What do you mean you haven't heard of successful gamblers who are happy? Look up their names on google. There are a lot of such gamblers and most of them are engaged in gambling professionally.

If we talk about gambling on borrowed money, then only an irresponsible person can do so. Play gambling should be only on the money that you are ready to lose immediately. Otherwise, gambling will only bring you grief.

I think most people are not ready to lose the money immediately and that is why such people hide from the shame and the fact that they don't accept it as a fact,they don't accept in gambling you can lose it all in an instant and as such they fail to be in peace with themselves.Unfortunately nowadays most people are in this category and are not successful at all in everything in life,something which is also reflected in their gambling sessions.

I think it is quite simple to say that what you are saying is that they are irresponsible gamblers or they are losers who just want to win but are not ready to accept the fact of losing as you mentioned, and when they lose they cannot accept the fact of losing. On the other hand, maybe they are gamblers who do not have the right understanding of how gambling really is, they only see from one side, namely the opportunity to multiply money but do not see from the other side that however gambling will always be an activity that has risks which will make gamblers lose at any time.

And yes I admit that now the majority of gamblers are those who see gambling only in terms of opportunities to multiply it, so it is natural that in the end they experience many downturns such as losing significant amounts of money, and this is why a gambler must always apply a lot of caution and do a lot of consideration before making decisions.

Indeed, if by chance you already have that chance better to take it especially if you are not willing to regret your decision after the game, I guess there are differences in a certain types of a gambler, there are some who are willing to submit to any kind of risk even they have the chance to take whatever the cashout option that's been provided, while there are some that very practical in terms of taking profits, they are in the kind of sure win instead of waiting for luck which is not always at the side, better to take it and cashout while you still have the opportunity to enjoy your sure profits.

Yeah your right that mate  it's better to take it or cashing out the money before it will gone cause we are all know that once we are in winning streak and we fins more win then there's a chance that our luck is over and then we will loss all our money. So it's better to be safe in gambling once we are too lucky and win a good amount then still we bet but if we loss in one bet then it's better to cashout.
Anyways we have different perspective in our life so what are the decision that we made then that's a good choice nothing to blame.

That's right, because after all that's the best decision we can make, and I hope we are all fully aware that gambling will always be about winning and losing which means that even if for example you manage to win and if you continue then it means that there is a possibility for you to eventually experience losing the amount of winnings that you have just obtained, and I think there are many people who have experienced this which in the end they regretted because they lost the winnings that they had previously managed to get.

We must understand that luck will not always come in the way we want, meaning that applying greed to get a larger number of wins will not always be successful and this is why it is always recommended to withdraw it as soon as possible before the session ends with regret.

Several changes Call since from the 1919 gambling and nowadays, it is totally different from what you think it is because gambling of today has an online presence, the casino and a lot of options and different sites has come up in the sports betting and order betting companies that is easy to understand and the application is different from the physical shop so a lot of changes it is also going digital and it is different when looking at it the gambling is more understandable than the gambling of the 1990
I agree with you, there are many changes from gambling that are displayed in the present era, but it must be remembered that with easy access to gambling, there are so many negative things that must be avoided, because with easy access to playing gambling, many teenagers fall into gambling.

Yes, it's because times are getting more sophisticated and technology is getting more advanced where many things that don't make sense but are real because of technological ingenuity, and a small example is in terms of gambling where now everyone has the convenience to gamble, not having to go to a physical casino like in a few years ago, because only by using a smart phone or laptop connected to the internet then you can gamble anytime and anywhere as long as you still have money. Although online casinos now make it easier for all gamblers to gamble but I think that if the context is gambling, it is still precisely with the current situation that we must be more careful, because with this kind of convenience, it can clearly trigger excessive actions, such as gambling continuously without putting restrictions on time and budget, and the worry is as you said that with this convenience, it is likely to be able to make everyone including young people fall into gambling and that has been proven now that the population of gamblers is increasing, especially in my country.
64  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: May 18, 2024, 05:29:44 PM
I think it's a matter of confidence and stability than who should risk more, normally we would favour the rich cause he has more than the poor but some poor or average persons even risk more than the rich, so I think confidence has a role to play to determine how much we are willing to stake in a game.

sometimes it's a matter of insanity too... if a person is nuts, regardless of their total bankroll they'll do crazy things with their money
since crazy things happens sometimes there'll be a case with one person betting all they had and 10x overnight... not the healthiest situation but for sure it is thrilling...

what do you think?

