I'll move ahead by saying that gambling every day isn't for naive or curious players. It's a stage of gambling for some experienced players who understand the need to enjoy daily gaming. By following the due diligence process for responsible gambling. Not just for their safety. But getting a full enticing session of gambling. Addicts misused this strategy and got into trouble. It's quite a difficult and dangerous gambling habit for inexperienced people. Most addicts today, were once responsible for a few weeks or more until they began abusing the daily gambling strategy. Before gambling daily, the player must stick to his plans. That's the best and only means of escaping problem gambling due to daily gambling.

That doesn't mean, gamblers who stake games twice a week are free from problem gambling. They can decide to try daily gambling and fail in the process. Gambling every day promotes the chasing of losses for newbies and less experienced. Players who have experience in the game will never fail to stop once the designated time has elapsed. Not money. Some will only stop when their money gets exhausted. Which is wrong. Playing each day demands that a gambler possess a strong experience of self-control. At least 3-5 hours a day is still a nice time range. Then wagering bit by bit to enjoy our money for a long period.

Sure, all gamblers are not in for the profits. It's a self-determination, whether one wants it or not. Money or fun. Skills or health purposes. Gamblers are vastly running a game filled with unique settings, almost specifically made for a single gambler. Each gambler feels a unique drive. It's not a place where one doesn't know what he wants. We the players are fulfilling the wishes of the house. Gambling in their casino. Staying careful and focused to understand why we are gambling, helps players to find out their reasons for gambling. The choices differ, just like our nationalities, financial needs, and fantasies differ. But we share one significant reaction when our needs are not met: disappointment.

If a gambler doesn't have fun in gambling, he won't be happy, because that's what he wants and is not able to receive it. Players who focus on money, and don't win it, will also get sad. In terms of losing money, the reaction also differs according to the individual size of the money. A player who to him, lost a huge amount of money, will react strangely. Unlike a player who lost a few cents or units of dollars. If a player relies on money over his emotions, he'd suffer emotionally. Even if he gets the win, it could go back to settling his emotional stress.

Plans change when the game begins, and it affects the confidence of the gambler in strange ways. Aside from gambling, when pressured to do something, our plans will change. Gamblers who allow the pressure of gambling compulsively to hold them, change their plan. Their previous decision may get altered due to the pressure of making quick decisions while gambling. Players often forget to quit as planned once a specific time elapse. Or even if they recall, the plan will get rescheduled to something else. It's a result of greed. Along the line.

The choice of making money easily supersedes the previous responsible plans. Like money limitations. As the results adjust gamblers tend to restructure their plans towards a better-looking method that could get the big wins. While still in the session, the whole previous plans will be forgotten. Players only remember their main responsible plans after the game is over. When it's almost late. However, deep down the remorse could start, but once back to the game, the same mistake will be repeated.

I prefer playing slot games due to the fast results. Sports betting is cool but possesses elongated time for the results to be concluded, which affects my thoughts while waiting for the results. Slots only make the process simpler, leaving me to wonder less about what to expect. Can decide to leave when I feel overwhelmed with the results. But, in sports, while watching the game, the viewers get unique reactions when the game isn't ending in their favor. Their mood begins to switch from all angles. However, the thrills are cool when winning.

Gamblers develop different feelings while watching their gameplay. Unlike slot where I'd only decide how to feel and when to end the game. Football causes curiosity and anxiety in the viewers. Though it's a good game, when money is staked on it, those agitations aren't good health-wise. Not talking about you, you've got a nice explanation about how you feel about gambling in soccer. In my perspective it only makes me want to get angry over a player for being unserious. I only watch soccer naturally, who wins or loses doesn't bother me.

Yes, gambling as a side hustle doesn't sit right as a thought. No gambler has ever made it quite big in this hustle. The house isn't employing their player, except for those who work part-time with the casino. However, while gambling it's crucial for a gambler to devise a plan. Players with no target or plan of what they're doing in a casino, face many troubles. And they'll have a hard time accepting gambling to be a hobby. Instead, they want quick funds, thereby thinking of gambling as a side hustle. Although, gambling is good as a hobby. Especially when the gambler is interested in the games and doesn't focus so much on profits.

A lot can be learned from gambling. Some players don't care about the other technical aspects of gambling, where they'll help build their mental health. Gambling as a hustle diminishes the mental health of the gambler, into thinking he deserves to win the money he's lost. Playing as a hobby gives the gambler some form of confidence that he won't fall into trouble. That's what mainly matters in gambling as a hobby. But when the gambler isn't enjoying it anymore, I don't think this will be tagged a hobby, again.

