1401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 12, 2024, 04:25:19 PM
Exactly, in gambling all gamblers really can't avoid risk completely and what they can do is nothing more than doing things that can minimize the possibility of losing less, such as implementing some preventive measures. As you said, no matter where you engage in gambling, online or offline really doesn't matter, both still have the possibility of risk, and for the matter of the size of the risk you will experience it depends on how you approach the gambling you do.

These two types of gambling still have the risk of possible addiction as I said above, and of course it's true as you said that the better thing to do is to apply some precautions along with self-awareness firmly, because only that can keep and help us from experiencing a large number of defeats like those suffered by gambling addicts out there who always overdo it and consider something not based on self-awareness so that usually the final result more often makes them disappointed and emotional. I'm sure you've heard of this, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it.
We can only reduce the risk so that it doesn't become big, especially if it is gambling because by preventing bigger risks, we can use our time and money wisely. We will not try to chase victory, which is difficult for us to get, so we will just have fun playing gambling, and we can stop according to the time we have determined. It is true that online and offline gambling certainly has its own risks, and it is up to us to reduce these risks. The size of the risk will be our focus to prevent so that no serious problems will occur.

If we can't prevent the risks, we will only face problems that will probably get bigger, and when that happens, we can become addicted, and we don't even realize it. And we should take precautions before it happens so that we don't face major risks. That is why we need self-awareness to be able to prevent the risks so that we will not become emotional or disappointed with the results we get from gambling because in gambling, we can experience bigger losses if we lose self-control. We must be able to take care of ourselves. At the same time, gambling so that we will not experience experiences like those experienced by gamblers out there who have lost a lot of money and also become gamblers who are addicted to gambling. If we can gamble responsibly, we will avoid various problems that will only add to the burden on our lives while we cannot get pleasure from gambling.

Exactly like my idea above that in gambling all we can do is take several preventive measures to minimize the number of losses so that they are not too significant, but unfortunately people (gamblers) usually focus more on the chance of winning, even though the reality is the opposite which is true if you If you chase wins too much, the number of losses usually increases, the reason is clear that gambling is not a place to earn income but is just an activity to fill your free time.

On the other hand, I am consciously sure that all people, including addicts, do not want to experience problems as a result of gambling, therefore firmness in changing viewpoints and beliefs really must be emphasized, all of this is for our own good so that we don't experience many problems such as financial along with some stress from unwanted situations. It all starts with self-awareness thanks to a correct understanding of gambling. I think you can achieve that awareness by looking at the examples of other addicts who have already suffered from many problems, take the positives and throw away the negatives and make changes for the good.
1402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 12, 2024, 03:57:53 PM
It is true that bad gambling behavior can have a negative impact on the people closest to the gambler because whatever they do will more or less make people's views of those closest to them different. For example, if the person is a crazy gambler who gets into debt here and there, people's views on his family will certainly be different because how could his family allow him to gamble and get into debt, that is like someone who was not taught by his family. Not to mention that if he commits a crime, it will make his family even more ashamed of what he did.

Yes it is a very possible thing, one of them may be the point of view of the community or especially their close neighbors who become bad to them and their families as a result of their gambling activities if there is information spread about them becoming a gambling addict, another thing is in terms of family finances which will also decline, you have said one example of the bad effects they will experience such as having a lot of debt everywhere. It is true that the impact of gambling can be very bad, not only experiencing a lot of defeat but this addiction triggers many other problems, such as turning someone into a criminal by robbing a shop or stealing at a rich person's house in order to get money to gamble, people who are already addicted have a mindset that is far from reasonable, they will do all bad things without doing any consideration beforehand.

