Most of the people gamble due to their greed so if they win in gambling then they are not thankful for that reward but utilise that sum again in gambling which does not guarantee that he will win this time also. If a person accepts both win and loss then he will not gamble regularly but will gamble in limited timing with limited cash.

At first everyone will say that he has control over his gambling abilities but when the loss and greed increase he will lose his control over his feelings and will feel happy after each opportunity that he will find after a loss.

Controlling emotions for a gambler is very hard and gambling acts as a poison that spread slowly and its toxicity increases with the passage of time.

The emotions of gamblers can get injured by gambling. Not just about the loss of money the player faces, various factors like continually experiencing anxiety lead gamblers close to depression. The game is designed to lessen the emotional strength of a gambler till he's not capable of controlling how he wagers money. As you said, the emotional pain gradually spreads till the player is unable to understand what he's doing. That's the reason most gambler's emotional control is in the mud. Gambling processes that consist of ongoing losses rather than winning, affect probably the feelings of a gambler. Thereby, causing the player some harm. Which he never expected to happen to him.

The emotional struggle kicks out sadness and anger on the gambler, hence his decisions will be fueled by it. Playing with anxiety won't be fun, and the gambler has a low advantage in making nice decisions. In a battle context, the house handicaps the gambler not to have many chances of winning. The house wouldn't have made as much money as they do if they were seeking donations to help run the business. So, they devised a method that'll make gamblers enjoy the game and spend more time gambling. Thereby, yielding more profits for the casino. Enough to clear their bills and pay workers.

I'm not sure that gambling every day can increase our chances. I don't fully agree with this idea because I bet on sporting events. But if I played casino games, I would take more risks on the days I won. I would gamble every day with little money and test my luck and then take risks according to the situation. But as I said before, I don't trust my luck in casino games, because most of the time I have bad results. I lose money. So instead I bet on sports events. If there are no good matches in the fixtures, I don't bet. If there are good matches and good analysis, I bet on them.

Casino games are quite addictive due to its optimized fast nature of providing results. Unlike sport gambling where the gambler has lots of time to decide on whether to pick a specific team or not based on their past analysis of performance and action. That doesn't remove the fact that everyday participant in sports games will also not influence the chances of winning. Should I call it addiction or greed, some gamblers who wager money on teams they've got no valid information on their performances, are close to facing the same fate with slot players. The slot player is at an advantage because of his knowledge of this occurrence, based on how slot games were designed to operates.

Sports gaming is quite good if a player is weekly wagering money on his favorite teams, which he's made some strong analysis on during the weekdays. Doing this helps a player to have enough time to think, more than a slot player who does not need to run any analysis. Capable of influencing the results of his game. However, a well-scrutinized sports analysis doesn't guarantee a gambler would win the game. But players still learn from doing this weekly research on football games. Another valuable asset of sports gambling, it helps players to be advanced in sports events.

Greediness is nearly every human's behavior, if not, a jackpot winner, wouldn't gamble again. Players wager back their jackpot earnings, despite having enough. We all seek for more money once what we once wished for is gotten. The casino uses this human reaction towards money to milk back all their money including the player's savings. While gambling, it's important to have in mind the game is connected to our emotions. Humans emotionally crave money or fantasies, a place where money is flashed to people will make them involuntarily want to go there.

Out of greed, most players will choose to frequent such places where gambling is practiced. Till they're not able to stop visiting the place or online platform. Also, those reactions happen unknowingly to the player, at a level he would control his choices of whether to visit there or not. I don't think addiction allows its victim the luxury of calculating their expenses. Win or lose doesn't mean a thing to them, the player may need extra bodies to help him detect his troubles. That's the advantage of opening up to people about our gambling habit. People can easily watch over our behaviors.

There are tons of situations or happenings that those jackpot winners did really lose all of their money back into the casino or gambling itself. When it comes to greed then this is something that always been part of human nature or behavior on which on the time that we are speaking or talking about money then this is something that makes us interested and would really be keeping on dealing with it until the very end.
Its true that people should focus up that much into the possible loses that they would get or would be able to make instead on thinking about being a winner because once you do have this kind of awareness in mind
then you could really just that completely stop yourself if you wanted to or on the time that you've seen that you are already making profits but since you could be able to stop but doesnt mean that you wont really be coming back to gambling again on another day. This has been always the scenario that you would really be tending to deal up with. Make use of the amount that you can afford to lose as always so that you wont really be that making yourself that get stressed too much.


