1481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: January 05, 2024, 06:18:20 PM
The task of the casino is to enthuse the player to such an extent that he does not think about losses. It is best to stipulate in advance the amount of allowable losses - in the case of online casinos, and do not take with you the documents necessary for the processing of credit - in the case of online casinos. Restraining oneself in trying to win back is quite a difficult task

Exactly, because after all the defeat of the gamblers is a profit for the casino and that's what the casino wants so there is an element of addiction in gambling because of the many things that look tempting when we are running a session, it is not uncommon for some gamblers to forget all their prevention plans just because they are easily tempted by something they see. That's why as you said that every gambler should have risk management by determining the amount they are allowed to lose or simply being able to be responsible for the money allocated, not only that because you also mentioned that holding back when temptation comes is a difficult thing to do and that's why firmness really needs to be applied properly. I understand that this will not make us avoid the risk of losing but what is certain is that with this action then obviously the number of your losses will be slightly minimized and I think it is less likely for us to experience financial problems as a result of gambling activities.
1482  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: January 05, 2024, 05:57:52 PM
I said it wasn't a lie. we are not kids who watch cartoons anymore. if you ask what entertainment is for adults and what do we discuss among our friends? Of course, gambling is one of the ways we have fun. As long as we haven't become addicts, we still have common sense and can still control how to go gambling in our free time, there is always fun. unless we consider this is the main job to earn money, how many people I have even seen are in debt because of gambling. They take this kind of game too seriously which should be used for entertainment and fun.

Yes if you are a gambler then you need to emphasize to yourself that gambling is "one" way for you to get pleasure and not "the only way to get pleasure" why is that? because obviously it's not uncommon for me to see lately a change in mindset and perspective happening unconsciously, or I mean someone who initially only focused on gambling for pleasure but because they made gambling the "only way to find pleasure" then obviously it has the potential for a change in mindset so maybe you already know what will happen when someone becomes more serious in their gambling involvement, no longer pleasure but always trying to recover the situation to break even.

That means that we still have to be very careful and also be more assertive in applying some boundaries and self-control, it is not impossible because the possibility for worse things will still remain in gambling in addition to the many temptations that are there that can clearly make us fall slowly without realizing it.
1483  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: January 05, 2024, 05:28:58 PM

There is no connection between loneliness and gambling except that person is already a gambler then he can utilized the opportunity of being lone to start gambling more or making some random deposit to his account to constantly keep gambling. Sometimes is from mindset what you think of is what mostly come into mind, and I don't see any reason why someone wife will leave him and he turns himself into gambling addiction instead of becoming a drunker or smoker because these two things are easily being triggered by loneliness and not becoming an addicted gambler.

Quite reasonable and your idea is almost the same as what I have in mind, people say that loneliness can trigger someone to get involved in gambling, I agree for that matter but on the other hand this idea only leads to those who have previously known or have been involved in gambling or even still quite active, because for ordinary people who have never gambled at all I think it is still unlikely for them to suddenly enter gambling to get involved in it, the scenario will not be that simple.

In general there are a lot of people who experience loneliness at certain times but not all of them are gamblers and that can kind of invalidate the idea that loneliness can trigger gambling, like I said that idea would only apply to someone who is already familiar with gambling so like you said that at the same time they are trying to take advantage of the time and opportunity to gamble and try their luck. Basically and overall there are still a lot of things that they can choose to do as an alternative to loneliness, playing online games (without risk), watching a movie or chatting something with one of their friends via mobile phone has the nature and potential that they are very likely to choose in general in such situations.

You are correct..
Such person must have been a gambling addicts or was trying to reduce and stop gambling before having that incident, most times whatever you want to stop and it happens that something triggered you to start going back to that which you have stopped. Especially becoming drunker whenever they faces emotional attacks they easily goes back to their previous attitude and same thing happens to smoker whenever they aren't emotionally balance or something upsets them they would angrily go back to what they have stopped before but for gambling sake I don't think loneliness can trigger it so easily except such person was already a gambling addicts.

Yeah so with that then I don't think we can just predict things in a bad direction, or I mean conclude that everyone who is lonely will choose to engage in gambling, most likely it will only potentially happen to those who have already been gambling. As I said above, there is no such thing as a simple scenario, and you have said here that if there are people who turn to gambling as an alternative when they are lonely then they are someone who has already gambled or gambles frequently.

