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

That open communication can speed up the process, even how tough it is but if both sides are willing to work hand in hand that addiction can be eliminated in a much quicker time frame, I see that there are addicted gamblers who are always denying that problem making it hard for someone to give the help that they needed. If they can just let it go and try to do other things that may divert their attentions, other activities can lead them away from any gambling related practices. Creating open communication will require awareness from the gambling addict to want to open himself up and accept the presence of other people who will help him cure his gambling addiction. But if a gambling addict denies and doesn't want to admit that he has a gambling addiction, it certainly won't work and he will still have difficulty curing his gambling addiction. His denial may prevent other people from knowing what a gambling addict should do and how to help him. But it will depend on the people who want to help him because if they still care about the gambling addict, they will try various ways to divert his attention to gambling. Maybe they won't do it openly because it can keep gambling addicts away. But they will use other approaches to make the gambling addict aware that he has other things he can do.

If a person wants to become a gambling expert, say at poker, he must learn more about the game of poker. During the learning process, he must also practice what he has learned to know which parts must be improved or developed. But some people can learn many things at once and can do it. But to win a gambling game may require other things, including luck.
And maybe it's better to learn one type of gambling game until you really master it than to learn many gambling games. Perhaps that will confuse you about what to learn first, and if that happens, you won't focus on the game but will want to win as many games as possible.

I don't agree with you, as far as I know, no parent wants their child to gamble, let alone accompany their child to gamble. Because gambling for children is very vulnerable to their future development. Because if you can't control the negative impacts of gambling then you will become lazy at work and quite a few will steal. The last sentence is correct, children should not be introduced to gambling games because gambling games are not for children. Because if they are addicted to gambling games then their mindset will be difficult to improve. They can no longer be advised by friends, relatives or even their own family to stop. One way to stop an addicted person is to separate them from the internet, accounts, cell phone, etc. And also the mindset of gamblers, if they lose they will not blame themselves but the environment around them. Indeed, no parent wants their child to gamble. But we don't know that there might be parents out there who don't mind seeing their children gambling because they always supervise their children when gambling. They do this so that their children can learn about self-control when gambling and not exceeding their limits. The last sentence clarifies the first sentence so that children are not introduced to gambling games, which will be better for children. To cure someone addicted to gambling, we must go through various methods because we may still be looking for which method can work for them. This requires attention from the family to always monitor family members so they can realize that something is different from usual. By understanding those who still frequently gamble, it might be possible to make them aware to reduce their gambling activities.

You are right in that people don't want to talk about their addictions, even if they have control over it. For example, it is not socially accepted to say that you like to smoke marijuana to relax or that you drink beer every day after work. People don't like that kind of thing. It's the same with gambling addiction. People won't understand you even if you play casino games once a week just to have fun. That's because they don't want to see people have negative opinions about what they do, so they will hide their gambling activities from other people. Apart from that, by hiding their gambling activities, they will enjoy their relaxing moments by gambling and will not hear negative opinions from the people around them. ~snip~
Why wouldnt I want someone to find out that I am gambling. I have noticed that evaluation of gambling in topic " never gamble in front of the kids". People consider gambling as something negative. When we hear gambling, first things we think are something illegal, crimital, addiction, loosing money. My vision is different, it is a way to spend time and have fun. I've tried to convince people, that gambling does not equal bad. But its is hard to do that. For me, gambling = fun. I get some relax while gambling. I dont have a single bad memory about gambling (I dont even feel bad for long time when I lose). It was always smiling, laughter and joking. So why would I hide it, be shamed of it, hide it from kids and etc, as if I am doing something bad. It's okay if you think like that because we have our own desires or different wishes. So that's what I noticed in the environment around me because many people still think gambling is something negative, which makes people still hide their gambling activities. So they feel that it would be better for them to do that rather than have something that makes them uncomfortable, especially in their relationships. They will not have problems hiding their gambling activities if they can or have good self-control. So it is normal for people who do not want to show their gambling activities to other people because some considerations cause them to do such things. ~snip~
When it comes to keeping our gambling habits a secret, we should try and consider some factors before going ahead with our decision on wether good to keep it secret or not. For instance, anyone that's not good in controlling his emotions isn't supposed to keep his gambling habits to himself because when the person lose huge sum of money and can't control his emotions over it, he's likely to gamble more and more in his bid to make sure that he recovers his money and most times they lose more instead of recovering. But if he had informed people around him of his gambling habit, they'll help in regulating him and know when he's doing more than he should do Therefore, if someone can control their emotions well, they will not experience any problems related to their gambling activities. The person hides his gambling activities for various reasons that he may not be able to say, which is normal for him. Maybe other people couldn't accept it because the reasons he would explain would be different. But maybe he could tell other people about his gambling activities if he was okay with it. The important thing is whether he will tell about his gambling activities or hide it from others, he must have good self-control while gambling so that he will not get into any trouble.

