61  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thoughts on Video game gambling addiction? on: March 08, 2019, 12:58:43 AM
Video games are loaded with aspects of gambling and people of all groups and ages play these games in modern times.  Many games have things like loot boxes that you pay for to random prizes, Runescape has the duel arena where you can gamble gold against one another, and there are many more examples.

People may start off with video games and then eventually move on to higher sums gambling in real casinos.  What are your thoughts on this matter and should anything be done?

Well, just like other type of games we usually play, it is already being associated with gambling even with the normal games so we can expect that when in comes to video games online or even offline, there is such possibility that gambling can be involved. It is just easy to be solved. Always have your self-control and be mindful that it is just a play that we do not need to be pressured and get to be so serious because a game must be played and not be a cause of problem and we must let ourselves to play the game and do not let the game deceive on playing with us because most likely if that thing happen, you will be leading into the path of addiction. That is why upon playing into an online casino I a currently into, I tend to keep reminding myself that my aim is just to have fun s that I will not exert much money on it to play the variety of games they have and not to chase my lost if ever I did win on the game I played plus I enjoy the great bonus they offer once you have done your first deposit.
62  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem: Lost today $2000 on PrimeDice on: March 08, 2019, 12:44:02 AM
All started when i deposit $300 today and start with small best $50 $60 etc
I always play for %50-60% chance. i had nice luck and turned it into $500 .thenI was thinking I'm  unbeatable and bet %70 chance on $500
and made around $840

Then i was planning to do the last bet and bet and I bet %70 on my $840 balance and lost everything. :/

After i was in real down but i was still positive cause i had $1200 on my Bitcoin wallet.

I wanted to make big profit and get back all the lost and never play again.

 and did it %50 chance on $1200 balance and lost everything :/

what a shitty die i want to die :/

That is why self-control and contentment is really a must when you are playing gambling. You have already noticed that you are lucky playing to play with small bets but because you wanted to earn a lot more money from it, you started increasing your bets and all of a sudden you lost all what you have already earned because you did not have that contentment of what you currently have in mind. All of that will not happen if you are just mindful of taking your game play that slowly but surely so that i ever you lose the game, you just have a small amount of money taken from you. Also, you have said that you seek to retrieve the money that you lost even the amount you have is still much bigger than your lost that is why you have lost everything instead just a part of your money. That is why whenever I am playing into an online casino I am currently into, I tend to just keep the consistency of my bets for playing their variety of games so that if ever I lose the game, I still do have a handy in my account and I will not tend to chase for my lost because it will just take me to play all over again that might lead me to addiction.
63  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: God of winning be with all the gamblers in 2019. on: March 07, 2019, 07:02:47 PM
Hard to said this but we must be truth to ourself.  Gambling is the most risky among all the investments ventures and it is really very difficult for you to continue making profits.  I believe that currently we should not hesitate to make this prayers that God should put his favor on us and for us to keep making many winning trade than 2018.

Well, it seems like you are not only depending your gaming play just into the luck but you are also seeking guidance through tough prayera to God which is most likely the best thing to do in the middle of the scenario we are currently into. I hope and I wish that may God be favorable to answer your prayers so all of us will benefit. That is why I tend to pray also before and even after playing into the online casino I am currently into to somehow guide me not to fall into addiction from playing the variety of games and have luck in playing which is I am glad because I can totally manage having fun and enjoy playing as well enjoying the great deal of bonus they offer as a welcome reward for doing your first deposit on it.

We all do wish, hope and pray for that thing to happen that sooner or later, prices in the crpypto market will stabilize at a high price wherein we will all benefit. Many people are seeking for guidance from God for the luck to come in every game we play because like you, I am also do that before and after every game whatever the result is but I do also believe that if it is really meant for you, it will come unexpectedly. I would like to try my luck into the variety of games you were talking about into that online casino you have said and I hope that luckily I would win even at sometime around.

