Not only the rich engage in gambling and drugs together. Many poor people are addicted to drugs and might engage in such practices because they can't control their behavior. I know a student who is actually the best in the department who uses hard drugs. And from personal experience, he smokes marijuana before reading. He told me that the drugs make him concentrate and understand better. I have also seen people who lose focus and posture after using drugs.

Alcohol and hard drugs can distort human reasoning but some people benefit from moderate use. If a gambler concentrates more after taking recreational drugs, he shouldn't be stopped from enjoying himself since it doesn't affect him negatively. My conclusion is that if you are aware that drugs affect your gambling activities negatively, never use them before gambling.

You are right, a gambler's financial status is quite important in facing the risk of possible gambling addiction. I saw some of my old friends who were addicted to gambling. and most of them are those who have very good finances when they start gambling.
because they can spend quite a lot of capital to play, which makes them lose control of their finances. Financial conditions that are quite good can be quite bad for beginners in gambling. The impact will be different when gamblers with small capital play with much less intensity than those who have large capital.

Gambling is not an investment and investment cannot be the same as gambling. Investing capital investment activities for a certain period of time to expect a return. Investment consists of several types that can be done by someone who wants to do it.
Gambling is an action carried out by risking. If the choice is correct or the game played wins, the player will get a reward.
I can't clearly understand what you mean.

For example, if I choose to invest in Bitcoin or gold, can my action be considered gambling because I never know the price of Bitcoin and gold in the future.
Don't confuse gambling with investing.

It depends on the provider I guess, some providers don't allow members from a few countries to take part in betting and that's why they haven't allowed sports betting in your country. You may try different casinos or different providers to see if they also don't allow sports betting in your country or they allow it. If all casinos and most providers don't allow sports betting in your country then something might be stopping them to disallow it.

Problems include gambling ads and the entire system. Profitable influencers spreading dangerous stuff to kids? That's unacceptable. Telling parents to "just handle it" is cop-out. Advertising is everywhere to lure people in. Profit drives ethics away. Even influencers need accountability. Asking for basic responsibilities isn't "censorship". Since we regulate age on everything else, why not gambling ads? Protecting young minds, not profits, isn't rocket science. We need major reform. The content influencers promote must be carefully examined. Impacting the next generation is more important than money. Doing right shouldn't be so hard

But for some gamblers, they prefer to play at offline casinos because there they can interact more realistically with other players, unlike interacting online where it is very limited to just the chatbox. They can interact directly and listen to various stories from other people or from dealers - and that makes them enjoy gambling more.

The reality that will happen with gambling is losing or winning, and I think that losing or winning has something in common, where the similarity is that both can make us curious which will ultimately make us addicted to gambling. By the time they get a win, what will occur to gamblers who gamble with the aim of winning is that they are curious about the gambling they are doing, it can still produce bigger wins, but because they are like that, the winnings that have been obtained will most likely be lost again because that will What happens more often in gambling is losing, not winning, many gamblers are not aware that the winnings they have obtained should be utilized as well as possible, but they still lose because of their curiosity.

That's right, if they have a good understanding of gambling then it is unlikely that they will have curiosity or curiosity, even if they lose they probably won't have the feeling of wanting to recover their losses because they already understand that if what they bet on is lost it is a normal thing in gambling, but if people don't or misunderstand gambling, maybe they will continue to gamble even though they have lost because their strong curiosity drives them to be able to get a win that can cover the losses that have occurred, but what is clear is that it will not happen according to what which are desired.

Nowadays everyone uses new strategies to increase their income and arrange advertisement. But not everything should be advertised. Especially gambling. Because through this a minor will end up gambling with wrong decisions. It is not always possible to solve this matter by applying the law if no one corrects himself. Although there is no restriction on such advertising in countries where gambling is legal, such advertising campaigns must not be allowed in countries where gambling is conducted unofficially but there is no official legalization. Advertising is fine for those who are fit for gambling but it will have a big negative effect on those who are still underaged. This is not an individual problem but a problem for a nation. I think such ads should be stopped to keep minors safe.

A gambler that enjoys the fun in gambling will not quit gambling even though he was once addicted, that will not prevent or scare him away from gambling. He will only gamble responsible so that he can limit his losses and don't get addicted again. Any gambler that have suffered from addiction and was able to overcome it, will understand how to gamble in a way that will not affect him.

This is why it is gamblers who are addicted needs medical help and his loved ones to help him at that critical time that he is fighting to overcome addiction in other for him to be successful, and he needs to be monitored to make sure that he does not go back to gamble at the initial stage.

It is just a friendly game between them and that explains why they don't go home with each other's money even when a winner is declared, the fact that they can bet on anything tells that it is all for fun and nothing serious attached to it. The challenge, lousiness, pride and boasts are simply the love language that binds their friendship together. I am not a frequent gambler but most times, I gambler in groups with friends.  Monies are not always involved most times but the fun and entertainment we enjoy while gambling is worth the time spent. Gambling is not all about money most times.

Been able to stop after completing the bet, you set it up and you must follow that strategy, most of the time you'll waste the opportunity becuase instead of completely quits after you made it, you choose to continue and try to find more luck, leading you to waste the winning and place you a risk of losing everything back.

Worse, instead of making money, you lose that opportunity and aside from it, you also lose your capital and regret that decision as it should be happening if you just follow your created strategy.

