I believe in being honest with children, but not all age groups can fully comprehend the complexities of certain topics. Nowadays, there are various types of gambling advertisements, including binary options, which can be considered a form of gambling. Explaining these concepts to a 6-7-year-old can be quite challenging.
Honesty with children is important so that they can accept the explanation and not be misinformed so that they can accept it. Maybe they will still have more questions about gambling and if we can explain it, we can explain it in more detail. But if we can't explain it, we can find other information to explain it to them. The important thing is that we can explain what they need to know so they don't go down the wrong path, including providing an understanding of the dangers of gambling at their age or when they grow up. This is necessary so they don't try it when they grow up because they already got the information from us.
3262  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: October 04, 2023, 09:53:47 AM
      -   I have a status-level account in a casino since I enjoy gambling. That isn't truly what I want. Because I am aware that obtaining a VIP membership at a casino requires a significant amount of accumulation on the platform. And I have no desire to carry that out.

Since the only thing that keeps me entertained when I gamble is enjoyment, I only consider it a win if I walk away with money that will support my family. When I play, it is also restricted; in other words, it is for amusement. Simply put, I don't really feel terrible or take the defeat personally; I'm just doing what I always do.

That's good if you don't want to get a VIP membership at a casino because the accumulated money we use to reach the VIP level is very large. But other people may be chasing the VIP level to get something from the casino, and it is profitable for them if they have reached the VIP level.

And it's better to use gambling as fun by not chasing the VIP level because after all, sooner or later, we will be at the VIP level. But if someone wants to make gambling a source of income, he should be able to think about it more deeply because gambling is not a place to make money. He should look for other sources of income to earn money.
3263  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some of country can offer you legal gambling in 2023! on: October 04, 2023, 09:30:06 AM
In this case, people who live in those countries are lucky as they have freedom to do gambling whenever wish. At least they don't need to involve in any trouble by using vpn for bypass and access gambling websites as well as no punishment need to be faced where others countries do so. But ethicality is different from one country to another based on their own thoughts. And each of those countries are right and have logical for offering and restriction gambling for their people. So if a country doesn't let you do gambling legally, it doesn't mean they are less ethical than them who offer legal gambling
Even if they are lucky, if they do not have restrictions on gambling, they will only experience serious gambling problems. And of course, they have to comply with the limits they have made so that they can enjoy gambling as they should. And it doesn't seem like it's about an ethical issue because each country has its own regulations and if a country prohibits gambling, the government must have its reasons why they prohibit gambling. And if a country allows gambling, perhaps its government has considerations too. There may be other unstated reasons why these countries allow or prohibit gambling.
3264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Before you take sides on: October 04, 2023, 09:10:57 AM
I agree with you that no one should believe in stories that they hear from someone if it's just one-sided and there isn't strong evidence to back the statements being made. However, I'm not ready to believe that things like these don't happen and even if a casino is reputable or has a lot of trust in the community, they will still at least take some action if they see that a gambler is winning way more than they should and it might be affecting them.

So, casinos are not really that decent when it comes to giving away profits to gamblers because they might be losing money themselves and that isn't good for their business. That being said, you are right that one shouldn't take sides for a one-sided story and should ask for some evidence when someone blames a casino.
Things like that can happen in casinos because if the situation were to reverse and we were casino owners, we would not be happy if there were one or several gamblers who could win continuously. We will prohibit them from following or participating in the programs we hold at our casino, especially if they win more often. And if there are stories like that, we can only follow them and hopefully, it doesn't happen to us, especially if we can win a lot of money so that we can still participate in the promotions run by the casino.

Indeed, it is not good for the casino to make a ban like that, but gamblers have another option, which is looking for a different casino. And incidents like that can happen so we have to be able to understand them.