Honestly, I also have a neighbor who can be said to be a victim of the adverse effects of his gambling activities, he has a lot of debts everywhere with not a small amount, I am quite bored when I see loan sharks who come every day to his house to collect debts that finally his parents have to sell one of their land assets to pay off debts due to his son's stupidity. This is why gambling can be very dangerous if we come with the wrong approach, so understanding what gambling really is, especially in terms of risks, is very important and is recommended so that you do not become one of the people I told you about above.
1403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where have all the low volatility slots gone??? on: January 11, 2024, 11:32:34 PM
Maybe now the situation is different from before, where there is not much competition between casinos and not many slot game providers added to casinos. The large number of slot providers in the casino also determines volatility or other factors. But I don't understand and I'm also not looking for slot games with a certain volatility.

But if people can't win their big wins, it's because they didn't have their luck, making them curious to try again. Of course, in slot games, we should not chase after winning because it will be difficult and there is a possibility that we will experience a lot of losses.

You mentioned one of the reasons that makes sense about this problem, now people come with thoughts and beliefs about how easy it is to get a win on slot games like in the old days when slots were new which I also felt that in the past getting a win on this game was not as difficult as it is now, without realizing that now everything has changed, casinos increase the difficulty of winning for a bigger profit, it happens because maybe one of the reasons is like you said that now there are so many other slot providers or that means competition from other competitors is getting tougher which obviously will make a reduction in the audience who play which makes casino revenue increasingly according to.

Honestly, lately I also feel that getting even a small win is very difficult from slot games. I think very few people will know about the changes that occur in the type of slot game, all they know and they want is nothing more than to continue gambling, not caring about other things especially with problems like this. It seems that only really good luck can bring us to victory if there is indeed a change in this type of game, but however it is better that we should not be too serious in gambling, because even though victory is not too difficult as in the past, if we overdo it, then of course the number of defeats will still dominate.
1404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 11, 2024, 11:01:11 PM
Gambling with any money no matter it is from a loan, a salary, you get it for free can be a big mistake if you do not know how to gamble and manage the money responsibly.
Even if with a loan, as long as you can manage the money responsibly, it is not a big mistake.
It will be a big mistake if you think that you will be able to repay the loan with the money you win from gambling.
Lets say I take a loan for gambling, but I know that I'll be able to repay it because I will get some money from a salary or from other sources and the money I take from the loan is only lets say 10% from the money I'll receive, is it a big mistake?


I don’t think loans should be taken out and used for something that’s not productive and profitable in the long run.  I’m well aware that people take loans for various reasons and not just productive ones like gambling. It’s not news anymore seeing a gambler lose money borrowed from wherever or used money budgeted for something else. Unfortunately, these sad tales do little to dissuade others from towing the same path.
The probability of having a loss is higher than a having a guaranteed win. I definitely would not use borrowed funds that has an interest on it to gamble.

Yes that's right, we must have firmness in our self-control to really avoid ideas like this or that means avoiding not to make loans just for gambling, basically making loans is not prohibited because in general usually people will make this as an alternative when they are in an urgent situation and need money but if you make loans just for gambling then honestly it is really not recommended, none other than because gambling has a much higher risk than the chances of winning and the fear is that you will lose the money you borrowed, even with a very fast time.

On the other hand there is one of my neighbors who also gambles and he always uses loans as an alternative to getting money to then use as his gambling budget, the initial stage may be fine but as time goes by it will become your habit, debts accumulate and you are increasingly ambitious to get a win because you want to pay off your debts with winnings from gambling, until finally that person runs out of everything and now his family is ruined because of economic problems due to the impact of excessive gambling. Yes basically there are enough examples that we can make lessons, I'm sure most gamblers don't want to end up in a slump, so from now on immediately change your perspective on gambling, don't focus too much on winning because you have proven it yourself that the final result is more disappointing.
1405  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? on: January 11, 2024, 09:18:24 PM
There are a lot of gamblers who doesn't understand what gambling is all about and I think you have to repeat this statement so that others can also be aware of it.
I can proudly say that games do not force anyone to get on them, both gamblers or not, it do not force people to stake on any.
But most times, a lot of people blame gambling for their actions, just because they can not control them self but them just want to gamble to see if they can win or get profits.
However, it is only those that do not understand why gambling is all about that will do so, or blame others for their actions, like me, as I am gambling safely, I can not blame anyone for any actions because no body forced me to gamble.
Indeed, gambling does not force people to gamble like other people do. Those who want to participate in gambling choose it themselves without understanding what needs to be prepared before they gamble. This is what makes many people fall into gambling, making them unable to get out of gambling easily. When gambling, they should have the ability to control themselves so that instead of losing a lot, they can prevent that from happening and enjoy gambling as entertainment. Yes, we can't blame other people for what they do, but we can still advise them always to be careful when gambling and not lose a lot of money. If they don't want to listen to us, that's up to them, and it's a risk they have to bear if they lose a lot of money because they gamble excessively.
Self-control is very important when playing gambling and maintaining emotions and not being greedy because most people, including myself, sometimes get carried away by situations without thinking about how much they spend.

