161  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your favorite to lose slot game on: May 08, 2024, 08:00:51 PM
This time let’s discuss about your favorite to play slot games that gives you losses often times but you keep coming back for more because you are expecting to win big someday after feeding the slot too many bets.

I keep playing Feel the beat slot game of hacksaw gaming because I’m always attracted on the sound effects but I never win anything on this game both bonus and manual slot. This is the only slot game that I play that doesn’t pay more than x200. This shit never good to me but I keep coming like a dawg whenever I saw this game on my suggestion list.

Share your experience. Tell us what’s the slot game feature that attracts you to keep playing.

I do love slot games and have fun at all times, but it seems that the house owns it and for us players I don't think easy is by lucky random results.
That their game plan already, whether you like it or not the machine was set for loss already, and thus jackpot wins is their random picks when their reaching the highest profit.
My recommendation for slot machine, let's minimize every activity it wouldn't be good since losing streak is always possible.

Slots are a type of gambling that purely relies on luck, which means you will only be able to win when you are lucky, while luck can never be known when it will come, which means it is really recommended to only use this type of slot game as an activity to fill your life. When you are bored, you are looking for entertainment with some of the sensations and excitement that you get from each game, because after all, it is too risky to be serious, let alone hope of winning, in this type of game. On the other hand, I don't know whether the casino has arranged everything behind the scenes which tends to make gamblers experience losses more than they win, but from what I have experienced it seems to be true because I find it really very difficult to win at all. this type of gambling, but in the end, wherever you gamble and whatever type of gambling, it is always recommended not to put your seriousness and hope in winning because in the end such an approach will only result in more disappointment.

gambling has become open to the extent that when you fail to hold your children tight they will think that the gambling is the best option, in normal circumstances any child that is not up to 18 years is not supposed to participate in gambling and that is another reason that we encourage people not to discuss anything that have to do with the gambling whenever they are around home because their children we think that it is the best thing so far to do is don't participate in gambling so gambling is meant for adult not for children so any child that is up to 18 years and above is eligible to participate in gambling
With current technological developments, of course it will make it easier for anyone to access gambling sites. As parents who fail to supervise their children, this will be very unfortunate because those who gamble before they are more than 18 years old will of course find it very difficult to control themselves and will has a bad impact on their lives, of course it would be better not to talk about gambling in front of our children so that they don't get curious about it and try it themselves.

Right, and I think it's a fact that most people especially young people prefer to spend most of their time on the internet which means that online casinos have a high possibility of reaching more people especially young people to get involved and gamble in them. There are so many things that we can find on the internet regardless of whether it is something positive or negative that we might include gambling in one of the negative activities here.

Of course this is something that should be a concern for most parents, because of course there is a big possibility that their children can reach gambling very easily which in addition most online casinos are now doing a lot of promotion or advertising on several social media with the aim of reaching more people, And I agree with your opinion that it is unlikely for someone who is still underage to be able to control themselves when they are involved in gambling, they are still unstable and their mindset is still undirected and also unable to make careful considerations, and one of the ways that I might suggest to minimize this possibility is by limiting them in terms of using smartphones to limit the reach of the internet.
163  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long to learn trading? on: May 08, 2024, 07:10:27 PM

I think above one year is an effective time that can give you enough understanding and knowledge about the world of trading especially to understand theoretically, but it is not enough because anyway as long as the market is still moving then you still have to continue to learn to adapt to the market and get to know more about the nature of the market which can take a long time because you need several experiments to make sure that the market has such properties especially at certain times.

In my opinion, the most difficult thing is to identify the nature of the market which usually means that I often make mistakes in applying strategies, or I mean it is difficult to apply strategy A in a market that is A which mostly I am fooled because of several factors such as hesitation to make a trading position because of a sense of concern that is difficult to ignore completely, which means as you said above that we need quite a lot of time to practice with the aim of getting used to and adapting to the circumstances and nature of the market. Some professional traders or those who are already successful in the trading field usually already know and understand most of the traits that the market has so that they can apply strategies in the right situations and conditions that are likely to turn decisions into profits.
Actually there would really be no fixed schedule or moment or time that would really be telling you that you have alredy learned everything in trading. You would really be finding yourself to be making money and tell
that you are really that doing fine and there would be no fixed time for that because we know that each person is really that different when it comes to learning things on which there are ones who do fast on learning and there are ones who are slow. 1 year is something that realistic but there are individuals who had made it on 6 months or bit more shorter but of course shorter time means that experience isnt really that much in compared into those people who had been here on this market for a while on which it would really be something better that you would really be needing up to realize on.

