1281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [A POLL] Without Chances of Making Money, Will you still be gambling? on: January 05, 2024, 03:38:39 AM
interesting question but I also have a question again that if indeed gambling no longer has a chance of returning our money from winnings maybe it is not called gambling but just a video game and will never ask customers to deposit a certain amount of money but only provide free coins for gambling. does what I think make sense?  Roll Eyes

It's no wonder that in the end more people will choose to stop gambling if the opportunity to return money is no longer valid in gambling and that makes perfect sense because why should we waste money without any certainty and if they are just having fun they will definitely choose other alternatives such as playing video games.
and for me personally, even though I gamble just for fun, I still hope to win because after all, if I bet with money and the chance of winning is low, I definitely won't be able to have the budget to gamble again, whereas every time I win, I will definitely use it again to gamble the next day. will come but even if for example it does happen maybe I will still come and bet but not more than $1.
1282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you see a gambling review website that has its own gambling website? on: January 05, 2024, 03:19:52 AM
review site but having their own gambling site, almost every experienced person will definitely avoid it because if a gambling site has very good reviews while the reviews are from the same owner it will definitely give a lot of doubts and questions whether the reviews are genuine from other people or just manipulation of the reviews alone?
well, of course it is very rare for a review site to have its own gambling site which in the end will only cover its own reputation and will definitely get few customers because in this case it is unnatural.

from most of the replies I read they also said the same thing that never go to a casino that has its own review site and choose on another gambling that has genuine reviews from real customers like on this forum.
1283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you win? on: January 05, 2024, 03:04:54 AM
Maybe anyone can decide to share his game and let those interested to should pick and play on their favorite gambling site, with this help we all can win together, the most important thing should be that everyone understand the gambling rules and for that can only bet with whatever they can afford to lose. If any game is posted by any reputable user here that does not mean that such person is 100% correct and hence shouldn't go bet with their entire life savings, the point is we should be able to carry this mindset that whatever may happen at the point of betting we might win or lose.
the word I marked is what makes me think a little if you say about someone who shares betting predictions and we do together betting on the same match to win together it will be very difficult whereas this gambling is about luck even though it is done in sports betting we will still receive the surprise of the opposing team making a comeback and that is sometimes the reason other gamblers dont like to share their predictions because it is full of risk and they dont want other people to follow their predictions and it will be bad in the long run because if they lose other people will definitely blame the predictions that have been made share.

and regarding the entire content of the topic, I only bet whenever I have a budget that I can use to gamble, exactly once a week and I almost never follow prediction channels or whatever and prefer to bet with independent predictions without having to look at other people's predictions because for me something analysis or predictions produced by yourself give a sense of satisfaction even if you only win 2 times a week, but in my opinion it is much better because you feel satisfied with the results of your independent analysis.

regarding other people who have difficulty in terms of trying to bet on sports betting and trying to join prediction channels or can join prediction sites as suggested by other people and from there bettors can definitely predict the chances of winning that they will get.
1284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's Your Feeling After You Finish Gambling. on: January 04, 2024, 05:30:43 PM
Yup, it's true, but no matter how much we want to, we can't really say or avoid what we shouldn't do when it comes to gambling, there are many things that are hard to explain that even the gambler himself doesn't know what he feels. even if they want to follow the advice from other people, they can't do it and they have a hard time controlling themselves. They are aware that they may be becoming addicted to gambling, it's just that we only have our own timeline for how long it will take us to overcome the addiction.
We can still advise the person not to get too deep into gambling, especially if he can feel the consequences because he has experienced it before. He should also be able to realize that what he did was wrong and must be corrected by not doing it again. Maybe he will find it difficult to immediately stop his gambling activities so he can try to reduce his gambling activities first while trying to do other things that can divert his mind. If they can do this, they can reduce their gambling activities and will not be too dependent on gambling to get pleasure because they already have other things that can give them pleasure. Moreover, he can save his money to use it for other needs or just save it for the future.
giving advice to other people is fine, but we also have to look at the situation that other people are experiencing because sometimes a gambler experiences feelings of regret when you come to give advice, it will definitely end badly and you could even be blamed, but if you give advice to other people, when their feelings of regret have disappeared, it will be the best advice for them because we care about that person, it will definitely be assumed that there are still people who care and are more enthusiastic about not repeating their mistakes again.

