I wouldn’t want my own casino. The liability of holding so many other people’s money would be absolutely insane. Not to mention all the problems that would come along with it like hacking attempts and angry customers complaining about bugs or making claims about their gaming outcomes. It would be neverending stress.

I also like gambling, but I don't want to own my own casino. If I have a lot of money, I would rather open another business, because I'm not sure about the risks that will come if I open my own casino. So just to play is enough for me.

As you said, not to mention the problems that might come, maybe I myself will not be able to face all the problems, even though I have a lot of money but if problems keep coming, it will make me uneasy. So it's better for me to live with enough money.

There are also gambling websites that provide RTP which is basically a percentage of being good or bad from one game. In my opinion, it has absolutely no effect, it is just a gimic made by the bookie or gambling company to attract players, by giving a large percentage on games that are currently busy in online gambling, so they believe they can get a win in games that have a high percentage. But there are still people who believe in the RTP, they don't realize it's just a gimic made to attract more attention.

RTP is calculated over an unknown period of time for us as a players, it can be short or long period. RTP can be said to be an average, for every $100 wagered, there is a possibility that the provider/game will return $95 to the player. However, this does not mean and is not a guarantee that each player will receive exactly 95% of his bet, it could be less than that and it could be not at all. However RTP is a theoretical value, and you are right about other factors such as luck, volatility and individual gaming strategy can greatly influence a player's short term results.

So is it true that RTP affects the game? I myself don't believe it's just a withdrawal for the players, after all there is no reason the bookie will lose. So regarding RTP, it depends on the players will believe or not, the point is that all bookmakers will not do anything detrimental to themselves.

After all, gambling or slots are made to make money not to share money with players who play slots. After all, if RTP is only a theoretical calculation in returning money according to the amount wagered, it will not give a big win, right? It could be possible to get a big win but it's also very unlikely.

I sure have on multiple occasions had a plan of building my own online gambling casino, Infact, there was actually a time I had organized a team of 6 people including myself making us 7, I had a graphic designer, web developers and so on, but unfortunately, we couldn't build anything out due to lack of funds on me, they all wanted to be paid Bi-weekly even when we don't have system generating money running yet, so at the end of it all, I had no choice but to call the project off unfortunately.


Yes because if you want to open your own casino, you don't have enough skills, you have to have a lot of money because of course this is a game related to money, if it's just the skills you have, you should apply to big companies, with the skills you have, it has the potential to make money for yourself. I also have friends who work in the IT field by creating applications and websites on the internet, and that is not cheap but has a high price value.

And let me also mention that, even right now, I still have that dream of owning my one online gambling casino some day, and I will want it to be even bigger than stake is currently, I love gambling and if I achieve this, I will be a very happy and feel fulfilled, all I currently waiting for before I take a shot at this again is to become stable financially, the first trial have indeed thought me some lessons that not many people care about the dream and goal you have, they don't care as long as they get paid, if at any time you are not able to pay them, they will possibly leave you and your dream and look for the next paying client.

So before I give this a shot again, I wanna be financially stable and able, so that I don't end up with a failed project again.

If you really want to open your own casino, I recommend that you have a lot of money because as I said, to open a casino you need a lot of money, especially since everything in the casino is related to money. But if you are really sure about your choice and desire, maybe you can borrow capital from the bank to open a massive casino. But if you are not sure don't do it, but I think if you borrow capital from the bank to open a casino if you can manage it well maybe you can return the capital quickly once again if you manage it well. Because of course there will be risks too, so it all comes back to yourself because the choice is yours.

We should be able to realize that chasing the world will not be fulfilling because the world will change and we will not be able to keep up because we will never be young again. Those of us who are old will be replaced by the young so that we will not be able to compete with them and will only be spectators. Those of us who are getting older must think about leaving gambling one day so that from now on, we will be able to reduce our gambling activities. Moreover, we don't have a big chance of winning much money apart from just losing more money from gambling. If we can reduce gambling activities from now on, when we get older, we will be able to quit gambling. There will be no hard feelings about leaving gambling because we are satisfied with gambling and it is time to enjoy life in old age with our family.
Yep, it's true that old age is the time to rest, there no point in chasing an increasingly changing world, its time for the young to express themselves.
I hope that in my old age I will do more positive thing to avoid negative influences such as gambling, therefore I will reduce gambling from now on, I occasionally use gambling but within reasonable limit and am able to control myself well so thats not gambling addiction.
I think that with my situation under control like this, in my old age it will be easy to give up gambling because when I was young I was quite satisfied with thats.