I understand what you're saying here, it may be true that they could be one of those gamblers who is trying to quit gambling or is struggling to reduce their gambling activities, but there will always be times when the temptation comes, this is unexpected, one cannot plan when they will be lonely, And maybe for someone who is struggling to quit gambling the situation of "loneliness" is something that has great potential to thwart their intentions and efforts, in my opinion for that it depends on their own assertiveness on their intention to quit and if indeed they are less serious in their struggle then obviously the situation of loneliness is very likely to make them think of trying again to gamble which ultimately all plans fail.
1484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 05, 2024, 05:07:52 PM
It is difficult to determine if gambling habits have led individuals to failure or useless. If someone makes such a statement, there's no need to be upset with them. We can't tell whether or not their loved ones are struggling with the same issue. It's best to simply ignore such comments because ultimately, we are the ones driving our own lives and determining our own paths. Who knows sooner or later the one who made that statement will see you change and improve your life and then he will regret his statement, or vice versa so ignoring is still the best option for now.

I think people just conclude things according to what they see at the same time, on the other hand gambling has a bad point of view in the eyes of society and with that then I think it's natural that many people make some comments especially negative ones, it's all up to you and indeed if you are not offended at all then obviously the better alternative is to let them, but if it's the opposite, if indeed they comment with bad words that can certainly make you angry then obviously I think it doesn't matter if you are angry to maintain your honor even though you have a gambling habit.

True, everyone has their own life and whatever they do is up to them because as you said, we are the ones who control ourselves and our lives. They may scoff at you but what is certain is that you are not harming them at all, unless you are gambling with their money then that is another thing, so it is normal, do whatever you want to do as long as it is within reasonable limits and does not harm yourself or others.
1485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 05, 2024, 03:46:15 PM

It is quite clear that at first glance we can already see about the advantages and disadvantages of both casinos, I agree with your idea that online casinos can make it easier for gamblers to get involved with all the conveniences they offer, and what is more prominent is that online casinos have no boundaries as long as you have a cell phone connected to the internet, meaning as you said that wherever and whenever we can gamble if we have a certain amount of balance in the account to bet and this is one of the advantages that physical casinos do not have.

On the other hand if you ask which one is more risky I think for people who have common sense and can use it properly then they will say that both types of gambling have the same risk but maybe with different types of convenience and services, and you have said that for risk issues it really depends on each individual on how they approach their gambling activities, if they go overboard and without having any management especially on their finances then obviously the risk of losing is potentially greater.
Its really that impossible that you cant really be able to differentiate in speaking about the risk in both places but eventually both things does have risks in speaking about on the gambling games
naturally but in speaking about security then it could also have that imposed those security risks too on which it would be that impossible that you would really be able to point it out
on the time that you would really be able to experience things on which it would really be just that too impossible that you wont really be able to notice it out
even just using your own common sense then you would really be able to spot it out. The thing here is that you should really just make use of the amount on which you can only afford to lose.

Honestly, I don't really understand what you are saying, but what is certain is as I said before and there I have explained a little that both casinos, whether online or offline, have their risks and how serious the risks you will suffer really depends on How do you respond to the gambling activities that you do? If you always overdo it, then obviously the risk of losing will be greater, and also with slight differences in terms of service and convenience.

As for security issues, it depends on the casino you visit, if they are one of the new casinos then maybe I will be a little worried about the data I have involved there because usually their security level has not been tested and it is not uncommon for me to find several people who experience this. problems resulting in accusations of fraud. Gambling is nothing more than just a probability game activity that has absolutely no certainty whatsoever at the end of the session between winning and losing, if you want to win then you must also be prepared to lose, therefore it is always recommended to put an amount that we can afford to minimize the occurrence. emotions that can make you act out of control.
1486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 05, 2024, 02:41:18 PM
A gambling expert brought i and some friends a guaranteed predicted game and asked us to stake a a high amount so that we winning could be huge and so we can give him a percentage of the money at winning.

I don't believe there could be a 100% guaranteed game but yet my friends who are eager to make profits in the gambling accepted to play the gamed as instructed and at the end of it, they all loosed the game and at then, the rest of us were happy because we didn't play the game else we would had loosed as others.

