481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler on: May 02, 2024, 11:12:23 PM

If it's just about instincts, I'd rather follow my own predictions than AI, why? Isn't it only humans who control the AI, by inputting information and such things that they learn from humans? There is also a big chance that his predictions will not match compared to what our personal analysis will be. If our predictions are wrong, at least we must admit to ourselves that we made a mistake, there is no one else to blame but ourselves.

When a person begin to blame himself consistently in a behavior he can't control, soon, wouldn't it get tiring? He, the gambler, wouldn't feel comfortable playing the game, because he's lost confidence in himself. Accurately, a person can blame himself and pick correction that'll help change his life positively. That works on realistic achievements where some determination is needed to accomplish. Gambling with or with no determination, huge funds will get milked away by the inflammation, and losses.


It's also funny that players talk about relying on AI to improve their profits. I've not seen a gambler thay seeks for  gambling help from a toddler, but AI brain is below that of a toddler cannot equate. AI is not as intelligent as a baby. Like you said those AI learn languages for a long time and master how to answer designated questions. How then will a player trust an AI for prediction, If not greed. Human brain is far better and accurate than the AI in terms of predicting games and other human brain task.

I have heard lots of jokes about this, like people planning on changing their betting pattern.
Going from football to boxing, just so you get some pain for letting them lose money, and it's funny.
 
It's a game; one can lose or win, but these people do not want anything other than winning. Sometimes it's a way for them to console themselves after the loss. This also happened in football; despite the love they have for you, you're the cost of their loss. For that day, you automatically become a careless baller or keeper. I see no reason for being aggressive about not winning, and the statement isn't called for.
If they can't handle it anymore, maybe they will do it for real this time? What you said about gambling is true and if one can't accept the other outcome which is losing, much better if they just don't bet at all. If we are true fan, I don't think we will blame our idols once we lose the bet that we made on their game.

There are people who blame them secretly and they won't know it, so they won't feel bad about it but even if let say they are aware, I still don't think they will beat their selves for that. They are professionals and it's not their fault already but it's the fault of the gamblers because they may be too greedy, lazy, ignorant, etc...  to try and earn money out of gambling.  

I would have said gambling is the cause for this, but it's wrong. Thinking about it, before the institution of gambling in a universal usage across the world, I grew in an environment where people watched sport without gambling and still exhibit similar behaviors like destroying things or really get sad, because their team lost a penalty kick. Gambling I would say brings out the true behavior of some people regarding activities like sports.

Because, these people who behave this way were groomed to behave in such manner. Remember not all gamblers does a things as cruel as that. Hence, players could be aggressive naturally, and whenever something gets them sad they'll begin to act  aggressively. Gambling is a factor that makes such people sad to an extent of causing troubles or become destructive. Gambling, yes, can influence someone to behave in such a way. Yet, the whole blame should be on gambling, as the cause. The player also contributed to the way he acted.
483  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: May 02, 2024, 10:24:56 PM
Gambling is not wrong, that means it's useless to worry about what people say regarding my gambling habit. It's a matter of personal perspectives from non gamblers who see gambling as something wrong. However, when they tend to criticize a player it'll be right for the gambler to have a conversation with the critic to understand why he's still thinking of gamblers as irresponsible. Gone are the days when people reasoned of gamblers in such a manner. Hence, it's crucial that the critic learns something new after the conversation with the gambler.

Some of them also wants to become gamblers but are afraid of joining the niche. Due to negative things they've heard about gambling. Although, such thoughts doesn't help enough in stopping people from gambling. Nobody cares about those critics and their wrong perspectives. Once a gambler is not compulsive he's fine and is not meant to bother about what people would say about him. Sometimes close friends would be surprised to learn about our involvement in gambling yet it's not a big deal to bother or worry about. Addiction is the only thing a player should avoid not being a victim.

Yes but however it is a fact that most people have a negative perspective on gambling which makes them have a negative perspective on people who are involved in gambling so that criticism appears, I don't know what the problem is but what is certain is that society only sees as a whole about the bad behavior of a gambler who has entered the addiction phase, even though basically for example you are not one of the addicted gamblers but still people will not believe it.

