501  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is trading good for beginners? on: April 05, 2024, 08:21:30 PM
Obviously, trading isn't for beginners. But how can the beginners trade if they're not going to try, right? And that's why if they're going to try it, they should be aware that it is not going to go accordingly to what they're thinking. And as usual, they should expect the least with their trading results because it's not the perfect thing the newbies can do. Most of you guys will fail and just as we when we've started to trade. That's fine, the learning experience is such a great gain and your mind is also upgrading because you're able to take more risk.

While there are techniques that give you an overview of trading without investing any money like paper trading. But it's important to understand that real experience comes when you jump in with real cash. So one can't learn trading without investing money and its also impossible to avoid loses at very beginning. The solution to this deadlock is start with small amount or something you can afford to lose. Don't jump in with huge capital. 

I understand that a demo account can be used as a place of learning for a trader who is still a beginner or those who are new to the world of trading, but still what must be understood is that a demo account will only be able to give you nothing more than an understanding of understanding how all the features provided work and also only give you an idea that that is where you trade, or simply put it is a demo account will only be able to give you learning related to how to use and how some of the features provided such as indicators or simply put again a demo account is a place for anyone to adapt to something new they see.

In the end, as you said, the real experience is when you dive into the world of trading using real money where you will feel different mentally and psychologically and all of that happens due to worries and tensions for fear of losing your money. This means that learning about the world of trading is not just knowing how to trade properly and not just having a strategy, but there is still something else that is no less important, namely mental and psychological readiness in terms of accepting the consequences of loss, which in some cases a trader is usually trapped in his own emotions which of course is very likely to affect their mental and psychological in terms of decision making. Another thing is yes as you said that the best advice is to have an approach that does not exceed our abilities, one of which is like in terms of allocating the amount of the budget, try the amount that we can be responsible for.

Videos like that are very likely to mislead many novice traders because novice traders with minimal experience think that it is the truth, especially by showing pictures so that they are more convincing.
It is impossible for traders to never experience losses and always be able to overcome the mistakes they make so that they still end up making a profit, maybe they have experienced but it's just occasionally but occasional experience cannot be an accurate reference that mistakes can always be changed and still provide profits, and I am never interested in videos like that because it will only make us think that trading is easy even though it is the opposite.

Overall, such actions will only be able to be done by traders who already have a high level of experience in the world of trading, which means that it is unlikely that this method can be thought of by novice traders, and yes I quite agree with your idea here that there is a possibility that this method will actually mislead beginners when they see the video. Trading is always about the possibility of profit and the possibility of loss and a loss is a loss, even if you can turn a loss into a recovery or even a profit but yes not all loss situations can be tricked that way.

Yes it is true that videos like this are very likely to make a beginner change his perspective and thoughts about trading, it is possible for them to think that "it doesn't matter if I lose because I can recover the situation into profit by doing the way I saw in the video", when in reality it is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand, meaning that such events will not be able to always be repeated, only occasionally and only when market movements are in your favor.

No matter how good you might appear to be, when it comes to hiding certain things from your parents and teachers, you can't be all careful all the time. Just one simple mistake and your hard secrets will be made public. 
 
We all try hard to hide our bad habits from our guidance, but they always discover them. We get punished and move on. That's just it. There were times when I was not bold enough to talk about gambling in front of my SR siblings during my middle school years, but right now I can even do it in front of them. What matters is that I'm in control.

As long as those who gamble at a very young age can be controlled, it certainly won't be a problem. but we all know how the psychology of teenagers is, as well as their finances.
Maybe at that time, we could play with small capital or even join forces with friends to bet. but the emotional condition of teenagers remains unstable. they will prioritize their ambitions and emotions continue to explode according to their wishes. and the impact will be bad if this desire is not achieved.
We all have bad secrets about gambling, but more of us start to realize it when we become experienced enough in this matter. time makes us aware.

Of course it would not be a problem if for example it can still be controlled, but the problem is that it is very unlikely for someone who is still underage to be able to control his mental and psychological well which as you say here that someone who is still underage they are still very unstable which means it is difficult for them to really control themselves in various situations.

