The house takes everything we've won in gambling, you're right. Newbie gamblers fail to understand that competing with the house is quite demanding. And would eat up all their funds. Winning and withdrawing immediately sounds cool, but it'll be better to gamble a bit more, maybe twice, before taking the funds. Because if care is not taken the winner will wager all they've won and deposit more in the process of winning big. After the bank roll has been completely spent the gambler will feel sad for his mistakes. The problem revolves around every gambler who thinks they can win against the house. Those who gamble for fun have a better chance of winning than the loss-chasing gamblers. Who doesn't plan their money or time, while gambling? They also bring a bad name to the niche of gambling. As many hate gambling in society, because of the actions of addicted gamblers. Unless a person reads about gambling, they'll always see all gamblers as an irresponsible person. Due to their experiences with a loved one who has been abusing gambling. So, gamblers shouldn't believe in any win trap, they can only get lucky at some point, then withdraw money, like you, and move on. During their next gambling session, they can easily spend a few funds, if no win arrives, the player should stop and rest. Winning is not a must in gambling. Players who think it's a must to win in gambling will face deep trouble in gambling.

Loneliness leads people to gambling, but they'll regret it in the long run, as their actions won't be rewarded, making the gambler feel sad. In the case of Op's friend, he's not supposed to be a gambler, but his wife's absence pushed him to gamble due to loneliness. Such things can be battled with different techniques or social events like playing sports games, meeting with old friends, attending shows, etc. Instead of gambling anytime we're bored, the person can think of something else. With Op's friend's condition, he'll need to gradually get a cure for his depression. But, it depends on the reason why his wife left. This leaves me with little facts on what to say regarding his addiction, as Op didn't mention all that, though, not necessary. However, if he had disputes with his wife before she left, then his depression would increase, causing him to gamble more than his bankroll.

The problem will be, putting his addiction behind him, as it'll seem impossible to control his addiction, while lonely. Who would be his companion, that can talk him into a different lifestyle? Even addicted gamblers with roommates still find it difficult to communicate their addiction to the next person. Hence, it's a hurt moment for the player. He'll find himself not feeling regrets for his actions, as he'll feel that's the only alternative to escaping his pains. Gamblers shouldn't let real-life problems affect their gambling attitude. Because many who out of heartbreaks, ventured into gambling have experienced difficulty or problem gambling. If he got addicted to another form of addiction, it would have been easier to switch habits. Gambling addicts, find it hard to get addicted to something else. Stressing the healing process of every gambling addict.

Looking at the article you'd understand that it's not only limited to wagering 1%, the player is required to adjust according to the amount he earns each month or annually. This is a good strategy for gamblers to always manage their funds and lead a valuable gambling experience. Nothing is wrong in staking games with 1% of our income, regardless of how much we'd earn from gambling the little amount. It's better to depend on the money we earn from business than money made via gambling. As it's not a place to make money or earn a living. It's a bad decision to spend all the money we make from business or company in gambling hoping to triple our profits. The trauma such a decision can cause to a gambler would be enormous, as he won't withstand the number of losses attributed to gambling. However, not everyone would love to adhere to this type of advises, and they'll go ahead to wager more than they can lose. Affected in business productivity, the gambler would lose more; in gambling and income sources.

Wouldn't it be a severe problem for the gambler? Gamblers must follow instructions from gambling experts, as there is a reason why they devise such methods of coping with money management. Many have experienced the downside of loss of money control in gambling. And doesn't wish for somebody else to pass through similar disputes.

However, it's not easy to stick to those instructions, because we all enjoy gambling and would prefer to get more of the thrills. Then we forget that the thrill isn't a thrill if we end up regretting our actions. Now believing after the whole game, that the thrill was a trick, puts gamblers to another level of anxiety. Those who seize to practice what they've learned about gambling face more difficult times, and find it hard to give up the bad habit. As they wish to recover all the losses at one go, wagering more money for a jack pot. Which doesn't come easily, and before it arrives the gambler may have chattered his income and derailed productivity. Therefore, he becomes half addicted feels bittered about gambling, and is not able to help himself. Hence, whenever we gamble, it's important to manage the money we earn through businesses, then follow advice like OP's.

