. That's why it's important to gamble with the amount we can afford to lose, sothat when the loses are more often it wouldn't affect us that much. Despite the criticism we face from guys.

Wining and quiting forever depends on the gambler. Some guys may decide to quit after wining huge amount, while some will continue hoping for more opportunity.

There is a need to strategize our bankroll according to what we can afford. Losing is part of gambling in fact, it is unthinkable that you have more wins than the casino. Either winning or losing, you still return some other day to gamble, letting go of your losses is very important. Once you use up your bankroll for the day their is no need to extend it further, gamblers should know when to quit as its only two way lose or win and the casino always stands out as the favorites.

You're right gambling is one thing that drags us as a force so we should always set our boundaries in gambling because the tendency for individuals to continue gambling is high because gambling is addictive and so it always propels gambler's to find a way wether you win in gambling or not there should be set out boundaries that should be followed by all gambler's because i have not seen any individual that has some out victorious in gambling as even those who where lucky has lost even more when trying to gamble

I guess no matter where you are in the game of life, you will always have some going back to gambling to help you entertain yourself or something, and I think some people could control it to the point that it wouldn't be disastrous.

That's why there are risks, and in life, that's how it is. Gambling is like a gamification of risk, and probably that's why it's so popular and hard to let go. Hence, the never-ending storm, like you said, op.

Everyone knows that he will never win regularly from gambling. Yet the addiction to gambling always makes us expect something big. And at that time we forget that we should only use the amount of money in gambling that we have the ability to lose.

Depending on the financial condition of each person, they use different amounts in gambling. Again, even if they win, it depends on the amount of their bet. However, someone, despite being financially weak, panics after seeing the gambling winnings of a rich person and starts betting a large amount. And because of this, poor people are always seen losing everything in gambling.

Gamblers will decide to stop and leave gambling, or will continue to gamble for an indefinite period of time. Many gamblers eventually stop because they have lost quite a lot. But there are indeed more who continue to gamble even though they have lost a large amount.
Winning will not make gamblers stop, because when gamblers win, there is a greater hope of winning it again in the future. But that does not mean gamblers cannot get out of gambling. Anyone can get out and stop gambling, but the process may be different. I also don't know when I will stop gambling.

You are making the right approach. Don't listen to those who say you won't win anything big just because you are playing with a small amount of money. It's not their money that will be wasted and lost. It's yours. So, might as well just play the right amount where you could still enjoy the perks of gambling, which is entertainment.

I am the same as you. I bet small, it's actually the smallest or the minimum amount available in slots. $0.1. I never intend to go higher than that because it will be too expensive for me.

This is wrong. You don't have to generalize your personal loss to all gamblers globally. Just because you had a poor experience in a long run doesn't mean everyone does. There are many gamblers who are on profit in the long run, I am one of them. Right now i am still winning against the house.

I mostly gamble on sports games and real sports bettors will always use analytics and research to find long term profits pattern.

The funny thing is that these days we can gamble with almost any event and some of our gambling sites would even roll out their odds and rewards to encourage any greedy and even moderate gambler to stake.  Just some days ago, a new Pope was elected and guess what, people either made more money or lost some money because they were smart enough to want to make quick cash from gambling on the outcome of the selection process which of course led to the final selection.

Gambling is of course a never-ending storm and as such we see different forms of it and even newer platforms like online casinos emerge all the time, just to keep gamblers gambling more with interesting new games and this makes it harder to break free from the habit of gambling .

In my experience, The day of coming back on casino depends on the result of my game. I will come back after a day if I won my game while I will need to rest for a couple of days to weeks/months depending on the amount of my losses and the days of my losing streak.

It’s hard to avoid losing streak day so it’s important to set also date of coming back in addition to your bankroll management in able to cut the losing streak momentum because your mind will surely keep pushing you to play more just to chase lose.

Knowing this that gambling is never an ending storm, we should not also get ourselves into it anyhow, we have to first observe to know what is at stake, why we must play and how we can responsibly gamble without being affected or leaving other things to be done behind undone, it can be said of being a storm to some, because they are yet to discover what they wanted form it, while some have already seen gambling as a motivation to what make them have the desired peace needed as they gamble to have fun.

It depends mostly on which game you bet on. If we are referring to sports betting, getting $1 mil will either require a serious amount of money in a low-odds game or a lesser amount but in an insane-odds parlay. If you want to get this million through slots, then things are getting far worse. You can hit it in a day, a month, or most likely never. Especially in online casinos since they don't have chain slots jackpots. So better getting $10 every time, rather than chasing the incredible.

Don't mind those who criticize you.  It is your money, your time and your gameplay.  Do as you wish :).


I do not think I can walk away permanently from gambling afte winning big.  Sure I can stop my session to celebrate my huge win and that's it. I will definitely come back again to have some fun.


Why would someone escape to something that he has full control of?  I believe there is no problem in having a regular session in gambling as long as it does not affect their finances and health.  


Same here, I bet the minimum bet size since I came to spend my free time playing slots, so as much as possible, I wanted my small bankroll to last longer.

Choosing to be responsible gambler is a very good way to avoid falling into addiction and also not to go too extreme so if people criticize you that you gamble too little amount just ignore them because same people will still criticize and call you a fool when you gamble huge amounts and lose. Some time ago, i was gambling with huge amount and got some big wins in a physical casino shop and the gamblers there were applauding my bravery not until i lost all the money i won that was when i overhead some of them saying that i was a fool for gambling with higher amounts, i learnt something that very day. Gambling with very little amount and winning little gives you a sense of responsible gambling because you will never in any way be affected when you lose considering the little amount you gambled with and it even makes gambling more funful that way unlike someone who stakes huge and loses huge.

The thing to know is that losing in gambling is something that is certain to happen and there is no player and no way to avoid it even if you have a strategy it will not guarantee that you will be able to get a win for sure or be able to avoid losing for sure, it is impossible.

For wise gamblers they will not gamble excessively such as depositing money again after experiencing a loss at one time, it can be said that it is true that they will gamble again another day, and this is a way that I think is quite effective to avoid big losses that can occur when we deposit money again when we have experienced a loss.

They are criticizing you for betting small, but the same people will also fail to advise you when you are gambling too much. As long as they don't take care of your personal need, or don't even sponsor your gambling, then their advise is of no use. Like, why do people even gamble like it's their last day on earth. Just like you've said, there is always a tomorrow as far as gambling is concerned. The chances of winning are not always guaranteed, so gradual gambling is always advised.

I don't see myself gambling aggressively, especially when I know that the casino or betting company have a better chance of winning. And from the aspect of winning big, well, I don't really see myself leaving gambling. I might probably take a long break, but who knows, until it happens, you can never tell.

Losing is inevitable and this is something that you should be putting up into your mind so that you wouldnt be trying out to chase up if ever those loses will be happening along the way. The best thing to be done is on the time that you've become that trying out to seek for fun then dealing up with gambling isnt bad as long you do held yourself that responsible and dont have any issues when it comes to the loses that you are that getting into. Gambling problems do always that pertain into those wrong decisions made out by gamblers, because if they were that sensible into the actions that they are taking into then they wont be having any problems when it comes into this aspect. Gambling business is profitable into its owners because there are tons of people who do get fond with it on which this one isnt that bad either. It all matters on the demand and this is where these owners will be trying out to utilize those demands for them to be able to give out such options into the market on where gamblers do take up some engagement and having that possibilities on whether taking up a win or lose.

Instead on trying out to mind off about into the things on what gambling could give or on how it do last or on how it do behaves or this industry works. Why we cant just that focus out on having some fun with it instead? Just make it sure that you wont be ending up on getting addicted because this is where people usually be ending up with having this kind of situation just because they turned out to become greedy at the time that they've been that dealing up with it. The never ending thing always pertains about into those gamblers who had become that addicted on which it causes up for them to spend up tons of money and this what makes these businesses becomes alive and profitable. Actually its not that bad to gamble as long you do held yourself that responsible towards it and not that having kind of desperate approach on trying out to make yourself that becomes rich with it.

That’s a wise approach. Games are designed in a way to give more advantage to the casino over the players and that’s not against the common sense.

Some gamblers ignore this fact and try to be the winners in the long run and they burn themselves out. They are simply trying to beat the casino in the most stupid way, making hundreds of bets forgetting that the house edge is there to ensure their loss in the long term.

So what’s the healthier, wiser approach?

Easy. You make bets to have fun. As simple as that.

Your words are not unreasonable. In the case of gambling, some people think that if they do not take risks, they will not be able to win big, which is why they put money into gambling beyond their capacity, then their situation can be very bad. There are some who believe that if they can survive in gambling for a long time, there will be a possibility of their winning big at some point. This idea cannot be denied either. In most cases, a gambler who wants to take big risks, the disaster happens very quickly. Because after they place a bet, if they lose, they try to place a bet again. And those who take small risks, even if they lose, there is no possibility of big loss. In gambling, everyone tries again and again to win, which is why I think no one should take big risk in gambling.

It is not everyone that is in net loss in their gambling,  people gave won huge such that they can never experience poverty again. It is just unfortunate that people that are like that are very few, which is the reason a lot think that gambling is just a funnel for losing money and that someone cannot actually make it big through gambling.

For most people gambling will be a never ending storm, although it's up to the gamblers deciding how intense this storm is going to be. It can be just a light rain or it can be a hurricane, depending the taken approach towards betting. Moreover, we can't generalize gambling is going to be a storm for everyone, because there is always that small percentage of gamblers who hit the jackpot or manage to win on long term somehow. They correspond to a minor percentage of gamblers, but they do exist, anyway.

And most importantly. Gambling is the kind of storm you aren't forced going into. If you don't want to get wet, don't expose yourself to the rain and you will remain dry, safe and sound!

You are not wrong mate because what you said it actually the truth. However it's not easy to stop gamble after a big win, you might till continue to gamble because gamblers actually think that they can win more money if they continue to gamble. Non can escape gamble easily after a win because they will still gamble, I think I have said it before now that the actual winning moment is when you withdraw and use the money for something more important, no other winning than that. If you do not use the money you win from gamble for important things you will still lose it all some other time.

This is not news, because the longer you gamble, the higher the chances of losing. This is the essence of RTP (<95%).

What do they care about your strategy? If this strategy suits you and allows you to make a profit, even a small one, then don't listen to anyone.

It's better to win a little than to lose a lot.

I believe that 99.9% of gamblers will return to the casino after winning. Everyone will want to repeat the success and this is where the trap lies.

This is why gambling is considered an addiction. There are no former gamblers.

To break this vicious circle and "beat" the casino, you need to "press stop" once and for all, cutting off all ties with gambling. There is no other way out.

Gambling is not just about winning money. Many times we gamble as a way to enjoy some pleasure by risking our lives. There are many unexpected situations in life. Gambling is a lot like pressing some buttons and boom, I won.

