641  Economy / Economics / Re: Farming and it importance to the economy on: March 23, 2024, 05:53:32 PM
The importance of farming to a country cannot be overemphasized because food is a need among shelter, clothing and without it living can be quite unbearable.

Countries that go to war know that if they should disrupt the trade routes of the enemies used to deliver food to citizens, refugees, troops, they would have won already, hence why this topic cannot emphasize enough on the importance of farming to the country and it's economy.

A hungry man is an angry man. A well fed man is one that would be able to do work well, think well and help develop the society at large.

Of course, we as humans need food to survive, and with this of course we need the help of other people. This is where helping each other is important, because not everyone can do everything. there are farmers who take care of our basic kitchen needs, if there are no farmers then we will have difficulties too, it will be difficult with food that no one can take care of, with the existence of farmers in my opinion they have helped many people and I think farming is one of the jobs that have made great contributions, we must be grateful to those who have helped make things easier for us in terms of our basic needs for survival.

But to be able to get basic needs, of course it's not free, we have to have money as a medium of exchange, we can get the necessities we need to survive by buying them. In my opinion, agriculture is very important in all countries, because everyone who lives needs food to survive. It is impossible for anyone to survive without fulfilling their basic food needs.
642  Economy / Economics / Re: Poor people need solution now on: March 23, 2024, 05:23:19 PM
If the poor people need solutions, that means even the rich need solutions to their financial or business problems, right?
But of course poor people face more problems compared to rich people; that's obvious, and there's no need to ask honestly.

That's why poor people should be more strategic so that they can solve their problems immediately and prevent them.
Then the masses should also know the program that their government has for the poor to help them in their circumstances.

That makes sense, because even though they are rich doesn't mean they don't have problems, and maybe the problems occur in other things apart from finances, such as relationships. As far as I know, rich people usually have sufficient and stable finances, but they don't have good family relationships, sometimes they have problems with their family relationships being less than harmonious, because there are people who only focus on their careers so they don't have time to get together, if at all. There is free time, sometimes I prefer to use it to rest. and of course, if rich people have a business, they might have problems in their business as you said, because it is impossible for the business they run to continue to run well, there is a small possibility that there will be problems.

The main problem of poor people is of course finances, they definitely have problems, the main one being unstable finances. and to overcome this of course they have to earn money by working to improve their financial situation, because if not them then who will?
However, in my opinion, there are many people who are still lacking financially and economically, maybe because it is difficult to find work or maybe they don't have the desire to work and improve their family finances, but if that's the case, I think it's serious, because of course everyone wants financial freedom, so they have to fix it myself.
643  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your worst nightmare in a casino? on: March 22, 2024, 08:40:23 PM
I’m talking about the potential problem that you might encounter in the casino. Personally,  My worst nightmare that I don’t want to happened to me is when I hit huge jackpot while the casino investigate my account ask documents that will support my financial capability on gambling.

I’m only reading this issue on scam accusation but this is painful if happened to me like hitting max multiplier on slot games that result to 50K profit. Can’t imagine finally hitting my dream multiplier then casino seize my profit. This is just an abstract discussion so we are not really assuming that casino will do this especially the reputable casino.

Nothing scares me when I gamble. Issues like this above can be avoided if we take casino reviews seriously. I will not patronize any casino with negative reviews, especially on cases where gamblers find it difficult to withdraw their money when they win. Most of these casinos are manipulative and will bring up unnecessary challenges to their clients that will prevent them from withdrawing their earnings. When I gamble, I make sure my account is clean and free from any form of issue that will pose as a challenge. I do not need to go to the casino with fear and doubts, I  cannot stay where my peace of mind is being threatened. Some of these challenges can actually be avoided if we take note of the possible things that might be a challenge.

When you are one of the gamblers who is so meticulous and involved with full vigilance and strong discipline by always obeying the rules that have been applied and suggested by the casino then yes maybe we will not experience something that we worry about such as having problems or failures when trying to cash out the results of the winnings that we get when we are lucky. I'm sure that you will see first about how the reputation of the casino is before you get involved and bet, and if you think it is reliable then yes I think we don't need to worry too much.

