1561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 20, 2024, 04:56:41 PM
Experts who sell their predictions, are not genuine most of the time. They are more concerned in selling those predictions as a means of making money through gambling, as wagering money offers lesser money in return. Most experts prioritize in making money in different means using gambling as the niche or the main center of attraction. Writing books, blog, tv shows, etc. include many other ways an expert can earn money from his skills and expertism. Sadly, the self-acclaimed experts we encounter these days don't care about making improvements. They bother only on sales. Gamblers that pay for predictions, complain, still, for losing out both ways. More expenses. Paid for the prediction, lost the game. The genuine experts who understand that no accurate strategy for winning in gambling, wouldn't guarantee anyone that they'll win using his predictions or strategy. A lot of experts boldly write in their book that their prediction shouldn't be taken as 100% accurate. Every gambler is expected to devise his own prediction and gamble. That's true fun. Winning out of someone else's prediction, only gives back the glory to the expert. Not the gambler.
Those who sell their predictions to people often get predictions from other prediction groups and then spread them among their own groups and say that it is the result of their analysis. People who use that prediction will not know at all if it is not the result of their analysis. Those people will be very happy to get these predictions and will immediately place their bets. That is why we have to learn to analyze ourselves and try to find sources of information that we can trust. We need to look for more information about the match that will take place for each team. This can help us to analyze each team so that we can continue to learn good and correct ways of analyzing. We also won't depend on people who share their predictions with people because we can already predict and know which team we can choose as a bet. But when someone shares a prediction with the public, we can use it after we do further analysis to find out how he got the prediction results. It is also part of improving our way of analyzing a match.

reanalyzing the analysis of the experts will help the gambler to have a firsthand information on the predictions and why it was kept the way it is by the expert. That would be extra work for the gambler, coupled with the amount of money he has paid to the expert. Many wouldn't want to engage into such stress again, they'll wager the amount of money that looks substantial for a big win on the prediction, because it's from an expert. The gambler would think it's accurate, then he'd definitely make it big. That's always a bad experience for gamblers in money aspect. In most case if the prediction works at some point the gambler won't stop buying the predictions. He'd stick to it despite seeing he's not winning anymore with the expert's help. It's fine that we may not mind wagering more money, even when we are losing out money.

But of what use would it be patronizing, over and over, an expert who contributes to the losses. It'll be great for the gambler to do it himself, since no difference is spotted. The player may get luckier using his prediction compared to what the expert has to offer. I've realized that gambling requires not much stress, doing lots of research and analysis. Investing little time predicting the game can be profitable than reading all the sport channels for hours trying to know what a football result will become in the next few hours. What will be of the match will be, and no amount of research would change it. The casual prediction has worked for many gamblers, including myself. Those games you thought wouldn't be positive or yield profits, ends up playing in your favor. While the ones we think is sure, ends up disappointing us, the gambler.

Experts rarely share their strategies to people, as they are busier with figuring out those strategies than making money. A player whose goal is to make money may not be able to invest the time experts utilize in maintaining a strategy. That's why it'll be difficult to get an expert's prediction. They do not believe it can work for somebody else, even if they shared the technique, s/he won't understand or win from it. Gamblers are not encouraged to try people's strategies. It needs to be mastered and accepted by the gambler, that he'll be able to retain his techniques without getting fed up. People who claim this, being an expert, gamble for money, and needs extra sources of income. If a real expert opens up himself to the society, people will keep asking him questions. Definitely some predictions of the expert won't work. Then people can begin to divorce the expert.   
Those who depend on an expert must be able to find someone who can analyze well because, so far, it is very rare to get predictions from an expert. Those who claim to be experts always say that their predictions are accurate, even though that will not always happen. A true expert will not openly say that he is an expert, but he will only tell it to people who know him. These experts do not want to be relied on by people who expect their predictions. They can also gamble alone without anyone following their predictions because they really gamble responsibly. People who rely on someone who claims to be an expert should be able to think that the predictions of this person who claims to be an expert will not always be correct. They must learn to analyze the match themselves and not rely on an expert. By learning on his own from many sources, he can improve his analytical skills and place bets without having to wait for predictions from an expert.

Experts who sell their predictions, are not genuine most of the time. They are more concerned in selling those predictions as a means of making money through gambling, as wagering money offers lesser money in return.

1563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 19, 2024, 11:02:16 PM
I'm not sure of the relatives, but it affects the close ones for real. I personally experienced it. Being into gambling I've suffered much and now I've come out partially. At times the loss can't be accepted and our minds won't work as we think. This affects the family and the close ones. They can see the difference and the same makes them down. Atleast to keep our surroundings happy we should have healthy gambling habit with limits.

Usually nothing you do in your life has influence on distant relatives. I have cousins that live in different countries. Sometimes we see each other once a year, sometimes every 2 years... If I died the only way it would affect them is that they'd have to come for the funeral. About what OP wrote, most of it is obvious. Yes, your lifestyle affects your family, but it's always like this, no matter if it's positive or negative. A person who goes to prison for a crime will affect the family, someone who overdoses drugs will, and so on, so forth.
It's important to not be selfish and notice what's going on around you.

Whatever we do affects our society, and when one is addicted, he has affected the life of few people in the society. Every road lead to the end of the world. Addiction can increase in a society if one influential person who is addicted influences the people around him. That's why to make a change, we must begin from ourselves. However, the distant relatives, have nothing to feel sad about if they weren't present in the time of occurrence, didn't hear the news, showed no effort to solve the problem, and didn't contribute in any way to solve the problem. Those who had personal encounter with the trouble and helped the person out of the addiction, will remember the incident, in what seems to be a long time. Those thoughts can affect the person in many ways, but it's his responsibility to bypass the reasoning and focus on their daily tasks.
1564  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to ride and stop! on: January 19, 2024, 10:52:14 PM
the temptation to chase winning and getting more often traps gamblers. especially when on a winning streak, gamblers play continuously and even increase their bets to get more money or want to increase the excitement of the game.

for some time this was very normal, because i was like that several times, playing continuously and increasing the bets to increase the challenge and increase the excitement of the game. but if this is done continuously it is a risky thing because it could get someone used to playing aggressively and not being able to control themselves.

therefore, gambling must be controlled, there is no need to be aggressive in playing, even to the point of playing continuously and not knowing how to stop. someone must take into account their potential loss and ensure that their next actions do not end up causing a total loss.
When I play I have also made these types of mistakes, but it is difficult to control it, but before making any bet that one says that they want to recover the above, they must remember that it is very likely that things will go wrong and they could lose everything what he plans to put in the casino and when that happens, well, those things are simply passed on, it is the best thing that can be done and with that he protects himself completely, so he doesn't start inventing, I have done it many times I haven't won, it's not because I've put in a lot of money either, but it's like something that's useless, I don't know if any jugaod has worked for them, but in my case it hasn't.

