681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lies told to cover up gambling habit on: July 27, 2024, 10:21:52 AM
Everyone knows that telling the truth is best, especially in a marital relationship, but things don't always work out best when we tell the truth. I do not encourage us to lie, but always telling the truth is not necessarily a good thing.

As in my case, because of the nature of my work and to get business contracts, I need to satisfy my partners. I regularly drank alcohol and participated in men's entertainment activities all night long with the aim of maintaining relationships and achieving profitable contracts for my business. Do you think if I told my wife the truth and we would be okay? I don't think every wife accepts and understands that, so in this case I will lie to ensure family happiness.

If your wife doesn't like gambling but it helps you have fun and relieve stress, then lying to gamble is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as you know what you are doing and stop at the right time to not let things get out of control and not affect your family. Lying in that case is not bad.
Many people still lie to their couple and not telling their gambling habit so that can makes misunderstanding between them. That will not be good for them because their household will always be noisy and can harmony. Small problem in their family can be bigger if they still lie to their couple because we may already seen many cases happens because of that. It is better we tells the truth that we sometimes playing gambling to release our stress and we don't use too much money to have fun in gambling.

If you think that it is better to tell your wife about your drink habit with your business partner, you can do that but you can underline to your wife that you do that because of your work. You can separate which is for your work and for your family so when you getting drunk and you come from, your wife will understand that. I think your wife is already know about your drink habit but she doesn't wants to ask for furthermore. Everything will depends on your situation and if you thinks that lying to your couple is good for you and your couple, you can still do that but you must know the consequences. Everything will have consequences and if you are ready with that, you can still do that.

What can be gained from gambling?  There are basically two types of experience gained in gambling, one is the experience of profit and the other is the experience of loss.
You take a bet in a gambling and if you win that bet, you will experience some kind of pleasure here for a short period of time, so here you can experience pleasure. On the other hand, if you lose in gambling, you will experience sadness for a temporary period or for a permanent period. But if you've been bankrupt for a long time, you're likely to experience the longest misery.
We only gets lose from gambling and if we can't control ourselves, that lose will be bigger than we can thaught. That's why we don't have to thinks to achieve anything from gambling instead just to playing gambling with moderation so we can control how much money we can lose. By moderation in gambling, we will know that we don't have to chase the winning instead to enjoy our spare time to playing gambling because that will be enough for us if we have fun.

We will not wants to experience sadness because that can effect to us and makes us desperate with what we gets from gambling. That's why we must always know how to treat gambling so we don't have to bankrupt and lose all of our money. By knowing about that, we will not wants to achieve anything from gambling besides of having fun because that can make us feels the bad experience from gambling.
683  Other / Off-topic / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: July 27, 2024, 08:29:32 AM
I believe that the real win in gambling is withdrawal because if you don't withdraw whenever you win a big bet, you will be tempted to play more. So after winning a bet, a gambler has to withdraw his money and spend it on his various activities only if he does not face any loss. I have seen many gamblers who win bets and then re-bet with that money to raise more money and lose them. I heard a story of a guy in my area who made good money winning bets himself, but he made a decision that was completely stupid. The man decided to double the amount of money he had bet but lost his money rather than doubling it. So I think it's always wise to withdraw the craps, because as long as you're gambling, you'll be tempted to gamble again.
That is right because if we can withdraw that wins money, we can uses that money for many things, including to celebrates it with our family and friends. But if we still keeps that money in our gambling account and thinks that we can use it to keeps playing gambling, that will not be a good idea because we can lose all of our money. We must not get tempts by continuing our gambling session especially when we can wins for some money.

We must remember that we can not always gets luck in the next rounds so we must uses our wins with right. Those gamblers who uses that wins money to keeps playing gambling and trying wins more money will not always gets the money because gambling will not allows them to wins more money. Rather than we lose what we have gets from gambling, it is better we withdraw the money and use it for our own good. That will be a wise decision because we can controls ourselves from the temptation of gambling and we always remember that we playing gambling is just for fun.
684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The benefits of Gambling on: July 27, 2024, 07:31:38 AM
Most of the topics we read are mostly mentioning about the negative side of gambling but I think we also discuss the positives of it...