The challenges shouldn't be the reason why gamblers will quit the game. Its captivating nature drags more players to try again next time, despite losing out big previously in the game. What is most important is not allowing those challenges to destroy our lifestyle. Gamblers are facing difficulties in unique gambling sessions. Issues hard enough to sidetrack a player's prior ideas to a wrong and abstract plan. The player on his end would accept he's utilizing a smart strategy, but from other people's observation of his behavior, he'll be hurting himself financially. However, not all gamblers get scared of the challenges, due to the money that gambling offers. Even newbies tend to play more after experiencing few wins.

The money comes sooner that players can't get over playing again. Making fast profits is another gambling setting or strategy that has led multiple players to compulsive gambling. How they subside the energy meant for their daily business, and focus on gambling, shocked me in the past, but don't recently. When I found out they're made to see gambling as a business. Because it can yield wealth. This thought is viral and widely accepted by lots of gamblers, showing how gamblers don't care much about responsible gambling. If they were, players would have been craving for the truth they once sought in gambling. Most players depend on what other gamblers do and tell them. Their knowledge of responsible gaming is limited.
244  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: April 20, 2024, 08:32:22 PM
When people lose their bet, the first thought that comes to their mind is that the casinos are not fair to them but I must tell you for free that once you lose a bet, it is normal and that's part of gambling, in gambling you must lose, you don't expect to win always in gambling, I must state categorically that our mindset deceive us sometimes but we should understand that the matches played are transparent and the result you see in the screen or live is what is being used to make the finally decision of your bet, so it is better for us to think straight by expecting two things to happen when we place a bet and those two things are, once you have a stake on a match it is either you lose or you win and know one will be held accountable for the outcome of your bet.

Having in mind that gambling deals with loss or loss, helps a gambler to focus on what matters, playing responsibly. Picking a win as a priority will put confusion in the gambler's thoughts. Due to the settings of gambling, which portrays both results with wins not showing up easily like losses. Going all in is a gambling strategy that requires some proven certainties before utilizing it. Blinding wagering all in will be detrimental to the player, as he's not sure whether he'd win or not. Games where all-in can be used safely differ, I'd personally do that on poker rather than on slot games. As slots results are not guaranteed. But with good observations of other player's game, a gambler can make big wins in poker games using the same risky all-in strategy.

The disadvantage of going all in is that it can be addictive. And the strategy's disadvantage is nothing close to its advantages in any form. When addicted to going all in, the player will never have any funds left with him, whenever in the casino. Additionally, it's not an enjoyable gambling strategy. It shortens the game and leaves the player with a one-time luck trial. Splitting the funds into smaller pieces grants the player the opportunity to enjoy more time in the casino. Even enables the player to have a second thought about his decision while in the game.
245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: April 20, 2024, 08:16:37 PM
the thing is that when you take a child not to do something that you think that is wrong I think that you should not be doing those things you told me the present of the child so when you started doing those things your mentioned to them or you told them that is wrong in their presence they would think that you are lying to them that is why some people do emphasize that we should not Gamble in the front of our children or do anything wrong in front of our children because children do copy or take the step of the parents as good thing, that is why we don't bring up what we know that is bad or discussion what we think that is bad in the presence of children.

No matter how bad we are, when we are with our children, as much as possible, never behave badly in front of them, that doesn't mean we are fanatical or hypocritical or pretend to be good in front of our children. However, if we behave badly and show our stupidity in front of them, not only will they imitate this, but it will also be a reason for a child to become disobedient and not want to respect his parents. And it's true what you said, that apart from us having to behave well in front of them, we also shouldn't talk about the dark times we've experienced, because that could be a reason for a child to do the same thing as what his parents did. .

And of course we all know very well the risks posed by gambling, drinking or other negative things. even though we are gamblers or drunkards, no matter how drunk we are and no matter how addicted we are to gambling, as parents we always want the best for our children. No parents are perfect, with all the shortcomings we have, and all the stupid things we have done, we still try to give them the best, don't let them do bad things and stupid things like what we have done.

Kids deserve some respect from their parents, to be able to return the respect in same energy. Whatever behavior a father or mother exhibits in their kid's presence will register quickly in the child's brain. And he'll hardly avoid practicing those things even when said to be wrong or bad. Seeing his parents do it, validates that it's a good thing for kids to do. Gambling is widely spreading around every existing society, yet parents shouldn't be the influencers who help in marketing gambling to kids. Gambling in the presence of kids will only create a society where young people will abuse gambling profusely. Hence, when gambling, kids should be sleeping or busy with school assignments.

