But sometimes interacting with other gamblers is quite fun and can give us additional experience.
In gambling, having lot of experience will be very useful so we also need something called sharing experiences with other gamblers.
It just that some people may also be active in the gambling site chat room, they don't know each other but it very fun and can reduce the level of mental stress when experiencing several losing bets.
It just that if in the real world or land-based casinos we really need to limit ourselves because there are several groups that might influence our mindset and they will have bad impacts such as making us uncontrollable with several invitations to bet excessively.
We must be wise in choosing groups or people in gambling because not all of them can have positive impact.
Yes, it is fun interacting with other gamblers because we can gain knowledge that might be useful. After all, they share many things with others. They also get to know each other, which could become an even closer relationship. But maybe there are only a few people who will chat in the casino site chat room while the others are busy gambling and want to win the gambling game. The chat room also often shares tips with other friends, which makes the atmosphere more enjoyable because many people will like giving bonuses to those who win at gambling. That pleasant feeling is very different from what we find in physical casinos because we can see them and chat directly, so the interaction can also be closer.

~snip~
I don't understand the new features that the casino might provide, but if it just for resting then we can improve the gambling site.
It just that if you really want to rest by having social interaction with other gamblers, it will be as easy as sitting at table and chatting with each other.
And for online casinos, can do as I mentioned before, namely entering the chat room.
I don't understand it myself, but if they want to take a break from gambling, it's better for them to immediately leave the casino so that they don't want to gamble again. That would be better because from telling each other stories, there may be a desire to continue gambling. After all, you are curious about what they are telling you. Chatting in the chat room will depend on each person, and there is no pressure to stay there.

Yes maybe you are the same as me in terms of experience in the world of gambling, I don't know if there are enough people who have also managed to quit gambling activities because they are tired of losing or not, on the other hand I think not everyone can take this path when losing dominates them, Or I mean not everyone can choose to quit when they have lost enough because there are also those who are basically gamblers who are unable to accept the fact that they lost and what happens instead is an act of revenge, they come again with a large amount of budget as a dedication to chasing victory and returning something that has been lost and it's not once or twice they do but while they have money then there is a possibility to chase victory.

So I think it depends on the person too, but honestly I don't know what influences or causes why they choose something else, and yes maybe I will predict a little that they don't have the right understanding of gambling at all or it could be that they have a personality that is easily provoked by things that upset them even though it's trivial and that's why obviously when defeat dominates then yes usually they will chase victory. On the other hand, I hope there will be more people who have the same feelings as me or you, which I hope they feel bored when they always lose so that they can slightly reduce unwanted things such as the amount of defeat.
Perhaps some people experience the same thing as we do and finally decide to stop gambling for a while. It really helps to be able to divert from gambling because stopping gambling and looking for other things that can keep us busy can provide pleasure as well as the pleasure we get from gambling. Some other people can choose to stop gambling for a while, but they still find it difficult to leave gambling, so they are not able to immediately leave gambling. But if they deposit more money into their gambling account, they may experience an even bigger loss than before. And it will be more painful than the previous experience.

Yes, it depends on the person because, in this case, their honesty will show whether gambling benefits them or they are just experiencing consecutive defeats, which means they have lost more money. Those who are still curious about gambling will not choose to stop gambling for a while because they still want to experience the challenge of recovering their losses or winning again. But it's still not easy, and it can even make them lose a lot of money because, at that time, they may not have good self-control anymore, so they are easily tempted by the promotions they see from gambling.

That's right, I agree with you, if you have gambled many times and the result you get at the end is still the same, namely losing, then it's time to stop, it's impossible to reverse the situation, even if luck is on your side, but We still have to be aware that excessive gambling will only get us into big and serious problems. It's clear that every gambler will feel this, because people who gamble tend to be hungry for victory, so it's not surprising that many gamblers want to get bigger wins after winning.

