Only a risk-taker could do that, someone who can afford it even if they lose, or at least has the courage to try betting that amount. And it seems the bettor really knows the game of basketball; he probably thought this through. If it were me, I probably wouldn't do it, knowing that there's no guarantee of winning. I can't imagine myself getting lucky, especially in sports betting. I would likely hesitate and regret it if I ended up losing. But it's also really nice to try something new from time to time.

Yes, only a risk taker can do that and those people who has a lot of money because they didn't even care if they will win or not. What"s important to them is to place a bet and let them see what happens. As you've said, gambling is about luck with a little bit of strategy and familiarization that's why there's a small possibility of winning but there's no 100% guarantee.


Before the publicity of Op's friend's winnings, he must have been through a series of losses. Then shows up his win after a big win. It's common for gamblers to share their big wins. However, gamblers take risks in games they're able to analyze. Can't predict correctly any basketball games, but would watch and enjoy the games. A lesser guarantee of winning is what brought him the wins despite numerous cases of losing money, which may not have been unveiled. Hence, it's to anybody's detriment to gamble because of the result of this gambler, they may not be able to go through the challenges of gambling in the early stage. Gambling and not minding the result is a good quality for responsible gamblers but with some criteria that may interest any gambler to practice; self-control, splitting bankrolls, and time limits. A gambler who focuses on having fun can easily wager money without minding his results, while a risk taker who doesn't follow the criteria listed above can experience a gambling problem.

Those criteria can serve as a gambling strategy and also require a bit of luck on the player's side. When in lose it's still okay to hold on before continuing to gamble again. It'll only help in stabilizing our gambling urge and also keep regrets at a minimal level. Regretting after losing in gambling is not wrong, but continuously doing it is quite not recommended for any gambler. Getting to a point where the gambler doesn't regret anymore could be possible and that's a well-known symptom of addiction. Since the gambler is required a long time of play, most the times, to gain a big win like Op's friend. If he doesn't control his emotions, he may not be able to get to that point, of winning big. When the player is prepared to try new things, especially, he's required to follow due routines and understand at first the new game, then keep to a low pace of consistent gambling in the game.

This board has a lot of topic that comprises with the negativity about gambling addiction. Let’s change it for now to support the casino we are promoting here.

In general, I completely agree with you. Because there are many topics on the forum that say a lot of negativity towards gambling, and this despite the paradox that many of us carry signature campaigns from casinos or other gambling organizations. Lol. In fact, not a very large number of players suffer from gambling addiction, like about 10 percent - it all depends on where you study the statistics. And the casino has many advantages - it’s an excellent anti-stress, and the opportunity to make money, or have fun with friends, when someone spins the slots, and others watch and laugh.

I would also like to say THANK YOU to the casino forum representatives for the competitions.

Gambling has lots of negative feedback from society because of the bad publicity most people share regarding gambling due to the actions of addicts. They fail to understand the beneficiaries of gambling, offered to gamblers. Critical thinking skill can be acquired through gambling and casinos also helps the interpersonal relationship skill process. Not every gambler is addicted, and lots of prominent men in top companies still participate in gambling. Most people would think gambling is only for the wayward and irresponsible people in society. It's good Op shared this thread to remind people of the importance of gambling. If people stick to the good aspect of gambling they wouldn't have to suffer from addiction, as it's lack of information that has made society think of gambling as a game with no economic value. The government also earns revenue through gambling which is been used to help the economy of the nation.

Countries like Australia can use the money made through gambling to help mentally ill gamblers, as the number is increasing every day in that region. The end product of gambling in the country leaves people to wonder if the money generated in gambling is worth the problem gambling is inflicting on young people. To battle this, the benefit of gambling should be promoted more to society. Hence new participants would have in mind that gambling isn't bad and they won't suffer addiction. These days the first thing new gamblers have in mind is that they could get addicted, and when they worry about the side effects of gambling, a possibility of getting caught in the circle of problem gambling now erupts in the life of the new gambler. As the power of their thoughts now fights them. Changing the narrative would be more effective in reducing addiction.
1343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Type of gambling and Intelligence on: December 16, 2023, 11:28:48 PM
Are you suggesting that the more a gambler plays a single game his intelligence increases in that specific game? If, yes, I think that's a great way to master the act of performing well in gambling, provided that the gambler isn't deeply into that game. Most football gamblers I've noticed don't analyze their games. They only want to see a high return on the slips and hope on luck that the teams they predicted to win, win. The low rollers don't understand what's in gambling other than trying to get rich quickly in gambling. When reviewing people's bets I hear them say they don't know some teams they added to their slip. Once the premier league has been added to the bets, the gambler looks for football competitions in random leagues, they've heard nothing about and gamble. That doesn't make any sense, although the staked money isn't that significant, but it's not worth the time.

Nonchalant gamblers don't increase their intelligence in gambling, including those who focus only on football games. So, predicting the right games with a significant amount of money can be rewarding if the player invests time in learning methods of game analysis. One reason we see gamblers who don't advance positively in gambling is the love for winning jackpots with smaller money. Looking into slots, for example, the results are quite different for consistent slot players. Because of the uniqueness of the house edge, at most we earn more observing the results of the machine. Black roulette games also prove that being interested in analyzing the results of any game, gamblers can see good results compared to losses. Thereby enjoying their gambling moments. Sometimes in Black roulette, I'd predict accurately the actual number where the ball would stop, which gives me some assurance of being an observant gambler. Though it's rare, with consistent observation gamblers can always dodge too many losses.

