681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is Legal In Our Country But if You Promote It Online You'll Go To Jail? on: March 19, 2024, 05:46:57 PM
Honestly, I don't understand the rules or laws like this in a country, people are allowed to gamble but they are not allowed to publish the results of their gambling activities such as when you get a win that you want to show off in the public eye or anything else that smells of gambling and will be subject to quite severe penalties if you end up breaking it. But if you look at the gambling access provided by the government which is in the form of real or physical gambling that you can find in various corners of the city then it seems that in my opinion the government is trying to limit gambling from most children, because as we know that this is the digital age where children today spend more time playing smartphones when they have free time such as after school.

Or simply your government seems to only allow adults to engage in gambling and is trying to cut off the reach of gambling from children so they made this kind of regulation that prohibits anyone from publicizing it by posting on some social media, but it could be that my prediction is wrong, but I think it doesn't matter because this is my point of view for this quite confusing regulatory issue. Cheesy
It's basically saying you are free to gamble when of legal age but keep your gambling activities to yourself which is not a bad policy in itself. I personally have no problem with that since you don't really need to brag about winnings and encourage others to do the same or follow your footsteps. Most people who post such things are looking to earn from referrals or from sponsorships so it's better to just cut it off.

Yes that's right, for some people who are always closed or don't overreact when they get a win for example or even when they are one of the people who are quite closed in their lives then rules like this really won't be a problem because they are just connoisseurs and not someone who always has the ambition to brag about the results of their gambling activities. On the other hand, from what you said, I think I would conclude that you are directing your ideas to some people who do act as promotional agents of casinos such as stremers or influencers who always advertise on some social media with the aim of attracting many people who in turn get benefits or income from sponsors who are their partners.

This is another thing that is different from what I said earlier where now we see from another point of view about why a country applies this kind of regulation that maybe they are limiting the promotion of online-based gambling in their country so they prohibit anyone from posting anything that smells of gambling on some social media but still I think limiting the reach of children is one of the government's goals also by implementing regulations like this.
682  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which of these betting Statements Do you Agree or Disagree With? on: March 19, 2024, 05:07:58 PM
One of the reasons why gambling has a negative viewpoint in the eyes of society in general is because it is all the result of the gamblers who treat gambling in the wrong way that causes bad effects to occur which in turn society claims that gambling is a bad activity. Gambling is a game of "chance" which means that everything there is nothing more than a chance and not a certainty, and this is why we are prohibited from chasing something that has already been lost because what is feared is that it is very possible that what happens is that you experience more losses, I think the bad effects experienced by gamblers who are already addicted should be an example and a lesson for us so that we do not have the same fate.
There is an aspect of gambling where the role of individual behavior and responsible decision-making shapes perceptions of the activity within society. Gambling itself is a game of chance, but it's the way in which people approach and engage with it that determines its impact. The negative effects are observed within society, it can contribute to a negative perception of gambling as a whole. Not all people who gamble experience these negative consequences, many engage in the activity responsibly and for recreational purposes.

Responsible gambling practices can help mitigate the risks associated with gambling and promote healthier outcomes for individuals and communities. The experiences of gamblers who have faced addiction and its associated challenges can serve as valuable lessons for others that implies the importance of understanding the risks involved and exercising caution when engaging in gambling activities.

Perhaps you have heard of the idea that "a thousand good things can be covered by one bad thing" which means that even though there are still some gamblers who treat gambling without crossing the line and always treat gambling according to their abilities which we usually call responsible gamblers, but still in the end, society can have a bad perspective on gambling activities due to the actions of one addicted gambler who treats gambling in the wrong way which triggers many bad effects on his life.

As you said, gambling can have a worse impact on a person when they are on the wrong path or in the sense of treating gambling in a way that is not recommended which ultimately destroys their own life. The other thing is that yes responsible gambling practices can indeed keep a person safe and secure in the sense that it is a little bit avoided from the bad possibilities of gambling but unfortunately I don't think many people are able to do it which is even the opposite which is where more gamblers come with the wrong goals due to misunderstanding what gambling is actually about which ultimately makes them stuck in the downturn.
683  Economy / Economics / Re: How can it be possible coping with one source of income on: March 18, 2024, 09:43:03 AM
Everything depends on the way you manage things. It is wise to make calculations based on what you earn. When you make such calculations, we'll learn how to limit ourselves. When we don't take income into consideration, we'll end up in debt. Whether it is a single source or multiple sources of income, it doesn't matter at all. How we skillfully handle the needs and fulfill the family and personal needs is the success of our money management. If we've got the thought that the income source needs to be increased, then within the earnings we need to allocate more towards investment, which assures better income for the future.