This can happen if they have strong self-control, so they are not easily tempted by gambling or by taking big risk actions such as continuing the game after winning, this has become a common case among gamblers. Many of them decide to continue gambling after winning, with the dream of being able to win again with a larger amount, but they don't see and don't realize there is a bigger risk. By doing this, of course there is a chance that their winnings will be lost again, and this is what usually happens when gamblers decide to continue gambling after winning. and in the end they can only regret it.
And rather than experiencing more losses, we should first stop our gambling activities for a while. We can gamble again after taking a break to calm our minds so that when we return to gambling again, we won't have any burdens and just want to gamble for fun. And this time, when we return to gambling, we don't want to chase after winning because we have experienced bad events before, so we just want to fill our free time by gambling. We also won't play gambling for long because we know that the longer we gamble, the more money we can lose. That's what we want to avoid to take care of the gambling game and prevent losing a lot of money.

Taking a break from gambling to reflect on what we have gained from gambling can give us an understanding that gambling is really for fun and not to make money. We will not be easily tempted by promotions given by casinos, especially since we already know that it can make us tempted again and forget what we have practised so that we will make the same mistakes again. We don't want to experience as many losses as before, so we will always be careful when spending money on gambling. We also won't regret what happened because it was a mistake we made, and we have learned a lot from our own experience.

Realistically, nothing will happen in the sense of achieving healing if the individual keeps insisting he could win if he tried gambling once more. There isn't cure when the person doesn't accept the fact he is ill. Family, friends, professionals can offer the most efficient support network to the addicted individual that it won't be sufficient. I even believe it could make things worse in this case, as the individual would feel inside a comfort zone, where he isn't confronted by anyone regards his delusional points of view, rather he only receives encouragements or reinforcements, instead of fair punishments for his distorted perceptions of what gambling can proportionate him. The person needs a "shock" to wake up to reality!

He needs to understand that if he doesn't change his mindset, he isn't going to have support from his beloved ones anymore, because everything in this life has limits. Not only the addicted is a flawed and weak human being with emotional limits. Everyone is, including the people trying to help him. If they see no results on their hard efforts, the tendency is they give up at some point, and once it happens, the addicted person will be by himself. So better that he doesn't waste the opportunity he is having in the currently moment to take advantage of every received help from this support network.

That is what he should be aware of.
The people around him may be able to show the person who is addicted to gambling the evidence or fact that he is addicted to gambling so that, gradually, he can open his eyes and see the changes he has experienced. When he can see changes in himself, maybe he will regret it, and when he feels regret and wants to cure his gambling addiction, that is what will make him want to visit someone who is an expert in treating gambling addiction. The family can continue to encourage him to undergo the healing process because it is for the good of himself and his family. When he can experience the healing process and has a family who continues to accompany him, he will see that his family does not just leave him but continues to be with him and provides encouragement and encouragement to recover from his gambling addiction.

Yes, he must be able to change his mindset, and even though he is already addicted to gambling, he can still change his mindset because as long as there is a will, there will be a way that will help him to heal himself. He can also get support from the people around him because they will always show the person who is addicted to gambling that they are people who care about him and want to see him return to the way he used to be, which can make them happy. This will encourage the person who is addicted to try to carry out the healing process well, and maybe it won't take that long for the person to be able to cure their gambling addiction. With encouragement from those closest to him, he can encourage him to keep trying, and even though it is difficult or difficult for him, he can still smile while undergoing the healing process.
465  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 17, 2024, 03:57:10 PM
~snip~
Exactly, but the thing can be reduced to that, if you are successful in the game it means that you are making money, that is, if I am at my normal job, which is not a casino job, I don't keep my money because that is what I do well, and I know that in a job the income is fixed and if it is fixed then I only worry about doing things well, in this order of things I will always assume to do things well, on the other hand if I am in a casino where ' I know that my money can be lost with a bad move because things are more delicate, I can't be thinking that since I won once or twice in the casino, I'm going to take it as if it were a fixed income, because I may have many luck, but basically I fear things because of money, for me money is imperative because otherwise how can I measure my success? There is no way, I could say that things can be like this, those who say that success is that they can control themselves, that they play very well, that they know the game, well all they want, but if they lose? that's not what you're looking for.