The gambler who play the single game will become the professional player in that game.After the gambler become the professional player,he can play the game without any difficulty.He can easy make more money from the gambling game which is the whitelist of that gambler.The gambler with less capital doesn’t understand the slot and dice game.This type of casino game more capital to win the money from the gambling site.After certain percentage of the wager,the gambler may get the chance of winning the game in the gambling site.The less capital gamblers will wager for the certain percentage and get away from the gambling site with the loss at the end.

In slot games, the low rollers can still have chances of winning, but that won't be much like a high roller. However being a high roller in slot games isn't advisable as a gambler, because of the high rate of losses. However in a physical casino, the more you focus on playing using a specific machine, you may be able to understand how it works. Unless the casino changes the settings of the machine, the gambler would have some advantage playing on that exact machine. Some also take advantage of faulty machines, it's another method of earning big in casinos. Hence, the money a gambler will lose before he gets to understand the patterns of playing in slot, may have gotten to huge numbers. At the cost of having fun in gambling, one must be prepared to lose an enormous amount of money accumulated in losses. When the ratio of the wins and losses are matched together, the gambler ends up wondering, where is the profits.

So, to recover the losses when we've mastered the specific game, it'll still take years of winning and losing at the same time. Therefore with our level of intelligence, it's still almost the same as managing our gambling behavior. The sports players have better chances when it comes to intelligent gambling. Analysis of the history and performances of the teams helps in predicting nearly correct games. Unlike slot games, consistency in sports and following analytical news pose as advantageous tools to the gambler. Slot players only have a few strategies to follow, but someday the machine can cough out a huge win in return for the player's time and money. We'll find ourselves happy, but given time the whole money disappears back into the slot machine. While the winners are deemed intelligent, the players with good money management and self-control should also be seen as very intelligent, even when they often lose.
1344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: December 16, 2023, 11:07:46 PM
How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?
Yes, it makes sense OP. There is no difference between a registered prediction company and a private person who predicts games and people invest or pay money to get those games. Perhaps you must have come across one or two prediction companies. Your freind may be good at gambling and needs investment. Its not a bad idea, but its essential if you have seen his previous bets or gambling so that you can confidently give him your money to bet.

Also, most persons that do this are people who are not confident in themselves when it comes to gambling. What they is that they find someone who they can rely on. They give him/her the money and expect returns. Thereby avoiding gambling emotions or feelings.

Your perspective, Agbamoni, to a reasonable point is valid, as the prediction niche is getting lots of traffic. Gamblers now depend on the predictions of such services before staking games on football and other sports. But the comparison isn't similar to the idea of Op, because these people require you to pay for the predictions then the gambler can wager any amount of choice on the game. Not like the scenario where the gambler has to hand out the whole money to be wagered to somebody else's custody and hope on a certain percentage if the game happens to end well. Give a single thought on the reaction of the financier, when the game doesn't play in their favor. Wouldn't he blame his friend for his losses? The person who does that may not or is not a gambler and he won't be fully informed of the high rate of losses in gambling. So, I presume their friendship would be affected, as the odds are against the owner of the money, not the gambler.

The player has nothing to lose, hence his problem would be his friend, he'd lose him as a friend. Money is one fast destroyer of friendship. I'd say that people should gamble with their money and hold themselves responsible for any result they get. Winning is not simple for any gambler, only a newbie who doesn't know this will fall for his friend's gambling results. Previous wins don't make any changes in the future games of the gambler. He could face consecutive losses once he enters such deals with a friend. Receiving consistent losing results from the gambler they relied on, will affect them emotionally, as we can't say for sure if the person borrowed to finance his friend. Who would face the most trouble and have a sleepless night? It can cause the nongambler anxiety, he's also participating in gambling, just that somebody else is making the predictions while he submits money.  
1345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 16, 2023, 10:45:20 PM
What I can call a gambling problem is the inability to follow my instincts in predicting slot games. Sometimes it feels like an issue, but I easily get over it. As I don't think much about the money lost during the process. Whether it'll get to a stage in the future when I can't control such a problem, I'm not sure. But hope it doesn't get to such a level. However, in stopping the problem, moving away from my environment to meet people who don't gamble is always a way to stop certain gambling problems. But in curing or avoiding gambling problems we could affect our relationship with loved ones or family. For instance, when I follow the decision to travel to a place where I'd have other activities that'll keep me gambling-free, those people dear to me would continue reaching out asking me to return to them. This may lead to some arguments in some cases, they'll keep asking why I'm staying away so long. They won't understand that it's my therapy to escape addiction.

