161  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: July 21, 2024, 06:14:47 AM
Those that dream on becoming a professional gambler do not really understand how difficult it really is, because even if we assume someone develops a way to get an edge over the casinos, we must remember that luck is still involved, so they are still at risk of losing all their money if they are not careful, and if that was not bad enough already, casinos could ban you or you could not earn anything for months, and if you have a family to support maintaining that lifestyle will become almost impossible, as you will be forced to get a regular job to feed your family.
People wants to achieve anything from gambling and makes them still trying no matter if they already lose much money. But they must realizes that will not easy to wins or achieve anything from gambling because gambling is not a place to make money. If we keeps trying with hard, that will only gives more problem to us because we will not realizes that if our money will be gone fast.

We will face a big problem such as addicted to gambling and if we still trying to achieve what we wants, we will only gets deeper in gambling and we will not see a way out from gambling. We will forgets that gambling is just for fun and not for achieve anything because playing gambling is part of many activities so we should know how to treats gambling properly. If we don't wants to lose much money, we will trying to control ourselves by always limiting the money we use to playing gambling.
162  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there a legal jurisdiction backing up gamblers against the casino oppression? on: July 21, 2024, 05:18:10 AM
In reality, many former employees of illegal online casinos have been caught and become key witnesses to dismantle illegal online casinos.
But the police only moved and closed the office, not daring to continue too far, even though it was already known who the big dealer or the person behind the illegal online casino was.

There is a large enough money involvement to eliminate this kind of case so that the casino will not be in the spotlight and remain safe.
There are many corrupt police officers who still accept bribes not to continue the investigation.
Maybe the police feels that they don't have a strong people or officials behinds them so they are difficult to continue the investigation even if they know the big dealer or person behind that illegal online casino. It happens in many countries when the illegal business have someone that have power to control many things. That will makes regulator difficult to search for more information.

When the money is the motives, that will not easy because they can bribe many people to shut their mouth and will not tell anything about their illegal business. That will not makes authority finish the investigation as they will face a big problem because of many corrupt police officers or even officials that will prevents the investigation. We see that many cases can't solved because of that matters.

Gambling was never intended for you to make money but rather this was created for the sake of fun and entertainment and this is where people do mess up their lives just because they've been expecting on something
like making money and this is why they do lose control on the time or moment that they would be playing gambling. People do really lost their control on the time or moment that they will really be having that kind of approach on which its really very wrong. This is why gambling business is really that profitable due to this very common behavior of most gamblers, they are hoping for money making or simply with profits on which on the moment that they would be losing then this is the moment that they would really be that become desperate on which we know that this is something not really recommended on doing so.

On the moment that you do play just for the sake of fun and not wanting money or winnings which actually not that true because on the moment that people would be doing gambling
then of course we do have that kind of projection that we wanting on making money and this is something that we should really be baring up into our minds.
On the moment that you do find yourself having that good control then gambling wont really be able to mess up your life on.
Gambling is just for fun but some people who gets their luck can wins much money and hit the jackpot. But other people can't chase the wins because they don't have the same luck so they must aware that gambling can eat their money. People will only mess up their life if they can't control their gambling activities because they will lose much money without having a big chance to wins the money.

Those people will still curious with the winning and will trying to playing gambling more often than before. If they can't control themselves, they will only gets tempts every time they playing gambling because they will thinks that their chance to wins is on the way but the truth is they still difficult to wins. That's why if you wants to playing gambling, you must have good control so you will not mess up your life by getting lose much money. If they wins the money, they must not tempting to chase more winning instead just enjoy their money by withdrawing the money and use it for their life.
164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How has a significant win in gambling changed your life? on: July 21, 2024, 03:21:39 AM
The winner will want to win more and the loser will want to get back the money they lost . Indeed , controlling greed and emotions in gambling is not easy and I don't see many people who will be able to do it .

I believe that most of us gamblers have a plan to withdraw money after winning big and leave a little to continue playing, this is quite a common plan . But one thing I see is that when people lose the remaining money, they tend to deposit more money to continue playing, so if we cannot control our greed, withdrawing money will not have much effect . So let's focus on controlling our emotions and controlling our greed instead of thinking that withdrawing money is a good plan, IMO.
That's normal if they wants to do like that because their greediness will comes and telling them to keeps playing gambling without thinks that they already gets what they wants. They must remember that winning in gambling is difficult and not many people will gets their luck and wins much  money. They must realizes that is their chance to change their life to better with that wins money so they can have another source of income.