feelings of regret after gambling are usually experienced by gamblers and this general thing cannot be avoided, especially if the loss of money is too big, the feeling of regret is greater and difficult to get rid of. however, strangely enough, when the person can control himself not to repeat same mistake and gets big win, he will start to forget everything he has done and immediately winning gives him pleasure, then losing again gives him a deeper feeling of regret and can even give him a feeling of regret negative effects such as depression or stress.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale betting system on: January 04, 2024, 09:30:33 AM
now I want to ask a question about your statement that you must have large funds, how large an amount do you mean?
what I know from my experience is that the martingale strategy will never be recommended by anyone unless you have an unlimited money budget because if we just say you have to have a big budget it will still never work because luck is still an important role here and it also depends on how much the bet to be used.
I once tried this in a roulette game with basic bets, tried with the smallest bet amount and it seemed like luck was not on my side and losing streaks always happened and the budget I had was not enough to carry out this martingale strategy.

I'm sure even though I haven't read all the replies here but they will say the same thing that this strategy is not recommended.
1286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: January 04, 2024, 07:56:19 AM
that's clear, because most people who gamble are of course chasing victory and everyone who gambles also wants a big win because that is the goal of all gamblers, but for that or to beat the opponent (host) I don't think it will be easy to conquer, because in Generally the host will always win, because it is almost impossible for anyone to beat the host who plays the main role in gambling matters, even if there are experienced gamblers I don't think they will easily beat the host.
In my opinion, with the large number of people who carry out these impulsive actions, they must be aware that what they are doing is wrong, if they are not continuously aware of it then it is possible that they will continue to have difficulties in the future and sooner or later this can damage their mental and psychological health, and if This has happened because they are addicted to gambling. Of course, this is not a good thing, because not only financial losses, health and other things will be affected by gambling addiction, so you should be aware that excessive gambling is not good, as much as possible. maybe don't become addicted to gambling because it's not a good thing.
It's not surprising and most gamblers will not be hypocritical and will say that we gamble for a win, just dont overdo it like chasing losses or chasing wins. this is one mistake for gamblers and it is not recommended to do this repeatedly because it is definitely in the long run. can have an addictive effect.
well, that's why I often say that you should gamble responsibly by setting limits on yourself not to fall into the trap of chasing victory and I fully support your statement that whatever efforts you make will never be able to beat the house edge because this is a gambling business in its own right. it works and we can gamble comfortably and safely without losing too much money if we understand all that because we will always lose so use small amounts to not give too much into gambling.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Navigating the World of Online Gambling on: January 04, 2024, 07:30:12 AM

Many gamblers want to win at gambling, but not many can win. That is why if someone starts to lose control of himself, he must immediately stop himself so as not to experience more defeats. He must be able to use gambling as entertainment because gambling aims to provide entertainment to everyone who gambles. But unfortunately, not everyone can understand this and instead get deeper into gambling because they want to get big wins from gambling. The attitude and mindset of gamblers like that must be changed as soon as possible before things get worse because it will impact their lives and those around them.
I think this is all due to the impact of growing online gambling business as well as the many advertisements and influencers who promote gambling and show big wins or big bonuses.
with all this, many people are tempted to try gambling without having any basis or not even understanding how gambling works, just an instant thought to try gambling in the hope getting bonus or winning and from this case many novice gamblers always ignore small but unfortunate things. you need to pay attention to controlling yourself and not chasing losses.

however, I'm not blaming the development of the online gambling business, I'm just telling you about cases of many gamblers who have lost control, as you said, have the desire to always win but dont think about the risks they will face after their entire budget is used up.
gambling should indeed be considered entertainment that must be paid with a small amount, but gamblers who have already lost control find it difficult to think about positive things such as gambling responsibly and even almost lose control because currently online gambling is very easy to access from anywhere which can provide stronger incentive to lose self control.
1288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: January 04, 2024, 07:05:18 AM
If a parent is too addicted on playing gambling, he should consider his children's future by not showing them bad habits loosely like any other parent does these days. He should be hiding himself because he can't afford for his children to become addicted like him and he can't take the pressure just like I once watched a documentary where a child is also addicted along with his mom and he often beat his mom in order to take money from her even until she grows older. So this is a big problem and he really needs to avoid it in order to save himself from great humiliation and make his children successful in their future.
If parents consider their child's future, they will definitely not be addicted or even engage in gambling activities because as an adult, if they have awareness about this, they will definitely do their best even if they have to stop gambling.
well, if as you mentioned, when a parent is addicted, it is certain that he as a parent does not think about his child's future because when it comes to gambling, he cannot control his desire to gamble, in fact it is very bad to become addicted and believe me, parents who are addicted to gambling will never be able to think about his child's future and only think about gambling, it doesn't even matter if he as a parent gambles in front of his child or not, all he wants is to gamble.