However, gambling is the most difficult to solve problem, so I don't hope it gets to that point in my life. Changing habits doesn't completely cure problem gambling, because the player will still have a strong urge to gamble when done with the other activity. Provided the new habit doesn't take the whole day, the gambler can still gamble. While it contributes to reducing the time spent gambling for the player, meeting people and opening up to them about the new issue is a good way to cure problem gambling. Humans tend to keep to their promise when someone closely watches and monitors them to know if they perfectly control the urge to gamble again. Therefore when single, it's better to go book a stay with friends, married people should talk to their family to help them battle the problem. The best form of therapy is developing a good relationship with the addict. When achieved the whole point of therapy has been achieved. Hence our close friend can be our best therapist when facing problem gambling.
1346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 16, 2023, 10:20:05 PM
If you can do that the chance of turning yourself to be addicted is slim, money management and the time that you spend during your gambling session will allow you to be responsible, it's tough but it is better than you feel sorry when the time of addiction already dominated, like how the doctors always saying, prevention is better than cure, playing with care and full responsibility will keep you away from exceeding and from losing a huge bunch of your finances.
Being able to manage ourselves in gambling will certainly not make us addicted to gambling, both in managing the finances we use to gamble and the time we use to gamble, because if we cannot manage ourselves in gambling, of course there will be many bad impacts that will happen to us. So it is very important to be careful when gambling if we don't want bad things to happen to ourselves and the environment around us.

Gambling addiction doesn't affect addicts alone, the people around them get stressed by the strenuous conditions the gambler instigates in their daily activities. When a member of a family gets addicted, it comes to a point where his parents won't have peace. The problem could be arising from different angles. The addict can become aggressive when denied money and the money he spends in gambling could be used to help people in the society. While gambling is not bad, addiction makes it look wrong in the eyes of people. I've been opportune to help cure an addict, his parents always wept over the problem their ward passed through and the disgrace his action brought to their family. Staying out of such problems requires discipline; self control. Casinos need money in exchange for fun. Gamblers need funds in exchange for money. Those who follow the first need, fun, go home happy, and the others most often go home with a frown face.

Transfer of aggression is now thriving amongst gamblers increasing the rate of discomfort they create around their environment. One may ask if these players don't learn from the mistakes or sufferings of other gamblers, but the answer remains that these people can't control the impulse to gamble some more, like Oliver Twist. Preventing gambling only needs limitations. Gambling with no limit creates problems in the brain of the gambler, and in the end, the gambler loses. But, limitation helps the gambler to stop after experiencing the fun he's there to gain. And once tired can rest or whenever he hits his daily time limit can give it a break. Recently, setting aside a specific time for gambling doesn't seem effective in stopping problem gambling, severe money management does the most job. Discussing with our bank manager beforehand to limit our daily expenses, when we feel like the urge to spend much in gambling is erupting really quickly, can help the gambler battle addiction. Staying in control at all times, is the best form of gambling carefully.
1347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: December 16, 2023, 09:54:01 PM
We should not gamble with that money, which if lost, we will have to face big problems later. We should gamble with money we can afford to lose, because gambling is completely uncertain, if you borrow money from someone or gamble with your family's money, thinking that you will win the game and pay it back later, and  If that doesn't happen, if you lose this game, how do you pay that money back to your friend?  Or how to return that money to your family? As a result, you will be in great danger. So gamble with what you can afford to lose.

Great words! Counting on winning in a totally luck-based game is stupid because, unlike in most businesses, you can't affect the result. Play games where you can affect the result, and then count on your win if you know you are skillful. You can still lose but at least no one could blame you that you were acting foolishly like when you lose a fortune in a luck-based game.

Gambling is lucked and players need to be careful about the actions they take because of gambling. Looking at Op's thread beginner gamblers must glance through it, because of the substantial words contained in it. Low self-esteem also affects gamblers to gamble with the money which they can't afford to lose and it's a quick ticket to getting indebted. Curious gamblers don't mind losing it all, provided they've seen other gamblers losing money. Problem gamblers can be pathetic and fail due to other's failure. A player with good self-esteem knows exactly when to stop gambling regardless of the results he gets. Enjoying gambling is like a slogan in the gambling niche, but our losses can't be celebrated all the time. Whenever it goes too high, the right bet is stopping the gambling session. Trying next time also helps in reducing the impulses following the previous losses. Racing at a high speed to meet up with the amount we've lost in gambling destroys the initial fun of gambling; win or loss.

The gambler gets annoyed after all his money is exhausted. Players who gamble in skilled games like card games sometimes don't have to suffer too many losses. But it still depends on luck, because the cards they get can also affect their winning not minding their level of skill in the game. Unless in other noncasino-related games like chess, drought, etc that completely rely on skills, gamblers still depend on luck to exhibit their expertise in some games. As the picture in the thread states; gambling responsibly is the best bet. Winning isn't always dependent on the strategies, sometimes we still lose out trying different ideas and formats. But the urge to continue playing, when controlled is also a part of winning in gambling. When we don't lose we win, and we can stop losing if we stop. Saving up our bankroll for next time contributes to the fun of gambling. Ensuring these patterns are complied by a gambler wouldn't lead him to take any loan, to gamble.
1348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 16, 2023, 09:29:01 PM
Reading the terms and conditions of a casino is tiring, but it's crucial to have them in mind before depositing money on the website. Gamblers who complain about not being attended to or losing out on their accounts didn't run research on the casino's terms of service before playing games in the casino. No matter how lengthy it may seem, having a glance at the most important sections of the TOS like the reason why a player can get banned and denied his winnings wouldn't cost us time. These two regular problems always appear on different gambling review sites and most times the gambler is blamed for not complying with the terms and conditions of the casino. Because he didn't read the lengthy write-ups he get banned and restricted from accessing money. Yes, I do read through the TOS of any online casino I'd want to deposit money and stake games. Even went the extra mile to discuss with the customer service of the casino to understand better about a few terms