If they can't control themselves and tend to keeps playing gambling, they will see that they don't have a big chance to wins more money because that will depends on their luck. That's why if we wins much money or hit the jackpot, we must quit gambling immediately and not thinks to keeps playing gambling and chase more winning. We can use that money for many things and even we can build a new business that can generates more money to us.

It's exciting to play, knowing that you can win but that's not the case if you experience losses and unable to accept it. That is where the problem starts if you can't cope up and just going with the flowing by chasing your losses and exceeding on what supposed to be your only set budget for gambling. It can affect our health (mentally and physically) thus it's really crucial to have discipline and know what you're getting into. Be aware of what to expect and the consequence if ever you use your money in gambling because usually the outcome is not what you expected it to be.
When you playing gambling, you must be ready with anything will happens even if you lose your money so you will only use the money you can afford to lose so you will not too regrets when you lose. Many people will not ready with their lose and that makes them to try to recover their lose without thinks that can makes their lose becomes big. They will trying to chasing their losses but that will not guarantee them can gets their money.

If you exceeding your limits money, that will only gives you more losses and you will be sad. The effect from gambling can happens after they finish their gambling activities and will see that their money is gone because of exceeding their limits. We must trying to prevents the bad effect that can happens to them by always limiting themselves in gambling.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What makes a gambler becomes addicted? Lose/winning? on: July 20, 2024, 01:25:17 PM
It varies from person to person. I have seen both cases: when a person is winning, he becomes addicted, and when a person is also losing, he also becomes addicted. But in the long run, the winning isn’t constant. You have to face losses only; hence, in these cases, as the gambler has tasted victory and winnings, the addition develops more to gamble and convert the loss into a win. Generally, gambling addiction is seen in rich people, and they gamble to defeat their egos and hence get into addiction. Addiction is really bad, and each person has different reasons to get addicted.
Both situation can make people becomes addicted to gambling so we must be careful and not lets us gets the same thing as them. We must feels enough to playing gambling after some time and must quit gambling before it's too late to realizes. Gambling addiction can comes anytime in any people especially if they can't control themselves when playing gambling. They will lost their money and secondly, they can becomes addicted to gambling.

That will not be realizes by them as they only see the fun things from gambling and they follows their emotion to keeps playing gambling without stop for a while. Gambling addiction can be seen in poor people because they still have a hope to wins the games and back to their home with a lot of money. That's a dream for many people who playing gambling but unfortunately, not many of them can gets their wins.
167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you understand entertainment? on: July 20, 2024, 12:32:10 PM
If that is the way you view it then no one can really say anything about it, however gambling is considered part of the entertainment industry and the majority of people will agree that it is a form of entertainment, after all when you go see a movie you need to pay for the tickets, food, drinks and the gasoline to get there, which is a significant expense, so just because the money that you can spend while gambling is variable, it does not change the fact that you are spending that money to get some fun out of it.
Gambling is parts of entertainment so we don't have to uses gambling as a way to make money because we will not have a big chance to make money from gambling. If we know that gambling is an entertainment, we should uses it to have fun. We also know when we must stops playing gambling especially if we already use some money to gambling. We will not push ourselves to keeps playing gambling because that can makes us lose more money.

Playing gambling is like other activities that we do in our daily life but playing gambling doesn't needs to do too often to avoids the big lose. Besides that, we must avoids the gambling addiction that can happens to us especially if we use gambling too often with much money. If we can treat gambling properly like an entertainment, we will not have a problem and can still enjoy playing gambling as an entertainment.
168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how often do you rely on prediction sites on: July 20, 2024, 11:25:15 AM
I have heard words like: No one will or wants to invite you to become rich, get involved in a brilliant idea to make money apart from your own family, whoever other than your family invites you, i'm sure they only want to take advantage of you.