Nothing should link a parent and his kid to gambling, except when the need arises. Maybe when the child is heard using some gambling terms, he can be questioned about his involvement in gambling. At least he'd say something reasonable to help detect if he's interested in gambling or not. Aside from that, parents who gamble are expected to reduce their involvement in the game. To help build a responsible family that produces kids that'll help influence kids to behave rightly. Upbringing kids in the gambling way, will only hasten the rate at which young people get influenced by peers to begin gambling.

In my end, my strategy is to reach a certain amount before I call it a day; for example, if I need to reach $100, then that is my goal. My technique is to bet small first just to get my confidence up, take it slow, and let the game go into you. When your confidence is up, then that is the time to bet small and a little bit large compared to your first few bets. Also, don't get eager to recover all the losses you had because it might be a problem if you keep on chasing and recovering all the losses, and if you keep chasing, you might get your bankroll emptied. So I just take my time and slowly get my goal for today, and then I am done. If I lose all my capital for the day, then I am done for the day too, so that is why I am taking things slowly so I won't get zeroed that fast.
Hmm if this strategy is actually working for you then you are good to go because from my experience gambling whenever I try to go up with my stakes something always goes wrong and I don't know if it's because I become too extra careful or because I tend to think of getting the funds quicker so what I do is that I just maintain my level at which the winning keeps coming and then whenever I experience a loss that's where I stop because the start of a loss can lead to more loses and if not careful you will end up chasing your previous wins.

It's interesting to have read your unique strategies, and how responsible looking it is if applied. But gambling works differently for everyone. Hence, when gambling I'd prefer taking unique risks and listening closely to my instincts. This strategy may sound as not worthwhile, but with consistency I'd begin to enjoy the fact I'm able to detect which instinct is right or wrong. Although it doesn't skyrocket my wins or make any changes regarding the housing edge, but I feel fulfilled using this strategy. On a normal mode, applying such strategies as yours do come to mind, and will be utilized when in need. My strategies also work closely with the nature of the day, and session.

Moods can affect how a player thinks, which ends up positively or negatively affecting the gambler's decision. Working on our emotions helps in building a well-strategic gambling program. Gambling in a sad mood can lead to a losing streak. A player that holds on to playing games when in a peaceful mood, will often enjoy his game. These factors show how gambling works alongside the feelings of players. But lots of players neglect this knowledge and gamble whenever they feel like wagering money. Thereby, falling into mistakes tempting enough to cause compulsive behavior.

When we have a good understanding of gambling and addiction, of course we will be able to easily control our desire to gamble and we can limit the money we spend on gambling so that we don't spend a lot of money on gambling, those who think they can double their money in gambling bets of course Of course these people are the type of people who are lazy to work and they only think of shortcuts but they don't realize that in the bets we place it is very difficult to win so we lose the money we use for gambling and those who don't control themselves in gambling of course Of course they will experience more losses in the gambling they play.

It may be to your interest to know a good number of newbies think that gambling doubles their money. That's what gambling looks like when viewed from a non-gambler's perspective. Hence, it's super excellent for these people to accept such views as newbies. And they're now participants to achieve what they've thought about gambling; how it's the best Fastlane method of double money. Nothing else will easily derive them away from such a wrong perspective. I think the first awareness to help newbies is by reaching out to newbies to gamble alongside experienced players.

Such a relationship will remove the previous wrong thoughts of the player, and place in his brain the need to think about responsible gambling strategy. That method will easily help new players avoid excessive gambling. As someone is present to restrict some wrong behaviors. Mainly, when it's directed towards compulsive gambling. Nobody cares about the infant gamblers, it's sad. Although it's difficult to reach out to a high range of gamblers, due to the online gambling platforms all the net. But lots of players are doing their best in spreading out reasonable ideas to help affected newbies to have a rethink. I noticed that newbies only come to complain after they've bitten more than they can chew in gambling. With the help of a physical assistant, the first mistake can be settled.


248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 20, 2024, 07:19:50 PM
Taking a break sometimes work but I can guarantee you it's not all the time that this method is effective enough because sometimes even with the break, if you are still grieving about the previous lost you might still end up losing more but for the case of him actually changing the game he currently plays, well I don't really know what to say about that but sometimes changing a game you play might take some time to actually master the game and know some of the odds or games that might work for you that's if the game isn't 100% luck base .

