701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: March 17, 2024, 03:48:35 PM
Fear and Anxiety

This is one of the main reasons on why people would really be having that kind of different approach on things on the time that they would really be able to feel up these emotions on which
this could really be the main reason on why they would really be becoming that impulsive. Decisions made would be broken and your mind would be stirred up
which causing those kind of alterations neither with your selection and with your plans or whatsoever in between.

This is why on the time that you would be making some betting then decisions should be something be fixed and cant be altered.

You are right.
Gambling often becomes a habit because people can experience adrenaline and excitement from gambling. This can lead them to gamble more and more without controlling their spending and time. The way to combat this is by first recognizing the problem and admitting that you have a problem.
It is also important to seek help from specialists who can help develop control strategies and teach them how to manage their desires. Remember that gambling can negatively affect your life and relationships with loved ones, so it is important to combat this addiction.

Desire is one of the reasons that causes a person to become accustomed to doing certain things such as gambling, I don't know the purpose but certainly if we talk about gambling then in general the idea of earning is usually the main goal of gamblers. Gambling is an activity that can make us addicted which ultimately leads to addiction where someone will find it difficult to ignore the slightest time not to gamble, and for the matter of gamblers who cannot control their gambling activities such as in terms of time and finances then in my opinion it seems that they have a goal to earn because obviously the desire to make money is greater than the awareness to prioritize preventive measures.

On the other hand yes it is true that one way to overcome problems like this is to identify what the problem is, but unfortunately very few gamblers realize to do self-introspection, because usually they feel that they are not experiencing any problems in their gambling activities even though they are basically in a zone that endangers themselves because they have the wrong approach and mindset on gambling, and also this is the importance of telling your gambling involvement to one of your closest people such as a friend, because obviously I think they will be able to help advise you and also tell you that you are very excessive in gambling.
702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette on: March 17, 2024, 03:28:25 PM

A very desperate decision, he simply could be left without his savings, and there’s almost 50/50, not counting the probability of zero, but it’s too risky, because it’s just one bet and he could lose everything he’s earned in his entire life (unless of course it’s true). I doubt that there are many people who, in a healthy sense, are ready for such an act, just one bet could deprive him of everything, this is not a reasonable decision.
I totally agree. The risks in this game are just too high, and it is not worthwhile to lose everything on a single bet, no matter how much money is involved. This is an example of "loss aversion" - the inclination to avoid losses more strongly than to pursue profits. In this scenario, the possibility for loss outweighs the potential for gain, hence the risk is not worth taking. Before making a decision, it is critical to think rationally and thoroughly assess the prospective costs and rewards.

Honestly, what worries me is that I can't imagine what the situation will be like if in the end he loses, because obviously with this very dangerous decision of course I can conclude that his intention and goal is to get a big win so that he is willing to risk his entire life savings just for one round of luck that really can't know the final result, and I don't see that there is absolutely no intention of gambling for entertainment because obviously you can tell from how he treats his gambling activities that endanger himself just to get a big win which is actually always about uncertainty.

After all gambling is an activity that always involves risk while on the other hand winning is always unpredictable, and therefore obviously the first thing that should be prioritized is risk management, as you said that the possibility of losing is much greater than the chance of winning and it is real because overall winning is actually only for the house, therefore it is always recommended to apply a lot of caution and also vigilance along with always maintaining awareness and rational thinking so that we can be responsible gamblers and not rash in making decisions.
703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Simple mistake that makes you lose everything on: March 16, 2024, 08:46:19 PM
There are many mistakes that a gambler can make, the most common mistake that i have made is when i play football betting and so many of the games have gone in my favor and just a few games are left, but i have the chance to cashout and take some money out of the game, but i choose not to and lose everything. Sometimes not cashing out when you can is being greedy, it is better to take some money out if you can, than to come out with nothing.
Making mistakes in betting is part of what we should expect and that's why we ought to keep trying so that we could gamble in a way that we don't have to be making the same mistakes over and over again. Thee are some mistakes we would have made in the past that should serve as a lesson to us to keep betting and trying our luck to make money. If we keep making mistakes and we keep learning, it would serve as a big advantage to us in the future especially to those that have started making such a mistake without any remedy. It is good for us to gamble and try to win and losing should serve as a lesson to where we are not getting it right.