True, there are other factors that can make a person go overboard when it comes to treating their gambling activities, and for this matter it does not depend on whatever their financial situation is in life, or in other words, rich or poor can fall into this crazy category, which means that they will most likely gamble and make decisions blindly or spend everything they have in one go.

What this means is that gambling is about who you are, no matter if you are rich or poor, and the point is that if you engage in gambling by bringing the wrong way or approach then that is what will lead to the potential for many disasters, simply put the rich can become a bum and the poor may become crazy, and I think this idea is enough to tell us that if we talk about gambling then it really depends on how the person treats his gambling, or simply put your decision will determine your fate in gambling as in terms of the impact you will experience regardless of rich or poor.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ? on: May 18, 2024, 04:59:21 PM
Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ?  If not, how much you think is sufficient to retire as Gambling winning ?

This question is very funny but I don't think I will retire after winning, when I win, I will want to win more and by winning more, I will have to invest again, that is why it's called gambling, the zeal for one to get more it's there especially when you are winning, even if it's not immediately but later after leaving,you will still come back to try again, although it can make some people becomes an addict through it but once you notice you can't do without it, you immediately see for support or help.

That is natural behavior of a gambler  Grin,we want to keep gambling even more after we win because greed is deeply installed in our human nature and there is nothing we can do against it.However no one has retired with gambling earnings from this forum so far otherwise it would have become a very well known phenomena here and all the people would be talking about it,especially gamblers,kinda like the Bitcoin Pizza Day which is an even everyone of us here remembers well during the month of May in which we are in now.It would be very smart if for example someone won 2 million dollars and to use that money to retire for some 20 years spending 100.000 dollars a year which translates to a comfortable life even in the most developed of countries,USA.

True, greed is something that exists in all people naturally, but for the problem of whether they will apply their greed or not it all depends on their personality, because the fact is that there are always some people or who apply their greed and there are also those who are able to ignore their greed, and this is not much different from emotions which to overcome it depends on their own abilities, And I would say that one of the things that can fight it is depending on whether or not you have the right understanding of gambling, because in some cases usually those who always apply greed or emotions in gambling are those who only know that gambling is a place to earn and they don't realize or understand that gambling is a game of "possibility" between winning and losing.

On the other hand, I have also never heard of a gambler who retired because he managed to get a big win, I think it is a decision that is really very difficult to achieve, because everyone always needs money or will not feel enough with money so most likely when they manage to get a big win then what is more likely is that they will resume gambling with confidence and higher expectations to be able to get a bigger win.
66  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: May 18, 2024, 04:39:04 PM

But one thing we have to remember that even though someone has become a professional still for the problem of generating winnings they have nothing more than a chance and we all have the same chances as them even though we are just ordinary gamblers or beginners, meaning that professionals are not a guarantee to always be able to get a win, in the end it is still the same as us, but they have different ways and methods where they always act with full calculation before finally making a decision.

That's right, when it comes to winning or luck when playing gambling, casinos don't look at the level of rich or poor, experience or beginners are the same in the eyes of the casino, yes, because gambling is luck, all groups of gamblers cannot predict or guess whether they will win or lose. and casinos do not force gamblers to set betting rates, but rather how brave they are in placing bets and of course casinos have a high risk that most gamblers often lose more than they win.
And for that reason, as gamblers, we really have to take the right actions so as not to make any wrong steps and reduce the negative impact as little as possible by maintaining good control.

