2061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: March 10, 2024, 07:41:18 PM
What is interesting to me is that many people talk more about Trump than the actual current president of the US.

Trump clearly has more popularity than the president himself, so based on that I think Trump will become the next president.
That was also the reason why he lost as well, hell he lost popular vote twice, exactly for that reason. If it was Biden vs someone like maybe Mitt Romney for example, it wouldn't even be a debate and Biden would have lost. The reason that Trump may end up losing, IS because he is talked about a lot more. There are some people who talk good about him, but there are plenty who talk bad about him too.

So, this much talk about him, his popularity, good or bad, ends up making people going to vote. Trump got the highest amount of voters of anyone ever up until 2020 elections, he got 74 million, by comparison, his previous one was 62 million, so he got 12 more million voters and highest Obama ever got was 69 million, with the "first black president" rush. You know why he lost? Biden got 81 million, a new record.

So, people still do tend to vote "not trump" option, it could be Biden, it could be you, it could be me, people just vote the "not trump" option. This much talk helps him as much as it hurts him too. No idea how it will turn out this time around, but 2020 was a bit hard. Biden ruling for four years may have made some people want to go back to Trump though, so we still have no idea.

I have seen the things that have been presented in the USA, on TV, some articles, I know that popularity is always a very good symptom in politicians, because people talk a lot about them, in that clearly Trump has gained a lot of ground, yes more popular than Biden himself, because I know that there are many Americans who do not agree with the mandate and how he has run the country currently, I don't know, but I think that things can take a new direction if they change president.

This is very normal to think, a change is always good, we all know that the USA has always had a strong country position, in fact since the 2nd World War the USA has shown incredible power and that it is a power in every sense, so Based on the fact that now there is a huge crime rate, there are economic problems, inflation is becoming an issue that they do not want to touch on, but it exists, these things tire citizens.

The problem of immigration has led to crime rates in the country, the fact that a citizen no longer feels so safe because of a foreigner is a problem that this country cannot afford, Trump represents the solution to these problems, because he already He said he was going to solve that problem, these little things, little details are what make the difference.
2062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is AI going to affect gambling in any way ? on: March 10, 2024, 07:28:17 PM
Artificial intelligence can be used on many levels beyond just being used by gamblers for profit. Artificial intelligence is also a possible way for gambling platform owners to provide a better gambling experience at a lower cost.
Artificial intelligence can help improve the efficiency of operations in online casinos by automating tasks such as customer service and financial processing, in addition to the possibility of using artificial intelligence to create new games with capabilities that were not previously available.
Artificial intelligence can also help detect fraud and prevent money laundering by analyzing betting patterns and identifying suspicious behaviour.

There are many options available to use artificial intelligence to further develop game algorithms and control systems. I think it is better to approach the issue from this angle, which is more important.
Gambling platforms must work to fortify their systems because if someone succeeds in finding a winning strategy using artificial intelligence, this poses a real danger to the entire sector.

Well, to be honest, when I go to the support of a casino or an exchange, it bothers me a lot that an AI attends to me, because for me it is a waste of time, because there are things that should only be attended to and supervised by a human, the AIs in support The general thing is to solve very simple tasks without complications, at least that is the type of AI that I have to deal with, therefore every time an AI assists me it is something that annoys and annoys me, because one is in a hurry and you want your problem to be Resolved as soon as Possible, so in that aspect I still do not agree that AI should be introduced as support, I know that it can be cheaper, but in a casino I consider that they should pay people to attention is as easy and fast as possible.

In other aspects of casinos, such as security, well, I don't know, AI is not yet developed as we sometimes imagine, they have many flaws, in fact an AI is very good help for programming engineers when they have doubts about how to do things. a type of code because it can function like an open book but you can say that it is not yet at the level of a human being, I say that AI is not yet Intelligence, but rather it takes certain patterns as basic rules that a machine can record , but it does not have consciousness, therefore it is not yet "intelligence" for me, I don't know, it's just my perception.

It is hard to believe that gambling can be stress free. But a gambler who can easily take the rate on his own will not see any major change in the gambler even if his financial situation changes. Because they can accept defeat. No one can give an exact idea about winning and losing in gambling. For many, the tension a gambler feels between winning and losing is key. I think a gambler can't be normal until he gets the results of his bets. As much as we say that gambling relieves stress it is not really true. Maybe the gambler gets into a lot of trouble in managing his personal life and temporarily forgets all about it when he engages in gambling. But that doesn't mean he can be stress free in gambling.
Gambling and stress are the complexities involved in assessing the emotional impact of gambling activities. If Gamblers acknowledge that winning and losing are unpredictable, they are better equipped to handle both positive and negative outcomes without significant emotional upheaval. The tension experienced by gamblers as they navigate the uncertainty of winning and losing plays a significant role in their emotional experience. This tension can be both exhilarating and anxiety-inducing, because gamblers grapple with the potential outcomes of their bets.