I would say that it's a mistake if it's basically a mistake that doesn't lead to actions to achieve victory, or what it means is that you will never know if what you are doing is right or wrong because all the answers will only be found when you have completed a gambling session with two possibilities between winning or losing, and if gambling can be learned then aren't there enough gamblers who have managed to succeed by getting a lot of money from winning? No, that's not the case, gambling is a gamble that refers to two possibilities at the end of the session between winning or losing and everything there can never be learned so you will never know if what you did was right or wrong.

For me the mistake in betting is when you are unable to control yourself such as when you are unable to resist greed when you win or when you lose but you cannot stop and rest and instead continue the game based on emotions and the intention to restore something that has been lost, and also on the other hand no matter where you play gambling is still gambling which will never know the results unless you have finished the game, And maybe I would advise you not to create analogies or assumptions that gambling can be learned, because what is worried is that there may be some people who try to continue to bet excessively and look for points of error which are actually not a mistake but this is gambling which everything cannot be learned if it refers to the purpose of earning.
704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: March 16, 2024, 08:25:25 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.

We can be playing bet sometimes and then we experience a seizure in the internet connectivity, such could last a minute or more and this will definitely affect the bet or game we are playing and such could in most cases cause us to lose the bet or in a rare conditions win the bet as well, but we can realized this that most of the live bets and virtual games needed all of these to be in place with a steady internet connectivity in other for us to enjoy playing bets and not to miss out on opportunity for winning.

I think for the problem of internet connectivity interruptions it is a common thing that happens and indeed this is an unexpected possibility or that means we never know that there will be internet interruptions when we make bets, and obviously this will interfere with the course of the gambling session that we do, one of the adverse effects is that it is likely that you can be late to make a bet or click the button at the wrong time due to network interruptions that occur suddenly - suddenly.

This unexpected event can obviously make us lose opportunities even though we basically don't know whether the results of the bet end up winning or not, but I'm sure most people will agree that events like this are very annoying when we are late to make decisions just because of internet interference. In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you'll want to make sure that you've got a stable internet network by checking before you play, nothing but for prevention, but for the problem of power outages I think this is an event that will not be tolerated, I've experienced it where when I bet suddenly there was a power outage that made the network in one area completely dead and it was annoying.
705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling by financial dependents. on: March 16, 2024, 05:52:26 PM
Gambling is supposed to be a fun activity. However when a person takes gambling as a source of income there is no doubt that addiction will definitely kick in it could only be a Matter of time. Logically everyone takes their source of income seriously this is because it is the source of their supply of funds they use to carry out different activities that require financial attention.. similarly, when a person makes gambling his primary source of income, he would Begin to spend more time gambling and spend more on his stakes just to increase his wins and winning chances. Overtime he gets addicted to gambling too frequently.
Gambling is for fun and fills our spare time without having an intention to chase the win. But many people trying to win and not thinks about how much money they will lose because their reason to playing gambling is change from searching for fun becomes making money purposes. If they used gambling as a source of income, that will be a mistake because gambling will not gives them a chance to make money instead just losing their money. When someone use gambling as their primary source, they will not make money as often as they wants because gambling is just a fun activity that can't be a way to make money. Yes, they can becomes addicted to gambling if they can't control themselves and when addicted is comes, they will not realizes and will playing gambling without stop.

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.
706  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 16, 2024, 05:32:19 PM
Gambling should always be viewed as a long-term plan rather than a quick way to get rich. Anyone who enters gambling with the expectation of winning big and fast is setting themselves up for disappointment. Responsible gambling, on the other hand, entails setting boundaries and managing expectations. It all comes down to developing and sticking to a strategy.
One problem that majority of gamblers encounter is the intentions for Gambling, this is what determines what gambling technique a person employs, so it's important to always remember that Gambling is nothing more but game meant for recreational purpose and not to maximize profit
What long term plan? gambling isn't something that need to be long term, short term, medium term etc. You're free to gamble when you want and how long you want, either short term or long term, the result will be same.