I want to ask, do you believe in experts gambling predictions?

What you described is a common fraud scheme where the “expert” does not risk anything, but if those with whom he agreed win, then he receives a part of the winnings.
In normal cases, experts of course exist, for example, the best experts work for bookmakers and help them form a line. Another thing is whether there are experts capable of beating bookmakers? Most likely not, or let’s say the period when they found some kind of loophole that allows them to gain an advantage is not so long.

Yes I will agree with the idea of your statement about the fraud scheme, as you said that the experts will take part according to the initial distribution plan if they win, but on the other hand I think the experts will not be able to completely escape the risk and responsibility, because basically before the agreement is agreed upon there must be at least an agreement in advance regarding the final result of winning or losing, It is clear that if you win there is a distribution of money but if you lose there must be something that must be fulfilled by the experts whether it is returning half of the money lost or whatever it is, but on the other hand for people who do not know about gambling at all then I think they will be easily fooled by experts and will believe them that the final result will win, and if you lose then it is likely that the  experts will run away or quibble with many reasons.

Yes there is nothing wrong with  us to be suspicious of the experts, it seems that they are one of the casino partners who are tasked with finding many gamblers to enter and engage in their casino, like paving the way, and obviously that means the experts are under the control of the casino, and it is impossible for them to fully give the winnings to the gamblers  who finance, and maybe only a little to just make the gamblers trust enough and subscribe to them.
1487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you win? on: January 04, 2024, 09:22:46 PM
Hmm, are we really talking about winning?
Winning in gamble do not come all the time (I believe you already know that) sometimes we lose and sometimes we win.
There are many gamblers who's losing are more bigger than their winning and there are other gamblers who's winning are more bigger than their losing.
Some gamblers don not win all the time but there are a lot of gamblers who's lose all the time.
Gambling is all about luck and we all know that luck in betting is not coming all the time.

The more who know about it the better because the potential for prevention will be greater for them to do especially those here who may need some help, we remind you again that when it comes to winning in gambling then obviously you have also said the basic thing very correctly which is that gambling is only about winning and losing and not winning and winning haha lol. If we go to the number of wins and losses then obviously it is not known and only each of the gamblers knows about the number but sometimes there are also those who do not even care about calculating the amount lost and gained.

To be honest, in my opinion, most of the percentage of losing risks is greater than the chances of winning which is often a dream for most gamblers, one of the reasons is because I think there is enough evidence that can slap them that losing is more common than winning, for example in 10x trials I think it is impossible if you can win all of them, but maybe at least 2 or 3 times it is possible and that means losing is still greater. So the point is true all of this is probability and luck, therefore I think it makes no sense if we force something that is out of our control in achieving victory.
1488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [A POLL] Without Chances of Making Money, Will you still be gambling? on: January 04, 2024, 08:44:24 PM

So, one question I want to ask is, if games were built to be played with money on casinos like we do now, with absolutely no chances of making money even when you win a game, would you still be spending money playing this games or betting on sports games?

Please let's discuss, and remember, keep it as constructive as possible and cast your vote on the pool as well.

Thank you OP for making this statement and question for me this is quite interesting, Grin  and I  think that if indeed casinos do not make money as the main object in winning then I will answer it simply that there will be few people interested in gambling, because lately gambling especially online-based such as slot machines is very common, almost most adults know this type of gambling and are involved in it so the level of addiction is increasing every year.

One thing I know and this seems to be a true fact is that it is not uncommon for me to find that lately many people come with the intention of earning by ignoring the possible risks involved in gambling. The logic is that the winnings in gambling are money (in random amounts) and while on the other hand doesn't everyone want money? Of course, and I think this could also be one of the big reasons why more and more people are coming to get involved. So in essence with the question you asked I think if it wasn't money as the main form of winnings or for example just regular winnings without getting anything then I don't think anyone would go to the extent of going overboard and maybe they would just come for the fun of it, gamblers wouldn't be as likely to get involved if there was no chance of doubling up.
1489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: January 04, 2024, 08:24:02 PM
That's right, it is very difficult to provide education or understanding to the public about the real dangers of gambling, because they only see luck, namely winning, so they will be interested in doing it. If people also see the negative side, namely defeat and the bad consequences of gambling, they will think carefully about entering the gambling environment. Moreover, if you are already addicted, your life will be full of problems and this must be really paid attention to for someone to enter the world of gambling.
Consciously, I'm sure they already know the dangers of losing money in gambling, it's just that usually they come full of confidence by making deposits because they see the streamer or influencer they watch win big wins and display wins without showing losses so the audience will definitely be impressed to try it but After they fail, in fact that's when they determine their next life.

