481  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: April 17, 2024, 11:23:26 PM
to be fair investing can't be done without chunk of money unused on your bank account, so the way is saving and then investing, but by doing saving only and not investing we must be ready to sacrifice some of our money to be eaten by inflation at first some people would try to spare their money of inflation through investment and they eventually find out that there are other investment option out there that are not just sparing from inflation but can also grow the money significantly then they change their position on that investment.

saving is not wrong either, considering that investment usually also have the risk that could potentially make our effort of making money turned into losing money instead, some people might not favour investment exactly because of that, they just don't want to risk their money in return of opportunity to grow it, but just be ready for the money to be rather stagnating in value consequentially.
Well, basically, both are very important. I can't even choose one because they are both really important. However, some people sometimes save without investing, and some people invest without saving. I think something like that can be done, but it's not optimal. However, if we only save, then in the future, after we lose our job or go bankrupt, saving can be a lifesaver, but when that savings runs out, then life may become difficult after that. Apart from that, if we only think about investing without saving, we could sell the assets we own when we need money in the future, because we don't really have savings. So, these two things need to be equally important.

True both are indeed very useful because it does lead to almost the same goal which is to minimize the possibility that is not wanted someday like saving which is made as a budget to minimize something that is not wanted unexpectedly which forces us to spend some money to overcome the problem, and also for investment problems of course the goal is to generate profits in the future that will be able to improve the financial situation of our lives. But as you said that people sometimes only do one of them and in my opinion more people only save without investing than investing without saving because not everyone knows about what investment is and how to invest, and also not everyone really believes in the benefits generated from investment so that makes them prefer to save.

On the other hand after reading your review I can conclude that these two things are indeed very important to support the cost of living in the future by running both simultaneously, namely saving and investing, but I think not everyone is able to do both at once because not everyone has a good income in his life so maybe they don't even do both things because of the income factor that is only enough to meet the needs of daily life.

Yes indeed, most gamblers who are aiming for fun they wanted to work on to prolong their gambling participations, they not aiming to go all in as the fun and excitement stops when the pick that they choose loss, unlike with strategy type of gambling where  you are aiming to anticipate what will be the next outcome and count that times or work on the advantages of any teams or players who can dominate the outcome of the game.

When there is a problem in the casino , many things can be done, when you lose your luck if you feel bad, what is the point of this ? win no matter what, because that's why we go to the Casino to win money, if you go to the casino just to have fun, I don't think you'll spend a lot of money on fun and there are other things that you can have a lot of fun for less money, the casino is fun. For the Millionaires , if they spend the money it will not affect them, but the smaller Players must take care of the money all the time and we must do things so that it works for us when we Play , but Suddenly go play in a Casino with all the money we have just to earn Double because that is something that Should not be done , unless the economic Possibilities of the people are Very high.


I agree with your statement regarding to those rich people who are just playing to earn some fun and to kill some boredome well they are capable of risking some money and allow that to let go after, while for those people who are not that rich it's needed to take care of your finances, like what you mentioned, it's more on winning and increasing your bankroll, though because of that adrenaline they are trying to go all in and find that luck to back them up.

But most of the time, they are just ending up losing their money as they keep pushing and keep repeating that same mistake.

Well I also agree with that, or I mean I agree that most likely the rich come and get involved with the purpose of just having fun when they are having a boring free time, the reason why they don't come with the purpose of making money? I think it is quite reasonable that the rich already have a good financial situation in their lives and they already have a powerful way in terms of making money so that it can make them rich, and this is the reason why I believe and indeed quite reasonable that most likely the rich come just to relieve boredom in the midst of the busy business they run.

On the contrary, it is more reasonable to say that the goal of earning in gambling is usually more often done by gamblers who are in a poor financial level, many of them hope to get a big win to improve finances in their lives, but yes, however it is the wrong mindset in gambling that ultimately leads them to many disasters such as experiencing large amounts of loss instead of earning.
483  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop paying money to learn trading when you can learn it yourself on: April 17, 2024, 10:26:27 PM
Well, to be honest, I agree with the title given by Op. If it's really possible to study on your own, There is even a faster learning process in trading here in cryptocurrency when an individual learner learns trading along and uses his or her own way to learn it.

