41  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 04, 2024, 11:21:21 AM
Gsmbling  is not what you can depend on to realise money to pay of debt, because at the this point the state of mind will be so desperate and you won't be able to reason way. At the point going into gambling,  you are trying to create more debt for your self because gambling is not what you need to depend on because it is unpredictable. Gamble is supposed to be played without having much expectation of making money quick from it.
It doesn't mean it's impossible to win in gambling or to pay off debt from gambling. However, if we are responsible enough, we know that we are taking a high risk that our chance of success is very low, at least based on the majorities experience. As experts said, majority of gamblers losses in the long run, so that reality alone is already against us, however, if we do  have the skills then we can certainly make it possible to succeed.

We know ourselves better, and we know if we have the skills to be profitable in gamblng, because if we only believe and relied on luck, then we should forget this stupid idea.
It's not impossible unless you are lucky. But the risk is too high, instead of having money to pay debts, if it is suddenly lost in gambling, it will be an additional problem for you to think about, That's a fact that anyone should think of. If the money you have is supposedly used to pay your debts, whatever happens, using it in gambling should not be done.

I also said that belief will never guarantee victory, but it can increase opportunities because with belief, every gambler will be able to use their abilities to the best of their ability.
In context like this, belief will play quite an important role for some of the gamblers out there, but still being able to keep yourself safe is not only about belief but also about several other factors.
No win can be guaranteed and every gambler ability is only to increase the odds.
I didn't understand what you meant when you said that a gambler can use their abilities at best. In reality, having beliefs doesn't physically or mentally enhance any abilities or change the outcome of the game. It only affects the gambler's mindset and can lead to positive or negative thinking during the game.
43  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: February 04, 2024, 10:37:06 AM
You mean a successful gambler can be identified as addicted and not, by any means, how can we identify if the successful gambler is addicted or not? Individuals who invest a significant amount of time and effort into developing their skills and knowledge in gambling should be identified as addicted gamblers. An addicted gambler is someone who consistently engages in gambling activities without any intention of stopping until they achieve their desired goal which is to be successful in gambling by winning.

Everyone has their own perspective on successful gamblers, I think it's not right if we say there is someone who is successful in gambling because after all there is absolutely no element of success in gambling, one of the reasons is because there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever to guarantee them success, and in my opinion what is more appropriate is that they are gamblers who have good responsibility in their gambling activity involvement in the sense that they can maintain their gambling involvement properly and not necessarily always succeed in winning because the possibility of risk can never be avoided.

By changing the word success to responsibility I think we can easily identify whether gamblers are addicted or not, and obviously if they are responsible gamblers like professionals then it means they are not addicted because they can control everything well in the sense of being able to control their gambling activities and not those who are controlled by gambling. I understand that you think gamblers who allocate a lot of time in gambling are always vulnerable to being called addicted gamblers, but I would say no if they are basically able to maintain and manage everything well especially in terms of their budget.
Being responsible doesn't make you successful in gambling. It only helps you to control yourself and reduce the risk of losing all your money. To be a successful gambler, you need to devise a strategy that results in more wins than losses, or simply accumulate a lot of winnings.

Not addicted but better to called them professional. Addicted gamblers can't be successful gamblers cause as they are addicted to gamble, so they can't help themselves placing bets whatever the match is! They always looking for gambling and money does matter for them and they lose most of the time. But successful gamblers are them who win bets most. As they are successful gamblers, that means they are successfully earning money from gambling, right? And so they keep visiting gambling website for opportunity and they won't place bet until they ensure about it by their confidence. I think here are the difference
Gambling isn't just about failure. Here as many have failed and many have succeeded. Gamblers who succeed in managing gambling through their skills and knowledge cannot be called addicts. However, for some gamblers, gambling behaviour indicates addiction. Sports bettors can be successful in gambling if they manage their gambling according to their skill and strategy which we cannot call addictive. The point here is that not all successful gamblers are addicted and not all addicted gamblers are successful. Some times gambling plays a psychological role.

45  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What remarkable thing have you achieved with the money you won from gambling? on: February 03, 2024, 09:31:57 AM
I have seen many too that won big money, but they lavished the money by going to the nightclubs and started living all sorts of luxury life because they didn't stress to get the money. If you are a gambler, you should think about or write down a reasonable or memorable thing you would do with the money in case luckily for you one day you won a huge amount of money in gambling, so you will ever remember where the money did come from.

