A newbie who participates daily in gambling needs close to him an expert for guidance. Wagering every day for a newbie is risky, but advisable to acquaint him with the rules. Without the help of another gambler, a newbie may not be aware of self-control while gambling. He could get attached to the game so tight that he may not pull out. Despite the early stages of gambling, as a newbie. Holding to an experienced player to unveil strategies to the newbie, works faster in protecting the naive player from compulsive behavior.

In this compulsive gambling stage, the player will never get tired of gambling. Notwithstanding how long he's been a gambler. The game is enjoyable even when responsible. Don't think a newbie will easily abandon gambling if he's not losing all the time. Placing all the necessary skills, self-concept, and determination as the priority shields a player from addiction. But it's difficult for a newbie to utilize those skills on his knowledge.

Gamblers, more than a few, may be willing to learn, but have no material to read or aren't aware there is something to learn about gambling. A lot of players in traditional settings don't care about reading up on gambling limitations. Yet some of them don't get addicted. And many gamblers who are aware of this information, go ahead to get addicted. Is this information on strategies worthless? one would ask. Why are gambling scholars also getting addicted? this question puts things straight and reasonable to say, reading lots of this guide with no genuine practice, a gambler is as good as not reading them in the first instance.

On the second flip, nobody is sure about what the casino feels about addicts. But, if the phrase " gamble responsibly" is a clue to responsible gambling. Then the casino is not interested in having addicts participating in their casino. Some casinos ban addicts and report them if found using another casino. Hence, it's unrealistic to think of all casinos glad for gambling addiction, due to the money it generates them.

I hardly succumb to coincidence, and what Op's friend thinks happened is far beyond his understanding. Luck is a personal experience, people who don't gamble or suggest ideas with us while gambling, may not influence our luck. I think the player out of joy, accepts that Op contributed to his winning a huge amount. However, in terms of knowledge influencing luck, as you said. Do you think the endless hours players spend analyzing games helps in adjusting their luck?

Some players who before gambling don't digest the previous games, still make correct predictions. It's luck with no knowledge. Pure luck, in this context. Meaning that, if a player is not experienced in gambling, he could win. The things we do to win money don't exist. Except winning in other contexts like critical thinking and money management. Possessing such skills sounds like a win to me, because it could be implemented outside gambling. Giving the player a better reason to gamble, to learn more. Those strategies work in developing personal discipline, not making money.

Gambling with borrowed money is not a better option than staying without a gambling when with no funds. Excessively engaging in gambling, puts players in this shoe. They're directly and unknowingly doubling their problem gambling. Paying the lender will be a fresh thought in the gambler's mind. The money may not be won before the time elapse for paying back the loan. Dying minutes as this pushes players to make cussed decisions like taking a loan to repay another loan. Moving from one lender to another, seeking for refuge in settling already existing debts, is unacceptable.

Being contented with what we've got is an important gambling strategy, that reduces such annoying decisions. Enough to get the player's family into trouble, and devastation. On this ground, it's best to stop going further with the loans, and stay contented with the no-gambling decision. When there are no extra funds left for gambling. Nothing to gain in gambling with loans. Even if the money gets doubled, paying back can be a delayed, till the money is exhausted again.

Sure, nobody is certain of their fate, or what it looks like. But gambling doesn't control either the player's fate. In as much as a player is not in a complete state of mind when he's losing his money, he's bound to make mistakes. Both results, win or lose, also help in confusing a player's decision. Especially his initial plans. While in the game, there are misconceptions and internal disagreements in the player's mind. Options create arguments. The player's thoughts are compelled to go against each other's suggestions. It's not a one-mind thing. Many other life activities with options do this to us.

However, gambling consistently causes this to occur in the human brain. More like emotionally battling oneself. The system wasn't designed to steal from anybody. You could be saying in the form of con. Yet it's inadmissible. Casinos provide lots of benefits to a player for his money. I understand a diverse perspective about the game leads to arguments between gamblers, on what's right or wrong. If you read carefully my response, you'd realize the self-argument a player face also could be extended to an interpersonal disagreement between gamblers, just like everyone argues on what seems right to them. Nobody is right or wrong in contexts like this, same way it's wrong to oust fun as no valid factor in gambling.

Why gamblers easily forget that gambling is for fun, should be researched. Players who had in mind before gambling that it's going to be fun, go home, or end their session sad. The intended reason for fun causes the misunderstanding. Winning defines happiness to most players. Hence, when the win is not being achieved as expected, the player would feel sad. Therefore, the intention behind gambling for fun is most important.

Everyone claims they gamble for fun yet forget about what makes them happy. It's just a self-claim without backup. If a player's intention is for fun, win or lose. He's doing it for fun, and doesn't care about what he gets in return. The behavior is better than those who conceal winning as the aim of saying they gamble for fun. In a short time during the game, the player will forget he's meant to be enjoying the game because the losses are much more than he ever imagined.