Yups and I think that's the real fact that even though a gambler is those who have experience but still it will not really affect the results of his gambling, still the possibility of losing will always be able to happen at any time, or as you said that the casino does not see whether you are rich or poor, and actually we don't need to think too far because gambling is a simple thing to understand that if you are involved by betting any amount of money then you will end up with one of two possibilities at the end of the session which is between winning or losing.

On the other hand I would say that one of the reasons why more gamblers lose than win big is because from the beginning the casino has set up an algorithm where the percentage of wins is much smaller than losses, which in addition to the majority of gamblers always treat their gambling activities excessively so it is only natural that they experience more losses than wins. In the end, yes as you said that a gambler must have the right planning that they must prepare from afar before finally being tempted and falling into the wrong approach.
67  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens on: May 18, 2024, 03:51:49 PM
The question was if I agree with this and the answer is: it depends but probably no.
I feel like children are already overwhelmed with the amount of useless stuff the government is trying to teach them, like all the sexual education, gender pronouns, ecology and now they want to teach them about gambling? Isn't that interfering with the basics that parents should be teaching their children? There's knowledge children should acquire at home, for instance if the family is religious it should educate children in that matter, but now schools are trying to teach religion. This is a waste of time and money if you ask me.

Overall I believe the first thing is that schools don't really care about something that is not their job, or I mean they will only teach something that is common in schools that can improve a child's skills and knowledge (regardless of whether the child can understand it or not), and also as you said that a child is already overwhelmed with learning, most of them always feel lazy when it comes to everything that has to be learned.

On the other hand, gambling is not something that everyone should know about, although the goal is good, namely to prevent a child from getting involved in gambling by telling them about all the consequences that can be caused, but it is a fact that a child who is still underage is still unstable and still has a lot of curiosity. This means that isn't it better not to tell them about gambling at all? Obviously, because a child who is still underage will not think too much about the impact, simply put if they are curious then they will do it, and this is why for gambling problems it is better to return to the parents, or it means that it is better for parents to overcome and prepare about all forms of prevention.
68  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you realize you need to be a responsible gambler so you can continue ? on: May 18, 2024, 03:25:30 PM
I am responsible but it pushes me more when I see situations when someone can't be reached with how they're responsive with their addiction or just simple bets that have been made. I have to be responsible not for anyone but for myself.

And with that, I can continue whatever I want to do be it in gambling or any other activities that I want to do alone. Because if I can't be responsible on this matter, I probably can't do the same thing to other things that I do.

So, it's a good measure on how to become responsible so that I won't end up badly and to keep things balance for myself.
Responsibleness doesn't only applicable the gambling but when you applies it in all things you do especially in your daily routine then you would get accustomed to it even though you are gambling at least you would know how to go with it even without becoming addicted to know someone isn't responsible gambler.
One must not go get bad in their gambling exercise before they could know they aren't responsible, even as that when you began to see yourself in an usual ways then that person should know that they literally just going on the wrong way which they need draw back their attention to something more better or to recall how they started before getting to the situation they are currently with this it's very easier for someone to know they are actually going the wrong ways.

It is true, responsibility is something that is needed in life or in everything we do that is related to decisions, and one of the reasons why a gambler is always advised to have good responsibility is because gambling is an activity that requires a gambler to make decisions regarding the risks they will take, This means that decisions in gambling are always related to risk and because of this why gamblers are always advised to have good responsibility, namely so that they can be responsible for whatever the results of the decisions they have made, and maybe you have often heard about someone who always advises to only bet small amounts, the reason is because it will help us to make it easier in terms of applying responsibility.

On the other hand I think it's difficult to really be aware of whether they're doing the right thing or not, or whether they're being responsible or not, because gambling is very tempting and there are a lot of things that look tempting that can sometimes make a responsible gambler fall into impulsive decisions, and I think for this problem it comes back to how they understand gambling, if they understand that gambling is nothing more than a game of "chance" that involves risk then I believe they will be able to become a responsible gambler without us having to tell them.
69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling losses are traps to new game on: May 18, 2024, 02:49:28 PM
Whether you trust the algorithm of the game that you're playing or not, you're probably not going to be able to do anything anyway because you're still going to play. Maybe if it's proven to be rigged then you probably have an answer to it like a complaint to the people behind that casino, but that's rarely the case on this one because the way these casinos rig their game, they still make sure that you still have the chance or so they like for you to think. Maybe the reason why we think things are rigged is because we just can't fathom that we're losing so much money whenever we gamble that we need some form of mechanism that would make us think that there's some tangible forces behind that's conspiring to make you lose money.

