181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens on: May 18, 2024, 08:18:31 PM
Even though gambling education has been around for a long time, unfortunately it has not reduced the percentage of gambling among teenagers and shows that it is not very effective in preventing the rise of gambling among teenagers. It is not easy for us to give advice to the younger generation, especially in this day and age where almost everything is online, so it will be difficult to prevent children from gambling because every time they hold a smartphone, advertisements for gambling sites will appear on their smartphone screen, whether intentionally or not, and this is a strong influence for them to start with gamble.

The educations available still didn't make positive changes in reducing the rate of users or consumers. An activity like gambling  is widely accepted in the society that the educations available wouldn't get half the publicity of gambling. Most times it increases the publicity and the rate people want to try it. Provided they've seen gamblers that have made money in the game. Their trust would be on what they see, not what they hear in classrooms.

You'd notice a high rate of people who pay deaf ears to risk, all for the sake of money. Assuming these people carefully attend classes to genuinely change or stop a gambling habit, a huge impact would have been made in the lives of young people. Learning requires interest. If the students are not deeply interested in a specific class they would learn or practice what is been thought.
182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ? on: May 18, 2024, 04:00:33 PM
How much would a person need in order to retire?
I think the people who could retire from their gambling winnings are those who won the lottery, but even for those people they need to manage their funds well.
There are so many people who once had a great fortune or been a millionaire, but ended up losing it all due to their fund management.
If you couldn't handle your money well even if it is a million you would just lose it.
In my opinion, this really depends on a person's target when they win. If they have won according to the target they have set, they will stop gambling, but this is very difficult for those who are addicted to gambling, but for those who are not addicted. gambling will of course be able to do this and they must be able to manage these funds well as you said, it is very true that if they cannot manage them well, of course they will not be able to win the winnings for long.

It'll be hard to stop gambling after winning big. The whole time will be spent on luxurious life with gambling inclusive. Only a few players will quit after hitting the jackpot. I'm also thinking of where the player will retire to, as the impulse to play once more would come stronger on the gambler shifting his attention from quiting gambling. And make him gamble to earn bigger than he already possess. Determining the exact moment or the type of amount that would be enough to retire a gambler may be hard to know. Because it's almost impossible to retire from gambling.

The emotional impact gambling develops on the gambler makes it hard to forgo or quit. Although gamblers promise themselves to retire after winning a specific amount of money. But when that lucky day arrives, the money that seemed big in the past would then get ordinary in the eyes of the winner. Everyone act as though they wouldn't waste money like a jackpot winner who went broke. Yet it's a natural occurrence and could happen to anybody. The casino is also sure of this, that's why they comfortably hand out those wins, knowing it'll get wagered back to the house.
183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: May 18, 2024, 02:54:22 PM
Both gambles, I see some rich people who still gamble beyond what they should, despite still having a lot of funds leftbif they lose, they feel not too bad or get into a bad financial crisis unlike a poor man who tries to keep his winning streaks because he sees it as part of an opportunity to earn profit. A rich whose balance is worth about $100m and decides to gamble with $100k and eventually lost, that is just a percentage of his money he feels no impact compared to the poor man who sees it as a huge money and might not dare to gamble if he had such money to stake.
Of course, people who gamble are not only poor people, rich people also gamble, it's just economic limitations that make poor people feel more at a disadvantage than rich people who have bigger finances than poor people, so even though rich people gamble even with the amount they think Poor people are quite a large amount, in fact for rich people it is not a big amount of money for them and even losing that money is not a big problem.
Poor people risk their money in the hope of changing their fate but in reality their fate gets worse if they are irresponsible in gambling and risking the finances they have.