Gambling offers excitement to players who want to generate fun through the game. But the changes are also a factor in the player's behavior. If a gambler isn't prepared to retain the fun he's getting in gambling, he finds himself in trouble. However, gambler must exercise their decision-making skills, and not get over themselves when making choices. Gambling requires steady self-observation if a player is looking out for the excitement. Being sad is an involuntary occurrence, staying sad is a decision. After a loss, a gambler can be sad, but if he remains sad, it's his choice. The gambler has the choice to change his mood swings.

Players who enjoy gambling can get sad about losing some bet but laugh over it after some time has crept by. That's a smart means of watching the games in a stable mood. Gambling with a troubled mind grants more losses to the gambler. As his decision would be coming from a place where uncertainty thrives. His mind is not clear on exactly what to do. Hence, whatever he does would be blamed upon, him, especially when he doesn't win a dime. Such experiences confuse the facial expression of a gambler, whether to stay happy or remain sad. In a nutshell, those who are determined to be excited will be, for a long time.

Upbringing is one part forward for good or bad human behavior. A player who decides to hide while gambling with friends has his reasons. But in the context of upbringing, could it be he was never allowed to openly associate with people growing up? Humans display a huge part of their childhood, as adults. There are multiple factors as to why these people chose to stay in segregated areas to gamble. As they say, correlation doesn't imply causation. We only would guess the reason, in my previous thoughts, I think they're running from the cops. But I still wonder if a gambler running from the cops is serious about this, he'd be in closed doors.

In further thoughts, while writing this, I think of it as valid. Staying outdoors allows the gamblers the freedom to see clearly who approaches the environment, and it's easier to take off. So, it's unrealistic to use one person's upbringing to define the reason behind the behavior of multiple people. The players in that circle may not have similar parental training. This makes the thoughts of upbringing not completely acceptable. However, if they are teenagers who just started their gambling, they could be, truthfully, hiding from people who may report to their parents.

The player may have been shocked to lose $1000, a reminder that he shouldn't gamble what will cause him pain. One anger leads to another, he's now down on both sides, lost his TV and money. That's a severe pain on his end. His regret would lodge in his heart for a while. Peace of mind is the oxygen of humanity. A player whose mind is not peaceful would get stressed out in their thoughts. I think a close person to him like Op should talk to him. He could get depressed if he doesn't receive valuable attention for overreacting in this manner. Explaining to him that all will be fine soon is a better word but letting him understand that his terrible behavior could put him in despair, would make a difference.

That's a problem gambling by the corner, he should be attended to immediately. His expectations have failed him. Having in mind what he would have done with the doubled money if he won, seemed to him a disappointment when he lost. All he ever thought of buying with the money may have been lost. Thoughts like this make gamblers gamble beyond their control. However, he should be in a better mood, soon, emotionally. He was only terrified; his anger would get suppressed sooner. But there is a big tendency he'd get into that behavior again when he tries gambling a high amount and losing it.

Gamblers get fatigued while brainstorming on the right choice to make in a game. The exercise consumes excessive brainpower and takes away strength for willpower from the gambler. Leaving the player in the dilemma of what next is right to do about a specific decision. Whether to stop or continue. Money has already gone down the money pit. Going after it seems to be a better option. Who else wouldn't go after lost money? It's a normal human phenomenon. When a child's money falls out of his pocket, he'd go back looking for it. The casino or house, work strides ahead to formulate a better means of manipulating the player's human psychology. Too many blames are on the side of the foul gamblers as I may tag them, for chasing after losses. But that's how we all think.

Psychotherapists also have stated that anybody can be a victim of this pursuit. And continually trying out this chase, requires more money. That is the player must wager to get his money back. The search now gets weary for the player, with no strength of control. He'd lose it and go after it like a cheetah. There he makes the biggest mistake of his gambling journey. Hence, staying woke on the energy left in us is a super good decision other than paying much attention on the money. The emotions control how we spend money, so the thoughts of the gambler should be on his emotions. Not to get tired and lose his self-control. Where he wouldn't get a hold of how he wagers his money.

It's terrible for a gambler not to quit when he feels uncomfortable with his losses. Advancing on the next wager isn't a smooth choice for any gambler. He could be ending his bankroll each day he tries that. Eliminating the joy he once had, if he ever did, while gambling. It's not an easy task to move away after a win, and that drags down most gamblers to stick around on their gadget. Checking if a lucky day is in the corner. Such thoughts corner the gambler to believe he's about winning, anytime soon. Whatever it is a player accepts is right, going after more wins is unacceptable.

