5361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 11, 2023, 07:55:46 AM
When everything is in your favor and you can get money from gambling, you must immediately stop gambling because if not, you can get defeat after defeat that you would never expect. If you can't do it in the long term, you can get a gambling addiction that you are not even aware of and by the time you realize it, it will be too late and you cannot cure it easily.

And when you lose many times, it's better for you to stop immediately and leave the casino because if you don't, you will get emotional and might bet again. Quitting gambling after a loss helps you to lower your emotions after gambling and it can remind you of even more losses. To avoid gambling addiction, you must always limit your time and money so that you can stop playing immediately and have no desire to continue gambling. It takes practice many times and it's not easy but it's worth doing continuously to prevent us from experiencing gambling addiction.
5362  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a Gambler and a Die-Hard Fan of a Club Would you Bet Against your Club on: June 11, 2023, 07:29:32 AM
Yes. This is what I like (enjoying the game and supporting my favorite team).

Supporting your favorite team in any situation and condition in the form of a game is something that everyone, including us, definitely does.
In fact, I rarely even miss my favorite team's matches when they compete with any team.
And as you said, of course I separate the matter of bets (money) because talking about bets is talking about odds. Smiley

If the opportunity comes from the opposing team, then we have to think using the gambling brain, who is worth betting on, he will get his place. But maybe the number of bets I will use is less than what I usually use, because I also support my favorite team. and there are two advantages, when the favorite team loses then we will get a win from the bet, but when the favorite team wins we will get pleasure. That's fair enough isn't it and won't stress us out.
It's okay to bet on your favorite team as a form of support for them. And as for the bet amount, I think it depends on each of us because some use small money bets and some don't. However, to bet or not, it will come back to us. I don't bet for my team when their odds are not good against the other team but I will just watch the game and for me, it's a support for them even if they don't know I'm backing them.
5363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Confident Are You In The Reliability of the KYC system on: June 11, 2023, 06:58:02 AM
If the casino sites are trusted and approved by the government then I have no problem submitting personal information but if the casino site is temporary and weak in terms of security then doing KYC remains a risk.
That's why you must find a trusted casino that can give you a sense of security so they can take good care of your personal data. And don't ever try to play gambling in shady casinos, especially those with many problems they can't or won't solve.

Trusted casinos will provide good security to their members so they can be calm playing there. So by having a list of trusted casinos, you can do KYC with peace of mind and no worries, although nothing is 100% secure when we talk about the internet.

At such a high price for now, I didn't think there would be so many people willing to buy it. Maybe they'll wait until there are more cheaper options so they can afford it.

But such a device can give people a different experience but can also make them addicted to always wearing it and not doing any activity. But as long as we can use the latest technology well, actually the latest technology can help our activities. So maybe waiting for other devices that will certainly be more advanced than that Apple offers is a wise decision.

Is There A Time That You Calculated All Your loses In One Year One Online and Offline
In one year? No. But I sometimes checked my previous wager (in online casino) to see how much money I lost already. It doesn't mean i'm regretting my decision that I gamble since it's not that much, but more on thinking how many times I won because it's rare.
It would be better to reduce the amount of money to gamble so that if you calculate how much you lose in gambling, the amount will be less.

I never counted but maybe I just looked at the numbers and forgot about it. But I am very serious about not overstepping my limits lest I lose a lot of money gambling. I know that gambling, there will be more losing moments so that's what I have to reduce.
5366  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: June 11, 2023, 05:39:27 AM
I don't see arresting people who play in makeshift casinos or street games as a crime, the police should take care of the real ruffians, who are the ones who kill, commit crimes, that's what makes them policemen Don't arrest people who are looking for fun and who don't hurt anyone, those are the things that governments and control entities do that don't let others do what they want. In my country, at one time they did those procedures because Casinos were prohibited, and that is something I never agreed with, now casinos are legal as long as they give the government a good cut.
If the street casino is illegal, the police have to raid and arrest them unless the street casino already has a permit to open the street casino from the government. The police cannot arrest anyone who comes to a street casino unless they make noise or disturb the people who come to the casino. And as long as nothing interferes, the casino can operate properly and the police can also carry out their duties. But don't forget that everywhere there are corrupt cops who will ask the casino for security money.