Gambling doesn't make drawing the line simple for gamblers to do. The whole trouble kicks out when the game begins. At the start of the game, what a player intends to do gets confusing to him. Hence, when gambling, it's best to limit the game to be stopped at a given time. Playing in that manner will grant a player the discipline to stop whenever his time is over. It's wrong to draw the line when our money is all gone. Losing out all to the house leaves the player in the past thought. He'd never feel comfortable within him about how he wagered all his money to the casino.

Shows how irresponsible to be reminded to stop gambling when no other fund is left in the bankroll. A player should gamble and stop when he is designated to. Anything other than, that seems like not a thing, especially dangling between a win or lose as a factor to when to stop gambling. If a player is not disciplined enough, he'd find it hard to stop when he's losing or even winning. Putting a specific duration in place is a better means of perfectly and consistently drawing the line. 

I think in this thread the Op is focusing on the casino, other than gambling generally. Two people can decide to bet money on a football match, within themselves, to win or lose depending on their agreement. Hence, that has nothing to do with the house edge. The winner only goes home with extra money. Casinos have better winning advantages over the player, because of the facilities they provide for gamblers. In the casino, people receive free drinks, hotel rooms, fun, etc. These factors are not organized easily with a small amount of money. Casinos spend money building the business, so players who wager there, are expected to see the unexpected, depending on the casino's house edge. A casino with a good housing edge offers the player a 3-5% chance of taking profits, per money they wager. The house takes up 95% and above. The whole profit goes back to the house, while the entire entertainment goes to the player.

The good results shouldn't point at monetary pursuit, stable and balanced mental health is a better result, also. Other than that, gamblers who are not addicted, still lose lots of money, in smaller quantities or something they wouldn't get bothered losing. However, in gambling the players must focus more on profiting mentally than financially. Obtaining stable mental health as a gambler requires an energetic brain power, capable of sustaining the weary gambling journey players face per session.

Wagering and losing money, shaken self-control of a player, due to the stress he undergoes thinking of working methods in reviving lost money. Doubling the money mentality is part of the monetary interest that could weaken the emotional strength of a gambler to get negatively get affected. Transferring the win and withdrawing money thoughts to something else like sustaining strong self-control and money management. Guarantees a better gambling experience. The profits, all go back to the house. No essence, hoping to immediately double the money.

OfCourse gambling is free for anybody above 18 years to participate, provided they have a free time and money. Wondering why people privatize their gambling attitude, is unclear to me, because players can decide to do things alone. The invention of online casinos helped such kind of privacy to thrive in usage. However, in the context of what Op has made to be known as hiding to gamble, slaps different thoughts to my reasoning and perspective.

When two or more people participate in a game, the privacy doesn't seem secure anymore. I thinking hiding has to do with a person or two. Those players may have made that place a gambling spot. Where they all come together to gamble. And not everyone would be comfortable to gamble in public. Although card games look normal when well-coordinated, people still find a way to see it as gambling. Hence, the players would prefer gambling in a more serene environment. Other than saying they're hiding; I'd say that the spot is a place they meet. I mean no strange movement was noticed when Op arrived the vicinity.

A gambler's state of mind works as every other person's "extremely happy" state of mind. People make unrealistic promises that can't be kept, thanks to extreme happiness. Win and loss, in gambling, are individually received differently. And the human reaction to it, also differs, as it's received. These two competing gambling words, in usage, win or lose, consist of diverse meanings in the gambling niche. But in the monetary aspect "loss" outpace "win", in usage. Gambling results consist of more losses than winning.  Emotionally, "loss" also appears more times than "win." Gambling is broad, and players implement strange ideas in the game. This has brought out gambling to be, in the eyes of the people, not worthwhile. Due to the ever-increasing number of gamblers who fail to do the right thing.

Fine, everyone wouldn't follow the same techniques and ideas. But ideas that are adopted by the vast numbers of gamblers, in compulsive settings, seem to be familiar with one another. Should I attribute that to the mental defeat gambling puts on players or blame it on the players for not following the right route? Before I do that, I think more people have never heard of responsible strategies, compared to those who have garnered intuitive information about responsible gambling. What then happens to those ignorant of this information, if not failure? Not everyone knows they've lost their self-control and need to quickly reinstate it. The behavior continues and gets worse along the line. Infact, the confusing broad nature of gambling diddles both new and old gamblers alike towards compulsive behaviors. Consistently carrying out brilliant and strategical moves is required to level the playground between gamblers and the house.

Gambling as a hobby has a pinch of risk when done the right way. Increasingly, gamblers don't understand what hobby has with gambling. Was it supposed to be tagged a hobby? Why would a person laugh over losing money? there are lots of similar thoughts appearing in my mind if gambling is addressed as a hobby. In this context, my response, gambling as a hobby is often recited as wagering and feeling as though we were in a fun place. After spending money in a mall or anywhere else, does it seem like a hobby to us?

