If the person in this story had a job they keeps him busy most definitely he wouldn't have all the time to gamble and it will help him not quickly get to addiction because his job will keep him away from the casino most times but when he's jobless he's very likely to want to visit the casinos most often to see if he can double up that which he's got and may end up loosing it.

That is a valid point regarding the impact of employment status on gambling behavior. Joblessness may increase susceptibility to problematic gambling behaviors due to increased free time and financial strain, and meaningful employment offers a protective factor against the negative consequences associated with excessive gambling. Employment can play a significant role in mitigating the risk of gambling addiction by providing distraction, financial stability, social engagement, a sense of achievement, and effective time management.

The demands and responsibilities associated with work can limit the opportunities for leisure activities such as gambling, thereby reducing the likelihood of excessive or compulsive gambling behavior. Steady source of income can contribute to financial stability and reduce the temptation to seek quick monetary gains through gambling. The financial security offered by regular employment may alleviate the pressure to gamble as a means of addressing financial difficulties or fulfilling unmet needs. Building supportive relationships in the workplace provides people with alternative sources of social connection and reduces the reliance on gambling as a form of escapism or socialization.

So the idea of worth it I think can never be achieved, and we can see that most people experience significant problems and adverse effects, especially in terms of mental, psychological or even destruction of relationships with other people, especially family members due to financial problems that are so bad because of gambling based on the wrong mindset and understanding that leads them to unwanted results, And as you said that overall gambling is only recommended to be used as a place of entertainment because of the possibility of risks that continue to lurk and can occur at any time without you knowing, and this is the reason that you can never get results commensurate with what you have spent and sacrificed unless you are a dealer who owns his own casino.
Those are some critical points regarding the potential risks and adverse effects associated with gambling. The unpredictability often leads to disappointment, frustration, and financial losses, especially for those who approach gambling with the wrong mindset or unrealistic expectations. Problem gambling can have profound effects on mental and psychological health. The pursuit of wins and the avoidance of losses can create a cycle of compulsive behavior that jeopardizes overall well-being and quality of life.

Financial problems arising from gambling can strain relationships, particularly with family members and loved ones. The toll on familial bonds and social connections shows the far-reaching consequences of problem gambling beyond individual suffering. Approaching gambling solely as a source of profit often leads to disillusionment and disappointment. The inherent advantage of the house ensures that most players will experience net losses. Understanding this disparity in odds is crucial for maintaining realistic expectations and making informed decisions about gambling participation.

Even if online gambling is designed to be more social some gamblers will not want to interact with others when they gamble online. I think gambling is a personal thing and so it can be both a social and a solitary activity, depending on the individual’s preferences and circumstances. While some gamblers enjoy gambling as a medium for interaction with friends or in a group setting, others may choose to gamble alone. The nature of gambling itself does not inherently dictate whether it is a lonely activity or not; rather, it is influenced by the choices and behaviours of the gambler in question.

Some gamblers especially introverts prefer to gamble alone as it allows them to focus on the game without distractions or social interactions. They may find solitude in the concentration required for certain types of gambling activities. I think even if there is a improvement in online gambling, not all gamblers will embrace this change.
The level of social interaction involved can vary greatly from one individual to another. Some people prefer to socialize in large groups while others enjoy more intimate gatherings, individual preferences play a significant role in how people approach gambling. Introverted people like the solitary nature of gambling that can be appealing as it allows them to immerse themselves fully in the experience without external distractions or pressures.

Gambling is also a form of escapism or relaxation for many people. Engaging in solitary gambling allows them to unwind and decompress without the need for social interaction. It provides a space where they can temporarily disconnect from the outside world and immerse themselves in the thrill of the game. Gambling alone affords gamblers a sense of autonomy and control over their gaming experience. They can set their own pace, make decisions without external influence, and manage their resources according to their own preferences and strategies. This sense of independence can be empowering for some gamblers. Some people may be resistant to integrating social features into their gambling routine. They prefer to maintain the solitary nature of their gaming activities.
364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: March 18, 2024, 03:34:41 PM

You can only make a good decision when it comes to your gambling habit if you have a breakdown list of amounts of your winnings and losses, so sometimes it's okay to check it or make it a habit to do it especially if you know on your own that you are consistent with gambling, like you gamble everyday, you need expenses monitoring but if you only gamble rarely, you don't need to do this.
Monitoring our own activities is a peak of awareness. Keeping track of gambling outcomes allows you to identify patterns and trends in your behavior. If you have a clear record of your wins and losses, it enables you to recognize any emerging patterns of excessive gambling or risky behavior. This awareness empowers you to intervene early and make informed decisions to mitigate potential harm.

