You cant put your own job at risks just because you are really that really wanting badly to gamble on which i dont see the point or having that kind of choice. Gambling while at work is never been that recommended or something that you would really be needing to have control. This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be allocating such time for gambling which it would really be just that good on your vacant time or simply you are really that in your own home. This is which the best approach that you could have if you do really like to gamble.
Dont make yourself having that kind of confidence that you could play up everytime because when you do have that kind of approach then you are really that putting up yourself at risks.

Yes, you are right, even though our work is not too busy, that is no reason why we can gamble during work hours. Maybe it's not done regularly, but still, this kind of behavior can give rise to negative thoughts from colleagues who see their gambling activities. or it could even have a bad impact on his career. it's better to anticipate now by not doing it. on holidays or after work. The important thing is that it's not working time and it's safe enough.
Nobody forbids us from gambling, but we also have to know the ethics of gambling. it's all for the common good.

This is more about responsibility, we are given the responsibility by the company to prioritize our work when we have entered the specified hours and that means it is absolutely not allowed for anyone to do anything else when you are in the "time" of work and no matter how relaxed your work is because you receive a salary at the end of each month as a reward for what you have done there. However, this action is absolutely forbidden because it will harm all parties, not only you but also the company where you work because something you are working on may not have maximum results because you divide your time for other things such as gambling in the middle of your work time.

On the other hand, the disadvantage that you are very likely to get is that in my opinion there is a high probability that you will receive punishment from your boss for doing other things during working hours, especially if it is gambling which is always a negative activity in the eyes of the public, and it cannot be denied that in the end you can lose your job just because of your foolishness that cannot manage your time. Therefore, the best option is not to gamble when you are doing other activities, especially if it is your job that basically pays your living expenses.

   If we don't really manage our emotions correctly, we will surely wreck our gambling bet, and the growth of our money will end up in nothing when we play at the casino here in crypto gambling. Although we have a lesson to learn from this matter, we still lose the lesson learned.

  How can we avoid this? As some of the communities say here, I also agree that in order to do this, it takes self-discipline and self-control, and above all, let us not be greedy while we play gambling.
To be sincere you can never manage emotion when it comes to gambling and there's no way you'll be an experienced gambler and won't gamble with emotions as far as we're human we'll always gamble with emotion.
Emotion is control that's beyond our control cause it's part of us being human and trying to control the emotion is here we gamblers mostly fail because we never work on something that will keep us in check when emotions take over.

This is a trait and traits that exist in humans can basically be controlled, not everything you find will / can make you emotional and this all depends on how you really are, especially in terms of personality which will certainly affect the management of traits that exist in you such as emotions. I understand that controlling yourself is not easy and even always a very difficult thing to control for most gamblers, but most responsible gamblers can always control their emotions, and from this we can conclude that someone who cannot control their emotions in gambling activities is because they have something that is not recommended in gambling such as expecting victory and putting excessive confidence in the chances of winning, this is what makes you or anyone too difficult to control your emotions when experiencing defeat which in the end it is clear that these emotions will encourage someone to act out of control and eventually addiction. Therefore, if we examine again, there will always be something that is the root of the problem and in this case, the solution can be to justify their point of view and mindset towards gambling.
1163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 31, 2024, 08:16:36 PM
We have to learn from other people's experience, gambling is not what we should take with levity hand, we shouldn't get too enticed that we go ahead in taking loan all because of gambling, we are taking the biggest risk of our life and this will lead nothing than shame on us, people are taking loan to make business and not to gamble, even when we think the game we are betting on is very sure, we shouldn't go ahea in taking loan for it because it's risky to do, we cannot predict gambling and most time we often loose than winning when gambling.

Taking out a loan just to gamble is like you are digging a hole to bury yourself, this action will only create many new problems for yourself, because one of the reasons is that gambling always does not give anyone any certainty about the final result, therefore it is really a careless or even stupid idea if you borrow just to gamble. It is not uncommon for us to find bad effects experienced by addicted gamblers where they always use loans as an alternative to fund their gambling activities which in the end as I said above that it will only create new problems in the end such as getting into debt.