that I was not able to grasp the meaning. For any avid reader, the length of a TOS isn't up to the amount of pages in a book. Reading them helps in knowing the different game providers and their restricted countries. The gambler would be aware of the status of his country in the casino's game provider and also differentiate the games to play if the provider isn't compatible with his country. Hence, going through the Terms and Conditions of a casino is crucial and saves the gambler from long-lasting harsh experiences. The only funny aspect of the punishment is that most casinos wait until the player wins his game before they penalize him. Therefore the casino also earns money from the gambler after terminating his account. In a nutshell, since it has to do with money, and we accepted that we've read the Terms and Conditions before joining the casino, the gambler should endeavor and read it. So that when issues like going to court arise the gambler wouldn't be at fault and sanctioned for his carelessness.
1349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? on: December 16, 2023, 09:06:52 PM
This is no joke. Many people do this because they do not want to see any money in their account, something will just be pushing them to gamble, and they will not stop until they waste this money as the case may be. You might call this addiction, but I call it foolishness and a foolish person can be very surprising and will never build but destroy due to his foolishness. This is why it's the worst I see in gambling and detest those who indulge themselves in it.

Indeed these guys who fall into gambling addiction are foolish enough to not control themselves and let urge to gamble overcome them.  I believe these people are sick and need medical treatment or rehabilitation.  Once a gambler falls into an addiction, he will not have any control over their gambling activities so instead of detesting them or feel hatred or dislike, we should try to understand their situation first.  If we can offer help then lend our hand to help them to better themselves.

Detest is not the solution to interacting with gambling addicts.  We should be more open-minded to understanding gambling addict's situation.  One way or another as human beings we are not perfect and sometimes we also do foolish things... 
Gambling should really be just that for fun but on the time that you are already molding up that kind of motive on which you are already that tending to be that desperate on making money
then this is where things turns out to be shit and something that would really be putting up your ass into big trouble when things starts to heat up. This is why it would really be that important
that you should really be that realistic on how you would really be that dealing up with gambling because if you are that hoping for making huge money then this is where mistakes will really be starting. Dont make yourself that greedy because this is the most common issue for most gamblers on which on the time that they do hover themselves with gambling then their first plans and limits
would really bound to be broken once those sudden changed up emotions would kick in.

Calling them foolish won't help addicted players as their situation seems self-inflicted, but to some extent, they shouldn't be blamed. Gambling addiction isn't easy to avoid, and most people fall for it due to a lack of knowledge or even a coach. Reading through many addiction cases online, you'd notice that even the best of gamblers whom people never thought would get addicted, are also victims of addiction. One may be a responsible gambler, but in his life be suffering from difficult experiences, heartbreaks, or something else that makes them feel uncomfortable. The only way of feeling relaxed could be gambling and they may not be able to control their emotions while gambling. Nothing is as painful as gambling while reminiscing on the hard experiences of life. The gambler would forget he'd be making a series of mistakes and have spent lots of time gambling.

Addiction is caused by anxiety and depression and it doesn't mean gambling offers these two problems. yet, people don't care about the root of the person's problem before blaming it on gambling. When a gambler has a bad childhood memory, which is very disturbing and hard to erase, he can get addicted. What led to his addiction, wasn't his fault. Only the therapists understand this and trace it down to the early life of that addicted person, then counsel them from there. However, gambling also contributes more to the problem because of the losses it provides to the players.

Taking loans is not for a financially stable gambler, so the gamblers in this category run out of money due to gambling and it increases their anxiety. At some point, they get to know that their problem is no longer funny, but can't resolve it. They may have in mind to cure themselves with the money, but once the money is approved the gambler would spend it on gambling. Like a story of a man who slept in his car for 3 days, because he used his gas money to gamble, including feeding money. When he called on his family for help, they sent him money, that is after spending another 4 days in his car, once the money arrived, he went immediately to the casino and wagered all of them. You'd see that it's gradually becoming to serious mental problem. Who on earth wouldn't blame such a person? Only the therapist.
1350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: December 16, 2023, 08:45:59 PM
Well I don’t know about others but personally I don’t think it’s a wise idea to lie about one’s betting progress and hiding your losses is one of the easiest ways to run into addiction and trust me when we begin chasing our losses, it is always very difficult to quit and that is why is always advisable to only gamble with the amount of money we are willing to loss as nothing is actually guaranteed in gambling nothing even the winnings or losses.
When someone claims a win, I always ask to see a prove not because I don’t believe them but simply because I want to have reasons and proves to motivate to take the right
Gambling decisions.

