There are many stories of people who have achieved great things by patiently gambling but it is not a source of regular income.  If someone thinks that he will earn $100 per day from gambling then he should gamble with $5k+ capital and bet 1.01-1.005 odds on these reors then he can earn $100 per day but it is not guaranteed because many  Time Seo's bets are also seen to lose.  In that case, if he wins bets for 15-16 days in a row, if he loses one day, he will lose the entire capital.  So questioning the desire for a regular income from gambling is foolish

Most probably the vast majority of those stories come also with other stories where they lost a lot of money, but they choose not to share them.

People usually only share their wins and hide their loses, and almost everyone is in the red at the casino. It's extremely rare to actually stay positive considering all time bets.

We have to think about the fatigue factor so that we are not in front of a monitor or looking at a cellphone screen if we use a phone to gamble. Besides that, if we often experience loss, we will experience regret and grief for what happened to us. And we need rest to deal with that sadness, especially if we have been playing gambling for too long without stopping. I also rest after playing gambling for some time or even I often only play gambling for only 15 to 30 minutes and immediately stop after because I feel that is enough for me to gamble.

Yeah, actually just going out for a quick 15 minutes run will make you feel much better instead of sitting down all day.

The brain rewards you basically for being active, and punishes you for sitting down too much.

This is the reality on which you would really be having lots of friends on the time that you would really be that a winner or having tons of money but on the time that you are on the floor then for sure you would definitely
finding yourself  to be alone and its true that the only ones who would really be at your side on which your family and loved ones who are really that concern about your status or condition but those friends that you have
known when you are still profitable are now gone and wont really be taking a look back at you which it is really that the sad part. This is why its better to be sensible on whatever things that you would really be encountering
specially on gambling space and only spent on the amount which you can afford to lose because if you arent that mindful about this stuff then for sure you would really be having that huge losses in terms of finances
on which this is something that cant really be avoided if you are really that eager on playing gambling in the first place.

On the time that you would be making  yourself that addicted, getting out or getting rid of it would really be the toughest challenge of all on which majority would really be messing up their
life and wasnt able to recover until they would be able to make realizations but its already that too late.

Yeah, this is the harsh truth.

When you are winning money, everyone is right next to you trying to get something out of you. The moment you are out of money, you will soon be out of people around you as well.

Now, I wouldn't call those people "friends", they are just opportunistic, but that's just how most people are, no blaming on them. It's all on the gambler. Every person makes their own life, and they make the decisions and get the outcomes based on those decisions.

In overall, if you are really just doing gambling for the sake of fun then i dont really see any problems which it would really be pertaining about addiction or having that huge loss because of it since you've been wary about
the potential risks on which you would really be making yourself that able to put up on a certain condition which would be experiencing those losses and other things correlated to it. First experience on my part is on the time that i do make out some personal bets in between my friends on a particular thing which it did really result on putting up some money on the line.It might not really be that like into those typical gambling
platforms or games but this one could be considered out since its really involving money on which this had been the primary indication as long you are putting up risks on a certain thing and make out bets
out of it against other people or groups.

Yeah, I reckon that's the best way of looking at gambling, as a bit of fun on the side.

If you simply see it as entertainment, and you are OK with the amount you are paying for that entertainment, then it should all be fine.

The problem starts when people are not enjoying it while losing all their life savings.

I do not think that successful gamblers can be classified as gambler addicts. A successful gambler won't play excessive gambling. He won't take more than the predefined risk and won't chase losses.

A gambling addict is a person who has all these habits of gambling with emotions and having no money management. So such a gambler who is addicted to gambling can never be a successful one but I would say they are the unsuccessful gamblers who lose more money than winning.

The only difference between a successful gambler and an unsuccessful gambler is basically luck.

The vast majority of people will end up losing money in the casino or similar games. That's by design.

From time to time, someone that is skilled at a game, maximizing their chances to win (still at lower odds compared to the casino) might end up winning. And in that rare case casinos will be quick to give free drinks and food to keep them playing so that they give that money back eventually.

But the probability of a big win is still there why gambling and attract such a large number of gamblers. As I think most gamblers come to the casino for a big win only the first few times, then realizing that to get a big win is not so easy they come for emotions without even realizing it. Approximately the same emotions many feel when receiving a paycheck at the end of the labor month. And these emotions can be experienced even if in an hour you have no money left (for example, you give all the money to the bank). 

Yeah, they lure gamblers in with small wins that in the end might actually be loses disguised as winnings, say you put $1 and get 50c back as a "win" with all the lights and music.

