Beginners luck is something that would really be strongly be able to influence you to play even more and this is something that you should really be that careful on this case because if you wont
then you are really that putting yourself on possible addiction. Usually noobs would really be creating that kind of beliefs and hopes into his mind that he's really that making easy money
with gambling but once that reality would slap into your face then you would really be having those realizations that it is really that not possible on having this kind of approach on things.
This is why it would really be that best that you should really know on what you are doing and dont let yourself get easily be hooked up by too much greed.

Both the luck achieved by beginners and experienced gamblers will make us easily influenced by what they get.
And novice gamblers are usually very ambitious in pursuing victory, and one day the novice gambler experiences defeat over time and then he realizes that he has made a mistake.
And I agree with you as a gambler, you should try as much as possible not to be greedy when in the casino, whether winning or losing will happen and we have to be able to accept it.

A newbie gambler who has won money wouldn't stop gambling easily. The gambling speed increases the moment they're made aware that the luck is in them, which makes the gambler certain he's able to win big someday. I think the casino purposely does this to keep the newbies on the trap of gambling for a longer period. Gamblers will definitely win, provided they keep on gambling. So, the wins are the reason everyone still gambles, and not everyone is contented with their winning result. Which circles back to greed and the meaning behind the chasing of loss. However, that doesn't make up for the purpose why a gambler should keep his habit a secret. Because if a player is struggling with self-control, he'd one day get into trouble, those who are aware of his habit are the best first aid for him. Hence, concealing the gambling habit, can only make the player suffer in times of trouble or danger. As nobody will know he's undergoing too many pains or understand why his behavior changed recently.

Addictions works almost similarly, regardless of where the problem is emerging from, most gamblers who got addicted weren't just careless, some happened to be responsible, at the end of the process they became addicted. Meaning that whenever, we engage into any activity that has some form of addicting vibe, we have to be careful about it and not run short of staying responsible in the game. We always have things we love doing, until we can't control the reason why we started doing those things. Hence, addiction sets in and the trouble continues to torment the victim, mentally, financially, and many other ways. It's not simple to escape addiction, due to the fact that we tend to enjoy those activities, which kept us addicted.

Well, we all just for fun and things will go smooth and fun as well but one who doesn't keep things under limits will fall into addiction of kind that we only understand how deep we are into the shit when it's become too late. In gambling people who desperate to make money also gets addicted and there are people who wanted to distract themselves from addicted and many more people but the worst of all is, this can affect us financially first then things will escalate to family/relationship and if they are not supportive then it will broke the bonding and we just do it hard to forget the emotional damage that they are going through.

Unfortunately, if the family of the gambler neglects him, that will be terribly bad and could affect his future behavior, after recovery. Because an addict needs love and care to get cured of his problem gambling. What is most important is the need to stay away from consistent gambling. Players own the responsibility of remaining responsible in gambling, but along the line forget about the pains of addiction and go astray. As a gambler, reminding oneself of the struggle addicts are undergoing, is enough to make us stick to the plan of being responsible in gambling. Compulsive gambling has never helped to improve the profits of any gambler. Why then do players tend to play or wager more than they're able to lose. It's painful and leads to anxiety which is the reason most gamblers are not able withstand the struggle, as it starts really strong on the player. The person realizes he's addicted really late, when it has eaten deep into his memory and bank account.

Controlling ourselves is important, it should be done before, during and after the gambling session to be better.
Some people may have good control before start but it may change completely during or after gambling so it can lead into something unexpected.


This is the most important thing that needs to be remember by other people who really wants to engage in gambling activities, It's quite difficult to do since even if we really want to control ourself, It's kinda hard to apply in action. Many gamblers does know how to control theirself but once they experience different things in gambling, just like winning big amount, there is a change because their greed that they tried to suppress from the beginning is starting. It is difficult to explain why it reaches that point because it is about our mind decision.only medical professionals can properly explain why this is happening to us.


