Bitcoin Forum

There are a lot of people posting here. In most of threads related to sportsbetting, most user just discuss about the match, how player performed, how they could perform etc but very few person discuss about odds, chances of winning a team and other factors related to bet.
Is it possible that most people only discuss here to fulfill their signature requirement? In my case, I don’t play games at casino. I used to play back in the day but not anymore while I'm still having sportsbet on most of the matches.
Be honest and share about you whether you post only for your signature requirement or you post because you are involved in gambling & you want to know or share knowledge.

You cant easily differentiate between those two but if you are experienced on a particular game and you do saw someone who post up which are obviously a bit off-topic already then you can presume that person
might not really have experienced nor doesnt play at all.

Not that surprising but if its a signature requirement then you can really expect those kind of responses whether they do gamble or not because frankly speaking answering out gambling discussion topics
does only need common sense for you to response.

Does it bother you? You can always ignore a certain users. Period.

When you talk about it, it depends. I am not a regular gambler, whenever I have some extra money it never hurts to try my luck. There have been times where I earned a lot from minor investments in gambling but at the same time I have even lost a lot. Therefore right now during the pandemic. I only have gambled like 5-6 times. I do gamble but not frequently. At the same time when you talk about gambling, it is indeed interesting, the amount of money you can make in second is something that I think shines for everyone. I remember once I doubled what I deposited and then just used it all up on weird things since it was more like easy money. I am not good with sports gambling since I do not get much time to sit and focus on sports on a regular basis but I would love to if I do get some time in the future. When you talk about posts for signature campaign requirements I do think one has to understand how it works, for mine you only need like 5 and it's easy to find interesting topics here to indulge in.

Just take a look at this discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5329868.msg57385590#msg57385590 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5329868.msg57385590#msg57385590)

I believe most people just discuss gambling to fulfill their signature requirement, sadly! I believe most of them don't even gamble, and some of them gamble with some small amounts, like with rains/faucets/giveaways... they would probably withdraw that too, but it's under minimum! :)


Well, if you just ignore the problem it won't go away! And it's a problem when you have people who just "talk about something they don't practice, and what they don't understand"! They usually (most of the time) just create spam and confusion!

Yes, ignore button is one of the options... another one is the "report" button, I guess!

Most of the time that would be the case.

I post on behalf of my paid signature and that's a huge fact but also seldomly gamble on the sites I trusted to play. I'm not a type of gambler that can do it daily or even weekly but bi-weekly and monthly (?), that will never miss. I believe as well that most of the posts here are just for compliance on signature campaigns.

I used the gamble a lot back in the day (Football match betting). I think at one point, I even had  a gambling addiction, but not anymore. These days I gamble but once in a while and just for fun. I don't want those dark days of addiction to come back, so I keep it controlled.

I am so much interested in Football and I even take time to watch and read news. That's why I discuss football related issues and only supports betting. You will never see me take about some casino games I don't know about.

If you see someone making shitposts, just report them to the mods, they will get removed.

Aside on posting with some typical common sense type of topics in gambling board specially talking about addiction and big wins etc. or something like that.

Honestly speaking, my campaign do requires 5 post in gambling board but i do post lots or way more than on this limit just because you do know several gambling games and
it cant be avoided for you to not response.

This is a forum on where you can freely post on where you do like to.

It's a very interesting topic and it's sad that transparent polls where we can see the reply of each participant don't exist here. But I hope people will be honest and will at least allow users really interested in the gambling matter to fulfill their ignore list with their names for the sake of the well-being of the section.
The gambling section has become a well known spammer haven and now even people who don't need to post in this section for their signature campaign come here to make their weekly contingents of posts or to get a good amount of gambling posts in their history to be chosen by BMs at their next campaigns.

Personally I'm a daily gambler.

I am a gambler but I don't gamble regularly. yes, there is a post requirement and it's easier to comply with it when you are gambling since you can share your honest opinion and experience. Maybe some are just posting according to requirements but I don't really judge it since I'm not a moderator and it's not my job to evaluate the value of their post if it's off-topic or not.

I believe you have participated in one of the gambling signature campaigns before, so I guess you can also share your experience as well.

Anyway, let's just give people the liberty to post what threads they like, a mega-thread does not automatically mean it's spam, it could be more people are interested in discussing the topic.

Yes i am a sports gambler and i will be placing bets for all the matches i watch and before placing the bet i look out for team news and injuries before placing the bet and here i will be posting what i spent time to study about the team and usually post which team i am picking before place my bet and why and almost all of the time if anyone is interested then i will follow up on that.

I do gamble a lot but because of its addiction which can have a severe effect on ones attitude towards handling of money, I decided to reduce the rate in which I gamble. Although what I do gamble most is sport especially football which is quite easy to predict and win even without a good football background or knowledge. I believe the major reasons why some people post here is to complete their signature posts which is most required by most gambling platforms. It's very wrong to exhibit this kind of lifestyle.

I'm a gambler for almost 2 decades, in and outside the cyber world. But for me, it's not a requirement to be a gambler in real life just to fulfill the user's signature requirement. What if they really have knowledge about the topic. If they follow the rules of the campaign properly, I don't see any problem with that.

The topic was subjective. If the users are doing great on their posting, we shouldn't bother to think if they are gamblers or not. Why should we care about their respective activity if, on the other hand, their response is healthy? They are free to share their knowledge about a certain game or sports, of course as long it was constructive.

We can determine if a certain posts are sh*t or not. Even back before, spam is the problem here in the community so even reporting the post isn't effective as others think, it somehow minimizes the problem. If we have complaints about the user, I'm sure their respective campaign manager is open to any concerns. Just give them a DM.

Yes, I'm a gambler, been playing on traditional based casino's for many years before I went into crypto. So now I'm betting on my favourite sports like NBA, tennis and boxing. Sometimes I post my winnings on the particular thread (not just to boast, but to show that I'm really bet into it), but there are times that I don't and tell that I won.

But I do agree that maybe there are posters here in this board that usually don't bet, but they know their sports though.

What is wrong when you're into discussion without placing a bet on the specific match in which few has placed a bet. To what extent will you discuss about the odds. Myself rarely used to participate on sports betting, means I'll spend only on games in which I've got clear data. Majority of my spendings were on casinos.

It doesn't mean you need to be a gambler to participate in a discussion and there are people who are better knowledgeable than us with the same game.

What's your point?
Do you think people who join a gambling signature campaign must spend most of their payment on the gambling site?
FYI, there is no requirement to spend your payment on the gambling site, no requirement to be a regular gambler on the site, and no prohibition to withdraw your payment. Check again the rules on the campaign rules!!!!

Remember this>>
What we did, is to promote the gambling site and work properly according to campaign rules.
Also, if the manager of the signature campaign finds out there are some participants not followed the rules, he surely will remove it.
You guys don't need to worry, each signature campaign has a manager, they regularly check the participants' posts.

When you earn weekly coins, they are more likely to bet every week too like the signature campaign participants. There are also occasional gamblers that when they have coins to bet, that's when they try to gamble. Sometimes when a user has less than $20 worth of BTC it's the time that they bet only one casino game like dice. I can say that its my behavior but in sports, they don't bet when the athletes are not popular.

Being a gambler doesn’t need you to post your gambling activities, especially if you want to keep it on private. There’s a lot of thread about matches and sports, you can see the odds there and of course just look at the gambling site you are playing with then you can see the odds you’re looking for. I’m not an active gambler, I play only during weekends and I’m happy with that. :)

What do you mean when you say we don't need to worry? You don't see any spam here? Only a blind man or someone in bad faith wouldn't see the huge amount of spam, OT and useless posts here. Most of posts don't talk about gambling at all and are really boring, usually repeating what it had already been said 20 or 30 times above.

See again what RapTarX posted on the thread above!
It's not about spam, lol  ::)

Well, I am surprised you care about spam, OT, or quality posts.
Don't you forget to ask yourself about it?  ::)

By the way, you should understand what I mean by "don't need to worry" there. But surely if you read it and try to understand.

It's a bit Out Off Topic to talk about "spam, OT, or low quality posts" here. If you want to discuss them more, create a thread on Meta.

This board has become more of a sports thread than a gambling thread. If you notice, most topics are on sports leagues, matches, and other related topics. There are also topics pertaining to casino games but most often the discussions would dwell on the games themselves rather than on their gambling aspects. And so one doesn't actually have to be a gambler to be able to join discussions. And I don't see any big deal with this.

There are people who used to gamble and is familiar with the topic or some are just avid fan of sports and open for discussion and opinion. It is not just this thread that is full of posts that is spammed to fulfill signature posts. Moderators can delete it and it can also be reported or just ignore.

I agree on some point, but it seems that there are gambling related signature campaigners who joined but literally has 0 knowledge and they will just post shit just to fulfill the requirements.

To answer the question, yes as I gambler, recently I went back to land base gambling again, playing my favorite slots games + roulette and some baccarat. And then I have crypto sports betting as well.

I'm a gambler, though I dont play often due to my other responsibilities that needs to prioritize first, my favorite games are dice and slots.

Even someone is not a gambler it doesnt mean you cant participate in a discussion (for not having your own experience) because some of us are keeping themselves updated on their favorite sports or games as a fan. The reason why they have knowledge on the particular game and able to answer questions and share their thoughts as well.

I don't really see the point of asking whether you post only for signature or not. the board is full of discussion that would barely need a sizable knowledge of the topic in order to share their opinion or what they know. I would most likely still post in a thread that I am interested in, even without a signature but I would probably post less than before.

to answer your question, Both, I guess. there are threads that interest me and give my opinion or if I can share what I know, I would share what I know about the topic. I do still gamble occasionally and only if I have enough funds to make a gambling session worthwhile.

Signature campaign didn't force anyone to gamble and they are not looking for the real gambler, they are looking for an active user here to promote the project so it doesn't require to become a real gambler. One of the requirement on signature campaign is to make post in gambling section, expect to see more users talking about gambling in general and that is fine.

There are gamblers that knows gambling in real life than online , that's why their familiarity does not like what we online gamblers usually knew but this doesnt mean they are just spamming for their signature banner.

But of course there are obvious account that added zero value in conversation and you can see they are forcing the post just to be part but knows nothing about the topic .

I know what you mean and you're not the only one who thinks that way. For me personally, I don't care whether they only post for signature campaign purposes or not because they can at least remind me to bet. Basically I am always enthusiastic about betting on every match but sometimes I miss them, and after reading and checking this gambling section at least there are posts that remind me to bet, and also many of them provide any information that I did not know before and in fact, some of them motivate me to bet even better. That way, at least you can judge me whether I am a gambler or not. :D

As long as you can understand their situation there is nothing wrong to engage with the topics on gambling board.  I myself rarely gamble now but as I've also experienced before what some members are going into this forum, I can share my knowledge with them and how to overcome it. Sports threads isn't a problem because sports enthusiast on a particular sports can share their thoughts there of an ongoing league or matches. Though sometimes, those topics are filled the 1st page of gambling discussion board like boxing, soccer, basketball match thread. It's hard to find a topic where many gamblers will relate to 1 issue.

I am the same as you OP, although I don't do sports bet a lot besides horse races so I don't have that much knowledge with odds. Maybe back in the day when I skip classes and play on illegal gambling houses poker and Chinese poker, I can say a 100% that I am a gambler.

Well, I wouldn't really deny that I post here for sig count, but it doesn't mean that I don't gamble. Have had a few experiences with Roobet and wolfbet before (when I had the time and money), I've also tried out Sportsbet but never really stuck into it and just left sports gambling to just simply watching matches that I like. I've recently had an interest in horse racing though it's still rather debatable even if I would actually try out gambling or just enjoy watching it.

Still, I enjoy discussing topics about strategies and the like, especially when it comes to games such as poker and blackjack. I've had my fair share of fun with them back in Highschool when me and my friends started to play and mess around with each other.

i am a gambler in both crypto and non crypto so i have some idea on what im talking but there would be some that are not into gambling and only post in the gambling section because they are in a sig campaign that requires some gambling related posts .
 there are threads in gambling that ask for specific questions and you will only reply on topic , thats why you dont see other details .

I believe 80% of people involved in gambling discussions, they have gambled on sports betting or casino on certain gambling sites, although, chances are they are aware and stop betting on gambling.

The signature factor is also the main thing that is required to post in the gambling section.

However, gambling is like driving, every day someone drives automatically someone's driving skills will improve, if you never drive at all someone will be confused where to start, what's more, new cars with technological facilitation are very stiff, if not used to.

Bottom line: a person is involved in gambling or not easy to judge.
• engage in gambling:
Someone when explaining about certain gambling makes sense and what he suggests fits the situation that occurs at certain betting or gambling sites, what's more, there are many new gambling sites nowadays.

• who are not involved in gambling:
Here you can see someone when talking about something betting/gambling is not connected, I don't know what they are talking about, sometimes I often ignore such posts, don't know if they ever bet on the site or not, etc.

It's easy to judge someone is involved in gambling or not, you can see from their talking about the gambling, serious or not, reasonable or not, understanding or not about the gambling site.

It's hard to comment on gambling section if you don't have experience on it or don't have any background so I believe most of the gambling signature campaign participants knows gambling, it's just that most of the topics here doesn't require you to talk about the odds so we cannot blame them.

That's the easiest thing to do, if you see a spammed comments about gambling and you think it's not ok then report it or ignore it, that's always our choice. Beside, gambling is easy to understand so I'm confident about the experience of most of those participants.

I mean there's nothing wrong with that, it's not like odds are the only thing that is required to talked about in gambling discussion if it was then probably we should've seen some campaigns have much less amounts of gambling post required since gambling discussions would be much stricter.

True! by the way you express yourself gamblers will identify your knowledge if you have experience or if you do have knowledge with

the types of gambling you are participating with, the flow of the discussions from those who understand the games are smooth sailing.,


There are lots of things to discuss aside from odds, some may share strategy and some are sharing  experienced within the platform that they are using,.
Readers are more focus with every sets of information that they wanted to learn, and maybe for some, they apply it from their regular gaming.