It seems like we do all have been praying, wishing as well as hoping that despite of the downfall that the crypto community is experiencing right now, we still believe that sooner or later prices will be regained so that all of us will benefit. Indeed, luck really come unexpectedly so more or less, try and try but still with proper moderation. You can check the online casino I am currently into and see if you will be that lucky to win with the variety of games they have.
64  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Favoritism vs Addiction on: March 07, 2019, 06:46:08 PM
Am not really a full time gambler but I'm a player, and if gamblers are addicted they'll have some favorite games to play, then what about the player who has also their favorite games can we really tell that they're also addicted to that certain game?

Huh

I was little curious about this earlier, for I have seen some replies / feedbacks on my previous post that seems questionable to me. Only positive thought can be given, any negativities will get deleted

Actually not all gamblers are addicted in the first place which is a common misconception of many people. Then, addiction is different from favoritism because addiction is playing in a sense out of control in which he plays in no moderation and like treating gambling as a part of his life like he cannot barely live without him playing gambling. While on the other side, favoritism is playing in proper moderation in which even he have a favorite game he plays, he can stand on his own playing it on the right frequency, it is just that game is what he plays all over again at different time frames. Well, they might be link to each other if favoritism for a game goes out of control which makes it turn out into addiction. That is why whenever I play into the online casino I am currently into, I keep in mind of having my control on the favorite games I play from the variety of games they have on it so I won't come into an end of me getting addicted into the games i usually play.

Addiction and favoritism are real different and apart from each other because favoritism in terms of playing gambling is sticking into a certain game he usually play because he find essence and interest as well as enjoyment enough for him to always play that game. While addiction seems like trying and playing variety of games seeking for a way to earn, chasing losses which sounds that it is a playing attitude which is already out of control and proper moderation. But indeed that on some cases, favoritism can lead to addiction once favoritism being applied on a game became obsession on playing it out of control. I would like to know more about the variety of games you were talking about in that online casino for me to be able to see if I will find an interesting game that will suit my preference.

Indeed. Those two are really far away connected from each other and distinguish two different type of player in gambling. But favoritism can lead to addiction once the gaming behavior has turned out of control. You can check the online casino I am currently into to see the variety of games and see if there are games that will suit your preference.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever stopped or removed from casino on: March 07, 2019, 06:33:45 PM
Kindly share your experience if you ever being faced situation where either you where not allowed to enter the casinos due to either improper attire, age verification issue etc.  Also anytime till now have you being removed from the casinos? It could be due to any of reasons e.g - Misbehaving or fighting, getting high and creating ruckus, caught cheating etc.

Share your true experience if you ever had to face any such situations or related to it any incident that occurred with you.


I was travelling abroad and happen to visit casinos but i was in flip flops and as per the rules a proper attire was must. I was not being allowed inspite of me explaining I cam from abroad and will be leaving tonight and was not aware of such policy etc. But they where strict with the rules and I had to return back form their.



That was awful that you have experienced that scenario like you were being pushed away from the casino just for not having that dress code they have based on their policy. Maybe you have just get into a classy casino wherein players are from a high valued society that is why they have strict restrictions based on the policy they have set. Well, it is just good because it is according to the rules. In my case, I haven't experienced something like thar because it is just like 2-3 times I have gone into a casino in which I first do a research for what to wear to avoid such scenario because on my part which maybe you have also felt, it feels shameful because all you want to do is play but they didn't even allow you to enter just because you are not wearing the desired clothing for their casino. That is why, it is totally convenient playing virtually like in an online casino because there is no such code restrictions. You just have to be at the right age and then you can play the variety of games they have conveniently and an opportunity of receiving a welcome bonus for doing your first deposit.

It was not just awful but also shameful because it is rude that you were being push like you do not belong because of what you wear on going into a casino. But I haven't experience such scenario and I do not really want to experience such even for once because that will be my most unforgettable moment in my life and it will cause me trauma literally that I won't try to get into a casino once again. But good thing I always check the house rules of every casino I wish to go before I get into going into that place to play. I think I want to try that online casino you were talking about because of the convenience and as well as there is no restriction like what you have said and I want to try also the variety of games you were talking about.

