If you are a successful businessman or a boss, maybe you have a lot of time to pay attention to your children and supervise them all the time because you can just stay at home watching them and let your subordinates trust you to manage your business, but if you are a worker it will obviously be difficult. because it will take up your time while working, but no matter how hard you watch them it won't help you more, you might also neglect your business or work

The point is, just entrust it to someone who looks after them or your wife because they might understand them better and be able to supervise them full time, whereas you are a man who has to work and do business outside the home to support them so it won't be possible to always be at home, the point is to give a message to your nanny and wife about the dangers of gambling and keep them away from there.
At least we have a partner who can help supervise and pay attention to our children so they don't do bad things. This requires cooperation with our partners so that each can do their job well because it is all for our children. And every parent is willing to do the best for their children.

But if they already have a gambling addiction, getting them out of there may take more work. And even though we don't know how long we can help the healing process, we must continue to accompany him so that he knows we are always with him. We as parents, might be able to ask him to do something to divert his attention so he can focus on other things.
1682  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: October 11, 2023, 04:14:17 PM
234 from 20 cents is a lot
imagine if it was 2 dollars, it would give you more than 2 thousand bucks

but I'm a bit more curious on how many times you played with 20 cents to get this win
once? or many?
if many can you share a bit more on the story, like, you spent 20 dollars (100x the 20 cents bet) or more to get this win?

I'm not really into slots, but after seeing some rare big wins shared on this forum and in the casino chat sections, I decided to give it a try. When I was betting $0.10 per spin, I usually only got back around $0.02 to $0.05, which is less than half of what I bet. Occasionally, I did win double my $0.10, but then I got greedy and kept spinning in the hope of recovering my losses, which eventually wiped out my funds.

A few days later, I thought maybe it was just an unlucky day, so I tried playing slots again. Unfortunately, I ended up depleting my account twice, just like that first day. I repeated this process about four times and ended up empty-handed. I really can't figure out how to win at slots. I was playing a game called Olympus God or something like that.
These tips helped me so I shared here.
Playing slots requires luck, so it is normal if you only get a small return compared to the amount of money you use to play slots. I also often experience this in slot games, and that is the price I have to pay to enjoy the slot game. Perhaps other days, I can be luckier, and there are times when I can win more than $10-$15, but that rarely happens to me.

But in any case, I enjoy my gambling activities well, regardless of the results. But @Betwrong was very lucky to get his big win, which rarely happens to most gamblers.

That is the result of greed and your friend is greedy because he wants more wins. If he had stopped in time, he would not have lost all his money and now he could still enjoy his winnings. But it has happened and your friend should realize his mistake and not repeat it again.

If that happens to you, you should be able to stop and leave the casino. That is the best advice you can do so that you don't lose your winnings and can enjoy it with your friends or family. Greed will only give you defeat, especially when you are gambling, so you have to really understand it.
1684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 11, 2023, 03:13:29 PM
I don't really know where to place my gambling habit in this question because, one, I don't gamble if I don't have money, and two, I gamble most times to try luck if I can win more money, so I don't think I have a direct answer to the question as I can use any to justify my gambling habit.
 
There are people who gamble so well not because they don't have enough money to sponsor whatever lifestyle they want to live, but because they gamble as a result of having enough and looking for places to spend a few of that money on others for them to have fun while spending the money. Sometimes I fall into that category, not because I have more than enough, but sometimes because I have a little left over in my spending budget, I can just use that to try my luck in gambling to see if I can win more.
 
People can gamble either to make more money or to spend money; it all depends on who the gambler is, but in most cases, gamblers tend to try more luck because they want to win an amount they believe can help aid their financial life a little bit further.
It's good if you don't gamble if you don't have money. That means you can control yourself well and not try to borrow money from other people to gamble. And if you can win more money, your luck may be different from other people. But being able to control yourself well means you don't have a problem with gambling. You can gamble whenever you want, especially if you already have money.

As long as your goal in gambling is just to have fun, you will not be influenced by the desire to win. And if you want to see your luck that day, you can just spend your time gambling. And if you win, you can also stop to enjoy the winnings. But you must know that trying to see luck can turn into chasing victory if you can win in a row. And if that happens, you should be able to stop before things get bad.

