1281  Economy / Gambling / Re: Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired? on: December 23, 2023, 02:50:25 PM
Only the internal workers would know about the money generated by a casino. Don't think that we gamblers need to be worried about that, as it's mainly not our concern. We are supposed to focus on the services the casino provides. If they don't give out quality services the gamblers can demand to know what's happening behind the scenes. But, for the financing, it's risky, because the hackers already are informed of the amount of money these casinos own, but reminding them could be dangerous to the casino. When hackers start seeing such a huge amount, it'll drag their interest to the casino. As it stands, hackers are trying on different casinos and the vulnerable ones could be hacked successfully. It would be disappointing to notice that after spending so much money to hack a casino site they won't be able to generate enough money to cover for the tools used in hacking. However, I know less about hacking, but sure that some of the requirements to hack a site demand money.

Hence, not all hackers would have the finance to execute a planned hack on a casino they're not aware of the amount of money they could steal from them. Just like in banks, thieves don't visit unless they're aware of the money available. Every casino has its hackers that help to protect them against attack, so the time frame to steal money from a casino may be less before their hackers can gain back power over the website. So, whatever means of stealing money on the internet is not easy and may not be worth the stress if enough information is not available. You can't assume that a particular department has money and move ahead to hack them. That's why they use social engineering to target staff who may be victims of information derivation.

Ok, let's consider the following hypothetical situation.
We have:
a) Mid-rank online casino (financial statements are “hidden”);
b) 3-5 wins in a very short period of time in the amount of $500K-1.5M each.
Our casino simply does not have such funds in operational circulation and it starts dancing with KYC/AML for the winners. I, as a winner, really want to get my winnings and try to fulfill the requirements presented to me by the casino as much as possible. However, each time the requirements change a little and are supplemented. As a result, we have that the winner cannot receive his winnings in an adequate time frame (or at all) because the casino does not have the funds to pay off all or at least one winner. But if the winners had information in advance about the lack of funds from the casino, then they would have taken (if they had taken at all) other steps to obtain a legitimate winning, and would not have tried to fulfill the humiliating demands of the casino every time. This is the reason why I believe that casinos should disclose their operational turnover.

Now I understand your point when you said a casino should disclose its operational turnover. I've seen some casinos that share all their winnings on a dashboard. Many complaints have been laid by gamblers across all platforms like this forum and review site of not getting paid after winning a huge amount of money. The casino seeks numerous documents or even accuses the gambler of breaking their terms of service. The question remains, why would a casino lock an account after the owner wins a jackpot close to the amount you mentioned? All the while they've been using the casino, the account wasn't locked for breaking rules, until the player won big. It's indeed a questionable occurrence, but you need to understand that some brand-new casinos won't be able to keep up with paying such big amounts to a winner, or else the casino will crumble. It's not simple to release close to a million dollars to a gambler who won using a few thousand dollars. Even when they do, the casino would want to milk from the publicity by hosting a TV show or online interview with the winner holding a large cheque.

The casino would use that means of advertisement to regain the money. That's why new casinos are not recommended for gamblers. Casinos that have proven the test of time can have the ability to pay out that amount of money because they've accumulated enough customers to be able to generate millions in one day. However, you wouldn't expect a casino to come out plain and inform gamblers that they've got no money to pay them. It sounds embarrassing and the casino would also run out of business. Hence, I don't see it as a good idea for a casino, to grow. In a nutshell, the casino should delay the payment for few more days, than bring up a series of blames on the gambler that will lead to not getting paid.
1282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 23, 2023, 10:53:04 AM
I don't think there is a "specific" type of gambling that's more addictive than the other. It really goes down to personal preferences and what triggers the gambling urge in an individual. But just like a drug addict might not be picky about their substance of choice, a gambling addict could be drawn to any form of gambling that's accessible to them. However, yeah, there are some types of gambling that are designed to be particularly "enticing". Look at the Slot machines. They often feature captivating sounds/music, and animations that create an exciting atmosphere for the gamblers. They also give players the illusion of "near-wins" and make them feel like they're just close to winning a big jackpot, encouraging them to keep playing.

The OP is not asking what specific game is more addictive but rather what specific game which is being played by most of the gambler. It’s very easy to determine this since casino games have different characteristics and you can easily spot which is the most popular upon every players due to its promotion in the casino.

I think everyone will agree that Slot games has the most number of players using it in daily basis compared to the rest of the casino games. Sportsbook is indeed popular but it’s not addictive due to its time of waiting for the result.

Slots is also the game which being market hard by the casino because they knew gamblers really like jackpot type game even with the use of small bet.

What you point out is correct. Most of the games that entertain gamblers over and over again are usually in the category of slot games, because there are many game choices in slot games that are relatively easy to win.

Even though I often play slot games, when you get lucky, you will be able to multiply the amount of your bet a lot. This has happened to me several times. Although I don't always hope to win gambling, it's my second happiness because I usually just play for fun. Although sometimes I take home gambling winnings,.

Slot games are more like Esports games. Games with immediate results have the most possibility of getting players addicted. A slot player can be carried away by quick results and won't mind the reduction of his deposited money, due to losses, and enjoy the fun of playing slots as it requires no prior skill to participate in the game. Sometimes I couldn't go a day without playing slot games with my girlfriend. The winning creeps in from time to time, but we lose out both time and money, due to the fast return of results. The football game doesn't get people easily addicted to gambling, because of the time they'll have to wait for the game to be over. But one thing is certain about sports gambling, it leads to anxiety faster than slot games. When watching soccer with a gambler, his modes and emotions are so much attached to the match, that he'll be involuntarily unhappy if a player fails to pass a ball correctly or score a goal. Such experiences are not conducive to the health of the gambler, and even if he doesn't gamble all the time like a slot gambler, he could get addicted, as a result of the previous game.

One other mistake of sports gamblers is the lack of attention to the history of a team, most of them gamble for the money and are less concerned about the formations of the team they're staking money on their match. Hence the gamblers, mostly low rollers, end up betting on games they won't watch. Regardless of the anxiety of watching the games they booked, losing consistently also exposes the gambler to being addicted. That means they'll have to gamble every weekend or even weekdays for teams or leagues they don't know anything about their origin or history. Slots can be controlled, as the results happen fast, but sports betting only gets worse coupled with the anger of losing a match. Football has this natural passion in both players and spectators that sometimes I see people cry over a football match. It's a game that connects to the brain even without gambling on it, hence the gambler will feel double pains if he loses the match and his money at the same time.
1283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? on: December 23, 2023, 10:27:24 AM
No, I think things should not be confused, because anyone can be a millionaire by making a very high bet on a soccer team or any other sporting event, but what is risked has to be proportional to what is won, or at least a little more, which is very difficult, but based on this we are people who have always been seeing the best things for ourselves and making money, I'm not saying it can't be done, but the person who has some money and wants to risk it in such an impressive way, because it is your right to do so, which is rewarded for not being fearful, but you also have to consider that money is something that comes and goes, only that sometimes we need it almost for everything So in this order of ideas a person can become a millionaire but only if they bet a lot of money, but a lot, I think it is difficult to challenge because starting with little money is hard, you have to be in the sport very well trying to see how he can bet, find out which player is injured, what his teammates are thinking, well all of this must be considered.