Some people can control it, maybe I played a game or two, won or lost, and stay here. But not everyone can do this, everyone thinks that maybe I will play another game or maybe I will win again. Or I will make up for the previous loss.

I also adhere to being modest in the game and not making huge bets that are completely unsuitable for my wallet. Of course, the excitement and euphoria that excites our hearts in anticipation of a huge win make us violate money management, constantly win back in the hope that we will one day get our money back. Even those who are lucky and they return their lost amount, want to play again to win, but this greed only makes us think wrong. In general, if a player perceives the game as a place where you can lose, but get a little pleasure, then this player will not allow himself to lose too much, this is worth thinking about for players who do not know the end of the game.

The real addiction to gambling is not losing, but winning. Because those who lose feel pain and think about giving up. But those who win feel power... and come back. That's how the casino hooks you: not by defeat, but by hope.

Key points to note from this is this
+ Risk only small money that you can afford to lose
+ The way to win in gambling is to win and walk away from gambling.
+ Having fun is the only way to be a long term gambler without issues.
In my estimation have a reason for why you gamble and stick to it. Gambling never ends but you always have the choice to walk away.

It's better off to risk with little amount of money,this is why they say gamble with what you can afford to lose don't be discouraged cause you're been criticized of how you gamble.its your business not theirs and definitely they get it all wrong that small amount don't generate big wins,it sure does because i gamble with small amount and get a notable increase as win so therefore I know when to stop as well unlike others that are stucked and addicted.

Normally, a good gambler would always be a good gambler no matter how your friends might pressure you can never change your decision in gambling. Because gambling is a personal decision, you can decide to gamble with any amount you want nothing consigns anybody, as long as you cool with it. Because what actually makes you a good gambler is by only using the amount that you can afford to lose because is full of unpredictable. Using a small amount in gambling is always the best way to overcome frequent losses in gambling.

I don't think you can call your amount a little amount of money and that's because it's small relative to your financial status. There is another person somewhere that may see the amount you bet and think that the amount is too big to be risk and that's how it's to you when another person bet an amount you think it's huge. In the long run, if the person can comfortably bet that amount and lose it and don't feel like they are financial handicap, then they are good to go.

I know of a a particular guy that bet huge amount of money in his bets. He doesn't do that before but what happen? He is a very good analyst and knows his ways out on gambling, he was lucky with his usual bankroll, he made it to the top and he increased his wager and guess what, he never stop winning. The amount he do use to wager is very big in my eyes but small in his eyes because he always have his own way of winning one bet to make back all the money lost.

That's the circle and all gamblers fully know this but the thought that the next bet can bring good outcome always compels them to think that they can always get lucky the next time. Gambling companies are still in business because of this obvious reality that's known by all but the urge to win always blinds people.

A friend has been on a winning stretch for a while now and the way he does it, it makes it look too simple that you will think that you're going to be winning every time. In the long run, the circle will still get to him and the win will eventually come to an end but what will be left will be memories of wins which will keep him all glued to thinking that he can always continue winning like he used to.

Guy, don't mind such criticism, it's a trap to make you go against your decision and abandon your discipline. Since they are staking with huge amount than you do, have they become millionaire? I was offended by some friends because they joked about how they staked with huge amount than I do, so I had to express my feelings to them, I must not be like them that stake with high amount and still end up losing it. Every gambling have their strategy and it's no bodies business how much you stake, unless the person is the one funding you.

First of all, you haven't done anything wrong by practicing such safer abstinence... Infact, further fault-finding and condemnations by the said people should only serve as a more unique reason why you shouldn't even try to gamble with a huge fund.

if all they do is win and walk away, then we'll probably have a lesser number of gamblers, casinos and the house-edges wouldn't be relevant anyway. Plus the fact some people are just so insensible to realize that the more you look, the less you see.
You just spilled every casinos' secret weapon!

even if you bet only small amount you said it yourself we are the ultimate losers at the end still we should just have fun and gamble accordingly to what we can and do not hope to recreate some kind of miracle
winning does not stop a gambler it only fuels him even more to keep gambling because he now know what it feels to win

You know all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, since we derive joy in gambling to ease our stress, there is nothing wrong for for gambling for fun as long as you derive pleasure in it . Gambling with a Budget amount and not winning does not necessarily means that you have to stop gambling , we all know that is how gambling works.

People don't necessarily need to gamble to the point where gambling becomes a problem for them. I honestly can't relate to any of these things, and that’s why it gets me wondering what would make someone become so addicted to gambling that chasing money through it turns into a problem for them.

Are they just lazy and have refused to get a job?
Are they just unlucky with becoming successful responsibly, hence the need to chase after gambling money?
Or are they just being greedy?

Addiction and other gambling problems don’t start overnight. It starts when the individual begins to give too much attention to gambling, and eventually, they begin to battle some unknown storm.

Gambling moderately from the onset can prevent gambling troubles.

I wanted to but I just have found my new favorite game, it is crash and I keep waiting to hit that big of a multiplier, I keep waiting lost after lost bet in the event to hit at least some over x2000 with a decent bet, like 2-3 dollars that I am playing on a spin. Now that would be nice to hit but so far max I have hit has been 15.72x as I have been very nervous when the multiplier starts to add up and moving very fast. I know I should wait and call it a loss if it happens to crash before my target multiplier yet the rage and sadness you feel when for example the multiplier crashed at 75x and you wanted more while you get nothing, I have no words to describe them, it is the worse feeling in the world. So yes gambling is a never ending storm, the only things that keeps me playing is the bonuses and increases of VIP levels.

Well, in that case, you can tell them that in case of failure, your losses will also be small) I think that you are following the right strategy, allocating as much as you can afford to lose to gambling.

Yes, lose management is very important, the question is that how can you manage your loses, the thing is that we have to understand the situation of gambling before you put in big amounts of money in the gambling, so I believe that gambling with small amount of money make you to have a reservations, because when you frequently with big amounts and you don't have another thing that's brings the money often, to replace the one you have lost, then, it's when you will have a benefit from gambling, so I believe that in the gambling the only thing that will make us not to think too much in gambling is when we gamble with what we can afford to lose.

X60 of your initial stake won’t be enough for some people to leave gambling forever - only a few gamblers have been able to hit an amount that one would consider okay to quit but still get they were not able to do it; some spent wisely and still stayed but gambled with very little money while the others either lavished it and came back again or or decide to test their luck and gambled the money again at a different casino and ended up with nothing.

You are not gambling for the people; you are gambling for yourself. As long as the little you stake is what you can afford and you derive joy in placing bets, then that's very much okay, and you should not care about what other gamblers say.

Everyone has a motive for gambling, and their motive will determine how they will approach it. Most of them see gambling as somewhere they can use to make money, which is why they will always want to stake high.

Once you win, some bettors are also losing, so the casino is actually enjoying the profits as well. Otherwise, if casinos are consistently at loss, no one would last longer in the market since having a casino is a business, not just a free source of entertainment.

Now, the fact that you could win bigger after a single win, that's the reason why gamblers bet again chasing for their luck. While responsible gamblers do not chase their luck after a big win, and just leave the casino and call it a day.

As long as you are gambling with a budget, any strategy you employ in gambling within your gambling budget is very much obtainable. Some like it in split bets of little amounts, some like going big, but in all, do not gamble outside of your budget.

I don't think it is possible, most of us still found ourselves back to the casino and gambling again, even those who were addicts and left the casino for a considerable length of time mostly found themselves back to gambling, perhaps as responsible gamblers.


I agree with you, the fun never ends. Just gamble with the amounts you are prepared to loose.

The casino makes a person addicted, and when he leaves, he will tend to go back to the casino to play some games and earn some money. In my view, if a person is gambling and has an addiction or is just gambling, he needs to go with a lesser bet. The profits may be low, but the chances of winning are high, and the loss is minimal. So, if he has an addiction or anything, then he will not harm himself and will smoothly continue his gambling activities. However, people come to the casino, and the reason is that they need money, and the casino is the place where you can earn money through your cleverness and enjoy yourself. So that may be another reason they come to casinos.

The roller coaster ends whenever we want it to end, actually. It is up to us and whether we want to keep gambling or not.
For example, I have a friend from Chile who is not a regular gambler at all, he was invited by some friends to a casino, the biggest one in his city and he accepted to go there and gamble a bit for fun. He decided to play blackjack against the house and he ended up winning about fifty dollars before taking his chips and exit the casino with his friends, in the end, he never went back to the casino and pocketed fifty dollars.
I know and I am aware it is not the same case for all people who starts in gambling, but when one starts and luck in one's side, it is possible to walk away with positive balance in our hands and never to gamble again or perhaps in years, just like my friend did.
The house edge works in the long run and with many attempts we do, not in the short term.

Who criticizes a player just because they took a small gamble? If that were the case then I would be one of the people who would argue about this.

Gambling is free to be done by anyone and any amount of money is used as a bet because everyone is free to do whatever they want, it would be very funny when a player criticizes another player just because they gamble with a small bet because as if gambling is done must be with a lot of money.

We are free to do whatever we like in gambling regardless of the size of the money we bet, of course, things like this do not matter because we will not harm others if we lose because it is purely our own money and that may be the limit when we can afford to lose money in gambling.

I don't think it will always happen on the first attempt, sometimes you get nothing, or if you win right away, it could trigger your addiction.  Keep in mind that over many plays and a prolonged period, the reality of the house edge ensures that the casino almost always comes out ahead.  That's how they designed it, and they’re not exactly a charity. :D

IMO, the initial taste of winning can emotionally hook people and lead to addiction, even though statistically, the long-term odds are against them.  It may be that the brain releases dopamine, making the player feel excited and optimistic.  This kind of behavior encourages them to continue playing in hopes of repeating or even surpassing that win.

Risking as little amount that you can afford to lose is the right way to enjoy the market and also be contended with the games no matter the circumstances you find yourself in while involved in the process. Risking little money is the best because it also gives you the opportunity to come back another day to try again while trying your luck to hit the jackpot one day.


Gambling is addictive and there is no way you can run away from it forever especially those that have already addicted been addicted to it. Even those that play it for fun have some addictive traces that allows them to still come back again to try their luck out. Winning small everyday or winning big once in a while are both good ways to stay on top of the game in gambling and not risking to lose all one day.

Casinos win cuz they set up the game. Everyone knows the game makers got all the cards!!! You know this post got me thinking about how many people are actually able to quit gambling and quit for good. And then it also got me wondering how many new gamblers on average are there per year? That's a tough one to track.....

There is always another question here: if you claim that eventually everyone loses and you will lose too, then why play at all? Yes, reducing your bankroll and reducing your stakes will allow you to lose less money and ultimately lose money more slowly. But I can only repeat my question: Is your goal to lose money, even slowly, even a small amount? Isn't it absurd to want to play games that you know you will lose? A separate question is how much pleasure you can get from losing. If you lose, even if it's small amounts, what do you enjoy? It's always been a mystery to me.

