1581  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: October 26, 2023, 04:51:12 PM
If she had really thought about canceling the wedding because the money was being used for gambling, maybe that would be better for her. What the man did was unreasonable because he had chosen the wrong path by using the money from his wedding to gamble. He should be very sorry for using his money to gamble and apologize to the woman. But I don't know if the woman will forgive the man even though she really loves him.

Perhaps it was a difficult decision for the woman to cancel her marriage, but she could not continue the marriage if she no longer had any money. However, perhaps the man would have returned to gambling again if they had remained married because he had already had the idea of using his money to gamble in the hope that he could double his money so that they could get money quickly. Everything now depends on the woman.
1582  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 26, 2023, 04:12:43 PM
(...)How about you guys, are you having a good fortune on your gambling career? Do you ever think of quitting after you won a jackpot?
Yes, I can mention the level of luck here, and I also want to share this about my personal case: many years ago I also bought the lottery, and fortunately I won twice, But the bonus is not too big because it is based on the ratio of the special prize you bet on the last pair of numbers. With a 100x rate, I only bought $1 each time I won.
I know it's really luck because I know this game quite well since my grandfather often participated, but the level of winning is almost impossible, and indeed that brings a feeling of excitement, at that time. These were times when I didn't have much work to earn income, so it was an important amount of money at that time.
If you can win twice, that is great luck and a big win for you because that is very rare for most people. They will experience more losses by continuing to buy the lottery and hope that their numbers will come out. And they also need a long time to see their winning number. But if you keep buying lottery tickets again after winning, it may not be easy to win again, especially if you have already won twice. Of course, the dealer doesn't want to see you win again, right? Grin

And when you and we can win at the lottery game, we should be able to stop and enjoy the winnings, whatever the amount. We don't need to buy another lottery ticket for a while to ease the tension after getting that win. Resting for a while is better, and buying the lottery ticket another day.
1583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 26, 2023, 03:52:59 PM
To be a frugal gambler is more easy wherein one made the choice on their own to gamble and under no peer or pressure or duress.
It's more about knowing the best games to gamble on, that's the games that are easy to predict and win or place bet on and win. Not every game or casino games are easy for everyone to understand and mostly to bet and win on.
It is better to be a gambler who can save his expenses in gambling than to force his desire to continue gambling while he does not know when he will win. By doing this, he can enjoy his time gambling and not expect to win too much and let the winnings come to him. If he doesn't win that day, he will stop gambling and leave the casino and maybe he won't for a few days to avoid a stronger desire to gamble especially since he has experienced losses before. He knows that gambling is entertainment and for that reason, he doesn't force himself to gamble for too long because he doesn't want to lose more. He tries to limit himself from gambling for too long so he can save his money so he can use it another day.
1584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 26, 2023, 03:37:31 PM
How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?
Although I ever did this before but I would definitely not finance anyone to gamble again whether they're a friend or not. It's not ethical to finance someone else's gambling and it's also a risky financial move. And even if they do win there's no guarantee that they will actually share their winnings with you. Anyone who asks you to finance their gambling is asking you to take a major risk with your own money and it's just not worth it. My finances are too important to gamble with.
What you say is true because that is their wish, and we also don't need to finance other people's gambling. We are only worried that he cannot pay back the money he borrowed to gamble due to total defeat and losing all his money. That is risky for him and us, who have lent him money to gamble, so we also bear the consequences. It is true that if he wins, he can get money, but there is no guarantee that he can control himself to continue gambling after getting the win. He could have told her that he still needed his money to gamble a few more rounds so that his winnings would be bigger and he could pay back all his debts. The risk would be even greater if he said that because in the next round, he could lose all his money, so he couldn't return the loan to us.
1585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: October 26, 2023, 03:13:46 PM
because gambling is very exciting and very adrenaline-pumping, only lucky people can avoid gambling addiction, there are many gambling addicts out there who initially just play as usual but they start to get greedy when their capital has run out
Avoiding becoming and addict is base on decision and not by luck, winning sometimes is what’s base on luck and not becoming an addict, a gambler who turns out to be an addict is someone who don’t have self discipline and can’t control its self, that don’t have anything to do with luck.

One just need to stand by their set out goal, spending amount and anything that they know can keep them on the track of not always wanting to be in the casino or gambling shop, luck can only help them win money from the casino and the games which they have played. Self discipline is the major key to escaping gambling addiction.
But it won't be easy to stick to the set goals, especially if he lacks self-control. He will only return to gambling and gambling continuously, which could cause him to experience more and more losses if he doesn't realize how to stop gambling immediately. Gambling is very exciting and adrenaline-pumping, but we must determine how long we gamble and how much money we can use. For this reason, we must have limits on gambling so that we don't gamble excessively, which can result in us losing more money.