Because I noticed that those who pay for training about trading just waste what they paid for because they don't actually absorb what they heard, and besides, there is no quick time for people who are interested in learning to understand it immediately. It really takes time, that's the truth.

Actually all traders can undergo their own learning but for basic steps I think it never hurts to find a mentor to direct them to the right and directed trading approach, because so far in some cases there are usually still quite a lot of traders who have an understanding that is skewed or out of the recommended path such as trading in the wrong way that will only harm themselves. and I understand that all these directions can be obtained through the internet but sometimes the lessons obtained are not directed or that means they get random learning and it is quite difficult to actually find information on an internet that gives them the first steps that will harm themselves, and I understand that all these directions can be obtained through the internet but sometimes the lessons are not directed or they get random learning and it is quite difficult to really find information on an internet that gives them the first steps that a beginner trader must first learn and go through.

Usually in some cases a beginner immediately jumps into trading without being based on a qualified understanding and knowledge of how to properly trade which in the end they are confused and experience losses that dominate over profits, so I think for the initial stage of introduction it doesn't matter if for example you want to learn from mentors by spending at least a little money to get the right direction on how to be a good trader and be on a harmless path and after that you can learn on your own when you already have a basic understanding.
484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. on: April 17, 2024, 09:37:12 PM

I got your story op and frankly I must say that your last illustration of getting other gamblers back to gambling isn’t were the problem lies but rather on the safety of the winner.
Have you thought of the dangers of sharing a success or winning story at the wrong place and at the wrong time?, there might be possibilities of the winner been robbed or harmed to claim his winnings and the rest of other challenges that might be associated as well.

Whatever the case might be, it is always advisable to be conscious of the environment at which we stay to share our success stories be it from gambling or any other place, as there have been several cases of people losing their lives as a result of jealousy and it’s likes.
Not only on gambling winnings but every other aspect of life, it is important to stay private with our incomes most especially when a tangible amount of money 💰 s involved because at some times you don't know the mind of the other person wether or not they are happy with you or will want to take the money from you at the end.


So you are very right when you say that privacy is of utmost importance concerns for anyone gambler and learn to be silent when in public transport avoid evil attractions.

In some cases usually people who hear stories about your winnings usually they will claim unilaterally about the rations that you have to give them from some of the winnings that you managed to get, if for example you are willing and willing to give it then maybe it won't be a problem but if for example you only tell and brag about the victory and absolutely do not want to share part of your victory with them then maybe bad things can happen, As you said, we don't know what's going on in other people's minds and they might be planning something bad in their minds like planning to take your money in an unexpected way.

Of course the solution is always better to keep your winnings a secret regardless of the amount, but if you want to share some of your winnings with them maybe it won't be a problem, but if you don't want to then it's definitely better to keep it a secret.
485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: April 17, 2024, 09:17:28 PM
It is absolutely true that the casino sends spam. I think they use a special system that changes their address and sends emails to players that constantly remind them of promotions. And even if you unsubscribe, it won't help. Their task is to remind themselves if a player becomes distracted from casino games. It's like a damn curse, because letters from casinos are always tempting and bright. They know how to interest someone who wants to forget about gambling for a while.


That is true,I used to play in many reputable casinos before and now because I have down scaled greatly the amount I play I also don't play in many casinos and the ones I have left keep sending me their promotions even after more than 2-3 years and they have them send automatically.I have unsubscribed from some of them yet I still receive rare emails of such bright and colorful promotions.I think though that the person who is determined to quit gambling is not impressed anymore by such promotions and gambling every day only increase our chances to lose,you simply can't be in a long term winning position by playing games with an house edge.

I think most gamblers experience the same thing, and of course that includes me as well which is probably not much different from what you're experiencing here where we get promotional messages that come to our email or to our smart phone cellular number, and it's definitely true that it can really disrupt a gambler's defenses when they're struggling to reduce their involvement in gambling or those who are struggling to quit.