I think this incident is not uncommon and I also have one friend who is a victim of irresponsible casino fraud where the casino did not pay the winnings won by my friend and in the end they froze my friend's account, but yes I can't fully blame the casino because this world is filled with people who have bad intentions that sometimes we never expect scenarios, and maybe I would blame more on people who are less careful, but on the other hand ignorance about the potential for fraud like this can also be a trigger.
644  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: March 22, 2024, 08:12:01 PM
I understand that losing money is a situation that no one wants to be in and one of the reasons why many people suggest to treat gambling as a fun activity while on the other hand they have the possibility to lose money is actually a mindset that you should not make gambling a place to earn income, because this is the only approach that is really best if you want to stay involved in gambling.

After all gambling is always about risky decision-making activities but on the other hand you can minimize the possibility of risk which as I said above that making gambling a place to seek pleasure is the best approach because then I think you will not put seriousness and hope in winning, So the idea of gambling for fun is nothing more than an approach that is indeed more advisable but it does not mean that you will not lose but you will not experience excessive emotions due to defeat which basically emotions can make a gambler experience a more significant defeat because of making decisions based on emotions.
645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: March 22, 2024, 07:52:32 PM
Generally, addiction never gives us positive results but disastrous losses. Addiction can influence your thinking and behaviors which is usually a reason why we can no longer think of the right thing to do instead, most of the wrong decisions.

Gambling sites always remind us gamblers to gamble moderately they want us to become responsible despite the fact that they want to have more gamblers. Unfortunately, addiction still exists in gambling due to losing control of emotions which anyone could experience.
Taking in just enough is fun, taking in too often already starts having problems and taking in too much will cause many abnormal signs, this is how gambling as well as many other games work, a gambler who has only bet very little in the past has little to no history of losing while a more frequent player has shown signs of relative loss and on the other side, there are people who live and die by gambling every day. The casino's warnings only imply that they are following the law and have given advice, they show responsibility but they do not strongly prevent it, it is almost like the addiction only gets worse with each passing day.

Yes but not everyone comes with the goal of fun so they don't take things in moderation and instead prioritize overdoing it, but on the other hand yes what you said is true that this is how gambling works but overall I think we have to admit that the aggressive gamblers who are on the wrong and unadvisable path are more than the gamblers who stay and maintain a safe zone that can make them avoid unwanted possibilities.

One of the reasons I think it's obvious is that most gamblers can't afford to ignore the chances of winning, I understand that everyone wants to win but the problem is that they take the pursuit of winning too seriously so that in the end the situation is reversed where they end up losing a large amount of money but that's natural because after all gambling is not an activity that should be taken seriously.
646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: March 22, 2024, 06:16:25 PM
Rich or poor cannot be used as a benchmark for who should take greater risks in gambling, because each individual has a different financial situation which in turn the perspective on money will also be different, or what I mean is that simply for a poor person $100 is very large but for a rich person it is a small amount and the point is that rich or poor they still have to take risks that they are able to take responsibility for such as putting small amounts of money on gambling.

We must understand that gambling is nothing more than a probability activity that only provides two possibilities, namely winning or losing, and the name of the possibility can never be known about certainty, so it means that no matter how much you put money in gambling with the aim of getting a much bigger win then it will not affect the results at the end of the session, still in the end if you are unlucky then you will lose or vice versa. Therefore, putting a lot of limits is always recommended because of the possible risks that you can never avoid completely and also because of this possible risk we are advised to make gambling a place to have fun without putting any expectations on winning.

I agree with you, that makes sense too. because every person has a different financial situation, and in my opinion this also depends on the gambler's approach to gambling, because even though their finances are bad, if they have a strong approach to gambling because they are chronically addicted then they will gamble even though They don't have good finances, but if they are seriously addicted then it is very likely that they will force themselves to continue gambling by doing anything that can make money for gambling.

That's true, indeed gambling will only end with two possibilities, namely winning or losing, but in my opinion what will happen more often is that the end of gambling is losing. We have to be aware of that, because it's true what you said is that the possibility cannot be guaranteed in the end, but with gambling the only thing that can be guaranteed is defeat.

Good point, we'll leave aside the rich or poor bit and it's true that it all still depends on how they approach gambling, if it's basically as you say that they have a strong ambition and enthusiasm for gambling along with some addictive mindset then it doesn't matter if they're poor they're still going to treat gambling with an aggressive approach, and the point is rich or poor if you have the wrong approach to gambling then obviously the rich are going to be poor and the poor might sacrifice their lives just for one spin based on luck.

