With that hope, there are people who's willing to buy more ticket to enhance their chance to win the jackpot, not going to blame them from how they see the opportunity and beside it's their money that they are spending, personally, I only spend some spare when I got hooked with the pot prize, who knows luck might be somewhere, but unfortunately, never happen yet.

In a financial aspects, it is more practical to use your money to other things that may give you some growth instead of aiming for luck and hope for a big returned with a huge risk behind.
Some people are willing to buy more tickets to increase their chances of winning their lottery ticket. They think having lots of lottery tickets will give them a chance but it all still depends on their luck in winning the lottery. Those who already know that the lottery requires luck will only buy a few tickets because that doesn't guarantee we can win. We can buy many tickets occasionally if we have extra money that we don't use for anything.

That is why we have to really allocate the money we have and not be easily tempted by the opportunity to win a gambling game, especially if the gambling game is based on luck. Rarely can people win luck-based gambling games despite having more tickets than others.

well, you have said this before and I still remember that time and it is also one of the easiest ways to be a responsible gambler and a healthy gambler without having something bad like chasing losses as you said.
but as I said before, it all depends on how every gambler thinks, if they want to become a healthy gambler, they definitely want to understand and learn how to gamble healthily in a basic way that is easier to do and all of this requires a strong desire because If you dont have a strong desire, a gambler will definitely always ignore any advice.
and actually this is all very easy if a gambler has the awareness that the way gambling works is simply to seek pleasure and immediately stop after getting that pleasure. but the mistake that gamblers often make is that they forget that after getting pleasure they actually follow their lust to continue betting and become excessive as you said, whereas everything in excess is not very good.

I fully support what you say about these limits because it is one of the basic ways that is easy to do and anyone here definitely understands very well what limits must be implemented in order to remain a responsible gambler.
I've said it before, but there's nothing wrong in saying it again because we have to remind each other what we have to do when gambling. We must remember what is needed to avoid losing a lot, especially if we lose self-control, which will make us lose a lot of money too. Of course, if we want to be responsible gamblers, we must learn self-control continuously so that we will not run into serious problems and will not be easily tempted by the offers we see in casinos. By having the awareness that gambling is just entertainment, we will not try to chase wins from gambling games. We will let the victory come to us because our goal in gambling is just to have fun and when we get it, we will immediately end the gambling game. We can also avoid common mistakes that gamblers often make for our own good when playing gambling so that we won't experience a lot of losses like other gamblers.

That's why we really have to maintain limits when playing gambling so that we don't gamble excessively. Moreover, if we can limit our gambling games, we can be more responsible and can also enjoy gambling well.
1843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why gambling beginners must not joke with casino announcement on: January 04, 2024, 10:20:36 AM
Since there are a lot of people on our forum that are completely independent of each other and independent of any casino managers, they write reviews about the casino’s work completely objectively and truthfully.  Therefore, such information, obtained from the corresponding casino thread here at BTT, is valuable due to its objectivity.  Of course, we must add an element of individual perception of the game and the loss or win of each player, which is naturally containyed in the posts of forum users.  But even taking into account such individual messages about a given casino, the picture of events in a particular casino of interest to a newcomer is still clearly visible.  The features of using it can also be quite clearly clarified by a novice player not from his own experience, but simply by reading the corresponding thread of the casino that interests him.
That's what we get from this forum because each member gives us their experience, which will provide information about each casino we ask about. When we can gather more useful information, we will be able to choose the casino well. We will get the casino we want because the information we find is what we are looking for. The members here provide honest reviews without any additions because that is what they experienced when gambling at many casinos. They will also give us suggestions so that we can get additional information. But we still have to check it ourselves apart from getting advice or information from other members because we have to be able to get the casino we want.
1844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: January 04, 2024, 10:06:22 AM
Yes it is, and the difference in financial terms is the main focus in this issue between the rich and the poor, as you said that the rich have better financial strength which means they have the freedom in terms of allocating their money wherever they want especially in gambling. On the other hand for the problem of whether they will win more or not I think it is still unknowable, what is clear is that the rich have more experiments than the poor which means I agree that they will be closer to victory or luck, but if we look at it in terms of losing I think it's the same, meaning that the rich will also definitely experience a much bigger loss than the poor because as we know that luck can always not be known when it comes.