Well, this is not something you can just conclude because because its like a coin with two sides, for some, they indeed might experience a long losing streak but when luck hits, they end up winning an amount of money that is far greater than what ever amount the gambler have spent while losing. at least, I have seen this happen with several gamblers, most especially in slot or casino games when the gambler luckily get a very nice multiplier. And concerning the adage that we should only gamble with the amount of money we can afford to lose, this is one major rule every gambler must adhere to and obey, its very important not to over gamble no matter the reason for our gambling, for I personally know that, majority of gamblers out there do gamble solely for the purpose of winning money I return, while its just a very number of gambler that actually gamble for the fun of it. Knowing this makes us be more careful when gambling and not exceed our set limits. Maybe that's something we should always remember because only by doing that can we still enjoy gambling and won't gamble excessively like other people. But it is very rare to find a gambler who has experienced a fairly large losing streak but can get his big win by getting bigger money than the previous loss. Most gamblers experience losses much greater than their wins, so it would be better if they could stop gambling for a while to calm down and accept their losses. Indeed, some gamblers can get big wins after suffering quite big losses, and we know that. ~snip~
Usually, if a gambler increases his bet because he lost, he uses the martingale strategy because that is the only strategy that novice gamblers usually use to recover from their losses, but in the end, this method will also be defeated by consecutive losses, especially since you have to have large enough capital to carry out this strategy. because if you use small capital it will be very difficult. Actually, the correct way is to set a budget for gambling so that it does not exceed the budget limit provided, sometimes people feel that it is not important even though it is very important to make it an alarm, if we can limit the budget of course we can also determine the number of bets that we can play at a time. gamble. always remember that the dealer will always win, don't be focused and ambitious about winning big money, enjoy the game and consider winning as a bonus However, gamblers who use the martingale strategy must remain careful because it will not always work for them. The capital they use will also be greater than before, while the losses will also be greater. So they have to measure their financial capabilities so they don't spend much money on gambling. Yes, setting a budget for gambling is what we have to do so that we don't exceed the limits and we can be on the right path in gambling. And we can also prevent losses that might be even bigger. We must remember that gambling is not a place to make money. The casino will always win and earn big money. If we can win, that is a bonus we should be grateful for.

I don't agree with the generalization that women always pay attention to expenses and women are always considered responsible for expenses, even though this factor depends on the individual. I even noticed that many women are very wasteful in managing their finances, they buy expensive things and even things they rarely use. However, if the comparison scale is towards gambling then I agree with the opinion that women always calculate the expenses in every bet, statistically the female gender is less involved in gambling activities, they may not be interested in bets that do not guarantee a profit, they like realistic income from other jobs . Perhaps that's what you see in your environment, and it's different from what I see in my environment because where I live, women always think about and try to be responsible for their expenses. They are not wasteful in spending their money, especially shopping online, because they know that nowadays things are difficult and making money is difficult. So they have to always calculate or manage their expenses every day. And I also rarely see women gambling, but I don't know if they gamble online. However, it does not rule out the possibility that women could become more wasteful because these possibilities can be experienced by everyone, including men and women.

