It depends on the person still. But yes, most reckless gambling occurs after a win. This is because they feel confident that they could win again. This is not wrong since it's good to play if you are at peace with your bet. However, if there will be too much confidence, you might end up neglecting the risks because of being too proud that you can replicate your win for the next time around. If you win, don't let it get into your head because it could be the cause your downfall. Being too complacent whenever betting and playing can build a mindset that could tear you apart. You should still assess and analyze the situation before you bet. If you possess the skills, knowledge, and luck to risk some more.

You still have to assess and analyze the situation before betting. If you have the skills, knowledge, and luck, take more risks.

If they win, they think that the gambling situation is good, so that they can try gambling again for a few rounds. In fact, this is the beginning of gambling addiction because if they continue gambling, their emotions and self-control may decrease. Eventually, they will lose self-control and become emotional, which will have an impact on their decision to end the gambling game. With that win, they think that they still have luck, which can help them to win in the next round, and they even think about increasing their bet so that their winnings will also increase. But the storyline is not like that because gambling is not a place to make money, and they can experience bigger losses than before, which can even cost them their winnings.

I don’t keep records of my gambling stats, I’m too lazy to be honest and I gamble for fun, to make games and tournaments more interesting. I am not gambling in desperation for additional income.

It’s all a matter of personal choice, there is no right or wrong. The only thing to remember is to practise responsible gambling. Don’t bet more than you can afford to lose.
For someone that is just gambling for fun this is not really a problem as you know very well where are your limits and you can stop gambling at any moment, but for those that have plans to attempt to become professional gamblers this is a must, and this is because just a few weeks down the line you will forget about most of the details that led you to take a bet, but if you take records and even write down the reason why you took the bet then you can evaluate yourself and correct any mistakes you may have made at the time.
Every gambler will know how important gambling records are for them, so they will make gambling records or not make them. But we agree that we must practice responsible gambling, especially as we already know that many people lose self-control when gambling, so this must be our main concern to prevent ourselves from experiencing a loss of self-control too.

Perhaps those who record their gambling want to know how much they gambled and how much money they used. But as time goes by, they may not continue to keep a gambling record because they feel there is a burden behind the gambling record when they see that the number of losses is greater than the number of wins. But if they can use their gambling records well, they can be used as material for their consideration and evaluation to be more responsible when gambling.
1363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? on: November 06, 2023, 02:29:45 PM
I am not living in my parent's house and also have not been gambling too much that makes anyone to notice me gambling as most times I only gamble just to have fun and at a period when I want to ease stress and sleep, so with that level of gambling I don't think I have much to worry about.
But I know if my mum who is my only surviving parent knows that I gamble she may likely not say anything because she knows I am an adult and will take care of myself and avoid possible addictions or any form of gambling problems.
It's best if you don't need to gamble even though you can still overcome your gambling. We know that gambling can easily tempt someone who doesn't gamble very often to gamble more often because when we are gambling, we find something different that cannot be explained. And even though your mother will find out if you gamble and won't say anything, in her heart, she doesn't want to see you get into trouble for gambling. Your mother already knows you gamble, but it's as if she doesn't know. But if you still want to gamble before you sleep, you should really control your gambling and don't let gambling drag you into problems you can't imagine. You have to really take care of yourself well.
1364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: November 06, 2023, 01:50:57 PM
I agree financing is not a problem for rich people they have a lot of money. But those who have less money will never take risk in terms of financing because there is no exact guarantee of winning in gambling. That's why I'm afraid to take risks casinos can fund their interests because losing wins is theirs. Even if you have good skills if you lose your close friends will be at risk so it is better to stay away from here in terms of financing. Don't think it's easy to do not to mention the gamblers and hoarders around us who are risking their business lives for this funding.
But it would not be wise to finance someone to gamble because in gambling, he will not have a greater chance of winning than he loses. If he has skills in sports betting, he may be able to win, but there is still no guarantee he can win, and if he loses, he will not be able to pay you the money he borrowed. Those who want to borrow money to gamble will look at their friends' financial conditions so they can estimate how much money they can borrow. But the money he will use for gambling may not be able to be returned in a short time because if he loses, it means he has to find money so he can pay the loan.
1365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Conclusion after losing millions! that games are rigged. on: November 06, 2023, 01:31:59 PM
Even though people lose more in the casino but still no one complains that the casino is rigged or unfair. Do you know why?
The reason is simple. Every gambler knows how the casino works and gambler still tries their luck that even with the house edge advantage to the house, they still have a chance to win big and this hope keeps motivating the gamblers to keep risking their money.
If they still hope like that, they still have no chance of winning because it will depend on their luck. And they will avoid scam casinos because they have researched every casino they want to use for gambling. But it's different if they just choose the casino at random, so there is a possibility that they will experience fraud that the casino will carry out. That's what causes people to return to gambling to try to win the gambling games they like, so that will be their motivation always to try to gamble. Moreover, a trusted casino will refrain from cheating its customers because that would destroy its reputation, especially if the news spreads widely.
1366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Flip or Trade? What’s The Bigger Gamble? on: November 06, 2023, 12:50:19 PM
eventho day trading is known to be extremely risky this isn’t a fair comparison at all