Yes I agree with you, maybe I will also do as you said more positive things that have nothing to do with gambling. by doing other things like chatting with friends or going fishing, or gardening maybe it's better than gambling. Although I've seen some people who are elderly and are in casinos, some of them are even physically unwell (disabled) but they still gamble because they have a lot of money and maybe that's how they spend their old age. But if I have a lot of money in my old age, I'm thinking of buying a large plantation or a farm. That way there are activities for me too.
Too much money pushes many people to gambling to spend their free time. Because gambling is a fun place and those who have a lot of money do not have any plan to earn from gambling. he goes there only to enjoy gambling so it doesn't matter to them whether he is young or old. But it will not be the same for everyone. each person's plan may be different like you.

It's true what you said, because I myself admit that there is pleasure and thrill in gambling, what else in the slot I have felt it directly when I got a big win, of course it made me happy because I didn't think I would be so lucky. But now I don't think about it, I just want a quiet old age without any curiosity to return to gambling, just seeing friends who gamble is enough for now.

Quote
Many of them are still chasing the winnings in gambling, even though it's risky but they still chase it whether they think so they don't think about anything else, I gamble only on weekends, so I myself am confident that I can quit gambling especially now with my new job making me always have things to be responsible for, so it increases the possibility of me not gambling anymore even if it's only on weekends.
Gambling is very risky so if one does not have a lot of money then he should not spend much time in gambling because gambling addiction can destroy him because he does not have a strong financial backup. So your plan is commendable.  It is very difficult to control yourself from gambling and to stop gambling at any time.  But if you can do it, it will be good for you

I thank you in advance, and I hope everyone can also leave gambling. Especially those who are addicted to gambling, they must be aware of the harmful effects of gambling. But I have no intention of demonizing gambling, because gambling also has positive things, namely providing more fun and sensation when playing, but if it is done with self-control that can limit their gambling activities, so that there is no severe addiction to gambling. because there is a future that they have to face, it is impossible for them to spend their lives just gambling but if they have unlimited income it doesn't matter hahaha.
2265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: November 06, 2023, 11:34:38 AM
In my opinion, the most important thing is how we can set money limits when gambling, so that we remain conditioned if we lose and we won't lose much in this case. If I win then I will stop first to enjoy the results of the win, and when I lose maybe I will only gamble once or twice with a small budget, and the most important thing is to always be aware that gambling is just luck that we are not sure of getting, so we stay under control and prevent addiction.
But everything will change after you enter the gambling room when you theoretically set a betting limit or your budget limit but usually it will be ignored when your state of mind too focused on emotions and loses control of yourself in the end and continues to chase defeat and that all usually happens when A losing streak is attacking you.
But that doesn't mean your tip is not good, it just that it would be more perfect if we accustom our minds to thinking that gambling is not the right way to waste large amounts of money because all our money will be lost by the bookies and keep thinking about that, I'm sure everyone this can be one way to continue gambling responsibly.

Yes that's right, I myself think that no matter how well they play, they will end up losing too so that their money runs out even though they play with defeat after defeat, they are not aware of the defeat they get, but they are increasingly ambitious to be able to turn things around, I laugh when there are people like this, they have been deceived by the bookie who clearly cannot possibly turn things around. It is unlikely that they can turn things around even if they win it will not be equivalent to the many losses they have experienced. That's good. Getting used to playing with the limits set or discipline in gambling is a responsibility in gambling.
By establishing good discipline, it is unlikely that they will be heavily addicted to gambling.
Therefore, people here often say that even professional gamblers will eventually lose control, neglecting to gamble responsibly, following ambition to chase losses and situations like that cannot be controlled because our minds have been dominated by emotions and big ambitions that become and make us behave. break your own rules.
I sometimes think that gamblers sometimes look very stupid, even myself when gambling because physically we are ready to face any risk but psychologically there is no readiness to accept all that and I'm sure you have at least felt a loss of control when betting, chasing losses until your money After that you lose everything and realize that you did something very silly chasing these losses.
For me, it not only requires self-control to keep gambling responsibly, but the safe tip is just to stop gambling and that is much better.