On the other hand I don't know whether what you said is true or not about those who like to criticize actually want to be involved in gambling or not, but certainly one of the reasons they criticize others who are involved in gambling is because they really think that gambling is an activity that is prohibited or that must be avoided and with this then I think it is unlikely that they want to get involved. At the end of the day yes obviously whoever you are if you are involved in gambling then yes there might always be some people who criticize but as I said earlier that we don't need to care too much about it and one of my suggestions is that you better keep your gambling habits a secret to avoid the criticism and the other thing is always listen and apply some of the best advice from people to implement many precautions so that we can avoid the possibility of addiction.

Beginning from your second paragraph, critics indirectly seek for information where there are not. Personally, have seen people who criticized some habits in the past but are now a part of the habit. A new gambler can criticize an addict, not knowing he could get addicted soon. Who knew he'd become a gambler. It's all a matter of environment and fun activities. Same way those critics wouldn't understand that they can become gamblers in future. Hence, getting hold of such critics to realize that their thoughts about gambling is completely wrong is a nice reminder.

Those few words of conversation would be cemented in his brain. Such that, in future, eventually, when he becomes a gambler, those words will guide him. One side of the publicity is in decline. That's why most people in the society accept that gambling is completely wrong. Helping them redirect such thoughts will help the person to see gambling differently. And such complaints on criticism and stigmatism will be reduced. How you know this is that everyone around you who is a non gambler will argue that gambling has no health benefit.

I think it is not about gambling everyday but it is more about how much money you will be allocating for gambling each day or each week etc. For example, it make no sense that you gambling on fewer days on the week but during these days you spend a lot of your money. This will not help for sure. The goal should not be to limit the time for the gambling but to limit the amount spend on gambling.

It's all about planning before the execution. Many people think that they will manage the money and need no homework for this, but they are wrong. I would not consider how many days or time you have because a person can gamble with little amounts for hours and still lose nothing while other people may spend their all portfolio in a single bet and loses everything in a quick time.
Of course, limiting the amount will help you save your deposit for a longer period, because if you don’t do this, you can simply lose everything completely on the first day, without even knowing what an everyday game is. I've never played multiple days in a row because it doesn't fit my strategy of carefully selecting games only for certain sports that I understand a lot about. And there are even fewer teams and championships, so it’s good if I can make 4-5 bets a week, but even beyond that I limit the amount of bets, and if I lose several times in a row, I may stop playing for several weeks. This allows you to put your thoughts in order and calmly accept losses.

Gambling 7 days a week requires limitations. Gambling should be limited at any strategy utilized. A player can decide to gamble every day for a month and go for a 3 months break. During his gambling hours people could misunderstand him and think he does it and nothing happens to him. Hence, such people will try doing it with no limitations, as they think it requires no such thing. They'll be the ones to suffer problem gambling. Because they gamble blindly.

Showing their inexperienced moves and building up more mistakes. The problem isn't the duration a player gambles. It's about his break patterns. Doing it with no few months break can be too stressful that the brain would be weak to think better, due to lack of rest. Gambling is a psycho thing, and the player's brain is meant to be secured and protected against any type of addiction. A player that goes for vacation still has his self control in place. Hence, can't get compulsive with chasing losses.
485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 02, 2024, 08:26:14 PM
Once you become addicted to gambling it is very difficult to get out of it. Gambling addicts are so crazy that anything good they think is bad they will only run towards gambling. When gambling can't keep itself away from the urge it is considered a mental disorder. At this stage even if a person loses everything for gambling he cannot give up gambling addiction. And when this addiction reaches extremes it wreaks havoc in people's lives.
Addiction is a very difficult thing to comprehend for those that have never experimented, as the addicted takes actions that go against their own interests, but their mind is so warped and their priorities so out of place they cannot understand their lives without gambling anymore, which makes them to sacrifice everything for it, a huge mistake as one day they will realize what they have done, and they may try to get their life back on track and they may find themselves alone without anyone willing to help them out.

yes, you are right
when someone is addicted it's not as simple as thinking "oh just stop it"
sometimes the person really wants to stop a habit but depending on the level it is on their body and minds they simply can't
it's stronger than them
it must be fight slowly or all at once...

human behavior is something crazy sometimes.