Gambling wrecks lives and families. Everyone's got a tale, right? It's wiring gone wrong, not badness. The brain is hijacked. We adore blaming others, but what happens? Yes, the gambler is responsible for their actions, but there's more to the story. It's in our DNA to want excitement. Calling addiction an illness is too simple. It's an illness, but it taps into something basic that the modern world doesn't always provide.  Everyone wants that next high, that feeling of life. Replacing gambling might work. But that BIG WIN craving? That's hard to erase. Understanding what humans, not just addicts, want is key

Fun is part of this disaster. Gambling for fun can be fascinating and harmless. Man, that balance is tough. How do you maintain enjoyment while containing the gloom that threatens?

Parenting is the toughest job out there. Our kids are watching us, learning every single day. If we gamble casually, guess what? They'll think its fine, and thats a path we dont want them on.

Solutions arent some complex plan. Its about being present - not just around, but truly involved.  Talk to them about stuff, even the difficult topics like the dangers of gambling. Kids deserve clear answers. We gotta get back to basics. Invest time in teaching, not just saying "dont do this." Thats the best protection we can give them. Open communication, guidance... thats the parenting gold standard, and thats what makes a difference.

Gambling addiction is something every responsible gambler tries to avoid making the right decisions during gambling activities. Most non addicts have the ability to control their emotions and rationally calculate how much they spend and stake as these help them monitor their gambling activities as well as habits. Most gambling addicts on the other hand are unable to financially manage how much they spend on placing bets during gambling activities. Majority of gambling addicts are usually perceived as gambling addicts and irresponsible persona because they usually lose more often than they win. Gambling addiction is something every gambler tries to avoid however some persons fail to do the needful and unknowingly to them they gradually drift into addiction.

The addiction of gambling is even worse than that of alcohol,in fact alcohol with a little desire and going into a dis intoxication rehabilitation clinic they have a huge success rate of well over 95% who make it out of it without the body needing alcohol anymore.In gambling is a completely different story as money is involved and the human nature is greedy,they want more and more money and riches,they keep playing until they lose everything if they are addicted,even people who go in the rehab centers to recover from their gambling addiction has a lower success rate,in fact it is 50-50 here,only half of those who go there manage to cure addiction,statistics showing that gambling addiction is even worse to be fought than the addiction of alcohol.

I share your points, they make so much sense, and I believe that anything we do in any risky activities should be erased from our minds if they are negative. This is not only because of the activity but for the sake of our health and moral self and for us to be able to be focused on what is in front of us in future and not pondering on what has passed. The past has passed, it should be left behind and that is also the reason why we should use the money we can afford to lose in gambling to make it easy for us. Also, I've condemned the supposed advice of the OP from the beginning and hinted that he was just lucky, and nothing more. I even dared him to replicate a thing like this before advising people to do the same.

If he can replicate it 3 times while he changed games and won big solely due to that, then I will believe him partially. Anything about gambling is not easy, we can only be lucky, but we should not misplace the fact that luck is different from chance and when you are lucky, just know that you are lucky and do not believe there is a perfect arithmetic or reason for it. This advice is more important in casino games, you can't be smarter than the house and the algorithms you are playing against.

However, trying other games is not necessarily bad, one may try it as it is not also good to play a game all the time. What if there are opportunities lurking in the others? This diversification was what, at least, helped the OP in his case.

I think that every influencer likely knows their target audience quite well. Given that influencers have built up a large following by consistently producing content that engages their audience, they should naturally have a good understanding of what resonates with their followers.

You're astonished gamblers trust experts? That's expected. The mind-bender is that hope endures. They're following emotion, not reasoning. Gamblers buy experts' advice for a chance to win large and feel right. Experts resemble illusionists. Their secret is selling, not predicting. They cede control, and when things go wrong, it's luck, the team, or whatever. Accountability? Please. A hustle, plain and simple. This scam works because it exploits vulnerabilities. That gambler may be broke and looking for a change. Experts promise "this time could be different", which is hard to refuse. The only winners in this vicious cycle are those selling false promises

When someone playing gambling too often, he can becomes addicted to gambling. He doesn't realizes what happens to him. If someone have a spare time and choose to playing gambling, he must be carefully and have a limitations because gambling can tempts him easily. He will not stops playing gambling when he lose some money. And he will keeps playing gambling and recovers his lose because he thinks he still have a chance to wins. That's why if someone have a spare time, he must not use his times to playing gambling instead doing the other things so that will not makes him to spends money. We can playing gambling but we must knows when to stops ourselves so we don't have to lose much money. And we must remember to take a break from gambling if we thinks we already lose some money and to avoids more loses.

True, betting while consuming alcoholic beverages is obviously very dangerous, not only for the body or health but it can also make us experience a significant amount of loss because obviously alcohol can take away a person's consciousness while they have to make decisions to bet, and it is a sure thing for them to end up making decisions that are not in accordance with their abilities such as betting very large amounts which in the end when consciousness has begun to recover then only regret is left.

I think one of the reasons why casinos provide alcoholic beverages is so that gamblers lose control when they are betting, as I discussed above that when you lose consciousness then it means that it is likely that the casino will get a much bigger profit, because when gambling is not based on consciousness and a rational attitude in terms of making decisions then obviously you may not experience any doubts at all in terms of making every decision. Physical casinos can sometimes be very entertaining because of the exhilarating festive atmosphere but sometimes they can also trap us.