Yes, it is true because no one is an expert in gambling because basically gambling only relies on luck, there is no pattern or trick to get a big win, because there are machines that are certainly set up to generate profits for the company, not set up to benefit the players. The ambition to chase losses will not improve the situation but in my opinion it will worsen the situation because then emotions will arise that will control ourselves and greed that will spend all the money we have and loss of self-control so that it makes a fatal impact.

Of course, I myself have experienced what you mentioned, which is the loss of control when gambling, this made me lose the money I had. In the end, it is not other people who can realize but ourselves who must realize the defeat we have felt because other people will not feel what we feel when we lose and there is a loss of self-control that makes things worse.

      -   I agree with what you said that in gambling it is not discussed whether you are an expert or not. As long as you are lucky in gambling, you will definitely get the jackpot prize that they have in their gimmicks.

Even in the tricks or techniques that are called, there is nothing like that to win often in gambling. The only important thing is that we know how to feel what's happening while we are gambling. It's so simple that other communities here have often said that if you always lose, you should go to bed first, then go back when you feel good. Maybe your luck will return.

yeah that's true, It's just a matter of luck that will give them victory, no matter how small the bet value if luck is on their side it will produce a big win, but if they are unlucky no matter how big the bet value will not produce a win but it will definitely spend their money quickly because of the amount of bets they play.

There are also gambling websites that provide RTP which is basically a percentage of being good or bad from one game. In my opinion, it has absolutely no effect, it is just a gimic made by the bookie or gambling company to attract players, by giving a large percentage on games that are currently busy in online gambling, so they believe they can get a win in games that have a high percentage. But there are still people who believe in the RTP, they don't realize it's just a gimic made to attract more attention.
2266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: November 05, 2023, 06:33:29 PM
The problem with online gambling is that casinos don't know who the users are so underage children can easily gamble using online casinos. If they know about crypto, they will probably use crypto casinos more often to gamble because crypto casinos are better able to hide the identities of their customers so they can gamble freely. Adults around them will also not know what they are doing because with easy access to the internet and underage children being able to access crypto casinos using their smartphones, they can gamble freely. But when it's time to verify their gambling account, they might borrow an ID card from an adult to find their account has been verified easily.
It is because of the need to know the exact age of gamblers that some online casinos do ask their customers to complete their KYC before they can fully be able to gamble on their platform. Sometimes people misunderstand the reasons behind the request for KYC but I think the age factor is one of them.
Children under 18 aren't supposed to be allowed to gamble wether online or offline because they are believed to be mentally immature to engage in gambling as most of them are not mentally strong enough to handle the negative effects of gambling. So I think every adult who notices any form of gambling engagement from children should do everything possible to discourage them from gambling in other to save their future.

Well exactly, I also assume and have a fairly reasonable belief that indeed the purpose of the casino implementing the KYC system is to avoid those children who are still underage so as not to get involved in gambling. On the other hand I think with this it can be concluded that casinos are not as evil as we think, they are not greedy in terms of looking for members by applying such requirements which are nothing but to limit every child who is underage, even though on the other hand they could have benefited more by removing KYC regulations because it is very possible that minors can also be involved in gambling with gambling which in fact is now increasingly easy to find, especially those based online..

Of course this restriction will be very useful, it seems that casinos are still thinking about the future of minors by implementing the KYC system, because from a mental and psychological point of view for children under 18 it is very easy to absorb new things that come to them, and on the other hand they also have a high level of curiosity. So it is very dangerous if the mindset of children at their age is trapped in gambling because their future will be at stake. Basically the role of both parents is also very important in this matter, I hope they will be able to guard, limiit and guide their children so that they are not misguided.
2267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the best advice or should I just let him on: November 05, 2023, 06:03:59 PM
How do you know he is getting addicted? Are you sure you are not mistaken being active for addiction? You already said he is retired, a pensioner and all his children are professionals... in my opinion, he is having fun. You don't need to advice him because he does not need the advice.

If you must advice him, you first ask question to know if there is anyway the gambling is impacting on him negatively. If there is no way he is feeling the effect, then there will be no need advising him.

Yes I agree with you as sometimes giving an advice to a stranger like in this case, he is your new neighbour he may get offended and your relationship with your neighbour may get a bit awkward.

I hope his family know about it and they know what is good or bad for him and there is no need to interfere in his life. It's better that you leave him on his own and let his family decide what is best for him. These days people do not like interference in the life specially when they are not your friends and not in your family.