If they continue the game and continue to pay for their gambling just to recover previous losses, it will not work and will only be in vain and can lead to a gambling addiction, but if they realize that their choice of gambling is not the right choice, they should stay away from it and not try to gamble again. especially when trying for the umpteenth time to experience defeat at gambling. that was a stupid way to choose
Very often people despite knowing that what they do implies a massive risk still decide to do it since they cannot possibly picture themselves falling victims of those risks, so they begin to gamble thinking that even if they know that casinos have to make money somehow, they believe that money will come from other gamblers and not from them, and while at the beginning a few of them could get away with it as they got lucky, the more they gamble the closer their results should align with the probabilities and they will begin to lose money.

One of the reasons why they still do it even though it has been proven that the final result always loses, it is because of the hope that they still apply to a victory. And another reason is that they always assume that "it looks like this time I will be one of the lucky ones out of 10 people playing" that's always what's on their mind so they keep trying, and when reality slaps them again with results that don't match expectations then they will think like that again to do the next session.

We must understand that in gambling the percentage of winning is much smaller than the risk of losing, the casino has arranged everything, and one of the reasons why people often say that gambling is a game of probability is because the casino's goal is to make profits from losing gamblers while on the other hand they set up all the systems in it so of course it is very natural that defeat dominates over victory which will only happen occasionally, I think most of the gamblers do not know this fact so they put their hopes and act excessively.
1490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the tension make you take risk that are sometimes worth it? on: January 04, 2024, 08:03:57 PM
I will not fully disagree with your opinion. Because sometimes it worth to take some risk. But we have to remind that or keep in mind that gambling is all about the luck. So the result can be both win and loss. And taking a decision from the pressure I think it is one kind of gambling based on emotions and with emotions I don't think is a proper way to play gambling. It can be more riskier for your fund.

All gambling is an act of risk taking actually, and for the problem of high or low risk that will be taken it all depends on the willingness of each gambler, sometimes there are also many of those who are not able to take responsibility for high risk but instead take / do it and usually they are people who are quasi-emotional. The realization that gambling is just an activity for profit will only exist in the mind of someone who understands what gambling really is along with some of the opportunities and possible risks that are there, on the other hand it is very clear as I said above that they pretend to be able to take high risks when all decisions are out of emotion due to the pressure of previous defeats, and I would call them gamblers who do not have the responsibility and correct understanding of gambling, it is very clear that we can conclude this from the approach they take.
1491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: January 04, 2024, 07:21:15 PM
Well it’s important for gamblers to approach betting with a well-thought-out plan, focusing on what they can afford to lose rather than being driven by greed.  Winning with $1k doesn't mean going all-in with $5k is a sure shot. Don't let the thrill overshadow the reality of potential losses.
If they focus their plans on recovering from their losses, they may find it difficult to recover from their losses. They may lose more and possibly more than the money they have deposited. But if they have won a certain amount of money, they shouldn't be greedy in chasing other wins because that could trigger them to experience defeat. After winning, it does not guarantee that you will be able to win again, so you should immediately stop gambling and withdraw the winnings if you have reached the minimum withdrawal limit. If you can't achieve it, you can leave it in your gambling account to use it at another time.

I agree with your assumption, I think the fact is that it is true that however in gambling if you try too often with the aim of chasing something that has been lost or chasing the break-even point then the number of losses will be more, hmm yes maybe they think that by doing a lot of experiments then they will get a lot of wins or even with large amounts, but the fact is that it is very wrong if you apply such an approach to gambling which basically does not have any certainty for the results.
The randomness of how  gambling works really makes it difficult for gamblers to win, but you can't do anything about it and you can only accept the fact that the number of losses is increasing. Cashing out when the situation is really lucky is the thing that must be chosen, how can you sacrifice the obvious  victory you get with something bigger but still does not have any certainty? Awareness must really be emphasized so that you can choose the right thing especially when such situations rather than applying greed.
1492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: January 04, 2024, 06:53:39 PM
I don’t think gambling is fun for everyone because mostly people’s playing game to make profits, So it's not fun from everyone's point of view, who guys are addicted in gambling definitely it will not be fun for them, because you know many people commit suicide after
loosing big amount of money in gambling, if they had taken it as fun, they would not have committed suicide. Personally, i'm not regular in gambling, sometimes i have fund then i will deposit a little bit for gambling which is affordable, if i lose it then i will not be affected, it’s always fun purposes to me.

