As a gambler you should be able to know that lost is mostly recorded in gambling and for that if gambler keeps taking records of whatever activity that is going on within their gambling activity I believe it would either discourage them to keep gambling because when the lost is much more then they won't have that feeling to go gamble anymore though some gamblers doesn't care about their lost for any reason because what they most counts is their future benefits, most people are always optimistic of what could come next or maybe if they quit gambling their is no time something could come or possibly for them to hit their targeted games.

Their judgement is impaired, some of our human emotions like sadness or frustration and other have the potential to impair judgment. Meaning as gamblers, we may act impulsively without thinking and rational reason. And as a result, we take more risk without considering the bad potential outcomes, i.e losing more money that we should have.

So it's very hard to have this emotions, however, we are all humans, it's part of us that's why self-control is very important as well. If not, every gambling session we have, we might take that we are unlucky because we are not winning. But if we take a closer look, our emotions are interfering with the processing of information. And so there could be factors that we didn't see or fail to consider like for example in sports bettings as we don't look on numbers and statistics and just go out and put our bets.

I get your point. And I think gambling is enjoyable! But its about balance, right? Like you said, twice-a-month managed gambling isnt bad. Vigilance on the "gradual escalation" is crucial.

Gambling should match one's lifestyle and budget, not stretch it. You do it for fun, not stress, like watching a movie or eating out. Breaks might provide new perspectives. Autonomy and knowing when to stop are key.

Gambling is about fun, not profit. Fun and boundaries sustain it. To keep it positive, I recommend viewing it as part of a wider range of leisure activities.

Why do you think that i don`t do my research before i decide to help someone? It is my money and i know how to spend it, but why you decide that you know better how i have to do it?
I think that all kinds of addict made their lives worse by themselves and i don`t want to spend my time and money trying to help them. If you have another opinion - you can do it.

Even doing this for a year won't change the chance as we still rely on luck or else, we still lose. So instead of having some hopes in these games, it is better to look for other games where we have higher chances of winning, games where we don't just rely on luck but also the skills of the players like in sports betting. Because spending the whole life in these pure luck games has nothing to do with it as our chances are very slim. Unless we cheat the house for that sake which I don't think it was a good idea for being a responsible gambler. That mistake won't get solved until we choose to leave and gamble on the other games.

Gambling regularly will make a person addicted into it. If you keep doing a work daily then after sometime his conscious mind accept this fact and  build a mentality base on these facts which will directly/indirectly command your mind to continue that things daily even in upcoming days. Thus it turns into a strong habit and you have to suffer whenever you want to get out of it. And when you found that you don't have enough money for gambling but as you already decided & build such mentality to gambling regularly, then And will be in troubles. Even there will be chance to involve yourself in unusual activities because of managing money for gambling. So it will be better not to gambling Daily

Yes and most gamblers have a hard time ignoring the greed aspect of it, especially for those gamblers who have the goal of winning then obviously what they have in mind is "doing everything to win" and it is also a fact that when they manage to win then I would not call that a real victory for the typical greedy gambler, The reason is because gamblers who apply greed in their gambling activities will never be satisfied with whatever amount of winnings they manage to get, even though basically it is a large amount that might even be able to finance their lives for a whole month but still they will assume by saying "it looks like I can get a bigger amount to finance life for 3 months".

And obviously with this kind of wrong mindset and understanding it is very difficult for them to be able to apply or focus themselves and their minds on risk management, so simply put, there will be no better results in the gambling they do if they always apply greed and there is only one word they always find at the end of the session which is "regret".

Regardless of how much we lose in total while gambling,  it is still very important for us to know that losing is something that is highly demotivating and in the long run will ruin your fun which is what we first look out for in gambling,  so losing is not pleasant and not a welcome experience but since gambling is all about losing and winning,  we have to prepare for it and welcome and vear it when it happens.