You have a very good point, promotions and bonuses , no matter how juicy it is or maybe, should never be a reason why a gambler should rush into signing up and depositing money, and playing on a casino they know nothing about, this absolutely should not be so. As gamblers, for the safety of our money at least, it is very important to do our due diligence on any casino we are interested in playing on, most especially if the casino is a new one, scammers knowing that bonuses and promotions are one of the easiest ways to lure gamblers into signing up on a casino and depositing without researching, would most of the time setup casinos for no other purpose other than to steal money from who ever becomes their victim. This is one of the reasons why we should never neglect the place of research, and never trust a casino if they offer bonuses that are too good to be true. And coming back to KYC, i personally believe that it will be of great help if after signing up on a new casino, we reach out to the customer care of such casino to find out what their terms on KYC is, even if we have read it in their terms of service, having the customer care repeat their terms in chat can sure give some confidence, so that if after depositing and playing, and upon withdrawal, they try to do anything stupid, we can immediately hold them by their words . Looking for more information about the casino before we register is something we should do. This is also aimed at all gamblers who have yet to find a casino to gamble at so they can avoid the scams we have heard about from various shady casinos. It's okay if we can't find the right casino. That's because we don't want to experience bad things later, and we also want to ensure that we actually get the right casino. And when we start to find several casinos, we have to test them before actually using the casino to gamble. We can deposit a small amount of money and play for a while, but remember, we should not be triggered by anything, including promotions that the casino might give to its new members. We must always be alert because scam casinos will give their new members attractive bonuses so they can deposit more money to gamble. With that research, we can find the right casino, especially for us, because our choices will be different from other people's. And don't just follow what other people suggest to us without researching it first because what other people think is suitable doesn't mean it will also be suitable for us. And for KYC, it is our choice. If we have found comfort in gambling at the casino, we will want to do KYC because the casino has provided satisfactory service. But perhaps it won't be suitable for other people because they won't find the same comfort as us.

Beginner gamblers are usually given a win at the start. This method can be called an inducement for beginners to continue playing. It sounds tricky, but that's gambling, the gambling platform must have used tactics so that they don't experience big losses. Small wins can trigger beginners to continue carrying out their activities. So the small winnings given by the gambling platform don't mean anything because the gambling platform will experience bigger profits from the promotions they carry out. Beginners are more easily tempted, so the initial problem of gambling addicts also starts from here, they are also beginners, after finding out that the game is fun and can make money, they will continue to try it until they become addicts, in contrast to those who already have enough gambling experience and are already familiar with the world of gambling. For a long time, they will not be easily tempted by promotional promotions in gambling because they already know how the gambling platform works. That's how it is. If they can't control themselves in the first moments of gambling, they will only regret it if they have started gambling for a while. We must not let ourselves get too deep into gambling, and even though there are very attractive promotions given to us, we must be able to filter them so that we do not follow all the promotions because they require more money. Getting a small win doesn't mean we will get it continuously at the next opportunity to gamble, but we can experience loss. And when we are lucky at the start of our gambling, that is a good thing, but we have to keep controlling ourselves so we don't experience big losses. Newbie gamblers need to realize this and will return to the casino another day with more money. They seem to have prepared everything before gambling for the second or third time because they still want to win again. But they should realize they are playing gambling where they cannot always win. And don't be easily tempted by the promotions given by gambling because they have to calculate their budget for gambling.

