It's hard to stop when you are already in the momentum either you are experiencing losing streak or you are in positive with good numbers of winning streaks, most of the time, instead of quitting your way you will push your way to play more, thinking that there's always more positive outcome that can happen or if you are losing chasing that money and trying to recover is also part of those big factors to lead you in becoming a gambling addicted person.

There are many side effects and it will be depends on different types of gamblers who failed to control and being dominated by gambling addiction.
Yes, that's right, when we have won, of course we will continue to place bets to be able to get even bigger wins and of course we will spend all the winnings we have so that nothing is left behind, including the capital we brought to place bets.

This happens because we cannot control ourselves in gambling, therefore it would be good for us to be able to control ourselves so that we don't get addicted to gambling because if we are addicted to gambling it will certainly have a bad impact on us, especially in terms of finances, we will spend more money on gambling rather than for our own needs.

That's the danger behind this kind of activity, once you got attached that enjoyment will bring you to keep playing and keep chasing for more, if you are not ready to handle that adrenaline, there's a big chance that you will get addicted and that's where all the after-effect are hiding, there are many things that you can't control once addiction already triggered and there are unusual things that you can do that no one will imagine that you will go to that far.
Addiction is something everyone who gambles should avoid and although it's a matter of self discipline but most people are fragile in their mindset and that's why they fall victim to such habit. Addiction in gambling isn't as crazy drug addiction but just imagine when someone is addicted to both things, it mean that person will have it very hard to actually resurrected himself because both the Brain and the mind will struggle from two activity can destroys these part easily.
if you are that someone whos really that having that kind of greedy thinking and behavior then you would really be getting get easily hooked up with gambling addiction or simply in a short time period.
To those who are really that having that kind of control and awareness on such condition are the ones who would really be able to assess out the situation and can really be able to
avoid addiction on such phase. Once you do get hooked with addiction then it would really be that hard to get out and this is something that should really be avoided
in the first place.

Gambling isnt bad as long you are really that doing this with moderation. You cant really be able to find yourself to be successful on gambling field yet this isnt a career
or something which you could really be able to have on long term or brings out benefit but rather this is really just that good for the sake
of entertainment nothingless.

As promised here this bet,damn an odd over 1000 missed by just one game.That shows that my idea is right,if I keep betting loads of such odds with just 50 IDR as minimum bet that is at Stake if I happen to hit once a month would be super awesome,if I hit it once in 2 months is great,if I hit it once in 3 months will be good and if I hit once in 6 months or 1 year would be nice.

I am sure after seeing this bet here you guys will change quite a lot of your opinions,here it is:

https://stake.com/sports/home?iid=sport%3A112734017&modal=bet
I would really be punching the wall on this case.  Grin

That Anaheim Ducks - Vegas Golden Knights did f%cked up this parlay and even if the amount involved is really just that small but still
having this kind of miss will really be that giving that frustration and disappointment.
This do really shows that it could really be possible to have some hit with those kind of betting. As long the amount wouldnt
really be that big then trying out to hit those long parlays then it would really be still worth.

Btw, how many bets you are making in a single day on trying out to follow someone?
1143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: November 07, 2023, 06:13:37 PM
I'm in "Never Get Greedy" because when we do this, for sure you will not end up addicted to gambling, and for sure you will be a responsible gambler because you will also limit yourself to only playing moderately.

You are the kind of gambler who, when greed doesn't enter your life, knows how to limit whether you should continue playing or not, whether you are already winning or losing at the casino. Apparently, in everything you do, you are aware of what you should do as a gambler.
It's not possible for a human being to never get greedy, but some people have enough patience and self-control to control their greed and don't give up in front of it. Such people tend to be responsible gamblers because they don't let their greed or the urge to gamble more when they shouldn't cover and control their minds and make them do what they shouldn't do. So, it's not just greed that makes us go to the losing end, it's our lack of self-control.