1. Socialization
2. Income Generation
3. Employment
4. Support to the Gambling Industry

We've seen a lot of things enough to consider why gambling must exist. Maybe we just correct our views that gambling is bad because this also helps other people. We don't just focus on the bad things like addiction and debts that a person may commit by being an irresponsible gambler but also, must see the benefits it gives to the community and in our personal lives.
Those points you outlined are the benefits of gambling when done in moderation, but when it becomes an addiction it no longer has any benefits but rather it becomes a disease, and I don't agree point number two: when we are talking about income generation here I believe you are talking about the bookmakers because it can't be a source of income to the gambler, and about the socialization aspect, not every gambler can relate to that because some actually gamble online without interacting with people
Number 2 to 3 is for employee and the owner of casino but for gamblers, they will get benefits of gambling if they can treats gambling as an entertainment and a way to have fun. The number 1 can be for gamblers who seek a friend in the gambling table but they must control themselves not to becomes addicted to gambling. Number 4 is for the promotion that we often see in many places including in the internet.

Gamblers can gets the benefit of gambling when they can playing gambling moderately and always manage how much money they can use to playing gambling. If they lose control in gambling, that can makes them lose their money and that can gives more problem for them if they becomes addicted to gambling. Gamblers must be careful to use gambling and not use gambling too often because that can makes them lose more money.

If this is it, this is a friendly signal but I won't take them seriously as they're are being shared through a friendly matter. I've got friends too that shares their picks but I won't call it as a signal and whoever wants to copy their bets, everyone from the circle is free to do that. And to be honest, I prefer this. No strings attached, copy or not, no obligation for any VIP and you can even blame your friend if the copied bet lost.  Grin
I prefer to gets the signal from my friends because I know them for sure and I know how good their skills. I know they can't always accurate prediction but I don't mind with that as we just use gambling to have fun together. They will always reminds us when they share their prediction to be careful because they don't wants to see us lose a big money. They will tells that their prediction can't always 100% work so we must stay away from the big lose.

Besides that, my friends is share what they know and not force us to place the bet. They gives the decision to ourselves but they always reminds to be careful when placing the bet. That will prevents us to stay away from paying the subscription so we can use the prediction without any difficulty. If we wins, we will celebrate it together and that is the best moment for us.
686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I quit playing slots? on: July 27, 2024, 05:33:10 AM
It will only happen to people who already have self-awareness at the beginning and gamble only as entertainment and use the money they can afford to lose.

Slot games make anyone addicted because they see how spins are done and at the beginning are given a win.
I also like to play slots, but only for entertainment with a little money, even very little.

All I'm looking for is the entertainment of winning, getting scatters etc.,
not chasing big wins, which will eventually backfire and make someone even more addicted.
If someone feels that he doesn't have a good experience in gambling, he should thinks to quit gambling, no matter what is the gambling games. Playing gambling games especially slot game needs much money but if we can limits the money, we can prevents the big lose that can happens. If they can be wise when playing gambling, they will know that gambling is just an entertainment so they will not have too seriously playing gambling instead just have fun for some time.

Playing slot game can makes someone forgets about time and money because slot game can tempting them to keeps playing gambling until their money is gone. I playing slots games but I always allocate some money to have fun and will stops playing slot games is I thinks it is enough. Getting scatters will be our goals but we must realizes that will not easy to get it so we must still limits our money to playing slot games.
687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: July 27, 2024, 04:43:13 AM
A new skill is challenging to learn, and it takes plenty of time. Losing to gambling is a learning experience. So, it's wrong to pay no attention to our gambling results. This negligence means that we need to learn. Patience is an impactful factor in learning and, when applied, yields reward. Players either need to be more result-oriented or want to learn new strategies. That's why more players turn into prime candidates for problem gambling. Without a doubt, many gamblers don't understand what is happening in their life.

Hence, thinking they'll bother following up on gambling strategies is unnecessary. Utilizing a gambling strategy doesn't matter to carefree players. They barely know of its existence. If a player is not able to stay calm and study gambling methods, he'll not be careful with losing his games. It's fair to notice that consistency cements new knowledge in our brains.
I admitted that it is challenging to learn but that will worth to do although that takes much time before we posses. That is the only chance for us to stay away from the problem of gambling including the problem of gambling addiction. Many people lose their control when playing gambling and makes them becomes addicted to gambling so we must stay away from that and only use gambling for fun.

New gambler must know about that and learn for seriously so they will have ability to stay away from gambling addiction. Having patience is necessary so they will not playing gambling excessively to chase the wins. If those gamblers can calm down themselves in gambling and just trying to have fun from gambling, they will understand that they don't have to spends much money.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the differences between this 2 gamblers? on: July 27, 2024, 03:44:21 AM
It is quite a sporting theme that gambling should be played with a friend and that it should be your common theme. 

