Gambling everyday will just make you an addict to it. There’s no justification that it won’t make you addicted to it. It doesn’t matter if you gamble everyday and win or you gamble everyday and lose, it will make you an addict and if you can’t control yourself it will even make you to lose important money that is supposed to have been used for something more valuable to you. Your friends claim might work out for him but it will make him an addict unless he can control himself and if you want to follow his ways you might not be able to control your emotions to it and you could become addicted to it and can make your life miserable . It is better you don’t follow his ways and have your own ways of approach on how to gamble.

What people say about gambling is their opinion and shouldn't be considered as something that'll work. Most times it's speculation and these gamblers who win after playing for a long time forget that they've been losing in the process. A gambler must win. It's not a game where a player won't gain some money after a while of trying. Not gambling for few days doesn't mean the gambler will not win. Every gambler's goal differs, people are free to voice their responses, depending on the perspective they've got for gambling. The strategy is that of his friend, and may work out for him. However, if the gambler doesn't follow due procedures he could be heading to being addicted. You are right, Op can devise his personal strategy, if he feels gambling once a while could fetch him more wins, then it's not a bad decision. Without our differences in ideas and opinion, gamblers would be making same mistakes. So, diversifying our strategies helps gamblers to get unique results. Some win and others lose.

Martingale method may work for few people that are lucky enough to recover the losses but for most people it will never work. Rather it will just going to make the losses become even more bigger. I will never ever recommend this to some for people who are worried about the losses they have made when they are planning to chase for it and try to take it back. I simply suggest to cool down call it a day and get to gambling on the other day or on the next day. It is hard to see people getting broke because of this common mistake.

Martingale strategy isn't a preferable method of raising our chances of winning in gambling. Those who practice this method end up chasing losses and it's not advisable as you said. The need to double or increase the amount of money we wager, easily finishes the player's bank roll. Unless a player is ready to lose a significant amount of money before winning, he shouldn't use the martingale strategy. Winning is not certain in gambling, players are expected to reduce the amount of money they spend while gambling, instead of increasing it. We understand that, at some point the gambler could win, but it doesn't worth the risk, as the money may not be equated to the lost money. High rollers may try this method and gain a better profit, but a low roller who does same thing could regret his decision. Hence, it's better to use the Martingale strategy on some sure investments like purchasing shares in a prominent company, than using it to gamble hoping on a big win.
1123  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: January 08, 2024, 02:56:28 PM
I agree with what you said that it is very easy for someone to be able to gamble their money on a casino platform but the most difficult thing is knowing when to stop. Because the bad habit of most gamblers is that they risk more money when they have earned more than their initial capital. They think that by gambling more money, it will give them the opportunity to win more money and make them rich, even though what happens is the opposite, where they can lose more money and in the end they will be stressed about it. Knowing when to stop is one of the keys to being a responsible gambler and all gamblers should know this.
The best way for those who have the habit of not being able to stop playing when they win is to withdraw some of the winnings and continue with the rest. The portion may be such as 80:20, or 50:50 of the total balance won at that time. So, there has been a withdrawal of more money than the initial deposit he got. However, make sure that the money that has been withdrawn is not used for playing again. LOL

I have my own rule when it comes to this.I won some days ago,no longer than this last Friday a big amount.I used that 80 to 20 withdraw rule and I invested that amount somewhere where I get additional recurring benefit as I buy a huge amount of cheap cryptos which I stake them to get this passive income through the year and the golden rule is to never get that money to gamble it again.That is the best one can do after winning.