so it is very difficult for parents who are already addicted to have a positive mindset considering their child's future is very difficult and if you really want your child to have a good future as a parent you have to set a good example in a simple way, dont do negative things that you don't want he likes it.
1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in "Enhanced RTP" in some slots? on: January 04, 2024, 06:40:59 AM
I believe if I get maxwin win from the game but I won't believe it if I lose.  Roll Eyes

TBH, I might sometimes believe in Enhanced RTP when each spin has a return that is almost the same as that presented previously. but I think this still depends on luck because not all slot games that have Enhanced RTP have a big chance of winning, it's just that as far as I know this will not affect the chance of winning but it affects the returns for every spin we do and I often dont get anything from the slot games that are played enhanced RTP despite losing my entire budget.

and sometimes I get a win from the game but it's still not a maxwin, just very small win after getting the free spins.
but I've seen my friends in types of games that have Enhanced RTP often get free spins but the result is still the same, never getting a maxwin.
In fact, I often play slot games without Enhanced RTP and often get maxwin. I'm sure it just about luck.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: January 04, 2024, 06:16:41 AM
Yes, they are continuing to gambling online because they are "winning" which can be consider as a bad thing since it can lead to gambling addiction. Gambling could be considered as investment for some people as their spare money could be doubled or tripled by winning, and of course they are aware of the risk of losing as well. These young people have tasted the sweet victory of gambling and would want more, the greed will follows as they keep gambling, they would suffer a big loss and they would never stop as they would try to recover their losses. I mean they can stop themselves into gambling as they are limited with funds since they don't have money sources like income or salary, but eventually they would try to comeback hoping to win or recover.
winning is always the main factor for an addicted gambler because feeling an excessive sensation of pleasure will increase the dopamine hormone in our brain and everything turns very bad when the gambler cannot control himself or control his emotions of pleasure which will always provide a high risk if it can be done in the long term.

honestly, I don't really like someone who considers gambling part of an investment because this is something that carries the risk of losing money, and someone can even lose large amounts of money in just a few minutes. maybe rich people can consider this as an investment, but if you really want to invest, it's better to use your money in other investments that have a lower risk because gambling is not for profit and is just for fun without expecting a big win and if you win big, we can get it is just part of the bonuses given to us.

and regarding gamblers who chase losses, this is just a wrong mindset because they dont understand that chasing losses is the same as losing large amounts of money because as I said before, gambling is just a slightly luxurious entertainment and we won't win as long as we're not lucky.
1291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the tension make you take risk that are sometimes worth it? on: January 04, 2024, 05:53:36 AM
I never take risky decisions or gamble when I have any pressure and if I feel that pressure I would rather avoid anything that is high risk as gambling is one the risky activities. It is not recommended for anyone to take risks under any pressure because there will be a lot risks involved and for me it not worth it.
we should consider gambling as entertainment, but if we have pressure, why should we force ourselves to gamble when this outside the scenario of being a bettor. I mean, if you are under pressure, why would you force yourself to keep gambling and take any risks when you know that the results you get are definitely not worth it when you are unlucky?

Its a bit strange but I appreciate your statement because even though there are so many gamblers who do this because they are pressured by something they have to force themselves to gamble but remember that anyone here  not advised to gamble under pressure or just gamble under duress.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?
the reason someone blames gambling or thinks gambling is bad is because they only see it from one side, namely the negative impact, so people judge that gambling is just a bad activity and for someone who regrets gambling and losing, it's their own fault for not understanding deeply how gambling works.
both of these cases both start from a lack of understanding how gambling works, such as someone who thinks gambling is bad because they dont understand how gambling works, it's just entertainment that must be bought with the little money they can afford to spend, and for gamblers who regret when they lose, if they understand how gambling work they will never regret because he should buy pleasure in gambling using small money without having to spend large amounts because winning is not a guarantee.