Gamblers who can't stop themselves from gambling and always give up when they feel the urge are irresponsible and they also always become greedy and lose whatever they've managed to win so far. That's why, only someone with great self-control can be in the "never get greedy" category of gamblers.
I can attest to this basing up with own experience for how many times specially when you do encounter such situation on which you are really that dealing with some huge amount on which
there are really indeed moments that you would get lost off track or simply that  you do make yourself greedy on such point. Even if we do say that you've got that self control and discipline
but since we are just humans on which being greedy do really looks out to be a natural thing that we do really be able to feel out when it comes to money. We do know on how precious
and important it is into our lives and on the time that you do able to encounter something like this then it would really be that hard to control for that greed to come out
and thats why sometimes we do really still fell into such condition.
1144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cross addictions is Just as Bad. on: November 07, 2023, 09:58:01 AM
Cross addiction is as worst as the main addiction you are trying to quit and it is a terrible idea.
Any addiction is really not good. But if one can move on to another addiction through switching then it is his/her choice since we know it's not really easy to quit.

So a friend told me that a mutual friend tried to replace his gambling addiction with another another one because he has tried all everything else. The new addiction is PS4. He pays for extra on the game and he is getting more and more into it. According to my friend, this mutual friend feels that paying $20 per month its subscription is better than $100- $500 on slots where he ends up losing.
Well, he spend less in his new addiction so he use this reason to justify his action and he is right somehow. But this doesn't mean it is fine to do this because still, it's an addiction and nothing's change. If he really wants to move on the best thing to do is to find other activity where he don't have to lose money to be entertained. Because this is still similar to gambling, he can justify his action but the fact still remain.

Any forms of addiction is never been good, you would really be finding yourself that on a tough situation on which you would really be eventually be able to affect whether your relationship into your family or when it comes to your financial situation on which we should really be needing to avoid it in the first place. Cross addictions? Its never been that good on trying out to solve and addiction via means of other addiction but since we are talking about pc game addiction then it might be somewhat that better compared on gambling but of course we do know that time spent on playing games is never been that appealing for everyone on which there's always that possibility that it might be affecting something. Nothing beats out if you  do really engage on things on proper moderation
on which you arent really that risking something.
1145  Economy / Gambling / Re: what are the best crypto casinos! on: November 06, 2023, 12:59:36 PM

All of us have different perspective in life so we can not say that we are all the same feelings in one casino, here's a thing which you want to play in that casino cause you feel good and you already withdraw your winning amount. but not all the gamblers want that casino too.
In reality, there are many trusted casinos out there so we can choose where we can play all we need to do is to read the feedback of the players who already tried that casino.
I agree with you on that,  because as an individual we do have our personal preferences on things and that is what many of us must understand,  this is why we choose one over the other even though we may even have better services on the one we neglect compared to our own choice, so this is the main reason why we see that gamblers prefered one particular casino to the other.

