1201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: December 29, 2023, 12:04:11 AM
Temptation in gambling can always happen and gamblers are very rarely able to avoid it and are always tempted by their own mindset and that is only natural because we gamble using money so whatever happens can influence our thoughts to become emotional or greedy and make gamblers more aggressive in betting continuously. constantly forgetting to gamble responsibly.
In this case it has been proven that all types of gambling are not wrong and not bad but it depends on the gambler's thinking.
Let us be clear on the point that greed is what leads to easy prey to addiction, except for those wealthy people who enjoy spending their money at a loss.
This is why it must always be emphasized that the definition of gambling has not changed as it is a recreational activity in which a person bears responsibility for excessive practice. In all cases of gambling addiction, this is the responsibility of the gambler and not the gambling platform or gambling itself. In general, everything will become harmful if it is practiced intensively for a long time, even if it is a sporting activity that is beneficial to the body, it may turn into harmful if it is not practiced carefully. Imagine that we blame sports because someone lost their breath due to exhaustion due to practicing it for a long time without interruption.

I was trying to compare video game addiction and gambling addiction. It's not far from being different activities, because gamblers play games online with their money, while video game players do it with their TV or laptops. They also get addicted, but not like gamblers who stake money to play games. The greed as you both mentioned is mainly the reason why most gamblers suffer too much from gambling. The anxiety of losing money that may be needed to settle other life expenses kicks gamblers into addiction. Unlike the video game player who may not get traumatized for wasting money. Their main trouble is the time they spend each day playing games. Hence, your responses are great and also show how the money gamblers seek in gambling puts them into a long-term gambling problem. And because the house only offers gambling a small fraction of each money they wager, the gamblers only have to win at some point and lose multiple times.

If the gambler doesn't mingle with a similar idea of earning money through gambling, he won't have many problems while gambling. He can easily control his emotions and not be carried away by the mistake of chasing more funds. A responsible gambler can be advised to continue gambling, while the compulsive gamblers should stop. Mainly for their health and the society's peace of mind. The family of such people pass through hard times trying to cure the gambler. Like in the Op's view, his gambling-addicted father wasn't good to him, that's why he has developed a family rule that kicks against all forms of gambling. This is what addiction can do to the future of gamblers. Only a few people would accept gambling as a good activity with some good benefits. All that is being circulated the society is the bad reviews left by most addicted gamblers. I think people should first start with having good reasons for joining gambling, other than making money.
1202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Health Benefits of Gambling on: December 28, 2023, 11:38:45 PM
In my opinion, there are no health benefits of gambling. Gambling will ruin you financially and it also affect your health in a negative way. I know gamblers who are broke (and I mean broke, drowning in debts with no money for food or a roof over their head), depressed, have panic attacks and have no real friends or a stable relationship. The fact is, gambling is Not an advisable method for earning money. It is a fun way of spending money though. It is entertaining and has the benefit of possibly increasing your money. other forms of entertainment only drain your money. While the odds are low, it is possible to win in the short term.

It's possible to win in the short term but very unlikely to happen, many individuals that are gambling are losing money but can't stop gambling as they're addicted. The only health benefit of gambling that I know of is that it can make you happy when you win but many individual that are gambling aren't winning therefore that health benefit isn't getting to every one that's gambling. When gambling you have to know that you'll be more sad than happy as you'll lose more.

There are more health disadvantage from gambling than the benefits, gambling has a lot of negative effects. When you're a gambler, you'll always be looking at that your phone screen gambling and it can affect your eyesight. We have gamblers that gave been addicted to gambling and spend hours on their phone screen gambling which they later in future have eye sight problems.

Gambling has lots of untapped health benefits. But the only problem with most gamblers and nongamblers is that they're more concerned about the bad aspects of gambling. Everything has a good and bad aspect. Cars are good, but people also get injured through it. Yet people wouldn't stop using it because of the benefits it provides to mankind. Why people gamble is different, and the definition of gambling for each person is different too. Due to their view on how gambling works. Most people who have seen an addict's actions and how they put their family in long-term trouble, wouldn't believe anybody that says gambling has a health benefit. However, a gambler who is mainly focused on the health benefits gambling can provide, has no reason to bother about the thoughts of people around him, regarding his gambling habit. Because he's learning each day he gambles, how to manage money, maintain his emotions not to chase loss, and guide himself on when to stop gambling for the day.

This process helps the human brain to stay in control whenever required in real life. What Op enlisted in his threads is true, gambling helps a player to relieve stress, even critical thinking, and I saw a member add building social networks. Excessive gambling is bad and leads to problem gambling. It needs an experienced player to understand the importance of gambling. Not every gambler would be able to know what gambling has to offer the human brain. The results one gets via gambling, be it compulsive or reckless gambling is as ignorant of how gambling works. Out of many other benefits, one could get from gambling, the masses only publicized money as the meaningful reward gambling offers. Hence they go after it, chasing shadows, and end up addicted. Then run to the masses again to tell them that gambling is addictive and that they've lost all their money.
1203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: December 28, 2023, 11:10:43 PM
The player has some funds to win through gambling. Unless the casino has no provably fair feature or operates a 100% house edge, the gambler has some percent to win in every $100 they wager in a casino. Depending on how well they try to wager the money. Not talking about a player who wagers his money at once. Those who want to target the reward per $1000 wager, can be staking $50 - $100. Players looking at $100 can focus on wagering smaller amounts like $5 or $10 to enjoy their game till it gets to that threshold. However, it is not made to look this way in the casino, but the house knows a way of rewarding players, to keep them in the casino, thereby making more money for the house. If a gambler doesn't win at all, he won't be energized or motivated to gamble again. So, a gambler who's determined to take gambling as a career must know the house edge and the provably fair of the casino they want to make their office.

It's encouraged that the gambler starts up with a good amount of money and wagers accordingly to extend his days of gambling and increase his possibility of not running out of money. Given time he'll be earning some money to add up his existing bankroll. Thereby enjoying extra days of gambling. If he's well calculative he won't run out of money. But, the player needs to have spent years mastering the act of gambling, to consider gambling a retirement plan or a form of career for the long term. He may not expect to earn more profit, the gambler will not be in profit but can maintain his money not to finish. Moreover, if a gambler is not organized or has the skill to manage his money or be carried away to lose control of his plans, he should venture into such a risky game as a business. But the possibility is there to make a career in gambling.
Even though gamblers have the opportunity to win from a certain percentage of the money used to gamble, they still have the opportunity to lose or even lose all their money. This is what gamblers must realize, especially since they already know that they cannot possibly beat the house because the house is the business owner. Gamblers can only choose the bet amount they can afford and then enjoy gambling, and if they win, they should not continue gambling again in pursuit of bigger wins. A gambler who doesn't win will become curious about why he can't win and try gambling again another day. It has happened to many people, even those who want to make gambling their career will experience losing even more money.