If everyone could understand how gambling works, they would never say anything about the evils of gambling and gambling is never wrong because this business was established only to provide a place to have fun and we as customers are responsible for all the risks we take and one of them is losing money is one of the risks. If people understand this, they will definitely not gamble in large amounts and only use small amounts, which will never give them any problems when they lose and will not think that gambling is bad.
the conclusion is simply about responsibility.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shared games helped you before? on: January 04, 2024, 04:52:00 AM
It seems like you have answered all the doubts about your question that it's all about luck, even if you try several times, even for days, if you're not lucky, you definitely won't get that big of a win and it all also depends on what type of game you play.
for example, you have bought lottery tickets several times, even bought large amounts for almost a month but never got a big win, but your neighbor just bought 10 lottery tickets and got a very big jackpot. well, from here it can be concluded that the type of game you play also influences your chances of winning and the main factor is luck.

and on the one hand you dont need to think like that because in gambling you dont have hopes like winning, even though I'm not a hypocrite who wants to win either, but dont ever hope too much in gambling because whatever you bet on won't necessarily produce something big if the bad day comes you.

I have experienced this so many times that I can barely count it in slot games when a close friend said, keep pressing the spin button and you will definitely get maxwin, but I decided to stop and my friend got maxwin. In this case, I never regret it because I really understand that slot games are luck based games, so no matter how much I try, if I'm not lucky, I won't be able to win.
1294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: January 04, 2024, 03:45:04 AM
this condition often occurs in most gamblers' minds and is very common. I support your statement that this condition will indeed occur in gamblers who have experienced wins before and always say what you say.
even though if he can win using $1k that is already his luck because even if he uses $5k it doesn't necessarily mean he will be lucky because it's all about luck on that day. this is like regretting without thinking about the long term because if you bet $1k, you probably won't have to bear the heavy burden of regret, but if you use $5k but lose, regret will definitely put pressure on your mind and make your mind confused which can have bad impacts such as regret and want to chase losses.

I never do that because after I have full control over my gambling activities, every time I bet, I always estimate the amount I can afford to lose so as not to get disappointed in the long run.
what is certain is that whatever we get today or yesterday is luck that we have got and we have to appreciate the victory even though our minds sometimes say that if we bet bigger, that doesn't necessarily mean that luck will come. respecting money is the key.

It seems like you have answered it yourself and you said that lottery is based on luck.

what I know, even though I rarely or never buy lottery tickets, is that this type of gambling is actually based on pure luck, even though some people believe that mathematics or whatever can increase the chances of getting the jackpot. but I have never believed anyone who said that winning streaks in lottery betting types, even as in the article, winning 14 times is a very ridiculous thing.
let's look at the many gamblers who buy lottery tickets for several months or even years and never get the jackpot because it's about pure luck and from what I said it is proof that the 14 consecutive winning streak in the lottery is just a myth. unless maybe he is a former gambling employee and knows a loophole to get the jackpot.
1296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: January 03, 2024, 04:44:51 PM
Sometimes, it's really us who make our lives much harder than it should be. Some players have this kind of mindset that they keep on being stubborn because they haven't experienced bad thing yet. Instead of learning from the mistakes of other people, they rather experience it first-hand to know the harsh reality. Perhaps it's really a matter of perspective and how discipline you are. Some have an attitude problem which makes their ego their priority instead of what's practical. So they take things on their own way which turns out to be difficult and wrong in some ways. They'll only listen once something happened, but by then, you can no longer turn back time, so regret and wishful thinking is often present after the worse events. So it's really on you if you want to make it easier or you want to suffer in gambling.
everything will be bad if it is done excessively, such as gambling which has a bad impact if you cannot control yourself in a disciplined manner so as not to make mistakes which result in gamblers having a negative impact on their gambling.
I fully support what you say it all comes back to the gambler's mindset, whether they want to get lost in the world of gambling and find it difficult to get out of the addiction zone or just want to enjoy gambling safely and comfortably. if it is the second option that they think is better, of course they will always be able to control their minds to understand that gambling is just a moment of fun that does not need to be taken seriously like making money because gambling is not how it works and a gambler who can understand how gambling works will definitely always have a positive mindset that will continue to gamble safely and comfortably.

all of this is just about how easy it is or how difficult it is for someone to understand gambling and if a gambler is able to understand more deeply how gambling works they will certainly have whatever limits it may have to be able to maintain strong control not to pursue anything that can have the impact of addiction and for gamblers who just thinking instantly about gambling they will fail to understand how gambling works and will never be able to gamble safely.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Spending more or less money on Casino this Holiday season on: January 03, 2024, 02:37:33 PM
I haven't spent much on this holiday. The financial situation isn't good and my earning isn't enough to spend on gambling. At times my mind think about borrowing money and gamble. I'm keeping myself under control and hoping for better gambling days soon when my financial situation gets better.
You don't need to borrow money to gamble because it will only give you problems, especially since your income is not enough to meet your other needs. You have to think more about meeting more important needs than just gambling. Moreover, it's okay if you don't gamble this holiday because you can go back to gambling whenever you want, of course, after you have enough money to use for gambling. By not gambling at this time, you can spend time hanging out with your family, providing quality time for you and your family. It's good if you can control yourself by not gambling because you don't have money.
It is not recommended for anyone to borrow money to gamble and if that happens it will be a very big problem at the end of the betting session.
even though it's on holiday and it only comes once a year, we don't need to force ourselves to borrow money to gamble, enjoy the holiday, while gambling is not the main priority, but family plays an important role when the holiday season arrives, we just need to spend our time with our family, going on holiday somewhere and if you need money for a holiday, maybe that's not a problem because you're doing it to enjoy it with your family, but if you borrow money just to gamble, you can only enjoy yourself and have a bad impact when you lose at gambling.