Taking some profits from our wins is the right strategy as gamblers, gambling all of it wouldn't help us on the long run. The only problem I face in gambling is that most times the money kept for gambling would run out, hence I'd need to take out money from a different source to finance gambling. So, I prefer keeping the wins aside and gamble them gradually. Whatever comes from gambling should be added to the bank roll, then manage it such that I'd not run out of funds anymore. It's mainly about the control and management. That doesn't stop the gambler from quitting his gambling session, if he's questioning his ability to withstand his obsessions after a win. Your strategy, Swogerino, depends on how much you won and the amount of money that makes up the 20% you set aside for gambling. If it'll be enough to take you on a long gambling period till your next win, then it's a good strategy.
1124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Features of the worldview of a gambler on: January 08, 2024, 02:36:14 PM
Optimism is a dual thing. On the one hand, as has already been correctly noted, optimism can protect you from harsh reality. On the other hand, if it is pathological, it can cause you to continue to believe in illusions and go on a long losing streak, which is only briefly interrupted by winnings and does not affect the overall statistics. Such optimism sucks you deeper into debt.
  Are there any other pathological features in the worldview of a gambler?
  Maybe naivety? Lack of analytical thinking? Not working hard enough?

Isn't it as a result of a psychological problem?  addicts hardly notice they're addicted, but when they do, sharing it with people is the last thing on their mind. I'd say that what could have caused pathological optimism in gambling addicts is the reaction of people around them, when they're made aware of the player's addiction. Some would blame the gambler, which could add insult into the injury. Other pathological features in the worldview of a gambler is that he'd want to solve his problem gambling himself. Most addicts believe since the problem is self inflicted they can resolve it without the help of anybody. The process of trying to heal on their own, then adds more years or months to the addiction which then gets more severe until it can't be hidden anymore. It's common amongst addicts to behave this way. Pathological optimism is a stage of gambling addiction where the gambler is now aware of his problem. In the initial stage the gambler wouldn't know he's addicted. A gambler that lacks critical thinking and money management can get addicted.
1125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: January 08, 2024, 02:20:15 PM
Since I've seen the unexpected, I think it's wise to know what you're getting into. Not even reputable sites are what they seem. I consider knowledge self-care, especially for money. Like putting on a seatbelt, it's simple but vital. Casual gaming makes it tempting to ignore fine print. Had been there! Even a casual game can have consequences if we don't know the rules. Not paranoia, but clever play. Understanding the terminologies is like knowing the game's rules for serious gamers. Being safe and alert can improve your gaming experience. Some pre-reading always saves me trouble later. Doesn't peace of mind justify a few minutes of reading?

It's funny how people spend hours each day on casinos but feel lazy to read the terms and condition of the casino for just an hour or two. People claim it's boring to read those terms, but I think one can fast forward to the section that most interests them, especially the rule involving deposit and withdrawal. Gamblers have fallen victim of banned account because they failed to read the terms and condition of the casino. Staying ignorant of the rules can make a gambler dull when asked question pertaining why he's been banned from a casino. A gambler need to know the locations that's been restricted in the casino and the gaming providers he should avoid due to his country. By reading the TOS he should be aware if VPN is allowed in the casino. Bypassing the requirement to read the rules makes things difficult for the gambler to defend himself when in trouble of recovering a banned account.
1126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 08, 2024, 01:59:20 PM
Well I will always see lending money as something that is not viable, therefore to assume having a good loan to be able to play is something that I consider a little irresponsible to play, there is nothing better than doing it with our own money, that is what The best thing that can be done, I personally would never do something like that, for me lending money has to be something strictly necessary and for an emergency, something like a medical issue, an operation like that, because it is something different, something that is really worth it. It's worth doing it, but I think that to play or do something in a casino I don't see it as correct, I really don't know how to explain it, but I start from the fact that when you want to lend money you have to look for something that is actually worth it, no. For whatever reason, that's just what I think, maybe my training since I was a child was always based on good customs, because money always has to be well managed, but to give yourself pleasure and lend money is not good.

Borrowing to gamble doesn't worth, the stress that walks with borrowing money isn't safe for gambling. Being in debt upsets the brain, especially for a person who doesn't know how to clear his debts. Those who have the money and borrows, may not be bothered like a person that doesn't have such money. The gambler that borrows to gamble in most occurrences ends up losing out all the money. It's preferable to borrow money when handling a project, not just relying on the loan alone, the person needs a back up. If things doesn't sit right, he'd used the backed up money to balance the debt. Op was only carried away by the fantasies of winning big. How he'd spend the money and still have some left for paying back his debt. Gambling with our money is better and rests the mind of the gambler to take the right predictions. Instead of being in a hurry in predicting games.
1127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 08, 2024, 01:43:39 PM
It is normal for friends and relatives to be annoyed with the gambler's attitude because he does not gamble responsibly, especially if he borrows money and cannot pay it back, of course his family, friends and relatives will bear everything that the careless gambler does. Therefore, his relatives do something to stop the gambler, but in my opinion, even though they want to make various efforts, if the person is basically addicted, it will be difficult to stop him, he will do whatever it takes to keep gambling.

