Risk management is most important thing in gambling sector. If you are not able to manage you risk then you have to suffer a lot after playing gamble. Because new gambler don't know actually risk management they play as a new and when they faces losses that time they suffer. Risk management is most responsible think in gambling sector because no one can't be an successful gambler without it.
I think when it comes to gambling, it is hard to have risk management as everything relies on luck. It is possible to reduce the risk by just simply analyzing, the knowledge, skills, etc. If that is the case it would be stressful in the long term in gambling as everything you would need to identify everything for you just to profit. Well, even famous people who invented formulas in probability and statistics use them for gambling just to profit like for example Pascal. It is indeed a must-cause if you are just impulsively betting your money without thinking of any ideas, for sure you would just pray for your luck to be on your side which is rarely to happen in gambling. Risk management is crucial in all walks of life and it also helps gamblers to stay positive. Gambling risks are too many, and only the right gamblers who can practice a few risk strategies will see profits in gambling. However if a player understands that gambling can also help him improve his risk management skills, he wouldn't bother much about making profits in gambling. The skill he's working on would make a difference in his office life and improve his productivity. Perceiving gambling as a skill acquisition game is better than seeing it as a money-making scheme. The way we manage our money in gambling determines how our daily expenses would be in the market or businesses. Figuring out the right decision to predict in gambling helps the brain to take similar actions when running an investment, and also to determine the right moment to quit a money move. This is one of the reasons why most rich businessmen gamble, not for money, as they already have the money. They are mostly gambling for the information embedded in gambling. Managing risks is our main responsibility as gamblers. With discipline, a gambler wouldn't suffer losses, and the right strategy could be crafted via self-control. While everything relies on luck, we shouldn't depend on it, as the only way out as gamblers. Because the analysis and the mathematical formulas would be luck based. Accepting that that analysis would yield wins and profits can lead to a gambler spending more than he budgeted. Money management is also under risk management, and it's a legitimate gambling skill for any gambler, be it a good analyst or a new gambler with no college degree. Once the player can handle his funds properly he would be safe in gambling. Other than that, we must prioritize what we can control. I mentioned self-control, because it's not dependent on luck, the gambler has the power to manipulate how he behaves after winning or losing a game. |

I'm gradually understanding your idea on social engineering. There is a recent increase in social engineering tricks used by hackers to attack a company. The internet or social media platforms are open, anybody can access information about a user. Hence hackers use the posts or information an employee publishes online, to determine useful tricks in deceiving the person to release a few personal details that can lead the hackers to the victim's personal computer and then gain access to the company secret database. I've read of the spear phishing attack and LinkedIn is quite a useful tool in getting employees' emails. The hacks distribute mails, which from the employee's social media presence seems important or valuable to the recipient, if a few of them click on the link they can fall for an attack or download a malware inscribed with a keylogger, which helps the attacker to trace every information they input on their keyboard.
Yes, the latest high-profile hack is the Ledger library hack due to a compromised former employee of the company. Thereby garnering some relevant information needed to access the company's main data. All these rely on the training given to the employees and the main purpose of their social media activity. By doing some research on LinkedIn you'd be able to see a handful of casino staff who use the medium to advertise their casino and at the same time answer difficult questions about the well-being of the casino and the services they render. As for their address, I can't say for sure why anyone would be looking for the casino's address on social media, the registrar or license issuing company can share the address on their website or indicate whether it's offshore or not. Then the person in need of the address can look into the country where the offshore company is located. Talking of financial transparency, I'd say that the casino doesn't need to open up to the entire public about the amount of money they've got in their save or wallet. It can attract hackers to infiltrate the company. People suspect that Stake was hacked a few months ago because they were transparent with how much they spent signing a deal with Drake.
I couldn't agree more. We are all accustomed to the fact that casinos = money, big money. I don’t even mention the amount of the casino’s turnover and deposit, we know that they have money. Therefore, hackers without any information about deals, partnerships and investments should strive to hack casinos. But for the final gambler, information about the casino’s operating turnover can be important. 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. |

Gambling's risky, especially for chance newbies. Recognizing that gaming does not enhance finances is essential. Instead, itS a high-risk bet. Dont we know the house always wins? Thus, strong boundaries are essential.
Think about responsible gambling. This pastime receives a modest amount of our discretionary income. This goes beyond financial restraint to self-preservation. Gambling is enjoyment with a cost, not a wealth-building plan.
Therefore, we must teach newcomers about gambling. It is a risky hobby, not a path to financial success. Understanding and following these boundaries protects our wallets and health.
Beginners should be aware of the risks of gambling so that they can continue to learn to control themselves. They really need to learn self-control when playing gambling, especially if they are still beginners so that they don't experience problems like other gamblers have experienced. Learning self-control can keep them away from all the problems that can arise after they finish gambling so that they can stop gambling immediately and will not look back or have the desire to recover their losses. And by gambling responsibly, at least they will always remember that gambling does not need to use a lot of money because this is entertainment that we cannot use for a long time. We have to remember the consequences that we will get after playing gambling and the risk that we will get is losing money in gambling. If we don't want to lose a lot of money, we really have to be able to limit our gambling games so that we can still have the money and won't lose all the money in one day. Newcomers who enter gambling really have to learn many things to avoid gambling addiction or the problem of losing more money. This is because many gamblers feel this way and many have become bankrupt because they often gamble. We don't want newcomers to experience the same thing, especially if they want to gamble for fun and entertainment, so they really have to have good self-control. 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. |