Gambling ads contribute to the dissemination of gambling in the society. Yet most people still don't venture into gambling after seeing those ads, because of their personal beliefs and understanding of gambling. The habit has bad publicity in society. So, we don't expect everybody to become gamblers. Another catalyst of gambling is the peers around the nongambler. People need to make money, and when they hear their friends talking about winning big through gambling they'll want to give it a try. Thereby, participating in a habit they don't have a prior understanding about. How easy does it seem to forget about gambling? Even when the player isn't with gamblers, he'll have his phone with him, nothing can stop him, other than his willpower. The bad publicity circulating in society regarding the disadvantages of gambling may have gotten to the ears of kids growing up. Which will lead them to ask or think about what gambling is about. Once they figure out it fetches money, they'll tend to try it while in an argument.

However, if addiction is hereditary, then the context of my thread is quite on point, as I don't understand how kids get to participate in gambling; locally. Who teaches them or do they learn from friends in school, can't explain. But, it'll leave me wondering how gambling habit is built. Lots of kids in a neighborhood where gamblers dwell must have had a relative who participates in gambling. That doesn't mean the child becomes a gambler, but there is a high possibility that the child, growing up will gamble one time in his life. So, those media advertisements can be secondary, word of mouth is the biggest form of advertisement. Especially in gambling, with addicted people getting in trouble every day. Parents will warn kids not to gamble. Remember that advice these days has different functions, it could help or destroy the person. If the child wants to know why his parents warn him against gambling, he'll gamble.

How about thinking of it from a perspective where both gamblers are experienced in gambling? One side doesn't have to feel bad for losing a few bucks in gambling. They both need to caution themselves on that. I'd say instead of quitting, they can play together and communicate about maintaining their habit. In your context, if the wife always has a mood swing after gambling, it's best to stop her, so that she won't get sad on the kids. They can still be playing, and maintain a rule of keeping the kids out of it. What is most important is to take the responsibility of the home most seriously. And gambling is a secondary priority. I prefer a family with both parents gamblers than one parent a gambler. In the later, the one person will hide his habit from his wife, just like most forum members testified, that they hide being a gambler from their wife. So, if the gambler loses a whooping amount, he'll lie to the wife about using it for something else. Which is not conducive to the growth of the family. On the contrary, both parents will easily flow together and watch each other gamble. Advising themselves on how much to stake each month. The kids won't find out about this unless their parents are compulsive gamblers, they can begin to suspect the chaos happening between their parents.

There is no other skill in gambling other than self-control and money management skills. Every other possibility or probability skill relies on luck. The self control and money management skill is on the gambler's decision. Professional gamblers who spend much time gambling, limit the time and money spent on gambling and don't lose control over changing their decision when they're losing or winning. However, some will spend more time if they win more money from the money limited to gambling. For instance, if a gambler wants to gamble with $200 for 2 days, he'll gamble $100 per day, hence allocating at least 5 hours each day for gambling. They'll have to play the game bit by bit until it gets to 5 hours. If eventually the gambler wins an extra $50, he can gamble more with the $50 he's won. Which won't affect his decision to gamble for two days. it'll only shift the 5 hours meant for gambling each day to at least an extra 2 hours making it 7 hours. When the money is exhausted, they'll stop gambling for the day. Because they're not there for the profits, the player doesn't care about those wins. He only gets happy because it'll buy him more time to gamble. I think it's what makes a successful gambler different from irresponsible gamblers, who will gamble more than the $200 set aside for gambling, in the adventure of making more wins. 