This is why every individual certainly cannot think about the impact, such as experiencing losses even though they have reached their last drop of blood and being forced to borrow to continue their activities, where this will happen again, namely losing all the borrowed money and not producing anything. Gambling addiction is very dangerous and it even feels like gamblers are being brainwashed into continuing to gamble before winning.

That's right, if they gamble irresponsibly then it will become a burden on their family, even if they borrow from their own relatives or family members most likely they will not pay it because they feel that their own family is unlikely to make an issue of it, but in reality everyone is sensitive to their finances, so even if they borrow money from their family they still have to pay and repay it because it is their own responsibility which is the act of themselves doing it.

I think that's right, those who are addicted to gambling are brainwashed so they will continue to gamble until they get a really big win, people who are addicted to gambling of course they will do anything that can make money with the aim of the money to use gambling, and the bad side is that they might be able to commit criminal acts that can harm others. and this is one of the bad effects of gambling addiction.

The gambler doesn't feel this pain, only the family that does because it's not a simple task for family to handle all the troubles he may have caused them. So the family of the gambler needs to accept the challenge and endeavor to help the person out of addiction. We have seen families who neglect all the symptoms and think that the player may get out of his problem gambling soon, but it persists. A family with less experience on how gambling addiction operates in human brain don't really care about their ward who is addicted until he begin to act strange and accumulate debts which the family would end up clearing. Healing a struggling person should be a team work. This is the time the person needs his loved ones the most. Nobody is being brainwashed, it's more of a mental problem and not all gamblers are aware of the impacts of not having self control could cause to their life and that of the family.
1128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 08, 2024, 01:28:04 PM
I always hear stories of friends who always lose playing online gambling. I don't know what his purpose to tell his story to me. even it's clear, his story makes him look stupid.

Besides that, in another place, Many young people around to me still play slot gambling even don't have a job and always lose. I wonder where they get the money for deposits? and why they repeat that?. I don't know what the reason reason that doesn't bother them, they should have given up, and changed the game that makes them profitable. if I always lose in the game, I will change the type of game, example If I always lose on a slot, I will change the type of game like sports betting until my capital is back and try the luck again to the slot.

This is addiction. many people enjoy gambling and there are many who become addicted to gambling because of their desire to win and the desire to win big. And that's why even if a gambler loses, he goes to gamble again and again.  You cannot keep people who are so addicted from gambling.  They will turn to gambling again and again and if you advise them and tell them about the bad side of gambling, from then on they will gamble under your cover but will not be able to quit gambling.

It's quite certain that nobody can detect how these people get money to gamble. But that doesn't make lots of sense to worry about the next gambler. It only affects our thoughts as gamblers and could make us lose out on our game. How they get their money is their business. However, the only concern as gambler we are to look into is the need to help the ones who can't help but to get addicted. Those ones are the only threat to the gambling community. As it's not only affecting the addict, the entire gamblers would be referred to as one in the eyes of people who have seen an addict misbehave in his family. Sometimes advising them only ignites the fire in them to gamble more. Because they wouldn't accept your idea, as they'll think you don't want them to win big. We can help them in different ways especially through befriending the addict. They easily trust fellow gamblers than non gamblers, due to the flow of discussion.
1129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A hero or a fool? on: January 08, 2024, 01:12:02 PM
Preventive measures and reducing the risk of losing money when gambling is a must for gamblers. Unfortunately, many gamblers don't pay attention to this because they want to win and instead use more and more money to gamble. They don't win but lose, making them even more frustrated because they can't win the gambling game. Gambling provides great temptation to all gamblers, and only wise gamblers can avoid this temptation and gamble comfortably because they don't think too much about winning. They can make decisions to avoid gambling when they don't feel like gambling.
In the case of the man that OP has mentioned, there's no way that's going to make a dent to his gambling problem because he's still gambling and at the same time he's still gambling right and it's much worse because he's also limited when it comes to wins which means it's all losses for him.