Those who pursue losses and want to recover that money it is very difficult, they cannot do it, it is impossible, things are always very different and it is about doing everything possible so that things can go differently, I advise not to seek profits If you play, don't let it be with the desire to take revenge on the game, because then you won't win but lose everything.

Chasing losses in gambling affects the financial economy of the gamblers. When doing that, the gambler is now spending on one purpose, different from what they previously had: claiming back the lost money. This state of mind grows deeper anytime the gambler continues to lose his money. To them it's a competition that must be won. Some gamblers try to compete with the house. Funny, but true. The Esport players sometimes would think the next win is near, and the need to spend more money is also important. Many situations where a gambler talks about his experiences, on spending his wins without having a rethink. At the end of the session that gambler will lose out the money. Because he'd be calculating his wins and is sure it's not enough to cover his losses and earn him profits. Then he'd go further to gamble with the winnings. Hoping for a better big win. It never gets better for such gamblers, the one they've won looks so small, that they'll want to skyrocket their financial status within seconds.

1565  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 19, 2024, 10:34:45 PM
Doing gambling regularly is not efficient in terms of chances of winning, let's say you lose in a row for 3 days you spend $200, on the fourth day you win $190 which we think is big without us realizing the capital we spend to win
Even if a gambler wins the jackpot, he will lose that money if he gambles every day. Gambling requires a gambler to endure human pressure. Regular gambling can make a person sick. Moreover, even if he wins two days, he will want to bet more the next day and then he will lose all his money. If he wins 2 thousand dollars in two days, on the third day he will try how to get 8 thousand with betting 4 thousand. The amount of his loss will be higher. A bettor must avoid the habit of gambling every day.

The lack of certainty and assurance is one of the factors why this can happen, people think that by gambling every day then it will more often bring themselves closer to the chances of winning, I understand and I would say that it is true but isn't it nothing more than a chance which means it is not certain? of course because on the other hand only luck will be able to confirm that you can really get a win. And as you say even though they get the jakcpot but still the victory will again run out the next day, because it is impossible for someone to get lucky in a row, meaning that if you have such an approach then you will only rotate in the same situation, 3 days of winning and 4 days of losing, like digging a hole and closing a hole that will never be finished.

In fact, this method will only make you lose money gradually and without you realizing it, and the idea that gambling every day can get us closer to winning is just a nonsense that comes out of the mouth of someone who is already addicted because they have an excessive behavior or approach to gambling due to the level of expectation of winning that is too high.


Who accepts he is wrong? nobody. Gamblers have too many ways of thinking, and that's what divides the behaviors of gamblers into multiple parts. Leaving each part meaningful to a certain type of gamblers. Provided the person has some control and managerial skill to perform extreme well in that gambling path or track, he'll succeed. Gamblers are bond to lose out to the house, yes. But how it happens can't be centered only on the factor that gamblers would gamble more whenever they win a jackpot. Some may take longer time, depending on the amount of money and the skills or strategies of the gambler. The money could take him a few more time before it ends. I've read of a jackpot winner who spent his money withing 6 years, despite living a flashy lifestyle.

Psychologically abundance of money leads to abundant expenses. Only a few bodies would be able to delay the strong gravity that draw us to spend huge amount of money, when we have lots of it. Especially on youths. Abundance of money ruins the youth. The money finishes at great speed because of the too many needs on their Wishlist. So, this not only happens to gamblers, but scammers are also infected with the same luxurious lifestyle. Hence, it shows the importance of psychological stability as a gambler. I'd say that not every gambler is pushed strongly to waste his huge amount of money. Some get hold of the money and make calculative expense and extend the duration of the money for a quite a long time, capable of putting us in a business that can yield a few more income.
1566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: January 19, 2024, 10:12:25 PM
It's a two-way street, gambling when they're awake and lying to them about what you're doing, which is not quite a lie though, he's actually playing a game. Or gamble when they're asleep and sacrifice your sleeping time for the sake of gambling. Many would go with the first option, as it's not a difficult task to tell the kid what we are doing, on the screen. Gambling is a game; the only difference is the amount of money we wager to play the game. People gamble in PlayStation games, it's still gambling and makes no changes, from the definition of what we have online. So, distracting the thoughts of the child is a smart move, but doing it moderately helps in stabilizing the curiosity of the child. Their brain is fast and remembers to some extent what we do and feel after playing the game.

A child may ask, dad why do you look so serious when playing the game, or your face looks sad whenever the game is over, why? These question as we may have it, came as a result of observation. If they watch you gamble, they'll master the facial reactions, and it wouldn't match with how they feel when playing a video game. The questions won't end, and we must be ready to keep on answering more query every day. I'd advise for the gambler to take it gradually, and gamble when the kids are not around us, as Dewi Aries said. The hardest aspect of it, is what we'd do, when the child wants to sit with us while playing the game. Kids can be worrisome, but we have nothing to do about it, then oblige to their numerous requests. You see it'll be wrong sharing same screen displaying a casino site, with a child. The child may begin to memorize what he's seeing on screen, and it's not conducive in my own view.