Whenever a person does something they didn't plan on doing, they'll regret it, if the action doesn't have a positive impact. Gamblers who out of loneliness or boredom spend money in gambling will have regret or remorse. Especially when other neglected financial responsibilities begin to pop out of his mind. The blame goes to gambling, for taking all the money meant for other utilities. Hence, gamblers must have a rethink before gambling. Maybe, have other events to distract the mind from going to gamble. When in that condition, boredom, hanging out with friends are also an anti-dote for compulsive gambling, which may lead to problem gambling. Because, if they try to reduce the amount of gambling, the player still has control over the money, he can still increase it, till all his budgets get swept away. Even, during shopping, we do have a budget, but most of the time, it changes when we find ourselves in the mall. The same is true with gambling, discipline, and self-control matters. Those who lose control can windup the initial plan of spending a specific amount in gambling. There, the regrets begin to erupt.

Many criterion contributes to regrets in every gambler's experience. But, we all are expected to accept the responsibility of wagering money in gambling. The decision is ours and not of the casino. Blaming the casino or gambling for our mistake isn't helpful to the gambler. If a gambler blames himself, it'll help him avoid gambling much money next time. But, because they don't acknowledge their mistakes, the urge to repeat the same mistake can't be stopped or controlled. At least stopping when the initial funds, set aside for gambling, have been exhausted is a reasonable idea, in battling addiction. As you said, any gambler that's self-conscious of his gambling self-concept will not regret gambling, for any reason whatsoever. Some gamblers even when they can't afford to play, try as much as possible to do anything within their jurisdiction, including borrowing, to gamble. And if a gambler stops to regret his bad habit, I think he's already on his way to addiction.

It depends on the person, that's why people vote No. Every gambler has different ways of adapting to win or lose. Not all will easily get paranoid and transfer aggression to kids around them. Sometimes, it causes us to feel depressed about losing so much money, yet most gamblers don't lose money to such an extent. They stop along the line and rest or rethink their predicting strategies. Those who experience behavioral changes are mostly addicts. And if care isn't taken, the gambler won't stop being angry after losing money in gambling. It all has to do with our mental health. How the gambler was groomed as a child. Gambling could be what helped in developing such a bad attitude. Because you can't say people have not been spending money all their life. Why do they now get angry after spending money on gambling? Because they think it's a waste of money if the promised win doesn't arrive. Hence, it's safe to say that the type of gambler with behavioral change is chasing losses. It's quite disappointing not to win after a long chase. Although, the percentage of people who voted "no" is little, they're not wrong.

Both spouses should embrace the gambling habit and learn more about gambling. They'll have fun as a family. What matters is being able to prominently control the affairs of the family. It's not bad for gamblers to be married. Who then will stop gambling, it's not bad. Unless they're pruned to getting addicted, then it's of no use to continue gambling. The fun gets better when they both, visit offline casinos and lodge in hotels to gamble during vacations. I understand that in a family where kids are just growing, they'll need to focus more on disciplining their children, and also maintain a mutual understanding of not discussing gambling-related topics around the kids. Don't think it'll be right for them to stop gambling.

They both have jobs and should know how much to spend daily on gambling or set out an amount for monthly gambling. If their gambling habits begin to affect the family lifestyle, then it means they're getting something wrong. They can discuss ways of controlling money spent on gambling. Isn't it a nice experience for the gambler, who married a female gambler, or introduced his wife to gambling? Discussing with our wife about gambling and how to manage money. Gamblers need a companion to discuss, often their gambling attitude and encounters. One party can't get addicted without the next person being aware.

But, in families where the man is gambling, the wife won't be aware if their husband gets addicted. Thereby causing more harm to the success of the family, mentally, and financially.

provided that gambling is legalized in their country, then nobody is expected to quit. They'll be able to manage their bankrolls. I've read of a wife who is mainly interested in slot and the husband a poker player. They spend their vacations together in casinos and end up winning more money. Enjoy free hotel rooms, and food and get fun, as they're comp members. After their vacation, they'll go back home happy. In a family like Op described the kids seem to be young. In the long run, both spouses would appreciate being gamblers, if they maintain responsible gambling. But, OP, if they are currently undergoing any form of addiction, then open up in your thread. From what you wrote, nothing like that, you only care about their financial well-being. Which shouldn't bother you. They've figured out how to handle that aspect.