The fact he's realized his mistakes can help the gambler to struggle out of addiction. His problem could be worse if he never noticed it or felt remorse for his activities. What he did is the right thing, at least he'd be observing himself and the restriction will help remind him of his decision. Changing is not easy and one will undergo series of process before he'd be free from gambling addiction. You don't expect him to stop immediately. He just did what he thinks is right for himself. Other gamblers may not do anything for themselves except for the help of people around him. Reducing the amount of money also controls him to know that regardless of what he does in gambling he won't win more than the specific amount. Hence stopping his urge to chase losses. Losing out his rent on gambling shows that he must have been looking to win huge amount of money in gambling, which then led him to addiction. His decision is fine.

It is a fact, when it comes to doing things better, one can say that they can be done Better when they do not regret it. I know many people who always feel sorry for Everything , and the truth is that it is something that bothers me a lot , Because in Instead of regretting, they should look for a way to turn it around and get out of the problem, from the regrets because nothing good comes of it, with nutrition things can never turn out well, a person who regrets radiates very negative energy and is a fact that activates in your brain not being able to solve Anything , this is what causes this type of thoughts, therefore when we think about doing something better, we can't think of something right, because things tend to be very Different when we hear them. manifest , that's why when we are anywhere we can take for granted that things are Necessarily difficult and we have to overcome those Obstacles , I know that in a game session things can Turn out all the other way around , because it is normal , the  Casino is Usually like that, but we have to see what can improve.


Regrets is same with living in the past. Those who regret a lot miss out on what is to come in future. Their urge to gamble and replace their thoughts or stop regretting only pushes them to make mistakes. Which increases the rate the gamblers thinks of himself not being competent enough in gambling. However, the brain gets disturb a lot and wouldn't perform well as expected, because the gambler keeps blaming himself and others for his troubles. The human brain needs to be left alone to focus, else it'll not deliver our emotions with those things that interests us, as gamblers. Hence, regretting is only not a sign of being a responsible gambler, but shows lack of experience. Those who have been having losses in gambling don't have need to regret as it's now a part of them and they are aware some days the result would turn around in their favor. Redirecting the thought helps a lot in energizing the gambler to make better decisions.

      Please note that the patient will resist to the last. He will give counterarguments. For example, that he will get rich in the future, he’s just not lucky yet.
    What other arguments do you think the patient will give? How do you respond to these arguments of his?
Firstly, when trying to help an addict free from gambling the stories of other people's gambling lifestyle can be used as a case study. It is not new that addiction in gambling has really destroyed the life of so many gamblers.  You will make the gambler to understand that he needs help to free from addiction , that winning is not about playing much games. Gambling is just just luck that winning doesn't determine how much games that are played.

You make the gambler understand that gambling result will always be unpredicted and their is no guarantee that in the future their will be a time when one will become rich from gambling,  so their is no need investing much in gambling.

Gamblers who visit a therapist need to accept their faults or they'll have a hard time with therapy. He'll be ready to share those lifestyles with the therapist to help the healing process. Healing an addict sometimes goes wrong due to the therapist's inability to effectively contribute responses that'll help the addict understand that the therapist has an idea of what he's going through. Hence a therapist who has no accurate idea of how addiction works may not handle the case of a gambler. Hence in such a clinic, If I'm to be the therapist, engaging with the addict and sending out meaning responses to help elongate the discussion duration between us would be my best tool in curing an addict. Giving him advises will only erupt an argument, which wouldn't be of great help to the addict. Becoming his friend is the most effective means of solving a problem gambler's troubles.
1132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: January 08, 2024, 12:18:11 PM
As you are gambling, make sure to use the money won to do something that you will be proud of and happy about. You can invest some in Bitcoin, buy properties, etc.
Do not use all the money back to gamble, that's not wise.
This is true. If you are one of the gamblers out there who is fortunate to win in gambling, think smart by withdrawing your profit and use the money to buy something good for yourself. It happened to me before as well, though the amount is not that huge. Just enough to buy food and some nice clothes. Well, it's been a while now since I last win in gambling. Anyway, congrats for winning and spending it for something useful for you. That's a wise decision.