One of the reasons why losses are more common than wins is because casinos apply a larger percentage of losses than wins, and I think it's a natural thing because after all this is a business for casinos which as we often hear that overall wins are actually only for the casino itself in the long run, and gamblers only get occasional wins that come by "chance" and also those that depend on luck, this is the reason why you can lose more if you basically put seriousness because all wins are nothing more than "possibilities".
647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A personal view on: March 22, 2024, 05:56:25 PM
I genuinely do feel bad about it each time I lose a gamble (usually on cryptocurrencies). But then I think- "it's all part of the game" and I instantly feel better again, HA!
Is it that easy for you to do that? Grin Most gamblers would at least take a day or two to get out of the remorse when they lose something significant, by something significant I mean money that is higher than the decided budget, and if you lose that, you would probably hate gambling and your decisions for a couple of days and then you will get back to it thinking that you wouldn't make the same mistake again.  Grin

If your emotions are so soft that you can just think that it's part of the game and you instantly feel better, you are lucky, because most gamblers would not be able to have such control over their emotions which is the basic reason why they get addicted to gambling because they can't convert their minds and control the urge to gamble more.

Basically having the ability to accept the fact of risk and losing in gambling is good and is indeed one of the requirements for responsible gambling and is indeed quite recommended because with this you will not be trapped by your own emotions when you lose, but on the other hand this ability should not be utilized, or it means that you continue to gamble indefinitely and if you lose then you will say that "this is part of the game", The concept is not like that, which is where losing should be a lesson, I'm not saying that you can refuse to lose because the name of defeat will not be avoided completely, but what I mean is that you also have to have limits both in terms of budget and also the time of involvement which will make you probably lose less often because you have limited or not too frequent involvement time.

Yes, it is true that most gamblers do not have this ability, or they are not able to accept the consequences of losing at the end of the session where most of them are stuck in their own emotions due to not being able to accept the fact of losing, and maybe I would mention that it is a typical irresponsible gambler or loser who wants to win but is not ready to lose.

648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling still pays regardless of our losses on: March 22, 2024, 05:25:43 PM
So I brought this topic to let us know that in gambling, if you just play it as though you don't take it seriously whether you win or lose then you might surprisingly win an amount that will amaze you one day ...
This has a lot to do with psychology, as if we don't need to win in some matches and if we lose it's not a problem, but what comes is not defeat, but instead an unexpected victory. We are ready to lose, but instead we win, and this has happened to me myself...

Luck does not come according to what we expect, but winning in gambling with this kind of psychological method cannot be repeated. Its presence is truly coincidental and cannot be easily predicted. I consider this just a coincidence that is difficult for anyone to repeat.

Yes this is about the ability to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session, and I would say that the ability to accept the fact of losing is an important point that all gamblers should have, I'm not saying that you will always lose but certainly this ability will be able to prevent you from making impulsive decisions when you lose, this ability does not mean that someone always wants to lose and also does not mean that this can increase the chances of winning, but what is certain is that losing is not a big deal if you are able to have this ability to accept.

As you said, you have experienced this and I am the same as you, and I think many gamblers have also experienced it. On the other hand, the ability to accept the fact of losing is the same as you recognizing that winning is a matter of luck which as you said above that luck does not always come as we expect and that is true because winning is always nothing more than a "coincidence" situation.
649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: March 22, 2024, 04:01:00 PM

Gambling is very attractive and unless one starts gambling with a fixed budget no one can quit gambling until they run out of money. a person who understands when to stop gambling and follows it properly can save himself from gambling addiction. And by keeping themselves away from gambling addiction and gambling for fun, they can protect themselves from vices and enjoy life.  And those who are more emotional and don't follow limitations are certain to suffer

I Don't think no one can stop gambling unless they ran out of money? it depends to a person because I've known some people who's just go to a casino to bet a few times and they don't let their budget money run out even if they experience a win, they don't make that a reason to gamble longer, there you can see how dedicated a person is to following his own rules when it comes to gambling, But I also believe that no matter how determined a person is not to become an addict, we can never predict what the possibilities will be.