Well there are way to check if casinos are provably fair, but I doubt everyone here is doing their due diligence because we all know that gambling is based on pure luck and if we lose then we might as well shrugged our shoulders.

Which means we might not be concern of our losses as we might be thinking that we can go back the next day and see how our luck it. Maybe it will be very different as the last one and this time we are going to win big money.

Can you tell me about how to check whether a casino is fair or not to the gamblers? I've never heard of such a way so far, and I don't think it can ever be done if your goal is to get results in gambling. No need to be too complicated buddy, simply put only luck can lead us to victory, meaning that we can never measure whether the casino is fair or not in terms of giving winnings to the gamblers involved, because that's like you are looking for statistics about the luck that is in everyone while as we know that anyone will never know when he will be lucky to win, meaning I think there is no justice if we talk about winning in gambling, the point is that if you are very lucky then you will win more often than other gamblers.

On the other hand, not worrying too much about the losses that have been experienced maybe that is a good mindset, but however we should not put excessive expectations on the next try, because however the results at the end of the session now will never affect the results at the end of the session on the next try, meaning that it does not mean that now you lose then tomorrow you will win, we must understand that the results of gambling are not influenced by history in previous results, still anything can happen including losing again.
70  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: May 18, 2024, 02:23:10 PM
On the other hand as you said about gamblers only having a 50: 50 between the chances of winning and the possibility of losing, and if you gamble by using a strategy then maybe your chances of winning are 70% but still the rest is luck, or that means 30% of the rest is luck which means that still if luck does not come at the right time then of course you will lose.

Yes, I support what you say, I have always said that strategies help in some way, those who are playing in a constant game if they do not vary their strategy and play in a very flat way they will surely lose, that should not be doubted, it can happen, However, I have to see something, we are generating more and more money and we like what we do because we try to see everything that can be won, some players somehow say that there is no possibility. It's worthless to earn more with strategies, in fact they say that strategies are useless, that is something I respect but I don't share, for me there are possibilities of doing things better with strategies.


Yes it means that strategy is nothing more than "helping" and not "ensuring" that you will win, and if you are playing in a haphazard way in the type of game that requires skill such as sports betting then yes maybe you really need luck to be able to ensure victory, I can't say that you will definitely lose if you play without applying any strategy because obviously the key is always in luck, especially if you are playing in the type of game that really relies purely on luck such as slots or dice or something else.

As we understand and as I said above that strategy only helps increase the odds and not ensure that you will win, meaning that luck is much more important than strategy, and this is the reason why sometimes even though for example you have a very good strategy and skills but you lose at the end of the session, and this also reminds us that the name of the bet is still a bet that will always lead to one of two possibilities at the end of the session which is between winning or losing.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: May 17, 2024, 08:50:50 PM

Experienced gamblers who manage to work on their gambling activities use that advantages in preventing addiction, they setup the limits and by the experienced they gain around they now that staying with the set limitations allows them not to risk a lot, though there's time that they still overexceed from the set limit but they immidiately cope up and stop.

The key factor is to follow whatever you setup and always avoid following your emotions, which mostly put you in deciding something that you might regret after.

Yes, experienced gamblers are likely to remain consistent in maintaining good control when playing gambling and they also know the appropriate and wise rules to follow when playing gambling and I agree with you that the main key is that as gamblers we must be sure and follow the method. what is in our hearts and minds, with this we will be able to learn to analyze well and also be able to control our emotions so that they remain stable.