Rich gamblers undergo similar troubles with the low income players. Gambling as a high roller have its downside. What will happen to a rich man with the amount you mentioned above chasing losses? The whole money will almost get exhausted in space of few months. Gambling risk to me is a way of gambling for money without observing the basic rules for gambling responsibly. However, to us, the rich player appears to have backup and safer than the low income player in such matters. As the low roller easily runs short of money faster than the rich player. Limitations plays a vital role in gambling, and when a player doesn't abide by the rule of limiting his gambling session he'd get an excessive gambling habit, terrible enough to diminish his wealth with no warning.

It doesn't matter how much the player owns or possesses. In other words, rich players also prefer wagering big, the player can wager the 100k at once, then deposit more. Imagine losing that amount up to a million before the day runs out. Wouldn't it be enough reason for the player to try again, as he can't forget all that amount. And the tricky aspect of gambling for high rollers is that they think a single game would recover all they've lost. So they tend to wager more, increasing their risk of getting compulsive. When that happens, it doesn't matter whether the player wins or not. He'd wager it anyways.
184  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: May 18, 2024, 02:32:06 PM
When viewed in terms of convenience, this online casino is easier to play than a physical casino, because indeed online casinos can be accessed only by using a cellphone and of course now most people spend their daily lives using cellphones and internet connections. Interpun facilitates all things including gambling. But indeed with those who do online gambling, of course, their goal is to get a win, with the more often they do online gambling it can show that they are hungry for the victory they want to get, because if you say for fun I think that is only a small possibility because the fun in my opinion is at the point of winning.
With physical casinos, which can be said to be gambling in physical casinos for fun, it makes sense, because with each person's different perceptions, it is possible that some of them just see other people gambling and get a win, maybe they will feel happy, but obviously if they themselves get a loss, of course it is not fun, especially in physical casinos we can meet many people and maybe make new friends.

Convenience easily destroys the gambling patterns of most gamblers. Due to the ways people now wager money online, even during sleeping hours. There are times players are not energized to gamble but, due to the portability of online gambling they'll wager some games. Without thinking about their moves due to fatigue, the player will lose out more money. Offline gamblers, some, prepare to the casino to have fun and don't overdo this due to the distance.

Online gamblers increasingly wants to achieve fun when gambling, but don't actually get it due to the availability of the game just in their palms. The fun will immediately leave, while the choice of money begin to develop. Offline gamblers peacefully sleep at night, convenience simply takes away a full night rest from most online gamblers due to portability. Hence, online gamblers, I assume, should have enough self control to battle such urge to gamble always. In a nutshell, it's rare to always get fun from something that lives with us.
185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: May 18, 2024, 02:11:50 PM
When someone is addicted to gambling, of course they will find it difficult to stop gambling, because with them being addicted to gambling, their thoughts will only think about winning, and that will certainly encourage them to continue gambling even though they always lose. With them gambling and ending up losing and then returning to betting of course it is not a good solution, but if they can stop when they lose and return to gambling the next day it might not be a big problem, because what should not be done is when they lose in gambling and return to betting on the same day after experiencing that defeat.
Of course they must have their own reasons when other people ask them why they continue to gamble, but I don't think they will admit that they are addicted to gambling, it's very unlikely because I think they will be embarrassed if they admit that they are addicted to gambling.

When asked once more, who else would admit that he's addicted? Addicted players only deserve time to do fun activities other than gambling. Gaming struggles with the time of the player. It's fun indeed, but affects the way some players predict games. I see, often on social media, some funny videos of, wouldn't call them addicts, players who spend lots of time in the casino hitting the bet button on slot machines.

Addicts who get mostly glued to gambling can be cure through their cooperation to try something new. When pressed, addicts wouldn't comply or share positive truths about their problems. The essence of creating a close relationship with the player is to act like a watchdog. Helping the player with some necessary needs and expecting the true loyalty in return. If they don't tell us the truth or accept to be addicts the whole trouble will be highly tough to handle.
186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: May 18, 2024, 01:51:53 PM
My neighbor was the same as what you said but ended up committing suicide because he was in accumulating debt playing gambling slots. starting from deceiving close people to stealing, large debts without the family knowing. ended tragically when the debtors asked for the money to be returned immediately in a very large amount but the family was unable to pay the debt. Unable to pay the debt, my neighbor became frustrated/destroyed and even hanged himself due to the effects of excessive gambling.