You have also said the same thing above that if we look at the risk of loss then the rich will also clearly have a considerable amount of defeat because they have more experiments than the poor, so still self-control and limits must still be owned whether you are poor or rich because the casino will be happier if you have financial freedom because it is also potentially a big advantage for the casino with the defeat that at any time dominates the rich.
Financial issues need to be considered, and a comparison between rich, middle-class, and poor people, and if they don't have a lot of money but still decide to gamble. Unfortunately, poor people who don't have a lot of money can't gamble for too long because they can't allocate a lot of money to gambling because of their limited money. Meanwhile, rich people who have more money can, of course, gamble longer, and they can also increase the amount of their bets. And when they lose control of themselves in gambling, they are the ones who will lose more money in gambling. And whether rich people, middle class people, or poor people, everyone will lose more money if they can't limit their money when gambling.

The most important thing is how we can control ourselves when playing gambling so we don't experience more losses. Self-control and boundaries must always exist and be trained continuously so that we are not tempted by gambling games that can make us spend even more money. Big losses will happen to all gamblers who cannot control themselves well, and even though they are rich, they can experience the same thing as other gamblers feel.
1845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: January 04, 2024, 09:43:29 AM
Intelligent kids are very inquisitive whenever they observe their parents doing one or two things on their mobile phone or Laptop consistently thus parents have to be cautious of their gambling activities in the presence of such kids because exposure to such gambling activities in their presence might prompt them to develop interest in it thus would mar  or affect their academic progress, however as they grow up and graduate from high school kids who has a passionate for specific game or sport might gradually develop personal interest in it possibly gamble on it, however they would have been above 18 years and matured enough to take responsibility.
Some children are not very intelligent and also want to know what their parents are doing, and it is normal for some children to keep approaching their parents when their parents are busy with their laptops and devices. These children want to know what their parents are doing, so they want to see it, and maybe later, they can also try it when their father's device is not in use. I have seen this happen to some of my friend's children, who do not pay attention to their children using their father's devices so that their children can open and see the device's contents. This requires further supervision from parents so that their children do not find out about things they are not appropriate to do.

It's just the question on whether we really should do it in front of our kids, responsible parents will not or should not because they know the consequences of it. And it's like encouraging them to follow you when they grow up and you are setting a bad example.

Exposing gambling for them is really bad, no matter how you look at it, saying that you are responsible and that you just play for entertainment or have some fun. We understand that, but doing it in front of your kids, you can really influence them to go to the same path and it might not be good for them.
We as parents must really be responsible with our gambling games and don't do it in front of our children. We should think about our children rather than encourage them to follow what we do. It's enough for us to gamble and our children don't need to gamble for the sake of their lives when they grow up.

Apart from that, we also don't need to show them that we are gambling because that can make them curious and want to know how to play it. If they already know how to play, they will invite their friends to gamble and they will do this when they are together. Meanwhile, their parents have no idea what they are doing because they are busy working and don't supervise how their children play with their friends.a
1846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in "Enhanced RTP" in some slots? on: January 04, 2024, 09:22:18 AM
I forget whether I've played this game or not because I never checked whether the slot game had "enhanced RTP" or whether it was just the slot game I usually play. I don't believe in things like that because if the slot provider made statements like that, we should be able to win more often and a lot more. But many of us still experience losses even though we play the slot game in question, and that's because this slot game really requires luck to win. We can't expect much if we don't have luck and can only enjoy the game. We can also move from one slot game to another to check and find out where our luck is. But it requires more time and money, especially since we don't know where and when luck will come.
1847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How possible is it to win lottery 14 times using mathematics calculations on: January 03, 2024, 02:06:13 PM
Luck may be on the gambler's side sometimes, but if the gambler does not realize that they have got what they want and must immediately stop gambling, they will only lose more money. But if it has anything to do with mathematics, I don't know, especially since I need help understanding mathematics, which is too complicated.

