There's no way that your win is assured when the game hasn't ended yet, it's the name of the game after all and there's always a comeback when it comes to sports so definitely no way to be sure of a win until the game's over and yes it's definitely frustrating but I don't think that it should be the thing that's going to make you feel about the game the most, you at least should feel some admiration to the fact that they've defied the odds and they've won, I think that it's awe inspiring and admirable that I wouldn't be mad if it ever happens to me when I bet.

Do you think that rich people don't gamble? If you think so, you are wrong. And do you think that they gamble to win money? Of course not, because they already have a lot of money and they don't need to earn money from gambling as they have enough sources of income already. So, they gamble just for fun and they consider it an activity of the rich as they often tend to choose to do what requires a lot of money so that they can show the world that they are rich and they can afford a very expensive lifestyle.

So, it depends on one's financial ability and their mindset about gambling in general, and that mindset is often a result of the financial capabilities of a person, which means that if you are rich and can afford it, you will just enjoy gambling, but if you are not rich and still gambling, it means you are looking for money through it.

Sometimes people are always addicted to playing gambling online and this has made them loss alot of funds, due to always topping up theire casino account with there debit card when they loose. and this usually makes them exhaust all there funds.

While those people playing offline in casino halls play with only the little money they have at hand, and that will reduce the risk of over spending. So now my question is this

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?

I do not like thread that are long already. I prefer threads that is not more than 1 page long. I went through a long thread this time, some people are quoting me on the thread about who loses more to gambling and I read some replies only to find out that most people are saying rich people are likely to make money than poor people in gambling.

Gambling as a main source of income is not a good move, because it's more expensive to keep up with such a career, compared to other means of earning money. I think as gamblers we all need to gamble for fun and learning purposes. The mathematicians in your context, mostly don't gamble for the money. They're working on some of their formulas and how they could be applied to gambling. They could be wagering smaller amounts of money on the casino, just to understand how the mathematician running the house edge was able to code the machines. Losing is also on their end, because the house edge has been set for a reason, which is maximizing profit for the house. If mathematicians were able to win every single time in gambling, we all would run to them to help us gamble. The game is mainly not about winning all the time, the gamblers can only utilize probability formulas to win. Right, the math gurus have some advantage over nonmathematicians, but I'd still insist that our instincts are the real mathematicians when it comes to probability.

I do regret not following my instinct on a particular game. But get over it because the house is under control of the outcomes or results. All these factors made it difficult for people to win gambling with just mere skills. Earning by chance as you said, is a good expectation for any gambler, but sometimes that feeling gets out of hand after the win arrives. No way out of gambling as a career or a means of making profits, except the player stops immediately after the big win. Once they continue, maybe the next day, the gambler would lose it back to the house. Such things only prove my point earlier, that gambling is for learning purposes. Knowing how to manage money when faced with double choices, which one to spend money on, and if it'll be profitable. A lot can be learned through gambling. However, it's not for kids. Smart people make fortunes from the knowledge they've gotten through gambling. It's more like paying for a course on Udemy. This time for money, and risk management. Being able to control ourselves even when faced with a big loss.

One thing leads to another and a well-groomed relationship could blast into a full-grown fire of trouble because of a single match stick of lie that was detected. Yes, the gambler needs to stop to save his family from a long-term problem. Because when we uncomfortably participate in gambling, we may not be reasonable enough like when gamble in a stable state of mind. However, people are not always made complete without some problems. The wife also has some flaws that the gambler needs to live with. Every marriage has a dispute, one way or another, both spouses are not perfectly made. Peace only reigns if one person stays in a house, but once two or more people are under the same roof, at some point, troubles begin to erupt. Solving the gambling trouble doesn't end the problem of the marriage. It's just a temporary dispute, the brain can't leave the gambling slot empty without being occupied with some other leisure activity which the man must use to keep himself busy.

And the part of the woman's brain that wasn't comfortable with gambling would not be comfortable with the activity eating up the man's time, and vice versa. Because the man also has some things he doesn't like about the wife. Hence, in a family spouses need to have a mutual understanding, and help one another in changing or solving their troubles. Gambling responsibly is not a problem or trouble, but it could be a source of dispute in a family. You see the different perspectives that need to be settled, the woman's flaws could be fine in the eyes of people who understand her attitude, but not in the man's senses. For instance, we are the people who can differentiate between when a gambler is in his right mode and when he's addicted. But, some other people can't, they only rate gambling as wrong or bad. Nothing would ever make them understand that some are responsible while others are not, they only placed everyone in that same category. So, it'll be hard to stop issues from happening in a relationship, it's better to hold on to one trouble and solve it mutually and both parties accept some terms. Because stopping a responsible gambler from gambler, may not be the right solution for the relationship.

For gamblers whose only intention is to have fun, I think the risk is none of them. Risk only enters a gambler if the motive and intention are to get a profit from it or get a jackpot. In short, they think it is a source of income.

Then I don't seem to see any career in gambling except maybe playing poker, billiards, and boxing, but the games that are slots, baccarat, and blackjack—I don't think that these games I mentioned can be considered a career.

