But to be very honest It's not that easy ending the gambling just like that for that very day, it really demands great discipline to usually stick to the idea as there are occasions I get carried away by my own enthusiasm in the game and snob the thought of stopping since I have managed to get a win. It's as if I turn out to become my own obstacle to my subscribed idea. Lol. Nevertheless, if we're able to keep to standards we have created to guide our conduct, behavior and decisions on how we would handle our gambling life it will earn us a healthy gambling lifestyle.
That is what have lead to many loses for me on so many occasions because of the lack of being able to take a bow and walk aways for that day, most challenging thing in this thing is when goi already win some amount in your games and you believe that if you risk more further you can win more, this is the most dangerous thing to do at all time and we should be able to walk away no matter what position we are in the game, and some of this time we need to really set a strong limits for ourselves in other to use this feature correctly. But then gambling is all about luck and discipline because there is never a guarantee winning and you will not know the outcome of your next game, so for that you must appreciate the one you already won and learn to walk away. I believe in the saying that no risk, no gain, that even in gambling if you don’t risk betting, you will never win. However, the challenge in gambling is not only how to win, but also knowing when to stop when your losses have already outnumbered your winning profits. Although some gamblers can easily address to that, but for most of us, it’s actually hard to leave gambling especially when we are still in profits, or the other way around, trying to chase our losses in attempt to recover the money that was lost. But at the end of the day, the house always wins and gambling is always luck based so there’s no way that we can actually beat the casino and expect consistent wins. |

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems.
People who have become addicted to gambling and think that they can generate income from gambling, are examples of people who will have damaged relationships, whether family, business, or partner. I often meet people like that. When they earn $500 in a month then they use almost 3/4 of their income to gamble. They hope their bet will be good several times over. Some people can use under 10% of their income to have fun, but the problem is that not everyone can control their desires so they don't get addicted. In gambling, one should only bet 5% to 10% of their monthly income, if it goes above that limit, know that you are not making a wise decision. Although it’s hard for most of the gamblers to stick with their betting limit, but for you to play safe with gambling and to limit your losses as well, then gambling at a very small amount is always advisable. However, you can adjust your betting limit if you are winning big consistently. But always bet on the amount that you can always afford to lose. |

Consequences—that's what a gambler who doesn't gamble with the money they are willing to lose will face. Also, gambling at work might reduce the work performance of that employee or gambler, like you said, but I think it all depends on how the gambler handles their losses.
Let's get straight to the point – when you gamble at work, you're just not being a responsible employee. There are clear rules in place for everyone's benefit, and gambling at the workplace is a major no-no. It's a serious offense that could cost you your job. Companies have these rules in place to ensure that everyone is productive, and there's no second chance if you get caught. They already know that your performance at work would be beyond expectation when you're gambling on the clock. |

You know, it's a good idea to have a plan for passing on that seed phrase to someone you trust in case anything unexpected happens. Life is short, my friend, and you never know what might come your way. Sharing the wealth, so to speak, with those you care about while you're still here is a nice thought. As long as they're trustworthy and know how to handle crypto stuff, there shouldn't be any issues with that.

Often new gamblers get fooled by these bonuses and I see it was a working strategy from these scammers. Because what is in the mind of the gamblers is that they could make use of it in gambling. Well, indeed they can but the exchange is much regretting. We can say that deep research is more important than these attractive bonuses because legit casino sites never use this strategy to attract gamblers but instead, they use their reputation and legitimacy to gain attraction and trust. It's frustrating when rookie players fall into this trap. These "too good to be true" freebies are honey traps from untrustworthy platforms. Healthy gambling involves starting in the appropriate position as well as playing the numbers. You must remember that reputable casinos value reputation over rapid cash. Their aim? Providing clean environment for fans. Wake up, beginners! You shouldn't risk your money for extra chips or spins. Do your study and choose sites that prioritize their image over questionable marketing. If anything sounds too good to be true, it probably is Yes, DYOR could actually save you from all the site scams that will come your way. Without doing initial studies on the sites, it's certain that you will really fall on their traps, because for some beginner gamblers, their focus is to make quick profits until they become blinded by these too good to be true bonuses by scam sites. |

Less exposure to gambling means fewer losses or wins because you don't play much on it and you just gamble for fun because that is a low chance that you won't get addicted and will have full control of yourself. I also gamble rarely so I do belong to people who are not willing to risk money. It is true that there are times that you regret not spending much time gambling because of the possibility of winning but that kind of risk is good because I do prefer staying in my comfort zone when it comes to gambling than losing money.
Less exposure to gambling contrarily doesn't mean less loss because the few times you get exposed it's very possible you stake so Large than some one who consistently get exposed to the game, it's very possible someone could consistently stay exposed to the game and yet loose less than you who hardly get exposed to the casino often. This is possibly because you risk so much than they do regardless of how often you visit the casino. But your only advantage is that you less prone to become addicted as compared to those who often visit the casino but then with time if you become too consistent visiting you can gradually build the addiction unknowingly to you, but then it's true less exposure can possibly mean less loss but doesn't guarantee wins aswell. Less exposure will only mean less loss if you are also betting at a minimal capital. But if you bet one time big time, then expect that you will still end up with a huge loss even if the exposure is very less. So regardless if you are a full time or a part time gambler, your losses will only depend on your betting amount. You bet high, you lose big, and wins big as well. But if you bet low, you also lose and win at a small basis. |