The most important point in gambling is only gamble what you can afford to lose, while the other thing you're free to choose whatever you want.

Yes that's right, there are basically no rules or regulations in gambling that lead to the necessity for a gambler to maintain his involvement in gambling, it is a game of probability that is shrouded in the chance of winning money but should not be prioritized and taken seriously because all wins are always random to determine who will win and who will be disappointed by losing. For me gambling is nothing more than a leisure activity when I'm feeling bored and don't know what to do, and it's also something I gamble on when I have some budget that's not being used for other needs, or a bottom line that I'm ready to lose.

The other thing is as I said above that winning is always random which means it's always unknown whether you'll win or lose at the end of the session because casinos only provide "odds" and not certainties, so with this it's certainly as suggested that it's better to treat gambling naturally, don't get your hopes up and limit all decisions to minimize all possible regrets.

If you are referring to the possibility of problems then yes hiding it will only make it difficult for us to seek help from others, but I think this is not a big problem because basically you can tell one of your closest people like a friend for example that you have a problem in gambling, it is not a problem to tell one person, and I am also like that, or I mean I hide but not to one of my closest friends. And obviously overall of course would advise anyone to better hide their gambling activities from the public eye except one of your friends, because I think it is a fact that gambling has a pretty bad point of view in the eyes of society due to the bad effects experienced by irresponsible addicts, so this can make people claim that you are someone who has a bad personality because you are involved in gambling if you publicize it to many people, and this can eliminate people's trust in you in any case.

On the other hand, we have to look at the context in which you need to hide something from people, because if it's for a good cause such as avoiding people claiming you're a bad person for being an irresponsible gambler then I think there's nothing wrong with that, and the other thing is that I understand that lying is bad behavior but hiding something doesn't necessarily mean you're lying.


Talking about our gambling activities or problems to those closest to us might be better. at least the people we meet every day. but some people will think about staying away from us because they don't want to be involved in the gambling problems that we experience. and it's better if we don't involve other people as much as possible.
If we have a gambling problem, it is important to share it and get support from those closest to us. it saves us from stress and pressure when it comes to addiction and financial issues. ask for advice from other people who know you.

Yes, it is allowed and not a problem if we only tell one friend who is very close to us who might be called a true friend, because after all we have a lot of time together with them that sometimes we exchange stories and give advice or solutions to each other and of course their presence will be able to really help us because we can tell the problems we are experiencing in gambling which indirectly it can make us a little relieved and as you said it can be useful to save us from stress due to the many pressures of gambling problems.

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.
708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: March 16, 2024, 04:35:52 PM

Every person has their own limits in terms of finances or finances in their lives and if we measure this with other people's abilities then it is usually always different, it could be that your financial situation is better than others or vice versa, and if on the contrary in the sense that your financial situation is not as good as other people or other gamblers then yes of course it is not recommended to follow their way of betting especially if you follow it along with putting the same amount, because it is likely that the amount they think is small but for you it is an amount that may be very meaningful.

But on the other hand if you only follow the method without following the amount of the bet then maybe it doesn't really matter as long as the key is that you must be able to take responsibility for your decision to follow other people's bets if in the end it turns out that the results are not what you expected. Actually, the whole key is back to whether you are able to take responsibility for your decision or not and it doesn't matter whether you gamble using your own method or following others.

Yes, it is true that everyone has the ability to risk their own money and this will also influence the good and bad of the circumstances in their life, therefore it is true what you say, it is better to bet according to the limits of our own abilities. because that's a better way than imitating others. This is different from betting which cannot be reached with our abilities because it could have bad consequences for us of course.

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.
709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Couple won the jackpot but split soon after! on: March 16, 2024, 04:15:32 PM
On the other hand I don't know who is right and wrong between the two people, but certainly yes they should not have made the decision to separate in the midst of what should have been a happy situation for both of them, and I am sure that it seems that one of these couples is too selfish and claims unilaterally about the money from his winnings so that maybe it becomes a problem that ultimately leads to separation.