In the event that we are doing other things, for example betting on one sport, then on another and so on and so on and so on, it is not a good idea either because when we do that, what we are doing is that we are resorting to gambling completely. , decisions are not made thanks to the knowledge of each person, and thanks to what the person thinks, which seems much more effective to me, that is why I always make an analogy between sports betting and trading, 'because for me both require good knowledge and most of the decisions made, win or lose, are totally and absolutely responsible, there is no other, this is what we do to generate better ways to play and win, whether with sports betting, trading, But it is a matter of going after money intelligently.


The money the gambler has lost on his course of gambling and what he'll lose in the future may not be equated to his earnings. People think that winning big is the end of gambling. It's not a form of doing something till the big win, then stopping to try other things. Some people do this, yet it's the starting point for most gamblers. Sports gambling is for the experienced sports analysts and football freaks who can differentiate between one possibility of a team winning to another reason why the lesser with big odds would win instead. This analysis can be boycotted and done without any time investment and still, the player would win. Gambling is a game that doesn't have any accurate technical requirements. What is needed for a gambler to win is trial and error. Sometimes we win, and most times we lose. So, gamblers must be able to check through these differences to be on the safe side, and not just gamble because someone they know won big in gambling. Money comes and goes, as you said, it shouldn't be the main aim for gamblers. People have made millions through gambling, I see winnings each day I visit a casino website. Those wins keep popping up and make me want to gamble more.

A good number of millionaires are made each day through gambling, it's not meant to be news. This is also an important aspect of gambling, but we fail to understand that these people have been losing money for a long, and still expect to lose more faster than they can imagine. The more a player wins the more he wagers. Win-win for the house. So, the house won't hesitate to send out those wins for any gambler who won his predictions. I'd also add that most people lose millions each day in gambling to balance the ratio of money circulating in the gambling world or niche. A gambling firm makes lots of money from the little amount of money wagered by a huge number of gamblers, then rewards a few more lucky winners to attract fresh new gamblers to join their gambling firm. Football games happen in ways that the gambler has some control over his side if he's able to predict right the winner or loser of the game. Hence, these things still happen like magic, and a large number of gamblers lose out in sports games.
1284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: December 23, 2023, 09:59:04 AM
Self-control is important in the life of every gambler and newbies need to utilize the opportunity of being informed of such a strategy. But it's quite difficult for the newbies to learn all these in one go. They need to practice the process through gambling and it's not simple to be a gambler who wouldn't face a strong urge to break free from the strategy we knew about before gambling. As a newbie asking questions is cool, but the best advice I'd give to a newbie is to open up to his close friends about the new habit of gambling he's developed. Because the online community may not be able to save the player if they begin to make mistakes in gambling. The advice can't work. Even when a person gets addicted, and wants to change, he'll also fight against it. I mean some addicts begin to find it hard to accept, that gambling addiction could be curable. In the long run, gambling with caution and reading strategies online is a secondary thing, the primary aim is being close to gamblers or nongamblers in real life. Who can talk to us first hand. Face to face conversation helps faster than just reading books or online articles.

Gamblers whose aim centers around money still wouldn't understand the type of problem gambling they've been into, not that they won't lose or win. But the reaction on the brain could get the player high, like any other substance. At that point, he will be addicted and won't be able to come out of the addiction. The fear of change and the core hurt of addiction correlates then confusing the addicted player to think that addiction is impossible to heal. It's the hardest form of curing an addicted person. To save newcomers from getting addicted, some practices like having a second signatory to their bank account can help reduce the bankruptcy rate of the gambler. It's better to save the player's money, and then begin treatment, instead of losing the money and the mental control. It puts the gambler in more severe pain.
Yes, self-control is important for everyone and plays a role not only in gambling but also in everything around us. And especially for those who gamble, they need to have good self-control so they are not easily tempted by whatever they see while they are gambling. Learning self-control is difficult, but it's worth learning so those who gamble can avoid losing a lot. Moreover, with good self-control, they can avoid losing a lot and won't gamble excessively. In learning self-control, a person must continuously practice it until they really have good self-control and can play gambling calmly and enjoy it as entertainment. Those who are still beginners need to be able to learn this self-control so that they don't get into the serious problems gamblers face. They don't need to gamble too often just because they want to have fun because they can still get pleasure from other things that don't involve money. And those who are beginners don't hesitate to ask people experienced in gambling so they can learn from them.

Those who want to make money from gambling should not try it seriously because they will have difficulty getting it. And if they keep trying it by gambling more often, they must be prepared to experience gambling addiction. If they already have a gambling addiction, it will not be easy to recognize it and many gambling addicts cannot stop themselves from gambling. That is why novice gamblers need to master self-control well and we always warn them to limit themselves in gambling so that they do not experience any problems. And don't forget always to have a healthy mindset when gambling. Always remember that gambling is just for fun and not to make money. By having a positive mindset, they will not try to win but will only gamble moderately and try to be responsible gamblers.
Self-control is a lifelong talent, like a mental muscle that needs continual training. Individuals must work on this skill. This is very important in the gambling industry. The thrill of the game and the promise of winnings are seductive yet dangerous. We must teach newcomers the difference between a safe bet and a risky one. Don't only prevent loss; foster a mindset that regards gambling as enjoyment, not an income stream. This viewpoint must be emphasised!

The recreational nature of gambling cannot be stressed. We must fight for this! Gambling should be fun and fun, not obligatory. It's about the adrenaline, excitement, and socialising, not the money. We must teach newbies that gambling is like going to a movie or concert: a method to relax, not a way to gain money. We, the experts, must teach beginners this mindset. Remember: responsible gambling as a hobby may add colour and pleasure to life without threatening financial security.

I'm glad to have read the few lines of responses on gambling from both of you. Gambling is a form of spending money on what we want, not a place of investment. Most newbies or pro gamblers see gambling as an investment. And it ends up hurting them when they're not able to get a return on investment after many years of gambling. When we lodge in hotels or go to stadiums to watch football, do we expect them to refund us money at any given time? no. Some hotels would only offer us breakfast which we are not entitled to have every morning. Gambling is similar to these activities, we pay to relax and learn strategies that most matter to our daily lifestyles. Discipline, self-control, money management, time management, etc, are a few of the many things we pay for while gambling. The money we get isn't an entitlement, just like the morning tea a hotel offers to their customers.

