1021  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: December 05, 2023, 05:30:14 PM
Loneliness doesn't make anyone to gamble or gamble more,
he gamble because he is free if we have many friends and a lot of work, or when we are too busy and in a state that the time is very important then the person will forget about gambling,
if a person is free and have account on a gambling platform with some money in it, his mind will distract and try to go to the account and play with it. and if we keep our account blank and cut every way to go and gamble then it is easy to not gamble if you don't want, but it's hard to control when we have balance in account.
If he could restrain himself by not having the desire to gamble, he would definitely not gamble and choose to do other things. But when he really doesn't have anything else to do in his free time, and he already has gambling experience in the past, there is a possibility that he will remember what he did when he was lonely. And that can trigger him to look at the account and find out whether he still has a balance in that account or not. Usually, a gambler still has a small remaining balance in his account, which he can use to gamble whenever he wants. And that will be the reason or trigger for him to gamble again and could even make him addicted to gambling. But if he tries not to remember what he did when he was lonely in the past and chooses to do other things, he won't be triggered to gamble. He would prefer to avoid gambling rather than later getting into trouble from gambling.

Especially when it comes to gambling addiction, young students/youth are the most likely to indulge in gambling. Later they stop studying when they become addicted to excessive gambling, they start borrowing money from unique people when they face losses. Later, if the amount of debt is high, they indulge in extortion, thus the impact of gambling is the most on the society. The influence of this gambling especially on the young youth is high nowadays. Gambling has many rules but they never stay within the rules, the most people are attracted to online gambling in our society, these youth will be the most difficult to control.
They may be able to enjoy gambling, but they are also likely to experience gambling addiction, and it may also be more severe than adults because they have been exposed to gambling from an early age. What's worse is that if they have become addicted to gambling, they will not understand when they have to stop gambling and do other things at their productive age and only want to gamble. The impact of gambling can be higher than in previous generations, especially as today's young generation has been exposed to better technology than previous generations. They can also gamble secretly without anyone knowing, so this will speed up the gambling addiction process that can occur to them. Maybe the impact of gambling on society will be higher, but that depends on each person's readiness to treat gambling as entertainment. But for a wider impact, perhaps a small amount of the money earned by the winner can be donated to communities in need so that there is a positive impact that the people around them also feel.
1023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 05, 2023, 03:00:26 PM
Without any doubt NOOO. You cannot make gambling a profession let along a full time jobs. Full time jobs have a fixed amount of work a fixed amount of payrate or salary. A amount that helps one sustain himself and his family. A stable income. But gambling is not anything near stable. It is played totally based of luck. Can you effort to risk your own future, your families future, your loved ones future? Nobody would. So instead of trying to be a professional gambler or making it as a full time job you should use that gambling money for other business plan. If you wanted you could be entrepreneur who sets up his own business. It has much more higher potential than gambling. So you should reconsider if you wanna make gambling a profession.
That is a firm answer, but it is true what you say that we cannot make gambling a full time job because we have to think about how much money we have to use to make money where the results will not always be what we want. We may be able to make money, but the amount of money may be less than the losses we will experience. And we are already risking our family's future by using more money to gamble. Rather than taking bigger risks by making gambling a full-time job, we should try to find a job that can pay us so that we can actually make money from that job. By getting that job, we can make it a full-time job, but we can also still look for additional work that can function as a part-time job so that we can get additional income. That would be better than taking the risk of making gambling a full-time job. And we won't lose money to make money either.
1024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: December 05, 2023, 02:05:29 PM
Self-control can save you from gambling and a gambling addict can save you from gambling but a person can control himself for a long time but suddenly lose control of himself because of long-term gambling like I did. I have shared a story of mine here on how I became addicted to gambling and gambled with loans with the intention of winning big. Because of this, a potential means of maintaining self-control is to keep a small and fixed budget for gambling and to gamble 2-3 days a week at most.  In this case, your losses will be less and it will be possible to maintain control over yourself without panicking.  And this is how you can save yourself from gambling addiction
That's true because, with self-control, we can avoid excessive losses and also save the money we have. We cannot continue gambling if we have experienced consecutive losses because we risk even greater losses. Most gamblers are not ready for this risk, but they don't seem to care about it and want to recover their losses or chase their winnings. Perhaps many of us have experienced gambling addiction without realizing it, so this is the time for us to correct ourselves and see how far we have come in gambling. If we see that we are returning to gambling more often, we may already have a gambling addiction, and we should try to reduce our gambling activities before we fall deeper into gambling.