The important thing on here is on how to make yourself that sustaining on the time that you've been doing trading and never ever make yourself that in a rush up because if you do
then this is where mistakes do really happen and this is something that we should be stopping on doing so.

Right, that's also what I mean by my idea above that as long as the market is moving then there will always be changes that occur and as long as changes continue to occur then it means that there is no set time limit to be able to confirm that we have reached the peak of learning about the world of trading, and in addition yes as you said that everyone has different abilities in terms of learning ability, some are easy in terms of digesting a lesson and some are difficult to understand everything they have to learn which means for the problem of speed in terms of learning it depends on how the person's learning ability.

The conclusion of everything is that in my opinion as long as you want to benefit in the world of trading then there is no time limit for learning, or what it means is that you must continue to learn various things, especially regarding market habits that usually change every time, but it is a fact that no matter how much experience and knowledge you have, the possibility of loss will always exist, but with you having good risk management management, the possibility of risk can be minimized.
164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: May 08, 2024, 06:32:02 PM

In my opinion casinos are an industry that takes advantage of the stupidity of people with the aim of benefiting their business, or it can also be said that casinos take advantage of losers who want to get a lot of money instantly without wanting to work, and it is clear that casinos will not care how bad the impact you experience when you are wrong in treating gambling activities, the point is that the goal of casinos is to get a lot of profit without thinking about how the fate of the judges, but I think it's natural because in general we should already understand and know about how the concept of betting which always leads to two possibilities at the end of the session, namely between winning or losing. So with this we should be able to think that treating gambling in an excessive way will only lead us to many disasters because there is no certainty and any guarantee of being able to produce a win. And I will say that casinos will not see who you are or whether you are rich or poor, the point is that if you engage in gambling with the wrong approach then you will become the target of casinos to be the next victim that will make you suffer a lot of adversity.

I really agree with your opinion. In fact, casinos are places where people who are not aware of the bad risks involved, they only see that casinos can make a lot of money and are easy to get, but the reality is that casinos are smart in organizing and creating tricks that tempt gamblers to stay. got into his trap.
And for gamblers who are not able to control themselves well about the casino itself, the gambler will soon experience bad luck and will lose a lot of money and the casino will gain profits with the tricks of temptation that have entered the minds of all gamblers.

True, the problem is that most people are too focused on the idea of winning opportunities that exist in gambling, I understand that we live always need money to buy various basic needs but try to at least use your common sense and rational mindset before finally making a decision, because only you yourself will eventually face all the consequences and others will never care about anything you experience.

As I said earlier that most of the gamblers are those losers who want a lot of money but do not want to work and instead depend on winning in gambling, on the other hand I am not saying that you will never win but what is certain and what must be remembered is that gambling has absolutely no element of consistency in terms of producing wins, all of that will only happen by "chance" and this is why it makes no sense to make gambling a place to make a living, the saying goes that your mouth is your harima and your mindset is something that will determine your fate.
165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: May 08, 2024, 05:27:30 PM
Money management is very important and if you know that your salary is not enough to handle the activity of home then you should not use any amount for gambling because gambling does not give you surety that you will 100% win. If you are willing to gamble just for fun then don't gamble for the whole month and don't use a larger sum because it can lead to serious problems which may alter into addiction.

Gambling with the amount you can afford to lose is very important for a gambler and that's when money management comes in play. There are some people that gamble a lot but will not spend more than what ever amount they have budget. They will make sure they handle every need they have at home before spending big amount in gambling. Gambling everyday is not just good for some people, mostly those that can easily loss self control.

If we are talking about gambling then yes of course it is clear that putting a budget that does not exceed the limit is an approach that is always recommended, this approach is always recommended because however in some cases that occur usually someone will be very easy to be dominated and controlled by their own emotions when they put an amount of money that they cannot afford to be responsible for when it turns out to lose. In my opinion there are three things that are very important to be prepared and owned by most gamblers, first is to have the management of limits on the amount of budget at stake, second put limits on the time of involvement and third limit expectations on winning, all of this will be able to keep you or anyone awake and avoid the bad possibilities that exist in gambling such as addiction or experiencing a significant amount of loss. And another thing is the fact that gambling every day is like opening the door to many disasters.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: May 08, 2024, 05:01:32 PM
I have never seen a statistic that says the poor win lesser to the rate at which the rich gamblers are making winnings, we don't even have a data to differentiate the numbers of the poor gambling to that of the rich gamblers, all we know is that people are gambling and are winning as well as loosing, and this is not because of their Finacial status or background, everyone has equal right and ability to either fall under the same category with other gamblers for loosing or winning.