Having greed come to him and not being able to overcome his greed will only make him want to continue gambling, and that will make him a gambling addict without realizing it. When he becomes a gambling addict and experiences many losses, he becomes increasingly frustrated with his situation. He will only become emotional and often get angry at the people around him.

The terms of use on almost all sites are similar, if not pasted copies of one another. For new users or those who have mastered the basics without much experience, it will not be of much benefit to them to carefully review these conditions if the platform intends to trick them. In this sense, the forum has one of the most important roles related to those reviews published by users from here and there, which can greatly help in guiding those new users to choose which casinos are safer and which platforms are more suitable for each of their preparations.
Yes, forums can help provide more information because some members already have experience playing gambling on certain casino sites and even casino sites outside this forum. They will provide reviews to members who ask about the site or share their experiences gambling at other casinos. This will certainly be useful for anyone looking for more information about the casino so they can know their options. In this forum, we already have many recommended casinos that can be an option for people who haven't found their favorite casino and still want to read reviews from members here.
1587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 26, 2023, 02:19:21 PM
Just thinking about turning gambling into a full time job is a bit risky.
Those that have taken it as a full time job understands the risk that it bears.

It is in the mind that we have allowed our thoughts to be controlled by wrong views and beliefs. We have immediately put our mind in jeopardy because it is not realistic.
Honestly, it is realistic when someone makes gambling a career and becomes successful on it but the chances for it to happen for an individual is pretty low.

Those that have made a good run on it and still are on it, they see that it's possible for them to make that happen but they need to realize that it's not going to last long.
It is realistic, but we know that it will never be easy to do it and get it because there are many things we have to learn, and only a few people can do it. Those who are not capable and keep trying will only experience bigger losses, and if they still don't realize it, they will experience losses. That's where we have to realize that making gambling a career will not work well, and we should think about looking for other ways that have better opportunities to build a career. They can work in an office with a definite career path, so they only need to focus on their work to get promoted one day.
1588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? on: October 26, 2023, 01:51:21 PM

The best decision I would advise one to do is totally subtracting anyone in the space.  There's basically this thing that ought to be corrected within gamblers. They always come across one or two records that brings back sad and terrible memories which would have been left unsaid. It's fundamentally of no use to me because I clearly see no reason why we should be keeping records of our winning and losses, it will only bring back old memories which might persuaded one to take drastic decision for the purpose to bounce back to the system.
It could be that it will make him feel like he has lost a lot of money, and there is a desire to gamble more often to return or recover the money lost. And if that happens, he only increases the number of losses to be greater, but he will not be able to recover all his losses unless he can get a very big win. But that wouldn't be possible if he didn't have great luck, which would be very rare. For some gamblers, having a record of wins and losses can provide a warning of how far we have gambled and what we should do so that if we experience a lot of losses, we know what we should do.

Advise is a good factor to move away slowly only if the person is not just listening but really doing what he's thinking that he needs to do, I like the idea of slowing down and trying to minimize their gambling activities, it's much closer to how you really wanted to stop compared with those who keep saying that they will but the force of gambling dominating and instead of stopping they will double their time and money thinking that the last ride will always be sweeter.
Slowing down or minimizing his gambling activities will not make him think about gambling more often because he is already doing other things that interest him to continue doing it. This might get him away from gambling slowly, and he won't notice it because it's like a distraction from gambling. If he is serious about doing new things that are not related to gambling and moves away from gambling slowly, he can leave gambling behind. Later, after they have carried out their new activity for some time, they can reduce their gambling and even leave gambling forever. After he succeeded in leaving gambling, he could share his story with people who also intended to leave gambling but didn't know how. That will give them ideas that will work better for them.

As with most things there are services that cater to every single socioeconomic background that exists, so there are rehabilitation centers that are very expensive for those which can afford them, while there are free options available for those which do not have any money to pay for them.

However the treatment in terms of the methods used should be roughly the same, the only thing that varies is the environment and the available resources the therapists have at their disposal, but for those that are determined to improve their lives such a thing is not really a big deal.
Therefore, it is best for people who want to cure their addiction to go to the nearest hospital for a consultation, where there is a rehabilitation center for gambling addicts, so they can immediately receive further treatment. They may seek referrals by stating they cannot afford the expensive fees. There must be relief for those who cannot afford the costs, especially if the government has given serious attention to helping gambling addicts.

Perhaps the method will be a little different between those who can pay and those who can't, but that doesn't matter as long as the gambling addict and his family can truly undergo therapy, it can still be done. And later, those who undergo treatment there will undergo every therapy process but must take it seriously to be able to cure their gambling addicts.