Sincerely, I'm intrigued by your response on players who ponder on their past losses. Those memories can't be erased, but it's a sign the gambler has no new option that picks his interest. When on break, it means eliminating any worries about gambling. It's like the gambling habit is paused and won't be resumed until the designated time for the vacation elapses. A player whose facial reaction worsens out of his thoughts on past gambling losses isn't doing himself a nice favor. Changing games may not help actually. Due to the continues involvement in games. That makes no changes.

Switching from one game to another still takes out money from the gambler. Hence, trying to stop a losing streak by switching games, is not healthy. The idea of a break is quite better and more reasonable. As it helps the player to reminisce on new ideas in developing a better gambling strategy. One can't think further if he's still tied down with gambling on unique games. Slot games that don't require certain experiences wouldn't have any effect in affecting how the player enjoys the game. This means that he'd easily play other slot games, which wouldn't help stop the losing streak.

Gambler is a greedy person and that is why sometimes gamblers do lose and whatever thing they are doing some people lose out of greediness and some people also continue to lose because of greediness too, when someone is desperate to recover whatever it has lost through gambling that is exactly one of the problem we have and they what makes us to have such problem or such thinking is because of greediness, let us try to no that if you are into gambling you will lose and you also gain and the probability of you as a gambler winning more than you lose is very poor but the probability of you losing high than what you win is high, so gambling is a game of risk and is not predictable

Greediness is nearly every human's behavior, if not, a jackpot winner, wouldn't gamble again. Players wager back their jackpot earnings, despite having enough. We all seek for more money once what we once wished for is gotten. The casino uses this human reaction towards money to milk back all their money including the player's savings.

250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does the game of luck in gambling really works? on: April 20, 2024, 01:27:05 PM
We are just getting success or defeat in gambling depends on our fate so for getting any result we have no right to blame anyone because everything happens because of our fate. Some people think that they have learned all the necessary information about gambling and now they will use strategies to win but all these thoughts are useless and all things will happen according to our fortune.

Our fate cannot give us continuous wins therefore when people win at the start then they become addicted towards gambling because they admire their fate but at a certain stage of life our fate does not co-operate and we become trapped into bad addiction.
Luck is much and the best way to keep getting luck is when we keep giving out and stay close to God and doing good to people. Luck works like magic and we need to be wise enough to get luck since need use it carelessly. There are sometimes we get luck from gambling and making money without knowing how come we were able to go about it. It is good and important we decide to gamble and wait for luck to hit us suddenly with the surprise to earn more from gambling. Gamblers can earn massively when luck is available with little or no stress. The jackpot we see people winning is based on luck that is why one has to wait for their time to come.

Talking about luck in gambling, a truckload of luck may not influence always a player's winning results. The house provides intervals to how much players earn while gambling. Lots of lucky players exist, yet they don't win all the time. Hence, when stressing on luck in gambling, it's best to note that the house controls who wins or loses. Those results do not influence luck. Imagine soothsayers are not able to predict gambling results. Therefore, players despite being lucky can wait a long time with no huge wins. When we win it's attributed to luck, what gets the praise for losing? Luck has to do with both win and lose in this context. Neglecting the losses means a player has nothing to say regarding luck in gambling.

Luck depends on the obstacle a person undergoes before breaking through in whatever endeavor he's ventured into. Gamblers sometimes feel they're not lucky enough to win, and it affects their egos. Yet it's a wrong take for anybody to think of themselves as unlucky. If gambling makes one degenerate himself, he should think of doing something else. The house determines who wins or loses, not luck. But players attribute wins to luck, due to what they believe. Hence, they forget about themselves and the type of game they've found themselves participating in. Where the house can gain back even the jackpot from a player.
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: April 20, 2024, 01:12:21 PM
People who are completely addicted to gambling will never listen to you or even try to listen to you if you say something bad about gambling or stop them from gambling. Because he is completely addicted to gambling. If he is so addicted to gambling, even if his family members catch him, he will never come back. At some point, they may realize that when they lose their money, they become almost destitute. Can but then understand and do not do anything. People who are addicted to gambling are wasting their money by gambling and causing trouble to their family along with wasting money but this kind of gambling can never bring happiness and peace to anyone's life so everyone should be aware from this kind of gambling because gambling is such a thing. They are losing their cash by playing which they might once win money and after winning that money they become more desperate that they will gamble the next time they gamble.