The bigger mistake is a family that leaves their addicted ward alone to suffer because of his countervailing attitudes. Such thoughts affects more the addicted player in a way that doesn't seem right. It's right for people to focus more in reviving the addicted players. And let them realize they are not heading to the right lifestyle for them. However, correcting an addicted brain is quite very hard, and so tiring that the addict's family at some point would want to let go of him. I don't buy such an idea in cases that has to do with mental illness. As I read above they're not performing those behaviors at their own will. It's just a quick reminder that addicts actually needs help, regardless of their behavior. If left alone, he'd cause more disturbing problem for the family.

The earlier an addicted player is attended to, the healing process begins. Hence whatever treatment method in form of kindness that is utilized will be effective. Engaging in arguments with the addicts only makes them sad and through anger can do something wrong in their process of proving to his family that gambling will surely get him rich. They could sell or steal meaningful treasures from their home and wager in the casino. Actually, due to the stigma an addict feels people have on him, he'd do anything possible to win big, just to remove the stigma. So, those stigmas, hatred and argument placed on addicts is not the right thing doing. It worsens the struggle to save the person.
486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: May 02, 2024, 08:11:42 PM
This is extremely normal for people participating in gambling in public places. In the post, you did not mention where the area you are talking about in the story is? Is it legal to gamble there? And usually, according to my personal knowledge, most countries do not allow people to gamble for money in public places.

Besides, maybe their family and acquaintances are near the area where they gamble, so they don't want their acquaintances to know that they are gambling with large amounts of money. We cannot know whether any of them are taking money from their family's expenses to participate in gambling, so I think that is also the reason for them to hide their gambling.

In short, concealing gambling has many causes, but most of it is related to legal, social, financial and psychological issues of the player.

Besides as long as a person is gambling responsibly, no one else has any business knowing if that person gambles or not, an odd notion these days taking into account that many people share almost anything about their lives in social media or to anyone that is willing to listen, which is why anyone that keeps some sort of secret is viewed as suspicious, but at the end if a person does not want to share those experiences, they are within their rights to refuse.

I think so, people are more concerned recently about everyone's lifestyle how they gamble and where they gamble. However, it's not a bad notion. Concealing a habit or living an isolated lifestyle is not always good. People need to be aware of some things. At least when issues arises they'll be people to testify about the player's lifestyle. Hence, it's crucial for gamblers to select few trusted people and let them know about their gambling habit or lifestyle. But in this context on the Op the players already are enough acquittance to one another.

No way, all of them can't get addicted same time. If they're educated on responsible gambling strategies, information on ways to avoid addiction can be circulated while they gamble in isolation. I think that such gamblers who engage in a game with friends don't need to share further information about their gambling habit with family members. His friends will easily get the message to his family if any issue arises. It's only advisable for a solo gambler to discuss his gambling habit with friends.
487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: May 02, 2024, 05:49:28 PM


What is most wrong and painful is the time and physical strength lost by the gambler. He could suffer a lot by losing brain power. Which means he would lose self control, and face more accumulated loses in the gambling session. Addicts don't regard wins, in my view, as serious as non addicts do, because when an addict wins he would focus on playing all his profits away. They'll hardly take profits as a result of a reduced brain power. The game is now participated against their will. The obligation available to them is gambling. That's why such people need consistent help.

At the same time, I believe that there is nothing more problematic for treatment than a drug addict and a ludomaniac in one person.  The fact is that psychiatry believes that their treatment should be according to the same program, but it should be two completely different approaches. And then it will be an effective and correct treatment. Because drug addiction is a disease of the body - it is a chemical reaction from which a person needs to be weaned. And ludomania is a disease of money perception, a complete depreciation of fiat.