The early wins trigger the gambler to play more games, even when faced with consecutive losses. Gamblers shouldn't mind the thrills of winning and stop when they feel their money has gone so much into gambling. Ending our bankroll in one day isn't a reasonable gambling strategy. With limitations, a gambler can gamble for weeks without running out of bankrolls. It's good you worked towards money management. Many newbies have been victims of running broke through gambling. Which isn't ideally a sensible way of gambling. The aim of participating in gambling is to be able to know our predicting level. Excellent gamblers don't find it difficult to face life, because they know of the benefits of gambling. Being able to understand, decisions to make in real life. The casino devises different strategies for gamblers, to make more profits for their gambling business. Hence, gamblers are expected to have unique strategies, to avoid the deceits of the gambling house. Some gamblers fall for the strategies of the house, which is giving out few wins, to keep the gambler rolling. Hoping to hit a big win. Then, they'll end up losing out every fund they've won, in one sitting.

It won't help with the outcome of the gambling nor will it contribute to a better prediction. But, it helps in saving the gambler from losing more money or being exposed to gambling addiction. Because as a newbie, they'll be tempted to win, at all odds. Not talking about sports betting, but other games like slots. Most people lose huge amounts of money, trying to win back, what they've lost. So, whenever a gambler is getting to a point where they don't know whether to continue playing or stop, instead of looking at the screen and waiting for the right decision, isn't it better to close the computer and take a rest? Because at that moment the gambler isn't enjoying his habit anymore. I'll put it to a halt. Because my next moves wouldn't be calculated and may cause losses. Then, the gambler is introduced to compulsive gambling as a result of the anxiety from consecutive losses.

Many gamblers continue playing even when they don't enjoy it anymore. They're now like kids begging to get their cookies back after willingly gifting them to an elder brother, who already ate the cookies. The child ends up angry and cries himself out. The same applies to gamblers, they lose more trying to gain the lost money, which was willingly used to play game. Thereby ending the initial fun. Sports betting is somehow helpful, as the gambler would have to wait or watch the games. Slot isn't like that, it consumes time, money, and brain power. And newbies play slots because it doesn't require much skill to play slots. They're only required to click on the play button and wait for the results; win or lose. The instant results, like Esport players, contribute in developing problem gambling.

It'll be hard to get such an app that does that, but watching penalty shootouts is interesting. However, I was expecting you wanted to gamble or stake games on different games hoping that they'll play penalties. If it's what you need, you can watch penalty shootouts after 90 minutes, then predict from results or record, teams that usually tend to play penalty. Teams with the most rough defenders, easily get penalty shootouts. However, your topic sounds more like how to know if a team will play a penalty, from the way the game goes, then you'll predict. In such a situation, we can predict penalty if an attacker is moving too fast into the 18-yard box, but the defenders always slide to intercept the ball. There'll be a high chance of a penalty shootout in the game. Reading further, the context of the thread changed, where you only wish to watch live penalties in every soccer game around the globe. Switching from one game to another doesn't seem enjoyable to me. Thinking of a better way to achieve that, is by staying active on social media platforms where football games are analyzed. Yet someday, in all games played that very day, there wouldn't be any penalty shoot-out, . It's better to watch a documentary of penalty shootouts on YouTube channels, as what you want can be very stressful. But, it's quite a nice initiative to develop an App that solves such a problem, if none exists.

Your last line is important in neglecting gambling addiction. I mean, there've been millions of pieces of advice circulating the net about how to handle or avoid gambling addiction. But, lots of people still fall for it, we'll blame it on gamblers who don't read the advice or aren't knowledgeable about the information. yet others who read this information on gambling precautions still get addicted, leaving therapists with the conclusion that, the cause of gambling addiction could be unknown as any gambler could get addicted. The control is in us, like you said, the whole thing depends on the gambler. Hence, we must practice what we've read, while gambling. Instead, it won't be of help to us.