No need involving medical professionals on this, it's natural with the spending habit of human. The richer a person gets the higher his expenses, and how he spends money. That's same with gambling. When a gambler hits a certain significant amount of money, that makes him feel like a high roller, he wouldn't wager like a low roller anymore. The self-control disappears at this point. I think gamblers at some point would need help with managing money. Especially with people who are not strongly backed with the knowledge of money management skill. Everyone has an atom of greed in them, that's why many still fall for Ponzi schemes, hence in gambling a player who has won enough money, definitely doesn't get satisfied and may need to wager away his money for more profits.

Mind control and emotional intelligence is required in gambling. The issue with gambling and gamblers is that it's freely made, anyone, anywhere will participate in gambling. Few people will only develop the urge to understand it better, while many others would focus on the funds. Playing without any experience on ways they could control their behavior. And stay clear from problem gambling. So, it's crucial for gamblers to learn from the mistakes of others and implement strategies that would help them not be in some ill problems with law enforcement agencies. Gambling was not created for players to commit problems in the society. Although it takes a large share of the blame, but the gambler knows he was careless about his moves and strategies. Instead of building up such bad records on gambling, it's better for newbie gamblers to focus on learning better how they could be good, responsible gamblers.
Playing gambling without any experience or not wanting to learn what is needed when playing gambling can put you at greater risk of losing money. Many people have experienced it so we don't need to try it because it will only make us lose even more money. We must not be careless in using our money and must always limit our money for gambling. Otherwise, we will only regret it when we see that all the money has been lost on the gambling table while we cannot recover the losses we have experienced. And instead of us also experiencing other big problems where we can become addicted to gambling because we don't have self-control, it's better that from now on, we have to learn better so that we can control ourselves when gambling. We must be able to understand that gambling is just entertainment, and there is no need to take it too seriously. We must always know that we have boundaries that must not be violated. That can prevent us from gambling excessively and can also prevent us from bigger problems where we can experience gambling addiction.

The journey for every gambler is quite different. Those who wish to have a safe experience need to back it up with some knowledge of what they're doing. It's not a thing of competition, but a self-game against our thoughts and brain. Gamblers have nothing to bother about the house. Instead, reverse remains the case for most gamblers, they end up trying to defeat the house. Not every gambler has this type of orientation. Hence, they end up going through the harsh route of gambling, putting themselves into hardship. What matters is to enjoy the process and wager what we are able to lose. If not, I don't understand any other reason why a gambler shouldn't mind his funds and stay careful about how he wagers it.

Many are in a hurry to hit it big. While some are for the fun and learning critical techniques, others have the intention of stopping after a huge win, and many others who have their individual reasons of playing gambling. That's why it'll be hard to control the attitude of the numerous gamblers in the world. Millions don't have the backup knowledge of the need to be a responsible gambler. Nothing can be done about that, it's an individual journey. And no gambler is clean. Any player can be a victim. So, the safety routine should be practiced on daily basis. Gamblers shouldn't think that they're good and can't get into problem gambling, that could be a big lie. The whole time we gamble, we need to respect the rules and manage our bank roll.

605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: February 23, 2024, 08:24:54 AM
Every player who started a session should be able to know how to end it, if not the session will help him put it to an end when his funds get exhausted. Waiting for our funds to elapse before we rest isn't a good gambling practice. Being able to control the bank roll is crucial for every gambler. Speaking of cross addiction in gambling, it's a better method of escaping problem gambling, but it's not simple to achieve especially in gambling. A gambler has multiple reasons not to avoid gambling. His money is there, and the brain has been accustomed to gambling most of the time. Hence, staying in touch with people who can help the player divert his attention, also works fine for the gambler. Trying to achieve it all alone, is not conducive for the gambler's health, he could get lost in the process and wouldn't realize what he's suffering from. It's like a gravity, the addict need another force to distract the body from engaging into gambling again.