You are spot on.

The amount of money that someone bets has nothing to do with the probabilities of winning.

It's just a "multiplier".

Basically the odds are set to a specific number, with advantage to the casino, and then the gambler put the money there. It doesn't matter how much, the odds are the same.

Exactly, no matter how much money you gamble it is a fact to say as you have said above that it does not affect the outcome at the end of the gambling session, or what it means is that gambling is still gambling where every gambler will always have two possibilities at the end of the session which is between winning or losing and winning does not depend on how much money you bet but only depends on how lucky you are at the time of running the session.

This means that the possibility of losing is always a certainty, you can win big with a big stake but it is also very likely that you will lose and lose that big stake. And this is why it is always advisable to only put small amounts into gambling because after all there is absolutely nothing that can guarantee that you will win at the end of the session except luck, but it is a fact that luck can never be known when it comes.

167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: May 08, 2024, 04:35:19 PM

Yes that is always the first disease that gamblers have which in the end the idea will only trap themselves in many problems especially losing balance in their finances. I think it is a fact that gambling can never be used as a place to earn because there is absolutely no element of consistency in terms of winning, we must understand that winning always depends on luck while luck will only happen occasionally and by "chance" which means that out of 10 sessions you might only be able to get 3 - 5 wins and that also rarely happens.

I wonder why many individuals would still see something that has a very high risk rate as a medium for earning a living they fail to understand that it’s not good to place your fate on something that luck plays a big role in and there's a possibility that you could only win once or twice out of 10 trials that's why it's advised that gambling should be seen as a means of entertainment and not a platform to make money.

  I think most people who see gambling as their final hope are those that's been living in poverty and out of frustration would be looking for any means to be financially balanced and that's why they'll barely give listening ears to advice since they've set their mind on it already. But then they're making the wrong choice cause it could help them become increase their poverty rate. The fact that not everyone wins a jackpot should be an eye opener to them.

Yes, it is true that this is what makes it difficult for me to think and find reasons why they still think of making gambling a place to earn or a place to earn income, none other than because after all in common sense and a rational mindset the idea can never work because after all as I said that gambling is always at risk where winning will only happen when you are lucky which means that if you are unlucky then obviously you will lose and lose the amount of money that is bet.

On the other hand in my opinion this is the beginning of a gambler ending up addicted and experiencing a lot of problems and all of that happens because they gamble but are not armed with the right understanding of how gambling really is, and as you said above and I agree with it that it is too dangerous an idea to seek income in a place that only relies on luck and yes this is the reason why a gambler is always advised to see gambling as a means of entertainment without putting any seriousness and hope.

Another thing is that I quite agree with you that most likely treating gambling in the wrong way will be done by people who are having financial problems such as those who are poor which is a fact that there are usually some people who go to any means just to get money because they are under pressure in their financial problems such as those who are desperate to steal or rob and maybe it is also no different from trying to make gambling a place to earn, even though it is wrong but when someone is dominated by desperation then the idea is very possible for them to do.
168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: May 08, 2024, 04:15:30 PM

The step we need to take is to stop no matter how much we want to win big. We still can't be greedy. Sometimes being greedy can result in bad luck in the end because you lose everything, know that winning big is very difficult to get. So we have to accept whatever wins we get without we need to chase more, as well as losses, we must not chase losses too much, we must be able to control our thoughts so that we don't get too involved in gambling and we must know when to stop gambling and rest, the more you experience big losses, the more restless your mind will be. So before the losses get bigger, it's better to stop immediately and take a break.
Not chasing losses or winnings requires a great deal of discipline and self control else, it'll be almost impossible for a gambler to be able to manage his emotions, because the reason for loss and wins chasing is often emotional outburst, which usually kicks in automatically after a very huge win or loss, or numerous number of losses.
So to be able to avoid falling into such a trap, one must learn how to be in total control of his emotions.