What you mean seems to be more directed at most gamblers these days especially about the purpose of their arrival at gambling, I quite agree with that statement because on the other hand I have seen enough evidence that many gamblers have fallen down and lost many of their valuable assets just because of gambling, if indeed gambling is for fun then would they be that desperate just to get pleasure? while on the other hand there is still quite a lot of fun without risk? for this problem obviously only they know and maybe here we can only predict with a little conclusion about their purpose of gambling.

On the other hand you have also said one other evidence is that it is not uncommon for me to see information from the news that shows gamblers who end up ending their lives, one of the reasons that makes sense is because they are unable to withstand all the pressure from the risks involved in gambling that they have experienced.

Yes, it's better not to focus too  much on gambling, you can come if you have a little money and without coercion from anyone without putting any expectations for the results at the end of the session. in my opinion it's better because then I'm sure you will feel more comfortable  and safe.
1493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: January 04, 2024, 06:33:44 PM
Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.
There is no connection between loneliness and gambling except that person is already a gambler then he can utilized the opportunity of being lone to start gambling more or making some random deposit to his account to constantly keep gambling.

1494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shared games helped you before? on: January 04, 2024, 06:12:43 PM
Plus they would be used to giving you a call, and then eventually it will reach the time that they would ask for a small amount for them to also bet. There's nothing wrong with saying no, he might tell you that someone won to make you feel bad.

Asking a friend for money to feed me or my family is acceptable but asking money for our short-term pleasure like gambling isn't right but still, we can give them if we are too rich to consider the amount is negligible but as a friend, it never be on the good side of the moral scale.

Tricking a friend to get the favor is cheating that kind of people should be avoided for life.

True, if the money is to be allocated to other things or essentially for something sudden and urgent and very important then there is nothing wrong with giving them the amount we can afford to lend but as you said if they ask for the amount for gambling needs then honestly it is a deal that should not be agreed upon by both parties especially from yourself as the person asked for a loan, However gambling should not be done with such a serious approach, even though you are not the one who will bet but still you will also be adversely affected such as losing the money you have lent, because it is very likely that one of your friends who borrowed will have difficulty returning it to you, even though one day they have money but certainly their main priority is gambling.

On the other hand, I understand that it's your choice whether to lend it or not, and maybe I'm just here to suggest that such an agreement will only trigger various problems to come such as the destruction of friendships just because of debt or problems that should not happen and can be avoided.
1495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 04, 2024, 05:29:25 PM
Why think about what people say about us, is it somehow capable of influencing our well-being, or any other aspects of our lives?
There are things that will never change, people will always talk about other people, but they forget about it as soon as they stop talking about it. People have a lot of daily worries and generally people worry more about what other people think about them. And if you are worried about what people will say about you gambling, then try not to let those who don’t need to know about it find out.

I think it will only affect our minds and will not affect our lives as a whole, people care too much about something that basically doesn't really matter, but on the other hand it doesn't hurt to deduce what they are really saying and  where their ideas lead, whether their criticism and opinions for us will really be useful for us or not at all, it depends on how you can distinguish the ideas that come in.

For people who don't really  care about what other people say about them then I don't think they will make any changes, but if you are one of those people who are easily annoyed and feel uncomfortable with other people's comments even if they are important then it seems that you will prefer to make changes, in the sense of not repeating the same thing for the potential occurrence of the same situation, so I think it depends on yourself whether you are comfortable or not with other people's comments..
1496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 04, 2024, 04:52:16 PM
And if we talk about security, online casinos are still safer because by being able to gamble at home, they don't need to leave the house while bringing a lot of money to the casino. It's another matter if they go to an offline casino where they have to bring a certain amount of money to be able to start gambling. Maybe offline casinos also offer online payments so people don't need to carry much money. However, many people who have experienced the convenience of gambling at online casinos still choose online casinos.
Online casinos offer easy access from anywhere and you can gamble at any time as long as you are still connected to the internet, offline casinos don't have this because gamblers have to go to a physical casino to gamble, if we discuss the risks of using money and which bets have the highest use of funds to gamble online or offline casino?