Most gamblers who don't have money will try to gamble to make money. But they don't realize that by doing that, they have the potential to lose their money. And if that happens, they won't be able to do anything and can only regret it.
1685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: October 11, 2023, 02:45:50 PM
Even though we know that house always wins, people still wanted to challenge that thought.  So gamblers will keep on trying to beat the house every time they wagered on any gambling games.  Sadly most people are carried away with the thought of beating the house and end up spending more and more money and having access to credit card make it worse.

So there are some governments that implement restrictions on the use of credit cards in order to save their citizen from having huge debt.
That's because they see that several people have succeeded in winning at gambling, so they also want to feel that victory by playing longer and using more money. But the reality is that they cannot win from home because they are just players and not the owners of the casino. And this is done by credit card owners who use their credit cards to gamble. But they don't realize that credit card users use company money to gamble, and then at the end of the month, they have to pay their credit card bill. And the credit card bill will depend on how much money you use. With the government's ban, there is a step to save its citizens from unwise use of credit cards.
1686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Changed the game you gamble on? share your story. on: October 11, 2023, 02:17:34 PM
I think all games have their good and bad days, so some people sometimes keep playing even though they know that they won't win that day, or feel they are too unlucky to bet at that time.
What you have to do is be patient or try another day, but that's difficult for those who are used to having to play without ever thinking about the target.
In gambling, you don't know good days or bad days because it all depends on your luck and your analysis. If you are in a good mood when you analyze, you can analyze it well and find a team or player with a chance of winning and vice versa.

But we indeed have to be patient and try another day to win. But most importantly, we can enjoy our gambling activities to have fun in our free time. Don't think about winning, but try to enjoy your time gambling. And if you are lucky, you can win without thinking about it.

We are on the bitcointalk forum, and many casinos are crypto based, so we place bets in bitcoin. We also have other options for placing bets in altcoins, but many use bitcoin. Whether you're lucky or not, it depends on each person, but for me, maybe I can still break even. And I can still enjoy my time playing gambling, whatever the results I will receive after I finish gambling. If you bet on sports betting, it requires analytical skills, so you don't need luck. But if you play luck-based gambling games, you really need that luck.

Yes, just as you say, for me things when it comes to how to enter a casino and be a VIP is Not something that is so Easy , but you have to do many things , first of all play, play and have fun, yes we In a casino we seek to win and win , it will go badly for us, because we cannot chase profits all the time, we have to accept that Sometimes in a casino we Lose , and the fact of losing does not mean that things are done wrong, but that have to be Considered because it is money that has to be invested, and if we want to be VIP, then things can be quite difficult, when doing different things in a casino it can be determined that a person has to be clear about what they are doing. does.

If a person seeks to be a VI P, that is not bad, they are good things, good things are rewarded over time, but if a Person loses control just for being a VIP , then in my Opinion it is very Bad.

That is as similar as when a man likes a woman, if that woman makes you do things that go against what you like or that you know will harm you, it is simply not advisable to do it, because first the What they are for you as a ´person are given without further ado, not at once, but if in the time that God has planned, sometimes we want to speed things up because they go wrong and nothing can be done, it has to be done. things under natural schemes, because otherwise it is very likely that it will not turn out well, and let's remember, this thing about casinos has to do with money, and by always pursuing VIP Status you are not going to Enjoy much of the pain that it takes to do so. , the bar loads up the more activity there is, the more bets, the more money, the faster, and the idea is not to become decapitalized, the idea is to enjoy the truck so that many things can be taken into Consideration , First to enjoy, second to win something of money and then the legal Status Alone.
That's why if we only focus on gambling, without realizing it, our account will increase in percentage so that over time, our account will reach VIP level, and that is an achievement that we don't realize so that we can finally get the bonus we want. But in playing gambling, we also have to realize that we need to have limits so that we don't use a lot of money at once, but we use it for several days, weeks or even months until we can reach the VIP level. But we also know the risks of continuing to gamble because gambling will not give us easy wins, and we have to manage our gambling so it doesn't disrupt our finances.

It's not bad to be a VIP, but we must realize that reaching the VIP level requires a lot of money, so we don't need to chase it in a short time. Let us reach that VIP level normally without rushing so we can enjoy our gambling time.