Impression leads to depression. Young people now run to build social media impressions, then end up hurting themselves and getting depressed. Looking around each social media space, and reading from their responses, you'd notice that there is a high rate of depressed people in the society. And this has gotten to the likes of naive gamblers who don't respect the act of gambling. They think it's a way of proving a point to society or luring more people to try gambling as they're winning big. If a person is not comfortable gambling anymore, he shouldn't try to suit his ego by claiming to other people he's a big winner and has higher predicting skills. Gamblers who participate in this type of mistake or say trends learn it on social media. It has been all over the media like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, most posts on winning big in gambling are mostly framed by the user to impress the viewers on his timeline. Hence when they ask him for some proof like sending some giveaway they'll do that using their extra funds. Thereby losing money both ways, one in gambling, another in chasing impression.
What do they gain for doing this, if the person isn't into any affiliate program, for what profit is he suffering himself? Weird things are beginning to happen each day and we must stay careful not to get this depressed to the extent of following the hearsay of people around us in the society. Most people whom we try to impress every day wouldn't appreciate our efforts. As a gambler, I've not noticed a gambler who do this, although no proof of tracing this, but I can say for sure that, the slip matters more than the money. This thread opened a different perspective in me, and it's not a lie, there are some possibilities of such things happening. Yet, I'd categorize these people as a set of new gamblers. Experienced gamblers don't have any reason for this, I was complaining to a friend the other day, that gamblers only let us know when they lose a game, and hide once there is a win. Now I'm shocked to notice the reverse in the life of some people, not just the reverse, but a selfish reverse, lying over loss and claiming to people that they won instead.
Another valid point stated...trying to prove a point. I mean, its nobody's concern whether or not you had a bet go your way. Who's validation is required for living life and who defines the standard of what society should or should not want. Too much of youths trying to prove a point has landed youths in an untold pressure and when not able to meet up with the demands that goes with the acclaimed, depression sets in Live your life at your means and do what you have to do without the need of a third party's validation, that way you stay out of unwanted embarrassing situations It can only get worse each day because the online validation lifestyle is becoming a pandemic in society. Recently, the online space is not spacious enough anymore, and they now want to be seen offline. The problem also began with the occupants of our society or environment. They only want fake love and don't care about people who don't live the fake lifestyle; claiming to be rich. Normalizing with lies and shutting up the truth, will only take society to a very tough time. Some youths when faced with the pressure, will hide and continue to lie that all is right financially. Depression then creeps in, and drug or gambling addiction follows. Most of the addicts in the gambling niche weren't part of addiction, due to gambling alone. Other characteristics or behaviors of the person contributed to setting them off guard, and they weren't able to control their urge for gambling. Faking our results in gambling is among the funniest forms of silly lifestyle I've read in a while. Those validations, as you said, don't matter, but to them, it's very important to appear relevant in the eyes of the people. Fake it until you make it syndrome. Yet they don't seem to understand the slogan. It has nothing to do with faking wealth or gambling wins. It's all about staying true to the hustle even when the quality we seek isn't there. For instance, providing a service in a building that doesn't look fine, until the wealth begins to creep in the person can then relocate to a better place. A person can fake to be competent in a field, until they get competent in that field. But the wrong perspective circulating the society is that they can fake being rich or successful gamblers and then get successful in gambling. This time that slogan doesn't work. Because the person is only suffering his emotions, trying to impress people who care less about his well-being. |

Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.
It is frustrating when members of the forum allways talk about being addicted to gambling as a crime or offence to nature. In life no one is perfect, regardless of the level of discipline anyone have there is something that unconsciously they are addicted to. It could be drugs, sex, money, and smoking e.t.c. There are lot to mention, i just mentioned the ones that are popular and much in the society. OP, if you have some few bucks you can start gambling immediately. Do not be concerned about being a gambling addict. Understand the gambling system. Such as your bankroll, know when to quit, learn how to control emotions and all that. These are things you should consider when you want to start gambling. Thank you I'm interested in your response because it explains in a bit the importance of promoting the positive aspects of gambling. Welcoming new gamblers with the famous threat of gambling; addiction. Puts them into a state of mind that could one day make the newbie addicted to gambling. When the player thinks of addiction often, he would be scared not to become addicted, he may try to avoid it, but at some point, he'll lose his guard and begin to chase money through gambling. Henceforth, the newbie begins to develop an addiction in him. Trying to teach them the importance of gambling, can help the brain of the newbie to redirect to the positive aspect of gambling. He'll be able to understand, that gambling could improve his thinking and help in relaxation. Hence he won't bother too much with money, while gambling. Instead, his motive would be developing his prediction skills and as well relaxing through gambling. It also builds the knowledge of the gambler to believe he's paying for those important qualities. Thereby helping him to moderate the amount of money he spends while gambling. Addictions revolve around making money, and if a player is only concerned about how to earn money, he would make painful mistakes. In his quest to win back his lost money, the player gets compulsive and struggles with gambling. All the factors you mentioned in your last line are very crucial for newbie gamblers, whenever they practice your advice, gambling addiction won't be a bone of contention. In a nutshell, it's too bad to see the perspective of gamblers towards gambling. Op already has this negative thought that he may have a bad effect on his life if he gambles. Addiction is getting hyped a lot, and that's why many people fall for the plot. Other substances like drugs, are addictive due to the reactions it causes to the brain. Gambling only reacts according to the way the gambler feels or his decisions towards his wins. So, if we have good intentions, our gambling journey will be smooth with fewer obstacles or problems. |