Each time I win my bets, it will be used to sort out some basic needs. I am not in the class of gamblers who see gambling as free money that should be wasted on luxury or lavishness. We should know that the house always has the edge and each time we have a big win, let's utilize it effectively. I have not had a win that made me start a business but those wins have assisted me in saving money. I usually spend my wins on the basic needs of the family and this helps me to save part of my earnings which is channeled to my Investment. One of my biggest wins was during COVID-19 when I won big before a lockdown. I used the money to stock my house with food and it sustained my family throughout the lockdown period. However, more gamblers gamble off their wins than those who maximize it.
The same goes for me. Since I only gamble during my free time, usually, I add my winnings to my personal savings, and I tend to ignore my losses. I always prefer to start a new game without considering the amount I have lost in the previous one. When I win, you see it as an opportunity to save some extra cash.

It's interesting how many people hold onto superstitious beliefs when it comes to gambling. They convince themselves that if they perform certain actions or follow certain rituals, their chances of winning will increase. However, this is essentially just a form of manifestation. While it's true that positive thinking can have an impact on our lives, it's important to remember that luck is also a major factor in gambling. So, while it's okay to have a little fun with superstitions, we shouldn't rely on them to guarantee a win.
Yes, that is true, and there are still many people who believe in superstitious things. We also can't blame them or tell them to stop believing in superstitious things because they don't want to let go of those superstitious things. They believe that believing in these superstitious things can give them the opportunity to win the gambling game even though they don't know whether they can actually win or whether they will still lose. They play gambling where it will be difficult for them to win, so they should also know that believing in superstition will not increase their chances of winning. They will see that the reality will be the same and experience greater losses because believing in superstitious things like that will make them self-confident. They will not see that their chances of winning are almost non-existent and will not think about stopping their gambling game.
That is belief and of course belief like this can never be separated from the mindset of people out there because belief like this has been attached and embedded for long time.
But actually this belief is their personal matter and whatever it causes is also their own problem, it just shame if beliefs like this are linked to gambling and cause gamblers to make mistakes.
They believe in superstitions that can bring good luck and they become gamblers who bet much more often, this is clearly mistake that should be avoided because the impact that will occur can be very bad.
Even though superstitious beliefs cannot guarantee victory, if they really have more belief then they will never be able to let go or forget the suggestion of believing in such things.
I agree that having beliefs does not guarantee winning in gambling. Many people believe that having certain beliefs can help them win, but this is not necessarily true. Beliefs are only similar to manifestation, where people think and focus on positive outcomes and try to avoid negative ones. However, simply having beliefs does not guarantee success in gambling.
47  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: January 31, 2024, 05:02:14 PM
Gambling is never for fun only no matter where the money comes from.I know of many people who say they gamble for fun but deep down that is a lie which I also say to myself to continue gambling.If all people who said they are gambling for fun they would be using the play for fun feature and not with real money,so let's not lie to ourselves,we only play to win more money.

I agree with that, maybe it's just an alibi, because when they gamble it means that what they really want is a win that can be obtained because in my opinion that is a value that can make us happy, because it's impossible for them to lose but they are happy, that's really not makes sense, except with responsible gambling it makes sense. When they gamble, it means they want to win, winning is the most important thing on every gambler's mind.

If you think about it, there are many other things you can do to get pleasure, some of which don't require money and are not as risky as gambling, because gambling is something that carries a big risk if it is done improperly or excessively. However, if someone experiences problems with their finances and takes steps to gamble, it is wrong, because gambling does not guarantee that they can solve their financial problems.
It could either be an excuse or a genuine reason. Let me ask you this, when you gamble and win some bets, do you feel happy and enjoy the game? That's what most gamblers seek, the excitement of every win, even though they might end up losing. It's not an excuse, but rather the fact that casinos have an advantage, and it's not easy to win against them.
48  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 31, 2024, 04:42:54 PM
Yes, because the key factor in gambling is the individual's attitude towards it. Some individuals mistakenly believe that gambling increases their chances of winning, and as a result, they continue to gamble even when they are losing more money than they anticipated. It is important to understand that this approach only leads to further financial losses and negative consequences.
This is something that often happens when many gamblers still believe that gambling can increase their chances of winning. They even believe in superstitious things around them, so they gamble every day. If they have decided like that, they must be prepared to face the risk of losing, and it will not be easy to recover from that loss even if they use more money. A person's attitude towards gambling is very determining because if he can act to limit his gambling activities, he will not experience the problems that many gamblers have experienced. They must be able to prevent financial losses as a result of gambling every day, and it can also affect their emotions and mentality, where they can think about gambling all the time.

49  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: January 31, 2024, 04:23:30 PM
That's probably one of the worst bad habits.  For one you can't likely perform well at work while being distracted with gambling.  You need to be able to separate these activities because that's what leads to addiction amd the bad side of gambling.  Separation is key to either success or enjoyment from gambling.