Effective expense monitoring is fundamental to managing your gambling budget responsibly. Maintaining a list of gambling expenditures gains insight into the financial commitments and can allocate funds accordingly. This helps to prevent overspending and ensure that you maintain control over your gambling expenses. Reviewing winnings and losses provides valuable feedback on overall risk exposure. This introspective process facilitates personal growth and empowers you to make more mindful choices in managing your gambling behavior. Gamblers need to minimize the likelihood of experiencing adverse consequences associated with problematic gambling behavior.

When do you stop?

1-when you lose?
2- when you win?
Depends on which of the two happens first. A gambler, if doesn't have one for wins, should always have a limit for their losses, and when they reach that limit, they should stop gambling immediately because if they don't, they are going to lose all they have and that isn't a good practice.

When it comes to wins, there shouldn't be a limit to that, but when you see that you have won a sum significant enough for you, you should stop gambling right there and either withdraw the funds or get the platform closed for that time because if you keep gambling after getting a win, you will eventually lose it back to the house and this happens with almost every single gambler in the industry.
Having limits for both wins and losses in gambling aligns with responsible gambling practices. Setting a maximum threshold for losses is crucial to prevent financial ruin. Without a cap on losses, individuals can easily spiral into debt. Adhering to a loss limit safeguards the financial stability and avoids detrimental consequences such as bankruptcy or severe financial strain. Without a loss limit, gamblers may succumb to the temptation to chase their losses.

Implementing a strict stop-loss policy ensures that people halt their gambling activities before reaching a point of irreparable financial damage. It may seem counterintuitive to impose restrictions on winnings, but establishing a cap on wins is not bad. Continuously gambling after achieving significant winnings increases the likelihood of subsequent losses, eroding the initial gains over time. Winning streaks can instill a false sense of confidence and lead gamblers to overestimate their chances of continued success. Imposing a win limit lets the gamblers acknowledge the potential for subsequent losses and exercise discipline in preserving their profits.

Yeah, it's best to gamble with your most convenient time so that you'd be able to enjoy and taste every cent that you're spending as you do it. But if money isn't a problem to you and you just want to spend sometime gambling quickly then that's you.

Unlike us, we have to gamble in such a comfortable time so that we have the time to think and then we can't just ignore to have fun because that's the sense of gambling for the majority of us.

We gamble for some profits but mostly, to have fun.
Choosing the most convenient and enjoyable time to engage in the activity is a wise act of gamblers. Indeed, the experience of gambling can vary greatly depending on factors such as timing, mood, and personal circumstances. Gambling serves as a form of entertainment and relaxation that provides an opportunity to unwind and enjoy some leisure time. Selecting a time when they feel most comfortable and relaxed can fully immerse themselves in the experience and savor every moment of it.

Taking the time to gamble when you feel mentally prepared and able to think clearly can enhance the enjoyment of the activity. Being able to make rational decisions and fully engage with the game can contribute to a more positive and fulfilling gambling experience. Some may prefer to gamble quickly or impulsively, and others may derive greater satisfaction from taking their time and savoring the experience. The choice of when and how to gamble is a personal one, and what matters most is that individuals approach the activity with mindfulness and moderation, ensuring that it remains a source of enjoyment rather than a source of stress or hardship.
367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which of these betting Statements Do you Agree or Disagree With? on: March 17, 2024, 11:54:52 PM
One of the reasons why gambling has a negative viewpoint in the eyes of society in general is because it is all the result of the gamblers who treat gambling in the wrong way that causes bad effects to occur which in turn society claims that gambling is a bad activity. Gambling is a game of "chance" which means that everything there is nothing more than a chance and not a certainty, and this is why we are prohibited from chasing something that has already been lost because what is feared is that it is very possible that what happens is that you experience more losses, I think the bad effects experienced by gamblers who are already addicted should be an example and a lesson for us so that we do not have the same fate.
There is an aspect of gambling where the role of individual behavior and responsible decision-making shapes perceptions of the activity within society. Gambling itself is a game of chance, but it's the way in which people approach and engage with it that determines its impact. The negative effects are observed within society, it can contribute to a negative perception of gambling as a whole. Not all people who gamble experience these negative consequences, many engage in the activity responsibly and for recreational purposes.