Since the government doesn't have equipment that can detect or find addicted gamblers around society, they may not be able to reduce or restrict addicted players from gambling. The ball is in the court of the gambler, as he wasn't moved by the government to join gambling. However, it's more of a thing of the society or the environment of the person. Where we grew up has its government and they may have been common with gambling. Hence growing up the person wouldn't have any difficulty choosing gambling as a hobby or money-making scheme. If the government warns against gambling addiction with banners and sets up campaigns around the streets, it may only raise awareness among citizens, and whatever promo is done by the government gets people talking and younger people can then begin to hear about gambling even toddlers.
I think the right option is for the government to align with parents to help them notify the nearest health care center or rehabilitation centers once their ward begins to have abstract behavior, caused by anything; gambling or not. Youths are suffering from different mental sicknesses fueled by unemployment, heartbreaks, loss of a loved one, etc. These things contribute to mental disorders or even Bipolar and if the person involves himself in games like gambling he'd easily get addicted. If parents pay close attention to their wards or children they'll be able to detect a behavior change, maybe the child is beginning to ask for money all the time. Engaging him in a technical parent-child conversation can be a good tool in determining the problem of the child, and then they can work on treatment. Citizens are also a part of the government, without the people, there would be no government. So, we must learn to work alongside the government in stopping gambling addiction and all forms of addiction in society.
The government's role in gambling addiction is complicated. Our legislators must defend public health, but their reach is limited. Your thesis about society influencing gambling is correct. Certain actions were accepted in our upbringing, affecting our views and choices. Not merely warning about dangers, but identifying the core reasons. As you say, parent collaboration may be crucial. Many parents notice changes in their children's conduct first. They can prevent addiction first. Effective communication and awareness are key to this technique. Parents must know how to spot gambling addiction and get help. Gambling addiction demands complex treatment. The community, not just the government or parents, is involved. Educational, supportive, and accessible mental health treatments are needed to address this issue. Never underestimate the power of collective action to improve society. Collective action works faster in all consequences of life, leaving the work for the government wouldn't get us anywhere. Gambling is vast and banning gambling can't help in stopping gamblers from getting addicted. The government can only attend to people they found in the hospital, then try to administer therapy and cure them from the addiction. If society or parents keep hoarding their wards at home, hoping to see a positive result someday, the child will face a more difficult time, trying to survive his addiction. Nobody can detect a gambling addiction in a person faster than a close friend, parents, or the gambler himself. The government is far from handling such a task. An addict will hardly share his experience with his loved ones unless they engage him in a conversation. The educational sectors are also needed, as you said. Students are beginning to participate in online gambling, and for a while now, it's become a norm for underage citizens to gamble. This only happens because schools don't look into the lives of students. In today's world, parents hardly spend time with kids, they work hard to generate to clear daily bills. Kids or students spend most of their time in school. When the administration, cautions children about bad gambling experiences and teaches them with examples, it can help reduce the high rate of underage gamblers. Our society is facing lots of problems due to a lack of collaboration from the numerous sectors in charge of citizens and growing kids. The general public only puts it that gambling is bad, without any proof or extra teachings on ways people can avoid being compulsive gamblers or sharing the useful parts of gambling with grown gamblers. Prevention is better than cure, if we can keep ourselves from getting addicted, then no need to fear about the complex treatment of gambling addiction. |

Respect and progress is what everyone spouse would want for herself and her family. Addiction to anything is bad and would obviously give a bad look on the family and a strain on it’s finances.
Someone with an addiction to gambling or other vices are weak minded and easily swayed by things around at the moment. Being hooked, it would be easy to overlook what repercussions would follow from their actions, and if married, this would definitely affect the marriage. Unless the spouse is an addict. Then they’re both screwed.
Addiction to anything can definitely affect relationships especially when it's a romantic relationship, be it gambling addiction or addiction of some other kind, it always have a way of affecting most relationships because one partner will definitely not be fine with the addiction and will want the other to quit of course which isn't an easy thing to do. The only time it will not really be a problem will be when both spouse happens to be sharing same addiction then they collectively enjoy it or want to look for a way to quit such habit, with gambling their financial life will definitely suffer at some point and this will get uncomfortable with either of them and that's where the problem sets in because the one addicted will always try to convince the other with the mindset that they have got hope of winning big some day meanwhile they are suffering in the mean time. Gambling doesn't affect relationships, but addiction does affect people's relationships. And we need to be diligent in gambling responsibly to stay on the radar of safe relationships. When addicted close relatives, loved ones, would decline their relationship with the addict and stop being close to them, due to the rigorous bad acts of the addict. However, if a gambler stays responsible his spouse wouldn't have a hard time with the gambler, he can even earn respect from his girlfriend or family members. Because they already have this insight that gamblers are always compulsive and act in strange ways, when they come in contact with a gambler who doesn't possess an ill behavior like other compulsive gamblers, the woman would respect the man. That's why we all are expected to maintain a good name for gambling. Being addicted only spoils the respect people have for gamblers. Some people due to their experience with addicts, will never acknowledge the hard work responsible gamblers put in to avoid losing control. In a family where both spouses are addicted, it'll be a disastrous occurrence or experience. As the finance meant to build the family would be used to gamble, which is not bad. However, if a gambler is in a relationship with a woman who is seeking consistent attention, she may not find it conducive staying with a gambler, compulsive or responsible. Gamblers do have special time for gambling and their spouse may also need that same time for discussion and attention to themselves. A gambler who doesn't comply with that lifestyle or attitude of hers may lose the woman, thereby affecting the relationship. When deeply attached to the girl, a responsible gambler can get addicted due to the heartbreak the breakup caused him. I prefer that the non gambler engage in gambling discussion with the gambler, so that they can always have a great time together. Gamblers tend to love people who are interested in gambling, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the next person would be a gambler. Having a positive perspective on gambling is enough. |