I never thought about spending time on holidays like this again just for gambling. In fact, I almost dont have time for gambling. I can only place sports bets after that, go with my family and never spend large amounts of money because for me, holidays are something that must be done enjoy it with the family, not with the casino.

and if we have more money or a bonus before the holidays, it would be better to just leave a little for gambling or maybe dont need to set aside money for gambling and use it to have fun with the family, that's much better.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 03, 2024, 01:37:24 PM
first of all, I very rarely gamble or access gambling outside the house and only enjoy gambling at home or in my room so no one will say anything except friends who know about my and my wife's gambling activities. I do all this, gambling doesn't need to be accessed in random places because it has a lot of risks and what you get is one of the risks of accessing gambling in public places and you should not pay attention to anything they say because it is your own fault for accessing gambling in public places an open place that you should access when there is no one beside you.

even though currently online gambling can be accessed from anywhere, I suggest you dont do it again because not everyone likes gambling or some people sometimes think gambling is a bad thing, so it would be better to open a gambling account when there are no people next to you that you dont know and on the one hand, this has a big risk because you dont know whether the person next to you is a good person or a criminal when you see you win and top up your balance a lot, of course bad people will rob your cellphone and that could happen.

so you dont need to do that anymore, if you want to watch the game, you need to see if there are many people next to you and look for a quiet seat to access the gambling and if someone says anything, dont pay attention because you are gambling using your own money.
1299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: January 03, 2024, 12:08:19 PM
We have the same thoughts and upon observation, that's true that the essence of gambling is really missing, that it should give pleasure and fun at least, But in the case of what I see, what is currently happening is far from what it used to be, especially majority of gamblers only focused on winning.
well, this is the mistake of today's gamblers who cannot think maturely and ignore how gambling works and only think that gambling is only to get money whereas when gambling first appeared it was only for gambling and the loss of this essence is due to mindset of gamblers who cannot understand all of these.
sometimes I think that the increase in the number of gamblers around the world and also the increase in addiction is almost equivalent to the increase in the development of the gambling business today and why do people think that gambling to earn money while the way gambling works is provided to provide entertainment for gamblers with a budget that can afford to lose.

but I understand this condition because the increase in  gambling business also provides an increase in advertising and many influencers broadcast live showing the games they play and always show big wins and there are lots of videos circulating about big wins that encourage the minds of weak gamblers to think if they can win. big wins from gambling so they dont think about gambling to have fun but to earn money but what is very funny is that when asked by other people what the motivation is for gambling they say to look for fun and that is a lie.

Yes, every gambler must own everything you mentioned so they will not fall into gambling. Maybe we don't need to interpret it too complicatedly and just need to understand that gambling requires clear restrictions so that we don't gamble excessively. We must be able to use it as a free time activity and immediately stop gambling when we start gambling for too long. By practicing everything, we can use gambling as it is and will not try to chase the win because it will not be easy to get.
well, you have said this before and I still remember that time and it is also one of the easiest ways to be a responsible gambler and a healthy gambler without having something bad like chasing losses as you said.
but as I said before, it all depends on how every gambler thinks, if they want to become a healthy gambler, they definitely want to understand and learn how to gamble healthily in a basic way that is easier to do and all of this requires a strong desire because If you dont have a strong desire, a gambler will definitely always ignore any advice.
and actually this is all very easy if a gambler has the awareness that the way gambling works is simply to seek pleasure and immediately stop after getting that pleasure. but the mistake that gamblers often make is that they forget that after getting pleasure they actually follow their lust to continue betting and become excessive as you said, whereas everything in excess is not very good.

I fully support what you say about these limits because it is one of the basic ways that is easy to do and anyone here definitely understands very well what limits must be implemented in order to remain a responsible gambler.
