IMO, it's better not to rely on these experts predictions and have your own analysis or understanding about the game that you're going to play. This way, you don't have to blame others if what you expected didn't happened. Because these experts are not so reliable, what I mean they can't be accurate all the time. Because if this is the case then they can make themselves rich for being at the winning side. So don't rely too much because in gambling you still need luck.

That's true. It would be wise to have a signed agreement with a collateral so just incase something unexpected happened, the lender can still get his money even after the death of the borrower. Because the debt can't be pass to the relatives unless the person has a properties left then that's where they'll get the money to be use to pay the loan. I'm not certain if this is the legal way but here this is what's happening. Especially if the lender can present an evidence that the person really have a loan from him before his passing.

Probably he gamble believing he can double his money in snap. Then keep on betting to recover the losses until he lost all his funds. But as a guy with a family to feed, this action is really a negligence on his side for spending all of his salary in gambling. Regardless of the reason (and if he's addicted or not) he should know what to prioritize first, just shows how irresponsible he is.

Well, not just in gambling, any form of addiction is not good because every aspect of our lives will become affected. It is wrong to let yourself become addicted since gamblers who don't have control tend to do anything just to sustain their addiction. Those who end up as an addicted gamblers are probably having a hard time changing themselves because they already develop such habit, and can't be overcome just by yourself and seeking professional help is already needed. Anyway, if you don't want to become addicted, have discipline, don't be greedy and desire to win a huge amount.

As a main source of income? I don't think so and even others are fortunate to be lucky and win a decent amount, we know that's not the case for majority of gamblers. Therefore it's quite hard to make a living just by relying entirely on gambling. The reason why we often advice the gamblers to only use a spare money and have less expectation.

Gambling is not the answer to earn a stable income (that's the fact). If you're motivated that you can do it just because you see others won and became an instant rich, don't think the same fate will also happen to you because luck is still a major factor to win.

Basic computer knowledge is not hard to learn if the person has an interest. So it's not limited to online gambling. Just like my mother, a 71 year old, she don't know how to use smartphone at first because she's not taking time to learn on how to use it since she has no interest. But when she became interested on uploading random videos of her as a vlogger, it didn't took her so long to became a pro using her mobile phone (even her laptop too).

Thus, what i'm saying is, though online gambling is the reason for some elders to learn about computer, the point is it depends on their interest and it's not only about gambling. Because there are other reasons for them to exert an effort to learn if they find something where they're interested in.

Well, I envy those who became rich for winning in lottery. But then, I realized that it is not for everyone and having such mindset when you gamble is not a good idea. It can lead to addiction if you keep trying to achieve such goal. So even even if I want to, that's quite impossible.

I already set aside that eagerness and opted to play to have some fun using a small amount. Gambling is not the way to become rich. If you have such goal then strive and find a resources to make it happen.

They're not foolish and can be called a risk taker but, still, it is not advisable to borrow money to be able to gamble. Yes there's a possibility to hit a jackpot but what's the chances? Majority of gamblers are not fortunate and though there are some who made a decent profit, it is still not good to be too hopeful that same fate will happen to you.

Indeed. Don't ask for loan to sustain your gambling habit. Refrain from playing if you have no money because gambling is a game of luck. So it's better to gamble using your own money rather than asking for loan with a high expectation to win.

Losses can trigger a gambler to play again to recover what he lost with a high hopes to win. This mindset of a gambler who's unable to accept the result is not actually unusual since many gamblers are doing this believing it is the way to get their money back. One of the problem of gamblers who engage themselves in gambling not knowing the risk. Because if you know how gambling works and afraid to lose your money, then you'll not use a fund that you can't live without. Learn to control yourself by setting a limit if you don't want to face a serious problem due to your behavior towards gambling.

I agree. Some people are giving opinion based on their experience and they know the effect of gambling for a gambler who don't have self- control. It's understandable that's why we can't blame the gamblers who opted to keep their gambling activity away to the eyes of many to avoid judgement. In this case, the online casinos are the best option if one prefer to play in private without anyone seeing that he is a gambler.