I don’t know what the conditions are for obtaining a gambling license from Curacao - is it necessary to disclose information about the founders of a legal entity, confirm the authorized capital and similar issues, perhaps it’s enough to just pay for the license. But finding information on the real owners of online casinos (legal entities) is very problematic. Such nuances cause mistrust.
I also noticed that most owners of a casino don't have a solid online presence, but their staff does. Go on LinkedIn or other gambling review sites you see a good number of casino staff available to settle problems relating to their casino. They do that for PR and don't want bad publicity spreading around the internet about the casino. Hence it's very crucial to always look out for casinos who have the interest of their customers at hand whether on the site or outside the site. Like in this forum, there are many representatives ready to solve some allegations placed on their casino, if the player is right they'll work hard to resolve it hence not costing them another client or member who wants to gamble using the casino. Looking for the details of the casino owner on the sites of the license issuer can be cool, but what you'll get there wouldn't be sufficient. Obtaining the license costs some money and time, not every body would be able to get a license to set up a casino. The current situation with the example you gave about LinkedIn seems strange to me. After all, individuals (casino employees) are more vulnerable to attacks based on social engineering, which in turn give rise to other types of hacker attacks on the final product - online casinos. At the same time, on LinkedIn, the vast majority of companies only indicate the country and, at best, the city in their location. At the same time, the websites of most companies engaged in the field of Crypto/Web3 etc always indicates the full legal address. I think they'll have to present some funds to show they're capable of paying members, then work on a provably fair feature as a way of signifying transparency and that the house is not manipulating the results way too much. Although some casinos lie about this and don't follow the provably fair rules, players have to look into such features by trying to know if they are losing more often than usual. How do you mean legal entities in a bracket for the real owner of a casino? How does it pose a problem or cause mistrust, I'm not clear on that aspect. But, not knowing the full details of an online casino boss doesn't pose any threat. The law enforcement agency can reach to him if required or need, as he's not hidden, their details are available, but contacting them would be impossible for some casino users like you and me. However, not all of them chose to hide their online presence.
Exactly so, and I described such a situation above. The casino, and therefore the legal entity, the owner of the casino, does not have financial transparency for the end consumer (gambler). I'm gradually understanding your idea on social engineering. There is a recent increase in social engineering tricks used by hackers to attack a company. The internet or social media platforms are open, anybody can access information about a user. Hence hackers use the posts or information an employee publishes online, to determine useful tricks in deceiving the person to release a few personal details that can lead the hackers to the victim's personal computer and then gain access to the company secret database. I've read of the spear phishing attack and LinkedIn is quite a useful tool in getting employees' emails. The hacks distribute mails, which from the employee's social media presence seems important or valuable to the recipient, if a few of them click on the link they can fall for an attack or download a malware inscribed with a keylogger, which helps the attacker to trace every information they input on their keyboard. Thereby garnering some relevant information needed to access the company's main data. All these rely on the training given to the employees and the main purpose of their social media activity. By doing some research on LinkedIn you'd be able to see a handful of casino staff who use the medium to advertise their casino and at the same time answer difficult questions about the well-being of the casino and the services they render. As for their address, I can't say for sure why anyone would be looking for the casino's address on social media, the registrar or license issuing company can share the address on their website or indicate whether it's offshore or not. Then the person in need of the address can look into the country where the offshore company is located. Talking of financial transparency, I'd say that the casino doesn't need to open up to the entire public about the amount of money they've got in their save or wallet. It can attract hackers to infiltrate the company. People suspect that Stake was hacked a few months ago because they were transparent with how much they spent signing a deal with Drake. |

In my opinion almost all steps that states take to "protect" gamblers have no real benefit. If they wanted to really help people with gambling addiction, they could open more free rehabilitation centers, advertise them on central television, launch information campaigns that would explain the negative consequences of mindless gambling. All this costs money, which will have to be allocated from the budget, so they simply do not make real steps, but only create the appearance of hard work.
It doesn't look good if they will open a rehabilitation centers of addicted gamblers as it will only imply that addiction has already become rampant. Gambling is controllable by the government, since they regulated it, they have the right to ban it, or consider it as illegal. However, seeing the money that flows to the funding of the government, they can't make that kind of decision to stop, so it's really unto us now, either we become responsible, or be on the other side and experience the effect of addiction, after all the government doesn't care about us since gambling is not a necessity. There's no benefit to the government by actually stopping gambling. In fact, they make lots of money by taxing gambling income. They not only tax citizens for gambling income but also tax gambling operators for running casinos. So its only in the hands of the individual if he wants to quit his gambling addiction. Since the government doesn't have equipment that can detect or find addicted gamblers around society, they may not be able to reduce or restrict addicted players from gambling. The ball is in the court of the gambler, as he wasn't moved by the government to join gambling. However, it's more of a thing of the society or the environment of the person. Where we grew up has its government and they may have been common with gambling. Hence growing up the person wouldn't have any difficulty choosing gambling as a hobby or money-making scheme. If the government warns against gambling addiction with banners and sets up campaigns around the streets, it may only raise awareness among citizens, and whatever promo is done by the government gets people talking and younger people can then begin to hear about gambling even toddlers. I think the right option is for the government to align with parents to help them notify the nearest health care center or rehabilitation centers once their ward begins to have abstract behavior, caused by anything; gambling or not. Youths are suffering from different mental sicknesses fueled by unemployment, heartbreaks, loss of a loved one, etc. These things contribute to mental disorders or even Bipolar and if the person involves himself in games like gambling he'd easily get addicted. If parents pay close attention to their wards or children they'll be able to detect a behavior change, maybe the child is beginning to ask for money all the time. Engaging him in a technical parent-child conversation can be a good tool in determining the problem of the child, and then they can work on treatment. Citizens are also a part of the government, without the people, there would be no government. So, we must learn to work alongside the government in stopping gambling addiction and all forms of addiction in society. |

You have misinterpreted some things Loneline does not make anyone drug addict. Loanlines can be an attraction for a gambler because when he gambles and loses and does not have enough money to re-deposit, he will try to borrow from others to recover his losses. So Lonelines can make a gambler more addicted to gambling. In this case, if he wins the gamble and recovers his losses, he can repay his loans, but if he loses and loses them too, he is in great danger. And this is why you should never gamble with a loan
Loneliness can make someone more susceptible to behaviors that we may think to be too risky, as if they had a friend to their side watching what they were doing they could tell them that what they are doing is wrong, but without that support it will be easier for someone to develop some issues, still this only increases the chances of this happening a little bit since such a state cannot really last for long, especially now that we live in a society in which you can contact with people from all over the world and drive away those feelings. The world is advancing and people can easily share their problems, with their loved ones all over the world, but loneliness remains loneliness. When a person is alone he has no companion around, with whom he can discuss and feel happy, this challenge leads to boredom, and when bored playing games in a casino could be an alternative for the person. He has fun for the time being and sometimes would want some more fun. In his struggle for transient fun, he'd end up getting glued to his love for gambling. Have you ever noticed that those who engage us in discussion end up winning our hearts, and we tend to get used to their presence? The same applies to people who then see gambling as the only way of dealing with boredom or loneliness. And when such a person gets addicted to gambling he'll only help himself by raising an alarm to a close friend, that's if he's lucky enough to realize that he's now addicted. Because the study from psychotherapists, has proven that most gamblers wouldn't find out about their addiction until they find themselves in the middle of a serious gambling addiction. Hence a gambler must keep check of himself when lonely and endeavor not to wager too much money or spend lots of time while gambling. He can substitute the fun with a video game. I know people want to make money at all costs, and a lonely person's thirst for money is quite too high compared to people with a roommate who can distract them from gambling to other realistic discussions. Loneliness helps a determined person to stay focused. And when a determined person redirects such a valuable skill into gambling, it could be detrimental to his mental health. As he may not be able to get the results he is expecting through gambling. With his determination he can persist in his search for money through gambling until he won't be able to determine his actions anymore, and he can't be saved because of lack of association with humans or friends. When we don't open up or share our problem, it'll be very hard to resolve or solve. Gambling addicts should learn how to speak up! |