In addition, there are so many things that look tempting in gambling that indirectly can sometimes make adults fooled and carried away in impulsive actions, well especially for someone who is still underage where most likely they will not be able to make careful considerations and also they are difficult to really be able to distinguish which one should do and which one should be avoided. And the most vulnerable is emotion, this is the main problem, which as we know that when you are trapped in emotions that dominate due to defeat, it is clearly very difficult for us to be truly rational in terms of making decisions which in the end, it is clear that they will stop more when all the money runs out, sometimes situations like this can also make changes in behavior in a worse direction for the personality of a teenager.

There is nothing funny in this because after all, this is what the people have to face where we have to do everything just to survive. When food prices soar due to inflation which is a problem that every country always avoids, and I understand how difficult the situation is and when we are in a situation like this then obviously try to be able to utilize whatever you have.

Like if for example you have a large enough land behind the house then you better plant something that can be consumed such as vegetables which indirectly obviously this action will be able to make you minimize the problem of excessive spending due to soaring food prices, but yes maybe precautions like this can only be done by people who have land that can be utilized. And for some other people who always force themselves to live luxuriously - luxurious then try to make this situation a lesson where it is better for us to set aside money to save from far - far away before a situation like this happens, and this applies to all individuals, basically prevention is much better than cure, while you have the opportunity then take advantage of it.
505  Economy / Economics / Re: Poor people need solution now on: April 05, 2024, 06:52:49 PM
That is very true. If one wants to be financially successful, often times the main solution is to build a business.

Some people even work jobs and then their end goal is to have a business and make profit from there. The reason why I think entrepreneurship is so attractive to a lot of people is because you are your own boss. All your profit is yours to keep and any creative decisions shall be made by you. I also want to establish myself as a successful entrepreneur someday.

Business gives you extra income and one who is doing a job when use his salary little by little to settle a business then in no time he will become financially stable and he will not think about spending and will not be in stress when he fulfil his family needs.

Other main thing is that people having Business has created the way of earning in advance for the age when he will not be interested in doing job or will not be able to do so because human cannot properly work in every age for his family and after some years he want retirement from work during which he can earn well from Business.

There is no such thing as a short time in terms of running a process, especially this is a business which requires an unusual struggle, the reason is because running a business is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand where there will always be tests that they will face on their journey, especially if they are someone who has just entered the business world which means they do not have qualified experience in terms of the business world which means clearly ignorance will create many delays in being able to achieve success.

Yes I understand and I think everyone already knows that by having a personal business then it will be able to help us more in terms of financial strength, but everything will look easy if we only talk about the success, while on the other hand the possibility of failure will always be involved and as we know that not a few people who ultimately fail in building their business, It could be due to lack of capital or giving up with all the difficulties they have to face which in the end makes them return to the workforce because they don't want and are unable to fight for their business, if for example building a business is as easy as turning the palm of your hand then many people have succeeded, but not everyone is strong in going through the process.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 05, 2024, 06:27:02 PM
Chelsea really deserved the win. Even though they were 3-2 behind Man United, they still had very high spirits, as if they were very confident that they could catch up. I think Man United are starting to lose their rhythm when Rashford and McTominay played. Neither of them seems to have made a significant contribution. Even Rashford also looks lazy to help Man United's defense.

I thought Man United would win, but they were so stupid 2 minutes 2 goals. It was so embarrassing, Chelsea was too easy to ruin Man United's mentality. Palmer's penalty goal left Man United unprepared and it was put to good use by Chelsea. After the penalty goal it seemed Man United hoped for a draw, but they fell short.

At first yes I was very sure that Manchester United would win the match and I'm sure everyone had thought and could conclude that the match would end with Manchester United's victory over Chelsea with a score of 3 -2.

On the other hand, fate said otherwise where Manchester United had to suffer a penalty which was certain that Cole Palmer's shot would definitely pay off, and sure enough the incident made the score even at 3 - 3, but it turned out that the surprising incident was not over which was clearly stupid that Manchester United had to concede again by Cole Palmer 1 minute after the penalty shot was executed which in the end made Chelsea superior, And yes after all this is a very painful and embarrassing result when the victory should be on the side of Ten Hag, and I'm sure there will be significant disappointment from the Red Devils fans, 2 minutes 2 goals haha yes it's true. Cheesy

Lervekusen vs Union Berlin

Yes today and soon we will witness the match of Leverkusen which is the strongest team in this season that will play away against Union Berlin. From the track record that we have seen during the season, especially for Leverkusen where they now have great potential to succeed in breaking the title dominance of Bayern Munich at the end of the season which means that in my opinion Union Berlin is an opponent who is far from strong if we compare it with Leverkusen.