Greed is one of the diseases of gamblers in general, and most of them cannot ignore the greed that is in them, this scenario will usually occur when they manage to get a win, never grateful for the amount of winnings they managed to get before making them finally pursue a larger amount of winnings, but isn't it in gambling the final result can always not be predicted or known? Obviously I think that is a common thing that most gamblers know but those who are greedy like ignoring this important thing that finally instead of getting a win with a larger amount but the opposite happens and the inability to accept risk makes them act out of control and continue to gamble with the aim of pursuing victory to restore the defeat in the previous time.

It is a cycle of addiction that is always avoided for most gamblers who understand how gambling really is, not only the amount of losses they will suffer but on the other hand obviously you will also feel unusual mental pressure, and I'm not sure you can get through a situation like that, not infrequently we also see some people who end up depressed because they can't stand all the problems and mental pressure they feel. That's why it's important to have self-control and some boundaries like you said because it's really important for safety.
1406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: January 11, 2024, 08:34:50 PM
This is another topic that really needs to be deliberated on seriously because most of our wins are not always used wisely,this has to do with how we use our money,and the things we do with our money when we win games.I believe so many persons will actually fall victim of this because this is what determines your success or failure in life.If you will be successful,it it dependant on how you use the money that enters your hand,and how you plan your budget with the money when it comes.It is essential to always have a planned action to carry out with the money before the money comes so that you won't lose focus when you win.

Most and maybe it has become a habit of gamblers when they get a win, they usually apply greed by sacrificing their previous winnings for something bigger which basically does not have any certainty to come true and usually something that is done excessively will only make the final result much worse and unexpected. On the other hand, we can see the fate of gambling addicts who instead of getting a big win but instead suffer a large amount of defeat and even run out of all their valuable assets. So in this case we  must really understand that in gambling there are always two end results if you don't win it means you lose and lose some money, so it's better to stay firm on self-control and some limits, what you see as tempting is in fact nothing more than a trap for you to fall further.

On the other hand, one of the reasons  why they always act like that is because they are too focused on winning that they lose consciousness and make considerations not based on a realistic point of view to choose a decision. I think you also know that getting a win in gambling is not easy, so if you do manage to get a win I think there is nothing better than cashing it in and enjoying it for something else.
1407  Economy / Economics / Re: How to stay poor! on: January 11, 2024, 08:10:06 PM
Failure does not require learning, only success does. You cannot teach a person how to fail because simply if he does not do something, he will be poor, and because the person realizes how bad his financial situation is compared to realizing that he is rich. Therefore, the steps to failure are easy and multiple, and the steps to success are boring and slow, but they earn you happiness.

It makes sense, in any case there is absolutely nothing to learn if the goal is to fail, but does anyone want that? I think only people who don't have common sense will do it, there is absolutely no  process  or study that must be done and that must be learned, this is very easy, you just need to stay silent and spend all your time doing nothing then you can achieve Your goal is to become someone who remains in a situation of poverty.

