761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler takes his own life after a loss. on: March 11, 2024, 02:55:00 AM
Life is precious than money so this is an important reminder that being an irresponsible gambler can even afford to kill yourself without even thinking twice. 2.5M Naira is $1,630 here in my country and that really is big amount of money being lost through gambling but that doesn't mean you are gonna kill yourself because you lose it. I don't know why he do that maybe that money comes from loan or hard earned money or what but yeah what has happened to him serves as a lesson to all gamblers to put limits and be responsible. May he rest in peace!
We live in an era where you can't do anything without money, this is what makes people gamble with their hard-earned money that they can't afford to lose so that they can earn more money with it to sustain their lives which isn't the right thing to do but they can't help it, they probably don't find any other source where they can make money, and they find gambling to be the easiest way to do that.

People who commit suicide due to gambling or losing money don't do it because of the money they've lost, but they do it because they know they have nothing left in their life after that, and now they have nothing to live for, though they should think of their families and relatives but they lose the ability to think at such times.

True, everything costs money, there is no free lunch and even when you want to pee you have to pay a certain amount of money, life is hard while work is getting harder and the name of necessity can never be tolerated, meaning money is something that can make you survive longer, and yes I agree with you that this is what makes someone desperate to make gambling a place to earn, and one of the causes may be the factor of circumstances that are experiencing money difficulties. Putting hope that gambling will be able to change their lives by getting a lot of winnings, but however this is a wrong idea and maybe stupid.

This is why anyone should not gamble when he is in trouble especially when experiencing financial problems in his life, because gambling is not an activity to solve problems, this is nothing more than a place of recreation for anyone who is bored. Ending your life is the worst situation as a result of gambling in my opinion, you sacrifice your own life for your mistake in thinking or understanding what gambling is really about, I am sure that the person is in a desperate situation with full of pressure which in the end makes a ridiculous decision by ending life.
762  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler on: March 11, 2024, 02:04:02 AM
Instinct is nothing more than a feeling that exists in humans, which means that there is always the possibility that your feelings are wrong, and I think it is a stupid idea if you say that by strengthening your instincts you will win, or victory depends on how strong your instincts are in a game, but yes we come back to the fact about gambling which is an activity that cannot be learned because anyone can never know 100% accurately that they will be able to win at the end of the session.

Everything is always about the unknown, and yes it means that it is true that we gamble using instinct especially when we gamble in the type of bet that is pure luck, but if you are involved in the type of gambling that is based on skill such as sports then yes it is like combining skill, instinct and also luck, But don't get too confident in yourself about a decision that comes out of what you feel because most likely it will only make you feel more disappointed when it turns out to lose, and also because not always our instincts go according to what we want, so my advice is not to prioritize and force gambling because there is always no certainty of actually winning at the end of the session, meaning make gambling nothing more than an activity to fill time when bored.
763  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A personal view on: March 11, 2024, 01:12:22 AM
I do not gamble with debt and that's what I will never do and the same goes for investing. Investing and gambling with the use of debt is a big no for me.

I might understand if people who own businesses and they're asking for loans for expansion and more inventories as that's needed for them to cope with demand.

But in gambling it's different, that's why I'll never do that. I'm more comfortable to gamble with my own money so even if I lose, I have no obligation to pay anyone.
No sane person will gamble with loan money,  because at the end of the day, you will lose the money and become indebted at the end so we have to agree that taking a loan to gamble with is not a welcome idea and such should be discouraged.

Gambling should be done with money that you don't need and should be able to put away for a long time or lose it totally without any feelings of disappointment or discomfort,  but if you take loans to gamble with,  you can forget the amount if you lose it to gambling since there will be a point where you will be asked to pay back such debt

Exactly, basically loans are provided only for someone or anyone who is experiencing financial problems in an urgent manner, or simply money loans are more prioritized to be used as an alternative to solve financial problems in life, such as when you are in a situation of need and quickly due to anything like maybe your family member who is experiencing illness or other scenarios, but if you don't have any financial problems and try to make loans as an alternative to finance gambling activities then obviously it is a very bad idea and not recommended and as you said that in the end they will only get into debt.