Looking at the growth in gambling today, let's say online casinos or gamblers. You'd find out that some people who wish to make money online, have ventured into gambling as a niche to yield money. They may have thought about it as a better form of generating income. The effect one has on gambling has to do with his first thoughts before venturing into gambling. We all have reasons and motives why we began gambling, which is not simply about making money or not. But, how long would we keep up with the motive, regarding the amount of money we own as gamblers? These naive beginners end up losing out their remaining money, and borrowing, due to their initial conclusions on gambling as a means of generating income. At first, they do all that with their right senses, but to some extent, they'll no longer be in the right control to change their thoughts or look for another means of earning. Discipline to our bankroll, matters a lot, in gambling, and it requires the need to set a long-term goal on what we want in gambling.

It's saddening to hear of a gambler who now sees gambling as his side hustle. How long would he be able to hold on until he begins to lose productivity in his main job or business? So, that mindset is what causes addiction in most instances, as it's not a compulsory rule that people must win in gambling. But, the people with such plan in their beginning stage of gambling, have the same will keep going until all have been lost including the money meant for business. The pain and anxiety, now fuel the addiction to accumulate and the person won't be able to quit gambling easily. Gamblers need to have another source of income, and also take it seriously than they do with gambling. Relaxation shouldn't be every second. I think gamblers are expected to make out the time on when to gamble and have cool mind control.

Both are dangerous for a person if he is an addicted gambler. But it is true that online gambling makes easy to catch some addicted gambler more than offline gambling. But if the question is for privacy and security then I think online gambling casino will be better option to be anonymity.

In my opinion making cash from gambling is not a good option and the statistical probability that you will win every game at every casino is very low. I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.

Being a responsible gambler is nice for every gambler, but may also be a problem in a relationship for a spouse who doesn't like, one bit, gambling. It also serves as a means of extra work for the gambler. He needs to convince his wife that there is nothing wrong with what he's doing. The aim and goal of that gambler is to secure his home and not put an end to a long-lasting relationship that he has formed in his life. Because the disadvantage of being a responsible gambler in a relationship where the spouse frowns at gambling is that, if the relationship breaks, the responsible gambler can become a compulsive gambler in the process, due to heartbreak. Hence the gambler needs to endeavor to stabilize his relationship and make a space in his time to explain to his wife not to be afraid about his gambling habit. But if the girl's family rule is strictly against it, I don't think the relationship would last long. In such a relationship, the gambler needs to hide it from the nongambling spouse.

That way he doesn't need to gamble at home when the wife is around. Or he can be making use of the physical casinos. It can only get better, but gambling is a threat to most relationships. It has no good news circulating in the brains of people. Once a person figures out you gamble, his first impression of you will change, and he'll begin to see you as a person who is not money-conscious, wastes money on casinos borrows to gamble, etc. And to remove such doubts on them would be difficult, as the ways to prove them are very slim. Unless the players win a jackpot, his spouse will still have doubts about the gambler. Being financially conscious while gambling as a married man is very crucial. Failing our family is like dealing with ourselves too. Whatever we see as bad to us shouldn't be used to affect the peace of our family members.

Regret is a natural thing experienced by someone when everything does not go according to what they wanted. Many gamblers have experienced incidents like you where they lost their money and couldn't find it after searching for a while. And it turns out that while they were looking, the clock was ticking, and finally, they were too late to place their bet. But actually, there must be something behind losing our money because maybe if we go to an offline casino to buy the ticket, we can't get it.

Often the things that make us regret are not because we couldn't do them but because some things prevent us from doing them. But that's how I felt, and if I think about it, I do feel regretful. And I'm not able to do anything.

Yes, we need time to recover from addiction. It will depend on the wishes of each gambler. Some people can be able to finish the healing process from their gambling addiction in a short time and some people are not able to finish it and instead return to gambling again, where they become increasingly addicted to gambling. This really requires encouragement from various parties so that people who are addicted to gambling can try to heal themselves and be free from their gambling addiction. The person needs to reset his brain again so that there is no desire to gamble anymore and he will do various healing sessions to recover from his gambling addiction.

We enter this arena by choice, not coercion. It's our choice. The blame game? There's no point in doing it. We gamble, pay the price. Just that simple. Thinking about it, gambling is a combination of excitement and danger. This is a personal choice. Losses are common, therefore blaming others is unethical and misguided. We gamble and own results.

The gambling niche demands unique strategies, and participants must utilize ideas as it suites them. Generally, money management and discipline is the key to responsible gambling. Placing a paper on the computer screen, as a remembrance, may have been the right thing for OP, not to be carried away. Gambling works in a way that winning can lead us to think out of our discipline. So, when chasing losses the piece of paper can help the player to recall that he's about making some gambling mistakes, which can ruin his bank roll. Although, not every gambling would let this strategy work for them, as their individual family rules differs. People act according to the home they were trained. Therefore, we shouldn't expect advise or strategies such as this to be reasonable to every gambler. Personally, I don't think of doing it, despite being a good idea. Those who completely trust in such strategy, can give it a try and share the results. A player who already controls his finance, don't require reminder to stop gambling. The little balance he's got will forcefully stop him, when it's exhausted. Which strategy, remains the best for gamblers. As abundance of money in our balance, is the primary reason gamblers get swayed of their initially discipline to stop at a specific moment. Or when they get a significant win.

Rich people are not suddenly more skilled at gambling.

When gambling everyone has the same odds, rich or poor. The thing is that the rich might have more disposable income, so they can lose more.

And the poor person might end up in financial ruin faster than the rich. But that's all, the odds are the same for both.
