In sports gambling, apart from being patient, you certainly need to analyze the club before placing a bet on it to reduce losses. Apart from that, management in placing money in each bet also really needs to be paid attention to. Being patient but still careless in placing money in each bet is also useless. Discipline and patience may be the complete package for the gambler.
Some events that happen in a match you can't possibly predict them like any of the teams getting a red card and we all know that a red card can certainly change the outcome of the game because the other team will definitely take advantage of the chance and this will definitely change the outcome to your prediction even if you have checked the stats very carefully that it should favor the supposed team with the red but due to the impact of the red card the whole thing will change so sometimes even checking if the team stats doesn't guarantee you winning.

This may be unexpected, and again this is gambling, anything can happen 😅 when it comes to this we just need to surrender and wait for the results. If this is the case, it will be difficult, maybe your patience will be in vain. At least acting rationally and patiently can increase your chances of winning. Remember, just a chance doesn't necessarily mean you'll win!

It's a game of chance that we can't predict accurately and in detail what will happen in our gambling sessions, for example in sports betting we do have the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills to achieve a satisfactory result, but still this is nothing more than a hope based on knowledge applied through analysis of a team, overall everyone will definitely choose a team that is much stronger and favored but not everyone will fully get the results that they think from the beginning.

As you said, everything is unexpected and it is not uncommon for us to see some strong teams that lose when dealing with teams that are far below them, because some things that happen on the field will really be very influential for the results at the end of the match such as for example what our friend said above about one of the teams experiencing a red card and obviously this will cause the match to run unbalanced which means the chances are getting smaller and the possibility of defeat becomes greater. So the point is that gambling is always synonymous with something that is completely unpredictable and often happens unexpectedly.

Yes it is a ridiculous thing that most gamblers do when they are new to gambling in the sense that they are still very ambitious to get the big win that they always hope and dream about, but for myself honestly I never if I spend  the entire salary that I get for working a month at the expense of full sweat just to get the money, it feels too much and  like risking my own  life because by doing so it is the same as telling myself not to eat for a whole month. Cheesy

But yes I understand that all  gamblers have different experiences as a result of the approach they take to their gambling activities and maybe you are one of those gamblers who are very excessive and aggressive in pursuit of a big win at the end of the session, but it doesn't matter because every incident will always have a lesson if you are willing to learn it and you have really felt the regret. For one thing, I hope you've felt the regret and agreed with yourself that you won't make the same mistake, after all gambling is nothing more than a playground that involves risk and there is an object in the end result that acts as a prize.
Everyone approaches gambling differently because gambling experiences can vary widely. Learning from mistakes and understanding the consequences is crucial, and it's positive that you emphasize the importance of reflection and avoiding repeated errors. It's essential to treat gambling as a form of entertainment rather than relying on it as a means of financial gain, as the element of risk is inherent in such activities.

If you continue to approach gambling with a measured mindset and learn from your experiences, it's likely that you'll maintain a healthier relationship with this form of entertainment. Remember, responsible gambling is about enjoying the activity in moderation without compromising essential aspects of your life.

Yes that's right, I also understand that everyone has different experiences in their gambling activities and all the impact they feel comes from the approach they take which is based on the understanding of each individual, of course it's true that understanding the risks in gambling is very important and should be the first point to pay attention to, as I said earlier that gambling is nothing more than a playground that involves money as capital and there is a prize object at the end of the session if you are lucky enough.