No, I don't think I've ever thought about regretting about it until I've seen this post. Gambling is something that you'll eventually learn about no matter what you do or how ignorant you can be, it's like one of those facts of life that you will inevitably learn along the way. I think that the people that's regretting ever knowing about gambling are those that have their lives devastated by gambling, luckily I'm not one of them so I can happily say that it's a no regrets for me. Also, what would regret ever do anyway, I'm sure that it's nothing so better to move forward and be better than staying here and regretting your actions.
Maybe what you mean is learn from the mistakes that have made some people regret their gambling involvement especially those who always overdo their approach, I think it's quite natural and reasonable if you don't feel regret and here I can conclude that it seems like you have a pretty good approach to gambling so you don't regret being involved in this activity. That means regret is only for some people and it also depends on how the person responds to gambling itself, if indeed they come with the wrong way or approach then obviously over time the bad effects will definitely occur and of course regret will always come at the end. Another thing in my opinion if you feel that you are still fine even though you have been involved in gambling for a long time I think it's okay if you continue because it has been proven that over a long period of time you can manage everything well, especially in terms of your bankroll and self-control, but if it's the opposite then I think you already know what you should do. Gambling regrets come very late. From the narratives of Op's story, you'd see that his friend already laid his complaints after many years of being addicted and losing all his funds in gambling. How is it the problem of the person who introduced him to gambling? The addict's brain wouldn't let him take responsibility for his mistakes, hence healing would be difficult as his heart is now filled with hatred for his friend. Initiating people into the gambling world can be great, but when they fail it gets bad for both parties. Hence, it's always important to warn people to stay positive about gambling before joining and they can do their research. I don't blame anybody's actions whether they choose to be responsible or not. On the other side, the addict is wrong for pointing accusing fingers like a kid that his friend who introduced him to gambling is the primary cause of his problem. Moving forward won't be easy for the addict, as he's now in a state of dilemma, he can't decide for himself, the same way he wasn't able to choose whether to become a gambler or not, he allowed himself to be pushed by a friend before he started gambling. He will face difficulties like not being able to stop, after losing as he can't take control of himself anymore. The player needs help and his friends shouldn't overlook such symptoms. His actions show how deeply he's been suffering in addiction, how much money he's spent, and the repercussions it brought on his business or office life; reducing his productivity. If a person hasn't been so bittered at a mistake, they won't have the guts to blame somebody else. The person he's blaming is innocent and only guilty of showing him the road to becoming a gambler. He may have started gambling before reaching the required age for gambling and while an adult he became too attached to it and the only way he could help himself was to think that he wasn't the cause of his problem. It's common among humans, and that's why the world consists of people who don't take action on living a better life, and then wallow in difficulty, blaming their friends or parents for the cause of their current state of hardship. |

Truthfully, the disdain that comes with loosing on a bet that you have been warned about is what births this false claims of winning even when there is nothing to prove.
Maybe its even necessary to keep the wins to one's self whenever it is the case. I see no need to want to prove a point when you actually responsible for the outcome of whatever investment you have with your funds.
I also do not see any reason that a gambler will claim that he has made some winning while there was no winning. It does not actually make sense. This is because the money that a gambler is losing belongs to the gambler and if he eventually wins, it also belong to him. There is no need making up stories or telling lies in order to appear like you have made a constant winning while in the real sense you have not made any winning. I do not also understand why people allow what others say to bother them much. Nowadays, people live their life to suit the wish of the people. They pattern their life with the trend on social media or whatsoever. This will make them make some decisions that are not desirable. A gambler is just like a bitcoin investor. Keep your losses and profits to yourself in order to remain calm and coordinated in decision making and for security reasons. Impression leads to depression. Young people now run to build social media impressions, then end up hurting themselves and getting depressed. Looking around each social media space, and reading from their responses, you'd notice that there is a high rate of depressed people in the society. And this has gotten to the likes of naive gamblers who don't respect the act of gambling. They think it's a way of proving a point to society or luring more people to try gambling as they're winning big. If a person is not comfortable gambling anymore, he shouldn't try to suit his ego by claiming to other people he's a big winner and has higher predicting skills. Gamblers who participate in this type of mistake or say trends learn it on social media. It has been all over the media like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, most posts on winning big in gambling are mostly framed by the user to impress the viewers on his timeline. Hence when they ask him for some proof like sending some giveaway they'll do that using their extra funds. Thereby losing money both ways, one in gambling, another in chasing impression. What do they gain for doing this, if the person isn't into any affiliate program, for what profit is he suffering himself? Weird things are beginning to happen each day and we must stay careful not to get this depressed to the extent of following the hearsay of people around us in the society. Most people whom we try to impress every day wouldn't appreciate our efforts. As a gambler, I've not noticed a gambler who do this, although no proof of tracing this, but I can say for sure that, the slip matters more than the money. This thread opened a different perspective in me, and it's not a lie, there are some possibilities of such things happening. Yet, I'd categorize these people as a set of new gamblers. Experienced gamblers don't have any reason for this, I was complaining to a friend the other day, that gamblers only let us know when they lose a game, and hide once there is a win. Now I'm shocked to notice the reverse in the life of some people, not just the reverse, but a selfish reverse, lying over loss and claiming to people that they won instead. |