That's a tragic scene there, he caught up with addiction due to his interest in holding money. His newly developed excessive gambling habit, wouldn't allow the player comfort when with no funds. It'll seem abnormal to them, victims, as they'll need to make some for gambling. Sad he engaged into illicit businesses for generating money for gambling.

The turning point is where he chose to be indebt. It's really a bad choice for gamblers. As it affects the player's thought and puts his life in a hurry. He'd want to resolve his troubles at every chance, a fast means of summoning more troubles to himself. However excessive gambling definitely hits harder on the player that he mostly won't adapt to a right choice. Seems the mental effect closes all form of meaningful ideas on ways to make money. Because most victims behave alike, exhibiting similar actions like stealing and deceitful means of generating money.
187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: May 16, 2024, 11:59:25 PM
A lot of people find happiness and joy in what they do and that has been one of the successful points for every successful thing, when you enjoy what you do and you like it, it make you get more opportunities and how to follow and what to do About it to get more skills, it is always good to get hundred percent skills will be guaranteed and you will succeed more, that is why everyone that is gambling succeed more if only they enjoy it and find happiness, but with if you are losing you may not enjoy it more

A gambler may not feel excited about the game but immediately jumps on his feet when he wins. That's really excitement. Gambling is just about in a competition where people get excited for scoring a goal and goes home sad for conceiving more goals at the end. Meaning they've lost the game and sport gambling also hits different when the player is sad for losing his money and also for his team that lost the game. Gambling wouldn't be fun for such a player. Due to the anxiety it may have caused him initially.

Hence, when the excitement is about money the player doesn't enjoy a full dosage of the excitement. Gambling doesn't offer such kind of consistent money. Excitement should be what it is, enjoying something, good or bad. If a player consistently thinks of limiting his gambling activities and enjoys the results he see and continually practice them he'd definitely get better in that line. Which is quite a better way to enjoy the game. As it's now under our control.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: May 16, 2024, 11:48:14 PM
The decision you take really matters and being over confident is something that cost you a lot and you should try to keep some knowledge and understanding? Sometimes I call gambling the war grand that cost someone to be happy and unhappy, it is not just easy you need to remove emotion and put some level of focus it will be fine with your gambling process should be done with a smart decision.

If a gambler does not have good knowledge and understanding in gambling and they carry out their gambling activities with full confidence, this is clearly a fatal mistake because having a strong sense of self-confidence can influence them to gamble excessively because people who already believe themselves, then they will be braver in taking action without seeing and assessing first whether the next result will be good or bad for them.
Yes, you are right, we should just have fun while gambling and we must also have a good understanding of intelligence so that gambling does not cause new problems in our lives.

Why would a new gambler decide to feel overconfident while gambling? It could be due to the information they have about gambling. And how certain it is for them to win big in gambling. False pre knowledge of gambling leads most players to think they've known it all. Contrarily, as you said it, zuzie, players need to be experienced before having some confidence while gambling. That wouldn't be a wrong move. As staying confident will help the experienced player to be relaxed and enjoy the game. Although the dangers are still they if the player losses their control. However it wouldn't be simple for an experienced player to lose form compared to a new gambler who knows nothing of self control and financial limitations.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mental rehabilitation clinic. on: May 16, 2024, 11:34:20 PM
When a gambler is admitted to rehabilitation, he is admitted to rehabilitation only when all the negative effects are observed in him and he is no longer able to protect himself from gambling. As a psychological I can't do any kind of consultant on gambling because a gambler or an alcoholic, whatever you call it, is only out of control when the brain is impaired and disordered. Methodology and therapy along with family support can have a hugely positive impact on them.