As far as I'm concerned, gambling isn't a platform to find honest people and shouldn't be an avenue to test the people's sincerity. The purpose of gambling is to get massive wins at the end of the day and that's why almost every gambler will do anything humanly possible to make sure he wins his gambles including cheating. No one would want to stake their hard earned money and never want to get a big reward at the end so that's why gamblers will always continue to manipulate their ways to victory.
We cheats either among ourselves or find means to hacked the system and goes against terms and conditions. We would do anything to gain profits from the system, because everything related to gambling is risks, and these gamblers can afford to take it inother to grab meaningful resources. You're right, gamblers doesn't have these honesty attributes, rather they seek for the benefits of themselves alone, having no concerns of the potential consequences on their colleagues. All gamblers faced the possible outcomes of their actions, be it positive or negative, all that matters is accumulating profits at the end of the day. While it is true that cheating can be highly possible in gambling especially if you are in a constant loss, but that does not mean that we gamble to cheat so we can make big profits at the end of the day. If we see the casino is trying to rigged the games, then we should also do some tricks to keep us winning. However, reputable casinos will never chose to break their credibility that was built for long years, that’s why we should not worry thinking that they resort into cheating their players. |

I’ve been betting in lottery for only couple of months and when I realized that the chance to win is very rare, then I discouraged myself from betting lottery after that. But even in other gambling games, I cannot really say that I’m all out lucky, because there are more actually losses than my winnings. But as long as I stick to my budget limit, I guess that’s fine for me. However, when asked if I’ll gonna quit eventually after a big win, for me not really. Because to be honest, I will be more encourage to bet again hoping that I can win another big amount.

Probably a lot of us are gambling at work. And for me it’s not bad actually until your boss has caught you gambling, lol.
Well, I do agree on OP that gambling could be a threat for your work performance. It really is obviously, especially if you are on a constant loss, your job performance will really decrease. But maybe it also depends on the employee itself. If you can manage your emotions while gambling and at the same time you did not lost your focus on your job, then both will work at the same time. But for most of the employees, just observe discipline. When you are at work, then focus only on your work. And when you are on a break time, that’s the time you can entertain yourself through gambling.

there are many ways to overcome addiction at a lower cost and more effectively and it all depends on the level of addiction.
as I would say, like when someone is addicted to online gambling and when they want to recover from their addiction, they do the initial stages of closing access to the internet, which means not accessing the internet through anything and staying away from news or anything related to gambling and then venting into other activities that are more useful to divert. mind not to think about gambling and if you have the courage to hide yourself not to leave the house, that is also an effective way.
but remember everyone has stages in how addiction occurs. I mean offline or online addiction occurs and it depends on which country he lives in because some countries do not allow gambling businesses so healing yourself from addiction is a little easier if you are in a country that prohibits gambling.
Cutting your internet so you won’t have access with online gambling takes more patience and self-discipline since this is just for your own good. If you can do this, you are one step ahead from not losing in gambling. Another one is to engage yourself into another productive activity like gardening or going out with your friends that are not addicted to gambling as well. That way, you can easily forget your time to gamble since your time is already diverted. And the moment you enjoy doing some of these, then it’s easier for you to treat your gambling addiction. |

It would be difficult to judge your personal case and why Stake decided to retire your account without knowing how did the discussion go. It is not possible either if your were right and mistreated or if you wanted something that was not really fair, but on regards to creating a Union, it is not a bad idea. This forum already gives some basis as you can check complaints and reputations.
If you think the casino is not fair to you and you are being mistreated, then go create a gambler’s union. But let me remind you that once other gamblers have joined in, and share the same problems, just a piece of advice, never jump on any conclusion but learn to investigate first since there’s always two sides of the story. There are gamblers who always play victim but in reality, they are the one’s at fault why the casino has turned down their account. On my point of view, once you decide to play in casinos, you know already the risk and that the casino will always beat the players. So if some gamblers are just joining on the union because they think they are cheated, at least they should know that being at loss even if it’s a consistent loss does not mean that the casino is not already fair and is cheating. |

According to the channel free games are limited and we can only enjoy for a month and now the month is almost over and only VIPs will be entitled to games when the month elapses. I have been having doubts whether to join the VIP zone because I don’t want to be scammed that’s why i want to know your opinions.
What do you all think i should do?
There are two options for you here. Either you can continue for free in the channel, although they will post limited games there. If that was a trial period, and you cannot remain in the group for free, then you can choose to join the paid group depending upon the fee of the group. You have already won a few bets by getting signals from that group, so why not buy the membership using the profit money? Although I do not like these VIP paid memberships betting signals groups, but since you had a good experience and also your own analysis mostly led to the lost in bet, so why not use the service and gain some money? It’s for you to decide mate. But as for me, if you have proven it to yourself that this channel is somewhat reliable for all your profits, then why not take the risk? You have made decent profits from your previous bets so I don’t think it will be a loss for you if you try one. Good thing here is you did not jump on your decision, at least you try to observe the channel first and win some bets, so I guess it will be a good try to buy the membership and let’s see what will happen next. |

