Today I want to take a deep dive into gambling and how negatively it has impacted our society;

Growing up into a man I got used to gambling believing it will change my current financial status, which I was wrong, it was quite the opposite, not that am not seeing money, I was but I was too fix in making it through it.

When I finally quit the addiction, I realized that I was doing better than I even thought,

Fast forward to yesterday when I go into a betting shop to see someone, I was shock to see some of my guys in the neighborhood which I knew they where doing well, now looking wreshed an tattered.

One one thing I have noticed about gambling is that before you win a thousand box, they might have milk you of more than that.
[I just want to use this medium to appeal to the younger generation, please stay off gambling, if you must do so, gamble responsible, don't take it as your only source of living so it wouldn't milk you dry.

We should not avoid gambling but rather avoid having thoughts that this activity would give you wealth or an instant way to get rich ‘coz there’s no such thing. As we all know, once you’re caught up with idealization of winning that jackpot no matter what, that is when you would be having problems to quit. Best thing is to have discipline however, it won’t be simply implied to oneself. Gambling has indeed its own risks but the one who gives weight to that risk is no other than ourselves. We are too fascinated of instances wherein some players are winning big time without considering how many have lost huge amount of money from gambling.

What did make you believe gambling was going to change your financial status? That was a wrong belief based in wrong assumptions. It seems you wanted that to be true, because it was a confortable mean to make income, much more enjoyable than working several hours a day for a minimum wage or so in the end of the month. Gambling isn't for people looking for a way to improve their financial status, but a hobby for people who already belong to a superior financial status and has money to spend without compromising their expenses later.

You should not take gambling as what will give you profit but take gambling as a means of entertainment and you should only gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose. It is when you think that you can make profit from gambling that you will end up chasing your losses and become an addict along the line.

Set aside your gambling budget and don't gamble more than that amount so that you don't regret your actions. People who don't understand gambling are the ones think they will hit it big and they will end up losing everything in their bankroll. Gamble responsible by having self-control over your gambling activities.

If you think of gambling as a way to make money, that is the worst thing you can do and it will not help but will be the easiest way to gambling addiction.

Gambling should be for fun and any money spent on gambling should be considered as loss even before gambling at all. The money I can not use to drink beer, I can not also use it to gamble. I do not go beyond my gambling budget which is small and can not affect me at all financially if I lose all.

There is no way better than to have a business or a job, rather than thinking of gambling to make money.

It depends on the level of ypur luck since you literally gambling in chances. It’s not true that you need to lose first before you win since chance works in random basis while casino typically can’t modify the result not unless the casino is rigged. But you can huge amount even without losing money first. It depends on your luck if you will win early or not.


I do agre that those under age should stay on gambling not only because it’s illegal but they should focus on study to find a decent job so that they can earn money which they can’t affod to lose.

You should consider yourself lucky that you are able to quit the addiction and return to living a normal life. No matter how much you lost in gambling over the years, in the end, you are out of the addiction with only losing your money but still having your life. I am saying this because I have seen people never coming out of this addiction until they themselves get so stuck that they commit suicide or take their lives themselves to an end by all this stuff.

If someone teaches the reality of gambling, no one will make false hopes of getting quick rich. This is only for short term entertainment, that's it.

Your problem was believing that gambling is a way to make money. For 99% of people it isn’t, and the 1% that it is, it boils down to dumb luck most of the time. Gambling should be done for entertainment and when it stops being fun you should stop gambling. Most people would be served well by gambling without any funds at risk and see if they actually enjoy it or if they enjoy the fantasy of riches.

If you you go to casino shops or any physical shop and ask them to show you the number of people that bet and the number of people that double their money in that moment, you will not be shock because you will get exactly what you have in mind, only few people and the majority will win nothing, that's gambling for you, there isn't any effect in it than this, it's negative but the society love it, didn't you see that people always go back to have nice time, that's because some people love the fun and doesn't care about the losses, it's when you carry it as a place to win daily bread you suffer in it. However, there are gamblers that are doing gambling everyday with their skills and strategy but few in number.


Let me tell you something. Betting platforms look at many factors before they launch that businesses and you know why, it's because they know that people don't have Jobs and means to make a living, even the ones making the money aren't making enough to pay bills and other stuff, the job factor alone is enough reason for gambling platforms to keep having customers because man must eat and they see gambling as an alternative to risk their available money. It's good that you are airing voice to the young ones but they will do anything legit to have money if there is no any other way and gambling is just one of them, so if you want t lend voices for people to stop gambling, lend it to government officials to provide jobs for the people, atleast that alone will reduce number of gamblers around the globe.

I assume you are an adult and for an adult gambling isn't a bad activity to partake in as an adult except it were to be kids below +18 depending on your county's legal gambling age.

Your  motive for gambling was what was bad and just like many others who thought gambling could be a source of income for them they also got milked dry and heavily addicted in it. Playing gambling can't  make you rich but owning a gambling shop or casino can. This is the difference between the player and the owner.

The player should understand that he can always get the optimum satisfaction of entertainment and fun from gambling but can never get rich from it. If you are to stuck your guns on getting rich through gambling you will like a mishap ship get sink to bottom, wasted.

If they go the lane where you experienced the realization, they may not lose thousands before realizing they were milked harder. Gambling however is hard to resist, even those who are trying to quit and divert their attention to sports only, will still stray sometimes back to playing blackjack.

I couldn't say the economy today will prevent gamblers from gambling more actually. I think it will keep them gambling because the more they need to win more.

I want to use this medium also to advice you to mind your business and avoid the gambling board since you claim to have stopped gambling, it actually makes no sense for you to read that the forum found it befitting to have a gambling board only for you to click it to type such messages.

There are people who make it from gambling, and some people gamble for fun, just like almost everything has the good and bad side so does gambling and I don't think gambling might be the reason your friends were like the way you saw them (they may be having other issues).
Trading also is a risky business also buying and holding some coin is as well risky but people prefer to see gambling as the devil when there are close similarities with other things we do for financial gains.


What I have come to learn is gamble with your emotions in check, don't gamble with what you can't afford to bear if lost and finally learn to call it a day.

How did you get here? Isn't it because you're still gambling online, which lead you to this forum and its gambling section?
The appeal is nice, but in reality young people who are not gambling, or just starting by betting popular sports, or spending a few bucks a week on dice, will not come here to read your post.

Beginner gamblers don't have time to read gambling forums and you won't be able to tell them anything. Hardcore gamblers will read your advice and understand they should be more careful and gamble less, but most of them won't do anything about it.

Gambling can change your financial  status only when you know how to gamble very well, but what matters is that you should know your target in gambling, its base on our mentality, so someone who is into gambling mainly suppose know in plan concerning gambling, and secondly when poor man gamble it will use all his or her hope in gambling and that is why a poor person think that they are not benefiting with the gambling, why the rich people play gambling to benefit and also play without benefits and secondly gambling us luck and it's not something of skill

It is true that you cannot turn gambling into a source of income. Because first of all, this is not a job you can earn, it's a gamble. Gambling is a pastime or hobby. You should always gamble with the amount you can afford to lose because the effect is different when gambling becomes a problem, it will definitely ruin your life if you can't handle it. That's proven and tested, many lives, families, etc. have been ruined by gambling. That's why you should always careful when playing gambling.

gambling is fun, gambling is a man and gambling is a hobby.

However, we must all know that excess of anything is not good and in the end will only have a bad impact on ourselves. So this is where it is important for us to limit and control everything we do, including gambling activities.
If a gambling activity is carried out carelessly without any control over the activity then the feeling of addiction to gambling awaits you. But there is something even worse than the feeling of addiction to gambling, namely the other impact of gambling addiction which will not only harm yourself, but it could also harm other people.

What makes gambling games a place to make money is totally wrong. Gambling is done by many people as a place to test how lucky they are that day and many people play gambling games for fun by considering the money allocated for gambling as buying happiness so that they are not forced to take back the money intended for other needs.

The concept of getting rich is not by gambling, but by working to generate profits every time you do your end-of-year bookkeeping. It's up to you whether you want to build your own casino.

Your intentions are good. I agree and support because you care about the younger generation so that they are not associated with wrong gambling in actual gambling practices.

This is the best advice you can give to others after your bad experience with gambling. But I want to remind you that there are many people who practice gambling as a hobby and have not been victims of addiction. According to psychology, behavioral addiction is the most dangerous type of addiction because it does not need chemical reactions in the body to stimulate it to do it, such as cigarettes, alcohol or drugs. The most dangerous types of this addiction is addiction to gambling because it drains huge mental energy in addition to the resources, which does not leave time for the gambling even to do other activities, so it is a purpose of his behavior, and it can easily harm those around him as well.

The bolded part is why people encounter issues while gambling. Not only is it wrong to see it as a way to change your financial status, you got fixed in it, which shows there was an element of addiction into it.

Your topic title should have been Addiction to gambling and its effects, which is a topic that is talked about here many a times.

Definitely everyone should gamble responsibly and if you do not have the self control to do so, avoid it entirely.

The problem is not gambling the problem is you as a gambler because you guys already have a wrong conceptual belief that gambling is going to change your financial life by winning an amount that will settle all they financial problems and setting them up for a world of financial freedom.

So this is the wrong mentality that is affecting both you and those your neighbours because from the look of things you also may likely slide back to your addictions if you don't avoid going to the betting store or just build a mentality of just taking gambling for fun.

Yes that is true, when you think that gambling is a source of income or gambling could be a passive income because it is not. Most of the time we think that doing gambling can give us more profit and make us rich easily we did not think that we can lose as well sometimes you will lose in streak and only win one in a day. It is become too hard for us to control our mindset if we are addicted to it.

 The words " gamble responsibly" transcends to mean do not regard it as a get rich quick scheme or something that would take you sorrows away. Hey, it's a hobby, pastime which one indulges in just for fun and I really doff my hat to those heavy risk takers who use money set aside for a huge project on gambling and expect that it would yield positive results.
 Gambling has so many side effects but it's sad that people tend to realize this after they may have either lost a lot from it or probably discovered they are slowly getting addicted. Gambling can be healthy if the gambler knows that its a game of chance and you'd definitely lose some and win some or if you know when to stop.

Most of you guys are preaching to the choir. We are all gamblers here and telling us the obvious that it's bad and it can hurt us makes no sense. It's funny how every week someone comes here to start a thread like this and half of the responses are made for no purpose. People applaud the OP and say, you're right, gambling is bad, and nothing happens. A week later someone else starts a similar thread.


Last time I checked gambling was not a man, but an activity a man can perform. :D

The gambling responsibility was the important word to all the gambler.The reason behind this was most of the gambler start to report the gambling sites after the loss,it was the common phenomenon for now.So it’s widely spreading disclaimer to take responsibility of the money involved in the gambling,the gambler should not blame for the both loss or profit from the gambling.The common one is the gambler will not blame for the winning of gambling site,then why gambler blaming gambling site for the loss.

I mean honestly this board is starting to turn in to gambling-aholics group.  If you have issues gambling, should you even be conversing on this board, on the "gambling discussion" topic? 

I never got in to betting when I was young, and I was somewhat exposed to it through my father, whom however was a very responsible gambler.  As I've gotten older, I always bet within my limits, so maybe I simply l learned that way. 

I do have sympathy for those that are struggling however.

Being a responsible gambler is a sign of strength since we can handle and control our urges to bet. It is really important that we have the proper mindset towards gambling and we know how to handle its consequences and risks wisely.
We all know that gambling is addictive but if we all know how to take control of our emotions, then we will surely know when to stop and when to continue. Setting a certain amount to gamble would be a wise move to control our gambling activities wisely.

Box? You mean bucks?...lol
How TF would you take gambling as your only source of income?? Where you get all the money to gamble then? I can't be assured about how true that statement is... If gambling is actually milking you dry, and that you got gambling as your only source of income, where you get 'em coins to gamble?..
I ain't in support of gambling though;I seldom see 'em OPs posting about strategies on how to enable 'em wins... It's not bad, but they've also been looking for strategies either not to get addicted or stop totally.

The pressure and our perspective towards gambling is what actually makes it looks like gambling is a bad habit or is wrong for someone to gamble. When you starts gambling and places all your hope into it that's when it's affects you negatively because you are hoping to make fortune out of it without knowing it works the opposite way, where if you keep putting your resources you get drained all the time and if you watched those that are making it they may not have that mindset you had but just wanted to be a little bit flexible with it and they won.

So gambling is not bad and rather we can say is good, like I said whatever that has advantage also have disadvantages as well. The disadvantage shows up whenever you have failed to stop at your limits because I believe everything has a limits so when you exceeds your limits them then disadvantage shows up to you from then you began to say gambling is bad or is distractive.

I agree with you. Younger ones easily get addicted to something as they don’t observe the negative aspects of what they are trying to do, which is very bad, so staying off gambling completely can help to avoid being addicted to it completely because even if we say these ages should gamble responsibly, they may generate gambling addiction, so the best thing for them is to avoid it.

Unlike adults, they can gamble responsibly without getting addicted to it, but not all the fact that some people see gambling as another easy way to get money quickly, just like what happens to you, which is very wrong, and that is a wrong assumption. It will not really help at all, and even if someone generates money from gambling, it hardly changes their life because they spend anyhow in the hope that another one will come tomorrow, and that is how people become addicted to gambling.


Exactly. This is the only mentality that results in gambling addiction. People do take gambling as a way of getting money, not for fun again, and these people become lazy and start using only gambling to sort out their financial problems. Since they are very lazy to work, which will generate money for them randomly, they become anytime gamblers. Everyday they must gamble because they will eat food, and without gambling, they have already blocked the way of getting money by themselves, so they depend on gambling. Forgetting that gambling only generates money often


Yeah. If he really has a gambling addiction, he doesn’t need to even go close to people who gamble or places where they gamble; if not, that addiction he thinks has wiped away will surely come back because when his neighbours see it in his front, he will also want to gamble again, and doing that will bring back that pleasure he thinks has gone. However, if someone has already become addicted to gambling before, the only thing to do is to avoid gambling completely. If not, taking gambling for fun won’t help them, and that addiction will come back.

It comes down to what you've said about being responsible. We're all responsible for our actions and as we gamble, any result of it should be justified by what we're doing. In the first place, we know that gambling is literally gambling. We lose, we win, we have bad and good days.
Those that are making money from it, good for them but it can't be done to all of us. As much as you want to be like them, they also gone through a lot of bad days before they're able to make money from it and treat it as a source of income. Whatever works for them might not work for us. So, if you want to stop, just stop. But if you want to continue, make sure that you're all doing it with due diligence and being aware of any possible outcome.

Seriously, gambling has turned many people into something that they never expected. Many people were living fine when they never got themselves involved in gambling, but now is another life of stories, and I know too that gambling has changed some people's lives from bad to good because I have also witnessed a few of them win big amounts of money from gambling. So let's just know that anything that has disadvantages also has advantages.

The problem that many people are having with gambling is that they continue losing money because of their high expectations, like dreaming to win something big all the time, which we all know the chances of are low, and having high expectations is what mainly causes gambling addiction because you always believe that you win one day. If we are to gamble, let us gamble with care, not just gamble anyhow.

One thing again, no matter how you will advise people with a lot of evidence why they hardly live gambling, the best thing should always be to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of gambling. Those that will leave surely leave it, and those who can't leave will never leave it because the way gambling is rushing some people's lives, the same way is furnishing some people's lives, and that is life in many circles of life.
 

They probably have a problem with their gambling habit, too. They may get addiction, same with the addiction you ever experienced.
You may think they gamble in a proper way, but they didn't. I'm sure they won't look seedy and tattered if they gamble in proper way. Most people who look messy because he spend too much time and money in gambling.

That's why there is an age limitation for the gamblers. We must be mature enough to be able to gamble legally in casinos. Most casinos obligate a minimum age of 18 years to be allowed joining the gambling games in the casino sites. They are aware that underage gamblers can have a big chance to get addiction. So, they never allow young people or kids to join gambling games. It is just for mature people, for people who understand the nature of gambling!

we should understand that everything that has advantages also has its own disadvantages I know gambling has it is own effect on society but what do say about people who make a living out of gambling they don't have any source of income except for gambling and they are doing very well. there are people who get lucky while gambling but for the few times I have played I just decided not to rely on it but rather play it for fun because if you not getting anything in return then you will keep hoping. the mindset of I will win has dragged a lot of people down.

whatever it has to be addiction is not good at all because at the expense of your will. you will see yourself doing what you don't want to do so it is good you were able to discipline your self and with the testimony of improvement that is how it will always be when you get rid of addiction, you will see great improvement. true gambling actually milks or has milked a lot of people but if greed is controlled you will definitely enjoy it.

Gambling is simply my worst mistakes, I've lived with this burden for years, perhaps it have taught me quite an interesting lesson which I always think of inother to right my wrongs. Gambling do favours the brilliant ones, those gamblers that knows what they're doing and not some random greedy gambler who will lose everything in the quest to gain more from the system. We follow people who have enough experience in the system, we forget the fact that what does works for Mr A might not work for Mr B. Gambling have both the negative and positive influence on people, we should probably stick to what's good for us other than roaming about scouting for opportunities which will not end good for us.

Your intention might be more appealing for those who have never start to gamble for all their lives because it's surely easier for them not to engage in it anymore. But for those who have started to gambling already and are now experiencing losses, it's certain that this post will no longer affect them. Instead, they will be more eager to pursue gambling to recover their losses and chase for more profits in the future.

First off, what made you think you can earn a living off of gambling? Did you grow up with people who are gamblers? Nobody in their right minds, even those who grew up with gamblers, would've thought that "hey, dad and mom are barely scraping by all because they are addicted to gambling, perhaps gambling could turn our lives around the way it ruined it". Idk man, seemed a little fabricated to me in hopes of earning merits or whatever.

But let's say I give you the benefit of the doubt, and you're only here to impart some "life-changing stories" or whatever, what have you done with the friends you saw who's clearly gone off the deep end and are already gravely addicted to gambling?

This is not new anymore for gamblers. Gambling casinos will never give us the house advantage to keep us winning, but will certainly use us and take advantage of our funds. But gamblers fail to realize that until they have incurred unbearable losses, that's when they consider leaving their addiction which I think it's not an easy thing for those who have deeply drown into gambling.

They always win and they are here for business and not to help the gamblers win the money.
We should lower our expectation when it comes to this and remember that gambling is a game of luck so better to enjoy it than to take it seriously. Younger generation needs our guidance and I hope that they will realize that gambling is too risky for them and they should not gamble if they are still not ready.

It's better at early stages you teach your child the advantages and disadvantages of gambling if you don't want your child to associate in gambling, what I know very well that is good in gambling to efucate whosoever you know that don't want to participate in gambling to know the implications, because the implications of gambling will make a child who planing to join gambling to go back without joining gambling, so I believe that when someone joins gambling and start losing big money their us nothing will make the person to withdraw from gambling because it's interior motive will be to recover whatever its has lost and that will make the person to become gambling addict.

Thank you for what you convey, also from your experience. But before you tell us about the contents of this thread, as well as the title of this thread, we already know and understand very well what gambling is. and what the impact of gambling will be, if you don't have guidelines such as understanding, responsibility and self-control.
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with what you said. in fact, it might even provide some insight for connoisseurs who are just starting to gamble.

