I guess the keyword here is control. Surely, you can estimate whether your gambling hobby is still under your control or it is already the one controlling you. It's probably easy to measure as well. If you want to stop and you can stop, then you are still in control of it. But if you want to stop but can hardly do it even if you're already losing much more than what you were ready to lose, then perhaps it is already beyond your control. There are so many other signs. But this one is very basic. If you can't anymore say no to gambling, then it's about time to seriously ponder on it. It will turn worse if left unattended.
Self-control and being responsible for every decision, I think every gambler will learn in the hard way and that is when they lose money. At first, I’m into money and aggressively playing without thinking and the control, but sooner or later you’ll realize that you are not improving and the situation is getting worst because of your losses and I believe this is the start where you will think about self-control.

Gamblers get fatigued while brainstorming on the right choice to make in a game. The exercise consumes excessive brainpower and takes away strength for willpower from the gambler. Leaving the player in the dilemma of what next is right to do about a specific decision. Whether to stop or continue. Money has already gone down the money pit. Going after it seems to be a better option. Who else wouldn't go after lost money? It's a normal human phenomenon. When a child's money falls out of his pocket, he'd go back looking for it. The casino or house, work strides ahead to formulate a better means of manipulating the player's human psychology. Too many blames are on the side of the foul gamblers as I may tag them, for chasing after losses. But that's how we all think.

Psychotherapists also have stated that anybody can be a victim of this pursuit. And continually trying out this chase, requires more money. That is the player must wager to get his money back. The search now gets weary for the player, with no strength of control. He'd lose it and go after it like a cheetah. There he makes the biggest mistake of his gambling journey. Hence, staying woke on the energy left in us is a super good decision other than paying much attention on the money. The emotions control how we spend money, so the thoughts of the gambler should be on his emotions. Not to get tired and lose his self-control. Where he wouldn't get a hold of how he wagers his money.

That's a cool strategy and I like it. But this kind of plan requires discipline which is difficult to achieve when you are a gambler. There's always that one more game, until you lose everything you worked hard for and then all of a sudden you will be shocked that you are already at loss and you are chasing the losses. That's why I said this requires discipline. If the plan to win came true, get out, run, keep it, or spend it for something else. Because if you stay at a gambling site, there will always the thought of playing more and trying to increase the profits but we all know it doesn't come true most of the time.


 Grin Grin Grin even if you run as fast as you can, you will still come back to the casino on a very faithful and have that bad run. For what I feel that's important is actually knowing or having the guts to stop when you are losing because that's the most craziest time ever, only that losing spree can break you in a way that you can't even have the mind to continue with your so called fun habit.

It's terrible for a gambler not to quit when he feels uncomfortable with his losses. Advancing on the next wager isn't a smooth choice for any gambler. He could be ending his bankroll each day he tries that. Eliminating the joy he once had, if he ever did, while gambling. It's not an easy task to move away after a win, and that drags down most gamblers to stick around on their gadget. Checking if a lucky day is in the corner. Such thoughts corner the gambler to believe he's about winning, anytime soon. Whatever it is a player accepts is right, going after more wins is unacceptable.

Because the trouble could start out from there, and he'd be unable to quench the fire. It's more like a challenge to the player to accept his responsibility, and not all would go home thinking like a loser. So, sticking around till the funds are over seems to some players as though they've achieved success. Don't know what they think of it. But leaving earlier would have saved the player the stress of leaving in an empty pocket. However, gambling is fun, with the funds. With no funds, it's devastating and incredibly annoying. The ball is in the player's court. But not at all times, will a player think for himself. As the losses could be too much of a burden, he wouldn't think of changing his reasons of going for more and stop.

Gambling addicts are getting lesser support because of the difficulty in identifying the early signs of addiction in a player not close to us. Help is only rendered when needed or virtually proven signs is made available. When an addict doesn't show or open up his problems to people around him it's quite hard to figure out his addictive behaviors. Since it's mostly done online, his funds are not being tracked by his acquittances. In society today, many gamblers don't recognize the early gambling symptoms in them, making the identification process very difficult, or the need to help an addict. That's why gamblers must focus on not finding themselves in a condition as difficult as problem gambling.