It depends on the person who won, let it be a relatively large jackpot. If I had won such a jackpot, I would have stopped playing and would not have returned. The problem is that I've never won much, primarily because I didn't place big bets, and of course, because luck wasn't on my side. By the way, I believe that there are many people like me, as well as no less than other people who, on the contrary, are so addicted to gambling that even a large win will not help them overcome their gambling addiction. Of course, all these are just words, not real facts. This will only become a fact when I win big. :)

When I play slots, I always really get the feeling that I'm on a roller coaster: my deposit adds 20 percent, after which after a few minutes it becomes 20 percent less than the original value. It's breathtaking, but the main thing to remember is that it's better to exit at the peak - when the deposit has increased from winnings.
 I always regret when I decide that I need to spin the slots a little more to make plus thirty percent to the deposit, leading to the end of leaving the game with a deposit value less than it was at the beginning. Disappointed in my greed.

I would like to return the question, does those who paid for a party does not enjoy it?  Are those who pays the ticket to watch a movie regrets because they paid for it?  Things in this world is not free.  We have to spend something in order to experience or gain them.  Just like how people are paying for travels when they wanted to have some vacation in some area or outside the country.  So are you saying that these people who are spending their money are absurd since they lost money anyway?  Is it absurd to pay for our meals?

It is not a mystery but the interest of the person involved.  If they take fun in gambling then that is the reason why it is ok for them to lose money when engaging in gambling.  This is the same for people who are so eager to pay for plane tickets, accommodation, and food service when they want to have a vacation in another place or country.

That is why you need to manage your time and money in gambling. You must know when stop gambling so you can still have money. But many gamblers may not realize and keep gambling although they lost so much before.

If you chasing the win, you may not win much because casino will not let you win easily. So why you risk big money and keep gambling if you don't have any guarantee to win? it is better we understand that gambling give us the fun that we want so we must quit gambling after we get it.

We can win someday so it is better not chase the win. We can let the win come to us so we don't gambling aggressively.

I also think that every gambler should ask themselves the question, why continue playing when you know that on the long run you will lose more than your wins. It can be a mystery as you said why we know this fact and continues to gamble, I think that most gamblers likes to take risks with their money, you get a thrill trying to beat the casinos and get a reward for it but the irony is that it doesn't happen everytime. I initially thought that I could get rich through gambling but when I understood that it takes exceptional luck to achieve that goal I had to change my strategy to gambling for fun with amount that I can afford to loose.

It seems to me that something else is meant here. When a person pays for something (spends money), he expects to receive something specific. A person wants to get excited from gambling, the expectation of winning, because this is the essence of gambling. But if a person starts playing with an initially negative mood ("I'm going to lose anyway"), then what does he want to get? If he has no expectation of winning, then what is the pleasure of gambling? Is it really interesting to watch the process as the slots spin? Initially, a negative attitude as a principle is absurd for a gambler. Therefore, the question arises, then why play at all?
I always hope that I'll be lucky, and that's the only thing that motivates me to bet. I think most people are the same.

Yeah, most people came back to gamble regardless they win or lose, but the most important thing knowing how much your budget for gambling.

We need to accept most people can't find the fun or happiness in gambling.

If you explain the fun in gambling, they will say it's wasting time and money, you get nothing because the game is always same and you didn't get something new. It's different with party, vacation, watching movie, etc, because you will invite different people, you will experience different places, you watch different movies.

That's what they said.

If a bet allows me to win big like a jackpot in the lottery, will I be back to gambling? Probably still but it won't be the same as before. I'll allocate some money on it just to have fun and to go back to the traces on why I've got a good living because of the prize jackpot that I've won.

I'll make sure that it won't be the same anymore as before because I've read a lot of stories that have won a lot of money and yet, they're back to their former living because they didn't manage their money well.

It's about how we'll manage to discipline ourselves and if we're winners, we'll have to be careful on how it will secure our profits and so even if we keep on coming back. We've already secured what we own.

As one member mentioned, gambling is similar to other hobbies such as travelling or buying books; we spend money and fuel without expecting material profit. The difference is that gambling carries the risk of addiction that can destroy the financial and emotional balance. So, if we treat it as a hobby, let's use the same logic,we allocate a predetermined amount, and enjoy the moment without dreams of getting rich quickly. Real entertainment lies in control, not in the game, but in ourselves.

The caveat in gambling, just like in trading too, is to stake what one can afford to lose. It doesn't matter whether it's small amount or not. For me, I don't think those who even stake little amount are better off than those who stake large funds. Just make sure what you're staking isn't something that gives you nightmare. If it does, it simply means you're over staking your funds. What I frown at in gambling isn't the amount that's staked but addiction. Amount staked is relative to gamblers. Every gambler should define their risk appetite by themselves.

Those who stake little amount always regret it when they hit wins. If one must eat a frog, why not eat the rotund ones? That's my philosophy.

I have long ago started to bet a little because I understand why I do it, first of all I come to have fun and get a little excitement when watching a match with my favorite team. I have been betting for a long time and I understand perfectly how they work. I am not going to win all the money in the world in gambling or change my life, I have very simple reasons for betting. If I win a little, then I am happy, but if I lose, then I will never be upset about it because the amount is not too big to affect my life or my family. Of course, there are players who want to bet more and more, in which case gambling can become a huge problem for them.

While you are right in all your narratives am encouraging you to stand upon your ground to which you know very well that you can only afford to lose irrespective of the gravity of the criticism those around you are hitting up to you, it is your money and your choice of how you want to spend it, we have different individual risk tolerance level of which it best anyone should only stick their own without wanting to do like others, if we can prioritize gambling with am amount we can be comfortable with, then it is a bad and irresponsible gambling practices. It is not easy to win and run that's true even though alot claims they can on winning a jackpot.

If we consider gambling as training, as a spiritual path of development and self-improvement, then, in my opinion, it is quite reasonable to make small bets (thereby minimizing your losses).

When gambling, you directly encounter Chaos, Destiny and Luck. These are the entities that play a very large role in your life, but only gambling allows you to study these entities in all their original power and strength. This is an extremely useful and exciting activity!

Gambling plus philosophy can bring great benefits to the player. It is during the game that the player can develop those life tactics and strategies that he can then successfully apply in real life.

Understanding the very essence (the very basis) of our life will give the player a competitive advantage over other people who poorly understand such entities as Chaos, Luck and Destiny

Everyone has his own reasons why we gamble, sometimes its for fun and if we have the money to lose then why not? But I do believed that most of us gamble because we wanted to win money and change our lives.

And also it could be the there are some who believed that they are lucky or somewhat has control of what will be the outcome of their gambling. And their minds they might have thought that they are going to win like in betting in lottery. And so with that it will be a never ending cycle for us. As once we didn't win then maybe we should try the next time.

Yes, everyone has a certain level of risk tolerance, but many cannot limit themselves to that level, you should gamble with the amount of money you can afford to lose, but when people face losses, they can easily gamble emotionally with more money than they can afford. But if they do not understand their own good, and gamble with more risk and face huge losses, then only they will have to take the responsibility for this.
Gambling should be done with proper planning, proper limits and complete budget control, if these things are not controlled, it can lead to huge losses.

It doesn't matter if you bet big or small. Gamblers are definitely the loser if they take gambling seriously to earn money. Be thankful if it gives you some return but if not then move on and just come back the other day. Never chase your losses in gambling as it will not give you a good result.

Casinos are not meant to generate ones income. It's not a charity where it will give money to people. If you keep coming back because you're chasing for a win then you are gambling in a wrong way. You should enjoy gambling whether you win or lose.

Indeed, it's a never ending cycle whether you win or lose, unless you decide to part ways and never come back after a big loss or, especially, a big win. But sometimes, the problem is that after reaching a big win, they aim for a bigger amount again, and so on. Others come back because they are not content with the amount, especially if it's just a small amount or just a daily, weekly, or monthly target. Contentment is one of the keys if one wants to keep their winnings.

The thought of winning and walking away sounds nice, but most people don’t actually do that.  They win and then feel even more confident, which just drags them in deeper I think your perspective of keeping things small and treating it like fun is the safest approach
At least that way you’re not risking more than you can afford and you keep in control.

When it comes to gambling people are always seen you as someone that is not responsible so there is enough reasons why when you are gambling you just do your thing your self and not care about what people will think you are not responsible and people will not know the advantage that gambling comes with when you win and there is always reasons why people need to see it as an opportunity and when it comes to gambling there people that have made more money than expected so we are going to be able make another way to make money.  And when it comes to tolerance and we know how risky gambling can be but the same time it can be managed so that you don't lose everything more than you can win. Gambling is fun.

Usually, when a gambler wins, they think there is more. And when they lose, they also think they might be lucky next time. So they continue gambling, chasing luck.

In the end, gamblers don't get anything aside from having experience. While the casino takes everything we have, especially if we don't stop. That is why, before we decide to gamble, we see to it that we are ready to lose money. Whether we like it or not, our gambling journey is too tough to think about.

This also applies to other facets of life. I see it a lot in my working discipline, we do lots of convictions, employ several strategies to sell our ideas to clients in order to pull off with contracts. So, I see these factors play out most times, especially when you are sure you sure not the most qualified, but somehow you managed to play your cards very well and turned the favorite.


It would definitely give you an advantage by offering a stronger emotional preparedness and not really making you stand more chances to win, unless for P2P games where you need more confidence and and emotional strength and tactic to win the opponent. Another good point is that gamblers are very logical and can analyze situations easily and come out faster with great decisions.

Yes, hallucinating is always fun, but thinking about it too much is dangerous, the impact of which, as you said above, can make a gambler overconfident, especially when they have managed to get their first win. In this situation, we can conclude that it turns out that success in achieving victory can cloud a person's consciousness and plunge them deeper, meaning that understanding what and how gambling really is and also maintaining a level of consciousness when you are playing is something that is very important to do, because everything will be fine in the sense that you will not exceed your limits when your common sense is maintained.

A never-ending storm that's a deep figurative description of what gambling truly embodies.There's this addictive cycle that's overly attached to gamblers during their early stages of gambling.Gambling is a never-ending storm I know so because the aftermath of consistent gambling can be damaging and endless.

This is correct, even when I have lost for a while in a row, it seems I cannot avoid gambling forever. NO matter how I distance myself from it, after sometime the desire to gamble returns and I slowly find my way back to the casino. I believe the best thing to do is to have a budget and gamble responsibly. I'm yet to see a gambler who left gambling forever.

Yeah, most times the casino wins, but when you gamble responsibly, you don't actually loose, but only paid the price associated with having some fun

This is one of the reason why we can still boldly call gambling as a way of being entertained because one of the reason behind us not leaving been after we might have won is because of its entertainment benefits we get, the more we are playing the bigger the fun we have and we may be triggered the more to continue until we have nothing left for us to use to gamble, which is why many referred to gambling as being entertained.