Yes both sicknesses have similar effect to the brain. And requires similar method of treatment. Due to the way it affects the brain of the player to think of things only related to their addiction. Ways to fund or maintain it. However when a player is struggling with both illnesses then it's quite a huge loss for the player. As he could have a hard time tracing his ways back. Such people need a therapists to help handle their mental illness. Although they'll have time to spend with family at the initial stage of healing before approaching the therapist. It's right to first get the person occupied with the thought of getting help or visiting a therapist.

Because if taken immediately to a therapist for a healing program it's crucial to note that the person will miss most of his therapy sessions. Thereby, delaying the healing process of the gambler. I think unprepared gamblers should be watchful of such problems before engaging into the hobby. When the hobby is not gotten right it could result to a bigger trouble like facing addiction in the future. Although, adding drug intake to reduce the anxiety gambling losses could cause will affect the player severely and will land him into a deeper trouble. Hence, drug addiction and gambling addiction is not meant to be taken slightly. Players are to avoid doing both drugs and gambling. The load will be much on the player, such that he'll one way get addicted.
488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another health benefit of online gambling on: May 02, 2024, 05:35:17 PM
In my opinion going to a physical casino has its advantages as well as disadvantages. It's okay to be entertained but there is no real guarantee of winning in gambling. If the person loses if he is sick it will be worse for his health. He will never recover physically if he worries too much after losing. In order to maintain his health he should keep himself occupied with activities other than gambling that will help him recover quickly.
considering his compromised health condition, it is better to avoid gambling first until he recovers.
However, if the person is a gambling addict, and cannot give up his gambling activities. It would be better in my opinion to keep gambling online rather than going to a physical casino.
At least by continuing to let him gamble can make him feel happy and increase his immunity. but sticks to a smaller budget allocation than usual when visiting the casino, and he also doesn't mind losing some of his money. rather than forcing him to immediately leave and stay away from gambling which makes his mind confused and that can also affect his health.

It's true that a gambler cannot quit gambling immediately, but when he's sick it's quite risky for a player to still engage in gambling. I agree that the gambler can be made happy if allowed to wager few amounts and enjoy his session. This is valid if the player is ready to be under watch. Similarly, a sick person shouldn't be left on his own to do some things, especially financial transactions like gambling. Where he could be taken off guard and lose out lots of money enough to affect his health.

The situation as pointed by Op explains the cruciality of online gambling. How it's capable of reducing the way players with transmittable diseases go to the casino. It's all for the good of everyone. Both the gambler and his friends in the casino. Places fully crowded by people is meant to be avoided, as nobody knows who is actually healthy in that premises. I don't see any need of visiting a crowded gambling shop  enough to affect the ventilation of the room, when an online casino is available on his device.
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: May 02, 2024, 05:23:11 PM
There are so many things that causes loss in gambling,and one of those things is greed.Peoole who are greedy and love to satisfy their curiosity while gambling are liable to lose most atimes because when you are anxiously wishing to win more,it will make you gamble more,and this is where your loses will come.
Addicted gamblers knows that if you have won once,it is good to give a break,but when you continue gambling without thinking that money will be wasted in the process of gambling more,it will definitely cause loses.
Yes, greed makes you fall deeper into your finances, when they have won they will definitely continue to play as if luck is on their side, this is a big mistake. Do they want to catch up on their previous losses, so they continue playing. Yes, you should not expect too much to get big money there. Basically, not a single gambler got rich from there.

Gamblers rarely get to hear such things as no gambler has gotten rich through the game. What is mainly circulating the society is how big the jackpot is and how it's able to change a player's financial lifestyle to the best. The truth is on decline in gambling. The players get too emotionally attached with the funds gambling has to offer. Instead of focusing on the proper means of getting things right. Most players struggle each day with losses. They never go a day satisfied with their gambling session. Sometimes gamblers are too greedy that they'll use all possible means of winning a game and still lose out. Could remember a player who printed six different slips on a game and lost it all. Gamblers have no proven means of tricking the house. Instead the house is far ahead of the players. Hence players are required to pay more attention in reducing how they lose in the game. As it may affect them psychologically and lead them to addiction.
490  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: May 02, 2024, 05:13:42 PM
I think gambling should know the time, at least know when to gamble and when to stop gambling because it is important to be able to control yourself from gambling addiction and also not get used to it which will later create bad habits that can lead to gambling addiction, as a suggestion it is not required gambling every day because it will not make someone earn a lot of money, let alone get pleasure, there is still a lot of time that can be filled with good things, for example pursuing a hobby to get pleasure or spending time with family or working to earn money, gambling should be played in your free time and Relax. unless you are unemployed.