Addicts in a certain level of addiction develop countervailing reactions. Against whatever conversation that demeans gambling. They're not aware of their addiction. But within them are reserved to protect their compulsive gambling habit, it seems right. When conversing with a gambler, it's crucial to observe how to chime in contradictory responses. Selectively adding effective responses that could help the player have a rethink, helps. Shoving it down the addict's throat will only cause a severe argument, capable of making him avoid the adviser. Mental health disorders are chronic and require a gradual healing process.

Yelling or shouting at the addict only worsens his thoughts. He could think everyone around him envies his money making venture. Quite correct, they're wasting money, but it's not done willingly. The behavior is no longer under the addict's control. Before thinking that the addicts knowingly decide to hurt their families, you should ask yourself who in his right sense wants to hurt his family. Problem gambling, yes, is self-inflicted. Which is the reason everyone has ill responses about addiction. But when a person is already in that condition, he should be appropriately helped. Don't think they wouldn't listen; it all depends on the sense of approach.

You have been losing gambling for three weeks so why did you not take any break from your gambling during these three weeks. You should definitely take a break from gambling during these three weeks. If you had taken a break from gambling during these three weeks, you would have made your gambling decisions in a healthy mind that would not have resulted in you losing consistently. When a gambler is consistently losing at gambling, it is best for that gambler to take a break. When the gambler takes a break, he can easily mark the mistakes he is making in gambling and if he can mark his mistakes, he will try to correct them so that he does not have to lose constantly.
He could not because he is now chasing his losses rather than thinking how to stop losing. As he preferred to gamble more and chase his losses, the more possible he could no longer get his money back.
Very unfortunate, but many gamblers have this wrong mentality. In fact, losing straight is an indication that we need to stop or take a break. Gambling is about luck but sadly, luck never comes to us always that is why, sometimes we need to use our instincts. Losing 5 bets straight is enough to stop IMO and just come back after a few days. I did this and it is quite helping me not to fall into addiction.

Losing streak doesn't roll with no wins at hand, the player will get a few wins before hitting the losing streak. This means he could begin thinking of gaining back those wins after the losing streak is over, which traps the player not to hit the quit button. The decision is in the player's jurisdiction to make, sometimes, but in other ways, the player could be suffering from a loss of control. However, when a player struggles with decision-making, he is not in total control of himself. Gambling can take away the energy of a player, making his willpower weak.

Taking a break is a valid means of recuperating the brain and redirecting it to think better while gambling. Nothing beats taking a rest whenever we are emotionally exhausted by gambling. If a gambler is battling with more than 5 losses at a go, it should be in his best interest to stop, immediately. Unless he's patiently out of greed waiting for the win streak to arrive. Which is a bad move for any gambler. As the winning streak doesn't show up without a touch of losses rolling with it. In a nutshell, winning or Losing streaks should determine when a player stops a session.

Funny how we didn't grow up seeing adults having sex openly, but there has been a high rate of sexual activities recently. The web introduces all forms of content that could arouse a person's interest to try out something. There exists lots of expensively made attractive ads online, to attract the interest of young people. Same way sexual contents are made available to increase young people's interest in sex. Which increased the high rate of sexual activities. With the high increase of gambling-related content online; streamers making up some crazy dramatic results. Young or growing people will develop a strong interest in gambling.

I think I have found about sex when I was in kindergarten. I did not know all the details and nuances, but knew some bad words and that man and woman must do something together. Kids told me that. They found about that from elder friends, brothers and sisters. I did not show off that knowledge, not in front of parents. But when older kids talk, I knew what they were talking about.

The same will be with gambling. Adults hide it from kids, but kids turns to be knowing what it is already from other kids. Believe me. And social media will only fasten time when they get familiar with gambling. I think there is no solution to that. You cant ban all the internet content and not let your kid be friend with other kids. Do what you want, but the information will leak anyway.

Fast enough, kids will quickly get acquainted with gambling information in the current internet lifestyle era. Nothing beats peer influence, in all contexts. I understand as kids we all know of some unfamiliar things; that no adult would believe a child is aware of, but things do change along the line. It's all attributed to peers sharing information. Growing kids can't change this fate, same as their parents. However such information can be knocked off when making decisions. Parents can train their kids to be good decision-makers. Knowing that society is filled with kids with lesser home training.

