Personally, they did not influenced me at all. But I do know that there are gamblers at the present who were persuaded by some influencers to be involved in this industry. That's just how influence work but we cannot generalize. On my perspective, influencers who are promoting particular platforms are biased and some informations are exaggerated in order to fulfill the purpose of their content and for them to primarily be paid by the platform. Actually influencers have the power to convince even with the products they are suddenly bringing on their content . Influence is a huge power they are having which is why I don't support gambling contents from them. There's no way they can accurately and that simply means minors could be influenced as well which why I hate the most. Gambling sites for me are enough being introduced in rightful communities and forums and not with mainstream platforms if they want to make their "influencing" right.
Greed has nothing to do with whether you are new to this industry or not because it is dependent on the individual. There are new gamblers who have prior knowledge and discipline on the amount they are betting and with experienced bettors, there are still compulsive ones. Actually, it would make more sense to think that long time gamblers are having poor gambling discipline than with new gamblers.

Knowing the reason or purpose will make you consistent; tired of losing, have no more money to gamble, not being able to function on aa daily basis due to losses, and whatever reason that is. What's important is to have any.  If it is just having another activity to occupy your time then that would be easy however consistency won't be there. A reason adds weigh to the activity on why you are having a hard time to quit doing so. With gambling; the drive to earn money is the bottomline why many gamblers are hooked. For example are sports fanatics engaging to sports betting. They could just watch the game if it is only for their passion but why do they need to gamble? Most likely because of the possible profit in every winning bet they wil be having. Therefore if you aim to stop doing an activity, it should not only be the activity which should be replaced but also the motive, which should also be compensated. Personally, I think I would only be able to quit gambling once my loss became too huge that will put me in debt.
If you no longer have money to bet then you will be forced to stop and realize how bad things went. Well in some instances other gambling addicts are making their way to be able to bet but that I guess is another problem to resolve and another side to discuss. I know some people who retired from gambling due to circumstances and responsibilities; everything has a purpose and alternative task they will make use with their time.

Bet with high numbers consistently until your luck takes place however, expect for huge loss in return. High risk means high reward to all gambling games not only in sports betting. But with sports betting you really have to bet huge in order to earn more unlike with casino games wherein small amount could yield to jackpot prizes. In sports betting you could only rely with odds to determine how much you can possibly take home with you. Multipliers are rare and will only be possible if you will have multiple bets and if you happened to be not a big roller, then making millions would be a problem to achieve.The only tip I would honor and acknowledge is to be preventive of huge loss in gambling 'coz the other way around of getting it back is what's more likely to happen. Tricks and strategies would sometimes work however no certainty and consistency would be expected to be seen along the way.
The idea of getting 'somewhere' in gambling is because of lucky winners of casino games and authorized lottery games which supports the idea that it is possible however there are people views possibility as certainty or guarantee of winning. With what are mentioned on bookies; none of it will be consistent if you are handling things right as a gamber.

On my end, I think it would be my last bet which will make me regret gambling. First bet won't be first if no attempt followed unlike with your last bet which means you are already tired of things already or with your gambling journey. We may engage to any gambling game that we would want 'coz there's plenty to choose from however, if it is not your day then expect nothing less than losing. When it comes to regrets; those who almost or have lost their "all" already in gambling are the ones who are more familiar with that feeling which most likely decided for themselves to quit 'coz they both have no enough eagerness and resources to continue; what's left with them are their regrets. Unfortunately, there's no undo option once things are placed and no matter how you beg for things to be in favor of your desires.

If you are one of the new ones and you fear of such instance in your career that you will regret everything, quit already and never wait for it to happen. Have the initiative to save yourself from such feelings. Everyone is free to gamble but not everyone would be glad of what they have in this industry. Most of the people are losing; thus, gambling success is not for everyone. Emotions are a tough opponent from this activity. You'd only know you did wrong once you are already on the 'ground' wishing for things to just be a dream.