Responsible gambling practices can help mitigate the risks associated with gambling and promote healthier outcomes for individuals and communities. The experiences of gamblers who have faced addiction and its associated challenges can serve as valuable lessons for others that implies the importance of understanding the risks involved and exercising caution when engaging in gambling activities.
368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It’s unlikely that anyone besides you will be happy with your winnings. on: March 17, 2024, 11:46:06 PM
The winnings of most people in a casino are less than the losses, which is why casino players are almost always dissatisfied with what they win, because you never have a positive balance greater than the negative balance, and that is something that perhaps if Someone comes and Says that they always do well,  it can cause annoyance and envy.
The discrepancy between winnings and losses is a common phenomenon in the world of gambling. The imbalance between wins and losses can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction or frustration among players, because they may perceive their gambling experiences as more financially draining than rewarding. Hearing claims of winnings from others can evoke feelings of annoyance or envy, especially if their own experiences have been less favorable.

Some gamblers may experience occasional wins, but it's not uncommon that gamblers face more losses than gains in their gambling endeavors. This is why realistic expectations and acknowledge the inherent risks involved are important. Maintaining a balanced perspective and exercising responsible gambling practices can mitigate the negative effects of losses and enjoy the recreational aspects of gambling without succumbing to disillusionment or envy.

Casinos or bookies will get good results thru advertising if the platform itself is known to the community by good reputation. Meaning, the site itself has earned its credibility throughout the years of their operation, and this is not an overnight task to begin with. Besides, it is quite easy to promote a casino, in which, everything is already in place and just needs minor fixes.

There is significancy of reputation and credibility in the success of casinos or bookies, particularly in the realm of advertising. A solid reputation built over years of operation can indeed be a powerful asset for any gambling establishment, because it gains trust and confidence among potential customers. Establishing a reputable brand in the gambling industry requires a commitment to fair play, transparency, and customer satisfaction.

Casinos and bookies that prioritize integrity and professionalism would be more likely to attract and retain loyal users who value reliability and quality service. Advertising can certainly help promote a casino or bookmaker, but building a positive reputation is an ongoing process that involves consistent efforts to deliver exceptional experiences and uphold high ethical standards. A reputable gambling platform is not only offers various gaming options but also prioritizes the satisfaction of its customers. Casinos and bookies have to earn the trust and loyalty of their costumers to position themselves for long-term success.

The job of influencers is quite obviously to influence us, and it is our job to not let them influence us to take decisions that are not favorable to us, and as long as we remain vigilant, this should be reasonably easy to do, since people like us already have a lot of experience that we have accumulated over the years, so as long as we are critical of the content we watch, we may catch any inconsistency on the claims of those influencers and know whether their words can be trusted in a matter of minutes thanks to that experience.
Influencers have significant power in shaping public opinions and behaviors, but It's up to the people to exercise in deciding which influences to follow and which to reject. Our accumulated life experiences are valuable tools in evaluating the credibility and reliability of influencers and their messages. Remaining vigilant and critical of the content we consume can identify any inconsistencies or discrepancies in their claims. Those enable us to make informed decisions about whether to trust their messages.

In today's digital age, we have the means to fact-check and verify the accuracy of their statements in a matter of minutes. We need to challenge misinformation and separate fact from fiction, because It's a must for us of safeguarding ourselves from being unduly influenced by potentially misleading content. Maintaining a healthy skepticism and relying on our own judgment can navigate the influencer landscape with confidence and integrity.

