Yes because of that adrenaline, you want to keep playing and you want to continue that desire, it's really annoying when you need to go back to work when you are already enjoying the game, or if you are losing and you wanted to cope with the money, things that will risk your job when you gamble during the time of your work.

It's better to seperate your time with your work to avoid this kind of emotion that may lead you to gambling addiction.
If it's because of adrenaline, we still want to continue gambling while we still have to work and have to choose what we should do. But if we are working, we should not gamble but should really work well because we get a salary from our workplace. We must not waste the opportunity to work at our workplace because there are many people out there who are still looking for work and really hope to be accepted for work. Meanwhile, we have worked and earned a salary, so we have to use it seriously.

Yes, we have to be able to work professionally, especially if we work in a team with other people. If they find out that we are gambling, it will definitely be troublesome because in the workplace, there are definitely people who don't like us, and that is a normal thing that happens in many workplaces. Don't let us get into trouble just because we play gambling, which is not appropriate to do at work.

Borrowing or lending money for gambling purposes can strain relationships and create uncomfortable situations. Even if you want to, you need to consider the potential consequences and communicate openly about the associated risks. Explaining how lending money for gambling could negatively affect the relationship emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy connections and encourages responsible financial behavior.

People who are seeking money for gambling may be focused on their immediate needs, but it's crucial to make them aware of the potential long-term consequences. Setting boundaries and refusing to lend money for gambling purposes is a reasonable and self-protective decision. It sends a clear message about the values and priorities you uphold. It's an act of self-care that can contribute to maintaining healthier relationships and avoiding unnecessary financial strain.
That is why if we do not want our friendship with friends to become uncomfortable, we should not borrow or lend money for gambling purposes. There are many cases like that where friendships end up breaking down, and they even become enemies with each other because of small problems. Money problems are often serious problems that can affect the relationship between both parties and ultimately can also affect other friends. We must be able to take good care of ourselves so that we don't experience unpleasant incidents, especially with our friends.

If people look for money from gambling to be able to make money to meet their daily needs, they won't make money because it is difficult to get. They could actually lose their money if they aim like that because gambling is not a place that can give money. They won't be able to make money every day from gambling, so they don't need to. But if they borrow money from anyone to gamble, it means they don't care about themselves and their families because there are risks behind borrowing money that they might not even think about.

yep, because indeed if a gambler who is not addicted or does not have an unstable mental disorder will definitely gamble normally without doing anything embarrassing like the video uploaded by the OP is actually very embarrassing but I will understand it because sometimes everyone has their own characteristics or different mentality as I know a gambler plays a slot machine and when he loses and on the one hand has problems with his family he comes with emotion and destroys the casino machine as if to vent his emotions on the machine.

this is almost like the OP story with a girl who was playing slots peeing where she was sitting, maybe there was something wrong that was pressuring her not to leave the slot machine and chose to stay and pee where she was sitting.
Indeed, land-based casinos always present something strange that we will see in contrast to online gambling we dont know what other people do, but this is an interesting story.
And people who experience this unstable mental disorder may not be easy to recognize because they can act like most normal people. They also didn't do anything embarrassing, like in the video. In fact, they looked normal and fine. But only when he talks or experiences problems can other people know that he has a mental disorder. He may destroy anything he sees to vent his emotions.

Perhaps she was too lazy to go to the toilet, so she decided to pee where she was sitting. Well, she shouldn't have done that because it was very embarrassing. There are many possibilities as to why she doesn't want to go to the toilet, but if we look again, it looks like she is receiving a telephone call while sitting in front of the slot machine. But we don't know. Someone who recorded it also didn't approach the girl Grin
544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The chance of hitting the Bonus Feature = Buy Feature vs. Manual on: January 12, 2024, 11:35:36 PM
Getting the Bonus Feature is not easy even using the Buy Feature because, in slot games, we have to have the luck to hit the Bonus Feature. I have tried many slot games in the past, either with a Buy Feature or not, and it was difficult to get the Bonus Feature in slot games. But I don't know, but I still feel it depends on the level of luck of each gambler. I often get two bonus features and almost get the bonus feature if the number is three. And out of a hundred spins, perhaps the two Bonus Features come out more often, but still, it doesn't give me the Bonus Feature. That is why winning big in slot games is very difficult because it depends on one's luck.
545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Land-based Casino Enjoyers are something else. on: January 12, 2024, 11:11:32 PM
It will depend on each gambler because if they can find fun in a land-based casino, they will still gamble there. They also won't act beyond their limits like a girl sitting on a slot machine to pee. It was embarrassing for a girl who could pee on the toilet. If people in land-based casinos can control themselves, they certainly won't have any problems, but maybe they will hold their urine because they haven't finished their gambling game and will hold it in until the game is finished, and then they will run to the toilet. Everything will depend on each person when gambling at a land-based casino because if they are not too serious about gambling, they can do other things.