If gamblers don't realize that gambling is not a career, they will only encounter failure, and even if they keep trying hard, they will not succeed. That is why if there are people who still want to make gambling their career, they should think about the risks and what will happen to them. If they were wise, they would not make gambling a career but would only make gambling a part of their entertainment. They would prefer to enjoy gambling as entertainment because they do not have to lose more money, and also they can stop whenever they want. He can also manage his money well and will not spend a lot of money just to gamble because that is not his goal in gambling.

I think the main goal of such people is maintaining the money not to finish. Because winning big will only make such a player vulnerable to losing more money in gambling. These types of gamblers are currently not beginners, they've been running the process of learning gambling for a long period. Hence being able to manage the money set aside for gambling wouldn't be a problem for the gambler, due to the experience he has garnered in his years of participating in gambling. Gamblers who face the fault only need to make money and don't have any experience or research available to help them achieve the goal of gambling as a career. We all understand how difficult it is to gamble, not to talk of gambling as a career. Somehow the person playing as a career with his skills would earn the money left for him by the casino. His percentage, because he gambles cautiously, would be given to him as a reward.

Since the house has made it that way, it's not something to be bothered about, whether the gambler would earn it or not. The mistake some gamblers make is that they want to get the reward immediately, as you said. Sometimes it takes weeks to gain the money, and when such people, inexperienced players, see the reward they hardly control it, instead the money leads them to gamble more. While those who are experienced enough to handle gambling as a career, may see losses, it still requires their management skills to know when to stop for the day. However, this type of career is not meant for most gamblers. Because they won't be able to withstand the problem gambling that might face them in the process. That's why I do recommend, that players with skills and gambling experience venture into such a career. Moreover, the player must have lots of money to finance the gambling lifestyle.
1204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: December 28, 2023, 10:39:49 AM
He only got moved by the fact that he can't lose to a novice, as you said. That's the fall of most men today, believing that some people can't be better than them in their field. Gambling is not a game where we'd be moved by the reactions of people around us, like in the story, the man was bothered by the laughter of those around him. He wasn't prepared to face the shame and, hence preferred to lose more money to cover for it, thereby chasing loss. The story is nice and also helps to prove that some professional gamblers can still get addicted to gambling. Because at some point, they won't be able to control their emotions and make a series of mistakes, without knowing or being aware of it. We all have different motives and our actions change each day of the gambling session. The game can change, and the results may seem promising, so the gambler may play reluctantly, trusting that he will win, just in a few predictions.

A professional can be challenged with such a situation, where he thinks it's his day and nothing can stop him from seizing the opportunity. Not realizing that no gambler has a day. Outcomes or results change, hence nobody is entitled to winning, alone. A newbie can win more than a pro, someday. Those who gamble because others did, will deceived into thinking that if a newbie wins, while won't there win also. In the process, they'll end up losing all their bank roll and rush to take loans to gamble, like in the case of the man in the movie, illustrated above. Once it gets to taking a loan the gambler is close to becoming addicted, as he can't wager games with his full mind anymore. He will play to gain back enough money to fund or pay back his debts. Therefore, putting himself in a more severe problem, all because of a mistake he made out of ego or trying to prove that he's a competent gambler. Anybody can get addicted, not minding his level of gambling knowledge, pro or new.
If someone feels arrogant and boasts about himself and feels better than others, he will face defeat from others. Sooner or later, this will happen, and as a professional gambler, he should be able to control himself and choose not to continue gambling instead of borrowing money and losing all his money. And yes, even a professional gambler can become addicted to gambling if he loses control of himself so much that he doesn't realize that he has changed just because a beginner beat him. It would be really sad if a professional gambler experienced that. That means he still needs to learn many things so that he is not affected by anything that happens while he is gambling and can remain a wise professional gambler. A professional gambler should be able to act better than a beginner and can take care of himself well too.

But usually, a professional gambler who is challenged by a novice gambler will underestimate the novice gambler's abilities so that he seems to be just gambling carelessly. But after a few rounds, he must have seen that the novice gambler had better gambling skills, but he didn't want to admit it. It turned out that after gambling for a while, the professional gambler was defeated by a novice gambler, and he couldn't accept it. If he ends up being provoked by his emotions and wants to avenge his defeat, he will not stop himself but will instead be even more eager to beat the novice gambler. Conversely, the novice gambler can actually carry himself calmly and not be provoked by the professional gambler and ends up winning the gambling game. It was a sad ending experienced by a professional gambler, and it would be a matter of pride for the novice gambler because he managed to beat a professional gambler.

Reading your last paragraph, I was able to determine the reason why the novice won the game. He wasn't anxious about winning. He played the calculative game and was not bothered if he won the round or not. Hence his ideas became accurate and calculated, due to the fact he was not rushing to win or prove a point to anybody. He also didn't care about what people would say, after all, he's a novice and the people are around cheering him up for his previous wins. His further loss won't matter. He never panicked about the outcome of the result. Compared to the professional gambler who wasn't at rest. He only needed to show his friends that the novice player couldn't win and he may have bragged the first time, that he wasn't serious and only allowed the novice to win the round. While he was trying to balance the game and the thoughts of the people watching the game, his mind was now compounded with different thoughts. He wasn't focusing on the game anymore.

Instead, what people are saying about him clamored his decisions and he made lots of mistakes which he won't give account for, even after losing the game. He's now on the verge of chasing losses and borrowing money just to win the novice. These two people have passed a message to gamblers. The winner, a novice gambler, didn't stress himself on the win. He even had in mind that he'd win the game. Playing for the fun of being with a professional was his first joy, and the win didn't bother him anymore. When one is less concerned about winning in gambling, he would make good decisions that can make him win from the predictions he's placed. While those chasing after the win may not win, and when they win, the money still goes back to the house. Because they don't get satisfied. The professional wasn't satisfied with the losses he had accumulated, that was why he went for a loan. Until he now came to his senses to stop and receive the shame of losing out to a newbie. I don't understand why some pro gambler would underestimate a newbie, without acknowledging the fact that gambling knows no newbie or a pro.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: December 28, 2023, 09:55:49 AM
There is also a point that we can indeed do a little research if indeed the person who wants to finance is one of our friends, as you said about we can see from the nature and behavior of our friends as long as we are friends and also during that time there will definitely be some situations where he has borrowed your money and whether he can pay on time or not before, so with that it is true that the way you said is quite reasonable and it can be taken into consideration before finally agreeing to finance his gambling.