Of course because after all and in any case when someone is experienced it means that they already have a lot of knowledge which makes them someone who is trained in the field which indirectly gives them the knowledge of what to do and what to avoid. It is a fact that gambling is a "contingency" activity that tends to always be risky and we often hear about many gamblers who end up going down and I believe one of the reasons why a professional gambler always prioritizes various precautions such as keeping their emotions stable is because they have experienced various adverse effects when they were not able to control their gambling activities before.

But one thing we have to remember that even though someone has become a professional still for the problem of generating winnings they have nothing more than a chance and we all have the same chances as them even though we are just ordinary gamblers or beginners, meaning that professionals are not a guarantee to always be able to get a win, in the end it is still the same as us, but they have different ways and methods where they always act with full calculation before finally making a decision.
72  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens on: May 17, 2024, 08:30:21 PM
Honestly speaking we have to consider the teens off the game for gambling, they should be more focused about their education since they aren't working yet to be earning and are still dependent, as parents, we also have to be mindful of the level of exposures given to our children at some certain stage, its not a bad thing if we think about changing our environment before of such influence on them, we must watch over them and guide them in other for them not to be exposed to things that may cause havoc on their growth and way of life aside the one we intend for them.
Students in highschool should focus on their studies, gamble isn't a thing any student should focus on and needs school aside. From the beginning of gamble, it shows gamble isn't a thing anyone should focus in when he/she have some other important things to do. Gamble is what anyone that's a gambler should do when he's less busy .

Of course because only learning is what is the task for all children when they are at that age or when they are still in school, there is nothing better than focusing on the various studies that are being studied, although on the other hand maybe they only make gambling as an activity for fun but still it is not the right age for someone to get involved in gambling. One of the reasons is obviously because when someone is still underage then surely they will not really be able to think with common sense and make careful considerations to produce truly rational decisions, meaning that most likely they will only lose more money and develop themselves to enter the addiction phase faster, and one thing that we always worry about is that gambling can threaten their future because it can somehow change their personality to be very bad.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you realize you need to be a responsible gambler so you can continue ? on: May 17, 2024, 08:10:11 PM
Looking at the current result of the poll, many people claim that they are responsible but my question to them is "did you guys vote it with honesty"  Grin Kidding guys, it is good to see that you are responsible person. I was not responsible person when I was still newbie in gambling world and I started to realize it when I lost some money but I keep on repeating it until I got married. Since that time I have someone who is keep advising me anytime I do something which can lead me and family into something bad.

To be honest, I don't think we can really know the real facts about their approach to gambling. Maybe there are those who always say that they are a responsible gambler, but in fact they are aggressive gamblers and usually lie to protect themselves from various things. negative criticism from people, and there are always people who may always be honest with what they say. But yes, as I said, we really can't know for sure what the truth is.

But yes, however, the best advice is to gamble responsibly, because this is the only best approach that can make us a little bit spared from various bad possibilities when we cannot deal with the emotions caused by loss. In the end, it is a fact that the majority of people have to experience adversity or pressure first to In the end you did the right thing, and from your case I don't know whether you lost a significant amount of money or not, but fortunately there was someone, namely your partner, who indirectly helped you before you fell further.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An aggressive gambler irrelevantly easing his Irresponsible gambling manner. on: May 17, 2024, 07:50:57 PM
We cannot win a bet while gambling aggressively, that is not a pattern to use for gambling at all, it will rather destabilize a lot of things which could have been coordinated into something else beyond our expectations, we must not allow that our personal character influences the way we are gambling because such will definitely affect the kind of benefits we may stand to gain from gambling, just as its expected of us to gamble responsibly.
It is lack of understanding that makes people to develop attitude like this, for one who really knows that gambling is unpredictable and to win is as result of luck will never have this aggressive nature while gambling.  People like this still fail to understand that being aggressive while gambling won't change anything , instead it can even cause one to even lose more. Gambling is better when it is done without any emotion or hard feelings because winning is as a result of luck. When people have understanding that gambling is all about luck they won't allow their emotions to control them while gambling.