It is true, when bad habits are created things start to go very badly, I think that when there are bad habits everything is bad because there is no control over what we seek to improve in the game, the habit is something that must be seen. frequently and if it is every day you have to have a lot of money and resources that you can lose and that is what I don't like, for that it is better to play rarely but play with quality and win something when you have to win and when you have to lose Well Accept it and don't give in any more, because the most likely thing is that the money will be lost and therefore the person will have and run more risks. I don't recommend spending a lot of money.


Gambling is a difficult game for most players to understand. It's not a matter of gambling everyday or not, the whole thing relies on how prepared the player is regarding his gambling ethics. When people play each day it's certain other people would think they're making a huge mistake or losing out a lot of money. But it depends on how the player deals with his gambling habit. Not saying that daily gambling is recommended, but some players already do it and don't fall into problem.

Also, they're not getting any better difference from other players who don't play everyday. It's wrong to think that playing games everyday is the right form of earning big. The whole money equally goes back to the house. And renders the player lesser funds with more pains. Hence, if a player has carefully taken the responsibility to face what is to happen regarding his daily gambling habit, I don't think he'd get himself so glued to the game without staying careful of his losses.

Nice one mate and from everything written here, it seems you’re a Nigerian and this is a great step for you and wining that amount is a great one and I just want to say a big congratulations to you, not just for the winning, but also been able to make judicious use of the winning and I understand that a lot of persons would be telling you to have invested in bitcoin than getting these properties but sincerely, you’ve done well for yourself and your decision to buying these things isn’t a bad one since you didn’t  have them before.
I have seen alot of gamblers do all sort of rubbish with the supposed amount of money won and almost all of them feel the urge to gamble it more to see if there can secure a bigger win but at the long run they all end up with nothing so the act of using the amount won for something tangible and seeable is kind of a really great idea because whenever you glance at it, you derive joy from the winning.

Instead of losing all the funds back to the house, it's better to purchase an item that wouldn't perish anytime soon. Gamblers who are reckless with their winnings don't actually agree with safeguarding their wins. What seems important to them is gambling more, hence losing more. On the contrary players have unique methods of handling their wins. It could be wrong for a player to keep on waiting for more wins while wagering their profits. Provided the gambler withdrew the funds it's not important what he does with the money.

Whether he purchased Bitcoin or gadgets. But, Op, is quite cool with his decisions. Because purchasing bitcoin with the money will only tempt the person to deposit their cryptocurrency into the casino and wager more money. The TV won't tempt the player to sell and make money to gamble. That's why purchasing such items like TV, console, and any other form of hardware is better. Especially for a player who controls their gambling impulse of wagering .
492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: May 01, 2024, 08:07:10 PM
I think it depends on the person themselves whether they will care or not about whatever is said by others regarding themselves being involved in gambling, if for example they are one of those people who are easily provoked or easily disturbed by anything, especially criticism from some people who come maybe yes, obviously they will feel disturbed and this is sometimes we are often advised to hide our gambling activities.

But in my opinion there is actually no need to care too much about what other people say regarding whatever you do, just let them comment on anything because anyway you gamble using your own money which means you don't harm anyone, but on the other hand I think you can only ignore some criticism that is not important or means useless, so in any case it is always recommended to look at or respond to everything rationally because only in this way can you distinguish whether other people's criticism is useful for your good or is something that is not important. 


Gambling is not wrong, that means it's useless to worry about what people say regarding my gambling habit. It's a matter of personal perspectives from non gamblers who see gambling as something wrong.