Maybe because of the rampant gambling advertising happening in gambling world now , almost every area of internet now has Gambling post that is now even very young kids are being a target of these advertisers so I think that made the lawmaker to have this in their target bills.

imagine you are allowing your kids having their facebook that you limit their friends and communications but here it is , those gambling ads popping everywhere? sorry but in this part I agree with the law makers .,
This is a concerning trend in the gambling industry. Gambling advertising across various online platforms can potentially expose kids to gambling-related content. The widespread presence of gambling advertisements in digital spaces poses significant challenges for parents and caregivers striving to create a safe online environment for their children. Even with strict privacy settings and limitations on social media usage, the pervasive nature of gambling ads makes it difficult to shield young individuals from exposure to such content.

Given the potential impact of gambling advertising on minors, it's understandable why lawmakers may be inclined to address this issue through legislation and regulatory measures. Imposing restrictions on the marketing and promotion of gambling products aims to mitigate the risks associated with underage gambling and protect the well-being of kids. It would be stupid if there is no policy regarding this concern. Efforts to limit the visibility of gambling ads on digital platforms align with broader initiatives aimed at safeguarding vulnerable populations from the potential harms of excessive gambling exposure.

👉how do you really feel when you lose money on gambling?  Do you feel bad or just lie to yourself that's it was for fun?
I don't feel bad whenever i lose money when gambling, but that is because i don't gamble with an amount that i cannot afford to lose, people who feel terrible when they lose money to gambling is mostly people who put too much money into it, money that they cannot afford to lose. I can feel bad if i was unlucky in a bet, i.e. if i go for soccer betting and i got one prediction wrong, i would feel bad, but not because of the money i lost, but because of i was not lucky.
Yes that's right, those who are sad to lose their money because of gambling are those who use more money than what they can afford to lose in gambling, maybe someone's view of having fun in gambling is different, the case may be like what you said we feel happy but we also feel bad because we lose like unlucky. This can also be different, there is someone who gambles no matter he loses even though the upset is there because he lost the bet to his friend, but does not see how much money is lost, but sees that when watching the ball is fun if betting, and losing is a reasonable option when not lucky, the important thing is that we are not impulsive if take a bet.
There are varying perspectives for people have regarding gambling and their reactions to losses. People who feel sad because of wagering more than they can afford to lose. This can lead to feelings of regret, frustration, and even guilt, particularly if the loss has significant financial implications. There are other people who focus more on the enjoyment of the experience rather than the financial outcome. For these people, the entertainment value of gambling may outweigh the negative emotions associated with losing money. They may view losses as a natural part of the gambling experience.

The social aspect of gambling, such as betting with friends or enjoying the excitement of watching sports events, can also influence the perception of losses. In these cases, the camaraderie and shared experience may mitigate the disappointment of losing money. Regardless of people attitudes toward winning or losing, the key to responsible gambling lies in maintaining control over their impulses and behaviors.
373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How your feels? on: March 17, 2024, 10:43:33 PM

There are times we would have invested that money that we spent gambling in an altcoin and it'll crash then we lose the money without having any entertainment from the money but when we used it for gambling and even though we lose the money, we had fun losing it. Gambling is entertaining and it's not that you completely lost the money without having anything in return. When we're gambling, we're entertaining ourselves therefore anything that happens to the money shouldn't be thought about.

The thrill of the experience itself holds value, regardless of the financial outcome, because it's a recreational activity akin to other forms of entertainment. Investments in assets like altcoins carry the potential for financial gain but also involve inherent risks, including the possibility of losing the invested capital. Unlike gambling, where the primary goal is entertainment, investments are typically made with the expectation of generating returns or preserving wealth over time.

The consequences of losses in gambling are typically limited to the amount of money wagered, whereas losses in investments can have broader implications for the financial stability and future prospects. Losing money in gambling can still provide entertainment value, but there is distinction between gambling as a recreational activity and investments as a means of wealth accumulation. the primary goal in gambling is indeed entertainment, with the thrill of the experience often outweighing the financial outcome for many participants.
374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is best for a player to draw the line? on: March 17, 2024, 10:23:14 PM

Obviously gambling is an activity that can be very addictive and one of the reasons why this activity can be addictive is the opportunity to earn money which most people are deceived by what the "opportunity" means, I see most people think that gambling is a quick way to get rich or a place to solve financial problems, when in fact it is quite the opposite which if you come with the wrong understanding this place will actually cause a lot of financial problems like what is done by people who always try to chase losses when in fact that action will only make them experience more losses.
The hope of quick money and the perception of gambling as a solution to financial problems can be deeply ingrained in the minds of some people. Some may experience short-term wins, the long-term outcome tends to favor the house. Chasing losses is a dangerous behavior that can exacerbate financial troubles rather than alleviate them. It's stupid to have a belief that continued gambling will eventually lead to recouping losses, because each bet is independent and carries the same risk of loss as the previous one.