With someone's help who really showing care about the person they both might find a good alternative to prevent playing back or to prevent in keep participating in any types of gambling, It's an idea where the person who are engage into gambling can find a good way to divert his attention, though it's not an easy task to someone who already have that addiction inside but if there's still a self-will which can be use if there's a corresponding help that can be provided.

Keep in mind that there's always a way to stop if you are really keen and you are really aiming to achieve in moving away from gambling.

The best aspect of therapy is interpersonal relationship. A gambler who meets a close friend for help, will easily listen to the person and adapt to a new lifestyle. More like a peer pressure or influence. It's crucial for a gambler to trace back to those people whom he had good relationship with, and they'll help him laugh out his pains, by telling him old stories, and reminding him of his personality as a younger person in life. Those memories help to recuperate the brain and puts the player to thoughts, and rethink about himself. Asking himself questions like why he's changed really quick.

The only strong barrier is that the gambler will not realize meeting his old time or childhood friends can help him. Gambling addiction convinces the victim that nobody can help him not even the therapist. They tend to resist any form of help. The healing only starts when the addict decides to change, then his senses can direct him to a therapist or a friend who is willing to help him out of the trouble. One good thing, they are people, genuine, who are indeed ready to help a friend or family member out of their struggle. They are always right there by the corner, receiving lots of resistance from the victim, but they keep persisting, until the addict gives in that he actually needs help and is in a huge trouble.

The most realistic house edge is around 98% the gambler takes only 2% of his wagered money. Casinos generates lots of money across the world, and the players are just given a tip of the iceberg. That's the game, and the players need to stay prepared not to lose much to the casino. Players who want to win more than the casino, fetches most of the money for the casino. Thereby, helping the business to move for more people to participate. However, gamblers are not expected to go for the money, since they are aware of how casinos operate.

Every kind of addiction will affect us mentally, physically, and financially so don't just draw the line only under gambling. I may have seen videos of such kind but I don't remember any of it because it doesn't really relates to me and I know how hard to recovery from any addiction from my personal expereince (not gambling).

Addictions works almost similarly, regardless of where the problem is emerging from, most gamblers who got addicted weren't just careless, some happened to be responsible, at the end of the process they became addicted.

608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: February 23, 2024, 07:28:35 AM
Such experts only need more publicity to reach out to more naive and curious gamblers who are seeking to make money by all method or strategy. The fastest way of getting a naive gambler's money is telling him that you've got correct predictions that could yield him more money. Those experts who do this, definitely wouldn't run out of such gamblers, it's a broad niche and can't end anytime soon. Because more people keep joining and those who has been into the trap of such experts, still keep on trying to find the best person to purchase their predictions. Gamblers only need to focus on their own predictions, and feel happy whenever it works out great, and add more money to their bank roll. No meaningful profits can be made by reaching out to unreliable experts to get predictions for an unpredictable game.

I have always made something clear in my points of view, for me people who are dedicated to games of chance and who for me are professionals will be professionals if and only if they handle money figures of $1M in adulthood, whether in the casinos. or in sports betting, but let's see the logic of this, the predictions have to be in derpotvia bets, for me they believe in a "professional" of this, he has to make the bets that he sends to his group and bet heavily, however, on see if he really wins or not, then he does win, and he has a success level above 85% for me, well, I could believe that person, but yes, he has to show me his mistakes, wins and losses, not show today and another tomorrow, no, the professional has to place his bets and his signals show that he is serious, because right now there are many liars and scammers out there, on telegram there are many, that's how As much as the traders who give their signals, yes I They show their balance all the time of profits and losses, that is when we verify if they are real or not.

It is very easy to get audiences and a community quickly with all the marketing strategies that exist, whether paid or not, but there are ways to get fake Insurance that makes a Difference in what they show out there, that is why I am always I'm very Delicate about these things, in fact there are some that give trading Signals like sports betting and the entry is free , to sweeten the Clients and then when they give some or other signals they demand payments, so that doesn't make sense to me , because I have seen that they live off of those Monthly payments of theirs , so I don't understand it, if they live off of trading or sports bets then they have to be very emphatic with that and always give proof, in fact they do have a lot of live betting better and that they make lives with this type of things to demonstrate that they are actually Transparent , but what I Demand so far no one does it, or well at least I don't know them.