If the question is which more people gamble without applying limits and controls with people who have limits and are able to control their gambling activities then maybe I will agree with the opinion of everyone here that most gamblers are involved without being able to control their gambling activities but they are the ones who are controlled by gambling in the record of treating gambling in a way that is not recommended. On the other hand I am not saying that there are no gamblers who are able to control their gambling but it is probably very rare for people to be able to do that because most of them are too focused on the chances of winning that they even go to the extent of justifying all means to pursue something that basically does not have any certainty and guarantee.

Like what you said about some people going to the casino where they come only for a few times and not to spend all the money they have, and this is the approach to healthy gambling where there is no element of excess. The point is that if the gambler is able to control the gambling activity properly and knows when to paddle and when to stop then it is those who are able to control their gambling properly or can also be called responsible gamblers. But on the other hand yes even if they are responsible it will not be able to completely rule out them from bad possibilities such as addiction over time, we don't know.
650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: March 22, 2024, 03:40:46 PM
Yes, it is true that this is a common problem that almost most gamblers have experienced and do it where they are unable or have difficulty in ignoring the greed aspect of themselves, I think it all happens because they are too excessive in terms of responding to the big wins they get so they get carried away and think that if they continue the session then they will get a bigger amount of winnings, even though in fact feelings will never affect the name of victory or that means your feelings and beliefs will not be able to make the chances of winning higher because you will still lose when the luck is gone.

And usually this is what is experienced by gamblers who come with the intention of earning and who are also always greedy when they get a win which in the end they regret it because they lose everything they have got again. However, gambling is a probability activity which means that it is nothing more than a possibility and certainly victory will not always come in the way you want. One of my suggestions is that you try to maintain your consciousness in various situations whether you win or lose and also always be rational, because I think when you are in a conscious situation then you will not make careless decisions that will ultimately worsen the situation.
great suggestion and I agree with it.
but sometimes the gambler realizes that he has won. But his greed changed him to continue the game until he finally lost. I just don't know how to stop when I win.

In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good understanding of how gambling works and how winning works, they only know and only remember that gambling can produce winnings or can multiply the money they bring but they don't know how they win, and indeed victory is always unpredictable, so we say that victory always depends on how lucky you are when running the session, And that means that those who find it difficult to put aside the greed in themselves when they manage to get the victory is because they do not have the right understanding of what gambling really is, they like to ignore the aspect of risk or the possibility of defeat which is clearly - obviously can never be avoided in gambling.

So I would simply say that it's not a win if you basically haven't been able to decide to cash out as soon as possible, because basically even if you have managed to get a win but it's not the end of the session, because obviously there will be greed that will haunt your mind with the lure of getting a bigger amount which is basically nothing more than a temptation that has no certainty whatsoever, and I would say to you that you can never get a real win if you can't put aside the greed in your mind, and my suggestion is that you should emphasize to yourself that the possibility of losing will always be involved in gambling, meaning that you should have a high concern for the money you have won, or you should think that if you continue with greed then there is a possibility that all the money you have won will be lost again, so don't just think about the chances of winning but the possibility of risk must also be considered and considered.
651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done something crazy to bet? on: March 22, 2024, 03:18:43 PM
Honestly so far and as long as I've known or been involved in gambling I don't think I've ever done anything too crazy in terms of betting, and maybe there are some people or gamblers who go to any means just for the sake of winning, but as we know that is the wrong way. I admit that I've also gambled amounts that were beyond my means but it wasn't as crazy as when you gamble away all your life savings for just one spin like the case being discussed on another page.

This means that I risked an amount of money that I could not afford to lose for nothing more than experimental purposes and wanted to prove whether the amount had an effect on the results or not, but it turned out that it had no effect at all, which meant that I still lost, So in the end after that I was no longer interested in trying some things that were beyond my ability which now makes me gamble with the amount I can afford to lose only, and sometimes it also depends on my desire, or that means even though I have money ready to lose in gambling but if for example I am not interested in gambling then I will not do it, but maybe someone else's story will be different.
652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamer's fan took his own life due to addiction on: March 22, 2024, 02:58:07 PM
When a boy or a girl becomes completely addicted to gambling and when he gambles excessively he not only harms himself but also harms his family. If a teenager or teenager becomes addicted to gambling at this age, they will directly pressure the family for the money they need for gambling, and by pressuring the family, they will try to manage the money in different ways. When the family agrees to pay him at some point he will threaten to kill himself and put more pressure on his family which will put more pressure on the family and he will be under a lot of stress. 

