Yes, I have done it numerous times, and while it has occasionally helped me greatly, it has also resulted in me losing all of my money, which makes me regret it.

I think it's very common for a new gambler to feel increased joy while gambling.
It first takes a little getting used to, but afterwards it's like your body might be asking for a fix.
If you feel like it's hard to control impulses, it might be a good idea to go off the site for a while. There's certainly no need to gamble every day. And if you do gamble without control or a budget preset then you might also run in financial trouble. Gambling really is enjoyable but should be limited.
I totally agree with you I'm not going to lie, I'll be quite excited while gambling, especially as a newbie, and I'll be making money as well. Gambling has its unique emotion when you win, but you can't feel happy when you lose. People like or love it when they obtain free money as a profit for a modest investment, therefore I don't think people always feel excited while gambling; it varies. |

To see the clear picture and get helpful answers, I suggest to put on the other side a list of unsuccessful investments. OP has mentioned gold, bitcoin and property investments, showed how $1000 turned into hundred thousands. I havent googled much, but offhand I can name Twitter purchase. Suppose you have invested in Twitter. During two last years the value of your investment has decreased. Found list of unsuccessful investment. HP have bought Autonomy and face multimillion value loss of a company they have just purchased. So OP, when asking why people make mistakes and did not invest on early stage, think about all the unsuccessful investments people made. Because I feel like ration of successful: unsuccessful early investments are greatly below 1. Seeing the positive and negative investment outcomes side by side might help you gain a more realistic and practical perspective of what is feasible. It's common for people to lose sight of the fact that the likelihood of their investment failing is considerably higher than that of becoming the next great success story. Furthermore, there's no assurance that their gains will hold up even if they do experience some. Therefore, it's important to consider the risks as well as the potential rewards. |

There's nothing wrong if we try our luck in gambling. However, it is wrong to have a high expectation to win and worse if the funds you use are a borrowed money. A greedy gambler will likely end up like this. Sometimes you have to experience it yourself before learning a lesson. But of course much better to become aware of the worse case scenario before trying to use your money in gambling. Don't gamble hoping you can double your money in snap because that's not often the case.
I believe there are a few things one may take to approach gambling in a responsible manner. First and foremost, it's critical to establish boundaries for yourself regarding the amount of money and time you're ready to spend playing. It's also important to have a clear understanding of your motivation for gambling: are you doing it for fun or to reach a certain financial goal? Lastly, it's important to be aware of the warning signs of addiction and to know when to give up if you start to feel like you're losing control. |

For many people who become addicted to gambling, in my opinion, it is likely that they cannot resist the temptation to gamble. Indeed, the temptation of gambling is heavy, I feel it But now I can control myself because I know it is important. In order not to experience major losses we must be able to control ourselves. Also the big losses that occurred were due to myself not being able to limit the gambling activities that were carried out. As you said, have control over yourself. That's important, don't let us gamble with a loss of self-control which can result in big problems such as addiction and loss.
It appears you've learned quite a lesson from your personal experience about self control and the potential consequences of not having it when it comes to gambling. You're right that it's not just about losing money, there are also other hazzard irresponsible gambling can cause a gambler such as emotional trauma, this often happens when a gambler has lost everything maybe due to chasing losses and then ended up taking loans to continue gambling in order to recover the funds he lost, this can easily result to emotional trauma, as well as affecting your mental health and leading someone to frustration, which can often make some gamblers often attempt to take their own life. |

In my own opinion, as long as you have attained the age of 18+ you are qualified to become a gambler, so it left for you to decide whether you would love to gamble or not. Because at that age range you are responsible for any kinds of action you take and you'll pay for the consequences be it good or bad. But if KYC get introduce into online casino such that all casino start doing KYC you observe that most users are also underaged who got exposed to gambling earlier.
You make a very valid point mate, it's always up to every individual to decide whether or not to gamble, as long as they've attained the required age, this makes them responsible for every consequences their actions might result to. In other to ensure that this rule is observed, online casinos should employ a mandatory KYC verification that'll only prove the customer is up to the required age and not an underage. |

I don't see a need for trying a newly established casino,not right away at least and the reason is simple,the reputable casinos that are established a long time ago offer you everything you need to be happy,daily,weekly and monthly bonuses.The offer of a huge % for your initial deposit from these newly established casinos should be taken with caution and only after evaluating some time by checking other people feedback,only then you can deposit if the feedback is positive.
These casinos include terms and conditions, which are regarded as crucial, and clients should read them. The input should be either beneficial or detrimental. Do treat every piece of information in the system extremely seriously, because none of it is considered worthless; rather, it is valuable to everyone, as long as you're comcerned about the activities of these casinos. Though none of them is portray to be perfect, one will always spot out the complaint sector and that's why there's existence of customer care, were clients tender their complaints regarding these casinos. That's quite an observation. Yes every online casinos have terms and conditions that's considered crucial, so it's important for every customer to read and understand them before going further to make use of the casino. Because when you truly understand the terms and conditions as a player, they'll serve as a guide for you to really understand the risks and benefits of gambling as well as vital informations of the casino, like the dos and donts of the casino to avoid any form of default which may amount to losing your funds. |