I understand that basically the existence of loan services will indeed be very helpful for people who really need money in an urgent situation, and the purpose of the loan is nothing more than to facilitate people in solving their problems or provide capital to build a business as you said. But on the other hand, many people are misguided, they utilize and abuse this for something that is really not recommended and this will clearly endanger themselves which in the end will make them get into debt as I said above.
1164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe visiting a seer or spiritual house could make you win a game? on: January 31, 2024, 07:54:22 PM
Honestly for myself I never believe in such things especially to fortune tellers because after all it is a fact that gambling is always about the game of probability which means that all the final results that are there depend on how lucky you are when running the session, but maybe there are some people who seem to be very insistent on winning as told by the OP where they go to fortune tellers with the intention of looking for references to get the results of gambling that match what they want (victory).

On the other hand for me gambling is just a place to fill spare time when I am bored at certain times and my main priority is nothing more than fun, none other than because there is a strong reason behind the approach I take to gambling, which is that anyone can never predict the final result of the session they are doing. But yes it is a choice and everyone has the right to choose what they want to do, but however I would advise anyone to change their perspective on gambling because there are possible risks that you never expected.
1165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 31, 2024, 07:04:20 PM
That's right, we have to be wise in taking risks that we might get and indirectly we are ready and accept it when the risk actually befalls us and when we know that the risk is clearly very detrimental to us personally then the steps that must be taken are immediately taken what we do is avoid it.
Of course the trust factor is also very influential here, if we have trusted someone or a gambling expert then I don't think we will be able to find trust in ourselves because we are in that person's shadow and in my opinion this looks very strange, because of trust. Self-confidence appears within a person with a sense of self-confidence that a person can choose and determine their own decisions. If I clearly follow my own predictions.
We can prevent the risk of losing money from becoming greater because we are in control of our gambling, so we can limit the amount of money we spend gambling on. We cannot use a lot of money to gamble if we have a lot of expenses or daily needs that must be met, so when placing bets, we must not be careless and follow our desires. We also don't need to trust someone who claims to be an expert in gambling because we also don't know whether he is really an expert or someone who just wants to take advantage of us. It's better to follow our predictions based on what we learn so we don't rely too much on them. We can also improve our analytical skills to become even better.

That's a vital point, people can walk up to us claiming to be expert gamblers, because they may have won some significant amount in the past. Anybody can win big in gambling. Gamblers who crown themselves experts on that basis of winning, are not in any way to be considered one. Paying them for help is another means of wasting money, coupled with the losses available in the gambler's end. Hence, I'd say that gamblers who have in mind to enjoy the game should not bother about laying interest on the prediction of some other folks who think that they're good or pro gamblers. Whatever will be the outcome of a game is what it's going to become. The goal of gambling for few is to have fun and enjoy their gambling journey. Nothing much nothing less. Any other expectations such as money is not guaranteed by any means, whatsoever, be it from an expert or not.

The point is that experts must be acknowledged and not recognized, maybe you understand what I'm saying, I mean there must be something like an achievement that can make people openly admit that they are great so that in the end they are crowned as experts and clearly they are not experts if they basically admit themselves without any recognition from others. Furthermore, I think it makes absolutely no sense if in gambling there is someone who is named an expert because after all gambling is always synonymous with something that cannot be predicted about the results, most gamblers have proven how difficult it is to get a win because such results will only be able to get when they are really lucky, and that means whether an expert can know when luck will come? no, luck will never know when it comes and when it goes. Therefore, it makes no sense for you or anyone to believe someone who says he is an expert unless he provides reasonable evidence such as some lucky winning transactions that he got.