I see that anything in the casino is good to Always look for a way to win, going to a Casino with a winning mentality is the correct attitude, now those who think like aneriomene I said that they only measure things by what they can do, As far as they know, not that, because that is learned with experience, and that is something that has to be demonstrated all the time, but in my opinion success is with money, if I see that a player all the time Enters a casino and you leave with more money than you enter, that in my opinion is success, it doesn't matter if you are there for 5 minutes, 1 hour, 10 hours, 12 hours, but if you leave with money that is what is required to stay there, for that reason many Gamblers can't stand the casino system because they are not successful, and unfortunately, if you don't have money in the casino , you are nobody , that is what will forever be the premise.
If you can make money from your job, you should be happy because you don't spend money to get a salary from your job. You can make money and fulfil your living needs. And if you compare it to gambling, where you have to use money to make money, you won't always be able to win because you will lose. And if your luck is not good, you will experience losses more often, so it will be painful to see all your money run out. That is why only a few people can become successful. Those who cannot be successful will experience failure and lose a lot of money. Perhaps they can win, but it's only temporary because if, from that win, they become greedy, they will experience another loss, which might be even bigger. And that's why, if you want to be successful, you should look for a job and work well so that you can get a promotion from that job to get a promotion which means your salary will also increase.

It depends on each person because some people go to casinos to have fun and don't think about many things. These are the people who will not experience any problems because they can gamble comfortably and can also enjoy their free time. But if they come to the casino to win from the gambling games they play, they may experience disappointment because the results could be different from what they imagined. We also cannot gamble without restrictions because we can lose much money. And even if you also deposit more money, it still won't guarantee you can get the win you want.

~snip~
Not new to me as I'm also guilty of not cashing out instead I did try to push for more hoping that it will be more profitable than what I already have, though not that same amount but the opportunity that I missed is something that I regret after that session,  it keeps on lingering in my ears that,  what if I managed to cash it out for sure I'm enjoying treating myself with something.

And like what you said it's that temptation that push us to seek for more, thinking that if luck will continue to back us up we will be able to cash out much larger amount of winnings.
It's okay if you don't cash it in because you're not alone doing it. I have the same experience as you, so we both have the same experience and only differ in the amount of money. We will be tempted to use the winning money for other things when we win. But in this case, we don't cash out immediately because we are sure we will win a lot of money after the game ends. But what happened was that we ended up losing because the situation reversed so that the team we chose couldn't win even though, on paper, they were favoured to win. Well, that's how gambling is, and we have to accept it, and maybe we can win another day.

We have experienced things like that, and we should be able to prevent them from happening next time. We also must remember that if we see a profit, even if it is a temporary profit and a large amount, we should immediately cash it in to avoid bad things. Even though we should be able to win in full when the game is over, that's okay because we've already cashed out a lot of money.

~snip~
Like men who act as the head of the family, obviously if they are suffering from addiction then the first impact that will feel it is their own family besides themselves, as you said that they have a big responsibility for their own family, especially in providing for their children and wife. I think it is clear that the first impact will be a loss of balance in terms of their finances, because the allocation of money for family needs will be disrupted as a result of the allocation of money on gambling activities that they do.

The first thing they will experience is probably financial problems and after that it will spread to other things such as the quarrels that you said, this is something that has a high probability of happening in the family if their father as the person who has full responsibility for supporting his family members is involved in gambling or becomes one of the addicted gamblers, And the bad thing is that they will most likely separate or divorce because they are not strong with the weak finances that certainly cannot meet the needs of the family, honestly not infrequently I see cases like this in the local news and so the point is gambling is your starting point to really experience a lot of problems if you do not have the right approach.
The family is the one who feels the impact the most, if it is the head of the family who is addicted to gambling. They will have difficulty surviving because the head of the family may have used the money for gambling. And if the family does not have savings or savings, it will add to their suffering because they will lose their money just for gambling. Their family's financial balance will be disturbed because their money allocation will be messed up so that they will no longer be able to meet their family's needs.

There have been many cases of divorce that have occurred because of the gambling problems experienced by many families. If that happens, the children will feel the impact of the divorce, especially if the children are still small or teenagers. They will see how their parents separated because of gambling, and that can make them experience trauma that will be difficult to heal. This may be the result of someone who is addicted to gambling and does not want to try to cure his gambling addiction, causing his family to fall apart. Later, their children can become gamblers like their parents, especially if they often see their parents gambling, so they will think that gambling is a normal thing.

That is a very wise decision, not having to follow other people's bets and strategies because it will certainly have differences about capital preparation and others.
Betting according to our financial circumstances, according to our mental state, it will provide comfort in gambling.