The healing process is quite very hard to find out by an outside body, unless told, in most cases, especially at the early stages. That's why most helping hands may have not been recorded on behalf of gamblers. Even in environments where gambling addiction strives, it's strenuous getting an addict to therapy. Many addicts when in therapy make the task burdensome for the therapist, due to the difficulty in curing gambling addiction. Unsteady attendance to therapy sessions delays quick recovery. And many addicts find it hard to comply with their therapist, by making it to their therapy sessions.
Gambling addiction's a serious issue. Some folks get caught up in it, and we need to help 'em out. The best way to do that is by spotting the warning signs early. Its about noticing changes - more money going out, changes in mood, that kind of thing. Its about being smart, preventive.

Now, the support system we have right now? Frankly, its not good enough. Its inadequate, needs a serious upgrade. Folks need practical strategies, not just empty promises. Therapy's part of it, but we need to make it accessible, make it work for the people who need it most.

We need a revolution in how we think about gambling. We need to make it safe, responsible, with safeguards to help folks who slip up. Its possible, believe me. Its not just about the money, its about protecting people, giving them a fair chance to beat this. We can make gambling great again, the right way.

I fully understand the need to reach out to problem gamblers, because of the emotional struggle they're undergoing each day. It's not a simple task for the helper either. But with awareness and preventive provisions for newbie players, it could be achieved. The other problem would be how could this be circulated among all the gamblers in the world. It's a big challenge for the gambling niche. Yes, I strongly accept that it's achievable. Given time newbie players can adjust to the advice of people around them or make it open to their loved ones that he's now into gambling. Hence, making it simple for them to watch him closely, and be able to detect any new behavioral change in his life. However, time plays a vital role in such a development or change.

Not every player, due to the stigma placed on gamblers, is comfortable sharing with others about his gambling habit or addictive problems. I think the gambling community online has work to do, by building a strong awareness for players to discuss their problems online with other experienced players. These could be a bit helpful, but not compared to facial therapy with a loved one or a therapist. In a nutshell, what is most important is starting from somewhere. Other than leaving the addict to undergo the stress alone, with no helper at his disposal.
544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done something crazy to bet? on: April 12, 2024, 08:18:52 PM
Yes, when growing up, I usually see a lot of older people gambling with Card and setting money to make everyone put in their best and seriousness, one of the things that I do notice is that some people with a particular amount of cash, and they will start setting the money, putting the money in money, putting in money down to zero and finally at the end, they go home with nothing ending up, losing all the money they came with that is wanting about doing things and gambling which I don’t really like it is always good to have a particular amount that you need to gamble with not just running yourself dry just because you want to gamble.


That is the only thing that many must Learn to bet without going crazy, for me it makes no sense to bet just to bet, just to look good to others, no, things are not like that Because for one to have things done it is by working honestly and hard, that's why resting from work is something that doesn't cost anyone because the effort of the other Doesn't matter, one as a player cannot fall into those temptations, we can like the game a lot, but there are things that are above the game, our things, our family, everything that makes us have a life, that is what we must see before making any bet, we are very thoughtful people, we cannot take the step just because or because we let ourselves be arried away by emotions, no. We are minors, our actions have consequences.


Not just in gambling, whenever we want to do something that requires risking our emotions and finances, looking at the family and kids who also would need the funds is a strong factor. It's like an energetic hold back to the person, to stay strong for his family and loved ones. When gambling recklessly it affects not just the gambler, but many other people who look up to him. Being thoughtful as a gambler helps in building strong self-control so as not to fall off into a negative part of gambling. Doing something crazy for the sake of gambling has never been my thing, but don't know what it could be in the future.

The game is quite confusing, and people or players tend to change according to the environment around them. While I still look out for the best in the future, presently, gambling responsibly is a good thing. And shouldn't be left behind for any form of pleasure that other players claim is found in compulsive gambling. However, our self and what we want for ourselves shouldn't be neglected. And nobody wants for himself a broken relationship with his friends and family due to compulsive gambling. So, no need to impress other compulsive gamblers around us who want us to gamble in the form of chasing losses.

You must already understand that AI is everywhere, it is something that we cannot avoid, if some people think that they can use AI for casinos or something like that , then you have to think that the casinos already have their action programs against this, and it is possible that the casinos themselves are against the idea of them using it and obviously the casinos already have their own Equipment with their devices and security against AI, so in view of these things we cannot say that when we think that we How players can we beat a casino with AI, AI is already Implemented in casinos, any threat that arises for a casino will exterminate it and punish the aggressor, the casino does not mind paying the money they must to protect themselves, so in the future the AI can take over the security role and update itself, that's a fact.