And this means that there is absolutely no certainty for the final result because after all this is gambling which means nothing more than a game of chance and this is also the reason why gambling should absolutely not be used as a place to earn. On the other hand, it is the mindset that really must be correct in this matter, understanding that gambling is a playground that does not have any element to produce because everything there is random, and this must be a concern and emphasized in consciousness so that we can become healthy and safe gamblers in the approach we take.
1283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation on: January 21, 2024, 10:01:59 PM
It's a really concerning situation when gambling is getting more and more popular and rampant and it's obvious that it's the young people or the younger generation that will play the role of potential players, players along with being victims in the end, after all gambling is an activity that has great risks and should not be taken seriously, otherwise it's clear as the OP said that this will involve many other problems coming up and one of the most dangerous is when young people are no longer interested in doing other activities such as school or work for their own interests and only want to win from their gambling dedication. On the other hand parents or teachers do have quite an influential role in this or maybe some other close people, but I think it would be easier to overcome this if the government gets involved by implementing any policy that aims to limit them, because what is worried and what is guaranteed is that the future of young people will be destroyed because of this problem.
1284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 21, 2024, 09:41:27 PM
I would appreciate my friends, relatives or relatives warning me about gambling, because I know they care about me and they don't want me to fall into gambling. For me, advice like this makes us realize that we should not be involved in gambling games. Maybe they are advising us because they see many gamblers whose lives have been ruined

Exactly, this is the main point, you can reach a conclusion from some advice that often comes to you, I understand that maybe not everyone will think like you when getting some advice or input from other people or people closest to them, because there are also those who really think that all this is a nuisance for them, but if we try to reconsider it again with common sense and rationally the fact is that their advice is the best thing to do.

Especially if it is the advice of a relative or family member because obviously they must be very concerned about your safety and have concerns that maybe if they don't advise you then you will become one of the addicted gamblers along with experiencing the bad effects of addiction. So the point is that we should really be able to consider first about any advice that comes before finally deciding, and also to minimize regret at the end when we feel that what they said before was right.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: January 21, 2024, 09:22:31 PM
Is gambling a career? I do not think so. Some people think gambling is just a game, some are entertainment, although there are also people who take gambling seriously and even make it their main income. I think they are gambling addicts. what I have really seen are gambling addicts who are hungry for money. they are even willing to borrow money just to gamble, in the end they always lose. I'm sure gambling is not a career. If this is a career or gambling industry, it could be legalized throughout the world and supported by the government. In fact, only a few casinos get permits with certain conditions.
Gambling is not a career because gambling is an activity that people do in their free time. They don't make it their main income or career, but just for fun using the money they can afford. Unfortunately, there are still many people who think that gambling can be used as a main income or career, so they gamble continuously and hope that they can make money from gambling. They should change their mindset by not making gambling a career and just having fun so that they will not lose a lot of money. And if there are still people who want to make gambling a career, let them see for themselves how it turns out. And they have the potential to become gambling addicts because making gambling a career will make them go gambling more often than other people.

We are in line, what you said is in line with the understanding I have about gambling, I really can't think and question why people think that gambling can be made into a profession or a job to earn, I would rather support the idea that you said that indeed gambling is nothing more than an activity to fill spare time when we are bored and nothing more than that, the reason? obviously because there is absolutely no certainty there and everything there is running randomly to determine the outcome, doesn't that mean the final result cannot be known? obviously, then what is their reason why they can think that this activity is productive? unknown because they are the ones who have the reason and I am sure that people who have this assumption are those who have entered the addiction phase so that they make something that makes no sense like a natural thing.

Another question is, if gambling can make money then why do so many people suffer huge losses until they lose everything? This is one of the reasons and the main point why I never thought that gambling could be made into an income, no matter where you gamble but still everything called gambling is always unpredictable about the results because everything there is random and there is no consistent victory at the end of each session.
1286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do i handle my first gambling experience on: January 21, 2024, 09:00:17 PM
Hello senior citizens and my fellow newbies gambler's, now I gat a straight forward question for you all.
How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?
What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?
How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose?
Thank you all for your helpful opinions.

A very good question my friend, I think the first thing you should prepare before entering gambling is to prepare money that you are able to account for any results, meaning that it is more advisable for you to put a small amount such as 1% - 5% of the amount of your salary income, besides that what is more important is that you really have the right and correct understanding of what gambling actually is along with the basic concepts, One of them is that you must understand that gambling is a probability activity that has absolutely no certainty whatsoever for the final result that can make you smile, therefore never put any hope in winning because everything there is random and what is worried is that you are very likely to act carelessly when you feel emotional because the final result does not match what you want, and this is also the reason why you should put the amount that you can be responsible for.