Moreover, I who gamble only as entertainment, there is no necessity to always win because I just enjoy the process, enjoy the gambling game.
That's because we don't know whether other people's bets and strategies will work well for us or whether we will experience losses. We also don't know how they analyze, so it's better for us to analyze it ourselves to learn to improve our analytical skills. And it is true that when gambling, we have to adjust it to our financial situation so that we don't lose too much money.

By playing gambling casually and considering it as entertainment, we can enjoy the process and also get pleasure from it. We will not be too eager to pursue victory, especially if we do not have better analytical skills.
469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: January 17, 2024, 02:23:24 PM
~snip~
First of all, poor people shouldn't be engaged with gambling too often or spending considerable sums of money on it, respectively to their total income. If they are gambling with the purpose of overcoming poverty, they have developed the wrong mindset for their lives. By doing this, they aren't having fun, which gambling is supposed to proportionate, neither making profit on long term, as most gamblers will always lose, anyway. So, it really makes no sense that poor people keep insisting in gambling. They would have better chances if they used their small income in another manners, like investing in Bitcoin or reselling stuff until achieving an enough amount of money to buy a piece of land or property.

By gambling continuously, the chances are poor people remain poor for the eternity. Of course there will be few exceptions who will hit big wins and leave poverty, and these exceptions will be used by the majority to justify the reason why they are gambling, although they should be still aware a life change is not going to happen to most of them through gambling. A major source of income from gambling isn't feasible for most of us, and part of being a responsible gambler is to be conscious about this simple fact.
They can gamble but must have strict limits so that they do not spend a lot of money gambling. They must be able to think that gambling is something fun and don't need to take the game too seriously. If they lose, just accept their defeat and don't try to recover their losses or if they win, then it's time to stop gambling. If they can stick to the limits, they will be fine, and even if they don't have a lot of money, they can still enjoy gambling games. But it would be better if they could use their money for more useful things such as investing in bitcoin, which could provide benefits in the future. It can give them the opportunity to change their lives for the better, especially when they can invest their money regularly in bitcoin.

As long as they can comply with the rules they make, they can still gamble like other people so they can experience the pleasure of gambling. If they don't think about winning and just aim for fun, it might give them a chance to win. Perhaps luck will come to those who don't think about winning. And if people who don't have much money can win the jackpot prize from the gambling game they often play, it will be a life changer for them.

~snip~
Of course, poor people tend to think that gambling can make them rich if they are lucky enough to get a big jackpot, for example bets that have a higher multiplier such as slots. They use slots because they are easy to apply in the hope of winning big and can change their lives, making gambling their main source of income. In my opinion, this is quite risky for poor people because they have limited money and they also have to think about their daily needs. If they fail to make a profit, they will only regret making gambling as their main income.

However, there are some people who believe that gambling can be a source of income if they master gambling games, such as sports betting. If they are experts in sports betting, they will pursue it because sports betting requires skill so that it can produce opportunities for profit, but in my opinion, winning is always uncertain. So gambling still cannot be used as a main source of income.
The thought of getting a big jackpot is wrong because it can trigger them not to pay attention to how much money they have used to gamble. Especially if they play slot games, it can make them tempted to deposit more money to win. Playing these slots requires luck, so they can't always hope to win it because if they don't have luck, they won't be able to win. If they can't change their thinking, they will only experience defeat, which will get bigger if they can't control their money spending.

If they think about using gambling as a source of income, they will experience disappointment because they will find it difficult to make money. Gambling is just for fun in their spare time, and there is no need to gamble too often, which can make them forget to control themselves.

The main goal is indeed for them to be famous and have many followers so that they will easily make money from the referrals spread.
Claiming that he always gets big wins.

Many influencers do this type of marketing strategy, even though they don't actually get a win.
Sometimes they become brand ambassadors and victory is already in the previous setting.

It's better to think about yourself and don't be amazed by other people's victories.
We don't know what's behind the victory, focus on ourselves and determine what strategy to use.
That means we must be careful when we see an influencer broadcasting a video and not be tempted by what they say. We should look for more information if an influencer says to try a new casino and doesn't just believe it. This is a form of caution that we take to avoid fraud, which often occurs. But it is the influencer's job to promote the casino so that they will do that anyway.