Of course, however, gambling is only recommended as a fun activity and should not be taken seriously as the level of risk involved can take away all the money you have which can certainly ruin a person's life, this is why it is always recommended to be a responsible gambler by coming with many restrictions and no expectations.
1166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You will do in this situation? on: January 31, 2024, 06:21:40 PM
I think this is completely personal matter. I also agree that sports betting is lot better than average slots game because you follow games, you watch matches, you recognize players, so you can much easily win money through it. Regular football watcher as example, would definitely be maximizing profit through sports betting. But some people just love casino games. Slots, dice whatever. Some people enjoy them more. That's their choice so hard to convince them to try sports betting instead.

It is true that sports betting is much better than other types of betting, especially like slots because there gamblers can do something that can increase their chances of winning by applying skills and using knowledge to analyze a team, I don't know why most gamblers prefer to get involved in types of games like slots or dice but certainly I think it is not uncommon or even many of them do not know at all about sports betting maybe so that this can be used as a reason why they prefer to get involved in other types of bets or maybe they are more interested in short games that don't take long to find out the results, But unfortunately most of the gamblers do not know about the difficulty of getting a win on bets like slot machines or others because there they only depend on luck, nothing more than that, but yes in the end it is clear as you say that we have our own choices and interests.
1167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: January 31, 2024, 06:01:51 PM
A similar type of thing has been discussed here many times. It is never advised to take a loan to gamble or think to recover your lose by gambling. We do not control our luck. Mostly gambling depends on luck and unfortunately, the player has less chance to win. Winning is never guaranteed. So, if you invest your last money in gambling with the hope that you will win some money so you can pay off your debts with the money you would win by gambling, you should understand that winning is never guaranteed. If you lose it again, you won't be able to pay your debt. You could have paid off your debt withe the money you have just gambled. So, it's better not to gamble with your last investment.

Of course taking out a loan to fund gambling activities is really not advisable and I would probably say that it is a very silly decision for anyone to try to take out a loan just to gamble because after all gambling is just a probability activity that should not be overdone because there is the possibility of much greater risks that of course will always lurk all gamblers involved. Yes it's true and I recognize that gambling always depends on how lucky you are at the time of the session, simply put if you win it means you're lucky and if you lose it means the opposite.

With the basic fact about gambling that has absolutely no certainty whatsoever, this alone can be used as a reason for a decision that gambling should not be taken seriously especially if you force victory because in fact the opposite happens, namely you will suffer a large number of defeats that know no time limit especially if you come with the intention of finding victory to pay off debts then obviously it will only create new problems, in the sense that you will not be able to pay off debts but the problem is even more increasing in terms of losing money that should not have happened, therefore we must be truly rational in looking at gambling.
1168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You can not win if you do not risk on: January 31, 2024, 05:15:39 PM
We need to take risks to win something, not only in gambling but in every aspect of our lives and the higher the risk ratio the higher the gain if the result is achieved successfully. To give an example specific to gambling, let's imagine that a popular football team competes with a lower league team in any event or cup match. In this case, since the winning rate of the popular and strong football team will be quite high, the winning rate of someone who bets with this option will also be low but the probability of winning for someone who bets by choosing the lower league team will be higher because the risk will be higher. In the shortest way possible, I can give an example of "the more bread, the more meatballs".
Yes, it is true that if we want to win something, we have to take risks to get it. We also need to realize that the higher the risk, the more likely we can win something, but that does not guarantee that we can get it because, in gambling, there is no certainty after playing gambling. In the example you gave, the popular soccer team will only sometimes be able to win if the underdog soccer team has something that can turn the direction of the match so that they can win the match. This has often happened to many teams, so we must understand that a match will have a surprise factor. If we want to avoid higher risks in gambling, we don't need to place bets with a lot of money and only use enough money so that if we lose, we won't lose quite a lot.