Whatever advancement that is developed in the tech world is always in the form of attack and defense. The casino also is prepared for any threat whatsoever that could be used to manipulate the house or results. Attackers who wish to use AI in the casino may have been trying it with not much positive results. People have been asking if AI can be used to gamble, and all. But it's almost impossible. Although the world is transforming technologically, and no company will sit back and watch it run past them, as it will be a disadvantage. So, I agree with your point that the casino is prepared to follow any due precautions diligently to maintain the security of their business and provide the best for their users. I don't think AI would be any much threat. Everyone already is adapting to the usage of AI.
546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: April 12, 2024, 07:45:23 PM
I think the strategy of doubling money in gambling will not be an easy one to actualize since the gambler will be betting little by little rather than going all in once.

The strategy I know for sure that the gambler would take to double their money from gambling would be if they risk it at once in gambling than to bet little. For example, if they bet with $100 to get $200. The strategy is for the risk takers cos it's either a win or a loss but the possibility of losing is higher than the win.

Going all in is a strategy in gambling, and some gamblers are now addicted to doing this oftentimes. It's the worst form of addiction I've read someone complain about. I do go all in some time, but when I'm sure I've got a royal flush in a poker. I Can't do that in a slot, easily. As it's not under my control, the result could go wrong, thereby, shortening the gambling session and putting me on the test to wager more money. However, gambling bit by bit is a recommended gambling technique for every gambler. At least being mindful of our funds, and how they leave the bankroll is worth it, as a gambler.

So, when the gambler decides to leave the casino, he wouldn't have to stress himself over the decision, as he's not lost enough money in the session. But a player who has wagered a whopping amount of money wouldn't leave the casino without his money. He'd wager more in pursuit of more wins, to recover the lost money. In the case of doubling money and leaving immediately, that doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes the gambler wouldn't be opportune to win a reasonable amount enough to convince him to go home.

Managing money is not simple, a child needs to be groomed earlier in this pact of life since he'd never escape it. This could help in the growth of society if future gamblers are not victims of chasing losses and wagering money recklessly.
You touch an important point to me, very often when I argue that kids should be taught about money matters from a very early age I get a negative response within my family, they say that kids should be let to be kids for as long as possible, but if kids are not taught at an early age healthy money habits, they will grow to develop all kind of behaviors that will set them back for the rest of their lives, so taking your time to teach your kids about money early on will save you and your kids a lot of money and headaches, and this could save kids from gambling at an early age as they will understand that gambling is not really for them.

There'll be a countervailing reaction from other people regarding such ideas, but it sounds like hiding the truth under the sun. Growth is inevitable, since he'd never remain a baby forever it's crucial to walk him through the future he's about to face, while in his childhood. Hence, in the future, he'd be able to look back and thank his stars for having a responsible parent who tutored him earlier on the importance of money management. Not all will grow up and end up as gamblers, but even if they gamble, he wouldn't chase losses. As he's known the basics of limiting his expenses, as a child.

When with kids, I tend to teach them what would favor them in the future, because it's inevitable. Putting them on the right track gives the child advances over some financial challenges, even as a teenager. A lot of adults battle with financial management because it came to them as a surprise. Their parents sounded like those around you who always say let the kids be kids. Erasing from their mind those children will end up becoming adults soon. Same way they were taught to learn how to eat, bathe, clean their teeth, etc., a child should also be versatile in other basic factors of living a healthy life like money management.
548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: April 12, 2024, 07:08:52 PM
Regulating emotions while betting is crucial to avoid impulsive decisions and potential financial losses. It's important because strong emotions can cloud judgment, leading to choices not based on logic or strategy. Techniques such as setting clear limits, taking breaks, and practicing mindfulness can help maintain emotional control. This emotional regulation ensures that betting remains a form of entertainment rather than a harmful habit.
The right decision will always give positive results on the bets we place and will provide a win that benefits us, but we need to remember that to make the right decision of course we must be able to manage patience and also greed in placing bets because without patience of course It's just very difficult to control emotions when betting and it won't give good results from the bets we place.
Setting clear boundaries and not betting continuously will of course really help us in controlling our emotions because when we bet continuously of course we will place bets greedily and this is very difficult for us to enjoy betting.

All the techniques mentioned above that fikrett said help in maintaining emotional regulation, require patience to learn and maintain. Most times or all the time the decisions we make as gamblers determine how our journey will end up in the game. The most challenging part of gambling is that this decision randomly switches from one to another, and a player may not be able to dictate which is the right one to choose or pick. What is to be done when a player is winning continuously, he wouldn't be sure if to stop immediately after he gets his first loss or continue gambling, whether he could be lucky.