It can be easily tracked by police now a days, as we know there are cameras everywhere and also CCTVs, so no matter how you run if you are in public, it can be easily tracked. Also,  with planting evidence, that is really what they are doing as long as they haven't found hard evidence. When some get caught, they will plant it so that for sure they go to jail. Even if it was seen by somebody, they will still deny it. Public places to gamble are not good. I think you can concentrate and enjoy the game in a private and quiet place.
Yes, if there is CCTV, the police will find out easily and immediately do something, so tracking it will be easy. But we still have to be careful in a public space like that because crime can happen anywhere and anytime.

And I agree that to enjoy gambling games, we need a separate place that is quiet and calm so we can concentrate on the game.
5367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: June 11, 2023, 05:00:59 AM
Let's simplify it: gambling is a big industry, and they would not allow an AI that could potentially disrupt their business. As of now, there is no AI that has single-handedly destroyed a gambling business. If such an AI were to exist, the entire industry would be heavily impacted since many gambling businesses rely on similar systems for the games they offer to gamblers.
Even if such AI exists, casinos will find a solution because it relates to their business and casino owners don't want to see that their business can't generate huge profits. And this will also be done by business owners in other fields because if they see a threat from AI, they will look for someone or several people to deal with that threat. Of course, they still want to grow their business even if casino owners also have to apply AI to their businesses. And business owners who always keep abreast of technological developments will have the opportunity to develop their businesses properly.

Using AI on poker isn't really even new idea, as you have been able to do this with programs already. Ai is just an overkill calculator for counting odds. Because if we go with basics i don't think it's so hard to count your changes. Pros can do that in their head. And it's really hard for me to believe that AI could pick all the nuances pro players can as most of that isn't even happening in concious level.

Maybe it can and it's all about the level of prompts you give to it. But even then, it's not like casino would lose much for poker players having an edge when they are playing against each other anyway. Casino gets tournament participation fees no matter what.
We have indeed experienced playing poker against AI. If it were in the program, we would be up against bots because we have no opponents to play with. And from that simple program, AI emerged, which has been growing and will develop again. And from there, we can learn a lot to become pro poker players to play cards even better.

But we must be patient again because the developers are still working on finding the codes for the AI to help people learn poker. And it is possible that traditional poker players will decrease in the future because they will prefer AI to play poker.
5368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't gamble if you don't have patience on: June 11, 2023, 04:28:11 AM
If they have achieved their target for the day, they should be able to walk straight out of the casino and enjoy their win. If they continue to play, it will not pay off much more and will be unpredictable. So it's better for us to enjoy our results than to continue playing gambling because we could lose what we just got. Patience can provide good self-control and with the experience we have gained from playing gambling in previous games, we can avoid big losses.
A gambler who doesn't know when they should stop is basically impatient and greedy, and such gamblers barely manage to get something out of their gambling activities because they eventually lose back everything that they might have managed to win during a gambling session. So, practicing patience is a very important thing for a gambler and one should always have enough patience so that they can control themselves when needed.

Our minds will tell us a lot of things but we are not supposed to follow everything it says, and that is where self-control plays its role, if you don't have self-control, you can't get over the urge to gamble more when you've already won something and that will give an advantage to the house.
We have often met gamblers like this and maybe even experienced it in the past. But over time, we learn to be patient and control ourselves so well that we are not now chasing another victory. And it is true what you said that practising patience is important because it is not only useful when we play gambling but will be useful for other things.

And as long as we can hold back thoughts about playing gambling, I don't think we will be tempted to continue playing gambling and instead, we can reduce our gambling activities. And it is useful to reduce the loss of money as long as we bet with small money. By having good self-control, we can also avoid many bad things in gambling.
5369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: European Sex Championship 😳, Will you Bet? on: June 11, 2023, 03:54:01 AM
for offline casinos it might be possible to add this type of bet but for online casinos it is definitely not possible to add this type of sex bet because it has violated immoral rules for me.

so there's no need to be curious about this type of bet because this is just a rumour.
Maybe if the online casino added them to their list, the regulators would scrutinise them right away. But let's hope that sex sports will never be shown to the public and will not be allowed as betting.