And also on the other hand not everyone is able to take advice well, or I mean if they are one of those people who do not like to be criticized by others regarding whatever they do then maybe they will say something unpleasant to you, especially on the other hand it is a new person in your environment in the sense that your social relationship is still too early with them. Yes, I also understand that maybe you care about them with the aim of helping them get out of the gambling activity through some of the suggestions you put forward, but in my opinion don't immediately take action like that, it's better to approach first, find out first whether the person is addicted or not and also if you can invite the person to chat to make sure and ask whether the activity has a bad impact or not on his life, and now after that you can give some effective advice.

And also on the other hand you have to find the right time to socialize with them especially with the aim of interfering with the activities they do, lest you be labeled as a neighbor who likes to interfere in other people's affairs. On the other hand, I am sure that one of the people in the family must have the right mindset and they will definitely know what to do to help overcome the addiction problem of one of their family members if they are really addicted.

2269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: November 05, 2023, 02:43:32 PM
It’s really hard to recover losses if your main goal in gambling is just to have profit since the house edge will not permit you to win consistently against the house. Human error through emotion is one of the biggest enemy of players that’s why they keep losing. You can lose everything even if you are initially winning with just one moment that will make you tilted during the game.

I personally don’t view my gambling records nor compute my total lose/win since it will will just affect my mind to gamble more instead of just gambling just for fun during free time.
Yes, most gamblers have tried to recover their losses, but they cannot get it easily at all because they have to use more money, which does not guarantee that they will be able to recover their losses. And it is indeed the house that will gain the biggest profits while we gamblers will only experience losses. And even though someone can win a lot, the casino will still take the biggest profits. We should be able to think that we don't need to gamble excessively because that means we have to be prepared if we have to lose even more money.

I don't have a gambling record but I can see the gambling history in my gambling account. If I feel like it's too much, maybe I'll stop gambling this week and not gamble for a few weeks to calm my emotions. That's better because I can divert my mind to other, more useful things.
In fact gambler biggest win is when they can minimize losses by stopping when they start losing because if they continue there will only be losses until what they have is completely gone.
Maybe it will be difficult to stop and accept every defeat that occurs, but we will have even more difficulty if we chase bigger losses and lose even all the valuable things we have such as money or other assets.

Yes that's right, their victory is when they can limit the game without following their emotions which of course if they follow their emotions and passions it will only make them lose more money. It is difficult to accept defeat, but the fact is that it is what they have to accept, even though there is resentment that they feel it will not turn things around for the better. Moreover, if they play again with the aim of recovering losses by chasing it is wrong, because it is unlikely to be obtained.

Of course, stopping after losing is wise decision and you must do it in the next few days so that you can be calmer and not be emotionally influenced by chasing after the defeat.
Unfortunately, only few gamblers are able to do this because sometimes they are unable to accept the risk of losing.

That is why it is recommended to gamble when in calm atmosphere and with money that can afford to lose.

By limiting the game when losing and stopping it is a wise choice so that they can rest their minds so that there is no addiction that has a bad impact on themselves. It is true that you said not everyone can do it, it can even be said that rarely people can control or limit themselves when playing, especially when experiencing defeat. The situation can also affect them when playing, so it is true that you said gambling in a calm time so that there is no greed or loss of self-control when playing.

In the end, it is not other people who can realize but ourselves who must realize the defeat we have felt because other people will not feel what we feel when we lose and there is a loss of self-control that makes things worse.
Therefore, it is very important to be able to hold firmly to the commitments that we have previously planned if we really want to protect your money so that we don't lose too much money, even though everything has been arranged as possible by the casino owner, but if we have a good stance and commitment we will not provoked by emotions because of course we always remember the rules we have made not to bet too far and stay safe.

With this experience, you can learn a valuable lesson that no matter how strong your stance is, if your emotions dominate your mind, in the end you will lose all the money in your pocket unless you know the right time to stop.

Yes, maybe in the beginning they have the principle of winning and pulling it, but most of them falter when they get a win. When winning a sense of greed arises so there is an urge to continue the game by increasing the value of the bet and in the hope of getting a bigger win. But I make sure that after getting a win it will probably be more difficult to get another win, because the bookie doesn't want to lose. And in my opinion if they even continue the game that there is a victory that has been obtained will be lost again.

But if they have self-control when they get a win they might cash it in and not continue the game again because they know that if they continue it will only spend the winnings they have got. The importance of the role of self-control when gambling because if there is no self-control it will harm themselves. It's true that you said that no matter how strong the establishment will fall apart if greed and emotions cannot be controlled.