Hence, the whole thing begins to get confusing in the long run. Gambling is mainly revolving around self-control, as the house is working round the clock to change how the results and decisions of gamblers appear. It's a mind game and the house keep winning it over the gambler. With patience, a gambler would be able to delay the gravity that pushes them to make wrong decisions. Whatever the plan of the casino, gambling cautiously helps the gambler not to risk a lot of his money, knowingly or unknowingly.
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: April 12, 2024, 06:50:49 PM

Most children will imitate what their parents do and if we don't want our children to imitate these gambling habits, of course we shouldn't gamble in front of them because if they imitate, of course this will cause us difficulties because they will imitate the habits. Gambling is of course very bad because they cannot differentiate between good things to do and how they can manage the gambling they do.

I agree with you. Gambling in front of children will make them try to imitate us. He will be curious and will try various kinds of gambling that we have played in front of the children. This is a big problem because children have the potential to become very addicted to gambling. We gamble because it is our choice and we already know and are ready for the risks. This will enable us to become wise gamblers. Children don't necessarily like gambling and they can't regulate their emotions when gambling like adults. Therefore try to show something positive in front of our children. I will even try to hide my gambling hobby in front of my children.

Gambling in front of our children is unrealistic and could affect the emotional growth of the child. Starting as a child to watch a father gamble is a threat to the child's future because he'd flashback to the days he watched his dad gamble. Hence, doing it wouldn't seem to him as a new thing. Making him gamble as a pro, despite being a newbie. Which attitude, could lead him to problem gambling as he never had prior training on ways to gamble responsibly. Parents who make the mistake of playing online games in their kid's presence are risking the future financial performance of the child.

Although it seems hard to always escape the presence of children whenever we gamble, there are other quiet moments when kids don't disturb their parents.

Such times could be utilized for gambling, and the gambler will also have a routine for gambling. Instead of gambling recklessly, not mind if his kids are presently watching or not. These things affect the society too, not just the kids at home. He could influence his friends in school, and the problem spread across a wider range of kids in the neighborhood. They could begin trying it out with their gadget during their free time. Parents should be careful with the behavior around kids, as they're fast learners, especially with their parents.
550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 12, 2024, 06:36:44 PM
A hobby means something a person derives pleasure in doing and wouldn't mind whether he earns money doing it or not. Hence, gambling in terms of a hobby has a unique definition depending on the usage per player. Just like any other hobby you mentioned on the OP, some people do what they do for money, while others enjoy doing it. If a gambler decides to enjoy gambling regardless of the outcomes, it should be considered as a hobby, and nothing else. The problem with most people is that they've heard lots of wrong inputs on the definition of gambling.

Hence, they'll never accept within their jurisdiction that gambling is a hobby. I'm not surprised this thread erupted out of an argument. Such people will argue this because it's not logically understandable to them to tag gambling as a hobby. Well, if a player sees gambling as his hobby, he could be making the right choice or the wrong one, depending on his activities. But gambling as a hobby seems more interesting than not. Expecting rewards from gambling at all times wouldn't make any increment to the joy or excitement a player would receive in gambling.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: THERE ARE TWO THINGS INVOLVED on: April 12, 2024, 10:15:00 AM
Nice try Op, it's quite fine to say that gambling has two options and repeating it as a reminder on the write-up as well was a bit tiring. However, gambling sometimes overshadows the gambler not to think ahead of what next to do, whether to leave or stay. This feeling of, "it could be my chance of winning on the next game" traps gamblers. I see gamblers who trust that the moment they walk away could be their winning moment. Hence, they'll try again, and again till nothing is left. Most players tend to feel relaxed not to play again once they've exhausted their money.

Gambling in both forms helps players get addicted or responsible, lose or gain money, mental health, or mental disorders. These factors keep on increasing as I think of it. So, players are left with the option of choosing where they want to belong. The right or the wrong track. Everyone knows which is the right one for them or not. Some players can choose to chase loss as their own right track, and nothing can be done about it. They've got nice reasons why chasing loss is the best form of gambling for them. In a game that only has two options to choose between, it's quite difficult to find a huge number of people who will continually go with the right ones. While gambling, I'll always examine my game not to end up thinking that the wrong path is the right one.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Health Benefits of Gambling on: April 12, 2024, 10:00:04 AM
In my opinion I don't think gambling has any special health benefits except from the arguable fact that it can help reduce stress in some persons. Since a lot of gamblers view gambling as a fun activity then those set of individuals will definitely be of the opinion that gambling can reduce stress since it's a fun activity and most fun activities help reduce stress. The fact that gambling can reduce stress is also arguable since some people even end up being tensed and stressed up during some gambling sessions especially those where they had accumulated losses and had a lot of thinking and analysis on their mind before placing the next bet.
The truth is for a topic like this, people will definitely view it two sided therefore the stress reducing or causing effect depends on the gambler himself and not the gambling activity.