I think it's fine if you lie for the sake of something that leads to goodness because after all that's the best thing to do if indeed you are one of the fathers involved in gambling, and don't let you be careless in taking precautions so that your children's curiosity does not develop, plus it's clear as you said that a child usually has a sharp memory and also has a high enough sense of curiosity that this can make them find out what exactly you are doing and it is possible that they are involved in gambling without you realizing it. After all, as you said, there are still quite a lot of prevention options that we can do, one of which is in terms of dividing time, you can gamble at your children's bedtime or gamble in other places that are essentially far from your child's environment.

Well of course such a situation is also very likely to make a child become very curious about what exactly his father is doing, they will be very curious and then ask you some questions and if you always make the same mistakes in the sense of not paying too much attention to the importance of the prevention aspect then obviously the suspicion of a child will be more developed, so always keep this activity away from the environment and the view of a child if you really want the best for your child.

Those lies could help, but not forever. Sometimes humans forget what they said previously about a certain question. When that same question is repeated other times, weeks later, the recipient of the question may not give an answer that matches his previous answer, if he lied. The truth sticks to the brain, and we don't need to bother about fabricating something to say. They'll be nothing to lie about computerized objects moving in the screen. The child sees the avatars, and characters in the game. S/he may be wondering why daddy is seriously playing such games, that looks like it's meant for kids. Looking at it they know it's a game, why a grown adult is playing such a game.

Actually, the child may not be satisfied with the answer; truth or lies. So, they'll have to asks again some other times. When it doesn't correspond, the child may remind us of our previous answer, the lie didn't match. Creating more confusions. I think they'll should be more explanations to do, when in such a condition, a child being inquisitive of our gambling activity. Drawing an image, in the child's mind, of the quality and importance of the game, without mentioning gambling, that made you to engage in the game every day. Explanations makes confusing things clearer and brighter for a child. Let them see a reason. It will reduce the rate the child repeats his or her questions. While at it try diverging the discussion to other life situations and bringing it back to the main topic. With a good interpersonal skill, the gambler doesn't need to hide and play gambling. Unless the child distracts us from being attentive in the game, changing location will be fine.
1567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: January 19, 2024, 07:24:43 PM

Saving an addicted player who can't stop gambling easily, requires lots of time and duration. Addiction is like a chronic disease, which the victim needs adequate socialization to escape it. Due to the time, it may take, quitting addiction is hard to achieve. Some families would help their addicted ward to some extent and get tired along the line. Due to the amount of time and funds required to change that person. So, the family wouldn't be of help to the player, completely. His attention is to be needed for the services and he'd come home to rest. The technique the player should hold on to, is the ideas to say Well-done sir. No need making up strategies for winning. If the player gets to realize that, he may not be comfortable participating on strange casino.

The gambler who often play the gambling game irrespective of the time they automatically become the gambling addicted.But the fact is the gambler should ready to loss the money in the gambling site,it was commonly known as the responsibility of the gambler.Because the gambling people doesn’t blame for the profit in the gambling site,but why they do the complaining on the gambling site after the loss.The gambler automatically get the money,if they play the game without any doubt on the game.The gamblers don’t get addicted to gambling.
Gambling is fun and it's not that hard. People that are too desperate to win are the ones that area faced with the problem of seeing gambling like it is very difficult. Understanding how we are meant to gamble is what will help us to make good profits from gambling. It is good when we are  slow to gambling. This will help us to think very well and don't take decisions that would affect us and make us have another perception about gambling. Gambling may look hard to someone that might not been making profits from betting for a long time. To those that are making profits, it looks easy to them.

Winning helps in taking gambling as an easy game, which isn't right, though. Because gambling works strangely, the moment we begin to think it's simple the game might change and stop to favor us. That's why as gamblers we must be ready to face whatever outcome that emerges from our predictions. Those who sed gambling as a hard game, are mainly looking for a side hustle in gambling. And time without number is not getting the type of results a side hustler wants in his ventures. The act of taking things slowly, is quite a great means of being on a better angle of gambling. Where, we'd not move fast across the marks or limits we've set for our daily gambling. Mistakes of addicted gamblers, or people who ended up running that part, was moving too fast, chasing losses, trying to recover from their expenses.

Reviving this type of people back to gamble responsibly, would be difficult, and hard, because the person is quite on a fast pace, that he is not ready to stop anytime soon. Quitting gambling is hard, but harder for a person who is not yet ready to change or still enjoys his struggles of making a LongLife earnings through gambling. Gambling offers not many profits to participants, the fun and games we enjoy covers for the money we pay in gambling. Thinking about those who profits in gambling, it'll be a random set of people. Not everyone or a steady group of persons or gamblers profits in gambling. This week it could be me, and the upper week your time to profit. So, the reward is shared gradually and gets to almost every gambler at the designated time or whatever belief anyone has about lucky day.
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 19, 2024, 06:57:43 PM
Gambling brings a lot of profit for a small amount of money and sometimes a lot of money is completely lost so those who want to lead their life on gambling are very big fools because gambling will never win anyone regularly and in gambling most of the time there is an average loss so how can a person  Loan gambler can run his regular life with money.  A person may be lucky enough to be able to manage his life with gambling money for a period of time or a few months but not for the rest of his life.  And professional gamblers are patient so their losses are less.  So if someone gambles regularly he will become addicted to gambling no matter how professional he is
No one has ever earned and retained money in gambling. You may gain a lot of money today from your gambling but you may lose it the next day. No one knows when gambling will win and when it will lose. A person who is patient while gambling.  If he can gamble with, he will be successful in gambling and will be less likely to become addicted to gambling. If one wants to support his family by gambling, it will be a big mistake. Because one can never make a certain amount of money by gambling.
True because no one can predict the outcome of gambling with any guarantee if one wins big gambling today he can double it tomorrow there is no guarantee you can lose it.  So gambling should never be taken seriously. You should always treat gambling as fun otherwise you will unknowingly end up doing a lot of financial damage in the hope of profiting here so always be careful about this. And in gambling, controlling yourself is the biggest challenge and you always have to win this challenge

Gambling is a fun game and should be taken seriously because our funds are at stake. I understand you'd think, taking gambling seriously is bad, but it depends on the context. In the sense that the person needs to take his strategies seriously, and maintain adequate self-control and money management technique, the player is safe on that decision. But taking the outcome serious or partaking in gambling for the sake of gaining enough money to meet up with our family's financial responsibility is a wrong choice as gamblers. However, those who make such mistakes shouldn't be blamed or called all sort of names. In life nobody is above mistake, and most a times it's a result of lesser information on the side on the gambler. So, while a successful gambler may gamble each day, it doesn't make him vulnerable to addiction. Doing a particular thing every day doesn't lead us to get addicted in that activity.