Indeed, we should be able to adjust our own income to our circumstances and desires, don't force ourselves too much to achieve everything we want, if our financial situation is inadequate then it is not recommended to force ourselves. Balancing your income with your own needs and desires is a must, because that way we can run everything well, but if we can't balance the income we earn by managing it incorrectly then what will happen is only problems. It is possible that when financial problems occur, there are thoughts of borrowing money, where this loan will become a problem in the future because every time the interest will definitely be greater.

However, not everyone can make profitable investments, in my opinion it is a long-term investment, don't think that investment can be profitable in the short term. and I think before making an investment we also have to be able to pay attention to other things such as finances which must be stable, because to make an investment of course we have to be able to maintain it, don't be distracted when finances are in trouble, so not everyone can make an investment and everyone's desire is also their choice. It's different, it's not possible for everyone to want to invest in their life, some people just settle for saving.
684  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: March 18, 2024, 09:22:25 AM
well, however, both are important choices and perhaps every person should have them. However, investment and savings have their respective roles. both of these things need to be present. without one of them, it is very likely that one of them will be disrupted. For example, if we only choose savings, then we must be prepared to face inflation that occurs, and our assets may stop at the amount of our savings. This is quite troublesome when we do not have additional income from investments, because it may decrease quickly if we have an emergency need.
Meanwhile, investing without savings can put the investments we have in a situation where it might be easier for us to sell them. That's because we have no preparation for what lies ahead and only focus on investing. If our investment grows slowly, and our needs exceed the limit, then our investment must be sold. therefore, both are important. I also tend to try to do both.

I agree with you, there is a big possibility that if we only have or do one of these two things it might be disrupted, but in my opinion it depends on us ourselves. Because if our finances are stable and if we only have savings, this possibility will not be disturbed even if we just save. I have a friend whose finances are very stable, he doesn't make investments but he saves in many banks, where he chooses which bank to save and not to disturb his funds, and saves for financial funds that can be withdrawn at any time as long as we need them, in my opinion this is depending on our own finances and the way we manage our finances.

It would be a shame if the investment made had to be sold at the wrong time. Of course we want the best, including profits, which are the most profitable point, but if we sell it at the wrong time, of course it is not a desire but a compelling situation, so we have to do it even though the profit is not much or even at a loss. Therefore, before making an investment, in my opinion, we must have a reserve fund or emergency fund or other savings to deal with unexpected things, don't let the investment made be disrupted at the wrong time.
685  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything is over priced but people keep spending on: March 18, 2024, 09:00:58 AM
The cost of things has gone up so much so that it's glaring. Imagine paying 5-12$ for an average meal you could get before for 3$. The jump cost is extremely high. Cooking a meal at home can cost you the same amount you would spend on eating in a restaurant. Funny enough people still afford all these things without complaining. My anger is that we make money to spend it all into our normal life expenses. It's difficult now to save or invest unless you part of the rich people in society. An average man has to just eat, pay bills, and survive.

I think this is normal, the same as with basic needs, when agriculture experiences difficulties then the price of basic necessities is likely to increase, and there is no other way but to follow suit, although usually housewives can bargain over the price but the offer will not be accepted by the seller if the offer is not accepted, of course the seller also wants a profit so they maintain the price that has been set at the lowest price. Basic needs such as kitchen ingredients or other things such as paying bills may increase in price over time.

including your own needs, such as wanting to buy something you want, such as a gadget, vehicle or clothing that has a high brand and price. Well, many young people nowadays, in my opinion, only think about style, like forcing themselves to be able to own branded goods which are currently trendy, there are also young people who are willing to take out online loans to get money and buy what they want, sometimes they have taste. Even that style can kill us.
686  Economy / Economics / Re: Food security might not be a priority for younger generations. (2) on: March 18, 2024, 08:40:12 AM
Each person or certain generation is different in choosing their path in life, so differences in choosing investments also often appear to vary among current generations. And for those who have made profits through crypto investments and are returning to other investments in physical form in this world, that is a good choice and in general it will definitely affect their economy in their respective lives. Even though not everyone can get rich at the same time, at least there are many people who are willing to try their best to get more comfort and profit.