Before we talk further about the health benefits of gambling, we also need to further consider the negative impacts that gambling has, especially on our mental health. Everyone who gambles and bets certainly knows that the benefits of gambling for our mental health are only temporary. Moreover, if we cannot control ourselves when gambling, instead of gambling making us feel a little happy and relieved, gambling makes us even more stressed.

Basically, someone will feel happy when they can feel satisfied, and talk about satisfaction in gambling when we get a big win while playing it. Meanwhile, being able to get big wins in gambling is not an easy thing to achieve. and no one in this world will feel happy when the money he has is lost for nothing, especially if it is a large enough amount, so that the defeat after defeat he experiences in gambling, it makes him feel even more stressed, and that It could affect your mental health and life balance.

The pleasure of gambling is only temporary, but many people miss and desire this pleasure. The risks posed by gambling are far greater than the benefits provided.

The effect gambling has on a gambler is personal, it depends on the ways the player follows his strategies. Our strategies can indeed be temporary in many ways, such that most players may not be able to control or maintain their methods. Or maybe, the strategy isn't fine enough to fetch the player what he wants in gambling. Hence, he'd look out for a better method of gambling that could yield him what he wants. But some strategies can be risky, especially when they revolve around making lots of profits in gambling. The player, who wants lots of profits, will end up receiving lots of failures that could lead to anxiety and then addiction.

That shows he'll never receive any further health benefits from gambling. A player who wants to develop his critical thinking skills can get that in gambling. It depends wholly on the person's gambling methods, and how he's able to think and rethink methods of recreating fresh strategies that'll make his gambling journey fun and exciting. But not everyone is opportune to devise good strategies for gambling, and don't know that gambling has some health benefits. So, they'll never receive those benefits listed by the OP.
553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: April 12, 2024, 09:45:59 AM
Some of the things that makes children grow up with wrong knowledge is because their parents kept away information that they needed to know while growing up because they are afraid that if this children have an idea about what they kept away from them that they may start doing those things without their parents awareness but the best way to make a child stay away from a bad habit is to teach the child the basic necessity they need to know and the consequences that surrounds it If the choose to get involved because when you do that as a parent, you have already given the child the knowledge of the dangers involved so even if they are introduced to those things by others outside it will be difficult for them to take part in it.
Not letting our children know that we are gamblers doesn't mean we should keep them away from knowing about the repercussions if they choose to gamble.
I basically think like this as well, there is a difference between teaching a kid how to gamble, a very irresponsible thing to do, and teaching them how gambling works and why it is not a good idea for them to participate in it, this way in the case one of their peers tried to introduce them to that world, they will be prepared to take a responsible choice and stay away from it, unlike what happens to those that are kept ignorant about the dangers of gambling at such an early age and decide to try it because the rest of their friends are willing to do it.

Looking at the societal adjustment to online gambling activities, its portability, accessibility, and numerous adverts. Kids will get in one of those sites where gambling is being promoted. Hence, sharing with the young ones the ethics of gambling and how it could be detrimental to their life, is quite important. Due to the risk of getting into those sites and trying out gambling, behind their parents. Parents must guide their children about gambling, such discussions could unveil some information the child already harnesses about gambling. It's also a better method of discovering if the young person is already trying out gambling. Because they'll never come out straight to tell their parents that they're gamblers.

As every child's goal is making his parents proud, hence they'll want to make quick funds to pay their bills themselves without involving their parents. So, instead of sitting back as a parent waiting for the child to discuss gambling first, it's proper to get them engaged in such conversation gradually. In ways that will promote responsible gambling and demote compulsive gambling. With lots of examples of gamblers who undergo or undergo the same fate of gambling compulsively, and how it affects their life in the future. These will help in building the child not to fall prey easily to gambling addiction, without opening up to his parent. Since he knows they've had such a conversation before, he wouldn't find it difficult to start the discussion this time.
554  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: April 12, 2024, 09:29:39 AM

Newbies are naive and curious to win, they're also equipped with lots of money. Thereby they gamble not minding whether it'll finish soon or not, soon the whole funds disappear, and they start all over again. Repeating the same process that finished their funds. Till they get frustrated and agitated whenever gambling. Such feelings are a result of the emptiness of the necessary gambling information needed to gamble responsibly. It's never a one-day thing, gambling newbies won't learn immediately. But putting them on the right track is quite crucial in building a serene gambling environment. With well experienced players in the future.