In reality we can be addicted, when the self-control wears off like a wedding ring. We then stop loving the activity the way we used to in the past, but have no escape route to divorce the activity, just like in most marriages. So, while gambling, we need to stay lingering with our thoughts, on the motives we got before joining the gambling niche. Whenever the fun no longer entices us, giving it a break works fine. And most successful gamblers whom I've come in contact with their work, does same thing. They don't skip their annual gambling vacation. Which could be ranging for about 2-3 months duration, of no gambling. Such things help us as gamblers to be on a better side of gambling, the player will have enough time to spend with family and friends. Which is also an antidote for any addictive symptoms, provided we don't gamble while on vacation, the player is safe and may not get addicted.
1569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: January 19, 2024, 06:39:01 PM

The more a person is involved in gambling and struggle with addiction, his decision wouldn't be accurate. That's why they keep up losing money. So, getting to the level where the gambler is not stable or battle with great decisions, is not nice. Our human brain adapts to whatever activity we invest our time into. That means the player have to be smart, not to fail too much regardless of the gravity dragging him to gamble more. For a player who doesn't mind his behavior and thinks it's getting out of hand can consult his friends, and family. The help will then follow from the family's end. As some addicts would blame his family if they never helped him. So, if he gets troublesome and begin to lend money the family will pay for those debts. If a person begins to realize that his family plays a vital role in changing their mindset. Some are not in prison, while others are suffering from mental imprisonment. Starving the player from getting financial help from other gamblers, would help him control the urge of taking loans from people. Thereby relieving his family, the suffering of having to clear debts when the player is healed from his problems.
Too much of everything is always bad and same with gambling addiction or gambling activeness, because most times, whenever we get too involved in something, that thing tend to get our attention and possibly control our overall behaviour going forward from that point, so addiction comes from what we do consistently and on daily basis that is what transform into addictions when that activities eventually becomes uncontrollable.

So before anyone become fully addicted he or she will first of all go through the phase of over invomennt in gambling which always gives a warning sign to the I dividual before it escalate into bigger problems in the future.

Yes that's right, in any case everything that is done in excess is always bad, not only in gambling but for all activities in our real life is also the same, such as one of them excessive diet then obviously you will feel full and it will be quite disturbing to you and the bad thing is that you will suffer from obesity. And of course especially if you overdo it in gambling activities that really have a high level of risk, if you always overdo the involvement because you are too focused on the chances of winning then believe me that way will only make you tormented and lose balance in terms of finances in the long run and if you can't stop it then obviously you will enter a situation of addiction where you can't miss a moment not to gamble.

Basically all that would be great to do if your habit leads to something more positive, but if your habit is basically gambling then obviously I can't imagine how bad the impact will be when you become a chronic addict. Therefore, from now on we must continue to try to apply the following limits along with good assertiveness because the fact is that addiction can come without you realizing it.

More like those GTA Sandrea's days where CJ would over feed and vomits it, as a result of having enough money to cover for those food bills. Gambling to the level that the brain no longer could control the impulses that drives us to gamble will be hard to withstand the urge to stay gambling responsibly. The best thing to do is being regulative of the way we gamble. And not get carried away by anything whatsoever, which may change the mind of the gambler to keep going despite losing lots of money in the process. Many gamblers who have worn such shoes, some, never lived to regret it, the troubles and disgrace problem gambling caused them, left a lot in a state of mind that could cost the person's life in this big blue marble.

Such threads as this only should be as a warning for gamblers not to be victims of problem gambling to an extent of misbehaving in our various families. Cross addiction is hard when it gets to gambling addiction. That's why the aim of most advisers is to help as many gamblers as possible not to get addicted. The pain is much on the person that he wouldn't let go easily, to build a fresh habit. The money, and time lost, stays in the person's memory, almost, forever. A lot would decide to chase, as a means of removing the thoughts, but it doesn't change them, even though the money is recovered. Because the player will never get satisfied, he'd want to stake higher amount of money to get back bigger. These experiences, create a whole lot of tempting reasons why lots of gamblers will get addicted with the experts not being exempted. We all need to stay careful and be observant of any single behavioral change in us.
1570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: January 19, 2024, 06:17:01 PM
I think this is true when our kids grow up to the point where they understand what is gambling,at that point we should not gamble in front of them.Right now though I gamble and sometimes my daughter comes to see me,I tell her that this is the carrot and this the fish game as I play Rabbit Garden and Big Bass slots from Pragmatic most of the time.She thinks it is a game with fishes and rabbits and laughs at me,of course she is just over 3 years old and keeps smiling,she thinks I am working on the computer when she sees me.I tell her dad is doing a little game because it is needed for work as she with her innocence smiles at me,I don't think is harmful for now.

Yes it is true, there is a time when children can understand about everything they see and this can be one of the reasons why we should always keep our gambling activities a secret from them and even from when they are very young, the sooner the better because after all, all parents do not want their children to be involved in something wrong even though the parents are basically doing it too. From the case you presented about your child asking what you were doing I think your answer is quite good and well-reasoned.

But on the other hand I hope you stay alert and careful with your gambling activities, I mean keep your gambling activities away from your children's environment by trying not to gamble first if you are close to their position because if they see something like that or gambling that you do several times then I think it is very likely to develop their curiosity about what exactly you are doing with the game.