But the rumour grew quickly and attracted many people's attention, especially those who might want to participate. But I do not want to bet on the sex championship because I feel that is wrong. Many other bets that I can place so I do not think I need to place on that.
5370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cold or Hot Slot? on: June 11, 2023, 03:21:20 AM
Since slot games are luck-based, I don't think RTP can get us any wins, even big ones. I guess we can get big wins in slot games with low RTP; it just depends on how good our luck is. So instead of thinking about RTP, which doesn't guarantee big wins, it's better to enjoy slot games.

So I guess no strategy can work unless I have some luck. Maybe some people have successfully used one strategy or several to get a big fortune from a slot game with a high RTP.
Why do casinos provide RTP? The goal is simply to provide a higher level of confidence for the players, and that will make them more enthusiastic about playing. In fact, it will not really affect your chances of winning. But in my experience, sometimes there is also an RTP that affects the course of the game we play. Apart from that, it's true as you said, that gambling is still gambling, there isn't any strategy that can be used, it's just about luck where you will win when luck comes.
If you ask, the reason is that casinos want to attract the attention of many gamblers to try playing slots with high RTP and give gamblers the temptation to play gambling. And this will attract gamblers even more when casinos combine it with promotions with certain conditions so that many gamblers want to try their luck. The chances of winning will probably be the same but the chances of losing are still there and maybe bigger than the wins. And that's gambling so we have to manage it.
5371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: June 11, 2023, 02:46:05 AM
At some point parents stop being accountable by the actions of their children, after all even if a kid receives the best education possible and all the love and attention that they need, at some point they begin to take their own decisions and it is there when the influence of the parents stop as they cannot decide for their children what to do, and while in such sad cases they might wonder what they did wrong the sad reality is that they could have done everything right and still get this outcome.
Indeed, parents will stop being responsible for their children, but parents will still pay attention to their children because that is a form of love from parents to their children. That's the attitude of parents and even though parents don't seem to care, actually parents really care about their children, especially if their children don't live with them anymore. After children grow up, they begin to make their own decisions without parental influence and parents only pay attention and help children if they ask for help. And in that case, it is possible that the parents must be very sad for their child but it cannot be expressed in real terms and only buried in their hearts.
5372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bankroll management discussion on: June 10, 2023, 02:53:44 PM
Usually gamblers who only gamble for fun always limit their gambling so even though it sometimes takes a long time it won't make them spend their expenses, obviously they will stop usually when they reach their gambling spending limit, usually there is a certain deposit then when the money runs out even though betting small will not make curious.

I'm a person who often gambles with small stakes and it doesn't cost much money to lose either but indeed sometimes I often get emotional when I feel bored or have reached the point of pleasure, so I play seriously and risk all the money taking the opportunity when my money runs out at that time I had to stop because I had reached my daily spending limit in gambling.
That is a must that most gamblers need to do to avoid any losses or losses. They will know when to stop gambling and will not continue if they feel they have gambled enough. And they think it is better to gamble with small money than to use big money for a long time. That is not profitable for small gamblers because they can spend money just to play gambling.