I think not only cautious but if they have doubts in the agreement with their friend then I think it's better to avoid this deal, after all gambling is very dangerous because the randomness of the final result is always the main difficulty to get a win, in the matter of the amount of money I think this can be negotiated between the two parties, if indeed the one who wants to provide capital has doubts then obviously he will not agree to the large amount requested by his friend to gamble. However, it is better to put only the amount that we can be responsible for, whether you are gambling yourself or paying for someone else, it can be useful to minimize regret at the end of the session if you lose.
But to be honest, it could cause problems for us if the money would be used to finance his gambling. We might be in an unpleasant situation, especially if he loses and spends all his money. Our relationship with him may not be good because of debts that have not been paid by him. Even if he can pay on time, he will probably repeat his desire to ask us to finance his gambling another day because he sees that he can borrow money from us. And it would be like he was using us to finance his gambling and we would also probably feel bad if he didn't because he is one of our friends.

This money problem can cause a rift between us because money problems can change a person's character quickly without them realizing it. We may be able to accept it but the people around us may not be able to accept it because I had an experience where there was a friend who borrowed money and I wanted to lend it to him because I felt he really needed it, but my wife didn't agree if I gave it the amount of money he requested. My wife said that I could lend him half of the total money he asked for because we also needed the money.

The research on the person may be good, due to his past wins, but it doesn't determine the results of the casino results. Rather he may face a losing spree that he won't be able to control after spending another person's money in gambling. Which indeed would be a huge problem in the relationship of such friends. The best thing to do is to allow the financier to decide if wants to do this, and also forget about the outcome. He only has a share when there is a win. Or he can gamble by himself. Anything else can lead to severe trouble and gambling is not the right niche to try such a thing. It's too unpredictable. Even the best lose out. Doing such a thing affects the responsibility of the owner of that money. He's no longer responsible for what happens with his money. Hence he won't be able to take the responsibility on behalf of someone else. It's crucial to know that whatever we do in gambling is a result of our choice. So, if they reached an agreement, we have no reason to alter it, but what matters is who among them would be most affected or sad.

The gambler takes the blame and may be asked to refund the money. Results do change when people are not comfortable with the outcome of their money investment. The financier may have been filled with lots of fantasies that he'd win lots of money and receive instances of people who did such things and won money. When the decision of the people around to judge such a dispute, erupts from funding a gambler. They'll blame the financier for giving a gambler his money to gamble. And this one is quite different from lending out money to a gambler. It's more like a deal. The financier does not have strong authority over the money like a lender would in the same situation. Following such cases, it's better to lend money than to finance a gambler, hoping on the profits. What if the profits don't show up? But on the side of the money lender or loan shark he has nothing to bother about if the person wins or not. His business is for the gambler to pay back once the signed duration is met.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It is you who can't stop betting. on: December 28, 2023, 09:34:08 AM
There are still people who can get rid of gambling addiction even though it is difficult to stop. It's really dangerous when you're addicted to gambling because your life will surely be ruined, you'll be in debt just by gambling, so let's avoid getting totally addicted to gambling because when you're addicted, you'll be in trouble.
Not only being in debt but also committing criminal acts such as stealing and others, the dangers of gambling addiction can really make someone do things they don't normally do, that's why gamblers must be more responsible when gambling so they don't feel addicted because gambling addiction is difficult to cure and It's true that not many people have successfully recovered from gambling addiction.

As much as possible, prevention is better than becoming addicted to gambling, control yourself when gambling and don't be greedy to get more wins, enjoy the game as we enjoy entertainment in other entertainment venues so don't be too obsessed with the demands of winning big when gambling, understand that we will never always win against the dealer, in fact we may only win occasionally and lose many times.

Those people, Sanugarid, who can get out of gambling addiction on their own can be one in a million addicted people The percentage is low. Is it possible for a mentally disordered person to heal himself? At some point, the person understands he's actually in trouble, but doesn't understand what's wrong with them. It's quite tiring as a gambler to become glued to gambling to the extent of getting addicted. One experience should be able to stop the gambler from continuing with his consistent unproductive gambling. I've seen some gamblers who appeared like addicted gamblers but weren't because they stopped gambling after a few massive losses, which rearranged their thoughts on gambling. Now they're focused on some other earning methods. Addiction is not simple to control, as the odds are mainly against the addicted person. Like the Op's response, it's the typical example of what other people would say to the gambler. Instead of advising him on what to do. Our main motive for gambling is to have fun or enjoy games with a little funds to make it look real.

Those who play video games, sometimes seem to be addicted to it, but their condition doesn't seem to be like the gambling addict. So, in the process of staking money, the gambler may lose his control and make mistakes that can affect his future life experience. Hence it's not in their control to stop gambling. Because they've lost control and can't do anything to help themselves. Despite losing the money, they can't feel the pain others would feel after losing money. They only focus on ways to generate extra money, to finance their gambling urge. Taking loans and suffering their parents with enormous expenses to spend on him, and they, his parents, may not be aware of the reason why the son is asking for too much. Those who fund the gambler unknowingly when they find out about their ward's situation. They're also in the right position to help him, by taking him to a therapist. The addicted person is mainly vulnerable and can't help himself in the hospital. 
1207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: December 28, 2023, 09:16:34 AM
But if it's a famous actress or model, it will be easy to invite people, or a content creator will be easy to invite people without creating their own website if the goal is referrals, because basically their followers will follow what they do, from trial and error to addiction.