Last season yes as we know that Union Berlin were able to finish in 4th place in the table which Leverkusen were below them, but now everything is different since the arrival of Xabi Alonso which I think we have to admit that he is a great coach who can turn a medium team like Leverkusen into a very extraordinary team now by being able to exceed the performance of Bayern Munich as the defending title holder. Union Berlin have a chance just because they will play at home, but overall I think we can already conclude that this is a fairly easy match for Leverkusen.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: April 05, 2024, 05:44:54 PM
If I'm honest, I'm not really ambitious when it comes to gambling, or what I mean is that I don't really put too much enthusiasm in running gambling sessions, because my motivation for getting involved in gambling is not about winning but gambling is just a place to fill my free time when I have boring time like on weekends and also when I don't have other activities that I can do, then at that time I usually decide to gamble just to fill the time by getting a little fun or entertainment.

But maybe for some other people gambling is a place that really excites them and maybe I can guess that their biggest motivation is to get a large amount of winnings which we can't lie that we all need money, but for me, I will not justify all means just to get money, The simple thing is that I will see first about whether the place has the certainty to really be able to earn without involving risk or not, while in gambling however risk can never be avoided, so this is what makes me prefer to make gambling as nothing more than a place to fill boring leisure time without the intention and purpose of earning.

Quote from: crwth
Well, that's what happens when you are losing. It's always going to be biased towards yourself and not how it would work. I'm pretty sure that if you have played different games that are like this, it would be common to experience this. Maybe just lay back and not go all in. Even if it's on the "sure or high-chance" of winning" still manage your risk so you won't get emotional.
But when you continue winning in your gambling, you will not have such mind set that the casino are the ones making you to win but when you are experiencing losses such mind set will occur but if you are a type of gamblers that has been playing gambling for a long time go understand that is not the fault of the casino.

Every gamblers want to remaining winning which will not be possible in the gambling system because, there will be a time you will lose and there will be a time you will win and that is what gamblers are experiencing some times in gambling center.

When a gambler manages to get a win let alone a winning streak then usually they will assume that they are different from other gamblers, it is very likely for him to think that the victory came because of his own prowess in betting and less likely to think that the victory was successfully obtained because they were in a good level of luck in his life, And this kind of mindset will obviously make them confused and feel strange when in the end they lose in the next session which most likely usually they are not able to accept defeat because they think that previously they also managed to win a lot of wins which in the end this kind of situation can trigger many out of control actions such as making more experiments sometimes by using large amounts of bets because they are curious about what is wrong that makes them lose.

When in fact the winning streak that they had previously managed to get is nothing more than just luck that came at the right time, while the name of luck will not always come according to what you want, everything always happens by chance. So the point is that we have to go back to the fundamental understanding of what gambling really is, which is that gambling will always be about winning and losing, which means that when you are now winning then it is possible that in the next session you lose, and do not assume that the victory you get is the result of your greatness, we must not forget that the aspect of luck plays a role in every betting result.

Reading about your topic made me realize that these things may do happen in real life, although we do not know for sure if these kinds of scenarios do happen or not. I'm not a sports enthusiast or UFC fan but I'm sure that the sports organizations have preventive measures such as regulations to ensure that these kinds of scenarios would not happen in their sports because it would ruin the organization's integrity and reputation as well as their player or fighters.
Yes, that's happen in real world but we don't knows for sure because that practices is hidden from public and not many people will knows. They are smart enough to hides their activity to makes the scenarios works for them without public knows so they can gets the benefits from the scenarios. We as a viewer only knows that the match is fair enough and not have that bad practice but the reality is we don't knows what happens to them. Some people gets the advantages of what they did and maybe the organizations doesn't knows about that or only some people inside the organizations knows about that practice. It will ruins the organizations reputations and integrity if the public knows the truth and the public will demo so the organizations can do prevention of that such practice.

True, we as spectators only know everything in general that is published and maybe we just know about which players have a high probability of winning the fight or match without the slightest thought that leads to the cheating scenario, but yes, however unexpected things like that are very possible or have the potential to actually happen but maybe I think such scenarios are quite rare because the problem is that it is impossible for a player or fighter who already has high flying hours and good popularity to sacrifice everything they have worked for just for money.