But aware that she's gambling? Have you experienced getting drunk? 'coz I did. I really don't acknowledge that excuse of "just drunk" to any possible thing a person would do; cheating on their partner, doing crazy stuff and such. For sure at that very moment you are fully aware of what you are doing. So I guess there's just a problem with the girl; general health condition or in particular with mental health but not to conclude 'coz it would be somewhat discriminative. But if it is just the alcohol then this should be a huge lesson for her to at least leave enough energy to be conscious and to not go all out whenever she is out drinking. Nothing to do with gender and sexes but to her as an individual to protect her own reputation to public given what place she's been.
Question is how will they know? Would the girl present it to the entrance voluntarily? Will the receptionists assess a psychological testing before gamblers enter the casino? Silly it is to think of but it would be impossible. If the girl is aware of her condition she won't announce it with initiative 'coz for sure she knows that she won't be allowed to gamble or to enter the establishment which is in contrast of her purpose to why did she go there in the first place. We have many questions in our mind and only her would be abe to answer unfortunately or whether the casino would give their statement about it 'coz complaints are a bit expected from others who are playing peacefully.

I prefer playing silently when I am gambling. One reason is to be able to think seriously with my bets and another is pressure and lack of comfortability with my gambling experience. It is just hard to focus on things if your attention is torn between minding your bets or listening to what the dealer is talking about. As humans, we are only capable of selective attention. There are just time we would want additional noises such as with socialization to other gamblers or with the dealer but for sure it won't be always on my end. First of all I chose online gambling because I only have to mind myself when playing unlike with landbased casinos wherein socialization is difficult to avoid. There are also instances wherein talking is a form of distraction to cheat although this is not to conclude but it would be better to still be mindful of things to prevent such unwanted scenario.
However, not all gamblers are comfortable of it and that's enough to not initiate with talks unless players started it themselves. Many gamblers are losing big time and if you are in their shoes, would you like to be distracted given that you're focused of getting what you have lost? I believe you won't and not making unnecessary talks and noises are also a form of respect given that you are not the only one playing. You are free to enjoy such feat but never expect that all people would also do; we have our own preference.

Will there always be a need to find someone to take the blame if someone important to you did a bad thing? Would you wish to see your child is stealing? For sure all of us won't like our child/children to do bad things but it won't also be valid to scold someone including ourselves, just for the sake of looking back with what happened. Focus more on the present and the future; let the child know what's wrong from what's right on the right way. Show him or make him realize things nicely. Give the idea of the consequences of our actions. If it is not in an instant then be patient 'til they learn from it. Allow them to make baby steps as long as they are moving forward with what should be done or be acted when faced with other people.

With the mentioned scenario, things were done already. Do your best to learn from it and acknowledge how good people would make you realize the things you know nothing about. Remember that it is child we would be dealing with in most instances. I, too, is guilty of such act before when I was still young and trying to let her buy the thing that I want. The fact that one is now aware of how it did. It won't be an instant counseling for our children and if you're authoritarian, do things with care still. No lesson is learned thru violence.

I get the point that you are trying to help him but that won't give you the right to dictate the person on what will he enjoy the most. As you have mentioned, you knew he is familiar with sports but why did he still choose playing slots? There are possible reasons; more convenience given that a game would only cost him fee minutes, or he just enjoy it more. Also, either of the two games mentioned won't give you assurance for a positive outcome 'coz there will always be risk of losing. Well, indeed analysis work in sportsbetting but will it be enough? 'coz if we would look on a brighter perspective both games has its own risk we would be embracing the moment we placed our bets. Nothing's on advantage or disadvantage as long as the gambler himself knows what he is doing and is enjoying his time of gambling.
Tactics and strategies will only help you to lessen the risk of losing but will never make winning certain. Everything's dependent with luck; underdogs can win too. Even the most unexpected could still happen in a single snap. Everything's part of the game.


We have our own ways of enjoying this industry. In some instances, sharing our way to ither people would be better, but there are also instances that it won't be. Rather than thinking if our suggestion would help them, I think it is better to ask him first if you are too concerned of his choice of gambling game. We're all adults and we have our own choice of what we know would be good for us.

Greed is something we cannot control but we still can prevent it from taking over our gambling habits. Greed is simply a manifestation of our mindset; if you are too eager to make huge money out of gambling then for sure you'd be prone to it. Next thing in line is self-discipline; set a limit of how much you can afford to lose and an amount you'd be happy taking home with. We do all want to win money from the games we engage ourselves with however we do have our own standards when it comes to 'how much' are we referring to. If it is millions, then thing won't be happening if you'd be greedy unless you are lucky to hit jackpots. Most of the tme you'd only win a small percentage of that idealization and it is for you to decide whether you will bag it already or to continue as much as possible. Indeed you'd be unconscious of things along the way and that's why discipline is important; you would probably win less than your ideal but for sure you'd also lose less than what you fear.