His opinion is owned by him, but he sounds like a careful person, who doesn't want to lose a dime in gambling. Why he's here in the first place, may he be preparing or reading to know more about gambling? A person may not be interested in paying to watch a football match, but he can stay around those who discuss football. And he's completely welcome to participate in this discussion. Even if his points or response ain't valid, we also need his abstract comment to understand that not everyone thinks like everyone else in the discussion. Which balances the discussion and turns it into an argument. However, paying 1% of our income is not too much to ask, as we spend lots of money to maintain other responsibilities in life. Hence, anybody who feels like getting relief through gambling after a stressful day, week, or month. Can easily gamble for pleasure and revive themselves for a better performance the next week.

However, not all humans understand the importance of gambling, they think it's a waste of money. But, fail to remember that they also spend money on hotels, drinks, etc. Even those other ones don't have any possibility of rewarding the buyer with money. I understand he wants to stay safe and doesn't want to get involved in gambling because of all he's heard about gambling. It's good, instead of becoming one, which might get addicted to the habit. Everyone is entitled to what they choose to do with their time and money. Hence, no need to think he's anti-gambling, if he is, he wouldn't be here. And a person who gets discouraged due to his response also isn't on the wrong side. Gambling is a free-will activity, as the risk is enormous. Although the goal is not preventing people from gambling. If someone is unsure about their ability to manage gambling-related problems like addiction and financial loss, they can choose not to participate.

In sports gambling, following analyses is great, until the game ends in a score contrary to our predictions. Some people follow a historical approach, but it's not 100% accurate. During the Arsenal and Luton town games, many people played Luton to win Arsenal, because they've read that, in the history of football, Arsenal never won Luton in Luton's home stadium. Along the line, it seemed like Luthon would win and they felt so happy, then in the last 1 minute Arsenal changed their predictions and they lost. The bookmakers also added more odds on Luton to win Arsenal. While it's good to analyze games, following the recent changes in the league is crucial. In the premier league for instance, instead of playing a particular team to win, it's better to bet on both teams to score. Or bet on more than 3 goals to be scored in the match.

Because smaller teams with low chances of winning, can defeat a big team with all the possible facilities needed to win; fit players and many consecutive wins. If you watched the Luton game, you'd notice that Arsenal almost lost the game. And the same thing had a tough time with Liverpool. Who would ever believe that Luton town would be a turn in the flesh of Arsenal fans and players that day? Analyses work but don't play a particular team to win another. Play based on the results you noticed within the past few games. Premier League games are easier to predict regarding goals predictions; goals, 4 goals to be scored, etc, but more difficult when we predict a particular team to win. Unless you won't watch the game, it makes me uncomfortable.

No matter how early, regret always comes late. Gambling is one activity that has the highest publicity. From childhood, people hear about gambling or see elderly people winning big in gambling. And the news circulates in the neighborhood. It'll be hard to grow up in a gambling-legalized country, and won't get to know gambling. However, knowing about gambling is also different from engaging in gambling. However, people who participate in gambling and have misbehaved due to their lack of gambling control, then battle with addiction, will regret knowing about gambling. But the common circulation of regrets after losses by a gambler doesn't sound strong to me, as they'll go back to gamble again. Most gamblers only have to regret it for a few days and don't understand why they're gambling again. Hence, when people regret being gamblers, they don't stop gambling in the long run. Staying close to gamblers, even as gamblers, at some point, we regret playing gambling with the money we would have used for some other things. I think it's mainly part of the fun. Humans are like that. After a bad experience, we'll say we are not interested, anymore, in a particular habit. But find our self engaging in the same habit again.