This means that there are many scenarios of temptation or encouragement that can make us re-engage in gambling, because in terms of gambling, usually someone will have a desire to return to gambling and will also grow curiosity to gamble when they remember about gambling which means of course getting promotional messages from casinos via email or having a very active environment in gambling or accidentally hearing a victory that was achieved by another gambler, it can really disturb our mentality when we are trying to stop gambling, Therefore we must as much as possible completely clean something related to gambling, remove your email from your smart phone and replace it with a new email or stay away from your environment that is active with gambling, I think at least this can help, and on the other hand I agree with you that gambling every day will only increase the possibility of the number of losses and not increase the chances of winning.
486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: April 17, 2024, 08:40:21 PM

The idea of ​​giving up gambling after doubling the bet amount is very good but the idea of ​​gambling with the intention of doubling the money is not good at all. Gambling should always be done for fun but to take fun out of gambling if one is lucky enough to double his money in gambling a few times then he should quit gambling at that moment. when someone starts gambling with the sole intention of doubling his money, he must take gambling seriously. And anyone who gambles seriously to make money will never get good at gambling and will lose a lot of money in gambling.
As far as you have it to make profits from gambling, you will always end on the negative side, this is because most of you bets will be based on that emotions and greed, which is not what we should want from gambling based of that fact that no one can actually profits from gambling and we should take gambling as just for fun nothing else.
Most of the times some people bet or spin just for the potential amount in Winning and when there lose the becomes sad or indebted since they could have possibly gambled under duress, and on loan hoping to see magic money.

What we must understand from the very beginning of gambling is that we must understand that gambling is a business for casinos whose main goal is to make a profit from some gamblers who come with the wrong mindset and understanding that will lead them to many significant losses, which means that when a gambler comes with the intention and purpose of earning then it is clearly likely that they will treat gambling in a way or approach that tends to be excessive because of the great hope of winning based on greed.

Overall I believe and I am sure that most gamblers are in a situation where the number of losses is greater than the winnings, and I think this is a natural thing because as I said above that the purpose of establishing casinos is to make profits from gamblers who are too excessive because they are based on a wrong understanding of gambling. So this is why we are advised to put the perspective and mindset that gambling is nothing more than a place to entertain ourselves when we are in boring leisure time, nothing else because when you come with the goal of earning that tends to overdo gambling then it will only make you experience a greater amount of loss because the victory will only come by "chance" and depend on luck, And in the end what is worrying is as you said and I think there are enough examples that we can learn from what other gamblers have experienced who have experienced many problems such as debt, all of which are the impact of the intention and purpose of "multiplying" in gambling.
487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: April 17, 2024, 08:20:55 PM
Whoever you are, wherever you gamble and no matter how rich or poor your living situation is if you are involved in gambling then obviously the most important thing is to "risk the amount that you can afford or that you can be responsible for" especially for losing, absolutely no one should take a level of risk that is beyond your ability, no matter how rich you are, because in gambling all the wealth you have can be used up in an instant.

So I think it's rationally ridiculous to ask who should take more risk between a rich gambler and a poor gambler, of course the advice is to take the amount of risk that is commensurate, or according to your ability, or maybe even better is to take the amount of risk that is equivalent to the ability of a poor person if you are a rich person, then obviously the possibility of losing significant amounts of money will be minimized.
488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: April 17, 2024, 08:00:45 PM
We gamblers have made and will continue to make the same mistakes.
We hope for luck, and this is correct from the point of view of mathematics. This is explained by the fact that if you are unlucky (for example, you went all-in at poker with high odds, but it was not your day) then you will know that next time the probability of a favorable outcome will be higher. This is the concept of "mathematical distance" and therefore it is advisable to place small bets so that the statistics are as even as possible and the element of luck in games is ignored as much as possible.
Every gambler should know this.

What makes you think there's a better chance of a favorable outcome next time? In my opinion, this is one of the most common misconceptions in gambling. Each individual gambling session has nothing to do with subsequent gambling sessions. After a coin has fallen heads, the probability that the next time it will fall tails does not increase. In your example, the same thing happens. In my opinion, many gamblers first need to get rid of the misconceptions that lead to loss.

Well exactly I completely agree with your opinion buddy, in gambling there is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever to be able to end the session with a win, there is no accurate way or strategy that can bring you to victory, and also as you said and I completely agree that each gambling session has nothing to do with the next gambling session, for example when now you win with a large amount for example which makes you very happy but this incident cannot be used as a benchmark that in the next session or at a later time you will be able to get another win, of course in the end the results of gambling will always be different, or simply different times then different results too.

