Lots of people nowadays are very comfortable with asking for money to be paid later on even with things they don’t need. Such example is a credit card. Instead of accepting we can’t afford something, we go out of our ways and ask for money from lenders which like you said can be very addicting. You are spending your money but at the same time not really which gives you the illusion that you are not spending any money at all.
It's strange why there are still people like that nowadays, even though everyone knows how to spend money the right way and doesn't need to make things they don't need for themselves. Credit cards are more suitable for those who have a lot of money saved and also don't want to have too much trouble when they want to spend something at a certain time. But I don't think everyone needs this and as long as they are conscious enough about using the card, of course there is no need to bother making one.

No, not everyone knows what money they should spend properly, because everyone definitely has their own desires, one of which is buying what they want even though it's not that important. I think it's not a problem if we have limits, because I think by doing things like that, I think it's a way of appreciating yourself. We certainly need pleasure for ourselves in life, we need motivation to make us enthusiastic about surviving by working hard. and by working hard you will have an income, but the problem is that they don't manage their finances well, they only think about their desires but don't think about other things that might be more important.

recently my friend bought a motorbike, where the motorbike he bought was a well-known motorbike for young people, he worked hard to collect money so he could buy the motorbike he dreamed of, but with his impatience, he opened his savings which Maybe that's almost enough for the price of the motorbike he wants, but in reality it's still not enough and because he's impatient he ends up borrowing money, in my opinion that's not wrong because it's based on his own desires, but what we have to pay attention to is We can be responsible for what we have done, including taking out loans. If we do take out a loan then we must be able to pay it back within a short period of time.

This means that people who succeed in achieving success are those who are not afraid in terms of taking risks and also who are able to take lessons in every failure they have gone through so that in the end they have a lot of experience and knowledge that ultimately leads them to the success they want, I understand that it is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand but the proof is that there are some people who really succeed when they never give up.

Taking anyhow risks doesn’t determine your success, but knowing the risks you do take is what will determine if you will be successful, not because success is not seen in the level of risk you take, but the level of the risk that you succeed on. That is what many find hard to understand, because talking about risk also deals with patience. Even though you take a risk that you know will be a great achievement for you, when you get reliant or think that you will not make it again, you might still lose because no risk goes in vain unless the risk that is normal is meant not for success. Without patience, you will always give up, and when you are willing to take a risk, you don't have to give up.

However taking risks does not mean you will succeed, I am not saying that risk determines success but doesn't success always start with the courage to take risks? Yes, and it is also reckless or even foolish to take risks without knowing and understanding the consequences and also knowing risks is not something that can guarantee your success, it is nothing more than knowing that you know and understand the risks you are taking and not a guarantee that you will succeed.

I've also said before that the likelihood of success is greater when you're someone who never gives up, and doesn't that idea have something to do with patience in it? Of course, never giving up involves patience and perseverance along with a strong consistency in the process, basically and to your point you also said that no risk is wasted which means that it depends on yourself if for example you are able to learn lessons from all the failures that you have experienced as a result of decisions that involve taking risks before then of course you will be able to gain progress in terms of experience and knowledge that makes you more knowledgeable about what to do and what to avoid and also with this you will know about what to do next.

I think saving is better than losing.

You earn money by business  and deposit 5% or 10% of that money rather than losing it by trading.

Suppose you have $100. I think you will be able to earn $10-20$ using that $ in business. But by trading with $100 you are more likely to lose everywhere than actually happened to you.

 Deposit it without trading  with your remaining $45 and think about business .

Beginners who are interested in trading better learn and have more knowledge in trading before starting to trade. If you want to gain trading experience, it would be better to use a demo account first or do it with a real account but use a small nominal amount.

there is indeed a high probability that beginners in trading will receive losses. but the risks can be reduced if beginners prepare themselves well before starting.
the mistake many beginners make is that they think trading is easy.

But the real lesson is when they start their trading journey where they will find many experiences that will be the source of their knowledge, your advice is indeed good by suggesting that we first try to trade on a demo account where indeed I also previously did it in the experimental stage, but actually a demo account with a real account is different, not about features or how to use some indicators but what distinguishes it is in terms of mental and psychological, which means learning to understand how to trade that you can get by learning on a demo account but there is another thing that is also no less important is learning to control your mental and psychological which you will be able to practice on a real account where some people look very tense when trading on a real account while when on a demo account they are more relaxed because they are trading using fake money.