What you want is quite hard to get, most of the people running such business are con artists, only few are genuine, and they need to be on top dollars to be giving out accurate prediction. I also understand the niche to be some collection of chains of providers from the genuine down to the least that most gamblers can afford. Because a lot of money is going into the business, and it's been forwarded to the people at the top. Getting to the right chain can be difficult, but it exists. However, gambling remains what it is, one can't expect constant wins from this method, despite following the right people. Showing you their mistakes and statistics, can be strange to them, because of how connected they are, most of them may not be playing those games, instead they focus on advertising their channels to be able to generate more money to advance into a better chain of the business. And, as I said, getting to the main source of this prediction group is quite difficult, they are the only people who provide the things you need. The people on telegram, most, don't follow such routines, they come up with any prediction that hits their memory, and also find a way to defend their mistakes, the channel members have no option than to try again on the next game.
609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: February 23, 2024, 06:46:21 AM
People can never enjoy financial benefits from gambling. It can be fun if you bet with your friends all of a sudden but when you bet with a lot of money and do it regularly it becomes no fun anymore. Those who get idea about gambling gamble for fun in the initial stage and when they win gambling they gamble regularly and become addicted. There are also people who want to become financially independent from gambling, which makes them gamble regularly, which may be a mistake for them because gambling can never become financially independent.
I agree it's really stupid to think of financial benefits from gambling there is no guarantee that you will make money from it. Chasing money will become an addiction. Many people lose control of their lives while gambling and their entire lives are filled with problems because of this behavior. Leaving all the important activities of life they only look for gambling opportunities and immerse themselves in gambling. Should be played through fun if fun don't worry about any financial loss.

Gamblers face too many challenges during any gambling session. Many therapists have mentioned that no gambler is immune to addiction, due to the constant change or challenges coming up while gambling, hence we all need to forget about chasing money or seeing gambling as a venture for financial freedom. Nothing is wrong in being a moderate gambler. The point of earning huge amount of money from gambling moves around the brain of any player who has been into gambling for a long period of years. This thought is generated from the common issues people have with gambling, loss of money. Was discussing with a friend and he mentioned that he is going to win huge amount of money some day through gambling. I didn't say a word, because it's achievable, but when, and how long would it take? that is not certain. So, what keeps lots of gamblers in the game is the big win day. That thought removes the need to safeguard their fundings, they wager too hard just to hit the jackpot, forgetting that the funds belong to the house.

These guys aren't really doing themselves a favor. They are just bringing themselves closer to a lot of losses financially. Better to gamble sane and with full focus and knowledge of what you're doing rather than letting drugs or drowsiness take control of your logic and decision making. I really don't understand the rationale behind using drugs or alcohol to fuel some activities. They're just foregoing their control to some chemicals luring them into the false sense of being invincible.
I think gambling is permissible if their financial condition is good and they can earn a very large amount. Gambling can be used as a place to find entertainment or relieve fatigue from daily work, but you need to know, don't be too addicted in gambling places and you have to take care not to addicted to gambling places because it has the potential to quickly use up all the money you have.

Gambling in such a condition only worsens the rate the gambler loses his money during his gambling session. One can't stand the pressure of gambling while high on alcohol, I've seen TikTok videos of a woman that lost lots of dollars in gambling, because she was drunk. Imagine the casino also provides drinks to gamblers, but it's quite a thing of self-control. A gambler shouldn't take up all the alcohol in the house just to gamble. The stress to think and make good decision will be much, and the person will wager carelessly and recklessly. However, since no player has ever achieved a big win through wagering on the influence of alcohol, other players need to look into their mood of participating in gambling. It's a game of calculation and prediction, playing without our self-consciousness, intact, the player will end up in dip trouble when the alcohol clears off his memory. The person needs to work on two huge troubles, alcohol and gambling addiction. That will be a whole big fight for freedom. Because when a player can't avoid gambling while high on alcohol, his problem gambling will be tremendously hard to cure.

