I would say that actually in gambling no matter if you are emotional or not losing will always be a definite result or a result that all gamblers will experience at the end of the session when they are away from luck, because after all gambling will always be about two possibilities at the end of the session that is between winning or losing regardless of whether you are emotional or not, meaning that emotion is not something that makes you lose, because I once managed to get a big win when I gambled based on emotion but it was an accidental result which at the same time luck came when I played on one of the slot games with a big multiplier.

This means that I will explain that emotions are something that usually tend to lead a person to more losses, because in any case when your actions are based on emotions then usually the results tend to be worse, but if we talk about gambling then any result can happen especially when luck comes at the right time. However, it is clear that I would agree with the idea that emotions can make one experience a significant amount of losses, and this is why it is always recommended to stop or take a break when one is already feeling emotional from losing (although it is not easy).

I'm going to say something that I think it's a fact that all gamblers come with the intention and goal of making a win, but we have to understand that there are differences in terms of the way of thinking and the approach they have which is that there are some gamblers who are too pushy about winning which is those who always do various excessive actions just to pursue victory like gambling addicts, and there are also some gamblers who do not push too hard for victory in the sense that they will take the victory if they are lucky, but if the results at the end of the session do not match their expectations then they usually do not force the situation, which they prefer to stop and accept the fact that at that time they were unlucky so they lost and they prefer to continue their gambling session at another time. This means that responsible gamblers who have the right understanding will not care about whatever the outcome is at the end of the session, simply win or lose they will still be able to quit. So the bottom line is don't put excessive expectations on winning in gambling because after all it is nothing more than a "possibility".

Right, and I think it's an unreasonable decision to continue to play or play more when you know that your gambling expenditure exceeds your income from monthly salary, meaning that it must be a scenario where they are gambling with other funds, or most likely funds that they have borrowed, and it is also clear that this is a very wrong mindset and approach to gambling, there is no limit at all in terms of the budget allocated and instead it expands the waste by borrowing money from other parties just to use gambling.

This can only be done if you are someone who has more money to gamble than you can afford to lose, but if the scenario is that the budget expenditure on gambling exceeds the monthly income then obviously when someone continues gambling then they are using other funds which are predicted to be borrowed funds.

Do you mean betting on something that is contrary to your analysis and then you win? If yes then I wouldn't say that it's wrong, or I mean I don't think there's anything wrong with doing that. Just remember that analysis or strategy is just something to increase your chances of winning and not to ensure or guarantee that you will actually win at the end of the session.

This means that any result can still happen even if for example you bet by applying the analysis or strategy that you believe in, and that is natural because after all we are talking about gambling which is an activity that can never be predicted with 100% accuracy, and from the story you experienced you managed to win by betting the opposite of the analysis you had and the result won, meaning you are really lucky, and also means that luck is the most important point in gambling. On the other hand, I have also experienced almost the same scenario where I did not expect to win at all or when I bet in a perfunctory way but the result won, and I think this is normal because after all this is like gambling.

I think it is clear that it all depends on how one treats his gambling activities, and also to be able to enjoy stress-free games there is nothing else to do but to gamble with the amount of budget they can afford to lose, that is the main key and the second is to understand that gambling is a game that has two possibilities between winning or losing at the end of the session, and as you said that the gambler will not complain about his losses if he understands the main point in gambling which is about winning and losing.

When a gambler understands that gambling is nothing more than a game of "chance", then I think it is less likely for them to be irresponsible in their gambling activities, because they know that somehow losing will always be a possible outcome that will definitely occur outside of winning opportunities or when they are unlucky, and therefore this is the reason why we are always advised to only risk small amounts when gambling, not only to keep you stress-free or to keep you from feeling disappointed and upset when the results do not match expectations.

Yes and what I find strange is why gamblers can think of making large amounts of money with little effort, if we have absolutely no skills or expertise that is rarely possessed by others then yes maybe they can make a lot of money with little work like some jobs such as editors, programmers or other types of services that do not require you to sweat a lot to do it, but if we are talking about gambling which everyone can also do if they have money to bet then I think it is really absurd to think that you will be able to make a lot of money just by gambling. And also this is the importance of having a rational mindset and a realistic point of view in dealing with everything, and on the other hand there is no way that casinos give out big money or big winnings for free if there is not something they are planning, as you said and maybe I will add that what makes sense is that casinos take advantage of people's ignorance by using the phrase "double the odds".

This means that no one can change our fate but ourselves, because other people will never care about whatever we experience, so maybe we always hear about advice or motivation that tells us to always struggle or work hard and never give up in doing everything we want to realize. On the other hand, yes not everyone has the opportunity but I think the opportunity will always come if we want to try or step up which means we are the ones who create the opportunity.