Gamblers may find it difficult to relax or feel "normal" until they receive the results of their bets implies the emotional investment involved in gambling. The anticipation and anticipation of outcomes can create a state of heightened alertness and emotional tension until the resolution of the gamble. Engaging in gambling may provide a temporary distraction from personal troubles, and they may temporarily forget their problems while immersed in gambling activities, but the underlying stressors remain unresolved and may resurface once the gambling session ends.


We as players, as humans, always have something to do with it, emotions, and those emotions are stress, fear and being upset, when we are stressed playing in a casino, at least for me things go very wrong, and That makes me upset twice as much because I lose more money. If I'm stressed or under a lot of pressure, I learned that I should play something that relaxes me, and that for me is the slots, the slots for me have a relaxing effect, it's like going to the studio to watching a soccer game, I enter another world where I forget about current problems, but yes, the most I put in to be able to relax in a slot is 10 usd, from there no more, in fact I see this as a service, Because every service must be paid for, and the cost for me of the service is 10usd, but if I start playing dice, with stress and pressure, that makes me worse, and I end up worse, at least that doesn't work for me. gain.

In my personal case, I must always play with my mind clear, without any type of negative thought or emotion, so I have more clarity in the things of the game and so I don't make mistakes, because sometimes one is stressed, under pressure, a mistake is like throwing out salt the wound, then my experience with the game becomes a nightmare, that's why I recommend whenever you can play, do it with a relaxed and calm mind, this will allow you to accept any result.
2064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How your feels? on: March 10, 2024, 06:50:53 PM
I think that if we are able to think about the Altcoins or the fractions of bitcoin that we have lost we will get very angry or we will simply start crying, I also Cannot help the way that sometimes one thinks about what they had lost in a casino for that moment, and if I had not risked or lost that money at that moment, if I had had it in hodl mode, what would it be like now? Although it is something that I do not recommend thinking about, because it is something very simple, things happened because they had to happen that way, there was no other way for them to happen, so there is nothing to regret because things happened that way, you must be aware that things What has happened in our lives was for something, we do not have to regret or think about something like that, it no longer makes sense, those losses in the casinos happened because we had to have learned something, if it had not happened at this moment, it would have happened to us at the same in this time, when bitcoin has more value and some altcoins that probably had more value now than at that time.

So given these circumstances, things must have a level of Acceptance , of Assuming our mistakes and that thanks to those mistakes they have turned us into the Players that we are today, even with flaws but with more wisdom and above all with more experiences, which is value a lot when playing, that's what matters, at least we can control that we no longer lose as much money as in those years.
2065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Couple won the jackpot but split soon after! on: March 10, 2024, 06:02:08 PM
People do really changed in a snap on the time that we do speak about huge money specially if we do speak about millions on which it isnt really that shocking that these kind of actions could really happen.
People do changed up instantly and doesnt matter about their relation into other people. Basing up into the situation then that guy wont really be having the rights considering that the funds been used owned by the girl then she does have the full rights in regarding on this one even if this case would be bring up into the legal aspect. The only sad thing on here is that why both come up on splitting up?
Due to greed and this is why they do really end up on having those arguments on whose the full rights with those amounts. 50.50 should be fine i guess but it seems that they dont
really like to have some split up with those money. lol

In my opinion, the reality is that money can change a person. by getting a big win or a large amount of money, of course it does influence thinking, usually people will experience changes when they have a lot of money. This is clearly a reality because in my environment there are cases like this too. People who get big wins tend not to care about relationships or anything else because they feel like they have a lot of money so they think they can have everything with the money they get. with them separating, perhaps because of their respective egos, which are both large, whereas they cannot take a better middle path, only thinking about their own egos, until the decision that occurs is separation.

It's true what you say, maybe it's because of their greed, but in my opinion, if the party who wins can share it well, in the sense that they are already in a serious relationship then everything should be done together. including the victory obtained, if it is discussed properly, perhaps there will be no separation. However, in reality, humans do have the nature of being greedy with their own portions, especially with money. When you have a large amount of money, change or selfishness will definitely emerge.