611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money on: February 23, 2024, 05:58:18 AM
Op has made some good point on his explanation about gambling for fun. It's not a big thing to understand. The trouble with people is that they forget easily about the importance of gambling for fun. Like Op stated the whole process of gambling is closely related to how we spend money on other utilities. The same thing applies to giveaway, paying for football matches, going to the mall or park etc. Such activities take up our money, and we don't regret paying for the fun we've earned there. Gambling isn't an exemption; the difference is the money casino promises to players. More like if a restaurant pays people for eating, lots of humans would overfeed there, just for the money reward. That's what is going on in casino. People are meant to enjoy the moment there, but due to the money it's quite hard for the players to focus and stick to the exact time for them to leave the vicinity. Which causes harm to the emotions of the gambler, and his loss of money.
612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: February 20, 2024, 07:09:13 PM
If gambling can be enjoyed then financial losses may not have a major impact. But when gambling turns into an addiction, a gambler will face a different situation as well as financial losses. The gambler will continue to gamble even after losing his money, which will affect the person to a greater extent than the loss of the money. Any addiction can affect people negatively. There will be no mistake in saying this in that direction. Addiction is certainly more harmful than financial loss. When a gambler loses financially, it can be recovered later, but the losses the gambler faces due to addiction cannot be compensated with money.
In enjoying gambling, we must be able to control ourselves well so that we don't experience too big a financial loss. Most gamblers cannot control themselves, which causes them to experience large financial losses because they have lost a lot. This is something that must be avoided because whatever money you use for gambling will only run out and you will not be able to enjoy gambling as entertainment. There will be a desire to avenge the defeat you experienced, so it will trigger you to gamble excessively. And if you gamble too much, you will only experience bigger losses and it will be difficult to recover from them. Apart from that, there will be a problem of gambling addiction that befalls you if you remain unaware of it because you are getting deeper into gambling.

Trying to take the wins from the house by force is a fight greedy gambler can't win the house is in control of the game. Why would a gambler try to win using any possible means, to an extent of wagering all his money. The endless effort of chasing loss without any result only leaves the gambling wondering about his incapabilities of winning. Hence, he'd continue, until he gets addicted. Any amount of money that gets to his way will go back to gambling. Addiction and financial loss are incomparable, but one can't get addicted to gambling without losing lots of money in the process, maybe in his venture of wining back his lost money. Since there work hand in hand, gamblers in order not to get addicted, need to be careful about financial loss. Hence self-control can limit the amount of money a gambler loses while gambling. The anxiety of losing too many puts lots of players into problem gambling. But in a literal sense, addiction is way too bad and also requires finance to get cured.

When people study, they always say that they are studying to achieve their dreams, but when people become adults and need a job to earn money, then people focus on studying courses that are most sought after in the job market. , and when they get a job, they say they are working because they love that job, but in reality they are working because they need money. They do their job well and are compensated with money, which in this case is their salary. It's a win-win situation for both parties. On one side we have the owner of the company who needs employees to do certain tasks and on the other side we have people who need jobs so they do the tasks of the place where they work and receive salaries.

in casinos it's exactly the same thing, what we have is that on one side there is the casino owner who needs customers to make a profit and on the other side we have customers who are playing for fun and who also want to win money, I usually I play for fun but I try very hard to make a profit. Of course, I don't exaggerate and I manage my bankroll in a rational way so that I don't get lost in gambling addiction, because the search for profit is what has made many people follow the path of gambling addiction, and I don't want to this for me. But it's a reality that most people play because they want to win and make money, and that makes perfect sense. It wouldn't be fun to lose

Great analysis enjoyed reading your write up, its easily understandable why people get into confusion while gambling. They spend hours gambling for the money, as if they want to achieve their dreams. But the aim is for the money. They end up losing out lots of it, and keep on trying to earn few more funds, through gambling. While the casino boss is busy doing his parts on the Ads, looking for more gamblers to fund the business. This shows how simple it is to understand how the gambling niche is been managed. Also, why people shouldn't think the money wagered on gambling is an investment. As it's not what they think it is, gambling is for fun purposes and for the need to relax after a busy day or week.