I do not know if this has been discussed before, but I want to know why most discussions on sports asides tennis is about the men's side of it and the women side is about only barely mentioned. Take football for example. Why is there low engagement in women sports from the side of viewers and even gamblers who are sports bettors? Is it not easier to win on gambling on women sports than men's sport? or is there no gambling site offering odds for betting on women sports?
Majority of men are involved in gambling than women, that’s why most of the gambling games are certainly for men. Although women are not limited to also play with it, but it’s the men that actually get a high winning rate when it comes to gambling. And for the gambling casinos to stay in profits, they will surely offer games where there are high interest and are mostly played by players. Otherwise, the casino will be at loss if they serve more women games than men games. |

Ever heard of cross addiction or suffered from it?
What do you think?
I hadn't heard about this term but I experienced it myself but it doesn't relate to gambling. Reducing the expenditure from 100 to 20 is good from a financial perspective but still, the addictive nature of the person remains and who knows where it leads so cross-addiction is not a good thing, and the long-term remedy is to treat the addictive nature or if someone wants to treat themselves which is possible at the early stage by challenging their urge and limiting their actions gradually. I have heard cross addiction but I never got the chance to understand it better. Now that I have clearly understood it, I must say that cross addiction is just as worst as your first gambling addiction. As long as there is an abuse, it will certainly create a negative outcome. If you can’t deal with your main addiction, then how can you manage taking cross addiction. Of course, the outcome will always be negative. That is why learn to admit your main addiction in the first place and treat it by being open minded and even ask help from a medical expert or from your family so you can get rid with it. Cross addiction will not be helpful, it will only worsen your condition as your addiction grows even bigger. |

I somewhat agree with the first half of your advice because taking breaks is one way to reset your session and it can help you consistently avoid making bad decisions if you're one of those emotional gamblers. You lost me at the other half because your luck could continue the way it was after your break and could last for more than a single session. I tried to try other game, all you need not just push keep playing but tried to taking a break if you get a worst section on some-type game. Like, for the next 2-3 weeks still get the same worst section on (Slot) try to other game maybe (live-games) with BJ/Baccarat or other game.
I used to do this as well, but instead of changing from one game to another, I would switch casinos every week because I thought opening a new account would mean resetting my luck. If you are already experiencing a long losing streak, then for me it’s best to take a break from your gambling habit. Because when you decide to change games or change casinos, you are not freeing yourself from another losses but instead, you are attracting more losses in the process the fact that you still spend time to gamble. Know that you won’t limit your losses in gambling unless you decide to stop from gambling even for a while. For me, that is actually good for you to rest and unwind yourself so you can gamble again with a more positive and fresh mindset on gambling. |

It may hard to believe but yes, there are really some lucky gamblers who have made a successful career in gambling. But for sure, they don’t reach that level instantly. They may have endured a lot of losses at first until they start to master their gambling strategies and attract some luck most often. Though this is really risky to consider gambling as a career, but if you are capable to make it happen, then why not? But you need to have a real job of course to back up your gambling career so that if ever you lose your luck in gambling, at least your finances will not end up collapsing as well.

Dog race might also be as interesting as horse race, but I have never seen casinos that have adopted dog race either online or live. Well, we have these bargain talents of dogs at some certain places but never seen dog race. And if ever this will be adopted in casinos, I think it will attract lot of bettors but I prefer to bet it online because it’s just so heartbreaking to see real dogs having serious injuries while trying to win the race.

It’s certainly a good approach if you are on a winning streak. You get your profits and then gamble on a fixed allocated amount. But how about if you are losing consistently? Even if you say you set your budget to bet, and then you still lose them all, then how can you earn that way? Let’s just accept the reality that there’s no earning guarantees with gambling. Once you gamble, you are entitled to lose nor win, but mostly it’s the losses actually. And if you’re not wise enough to diversify your profits into potential investments like crypto, you will never have the chances to earn passively.

Well, if you gamble and just expect on your luck the whole time, then never anticipate that you will get to improve your chances of winning. No matter how luck based those games are, you still need to gain knowledge and understanding on whatever game you decide to play, and even master your skills so you can deceive your opponent at some point. Gambling is like trading somehow. Mastery will gain advantage over other players, and if you gamble on the games that you have high background on it, you will definitely have an edge on defeating other players.

Money is certainly the best tool to reveal the kind of person you are. If you are greedy, you would want to keep all your money in yourself and not care sharing some tips to your friends. Which I think is certainly a very bad sign that money is everything in you even if you lose all your friends and love ones. Well, this is not new anymore but in most cases, those who try to be greedy in this kind of situation will certainly regret it doing later on. Remember that money can easily vanish like thin air if you don’t know how to use it wisely. And when that happens, you have no one to turn to because you lose your friends while you’re busy enjoying your millions.