Although for example the public does not know about what really happened behind the scenes but still the defeat experienced by their favorite player will indirectly cause considerable disappointment and obviously this incident can make supporters put a bad point of view on players who pretend to lose just for money, which means that the player's popularity will at least definitely experience a decline and I'm sure most players don't want to sacrifice their popularity just for money alone.
511  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much gambling can change a person and how low his mind can go. on: April 04, 2024, 10:31:20 PM
Sometimes it takes hard work and dedications to raise up a child, we all grow up and we know how we struggle true life and that makes us to be grounded due to what we allowed ourselves to pass through and the training we receive along the way up, this is why we can only blame ourselves as parents first before blaming the child, because training up a child sometimes goes beyond provisions and shelter, both father and mother need to be available in physical terms to give the child the early up bringing.
But parents of owner days chose to chase after the money and leaving they children to be trained and thought by a third party, which will definitely not be good for the child, if not how can a child who is not endurge in extravagant lifestyle have reason to steal, this is sad for the young child, at this stage, it hard to control the child since I believe that he may have passed the age.

The parents should not give up if they see that their child is now into the deep of gambling world. They need to find the reasons or causes why their kid is into this addictive activity. Because if they won't address the root cause, hard to keep him away from this activity especially if they are not always present in his everyday life.

I believe, if the child sees his parents' efforts, he may change his mind and motivates to alter his lifestyle for the better. Sometimes, it is the attention they seek why they are going into this path of seemingly ruining their life.

It is true that the main thing that must be done is to find and identify the root of the problem and it seems that my prediction is that the child seems to have chosen the wrong association or it could also be that he has previously found some online gambling promotions on one of the social media where he spends his free time which is possible for him to feel curious about something that is promoted as some stremers do with the aim of finding many people to get involved in gambling sites that are promoted with the lure of getting big wins.

Yes, if only they see the struggle of a father who tries hard to work and earn money to feed him, clothes and other needs along with paying for everyone in his family then his heart should be moved to realize that what he is doing is very wrong as ungrateful and does not appreciate the hard work that has been done by a father, but it is also unlikely that they can really be moved.
512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recovering gambling addict stories on: April 04, 2024, 09:19:45 PM
I am curious about what they are thinking. Gambling away money that is supposed to be for an important cause and yet they still manage to decide to risk it. I don't have the courage to do that because I am afraid of what my wife will do to me afterward. Cheesy
Hahaha, too bad not everyone has a wife that knows everything that goes on in their private lives, especially their gambling life. Some people act without actually thinking about the possible outcomes or the consequences of their actions, it's after they've felt the impact and damage their action has resulted to, that's when they realize what they've actually done to themselves.
Actually it's not actually some people's fault, gambling can be pretty addictive that you don't even know how you got to spend so much on gambling, they might just wanna play with little amount, but after a series of sections, they find themselves going deeper and deeper and them more they play, the more they lose and the worst part of it is that, they dont even realize whats going on until the did is already done.

I am sure that all of that happens because they have entered the addiction phase which when you are already in that phase then you will absolutely not hesitate to make any decision that even has the potential to end up with regret and disappointment, but yes, those who are already addicted are too focused on responding to the chances of winning along with high hopes for victory, so that when they have money that is actually for other more important things in life at the same time they do not hesitate to allocate it to gambling which is clear that the possibility of losing can never be avoided completely.

This kind of decision is also very likely to happen when you are trapped in a situation of losing a sum of money that you can't afford to lose, where you justify all means such as using money for other purposes to be used as a tool to catch up with the loss you experienced earlier, however in the end yes everything ends up with regret and disappointment that dominates.
513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lately I've been thinking about this a lot. on: April 04, 2024, 08:58:00 PM
I think it's very likely to happen or may have happened in some fighting competitions or other sports, and I see it as a pretty clever strategy where popularity is secondary and money comes first. Most people would probably prefer a fighter who has a bigger winning potential from his track record so they prefer that fighter to bet on but without them knowing that there is a strategy that is running behind the scenes which is obviously a clever idea about cheating that is very possible in a competition.