Surprising to see that people do that in the first place to show people they're not wasting money on gambling. Winning is a must in gambling, no way a gambler wouldn't win at some point. The house already has an edge where they make out a certain amount of money for each gambler to win. Meaning that for any amount we wager, the house has their percentage and the gambler also does. Hence making some mistakes like this only puts the gambler in a situation of more losses. Because deep down they'll always think privately about the ill behavior they exhibit amongst friends. For instance, I'm also the type of friend who wouldn't care about whether a gambler is lying or framing his winnings, all is needed is to see the actual proof. He'd have to spend some money from his winnings in celebration of his lucky day. Is it not a double loss for the gambler that fakes his results all the time? And because of the proof, most gamblers I've met don't open up after winning.

I think the people Op is referring to in his thread are close to toxic gambling and people now advise them to stop gambling as they don't see any positive results from their gambling. Maybe married men who want to prove to their spouse that gambling also pays. Like in some threads, where a member of this forum said, people only want to associate with a gambler who often wins his bets. The losers are seen as addicted gamblers who don't understand why they're into gambling. These notions from friends and society can lead a naive gambler to do all sorts of things to be seen as a responsible gambler. Thereby deceiving himself thinking that he's deceiving anybody. It's like being at peace with the world and at war with himself. Regret will come very late in the life of the gambler. And nobody would be there to help him if he gets addicted. Taking gambling too far from what is is, can destroy the journey of any gambler; especially new players.
1351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Type of gambling and Intelligence on: December 16, 2023, 08:21:16 PM
Does the type of game you play at a casino or sports you bet on show an individual's level of intelligence or how smart a person is?
Blackjack, Poker, slots, roulette, baccarat, sports betting, horse racing, betting on sociopolitical events, keno, etc.

My favorite is sports betting, although I don't bet on all sports, i have a pretty good analysis of every sporting match that will occur, especially football, sometimes i also like boxing and car racing, but i focus more on analyzing football matches, even though the winning percentage i didn't pass 75%.  Focusing on the bets you are interested in can make your winning percentage higher than the percentage of losses you will receive.

Are you suggesting that the more a gambler plays a single game his intelligence increases in that specific game? If, yes, I think that's a great way to master the act of performing well in gambling, provided that the gambler isn't deeply into that game.

1352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: December 16, 2023, 07:59:10 PM
Does people retire in gambling? Gambling is an activity of choice and we can gamble even when we have retired from our workplace. Gambling is not like our normal jobs that we are going from Monday to Friday and retires when we have worked for about 30 to 40 years. Gambling is completely different from those kind of jobs or activities so I don't expect us to come here and be agitating about getting retired. Retirement is out of gambling, even people that are old are betting everyday without anything like retirement. We can bet and play games anytime we like and that does not need anything like retirement because we are not working for anybody.
That is a big question,  do people retire in gambling,  don't think so, those that gamble for the fun and entertainment will fine a way to do it at all ages long and as long as they can relate their gambling habits to recreational and at the same time staking it will be fun all the way through for them,  many time old age gives you the time to gamble more and at some point, I am forced to even believe that gambling should be done more by older people than you g people.

Because when one retires from active service there is a need to know what to do to keep body and soul together and to prevent sliding into any form of depression.

Gambling helps old people keep their brains busy, relax, and remain active. Staying without engaging in any activity like gambling can leave the old person lonely. Especially for those who gambled as young men. However, they must gamble at minimal time, due to sicknesses like arthritis, which may have been caused by their days of work. But, if a man is strong enough to keep up with the mental problems gambling can cause then it's not an issue to continue gambling without retiring. However, I'd say that at 70-80 years of age, humans are expected to rest from stressful activities. Gambling is stressful in the sense that he'd think of his money lost in gambling, he'd also have to make plans for his next gambling session. Factors required to stay relevant in gambling create stress to the gambler in that age bracket may not be able to maintain such troubles. And at that age he's also in need of managing his money.

Whether rich or poor, old age is a tough time, only a few people are sound and healthy at 80 years. Additionally, the sight blurs too, and online casinos wouldn't be recommended anymore to them. The same applies to offline casinos they won't be able to visit consistently to those places every day. Gamblers who are sound in their 50s and 60s are encouraged to continue gambling, provided they won't waste money meant for their retirement plan. Life after retirement in business is not simple and retirees are of the need to stay on funds. To many gambling won't be an option anymore, because of the risk of losing out. They wouldn't want to take the risk. Young people can easily correct their mistakes, but an aged gambler wouldn't have the luxury of doing other businesses to recover from his losses. Hence, while they gamble it shouldn't be a day-to-day activity to help them stay rolling financially in other lifestyles.

I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.


An interesting observation, but you need to clarify how your observations took place. Did the people you are talking about have the same conditions? What type of gambling was there, at what time, on what day and many other variables.
I think the point is that a rich person has a more free attitude towards money and is not afraid of losing it, therefore he makes decisions more freely, while a poor person is more pressured by responsibility

The gambling decision of a rich man isn't different from anyone else. What we need as gamblers is executing planned techniques. And these action isn't personal to only the rich players. The low rollers still have opportunities to learn ways of making profits in gambling using their strategies. High-rollers who don't plan well can also lose money in gambling. Money management can be perfected by any type of gambler. It only requires some self-control to limit excessive spending in gambling. Pressure, yes, affects the low rollers who are afraid of losing out hard-earned money in gambling. Resulting in careless predictions and losses. Unlike the low roller, the rich gamblers who have self-control and can ease their mind, have a higher advantage in gambling decisions. Gambling out of fear and hastiness only leads to losses and players who do this, often lose control oftentimes and spend time looking for ways to free themselves from the mistake.