This is interesting, for this reason it is better to receive treatment based on a psychiatrist then? Because I understand that to stop a compulsive addict he has to do many things, even Sleep for days, the idea is to calm him down and not let him do Crazy things, what you say is Very good , if you are a psychologist then you understand mental states much better and psychological aspects of behavior in a person like that, but Sometimes I think that a Person who does not have that control should be Medicated, because otherwise things will not turn out well, of course that is what I think. .

Addiction requires therapy not a psychiatrist. Putting the gambler to sleep for days wouldn't make impacts since the memory of gambling wouldn't get erased from the addict's brain when he finally wakes up. Therapy works differently to recuperate the emotions of the gambler. He is mentally disordered not insane. It's just the difference. Those who are not mentally fine are taking to the psychiatrist. Addicts are only compulsive in the matters of gambling. They don't forget about their hiegine they still behave normal unlike those insane who act strangely.

However, if unattended to, an addict may get himself insane. And begin to act in an unacceptable way. The right people to help an addict is his family. Those he most love and respect can change his thoughts for a while and redirect it to something productive. I've felt this personally on other activities which I felt was consuming most of my time, a friend recommended a game that now makes me focus and designate time for such activities. Not getting moved by it anymore. That's the strength of a loved one in such matters. A therapist can't start his work properly if he's not made the addict comfortable around him.
190  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: May 16, 2024, 11:15:03 PM
Maybe the first thing I will do is provide basic knowledge about what gambling is and how someone can potentially become addicted to it. After he understands how someone can be addicted to gambling and how to avoid it, then I will ask him to activate the responsible gambling features on his account, such as time limit, reality check, etc., because these features are very useful for novice gamblers so that they don't exposed to gambling for too long which has the potential to make them addicted.
Someone can still claim to understand everything you told them about gambling addiction and how to avoid it and still end up getting addicted when, at the end of the day, it happens. It's easier the way they say it than to keep to it. 
 
So for the start, even when they say they are good to go, it will be better and safer to be checking up on them and asking about how they have been able to manage their bankroll to be sure if they are still in the country or not. Nowadays,  it's very easy for newbie gamblers to get addicted due to the high level of lose-chasing they have conceived in their minds.

Trying to get someone interested in responsible gambling require lots of efforts. Including for the newbies. Some people don't have any experience in gambling despite their multiple years in the gambling world. This shows how little a helping hand for responsible gambling is in the niche. I think it'll be hard to reach out to the right ones who would listen to such a good method about setting up limitations on their device. Maybe get alert once the time exhaust. But, that wouldn't drag the player away from the slot machine. Expecially when the game tends to get better. People have their ways of responding to things and not everyone thinks they're doing the wrong thing at the right time. Some people gamble at the right time but fail to gain happiness afterwards.

The money is what gets people addicted in gambling. Money makes people excited. And excitement brought most people to gambling. Telling them about a method that doesn't guarantee winning enough money wouldn't interest the person. Because his source of joy and excitement could be driven from the wins in gambling. I think checking up on them while playing is the right method. But who does get the chance of policing a fellow gambler. Another problem of it is that non gamblers can't help in teaching new gamblers because they don't know much of these things. The only available help are also busy with their personal gambling journey. That's why it seems that newbies don't often get help from experienced players. Like a planned thing, all player must make the early mistakes of their gambling journey, if they had no helping hand.
191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: May 16, 2024, 10:53:12 PM
I think it's a matter of confidence and stability than who should risk more, normally we would favour the rich cause he has more than the poor but some poor or average persons even risk more than the rich, so I think confidence has a role to play to determine how much we are willing to stake in a game.

The low income gamblers, as I fondly refer to them, have the tendency of seeking more money, people may think that's why they go into gambling. On the contrary, the rich gamblers also get magneted by the impulse to gain more profits. Just like the low income players, rich gamblers also get emotionally conned to wager huge sum of money. Sometimes you'd see a news flash of a school student that wagered his fees expecting more profits. Gambling behavior has nothing with the player's social class. Disobeying the general rule of gambling, will get any body into compulsive gambling, regardless of his financial status. And most of them will get their funds exhausted.