What you say is very true, in fact, there are people who care more about money than the love that another person may feel for them, for them money is more important, in fact I have a friend whose woman left him, she He went to the USA and the business they both had, what she did was steal everything from him, she left him bankrupt and with many debts, they had been together for 23 years, with children already of age, and she didn't care at all and left him, so These are the things that I don't understand, my friend in the middle of his sadness and anger told me that when men have money we think about our family, our wife and children, but when a woman has money she only thinks about herself, of course not. I told him nothing because the moment he was going through was not easy at all, he cried and told me that he felt like he was going to die, something that really hit him a lot, of course I understood that what he said about women was for a reason. act of rage and helplessness, I know that many of them are not like that. I told him that this would happen to him if he found another woman, but at that moment, my greatest joy was seeing him yesterday with another woman. He came to my house. and he introduced her to me and my wife and my 2-year-old daughter, at least if that relationship doesn't last, well it doesn't matter, you know that at this point you have already overcome the most difficult thing, even if it is with the help of that woman who is much more younger than him, he is 52, she is 32, some age difference, but I hope everything turns out well for them.

The difference is that she is from a wealthy family, and I don't think she is going to leave him for money, because she is a very humble person, so we have to learn these contrasts in life because money is not everything, being healthy. , life, family, are great treasures that they often have and do not value.
2066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Even as a sport fan be careful! on: March 10, 2024, 05:33:15 PM
Well, unfortunately this is something that we are always going to see in all our games, what surprises me is that in Europe there are these types of people, that personally I see European fans as more civil than any other part of the world, but Of course this is something that not everyone is equal in a society, in every society there are always people who will actually stand out but on the bad side, it is very unfortunate that there is violence thanks to a sport, if this had happened in my country they would sanction the stadium and They sanction the team, either to remove points or suspend the team for a few games, because this is a behavior that should not be allowed, I understand the adrenaline, but fighting among themselves is not going to make the team win or change the situation. marker, violence will never be the right way to do things.

In a local game where I live, I had to go to the brava bar, to South and my team lost, so they were on fire and one of them got the idea that they had to go burn the other team's fans, at that moment I went into action and told them that if they were crazy, or if they were Indians, or if they had fallen asleep, what's wrong with them, they are people, they are human beings, and besides, they are families with children, what's wrong with them, try to burn to people so that they would put them in prison later, fortunately things turned out well and they did nothing, but there were many of them with that idea, fortunately they did not turn against me, because there were like 20 crazy people, I would not have had the opportunity to defend myself.
2067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your go-to sports betting risk management strategies? on: March 10, 2024, 05:12:21 PM
Yes, I agree, sometimes we have to watch a match and not place any bets because when we place bets we hope to see wins however if we aren't sure about a match's result or even if odds aren't helping us then in that case we should avoid betting at any cost. Sports betting can be very valuable but we have to find out how it works properly and we must have to follow some good strategies or make our own strategies to have more wins as compared to losses.
Strategies worked for different gamblers. Don't compare but look forward to earn more from the system, as long as you're working harder than before. Our risks management should be the first thing to observed about the gambling system and ensure things falls according to plan. Sport betting is a risky activity to get indulged but the brilliant and lucky ones have a spot of milking the system. Gambling is not by force or persuasion, everyone have their legal rights of either rejecting Gambling or embracing them because there's more to secure than that.

It is very true, the truth is that in sports betting I believe that a person who does it has to have a lot of knowledge to do it, it is something logical that will always be associated with an apparent risk, the mere fact of betting is already a risk, it is the money is there ready for anything to happen, there are only two possibilities: winning or losing, and if it is losing what must be assumed is that loss as something normal, sometimes sports betting is compared to the activity of a casino , which includes roulette, slot machines, among other things, and for me it is clearly easier to win at sports betting than at casino games associated solely with luck.

Sports betting is a way to take our game to a new level, because it is already measured in monetary terms, if we think about it, it is our responsibility to win or lose, I see it as commerce, if we lose or win it is because of our decision, and that in itself has to do with many things, for example, if we bet with a lot of technical knowledge, having studied each player, each possible strategy, then this is something that seems more professional than betting simply on what we see on TV. or contribute because I like a particular team or because I think they are going to win, or what is seen in the bets on an internet site. In statistics, the majority of bets go towards a very biased side, it can also happen that There is always something extraordinary that can happen, and it is what many call “a little luck” and it should not be ruled out, but you also have to consider what scenario, but for me there are more chances of winning in sports betting than in games. normal casino.
2068  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: March 10, 2024, 04:54:29 PM
However, although gambling addicts are usually terrible, there are many people today who are irresponsibly gambling only and are destroying their families and society. Because gambling usually leads people to ruin but there are many gamblers out there gambling for fun. A man I know who ruined his family by gambling and sold lots of land is now a carefree single. He roams the streets and is now a fugitive in debt due to his gambling losses, so gambling is generally good as well as bad but not addictive.