The services that most gamblers are on the lookout for most is an effective game system and transaction speed and fewer verifications if possible zero KYC demands.
We do really have our own preference on which choices will really be that different to each other and this is why we do see that each people would really be recommending and would really be pointing out into those sites on which they do really like to hang out. This is why there would really be no precise poll to this one because each of us does have that different interest when it comes to choices.
Thinking or to know that there are tons of sites or platforms we do have with different designs and overall but they dont differ much when it comes to games offered. So its just the same i should say.
1146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: November 06, 2023, 12:23:27 PM
~snip~
Curiosity is one of the common features among children especially the very smart ones because they will always want to engage in what they do not have full knowledge of  just because they want to learn new things but it is the work of adults around them to help guide them on what to know and what not to know.
Playing gambling in front of kids is absolutely bad as it'll increase the chances of seeing them engage in it even when they do not know the negative effects of gambling. So as adults, it is advisable that we regulate the kind of things we engage ourselves in other to for kids around us not to go astray as a result of things we expose them to.
Children today are very intelligent compared to children a few years ago. They understand things more quickly than they have only seen for the first time and can get used to learning new things. Indeed, they still need guidance from adults so they can better understand what they are doing. And if they see adults gambling in front of them, they will become curious and want to find out more about the gambling game. And if they are not accompanied or get guidance from adults, they can find out on their own, and maybe they will also start trying to gamble with their friends. This interaction with their friends can trigger their curiosity to become even greater, along with the number of gambling games they know about. And if there is still no attention from adults, they can get deeper into gambling, and once they grow up, they can become gambling addicts.
In todays era on which computer and other technology is really that rampant or something that it is really that mainly part of lives today then it isnt really that shocking that people who had been born today on past years are already that smart when it comes to things around specially on whatever transactions or communication or streams or whatsoever. This is why no matter how hard you do
or try your best on trying out to avoid to those gambling things in your kids, sooner or later they would really be encountering those things normally or naturally on which it would really be rather wise
that you should really be making or letting them know and realize on what are the cons of it so that on the time that they would be able to encounter it then they do at least have the idea
on what they should gonna do or simply they would really be avoiding it out.
1147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: November 06, 2023, 11:59:10 AM
That's true, when you're so addicted to gambling, you'll do everything you can to gamble, so it's very difficult when you're in this situation. But that doesn't mean he can't be treated, it's up to the person if he really wants to change he can do it. Yes, it's easy to say, but if you're dedicated, nothing is impossible. You just have to believe in yourself that you can do it.
Yeah you are correct, one of the things about gambling addict is that they tend to be very upsess with gambling as such that they will be willing to use all they have including there properties to gamble, that's why is always advice able to have control on everything we do so that when you feel you are pushing too much you can easily advised yourself.

Because gambling addiction has greatly affected not just the gamler but also there relationship and families, however I witnessed it myself how many years of relationship break up because of the gambling.

Why do they tend to always get upset? it's because they have the wrong expectations, gambling addicts have a strange mindset and are different from healthy people usually, they are late in taking precautions so that they can enter the very scary gambling phase. On the other hand, it is indeed this phase that is very worried and which is a strong reason why many people give them advice not to get too involved in gambling, none other than because the impact of gambling is very significant which can have a very bad impact on human life, especially there will be a lot of financial problems that they experience in such conditions.

And also on the other hand it is very difficult to be able to realize people who have entered into addiction like this, they have their own assumptions and reasons which on the other hand do not make sense at all. So honestly this kind of condition is quite confusing to deal with, I think for those who are already addicted they will only stop when they experience a very significant downturn as a result of their gambling, whether it's experiencing a lot of problems, getting into debt or even their family falling apart due to economic problems. And also a little advice for those who are new to gambling, I hope you don't overdo it, this is just a fun activity, there are no guarantees and it only goes according to luck, so think about it.
We humans does have that so called senses, awareness, mindset or whatever that it is really that correlated in between. It is really just that there are people who are really that neglecting out on what are  the things that really need to be done but instead they do really make out that tolerance on something which they do know which is right and doesnt really care about on the negative effects
as long they could really be able to deal with on the current things that they've been doing. Gambling addiction is really a one tough problem on someone and on the time that you do get hooked into it,
then there's no way that you could really be able to get out so easily, although there are some individuals who do really be able to recover or quit up in a short span of time yet
proper discipline and moderation would really be the key.It wont be that easy but its not something which is impossible, its a matter of control and willingness on how you would really be
able to quit on.
1148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 06, 2023, 10:17:31 AM

Do you change already your destiny by doing it? I’d rather bet on a lotto rather than copy someone bet because it will give me much better profit potential in case my extreme luck hit me.

I really don’t want to copy someone suicide bet because that is their own entertainment pick which doesn’t give me the same excitement since I’m not the one who pick it. I understand what you are trying to achieve since I’m lazy sometimes but I’m not a big believer of this kind high multiplier bets.

It depends on what op is betting for. Betting has the primary purpose of winning and profiting to multiply your staked money and I think that would be the focus of multiple bets, if op was betting specifically for entertainment then he would only bet few games and watch them for his entertainment.