If gambling can be done responsibly at a certain age then gambling is fine but excessive gambling will not bring any good to a gambler.
That's their own fault, no one ask young people to gamble, many casinos already state make sure you're 18+ years old upon creating account.

The family need to brought them to rehabilitation, perhaps they can recover from their addictions, if not the family need to take a step to kick them from family members otherwise they will keep bring new problem to the family.

Yes, it's all their own decision and based on their own consent, but on the other hand I can't be too sure that they really made a decision based on a good level of awareness along with a rational attitude in terms of considering before finally entering and getting involved in gambling, because looking at the impact they experienced I think we can already conclude that they came with the wrong understanding, this is regardless of age because I think it is unlikely for a teenager who wants to gamble to look first about the provisions provided by the casino about gambling is only allowed for the age of 18+.

On the other hand, if indeed the gambling activities carried out are known by the family then it is clear as you say that the family must move quickly to overcome this problem such as taking them to a rehabilitation center or to a psychological expert to restore their mindset to a more rational direction, and I am sure that the family will be very concerned about the good of their family members who have fallen into gambling (regardless of whether they are addicted or not) because however over time gambling can trigger many problems, especially if it is done by a minor whose mindset is still unstable.
653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: March 21, 2024, 11:17:34 PM
Losing is without a doubt something that is very common when we gamble, but at the same time we cannot get used to it, because if that were to happen then even if we were to lose a lot of money, it is possible we could think of it as nothing out of the ordinary, when in fact this is not the case as the majority of the people never lose that much when gambling, so we need to remain alert and monitor ourselves constantly as a way to avoid making such mistake.
No matter how often that we lose, nobody will love to always be a loser, because there is need to win and feel the other side of gamble, and not to be losing all the time. Any gambles without winning, and he is always losing should stop gambling because his luck is not in gambling. Perhaps if they gambler in question is cool with his loss, then there is hope that he might win someday.

Since losing occurs more than winning, one should only gamble for fun, so that you will not bother much about your losses, and you should also gamble with only the amount that you can afford to lose.

Gambling should not be taken seriously as it is nothing more than a probability activity that provides nothing more than the possibility of winning without any certainty that you can win, everything is always random and therefore some people who think using common sense choose to make gambling a place to fill their time to get entertainment and relieve boredom, which means that if you feel that gambling is interfering with other aspects of your life such as losing balance because you keep losing then obviously you should be able to stop by yourself without having to be told by someone else.

In fact if you engage in gambling based on a correct and proper understanding especially about the difficulty of winning because it always depends on luck then I think you can definitely make decisions according to what should be done which leads to a better situation, and if you are one of those gamblers who really struggles to accept the fact of losing then I think you are an irresponsible gambler and I hope you can change all your mindsets about gambling because obviously the inability to accept defeat is something that can trigger a lot of out of control actions.
654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: March 21, 2024, 10:57:08 PM

Greed exists in every individual. it might be easy to say not to be greedy. In practice, for example, let's say you get a jackpot when you bet. did you stop then and there? definitely not, your mind will say try again, who knows, maybe you will get the jackpot again or at least you can get more than just now. that's greedy. It's difficult, but it's the main trigger for losing when gambling.

Yes, I don't deny what you said, that it is not easy to do, it is true what you said, it is very likely that if I get a big jackpot, maybe I will gamble again and that is a normal thing and what it is. will be experienced by many other gamblers. but at least I am just giving advice to other gamblers that if they can control their greed then they will be lucky later.

we've all experienced it. Maybe you have some tips for this problem. because if you look at it, this is a common and basic problem that must be resolved so that it doesn't become a problem when we are gambling.

I often advise friends, even myself, about this problem, but sometimes I still can't control it and it ends in defeat.

Yes, it is true that this is a common problem that almost most gamblers have experienced and do it where they are unable or have difficulty in ignoring the greed aspect of themselves, I think it all happens because they are too excessive in terms of responding to the big wins they get so they get carried away and think that if they continue the session then they will get a bigger amount of winnings, even though in fact feelings will never affect the name of victory or that means your feelings and beliefs will not be able to make the chances of winning higher because you will still lose when the luck is gone.