There is actually one thing that can prevent everything that can harm a gambler, which is to have a correct and precise understanding of how gambling actually is, because I think it is a fact that when someone understands and understands that gambling is not only about winning opportunities but also has the potential for losing risks, it is less likely for him to make impulsive decisions such as chasing winnings to restore something that has been lost before and also they will definitely prioritize everything that leads to preventive measures. such as putting limits on the amount of budget and putting limits on the time of involvement, all of which will always be considered and prioritized because they are worried that if they are too excessive then they will eventually lose a lot of money and end up falling into a trap, For example, putting a limit on the amount of budget and putting a limit on the time of involvement, all of that will always be considered and prioritized because they are worried that if they are too excessive then they will eventually lose a lot of money and end up falling into the addiction phase. So the bottom line is that if you want it to be easier to do some of the things that lead to preventive measures such as self-control then you will be able to have that ability if you fully understand what gambling is all about.
169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: May 08, 2024, 03:54:55 PM
Basically it's true as you said above that this is life where there are always people who don't really like us and they may always find fault with us, but as I said above because we are talking about the context of gambling then I don't think everyone will really blaspheme you, There is a possibility that some of them care about your safety because after all gambling always has the possibility of bad effects that can occur at any time, so I think there is nothing wrong with filtering the ideas they throw at you by identifying their criticism, if for example the criticism contains concern then I think there is nothing wrong with being reconsidered.

You are right, bro. Nothing is really wrong with filtering some criticism thrown at someone (a gambler). Some people criticize out of the care that they have for their friends or relatives who are taking their gambling lifestyles to the edge, but on the contrary, some people just hate gambling, and they therefore hate anybody who gambles. So, what I actually means is that, the fact that someone doesn't like gambling should not make him or her talk ill of others what love gambling and are participating in gambling activities. 

You know that there are some people who just believe that gambling is very bad because it makes people lose money, so their belief is that anyone who gambles is not responsible for wasting their money. 

Yes because after all there are always some people who care about us and all the criticism they throw is nothing but for our own good, although I understand that everyone is free in terms of determining whatever they want to do but in the end as I said above that yes of course it doesn't hurt to filter out some of the criticism that comes in, which is simply that if for example the criticism does not at all contain concern for yourself then yes ignore it but if for example the opposite then there is nothing wrong with considering.

On the other hand, I also agree with your opinion that we should not demonize someone who likes to gamble, simply put as long as their habits do not harm us at all then let it go, don't let them think that you are someone who likes to interfere with other people's affairs which might cause problems between you and people who like to gamble, but on the other hand there is nothing wrong with also giving input to those gamblers such as not being too excessive or any ideas that contain precautions for safety.
170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much of my salary should I use to gamble on: May 08, 2024, 03:34:27 PM
Gambling is becoming a popular thing in my locality almost everyone gamble and even colleagues gamble and engage in gambling related discussions at work,  so gambling is legal and very popular so there is no Shame in using part of a salary to gamble with that is why I am asking the question of what the right percentage from my salary that I should use to gamble?
I don't think there will be a generally accepted answer to this question because people's salaries are not the same and so also their needs and responsibilities. These are the factor that determine how much can be injected into gambling without feeling depressed when it is lost. Some people can put 20% of their income and still be good whereas there are people that will put 5% and will be worried. Whatever be the case, I think a 2.5% of income injected will not make anyone broke. It is small but huge for sizeable for gambling provided the gambling will be diligent to build it systematically to something magnificent.

Yups it's true to say that everyone has a different income in life, but no matter how big your income or how small your income is still the point is that it is advisable to put a small amount or a small percentage to be injected into gambling. If we talk about income then maybe we can see how the difference between the income of the rich and the poor where the difference must be quite significant but still if we talk about how much money should be allocated to gambling then of course it is recommended to put an amount that we can afford or an amount that will not make you feel upset or depressed if in the end you lose, in my opinion 20% is too large a percentage to inject in gambling, and usually the largest amount I bet is between 5% - 7% of my total monthly income and this allocation does not cause any problems at all to my finances.