Yes. It really cause a trauma if you are the one who will experience it because it will be one of the most embarrassing moment in your life that you were being stopped or removed from a casino because of not following the rules especially with the dress code that is why it is a must have to check the rules of the casino you were going to avoid such thing to happen to have a better gaming experience. The online casino I am currently into is really convenient that the only restriction to play is that you must be in the proper age to enjoy their variety of games as well as the opportunity to receive their welcome bonus once you did your first deposit on it.
66  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the house always win???? on: March 07, 2019, 06:17:27 PM
You have any method to share for win against the house?


What is the best way for bet and win against the house???

Please comment and let us know about it...

I think there is no such standard way on how can you win against the house it is all just by luck and a sense of strategy based on your guts once you are already playing in the game. Although strategies might not work to make you win against the house, at least you might last that long in the game and have that opportunity to play and enjoy yourself. But we must always keep in mind that no matter what happen, a game will always be a game. There is no assurance of winning so we must accept the fact that losing is one of the possibilities we might face. That is why I just keep enjoying playing the variety of games that I love into the online casino I am currently into because if ever I might not win, at least I've enjoyed and have fun and that's what matters to me plus the great bonus they offer once you have done your first deposit on it.

Indeed. There is no such specific way that have been ever made to defeat the house because upon playing, you better know that the house is already set to play with advantage and for you to be able to defeat it, you needed to have enough luck as well as the presence if strategy to be done impromptu because such strategies appear based on observations while you are playing to make your game play last that long so if ever you've been defeated, at least you have enjoyed playing. I got interested into the bonus reward you were talking about for just doing my first deposit because I wanted to experience one.

Well, that's right. There is really no specific way or strategy on how you can totally defeat the house. You do really have to be that observant to think wise on your actions and of course the presence of luck is a must have always so that you can totally beat the house to win the game. That bonus reward in the online casino I a currently into can be received once you have done doing your first deposit to enjoy the variety of games it have.
67  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Gambler's way on: March 07, 2019, 05:56:18 PM
since bitcoin was introduced to me few years ago i've got this thing in mind
is gambling really about luck or can you beat the house using maths and probability?

well as for my i always YOLO bet a lot and sometimes it's working fine but most of the time it's not
i tried also using lowbets with strategy , mostly on dice autobetting, it seems fine but kinda boring, seems okay but it will bust in a time
so do you think gambling is about luck or you can beat the house with strat?

Possibly if you are really good at math, you can somehow try if it will work but pretty sure that will take a long calculation which might be effective or not. Basically, luck is the key leading to a victory but if you are not really wise on decision making when it comes to your bets, you are just getting your luck wasted. So for me the best thing to come up for a win is a tough strategy plus luck to win the game once and for all. That thing I usually do clarify to myself whenever I play into an online casino to somehow get a win in the variety of games I enjoy playing on it as well the great deal of bonus for doing your first deposit.

I don't think that even mathematical calculations would work because it will take a long time to solve and probability of winning changes as the game goes on so how come mathematical calculations can help you win in gambling? It is just in need of wise decision based on observation and gut feeling and specially the most important thing is the presence of luck. I would like to know more of what variety of games I can play with that online casino you were talking about.

Indeed. Mathematically calculating the game does really just take time and it will just get the game boring if you will do that in the middle of the game. For me, observation to think of a move is already a great strategy but still it is a need of a luck to win the game. You can know more about the variety of games I play in the online casino I am currently into and see it for yourself.
68  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The danger is the addiction, not the odds on: March 07, 2019, 05:39:16 PM
Hi folks,

Yes, as the title says, I see a lot of negativity here with many people complaining. But the issue is not about the odds. You can win even when the odds are not in your favor.