That's the way it should be, whether they are young or old, they should be able to realize it so that they can make precautions or reduce and basically some restrictions that should be done. Honestly I don't care if they are old or young, in gambling they are the same and it all depends on themselves and their own personalities. We can't assume that those who are older are mature in their thinking and choices, it won't always be like that even though our assumptions usually say that older must be more mature. And that's the wrong thought, they make a mindset that will indirectly make themselves trapped or create a trap for themselves. So before gambling or getting into gambling it's better to do your research first, if you can't withstand all the risks that are there I think it's better not to do it because it will only make it worse and add to the problem. There is no difference when they gamble because the only difference is how they can control themselves in gambling. They are not responsible gamblers if they are older but cannot control themselves. But some people are younger but can control themselves well, prevent themselves from losing a lot, and become responsible gamblers. That's what every gambler needs as long as he gambles, and if they can't do it, they will only experience a lot of losses while they can't win. This mindset does not depend on a person's age but on how a person can respond to what must be done rather than just pursuing or following their desires. ~snip~
I know how hard it is to get our minds around gambling especially if you're already in the addiction phase, it's very difficult, your logic and greed will keep arguing between the facts and the uncertain expectations. I hope you can give your logic a little time to think realistically that this is gambling to test your luck, nothing more than that and don't overdo it if you want to survive until the end of the journey. It is very difficult to control our thoughts if we have a gambling addiction. We will not see what gambling addiction, greed, logic and others are because we only think about gambling, winning and enjoying it. We won't think anything other than that. Yes, this is gambling. We don't need to test our luck by continuing to play because that could cause us to experience a lot of losses. ~snip~ For the problem of whether or not they are firm in applying self-control, I think it's true that it will come back to themselves, only they know what they feel, every gambler has a different way, so that means they also have their own way to overcome it if they really want to stop. Of course, as I said before, there is no way they can instantly stop gambling especially for those who are already addicted. So a more effective alternative is that you have to start from now on to reduce it so that when you reach your target to stop you will have no difficulty stopping because your interest must have decreased to gamble. That is if they have their own way of controlling themselves. Each gambler knows how to control himself, but because they are covered by their ego and desire to win, they forget to control themselves. Someone who gambles for too long will not be able to remember when he has to stop because his goal of gambling is no longer to get pleasure but to win. That would be different from his original goal, and he would suffer more defeats. And when the money was gone, he realized he had made a fatal mistake.

Definitely, genuinely! Who wants to take a chance with shady casinos, you ask? All of us are here in hopes of winning the big prize at a respectable casino. You're absolutely right; although it's wonderful that regulators are keeping a watch, we also need to keep our own eyes peeled. Double the alertness, double the security, correct? Now, about spending big money... Why draw attention from the casino by flashing the cash? Play it smart, play it cool. Furthermore, isn't it reassuring to know that you're at a place where everyone is looking out for you? Together, we will share our favorite locations and steer clear of those annoying mistakes. So why search elsewhere when here is the place to get the best advice? However, don't we find it amusing that despite having our favorite locations, we're still here chit-chatting? What the heck is that about? Yes, you said it right, and that is what we should do in gambling. When we gamble at famous casinos, we will not experience any problems. But when we gamble in shady casinos, it's only a matter of time before we encounter problems. As long as we don't arouse any suspicion from the casino, we can enjoy our gambling activities well, and there won't be any problems. We are lucky to get these famous and popular casinos from this forum because we share these casinos so that we all don't experience bad things. But even so, we must limit the use of money for gambling rather than losing money at the gambling table because we have lost it.

When gambling, we need good self-control so as not to spend too much, and we already know the adage of only using the money we can afford. If you have experienced a losing streak, you should stop because it can affect your emotions. Later, you will not be able to stop before you win. But even though you win, you still lose because if you count everything, you will see that the amount you lose will be greater than the wins you have obtained.
Determining the betting amount is something every gambler needs to pay attention to. If you start betting with small money, use it every time you bet and don't increase your bets just because you lose. But if you experience a losing streak, you are not having good luck, so you have to stop first.

...... I'm also curious why some members think that women are less risk takers than men! Are there any reliable studies which support such claims?
Women may actually take less risk than men. Men can easily control themselves when they lose a gamble, but women don't seem to control themselves easily when they lose a gamble. Gambling is usually played for entertainment, but the goal is to make money. Although many people gamble for fun, most people gamble with the hope of winning money. Gambling definitely requires money. Gambling is very risky, gambling loses money and it is better not to gamble. Most of the women in the world do not gamble, those who gamble should gamble with a cool head. Care must be taken that a woman who gambles for fun does not become addicted to gambling. Where I live no women gamble, take other means of entertainment. It is better for women to stay away from gambling. Women will consider it first before deciding. Often, they take longer than men. And they also don't dare to take big risks, which makes women always careful in their actions. This is different from men who seem to be in a hurry to decide everything so that men will be at greater risk than women. But not all men are like that because there are men who can also be careful in deciding things. And because it is gambling, perhaps fewer women will gamble than men because of the fear of experiencing big losses in gambling for women.