However, this is a fatal misconception that exists in the mindset of a gambler, one of the reasons seems to be that they are too hopeful about winning so they have high confidence that in the next session they will win again, even though this can never be known, there is no guarantee and no certainty because victory in gambling always comes by "chance".
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: April 17, 2024, 07:40:54 PM

If they were experts in the first place then there's no way that they would really be trying out to let someone do follow them or would really be trying out to give or make some service about for people to follow or having that subscription or not or even if its for free and boast up that it do came from an expert in gambling then you should really be having that doubts already.  Also, its not really that entertaining i should say if we do speak about
trying to make out some bet according into other peoples suggestion whether its an expert or some people you dont know publicly on which making out some selection out of their own picks is never been
that recommended. You would really be finding yourself that be entertained if you are someone who do make out some analysis into the picks that you are making.

It's an easy way to make money if it's for sure that they can accurately predict the possible outcome of the game, but there's no onewho can do that, I guess more on self-claimed and for those experienced gamblers who can make money on this venue, they are quitely enjoying and they are not going to share whatever strategy they've got knowing that the house or the system might interfere with how they analyze the potential results.

We don't have need those prediction if we are aiming to win, what we need is the knowledge to analyze games and that kind of nerve that can take when it's needed to take that big risk.

Honestly, I really can't just trust those who are called experts, and also I suspect that it seems likely that there are even quite a lot of previous victims who have lost large amounts of money when following the predictions of experts, and yes as you said that most likely they only claim or admit that they are experts which means that it is a "recognition" of themselves and does not mean being "recognized" by others. Yes, the logic is like what you said, my friend, that if for example they have a strategy that is quite accurate then surely they will prefer to use it themselves and will not share it with others.

I think there is no need to be too serious about looking for various ways to win, stick to the mindset and belief that only luck can bring you to victory, and it is better to focus and prioritize yourself on risk management such as strengthening boundaries and self-control because if you are lucky then you will also win and maybe with a large enough amount, and what we have to think about here is minimizing significant risks because in some cases someone can lose everything they have when they are unable to control and manage their emotions.
490  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is not a lifetime job. on: April 17, 2024, 07:21:26 PM
The right approach and the right mindset is to make trading a part-time job that is useful to supplement your income from the main job, and even if for example you manage to become a fairly professional trader by always being able to make a profit or when you are already in a situation where your profits are greater than losses then I think at that time you can think of a new plan, you can quit your main job but on the other hand you also have to build another place that can provide you with income such as maybe a business or other things that can provide a fairly certain profit.


You're absolutely right. Maintaining a main job while trading on the side is a practical approach.

Keeping your main job ensures a steady income, which safeguards your ability to meet basic needs without the pressure of needing constant wins from trading. It's a wise strategy to treat trading as a supplementary income source until, perhaps, your trading profits are consistently outpacing your losses.

Of course because as I said above that trading is a part-time job and not a job that can provide the main income, because the main income is something that can always give you a guarantee in a certain period of time that you will be able to earn money or earn, while trading has a level of risk that sometimes cannot be avoided completely and this is why I think the better decision and approach is to make trading a side profession to supplement your main income.

The downside of making trading a priority to earn or making it your only job is that there may be times when you need money for living expenses that cannot be tolerated while you are losing money in trading. As you said, the purpose of maintaining a main job is to ensure that our needs will still be met without having interruptions when you experience losses in trading, or simply even if you experience losses in trading but you still have a main job that will be able to provide you with income to make ends meet.
491  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to handle emotions when you lose during trading. on: April 16, 2024, 10:14:23 PM

1. Do not overtrade, always allocate time for relaxing and purifying the mind.


Excessive trading is not good for a trader's finances and health. Because when a trader trades excessively, they will sacrifice their rest time by monitoring the market continuously and seeing how the charts keep moving in front of their monitor. This is not recommended for traders, because good traders are those who can manage their time by knowing when to trade and when to rest. By managing trading time and rest time, a trader can maintain a healthy balance between trading and their personal health in the long term.

One of the reasons why a trader is always required and advised to have a plan and put limits on his trading activity is to limit excessive activity, because it is a sure thing that when you are too long in front of the monitor analyzing the market then over time you will lose focus in yourself which will make you make careless decisions. Limits in trading are to limit the time of running sessions and limit the amount of budget allocated and of course the benefit of these limits is to keep our brains and minds awake and avoid some careless decisions due to too long analyzing the market that can make us lose focus.