Tension can greatly affect the outcome of trading because in many cases people make wrong decisions due to anxiety and tension underlying the decision making which means obviously trading requires calmness in terms of making decisions. On the other hand the possibility of loss will of course always lurk anyone especially if they are a beginner who does not have much knowledge about the world of trading which means it is vulnerable to making mistakes that can make them experience losses, but if you have strong intentions and determination when the learning process then over time you will be able to develop into a better trader where there is a high probability that you will succeed in achieving consistent profits.

It is a serious matter that will be seriously taken by the company. I won't be surprised if that employee will go to the office and will be lured by the company just to get arrested.

That will be the kind of setup that will happen if the betting company finds out that there's one employee that has became a culprit to the misusage of their funds.

Yes that's right, there is no such thing that companies will tolerate their employees just because the employee is confirmed that they suffer from addiction, because after all rules are rules and mistakes are mistakes, so of course as you said that this is a pretty serious problem for companies and not just companies engaged in gambling because this is a problem that involves misuse of money which is very sensitive.

In the end, the company will still bring this problem to the law especially when the amount of funds misused is very large which can harm the casino itself, firing the person and then imprisoning him is the right decision because he has a very bad personality who dares to take and misuse company money. This incident will certainly be a valuable lesson for a casino where with this happening, they will definitely be more careful in choosing and hiring people, especially in the financial department.

What most gamblers do is that when they lose gambling or lose some money, they try hard to recover the lost money and they plan to do so until they can recover their loss. Gambling will continue. When a gambler gambles with such a plan in mind, he will find it difficult to make decisions and the decisions he makes will go against him causing him to lose more than the loss he is going to recover. Just as it is normal to gain profit in gambling, it is also normal to lose in gambling, so if you can take profit as normal, then you should take it as normal if you lose some money. It is never the sign of a typical gambler that you get excited after losing some money and try to recover that loss at any cost and get into bigger losses.

Yes, we can actually see what type of gamblers are when they lose, what I mean is that we can judge whether they are responsible gamblers or not when they lose which we can see their response in terms of responding and responding to the defeat, if for example they are still in a stable state of self in the note not showing an emotional response then yes maybe we can assume that they are quite responsible gamblers but if for example they respond to defeat with full emotion along with returning to betting with the intention and purpose of chasing defeat then yes clearly I think we can already conclude that they are irresponsible gamblers who come with the intention of earning.

From the scenario you presented above, it is clear that we can call them gamblers who come with the intention of earning so that when they lose they are unable to accept the fact of defeat which ultimately encourages them to chase victory to pursue the money they have lost which in fact you have clearly said that this action will actually only make them experience a greater loss of money. This is what we must understand because I am sure that there is little chance for you to experience the adverse effects of gambling if you come with the right understanding and right because you must always be able to be rational in every decision.
566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: March 30, 2024, 03:12:13 PM
You should really be that responsible on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling. You cant really just that make yourself having that kind of approach on which
you would really be  that impulsive and being that desperate because of the loses that you had committed. Well, its a normal reaction since we are just humans but doesnt mean that you would
really be tolerating it. Gambling should really be that fun and not something that will bring out stress and anxiety or rage upon you. Gambling is something that will give out that kind of
entertainment and leisure. Yes, losing money is never been fun but it is really that part of the game. If you are someone whose really been that expecting something positive
then you would really be ending up on having that kind of frustration on the time that you would really be experiencing loses.

Never ever make yourself that being that too positive towards gambling because if you do expect something positive and didnt happen then you would really just got pissed
and you would really be angry on the things that you are really that dealing with. So better be realistic and be just play according into your leisure needs.

Indeed, we should be able to take full responsibility when we gamble. because it will determine our future, even the future could be at stake if we gamble irresponsibly. Many gamblers who experience big losses or problems that make their lives fall apart may be because they gamble too much beyond their means, including with their finances. When the gambling they do ends in defeat, they don't stop there, but they keep gambling again to chase victory, and by chasing victory in gambling, they will not definitely get a win, but they will only experience losing more money, and also the action. This is not a responsible action, because when you lose at gambling, what you have to do is stop and walk away from gambling to calm your increasingly confused thoughts.