I agree with you, there is nothing wrong with people who are not gamblers making posts on this board as long as their posts are on-topic...

I only bet if my favorite teams compete and it has become a habit of mine, besides that my frequency of playing slots is not very often because I am not an addict. I personally believe that many non-gambling players make posts on this board just to fulfill their campaign but let's tolerate them.

I think everyone who answers in this board is a gambler, I mean not everyone can easily participate to the discussion if you have close to zero knowledge about gambling so probably they do have some knowledge that's why they participate in the discussion.

TBH, all of us here posting in gambling discussion thread is aiming to hit the requirements (though there are some who really loves gambling and a regular poster here), simply because it is a requirement, but that doesn't really matter as long as you know what you're posting and relate to whatever gambling activities you want. That's not a big deal.

When you advertise your signature, you want to be the most noticeable person in the discussion so everybody catches your attention and read your signature. So, when you discuss about sports betting or make predictions, game analysis, and other important matters in placing bets, people will notice you.
It doesn't really matter If you really gamble or just posting your analysis about a certain match up.
Being a gambler is not a requirement to post in gambling discussion thread.

Also, you cannot determine the odds without analysing the game and players first. So, it is expected that there were a lot of game analysis discussions first before discussing about the odds. Besides, there's nothing much to talk about the odds, because it is fixed there for a very specific reason that has been greatly discussed through game analysis thread.

I believe Saint-loup explained, it's hard not to see the huge amount of spam in some gambling related threads. It's not about spending all your money on gambling, let's be responsible gamblers... It's about comments that are totally useless, clearly written by someone who never gamble! And I just can't understand how can someone, without any knowledge and experience, participate in gambling discussions and be constructive?

Pretty sure not a lot of people would admit it because I don't think that it's going to be good for their image that they really aren't a gambler plus it's none of your business if they aren't a gambler and they are just completing their quota for their signature campaigns.

Exactly, no point being such a stickler for rules because it's not like they aren't breaking any rules or there's even a rule for it. Also, with a diverse discussion we can attract more people that have the same interest and try to share their own strategy.

I am a gambler in the past, but I am trying to reduce my time to gamble because I realize that does not give me a good thing instead of a loss of money. I do not want to become addicted person to gamble because that will be hard for me to solve the problem. I still gamble but not too often like before and just to fills my free time. Gamble or not, that will depend on ourselves. If we want to gamble, we can gamble without telling others. But if we have information that might be useful for others, we can share it with them to learn together what is necessary and what to avoid.

For obvious reason, those who wears signature are answering topics that they think they can relate to. However, if you are not gambling and you find a topic somehow you can relate to, I don't see any problems with that as long as the post is somehow on topic. Not all topics here are purely all about betting and gambling for example the effect of the pandemic to gambling industry or such, even of you are not a gambler you can add some input on it.

I am like you playing gambling just to fill my spare time and get entertainment, I am not obsessed with winning when playing gambling.
After all, the amount of money I will use to play gambling is limited, so when my money runs out, that means it's time for me to stop gambling.
Because in 2017 I played gambling almost every day, and I spent a lot of money playing gambling. I learned from my mistakes in the past,
for now I limit my money and time to play gambling. That way I can become a responsible gambler, because at least I can avoid gambling addiction.

You can never hide the fact that people here discuss because of their signature campaign requirements, but it's additional towards having great discussions for sure. You would know if the person is posting for posts and those who give effort towards what they are offering or posting here. Sometimes, you would notice the people who post even though they are not on the topic directly.

I know I'm a gambler because I take risks with most of the things I do because I know that you could only gain something if you risk something. You would need to adjust and change the risk management.

In my case I'm not a gambler, and I only post here from time to time. I charge extra for writing up to 15 posts in this section and last week I only wrote 1. However, I play poker regularly, and sometimes I have played casino games but I don't usually do it because they are EV-.

I only write if I find something relevant to say or share my experience as in this case, but it is noticeable that in this section many people post to meet requirements.

You're right, I've tried several online gambling sites using crypto, but it's only been a while. I'm not an expert or maybe I don't want to learn more. I tried it because I got free money as capital. At first I won but in the end my money was almost gone. Although the nominal is not large but I can double it up to 2 times that time. But actually it's just curious and for entertainment not as an addiction.

Haha I like that one! I frequently use a revolver with one bullet, spin the revolver drum and fire towards my aquarium. Am I a gambler? :P Just joking!

I am indeed a gambler, but not on a daily basis. I bet on games I find exciting and I do check the odds from to time. What I can say is that I only bet on stuff that I do watch, like very exciting tennis or soccer games.

Being in a signature campaign makes you more interested to participate in the forum discussion, but as a gambler, you will be able to still gamble even if you are not part of the signature campaign. Most of my earning will just go in gambling, so I would say I am a gambler and I uses my privilege to earn a little money that I could use in gambling.

Sometimes even if a user is not that interested he will still have to join gambling discussions if his signature requires him to. That is one reason why even if a signature campaign participant is not really a gambler, for as long as it is required that he has to make at least 5 posts in the gambling section he needs to participate in gambling discussions.

I am a gambler myself but the time and money I spent for it is minimal.

To be honest I stopped gambling a long time ago but I would be lying if I say that I am not posting here for my sig camp,
Let's just say that there are still some topics that somehow I find interesting to answer or sometimes I just wants to welcome some new gambling site or wants to talk about a certain topic about gambling.
It is all about the topic if I see some threads that I want to answer or participate then I would.

In principle, I don't see a problem with the fact that some signature campaigns require you to post in the gambling area. This ensures that the target group is actually reached, since someone who posts here most likely also plays or at least has played.

Personally, it was through signature campaigns that I started playing at all (back then through the Windice campaign) and I still play to this day. Although only for minimal amounts but it still makes me a lot of fun.

I was a gambler, and posting here in gambling discussion doesn't mean I only do it for my signature campaign but I do it because I want to share my opinion that might help someone to solve his problem regarding about gambling addiction and so on. I like posting here because I can relate to most of the threads here and some threads here are really interesting enough to join in the discussion.

It's all natural I guess to share our experiences and opinion to everyone of us here in this forum to grow and learn from people who are already experience what others don't experience yet.

I was a gambler 2 or 3 years ago but now I am not playing gamb because I have always been the loser. I rarely play Sports bets.

I am a gambler (I make sports bets), I can make soccer bets, a little basketball I say a little because it's hard to watch basketball games. I also like F1 but as I don't watch much I just follow the news so I avoid betting and posting on threads related to F1. in short, I post in the places that I know I understand about the subject or I do something that is being discussed. And no, I definitely don't post in these sections just because of the subscription campaign, I post because I like it. It's true that I had to reduce my gaming capital a lot because as the English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian leagues are stopped so I used the money to trade. i'm not someone who plays blackjack or slots games although i'm learning for fun purposes as well as sports betting for fun purposes

The question should be "do you write at the gambling section because of your signature" because writing here is not like a forced thing, I can write in anywhere else aside from gambling as well, I see this forum as the peak place for crypto social media and that is why we are here.

I have met with people I have been talking over telegram for over 4 years now, some of them goes as back as 8 years on bitcointalk (moved to telegram later) so not everyone is here writing specifically because there is a signature campaign. However if me writing makes me profit? That is even better! However the question about if we write in gambling section because signatures require or not are different questions, because I do see some people who are not very well versed in sports writing very basic stuff as well, very high quality "post" but the text itself looks very basic and shows how the writer doesn't know about the sport he just wrote about. So that could be true, I am not sure neither but only guessing.

I am actually worker here, wearing gambling signature doesnt mean he is a gambler, even if i am a gambler and i am willing to wear gambling signature, the campaign manager not necessarily have a slot for me to wear it too. And IMHO, if real gambler here will never wear any of signature mark except it will give him benefit on it.

I just play gambling for fun, chill up with friends, make laughs of us, gambling is not my way of life, too risky for me.

Well, not everyone is a sports gambler here! A majority of the crowd here are normal casino players like slot games. Also a good majority of them loves crash games. Personally I don't bet on sports but I am a big fan of crash games! So not everyone will talk about betting odds or leverages and other stuffs related to sports betting. A lot of us will roam in the gambling section to discover bonuses, news about casino websites, casino review websites and other stuffs related to gambling.

Definitely, with your life at risk, it's not that different when you are going all-in with all your money whether it's savings or actual assets like houses, cars, etc. You would end up dying or being the richest you have ever been. What would you decide?

I think there's always a negative connotation towards the word "gambler". It's always associated with the word addict and there's definitely a difference. Having discipline and knowing when to bet or quit takes quite a practice and with your experience, I think you are a casual gambler.

Before that I was not at all interested in gambling and I was just more active on other boards and after I saw the gambling boards it looked interesting and I tried gambling once and it made me addicted in the sense of not being addicted but I have tried a lot of gambling for other casino trials and the last thing I like the most is this sports betting for me EURO 2020 is the moment for me to win in this bet.

So indeed, not all of them have the same opinion, they always have different criteria, even some are slot lovers, etc.

As a long discussion here, I say the signature campaign is a bonus, not just a post chase, but the topic here is more exciting to discuss in gambling, even winning other big bets.

in this case maybe the signature requirement is the main reason for people posting on this thread, like me, even though I do gambling but I used to be more active in other threads than this thread, but even so I'm sure if many members post here is a gambler and here we can share experiences and knowledge in gambling, and the most interesting thing for me as a football fan is the thread that discusses football in this thread, because with the football discussion at least that way we don't miss out latest news from football.

I know that some of the slot lovers iron their laptops and PCs. So share your opinion / tactics and read others, this is a must in gambling

I only ever play dice, and dabble with some sports betting on the side. The bets that I'm taking are mostly not discussed in here, hence why I need a different forum or hub to discuss it there since I find the gambling discussion subforum as somewhat inadequate for the information that I need. I must agree that you rarely see odds being discussed here, though there are still some threads talking about why some fighters are underdogs and what makes their opponents the favorites, so I guess that counts—kinda.

There are actually some threads which are really worth to look at when making out some discussion about odds and other chances that might happen on a certain fight.Thing here is that
those discussions is been mixed up with generic replies which turns out to be not really that interesting anymore.

Back on topic if im a gambler, then kinda sort of but not on the sense that i do spent out tons of funds just for leisure time.There would be always a fixed allocation for that
and if i lost it all then its just fine if i won then continue. Most games i played is dice and crash and a mix of little slots gaming.

Short answer to your first point: ALL IN! :P

As for your second point, that is very true. If you say you are a gambler and you are talking to someone who doesn't gamble chances are high that that person thinks you have an addiction. Even if you play a round of poker for $10 every now and then you are a gambler but by far no addict.

Poor guy kawetsriyanto what those 2 BS neutral feed backs have to do with the topic please? I could also post a picture of your merit history and of your 6 merits earned since march 2021 if I was as small as you... Thanks to me you just increased your amount by 1/6th BTW :P
It seems you get hurt by the conversation, and you feel concerned ...  ::) So are you a spammer posting garbage messages here to just fulfill your campaign requirements?
In this case I understand you feel anxious because several people have already been tagged as spammers here and put in the spammer blacklist. I hope for you you won't be the next one. :-\
The topic is about people who don't care of gambling while posting in the gambling section so I don't understand why you are panicking like that but I'm not sure you would be more happy if I would open a topic on the matter in the Meta section... Anyway you don't need to tell me where I have to post.  

It's possible and a lot of posters are talking nonsense because they just want to write something that is enough for their signature. I have not seen many guys who actually want to engage in the ongoing discussion and give some kind of valuable input. But that said, there are some really good discussions and it's worth reading them at times.

I gamble on almost all the sports and even esports like dota2 and LoL so I love talking about it. Ofc signature campaign requirements should be on one's mind but even then one can contribute if they actually gamble and share some information about it.

Most of the gamblers here talk about soccer, nba, nfl, cricket, baseball and tennis which is good but I hope more people become interested in esports because right now the community doesn't have many who bet on esports.

I thought this was a gambling discussion board. What's wrong with discussing about the sportsbooks, performance and the games? You will know when someone is bullshitting by just reading what he wrote. As long as its not off topic, I don't see anything wrong. And I have seen threads about people discussing about odds. So I am not sure where you got this from. I don't post here because I don't gamble much. I only post when someone is looking for a good casino recommendation.

That makes sense, no one would publicly admit that they make baseless posts for their quota of signature campaigns and yeah not that it should bother anyone because we have a ignore button below every profile so if you find someone is irritating, report his/her posts and if they still continue to post garbage, just ignore the user and move on.

As long as the moderators don't delete the posts they are not breaking the rules and nothing can be done. The best solution is to mute such members and soon you will have only quality posters whose comments you will read. Personally, I don't mind if someone is making comments to fulfill their signature campaign quota as long as they are not spamming. After all, this is the most active section of the forum.

Everyone in life is a gambler one way or another. Some of us like taking more risks while others tend to keep caution in the wind. Everyone looking at this topic is a gambler though. The gambling discussion board is the place where we all come to complain about us losing money.


I think the cryptocurrency gambling websites are better off than the ones that use fiat based payments because there is a community which discusses how each gambling site can improve and usually the ones opening cryptocurrency based gambling websites are not loaded to the teeth with money and will actually listen to their customers.

I post here as I want to gamble with that money which I can consider 'affordable to lose'. Not free, but I know that when I have extra money available on hands, why should I be forced by somebody to give him money and if I don't, then that guy shouts about my gambling habits to everyone?

I'm a gambler, even much addicted to others here but what if I'm not a gambler but I have knowledge on it even compare to the real gambler, am I allowed to post here? :)

Being an actual gambler or not, we should not limit those users who want to post here whether they wear a signature or not and requiring a gambling post weekly. There's a Reputation section for that if there's a complaint on specific users that are just trolling here in the section. Their managers are also watching their post or if they missed it, you can just reach them so that the user involved will have a warning.