So what are you betting for? Do you bet to be entertained alone or you bet to get some profit along side. If you are betting for profit which I believe majority of gamblers and addict do then entertainment is out of it including watching the games becomes in consequential.

There's some weight in terms of making your own decision, copying someone's bet might bring good luck if the timing is right but there's no
guarantee as you are inside gambling and there's no one who can assure you that by copying the picks will let you win with them.

Though, like what you mentioned, if betting is purely for fun maybe copying is an option depending to how a gambler thinks about the selection of bets.

But in terms of making money, where we know that it needed a good analysis with the types of games to bet with.
Everything doesnt really have that guarantee on which there's no assurance  that you would really be able get lucky the same on the person on which you are following.
Also it does really remove out the real essence of enjoyment or entertainment when playing gambling or making out some betting. Now that you are considering on trying out to follow someone
which it do really shows that kind of desperate on your part on which you are really that planning to have those kind of winnings even into what extent without even trying out
to realize that following someone wont really be giving out guarantees that you could really be able to make or have on the same results.

Luck is totally random and there's no way on telling or knowing far it ahead on which means that everything in result would really be coming after whether you are
lucky or not on the said bet. We should be not reliant into them and should really be make out betting just for fun.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the best advice or should I just let him on: November 06, 2023, 08:40:08 AM
Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.
I would prefer not to interfere in his business, namely regarding his gambling activities, unless he is the one asking for advice or has a very close relationship so that the approach and advice given can be well received because usually advice from people who are not close can actually damage the relationship because they don't have closeness. so you understand that advice has a good purpose.

However, if you still want to give advice then start by having a good relationship and opening up a conversation about the gambling he is doing until finally you will have the opportunity to tell him the importance of continuing to gamble carefully so he doesn't get caught up in addiction, but because he is a pensionary, gambling is his activity which can provide pleasure because he has very few other activities
Even myself wont really be that confident on telling someone on what they should gonna do, its their money then its their full rights on what they should gonna do with it. Just like on what i have
said earlier is that we should really that minding on our own business and wont really be touching up others. Yes, we do have that kind of in concern towards others but we should really know about the boundaries or limitation because there are things which are supposed to be left alone and wont really be that ideal that you should really make some involvement.
If he decided to spend up his money on gambling then let him be, you arent the ones who would really be wrecked up on the end but it seems that he could be able to sustain his gambling leisure
then its really just that right that he does have that capacity on doing so and since he's senior and he do have that monthly allotment then it is really just that fine.
1150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: November 06, 2023, 08:13:10 AM


      -   I agree with what you said that in gambling it is not discussed whether you are an expert or not. As long as you are lucky in gambling, you will definitely get the jackpot prize that they have in their gimmicks.

Even in the tricks or techniques that are called, there is nothing like that to win often in gambling. The only important thing is that we know how to feel what's happening while we are gambling. It's so simple that other communities here have often said that if you always lose, you should go to bed first, then go back when you feel good. Maybe your luck will return.

Basically, gambling is a trick that attracts people's attention to carry out gambling activities by being willing to spend the money they have in order to make a profit there, so that people will easily be tempted by all kinds of tricks put out by bookies, and can become people who cannot control themselves. well, you will be easily hypnotized by this trick.
Of course, feeling the impact of the gambling we do will prevent us from gambling excessively and will of course make us aware of the experiences that have occurred in gambling, especially if we often experience defeat, as time goes by we will realize this. We must reduce gambling activities so that it does not become too heavy a burden in our lives.
Experience do really pertains learning but we know that not all would really be able to assess well whether the things that they have done or decide whether its wrong or right.
You would really be just making yourself that ignoring if ever you had already make yourself that hooked up well in gambling, you wont care about the risks anymore until it would really be making
that huge damage into you. Staying responsible might sounds easy or something that we can say that each of us could really be able to do so but on the time that you are on such situation
then getting out or simply stopping would already be that a big issue or shall we say that everyone do really miss out on doing the right thing.