A gambler with such behavior is probably experiencing a loss resulting to changes in his mood. We know if a gambler win, the mood is happy. While if you lose that's depressing especially if you are a type of gambler who can't accept losses.

This can also cause a trouble or a misunderstanding since a gambler who lost his money is already in bad shape and can trigger for him to start a fight. But this is still depends on the gambler itself on how he handle himself despite of the bad experience in gambling.

Same here. Minors are not allowed to gamble especially if they are wearing their school uniform. The betting/computer shop will be in trouble if they let these minors enter in their shop. Anyway, it's understandable for these younger ones to be curious in gambling (and probably many of us also experienced such when we're young) so we really can't blame them especially if there are betting shop allowing them to gamble.

The proper guidance of the parents about gambling can help them to better understand its risk and what it can do to a person if they let themselves be hooked at an early age.

You are fortunate to have a positive result. Because doing this is quite risky, it's either you'll recover back what you have lost or end up with nothing. Going all in is for gambler who can accept the outcome regardless of if it's a win or lose.

I already did this in slots and Baccarat but often the result is not what I'd like it to be. Thus, I prefer to go with the flow using my normal bet and not be in desperate.

Indeed. Just like other business, casino can also face losses and that is when many gamblers are hitting a jackpot (as you've said) and it's a problem if the casino can't sustain this situation. The reason why it is crucial to have a decent capital before starting to build your own platform (or any kind of business).

On the other side, due to house edge, casino has an advantage against their customers that's why gamblers are losing than winning. One of the reason why for us gamblers it's important to only use what you can afford to lose since winning is not guaranteed and it can disappoint a gambler if you have high expectation to win.

It's really sad to lose but that's part of gambling and a gambler should know this before deciding to engage himself. The problem is some gamblers became interested to play due to many advertisement showing a huge win that can attract people to try it for themselves. Then will be hopeful to win thinking it is quite easy after seeing the good side of being lucky. Not knowing many gamblers are just losing their money than gaining.

Thus, before trying to gamble your money, be certain that you are aware of the risk, prepared for the consequences just in case what you expected didn't happened and don't be greedy. If you lose accept it and move on.

It's already an emergency situation to save life, even someone is an anti-gambler, I don't think he/she will refuse the money if saving the life of a loved one is more important than anything else. In times like this, if it happened to me and i'm against those gamblers spending their money in gambling, I will also swallow my pride and belief just to save the life of a person who's dear to me. It's between life and death so certainly what you can only think of is how to get money to save the life of the person.

I don't agree. Addicted gambler can never be satisfied with small amount, they're called addicted for being out of control and no satisfaction. It's more disastrous since they can do everything (selling assets or doing things that are unimaginable) to feed their addiction.

Moreover, addicted gamblers are also greedy because they're also aiming to win huge. Thus, it's the same thing, but addiction for me is more disastrous.

No, it doesn't mean they lose all the time. But it's not the point, because regardless of they win or lose, an addicted gambler will still continue what they used to since it's already hard to stop. So it's not about winning or losing, because they're just like a normal gambler. The difference is, they're already out of control so they lose more for not having contentment and can play long hours to feed their addiction.

It can be treated as a hobby if you are entertained and making money is not really your desire. However, we know gambling can be addicting especially if a person is eager to win. Playing everyday is not safe if a gambler is already spending money beyond his set limit. I agree that it's better to find a hobby wherein you can gain skills or learn new things. Gambling on the other side would be fine as long as you just want to have fun and it doesn't affect you negatively.

It is stupid to use all the salary for gambling but in reality there are people who are insane doing this to feed their addiction. These people are out of control and an addicted gamblers already. Because if you're still playing in moderation, would you dare spend your salary in gambling and not prioritizing the important things? 5% would be enough for leisure if you're a type of gambler who are playing with a goal of having fun and not to make money.
