The fun is widely written on the player's face, for everyone to see. When you look at a player you'd know if he's happy for losing money or not. Hence, what matters is the amount of money he lost and the strategy he's utilizing in the game. However, it always feels like losing in gambling is wrong, but it's wrong, losing is a part of the game, and should make gambling fun. If we never wagered money while gambling, no player will be sad for losing. A player who knows his game plays happily till his session's duration is exhausted. Note this, his duration, not his funds. Gambling shouldn't end our funds, instead, we should end the game when we choose. That's the importance of running a strategic test and understanding what works or not for us. So how we feel after losing money is a choice. When I do lose money, anger hunts me, but I decide whether to accept it or not.

The outcome can't be changed by our feelings, no need to stay sad. Whatever a player thinks his happiness matters. I'm happy that fun gamblers are doing a great job in circulating the message of perceiving gambling as a fun game. No need to neglect the truth and follow the other message that says we can earn money via gambling. I think a player wins both emotionally and financially when he's gambling for fun. It's not about the money, but the feelings. Money must be spent, forgotten, and gotten again, but our emotions can hurt us forever. Thereby causing harm to our thoughts and gambling habits. If a gambler wagers a smaller amount of money, he'd feel fine losing the money, as it's not big enough to change his mood. In a nutshell, fun gamblers don't play out of greed, instead, they tend to enjoy the game and learn other skills it provides to their brain.

Sports have multiple betting techniques, a gambler can decide to stake on corner kicks or substitutions, which increases their opportunities of winning. Although gambling has to be specific, the gambler needs to specify which team does substitution first or not. But it looks easier to win on this decision. The varieties for staking money are much on sports games compared to slot or casino types of gambling. Where the gambling only depends on the house's choices and how they programmed their machine. However, gamblers who play strictly sports, have their ways of losing like the slot players. Sometimes it looks like the casino controls sports, as well. Matches can be strange, in the UEFA EURO game yesterday between Georgia and Luxembourg, a goal scored by Luxembourg was canceled after they equalized the game.

Such things demoralized viewers, though I didn't stake on any team, but it shows how cruel football matches can be on gamblers. After feeling happy for a moment, the goal will be disallowed. The slot doesn't work this way, once you win it's counted and never getting removed. It guarantees that joy is here to stay. Not some games that are decided by officials, in some manners that look strange. A gambler needs to be sure he lost or won in a game. Having doubts in him and blaming officials for being biased doesn't give the gambler the complete fun he deserves. Casino games are between the player and the house, he, the player, only requires self-control to scare through with lesser troubles.

Gambling works this way, and it's a nice feeling to win when we least expect it. That's the aim of most gamblers to earn money while having fun. It's the definition of fun gambling. While betting on games the right thought is to accept whatever outcome that shows up from the game. No player is meant to think he'd win, definitely. Hence, gamblers must choose this kind of gambling habit, thereby reducing their anger when they lose. What actually affects the facial reaction of gamblers is the massive losses. In a casino, you'd see gamblers leaving the house very angry. It's a sign of gamblers who thought they'd win but later got a loss in return.

Such feelings or outcomes as you said "Bayu" can't be repeated, yes, but, given time, if a gambler continually stays responsible and enjoys his games, he'd, one day, win again, like previously. The only difference is that he won't win again immediately. The mistake of new gamblers, after winning, is that they want to win again, instantly. It's wrong and creates in them the urge to chase losses. The moment they lose they try again, till nothing is left in their bankroll. The best joy in gambling is winning out of luck, not playing aggressively to retrieve our lost money. It doesn't make a player feel happy, even when he wins using this process. Because he's lost enough trying to win, then the current win won't amount to a better profit, as he's lots plenty while chasing a loss.

Sometimes when gamblers realize they're addicted, concealing the habit from close ones will creep into their mind. But it's common amongst players, at the early stages of addiction, they'll never accept help from anybody. The task is on the people around him to closely observe the player and find out if he's addicted, already. Because these addicts are skillful at hiding the problem, little changes added to their behavior should be honestly questioned. If he recently started to stay indoors more than usual, he may have been locked in his thoughts of gambling. Talking to him about his recent change of attitude can get him talking. No need to go straight to the point, this must be cunningly done.

Maybe after a long-lasting conversation, which he enjoys. Then hit him with the question, of why he's been acting strangely, and let him know the importance of communicating with people around him. And why he shouldn't isolate himself, the disadvantages of isolation can increase his problems, if he has any, that sharing with others can help save him from the fight. These few effective added conversation questions will easily get him thinking and may involuntarily say things that can be traced down to addiction being his internal pains. However, the whole process must be planned to near perfection. As it's a brain or emotional strategy of investigating if a gambler close to us is now addicted.