Gambling is always about taking risks, all gamblers involved must take risks but the most important thing is how we can minimize these risks, everything must have a way and maybe if this is related to gambling then obviously there is nothing else to minimize the possibility of risk that is only by applying limits along with good self-control because gambling is always about the chances of winning and the possibility of risk. And on the other hand you have already said that even if we increase the risk it can in no way guarantee that in the end we can win, of course however in gambling it is always unknown how the final result will be.

In sports betting I understand that your knowledge will be very helpful to get closer to the possibility of winning, but I don't think it's always that simple, we can see with what is happening in some of the leagues that are currently running such as the Bundesliga or the Premier League, some of the top teams are losing their consistency so it is not uncommon to find some of the big teams losing when faced with medium or even bottom teams, so the fact is that all gambling is always about risk, it cannot be known for sure and that is always a strong reason for gamblers to apply good risk management as in the case of the budget you suggest.
1169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: January 31, 2024, 04:15:29 PM

A lot of people have been clamoring about how gambling has ruined their life but same gambling has set some people up for life, just like every other form of investment there must always be a profit or a loss.  And life is so balanced that what works for Mr A might not be the same that works for Mr B. Likewise in gambling,  while some are crying about their loss they are some who are smiling and celebrating their win.
 Gambling has been seen as a very dangerous thing base on some people's point of view here in the forum whereas in reality it has given some people the capital to start what ever business they want to do. My point in this post is that we shouldn’t just paint gambling all black because some people have fail to stick to the discipline of gambling.
 I believe that before one make a decision in life, they should've already weighed the consequences of making the right or wrong choice, then put their fate on luck coupled with their little knowledge concerning what they're about to decide on, so why complain and play the blame game when things go wrong? "Share your thought on how gambling has come through for you if you got any".

Winning while gambling is just depends on the probability so we never know when we will win and when we will lose, gambling can indeed give money that can change life into a fortune but it doesn't mean one who gambles should aim for that because it is an incident that is totally unpredictable and happen rarely than a loss so just understand the fact if you bet 100 bets in luck based game then you may win 10 bets and loss 90 bets or it can be totally other way that is why we call its game of luck.

Blaming the form you are doing even when you know these facts, then its wrong or you are just ignorant about gambling and still chose to do it which is also wrong.

More precisely, there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever that can guarantee your victory at the end of the session, of course the result at the end of the session is always about two things, namely winning and losing, if you want to win then of course you have to be really lucky but the problem is whoever will never know when they will be lucky because luck always cannot be predicted when it will come and when it will go, and this is the reason why it is highly recommended for anyone not to put hope or even chase victory in gambling because it is too unreasonable unless occasional wins.

On the other hand, yes, you have explained the scenario that if we push too hard to win, it means that there will be a lot of trials and the lack of certainty in gambling will make us experience more losses than wins because it is impossible to get lucky. streak. Therefore, becoming a responsible gambler is more recommended. You can become a responsible gambler if you are basically able to understand the real concept of how gambling works.
1170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Woes of gambling on: January 31, 2024, 03:53:38 PM
I'm not sure the point you are trying to make because of the contradiction at the middle part of your post but I believe gambling is not a guarantee for riches and the house always has better winning chances than the player. You also need to understand that you have to gamble with the money you can afford to lose whether in online casino or offline and that is how you can be satisfied in your games whether lose or profit.
I think most people already know about the general reason why the population of gamblers is increasing and that is because of the winning opportunities provided by casinos and this is what makes gambling look very attractive, most gamblers come to win but are not prepared to lose, This is a typical loser because gambling is always about two possibilities, namely winning or losing and therefore it is always advisable for anyone, especially those who are new to and involved in gambling to have a proper understanding of what gambling really is, the fear is that they carry the assumption that gambling is a "place to earn", this is dangerous because there is no certainty about the final result can endanger themselves.