In gambling winning or losing really can't be known in advance and you will only find the answer when your session is over, my advice is when you win then don't overreact to it, maintain your awareness of the understanding that gambling is a game of chance and with this then the best decision is to cash out as soon as possible and enjoy it, Think of it as a reward for your dedication to gambling, don't take victory too seriously because this will make you act greedy, and also if you do lose then just consider the money lost as a form of game fees that you have played there, that's all.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: January 21, 2024, 08:41:44 PM
The game of gambling isn't something that people with low patience can survive be it the different types of gambling @sports betting  @casino games like dice and slots, patience is still the key to survive. Sometimes anxiousness and anxiety can make a gambler take decision that he might end up regretting.

Today I experience this ill feeling although am okay now but I thought I should share my experience and thought with some of the gamblers here to see if we are on the same page.

I made a very wrong decision on a game I staked today and this is unlike me because I don't normally check on my games until its settled because sometimes you will tempted with some crazy things like cash-out which is what I did today and although you won't blame me to some extent but still if I was patient enough as the final results if the games came through and Instead of winning the whole money, I got only a fraction of the funds.
It's almost impossible for you to advise a gambler to be patient, a person that gamble's wants to double his money in multiple folds, if he is a patient person in nature, then he probably wouldn't have been a gambler in the first place. In other words, if you advise individuals to be a healthy gamblers then that's more resourceful.
Catching out isn't a bad idea, you can be patient to get the full amount of your stake and the games might not go the way you predicted it to be, it is called gambling for a reason, so you better not be greedy so you don't end up blaming yourself.

It makes sense what you said, as you said and it makes sense that most gamblers come with the reason of wanting to multiply something that they bring, and when they see something like an opportunity then there will be absolutely no patience that plays a role there because it is a good opportunity according to them to take in order to achieve the goal of winning that they want from the beginning, And also on the other hand if the gamblers have good patience then I think it's less likely for them to end up with addiction, but the fact is that the number of gamblers who enter the addiction phase is increasing, it's because they can't hold their emotions and can't control themselves so that means patience is one of the things that is always ignored.

I'm pretty skeptical that they can really be patient if the initial goal is to win, even if you have pretty good patience in terms of waiting for the final result but honestly like I said above I doubt if you can be patient when the final result is not what you want, because it's clear that their goal of gambling is to win which means there are expectations that they carry that will make them feel disappointed if it doesn't match what you want, I think this idea of applying patience would make more sense if you gamble without the goal of winning.
1288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 21, 2024, 08:16:04 PM
As a wife, opening up and informing your partner that you have involved in gambling does not seem appropriate. Most men would perceive it as a sign of desperation and risky behavior caused by their expectations of the best from their spouses, rather than random women who gamble as another source of money. Facts: Most men consider women who gamble to be idle and lazy; perhaps they have no right to evaluate any activity because the women in issue are grown enough to know what they want; anything that makes you happy, do it.
It's okay if the wife tells her husband that she also gambles. But a wife should be able to see when her husband is not busy and relaxing so they can chat about many things. It will also increase the closeness between the two of them so that there will be an interesting discussion between them. Maybe initially, the husband could not accept his wife's explanation, which was normal because if the husband gambled and told his wife about it, his wife would definitely do the same. So that's only natural. The wife can explain more about why she gambles to her husband, and the wife should be honest with her so that her husband does not get too angry. The wife can also say that as long as she gambles, she can be responsible well, and maybe later, her husband will ask her just to stop gambling because there are serious impacts behind gambling. And if the husband asks the wife to stop gambling, the wife must obey him and not indulge her ego because it is their household.