Because they are equipped with a lot of money, beginners appear more confident in all the gambling games they see, and they don't even hesitate to risk large amounts of money. even though in fact the beginner has not really studied all types of casino games so only with courage and a strong sense of self-confidence he is willing to enter the casino just to get the wins and pleasure he hopes for.
However, in the long term, if a beginner cannot control himself and find out or learn from experienced gamblers, then he will suffer more in his life and can also experience the risk of severe depression due to the large loss of money he experiences.
This applies to most aspects of our life as well, the ones that know the least about an activity are often the ones that take the most risks when practicing it, since they are unaware of the real risks they are taking, and only once they suffer important losses they will realize how mistaken they were to underestimate gambling, thinking they could easily make money with it, now some of those people can change their ways and become responsible gamblers, but there are others that will fail to do this and unfortunately they will begin their journey towards addiction.

It's true, that taking those risks without minding how the activity works, helps in learning, but doing that in gambling with money isn't right. Because loss of money can affect the player's thoughts not to focus on doing the right thing anymore. He'd be more concerned about learning ways of regaining his funds back. They could go ahead to read articles that focus on methods that could help or facilitate their winning possibilities in gambling. These methods we both know don't work, but only work in bringing downward the gambler's control over his gambling activities.

Hence, while newbies undergo such challenges alone, it's quite reasonable to get them some working methods like being careful with their bankroll. Unfortunately, as you said, not all of them can come across works or articles that can change their perspectives. That's the risky aspect of gambling in this manner as a gambler. It sounds like blindly gambling for money alone. Players in this category have a lot to learn but go to read the wrong things. So, this could be the catalyst to why lots of newbies run for the money. They are trying to defeat the house.

When someone starts using something new he has a lot of focus on that thing and then he loves to enjoy it for a long time.  So for those who start gambling for the first time, gambling is a lot of fun and they don't care about the loss at that time.  But gradually when they become addicted to gambling and lose a lot of money then they care about the loss but then they can't quit gambling for various reasons.  First they think of recovering previous losses and then they think of profits at the same time.  This greed does not allow them to give up gambling

That's right, to be precise, he still has an extraordinary curiosity about new things that come into his life, then he will enter slowly following the flow in his heart and mind, then if he feels comfortable then he will continue and that is a normal thing that happens to novice gambler.
Yes, if he cannot really understand real gambling then he will experience extraordinary greed and this must always be taken into account by novice gamblers because he may not yet be able to accept the impact of the risks of gambling.

Newbies are naive and curious to win, they're also equipped with lots of money. Thereby they gamble not minding whether it'll finish soon or not, soon the whole funds disappear, and they start all over again. Repeating the same process that finished their funds. Till they get frustrated and agitated whenever gambling. Such feelings are a result of the emptiness of the necessary gambling information needed to gamble responsibly. It's never a one-day thing, gambling newbies won't learn immediately. But putting them on the right track is quite crucial in building a serene gambling environment. With well experienced players in the future.

Yet getting this job done is mainly a personal thing, hence newbies are not opportune to find experts unlike during the days of offline casinos.

These days online gamblers, tutor themselves and utilize strategies from random streamers. Even reading up on online content on responsible gambling is not as effective as working alongside an experienced gambler who directs the newbie player on ways to manage time and money. Limitation is a smart move in countering the uncertainty in gambling. The Well-known slogan gambling gives profits, circulates fast more than any other gambling information. Any newbie has this information first before gambling. He'd need someone else to show him other useful terms in gambling to help correct his thoughts.

Rich people are humans just like the poor, they both share same brain. Everyone wants some extra funds, but that shouldn't be generalized as the reason why most rich people go to the casino. Some could be for fun, while others go for funds. The reasons definitely will differ, although the general population thinks that gamblers who have huge funds, only get entertained in the game. They're high rollers and the money they lose isn't small, it also affects the rich person. On the contrary, money is not wasted in the casino, where we gamble is not different from other places where we pay to get a service. Gambling is for fun, yes, and whenever a person is getting its opposite, he'd think he wasted his money. Nobody feels great after purchasing things he doesn't need. But it happens each time we go the mall, provided we have enough cash, we'll end up buying products that doesn't matter to us or wasn't on our mind previously before entering the mall. So, when someone goes to the casino with lots of money, he could go home feeling he wasted his money. Yet, he didn't, because he decided to do it. Nobody pushed him to wager expensively.

