You are watching streamers just like how it was intended which is correct way of doing it. Many people are doubtful because they are venting their stress on their personal losses to streamers that winning and called it unfair while this streamers lose a lot too probably not recorded.

Streamers should be watch for entertainment purposes only and not a role model on gambling because everyone has different result due to luck is random same with the slot games result.
That's why when we watch streamers playing slots, we don't need to take it too seriously. Anything can happen, including what we will experience in gambling games. We can't hope too much to get a big win like the streamer experienced. We are different from those streamers in that we also need to control spending money on gambling. Moreover, we also don't know whether the money used by the streamer is his own money or the money given by the casino so he can make videos of his slot games to attract people to visit his casino.

Yes, agree with you to just watch the streamer without any feelings. We just need to enjoy the slot game without being affected. If other people are affected, let them be because we have to be responsible with the money we use for gambling.
1222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: November 19, 2023, 11:46:10 PM
As gamblers if we don't let the game take control of us we won't be carried away to still stay and gamble despite after having a win that has multiplied our money. If we all can exercise the hit and run approach as gamblers the issue of losses will be a thing of the past but a lot of gambler get greed with each winning they want another, and then another, forgetting that luck is not constant and with each chance you have it at your side you gat to use the hit and run approach because you can't win all the money you're aiming for  in one day.
But what happens is that people let gambling games dominate their minds, and it makes them return to gambling more often than before. They forget the self-control they have exercised and do not realize that they have lost that self-control. They just want to recover the losses they have made from gambling or win another big win even though they have already had that big win before. They also don't realize that they need to rest first before they continue gambling again. As gamblers, we can learn from other people's experiences, which can increase our insight into controlling ourselves so that we don't get involved in gambling because only we can restore our awareness that gambling is just entertainment.
1223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 19, 2023, 11:18:22 PM
I don't lose often but I can explain their motivation. They lost so much that they feel like this can't go on forever, just like if you get fired from a job, you look for another one, get fired, but that doesn't stop you. You want to keep going because there's a chance that next one is going to be great.
It's the same with women. You get rejected, but you keep going, they can't all keep rejecting you forever, right? .... RIGHT? Cheesy
Most people who get into a streak also don't resign thinking this has to end and turn around.
What you said is true. It's like an addiction for those who don't want to give up. But this is different because they are dealing with gambling, where when they are addicted to gambling, it will be very dangerous for them. After all, they will use all their money to fulfil their ego's desires. They will not want to reduce their gambling activities because they are already addicted to gambling, even though they already know that they are addicted to gambling. Their lack of recognition from others makes it difficult for others to help them. Maybe they only need to wait for something big and bad to happen to them before they can truly realize that they have gone too deep into gambling and have even become addicted to gambling.

Being open is not that easy but I agree that if they will tell the truth and ask for a help, I’m sure your family can help you and even the community might find a way to help you recover. Let’s also avoid to criticized those gamblers who become addict, we should help them instead because their life is at risk and we might lose them without even trying to help them. Being addict is not easy, and if you are already in this situation better to start seeking help and start your recovery.
At least, being open to a few people about his gambling addiction can give him hope that he can find the solution he should use. He can ask for help from other people to help him find the right solution so that he can reduce his gambling activities first or immediately cure his gambling addiction if he already has a gambling addiction. Some suggested and took him to a community that had successfully cured him of gambling addiction so that he could learn from them and get his motivation from the experiences they shared. By paying attention to the progress of those who are trying to cure themselves of gambling addiction, enthusiasm will begin to grow within them so that they will not experience difficulty in undergoing any therapy process.
1225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Casinos with Online and Offline version, Are they the same? on: November 19, 2023, 10:31:00 PM
If you have the option and are involved in frequent and substantial financial transactions, offline casinos might be a more suitable choice. For online casinos, the selection of the platform is crucial. In most online platforms, you might find that there are no limits to how much you can lose, but winning even slightly more can bring about various issues and obstacles
There might be a big reason why the site is different when its offline and I’m wondering how can you gamble with crypto in an offline set-up but if its a physical casinos then it make sense to me. Offline casinos are also not safe from any scams so make sure you are dealing with the best option to gamble. There might be no limit in winning and losing money but then again, you should always gamble within your own limit to avoid further losses and being broke.
That may be because there are regulations in each place, which means that offline casinos must always follow and comply with the regulations made by the regulator. If the casino doesn't do so, regulators can punish it with huge penalties or fines. Meanwhile, for online, the settings may depend on where they register their domain name. There may be many other reasons that we don't know for sure, especially since they won't reveal it to the public because it is part of the company's secrets. With such things, people who switch from offline casinos to online casinos will still see the online casino as a trusted casino because the casino has already gained popularity offline. Meanwhile, the online presence gets the record of being a shady casino.