Limitations are a nice idea for gamblers and will help anyone to excel in gambling. The problem revolves around self-control and discipline. Gamblers, find it hard to realize why they can't stick to the limitations they made available for their good and financial stability. However, they forget it's an actively steady action that shouldn't be neglected. Lossing can help a gambler erase his limitations from his thoughts. The urge to continue gambling consistently occurs in the gambler's mind. Hence, he may not get hold of himself anymore, as he needs to get back his funds. Addiction sets in the moment a gambler is no longer in control of his behavior. The addiction level increases gradually, and the player forgets every single financial target he has to practice.

I prefer that naive gamblers get a coach who'll guide them on what to do or not. Gambling urge remains what it is, players need to focus on becoming responsible at all costs. Imagine the pain addiction puts on an entire family or society. It's something we have to be careful about. Playing on our own self-promises can be dangerous, many players have tried this and failed. Read lots of gambling books as a gambler and realized how hard it is to gamble alone, with no mistakes that could lead to addiction. Having a gambling buddy can help us cross-check our behaviors in the form of examining the fresh habits of one another.

If the conversations don't align with that of the gambler, then it'll be hard for the gambler to comply with his therapist. That's why it's crucial to reason alongside the gambler. Whatever his strategy is, he should be left alone and watched. Then, along the line, he can gradually be taken out of such thoughts and changed entirely. The mistake with such people, addicts, is that they get affected by the statements of people around them not aligning with his reasoning. They'll only be your friend if you think and claim to act like them. And the goal is to achieve a good relationship with the gambler. This happens with everybody, we only love those who think like we do, and then they can influence us easily.

Arguments don't help good relationships, compared to effective conversation. Hence, the person who is working on helping the gambler needs to be careful not to get carried away by the lifestyle of the addict. As it's a long-term healing process. We all need to figure out ways of dealing with psychotherapy, it'll go a long way to save addicts. I had a conversation with a friend who is related to a drug addict, she said they end up disagreeing with one another because she tries to caution the addict. I told her, the point is to have a good conversation with him, because the victim, also, thinks he's right. Building a relationship that'll make him want to be around us is very crucial. At least, someday we can chime in our thoughts slightly until he starts to think responsibly. These problems are not easily solved by the victim, it's not simple on their end. So, we must not rush them, that's why Psychologists tagged it as a long-term healing process.

The two elements self-acceptance and discipline are crucial in the healing process of an addict. Fighting addiction is so hard that it requires extra humans and effort to help the addict. An addict's feelings can be contrary to that of his acquittances and helpers. Thereby, building up the toughness of the fight, then take up years for the battle to be over. However, nobody is brilliant enough to know the fastest method of healing an addict. But, with a collaborative effort everyone wins. Society gets to receive funds from the addict, instead of losing it to the casino alone. When an addict stays around us, it affects everyone. We must endeavor to change them, so it won't escalate to other citizens of that locality.

When people around gamblers are against problem gambling, lots of responsible gamblers will be birthed. Lack of limitations and external help puts many into addiction. No teacher to enlighten the naive players on the risks of gambling recklessly. However, the gambling community is working hard online to level up the understanding of the problem and responsible gambling. A lot of people need to know this because many are following the addiction route every day. Hence increases the addiction rate each moment. Gambling proves that we reap whatever we sow, if a player plays recklessly, he'd continue doing the same thing for a long period, and then face lots of troubles. The same applies to playing responsibly.

Underaged gamblers would be their biggest buyers, and that's risky. The casinos can't trace this or figure out if an account has changed hands or not. However, selling a casino account is wrong, but the account business has been on the rise since the emergence of social media lifestyles. Hence, people now have the urge to purchase accounts after getting banned or not eligible to use the platform. Such things can't be stopped. Provided the buyer utilizes the account very well and doesn't break rules he'd be in the casino forever. Moreover, the casino is focused on tracing people who go against their terms of service, than those who purchase accounts. The risk is on the buyer, yes, but in rare cases where the account is flagged for some reason, caused by the original owner. He could lose out on his deposit and balances.

Though it's wrong in all ramifications, underage players wouldn't mind going through this route, to be eligible to enjoy their habit. There are other beneficiaries of this account-buying business, those who sell data, and create accounts in bulk, then the marketers and resellers. Since the market has been established it'll be around for a longer period, regardless of the risk. Buyers and sellers wouldn't stop trading. Addicted gamblers who got banned from using a casino can also utilize this service. I learned that the casino that banned him works as hard as possible to see that he doesn't gamble elsewhere, because of his addiction. Hence, he's not eligible to run KYC using his date anymore. Online casinos are getting broader each day, and gamblers are eager to achieve their goal, the jackpot.