Chasing wins sounds familiar as I have been down that road on several occasions. I lost a bet and as a result I damn the consequencs and start chasing till I lost the remaining funds that was much more than what was initially lost. ALtough I consider it to be fun at some point but it still remains a major loss with a lesson.
Many gamblers have experienced this and failed to achieve it because pursuing victory is not as easy as we would like. We have to use more money, which will not guarantee we can win, but we will only lose the remaining money. And if we can't control ourselves, we might end up depositing another amount of money because we feel we can still gamble to win. Many people lose a lot of money because they chase their winnings, and many are not aware of this because they have exceeded their limits. Those of us who have also experienced it must be able to prevent having the same experience, so we must really take good care of ourselves while gambling and not exceed what we can afford.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: January 12, 2024, 10:27:21 PM
I sometimes gamble a small amount during work breaks, and sometimes I feel like I don't really want to go back and just continue on playing.
But we should know our limits and priorities, don't let gambling ruin your life specially if you already have a stable job.
Always know what your priority is, your job would give you stability to provide for your family, gambling doesn't guarantee that you would always have a profit.
The feeling of not wanting to go back to work anymore and wanting to continue gambling will appear when you have to go to work again and it will not be good for you if you do it again. Your focus at work will be disturbed because you might think about gambling rather than your work. We have to know our limits and priorities so that if we are working, it is better not to gamble during work breaks because it can make us unfocused and less enthusiastic about working again. It's better if we just hold it in until we're home again so that gambling at home won't bother anyone. By knowing what our priorities are, we will not violate anything, and if it is work, we will not violate the rules at work because the job is what gives us a salary, so we must be able to focus on work.
548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A brief advice for the newbie gamblers. on: January 12, 2024, 10:08:15 PM
Being a gambler has risks and responsibilities because, in gambling, there are wins and losses, which will come and go for all gamblers. When a gambler says they can win, it will not be easy because gambling cannot give the gambler the opportunity to win more often. It is the casino that will get the biggest wins, where the casino gets more money while many gamblers experience losses.

Both novice and veteran gamblers will find it difficult to make money from gambling, so novice gamblers should be able to think that they also have no greater chance of winning than losing. That's where novice gamblers need to consider their initial goal, from trying to win to trying to enjoy the pleasure provided by gambling.
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job on: January 12, 2024, 09:48:40 PM
Gambling is not a job, and people should know that, so they should not use gambling to make money. This is a mistake that people still make because it will cause problems for them until they end up addicted to gambling. But if they still have the desire to make money from gambling, it must be difficult to convince them to stop gambling and stay away from gambling. They will reject it and will instead be even more eager to try to win the gambling game. Moreover, they will see winners from gambling more often, making them even more curious about winning. If they can gamble in moderation without expecting much from gambling, they can enjoy gambling as entertainment and will let the wins come to them. By doing things like that, they can learn something from gambling by not gambling excessively. And this requires awareness from each person so that they can use gambling only as needed.
550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What ugly incident or occurrence have you ever experienced in gambling? on: January 12, 2024, 09:23:06 PM
I have never had such a bad experience where the equipment I was using was jammed to continue the gambling game. If that happened to me, I would be very upset and probably slam my device down and try to forget about it. Various feelings will definitely arise when you have an experience like that and may not disappear for several days because there is regret for not being able to close the gambling game on time and get that big win.

So far, I'm still fine using my device for gambling. And hopefully, I won't experience something similar like that, so I can still finish the gambling game. The person must replace the device with a new one so they don't experience this bad incident again.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 12, 2024, 05:26:11 PM
There was a friend of mine who visited me a day after and he was saying gambling every day draws you more closer to winning.
My question is do you think gambling every day is better? From his reasoning and points of narrations.

This is absurd. Gambling every day means spending your money every day on gambling in the name of trying your luck. Basically, it's addiction. Playing more cannot bring you more luck and more winnings. You never know if you will win or not. Playing 7 hours a day and 1 hour every day for a week is the same. What is the difference there? Simply playing more cannot bring you more winnings. If someone has won a good amount of money by gambling for a long time, it's just their luck. You do not have to follow them. So, the answer to your question is NO. Gambling every day is not good.
That's true, and not all gamblers can do it because they might face a big loss factor. That's why we recommend not gambling too often, which means we don't need to gamble daily. Instead of losing more money by gambling every day, we should do things outside of gambling so that we don't become addicted to gambling. However, the addiction factor is there and waiting for us to let our guard down so that we will get deeper into gambling and eventually become addicted to gambling. Many people are aware of this, but they don't seem to care and still risk more money to win. Even though winning is difficult to achieve even though gamblers use a lot of money to gamble, so playing gambling every day doesn't get us closer to winning, but we will get worse at gambling along with the addiction that we will get.