I think however this idea is nothing more than a joke that should be avoided, on the other  hand it is quite worrying if there are people who really want to try it or even just experiment and  also on the other hand I  would suggest something better to do even though Basically my life situation is not necessarily good. So try to consider choosing something that  can make your life situation better, adjust  your goals to balance your neeeds.
1408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: January 11, 2024, 05:52:16 PM
I don't believe women can be better gamblers than men, maybe this comparison comes out due to the behavior of women who are usually much better than men, especially in terms of managing finances, for example in a family relationship where it is usually the woman who divides the allocation of money given by her husband for family needs, but doesn't getting involved in gambling show that they don't have good financial management? obviously because in common sense this is an expense that should not be necessary, there are other better options, namely not getting involved at all.

I don't think that comparison can be used as a benchmark for the idea that women can be much better gamblers than men, after all both have the same human nature and that means it is very possible for women to eventually lose control due to dominating emotions which of course eventually enter the addiction phase consciously or unconsciously, so honestly I can't see any indication that leads to better gambling involvement from women.
1409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 11, 2024, 05:30:43 PM
Engaging daily in gambling activities is like you are digging a deeper and deeper hole slowly to bury yourself, what we must understand is the basic concept of gambling which is always random and without having any certainty for the results at the end of the session, so the idea of gambling every day to get closer to real winnings I think is just nonsense, I will not believe about this idea if there is no evidence that can be trusted at least by showing several consecutive winning transactions.

In fact, isn't anything done in excess synonymous with bad things that are tied to greed? of course, especially this is gambling which as I said above that there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee of any results that are in accordance with your wishes, another fact is that the percentage of wins is much smaller than the losses and that means it is not recommended to gamble every day because it will only make you suffer the number of losses slowly, the point is not to take it too seriously and focus on winning and also understand what is meant by the chances of winning and the risk of losing, all of that is nothing more than a chance that is not necessarily going to happen, but losing is a sure thing that will happen because it is difficult to get lucky.
1410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: January 11, 2024, 05:08:29 PM

Yes, this is a mistake that gamblers often make because they don't want to be late for an event or want to gamble at the casino immediately. They forget to understand the terms and conditions and think that the terms and conditions at each casino will be the same even though they will vary for each casino. Even if they have no intention of cheating, reading the terms and conditions of the casino is necessary to know what is and is not allowed so that they will not violate them. By knowing the terms and conditions, they will know what things can trigger them into trouble so they can avoid them before they get into trouble.

Most cases is similar to this, when there's an event or promotions that being offered gambler failed to read the terms and condition and they just wanted to play and not to be left behind, the problem with that, they don't know what behind the promotions and chances that they will just commit mistake and complain when the house not allow them to withdraw in case that they win the game.

Things where terms and condition is very important, if you understand it well, there's no way that you will be victimized by anything that the house can process under your account.

Yes on the whole gamblers just want to play and don't really care about other things such as the one we are discussing here, namely the terms and conditions displayed by the casino when they just came into their involvement, for the beginning of the involvement maybe there will be no problems but usually I see some difficulties will start to appear when they manage to get a win which is where as you said that the casino makes it difficult to withdraw even up to several days, On the other hand, there is one of my friends who also experienced it, namely when he managed to get a win, suddenly his casino account exited the web page by itself and could not log back in which eventually lost the amount of winnings he managed to get.

Of course the terms and conditions provided by the casino are very important, logically the casino will not provide it if basically it is not important and does not have a positive impact on every gambler involved there, anyway I think it doesn't hurt to take a little time just to read it, at least 5 minutes to bring some statements that are quite important so that you avoid some mistakes that should not be made which ultimately end up with fraud charges.
1411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 11, 2024, 03:51:23 PM
For me, there is no safe when it comes to gambling, online or offline. Gambling is dangerous and too risky especially for beginners and the uninformed. I can only say that online is easy and more convenient than offline especially nowadays because there are so many sites and apps that you just download to play and gamble.
That's true because that's the reality. We cannot avoid the risks we will receive when gambling, but we can reduce the magnitude of these risks by always setting limits when gambling, whether in online or offline casinos. By using these limits, we can enjoy gambling games and will not have the desire to gamble for a long time. We will realize that gambling is entertainment and we don't need to gamble too often and seriously so that we don't experience the negative impacts of gambling. By always taking care of ourselves when gambling, we can avoid the problems that gamblers often experience. Nowadays, many people may have turned to online casinos because they can gamble at home without leaving the house and taking some money with them. The convenience they get from online casinos is what makes more people come to online casinos.