Yup, and it is prohibited and this has been discussed in every new hire orientation on the first day of work. I'm not sure if this applies to other company but in our company, Gambling activity is strictly prohibited . That's true that if you combine doing gambling during working hours, it will affects your time, quality and performances most especially if you're the type of person who can't fo multitasking. As I read other comments above, other people suggested to do multitasking, particularly to those person who luckily has work from home set up, as long as your performance didn't affect by doing other activities such as gambling.
Even in that kind of setup, doing any other activities should not be applied, especially gambling. Gambling is not an activity for you to do multitasking. It requires your focus and probably a few hours to finish gambling. All those hours spent gambling will be wasted instead of doing your tasks on your job.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: January 30, 2024, 11:37:35 AM
I know some people who gamble while they are at work online; others manage to do well at the same time as their work, but others don't because I just found out that they no longer have a job, and when I asked the reason, they said they were late. He is his superior who plays gambling online during his work hours.

In that regard, I told my friend that he is also guilty and had a reason. I hope that will be a lesson for him because he also said that he should only play online casinos at home. Gambling should be placed in the right place and not be affected by gambling, especially if it helps financially.
I don't think that it is possible for someone to perform well at their job while also gambling. This is because their productivity will inevitably suffer, as their focus and time will be split between work and gambling. Additionally, gambling can have negative effects on one's emotions, which can further impact their ability to concentrate on work tasks.

Indeed, the problem is with each person who responds wrongly to gambling, not with the gambling. because gambling companies also don't require them to gamble frequently, even though some people think that the more often they gamble, the closer they are to winning, in my opinion that's just the thing that will make their lives go bankrupt more quickly. It's impossible for there to be a term like that, it's just encouragement for addicts who want to get big wins at gambling where big wins are very difficult to get. Moreover, many people wrongly respond or interpret that gambling is actually just paid entertainment, not a way to make money or a way to double your money  because that's not true.

Every parent will certainly give their children an understanding that gambling is not a good thing to do because if they are addicted to gambling, of course they will make many other mistakes because they cannot have an income and it will be very difficult to stop if they are addicted.
If children who are still in school are gambling and their parents do not tell their children about the dangers of gambling then this will be very bad because when they are still in school when they gamble, of course they don't have money because they haven't worked and their learning process at school is also disrupted. because they will be busy gambling and never think about their learning activities at school.
This is why it is better to have the boy stop gambling because he is not at the right age. Parents need to have a conversation with their children about the consequences of gambling before any unexpected actions are taken. Gambling can have many negative effects, some of which may be unknown to children. If children continue to gamble at a young age, it is uncertain what actions they may take in the future. Therefore, children should focus on their studies rather than gambling.
considering that his son is still eighteen years old, I think the gambling he took was online gambling. It's actually easy to stop gambling activities, just take the gadget that he uses for gambling activities. or we just confiscate it with a time limit until he forgets his gambling activities. Apart from providing a deterrent effect, he will also not be addicted to gambling.
It's not effective to simply take away a boy's gadget to stop them from gambling. If the boy wants to gamble, he will definitely find a way to continue even without his mobile device. Confiscating all of a child's possessions is not a solution either, as it may only lead to rebellion. Instead, it's important to have a meaningful conversation and discuss the dangers of gambling with the child to help them understand its consequences.
53  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gamblers do retired betting gambles on: January 29, 2024, 10:19:24 PM
One day I saw an old man of seventy [70] years old in gambling center were we bet for soccer predictions gambling bet, and I interviewed the old man that his age that why is it gambling up this age, and many people who don't know me was like wondering why I interviewed the man and some said why I mine questioning the man that gambling is a game of personal interest.so what I to ask a gambler is that what age should someone who is a gambler supposed to reach before the person retire in gambling or is it advisable for someone to continue to gamble until death separate us with gambling.

As a gambler what do you think that should be the right time we suppose to leave gambling weather we are making profits or we are not making profits with gambling, because I know quite well that gambling whenever you are making profits you will wish to continue gambling unless that you run out of cash.
It depends on the individual gambler. As we age, we tend to have fewer activities in our daily lives. Older people may look for ways to stay active, engage their minds, and find something that interests them to fill their leisure time. Gambling can be one of these activities. Gambling for them is not about making money, but an activity to spend their time.