I will explain: many random people everywhere in the world, managed on a random day to win at the national lottery, several millions $. Yet, the odds were not in their favor at all! National lotteries actually impose a much bigger margin (protection) to make sure they win more than they lose.

The point is: you can win big on a given day, if you get lucky. And yes luck strikes everywhere once in a while.

The main issue I see in those threads here is people totally addicted, investing a lot of money, chasing their losses, increasing their stakes after a loss.

The danger is the addiction, not the odds.

My opinion anyway.

Yes that is true. It is not really about the odds anyway, because as far as we concern, odds are already associated in playing gambling as well as other games that we can imagine. The problem is that how people manage those odds that they face. It is either in a positive or a negative way. Positively treating the odds makes you know your limits turning you to stop for a while which is good. But on the other hand treating it in a negative manner gets you stick into playing gambling more than the usual thing because you are already addicted on chasing losses and money which does not make gambling fun anyway because you are already misbehaving on it. That is why whenever I play into an online casino I treat odds on the variety of games I play as a part of the games so I am challenged and getting entertained while playing as well as enjoying great bonus for doing my first deposit.

Well, it is usual that odds are part of every game we play to have that sort of challenges to make the game more intensifying and challenging to encourage us to take the risk of playing it because without the odds it seems boring to play with it. Addiction is a real danger because loosing control of yourself in playing brings out another problem to come so taking control of yourself is a great thing to do to avoid such thing to come. I got interested into the bonus you were talking about for just doing first deposit into that online casino you were saying.

Yes that's true. Including odds in the game really makes it more intensifying and exciting as well as challenging for us games to play. But taking control with ourself is the thing we must have so that we may not get played of the game we are playing to avoid getting addicted on it specially talking about gambling that is associated with odds in different manner. Well, you can experience that great bonus in the online casino I am currently into once you have done your first deposit on it.
69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: March 07, 2019, 05:22:46 PM
What will you do if after losing several times in gambling, you are left with only small amount of money and that money will be for your fuel or for transportation, will you still continue with the little you are left with? What if you lose?

Since I have been losing for several times, I will take it as a sign to already stop and save my money for the food and transportation because it will make no sense trying to play again with the very last drop of money I've got in my pocket. Remember, a good gamer is not just getting into risky plays but also be wise enough on when to stop. The chances of losing is already in front of my face so why would I risk my last money? It will just make me walk for a long distance going home tired and hungry. That is why whenever I am playing, I just get into an online casino which is a lot more convenient and at the same time I can manage my game time with concern of every drop of my money I used for playing variety of games in it.

Indeed. I will also not take risk of putting up the last drop of money in my pocket just for playing gambling because I have already know that I have been loosing for several times so I will jump into conclusion that it is not my lucky day so I better go home for good and rest and then just try again the other time around maybe I will be lucky the other day and I do not really want to walk home for a long distance tired and hungry. It seems a good idea to be with that online casino you were saying so that I can conveniently play at home and I will not take any long distance just to play.

That's right. Risking the last money in my hand does already sounds pathetic and crazy especially once you have done it already because first think of the consequence before doing such action if it will be good to you or not. But in my case, since I do know what will most likely to happen, I tend not to continue and I will just try my luck next time. It is really a good idea which I have think when I get into the online casino I am currently into because of the convenience where I can still play variety of games even I am at home.
70  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler was being robbed on: March 07, 2019, 05:08:22 PM
Recently, a Korean National has been robbed here in my place while riding the Taxi going home and lose the money that he won in the casinos, Its around 4Million Pesos or $75,000. This is not new in gambling industry since many incidents like this before. Do you ever think its a real accident or its just an inside job where the employees of casinos are involve or the casino itself?

This is a once in a lifetime opportunities to become a millionaire, and yet it is being taken easily by a more greedy people. Now I’m wondering if its still safe to go to casinos or better to play online? What’s your thought about this?