We can only enjoy every moment in the casino, so we don't feel we are chasing VIP levels. Limiting the money and time we use can also prevent us from experiencing losses so that reaching the VIP level will not burden us. Reaching the VIP level for some people may be something to be proud of because it is difficult to reach that VIP level. But we don't chase it but just enjoy our gambling time so we don't feel burdened in reaching the VIP level.

When we talk about difficulties, this is not the end of everything and what we need to do is fight harder and more extra. Fight against all the impossibilities that exist if other people say that you will not be able to get through all this to be able to have full control over yourself in gambling, then don't pay attention to what other people say to you and just do your best, stay focused on the main goal you are gaining control over yourself.
We are fighting against all the impossibilities that other people say is a process to prove that we are truly capable of doing it so that later we will experience it by being able to fully control ourselves. As a result, we will enjoy it and not other people, so we can silence the words of people who say we can't do it. They won't believe we can finally do it so they will salute us. We have to stay focused on living it and not give up before we achieve the main goal we want to achieve. And if we can master it well, we won't have any more problems with the previous one because we can handle it well.

First, let me say that it takes someone who is sick to first and foremost, realize and accept that he or she is sick, before he or she can proceed to visiting the hospital for possible tests and medication based on what the doctor found out through the test, to be the ailment the patient is suffering from.

What am i saying in essence?, A gambling addict who have refused to accept that he or she is addicted, helping such person can most of the time be just you wasting your time, because addiction have everything to do with the mind, and if the gamblers mind have not come in agreement with you that he or she is addicted and truly needs help, trust me when i tell you that, trying to force help on such individual is a waste of time.

Better to leave such a person to go on with whatever he or she is doing, hoping that one day, the person will indeed realize that he or she needs help, this is when your help can indeed yield good result in the gamblers life.
Realizing that he is sick is the most important thing so that he can complain about it to a hospital or rehabilitation centre so that a psychologist can help him find the right solution to cure him. Otherwise, he will not be able to get a solution from a psychologist or even from other members of his family.

This requires concern from his family members to make him aware that he has a gambling addiction and must immediately get professional help. Otherwise, his gambling addiction will get worse and will disrupt his life. It will indeed be very difficult to make him aware, but this depends on his family members so that a gambling addict can be aware and willing to follow their advice to cure himself who is addicted to gambling.

Yes, leaving it alone might be possible,, but if there are family members who still care, he might still take a different approach than he has done because, he is still part of the family.

~snip~
I agree with the fact that it depends on the people who wants to help the addicted gambler cure his addiction, firstly coming with a judgmental approach make the gambler less responsive to solutions, when you judge him and exact all blame on him for been the reason everything happened to him/her, the gambler becomes less Open and will conceal most information that's need to help for fear of been judged and blamed again.

Approaches matters a lot as this will determine to a good extent how responsive the gambler who needs help will be responding to solutions offered them. They have to be treated with care and a good level of confidentiality especially for one who has hidden their gambling habit for a very long while, if they don't sense confidentiality they will open up less, but if the security of their information is sure they will speak up more.

Gamble addiction is not a plague and has solutions so we should learn to treat people who suffers this addiction with love, care and hope to get better after. I think professional help dose the job better because they know how best to offer solutions that will be tailored to various levels of addiction and how well to fix it fast enough.
Perhaps people who want to help gamblers who are addicted to gambling should take various approaches that might be successful in making the gambling addict aware. Most gambling addicts who close themselves off from other people will not open up to other people easily, so this requires a different approach than what has been done. And of course, it will also take longer because those who help will try many different approaches.

This approach will help gambling addicts open themselves up to talk more so that people who want to help them can start to sit down and listen to the real problem. After that, they can discuss what the gambling addict can do to start healing. And of course, gambling addicts would prefer it if their gambling confidentiality could be maintained properly while healing.

Yes, gambling addiction has a solution, and that is why people who want to help must be able to help and support gambling addicts to cure their gambling addiction. And if necessary, they can go to a professional to ask for treatment and find a more suitable method for their gambling addict.

