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.

I understand that the best recommended approach to gambling is to make it a place to seek entertainment or pleasure, because it is impossible for you or anyone to really be able to earn income in this place full of uncertainty, but that does not mean that making gambling as a place of entertainment will completely make you safe and secure because it is still possible that you will experience the slightest risk, or simply you will still lose money even though the amount is not too large.

But the intention and purpose of gambling to have fun by filling your spare time which is quite boring is much safer in impact compared to when you come with the aim of earning, but yes still even if your intention and purpose is only for fun still you should not ignore risk management because after all whatever your goal gambling is always about risky activities, which means don't just have one place to have fun, or it means don't make gambling the only place for you to find entertainment, which we also have to have other places that really don't have the risk of losing money, such as playing games, gyms, or traveling.

Actually chasing defeat is not an idea to restore something that has been lost, because this action still leads to treating gambling in an excessive way, it is not a struggle to pursue something that has been lost but more certain is that the idea will only lead you to a much worse situation, there is no chase in gambling because after all gambling is full of uncertainties, one of which is in terms of victory where victory in gambling is nothing more than a "possibility" which means that if you are far from luck then obviously in the end you will lose again, and results like this will continue to be repeated if you do not stop it yourself.

However, winning always depends on luck, and that's normal because gambling is an activity that can never be predicted accurately, in the end it's still always about two possibilities, namely between winning or losing, which is clear that when you try to chase a loss then it is possible that in the end you will lose again, which indirectly this situation will increase the number of your losses. So the best idea is to never think about or chase something that has already been lost, "let go" is the best way and then you stop gambling.

This confirms that regret always comes at the end, and yes as you said which is easier said than done when we talk about responsible gambling because after all it is always difficult to completely ignore all the temptations that are in gambling, most of them always fall into the wrong approach to gambling which makes them experience a lot of problems due to the impact of gambling itself.

Regretting and eventually blaming others because you came to gambling at the invitation of others such as your friends is indeed not a solution, everything has already happened and no matter how much you regret it, it's too late, and I think you should have considered the invitation of others from the beginning by looking at various sides of what gambling really is, I am sure that your friend promoted gambling with the lure of the chance of getting a big win and you were too serious and focused in terms of addressing the chances of winning but did not put any suspicion regarding what consequences are behind gambling and with this means that you should not fully blame others, but blame yourself for coming without any consideration, because I am sure that if only you came with a rational attitude then you should not regret it now.

Gambling should not be taken too seriously, or you should not put seriousness into activities that are actually full of uncertainty, otherwise, then yes what happens will be like what happened to the OP where gambling affects other more important activities in your life such as work for example, and we can see that there is enough evidence that someone who prioritizes gambling too much always ends up with a lot of problems, whether it's losing large amounts of money or other problems that were never expected before.

I honestly never thought that there are some people who treat gambling too seriously, and I'm sure that they do it all because of the opportunity to win in gambling, where they hope to get a win to increase their income, but instead of earning the opposite happens where you will only end up with a lot of problems. If you don't have any free time to gamble then don't ever touch gambling, that's for sure, never let gambling which is really all about uncertainty interfere with other more important activities in your life, after all there is still quite a lot of time for you to gamble, for example like on weekends when you are off work.

Socialization is an advantage that online casinos don't have and when people include socialization as one of their gambling goals then yes most likely they will prefer to engage in physical casinos over online casinos, you will meet a lot of people where you can also share experiences or tell stories while betting along with enjoying a bottle of wine, this is fun for some people. On the other hand, I don't know if rich people are more involved in online or physical gambling, but I'm sure that there are some of them who gamble and are involved in both types of gambling.

One of the reasons why someone prefers to engage in online casinos may be that they are one of those people who are always closed or always prioritize privacy when doing anything regardless of whether they are rich or poor, but yes however the most important thing is to have the ability to maintain, manage and control their gambling activities properly regardless of whether you are rich or poor and also regardless of where you gamble, because the point is of course that the rich can become poor and the poor may have an increasingly worrying life if they cannot treat their gambling activities properly.

I think this concern is felt by all parents who already have children, especially if they know about the dangers of the impact of gambling itself, but sometimes there are some parents who are so liberating their children in their relationships and maybe that's because the parents don't care about their children or maybe they don't know about the development of the gambling world which is increasingly accessible to anyone, especially children.

I think we all know about what should be done to prevent children from getting involved in gambling, the advice is always about limiting various aspects of their lives, such as limiting their association in the outside world and not allowing them to go out alone, or that means you should always look after and supervise them and also limit their use of smartphones because it is clear that lately many casinos have made social media the biggest place to do promotions or advertisements with the aim of attracting more people to gamble, I think some of the points above are quite effective as a preventive measure.