Winning in gambling is not simple and when we win it's interesting to celebrate in any meaningful way that can improve our gambling experience. If you play gradually and follow some ethics you could win again. It's rare to find a gambler who haven't won some significant amount in the past. What matters is the consistency, how often the player wins. Gamblers who have other utilities that interests them are to be encouraged to maintain such attitude. Because as gamblers we need not to be intrigued by gambling alone. Switching interest within intervals helps us to escape addiction. A player like Op would hardly get addicted because he have other things he needs to add to his living room. Hence, he doesn't think about gambling alone, or investing his winnings back to gambling. Using our winning responsibly is a crucial aspect of gambling, every gambler need to adapt, instead of wagering all on gamble at once. Splitting it helps in maintaining our bank roll.
1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 08, 2024, 11:41:53 AM
When the money begins to creep in, the newbie is most likely going to have a hard time controlling his emotions. Unless he's focused on learning new skills in gambling, he'd look out for more wins. This births the stage where the gambler has a confusing mind on what to do, as he lacks a mentor that can guide him and advise him to continue playing using is usual gambling method. Most often the player wouldn't recognize playing to enjoy the game as a good strategy, that's he'll dump it and move ahead to go for more wins. However in games other than slot, the player would need to master them to be able to win. On a lucky day, they can win while playing in the midst of a professional. It always feels good to win, but the same joy could yield reckless gambling in the journey of newbie gamblers. Newbies who began gambling in a physical casino would have some professionals to guide them on ways to gamble compared to the online casino. Like the player in your response, he'd receive advice from other gamblers on ways to maintain accurate gambling strategies, to avoid losing out more money.

A newbie has no reason to worry about his loss, instead, he should focus more on discovering how gambling works for them. Our daily gambling experiences are not similar. The reason why a professional can lose to a newbie. We don't gamble from the moon, humans come to gamble after some days of work or stress. What we think at the moment of gambling can affect the results of our predictions. Regardless of the gambler's level if his day wasn't cool and fine he'd have a hard time winning in gambling. Especially for gamblers who are dependent on the reward of gambling. Whoever must stay on the positive side of gambling, should always endeavor to keep his days emotionally stable, and avoid any form of disturbing thoughts, while gambling. As it has to deal with money and the brain. When the brain gets complicated with different thoughts and ideas combined, the player can have a hard time coming up with accurate predictions.
Even though he learns new skills, that doesn't guarantee he can always win at gambling games. He must remember that gambling is about winning and losing, so one cannot always win. Perhaps he can win at sports betting based on skill and luck, but for other gambling games, it doesn't seem like it will guarantee he can win easily. And when he continues to try to gamble just because he wants to win more often than other gamblers, he can become a gambler who is addicted to gambling without realizing it. That will be far from his achievement of becoming a professional gambler.

Meanwhile, to become a professional gambler, a person must have so many things to learn and practice that they cannot master them quickly. A professional gambler will try to control himself when gambling. Even if he encounters difficult opponents, nothing will affect him. He can also decide when he should stop gambling and never think about continuing gambling if the situation does not allow it.

A professional gambler can lose against a novice gambler when he loses control of himself, and a professional gambler can lose, especially if he is too persistent in gambling. Meanwhile, novice gamblers who are uncomfortable in their initial games become more and more confident with the situation in the next round. He can adapt himself well to gambling and remains calm even though he is up against a professional gambler who is experienced in gambling games. If a beginner loses control of himself due to pressure from professional gamblers and cannot resist it, he will eventually experience loss. Usually, novice gamblers will not be able to control themselves when they lose and will be provoked by their emotions due to pressure from professional gamblers. And this can be used well by a professional gambler to keep beating him until all his money is gone.