Looking at the requirements of setting up an online casino, the website design wouldn't be much of a concern. A legitimate casino has more problems to solve like getting a license, attracting multiple game providers, setting aside whopping amounts of money for paying winners, etc. The site may look cloned, but it's not, because of the back-end programming, that legit casinos would want to prioritize and customize to their taste. Most casinos I've visited have similar GUI or layouts, but that doesn't mean they all clone or copy from each other. I'd say that the interface is what is needed to portray the games they offer, live chats, partners, etc. Working with a different script or theme where the visitor would have to look for the qualities or factors won't convert the visitor easily to gamble on the site. Features are meant to be sampled first to attract the interest of the player to wager or deposit money. Mak013 is right, in his last line of words.
Once a site is registered and has a gambling license hosted offshore or somewhere in the USA, I don't think they should need to fear whether they're genuine or not. The gambler must research and gather information about the casino on review sites. Scam casino sites, to my understanding, do not bother about getting any license, they only get a clone of a famous casino and then do some ads and SEO to lure victims to the website. And this happens because of the fast growth of online casinos, as you said. Hence players are expected to gamble with aged online casinos and endeavor to do their research. Website template similarities have nothing to do with that aspect of recognizing scam casinos. Creating an online casino requires lots of money; millions of dollars. A casino wouldn't spend all that money to scam people and then miss out on the opportunity of staying in the market for a long time. When bathed with negative reviews all over the internet, the casino would fall and lose customers.
I don’t know what the conditions are for obtaining a gambling license from Curacao - is it necessary to disclose information about the founders of a legal entity, confirm the authorized capital and similar issues, perhaps it’s enough to just pay for the license. But finding information on the real owners of online casinos (legal entities) is very problematic. Such nuances cause mistrust. I also noticed that most owners of a casino don't have a solid online presence, but their staff does. Go on LinkedIn or other gambling review sites you see a good number of casino staff available to settle problems relating to their casino. They do that for PR and don't want bad publicity spreading around the internet about the casino. Hence it's very crucial to always look out for casinos who have the interest of their customers at hand whether on the site or outside the site. Like in this forum, there are many representatives ready to solve some allegations placed on their casino, if the player is right they'll work hard to resolve it hence not costing them another client or member who wants to gamble using the casino. Looking for the details of the casino owner on the sites of the license issuer can be cool, but what you'll get there wouldn't be sufficient. Obtaining the license costs some money and time, not every body would be able to get a license to set up a casino. I think they'll have to present some funds to show they're capable of paying members, then work on a provably fair feature as a way of signifying transparency and that the house is not manipulating the results way too much. Although some casinos lie about this and don't follow the provably fair rules, players have to look into such features by trying to know if they are losing more often than usual. How do you mean legal entities in a bracket for the real owner of a casino? How does it pose a problem or cause mistrust, I'm not clear on that aspect. But, not knowing the full details of an online casino boss doesn't pose any threat. The law enforcement agency can reach to him if required or need, as he's not hidden, their details are available, but contacting them would be impossible for some casino users like you and me. However, not all of them chose to hide their online presence. |

In these days where online gambling is available and keeps growing, more people get addicted to it rather than the usual casino. Indeed, the new generations have been comfortable playing at home, and aside from that, the easy accessibility which you don't need to travel anymore. But I see the consequences are huge knowing that even young age are already gambling. More and more gamblers become addicted as they continue knowing that they can play anytime and anywhere as long as they internet. Until this was not regulated by the government, many people couldn't control its temptation because some influencers were also advertising them.
Well I also see the same part here, now the times are very developed and everything is sophisticated, and of course for problems in the world of gambling as you say that people no longer need to go to a physical casino which of course requires the intention to go and also requires travel costs such as fuel and take the right time in the midst of their busy activities, with the development of increasingly modern times it is clear that everything is easier to do, not only online-based casinos but also several other things such as platforms that make it easier for people to shop easily and quickly have sprung up and we are familiar with it. Of course this situation is the cause of more gamblers entering and being trapped in the addiction zone because they can come whenever they want by just using the gadget they have which is of course connected to the internet network, running out of budget is not a problem because they have plenty of time to go to the ATM machine to deposit the fiat money they have, of course this freedom and convenience is what I think is the main cause of their addiction, but on the other hand not entirely too, because obviously for some people who still have the right point of view about gambling then I think they will not be that easy to get stuck in the addiction cycle, so maybe with all the conveniences that exist in online casinos it is only an indication and possibility for some people to enter the addiction zone. 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. Moreover, the use of the Internet is spreading too fast amongst teenagers and they can't go a day without visiting their gadgets. Once they discover a good gambling platform online, they won't avoid the site for a single day. In the long run, the players may run out of money, but as you said, Dewi Aries, the lack of money can only help them stop for the moment, yet it changes nothing. They'll still wager more once money is allocated or sent to them by their parents. Offline casinos also have addicted players, but it's somehow regulated for most players who don't feel comfortable with being addicted. They can talk to fellow gambling folk about their problem gambling and could get help or recommendations on how to deal with it. The online players don't have this opportunity, they only suffer in silence and have nobody to run to for help. Instead, when with friends or loved ones, they try to cover it up and claim everything is alright with them. |

in short, you are here because of your own volition. and when it is time for you to quit, it is also on you.
so don't blame anyone else if you are in this habit, because it is your own choice. now, to what extent you want to go in in this habit, is still your option. as you are responsible for yourself, make sure you won't regret your life's choices.
husband and wife, they both need to sit down and contemplate on their situation. because after all, it is their family who will suffer from their actions.
they need to consider of the following aspects of their lives -
> financial situation
> source of income/jobs
> assets
> kids (education)
> savings/emergency funds
> career
In gambling, perhaps regret and disappointment will always be there, but if all of this makes the gambler blame other people, it is also not good attitude because all gambling activities are his own decisions. Every gambler must be responsible and able to accept all the impacts of gambling without blaming other people, there is no point in blaming other people for the impacts of gambling that we feel. Agree that they both have to be able to find solution and fix everything because what they do will also have an impact or influence on their own family. There must be better solution with calm thinking, slowly they have to think about the long term of the activities they have carried out if they continue to happen. And of course all aspects must be considered carefully and management and boundaries must be able to be set. I know that for someone who likes to gamble, it will definitely be very difficult to stop, but at least they must be able to control it, manage it and also limit the intensity of the gambling they do. Building family has been their goal together from the start so don't let gambling cause everything they have built in the family to experience problems or even be destroyed. 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. |