We must be able to think about the negative impacts of excessive gambling. If we only think about the positive or only think about winning, it is not right, because thinking like that will probably only lead us to the destruction of our lives. do gambling appropriately or we will experience life ruin.

Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction? Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.

I experienced this, indeed I gamble every weekend, even with the limits I set for gambling, including the budget and time for gambling. and yes, I keep my gambling activities a secret from my family, because I have my own reasons for that, also I don't want my family to be disappointed with this habit that I do, and it's true that those who know about my gambling activities are my close friends. but I don't know whether he will tell my family about the gambling I did, if he did tell my family about the gambling I did then I won't blame him, because it was my fault too. but here I can still control myself until everything is fine.

Besides, I gamble with money that I earn myself, so I think it's fine as long as it doesn't harm other people, so I will do it if this is a way for me to have fun. even though my family knows I might still do it because I feel that what I am doing is not harming them. If the gambling I do is detrimental to them then I will do research to stop gambling, but everything is fine. so I don't think it's a problem.
568  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: March 30, 2024, 08:55:15 AM
Why do you have to invest when you don't have money to take care of yourself. To invest is to stay healthy and to stay healthy you must have enough to look after yourself. You can't invest when you don't have basic things, you might not have all what it takes to live life but you must have atleast the basic things to survive otherwise you will sell your investment without looking back.

If you are making an investment, you should have a little that you can use to survive or better still get a job to take care of bills because investment don't grow over night, it takes time depending on the type of investment you have made. You can also save for rainy days if must but don't touch your investment.

It's true that if we don't have sufficient finances then it's best not to force ourselves to invest, because in my opinion it's better to invest when our finances are stable. If we don't have good finances then we are not required to invest. Also, before making an investment, we have to be able to look at other things, what if something emergency happens, such as an accident or falls ill, of course to overcome this we have to have money to deal with it and if we don't have spare money, maybe what will happen is selling the investment. which has been done.

Indeed, profitable investments do not develop overnight. Of course, profitable investments are long-term and many people who invest are aiming for the future, not the present. Stable finances have a big role here, because it is not just to maintain the investments made, but to meet our needs and also the bad days that might occur.
569  Economy / Economics / Re: Save while young better than wait on: March 30, 2024, 08:31:24 AM
Well this is some very good advise to give. We must teach the younger people in our life to start to save their money for the future when they are much older.

It is good thing to teach this to the kids we know. I have my 2 nephews and both of them are young, saving money, for preparing for his future. I want to teach them this good thing to do, my father never did this for me.

Basically, we all have to be able to save to welcome our future, because if we don't do it ourselves then who else will do it. Our future is also not regulated by other people, our future is entirely our responsibility, if when we were young we were lazy then when we were old we might have difficulties because we didn't have the savings we prepared when we were young. and indeed many young people don't think about this, they only think about temporary styles. This is not a new problem, but it has become a culture. I think young people definitely think about temporary lifestyles.

Maybe your father had his own reasons why he didn't teach you to save, but even so, when you grow up, I think you will have good thoughts, such as thinking about the future, which you have to prepare for now. Don't let us not think about our future because we weren't taught. If we really want a good future life then we have to do our best when we are young, including saving. This is a small but important role.

Everyone will do anything to fulfill their basic needs, so no matter how much prices increase, they will still buy them for survival.
That's a natural thing and indeed every human being is like that, regarding hard work and ways to get money to meet all needs which continue to increase, everyone has their own way and it must be admitted that for the lower middle class it will be difficult.

It's true, if what goes up are basic or basic needs then what we have to do is buy them because as you said, in order to survive and survive, like it or not, we have to be able to buy them. when prices rise, it is the poor who will be confused, they may lack basic needs and they have to do whatever they can to meet their needs, it is impossible for them to just keep quiet, while they need food or other necessities to survive.