However, For me personally, the point is not the betting shop or the casino platform. but for ourselves, including you.
My question is, why can you become a gambling addict. and the answer, you can keep it to yourself.
for me, it all comes back to us and how we view gambling. I experienced the evolution in gambling, from traditional gambling, land. based casinos to online fiat casinos and crypto casinos. The point is, the name of addiction is no different between then and now. addiction is addiction, period.

However, based on my experience, and as my understanding grows wider, what makes addiction is us ourselves as users. then, how to avoid addiction. the answer is not easy, but it's not as complicated as we think. In essence, it all comes back to how we view gambling. If we don't want to become an addict, we have to change our mindset. make it a fun part of your entertainment, without having to expect winning rewards in every game session. Bet according to what we can afford, without involving money which is our basic basic need, let alone using savings, it is not recommended. If you lose today, try to always divert it to something else. otherwise, our emotions will be dominated by anger which ends up chasing losses.

The responsible gambler had a free hand to take any decision,he can quit the gambling any time.The responsible gambler will use their own money and doesn’t use the money of their friends or loan amount.This alone made the gambler to not answer to any person for the loss.If the free money was loss in the gambling,the gambler can get back at any point.No one will urge the gambler to give the loan money,this will reduce the money pressure on the gamblers.The emotion handling at the early stage was the important to the gambler to get away from the addiction.

There is a warning that I give to each person that ever ask me for help with gambling I always stare to them very clearly about the danger of gambling and how it can ruin the life of the victims and this is why most of the gamblers fail to keep in mind and have affected the total well being in some cases,  but much as that be,  we should also consider a lot of other factors that makes people depends on gambling as a means of earning a living even though that is a bad choice.

Gambling for fun and gambling with only the money you can lose is the best way to go on gambling and at that anyone that do otherwise could have a bad resultant effects on several things because when you take gambling as a way to earn a living,  that mentality will push you to gamble more and in that process become addicted at some point.

You know gambling is actually interesting if you aim for a simple entertainment, but if your reason to gamble is beyond that, that's when gambling becomes bad for us. We all know that any one who risk to gamble will certainly experience thousands of losses at first before they can make winning profits, that's how uncertain gambling is. So if you think you are not ready to lose, then always be responsible not to enter gambling.

what more can i say? gambling has detrimental effects on you and your family if you don't know how to contain yourself when in front of your games. but if you are responsible enough and you know your limits, and you know when to stop, then you won't have such problems. people are just blaming gambling itself but they forgot to see who is really in control how to stop things from happening. it is the gambler himself. now, if he doesn't know when to quit, then, maybe, it is time to re-consider his choices.

This as has been the issue for being irresponsible gambler, and sooner or later you’ll suffer more because you choose to gamble like this. If you want to have a more happy life then don’t complicate your life, always be responsible and choose to be more happy instead of stressing yourself to the things that you cannot control and in gambling, its the house who always win.

This has been discussed before a thousand times here in the forum, the first mistake people make when they get into gambling is having the mindset that they can become financially stable once they start engaging in gambling activities, if you can’t accept the fact that gambling is for fun then you are bound to lose more of your money.

In anything you do, when you have high hopes if you fail to achieve that thing you’ll become extremely disappointed but if you never thought of that thing too much and it turns out to be a sham you won’t feel a thing and that what gambling is, if you depend or put high hopes on it you’ll only end up regretting why you ever engaged in it but if you just go there to have fun you won’t have that much disappointment… The early the better that bettors start to realize that if they need money they should look for a job the better for them.

Gambling was never intended to make it as a source of living, even if you do consider yourself as a good sports betting predictor or a poker player but still it wont really be ideal on making yourself that
relying with those gambling earnings or winnings which you would really be that depending on it because we know that we cant really be lucky forever. Gambling isnt bad as long you would really be doing things in moderation.

The only main issue on here is on the time that a certain person would really be hoping for something like being that rich becomes in gambling which it would really be making yourself that
putting in huge danger.When you are still young then curiosity would play into your mind on which whenever you do look it interesting then you would definitely be tending to dive in and would really be that engaging with it and this is something a very casual thing to happen. Devastation on your finances would definitely happen if you wont really be that mindful about your spending.
Gambling could impose such risks if you arent that wary about your actions or you are really that partly delusional when it comes to it.

Yes gambling os originally meant for entertainment but a lot of forks have hard a misunderstanding around it and have taken gambling to be a means to earn a living,  this has made matters worse over time and a lot of them already have cases of loss that they may possibly not be able to recover from in a long time to come,  but also a lot of other who at some point took gambling for the sole aim of entertainment but when they start winning big amount then charged the mind to take gambling as means to earn passive income all failed in the attempt.

You have the wrong mindset that gambling turns your money status into a big one? That's not the case, gambling is not a place to get quick money - then you are mistaken.

You have realized that gambling can lose all if you are not able to control it, in responsible gambling it is necessary but there is no need to be overly aggressive determine the percentage you want to spend, no need to expect to win quickly real gambling is luck.

To avoid gambling for those who are addicted is good, but for those who are wise in doing it it is not a problem for them even just for fun.

Why shod anyone actually take such a risky adventure as a means to earn a living,  gambling that is as risky as hell should be avoid by all means and for such anyone that should ever play them should do so based on the fact fhat gambling is just for fun and to ease pressure in form of entertainment and shouldn't be done at regular basis this is because a lot of those that have hard issues from gambling all incurred such issues the moment they begin to build a castle in the hills.

Chasing an unrealistic aspect is not true gambling but rather tha  gambling abuse on yourself.

It should be obvious from the start that once you put yourself into gambling, you are facing a risk of losing instead of winning. You don't have to be serious about making money in gambling because that is a crazy idea to rely on it as your source of income.

A source of income should be giving you regular money and gambling is not even close to a criteria like that.

If you gamble for the sake of a money-making scheme, you are really crazy and expect the worst.

Agree. Ideally, we gamble for fun/entertainment. If we get the prizes, it is just for a bonus.
Unfortunately, nowadays, many people think that gambling is a place for earning money. The fun/entertainment is just a bonus.
This mislead mindset triggers more addiction cases because people assume it is no problem to gamble excessively because it is the effort to earn money.

Well, I don't know why people consider gambling as a source to get income. I'm sure most people know that it is always difficult to win in gambling. I guess many people are unemployed or lazy find out jobs in real life. That makes them to rely on gambling for income sources because they think playing gambling is easier than looking for a job.

Starting gambling with thus mindset is very risky,  it can lead one to to become gambling addict. People who go addicted into gambling was because as a result of generating money from it as source of income.  Gambling is a game one has to be careful of so that it won't be affected by one's activity.  People became addicted thinking that they can make money from gambling all the time.  

Their is no way how gambling can change your financial situation because gambling itself is uncertain which  you can't tell if you can win a game. It is wrong to consider gambling as a way to attain financial stability,  this will definitely turn one to be gambling addicted.

People who stay in the gambling house to look for fortune are those who often find misfortune for themselves. The gambling house is not a place to make money, but rather a money sink that a lot of people often fall prey into. If they did honest work and actually tried to make money using the traditional way, they would have gotten far better in life. However, people are so used to get-rich-quick schemes that they are just wasting their time and their money by looking at the wrong places.

Totally true.
I agree that the younger generation should avoid gambling as early as they can. Don't let it consume you because, in the end, you are still a loser in this industry. But for those who are already inside, please be responsible with your money. I think sports betting will be a good source of taking the chance to win because it requires analysis before making a bet. Somehow it will stretch the money in our wallet and maybe it will also help us to control our gambling habits, just don't chase the losses and try betting on a sport that you don't know blindly because that will be a foolish decision and a waste of money.

I'm glad you were able to quit your gambling addiction. It is an effort that you should appreciate. We may find it difficult to change our financial status through gambling because we gamble with money and there is a possibility that we will lose that money. And if you have realized that, that's good for you and I hope you can do better.

People who previously had a better life can change quickly because they are introduced to gambling. They can also quickly become addicted to gambling without realizing it. And of course, their finances will be disrupted too so they won't be able to have a life like before. And it happens to people in your environment.

We can only gamble responsibly so that it does not affect our lives. With all the capabilities to prevent gambling addiction, we can use gambling as a form of entertainment. And it's true that we can't expect gambling as a source of income. We should look for sources of income from other places.

Exactly, the wrong mindset, over-reliance on gambling to make a living, Not only that, people rush into gambling and think that is the easiest way to become rich without even thinking about a strategy that they can apply and have more wins than loses, though luck is involved too, I have seen many people that bet the wrong way and greed having been another problem why the majority lose money, for instance, have seen gamblers in my area who's if their bet does not accumulate to 1 million they will not stake their bet, meanwhile they are combining up to 10+ games just in a single slip hoping to make a profit.

LMAO. Preaching in the desert. You are writing this in the gambling section of a forum where gambling is and historically has been of great importance. A forum about bitcoin, a currency whose first area of expansion was precisely in gambling. Where most of the people who are going to respond are advertising gambling casinos in their signature. I mean, your message is very commendable, but if you want it to have any impact you'd better find another place to launch it apart from this forum, as I doubt anyone is going to stay off gambling for having read your post.

Well, the lesson always comes in the end and that's a fact. I don't think this will make some impact (your voice) though to the whole world I mean there's lot of addicted gamblers out there and sad to say teens as well. That's always the case to win one but milked a thousand times, it's rare to win and mostly you'd just make it on breakeven.

Gambling is a threat to our young generation. The way young people are addicted to gambling today, we need to think deeply about the future of these young generations. Young society is showing indifference in making their academic career and gambling addiction is increasing day by day thus the youth is facing serious threat socially.

Currently in Bangladesh, students studying in schools, colleges, universities seem to be involved in online gambling. This has created frustration and anger among the parents and they are always worried about their children. These things are actually not a blessing for the country and the nation but have become a curse. It has become necessary for these gamblers to take measures of counseling both publicly and privately.

Gambling will indeed make you lose, like it or not you have to accept all the risks. But not only that, gambling also makes people feel happy. If you are tired and confused about what activities to do, maybe by gambling you will be entertained. So it can be concluded that someone who is wrong in controlling gambling will of course experience a big risk, but if that person can control when gambling then he reduces the impact of the risk itself, and this goes back to your own personality in determining and controlling gambling. do gambling. What for? Actually, for income it's clearly still doubtful, but if it's just for fun, I think it's no problem.

Gambling can make a person's life fall apart from what was good to bad. This is because there are many temptations that a person will encounter while gambling and if he is not strong enough to face them, he will fall deeper into gambling. And the worst impact was that he became addicted to gambling. This is why if someone wants to gamble, he must always realize that gambling is entertainment. And when he gets it, he must be able to get out of gambling immediately before it is too late.

And don't make gambling a source of livelihood because it will be difficult for us to earn money. Gambling can also cause our finances to become a mess, especially if we often gamble without self-control. And if someone wants to gamble, he must prepare not to be tempted by the offers he sees while gambling.

It is not really a threat. It's all about their attitude and the way they gamble will always depend on how they handle gambling. But you know, every young generation should always have someone to talk to them when it comes to gambling, at least someone that can explain them the risks and possible things to happen if they end up getting addicted to gambling.

The young ones in your country has the same situation in our country. Many young kids learn how to start gambling because of social media that was being promoted by influencers. The parents of those kids should really keep an eye on them and have a deep talk that gambling world is not easy as they think.

If you must gamble, gamble responsibly. That’s what the case should be and for this reason, there’s a designated age grade for gambling which is overly believed yo be the bracket for reason but, does this actually have an effect on reason? How could one really find out wha his or her actions about an activity would look like even before diving into the act itself? Apparently not possible but when you eventually do, it takes hold on you!

Them, it becomes a question of how determined you are what discipline you can instill on yourself and the efforts you can put in to uphold.

Everyone has a weakness for easy money and seek to exploit any identified means but, you ought yo realize that even gambling itself is a business and you don’t go into business to lose so, it’s not going to be that easy on the wins. Abscond from the idea of finding a fortune through gambling and let it be a lucky situation for you rather than trying to make it through gambling. It would set a lot of unworthy behavior in motion even before you realize it.

That is the problem because we assume that gambling gives us a passive income and think we always win neglecting the fact that losses are even more possible. If we are into gambling, we must be aware also that we could lose our money. So instead of thinking about winning, better think about enjoying the moment so it won't hurt us if ever we lose.
That was a good decision. Yes, we commit mistakes and take this as a reason to decide if we continue or not. Because if we are looking for passive income, gambling is not the answer.

The negativity all starts from here. Once you've convinced yourself that you are going to make it and change your financial life through gambling, that's the moment you start failing and ruining your entire career. This is because when we believe that something is going to work out for us, we take consistency as the key, which means we will have to keep trying every now and then, not minding how much we have invested, which can now be considered a waste. With the belief that one day we are going to hit it big, we don't care about those again. To me, consistency and making it through gambling is something one should take off their budget in their financial journey.
 
Gambling is not a bad thing, considering that you know your limit and you don't get yourself into becoming a very bad addict. Lucky for you, you were able to realise yourself on time and move on to other aspects of life where you can earn a living. If one can gamble and realise that all hope is not just in gambling and know when to call it a stop, there will never be much damage to the lives of the youth or any high damage rate to society due to the high rate of irresponsible gamblers.

It depends on how the person is playing it's gambling, some people gamble but they are still concentrated about what their doing and what they wants to achieve, one thing I notice in gambling is that when you want gambling to deprived other opportunities a gambling will done more harm by depriving you opportunities, because i know quite well that gambling can only deprived you other opportunities when you look at gambling and see it as only way to make money.

True and reasonable, now gambling is like a common thing in the eyes of society, especially in my country and obviously with it a lot of problems that have sprung up in every individual, I see now the news always shows those who are victims of this gambling. This is indeed one of the beginnings of many problems that will occur, making money with a normal job is now quite difficult to be able to make ends meet and in my opinion what makes more sense is because they have a difficult life so when they see gambling it is like a solution for them to solve their financial problems, in fact many of them beginners come with such intentions. Honestly, I am quite appreciative of their enthusiasm but what doesn't make sense is that they are doing it in a place that is completely wrong and doesn't make sense with their goals. Maybe you also already know that casinos create gambling so that profits are always in favor of the casino itself not for gamblers who only expect mercy from the casino for victory, it is difficult and I think it is very unlikely, so with this fact alone it is clear that you will always experience losses if you continue to carry the wrong mindset like this.

Yah to be honest I also do not prohibit them from gambling, but on one condition you have to gamble with a normal mind and with the real concept of gambling which is that this activity is only to provide you with pleasure or entertainment and not at all for income. Set boundaries because that's number one.

Every word of this always appears in all forum threads and it is very important to always remind gamblers, especially beginners who sometimes still don't know gambling, they always think that gambling is a quick way to achieve wealth, even though it is really just for fun, nothing more. Because there are so many people who misunderstand what gambling really is, it's not surprising that there are so many gambling addicts.

It is difficult if you have become an addict to recover completely, so you are always reminded that gambling must be wise and responsible because words like the above are always used as a warning to friends who are beginners in gambling, as much as possible, don't gamble if you still can't think of gambling as just an activity. pleasant.

Facebook and co. are less of a problem here. Much more problematic are games with in-game gambling, such as lootboxes or pay2win components. Lootboxes in particular tempt children to spend money and try their luck with better boxes, which very quickly not only costs money but also ensures that children are driven into a compulsive addiction. Social pressure also plays a big role here, since children are forced to have the best character, especially in well-known games, and this can often only be satisfied through Lootboxes (better equipment, etc.).

Some states have already begun to ban games with lootbox systems or restrict them so that they can only be played by adults (the success of this is of course marginal).

It's not good to be addicted to gambling but with what you put here you'll make someone to be absolutely scared of going near to gambling. One thing with gambling is that, its effect varies from individual and depends on how you understand and handle your gambling activity. So people are not just too good in handling things. You can be a regular gambler and still focus on other activities without allowing the gambling to weigh you down.

Gambling depression occur when you don't have anything doing to make money aside gambling. If this is the case, the victim might become depressed and felt lost when he's no longer winning. As far as you see gambling as an avenue to entertain and have fun with some little amount of your money, you'll have less problem with its effect. Get yourself busy and engage in other things, you'll definitely stop thinking about gambling all day.

My personal watch word is "Gamble responsibly" thus I won't be engrossed to gambling such that I would get addicted and consequently getting rekt and bankrupt, therefore wayout of avoiding addiction is to gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose that is exactly what I had been doing, those examples mentioned by the OP are addicted gamblers who in most cases staked all their funds into gambling and lost their hard earned money and yet wouldn't quit after they incurred several losses the end result would be catastrophic that was exactly what happened to your guys and I hope this serve as a lesson for intending gamblers.

The first topic I just created few minutes ago is similar to what you are saying OP, the harder things get the more people will keep falling into the wrong things, lack of jobs in my country has affected too many people and guys are now into this mindset of using all means necessary, they don't care about the consequences anymore.

Gambling was never created to enrich people , it's created for entertainment purposes and making money on pure luck, but people always think they are different, until they have a taste of it's bitterness.

When crimes are committed, if investigated properly gambling will be related, there are many arrests been carried out, and most of them are related to having debts to settle, from burglary, forgery and fraud cases, they do this to pay back their debts, gambling debts for that matter.

Gambling was never meant to be harmful if done properly, I do believe that anyone can develop gambling disorder if they are too focused on making money from gambling, it will be very hard to treat a problematic gambling behaviour, and that's why people need to seek for help once they start losing themselves.  

The younger generation or teenagers often gamble not because they want to make gambling source of livelihood because they are still the responsibility of their parents and all forms of needs must have been met by their respective parents.
The first thing that makes many young people or teenagers gamble is because they are curious about winning and also the desire to be able to show off to their colleagues who like to gamble that they have succeeded in winning.

This is an action that is actually very sad when you see children gambling using the money given by their parents you will feel pity and concern that they will be the next generation who will not be able to develop well.

It's good that you share your story and that you overcame your addiction, it's not easy for minors to overcome addiction because they are fully motivated and they do not accept defeat right away.
The youth is the hope of every nation, so it is the prime duty of the government to see to it that they are well protected and they are regulating the gambling platforms not to accept minors, here in our country violators incur big penalties ranging from heavy fines to revocation of their license, government's profit cannot compensate the damage of addiction to the youth.
 

Lack of jobs traps people, and thats the problem, right? Its true that gambling never brought wealth. Unfortunately, many perceive it as a way to earn money at entertainment. They now have a mess.

Is society involved too? Does our community support this mindset? Its simple to blame others, but we should also look within. Gambling debt crimes demonstrate the problem. Remember that anyone can fall into this trap if they're not careful.

If society offered greater job and growth prospects, gaming could be less appealing. Yes, people should seek help when they feel lost. Your wisdom illuminates these difficult times. I hope it helps someone.

I've always considered gambling to be fun. If your finances allow you to be lost, then there should be no problem participating in the games. You play for one day; today you are lucky, and you catch your luck and get an adrenaline rush. But tomorrow, you must understand that there may not be a win at all. If you understand this, then everything is fine. But why do we see people who decide to earn their living by playing games? Where is this taught? If you don’t have free funds, then it’s too low to take out loans for the game or sell personal items to win back. Don't let the game take over your thoughts.  There should always be a measure in everything. Everyone has their own, and not losing their face is the best thing a person who respects himself can do for himself.