Those skills are what is been required of a gambler to know regarding the house edge and calculating how it can yield them wins, it's very crucial. I think dice are also manipulated by the casino somehow. While I was reading about using Dice rolls to create a private key, they're cases where people could predict what the outcome of a die would be, maybe the fault could be from the manufacturers; unfair die. Somehow the casino can manipulate it, but people would argue it's not possible. However, the dice games are easier to win compared to slot games. But the required skills aren't going to give us more wins compared to the number of times we'd lose money playing slots. Players will always find it difficult to enjoy slot games unless they join a comp club. Then it'll be easier for them to benefit too much while playing slot. Slot games are better played offline, in casinos, where the player would be rewarded per points and given free hotel rooms, food or even show tickets. As for online players they just have to enjoy the game win or lose.

Gambling benefits include critical thinking, and the importance of gambling exists, the problem here is that many people already have bad experiences with gambling, so they go about telling people about how bad gambling is to them. And since many people already have these in mind, when they go into gambling they'll be facing more troubles as well. It's good to see these benefits of gambling, being disseminated amongst gamblers. So that they'll be able to understand gambling is not only affecting human's brain. They're some good aspects of gambling. That's why many CEOs and managers also participate in gambling. Those who spoil the concept of gambling don't have enough control. Not speaking against the effect of gambling on addicts, but it's safe to say that, the whole ball was on their court. In the same way, people benefit through gambling others face difficulties as well. It's quite obvious the bad PR allocated to gambling is flying faster than the importance of gambling. If people understand they can get relief through gambling and enjoy these benefits listed in the article shared by OP. They won't bother so much about making money off gambling. This is one reason why they always get addicted to gambling. Hence, every gambler should also understand that gambling is good and adds value to a healthy life. Uninformed gamblers focus on chasing losses and seeking quick money-making methods, instead of taking it bit by bit and observing the help gambling is adding to their life. Having fun is healthy. Whatever people face in gambling is self-inflicted.

Such practices will only cause trouble for both friends. If the person doesn't win any money the rightful owner of the money won't feel happy about it. The other person may not be a gambler but has been convinced by the winning stories of his friend. And wants to give it a try. He may have developed some sweet syndromes, thinking about how big they'll become if his friend wins. So, to some, it's not their fault that they financed the gambler. And the gambler won't take the blame either, thereby ending the relationship. Hence, it's not advisable for a non-gambler to finance a gambler. Suggesting gambling with the money instead, it's not possible for a gambler to finance another gambler. Everyone will prefer experiencing the fun, and winning themselves. Only newbie players will prefer handing out their money to another gambler, as they don't, yet, feel familiar with gambling.

As regards to borrowing money, compulsive gamblers who look for deceitful methods of taking people's money, will not tell the money lender that they need the money for gambling. It'll reduce their chances of getting approved to receive the money. So, the gambler will need to do anything on his horizon to convince the person to lend him money. Giving meaningful reasons as to why they need the money. Most of them lose out all the borrowed money and risk their life. As they'll feel vulnerable for owing a huge amount, which they can't account for, how it vanished. Many gamblers in Australia left this world for such reasons. People are advised to conduct underground research on whom they lend money to, not to contribute to the despair of that person. He should be left with no money, then given money to gamble. Engendering his life and wasting money meant for society.  

By patience, do you mean waiting or continuing playing till they get a win? It sounds that way, but leaving the computer would be better advice for the gambler. Because of why they wait or screen or chat with other gamblers on the chat board. The newbie might go back to try some luck when others share their wins on the chat box. As a newbie, it's crucial he gets used to staying informed on different gambling strategies. Then practice with demo modes, when he's no longer comfortable with wagering money. Gambling only gets better when the gambler, enjoys every bit of the process. But, it requires consistent trial and error to get familiar with our gambling impulses. Gambling isn't something that needs a strong effort to control. The player only needs to always stay in control of his decision. Whenever he begins to doubt his decisions, he'll face problem gambling. About a gambling site to gamble, he can do some research on top review sites. Then choose old gambling platforms. When experiencing new challenges, the gambler needs to open threads and discuss with other gamblers regarding his new problems. He can be doing that until he feels a bit safe and responsible for every step he makes in gambling.