Reaching out on a certain wager amount could possibly be able to hit up vip ranks but of course the perks and benefits would be much more into those higher levels compared to lower ones on which it is really that understandable. Just like on what people been saying on here is that its never been that easy to reach up these ranks and it would be just that better that you shouldnt really be that too mindful on reaching out these ranks because we do know that once you do trying out to pursue these levels or status then it would really be just that making you that impulsive
on which this is one of the common methods on where people would really be that playing more just because they are trying out to reach up these VIP levels.
To reach VIP rank, of course, you need a certain amount of bets, which is what differentiates VIP members from ordinary members. The amount of money used will also be very different, so not many people can reach the VIP level or even above. Only people who can use a lot of money to gamble can afford to gamble with a lot of money and reach the VIP level. Rather than being impulsive, it is better for us always to be careful in spending money on gambling so that we can use gambling as entertainment and not reach a certain membership level. If you feel you cannot afford to spend a lot of money, it is better to gamble like other people where they can experience the pleasure of gambling.
553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is the money manager? is it a casino or game provider? on: January 12, 2024, 04:36:07 PM
The casinos manage the money because that's the business they created, and they make a lot of money from losing gamblers. There may be some royalty paid to slot or other game providers every month or year. We don't know how it is calculated because we don't own the casino. But perhaps the casino buys a license from the slot provider so that the casino always gets updates in the form of the latest games from the slot provider. If you want to know the real answer, you should contact every casino you know so you will get it. But I don't think they will answer because it is their secret (perhaps).

Diverse activities can distract from gambling. I think establishing a balance between leisure and distraction prevents bad behaviors. Moderate, recreational gambling should be considered. Its like eating dessert in moderation - the dose, not the poison. Light, controlled gambling may satisfy the craving without addiction. Turning gambling into a controlled hobby is the goal.

Its about altering our connection with gambling as well as deflecting attention from it. Gambling may be fun when interwoven into ordinary activities. Its about making gambling a treat rather than a habit.
If they can build or do other activities that can divert their attention from gambling, they will not think about gambling as often. They will instead keep themselves busy doing that activity. They know that gambling is just entertainment and does not need to be played too often if they do not want to get into trouble. And when they can't do other activities and instead try gambling, it will make them slowly get deeper into gambling. If they don't realize it soon, they will turn gambling into the only activity that can relieve their loneliness.

This is dangerous because they cannot see other more interesting activities besides gambling. Those who initially use gambling as entertainment, over time, gamble too often, and eventually, they become addicted to gambling.
555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: January 12, 2024, 03:24:08 PM

Most cases is similar to this, when there's an event or promotions that being offered gambler failed to read the terms and condition and they just wanted to play and not to be left behind, the problem with that, they don't know what behind the promotions and chances that they will just commit mistake and complain when the house not allow them to withdraw in case that they win the game.

Things where terms and condition is very important, if you understand it well, there's no way that you will be victimized by anything that the house can process under your account.
Yes, that has been experienced by many gamblers who hunt for promotions that they think are interesting, so they forget to read the terms and conditions of the casino. They will only experience problems when the event is over and will have difficulty fulfilling the requirements listed by the casino. From here, they will accuse the casino of cheating or say that the casino did not make terms and conditions regarding the event even though the casino has explained that some terms and conditions apply, so gamblers must follow them carefully if they don't want to get into this problem.

That happens most often and frustrates some gamblers because they feel the casino is cheating them. Well, if they could learn from what they learned, they wouldn't have any more problems in the future. They will try to read the terms and conditions carefully and follow them if they feel the terms and conditions are not burdensome for them. But if the terms and conditions feel burdensome, they will skip the promotion.

~snip~
The gambler doesn’t like to read it,but my opinion was different in this one.Because without knowing the rule how the gambler can play the good game their,it’s more doubtful one.Every casino game will have the different rules and it should be read at the beginning of the game to understand the game at first.So it also help you to understand the real game and build the tactics based upon the rules and game techniques.Not all but some gambling site will try to scam you by saying their rule.In order to avoid such mistakes the gamblers should spend few minutes to read the complete rule of the game and the method of the game.
Reading the terms and conditions of the casino will let them know the limitations of the promotion so they won't make things difficult for themselves. They can also find out how much they have to bet because each promotion has different terms and conditions. But if it is a scam casino, it will be useless because they will cheat the new members and take their money. The new members can only complain about this without knowing how to solve the problem. At least reading the terms and conditions can give them an understanding of not violating what the casino does not allow. They can also focus on promotions so they can get bonuses.