Hence, spending the morning in a hotel because of the morning tea alone, is it worth it? We paid for the comfort and to spend a night or two. Gamblers need to learn to draw a line between, what they're paying for and the entitlement they've developed for the money won while relaxing through gambling. That's why gamblers stress more on self-control. Being able to control ourselves from seeing money as an entitlement but as a reward, is very crucial. Gamblers don't actually what they're paying for in gambling. Why would a gambler who has a source of income, also see gambling as a side hustle? some questions need to be asked about the behaviors of gamblers. Fine, gambling can be juxtaposed with the way we reason and could affect our brain. But only those who allow it to mess with their brain would be victims of such circumstances. Hence the more newbies are not enlightened on matters like this and these factors attached to gambling, they go home believing that gambling only has to do with money and addiction. Then neglect the good aspect of life, that doesn't threaten their financial security.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 23, 2023, 09:32:17 AM
I get your point and if you ask for my opinion I will also say same thing but I think most western culture or way of life are ignorant of some of these things as the world with them have become so free that the children are constantly exposed to such habits even without the consideration of the effects(negative) that can get to these little observers. Although I know that human are of different types as some are ignorant and careless and do fall under this category.
Restricting what your children could watch was easier decades ago, because back then kids had very little access to technology and at most only their friends could expose them to gambling early on.

However thanks to the internet not only kids are exposed to all kind of things at an inappropriate age, now parents are not even aware this is happening as it is impossible for them to monitor everything that their kids are doing online, since it is often the case that parents are way behind in the use of new technologies compared to their own kids.
I admit that limiting viewing for children is very difficult because nowadays, children are used to watching shows they can easily access. With more advanced technology today, they can choose what they want to watch and even do it without the help of their parents. This is where parents supervise their children to be able to tighten their rules towards their children so that they will not be influenced by anything they see. Husbands or wives need to know this so they can think about whether they should reduce their gambling activities for the sake of their children and maybe stopping gambling is best for them.

This is not a matter of who should stop, but it depends on each individual's awareness, husband or wife because this is their responsibility. If they could realize it, they would think that they both need to stop gambling.

In a family where the husband gambles alongside the wife, there is no doubt that people may think of their children as future gamblers. Such perspectives aren't wrong, neither is it a threat to the future life of the children. The most crucial duty is the act of management; kids, family, money, food, bills, etc. These few utilities shouldn't compound to become a problem in any family. Both gamblers must be able to instruct their children on what to do at a specific time and monitor their internet access. Recommending a keylogger installed on the devices or gadgets of the kids would be important. So that the parent would be able to observe any single search the child is inputting on his system. Children are very skillful and fast at adapting to new technologies, hence parents must act as adults too, by staying extra hours in researching for means to stay ahead of their children. The kids we own are our responsibility, they should be grown in a way that pleases us, and if one is found misbehaving, the parents must caution the child to stop. Or be punished. What kind of punishment is effective in changing a change?

In previous years, our parents were used to seizing our gadgets or maybe restricting us from going to participating in games we love like football, basketball, etc. Those moves weren't effective, in my response, because at some point they weren't able to keep up with the pace and got tired, hence the child continued with his bad habit. Punishing a child could be done in different ways. When I want to change a child, I don't buy them what  I bought for others as a punishment. That child would have a rethink or sometimes cry over it. Such things leave a mark on the child that lets him remember that whenever s/he misbehaves his parents won't buy him gifts when they buy for his siblings. Then that child would begin to shape his ways, to be eligible for the next gift. I've used this method to get most children close to me, interested in mathematics and they hardly fail on doing their maths assignments. Parents can as well use this to caution a child that feels the urge to gamble as a minor.
1286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 23, 2023, 09:07:17 AM
I am really against the side of borrowing I don't like when someone goes to borrow money to complete their gambling desires which is very wrong attitudes and whomever that engages Into always ends up becoming a debtor whereby if time not taking you wouldn't know when to start selling personal properties and belongings. Whomever that really want to gamble should set a limits to themselves in other to maintain themselves and removed some imbalance gambling operations.

Gambling addiction has a lot of side effects that if not cautioned on time could lead to more losses in personal life. It works in such a way that you’ll be tempted to touch your personal belongings hoping to win big this time around and when you don’t, you’ll still be convinced to try one extra time and that continues until you don’t have anything to sell to fulfill your desire. No matter what you do, set limits for them so that you don’t get too excited with them that it will cause you trouble later.

Indeed it's one of the important aspects of gambling, being responsible to the extent of not borrowing money for gambling. It'll lead the gambler to more trouble gambling. Gambling with our funds is better than losing out on another person's pocket. It only puts the gambler in a more severe painful condition. Where he'd have to fear over what he'd do about paying back his loan. Gambling isn't a competition, but most times due to the results of other players around us, gamblers end up playing more games against their own will. Hence sticking to the plan and working with our budget is among the best gambling strategies for any gambler. We need to stay prepared against any form of addiction. Being addicted to taking loans for gambling purposes may not be a good habit in the long run, even if the gambler can clear his debts. I'm aware some gamblers clear their debts and it's not far from the truth that, other gamblers who fall victim to not being able to pay back their debt, do this because they've seen or heard of a fellow gambler who took a loan to gamble.

Ushering out more precautionary measures for gamblers is worth it and we must inform gamblers of the need to have a budget. Nothing is wrong with cutting our coats according to our sizes. As gamblers, we need to admit that we can't afford to wager certain amounts of money, in one day. Instead, the money can be split into partitions and could lead us to an extra 5 days of gambling. Hence we'll have multiple gambling experiences and fun. Of what use would it be for a gambler to lose all his money and still have not won to show? He'd only get sad and scared of what his financial life would become in the coming days. Planning our moves is part of gambling, and we should learn that gambling teaches us to be smart and calculative. A gambler who doesn't learn from the act of gambling will always face the same problems as addicted players.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 23, 2023, 08:40:01 AM
The terms and conditions of casinos and other companies is usually very lengthy and somehow boring for some people. Hence , many people rarely find time to read them. They may actually contain some of the complaints that people raise about some casinos such requiring KYC if there is need or suspicion of money laundering activities.

What is your take on this?
Even as I know how it's important to read the terms and conditions before registration in any platform be it casino or any other type of platform, I won't lie that am a victim not actually doing the readings of the terms and conditions. Well the main reason for this first would be the fact that the whole terms and conditions something are written to actually irritate the gambler and by this I mean the font and size at which some of these terms are written. While another would be the fact that most people are just too lazy to do it.

Does it make any change, reading the terms and conditions? In most ways it does, and reading the terms of service of a casino doesn't mean that the gambler would have to do that in one day. The most important of those rules would be shared on different platforms or discussed in the chat box of the casino website. I've seen top casino terms like the prohibition of certain regions or countries being discussed on review sites. The punishable offense makes it to the discussion boards of the casino's blog or forum discussions. So, if a person is too lazy to read a few important terms of a service where he wagers money, he should endeavor to research the few rules that have got people talking. Others who read it may have done this to enlighten others who didn't. I don't see it as a difficult task to glance at the crucial aspects of a casino's rules and abide by the terms not to lose our money or account. Most people have lost their accounts and money, due to the failure to read those few words of advice on what to do in a casino.