I remember a casino that had it written on their homepage that there is no KYC for crypto gamblers, but then they were asking for KYC when users were trying to make withdrawals. So it's basically wrong if they are saying openly that they don't ask for KYC and then they ask for it, it simply is manipulation and lying which shouldn't be done and it also damages the reputation of the platform because the whole public has seen them promoting that thing.
However, if they are not saying anything about KYC, it simply means that they have a clause about it in their terms and conditions and players should give it a read before getting involved as the platform will most probably ask them for KYC verification at some point because they haven't mentioned that they won't ask for it.
That often happens to new casinos. That's why we really have to look for more information about the casino so that we feel free of the information from the casino. We can ask about this through the support service or email the casino for a more detailed explanation. It's better if they write the rules on another page that the casino can ask users to do KYC at any time, even at the beginning of registration. We as gamblers, also have to ensure everything before we decide to register at the casino. And don't rush to register just because we see a very interesting promotion and don't want to be late to get it. There are still many other interesting promotions we can get so we have to ensure everything first rather than regret it later.

When I discuss day trading, I mean those who buy and sell daily, akin to high-frequency trading. This contrasts with longer-term strategies where you can wait out unfavorable prices. In day trading, swift decisions are vital due to daily market fluctuations. This rapid pace inherently increases the risk, as opposed to the more patient approach of holding assets longer-term. Thus, day trading, given its unpredictable nature within short time frames, can feel a lot like a gamble.
Speed in making decisions must be accompanied by the ability to analyze well so that we can enter or exit trades on time. Those who buy and sell every day must have analytical skills to find the coins and make a profit. But most people don't want to learn analysis and only depend on other people. This will make trading like gambling because they do not have a basic analysis determining when they enter and exit. And if they stay like that, they are just gambling in the market because they don't know how to find the coins and are just waiting for what other people suggest. That's what we have to avoid if we want to trade.

Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone
This is another way to have a second-hand innovation because if you are with a friend who is also an expert in gambling, he will bring a suggestion that might be helpful for you. That is why you need to keep friends who know more than you to avoid falling into wrong conclusions or getting yourself into depth. Don't call a friend who is an expert in gambling, but look for a neutral friend who can listen to your story and provide a solution. It will help you to tell him about your problems. And we need to keep friends who know more about us so that they can immediately come and help us if we encounter difficulties. We must have the initiative to open ourselves up to other people so they can find out what is going on with us. They can also provide us with solutions so that we can start reducing our gambling activities. And we should be frank with them so that there are no misunderstandings between us, especially if we expect help from them.

You can risk your funds, losing them to these casino, because you don't understand how these games are played.
Is the concept of a casino game referring to the games offered, or is it the cunning maneuvers behind the scenes of the casino? If we focus on the games themselves, someone who cannot partake in casino games might simply be a newcomer to the world of gambling, and I presume they are not wagering large sums of money. That's perfectly fine as long as they are in the phase of assessing their chances of winning. Many seasoned gamblers undoubtedly possess extensive experience. Even those who have been indulging in their favorite games for years are well-versed in their pursuits and have a solid grasp of their odds of success. I rarely encounter a gambler who is incapable of playing at a casino, except for newcomers. Usually, newcomers place small bets first to get used to gambling games. Once he gets used to it, he may deposit more money than before. This curiosity will exist in novice gamblers, especially those who have experienced defeat at the beginning of their gambling. Casinos know this, so they will continue to provide promotions to attract those newbie gamblers back and spend more money. Only novice gamblers who want to gamble moderately will not be interested because they know gambling is not a place to make money. Newcomers to gambling may not deposit money straight away. They will probably see the gambling games and find out how they can deposit money to play. Once they get to know the casino well, they will gamble more often, which usually triggers them to become addicted to gambling.