I mean something we buy so frequently that we continually maintain the purchase for a long time. We wouldn't feel addicted to purchasing that, but at some point, there'll be some misconception about people who are dear and near to us regarding the person's aggressive purchase of a product. Nobody is sure who is right or wrong. The player or buyer would think he's doing the right thing but his acquittance keep opposing his answers.

So, when what is considered, a hobby is consistently practiced and ignites the attention of dear friends, it doesn't sound to me like a victory lap. There is a misconception somewhere about why he can't stay a day off gambling. A hobby can be practiced every day, with nobody seeing it as a problem. But, when it's related to gambling every day as a hobby, it sounds weird to listeners. Those arguments could make a responsible player begin to think he's a bit addicted, out of what his friends say to him. In a nutshell, openly disclosing gambling as a hobby to strangers, can change the way those people perceive us, especially when they see us doing it every day.

Whatever gambling does to the brain, is generalized to happen to any player with one. Hence, professionals can get addicted if the player is deeply attached to compulsive gambling. Professionals have some skills regarding self-control, money management, and emotional intelligence obtained out of consistent participation in gambling activities. Yet the brain controls the daily actions a player puts in his everyday gambling hours. The energy a player exhausts while gambling is enough to affect his brain power and capabilities to control his emotions. This reactional influence that gambling injects into the brain, could happen to anybody who gambles. Perfection is not guaranteed.

Things could change over time, and a responsible player, frankly, could get compulsive. Depending on his recent behaviors on gambling. Psychotherapists think that anyone could get addicted to gambling if they don't draw the line on where their gambling activity gets bridged. Limitations and self-control are two strong factors used to define professionals in the industry. Hence it's worthwhile for gamblers to possess relevant skills that protect or reduce gambling addiction. The influential emotional control gambling has on players can work or disturb an expert as well as a newbie.

Funny how we didn't grow up seeing adults having sex openly, but there has been a high rate of sexual activities recently. The web introduces all forms of content that could arouse a person's interest to try out something. There exists lots of expensively made attractive ads online, to attract the interest of young people. Same way sexual contents are made available to increase young people's interest in sex. Which increased the high rate of sexual activities. With the high increase of gambling-related content online; streamers making up some crazy dramatic results. Young or growing people will develop a strong interest in gambling.

Gambling sounds like a decent means of money-making for most naive young people. Their interest in gadgets like gaming consoles for instance will make a youth, go through all choices to achieve the jackpot in gambling. They imagine those fantasies, living their best life, which drives them to make mistakes. Those are factors that deceives some age groups, in the human race. Recently young people engaged more in gambling compared to the aged people. Due to the massive adoption of the online gambling niche. It solved lots of trouble for young people, they can easily gamble privately. With no other body being aware of the habit. Compared to the days of offline gambling, where everyone around the vicinity will know a specific person as a gambler.

Online gambling created privacy, that's great. But opened a big loophole on the entire age regulatory mandate to watch over young people who could be participating in the game. The age restriction is for their good. But they don't care provided money can be made out of the activity. So, gambling revolves around young people, whether we gamble facially or hiddenly in their presence. It's respect, and I commend it, our kids also deserve some respect. There should be some activities which we wouldn't do in their presence. This will help make an easy validation process in the child's brain concerning his gambling decision. He could decide to gamble or not, but seeing his dad will tick his 'I will do it' gambling decisions. In all, against all odds, the child's decision matters.

I think gambling or gaming generally does the opposite for the players. The more a player wagers the more he'd get gravitated to the game. It's not like food or other activities that get weary over time. Gambling wouldn't do any such thing, the player only wants to participate more. The interest is so tied to the player's emotions that he's unlikely going to get tired of doing it over time. Look at instances like drugs, sex, or even alcohol. These substances despite being different makes, still don't get dumped easily by humans. Due to the emotions and mental influence, it has on the players or addicts, neglecting the activity wouldn't be a simple task.

Why people easily forgo eating a specific food, is because of the reaction it'll have on the body. But when a person is forced to eat a single food, he doesn't have any option. Hunger generally has no option. The person will keep on eating the same food over time. Don't you think of people who wouldn't eat any food if it's not from their desired restaurant? That's how addiction makes an addict not think of any other thing except gambling. It's like being forced to do something with no option available. Sometimes when addicts are given a new chance, they'll be engaged to another option, that could help reduce their gambling session. It's all about the option, what to select. Addicts have no option. So, they'll continue the game, and never get tired of doing it, unless directed towards a fresh and interesting option.