On the one hand, you can easily control each other’s fortune, but on the other hand, there is a negative factor: for example, if you win a large amount, then most likely your friend will begin to devote more time to gambling, because he will want to be lucky as well. 
But in any case, it seems to me that gambling alone is bad.
That's the bad things that people will do when they see their friends winning the games. They will curious and still playing gambling because they wants to feel the winning. They don't realizes that winning in the gambling games needs luck so if they are not lucky, they will difficult to win and will only lose their money. That is a jealousy that people experience and not thinks that will be their friend's luck that helps their friend wins.

Playing gambling is not bad if they can treating gambling well but they must see that many risks behind of gambling so they needs to know how to manage the risks. Playing gambling is a choice so they don't have to follow their friends to playing gambling instead just watch their friends playing gambling. That will prevents them to lose money from gambling while they can use their time to relax with softdrinks and foods in that place while watching their friends playing gambling.
689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Signals for Casino games a real thing? on: July 26, 2024, 04:26:52 PM
That will depends on the group because if you are on one group but you don't know each people on that, that info may be not real and only wants to search for their target to scam their members on that group. But if you know that group and you already meet each other, that signal could be real because you are in a group that really know who they are. Sometimes our friends will share their analysis to other people in that group but they don't claim that their prediction is 100% works and tells to all people to analyze more.

I joined in one group of prediction with my friends but I can't rely on them because they just do that for fills their spare time and not because for money. They do that for fun so they will analyze the match and sharing it with us and many times we gather in one place to discuss it before we place the bet.
690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: July 26, 2024, 03:30:17 PM
Only gamble with sports bets many days before the game, you will be more in judgement then just emotionally gambling the odds.   The closer it gets to the actual game being live while betting the more involved and emotional the bets will become.

You dont have to do all extremes in your bets, what you could use instead is to taper your bets.   Reduce the amount you can bet on a game by 20% every day, start at 100% but by the time you add or alter your bets later on only be betting 20% of what you did originally when less emotionally driven by the game.   Unfortunately all solutions probably will involve some self control or at least good planning to your budget used.
That's good that they (these solutions) will be involved, as these are keys to having a good time while gambling! You gave some good advice and a way to improve the discipline of a player, thus ensuring his well-being if your tips are taken into action.
Hopefully, we will always remember that so we don't have to experience a big lose when playing gambling. Although that may difficult for some of us but it is worth to keep trying because that can helps us to reduces our losses in gambling. We must understand that when we becomes emotional, we will gets too deeper in gambling and there will be no way out from gambling except losing all what we have.

Reducing the amount of money to playing gambling is necessary to prevents the lose becomes big and we can avoids the biggest problem in gambling which is addicted to gambling. Many people lose their control in gambling because they becomes too emotional and thinks that they can gets what they wants. If they realizes that, they will not lose much money instead just lose the money they can afford to lose.
691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I quit playing slots? on: July 26, 2024, 02:38:07 PM
You shouldn't have made a second deposit after experiencing that loss the first time. Personally, I'm not a fan of slots. I'm not saying the outcome would have been different, but you should have tried other games the second time, like Limbo, Crash, or Dice. For me, at least, these games are better compared to slots, where the outcome entirely depends on the computer. Also, you can make more wagers with the same amount in these games. However, at the end of the day, the result may be the same.
Curiosity will be something that makes him deposit for more. He should have known that he would not be able to win easily in the slot games but he decided to deposit more and keeps playing the same slot game. But he lost his money without have a big chance to recover his lost money. Choosing the other gambling game will be okay but as long as the gambling games is based on the luck, he will still difficult to wins the money.

He can lose again and again and if he still insist to keeps playing gambling, his lose will be bigger and it is hard to accept it. But if he can accept anything happens after playing the gambling games, that will be okay for him because he will not regret the lost money because that is the money he can afford to lose.
692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investment in gambling on: July 26, 2024, 01:40:49 PM
I don't think gambling is bad for people who have lots of money. Because even if they lose money in gambling, they can profit from some other place. They have that capability and competence. Even these people are rarely addicted to gambling. They don't even aim to make a lot of money from gambling. So I don't think gambling is harmful for the rich unless they go beyond the limits.
Gambling is not bad for anyone, it is how you go about the gambling that can harm an individual. It is like the case of drugs which is meant to make the body better but how one uses it can turn out to be abuse. If you go about gambling the right way, irrespective of your level of finances, it will not harm you but if you adopt the wrong approach, even though you are rich, it will damage your finances. Those who have lots of money will gamble with lots of money and also lose lots of money. But when the right discipline is applied, then the amount to use for gambling can then be controlled.
Yes, gambling is not bad for anyone but it is how they look gambling as a place to make money. That is wrong thinks because gambling will not lets you make money easily. Even if they use an investment side that available on the casino, that doesn't mean you can make money from gambling. But gambling itself is not investment because we use money to wins some money while investment is we use the money to be hold for a while and we can gets some return for some term.