This is why be sensible on whatever actions you are taking and its impossible that we couldnt be able to differentiate on whats good or whats bad on just simply
basing up on the things that you are currently experiencing. Gambling is for fun but on the time that you do make yourself addicted then it would already be an another story.
1151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have your own casino. on: November 06, 2023, 07:59:16 AM
How many of you have dreamed about having your casino? Be the house and play the always-win game.

In the past years it was different, people who could build a provably fair engine were able to have their own casino, but now we are playing with new rules, the casinos must have a license and games providers, and that's what people are looking for, and i don't say is something bad, the gambling experience on stake compared with the gambling experience on satoshi bones is enormous.

But getting back into the topic, i would like to read some nice histories from the community, those who only dream about their own casino, and those who make their dreams come true.

What do you mean by "having your own casino"?
Having you own casino to grow it as a business and make profits or having your own casino just for the sake of playing gambling games without losing money?
Building and growing your own gambling business is a completely different subject, because it requires startup capital(which includes a big advertising budget).
Having your own casino just for the sake of playing without losing money is pointless, because there are free poker, dice, slot, roulette games, which can be played without betting money and there's no need for you to deal with setting up hosting, domain, games, a gambling license, etc.
Talking literally on having your own casino, yes everyone do really wishes on having one but we do know that this isnt something a cheap thing that  you could really be able to have.
Building up one is never been cheap or easy, yes its good for long term specially if it do successfully be able to get that trust and recognition then it would be a multi-million kind of business
and this is something that we do really want or something that we do wish for. The only issue on here is that would really be able to do or create one if you do have the capital?
Pretty much sure that it isnt something that so simple that you could really be able to do such thing even if its easy as it sounds.
1152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: November 06, 2023, 07:40:07 AM
It's no longer surprising if I see people in the work environment also gambling, I mean they often gamble on slots during break time with their friends, I also asked one of these people: why don't you just sleep during break time? This short work actually makes you have fun gambling on slots with your friends?? and the answer is very unique for me, namely: because I look for entertainment by gambling, it can be a cure for boredom when I work every day, apart from being entertainment, sometimes I also get extra money here on condition that I only use a little money or see if there is still money left. to gamble, if there isn't any then I won't force you to gamble.

Then with the opinions of these gamblers, I started to think that in gambling not everything will be bad for us, sometimes we will also feel happy if we win, and apart from that I also think that when you are going to gamble you have to be able to set limits on the money you will spend, don't force it. if conditions do not allow it.

Yeah, basically what I hear is that gambling gives people the hope to escape their current lives.

The fantasy or hope that maybe, just maybe, they will hit the jackpot makes them play over and over again, even though they know they could be using their time and money for something else.

It's understandable really.

Maybe what you mean is to escape from life in a better direction so that they are very confident in placing their hopes of winning at gambling.

Yes, with the belief that they are lucky enough to win, they will continue to gamble without thinking about the impact of gambling and there is no good control within themselves so they really believe that gambling will make them rich even though what they want doesn't necessarily happen, that's why this could actually make their lives worse if they are greedy in their pursuit of uncertain victory.

And gamblers must understand that they should not have excessive hopes in gambling because it will cause big problems in their lives later.
On the time that you are really that already pursuing something specially on gambling then this is where problem do begins on which you would already be doing things which arent supposed to do.
You would really be just getting yourself that be able to realize things when its over or damaged had already been done. Yes, experience is learning but its not something that necessary for you to commit or experience it out for yourself just to make you believe that it is real. You could really that learn on others experience too on which you would really be just simply seeing their
experiences and its impossible that you couldnt really make out some insight in regarding the situation.

There are really just those people who arent really that too mindful about their actions and would really be only mattering on the things that they are currently dealing with.
Going back on the topic if we should really gamble at work? You are really that putting yourself on such gamble or risks because there's no one would really be
liking their employee in doing such stuff.