The cowboys who still manage their ranches are not people who deliberately choose to live a simple life, but they may already have more other assets out there so they can feel calm enough in taking care of their ranches. Because work such as livestock is always separate from Bitcoin, so anyone who has bought Bitcoin and holds it can of course still do other work such as taking care of livestock because it is a different job from what he bought before. So this certainly has nothing to do with Bitcoin or the ATH that Bitcoin has achieved.

In my opinion, currently with the current generation, they don't think about this, most of the current generation only think about styles that are currently trendy, because maybe that is one of the mandatory requirements for hanging out, whether it's because of prestige or thirsty for praise. they don't think about their future, maybe there is a small part of the current generation who think about their future, by doing hard work and saving or studying investments because they want their future to be able to achieve financial freedom. Everyone's desire is of course wealth and comfort, but there are people who don't want to try but want wealth or a comfortable life, that's annoying.

I think farming work or bitcoin investment are both good, I don't think either of these two things are bad. Of course, everyone has different thoughts, and as you said, everyone has their own path in life, maybe there are those who are comfortable with having a farm because it is a real activity carried out with body movements and so on. and it's the same with investments. both are equally good things.
687  Economy / Economics / Re: Isn't it all about money? on: March 18, 2024, 08:19:01 AM
going to school and having a degree or diploma is only a sign that we have studied, there is no guarantee that we can get the job we dream of, even though in my area there are some schools that provide certain learning and guarantee that we can work straight away after graduating, but the reality is No. If we really want success then we have to be willing to work hard, also with persistence, and that determination must be there to be able to achieve success, a degree cannot guarantee us success in life.
I have reviewed the current reality that having a degree or diploma only provides an opportunity to complete the administration to apply for a job but does not guarantee that you will get a job, however, the educational factor is the obligation to study for 9 years for basic education needs up to university level education, because without knowledge Basically we will not be able to develop the skills we have to get a job or open a freelancer for the purpose of achieving financial freedom, all these efforts are aimed at improving finances in the future.

The relationship between educational aspects and financial aspects is highly correlated, although some think they can also achieve success without having to have a degree, but this condition is not common because only a few people get luck from aspects of expertise that are not related to the need for an educational degree. However, in general, these opinions vary greatly depending on individual views, but the point is that they cannot separate education and finances because both are important aspects that must be achieved for a better future.
That's true, having a degree or diploma is one of the requirements for applying to a company, but it doesn't guarantee you can get a job. I agree with you, education is a must, because of course we have to have more or less knowledge about various things, going to school or studying certainly helps. By having knowledge we can develop the skills we have, but sometimes none of our skills are learned at school. What is clear is that if we really want to achieve financial freedom, in my opinion we have to be willing to work hard. Even though we don't have a high education or degree, that's not an obstacle in my opinion. Everyone can be successful if they have a strong will and determination.

I agree with what you say, you cannot separate education and finances, because in my opinion these two things are also important in life. I'm sure there are people who are not highly educated but can be successful and that must be used as motivation for us, with those of us who have a certain education we must be able to be successful, talking about destiny, if our situation is inadequate then that doesn't mean we have to stop there, of course We have to work hard to change our lives for the better.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does the game of luck in gambling really works? on: March 18, 2024, 01:00:13 AM
Everyone has their own point of view and perspective when it comes to assessing everything they encounter, such as in gambling, there are those who say that this is an activity that can be won by applying a pattern or strategy or any method and there are also those who really believe that gambling is nothing more than a game of chance that refers to luck, and from these two perspectives honestly I would be more supportive of the second idea where gambling is a matter of luck, because there are so many things that seem reasonable to be used as reasons why gambling is a game luck.