The intention and purpose of making money dominates in their brains, especially beginners, so it is only natural that they do not think at all in the direction of preventive measures that can save them from the possibility of addiction, and also yes, this inability to think rationally is also experienced by gamblers who have entered the addiction phase, which is clearly the problem is that they always think about ways to get money as you said above, such as thinking about various strategies or other things in order to increase the chances of winning.

This is what makes it difficult for most gamblers to implement various precautions that may not even think about it, so it is quite natural that in the end they experience a lot of problems losing money. The interest and confidence will be even higher when they succeed in winning their first victory, which some even assume and think that gambling can be used as an intermediary to get rich instantly, basically it is quite difficult to change the way of thinking or change the point of view on gambling in a more correct direction if from the beginning they have already seen gambling as a way to earn.

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.

Yes and I think there is a significant difference in the impact of losses experienced by gamblers who come with the aim of earning with gamblers who come with the aim of having entertainment only, one of the reasons is that we can see in terms of differences in seriousness in terms of treating gambling activities, Simply put, those who come with the intention of winning are sure to do everything or always overdo it in gambling such as gambling more often or increasing the amount of budget because they want to get a big win, which is actually gambling is too sensitive to be treated like that, which means that it does not produce but they will only experience a large number of defeats due to too much while on the other hand gambling is full of uncertainty. And for those who come with the intention and purpose of having fun, we can guess that they will not be too serious in treating their gambling, simply put they come only to enjoy the game and not to pursue the victory so that the number of their defeats will not be too large.

Another difference is in terms of expectations where it is clear that gamblers who come with the intention of making sure they will put their hopes on winning and this is what encourages them to do various ways that lead to excessive actions, as you said that gambling is full of uncertainty which is the reason why we must treat gambling with caution without putting any expectations and seriousness, this is what you should pay attention to if you want to survive in the long run.

Usually gamblers find it easier to remember the big wins they've had than the big losses they've had and this also confirms or becomes a reason about why losing streaks can be cured by just getting one win that is actually not too big. On the other hand as far as I can remember, I have never gotten a very big win like others have managed to get, I don't know if I am far from luck or not but certainly I have always only bet with a very small amount of bets so maybe this is the reason why I have never gotten a big win like you.

Gambling is full of temptations, there are so many things that look tantalizing to the eye and yes this often makes people fall into unconsciousness because they make decisions without awareness, like what you experienced here where you lost half of your big win because you were too busy playing without awareness, and this is none other than why we must maintain awareness when gambling, no matter what happens even if you manage to get a win because basically humans are very likely to apply their greed driven by unconsciousness.

Casinos hide behind the idea of "chances of winning" which is what makes most gamblers choose to stick to gambling with unreasonable hopes and beliefs that actually everything in the casino, especially winning, is nothing more than a "possibility" which means that it does not mean you will be able to win because there are other things that can also never be separated in gambling, namely the possibility of losing or the risk of losing. But yes, it has been proven that this business is able to survive until now which means that many gamblers are still trapped or even deceived by their own hopes and beliefs about those who will someday manage to get a win.

That's right, casinos don't force anyone to enter and engage in some of the games on their site, they don't need to do that because just making the lure of a "chance to win" has made gamblers come especially if they manage to get their first win which is usually their enthusiasm, hope and confidence will be greater to get the next bigger win. What casinos want is to attract more people? Yes that's true, but most gamblers will not be interested if there is basically nothing that can make them addicted and choose to stay.

This is what makes many people eventually give up and not continue the process of their struggle, I can't say that they are losers or they are too fragile because indeed everyone has their own capacity, but the capacity in yourself is not a benchmark for you to just give up, because the proof is that there are some people who manage to achieve success in whatever they do or struggle for, so maybe only selected people who have personalities and ways of thinking that are different from people in general who can achieve success.

But yes I also can't forget the fact that there are several other factors that make them have to retreat too early from their struggle, when experiencing failure where they have sacrificed a lot of energy and money but the plan doesn't work which when such a failure occurs then they have to repeat everything from the beginning, about the spirit maybe it can grow but about the money that will be used as the main driver to return to stepping not everyone can have a situation that is always supportive which may cause delays to the journey or even retreat by ending it all.

I understand what you are saying which means that rich gamblers don't really care about losing or losing doesn't have a fatal impact on their financial balance which is because they have income from many sources of business that they run so losing in gambling may not really matter, but still it also depends on the amount of defeat because if for example it turns out that the amount of defeat is large then obviously it will definitely disrupt the financial situation.

Gambling is not a kind of investment, although both have the possibility of loss but still these two things cannot be equated because it is clear as we know that there are quite a lot of people who have managed to achieve success by investing, while I have never seen any gambler who managed to achieve success only by gambling which is nothing more than a "possibility" activity full of uncertainty. But the story will be different if you put money in the casino to help develop the casino, such as working with the casino which means you are not a gambler but someone who helps budget to develop the casino which means yes it can be called an investment because there will be a profit sharing agreement with the croupier from the revenue generated by the casino, if you are a regular gambler but say that gambling is an investment activity then it is wrong, because most likely you will only make the casino richer with the number of losses you will experience.