Exactly, in gambling all gamblers really can't avoid risk completely and what they can do is nothing more than doing things that can minimize the possibility of losing less, such as implementing some preventive measures. As you said, no matter where you engage in gambling, online or offline really doesn't matter, both still have the possibility of risk, and for the matter of the size of the risk you will experience it depends on how you approach the gambling you do.

These two types of gambling still have the risk of possible addiction as I said above, and of course it's true as you said that the better thing to do is to apply some precautions along with self-awareness firmly, because only that can keep and help us from experiencing a large number of defeats like those suffered by gambling addicts out there who always overdo it and consider something not based on self-awareness so that usually the final result more often makes them disappointed and emotional. I'm sure you've heard of this, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it.
1412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 11, 2024, 03:31:17 PM
Soon we will witness the match between Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim which will be held at the home of Tuhcel's squad, on the other hand I think this is an easy match for Bayern Munich when they are faced with a medium-sized team which in the last five matches I think there is nothing satisfying from Hoffenheim, they are only able to win one win two defeats and the rest are draws, while in the Bayern Munich camp maybe we can already see in the last five matches they were able to win four wins and one defeat against Frankfurt.

So overall it remains as we know that Bayern Munich are far more favored, on the other hand maybe we are not strange with Bayern Munich's competition with Leverkusen at the top of the standings, however they will not allow Leverkusen to win the title they have long defended, Tuchel will not let that happen, and what makes more sense is that they absolutely will not waste any opportunity and will be this match as an opportunity to get the full three points to catch up with Leverkusen, although any result is still possible but I think for this match I am very optimistic about Bayern Munich's victory.
1413  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 11, 2024, 02:50:36 PM
So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?
When any member of a family becomes addicted, the gambling effect affects the entire family. And if that gambler runs the family, the effect will be even more deadly. A gambler who is addicted will never have enough money. When he will not be able to necessary expenses for the family, disaster will fall in the family. And if a father gambles during his retirement, I think there will be no great harm for him, but his health problems may increase as a result of excessive gambling. In this case the other members of the family must be well informed about his addiction and he can be brought under control. Gambling is fun for a short period of time, but gambling can become addictive in the long run.

Of course because the first people who will feel the impact of gambling are the people closest to them such as family members who are there, the situation will be more worrying if as you say that the addicted is the head of the family, it is certain that their lives will not be fine, especially losing balance in terms of family finances, It doesn't matter how rich their background is but still if basically someone who gambles is already addicted then obviously the possibility for a worse future will definitely occur, it is not uncommon for us to see rich people who go bankrupt, in terms of an excessive gambling approach or addiction anything can happen, the rich have great potential to go bankrupt and the poor will get poorer.

Basically gambling is nothing more than a leisure activity to have a bit of fun and there should never be any seriousness in its involvement, it is very dangerous and vulnerable for anyone to end up in the addiction phase and end up experiencing a lot of problems as a result of the wrong approach. That's why it's important to always have a straight understanding of gambling, the risks involved are far greater than the chances of winning and that means losing money is more likely to happen, you will never get a better situation unless you stop. The other thing is yes I agree with you that the other family members who are there I hope they know about his father's bad habits and with that I think at least surely they will take precautions.
1414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 11, 2024, 01:50:19 PM

I've noticed that it's rare not to have in a family a person who acts in a strange manner. It could be as a result of childhood upbringing. Which may have affected the person psychologically. Home training changes people differently. Grown ups hardly find it difficult to change, once the person gets addicted it takes lots of effort to cure their problem gambling. Even after the problem has been solved the gambler would find himself undergoing similar gambling symptoms for a while until he's completely in control of his actions. Advising them helps, but not everyone loves to take one, especially when they didn't ask for it. As families we only need to have to closely observe the person and endeavor he's not gambling all the time. Explaining to them that gambling once a day is achievable can help the gambler would decide to try it out some day. Then he'd follow the routine of gambling once a day for a long time till it's now a part of him.