Imagine playing from a prohibited region, what could be the joy of the gambler when he wins and is being denied of his money? You'd see them, most times, running to online forums seeking help and blaming the casino for not being good to gamblers. While the problem is from the gambler because he didn't read their terms of service. Hence, it's very important to set out time and glance through it, I could remember reading them, and it wasn't a difficult task. It looks too long, but once you begin, the process gets easier and you start to enjoy the read. The writers are also marvelous writers, they make the long read memorable. I noticed that review writers mostly read those write-ups to make up a competent review about the casino. Using them for your information about a casino could be nice for non readers, but always hear from the horse's mouth.
1288  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational on: December 23, 2023, 08:17:53 AM
There must be a lot of people who are curious about what slot games actually are so there is a big parade being held, so detailed eucation still needs to be carried out in order to make the parade of education about slot gambling effective, from the existing additions, quite a lot of young people are addicted to slots, they don't know that what they are playing will slowly suck up their money.  Apart from that, environmental influences also play a big role in gambling addiction, only a few percent of people are successful in getting out of the influence of gambling while others fail to become responsible gamblers, they become gambling addicts because the environment and genetic factors in them make them addicted to gambling, they find it difficult to control themselves in gambling.

Would such parades turn into fun gatherings that won't have any effective impact on gambling? The parade can be abused by young people and they could see it as an awareness to those who are not gamblers to join gambling. Motives do change, and such things as parades don't seem to me like an educational means of reducing gambling addiction. Education shouldn't be noisy. The learners need to be heard. Gambling addicts need to be heard, in society. No need to see them as failed people or wayward individuals. They get lots of blame and discrimination from loved ones, which is not important to the health of the gambler. Instead, it pushes him to gamble more often. Believing that he has nobody to help him. Parading and creating awareness in the society like say no to gambling addiction. It can't stop or heal. Being careful with them heals faster than condemnation, I'd say that people should change their perspective of parades, and teach society about the importance of being careful with a gambler.

Society has become void of them, parents regret the fact that their kids are getting addicted each day. Without knowing the right way or method to control the kids, they'll only be left with the choice of condemning them and blaming them for the trouble they've caused to themselves and the disgrace brought to the family. Assuming the player fully is in control of what he's doing, then there'll be no problem blaming the gambler. But this time it has to do with loss of control. The help should be coming from the family. Running around the streets won't help change anybody's mental illness. But, informing parents on what to do about their addicted loved ones, can save a few more lives in society. Creating awareness of the importance of psychotherapy, introducing the child to visit a therapist, and keeping up with his therapy sessions. These things affect change. Harming the child emotionally, blaming him or her, worsens the problem. It hurts to see our loved ones suffer, so let's help them.
1289  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: December 23, 2023, 07:51:30 AM
Here are two things to take note of before gambling
1.have a budget:it's very crucial to set a budget, decide how much money you are comfortable spending on gambling
Always stake what you can afford to lose. Have a limit and stick to it, doing it this way wouldn't put you under
Pressure and anxiety
2.Take breaks:This is a very important point..gambling can be very addicting especially when we start excepting a lot from it
From the first point I made I said you should always stake what you can afford to lose but it's important to
Take regular breaks especially when your losses are more than your wins.give yourself time to recover cause it's all about maintaining a healthy balance...I hope this helps someone out there

For the OP, I'm sure you didn't pay attention to old topics that discussed things like this before, so you created the same topic as this. It's a good idea if you want to create a topic, you have to dig up old posts that other members have made first. Avoid making the same topic.
setting a budget for gambling is something that must be done by gamblers, the point is to avoid excessive use of the budget and even incurring debt for gambling, people who apply budgeting in gambling will definitely be safe from the trap of bankruptcy and also this debt is an important thing in responsible in gambling.
Getting enough rest is also another important thing, a fresh brain will make good decisions.

Clouded decision, yeah, happen to me many times, although sometimes my brain will tell me to stop already because I'm either winning or losing, but still my heart will dictate to continue and so it's a hit or missed on my end.

So it's better to take a rest if you are being consumed by gambling, at least a day or two is good and then come back refresh and maybe you have a better strategy and saw what went wrong on your previous sessions. It's going to be hard, but at least a sound mind can make good decisions and not follow your heart.

Confusion from numerous gambling ideas could be overwhelming and consume lots of brain power. I encourage gamblers to appreciate the importance of taking another rest. The brain gets too exhausted trying to figure out what prediction will be accurate or not. If the gambler cherishes sleep and takes his time in cooling his brain through enough rest, he wouldn't have to experience stress. Which leads to wrong calculations in gambling. Being in control also helps the player to be decisive and coordinated in creating new gambling decisions and strategies. Lack of such qualities in gambling could result in lots of problems gambling with the player. The brain when filled with things we need to do, yet doesn't get enough rest. Could be doing the reverse of what we expect it to execute, and may provide us with wrong predictions and reactions after a loss. If the brain can relax and doesn't bother the gambler to gamble more, the player wouldn't have to bother getting addicted.

Taking a few day's rest is also valuable in the life of any gambler. It's worth the time, and the gambler would notice a change in him after such a brief vacation from gambling. Gamblers who go for money and neglect their budget, only do so to the detriment of their brain. They end up receiving impulses that make them regret being a gambler in the first instance. It's a hard practice, for most gamblers as the need to play more is quite stronger than that of calling it a day. Gambling is fun, and thrilling, the human body loves such activities and won't stop especially when money is involved. So, every gambler may not be able to successfully execute this strategy of taking a break. To most it's impossible and they must enjoy the thrill every single day, thereby losing out on greater opportunities. The belief that responsible gamblers don't win big in gambling, still amazes me, as it's not proven anywhere that irresponsible gamblers do win better than responsible gamblers, because they gamble more than the responsible folks.

Writing a casino review is not about getting people to see a specific flair added to your writing, but it's a way to try and get their interest to read more of your writing. Nobody cares about what is added or removed. What makes your readers read again is if the previous articles were useful and were able to solve their problem. What I don't want to see in a casino review is the trend of review writers promoting a casino with some features, that they don't possess, because they were paid to write about the casino that way. I understand your wish to send out a unique casino review other than what your competitors do each day. But, I'd want to ask you, is it possible to write what's not in a casino, to appear unique? Or are there other things in a casino that review writers are missing out on that you think we should open up to you? Well, I've read tonnes of review sites and may tell you that almost all the useful factors are being explained in the casino; Age, provably fair, currency, game provider, bonus, customer service, etc.

Remember you need to write what your readers know and then convince them of some other things which they've never been in contact with. Trying to take them in a different direction of topics and what suits your perspective can affect your website ranking due to pogo-sticking. The reader may not be satisfied with the idea you are trying to initiate. Do you want to add stuff like how many staff work for the casino, the contact details of the casino boss, or the location where the casino is located? Such things may not be valuable to others, but to you, it'll be a good job. Writing is not about you, the writer, but the readers. Give them the raw information that they want, and the reader will be happy to have found help. The site can then be twisted to enable readers to add their own experience with the casino, hence making an interactive section between the gamblers and the review writer. Maybe through this method, you'd be able to figure out what your readers want.