The last time I checked the best housing edge was around 97% that is the gambler has 3 percent chance of raking some profits. Some casino holds housing edge around 99% which is quite impossible for a gambler to win much. All goes back to them, the house. The casino takes up profits more often than the gambler. So, players are meant to focus more on getting the fun, than just looking to make quick money in gambling. However, the whole gambling process is quite so difficult for a player not to get tempted into chasing more funds. Due to the psychological settings of the game and how humans are interested in making more funds. Seeing wins often can tempt a player to chase for some wins. And that's quite disturbing to the emotions of any player that engages in such behavior.

Moreover, holding back to the right behavior could be quite hard. The game belongs to the house, and they call the shots on all actions or results that occur in the game. Players only have the power to play with money. Hence, a player with no money may not be entertained by gambling. Therefore, reducing the high wagering speed or process will help a player enjoy his gambling session. Instead of cutting the session short and hoping for quick money, a gambler can easily elongate his gambling duration with a small amount of money. Thereby getting maximum, with less money.

I think the perception of every gambler differs based on their current behavior or personality. Change is constant and humans adopt it quickly than any other feeling. The truth remains that when a gambler is not interested in letting people discover his gambling behavior, he'd do anything possible to conceal the attitude. A concealed reason would be hard to decipher or discover. Hence, finding out the reason behind the privacy a gambler puts on his gaming activity is quite a huge task. I can only guess, from the perspective of players on this table. Most of them like you said wouldn't want to disclose a lot about everything they do.

It's quite crucial for them for some reason, maybe due to their influence, a player wouldn't want close friend to begin to gamble because of him. I think is for a positive reason for some, and negative for another. However, whatever the reason is, players who hide their gambling activity may not be doing something abstract from every other gambler who plays openly. What is most important is letting the whole behavior flow with no addictive signs attached. Although the downside of the behavior is there, and the player would face the music once he gets into problem gambling. Aside that disputes, a player who hides his gambling habit is cool provided he's not compulsive.

A nice scenario is the football game you explained above, not all players or gamblers would be capable of dealing with the analysis of a game successfully. However, a team at a disadvantage in the form of good players may lose out on a game. But, with the help of a guide to a player who isn't seriously involved in reviewing football games, he could figure out that a team isn't in complete form to win against their opponent. A gambler should spend time with other players and learn ideas for analyzing games like football. Aside from an aid or guide, they'll be able to help deal with creating their predictions with confidence. The problem is a lack of confidence. The main reason they run to a self-proclaimed expert for help.

A naive gambler loses his control the moment he faces the casino. With lesser skills to make the right decision in a game. Their option will increase the moment someone convinces them to help for a cut on their money. Gambling experts are not meant to bother themselves looking out for other players to issue out their predictions to, since they're experts, they're meant to be consistently winning and making profits. These are some thoughts gamblers should have in mind before subscribing to those experts. Why are they not winning enough for themselves?

Gambling addicts have enough way to go on reviving or recuperating their thoughts to the right decision. Have never mentioned the difficulty of regaining one's thinking after moving in the wrong lane. Switching to the responsible side isn't a simple decision. The interference of a person, friend, or family to watch over the addict levels down the playing field. The stress load is no longer completely on the gambler. Instead, he shares his troubles with someone he could trust. Gambling addiction gives at some point room for the addict to change. That's how they also go to therapy and other helping hands.

So, a gambler who is mean or determined to win his fight against gambling addiction wouldn't go through the low road to bypass the agreed form of picking money for gambling. That'll be causing more detriment to himself. Which isn't a good attitude for a person that wishes to change. Unless the player is freshly into addiction, he wouldn't consider doing what you said above. Although it's hard, most addicts probably have a rethink. And are genuinely interested in putting out a strategy that'll help minimize their compulsive wagering habit.

Gambling addiction is not meant to be taken lightly, gamblers are to be watchful of their decision, while gambling. Wagering continuously with no control puts the gambler on the verge of losing out all his funds. Running out of money is quite risky, for the sake of anxiety and anger. Which could lead to anxiousness to harness more money. Then, playing recklessly to regain the funds, has never been a smart option. Due to the wrong impression, it has on people, who think they'll win big by gambling with no caution, the niche is now flooded with reckless players. With an endlessly increasing number due to a lack of precautionary measures to regulate how these people waste their time and money.

It's never simple to meddle with one's time in the pursuit of lost money. Hence, the gambling process begins to get weary, yet the gambler doesn't stop playing easily. This could have been the best time to stop. But, as mentioned above, to get rid of gambling is not simple. The process is not easy. At some point, not a one-man fight. Some people would need the help of a close friend to deal with their urge to gamble. Nothing sweet can be found in addiction, regardless of the reason. We all deserve to respect our emotions and not hurt them. As the drive to meet up with the lost money could distract the emotions not to focus on the things, we are meant to be watchful about in our life activities, like gambling.