On the other hand, it is really difficult to advise people who have a lazy soul, usually they tend to complain more than stepping up to fix or just to identify problems, and from what the OP experienced I am sure that he was in a place that was not right for him or maybe for some other people who were there, and yes it means as you said that it seems like he should look for another place to change everything for the better by getting full access and maybe we often hear the saying "pursue knowledge to the land of China".

Of course, gambling is not an activity that should be prioritized because it is nothing more than a normal game that always runs full of uncertainty, meaning as you said that a gambler must understand about what should be prioritized in his life and obviously the answer is the various other more important things that you have in life such as household affairs, dividing most of the money to fulfill whatever is needed in life rather than just gambling, or other important things.

But yes as we know that there are some gamblers who always prioritize something that should not be prioritized, I don't know the reason but certainly most likely they are already very obsessed with gambling which is probably because they have excessive expectations of winning so they always act excessively and do various things that make no sense, and I have one friend who allocates more than 80% of his salary just to gamble while he struggles to make ends meet, and this problem will continue to occur if it is not stopped.

Yups right I agree with your suggestion, because after all it is really very difficult to identify what is going on when someone says it in an abstract and difficult to understand way, but from the story in question it sounds like he is in a place that does not want him to live, or there is no food that can be eaten to stay alive which is simply a very desperate situation, but on the other hand I am not too sure that there is a country that really makes its people always difficult by not giving access at all to be able to progress or develop better for the lives of its own people. Basically everyone has the right to develop as long as they do it in a reasonable way, or in a way that does not violate the rules of the country.

Yes maybe saving can also be useful to be used as an emergency fund to overcome problems that occur unexpectedly but on the other hand I can't choose or can't say about which one is more important between saving and investing, because of course both are quite important and recommended to do if you feel financially capable of doing so. But on the other hand, I think I would agree with what you said that saving money can make us lose the value of money because of inflation that can occur at any time and I think it is because of this that people prefer to allocate their money to investment, and yes for the problem of what type of investment they will choose basically for this problem really depends on their respective beliefs or beliefs, which usually maybe more of them see in terms of significant profits and for myself so far I am still maintaining my investment in Bitcoin while waiting for the halving phase in the next four years.

Every gambler has their own strategy in gambling which helps them to increase the chances of winning, but it is not a problem to try some new strategies if you have them as long as you use a small amount of money in the gambling stage, but I would remind you or anyone here that in gambling do not get too hung up or believe too much in strategies because after all a strategy is nothing more than something that only increases the chances but does not mean that it can guarantee that you will be able to win at the end of the session.

I do not prohibit anyone from gambling using strategies but believe that the main point in gambling is luck which means that only luck can lead you to victory, or it can also be said that if luck does not come then no matter how good the strategy is then there is little chance for you to win. So it's better to keep a balanced approach to gambling where simply put strategy is a great way to increase the chances of winning (if you bet on sports betting) but we also have to recognize that luck will always be the most important aspect of gambling, and with this understanding it will at least be able to minimize the possibility of regret when you lose because you will think that you lost because you were unlucky.

It is actually okay to be involved in trading until retirement or until you are old, and what is not okay is to make trading your main job as I said above, because trading is a choice and everyone has the right to choose about how long they will be involved in trading as a trader, and I don't think I have to explain again about why I forbid anyone to make trading their main income in life because I said it above.

But let's remember that trading is a risky activity that can make anyone lose a certain amount of money especially when the predictions do not match the ongoing market conditions or when the market is very volatile. On the other hand yes it is true as you said that trading can be used as a financial strategy, but however as I said earlier that trading is only recommended to be used as an additional income and not the main income regardless of whether you want to be involved in trading until you are old or not.

I think it is quite simple that the first thing that must be known and must always be remembered by novice traders is that trading is an activity that has risks, sometimes the risks can be quite significant when you take some dangerous actions that are usually done unconsciously by some traders such as when they experience emotions due to losses. Second is to become a trader you really need to have seriousness in terms of learning, or that means you really have to be someone who has strong discipline and consistency in terms of learning and never giving up.

The last thing in my opinion is that a beginner must really understand that trading is not an intermediary to get rich instantly, however and wherever still everything must be done by first undergoing the process no matter how difficult it is, because I see most novice traders who ultimately fail are those who have the wrong mindset and perspective on this trading, they think that trading is a quick way to get rich, and I am sure that this mindset is formed because they see some people who have managed to succeed by successfully changing their lives for the better such as having freedom in finance after becoming a trader, and the biggest mistake of beginners is that they only see things from the results but do not think about what difficulties and what has been experienced and sacrificed by the successful person to finally become a successful trader, meaning try to see things rationally and also by using common sense before you finally jump in, the goal is to measure yourself whether you are ready or not with all the difficulties and do not let you get involved just to waste money.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with borrowing money because after all, the purpose of a loan is to make things easier for other people or to help solve problems quickly, and maybe I would also give someone a loan if they look so convincing by giving something as collateral if they are unable to pay.