We are the ones who have to be careful in choosing the influencers we will follow so that we can avoid bad things and will not be tempted by the offers or promotions they provide. We don't know anything about the new casino, so that could be a problem. Just let the influencer continue to show off his victory to the public, and we don't need to pay attention to it.

~snip~
Yeah, stick to what is on your plan when you gamble because you're not going to know how it is going to be when you're able to pass on that budget for your gambling activities. We've heard a lot of stories that it didn't do well on them when they set like 5%-10% of their monthly salary and when they've lost, they think that it's fine to add some more because they will be able to recover it. That's a wrong thinking and just take a loss, as a total loss and you'll never recover it. Always start with a fresh budget that you're not going to regret losing it. Because that's how gambling is right? and we keep on telling to gamble only what people can afford to lose so there won't be any regret at the end.
Setting a budget of 5%-10% of their monthly salary is sufficient as gambling capital so they can gamble immediately. But they must really monitor their expenses and not exceed the amount of money because that percentage is for the gambling budget. If they exceed this budget, they have to reduce their budget for other things, which could disrupt their family's finances. That's why before we decide to gamble, we have to set a budget and know the limits of that budget so that we won't violate the limits we have made. And while playing gambling, we also have to have self-discipline to prevent many losses. Always holding the line can enable us to use gambling as entertainment and not think about chasing victory because it is difficult for us.

~snip~
That's the better mindset, when you lose, you better stop already and that tells what it is for your day. You don't chase, you don't recover because you'll never know what comes next and it might be worse than your current result. It is all about how you control yourself and I hope that majority of the gamblers will be able to control themselves to avoid bad situations that can end up broken relationships and mostly, being broke.
That's because I've experienced bad things in the past from gambling, so I don't want to experience it again. By playing gambling casually, I can enjoy whatever results I receive. I have no intention of recovering from my losses or pursuing my winnings because my time for gambling is over. Yes, you are right in saying that it is all about how we can control ourselves while gambling because that is what can prevent us from experiencing a lot of losses. We must not experience bankruptcy like other people experience because it is really painful.

~snip~
This is thinking of safety first, all you have to do is not to gamble when results aren't positive and at the same time, you just don't feel you wanna gamble when you don't have money. Don't let the urge wants you to gamble when you don't have money, that's the first rule that anyone can set and that is not to gamble when you have no money, a very simple logic and rule.
That means we have to practice self-control continuously so that we can say no to ourselves and will not have the desire to gamble. If we lose self-control, we have seen the consequences, so we don't need to experience it again. The lessons we learned in the past can help us to prevent many losses.

many are still hopers they are just continue to buy in hope that one day they will manage to pick the right sets of combination and give them the winning jackpot, there's no assurance and there's nothing that will be change even you have lots of tickets of just a single one, just a matter of luck, and like what both of you are saying there are many people who continue to buy and spend money for a lotterry ticket just to see if one day luck will allow them to win.
And because they still have hope, that makes them continue to buy lottery tickets even though they know that buying lottery tickets and winning depends on their luck. But for this matter of luck, we really don't know when we can get it, so it makes us buy lottery tickets endlessly and spend a lot of money. Buying lottery tickets continuously is okay as long as we can manage our spending money because even though the price of lottery tickets is low if you buy in large quantities, the money will also increase. However, that also doesn't guarantee we can win because we don't know whether we will be lucky enough to win the jackpot or lose again.

~snip~
Each ticket is a dream, a little hope in the huge universe of possibilities. The lottery isn't just a game; it represents our hope and belief in life's unexpected rewards. Moderation is key to good gambling. Dreaming and hoping are admirable, but let's be realistic. Buying tickets? Go for it! Please do it with a smile, shrug, and a healthy dose of reality. Earning the golden ticket isn't as important as enjoying the ride, suspense, and 'what if.' True magic is there. Buy that ticket, enjoy that wonder, and let it go. After all, life's finest rewards often appear unexpectedly
We should have a schedule for buying lottery tickets and prepare a budget allocation to buy a certain number of lottery tickets. Doing that will only make us spend a little money because we have already determined how much we will use. We must make this plan to avoid using too much money to buy lottery tickets. We also have to remember only to use the money we can afford to enjoy buying lottery tickets while waiting for the results to come out, and hopefully, we can win the jackpot prize.