Usually actresses are hired directly by casinos to promote gambling, without using referrals they can get money from many people who join and make deposits using the links they share in their content or whatever.
It would definitely be easier for those people, as their fame gives them some sort of authority among their fans they can exploit for their own benefit, but those people are not really doing this for the referrals anymore, casinos have to actually negotiate with them the amount of money they will receive for their services, so it is just another job for them in which they use their fame to promote something, instead of earning money depending on the amount of money that is wagered by the people that decided to register at the casino they are promoting due to their efforts.
That is the advantage of famous people with many followers so they can use it to attract those to join using the referral link they have shared. However, if the followers are wise, they will not immediately join but will find out more information about the casino before joining. Followers know that they have to ensure the casino is trustworthy and will not scam or provide a bad experience. These famous people will share the link with their followers and spread it on their social media so that more people can join using their referral link. Those famous people can get commission bonuses from their referral links because they use their popularity to get people to join them.

Celebrities make money through referral codes and add them to their social media page. However, most earners in affiliate programs are not celebrities alone. Most internet marketers still earn lots of money through affiliate programs. This type of marketing depends on social engineering and how people can handle their marketing means. Social media, SEO, Ad words, etc. This publicity helps affiliates to earn profits in gambling easily. But recently most top advertising companies don't care about the gambling niche. Don't know about AdWords, but Facebook ads have been against the gambling niche for a hundred years. The goal of any affiliate marketer is to prove to his audience that he's trustworthy likewise the casino, as you said ethereumhunter. However, the gambling niche offers one of the best affiliate programs like stake casino.

If a marketer is successful with affiliate gigs he won't have a hard time making money online. Because he doesn't have to work all the time. Most rich internet marketers travel the world as a result of the money earned through a few years of implementing affiliate marketing in their marketing strategy. Whenever, wherever you are in the world, the money keeps dropping. Waking up to money is the best part of making money. It seems like a hack to the finance world, where people need to work hours to earn money. However, affiliating is not easy, and quite saturated, but it's not a short-term task. Gamblers who want to follow through must have some time and money to boost their online presence. And also target the right audience that will yield them the profits, they want. However in the case of Op, I don't seem to understand why he thinks the casino doesn't pay out well or he can't redeem his affiliate bonus. Maybe the casino isn't offering a good payout to their affiliate marketers.
1208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: December 28, 2023, 08:53:25 AM
I gamble responsibly such that I never let it affect my relationship with my partner that is I only gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose therefore if lose no pain no gain after all my commitment to the family is not affected by gambling activities because I don't rely solely on gambling as means of income to support or cater for my family rather whatever income I earned from gambling serve as extra source of income that can be used to pay for some minor bills, of course I knew the consequences of being addicted to gambling and how it can affect my relationship with my partner thus I will always avoid anything that can bring about a strain relationship with my partner.
You are right to be a responsible gambler because we don't want to see our lives fall apart because we gamble excessively. We also know that many gamblers end up losing their responsibility in gambling, which causes their relationship with their partner to fall apart. And it's not worth it if we experience it because our goal in gambling is to have fun and get entertainment, so we have to be responsible gamblers. However, when we gamble, there will be temptations that will encourage us to continue gambling. But responsibility, self-control, and the desire to avoid more losses can make us stop our gambling activities before things turn bad. We will not experience any problems by gambling responsibly.

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.
1209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lack of proper knowledge on casino games increases chance of loss and reduce fun on: December 28, 2023, 08:35:14 AM
You didn't do anything wrong but you are playing the game as it is, because I think roulette is a game of chance. Although I have seen some gamblers who is playing it a little different, like they bet on multiple numbers and sections ( you know, the color ones, the odd/even, etc... thing ). Sure they can win often this way, but most of the times, the profit that they can get is only tiny, or they are only break even. And maybe their purpose of it is only to wager more?

As some casinos gives you a bonus if you wager high enough. But as a beginner on roulette, you can stick to what you are currently doing. To enjoy, will depend on the people. As some can enjoy if there is no learning curve.

Yeah, playing on different pockets is quite a good strategy for winning in gambling. It depends on the amount of money the gambler wagers on each of those pockets and luckily the ball would stop at one. But the disadvantage is that the win may not be enough to cover other money spent on other pockets. Hence the roulette player needs to do it once in a while and try some other methods too, which is needed in maximizing the winning opportunities for the gambler. Op never made any wrong mistake, as some users above would think. Every gambling journey begins with a mistake and it's inevitable. Gambling professionals also make mistakes and may end up losing huge amounts of money. While his lack of knowledge could be a factor, it's not the main factor. A newbie can win in slot games. The strategies used by gambling professionals rely mainly on money management and rescuing them from losing lots of money.

However, the newbies may believe that casinos or some gamblers have a cheat code for winning huge money via gambling. But, they don't understand that everyone in the casino house is equal when it comes to prediction games like slots. The difference is now in the experiences one has about the slot machine. He may be sure of some results after spending a specific amount on the machine. Maybe on the tenth spin, he may be expecting a win. However, it's still risky, and the player needs to wager with a smaller amount of money, still. Or maybe take the risk of putting lots of money into the process. If he focuses on the demo mode, he'd be able to understand the other means of betting on roulette games, like staking on colors or number intervals. But, the wins he sees in the demo mode can be a nitro that can convince the player to try the real board. He'll learn better paying on the real board than the demo. His actions are still accepted, as a newbie in the roulette game.

The most important aspect of gambling is the profits side that do makes us to gamble more. Those that understand that and know the major reason why they are gambling will never forget the reason why they opt in to gamble for the money. It is very important for us to stick to what made us to go into gambling rather than losing our focus and doing another thing. If we eventually go into gambling without no tangible reasons we might lose track and end up without any benefits. There are different ways we can gamble but we should always stick to what works for us.
I suppose that if you are a professional gambler the first and probably the only reason to gamble at all is for the profits you can get with it.

However a person that is unable to reach those results needs to have a different reason to gamble, because if they refuse to change their goal even if they know they cannot get profits then it is almost a given that they will begin to lose way too much money, which could encourage them to bet even more to recover what they have lost already and so on, until they lose everything they had.

It is true that majority of the gamblers gamble just to double their money but when one focuses so much on making profit,  it might lead to a more serious issue especially when the profits ain't forth coming as  expected.  This is where the gambler begins to experience negative health and financial challenges instead of benefits. Gambling is not a must thing to do, if a person wants to make money, there are many other ways of making money aside just gambling,  especially if the money you were expecting isn't coming through gambling.  There is no point chasing losses or gambling more with the hope of winning some day. The later results of all these vengeful gambling is not always good,  it can even lead to depression if not handled well. If gambling isn't working,  try something else.