We all know that it's not going to happen at most of the gamblers whether you have confidence and money in your savings to bet.

This is a rare situation that the guy was just found luck with what he did and it's documented. As part of the reminder that we used to tell to everybody about gambling with what we can afford to lose.

We're aware of that but despite that awareness that we've got, there are still a lot of gamblers fall with their own misery and wrong calls of decisions as they gamble.
Gamblers are always ready to take the risks, they don't relent but bring on the gigantic winnings because they're always ontop and hitting targets. A man betting his life savings on gambling spells out a bad omen and he will live to regret his actions only when his bets didn't trigger winnings. Losing is never the interest of most of these gamblers, we will continue to forward our efforts to have brighter future in the space. Gambling is not for those that are relenting, rather its for the desperate gamblers that are evolving round the system. We gamble because we're in need of finances.

Yes but what is wrong is those who are too ready in terms of taking risks which means that it is an action that will trigger bad possibilities, as you said that everyone especially gamblers do not like the name of losing money especially with large amounts, therefore over-treating gambling like the one mentioned by the OP by risking all his life savings in just one round is a stupid act and decision where he is like risking his life on uncertainty which in the end will trigger a lot of problems and regrets.

On the other hand it is a wrong mindset if you expect a bright future in gambling, because it is like you are chasing your own shadow, because indeed gambling is not a place to earn but nothing more than an activity to fill your spare time and also gambling is not for those who are stronger but only for those who are able to keep everything well such as applying many restrictions and also have the ability in terms of controlling everything well and not for those who never give up.
656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: March 21, 2024, 09:01:21 PM
Its humans nature never accept loss and always find reasons in someone in somewhere, when they itself are the reason for that loss. Few people can accept that they were wrong and admit it. Many will always search who to blame and find 100 excuses why they have lost. They do it for two reason, they are always right/they cant be wrong. This applies to all areas. In gambling they lose because of someone. On the forum they dont get merit because people are greedy. At work they earn low, because the boss has favorite colleagues, at school/university they fail because teachers on purpose put them low grades, food that they prepared taste bad because ingredients were spoiled and etc.

Yeah, but it's to our benefit to stop thinking like that? I mean, we should stop to blame others when in fact it's we ourselves or our fates to blame. It will not improve our chances of winning on slots, but it will decrease negative effects our losses might have on us for sure, and will our gambling experience better overall.

Basically, yes, this is the business of each individual, which means that all the results at the end of the session are purely the responsibility of the gambler himself, even though you basically follow the methods of others but still that you follow their methods based on the consent of yourself which means that whatever the results at the end of the session, especially losing, you are the one who must take responsibility for everything. The fact that you blame others for your losses is what leads me to conclude that you are an irresponsible gambler.

After all gambling is a profit-making activity that stands behind the word "chance or possibility" which means you can be in one of the outcomes at the end of the session between winning or losing, and also gambling is an activity that is always at risk which means however you can never avoid losing and if you lose then it is normal because gambling is not an activity to make money but nothing more than an activity to have fun when you have boring free time. Simply put if you lose it means you are unlucky or vice versa, therefore the act of blaming others for the losses we experience is ridiculous.

A gambler who is trying to win back his past losses should first consider why he changed his goals. After all, initially such a gambler most likely came to the casino to win. Having lost money he wants to return it. Only he does not realize that now it is now the money of the casino with which it clearly does not want to part with. Therefore, play only on the money that you are not sorry to lose, and better yet, immediately say goodbye to the money that you funded your casino account. So it is easier to accept their loss, and after all, losing is an integral part of gambling.

True, they should really reconsider their intentions and goals by thinking rationally and looking at gambling from various sides especially from the risk of possible losses that can never be tolerated, but it is a fact that most gamblers will not think in this direction, it is unlikely that they will consider first before finally making a decision. One of the reasons is because they have a hard time accepting the fact of losing or losing money in the previous session until in the end all they can think of is "I'm flowing back something I lost".

Yes, it is true that they are typical gamblers who come with the intention and purpose of seeking victory that they are even willing or dare to do everything possible even if it endangers themselves, it's all for the sake of victory that they think is easy to get, and obviously in the end they will definitely be trapped in the cycle of digging holes cover holes which means they pursue victory to restore something that has been lost.