This cycle of chasing losses can quickly spiral out of control that can result in significant financial harm. Gambling has to be done with a realistic understanding of the risks involved and to viewed primarily as a form of entertainment rather than a means of making money. If people can't apply responsible gambling practices, such as setting limits on time and money spent, they would be hard to mitigate the negative consequences associated with gambling addiction and protect themself from financial ruin.
375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which player are you? on: March 17, 2024, 10:12:12 PM

Actually many gamblers has this burning desire to continue right after a loss because they want to see or try if they can recover. For me, it is because I think the next results are going to be positive. We know gambling games right? They sometimes need to be heated or fed first before they will return the favour to you.

The desire to continue gambling after a loss is a common phenomenon among many gamblers. Gambling games needing to be "heated or fed" before returning the favor resonates with the perception held by some gamblers that luck is a finite resource that can be manipulated or influenced through continued play. This mindset may stem from superstition or a belief in patterns or trends within gambling outcomes. Heated gamblers often overlook the gambling outcomes are inherently random and independent of previous results.

Each bet is a separate event, and the likelihood of winning or losing remains constant regardless of past outcomes. The idea that a loss can be "recovered" through continued play is a misconception that can lead to further losses and potentially harmful gambling behavior. Feeling hopeful about future outcomes is common, but gamblers need to approach gambling with a rational mindset and adhere to responsible gambling practices.

This is very true because there are many fans in soccer and when it is their local team and when they are strongest in their sports ideology, then they are very fans, they are even capable of fighting in the same game if their teams lose, so that is the kind of People who bet so they know that their teams will win because they see it as Something of loyalty and that they do not fail in their Principles, in this winery of ideas I think that everyone can make a Difference, if there are people who always seek to make bets and earn money, because I believe that they should not mix their feelings, although to be honest, that costs me a lot.

The allegiance of fans extends beyond mere fandom; it's deeply rooted in their sense of identity and community pride. Fans place bets on their favorite teams with the expectation of victory. They view it as a demonstration of loyalty and unwavering support. This emotional investment can cloud judgment and lead to biased decision-making, particularly when it comes to predicting outcomes.

There is distinction between betting for emotional fulfillment and betting solely for financial gain. Some may prioritize financial returns over emotional attachment, and others find fulfillment in expressing their support through betting, even if it means accepting the inherent risks involved. Feeling the intersection of emotions and betting can indeed be challenging, because as it requires separating personal biases from objective analysis. It may be difficult to detach from one's emotions entirely, but maintaining a level of rationality and perspective is essential in making informed betting decisions.

Gambling is just one thing that works in a way that amazes people most of the time. There are times that you will be hit with luck up to the extent that you might not even be able to control the joy that might come with it because the winnings you will have during that period will give you a kind of happiness that will cover up all your losses, even if the amount won in total can't be equal to the amount lost in the past.
 
But this season, when you are winning too much, don't ever use it because you believe luck is on your side to take reckless betting decisions like staking more than you used to or even going against your betting techniques, as that might lead you to losing more money without even realising it, especially when you put too much hope in a particular game.
Gambling has fascinating aspects, which are the unpredictable nature of luck and the exhilaration it can bring when things go your way. Gamblers need to approach winning streaks with caution and restraint. It's tempting to ride the wave of wins and increase our bets or deviate from our usual betting strategies, but doing so can lead to reckless decisions and result in greater losses. The key is to maintain composure and stick to sound betting principles, even during periods of wins. Rather than letting emotions dictate our actions, it needs to remain disciplined and adhere to predetermined limits and strategies.