It's a two-way street, gambling when they're awake and lying to them about what you're doing, which is not quite a lie though, he's actually playing a game. Or gamble when they're asleep and sacrifice your sleeping time for the sake of gambling. Many would go with the first option, as it's not a difficult task to tell the kid what we are doing, on the screen. Gambling is a game; the only difference is the amount of money we wager to play the game. People gamble in PlayStation games, it's still gambling and makes no changes, from the definition of what we have online. So, distracting the thoughts of the child is a smart move, but doing it moderately helps in stabilizing the curiosity of the child. Their brain is fast and remembers to some extent what we do and feel after playing the game.

A child may ask, dad why do you look so serious when playing the game, or your face looks sad whenever the game is over, why? These question as we may have it, came as a result of observation. If they watch you gamble, they'll master the facial reactions, and it wouldn't match with how they feel when playing a video game. The questions won't end, and we must be ready to keep on answering more query every day. I'd advise for the gambler to take it gradually, and gamble when the kids are not around us, as Dewi Aries said. The hardest aspect of it, is what we'd do, when the child wants to sit with us while playing the game. Kids can be worrisome, but we have nothing to do about it, then oblige to their numerous requests. You see it'll be wrong sharing same screen displaying a casino site, with a child. The child may begin to memorize what he's seeing on screen, and it's not conducive in my own view.

Online casino would have been completely made private, if not for KYC. But the need to make it a fun place for communication, may not be as expected by some gamblers who wants the communication features available. On the long run, we could be seeing some casino who would adjust things and make availability for a better fun platform. Yet it wouldn't make many changes since the aim of other gambler is to gamble and chat using the chatbox. Any other feature one needs could be gotten on social media platforms. Nothing else can be done to change the way online gamblers communicate with one another. It must be on screen. We cannot feel or touch them, hence the virtual reality we seem to get isn't proper fun compared to what physical casinos provide for gamblers. However, the physical casino is fun, but people still mind their businesses. It's not like all people go there to do is socializing.

Surely anonymity is an important aspect of online gambling.

But probably the communications infrastructure in online casinos could be improved even with it in mind.
For instance when playing any card game in a table there could be an avatar based chat system where the text appears as though it's text bubbles (think of it like a comic).

Also for any other casino game, there could be a specific chat where maybe players could join each other's session.
If I make a big win for instance, I can share a clip. But what if I could share my live session and even have a specific chat for it?

There's many possibilities.

In the perspective of yours, it's opening up a new view on my end that the gambling platforms may collaborate with online platforms like Instagram to handle those live video sessions. It'll save the casino some bandwidth while sharing some customers with the online social media platform which already pays a lot on bandwidths enough to accept any number of videos. If the casino, allows for gamblers to make live sessions it'll be quite fun, but may be flooded by unending number of gamblers who would priorities on those fun parts until the site begin to lag or perform slowly. Looking at the enormous amount of software running on the casino website, adding more features could be a hassle on the long run. The chat rooms or box made available seem to be the best they could provide. But your idea shows how important it is to make the online casino a fun place for participants to engage with one another and see no reason to visit the offline casino.

That will intrigue many gamblers to spend more time in the online casino, thereby generating more money for the casino to cover for bandwidth, and things as such. But, if it gets too compactible to what we've got on Instagram or other social media platform, visitor may now depend on watching live sessions, instead of gambling. These changes could deter or distract some player's concentration on gambling. Since its highly an emotional intelligent game, players need to focus carefully and abstain from any distraction. While many would like it, I understand, but lots of people wouldn't feel comfortable have a social online gambling platform. That means, expect a diminishing return on the long run.
1572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: January 19, 2024, 05:41:11 PM
When we don't want to lose when gambling, it's best not to gamble so we can save the money well. We will not feel like we are losing money because of gambling, and we can do other things that can also give us pleasure. But when we are provoked into trying to gamble, we can forget to control ourselves until we lose a lot of money. When we have experienced the loss of a lot of money, we will no longer feel pleasure but have replaced it with the desire to recover from the loss. But unfortunately, by trying to recover from these losses, we will only experience more losses, which is really not worth doing. We must really be able to limit our gambling activities before we experience bad things that can cause our finances to collapse and run out of all the money we have.

And it is true that before we start gambling, we should think about what the consequences would be if we lose the money we have collected so that we can make the right decision. We don't need to gamble like other people because we don't want to lose much money. The decision is in our hands, and we should really think about it before deciding so that we can make the right decision.

Gamblers should stop acting like losing is not the most occurring outcome of gambling. When a player already knows about losing in gambling. Why then would he get sad if it happens. It's more like being aware of an incident which is about to happen, and when it does occur the person begin to act as if he wasn't informed earlier about it. Same applies to the pleasure gained via gambling, but some wave it away and don't bother to remember the fun but decides to feel sad or angry if they don't win. One must not always win in gambling, losing comes more than winning. The earlier gamblers begin to get used to losing the better for them. They'll enjoy the game better than those who look forward to winning without losing. Getting over those losses will help the gambler to focus on his next valuable prediction other than chasing losses.

We spend money every day of our life, and gambling should be part of our budgets. Pondering in sadness over lost money in gambling is more like being sad for hanging out with friends and family ordering drinks and food in a restaurant, and the bill handed over to us. Provided we have the money and it's not too much of a bill, then clearing it wouldn't make us feel sad. Same applies to gambling. Once the gambler is spending minimal money his facial reaction wouldn't make any difference even though he losses the money. That's why we, gamblers, are advised to gamble money that we wouldn't feel sad losing. Like the instance I gave above, regarding visiting a restaurant. If you spend big amount of money in gambling and lose, there is no way anger wouldn't flourish in your mind.
1573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A brief advice for the newbie gamblers. on: January 19, 2024, 03:23:14 PM
I will keep on saying the same old thing, newbies that are new to gambling should only use the amount that they can afford to lose for gambling, and don't use the money that you have budgeted for some important to gamble. Don't take loan to gamble because it will only increase your addiction.