1153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: November 06, 2023, 03:24:17 AM
~snip~
Therefore, if we have found another way to overcome gambling addiction, we must also be able to manage it well so that we do not become addicted to other things. We also have to remember that everything in excess is not always good for our bodies or our lives. The important thing is that we can balance everything so that our lives can run well and in balance. We don't need to do things that we feel are difficult to do because we also need to adapt to our abilities to do them, but it is useful for us in overcoming the gambling addiction that we experience. However, when we can start reducing our gambling activities, it is a good sign because our minds are no longer dominated by gambling so we can do other things easily.

And by balancing everything, we can be comfortable in living each day while we are still trying to get rid of the gambling addiction that may still be within us. And with good activity management, we can slowly cure our gambling addiction and we can definitely live a normal life like other people.

I think that's one of the best ways to get rid of a bad addiction, switch it with a good addiction.

For example, get that "high" from going out for a run, or creating something. That's a much better use of your limited time on earth than gambling.

At the end, it will probably require much more time to have a negative consequence from those positive addictions than gambling.
There would really be no negative if you are really just that responsible towards your actions and that intent of yours when it comes to gambling. You wouldnt really be finding yourself
for any problems neither positive or negative if you do really have just simply having that moderation when it comes to your gambling spending. You wont really be making yourself
a problem and this is something that must be done by everyone on the time that they would really stepping into the world of gambling.
The key on here is that you shouldnt really be that making yourself that get addicted or else you would really be ending up on a disaster or something that you
didnt expect that it would really happen into you.

And because of that, we have to say that in some bets, all that you need to do is to rely on luck to win them, because even with your knowledge you can still end up selecting the team that will lose the match, some time in football games, what differentiates the winner from the loser is luck, because, in terms of skills, a listing team can still be the most skilled team with best players.
Football match most time depends on luck to pick the right team to win, and so for that, we have to acknowledge the place of luck in all that we do at some point in time.
Usually bookies definitely prefer to bet on teams that have small odds, where there is a high probability thats the team will wins or draw, but that doesn't rule out the possibility because sometimes teams that have big odds can also sometimes win because in soccer betting there are always surprises, we can not completely trust football betting because sometimes we don't know what game the casino owners are playing behind so they arrange the game so that they don't suffer a lot of losses, sport betting must require accurated analysis to be able to get closer to luck.
Not really just that only limited on soccer/football but also in other games as well on which there's always a possibility when we do talk about upsets on which those least favorites do able to beat up a powerhouse. This is why making up some bets or sticking with those heavily favorite most of the time wont really be giving out guarantees that you would really be able to make profits or sure win.
When making some sports betting then the best thing to have is that  you should really know on what sport you are betting into. Betting into something which you dont have idea is never been entertaining and this is why it would really be that always better that you should really be that knowledgeable for you to be able at least enjoy on what you are doing.
Gambling or betting is really just that for fun and if you are really that making yourself that do desperate then its an another story.

I saw people wagering a lot of money, but this guy took it to some higher levels... How can we compete in some wagering wars and competitions against players who wager so much? Do we even have a chance? Smiley
The key on here is just that dont tend to chase up those billionaires or millionaires who do gamble out like crazy. Of course they do have that financial capacity on which means that they could normally be able to wager up millions or even billions basing up on the link given.

If you dont like on being that having that emotion which you do get jealous then its better to ignore it out

Yes, that's right, we don't need to think about someone who gambles with large amounts of money, because we have different portions, they can afford to bet large amounts, which is different from us using gambling with reasonable limits.
this is indeed a bit surprising but we can't compete with it, I personally think more about the risks that will occur and not spend too much money on gambling. I am quite aware that making money is quite difficult at the moment, maybe because of inflation in my country so I choose to bet in large amounts money that I can afford to lose so I'm not too crazy about using casino games.
Yes, actually comparing with those who have a lot of money and are ready to take the risks they do is useless with those of us who only bet enough. And not on our level and nothing for us to think about or obsess over, and it just proves that people like that in the world of gambling do exist.
And in my opinion, gambling is not a way to make money, but rather a place to have fun, spend money and hope for luck, and a place to make money just by working or having a side job to get extra income. And don't depend on kasuno or gambling where the income is uncertain, you might lose everything.
When you do have the money, then  you do have the ff;

1. Confidence
2. Power
3. Connection
4. Doesnt really care on other things

In gambling then you would really be that normally be that not caring that much about on how much you have spent.
You would really be just minding on things on the time that you are already that struggling or having some financial issues but on the
time that you do know deep inside that you do have tons,then you would care less.