After all, the bookie casino built the casino/gambling to benefit them because it is a business that stands behind the "odds" that make people feel very attracted to try to make the odds of winning a reality, the house holds all the control because they are the ones who organize everything and as you said that the real profit here is the bookie himself and not the gamblers. As I said above that this is a business that stands behind the "odds", therefore having a good understanding and approach is always recommended for safety such as only putting small amounts as you suggested wherever you play.
The allure of potential winnings indeed makes gambling appealing to many people. The assumption that gambling is a guaranteed quick way to earn money is contradictory to reality, because gambling reflects the unpredictable and often uncontrollable outcomes. The business model of casinos is designed to favor the house, ensuring their profitability in the long run. Encouraging responsible gambling practices, such as limiting the amounts wagered, aligns with a cautious approach to mitigate potential financial risks for participants.

This is the importance of informed decision-making and responsible behavior in the realm of gambling. Gamblers need to acknowledge the business-oriented nature of casinos and the need for gamblers to approach such activities with a clear understanding of the associated uncertainties and risks. The business-oriented nature of casinos is significant. Acknowledging the inherent uncertainties and risks associated with gambling is a key step towards fostering responsible behavior among gamblers.

Most of them can't lie to themselves that it's the "possibility of winning" that makes them come and engage in gambling, I don't care even if they say that they come for fun because most of the time it's just an excuse to hide behind the real facts about what their goals are, and also on the other hand we can see in terms of the impact they have, if after engaging in gambling they experience problems with their finances such as their finances become more difficult then it is clear that it seems like they came to gambling with the wrong goal, I can already confirm that the bad impact in gambling will only happen to those who have a wrong understanding such as gambling to get a win because with a goal like that then obviously they will usually act excessively because there is something they are aiming for which is winning.

You also said and I agree to that that the idea of gambling to make money is so contrary to the actual reality that you will actually suffer a lot of problems if you gamble based on such a goal because after all the overall profit is only for the casino itself. On the other hand yes as I said gambling is a business that will only benefit the casino, and I would ask if there are any gamblers who have managed to make a fortune from their gambling? no, and I would only believe they could become rich people if they basically own the casino itself, I think all these facts are already a strong reason why caution and vigilance are very important to apply to gambling activities.
1171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are every activities/competitions with stake known to be gambling? on: January 31, 2024, 03:33:42 PM
In my opinion, any activity that requires a player to predict the outcome of an event and risk his money is gambling to a greater or lesser extent. If the activity takes place among people who know each other, then money can be excluded from this system, because reputation is used instead of money. Betting on some event among friends, betting on the next president, playing cards with neighbors - all these are gambling.

I definitely think that any activity and prediction of potential possibilities is gambling especially where money is involved. If a prediction is made between two friends without any product or money involved, it wouldn't be right to call it gambling but if a prediction is made between two friends for a product or money, this will be gambling. So, although it is possible to state that a prediction between two people without any reward or money is not gambling, it would be very correct to state that it is gambling if the person who guesses correctly will win something depending on the outcome. In short, if there is a prediction and a reward or money that promises winnings it can be easily said that it is gambling.

It is clear that whatever the name of something that involves money or any item of value and has a value to be bet that will be the object in return as a result of the bet (victory) then clearly it is called gambling, and also if on the other hand the bet does not involve anything that will be used as an object of victory at the end of the session then clearly it is not a gamble because there is no something that is the object of victory and also there is no real possibility of what is called risk, In fact, this context is very simple and on the other hand I hope that everyone, especially those who just want to enter and get involved in gambling, will first understand what gambling really is, especially in terms of possible risks because it is clear that lately the population of gamblers is increasing but most of them are gamblers who have no responsibility for their gambling activities so that this causes a lot of problems, especially in their finances and sometimes even accusations of fraud in some casinos, especially the type of online casino.
1172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: January 31, 2024, 02:58:40 PM

Of course, because it is difficult to produce something maximum if one divides his attention and focus on other things at the same time such as working while gambling, as you said and it is true that this behavior can interfere and reduce one's productivity at work which ultimately makes their work disrupted and neglected, in such a situation I am sure that their main focus is only on gambling because they have previously thought and decided to gamble in the middle of working hours and that means their focus is more likely to be on gambling.