Exactly, I agree with your opinion that it all comes back to themselves, or what I mean is that it depends on how much they understand about how gambling really is, because obviously if they understand the whole about how gambling is then I'm sure without us telling them then they will also automatically do things according to what we always suggest such as applying a lot of restrictions and gambling carefully, and I will tell you that when you are aware of all the facts that exist in gambling then most likely you will prioritize various things that lead to preventive measures.

Because as you said that after all gambling is a game of "possibility" which means there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee for anyone to always be able to win at the end of the session, and as we know that gambling is a risky activity, meaning that obviously winning only depends on luck while when we are unlucky then obviously the result is that we lose. I agree that being aggressive can never change anything especially the result at the end of the session, and it will only lead yourself to the possibility of losing a larger amount, and finally, someone who understands how gambling really is will certainly not dare to do things that are done without rational consideration beforehand.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the main points of gambling? on: May 17, 2024, 06:57:29 PM

The main point to playing gambling can be make money but that will be a wrong decision because gambling is not a place to make money. People can playing gambling but with limitations and moderately so they will not lose much money and can stops gambling in the right time. They will not chase the wins because they knows that will be difficult to them so they just playing gambling to enjoy their time and will not lets them lose much money. They can be wise while playing gambling as they knows that gambling is part of the entertainment so they can knows how to treat gambling as well. Besides that, gambling is just a game that will have two result which can be wins or loses so they will accept whatever the outcomes in gambling and will not trying to recover their lose in gambling.

I just think that for one to play in a casino what one seeks is to win money, not to lose, to lose because it is the safest option we have, that is why we have to play with caution, but on the basis that things can be done from another point of View , since it is fun and Everything that is talked about, it is also valid, the important thing is that if you lose a lot do not try to win by betting more money to recover what was lost, because that is what is achieved, is that lose more than normal, every time you play like this it is very unlikely that everything will be lost, it is very difficult for the person to Recover , I do not recommend it.

Yups I support your idea that we can't seem to hide from the fact that all gamblers come because of the attraction of making winnings in gambling, or winnings is what makes people come and gamble, and also I think we all agree with the idea that everyone doesn't like losing, But gambling has an element of opportunity to give a certain amount of winnings to all gamblers involved and this is what attracts people to come and get involved, they assume that they will be able to make a lot of winnings, but what they don't know is that all gamblers are only given a 50-50 chance by the casino between winning or losing so simply put you can win but you can also lose.

The mistake most gamblers make is that they come and get involved but only focus on the chances of winning but don't seem to care much about the possibility of losing which is always a given when they are unlucky. On the other hand it is a fact that winning in gambling is always dependent on luck so it is only natural that if a gambler overdoes their gambling activities then they end up losing huge amounts of money because luck will not always come their way. With these facts, it is clear that this is the reason why gambling is more recommended to be used as a place to seek entertainment without any excessive elements, and I am sure that if someone knows in full about how gambling really is then he will always act carefully, such as applying many restrictions.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Naturally Chase loses in gambling.. on: May 17, 2024, 05:20:27 PM
The the list of reasons why people chase losses I would like to add such effect: when people gamble, they want to end their session with a win, with a round or solid amount on the balance, they often make that "just one last bet". I catch myself doing such things from time to time. When I am about to finish and I see that I have $49 on my balance for example, I play one more round to make it $50. If I lose, I try to get back to either those $49 or make another attempt to get $50. This process can be repeated several times, and I think this is the reason why people keep on gambling and loosing.

I like the way you put it, and I honestly think it's a reality-based opinion. On the other hand of course there are quite a lot of reasons that make gamblers chase their losses, whether it's because they have lost so they want to return something that has been lost before, or like you said which I think the scenario is very funny where we have managed to get a number of wins but when the winnings are in odd numbers then usually there is always a feeling and desire to make the amount even, which as you said if for example the amount is $49 then usually there will be a desire to round the amount to $50, and this is where the funny thing is that while on the way to chase the $1 so that we can reach the winning amount of $50 it turns out that the test comes, or an unwanted event occurs where the game actually goes very badly which can actually make us lose most of the amount we managed to get before, and honestly I have experienced this scenario several times. This means that scenarios like this can also be a trigger for someone to chase their losses, hence the reason why putting excessive goals and expectations on winning is always not recommended.
77  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: May 17, 2024, 04:56:58 PM
One thing I know for sure, no one can help you more than you can help yourself. There is nothing wrong with gambling but, there is everything wrong with being gambling addict. Even some gambling site do ask of you, to gamble responsibly. That’s to say, you shouldn’t be addicted to gambling but even so, the gambling site don’t get to draw the lines for you. That’s up to you to decide where you can call enough!