Indeed, investing in crypto is less risky than putting your money into gambling. Gambling relies purely on luck, as you mentioned whereas trading allows for better control over potential losses. Even in the worst-case scenario of trading you wouldn't necessarily lose all your money, but it might decrease. To be safe in gambling you need to be wise and know exactly when to stop. It's important aswell not to exceed a limit of money you set before even starting to bet. Obviously, if you gamble less you'll lose less in the worst cases. Therefore, it's better to minimize your gambling activities but when you do gamble make sure you have a good chance to win. If they understand it, they prefer investing in less risky cryptos rather than gambling. They can see the value of their investment will increase when the market starts to move upwards, so they can start taking profits. And this will divert their attention to gambling because they will be busy analyzing how much profit they want to make. But in gambling, if they lose, they really lose their money and will find it difficult to recover their losses. But if they can control themselves so they don't cross the line, they won't experience a bigger defeat. They can also gamble moderately and enjoy gambling properly. ~snip~
I think the case is often so as described in the quotes for gamblers who thinks it's by there efforts or how knowledgeable they are to the games. In that instance, they seem to eliminate the element of luck, take huge risks or high odds and expect huge rewards as well. Many times over they end up worst than they started but the little thing called hope pulls them back to it everytime. Of course there could be such a thing as how knowledgeable you are when it comes to sportsbook but, not so much when it comes to casino games and even still, there is an element of luck about the games. That puts the probability statement in the way which means, you've got to be careful about the habits you endulge in while gambling. That's because they think the hope of winning will always be there and call them to gamble again. That's what makes them return to gambling and still want to win. And even if they can't win this time, they will return a few days later and play another gambling game. They still feel they can win one day so they will spend the same money another day. And if they want to bet on sports betting, they realize the need for knowledge to analyze matches to find the team that can win. This makes them continue to learn to analyze from various sources, but they also realize that the luck factor is still needed in gambling games.

We all like advancing people to gamble responsibly but it's not that easy for many people out there, some people are better off with gambling, they are the type that get addicted to anything they do, such people have to stay away from gambling because no matter how hard they try to gamble responsibly they will go off the safe route and cross the boundary, especially if they are winning more often than they used to.
More winning can trigger gambling addiction in such people than others, the truth is addiction is addiction and no one is special when it comes to fighting addiction, even if you lock an addicted gambler in a strong cell for many years, how about the mind? They can just start feeding the habit in person, which is why I believe that stopping gambling addiction starts from your mind.
You have to reject gambling from the mindset, and your actions will stay off gambling, whatever a human plans to do comes from the mind first, the rest is base on time to carry out the action, it can be in seconds, minutes, hours, or even years.
The important thing is that we have provided useful suggestions for them. If they can't do it, that's up to them because they should be responsible for themselves when gambling. And we also can't force them to follow what we suggest because they have their own desires. Getting more wins can trigger gambling addiction because they will think that they can win one more time. But that doesn't guarantee they can win the next round, so they must be aware of what they are doing. And if they are already addicted to gambling, they will not be able to realize that it is too late. But even if they realize too late that they are addicted to gambling, they can still reduce their gambling addiction. That's why we have to manage our thoughts so that we don't think about gambling all the time, especially if we realize that we have other things to do.

"Gambling in peace" - why not just ask not to bother you for couple of hours, because you will be busy and need concentration? Think about secret habit in different way. If it is in secret, then no one will be able to help you if you have troubles. I remember someone was mentioning addiction, and now you say that hiding that you gamble is good. Isnt it a first to addiction? They will not disturb us when we are in the room and say I am working on something and we can also ask them not to disturb us for a few hours. Now imagine if you have good self-control but don't want anyone to know you are gambling. Does that constitute gambling addiction? We are all addicted to gambling by always returning to the casino and playing various gambling games. However, we refuse to be called gambling addicts because we can still control ourselves. We also don't use too much money for gambling. We hide our gambling activities from other people because we don't want to hear negative feedback from them about what we do in gambling. That's because we feel we can still control ourselves well while gambling. But if it's different for you, that's okay.