It depends really on the preferences of a person. Some person might be comfortable with many people knowing their gambling habits, however some might find a hard time sharing it with others. And no matter what reason they might have, it's all valid. Perhaps some people have a negative experience about others knowing it such as others invading their privacy or prying too much on their personal lives to the point they feel like suffocating because others have so much opinion for them or controls how they should act. So I totally get it if some prefer to keep being low key and have only few people know about their gambling habits.
For reasons that each person has, they will continue with their choice because it makes them comfortable. The important thing is that each person who gambles will know what to do and see the reaction of the people around him and his environment. If they see it is better to hide their gambling activities, they will do so and vice versa. But whatever they choose, we should not blame them because we don't know the situation and conditions in their environment and what they are facing.
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning Wisely: Strategies to Protect Your Bankroll on: October 11, 2023, 12:14:35 PM
I only know one thing for a gambler to play wisely: when he wins between $30 and $50, maybe it's a warning to stop; don't try to continue, because what frequently happens to those who continue even after winning is that they finally lose. Numerous gamblers have experienced this numerous times.
There times I stop  from continually gambling for the day immediately I make my first win irrespective of the amount won I'll just stop never try to continue with another bet and adjoin my gambling to the next day and each periods I do so it aids me in prolonging the time frame for my bankroll before it could get exhausted. Sometimes gamblers should be wise to discontinue with gambling for the day if they just got a win either at their first bet or made a win after been subjected to a few losses. The wisdom there is that you don't go home with an exhausted pocket or a completely emptied account. You still have a sum left to start with the next day.
It's good if you can stop after getting your first win. That can remind us to realize that we won't be able to win too often. We must be able to stop after winning whatever the amount. And if they continue gambling, they may lose again, which could be a big loss that will cost them all their money. Moreover, we know that gambling will not give us easy wins, so we must be aware of it. It's a good idea not to go home empty-handed because when we've managed to win some money, we've managed to get it, and it's time for us to go home.

Permit me to please disagree with you, as long as online gambling casino is concerned, there is none without any form of problem or problems, for me, I believe that our peace of mind in dealing with casinos is majorly in our hands, whether it involves a big or small casino, its all the same, if a gambler want peace of mind, he or she should just do well to keep and obey the rules and regulations of the casino, or terms of service, whatso ever it is called.

And by the way, its important for us to always remember that the casinos we refer to as big today were once a small and unknown casino as well, so should not really underrate casinos that are small and unpopular today because by tomorrow, such casinos may become big and popular as well.
Well, you are right because as long as we are in the online world, problems will come to us. But at least if we can choose a trusted casino, we can avoid this problem and gamble calmly and without any burden. But we must still comply with the casino rules and regulations because we have used the casino's services, so it is only natural that we comply with the rules.

The casinos we know today have become big, and when the casinos were not yet well-known and popular, they could provide satisfactory service to all their members. That is what can make today's famous and popular casinos survive and gain their reputation. So it all depends on how the casino can serve its members.

And why would the parents skip supervising their children? That is basically reckless parenting, and children who are taught something and aren't supervised after that, might get curious and try it but if parents make sure that they stay away from that thing, they will obviously keep an eye on their activities after that. I would never just leave my children to do whatever they want, especially if I teach them about something severe like gambling.

I'm personally not a fan of teaching children about such things if they are not old enough, let them stay away from it if they don't know about it already because once you mention it, they will have it in their minds. Let them grow up and once they ask you about it, then you can tell them the pros and cons of it.
If you look at the parenting patterns of parents today, they tend to give their children what they want instead of giving them what they need. Their parents are too busy with their work, so they cannot always supervise their children well and hand over supervision of their children to their caregivers. Caregivers who are not parents teach what they know but don't know whether it is suitable for the children or will have other impacts. But if parents can supervise their children well, their children will not do things that could harm their lives.

I am also like you. I still try to supervise my children even though I know I need to learn a lot to supervise and pay attention to my children. But at least I try to be close to them and always be there when they need me. And yes, let them grow up and enjoy their lives well.

That is the problem of society and most people opinion in this topic. They support hiding gambling, because it relies to something negative. Gambling = negative = bad. Imho that is a false vision and it is really hard to fix that or convince people in opposite. Also, I see no reason to adopt to others in this case. Kind of a herd effect, when person dont have his own opinion.

With gambling and gambling addiction there are to many IF. There are no reports, scientific facts or proves that a person gamble, that he turns into addicted with 100% probability. That is why I find it stupid to hide my hobby or habit, because someone read or saw somewhere article about addiction and made conclusion that I am also gonna turn into one one day and ruin my and my family's life.
Perhaps they feel uncomfortable with other people's opinions in their environment, so they continue to hide their gambling activities so that there will be problems with these people. Each person chooses to hide or even show it to their environment, whichever makes them feel comfortable telling the truth to others.