Yes, regarding the nature and behavior, it is true as you said that usually such behavior starts from the parents' mistakes in educating their children when they were young, simply put, if their parents educate them harshly or mean to treat them harshly since childhood, then usually when they grow up they have traits and behaviors not much different from what their parents taught them, But for this problem I really can't make it a benchmark for someone to then enter addiction when they grow up, because I think what makes more sense is the wrong environmental factors that can really make someone involved in gambling until they enter the addiction phase or other negative things.

The environment has a very big influence on a person's behavior and changes in any case, it can lead to positive or negative things and usually the environment when they are older is where all these situations and scenarios can start, on the other hand basically it is not an easy thing to get out of gambling or even the addiction zone, because there are so many temptations that are difficult to miss by them and as you said that although there are many suggestions that are so good but not everyone can accept them into consideration. Therefore, the conclusion is that the action to cure gambling addiction must come out of themselves, or that means it cannot be forced and will really be successful or likely if there is basically a firm intention and sincerity from someone who is already addicted to recover.

It cannot be forced out of them, but a person who notices his friend or relation behavior changed for the worse, can try different techniques to cure the person. The major issue is not being able to finding out of his addiction. Once that's unveiled the relative would be able to look into the trouble. When the gambler has decided to hide his addiction, healing will not be achieved, because you can't threat what you don't know about. Those who find it hard to change a person even after finding out that the person is into gambling addiction, hardly engage in conversations with the addict. The brain easily changes towards what a person thinks. As you said about the child's environment, he thinks like his environment. Hence, if the people around him discuss about gambling or practice it the child will someday begin to gamble. Same applies to the relevance of having conversation on other utilities that may interest the addict, given time he'll begin to think about the activity until his full concentration on gambling begins to reduce.

I think most likely the people closest to him will definitely realize that one of his relatives or friends has a problem with gambling because they have a relationship that can be said to be very close so it is possible for them to be able to know about what their closest person is experiencing, in my opinion one of the things that can be done and quite recommended is to always invite the person to do many other activities such as maybe playing, vacationing or other things such as taking care of the fields behind the house if they have a large land, But on the other hand it also depends on whether the people around him really know about the problems that the person is suffering or not, sometimes even though we have a very close relationship it cannot be denied that there is something we never know about what they are really experiencing, so if they absolutely cannot get information about the problems suffered by their friends then of course there will be no action they will take because they think that their friends are fine. Basically, gambling addiction will be easier to overcome when there is openness and recognition and along with the desire for change from the addicted person.
1415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: January 10, 2024, 08:28:21 PM
I think quitting gambling activities can be a difficult thing and can also be an easy thing, it all depends, depending on how your intention and sincerity to quit, sometimes it is not uncommon for me to see people who talk about wanting to quit but in fact do not take any action and usually people like that only want to quit because they experience losses that they cannot account for and when their emotions are gone or sufficiently treated with other things then they will return to gambling with the same hopes and beliefs. So maybe I will only believe that they will really stop when they have intentions that are accompanied by serious actions, and on the other hand I understand that it is not that easy to stop, besides requiring strong determination and seriousness it must also be based on a high level of awareness, distracting views and activities by occupying time for other things, I think this method can help a little.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 10, 2024, 07:14:10 PM

Agree When a person becomes addicted to gambling, no matter how much he profits or how much he loses, he cannot stop gambling. So in this case, he will not be able to keep his profit, on the other hand, if he loses, he will not hesitate to gamble by borrowing money. And they are called successful gamblers who can make a lot of profit from gambling and enjoy the money of that profit. They can stop gambling in time and control themselves so successful gamblers can never become addicted to gambling.