It's a matter of building the child's thoughts towards something more meaningful and also allowing him to hang out with kids on the same page of thoughts as him. However, internet usage can alter all these methods, because of the uncensored gambling ads published on every social media. The child unluckily can hit the follow button of a renowned gambling streamer, which can lead him astray to think of gambling and winning big. Kids also love money. Hence, it's all a risky thing around the globe that despite not gambling around them at home, kids will know of gambling.  As said in my previous response, doing it in their presence only worsens the whole problem. It's better not to do it in their presence. Let the rest be left for them to decide.

Many people start playing only under the influence of emotions. They don't really have any game plan. I assume they will simply enjoy the process itself. At the same time, of course, it is very difficult to get pleasure from losing. But nevertheless, they do not derive pleasure from positive emotions, but simply from strong emotions. But having received many losses, over time they begin to think about certain aspects of the game. This is a kind of decentralized gambling university. Good knowledge in the field of games does not fall from the sky. It must be acquired gradually, along with experience. And experience always means losses.
It's not even about winning anymore. They're addicted to the highs and lows, the gut-punches. This ain't your grandpa's poker night; it's full-blown emotional gambling. As they keep getting wrecked, they're learning the hard way; call it "decentralised gambling university" if you like. But this is a costly self-destruction course. Before bleeding out, how many hits can you take? How far down do you have to go before you realise this isn't right? I value experience, but there's got to be a better way. This is bad for your mental health and finances. Like playing financial chicken with a semi-truck, someone will lose big

Players face multiple downplays and are prone to failing, yes, but that doesn't imply everyone would end up this way. You in multiple responses sound like gambling responsibly doesn't exist. The destruction you've pointed out is crystal clear and known to every player. But, within our reach, they're lots of gamblers who don't experience the mental illness caused by gambling. Greed is a neglected factor in this response of yours, that causes the problem you seem to use in defining gambling. A "decentralized gambling university" is a term for the first I'm seeing, but in a lay man's understanding, it shows how gambling affects players individually according to how they participate in the game. Players who don't get satisfied with what they own, will get into problem gambling. So, if an ungrateful player regrets every wager of his, he'd probably throw in some money that'll appear to him, after, as a huge mistake. Hence this behavior helps in elaborating more about the individual consequences players have to face in gambling. Not all players will bleed out in pain on the long run. The choice relies on a gambler's reaction to impulse.

Why gamblers easily forget that gambling is for fun, should be researched. Players who had in mind before gambling that it's going to be fun, go home, or end their session sad. The intended reason for fun causes the misunderstanding. Winning defines happiness to most players. Hence, when the win is not being achieved as expected, the player would feel sad. Therefore, the intention behind gambling for fun is most important.

Everyone claims they gamble for fun yet forget about what makes them happy. It's just a self-claim without backup. If a player's intention is for fun, win or lose. He's doing it for fun, and doesn't care about what he gets in return. The behavior is better than those who conceal winning as the aim of saying they gamble for fun. In a short time during the game, the player will forget he's meant to be enjoying the game because the losses are much more than he ever imagined.
Because of addiction, you will forget everything including having fun.

If the player does not have control, it will cause a lot of misunderstandings between the beginning to have fun but when it ends up being brutal because of losing, this is often encountered by those who are not disciplined in bankrol or whatever it is just an addiction.

Yehhh including me claims gambling just for fun, but even though there is a sense of sadness when not winning it will be considered natural but I have felt satisfied with the sensation of playing slots for example.
As long as there is no goal to recover losses then you will be fine, when the bankroll is exhausted stop gambling, come back when the bankroll has recovered that's what I do.

It's great if a player is not battling with himself while gambling. Having reserved money helps a player regain some happiness once his session gets self-terminated. Leaving the stopping regulator to exhausted money may be annoying at some point. Lossing out everything shortens the gambling duration in the long term. Money left in the bankroll can be used to gamble some other times. The game continues, it's not just limited to one session. I see gambling as an activity that doesn't stop. It's a continuous process.

Taking a break is what players do. So, deciding to rest only when our bankroll is empty, eliminates the priority of self-controlling when a session should stop. Chasing after losses is a disadvantage to the player's bankroll. The house isn't running away. Coming back next time helps in strategizing our moves. Trying to get the losses all in one session, causes anxiety. As the player wouldn't have enough energy to think accurately. Thereby blindly gambling for more profits.

There is an unpopular opinion, that gambling every day might trigger person not to gamble in future or even stop gambling.
The more a player wagers the more he'd get gravitated to the game. It's not like food or other activities that get weary over time.