You can pay for a party and not enjoy it, I believe you are talking about been the invited guest right? I've been to parties where I regretted going because their food sucks, or the location is a very bad place, I remember one where I drive down to the location it was a very bad road and I ended up spending money to fix my car, I regretted it.

People who paid for ticket to watch movies sometimes are not happy because the movie sucks, are we in this same world called earth because I am surprised with your question, some movies are just bad that people will complain watching them at the cinema.

I understand where you are coming from but these two examples aren't accurate with the way you talked about them, I strongly believe that nothing comes for free too, gambling is fun but many gamblers don't see it this way, they risk money to make money, to them it's this or nothing.

Yes you're very right on point in this statement, I think wining sometimes in gambling looks like a trap because when you win the urge to go for more will always be there, that's why I personally chose to gamble with what I feel I can lest go even though I win a bet today for instance, I will still want to gamble with what I won't be bothered with, for me, I think individual gamblers that practice gambling for fun understands the concept of gambling as such they follow what gambling was actually meant for, I think casinos understand that humans have unsatisfiable wants as such they know that some gamblers will be coming for more if they win or even lose thats why they aren't bothered when a gambler win, so at the end the will always be at the profiting side just as you said.

I am trying to understand what you meant.

You don't have to turn gambling to a source of income for you to always be back here for more, even those who are having fun gambling can hit a jackpot but my point still stand the same, they will be back.

Even those who won millions through gambling find it very hard to move on and enjoy their lives away from gambling activities, they always come back, so it doesn't matter..

It doesn't matter if you are a serious gambler, irresponsible gambler or someone who likes to gamble once in a week, fun or desire to make money will drive you to make a comeback.

Gamblers break their heart when they put in so much expectations in gambling forgetting that it's a game of chance and luck.. fixing your mind at the outcome will only get you agitated and anxious...most people that are addicted to Gambling started from being obsessed to win.. chasing wins and trying to make gambling a source of income can lead to losses, this repeated cycle is what causes addiction

Left for me I'm not going to bet heavily into a game of chance with the mindset of risk taking, it's kinda crazy cause the house got the upper hand afterall so why go in with all your money or do it to the point of getting addicted, left for me it should be something done less often to avoid addiction or situation where you become greedy and decide to bet beyond your spare money

 I'm not against gambling, It can be fun and entertaining especially when you bet on the team you support and they win but every gambler needs to bare in mind that it's a game of chance and the house got more edge, I believe that alone would help them avoid the stormy side of gambling.

How exactly? As we all know it, gambling is purely luck-based, your understanding of life and how chaos, luck, and destiny work isn't going to give you any advantage unless you are playing a competitive game where you skills and understanding matter, and even then, understanding of the things you mentioned isn't relevant and one only needs to have a basic know-how about how the game works and how they can play so that they can stay in the game longer than others, this works in poker, for example.

Other than that, no knowledge or experience or anything can give a player a competitive advantage in gambling, but it's only luck that gives you an edge against the house when you are gambling. People often think that they can stay profitable in the long run if they either apply certain strategies or gamble carefully, but these are all myths, you can't stay profitable in the long run no matter what you do if you are playing casino games.

You are right mate, having much expectations in gamble will ruin the gambler. If not gambling for fun the rest is something else because you to win is not an easy task. Although some gambler really thinks that they can put up hard works to predict their games and win but it's not possible that way.

You would be messing up your entire life if you are that having that kind of views or perceptions towards gambling is on which to make money with it. Most gamblers do have that kind of realization at the moment that they had been able to experience unfortunate conditions basing up into the actions that they had made out. Gambling industry is progressing and profitable on which simply means that there are tons of people who are that burning up money just because they've been believing that they can make money with it on which this is actually the opposite. There are just that those people or individuals who do make out those kind of right approach towards entertainment and didnt end up on having that messed up life or finances just because they do know on what they've been dealing on with and not that making themselves being delusional. The main issue on here is on the moment that you are thriving to become rich with gambling because this will be making you desperate and wont be stopping not until you have achieved up such goal in mind.

When you are putting up too much expectations towards gambling then it will be just basically be giving out that kind of urge for you to play further on which this will be that resulting into that kind of desperation on which this is that bad for your finances, not unless if you do have some allocated budget and dont go beyond with those limits then it should be just that fine but if you are doing up on the opposite then that would be bringing up that huge disaster into your finances. Its always been that good that you do know on what you should gonna do and not just that totally playing up like a madman without trying out to think on what are those situations that you've been currently experiencing. So its always been best that you do know on what you are that been trying to deal on with.

I bet most of the gamblers knew it. However, there are people who just can afford to lose more money that what we earn from our day jobs. For them, this is the fun and excitement they are looking for. But not for those frustrated gamblers who gambles carelessly without even worrying if they go broke.
Regardless if you're a heavy bettor or just a small time bettor, we all are gonna lose more than we win eventually. That's always gonna be the reality of gambling.

Don't listen to them. You're on the right path, and one day they'll envy you for the wisdom that saved you from unnecessary risks.

Choosing to only risk small bets doesn't mean you can't win large sums, as sportbetting offers many options that can fit your budget. Like you, I only risk small amounts and bet on the exact result of matches. It's true that I haven't been lucky enough to win a large sum of money yet, but I won't stop trying as long as it doesn't cost me more than I can afford to lose.

One thing a lot of gamblers don't understand is that it's quite easy to start gambling but ending it is always a long process and for no reason should anyone buy you into the idea of wanting to gamble more knowing the do's and don't cause they won't face the repercussions with you when it happens, they may be present to cheer you up during your wins but when you start getting out of control you'll know everyone is after themselves... Stay at the side of gambling with low risks and enjoy the fun you get that's all.

The brain and mindset are what determines whether this will be just entertainment or an unstoppable addiction. I have that experience, and to be almost addicted, but I decided not to hold the money completely for myself. I handed it over to my wife as a way for me to control it. It's true as you said, the long process of quitting is a problem faced by beginners. Every time you have free money, the brain will start thinking, is it used for gambling? if the ego wins, then this will be the choice. But, as an effort to control so as not to exceed the limit, not holding your own money is an effective way.

Being realistic, the possible reward is directly proportional to the risk the gambler is willing to take on sportbetting and also on casino games, so it is very unlikely small bettor or penny gamblers will ever get a significant amount of money out the casino. That is a reality we need to keep in mind.
Regardless of that, I agree if one is not willing to risk more money one feels comfortable with, then it is the proper thing not to allow the opinions of others to influence the way we manage our money and the risks we take.
If we suddenly started to listen to those kind of people who encourage us to gamble more and bigger, we would rapidly lose control over our finances and in the worst case, we would blame those people who encouraged us to gamble more in the beginning, when we are the only ones responsible for our choices.

Only if you are not a disciplined gamblers.
Let's appreciate those gamblers that are motivated and knows how to manage their funds and profits.
They won't allow the casinos to take back what they have gained because of what was lost from them already.

Before you start playing, separate the funds for your basic and other important expenses. And just use the money that you feel you can deplete or should I say, you can burn from this addictive activity. Because if you won't contain your spending habits, you will see that before you know it, you already busted all your money. At least, be conservative with your expectations so you won't be regretting going into this addictive habit.


The fun and entertainment will always be there. But if you are financially struggling, the considerations may vary when you go into this activity. Should consider that there are other ways to entertain yourself if you have serious financial problem.

What matters the most is why you are gambling, and how are you gambling. Are you spending some pocket money to have a little bit of entertainment? Then you are doing a good job, and no problem with that. As a vice this is not in any worse than the majority of people who will have a couple of drinks or cigarettes, if not more. They also waste money on all kinds overpriced entertainment, so who is to say to you that your choice is bad. Sure, there is some risk always that it will get you increasingly addicted. But plenty of other types of entertainment or leisure type activities are dangerous in their own way.

Winning is actually what hooks you, not the specially crafted interface or something like that. Most people are simply unable to handle easy money, and this corrupts them. Just look at many lottery winners.

Wrong. Is your Netflix subscription a loss of money then? If you are doing it for entertainment and it is under control, then it is the cost of entertainment of your choice and not a loss.

So many of those gamblers (even those who claim to be professionals) that trust and depends solely on their hardwork or skill for gambling success always end up getting into trouble more times. And it's quite funny that so many gamblers (even on this platform) still believes strongly that gambling for fun is bullshit, and that everyone who claims to gamble for fun are nothing but dishonest junkies who knows the truth (that everyone gambles for money) but won't admit it. And actually , I do feel sorry for these kind of people, I really do.

Gambling is an addiction that is very difficult to get out of. If a person wins a few times, it is not easy to quit gambling. Many people start gambling with small amounts of money, while many people who have most of their money always gamble with large amounts of money and are unable to come back from it. There are many people who do not win in gambling, but they cannot give up their greed. They are hopeful that they will get something good in the future, but their money runs out like this. So I think that a big win will never make a person quit gambling, but rather his greed will increase. When gamblers win a lot, their greed increases and they become addicted to winning, so they are more at risk, then it becomes very difficult to come back.

Those people is unable to win in the gambling and continue to gamble because they have lost so much in the gambling, I will not say it's a greedy that makes them to continue, Those set of people have it at back of their mind that they will one day win, I think that's what they believe on, because gambling is something we don't predict accurately you can win by chance so that's it, so for those people who has not win in the gambling before and they continue to play as I mentioned before on my statement, so they are being pained because they have not benefited anything through gambling, so immediately they win once that will cover whatever they lost in gambling, they will leave gambling voluntarily

A few years ago I was lucky enough to meet a psychologist who used games as a method of working with clients. He was a very unusual psychologist, for example, he never rented a place to live, but lived in his clients' apartments, as he believed that this would help him study human nature as well as possible.

He created complex psychological games, in the form of a series of parties or multi-day trips with a large group to nature. Players had to interact with each other, performing complex tasks together, and he carefully observed each one, and at the end gave each one very valuable and deep feedback. His games included economics (that is, a skilled player could not only receive psychological help and learn a lot about himself, but also earn money).

His games also included elements of gambling. He was interested in a variety of entities - Chaos, Luck, Destiny, Power, Money, Love, Relationships, etc.

This psychologist very often repeated that games are the easiest way to change and expand your life strategies.

Yes, it's good attitude to enjoy gambling by risking small amount of money and the ones who do such thing are free from most risks.

It doesn't matter what people say. According to people, if we use gambling as a means of earning money and bet a lot of money on gambling, then the loss will be ours and not the people. When I lose, no one will help me, then everyone will leave me. It is the job of people to criticize people, it is not only in your case but in everyone's case. I gamble for entertainment, I use a very small amount of money in gambling and if I win, some more money is added to my small amount of money. And even if I lose, I am losing with my small amount of money, here I do not feel any regret. And if I gamble recklessly and become addicted to gambling, then the loss will be mine and I will have to pay for the rest of my life, so I should always gamble responsibly, ignoring people's words.