It is true that gambling can never be a source of income because there is no real guarantee of winning. It should be played as a means of entertainment so that even if there is a loss, it does not affect anything. In the beginning, even if there is some income in gambling, people become depressed if they lose at some point. Although it seems light at first, gambling habit can change people at some point. So you should refrain from gambling for yourself, it will reduce the problem.
If they can overcome their loss by accepting that it is normal to experience loss, they will not become depressed and can accept reality. Gambling habits can indeed change a person, especially if he gambles more often, which will harm him one day. When they can control themselves in gambling, they will not chase after winning and only try to make gambling entertainment because they know that winning in gambling is difficult. Moreover, if they don't have money, they will never try to make money from gambling because it will lead to losing their money quickly from gambling.
3266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: October 04, 2023, 07:46:31 AM
The most common expression I come across is: If you stop controlling the game, then the game controls you. The key point here is that in reality there aren't so many people who can control themselves. Many begin to experience strong emotions, some want to get even, etc. I like to observe the behavior of strong players who feel a very fine line that cannot be crossed. One of these online poker players on stream directly says how he feels when he loses his temper, and he clearly understands his mistake, how he made it, under the influence of his emotions or because of a bad mood. I am in awe of such super people, they completely control the game and they are the ones who deserve to win.
And that means we really have to be able to control the game by controlling ourselves so we don't gamble too much. Even though many people have experienced a loss of self-control, we must maintain self-control because that is what we can do to not exceed the limits of our capabilities. And it seems that many of us have lost patience when gambling, so we make this mistake. This really has to end so that we don't lose self-control and can still enjoy gambling. And when you feel that you are almost losing your patience, you should immediately stop before you really lose your patience and your emotions will immediately increase, especially when you lose more. This will make you not give up and instead continue gambling, making you spend more money on gambling.
3267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 04, 2023, 07:16:27 AM
As long as you still have money and play responsibly that's good because most people play irresponsibly so they easily follow their emotions and are always greedy in playing, that's why it will be difficult to stop this behavior if it is not accompanied by feelings of responsibility, for example playing with wisely set a budget for gambling and limit the budget when to stop gambling.

I also often feel like that when I feel like I'm really enjoying the game, sometimes I forget to stop playing, but it still hasn't reached my weekly gambling budget limit, so I often forget myself when gambling and I'm sure everyone has felt the same way. that, but as long as you can control yourself and play responsibly there won't be any problems.
Yes, you are right and that is why I am still learning to be a responsible gambler because that is the only thing I can do to prevent greed or future losses. Playing gambling wisely is necessary for every gambler so that we will not experience any problems and can still enjoy gambling games.

I have experienced gambling to the point where I often forget to stop, making me lose several dollars. And that makes me really have to remember when to stop so I can reduce the number of losses I lose. And by continuing to learn to control myself, I can still survive gambling without experiencing any serious problems. But in the future, I think there will be time for me to stop gambling and I think I can still enjoy gambling.
3268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: October 04, 2023, 06:54:22 AM
Kids aren't easily attracted to that especially if that's a gambling advertisement. What they want to see while watching is cartoons, funny blogs, game streams, and anything that is funny. If that is gambling, they will just ask for that remote control and hit that skip advertisement.

If they don't ignore it, then it's not a problem. If they ask you about it then just answer them directly.