gambling is played on chance purely based on luck to say that gambling is like trading might be disrespectful to those who dedicate their time learning about the market traders need to have both the knowledge and the skill which are things you necessarily don’t need in gambling anyway the point is day trading might be intimidating but it’s not a game of luck and you can gain wins by being a good strategist
If trading is done without analyzing the market, it is the same as gambling because we are just guessing where the market will move and what coins will increase. But if they can analyze to find coins that have a chance of increasing, they are not gambling because they are analyzing one by one the list of coins they have collected. And that is why traders must continue to hone their skills to analyze coins that have the potential to increase.

Even though sports betting requires analysis to find the right team, it is still gambling and different from trading.
1367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 06, 2023, 12:22:38 PM
Yes and No, it's all about trying to see what you will get and not all results will be the same, even if you are luck once you won't be lucky next time, I have not do this before and I don't think I will do such because to me it feels like a desperation to win.

The only thing that comes to my mind when gambling is if I don't have the money then I am not going to gamble, as little as I risk on gambling, sometimes I still find it hard to gamble, that's because I understand it very well, I am probably going to lose the money, so I always make sure that I have that amount that I am willing to lose before I start gambling.

Since the money I am risking is small I don't mind taking the risk myself, you don't even know how good those you copied are, and moreover gambling isn't about been good at it, this is about how well you can manage losing your money.
There is a risk behind copying other people's bets because their bets are not guaranteed to win. You can copy other people's bets but you don't need to place bets with big money because if you lose, you can lose that money. It is better for you to use small money to copy the bet. After all it is a quick way to place a bet without doing anything and we just know that it will not guarantee us to win. But if you are willing to accept all the risks, including the risk of losing, you can continue because gambling is for fun so it is normal if you place bets by copying other people's bets.

And in copying this bet, we only depend on luck so that we can win the bet. We don't need to analyze the match to find which team has a greater chance of winning because we are just copying other people's bets.
1368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: November 06, 2023, 11:53:15 AM
~snip~
Curiosity is one of the common features among children especially the very smart ones because they will always want to engage in what they do not have full knowledge of  just because they want to learn new things but it is the work of adults around them to help guide them on what to know and what not to know.
Playing gambling in front of kids is absolutely bad as it'll increase the chances of seeing them engage in it even when they do not know the negative effects of gambling. So as adults, it is advisable that we regulate the kind of things we engage ourselves in other to for kids around us not to go astray as a result of things we expose them to.
Children today are very intelligent compared to children a few years ago. They understand things more quickly than they have only seen for the first time and can get used to learning new things. Indeed, they still need guidance from adults so they can better understand what they are doing. And if they see adults gambling in front of them, they will become curious and want to find out more about the gambling game. And if they are not accompanied or get guidance from adults, they can find out on their own, and maybe they will also start trying to gamble with their friends. This interaction with their friends can trigger their curiosity to become even greater, along with the number of gambling games they know about. And if there is still no attention from adults, they can get deeper into gambling, and once they grow up, they can become gambling addicts.
1369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should Casinos Sponsor Sites That Deals With Gambling Addiction on: November 06, 2023, 11:29:41 AM
The casino will not be responsible if someone becomes addicted to gambling because gambling is a business where the casino provides gambling games and allows people to come to visit the casino and gamble. People should be responsible for themselves when gambling and not be greedy in chasing wins. They should also be able to control themselves, not to try to recover from the defeat they have experienced so that it will not give them bigger problems. But it seems that people really don't understand that gambling can give them problems and that they can even develop a gambling addiction. But if the casino intends to provide a site that can help gambling addicts cure their gambling addiction, maybe gambling addicts can get a solution to cure their gambling addiction. It will depend on the gambling addict whether they want to accept help from the casino or whether they do not want to admit that they are addicted to gambling.
1370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Telegram Casinos good or bad? on: November 06, 2023, 10:58:29 AM
In some of the posts I see, sometimes this makes me a little confused, where on the one hand there are some people who assume that they want a simple gambling platform, which does not require further verification regarding KYC and others. However, on the other hand, there are also people who assume that this is a gambling platform that cannot be guaranteed regarding the safety of its visitors and this is a gambling platform that only encourages someone to become one of the victims of fraud cases committed by irresponsible casinos. . I don't know what is right and what is wrong, but what is certain is that you should always be careful in deciding where you will gamble because this will have a big impact on the gambling activities you carry out.
The important thing is you can choose a casino that is suitable for you because even though the casino will enforce KYC on its members, if you are suitable for gambling at that casino, you will carry out KYC. This casino also provides better security than other casinos, so you can rest assured that when gambling, you don't need to look for another casino because you have found the right one for you. There may be other casinos on Telegram. But I still prefer the usual casino, especially since I have never gambled using Telegram.