~snip~
A common human reaction that can bring you to chase for more, I see your point and it's true that appreciating that opportunity instead of
trying to look or aim for more will let you enjoy,.

Keep that sense inside you that gambling in an excessive way always have that negative outcome, even luck permits you to take something out
from the house, chances that you will chase it again and will bring that winning money back in the latter part of your gambling.
For this reason, self-control is needed so that we can control our awareness that winning is unusual, and we must appreciate it so that we can prevent losing again if we continue gambling. We don't need to chase win, especially since we already know that it could be dangerous for us because we could lose the money we have earned. By stopping gambling after winning, it means we can get something that many gamblers want, and we are among the lucky ones.

With self-control, we can remain aware that we are gambling with the aim of seeking entertainment, and when we get it, we must immediately stop gambling. And even when we can win, stopping gambling is the best decision we can make. We will not be able to beat the house, especially since we have taken a lot of money from the house, and we should be grateful to be able to win from the house.
1026  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: December 05, 2023, 01:17:19 PM
~snip~
True I agree to that, honestly for me personally at first I always rejected the assumptions or actions that had to be done out of my common sense to make withdrawals when I got a certain amount of victory, I always prefer to continue the game with higher hopes and confidence because at that time I thought that luck was coming my way and I tried to always take advantage of the situation by applying greed, do you know what the end result was? yes occasionally as expected but more lost and I felt disappointed because all the money I won was lost again, it was really painful. For now I prefer to make peace with myself and forget about all those events, and also I try to reduce activity, if I have won there is nothing else I think about except immediately withdrawing it, the disappointing situation is very boring for me.

On the other hand I'm sure it's not just me who feels that way, but most of the gamblers who apply greed will feel the same disappointment when it turns out that their luck has run out and end up losing everything, but maybe some of them or most of them still don't realize that the action is actually wrong. There's nothing else and I admit it's better to just be grateful for your first win regardless of the amount.
It is normal for our minds to ask us to continue gambling even when we have won previously. But if we have good self-control, our thoughts will not influence us, and we can even suppress those thoughts so they don't grow bigger and ultimately affect us. We don't always expect what we want to happen, especially when we are gambling where there are wins and losses, but we will get losses more often. So instead of experiencing more and more losses, we should control ourselves and immediately stop gambling, especially when we win. Yes, making peace with ourselves will be a good way out so that we don't harbor feelings that can make us more stressed and just want to go back to gambling. We have to think about ourselves because our initial goal of gambling is just to have fun and not to make money.

Many gamblers feel the same as you. Even I feel it too. That's why we have to be able to overcome the losses so that they don't get bigger by maintaining good self-control so that we only enjoy gambling as entertainment. We also don't need to follow what other gamblers do by continuing to gamble because we are only responsible for ourselves. And if we have managed to win, we should cash out the winnings and get out of gambling immediately.
1027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: December 05, 2023, 12:55:47 PM
Referral bonus is great marketing of gambling sites or casinos. When you are invited some money in exchange for a member, you will encourage more new members to open accounts at those casinos or gambling sites and the more accounts you make, the more referral bonuses you will get. In accounting, casino establishments profit because the number of users of their casino or gambling site increases and through them they earn more and some of that profit is paid to members who invite new members to the casino. Referral bonus is not only given to casino or gambling site but every online business or other site offers this referral bonus so that users are more focused on those sites.
Yes, referral bonuses are a great promotion not only for gambling but for many other sites. And that encourages people to spread the links they have on their personal sites or social media pages. But it takes work because they have to compete with other people who also have the same desires. Casino companies benefit from new members, but people who help spread their casino links also benefit in the form of referral bonuses. This is a reciprocal relationship provided by the casino for its members so that they can earn additional income by introducing their casino site in other places. But people who intend to spread their referral link should actually find a casino that pays its members who have helped spread their casino link and can get new members to sign up at the casino.

Forgetting things which is important can lead you to a big danger, risk is always behind gambling and without the right set of control you will lose not only your money but more with your time, gambling always keep you busy and takeaway lots of your time when you got seriously addicted,

you should always set that limitation and not to exceed or if in some occasion you can't and still made that mistake take a good note of it and remember the outcome which is mostly not in your favor.
That is why we have to be really careful when gambling and have good self-control so we don't end up in big danger. By being responsible when gambling, you can enjoy gambling as it should and don't need to worry about any problems. But it would be better if we could have other activities besides gambling activities to help control ourselves so we can prevent thoughts that invite us to return to gambling more often.