The fact is that we can't measure the longevity of a relationship by how long they've been together, I think it's happened so often, that I've even heard of couples who've been dating for up to 10 years but they've had to end up splitting up instead of coming together to reach a marriage decision, Of course anything can happen along the way especially some unforeseen problems that can eventually lead to a breakup in a relationship, and from this incident I agree with you that this is actually a pretty good situation for both of them by deciding to separate because they already know about each other's true nature before finally entering into a more serious level such as marriage.
We can't do anything with that, even if you say that they shouldn't made a decision to split up and save their relationship, no can do.

They've already decided and there's no one that can stop them when everyone has finally decided and that's how it goes for the journey of being together.

Yes, basically it is true that we cannot do anything about these situations and conditions because indeed everyone has a different mindset and maybe the couple has something without us knowing that ultimately makes them have to end the relationship in the midst of happiness after successfully hitting the big jackpot, on the other hand I do not suggest or force them about what they should do but maybe this is a situation and condition that is quite unfortunate.

So maybe the rest of us can only take lessons from this incident that indeed unexpected things have the potential and possibility of anything to happen as experienced by this couple who suddenly had to choose to break up their relationship, but yes after all everyone has their own choices and maybe they chose this decision because it was the best for them to choose in addition to the real problems that we don't know.
710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: March 16, 2024, 03:00:07 PM
That's right, as you said that if gamblers know how to react when something happens to them in gambling then obviously they shouldn't experience a significant amount of losses, but the reality is not like that which is the opposite that most gamblers experience an increase in the number of losses and that means they have the wrong reaction in response to losing in gambling which ultimately leads to a larger number of losses.

Having excessive confidence in gambling can certainly make a person do more crazy actions, I am sure that they are actually unable to take responsibility for their actions when the final result does not match their expectations which means that having high confidence in winning will only make you end up with regret and disappointment along with a worse situation which means that your number of losses is even greater. On the other hand, this is a typical gambler who comes with the intention and purpose to earn so they bring high confidence because they are based on the hope of winning, while responsible gamblers are those who prioritize or prioritize risk management so as you said that all they think about is stopping as soon as possible without thinking about the recovery phase.
They will prevent the losses not to become bigger as they knows that will impact to their money amount. They can response as it should be if they lose on the gambling games and never trying to recover their losses. They will knows what they must do and what to react when something happens to them while they playing gambling games. They will have a chance to hold themselves for not makes their emotional becomes higher when they losses.

Excessive confidence in gambling is just makes them forget about how to stop playing gambling because they will be sure that they still have a chance to win. But that doesn't seems like as they expect because when they lose, they will difficult to win and that can increase their losses. If that happens, many gamblers can't take responsibility for their actions because they are not thinks that can happens to them. But after seeing what happens to them, they realizes that they are now in a trouble and difficult to solve if they don't have a strong intentions to solve the problems. They will regrets of what happens to them but some gamblers will not feel too regrets as they can repeat the mistake in the other days. That's why we must be responsible gamblers to prevents many problems that can occurs to us while we playing gambling because that can gives worst situations that we never imagine.

Yes, it can be done for those who "know and realize" about the possible risks in gambling that can never be completely avoided, and you cannot instantly conclude that they "will not do" some things that are prohibited because not all of them know about what they can and cannot do in gambling, especially when they are in certain situations, because for someone who does not have the right and proper understanding, it is clear that they will have a different reaction, especially when they are in a losing situation where emotions will dominate and chasing defeat becomes one of their ninja ways to pursue a recovery phase that is actually impossible to realize.