It's always important that a rich gambler is also experienced and follows a meaningful responsible strategy. However it feels to other people that the rich are the risk takers than the poor. Everyone who gambles for more money will take monetary risk when gambling. The bigger the funds look the more a player wants to own it. The player wouldn't mind how poor his strategy is, making the money is the only goal. Hence a player who doesn't have the money has nothing else to do than wager according to his reach. Yet when you look closely you'd see that even the low income players tend to wager what seems to be a huge sum of money for people in their class or environment. Just like a student can wager his school fees, a working class player can play all his salaries away.

192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: May 16, 2024, 10:24:48 PM
They only cares how they can benefits from the videos and that's why they always upload their videos every day. They don't care about their audience because as long as they can make money from the videos, they will focus on that.
If they focus in the gambling business, they will introduce many new gambling sites, but the audience should not always follows what they do because we must responsible with our money. This forum serves many gambling sites, including new gambling sites so we don't have to follow the influencers from the social media.
Those influencers really makes a lot of money from their videos so they will creates many more videos to attracts more audience that will watch their videos and gives them money. The audiences must be careful with the videos that can tempts them to follows to playing gambling.
Whatever the method, whether it's through posting photos or on social media, gamblers will never care about who sees it. they just think about how to get more money and be able to continue playing without any capital.
What must be emphasized at this time is that the viewers of the video do not get carried away into the gambling arena. considering that the audience still doesn't know how the world of gambling works, including financial management, controlling emotions and so on.

The gambling niche is on the world web and viewers of those channels are meant to stop participating online those things they can't do offline. What took them to a gambling page? If they weren't interested in such a niche they would have been using other channels meant for young people. The only advert I don't accept are those done on the platform directly to go across the whole platform not just on an influencers page. Such sponsored adverts have provisions for limiting who gets to see the advert or not.

So if a casino gets to avoid doing such things it'll be a wrong form of advertising their platform since it clearly states that gambling is for adults not kids. To shorten it, I think casinos assume that niche pages consists of adults, that's why they place those adverts there. Because they'll be no means of checking or regulating people that view those pages, shouldn't the barrier for more reachability or advertisement on an influential page.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: May 16, 2024, 09:57:34 PM
Yes must people don’t like to gamble in a public because of how people may sees them and the thought of people about them, it really feels like they are exposing a lot things,and because of the money they stake make them not to be public and I also like keeping my gambling from to know exactly what do and how I get my money, some actually do get much money from gambling and you may not know until you understand the process.


I don't think it exists, any masterable process of hitting consistent profits in gambling. How about a way of limiting those losses. And then build a method of regaining energy to gamble responsibly. Trying to form a means of winning steadily will only consume the player's income and lead to problem gambling. Don't accept the fact that some people do it. That's some social media marketing stuff. People coming up with videos or tweets of their winning. They're either selling some promo codes or course. Their aim is to earn more money by faking their gambling results. Even, experts don't actually have any proven technique that guarantees more profits in gambling.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: May 16, 2024, 09:47:00 PM
Yes gambling is never a source of income, but it is a good source of entertainment, a lot of fun can be had from here, but some people get addicted to it. And those who get addicted to gambling lose a lot of money but they don't realize it.  This seems normal to them.  And because of this they start gambling more and more money to recover their previous loss. And each of these steps proves to be his mistake when he loses it all

What gambling does to people is confusingly unpredictable. Addicts don't get to realize their foul actions due to the emotional downside of gambling. Non addicts also lose hard in gambling. What then do you think would happen to the addicts. You'd see that their problem tend to worsen daily. Provided the gambler possess money, he'd gamble. Addicts go through tough days trying to get some funds to gamble.