But we don't know the truth about it. He may have been lucky so he could win 14 times or he used other methods we don't know about. We only know that lottery games are purely games of luck. So we can only depend on luck, which makes people come back to the lottery game to try to win the prize money.
1848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gaming promotions to earn actual money on: January 03, 2024, 01:22:49 PM
I just found out about it for the first time and had never even heard of it before. It could only happen in a few places and not many can use the promo money to win a decent win. But if it really were in many betting shops, more people would likely use the promo to earn real money.

But we have to know that if casinos miss this, they can still gain profits from other gamblers because they provide promotions not only on lottery or keno games. Casinos will provide promotions for other gambling games, attracting more gamblers' attention. So it's okay if the casino experiences a loss in one game because the casino still has many other gambling games that gamblers like.
1849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Buying More Tickets To Increase Your chances on: January 03, 2024, 12:44:58 PM
It depends to a perspective and status of a person, if they have a means to buy a lot of lottery ticket then it will not be an issue and as a matter of fact, many people are doing that in our country especially those who really loves buying lotto tickets, as in everyday they bought tickets and betting in the same numbers. But for me, even that I have the means to buy many tickets, I choose not to, because it's not practical for me and I believe that if luck is really for me, even if I only bet on one ticket, I will win. I don't need to spend a lot and expect to win.
That means we have to look at how much money we have and refrain from using the money we have prepared for daily expenses because that will create an imbalance in our finances. But most people will immediately buy lottery tickets in large quantities, seeing huge prize money waiting for the winner. I also won't buy many tickets even though I have a lot of money because that doesn't guarantee I can win, and I should allocate the money for other, more important needs. Buying lottery tickets can make someone go beyond their limits because the ticket prices are cheap and we can buy them repeatedly with a lot of money. But we still depend on luck to win.
1850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 03, 2024, 12:21:00 PM
and sometimes offline casino or physical casino can be dangerous as, of course, you are socialising, there might be people with malicious intents to do something bad to you inside or outside the casino establishment. We have different opinions, so for me, offline and online are the same in the sense that gamblers can lose a lot of money depending on their self-control.
Both casinos, offline and physical casinos can tempt many people to play gambling games. To be safer or unsafe depends on how people treat them because if they can control themselves, they can gamble in offline and physical casinos safely and comfortably. So it all depends on how people behave in using gambling. But seeing the temptations provided by gambling is what makes people not think about whether it is safe or unsafe because they only see gambling as a way to make money. That's what we have to avoid, and we must learn to use gambling well to prevent problems from arising.
1851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: January 03, 2024, 11:39:25 AM
There is no business where you can get guaranteed success so luck will let you down for everything gambling is no exception. Because gambling requires you to take risks and put your mind to the fact that you will win. In my area very young children are also busy with online gambling but why is that? Because they are winning, the attraction to gambling increases. It is not unusual to gamble every week but you have to be quiet that the pocket cannot be emptied. If your income is high then you can easily control and play. But i have seen it is more harmful for the student body because they have no source of income so they indulge in other vices to earn gambling money.
Everything is because gambling offers the opportunity for everyone to be able to win many gambling games. But the problem is that they don't realize that to win from gambling, they have to use their money and will probably lose more than the amount they can. And when they win, they will forget to stop gambling because they want to win even more so they will just continue gambling. And gambling can attract young people to try it, especially now that there are lots of gambling advertisements that can appear anywhere so that more people will see it. Even though their income is high, if they gamble with big money, it will only waste all their money. Moreover, when playing gambling, there is a possibility that someone will try to increase the amount of their bet to be bigger than before just because they want to get a bigger win. But they don't realize that they can suffer a big loss too.
1852  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: January 03, 2024, 11:26:02 AM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.
Well, I wouldn't say they are more financially meticulous than the poor person, only that they simply take less number of games and stake big, but the average person will want to take more selections to give them a good run for their money.
I've seen instances of these rich people staking big and before the game will end they may have seen that the outcome may not be favorable, they will quickly make a cash out.
But in reality, it is like that because rich people can win larger amounts of money than poor people, especially when they are betting, they use even more money. And that's why when they win, their win will be bigger than anyone else's. Regarding who understands gambling better, it depends on each person because there are poor people who understand that gambling is about entertainment, so they don't gamble excessively and can still limit themselves. He also won't gamble with big money and only uses enough money to gamble. They try to prevent themselves from losing money, especially if they don't have much money. They just want to enjoy gambling as entertainment and don't want to get into any trouble from gambling.