People would be sticking into those places on which they do know that they could really be able to play comfortably and able to see or find the games that they are able to search up.
Best casinos would really be determined by a certain player on its own preference this is why there would really be no precise list into this one. Just like been said that
if we do tend to look around then we do have tons of casinos online in crypto space, it would really be just that depending on you on which one you would be picking
and there's no good or bad on which one you would choose.

Like you rightly said, self control is actually very vital whenever we are gambling as it'll help us not to take any decision that we might just regret later when we are done with our gambling activities.
When a gambler lacks self control and wins big in gambling, he might not wisely put his winnings to good use which will make him to regret his actions later. So when a gambler wins, he's expected to invest his winnings into something meaningful that'll financially back him up whenever he needs money instead of lavishing his winnings by making excess merry.

Even as your story make me  feels very sad but am still struggling to understand why a man in his right frame of mind will get a loan with the intentions of gambling with it, or did he think gambling is a business? Even in business you don't start with a borrowed money, so that you wouldn't be in an unnecessary pressure.

Please we should try as much as possible to learn from the ugly story of this guy here, getting a loan for the purpose of gambling with it is very wrong and should be avoided by all means.
To me I suggest you stop gambling and clear that addiction from your system first, so as to make better decisions from now on, and secondly we should stop seeing gamble as a source of income, if we don't want to get addicted.

In fact, borrowing people's money is risky and its dual risks are either losing the money because they won't pay it back and secondly you may just end up creating unnecessary enemies for yourself when you try to get them to pay you back.


It is risky to borrow people's money and more risky to borrow a gambler's money since you will end up losing the money automatically when they lose their bets, so for that, you should never borrow a gambler's money unless you are ready to lose the money, so mate you are very right when you say, the ops can borrow out only what he can afford to lose and be fine with.

Gambling can very well be a bonding activity amongst friends. But the kind of friends could determine how safe you’ll indulge in the activity. People could take the motivational quote literally. They can even take it and use it to motivate themselves, cheering themselves in whenever they incur losses. And the type of friends you gamble with would either help pull you out of that notion or swim with you in the sea of misery that would lead to addiction.

The motivational quote may really seem harmless as people wouldn’t really go on and follow such an advice, right? Wrong. People would motivate themselves and justify their actions with just about anything.

In years past before the casino and other online gambling bet platforms was discovered and brought to our knowledge, I and some family relatives used to play the card games but on the sequence some of us were becoming unserious in the game that it wasn't competitive so, we decided to have stakes with little amount of cents of $ which we could afford to loose just to buckle and cheers everyone up.
Time goes where we increases the stakes to make us more serious to the extend we began to bet about $1 which we can afford to loose at other expenditures but it seems unbearable loosing it on the caused of betting.
On a serious note, we saw this as a mere bet of competitions and not as gambling. As we advances, we saw it as a domestic gambling and not as the wild gambling that could cause one emotional outbreaks.

Time goes that it becomes unusual that we began to feel offenced and rebelled that we as relatives(1 family) are extorting from each other without empathy for one another and then, we unconciously grew wild developing in sentiments, greeds and taking it as an avenue to make profits.
Alongside, it was more of serious business than the just fun.

Then the casino and other online bet platforms was introduced in time. This was how I was exposed and my begining of gambling life!

I think this depends on each person's income. If a gambler earns 100k dollars per month they set aside 1%, which is $1000 and that is a lot of money for other gamblers and I think that is enough for them to have fun, but if they earn $500 per month they only use it. $5 and yes, that not enough for someone to have fun if they spend a lot of time gambling, especially if they think about making a profit, of course this won't provide big profits because that small amount of money can quickly run out.

I think this is not about us not having enough fun using that 1% money, but about us being disciplined and limiting our gambling so that we don't experiences too much loss because 1% is not too risky for gamblers rather than having to spend more but not being willing to lose that money. Using more than 1% of your money is okay and that's fine, but that's how you have commitment and limits so you don't overdo it when gambling.