The health importance of gambling as listed in the Op is very crucial in helping human life experience. Gambling offers more responsible characters to the players, but most people don't think of those, all they wonder about is making money out of gambling. This is not advisable for gamblers, because it's more like depending on one aspect of gambling and neglecting every other advantage of gambling. Making money the first priority and the main crucial reason why we gamble is not great in making a nice gambling experience. The purpose of gambling is to achieve success in life. And it has the knowledge capacity to offer such a reward to a gambler who is determined to master how gambling can be used to work in the outside world. A gambler who gambles for stress relief for instance, would receive it and would take the money spent during the process as his payment for the service.

The mental health we get outside gambling isn't it paid for? and the person wouldn't see it as wasted money.

But, people now worry about the money lost in gambling and go after it like a cheetah goes for its prey. This time it now sounds like a prey going for its predator. The reverse would be the case, instead of the gambler winning his money, he'd be having a bad time losing both the ones left in chasing for the lost ones. This confusion blinds gamblers a lot to think that they can't learn something else via gambling. Even some members would argue that gambling has no health benefits. Such people say this because of the mistakes they've made in gambling. It's nice for a gambler to learn to make money outside gambling, and then visit the casino for fun. When he's done playing for the day he can move ahead to his daily business. Hence, helping his productivity by being more calculative and knowing how to manage risks.

That's right, and people who are greedy and addicted to gambling just think that good advice or rules when gambling are just empty talk and they will definitely ignore them even though they are good things that gamblers need to pay attention to. because what's on his mind is playing and getting lots of money.

Of course people who are addicted can do any activity to get money and continue playing, as you said, people will commit crimes such as stealing money with the aim of facilitating their desire to gamble.
And how worrying it is for those who commit crimes because they just want to gamble, how sad the future will be.
a gambling addict who has lost himself will commit such madness that they will never even think about what the future holds because in their brain they are just gambling and having fun. from most of the gamblers in your city, of course you will occasionally hear news about the evils of gambling addiction, doing reckless things and often broadcast through the news and what is even sadder is that an addict who does crazy things like stealing is a minor who is addicted to gambling.
there are so many minors nowadays who try to gamble on slot games, they steal their parents' money and sometimes steal other people's things to sell and get money to gamble.

this is a very bad impact of excessive action and gambling should be used for fun but it has become a place that looks very bad because it is always decorated with gambling addicts who can do anything to continue gambling. and with news like this, anyone who has family or anyone close to them who is behaving strangely immediately approach them and ask whether it is related to gambling addiction before doing something that violates the law.

The future doesn't matter to such gamblers. They're now in the category of mentally disordered people and their actions don't have any feelings on them or their emotions. Gamblers only need to avoid that level of addiction because it gets chronic and gets too hard to avoid. As the case may be gamblers who do all sorts of immoral activities to help them fund their gambling mission, end up ruining their life and that of their family. Minors are not advised to gamble for the same reason as stealing and hawking substances just to raise money to gamble. When they get caught, they'll blame gambling. Thereby increasing the rate of bad publicity allocated to gamblers in society. Most people don't value gamblers due to the excessive bad results they've received from a gambling addict. Approaching is great, and I'm on the side of visiting some friends whom we've not been to their homes or houses for a while. They could be thinking of doing something wrong, to finance their gambling lifestyle. Keeping in touch with them can help reorganize the brain of the gambler to have a rethink and say no to risking his life because of gambling.

Young people who are up to the age of 18 or the appropriate age meant for gambling in their nation should be taught about the ways gambling works. What they can learn from gambling and how to implement it in their daily life. We all have some gambler friends around us, and it's also crucial to help society by helping them not to get addicted. Any moment they are in a bad mood, asking them gradually to know what is the problem can help in stabilizing the emotion so the player does not graduate to another stage of anxiety, where the process of healing him now gets too difficult. They neglect good advice because nobody controls or helps them to stick by it or practice it when gambling. When in the machine gambling it controls the emotions of the gambler, especially naive ones to go after the lost money. Sometimes the gravity is stronger than the advice they've read before gambling, hence the player tends to follow reality, which is winning back his lost money. After all, someone did it and it worked.
1212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: December 28, 2023, 07:38:54 AM
When we are looking for streamers and what we see and we want to learn things, strategies or something like that, if they don't give the truth then why follow them? I believe that there are many people who are very misinformed, and if there is a streamer like this, then you have to make it clear so that they do not follow them, living by deception is useless, especially in casinos, because it is money that you are going to lose, no. It is nothing, nor is it pleasure, the majority are looking for gain and being deceived in this is of no use, those who are followers because they like it is something else.
It's really hard to explain people they shouldn't blindy trust streamers on the internet, because they develop a relationship of idolization for those streamers. Here in my country we have a very popular youtuber who was promoting a famous casino called Blaze. Actually he is the poster boy of Youtube Brazil. And he was using his influence to sell the idea to his public that the casino he was promoting could work as extra income source, besides displaying himself on Twitch (streaming) making big profit from few bucks of dollar, somehow encouraging his audience to do the same, because as he said, it was easy and fast...

And how are we going to tell his fans they should avoid this guy because he is a manipulator due to the fact he is introducing them to gambling in the wrong way? It's easier for people to get against you than going against the influencer they love so much. It's a delicate matter, because it involves emotional bonds these people create towards popular figures of the internet. Maybe they have to lose money to learn by themselves they shouldn't idolize anyone. And in fact, many already did.

The goal of these streamers is to fetch traffic for their employers, and they're expected to make out cunning ideas to lure these naive people to join gambling as a means of earning income or a side hustle. The only difference between these streamers and other online influencers is their audience. Viewers on the streaming influencers page don't have the control to know if they're being cheated, lied to, or maybe not cared about their opinion. These things are being allowed because of the reason that the streamer doesn't force anybody to use or watch his channels. But, as you said the viewer already is in control psychologically and controls the emotions of the viewers with a few thousand winnings, which he shares on his videos. The same thing applies to the trading streamers on YouTube, they've led lots of people to trade cryptocurrency without knowing how it works. And looking at the audience like I said, those are people who want to or are convinced that they can make money through gambling. Because they not only trust the influencer the viewers also love them for being rich or successful in their endeavor, hence they can't think of being manipulated. Their main decision would be to try out with a few bucks when they've got some cash available.