Yes, what you described above are bad habits and behaviors that someone who is addicted to gambling has, starting from having high self-confidence, putting hope in winning and all of that leads to the act of treating gambling excessively which in the end will clearly cause many new problems that are difficult to solve and maybe they will only feel regret if they really realize that what they have done so far is wrong in treating gambling, but sometimes there are also those who do not realize at all and instead continue to act more aggressively.
711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is best for a player to draw the line? on: March 16, 2024, 02:39:24 PM
1-when you lose?
2- when you win?
who really gonna stop going when he or she is getting a win. You see that's the hard part, you don't see people leaving under any  winning circumstance, the best time to see a gambler realize is time to leave is when the losing's start coming in on each bet. I'll like to say the reasonable time to draw the line (stead of calling it the best time)  is when you are just about to get beyond your bankroll. At that point never had himk of chasing the losses it's a waste of time as more losses would follow doing that.
That's true and with all my gambling time, I don't think I have ever ended a session when the winnings are coming. The urge to stop always come when the losses starts coming and that's why it's always important to take note of when you are losing and when you are winning because some gamblers do forget themselves and start chasing their loses forgetting that they can get all dried in trying to win back the funds that they have already lost.

Yes it is because you are carried away by an atmosphere of excitement based on hope that in the end you think of continuing the game and instead of cashing out but you instead apply the act of greed by putting all the winning money in large amounts to return to gambling, I think most gamblers experience the same scenario where they find it difficult to ignore the very exciting situation to make a decision to cash out, because most likely what is in mind is "this is my lucky time and I must take advantage of it", when it is a fact that the possibility of defeat will still continue to lurk you.

In gambling all results at the end of the session usually tend to be more often different, or in the sense that it does not mean that you now win and then in the next session you will be able to win again, luck can not always be predicted when it comes and when it goes so you will not know if the luck is still there or has already left, which means applying greed will usually lead to greater disappointment because you basically lose the money you have previously won. This is why we as gamblers should always avoid greed, not that you won't be able to win big but the problem is that it is very difficult to accept the fact that you lost all the money that you had previously won and this situation triggers a lot of out of control actions due to dominating emotions that eventually most of them act to chase the winnings to restore something that has been lost which is actually unknown whether they will succeed or even worse, so anyway prevention is better than cure.
712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette on: March 16, 2024, 01:57:54 PM
I would say this is a typical example of a crazy gambler and that's why he didn't think twice before staking that kind of funds in gambling. The only reason I would feel this man gamble this without hesitation is maybe because he has done it before or he use to do it on a steady because any average gambler will definitely think twice before gambling or taking this kind of risk. I personally feel that any risk which can render you wrecked is definitely not a risk worth taking.

Regarding whether the video in the object of discussion is right or wrong, in the end this is an incident that we can learn from and the other thing is that yes, of course, however this is a very careless decision made by a gambler, like you that he did not think twice or did not consider at all before until finally his decision became unanimous to keep betting with all the money saved for his living expenses. On the other hand, your prediction might be right about maybe he has done such actions before, but in my opinion, even if he has but maybe only once or twice he did it before which also managed to get a win so now the man is doing it again.

Because after all the results at the end of the session will not always be what you want, especially this is a type of gambling that is pure luck which means it is not easy to always be in such a lucky situation, so I can't say or predict that he "often" did this kind of rash action before, And I think it's quite simple that we can already conclude that the man is one of those gamblers who has been addicted to the point that he has no qualms at all about doing rash actions that could endanger his life in the long run, but fortunately luck was on his side so he was able to win in the end, and I hope he doesn't do something like this for the umpteenth time, because obviously this could ruin his life.
713  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 15, 2024, 08:24:00 PM
It is best you gamble when necessary not because you want to chase your loss and win back you money, many are victim of this circumstances and for me is a bad practice and this might make you not to employe your gambling skills and roles because you inhast in your decision making. What is your opinion on this?
A person who gambles after losing and will continue to gamble hard to recover his loss is called a gambling addict. Because those who use gambling only for fun will never care about their losses and will not run to recover their losses. there are many who use gambling for income and when they lose they panic to recover as well as profit and continue gambling. and many people suffer from it

Yes, that is the way or approach that someone who has entered the phase of gambling addiction has, they are always chasing something that is actually beyond their ability, and the ridiculous thing is that they are chasing victory without bringing any success formula to be able to achieve it so that the situation continues to get worse, and yes of course that is gambling which has absolutely no certainty and there is no way for anyone to be able to actually produce a victory because all final results always run randomly which means that all wins always occur by "chance".