Better not to risk or try it up because once we are on our work place then it would really be just that right that you should really be focusing on the job or work that you are assigned into.
Yes, you might be able to get some chance or moment for you to do some gambling online with your mobile phone but always think up that there's someone who is really that watching you when it comes to behavior and performance overall. If they would really be seeing you on someone who arent that efficient when it comes to jobs given due to those side activities then you are really that putting yourself on such potential trouble which you might really be getting up on getting fired and this is something that we dont really like to happen.

This is why getting that confident that you can do all sorts of things that you do like could really be applied on some places specially on which you do work.
Therefore, it would really be always better that you should really be that avoiding on such thing when you are on work yet it could totally wait you up when you are at home.
Dont tolerate that kind of gambling urge when you are in workplace so that there would really be no possible problems that might occur.
Those who supervise these workers are people in higher positions, and indeed, they are tasked with assessing the performance of their workers. And every office may have a surveillance camera so that whatever the workers do will be seen on that camera. When there is an inspection from the head office, and they ask to see the surveillance camera footage in every room, they will see what the employees are doing. Of course, this raises their suspicions, and there may be a thorough inspection of employees so that this will endanger all workers, including employees who often gamble secretly or who gamble during their work.

That's why we don't need to take risks by gambling at work because it will cause problems for us and colleagues who don't know anything. Besides, we are in a workplace where we work at someone's place and get paid. And we should focus on our work and not gamble at work.

It really up's to them, having a little money and using it to gambling would be a complicated thing, Reasons is they want to multiply their money and hoping to win but sometimes it not goes along the way they really wanted. Gamblers should think what will going to happen if they lose the money that they have, It's not about being a negative but you have to think first before you decide. Setting a boundaries and self control is a must. You can't rely gambling as a main source of your income simply because it's not supposed to be treated like that. It can be a passive income and for entertainment purpose only.
Actually, not really, because they can limit their gambling time with that little money. And whatever the result, they can quit gambling, especially if they lose and spend all their money at that time. They should not deposit another amount of money just because they lost. That could trigger another deposit if they lose again. And, yes, he must really be able to control himself and have limits in gambling so that he will not try to recover previous losses. This requires practice to refrain from gambling, especially when we don't have much money, so as not to use gambling to make money. If not, we will only lose the money at the gambling table and lose all the money.
1593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: October 25, 2023, 10:15:01 PM
Recovering losses still needs to be recommended because it can trigger you to deposit more money. After all, your money has been used up for the previous round. You have experienced it, but you are lucky to be able to win even though you have experienced loss before. You can imagine that if you still lose all your money in that gambling game, you won't be able to sleep well because the loss will haunt you.

This is a valuable lesson for you. Never try to recover from a loss or chase a win because it will not be easy. You can experience more losses, which can cause you to be unable to accept it and want to deposit another amount of money to recover the losses.
1594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? on: October 25, 2023, 10:08:41 PM
I don't need to keep records of my wins and losses because I can find them easily on the casino sites I use to gamble. So I don't need to do it or make records offline. This can make me trigger the desire to recover the losses I previously incurred. Instead of enjoying gambling as entertainment, I can go back to trying to recover the losses I experienced, which means the possibility of me losing will be even greater. And I don't want that to happen, especially since I'm trying to reduce the losses I previously lost.

If a person can treat gambling as entertainment, he will not gamble excessively, but instead, he can gamble responsibly. He will treat gambling as a type of entertainment so that his focus will not be on gambling alone because he knows there are many other activities that he can use to get entertainment. He can go to the cinema and watch the film he wants or do other things that are also interesting. He will not use gambling to make money, and therefore, he just has fun by gambling and to fill his free time. When a person can be a responsible gambler, he will not gamble excessively and knows when to stop gambling.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.
This will lead to suspension and getting fired from the job not to mention losing your opportunity to get a promotion, you will also have a bad reputation on your work and you be on the watch list of the supervisors and bosses.

Gambling while at work is the easiest way to lose one's job, it is just as bad as being incompetent in the office, this is like stealing your work time and the management don't want thief in their rank and files.
If we are suspended and end up being fired, we will suffer a loss because we will lose the job that can provide us with a salary. But because we have violated the rules at the office, we cannot defend ourselves because we gambled during working hours. Some offices will notify other offices about workers who have poor performance and bad reputations so that fired workers cannot apply for jobs at any office. This will make things difficult for us when we want to look for other jobs.

But if someone cannot differentiate between working time and gambling time, there is a possibility that they have a gambling addiction. He didn't seem to care where he was or what he was doing because he just wanted to fulfill his desire to gamble. We have to be careful about this and don't let us experience this because this will have an impact on our personal lives later.
1597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much do you Value your Privacy in Gambling? on: October 25, 2023, 04:56:51 PM
By not gambling at all, this is the only way to protect your privacy in gambling, because for the safety of gamblers we need to use a regulated casino for our good, you aren't safe either if you start using any casino that promised you that no form of verification will be carried out.