All they want is to continue gambling indefinitely, there is an alternative that they can take to prevent them from losing by playing on a demo account, but on the other hand they don't want that because there is no seriousness in terms of the sensation they feel, on the other hand as we know that winning and losing is the final result that will occur at the end of the session, for people who still have good awareness and common sense maybe they will prefer to cash out when the situation is really getting a win, But for someone who has entered the second phase of addiction, the results at the end of the session will be an indication for the next stage, what I mean is that if they win then they will be greedy because they want to get a much larger amount and vice versa if they lose they are usually unable to accept reality and finally gamble based on emotions with the aim of pursuing something that has been lost.

So in those two situations the addicted gambler will never feel good, always greedy and never satisfied, and it is a cycle that will continue to occur indefinitely as long as they are still gambling. On the other hand, it is true that successful gamblers are those who can control everything well, when winning prefer to cash out and enjoy and when losing do not act out of control, the point is they have good control.

I would say that it is a strategy that would be really useful for long term gains if you apply it to something else and not to gambling, no matter how confident you are in the strategy, if you think the strategy is really useful then can you at least provide some evidence that is really believable? However I think it will not be useful if you bring and apply it to gambling, trust and belief make a person too hallucinate so that the method once used is really confirmed that it is a powerful strategy for victory.

If you only manage to get 1 - 3 wins then I think I would not say that it is a strategy, but more likely is that at the same time luck comes, especially if you are involved in the type of gambling pure luck like slot machines for example, sometimes in sports betting alone the fact that skills can make victory closer it will not be completely useful, meaning that you will not really be able to get a win in the long run, if you don't believe please try it over a period of time, for example 1 to 5 months of trial and calculate the amount, I'm sure the loss is still much greater. So don't take it too seriously, after all this is gambling that runs randomly and has no certainty.

Gambling with borrowed money will only make you experience more pressure, not only from the problem of losing but there is a new problem that spreads that when you lose then obviously the borrowed money will be lost and you will face new pressures and problems where you will be confused to pay it, makes sense right?  Therefore you must really understand that after all gambling is a game of probability that if you are lucky then you will get a prize in the form of victory, do not consider it as a victory but emphasize that the good results are nothing more than a prize that you get for your participation in gambling. So the first thing that must be addressed in my opinion is the right mindset and understanding of gambling, I think if you already understand everything, especially the level of risk that is much higher than the opportunity then I think you will not dare to make rash decisions such as borrowing money just to gamble.

After I saw your list of precautions to minimize something unwanted happening, it seems like it doesn't matter if you don't tell your husband, because looking at the list you showed, all of that will really keep you safe and comfortable. and can make you a responsible gambler. But on the other hand, you must maintain the understanding that gambling is a high-risk activity, the percentage of wins is much smaller than losses, and every gambler will always find many things that look tempting there, so it is not uncommon in such conditions to change their mindset and beliefs. and ultimately makes them gamblers who expect to win.

Therefore, you must remain  firm in self-control, correct understanding and also maintain good awareness, and if at any time you feel that there is a change in your gambling approach, for example, such as starting to be a little excessive, then I think at that time you you have to tell your husband.

We can return the money if we win, but what if we lose? How can we return the money? We will have difficulty returning the money. Therefore, we should never borrow money to gamble because there is no guarantee that we can win from gambling. We could lose all the borrowed money, and it will be difficult to return the money. However, we must be able to restrain ourselves by not borrowing money from anyone to gamble because that will only give us problems. With the self-control that we have learned previously, we can restrain ourselves from that, and we should do other things that can provide benefits and make money from other things.

If gambling is not about winning and losing or if there is only a chance of winning and there is absolutely no possibility of risk occurring then obviously there is no problem if you want to borrow money to gamble, but obviously as you said about what if we lose? of course it will be very difficult to feel okay when you are in a situation like that, which is why it is always not recommended to gamble using borrowed money, you will get a lot of pressure and problems from the gambling you do and also from the money you borrow.

So obviously we should emphasize a proper understanding of gambling and also maintain awareness, I think with that you will not be rash in making every decision, you will be more able to consider everything with a precaution for the sake of financial balance.