Yes, I agree with you to always set limits when gambling because this is to avoid excessive use of money in gambling. Apart from that, with these restrictions, we can practice discipline in how we use our money. With everything we do in gambling, we can avoid problems that can arise and also don't need to worry about gambling addiction because we can still control ourselves well.

~snip~
It's really hard to control when you always have the money in your hand or you easily have access to it when you lose because you can just get some more to play more until you no longer have the means to play. This is what happens to most of the gambling addicts and the sad part is, because they cannot control their desires to play more, they often become thieves and lose their shyness to ask people for money. That's why when a person thinks he can't be sure about the outcome of his action, it's better to look for another habit rather than trying some new things which is more risky for him.
It is difficult to control if we have money, but we still have to exercise it because it is for our own good. By trying to continue practicing it, we will not be tempted by promotions or anything else because we know that when gambling, we have to be wise in using our money. Experienced gamblers should know more about this and will not try to gamble excessively. But unfortunately, they still try to get a win and deposit more money so they can play longer in the hope of winning some more money. If they realize that gambling is not a place to make money, they will only gamble in moderation and will not let themselves be tempted by the many gambling games or promotions they see in casinos.

~snip~
This should be avoided by gamblers because they don't want to lose their money especially not in small amounts, but if they already have a stubborn nature what can be made. They themselves do it so they themselves will receive the consequences, but there is something annoying, where those who have run out of a lot of money they borrow from others and I once saw a family member who had run out of money in gambling, he asked for money that was owned by the family, isn't this annoying?. It's hard to make them realize that what they're doing is wrong, but as you said, it's better to save the money or invest it, it might be more useful later.
Now this is what must be done, gambling but with responsibility that must be remembered. If they really want to gamble, try not to forget about many things, the point is to be responsible for many things, not just focus on gambling. That will make them carry out their gambling activities not too bad even with the end always losing haha.
If they can accept the results of gambling and have no desire to chase wins or recover their losses, they will not have any problems. They can use small money to bet because it will be safer for them, so they can avoid the big losses that other gamblers have experienced. However, I agree with you that many gamblers are stubborn in gambling who ignore their losses, and it is clear that they have run out of money but instead borrow money from other people. That will obviously cause problems for them because they will definitely have difficulty getting their money back if they lose at gambling. Even though they have a chance to win, it will not always guarantee that they will win because winning from gambling is very rare. And we may have seen for ourselves the results we get from playing gambling for some time. That is why we must be responsible when gambling and not use more money so that we can also avoid losing a lot.
1029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: December 05, 2023, 11:52:54 AM
~snip~
The gambling need of the sufficient budget to make the good win from the gambling site.Most of the people forgot the importance of the big betting as compared to the small betting.The gamblers thought making the small bet for the safer side,but the fact is the more you deposited will help you to end the game because of the no capital at the end.If you wagger to the dice game,if you start with 50 dollars.The game may end with the no money because of the less initial.If you start with the good money,then you can lay multiple time.If you start with the 200,the game may change to your side at the value of 50 dollars from 200 dollars.But the 50 dollars initial may leads to complete loss.
But every gambler must know that even though he has a sufficient budget, gamblers must also know that they cannot always win from gambling, so they also don't need to gamble too seriously and just enjoy gambling. By betting small, at least gamblers have tried to prevent big losses and can also play gambling longer. But they also have to maintain good self-control so they can prevent more losses. What we have to remember is that we only need to use the money we can afford to gamble and not gamble for too long because that can make us tempted to try other gambling games. Only we know what percentage of money we can use to play gambling because we have to calculate all the money we get from our income, and then we can use what percentage to play gambling. Perhaps 5% -10% is enough to be a budget for gambling.
1030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos after the shutdowns of mixers on: December 05, 2023, 11:32:09 AM
Let's hope it's not related to crypto casinos. However, casinos may take serious action to address the recent incidents at mixers by increasing supervision of their users. Crypto casinos will tighten their regulations, and casinos may immediately implement KYC on their users. By implementing this verification, the casino can at least monitor its members who deposit and withdraw large amounts of money. If the government asks questions about money laundering cases, the casino can provide its data for further investigation. Current conditions are increasingly difficult for crypto casinos because they are being monitored more closely by the government, so they have to be more careful in running their business.
All of those are possibiities.