Whether rich or poor, everyone has their own reasons when they decide to go to a casino, whether it's to find entertainment to unwind after a long day of work, or just to test their luck. But there is someone who stupidly comes to a casino with the excuse of making a profit, even though he comes as a visitor, not as a casino owner or employee. They forget that gambling is full of uncertainty, and there is no guarantee that every time they gamble, they will win.

While the decision to bet large amounts is up to each individual, it would be stupid if we spent a lot of money on something we are not sure we will get. and I don't think anyone feels happy when they find they have lost a lot of money as a result of the gambling they do.

Your last paragraph is interestingly the truth because people gamble hoping to win big, not realizing that it's uncertain whether they'll win or not. What excites people is different and unique, but nobody will ever claim to be excited by losing money each time they chase a loss. The excuse or claim that gambling would yield more wealth, is based on what they heard or saw before joining the gambling niche. While both the rich and poor have their unique reasons, newbies seem to have similar reasons, unless told the facts or truth about gambling. It's quite burdensome to get new gamblers to realize gambling is a place to earn profits. Many people have never gambled for fun, that is, they never had complete excitement while gambling.

Because of the uncertainty in winnings, such players tend to get happy shortly after winning and end up going home sad because they lost it all again. Such anxiety develops into a bigger emotional challenge that the player would have to deal with this form of gambling for a long time, till he falls into the trap of addiction. While everyone claims to be excited about gambling, whenever asked. It's crucial to open up when the fun is no longer there, the problem could be around the corner. A writer once asked random people leaving the casino if they enjoyed the game and they gave him no single response. The anger of losing all that money back to the casino leaves them not wanting to say a word to anybody. That's quite a wrong gambling behavior.

Patience does not only apply to gamble but it is a virtue that when you have it in whatever you are doing, you will be able to achieve a positive outcome. Gambling is what needs patience on, if not you will not be able to withstand a tensed atmosphere when you are running at loss. If a gambler is patient with his lucky to play out, that gambler will not take drastic decisions of gambling with the amount that he can afford to lose, or neither will he think of only winning and not losing.

I also think that patience is a virtue because things are not so easy when you are playing and you want to have a quick result, sometimes I lose a lot because I don't know how to wait, and I think that this has also happened to many players. same problem, the bad thing is that it is reflected in our money because we lose a lot, so sometimes patience is better to see as a virtue, I have patience for many things, but in the casino it is very difficult for me to have the patience of many, I For that reason I have always believed that things can be very good if we know how to control them , the people who are patients in the casino are truly blessed.

Being patient in gambling can be difficult as you mentioned. But dealing with impatient isn't that hard to handle. It depends on your determination. What you want to achieve in gambling can be grabbed easily with the determined drive in you to reach there. Since you may handle patience in other parts of your life, then gambling shouldn't be an exception. I understand the unending daily challenges of gambling that tend to overpower the strength and patience of gamblers.

Yet when we can get over the impulses of staying impatient and chasing after shadows, gambling seems enjoyable. At some time gambling each day wouldn't be a challenge for the gambler, as he could easily decide not to play for a week or more. Meaning that he's now in control of the game. Same thing when in the game, he could, through patience, decide to stop at a given time. Hence, to achieve this level of self-control requires patience. It'll be vague to say that you'd easily ascertain complete patience in gambling. It all takes time.

Yeah it's because I've seen many people who already more than 18 years old can't manage their money and always give excuse if they can't save when they actually earn quite a good amount salary. Imagine if they become gambler, I won't be surprised if they might gamble almost all of their money and in debt because they need to buy foods.

While there are many young people who're not even reach 18 years old can save their money and control their emotion to buy unnecessary needs.
A person's maturity in managing money cannot be seen from their age, although in general people will be able to manage their finances when they are over 18 years of age or older. Children who are unable to control themselves and are unable to manage their finances will end up badly in gambling, because it will have a psychological impact when they experience losses. Maturity will give someone the decision to live their life and if they are able to be responsible with their life and finances then in my opinion there is no problem getting involved in gambling.