So your idea, Uneng, on trying to change the ideas or the minds of these victims would be difficult, but achievable through patience and determination. It's all a long-term goal. Look around the internet, there've been recently some complaints flying around about the streamers not being trustworthy and using their affiliation with the casino to deceive viewers. These people who now complain don't have a base. Where they can be laying such complaints. Hence setting up such a platform wouldn't cost much as they're just floating around looking for where to reside and communicate with other people wearing similar shoes. No way the streamers would be able to deceive all the people all the time. However, some of the people can be deceived all the time. These people that can be deceived all the time are the target of the streamers, and those people will fight you for trying to say that the streamers are meddling with their emotions.
1213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? on: December 28, 2023, 07:18:49 AM
In my opinion,  the more time one decides to spend on gambling, the more money they lose. For example, if I spend like one hour gambling and another gambler spends like six hours gambling, which one of us do you think will spend more money?

So the question again is: how many hours do you gamblers think are more appropriate to spend while gambling?
It's not a general rule. A gambler can play for the whole day with a limited budget, placing low base bets, growing their budget slowly, if they are lucky on that respective day. Meanwhile, another gamble can spend a fortune in a short gambling session of few minutes by placing huge base bets or increasing them a lot on each loss.

I've seen gamblers spending about 20,000$ in a 10 minutes gambling session at online casino. And on the other hand, I've also seen gamblers doing bankroll management (5% daily profit) during long sessions of 2 hours with few bucks. And what it's more curious and interesting yet is that probably the guy playing with few bucks had more fun than the other who played with thousands, because he was playing with a purpose, while the other was just killing some time without any planning at all.

You can play as many hours as you wish, just make sure you aren't neglecting another activities and responsabilities of your daily routine, neither spending money you can't afford to lose in gambling. There are days we are too stressed and just want to have some good time, so if you picked gambling with that objective in mind, I see no issues if you gamble the whole day, since you it was a planned, rational decision which won't prejudice your finances as consequence.

You are right, the time interval doesn't matter, in a minute one can wager lots of money, in anticipation of earning big. While some other person would maintain their discipline and enjoy the process with little amount. It's certain to say that the person who managed his money played for fun, but we may not know what's actually in the mind of the high roller who spent all the money in a few minutes. He may end up happy if he wins the bet, but somehow would feel the loss, especially when the amount is too much for him. Some people wouldn't feel it losing such an amount in a few minutes. But, this type of gambler, is mostly an addict. They don't want to waste a single time in the casino. They just want to wager all their money and go if the result isn't favorable to them. The attitude is mostly void and affects them financially, and they may not be able to pay for other bills.

While there may be few people who practice this type of gambling, we can't exaggerate the rate at which people would win for spending more time or less time gambling. It's mainly on luck, the big roller can win immediately, a whopping amount of money. All that is needed of the players is to spend their money and leave immediately. The amount they'll win or lose for the time spent in the casino can't be detected or calculated. That's why Op's question may not have an accurate answer. Gamblers differ, and all sorts of people around the globe gamble, each with a different purpose and reason why they have chosen to gamble. No appropriate hour for gambling, I think a human is expected to get tired after spending at least 6 hours on his computer screen. So, if a player wants to spend his whole leisure on gambling, he only needs to plan his money and wager according to what he's got. But another gambler who is not comfortable or can't control himself for a while will have no other option than to spend all his money at once.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: December 28, 2023, 06:59:11 AM
If ever the government will ban gambling, people who want to gamble will eventually find a way to access gambling sites and casinos. They will just be creative in accessing those without the authorities ever finding out about it. People are stubborn especially if they are really that interested and hooked up in betting and playing, they will find ways regardless. It's not as if it will really solve the problem by prohibiting people,  it could only be a band-aid solution while the dependency in addiction haven't been addressed yet.

Indeed, gambling is someone's responsibility and not anyone else's. If they don't want to suffer the consequences, then they must do themselves a favor of not spending too much time and money in it. Addiction doesn't just occur instantly, it is a bad habit built over time. So staying away and choosing yourself  and your sanity will  save you from it. Limiting the engagement by not feeding your thirst to it will prevent you from being addicted. 
With today's easy Internet access, people will easily find casino sites where they can continue gambling if offline casinos where they live are prohibited from operating. By gambling at online casinos, it makes them free to access casino sites anywhere outside their country and no one will know they are still gambling at online casinos. It also won't reduce their time gambling and can actually increase their gambling time because gambling at an online casino means they can gamble wherever they want.

But if someone can have good responsibility in gambling, he will not gamble too often and even though he can gamble at online casinos, he will still limit his gambling activities because he knows that gambling more often will only cause problems for him. They don't want to get into trouble just because they gamble too often so they really control their gambling game. They will also look for other activities that can help them divert their attention from gambling so that they will not become addicted to gambling.

The world can't ban gambling, hence some countries that don't allow gambling, maybe for the sake of their citizens' mental health, may have not done themselves a great favor. Because as you said, they'll gamble in other countries using VPN and other apps that can help hide their IP address. The government may not be able to control the problem of gamblers using the ban as a threat. They need to devise other methods and try them out. Maybe promoting the importance of gambling and removing the bad thoughts people have about gambling. A man is what he thinks. If a gambler is worried about being addicted he won't be able to escape it easily as he only thinks of addiction. Hence to be on the safe side, gamblers need to have nice thoughts about gambling and how it can help society. People think gambling has no economic importance, but it's quite very great in helping the economy of some countries in the world.

Other than that, if responsible gambling is promoted enough, players won't be getting addicted. A gambler needs to avoid spending too much time in gambling. One must understand the body system and how it may react to gambling addiction. The goal is mainly, to enjoy the habit, not having a bad memory about the gambling habit. In terms of diverting to activities that'll help the gambler avoid gambling addiction, the gambler may not be able to achieve it on his own. However, it depends on the level of the player's addiction to gambling. Those who are still a bit in control of their actions and don't feel comfortable being addicted to gambling can do it themselves and change gradually. Even though they won't stop immediately, at least it helps in building back the emotions of the gambler to stay strongly in control of his actions. That's why the gambler who doesn't notice earlier his outstanding deficiencies in gambling can have a hard time diverting his addiction to something else.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: December 28, 2023, 06:30:25 AM
Defeat is never fun for you. The taste of defeat is always bitter because everyone wants to win and no one wants to lose. Winning at gambling will boost your self-confidence and losing at gambling will create resentment towards your gambling skills and luck. Gamblers are such that they want to gamble even if they win by gambling and they want to win even if they lose money by gambling win or lose both these things attract a gambler to gamble. The reason we say that we should take gambling as fun is so that gamblers do not become addicted to gambling. If a gambler can gamble without becoming addicted to gambling then he can enjoy gambling.
Experiencing loss is unpleasant and no one wants it. But that's what happens in gambling games. If he doesn't want to experience loss and lose his money, he doesn't need to gamble.