I wouldn't say that this is a problem, but I definitely agree with the idea that borrowing money to gamble is a bad idea, and I'm actually someone who doesn't really care about other people, But when it comes to gambling, which I've experienced a pretty significant downturn as a result of treating gambling the wrong way, then maybe I would say and give advice that even if you have the ability to pay the debt, try to think rationally and consider the various bad possibilities that might occur, one of which might be that this could trigger a debt problem when someone does it uncontrollably, especially for those impulsive gamblers.

However and overall it is always forbidden to gamble while consuming something that has the potential to intoxicate or remove consciousness, such as drinking the alcohol you mentioned or other things like drugs, and I think the reason is clear that gambling is an activity that requires all gamblers to make a decision about how much they want to bet, or about how much risk they are ready to take, and all of these actions really have to be done with full awareness to do a consideration to make a decision.

And as we know how the effects of alcohol or drugs that clearly have great potential to make someone drunk that causes them to lose consciousness, and maybe I would say that gambling while consuming alcohol or drugs the impact is the same as when you gamble based on emotions where it is clear that decision making will not be based on common sense and rational thinking which in the end yes as you say that most likely a gambler will only waste more money without them realizing and regretting when they are sober.

Exactly, that indeed as you said that one of the reasons why people lose large amounts of money is because they always try to chase losses in order to recover which is actually a very bad idea that will only make them lose more significant amounts of money which means that chasing losses is an idea that will not bring recovery but instead will deepen the amount of loss.

And this is the reason why quite a number of people have said and advised that you should never chase losses in gambling because there is no way you can reach the recovery phase in the same place where you previously lost and this makes sense right? Obviously, therefore it is always recommended to only bet the amount that we can afford to lose, the benefit is that we do not get emotional and do not think of chasing something that has already been lost because after all it is quite impossible to materialize and in most cases the idea actually makes gamblers experience much greater losses.

Yups, it's actually not a problem at all to hide gambling because after all everyone has freedom of choice and maybe one of the reasons why they hide their gambling activities is because they don't want to get criticized by various parties especially the people around them, especially if they are in an environment that really prohibits gambling activities then obviously the idea of hiding gambling is the best in my opinion regardless of whether you are a responsible gambler or not.

Most of the time gambling has a negative viewpoint in the eyes of society because in my opinion there are more countries that prohibit gambling than those that legalize it and all of that is because of the bad effects of gambling, although basically someone can be responsible but in some cases it is always difficult to be a responsible gambler.

If we talk about the times then yes, now the digital world has experienced a very significant development, which as you said that yes, the benefits are quite a lot, starting from making it easier for us to shop for something without having to go to the market, or other things such as paying a bill where we can make payments using only a smart phone without having to go to the service office. Similarly, when we talk about gambling, it is clear that most gamblers are those who are involved in the type of online casino because however we cannot close our eyes that with the existence of online casinos it is very easy for us to bet whenever and wherever as long as we have money to bet using a smart phone or laptop intermediary connected to the internet network.

Yes, everything I said above is the convenience of doing things because of the technology that has developed, but if we talk about the negative side, it is clear that with this convenience, especially in accessing gambling, of course this situation also causes more people to experience big problems in their lives as experienced by those irresponsible gamblers or who treat gambling in an unreasonable way, or this ease of gambling makes gamblers even more excessive because there is no time limit unlike when you gamble in a physical casino, and also on the other hand with this convenience, children who are still underage have a high probability of falling into gambling because most children now prefer to play cellphones after school rather than playing with their friends.

Exactly, because a person's personality depends on how their environment is as a child, on the other hand I understand that both parents must want the best for their children where of course they direct a child to positive things but it is a fact that sometimes a child grows up with various influences that are sometimes negative if the parents cannot take care and direct them to positive things well. On the other hand, I do not agree if a child is given education about the dangers of gambling since they are still young because what is feared is that there is still a possibility for them to feel curious about how gambling actually is and maybe they try to access gambling unknowingly, which as we know that a child who is still underage has a high curiosity in him.

So in my opinion there is nothing better than not exposing them to gambling, and it is better to keep or monitor them along with avoiding various things that can make them reach gambling, such as excessive use of social media that allows them to see promotions carried out by some of the big casinos that we often see on the internet lately.

In this case in the end yes we agree that no matter what the name of gambling is and whatever type of game you play, luck will always be the most important point that all gamblers must have if they want to win, but yes in the end it is a fact that the name of luck can never be controlled which means that all gamblers can wait for luck to come by itself which can lead them to a real victory.

Sometimes what is worrying is that those gamblers are too confident and make strategy a reference material to win the bet, or that means they think that only with a good strategy will they be able to win, but on the other hand it is a very wrong mindset and belief, because after all gambling will always be an activity that can never be known about the results that will occur at the end of the session. And the best approach to gambling is to understand that gambling is a risky activity and also understand that no matter how good a strategy you have it is nothing more than something useful to increase the odds, because only luck can ensure that you will win.