But I don't think that they're going to take it seriously when majority of them are registered and have a trademark unlike the mixers that have unknown developers or owners behind.

Maybe they'll take it as a precaution to do their jobs better and monitor more players accurately. Other than that, I don't see something serious that shall go with the casinos.
Hopefully, nothing serious will happen to the casino, and the crypto casino can still run as usual. We can also use crypto casinos for gambling, as we have used before. But when the casino finds something suspicious in a gambler's account, they will investigate it thoroughly, and the casino may ask the gambler to verify their account to ensure that their suspicions are no longer necessary.

But the government can do something about casinos, especially casinos that are suspected of being places for money laundering. The government will tighten its supervision of the casino in case there are illegal activities carried out by members of the casino so that the government can follow up by contacting the casino. The government could require casinos to ensure that their members do not do anything illegal.

We ourselves can take advantage of what gambling is like, people introduce gambling because we live in an era where people interact with each other via cell phones and when we gather we are not far from our cell phones, even if other people don't introduce gambling, we will be able to learn it ourselves and when your friend is playing gambling, you happen to know and you want to try to experience the game.
It's natural because we don't live alone, we have friends with different views, there's no need to blame other people if gambling is around your friendship, if you don't follow it you will still be safe, but if you participate in playing, use it wisely and don't get too involved in gambling so that don't cause thing that are out of control, gambling can cause addiction if you get too involved in the fun, so use it appropriately.
With technological advances that have developed more rapidly than a few years ago, we will also see advertisements for gambling, and maybe we will also try it ourselves without anyone introducing it to us. So when a friend introduces us to gambling, we should be wise in responding to it and not need to blame him because it is true that the responsibility is entirely in our hands. We have to be responsible if we really want to gamble and don't need to blame other people. Apart from that, we also don't have to gamble if we don't like it because there is a factor of losing money when we gamble. Yes, I agree that we can remain in control when our friends introduce something because they tell us that something, and then we will decide. And if we want to know more about gambling, we must be able to control ourselves so as not to be influenced by what is in the casino. By remaining wise in gambling, we can enjoy it more and will not use gambling as a place to make money.

It is big winnings that is one of the things that lure people to become chronic gamblers. I have argued this with someone and you can understand with me that anyone that keeps losing in gambling will not keep gambling but it is the taste of huge win or the expectation of it that makes people to keep gambling and possibly raising their capital.
You are right that someone who gets a big win can become a chronic gambler who will try to chase other wins, even using the winnings he has already earned. Getting a big win is very rare, and we should be able to appreciate what we have so that we won't try to chase an even bigger win. That will only result in losses that may be even bigger than before, and can use up all the money we have, even the winnings we have earned. We must always be careful when gambling, not gamble excessively, and always exercise self-control so that we don't have the desire to chase bigger wins.
1033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 04, 2023, 03:35:16 PM
Yes, not just gambling. It should be in every game we play we have to play it with care or maybe I should say play with more care with gambling. We should be responsible when we start to gamble. Just like the catalog of liquor company "drink moderately"  in gambling "play moderately", we don't have to risk all of our saving in gambling, play for the sake of fun and entertainment. Having extra care in gambling makes you a responsible gambler, you know your boundary and limitations. For all the gamblers around here, be responsible and have self control.
The important thing is that we can gamble carefully because by being careful, we will try to reduce the number of losses by limiting the use of money for gambling. We will also not be interested in recovering from loss or pursuing a win because we know that it is difficult to obtain. Instead of experiencing difficulties and causing our emotions to escalate, we should limit our gambling, and there is no harm in being a responsible gambler. This is to prevent us from experiencing more serious problems where we can experience gambling addiction, which has been experienced by many gamblers before.

And when people have achieved the victory they desire, they should enjoy it by vacationing with their families or investing in their future lives. And the most important thing is to try to maintain control and not be easily tempted by the game he sees. Even though this will be very difficult for gamblers, it is a positive thing that will have a good impact on someone's life.
That is what gamblers who succeed in winning from gambling should do and instead use their winnings to chase other wins because that will not always provide another win. By enjoying their winnings on vacation, they can refresh their minds and take a break from gambling for a while. And after they have finished resting, they can return to gambling again as usual and will not forget always to limit their gambling. If they don't stop gambling when they win, they will probably experience more losses than before. So it is not appropriate to continue gambling when you have won, let alone a big win, because we should prefer to enjoy the winnings rather than chasing other wins.