It sounds too utopian, but that's the fact, if i had all the secrets in sports betting, i wouldn't even want to talk about them with my closest friends, let alone have to talk about them with strangers.
That means, they needs to search for the ways  on how they can becomes rich and if they can finds that ways, they must use it for their benefits. We can use predictions from the site but we don't have to believe 100% on them as we don't knows who they are and they only serve the prediction on the match. They can lose for their prediction but they can wins if they are lucky. After all, we don't knows how they can determine which team that will win in the next match.

That's why we must learn the analysis by ourselves so we will have a chance to improve our skills to analyze the match. When we can improve our skills, we don't have to rely on that prediction site although we can gets their info for ourselves. We should be careful if we gets the prediction from other because we never know who they are. If we analyze by ourselves, that means we practicing what we learn so that can effects to our skills to be better.

Losing control is inevitable no matter how responsible you have sworn to become, sometimes you can loose control of your emotions and gamble more than you planned for initially and regret it at a later time, sometimes you are enraged at the rapidity of your losses that you get angry and want to get back some part of your money by chasing it some more, these emotional Higgy haggy can be avoided when you are more prepared for such occurrences even before you embark on the gambling session, when I want to gamble online, I fund my account with my budget in mind and don't fund twice while when I gamble in an offline casino in my area, I only step out with enough cash for the session and don't carry my card along to curtail my excesses.
We may experienced losing control when playing gambling and makes us losing the money at the same time. We don't know how we lose that control but that just happens like that and we don't realizes about that. That will makes us sad and regret because we can't manage our control in gambling and cause us losing the money. We have that experienced so we must make sure that we will not experience anymore by alwas limiting ourselves when playing gambling.

We know the effect of playing gambling can makes we don't have money anymore and that can effect to our health because our tension can high and at that time we can lose our control and use all of the money we have. That's why we must always learn to control ourselves so we will not lose self control in gambling while we can enjoy our time to playing gambling.
170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Being hesitant could make or break you. on: July 20, 2024, 09:19:57 AM
What's the best way to overcome the problems of uncertainty and hesitation when determining an amount to wager?
Well, if a gambler is uncertain about a particular match, he shouldn't gamble at all... In my opinion gambling is an activity which must be executed with determination and confidence. And in order to do so, the gambler has to put at stake money he can afford to lose. Probably the fact the gambler can't lose the money he is betting gives us a clue on why he is hesitant about the bet. He is likely to be too concerned about the money he is risking.

To calm down, and think rationally about the bet he is willing to place is also advised for those who can't find peace of mind on this matter. You don't have necessarily to immediately place a bet as soon as you see the opportunity. Let the idea mature first. Meanwhile, you will have time to analyze all the potential consequences implied on your decision.
The important thing is a gambler must only use the money he can afford to lose to playing gambling so he doesn't have to feels hesitation and uncertainty in gambling. With the money he can afford to lose, he realizes that he can only use that money without deposits more money if he lose all of that money because that can makes his losses increases. He can risks that money he can afford to lose but not for the other money he have so he must be careful spending his money in playing gambling. 

Before he playing gambling, he must ensure his minds is calm and not thinks about how to wins the games because that can affect to his minds to keeps playing gambling even if he already lost the money. He comes to the casino to enjoy his time to playing gambling and not to thinks seriously about how to wins. When he can do that, he can playing gambling with fun and not thinks too much or seriously about gambling because he know that gambling is just part of his activities.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How has a significant win in gambling changed your life? on: July 20, 2024, 08:20:41 AM
Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.  Wink
I usually spend small winnings to get back into betting at the casino. As for bigger wins, I rarely get them, maybe we could call them the biggest wins for every gambler, which of course is different. I will withdraw and spend it. it can run out or leave little to continue the game.
I don't think there's anything wrong with returning to play after winning. even with the winning results that we have obtained. in fact, we will also return to betting regardless of whether we make a withdrawal for our enjoyment or not.
That will not be a proble if you use only small amount from the winning to get back in playing gambling but you must be careful because if you lose, there will be an intention to keeps playing gambling without stops. That can makes you use all of your money to wins more money and that's happens to many people out there. They are forgets to control themselves when playing gambling and not realizes that when they wins, that will be the best time to quit gambling.