On the other hand as you said that good traders are those who can organize and manage their trading activities which means knowing and having the ability and planning about when to row and when to pull over. Trading involves money where in trading the possibility of risk will always lurk a trader, and the fear is that when a trader is too long in front of the monitor then there is a possibility that they will lose focus in themselves due to being too tired in analyzing the market which ultimately makes them make the wrong decision.
492  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What people some people don't know about trading on: April 16, 2024, 09:51:34 PM

I've come across many videos on social media by professional traders and obviously the impression they're giving is that trading is get rich quick money scheme, which is not true. They make it look so easy by feeding their audience lies that within a month they can actually gain mastery and earn up to $5k. Perhaps, the end goal could be to get the subscription fees from them. Newbies should not be deceived, trading is not ABC, it takes time, patience and hardwork to learn the ropes.
That’s the reason why majority of social media influencers cannot be trusted. They seem to act more greedy than selfless. Instead of opening our eyes into the reality of trading, they even feed us with wrong concepts and make us believe that trading can make us rich quickly, when in reality it’s the opposite, trading can quickly leave a mess and ruin all our funds if we enter trading without knowing. This is why we shouldn’t be trading and risking our funds if we don’t have sufficient knowledge and understanding on how trading works in the market.

That's right, and as we know that lately there are a lot of influencers who broadcast these promotions and besides that they also sometimes become one of the figures filling out an advertisement for several types of trading brokers by saying things that at first glance look and sound very tempting and of course as a result many people are interested in getting involved in the world of trading with high hopes of getting a lot of benefits to change financially in life, when in fact when you have entered a market then that's where you will start to get confused especially in response to the many losses that make your money disappear significantly.

However it is a correct and realistic statement that trading is not an intermediary for getting rich quickly, in any case success does not come by itself but success must be picked up or pursued with dedication or sacrifice and unusual hard work and this is the reason why not everyone can be successful in any field including trading, so I hope you or whoever it is not easily attracted by everything that looks tantalizing that comes in a short way, of course the solution is always to use common sense and rational point of view so as not to regret it in the end.
493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has this ever happened to you as a gambler? on: April 16, 2024, 09:28:14 PM
Generally we don't like to be seen as a loser, we just want to get back what we lose and in gambling it's not really possible in that way so one more lose then we lose entirely. They are ignoring the basics of betting which shows the are ready to do anything just to achieve the results which can be due to greediness or addiction according to the situations.

Actually the main mistake with gamblers is that they don't accept their loss and want to chase it but they forget that gambling is not a field where they will use their knowledge to get their dreams victory.

There is nothing required for gambling to get the reward but it is reality that if your luck shines then you win and if your luck does not co-operate with you then you lose in gambling. A person who gambles for the first time with thoughts that he will not be addicted towards gambling also becomes addicted to trying again and again to recover the sum that he has lost previously.

That's right, the main ailment of most gamblers is the inability to accept the fact of losing which eventually leads to many impulsive decisions such as continuing gambling with the intention and purpose of recovering something that has been lost. And I can already conclude that they are irresponsible gamblers or maybe I will also call them losers who only want to win but are not ready to lose. However, gambling is always about winning and losing, only those two and you will always end the session with one of the two possibilities between winning or losing but most gamblers experience losing more often than winning which is the reason because the percentage of winning is much smaller than losing.

The truth is not to be too ambitious in terms of dealing with winning and there is no need to put too high expectations on winning because it will only make you experience significant disappointment when it turns out that the session ends in defeat, after all, if for example you are lucky enough then you will also be able to get a win like other gamblers get, so it is better to focus on being able to accept the fact of losing rather than putting excessive expectations on winning which in the end will only make you even more disappointed.
494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: April 16, 2024, 09:00:05 PM

Don't use up to 10% because for me that's quite high already. 1%-5% is fine but when you go more than that then that's sort of alarming honestly.

But if you can take the loss with that amount that you're going to do with your salary then there's no problem at all and all you have to do is be good at managing not just your budget but also your emotion.