But on the other hand I think we also have to manage other things because managing the amount of money you want to allocate is certainly not useful if you can't manage the time to gamble, or what that means is you also have to manage your gambling time, because it's useless even if you put a small amount but you gamble too often then it can still cause problems in your finances.
171  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long to learn trading? on: May 07, 2024, 05:35:06 PM
Actually, it was the other year before they really understood the trading here in the cryptocurrency business field. Trading is a great deal, and there is no shortcut here, honestly speaking. From my own experience, it took me 3 years to fully understand it.

And like everyone else, until now I have never stopped studying this trading because I still don't fully understand it, but I just understand it a little. And that's what an individual trader needs to do.

That's right, learning to trade is a constant process that requires study and adaptation to market conditions. In addition to having theoretical basic knowledge, it is important to be able to apply this knowledge in each individual situation. I think a few years should be enough to understand trading, and I'm talking about a few years of practice, not just studying theory. There are many different strategies, and it's up to you to try them out and see what works best for you.

I think above one year is an effective time that can give you enough understanding and knowledge about the world of trading especially to understand theoretically, but it is not enough because anyway as long as the market is still moving then you still have to continue to learn to adapt to the market and get to know more about the nature of the market which can take a long time because you need several experiments to make sure that the market has such properties especially at certain times.

In my opinion, the most difficult thing is to identify the nature of the market which usually means that I often make mistakes in applying strategies, or I mean it is difficult to apply strategy A in a market that is A which mostly I am fooled because of several factors such as hesitation to make a trading position because of a sense of concern that is difficult to ignore completely, which means as you said above that we need quite a lot of time to practice with the aim of getting used to and adapting to the circumstances and nature of the market. Some professional traders or those who are already successful in the trading field usually already know and understand most of the traits that the market has so that they can apply strategies in the right situations and conditions that are likely to turn decisions into profits.
172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: May 07, 2024, 05:10:34 PM

That's true! Casino owners are after with the profits that they might gain to whoever or whatever types of a gambler you are as long as they can benefits from  how you play the game, though the risk if a rich gamblers do understand the situation and a wise type of a gambler as he can simply quit once he already achieved  his goals and leave the house with a very decent wins, but then again, just go back to the original setup, gambling house is built to earn so they will find that way, the best way to attract and let both rich and poor gamblers to wager huge amount of money for the chance to bank that amount and become their profits.

That's absolutely right and the conclusion is that the host is only aiming for profit, the host doesn't care about the fate that will be received by rich gamblers or poor gamblers, whether good luck or bad luck has been borne by the gamblers. So the host only works on how to attract the sympathy of rich gamblers and poor gamblers to continue gambling continuously without stopping.
Therefore, we as gamblers should be fully aware of the correct understanding of gambling so that we are not easily caught in the trap of temptation from the house. Even though this is very difficult to do, at least we know and reduce gambling activities so that it doesn't have a very bad impact on our lives.

In my opinion casinos are an industry that takes advantage of the stupidity of people with the aim of benefiting their business, or it can also be said that casinos take advantage of losers who want to get a lot of money instantly without wanting to work, and it is clear that casinos will not care how bad the impact you experience when you are wrong in treating gambling activities, the point is that the goal of casinos is to get a lot of profit without thinking about how the fate of the judges, but I think it's natural because in general we should already understand and know about how the concept of betting which always leads to two possibilities at the end of the session, namely between winning or losing. So with this we should be able to think that treating gambling in an excessive way will only lead us to many disasters because there is no certainty and any guarantee of being able to produce a win. And I will say that casinos will not see who you are or whether you are rich or poor, the point is that if you engage in gambling with the wrong approach then you will become the target of casinos to be the next victim that will make you suffer a lot of adversity.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: May 07, 2024, 04:51:03 PM
By using gambling as an activity to entertain ourselves and with limitation, we will enjoy playing gambling moderation and will not trying to chase the win. We will remember that playing gambling is just for fun and when our spare time is almost end, we can stops playing gambling easily without gets the effect of the outcomes because we realizes that playing gambling can gives losses so we don't use too much money to playing gambling. We only wants to use our spare time to playing gambling without having an intention to chase the wins. But if we wins, we will stops playing gambling immediately and will not keeps playing gambling because that can makes us gets lose that money. So we really limits our gambling activity and will always remember that gambling is just part of entertainment.
In my opinion, only some people can gamble as entertainment and there are even those who have admitted that they will consider gambling as a place to entertain themselves. There are still those who violate it because they cannot limit themselves and have experienced addiction, but if indeed someone can gamble like what you mentioned is of course they will not spend a lot of the money they have on gambling and will also not experience an addiction to gambling and of course they will be able to have fun with gambling.