One of the reasons is that we often find that victory comes suddenly or by chance and is never known beforehand. Sometimes we can also win even though we don't expect it and I experienced this when I played carelessly with the amount. small but it turned out that the result was winning and the situation was reversed when I tried to gamble with the intention of seeking victory in several ways that my friend thought were accurate, such as applying certain strategies or patterns but the results were still not what I expected, and that means I believed that Gambling is an activity that relies on luck no matter how skilled you are, and if you ask about how luck works then you will never get the answer or a detailed explanation because you will only feel everything which makes you quite surprised at times.
689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A personal view on: March 18, 2024, 12:40:42 AM
Yes that's right, those who are sad to lose their money because of gambling are those who use more money than what they can afford to lose in gambling, maybe someone's view of having fun in gambling is different, the case may be like what you said we feel happy but we also feel bad because we lose like unlucky. This can also be different, there is someone who gambles no matter he loses even though the upset is there because he lost the bet to his friend, but does not see how much money is lost, but sees that when watching the ball is fun if betting, and losing is a reasonable option when not lucky, the important thing is that we are not impulsive if take a bet.
There are varying perspectives for people have regarding gambling and their reactions to losses. People who feel sad because of wagering more than they can afford to lose. This can lead to feelings of regret, frustration, and even guilt, particularly if the loss has significant financial implications. There are other people who focus more on the enjoyment of the experience rather than the financial outcome. For these people, the entertainment value of gambling may outweigh the negative emotions associated with losing money. They may view losses as a natural part of the gambling experience.

The social aspect of gambling, such as betting with friends or enjoying the excitement of watching sports events, can also influence the perception of losses. In these cases, the camaraderie and shared experience may mitigate the disappointment of losing money. Regardless of people attitudes toward winning or losing, the key to responsible gambling lies in maintaining control over their impulses and behaviors.

You are talking about two different types of gamblers here where the first are those addicts who always overdo their gambling activities such as by putting a budget amount that they are not able to account for which ultimately makes them end the session with various frustrations and regrets, but it is a fact that it keeps repeating or meaning they always repeat the same mistakes which ultimately experience the same situation of regret for the umpteenth time, and the second type of gamblers are those who treat their gambling activities reasonably or in terms of moderation and no excessive actions where they come with the intention only to seek entertainment in the middle of boring leisure time so obviously their main priority is to fill the time with pleasure and as you said that they consider that losing is a natural part or a natural thing that happens in gambling.

From the two types of gamblers above, it is clear that we can see and conclude that the second type is those who have a correct understanding of what gambling activities actually are, one of the reasons is because there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to always win in gambling and if you overdo it then obviously you will only experience many bad things such as losing a lot of money, and this is why the goal of entertainment is more recommended in gambling than earning because gambling is not a place to solve financial problems or not a place to make you rich instantly.

In the case that you mentioned above about the scenario of dealing with losing situations when you gamble with other people or friends I think you are right here, which is that togetherness can indeed reduce the disappointment of losing a little, the reason I think it is because the situation of togetherness indirectly makes the situation and circumstances exciting so that maybe they are not too fixated on the loss they experience, this is possible regardless of whether you are a responsible gambler or not.

691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: March 17, 2024, 11:59:22 PM

Logically right, even there are many influencers around, it's in your hands to make a decision though for some people they've been attracted with how influencers provides videos or information on how they are doing well with the service or product that they are promoting, it's on your own decision making whether to try following or just explore with your own strategy and process.

They being paid to make good reviews and to attract followers to use or buy services and products it's for the money and they will do everything to make it attractable and connects more people for the best outcome on their shares, either referrals or money making ads.
You are the ones who would really be making out such decision on which its true that no one forces you to play or make deposit on a certain site even into those influencers that you have seen
around. It would really be still with your own decision whether you would make yourself that being influenced or not. For me then i do see these streams but never ever i do make
myself having those registration whenever these influencers do telling me. It would really be just that depending into your own choice on which it would really be that impossible that
you wont really be wary about in the reality about of this market. You cant really just that make yourself that be profitable same of those streamers on which when you do
try to mimic out but still it wont really be that not just enough.

Yes, it's true that everything is up to or depends on the decision of each individual in terms of choosing, I understand that influencers or stremers show something that is difficult to ignore because indeed everything they get looks very tempting which in the end most people, especially those who are completely unaware of the real purpose of the stremers or influencers doing impressions, they will not hesitate to immediately follow and join something that is promoted by the stremer, which means that clearly the main target of these stremers is beginners who do not know at all about the dangers or great risks of gambling activities.