Losses will occur in gambling, while wins will rarely be obtained. That is why gamblers must understand that they really have to control themselves so as not to lose a lot. Only that way, he could limit the number of losses he lost.

It's okay to experience loss. The most important thing is that you can enjoy the gambling game and have fun, even if you lose. One day, you will be able to win and as long as you can limit your gambling, that is enough to experience the game of gambling.

With the rate increase of losses rather than winning in the gambling niche, gamblers need to take it as a fun game, not to get angered by it, and refrain from what isn't acceptable to their mental health. Losing money is not conducive, yes, and nobody would be happy to run broke, due to gambling. Hence, a gambler should control his urge to win as happiness. Because he'd only get angry when he's faced with losses. Gamblers who see gambling as a fun game are only working on stabilizing their mental health. While those who feel sad about losing money, may not sustain the enormous sadness, they'll embrace in gambling. It's better to gamble for the fun and trace other importance of gambling. I don't think people can only learn how to win money in gambling. It's a game of growth and it teaches how to increase our budgets when in business. For instance, those who use the Martingale method, try to master the aspect of investment where a person would increase his investment, when losing expecting a huge win.

But gamblers who follow this strategy, forget that while gambling isn't an investment, they need to learn through it and then apply it in the real life investment. Yet, some gamblers don't operate like that, they see gambling as an investment, then later on tag the Martingale method as a risky gambling strategy. Gambling has no strategy. Every strategy is mainly for learning, which is fun. No one should care about the wins or losses of other people, the goal is to focus on what gambling has to teach us. By applying the moves we make in gambling in our daily lives, the gambler wouldn't have the challenges of worrying about his losses. Everything would look to him as a win, especially, when the main win comes in his business. That's why most men still gamble, and never get addicted or feel the problem other games face each day through gambling.
1216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: December 28, 2023, 06:06:52 AM
But we can't deny the fact that some gamblers are doing this to earn profit, not for just entertainment only, right? Majority of gamblers here in forum has the same thought like mine because I also got to the point where I tried to gamble to earn extra money but somehow I managed to stop myself from leading to gambling addiction. Tbh I've actually gambling for now when I have spare time and I want extra challenging game but still I have and know my limits.
Yes, that's true because many of them want to win from gambling so they forget to manage their money well. Maybe they can manage it at the beginning of their gambling, but after gambling for a while, they see an opportunity to win, so they decide to place a bigger bet than before. But it turns out that it doesn't give them the win they want, and that makes them curious, so they still use the same betting amount, but again, they lose. The more often they lose, their curiosity will grow and make them eager to win. That's what makes many people addicted to gambling and if you can still control yourself well, you still have to practice it and never underestimate it. Gambling can tempt us in many ways so we have to be careful.

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.
1217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: December 28, 2023, 05:46:47 AM
Firstly I will not judge someone's mental health from their appearance this common saying don't judge a book by the cover so don't judge from the look first, when I read the story I was expecting the part when you will say he fought or harassed someone in the casino shop but you never mentioned so how is this person mentally unstable?, I know of a man in my locality he always appears as a mad man but he is normal and strangers usually mistake him as a mad man, in my opinion if he's not causing any harm or threat then he's allowed to gamble, there's no law as such in a local casino shop but still some people will refuse to attend to someone dressed like that.

Sometimes people are judge due to their poor physical appearance. However, this is gambling, appearance is not important there as no matter how you look, at long as you have the money to play, you are very much welcome.

There are people who are consistent in going in a gambling shop and actually they are the biggest contributors of the profit of a casino as those who are rich are very smart in managing their money, they just gambling occasionally and they have control to just bet based on limit. These small time gamblers usually makes mistakes, they go aggressive and sometimes they'll end up borrowing because they go beyond their budget.

Some rich gamblers who are disciplined can manage their money, but not all. Similarly the low rollers. Most often people would qualify rich and low rollers by appearance. Not knowing that people are different in terms of gambling. It all matters in the mind of the gambler, what he's about to do with his time in the casino. The appearance doesn't matter, the attitude does. That's why people are encouraged to focus on the purpose that led them to the casino house or whatever gambling shop they find themselves in. It'll also help the gambler to think well on his next gambling moves. Any gambler who is educated on the ethics and disciplines required in gambling doesn't need to fear losing his budget or going to borrow money to fulfill his gambling goals. However, you'd notice that not all gamblers have this knowledge, regardless of the class they belong to. We, gamblers, need to decide on a routine and keep by it, plan according to our earnings and profits, and do what should yield some profits for us, gamblers.

It's been quite a long time since society never wanted gambling addicts, hence no one should be encouraged to make similar mistakes as those who ended up addicted. No one has been known as gambling proof, some who appear responsible can end up addicted and the player who doesn't dress well, and looks dirty, may end up escaping addiction. In the history of gambling as a journey, addiction should be the most concern, for both parties, the rich and low rollers. Because none among them would be able to survive it easily. Addiction is the main mental illness or disorder, which we should be worried or cautious about when gambling, instead of looking at clothes. When a gambler begins to get aggressive he'll need to watch his finances or seek help, don't know if this only happens to the low rollers, I think the high rollers also experience the problem of wagering too much and losing out, which leads to transfer of aggression.
1218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: December 27, 2023, 09:09:33 PM
There is nothing loneliness can not do, it can make us to do undo and involve ourselves in something that is not going to affect us positively in the future. We need to make sure that we deal with loneliness and involve ourselves in something that is profitable so that we are not going to become desperate or do things without thorough thinking. We can involve ourselves in so many things to make sure that we are not lonely so that we don't ignorantly involve ourselves with something that is going to cause problem for us in the future.
Loneliness is very serious. I think if a person thinks that he is thinking about loneliness too much then he will be very weak mentally. There are some people who sometimes take up some bad addictions from gambling to other to relieve loneliness.  Gets involved in their own ignorance. After getting involved in this kind of addiction, they have to face many problems to get out of it. Loneliness makes a person very weak and can also ruin his life.