Also, basically everyone wants financial freedom, therefore everyone must work hard to fulfill their needs, including the desires of those who want their life to be complete. maybe the price increase for people who have a lot of income or money will not be a big problem, because they have enough finances so that whatever is sufficient, but what you say is true, this will be a burden on the minds of middle to lower class people, they will be confused when Their finances are unstable and prices increase, but they will not be able to avoid it. They still have to do whatever they can to meet their needs even though there is a price increase.
571  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: March 30, 2024, 07:36:06 AM
Everyone who take loans have the mindset of managing the debts well and not using the loan money on something else but once we took the loan we forget what we promised and change the lane to somewhere else. So better not to take loans at all if you want to avoid all these confusions and if not then you need to dedicate yourself to pay the debt on time no matter what.

not everyone is like that, friend, because there are people who take out loans for things that are not really necessary, such as wanting to fulfill a wish, in my opinion there are people like this, because in my environment there are people like this, they want a different style luxurious to the point that he borrows money to fulfill his style, whereas when he has debt but his desires are not reduced, and when he has money he does not pay it but instead fulfills his desires again. That is a problem of course, therefore if you really want to take out a loan then you have to first see what you are going to do and what the money from the loan is for.

Actually, in my opinion, taking out a loan is not really bad, it's just that many people are in debt because their finances are unstable and because they lose responsibility for the actions they have taken before. It is true that it is better not to take out a loan, but when finances are unstable and we experience a disaster, like it or not, we have to do this with the aim of overcoming the disaster that occurs. This is all about accountability which must be good.
572  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who can you trust more to handle your business, man or woman? on: March 30, 2024, 06:17:50 AM
Men in general have better control over their emotions which makes them good at logical thinking and decision making.
Women in general are better with their social skills which probably makes them good at marketing and building networks.

Those two are important aspects for business growth. I'll most likely put the man on top but there are women that have masculine traits so this is still a case to case basis.

In my opinion, women or men are all the same, as long as their performance is good, but each has their own expertise in their respective fields. like women, I think women have expertise in managing finances, therefore I trust women in the financial sector, because I think women are more expert in this field. There are many women who work in large companies, some of whom are treasurers because maybe the fashion is there. Even men can actually manage this field, but not all men can do it well, so as I said, everyone has expertise in their respective fields.

It also all depends on ourselves, now men are more experts in the field because men in general can do work with full responsibility, it is the same as women when it comes to responsibility. It's true what you said, both are important aspects in business development. Therefore, it can be said that everything depends on the job or business, in the financial sector I would place more women and men in the field.

It depends, there are those who are aware of their responsibilities and change their behavior, but there are also those who think that their gambling is not a problem at all. But I think that it comes back to the individual, in most cases it really changes the gambler's behavior because they think that their responsibility to the child is greater, so like it or not they need to change their gambling behavior.

Yes that's right it all depends on how they think, some are short minded and some are long minded, or what it means is that there are some people who don't think about the bad possibilities that might happen someday and some who don't think in that direction at all, but overall still gambling can be a trigger for problems in household relationships when you are no longer able to control yourself.

As for responsibility, I think bringing gambling into a situation where you already have full responsibility to provide for your family will only add to your burden because you have to meet two allocations of money which are to provide for your family's needs and also to fund your gambling habit, sometimes a person can experience a change in himself to be very irresponsible in his household affairs because gambling has a lot of temptations that can make a person fall into it unconsciously and eventually experience a change in behavior.

Simply put if for example you do not dare to take even the smallest risk then it is better not to get involved in the business world because after all business is a profession full of risk taking in every decision, and we must understand and know that all successful people in the business world always start their journey with courage in terms of taking risks but not without reason and without science as well. Failure is part of the journey and those who have now managed to achieve success are those who never complain because of failure, because failure is not the end of everything but something that delays your journey to true success where with failure you will get valuable learning.

575  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What should newbies do in trading? on: March 29, 2024, 06:35:43 PM
Well, what do you expect from just trading? You expect to make thousands of dollars without any losses? Yes it can happen, but it's very rare. After all, that's what trading is like. Sometimes you get bored, and sometimes you count your losses. However, when you keep trying, maybe you will find the right way and strategy for you to use. No matter how much you listen to other people's opinions, the thing that determines profits or losses in the trading you do is your decision. Well, if you still want to try, then keep learning. Nothing is easy to achieve success, especially in trading.

Overall everyone expects profits in the world of trading and indeed that is the purpose of our involvement in this field, but what we must know and understand is that trading is not a quick way to make you rich but rather a profession that can help your financial situation get better slowly and but if you already have enough flying hours in the sense that you are experienced enough then you can get wealth in the world of trading but still you need time which may be long enough to first go through the process.