But I think this kind of strategy can only be done when you know the fighter or at least you have made an agreement with him behind the scenes about the profit sharing, but on the other hand I think this kind of situation is quite unlikely to happen in some major sports especially if the fighter already has popularity and a very good track record where actions like this can bring down their achievements in the world of sports, I understand that money is everything but building popularity cannot be done with just money.
514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What was your latest big win from gambling? on: April 04, 2024, 07:53:36 PM
Honestly for as long as I have been involved in gambling I have never managed to achieve big wins like other gamblers, I don't know the problem whether it is because I am far from lucky or because of something else, but what I am sure of is that it is because I always gamble by only putting a fairly small budget amount such as for example $2 on weekends when I am off work and my involvement in gambling is also quite rare, there is no stagnant and consistency, simply put I will only gamble when I really want to do it.

I have experienced that sometimes I get bored in gambling when I am in the middle of the game which at that time I once withdrew all the money I had deposited because I lost interest in gambling, I don't know if other gamblers have experienced this kind of thing or not, but certainly I think this kind of incident seems to be very rare or even impossible to experience by addicted gamblers who we know that they always go overboard and sometimes justify all means just to gamble, one of which is like borrowing money just to gamble, and one thing is that I never get a win over $20.
515  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: April 04, 2024, 07:30:41 PM
The worry in this situation is when they turn out to be unable to resist all the temptations that exist in gambling that can make them tempted and fall into unconsciousness so that in the end they experience a significant loss of money which in turn the inability to accept the fact of losing can make them experience unconscious behavioral changes and this can be felt by those closest to them such as their family members. If for example the situation they can maintain their involvement well then yes maybe everything will be able to go well, but still the name of the possibility of experiencing changes is very likely to occur such as entering the addiction phase without realizing it, and all of this is very possible because as you said that gambling can always make someone tempted and addicted.

Yes, it makes sense that it could be a decision to keep their gambling activities secret because they don't want many people to interfere with their gambling habits, they may be uncomfortable with some opinions that can interfere with their involvement in gambling, but still the point is that they must really be able to maintain, manage, control and limit their gambling very well, because when no one knows your bad habits then you will not seek help from others if one day something happens to you caused by gambling.

On the time that you cant really be able to resist such temptation then you are really that bound to make yourself that able to experience the worst that you could possibly be able to have when it comes to financial condition or status
on which we know that on the time that you do gamble and losing up that control when it comes to gambling thing then it would really be giving out that kind of domino effect specially it had already affected your financial condition.
Speaking about other peoples views towards your gambling activity then its none others business on how you would really be spending up your money. Just let them be and put it on ignore. If you are someone who do
really get easily pissed whenever there are some words that you could hear out then it wont really be that a bad idea for you to keep your gambling dealing to be secret.

Honestly it isnt really necessary i should say on which we know that we do have our full rights on what we do gonna do with our money. Its not their problem on whatever the circumstances that we might
be able to face since its our decisions then we are the ones who would really be facing it up.

It's what we're afraid of and what concerns us, because gambling can always give us temptation or it means that there are so many temptations in gambling that look tempting that can make someone even fall into it unconsciously until in the end they lose a large amount of money which is clearly very likely to affect their finances. And yes about people who interfere with our gambling habits, it is true that sometimes there like some people who might criticize us especially if they are people who think gambling is a very negative activity which maybe this will make you feel uncomfortable, but it really depends on the personality of the gambler himself, if for example they are one of those people who are quite sensitive and really feel annoyed by criticism and the words of others then yes, obviously keeping gambling activities secret is the right action for them.

Although basically we gamble by using our money completely and in no way harm others but still there are always some people who criticize and interfere with our lives where they think what we do is wrong and should be avoided, although if we look at the magnitude of the impact of gambling can make criticism true but yes everyone has their own success and choices for whatever they want to do. The last thing is as I said above that the point is that we must really be able to control, manage and limit our gambling activities, because when people don't know our habits then the situation will make it difficult for us to seek help.
516  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gambling kills the fun in these two cases on: April 04, 2024, 07:09:11 PM
Hi everyone,

One of the common mistakes in the world of gambling now is that some people run to make quick money and are greedy by betting all their money and trying to make gambling their primary source of income. You find them spending hours in casinos and sites, regardless of their losses, trying to make up for it, and this is what often leads to more Of the losses that may lead them to bankruptcy, and there are also those who make betting the only means of entertainment and spending their  free time, even though they do not care about the size of their losses, they ignore the consequences, as the enthusiasm they find while playing will decrease with the passage of time and the matter will become tasteless..

Do not make gambling your only source of income or your only means of entertainment, as this will eliminate the first goal of gambling, which is pleasure.