I think if you are new, then it is necessary to play almost every single day so you may get familiarized with the online platform, the rules, and the support. You may also get to develop mastery to specific games and bonuses. In this stage its very exciting. But overtime, it will get boring and you will learn that you don't need to play every day and you need to rest on days you are losing. So overtime you minimize your exposure. However there's risk to most people because instead of developing strategy, they may get addiction instead. So always play responsibly.

A newbie who participates daily in gambling needs close to him an expert for guidance. Wagering every day for a newbie is risky, but advisable to acquaint him with the rules. Without the help of another gambler, a newbie may not be aware of self-control while gambling. He could get attached to the game so tight that he may not pull out. Despite the early stages of gambling, as a newbie. Holding to an experienced player to unveil strategies to the newbie, works faster in protecting the naive player from compulsive behavior.

In this compulsive gambling stage, the player will never get tired of gambling. Notwithstanding how long he's been a gambler. The game is enjoyable even when responsible. Don't think a newbie will easily abandon gambling if he's not losing all the time. Placing all the necessary skills, self-concept, and determination as the priority shields a player from addiction. But it's difficult for a newbie to utilize those skills on his knowledge.

I love the fact that the Op said he's aware of the rules of gambling which in return would make him not become addicted, well the thing is that most individuals are not willing to learn, they feel since people are making profit it makes gambling import therefore they'll want to keep trying their luck until they win a jackpot from gambling, not knowing that it could lead them to become addicted.

 Well if only the casino sites would give some gamblers a clue about ways of avoiding gambling addiction, but come to think of it, do you think they would want to when they make more profits from those addicted gamblers for me the answer to that is no, addicted gamblers spend more time gambling and more time spent either means more money made or lost and we all know the money lost by a good number of addicted individuals is more than what they profit.

Gamblers, more than a few, may be willing to learn, but have no material to read or aren't aware there is something to learn about gambling. A lot of players in traditional settings don't care about reading up on gambling limitations. Yet some of them don't get addicted. And many gamblers who are aware of this information, go ahead to get addicted. Is this information on strategies worthless? one would ask. Why are gambling scholars also getting addicted? this question puts things straight and reasonable to say, reading lots of this guide with no genuine practice, a gambler is as good as not reading them in the first instance.

On the second flip, nobody is sure about what the casino feels about addicts. But, if the phrase " gamble responsibly" is a clue to responsible gambling. Then the casino is not interested in having addicts participating in their casino. Some casinos ban addicts and report them if found using another casino. Hence, it's unrealistic to think of all casinos glad for gambling addiction, due to the money it generates them.

Chasing the win can makes us lose much money, especially in the gambling games based on luck. We don't knows when we can win. Even if we try so hard to win but if we don't have luck, we can't win. What we needs to do is just playing gambling as usual. We don't needs to have a target to win and just enjoy the games. Maybe the luck will comes to us when we can enjoy the games because sometimes I see this thing happens to some gamblers. Their minds are not thinks about the win instead just trying to enjoy their spare time by playing gambling. But we still don't knows when our luck will comes and even we try to predicts, our predictions can be wrong so it's better to enjoy the gambling games as an entertainment and lets the luck comes to us. The luck factor comes to the right person and that will be rolls from one people to the others.

The luck factor will always be something decisive, because personally I have always said something, we know that for the casino we must have a lot of luck, and we do not know when we have this luck factor, we do not know what can influence it, so this is something that is not predicted, no A calculation is made so that luck acts, that is not the case, so the things you try to do to win more, sometimes the strategies work, but in casino games, for me the first thing is that you have good luck if you want earn money; Otherwise, I don't think strategies are a great option to try to make more money.

I believe that each of us has to make our own luck with knowledge, in fact I believe that luck is a factor accompanied by knowledge, that way you can win.


I hardly succumb to coincidence, and what Op's friend thinks happened is far beyond his understanding. Luck is a personal experience, people who don't gamble or suggest ideas with us while gambling, may not influence our luck. I think the player out of joy, accepts that Op contributed to his winning a huge amount. However, in terms of knowledge influencing luck, as you said. Do you think the endless hours players spend analyzing games helps in adjusting their luck?

Some players who before gambling don't digest the previous games, still make correct predictions. It's luck with no knowledge. Pure luck, in this context. Meaning that, if a player is not experienced in gambling, he could win. The things we do to win money don't exist. Except winning in other contexts like critical thinking and money management. Possessing such skills sounds like a win to me, because it could be implemented outside gambling. Giving the player a better reason to gamble, to learn more. Those strategies work in developing personal discipline, not making money.