Good point,  timing is a factor when discussing complicated things like gambling,  though we are already in an Era where gambling is no longer a big deal,  there's still a chance that your partner will not agree with what you are dealing with, but if you put it in the position where  both your mood is in the same place, you can use it as opportunity to discuss things where you and your partner  can openly provide your sentiment regarding to what you wanted him to realize.

Good communication helps not to increase  risk but instead  it will serves as a safe guard when you deal things the right way.

But in my opinion, the negative point of view of the community on gambling will still persist and most likely this negative point of view will continue to persist until an unspecified time, because obviously the risk of gambling will still be there and this is what the couple is afraid of, namely when the gambling committed by one of their partners is no longer helped over time or in the sense that it has entered the phase of chronic addiction, the impact will be felt by all family members there.

On the other hand, I agree that communication is indeed one of the good approaches in terms of maintaining good family relationships, having good communication along with being able to balance a good mindset between the two parties will be useful for solving any problems that occur in the relationship, and on the other hand I really hope that they will be able to consider gambling activities from various sides, especially in terms of adverse effects and discuss rationally to find the best decision.
1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Higher and lower risks in gambling is the gamblers choice. on: January 21, 2024, 06:58:00 PM


And the lower risks you takes on your predictions is the smaller the game odds which you may demand higher stakes to secure an appreciative winning. Although there is still no assurance of winning here for winning in gambling is strictly game of luck.

This is all about you either faces your fears and ready to accept what it brings or you withdraws from your fears and minimizes the threats outcomes.


Your character plays out with whatever decision you make in casinos if you have a strong character and can take losses and risks you are likely to go all out with your bets, but if you have a weak character you will try to have a safe bet and cash out with whatever amount there is.

A good gambler plays and decides based on what he is comfortable doing, there should be no pressure or regret about what he did, in the first place we are gambling to enjoy and have fun, our gambling experience whether we play it online or offline casinos should be hassle and stress-free, we have so many stress in our lives and casino is an entertainment platform and casinos is a place where we turn to, to take out these stress and depression.

It's all a choice and I hope that whoever it is will be able to choose a decision that is really based on a good consideration of common sense, because most of the time I see gamblers they take a large level of risk but without any consideration at the beginning before making a decision so that there is absolutely no responsibility in their involvement until the final result is actually answered, and usually this is what makes gamblers act out of control because they cannot be responsible for whatever will happen at the end of the session.

No matter how big and how small the risk you want to take is basically all up to you and depends on yourself whether you are able or not to accept the reality at the end of the session, if indeed you are able to even go ahead and do not let you create decisions that will only trap yourself, in the sense of making decisions that are not considered with common sense which in the end makes yourself emotional and act out of control. Emotion is one of the driving forces that usually leads to disappointment, and yes it is true that this activity is basically just for leisure to get some entertainment when you are bored, and should not be taken seriously.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: January 21, 2024, 06:37:33 PM
If you are a gambler then the responsibility is must needed. Without being responsible in gambling sector do you think you can stay in it. Ahh it's impossible because you have to think about money management risk management. If you are responsible in it then you can do anything from gambling. Be responsible be a successful gambler.

Of course it is true, because indeed responsibility has a big influence in gambling activities, one of which is by putting a small amount that does not matter if in the end it is lost, we will never know whether at the end of the session we will win or lose again, and the other thing is that if we do not have good responsibility in gambling then obviously usually this is the starting point for someone to fall into the addiction phase with the initial scenario of not being able to accept defeat at the end of the session after which they put a larger budget amount which in fact this action will only make the situation worse with the amount of your loss which will be even greater.