If we will hide it from them, that will just make them curious and that's a problem.
The important thing is that we don't lie to them when explaining gambling so they also know the truth. We can also provide a detailed explanation about the consequences of gambling, especially when they grow up and the problems they can face as adults. Maybe they won't pay much attention but when they become curious, they will find out on their own and what is more worrying is if they gamble secretly without their parents knowing. They can get carried away with gambling and find it difficult to stop gambling, so parents must really be able to supervise their children when they are using their devices and connected to the internet.
3269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Getting paid on gambling accounts on: October 04, 2023, 06:11:08 AM
That situation can tempt any gambler who receives payments directly in his gambling account. He would think that he would use his little money to gamble and win some money. But it would not be as he imagined because it was gambling where one would not always be able to win and it would be better for him not to think like that and decide to just withdraw all his money. If that has happened about 5 times, you have to learn to control yourself from the temptation to gamble and immediately withdraw your payment before you think about using the money to gamble. By withdrawing all the money, at least you can keep the money in your wallet and have no desire to gamble unless you really want to gamble.
3270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: October 04, 2023, 05:37:55 AM
Those who gamble below 18 years are gambling because of their emotions. But if parents of all children teach good things or try to keep these children away from gambling then maybe no one of 18 years will get involved in gambling. I  Think about the situation of those who lose all their money after gambling. If someone gets involved in gambling at a young age during gambling, it can lead to many bad consequences in his life.
If those under 18 gamble, they will find it difficult to control their emotions and may even be challenged to gamble continuously, especially if they gamble with their friends. They will compete with each other to win the game and especially to get a lot of money. And if they can't control themselves, it will make them lose all their money and from this, we already know what will happen to children under 18. They may ask their parents for more money to gamble but they will not say the real reason for asking for the money. And if this has been going on for some time, there is a possibility that these children have become addicted to gambling at an early age and this is difficult for their parents to know.
3271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 04, 2023, 05:15:08 AM
You are right. Gambling should only be considered a game. This is not a way to make money. If someone sees gambling as a means of earning money then he will become addicted to it. And the consequences of gambling addiction are dire. I know many gamblers who have lost a lot of money due to gambling addiction. And many have become addicted to various drugs besides being addicted to gambling. And its bad effects are seen in his personal and social life. And this is why I think of gambling as just a game. And I only gamble when I have extra money. Or I stop myself from gambling. It's not like I haven't lost money gambling, but even if I lose money gambling it doesn't affect my personal lifestyle much. And so we should always be aware. We can stay away from the harmful aspects of gambling only if we are aware.
This means we already know that gambling is a game and entertainment, so we don't need to gamble continuously in the hope of winning. The impact of playing gambling continuously is a gambling addiction that we may not be able to face, but we also won't know if we are already addicted to gambling. And I agree with only using extra money to gamble so that we won't gamble too often and only gamble in moderation. And always avoiding losing a lot can make us aware of the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling and we will be able to prevent it from happening to us. We must limit our gambling activities to avoid experiencing problems that will arise later.
3272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: October 04, 2023, 04:52:37 AM
I mean if you continually play you are always going to lose in the end.  The odds are tipped in the casinos favor as that's their business.  People do win the jackpots but it's few and far between.  The trick is to get out while ahead and not continuing to play, that's when you end up getting drained.  Short play time win or lose, got to have a walk away point.
If they decide to continue playing, they will experience loss, especially if it is playing slots. Slot games require luck and no one knows when luck will come. That is why, if we can limit slot games by immediately stopping playing them, we will reduce the number of losses we can accept. And even though we haven't been able to get a big win, we still have plenty of time to get it, especially when our luck comes. Many of us have experienced losses when playing slots, which should alert us and prevent many losses like them. If we can do this, we will only lose a little money but can also enjoy the slot game. We decide how long we play slots and must leave as soon as we feel we have played enough.
3273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage greed to place your bet on: October 04, 2023, 04:28:17 AM
Well, I have a saying when I play gambling, or, let's say, a mindset: "Profit is a profit; it doesn't matter how big or small it is as long as I win, not lose." This phrase serves as my limiter or boundary when I gamble. why? so that I don't feel what you feel, like having regret for not raising your stake or blaming yourself for not putting in a much higher amount, because it could be greed, you never get contented, and the result could be bad, like betting more and increasing the amount, then suddenly you lose, then you lose more than what you get from winning. In short, don't be greedy, be happy. What you earn is a win no matter what amount it is as long as you don't lose any money, period.
Indeed, profit is profit. As long as we don't lose, we have won. But what often happens is that we experience loss first before winning. If we compare the number of losses with wins, the number of losses will be greater than the number of wins. And that's what makes gamblers continue to gamble because they want to win more. But it won't be easy because they will only experience loss after the next round without experiencing a single win. But if they can feel satisfied with what they have and are not chasing bigger wins, they have had enough gambling and should be able to stop as soon as possible. If they decide to bet more, they may not win but will only lose more. And then, they might increase their bet without thinking they have been gambling long enough. If they couldn't overcome their greed, they would only suffer another loss, making it difficult to recover from their losses.
3274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Ever Made Such Mistake Before, But Won still? on: October 04, 2023, 04:09:29 AM
I never got a win because of the mistakes I made. Everyone lost because of my own mistakes. You are really lucky to be able to win without realizing that it was an unintentional mistake. And that rarely happens to many gamblers because when we make mistakes, we often lose.