The use of funds at online casinos is higher because of the ease of access for quick transfers to casino accounts, but physical casinos require cash for betting and the possibility of gamblers at physical casinos has a lower risk of losing after gambling even though the casino provides ATM machine services for cash withdrawals. However, all risks depend on each gambler without comparison between gambling at online casinos or offline casinos because each gambler applies different limits on the use of funds, psychological influences, or different betting personal rules.

It is quite clear that at first glance we can already see about the advantages and disadvantages of both casinos, I agree with your idea that online casinos can make it easier for gamblers to get involved with all the conveniences they offer, and what is more prominent is that online casinos have no boundaries as long as you have a cell phone connected to the internet, meaning as you said that wherever and whenever we can gamble if we have a certain amount of balance in the account to bet and this is one of the advantages that physical casinos do not have.

On the other hand if you ask which one is more risky I think for people who have common sense and can use it properly then they will say that both types of gambling have the same risk but maybe with different types of convenience and services, and you have said that for risk issues it really depends on each individual on how they approach their gambling activities, if they go overboard and without having any management especially on their finances then obviously the risk of losing is potentially greater.

I want to ask, do you believe in experts gambling predictions?
No I never believe the predictions of experts. I always participate in betting by making my own predictions on gambling platforms. I can accept myself if I am defeated by my own predictions but I will never be able to accept myself if I am defeated by the predictions of experts. As much as I can predict a match an expert can't predict like me so why should they trust the prediction and pay him to predict it. In particular, never invest in the predictions of influencers and never gamble on the predictions of experts. Whenever you invest and gamble on the words of these two people, you will lose.

That's better and for myself honestly I also always gamble with all the ways that I have and what I think is quite convincing and this is the same way you do your gambling approach, someone who takes the services of experts for the sake of victory I believe that they are one of the people who come with the aim of winning but cannot accept the risk of losing so when there is someone who claims to be experts then they will take advantage of the opportunity to try to bet using the services of experts which in the end the final result is the same, namely losing.

Honestly, for myself, even though I lose most of the time, I would never think of taking someone else's services for the sake of winning, even though my goal is to win, I would not try someone else's services because obviously this is gambling and I would probably just depend on luck by only putting a small amount on the weekend. So it's not that I don't believe that experts won't win, because winning can happen anytime when luck comes, but on the other hand luck never sees whether you are an expert or not, for sure if you are lucky then you will win by chance.

It's a good idea to take a look at a few of the more common mistakes that people make when they're gambling, such as the fact that they've just been involved in gambling with the initial scenario of getting a win and of course all the hopes and beliefs they apply after that incident so that they can feel that winning is not a difficult thing to get, even though the previous victory they managed to achieve was none other than because at the same time luck also came so that it made the final result in accordance with what they wanted. However, the fact of the matter is as you said that getting a win from gambling is very difficult, sometimes we can get a win when we don't put any expectations on gambling, and isn't this a strong proof and reason that gambling is really about luck? I think that's clear.

Basically as I have said before that  putting hope and increasing confidence will only make you feel excessive disappointment at the end of the session when the final result loses, if you still have such hopes then immediately realize the real facts, because I'm sure there will be  a lot of experiments that you do and of course it will make you experience more and more number of defeats. Well true, there are so many things that will make us affected such as other people's winning videos that can certainly make us more eager to pursue victory, and maybe like I said that they will realize if  they have run out of everything..
Yes, looking at and paying attention to common mistakes people make can give us insight so we can avoid making these mistakes so we can enjoy gambling. Getting a win is indeed rare, and that is why we must be able to appreciate the wins we get so that we can stop gambling after getting the win. We can indeed hope and have confidence that we can win, but we must not be too hopeful and confident that we can win. We can only leave everything to the results and don't need to be too serious about gambling. And when we don't have too high expectations or hopes for gambling, maybe that's when we can win accidentally because we only think of gambling as entertainment.