Gamble and don't be an addictive one because it will definitely ruined one's reputation in the system. We're not gods but humans in the real world, moreover we can be taking extra bold steps in making sure we start earning from the system with appropriate means, I'm talking about tremendous winnings. Why expose your gambling activities when you can be milking the system in mute phase. I'm just here to gather the extra change I can be able to lay my hands on and never doubt the act of losing heavily in the system.
I think this depends on human nature itself because sometimes there are people who are addicted to gambling places, but they can control that feeling and keep their addiction a secret from gambling places. At least gambling places can be used to find pleasure, even though they have a system that cannot guarantee profits for the players.

Or maybe they want to hide their activity because they have a judgemental family members or friends who always critisize them once they knew that they are doing gambling activity. you know? it can't be avoided especially nowadays, usually our elderly relatives are the ones who can judge us too much but once they are the ones who need financial help, they will also come to you.
I don't agree with the word judgment. but it's more appropriate to criticize. The fact is that whether you are a relative or friend, you will definitely view gambling activities as bad. So when we find out that we are doing this activity, we will definitely be criticized like the basic gamblers who always spend money. and other words.

If you judge more, don't gamble, because it can make you bankrupt. Yes, there is, but it seems that this applies to families who are very close to us and don't want us to fall into the world of gambling which is said to be misleading.
Sometimes people cannot be bothered in the eyes of others by criticizing them or speaking badly about them, because we are people who make mistakes, I am very closed when it comes to judging someone, because in part not judging anyone is because one as a person There should not be so many faults, errors or things that condemn us, what happened to the man who sold all his land leaving his family with nothing and wandering the streets, sadly this happened to him because he did not know how to control his emotions, ourselves During the game, emotions make us think and do things that we shouldn't and we let ourselves be carried away by all the impulses and in the casino things will always go in favor of the casino, because they always have the house advantage, and that is what Addicted players forget, because the addicted player always has the option of winning in their mind, it is very positive, what they do wrong is that they cannot control their own capital.

These types of events lend themselves to people starting to see things differently, in a way of gossiping, in a way of judging, and I think we all have straw tails that can be lit with a simple spark, so I consider than before judging. We have to look in the mirror and see how many mistakes we always make.
2069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Simple mistake that makes you lose everything on: March 10, 2024, 04:39:20 PM

I’m sure many players here experience this kind of minor mistakes that resulted to terrible outcome. Share your story and let’s have fun hearing it. I hope there’s no BS story…
Well, I can relate; we sometimes or often fear losing (depends on your case as a gambler, some are just fine as long as it is under their risk appetite). Fear results to hesitation which makes us change our mind with our bets. Regrets will only take place whenever the unwanted happens and that is a normal thing however, if it is the wanted outcome then you'll have a different response. I don't engage with card games and other casino games. Even in sports betting, this is evident and in my case is with matches I did not bet but had my 'pick assumption' on who or which team would win, and eventually turning out to be a winning bet. What I do is to just accept things. It is just only the idea that winning is just hard to achieve in our gambling careers which makes us frustrated of such instances. It is not also losing everything, but just losing the opportunity to win.

This makes me remember that there are people who when they dream of a number and it falls into the lottery and they don't play it, this is something very common that sometimes cannot be done, so if one takes it to the level of reality it is Another thing, what I have had are errors in the dice, sometimes playing very late at night and lying down, I have fallen asleep and slept, my fingers move on their own and in one of those I bet half of my balance, luckily in that At the moment I didn't win, but things have happened to me that are inexplicable, but I didn't play the trading game, which I made a 1-minute operation and instead of placing 4000COP, I placed 40,000COP and I lost that, although it is not a game that I took it as if it were a game, and from that loss I have not been able to recover today.

In the game things have turned out differently , because it happened to me playing sots, I always make the minimum bet and then increase it with the option of a bonus, at that time to play fast instead of pressing the button to put it higher and with the option to bonus or free spins, what I did was double it twice and those two times I trusted my balance for the slot, then I was bored, from that experience I conclude that one should be more patient when playing, not do it so fast and above all not to play so quickly and uncontrollably thinking that you know everything, you feel very bad for losing money through such a stupid way.
2070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have this practice of gambling during one's wake on: March 10, 2024, 04:23:47 PM
What I think is that each country has its culture and that is something that is respected, in my country the culture is different, if there is a wake, what they do is pray and pray so that the soul of the dead can rest in peace and managed to cleanse oneself well of the sins that the person committed, it is more than all a religious custom, and it is something that is very delicate, I know that in countries like Mexico there is the day of the dead where that is a holiday, But given the situation that is now so difficult and things are so expensive, it is not a bad idea to do something like this to help raise funds for the family. I say this from my own experience, because some time ago my grandfather died and the Funeral expenses were very high, they paid it to his son and I think one of them still owes money.