Gambling is actually only for the rich, but it's not limited to people who can afford to lose their money. But the reality there are more poor people become a gambler, which is definitely wrong since they're looking to earn money. It's all about mindset, poor people don't want to learn and work harder.

Well this is not good and you must stay away against them because there's a chance you can be targeted by them for asking loan or even steal your valuable thing.

Tell that the lottery winners who became multi millionaires with a few bucks :P

But in a sense I understand what you mean although even the rich guys can exaggerate and lose more than they can afford. I think there is really no basic rule in terms of how rich someone should be. If someone buys the weekly lottery ticket and spends 100 bucks per months and is doing ok, I think it's fine. Are there better investments than a lottery ticket? Of course but if someone likes the feeling of the potential for instant life-changing money, then go for it. As soon as the social life takes a serious hit, it is wrong no matter how much was spent. If someone had the chance to have lunch with a friend instead of the lottery ticket, well then even the lottery ticket is a very bad investment.

May be some individuals are better in gambling and they become successful but not everyone can make money with gambling. The teenager will have more risk because they are too emotional in their losing and winning abilities.

According to the experts people who are a part of gambling become addictive of other problems too like that of taking alcohol as they cannot tolerate their loss so they use intoxication to take relief from unbearable conditions. Even drinking they never leave their gambling addiction so when they gamble they put a bad bet which is not in their favor.

I think if a person wants strong relationship, better education, good career and happy life then they should leave gambling addiction until it gets too late.

I appreciate it when people relate their personal gambling experiences and worries about how gaming affects society. Their experiences consistently make a few key points regarding the risks of gambling addiction and its potential repercussions. The OP's narrative will be included in the gambling cautionary tale Hall of Fame. An immediate reminder of the need of making sensible decisions when it comes to gaming.

This is the problem that most people do have, they always use the success of others on gambling to motivate their self, like they say if someone they know who is not that good with numbers can predict perfectly and win a game which can change their life, why can't they them self do it too. This taught alone is where most people start getting lose in the gambling system, they gamble their life out trying to make a point that they can make it through gambling too, why they forget that they don't have thesame luck and skill with the person they want to compare them self with.

Sometimes most of them don't even have a paying job which can give them something at the end of every day but they depends on what they believe can come out of gambling for survival, sometimes the money they use for gambling is what they were giving by other for their up keep, instead of putting that money into good use, they will have to gamble with it, the funny part is how most gamblers  make plans with money which they are expecting from games they think they will win but at the end when the game don't play ass they plan they becomes frustrated and devastated.

Since there is no such assurance in gambling, we must go through uncertainty. Expecting too much from an uncertain platform is nothing but foolish. For those who see the gambling platform only as a source of financial income, this will surely bring misfortune. Those who enjoying gambling rather than getting more from here will survive in gambling. How one perceives gambling is entirely up to them. Gambling will be known as a platform of enjoyment for those who follow the rules and can control their greed.

It is quite interesting how it is easier to see the negative effects of addiction when we look at it because someone else is having a rough time struggling. That is the main takeaway I get from OP's story.

Unfortunately, when someone is going down the path of any kind of addiction, it is not noticeable due to it being a slow process one gets used to (except when comes to very heavy drugs, behavioral addictions are a different category). Even though there are days I would rather not to read so many cautionary tales around here, it is always appreciated someone take the time to tell us about their personal experience, just hopping to see some positive ones eventually.

Thinking of casinos as a place to make money is a very wrong perception. As you said, we have to be responsible for our gambling, but that will never happen to people who are addicted to gambling and think casinos are money machines. We must be aware that casinos are companies that seek profit, their equipment is expensive and their employees must be paid, so it is impossible for them not to make a profit, and their profits come from the gamblers' losses.

So if we like gambling then play sensibly, if not then we will only give profits to them and in the end we will be the ones who go bankrupt.

Technically, We are playing in gambling because we think about having extra money by risking our own money on games. Unless you are just playing demo games or free spin then you really are not thinking about money when you go in the casino.

Thinking about profit when playing to the casino is not bad because that’s the goal on gambling to get the entertainment. It is bad when you are already relying on a casino to give consistent profit to and view it like a source of income.

That's right, gambling can't be a source of income so don't expect to get a lot from gambling. This thinking is really wrong, your loss here is bigger than your win. Yes, in the beginning you win but you don't realize that your losses become bigger than your wins.

For me, you made the right decision to quit gambling and congratulations because you got out of here before you were completely addicted to gambling.

To dive deep into gambling you need to keep millions because gambling only requires money. Gambling may or may not change your financial position so it should not be your first target. In my opinion you should quit gambling if you have accumulated big capital from gambling. I have seen some gambling sites that will let you win some games to lure you and lose when you bet big money. So those who do the best work are those who gamble while having fun, so I don't want to act like that. Not all money amounts can be gambled so you should only gamble with extra money.

I see no problem if someone that had a success inspired them, even in gambling. I'm also one of most people that got into gambling because someone who won inspired me, influences from friends who won is one of many reason. The problem only starts if they don't realize how different things are going with them, and there are a lot of trails to follow if you want to be that someone who won, like the amount of bet, how lucky you are, algorithm stuff, etc. There's no problem if someone inspired you in gambling, however one should realize that every one of us has its own path on many things.

One effect of gambling is addiction, no matter how high or low your stake is, the game itself is very addicting for all of us. It's a cliche to say, but I gotta say learn to discipline yourself in gambling or get caught in something disastrous.

We play because we think we will win. The thought of making money easily out of gambling is very cool to resist though. Just imagine yourself bragging to someone that you made money out of nothing but the courage to bet alone.

You just hope you win every now and then. It's not a career to pursue though so if you spend too much time on casinos, you might as well do your best to win. If you are not killing it, just find a job.

I think you have it correct. It will change your current financial status, it's just negative. That's the majority of results. Most of the time, people who are trying gambling and making themselves "addicted" to gambling and finding the time to "borrow" and make money, it's going to be a problem. You'll never know when they will stop and seize their gambling activities.

So you have people who are now just in gambling succumbed to it and is all negative. Did you try to talk to them and ask about what happened? Maybe it's not gambling that happened to them?

If you know that you could lose a lot, just stop. Have a budget and limit yourself with gambling.

While it is true that some people can get addicted to gambling, there are two problems with your explanation, one you are only seeing one side of the coin and two you are misplacing the blame, about the former, gambling creates a lot of jobs and taxes all over the world and makes it a very profitable industry to run, and about the latter, the majority of gamblers can do so responsibly and if there are gamblers out there that are unable to control themselves and bet too much they have no one else to blame but themselves.

Your tale today is more common than most realize. The draw of gambling and the notion that it can solve all financial problems make this a tale as old as time. But reality? A horrible delusion that depresses many. It was your experience to witness the catastrophe. Dreams and lives are crushed in this world.

Gambling: What Does It Do? It promises riches but causes devastation. It's a siren's call that lures unknowing victims and drains them. Player lives are devastated as the house always wins. Worst part? A vicious loop that's hard to break.

Your words are a strong message to young people. It's a sincere cry to avoid gambling. This world takes more than it offers, leaving destruction and misery. You're right—gamble carefully and don't make it your living. This route leads to ruin.

I think first of all there is a problem of mindset and this is the biggest challenge gamblers suffer and they end up thinking the problem is with the casino or the gambling site but fail to understand it may most likely be from them. Firstly changing the mindset of getting rich quick from gambling as that mind set is what get people to gamble wrongly and get their selves burnt.

Gambling I think is mostly for fun and if seen like this then it makes it easier and healthier for gamblers, have you noticed when the rich gamble they gamble differently from the way the poor gamble and they even end up more profitable from it than the poor do, this is because the make fun from it and not see it as a means to getting rich but when ever it turns in their favor they become richer.

But people who gamble because they want to get rich risk too much and end up sad when it doesn't favour them of which they should know they took more than necessary risk which have coat them the much bit cost them and probably their greed level also contributes to their risk appetite, don't be greedy, gamble for fun not to get rich and that way you will gamble better and not become miserable gambling

I have to admit that in reality this is the case and this only goes around here and there, where in the end it boils down to self-control and how to limit your gambling.

I am aware of this and indeed gambling never recognizes gender, class or anything else. However, gambling is a common activity for men and whether we realize it or not, the majority of people who participate in gambling are men compared to women. and in several places when you see a woman gambling, it seems strange and not in accordance with the style of women in general.

You want to go deeper on Topic...and how the song "...y OP se marcho..." (Latin American song, sorry), OP was not seen again on Topic/reply

First of all, the environment, both family and social, are direct influences on behavior to follow bad habits.

You must always remember that addictions come from any area, not just casinos or the so-called gambling issue, because if you are sick you do not need the refuge of a casino for this to be justified.

Young people today, more than advice, they need opportunities, economic well-being, accessible universities, good jobs, and even moments of leisure... maybe that they can bet.

No one is exempt from falling into any type of addiction, but as I mentioned, some are acquired by the environment, others are symptomatic, that is, you will become an addict sooner or later and neither the sociocultural level nor the fact that you have good intentions will save you. There are asymptomatic addicts who are the ones who can recover and lead a normal life with gambling in their environment.

But symptomatic addicts do not return, it is very difficult for them to get out of the addiction, anyone addiction, anyway, to determine if you are a potential addict, you don't have to find out by making thousands of bets and losing money, get an medical exam.

Yes, seen some of my friends as well getting ruined in just matter of months when they started to go into gambling, young or old. I think when they started getting involved, they really don't realized the extend of what gambling can bring to them. So even if they have a lot of money to gamble, it's not going to be enough unless you have like a source of unlimited wealth which is not going to happen.

But it's hard to advise them to be honest, we really can't. And the best thing that I can do is that when he ask me to go with him to gamble in land base casinos, I will just say No to him and maybe it will send him a signal that I don't like gambling, I just play to have some fun and not get addicted to him. Maybe just once or twice a month for me will do. But not like almost everyday that he wants to go and play online and land base casinos.

discussions like this are often discussed here, even some threads have discussions that are a bit similar to the bad side of gambling and yes, I do admit that what you say is true about gambling responsibly and avoiding the mindset of gambling as a source of income like other threads that provide content about gambling. responsibly and the third negative thing has become an addiction. but here there is also a thread about the development of online gambling, now with the development of online gambling, all advertising promotions seem to give an idea of getting very easy money from gambling and the bad side is that today young generation is too instant in their mindset of thinking that the advertisement will actually get them. money faster in gambling. so its not surprising that there are so many gambling addicts nowadays because this is one of the impacts of the development of online gambling which is easily accessible from anywhere.

in this concept it all depends on healthy principles and thinking about gambling and knowing how gambling works is one way to provide good control for the younger generation. if someone understands how gambling works they will never consider gambling as a source of income because the gambling industry is built to provide profits to its owners not to its customers. so it is very important here that anyone who wants to try to gamble better understand how gambling works before everything ends badly.

You made a mistake right from the beginning. You had the wrong mindset when joining gambling. If you have it in mind to improve your financial status when gambling, then you will end up spending everything you have on gambling. If you are after money in gambling, then you might end up losing everything. Even if you are making a little amount, you won't be satisfied, you will want to increase it. In the process of doing that, you will increase the amount that you are spending on gambling, and you will end up losing a lot. The more you keep on losing, the more you try to win back your loss.

Addiction is very bad, and I think that's one of the things that's killing most gamblers. If you are addicted to gambling, you will end up doing crazy things that a reasonable person won't do. Gambling addiction has pushed a lot of people into committing crimes just to get money to gamble. Some of them have starved themselves and their family members, and some do sell their properties just to make money to gamble. If you want to be a gambler and you want to enjoy yourself, then try to avoid gambling addiction.

There are many cases of people who suffer from old age and a lot of optimism, in the case of this type of people, I advise them to avoid gambling, because they will easily become addicted or will develop heart disease, also people who know that they have a lot of difficulties with pregnancy of money should never enter gambling, people who have already been addicted to drugs and alcohol should also never enter gambling, people with a history of being very violent should also not enter gambling. So there are people who should avoid gambling. most of the time some people may think that they are strong, that they will not fall into the wrong path when they enter into gambling, but they are people who ignore their history of negative things in their life and because of that they end up entering into gambling and destroying the whole their lives

For example, a case of a person who has problems with alcohol, this person was unable to save money and used everything they had to buy alcohol, this person was addicted to alcohol, but managed to go to the hospital and was cured. Therefore, these types of people should not gamble, because they tend to become addicted quickly, he was cured of alcohol addiction, but he would enter into another addiction, which in this case would be gambling addiction, and gambling addiction It will be worse than the alcohol addiction, he will sell everything he has to continue gambling and then when he realizes that he has lost everything, he will go back to the alcohol addiction, with that he will be left with 2 addictions.

Gambling isn't all bad as it has its positive and negative impact like every other thing on earth. Gambling becomes a problem when we use it as a source of income and not as a source of entertainment. Gambling is meant to be something we do for fun but the lacking of job opportunities in the world has made many individual without jobs to use gambling as a way to look for money and that's why it seems like the negative impact of gambling is outweighing other things.

Underage gambling is increasing because of gambling addition and people are losing their money and getting debts because of not been able to control their gambling addition. Gambling was just meant to be how we have fun and  participate in some friendly competition.

The whole talk about gambling being a source of entertainment is rather absurd to me because I believe anyone that actually gamble actually strive for two things which are
1. The feeling that you have actually won something
2. They do gamble because they think it can give them little earnings.

Those of us that let the habit become an addiction is actually also common Because you cant expect to be having the mindset of getting cash from gambling then what you always get is just hopes and then finally stories of people winning will just continue playing in your head and that's when the whole issue starts from.

I think this was your biggest mistake and I am wondering how did it come so far for you? Maybe you could share a bit more about your experiences and why you thought that gambling would make you rich. I also have been gambling for many years now, but I am not relying on gambling to change my financial status. For me and all my friends I know that have gambled in the past, it's a form of entertainment and not a form of making money. The casino itself is a company that needs to turn a profit, it's not like they can make all their customers rich. There will be some people who get lucky and get rich through gambling, but this is only a small part of the gambler community. The majority of gamblers will only make small profits or small losses. Like with most distributions, the tails will be very flat and expecting to be one of the lucky few is not a good idea. So, be happy about your wins just don't rely on them. Don't use any money for gambling that you can't afford to lose. Lottery is even a more extreme example, just because someone plays it every week shouldn't make him expect to become a millionaire soon.

Therefore, the mindset that must be emphasized is that gambling is just a game and nothing more than that. From the beginning, gambling was not very important and was considered an entertainment option to drop $10 a week or only once every 2 weeks. That's with the intention of spending it, not to double like people who try to hope for more than what they bet. So in this case it comes back to the placement of gambling for you or anyone, whether you take it seriously as a source of income or just a game to spend money.

The risks associated with gambling are substantial. I myself abstain from gambling because I detest it,possibly because of the way it was created. you incur greater losses than gains. I have a guy who is so dependent on gambling that he is unable to stop. I can recall that i assisted him in paying his school fees at the time he actually utilized them to gamble. If I didn't think I could assist him and he had no other way to raised the money, he would leave the school.

Do you believe that those who opened casinos were insane? It's difficult to win; your chances are slim, and even if you win, you would have to spend a lot of money before you win. Even when you strike it lucky and win for the first time, human avarice may prevent you from enjoying your winnings. Despite wanting to win more, you will nonetheless return the money and doing so increases your risk of losing more.

Of course, especially beginners who are new to gambling when they get a win they will assume it is very easy to get money just by gambling and hearing how to play gambling to get a big win they will get, on the contrary there will be defeats that they will feel in the game, to avoid defeat it would be better to play with the aim of having fun, gambling is just a game of losing and winning not a place for income.

Most consider gambling can provide wealth for them, even today it is not only young people who play gambling. parents or children also participate in gambling, especially in slot games or online-based gambling, many people think that gambling gambling is like a solution for them to increase their finances through winning which in fact is difficult and almost impossible for them to get. So remember once again, gambling is just a place to find fun, nothing more than that and there you can spend a little time, but definitely not to look for victory because the real negative impact will definitely befall if it comes with the wrong mindset. That's right guys, the fear is for those newbies who have just come, they have to see how other people's downfalls are due to the wrong mindset.

Not really, because some people gamble without thinking about winning the game or making money from gambling. They only spend a little time gambling and end it when they feel they have had enough gambling. They will not gamble for too long because they know it could cause problems for them. They only try to treat gambling as entertainment and will not get too deep into gambling to avoid problems such as gambling addiction. They also will not make gambling a habit because it will cause problems if they become addicted to gambling.

      -  Well, honestly speaking, gambling is not bad if it is done correctly or responsibly. It only becomes bad when it causes something bad in our personality, like having a gambling addiction; it's not good then, of course.

But if you can manage yourself in gambling, you will not lead to addiction, for sure, because you know yourself how to limit and control it, and for sure, you will not allow it to affect your family just because of your negligence in playing here in gambling. You should be limited in your gambling—not too much or too little.

The thing is, people, don't decide why they are gambling after they make up their minds that they will gamble, but they start gambling because they have already thought about what they want to achieve from it. So, someone who takes gambling as a way to earn money has already thought of different ways to earn money and they stumbled upon gambling and they decided that it might be the only way that can provide them with some quick profits in no time.

Those who take gambling as a way of entertainment have also decided it before they start gambling, they might have thought of different ways they can spend their time and they have decided that they will spend some money on gambling and have some fun hence they get into it and get out without any regrets even after losing the money.

Yes, I agree with your opinion, many people have been trapped in the world of gambling and it is difficult to avoid gambling addiction, just like drugs, many people play gambling in the hope of winning big, they use various tricks or patterns to get victory. But what is wrong is that because they are sure of the victory they will get, they do not realize that this gambling game is only for entertainment alone, they should think that gambling is only for entertainment and nothing more than that, because the risk of gambling addiction is very high, of course it will harm themselves and even their relatives and family can be affected. Then how to prevent it? As you said, they must have discipline or be able to control their emotions and desires by gambling. If they can control their emotions, then there will be little or no risk from gambling.

No matter how good they are at gambling, they will not be separated from the luck that will give them victory, so they must realize that this game is not separated from luck, patterns and tricks will not guarantee them to be able to get a big win.

You know we all have different opinions and approaches on how we take gambling and the way we play and enjoy the fun, but not to rely on such for our full dependency, in such scenario of the case of your friend, that is not good enough to make as decision, gambling shouldn't be our only dependent means of revenue generation.


Gambling is not to deceive people or discouraged them from the reality that it has it own advantage and disadvantages, when we gambles, we should know also that it's either we win or loose, gambling is just another way of subscribing to have fun on things we love to do with the use of our personal money, some managed to win while some couldn't, but that doesn't determine how far we should make our performance wether if we are winning or not while gambling.

Gambling was not made to enrich people. The motive of every business man or woman is to make profit. But in gambling you Don expect to make profit on regular basis. It's just a game of luck and shouldn't be concentrated as a line of business. Gambling always has the slogan that you should use your spare money. But people always put all there energy on it like there life depends on it.

Gambling is not really as you thought, excess of every thing is a problem. Many people became rich with it and majority were made poor with it. I sudjet that betting should be based on what you can afford to loose. Which will not affect your other investment.