The professional gamblers have been in the game for a long time and could handle all the troubles associated to gambling. It's one reason people could call them profession in the gambling niche. But on the long run, everyone loses in gambling. Because the game knows no newbie or professional. It's mostly about the luck and few skill. Even while betting on football games the highly experienced gamblers end up losing in the process. However the professionals have unique personalities. Some may have the strong discipline not to go against their strategies, and others wouldn't mind twisting their choices depending on the nature of the game. If they're losing they'll trying to win using another strategy which they're not aware of how it'll work or not. That's why you'd hear the professionals say that gambling has no winning strategy, because they've tried it and figure the truth behind gambling. Every gambler should have their strategy and abide by it to stay on a safe lane.
1134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I could have won bigger. on: January 08, 2024, 11:28:23 AM
I could have been happy that my money is with my friend even if I won in gambling, because I could have lost too, so far he is going to pay you back why worry?

You could have won big indeed, but you could have also lose big as well, you don't have to blame him, the role he played that day could have save you from losing your whole bankroll too.

I would rather win very little in gambling instead of chasing the biggest wins, because gambling is a game of lucky and the chances of losing big is also present, but if you risk very little and win some money it's free money, it doesn't have to be millions of dollars.

Normally gamblers face this type of expression when they win, because they've been losing for quite a significant amount of time. Hence, if the gambler then sees a win, they'll wish the wagered money was a huge amount of money. This happens due to the need to win big amount too. But, as you said, gambling is a tricky game and those who don't understand this would wager huge amount and lose it. Hopefully Op was meant to win the game, but assuming his friend didn't borrow the money she could have spent a high amount, then added some games to the list which could have resulted to a lose. It's fine Op takes the win and celebrate. The most aspect of it is, Op will definitely spend the money. It's better the friend is with the money, and will pay when Op needs the money. He could pay with interest. We all can feel this way, but it should be considered as part of the fun.

~snip~
Occurrence like the old man and his family should serve as a lesson to people who wants to venture into gambling. They need to understand that if they don't follow some good routines when gambling they can lose out their control and misbehave. Doing things that would land them in jail. Then families on the other hand should begin to put their ears on the ground regarding the activities of a family member who gambles a lot. So that they can understand what exactly to be done to help the person out of his troubles. Because, when a little trouble is neglected it'll buzz to a bigger trouble which can diminish the growth of the family. Gamblers are expected to stay learning before and after joining the gambling niche. The elderly man may have been neglected and wasn't asked about why his money keeps running low. As a problem can't ignite without a symptom. His family may have seen that he's consistently asking for money. But didn't ask questions. In a nutshell, families and newbie gamblers should learn from things like this, and abstain from being victims.
Just by gambling more often can cause them to lose control of themselves in gambling, so we really have to be able to pay attention to ourselves when gambling. We must not be like those who have lost a lot of money from gambling because it is not worth it for us, especially for those of us who, from the start, only wanted to use gambling as entertainment. When someone has become addicted to gambling, they can do all the things they can do and even those that don't seem to make sense, so it makes many people question why they can do that. This is just a small example of what has happened in society that we must avoid because, after all, experiencing a gambling addiction can be dangerous for our lives and those of our families, so we must really be able to prevent it from happening to us.

Gambling often times is stressful and could derail a gambler's brain power to reason in a smart way. Most gamblers we've came across misbehaving were not gamblers, but the moment they began gambling they abused the rules of the game. Not sure they knew the rules. They only played gambling without any orientation or research about the need to gamble. Many of them gambled because of peer influence, and after multiple years of engaging in gambling, they can't stay a day without gambling. Some of which does not stop after being cured of addiction, still gamble, but limits it. Hence, I'd say that those gamblers only begin to learn about gambling after they've been cured of their problem gambling. Then those who followed the rules of gambling and still got addicted where actually not giving the brain a break to rest. Thereby overworking themselves to the point their thoughts wasn't conducive for gambling.