But if they use an investment without thinks or search for more information, that will be gambling and they can lose all of their money without getting a return. You don't invest your money in gambling but you use it with the hope to make money and that will not be a bad idea if you can't control yourself when playing gambling.
693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you understand entertainment? on: July 26, 2024, 12:10:33 PM
The middle class people think of getting rich in a short period of time by gambling. But those who gamble with the thought of getting rich never get the pleasure of gambling. Those who take gambling as a pastime never worry about losing in gambling.Gambling with the thought of earning money by playing, they face many problems and get worried when they lose gambling.
Not just middle class people will think like that because poor people will also think like that because those people see some people can wins much money from gambling. They thinks that when they playing gambling, they can have lucky day and wins the money but that fact is not like that. Gambling is just entertainment that can gives us pleasure but also gives a regret and depression because we lose our money in gambling.

Those people must realizes that gambling is not a way to make money and they don't have to use gambling as a hobby. They can only use gambling to fills their spare time to enjoy the games without thinks about makes money. If they thinks that they can make money from gambling, it is better they don't have to playing gambling because they will regret it to see their money will be gone.
694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: July 26, 2024, 11:07:35 AM
Learning requires patience and persistence. Gamblers easily forget what they're been told or taught, due to a lack of persistence. In a sense, the tactical gambling information embedded in us vanishes while we gamble. The new players, also, quickly turn their backs on the instructions of experienced players. Why does this happen? Lack of listening skills. It appears to me that the losses incurred during gambling punishes players in multiple ways.

One famous punishment is the weakness that players portray in the form of strength. The intense energy to win shown while losing, is a strong punishment placed on gamblers. Although, hardly, nobody pays attention to this scheme, whose fault it is, or its causes. These few changes demand patience to be mastered. And, this understanding isn't simple to attain, only players who hold on to details can invest time to learn. The misconception is on the part that players invest time to learn patterns that'll skyrocket their winnings.
If they can learn continously, they will not forget what they learn because besides of learning, they also practices their lesson so they know how to use it with right. The more they learn and practices, the more they will have a chance to have a power control and have patience while they are playing gambling. They will not lack of what they learn because they always use the things that they learned before so that will helps them to improve their ability to stay away from gambling addiction.

But when they lose their patience in gambling, that will makes them to lose their money and that means they needs to learn more harder to manage their patience and other things. Those who can understand the lesson will have a chance to use it in gambling and they will not have to worry if they will make a mistake because they know they are just human that can make a mistake. They know that they must learn more and more to have ability to control themselves and avoids the addicted to gambling.
695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Peoples expectations about casinos free spins on: July 26, 2024, 09:32:09 AM
Be it free spins or real stakes everything is just about lucky just like in sports betting we have bonuses to play games, a lot of people have won huge amounts of money from these, I haven't really won a lot from casino free spins though and I don't really expect anything from it.. gambling can be very disappointing when you start having high expectations , I don't think you can win a very significant amount of money from a free spin, everything the house gives out is calculated.
Nothing is free in this world that simple and 100% true, free spins offered from bonus packs may give us winning but at what cost instead of rolling 2 times you may roll 10 times and with 2 free spins which means you're tempted to spend more which obviously favours the house means more profits for them. If anyone tries to beat the house they often end up busting their balance so don't try to be oversmart where we don't control the outcomes.
Free spin offer a chance for gamblers to wins some money but that is not guarantee you can wins much. You don't have to spend your money to play because you gets a free spins from casino that you can use to play and wins some money. The wins will depends on your luck but it is rare to wins much money from free spins. Gamblers who can wins from free spin is not many and even if they wins, they must follow the rules that be requirement to gets that free spins.

Some casinos gives free spin in the first time member's deposit besides of the other bonuses. That's an attracting offers that casino gives to their new member or old members and if that casino is reputable, that offers will be taken by many members.  Their members will be love to gets that offers because they have a chance to wins although that will be back to their luck.
696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the differences between this 2 gamblers? on: July 26, 2024, 08:37:47 AM
Right.
In general, the topic of independence in gambling is very relevant. If someone does not know how to control themselves, then they are doomed in gambling. How many stories have we heard about betting when one friend was jealous of another friend’s winnings, and because of this he began to play and play. Moreover, if he had knowledge in sports, he thought that this is how he would apply it. And that was a mistake.
We must don’t envy others, we can’t think that we smarter than everyone else, we can’t succumb to advertising provocations. This is exactly what casino promoters are waiting for, because they know our psychology very well.
Sometimes I think that people actually know that if they can't control themselves, they will doomed in gambling. But that is not makes them see the reality and just still playing gambling without thinks about the risks behind that. They heard many bad stories around them but that is not makes them to be wise and trying to use gambling for have fun but for other reason, they use gambling to make money.