1853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 03, 2024, 11:00:15 AM
I wouldn't care about what other people said and would just ignore them. It's my business if I gamble. The important thing is that I don't bother them, and I'm still within my limits when it comes to gambling. They can say bad things about me and if I'm not as bad as they think and I can prove it, they will get embarrassed in front of people. I don't want that to happen, and if something like that happens, I will immediately leave rather than have a useless chat between us. We don't need to pay attention to other people who say those bad things and just let them be like that.
1854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shorter the time you spend the better on: January 03, 2024, 10:28:26 AM
The amount of time spent gambling does have an effect. That doesn’t mean the amount of money used in playing doesn’t count. Both the time spent in playing and the money spent are both important to look out for whenever you’re playing.
When you’ve spent more time playing than already planned, there is a high probability that you’ll also spend more money than you bargained for. If you spend more time playing, you’re also likely to spend more money that you didn’t plan to spend as well. It’s that simple. Best to set a time and perhaps an amount limit and stick to it.
You are right. Using more time and money to gamble can put you at risk of losing a lot of money. In gambling, there is a possibility that a person loses control of himself, which can cause him to lose all his money, so he can only regret it. That is why when gambling, we have to be very careful in how we use our time and money so that we don't spend all the money we have. Many gamblers have lost all their money because they lost control of themselves in gambling so they couldn't do anything because everything was gone. The most important thing is that a person must be able to limit himself while gambling so that he does not lose a lot of money.
1855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: January 03, 2024, 10:08:33 AM
Its actually correct. Playing gamble in front of your kids potrays a bad image in them. Because definately it will surely affect them as they grew older. children are very captive, meaning they have that skill of capturing things quick at a little stage, and that is the main cause why they should be avoided when gambling. Addiction is easy but very difficult to pull out. And when. It has gotten to that extent of not being able to stop them it become a prayer point.
That's why we have to be really careful in our behavior because it will affect our children, especially as they are still developing toward adulthood. They can easily imitate what we do, including our speaking, behaving, and others. And if they find out we are gambling, they might try it and maybe they will gamble with their friends. Nowadays, many children gamble with their friends without their parents knowing, so in the end, it becomes a habit for children and is carried over into adulthood. If they grow up and become a gambling addict, it will cause bigger problems for their family and themselves.
1856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: January 03, 2024, 09:27:36 AM
No matter how you try to say it, the rich have more advantage of wining than the poor. It is noted that the poor always stake Little amount of money with higher odd and the rich stake bigger amount with less odd and that  will make them have more advantage over the poor and nothing more than that. That's just the truth.
Yes, that's correct. That is the advantage of rich people over poor people who can use their money for many things. They can bet large amounts of money than poor people and have a chance to win more than poor people. Apart from that, rich people can also gamble more often than poor people and for longer than them so that they really enjoy the gambling games they play. But if we talk about who will lose more, perhaps it is true that rich people can lose more than poor people because rich people use more money than poor people. So it's normal to assume that rich people will lose more than anyone else.
1857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Spending more or less money on Casino this Holiday season on: January 03, 2024, 08:50:29 AM
I haven't spent much on this holiday. The financial situation isn't good and my earning isn't enough to spend on gambling. At times my mind think about borrowing money and gamble. I'm keeping myself under control and hoping for better gambling days soon when my financial situation gets better.
You don't need to borrow money to gamble because it will only give you problems, especially since your income is not enough to meet your other needs. You have to think more about meeting more important needs than just gambling. Moreover, it's okay if you don't gamble this holiday because you can go back to gambling whenever you want, of course, after you have enough money to use for gambling. By not gambling at this time, you can spend time hanging out with your family, providing quality time for you and your family. It's good if you can control yourself by not gambling because you don't have money.
1858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: January 03, 2024, 08:27:51 AM
That makes sense, maybe it's true that they don't see other things that give the same pleasure, and indeed in my opinion there are still many other things that are more fun that don't require money to get pleasure. In my opinion, if they are already heavily addicted to gambling, of course their lives will be destroyed, because people who are addicted to gambling tend to only think about gambling and maybe they always prioritize gambling in their lives, and of course prioritizing gambling is not a good thing, because like that it will make them only focus on gambling, even if they don't have enough money but they will try something to be able to make money so they can do gambling again.