You can still gamble for money and not mess up with your emotions I do that a lot and I never get too emotional cause I gamble with an amount I keep aside, gambling for fun is cool cause it doesn't give you much stress just like when you put in a lot of money into it but that been said, you can't expect everyone to gamble for fun because some people takes the game seriously that's why they put in money.

I don`t sure but 16 profitable months in a row is enough long run or i stopped to early to lose all? It was sport betting, may be you`re talking about casino games?

In my situation i`m not gambling man, so when i understand that i can`t do what i want and bet and work the same time - i stopped the game. Today i bet only if i have free time.

But most players will never listen from this advice even if they get victim and disappointed many times, and I'm talking about the addicted players who have been trap on this platform because they most basic way to stay ahead of a gambling addictive wave is to minimize the stake input amount, setting yourself limit to quit after many losses and so on. Its quite unfortunate that the best risk taking technique in gambling is the surest way to guiding yourself out of any gambling mess in the industry.  

Nowadays, the main purpose of most gamblers is to make money, a gambler cannot maintain the right perspective in gambling, people are easily attracted to it due to the easy profit through gambling, and as a result, they cannot easily control their greed even if they want to. Very few gamblers are those who actually gamble for entertainment, and most gamblers have the wrong purpose in gambling, and they will definitely get negative results from it.

Arbitrage is the key to making profits

Maybe I will walk away from gambling forever only if I experience a big winning amount in gambling that my family can live on by giving the dreams I want for them,
even though I know it is impossible and it would be a miracle if it happens to me too.

Though, at the beginning of my gambling, I really couldn't deny that when I experienced winning, this was the main reason why I went back and forth to the casino to gamble. It was because I thought it was easy to make a profit from gambling but in the end, my expectations were wrong, so I changed that in the long run up to the present now.

It is impossible for a person to earn from gambling and leave it for the rest of their life. When a gambler earns, they become addicted to gambling because it is what can give them the money. So how can a gambler leave their source of income? Maybe they can take a break for some time, but they will never leave gambling. Secondly, your dream is like a fairy tale but has a chance to be true one day, and that will depend on your actions, because I have never seen a person who can earn such money that they spend like an ocean and quit gambling forever.

Not only that, but they have the ability to experiment with multiple platforms and gain extensive experience with operating systems in the gambling industry in general. Personally, this short experience has enabled me to learn about the gambling industry from different perspectives, not just from a gambler's perspective. Often, I visit platforms just to test out certain features and write a review.

I also don't deny the forum's role in introducing me to this industry, as I was never interested in this industry before joining the forum. The gambling industry has provided a significant boost to the crypto sector, bringing it to the mainstream after it had been the exclusive domain of specialists and experts.

Beginner's luck is the most tempting kind of win. The gambler, if not conscious, can get trapped in gambling, and it becomes difficult for him or her to quit when there is still hope in their mind of winning again. Gambling can be a never-ending storm for those who cannot control themselves.

You can win now but the next time you play is going to be any day that you do not know what will happen and even though you lose today, you are still going to be back to keep on gambling. Nobody stops gambling completely, it does not matter if you have gotten addicted or not. You are not going to stop gambling just like that therefore if you win, you can stop gambling for that day before your win turns into a lost. Many people have made the same mistake in which after winning, instead of taking a break they kept on gambling and the story ended badly for them. Gambling is a never ending cycle but you are to try to not be the one always losing. Know when to stop gambling and know when you can keep playing until your exhaust your budget for the day.

As for me, i will say that gambling is never an ending storm, because i choose to be a gambler and no one should be held responsible for the way i gamble than myself, i chose to have the storm or not depending on the kind of gambler i present myself to be.

Most of us gambling will not take full responsibility of what we do, because we know already that they are not perfect enough to be recommended, and its also a shame that there's nothing they can do to help the situation improve as they are gambling, this makes it turned a storm on them because it is beyond their own personal control.

The development of gambling addiction is directly related to a culture phenomenon observed nowadays in Generation Y onwards, which has as essential elements wide access to internet and emergence of social influencers. The average folk aims the social influencer as his personal concept of ideal life.

The social influencer makes a living from the average folks who watch him in a daily basis, so he can afford a luxurious life standard. On the other hand, the average person doesn't have means to copy that lifestyle, but the social influencer sells the idea he can somehow... And there comes the idea gambling can help the common citizen to achieve his financial dreams overnight, just like the social influencer he idolizes did!

After all, people are being encouraged to become greedy and impulsive, because it's profitable for the ones at the top of the pyramid. And with greediness, comes laziness as well, because if profit can't be made instantly, people immediately lose interest.

Having the discipline to let go of your losses is not easy especially if you are an addicted gambler. A lot of gamblers lack self-control that's why they keep throwing their money away because they can't help themselves... chasing your losses is one of the most stupid mistake  any gambler can ever make...it feels like chasing something that doesn't exist or should I say it feels like chasing your shadow.

Yes, discipline is crucial not only in gambling but also in other activities. But the problem is that many gamblers, especially addicted gamblers, are too susceptible to emotion during a losing streak, and the realization that you have to stop comes too late, ie, when the deposit is already empty.

Your words rhymes very well with the title of this topic.
I know people who have won significant sums of money playing poker and haven't returned to a table in at least 20 years.

I've played games of chance in which I've won and have never returned to those games, and fortunately, that's the case for the average person.

At the end of this sectarian discussion, it's just a matter of statistics. Some people who win big understand it as a one-time event that happened and that's it. Others are probably more hooked on the game, but there's no one-size-fits-all phrase like the one mentioned.

Perception of many towards gambling make it's seems it's do it die affair when loss it wining is involved, wining in gambling comes mostly when you are less expecting it to happen because it's a thing of luck know matter how clever or tactical a gambler will be the outcome of loss always goes beyond the wining strength the best as gambler is to stick to the fun which is mostly the part of the gambling design as that will also cut down emotional heart break when some loss occur as gambler.

If you think you can get away with it without getting caught red handed by casinos and bookies, sure, you can make some money out of it, no doubt.
But you also would need to consider anyone wishing to perform arbitrage would require a quite large initial bankroll and deposit it on different bookies in order to start arbitraging, the risk would not be worth it, considering your balance could be confiscated by those bookies at any time.
If you want to arbitrage and have less of a risk to lose all your money, it would better just to stick to perform arbitrage between cryptocurrency exchanges, instead of casinos. It is not against their terms of service and if exchanges are trustworthy, you would not lose your sleep thinking how much you got deposited on those.

That greed leads him to deviate from his goal and consistently lose more. The recommendation for novice gamblers should be to avoid their greed and even distance themselves from the expectation of getting rich in a short time. They look for the example of experienced gamblers and want to align themselves with them but the reality is that they should spend more time and limit the amount of money allocated. This can be called a trap if he is a novice gambler and cannot control himself and being greed does not allow him to gain experience.

So true, mate. The beginner's luck is the first step that traps you in this system, and once you enter, you will know that the exit is very difficult. At the beginning stage, when you are winning, you will think that you can do it, and honestly speaking, that first win is the profit that motivates you so much, and your destruction starts from it. If I can simply say, it's a loop where you can get stuck easily, and you will put your hard earned money into chasing nothing.

The only possible way is to accept and realize that gambling is not a quick rich scheme and to work the way it is showing. Once you realize this, then the exit will be easy for you.

Not only chasing losses but also chasing wins.  I think chasing a win is also one of the most stupid mistake of any gambler.  Not because a gambler heard someone won a huge amount, he wanted to duplicate the winning thus he bet aggressively hoping to also win a huge amount.

Btw, an addicted gambler already lost its control since he already can't control the urge to gamble.  I think an addicted person needs a serious medical attention in order to recover the control.  If a gambler is already addicted,  control is almost non-existent so it is not a matter whether gambling is hard to control or not since there is already no control at all.

Same here. I make bets with peanut amounts (20 USD at max), yes I don't win big but I don't lose big either and this is the only reason I don't have a single regret in my gambling history, all the while making matches interesting to watch.

We all bet in different amounts, but the most important thing is knowing we should only gamble what we can afford to lose.

For some of us, $20 is nothing just snack money. But for others who don’t even earn that much in a day, that’s already a big deal. And yet, they still gamble.

I know people who make less than $10 a day, but when they’re gambling, it’s like they’re throwing in their whole paycheck without a second thought. That’s when it stops being fun and starts becoming addiction.

Gambling becomes a problem when you mind is centered around making Profit... gambling cannot be a source of income and the earlier you accept it the better for you..But there are Still a small percentage of gamblers that gamble for fun and still end up getting addicted..The most important thing to take note of is to always keep everything you do in moderation, doing anything excessively is bad.. whether you gamble for fun or Profit have a limit

I think it is very unlikely someone who sees gambling as a way to get fun and entertainment will get addicted to wagering their money on casinos, when compared to people who want to get right out their gambling sessions...
Either way, I have always thought that talking about addiction to gambling or addiction to anything in general is a very sensitive topic, because I am aware of the suffering it can bring to gamblers, their family members and even those who are dependants of people addicted to gamblers... It would be ideal if government and other organizations offered help to those who are aware they have a problem with gambling and need to get back to have a normal life.

I agree because it is very important to always make sure that we only gamble with the amount of money we are ready to lose, the amount of money that is left after all our needs are met.

Therefore, we should not act stupidly, by risking the money we have just for something that we are not certain to get, while behind all that our needs have not been met. Try to think longer, defeat is something that we will definitely get, don't let our stomachs rumble just because of gambling, especially if we have dependents.

When we only have a fairly low income, it does not mean that we should not gamble, we can gamble, as long as we know when it is time to gamble, because it might be more beneficial if the money you deposit on the gambling site is used for something else that is more useful, such as saving it for emergency funds or to add to supplies.

Managing loss is very difficult and almost impossible those who can manage the loss of gambling are able to winning in the long run. And it is also correct that we should not bet those amount which we can't afford if we invest more then we afford then it will be nothing but storm.

I may be wrong,  but when he talked about managing losses I think he meant we as responsible gamblers are supposed not only to throw money away into the casino and then feel guilty or negatively affected by those losses, but rather to mentally assume and process those losses, so one won't get either economically or mentally broke.
Managing losses is not about winning money and beating the house, but rather keep a minimum of responsibility on our losses and not to go further into recklessness because of the amount we have already lost.

Anyways, in my opinion, it is obvious one should never risk more than one is able to lose to one's own bad luck...

I'll guess. Probably the ones that are saying that you will not win a lot are those gamblers that are spending too much money from gambling. Well, I wonder if they're making money, or losing too much from gambling. :D
No. After getting a win, I will just gamble all of those funds again until I lose.
Because of this, I don't want to spend too much time on gambling like you. I only spend a small amount of money, and that money is money that I'm willing to lose that's why I will just gamble, and gamble until I lose it all.