Lets just accept that there are indeed people who are really that rich ones and there are poor/average ones.
People do really love on trying out to imagine or mimic out others on how they do spend until they would
realize that it is really that pointless on doing so.

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

To be honest in the past I have spent a lot of money gambling. What I mean here is that I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe the nominal amount is not that big but it makes me feel like a gambling addict. I spent 5 months of my savings on gambling. Currently I am aware and am in the stage of improving my own financial condition. Have you ever felt like a gambling addict? and how much did you lose in gambling?
Not really that a gambling addict but there comes into a point that i've been wasting too much money in the sense that it is really that more than on the amount that im earning or simply it doesnt
able to compensate in regarding income and spending in gambling. Good thing that i did able to make up some breaks and totally realize on the things ive been doing. On the time that there's no
money that you could be able to pull through into your pocket then it would really be that so impossible that you wont really be that able to notice on whats wrong and whats right.
I can say that there are really indeed moments or situations that you are already spending up tons or more than on what you can afford to lose, it is really just that impossible
for you not to be wary on the things thats happening around on which means that you would really be needing to make adjustments if needed.
1157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: November 05, 2023, 11:32:23 PM
Almost everyone has kids living with them at home and we can easily compare to other homes around us, there are families that don't believe in the act of gambling, they don't see it as a sin, because many people believe that those who don't like gambling are religious people, I am telling you know that there are some families that don't even move closer to gambling, it's like they all knew what's waiting for them if they start to gamble, to them it's the fools game.

Influence is what makes many to start gambling, some people start gambling because of the friends they join, I have a brother who was an addict and it was revealed to us that all his classmates in school are all into gambling, someone who comes from a home where gambling isn't believed to solve anything but created even more problems.

I think it's the same thing with children around the world, TVs could have been a big part but there is no casino and gambling advertisement on the TVs, it's either their surroundings are full of gamblers or the friends they keep have elders that are into gambling, it's all about the influence.

The kids are living with the gambler parents home,So no one need to teach them about the gambling.The are sleeping with you,So they can easy learn of gambling not even teaching one step to them.So the gambler parent itself enough for the strong influence for the kids for the gambling.If the gambling was against the gambling,It was more dangerous one compared to the kid which kid very close to the gambling.Since the gambling was stay as the legal to them.They get more curiosity to try the gambling for once.
This is where parenting matters but there are really things which cant really be that avoided for your children to be able to learnt up something on which it would really be just that normal that it would really be something like this. If you are a parent whose really that doing gambling and then you've been watched by your children them most likely these children would really be ending up on
on doing gambling just because they are really that able to see it into their parents on which we know that it does really have that huge influence on them or simply they are really that
able to discover for themselves.

This is why it would really be that important that proper guidance about gambling yet we know on how risky it is and how dangerous it would be if you
are really that talking about the possible problems that it could make. So letting them know and realize on what are the dangers would really be that good.
1158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nigerians spend $975m daily on online betting on: November 05, 2023, 10:59:18 PM
Data from the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) has revealed that over 65 million Nigerians actively engage in betting, spending an average of $15 daily. This is just as it disclosed that everyday, 14 million bet takes and payments are made online in the country. continue reading here....

Recalled that Nigeria population is estimated to be around 200+million and from the information above, over 65 million people are engaged in gambling on a daily basis amounting to over 32% of the country population. With the recent economic crisis and hardship affecting almost all the nations, if large number of people are spending this much on betting, can we say that they relied on gambling to survive?