And I only see campaigns that have gambling section requirements was being handled by good managers. It means those users pass the eligibility that's why managers accept them. Unlike in the bounty section where you can expect that participants will likely spam the boards.

I would not class myself as a gambler as such, but I do make bets from time to time. I do not know if that makes sense for others, but as far as I know a gambler is someone who is adept at gambling and does it in a regular basis, so I would not say that you are a gambler if you play a little from time to time. Anyway, we are all gamblers in life since we take many decisions even everyday without knowing exactly the result, which you may argue it is making a bet on the future. Perhaps I am a life-gambler.

Never thought of it that way, tbh. IMO there are a lot of discussions related to odds, details of certain games strategies, bets, with thousands of replies in this thread. I come here to read and discuss both technical (e.g. trust issues, bets, and so on) and more socio philosophical points related to gambling.
I am a gambler myself, not a frequent one and I don't wage huge money, but I enjoy some games for fun once in a while, like poker, slots, crash.

I also don't see a problem with this because the site being promoted in the first place is a gambling site. It is therefore just logical that the signature should be noticeable on the gambling section.


But you were already active in gambling discussions? If not, lucky for you to have gotten hired despite not having any prior gambling experience. A lot of gambling signature campaigns require that participants be already active on gambling discussions even before applying for a slot.

If you play gambling, you are a gambler. But we are gambling with our life, so we are a gambler too.

Maybe some member played gambling in the past and he has a lot of experience before and wants to give his method or anything that might still work for the other member. We are playing gambling for many reasons, and I think we have members who play gambling every day, weeks, or only play if he has money. I do not play gambling too much time like other members because I do not have good luck.

This board doesn't just cover gamblers alone it's a discussion board for sports lovers and gamblers alike although it's more centered on gambling that doesn'tesn one can't express his view about a certain match played or his experience from a particular tornament. Gambling is a business you don't jump into it one needs to understand the risk involved and how to select odds in other to partake or risking his earnings

Probably a ride or die move. Something like that lol.

Well, that's just it, you wouldn't know what someone is going through as well and unless you observe it or admits it. Oh well, just control your urges and have control over what you are doing. Especially emotions.

So you think life is a gamble? I laughed a little at this. Life is a choice, we can predict with common sense when we are adults. I think it is very far to compare life with gambling activities. If you believe in the creator of the world then you must believe our path is already set but we can try to change that path by trying. Unlike gambling, we guess and we just surrender to the final result.

That would be very important to me as a company commissioning a signature campaign, too, honestly.

If you actively advertise a product and are paid very well for it, you should also be able to identify with the product. Some time ago, a screenshot was circulating here where a user explained that he doesn't like gambling at all, but at the same time wore a gambling signature. Of course, something like that should absolutely not happen, it's like me wearing a McDonalds shirt and telling on the street how harmful fast food is ...

I consider myself a gambler but not very much into sports betting I prefer playing dice, hi-lo slot,  crash games, and similar games that are ruled by luck and control, the only advice that I can give to newbies and fellow gamblers are reminders to only play what you can afford to lose and to allocate spare times and not all of your time because this can leads to gambling addiction, anything you do with a big amount of time will become addiction and gambling is a serious addiction.

People could engage in gambling but might find it difficult to discuss about it. And most gamblers prefer discussing the match alongside the performance of the sports athletes or players other than the outcome of their bet. Some prefer to discuss their winnings by sharing what the got from their predictions so different persons react to gambling discussion thread differently because life now exist more online than in physical interaction

That's right, but with that difference it also makes it easier for me to get any information that I don't know about here. So, regardless of whether they are just sharing information or just discussing without having a bet, I don't think it will be a problem because after all, having this gambling discussion can at least help them to consider whether to bet or not At least that's how I feel so far, when someone talks about a gambling game or a sports match that I didn't know before, but after I got that information it could be a consideration for me to try betting or not.

I play gambling but not very often because at today's pace of life free time that can be spent on entertainment remains less and less. If a person learns to count his free time in man-hours, he can easily calculate the real cost of entertainment. And very often it turns out that a favorite game is too expensive.

I mean isn't it? Heck, the moment you can already say that that was a result of a gamble. Not about parents making children or whatnot, but rather the situation your family was in when you were born. Also creator of the world? Set path? Kinda bs since you're already contradicting yourself. The path was already set and yet you "can" try to change it? Then there was originally no path in the first place, it was just you blaming a probably non-existent being for whatever situations that happened that wasn't your fault.

Still happened though ;D. Well, nothing we can do about that, advertisements are that kind of type, after all, even if you don't really like them, you still gotta do it since it pays you. A McDonald's shirt certainly doesn't pay you, so I don't really think it matters much when compared to advertising.

I think that it will be more to the personal opinions and also choices.
I am also pretty sure that some of them are not real gamblers, but only focusing on making posts in order to meet certain criteria.
however, some of those also feel the difference, whether they may be interested in the certain platforms of gambling because of this requirement to post in gambling.
However, does it matter if we are making good posts and not belong to shitposters with this kind of condition?
I think that as long as the posts are not spamming or even shitposting, it is no problem.
And moreover, we don't know whether somebody may not change after knowing this kind of simple thing.

I always post my bets so i'm somewhat involved in gambling and at the same time have some discussion whenever there's nothing to bet on. I don't think there's anything wrong about having gambling discussions with other users that haven't gamble since it's not a requirement and you can experience the same thing now that some of the casinos offer free coins or demo mode.

I guess one example of what OP meant is the NBA thread where there's less betting discussion I remember there's a discussion about it in Meta.

I am genuinely visiting this section because there are some good fellow members who share their own strategy and it is good learning every day. Earlier I used to hate slots but after watching some of the users sharing their bets and luck, I am quite addicted to slots, not in the wrong way though. I am well in control of my gambling.

If you see the Wimbledon thread people have shared some cool information there about which player is doing better since not all of us can follow the whole Wimbledon so we get roughly an idea which player is playing how. I play casino games and make sports bet too so it's good that both kinds of gamblers are here.

There was a bet shared here some days ago where someone won million dollars with just $15 parlay, was insane and I am trying my luck on parlays since I saw that lol.

You are right here so I don't understand how it became an issue wherein a user that joined a signature campaign with a gambling requirement should also be a gambler in real life.

I've read somewhere that how can be a user can make constructive posts on the gambling section if they don't gamble in real life. Seriously???

In the past I was a gambler, now I play from time to time and this is sports betting. If I want to play dice, then the best option is to use a simulator instead of playing for real money - it's interesting for me to try strategies and not naively believe in winning  :)
But in general, gambling is interesting for me and I read some topics here with great curiosity.

Sharing your experienced that may help others is not bad, it ain't focused with certain information but a wide discussions to tackle things out,

Personal experienced and all the things that you wanted to share that you think are helpful for other readers is more than welcome, it's not necessary about tricks and strategy but also some ways to prevent addictions or how did you managed to lessen your gambling activities.

It will help other people to realized that there are other things aside from possible winnings and losses.

You are truly an arrogant person and never try to understand what people state.
I am sure you are not a so stupid person who doesn't understand what I mean. Or what I guess is wrong?  :P
It is not about neutral trust or red trust, but what people wrote on the feedbacks.

About my merits history, what's wrong with earning fewer merits? Not every post should be meritable, I also didn't post just for merits. Even you have 1462 merits, doesn't mean your posts are better than mine.

OMG. What for these shit posts???
From these comments, it is clear who is offended or gets hurt by the conversation. lol

By the way, if you think I am a spammer, just tell actmyname or report to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4440941.0.

*It is funny to see a comment from a shitposter trying to blame me!!   :D :D

---

*An arrogant person like you never learn the truth and won't see a good thing from others. It's a shame to see a legendary member commented like this.

I will stop to reply to your comment here. You never try to understand my comments and ignore your mistake. All of this is starting to be OOT, so there is no need to continue it. If you still want to debate with me, you can create a thread on Meta and tag my name there.

If your posting requirement is posting in a specific section of the forum then you should post with a substance and do not spam, even if you are not actively playing in gambling but you are required to post in the gambling section, your post should not be considered spamming, and should be within the topic, you can ask or share your experience in gambling but do not spam.

I am not a serious gambler but I can say that I have an idea about gambling. I mean i used to play cards but no money involved. And it so happened that i'm one of the people who were here at gambling section not just a professional gambler or a well-skilled but some kind of person who has a personal experienced about it and this is what I am sharing here, my personal insights and personal experienced which i am also trying to relate in a topic where i am posting.

You will never spam the thread if you will only choose which topic to comment , it is not about to post here and everywhere but to post where you understand and familiar about which thread tackled .

and also it is not about how long the post is but how valuable and understandable the post you delivered .

It is not an issue indeed, everyone is free to decide where to post and what to discuss without having to be something related to the topic of the discussion.   No one is required to be a gambler to join signature campaign of a gambling project, the most important thing is that we should know what we are talking about. Being a gambler while joining signture campaign of gambling project is just a side benefit since the posts/comments will be mostly based on real experiences.

everyone knows life is a gamble but that's not what the OP meant
clearly, the OP is questioning whether the person who made the post on this board is a gambler or just to fulfill the requirements of the campaign that he participating in

I'm sure that there are also many non-gamblers who make posts on this board, they only read sports news and try to be an analyst!
back to me, since school, my hobby is soccer betting and lottery, until now I still do it. Gambling has become another side of me, and it's impossible for me to leave it

My current signature campaign does not require me to post in the gambling section but I love posting in the gambling section to share my experience and to participate in discussion on my favorite gambling site and gambling technique and methods, I used to be part of a gambling campaign after that campaign I always make it a point to drop here to participate in the discussion.

how do you know it ? not all times your going have badluck and the only way to know is to play gambling but in gambling  badlucks are welcome too  but what important is that you enjoy every session you make .
if there are hindrance that can avoid us playing a gambling that is if we are busy .

I don't bet on sports betting honestly if a particular match especially in boxing interest me and I have a friend who is willing to bet against I prefer to do it with my offline friends, there's excitement in doing this, and on commenting for signature campaign requirement I really play on some gambling sites here but mostly on pure luck betting like slot and dice.

I believe there's a tremendous difference between virgins who talk about sex and real men who did it. Most of the time, opinions from those virgins are garbage, hypothetical, and have little value in the real world if it's 100% about gambling world. However, on this gambling board we often find threads about sports, so they are still relevant (if they have the knowledge about the sports).

If the question is about renting your signature to casinos, but you are not a gambler or pro-gambling. Well, that just makes you a hypocrite and a whore. You know it's wrong, but you sell your body for money. I don't have a problem with these people if they can post constructively and not post like a virgin.

I don't play gambling very often but I have an idea about casino gambling. However, I enjoy engaging in different topics here about gambling since I was able to learn while sharing my knowledge at the same time. It will be beneficial since it's part of the signature campaign that I joined and I'm also learning more with every discussion that I'm engaging here.

If those people can feel get help by that, they will think twice and maybe they will set a limit in gambling and not try to break it for themselves. Getting much information about tricks, strategy or even stories will give them more knowledge about gambling. At least, we can help those who want to try gambling to know what they need to do and what they need to avoid.

Thank you for making my point bro : as a non gambler you're not able to post constructive posts in this section.
I don't care of your merit history and I would never talk about it if you haven't freely attacked me for your shitpost quotas. I just wonder how a so low merited member who doesn't even gamble has been able to join a campaign paid 75$ per week for a gambling site.
Anyway I'm an optimistic person and I'm sure you will start very soon to gamble on the gambling site you're promoting or elsewhere in order to be able to share your experience about gambling and to post relevant and constructive messages here, you don't need to gamble thousands of dollars per week for that. With only few bucks you could already begin to understand how several things work. :)

I was born a gambler.  

As a child, I did not play cars and toy soldiers.  I took dice out of board game boxes and played dice.  

Then he became interested in poker.  I was presented with a deck of playing cards depicting members of the royal house of the Romanovs.  

Then he began to play slot machines (one-armed bandits).  My parents gave me money for school meals.  I lost them playing slot machines.  

Then I started playing roulette.  This is my favorite game of chance.  

Now I play at an online casino.

The same goes for me. I gamble from time to time, especially if I came across a good online casino that I discovered through combing through the topics here to reach my posts quota required in signature campaign. Right now, I am enjoying doing both. I am learning and having every possible experience I could take.

But at least there are a lot of people out there who are active in gambling but are not interested in discussing it and that has also happened to me in the past. But to be honest, when I don't discuss the gambling that I've experienced then it doesn't make me grow either and after many threads here discussing whatever gambling they play, at least I know more about gambling itself from the game, strategy, etc. But by the way, it would be better to have experience first to share the ideas you have, because only with the gambling experience you have then it will also be good for the ideas you present at least to be more accurate.

If the deep since childhood has known the game of gambling slots, poker, roulette, etc. a little impressive maybe for you.

My parents strictly forbid gambling from all their children and I am one of those who are into gambling but I always hide to do this not even my own family knows because I know this game can be destructive in my opinion.

But I'm glad it's all under control so I'm no longer overplayed and I know what to do with time constrained.

Does that mean that anyone who is not a gambler but they promote a gambling site at signature is just embarrassing themselves here?
It may be true that there are some participant in a gambling site's signature campaign but they are not gamblers who should post on the gambling board. But I'm sure they are not people who hate gambling but just want to spend their money on profitable thing such as trading or others. It doesn't matter if they're not gamblers, but they don't need to talk nonsense about gambling they never actually play. As long as it's still a constructive post, then I think they're fine.

If you discuss how a team and which players are doing the most is that not what helps you to determine the potential of a team winning.... besides discussing odds doesn't give you an insight of the performance of a team,instead playing the odds will get you into the bookies traps and you will lose money!


I think most actually do just not addicts as most might think.
For starters you don't have to be always gambling,  give your self time off the screen,  as the saying goes" winners know when to stop" so basically only gamble when you are in the right mindset.