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?
I would still consider gambling as fun even though I know we are still expecting from the betting winnings, but we must realize that this should not be a financial goal, if you still have a monthly salary why expect financially from gambling? If you gamble then think of it as fun. how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?
The important thing is not much of your entire income, such as a small percentage of 5% then I think it will not cause problems for you, if more than 50% I believe you will expect too much from gambling because with the remaining 50% money it will not be enough to cover your expenses. You're right that regardless of whether someone is gambling for financial Gain or just for fun, the risks involved are still the same, but what I don't know is if the perceived benefits are also the same or if people feel like there's a difference when it comes to the satisfaction they get from gambling to make gain or for fun. What's more important is that, whether for fun or for gain, one should fully realize what he's getting himself into, whichever it is, you'll still need to manage risk and always remember to risk what you can afford to lose |

I have a hanging out friend who is having trouble paying his house installments, he wanted to borrow money from me but I didn't give it to him because I didn't have the amount he was borrowing at that time, I advised him to borrow from another friend but their answer was still the same, finally, he was a little desperate and with the little money he had he put the money into the online slot application, unfortunately, instead of succeeding in doubling his money, he lost all his money because he lost in the online slot application
The valuable message that can be taken from my friend above is never take risks to gamble to pay off your debts, the pressure is very big, the chance is very small that you can pay off your debts, often you end up losing even more and losing your money. look for loans, sell your valuables or look for part-time work to pay off your debts, is a good way rather than playing the small money you have in gambling
If a person couldn't even pay their bills or necessities, then why would they even risk losing their money on gambling? In gambling or investment only risk what you could afford to lose and they couldn't even afford to pay what they need so why would they even have to risk what they have? I only agree on instead of risking the little money that they have in gambling they should focus on earning more than they are currently earning since it is clear that it isn't enough, even if they do take loan they would still be indebt so it is useless, the only solution would be to earn more. This is a fact that a lot of people have failed to put into consideration. If a person is struggling to pay their bills or meet their basic needs, then gambling isn't the best option for them, I know for some reason, gambling might look like the best way to multiply your money and then use it to pay off your outstanding bills. But this is the worse lie anyone can ever tell you, sometimes we even tell ourselves this lie, please whenever you feel that way, get rid of the thought else you might end up worsening your current situation by incurring more debts for yourself. |

I always use gambling as entertainment. I never use gambling outside of entertainment. Also more excitement more emotion harms people more the more emotion and excitement can be avoided while gambling the better. Here I say though I take gambling as a pastime but still I have some excitement while gambling I always keep that excitement under my control and sometimes participate in gambling. There are many people who cannot control their emotions and get too excited in gambling.
Yes, gambling is entertainment but many people take it as a profession. For that many people feel excited! what will occur the next because they're addict more in gambling. I think people should take it entertainment. If they take it entertainment then they will get 2 benefits. One is enjoy the game and 2nd is chance of winning. Here emotions are most important for a gambler. If emotion control brain then people will excited or if brain control emotions then people feel enjoyment. However, gambling is just a game for enjoyment. Everyone's need to enjoy the game from heart not excitement. I think the emotional component of gambling is what makes it really interesting and one of the most important part of it but a lot of people has actually ignored that fact. For some people, their emotions can be a source of excitement and even a thrill, but that can also lead to people feeling disappointed and even depressed when they lose. While to others who approach gambling from a place of fun, curiosity and enjoyment, they may be less likely to feel negative emotions if they eventually lose. It's definitely a matter of why you play, whether to win or just to enjoy yourself. |

If we can carry out this behavior correctly then gambling will not make our lives miserable, but the feeling of happiness we get from gambling is just entertainment for ourselves and we still maintain good control over every gambling game we play.
However, people who already make mistakes in their behavior when gambling will definitely experience a lot of problems in their lives because it could be that they are not just having fun but also looking for income and this is clearly wrong and has consequences. still very doubtful. .
Never develop doubts when you're in the gambling system, anything can happen at any point in time. There are games available that we seem familiar with and that's our lucky shots to trigger in the system, though it have 50/50 chances of either hitting harder profits or not. Gambling is very risky, anything we do is at our own risk. It's advisable to gamble what we can afford to lose in the system and not the other way round. We keep our expectations high whenever we found ourselves in the space, we look for substantial odds to make good use for with relevant amount of money. Gambling is indeed a very risky activity and it's important to go into it with the right knowledge and expectations and to be aware of the potential consequences. Many people are caught up with fantasy of securing a very big win, simply because they hear that people are making it big through gambling and they also wanna be part of this huge win so they increase their risks and thereby decreasing their chances of winning, and this is exactly what attracts loses a lot. So it's only fair to be realistic and know that the chances in gambling are very slim and then know the right approach to employ. |