The difference between the gamblers and gambling addicts was the gambling addicts will re-invest as like you said by taking more loan from all his friends.But the gamblers will play the game till their income or holding money apart from their monthly expenses.The gambling addicts also involve in criminal activities to generate money for the gambling,So finally get jail as you said for the criminals offence.After the loss,the gamblers should accept the loss and way forward.If they get depressed and try to recover the losses using the re-invest of money many times.It may leads to the huge amount owe by the gambling addicts to others.
If you play for a few bucks and it is not regular then you can't call the person a gambler. A gambler is a person who is addicted to the gamble. Who has a passion for gambling and if the person loses their fund then the person will reinvest by hook or by crook.
But be careful on what you are dealing with because we know that these small steps but ended up on becoming that a regular kind of activity or becoming a hobby then this is where these addiction  do really start up but somehow not all people would really be like that on which there are still those people who are really that good when it comes to self control and awareness of things on which it do really just that fine that they are really that playing gambling as long you do have the control and something to be that consistent and really that permanent because once you do lose your hold into that
particular control then this is where gambling addiction would be starting and this is why we should really be that careful and wary on whatever actions that we are making.

Gambling is like a pulley, it either goes up or down. Hence, the gambler must stabilize his games to his taste. As a result, what we get in gambling sometimes gets the brain high or low. Sometimes a gambler's happiness would be determined by how much money he won. Those with no self-control get to finish their funds and move forward to take loans. Or even engage in other incriminating acts like a drug addict would do to buy some substances. Psychologists, already proved that even if gambling has nothing to do with substances it has the power to affect the brain, the same way other harmful drugs do. But, the difference is now in the person's capacity to stabilize his gambling habit. We all have this need to make ourselves happy and earn money via gambling. Yet it's not a competition or a must to do that. Gamblers have other sources of making money, so taking gambling as the only source with the most possibility of becoming rich is a wrong idea or perspective.

Such false beliefs now trigger the player to gamble more than he should, then chase loss till his brain gets disturbed by the anxiety he feels every day for losing money in gambling. Added to the stress, his brain may get disordered. Yes, Oilacris, not all gamblers would fall victim to addiction, provided that they can follow the disciplinary strategies of being a responsible gambler. Many still gamble for fun and don't get aroused by wins or losses. They have the capability of changing their decision and know when to stop. But it doesn't mean they can't get addicted. Gambling addiction works in different ways, those factors; like self control, help in controlling it, but humans have the ability to change at any time. The main reason therapists would say that even those whom we think can't be addicted, may end up becoming addicts. We can't predict who is going to be an addict, regardless of their level of understanding in gambling.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 22, 2023, 11:40:35 PM
Once engaged in this game of luck, players will gradually lose control and become addicted to gambling. After each loss, they will have the mentality that they have just had bad luck, will definitely be more careful and luckier next time, will win, and so gradually get caught up in this never-ending game. Because once lost, players often tend to continue playing more games to get back the money they lost but continue to lose a large amount of money. At first, it's just a habit. It will gradually become a reflex, This will then create an intense feeling of being dependent on a substance. They will not be able to escape.

But it is not always like that, meaning that not every gambler will end up with addiction because there are always gamblers who come just for entertainment and fun provided that they have the right understanding and point of view on gambling itself, and it seems that what you are saying is that gamblers always overdo it or do not have any understanding so that over time they enter the addiction phase slowly.

You should not forget that there will always be other possibilities, meaning that not everyone who has lost the next time they will be more careful, because there are always those who are even more aggressive in gambling because they cannot accept the defeat in the previous time which finally then they act aggressively to catch up with the defeat in the previous time or want to break even. I think only the right awareness and understanding of gambling can make them stay okay and be more careful when they have experienced bad things. On the other hand, it's true that the more they gamble, the more they become dependent on this activity and if they don't engage in it, they feel like something is missing, they are stuck in the wrong mindset.

A gambler who gets engaged in gambling and feels insecure or incomplete when he's not able to gamble can be diagnosed as an addicted gambler, and he may no longer regret his gambling mistakes. That's why he'll gamble more and focus on the big win. The thrill doesn't stop, he only needs to make money for gambling's sake. This state of gambling is not recommended for newbie gamblers as they'll always find it hard to change. Most times the experienced gamblers who find themselves wallowing in problem gambling, sometimes find a way of curing their addiction. But the new gamblers don't have such privilege because they lack the experience and wouldn't be able to trace their way out. Hence, they'll only face the trouble, by trying to gain their money back. The process gets to a stage where the gambler's actions become reflexes, as N00ber said. At this level, the player can't help himself.

Take for instance, Nara, if a person does something continuously, they'll get used to doing it, but the difference between other actions and gambling is the reaction it erupts in the brain. Our brain is sensitive to every instruction we send for it to process. Sometimes the brain begins to function in a way that seems automatic in some cases. Due to the wrong impulses that have piled up in the brain and made some changes to it, that needs to be corrected. Mental disorder, as the name implies, is just a disorder. Not that the person won't be fine again or can't stop gambling or chasing losses. He only needs the part of his brain that's affected to be cured by a therapist. Which can also lead to a more serious situation for the gambler. It takes a long time for a player to be healed of mental illness caused by reckless gambling. As he'd not feel comfortable letting himself accept the feeling of staying without gambling. His brain now tells him that it's impossible, just like we can't do without water or air.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 22, 2023, 11:16:08 PM

Online casinos produce a high number of addicted players compared to physical casino, yes. Because of the restrictive measures put aside for the gambling age and who should gamble or not, then the time frame also helps players to moderate how they gamble. Moving from one location to gamble, helps the brain to remember when the time is late for the gambler to go home and sleep. The online setting doesn't have some of these restrictions available, anybody can gamble whenever they want and wouldn't bother about time. Even the younger players who are below eighteen sometimes boycott the rule by using their elder sibling's document as KYC. The naive nature of younger gamblers to make quick money wouldn't allow them the privilege to control themselves, as they'll be chasing big wins. Some of them go for loans, and don't know how they do it, but most news channels in Australia prove it right about young teenagers gambling with loans and putting themselves into big trouble that could be risking their physical or mental health.

It seems like this has become a real fact that it is true that since the emergence of online-based casinos now people who are involved and who are addicted are increasing, as I said earlier that ease of access is one of the advantages that of course will be chosen by most people rather than having to go to a physical casino which is certainly quite complicated. You are right, there is a significant difference in terms of time between these two casinos, if you are involved in online casinos then obviously you can gamble whenever you want until your money runs out maybe, while in physical casinos you cannot fully gamble because they have opening hours and closing hours so when the time is too late most likely they will close all access in the casino which means it shows the completion of the gambling session that day and continue tomorrow.