Yeah because it's not only about the money but also the mental capital that would require you to risk such amount of money. You don't want to lose all the money that you've just worked hard don't you? Which means that you should be only betting the amount of money that only seems insignificant for you. That you won't stress about it even when you lose. Because regardless if your new or a professional, you are going to lose in this game. So if you aren't prepared for that, you may lose your sanity. Increasing your risk doesn't only equate increasing your profits, it also increase the amount of stress you are going to carry.

Honestly, I am not sure that there is a gambler who is really able to accept a large amount of defeat, and we should be able to find out about what their intention is actually gambling from the amount of budget they allocate, if for example they allocate an amount that tends to be large or even close to 80% of the total amount of their income per month from their main job then I think I can conclude that their intention and purpose of gambling is to multiply the money they bring in with the hope of getting a big win.

With the goal of multiplying the money they bring with them then I think it is obvious that if they end up losing then they will not have the ability to accept the fact of losing, I am sure that they will be emotional and unable to calm their emotions which in turn the situation encourages them to do some out of control actions such as chasing the winnings to restore something that has been lost which will actually only lead them to a lot of stress, In the end, as you said, it is best to gamble by putting the amount of budget that we can afford especially for losing, that approach is useful to minimize emotions and out of control actions that lead you to a lot of impulsive decisions.
495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: April 16, 2024, 08:41:30 PM

Family relationships will be more harmonious when everything runs with full openness, in any case between the two parties, between you and your husband, and of course keeping things a secret from your partner is something that is not recommended because after all, they are our life partners who will always be accompany us until death do us part, and in addition I am sure that if you hide something from your partner then one day this will only trigger problems between you and your partner which, as you mentioned above, most likely your partner will not trust you again.

Even though basically, maybe you are a typical responsible gambler who can manage and control your gambling activities well and safely, but still the problem is keeping something secret from your partner, which can reduce the level of trust and possibly disrupt harmonious relationships in your relationship. family. So don't think that if you are a responsible gambler then you don't tell your husband, because maybe your husband has a different point of view towards gambling, maybe he will assume that even though you can maintain your involvement in gambling well, it's still a thing. The risk of losing money is a definite thing, and in fact this will only result in a number of unnecessary losses, however there are still quite a lot of other entertainments that you can do without any possible risk of loss.
Some are saying that each one of us does have a secret that even our husband or wives doesnt know about, if this one pertains into those things that happened before marriage or on the time that you created your own family then i dont see any issues with it but its true that nothing beats out on living in a family on which you arent that hiding on something. Just like on what been mentioned that having that kind of openess would really be bringing out that kind of happiness on which we know that telling everything nothing but the truth would be always that something which crucial on any relationship in between.

We do know on how important it is when it comes to trust and really that tell everything you do and everything you do have in mind. This is where you would really be able to see and say that your partner does really give out that kind of importance and respect towards their partners on which this is something commendable and recommendable of course.

Yes but the main problem here is that they have a habit that involves the use of money, no matter if for example you are a responsible gambler even still in the end the possibility of losing money is a sure thing, and simply put if for example you are not involved in gambling then there will be no amount of money lost even if the amount is not large, so even if the habit you have before you get married still when you get married then you should tell your partner about you having this habit.

As we know that when we have entered the household phase, the responsibility will be even greater because usually there will be a lot of money allocated to meet many needs where it is better for us to use the money to meet family needs than to gamble. Actually this will not be a problem if for example you have other habits that do not involve the risk of losing money even if for example you keep it a secret from your partner, but if for example the habit is gambling then in my opinion it is better to tell your partner, lest it causes problems in the end when you unconsciously turn into an impulsive gambler which is clear your partner will also scold you. What we have to look at here is "having a gambling habit" which involves the risk of losing money, it is this context that should be of concern.

To be honest, overall and by using a healthy mindset along with a rational way of thinking, I really don't trust experts when it comes to predictions, there is no reason I can trust them if we talk about betting activities, because it is clear what betting is. meaning that the result at the end of the session is always about the possibility of two things, namely the chance of winning or losing, winning is nothing more than a chance and losing is a certainty while on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty or guarantee whatsoever for anyone to be able to win in that session.