2272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed or risk on: November 04, 2023, 04:09:58 PM
since the amount already grow more than a double, it only means he is about to win huge so why cashout instead.  it don't make sense. they only do that when they are not confident anymore but usually when they cashout its almost guaranteed more than half the amount is lost.

if it were me its a win. and let the game end to celebrate victory. the odds is quite not the teams favor actually so he is rooting for the underdog.


Once we won a big amount of money then  there's a possibility that it will doubled or  trippled  and if it will happen then we can cashout it all away. If we do not want to cashout and then we risk our money there's a high possibility that we loss all our funds. So it's better to think twice which is better if we are gonna cashout right away
but it's up to the gambler if he will withdraw  or take a risk  but there's a high chance of loses.  But for me cashout is the best  option.

However, in my opinion, if someone gets a big win, they will most likely increase the bet value because at this time greed will take over them so they are not satisfied with what they get, of course this will be bad for them by increasing the value of a small bet to possibly get a bigger win.
It's true that you said it's up to them although withdrawing everything is the best option but it seems difficult to withdraw everything because those who are dominated by greed think this is an opportunity for them to get bigger. However, many of the gamblers I think will return to play by increasing the value of the bet because of the dissatisfaction they feel even with the risk of losing back the winnings they get, I myself think that winning big and increasing the value of the bet will actually spend everything they get back. Because opportunities don't come twice.
Greed is something that it is really hard to control and does really need up that internal discipline and really that mindful about on the things that must done. Easy to say but it is really hard to be done on the time that you are on such situation on which there's no way that you could really be able to make yourself that able to do such thing on point. On the time that you are on such condition seeing that your bet is winning and would be having that early cash out opportunity then for sure it would really be that disrupt up your initial plans considering that you would really be thinking about those probabilities of comeback and might be resulting into losses of those bets which you do see that it is really that a sure win but we know as long the game isnt over there's always a chance or tendency for comeback.

Somehow, its none others business on what you would gonna do with your bet since its your money and you do have the full rights whether you would really be pushing it through or would really be cashing it out earlier.
There are really just those people who cant really just that bare up the risks and would really be going on the safer side of things but we do also know that there are
really people who are really that risk takers and could really do able to bare up with those risks involved.

Yes that's right, they should be able to control themselves and control greed when playing gambling, it's easy to say it's hard to do just like collecting debts from gamblers who borrow money to be able to gamble again hahaha. Most of them tend to continue the game when they get a win not withdraw it and leave gambling, but they with greed continue to play in the hope of winning bigger, even though not ten can win back in the next game.

It should be that when they get a win it is better to cash it in than to continue the game that will not necessarily return to give another win. This kind of person tends not to think about other things, he only focuses on big wins and bigger ones just like that, but they don't seem to think about the risks involved and are not ready to lose, so when they lose again and run out of winnings they get upset because they don't cash it in, then regret it, this is common in gambling, regretting at the end is common and no longer strange in gambling circles.

I’m a new member here, and I want to gamble on online casinos. I found some good trusted casinos. And I want to begin with a game with a low budget. First, I need your suggestions about the best games, slots. Live casino for a beginner.
Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.

The decision is first yours, you know what you want, your desired taste and how to go about it as well, if you apply discipline in everything you do in life then you will not regret most of your decisions taken, since you've made a search already and find some trusted ones, make sure that they are the ones you could have access to their customers service here on the forum so that you can join their discussion thread, also ensure that you're making a deposit of what you can afford to loose for gambling purpose and don't violate their rules.
Everyone’s aware that we are all prone to gambling addiction but why do we still engage to this activity? ‘Coz we also know to ourselves that being dragged in addiction depends solely to us. We are free to bet as much as we would want to but to let our emotions get involved with betting, depends whether we would let it or not. Ways to help us be distant of such risk is moderation and limitation of gambling activity. Picking the right gambling game which would suit you as a gambler would also help. There’s no absolute guide to start with gambling other than capital, self-discipline, and risk taking feat.

On the other hand addiction can come from anywhere without them realizing it, no matter if their purpose of coming to gambling is just for fun or whatever, but like many cases that have happened that people who initially came for fun unconsciously got into addiction by putting excessive expectations on activities that do not provide such guarantees at all. Some people are aware that these activities are prone to addiction but they still go in with the excuse that they have good controls and boundaries to prevent addiction from happening, but as I said above that basically addiction is very likely to come without them realizing it. So I think if you already know that there are addictive effects to gambling you're better off not engaging in this activity at all.