On the other hand there are a lot of negative impacts that they will experience, first it is clear that it is very possible for them to end the session with a loss and if they are one of the irresponsible gamblers then obviously they will not be able to fully accept the fact of defeat which in turn makes themselves experience emotions that can reduce the mood or enthusiasm to continue working, And another impact that I think can be more detrimental is that there is a possibility for them to lose their job if at that time their boss finds out that one of their employees is gambling during working hours, and of course it is very likely that they will eventually be fired for doing other things during working hours and also after all gambling is a negative activity in the perspective of society in general.
You would really be definitely be less efficient if you do this, this is why it would really be that wise that you should really be separating gambling thing and working on which both things shouldnt collide on a similar schedule.Hence, you would really be putting up yourself on such great trouble on the time that you would really be getting caught by your supervisor/manager/owner on the time that you do play gambling.
If you are really just that mainly relying with your job salary pay to live then you are putting your life into trouble and this isnt something worth i should say for someone to do so.
People would really be just having those kind of regrets of their actions on the time that they would suffer those consequences.

There's a right time for everything and this is why you should really be thinking up responsible on what are the things that shouldnt be done on a specific period of time.
There's time for everything and dont risks up something on which that you cant afford to lose specially your job.

The point is yes of course time management is really needed and everyone should have or apply time management in their lives because with this then you will be able to divide your focus on each activity that you are doing, and if you do two activities at the same time then obviously there is a risk that can have an impact on one of the activities that you are doing and for the problem of gambling during working hours as I said earlier that I believe in that decision then obviously their main focus is more directed at something that can attract more attention to them namely gambling.

After all, work is the only way to make ends meet and if you gamble at work then you are risking your life because of the consequences of losing your job just for making a very silly and risky decision. On the other hand, yes of course there are many other times that you can gamble, you can gamble when you are off work, I admit that gambling full time is more fun and relaxing than gambling while doing other things.
1173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: January 31, 2024, 12:11:44 PM
When it comes to gambling, just like trading, there is no need to activate emotions as the game or the chart is inconsiderate towards your emotions but towards facts and certainties.

Emotions will only ensure you incur losses that you can't and won't be compensated for but on the reverse, it enriches the platform as your loss is their win.

Any gambler experiences emotions while gambling. Algorithm involved in the distribution of winnings is not related to your emotions so there is no point in hiding emotions when gambling. Winning in gambling depends on the luck of the gambler and his actions, not emotions. If you think that this is not true - you have a chance to check it yourself.

True, the fact is that most gamblers will always apply emotions especially when they are in a losing streak, it is true that emotions have absolutely nothing to do with victory or the fate of the gambler himself in his gambling involvement, emotions and victory are different and unrelated things. For the issue of winning of course as you said that only luck will be able to bring a person to a happy situation, nothing else and for the issue of emotions this is something that can make a person experience a bigger defeat because of decisions that are not based or considered with common sense so that in the end it makes the number of losses increase.

I think however what we are saying is a fact in the world of gambling about the role of emotions along with their causes, this is why every gambler really needs to apply good self-control when they are involved in betting because emotions will only make them worse.
1174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2 years old kids alone at home for hours, while the father goes gambling on: January 31, 2024, 11:47:20 AM
He is an example of a father who could bear to leave two 2-year-old children alone at home. Moreover, he left them for 5 hours just to gamble. He couldn't imagine what would happen to his children and still prioritized gambling. He must be punished for his actions so that he knows it was his fault and does not do the same thing. Maybe he was addicted to gambling so he was too busy gambling for a long time. Hopefully, there will be no sad stories like that, and even if someone often gambles, he also has to think about his children if he wants to leave his house. He had to make sure her children were safe and that someone was looking after them while he was gone.