If a rich gambler isn't inclined enough about what Adultcrypto thinks of them, he'll be a victim of such mistakes. And he'd also lose out like anybody else. The high rollers who win big follow gambling ethics and the same applies to low rollers who win their predictions. Differences can only be detected in the amount won, as the high roller will get more than a low roller, but the happiness goes to both parties. Which remains the main fun of winning in gambling. So, in clarifying his observations, I'd use celebrities who have published their gambling results online or those I've read about their gambling behavior. The risk is quite high on them, due to the figures they wager, but the winning is worth the risk. Especially those who bet on football or poker games. The advantage of being a rich gambler is doing the right thing in gambling. Other than that, it's unfair for a rich gambler not to know much about gambling. His money will be wasted at the cost of chasing for a win. And if care is not taken he'd run broke. I'd suggest, to enjoy the fun, that a rich gambler should also be a good and smart gambler.
1354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: December 16, 2023, 06:48:24 PM
Successful gamblers are never addicted to gambling because they are always patient and keep gambling patiently without panicking and do not gamble for a long time together, gamble with a break and cool and withdraw immediately if they get a big win. Because they know very well that if they keep gambling like that, they will eventually lose them all. And panic gamblers always want to get rich quickly, which is why they quickly exhaust their gambling budget by placing high-amount single bets and re-deposit.  In this way they suffer huge losses financially and they can never be successful
What good praises for successful gamblers! But you are indeed wrong, successful gamblers are the most addicted if you must know, but the only difference is that since they are making money from it, they don't care about the addiction and will even love to do it more. And guess what? People will also encourage them to gamble since it's not negative for them. Money-making avenue will always be an excellent avenue for everyone, it's only when you are investing your money but you are losing that caution would be exercised by you, if wise, or people advising you in this regard. This one again reveals that losers are the ones that people get to focus their beam at and to talk down on and say all sorts of bad remarks about, simply because they do not show any good result for what they are doing. This is unlike the winners, just like you are praising them now, they show good results for it to the point that you do not see the addiction therein. We often overlook the things we do that give money since it cannot affect our life negatively even if we are addicted to them, but can't still stop us from relating it to addiction even if it's positive. Everyone however wants a positive addiction, after all, they have nothing to lose doing it.

Gambling success depends on so many factors which isn't concerned with the way you describe the winners, Victor. Being a successful gambler doesn't mean the player has to win every single moment he gambles. Most time they still lose money, but have a way of dealing with risks. When a gambler is successful he has nothing to do with addiction. If he gets addicted then he is not successful in gambling. Those who appear as successful gamblers like in any other department, are the gamblers who issue advice on gambling addiction and also lecture other gamblers on different strategies needed to bypass too many risk factors in gambling. They're mostly authors and also go on tour with some TV shows that ask them gambling questions. Most of them are famous for winning at a certain time big prizes through gambling.

Coming to the idea that follows your response, it's wrong to think that every loser is addicted to gambling, the same way the winners are. Any gambler in both categories, addicted or not, still has a chance of winning. Indeed nobody wants a loser, but winners who are addicted will have no reason to be successful in gambling because it has to do with mental problems. Whenever a person is mentally ill, is worse than physically illness. Don't misplace consistent gambling as an addiction. They're both different things, visiting a specific place every day maybe your workplace doesn't mean you can't do without visiting that place. Most people you see win money through gambling, fine will want to be consistent, but someday they go on a gambling vacation. Where they'll never have a reason to gambler for some months. Addicted players can't do it, as their brain has been disordered and only knows gambling. Which draws a line of difference between a successful gambler and an addicted one.

Gambling may look like fun for the rich, but there are big risks. Their big bets increase wins and losses. A double-edged sword. Remember that gambling's hazards are the same regardless of bankroll size. Wealth does not guarantee gambling immunity, a harmful myth. Jackpot winners risk relapsing into previous behaviors. Their narrative warns that even the wealthy can fall if they are irresponsible.

That's why it would be more harmful if a rich man suddenly gets addicted to gambling, we've heard about millionaires going bankrupt and loosing everything they've worked so hard for just because of their gambling addiction, if a poor man looses all his fortune due to gambling, it wouldn't be as depressing as when a rich man does because the poor barely has enough but the rich has more than enough to loose. No wonder we rarely hear about rich people who are addicted to gambling.

Many rich CEOs and top managers in different US companies work hard not to be victims of gambling addiction. Gambling precautions are all about sticking to the information we've read and the experience we had in gambling. The rich didn't become rich via gambling, and rarely would they allow themselves to get poor through gambling. But as Slapper said, it doesn't have any boundaries, anybody can be a victim of problem gambling. The case is unique according to our status. Think of it, many people are in the life of a rich man; managers, doctors, employees etc. These people also contribute to questioning the lifestyle of the rich person and he wouldn't be a gambler without the consent of those people in his life.