As far as I know it's most likely that if you talk about sports or casinos in a know how position, chances are high that someone does gamble but this shouldn't be a public announcement to the whole world...just my 2cents

I suppose that most gamblers discuss their games in one way or another. I remember how almost 20 years ago I went into a bookmaker's office and flocks of bettors constantly hung around it discussing their bets and strategies among themselves. Now, when you just need to turn on your phone or computer to find an interlocutor, communication has become even easier.

This reply can be coming late but I just want to share my own experience. It is true and I have thought of it before, people keep mostly and constantly discussing about players but I still noticed some still discuss about a club that will win in match. You are not wrong about your opinion because discussing the club to win is not frequent while also betting is not limited to the clubs that will win. There are only betting type in sportbooks like both team score, over/under 2.5 and many more. I will like to engage in such discussion on this forum. Also what will interest me are online matches.

I don't understand why people often ignore my "not-or" statement, hmm maybe I've been using it wrong?

It's fine if you are not a gambler, but at least neutral about gambling industry (pro would be better).

My point is if you oppose gambling you will find it difficult to post constructively, as you want the industry to be destroyed.

Just my guess ;D
But I do not have good luck in gambling in the past so I think it will be better for me not to play gambling too often. I prefer to make myself busy so I can avoid thinking about gambling and if I want to play gambling, that will be easy for me. But at that time, I only want to gamble because I have free time.

I like coming back here in the gambling discussion even if there is no posting requirement that I post here in the gambling section I just want to get updated on the boxing matches which I always participated in the discussion and also on a discussion about the gambling habit, I'm not into sports betting and I seldom participate on this kind of topics.

For me, I would be more interested to participate in a topic if I bet on a certain game or fight. I'm a sports bettor but I don't consistently gamble and since we talk about a certain topic in a "gambling discussion" board, I believe learning how to gamble is a basic requirement to have a productive conversation.

From my end, I gambling occasional when it come to casino game but I gambling almost every week on sport bet especially football, boxing and tennis. However, I don't join the discussion on here to learn how to gamble cause it something that can be learn just by doing some few research online but I do learn some knowledge through some posts in this discussion board sometime.

That's for sure, but I don't think everyone does that. Expertise, knowledge, skills are also the main factors for writing on a topic. We know that making positive posts takes time to think. In relation to gambling, yes I am not a gambling maniac but I sometimes gamble for fun. Like score prediction, poker is all I intend for entertainment.

I think there is a difference between sports betting addiction and casino gambling addiction. It is certainly easy to become addicted to both of these types of gambling, but it all depends on the frequency of gambling and the stakes we are playing at. If someone is playing for money that should actually be spent on supporting the family, this is unfortunately a signal that he has a problem. I think everybody who plays every now and then should take a month off to see if he can hold on for that long.

Learning can be from anywhere, it is not a must to learn from the gambling section of this forum. There are many sources we can get by searching online. As long as it is a valid source, we can read and learn anything about gambling there. However, it is good if we want to share experiences and opinions through the discussion in the gambling section. Some members may take knowledge or some lessons from others' experience and it is probably useful for them in the future.

Any kind of learning is good as long as it is learning legal things.

---

When it comes to writing posts, I write them mainly from my own experience. I prefer to spend a lot more time reading than writing posts, but I certainly don't do it just to meet the conditions of a signature campaign.
I believe that if I can add something of value to the discussion and it can help someone in some way, why not ?! It costs me nothing.

You can spot a gambler by merely reading his post I think.

Gamblers usually discuss betting odds and the possibility of winning before putting their money on the teams/players they have selected, if it is not present on one's post then I think he is only here to fulfill his/her signature requirements.

I saw somebody that said you can two things to those who are here in this gambling thread to fulfill their signature thread needs, one is to ignore them (which is fine by me) and the other he said he guess is to Report the user. Did you just read that, "Report" the user. I want to know if the owner of this thread made a specific rule telling users of this gambling thread, not to do their signature campaign thingy here even if it is required by casino's and online gambling sites who hire people to advertise their business in this forum, in the form of their signatures? That is a freaking mouthful if you ask me. Or maybe this is a phishing attempt to see which user plays what game, how long were they playing. I mean I don't really care if I already said what I am playing on other threads but information right now can be sold and user ids in this forum has names behind it. This is decentralized space just like cryptocurrency. No one rules and certainly no one should meddle with how signature campaign users talk in this thread. If they know gambling, betting, and all the shenanigans in between then that is totally fine. If they sound idiotic then for one the signature campaign participant should be researching or playing the game before commenting.  

Basically most of the people posting in the gambling section are the real gamblers. They post in the gambling Ann's and discuss the pros and cons of the gambling casino site. If a person does not play at the particular casino, how can he discuss in details about the features of the site ? There may be few people who post only to complete the signature campaign requirements if that particular campaign wants the majority of the posts to be in the gambling section.

And if you are going to ask me, certainly 95% of the signature campaign peeps here knows what they are talking about. If he does not have any experience to gamble, to bet, to play games of chance, then I don't think he or she will be spending 100% of their time here. Also, I don't believe there is a know it all here that can possibly know all of the topics that are being talked about here. There are persons who knows poker, who knows cockfighting, who knows football betting, who knows the world of esports, and so on and so forth. Pick your thread and be comfortable talking about the topic.

Me too, although there are some that I don't completely participate like Football discussions although I read the thread dutifully to learn along the way, I am a gambler but I really don't think there's anything wrong if you aren't one and you are participating in the discussion because you learn along the way.

How do you play just the dice? I mean there shouldn't be any fun rolling dice on the floor with no motive. I thought real dice were useless out of the board game. Would love to know more about how you had fun with the mere dices.

In case you play at the casino in your signature, there are some really cool events going on last time I checked, so might want to take part in them :).

On the topics, I don't think being a gambler has much to do about what you post on the thread that is gambling centric because I rather see some meaningful discussion than a gambler who lost money crying out loud and creating various scam threads against the casino, just because the martingale didn't work for him.

How could you say 95% of members know what they are talking about with such amount of spam here? I don't understand. Do you read sometimes the posts of other members in the threads before posting? Have you read this thread before posting for example? I don't think so because you would observe there are far less than 95% of members claiming to be real gamblers or even really being interested in the gambling matter instead...

Are you aware of the forum rules?
You are not free to comment or to post whatever you think on whatever topic here. You have to post relevant, useful and interesting answers on the topic. Otherwise you're spamming and shitposting.
So why would you want to post about gambling things if you are not interested by them?

and if you are truly interested in some thing you can do it your own though there is no wrong from asking some pointers because there are expert or experienced gamblers here that can give you what you are looking for.
and besides that is why we have this forum , for the sake of Helping each other , from posting questions and giving answers.
this is a forum created for everything that relates to the interest of each other, there are many areas that discuss things but this section is literally for gambling and gamblers.

I do not know why, I do not gamble playing casinos, I remembered when I was introduced to Russia roulette, I lost all through the week, maybe this psychologically gave me the impression of losing. I have preferred sport betting and most preferably football betting, maybe because I am able to analyse before staking on football matches, but anything can go wrong though because betting is risky. I do not gamble often, just few times in a month, mostly on weekends.

I don't think is relevant to quote the entire discussion... to be honest, I tried to read it twice, and I am still not sure that I understand what iTradeChips wants to say... but in one thing I am sure, he definitely didn't check this topic... and that's not a big deal, sometimes we (I include myself) wish to say something from our own experience, and we don't pay too much attention to all others. But when you are adding stats and numbers it's different! You need to do some research, to check those stats and numbers before you post anything!

In my opinion, more than 50% of people who post in the gambling section don't gamble! Half of those people know something about gambling, have some experience probably... but the other half is a disaster!

Some people of course just to fulfill their signature requirement and some people are interested about sports since there's no section here about sports discussion only gambling discussion so you can't really tell which users are into gambling, sports or fulfilling their signature but no matter what I think if they are participating to discussion and not spamming there's no problem to it.

In my case, I'm a gambler and sometimes I get information here in the gambling section and at the same time fulfilling my duty to the signature campaign where I'm currently enrolled to.

I believe that the reason for that is simply because any sports betting person is usually a person who likes the sport at the same time. For example, I gamble most for NBA games and I also love them as well, as a person who lives on the wrong side of timezone, that means sometimes I watch games at 2 am or 3 am and by the way games do not end like for 2 hours most of the time, which means there are days when I went to sleep at 6 am in the morning just because I watched a game.

This is why I think it is quite understandable people talk about the players and the teams and so forth not because they do not like gambling part, but because they also love the game itself as well and like to talk about it. Like who is the best player actively playing right now has nothing to do with gambling, but it is understandable for someone who loves the sport they are betting on to talk about.

Almost hundreds of slot games I have tried on various gambling platforms to find the right luck, sometimes I believe this method can be lucky when playing it even slots when you are lucky you can get a bigger multiplier, and behind all of that it is defeat but I am reasonable because it is a risk Being a gambler because casino is one of those challenging games, but I don't do that often.

Every sports bet will indeed be liked a lot even today I have placed a bet for the Copa America here I get a better advantage than other games so I will continue to try to keep playing the game.

Discussions on this gambling board will find lessons about real gambling, I like that.

You can even find many posts about prediction in ANN thread of a Casino/SportsBook. Yeah 90% are discussing about the match, player, score, statistic etc without discussing about what is called by gambling but I think it is common thing as long as the post is not out of the topic.


Do you really need to ask about it? I believe it is a well known secret already since few years back.

That discussion is already part of the gambling discussion, why I say that? because if we gamble we look at the stats and analyze before putting a bet, anyone that shares his bet or pick without stating the stats as a basis is gambling blindly.


No, his question is "only discuss here" just to fulfill the requirement, I believe it's not true as there are still some who joined the discussion even not wearing a signature on their profile.

Yeah, learning is something that can happen anywhere and newbie gamblers can learn from experienced gamblers of this forum but I'm a kind of person that don't believe in imitation and om the course of that I like to do more research online and combine what I have learn on the forum to be an outstanding gamblers.
Meanwhile, I think you notice that 95% of all the people who claim to be a gambler on this forum are not and the information passed by such people shouldn't be trusted.


It is natural to have the impression of losing when playing at a casino due to past experience but there are some casino games which win based on luck while there are some which win based on knowledge, you just need to know the one that's best for you before playing casino games. Meanwhile, sport betting is a game of analysis and I like it because knowledge counts mostly in it.

Yes, I'm a gambler but not daily gambling like been doing by the other people like doing it most of their time I'm just a gambler when I want to seek some fun and no matter if I win or lose because the end entertainment is the most prioritization why playing gambling.

Signature campaigns help the user to find a different platform to play with currently I'm enjoying playing the VIP system my campaign also being addicted in esports betting to support my team gives a good impact to me because at the same time I enjoy and I earned.

I’m an occasional gambler where I can only play if I have extra money and I’m also part of a gambling signature campaign which I believe I didn’t violate any rules for being not active in gambling.

Gambling is not just about the odds, it can also discuss about your experiences, the game that you love and the sports that you are supporting. This is no exclusively a discussion about the odds and the possible result of your bets, this is about speculations, and experiences.

For me personally, I'm not a gambling addict, to be honest not too related of signature requirement, on the other side I'm just looking at how online gambling has developed so far in crypto, and sometimes I do have a lot of curiosity about the kinds of gambling online, this is like a gap when I am bored by reading many other topics.

I consider myself as not even though I have my fair shares of gambling moments where I maxed out my wallet. I just play occasionally when I have some extra money or sometimes when I get bored. I consider it as gambling for fun with hopes of winning. I'm not that into gambling so I do not consider myself as a gambler. But I do gamble with life.  :D

Some people are posting here because they want to fulfill there weekly post count but I think thinking only in this direction is not correct, there are some users that I checked most board they post while seeing gambling board most, even more than bitcoin boards, this kind of people are just passionate about gambling and they see everything about gambling as pleasure including posting on gambling board. There are also some users that did not even wear the signature and/or avatar and yet posting on gambling board.

I fully understand that entertainment or fun is the main motive behind gambling but I don't understand how can one have fun during losing sessions. I mean yes I don't gamble to make money but obviously, you cannot enjoy it when you are losing. In fact, when I bet on sports and my team or player loses, I often times stop watching the game itself. For example, if I bet on Djokovic to win 1st set and he loses, I won't watch the whole match in frustration of losing the bet. Not because I am addicted but I am upset, simple.

Yeah and unfortunately some sections have become garbage because of spamming but thankfully this section still has some good interested and like-minded gamblers who are actually interested in talking than just completing their quota.

I'm not required to post in the gambling section for the signature campaign, nor am I an avid gambler, thus, I may not frequently post around here. However, I started micro-gambling after creating a thread here, to receive recommendations on which websites I could use, I'm not sure if I was in a campaign then, but it doesn't really matter.

I avoid sport betting, thus, you won't see me posting in one, firstly, because I have no idea about sports, and secondly, I've no idea about how bets work etc.

Maybe yes and no, because even if you are just playing for fun but then at least you have money and time management in gambling and for me that is still part of the gambler but not the addict. But yeah, I guess there's no problem about that whether you're a gambler or not, because the most important thing is to keep having fun from what you're playing and being able to share your experiences here I think that's enough and you don't need to be an addict to have experience.

If I am a gambler? I'll say No but, I gamble a few times.
You know, the word or name 'gambler' seems to carry a hefty addiction about it that, I feel not just anyone, not because they gamble a few times on a phenomenal bases are qualified to be called a gambler. Some of us just gamble when and if we have to. On this counts, I guess the name or word gambler doesn't apply.

Gambling in itself isn't a bad thing or much of a menace as most persons in the society might consider or look at it but, the intentions for which one gambles is what could make the measure difference. So, while we gamble, we've got to put our heads down, our minds straight and gamble responsibly.

You call yourself a gambler if you embrace what you are doing, it doesn't need you to be addicted to calling yourself a gambler. Just have fun, consider yourself a gambler and you'll enjoy gambling because you know the risk and you know how to discipline yourself.

Also, being a gambler makes it easy for you to share your experience, give suggestions or advice and that will be useful for the forum.