They form all sort of lies to their acquaintances just to gamble. Who would notice he's using the money for gambling purposes? Nobody. I think so. However an addict can't stay comfortably without thinking of participating in gambling. And ways he could generate money for gambling. It's one thing that gets them into severe trouble. The more a person thinks of something the better he gets at doing it. Hence an addict who generates different ideas of getting money for gambling purposes will someday think of the wrong ways. Such as borrowing money or running illicit businesses.

While gambling can seem like an exciting opportunity to quickly earn money, the reality is that casinos and other gambling venues are not designed for players to consistently win. The games are mathematically structured to give the house an advantage over time so that across thousands of bets, the casino profits while most players lose. This doesn't mean it's impossible to ever win at gambling. A player might get lucky on a given day and walk away with more money than they came in with. But over many repeated sessions of gambling, the odds say that the typical player will lose money rather than earn it. Gambling can be an enjoyable recreational activity if done responsibly for entertainment, but it is not a wise choice as a primary income source.
I think this is the whole idea that a random game can one day make a player rich. It is for this reason that games of chance are so popular in the world. I think absolutely every player always keeps the thought in his head that someday he will be lucky) For me personally, games are just spending time and not chasing wealth and I don’t get upset if my bet didn’t work.

How would you feel when people oppose such notions and tend to convince you about how they made lots of money in gambling? It's not a simple task to let people realize or change their perspective of gambling. The main reason most players make mistakes in gambling is because they are deeply attached to the thought of making quick money in gambling. Only an experienced person in terms of losing profusely in gambling would understand that gambling is actually a place to lose money. The others who blindly ventured into gambling, when told this, will only go into an argument. It's all a form of stress to get it across to them. I think more humans are just like gamblers. They usually go for the quick means to anything.

Why wouldn't majority of the viewer keep getting misleaded? Since we want to make fast money and the only place we could go is to online to check and follow influencers that are looking for money for themselves. We need to be wise and make sure we don't become so ignorant of what in happening im the world were so many influencers could go extra miles just to make money from their followers. We need to always make decisions for ourselves not trying to make money by all means we can always seek for help around us. Influencers are no good choice for us and we need to make sure we follow the right path.

Nobody is to be blamed. Looking at the troubles some players add to their gambling journey, you'd notice its caused by negligence. Gambling owns a policy that restricts players who are not 18 years old from being participants. But, promoted in platforms with no age restrictions. They chose those platforms for more reachability and exposure regardless of who is there or not.

So as to get their targets, they involuntary feel reluctant of limiting those ads from getting to the underaged this, then, will lure the young people to boycott the gambling policy. However, it's not wrong to promote gambling on such platforms. Yet, something lacks in the niche, the need to teach people to focus on responsible gambling habit. Those who get mislead wouldn't have been a victim if they were enrolled in some ways to learn responsible gambling.



197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Casino Community Service Possible? on: May 16, 2024, 08:22:35 PM
any big group, has already such kind of programs (very easy... just think about gambling rehab or promotion against heavy gambling...)
In my country several big groups are already paying these kind of service...

If you know marketing, you know very well that this is just another kind of promotion... many years ago a famous "candy" "golia bianca" (white golia) was promoting their initiative in north pole to save white bear...
of course they don't care about bears, it was just a way to promote their brand and depict them as "interesting in nature" etc etc

I think that's the best community service any casino can render to the society. Helping people understand the importance of responsible gambling. Other ways of giving back only matters in items but wouldn't save any player in trouble. However the compulsive players may not willingly show up to participate in such a program. Since, in their perspective, it doesn't seem to benefit them in anyway. Addictive players get moved by money. Sitting still and getting counselled is a no.