Here’s the link for your reference (it’s not translated in english but I’ve already share the summary of this news):
https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/balitambayan/balita/679284/koreanong-nanalo-ng-p4m-sa-casino-hinoldap-sa-pasay/story/

Well, it is not a new scenario that a big millionaire gambler has been robbed because ever since there are really cases of robbery when a gambler comes out from a casino empty handed or not. It just proves how greedy people are that just to have money, they will rob other people's money for their own sake. What is just questionable for me is why you have think that the casino itself is involved into this scenario? Well, I think it is still safe to come into casinos as long as you have small money into your pocket which will not attract robbers around. That is why I am into playing in an online casino not just because of convenience but as well as the security so I will not be a victim of such robbery in the same time, I can still enjoy variety of casino games to play plus an opportunity to receive great reward of bonus for doing your first deposit.

It is literally not a new issue because many cases have already happen that is mainly due to greediness of other people wherein they will do everything to obtain money even if they do bad things such as robbery. That is why safety and security of gamblers from casino establishments are at risks when they go out heading home because there is a possibility that they can be victimized by those kind of people. Maybe I should try also playing into that online casino you were talking about because sometimes I get afraid whenever I go home from casino establishments that it may come a time that I will get victimized by those people which I do not want to happen.

Well, it's undeniable that most cases like this literally happens in any places across the globe because there are people who wanted money but to obtain it easily, they will do such thing like robbery. Greediness is really the thing that pushes an individual to do something bad just to get what he wants. You can see the online casino I am currently into and check for yourself the convenience of it where you can play variety of games even you are at home if you are really afraid going to casino establishments anymore.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this sound realistic? on: March 07, 2019, 04:37:16 PM
Ok! I was actually trying to get reasons why people get addicted to gambling which we all know is more self inflicted. However, I came up with this theory for someone who may actually want to gamble and then would not want to get addicted based on trying to fix their mentality about it and I would like to seek your opinion on what you think about it, if it can actually end up working for any gambler or not.

The theory is;
If you want to gamble, see it more like you are paying the casino or gambling platform to have some fun (just like you do to go watch some movies in cinema), which if you are paying for anything, you are not meant to expect it back. The good thing however is that, you can actually end up being paid more for having that fun if you get lucky, but the chances of seeing that happen is pretty slim. In that light, if you cannot actually live with doing what I said above, then you should not be gambling at all.

Does this sound like a mentality that can help anyone understand what they are in for if they indeed want to gamble or something even those who are tending towards addiction can set their mind to so as not to get into that deep gambling hole that is hard to come out from?

For me yes. It do sounds great and the idea is what I usually set up in my mind whenever I do want to play gamble. Together with that idea in my mind, I only set up betting small amount of money to help me think that if ever I loss, it is just a small amount that at least I have fun and challenged, at the same time feel that intensity of playing gamble. It is really the right mindset that we are paying for playing to be entertained nothing more, nothing less. The winning part must be taken as a bonus you can earn for having fun and that's all. That is what I literally do whenever I play into an online casino enjoying variety of games at the same time their great bonus for doing my first deposit.

I usually also do the same thing of betting in small amount to enjoy having a great game. Together with some strategic response to make myself have a long game play. Having such a mindset for a gambler really makes him enjoy playing the game and not pressuring himself that he must win to gain profit. The important thing is that you are enjoying what you are doing but always remember to have a proper moderation. I like to know what are those variety of games you have been playing into that online casino you were saying that maybe I could also enjoy.

Indeed. If you are just really up into enjoying and having fun is the reason why you are playing gambling, then settling into low betting games can already satisfy you. Well, there are really lots of variety of games you can play into the online casino I am currently into plus enjoy their great welcome bonus for doing your first deposit.
72  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A quick cancellation can make a profit? on: March 05, 2019, 05:27:53 PM
Do we sometimes think that as soon as we get up, we did a good thing and we will not lose. Sometimes it's better to retire, the only way to save profits, if we see that it does not work for us and the day of happiness is not with us. It was enough for me, the two hands of my cards were bad and nervous. I got up, lost some money, what is the next thing I should do?