Your perception is correct, and the problem is that most gamblers don't pay attention to that.
Beginner gamblers may be careful at the start. they may fail but they have more time to gamble and that will give the effect of enjoyment and ultimately addiction. they will keep coming with their money.

now for anyone who wants to gamble. Be wise in managing your finances when you want to gamble. although in fact we never know when we can lose control of the game.

Very few people become rich from gambling, most people become poor because of gambling and even go bankrupt and have a lot of debt. Gambling activities are very exciting, there is an exciting sensation when placing a bet and there is satisfaction when winning a bet. Maybe that feeling is what makes people addicted to gambling

But the funny thing about gambling is that we know that the chances of winning are smaller and the chances of losing are bigger, but we still gamble  ;D

As long as it is and many fact that if you see gambling as a door to depend on life is a mistake, and the calculation of losses will definitely be very swollen in finance speaking, no one can dodge it about it. It needs to be underlined what needs to be changed is the perspective of gambling and how to use it for your own happiness, and do it responsibly.

Casinos need to pay for workers, pay for operations and features available in the casino, this is a type of business, which also needs to take advantage for them to continue and it is obtained from the customer's deposit money, so the possibility to win is very small in Gambling, in addition to the expertise and luck that is the mainstay of gamblers, giving from home directly is one of the indicators to benefit. In an economic view, this might be silly when looking at people who play in gambling to get victory by bringing big money, but for those who only want pleasure, sometimes it requires great costs to make us happy.

I think it's not bad to expect to win more than your bet as long as you have a budget for it, just for me.
And it's really wrong if you think of gambling as a source of income, if this is how you think of gambling, I think you have a problem.

For the ones that gamble just for the entertainment value of gambling, even if their chances of winning are smaller this is not really a problem for them as they do not care about it, the contradiction comes from those that want to obtain profits out of gambling and have no reliable method to do so, those people should instead wait until they develop such a method, which in the majority of the cases it would mean those people never gambler again, however they simply assume that despite the odds being against them that things will turn out fine, and as you may guess they never do.

you are setting a bad example here mate. perspective changes from people to people and how they approach them. Your mistake was you approached gambling as a mean of income but not as a mean of entertainment. how did you get the thought that gambling can get you money for living? this kind of misunderstanding is the problem why people get addicted and why gambling milk them dry. it's every people's personal problem. how they approach gambling is how they will get treated by gambling.

only gamble with what you can afford to lose. something that won't affect your daily life or your whole life. this is why people make budget for gambling. they only use what they can afford to lose and which will never affect their daily life. so the thing is the main problem is lack of knowledge. people don't understand what gambling really is, and they don't follow the rules of gambling.

instead of telling people to stay away from gambling, share the knowledge. show them every good and bad side of gambling. that way they can choose whether if they want to gamble or not. or if they want to gamble how should they proceed.

Right 💡 Idea.
Gambling and betting in our country has gone to such a level that it is not only limited to the elderly but has spread to school, college and university students which is now a serious concern. In order to inform them about the dangers of gambling, the bad aspects of gambling must be conveyed to them and counseling should be done about the dangers of gambling in the society.
Moreover, another important step is to make the parents aware because if the parents are aware, they can take care of their children. If public awareness can be created about the dangers of gambling then it will be possible to reduce the addiction to gambling at the village and urban level.
Moreover, counseling should be done to maintain religious and social values and laws should be enacted to punish gambling severely from the government level.

Gambling in our country is already a criminal offense. so the government rule is already there, but people still do it. economic situation of everyone in our country is not that good, so they often try to find a way for earning quick money. and they focus on gambling most of the time. from a religious view as a Muslim gambling is not good. but there are other religion that people follow in our country. it's a mixed religious country so putting only one rules for everyone won't be a good idea. if you are a religious person then you must avoid it. but if not then people should know about the bad and good side of gambling. that way we can prevent people from getting addicted or making that decisions.

The thing about young people getting addicted to gambling is from the lack of knowledge. as I said before it happens because of people are searching for quick money. if we can somehow create opportunities for youngsters to make money other way, then this problem could be solved to some extent. but punishing them won't help that much. because self willingness is the key to avoid something entirely.

In my opinion, this is good advice, unfortunately, many of us don't care, whether the advice is good or bad, regarding the impact of gambling on us, sometimes we realize everything when we lose and lose everything because of gambling.

For me, everyone here is an adult, especially those involved in the world of gambling, of course they understand what is bad and what is good for themselves, the point is: We always remember to gamble professionally, meaning: separate gambling from real life activities, that each of us has responsibilities that must be carried out and carried out, gambling is allowed, the important thing is that we don't lose our common sense, there is a lot that must be done to achieve something useful for us without considering gambling as the main source in real life.

Think of gambling as a game, where in every game there are winners and there are losers, it's better if they think about it.

And here we are... many people start crying and cursing everything after losing in gambling. I guess we all wish to make some "easy money" with gambling, and sometimes we get lucky (some people can even get extremely lucky) but it's still gambling, there are no guarantees.

Gambling can have positive or negative effects, I would say all that depends on us... and only on us! We should know how much we can risk, and what odds we chase, we need to know that we can easily lose as we can win. If someone gambles only to win I would say that person is blind, and it will hit his head sooner or later. And that person can cry later, but it's all in vain. Before you decide to do something risky try to do it with open eyes, at least you will know what is waiting for you.

That's the problem with other gamblers, they tend to lose composure just because they are losing and they forget that gambling is a high-risk factor service. It's not like an investment or trading, here you either lose or win, no save points. That is why we cannot compare gambling with those industries that I said. In trading we could somehow pull out and save some of our money, in gambling, there is no such thing as that. There are only two ways to end, we lose everything or we win and cash out, that's if we are disciplined enough to do it.
I've heard a lot of cries here in this forum and outside, mostly in the chatroom of a gambling site but I am always curious on what they are thinking when they start to gamble. This business ain't a charity, they will take more as much as possible and would not even let you win especially in casino games. Sports betting is the key to a win. Yes, it's low profits but still a win.

Yes correct, very few becomes rich because mostly people who gambles only think straight that they need to gamble and win so that they can be easily to get rich. We should avoid that kind of thinking because it will only make us more addict and also will give us bad result in our finances. We should learn to manage our emotions towards gambling so we cannot go wrong.

So, what will be the right thinking when it comes to gambling if that should be avoided?
For me is, there's nothing wrong with that kind of mindset and I don't think that there's enough reason to avoid it. What people need to do is to make it easy every time they play. Remember that in every emotion you feel, your decision making and your body movement will react. It means that you might make a move that would make you lose like playing in a rush, wrong placing of bets and so on.

This gambling section is really useful, not only for knowing how to gamble responsibly but also for sharing their gambling addiction experiences. It's really insightful when someone shares their story, and it leaves us second-guessing of our choice about gambling. We learn about gambling and its effects from the stories shared by people who have gambled before or are still gambling. We need more people who share their experience with gambling because more gambling ads are legal than awareness against gambling. Movies, shared experiences, and news are the sources from which we know about gambling, so learn from them and be aware.

Gambling had their own positive effect because of the more win from the gambling site.The gambler can start the business in the real life from the money he had received from the gambling site.If the gambling money was huge like 6000$,So the gambler use fifty percentage of the money to the gambling.Use the remaining money again to the gambling site.If he is so lucky,he will get the biggest win again in the same game.But for the win,he should ready to take some risk in the gambling after the continuous loss.

No matter how hard you campaign to stay away from gambling, remember that it will never be successful, gambling is like fire - when you are able to control it then it becomes your friend but when you are not able to control it then it becomes an enemy that destroys your life, forever we will continue to be presented with cases of people who go bankrupt because of gambling as well as people who suddenly get rich because of gambling, i continue to encourage every gambler to be able to gamble responsibly, the effect of gambling without control is addiction and that is what actually becomes the enemy of many gamblers.

They start gambling because they are curious about what gambling is like without thinking about whether they experienced losses when they first gambled. And they also still don't know what to do but as soon as they see the gambling, they think of trying it one more time or several more times. And suddenly they get a win so they think they can get another win. They don't think that they can win because of luck and instead try to chase their winnings.

And if they use gambling to get entertainment, they can think about how long they will gamble and when they should stop. And they will not think about spending all their money at one time because they are not after winning but just want to get pleasure from gambling. They also try to reduce their gambling time if they feel that gambling has given them more losses than usual because they don't want to become addicted to gambling.

Honestly, this sounds like a fairy tale lol.
So, you're saying that someone who gambles expect something good to happen in his bets so he could start his own business? Well, I'm pretty sure many would become disappointed, because when you gamble you will probably have more losses than you win and how were you able to start your business if you keep spending your money in gambling?
If you want to start a business, go ahead and set aside some money intended to your business and the others are for your leisure including gambling.

What you're saying is impossible; you cannot call that positive effect if what you stated is not true. Maybe some achieve that, but not all, so keep on track with reality and stop giving such an idea that is good to be true. I'm not saying it's impossible, but don't engrave such an idea on the reader that sounds like a fantasy. Let's be real: even if you earn what you've said, it's not sure that he or she will use some of it for business. Not all people or gamblers are the same. "The more you win from the gambling site," that phrase is nearly impossible unless you have a lot of luck.

I agree with you, even though we are serious about gambling and are sure we will win, of course it is still very doubtful if we will succeed, because gambling is just luck, if we are lucky at that time then we will win. On the contrary, if at that time we are experiencing bad luck then we will lose, so it can be concluded that the results of gambling cannot be predicted, right?
And I also agree with your opinion that gambling is like fire, if we can control the fire it certainly won't harm ourselves, meaning if we can control gambling then of course we are farthest from the risks or impacts of gambling.

That's right, making gambling the only source of income is a big mistake because gambling has the risk that at any time gamblers can lose all their money and because of this risk gambling is very risky and it is not wise to make this a job. And even if someone gambles, they should gamble responsibly where they understand that their gambling activities cannot be haphazard and must be full of calculations to avoid the risk that they will lose all their money and worse that it could affect their relationship with their family.

Good response and I agree with all of this because gambling can only provide pleasure and profit for those gamblers with the ability to control themselves over gambling so they don't make fatal mistakes that result in ruin.
There are many gamblers who have experienced failure so that they always experience bad things such as losing all their possessions or even the destruction of their family life and all of these are the consequences of gambling.
If we talk about getting rich from gambling the only people who can get wealth from this industry are the casino owners who are the main actors in the gambling business and what gamblers get is only a small percentage of wealth because the most important thing is sense of pleasure and satisfaction.

I don't know what they will do when gambling but at least you and all of us on this forum always give good advice or suggestions that might be very useful but whether they want to or not all decisions are in their own hands because all the risks or impacts of their gambling will be feel it not us.

I know someone that spends more on gambling than for their family's needs. A bit funny but yeah that's the reality of my neighborhood. Lottery, cock fight and cara y cruz are some of those examples. I know that gambling is for entertainment purposes only but for them it's the way to get money aside from their full time job as a spearo. One time they even seek for help on social media to raise funds for their sick adopted child. Addiction on gambling could literally kill us if we are irresponsible. 😅

Is it just me or this topic title have already been used a couple of times here in the community, but still gambling and it's effect is something that needs to be emphasized more in the community because the toll of the effect are somewhat devastating and life threatening too but that's if only you see it as means of accumulating income while it should be the opposite of that. Gambling is pretty simple though, I mean if you are playing and making predictions on the account of enjoying yourself, I don't think you will be affected by any effect that it provides.

The problem nowadays as I have already said other times is that the economy is stretching and is not that good for a lot of people who rely only on a less than average salary and there are a lot of such people.They start gambling in order to relieve stress and thinking that if we hit anything it will be good.They are soon to be sucked into gambling addiction as they start digging for more information and they are bombarded by Youtube max win videos,so called "strategies" and other bullshit which are not real at all,that is the real problem we need to address.

This case is almost the same as several in my country and I am sure that almost all gambling addicts from lower middle class economies mostly do the same thing, especially if an unemployed person is not much different, they always consider gambling as a source of their income but in the end they actually end up fell into poverty because of that gambling and did not earn anything except losing a lot of money.

There are even worse stories, sometimes when an addict doesn't know how to make money anymore to gamble, he raises donations for one of his sick relatives, but he doesn't use the donated money to pay for his sick family in the hospital, but instead uses the money to gamble. Until it runs out, addicts who are crazy like that are hard to save, that should be a lesson to people not to be like that, gamble wisely so they can survive an addiction that can harm people around us.

Unfortunately many will still get milked out even more, and this includes readers on here, people are too addicted to gambling and they risk money they don't plan on losing to gamble, that's why they end up looking wretched, how come you are going down without you noticing where things went wrong?

That's because they still believe that there is hope left if they continue, and it's hurting them badly, this is something I can never do, I am very ambitious but not to the extent of gambling like someone who is hypnotized by a witch creature.

People don't listen to advice but that doesn't mean we will stop warning them, there are few people that cares about themselves and the decisions they make, we are doing this for such people, thanks for sharing OP, those who will listen will listen and those who wouldn't will look away and still do stupid things.

Of course, we all know that there are more losers than winners, the casino platform cannot keep up if there are more winners than losers but eventually, the winner here is the casino platform, but playing for fun and not expecting profit makes us a winner also.

Setting up a casino is a business it's not a cheap business and for them to recover their cost and continue to be operational they need more losers than winners if you're not comfortable with this fact then you better off playing games like a scramble or a game of chess but still it's hard to capture the excitement the casino is bringing.

You know, it's funny (not in a ha-ha way, but in an ironic way) how gambling can lure people in, especially those from lower middle class economies. When they see it, they believe it to be a quick and easy way to get money. However, as you've shown, it's frequently a one-way trip to more serious financial problems

And the story about misusing donations? That's just... I can't even. It is incomprehensible. However, it demonstrates the strength and devastation that addiction may cause. Not only is money loss at stake, but relationships are also harmed and trust is betrayed. Well, it's a cascade, isn't it? One poor choice resulting in more and more... How then can we break this cycle? If people decide to gamble at all, how can we make sure they gamble sensibly? Is it to do with more stringent rules? More public awareness campaigns? Undoubtedly, it's a puzzle that need solving

Don't take it as a source of income at all, discard the thought of it being a source of income cause it's not. The thought of it being anything near a source of income is what feeds the drive to source out money from it for our maintainance. You can hardly find a fault of addiction in the life of a person that discards the mentality of gambling been a source of income, the reason is that for these sets of gamblers whether they get a win or not they're cool with it to try again another day but contrary to gamblers that takes gambling as income source they are known for loss chasing which can cause addiction. So they don't mind looking tattered and unkept just to use their last cash to gamble for the day.

Well, you know, for most people into gambling, this kinda hits home. But the whole idea of not depending on gambling for your cash is basically to keep people from losing their shirts, especially those who aren't exactly pros at it. So, let's say you're one of those people who's got the skills and can show you're a winner in the gambling scene. Would you still be like, "Nah, I'm good, I'll pass on the easy money"?

We all like advancing people to gamble responsibly but it's not that easy for many people out there, some people are better off with gambling, they are the type that get addicted to anything they do, such people have to stay away from gambling because no matter how hard they try to gamble responsibly they will go off the safe route and cross the boundary, especially if they are winning more often than they used to.

More winning can trigger gambling addiction in such people than others, the truth is addiction is addiction and no one is special when it comes to fighting addiction, even if you lock an addicted gambler in a strong cell for many years, how about the mind? They can just start feeding the habit in person, which is why I believe that stopping gambling addiction starts from your mind.

You have to reject gambling from the mindset, and your actions will stay off gambling, whatever a human plans to do comes from the mind first, the rest is base on time to carry out the action, it can be in seconds, minutes, hours, or even years.  

Well, this is exactly what many of us have always advocated for. personally, I have always been of this believe that gambling was not invented to become a major and source of income to any one, people just find it easy to abuse stuffs as gambling.

Even the casinos do not advertise gambling to be a source of income for gamblers, but rather, they advertise gambling to be a creational type of entertainment, which means that, gamblers are supposed to take gambling as an entertainment, not a source of income.

Its just like we do with video games where we sometimes spend money for in-app purchases just to boost our gaming experience, we pay for this in-app purchases without expecting to gain any monetary value in return, that is same way we are supposed to treat gambling, but unfortunately, several of us, out of greed for money, end up taking gambling as a source of income there by getting addicted to it.

Yes, every gambler definitely has thoughts like that, using gambling to get rich, even if they fail, they will keep trying until they get the results they expect, but they don't realize that they have spent too much money just to chase their losses, a gambler's attitude that I don't like. is when they continuously chase losses but always get zero results, gambling cannot be used as a source of income, let alone to become rich. The only ones who are getting richer are those who have gambling businesses who will continue to siphon money from their users until they run out if they can't controls themselves. Of course, as you said this will have a bad impact on their lives and financial condition.

The important thing is that we have provided useful suggestions for them. If they can't do it, that's up to them because they should be responsible for themselves when gambling. And we also can't force them to follow what we suggest because they have their own desires.

Getting more wins can trigger gambling addiction because they will think that they can win one more time. But that doesn't guarantee they can win the next round, so they must be aware of what they are doing. And if they are already addicted to gambling, they will not be able to realize that it is too late. But even if they realize too late that they are addicted to gambling, they can still reduce their gambling addiction.

That's why we have to manage our thoughts so that we don't think about gambling all the time, especially if we realize that we have other things to do.

Most people consider gambling as a livelihood which leads them to addiction. We all know that gambling addiction is no joke, especially if you win large amounts. You are always looking for busyness, excitement. If you don't have self-control, you will lose everything.

I met people who gambled away their rent, literally risking the last dollar and $10 they had on one more bet. You must have complete control when gambling, with wise emotions and impulses.

Go with an amount that if lost won't hurt you, never go to an atm, that's a setup. I always tell people if you don't gamble don't start, it's a bad habit to stop if we can't control ourselves.

The same thing could be said with trading though. It's not really a gamble per se, but you can gamble on what to invest and still possibly hit it big. It's all a matter of how you understand and do it imo. Not realizing that gambling is an entertainment activity is the problem, not gambling itself.

100% agree. This ideology was something I've always remembered whenever someone complains that gambling is wrong or something. No, it's not, and if it actually is, then literally every single thing that we pay for to entertain ourselves would then be wrong. Gambling os to have fun, to entertain, this is regardless of you have the possibility of hitting it big or not. I mean you're not a genius, so the idea that you can hit it big in gambling surely wasn't an idea that originated from you, hundreds of thousands probably had the same idea and do you hear those thousands in the news about hitting it big? Probably not.

Any addiction is no joke, but when you refer to winning big amounts and how it is bad, do you mean that it can hook someone and lead them to believe that they can win more? They then play until they lose it all and actually go beyond their winnings and use their private savings to gamble, which is true then. But sometimes a big win can also lead to an unexpected fortune, which is of course the tricky part here as those are the people who spread the message about their luck and how it changed their lives while those who became poor due to gambling are those who will be silent and silenced forever. It is bad and I think a curing event could be if someone loses lots of money very early as a person when it doesn't affect life long term. It could be a lesson learnt in the right moment.

I haven't seen this on crypto casinos yet, maybe they do it too but most of them have provably fair in many games so maybe it is not the case but in the fiat world there was a scandal where casinos made people win, or even if they lost gave a lot more back when they first ever start.