In the end it's all designed to make you feel that you are doing well, when in reality you are just slowly giving all your money to the casino

This is absolutely what I need. It is having a break in between sets of every game or session. In my experience, staring too long at the screen makes my eyesight fatigued and my mind foggy. Then I will get bored. That boredom triggers me to bet on unplanned games, just to satisfy or overcome my boredom. Until I realized that my profits is gone because I am gambling the money that I shouldn't the first place. Just because I got bored. Same with winning consecutively that we got overconfidence, I will win this time too, then I lose my money. So taking breaks I believe is a must. Get some fresh air, or get downstairs and drink water. Just get off the screen and rest for a moment.

Yeah, that's kinda a bit of an addiction. Some people for example would just eat or drink alcohol when they are bored, and they are used to get some "high" when they do those activities.

It's the same with gambling. As long as you keep things under control it should all be fine, but it's a slippery slope.

Whether by math or logic, it is literally impossible to beat the casino in the long term, except you are very new to gambling and in your game, you got lucky and won a handsome amount of money, you withdraw it and never return to gamble again, then it might be considered that you beat the house, but then, always have it in mind that in such circumstances, the house will always make their money back from other consistent gamblers.

If there was a way to mathematically beat casinos, we have a lot of great mathematicians around the world that would have bankrupted a lot of casinos.

It is not impossible to win against the casino in the long term, it just requires lots of work and it is extremely improbable.

So, you have to know what you're doing, and be extremely lucky.

One example of that is David Walsh

He was extremely lucky, specially because he made his money when casinos had easier odds and less restrictions.

I think it depends on how you look at it or interpret the word addict because it's almost undeniable that there are even some positive things even after labeled as an addict. But in most situations, addicts are synonymous with crackheads or someone who does things excessively because they already lost total control over themselves, cannot think clearly and the ability to weigh things correctly as well is already lost.

That would be a drug addict, but I'm talking more in general.

You can be addicted to your job, and you will have a rather bad overall life because you will not be doing anything social, you will not see your family, etc.

Addiction is not a positive trait, because it means you are losing control over the things you want your life to be.

You're right, people will only tells you the most interesting aspects of their stories by taking away the difficulty they experienced althrough the process, but i don't know maybe they usually do that to entice others or to push them into having same experience they've been through, i see it that after having both experience on the good and the bad, it is also expected that we take our personal decision base on the level of research we did, people are loosing in gambling but it will not be noised but when they eventually win luckily, the whole gist got aired.

That's right, I think it's mostly because lots of people don't really care about the hard work, or what happened behind the scenes, they just want to hear about the current winner, millionaires, successful people.

They're not interested in the day to day grind, the huge effort these people make. That's not attractive to most people because they realize they need actual work to get the benefits. It's a culture of wanting quick returns, and fast results, with no effort. Gambling is huge partly because of this. "Click a button and you can be a millionaire"

Arbitrage betting is very risky, they as in the paltform can easily block your account. They do mention it in thier T&C still, gamblers use it to an extent where they get caught. I have not encountered it but I did found out that while going through different platforms that arbitrage betting is possible. I did create a thread about it and everyone replied that it is a risky investment. Imagine you won but you cannot withdraw becaut multiple platforms found out what you were doing. It happens when a casino ask you to reverify your identity. I won't support it as it is prone to loss and it can be considered a bad idea.


There's also the technical risk that sometimes you are not able to put your bets in the other site for any reason, so it's not like it's free money with no risks.

And also, you need to spend time and effort to make this happen, which is of course not free. You could be doing something else instead that makes you more money, and is more valuable to society in general anyway.

And it will depend on our luck when we gamble, so we shouldn't expect too much to win much money from gambling. But it turns out that the surprise factor is what keeps people coming back to gambling, and even if they are almost at their cash limit, they decide to deposit more money just to be able to continue gambling. This causes them to lose a lot of money because they cannot limit themselves to gambling. If they can stop when they get a win, they can enjoy their win while resting, which will mean more to them. But most people instead continue to gamble just to be able to get more wins.

It's very improbable to win so big so that you get more money than what you have paid to the casinos.

And if you haven't played too much, then you have less chances for that to happen, so you can see that it's always the casino the one that makes the money.

And even in the rare cases that someone wins big, they usually continue gambling because of how they feel, casinos will be quick to send free drinks and food, and encourage the winner to stay there longer to get their money back.