I'm interested in your thinking and a lot of help for the next time


Sometimes quitting does not certainly means you already given up because you cannot take up the challenge, it can also mean pausing for a while to think of the best way so that on the next time you will be facing that same challenge once again, you already know what to do. It is not certainly good that you just keep on fighting even you are continuously loosing because maybe there is something wrong on what you were doing so quitting is a good opportunity to change that one. Well, in my case, if I am already seeing that losses are already getting in front of me, I tend to stop for a while and try my luck for the next time around because pushing it through will be no sense at all. That is what I certainly do whenever I am playing into an online casino I am currently into playing their variety of games that if I am continuously losing the game, I will quit and try my luck the next time I play so that I will not waste my time anymore keep on pushing what is not really meant to be that time and then I also enjoy their welcome bonus just for doing my first deposit.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Block Chain going to be the only option for the Gaming industry ? on: March 05, 2019, 05:03:46 PM
All the gamers round the world are these days ending up in playing games like Casino,Poker on the centralized platforms because of the manipulation happening around and so the craze of decentralised gaming is incresing day by day,it's been increasing rapidly that I was just wondering will it become the only option for the scam-free gaming industry?If so when would that happen?

Well, it just shows and proves how useful block chain technology is nowadays that as time passes by, such innovations regarding money remittance in terms of fast transactions is one of the first purpose of it but now, it has already entered the gaming industry providing a convenient gaming experience with regards to online payments that must be done before consuming such gaming experience from service providers. Well, it does not certainly make gaming experience decentralized because there are games that just makes sense of using its conveniency in terms of payment processes. Talking about gambling, especially online, block chain technology has been adapted to suit players needs of fast transactions of deposit but it does not mean that block chain technology can only be the option for gaming experience because there is still make use of fiat depending on the resources you have. Well, in my gaming experience, I have already got into using block chain technology for my online games especially when it comes to online gambling into an online casino I am currently into that accepts Bitcoin deposits for me to be able to enjoy playing their variety games as well as their welcome bonus for doing my first deposit.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Walk of Shame on: March 05, 2019, 04:40:52 PM
Did anyone here have experience a walk of shame (Walking home since you have a loss all your gambling money in just one snap)? Well, It did happen to me once and I'll never do that again. It was the bad year for me (Peek of my addiction), I normally left my atm/credit card at home if I were to visit a casino and have enough money wih some changes for my stay, food, drink and my fare. The first time it happens to me is when I was so frustrated because I can't win up to point I already spent my allocated money for my fare. I was devastated that I need to go home at 3 a.m. with no money literally and I haven't got a phone in me (which make it worst). Started walking from the casino going home it was the longest walk I ever made I pity myself and upon arriving at home my wife and my kids are already awake, I just can't bare to look at them. I don't even know what to say at that point. I just walk in shame, in front of my kids.

How about you, have experienced it? We all have different interpretation on "Walk of shame".

That is what certainly happens if you already ran out of control upon playing gambling that you are already risk taking all your money even the alloted ones for your fare going home as well as for food and drinks just because you are chasing into losses that you tend to chase instead of stopping to play and just have already get a ride into home. Well, it was really shameful especially for yourself that you are walking miles aways just to get home tired and hungry together with that devastation of your losses especially the last drop of money you have gave in because it makes you walk and experience such scenario. I haven't experience something like that ever in my gambling experience because I am the kind of person that whatever I do with my money, I wisely budget it for food all the day, fare going to somewhere until getting home before I decide to do to the rest of my remaining money. I tend to control myself to that whenever I play, my money on hand is the limit because I am just playing to have fun and enjoy and that enjoyment expires once I have already gotten into my budget for fare and food which I will not risk to gave in. That is what I do whenever I get into a casino establishment because good thing that I am now currently playing into an online casino which has variety of games that I can play conveniently plus their great welcome bonus I can enjoy just for doing my first deposit.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is growing at nonstop rates in my country on: March 05, 2019, 04:18:34 PM
Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