Most of them go to casinos with their financial managers, even the lawyers are sometimes aware of their boss being a gambler. These things matter in restricting him from getting addicted. As he'd be getting notifications from all angles whenever he begins to make mistakes in gambling. Then he'll start correcting them in the early stage of his addiction. However, not all rich men have this status, some are only rich and have no human resources to advise them on their gambling activities. This type of rich man can easily lose out lots of money in gambling. However, the stories of gambling CEOs can be inspiring as most of them made huge profits through gambling and used it to finance their business. It all boils down to the strategy and managerial skills of the said CEO. It's safer to have people around who are aware that we gamble to help us battle addiction.

Unlike the rich, low rollers battle alone when faced with problem gambling, they have all odds against them, and they won't be able to win the fight. Comparing the jackpot winner's losing syndrome to that of a rich gambler still has some arguments attached to it, as the rich player has other sources of income to sustain him when down with funds due to addiction. His main problem would be mental health problems. Because while his money goes low, his financial manager or accountant would take fast moves to limit his expenses in the bank. Hence his account may be blocked declining his transactions for a certain duration until he's good again to run his company. But before we get things right, it's always great to know that it depends on the rich man's status.
1356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: December 15, 2023, 07:24:26 PM
Deceiving oneself is the worst part of deceit. Saying lies to others just to standout as a prominent gambler while suffering losses won't help the gambler. Inexperienced gamblers would prefer telling lies and covering up with personal money when asked by friends to prove they won the game. Lying to ourselves means not taking responsibility, it'll cost the gambler double of his losses. He'll spend in the casino and also use extra of his savings to show as proof of winning. Acting in a childish way as a gambler would endanger the gambling experience of the player. Unless his friends or family don't care about his winnings, he'd be safe to say those lies. Other than that, our friends expect us to spend with them when we win gambling, or else they won't believe it. Being truthful to ourselves as gamblers also helps us grow and take remorse for making some gambling-related mistakes. I'm not used to seeing such gamblers but only testify of gamblers who don't complain about winning.

They only complain to friends when experiencing losses. Whenever their game gets positive, the gambler would hide it from his friends and eat his profits alone. Only a few genuine gamblers open up after winning a significant amount. Not sure whether they made it up or lied. However, it's another reason why people should join gambling not because of the winning outcomes of their close friends, but their personal decision. It's similar to the results of streamers that seem like lies to most gamblers, yet it has moved lots of naive people to venture into gambling without prior research and end up regretting their actions. So, with Op's discussion, not minding whether the player is telling the truth or lying, the recipient should always do their research. Otherwise, they'll also be in a similar condition, where telling lies to friends to prove a point thrives. I've only noticed a few gamblers who open up after winning in gambling. Surprised to have read gamblers lying to proof a point.

Working as a casino dealer is another option Tongue

In other words, the only guaranteed method to make money from a gambling outlet is to be a part of the casino. Previously I told about investing in the casino's bankroll, but there is also the option of being a worker in the casino. Its an office job and not related to gambling directly.

Be the casino and you will get a good earning, but most of us can only dream of being one. Grin

Becoming a casino, in your context, requires lots of money to begin with, and not all gamblers have the luxury of getting trusted by investors who would want to invest in their new business idea. Hence, as a gambler who wants to make gambling a profession, it's crucial to think of ways to provide services that gamblers would need. Selling of sports predictions is quite getting huge traction in the internet market, gamblers patronize the sellers and prefer relying on them for all gaming analysis. The same applies to other methods of earning money through gambling, like affiliate programs and marketing. Moving into the topic, gambling as a profession requires lots of calculation and determination. Not everyone who has done it was able to succeed. Gamblers who move forward with their gambling venture still get bored in the process. Imagine spending all day gambling; offline or online.

Working hours building strategies that work and implementing them on different house edges, requires dedication. In offline gambling, staying alone gambling in a hotel, is strenuous. Limited time with loved ones and associating with other social activities, is not worth the stress. Other than that, gambling as a profession is dependent on the amount of money the player is ready to gamble with. After calculating the house edge the player should be able to know the amount of money that'll carry him through his career. Match it with the wins available for him and then play games forever, without running out of money. These also require the daily gambling amount and time to spend each day. The player can choose to gamble 5 hours in the morning and the evening. Provided he's a member of a comp club, he won't spend too much on hotel bills and food. He'll have enough points to cover those bills, he'll only have to bother about his invested money. Using a well-calculated strategy he won't run out of money ever, in the offline casino setting. But, doing similar things online wouldn't be possible. The focus will be divided compared to an offline casino professional player.
1358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Type of gambling and Intelligence on: December 15, 2023, 05:26:18 PM
No one is stupid, there are also people who are lazy and people want to try. and the type of gambling they choose and what they play, it will show whether someone is lazy enough or not. and gamblers who are lazy enough to try to increase their chances of winning in their gambling activities, they will choose the gambling that is easiest to play, without going through any calculations or analysis. And that type of gambling is slots. Because slots are the easiest type of gambling game to play, but unfortunately the chances of winning are very small.