Not to brag but I'm quite in good terms in this industry; not winning that much but also not losing big time. Result? I'm not stressing about money I am spending in gambling and at the same  time enjoying things more than what I was doing before.It is indeed envious to see how others are winning however whenever I am thinking of the amount they have lost, which are often amount I cannot afford, I am sticking with what I am doing at the present. It is okay to have second thoughts or hesitation 'coz what will matter is your action afterwards.

It is really possible if we disregard buying unnecessary things in life like just providing all our essential needs, we would have a lot of savings as well the investment. Luxury could be considered as an investment as well cause some of the luxuries increase their value over time like the rarity since some of the products are being phased out or made limited. Some people prefer to live more simply like in the picture posted by the OP, I don't know why some judge it but I consider it normal. We shouldn't judge someone based on their outer look or appearance, they might have millions in their account but like to live that way, they don't want to hassle themselves to look rich they just want to be comfortable.

Many people in the crypto industry have been involved for many years but haven't reached that far where they could be financially free with their profits since Bitcoin is still volatile and you cannot predict its future price. Even for some groups where they are even asking money from people by giving them their calls and their predictions which doesn't guarantee to happen. You can do your own analysis which is much better since it's your own money to make your own decision because it is your money that you putting at risk, just develop your experience, knowledge, skills, etc before investing, and do your own research. Remember that they are still people who can still have bad judgment which can cause losses, so it is much better if the decision comes from you.

Oh sorry will delete, thanks for the info

Exactly, if you do these both responsibly you can literally avoid addictions. Even in advertisement of alcohol drinks there would be always a tip of "drink responsibly" because it depends on the person who drink if he would drink excessively. Just think of the rehab center would be pricey like here in my country because they would prescribe you pills for sure as the addiction already affected your health. But this kind of topic doesn't really talk about here since the most people affected by addiction by gambling is the rich one, where you can hear cases of them selling their houses and cars.


Well, for some but for sure there's still cases of people that reach that far as they don't know how to handle their addiction which can causes violence to their surroundings. But yeah, some just want support from their family to overcome their problem of addiction

Exactly, they the one that most exposed into gambling by having enough funds to continue unlike the poor and the average ones, but let's not forget that gambling losses still affect the most are the poor and the average, rich might lose a lot of money but that money can be recovered by their high paying income or business, where the both poor and average doesn't have enough spare money so some would get to loan hoping to win huge amounts. Rich people might consider gambling as investment and entertainment which the both as well trying to do, but they differ in their financial status. In short, one afford to risk the money they have and the other both doesn't afford to lose that amount which worsen their situation.

Of course, first you would need a plan like setting up a goal and limiting up yourself for example trying to win this kind amount which reasonable and when you are losing you can quit early to avoid excessive loss. Before you enter gambling you already knew that there's a risk involved, and the fact that it doesn't always guarantee a win so expect a huge amount of losses if you are planning to gambling for a long time. Plus stop being greedy, if you have won a certain amount you can already take profit, cause winning is like a a small possibility that you could get. And lastly have a risk management, self control like with your emotions.

Nah, gambling is considered as a personal interest of a person or habits which you shouldn't bring to your work. Just imagine this, you take a bath at work, sleep, eat, do your laundry, etc. do you think there's nothing wrong with that? Just apply it to gambling at work, there's a discipline and being a responsible employee that tou have task to do, not to sht around by betting your salary when you are on duty. Your time is getting paid so that time you would be contributing by just simply doing your work. Maybe gambling after work or break time it's up to you. Don't combine this two cause not for the gambler but for the company's sake also for you not lose your job.

Patience is a must when you are involved into gambling cause if you lack it, there's a tendency that you will have a wrong calls and bad decision. Most of the gambling that involves patience is the games where there's a timer, it will pressure the player to make a call with a limited time so if you don't handle it that enough time to make a right call by quick analysis, timing, bet, and etc. Staying composed and calm despite having a limited time might not lessen the risk of gambling since it's literally a pure luck, but it would help you to decide what is the best bet especially if you think you have a good hand or good observation.