It seems that there is already a massive introduction of gambling into your place which can already be an alarming one thinking that there are already gambling establishments that stand nearby the school into the range that must not be there because here in my country, gambling is allowed but it is strongly prohibited that casinos are built on the range near the school because most likely, casinos in my country are being built into the centralized and capital city where most casino establishments can be found. Existence of such casinos around can really cause addiction as well encourage young people to get into gambling at a young age since is nearly accessible for them to play since it seems like there is no one stopping the increase of gambling popularity into your place. Well, good thing that the casino establishments in my country are away too far that you will exert effort if you really want to play and the rules about gambling is strongly being exerted by our government so that no individual below 18 can be accessible into gambling. Since casino are away too far from my range, I just tend to just play into an online casino so that I can still play variety of casino games that I can enjoy with convenience as well as their great bonus for doing my first deposit on it.

This person started a thread about benefits of gambling:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047546.0

btw in English you say "benefits from of gambling", not from.

I would like to open a thread about the opposite.
Here are some disadvantages that come to my mind when gambling is involved, I did not copy-paste any text from anywhere, this is purely my own thoughts about it:

1) Gambling brings you loneliness, or makes you feel alone or want to be alone, it can isolate you from society or from other important events in your life.
2) It can suck your energy or your happiness, it can get inside your head and won't leave you alone until you gamble again.
3) Not to mention it can can destroy you financially, you can lose a lot of money in a matter of seconds/minutes/hours/days. Some stories show how people lost over millions of dollars in a matter of hours or days.
4) Gambling can also destroy you individually, not only financially, you can lose your family, your job, your friends or relatives.

All in all gambling is a losing proposition, these drawbacks weigh much more than any possible benefits you can ever come up with when it comes to gambling.


It seems that those disadvantages you have discussed are just more likely to happen on those people or individual who are just up into aiming or have the main reason for playing gambling is just to earn money or profit from it in which many people are getting through it. Those can be the reasons why people tend to be addicted into playing gambling because of the disadvantages you have discussed. Well, not all gamblers do experience something like that if you are really into playing just to seek for an activity which is fun and entertaining. Just like what I did in playing into an online casino I am currently into wherein I just aim to have fun playing with the variety of games they have to offer so I play even with low bets because winning the game is not my concern since I am just seeking for fun activity, winning it will just be a bonus and a good thing for me because it just mean that I can play even for a one more round but with proper moderation concerning self-control plus I can enjoy their great welcome bonus just for doing my first deposit.

I have tried to think what goes through my mind when ever I am trying to place a bet. I think something strange do happen to me and that is I always have this thinking that what if I lose, how am I going to feel! I have never want to lose in my mind I want to win always but I think this is impossible. Gamblers here did you always want to win all your bet? If you win all how will the gambling company makes profits?

If you are placing large bets certainly you will have such thinking like that because you were being concern about the sake of your money at risk in the bet. But in my case, I certainly do not worry about losing or winning because I do know the possibility that either of the two will be the possible outcome and I am not into earning profit from my bets so I am just into placing smaller bets just to have fun and try different games which possibly I can enjoy. With that thinking in my mind, I have been able to establish a great presence of mind without pressure because I aim just to entertain myself and that's all. That is what I certainly do whenever I am playing into an online casino I am currently into that playing is not always into earning but how I have been satisfied playing their variety of games plus the great deal of welcome bonus just for doing my first deposit.

do you experience that after losing on gambling that you thinking you will quit gambling for good and never come again to gambling but then next day you are already positive  that you could win in gambling?

that happen to me a lot when i lose in gambling but a could never leave gambling. Cheesy

I have not yet been thinking of that because I certainly playing gamblinh in moderation in which I only play frequently in a week because I do also have errands to do so I am not that 'always' into playing gamble and whenever I play, I have the mindset that I am playing just to be entertained and have fun so I am just placing small bets so that if ever I will loose which can possibly happen most of the times, I will not get pressured because I have just 2 or 3 games that I play in one day depending into my mood. But whenever I loose the game, I feel motivated because maybe I just have done some wrong moves since my aim whenever into an online casino is to last long into any the variety of games they have that I enjoy that keeps me entertained, as well as enjoying their welcome bonus for doing my first deposit.