Unless casinos find a way to pay them for attending those therapy sessions, most addicts won't give it a shot. But getting this right will help the casino increase its revenue. Addictive players who have ran out of control can be revived to stay responsible for his family and community. Eradicating the sad publicity gambling has in the society. It'll only take some times. People can begin to realize that gambling is not wrong. New players can as well enroll to avoid getting into a compulsive style of gambling.
198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: May 15, 2024, 06:10:05 PM
~snip~
I agree with you. This issue is so broad that can cause a huge number of opinions. In my opinion, each gambler himself determines his own risks and plays gambling considering this. Exceed their risks can absolutely any gambler, regardless of how much money in his account. Therefore, to compare the risks of a rich gambler and poor is not quite right. Yes, and lose money hurt both.

In my experience, the rich person will simply not gamble their money.

The poor person will try to put their money into this thing and see if they win anything, basically buying hope.

The reality is that the poor get poorer and the rich get richer because the rich don't gamble.

Rich people don't gamble their money? pardon! A lot of rich gamblers also regret wagering what they shouldn't. It could be, for some, properties, investments, huge amount of money etc. those possessions are being staked by some rich gamblers. And most often they tend to lose the game. Recently a thread was opened regarding a wealthy man who wagered all his wealth within 3 years. Who else gambles more money than the rich? It's the price or risk they need to take in aspiration for making a kill in gambling. Consistently wagering huge amount in gambling will definitely get anybody's funds exhausted. Time will tell.

Low income players don't need to bother about wagering big amount, since they don't own it. Assuming they do, the player will do more. That is, if irresponsible. However, we should place this argument in the hands of individual differences. Some rich people are smart players while others are not. Same goes to the low income guys. Risk have multiple meanings. But the worse risk is losing out the love we have for ourselves and family. By engaging into compulsive gambling. I think in this context, money is the risk. Then, no need, the rich takes the most risk.

Losses keep on erupting, tarnishing the fun that should have been accumulated in the game. As many would say that gambling wouldn't be fun without those wins. Contrarily, what makes gambling fun are those losses. On a different view most dramas that makes the casino fun to be, get energized by losses.

The news and videos of the reactions players display, also, is what makes gambling fun, but it's also fueled by losses. Complaints are always directed to mistakes, anxiety, addiction and bankruptcy. These things always shortens the fun of gambling for an individual participant. Note that my view above is also from the aspect of the general community how funny it sounds to them about some mistakes gamblers make. Yet, gambling is fun when done the right way; responsibly.

As it should be but its unbelievable that there are really indeed people who do make gambling as their last resort or something that solved out their financial problems on which this is really something which is really that absurd if we do speak something about this. This is why it would really be best that you should stop on thinking up on this way and just really that gamble for the sake of fun.

.....

however, most poor people can only hope that gambling will enable them to earn large amounts of money in a short time. they have no other choice to rely on gambling, because that is the easiest thing for them to access and the cheapest for them to get, because with just a few dollars they have the opportunity to get thousands of dollars if they are lucky.

this has become a common thing in underprivileged communities, where they prefer to gamble rather than invest, because they can have the opportunity to earn big money in a short time with small capital. even though the chances of them getting the jackpot are quite small, at least they have tried and if they are lucky they might be able to get a jackpot that could change their lives.

When they are lucky! Thank goodness you picked that point. Luck happens unexpectedly and disappears immediately when gambling. It's not consistent, and the efforts gets affected afterwards when the player doesn't pay attention to a well detailed gambling strategy. Players who even get the wins still goes back unhappy. So, I understand how tough survival in a substandard community could be, but inflicting stress and anxiety to the financial struggle is a bigger trouble.

True, gambling can offer quick funds. No, players can't get this quick money instantly. Like any other venture it demands time and calculative moves to earn a meaning result. What would they do if it's the only way that seems available for escaping financial problems? On the long run it ends up a difficult one to control and the player with no self knowledge of gambling will find it hard to realize he's been heading to a more stressful and hard time. Harnessing such thoughts is the problem. Gambling is all people think it is, but problematic players apply wrong strategies to the game, in return for big wins.