I understand that all decisions are in their hands but wouldn't people who are completely unaware of the world of gambling along with not knowing that something said and broadcast by stremers is a lie they will immediately join? of course, the logic is that the stremer shows how to get money easily in his gambling session with the aim that many people are tempted and enter to get involved in the site being promoted, so the choice in my opinion the correct choice is the choice that will be chosen by people who already know about the bad effects of gambling and also who already know that everything shown by the stremer is manipulation.
692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which of these betting Statements Do you Agree or Disagree With? on: March 17, 2024, 11:34:08 PM
I agree with your thoughts, but everyone certainly has different strategies and characters, but in your topic what do you want to convey? I don't really understand whether it's about risk or is there something else?
Everyone have their strategy but unfortunately,  the strategy of some people are leading them into actions and characters that makes gambling appear as evil. Because of the attitudes of some gamblers, gambling is hated by some parents even religious sects. Is it supposed to be like that? It simply means those people are not doing it the right way hence the reason I think the OP created this thread. If we can get some acceptable approach to gambling the helps the gambling mould his gambling habits, I think it is a welcome idea and should be supported.

From the reactions of people so far, it can be seen that chasing losses is bad and so is not knowing when to stop, someone with such habit will see that many other gamblers are not doing it and might consider not doing it too.

Yes, it is true that everyone has their own strategy or way of gambling and if what you mean is that some ways actually lead them to bad possibilities then I would say that they are typical gamblers who have the wrong mindset on gambling such as gambling with the aim of earning which ultimately leads to bad effects which actually I am sure that they do not want the bad effects to happen to them but the problem is that they are unable to resist the temptations that exist in gambling so that they gamble with intentions and goals that are not recommended.

One of the reasons why gambling has a negative viewpoint in the eyes of society in general is because it is all the result of the gamblers who treat gambling in the wrong way that causes bad effects to occur which in turn society claims that gambling is a bad activity. Gambling is a game of "chance" which means that everything there is nothing more than a chance and not a certainty, and this is why we are prohibited from chasing something that has already been lost because what is feared is that it is very possible that what happens is that you experience more losses, I think the bad effects experienced by gamblers who are already addicted should be an example and a lesson for us so that we do not have the same fate.
693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it on: March 17, 2024, 09:18:09 PM
It is an addiction. You are also losing which is another sign that it is an addiction. If you have stopped this habit, it will be good. If you do not stop, it may later has side effect on your health and which you will not like. I have this habit before but I have also stopped since few years ago. If you do not have time to gamble, do not gamble. If you want to gamble, gamble with little amount of money.

Basically it is us who have to make the decision to stop everything because obviously you can never get the real winnings because as time goes by even if you manage to get the winnings you expect still in the end you will always want a bigger amount, and it is also true that excessive involvement in gambling will not only have side effects on your health but also obviously on other things such as losing balance in your finances which will eventually make you experience financial problems.

After all gambling is basically not an activity that should be prioritized, it is just a game that is allowed when you have enough boring time without any activities, it's as simple as what you said and it's right that if you don't have time to gamble then don't gamble or when you don't have money ready to lose then don't gamble, it's better to gamble when you really have time and money that you can afford to sacrifice.

Yes the school period is a period of adolescence where we sometimes do silly or even stupid things and can harm or harm ourselves, but I think it's natural because adolescence is a period where we are very curious about the various new things we find, and from what I saw about your childhood story while still in school I think playing ordinary games involving money in it is a mindset that should be owned by a child who is still in his teens or adolescence who is still quite childish, I have never found some of my friends when I was in school who played card games or others involving money in it, we never thought in that direction because what we prioritized from the game was nothing more than temporary entertainment and fun in the middle of recess when the lesson hours had not yet begun, and it seems that I am quite curious about you about where you can think of involving money in a game that in general is usually more often done just to fill spare time to find excitement by children your age at that time.
695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Simple mistake that makes you lose everything on: March 17, 2024, 07:44:05 PM
I always have this kind of mistake before way back when I’m still inexperienced gambler. A simple mistake such as not placing a bet on a round that result to massive win just because my screen glitch makes me tilted that resulted to lose focus and bust all my bankroll quickly due to risky bets.