What surprises me is that they treat a vloroio as almost a celebration, it is difficult to do something like that when there is the pain of a loved one, but it is a matter of seeing things differently, maybe it is better to cope with things like this in the middle of pain.

But part of death is part of life too, we don't know what lies beyond or what will happen to us, so for those who are left, what do they have to bear with the expenses and thus be able to get ahead , but it is a very tradition different, it is very interesting.
2071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: March 10, 2024, 03:48:59 PM

The first step in actually coming back from an addiction is to realize that the gambler is to blame for their own actions. Not anyone else.

People are quick to blame others, but they rarely take responsibility of their actions when they lose.
By blaming yourself for wrong steps due to your careless actions in carrying out gambling activities and often experiencing losses, that is normal and natural, but if we gamblers blame other people for the losses we experience, that is a big mistake. . . because defeat in gambling is determined by the dealer or system, not other gamblers.
Therefore, it is a good idea for us to introspect ourselves on what we have done and immediately improve it.

I agree that gambling is a game of luck and depends on your own personal judgment and experience no one should be blamed here at all. If we ourselves do not gamble no one can force us to gamble. Rightly said it is the result of our actions but there are many who don't want to accept it. If you can put the blame on others you feel better. Gamblers initially denied it. But when it becomes a real problem they stop trying to deny it. So acknowledging the problem is very important.

Therefore, if we are not ready to lose and lose the money we have, it is better for us not to gamble because that is the risk we will face and if we cannot accept all the risks then it will most likely make us burdened.
If we dare to act, we must be prepared to take risks ourselves, not blame others for our defeat. I think people like that don't understand what gambling really means from the start, so they easily get emotional and take it out on other people.
That is it, some people do not want to take responsibility, they just one someone to be responsible for their fall, but if it is a blessing, they might want to take it all and even be stingy to part ways with any. Gambling and any other risky business/ventures could come out in two ways, and if it is negative, no one should shy away from the fact, and if it is positive, all should smile as well. The transferring of blame is so ill and wicked to me and it shows what prompts some people to face their business even if they see others in need of a thing or another, they might still not do it because they do not know the disposition of the person to it if it doesn't work as planned.

I have seen a lot of people who do not want to take responsibility, they always want to win but want others to absorb their losses if possible, but if others would not take the shift of the losses somehow, they would want them to still take the blame. This is selfish and proves that the person is not ready to take a risk, which is bad. Anyone who is mature enough to gamble should also be mature enough to accept whatever outcome that comes from it and stop being childish about it. Otherwise, such should just excuse him or herself from gambling, it is never by force.

We think that what he says is very true , there is a certain Immaturity when a person who makes a mistake tries to find culprits and does not assume that the fault lies with the same person, then the casino with all the emotions on the surface and if the player He is wrong, he can invent any excuse, that he followed the advice of such a person, that the fault lies with that person, that if he had not done what that person said he would have won, or maybe that he Followed the Advice of another person and that is why he It happened, then I don't know what you're looking for, because if it's an excuse to win at ease in a society, well, I consider that sad, in a casino one must assume that the money is one's Own , no one does what someone else tells them to. Unless it is, and no one is going to manage one's way of playing as a player , so these things are the ones that must be Taken into consideration when playing.

If a person blames someone else for their loss, that is like kicking a drowning person, they have no validity whatsoever, the same game over time will make them mature Because if they Continue with those thoughts, things will simply continue to turn out very well. Badly, as a player we have to learn to mature certain knowledge, certain things and designs that casinos have, so we will be a wiser player and lose less money in the future, but some things are Sadly missing out on how they learn the most.
2072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: March 10, 2024, 03:31:00 PM
In my opinion, if people already have experience in gambling, they will not make random bets, I think they will be more careful in doing things that they already have experience with. Also, experience is good for us, with the experience we have we can learn good and bad lessons. People who gamble tend not to think about the risk of losing money or losing, they only think about winning, therefore what you say is true. they tend to think things they shouldn't think about, sometimes the final result of gambling is likely to be wrong with the predictions we made, and in the end it just makes us disappointed.
I agree with you, we should be responsible for what we do, including gambling. because the bad effects of gambling are not trivial, many people experience big problems or big losses because they are not disciplined and irresponsible with the gambling they do. I myself feel that luck plays a big role in gambling, but there are also some gambling games that can be won by those of us who have good skills or understanding.

If you allow emotions to dominate inside your minds you'll find yourself losing a lot and it will reflect to your finances, people who gamble irresponssibly most of the time suffer from addictions, instead of gaining the enjoyment they exceed from that and put themselves to big problem, risking without thinking carefully is what addicted person will do when they are inside casinos, they just go all in and riskit all hoping that luck will be there for them to back them up.