Another thing is that it is clear that online casinos have real freedom which does not recognize age, as you said minors can also get involved by submitting  their brother's or sister's personal data as a KYC requirement to get involved in gambling. On the other hand, this is what is worried about and what should be of full attention to all parents, because the name of minors they absolutely do not think about any risks, they  will only continue to play to make money quickly by aggressive means. If they run out of money then it is very likely that they will look for any means as an alternative such as borrowing from some services, so online casinos certainly have many worse impacts.


The impact affects the minors very much and most times they don't have alternative means of changing their situations. The problem with them starts when their parents refuse to offer them funds to satisfy their online gambling urges. In a child's state of problem, the parents need to look into ways of helping the minor gambler solve his problems. But these days parents have little or no time to spend with their wards. Hence endangering the future of the younger generation. Most of them get addicted and require help, but their parent won't be able to detect that the child is going through some difficulties. The discussion session we normally had in the previous decades, with our parents is hard to find in today's world. Instead, everyone focusing on social media, parents now communicate with their kids on air, telephone, and messaging apps. The physical discussions, help the mother of a child to question the facial reaction of their child. To know what's bothering them, or to know why the child isn't interested in playing video games anymore.

These few discoveries, as described above, can help figure out that a child is now into gambling, and also prove why his pocket money keeps finishing, or why he's asking for an increment in his pocket money. Minors are naive and want to make quick money to impress their peers in school. Such things as minors weren't available in the physical casino era, and gamblers were mainly adults who could take care of their problems or decisions. Like I said earlier, their teachers in school can have extra moral classes with kids who are acting strange in school. Those who are easily provoked, don't engage in any activity, want to be left alone, undergoing depression, etc. These things are easily noticed among school children, but the administration cares less about emotional intelligence. Which is the best skill in today's world. Most kids suffer the pain of having to see their parents once a week or a month. Gambling can be their only alternative, and then they develop an addiction, putting themselves in a more serious problem, like mental disorder or depression.
1294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 22, 2023, 10:51:32 PM

Gamblers who take responsibility for their action wouldn't have trouble or blame others if they failed. Taking responsibility helps the brain to rethink and do the right thing, for a losing gambler, he would figure out a means of restructuring his gambling schedule and change a few bad habits like wagering all their money in a single game. For the spouses, I think they wouldn't have to regret anything about gambling because they can complain to one another if a new unwanted gambling habit erupts in their lives. Management is important, and the woman should control the finances while the man can keep up with techniques and management strategies. The list provided by AmoreJaz is very important and it's what is at stake for any family both gambling or non gambling homes. As I said in my previous response, some families where both spouses don't gamble still face difficulties with meeting those requirements.

It's not just about being a gambler or not. Although one may think that a gambler has a higher chance of failing in building his home, that could be wrong for responsible gamblers. If they spend 1% of their monthly income on gambling, they are still on the right track and the family won't suffer any loss in home-keeping. Both spouses can further ahead to becoming professional gamblers, if any of them wins a jackpot someday wouldn't the family celebrate the enhancement of their monthly income? The disadvantages of gambling have made us not see the advantages of gambling in our everyday lives. Advising them to stop wouldn't be helpful by any means and they can have a tough time agreeing to that term. Adults have to remain responsible for any decision they wish to follow and these two are grown-ups and can differentiate between what's good or bad in gambling. But, if they can't keep up with responsible gambling, I think they'll need help.
Recognizing the complex relationship between gambling and family is necessary. Responsible gambling is a good cause, however it depends on 'if' you can play properly. This 'if' is dangerous. This sounds reasonable: gamblers should spend 1% of their income on gambling. Does this one-size-fits-all strategy meet variations in family finances? Not necessarily. Even minor gambling can be dangerous. The key is the proportion and the discipline and self-control required.

Your idea that women handle finances and men focus on skills sounds oversimplified and stereotyped. Each family's dynamics are different, therefore an egalitarian approach may promote mutual respect and understanding.

Your outlook on gambling's perks, like winning a jackpot, is hopeful. Gambling should never be considered a stable revenue source. The odds are often against the player. Making professional gambling a family aim may not be wise. Making educated gambling decisions requires a balanced understanding of the risks and rewards.

You've made a great point, and I'd want to stress more on the term Egalitarianism. In this condition, it doesn't mean anybody is more important than the other. Handling money doesn't increase the respect of anybody in the family. Provided that the man and woman earn money, one party should be in control of how is been spent and then report to the other person about their weekly expenses. In economics, it would be termed, the division of labor. Each task should be allocated to the person who can perfectly execute it with fewer problems. In my response, it sounded like a generalized instruction for a woman to be in control of the money, if both spouses are gamblers. This time to make it clear, if the woman isn't capable of doing it, then the man can handle the task. But, from my observations, women have the skill of home-keeping and know when to buy certain important utilities in the house.

As gamblers she can always set aside the monthly money meant for gambling and endeavors that nobody breaks the rule of spending more than the agreed amount of money made for gambling. So, hoping to find a family where both parties would do the same thing just to promote mutual respect or understanding can be rare, as we are created differently. In such a case I can say that, they'll have to joggle the idea. Maybe the wife controls money this month and the man another month, while the wife takes care of strategies. This will only reduce their productivity as the consistency will disappear. Moreover, if the husband doesn't master a strategy that can be applied to their gambling life to stay winning more than losing, how would they be able to stay relevant in gambling or happy, if they continuously lose money in gambling? Since the odds are against them, they need to fight to win at all costs, not just money, but maintaining a good home and being responsible parents.
1295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: December 22, 2023, 10:29:08 PM

How many games that are truly categorized as gambling are there that allow you to win big when you can control your emotions? What if I am a dumb fuck, full of emotions and put all my money on a number in roulette and win? All this talk about controlling emotions may apply to some games where skill still plays a role, like in poker, but even there the players with the highest control over their emotions have no long term guarantee to be a winner. The word gambling implies that it is a game of chance. You can slightly increase your chance when you avoid bad moves, irrational moves, but after all it's still whether luck is with you or not.

The gambler who had a potential to control the emotions,they he will play the game without any temptation.So this alone give you big win in the gambling site,if you do the meditation.This will help to control the emotions in the gambling site.This seems you never play the gambling game,because the gambler who play the game will know the value of the control of the emotions in the gambling.In my gambling games,I had double the money once.At that time,my full game was played without any care of win or loss in the game.Because the initial money was from the bonus money from the gambling site.

In that case, the player wouldn't have to bother about his results, if he now gambles with the money he won, and saves his own money for another day. Your actions, Westinhome, are great, but not everyone would be able to focus on the bonus money alone. There are multiple meanings to all gambling strategies, and that's why gamblers need to be psychologically strong. A gambler needs to understand the right time to make any move or apply unique strategies in gambling. The measures talked about in the forum are mainly to restrict or reduce the high rate of addiction circulating among gamblers. The aim isn't about maximizing profits or seeing it as a game of chance for more money. A player who follows strategies like self-control wouldn't win big in gambling in the long run, and at the same time won't go home wearing a frowned face or transferring aggression to his friends or family.