Because the trouble could start out from there, and he'd be unable to quench the fire. It's more like a challenge to the player to accept his responsibility, and not all would go home thinking like a loser. So, sticking around till the funds are over seems to some players as though they've achieved success. Don't know what they think of it. But leaving earlier would have saved the player the stress of leaving in an empty pocket. However, gambling is fun, with the funds. With no funds, it's devastating and incredibly annoying. The ball is in the player's court. But not at all times, will a player think for himself. As the losses could be too much of a burden, he wouldn't think of changing his reasons of going for more and stop.

I fully understand the need to reach out to problem gamblers, because of the emotional struggle they're undergoing each day. It's not a simple task for the helper either. But with awareness and preventive provisions for newbie players, it could be achieved. The other problem would be how could this be circulated among all the gamblers in the world. It's a big challenge for the gambling niche. Yes, I strongly accept that it's achievable. Given time newbie players can adjust to the advice of people around them or make it open to their loved ones that he's now into gambling. Hence, making it simple for them to watch him closely, and be able to detect any new behavioral change in his life. However, time plays a vital role in such a development or change.

Not every player, due to the stigma placed on gamblers, is comfortable sharing with others about his gambling habit or addictive problems. I think the gambling community online has work to do, by building a strong awareness for players to discuss their problems online with other experienced players. These could be a bit helpful, but not compared to facial therapy with a loved one or a therapist. In a nutshell, what is most important is starting from somewhere. Other than leaving the addict to undergo the stress alone, with no helper at his disposal.

Not just in gambling, whenever we want to do something that requires risking our emotions and finances, looking at the family and kids who also would need the funds is a strong factor. It's like an energetic hold back to the person, to stay strong for his family and loved ones. When gambling recklessly it affects not just the gambler, but many other people who look up to him. Being thoughtful as a gambler helps in building strong self-control so as not to fall off into a negative part of gambling. Doing something crazy for the sake of gambling has never been my thing, but don't know what it could be in the future.

The game is quite confusing, and people or players tend to change according to the environment around them. While I still look out for the best in the future, presently, gambling responsibly is a good thing. And shouldn't be left behind for any form of pleasure that other players claim is found in compulsive gambling. However, our self and what we want for ourselves shouldn't be neglected. And nobody wants for himself a broken relationship with his friends and family due to compulsive gambling. So, no need to impress other compulsive gamblers around us who want us to gamble in the form of chasing losses.

Whatever advancement that is developed in the tech world is always in the form of attack and defense. The casino also is prepared for any threat whatsoever that could be used to manipulate the house or results. Attackers who wish to use AI in the casino may have been trying it with not much positive results. People have been asking if AI can be used to gamble, and all. But it's almost impossible. Although the world is transforming technologically, and no company will sit back and watch it run past them, as it will be a disadvantage. So, I agree with your point that the casino is prepared to follow any due precautions diligently to maintain the security of their business and provide the best for their users. I don't think AI would be any much threat. Everyone already is adapting to the usage of AI.

Going all in is a strategy in gambling, and some gamblers are now addicted to doing this oftentimes. It's the worst form of addiction I've read someone complain about. I do go all in some time, but when I'm sure I've got a royal flush in a poker. I Can't do that in a slot, easily. As it's not under my control, the result could go wrong, thereby, shortening the gambling session and putting me on the test to wager more money. However, gambling bit by bit is a recommended gambling technique for every gambler. At least being mindful of our funds, and how they leave the bankroll is worth it, as a gambler.

So, when the gambler decides to leave the casino, he wouldn't have to stress himself over the decision, as he's not lost enough money in the session. But a player who has wagered a whopping amount of money wouldn't leave the casino without his money. He'd wager more in pursuit of more wins, to recover the lost money. In the case of doubling money and leaving immediately, that doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes the gambler wouldn't be opportune to win a reasonable amount enough to convince him to go home.

There'll be a countervailing reaction from other people regarding such ideas, but it sounds like hiding the truth under the sun. Growth is inevitable, since he'd never remain a baby forever it's crucial to walk him through the future he's about to face, while in his childhood. Hence, in the future, he'd be able to look back and thank his stars for having a responsible parent who tutored him earlier on the importance of money management. Not all will grow up and end up as gamblers, but even if they gamble, he wouldn't chase losses. As he's known the basics of limiting his expenses, as a child.

When with kids, I tend to teach them what would favor them in the future, because it's inevitable. Putting them on the right track gives the child advances over some financial challenges, even as a teenager. A lot of adults battle with financial management because it came to them as a surprise. Their parents sounded like those around you who always say let the kids be kids. Erasing from their mind those children will end up becoming adults soon. Same way they were taught to learn how to eat, bathe, clean their teeth, etc., a child should also be versatile in other basic factors of living a healthy life like money management.