Though it's true that luck have a big factor and influence but still your discipline will help you to avoid losing big amount of money.
It is clear, if gambling is done with emotions that control oneself, then it is very likely that what will happen is a big loss, because it is not just gambling. Things that are done with overwhelming emotions tend to make decisions that are not considered first, so that the decisions taken are not thought about the risks that will occur later. with those who cannot control themselves or their emotions when gambling, this will clearly lead them to gambling addiction and large losses that will definitely occur.
Many gamblers experience big losses because they cannot control themselves, including their emotions, so it is not surprising that big losses occur. alibi to have fun but instead suffer big losses due to uncontrollable emotions. I agree with you, they only take risks in the hope that a miracle can happen with a decision made carelessly. That's true, discipline helps us to avoid big losses or other bad things, while luck doesn't happen completely in every gambling we do, so don't expect more from the gambling we do.

From all this, what I think is that a person, when he is in a casino playing and well concentrated, should not try to control everything, because in a moment he can lose control of his emotions, control of his money and everything can go wrong. overboard, then this can result in it being difficult to control all the emotions, and one cannot wait for the last little bit of money to produce a great miracle that makes everything recover, no, things are very different, That's why when I play in a casino I don't think about it, the first thing I do is allocate money only for the casino, and when I lose that money I assume my loss and don't deposit more, this is preferable to control the money and not the emotions , because emotions can sometimes betray our reason, because the idea gets into our minds that we can win, that we can do things, that everything is a risk, then this type of thinking can harm us, because in the end we lose money.

As advice I always say, it is better to control the money you are willing to lose than to control your emotions, there are some members here on the forum who do know how to control their emotions and that is something I admire, the truth is for me they are on another level But with my strategy of controlling the money I'm willing to lose, I can let my emotions go unrepressed and play hard.

I accept what you say, especially when it means losing rationality, because basically a person who is doing everything possible to have a good attitude during the casino and win, or at least try to win, things sometimes don't go the way they want, so It could be said that greed sometimes makes him play tricks, but this almost always happens to novice players , who have almost no experience in a casino. It is very difficult for a veteran player to have this happen to him, or at least to have had drinks. alcoholics and that disinhibits him from all those possible fears that are normal because it is scary to go to the casino and leave without money, because on many occasions it has happened that people who are there playing and playing forget that the casino has the advantage of the house and that is what they should consider the most before playing , it is like maturing that concept, so they should think that a player is not going to be above a casino.

Partly when it happens like this, I think the player Ignores many basic things, as I said before, the house advantage, the game, and above all what it means for a person to Manage their money well, not leave it all in a casino, but knowing how to manage it, so that if you lose in a casino, you leave with the money to buy the things you Always have intended and you don't have to Suffer by Subtracting money later to cover a gap left by irresponsibility.

What could cause a gambler to place a bet to the extent that he no longer has money to pay for the games he played?

~snip~

So the question now is: What could really put a gambler in such a situation, addiction, or greediness?

It doesn't come to me as a surprise because I've seen it many times. A gambler would walk into a betting shop with the intention of staking his bet and going home. When he sees a virtual game on the screen that he thinks would play, he'd bet on it and after he must have ended up emptying his pockets, he'd start begging his fellow gamblers money or go home not placing his bet. In such situation I don't think the gambler is being greedy rather he's addicted to gamble that he has no control over his funds.

Well that is something very unfortunate, the fact that a person does not have control over their money and gets carried away by emcoins, impulses and everything that they can want to chain a disorderly game is what can normally happen to someone like that, I saw that ago At some point, I went into a famous casino in a city in Colombia, and there I started to see the roulette, the slot machines, but I was simply looking, but I saw a man of approximately 50 years old, he was playing and he was winning. In the roulette, I remember that he had won a lot of money and he did not withdraw money but instead bet even more and I saw that he started to lose, he had a lot of money, it was enough for him to spend about 3 days in the country without any problems indulging in luxuries, but The truth is that when I saw he had lost half of it , and he became desperate and began to betray more and more, and when I saw that he no longer had any money left, at least from what he was earning for him, then he took out approximately a few of his own money. 150 dollars and started spending everything.

At one point, things later got out of control, he lost everything, he didn't have a single peso left and he had to walk home, because he didn't even have any money left, and then only he saw that it started to get worse. The madman, because he felt sorry for those who were watching him, was very unfortunate for him.

It is best you gamble when necessary not because you want to chase your loss and win back you money, many are victim of this circumstances and for me is a bad practice and this might make you not to employe your gambling skills and roles because you inhast in your decision making. What is your opinion on this?
Well the case at most cases is that many of those who chase after a lose is as a result of some things like when they borrow money to gamble with or when they are already in high lose and wanting to recover from that,  and not being able to hold back and watch the loses slide away.