I think the reason for all this bonuses on crypto casino is because of its still in a growing stage and all these tactics are actually to draw more customers to this section of gambling and I believe it's working because most people are actually interested in using or gambling on crypto site because of the massive promotions that most of the sites offer and I wont lie, even myself will choose a crypto gambling site over regular gambling sites. Although most of the site are not all that trusted because so many company are rushing into the industry due to the massive boom.
We have felt what we can get from crypto casinos, so we still choose crypto casinos over fiat casinos. Apart from that, by using this crypto casino, we can choose from many crypto casinos, especially from this forum, which already has many trusted crypto casinos. Crypto casinos often provide huge promotions that really attract gamblers, and this is what makes many fiat gamblers move to crypto casinos. Moreover, in crypto casinos, we can gamble by hiding our identity. As long as we only gamble with small amounts of money, we will not be asked to carry out verification, especially if we only gamble occasionally.
1372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: November 06, 2023, 09:54:21 AM
Basically, gambling is a trick that attracts people's attention to carry out gambling activities by being willing to spend the money they have in order to make a profit there, so that people will easily be tempted by all kinds of tricks put out by bookies, and can become people who cannot control themselves. well, you will be easily hypnotized by this trick.
Of course, feeling the impact of the gambling we do will prevent us from gambling excessively and will of course make us aware of the experiences that have occurred in gambling, especially if we often experience defeat, as time goes by we will realize this. We must reduce gambling activities so that it does not become too heavy a burden in our lives.
People don't need to spend too much money when gambling and only use enough money. But indeed, gambling can make them forget to control themselves, so many of them still deposit more money because they think they can win from gambling if they deposit more money. But that's not the reality because by depositing more money, they have the possibility of experiencing losses and losing all the money they just deposited rather than winning. And if they still can't realize that they have made a mistake, they can keep depositing more and more money, and in the end, they will only experience a gambling addiction. If they are addicted to gambling, it will not be easy to cure it because it requires effort and hard work to realize that they are addicted to gambling and want to admit it and be willing to undergo the healing process.
1373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: November 06, 2023, 09:36:57 AM
~snip~
I think that's one of the best ways to get rid of a bad addiction, switch it with a good addiction.

For example, get that "high" from going out for a run, or creating something. That's a much better use of your limited time on earth than gambling.

At the end, it will probably require much more time to have a negative consequence from those positive addictions than gambling.
By replacing gambling activities with other more useful activities, we can see that we can get other interesting things, which of course, can divert our minds from gambling so that we will not continue gambling, which will cost us a lot of money. If we can distract ourselves from gambling by doing other things, we can avoid losing money on gambling because other activities may not require as much money to be enjoyable.