Trust me, such casinos are capable of doing anything they like because asking for KYC is an act of legal operation, nothing makes sense than a casino having the appropriate license, before you make deposit on any casinos you must be certain that they follow the regulations or else your money isn't safe either, not even your information is protected.

If you crave for privacy when gambling, use crypto for your bets and use a well regulated casino, if you don't like KYC do not gamble, find something else to do, but if you don't care about your privacy and information, you can use any casino you see, including those that don't need your KYC.
Not gambling online, not shopping online, and not doing anything online may protect them in terms of privacy because they don't need to verify their accounts so they can feel safe because they don't submit any documents to second or third parties. That's why we need to look for a casino that suits us, and it's not easy because we have to check them one by one and not rely on advice from other people. After all, what someone else uses may be different from what we want.

Casinos can do whatever they like, and this is where we have to check in more detail so that we know that the casino will not cause problems for its members. Trusted casinos will not have any problems because it is related to their reputation. Instead, they will explain everything to their customers who need help understanding more about the rules of their casino. They can use crypto to gamble, but we have to remember that casinos can ask us to do KYC anytime they want, so we have to make sure that we can get a casino that suits us.

Just because you and your partner have the same perspective on gambling, doesn't mean your relationship wouldn't be affected. Same with you, I have seen so many cases of gambling addiction which caused having a broken family, and some of the factors that lead to separation Included the loss of trust, emotional disconnection, and the presence of abuse. It is crucial to address gambling-related issues to protect and preserve relationships, encourage responsible gambling, and ensure that individuals affected by gambling addiction receive the help and support they need.
Having similar views about gambling might provide support for the gambling they do. But it will still influence your partner when you experience defeat. A person with a strong temperament may not be able to accept his defeat and will continue gambling, so if his partner advises him to stop gambling, that person will not accept it and prefer to continue gambling. Experiencing a case of gambling addiction can cause many problems for the gambling addict or his family, and if it spreads to his family, it will be difficult to resolve it. Most cases of gambling addiction will end in divorce, and if they are truly divorced, it is their children who will bear the moral burden.

I came to discovered that those that cash out and save the money always experience joy in the gambling center because, they don't allow anything to move them again at the moment than to be the one telling other gamblers what to do to achieve the same victory.
It is a normal thing to act properly by cashing out after a mysterious win, but because of greed, some will always think about having more attempts for higher win, this is what lead them to loosing their entire money without knowing, there's this particular insatisfaction in us that we may not know it's affecting our life, not until we made a huge mistake like in this case and have to regret taking such decision instead of cashing out and leave, same thing applies to those that are loosing and continue gambling with the mindset of having a recovery at the course, untill they realized they are way too far on loss.
Greed is what we must be able to avoid when we win, especially big wins. We don't need to follow what other people do because, after all, we are responsible for the money we win and don't lose it by using it to gamble again. Indeed, it is normal for us to use the money to gamble for several rounds. Still, we must remember that when we decide to continue gambling, we must be prepared for all the consequences, and if we lose, we can accept it well, and there will be no disappointment, which is excessive. We are the ones who choose to decide to continue gambling, so we are the ones who have to be able to bear it if we lose. Don't blame the casino for taking our winnings because the casino doesn't tell us to continue gambling, but we are greedy and want to get another win.

Professional intervention isn't really cheap. You will hardly find a low cost therapy nowadays because as you mentioned, it really comes with a price for every session. It isn't a one time payment thing because the severity of the addiction from one person to another varies as well. With this, there are different treatments and approaches to be done for them to recover and regain their lives, and it will really cost money especially for the facilities, utilities, and the professional fee itself.

This is why it's important to prevent addiction as long as it can still be prevented because it has a lot of repercussions in the long run if it weren't treated immediately. You will be lucky if you have a good public health service in your area that could provide a low cost or even free rehabilitation and treatment of addiction.
If the treatment costs a lot of money, the people who help the gambling addict need to look for alternative treatments that can help cure the gambling addict so they can start healing therapy. Maybe these people can look for information elsewhere or perhaps they can contact a gambling addiction consultation agency so they can be directed where to go. People often experience difficulties regarding costs, and this is why there needs to be assistance from the government to be able to provide rehabilitation places for gambling, alcohol, and drug addicts.

This is to reduce costs incurred by the victim's family and can also immediately help gambling addicts or others to get treatment. The government needs to provide support to these gambling addicts and other addicts because they deserve a second chance and to be able to start a new life.