I think it's very difficult for anyone to not allow emotions to get involved in their gambling, basically emotions will play a role, especially when you get results that you don't want. Yes that's right, one way for us to avoid the possible risks that can occur is none other than just setting firmness in self-control, being a responsible gambler by accepting whatever the results are. And also you must know when to gamble and when to quit gambling, there is nothing but preventive measures to minimize risk.

Of course if one trust his or her friends, one would be able to own up to them whatever the case maybe but the reverse was the case here he did not tell his friends anything but rather he chose to hide and run away from them. This goes a long way to tell you who they are. Probably they might have been making jest of him and unknown to them he knew what they were doing to him but he chose to remain silent about it till he win redeemed his win and he fled from them. Although he has the right whatsoever to do whatever he wishes to do with his wins and that does not really concerns anybody.
He should do it like that because he already knows who his friends are, rather than later having trouble having to comply with his friends' requests. Hiding our winnings from friends who would only ask for something from us is sometimes necessary so that they don't come to us just because there is something they want. We don't need friends like that because they are only there when we are happy, but they won't be there when we are experiencing difficulties. We already know who our good and bad friends are, and we choose which ones we will invite to celebrate the win and which ones we will leave alone. They also can't force their will on us to celebrate their win if we don't want to.

Basically money is very sensitive in any case, with money you will be able to find out how the original character of the person, not only in gambling but in real life also problems that originate from the involvement of money often occur. In gambling, everyone has the freedom to whatever they want to do with the money from their winnings, whether they will use it for their own needs or choose to share a small portion of their winnings with one of their good friends. And also yes quite agree with your statement, sometimes hiding the winnings will not always be a bad thing even though on the other hand if one of your friends finds out there will definitely be less favorable talk behind your back, but I think if you hide the winnings from people who also always do that to you or are stingy to you in any way then I think there is nothing wrong with doing it, it's like a lesson for them indirectly, don't let them come when there is a need, but when you experience difficult conditions they never participate in helping you.

So I think it depends more on the background of you and your friend in terms of friendship, if indeed you always participate in anything and have a good relationship then there is nothing wrong if you want to share a little of that victory.

I understand what you mean; the feeling that you have with a big win can be irresistible and make you want to keep playing.  but you should  be smart about it and setting aside a percentage of those winnings to ensure you enjoy the thrill of playing while also safeguarding your substantial winnings. This way you strike a balance between continuing to have fun and not risking losing your major wins.

This is gambling we are talking about, gamblers will always want to exhibit that kind of feelings to always continue each time they finds themselves being lucky to experience a win, what always got them overwhelmed was the illusion that they will keep winning, the the more the attempt the higher the risk of loosing everything to gambling, winning comes in by luck and not by how determined we are for it, when ot comee, we should take it as an opportunity and never take that for granted, the next attempts may be the opposite experience.

Yes because it has become a common behavior of gamblers because of the greed they feel so they dare to continue the game when they get the winnings they get so they don't think about the risk of losing the winnings they have got. The high level of greed that controls them so that they lose control when gambling, where when they get a win that they should take the winnings and leave but they instead continue the game by increasing the value of the bet and thinking they will get a bigger win. Maybe they are not satisfied with what they have gotten so they continue the game.

It is true that you say, the victory that can be obtained is due to luck not because of the existing determination or patterns and tricks in gambling, because gambling cannot be separated from luck. This is because the existing patterns or tricks are only to make them continue to play gambling with the belief that the patterns and tricks can provide victory even though there is no effect on gambling which is clearly regulated in it.
2276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: November 04, 2023, 12:14:01 PM
In my opinion, the most important thing is how we can set money limits when gambling, so that we remain conditioned if we lose and we won't lose much in this case. If I win then I will stop first to enjoy the results of the win, and when I lose maybe I will only gamble once or twice with a small budget, and the most important thing is to always be aware that gambling is just luck that we are not sure of getting, so we stay under control and prevent addiction.
But everything will change after you enter the gambling room when you theoretically set a betting limit or your budget limit but usually it will be ignored when your state of mind too focused on emotions and loses control of yourself in the end and continues to chase defeat and that all usually happens when A losing streak is attacking you.
But that doesn't mean your tip is not good, it just that it would be more perfect if we accustom our minds to thinking that gambling is not the right way to waste large amounts of money because all our money will be lost by the bookies and keep thinking about that, I'm sure everyone this can be one way to continue gambling responsibly.