~snip~
You have the appropriate approach to handling addiction, and it is important to gamble it with seriousness. The key to success is control; more control than ever if you will. It all comes down to establishing and maintaining boundaries. You must be tough with yourself.  It's important that you diversify your routine and occupy your mind and body with activities that are beneficial to your health and well-being

Also, let's talk about balance, which is huge, important, and everything. You need to engage in healthy activities that will stimulate your body and mind without endangering it more. It's similar to managing a business in that you need to have the right people in the right positions and the appropriate habits in the correct quantities in your personal life

Reducing gambling is a big win, it's huge. It indicates that you're regaining control and becoming the boss. And we desire it, isn't that right? Not some addiction, but ourselves, is what we want to be in control of. Thus, keep going, keep pushing, and never forget that the goal is to start something good as opposed to merely stopping something unpleasant. And that's how you overcome the odds and win
Self-control is what every gambler must have if they still want to gamble responsibly. The problem is that many gamblers lose control of themselves when they get pleasure from gambling and think that by using more money, they can get bigger wins and greater pleasure. And indeed, we should be able to have more activities to help us divert attention from gambling so that we can also reduce the use of money for gambling.

If we balance having fun and doing what we should, we will not experience serious problems because our bodies also need to do other things, especially physical activity, to maintain our health. By doing physical activity, we can balance everything and also divert our minds from unnecessary things so that we can manage our lives well.

We are the boss, so we must manage everything in our lives. We don't want to experience gambling addiction, especially since we have seen the impact of gambling on gamblers, so we have to be more careful and always try to limit our gambling. And if we can find other pleasures outside of gambling, it will give us the balance we want to achieve. But we can still gamble as usual but with good self-control so that we don't experience serious problems such as gambling addiction.

yes, that's just some people, and I'm sure there are still many people who are responsible for their gambling, who still care about their financial health and don't really expect big wins at gambling because of that.
It's impossible, like looking for a needle in a haystack, even though getting even a small profit is already very grateful.
I personally take more into account the expenses I will use for gambling, limit my finances to a minimum and don't chase losses when the money I use has run out.
We also have to be responsible for our gambling and not gamble excessively, let alone expect to win big. If we can win, we must be grateful for having won. Remember that in gambling, winning is very difficult, and not everyone can win. I also always calculate my expenses when gambling and will not deposit more money on the same day, especially when I gamble; I always try to limit the use of the money. I will not chase losses because I have experienced bigger losses that I could not imagine before, so by always limiting the money for gambling, that is what I can do.
1375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: November 06, 2023, 08:43:52 AM
~snip~
It is because of the need to know the exact age of gamblers that some online casinos do ask their customers to complete their KYC before they can fully be able to gamble on their platform. Sometimes people misunderstand the reasons behind the request for KYC but I think the age factor is one of them.
Children under 18 aren't supposed to be allowed to gamble wether online or offline because they are believed to be mentally immature to engage in gambling as most of them are not mentally strong enough to handle the negative effects of gambling. So I think every adult who notices any form of gambling engagement from children should do everything possible to discourage them from gambling in other to save their future.
The KYC request from the casino to its customers is made so that the casino does not get into trouble with the regulator because there may be many children under 18 who gamble at the casino, so the casino wants to prevent them from gambling. But even so, there may be children who borrow an adult's identity to verify their account so they can bypass the money limit. This requires every adult to supervise every activity of children under 18 so they will not gamble prematurely. Maybe they can gamble if they are mature enough, have mental readiness, and can control themselves so they don't become addicted to gambling.

Of course because the rich have more ability to continue to follow their curiosity because they have more finances than us, basic needs are no longer a problem for them because they are already at a financial point that can sustain their lives, even more than that. That makes sense buddy, there is no point in us competing with them in terms of the power of money allocated to gambling, because obviously casinos will never see whether you are rich or poor, whoever you are it is still ultimately luck that will determine whether you win or lose.

In gambling everything will run randomly, I have one friend who can be said to be quite new in his involvement in gambling, he always allocates an amount that is not intentional or not intended (small budget) but strangely it doesn't take long for him to be able to get a win with the maximum percentage according to the risk of the bet, while I myself have never gotten a maximum win like that even though I have been gambling for quite a long time and even occasionally with a fairly large budget. So with this alone we can already conclude that whether you are rich or not, whether you are a beginner or an experienced one, basically the casino will not see all of that. So the final result will really depend on your own luck, and it's better to use a small budget.
Instead of competing with those who have more money than us, we should gamble just for fun and not compete with them. So we don't need to spend a lot of money on gambling, let alone competing with rich people. We must be able to allocate our money for many things, including gambling, especially if we only have limited money. And it's true that the casino doesn't see who the gamblers are who gamble in the casino, so the casino will wait for the money to flow into the casino's wallet.