This is clearly motivating addiction most especially to those begginer gamblers who are not totally exposed to the gambling world. They would certainly think that it's okay to lose and gamble again, and when your capital is already used up, it's okay to take a debt because the more you gamble, the higher chances of attaining wealth.
This is obviously crossing the concept of gambling. Just gamble to make fun and just bet on the amount you can afford to lose. Once used up, stop gambling and go home immediately. With that, you will never encounter problems in gambling.
Addiction would really be something pertains into those activities which it is already too much than on usual but since this had become their daily hobby or thing then i dont see something wrong with this. They are betting on things which arent really talking basically on money but on other bets that they are making. It is quite that evident that it is also really just that for fun. It is really that good to gamble out together with your friends or co-workers into your free times. As long you arent that compromising your daily budget or money then i dont see anything wrong with this. It is really just that we are just that too judgmental into those people who do engage to gambling. Society has ill feelings about gambling and spreads bad publicity around their environment, due to the mistakes of compulsive gamblers to their homes and society; wasting money meant for the growth of the family and society on gambling. This has caused most families to suffer financially and are not able to recover after a long time treating an addicted gambler in their midst. Hence, it'll be difficult for that narrative to change, most families now have rules that wouldn't let any member of them associate with a gambler, responsible or irresponsible. However, they wouldn't see the importance of gambling as they'll think of it as a total waste of time and money, coupled with the damages it encrypted in their memory. Aside from that, gambling is a good way of relaxation and what Op and friends are doing is quite good and rewarding. Especially if they focused on discussing responsible gambling and helping each other not to become a victim of addiction. But, from what I saw in the meme or photo he shared, they could be consistently sharing ideas, jokingly, that could lead to compulsive gambling. Moreover, friends can easily influence each other, and one person may want to appear different or impress his friends and then make the mistake of taking a loan to gamble. Their predictions are great and worth the reward for the winner, but naive players in the group can depend on those predictions as a means of generating predicting ideas, which could be wrong. Because, a member was right the previous week doesn't mean his prediction would be right the next weekend. All forms of gambling require money and time. It's only a matter of time a gambler who wagers a small amount could decide to put more money to earn big. Maybe when pushed by the decisions of friends in similar groups, or seeing that a member has won quite big in gambling. Those deficiencies they should hold on to and stop in the group and help their members to be careful in gambling and stay clear from being indebted. |

First thing first, have a well planned approach on ground before you set out to gamble and as a newbie there is a been to build the need baseline that will be the pattern you will follow while gambling, just like what many comments have adviced the ops to have a budget.and a goals that will help guide his steps throughout the gambling process.
Not taking gambling as a fun seeking adventure is highly risky thing to do as a gambler and what have made many newbies to have bad experiences lately is due to their mindset of winning at all means or gambling being a get-rich-quick scheme.
we all have read the suggestions, opinions and insights by various users. but at the end of the day, you know for yourself why you are getting into this world of gambling. you need to identify the very reason why and to what limit you can give yourself into this habit. once you are too deep, you would have hard time getting out. so yeah, before it is too late, better think of yourself on this. as this facet of life can easily ruin your life, family life if you are not too careful with your spending habits. you should always on the lookout for yourself because no one will do it for you. if you will follow your desires, it is too easy to fall on this addictive activity. so the control relies on your determination to stick to your targets. Gambling newbies need help with all that; focusing on their target, maintaining self-control, wagering few funds, and discipline. That's why newbie gamblers can't contend with the requirements of being a responsible gambler, despite being avid readers of gambling articles on addiction. Gamblers who do their research like Op can still be faced with difficulty while gambling, because they'd think of themselves as prepared, then when in the machine they may not be able to control themselves from moving after the money. Not going for the money is the best advice for newbies, they should enjoy the game and have fun. They should also wager smaller amounts of money to stay on the safe side of chasing losses and losing all they've got. Then, not keeping their bank cards close to them when gambling, so that they wouldn't deposit more money after losing the smaller funds they wagered. Reckless gambling can cause a gambler to lose not only his funds but loved ones and crumble his family. Such thing we don't wish for Op or any other gambler. It happens involuntarily and players won't be able to control the decision of avoiding gambling when addicted. Not sure it should be a thing a newbie should carry at the back of his mind, as a reminder that gambling is an activity that can lead to destruction. I do prefer telling gamblers, and newbies, about the importance, and benefits of gambling, what they can learn through gambling, and how gambling can be attached to their daily livelihood. Rather than, teaching them the negative aspects of gambling, how it could be disastrous or harmful to their health, or even finish a generational wealth. Man is what he thinks. A gambler who continuously wonders about the bad effects of gambling may one day become a victim of addiction. But, if he's of the mind that gambling would boost his critical thinking skills and also help him build a network with other gamblers, he'd chase those skills over money. |

In my opinion, financing gamblers is an action that can have serious consequences and is not recommended by anyone. If someone sponsors a gambler because of a friend or family member, then this must really be stopped so that there are no big problems in the future, because things like this are not recommended for anyone who is addicted to gambling. But not only that, there will definitely be disputes between lenders and gamblers, this will definitely be very detrimental to both. It's a good idea for us to discuss it carefully to find a solution together, so that all problems regarding gambling, its causes, and joint efforts can find a good solution for all parties involved.
The few times I have seen someone finance the gambling of another, the agreement is not always like a loan unless it is to the extreme. How it work is that the person raising the funds already accepted the risk that he can lose the money. This is why it is usually practiced between friends or people of trust and not with random people. What is certain is that this practice does not always work and most times ends in problems. Gambling is a personal thing and by just having the mindset that the fund is not yours, you start being too careful and that is when failure starts. I will not do this neither will I encourage anyone to accept funds from other for gambling. Financing a friend to gamble and share the results of the bet if he wins, is not a wrong idea. But hoping for the win or depending on the money that would be made through gambling is a bad idea. The Financier can do this with no intention of getting a reward. It's not bad to help a friend with funds to do what he's good at, hence the process only gets more difficult, if all we can think of is how to make money from the player's bet. Maybe because of his previous gambling results or other skills he may possess. If the owner of that money wants to make money off gambling, he should do the gambling himself and not rely on somebody else. The result will only help him take responsibility for his actions. Humans tend to blame others and wouldn't want to change such a perspective, especially if the gambler loses his friend's money. He shout and regret why he took such a decision in the first instance, that he would have used the money for something else. I understand that it's painful to lose some amount of money, but people also need to realize that, money spent gambling can also be used on other utilities, thereby finishing the money. The blame only gets worse if the money is exhausted through gambling. When they use the money to buy some clothes or shoes, they won't regret the idea. Is it not possible for a person to buy clothes for his friend or loved one? and what difference it makes to give a person money to gamble. However, it depends on the agreement set aside by both parties, that determines the action of the financier. And the agreement could be problematic, as gambling isn't a guaranteed money-making scheme. Anybody who wishes to make money off gambling, should take action and do it themselves, not give the money to somebody else who seems to be a competent gambler. The financier could have better luck of winning if he had done it himself. In a nutshell, gamblers who run out of money may have devised such an idea in a way of taking money from their friend to gamble, it's not a good idea and they should stop it too. |