Hopefully, that will happen to me so I can win some money like you. But it looks like it won't be easy for me, especially since I rarely get luck in gambling. Well, who knows...
3275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: October 04, 2023, 03:46:19 AM
In general, studies of all kinds of addictions, including addictions such as alcoholism, show that women become alcoholics much faster than men if they are placed in approximately the same living conditions.  This is probably a natural characteristic of the female body and ffemale psyche.  For the same reason, I would suggest that. in addiction to gambling and the transition of this addiction or hobby into a real addiction to gambling, which can safely be considered a disease, occurs faster in women than in male gamblers.  I made this conclusion by analogy with alcohol addiction, but of course I am not sure that this pattern holds true in the case of gambling addjiction.
Maybe the pattern can be used in cases of gambling addiction. Still, we also have to know that other factors can cause someone to become addicted to gambling, such as playing gambling continuously, not having control over the use of money, having thoughts about making money from gambling, and others. Maybe men have a chance of becoming addicted to gambling more quickly than women, but men and women have the same chance of becoming addicted to gambling. When they want to stop gambling, there must be a desire from within so that they can think that there are other things they can do and not gamble continuously. By trying to do small things that can enable them to change or reduce their gambling addiction and if they can do this continuously without stopping, they will see that they can stop gambling sooner or later.
3276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: October 04, 2023, 03:15:59 AM
When setting aside a gambling budget, you can also set it aside on a monthly basis. So, for example, you set aside 1 tenth of your salary to spend on gambling per month. Let this money be 100 dollars for example. By analyzing certain matches in your head, you can prepare coupons of 25 dollars each week that you can call exactly banko. This way, you won't lose or spend your gambling money in a day or a week. This will become a more regular and more stable program for you. If you are playing with a certain budget, as long as you violate this limit, you may start to lose the money you have set aside as savings in order to recover.
By setting aside a little money from our salary, we can use it to gamble and to learn to control ourselves because gambling can make us forget ourselves and it is difficult to control how we use the money if we don't learn from now. These are ways to treat gambling properly. But we have to be really strict with the budget for gambling so that we gamble excessively and can control ourselves in gambling. We also have to maintain the boundaries we have set and not try to gamble once if we no longer have time to gamble.
3277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: October 04, 2023, 02:45:53 AM
That's not hard to do if you're a kind of gambler who is not easily tempted to use the money to play regardless of where it came from (either from deposit or winnings from the said platform). But usually, if we have funds on our account, we tend to use it to play our favorite gambling games. This is also the reason why it is not advisable to deposit money on your gambling account just for the purpose of saving.

In addition, casinos often have a wagering requirement before you can withdraw your initial deposit so it's not really a good idea to store your funds on gambling platform.
The problem is that if the temptation gets stronger, it can make us try the money in our gambling account to gamble so that we won't realize that we have used the money. If it is for saving, we have to separate the coins we will use for gambling from the coins we will save. This is to avoid excessive use of coins in gambling because we often forget the goal we created.

It is clear that it is better to save coins for investment elsewhere than save them in a gambling account. We must be able to have other storage places to make it safer.

It would be better not to set aside any amount on a gambling site, even if it is only a small amount to gamble the next day. It would be better to deposit enough to gamble and if there is some left over, it would be better to withdraw it to a personal wallet which will be safer. online sites are always vulnerable to hacking of any kind so even if the amount is small if it is lost it would be a shame.
but everyone has different opinions and if you have a method like you say, its better to be careful, sometimes you will definitely forget to withdraw all the funds you have.
That's what I've always done all this time. Setting aside a small amount of money in preparation for gambling another day is what we need to do so as not to deposit more money. Apart from that, having a little money in a gambling account can allow us to gamble whenever we want and don't have to wait for the transaction process to complete. Meanwhile, sending another amount of money to another wallet will provide us with security from hacking or other bad things so that we can be calmer and not worry about anything.

We can only advise those who want to separate money for gambling and saving. Then they will decide because it is their money.

I will stop when I want but I don't know when I will stop. Maybe soon or a long time ago, I don't know. I still love gambling as before and have no plans to stop. During this time, I can still be responsible in gambling and not try to chase victory because I know it will be difficult for me. To reduce his gambling activities, I try to use other activities to distract myself, which works for me. So as long as I still enjoy gambling, I will probably still gamble and when the time comes, I will stop gambling and do other activities.
3279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 03, 2023, 12:31:51 PM
Gambling is for fun and not to make money. Gamblers should know this and not try hard to win the gambling. If more gamblers knew about this, perhaps cases of gambling addiction could decrease and not be so worrying. This requires awareness from each gambler, especially those who still gamble too often, to immediately reduce their gambling activities so they don't experience problems later. Only self-awareness can help them avoid gambling addiction and enjoy gambling as entertainment. People need to have a gambling budget so that they don't exceed their limits so that they don't lose a lot of money in gambling.
3280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: October 03, 2023, 12:04:14 PM
Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble
That's right, at first I was also trapped in gambling games because it was difficult to control myself and of course it was difficult to get out, if I still had money I would keep gambling until it ran out. But this was before, now I can control myself when I gamble and can control my money, when should I play, when should I stop. This is what we must have before playing gambling, namely being able to control ourselves and not be greedy. Without it you will be stuck in it.
It is not surprising that we have been trapped in gambling at the beginning we know gambling. It seems like there have been many novice gamblers who felt it, including me at the beginning when I played gambling. But it depends on the novice gambler because if he can realize it, he will learn to control himself before everything becomes worse. He will not let himself be trapped deeper in gambling so he will try not to gamble more often. Only by controlling himself he can not experience gambling addiction and keep gambling with good self-control.