It is a fact that they are gamblers who do not have a proper understanding of gambling and how winning actually works is nothing more than a chance and not a certainty, so it is only natural that losing always happens because winning is a result that can never be known no matter how skilled you are. As you said, in the end there is nothing better than gambling moderately by risking something we can afford to lose, betting small amounts and having the ability to accept defeat is a healthy approach to gambling.

Always gamble by utilising your head, not your heart. Your club doesn’t give a damn about you so don’t risk your finances betting on them to win.

Sure, support your team, be passionate but don’t regularly bet on them to win just because of your love for them, it’s a guaranteed way to lose money.

Exactly you said something right and in accordance with the facts, basically the team you favor will not care about anything you experience there, so all decisions are in your hands which means all the impacts you experience on the decisions you have made are all purely risks that you must take responsibility for yourself and no one else or even your favorite club will care about anything you experience. Therefore, of course, calculate everything well and consider carefully.

Simply put, if you are not able to take responsibility when it turns out that at the end of the session you lose, then it is clearly better to just watch your favorite team compete without betting at all because this way you will clearly not lose unnecessary money if it turns out that you really lose. Basically, it is not a problem to bet because after all it is purely your own money but the most important thing is to bet something that has a high probability only, or in the sense that if for example you believe that your team of pride can win against the opposing team based on the track record of a team then it does not matter.

The closest people will know that you gamble no matter how it will be hidden they must know it, now imagine gambling is almost everyone knows even though they never play for example.

There will be more people covering up their shame than saying that they are addicted, which is clear that they know how to do it, they just don't explain that they also have the same problem.
Whatever habits we do, of course the people closest to us will know about it and we can't hide it from them, yes of course everyone knows about gambling even if they don't play it and we won't be able to hide it and it would be better for us to gamble by limiting it. the bets we play so as not to have a bad impact on the people closest to us, of course each person will not reveal themselves to be addicted to gambling and they will continue to hide this habit so as not to disturb the people closest to them.

I don't think it will always be known especially if the gambler really keeps his gambling activities secret especially from the closest people such as family members especially if their environment strictly prohibits gambling activities, but it is a fact that over time they will eventually be found out by their families about their gambling activities, that's because over time the finances of a gambler will usually be disrupted especially if they are one of the irresponsible gamblers in the sense of always chasing victory or treating gambling in an excessive way.

True, gambling by applying limits along with applying management to budget allocations is a recommended approach and indeed this method is one way that we can slightly avoid bad possibilities which of course will not only harm ourselves but as you say that can also have a negative impact on the people around us, as much as possible we should be able to maintain and manage it properly.

The craziest thing I've done and I hope I will not do it again was using my salary to bet on horse racing, my friend considered himself because he always boasted that he always hit the WTA Jackpot or Winner Take All, so upon his urging, I was enticed to gamble my salary.
-snip-
LOL, you trust your friend's insistence too much let alone use the money from your salary.
That's quite risky and losing 80% of your salary is a painful thing.

You're still lucky there's 20% left, most people bet until nothing is left.
It is a valuable lesson that do not believe and do not want to be influenced by the invitation of others, whoever it is.
If you can't control yourself, then don't spend the money you use for your life.

I think it seems like he never gambled before or never knew how winning in gambling works so he followed his friend's invitation without doing any consideration beforehand which in the end he had the courage to use more than half of his salary in one occasion, honestly for myself even if someone forces me to follow what he does like getting involved in gambling with lures that sound very tempting I don't think I will follow him unless he threatens me with something that can harm me, but I think that's unlikely.

And another thing from what he experienced it seems like he really didn't use logic and common sense before finally following something suggested by his friend, basically it doesn't matter if you want to follow something suggested by your friend even though it's basically wrong but what you have to think about is safety for yourself, and by looking at the scenario above in my opinion most likely he didn't think at all about the possible risks involved in gambling so he dared to put a large amount of money from his salary, it's like you work to sweat every day but when you get your salary you give it to the bookie instead. On the other hand yes this is a pretty good lesson to be made an example of, we must take lessons and my advice is that I hope you or whoever it is to first look from various sides rationally to whatever you want to do.