There’s some instances that I’m already winning big on blackjack then one of my bet is a pair of 10 which I accidentally double down instead of stand while I place huge bet triggers me a lot that result to terrible loss.

I’m sure many players here experience this kind of minor mistakes that resulted to terrible outcome. Share your story and let’s have fun hearing it. I hope there’s no BS story…

           -    I think you are not the only gambler who has experienced such a thing; many have faced such a scenario. There are times when other gamblers feel that way, and to be honest, sometimes greed also gets in the way. There are some people who think that they will bet everything because they think that if they hit, they will also win a lot of money.

But most of the time, in these kinds of exercises, one always experiences a big defeat in reality, and only rarely does one really hit in these situations. But most of them are not carried away; instead, they continue in this style.

I don't think it's a mistake but it's something that happens suddenly and you don't expect, meaning it's not your fault because obviously there's something going on that prevents you from betting or something. For me the real mistake in gambling is when you do something that can lead to bad effects in the long run such as applying greed as you said here which actually bad effects will not happen if for example you are able to control yourself, and obviously I would not say that anything is a mistake if it basically leads to a way to get a win.

We must understand that gambling is always random and you will never know what makes you win or what makes you end up losing, which means that most likely gambling is always about luck. On the other hand it is a wrong mindset if you assume that you made a mistake in gambling that made you lose, and it is also a wrong mindset if you are too confident and believe in something that you think can lead you to victory such as applying strategies or other methods, the real fact in my opinion is that winning always depends on how lucky you are at the time of running the session.
696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: March 17, 2024, 06:58:13 PM
Have you guys experienced any loss/win out of the issue with internet connectivity. I've mentioned about wins/losses, but mostly people get affected negatively when there is connectivity issues. I personally believe that the internet connection is also a reason with our gambling wins. Here it is about casino games and not sports betting.

Most of the time I gamble using the mobile device. The connectivity speed varies between locations and I've encountered with the rolls taking more time as well as the the rollers moving within the bar with sudden visibility. When I check the provably fair functioning, it does right. But, my mind has a thinking our loss is due to the internet connection.

Does any of you have similar experience or thinking.

One of the minor reasons of destroying our momentum in playing but I can't say it is the main reason why we lose in gambling because sometimes even if our internet connectivity is good, we rarely win. It's valid that we will regret it, but you don't need to blame everything on the internet unless you're sure that you're going to win, like you need to confirm an amount and then suddenly the internet goes crazy, such sample scenarios, but if you're in the middle of the game and suddenly there's of the problem, you can't blame the connectivity because you're still not sure that you're really a winner.

Yes, what you said is also true that we do not need to be too excessive in blaming something that is not really the cause as well as interference with the internet connection, because after all we never know about the actual results at the end of the session whether we will actually win or not, one of the reasons is because gambling is nothing more than a probability activity which means that maybe you will win but maybe you will lose at the end of the session, of course it can never be known even if you are very skilled.

This means that we have to go back to the original understanding and understanding of the basis of gambling which is always about uncertainty as to the outcome at the end of the session, I understand that having an internet outage when you are gambling is quite an annoying situation but on the other hand you don't need to be too disappointed and regret it because you don't know the end result, and I would say that disappointment and or excessive annoyance at something like internet interference is normal if you are basically at the end of the session where you see that it turns out that if there is no internet interference then you can win the game, but if the result turns out to be a loss then I think you don't need to be too excessive in blaming other things because even if such coincidental interference does not occur it is not certain that you can win.

Yes I agree with your idea that indeed gambling is nothing more than an activity to have fun when you have boring free time without putting any hopes or expectations, but what is unfortunate is that only a small percentage of people understand this, in my opinion it happens because from the beginning they only focus or focus too much on the "chances of winning" which is actually not as easy as turning the palm of the hand, they try to use gambling to change their fate instantly or that means they think that gambling is a way to get rich quickly.