Of course, not all gamblers have the intention and purpose to earn because there are also some of them who have a pretty good responsibility, namely those who gamble with the aim of having fun when they have boring leisure time, And that means there are two types of gamblers where there are those who come to earn and there are also for nothing more than just looking for entertainment and obviously they have different approaches or different ways of gambling along with having different reactions and responses when facing losing situations where gamblers who come for just entertainment they will not be too emotional if in the end they lose because their goal is not to earn but entertainment and that means they consider that the money they have spent is money to pay for the fun they have had. On the other hand, I don't think I have to explain in detail about the adverse effects of addiction because I'm sure most of the people here already know it. Grin

That is what I've been talking. Instead of hiding, show what you do, so in case there are troubles, people can help you. I dont understand those who hide their gambling habit. Are they shy? Are they afraid what society will think about them? Gambling has received bad reputation for nothing, compared to other addictions. When people lose in gambling, other think negatively about gambler, like he is a looser. When people win, others also thing negatively about gambling, because they envy. I have never hidden fact that I gamble. From early childhood I have learned, that whenever I try to hide something I do, to lie, to cheat, it always ends bad.

If you are referring to the possibility of problems then yes hiding it will only make it difficult for us to seek help from others, but I think this is not a big problem because basically you can tell one of your closest people like a friend for example that you have a problem in gambling, it is not a problem to tell one person, and I am also like that, or I mean I hide but not to one of my closest friends. And obviously overall of course would advise anyone to better hide their gambling activities from the public eye except one of your friends, because I think it is a fact that gambling has a pretty bad point of view in the eyes of society due to the bad effects experienced by irresponsible addicts, so this can make people claim that you are someone who has a bad personality because you are involved in gambling if you publicize it to many people, and this can eliminate people's trust in you in any case.

I will say that there is no need to casino to show the public what they have in their bankroll, because that is not what a gambler is after but to gamble and win big. Bankroll can be used to deceive gamblers, and this can be done by borrowing money from whoever, and showcase that money as theirs. Who will be able to know that the funds is not for the casino. I think that the casino reputation is better than the casino showing their bankroll.

One thing that makes me not to buy the idea of showing bankroll is that scammers can use this pattern to scam gamblers of their funds after a short time by not allowing winners to withdraw or even come up with different excuses to make sure that people continue gambling, whereas the casino is planning to go on exit, and nobody will sense it is same because you are seeing their bankroll. It is also risky as the casino will be vulnerable to attack

Maybe the purpose of publishing casino money to the public is so that people believe that it is a casino that has a good financial level so that gamblers do not hesitate or do not feel worried if they manage to get a big win, because usually there are always casinos that in the end are unable to pay some gamblers who manage to get a big win that makes them feel cheated, on the other hand I quite agree with this idea even though basically publishing casino finances cannot fully give confidence to gamblers that they will really be paid when they get a big win.

On the other hand yes I quite agree with your assumption here that the idea of publishing casino finances can also be done by some casinos that actually have bad goals such as deceiving gamblers because they can show their finances which are actually not casino money but other parties' money whose purpose is only to lure and attract the trust of gamblers. Another thing is that if casinos really want to increase the trust and reputation of the company then in my opinion they should improve services to all their customers such as quickly solving problems and also always paying when a gambler manages to get a win, because obviously something that is only seen is different from something that has been felt, such as publishing casino finances is different from improving services for customers, because everyone prefers certainty.

Honestly and I think most people especially those here would agree with my idea and opinion that gambling has absolutely no element of consistency in terms of winning because everything will only happen by "chance", and that means how can you see that there is success in gambling activities that are always about uncertainty? I understand that success has different meanings and depends on how the context is, but when it comes to gambling then I think there are only two contexts of success between you being successful by getting a lot of winnings or you are successful in terms of managing your gambling activities well which means that it leads to a lot of precautions to keep you safe in the long run.