All the techniques mentioned above that fikrett said help in maintaining emotional regulation, require patience to learn and maintain. Most times or all the time the decisions we make as gamblers determine how our journey will end up in the game. The most challenging part of gambling is that this decision randomly switches from one to another, and a player may not be able to dictate which is the right one to choose or pick. What is to be done when a player is winning continuously, he wouldn't be sure if to stop immediately after he gets his first loss or continue gambling, whether he could be lucky.

Hence, the whole thing begins to get confusing in the long run. Gambling is mainly revolving around self-control, as the house is working round the clock to change how the results and decisions of gamblers appear. It's a mind game and the house keep winning it over the gambler. With patience, a gambler would be able to delay the gravity that pushes them to make wrong decisions. Whatever the plan of the casino, gambling cautiously helps the gambler not to risk a lot of his money, knowingly or unknowingly.

Gambling in front of our children is unrealistic and could affect the emotional growth of the child. Starting as a child to watch a father gamble is a threat to the child's future because he'd flashback to the days he watched his dad gamble. Hence, doing it wouldn't seem to him as a new thing. Making him gamble as a pro, despite being a newbie. Which attitude, could lead him to problem gambling as he never had prior training on ways to gamble responsibly. Parents who make the mistake of playing online games in their kid's presence are risking the future financial performance of the child.

Although it seems hard to always escape the presence of children whenever we gamble, there are other quiet moments when kids don't disturb their parents.

Such times could be utilized for gambling, and the gambler will also have a routine for gambling. Instead of gambling recklessly, not mind if his kids are presently watching or not. These things affect the society too, not just the kids at home. He could influence his friends in school, and the problem spread across a wider range of kids in the neighborhood. They could begin trying it out with their gadget during their free time. Parents should be careful with the behavior around kids, as they're fast learners, especially with their parents.

A hobby means something a person derives pleasure in doing and wouldn't mind whether he earns money doing it or not. Hence, gambling in terms of a hobby has a unique definition depending on the usage per player. Just like any other hobby you mentioned on the OP, some people do what they do for money, while others enjoy doing it. If a gambler decides to enjoy gambling regardless of the outcomes, it should be considered as a hobby, and nothing else. The problem with most people is that they've heard lots of wrong inputs on the definition of gambling.

Hence, they'll never accept within their jurisdiction that gambling is a hobby. I'm not surprised this thread erupted out of an argument. Such people will argue this because it's not logically understandable to them to tag gambling as a hobby. Well, if a player sees gambling as his hobby, he could be making the right choice or the wrong one, depending on his activities. But gambling as a hobby seems more interesting than not. Expecting rewards from gambling at all times wouldn't make any increment to the joy or excitement a player would receive in gambling.

Nice try Op, it's quite fine to say that gambling has two options and repeating it as a reminder on the write-up as well was a bit tiring. However, gambling sometimes overshadows the gambler not to think ahead of what next to do, whether to leave or stay. This feeling of, "it could be my chance of winning on the next game" traps gamblers. I see gamblers who trust that the moment they walk away could be their winning moment. Hence, they'll try again, and again till nothing is left. Most players tend to feel relaxed not to play again once they've exhausted their money.

Gambling in both forms helps players get addicted or responsible, lose or gain money, mental health, or mental disorders. These factors keep on increasing as I think of it. So, players are left with the option of choosing where they want to belong. The right or the wrong track. Everyone knows which is the right one for them or not. Some players can choose to chase loss as their own right track, and nothing can be done about it. They've got nice reasons why chasing loss is the best form of gambling for them. In a game that only has two options to choose between, it's quite difficult to find a huge number of people who will continually go with the right ones. While gambling, I'll always examine my game not to end up thinking that the wrong path is the right one.

The effect gambling has on a gambler is personal, it depends on the ways the player follows his strategies. Our strategies can indeed be temporary in many ways, such that most players may not be able to control or maintain their methods. Or maybe, the strategy isn't fine enough to fetch the player what he wants in gambling. Hence, he'd look out for a better method of gambling that could yield him what he wants. But some strategies can be risky, especially when they revolve around making lots of profits in gambling. The player, who wants lots of profits, will end up receiving lots of failures that could lead to anxiety and then addiction.

That shows he'll never receive any further health benefits from gambling. A player who wants to develop his critical thinking skills can get that in gambling. It depends wholly on the person's gambling methods, and how he's able to think and rethink methods of recreating fresh strategies that'll make his gambling journey fun and exciting. But not everyone is opportune to devise good strategies for gambling, and don't know that gambling has some health benefits. So, they'll never receive those benefits listed by the OP.