493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: May 01, 2024, 05:23:43 AM
Some players get more addicted into the game when suffering alone. Think of some family men who suffer addiction after maybe a divorce. In some cases the person may not have engaged into gambling. But for the fact he's lonely and alone, he'd begin to find a means of handling boredom by engaging into gambling. It's also risky to do that, because, people who find themselves doing that are quite not informed about the consequences of gambling compulsively. Since gambling is like a companion to them, they'll spend most of their time playing the game. Risking more money and getting emotionally attached to the game.

Which consumes more time and could make a person broke. Loneliness is another strong factor that leads to addiction faster than anything else. Hence, if a player is sure that he is not capable of handling his emotions, playing games all alone isn't a better strategy. Getting a helping hand would be difficult for such a player. Due to his challenges and how compulsive gambling could maneuver his thoughts and emotions. But, in a situation where the player have close friends around, and he opens up to them, getting help wouldn't be a problem. I think every gambler should know himself, capabilities and abilities, before moving further to the weary aspect of gambling.
When they become addicted to gambling, they will not think about anything else other than gambling. They can lose their family because they no longer pay attention to their family.
They can also become more emotional when they lose and this can hurt their family members. They can commit violence against their family members as a result of their losses in gambling and that will not be good for everyone.
That's why we have to be able to control ourselves when gambling so that we don't experience the effects of gambling like them. By always trying to control ourselves while gambling, we will not experience any problems and we can also enjoy our free time well.

Admittedly, a reckless gambler with uncontrollable emotions will immediately get addicted. And his behavior while in such trouble will be worse than anyone else. Due to the fact that their self control has been deduced to nothing. You could imagine a player that'll get a mood swing for losing in games and no longer pay attention to basic family tasks to better his home. Most often such players become the problem of their family.

Landing them into huge troubles and affecting the harmony they once shared. Bringing back such person to order will be strenuous because of the person's lack of emotional control. Gambling probably is not the only way people lose their control. If a player lost his emotional control long before gambling, he would face more trouble in the game. Because gambling will help increase the trouble, making the person less attentive to his losses. Hence, accumulating more dispute for the gambler and his family.
494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Your Country Who Gamble More? Young Ones or Elderly Ones on: May 01, 2024, 04:58:14 AM
Normally I think young people crave for gambling more because young people are more interesting in games and they have this confidence that it is easy to always win in gambling. One thing I noticed about gambling despite it isvery addictive as people gets advanced in their age their urge for playing gambling reduce this may be as a result of responsibility and realising that playing gambling more is not a guarantee to win.

From what I have seen in life , I believe young people are more into gambling to the elderly people.  Elderly gets retired of many lifestyle as they are getting advance in life.

Yeah and old people are not meant to engage in things that'll get them too worried. Since they've retired, gambling with their money is not good for their health. Gambling problem could lead an old person to severe illness. Old people are occupied with fatigue and barely have strength to do things like the young people. It's certain that gambling consist of more young people compared to the elderly people. Lots of reasons why young people play games is for the fun and money. Such things may not interest the elderly people anymore.

Only few old people who may have gotten addicted at an early stage of gambling would spend most of their time repeating similar lifestyle as aged people. But a player who didn't get addicted to gambling at a young age, can avoid it when old. Because they've understood how gambling operates, and that it could exhaust their funds. Other than that since they're not familiar with the internet gaming, going to the casino will be a hassle due to fatigue and tiredness. Few known natural factors reduced the activities of elderly people in the casino. Online casino is an advantage for young people who spend most of their time online.

Thing is, it shouldnt just be about chasing a win. The rush, the strategy, understanding the whole game... thats where the real fun is. We need to teach people how to gamble smart, how to control it. Not just focusing on winning, but enjoying the whole experience. That kind of shift makes for a healthier mindset. Money becomes a bonus, not the whole reason you're there.

Doesnt this make sense? Making gambling responsible means changing the way we think about it. Focusing on knowledge, on enjoying the process... that keeps people in a good place.

It's interesting to know that gamblers must also consult other players in times of trouble. Everyone has a first time and it's been happening for a long time with no kind of corrections. Chasing lose is not simply the first thing a gambler feels in his journey as a gambler. Most players don't open up or ask other players to assist in providing ways that'll help reduce their frequent problems. To learn about changing the ways one think of gambling. It's important to have a guide; book or a gambler. Nobody is capable to learn on his own.