This allows people to realize that they win as much as possible and even when they lose they do not lose much because they get a lot of things back. The reason was exactly what you assumed, the early times when you first start to gamble is when you are most vulnerable to manipulation, and they end up doing things that are not all that easy and causes you to be a lot more far off with things like this and should be considered very important to change in the end. So you shouldn't be fooled by early wins.

I've seen a lot of people still go broke after they win big. Some people win big and they keep spending it recklessly so they turn out broke after a few months as they still gamble and what's worse is that they bet bigger than they used to bet as they thought they could win more. That is where the greediness starts to kick in followed by addiction to gamble every day. But there are still people who win huge amounts of money and they manage it well and even quit gambling because they think that the casino will kind of get all the winnings they have.

Yeah, you are right, mate, but the majority of gamblers (probably like 90%) are only gambling for the purpose of earning from it and not to have fun. Later today, a friend of mine told me that a lady gambled off more than $300 in a local casino shop that's close to my area. According to my friend's story, the lady was a delivery agent who came to deliver some goods to her customer but just decided to go gamble and make some extra money from the casino, but she totally lost all the money she brought to gamble with and still did an extra transfer to the cashier because she spent all the cash she had on her. The part of that story that shocked me was that the woman was married because she had a wedding ring on her hand and was even old enough to have had kids, and my question is, what if it was the money that was supposed for the family or the business she came for? Some people are just drawn to the effects of gambling.

Most of gamblers would really be that ending up on the same fate because of having no control towards themselves on which it would really be resulting that kind of motive or intent which it would be pushing even more for them to play despite of those conditions that they are in greens but suddenly it would really be that becoming red or losing entirely to the winning that they had get because they have lost their control and molding up that kind of greediness inside on which it isnt something that recommended in the first place. If you do really make yourself that not that much minding about
spending money back despite on being positive just for that leisure thing or entertainment then it should be fine but on the time that you are already that going further just for the sake of income making or making more wins then this is already a sign of addiction.

Gambling could put up significant effect if you arent really that good on handling yourself towards your emotions and mindset towards it. If you do aim on becoming rich
then it cant really be removed that you would really be making those common mistakes on which gambler do really be able to commit on.

That's right, because gambling is not bad as long as you have good intentions as to why you gamble. The intention is good in terms of not thinking that this is a good job to get income; of course, that is not what is meant to be said. Although it becomes a tool to do evil to a person.

But I don't think gambling itself is really bad, because why do other gamblers gamble for a long time, but they don't become addicted to it, but they actually become responsible? They know how to control themselves inside casinos, which means they also know when to stop gambling.

Gambling in its state is neutral, it will look bad when someone abused it and failed to control themselves in spending money to it.  Gambling is created to entertain, so in its goal is to make people have fun.  It is a positive goal but people who tends to lose their footings and discipline by overspending to the point of getting loans and buried in pile of debt make gambling industry the culprit which in fact it is the player's fault.


I agree, gambling itself is not bad, the bad thing is the greediness of the gamblers that in aiming to have a huge win, they spend their wealth trying to get that huge win until they succumb to their goal and become addicted to gambling.

Of course you can find an example for any phenomenon you can think of. A poor guy becomes rich, and goes broke. A rich guy becomes broke. A rich guy goes broke, becomes rich again and goes broke again. We would think that the last guy should have learned his lesson when he first went broke and then had his money back, but I think is a strong indicator of someone being addicted. It is when they don't learn their lesson despite getting a second chance by luck. Like someone gambling and going broke, then win the lottery 1 year later being back where he came from financially, and then gamble until everything is gone again.

This happens surprisingly often, as a person that had a lot of money before they began to gamble will simply have too many chances to win big, compared to a gambler that only uses a small amount of money when they gamble, so even as those wealthy gamblers are going broke they can still get a lucky break and recover the money they have lost, but at that point they cannot leave gambling behind and instead of learning from the experience they keep betting, and this time they lose everything they had for good.

Those that take gambling as a means of income will not even notice that they are looking tattered because, they are carried away by their emotions and they are always chasing their loss because they think that, it is through gambling that they will make it in life.

This is the mistake that people who are starting gambling for the first time put in their mind, to make profit and they would not know that they are walking on the road to addiction. Gambling is a means of entertainment and when you see it from this point of view, you will hardly come up with decisions and actions that can make you become and addict, because you will gamble responsible and enjoy the fun in gambling.

When a person win huge amount, they became complacent in spending the money because they do not work hard to earn it.  They failed to value the amount of winnings and just buy anything without planning because they did not spend a lot of sweat to gain the money.  Aside from that, many gambler think that they can duplicate the event when they won a huge amount of money, or they are aiming to.  As a result, they tend to spend more money and start chasing wins which we all know is devastating if not kept in check.

People who won huge amount of money from gambling often don't know financial management so they often wasting money on non-essential things which in result make them broke again.

In being very different because when I play I am very careful, in general what I do is make sure I don't spend a lot of money, because otherwise I run out of many things, that is the only thing that the game does to me, for that reason I hardly I play with everything I have, because otherwise I couldn't do things well and money is the only thing that is needed most for everything, so I don't take risks, I think that sometimes players start concentrating only on the game and forget of life, of its expenses, of the most important things, and that is very bad, you cannot lose control. To avoid losing control, the best thing is to put everything into a percentage of playing in a casino so that it does not affect our economy.

The important thing need to understand in the gambling is the gambler start the gambling with the little money.But some people doesn’t ready to calculate the outcome from the gambling,the gambler should calculate the loss of profit for every betting in the gambling.The gambler should keep the spreadsheet for the every betting in the gambling.So they understand the total amount of the dollars used in the gambling,it help the gambler to pause the gambling after the continuous loss in the gambling.Some people not ready top risk their money in the gambling,So such people can use the other game for the entertainment compared to the gambling.

Your idea is very true but doesn't apply to everyone, there are people who literally waste the money on things that are not necessary or their wants, they just spend the money lavishly and get broke again, return to the casino with hope to win again. But then there are some who spend the money well regardless of the fact it wasn't an hard earned money they are still meticulous with how they spend it.

Gambling it self causes no harm to the society but the attitude of some gamblers turns out harmful to the society, there are gamblers who are very responsible and cause no harm to the society meanwhile there are some who are menace to the society due to their habit which have turned addiction, they cause voices to sponsor their addiction.

Money won from gambling should be used judiciously as it could become very beneficial to the gambler if used well, huge sums could be used to establish their selves and reduce their dependency on gambling, it can also help relief some instant expenditure which would have taken some more time to fix, but in all gambling responsibly and spend your winnings responsibly aswell.

You are still taking risks if you are gambling, in your case, you are just minimizing the damage by only betting what you can afford to lose. Many gamblers do have the same kind of strategy as you. I do. I am not betting as high as $1 when it comes to casino games, I do it only on sports games because I have a higher chance to win there using deep analysis. In casino games, you can instantly lose all of it because the house will always win there and you cannot get away from it. No gambler can because it's written in their system and I believe all those who have been betting for a long time know it too.
It is true that there are more important matters to attend to and that's the best kind of mindset that we should have. We cannot dive into gambling and never float to the surface again, just keep it as a way to entertain us and not eat us in the long run. It's just a game with an added risk, keep it that way.

What you say, is a step that is usually rarely done by gamblers. in fact, I didn't. but what is certain is that there is nothing wrong with the points you convey in this post. Most importantly, this can make you control the gambling you do and that can make you much better. For me personally, basically currently gambling is a type of instant entertainment among society in the modern era. BTW, my current understanding is different from my understanding when I was young.

Now, gambling can be considered fun entertainment in the midst of our busy routine activities. In short, ideally gambling should be treated like an entertaining game. However, it is important to remember and understand that this type of entertainment contains risks. As technology develops over time, and technology advances rapidly, so does our level of understanding of something. if we don't have a broad understanding, in this context gambling, then as the OP said in this thread. gambling and its impacts, but it doesn't include anything positive that we can certainly take away. However, this depends on our perspective on gambling itself, and our own definition of gambling. and what is certain is that everyone has different ways and points of view.

Let's just discuss it straight to the main point, which must be understood by those who are interested or who like to gamble. In essence, this entertainment contains quite a variety of risks for each fan. So, whatever we say, talk about, discuss, it all comes back to ourselves and how we play gambling and how we treat it. in particular, so that the impact of negativity does not affect our lives.

For that purpose, we can look at the transaction history on our gambling account. We can find out how much money we have deposited and withdrawn so we can compare which one is bigger. If the deposit amount is greater than the amount of money we withdraw, we may experience losses more often. And if that happens, we really have to reduce the amount of money deposited so that we don't experience even bigger losses.

Maybe we should also get this clear and for once, your fund deposited on the casino should be only meant for gambling and not that you're using your casino wallet as your main wallet for making transactions, when you deposited to your casino wallet, you're putting in that such fund is best used for gambling, you less care about winning or not than the purpose the money will serve you, there are both the positive side of gambling and the negative effect, what we choose determines our experience while gambling.

Everybody usually uses the funds deposited in the casino only for playing there and rarely I know people who have been into crypto for a long time to use a casino wallet to make transactions,that would not make a whole lot of sense.

Normally everybody when deposit some funds usually deposit them to play them in the casino but the parting point of successful people and not is what they do when they lose all these balance,the successful ones stop there and wait for another deposit to try again while not successful persons deposit more in the same time to lose more chasing loses.

Just always remember in doing things, we must take accountability and we need to be responsible in doing all of it including gambling. We see legitimate worries and concerns from people who don't really gamble because they see the side effects of it from those gamblers who are not aware of its effect. It's nice to see people like them that have genuine concern because all they want is the best for everybody. But also, actual and real gamblers know what's best for them and they're all aware that gambling could do good and at the same time bad things for them if they ever allow some negative thoughts from them. The ones who have experienced bad things with gambling can simply quit and forget about its existence. But can't stop the ones that are also still optimistic about it and can't stop themselves in doing so because they're enjoying it and are not removing the fact that they can win some bucks through it.

It is just a fun activity. If you are addicted with it, it is because of your mentality and attitude. Even if there was no gambling, you will stuck in some other thing if you have same attitude. Gambling should not be seen as source of income by any person.

Yes and also there is nothing wrong with calculating the money we have deposited since we first started gambling, there is nothing wrong because by checking the transaction history you will be able to find out how many deposit and withdrawal transactions you have made while there, honestly in my opinion you will most likely be surprised when you see that the number of losses is greater than the winnings, it's not always like that but usually in gambling you will forget a few defeats and then continue to make deposits and you will remember it or find out when you look at the transaction history that you have done there.

As you said, if indeed the number of your greed transactions is much greater than the winnings then one of the things to do is to reduce to save the budget to your gambling wallet, nothing but that is just to minimize so that your losses are not getting bigger, but on the other hand you can still gamble even with a small budget, it doesn't matter because the victory cannot be predicted and if you are lucky you will definitely be able to get the victory, so I think it's better to consider again to make the number of deposits.

most gamblers are very well aware of what they are doing up until they are not. once they start going deep and out of control with their gambling habits, that's when they will be having trouble as they won't contain their activities anymore. they have other goals and for them, they won't stop up until they get. the sad reality is, they won't get back those losses anymore. so if they won't realise what they are doing to their life, they will be on the brink of self-destruction.

When people start to gamble they don't think what will happen if they lose their money. This mostly happens with those who are new in gambling and they have not experienced any losses yet. They have an illusion that gambling is a money making process and what ever they will gamble, the luck will be on there side and they will always win.

Soon they realize that all these things are just falsely told to them, the gambling is the most painful process of making money. You have to be patient, you have to bear the losses, you have to control your ego, your greediness and then someday you will make a life changing income from gambling.

The gambling addicted people most get addicted to the gambling because of the continuous loss.The emotion of the gambler key play for the continuous loss,the gambler should try to get keep their emotion away from the gambling betting.Some time the gambler can recover the loss,but many times the gambler can’t recover the loss because the emotion will handle the gambling betting.So he should create their own strategy to the game.Once the strategy to the game works for the gambler,he will made the big win in the same gambling.This will help the gambler to recover life time loss in one win.So don’t worry for the loss in the gambling.

Good observations and to add to what you have said about the negative effects of gambling I would say that they are even worse negative effects gambling has than you have mentioned. What even pains me the most is that it is the younger generation, the millennials that are hooked on this addiction and it doesn't seem like we are stopping anytime soon.

On the internet gambling is glorified and the effects of it is toned down this is the world that we live in. The best anybody can do for himself is to talk to gamblers around them who are addicted and find a way to help them.

This will be useful for us so that we can find out how much money we have used for gambling and check it in our account in the transaction history data to see it directly. We also have to compare the difference between deposits and withdrawals to see the status of our wins and losses to decide what to do. If we lose more, we should immediately adjust our game by limiting time and money. And even though our winning amount is bigger, we also need to manage and limit the time and money because otherwise, we might experience big losses.

Yes, saving money on a gambling wallet is a way to minimize the number of losses to reduce subsequent losses. Of course, this will be useful for us because the use of money will also definitely be reduced. We can still gamble and enjoy the fun, and reducing the time we gamble is also useful for having more time to do things that benefit us. Apart from that, we can also divert our minds from gambling so that we will not experience gambling addiction.

Talking about the negative and positive sides of gambling, I think gambling itself is more or less neutral because gambling in it self really does nothing to anyone, it basically an act when overly indulged in will become addictive and the addiction is the problem not the gambling itself, gambling in itself was ment for entertainment and fun but because you can earn from it some persons get addicted.

It's common with almost every form of entertainment, when continually indulge in you may most likely get addicted to it, it's positive effects can only be experienced if done in the sense it was ment for which is entertainment, after which other effects results from the habit of the one who indulges in gambling, but then as always advised gamble responsibly, if you find yourself to be an addict pron person, avoiding gambling is very much advised aswell, but if you are strong willed and can go with the entertainment part of it then it's fine.

They can't take back losses yet they are chasing it. That's really hard to comprehend when you're too focused on the possibilities that you can and for that reason, many gamblers can't do that much with it and that's why they keep going on, especially the most addicted ones. There's like several reminders from other people on what they should do but they can't accept it when they're thinking of how to recover the most losses that they have made. Even if we say that it's easy to quit and that's all they need to do but when their mindsets are all fixed, they cannot help themselves either.

Not everyone has that heart but God bless those that have one. It's also hard to find one that's addicted because many want to keep it private and shy to let others know of what they're dealing with as they don't want to get exposed that they're dealing with that problem.

Most of the time if their families and friends are decent people who have no interest in gambling or something like it, they are shy to open up and keep their problem to themselves once they get addicted but in reality, they really need a second person to advise them or to talk with their problems and how to find a way to get out from it. thankfully, if you can afford to go to some expert about it, you can always watch some motivational videos regarding how to be a productive person and cut all sources of addictions. If you work by yourself, surely you will progress and eventually see a good result after it.

Something that most gamblers do really have that kind of behavior on which tending out to chase up losses as if it could really be that ending up on positive always or something that getting in line with their intent.We do know that this is where people do really mess up with their lives on the time that they would really be that making such bad decisions because of being that impulsive.Its never been that a recommendable behavior specially on gambling field on which making yourself that too impulsive and making out decisions which it would really be making things to be more that complicated. The main key on here is to make yourself that responsible when it comes to gambling dealing so that you wont really be finding yourself to be that addicted because if you do such thing then you would really be messing up your life with.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible. It do really just turn out that people would really be that having that kind of main problem on the time
that they do make out bad decisions because if this one turns out to be handled up well then you wont really be making yourself finding on a tough situation since everything
is really that under control.

Not only chasing win to recover losses but also chasing huge wins.  Many gamblers are not satisfied with just a small winnings.  Most gambler tends to aim for 1000x or more so they don't bother winning 100x and keep on continuing until they either lose all their bankroll or hit their target winning multiplier.


I highly agree, once under the effect of these chasing, it is more often that a person will end exhausting his bankroll and at the same time his reserve funds because he will not stop until all his money is exhausted.


People got problems with gambling because the lose their control over their bankroll and finances.  Losing in gambling won't be bad if we only allocate money that we can afford to lose but most of gamblers who get hooked in their gambling activities spend more than what they can afford to lose.

The first thing that comes to their mind is that they'll be humiliated when they tell and admit that they're gambling addicted. And even without the addiction and just plain gambler, there's already the judgment on the minds of the people that will hear that.

Those who can avail an expert, can easily getaway with it through their guidance. The motivational videos and words that will come from will sink into their minds on what's the right thing that they should do.

This is hard IMO, if you are on your own and you're trying to work on yourself and try to defeat addiction it's going to take time or possibly that you can't just beat it. But if you're able to do that on your own, that's so much better and don't think about the money that you'll save from hiring experts to guide you but think of it that you're motivated and strong and manage to overcome that hardship because not everyone can do that based on how I've seen the other gamblers dealt this problem. It's just so many gamblers that can't do that honestly.

Out of the family circle friends will also be helpful. Either from school or outside. But since the pandemic happened, the younger generation lacks those types of friends and most of them are online friends only. But, it's still good to point out that this kind of relationship may help them get through addiction or they will be the ones informing the relatives of the gambling addict that he is in trouble.
Thankfully, we are going back to the normal ways, my kids today have a lot of friends in their school and they love talking now. More energetic, and don't use their smartphone as much as they did back when we were locked in the house.
Like I said, these friends of theirs will somehow become a part of their life and who knows if one of them will be their best friend and in case of trouble they will be the one who will inform us what is happening with our son/daughter.

People like you who participate in betting on gambling platforms to change their financial situation are in the worst situation in life. Gambling should never become an addiction. Gambling should be taken as pure entertainment. Although we take this gambling as entertainment, we still expect to earn here. Many people get addicted to gambling in the hope of earning more. But thankfully you quit gambling before it became an addiction. If you had continued with this gamble from here, your future would have been completely destroyed. Gambling is a very bad pastime if it becomes addictive. Gambling should always be taken as entertainment otherwise you will suffer at any moment.

At least you yourself was lucky enough to give your self that advice that what you are doing is really not right and gambling is not what you should put all your hope and trust on as a source of income because you will end up losing that little that you think you have that could have been sustaining you while you look for better job elsewhere and add up to support your home.

You friends never had that chance that you have and maybe never also never had who will advice them to make the right decision which will put them in the right track, and now they have giving up on life and have failed to embrace opportunities that could have actually helped them in life to obtain that thing that they truly think gambling can give it to them.

Why you can just do for them is to use your self as a testimony and advice them to leave gambling and look for something better to do, most of them might have skills which they can put into good use and start making money for them self and limit the way they visit the gambling shop.

I see a lot of people blaming gambling for all sorts of things in this thread, but I think it’s also important to have some personal responsibility and accountability for your own actions. The fact is if you want to be irresponsible with your money there are a million ways to do it, but at the end of the day it is you that makes the decision whether or not to risk your money.

Gambling addiction is absolutely different from getting engaged in gambling and still be able to take total control of how one's gambling activities. Gambling addiction will surely make anyone who's suffering from it regret why he ever engaged himself in gambling.
Getting addicted in gambling will definitely ruin the affected person's life and that's why it's advised that anyone who can't control his emotions when they're losing as well as when they're winning should never get involved in gambling.

You make a very, very solid point, I think. Gambling is what it is all about. It's a very complex industry, isn't it? We've all seen it, including me and you. Individuals succumb to the temptation of rapid financial gain, and before they realise it, they've gotten deeply involved. Not only is money important, but so is hope, excitement, and the dream. Yet at what price? For what price?