And if we can use gambling well and not put any hope in gambling, we can also avoid the problems that gamblers have experienced. And if we watch other people's gambling games more often, it will trigger us to continue gambling using the experiments we have made. That's where we might experience problems because, with the experiments we did, we wanted to try gambling using the various methods we created. And those who still want to use gambling to make money should not try to gamble more because they will only experience loss after loss.

All things can be learned as long as we are willing to learn and take lessons, take something positive and make the negative as simple as that but in fact it is not easy to do and sometimes I am still one of them, meaning that I have not been able to fully apply firmness to the gambling activities that I do. It is true that appreciating our efforts in gambling by cashing out the winnings when we are in good luck is more advisable, at least you have to occasionally enjoy the winnings you get even if for example you come just for entertainment. On the other hand, in my opinion, do not put any expectations when we are gambling because it will only make us disappointed at the end if we lose, and it is better to focus on fun and also self-control during your session regardless of the results.

I think that awareness is more  important to maintain, because with that I think they will not take actions out of control and also will not put any expectations on the final result. Of course, watching impressions from stremers for example, it will make us subconsciously motivated and like forgetting that gambling is about losing and winning, they will assume as if the victory is a sure thing because of seeing the good luck that the stremers managed to achieve, simply put if you don't want to lose money or can't accept the risk then obviously it's better not to gamble, that's the best.

We all know that gambling sometimes can be fun and something not, even if we  blatantly claim here that we do gamble alone for the fun purpose 🙄🙄. Truth be told majority of person actually gamble because of the possibility that they can earn some profits from the act and as we all know it , not all the time the end result is what we expected. Although am not an addicted gambler but I can say I do my fair share of gambling activities sometimes and what I have observed is that sometimes I actually make some hard calls that turn out to be fruitful when ever am tenced but the results may differ for different individuals though.

So I would like to know your own experience when making or taking risk in gambling under pressure.

I keep following other people sport bets when I am under pressure and I am losing money,sometimes they pay off as I won sometimes enough of amount to be back on track to continue my gambling session,to start again playing other games.That is all I do as when the tension goes up I am losing money and I don't see any other way to recover money other than to copy other people bets.I usually copy bets that play at night time in Europe which are American events of Basketball,Baseball and NFL and I go to sleep dreaming to have won big out from these bets yet almost every morning is the same disappointment,as I have never won huge doing this  Grin.
Copying other's bet depends on you as an individual; if you happened to not care about the experience they you might probably doing so and consider checking the gambler you are about to copy. But if it is not profit alone you are after, I suggest placing your own bet 'coz no one is having certainty here; either you lose or win. Be sure to atleast enjoy it.

Imitating other people's bets in the type of sports gambling may be one of the alternatives that will be chosen by most gamblers who have no experience at all in the field or in the world of sports, such as riding on the skills and knowledge of others to get the same luck at the same time, I think it doesn't matter as long as they are certainly prepared with all the possibilities that will occur. We know that sports betting is not a type of gambling that is purely about luck because it is like combining skill and knowledge with luck to produce a win.

But the problem is that even if you're the person they're emulating has very good skills that doesn't mean the end result is a sure thing for a win, because after all this is gambling where the risk of losing is always completely unavoidable. Yes your advice is quite good, because the final result is always unknown whether you will win or lose no matter how confident you are but certainly you must keep in mind the risks and it is better to put only small amounts to minimize losses, besides that don't focus too much on winning and it's better to enjoy the game a little so you don't get too tense.

I think there is no question here and the OP has explained the most important thing that gamblers must have both in terms of the limits that all gamblers must have and also with the perspective that must be applied to a win. However, putting any amount that we can be responsible for whatever the final result is, especially losing, will be a much better choice than putting a large amount. I can only conclude that if you gamble by putting a large amount then there is clearly something you are looking for, it seems that your goal is to get a bigger return (winnings) and that is greed.

The scenario that you should have gotten a much bigger win by putting a big amount but at that time you only put the amount you could afford, I think regret still has the possibility to happen because obviously if you put a big amount at that time then the win you achieved must also be much bigger, but this is the wrong mindset and point of view on gambling. The OP already said that we should focus more on the risk of losing than the chance of winning, because gambling is about luck and maybe you already know how difficult it is to get that luck. So I think there is no harm in not regretting at all because after all prevention is better than cure.