It's all a thing of reaching out to find which is the best in becoming a responsible gambler. Players need to practice what they've learnt. And advance to a stage where their thoughts on gambling would change. Hence, enjoying the good benefits of gambling by avoiding addiction. Many players are busy with their own gaming sessions that they forget about advancing in their gambling knowledge. That's why it seems like gamblers don't seek for help. However, players are likely to make friends, online or offline, that'll help change their perspectives of gambling.

Yes, usually people who cannot accept losses or losses are people who are childish and are usually beginners who are a little surprised by gambling because they thought they could make some money through gambling but in fact they couldn't get it and ended up losing. He blamed other people for introducing gambling to him and causing losses.

It's unimaginable for gamblers who have spent years in the niche to blame other people for their problem. That's a height of lesser experience in the game. Such things seem like a disadvantage in telling people about gambling. They can get problems and link it back to you as the cause. It sounds weird to hear an adult blame others for gambling compulsively. Pointing accusing fingers on other people who are not affiliated to the problem, makes no sense.

Was thinking addiction is mainly driving people to play compulsive. Not sure all addicts blame people for their problem. I think it has to do with the lifestyle of the player. He could be the type that doesn't take responsibility for his actions. Gamblers to bypass being blamed at, need to be sure of the people they discuss gambling with. Each individual have unique behavior. Some could get addicted and still comply to advice and change at a time. Others can remain that way causing trouble in the society.

Indeed, for those who are not rich but the goal is to have fun, of course they also want victory to be obtained because that's what they want, it's quite strange if there are people who gamble but don't want victory to happen with the gambling that is done. It's true that even though they have enough money, they certainly want a lot from what they have, including money, after all, even though they are rich people, it doesn't mean they don't need money, their expenses and income must be greater than their income, that's what drives them to gamble and want to get a big win at gambling, especially for those who have unstable finances.
Indeed, with them having money, it does not mean that it can prevent them from being addicted to gambling, of course the opportunity to become addicted to gambling is there, especially if they themselves cannot control themselves properly. The main thing is that they do gambling because they really want to win because that's what all gamblers want.

It's right to know that most rich gamblers have a bigger expenses on their end, which makes them to go for gambling. However, most people are not organized enough to handle the disputes gambling could cause to a rich person. Addiction is a gambling obstacle for everyone who don't look into how they gamble, both rich and poor. It's certainly truth that some low income players engage in gambling for the funds. Yet, the goal for gambling shouldn't be anything like that, it's more stressful for a player to only focus on making money. If rich players can take loan for gambling, that means gambling behavior is similar for all gamblers. Both the rich and poor also take loans for gambling.

Looking into gambling as a place to earn is not the right thought. Players need money to gamble not just time. A person with little funds on him would focus on other reliable means of making a living. We all need to win, that's certain, a player must win. But not often. Gambling with the last card or on low income, puts lots of pressure on the player. He, may lose them all, what next would he do other than taking loans. Those who gamble because they have insufficient funds are risking their financial status. The rich have no such reason because they've got enough money to wager. But a person who is not sure of his moves after losing all that money in gambling will have himself to blame. The stress, discomfort, and anxiety that comes with losing all we've got in gambling will fall on the player.

A relatively rich gambler does not get as much advantage for gambling as a poor gambler. A rich gambler doesn't need to worry too much after placing a bet because if he loses, it won't cost him much to arrange that money. But the opposite is true for poor gamblers. A poor gambler cannot take as much risk because he does not have enough money. Therefore, poor gamblers have fewer opportunities than rich gamblers. If a poor gambler gambles like a rich gambler, they cannot survive a moment of gambling. Of course people at these two levels have to have two types of strategies otherwise the poor gamblers won't be able to make much progress.
Yes, what you say is a difference between rich gamblers and poor gamblers, but in gambling rich gamblers and poor gamblers are basically at the same level in terms of luck because big or small winnings in gambling do not look at whether they are rich or poor but only their luck. will never know.
If you look at the risk that will occur, it depends on how brave the rich gambler or poor gambler is in betting money. If you bet a large amount, the risk is definitely high, but if you bet a small amount, the risk will likely be small too.