The issue is mainly recurrent issues, like being left behind as kids, not being attended to when they wanted something as a child. If they can be turned to believe that they're good enough, showing them, their idea matters etc. The gambler's sense of good humor will be restored. These are the few things that makes therapy easy for both the client and the therapist. In the sense that if the gambler who wants to quit is not allowed to express properly his feelings. He won't have a close relationship with the therapist. Also the therapist must also make effective responses to the ideas of the client. To make the client feel belonged and also open a space in his heart to see the therapist as his friend. Once this is achieved the whole process of changing a gambler gets simpler. If his family is caring enough to follow him to his therapy sessions it'll be a good move. Just to be sure he's going there. But, it's still rare to find such a caring home. Most families barely care about being this kind. And it worsens the gambler's situation. It also gets worse when the therapist doesn't know the right question and answers that'll bring the gambler to trust him with their problems. And open up to discuss further about how it all began. But, if he's lucky enough to find one that asks contributing questions that can change the perspective of the gambler to a better one. Then, the gambler will do his best to change and become a better person for his family and friends.
When a therapist can make a gambling addict feel something different from undergoing a healing session, maybe slowly, there will be changes in the gambling addict so that they will feel that what they are currently doing is working and making a difference, even though it is not very significant. The therapist also needs to grow the self-confidence of the gambling addict so that he can see that everyone has a second chance, which must be used well so that when he starts undergoing therapy sessions, he can feel that the second chance has started to come to him. He must use it as well as possible. -good. With the support of his family, who continues to accompany him throughout the therapy process, it is what can give him new enthusiasm to be able to quit gambling forever. He could also see genuine concern from everyone who helped him through the therapy sessions, and if he had questions, he would ask someone who understood and would get the answers. He could feel the sincere and warm love of his family waiting for him to return home.

If the friends had reach you to free food after the big win news is acceptable,but if they use you like atm means it will be the biggest trouble for the winner.Some experienced gambler sometimes make the spread of fake win news to the co gambler to get the free food by saying they will help after getting of the winning dollars from the gambling site.So the two types of the gambler was using the same situation.The majority of the gambler will hide the win from their friends to avoid of the trouble because their friends use them for the expenses.The family members like brother and sister itself demand of the loan to the gambler after come to know about their win from the gambling sites.
And it has become a habit for people to ask for things from the winners even though things like that sometimes become annoying for the winners. They can't enjoy their winnings in peace, but there will be people who come to them to say congratulations. However, there is something they want. That's why gamblers who win a lot of money ask their casinos not to reveal the identities of the winners or publish them to the public to avoid things like that. They also want to protect their privacy from interference from people they don't know so they can enjoy their winnings in peace.

1228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 19, 2023, 05:42:50 PM
^

I am not sure that by copying other people's bets you can significantly improve your prediction skills. For a beginner, copying the bets of successful bettors is an acceptable strategy, but in time you will still want to use your own predictions as there is nothing better than enjoying your own success. To achieve this you need to spend a lot of time and money. In fact, earning money on betting is quite a complex occupation, which requires from you a huge desire to learn and improve yourself.
Copying other people's bets does not improve our prediction skills. But if we can analyze the bets we want to place and continuously practice them, it can improve our analytical skills. Not copying other people's bets can improve our analytical skills. I apologize if it makes you confused.

A beginner may be looking for a quick way to immediately place a bet without needing to analyze it first. So he will copy other people's bets without doing his own analysis. If he does not learn analytical skills or seek information from other sources and relies on copying other people's bets, he is taking his own risk. But that's also up to him.