Most of us gamblers probaly have experience that, but it's a bad attitude mate, it's like we aren't good in accepting our losses and that we would involve other people with our disappointment in gambling. It normally happen when we aren't gambling for entertainment only and we do risk money more than our budget, I would not use "money you can affor to lose", as there are times you can afford to lose the money you are gambling but it's already out of your budge, so in the end, it will have a big effect on your emotion.
I agree that sometimes even if someone has choose to gamble with money they can afford to lose, it's still possible for them to become emotionally attached to the outcome of the game, the disappointment is inevitable when the outcome takes a negative turn and the money is lost. So it's not just about gambling with money one can afford to loose but also gambling with the right mindset and attitude. |

No matter how much money a person has, and no matter how huge his bankroll are, gambling could still be a bad idea. Just because a person is very wealthy doesn't mean that they have unlimited resources and even people that are rich could for some reason, end up making very poor financial decisions that'll really affect their finances in a very bad way. Rich or poor, huge bankroll or small, the risk of getting addicted to gambling is very real for everyone, regardless of their financial status.
In one way, it may appear that the risks of gambling addiction might be worse for rich people because they have even more to risk and more to lose that the poor, and they can easily fall into depression if their gambling gets out of hand and they end up losing a great chunk of their wealth.
Those who are wealthy are sometimes considered as those who found some hidden life facts, so in essence they can be considered smarter than the poor. Before I proceed, how often have do you hear of a wealthy person who became broke because of gambling addiction? They are very sensitive about things that would get them broke. Just like I said earlier what a wealthy person might use for gambling, to the poor it's a huge amount but to him it's considered a penny leaving his pocket. There's no such thing about unlimited fund on which there would really be those rich people who do end up on being a homeless person because of too much engagement and spending with gambling. On the time that they do made out some realizations then its already too late and this is something that should really be that avoided whether you are poor or rich. There's no exemption on getting wrecked and there's no exemption when it comes on getting addicted to it. Gamble for fun and with care because once you do get shackled with gambling addiction then it is really that something that too hard to get out. You wont really be that stressing up yourself on dealing with gambling if you are really just that allocating the amount on which you can only afford to lose. You are entirely correct in saying that anyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, can become addicted to gambling. It's also true that it can be very challenging to escape the cycle of addiction, particularly if the person has already suffered significant financial loss or has developed a strong habit. What you mentioned about setting aside a specific amount of money for gambling and only using that which you can afford to lose is agreeable with me. That is indeed a key guideline to abide by in order to keep gambling from becoming an addiction and to keep it enjoyable rather than a cause of tension and anxiety. |

As gamblers, we love more action, so we tend to make more bets on a regular basis. However, experts say that when we make too many picks regularly, our chances of winning decrease. This is due to the fact that we won't be able to analyze all the games carefully that are in our ticket and won't have the advantage needed to win. So instead, it's recommended that we should value quality over quantity if we want to succeed in sports betting.
Share your opinion regarding this matter.
That is true but it is also one factor that reflects your personality as it shows what are you aiming for,a single bet to win and be happy with that max of 3-10x multiplier or are you betting like 25 games in a single parlay trying your luck in wanting to hit that super huge multiplier which we see more in slot machines rather than in sport betting.Of course the more picks the less chances but the amount to be won is huge so it all depends on what is your reason and what you want to win. Yes I couldn't agree with you more, if someone is betting with a lot of options at a time, it could mean they're willing to take more risks and also hoping to hit a very huge payout. Whereas someone who just bets on few matches at a time might be more focused on stead and long-term wins. For someone like me, I've developed a technique that enables me to make steady by little wins every single day, even if incur a few losses, it wouldn't be as fatal as we know losses to be. The technique is to only pick 2 games and pick the easiest options regardless how low the odds are, and then bet with my whole budget for the week, if it fails, then I know I'll have to wait till next week but if I win, I'll have at least 2x of my weekly budget, I'll take out half of it and still continue with the other half, and if I'm lucky that week, I'll gradually accumulate enough wins for myself. |