Your friends, they didn't have the guidance, the advice, the wake-up call that you had. It is quite depressing. They lost out on genuine opportunity to succeed and establish themselves. But here's the thing, the actual thing: As the guiding light, the beacon, or the change, you can be. Make use of your testimony, experience, and tale... Prove to them that life has so much more to offer. They are capable, gifted, and have potential. All they have to do is perceive it, accept it, and take action. Thus, take charge, take the lead, and be the voice of reason. And do you recall, casinos? Never the answer, not the answer at all. With each choice we make, let's restore greatness to life

Of course it different but person who is only involved in gambling and can still fully control gambling activities does not guarantee that he can continue to control it because in the future there is definitely chance of becoming gambling addict unless he can stop and really look for activities other more positive activities.
It is impossible for anyone anywhere to be able to control gambling in the long term because there will be a boring phase resulting in crazy desires such as getting big wins and chasing jackpots to satisfy their desires.
It nonsense if there are gamblers who don't have the desire to win big or get the jackpot.

We know that the impact of gambling is very bad and there are always suggestions for us to continue to control or have limits on every gambling activity but all this is not a guarantee and if you really want to be free from the many impacts of gambling then there is only one way, namely to stop and leave gambling and never come back.

Gambling should indeed be a subject of careful consideration. It's clear that this isn't a suitable avenue for a primary source of income due to its high risks and the difficulty of constantly relying on luck.

Engage in gambling with elegance, where the funds used are genuinely discretionary, sourced from passive income, or income that doesn't disrupt your daily activities or financial stability. This represents a responsible approach to gambling. At the very least, when you face losses, you won't end up in dire financial straits, ensuring you maintain a stable and comfortable life.

While the industry can be detrimental for some, we can also extract a positive aspect from it in terms of its potential psychological benefits, which might serve as a source of happiness to mitigate stress. Everyone has their own unique ways of coping with stress.

There is no doubt that when we take everything into account the gambling industry is a net positive for society, as not only it creates a lot of jobs, taxes and it brings a great deal of joy to the majority that choose to gamble as a source of entertainment and as a way to relieve their stress, however it is also undeniable that in a few and specific cases it can be terrible for some people, which is why politicians over the past hundreds years have tried to ban it, a mistaken decision without a doubt as regulation should be the way to go and it seems this is the posture many countries are taking now.

The gambling is fine when treated as a game, the idea you have easy riches without any real risk or drawback is false but not unique in that illusion.  Theres a thousand places and adverts that want to sell the dream of easy riches and success and anything you want, you dont even have to try or apply much effort just buy in and its a win.  Believing adverts are real like is the problem really, it wont be gambling only that causes a problem if believing every advert is without some counter or small detail within the offer.   I see everything from cars to carpets I have to look closer at the details of the advert or offer, bigger danger with gambling is unlimited element to it I suppose.

The gambler should consider the gambling as the game and the most of the gambler want to get rich using the game.Their was possibility to get rich using the gambling site,the easiest way to achieve this was by the sports betting and specially on the football.The gambler should ready to stake the big amount of the dollars to get the big money from the gambling.The dreaming gambler should ready to take the risk of the money,I had come across some of the thread where some people recently get huge by staking in football game.So it’s important to take risk in the gambling for the good life in the future,the risk only give you huge winning.

Gambling as an act can never be a source of income, one thing I observe about people playing gamble in my area, they don't have a job and all there focus is on playing bet, bro that's a wrong impression very wrong one. In as much as gambling is not for the weak, gambling is not also for the poor. The most funny part about gamble, people are abusing it and they're giving the wrong impression. Why will a young boy or man with no good job play gamble and expect gambling to give him wealth.
I know most people saying gambling is not for the weak and if you're not strong don't bet, that's a lie. When investing your money on something you're expecting a profit but rather no profit, trust me it pains a lot truth be told it pains a lot, in summary gambling is not for the poor.

Well, aaar games for many have different ways of thinking, in families they are not so well accepted, I think it is because they have a way of being very traditional and therefore they do not accept this type of activities with good regard, however when I have seen to family like that, it's something that doesn't really fit me, because I think people have to adapt to the fact that life is very different now than it was before, and basically when people stick only to a Czech lifestyle when they become You have to mix with others to see how they can exchange ideas, that is, if there is an activity that you do not develop and do not see well, it is not very accepted, things and customs of the person change as life goes do it faster, with more activities, that's why I think that the families that are less complicated are the ones that accept things without having to do a lot of research, so in this order of ideas, I think that the best ways to leave everything behind and leave to think like grandparents and accept that there are entertainments like casinos and that does not mean that they are very bad, or that they are bad practices.

Casinos as well as other activities do not mean that they are Demonic things, as one day a lady told me that bitcoin is too, something that left me speechless, however, I Respect her and well, I didn't tell her more, he said no, that's it. They are myths that people invent, but well, I still know that with these types of things, eproans are very Carried away by the things that others say, and in general they are not good, for many caisnso I want to say that these are practices that They can go for addicted workers, and whoever is going to enter a casino is likely to become addicted and lose or could lose everything, I think that is also a lack of security because things are not like that at all, it can happen that As time goes by, people will adapt to this, as well as new technologies and the traditional economy will stay there and they will have to accept everything Related to bitcoin.

It is not supposed to be for people whose economical situation is not stable, right. But that does not mean they will quit doing it.
Actually, there was a time here in my country when we were going through and pretty bad economical recession, and it sparked a huge fever for gambling all around the country.
Animal Roulettes, which is a popular gambling game here, started to appear in every corner and there was people gambling everyday, amounts as low as 0,50$.

It is something I did not read about, it was something I witnessed, it was quite a sad situation and many suffered, I wish from the bottom of my heart your or anyone in your family goes through it.   :(
Because of it, I learn there must be some correlation between bad economical times and the need for gambling.

They do that because they think gambling solves their problems, so they keep gambling instead of looking for work. This is a normal thing, but it needs attention from the local government to give them the understanding that what they need is work, and it is hoped that the local government can open up jobs for them. But this is not easy because the government must also look at various things and calculate how many workers can be accommodated.

If you don't have strong self-control, you should not gamble because otherwise, you will lose a lot of money. Perhaps you wouldn't have thought you had lost that much money because you were just gambling without thinking about how much money you used. They gamble instead of investing because they can make a profit if they invest in the right things.

The misplaced priority in some gamblers who have come forward to complain about the negative impact of gambling is what have made it much harder for them to cone out of whatever situations that they are in, because having the thought that, to be making a life-changing wealth from just one bet is a way too much desire that will end you in a position where it may become hard looks impossible to survive out of and at the most time lead you into another higher degree of risk entirely, this is why, is most important to understand the fundamentals of gambling which are just for fun.
And we should avoid using an amount that we can't afford to lose at some point along the line regardless of how we feel about the bets

Indeed. We gamble only with free money, it means when we have excess money. It is impossible for people who have unstable financial, they even have not enough money to fulfill daily necessities. Gambling mustn't bother the main money for urgent needs or daily necessities.

What do you mean by fever for gambling? Do people stop gambling immediately because of the recession?
When our country in a bad economic condition, it is normal that many people stop gambling. They probably gamble again when the economic situation is getting better.

What you have learned exactly, brother?
The bad economic situation must always bring bad impacts to the people. But it will make the people be more careful to manage their money. When the economic condition returns to the normal again, people will have a better financial management. They will know how much the ideal money for gambling, they may not gamble excessively again.

We are participating in gambling activities so frequently that it has become an addiction. Surname, it is easy to fall into depression or regret after spending money on gambling and suffering from health problems related to stress, migraines, digestive disorders, insomnia... Gambling addiction causes severe financial consequences, damages the addict's relationships, and even ruins the person's career and life. Most people who are addicted to gambling only realize their problem when some severe consequences or damage have occurred.

I highly agree with you.  Gambling does not force people, people force themselves into gambling.  Gambling is just am action were people wager anything with value to win a higher value.  It is the person that made the decision whether to gamble or not, how much money they will allocate and how long they are playing.  Gambling activities is fully controlled by a person so if ever something went wrong, it should be the person to be blamed and not gambling itsef.

Its not the gambling but the brain activity or habit that forms and its not really exclusively gambling but the pattern of thinking and feeling that goes with it.  I make some mistakes where I know its a mistake while doing it but I continue, thats why I describe it as a kind of habit or automated patterned behavior.  If people can break the repetition of the mistake thats the main thing, I wouldnt look down on someone for repeating a mistake exactly but at least admit this was incorrect and at that point you can attempt to alter the bad habit and it should be a start to do so.

And who is to be blamed for such consequences? Taking into consideration the fact that gambling does not causes so much disaster to a person as you out listed but sometimes due to selfishness, lazyiness most people often regrets after getting addicted. It would be funny to know that some persons refuse to go out and find their daily survivals but relentlessly rely on gambling most times dey even need to beg at first before getting the money for gambling

I think it's completely normal for people to blame gambling especially when they see its negative impact on theirselves and their families. But it's crucial to recognize that personal responsibility doesn't mean dismissing the challenges that come with gambling addiction. It's about acknowledging that while external factors like the availability of gambling options exist gamblers still have the power to make decisions and taking ownership of those choices can empower people to seek help, set limits and make positive changes in their lives. We should know tht there are always consequences to our actions.

The ones to blame are those of us who cannot have limits in gambling. We must examine ourselves to find anything that needs improvement. And if we have experienced a gambling addiction, we must immediately talk to other people so they can help us immediately.

Many negative effects arise from gambling and gambling addiction is a severe effect that gamblers will experience. Those addicted to gambling can no longer stop easily because all they think about is gambling. They might even borrow money from other people to gamble, even though that doesn't guarantee they can win.

But if we are willing to try to reduce our gambling time by doing other things, such as looking for a job that can make money, we can have the opportunity to reduce our gambling time.

Blaming gambling for ones financial misfortunes I think is an archaic idea of people who are always trying to shift blames from themselves on actions they're supposed to be held accountable for.
Gambling is an engagement that people do get involved in just to make money from it and while some people control how they gamble and quit when they're not winning, others becomes addicted to it which as a result loses all their capital and instead of blaming themselves for engaging in gambling in the first place, they resort to blaming gambling that doesn't force people to play it

from what you said, i think it's not gambling that damages them, but they damage themselves. how many people gamble in the whole world? why do only a few people become bad like that? it indicates that they gamble excessively and are unable to control themselves. they destroy themselves through the gambling they play. a gambler should know his limits and how to control himself.

i don't blame them for the bad luck they experienced, but i'm also a gambler but unlike them i understand what i'm doing. i don't overdo it and know my limits, when to step out and stay on track. i don't intend to teach, but before gambling someone should be able to control themselves so that they don't overdo it and it becomes a disaster for their life.

Exactly, certain criterias are to be considered as for wanting to quit the addiction, not only talking to people or going for therapy but self discipline and determination is what is rightly needed. Even, most people do not accept the fact that they are addicted to gambling and just keep playing till they are rendered broke and unable to care for them selves leading to wrong mental state, we should be able to advise ourselves at the due time before disaster.

Many of us had made mistakes in the past while gambling and all we could do is to result on the causes from gambling, but we do much easily forget about our own mistakes, negligence and how we appear while gambling that makes us have the kind of experience we had, maybe it's now time that we begin to consider ourselves first on how we gamble in relation to the consequences that we received from each every of our steps taken in gambling, there should be more focus on ourselves than the gambling itself because we are the personality that's behind every gambling experience either good or bad.

The gambler will do the mistake all the time by the greedy to the gambling.But the gambler should over comer the greedy for the first and foremost thing to become the successful gambler.The gambler should not forgot their mistake,they need to remember the mistake to not repeat the same mistakes in the next game.The gambler who accept the mistake in the gambling  will be the ready person to learn the gambling and become the successful person in one day.But the person who not accept their mistake in the gambling will not learn the game at any point.Their should be the acceptance of the mistake to shine one day.The control of the emotion in the gambling also the important for the gambler luck.

We cannot blame other people for what we have done in gambling. If we cannot control ourselves in gambling, of course this will have a bad impact on ourselves and it will be even worse if we have become addicted to gambling and disturb the people around us with the gambling activities we do and I often see Some gamblers, as you mentioned, when they don't have money to gamble, they will ask other people for it. This really has a very bad impact on gamblers and the people around them.

That is why we must continue to practice self-discipline, especially in gambling. We will encounter many promotions while gambling. And if we are not careful, we can get too deep into gambling. And that will make us unable to stop gambling easily.

People who are addicted do not realize they are addicted to gambling. They only think about gambling and nothing else. Talking to other people about his gambling activities never even crossed his mind. They feel it is unnecessary because they think they are still fine.

Gambling addicts have felt the effects of gambling. But they don't want to admit it because as long as they gamble, they feel they can take care of themselves. But the effects of gambling can be magnified if they don't want to admit it. And it's only a matter of time.

Even, some moves to the extent of collecting huge loans from financial institutions when it is a 50:50 situation. I imagine how most gamblers hardens themselves into collecting such am, let me believe gamblers are the highest believers they never can tell if it will be a win or loss situation dey end up collecting money from banks which if they should loss the bet they can't gather up to pay back

Of course there is absolutely no reason for anyone to blame others for their gambling, but that would be possible if you got into gambling because of an invitation from someone else, whether it was your friend or anyone else, and if you are purely gambling because of your own desires then there is clearly no reason for you or them to blame others. That's right, self-control is very important when it comes to gambling, not least because it's the only thing that will be able to help you when you're in an impossible condition, and also of course what is worried about is the danger of addiction, that's all. If you can't be strict at all in terms of self-control then yes I'm sure it won't be long before you get into addiction, let alone that sometimes someone who is good enough to apply self-control is not uncommon who ends up entering the addiction zone without realizing it.

Therefore, it is true and I agree that self-control is very important to prevent all things that are definitely not wanted for all gamblers. I am quite concerned when I see those who are very excessive in gambling, they seem to be willing to do anything just to gamble, as you said there is absolutely no hesitation to borrow money from some of their friends, and of course it could be a loss for the friend who lent it because I am not sure they will be able to pay it someday.

Those which have developed the need to gamble, due to their focus they lose perspective of everything, including themselves, so even if everyone can see they have a massive problem they are unable to hold the same view, it is because of this that gamblers should always keep an open mind and reevaluate their behavior if one of the people close to them actually thinks they have a problem, after all they are the ones other than yourself that know you the best, and if they think there is something wrong with you chances are they are right.

Well when it comes to how to do things so that they can Generate better action with respect to the games and their behavior in the casino it can be somewhat counterproductive, because this depends a lot on the personality of each player, we are just people who basically do things In order to keep up with the best, some look for strategies, study, and devise a Way to make a better and more intelligent game to achieve the Expected results , but sometimes it is not so easy, because the best strategies can be achieved but at See, this is not enough, because in games of chance this is not all, but you have to argue that things are broad enough to be able to make known the mostEffective strategy, which there is none, so the people say that when they see that This does not work , they can give them a reaction of despair and lose and lose money, this generally Happens when they do not have a well-established plan so that they do not become Decapitalized.

When we see the people in the casinos we See them very well, with many demonstrations that everything is fine, but sometimes we Don't know what they are doing, what they are thinking, what they are risking, and possibly what they are losing, every little thing. It's a world, so for this not to happen the prsoans has to have a budget plan designed to fail , if they have 100usd to apsotar they should not put more money if they lose it in the game because it is the safest thing to lose, and That will be worse, or Commit money that cannot be spent because it will bring problems, sometimes people get so Desperate that when they play in the casino and lose they do things that are out of the ordinary, like lending money so I can continue playing and try to do so to recover what they have lost, which seems to me to be the greatest of all Mistakes , then some fall into addiction, which is not the right thing to do, because this is what we should avoid.

                                                                then you already knew what gambling is all about lol, you will lose more than you can earn ,
for every hundred loses lucky for you if there is a 10 dollar win  ;D well that is according to my own experiences and also best to just enjoy
 the game (but of course hope and pray to win and learn also to stand up when you have enough wins)
and one thing , about thinking gambling as a source of income? to feed you and family? that will be the stupidest thing people can ever think
about. because gambling should be for entertainment and only brings bonus if we win , specially when we hit the jackpot? that would be
 the happiest part to enjoy and also to win.

You noticed that scenario of losing before gaining because you do look up to those that are not lucky because gambling is a lucky game. Someone who is lucky can start gambling today and win big the same day, so if you have luck in gambling, you will love it and also get addicted because if you assess a lucky gambler's profile of winning and losing, you will find out the winning is 75% while the losing will be 25%. Believe me, if you are not lucky in gambling, you will just be losing, but if you are lucky, you will be winning. So what you have noticed is what usually happens to those who are not lucky.

I have a story of a friend of mine who used his tuition fees (school fees) to gamble. From his first risk, he won big and was able to pay the tuition fees, buy other school stuff, and continue to gamble. As I am saying in this story, now he has a car and some houses with gambling money. That is to show you if you are lucky, noting will be hard for you.

And every gambler should do that before they start getting problems from gambling. If they are already experiencing a problem and are aware of it, they must immediately find a solution. By not realizing the real problem and letting it grow, they will only have problems.

Maybe they can evaluate themselves every time they finish gambling. But probably not many people will do it because they think it is a waste of time. They think they can still control themselves while they are gambling, even though they are starting to lose control of themselves.

The effects of gambling can be felt in the short, medium and long term. Only by feeling a change in himself can he be aware of it and deal with it before it becomes bigger. They are the ones who have to look at themselves to find out what is wrong. But they can also ask the people closest to them for help to see what has changed with them. This is to find problems in themselves and start looking for solutions.

It's clearer whether people want to have fun with it or want to become a part of the house's money-making tool. Players easily mistakenly believe that easy ways to use money do not cause much harm, but this is a game related to money, so it is not fun if that amount of money is not within the range that you can comfortably spend and does not harm your life. There are many secrets in the gambling industry that startle me, but the truth is that not all players are good. Some of my friends once whispered to me that if you want to safely launder money, go to the casino (this does not apply to regular players), which shows that there is a lot more working behind what is in front of us.

this is one of the impacts of gambling when a bettor loses control of controlling himself and everything is defeated by emotion or greed which often happens and I often say and for me self control can still be destroyed when there is no full desire or high commitment. without high commitment, a bettor who is able to control himself will eventually lose everything when the situation gets bad, successive losses have an emotional impact that ultimately continues to bet chasing his losses and if he has high commitment, a bettor who has lost several times will stop gambling and came back the next day and I said this many times in several places.

This is what makes you addicted because you have a mindset of making money from gambling so you feel compelled to continue gambling and earning, some say you can make money from gambling but some say no, and as far as my experience can only happen occasionally where today you can win and make big profits but other times you experience bigger losses, so gambling should not be a job where you expect income because that seems impossible and the opposite result is actually more likely to be obtained. So play when the money you use is money that won't affect you mentally if you lose it, but if the money is for something important and you hope to double it then you can get depressed.

There are many people on this forum who have lost a lot of money gambling and complain about it. But I think they are the only guilty ones. They gamble for the purpose of making money. But gambling is only a means of entertainment. I only gamble for fun, so I never exceed my limits. I think the people who are angry about gambling are those who exceed their limits and see gambling as a way to make money. Today there is a match between Manchester United and Manchester City. And I see Manchester City as the favorite. No doubt it's an interesting match. But if I bet $10 on this match, it will be more interesting for me. That's all.