Gambling addiction is easy to harness if a player isn't capable of controlling his actions. Responsibility includes being able to accept the losses as we do the wins. When a player loses money and insists on winning back the exact money, he'll easily get addicted. Hence, financial status or working class could be tagged as a contributor, but that's not to be generalized. Gamblers with a good source of income, still fall prey to problem gambling, due to their inability to control themselves towards chasing losses. When a gambler is not concerned about making money he'd have a better gambling experience. Winning money helps in bringing us back to the casino, but not all. These days players have learnt their lesson and chosen to gamble for fun purposes. It feels better than ending up sad after losing out in the name of chasing money via gambling.

As you said, Su-asa, it's a big fat lie to make enough profit in gambling. The disagreement comes into play in line with jackpots. But delving deeper into the concept of a casino's jackpot will take up lots of time to explain. Marketing is one aspect of the jackpot idea. Yes, it looks like the winner has been made financially, but it's not completely favorable on the gambler's side. The casino gains bigger profits due to this, because gamblers who disagree that gambling doesn't guarantee financial freedom, will jump on the jackpot cruise and gamble away all their funds, hoping for the day they'll win it. When someone else wins it, the desire increases, thereby fetching more funds to the casino. Remember the winner doesn't get satisfied, he'd go back looking to win another jackpot. It's quite deep and shouldn't be stressed. What matters is staying responsible.

Getting emotionless isn't the goal, controlling, at least, how it affects our thoughts is the point. We can't go, all, emotionless. It'll affect the brain of the person. Concealing our pains, won't heal the injury. It puts a thorn in the flesh of the player or gambler. Where he may not figure out ways to treat his pains. Dealing with it is better than claiming it never happened or existed. Trying to know ways to handle the emotional problem helps the player to get over it and adapt to the right healing method. However, gamblers must be emotionally intelligent to embrace their emotions. Not everyone is trained to think like you did, on your write-up. Growth is a big factor in behavioral change. They may have been trained to bottle up their emotional problems.

Changing such an adult may not be simple. However, it's helpful you stated this, for players to understand their emotions. A player who neglects his emotions may feel he'd never achieve his goals in gambling and another life target. Consistent emotional tensions can lead to depression. Lossing all the time feels painful and erupts the thoughts of rejection on a gambler. Thereby enlisting the periods of losses on his brain, whenever he's alone, and helpless. In a nutshell, the lost money should be moderated, and the limits shouldn't get bypassed. Thereby, enabling a minimized painful thought on the gambler, he may not have to bother with his lost money anymore. As it's not enormous to get him worried, emotionally.

Gambling addiction is chronic, and its healing process consumes time. Nobody undergoes this process with no long-lasting trauma. Unless the bond between the addict and his friend isn't strong, they can forgo the painful thoughts of the healing process. Therapists due to work and one rule that states, "remember you are not the cause of the player's trouble" don't stress themselves thinking about the pains of the addict, added to it, the therapists don't spend lots of time with the addict. Unlike a loved one who worries over the wellbeing of a friend, and may spend nights and days with him, he'd undergo lots of depression during the period. For the rule stated above, it's not right that a friend suffers pain or gets affected by a gambler's addiction. The healer is free and wasn't the cause of the trouble. Although we are humans, and lots of our thoughts are reflexive, we'll find ourselves getting worried over it.

That's why referring him to a therapist is a superb idea. Because the pains don't register in the therapist's brain, he's the right candidate for handling the healing process. However, not everyone is capable of paying for a session, an alternative method plays a vital role. This is the idea you wrote above, letting him remember that he's loved. Telling him he's wrong may not work, hence trying to teach him his game is not effective. Concealing our intentions works best, working alongside him to guide him will build an interpersonal relationship between the gambler and his friend, to a point where the addict, depends on his friend for advice and gambling techniques. The goal is to let the addict lead the process, then hijack his thoughts or strategies and replace them with ours, as a friend.

First off, they'll find themselves in problem gambling. They'll face too many struggles while on their gambling journey. Disappointments, depression, self-doubt, and emotional tension revolve around the player's thoughts. A gambler who gives in to the fact he'd be rich via gambling, figure out later how bad his life has become. Many get reminded by friends that their lives are getting worse daily. The gambler may never notice this in his entire days of gambling. He focuses on generating money for gambling. Neglects other important aspects of his life. His troubles get beyond his understanding at the moment, he can't provide funds for gambling. His productivity may have dropped drastically, wherever he works.