Looking back, I can't remember a really bad World Cup (even in a miserable country like Russia it was held at a good level). In fact, it is always a holiday and probably everyone (except those who were very disappointed like Brazil at their home World Cup  Grin ) always remembers such an event in a positive way. The World Cup in such a big and rich country like the USA will certainly be good too.

The World Cup has been hosted in the USA before, for the 1994 World Cup. It was actually quite entertaining, with a young Marc Overmars, and a great Romario that helped Brazil get their 4th title.

Here are the hosting counties over the years:

People see gambling as a means of getting rich without much stress attached to it, just walk into a casino and do your thing and walk out with a huge amount in your pocket, but they're wrong in the sense that you must devote your 100% attention to it if not you're getting nothing in return, I'll say is hard to defeat what you can't see.
OP, from your topics which is a question CAN I MAKE 100$ DAILY FROM ONLINE CASINO? the answer is yes but another question I'd ask is "Can You Walk Away With The Winning?"
We all know how tempting gambling is...

It's very improbable to win $100 in a single day, and every day that follows makes that probability even smaller.

So, the answer really should be no, because the probability of that happening is almost zero, and gets closer to zero every next day you add.

This is called the long con or the big con, while many scammers try to get whatever they can as soon as they can, there are other scammers which concentrate on extracting as much money from their victims as possible, so it would not be rare for a scammer to set a casino and make it seem legitimate by offering a great service and eventually gaining a good reputation, until eventually and without anyone expecting it the casino turns into a scam and all the funds of their customers are lost.

I can understand that for some altcoins for example, but a casino can legitimately earn a lot of money, forever basically.

There would be no point to stop being a casino, because that's just guaranteed money really.

Unless the casino is doing something out of the ordinary, like extra bonuses or something different, then I don't see the point of them stopping.
1396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 24, 2023, 04:47:26 AM

Usually, we see gambling addicts as a failure but with a definition of a successful addict, it doesn't sound like a complete failure at all. A gambler who found his craft or someone who has found what he is good at is not a failure. As long as he can make money out of it, I guess he can live off it and be proud of it.

I wonder if there really is a successful gambling addict though because usually, they are not just addicted to gambling but also to alcohol and drugs.

Hard to see an addict as a success, because an addict has no control over the thing they are addicted to.

That means that almost always it will end up bad if they keep their addiction over time.

Also streamers and other influencers are selling a false image of what gambling is about as they share their wins but they do not tell their audience that they were not risking their own money, and instead that money was given to them by the casino they are promoting, so they are literally gambling with free money, while anyone that watches those streams and tries to imitate them will find out they cannot get the same results as they are risking their limited capital instead.

Yeah, I think that always has been the case with gamblers, now they are just doing the same online to try to get some money by promoting the casinos.

Most of the time you hear about the time someone won something, very rarely you will hear about the other times they ended up losing, which usually accounts for more than what they won.

Are you sure about the potential losses of sports betting platforms? What about the bets placed on other candidates? Shouldn't they be taken into account as well?

I think if you do take them into account, you'll see that everything will be fine for sports betting sites in any case. And it shouldn't be otherwise, in my opinion.

Yeah, that's a fair assumption.

I think overall the casinos make the money regardless of what happens, because even if they lose in one specific bet, they are still winning in general with other bets that are happening all the time.

We have a limited view of what the pipeline looks for them

A world cup ticket for three countries means that other American teams have a much greater chance of qualifying for the world cup than the three countries that have already been allocated. However, since three spots are already reserved, I guess some countries are supposed to get tickets for the world cup since normally they will not be able to compete, which is the negative aspect of this situation.


Well, this is a kinda unique situation, because they used to have only 3 direct slots, and now they changed two things: They added extra 3 direct slots for a total of 6 (because now there are more teams in the world cup), but also at the same time they removed the extra slots for the hosts.

It's a bit of a trick for this time because they literally added 3 extra slots, but it's not really for the hosts, it's in general from now on.

We can't tell if how those streamers set it up, but one thing is for sure,

They are doing it to attract gamblers to use their referrals and bring more people to use the site. It will bring them viewers
plus the ref bonus that they will going to receive from the casino itself, meaning to say, whatever it is money will flow for
them, that's what matter for them and they will continue to seek for those followers to earn more.

Absolutely.

It's like when you see a celebrity sponsoring a product. They most probably have never heard about it before and they are just doing it for the money, obviously.

People tend to buy things from people they trust, that's the whole point of "brand ambassadors" and things like that. Youtubers are doing the same, but in a more niche, localized way.