Meanwhile, for someone who is willing to try, they will choose a type of gambling that can give them a higher chance of winning, even though to get this win they have to carry out quite a complicated process, such as doing match analysis.

That's just a basic perspective, because someone is lazy and careless, they will try all kinds of gambling. However, when they do calculations or carry out analysis, they do it carelessly.

Analyzing games out of laziness wouldn't be effective and it signifies the player doesn't have the intellectual capacity to consecutively win games. Lazy gamblers have less knowledge of gambling compared to other responsible gamblers, and a good number of lazy gamblers end up becoming too attached to gambling. A slot game is preferable for this type of gambler as no skill is required to play the game, however with attentive observations, the player can be a bit ahead of the house, but lazy players will stay behind, therefore having losses. Initially, they want to invest little time analyzing games to get the fun immediately, but with loads of losses, the gambler ends up feeling sad. But, if they are careless about the results; win or lose. No problem. Slot games can be enjoyable for such a player who plays with no strategy and only wants to feel the video game thrills. Being able to control his emotions and manage his funds, are the only requirements such a player needs to continue staying responsible as a lazy gambler.

But, with the few precautions he's got in mind for staying money-conscious regardless of his laziness in being observant in building winning strategies, he can be considered an intelligent gambler. Who isn't concerned about the wins? The scenario can only get worse if the player is careless about managing his funds or limiting his gambling time duration. He'll only face more difficulty in gambling and spend time struggling to understand why he's losing too much time and also in another gambling condition; addiction. The intellectual aspect of gambling is very crucial in saving newbies and professionals from multiple mistakes. That doesn't mean the players, lazy or hardworking, wouldn't win at the time of gambling. The clear difference is that lazy gamblers with no courage to follow a gambling strategy don't know how to manage the won money. They lose control and wager it all without taking a single profit. That means all their money both wagered and won goes back to the house.

A gambler's intellectual power can be determined through his winnings in gambling. In the above-listed games, mathematicians can predict games correctly and get more wins. As the odds behind the scenes are also calculated with mathematical formulas. The difference is that anybody can gamble and win, despite having zero knowledge about gambling. In this case, their instincts are questioned to be extraordinary. However, since consistently winning in gambling isn't a simple task and those who win always feel a bit more intelligent than the losers, it's safe to say, to win, gamblers need to be intelligent. Aside from academic intelligence, gambling requires strategies regardless of our level of education. Professional gamblers who have been gambling for significant years will still have a great knowledge of what works or doesn't in gambling. Using these factors winning gambler has some intellectual advantage in gambling, that helps them stay ahead of the house.

Although, it should be known that gamblers will lose out. Hence they need to apply precautions even with their high intellectual ability, or else they can still make mistakes. Looking at the aspect of irresponsible gamblers, you'd notice that they have lesser gambling-related knowledge. A high number of addicted gamblers spend time gambling without being observant or paying attention to the way the machine works. Following the few gambling ethics and strategy still requires intelligence. Not getting addicted, limiting the amount of money we wager, understanding gambling is for fun, and critical thinking are all characteristics of being an intelligent gambler. So, the importance of gambling is being calculative and observant so as not to make heartbreaking mistakes. The addict could be highly intellectual in other fields of life but somehow wasn't educated in the gambling niche. Therefore, they lose more and can't help but continue to lose a big amount of money in gambling.
1360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Target your wins in a series of bets on: December 15, 2023, 09:10:12 AM
One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.

This is my approach and through it, I don't get depress over few loses. This method works for me and I feel it will also work for others. Your opinion are highly welcomed.
That probably be possible but you wouldn't know the outcome if you'll really hit that bet, that will totally depends on the odds/multiplier that you use in the end that matters. Well, a balanced mindset of the player will matter here too because you probably overlook the series of bets here if you already got 7 streak loss and you want to fullfil that 4 bets of winning. It's a matter of discipline.

Discipline only comes into play when the player is focused on stopping his gambling session after staking 10 games. Which is also a great strategy for any gambler who wants to manage his money. Risking our money with the strategy that promises 4 wins after playing 10 is not realistic. More like hoping that after 10 games the player is sure of winning 4 times. This mindset will easily get broken and the player loses control after 10 plays with no significant win, up to 4 times. He'd want to try until he hits at least 8 wins after playing 20 games. Believing maybe that luck wasn't on his side. Strategies like this don't fit right for any type of gambling, but sporting games are quite preferable for it. Using it on the slot will only cause the player to lose more and get disappointed for not winning the same way as OP promised. However, the goal is to remain as cautious as possible and these strategies most often fail the gambler.

A few losses don't get the OP depressed meaning he doesn't wager huge amounts. A nonobservant gambler who didn't go through Op's statements will try to win a huge amount by staking a significant amount, trusting that the strategy will get him 4 wins. So, Op's statement carries no power, and the strategy is just like telling people to play 15 games that the possibility of winning 6 times is 1. Visit a gambling house where people book football games and you'll notice that most gamblers stake money on every possible odd in a match and end up losing. The printouts are always too many that the player would feel sure of winning at least one game. But to his greatest surprise, none would yield him a win. I only prefer gambling technique that helps save money, not the ones that guarantee a win. In gambling winning is not guaranteed. We are only sure of losing money.