The best way to prevent such tension is to always keep in mind that gambling is a game of chances and while you are at that you should just take it as something to pass time and not make money from,  if you have such understanding,  it will be hard to see yourself taking a particular directions.


It will always be good to play in peace, that is, without any pressure, because in some way daring sometimes works, when you play with pressure things can go wrong because pressure makes things forced, for example if I am forced to win I'm going to be very stressed and because things won't turn out well for me because that's going to cause more discomfort in my life, I'm not willing to go to a casino just to be stressed, it's true that you go to a casino because you want to play and win, but you also have to accept the designs of the casino, and the home advantage, the luck in us as players and I go out that influences a lot, I have always said something, if I feel lucky I play, if not, it is It is better not to play because that same heaviness that one has, one can even lose and blame something as simple as that.

Sometimes these types of things can turn out to be very silly, or almost unimportant, but the details are what make the difference. Out of my own experience, one day I started playing dice in a casino, but I was upset, and when I lost I felt twice as upset, so I don't like that feeling, and since it didn't bother me, I didn't play again feeling angry or doing things to get out of trouble.

VR is crap. It is getting overhyped.

Online casinos > real life casinos > VR casinos

On some occasions real life casinos might be better than online casinos but on no occasion VR casinos are better than online or real life casinos.

In other words, there is no future for VR. Not for me at least, I know that much.

It is simply a technology which is at a very raw state of development, that is all. I believe it was the same when the first portable phones started to appear in the market, you know. They were of the side of a brick and you had to had a special little bag attaches to your belt, in order to carry them around with you, not even mention one could only make and receive calls with those, no text messages.
As technologies continue to advance, it will more likely form people to get a more appealing and affordable experience with virtual reality and casinos, in my opinion. As it stands for now, it is quite obvious one cannot expect most of people to own a Virtual reality set, in the other hand, it is more realistic to assume most of people own a smartphone, which is more than enough for them to gamble.

But I understand you lack of enthusiasm about VR, not long ago when Facebook started to talk about the Metaverse, it got all those invertors fired up on the idea of virtual worlds, only to deliver lackluster experiences with graphics out of reality 2000s. Only because Meta/Facebook failed on their mission, it does not mean someone in the future could try again and succeed, though.

The truth is that I have not had the opportunity to try casinos or have experiences in virtual reality, and the truth is that I have seen videos and people stay stuck there watching, they don't care much about the rest, in fact a movie that is very famous that It is about one of these types of games, where there was a site of very addicted people who, when they were put to sleep, came out in another virtual reality world, and that for them was the best, and they seemed like drug addicts but with a virtual world.

I couldn't say that the metaverses are bad, maybe they are not improved or we are asking a lot and it is not ready yet, or we expect very advanced things like the ones we see in the movies, but I would really like to have a good experience with casino or any other game that has to do with virtual reality, it catches my attention, I don't know if any casino can have this implemented where we as players buy the equipment to be able to play, above all I would like it if they could do it to play poker , where you can recreate an environment where there is a table, chairs and we move around as if we were an Avatar, I think that these types of things are of progress and the future.

It may be that as time passes these things improve and you have a very good user experience and opinions change from bad to good.
2077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: March 09, 2024, 11:59:31 PM
As far as I am concerned, every form of gambling has different levels of addiction, and it depends on how individuals handle the addiction, some will definitely take it more than others, that level is not something we can measure until it unfolds and we see it, but how many can we see?

There are some people that believe in gambling with 50% of their mind and there are some who believe in gambling with 100% of their minds, the higher the believes they have in gambling the massive their level of addiction will be if they ever get addicted one way or the other, it doesn't have to be sports bets or Dice games, gambling is gambling and addiction is addiction.

Your view is correct that all types of gambling games have the potential to make a gambler addicted, but usually games that provide fast money such as slots or dice are types of gambling games that can make someone an addict more quickly and precisely.  For this reason, all gamblers need to anticipate that their gambling activities do not cause them to become gambling addicts, as usual, being a responsible gambler is highly recommended.

Of course all types of gambling have elements that can make anyone addicted, and if there were no such elements there would be no more gamblers, and maybe they would come just to try, but in fact the majority of gamblers always persist and even act excessively to pursue something that looks as tempting as victory. Which means that the opportunity to win is what makes gamblers always feel addicted to continuing to play, sometimes even losing track of time.