Many people go to the length of gambling with the company's fund and with the way they projects themselves they would think that is very possible to restore back the funds without them knowing that, the more they give attention to gambling the more their desperation increases over the time. If they can channel themselves to reduce the time and eagerness to make a particular money or even breaking the house the more the better, because people always sees it as fun but anything that fun doesn't posse the gravity to turn into addictions just like that.

Well, one of the things that I have always said and insisted on is that one has to see the loan as the last option to do in a casino and I think even in life itself, because a loan implies having a lot of responsibility to be able to solve our problem and having to respond on time, because the person who lends the money thinks about helping, so the least that is Expected is that they can be paid on time, given this, lending money to play in a casino is the worst thing you can do. do when it comes to financial needs and decisions, I say that loans are good to take when there is a need or urgency, and for something that you clearly deserve, but when it comes to games, pleasure, it is not smart to do so, that's why I I focus a lot on the comment you make when you talk about loans, since many players do it.


Gambling with borrowed money is not a better option than staying without a gambling when with no funds. Excessively engaging in gambling, puts players in this shoe. They're directly and unknowingly doubling their problem gambling. Paying the lender will be a fresh thought in the gambler's mind. The money may not be won before the time elapse for paying back the loan. Dying minutes as this pushes players to make cussed decisions like taking a loan to repay another loan. Moving from one lender to another, seeking for refuge in settling already existing debts, is unacceptable.

Being contented with what we've got is an important gambling strategy, that reduces such annoying decisions. Enough to get the player's family into trouble, and devastation. On this ground, it's best to stop going further with the loans, and stay contented with the no-gambling decision. When there are no extra funds left for gambling. Nothing to gain in gambling with loans. Even if the money gets doubled, paying back can be a delayed, till the money is exhausted again.

Sure, all gamblers are not in for the profits. It's a self-determination, whether one wants it or not. Money or fun. Skills or health purposes. Gamblers are vastly running a game filled with unique settings, almost specifically made for a single gambler. Each gambler feels a unique drive. It's not a place where one doesn't know what he wants. We the players are fulfilling the wishes of the house. Gambling in their casino. Staying careful and focused to understand why we are gambling, helps players to find out their reasons for gambling. The choices differ, just like our nationalities, financial needs, and fantasies differ. But we share one significant reaction when our needs are not met: disappointment.

If a gambler doesn't have fun in gambling, he won't be happy, because that's what he wants and is not able to receive it. Players who focus on money, and don't win it, will also get sad. In terms of losing money, the reaction also differs according to the individual size of the money. A player who to him, lost a huge amount of money, will react strangely. Unlike a player who lost a few cents or units of dollars. If a player relies on money over his emotions, he'd suffer emotionally. Even if he gets the win, it could go back to settling his emotional stress.
You talk about gambling like people control their fate, which is a lie. Every bet and wheel spin is a rigged game where you're set up to lose but dressed like you have a choice

You can talk about "skills" or "fitness", but we both know gambling brings financial disaster. It's a life-threatening bet, and the house always wins

You claim it's about fun, money, or escape, but those are merely appeals. Part of the agreement is disappointment. Want to know why we gamble? Why do we keep falling for this well-planned scam? This system is designed to steal from us. Actually, the home is a predator, and we're blindfolded. Man, open your eyes


Sure, nobody is certain of their fate, or what it looks like. But gambling doesn't control either the player's fate. In as much as a player is not in a complete state of mind when he's losing his money, he's bound to make mistakes. Both results, win or lose, also help in confusing a player's decision. Especially his initial plans. While in the game, there are misconceptions and internal disagreements in the player's mind. Options create arguments. The player's thoughts are compelled to go against each other's suggestions. It's not a one-mind thing. Many other life activities with options do this to us.

However, gambling consistently causes this to occur in the human brain. More like emotionally battling oneself. The system wasn't designed to steal from anybody. You could be saying in the form of con. Yet it's inadmissible. Casinos provide lots of benefits to a player for his money. I understand a diverse perspective about the game leads to arguments between gamblers, on what's right or wrong. If you read carefully my response, you'd realize the self-argument a player face also could be extended to an interpersonal disagreement between gamblers, just like everyone argues on what seems right to them. Nobody is right or wrong in contexts like this, same way it's wrong to oust fun as no valid factor in gambling.