Addiction is bad and can ruin you before you realize it, this is why you shouldn't see gambling as a means to make profit or a means to pass time, so that you don't become addicted to it. However, you can gamble once or twice in a week and set a gamble budget for your gambling activities. Don't get carried away with other people's wins, because gambling is based on luck.
Setting gambling limit is the easiest way out to staying out of addiction or better still it's a better way of preventing yourself from getting to the point of addiction gambling, when you have a budget with which you are gambling with and you are disciplined enough to sticking to it then it would be easier for you.

But when you gambling at will just without any budget or any form of discipline it is possible you can gradually get to the point of gambling addiction especially when you are using money you can't comfortable lose then you may get addicted chasing losses and you may end up loosing even more , using what you can comfortably loose will enable you not to get too emotional such that you would want to revenge on the casino and win and recover your funds but then you may most likely not win enough to recover your losses except you are lucky
"LIMITATION"

This is something that you should really be needing to set since from the start on which you should really that make because having limits wouldnt really be leading into possible addiction.
This is something that you should really be following on where on the time that you are losing that much then calling it a day or having a break wont really be that a bad idea,
there are really just or simply majority of people would really be that thinking about having those winnings on which not all people would really be able to control themselves
which they do fail up miserable in speaking about self control. Some could but mostly couldnt and this what makes them ending up on having that messy financial statuses.

Gambling with no limits will only gift the casino the control of deciding when the gambler will stop gambling, which is once the bank roll blinks zero. Gamblers who have troubles with limiting their gambling session, may not avoid stopping even when their funds have been exhausted. They'll want to replenish and play some more until their bank account runs dry. That's a bad attitude for a gambler not to have some limits to his actions while gambling. Playing with some limits helps the gambler to save up money and stay away from chasing losses. Which can lead the gambler to get addicted on the long run. Hence, it's important that every gambler try to develop some self-control for gambling purposes. The ability to control the need to gamble excessively helps gamblers to be responsible and not think of gambling as a place to double their income. Or the fastest means of making money.

Discovering the right moment to call it a day may be hard for some gamblers. So, trying to help them out could be a nice idea for us as gamblers and save the community from lots of irresponsible gamblers. Who with their numerous financial problems, tarnish the image of gamblers in the society, when facing problem gambling. Lack of limitation also contributes to bad gambling habit. In the sense that the gambler, participates in gambling whenever he wishes. When the control is missing out the gambler misses on the fun activities one could get in gambling. Instead, they'll be in trouble and struggle emotionally. Which is not in the slightest the main aim of gambling. Before a person tries to venture into gambling, he may have tested himself to be capable of being emotionally and psychologically stable.

That for every movement in the world you need to have money , there is no other option if we do not have money things will go wrong for us and that will cause us to lose many things, on the personal level we ourselves are people who will always have Something to do well in things. casinos, for everything that a casino means, if we are tempted to play in a casino with money that we can lose, then there are no problems , it is what is recommended  , but even more so if we start to see things when we are in a casino We study how to be able to make money quickly without so much trouble, and that is where the problem lies, because we need to have more, and when we bet more and more we cannot control that, for that reason we must Control ourselves so that These things that are so unpleasant don't happen, I don't know, but I hate losing money in such a stupid way, because it's something that's not within my Budget and it's something that I always have to see that it shouldn't be done.

I have always said that we casinos , when we enter , must be careful with our money, the premise must always be to take care of it and try to save it and multiply it, because otherwise things will not turn out well if we do them for the sake of doing them, we will always look for the best I want to have control and what better way than what I say, if you have money willing to lose you can allocate it only to the game and nothing happens, but if there is no money to lose , we cannot play , playing will always mean losing money, so Otherwise things will be very difficult for them to improve, in this sense we are people who must be responsible with our own things, something as important as money should not be Wasted or treated Badly , much less Badly spent on something that will not bring us benefits, if the casino is for fun, but the control that we must have over the money is Unique and we must not Generate any other type of Feeling.

Money is vital and should be spent carefully, as the lack of money isn't good for anyone or project. The gambling journey also needs money to sustain it and provide fun or wins for the gamblers. If a player decides to neglect the need to manage his money, he is not only doing himself wrong, but a bad stewardship to the society. Existentialism is about choices. And whatever it is, gets to affect the society. The money we own also belongs to the society, we didn't create it, instead through some means, a body gave it to us. Hence, maltreating the money will only affect our economy and that of the society. Especially when the gambler runs out of money, he'd be bothered on other financial responsibilities which he needs to look into and resolve.

However, this it not only applicable to gambling, other aspects of life, where money is needed, shouldn't be abused with lots of unaccounted money. The problem with such gamblers is the inability to confide with somebody or listen to the advice of other persons. Although, it's not the gambler's fault, depending on their experiences, the player may have not been oriented enough to understand that gambling requires management skills and self-control to bypass the urge to stake almost all our bank rolls. Losing those trainings, may end up putting the player in a situation where he'd never learn a thing on gambling. Since the process could get to a stage where the newbie or gambler wouldn't stay in control anymore. In a situation where the gambler drinks before gambling, for instance, if not cautioned earlier, it'll be hard to correct when he's now indebted to the habit that he won't reverse his habit anymore.

1575  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: January 19, 2024, 02:20:07 PM
Gambling I think will be better for us as much as it can be hidden from people. Because gambling is not seen well by the people of society so we will try to hide gambling as much as possible. Smart people never want everyone to know about their gambling. He will try to gamble secretly from everyone. During gambling we face various problems due to some small mistakes like family members relatives all know that we are addicted to gambling.
Yes, sometimes hiding about our gambling activities makes us more comfortable because we know the community always associates gambling with bad things, even when something bad happens to someone and he is known to be a gambler, the community thinks it is the impact of gambling, even though behind it there are many people who It is indeed bad because of gambling, but there are quite a few people who can continue to gamble responsibly and gambling does not make their lives worse.
I do not intend to tell about my gambling activities to the people closest to me and because so far it is still within reasonable limits so I don't feel the need to tell them, and in fact there are advantages if we tell about our gambling when we become addicted so that the people closest to us can realize it and help us by taking to treatment to recover from addiction.