55  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: January 29, 2024, 09:44:36 PM
actually the terms and conditions of each casino are almost the same. only certain parts I modified. so instead of reading all the TOS, it would be better to read more carefully what is different from other casinos.
And if you are recommended by your friend about the casino, you can directly ask your friend what are the important points that must be observed and fulfilled in the casino.
No, it's still important to note that the terms and conditions of one casino may differ from those of others. Even if you've read the TOS of other online casinos, it's crucial to read the TOS of the casino you're interested in. Additionally, if a friend recommends a specific casino, it's important to remember that they may not know everything about it. It's always our responsibility to ensure our safety by checking all necessary information.

I don't think a lot of people will read them unless there is some specific need to find something out. Most of the terms and conditions are clear, aren't they? Like not opening two accounts, wagering requirements after a deposit could be important to check out and I would never rely on some "no-KYC-policy" as I would usually consider that data can be requested anyway. But most of the things that the average gambler is confronted with should be clear.

Do you know a good example where some of the only casinos differ on and you think is worth looking into before getting started?
I understand what you mean. Rather than reading every word in the Terms of Service, it's better to search for the specific information you are looking for. Experienced gamblers who frequently try out different casino websites have their own set of criteria that they use to evaluate new online casino providers.
56  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 26, 2024, 05:13:46 AM
Sometimes I wonder what gives gamblers the audacity to go about borrowing and obtaining loans from loan sharks and banks just to gamble and I also wonder if truly their senses are with them when they gamble because I see no reasons why someone would gamble and losses everything on them and in some cases, they even sell their items such as phone jewelry if they have any on them just to gamble there after losing. What stops them from getting up and taking a walk out of the casino or gambling house for that moment  for a short while so as not to give room for borrowing. I am still thinking about it to know the exact reason and why most gamblers still continue to gamble after still recording huge loses.
That is why addictions are scary, under normal circumstances a person will never engage in a behavior that goes so obviously against their self-interests, but people can get their priorities so distorted by their addiction that they will do everything just to engage once more in it, and this is how we end up seeing people throwing their lives away over something that is just a game, and that should be just another one of the many hobbies we should have.
It is really important to realize the impact of addictive behavior, especially when it relates to gambling. Many individuals participate in imprudent activities that can result in serious consequences and destroy their lives. To avoid this kind of situation, it is crucial to be mindful of the harmful effects of gambling and abstain from it.

58  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another question? Tell me your average amount per bet and your monthly income? on: January 26, 2024, 04:36:48 AM
My monthly income is a personal matter that I would prefer not to share. When it comes to gambling, I tend to indulge once or twice a week, which is around eight times a month. My budget for each gambling is at least $10 to $20, depending on my available funds. This amount is enough to satisfy my gambling needs.

I think he refers to monthly income you may allocate for betting but maybe also to the salary,so if he refers to the salary I agree with you that it cannot be asked as it is personal for everyone while if he asks for the amount allocated for gambling monthly we can say that and also the amount of a single bet.Personally I play like 100-200 dollars a month with bets as low as 1 dollar up to many dollars per bet depending on the type of odds and games.
I believe I understood his question accurately. He specifically asked for two separate information. Our monthly income and the average amount we use in betting. While I am unable to disclose my monthly income, I have provided my average bet amount above for reference.

I would like to know your average bet amount and your monthly income.
59  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: January 25, 2024, 11:14:01 AM
We should not blame anyone for the loss that occurs during bets since it's something decided by an individual, not by another one who forces them to keep gambling and lose money that is actually needed for something else. If someone is forcing you to bet even against your will then its a crime and you won't actually blame them because you were compelled to obey the person for some reason.

If someone is forcing you to bet, then it's really valid to blame them but it's really up to you if you will follow them, right? but if we are talking about the person who introduced you to gambling, you don't have to blame them if you have any bad experience because they didn't force you to do that thing. Becoming addicted to gambling is your own decision so you only have yourself to blame for it.

Yes, I also believe that you have the right to blame your friend who forced you to gamble, but that cannot be the reason why you ended up in that situation. It's still your fault that you ended up in that situation, not your friend's, you have your own mind. We know that we have bad influence friends even I have them but I still know right and wrong so they don't lead me to their nonsense. Even if your friend introduced you to gambling, even if your friend forced you to gamble, you still have a choice and that's up to you. Because I believe that no matter how stupid your friend is, as long as you know right from wrong, you won't have any problems.
Your statement contradicts itself. Initially, you mentioned that you think it's acceptable to hold your friend responsible for forcing you to bet, but then, you stated that it's still your own self is the one accountable for everything happen to yourself if ever you lose in gambling.

Even if someone pressures you to place a bet, if you don't agree with the decision, you won't end up in that situation. If you do agree, it means you let that person control your decision-making and ultimately gave in to their pressure. In this situation, you shouldn't blame your friend but rather take responsibility for your actions.