But I think everyone would think that success in gambling is when they can make a lot of money or those who can get rich instantly, and as I said above that is not possible because gambling has no element of consistency in terms of earning, everything always happens by "chance" and nothing more than that. And the other worrying side is that as you said that it is not uncommon for people who come to fix financial problems in their lives or who have no source of income and use gambling as a place to earn, however that is the wrong mindset, and I will say that whatever you do as a way to get more winnings in fact it will only make you end up in a worse situation.
Gambling is a bad investment. Its luck, not skill, and luck isnt a strategy. You got it - gambling success? Its like a casino winning streak - elusive.

Wealth and habit management were your two success categories. Similar to discovering a unicorn, rare. The actual winners? The home. Always. The idea that gaming can provide regular income is false. Losing game. I know real estate, so invest. Gambling to cure finances is like putting out a fire with gasoline—it gets worse. Smart decisions, not random fantasies, are needed.

Yes overall gambling is an activity that always refers to your luck, no matter how skillful you are in terms of how to get a win but still it will all fail if in the end luck does not come at the right time, This is why it is always recommended not to bring seriousness to gambling activities because in fact you will only spin in a cycle of winning and losing which means you will chase victory to restore something that has been lost and this has no limit, or meaning that the real victory is when you are able to stop and let go of everything that has been lost in gambling because obviously however chasing victory to restore something that has been lost will in fact only make the situation worse.

I honestly don't understand the mindset of people who think that gambling is a quick way to get rich, most likely they only see gambling from one side only, namely getting money instantly but not thinking about the bad side that exists in gambling such as the possibility of risks that cannot actually be tolerated, The logic is as you said that this is a game which means a game, but I admit that there are some games that can give you income but there is no consistent element in terms of earning it like some worldwide games played by some influencers or stremers, but this is different, because gambling is a game that risks your money to win and lose and not like other general games. Yes I agree with you that solving financial problems with gambling is like putting out a fire with gasoline, so think about it before it's too late and you regret it.

Do you think that the benefits in gambling Worth the invest of your money and your time with knowing that your chances are Just 50/50?


Gambling is for fun and you do it at your leisure so a reasonable person can't spend so much time on gambling and discard other activities or means that earns them a living so whether you win or lose it shouldn't be a prerequisite that you will invest all your time and money all the time, you can be playing gambling and still involve your self in other means of livelihood so that you don't get emotionally attached to it.

True, gambling is for fun is the right mindset that will be able to keep you safe and comfortable in the long run, on the other hand I'm not saying that you won't lose in a gambling session because obviously gambling is an activity that always involves the possibility of risk, But one of the reasons why gambling is more recommended to be treated as entertainment is because when you address and treat gambling as entertainment then you will not be too excessive in treating gambling activities, and as you said here that they will only gamble when they have free time along with having some money that they can afford to lose.

However this is a healthy approach that is recommended because with this, you will not lose balance in terms of dividing the focus on each activity that you have in life, because a healthy approach is when you are able to make everything work in balance but overall of course it is better to focus on other more important things in life such as prioritizing yourself to focus more on your main job that has a guarantee to produce, and just make gambling only a paid activity that can relieve your boredom when in your spare time.

On the other hand, I think what I said earlier is a fact in gambling where gambling is an activity that cannot be learned because everything goes randomly to determine who the winner is, so with this it is clearly better for us to gamble in our own way because maybe our way is more effective than the way that others have, especially if good luck comes at the same time.

If I have a lower financial limit than my friends then I try not to follow their path in betting large amounts of money. because in my opinion it is better to play to the best of our abilities, if we follow other people's ways by force then later we will feel regret for the consequences of what we have done.
Yes, the results of gambling can be random and we as gamblers must be able to understand this so that one day when we lose we are ready to accept it sincerely.

Every person has their own limits in terms of finances or finances in their lives and if we measure this with other people's abilities then it is usually always different, it could be that your financial situation is better than others or vice versa, and if on the contrary in the sense that your financial situation is not as good as other people or other gamblers then yes of course it is not recommended to follow their way of betting especially if you follow it along with putting the same amount, because it is likely that the amount they think is small but for you it is an amount that may be very meaningful.