We must be able to reduce the betting money that we use for gambling to avoid many defeats. Apart from that, we also have to avoid emotional escalation caused by the defeats we experience. Usually, these emotional escalations can increase as the defeats continue to occur. If it weren't stopped, it would risk triggering another defeat even if there was a chance of winning. But the opportunity will not be great, so the defeat will come again.
5373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: June 10, 2023, 01:53:52 PM
It's also a shame to see some parents not to know what their children are doing in secret, i count it as being insensitive enough to know that your child is gamble being a student whereby gambling requires money to do it, also i will blame the parents the second time for the kind of upbringings the child was exposed to that has led to his thinking about comitting suicide, how did they arrived at training their child having that kind of mentality, he would have been so used to making friends or too used to an open environment full of different atrocities.
It's a huge loss to lose a child due to gambling; it's not fair, but the act has already been done. gaming only leads to critical loss; I've been there as a teen; on second pondering, we shouldn't blame the parents; some guardians are naive about their children's lives; I believe these kids followed bad company and were introduced through gambling. Suicide is the only chance for people who have been rendered worthless by their illness, not gambling which can be fixed and in less than no time, everything will come back normal; they fail to recognize that a problem shared is half solved.
What is certain is that parents need to reconsider how they teach their children because they have lost their children to gambling addiction. This is the hardest lesson for parents because they cannot educate their children so they die from gambling. Indeed, we cannot blame the parents but at least it is the responsibility of the parents. And even though the child, for example, is still alive and able to have a family, parents still have a role to play in their children and future grandchildren. So the responsibility of the parents will remain until they die and will be carried on by their children.
5374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how to get over it on: June 10, 2023, 12:53:08 PM
You need to ask yourself that whether you can loose this amount or not from your perspective? You are not cashing out profits and going all in which is risky move and seriously when you loose any big amount it will serve as learning lesson to you and that time regret is what we all have.So we should be able to control ourselves and this is first rule you are ignoring so what else to say about it.You mean you have not lost because it seems you are in profit always while it's your luck favouring you but it can turn you down anytime.
Judging from what he experienced, it seemed that he could bear the loss because he could make a lot of money. And it seems he has a gambling addiction because instead of stopping gambling for a while and enjoying his winnings, he continues to gamble. He had to work on it because continuing to play didn't guarantee he would get another big win, and it did. He had a losing streak, which was a huge amount of money. He must overcome or control himself to stop so that he does not experience loss.

In the past, when I was still gambling, I had feelings of guilt and promised not to gamble on certain days, but it turned out that I was back to gambling again the next day or the day after. And yes, I did break it myself and somehow, after playing it again, I don't feel guilty.

But losing after losing made me think that this had to stop before I lost more and more. So I started working on limiting my gambling and reducing it. At first, it looked difficult but luckily, I had a distraction so my mind wasn't on gambling and it has worked till now.

5377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: June 10, 2023, 09:41:13 AM
When it comes to wagering requirement then it isnt really that shocking to have these things on which it would really be just that normal that they would really be asking for something like this or it is really that planned from the start. They cant really just let gamblers do able to withdraw out of those bonuses and this is why they would be setting out those humongous requirement on which it would really be that
impossible for a player to reach out but if its really that different into each casino then for sure those wagering requirement wouldnt really differ much or simply those numbers arent really that too much in gap.

On the time when we do see some casino launch where these bonuses wagering requirement been lessen then it would really be a huge risks at the casino because people could easily make out
those bonuses to be utilized but of course even having that 20x rollover seems impossible to reach out which they do have usually that 30-40x requirement.
I agree with those cashbacks/rakebacks than with those bonuses, it would really be that much interesting.
Casinos have wagering requirements when they launch their promotions and if you don't check them carefully, you might break the rules and not get your bonus from those promotions. That is why gamblers must check all the rules before deciding to participate in the promotion. And if those wagering requirements are too tough to pass, we shouldn't take the risk.

If a new casino is launched, they will use massive promotions to attract attention from gamblers. But if the casino provides wagering requirements that are difficult or seem impossible to achieve, they won't be able to get what the casino wants. Whatever looks attractive to gamblers will always try to get by those gamblers. Only wise gamblers will not try to participate in all the promotions given by casinos because they measure themselves first and then follow or join in those promotions.

Me too I don't look at bonuses lately because I know there is no bonus without a wagering requirement and in the process of trying to meet the wagering requirement I'm ily loose everything, so my understanding of the underlines disadvantages of bonuses make me to always avoid them, so what I do is to make my deposit play and if I win I am free to withdraw my money ASAP.
To me, this is the ultimate motive to gamble but if you are the kind of person that always run after bonuses, you will see that at every point that you make a constant attempt to claim a bonus,  your risk of losing your total balance is increased so you need to constantly put such into check.
I also always try to understand every wagering requirement before depositing the money because I don't want to experience difficulties when withdrawing the money. And I have previously had a bad experience at one of the casinos, so that makes me more careful when participating in one casino.