Yes that's right, I've been thinking about this for a long time and also suspect many gamblers who say that they come with the intention and purpose for entertainment or just to fill their spare time, but the part that doesn't make sense is that they experience significant adverse effects such as losing a lot of money to the point that they have to sell some of their valuables in order to survive, which means that there are some gamblers who lie where they say that their intention and purpose is only to find entertainment but the facts say that they spend most of the property they have.

On the other hand it is a fact that most people make gambling a place to make a lot of money, it happens because it is quite difficult to really monitor and keep our mindset from falling into many temptations especially when they see something that looks like tempting and usually someone will have high hopes of winning when they manage to win a number of big wins at the beginning of their involvement, so if for example you want to know about what exactly their purpose is to come to gambling is by seeing what impact they experience. On the other hand, I believe that there are always some gamblers who have the right understanding of how gambling actually makes them cautious, but it is a fact that there are only a few gamblers like that.
174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: May 07, 2024, 04:29:01 PM
In my own concept the rich and the poor have different gambling aim.The rich people gamble for fun which gives them the chance of winning while the poor people gamble to make profit but due to their financial status it deprives them from winning,is not like the poor don't win a game at times they win out of luck but in this scenario the rich win more often than the poor due to their sufficient bankroll to make more trials.A rich man/woman always feel comfortable when gambling.A rich person always have sufficient bankroll to gamble while a poor person has limited bankroll to gamble.
Bookies giving rich people a chance to win? Huh What does it mean that poor status and low finances prevent them from winning? What you said above is in my opinion very wrong. In gambling there is no difference between rich or poor to win. This depends on how each rich or poor individual processes the game, the opportunity to win will always be there for rich or poor.

I will help to answer some of the questions you raised above, using a healthy mindset and rational point of view gambling never sees and judges about who you are or how rich you are in real life, however it is quite simple to explain that if you have money regardless of the amount then you can gamble or engage in gambling. On the other hand, we must understand that casinos provide opportunities to everyone involved, no matter rich or poor, all of them have the opportunity to win and the possibility of losing but maybe the difference is in terms of the amount.

This means that rich people can win bigger and poor people can also win with large amounts and this victory applies to rich or poor people if they are very lucky at that time. So that means that being poor in no way affects or prevents you from winning large amounts for example, and the point is that everyone has the same chances of winning and the possibility of losing regardless of whether they are rich or poor, but for the problem of the amount of defeat may depend on how they treat their gambling activities, because if they treat gambling in an aggressive way then obviously the possibility of losing must be quite large.
175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will you do if you find yourself in a similar situation like this? on: May 07, 2024, 04:06:28 PM
Parents will not trust him again because there is not a matter of just losing money but their son is involved in gambling and one cannot easily trust a gambler in future. Gambler will show you that he has changed his whole lifestyle and now he will not gamble but again he will break your trust by doing something worse just to get money for gambling.

Keeping a check on today's generation has become so difficult because they are experts in doing bad activities without letting it know to their parents. So we should not allow our children to be in contact with bad friends and don't allow them such a huge amount of money because money makes the teenager a part of gambling and other bad activities.
Yes, trust is like a piece of paper that you hold in your hand, the paper doesn't return to the way it was before. It seems that it must be difficult to forgive the child. The reason is that the money his parents worked hard for all this time was used uselessly and in vain. It's true what you say, it's the development of the times that makes it very easy for today's young generation to access anything on their cellphones, the method you mentioned above, by not interacting with bad friends or not giving pocket money to the child, this could be effective in preventing children from gambling again and has a deterrent effect on children.

On the other hand yes maybe it is an act that is difficult for his parents to forgive when his son uses the money from his father's hard work to gamble and in the end loses the money because of defeat, but on the other hand I think in the end his parents will certainly forgive his son's actions because however and no matter how bad a child's behavior is he is their child, and also another thing is enough to be a question for me that there is a possibility that when it turns out that his son wins then maybe his parents will smile Cheesy

But forget about that, let's go back to the original context that after all this is a disgraceful behavior committed by his son and I hope his parents can tell and teach him that his actions are very wrong. On the other hand yes it is true and I agree with you that nowadays the times are very modern especially the digital world where we can find everything just by opening the internet, there are many positive and negative things in it and it is not uncommon for some people to fall into the wrong path such as getting involved in online gambling thinking that they will be able to get a lot of money there which is clear that it is the wrong mindset if it is brought to gambling, honestly I don't know about the effective way to get children to stop gambling, but certainly reducing their pocket money and also limiting them in terms of using smart phones might work.