as you said, people need to set limits so that they don't get addicted to gambling due to excessive gambling. usually casinos provide several features that gamblers can use to regulate their limits, such as deposit limits, self-exclusion, etc. these are features that can help gamblers if they think that they cannot regulate themselves. these features really help gamblers and prevent them from playing excessively which can cause addiction to them.

Of course there's nothing else you can do but put a lot of restrictions in place if you or anyone else doesn't want to end up addicted, but I think it's really only you, or I should say only you, who can help you avoid any unwanted possibilities. On the other hand I have never heard of some casinos advising gamblers to act responsibly and gamble in moderation, although it may be true that there are some features that can be used as gambling limits or exceptions but still if a gambler comes back excessively or gambles without time limits, or after losing he returns to deposit then addiction or losing a larger amount of money can really happen.

And on the other hand I'm sure that all casinos have the same goal which is to make a lot of profit from a lot of losing gamblers, meaning that the more gamblers who go overboard the more likely it is that the casino's profits will definitely be greater, and I'm sure this is what most casinos want, and maybe you've gotten some messages to your cell phone number from casino officials advising you to gamble immediately with the lure of big wins or bonuses.

True. Rich people won't have a problem when they lose small money in gambling. They just have fun with gambling although they also expect to win the games. However, since the rich people have enough money, they never try to gamble excessively and chase the wins whenever they lose in gambling games. It will be different if people who have limited money and they are gambling. They must expect to win the games because they dream to get the money from gambling to improve their financial condition. But gambling will never be the right solution to get regular money and no guarantee to win huge money in gambling. Sadly, when the poor people lose money in gambling, they have no enough money to survive. This trigger them to play more excessively with loan money. The bad impact of this habit, the poor people can be trapped on the loan money. It is because they are unable to repay the loan. Also, they will be addicted because they will be very often trying their luck in gambling.


Actually, the thought of winning creates excitement for me and when I happen to lose and try over again and again, this feeling of excitement turns in calculations and suddenly, my seriousness level rises to the point that once I snap out of it, I simply find something else to do.
Hence one reason why I remain un-addicted to gambling and I only do so when I have no where to go or when am not so engaged or am just passing time by trying not to think so much and so deep or sleep off too soon.

I see that you have a good goal of doing various ways to stay away from addiction, but on the other hand I disagree with the way you have because I think it is precisely the way that will only make it easier for a gambler to enter and fall into the addiction phase, namely as you said that you have an approach where your mindset is always focused on winning, However this is a mindset that is better avoided when you become a gambler because after all winning will not always be able to happen according to what you want, and if you have thoughts like that then it means you will only lead yourself to significant disappointment because from the start you only focus on winning while gambling is always about winning and losing which victory cannot come only by relying on confidence.

On the other hand, I understand that winning creates excitement, but if the win hasn't happened yet and you already have excessive confidence and excitement in the journey of pursuing that win then indirectly that thinking will only make us feel more disappointed when it turns out to be a loss. Another thing is that I support your idea of only using gambling as a leisure activity when you don't have anything else to do.

Actually there is not much we can do to bring victory, because of course as I said above that only luck can ensure that you will actually win at the end of the session, whatever the strategy and whatever method you use when gambling I will say that these actions will never be able to guarantee your victory at the end of the session, unless luck comes at the right time, and anyone will never know when luck will come, so this is what makes us always advise about it is better to gamble with a sufficient budget and not put too much hope on winning.