It's disappointing, yes, but the fault goes to ignorance. They were introduced to gambling in the wrong way. Imagine a gambler who joined the niche, because he loves Bruno Mars and tries to do whatever he does, including wearing similar tattoos. He'd go into debt. The reason or enforcer is crucial. Most players who got into gambling problems had the wrong orientation on gambling. That's why they act the way we see them behave. The attitude is not out of their control. Hence, a third party or friend has the responsibility to drive them away from the habit. They need someone else in the driver's seat of their life.

The house edge is against the gambler, with only 2% of profits being among the best in the market. A gambler doesn't have enough chances of making profits off the house than the house does on him. Hence, gambling is a place to lose money in return for fun, not funds. People should better remove the letter "D" and focus on playing for the amazing leisure gambling offers to gamblers. Anything else is an act of chasing losses. The game portrays wins on the winning dashboard and doesn't show more of losses. The big losses are not shown to us gamblers. This is a sign that the house is after the money and works hard to psychologically manipulate players to continue trying. (Players in this context, are those who are in the game for money) If all the losses are shown on the leaderboard, they'll be no space to show the wins.

While they watch the leaderboards of funds issued to gamblers, they'll try harder to win too. Why the casino does that isn't asked or questioned by us, it's mainly marketing. Nobody hears about it when one loses lots of money gambling, like when they win a jackpot. The casino tries to advertise it on different platforms. We only see on social media about people who lost millions gambling and end up not believing it because an influencer posted it. Gamblers trust the casino a lot, not bad, but in a game as uncertain as gambling, one shouldn't invest all their time, trust, and money, and expect more money. That's a nightmare. Nothing feels bad like not reaching or getting what we had in mind to achieve. A colossal amount of gamblers swim in a pool of disappointments, because of their expectations. Only a set of gamblers don't get manipulated by the house, the fun gamblers.

The team is an important factor, not all teams are worth such risk. But as you said he did that out of love for his team, he didn't analyze the game. Yet he won. That's a shocking part of the story, he'd feel better and happier. I think that's what gambling is about, doing what others won't think of trying. People who gambled on Man U to win before the game started may have lost hope after conceiving two goals. Another factor is that he had to prove it to his friend. I've made such a statement in the past, but didn't wager on the prediction, but the player scored as I said to a friend.

Most times when watching a football match, the settings and performances of some players, a viewer will easily detect who will score or not. Maybe the same thing happened to the Op's friend, he has observed some moves from his team and had the trust they'll win, regardless of the scores. Gamblers need to follow their instincts, not all the time. Most times we feel like a complete failure after appearing fully sure of a specific prediction, which ends up returning void. It's a win-or-lose thing, but some mistake ends up getting annoying. Imagine after telling your friends, a particular player will score, and he didn't. They wouldn't listen when next we want to talk to them on a game. However, gambling is a risk, and we must accept it.

The gambling rules or strategy centers, mainly, on self-discipline. Society would think that only jobless or irresponsible gamblers borrow to participate in gambling. But, any player, like mentioned above, will make such a mistake. Reasons may differ, but the goal is more money. But, going into debt in gambling to clear bills or win big to pay for a debt is a deeper level of trouble. However, the celebrity may settle his debts after all his business is set and done. Yet, it'll keep him less financed for another big move. He owes a huge amount of money. He'll have fewer amounts left to clear those bills. Moreover, the problem would be on his fans and followers, who may try what he did, or use him as an example for getting in debt.

He's more like a streamer with people who trust and look up to him for life lessons. If celebrities, openly get addicted, because I'd call this addiction, and eager to win money, gambling. It'll affect lots of naive players who have nothing left on them to try out the method being portrayed by these celebrities. Not knowing that the star's team will take care of his troubles and that he could be free from addiction. Unlike his followers who may not have anybody to look into their fight. This is deceit. However, it remains the follower's fault who tries to mimic whatever their role models do, good or bad. I think influence is a big factor to consider when discussing gambling addiction.

I think he was overexcited that's why he had to wager back all the money he'd won that day. Sometimes, when we get excited it leads to mistakes, even in events not relating to gambling. We find ourselves making promises we may not have made in a normal emotional state. Hence, gamblers get excited after winning big with a smaller amount and tend to try more and win again. However, once a player gets emotional in his games, it should be attributed to losses. Greed as you said, also plays a role in affecting the wins of gamblers. There are stages to how gamblers react in gambling. If a player happened to have lost all his funds, he'd get emotional like a player who had a plan for his funds but gambled them away.