Consider it as your contribution.

In general, people who play gambling are gamblers, even though playing gambling is not routine. Actually, it's not something to debate whether
we are gamblers or not, because the most important thing is that we are not addicted to gambling. Because if we get addicted to gambling it can
ruin our lives, playing gambling should be as entertainment. So play if there is extra money and can stop if we have experienced a large enough loss.
Don't let us think we can catch up with the losses we experience when playing gambling, this can initially make us addicted.

Maybe it will be okay if we are a gambler because as long as we can control ourselves and not use more money for any reason, we do not have to worry about becoming addicted. But be careful because if we feel we enjoy playing the game, we can tempt to use more money without realizing that we will have a chance to become addicted to gambling if that happens for a long time. We must prevent that by always taking care of ourselves in gambling games and always stopping gambling as soon as possible.

Everyone has a choice and I think you are wise to gamble or not. What I think is that you should not become a gambling addict. It can drain everything you have. Be a smart gambler, have good money and risk management. If you have had that experience, I think it will make you even better. I've also done gambling but it's just for fun, and I'm not addicted.

Every few years I get the urge to try my skills at online poker, it usually starts off well with a small deposit - sometimes getting it to 5-10x after many hours of grinding. At that point I feel burned out and usually give back a few big pots, cash out and accept that eventually the sharks out there who have statistically mastered the game will eventually get the better of you. Besides that I have done some "matched betting" which involved risk free bets to unlock cash from welcome bonuses, made a few hundred from that. Now I just stick to the free bets weekly and some daily games that offer small wins - sometimes dropping tiny bets on long shots if I think the odds are decent.

People oftentimes makes mistake on what is a gambler is, some like that guy really think addiction and gambler is the same, which is not, or he doesn't really like to be called a gambler because he or she might be called addicted to gambling,

In my opinion, the are many kinds of gamblers but I am just tackling two

Seasonal gamblers or casual gamblers - I think this type will just play in moderation and this type of gambler doesn't have the desire to win but to just spend quality time with friends while playing a fun game on a casino,

Compulsive gamblers - well this is a disorder that may lead to a person's addiction towards gambling, but they often don't admit that they have addicted to it this kind of gambler doesn't want to stop gambling Chasing the loses that they attain, Compulsive gambling needs professional attention.

Only noobs and losers say that, I'm sorry but if you gamble without having the desire to win, you're not a gambler you're just a customer buying a pleasant moment from a casino. But I think it's a little bit sad to promote a casino in his signature while having such negative thoughts about gambling and casinos. If you don't know how to gamble you should learn, you will find out that you can be a regular gambler without being mentally ill or needing to consult a "professional" as you said. Strangely we never read this kind of words about trading here while it's exactly the same activity at the end.

Being negative on gambling would not do good for the gambling industry and anyone who does have that kind of thought should not promote a gambling site or a casino in his signature as it's contracting to his belief. It's alright to talk about the negative side of gambling, and that is gambling addiction, awareness is very important but it doesn't mean we should hate gambling or avoid gambling to avoid addiction, in the end, it's still ourselves that we should control and if the time comes we know how to control ourselves, we will surely enjoy gambling. again.

In my opinion, you should see difference between the fact that someone takes part in a promotional campaign and what that person does on a daily basis. Of course, when it comes to promotional campaigns related to casinos, someone who does it should know about it. However, do you think that a good marketer should deal with only one field, or should he be able to arrange marketing plans in many (many, many) areas?

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with us being gamblers, as long as we can be responsible gamblers. As you have explained, we really have to know
the limits when playing gambling, don't let it be because we enjoy playing gambling too much, then can excessively gamble. Because it started
to become addicted to gambling, most gamblers are addicted because they don't realize it. They think by playing gambling all the time and not
disturbing others, it will be fine. The fact that it can make a gambler's life start to mess up, because people who are addicted to gambling will
definitely interfere with daily activities. Be a responsible gambler by limiting the time to play gambling, and also limit the money that will be used
for gambling, so that we can avoid gambling addiction.

Avoiding gambling addiction is a must, but many people become addicted to gambling in the long term because they do not realize it. While they are at home and have internet access, a gambler will have much time to browse the internet and try to play online gambling. If they do not have another thing that can make them busy, they will busy in the gambling games and slowly, it will start to disturb their lives. If we can become responsible gamblers, we can avoid gambling addiction, and even we can play and stop gambling anytime because we know that playing gambling is just fills our free time.

This section does not require anything , you can be a Gambler or you can be observer .

as long as you are delivering valuable post either asking questions or answering someone who ask about your idea and belief that is enough.

You don't need to be a big time gambler to be here as long as you understand the topic and knows what you are saying.

Well said, in gambling discussion, you can share your experience, make recommendations, and ask for guidance, so even if you are not a gambler but you are willing to learn, then you are welcome and you'll definitely learn. That is the kind of values we should promote as we are in a forum to help each other, not to compete.

I don't really think I am saying negative things about gambling but the facts about it, I am just stating two kinds of a gambler because all in all casual and compulsive is what I think needs an introduction, I know I am a  gambler I just play in moderation sometimes when there are sportsbooks that I like, and when it comes to casinos I often play when I only have free bets, But you can say that I surely want to win in gambling, but I am explaining types of gambling that doesn't have the desire to win or just enjoying the bonds with his friends, but I am not including myself to them, because I gamble just to win and earn,

I can say that I can control my playtime and often stay away from gambling when needed, and you are right I am promoting gambling and wearing the signature of stake.com but I am also promoting responsible gambling and always be responsible with your money if you don't have extra money don't make bets at all, always put gambling to the last of what you're going to do, and as I have said always have a responsibility not only to gambling but on your own decision, I surely respect what you are saying and you are right on the part that we can be a regular gambler without being addicted to it.

The problem with the current pandemic situation is forcing most people to stay at home, and for people who are used to playing gambling.
So the entertainment options they can do by playing online gambling, if left in the long term can indeed cause addiction. I agree with you
we need to look for other positive activities, so that we can be busy and can prevent excessive gambling. Right now I try to keep myself busy
by exercising and reading a lot of books, so I limit my gambling time to every weekend only.

But that has been said , the casino Houses now are backin business though limited people are allowed to enter and play yet gamblers can back on their feet and play back again with ambiance and with positive outlook.
not like when the closure is indeed in progress that players can only play online or in illegal meet ups in friends houses to sustain their gambling activity with life interactions .

Actually, this pandemic gives that gambler privilege to play online gambling, especially for those who try to make money from gambling. But the problem is how they can manage their time not playing gambling all day long because they should remember that we need to be more active and search for other jobs that can help us make money. Hopefully, we always remember that we need that money and need to get new jobs and always prevent the addiction that can come to us anytime.

Those players who wanted to play online could easily do so even before the pandemic, because online casinos appeared long before the pandemic. The pandemic only attracted newcomers who were forced to spend their time looking for ways to have fun without leaving home.

Yes this is right and this business had been already on a while and they had just increased out their player count as this pandemic hits because people are mostly spending their time online and to those gamblers then they don't have any options but to deal with online thing since physical gambling places is closed due to pandemic but since those businesses are started up to open their doors
then we can see those normal operations and statistics in terms of users in between places.

Im not a hardcore gambler where I do only spent an allocated amount which is simply an extra out of my monthly salary.Im trying out to spend as minimal as I can and for the sake

of  entertainment and leisure then those amounts allocated its just really that sufficient for my needs.

That is exactly what this section means mate , though OP has a high concern about the run of discussion in this area of forum yet if you are not satisfied in a post given then you can directly report to Moderator and let them decide if the said post is valuable or nonsense at all.
because they are the one who will evaluate every single post given here. Sometimes we think that the post is not worth a read but in other perspective this is Valuable , so lets just share the forum with worth a read post than just an obvious posting requirement for weekly basis.

I used to accompany my brother in physical casinos pre-covid but he eventually stopped due to this online setting.

I also tried gambling (via dota2lounge.com skins) and lost tremendous amounts of money from 50/50 betting. Whenever there are discussions about gambling and addiction, I try to relate and have a meaningful discussion since I relatively have experience on such field. I also witnessed my brother winning/losing large amounts of cash in a single night due to his greediness and lack of self-discipline in his ventures.

Yes, online casinos appeared long before the pandemic but at that time, crypto online gambling is not too popular as these two years, especially when the pandemic starts in every country. So when the government asks their citizen to stay at home and work from home, those people will have more time to do many things, including playing gambling. That makes almost every online things become popular and online gambling gets more visitors because people come to their website because of the advertisement everywhere.

People who make money from gambling are not many and most of them came into this field long before the pandemic. The pandemic only contributed to the outflow of players from gambling houses to online casinos and of course attracted newcomers who were forced to find new entertainment.

I agree with you.

They have skills and much experience in gambling and often playing gambling in their daily lives and I guess many of them are playing gambling in the physical casino. So they will surely have a chance to win than the most people but sometimes, those people also getting lost like the other. The pandemic moves the gambler's ways from the physical casinos into online casinos. Yes, that attracts more people to try online casinos to test their luck on the online casino.

I agree.

You don't need to be a total gambler to be able to share knowledge and express your opinion, sometimes watching and analyzing stuff is enough to express or explain what you want to a certain topic, because the only importance is you're promoting your signature by wearing it and posting to the right section, that's why it's in the general rules.

I believe it is good for people who normally went to casinos but could play at the online places which would be the ideal situation for these people. I am not saying that pandemic is the reason why online casinos became bigger, but let's face it, even people who gambled online ended up gambling even more, that results with something bigger for casinos.

Long story short it is still better, I have talked with 2 owners of casinos here and I know that people are literally gambling more and they both said their wagering amount in the casino increased by twice nearly. That is why I think pandemic did cause the casinos to have a lot more people gambling there but also even the same people who gambled less ended up increasing the wager amount they used to have, that is the real reason, even the people who wagered a bit ended up gambling a lot more.

I don't think that the information about the doubling of the stakes of two players from the forum somehow reflects the real statistics. Don't forget that many people lost their jobs because of the pandemic and have to subsist on welfare, if they are entitled to it of course. Many families around the world have lost their breadwinners as the virus hits the lungs of adults and the elderly harder. So this is a very controversial issue.

Yea!
I've always liked to gamble, and I already have been addicted to dice gambling.

Currently, I bet almost exclusively on sports games and was doing this before my campaign started to require posts on this tab.
I like football a lot, much more about the European championships than the Brazilian ones (where I live), so betting on them and commenting on it here on the forum is something that I like.

But I agree with you that there must be enough people who only comment here to fulfill the campaign's requirements.

From all gambling activities, I'm only in poker and in sport betting (only football betting and only when i know teams, championships and so on). I like to talk about interesting topics, which is related not only to poker or betting, but yeah, i think a half of posts here is for signature.
There not so much topics about poker  :'(

Being realistic, not everyone can be a gambler if we take the meaning of this word seriously. To be a gambler you need to have money to spend in decent amounts in a daily, weekly or monthly basis. And as i observe, most people looking to earn through signature campaigns are people who are looking for extra income to fulfill their daily needs. How could these people give themselves the luxury of being gamblers? That is simple impossible, because the first rule in gambling is just play with money you can afford to lose.

So no, most members here aren't gamblers. And although these negative sentence is already enough for some people come wielding their torches and pitchforks, I think there is nothing wrong about this fact, since to be a gambler isn't a requirement to join signature campaigns or even to like discussing the subject inside or outside this forum.

As it was said in the beginning of the thread by another user: forum members have always the option to block someone they don't like reading the content of what they write. It's a pretty simple solution for a pretty simple issue.

^ Probably there are a lot of poker topics and it won't bring a good discussion, same as you, I also love to hear discussion about poker which is I am good at this kind of game. But poker discussion is not necessary because there is no update on this game not like betting and other sports games there could be matches that we need to discuss. For me, it is hard to join a gambling discussion for the sake of your signature campaign, you must experience playing and gamble and then you have an experience there is probably a chance you will not be off-topic and make an awkward post pretending you are that gambling games.

problem gambling is harmful to psychological and physical health. People who live with this addiction may experience depression, migraine, distress, intestinal disorders, and other anxiety-related problems. As with other addictions, the consequences of gambling can lead to feelings of despondency and helplessness. for this reason people try to avoid gambling , it is not necessary to gambling, some gamblors gambling just for fun because of negatives of gambling always

If you're gambling, it doesn't mean that you're a bad person. It doesn't make you less of a person and it doesn't decrease your morale as a person. As long as you're doing the right thing without hurting anyone or abusing it, then there's nothing wrong with it. Gambling will only become wrong if you're abusing it. We should keep in mind that it was originally made for entertainment so we have to be wise and never exceed the limit.

Intestinal disorder ? well that's maybe the problem of a gambler that comes Viral recently as He did not afford to leave the gambling premises to discharge His Poop? and do it inside the perimeter lol.

I think that spending one or two nights a week (as I usually understand this is a weekend) is not an evidence that you are a gambler at all. Any active player in online games (chess, rpg, rts) spends time at the computer in a much tougher mode. As for your friends, of course they are gamblers, but most of all I wonder where they get enough money to play every day.

I believe you are describing a professional gambler and not a regular gambler. Because you are already a gambler if you gamble in any casino and risk money on it.

As there source of money, Definitely they have savings or a source of income like business or a financial sustain from his/her family that's why some player can play all night long without worrying there bank roll.

Yes, just like me, I only gamble on the weekends after Monday to Friday work and make time for fun to relieve the fatigue during work.
and I only play poker even though sometimes I play other gambling but my gambling time runs out to play poker and play casually, and there is also my friend who bets every day and why does he always have capital to continue playing from the winnings he gets to play capital again despite receiving more defeats and not a few games played and there is always a chance to win but runs out again.

None here is an expert to discuss things on either crypto currencies or gambling or etc when they just newly jump into this forum. New things are learnt here and everyone becomes familiar to the topic they discuss and then make a try to practice what they discuss all about. I am not a gambler but when things are discussed in forum, one is attracted towards to make a first try. Once he/she becomes an experienced, its chosen to be their profession as they move on. Signature campaign obviously expects their participants to discuss on gambling. They do not just pick only gamblers to discuss on gambling topics to promote them right?