That's suspicious, and I think I would agree with you that most people have the goal of making money in gambling and as you say that's the reason why they get involved in gambling, we can't lie that we all need money and it's a pretty reasonable reason why more and more people are getting involved in gambling, the reason is quite simple that they are attracted by the chance of winning some money which they think is easy to realize.

Yes it is true that luck is not always about winning, and I will say that when you manage to return home with the same amount of money as for example cashing out the same amount as you deposited it is also lucky because some other gamblers mostly end the session with a loss or go home empty-handed, although basically other people manage to get a large amount of winnings but you can only get a small win but it is still a win which means you are lucky enough to go home with nothing.

The uncertainty about the outcome at the end of the session along with the fact that gambling is a business for casinos is the reason why you lose more or potentially more than you win and it's obvious that I think there is enough evidence that when you gamble too much it only makes you lose more.

Whatever the goal whether it is to earn or to have fun, the casino will not care about the goals of all gamblers, meaning that whoever it is when he gambles by exceeding the limit or means gambling too often then obviously losing large sums of money slowly will definitely experience, but the difference is that when you come with the aim of entertainment then you will not put too much seriousness and interest in gambling because your goal is only for fun - fun which usually entertainment you will only do when you have free time or when you are bored, I think you can also guess that when gambling has become a priority then they will gamble much more often because of the goal of making money driven by greed, so the possibility of losses will occur more often when you gamble too often, and one of the reasons why making gambling as a means of entertainment is more recommended is because it is likely that you will not prioritize gambling.

Most of the time I would agree with you that they come to make money, but the problem is that they come to the wrong place where gambling is not a means to make money but nothing more than a game to fill leisure time, so it is only natural that the opposite happens where instead of making money but what happens is that they lose money. They do not realize this fact, and one of the reasons is because from the beginning they are too serious and too focused on the chances of winning so all they think about is the various ways to get a win.

Their biggest mistake is to put their hopes and expectations in a place full of uncertainty, this is gambling which is always unpredictable about the results at the end of the session, all that you will only be able to know when you have completed it which is the result between winning or losing, and if at that time you won then it does not mean that the next time you will win too, It's still unknowable and the occasional win confirms that there is no element of consistency in terms of getting a win in gambling, and yes if you want to earn then it's definitely not gambling the place, it's better for you or whoever it is to look for another place that has a guarantee to be able to really earn.

Yes, that's right, from the beginning we have to think in that direction where let's just say that the money you have deposited in the gambling account is money that will be lost or has a great potential to be lost, because with this kind of risk acceptance, in my opinion it is less likely for the gambler to end up feeling too emotional due to defeat, which is usually a situation that can trigger a lot of out-of-control actions such as chasing losses based on desperation and emotion which usually makes the situation worse.

This kind of mindset aims to make a person more awake or avoid dominating emotions due to defeat, this is also the reason why we are advised to put the amount we can afford because with this approach you will be able to become one of the gamblers who have a responsible mentality which means not experiencing any emotion or upset due to defeat or understanding that gambling is about winning and losing, and addressing victory as nothing more than a bonus to the game you are playing is a much better mindset.

In any case yes usually impatience always brings results or leads us to unwanted situations, all of that is due to impatience in terms of making decisions about something, and yes as you say that most end up with regrets that are sometimes full of stress. This is gambling where a lot of things look tempting due to the many temptations such as the opportunity to get a big win that is difficult for most people to ignore, so they are usually too fast in terms of making decisions which means there is no patience applied there and obviously regret is something that usually has a high probability of feeling. I'm not sure if this is the case, but I'm sure that it's very rare that it happens, plus in gambling the percentage of losses is much greater than wins.

I think it depends on the person too, or I mean there are some people who think that keeping track of wins and losses is important and there are others who think that it's not important at all, but overall I don't think it's a bad thing to do because after all it leads to good by paying attention to things by researching which leads to preventive measures, like you said above which in some cases this kind of action is quite important and necessary because it is useful to support or refine budget management on balanced gambling with ability.

The aim is to find out if over a period of time you are losing more or winning more, and since this is gambling which is a probability activity with no certainty of winning then I think overall most gamblers lose more than they win and you can see the amount you are losing by keeping a record and then you can make a decision to be strict about the amount of money you spend on gambling or the time you spend gambling to minimize the amount you lose, and this leads to a responsible gambling approach where everything is in balance. This may not seem important to gamblers who don't care about their safety in the long run, as you said there are some people who say that these kinds of measures don't affect the results, of course precautions are not to increase winnings but to minimize the possibility of greater losses.