For the sake of hiding our intentions from the people around us, gambling secretly can be a nice option, but what if our family member is about to get into gambling and asks for our contribution. Would we keep calm and tell them we have little or no contribution to add to their new decision. That's where the hidden truth needs to be unveiled so that nobody close to us will get into problem gambling. As it'll affect us and the newbie gambler as well. Hence, while we gamble secretly for some reasons, best known to us, opening up when requested is great. Considering the thoughts of the society about gambling could be another reason for most people. But personally, I don't care on their take.

What is needed of me to do for the society is respect myself and keep true to the habit which I attained through gambling. Instead of wasting money or gambling irresponsibly, doing the right thing by obeying good strategy is the only respect I've got for my society. Hiding it is great, but makes no difference, when the person doesn't regard the society. In terms of being responsible and doing what's right. Most often, the people who waste money in gambling and get addicted are the ones that hide their gambling habit from people. It's a good thing to know our self, and what is beneficial to us, once that has been achieved, whatever the people want to say wouldn't amount to be a threat or fear of behaving in a low form of hiding something good. Gambling is not bad. Gamblers are like people who practice civil disobedience. Doing something that is good, but the society thinks it's bad or wrong.

1576  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 19, 2024, 01:10:06 PM
But don’t be fooled because everyday, you equally have the chance to lose your money too. Gambling everyday is just too much as it will only result in strong addiction. It isn’t and shouldn’t be a job. I think it is best to get a job, like maybe learn a skill. You can still gamble but then you have a proper job and you aren’t entirely relying on probability to win money or make a living. It is easier when you aren’t addicted, once you are, it feels like it runs in your blood. Even when you consciously try to run away from it, it finds a way to call you back.
You are very right mate,gambling everyday shows that you are now too much into the game,and you cannot do without it.Those who gamble everyday are mostly people who dont have a reasonable job to do that fetches them money, therefore,they rely on gambling to sustain or to earn a living.It is however not adviceable to be an everyday gambler,those who gamble everyday have a great chance of getting loss on a steady basis,so the best thing to do is to gamble when you have so many sure options to gamble on.
Yes, those who gamble every day of course they don't have a job that can make them avoid gambling activities and they only do part-time jobs and use the free time they have to gamble and if they win they will certainly be able to use it well because they know If they don't use the winnings well then they won't have the money for the needs they need. Of course, it would be a very good thing if we knew when is the right time to gamble, because if we continue to gamble every day of course we will not be able to control this habit and will have financial problems.

A high number of gamblers spend time each day to get fun or money through gambling. It all depends on the choice of the player. That doesn't mean they're jobless. Humans have leisure time, when they can rest. Gambling is a way of resting for some gamblers. Though people would think the gambler is jobless or don't have other things doing with their time, but it's all a personal response, which doesn't amount to any meaning, since no research has been implemented to make the accusation right. Few months ago, before the holidays, for some reason I visited the gambling house to meet new faces of gamblers. At some point a friend told me that If I keep coming every day, people will think I'm jobless and have nothing to do with my time. Those who make such comments have different reason for saying it, same as the gambler, who gamble each day.

It's true, lots of bad players waste time and money every day gambling. Hoping to gain more wins or hit the jackpot. While responsible gamblers get fun, through gamblers, the irresponsible players get carried away and lose out on their games. As the Op's friend may have said, they are gamblers who win more for gambling every day. But that doesn't mean the technique applies to every other gambler in the niche. Moderating the time and money spent is the best decision as gamblers. Notwithstanding how many times the person gambles, he wouldn't face many troubles, even losses, when in control of his choices and decisions. One thing is for sure certain, the win and losses would be coming up more than often expected by any gambler. That's why we all are advised to have minimal gambling durations. At least to save up money.

1577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: January 18, 2024, 10:49:09 PM
Many gamblers have hard such expensive experience, from following such gambling partten for God sake, I don't see any need to continue gambling when I have already reached my set limits and achieve the main aim, such as winning at the stand because that is when I need to apply the most needed caution cause at that moment you are already over stepping the boundaries and will eventually end on the negative side of things.

But those who are already addicted to gambling can not follow such partten as their tend to get overly carried away by they addictions that make them to over step their boundaries without they knowledge since the controlled by their addictions.
When you reach that limit, that's when you're gonna know that what you're saying is going to be difficult because a person that's continuously losing is going to be mad about their losses and they don't think straight so they do what they think is the solution to their lose streak which would be to play again and repeat the mistake. This thread wouldn't be this long if the pattern isn't happening to every gambler out there, the problem with this repetition of pattern is something should've been resolved during the childhood or formative years of that gambler, it's a habit that's subconsciously developed from different activities combined with different experience so it's difficult to do any kind of rehabilitation when fully formed but once taken care of, addiction or problems arising from that habit is going to not be an issue anymore.

The more a person is involved in gambling and struggle with addiction, his decision wouldn't be accurate. That's why they keep up losing money. So, getting to the level where the gambler is not stable or battle with great decisions, is not nice. Our human brain adapts to whatever activity we invest our time into. That means the player have to be smart, not to fail too much regardless of the gravity dragging him to gamble more. For a player who doesn't mind his behavior and thinks it's getting out of hand can consult his friends, and family. The help will then follow from the family's end. As some addicts would blame his family if they never helped him. So, if he gets troublesome and begin to lend money the family will pay for those debts. If a person begins to realize that his family plays a vital role in changing their mindset, he'd begin to ask himself some useful questions about the need to change. At least to save his family the stress of having to pay so much. The addicts sometimes remember what's happening before it skips their mind again. That means when in their right control or senses, those imaginations begin to erupt in the brain of the person. Where he gets worried of what is going on and why everyone is focused on him as the primary problem. Some are in prison for their crimes, but a gambling addict is suffering from mental imprisonment. Starving the player from getting financial help from others, would help him control the urge of taking loans from people. Thereby relieving his family, the suffering of having to clear debts when the player is healed from his problems.
1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 18, 2024, 10:31:30 PM
This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?