Impressively gambling from observations explains it self, but lots of players don't pay attention to details. Most often gamblers are meant to pursue more understanding of the game than money. Risk is a challenging factor in gambling. And the rich players take risks randomly, every rich gambler, indeed, is not a high roller. Some rich people wager few cents whenever they're gambling. Looking into details you'd notice that only few rich players wager huge amount of money on a game. That's why it's a breaking news when celebrities like Drake wager few million dollars on a game.

Hence, it's interchangeable, to determine who takes more risk would be hard. But when two gamblers, rich and poor, focus on wagering big as their definition of risk in gambling. The rich will be considered as a risky player more than the low income earner. Because it's judged by who has the most money. I think risk is something with severe punishment. Risk can be gambling on places where gambling is restricted. Like around your boss, could be seen as taking the risk of losing a job. In multiple factors the answers would vary. A poor gambler will only play like the rich if he's got the jackpot. Gamblers can't wager more than their source.

That’s right, there’s nothing to hide. This is exactly my point too. It’s possible that OP prefers solitude due to introversion which is perfectly fine. However, even then dishonesty isnt justified. The person close to them likely knows who they married and can respect personal boundaries while still providing space for individual activities. Indeed, sharing both positive and negative experiences can foster a supportive environment potentially helping to regulate compulsive gambling behaviors.

Yes the balancing is important, good you indicated that. Non gamblers should also know about the good aspects of gambling, how it could be beneficial to health, critical thinking, money and time management. Such conversation can be intriguing to a non gamblers and could result to a slight debate, between the gambler and the non gambler, on the doubts the non gambler will have upon hearing about the advantages of gambling. A lot of them know of the disadvantages of gambling, how it ruins people's finance and life. Developing their horizons of the health aspects of gambling, not to convince them into gambling, will increase the non gambler's interest on gambling discussions.

And as well could change their initial wrong thoughts on gambling to something better. Hence, gambling conversation shouldn't include a lie of any type. Sharing the reality of gambling with a spouse strengthens the bond between both friends and boost their understanding towards the need of helping a gambling addict. Non gamblers, a lot, have the initiative of blaming addicts that's why they hesitate on helping them when they mostly need it. Being aware of such needs and how it's an emotional problem, a non gambler would add extra efforts in changing or assisting a player in trouble to a better emotional condition. They'll also detect addiction easily, a form of addiction proof for any gambler.

It seems to me that overconfidence can be dangerous, especially for beginners. When you're just starting to play, it's easy to overestimate your abilities and take more risks than you need to. This can lead to serious losses and disappointment.

It is also important to remember about greed – it can also cause failures. When we strive for quick profits and do not know how to stop, we risk losing everything. That's why I think it's important to keep common sense and control your actions in the gambling world.
It is better to gradually learn the rules and strategies, take your time and do not trust only luck.
This is the only way to learn how to play responsibly and enjoy the process without putting yourself at unnecessary risk.

After all, the main thing in gambling is not only winning, but also the ability to control your emotions and make informed decisions.

What happens to those strategical players with some common sense and a truck load of greed? Gambling some times may not be defined by those instances. It works accordingly with the emotional intelligence of all players. A day could be so interesting that the player would think he's hit the lucky day, yet he's not sure of his end how the losing streak will follow suit. Money works with the brain,  in a way that no player will comfortably stop going for the money immediately he's won big. Those smiles from winning big still rolls the downward course of losing it all.

Overconfidence, affect players according to their performance in the previous session, hours, or minutes, including experts. That's why when people think of themselves as experienced gamblers, and perfect, they could be making a bigger mistake. I understand that experience helps limit these things. But it's certain that a gambler out of greed could boycott his own rules, regardless of his experience. They're some general mistakes that could occur in a gambling activity. Being able to retain a stable mood, not letting yourself get sidetracked by the funds, could be a better method to limit such mistakes from happening consistently.