You can forget about the money you lent to your friends because you have managed to win more money than the money you lent. It's like giving someone less than you have, and you get more than you put in. That's okay @OP, because that could be an excuse for you if he wants to borrow more money from you. You can tell him that he has to return the money he previously borrowed from you before you can lend him more money. But if he really doesn't come back to you, it's better just to let him go. He may not dare to meet you because he is already in debt.
1037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: December 04, 2023, 01:39:20 PM
Everyone has their own decision, what percentage of their income a person will spend on gambling depends on his monthly or weekly income. Everyone will gamble according to their financial status and income. I spend 4% to 5% of my monthly income on gambling. But I don't gamble all the time. I mostly invest in Bitcoin and gamble occasionally.
That is a sufficient percentage of a budget for gambling because it is not too big and not too small. And as long as you can control yourself when gambling, that percentage will be enough for gambling. And it is indeed better if the money from your monthly income is used to invest in bitcoin because it promises more profits in the future. By allocating the percentage amount you want in gambling and also investing in bitcoin, you can enjoy gambling activities as intended. You can also make a profit when the price of bitcoin increases. We must be able to maintain the percentage amount for gambling and must not increase the amount of money because that could provide a greater risk of loss.

Without a doubt the environment can shape the beliefs and actions of a person, so in the places where gambling is forbidden by the culture, religion or both, a person will grow up thinking it is wrong and doing what they can to avoid it, but at the places in which the opposite happens and gambling is encouraged as a way to increase the economy activity there, then a person will grow up thinking gambling is a good thing and that they should be free to enjoy it whenever they want.
Even though being a gambler myself, I think it should be avoided at any cost. It's not just about good or bad. People may start gamble as a medium for fun but as times passes, the motives becomes something else. The money the greed the addiction, consumes a gambler destroying everything. Cultural and religious practices are important when it comes to young people. Yes you are correct. It helps gives them to give them a clean direction, a purpose, one that is beneficial to them.
We don't need to blame other people who introduced gambling to us because that will be our responsibility in deciding whether to gamble or not to return to gambling forever. They only introduce it, and if we get deeper into gambling because of the fun we get, it will be our fault because we cannot control ourselves in gambling. But if we can control ourselves well, we won't experience any problems and can instead use gambling as a fun pastime. Indeed, we should use gambling as a medium to have fun but not to try to make money from gambling because gambling is not for that. As long as we can use gambling properly, we will be fine and can enjoy gambling.
1039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 04, 2023, 12:18:16 PM

Yes advertising on gambling sites such as various article publicists, influencing or signature campaigns can be a type of job and can be considered a full time job but gambling is not considered a job. So it is not right to consider or accept it as full time or part time job.  Meanwhile should be taken only as fun. Otherwise gambling addiction can lead to death for you. Gambling does not guarantee profit to anyone so choosing gambling as a job is a big mistake. So you should always keep this in mind
When I started gambling I made good amount of money for a few days. Then I thought of taking up gambling as a career. Later when I realized that there is no guarantee of winning in gambling, I now take up gambling as a hobby.  There are many rules to follow when gambling, such as never getting excited while gambling. Whenever you start gambling with excitement, it won't take long to lose money.
For novice gamblers, it seems normal that they can make a lot of money for a few days, but after that, they will lose as much or even more than they win. And the longer they gamble, the more difficult it will be for them to make money again, and it will be different from when they first gambled. That is why they should not make gambling their career, especially if they cannot control themselves well because there will be moments where you can lose self-control because of gambling. There are many rules that gamblers must follow so that they do not lose a lot of money and become addicted to gambling. But only a few can learn it, while others only experience more losses.

If a crypto casino violates the regulations set by the government, the crypto casino will clearly receive sanctions from the government, and the crypto casino can be asked to close its business. That is why, for now, crypto casinos must be more careful and vigilant regarding suspicions of money laundering that may have been used in crypto casinos. And for well-known casinos, it looks like they will tighten their rules even more to comply with government regulations. Crypto casinos involved in money laundering will definitely be subject to sanctions by the government because they have carried out illegal activities in running their business.