Yes, I agree with you that of the many types of gambling, I would also say that slot type gambling is the one that has a fairly high level of addiction because the first type of gambling is very easy to reach and play, which means it makes it easier for all gamblers who want to play without must have any experience, and another thing that makes the possibility of addiction high is because there are quite large wins such as the maximum wins provided in pragmatic play games, there are several of my friends who also managed to get it but to get it you have to really be in it. good luck situation, many people lose large amounts of money without realizing it due to their dominating emotions, and yes, it is clear that however it is recommended to be a responsible gambler because with this you will not experience a significant amount of loss.

I agree with you , I think that one of the games that can bring the most addiction are the most popular, among the most popular because there are the slots, that basically things are like that, I say that before the most popular game was poker, for What before there were many PVP tournaments and that was really entertaining and had a lot of Acceptance, in addition there were more options to win, the slots are exciting, they make anyone like to interact and above all win, and what is most striking is that a game like lsots where with little money you can win a lot, because it is something that is much more engaging.

This is a fucking advantage of what the slots have, only because by winning more some players increase the bets, with the desire to have a good Stroke of luck to win big, this can basically be limited to something we know as a dangerous attraction , and that same thing can lead us to think that we are falling into what a casino is looking for, attraction, betting , and that we forget a little about what they call, "house advantage."

This is the type of thing that we are always going to consider, in the same way I consider that in slots as in any game one must play with great restraint, and always considering that things are better when we control our money.

2078  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: March 09, 2024, 11:16:06 PM
You need rest too, it seems. Gambling sometimes makes something about us a little worse, and sometimes makes it a little better. We cannot always receive positive effects, because our money wins and losses always alternate.

When you have the worst day of your life, you will feel sick of all your bets. No wins, emotions worsen, money runs out. Yes, that's the right time to take a break. It can take a matter of days or weeks to restore your positive mood.

I think the same, I believe that to do any type of activity one as a human being needs to have rest, if a person is in the casino and plays every day, it will no longer look fun or pleasant, even if they win, they will see it As an obligation that has to be done no matter what, then this type of thing becomes a burden for the person and is not good for our health, nor for our emotional intelligence, and also for mental peace.

I have seen many people that this type of Pressure Really Affects their lives , and it turns into stress, and if it is not controlled it brings many adverse conditions, it can bring a lot of stress, sometimes this manifests itself in heart attacks, in different Health Problems What can you wear with this Problem.

Now things can be different when you take a Break , in fact for those who play sports, for those who trade, even for a job you need to rest, that is something that Should Always be done to take care of your Health and with the I play in Casinos even more.

One of the main things that makes parenting would really be challenging is that you would really be needing to check your kids or children because in todays era then it would really be that so hard
to avoid for those kids not to see those things and not only on the things they do see online but also into those people who are in surrounding on which doing that gambling activity.
Anyone could really be able to influence you on which even if you are adult then you are really that prone into such possibility. Gambling addicts wont really be minding about into those people who would really be that affected or would be influenced on what they are doing. They would really be minding on their own interest in mind and people around could neither be affected or not.
So now you have to be a parent who must be smarter than the child, must be able to supervise how children use their smartphones.
and how they get along, because a bad environment will make them affected.

It's sad to actually see underage children already addicted to gambling games,
But it's been unopposable, and some parents are also playing the same game, so there is no ban whatsoever.

Sometimes we parents are not to blame for what may happen in what the children play, because for example with my 8 year old boy, I downloaded him a couple of games, but those games now come with a lot of adsense, and that When a child does not have the culture of removing those adsense, they get carried away, I say this because my son showed me a roulette game that was coming out, and I told him that this is annoying advertising that they want to be sold games, I told him that when That would come out, then I would simply remove it in the That is included, so these are things that sometimes parents get out of hand, however after that, every time he played, I sat next to him to see how he was doing, to see what he got.

This is very delicate, children are currently very fast and bold with these things, so as a parent you must control what they have to use this, it is better to control it by time, leave them a half hour or 1 hour a day so that they do not become addicted, under any circumstances one must always give children the required attention unconditionally.

What I think about this is that first it is very unfortunate that this type of dependence on licenses and cough arrives for people from certain countries or various locations, a casino like this, I rule them out, because where I am not welcome to insist on something I am not It works, and since I have many friends who play hard in casinos, I simply say don't play at casino This is how the speed of the casinos that are good and bad runs, so my advice is that you don't play there anymore, or if you want to know the main reason, then ask the support, you will find it there. They will give you the details more clearly, but I would not go to that casino anymore.

The Tos can be manipulated in some casino, because there are cases where they change them without telling or participating anything to the players , and that already seems in bad taste to me, because the opinion of the players is not taken into consideration, but rather itself. , the fact that you can't play certain games without a VPN is something that for me is enough to not go back, I don't know if you are a big casino fan, but sometimes you have to look at other casinos and stick with the casino that suits you. They treat you well and always make a difference, with that you avoid having bad times and meaningless problems.