Perhaps we would say that is a wrong vision, but not for them because they certainly have their own considerations. We just need to know it because that's what they want. Yes, you are right that there are IFs, which would be a reason people hide or show them to others. Whether you become addicted or can still control your gambling activities will depend on each person because we gamble using our money, and we should be able to be responsible with ourselves and our money.

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?
That doesn't make any sense at all. We don't need to respond to their requests, especially since they want to gamble with our money. It's different if they borrow money from us to open a business. Perhaps that can still be considered.

Because the only place this makes a bit sense is the skills base niche like forex trading or crypto trading, how can gambling/gambler be financed?
Maybe. But I don't want to finance my friend. Even though he said he was very good at gambling, I still wouldn't pay for it.

Have you heard of such before? What is the end result if you have?
I've never heard of it before. Does it really exist?

Why would you trust anyone to gamble better than you can when it's all about luck?
I don't trust someone who gambles better than me, even though I see it firsthand when gambling and being able to win.

Is anyone doing this on here?
I do not know. Maybe someone does.

Someone explained this to me, and I believe he is already a victim because to me it doesn't make sense, I believe he is been used because he lacks knowledge about gambling, do you think my judgment is wrong?
Your judgment is not wrong. Maybe he has become a victim.
1697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 10, 2023, 04:52:31 PM
It seems that what you said corresponds to reality. Giving up gambling is very difficult, unless we are bankrupt and have no more money to deposit. I stopped gambling for about 3 or 4 months (didn't gamble at all) but after getting extra income from this forum, I started gambling again. The difference is, now I limit myself and limit the money I can use to gamble

Actually there is nothing wrong with gambling, as long as gambling does not make us lose a lot of money and have a lot of debt. One way I control my money for gambling is by withdrawing money from my bank account and leaving a small amount of money in the account. So when I want to gamble I need to deposit money into an ATM, and often I am too lazy to do that, so I cancel my gambling desires.
Quitting gambling is very difficult. But if we realize that while gambling, we don't get many wins and only lose, it seems like we really have to stop gambling or reduce our gambling activities. Gambling is not wrong, but you have to have clear boundaries so you don't gamble too much. Many people lose self-control while gambling, so they lose a lot of money and end up completely bankrupt.

What you did was good. You can control yourself while gambling and regulate how much to gamble. Not many can do it because people tend to deposit some more money when they lose. They still want to gamble and recover previous losses and want to win.

It is difficult to make a career out of gambling because gambling is not a job you are used to. You can get a salary weekly or monthly at work, but in gambling, you cannot get money as often as you want. That's what makes it difficult to make money from gambling.

There may be people who can make money from gambling, but there will not be as many people who fail. And it will require a lot of things and considerations before someone decides to use gambling as a job. He must see the risks he will accept if he decides to use gambling as a job.

I don't keep track of my wins and losses. But I always allocate the same amount of money every week or month, depending on how much I have. Perhaps those who record their wins and losses think that it is good because they can check how much money they use and how much their wins and losses are to know what they should do. The note also reminds them to always have limits in gambling so that they do not gamble excessively and can even start reducing their gambling activities. So the benefits of having a note depend on each person because if they have a note, it means there is a goal they want to achieve or the note can remind them that gambling is for entertainment only.

That open communication can speed up the process, even how tough it is but if both sides are willing to work hand in hand that addiction can be eliminated in a much quicker time frame, I see that there are addicted gamblers who are always denying that problem making it hard for someone to give the help that they needed.

If they can just let it go and try to do other things that may divert their attentions, other activities can lead them away from any gambling related practices.
Creating open communication will require awareness from the gambling addict to want to open himself up and accept the presence of other people who will help him cure his gambling addiction. But if a gambling addict denies and doesn't want to admit that he has a gambling addiction, it certainly won't work and he will still have difficulty curing his gambling addiction. His denial may prevent other people from knowing what a gambling addict should do and how to help him.

But it will depend on the people who want to help him because if they still care about the gambling addict, they will try various ways to divert his attention to gambling. Maybe they won't do it openly because it can keep gambling addicts away. But they will use other approaches to make the gambling addict aware that he has other things he can do.