80 percent of gamblers are average people, who gamble with the hope of doubling the hustle, there are good business for a rich man with Money, not necessarily gamble but real business, so as we playing the gamble we just know say we want just cash out money.

Most gamblers can be so greedy that after playing and maybe cashing out, they will still Wana use the profit and get more profits and will end up loosing everything to gamble,


Anyone could be a victim of all this you said, including the rich business man. The only difference between these people is that one person depends solely on the money he earns through gambling and gets emotionally driven if he's lost money while gambling. While the rich businessman only gamble for the sake of gambling and have fun in the process. Because they have other businesses to focus on they wouldn't gamble every day, they'll be occupied and have other activities to execute instead of gambling. Gambling is not meant to be seen as a side hustle. It only began with the low rollers, who wants to win big money through gambling. On the long run it doesn't help them, it also affects the rich people who don't respect the gamble responsibly rule. That doesn't mean that every low roller is after the money, some gamble responsibly and focus on their business. On the other hand, a rich man can decide to be low roller and vice versa.

Most of the casino sites I use to gamble have the same rules that governed the gambling center and, once I have read the rules and regulations that involved in that casino, I don't need to waste my time to read their rules before gamble in another day. And if I win in any of the casino center and the operator feel like they want to have some share with me in that money I won, I will let them know that I knew all the rules that governed the casino center and they will give me my money complete.
Although most terms and conditions in casinos are similar but there can big a big difference that may make you regret if you do not read it in advance.
Important thing like minimum withdrawal, withdrawal fee, wagering requirement, KYC, restricted jurisdiction can be different and it may give significant effect to your account.
You do not need to waste your time to read the whole terms but at least you should know what is/are the most important terms based on your own preferences.

The Terms of service of a casino affects gamblers who won big in the casino and seek to withdraw. Recently, like what Panjul said in his response, some casino hardly pay out to gamblers who won big, without doing prior research whether the player has made any mistake that goes against the casino's terms of service. Which is the main reason gamblers need to carefully read the TOS before depositing money in any casino. Because boycotting a rule can get an account banned. Thereby not allowing access to the money in the account. These complaints are scattered on any gambling forum one can get their hands on, and the player would blame the casino. Instead of undergoing these problems, the gambler need to glance through the write up despite being quite too long to read. It won't take so much time to finish reading. When I read through a casino's terms of service, I enjoyed reading it along the line. The problem with gamblers is, the writeup looks tiring that the gambler wouldn't bother reading in the first place.

Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life it’s own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning
No body gets happy loosing be it gambling or something else so most likely it's obvious that people get sad when they loose not minding the fact that they may be gambling for fun but then they may not really get emotional about it and may aswell not let it get to them because they weren't overly expectant about the game so it's outcome be it positive or negative has got little or no effect on them and that's why they would say that they were gambling for fun.

There are people who actually gamble for fun not minding if they lose or win but if they win the fun becomes greater and if they lose they still have nothing to lose because they are still going to get the fun they desired to get before ever starting to gamble.

The best example to your explanation is that people don't actually get sad after spending money. As they got what they've paid for in the market or mall. Gamblers think that way, while others would accept that losing is part of gambling, many gamblers allow it to get to their subconscious and never forget about it and work hard to win by all possible means. That's the difference between those who gamble, and don't actually get affected by losses and those who worry about the loss. Another significant attribute of such gamblers is the fact that they actually gamble lesser amount of money. Imagine buying a car with all the money you've got, and along the line it was seized by custom officials. Wouldn't it be traumatizing? But if the buyer purchased a bicycle with his money and it got lost he wouldn't bother about it, even he'd laugh over it because it didn't affect his main funds in any way. Hence, gambling with whooping amount of money only gets the gambler sad when he loses the money.

Yes, every gambler must own everything you mentioned so they will not fall into gambling. Maybe we don't need to interpret it too complicatedly and just need to understand that gambling requires clear restrictions so that we don't gamble excessively. We must be able to use it as a free time activity and immediately stop gambling when we start gambling for too long. By practicing everything, we can use gambling as it is and will not try to chase the win because it will not be easy to get.