Well, gambling every day can indeed be done by continuing to use the money obtained from the profits obtained from gambling itself. Therefore, I personally make an initial deposit to continue gambling because it is impossible for me to immediately make a withdrawal on the same day and because of that, making a deposit with money that is ready to lose in the end it can be used and continue to spin in gambling. At least that's what I do because I personally don't have a fixed time to bet, I bet on sports basically every day there are many sports being played and at that time if I am interested in betting then I will do it without having to make a deposit again. As long as there is still a balance that can be used, then I will continue to use it until I reach the target I set for myself to finally make a withdrawal.

If you ask me then I'll answer I do for both, but I am not a sports bettor, I prefer Casino.
I like to share my experiences with the members in this forum about my gameplay in Casino and also get lots of suggestions on what games are more interesting to play.

Hmmm...
Do you have any crypto?
If so, then you are risking certain money every day - the course can change dramatically in an unpleasant direction for you. So you are a gambler, right? Or we can even give another reasoning - by entering the mall you run the risk of making an optional purchase. This is a risk. Risk of some kind of money, and I think it is regular. It turns out that every visitor to the mall is a gambler?

legit i vouch royc as i have seen some of his bet slips and strats . whether we play on casino or sports,  both of them will give us a title of gambler.
i think i have been in a campaign before that is not related to gambling but i have been posting here in this boards .
 i feel that i can relate more in discussions happening here and i also want to expand my gambling knowledge.

Damn, where did you see it? :D

A Gambler or not, everyone is free to post in the Gambling section, but must have insight and know what topics are being discussed.
It would be annoying to see someone post about gambling based on their imagination.

I got interested in betting before I even registered on this forum... So I'm not just doing it for the signature rules, but also for fun... But I think a lot of people here have started betting after participating in signature campaigns!

Same as me :D I Started Betting on Crypto Gambling Sites Even 2 Years Before Registering in This Forum, I Played on Crypto Gambling Sites That Accept Many Types Of Crypto Like BC and Stake, But Lately I Often Play On Rollbit, I Hope In The Future They Will Accept More Types Crypto

I've certainly become much more reasonable with betting but with Euro2020 I placed probably at least one bet per round with almost over 150$ wagered and less than 200$ profit. I gamble for fun but I have to make sure not to get into heavy habits because it's very easy to get caught into a gambling addiction.

Some of us learn to gamble first before we discover the forum, and it's a good thing because we improve from gambling using fiat to gambling using crypto, and that helps the growth of crypto. Learning how to gamble is actually not hard if you are a risk-taker, that's the basic requirement, if you don't have that kind of attitude, then just don't bother.

Yes. to be frank, I like to restart gambling after going through all these discussion. When you discuss over and over on few things, you tend to either completely fall into it or love to make a try to it. I remember, I once was lucky enough to win some btc on a betting site in 2017. I gained bit in the beginning but later, obviously lost much. There I stopped as the fund I had became empty.

When emotion do sets in then this is where do problem do begins because people would intendly to make out decisions to continue on what theyre doing since they do know that they can make money

so it do end up on having that motive on here you do continue to play and outcomes and results would be mostly the same which is majority would really be losing.
Gambling is for entertainment but majority of people are taking way too far and making it as a source of income? its suicide.

I am a gambler but not happy that I am one.I started gambling before I joined this forum,but really wants to stop gambling,because it has eaten me up,I Mean I have turned to an addict in gambling.Some people gamble for fun as they say,but when I started gambling,I took it as a means of income,and that was where I got it all wrong,because I continued gambling just to make money and at the end,I will lose.If I can do anything possible to make me stop gambling now,I won't hesitate to do it.

What do you do in your everyday life? You have a job? It may be worth increasing your zeal there or in some kind of competitive sport so that you simply do not have the energy and time for gambling. I noticed that if I am very busy with something, it is much easier to forget about some kind of addiction, but when I am idle, it is impossible to avoid thinking about something undesirable.

You realized that you are an addicted gambler and you know that it is wrong but you do not know how to deal with your addiction?
I think you need to find some help, you can start to talk to someone close to you like your own family.
Or you can ask someone you trust to hold your money so you will not be able to use it for gambling.
Anyway where do you usually gamble as I have never seen similar username like yours in some casinos where I usually play?

If you have serious problem, don't ask for advice from the internet. Try to get professional help who has the experience in dealing with this situation. Our suggestion may be somewhat valuable, but it's only based on our personal experience.

As @panjul07 said (and it works for me as well), you can try to transfer your monetary control to your spouse, or someone you trust. If you don't have the money, you can't gamble. It is as simple as that.

In the past it could be said that my time was only spent gambling even though I had a regular job, but somehow my days were always filled with gambling. Until finally I got a lot of losses until I decided to stop and unfortunately it didn't last long, because then I got to know online gambling which of course is very fun until now.

I guess most of the population here shares the same story.

Cryptocurrency just popped up in 2009 and then years after years, it evolves and expand, gambling sites using cryptocurrency is one of that. People started and already knew gambling even cryptocurrency gambling sites before existed, so technically we are not really playing gambling just because of our signature campaign but because it's our own choice.

Offline and online casinos are the same when it comes to the outcome of every gamblers, most of the time, you will lose. The worst case scenario is that you'll become broke if you'll not control how much you'll bet.

You have experience with gambling but I guess you should better learn how to stop gambling. Otherwise, you will regret it in the future, especially when your gambling addiction becomes bigger. I believe you can end your addiction because you have a will to stop gambling. Maybe you can share your problem with others around you so they can give advice on what you should do. I am sure you can stop gambling because I see that you really want to stop gamble.

What a turned around for you  ;D after losing a  lots of money what comes first inside your mind is to completely stop and forget
this activities, but along the way when you already settled that regret eventually you'll be back and play again. ::)

Not new to myself, as I also experienced that kind of huge losses though that happened long ago but the amount is something that
will linger to your ear, something that reminds you how you made a mistake like that. :(

But moving forward, here again betting with some spare and enjoying if the pick is right  ;D :P

Gambling as an addiction is a substitute for something else that is missing in your life. Strong social relationships, a hobby, sports that make you better looking and feeling. If you set a goal like losing weight or whatever, try to shift your time into pursuing that goal.

I've seen an interesting documentary where they researched all kinds of addictions over a longer period of time, and in almost 100% of the cases the addiction (whatever type) was a substitute for something those people wished for but felt they couldn't have. Social relations often help, hang out with ambitious friends who aren't fucked up themselves or are depressed. Even cut social relations that depress you. There are a lot of things one can do to improve life.

I can assume that the lockdown influenced your behavior. Many people, being deprived of the opportunity to lead their usual way of life, acquire some kind of bad habit, which is then difficult to get rid of. Maybe for a start you should replace one addiction with another - a gym or another online game but without risking money?

And it may become more difficult to control once the decision to stop gambling fail to be sustained once one begin to be interested in returning. I was talking about myself and I was only able to stop for 3 month before I finally started to get interested in gambling again regardless of the reason. Many gamblers may not have strong principles because they can change at any time as long as there is money, opportunity, free time and desire.

I think in situations like that most people experience it after a long time entering and playing in the gambling industry then thinking about quitting, and after a long time of stopping finally playing again.
and I personally experience it because I still like to see and open up gambling situations that can lead to temptation and end up playing again and other reasons as long as we are involved in this industry it can't be separated from gambling that makes us want to play again, and I think as long as I don't waste time me to gamble every day and play my gambling very rarely, I think it's still normal.

Gambling wasnt abnormal in the first place because this is an activity which is  part of leisure or entertainment which its normal for people to get involved into as long you are responsible on controlling your finances then i dont see anything wrong with it, it is just people do really take it too much or go beyond borders.

You would definitely get addicted if you do already compromise both your finances and also your time but if not then you are still doing good and shouldnt be worried.

Play responsibly and dont spent out money which is intended for daily expense or living  and you're good to go.

The surest way to change your attitude towards gambling is to have plastic surgery on your face.  Ironically, facial plastic surgery will cure your gambling addiction. 

A professor of psychology told me about this. 

How can it be?  It is so simple! 

Our face is our personality.  By changing our face, we are changing our personality. 

However, plastic surgery is a very cardinal tool for personal growth. 

You can do otherwise.  Buy glasses without diopters and wear them all the time.  Glasses change your face a lot.  You can dye your hair green or red.  Place braces on your teeth. 

The main principle is that by changing your appearance, you can get rid of bad habits.

Gambling is always fun because we are a gambler, but losing money that is already beyond our limit, gambling is not fun anymore, it's already called addiction as we urge ourselves to gamble to win and enjoy without considering the risk of doing it. We should be smart, not everything in this life that we like is always good for us, if we are building problem already, we should stop while it's not big enough yet.

This is sad to read but you can overcome it, many people have done before you and you can be one of them as well, the key is to ask for professional help as they have a lot of experience dealing with people with the same problem, this requires the hardest step that any one that is going through this has to take, which is to recognize they have a problem and they need to overcome it, but once you do you will feel liberated and you will be free to get back to your previous life once you go through the necessary treatment.

Yes. But judging by what he says, he has real problems with addiction and he cannot get rid of it, even though he perfectly understands the harmfulness of such behavior. To be honest, when I find out about such cases, I start to fear for myself - what if I become addicted? Usually I start to limit myself even more after that.

Self realization would be enough imho and wont really be needing any professional  help but if you do find that its already hard to overcome for yourself then this is the time you do seek out
for some back up if you are really dont able to quit out.

Gambling is for entertainment but people do really turn out to be addicted because they are aiming on something which isnt possible which is to continue to win which is impossible.

Gambler is a player but when addiction hits you then this is the time where you do really face up some serious problems.

I have been addicted until not very long ago.However I have passed it all,no problems for me whatsoever now.How I passed is easy,I just started doing other things after work rather than gambling,like going out for a run,learning a new skill or technology and things like this.Now I have come to a point where I can play when I want and I can stay for months without playing if I feel like it.What I want to say is that all depend on our self at how good we can handle situations like this.

Everything will end up to this,

If you have that will to stop, there are many ways to use your time and energy, instead of focusing with your gambling activities you can divert

your attentions to other things, and with the way you wrote up it's a good example of working with your self determination and not to engaged
that much again, no one can really help aside from your own passions to stop,.

You are lucky that you have such a character and temperament and such a mental state.  However, there are quite a few of these people who cannot simply switch to other activities.  And for them this is a problem, sometimes even a very serious one.  And not only for them, but also for their relatives and friends.  Such a person can completely exclude me from society.  And here you cannot do without treatment by psychologists, and even by a psychiatrist.  Unfortunately, such "crazy" players are becoming more and more due to the development of, first of all, Internet gaming sites.

You really are a strong person if you were able to get rid of gambling addiction but unfortunately, many can not do it. Maybe you can advise where to start for those players who have fallen into this trap and can't get out of it on their own?

I am not that strong but I have become one after my daughter was born in March 2020 in the middle of the pandemic.I knew that if I kept gambling I would destroy my family and everything and I thought about her,my daughter.I thought to myself I want to give her a better life than I have had so far (although I have had a really good one until now).This was my motivation and by being able to not play for several months then gambling was not an addiction anymore,so they have to think what they value the most and start from there and interlace with some passions they may have,there is no real other way out of this.

I don't know about you man, but if you feel gambling will ruin your life, then you should stop. I also have children but it never came into my mind to stop gambling because I know I can handle my finances, provide the needs of my family while gambling.

Congratulations on ending your addiction to gambling. I agree that if we want to end ourselves from gambling, we need to make ourselves busy by doing other things. He can do other things after the job to block his mind not to think about gambling. That really helps him and I think that can also work for other people who want to stop gambling and maybe they will have a different method to solve the addiction.

If everyone could have the same mindset and strategy just to get rid of gambling addiction, I'm sure that more people would be able to manage their finances right while enjoying gambling at the same time. It might sound hard for others but it's just a matter of self-control. Focusing on other things that you would enjoy would be a better idea.

I am sure that many players have tried to overcome their addiction by replacing their time spent in the casino with other activities, but not all of it helped. I personally have never had a gambling addiction and I know very well what self-control is, but an addicted gambler has a poorly developed sense of it. So I wonder how he learned self-control if he didn't have it before.

Yes I'm a gambler but I don't gamble that much but I consider myself a gambler due the numbers of bets i've been made in a week and the amount I spend every week and also I was posting in gambling discussion because of my signature but of course looking for a new gambling website or news or discussion about related to the sports i'm interested to.

It's a good experience and it's cool that you were able to get rid of the addiction/bad habit yourself. I had a similar experience and changing occupations is a key decision to change myself - sports and, for example, doing business help best in this. Together, these two activities can drain you completely and you won't even think about gambling.

I think everyone has the potential to become a gambler and people generally tend to overestimate their ability to correctly calculate odds (or understand the context). I used to play some online poker but quickly realized that you are mainly playing with sharks because most little fish quickly empty their bankroll and abandon the game, you have to imagine that it will be true of any game of skill. It's the same with sports betting really, the bookmakers are constantly evolving and working with masses of useful historic information so it is extremely tough to be them - although their are some gamblers out there who profit from pricing discrepancies.

With our work, the main thing is to get rid of addiction, by occupying ourselves much more and it will be easier to forget about gambling after a long time there is a shadow from us maybe that is also a solution and however it will always be different every time you want to stop gambling from addiction.

Maybe I am the same as Swogerino who is too focused on gambling, after I work I find it easier to spend other time and only on weekends we can play again as a pleasure to gamble.

That's great for you, but if everyone manage to do well, then many gambling site will have to close their operation due to lack of traffic on site. I wouldn't ask people to gamble or stop gambling if they could afford to take responsibility for their gambling, but I might try to remind them if their gambling habit have made them a problem person. I've done it before with a friend, it certainly won't be easy at first but at least now the frequency has become much less frequent. Gambling control are necessary and we really need to be responsible gambler to avoid trouble.