On the other hand I'm sure all gamblers don't want to end up with addiction because this is the highest point gamblers experience in their lives due to the impact of wrong gambling, one of the impacts as we know that financial balance will be lost even to make you run out of all the valuable assets you have and end up with a person who has absolutely nothing. Therefore, being a responsible gambler is more advisable because this is a healthy approach that can keep us safe.
1291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The worst situation you're in that you regret that you learn about gambling on: January 21, 2024, 06:08:48 PM
The worst experience in gambling was spending my entire salary and planning to double the money, as usual I only played as much as I could, but I thought about using my entire salary to gamble, and I suffered a lot within a month looking for loans from friends and relatives to get it. there is money to buy food every day and it is very embarrassing for me, I will not repeat the same mistake

Yes it is a ridiculous thing that most gamblers do when they are new to gambling in the sense that they are still very ambitious to get the big win that they always hope and dream about, but for myself honestly I never if I spend  the entire salary that I get for working a month at the expense of full sweat just to get the money, it feels too much and  like risking my own  life because by doing so it is the same as telling myself not to eat for a whole month.

1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: January 21, 2024, 05:48:14 PM
the only advice I can give to anyone in such situations is to make sure you have a set amount and limits to how much you gamble or spend on sport bets and the numbers of bets you select each time you doing so, this is very important and at some point very crucial for the overall well being of the gambler who thinks that he cant handle his gambling time, because alot of gamblers can't handle themselves without have a guidelines that guide their actions at some point in time.

So for a safe time while gambling or betting, you need to have a set rules and limited timing on how much you spend on those bets this is the only to stay ahead of every possible possibilities of resulting into an addict in the long run.
making your own rules about all the best limits and managing your budget as best as possible is very necessary in gambling because only in this way can a gambler avoid addiction or the bad effects of greed.
Indeed, it will not be as easy as we imagine to manage finances and obey our own rules regarding the limits that have been set, but as long as you are willing to try it, you will definitely get used to it and will easily understand the right time to stop gambling and will easily save your budget.

I really support the advice you give because this is one of the best ways to be a healthy gambler and stay safe.

Your statement is very good and I am one of those people who share your point of view about gambling, to be honest I don't care what kind of gambling you are involved in whether it's pure luck or some sports betting which does require some skill and knowledge to be able to increase the percentage of winning chances to be closer, but that's not the point. One thing and as you said that self-control along with some other limitations are very important in gambling and I think all gamblers should not ignore this point.

I understand all of them want a winning situation to increase the amount of wealth possible, but doesn't everything have to be balanced? What I mean is that you are not advised to only focus on one side in gambling such as the chances of winning because the possibility of losing is also something that should not be ignored, you must have a formula to minimize the risk of losing in addition to the goal of getting a win because the risk of addiction cannot be completely avoided. Yes, it is true that it is not easy to do so but I think that if they have a proper understanding of gambling, it should not be difficult for them to implement many precautions because all of this is also for their own safety, of course, responsible gamblers are healthy gamblers who can keep themselves away from potential addiction.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: January 21, 2024, 05:24:53 PM
You are very right, if we win a large enough nominal amount, we can restore our own situation, especially financially, by making the best use of the winnings and using the winning money with extraordinary benefits, for example creating real business capital, which really helps someone's finances, but if they put their fate back into gambling, I think it will be in vain

But always remember that it is not a very good decision to plan with gambling winnings because such hope can be dashed at the instant of losing and that will set you back more than you were as you would have used your initial capital to gamble and calculating, while waiting for potential winning to show real. Most people who have been planning with gambling money have not been succeeding because they put all hope in it but gambling profit comes as luck.

Yes I agree with your idea, basically putting hope in a win at the end of the session will only make you feel excessive disappointment, why? obviously the reason is because in gambling there is absolutely no certainty and any guarantee for gamblers to get a win, putting hope is also one of the starting points or causes of someone ending up with addiction, I can already confirm that you have the wrong approach to gambling just by looking at the way you do it.