That's the technique for getting more traffic, which affects the bank roll of the low roller. Moving forward the player begins to lay blames on the streamers for being the reason why they lost all their funds, gambling. It then starts to affect the emotional state of the gambler that he'd begin to lose control and get problem in his gambling process. However, when a high roller is watching a streamer play, he could be following his moves without much problem because the high rollers has the sufficient funds to take care of himself, without running broke. The low rollers, find it so hard as the money is needed to solve other financial responsibilities. So, the viewers who has enough money can play like the streamers, while those who don't have enough should focus in saving up money for other things. It's wrong to go short of money, due to gambling.

that's true, it could happen, with the fact that the strategy given by the streamers and them imitating it ultimately only leads them to defeat, maybe they will blame the streamer, but that's no use, what is clear is that it can trigger their emotions increase which could make them have a grudge against gambling which could also trigger them to big losses, because with the grudge they have it can make them lose self-control which leads them to take actions that are beyond the limits such as depositing money back in pursuit of winnings.

Sometimes it is true that if someone has lost self-control because of the gambling they do, they may gamble using money that they should not use for gambling, for example money that is designated for basic needs, this can happen, because heightened emotions make it possible They will continue to gamble with the aim of getting a win that can cover the losses they have experienced.

Having grudges for the streamer doesn't solve any problem for the gambler, because he, the player, wasn't taken by his hands to gamble like the streamer. Removing such thoughts can help the player relax his nerves and focus on wagering few amounts of money. Gambling is not meant for people who are on the search for quick profits. And that's the weak point the streamers are utilizing while promoting big wins on their platforms, with money sponsored by the casino. Nothing comes easy, but newbie gamblers think that money can be made easily via gambling. However, they end up finding out that their thoughts were wrong all along, instead of accepting the responsibility they end up blaming the streamer. Since they don't take it on themselves that it's their fault, they'll want to prove it by wagering more money to get their funds back immediately. Some also conclude that they must hit one max win before quitting gambling. Numerous self-determination that keeps gamblers to continue chasing losses.

Investment and gambling are two different things that have no comparison between them. Gambling is what we do for fun by trying our luck in predicting the possible outcome of a game, even though the addictive ones sees it as a means of income, that is why gambling addict are mostly been liquidated due to the fact that they saw it as a means of making money.

While investment is a totally different from gambling in the sense that you put your money into something or any business and be expected a profit in return in the nearest future, but what you are saying about how you invested into ponzi scheme even when you know how dangerous it is, to me it's totally unwise and it should be avoided by all means.
Yeah, we know that is two different thing that cannot be compared. The Investment purposes giving a profit to the Investor. While Gambling is something that uses Money to play the Game. Playing Gambling is what we do to have fun in our spare time so that we don't have to Gamble daily. It's better to get addict to the Investment rather than addict to Gambling because at least, in investment, we can have a chance to make a profit. Getting addict to gambling only gives us many problems. You need to choose what You want and if you don't want to end up by addict to Gambling, you can choose the Investment.

Investment is really different than Gambling , you don't have to confuse and not think much about Gambling. If you play Gambling too often, you can lose much money. But if you Invest in something like Bitcoin, you can make a Profit. You choose what you want , I guess you and I already know that Invest in Bitcoin is something that can give a big profit while Playing Gambling can make you lose much money.