Do you think the winning effect causes the feeling of being invincible in the game? In many games, we use techniques, strategies, where you can find patterns, but the psychology we have in our brain is not accepting when we are losing, and we want to recover ... Is it a mistake to think this? Or should we assume the loss and come back at another time?

Many of these questions arise when we play, but we got a quick response and a solution: go ahead!

There are games like poker, where it is based on technique, cunning, psychology and luck. Some see it as a game full of attitude to deceive your opponents, others are experts with their techniques developed by experience.

When many players fall into vice, it is very difficult to control, some players end up losing everything, but you can apply the psychology of self-control.

For example: I enter the game with a certain balance, if I assume that this balance is totally lost, I can have two possibilities:

1.-As you know that this money you give for lost, you play without any pressure to see what happens, applying and giving free rein to your multiple strategies to see what results I can achieve.

2.- You play with the reason, waiting for you to recover your balance and multiply it.

I have applied this type of psychology always with option 1 and I play without stress. If I lose, I assume my loss, and if I win, it's like lifting a trophy. Do you think it's a way to escape from that little pressure that is exerted when playing? Have you ever applied this type of psychology?


I have not known that it is a psychological technique or strategy but I certainly do apply the number one you have been saying whenever I play gambling. I am not mindful that what I have been doing has the presence of psychology itself because I think it has something to do with common sense already that whenever you play any game, you certainly know that you always have that chance of winning or loosing since it is part of the game so why would you feel pressure if every game have those two associated with them? Because of money? Well it is already on the thinking of the people that matter because playing in gambling involves money and if you play gambling for the aim of obtaining profit, then you are already pressuring yourself even you have not been started playing that can lead you to frustrations and possibly get into addiction because you will certainly chase your losses. That is what I avoid doing, pressuring myself on playing gambling because I am aware that I can loose the game everytime so I just place smaller bets for me not to feel pressure but intensified and challenge as well as eager to enjoy and last long with the variety of games I play into an online casino I am currently into and enjoy their welcome bonus just for doing my first deposit. Winning the game is just a bonus for me because at the first place, I aim to have fun and not certainly earn profit with no pressure involve.

There are a lot of chances that people can gamble, like when you try a drinking game, where you watch a movie, and you are going to drink when that character do a specific thing or something like that. I have done that, and it's entertaining but it's not that common to do anymore

I have a lot of multiplayer games in my PS4, like Tekken, UFC, Injustice, etc. My friends and I don't go to competitions, but we make our own, we start betting stuff or sometimes just money with whoever who wins the bracket.

Has anyone made a simple competition with friends and won a lot of money? Or something out of the ordinary, instead of playing in the casino but still having the chance to earn money. Share your thoughts.

Well, I certainly do that together with my friends like that we are bettint even on a single thing on what will possibly happen if we do this or we do that, part of the childhood that I totally miss but we certainly not doing it right now because it seems not fun anymore since we are almost busy with our careers right now. But indeed, betting on normal games as well as normal games is a real fun thing to do which brings back the memories when we were a child enjoying our childishness that everything seems to be a competition betting what possibly could happen in which I always win all the way around. But when I grow up I have learned that those things we are doing before seems to be boring anymore that is why I have engaged already into an online casino which I enjoy variety of games I can bet on but does not certainly aim for profit but the fun and entertainment as well as their great welcome bonus for just doing your first deposit.