These thoughts running through the brains of the gamblers affect them emotionally, and it's more like a reflex action. That's why you wouldn't understand or realize why it's happening. To boost back the emotions to get stable, a gambler needs to have some fun elsewhere. Gambling doesn't make him happy anymore. Hanging out and playing fun games will revive the player. Although he'd still go back to gambling, his state of mind will be better, provided he gets enough fun, after experiencing an emotional meltdown via gambling. They're players who boost their emotions through gambling. Due to the fun, they gain while gambling. When they get demoralized, maybe, elsewhere they'll come home and gamble for fun and get happy. Being emotional all the time leads to depression, then addiction. So, players who are now getting emotional should work on it and stay safe.

Great idea, angrybirdy, talking to people about self-control with no lectures on ways to achieve it is a waste of effort. When a person isn't prepared to practice what he's been taught, he'll will fall prey to losses, while gambling. Since no service is available, everywhere, to handle gamblers on self-control, gamblers need to do it themselves. Players who invest time in deep learning on self-control, won't forget easily to maintain strong self-control in gambling. The process every gambler faces in gambling happens quickly and they move ahead to catch up with the game. Not realizing that it's quite difficult to make up for the expectations we had before starting out for the day.

Players with self-control will easily figure this out and focus on stopping the session and waiting for another moment. While the naive gamblers would chase it till the bitter end. Where they'll have nothing left on their bankroll. The urge to chase this loss is quite strong, and gamblers must be prepared to get hold of their emotions. As it's in control of this urge, players also need to master how it works. Staying intelligent emotionally is more crucial than picking games to book. Gamblers are easily broken when they're losing. And they won't control this because they're lost, already, and play only for the sake of getting back what they've lost. Erupting new troubles for the player and more heartbreak.  

Risk isn't meant for folks in a specific financial status, anybody can choose to follow the risky aspect of gambling. However, it's not easy to gamble as a low roller and wonder about the right time to make a risky move. The high rollers, consistently wager huge amounts of money, thereby opening opportunities for winning big. Both the high and low rollers, need to be watchful of the game to determine when is necessary for a risk. So as to win a reasonable amount. Unless the gambler is focused on wagering a small amount, he's not meant to go higher than their usual wagering amount. Players who have in mind to hit it big, can try once a while for luck and see if it'll work out.

While the high rollers have a better chance of being called the risk takers, they also make loads of mistakes. Due to the impulse in them that pushes or drags them to wager more, due to the amount on their bankroll. Gamblers need to be smart and principled on whatever strategy that suits them. No need to go hard for what isn't easily reachable. The odds are against the players, casinos don't care who is rich or a low roller. Many rich folks lost a lot in their quest for huge money via gambling. Some ended up in debt. Gambling isn't fair for any player; hence players must be observant of the type of mistakes that await them. High rollers also must respect their limits and obey every reasonable strategy they use in gambling.

The question would be if your friend would do that for another team, for the sake of gambling. However, that's patriotism and passion for his team. Personally, I wouldn't do that considering the analysis of Liverpool players, it'll be hard to accept that they'll lose out on the game. And Man-U his team has been performing under average recently, which isn't the right decision for anybody. His instinct was quite right and accurate, thereby, igniting the feeling in him to do that next time. Gambling is fun when supporting our team, regardless of how down bad for scores they are on the pitch. But we all need to do that sparingly so, as not to end up losing all our funds. One may have seen that and would want to try it out. Which is a bad idea.

I could remember friends being laughed at for betting against their team. That's wrong from the perspective of other gamblers. Yet, if one feels his team wouldn't win, he can stake against them and win. Instead of ending up feeling sad about the game, entirely. The team lost and his money was gone. So, players shouldn't be blinded to wager only in favor of their team. They also need to check the strength of the other team before wagering lots of money. That doesn't change the fact we are a fan of the team. It's just what people around us would say and laugh over it, but what matters is our emotions and money. Being real to the game, and not just picking sides, even when they're losing.

You are right, a gambler feels better spending his money on other utilities than wagering it on the casino alone. After the game, he wouldn't feel nice or better. So, if a gambler is sure he wouldn't make any other significant win, after winning or losing, he should take a break and rest, as any further moves will result in more losses. No idea about gambling is accurate, no matter how adequate it looks. Gamblers need to understand this and focus on being careful about their spending limit. A player with a limitless gambling habit, ends up risking all his money and may end up broke in the game. However, players who depend on the casino for wealth don't care about this, they go ahead gambling with no prior knowledge of what they are doing. Which causes them to chase loss and get addicted in the process.