Believe me that this idea will only make the situation worse, you really have to change your mindset and point of view on gambling by getting back to understanding everything correctly, first you have to understand that gambling runs randomly in determining who will win in one of the sessions and this is also quite dependent on the luck you have, and the second is that it means absolutely no certainty and guarantee of anything to earn. The fear is that eventually you will not be able to accept the final result that does not match your expectations and after that you will usually act out of control based on emotions such as putting a larger amount to catch up with the loss, and this is one of the approaches taken by gamblers who will end up with addiction.
1294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 21, 2024, 05:04:08 PM
I think what we mean by the phrase about stopping is that a person should get time to think about his profits and losses. This is a very important thing, for example, a long series of losses indicates that our strategies are becoming inadequate for the reality in which we find ourselves. Perhaps something has changed in the world or in the game. Some trends have emerged that we do not take into account. These may even be seasonal trends, but even these are very important. It is possible that there is something wrong with our psyche. Sometimes you need to take time to stop and think for a while. Maybe we should even meditate. You know, people who find themselves in a long streak of failures begin to meditate intuitively.

Yes, this is intended to emphasize preventive measures, I am sure that all gamblers will never want to lose or suffer losses, but unfortunately most gamblers cannot pay more attention to preventive measures so how can they possibly minimize the risk of losing if basically they always ignore some precautions. Of course that's true, and I think in gambling there is nothing more important than precautions.

In fact, you can win at any time in a certain amount if you are lucky enough, but what is more certain is that you are very likely to experience consecutive losses if you cannot control everything and also apply good limits and self-control. However, being a healthy gambler in gambling activities is better than those who are too aggressive and end up addicted, all of this is for your own interests and safety too, because since we don't do it then who will? This means that other people will never care about what we experience in the gambling activities that we do, and maybe they will only come when we are lucky by getting a winning amount.
1295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to ride and stop! on: January 20, 2024, 06:52:51 PM
The strategy is quite complicated, but for me the time to gamble is when the time I set for gambling has run out and or the balance I budgeted has run out, for the matter of increasing bets on gambling I think it's relative, and talking about the possibility of winning streaks to test the water I never pay attention to it, but sometimes when my gambling situation experiences an increase in winnings, I always increase the amount of bets, and vice versa in whatever type of gambling I play.

As long as I get pleasure from gambling, I don't really pay attention to strategy, although getting a win does provide satisfying pleasure, but I understand it will make me crazy if it continues with the thought of winning.  
A gambler must know when a gambler should stop gambling but there may be some reasons why some people continue gambling even after knowing. Addicted gamblers do this and those who lose while gambling try to gamble more in an attempt to recover that money. I stop my bets when I win big in gambling. Also, I try to refrain from gambling even when I run out of a certain amount of budget. I sometimes try to change my gambling strategy by considering my bankroll. But the point is that I can't always gamble within the rules. Sometimes i fail to follow the rules properly despite knowing.

I think one of the more definite reasons why they find it difficult to stop is because they pin their hopes on winning at the end of the session so they will never stop before getting the win they want, but the fact is more than this, namely even if the gambler manages to get the win they want. they  want but there are still other possibilities that they can do and one of them is applying greed to situations like that, which means they want to win a much larger amount, and this is a gambler who is addicted, whatever the situation they really don't will never be able to be grateful for what they get.

Simply put, when they win they will be greedy and when they lose they will become more curious  because they are unable to accept reality, and in most cases usually the people who are unable to accept defeat are those who end up gambling based on emotions by chasing something. which has been lost. This is why we are always advised to be responsible gamblers by only placing an amount of money that we can afford, because this is what can minimize all possible risks that are much greater, this method does not always work but I hope we remain consistent and firm. because with this you will get used to implementing many restrictions for your own good.
1296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 20, 2024, 06:19:57 PM