Logically, if for example those who are called experts can really win then why don't they do it themselves? why should you sell your predictions to other people by asking for payment? while on the other hand they have a lot of time to follow a lot of bets and then get a lot of wins with the accurate skills and strategies they have, of course with this alone I think we can get the answer that in gambling there is no such thing as an expert who can lead us to a sure win, I wouldn't believe that for example they could really give you a sure win, and maybe I would say that no matter how good your or the experts' skills are, it can only increase your chances of winning and not ensure or guarantee that you will be right. - really can win.

Those experts are only lying about the whole thing, as they, the experts, know it's impossible to always be accurate in predicting games. But, to make things better, I think the experts should focus more on guiding their users not to get addicted. By accepting that an expert exists who can always win his games, the naive players would think they can get to that stage someday. And for that, would gamble to reach such a level. Without minding what it could cause to their finances. Some experts online, claim to possess fixed games, selling them to gamblers, yet they don't win a dime. Even the fixed games, end up being fake. Gambling has no sure means of winning, including sports.

Despite how important looking the team would appear, they can lose out to a smaller team. Hence, gamblers should play using their predictions. It's more enjoyable than sharing profits with a so-called expert, who doesn't have much influence on the game. Anybody can become a self-made expert; he only needs to market himself to more gamblers and make money through them. The whole thing gets confusing when the gambler loses out after using an expert and still goes back to utilize the expert's prediction in the future. I think their customers, are mainly naive and don't calculate.

Yes if we go back to examine gambling as a whole, especially in terms of generating winnings where most of the winnings occur only because of luck then from here we can already conclude that most likely someone who is called an expert only "admits" that he is an expert in prediction but his recognition will not be "recognized" by people who have become their victims, meaning they do not have a 100% accurate strategy in terms of predicting but they have a smart strategy to deceive many people about their claims of expertise.

I think if we think using common sense and rational thinking then I think at first glance we should be able to conclude that no one can predict the outcome of gambling 100% accurately, I will believe it if you are basically someone who owns a casino or if you are the owner of the casino who really knows all the secret keys to winning gambling but if you are nothing more than an ordinary person and do not have any personal relationship with the casino then I think the idea of "experts" cannot be trusted.

And if we are talking about sports betting then yes of course I think it is still difficult to really predict accurately even if you have pretty good skills and knowledge, one of the reasons is because there are still many possibilities that can happen on the field unexpectedly such as the team you bet on having a red card that makes the opposing team superior in terms of the number of players which obviously there is a big possibility of the opposing team to win and the team you bet on losing, so of course the conclusion is that it is better to bet your own way because maybe you have better luck than the experts.

In my opinion, this game is a game of chance, without exception, all gambling is the same, in my opinion, winning is based on luck, although there is gambling that is based on skill, but in the end it still leads to luck.  Maybe it's different from sports betting but in my opinion it's still related to luck  because predicting uncertain things is the same as depending on luck.

gambling requires skill to play it, maybe you can use a strategy to win, but in my opinion the strategy used is not guaranteed to win,  even if they get the strategy from gamblers who are experts in predicting. I myself gamble on slots, but I know that gambling is a game of chance,  I don't use any strategy I just set certain limits so that I can control myself well.
Perhaps we should look from a different angle and start from the fact that almost all strategies do not work. Recently the thought came to me that we need to play and if we start losing, then just be prepared for losses, and not expect wins. In this way, we set ourselves up not to receive moral blows when there are no winnings. Almost always the player is focused on winning and this is not correct, because if it does not happen for a long time, the player becomes furious and begins to do all the actions that will lead him to an empty wallet in the end. I want to say that there is no need to set high expectations and then we will be more calm in the game.

Well true, I understand that all typical gamblers would never turn down a win including those responsible gamblers who come just for entertainment but on the other hand it is a fact that gambling is always about the chances of winning and the possibility of losing which means that winning is nothing more than a "possibility" and losing is a certainty, and yes I think you can draw a conclusion from this idea which means that we should be more prepared to accept the possibility of losing because it is a sure thing when luck is not on your side.

Overall winning always refers to luck while on the other hand one can never know when they are lucky and luck cannot come continuously which means there will be more losses in between than wins and this is the reason why we should focus more on preparing ourselves to accept the fact of losing, and one of the other benefits of having the ability to accept defeat is that you will not experience emotions that are too significant which is usually the emotion that makes gamblers deepen the amount of loss with the act of chasing victory to restore something that has been lost due to the inability to accept defeat, and another thing is of course not to put too much hope in winning because it will only make you feel more disappointed when you finally lose.