When gamblers place too much hope or confidence in a particular game, It can cloud judgment and lead to irrational decision-making. Each bet needs to placed objectively, considering factors such as odds, statistics, and risk management, rather than relying solely on gut feelings or emotional impulses. Gamblers need to be aware of the potential pitfalls of succumbing to overconfidence and being grounded in rational decision-making, because it can maximize their chances and enjoyment in gambling while minimizing the risk of substantial losses.

Time control and money management is something that can indeed stop some of the things that arise in us in gambling, such as greed, impulsivity, compulsive attitudes and things that can trigger our emotions to become disorganized and our mentality becomes bad because of being carried away.
So that's why time management is very important, one of which is knowing when you have to work, when you gather family, when you worship and when and how long you gamble in a week or day, but I'm pretty sure many people miss this and don't care about time issues, because indeed time discipline in life is the most difficult thing for anyone to do, because people who can manage their time are happy people.
Time management and money control indeed play a vital role in mitigating the negative consequences associated with gambling, such as greed, impulsivity, and emotional distress. Effective time management involves setting clear boundaries. Gamblers need to allocate specific periods for various activities in life, including work, family time, religious obligations, and leisure activities like gambling. Establishing designated time slots for gambling and adhering to them can prevent excessive engagement that may lead to harmful behaviors.

Integrating time management with money management is an aspect to maintain balance and control. Gamblers need have limits setting on the amount of money allocated for gambling activities and sticking to a predetermined budget, It's a method to prevent financial harm and ensure that gambling remains within reasonable bounds. If gamblers can cultivate time management skills requires discipline and commitment, the benefits in terms of mental health, productivity, and overall satisfaction would be immense. They can enjoy the recreational aspects of gambling without jeopardizing other aspects of their lives.

Sad truth, especially the last statement that you've said, more young generation that will be attached to gambling as it' easier for them to access just by simply viiting the site orthe apps and install it to their device, they can play without any notice, and with how parents are so busy nowadays, they just let their kids playing or surfing all over the internet, not knowing what's the danger is waiting for those young minds,

technology can develop more attachments to the house and more and more casinos that will be offered all over the internet as it's really rising as the technology is being use very well to create engagements and allurings offers in every corners of all available channels in the internet.
Young people being easy to access gambling sites and apps, often without parental oversight, pose significant risks to their well-being and development. It's increasingly challenging to monitor and regulate underage access, because technology continues to evolve, so too does the prevalence of online gambling platforms. The allure of engaging offers and promotions can entice vulnerable individuals, including adolescents, into participating in gambling activities without fully understanding the potential consequences.

The pervasive use of digital devices and the internet can contribute to a sedentary lifestyle among young people. It further exacerbates the issue of excessive screen time and potential addiction to online gambling. Society needs alternative forms of entertainment and healthy habits that can provide constructive outlets for young people and reduce their reliance on digital devices for entertainment. Raising awareness, implementing safeguards, and promoting healthier lifestyles can work towards safeguarding the younger generation from the potential harms of excessive exposure to online gambling and technology.

And the other key that is most important in my opinion is to have a correct and precise understanding of what gambling is, because of course even though you have caution and vigilance, you will still end up saying that what you are doing is right in your opinion when in fact it is a mindset or action that is not recommended overall in gambling, This is why we must have the right understanding because with this you will realize that gambling is a high-risk activity so that you will indirectly know about what you can and cannot do in certain situations and all of this will be easily done when you are able to think rationally based on the right understanding.
Gamblers will still justify their actions in gambling, believing them to be right when they may not be advisable overall. A thorough understanding of what gambling entails can grasp the inherent risks involved. This awareness enables them to make more informed decisions and recognize situations where their actions may not align with responsible gambling practices. Rational thinking based on this understanding serves as a vital tool in navigating the complexities of gambling. It allows individuals to assess risks objectively, resist impulsive behaviors, and adhere to predetermined limits or guidelines they've set for themselves.

A correct understanding of gambling helps people recognize when they may need to seek support or intervention to address potential issues or concerns related to their gambling behavior. A culture of informed decision-making and rational thinking surrounding gambling can better safeguard themselves against its potential pitfalls and enjoy the activity responsibly.