Yes, I understand that skills and knowledge can create a closer chance of winning, but it is still a chance, you can only achieve a 70% chance maybe with the skills you have and that you apply, but you cannot achieve the remaining 30% percentage because it is luck that will determine whether you will actually win or not at all. The point is as you said that there is absolutely no certainty about the final result, even if we have good knowledge and skills but still this cannot guarantee 100% that you can end up winning.

The point is that in any type of gambling risk cannot be completely avoided because it is not gambling if you can get the results you want, so of course it's all about winning and losing. Those who are called experts are those who have good knowledge and that does not mean they are experts in terms of luck, this is what makes the possibility of risk cannot be avoided completely, but maybe the experts besides having good knowledge they also have good risk management which makes them less significant in terms of losing, on the other hand of course gambling is not something that should be taken seriously, it is just a game of chance that involves risk and that's why you should gamble with the aim of entertainment.
That's because we play gambling where we won't be able to win too often, especially as there is a luck factor that we must have to win. We must remember that even though our skills are high and good, we can also experience defeat because, in gambling itself, there is no certainty that we can win. That's why if we gamble, we don't need to be too eager to win the gambling game but just enjoy the gambling game. After all, we gamble to have fun, and if we win, it is a bonus for us.

We must be able to prevent the risk from increasing by managing our money for gambling so that we don't lose too much. By always limiting gambling activities, we can avoid losses and will not make excuses that look strange, like what people say. That is why we only need to use gambling as entertainment and not use it as a way to make money rather than experience disappointment. And because gambling is a game of chance, as you said, we have to be able to take good care of ourselves, especially since there are so many temptations that can make us forget to control ourselves.

But in terms of addiction, that is no longer part of enjoying but a lust and desire that needed to fill out, gambler who already suffering from this stage can do anything, things that un-imaginable that those person will do, most cases, they are selling valuable items or loaning money from friends or institutions and worse, they can do illegal things that really put them into a big risk.

That's how madness from a gambling addicted person can do, no control and doing things that not really usual.
Everything will change if you become addicted. The things they get when playing gambling, which previously were fun and entertainment, have turned into something they have to get where they want to win or recover their losses. They will be filled with lust and desires that must be fulfilled and don't care about how much money they spend. They can no longer think about the risks of using more money because what they have in mind has changed along with their desire to win.

Yes, they can even borrow money from other people when they don't have it just to continue gambling. And when they no longer have restrictions on gambling, that's when they will only think about using gambling as the only activity that can be fun for them.

Well we need to properly understand what we really want to see as regards to how we control or limits our gambling excess or our involvement in gambling, let say if I record loses within the last 24 hours, I won't be comfortable to play any longer today, this is because, when gambling is not done under close check, it could indeed result into something very bad along the way, times, we see that gamblers who chase a particular directions without keeping records or playing under protected last day information may not be able to put somethings into check in the present days.

So the ability to enjoy the game is in knowing how yesterday ended and making good use of today to achieve better results, most times, this knowledge is what leads to controlled gambling since you won't want to go the same route you took yesterday.
If within a few hours, we gamble and experience defeat, that should be a clear sign for us that we must immediately quit gambling and not gamble for a few days so that we don't think about the loss and also don't have the desire to gamble again. But when we win from gambling, there will definitely be a desire to get another win, and that can make us unable to stop ourselves and leave the casino. That is greed that we must regulate so that it does not put us at risk. In fact, if we win, we can enjoy the winning money and choose to take a break from gambling. That would be much better to do than continuing to gamble because it can provoke us to spend more money without us realizing it.

If we can control our gambling activities, we will not gamble excessively, and also, when we win, we can withdraw the winnings to enjoy. We also will not try to chase bigger wins because we have played enough gambling, so we pay more attention to ourselves than getting other pleasures from gambling.