I also won't force myself to join the promotions given by the casino because I don't have a big budget to gamble with. I thought I was just looking for the fun of gambling and not chasing bonuses and if I could get a bonus without any complicated wagering requirements, that would make me happy.
5378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 10, 2023, 09:07:14 AM
When a gambler is in a game session and loses so that the decision to return the money that has been lost becomes a goal, it is difficult to control emotions because his thoughts and emotions have become one and the focus is only on winning a game.
Actually the most difficult thing about gambling is not about addiction but about controlling yourself.

Because usually there are several people who give their money to be used as betting capital with the aim of sharing the results when they win.
This happens, of course there is an agreement that if the money is lost, then they must be able to receive it.
It is better to use their own money but if there is an offer like that few people will refuse it.
So, in this case, we must have the ability to control ourselves so that we can avoid the desire to continue the game or want to recover the losses we have experienced. And with that self-control we will not think about recovering the money we have lost but will think that it is a risk that we accept because we have been gambling. We should still be able to control ourselves well so that we don't think about things and even experience gambling addiction later. Using our own money to gamble must be accompanied by responsibility; if that money runs out on the gambling table, we will only feel disappointed. But if we use other people's money, we must return the money somehow. So the responsibility will be greater if we use other people's money to play gambling.
5379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: June 10, 2023, 08:29:56 AM
Never see any easy to win sports to bet since this will depends on a persons familiarity of sport he was going to bet. If he don't know anything on sports for sure this will lessen his chances to earn a profit on sports betting or we can say that this type of gambling is jot for them.

If they follow tipsters or avail such service they cannot still assure that they can earn a profit so much better if they are into that type of betting since they think its more easier than other gambling options they should watch their favorite sports everyday to know every details about the league.
At least that's what many people think, who see sports betting as very easy to win because as long as they can find out who will compete and they have good analytical skills to choose their team, they can have a chance to win. This makes many people like betting on sports betting, especially people who are very familiar with sports and each player well.

We can get confidential information from one or several sources, but we have to make sure that the confidential information is valid or invalid to make a choice to bet. We must not just follow the confidential information but must remain careful because we do not know the truth. But that will be up to them because they are the ones betting on sports betting while we are free to choose the gambling game.
5380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't gamble if you don't have patience on: June 10, 2023, 06:34:34 AM
Patience is the ultimate positive factor that always comes at the end, it enlightens us on making profits but do desperate ones after achieving their targets for the day, still go further to place bets on more games, just because they got lucky in their previous stakes, they thought they had mastered the entire space, it's unpredictable, we just make random decisions on games that have a 50/50 chance of profit or loss. Patience is a virtue, gambling is on another level, it messes with our cerebral cortex; redirecting us to having naïve hopes on our wagers, I don't anticipate in it because it dealt with me earlier this year. Everyone has a lesson to learn before attaining gaming experience, and I've surpassed mine.
If they have achieved their target for the day, they should be able to walk straight out of the casino and enjoy their win. If they continue to play, it will not pay off much more and will be unpredictable. So it's better for us to enjoy our results than to continue playing gambling because we could lose what we just got. Patience can provide good self-control and with the experience we have gained from playing gambling in previous games, we can avoid big losses.

It's very common to lose after winning in gambling. Even though we know this simple rule, we expect victory one after another, but the reality is end up losing instead of winning. If gambling takes a break after a few consecutive wins, there may be some change. The more time we spend in gambling, the more likely we are to lose than win because nothing is certain in gambling. Spending less time and  manage bankroll in order will benefit the gambler the most. Taking a break after a few wins can also be called a test of patience. Gambling can never be successful without patience.
Our minds still want another victory even though we won in the previous round, which is a sign that greed has appeared. And if we don't have patience and self-control, we can become more eager to pursue it. When we get a lucky win, we have to stop immediately because I see that usually, after that winning streak, we can get stuck in endless losses until our bankroll is completely gone. Therefore, it's better to manage the bankroll and have to rest for a while after getting a win. Playing gambling must have many requirements for a gambler so that he doesn't experience problems later. And not many gamblers can do it and only by continuing to practice being patient can we overcome it.