Self-control is very important when playing gambling and maintaining emotions and not being greedy because most people, including myself, sometimes get carried away by situations without thinking about how much they spend.
I think it's not just you who don't think about how much you use, but many gamblers also do the same thing. We can only regret it after knowing the total amount from seeing the remaining money in our gambling account. And if we can make it a lesson for us, we can ensure that it won't happen again in the future because from then on, we will try to be even stricter in managing the use of money. We will not use a lot of money to gamble because we have had bad experiences before, so we really want to reduce the amount of money. So when our friends introduce us to gambling, we don't need to be angry with them because it is our responsibility to be able to take care of ourselves while gambling.

~snip~

I am not quite sure why you are hiding this information from your husband if you are a responsible gambler. I think that your husband should know that you like to gamble. A strong relationship can exist for a long time only on the full trust of spouses. Imagine how his trust in you will decrease if he accidentally finds out about it. There is nothing worse when you find out that your spouse is doing something secretly from you. Think about it and make the right decision.
Perhaps she doesn't feel comfortable telling her husband that she's a responsible gambler. But her husband should know about her gambling activities so that there are no secrets between them. We don't know what will happen if her husband doesn't find out about her gambling activities. Perhaps his trust will immediately decrease, and what's worse is that her husband could leave her because he has been dishonest. By telling her secrets about her gambling activities, at least it can let her husband know and perhaps she can stop gambling with her husband's help. Hopefully, she can make the right decision by telling her husband about his gambling activities.

Yes you are right that mate every now and then are not the same and like what you said if we loss yesterday then there's a chance that we will win today. But if we will loss  yesterday and today still that is not the same cause the value of our loss is not just the same maybe yesterday we loss a lot but today we loss less or else we will win a small amount of Money. In the world of gambling we can not say that we will always the winner. Cause we can not predict the outcome of our bet.
Indeed, the value of the money will be different from yesterday, so we have to be able to control the use of the money so that it doesn't get bigger. You can record the number of losses yesterday to adjust it for today. That way, you can control the number of losses you can lose, which is the amount you can afford. I agree that we will not always be winners in gambling because it will depend on some factors, so we must be aware of them well and will not try to chase that win. It's better if we just enjoy the gambling game. And if we win, we should stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will only feel despair seeing the winning money disappear at the gambling table because we experience more losses than before.

And what it is even worse is that in their minds their actions make sense, which can be infuriating for those that may want to help them to stop, because if they were able to find a way to beat the casinos then the more they gamble the higher the chances of winning, but it turns out that the majority of the methods a gambler may develop to beat the casinos do not work, and they will only find out this is the case after they have lost a lot of money when using all of those methods.
But gamblers who want to try to find a way to beat the casino will not be able to stop gambling because they will keep looking for a way. It will be difficult for them if they intend to stop, but it seems like they will not have the intention to stop because they feel they still want to beat the casino. Of course, that will make it difficult for people who really want to help that person to stop gambling so it might make those people no longer want to help him stop gambling.

~snip~
It could also be, because once he wins, he doesn't realize it and doesn't understand that that was the start of the problem. If he doesn't have good and precise control then it will be easy for him to gamble continuously because he wants to win again.
And with greed dominating his mind, it was very difficult to think straight, even stopping for a moment he might not be able to do so.
Of course, we have to prevent this as best as possible so that it doesn't become a big problem in our lives, because regret will come in the end.
When they win, many people do not realize that it is time to stop gambling but will continue trying to get another win. They lose control of themselves to stop gambling and forget what they have to do after winning. And it is true that at that time, greed will get bigger and control him so that he cannot stop himself from gambling. And when things are still like that, it will be difficult for him to stop gambling, and it will not be easy for him to make the decision to stop gambling. He could only regret everything when he had nothing left but to despair and mourn his fate.

This awareness, is very necessary for everyone that gambles. Actually this is what most gamblers fail to realise , gambling is very very trickish. It will always get you close to winning for you to stake more and puts the thoughts of amounts you intend to win alone in you without evaluating your losses. The losses in gambling is greater than the win.

According to national lottery trust fund (NLTF) Nigerians spends estimated $975million daily on sports betting which amount $356 billion annually So you can see how much people are losing on daily basis on gambling. Gamblers should also focus on how much they loose daily on betting than the winning aspect alone.
If they had some awareness about gambling, they would not find gambling so complicated. They just need to come to a casino, play some gambling games for some time, and stop gambling once they have had enough. It's that simple, but the reality is that not many people can do that because most of those people will spend a longer time gambling, which makes them lose more money. And if they have a winning target, it will be much more difficult to achieve because we don't know when we can win in gambling.

The number you mentioned could be higher because not all numbers have been written down. The number of people who lose when gambling will be even greater when they do not realize that gambling is entertainment. They will still try to pursue victory even though it is difficult. Gamblers can only prevent more losses by limiting their time and money.