I only bet on regulated sites. You can make thousands a year in the VIP programs, especially if you're hedging the free bets and promotions.
That's a lot of free money and privileges if you're a VIP and of course it's good to take advantage of this.
I prefer a site to have a VIP feature because once there's a big player in the site you can at least have the assurance that the site is ok and the site will continue to grow more because of the number of their gamblers and the volume of money coming in on the site. Most of the top site have their own VIP program, and that is their big difference to other site. 
But to get free money and many other privileges, you have to wager a certain amount of money to get bonuses from the casino. This amount of money is more than that of ordinary members, which does not require them to risk too much money. That is why not many gamblers are able to achieve VIP membership because there is a larger amount of money to be able to achieve VIP. Besides that, there may be a longer time to become a VIP member, and it depends on how much money they use and how often they gamble. VIP membership at each of these casinos is clearly different from other casinos, but each casino provides attractive bonuses.

most times people always find it difficult to cashout their fund when they have the opportunity,  due to having that mindset that they want to go home with the Goody bag.
When you are gambling and you have the opportunity to cash out, most people are always under the belief that if they leave the bet, they will be able to win their entire money. That’s what affects most gamblers when gambling, they will always have confidence that if they don’t cash out, they will be able to win everything.
That is the temptation of gambling that has made many gamblers complacent and choose not to cash out their temporary winnings. In fact, if he wanted to cash it in, he would have gotten a large amount of money, which he might rarely get, but because he was tempted to see the end result, he delayed cashing it out. He prefers to be patient until the end so that he really gets a very big winning money, more than what is in the picture. This is where we have to be able to understand the situation and conditions because we also have to know that at that time, we see an opportunity to cash in. But we also have to know that in the remaining matches, there might be a surprise that will be given by the opposing team so that it can turn things around and, at the same time, make us end up losing the bet. This has happened so often that we have to consider this before deciding to cash out or keep waiting until the match is over.

If husband cannot trust his wife then there will be no peace in the family. A wife should share everything from gambling to her husband. As OP mentions, the wife is not an addicted gambler. But she may feel shy that her husband might think badly of her if he knows about her gambling. But she should also know that if her husband knows about gambling behind her back, it may create a bad attitude towards her. So if the woman informs her husband about her gambling before he knows it, there will be no rift in their relationship.
Husband and wife must trust each other, but hiding a wife's gambling activities from her husband can cause problems between husband and wife. A wife should not be ashamed of her husband because that is what she does, and it is better if she is honest with her husband so that there is nothing to hide from her husband. Her husband might be able to provide a solution to what his wife is doing. A good husband will not want to see his wife fall into gambling and will do something to get his wife to leave gambling. There are still many fun activities they can do, and it's not gambling where if you gamble, there will definitely be risks that must be faced. And that risk can be greater if there is no responsibility. And before bigger problems occur, the wife should immediately admit her gambling to her husband.

I rarely chat with other gamblers because I gamble to fill my free time, and if I get involved in conversations with people in the casino, I might forget about the time and money I have prepared. Perhaps for other people, it is also a pleasure because we chat with other people after we have been gambling for a while and release the tension that we get after gambling.

If there are requests from customers about how to socialize with other gamblers in the casino, maybe the casino will add new features so that customers can gain knowledge that is not related to gambling. This will make them more comfortable when playing gambling at the casino because they rest after getting pleasure from gambling.

I rarely see other people gambling because I use online casinos to gamble so what I see, namely bets from other people who can be bigger than mine, will not be able to influence me. I realized that they could place bigger bets than me because they had bigger capital than me. We might be amazed to see that gamblers want to place large bets even though we would not wish to do so because our capital is limited. And that will only lead to the problem of losing money faster than we can imagine. Moreover, I don't want to follow bets made by other people because we are different in preparing capital for gambling. It's better for me to bet according to the amount of money I can afford so that I can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

this is what will always be remembered. and the fake wins that affiliates show are usually just to attract more users to sign up. such schemes are common. Affiliates are given an account by the casino which will be set up to always get big wins. it looks easy but when there are followers who try the casino. don't expect it to be like what happens with affiliates. they do work to fool new users.
all gamblers must remember this, The House Always Wins!
It's better to leave it to people who always say their wins in front of many people, especially if we never see them win in person. That will allow us to judge that the person has not been honest with other people about their winnings. I don't know what he wants or he deliberately wants to seek popularity by talking about his victory. However, that also doesn't guarantee that he will win at gambling. Instead of just being amazed by their words, which we don't know whether they are true or false, we should think about ourselves when playing gambling and how we can prevent many losses. It would be more valuable for us to do so that we would not encounter unnecessary problems.