We can stop gambling after making a win. Problem is, gamblers can't be contented with their wins and after winning, they want to win even more that's why they will gamble, and gamble until they lose it all. Probably, there are some that knows when to stop after winning a significant amount of money, but most can't stop themselves, and that's why many are saying that in the long run, casino owners are the big winners. :D

Is there no such help for gambling addiction in your country? There are such institutions in the Russian Federation. Very good help is provided to the addicted person. After rehabilitation, work continues with the person so that he does not have a relapse again. Yes, not all clinics are free, but there are those that provide good discounts in emergency cases. I once wanted to contact him myself, but I managed it almost on my own. My close people and relatives helped me.

I completely agree with you, I have made those mistakes and it is difficult to get up because the only way to recover the money that has been lost is by working, but not by gambling in the casino, but by working in our profession or whatever the job is, and that is where you see things like effort , dedication and toughness, which is knowing where the money comes from, that is what you should think about before making a movement with money that should not be lost , therefore you should not risk it.

I agree with your words that gambling is never an ending storm of gambling today, to return back tomorrow to gamble. This is what many gamblers don't know. If they engage in gambling with the mentality of winning in mind, this is how they will be gambling regularly without stopping, even when they have got their one-time winning after losing countless times. Their gambling habits will still be in them; never let go because there's always a hope to have more wins to cover up the losses.

Not everyone realizes it quickly, it is the best way to stop bigger losses, and I think every gambler should do the same to avoid pressure. It is okay to stop for a while to improve your financial condition by working, and if you really want to gamble again, you can come back with a more stable mentality and more controlled emotions.

Almost most gamblers have made mistakes, and that is very natural. Mistakes that have been made will be valuable experiences, which can be a reminder and strengthen the principle of never violating your boundaries. Luck in gambling is not just about big wins, these things are also luck. It must be admitted, acting responsibly is difficult, the easiest part is just saying it.

Humble gambler or not, you are still a gambler and contributing your quota to the gambling industry. Every lose is a lose and those that benefit the most are those that stands as CEOs to the business. It’s good to be a conservative gambler though, you never get to gamble more than you can afford to lose
For those that wish for gambling to end, I really feel they should come to terms with the fact that, there are those that wants it to stay around because, we’ve learnt how to be disciplined about it.

If you are gambling in a disciplined manner, there is no cause for alarm if you choose to gamble till old age. It's when you see gambling as the only means of making it in life that it will affect you physically, psychologically, mentally, and emotionally because the outcome will be the opposite. This is why we need to gamble for fun and let go of our losses because the house edge will always win.

I'm not sure that quitting gambling is the best way.
We will not talk about that particular case when a person came to gambling and immediately won a lot of money. After which he left gambling forever, because such lucky people are literally 1 in 1,000.
I am sure that if someone has strong self-control, then he can periodically gamble for small amounts and thus relieve stress and lift his spirits. It is still better than alcohol, and there is a chance to win even more money.

You're right because pursuing a must win in gambling will only lead to more harm by making us to lose more money so the best thing to do is to make sure that we don't kill ourselves concerning gambling whether we win or not gambling with caution is the best knowing that gambling is not certain so using a small amount of money in gambling which is not worth anything to us is a good way of dealing with gambling

It is never ending only if you see it like that because, I think if you want to end it ,it is possible except for those that are addicted and can't do without it they find it very difficult to quit , but for those that are not addicted after every win still come back to gamble since they are gambling for fun and not for the money.

We can be in control of how we gamble regardless of what people think that gambling is a habit that we can not control. If you are disciplined, gambling addiction is not going to be your problem because you can control the way that you gamble. You will know when to take risks or when to rethink the decision of risking more money. Gambling is a behaviour that you can not stop that easily but you can control how you do it. Gambling is always going to attract you as an old gambler and the cycle would not end because after you lose, you will want to win back your money and this is going to make you lose more when you try to recover again, then you see yourself going in cycle.

Understanding how gambling works, I hope that everyone is aware of the situation and stops chasing wins or their losses because this will never have an end. Instead, it incurs more losses. We don't discourage people from gambling, but it is also important for them to have the right information, unlike how these influencers are doing.

We just think that gambling is risky and has no assurance of winning. Therefore, we also stop thinking that this could help us and multiply our money, because if we are unlucky, we certainly get nothing.

This is true about gambling, we should not kill ourselves over it because we want to make a lot of money, it often don't happen that way and there is nothing we can do about it. It is best to use the amount that you can afford to loose so that you will not care so much about losing your money and putting yourself under stress and regrets. It is a known fact by every experienced gambler that you cannot beat the casinos on the long run, if you actually know this you will not harm yourself by pursuing a long term wins or profitability in gambling. Gamble for fun and if you win in the process you should take it and enjoy it, don't expect to win everytime.

How many times gamblers have experienced this and they still go and chase that big win despite so many lost sessions, most of the time being such sessions in a consecutive way. If they stopped and started thinking cold headed they would realize that the money is better in their wallets than the wallet of the casino where they are going to deposit this money and most of the cases lose it. I think though that when you are in a storm your adrenaline is super high, so in such situation the gambler while losing have a high adrenaline which dictates him to go and deposit again which lead to losing money. You can't fight adrenaline otherwise we would not have so many addicted gamblers, the feeling of being very energized while gambling is something very difficult to forget and that is why they say there is no forever in gambling, only today.

And you know what, the casinos never lose, if a gambler win so much today, it's just a matter of time before the casino collect back all that money again. Despite that we can get some profit from gambling which they still end up taking back, it's wise that we just gamble with the amount of money that we can afford to lose. Every gambler knows their financial ability, so they should be wise to gamble responsibly, else the person can just go broke, thinking that they are wining in gambling while they are losing more.

Honestly, if a gambler win and is not being careful of how to utilize the more money effectively, he may run into spending all back on gambling over time, because it's a gradual process and as we are gambling, we continue to lose more often than we win bets, that is why we should learn to invest from our winnings, so that everything don't end up going back into gambling and it later appears as if we never won before.

That's a fact, and the earlier people know and plan their gambling habits well, the better, otherwise, they'll see the other side of gambling. The gambling industry is increasing and flourishing yearly, which could only mean that there are more losers who are making it flourish with their money.

Strangely, I am positive in gambling, I hold the record of making more money than losing, and I've been gambling since around 2006. So I buy your idea, a small mount that is well-planned and managed is a good one. Also, the gambler must not gamble anyhow, but have a winning gambling strategy and pattern.

Or maybe 1 in 10000. It's difficult to quit after winning a big multiplier. Once you taste that sweet victory, you will be drooling for more. I experienced it many times, and I still play slots because I want to achieve it one more time. But I think it will be my last time if ever I get it again. The stress given by a losing streak is not easy to handle. There will be a point when one should just walk away from playing slots because it's not entertaining anymore, but more like a stressful type of game.

This is true, gamblers will lose as long as they gamble and casinos will win as long as gamblers come there to wager money.

The only way out of this is not gamble and be the casino.

Of course for once a year gambling with a limited budget this can similar to doing something one has never done in their lifetime. But most people who know gambling have been trying their luck for years with no good outcome.

Winning or losing will not stop people from gambling. They get the thrill and challenge from gambling so they want to come back and play other gambling games. It is difficult to stay away from the temptations of gambling unless that person have a good self control. If you want to gambling, you should limit our time and not gambling too often and it is better you have a schedule so you know when you can playing gambling. That will make you playing gambling occasionally so you don't spend much money and could stay away from the problem.

It's impossible for you as a gambler not to gamble at all because you don't want to run at loss. It's a good thing to always consider losing your funds whenever you think of gambling but that doesn't mean that you should deprive yourself from gambling for fun. It's good that you should only gamble with little amount of money that wouldn't make you feel bad after losing your bet.

do we still have gambler's that are chasing the winning by all means here in the forum, I don't think we still have such gamblers in our mist since it's evidence that, there is no way a player will win over the house most especially when it obvious that the gambler is up against the winning by all means and playing in house casinos game's, with house edge in place, the possibility of winning a few time is there any ways but the problem is that, you can guarantee which game will be winning or not, so best to go along with managing your risks with small amount of money while gambling to avoid heavy loses that can lead to disappointment on the long run.

Well, you don't gamble to chase a loss. You gamble because you like it, and you want to win. Now, as you said, it's more than good to consider any deposit as lost money, no matter if you are lucky and eventually win. That doesn't destroy the fun. It's like going out with your friends to drink beer or whatever. Money loss but great fun.

The human nature is to try to win. In gambling there is nothing called a win, but a minimization of the loss. The casino is the one who is always going to win, that is why it is gambling and not a sport where you can hone your skills and your performance matters there.

Gambling is a choice though. You can avoid gambling completely if you want to. Nothing is left out if someone does not gamble, rather they save their money from being lost.

Still I understand the motion here, indeed playing once a while is nothing bad if kept in a limited budget.

I think that casinos in small quantities are good for you. I don't think you should completely give up casinos, because you can use it to diversify your leisure time. I think that replenishing your deposit by $30 a couple of times a month and making a few bets on your favorite team's matches is an activity that won't do any harm. Of course, you need to be careful and listen to your feelings, and you need to understand that this is not the best way to try to earn money, but it is a great hobby and stress reliever.

Sometimes before you can see such luck again, if you have been consistently gambling, you must lost so much that will almost equal or be higher that the huge win you are going to get. This is the experience that I have seen some gamblers talked about, that they lost so much before winning big and that how it happen. It's very rare for someone to win huge amount consistently, and like you said, huge win is like a force of attraction that always make the gambler wants to keep trying luck so that they can win huge again, some gamblers realize that it's impossible but some don't and they end up giving back to the casino the money they have won.

Does this conflict with the idea of many that gambling specifically luck-based game results is random?  So how could one have a winning gambling strategy if the gambling result is unknown, The same applies to the pattern. how can one find a winning pattern in a game with a random result based on RNG.  I am just curious to know your winning gambling strategy and pattern if you don't mind.


Those who are lucky enough is able to re-experience the luck that gives them a huge amount of winning but most of us are having a hard time to duplicate those huge winnings.


To trigger a huge win is very rare itself, what more experiencing it consistently, I bet the one who experienced that is a "child of destiny"  where anything he does luck always intervene.

The fact that you are gambling with what you can afford to let go I think it is okay and that is the best approach to go about gambling that is also gambling responsibly and what people or friends say about your way of gambling should not move or drive you because you are playing safe, if you check very well most of those people that are criticizing you are not doing better than you and that is the more reason you should not give a fuck.