I agree with this, gambling should be a form of entertainment.  When people use it as theor only source of income you are inevitably going to become bankrupt.  You make terrible gambling decisions when so much is on the line.  You can think rationally when you are just using it to entertain yourself.  Everything in life should be met with moderation and gambling is no different.

Because the possibility of high risk can be a big problem in this case, or what it means is that the possibility of risk in gambling will frustrate your goal of earning in it, in addition there is always no certainty from the beginning about whether at the end of the session you will win or not, everything is always unknown unless you have completed the session and this confirms and is the reason that gambling has absolutely no element of consistency in terms of earning.

Everything is always about "chance" and something that can only happen by chance can never be used as a place to earn, it's too risky and in some cases you end up losing more money than you earn. The idea and goal of earning can make you legalize all means of gambling which is where impulsive and rash decision making is what you are bound to do which indirectly tends to only lead you to a much worse situation.
517  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gambling addiction is not about the money you could win; it's about the "win" it on: April 04, 2024, 06:48:03 PM
The reality is that most gamblers, and specially the most addicted ones, are usually people without much money to begin with.

Most millionaires would rarely gamble. As you mention, there's little point for them to do that.

They can instead enjoy many other activities with the money they have.

Gambling is basically paying for chasing the fantasy of becoming a millionaire, which they already are.
I have to agree on your point. While gambling also entertain us, but majority still gamble to make money, and you won’t expect for millionaires still aim to make more money as they have it already. So what they are looking for is purely to have fun and relieve theirselves from stress, and once they get over it, they will not gamble more often, hence they are not prone to addiction.

But for low income earners, they gamble to make money. But the more they gamble, the bigger the losses they’ve been acquired. Eventually, if they lose their self-control and discipline, then gambling addiction will follow.

If we compare then yes I would agree with the idea that more people put the goal of earning in gambling than the idea of just having fun, one of the reasons is because there are still quite a lot of other things that can be made into entertainment without involving the possibility of losing if for example what you want is nothing more than to seek pleasure, but what happens? yes the population of gamblers is increasing and I am sure that there are some of them who hide behind the idea of "entertainment" where they actually come to "multiply". For the rich I'm sure that most of them just use gambling as a place to fill their empty boring time because logically they already have a sure way to actually make money such as from the various businesses they do that eventually make them rich, so this is quite reasonable to be the reason that the rich mostly use gambling as a place to relieve stress for a moment.

Background can be a triggering factor about the purpose of someone coming to gambling, such as those who have low finances in their lives which I think it is quite reasonable for them to assume and assume that gambling can be used to make money, or even some of them instantly believe and say that gambling can be used as a medium to change fate, but the fact is that gambling is not for that, which in the end yes instead of earning but what happens is that they experience a lot of losses.

Gambling is definitely not good for children, that is why there is age limitation in virtually all casinos. Unfortunately, children are becoming too smart and inquisitive, so I was just thinking about the possibilities of protecting children from getting involved in gambling. My worries was increased by the fact that there are physical casinos and betting shops(as they are called in my town) in many streets with big signboards. Children passes these places and some parents do stop by with their children to place a quick bet. Is there anything that can be done to protect children from gambling with reference to physical shops that they see everyday?

We are in computer age right now where everything is going digital and children become so smart to knowing some certain things they ought not to know at a tender age so the only way to exonerate one's children from playing gambling is to make sure that they have something they are always occupied with such that they will not have time to be influenced by things that their friends are doing and again, to protect your children from gambling you must make sure that they haven't caught you playing gambling and if you are a gambler, don't be too open to discuss about your gambling life with others in front of your children because children easily starts to copy what they see there parents does.

True, the digital world is the single biggest trigger for someone to fall into the world of gambling, no matter the age, children, youth and even the elderly are very likely to get involved in the world of gambling when they are active enough in terms of playing social media, And yes what is worrying is someone who is still underage where now I see that children of that age spend more time playing smartphones which they can operate by themselves and this intelligence can make it very easy for them to reach the world of gambling, plus as we see that now social media is one of the biggest places for most casinos to promote with the aim of attracting more customers.

This is a worrying situation in the midst of the onslaught of an increasingly sophisticated digital world that can reach everyone regardless of age, and obviously this is a big task for all parents who have children who are still minors where they must really limit the activities of their children in various ways such as limiting their play environment and also limiting them in terms of smartphone use, and also yes as you said that if for example we are a gambler then try us to really keep our gambling activities secret, do not let children who are minors see it.