Regret always comes at the end and this is a situation where one starts the scenario to feel regret at the end, but fortunately one of the neighbors moved quickly to save the two children from danger. This case confirms that gambling addiction is really bad and can harm everyone around us, on the other hand it is clear that the man should be punished for his behavior and hopefully the punishment will deter him and bring him to his senses, I wouldn't say that this was negligence but maybe I would be more inclined to believe that this act was quite deliberate along with the huge influence of the desire to gamble. However this is an example that we can learn a valuable lesson about the dangers of gambling if you do it in the wrong way or approach that can make you end up with addiction, so don't make ourselves closed to various suggestions that come in that lead to something better, consider whatever comes because they care about you so that in the end you don't enter the addiction phase.

After all, the bookie casino built the casino/gambling to benefit them because it is a business that stands behind the "odds" that make people feel very attracted to try to make the odds of winning a reality, the house holds all the control because they are the ones who organize everything and as you said that the real profit here is the bookie himself and not the gamblers. As I said above that this is a business that stands behind the "odds", therefore having a good understanding and approach is always recommended for safety such as only putting small amounts as you suggested wherever you play.

what you say is very true, it's just that this applies to all games, the bigger the bet, the bigger the profit and vice versa, this is something gamblers generally know that what they don't know is how to reduce capital and increase opportunities, because I know there is no answer to gambling. It's just luck, that's why many people try their luck

Gamblers have freedom of choice and are always advised to choose decisions that are not beyond their means such as when it comes to putting a budget amount, however losing is an outcome that not all gamblers want, or I mean in general losing is something that is not wanted, but the strange thing is that most of the gamblers always want to win big in gambling and that means they are losers who want to win big but do not want to accept the fact of losing. This is why every gambler is always advised to have good responsibility because with this, you will not be too emotional or disappointed when you eventually lose.

In my opinion what is more important in gambling is "minimizing risk" by only putting small amounts along with focusing on limits, this should not be ignored and should be prioritized by gamblers because after all gambling is a high risk activity that can make you lose everything especially money, as you said that gambling is about profit and therefore it is better to apply a lot of limits and assert self-control because logically if you are lucky you will also be able to get a win in one of the sessions you do. However, most gamblers ignore the risk aspect of this activity and instead focus on winning by doing a lot of trials that are basically not easy to get so this action actually makes them end up suffering from the number of losses.

So far you stake your money, it is gambling. In fact, that is what that makes it to be called gambling. Gambling means you are risking your money on betting. Gambling has been existing since the old age when there are no casinos and bookies.

If there is no money involved, it is not gambling. If there is money involved, it is called gambling.

Of course gambling is an activity that involves risk, and it would also not be called gambling if there was basically no money or other valuables at stake to get something bigger like a win or something that could be detrimental like a loss, and it is not gambling if someone does not spend anything at all as capital to bet on a "chance or possibility" because after all gambling is always about winning and losing or adding something (multiplying) or losing something as a result of the risk in the sense of obviously not getting anything at all.

Basically gambling is always about profit and loss, these two things cannot be separated in gambling because one of the two will always be the answer at the end of the session and there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever to be able to get a win, gambling is purely about profit and this is why gambling is absolutely not recommended to be made a place to earn, the basic fact is enough to be a strong reason why one should not put any hope in this activity other than entertainment.

I know some people who gamble while they are at work online; others manage to do well at the same time as their work, but others don't because I just found out that they no longer have a job, and when I asked the reason, they said they were late. He is his superior who plays gambling online during his work hours.

In that regard, I told my friend that he is also guilty and had a reason. I hope that will be a lesson for him because he also said that he should only play online casinos at home. Gambling should be placed in the right place and not be affected by gambling, especially if it helps financially.
I don't think that it is possible for someone to perform well at their job while also gambling. This is because their productivity will inevitably suffer, as their focus and time will be split between work and gambling. Additionally, gambling can have negative effects on one's emotions, which can further impact their ability to concentrate on work tasks.