The winning, however, is not guaranteed all the time. A gambler will undergo lots of difficulties, thick and thin, to win big. Hence, while we encourage players to stay clear from addiction or chasing for the money, it's important to note that, it takes time to be in control of games like black roulette. The gambler may have paid some attention to the game and how it works to be able to win big unless he applies random tricks like predicting colors or some range of numbers on the board. I don't doubt the fact that a new player with no prior experience of black roulette can win big on his first day in gambling. Yes, it's possible. Yet it could put him into a fast race of recklessness. Just like most people would say the first win leads to reckless gambling. Such a player with no control, we still fund the house back the same money they just gave him. Neglecting some of the strategies discussed in this board, may not help a gambler who only depends on luck.
1296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 22, 2023, 10:08:23 PM
It should be a must to know how to control emotions as a gambler so that you wont use out of frustration to destroy what you have built in years in just one day. An alternative to control emotions if its difficult is to get a little bit of alcohol go inside your room, lock the door, drink and sleep till you wake up. After your awake you will have a different feeling and your mind would be at peace because the anger anf rage that was there when you lost huge will all be gone
In my opinion, a person's emotions or changes in behavior when they lose at gambling are caused by being addicted to gambling. Because someone who is addicted to gambling cannot control their emotions so their behavior will change to negative when they lose the game. because if we are not addicted, I think when we lose we will not be frustrated because from the start he was aware that we would bring money that was ready when we lost.

Gambling addicts have the opportunity to get caught up in financial problems and negative behavioral changes that lead to family and social problems. For me, alcohol is not the best way to deal with frustration, it will actually add to other problems because if you drink too much alcohol, people will lose consciousness. Maybe for those who are experts in drinking, this could be an alternative. I mean, not everyone can regret drinking alcohol.

Nobody is happy about losing money, but with the right techniques, one shouldn't bother about spending money on gambling. Wagering money bit by bit shouldn't make us sad when we lose the funds, as the amount of money wouldn't be enough to swing our mode. Addiction is the main cause of this, yes. The player may have gotten so attached to gambling, emotionally, that the results now represent his happiness or sadness. He is very happy if there is a win and vice versa after a loss. Gamblers who allow themselves to be under this type of condition should seek help like Op did. We all have these symptoms in us, and being able to discover them earlier on is a good thing for the gambler. Most players would be carried out, with the loss of control and won't be able to notice their problem. Instead, they'll blame it on some other things. Believing that gambling won't be able to get them into such a situation, will only worsen the situation. Using alcohol to change our mood or distract the emotions from such thoughts, could be like adding insult to injury, to most victims.

Alcohol addiction can be created out of it, causing double trouble for the gambler. The addict may now have to drink whenever he finds himself in such an emotional trauma. And this kind of changes he'll be experiencing often. So, that may not be a good alternative, and alcohol doesn't stop gambling addiction. What OP did in this thread is among the best methods of healing himself from addiction, talking to people, and seeking advise. Moving forward, I'd tell him to get his family involved and let them know about his problem. Addiction is not healed by hiding it from people around us. What we get from forums or special interest boards isn't enough to change our behavior. If he's able to notice his problem, then he's still under control of himself, what is required of him is to change his actions towards his kids, instead of being aggressive he can switch it to joy or engaging in fun activities with the children.
1297  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 22, 2023, 09:46:43 PM
The simplest answer is the difference in bankroll, it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor when you talk about bankroll management. There are rich people who will spend all their money, sell their car or whatever they have to keep on gambling, this is also the same case as for those who are poor. Just look at it this way, if you'll compare the bankroll and winning of rich and poor people, a rich gambler can win $1000 or more in 1 bet vs. a poor gambler who will gamble and depend on luck playing the whole day just to win $100 because of their limited bankroll. No matter how lucky you are, it all boils down on your bankroll.
Bankroll management is definitely a big factor when comes to winning because the casino definitely don't know the difference between the poor and the rich and so when you place your stake they definitely are not able to different between the poor and the rich staking on their platforms so like you did said it's not about been poor or rich.

With bigger bankroll you can win big in few picks but you will have to make multiple picks to get big win when you gambling on a small bank roll. The rich who has got a big bankroll jus stake once or twice and wins big thereby reducing their risk since they didn't have to try with multiple chance but those who have smaller bankroll increase their risk by trying multiple chances of which when one goes against them, they lose almost all their funds because it was little and the wanted to win big by going all with their bankroll.

The rich take advantage of some games, but not all. In sports gambling, the rich would be able to stake huge money in a single game, maximizing their chances of winning big in the game. But that won't be achievable in slot games. This is where bankroll management comes in, if a rich player wagers a huge amount in games like slots he'll find himself in the shoes of the gambler described by Virasisog. So, I think the results of both sides depend on planning and calculated expenses. The low roller still has the chance of winning big if he makes the right prediction. In games like Black Roulette, if a low roller can predict the right number for the ball correctly he'd win big, regardless of the amount of money he staked. Those are big luck games, for players with the idea of luck. Whatsoever a gambler does he is expected to have an idea of what he's into, especially for games like slots. It knows no rich or poor like you said.

The only benefit of being a rich gambler is the results that follow wagering huge amounts of money, even in slots. The risks are very high for the rich player because he'd be losing money that looks big to him. The money he wagers could be a big win for the low roller.

However, an inexperienced high roller may end up broke in gambling, compared to an experienced low roller. These criteria or differences must be talked about in such threads or arguments because all rich gamblers are not smart gamblers. Not the whole of them will be able to make the right decision in gambling. Most of them still make big mistakes and don't know reasonable strategies like money management that can reduce their rate of losing money. The fact they are rich doesn't mean that their money management skill is enough to counter the urge to gamble more when faced with losses. I know of experienced rich gamblers who don't mind the results, they get, the main purpose of their participating in gambling is to learn more about critical thinking and risk management. Other than such focused gamblers, a rich gambler with the aim of more money can end up losing all his riches or wealth in gambling.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: December 22, 2023, 09:23:15 PM
Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.
For sure they do,  most of the casino owners are even active in their live streaming and you can see how active they are on the games so that being said it goes along to answer your question of if casino owners also gamble on their own casino.

Many times,  some people believe that casino operators control the outcome of games,  but in reality, we must know that casinos are systems that are being run and at some point, it becomes clear that even the casino owner will be treated as a customer and not an insider he has to work to win the games and besides he can also lose too.

In that sense, casino games are programmed and after acquiring that service even the casino owners serves as end-user meaning that they are also client who will use the service and unless the programmer have that code and willing to breach it out to the buyer which is not a common practice as they are protecting the system, then it can be rigged out but if the casino is legit and they are protecting the business, the owner will not do things like that to ruin his business, he will just play as ordinary player like how the other users deal with luck and few are using knowledge that they acquire from their experienced.