One of the things that makes me unable to make gambling a place to earn is because after all there is absolutely no certainty in producing wins because everything goes randomly, I'm not saying that you won't be able to win but what must be remembered is that because there is no certainty that can guarantee you to win, it means that all wins will only occur by "chance" and also means that there is absolutely no element of consistency in it while on the other hand the possibility of losing always lurks you whenever you gamble. Therefore, I do not understand the mindset of people who try to make gambling a place to earn, and it has been proven as you said that there have been many incidents that we can make examples and lessons that such people end up with a lot of downturns, so instead of earning but in the end they suffer a lot of losses, this must be understood and do not let you go down the wrong path and belief in gambling.
When someone can used gambling to have fun in his free time and don't have expectations anything about winning on gambling, he will not have to gets trouble because he knows that gambling is not a way to make money. He will not playing gambling using too much money, and not too focus to win on the gambling games because he knows that's difficult. He just wants to spends his free time in his daily activities and will stops before his free time is ends. He will playing gambling easily and not thinks about the winning or losing because he realizes that gambling have that two outcomes.

We can't make gambling as a place to earn because gambling itself is not like that and only a ways to have fun in our spare time. And if someone trying to used that as a way to make money, he will needs to be ready to see a losses that can increased anytime because that can cause him getting lose much money. Playing gambling needs to moderately so we don't have to gets any problems because many people already have it and they are difficult to solve. Many people getting addicted to gambling because they used gambling excessively without control their gambling activity so that makes them used too much money and the worst is they becomes addicted to gambling. We must prevents that happens to us by always limiting ourselves when playing gambling so we knows how long we can playing gambling and not using much money like other people.

Well that's the point, as you said that when a person does not put any seriousness and purpose other than fun in gambling then most likely he will not have too much trouble especially in his financial situation, I'm not saying that this type of gambler will not lose but by having a non-exaggerated approach then this will be able to help them to avoid various bad possibilities such as losing large amounts of money or addiction, because their goal is just to seek pleasure in the midst of boring leisure time that they have so winning or losing doesn't matter and they will definitely be able to stop even if they basically lose.

Yes as I said earlier that one of the reasons why gambling cannot be used as a means of making a living is because there is absolutely no certainty for anyone to actually always produce a win at the end of the session, everything always comes suddenly or happens by chance without you knowing what causes you to get a win. So this is clearly the reason why we should not put the intention and goal to produce because it is clear that as experienced by gambling addicts that they experience a lot of problems and downturns due to such goals. I'm sure that no one wants to end up having a lot of problems in their life and that clearly means that you need to be able to control and treat gambling the way it's advised as you said which is to put limits on everything such as limiting the amount of budget, the time of involvement and also the expectations in mind.

What is gone is gone and, it will be better you face the presence with the amount of money you can afford to risk because if you continue chasing the losses in your gambling, it can lead you to be addicted to gambling and it can cause you to regret for such attitude you embrace.

 If you gamble for winning nothing wrong about that but if you are gamble to recover the losses you experience and you are trying to chase the losses with huge amount of money, it will never give you the kind of result you want.


It will not most of the time, but maybe if luck permits you might recover but the thing is, once you start winning again your apettite to continue playing got higher, instead of quitting after recovering your loss you will feel that aggression to keep the winning momentum, you'll choose to keep playing to try winning more money, as greed will dominate and ends up the same outcome as before.

Losing back all your money to the house as you did not take the advantage of quitting your way while you still have that chance.

Thoug, as long as you are using spare money that you can forget after losing, you might prevent yourself getting engage and lead your way to addiction.

Chasing a win to make up for something lost is basically a difficult thing to achieve and such success is very rare, and also usually yes as you said that even if someone manages to get a win but they think otherwise, or that means instead of securing the money from the win but instead continue the game because they feel that it is the right time to take revenge by chasing a bigger win which is basically clear you also know that in the end they end the session with disappointment.

This is basically a cycle that can never be completed unless you stop it by cashing in when you win or giving up something that has been lost, only these two ways can make you really stop, so this is why it is always recommended to gamble with the amount you can afford to lose, none other than because it is by using the method of a small amount that you can afford to lose then when in the end the session results really lose then you will not be too emotional and will not chase something that has been lost.