There's nothing wrong to keeps playing gambling after winning but we must have good self control to holds ourselves to playing gambling excessively. There will be a tend to chase the big wins especially if our greediness increase and we can't stop from playing gambling. We must prevents to chase the big wins especially if we already wins before so we just needs to enjoy the wins money.
172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can solitaire be a game of chance? on: July 20, 2024, 07:26:45 AM
Solitaire is one of games of chance but if that is on the PC, that will only a games especially we play that games without using money. Some people having fun playing solitaire or freecell in their computer and not care with the time because my uncle always play those games. The level of the games is only for difficulty to playing the games and if you can't use high difficulty, you can use the lowest level so you have your chance to wins.

Spending our time to playing Solitaire is fun and makes curious how to finish the game. If he clever to search for how to wins, he can wins but if not, he will not wins. I missed that games since sometimes I played on those games and spend my time on that games.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens on: July 20, 2024, 06:37:15 AM
I agree with both of you: new technology emerges, and the way things grow this time around, the children are now the ones who teach their parents how to make use of new technology, operate computer systems, and even access online casinos.
 
Like the other day when I was with my dad and he was busy going through old news papers and compelling some books that have past match records that he was using to make his next pool game prediction, I had to show him how to use his smart phone to check through live scores and even past match events for any game of his choice.
With the growing of the technologies, that should makes parents be careful to guide their children. Parents doesn't know what their children will do if they don't follow or not closer to their children. Parents can communicate and discuss many things to their children but unfortunately, not many parents can do that so many children have their wrong way to socialize.

What you did with your father shows to us that parents needs to adapt with the current situation so they can use the technology properly. They must learn that so they can teach their children for a good things and not use it for a bad things. But parents doesn't have to show their gambling activity to their children especially if parents know that can lead their children to curious for more and will search for themselves.
174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not only about winning and losing, but about psychological control on: July 20, 2024, 05:40:29 AM
This is always being said and known to the most of us. But even so, gambling is also a means for the others who have been full time gamblers as a way to make money for them. So, the majority is doing it as a way to have fun and that's always the tip that we hear and used to say. How many are probably listening to that when they're not full time gamblers? I don't know, one don't have to be a full time gambler for them to treat it as a way to make money but as you've said, do it in moderation and doing it for fun won't hurt your emotions whenever you're losing.
But they will difficult to make money from gambling so they should know that they don't have to do like that instead search for other ways to make money. They will have more chances to make money from other ways and generate stable income from their job and they can still playing gambling from their salary. That will be good for them as they can still have fun from gambling while they can earn money from their salary.

Someone don't have to be a full time gambler but they need to control themselves when playing gambling so they will not gets a big lose. When they lose, they can feels their emotions high and that can attract them doing some stupid things that can cause them lose more money. However, they must realizes that playing gambling needs to have good control to avoids the lose so they can enjoy the gambling games as an entertainment.
175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there a legal jurisdiction backing up gamblers against the casino oppression? on: July 20, 2024, 04:39:13 AM
Yups, that's their goal is not to have a permanent physical office, they will move from one place to another and are unknown, and it is still happening until now.
But some former employees of illegal online gambling have also started to speak up about how the gambling operates and what are the modes, this is a topic that is being hyped in my country right now.
Moving from one place to another to prevents from the problem that can happens so that will makes police in that jurisdiction difficult to track where is their office. Police must make a relation to other police from different country so if something bad happens, they can contact to that police to helps them solve the problem.

If police can asks to the former employees of illegal online gambling, that will helps them to investigate the case. But as they will not know who are the former employees, that will gives another difficulties to the police. That's why it is difficult to track online gambling to investigate the case especially if online gambling operate in different jurisdiction and don't have relation to other countries. Gamblers can't do anything to solve their problem.
176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: July 20, 2024, 03:48:36 AM
I tried to become a gambling professional for a long time, but I didn’t succeed and I gave up the idea. At the beginning of the journey, I think you need to devote yourself to training for at least 1 year on your own and with a coach who will reveal some secrets, and you will have to pay for it. In addition, we must have great perseverance, but not everyone has it. In addition, after the money and time spent, we may not succeed at all and it will just be a lost year, or maybe more. We must remember all these factors, especially those who want to start.