~snip~
You have a very right choice because you decided not to fund anyone to gamble because there are many bad impacts in the long term and most often, for example, if you fund a friend or anyone you know too often, it will make their mind get used to asking you for help and Another impact is that you will lose a friend when you refuse to fund it.
This happens very often and you have a very wise way to continue funding yourself without having to fund other people.
Once we fund them, they will come back to us and ask us to fund them again. By funding them, at least it has given them the opportunity to think that we can be a place to ask for money to fund their gambling. We must be able to refuse those who want to ask us to fund their gambling because, after all, it is not good for them or us because money problems can make everything bad, especially if the money is used for gambling. It is better for us to fund ourselves than to fund others. At least we can be responsible in gambling, and we will also gamble only with the money we can afford so that we will not gamble excessively.

If a gambling addict can tell the truth about his gambling addiction, maybe it can make it easier for the people around him to start helping him. I don't really know anyone who has become a gambling addict, but I heard stories from my neighbours that there is someone in our neighbourhood who has started to become addicted to gambling. My other neighbours often see him gambling using his phone when he is not doing anything. So far, we have known him as someone who is good and never does anything out of the ordinary for the people around us. But I don't know the truth and don't want to find out at this time because there have been no complaints from his family saying that he was addicted to gambling.
1231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamer wins seem too good on: November 19, 2023, 04:26:46 PM
I once watched a local streamer playing slots. In that slot game, he played Gates of Olympus and managed to win a lot of money. But they have had several big wins in a row, which has amazed people who watch the broadcast because it is very rare for someone to get several big wins in a row. But we also don't know whether the big win was purely due to luck or whether it was arranged in such a way to impress the audience. But that didn't have any impact on me because I knew if it was because of his luck, we shouldn't be jealous. After all, our luck with him would be different. We will not be able to achieve what he has achieved and vice versa. So it's better for us to enjoy what we see and not be influenced or we will be in danger.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you bet on when your league is in break? on: November 19, 2023, 04:00:41 PM
~snip~
It seems that almost the average gambler is looking for other alternative games to get entertainment. like you who return to slot games, some gamblers may not like games like that. but I prefer to bet on other parts of the league I follow on a break.
Even though I don't understand the competing teams, I just bet randomly by luck. of course, it's not a big bet. Betting on UFC matches is also interesting for me. Apart from football betting, I also bet on UFC matches.
Well, I think that's normal because if a gambler gambles too often, they won't want to stop their gambling activities just because their favorite league is on break. They will look for other things that can interest them while waiting for the league to return. And playing slots is something I do to fill that void. So far, it has been going well, but I also often rest and don't play slots, especially when I don't have money hahaha.

I still often lose by betting randomly, but even so, I still occasionally place bets on other sports. It's about how we use our free time while we wait for the league to come back online.

~snip~
That's one of the best strategies, do nothing.
I've seen some sports gamblers who try to force it by betting on different leagues if their preferred game is on hiatus. I cannot blame them though as they are looking for entertainment and maybe they also don't want to play casino games because of the house edge.
I mean, it's always been sports betting who has the higher percentage to win a bet especially if you know the game you are betting for.

Thankfully, the NBA and WNBA are next to each other when the other is on hiatus that's why I still have some games I can bet on whenever the other is on rest.
And, although WNBA is a women's game I've been watching it since I was a kid at the time of Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker's early career.
When I rest, I try to fill my free time by doing other things. Although I still play slots, it's rare because it's just entertainment if I really want to gamble. And because I don't gamble very often, I also don't force myself to gamble. The last time I forced myself to gamble was when I came home from travelling and had time to rest. I used it to play slots and place bets on football, but I had no luck at all and lost the money in both gambling games. But that's okay. That's a gambling game that can give you wins but more often gives you losses.

NO

My personal experience this year has not been very good because I have experienced more defeats. But it was a loss I could accept. Even though it was a loss that didn't amount to hundreds of dollars, it was quite a loss for me. It makes me want to reduce the amount of losses again next year, and I hope I can actually reduce it even if it is only down by a few tens of dollars.