But remember only to one person and not publicize it to the public eye because obviously most people view gambling as a bad activity and should be avoided because this will actually cause new problems where people's perspective on you might be negative because they know that you are involved in gambling activities, it is very likely to happen even though for example you are basically one of the responsible gamblers who are able to manage your gambling activities well.
Yes, at least someone who can be trusted to know our gambling habits because if too many people know it will only add to our own bad image. I also only entrust my wife to manage my gambling budget because by entrusting someone to know our gambling habits, we can it helps when we experience a gambling addiction, usually people who are addicted to gambling need someone to remind us and also make us aware of the gambling addiction itself, it is important not to hide from ourselves that we are a gambler from someone we can trust and is closest to.

Usually people who like to cover themselves up and don't trust those closest to them or someone to find out that they are gambling will usually experience a pretty bad end. I once had a friend who was quite secretive so not many people knew he was gambling, people even thought he was an employee. OK, but it turns out that after a case of his house being confiscated by the bank, it turns out that he was involved in gambling and has been addicted to gambling for a long time, which is why it is very important to tell someone so that they can remind us when we forget ourselves and play beyond our limits.

True as I said earlier that this is one of the techniques that is smart enough to save ourselves from the possibility of bad in the long run due to wrong gambling, on the other hand gambling has the nature of stimulating one's brain and mind that can weaken the level of consciousness in the self and this happens because of the many things that look tempting in gambling that basically most gamblers find it difficult to ignore such things when they are involved in gambling, This means that it is very possible for us to get sucked in and carried away without realizing it which leads to worse possibilities, and this is the reason why I suggest telling one of our closest people that we trust as you said, because they have a pretty important role in terms of rescue actions for our own good when we are sucked in and carried away without realizing it.

Yes and it seems that people who are very closed are those who do have an introverted life in the sense that they are usually always closed in whatever they do and don't want to be known by others at all and yes I can't imagine how bad the impact they will experience if they are basically involved in the wrong gambling activities. On the other hand like the incident you told here about your friend who never told anyone about his involvement in gambling which eventually he had to lose his house, therefore I think telling one of our closest people whoever we trust is a good idea for prevention.

Yes simply it all depends on ourselves because the key is always about whether you are able to take responsibility for the decisions you have made or not, if not then think again and consider thoroughly using a rational mindset, lest you always end up with regret and disappointment due to your own actions that are not in accordance with your abilities. We come back to the real fact about gambling which is that it is a probability activity which means it is nothing more than a "possibility" of winning or losing, you or anyone else will never know the outcome at the end of the session because everything is random.

Therefore one of the reasons why we should bet within our means such as by using a budget amount that you can afford to be responsible for is because gambling always runs with the uncertainty of winning or losing while losing can never be tolerated, therefore of course it is best that we focus more on some precautions such as limiting the budget amount, It doesn't matter if you follow other people's ways but what is certain is that you must be able to account for everything at the end of the session, we must think of the long-term good rather than temporary pleasure, because many gamblers at that time also lost all the winnings they managed to get because they did not comply with the things that were suggested for their own good.
Gambling is fun when done well. I've always taught understanding your bounds, playing within your means, and taking full responsibility for your actions. Absolutely - its about potential, not certainty. Life is about that, right? Taking risks, making judgments, and adapting. This is a mindset, not just gambling. You need mental fortitude to manage ups and downs in a casino or boardroom.

These gambling recommendations are life lessons: limit your money, take responsibility for your actions, and prioritize the long term over the short term. Remember, gambling and life success depend on taking calculated risks and never regretting them. Have fun, play intelligently, and win in life and gambling.

Yes simply like that my friend, gambling will be really fun and you will feel the pleasure when you come with the right mindset and understanding that can ultimately make you treat gambling as recommended, In fact, the key is only this, namely having the right understanding along with knowing and realizing that risks will always lurk at any time so that with this then I think that indirectly you will be able to do the recommended things without having to be told by others, or the point is that gamblers who have the right understanding they will know what to do and what to avoid for their own good.

If we look at it from another point of view then I think gambling is like a place to train yourself, it's not always about winning or losing, but how good you are at dealing with problems and also how disciplined you are in following the things that are suggested for your own good as you said in terms of limiting money, time involvement and expectations in mind in the long run, this is the key so that you can remain a responsible gambler.