Aren't you concerned about cryptocurrency investor who see gambling as a way of multiplying their crypto holding. Lots of gamblers are into it for millions and one reasons. And we may not be able to detect why some people are into gambling, due to the numerous reasons. However, investing on the right business can be better than hoping on gambling as a way of making money. But that shouldn't be Ponzi as Op is saying on his thread. Those can end up closing up anytime soon. The only method for making money is by building a sustainable business that solves problem. Other than that, gambling and Ponzi isn't the right choice for anybody, regardless of how promising it may seem. Moreover, some investments still are not profitable on the long run, investors, also have a fair share of losses when investing. They also need to invest time researching on the best amongst every investment available. For instance, in the crypto space, aside bitcoin, most investors are not sure of what profits their altcoin could yield them during the bull run and how much they can lose on the bear season.

I went to a betting shop around my locality then I bet with $10 and lose all of them so I was holding  up to $1 separately for transporting my self back to my residence, but funny how I staked with my transport money and won.
Although, I had more money on my account that I can use for transporting my self back to my house if incase I lost the physical cash, that was why I wasn't afraid to stake with it.
this is a bad idea that shouldn't be applied at all. It's very important to know when you should stop and it's even bad that you have to gamble up to your last cash before thinking on quitting and to attempt gambling out your last physical fund is a risk you should avoid.

This is one of the reason why it's necessary to have a budget before engaging in a daily or weekly gambling. Set an amount you can't go above regardless of the urge to do so. You can't be lucky all the time and you should know that because uku won on that said day doesn't mean you will always win. Today you had some spear cash with you that enabled you to comfortably gamble with your transportation fare. The next day, it might be that you don't even have a dime in your account and because you where fortunate to win in the last one would become the negative motivation that willake you become an unplanned beggar on the way.

The only difference is that she won using her last cash, which reason birthed this thread. However, it's risky and shouldn't be done next time, as the player could be making lots of mistakes. However, I respect the fact that Op stopped after winning with the last cash, some may have continued gambling with the extra profit. I remember winning by going all in, and that has been my best memory of gambling. But that was not all the time. Sometimes, when gambling, it seems like the game gets to connect with me and I could detect the exact moment to go all in. Most of the time it works like magic, yet sometimes, I'd have to go with no money left with me. Gambling can be tricky; hence gamblers have to be smart when wagering money. Self-control maintains that when the allocated money for gambling has been exhausted the gambler should endeavor to stop. This thread also proves the saying that no accurate strategy in gambling, she tried her luck using her transport fair and she gained more profits.

Gambling for fun is indeed a safe choice, but not everyone can do it. There are times when they are still greedy for chasing wins after earning more than their initial funds and that can be detrimental without them realizing it. The need to remain alert when things don't go as desired and stop when things can no longer be controlled.
Well it's their own choice, no one force them to gamble if they can't control themselves. Even though it's bad for them, but at least they give contribution to other people because they enrich the casino, it makes the owner able to pay salary for the employees and they will pay tax to the government.

So, it doesn't looks really bad right? Cheesy

Gamblers all over the world enrich the casino to take care of the business and pay for tax and employees as you said. But that doesn't mean that the players shouldn't mind being careful about spending their money. Wagering one's salary on casino drastically takes down the happiness of the gambler, when he losses a lot. Hence, a salary earner despite enjoying his gambling habit, needs to be mindful of his money and the ways he spends it on casinos. As things could get wrong on his side, while the casino improves in their business.

Yeah, never a good idea for both parents to engage in gambling, as no doubt, this could have a very bad negative impact on the children going while they are growing up to become teenagers, and teenagers into adults, the children could pick that up from their parents and that could turn the entire family into a den of chaos and confusion.

If the two parents are gamblers, then you should expect nothing from the child than being a chronic and addicted gambler, the son of a lion will surely roar like a lion, he will take much of gambling from his parents, but i wonder how they could both manage the home in bringing the children and having resource for their daily needs when they both gambles, can they even afford to make earnings? i doubt, we should leave a good example for our children to take and not care less about what our actions might put in them to become what they may never thought or imagine in life.