But, I think we need to know how much betting sites are paying out daily too, so we can make comparison.  Grin

In this country, strange things really do happen. Some people will always say that it's just 100 naira, and if they calculate the money they waste on gambling, it might get them something better in life. Still, most people really see gambling as their hustle way of making money in life. They will still have other hardworking to be doing that can pay them, so they can come and use 100 naira and win 1 million.  Grin Many people depend more on gambling than anything else in life because they believe that they most win big money one day, their life continue spoiling. Not everyone who gamble depend on it; some people only gamble for short-term funs, and I don't think they will continue with it long. For some, it truly is their hustle. You will just hear, hustle is hustle and their money always waste. We usually complain that there's no money in the country's and see the large numbers of people who gamble every day.
Just let them be on what are the things that they do really like to do, even if they would be spending some part of their salary then so be it, its impossible that they weren't aware about the potential risks of too much spending with gambling. Considering that Nigeria to be a 3rd world then you would really be asking some questions on how the heck did generate out much gambling revenue?
If they are really that having that kind spending then it is really showing that majority if its citizens are really into gambling on which despite of the earning capability or simply on how to get some income or having non big paying kind of job but still they are really that eager on playing gambling.

Well it isnt bad as long you are really that making yourself in moderation and wont really be that so impulsive or getting yourself that addicted because if you do then you would really be having that huge problem on this case. Imagine on how big they are really that spending on daily basis on online betting which excluded crypto gambling too.
So numbers wont really be that precise.
1159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 05, 2023, 10:36:24 PM
Whenever I am low on cash on the casino I play which includes a sport book I like to copy other people bets,usually parlays with odds over 1000 and I think to myself who cares if I play for example 50 bets copying other people with 200 IDR as my base bet,if any of these guys hits it big I will do to.Notice that I put 1000 as a minimum here but the reality is that I have been copying bets with over 700.000 as odds,I damn love these huge multipliers yet no one has got such one in sport betting.

Of course in here it is not about skill or luck games anymore but it is about destiny,so tell me how many of you are deceived by dreams that may change your destiny like I am  Grin?
Wont really be that bad if you do have that kind of thinking yet as long you are making use of the amounts which you are really that afford to lose then it should be fine.
Having those kind of parlays which involves tons of games then it would really be that totally frustrating if that 49 games won and then the last 1 had lost.
Then you would really be punching up the wall because of such disappointment.  Grin
1160  Economy / Gambling / Re: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers on: November 05, 2023, 10:18:23 PM
This is very interesting. I have seen lots of threads here talking about gambling addiction and how to stop it but for the first time I am seeing a website fully dedicated to the course of stopping gambling addiction. Gambling addiction has eaten deep into gamblers that they can not control themselves anymore. It is obvious that some addicted gamblers do undergo therapy before they could be able to break out of gambling addiction and some too even after undergoing therapy, they still see themselves addicted but however OP have fully shown how dedicated he or is to Stop gambling addiction by coming up so this project. I believe addicted gamblers would see this and make use of the opportunity to aid themselves in following the steps provided on the website to ease to ease their gambling addiction.

hence, this site may come in handy for those gamblers here who want to address their addiction for free or those gamblers who are on the verge of addiction. better take care of it early rather than when you are already too deep in your troubles.
as the thread says, free help, so hopefully it will attract gamblers here that are asking for this kind of support. as you said, there are so many threads here already discussing about addiction. so yeah, time to have that kind of free service for these people.
Yes, its free and its not something that you arent that forced to make use of it but this kind of step or move made by OP is really that something that deserved merit and commendation.
Its totally unlikely or really that not common on seeing free service nowadays on which if there's someone bothered up and making something for the benefit of these gambling addicts then
it is really just that good to know that there are ones who do give that kind of importance on how to resolve out such problem. Most of people on this thread do really tells
about on for it not to work on which there's a point but its not bad to make out these kind of steps either.