If the casino dealer is watching over all the operations happening in the casino, he would restrict anybody from cheating the system. Including the owner? not sure, the only confusing thing right now is the relationship between the casino and the game providers. Don't know if the casino would be able to manipulate results from a game provider's server. As these two parties are different and have some restrictions. There are some things a casino can't do with a gaming provider. Take for instance a game provider that can restrict people in a specific location from playing their game, while the casino allows for anybody to use the casino. But, when it comes to that specific game provider the player has no right to participate in such game, except with a VPN. The provably fair system has to do with the casino, not the gaming provider, this is where I don't understand what happens, in terms of the results we get from a casino.

According to research, the casino controls the results, but the provably fair system would still be there to make sure that the house edge allows players some time to win. Hence, it's quite complicated to know the kind of treatment the casino boss or owner would be getting in terms of results. Another common example would be the streamers, we have rumors floating around the gambling niche that streamers get favor from the casino to win more than the players who join the casino to wager games. I think the casino boss would have to decide what happens or for some reason won't derive joy from using his casino. Maybe he'll be interested in other types of games or participate in a higher level of gambling, with top gamblers or fellow casino owners. I always have this feeling that they'll be focused on buying games and helping the bookmaker with football odds to place on some specific teams to maximize profits.

I say something, in our lives we go through good moments, bad moments, difficult moments, and I believe that in the most difficult moments is when the human being in general learns the most and that is a fact, we must be people who We must be aware of everything that can make a difference in what things so that we have some elevation in personal improvement, and not only in games do we face disastrous situations, and that usually look bad and worse, we are people who have to be very emphatic in things, but we could generate a lot of money, and according to that we can make mistakes, it is allowed, many companies make investments that in the end do not turn out well and they lose a lot of money, and yes it is something painful, but it is something that is always there lantet, you can't achieve everything at once, you have to suffer, you have to fight to do things like that, but in the end the best of all is learning.

When a person in the game enters and plays, he can lose, but when he is not in a very great situation, things have to be pretty good so that we can say, well, the best thing is what happened like that, and try to get over it quickly. , because if we allow a lot, we fail in something, maybe for us it hurt us, in this order of things we could say that when we are in a casino, those who lose a lot, not necessarily, are addicted gamblers or employees who we must see even badly and be careful, no, things are not like that either, they are normal people, who got out of control in some way and that is why they could not bear the losses and well, sometimes the reactions are not the expected ones, it is not among the things, then regretting playing, or having known the world of gambling games or the casino, because when we review everything, the only culprits for losing and for things going badly for us are ourselves due to the power of the decisions we make.


We don't only learn from hard situations; they shape us into stronger people. Gambling is a high-stakes psychological drama, not merely a game of chance. We're warriors in an arena where every decision and bet is a denial of odds. It's a raw, unedited lesson in managing emotions, risk, and probability, not just winning or losing.

Let's face these disastrous conditions. We're strategists fighting our impulses in a casino. Losers who lose large aren't just unlucky; they've lost control and are learning about limitations and the narrow line between enjoyment and foolishness. It's about understanding the intricate dynamics, not judging them. Each loss, each blunder, is more than just a financial setback; it's a wake-up call, a chilling reminder that in life, as in gambling, our decisions have power, and with power comes consequence.

Consistenly regretting doesnt solve a problem. Gamblers need to take action and change their condition. Life is deep and every habitat of nature need to understand that there is a price and time for everything. Most players fail to think outside gambling or try to attach the lessons from gambling house to the outside world. Or do they think that gambling doesn't offer anything meaningful to the outside world. Most people who lose in casinos are not addicted, but they may one day catch up with the trend. Because not accepting that it's possible for one to lose is a problem. When I was studying management, I realized that a team that celebrates failure, would end up becoming better, productive, and greater than a team that gets angry whenever they failed to meet a task given by the company. Same applies to gamblers who lose, if they are able to understand that lossing is a sister to winning, why would they sit back to claim another win before ending the gambling game for the day.

It'll better if the losser is able to learn from his mistakes than looking at himself as an unlucky gambler. Lose of control wouldn't allow the player to draw a line in between enjoyment and foolishness, as the aim of such people doesn't lead to such thoughts. They've got no control over their actions. The limbic structure of the brain, only triggers the urge to win more in the gamblers brain. As it's the order he's sending to his brain. Only a smart gambler who is still under control would be able to  understand that whatever outcome he gains through gambling is a lesson. I don't judge any gambler for his mistakes because of the point you made above, Slapper, gambling a psychological drama. And only a gambler who is psychologically strong would be able to win the fight with the house. Not just via making money, but in control or maintaining their emotions and win against all odds.

By doing various kinds of activities, people will not feel lonely, especially if they can do activities that connect with others. This will help them communicate with other people so that something will be created from this activity or there will even be cooperation between them. This will allow people who feel lonely never to feel lonely again because they have other activities.
The point is to never be alone and feel lonely, look for friends and do activities to have fun, there are many games out there that can be played as well as other hobbies that can be played not only in gambling, don't always think that gambling is a very fun game, there are many in this world fun games that can be played besides gambling, for example playing football or other sports activities with friends or family.

As long as it is done consistently there will be no desire to gamble because if you are alone and feel lonely there will definitely be something you want to do in gambling, for example trying to use a new strategy or something else, it's best to forget about that and do other activities to enjoy life more because gambling is not the end goal. from eliminating feelings of loneliness.

All the above fun activities you both mentioned can be achieved with the help of someone else, who the addict loves or interacts with about his gambling problem. Most of the time the gambler would suffer internally, and wouldn't want to share his problems with other people around him. They have this fear that keeps them deep into trouble and they'll start asking themselves questions like: would he be able to help me since I can't help myself? Will he blame me like everyone else did? Such a question puts the addict in a tough condition of whether to talk or remain with his problem. Mind you, these thoughts don't change the gambler by any means. While he battles with telling people, he still gambles and indulges in gambling-related activities, outside his will. So, a gambler who is privileged enough to understand this quickly can get such help, and save himself from addiction. But, truthfully, not all addicted gamblers would have friends or relatives who are kind enough to help them change.

His fears may later happen, the questions he asked himself earlier, could be true. The people he talked to wouldn't be able to help or they'll blame him for his problems. Therefore the discrimination could serve as a nitro to help the gambler move to a more crucial level of gambling addiction. We expect to see lots of suffering addicted players, due to the challenges from loved ones. I do commend gamblers who got help from their loved ones, as very lucky. It could be the person's girlfriend or brother. The only help the addict wants is for a different body to push him out of gambling addiction. Engaging in fun games can be a fast means of restoring an addicted gambler to think of a different game outside of gambling. However, he still needs supervision from his friend to keep to the promise of not moving back to gambling. Cross-addiction is very hard in gambling addiction. Hence, players need to be wary of it, as not everyone has kind, loving relatives or friends.