Simply put, if luck comes at the right time then you will win, so it's better to gamble with the amount you can afford to lose, don't overdo it because losing will always be a definite possibility when you are unlucky, and it's also better to focus on various precautions such as putting a lot of restrictions on the budget, time of involvement and expectations of winning, because as I said whatever you do can never guarantee winning completely, and by focusing more on precautions then obviously we will be a little less likely to lose significantly along with avoiding the possibility of addiction.
I have picked a lot of things from this comment and I also expect some gamblers that doesn't know about this things you just said to better learn from the comments now. If I am not mistaken, I have seen some discussions here when some gamblers in this gambling section are saying that winning a bet depends on the strategy the gambler used for predictions. However I think that's from his/her own knowledge but to me I don't think that the guy is correct because from my very first day experience in gamble I have noticed that for a gambler to win a bet, he should only pray for luck and nothing else because only the predictions and strategies can not help anyone to win if luck isn't there.

Yes and I think what I said above is true because I said some of these things based on my own experience as a gambler who has been involved in several types of gambling for more than 2 years, and that is what I can conclude from the results of rational thinking above. the experience that I have so far, because the logic is that there is nothing that can bring victory other than luck if we talk about activities or games that cannot be predicted at all or you don't know what the results will be at the end of the session, and you have also experienced it and prove it for yourself from what you have experienced as a gambler where you agree with what I said above that in fact overall winning in gambling depends on how lucky you are during the session.

On the other hand, I also hope that gamblers, especially those who always overreact in pursuit of victory, will read the facts I convey above. I think we cannot lie to ourselves about the difficulty of winning and I am sure that you or anyone here has experienced it. you lose even if you use various strategies that you think are good and have brought you victory in the previous session, but when you try again it turns out you lose, and that means it is clear that only luck can really lead us to a definite victory, and one more thing what we have to understand is that luck can never be known when it will come, meaning you will not know when you can win, so this is the reason why I said previously above that it is better for us to focus on implementing various methods to minimize the possibility of losing. significant.

Yes, but whatever strategy and however good they have in the end, they will never be able to guarantee a complete victory, because after all, gambling is still gambling, meaning that even if for example you bet on a type of bet such as sports by applying a strategy that you believe that there will always be some sessions that end in disappointment. One of the reasons is that we never know about what will happen on the field that might make the team you bet on experience problems so that the opportunity to win becomes smaller which indirectly the situation can also make you lose the bet you have started. This means that no matter where you bet a gambler should always have the understanding that gambling is always about a game of chance between winning or losing, or meaning that losing in gambling will always be a possibility, meaning that there is no reason for a gambler not to take responsibility for the decisions they have made if they will not feel too sorry when the results are not suitable.
On which it would really be better that you should really be thinking up that there's no assurance that you could really be able to win up all the time because once you do have this kind of mentality about being a winner then it would really be giving out that kind of desperation will really be kicking in and this is something that wont really be that good when dealing with gambling. Strategies is really something that make those odds better specially if its really that needing up some analysis or needing up some strategies to make those winning chances way more higher rather than on making that complete guess
specially on sports betting. Making our own strategies is something that will really be depending into someones knowledge, so it would really varies.

True, having a winning mentality is good but if we are talking about gambling then it is clearly a big mistake if we apply the winning mentality in a place that is always about winning and losing, and the reason I think is clear that there is absolutely no guarantee or certainty in gambling to always be able to win in every betting session, meaning that having that mentality in gambling will ultimately only bring yourself to a lot of possible dangers because most likely you will always take various actions to pursue victory, while on the other hand as I said earlier that however in gambling defeat will always be a possible thing.

Or simply if you have a winner's mentality or too much confidence in winning then it's just like you are pushing yourself into the addiction phase, and yes if we talk about some types of bets that require skill analysis such as sports betting actually the skill is nothing more than something that is useful to increase the chances of winning but it does not mean that it guarantees that you will win, in the end it remains unknowable and I have said before that there are always various factors that can occur that allow you to lose, and yes for the skill problem as you said that it is quite dependent on the knowledge of the gambler himself.