The problem is that there are some people who are too focused on profit opportunities but they are not willing to go through all the processes that exist in the world of trading which makes them act carelessly and only rely on hope and feelings and I say that if you trade by relying only on feelings then it is tantamount to gambling that refers to luck. As you said above that when someone continues to try with strong intentions and determination in his learning period, it is not impossible that one day you can become one of the successful traders when you have managed to find a fairly accurate strategy from the results of the learning you have done and the process you have passed, it is true that trading is not easy because the possibility of risk is always there, therefore trading requires qualified knowledge and experience, you will be able to get it when you are able to be patient and have strong determination and sincerity during the learning stage.
576  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: March 29, 2024, 05:53:31 PM
Whatever we do publicly or privately has its advantages and disadvantages. Gambling is a game that has been privatized due to the recent integration of online casinos. So, people won't know if we gamble unless we open up to them. And nobody goes out on the street screaming that he's a gambler. As you said, Iroh, players only tell people they think should know, close friends or family. Sometimes the winning could be so outrageous that the player will unknowingly tell many people, out of joy, that he won big in gambling. There are cases like this where people wouldn't mind unveiling their gambling attitude. It has some advantages, especially in times of difficulty or problem gambling.

Those who kept their gambling habit a secret from everyone would have a hard time telling people when they've got an underlying problem. Talking to people as suggested is fine, as they'll serve as a watchdog on our behavioral change. This doesn't mean the whole society should know about this, we all deserve some privacy. Keeping such thing as gambling a secret, makes it sound like gambling is banned in the country. In a society where gambling is accepted, gambling platforms are built in all corners of the street. What is there to hide or keep a secret? It wouldn't hurt the people around us if we told them about the attitude. I don't see anything wrong with sharing the information. It shouldn't be a secret.

Found some good points that I support in your post. It isnt necessary to yell on the street "I am a gambler! I am a gambler!" But it also isnt necessary to cross the street or try to ignore the question "Do you gamble?" when somebody asks. I am not keeping in secret that I gamble. And I dont welcome people "Hello, my name is TopTort777 and I gamble". And you know what, I have never had any trouble or any kind of harassment from not hiding that I gamble. I see only disadvantages of hiding such hobby and see no advantages.

Btw, would gladly listen to any advantages of hiding gambling hobby. (opinion from those where gambling is illegal does not count).

Honestly I'm glad to see and read your statement here which is quite funny but obviously you said everything right my friend, and not keeping gambling activities a secret doesn't mean we have to announce to others by shouting in the field that "I'm a gambler", people might think that you're a freak, meaning that there are some people like you who don't keep gambling activities a secret but it also doesn't mean publicizing it intentionally to the public eye or like when you introduce yourself to other people you just met.

So far you haven't had any problems even though you don't make it a secret that you are a gambler when someone asks you, and maybe I would say one of the reasons why some other gamblers prefer to keep their gambling activities a secret like lying when someone asks them about whether they are a gambler or not, The reason is because they are afraid that they will be claimed as having a bad personality for being involved in gambling regardless of whether they are responsible and sensible gamblers or not, especially when they are in a country that does not legalize gambling which as a whole is usually a pretty negative view of gambling in addition to the fact that people may already know about the bad effects of addiction itself which can make an addicted person harm others such as in the case of borrowing money, theft, or cheating. I understand that it is possible for society to have a bad view of someone who is identified as a gambler regardless of whether the country prohibits gambling or not, but the point is that there are some people (gamblers) who are too worried about themselves when they don't keep their gambling activities secret, because when society has a bad view of someone, it can eliminate trust in social relationships.
577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: March 29, 2024, 05:33:44 PM
In some cases, people who are addicted to gambling can become desperate and resort to criminal activity to fund their habit. Just like a case I read came across on the forum, where a man went as far as kidnapping one of his relatives and demanded for ransome, just so he could fund his gambling career but thankfully, he was apprehended. And that's how far most people can go just because they wish to fund their gambling addiction.  This can have a ripple effect on society, leading to increased crime rates and other negative consequences. Religious leaders often discourage gambling because of these potential effects.
Yea, of course gambling does more harm to people than helping them financially. Most people that are gambling are doing so for profit which will always make them chase their losses and become addicted.

When addicted, that gambler becomes a burden to the society because he can do anything to get funds for his gambling activities. Also it will destroy the future of that b person, if he is not able to come out from his addiction. This are some reason why most religion forbids it.