In my opinion we should avoid gambling. All though I am a gambler but I don't gamble regularly. Because really gamble creates and addiction on gamble. This type of addiction can damage a person financial condition . If your properly addicted in gambling. Then you can't avoid to do it. Because of addiction in gambling you do gambling regularly and make loss try to recover it because of your addiction you don't noticed how much money you lost to recover it.

For those of you who have a poor mentality, maybe you should avoid it, why do I say someone who has a poor mentality should avoid it because most gamblers who have a poor mentality always expect to win and make a lot of money, therefore it is best to avoid any gambling, but if you have a gambler's mentality, For real, of course you know how to control yourself so it's not a problem if you want to gamble.

For example, I gamble only for entertainment so I will not be addicted to gambling as long as it is within reasonable limits and properly controlled. The point is to gamble wisely and responsibly. The most important thing is also to understand the risks of gambling because if you understand the risks you will not be disappointed when you experience it. defeat, measure yourself, if you can't control it all, don't gamble, but if you can, there's no problem if you want to gamble.

Well I agree with you, for those who have a weak mentality should never touch gambling because obviously you will not be able to survive with all the great risks that are there. I understand in gambling there is a chance to win but the casino creates a much lower chance of winning compared to a very high loss, they must understand this first. And maybe I say they are just losers who come expecting to win or make easy money just by guessing, you better not gamble because what you expect will not always match the reality that happens, instead of getting a win but the opposite, you will suffer a lot of losses.

That's right, unless they really know about what things they should have and apply in their gambling such as self-control with some limits as you said above friend, if they can be firm by applying it then I'm sure they won't fall into addiction. And one of the mindsets that can keep you safe is to think that gambling is just an activity for fun when you are bored, none other than because the risks that are there are very large, and you can take examples from some people who have fallen.

Hahaha that's right, they will continue to pursue the losses they have experienced, it's very silly if their principle is like that. Because in my opinion if they are like that until whenever there is no end to the defeat after defeat that they will feel, even so slipped with a small victory and this victory makes them believe in gambling again that can restore the losses that have been lost due to gambling.

As you said, without self-control everything will fall apart they will continue to play until the lowest point where they have exhausted all their money which of course cannot be returned. And continue like that expecting and losing expecting again and losing again continue like that hahaha.

Gambling isn't a harmful activity if the person plays it with proper self-control and as I always say it is just an expensive hobby and activity. Gambling doesn't cause any harm to a person if the person controls theirself and gambles only for fun or passing the time and earning a potentially high amount of money.

If a person is addicted to gambling and the main goal is to make money through gambling, unfortunately, it is a bitter truth that gambling is harmful. Gambling addiction causes the person to become isolated from his/her social environment, suffer serious financial difficulties and suffer psychological damage. In addition, gambling addiction causes the person to become restless and unhappy if they don't gamble. In other words, if a person is addicted to gambling and doesn't gamble because he/she doesn't have money, he/she is also affected by these type of negative factors.

Unfortunately, in today's conditions it isn't possible to keep young people away from gambling. For this reason, instead of giving advice to young people not to gamble, it would be a better option to teach them how to gamble and that they should only play gambling for fun without becoming addicted to gambling.

that not how much more ridiculous it is when a gambler continues to gamble until he runs out of savings after everything gone, a gambler bets using the money that will be used for his wedding while all money belongs to his partner and I am sure you know that story that was written in another thread.

it very ridiculous we understand some the bad effects gambling that lose their sanity using any money just to fulfill their addictive desires.


that might make more sense because today young generation is too ambitious when gambling no matter what other people suggest or say because the minds of today young generation gamblers only think about winning from gambling instantly and unconsciously they become addicted.

maybe the method you say can be more helpful because even though we are experienced gamblers they will not listen to what we suggest and it is better to provide a way to bet responsibly and consider this just entertainment, winnings are just bonuses.
on the one hand it would be better if we had a good approach to provide a healthy mindset towards gambling by telling how gambling works it might also help a little.

It may not be an easy task to do for someone who is an addicted gambler, there are more approach we could help introduced that can work in favour of his gambling desires and life entirely without having to drop off from gambling, we can get him a therapist, get him a job to keep busy, and also reduce the rate of deposit such gambler have on his gambling account, if we forces him against his wish, he may feels bad and disappointed, but it's something that needs a gradual approach to see it work out as planned or targeted on him.

Young people have already been hooked on gambling components in games such as Dota 2 and CS, where there are boxes from which skins of varying degrees of rarity drop out for weapons or for heroes. On the one hand, it’s good that young people are getting their first experience in this with a lack of money, they simply won’t be able to buy a lot of boxes. On the other hand, this can have a bad effect on the psyche of young people and subsequently resurface at a later age with aggravation. You can also add that anyone who wants it could have a way to lose money, which certainly also has some truth.

The gamblers had get addicted to the gambling addiction will mostly quit their job and started to play the gambling as the full time job.So after certain period of the time,the gamblers will not have money for the gambling.So this may leads to the violence and ransom by the gamblers for the sake of money.The money is required for the gamblers to get some for the new gambling games.I had hear the new of his grand father had kidnapped his own grandson for the sake of money for the gambling sites.Some of the gamblers will learn to hold the money for the future games.Only few will not able to hold for the future game based on their holing capacity.

The gambling in CS not being labelled as gambling is kinda bonkers, thats slipped right under the radar apparently and its all over so many games because its profitable.   Because you always win something its classed as completely fair to market to 10 year old or similar age as a valid profitable business, the untapped unprotected market is totally ideal and billions are made this way.


Ironically and in comparison normal gambling can be quite normal beneficial business in society.  I would not state it much different to retailing alcohol which some also think is a negative too far for society and should be banned.  I wont argue either viewpoint as incorrect, it depends on the personal choices of people how they spend their time ideally we'd all spend every day learning trying our best to be as productive as possible but thats not realistic.  Banning anything  removes choice and the reality is these products continue anyway and are worse then just letting people choose for themselves.  Children I class as different and I do class that as exploitive and its ignored at present as any possible negative.

We all know that gambling will have a bad impact on our finances and mental health, but the fact is that many people's continue to gambler even though they already know the impact. They gambler with the aim of making money, even though it is impossible to make a profit, but the fact, is that we often find thats they want profit in gambling game, hypocritical if someone doesn't want to winning in gambling.

In fact, gambling was created to be a fun game, even though you have to risks money to play the game, having the ambition to make big profits will actually make us even more uncontrollable, therefore we should be wiser in using gambling without having stoped, if we are able to carry out it appropriately. recommendations that we set and we will not experience bad impacts and will not experience gambling addiction.

Not only ridiculous, in my opinion it is stupid behavior. Using the savings they have to bet on gambling oh my God where are their brains hahhaha, Maybe those who are full of confidence can get rich quickly through gambling so they are desperate to use savings for gambling. But I don't believe in that, I also play slot gambling, but I can still control myself by playing only on weekends with the aim of entertainment alone. So it didn't come to that. I laughed at people who were desperate like that to gamble, Maybe the bookie also laughed satisfied because he had made a big profit.
They have been deceived by the bookie who promises big wins that they never get as you said spending money just to fulfill the desire of addiction out of curiosity.

True what he said, it may be difficult for young people to accept our advice and input so that they cannot leave gambling, but as he said by teaching them to gamble wisely maybe this can help them so that they don't go deeper and don't have high hopes from gambling. By teaching them to gamble wisely this will also reduce the risk of their heavy addiction. Because before they go deeper it would be nice to teach them to gamble wisely.

I already heared from many people that gambling is not good, it can ruin you life, etc.
But i didn't listened to them and ignored them and now I learned my lesson hard way, like just deposit money you will not regret after losing, never chase losses, etc.
It would be better for new players(young people) to learn from others mistake who are ruining their health day by day and quite gambling or just gamble for fun and try your luck with small amounts,

We can still advise the younger generation not to use gambling as entertainment because the younger generation now has more options for entertainment so they don't need to approach gambling. We should advise them to do other things that can benefit their lives and prepare them to face competition in the future. It will be more meaningful for them because they can prepare themselves so they can get or achieve their targets rather than introducing them to gambling.

The younger generation may be more susceptible to gambling addiction problems, especially the younger generation, who are unstable about things that could tempt them to continue using it. Gambling can indeed draw them to keep gambling so that if the younger generation knows about the fun they can get from gambling, they can get deeper into gambling without anyone even knowing.

It is very difficult for an addicted gambler to recover I agree because if pressure is applied to a gambler to quit gambling he will become angrier. Therefore it should be left to the individual's own will prepare yourself by trying to understand the various harmful aspects of gambling addiction. An addicted person is not in control and in most cases does not want to think about it or remember it. Instead of this habit you have to prepare yourself by analyzing the symptoms or the reasons behind the harmful effects.

There is no denying the sadness in the story you tell. When people become addicted to gambling, they give up their stable means of income and dive headfirst into the risky world of gambling. Its risky to go from having a steady job to gaming as your full-time job. As their savings run out, they become desperate and do things they would never have thought of before. Taking someone's own child hostage for money is an extreme but clear example of how far someone's gaming addiction can push them.

You do, however, make a good point when you say that some players are able to control themselves and save money for future games. This contrast between total panic and a sense of relative control is interesting and should be looked into more. So, the question is: what makes these two groups different, and how can treatments be made to fit each?

But, for beginners they are quite difficult to apply. I'm not a pro gambler and feel that way. even though I try to realize that losing will always be losing, no matter how much balance we have, it will definitely run out. However, the emotions of beginners like me are often trapped by the desire to win and achieve loss cover. Even though I share a variety of advice now, in the past I was often eager to win and that was very bad.

Yes, we need to be wise in gambling. I have witnessed many people with decisive personalities and firm stances in life. But when they gamble, they become addicted like everyone else. One reason to avoid gambling addiction is another factor. I compare gambling to drugs. Addiction will still cling and torment even those with a strong stance. So, what factors help players not go down the path of addiction?

It's unfortunate that you had to experience going into hellhole before fully understanding the consequences of gambling.

Gambling isn't really an easy way out of poverty. It could even lead you into poverty for making rush, impulsive, and wrong decisions. Gambling requires being responsible, disciplined, and financial literate. If you are underage, most probably you are still not earning on your own, therefor you can't be responsible for your own finances, and rather is still dependent on your parents or guardian, which I think is enough basis to not let you engage in any gambling activities. Gambling requires money after all. If you can't provide and look after yourself, then do not gamble - easy as that. However, many people tend to ignore this, which results to being buried with pile of debts later on because of their gambling habits. It's sad, but this is the reality. As long as someone do not experience the hardships and the challenges related to betting and playing, they will never learn. Hopefully though the generation today will be smarter and wiser in making judgments to avoid experiencing the same mistake that could leave them destroyed in the end.

As far as I know, both gambling and drugs if excessive will be bad for you. Many gamblers can avoid addiction as well as drugs because they can control themselves and what they do is just for entertainment. What I mean by entertainment is that it doesn't mean wasting money at the gambling table, but they gamble with full calculations and strategies, and of course they can control their money. Drugs are also like that, people use drugs if they are too overdosed, it will have bad consequences for their health.

So in my opinion, in order not to fall into the path of addiction, it is important to first change your mindset and goals for playing gambling, because of what? If you intend to do it as a job, you should stop, because gambling is not a job but a game to entertain yourself. Winning or losing, we can control our emotions.

Gambler never hears the advice of anyone and when they loss their all money then they beg in front of others for money to continues the process of their gambling but in such way they continously loss money and finally they get involved in criminal activities. I think instead of teaching individuals about gambling we should initiate educating people about the harmful effects of gambling so may be many of them take help from watching videos and stop gambling.

It's Easy to say that if individuals learned about gambling then they will perform better but the things which is forbidden for everyone cannot be beneficial for anyone. By learning gambling they will win for only sometimes but they cannot be successful in gambling as it is full of risk and depends on luck and everyone knows that luck never remains good always in every field. Instead of wasting money in gambling initiate your business and learn about the business idea so it will be beneficial for you as well as for whole society.

Going into gambling because of financial increase will make you to experience some things that will make you to hate gambling, because you take it as something that will make you wealthy in the future. I know many gamblers make huge amount of money from gambling but they didn't put all their hope like the way some some people are looking for way to loan money just to gamble to win some certain amount of money which, it will lead them to prison when they fail to pay back the money.

Gambling will make you to run away from your family when you don't apply wisdom, and you are addicted to it because it can push you to sell anything sellable in the house that will make you to disappear for a while and return back home to apologize for such attitude.

I’m sure that such people simply haven’t seen documentary programs about gamblers in which they tell their story about how they lost all their money and gained a lot of loans that they don’t know how to pay back. I watch such videos regularly, and this allows me to control myself and not continue to place bets without stopping. I have learned to place only a few bets, which is enough for me, and to get great pleasure from it. I would like addicted people to also be able to achieve this, but at the same time I understand that we are different.

Gambling for financial increase has always been the wrong approach to gambling because bit only increase your despiration and reduce how logical you think and manage your fund, you become reckless with your stakes and risk, most times you forget the entertainment that comes with gambling.

When you become addicted you tend to do Crazy things to be able to facilitate your gambling and this can cause some level of stereotyping by people around which will result from them know about your gambling habit because they will always think soon you will be indulging in unhealthy habits which will be detrimental to them thereby reducing your circle aswell

Yes, every gambler is different even if they watch that kind of video or documentary if they don't want to be awaked by the fact that they only dig themselves into misery brought by gambling. Good for you, you controlled yourself before it's too late, which is a good indication that you are a responsible person and have a care for your future. I once experienced being a gambling addict, but at some point when I woke up from my addiction noticed that everything around me was slowly fading, even my future. That's why. changed and controlled myself before it too late to change. Everyone has the chance to change, but it depends if they will allow that to happen or if they can control themselves. As much as we want to help others, but if they don't want to help themselves, then we can't do anything about that, so I hope gamblers will change.

Gambling addiction is indeed difficult to cure, just like drug addiction, it requires someone who supports them to be able to stop, but my definition above is "using gambling wisely without having to stop" doesn't mean we do it continuously but do it occasionally and doesn't mean it stops completely, right? ?? This is very difficult for someone who is familiar with gambling and can stop it completely, we will definitely one day be tempted to do it again.
Using gambling wisely means we have to be good at allocating time and finances well and responsibly.

Tell this to people who have come to the conclusion that gambling is now an employment opportunity that regular income can be earned from. Gambling for an increase in your income is definitely a wrong approach and it would only increase your dependency on gambling in order to acquire more income.
Addiction creeps in slowly and without the individual realizing it, he’s already languishing in addiction and then it would be difficult to recover from. When the money to be made is foremost in your mind, then the entertainment purposes is quickly forgotten.

That way their daily lives will be miserable or difficult from an economic and financial perspective because they are in debt here and there because they have borrowed capital to return to gambling with winnings that are not in their favor. There have been many incidents that you said, crimes were committed on the basis of gambling addiction, if for people who just want to gamble, you can do what you said by educating them about the harmful effects of gambling which will make them addicted and harm themselves, but for those who are already playing (addicts) we can advise them slowly so that they can leave this bad addiction, although it is difficult but maybe we should advise them, if they insist on gambling, let them alone until they feel satisfied or feel they have lost everything because they themselves must be aware.

Even though they lose in gambling and always lose but there will definitely be a win, but it needs to be underlined that the winnings they get are only to attract them deeper into gambling because the bookie also doesn't want to lose so they give a little win to convince the players with the winnings they will get. Those who have been consumed by gambling may not think of anything else or even open a business too. Because they are convinced that gambling will give them victory and change their lives.

If people continue to use gambling as a job opportunity, they will not be successful, at least for most of them. They will only experience disappointment and may also experience prolonged frustration because what they do cannot produce the results they want. But if they are willing to look for other ways to find work, they may have a better chance of making money because if they can get a job, that means they can get a salary. And this salary can be used for many things, including meeting his living needs. We may have seen the effects of gambling from what we experienced, namely losing money at the gambling table, and we also couldn't recover the loss even if we tried. It will only increase the number of losses so that we will be even more frustrated. So forget about wanting to recover those losses. Otherwise, you will experience more severe effects from gambling that you may not be able to accept.

Those who are already heavily addicted to gambling and have damaged their mindset because they only prioritize gambling no matter what they will continue to gamble because that's what makes them happy even though they often lose. Just like drugs, with addictions like this I make sure they will find it difficult to leave gambling and it is certain that their future will also be damaged due to gambling addiction. Criminal acts that they will commit when they are at the lowest point of gambling addiction. Of course this will harm themselves and others. So it's true what you said about the importance of telling them the bad effects of gambling.

Gambling wisely is only done by a few people. Because most of those who gamble never think about the future they gamble only on principles that are unlikely to happen or even impossible to get. It's true what you said even though those who managed to stop playing gambling occasionally will definitely have a feeling of wanting to return to gambling. I won't know what they will do but what are the chances that they will return to gambling or not at all? no one knows what people's thoughts will be in the future.

Choose the right choice, look for another means of income and then gamble at your free time, mostly do it for fun and not like your survival depends on it. Gambling have its own effects, we lose and gain, that's a normal thing but winning comes with its own negative effects, we tend to have hope of profits from the system, persuading us to anticipate in gambling daily. We can't depend on gambling as streams of incomes, it's done in that way. Gambling is unreliable and often doesn't produce the results we expected, but looking for good jobs that can pay our bills, atleast end of the month, we expects some good figures reading in our bank accounts.

Agree with this.

Gambling is not meant to be a main source of income. Sure, it can be a sideline to your main job to earn a considerable amount, but it will be hard to make it as your means of survival without losing so much as you are winning. Additionally, it is a risky job too. It isn't and won't be labeled as stable job because of the risks it possess. There's no guaranteed win. You can only hope for the best whenever you bet and play on luck-based games, then use your knowledge together with praying for the odds for sportsbetting games. Meaning the earnings won't be guaranteed and you could end up having none after your bet or play. Comparing this to having a business or a corporate job to catch you every payday, it's really not worth the risk and time most specially if you have mouths to feed and bills to pay.

What a strange thought it is to think about how deeply gambling affects the mind. When someone starts to depend on gambling for their very survival, it stops being about winning or losing and starts being about the high. Drug abusers chase the same dopamine. You brought up a scary thought: the worst part of gambling addiction is that people may do bad things. Its like a chain reaction; where does it end once you start falling down that rabbit hole?

And now for some smart gambling - what a funny thing! In order to walk that balance, only a few people are disciplined and brave at the same time. But will they ever really be free? The game can make even the most controlled person want to give in. Its  between wanting something and not wanting it. Who is in charge and who is following? They are interested in the unknown future because they dont know what random thoughts or feelings might lead them back to gambling. Can the mind ever really be free from the chains of the past?

One thing I have tried to realize myself is that most of those who are gamblers consider gambling as a source of income. Moreover, when gamblers increase their profits by winning a few wins, they increase their bankroll without spending their profits for more income. Their greed slowly grew until at some point they lost their money in gambling. Gambling involves the possibility of both winning and losing money, so the gamblers' income and expenses do not reflect their true income. But the bottom line is that we can never call this uncertain income as a source of income. A person's downfall begins when he or she continues to consider gambling as a source of income.