I think it's oneself before one go into gambling he/she should have done a thorough research and assimilated every rules and regulations guiding it inorder to know how to go about it,it's not about awareness  it's about understanding what you are about to go into .
Some just come up with the mindset of making money so quick and end up becoming addicted with being informed..just as they say an Investment in knowledge pays more,you can't venture into something without knowing the full details of what it is.

So rather you do what's needful by taking time,even without the casinos updating you about the rules guiding the game you should know yourself so as to know when to gamble and when not to.and I don't think the gambling casinos,sites for companies have such time to  let out such awareness,so the better a beginner gambler knows this the better for him.
That's how beginners should be, but what's happening now? it would be very different from what is in reality.
more beginners are too hasty in creating an account then making a deposit. They don't care about casino rules, they assume every casino will have the same rules.
when everything can be accelerated and passed what the beginner focuses on is the game. even gamblers don't have to do KYC when they first create an account. KYC provisions may only apply to certain accounts.

In the event that you're a newbie to gambling, you'll find that most of them are always in a hurry when it comes to gambling as well as in terms of making decisions, and one of the reasons may be that they are still very ambitious to really be able to get a big win like the other people they see, In the event that you're a newbie, which means they are new people who don't know about many things in gambling, especially about the consequences, and I'm sure that their hesitation in making decisions is all based on hope and belief about victory, where they are so sure that they will be able to get a big win.

What I know about KYC is that usually more gamblers are involved in casino sites that can be accessed without doing KYC, and also for some people KYC is a registration process that is too complicated in the midst of their rush to gamble, as you said and it is true that the main focus of most gamblers, especially those who come to earn, is how to get a win by thinking of all the ways such as strategies to beat the game.

Yes it is a choice, we just have to choose which when we gamble with the aim of earning then you will get nothing but disappointment and losing money, but when your focus and your goal is only for entertainment and fun then even if for example you lose at least you have got the fun and entertainment that you wanted from the beginning and even if you lose but you will not think too much about it because your main focus is for entertainment which when someone comes with the aim of entertainment then I think they will only put a small amount of money, and we can see the difference here with those who come to earn where they are more likely to put in a large amount of money because of the expectation of earning.

So this is the reason why we are better advised to have the perspective and purpose of gambling for entertainment, all of that is to avoid you from losing a significant amount, because on the other hand when someone comes with the purpose of earning then usually they don't have the ability to accept the fact of losing which is usually the main trigger for them to act out of control such as chasing losses which actually that action will only worsen the situation or increase the amount of loss.
Disappointments is something that would really be inevitable when doing gambling even if you do speak that you are just that playing for fun but since we do know that losing money is never been that fun and as a human being then we are really that emotional when it comes on losing money and its something that cant be avoided no matter what. The difference here is that it would really be on the level of control and self acceptance about those loses on which it would matter
because to those who are really just that playin for fun would really be easily moved on in compared into those people who are playing for the sake of making money. Reactions would really be entirely be depending on how a certain person would really be treating it up towards with.

Its true that if you do know that you arent getting something on doing gambling or having no winning chance or making money then it would really be losing up that kind of interest on doing it.
There's no point on doing it because you cant really be able to get something from it and you would be thinking that it would be better  that you should really be dealing up with other
things rather than on making yourself that focusing into something which doesnt give out any benefit.

Yes actually we ourselves need to manage everything, or I mean all the impacts that we will experience depending on how we treat gambling itself, such as in terms of disappointment where there is a greater possibility for you to experience more significant disappointment when you come with the aim of earning because obviously as I said above that someone who comes with the aim of earning usually they tend to treat gambling in an excessive way and approach such as putting large amounts of money or gambling without having a time limit while on the other hand the possibility of losing will always be a sure thing.

True, however losing money is a situation that is not favored by all typical gamblers regardless of their goals whether for fun or for earning still the disappointment will always be there but perhaps with different levels which simply put it is certain that the typical gambler who comes with the goal of earning will feel more significant disappointment because of the hope of winning while the possibility of losing can never be avoided completely. So this is the reason why it is better that we make gambling as nothing more than a fun activity, because when you have the intention and purpose of earning then actually it will only make you feel more disappointed and emotional when it turns out to be a defeat that makes you experience loss.