However, you are absolutely correct, no matter how much we win from gambling we can never stop but rather we can reduce the rate we do gamble because gambling itself has a force we can not see. It is not that easy to stop gambling totally even though you are not an addict unless one is too occupy with something very important everyday.

gambling is something that is normal for those who already understand the algorithm of gambling itself. but for those who are very lay, gambling can be a disaster for them. so it is very relevant if gambling is said to be an endless storm, because gambling only promises a victory and never guarantees that it will win periodically. all that is just nonsense, because even if you win and become rich it is the beginning of defeat and poverty.

gambling will never end until they realize that they are being fooled by the system, regardless of whether we play with a small or large amount even if the system has not said he will win roulette. If you win the roulette you still lose, because why? because you have lost several previous games or if you are just playing gambling for the first time with a fairly large win you will still lose, because you will definitely come back and play with a larger amount.

therefore stop gambling before everyone takes what you have now. even if you have goods obtained from gambling, it all only lasts temporarily. Because when you experience a fairly large defeat, all of that will be forced to be sold in order to get capital to play gambling.

Betting small does not mean that you will win small. The loss may be smaller, yes, but if you get exactly what you bet on, the gain may be considerable. I do the same thing, I bet small, I do not let myself be carried away by the greed of million-dollar victories.

When a person wins, it will certainly make them feel confident that they can win again. This is completely normal and valid. When I win, I make my withdrawal immediately, otherwise, I can fall into this mental trap too.

Truth is, as a gambler to you shouldn't be concerned about what people tell you. It's up to you to take the risk and what ever choice you make is all yours .Your losses are yours to bear so you don't have to blame someone when it comes. As a gambler, after your wins you should take some time off and have fun. This way you don't end up losing back the money you won to the Casino. There's nothing also wrong in placing smaller bets as it's a way to help you control your risk.

I am one of the people who believe gambling is luck-based, but this doesn't apply to every aspect of gambling. You can't say gambling is luck-based and you gamble anyhow with sports betting. That's the difference. You need a strategy and a gambling pattern with it, and that must include your budget and management. What many call the luck-based leans more toward casino games where you are racing against an algorithm.

I have asked myself this question many times. Where I have made a decision in my mind that when I get a big win, I will quit gambling. But at the time when I get such a win, I cannot want to quit. Because at that time I am waiting for some more wins and at some point my winnings will run out. I think if those who have enjoyed gambling try to quit gambling, I think they will not be able to do so. It is better for a gambler to stay in and stay within his ability than to quit. If a gambler quickly runs out of his bankroll, he will have to increase his bankroll again and if he can survive by gambling by placing small bets, he will be able to survive in gambling for a long time.

Betting big to win big is not a guarantee that one will achieve a big win. The most important aspect of gambling is the amount used, as there is a high possibility that one may lose. If it is not an amount one is prepared to part with, it can trigger a lot of negative emotions and cause attitudes that won't be profitable.

It is better to stake a small amount, one that can be afforded to lose; if this eventually results in a loss, it won't cause an overreaction like when gambling with a large sum of money just to win at all costs.

But the fact is that nowadays gamblers who are too greedy use all their money to bet and hope it will be a big profit, but in the end they will just lose all of it.
Management is really needed before gambling and knows where their limits are to bet so that there will be no regrets due to some losses that occur.

Seeing some gamblers around me, and they just play without rules,
they end up experiencing prolonged stress of losing all their money and even their valuables.

Do you and r_victory even bet at all? The important thing if you want to win big is not whether you bet big or small, it is the type of risk in the bet, the odds.

You can play red or black in roulette, so when you win you will win small or play a single number, so when you win you will win big. Besides, the amounts that are considered big or smal of game will depend on each one. But if you play 0.20 in slots, and win a jackpot of $100 you will have won big in relation to you, while someone who bets $1 in slots and wins $500 will have won big for him. Those who bet thousands for them can be a small starting bet an amount that for you is huge.

You are on the right track and I hope that you are not affected or do not care about the various criticisms that come to you, you must maintain that approach for your safety in the long run.

Another thing I believe what you said is true that a gambler will never stop even though they have gotten something they want such as successfully getting the victory they have targeted before, the reason is because usually the thought of "getting money this easy" will continue to encourage them to play again.

So actually the idea of ​​those who will stop after successfully achieving a number of targeted victories is just nonsense, a gambler will only be able to stop forever not because of their success in achieving victory but because of the bitter experience they have experienced, honestly I myself have experienced this incident. ;)

It's more about having fun rather than huge amounts. Small amounts too could give you fun and if you manage it right, it would last longer. Every People have their own idea and choices regarding gambling and there's no use of feeling inferior if you have small money to bet on or mostly play slots.

For most of the games, the house edge is near 2% so if you are playing strategically and with good analysis, the amount you would lose on an average is 2%. There are players winning large and losing large to maintain that percentage but if you are not playing bad, you'll ideally deviate to that line.

Good point, starting with small amounts of money can help you build confidence and it's better to play safe than to go all in. Personally, I prefer to stake low and aim high, gambling is a game of luck after all. Most people end up losing more because they always Chase high rewards by staking high but this could be detrimental if it goes sideways, it's better to always play stake what you can afford to lose.

this really reminds me of the book dostoyevsky wrote about gambling

I think the most talented gamblers end up knowing that there is a time to play, a time to stop, and a time to wait and just watch
this is one of the hardest things to learn in the art of gambling

what we must agree with is the fact that we can never win over the house, so with that in mind the next big thing to do as a gambler, is to not place money that we can not afford to lose in gambling, gambling should be bases on fun and not chasing the money or jackpot at any point, since doing so will only increase our risk, what we must know is that gambling outside anything fun is a total distraction to a gambler since he she will not have the real feelings from the gambling only increased risk that is what he will get

That is what we call a safe betting style. We may lose, but the amount couldn't hurt us. Unlike losing big, desperation will really be felt. Of course, responsible gambling comes with that way. It was not knowing where to bet but also knowing how much we could afford to bet.

That always manipulates our minds and makes us think that there are more winnings to come. And due to the excitement and greed, instead of withdrawing their money, many gamblers continue and increase their bets. This is one reason why most of us end up with nothing.

If we are to approach gambling the same way we approach going out with friends—sit out, drink, have fun spend some money without expecting anything in return—gambling will be more fun than it has ever been, as it will be certain that one won't place a bet with more than an amount that's considered to be spare money, and it won't also happen frequently. But nowadays it's quite the opposite for some gamblers, as they are more interested in how much the wagered amount can raise for them.

Exactly mate, if we a gambler you consider losing as part of gambling you might not gamble with what you can not afford to lose. Those who normally wager too much in gambler are likely to be those that gamble to make profits. However if such gamblers wagers and they lose, they will chase after their losses and it's obvious that chasing losses will bring more losses.

It is difficult but it must be done, personally when we play what we must do is first allocate our money willing to lose, and lastly what we have to do is that when we lose have the discipline and responsibility of not playing anymore, that is what must be done, and responsibility for me is correlated with discipline, they are two things that must go like that, otherwise trying something else becomes another strategy, which is also valid but what I say works for me.

It also depends on the person, I think. There are gamblers who have rather an easy way when comes to keep themselves disciplined and others who do not have that inherent control over themselves. In your case, you have managed to find a method (not to beat the casino and pocket money out of it in a constant and reliable manner) but rather you have found a system to keep yourself away from financial ruin due to gambling addiction and still be responsible enough to keep your family and children under a state of financial security, that is what any responsible parent is supposed to do.
Though, not all parents or adults in generals are raised the same and some of them were never talked about the dangers of irresponsible gambling or money management (saving or investing), so they wrongly assume casinos are somehow made for gamblers to score big, when it is completely the opposite, casinos and bookies being businesses...

If you don't want to have trouble later on, at the early stages of your gambling activities, you should already limit or know your boundaries and stick to it. Because if you will just do what you desire, definitely, you will have issues later on. Your actions will hunt you so much better to contain yourself and do your best to stick to your boundaries before you fall in the rabbit hole of gambling.

Yes you have heard it, and usually I call them experienced gamblers where experience makes them know when is the right time to start and when is the right time to go home or just time to watch.
I don't think it is difficult to learn but it seems like a gambler must first go through some painful phases that will teach them really valuable lessons, it doesn't mean it can't be done but it may take time to finally have the right approach to gambling.

If the gambler is aware of his boundaries he will be able to keep himself on the right track. I mean the gap between his income and his spending. His boundaries will not allow him to become addicted. He will always try to control himself from reaching the level of serious addiction. Adhering to boundaries is not easy for gamblers. If you cannot control his emotions you should not force yourself to go through all the trouble. You may be given a set of recommendations to control gambling but in order to actually adhere to them you should maintain a financial limit and a time limit.

It will take a person with a high level of self control and consciousness to achieve what you're saying because the truth is that majority of gamblers are always carried away by the euphoria of gambling so they always find themselves gambling and losing money when it comes to gambling, setting boundaries for a gambler is not easy to come by because it requires a high level of self control in achieving that which many people lack

everyone makes mistakes
the thing is to be alert to avoid expensive mistakes
if you manage your risk and cut big losses then all is left is

small losses
breakeven (let's consider this a small loss too)
small wins
big wins

if you cut losers the winners take care of themselves, have you heard that?

It's hard to say that just after a big win, I'll step away and will never be back of gambling. This has already been part of my routine and that's why if ever I win big, yes I might step away temporarily but I'll be back eventually. If I win some million dollars, I might stop for long term and that will lose my appetite in gambling and I will be no longer interested on it. But that's almost an impossible win that I am talking about. And those who have won a lot, I guess that they're still back in gambling just after a days or weeks of rest. I wouldn't call gambling as a 'never ending storm' just as what you've said in your title. But it's a way of life these days and it's up to us on how we'll take it seriously.

For me I have some level of indecisive in me most especially when I win some good amount of money, since it mostly involves a jackpot or at least upto 4.0 odds of my entire staked amount, if it on single game bet but for multiple games the odds will be much higher than that, but expecting to quit when I win a good amount of money is entirely a no no for me and I won't consider taking such step at least I play some amount from my winning before I take a break to enjoy my winnings.

You will not feel too bad when you staked with small amount that you can afford to lose, also when you gamble and you win some money, always make sure to withdraw it and spend the money on something that is meaningful to you because if you don't, you will end up regretting it later after you have lost the whole money back to the casino. Some people don't understand the unending storm of gambling because they feel they are winning but not realizing that the casino will still take back the money on a later day.

Ohhh, that's a very nice comparison. What you mean is to just "chill". I actually like that approach, and I might use it in the future, if you don't mind? I mean, there will be friends that I may want to advise, and I might use what you said to just chill while gambling. Have some fun, sit, drink, enjoy, then forget about it the next day, like being drunk on alcohol and waking up not remembering anything.

Truly, gambling must be treated that way. We cannot take it seriously because it will just lead to financial problems and worse, gambling addiction.