Cooperation is key in this type of family, where both spouses are gamblers. Not all will end up becoming compulsive, if they work alongside each other and caution one another, they can be responsible gamblers. I know that it's quite a tough one, if one of them gets addicted. And it'll be almost impossible for the kids not to find out about their parent's engagement into gambling. Especially when they discuss about their wins and losses. To be honest, the family can be run without having some financial challenges, if the parents set aside some funds for gambling, alone. However, isn't it better for both to be gamblers than one person, that hides it from the family and runs dry the finances of the home. No one is the right person to quit, instead both should end it and focus on training their kids. Because someday the kids will become gamblers, one way or another. Even if the parents are responsible players, the kids may not.

You know what after win big and then slap by huge loss I tend to go all in or double it like you have said earlier I don't know why it just automatically happened to me. hahahhahaha when I lose it all I just inhale exhale and tried to calm down and close the site, but when I win after do all in I just inhale exhale close the site and laugh a little bit.

Tho it is a bad habit but as long you stay inline with your budget you probably fine doing it.

You must be the exception to this rule, as being emotionally driven when betting and staying within the budget is far from the norm. To the OP asking for advice I would tell him to stop betting. If he has such problems controlling himself and keeps losing he's not going to discover a trick that will allow him to bet a little and still control himself. His case is either continue in the same vein, probably getting worse and losing too much over time, or quit for good. I'm clear about which I would choose, also bearing in mind that it's not going to be an easy thing to do.

The best thing as you mentioned, is for Op to stop gambling for a while. This type of trouble can be a pain, but he can achieve this by avoiding any means of gambling. If he's an online gambler, staying clear from his machines or gadgets can be helpful. This sounds easy, but I'm lying, the process is quite difficult. He's getting into addiction and that's what causes chasing of losses and increase the rate at which he keeps losing money. I've never been in such a situation in a long time, but he needs to get a companion, a friend who doesn't gamble to help him with this, as he may not handle this alone.

I think it requires some extra effort to master this strategy, but it has a good effect on the gambler. Being able to redirect the negative emotions to something positive in the real life. Yeah, as humans the wrong emotions can accumulate depending on the results of the game. But in a situation whereby the gambler is able to avoid the negative emotions in the first instance, he wouldn't bother about possessing this skill you mentioned. All he'd need will be the stage 2, going for vacations and reaching out to distant relatives. That's a fine way of reviving the emotions of the gambler to think normally and mingle with non-gamblers. As gamblers after having a stressful session, one needs to cool off his brain and have a rethink on the next gambling session.
The only problem is that in practice this doesn’t always work out either. Some players begin to withdraw into themselves and do not want to talk about it, because they understand that in their eyes he will look like a complete loser, some also think that if they tell the truth, their wife will leave them or cut off all ties with him. Therefore, in general, this is a difficult issue, but this does not mean that you should not try to start communication. I just think that keeping silent about the problem only makes it worse. Despite all this, it would be very difficult for me to tell my relatives about this, thoughts about it would plunge me into complete depression, I hope that some people manage this easier than me.

That wouldn't help, it's also a level of gambling addiction, where the gambler tends to hide the problem from loved ones. Yes, the whole process is not done by purpose. The gambler doesn't realize he's hiding his troubles, he thinks he can take care of himself, thereby causing himself more harm. For instance, the things you pointed out, loved ones most often would blame the addict for his gambling trouble. And the addict doesn't want to end up in such a state, where he'd have to lose his wife, after sharing his problem. However, opening up is better than keeping shut, because at last the addict's wife will definitely figure out that his husband is undergoing serious emotional pains. One can't hide the truth forever; it'll always show on the person's face. Where hiding the problem works is, if the gambler lives alone. He can claim to be fine in the midst of friends and family. A person with a spouse can't hide for long, before his wife begin to find out the pains of the husband. Meeting a therapist works just fine and could improve the emotional state of the gambler to get positive, and he'd get over the pains gradually.