Loneliness requires some other tasks to deal with, and those who are not sure of what to do would try gambling. Since it can offer some wins to the player. Most addicts are into the problem because they're not with anybody who can keep them company. So, if the person is not sure about the effect of gambling in their life, they can think of trying something else, to stay on the safe side. The games we enjoy in gambling can keep us busy, but gambling may not be the right way to resolve loneliness unless it's physical casinos. The gambler will be able to meet up with some other people whom he can interact with and also get a few orientations on strategies to avoid addiction. It's not simple to get over loneliness, especially when heartbroken. Not having a person to talk to about our gambling problems if one erupts, can lead the gambler to a more severe gambling addiction. Which can affect the future of the gambler. However, anxiety is not good for a lonely person.

How would he be comfortable losing money each day, in gambling? In many occurrences, the addict always gives thanks to someone who was so dear in eradicating their problem gambling. As they can't do it alone, the gambler, added with anxiety may not be able to restrict himself from gambling addiction. Like in the case of Op's friend who has lost his partner, many other factors like the loss of a loved one, can lead a person to addiction. I think gamblers should have some close friends, visiting them wouldn't be a problem. But loneliness has eaten deep into their brain, to the extent of loving it and being uncomfortable with people who tend to visit them or send them an invite to visit their party or social gathering. The problems they end up becoming victims can be solved by their family members. Because only a few parents wouldn't try to help their child who is suffering from chronic gambling addiction.
1219  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 27, 2023, 08:43:02 PM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.

It is very clear to see bro, when you risk more money, you’re on a verge of having a better profit than a poor person that can risk a little. One thing with the rich people again is that, when they fail in this games, they inject bigger money in games that they are sure of winning to recover all of their loss funds easily. Gambling is a game for the smart ones and the rich ones are more smarter in this case than the poor.
The most reasonable reason is that they want to make money quickly even though that will not happen as expected in gambling. People who don't have a lot of money and pin their hopes on gambling will only be disappointed, especially if they use the money that should be used to meet their needs. Rich people have a lot of money, which means they can gamble with any amount of money they want, and of course, they can also place bets with any amount of money. This is something people who don't have a lot of money can't do. They will only bet with sufficient amounts of money, and although they can still rely on luck, it may be difficult for them to win. And if people who don't have a lot of money lose and lose all their money, maybe they will borrow money from other people just to keep gambling and chasing wins. It is not recommended for all gamblers who don't have a lot of money because it will only speed up the process of losing money without being able to win.

The rich people need to remember that being smart in gambling has nothing to do with their riches. The low roller can have a better experience than the rich gambler, which means that he may still win more in gambling. It doesn't matter if a gambler is rich or not. He needs to be careful with his bankroll and gambling responsibility, not to run out of all his profits. Why the rich only move better than the poor in gambling, is the need for high wagers to win bigger amounts while gambling. It all matters, the motive of the gambler and how disciplined he is about managing his gambling lifestyle. If gambling was mainly about the rich winning huge amounts of money, all rich folks would be gambling by now. The risk involved in gambling can affect the riches of the gambler, however, not sure, but could get the rich person broke and less focused on doing his daily tasks or being productive in his businesses.

That's why most of them despite the huge win opportunity made available for the rich, still need to be intelligent on constructive means of analyzing their games and minimizing losses either through wagering small funds or limiting the time spent gambling. The low rollers also win big amounts of money, with their little money. They could make good predictions and manage their ways of gambling. However, everyone needs to stay clear of being addicted to gambling. Rich or poor. Because any of them could be the victim of what you just explained above. Borrowing money and chasing loss. For a rich man to go broke via gambling, can be more difficult compared to a low roller. The rich have managers and close people who can monitor their moves so as not to get addicted and wager all their wealth through gambling. Such problems don't know about the status of the gambler, chasing loss.

I know for sure that if we take periodic account of how many times that we gamble, maybe weekly, monthly or yearly, we'll find out that the loses are far greater than the winnings, so I sometimes wonder how we can be indulging in something that we lose far more than we gain, in the name of having fun.
Do you ask yourself the same thing when you spend money drinking, eating out, hanging around with friends, purchasing fancy accessories you really don't need as basic need and so on? Does it worth to spend money with all these things in name of fun? I think so. Money exists to serve us, and not the opposite. We need money for our basic needs and appointments, but also for our pleasure and satisfaction. If gambling gives you pleasure and satisfaction, it's not an issue if you are losing more money than winning on long run.

Some people weight the pros and cons and still conclude gambling is suitable for them, as they don't feel too attracted by another hobbies people use to enjoy. So let them be happy gambling. It's definitely not a lie to say people gamble for fun, although it depends on which kind of person we are talking about. If the gambler is playing avid for profits, it will be a lie if he says he is gambling for fun, but there are other gamblers who really play for fun. They don't begin their gambling session with fixed goals in mind to be achieved. They let it happen naturally and if it doesn't, they go home peacefully, hoping to have a better luck next day.

Gambling for fun shouldn't be considered a lie, because it's true that gambling can offer us some fun. Same way other utilities make us happy and put us in a good mood. The only pain and difference is that gamblers think money going into gambling is a waste. But, lots of opportunities follow the practice. Gambling is more fun to society and offers players a better lifestyle if they handle their emotions and neglect the aim of earning lots of money through gambling. Those are only a few rewards and must be expected to appear luckily. If we have looked into the process and discovered that the winning and losses don't match, the first mentioned happens less than the later. Those who play strictly for fun don't feel regret and also know the importance of gambling and how it works. The goal of gamblers is to understand the hidden treasures in gambling. How it helps our brain to grow or fail, depends on the thoughts of the player. If he's interested in money his brain could fail him and endanger his future gambling journey. Which is not the right journey for any gambler.

But, those who see the relevant aspect of gambling, will make a fortune out through it, by diverting the ideas gotten through gambling to solve real-life problems. If a player is observant of the results and actions he takes in gambling, he won't have a hard time making the right decisions in life. When a gambler only focuses on money, his only motive would be headed for the big money, and he'll lose out on other important skills one could derive from gambling. This delivers fun to the player, since he's not concerned about money, that only swings the mode of the gambler, especially when he has lost money. Gamblers only need to follow the right choice or lane in gambling that will help improve their view on gambling. Not minding the bad review society points at gambling. It still offers some good qualities and changes in the life of most gamblers.