You are right and that is why I have always taught myself to take part of the profit if I manage to win even a little. Because I understand that if I continue, the casino will take it back from me, because it is designed to make money on people like us. Of course, there will be those who win so that it attracts even more players around the world and they tell and brag to each other about their victories. It is like additional advertising for the casino, but I do not want to tell my friends too much about it even if I am very lucky, because they will think that they can do it easily too, but luck cannot guarantee this, because it comes by chance.

Of course, this will be difficult to learn, especially if you have money then it will not be possible to just be a spectator, over time you will return to gambling because you feel you have enough capital to bet. If you are used to gambling, the thought of playing again always appears and you can't hold back wanting to place a bet, but it would be much better not to place a large bet at once so You can enjoy the game more

A gambler must be correct in managing his finances, he must keep himself under mature control. When a gambler has enough money in his hand, he will naturally feel more excited to gamble, but that time is the most important and the time for self-control. You have to keep yourself away from this kind of greed, you have to maintain self-control in any way. When you can stop yourself at the right time in gambling, only then you will win.

Well as long as gambling is concerned we can't talk of winning when we are not gambling and as such gamblers should be ready for two things which is either to win or lose.so talking about self control, the best self control any gambler can think of exercising is to invest only what they can afford to lose when gamblers obey this golden rule of gambling they are already winning but failure to obey this rule they are already planning to lose.

I laugh at you in your country language ;D. Have you asked yourself why you did not walk away when you were experiencing winning in the beginning of your gambling career?

It is simply because human beings have been programmed to want more than they have currently and such insatiable nature would still drive you to gamble more to try your luck with the intention of having more wins and furthering your profits.

You cannot walk away forever as long as you have gambled before, you may walk away for some time, which I agree, but you would definitely return one day and resume gambling.

I gamble but I am not addicted and at the same time I do not gamble only because I will quit gambling after winning a high amount. I gamble for enjoyment and if I am lucky, I will gain some extra funds.

So I do not have any plans to quit gambling after winning the jackpot. Moreover, none of us know when any of us will hit the jackpot, it could be that after 10 years of wagering, I hit a jackpot that will be equal to my 10 years of spending, Moreover, it could be that I have been gambling my whole life hoping for the jackpot but have not been able to win the jackpot. So why I would play with that intention I will leave gambling when I will win the high amount.

This rule seems easy but its always a bit difficult to follow. If indeed you are a gambler, you will understand what I'm saying. There are some times you will like see games you perceive to be a sure win and you will somehow place a bet you did not plan, a bit above your limits though but something you can still bear. This is why gamblers do feel bad sometimes because they went overboard. This is not a habit but something that happen even among experienced and disciplined gamblers.

If we think that gambling has no ending storm, I don't think there is anyone who is willing to take a risk. But I'd rather say that there are some bright days. Only we turn it dark because of our uncontrollable emotions, and instead of having some good times to enjoy our winning, we make it impossible due to our greed. If you think gambling is really about this. I'm supposed to say that you stop gambling in order to have peace of mind. Otherwise, you can't sleep thinking about the storm every day.

True and responsible gamblers will definitely be able to manage their time in gambling, even though they have money, they gamble without forcing themselves to bet too much. This is actually difficult to learn for those who are not yet able to gamble responsibly, but those who already have a good mindset will understand and be able to control themselves when to gamble and why to be silent and just watch.

Responsible gamblers will also gamble with money that they are prepared to lose, they gamble without having to use a lot of money because basically gambling is a matter of seeking peace and not a place to make a living. The most important thing in gambling is mindset, if the mindset is wrong then what OP said is true, gambling is a storm that will never end.

You have all the right to do your thing in such a way that you won't get affected, and yes you owe no one any explanation and you don't even need to give them a listening ear whenever they're saying anything regarding that aspect, as long as you're okay with the amount you're going with, I think that's what matters.



LoL, though I could imagine the feeling when a gambler experience series of loses, at this point they will be trying to win in all means, and after they most have succeeded in wining from gamble, yet they won't Walk away from gambling. Is advised for all gamblers to go with the intention of having fun and just hope that wining can come at anytime.

70% is the reality, there is still more number of people that wins though. The concept of Gambling is for people to win and lose, there is going to be a balance where people win and people lose but that's in the hands of the casino to decide. If a casino is launched and operate for 30 days and people failed to win or average in 30 days, many gamblers will leave the casino and wouldn't show up again, some would even go to the point to prove them to be scam. There are people that don't get caught by casino but the numbers are scarce and rare.

Till today, it's not like I don't want to play casino games or I don't want to learn, I don't feel comfortable playing something I don't know how the outcome is going to look like, I want my probability of getting my outcome be something I can guess, something I can think about and not something the casino can decide when I win and when I loss. I don't like something of such that's why I like anything sportsbook, I feel comfortable when I bet and it's not time consuming.

I completely support this attitude toward gambling. I share the same philosophy. If you look at betting as a way to make money, it turns into a very stressful job with no guaranteed success, since analysis doesn’t work well always. Maybe this approach suits some people. But it’s not a comfortable way to earn for me.

You can never win guaranteed by making predictions in gambling. However, many times when we win by making predictions due to luck, we think we are very clever and think that we can win by making predictions and we can do very good analysis. Everything happens through emotions. The more we can control our emotions, the more we can avoid gambling addiction. And we can maintain our attitude. Our attitude should be that we will spend money in gambling for fun and never for the purpose of income. Then we will get real fun from gambling. Otherwise, we will only get loss from gambling.

Seeing gambling as a way to make money is one of the biggest mistakes a gambler makes. Gambling is something that is made only for entertainment, and there is always a high chance of losing in gambling. There is not much use of skill in gambling, in the end, gambling depends only on luck. I don't know why people don't understand the right thing, or don't try to understand. But if you don't understand these main things, your financial situation can definitely be much worse.

I never take any risk which i cant afford in anything especialy gambling as well as trading. But many a times many a people take risk which seems there is no risk but there mught have a hidden risk or the risk which we may not think that is the risk but there is actualy risk.

If a gambler cannot calculate their risks and cannot control their greed during a gambling session, they will inevitably pay for it. Therefore, any gambler has only two options: either to gamble with restrictions, thereby reducing their emotional state, or to gamble without any control, but with the condition that they will have to pay for every mistake or wrong action. Each of us chooses what suits us best.

That's right and I believe that every risk taken will be worth it with the potential profit that is obtained so that someone must be braver in gambling but it is still in a mature calculation.

Greed is the most important point that destroys us, first we will experience interference with control which results in many mistakes that we will make so I think this is the only thing that must be controlled, the rest we will enjoy every game we play regardless of winning or losing but I am sure as long as someone is not greedy nothing will destroy it.

There is a problem with the way you are doing things. If you keep repeating this behavior, it is very likely that you won't be able to change course when you win big. You are creating a habit that is directly tied to your gambling, and the longer you keep this up the worse it is. That is why you see very few big winners stop when they are in such huge profit.

It is not just greed, it is also habits. This is why you must follow a strategy that you have consciously decided, track your money and never lose control. That is the only way to have a chance to be a winner.

Yeah, gambling MUST only be a means of entertainment. I know it's easier said than done but it's still fun for most of us, I believe. For me when I am watching a sports even, let's say NFL for example, betting on the game makes it ever so exciting for me and more fun to watch.

This is also the reason I don't have much fun playing games like dice because it's boring. I'd rather play slots despite having a low RTP compared to original games because they are more fun. I also suggest anyone gambling too much to take a small break like for a week because that helps a lot. When in the game, we don't realize when gambling turned into addiction and that break helps you reset mentality.

this reminds of me of the really good book by Jesse Livermore, reminiscences of a stock operator, have you read this one?
at some point in the book he goes broke and loses all he has
but then he doesn't want to start over from zero from the old sweat shops, flipping hundreds of dollars or low thousands, he find a way to build a big line again and swing a line on the hundreds of thousands which was his game already

Yep, that’s the thing that some of us can’t really understand. Imagine they’re feeding their ego just because they’re the real truge gamblers by spending a lot which is very not practical and unefficient. If you’re for the money and fun, be wise and strategic on betting, don’t go all in always and be mindful on spending money. They won’t understand those who bet small and I’m sure most of the time they keep shaming it but in reality, those who’re having fun and just risking small amount of money is the winners.

What you said makes sense. Many people think they're going to win and leave the game, but they almost always end up coming back, and that's when the casino wins. I think the hardest part isn't even winning money, but knowing how to stop at the right time.

Chasing after winning becomes like running for nothing in gambling after a while because every person knows deep down that there is no winning player, many people succumb to their greed and this is very common. It is best to look back at your mind and slow down and make sure of what you are doing.

When I have no expectations, I have always made a profit and I go back to have some fun, why not go back to betting and sometimes there are good sides to having fun.

It is not only even about stopping at the right time either, the gambler to continue in green numbers after a good victory on the casino is supposed to never gamble again  and enjoy the money they got from his final session in the best way which feels suitable for him, because it is obvious, it does not matter whether one wins a huge amount of money, if one plans to continue to deposit money into the same casino or even other cryptocurrency casinos.
That is why I have considered the idea of retiring comoletely from gambling if I ever hit a jackpot and can help to improve the quality of life of my family and those who I care about.

I know what you mean, and yes, I have also been through that, and it is as you say, despite having something well controlled, it is lost, and it is incredible, but in trading I am much more controlled and doing 1 minute trading I incredibly lost more money than I was willing to lose and that was something that got out of hand, I don't even know how to explain it, I only know that I got so involved in the trade that I wanted to achieve that I forgot the main thing, which was to take care of my money, I didn't lose everything, but I did lose a part that I shouldn't have lost.

This is why it's a cycle, the casinos need the gamblers and the gamblers needs the casinos lol...The only thing that can put the casinos out of business is if people stop gambling but that's something that cannot happen...it doesn't matter how many people decide to quit gambling today the percentage of those gambling would be high enough to keep the casino business running... people would always want to try their luck

It is a very appropriate and intelligent thought, I also think the same although I am a person who if he wants to continue playing he can do so, but yes, depositing the minimum and playing the minimum, do not think that because you have a lot of money you make very big bets because that is the first step to losing money and a lot of it, it does not matter how much, the money, even if it is a lot, is still spent and it ends.

I'm actually quite surprised by the number of people who still gamble in uncontrolled ways. Now that access to knowledge is available everywhere, someone can find out the truth about your chances in gambling after reading some articles or watching a few videos on youtube. One would expect that by now the situation would start to improve, plus there are many other forms of entertainment that are available all the time like Netlfix.

I think most of the gamblers don't really think deeply about it before starting
those who are serious about making money gambling should approach it as a business with accountability and keeping track of everything, usually ignoring the thrill and excitement
otherwise it'll be much harder to succeed

I could not agree with you that those who bet a small amount would be the winners and those who bet a high amount or a handsome amount would be the losers. Hence, anyone can be a loser. We can just try to avoid higher losses, and we may try to will as much as possible, but no one can know whether the person will be a winner and/or a loser.