Yes, it is true that overall gambling will actually harm a person more than give them a positive impact on the financial situation in their lives, but unfortunately only a few gamblers realize this and most of them still have the belief that gambling is a quick way to get rich, or they believe that gambling can overcome the financial problems they are experiencing by trying to take advantage of the winning opportunities that are there or simply we call them gamblers who come with the intention and purpose to earn regardless of whether they are experiencing financial problems or not in their lives.

However that is a very wrong belief and belief because I think we should have a simple understanding of what gambling is which is an activity that bets your money on two possibilities at the end of the session between winning or losing, anyone can never know whether they will win or lose at the end of the session because there is nothing that can be used as a way to win for sure and this is why we call gambling a game of probability which means it always depends on how lucky you are at the time of running the session. We should always be worried about addiction because it is clear as you said that when we have entered the addiction phase then various negative impacts will destroy our lives in various aspects.

All companies engaged in any field, of course they have their own rules where all the rules are for the good and progress of the company that is being run and if you ask about whether someone who is addicted who works in a casino is not in question if it turns out that they are misusing company money then obviously that is another thing, I mean the rules are still rules, nothing to do with whether they are addicted or not and there will also be no tolerance whatsoever from the casino to just because the employee has entered the addiction phase, in the sense that the law will still be applied.

Because after all the actions taken by the employee have harmed the casino where they misused company money to finance their gambling activities driven by addiction, after all they work there where they will get a salary and also of course they have agreed to follow all the rules in the casino about something that is allowed and something that is prohibited, so I think addiction is not an excuse to make them get tolerance from the casino regarding the mistakes they made.

There's no such thing as a mistake in gambling because it's all abstract anyway, or in other words you'll never know what makes you win and what makes you lose, so there's no mistake but carelessness because I'm sure you wouldn't say it was a mistake if your session ended up winning, would you? And there is a possibility for you to try it again because you might think that "it seems like the right action to bring victory" and all that is said is that the mistake in gambling is when you break the rules that you have made yourself intentionally, and also losing happens not because you made a mistake but this is what is called gambling activity.
Well, I think this is subject to context.
There are context in which you might approach the topic and it would seem so, that there are no mistakes. For example; if we were to look at it on the bases of how a person makes his or her analysis to predict the result of a game. Mistakes could very much come in play here as greed could push you from what is plausible based on available statistics to focus on the gains by taking more risk.

If we are to consider a context where, we put gambling habits or behaviors to the forefront, you would find that several gamblers cultivate behaviors that could only earn them more losses and that in itself is a mistake that gamblers make. Most of them know this but, it’s just way too difficult to not chase your loss.

Yes, I agree with you that if we talk about "mistakes" in gambling then it will depend on the context that is being discussed, and regarding the example you conveyed about someone who predicts by analyzing based on reasonable data then when they see that there is a great potential for victory at the end of the session from the statistics they refer to then yes there is a high probability for them to make a mistake where the mistake is that they try to put more money because of the urge of greed that actually exceeds their limits, And this is indeed a mistake because no matter how good the analysis you do based on reliable statistics, the possibility of losing is always there and can never be avoided which usually makes someone depressed when the results are not appropriate.

On the other hand I think overall more gamblers cultivate bad habits in gambling that they should actually avoid, such as when you chase victory to reach the recovery phase due to the inability to accept defeat in gambling, and usually mistakes like this are always based on the intention and purpose of earning in gambling which instead of earning but instead you will only experience a significant amount of defeat.

I am sure that winning will always be one of the biggest motivations for someone to maintain their involvement in gambling because after all getting money for free is a fun situation and I also admit that it is true, but there are some gamblers who are neutral or in the sense that they don't care much about winning or in the sense that they have no expectations of winning at all and come only for the sake of getting fun when they are in a fairly boring time.

For me gambling is nothing more than a useful activity to fill my free time on weekends without putting excessive expectations on winning which sometimes I feel bored at gambling which in turn makes me return to withdraw the money I have deposited, but if in the end I am lucky and manage to get a win then I will prefer to cash out immediately. However, there is nothing forbidding you to gamble as long as you are able to treat gambling in a way that is appropriate and that is advised by common sense by many people, or when you understand that gambling is a risky activity that should not be done excessively and should only be done in moderation.