Of course, because it is difficult to produce something maximum if one divides his attention and focus on other things at the same time such as working while gambling, as you said and it is true that this behavior can interfere and reduce one's productivity at work which ultimately makes their work disrupted and neglected, in such a situation I am sure that their main focus is only on gambling because they have previously thought and decided to gamble in the middle of working hours and that means their focus is more likely to be on gambling.

On the other hand there are a lot of negative impacts that they will experience, first it is clear that it is very possible for them to end the session with a loss and if they are one of the irresponsible gamblers then obviously they will not be able to fully accept the fact of defeat which in turn makes themselves experience emotions that can reduce the mood or enthusiasm to continue working, And another impact that I think can be more detrimental is that there is a possibility for them to lose their job if at that time their boss finds out that one of their employees is gambling during working hours, and of course it is very likely that they will eventually be fired for doing other things during working hours and also after all gambling is a negative activity in the perspective of society in general.

You need to look at it from various sides, I understand that women are more conservative than men, but doesn't that mean that women would prefer not to gamble? of course I think this is a fairly rational answer because conservative means they have the nature and habit of maintaining and maintaining, and as I said that most likely they will not choose to get involved in gambling because of the allocation of money that basically does not need to be spent.

This context applies more to maintenance in terms of maintaining a balance in family finances which I admit women have a conservative nature and know what to prioritize, and I think whoever is involved in gambling activities women / men still have the same possibility in the end in terms of addiction, I have one of my housewife neighbors who is addicted, I know that she is addicted because sometimes we gamble together and from that situation I can measure the level of her gambling activity so I can slightly conclude that she is quite addicted and every day I always see some loan sharks knocking on her door to collect debts.
1180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [A POLL] Without Chances of Making Money, Will you still be gambling? on: January 30, 2024, 06:07:30 PM
I think not why continue playing if there is absolutely no chance of winning, regardless of the purpose of gambling for fun but every active gambler definitely still needs the opportunity to profit. Maybe I just limit the money to play at the casino and don't try to spend a lot of money, I whatever the type of gambling. I always set a budget that is within my means and does not exceed the limit, and when I am in a game that does not produce any opportunities I will switch to sports betting.

Sports betting provides a greater chance of profit compared to other casino games, but that is if we can prediction it correctly, I prefer gambling that has a greater chance of profit than one that has a smaller chances because even though gambling is for fun but is still profit opportunities are also important.

Yes that's the main point, however gamblers come with the intention of just entertaining themselves but still they need money from winning, let's straighten out the difference here which is that the difference is that gamblers who prioritize entertainment over winning is because they understand that gambling is a high-risk activity and this is the reason why they come with more prioritizing entertainment over winning like the addicted gamblers do. This does not mean that gamblers who only prioritize entertainment will refuse if they get a win, of course any amount of winnings is a "decent" result to take as a reward for their participation in gambling, and another difference is that gamblers who come with the goal of fun will not force winnings to come with excessive actions that are always done by addicted gamblers.

In terms of budget, of course what you are doing is indeed a recommended thing in gambling which is to limit the amount of budget, because after all gambling is just a probability activity that has no certainty of winning, simply put you can lose and can win at the end of the session and it is unknowable, meaning that only luck can make you go home with a win, and this is the reason why we are more advised to bring small amounts to gambling, because the fear is that it is very possible for you to lose when bringing large budget amounts. For sports betting it is true what you said, but maybe I wouldn't say that there is a bigger winning advantage because this depends on the amount of budget you bet, the point is that sports betting gives you a bigger "chance" and you will be able to get closer to the possibility of winning if you have good knowledge and skills, and if you have a pretty good knowledge in the field of sports then I would advise you to bet there than other bets, but still risk management still needs to be applied because after all sports are still a gamble and a possibility.