I think that would be worth it, surely a guy can understand as long as you don't gambling what is meant to be for future use. You're in marriage and for sure you'll understand that everything you do is surely involve the other half, that's what my parents doesn't tired to tell me. Gambling or not, opening something will mean respect and honesty.
The question why is that, why would a woman that is already married decided to gamble? What would have triggered her interest to indulge in gambling? This not a bad ethics and I would never support that. If it is in a case of a single mother, I could concluded that she needed money to take care of her child. In a case when she has an husband, it looks absurd and not a good lifestyle. Society sees women gambling as irresponsible especially in a region where their is no much of internet influence. Anyone can decide to do whatever they like but not in a case where they wife would be gambling and the husband does not know about it.
There are instances that it has been with her when she was single then decided to quit when got married but that wouldn't be erased instantly and that urge her to gamble again. Or, just for leisure purposes considering her (the OP) seems to be in control of what she does. If it's online gambling I can attest that even my close relatives do it and they're just plain housewives, nothing much to do in free time seems to be their way to pass the time or to try their luck.

Yes, as many people say, it is not easy to stop gambling activities, even if for example you have stopped and managed not to touch gambling for some time, there are still memories and feelings of curiosity that can be an encouragement for you to try your luck again. and finally everything returns to the initial situation where you will start to have difficulty again stopping or ignoring the activity even though your goal is only for recreation.

Online gambling gives all gamblers the freedom and convenience to get involved whenever and wherever they are and of course I can confirm the statement you made that housewives usually have more time at home because their work is not too heavy and does not require a lot of time to complete. homework, therefore it is possible that when they are already in a boring situation without any activities they have the possibility to try their luck, I think this is a possibility that has quite big potential.

I'm not an often sports gambler, I'll bet when I see a decent opportunity, with low openings for error. There's no guaranteed bet for sure, but I prefer going for safer options, betting for the teams I deem as superior and more likely to win.

Personally, I believe that the lower the risk isn't necessarily the best technique. For instance, in the crash game, withdrawing at x1.10 multiplier is far worse than winning a few games with larger multipliers. A win with a 2x multiplier will outperform multiple wins at 1.10x, and it's something I've experienced myself. The risk is actually much lower aiming for 2x.
Agree with you that taking low risk is not a good gambling strategy. For those who want to enjoy gambling and earn profit from it, there is definitely no alternative to take risk. At the beginning of gambling I thought I could gradually increase my bankroll by taking less risk but that was wrong because after I won a few matches in a row with low skate bets, when I lost a match I lost all my winnings and I had additional losses. If one likes to bet he must take risks. I research before taking a bet and then take the risk. If I lose, I don't regret it because I assume that I will lose there.

Your statements and ideas advise gamblers to take much bigger risks in order to win big, I would ask if that will really pay off? we have to agree that gambling is about the chance of winning and the risk of losing where there is never any certainty about the final result, and if you put a large amount of money with the aim of getting a big win then what if it turns out that at the end of the session you lose, isn't the amount of the loss much higher? bigger than you put in a small amount? Obviously this is a possibility that could happen at any time.

Therefore there is absolutely no other best advice apart from always using a small budget amount or essentially an amount that you can afford to be responsible for losing at the end of the session, gambling is not a place to make money because there is absolutely no certainty or guarantee of being able to win, even if you Having good enough skills and knowledge, there is still an element of loss in gambling if luck doesn't come at the same time, therefore prevention is always the best thing than cure.

Winning is all about luck cause if a gambler is very unlucky then he or she can't win what ever he do. But if he is lucky enough then he can have unexpected winning but I'd the game is more on analysis then there's a chance that the knowledgeable has a big advantages while those Little knowledge is have small chances of winning. One gamblers must have a good mindset that they must use the their exist money in order to prevent addiction cause the more they use all their money then greediness will conquer themselves.

And luck is something that is beyond human control, no one will ever know when they will be lucky enough to win and this is why more people experience defeats than wins because it is very difficult to be lucky in a row. That is why it is better for us to focus on applying boundaries and self-control because basically it is useless if you focus too much on winning but luck is always difficult for you, but in the end you will lose.

If you are involved in sports gambling then yes I understand that your knowledge and skills are needed there because it can increase your chances of winning closer, but still you should not be too confident and raise your expectations because after all the luck factor is still in play. need there, it's like a combination of skill and luck to produce victory, but as I said above, what is always the problem is that we never know when we will be lucky. Of course, as you said, gamblers must have a good mindset by understanding the concept of gambling, with this, I think they will not dare to act recklessly, such as chasing victory for something that basically has no certainty.