Yes that's right, I myself think that no matter how well they play, they will end up losing too so that their money runs out even though they play with defeat after defeat, they are not aware of the defeat they get, but they are increasingly ambitious to be able to turn things around, I laugh when there are people like this, they have been deceived by the bookie who clearly cannot possibly turn things around. It is unlikely that they can turn things around even if they win it will not be equivalent to the many losses they have experienced. That's good. Getting used to playing with the limits set or discipline in gambling is a responsibility in gambling.
By establishing good discipline, it is unlikely that they will be heavily addicted to gambling.
Therefore, people here often say that even professional gamblers will eventually lose control, neglecting to gamble responsibly, following ambition to chase losses and situations like that cannot be controlled because our minds have been dominated by emotions and big ambitions that become and make us behave. break your own rules.
I sometimes think that gamblers sometimes look very stupid, even myself when gambling because physically we are ready to face any risk but psychologically there is no readiness to accept all that and I'm sure you have at least felt a loss of control when betting, chasing losses until your money After that you lose everything and realize that you did something very silly chasing these losses.
For me, it not only requires self-control to keep gambling responsibly, but the safe tip is just to stop gambling and that is much better.

Yes, it is true because no one is an expert in gambling because basically gambling only relies on luck, there is no pattern or trick to get a big win, because there are machines that are certainly set up to generate profits for the company, not set up to benefit the players. The ambition to chase losses will not improve the situation but in my opinion it will worsen the situation because then emotions will arise that will control ourselves and greed that will spend all the money we have and loss of self-control so that it makes a fatal impact.

Of course, I myself have experienced what you mentioned, which is the loss of control when gambling, this made me lose the money I had. In the end, it is not other people who can realize but ourselves who must realize the defeat we have felt because other people will not feel what we feel when we lose and there is a loss of self-control that makes things worse.

It is very hard to quit gambling, it takes time to minimize gambling but quitting totally is not an easy decision to take, this is why it is advisable for people with poor decision to avoid gambling don't even gamble because it's effect might ruin your life, remember a chronic gambler can do anything to gamble, even though it takes him to sell his valuable asset a lesser amount to gamble he wouldn't mind because he believe that he can replace one he win and even gamble more with the remaining profit, I will say quitting gambling is very difficult, this will occur by the grace of God that's if the person is ready and willing to change.

Difficult as it is, once your attachments is already deep gambling is difficult to resist, I also agree that gambler can go that far selling valuable items or possessions  just to have that money  to use for their gambling,  those kinds of people who already addicted  can't decide on their own there's a need of someone to guide them to lessen ans to stop their addiction.

That's true, when you're so addicted to gambling, you'll do everything you can to gamble, so it's very difficult when you're in this situation. But that doesn't mean he can't be treated, it's up to the person if he really wants to change he can do it. Yes, it's easy to say, but if you're dedicated, nothing is impossible. You just have to believe in yourself that you can do it.

Those who have entered the phase of gambling addiction will not be able to think clearly in terms of making the right decisions, especially in terms of their gambling involvement, none other than that because most of their mindsets have been lost in terms of the opportunities that exist in gambling. What is the reason you are so excessive in viewing activities that only rely on luck? they only imagine and hallucinate that victory will come soon but the fact that always happens is "LOSS". Addiction is a difficult phase to overcome, they will do everything possible just to fulfill their gambling lust, the fear is that when they have run out of everything but still want to gamble then don't be surprised if they do things that are out of control such as criminal acts of theft, it's one of the alternatives they always choose when they have run out of ways, some are caught and some are lucky to escape. The point is that it is not uncommon for us to find several cases popping up whose background is due to the impact of gambling addiction.

It is quite difficult to recover from addiction, you must be able to resist all the gambling temptations that always come to your mind, this problem is not insurmountable but quite complicated because it is a matter of mindset and psychology. And one of the things you can do in my opinion is try to occupy yourself with other activities as a preventive measure.