It is very difficult to break even in gambling because we can lose more than we win. And it's normal if you still can't reach that break-even point. All you need to do is stay within limits and only gamble with money you can afford. Don't chase if you have won. Always manage the use of the money. The rest, leave it to your luck and your skills.
1234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you bet on when your league is in break? on: November 18, 2023, 09:17:23 PM
If the league I follow is on break, I will also rest for some time. But sometimes, I still gamble on other games because it's just to fill my free time while waiting for my league to start its new session. But other times, if I see a team that I know is playing against another team that I also know, I may try to analyze it. And if I can find more clues, I'll place a bet to try to see the results of my analysis. But it only bets moderately and will not try to chase wins or recover losses. I might also return to slot games for a while to find entertainment in my spare time.
1235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most important thing in a betting site on: November 18, 2023, 06:09:00 PM
If a betting site makes a lot of excuses to delay withdrawals, that is a sign that we should immediately step aside and leave the betting site because it is not the betting site we are looking for. There are still many betting sites that will be quick if a gambler wants to withdraw their winnings even though the winning gamblers have followed all the procedures implemented by the betting site. If the winning gambler has followed the requirements, there is no reason for the betting site to delay processing the withdrawal of their winnings. That is if the betting site wants to become a betting site that is trusted by many gamblers. But if not, the betting site will only lose its gamblers because they will all move to other betting sites.

Yes of course, that is the problem, if their lies are found out by their friends through other people then it is clear as you say that surely their friends will be hurt because they have been lied to, it will greatly affect their friendship, at least there will be a little conflict and their friends will definitely stay away from them. Therefore the better thing to do in such conditions is better to just be honest about your winnings, it doesn't matter and the most important thing is that you also have to tell about everything, especially with your condition which at that time really needed money for personal needs, I think if his friend has heard your story then at least they will also definitely understand about your condition, and after that maybe you can chat with them that you can only give or share a small amount of your winnings, as I said that I think that's the only better way.

It's true buddy, building social relationships with anyone is good and we must be able to maintain these relationships so that they remain good - fine, nothing other than that just to keep so that there are no problems behind the scenes between us and them, and also if we experience problems like this then I think this is not a big problem if we have a good relationship with them.
It hurts his friends so much when they already know that you lied to them and that they will probably reject our presence if we visit them. Telling us what happened will give them real information without going through other people they don't know closely, and the information provided may be supplemented with other things, such as incitement. It will worsen our relationships with our friends. Telling the truth is a better way to avoid misunderstandings between them and us. I am sure they will understand the conditions and situation and will not ask for anything. Instead, they will help us. That is the figure of a true friend who is always there in joy and sorrow. We might find it difficult to find a friend like that.

And if one day we are experiencing problems and tell our friends about it, they will definitely give us support and help. They will not let us experience these problems alone because they are always there for us and vice versa. That's the truth about friendship, which is now difficult to find.

There's a rehabilitation center for those addicted to every thing especially drugs and gambling related addiction, It is helpful to a person who don't have a family to take care of them and You're right! If a person is willing to get better, He will put his best to avoid every thing that may affects him to become obsess in a thing. It's easy to be said but we can't say that in order to become responsible gambler, people should learn to have a self control but in reality, once you're in the situation, You can't control it.
But help and support from the family is really needed by gambling and drug addicts because from there, they can see that their family will always be there for them and want to accompany them during their recovery period. Those who are addicted to gambling and drugs will also have the enthusiasm to continue to persevere during their recovery period, so perhaps this will speed up the therapy process because the addicted person will see that they have the opportunity to cure their addiction. They will not doubt themselves and can change things for the better. That is why the presence of his family can add to his enthusiasm for life because he sees that his family always accompanies him during therapy sessions and waits for him outside after he finishes his therapy period.

When it comes to gambling, there are people who are very good in predicting games and ate always lucky with their predictions which most people do copy from them since they're are serial winners but that doesn't mean that everybody must copy whoever that's believed to be lucky in their gambling predictions.
There are some set of gamblers who will never want to copy from anyone no matter how lucky he's perceived to be. They believe in whatever predictions that comes to their mind and stick to theirs instead of copying from another gambler.
Unfortunately, those of us who don't know who these people are just pick randomly from the list of people who have placed bets. But if we can note who the people who bet frequently are and pay attention to how much they win, maybe we can find people whose bets we can copy. That will increase our chances of winning, although that will not always happen due to various factors in sports betting. That's why we have to be able to analyze every match that will take place so that we can find a team that has the potential to win. We can also improve our analytical skills so that it will improve our analysis, which may not be very accurate.