If everything can be done responsibly, we can enjoy gambling as entertainment and fill our free time. We will not consider how to recover from previous losses or win bigger wins. Everything will only be done with self-control and awareness that enjoying gambling is the most important thing and not chasing the end result. Some people may want to win or recover from their losses, but as long as they realize it won't be easy, they won't be eager to get it.

Staying responsible while gambling is crucial in any gambler's life, it's not an easy task, but the strategies which elevates responsible gambling should be practiced by gamblers. As the outcome of being compulsive in gambling, is demeaning in the life of gamblers. It's a personal choice though, but at some point, gamblers don't have a choice. They forget about all the strategies they've learnt before participating in gambling. It could be as a result of not being attentive to the amount of money that has been wagered while gambling, then after the day is over, the gambler begin to worry about how he'd lost all the money he had for other things. Gamblers need to stay attentive and not lose out control. Losing money in gambling is as a result of lost of control. The discipline to remember our gambling strategies is crucial. However, if a gambler is not prepared to remember the advise and strategies shared by other members, they can craft theirs, which would be easier to recur like Op did.
I agree. Managing your gambling game is like dieting at a candy store. Tough, right? However, strategy is key, as you indicated. First step? Recognize losing control

Like crafting your own healthy snack recipe, its personal and more likely to stick. Great point about how Op made theirs. Why not personalize your gambling? Consider a "fun budget" your gambling "cheat meal". Not restricting, but enjoying responsibly.

Remember that gambling should be like seasoning: a little goes a long way, but too much will ruin the dish. Keep balance, be vigilant, and have fun. The game should be enjoyed without taking over your life, not simply the money.

Enjoyed reading your response, and with such texts too much of it wouldn't be fun too, you gauged it and knew when to stop writing. It applies in all walks of life. People think gambling is something different from other things we do in life. Sugar is good for the health, but excessive of it affects us health wise. Obese people eat same food as non obese people, but the difference is regulation. Addicted gamblers don't do anything else other than what non addicted gamblers do; gamble. But the problem is on how long one party gambles and how well he's able to control his urge for gambling. Restricting could sound difficult to the person, hence your idea of enjoying the game responsibly can be a better alternative. In the sense that if the player is able to control himself and enjoy the process, he'd be the happiest gambler. Because he won't face any trouble in his gambling journey. Instead he'd gain the fun and soon begin to win due to his strategy of gambling without troubling his mind.

It happened in our country in Bangladesh the illiterate people of slum they are not properly aware with gambling they don't know management they just play and earn. That is risky for that reason they lost huge more then they earn. That's the reason they suffer in their family. Gambling madness goes extreme become when they are in loss they are fully crazy to recover it and that type of madness are fully seen in the slum areas of our country.
Yes, it is riskier to do because they do not understand how and what gambling is. As long as they can still make money, they will continue to gamble, and even if they lose, they will still return to gambling. That is what happens to most people when they place their hopes on gambling and make it a source of income that is unreliable. They eventually become addicted to gambling and destroy their household because they have sold many of the things in their house just to have money to use for gambling. This is a wrong mindset, and there should be action from the local government to educate the community so that they can be aware, especially if they have seen many cases occurring around them.

Occurrence like the old man and his family should serve as a lesson to people who wants to venture into gambling. They need to understand that if they don't follow some good routines when gambling they can lose out their control and misbehave. Doing things that would land them in jail. Then families on the other hand should begin to put their ears on the ground regarding the activities of a family member who gambles a lot. So that they can understand what exactly to be done to help the person out of his troubles. Because, when a little trouble is neglected it'll buzz to a bigger trouble which can diminish the growth of the family. Gamblers are expected to stay learning before and after joining the gambling niche. The elderly man may have been neglected and wasn't asked about why his money keeps running low. As a problem can't ignite without a symptom. His family may have seen that he's consistently asking for money. But didn't ask questions. In a nutshell, families and newbie gamblers should learn from things like this, and abstain from being victims.