I think all of the problem points start from having excessive expectations on gambling, which when someone has expectations on winning then as you said above that they will definitely continue to chase victory with a certain goal, whether it's to become rich or restore something that has been lost before, and also with you having excessive expectations on winning then usually you will always think positively or mean having high confidence at the beginning of the session that you will be able to win at the end of the session, and this is the wrong mindset because however the possibility of losing will always be a part that can never be separated.

This is the reason why gamblers are always advised to limit their expectations of winning, as it is clear that this mindset will only bring you closer to more regrets especially when you are away from luck.
Some people see gambling as a means to make a fortune for their future, such people will never stop chasing their losses because of this mindset of theirs. Even if you tell them not to chase their losses, they will not listen to you because they have ready made up their minds and willnot just let go of all their losses.

How wish those gamblers can understand that gambling is give and take, the casino gives you the entertainment and you pay for it, that is why you should only gamblw with the amount that you can afford to use for paying for the game that you enjoyed. I guess that if a lot of gamblers know that they will lose more than they will profit from gambling, they will not gamble.

Yes that is always the first disease that gamblers have which in the end the idea will only trap themselves in many problems especially losing balance in their finances. I think it is a fact that gambling can never be used as a place to earn because there is absolutely no element of consistency in terms of winning, we must understand that winning always depends on luck while luck will only happen occasionally and by "chance" which means that out of 10 sessions you might only be able to get 3 - 5 wins and that also rarely happens.

On the other hand what you said is true that even though we have told them about the dangers of having intentions and goals to earn in gambling in the end for them it is nothing more than a passing wind, or something that they will not hear at all, I don't know the exact reason but what is certain is that they already have such a high level of belief and hope in winning that it makes it difficult for them to be able to think clearly and rationally. And yes, it's true that seeing gambling as a paying game is a pretty good mindset that can keep you from getting serious about winning.

Neglecting the need to take responsibility helps a gambler to face problem gambling. Trying to beat the house is a wasted effort and could lead the player towards more losses. Most players seem it normal to behave this way because of how lowly informed about gambling they are and nothing ever stops them from going after their lost money. It's a wrong move to always chase the losses.


The majority of those gamblers that act in such a manner are well informed about gambling; the problem they have is ignorance, and there's a saying that "ignorance is a disease." For some people that I know to have such character, they are people who wholeheartedly see gambling as an occupation, and they don't even have any serious job that they are doing to earn a living apart from depending on gambling every day as their source of income. Which is what makes me think that people with such a gambling lifestyle are mostly those who rely on gambling for survival. 

Yes this is the main problem that most gamblers have where they treat gambling seriously but not based on a true understanding of how gambling really is, and as you said the saying goes that something done without knowledge is a disease, on the other hand I realize that someone has to try it first to be able to have knowledge of something they experience, But that is something else that is out of the context of gambling, because the name gambling is clear that there is absolutely nothing to learn when you lose, because after all, the name of victory always depends on luck, so when you lose it doesn't mean you made a mistake but you are away from luck.

Most gamblers like this are those who come with the intention and purpose of earning which I might say that they are losers who usually only want to win but are not ready to face losing situations, they try to make an activity as a job that will provide income, that's not wrong but the mistake is that they put their dedication in a place that does not make sense to make a place to earn, because in the end it is clear that instead of earning but they suffer a lot of losses.

I think it's not about the development of the country we live in, but about the fact that in any country there are people who are ready to spend their time not on something useful, but on discussing other people. Such people are mostly losers, so there is no sense in following their recommendations or living the way they imagine it. Life is given once and you should live it the way you want to live it, not the way others want you to live it.

Exactly. I like the conclusion of your statement because that's an honest fact. We only have life and should live it to our satisfaction, not based on what other people gossip about in our name and expect us to be the way they want, and perhaps it's only jobless people who end up discussing other things when it's not their business. 

But realistically, that's how life is. People must always talk about something they don't like about you, but what matters is what you think about your lifestyle. Gambling is not a bad activity, and as long as one is gambling responsibly, I don't think it should be a problem for anyone. 