So the question now is: What could really put a gambler in such a situation, addiction, or greediness?
I think both situations put a gambler to do. Both are categorized, first, a person gets greedy he wants more and more money, sometimes he loses, and sometimes he wins he starts chasing the losing funds and wants to recover the losing funds, he moves to addiction when he can't live a movement to stay away from gambling. The same case with him he got an addiction in his mind he thought that maybe he would win this bet and without any investment, he could earn but the results were Changed and he went into debt and left his phone as a guarantee This is what we aim to protect the new gamblers from not being involved in any betting platform always prepare yourself and make sure your control in your mind.
Yea, you are right and I agree with you. A person who gambled and earned money from it at that time went smoothly and did not get any addiction but when he lost some funds he started chasing it day and night regardless of the time I did not understand this kind of person When they accepted a lot of profits then why there were obstacles accept the loss when it happens. Winning and losing is part of a game and I think this is move the meant of enjoyment but a lot of people ruined this movement. A new gambler should keep in mind that always accept your loss and never chase your loss for recovery, with time you can earn more than the lost fund. You can just focus on your mental health and your income both need to be controlled.

In fact, I think addiction will start when someone manages to get a win in one of the sessions they do, which is the reason is money is something that everyone always needs and wants and when they manage to get a lot of money just by gambling (without having to sweat a lot) then there will be a sense of addiction and they want to continue to get a win so that the mindset and expectations lead them to excessive gambling actions.

Usually the addiction starts from the first win where they feel very happy and excited about the win which in turn leads to excessive action, but on the other hand as Ana said that defeat is part of the game which means that the results at the end of the session will not always be about winning but defeat is a definite result that in the end when the results do not match expectations then usually they do not have the ability to accept the fact of defeat which makes them emotional and take actions that will only harm themselves more, namely chasing victory to restore something that has been lost, and simply put is that when someone has entered the addiction phase then they will always be addicted when they succeed in winning which makes them apply greed and they will be more curious when experiencing defeat.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.

It is true that they will not get pleasure from gambling in public so they choose not to do it.
Those who gamble in secret do not want to embarrass themselves which allows gambling activities in the environment to have a negative view.
Another possibility could still be a more positive answer as to why they did it in a place like that. The rest only they know.

In my opinion and from a fairly reasonable point of view about the reasons why someone prefers to hide their gambling activities from the public eye is quite simple which you have also said the right thing that one of the reasons they hide it is because they are afraid or worried that people in their environment will view them as someone who has a bad personality because they are involved in gambling, and obviously this negative viewpoint can cause other problems in their life and one of them may reduce the level of socialization between them and others around them.

There is a high probability that the people around them will stay away from them and also maybe by throwing some criticism for fear of being exposed to the bad effects of gambling by the gambler, and also obviously I think there is a high probability that other people will reduce their trust in the gambler and when people no longer have trust in you then most likely you will have difficulty in life when you need help from them in any case, and this is quite a reasonable reason why people prefer to hide their gambling activities.

Basically, I agree that trading is not a lifetime job, because trading has a lot of risks. I also suggest for people who want to try to focus on trading to have other income, whether from work or business. However, when you are successful in trading, don't forget to develop the business you have, or build a business to earn other income. I think that trading is not suitable as a job for life, but it can be an income that can encourage us to achieve financial freedom by using profits from trading to support the businesses we have which is suitable as a job for life

True, it is always recommended to have a main job when you are involved in trading, which when you have a main job and do not make trading your main income then you will not have problems in terms of making ends meet that cannot be tolerated because you have a definite income from the main job. And as we know that trading has risks where the worst thing and what is feared is that maybe you will experience problems in terms of making ends meet when making trading as the main income, the reason is because as I said above that basic needs can never be tolerated while trading will not always be able to give you profits because of the possible risks that can occur at any time.

The right approach and the right mindset is to make trading a part-time job that is useful to supplement your income from the main job, and even if for example you manage to become a fairly professional trader by always being able to make a profit or when you are already in a situation where your profits are greater than losses then I think at that time you can think of a new plan, you can quit your main job but on the other hand you also have to build another place that can provide you with income such as maybe a business or other things that can provide a fairly certain profit.