Still, I also decided to play simply and not strain myself.
It is difficult to be a gambling professional because we must use many things before we can be like those gambling professional. Besides that, we must know that we will use much money that we can't imagine how much the money but that will be a lot of money. If you use much time to learn more about gambling and train yourself to become a gambling professional, you can becomes addicted to gambling without you realizes.

That will gives you more problem because you now must solve and cure your gambling addiction. But we can't still becomes a gambling professional because that will not easy and we face a serious problem from gambling which makes us to becomes addicted to gambling. That's a lesson for us not to trying to become a gambling professional because we risks many things to becomes that.
177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: July 20, 2024, 03:06:39 AM
As you've said, we don't want to spend much money on fees. There are times that the bitcoin network is too clogged and we can't afford to pay even for $5 if our transaction and deposit is not that much.

That's why there are the altcoins that we can use if you prefer so. But this is a preference of all of us whichever we're comfortable in using when we gamble.
We face many times that the bitcoin network is busy and overload so that makes us to spends more fees to gets the confirmation from the network. At that time, we should know that we can postpone our deposit and wait until the network can smooth again so we don't have to wait for some time and pay the high fees. Paying more than $5 is pain for small gamblers because they can use that $5 to playing gambling for some rounds.

If they can realizes about that, they don't have to still playing gambling and deposit altcoin because they can take a rest for a while and forget about gambling for some time. They can use their spare time to do other things that can gives them benefits and have a positives effect to their life. They can also avoids the big problem in gambling which is gambling addiction if they are too often to playing gambling.
178  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How has a significant win in gambling changed your life? on: July 19, 2024, 02:58:32 PM
That's a beginner luck for you because you can wins much money and you can use that for new business venture. It's rare for beginners to wins much money as they can lose their money in the first time they playing gambling. The other luck you gets is you can generate some money from that ventures and have passive income which many people wants. That changed your life and not many people can gets that luck so you are one of the lucky person who gets that.

Although you still playing gambling but you can control yourself better so you don't lose much money. You can focus with your business and balance your life which that is difficult for many people. Well, that is a bless for you because you can changed your life better and have a passive income. You must manage that properly so you can have better life for you and family.
179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Addiction is 100% your choice: on: July 19, 2024, 02:07:26 PM
By having that limitation and add some things to do to divert your attention will help you to avoid addiction, like what you said, going to a gym after gaming, either you reach the amount that you allot for your gambling or you already made the amount that you are aiming for your win, as long as you schedule yourself to move forward, chances to become addicted is slim.

Most of those addicted gamblers always over-exceed from the allotted target and they forgot and that's where addiction will start to penetrate them.
Limitation helps you from the bad things that can happens after you playing gambling. With limitation, you will know that playing gambling don't have to be too long and after you gets the fun, you can quit gambling immediately to avoids the will to continue playing gambling. You know that playing gambling too long and too often can makes you become addicted to gambling so you wants to avoids that.

You can make a schedule when you can playing gambling or just playing gambling when you really wants. You don't insist to playing gambling if you don't have much time or can't enjoy playing gambling. Limitation and with other things really helps you from gambling addiction and that is your choice not to become addicted to gambling. You can enjoy gambling as an entertainment.

It is not easy, but it is possible if we dedicate ourselves to doing it seriously. It is just our mind driving us into falling into temptation, but if we don't let it happen from the start, that won't get much worse.

Losing control of our gambling habits is also losing control of our minds. Stress could also lead to such a situation, which is why we should not take gambling seriously and focus, instead just using it as our pastime. If we can limit our time and money spent, it is not difficult to keep our gambling habits controlled.

Generally, the results depend on our way of gambling. If we are responsible, then everything is fine.
As long as you can doing it seriously, you can controls yourself better and will not falls into temptation. You know that the temptation will always be there and attract gamblers to go deeper in gambling but you will not gets tempts because you know how to treat gambling. You will always control yourself in gambling by using many ways to prevents the temptation makes you deeper in gambling because you don't wants to see the bad effects happens to you.

Gambling is just for fun. That's what you always remember and you will not break your rules because that's the only thing that can save you from the gambling addiction and other problem from gambling. Gambling is an entertainment but behind of that have a risks that we must avoids so that's why we must always aware and limiting ourselves in gambling.