I’m a new member here, and I want to gamble on online casinos. I found some good trusted casinos. And I want to begin with a game with a low budget. First, I need your suggestions about the best games, slots. Live casino for a beginner.
Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.
Whether you become addicted to gambling or whether it affects your real life depends entirely on how you gamble. But so that gambling does not have any bad effect in your real life or if you  don't become addicted to it, always keep some basic things in your mind. First of all I would say to control your greed, Then I would say never gamble an amount that you can't afford to lose or that amount which will affect your real life. So gamble as much as you can efford to loss. And every time at the beginning of gambling, set a specific strategy so that it does not become an addiction and always take it as fun fact.

Yes actually gambling will not be a problem if someone does not always overdo it in their gambling involvement, this activity will only really become a problem when you exceed something that should not be done, whether it is because of the wrong mindset in applying expectations or because of some other things, of course there are quite a lot of factors involved and that can be a strong reason why gambling has a bad impact on their lives. And conversely, if you do consider gambling to be nothing more than a pastime then I think you're less likely to end up experiencing some of the downfalls. So that's right, it all depends on how they view this gambling activity, whether you will make this activity an activity that will not make you experience risk or even the opposite.

And yes one of the first actions that usually also becomes the starting point of their addiction is that they always put a budget amount that they cannot be responsible for what will be the final result, so with this alone it can be concluded what exactly their goal is to come to gambling, I think you can judge for yourself.

Cash out is used in games like sport which means to cash out at lower price before the match is over or to wait until the match is over. What you meant is withdraw your money on gambling sites or to continue playing.

I am using trustworthy casinos and bookies, but if I win, I withdraw the winning immediately. I play for fun, I am using little amount of money, but I prefer to cash out and use the money for weekend.

       -   Of course, take out your winnings if you know it's a winning one to make sure you have money to take home, especially if you think it's a source of income for you. We know that if you continue to play, the house edge will surely get back to you.

That's why we gamblers should be careful and wise when playing gambling; as much as we can, we should be wiser than the house. That should be our strategy as gamblers.

yes I agree with what you said, but if he continues the game of course there will be a risk of losing the winnings he has got, it is better if we get a better victory to secure the victory by withdrawing all the winnings that are clearly obtained not recommended to continue the game that is not certain to get the victory back. When the victory is late in getting this is where self-control is tested whether we will be able to limit (stop playing) by securing the winnings obtained, or continue the game (greed) which is certain with the risks involved.

It all depends on the mindset, I myself if I get a win will secure the win by withdrawing all winnings and leave gambling to rest for a while without thinking about anything else. So everyone has their own choice, and we ourselves will determine the future. But in my opinion, a wise gambler will not continue his game if he has won.

This is why it is good to do all our hustling when we are young, so in our old age, we'll focus on relaxation and engaging only in things that makes us happy.
There are many sayings that while you are young, enjoy your life by gambling and looking for something fun when you are old, you should enjoy your old age in a relaxed manner with your family and grandchildren, after all, who wants to continue gambling until they are old, although maybe there are those out there who do it, but I'm sure they won't feel calm and happy in his old age with his family.
Gambling is stressful, and not good for the health of old people, they deserve to have peace of mind and be out of stress.
Enjoy life while we are still able to do that but for some limitations, becoming old is the perfect time to let it go and adapt to the new environment that we belong to (oldies).

Quote
I also personally still look for fun in gambling in almost all the casino games I play and other things, but I don't think that the gambling I play is to make money or gain wealth, all of them just want to find fun from gambling, after all we know that casinos It was built to provide entertainment, not to share money, the point is to gamble only when you are young and stop when you feel bored and old.
That is supposed to be as gambling should be considered as a form of entertainment, not a source of living. Unfortunately, the opposite view seems to happen by most gamblers, they think that gambling gives them fortune and a better life but in the end, they fail.

maybe when you are at that point, you can still gamble but just not too hard on yourself. just enjoy and use whatever money you can toss with your friends. there's no chasing losses anymore or waiting for your winnings. you just play because you want to pass time and have fun with your friends. it means, gambling should not be stressful anymore to you. but just another avenue to entertain yourself along with your friends.

Yes that's right, with the aim of entertainment alone, it's true that you don't pursue losses because in my opinion when you are old, it's time to enjoy life to the best of your ability without thinking about anything that will burden us so that we can enjoy old age in peace. but there are also those who gamble until old age and in casinos there are also gamblers who are old but they gamble just for fun and nothing more than that maybe they do this because they already have a lot of money and choose to spend their money by gambling but not by pursuing profits.

I myself will enjoy old age without gambling, I will prefer fishing or communicating more with people around so that no boredom is created. but life is a choice so everyone has their own rights to choose their future life.