Setting limits and having a clear budget can help us avoid making impulsive decisions or chasing losses. Even if one have a lot of skill and strategy, there is need to remember that gambling is always a risk, and you should never gamble more than you can afford to lose. However, the problem here is not about setting limit or budget but keeping to this budget you set has always been the problem with gamblers and it doesn't matter whether you're winning or losing. If you are winning, the joy and the spirit of that winning will push you to play more and if you are losing, you will play to likely recover the losses and before you realize, you have exceed your limits. Self control is actually the key here thou it's not easy to do but one must learn how to control themselves in order to become a successful gambler.
Setting limits and having a budget for gambling is a necessity that we need to prepare before starting to gamble so that we will not lose a lot of money gambling because we only use gambling as entertainment. That means we should treat gambling as it should be and not gamble excessively so that we won't lose a lot of money. If your self-control is good, you will not violate or exceed the limits that you have set because if you exceed them, it means that the budget that you have prepared will change, and maybe you will have to deposit some more money to bet and that will have exceeded your gambling budget. There are still many gamblers who do this because they get so much pleasure from gambling that they forget to control themselves. That's why we have to continue to practice self-control so that we won't be tempted by anything, and we can also control spending money on gambling.

Well, in slots things can be very different, personally I always like to bet little, and if for the same reason, it is so that I can play for longer, because that way it is more enjoyable, I have always done it that way and when I feel, or think I can win, I increase the bet only once, that's why I like betting in manual mode because that's how I can enjoy it more and I can do everything I want, then if I run out of money until then I'll leave it, this for me is my strategy in the slots, of course everything becomes exciting when you win some free spins, it's to enjoy more, whenever that happens to me the game stops, I don't know at that moment the capabilities of gnar decrease, however I like how the slots are because at least they entertain me a lot, and of course I like to play it as God intended, with its music, eating something there, don't worry because it's my time, that's when I enjoy doing it This is what I always look for, there is no other place where more things can be done.

There are people who have their own strategy and can play as they want, because each person is free to do things so that they can generate a better game. I am a person who has not been playing slots for many years, I only stick to what I can achieve. and do to generate fun, because unlike many, I do not seek to win in the slots, because I know that to pursue profits in a slots is quite difficult, it is not possible because slots is a game that is entirely levao to the level of Luck depends a lot on that, do you have strategies here in the slots? Yes, there are many, but none of them are infallible, the events in the slots are very different for each person, with each play things go to another level, I am one of those who look for many strategies, I have them there, but to apply them You need a lot of money, and that's something that some people probably already know, but that's how the game of sltos is.
I also like placing bets with small amounts of money because it allows me to bet for a certain time, and I can enjoy my free time gambling more and spend as much money as I can afford. I never thought about winning because I already knew it was very difficult, especially since this is a slot game where slot games really require luck to be able to win, let alone get a big multiplier. I like using manual mode, but I also like using automatic mode because it saves me the effort of pressing the button, and I can enjoy the rotating images while waiting to see what will come out and how much I can win or lose. Yes, if we can get free spins several times, it can increase our winnings, but unfortunately, we need luck to be able to get the free spins. Instead of hoping too much to get free spins or big multipliers, we should enjoy our free time by just looking at the pictures that will come out.

Everyone is free to use their strategies when playing gambling, especially in slot games, because maybe they think that using different strategies can increase their luck so they can win a lot of money. But that can't always happen because, in slot games, we really need luck, so we can't use the strategy well. Maybe it can work in other gambling games, so we need to have many different strategies that we can use depending on the situation we are experiencing at that time. We know that getting a win in slot games is very difficult, and no matter how much money we use to bet, we still can't win big. Instead of taking too big a risk, we should bet on the amount of money we can afford so that we can reduce the amount of losses.