Honestly, I have experienced a situation like this when I could still be said to be quite new to the world of gambling and didn't really understand what gambling actually was, especially about the chances of winning and possible risks. At that time I worked at a goods delivery place and I had the task of being someone who was responsible for delivering goods to consumers. Every day I sent ordered goods to the people who ordered them and in short there were several people who paid by making transfers via account because they do not have fiat money. Long story short, some money went into my personal account which was basically company money that I received from people who ordered goods, after that one of my friends bragged about the big win he got from gambling on a type of slot machine and in the end I was really tempted and gambled with that money with the same belief expressed by the OP that I could win from a large multiplier.

But in the end, maybe you already know what happened to me, all the company's money disappeared in an instant and that really made me unable to say anything and just contemplating in the corner. This is one of the incidents that traumatized me in my gambling involvement which also ultimately made me not dare to use other people's money to gamble just based on beliefs that may not necessarily be in accordance with reality, however this is a good lesson and I hope we can be more careful - Be careful in every decision you make.

If there's someone who cares for them who can make them realize how much time and money that they already consuming from their gambling might help them to cope up and try to restart thier mindsets, I guess this follows the rules which self-will can be back up by those people who really aiming to help and trying to make sure that you are going to be fine when you try to resolve this kind of a situation while playing.

Being too deep into gambling can result to a much bigger problem, you need to re-assess everything once you have this kind of situation, it can develop awareness and good decision making when tough time already beside you, you just need someone to boost your will to process the right way.

But overall I honestly can't say that helping a gambler to change his approach to his gambling activities is an easy thing, this is very difficult to do because an addicted gambler already has a belief that they think is right, I understand that this is a good action to help an addict to get out of his wrong mindset in dealing with gambling, if you advise them too much to change their habits and beliefs in a better and logical direction then I think this will only make everything end in a fight, you will be considered as a person who is too interfering with other people's affairs.

On the other hand, of course I agree with your idea that getting too deep into gambling will only make us suffer more and get stuck in a cycle of downturn that will never end, but on the other hand I can't be sure that suggestions or some actions suggested by others can fully help a gambler to make changes and for this problem I believe that change or recovery will succeed if it is accompanied by a desire based on the gambler's own awareness.

No doubt, as everything should begin with the gambler itself, even how hard you try to help the person without his will to change his direction, nothing will happen about it. I agree with what you mentioned that if you push hard in providing your guidance and concern, you might be called out as interfering with their freedom to do whatever they want and think that they are doing better, a kind of mindset where a gambler thinks that he's good and there's nothing wrong with whatever he's doing and handling his gambling activities.

It's hard and also a complicated situation indeed, as even how concerned you are, there's always a negative impression that may take in the side of that person that you are trying to help.

Yes, of course, and this is also one of the reasons why it is very difficult to cure gamblers from addiction. If people say that they have difficulty curing someone who is addicted, whether it is someone else or one of their friends, then that means it is a gambling addict who wants to they cure are people  who absolutely do not want to stop their gambling activities, as I said before that basically this is a good action and leads to much better changes but in terms of achieving success it will not be as easy as turning the palm of your hand.

And also yes, I think it is a logical idea that if we push too hard on advice or assistance like this, even though it leads to good things, it is possible that in the end the gambling addict will feel uncomfortable and they will say that we are interfering too much with their freedom. they are choices, and this means that sometimes even though we care too much about other people there are still some people who don't want to accept help from other people because as I said, gambling addicts are those who have the wrong mindset in gambling but they think that what they doing it is not wrong, all this happens because they  have not been able to reach the level of awareness in their common sense. Maybe we  can only wait for their awareness to emerge, usually it will appear if they have experienced adversity that really makes them feel traumatized.