You acted well, but keep in mind that in order for you to be able to reach to your friend and help him, you need to know that he has an addiction in the first place. I believe there is a large number of players who are indeed addicted but are not disclosing it in a way that it is noticeable for their friends and family. Of course if you start borrowing money or so, but I guess the group of players hiding their addiction or not even realizing it themselves is quite significant.

I'm not sure if gambling here and there for competition or socially counts in as being a regular gambler but I think it comes into the gambler group if we remove regular from the sentence.

I started gambling back after hearing about it on another forum that was gaming related and mentioned a Dice site that accepted Bitcoin and from there it began.

When we do hear out new things in our ears then that curiosity of ours would really be poked up and this is also the thing i did felt when i do first time jumped in here on crypto space gambling sites

where it turns out the accessibility plus the convenience on making out a deposit without any hassle unlike with fiat ones plus having no kyc which do really sparks out peoples interest.

Being a gambler isnt bad if you do know on how to handle your finances or able to handle out yourself when you do play.

That's a good line, However, The time comes where you're tested for your sanity after facing many losses and trying to recover from all by doing the 2x deposit method and maybe winning or losing but it does prove that how vulnerable you are in the starting unless proper instructions are given to people who're new to gambling will always end up losing everything, in the end, doesn't matter if they managed to make 2x,100x or even 1000x. The gambling rush will get to them in the end, making them lose everything and going broke unless they realize before it's too late which is quite hard.

i am a gambler who is not very active ^{(i mean who gambles once or twice a week)}, i also keep up to date with the latest news on gambling sites and sports news because i like it.  as long as i and maybe not other gamblers make posts on the gambling board and it's still on-topic it's definitely not a problem, right!

As long as you are participating in the discussion, you are definitely on topic.

Besides, not every gambler is really a pro, some are just starting, so discussions would really help them to know about the game and to get some tips to win. Also, as long as we gamble, regularly though not on a daily basis, it's still safe to call ourselves gamblers.

Of course I am a gambler but a few months still I don't take participate in gambling because I already lost my professional job and I have no heavy income. But I recently joined Betfury.io gambling which already bet me with losses. So now I am completely free from gambling.

So actually, we know how to stop gambling but sometimes, we deny that it is too difficult for us to do that. Well, that needs the courage to leave gambling and do other things to prevent the mind from thinking about gambling.

But once we can do that, we will not regret it because we can change our lives with the other things that can benefit us. The best is we can cure the addiction that happens to us and occupy ourselves with something good for our lives.

Yeah, gambling addiction is severely overrated, almost everyone is talking about gambling addiction while not everyone is actually addicted. Something we do daily doesn't necessarily tell us that we are addicted to it because if such is the case we are addicted to stress, happiness, etc as well since we experience these feelings daily.

We are gambling because we have nothing else to do and hence if you feel you are gambling too much then all you need to do is find a job or something that keeps you busy enough to avoid gambling. Once you distribute your time towards more productive activities, you won't have any such gambling problems.

It is very difficult to stop an addiction. It's like a smoker who has to quit smoking. But if we really intend then everything will be done. Maybe not immediately disappear but little by little it can eliminate the habit. Expand the positive activities and interactions with many people outside the environment that makes you an addict.

I consider that we really like to gamble, but we can control ourselves better in gambling games to prevent the addiction. Our mind or will is too strong than the addiction that want to take control of ourselves so we do not get the impact of the addiction. That will not be the same for people who can not control themselves and drag into the gambling games without any chance to leave it.

I agree that we must take ourselves busy and do something else to think clearly that gambling is only part of our lives and we should treat gambling as it was. We can stay away from gambling anytime but we can play gambling in our free time but the difference is we know how to stop gambling and not being addicted to gambling.

That's because willpower alone isn't going to cut it, there's a step by step process to cure addiction, this is the 21st century so it's not like we don't have the tools and the ability to cure the addiction.

For me, I cannot exactly recall how it began but I started bitcoin gambling when I was losing too much at some fiat casino and I discussed it with my friends and during our search, we found out the provably fair thing. Although in starting I wasn't sure how it works but once I understand the system it was quite amazing and refreshing at the same time.

Yes, that's right and if there are posts that are not on-topic you will see the moderators clean them very quickly. I also follow gambling news and various promotions that are going on these days.

Now it is the 21st century where almost everyone can access the internet, that way we can find on the internet how to cure gambling addiction.
So it should be if we want to cure the gambling addiction that we experience becomes easier, because there are so many articles on the internet
that explain how we can be free from gambling addiction. No need to rush to spend big money to ask for professional help, because it turns out
that there are many ways to be able to cure gambling addiction.

Sure there are many tools to cure addiction, but what if the addicted gambler will refuse to be cured. I believe that's one of the biggest problems because they will just ignore and they'll continue what they are doing, if they don't have their family to help them, I think they'll just end up with a miserable life.

All of us are gamblers, some with Money but some with time and also some with our time .

________________________________________________________________

But I am a gambler for all cause, My money has allotting something for gambling and also my time.


And the big part to fight addiction is our family and love ones.

we cannot sustain the curing without their help and effort .

Man, i can't find one of my posts where i described how any addiction (alcohol or drug or gambling) is cured in my country (and i think that the same techniques are used all around the world) - but believe me, it's pure hell. You should better hope for your willpower rather than help from curing centers.

There are many cases of people overcoming problems like this on their own so this is possible but there are some other people that require some professional help in order to do so, in any case the most important step is to realize there is something wrong with what we are doing and that something needs to be done to correct this, those that never make this realization have no chance to improve and while it is not a sure thing that those that do get better, the chances are way higher especially if they have the support from their family.

I don’t think it’s that easy. Reading the articles is unlikely to give you the opportunity to correctly diagnose the causes of addiction and see some nuances, especially given the fact that we are talking about self-medication and not about the treatment of some outsider, so subjective factors will play a big role. And by the way, if he hurry up and spend money, then perhaps it will be much more profitable, since a person will stop spending money on gambling.

Sometimes the fate is not with us it's better to have risk management than losing all of our assets. Due to having a pandemic, we lose a lot of things even our beloved jobs. Unlike other people they want the urge to get more money and take back their losses I guess it's a good decision of yours congrats mate.

In terms how they cured those addicted through rehabilitation or just having a restriction to someone who wants to play gambling?. Because on my country those addicted onces do the same thing of banning them to the top casinos and put them on rehab.

You have been save by your religion mate, otherwise, you are still gambling till these days. Or maybe, you are not destined to be a gambler but might be a trader. How I wish I could be your friend, however, I don't have such thinking about quitting or to stop gambling coz I was also enjoying myself of what I've done. The fact that it won't compromise my financial status and still know my limitations, I don't think there is something I have to worried about.

I think people will easily manage money without gambling, but you have difficulty managing money without gambling. I don't have thoughts in that direction but when you gamble, of course your expenses will be greater and when you stop gambling, you will automatically find it easier to manage your finances, not more difficult, right.
By the way, at least you've made it this far to not go back to gambling, in contrast to me even though I stopped for at least more than a year but in the end I returned to gambling, but so far I feel a lot of difference in gambling in the past and now.

Self control is the key here to jump out of addiction. Even I smoke a lot but not addicted. I mean I dont smoke everyday. I smoke when I meet my friends. But when I come home and stay with my family, I dont smoke. I feel smoking lot often, but I just skip it saying, will smoke when time allows. I do not compel myself to go for a smoke. Like wise, anything can be controlled. But Its up to each one. But its possible to get out of addiction. Self realization and self control can only cure addiction.

I'm happy if you can really stop gambling...

but gambling makes curiosity stick, you may be able to stop for a few months but there comes a point where you will return to gambling again. when that time comes then you must be able to control yourself.

I'm not a religious person, but I don't think there's much difference between trading and gambling (sports betting)... The feeling of excitement is present in trading all the time! As there are winners and losers... After all, if you manage to earn money in trading, someone is losing money... So it seems to me that these kinds of activities are very similar...

Personally I did both, even though I'm not a high roller who tends to take a risk by pouring tens of bucks or more in one bet. Just an ordinary gambler who used to bet with several cents each bet (unless in slot bonus buy feature which it cost tens of dollars at least), and lately had been involved in sports betting. I also used to posts on gambling section although without join in a campaign, ofc I didn't deny the fact that signature campaign encourages me to make gambling posts more.

If you want to give up gambling then that is your decision just be careful because trading can be way more damaging than gambling, at least in the games you play against the house you know the advantage they have over you and it can be quite small depending on the games you liked to play, but on the markets the advantage that an experimented trader has over someone that does not really knows what they are doing is huge and you could lose a great deal of money if you do not really know what you are doing.

Playing gambling is a choice, no one is forced to join gambling. So, if you think it is better for you to not gamble anymore, then go on. We cannot blame you because you are not interested in gambling anymore. However, since gamblers come from various religions and backgrounds, you also must respect them. Regarding your effort to build money in other ways, I hope you can succeed. But remember that even it is not gambling, no guarantee you get a better income if you did it in a haphazard way.

You would able to find it for yourself because when i do first gamble then i do find out myself to be that impulsive and i cant control myself when it comes to finances.
Thats why i do really make out decision on not to touch up gambling anymore because im aware that it would really be giving me out some problems in the future
when it comes to money or budget since im really that emotional not only on gambling but on every simple things in life.
So if you do have this kind of behavior then better to stop on early phase.

I am not an active gambler only sometimes I like to gamble when there is an urge to gamble and in a month only a few times to do it and for fun and with small capital.
although sometimes there is a desire to continue playing but I can control myself and other reasons I always lose even though I rarely play gambling and when I lose there is always a sense of regret and why I do that that's why I play when there is a desire to play and with small capital.

Don't worry because majority of us are Losers , there are only very few that can manage winning more often.
and also Categorize ourselves as a Fun gamblers and not a total gambler in which can be addicted at any time.

These days I wouldn't classify myself as a gambler.  I did hear a phrase the other day I liked that went something like...  When two men have a disagreement the next word should be 'bet'.  Not a bad way to operate.  

If I were to try and classify my status as a gambler, I would say that I am but a man who enjoys the added happiness that comes with exclaiming, "give me my money!" after a sporting event.

You felt like completely Free from gambling because of losing capacity to sustain your gambling activities but for sure once you return back to having professional Job again? then you will decide if you are really free from gambling or not.
That is why I am indeed supporting the idea of Gambling and Trading are at by chance the same.

Some of us think when gambling is just for fun, then it may not be called a gambler. But for me, even though you only gamble for fun by spending a lot of time having fun gambling, then for me that activity is included as a gambler. For me, gamblers don't always have to spend a lot of money, with them sacrificing a lot of their time in gambling even though they only spend a little money but still, they are gamblers who may only differ about addicts or not.

Trading has a larger chance of winning than gambling, and you can also cut your losses. The first difference between trading and gambling is that you must master fundamentals and technical analysis, whereas gambling is based on luck. On the other hand, they are similar to emotional aspects of gaming in that if you can't control your emotions, you may lose. If you're winning, someone else is losing, which is true in both cases. It's also impossible if everyone is winning because the money on both sides is in a cycle.

Personally I gamble on soccer betting and my mission on this thread is to read and seek other soccer analyst opinions invariably compare them with my own personal analysis before placing my bet especially during EPL English Premier League season I do read few members who placed some bets before a match, I am not here just to only fulfill my signature campaigns, I don't bother myself making comments on sports that I am not interested on e.g casinos, slots etc I read mostly soccer related comments and that is my place of interest, it is also very interesting to read other members views regarding players transfers, post matches analysis and match officiating etc with a view to also make reasonable contributions and comments and also acknowledge their views

Gambler or not is not based on how much we spend on it. Even if we are spending few cents only then we are gambler already as we are risking our own money. Gambling for fun is just a "slogan", for those who do not want to get addicted in the long run. This slogan may control us so we wont be doing to far away in gambling (spending more than we can afford to lose).

I think what OP is trying to ask is if you are a gambler that you are able to participate in the discussion or just faking it so you can meet the post requirement for your signature campaigns. Gambling should be fun and entertaining but the only problem is that the discipline to control yourself when to stop is going to difficult to do.

Are you no longer a gambler, now?
Deciding to stop gambling is an individual choice, but remember the problem comes from yourself, not from the gambling itself. You said that you cannot control yourself and probably you spent your daily funds on gambling, so your finances become worse. Actually, you can learn how to control yourself and gambling may be a good place to exercise it. However, you are the only one who knows yourself well. If you think it will harm and be very difficult to control yourself in gambling, you can decide to stop.

Well, I hate quitters but if you think that it is the best choice it is up to you, that is your money, your decision. Just try to set up yourself how to learn to be contented and gamble of what you can afford, in gambling there is a lot of fun that you can enjoy during break time or you are at home while taking a rest right after the whole day work. That was the reason I can not leave gambling especially poker, while you gamble you can talk to your opponent too in if in online you can hang on for a while in the chat room. I think there is no problem in gambling, it is you --yourself.

Please, note that who quitted gambling is Fatunad, not me.
Read again carefully, I just respond to his situation and try to deliver my opinion.
Because it is not my case, it is better for you to write "HE". So, people don't misunderstand.  :D

You are right, gambling should be an enjoyable or fun thing. Don't make gambling to be too serious by targetting earning a big amount of money. Most of the gamblers who become addicted or be stressed of spending all their money, probably because they are too obsessed with earning a big money from the jackpot or prizes. But if someone just gambles with small funds (money that can afford to lose), I think there will be no problem at all.

Everyone can't be the same. For you it is for fun and to spend your time. People easily get greed and fall for it. The self control of people gets triggered in no time when there is continuous win. If one has the understanding and spends what he afford to loss, then gambling will never have any negative impact over one's life. Truly its is us the people who out of control give it a bad image.