First time winning is indeed a trap. Once a friend introduced me to a gambling site that pays. At first I was reluctant to try it out but after some time I decided to give it a trial. During the first round of the game, I won  , what a motivation to put in more effort! I tried my luck again the second time, I lost. The loss didn't stop me from playing further, infact I became even more serious and I lost them all. I believed if I could win during the first round, then it is possible for me to win again but a second, third and even fourth winning never seemed to show up again, instead I kept losing money, I was trapped! It got to a point I had to call myself to order for I have lost more than enough. A win is a big driving force, especially when it occurs during your first time of gambling or during the first round. It will trigger you to do more , more and more until you have nothing to gamble with anymore. No matter the outcome of your gamble, always stick to your budget or decision (If you had one before setting out to gamble), it will save you money and stress. On my first day gambling, what saved me from being a victim of such a mistake, was a lesser bankroll. I ran out of funds and immediately stopped gambling for the day. Beginning the journey with little funds is quite a good way of wagering our spare cash and wouldn't feel bad doing it. The experience was fun and since then my gambling has never been something to be scared about or think of sadly. The first outcome of gambling matters in determining the kind of view a player would have about gambling. When one checks through the reaction of most people who didn't win anymore after their first win in gambling, a good number tried until they lost everything. Why is it so? Because they had in mind that gambling would make them some money. The same initiative pushes them to do more and spend more using Martingale's strategy to earn huge profits. Gamblers do have a budget, but some would forget it once they get to the thrilling point of gambling. They'll go above their budget by using their card to deposit more money. The thrill can continue until the whole money is lost. Satisfaction is not guaranteed, and the player would have to continue once he gets up to money on his card. A first game win can be a trap and at the same time a false idea. But in justifying people's view on the first win, it relies on the difference of gamblers. Like any other aspect of life, not all gamblers would be prey to such a trap. Some would move on after experiencing a few extra losses. We may think that lots of newbie gamblers fall for this, but the survey isn't there to prove it right. Notwithstanding that many gamblers testify to the fact that they weren't able to escape it, some other players were smart enough to bypass those tricks. Newbie gamblers must understand how to be steps ahead in following the tricks of gambling houses. Otherwise they'll wager all their money, looking for some more wins. |

No one can say for sure how it will impact your life because we can’t tell what your outcomes will look like. But if you are too desperate to win from gambling then you will likely lose a lot of money. If you have anger issues, gambling can stir you up sometimes if you have a loss. Regarding addiction; you need to recognize it at an early stage even before it comes. So, right from now, you have to set boundaries that will never let addiction get to you.
So, what is your course of action in this case? because IMO, it would be better for someone to experience it first hand so they will fully understand what the others are talking about. I believe, no matter how people gives out their advices when someone's curiosity is pushing them to try using certain stuff like gambling, it's almost nothing would stop them to engage into it. The good thing is, they are already aware of what things to consider and to expect while they're still in the process of engaging so. I think OP is setting his boundaries though, so I think he's ready and the risk of getting addicted in gambling is too low, especially for the people who has job and has responsibilities. People are different. Not everyone will still want to make the mistakes by themselves so they can learn. If so, why then do people ask for advice? Advice is guidance. And even the topic we’re discussing on is asking for guidance so he doesn’t make the mistake. So, advice people based on your experience and what you know. It could save them a lot of time and money. Yes, gambling is tempting, you could still be tempted to do the wrong thing but when the person remembers that they’ve been warned on this, they could have a rethink and avoiding making the same mistake you did. Indeed, it's great to lend out advice to newbie gamblers, not to let them make lots of mistakes, and Op did the right thing by seeking people's responses on his decision to become a gambler, but Op must put into action the advice he's getting from gamblers. For Op to understand what people are saying in this thread he must be participating in gambling, and all the advice here would be useless if he doesn't gamble. And he's more concerned about not becoming addicted, and it's not a great idea to think of Op as a player that needs to experience gambling addiction to understand what's about. He may not be able to get out of the problem that awaits him, following the route of addiction. I'm in support of the idea of allowing Op to cement a few relevant pieces of advice shared under his thread, then when on the journey of gambling he'll have some guide that can save him against gambling addiction. Which includes having discipline and not being desperate about winning a few more times while gambling. Unless he won't be able to control himself against such an urge, these tips will take him a long way. If Op's choice is focusing on gambling for a long time and chasing loss, he won't be able to stop it regardless of the truckloads of advice or strategies shared on this thread. Newbie gamblers only need to wager money gradually, spend a few times gambling, and discuss with loved ones about their new habits. Sometimes we may be prepared for an exam and forget all we've read once we enter the examination hall. The same applies to gamblers, after reading tonnes of threads on the internet on ways of avoiding addiction, they still fail to keep to the rules and strategies and end up falling victim of addiction. People would think that the addicts didn't read the overflowing articles of gambling advice on the internet. However, they fail to realize that self-control and discipline are tested while gambling, not by reading or memorizing hundreds of techniques or strategies. |