Your friend has good luck, so he only uses small capital but can get big wins. You can't compare yourself with your friends because your luck will be different, and you won't be able to win like your friends even though you have the chance to win. And it's true what you say, that everything depends on the luck of each gambler, so we can't expect big wins like other gamblers get.

Are you positive or negative on casinos asking for log-in frequently or do you feel unsafe in putting your login details every time?
I'm used to this set up and not a problem if they often ask for my login details everytime I open a browser. In fact, I prefer this one rather than keeping myself logged in on the particular site (even for other users it is convenient) just to save time and hassle. However, it's a different thing if i'm already logged in, then I hit the backspace or check their other features then they will ask for my login details once again even i'm not closing the browser, in this case it's hassle and annoying even it's for security.
It will be a form of security for us if we ever want to gamble, we have to log in to enter our gambling account. It can also prevent hacking, which may have used vulnerabilities in browsers that we don't know about so that hackers can use the loopholes to get into our gambling accounts. With this login facility, we have implemented one of the most basic parts before we log in to our gambling account, so it would be even better if we also activated the 2FA feature or something similar so that our gambling account would be even safer. But whatever it is, every gambler will find which one they like and use it even though it may not be safe for other gamblers. And they already know how to deal with it if something goes wrong, so we'll see it as unsafe when for them, it's perfectly safe.

We all know that a child's curiosity will lead them to the wrong path, just like that, if they're still exposed in an environment wherein they can see that the people in their surrounding is playing a gambling and doing some kind of thing which is not suitable for kids, there's a tendency that they will do the same thing in the future.  Today's society makes it very easy for children to be led to digital addiction. Based on the article that I've read before "Some young people have told me that they first started gambling because they simply wanted to understand what was in gambling for their mother or their father, who were absent from their lives in many different ways."
If a child's curiosity is not guided, they will take the wrong path, and if they find out about it from their peers, it will also not provide the solution because their peers may not know the truth. This will set them all on the wrong path, and if no one cares about it, they will still be there gambling until their parents or adults find out. This will allow them to fall into gambling addiction easily, so there will be more cases of underage children experiencing gambling addiction. This requires more serious handling from parents to guide their children well and not take them on the wrong path. After all, if their children do not take the wrong path, it is for their children's future when they grow up.

It would be better to check live then those who are younger will be caught easily you can't hide your information and it will come out. Nowadays it is really difficult to guess whether they are adults or not even if they are asked to do kyc through online gambling. Many minors gamble on mobile phones those who are minors whose intelligence is very sharp they submit the information with another's ID card in this case even if the casino verifies through kyc they will not understand whether they are minors.
The problem with online gambling is that casinos don't know who the users are so underage children can easily gamble using online casinos. If they know about crypto, they will probably use crypto casinos more often to gamble because crypto casinos are better able to hide the identities of their customers so they can gamble freely. Adults around them will also not know what they are doing because with easy access to the internet and underage children being able to access crypto casinos using their smartphones, they can gamble freely. But when it's time to verify their gambling account, they might borrow an ID card from an adult to find their account has been verified easily.
1380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 05, 2023, 04:21:31 PM
I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?
There are people who don’t see gambling as a source of income. They play mostly for the thrill and entertainment and wouldn’t concentrate much on their losses. There would obviously be some wins and they may lose more than they win but won’t be really bothered as they don’t play for the sole purpose of how much to be won.
Then there are people who are eager to win and would continue to play even after losing continuously. Those people are driven by the need to win a life changing amount. They would play hoping for the big win and won’t be deterred by losses.
If they can't see the number of losses because they are too happy playing gambling, they also won't realize that they have experienced more losses and have lost a lot of money. The winnings they get are only small amounts of money, and they will not be able to recover the losses they have incurred from gambling. They will probably continue to experience losses if they do not stop gambling and take a break from gambling.

And if there are people who use gambling to meet their daily needs, that person will regret it because they will only lose their money even though they could use the money to meet their daily needs. He just didn't realize it and still wanted to continue gambling to achieve his dreams, but it had to be paid dearly by losing all his money. So is it still worth it for them? They will know.