Better to stop while you are still capable of dictating your mind,

Most addicted gamblers can't do that and they need help from other people to the point that they needed to ask for professionals to assist them and help them to correct the balance inside their brain, same with any other addiction that triggered the unbalance actions inside your mind. Always asking to please your lust which resulting to keep losing your money.

The difference is we can use gambling as an activity that will not make us addicted because we can control ourselves.
But when we continue playing by spending more money and lose control, it can make us addicted at any time.
No matter how much money we use to gamble, we are still a gambler and even if we do not play gambling very often like the other people, we are still a gambler.
But playing gambling is okay as long as you know when to stop gambling and always prevent becoming an addicted person to gambling.

The question immediately arose - how to make a gambler not remember the game for at least some long time?  It seems to me that this brings such a player into a state like an alcoholic, who only thinks where to get alcohol.  And such a struggle is inside your head, it can be won by some people, with a stronger will, but with some people it certainly cannot be won.  And then this dependence can be classified as a disease.  Perhaps after a while, scientists will learn to insert electrodes into the brain, so as to suppress this particular anomaly, and the person as a whole will be completely normal and adequate.  Let's hope that such research is underway and will yield results.

Does this include you.
Some people understand the definition of Gambler may be different. A gambler in my opinion means someone who likes to play and even experiences addiction to gambling. So if that's asked of me I'm not a gambler. But I once gambled for pleasure. So if I draw conclusions from that I am not a gambler. So I'm not going after the post, but it's interesting to have a discussion to make this clearer.

I think, if we discuss this topic, it is worth highlighting at least three categories of people:
 1. People who are completely indifferent to the game and never gamble at all.
 2. People who love to gamble, but are able to stop in time (controlling themselves and their money if they lose)
 3. People who are addicted to the game (gamblers), respectively, those who cannot stop until they have lost everything that is, everything that  he can lose.
 If we proceed from such categories of people, then the players are those who are in groups 2 and 3. But in the topic as a whole, they are constantly discussing those who are in group 3.
But here  OP must determine who to discuss....????

Gamblers are those who risk their money or other valuables in games of chance (without any control of the outcome). There are many varieties of gamblers—compulsive gamblers, casual gamblers, etc. But they're still gamblers.

I think that's what rehabilitation usually does, which of course they or addicts will always be monitored and directed to more positive things or activities that will create new patterns in their brains. If the addict is still in rehab, it seems certain that they will recover, although sometimes some of them will return to the pit of addiction. But because of that, I don't need to expect something bigger like scientists to find new ways to help them, because by instilling a strong determination in them to get out of addiction, I think that's enough because all choices will return to the individual whether to quit or not.

And in general, gambling is risky, therefore it's not wise to gamble if you are not discipline. Also, when you are not at the right age yet which is normally at 18 or 21 years old, you should not gamble as you have a weak emotion and you can easily be addicted to gambling.

And I agree with you. Getting rid of an addiction to gambling requires the help of a therapist.
In spite of the fact that you put forth your best efforts to avoid gambling and haven't been successful in overcoming the urge to keep playing, it's time to seek professional help.

I agree with this, people blame gambling when they lose money they did not wanted to lose but what they do not realize is that this is a problem that is within them and gambling has been only a way to reveal this flaw on their character, which means that sooner or later that flaw will show itself again on another activity, it is because of this that if you find yourself with this kind of problem you should do everything you can to fix it otherwise you are going to have problems when enjoying anything as there will always be the fear on the back of your mind that you could eventually develop a compulsion when enjoying any activity.

Not at all but I am nowadays searching a good gambling site because I want to spend my ideal times on a gambler but which gambling site would be better for me . This week I already created an Betfury account but don't login again. I want to need another site for gambling.

Everything has a risk, even trading and investment also have risks. That's why we need a good understanding to do something, including playing gambling. Not only be discipline, but we also need to have sufficient knowledge about what we are playing and know how to control our emotions there. You are better to play once you have been mature enough. 

Psychologically, when you are already more than 18 years old, you have been mature enough. But no guarantee that you have good self-control although meets the age requirements (18 above). Also, addiction cases cannot be determined by the age number. It is personal problem that can be caused by varied factors.

Discipline is enough to prove that you know what you are doing, learning the basics of gambling is very easy, but the hardest part actually is to stay discipline as that would make you control yourself and you'll not lose crazy amounts leading to financial problem.


But at least the government or authorities has to set a fix guidelines on those who are allowed to gambling, and 18 years old has been set for some as it's an age of maturity. Well, everyone should learn from their mistakes, if one will not, then that would be his problem.

On the one hand, you are right, but on the other hand, we are constantly faced with gambling in our lives, even at an earlier age. All life is filled with different choices and each choice has consequences (most of which are unknown in advance) and it is very similar to gambling. It seems that all people need to learn how to behave properly when dealing with gambling, rather than just avoid it.

That's a different type of gambling as it's for survival, gambling in games is something that we can live even without it because it's just entertainment but gambling to survive is necessary for us. We don't know what future lies ahead for us, but if we gamble, make sure we have a good chance or it will not kill our finances as the consequences will be something that we will regret in our life.

I hope you can be careful when you want to spend your time playing gambling and please remember to have control of yourself because we never know when we will lose control of gambling. You can search for many gambling sites in the Gambling threads and start to register on every gambling site on that thread. Please always remember to use the money you can afford to lose and stop gambling fast if you think you are enough to play gambling.

Such warnings is very important knowing that there are many addicted gamblers who can't handle this pressures.

People who at first aiming to have some fun or to have some little amount of earnings,
whatever intentions they've got but ended up getting addicted and lose a lot of money during their stay.

There are many gambling sites indeed and from different types of gamblers you'll able to read their feedbacks
regarding to their experiences while using the platforms.

Yes, we can completely abandon gambling in our everyday life and have fun in other ways. But why do this if gambling can, firstly, entertain us, and secondly, give some life lessons (and these will be very cheap lessons, since if you lose here it will only be a loss of money, and if you lose in life it can be much more serious). Naturally, I'm talking about a situation when we spend an insignificant amount on gambling.

It's not a problem if you'll only spend a small amount of money, the real problem will come if you will spend big money because you wanted to win and you resulted to chasing your losses. For some, gambling is fun at the start, but the moment they hook, they began to lose control and are already risking big money to win back losses, they don't see the risk and they have no idea what they are doing will result in a disaster.

If I could give a piece of advice to myself first and then to everyone here, the following rules must be met to avoid becoming a degenerate gambler:

• A practical gambler (PG) plays only for fun and prefers to gamble on usual occasions (not everyday);
• a PG gambles with limited and controlled funds;
• a PG knows well in his practice, the meaning of control and moderation;
• a PG never falls into the temptation of letting himself be absorbed by the game;
• a PG uses his winnings to better sustain his life, but not mainly to play more and in an obsessive way;
• PG losses are always small and acceptable. One of its important characteristics, is to be never in debt because of gambling.

Basically, discipline isn't the only thing you need, there are many other things you need as well. People become discipline because of many reasons, it can be varied. Sure, the main reason is to avoid big losses and play gambling with proper fund allocation. But to make someone be really aware and can keep the discipline regularly, he needs to know more about gambling as a whole, including knows the possibility of addiction if he gambles carelessly.

Also, in playing gambling, you actually need to improve your ability and knowledge. You can say it is enough to learn the basic thing for such games as slots, roulette, craps, or baccarat. But for skilled games (ex: blackjack or poker), improve ability and knowledge is a must to make you play more efficiently and effectively. You mustn't dream to only have newbie-level skills after spending your time for years on gambling.

The gamblers know about that warning, but they do not think seriously because they thought they could better themselves. But after some games, they lose that besides losing their money and they still do not realize the mistake.

The big winning can make them getting the pressures and if they can not take care of themselves, that can blow their mind and get deeper into gambling. They will end up getting addicted, as you say and that will not be easy to solve. As long as they are playing gambling not too long and making limitations, I guess that can help them avoid addiction to gambling.

Absolutely correct, but proper budgeting is not only a gambling problem. I think everyone has heard stories when a child accessed a parent's account (a credit card linked to a Google Play account) and spent a lot of money on a variety of things in games. Parents should teach their children how to spend wisely, and this applies not only to gambling.

 I dont get your main purpose, first you say you want to spend your time on gambling but you do not login again after created an account? Now you are looking for other gambling sites. Are you going to do the same thing on other sites? If you really want to spend some of your time on gambling, spend your time first to do some researches on this forum. Choose which site you like most based on what kind of game you want to play.

That's right, gambling sites are widely available now and you just have to choose according to your interests in gambling such as casinos, sports and much more. But maybe the reason he is no longer logged in, maybe he doesn't like the site or something else like fees and many other factors that maybe he chooses to leave it and look for another better site, but the problem is what kind of gambling game he is interested in, so that others easy to give advice.

I think that another great problem is that people do not really understand the probabilities at all, how many times we have seen people coming here claiming that the martingale system is a sure way to beat the casinos only to comeback a few days later complaining about the casino thinking they were being cheated on when they simply lost fair and squarely, it seems that most people simply do not have enough understanding about the probabilities behind the games, because if they did then they will recognize that such strategies will never be successful and they will take gambling for what it is which is a fun way to pass some of our time.

Many factors actually make people move from one gambling site to another. Because now there are so many choices of places to gamble, we just
need to find one that suits our taste and is comfortable using it. Therefore, many gambling sites on this forum try to promote by holding
a signature campaign, in hopes of attracting more people to their site. For me, the most important thing when choosing a gambling site is that
it has gambling games that we like, and choose a gambling site with a good reputation, to avoid becoming a victim of fraud.

Everyone is a gambler, life is a gamble and there is no day you can go without risks.  To believe otherwise is unrealistic and usually the doctrine of overbearing governments who believe they can legislate out the idea and possibility for any risk or unknown in life but it is a perfectly natural phenomena & unavoidable.
  Whether we go and play games based on risk is another thing but I consider every day a kind of gamble, people only really take notice of the big risks in life but small things can lead to large alterations in outcomes in unforeseen ways and I'm unlikely to ever change my mind on that normal probability we are players every day.

when you start gambling with money and you regret losing afterwards, it will become and addiction, i started playing to spend some time, but things kept getting bad i started thinking about money, i recommend for you @Sihab76 to avoid gambling, and if you want to spend time you must know you can control yourself, but if have been gambling for sometime now, you should have found by now a gambling site that suits you.

Maybe he needs to test one by one of the sites to find which site can make him comfortable playing gambling. Or maybe he just wants to have many accounts from many gambling sites and he will check it later one by one. But I suggest he not play gambling for a long time, especially to check the site because that can make him keep playing without control. I hope he does not forget to write down his account in notepad so he does not have to confuse if he wants to login into his account.

Theres's a recipe to enjoy gambling even in the long run, and that is to gamble with pure fun, no chasing or bets, accept every loses and move on, if you easily forget your loses, that means you can afford what you lose and you'll consider your loses as expenses to get the entertainment.

Other side is if you are consistently winning and you already consider gambling as your source of income, this one is very rare but it's possible.

Gambling isn't a rare activity that only a few people can participate in; there are a lot of gambling activities, and you can even see people gambling on the street, so I don't think most of them don't have any experience in gambling and aren't allowed to discuss gambling topics here. It is not difficult to gain gambling experience.
Some people are posting for signatures, but it doesn't matter as long as he has an idea on the topic and can share his/her experience, gambler or not, as I've previously stated, gambling is subjective, everyone has already experienced risk, which is what most of the topics in this section discuss.

If many gamblers follow your suggestion, I am sure they will not think much about their losses because they already agree that gambling can make losses and they are playing gambling because of the search for fun. They can accept the risk and use the money they can afford to lose so as long as they can get pleasure from gambling, it does not matter for them because they get what they want from gambling.

If somehow, they win many times without trying to cheat the casino, I think they are very lucky, more than the other gamblers, and that is very rare. In this condition, as long as they are aware of what is happening to them, they will not try to chase the win instead still trying to enjoy the gambling games.

And what better example that life is in fact full of gambles than the vaccine, whether people decide to take the vaccine or not they are taking a gamble, those that decide to not do so are basically gambling that they are going to be strong enough to resist the virus, and a great deal of them will be strong enough but others will not be so fortunate, while those that decide to take the vaccine will have better protection against the virus but they are taking a vaccine that was developed really quickly and that has more side effects than other vaccines, and they are basically betting that they will not be one of the people that will be affected by those side effects.

One of the things that boggles up my mind on where my relatives is really serious on taking the vaccine while me is still hesitating to do so because as mentioned i cant really gamble my own life because if we do really

talking about virus infection then it all matters with the immunity of someones body and im being too paranoid when it comes to those vaccine side effects even though it is really just on small scale or percentage

but it cant still afford to risk on taking a shot and its true that every decisions in life does have corresponding risk or something consequence that you would really able to experience.

it is our body so we are the one who can feel and find if we can carry the vaccine or not , because if we die no one will bring back this from us  not even those Great doctors.
and we can prevent from being infected doing the necessary precautions , and all the foods i take must be cooked or sealed.

your life you decide that's all.

And at the end of the day it is your decision, personally I do not agree when one side or the other tries to humiliate the other by calling them names and things like that, this is a life-changing decision so it must be taken with the utmost care and if someone reaches a decision different than the one we took then we must respect it even if we disagree with it, I took my own decision about the vaccine as well and I am sticking to it regardless of who agrees with it or not.

We do have our own pride and principles in life and im a type of person who does stick into things that  i had in mind and there would only be changes of plans  or decisions if i do see something  that convince me on.

It would be varying on situations on why someone would consider on taking it and as long we are aware with the risk and aware with the possible  benefits then changes would really be there.

Real life decisions is a gamble so better be prepared and would decided on what would give you the most benefit.

Both, you cannot participate in a gambling discussion without spamming if you are not playing in gambling casinos or you are not a gambler, participating in a gambling campaign is a good incentive for those who want to share their knowledge and experience, I play on luck-based games that involve a lot of risks, so I'm more on a discussion on strategies related to luck based and mindset on how you play these luck-based games.