But on the other hand if you only follow the method without following the amount of the bet then maybe it doesn't really matter as long as the key is that you must be able to take responsibility for your decision to follow other people's bets if in the end it turns out that the results are not what you expected. Actually, the whole key is back to whether you are able to take responsibility for your decision or not and it doesn't matter whether you gamble using your own method or following others.

Yes the main point is as you said above that "money talks here", although basically the relationship has to end but it doesn't matter if both partners agree and agree to the separation, and they will be in a fair situation if before separating they share the money from the big jackpot winnings to be divided (50-50), but if not then obviously the one who doesn't get the money is the one who loses more. Basically, not everything can be solved with money but it is a fact that everything in life is usually easier if we have money, in any case.

I think this is a situation that can be made into a lesson when they can take lessons from this incident, as you said that with an incident like this then they can find out about the true nature of their partner, this is a good lesson before in the end they regret it when they have already established a relationship in a more serious direction such as a family. But on the other hand I still question about what the real motive is that makes the two of them separate, because supposedly getting a big jackpot is a happy situation for both of them, they can enjoy the money together with anything or even get married using the money, but if in the end separation is the choice then maybe I would say that one of them is too selfish.
Yeah, they will be in fair situation but whoever loves the other is the loser here. Because he or she wasn't expecting a split up after the jackpot has been won.

I've seen a lot of relationships fallen apart with various reasons even they've been together for so long. You can't really tell what can happen and it might be finances issues or just you're not clicking together even if you try to do it with various agreements.

They can be married together but they have to cut their ties as early as that moment of breaking up when someone already shown the true them.

On the other hand I don't know who is right and wrong between the two people, but certainly yes they should not have made the decision to separate in the midst of what should have been a happy situation for both of them, and I am sure that it seems that one of these couples is too selfish and claims unilaterally about the money from his winnings so that maybe it becomes a problem that ultimately leads to separation.

The fact is that we can't measure the longevity of a relationship by how long they've been together, I think it's happened so often, that I've even heard of couples who've been dating for up to 10 years but they've had to end up splitting up instead of coming together to reach a marriage decision, Of course anything can happen along the way especially some unforeseen problems that can eventually lead to a breakup in a relationship, and from this incident I agree with you that this is actually a pretty good situation for both of them by deciding to separate because they already know about each other's true nature before finally entering into a more serious level such as marriage.

over confidence can lead to more loses, one can not know if what he's confidence for is not confident for him/her and when they try it they fail. Over confidence can make a gambler to overestimate his losing and to find winning. Over confidence might make you win and it can also make you lose. Over confidence will also makes you not to make good decisions  and without good decisions you might also make many mistakes.
If gambler know that they don't have to react anything to gambling, they will not lose too much money. They only need to react as a normal thing about the win and lose so their minds will not thinks about recovering their lose because that will not easy to gets. Over confidence can makes someone feel superiors than the others and he will not considering that he needs to stop gambling after he lose because his minds will keeps telling him to continue playing gambling. If someone can manages his emotions and when he already lose some money, he will try to stop playing gambling and will not trying to recover his loses. He knows that can cause him losing more money and that means, he will face bigger problems than he can imagine.

That's right, as you said that if gamblers know how to react when something happens to them in gambling then obviously they shouldn't experience a significant amount of losses, but the reality is not like that which is the opposite that most gamblers experience an increase in the number of losses and that means they have the wrong reaction in response to losing in gambling which ultimately leads to a larger number of losses.

Having excessive confidence in gambling can certainly make a person do more crazy actions, I am sure that they are actually unable to take responsibility for their actions when the final result does not match their expectations which means that having high confidence in winning will only make you end up with regret and disappointment along with a worse situation which means that your number of losses is even greater. On the other hand, this is a typical gambler who comes with the intention and purpose to earn so they bring high confidence because they are based on the hope of winning, while responsible gamblers are those who prioritize or prioritize risk management so as you said that all they think about is stopping as soon as possible without thinking about the recovery phase.