Let's discuss amicably
No, I wouldn't care, I just ignore them. there is no point caring for someone's opinion about you if they don't really know you. besides, people who love judging other people are usually hypocrites and are just projecting their insecurities towards others to make themselves feel good about themselves. I've had my fair share of people like the one you mention and one of the things I've learned about those kinds of people is that ignoring their opinion and not getting a reaction out of you Irritates them, which is funny(at least for me).

Good you've noticed how uncomfortable such people get if they gambler doesn't feel worried or bother about what they say regarding his habit. Most times such people also engage in other activities worse than gambling but point fingers on the gambler over his attitude. As adults, no need minding what people say or think about our actions. How we treat this type of people differs, depending on who they're to us. If it's a stranger, and he has some listening ears, about what I'd have to tell him, then discussing with the person would be my best take. Although, if they claim to know better, ignoring the person works best. In the case of a family member, removing their doubt is the best move. At least to reduce his thoughts that I'd get addicted and cause more harm to the family. Everyone is groomed uniquely and the way we solve our troubles wouldn't be similar. People must talk, our lapses would be having their wrong thoughts in mind.

Sometimes when a person I don't know begin to say all sort of things regarding my habit and how it could lead me to run out of money. I'd give them a response, like, do you think saving money is the best financial move? The person gets interested in the conversation, when I begin sharing few knowledge of mine why they shouldn't rely on savings alone. And for means to better their lives. Not saying that any gambler or the society is not capable of voicing his thoughts out to the hearing of a loved one, who is having a problem with gambling. The truth is, we need to respect one another in the society. Handling issues gradually, is the best means of reaching our to a healing points. Those who can't keep their mouth short, would be left behind to think of why they didn't get a response. After multiple years, of gambling, recently people stop complaining because whatever they thought would happen didn't occur.  
1579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 18, 2024, 10:11:11 PM
For me of course it affects my betting mentality. I would definitely feel inferior if someone next to me bet bigger than me.
Sometimes it makes me hesitate to bet, in the end I just watch first until I can really decide to bet. But of course I won't go crazy all in to equalize my betting amount.
I will continue to use my funds according to what I planned at the beginning before playing.

I think it's normal for you to be influenced by what you see other people doing, no matter what the situation is you are gambling with other people or your friends with the same position and close together, I'm sure that at least there will be your feelings to follow the amount of large bets he did this is a natural feeling that humans have, and the rest is depending on how he can control himself, whether he will decide to follow him in the sense of being influenced or stay firm on the planning and approach he has in gambling.

I think the better way is that there is no other way than you prefer to stay firm on your own decisions and confidence, do not follow the large amount of bets made by others, after all they do not guarantee you to win if you follow the way they do, in the sense that in gambling whatever happens at the end of the session then it is entirely the responsibility of each gambler who experiences it, and with that means you better gamble with decisions on your own abilities in the sense of not overdoing it and not going out of your limits.

Other player's money or strategy may tend to make a gambler try gambling out of his will, that is, betting more money, just to win like the next gambler. It's not bad, however, yet the player holds himself for the outcome of his game. The person we spied their game, may have wagered his spare cash. He won't be bothered over his results; win or loss. While the next person would end up being worried over losing a bigger amount, which he didn't plan on spending. Gambling shouldn't be considered a competition. Everyone should mind his bank roll and care less over the winnings of other people, which is not ours. Truthfully, those wins are so tempting, looking at the amount of money a fellow gambler has won. A player with less self-control would lose his principles and rush his games. That only doesn't help the person, but it could be detrimental to his future gambling experience.

Meaning, he wouldn't enjoy gambling. Because the player now relies on the result of other people as a motivator for gambling. His own goals have been forgotten by him. The previous plans don't get practiced and the gambler wouldn't perform great in a strategy he is not used to playing. So, it's a bad habit as a gambler to let go of our plans for other player's, due to the money they've won using their strategy or plan. Within a short period, we'd win using the same strategy we thought wasn't smart enough. Gambling has not powerful strategy for winning. Whatever is our strategy only need us to understand it better and control the way we gamble to extend our gambling duration. The longer we gamble, the more experienced we'd become.

I don’t consider myself an addicted person, but a few videos were enough for me to understand how difficult this path is. I don’t watch them now, but they made an impression on me and I remembered them for a very long time, if not forever. These are stories that balance on the edge of black and white. These videos help you where you can end up. I’m not saying that these videos, with interviews in which addicts tell how they hit rock bottom, will necessarily help, of course, for some it will simply not be interesting or even irritating. This will make some players think twice before clicking the "deposit" button.

Yes, but some players who are in a severe stage can pretend that they are undergoing therapy and do everything they are told. Even if it goes away over a long period of time. And he knows that as soon as he is released, he will take up the game without hesitation. There are players for whom nothing will fix or help, but if we don’t try any treatment methods, then we won’t even have a chance for healing.

The path is quite very hard and without those videos a non-addict wouldn't understand the hard steps needed to be cured from addiction. It's not a simple task. I grasp your idea. Instead of getting addicted or waiting till the person get addicted before he's attended to or taken to the clinic. It's a good thing for non-gamblers to watch such videos and learn from the mistakes of others. Although not everyone would abide by the instruction. They'll take it for granted and think that addiction isn't for them, as they've been responsible gamblers. However, before a person goes for therapy as an addict, the zeal to change must be in the back of the person's mind. People shouldn't be forced to visit the therapist; else they'll behave like what you said in your last paragraph.

A person who not ready to change, even though he goes to a rehab center for more than a year duration, the person will come out and gamble more than he used to, before he visited the rehab center. Restrictions pauses an attitude but doesn't change it entirely. Provided the addict still thinks about gambling, the whole treatment would be a wasted effort. In a clinic like that, I'd talk to the person to realize his troubles and figure whether to continue therapy or not. If he sounds unserious or not interested in the discussion. Persuading him would be a waste of time. He may end up not visiting the clinic again, or decide to leave the environment if his family doesn't let him rest with their numerous complaints. Convincing him to change would be the hardest part of healing such an addict. But, it's achievable. Begining the process, is better than not trying.