They don't have to jealous with their friend's winnings because that will related to their luck. If our friend wins because of their luck, we should congratulate to him but we don't have to try to chase the wins because that will be difficult for us. We really needs to be wise treating gambling so we don't have to gets a bad experiences such as losing too big money in gambling. We must remember that we can become addicted to gambling easily no matter what is the outcomes so we really needs to be careful when playing gambling.
697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think casinos can stop demanding KYC? on: July 26, 2024, 06:20:18 AM
KYC can be solution to prevents the money laundering and other illegal things and even for people under 18 years so those people can't playing gambling on that casino.
But is that the only thing they can do to prevent money laundering? I honestly doubt any business provider care about that, they do all of these check because the government demanded them to do so. How effective is KYC from preventing people launder their money? Why not block transactions above specific value to begin with if they don't want to risk their platform being used as a money laundering spot? Another issue is how unreliable business data protection with so many data leaks, not to mention false positive or terrible system that failed to detect individual as a non-dangrous player because one or two things like faulty image processor.
You can doubt that but casino see this is a way for them to know their customer who playing gambling on their casino. Casino will still difficult to prevent money laundering but with KYC, they will know the money flow so they can investigate it by asking for more to their customer. Maybe casino will require more document if they found a suspicious thing while they investigate their members so they must know what is the real things that happens.

If casino block transaction for specific value, that will not be a good ways because you know that many people use big money to playing gambling. If you check on some big casino, you will see many big transactions to place their bet but with KYC, casino can check that and if they see that is because money laundering, they will warn their members or even block the account. Casino can report what they found on their casino to the government and let the government investigate furthermore. Casino just follow the rules from the government and runs their business.
698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: July 26, 2024, 05:38:03 AM
We can't discount that situation as there are gamblers who wanted to show thier things in front of their children whatever the reason behind, they think that kids can adopt their strategy and in the future they will walk in the same path, but like what the reply above if the parents or the adults is conscious they will not do that as they knew that it can ruined the future of those young minds.

I see the point where kids nowadays have their own ways to delight themselves and if the focus reached to gambling then expect those kids to participate on their young age as they already have knowledge about how the game works.

And with that possible winning streak that they can experienced, it will push them to dig deeper and chances to become addicted is not by far.
They needs to be careful if they choose that way and it is better they prepare their kids and explain many things about what they do to their kids. They can't just show what they do or their gambling activity to their kids without any explanation because that can makes their kids curious and will find out by themselves.

Kids can find what they thinks could gives them fun so if they see that gambling can gives fun, they will try to playing gambling at least with their friends. If they don't have self control, they can drag deeper to gambling in their age without their parents know so that will gives a big risks to them. That's why parents must always guide and explain many things to them and not trying to show adult activity so they will not curious with what their parents do.
699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: July 26, 2024, 04:48:01 AM
Yes, that makes sense, the things we usually do can become hobbies, and vice versa it will become an addiction for them, for that reason gambling is not like a hobby, maybe it's like recreation, gambling is played when there is money or the mind is enthusiastic, can be played once a week ortwice, to overcome addiction.
A hobby can be done for more often because we really like to do that activity and that can makes us addicted to that activity. If that is gambling, we can become addicted to gambling easily and even we will not realizes that we already gambling addiction. That's why we must not playing gambling too often to avoids our minds thinks about gambling many times in our daily life because that can makes us to return to casino and playing gambling.

We must realizes that we have other activities that we can do so we can stay away from gambling addiction because we know that can gives us a big risks to be an addicted person to gambling. Many interesting activities that we can use to be our hobby so we can stay away from gambling and we can use our time with right. We can playing gambling occasionally in our spare time just to have fun and relaxing ourselves.
700  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lies told to cover up gambling habit on: July 26, 2024, 03:49:26 AM
In my opinion, it's better to tell the truth from the get-go. That way, nobody will be hurt and everybody will be happy knowing there are no hidden doors from one another.
Telling the truth is a good ways that we can do because we will not hurts other people especially our couple because we can honest to them without anything we hide. We don't have to make a bad situation by lie to them because that can attract us in a trouble that can makes our relationship will be bad. We must know that tells the truth can helps us to avoids misunderstanding with other people.

If you hide something from your wife or husband, they will know by themselves because they have a sense that we lie to them. Many people who married have this experience so no matter how good they hide a matter, their couple will know and that can makes a big problem to both of your.