I think the main thing is to have your own awareness, before your family or friends who provide support, I think that's the main thing.
That's because they can no longer feel the pleasure of other things and only think that gambling can provide that enjoyment and pleasure. However, if they are willing to stop for a while and do other things well, they might be able to feel that there is a pleasure to be had when they do other things. And if they do other things more often, they will abandon gambling to do those things more often. At that time, their focus will begin to shift and maybe they will try to start reducing their gambling activities because they have found something different that can also provide fun and enjoyment.

They will also see that they can save money when they do other things and can use the money to buy food to enjoy with the people around them or their friends. This will give them another "taste" so that they will slowly change and reduce their gambling activities.
1859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: January 03, 2024, 07:57:18 AM
Gambling is fun for the people who can fund their habit on playing any games they want without worrying for their essential needs later when they lose their budget money for playing. But it's a different stories for those who get addicted and play as there is no tomorrow for them because it always ends up in regret once they have no longer the means to play anymore and at the same time to buy their essential needs in their life.

I agree with what you said, gambling is fun for people who control themselves when it comes to gambling, know what they are doing and consider this game as a game, not a source of income. If you have money to support your habit and have a budget, I think you won't have any problems, win or lose, just enjoy the game, but it's even better if you win.
Indeed, people should treat gambling as a fun activity and not an activity to make money. However, this is not the case for other gamblers who still want to try to make money from gambling because they still feel they will have good luck in making money. They should be able to see that they can't do it, especially for those who have experienced a losing streak that caused them to lose a lot of money.

We don't lie to ourselves by saying that gambling is entertainment because that's what it should be. But we lie to ourselves when we say we can win in the next round even though we don't know anything and there is still a possibility that we will lose in the next round. It happens to many gamblers who do not think clearly about what gambling is and still consider gambling as a place to make money.
1860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health concern on: January 03, 2024, 07:27:07 AM
It must be said that if it weren't for gambling, we would still have many other things around that affect our health. I can feel the OP's story but it's not everything that exists in the gambling. Looking at this issue from the perspective of a patient, what you need to do is protect your own health, not equate it with activities surrounding it.

You're correct as we have other activities that are affecting our health more worse than gambling, gambling affect eyesight as you spend hours looking at the screen of your devices use in gambling but there's trading that also affect your eyesight more worse as many individuals spend more time trading too. Gambling can affect our mental health when we lose money and trading too can do the same as we also lose money trading as much as we lose money gambling.

Everything we do can affect our health therefore we're to take care of our health as we can't stop doing everything we do to get money to spend for our expenses or having entertainment. When we visit the doctor regularly we'll be aware of our health challenges and can take the best precaution to avoid collapsing and dying or having other risky health challenges that'll be dangerous to our life.
People who go to the doctor regularly should already know what they can and cannot do to take care of their health. If the doctor says that we should not experience excessive shock, we should stop gambling so that we don't experience excessive shock because it can cause problems with our health. But there are still stubborn gamblers who don't want to obey what their doctor says and think they are still healthy. But when they get too much of a shock while gambling, that's when their heart can't stand it and ultimately makes them lose their lives in the casino. This could lead to the casino being blamed for allowing customers with heart disease to gamble even though the casino doesn't know anything about the customer's health history.

We have to think about our health and not other people, and we often gamble, so maybe it's time for us to really reduce our gambling activities so that we can enjoy life well. After all, there is nothing wrong with reducing gambling if it is for our health, especially if we still want to live longer and still want to fight to recover from the disease.