Is there anyway to help this person? I have given some advice to start using small percentage of the whole salary and safe the rest but still couldn't, and I don't want to help him to hold his money for him, he is over 28 years old, not a underage.
He have gotten used to this way because he started gambling all by himself and he won some money but end up even fuelling his addiction. What is next? Any tip?
Seeing the way he spends his monthly salary, it seems like he has become obliged to gamble which is definitely difficult to prevent, especially if no one is managing his finances. So you could say your friend has lost control, his life hasn't changed much even though he has worked for years but without financial management he will have nothing in old age. It's rare for me to find people like this because usually people who have a source of income know how to allocate some of their funds to just gamble. In my opinion, all your suggestions will be in vain if the person has no awareness of how to control his money. I'm sure he was addicted to gambling because he didn't think about a backup plan if one day he didn't have a source of income. Yes, financial literacy and budgeting can really helpful tools and can really come in handy when it comes to preventing overspending and gambling addiction. Without those two major tools amongst others, it can be really difficult for a gambler to control his impulses and make good financial decisions. It's very true that addiction can make an individual not to see the big picture and set plans and goals for the future. So as a gambler it's a must to posses those qualities of you must survive in the gambling world |

If that happened to me, maybe I would regret it, because it was a good opportunity which could have changed my life but I didn't take it which was a mistake. But even though I regret it, I will not drag on about it, because if it is our good fortune it will definitely come to us. Just believe that one day there will be good luck for us, don't think too much about things that have passed because maybe bigger luck will happen to us.
It's very true that life is full of countless opportunities and just because someone misses out on one opportunity doesn't really mean that's the end of his life or that we won't encounter other better chances in the future. It's so important to have faith and hope in our own abilities and future possibilities. Like the popular saying, when one door closes, another one opens. I believe another part of moving on from an opportunity you've missed along the line is to reflect on the the lesson you learned from the experience so when you approach a similar situation in the future, you'll know just exactly how to handle yourself there. This can surely help us grow and prepare ourselves more for other future opportunities so when they come, we'll be prepared and do all we can so we can't miss them. |

We live in a society where people have different views about something and these views could be drawn based on different constituent like personal sentiment, religion, ideology and experience. And speaking of gamble there are those that view it as an irresponsible activity to embark on and whoever is into it is tag as irresponsible guy, for some it beyond being irresponsible but a sin something that is evil, while some others out of an ugly experience of a loved one that got ruined by it due to extreme addiction.
It's amazing how different people's perceptions of gambling may be influenced by their cultural backgrounds, experiences, and personal values. While some could consider it a sin or a moral weakness, others might see it as a harmless kind of entertainment. As you also pointed out, one's perspective on gambling can also be influenced by the experiences of others, such as a loved one who struggles with addiction to gambling. And let's all admit that having such different views could certainly cause discomfort and confusion, especially if people are unwilling to hear one another out. |

My biggest bet in one game was $250, but that was the buy freespin bonus feature on a slot machine, I bought the freespin bonus on buffalo king megaways slot machine after I got maxwin from $20 buy bonus freespin. I was just curious what it would be like to buy a bonus feature with a big stake, so I did, and it was only a one-time purchase. I don't remember how much the free spins were but if I'm not mistaken I got about 80% of my buy in so it wasn't too bad and I was pretty happy with it.
It was really stressing to lose on game after putting in more key time to prepare the basic odds. The space is broad, you know that means, there's enough money to go round, exactly more reason why we shouldn't get involvement in problems or physical fights, I do my best to avoid these problems but they just keep appearing on my screen and you know I'm helpless in this situation. When we single-handedly fund our betting account, we just become more careful with the system because even the slightest opportunities does bring problem. I believe I'm understanding where you're coming from. Seems the risk of losing money isn't the only problem but also the mental stress and anxiety that accompanies gambling, especially when you're losing, sometimes you can't help but feel like you're being targeted or taken advantage of. Even the ads that bombards your phone from a gambling site while you're gambling, makes it even difficult for you to enjoy the game, and it's almost impossible to focus on the fun and excitement when you're feeling stressed out by these experience. |

Though I understand your points but the fact is, everyone has different financial levels, and the money that might look big to some people might look extremely small to other. This is why the topic of rich and poor gambler came into existence. The rich might think they are using money that they can afford of loss while that same amount to the poor might be too much for gambling. However when gambling we should consider our financial level before gambling or even set aside money specifically for gambling alone so you'll not end up spending more than you were supposed to use for gambling. Even the rich experience losses so the amount of money you put in doesn't matter.
No matter how much money a person has, and no matter how huge his bankroll are, gambling could still be a bad idea. Just because a person is very wealthy doesn't mean that they have unlimited resources and even people that are rich could for some reason, end up making very poor financial decisions that'll really affect their finances in a very bad way. Rich or poor, huge bankroll or small, the risk of getting addicted to gambling is very real for everyone, regardless of their financial status. In one way, it may appear that the risks of gambling addiction might be worse for rich people because they have even more to risk and more to lose that the poor, and they can easily fall into depression if their gambling gets out of hand and they end up losing a great chunk of their wealth. |