Some will simply refuse to watch this and even the thought that they are advised to watch this will be disgusting to them.

You and I succeeded, but we must not forget that there are exacerbations during which there is a high probability of starting to play again as recklessly as before. Some will relapse their entire lives and will not be able to do anything about it. Therefore, you need to periodically remind yourself of the consequences of the mistakes of others. By the way, I’m very happy for you that in the end you also came out of these problems unscathed.

If gambling just becomes a habit, I don't see a problem with that, because as long as it doesn't affect our personal lives or our responsibility to our families, I think it's fine.

The only thing that is not good about something like this is that gamblers lead to addiction. This is the only thing that usually destroys the life of a gambler, because many are affected, to be honest, and we have seen many things like that not only here in the world of crypto gambling but even in other traditional gambling businesses or in real life.

We don't need to see gambling as a major source of income because that can have a great effect on us when we always try to make profits just to pay our bills and other expenses. Gambling is meant to be a side hustle not what we are going to put all our hope for our daily living. When we see gambling as a major source of income, it could make us become too desperate and gamble too frequently with a consequence of becoming an addict if we are not that careful to moderate the way we bet on a daily basis. It is important for us to have gambling plans and follow so that we are not going to be misleaded.

that's the madness of gambling addicts, those who are addicted to gambling will find it difficult to stop, even those closest to them won't be able to do much, let alone remind them to stop immediately because they will get carried away and do it secretly so that many people don't know.
To be able to stop definitely requires a great desire from oneself to be able to recover and have a strong determination so that they can control their thoughts to stop gambling gradually.

Gambling using this method is not easy, but at least we need to know what steps to take so that we don't fall into irresponsible gambling. By having a strong stance, we will be able to control our finances and time as well as possible.

Addiction to gambling is a serious and genuine problem. People simply cannot stop themselves once they become engrossed in the thrill and excitement. It draws them in farther and farther like a vortex. Indeed, even those closest to them frequently have limited options. It's something that is very, extremely secretive

It takes tremendous resolve and willpower to give up. It's not simple, not at all. But it's important, really important, to know what actions to take. The healing process includes taking a firm stand, managing money, and scheduling one's time. It's a long, drawn-out journey. But one may conquer, truly overcome, with the correct attitude and strategy. It's about accepting accountability and assuming command. It requires significant attention because it is a serious issue

Gambling is not a side job that can provide money but gambling is entertainment. Even though we have the opportunity to make money, it won't be easy, especially as many people have failed to try. We have also seen the effects of gambling on many people so we don't need to try it.

If we try anyway, we are taking the risk of losing money. And it also doesn't guarantee us victory because defeat will come to us. If we could be wise in using gambling, we would only use gambling as entertainment and nothing more.

We don't want to see the effects of gambling happening to us. If that is what we want, we must be very careful in using gambling. We also have to be responsible gamblers when gambling so that no effects can arise and come to us.

Yes, gambling addiction is indeed a serious problem. We cannot stop someone who has fallen into gambling addiction. To be honest, it is difficult to cure it, even support from the family is not enough if within themselves they do not have the strong determination to stop immediately.

A firm attitude towards yourself is very important. We must have a strong determination to stop or at least reduce it gradually so that the gambling addiction can be resolved quickly.

In fact, everything is simple, before placing a bet, we must be ready to lose it forever and imagine this situation. And if this happens, then calmly close the game and go about your daily business without thinking about it. The difficulty here is that in practice this does not happen. For many, losing comes as a surprise, as if they should have won 100% of the time. Sorry, but this looks like childish naivety. Next time, if someone is thinking of placing a bet, I advise them to do what I wrote.

I treat betting as fun and very easy, so I have no problem with it. Of course, all this came with experience, before that there were wild bets, which I now remember with a smile.

We can help them, we can forced them to enter in a rehabilitation, that is I think the last resort for gambling addicts, because if friends and family can't help them then no one will even their selves. I've see a lot of people who commited crimes and suffered from their addiction and gambling is one of them.

Even if we concern ourselves with the gambling addicts if they can't help themselves then we can't help also but of course you can do your part by pursuing them to quit and to change it don't has to be immediately they could practice a limited amount to spend in gambling first and little by little will reduce the session of gambling and eventually he/she will forgot about gambling, but of course he/she should divert his attention to other things like sports or other games with no money involved.

I don’t think gambling becoming a habit is not necessarily a good thing. Anything that becomes a habit can be abused and later grow and become an addict.
Anything that can become a habit would definitely affect our personal responsibilities with our families cause a habit is something you indulge yourself with almost every spare time you can get. And gambling addiction, like just any addiction affects the individual and the people around. I think it would be a lot safer you don’t take up gambling as a habit.  

Gambling should be a means of having run, when it turns to an habit then addiction may be coming in, what are the things expected of us to ensure that we do to avoid any unnecessary impression about the way we gamble such a way that it affects our daily lives, how often have we seen ourselves being able to tackle some of our personal behaviours towards life and when we are gambling, everything started from somewhere, we are only using gambling as a cover to some of our shady kind of lifestyle, gambling have no bad effect on us, we exhibit the bad characters in approaching it.

Seeing gambling as the main source of income will make life more miserable greed will work in them and they will become desperate to meet their daily needs. Planning is the best way to be a responsible gambler and maintain that excitement is to have a plan. The important thing here is that you try and stick to that plan as much as possible. This plan doesn't have to be complicated and unreasonable to be careful gambling it can just be a rough idea of how much money you want to spend on gambling and how much you want to de-risk yourself play for fun and exploit an advantage when presented.

If we can accept whatever the outcome is and are prepared to lose that money in gambling, we can keep gambling. Most people would say they are ready for whatever happens. But after they get a lucky loss, they start to falter and are not ready to see the loss. They will become increasingly eager to gamble and recover their losses.

They will not be able to cover their gambling, especially if they have experienced a losing streak. Their ego will stop them from stopping at that point and will instead lead them to continue gambling. That's what makes them lose more and more money. And if they remain unaware, they will lose more and all their money will be gone.

We should not experience things like that, especially if we have already experienced them. That's why we have to have clear boundaries in gambling to prevent losing. Apart from that, continuing to learn self-control can help us not to experience more defeats.

Addict to gambling is a very dangerous problem. We can definitely help them. Correctional facilities, as you said, are a last option for people who can't stop gambling. That's exactly right. People who are addicted to drugs or alcohol have done bad things and been hurt because of it. It breaks my heart, truly broken.

The plan you have to slowly spend less on gaming is very, very smart. It's kind of like cutting back, slowly breaking them of the habit. And yes, taking their attention off of them with sports or other games is a great idea that can really work. It means switching from a bad habit to a better one. An in-depth look at the issue from different angles. We need to keep trying to help even when things get hard. It's our moral job to do it.

A bad habit if we do it often will certainly become an addiction and after being addicted to this bad habit of course we have to try to leave it because nothing bad will be good for us and we have to try as hard as possible to be able to leave it and that is will have a bad impact on the people around us, so before experiencing addiction, it would be better for us not to engage in these bad habits too often because it will be difficult to leave them if we have experienced addiction.

In general one can say an habit is a good one or a bad one depending on the impact that habit has on one's life. In general, gambling is seen a bad habit because it can easily escape de control of the person who partakes in it, though, there could be limited situations when gambling could be seen as a neutral habit, just another hobby one does for own amusement.
Talking about habits and addictions is a completely different things, by the way, because while there are good and bad habits; I do not think there are good addictions in any way, shape or form.

Also, an habit can only easily turn into an addiction under specific conditions and only if that habit is considered to be harmful and detrimental to one's health.

Perhaps something happened in the meantime while you were away from the gambling casino? Or maybe it was something else? I think that your perspective can really change after you enter a healthy world of no addiction. Looking at them, they probably would look the same to you in the eyes of your old self, but now you see them through mentally healthy eyes. That really can make you think about how people must have viewed you in the past when you were sitting there with them.

Good on you for choosing a healthier lifestyle!

Hello, I'd like to share my opinion on your topic. Gambling isn't suitable for individuals who aim to improve their financial status , No, you are mistaken. Betting is meant for those who can control their ego; and accept losses and not be influenced by the illusion of continuous success. It's important to be cautious, as gambling can lead to addiction. If you find yourself winning, consider using the self exclusion feature to quit gambling for few months or even deffently .

Yes, unfortunately, today many people with gambling addiction gamble constantly, thinking that it is possible to have a winnings only from gambling and focusing on this. Of course, since this is just a thought and there is a possibility of losing as much as winning in gambling, gambling addiction occurs when many people gamble more to regain the money they lost. For this reason, it would be useful to inform people especially young people, who have just started gambling about what gambling is like and to remind them that the probability of losing in gambling is quite high.


Yes, unfortunately, in today's conditions gambling isn't only in physical or online casinos and betting offices but also in the games we play on a daily. This causes young individuals to become involved in gambling at least in some way. Although it is possible to get the gambling experience without spending much on chance boxes or similar games based on chance within the game, unfortunately, this situation not only pushes many young children away from gambling but also encourages them to gamble.

A good advice indeed, and it's rather unfortunate that, we have majority of gamblers today who are gambling not for the fun of the game, but solely as a way to make money. And not like it's a bad thing to want to make money off gambling, most especially when money is also invested, but the way most gamblers go about it is the problem.

A lot of gambler engage in chasing after losses, some engage in chasing after bonuses and so on, all this are things that can lead a gambler into over gambling, which can make the player lose alot of money and as well, may from there slip into gambling addiction.

Many people has being a gambling beneficiary and also Many other people is also not a gambling beneficiary, their is some people that gambling helps and some people also gambling did something, so maybe something that resulted good to someone in gambling might result bad for you in gambling, have the plan that gambling will increase your financial wallet, if you have the luck it may be effective but if you don't have the luck it may not be effective.so something I have to say is that gambling is a game of luck and opportunity it can give you opportunity and another person followed your direction and it fails the other, a gambling can enriched you or not.

It is very important for us to know how to say know when we are gambling too much since the effect can be detrimental to our personal health. It is very important for us to know what we are doing to avoid some of the consequences of the effects of gambling tok much. Those that had been in the gambling industry for a very long time can attest to the newbies of staying safe as a gambler. Sometimes it is good for us to ask questions so that we can be guided especially from those gurus that had been gambling for so long with results.

Health would really be affected if;

1. You had skipped out multiple meals
2. You had skipped out exercises
3. You have skipped out those hygienic things
4. You have skipped out on eating healthy
5. Lack of sleep
6. Extreme stress and anxiety

We know that gambling could really possibly give out this kind of effects or possibilities that you could really be able to experience out.
There's no way that you would really be going into a point on such manner. You are the ones who are making such situation or condition
and if you are really that not mindful about those pros and cons then you would really be that having a huge problem later on.

I agree with you hundred percent that all these are effects of gambling,and more.If a topic is being raised,and people are asked to say the things that gambling has done to them,it would be so many because so may people have their ordeals and their bad experiences on gambling.I have mine also,and if I'm to explain it,it would be so much.I have seen somebody commit suicide because he used the whole money that was given to him for school fee,feeding and house rent to gamble,and he ended up losing all the money.All he later did was to beg the cashier to help him with just his house rent so he could get where to sleep when their landlord would come demanding for his Money.His request was turned down by the cashier,and he went to a serene place to poison himself.

The real effects of gambling should be a big boost to your maths skills.  Now when you get sums wrong the odds are calculated badly and you lose money, high motivation to get it right and check your odds multiple times etc.   Of course nobody thinks of gambling like this but it can be this way if careful imo.

The harmful side of gambling in society cannot be overstated but gambling takes away from society more than it gives. Social harmony and order are largely lost due to gambling.
Gambling is enough to ruin a family's financial condition. Gambling not only worsens the economic condition of the family but also creates chaos among the family members and breaks the family ties and causes strife.
Gambling is responsible for organizing many social crimes. Crimes like theft, robbery and dowry in the society are only caused by gambling. So hundreds more problems are seen in the society only because of gambling. So gambling must be abandoned to maintain social order.

Asking for professional help who specializes in dealing with this may be able to help, but it still has to be accompanied by the support of family and friends so that they don't feel stressed and may recover a little faster.

Encouraging someone to stop is quite difficult because usually gambling addicts are emotionally unstable, stopping them by force will only make them even more out of control and maybe they will do it secretly, it is better to take them to a professional place that can handle an addiction the gambling, and yes, diverting attention to more positive things like you said will indeed help someone slowly forget about gambling.

Sometimes the realization of what it means is our Activities that can set the course for what we must know, one but that Tells you that a path can change your life, I think it is very much there, the context is quite big, very broad in terms of Content, because when we are doing our best to be able to have some gains, well, we should not be the best ones to Speak and say something like that , in Fact we Should know that things are Clear, because When we are in a casino we have the house advantage, and the House advantage is Something obvious that we Should always do and Know, that when we put our money in a casino we are Risking it , what the that Wants when we are in the middle of the Game We can lose it in its entirety, they don't say those Things , when there is a person without Experience in Casinos they can let us know that Things are very Difficult to Win , that is What we Must keep in our Mind, a casino is not an ATM automatic.

A casino was Invented to make us and give us fun, to have a Different time , to Spend money and it has the option that if we are hard Enough we can win money, that is what we should tell everyone when it comes to this For our best understanding is that when playing in a casino we can do different things, the first, play in moderation, that is, establish the budget that we can spend without going over there, it is like money willing to lose, that we can play in Moderation or Crazy ? well yes, it can be done as long as the money that is there is Respected , if we spend the money we risk losing, what we are doing here is not assuming what we First thought about, secondly when a person is clear about that , you can play as you want , as long as you don't risk too much, the Danger of addiction begins when we put in more money than Normal.

When our communities are at stake, not just chips on a table, every roll of the dice and card flip is called into question. People who are addicted to gambling often lose their ability to think clearly, which keeps them in a loop where they risk not only their money but also their relationships and social roles. The effects on money are bad enough, but the damage to society goes deeper.

Additionally, the link between gambling and a rise in certain crimes cannot be ignored without a second thought. If some of these horrible crimes can be traced back to the gaming tables, thats a scary thought. Aside from the money, we're also betting on the very fabric of society. What is the idea? Self-reflection, critical dialogue, and strong steps to lessen its unchecked impact right away. The health of society must always come before short-term joys.

That's the most pathetic effect imo because if you're trying to get boost on your math skills by gambling then you failed already because most if not all gambling games are comprised of complex math and I don't think it's really the goal of someone to be good at math plus people who are already good at math will always be the one that's going to excel at gambling just like those card counting blackjack players. If you probably said problem solving skills, that's probably the more appropriate skill being honed.

Those facts are true when you are already engage too much into gambling all those worse after-effects are thing that needed to consider in order to avoid making big mistake, with the knowledge that you have and the capability to whether to control yourself or have that limitation might help you to stay safe and for you to avoid leading your way to go deeper and have additional worse things to happen in your life not just financially but also with your health.

The real truth of the matter is that gambling has done more harm than good to our society than and that's because many gamblers ventured into gambling with aim of making a living out if it. Though a lot of people have through their massive winnings in gambling being able to positively change their financial status but it's doesn't change the fact that it's rendered many especially gambling addicts useless to themselves and the society they find themselves.
My advice to gamblers is that if you can't control your emotions when gambling, it's better not to gamble at all because the effects is something that'll be to bad for such person

Addiction in the sense of a habit that has been attached and difficult to leave or eliminate. It is difficult to get rid of the addiction that has become attached to them, some suggest that with encouragement or support they can quit the addiction, but in my own opinion it will be difficult if they themselves have no intention of quitting gambling addiction, encouragement and support will be in vain if they themselves do not realize the impact of gambling addiction.

Encouragement and support will be ignored and they will still focus on their addiction, because they have no intention of stopping or leaving gambling. Before they provide support or encouragement it is better to wait for the addict to realize the impact of the addiction, if the addict is aware of the impact of the addiction then they provide encouragement or support for him to leave his addiction. So in my opinion, before going to other people, he himself must be aware of the impact of gambling addiction.

If you are not gambling for fun and you are thinking of becoming rich with gambling then you are getting it all wrong.
Because if you start losing in gambling the negative impact will be huge because you no longer get the results which you hope to get.
Think about a different way to leverage the system and earn money from gambling, maybe by owing a betting shop or opening a view center in your locale where people will come together to watch and have football discussions during match days and you charge them for providing such services and not hopping to become rich with gambling.

It's an obvious that though gambling we can not change our lifestyle unless we are too lucky enough Tobe the winner of the big jackpots, yes there are many gamblers becoming rich cause they are too lucky to hit those jackpot but in real life if we are small gamblers then we must not think that kind of thing, unless we have a existing money and that money Is we can afford to loss and always remember that not all the time we are the winner like what I said above we gamble what we afford to loss cause when we loss then it's okay.

Only lucky gamblers can get big jackpots. Meanwhile, we have seen many small gamblers who also try to win but many of these small gamblers fail and cannot win but lose. Gambling has the impact of losing money, which may become greater if we cannot overcome it. Even though we have a lot of money that we can use for gambling, it doesn't guarantee that we can get a big jackpot, so we have to think about whether we can continue gambling or look for other things that can also provide pleasure. We can only bet what we can afford and stay within the limits we have set so that we don't experience big losses.

It's easy to give a bit of advice to them but its too hard to apply if you are a younger generation and you have already known gambling since you were young and you have an environment with this, it's like part of your norms unless you really have the will to leave the industry of gambling, we know it has different effects to people and the environment of them, at the end there's no problem makes solution in gambling always at the end of the day possible the player can win a small amount but most of the game is on the casino house. Only well-skilled, knowledgable, and trained players as always succeed in playing gambling. If you are just a common person seek for source of income gambling is not ideal to deal with.

Why would you think so? People who gamble won't always have their calculator open to count the return based on the odds and everything else that they might need to know, so those who do it without a calculator are practicing their counting and mathematics skills and we know that when you keep doing something again and again, you tend to learn that very well since as they say, "Practice makes a man perfect.", so when you are constantly practicing, you will eventually become better at that thing.

I know that it shouldn't be a reason for someone to start gambling, but those who gamble will surely benefit from this as this will make their counting and maths skills sharper than before and it's a reality. I believe gambling also teaches patience to gamblers if they are responsible gamblers because it's not easy to stop gambling when you are winning or leaving the casino when you have lost half of your bankroll.

We must be able to tell important things to young people around us, especially those who still don't have a stable income and also those who have never gambled at all, gambling is not an easy thing to do, there is a lot of preparation that must be prepared, especially mentally, because it is an important thing, and also never think that gambling is the best way to make a lot of money, there are many ways to make money and one of them is by working and investing, so let's gamble responsibly and carefully.

You have no idea how many people I have met over the years that according to them they know nothing about math and they are really bad at it, but when their favorite casino game or sport starts they begin to throw to me all kind of figures or statistics about it as if they were the greatest math whiz ever, so while I do think that gambling could in fact give you a greater level of skill on math and probabilities, an effort must be made so it can apply to other aspects of your life and not only applies when you gamble.

Not a good place indeed and you are also right in regards to that statement in which you pointed that wise gambler may enjoy and win some but not as always,  the only good thing about those gambler they know when to stop and they know how to limit their own gambling activities,  with such knowledge you can lessen the amount of time and money that you are spending around gambling and use it to something else that might also give you chances to earn money.