Yes but sometimes there are people who are easily influenced by whatever is said by others that makes them feel uncomfortable or disturbed so they might try to do something that is suggested by others even though it is not in accordance with their wishes, But I think on the other hand there is nothing wrong with filtering some of the criticism that is thrown by others because logically not everyone really says something that aims to criticize you, it cannot be denied that out of 10 people who comment there may be 3 or more people who care enough about you to try to tell you to do something that is for your own good.

Basically it's true as you said above that this is life where there are always people who don't really like us and they may always find fault with us, but as I said above because we are talking about the context of gambling then I don't think everyone will really blaspheme you, There is a possibility that some of them care about your safety because after all gambling always has the possibility of bad effects that can occur at any time, so I think there is nothing wrong with filtering the ideas they throw at you by identifying their criticism, if for example the criticism contains concern then I think there is nothing wrong with being reconsidered.

This is a regular concept that is owned by those gamblers who come with the right understanding, or those who understand that the possibility of risk will continue to lurk and can befall them when they choose to continue the session to get a bigger win, so with this right understanding it will be easier for them to make wise decisions that lead to prevention by preferring to stop and cash out so as not to end up with regret due to losing everything they have earned if they continue the session.

But yes as we know that the fact is that only a few gamblers have such an approach and understanding in gambling, and it has been proven that most of them actually act more aggressively when they manage to win which instead of stopping to secure the victory but they continue to continue with higher hopes and confidence to get a bigger amount which in the end as you said that they experience a losing streak that eliminates all the amounts they have initially obtained, and this is why it is always recommended to first have a correct and proper understanding of how gambling really is, because otherwise you will always end the session with regret.
I think when gamblers get a satisfying win they will decide to stop and enjoy their winnings.
If what happens is that the game continues, I assume that the victory obtained is not satisfactory. Maybe it's related to the capital that has been used and it wouldn't be very profitable if you stopped.

I guess it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Gamblers must know when they should stop or continue the game. even though in reality more gamblers choose to play until the end. which means that many gamblers play without parameters or limits.

Yes, there is a possibility that they will stop when they reach a satisfactory victory, but remember that there is the word "satisfactory" which involves a desire that is sometimes unreasonable and too difficult to reach, while in gambling the possibility of defeat can never be avoided completely which is certainly on the way to pursuing satisfactory results there will be many defeats or losses. Maybe we have often heard about a gambler should put a lot of restrictions on his gambling activities such as in terms of money and time, and I would say that another restriction that should not be forgotten is "limiting your expectations" of winning which can minimize your sense of satisfaction that can make it easier for you to decide to stop when you get a win regardless of the amount.

On the other hand, the point is to know when to start and when to stop, and this can only be done when you see that gambling is not only about the chances of winning but there are other aspects that cannot be separated such as the possibility of losing which makes it easier for you to make the decision to "stop" when you realize that the possibility of losing can happen at any time.

180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much of my salary should I use to gamble on: May 07, 2024, 01:57:56 PM
... why I am asking the question of what the right percentage from my salary that I should use to gamble?
There is no fixed percentage that is appropriate for gambling, and the percentage appropriate will differ from person to person. I personally think that before a percentage is allocated for use in gambling a salary earner has to make sure that a salary has been split into other more necessary and important uses in their budget and then whatever is left of after settling all those responsibility can then be allocated to gambling.

So whatever percentage is left after proper budgeting has been done is what is appropriate for gambling.

This is just like we compare between rich gamblers and poor gamblers where these two people have differences in terms of financial strength in life, but if we talk about gambling then it is clear as you say that the percentage amount of each person will be different - different on gambling because they have different income in life, but still in the end the percentage that should be allocated to gambling is the amount that does not exceed its capabilities, or in the sense of only putting the amount that you can afford to lose.

Gambling is just a probability activity which means it is nothing more than a game of chance and obviously that means gambling should not be a priority in life because there are other things that are much more important than managing money for gambling, which is as you said to first solve all your life needs, such as allocating money to buy raw materials for food or other needs and after that if there is money left over that is not too used then you can allocate it to gambling. The point is that we cannot tell them to put a certain amount of money, because as we discussed above that everyone's income is different, meaning that what is recommended is to put a small amount that you can be responsible for if you lose in the end and not interfere with other things in your life.