It goes back to parental upbringing because now it seems difficult to limit gambling to anyone because people are familiar with technology. So as long as their abilities can be responsible then getting involved in gambling is not too bad. I am not justifying or blaming because maybe people's perceptions are different, but it feels difficult to limit gambling now.

Being able to accumulate wealth is important in everyone's financial life for unexpected financial responsibilities that could erupt. Gamblers who are not able to control their wealth will undergo lots of trouble with handling other financial needs, except for gambling. It's quite fine for a gambler to repackage his lifestyle before becoming a gambler. Because of the changes that gambling could cause to his financial lifestyle if he's not careful of his savings. Upbringing is a factor, yes. And negligence affects the growth of children, regarding managing their pocket money.

Hence, due to the high rate of online gambling and the increase in the use of the internet, kids, growing up, should be enrolled to know the importance of controlling the gravity of spending money unwisely. It's not wrong to spend money, what matters is how it was spent, whether it favored societal growth or demeaned it. Managing money is not simple, a child needs to be groomed earlier in this pact of life since he'd never escape it. This could help in the growth of society if future gamblers are not victims of chasing losses and wagering money recklessly.

With this thought, I think it's safe to say that gambling isn't really meant for the poor guys because gambling isn't something that is certain so to risk the little you have knowing fully well that the odds and chances are totally against you isn't really a wise chose and something to do but you know one funny thing about this context of gambling and the poor,  they ought to always tell themselves about someone huge wins and they feel that they too can replicate it.
Gambling is meant for someone who have money and someone who can free it money whenever it losses in gambling and people does not know or understand the main objective of gambling and the way it works, someone who is a gambler and you are average person or person who receives payment you can minimise or calculate what you spend in gambling, a poor man is not supposed be gambling as if is a hobby, people who gamble everyday and eveytime, gambling should be a something that you are supposed  learn the way of gambling not something that we are suppose to put everything we have

It's valid to say that gambling doesn't have a specific price range required for players to wager money. Players can wager with a few cents and enjoy the game. Greed is a factor that should discussed when looking into taking risks while gambling. Gamblers who despite their little income are high rollers will run short of money easily. Unlike the rich gamblers who have enough funds to fall back on, low rollers who out of greed turned to high rollers, have nothing to hold on to, except applying for loans. The high rollers in the rich class also tend to lose enough money, and some of them go into debt as well, but the process tends to get easier for them compared to low-income earners.

Hence, it's brilliant that both the rich and broke players adjust their risk thoughts while gambling. Because it's quite very degenerating to the gambler's wealth. And if care isn't taken the gambler will end up regretting the whole process of risking lots of money while gambling. In a nutshell, gamblers regardless of their wealth level, are both in trouble when risking more in gambling. Gambling addiction does not pity both parties, avoiding it is better than playing smart.

....

How do you think individuals can strike a balance between enjoying the thrill of gambling and maintaining a healthy perspective on the potential outcomes?

to make gambling something that is not detrimental to health, gamblers need to manage their bankroll and gamble according to the money they are prepared to lose. and after that, gamblers can gamble on the games they want but they also have to be responsible for this by not gambling excessively and spending their entire bankroll at one time. gamblers can gamble multiple times until their bankroll is depleted. the point is that gamblers must understand the limits and be responsible for their gambling without going too far in pursuing winnings in gambling and to the point of spending money and stressing them out. if they succeed in doing so, it is likely that their gambling will not have a significant impact on their health.

Gambling is healthy in multiple aspects of a human's life, due to its vast wealth of thoughts and reasoning it puts on the gambler. It's left for the player to focus on enjoying those healthy impacts it creates in his life. What is most considerable is understanding the fact that gambling isn't just a negative activity. Once a player begins to let it sink, then he could gamble responsibly in the hopes of earning good and useful gambling benefits. The disputes rely on the thoughts of a player, most people don't acknowledge this fact of gambling being beneficial to a gambler's health. If it can destroy someone's emotions through addiction, it'll also build a player's emotions through responsible gambling.

Choosing the right pact now justifies the results of any gambler. A player who has in mind to relax or ease his stress through gambling will get what he seeks, with not many troubles. Hence, he enjoys the game and at the same time the health benefit of dealing with stress via relaxation. Unfortunately, new gamblers in large numbers, hardly get these healthy benefits of gambling, due to the prior information they get before entering the niche. This still justifies the fact that it depends on the focus of the player, if he's there to learn he will, be if the player focuses or earns alone, he'd face the consequences as well.