Yes of course, gambling with money that will not be used for other needs or is money left over from needs is always recommended if you want to get involved in gambling and that does not mean you do or justify all means just to gamble, after all this is an activity that has a high risk, there are already a lot of cases that can actually be used as examples and lessons that many people end up with a downturn when trying to make gambling a place to earn, and also the point is that it is a stupid act and mindset if you put seriousness or hope in a place that does not actually have any certainty.
764  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: March 11, 2024, 12:41:19 AM

I would not say that a gambler only gambles for entertainment, of course every gambler has an interest in earning money that we cannot ignore. But we can bring control there. Trying to make a small amount of money from gambling is not addictive. But some gamblers want to change their life by gambling, they want to move up from their positions quickly. Some gamblers are so greedy that they consider gambling as their main occupation to the exclusion of other activities. I have seen many who manage their gambling in their workplace as well. They consider money as a source of income. Of course gamblers should do anything within limits.

Every activity must come, voluntarily or involuntarily, to an end. If a gambler doesn't want to respect himself and stop his gambling session, lack of funds will, involuntarily, end it. Gamblers have different stages of stopping the game, some may continue with loan, and end up being in debt. While others may not be able to withstand the pressure of being in debt, they go ahead to try illicit means of earning money to finance their gambling lifestyle. These types of gamblers are not exhibiting, properly, a good gambling behavior. Numerous losses barely help the player to have a rethink, instead he keeps on trying till all is lost. Including his joy and natural lifestyle.

Yes it is true that every gambler has a different way of treating their gambling activities, some are in a situation that is recommended by treating gambling correctly and some are treating gambling in a way that actually endangers their own safety in the long run, And yes every gambler has different stages in stopping their gambling activities or at least stopping for a break, and I think it's clear that when they are on the wrong path in terms of treating gambling that can harm themselves then obviously there is no stopping or resting for them, simply put they will stop when they have lost all the money they have at that time.

And if at that time the interest still has not faded or even become more aggressive based on a sense of revenge to restore something that has been lost then yes "borrowing" is one way that they might make an alternative to finance gambling activities in the next session which allows them to be under pressure when they end up in debt. However, it is typical of loser gamblers that they do not have a correct understanding of what gambling is really about, or simply they always want and expect to win but are not ready and unable to accept the consequences of losing at the end of the session, even though it is clear that in gambling it is always about winning and losing, meaning that it is normal for the session to end with a loss and not always about winning.

True, it is a fact that not having a budget is not a big problem if someone has entered the addiction phase, because they have thousands of ways to get money to be able to finance their gambling activities, I see most of those who are already addicted to making "loans" as an alternative to financing their gambling activities when they don't have money, such as borrowing from friends, relatives or maybe some loan services, usually they make the decision to borrow it without being based on any consideration, or simply they borrow but don't think about how to repay it, and even worse is when they go to legalize it, They usually make the decision to borrow it without any consideration, or simply they borrow but don't think about how to repay it, and even worse is when they resort to all means to get money such as stealing, robbing or cheating others, all of which they do in order to be able to gamble.


In the end, such actions will only lead to many new problems such as getting into debt or having problems with friends or relatives who lend money because they have difficulty paying their debts. This is one of the bad effects when you have entered the addiction phase.
Literally while most in the end will up selling their properties or even their families properties and lost friends and families before they realise they are going the wrong way in gambling.

Yes for the initial stage it may be as you said that their first decision is to sell something or something valuable that they have, whatever it is, it can be property, vehicles or even mortgaging their own residence and when they have run out of all the valuable things they have to sell then it is clear as I said above that most likely the decision that is in mind at that time is "borrowing" by saying various things that they think can make other people believe so that they can get the loan.

However this is their stage or journey to enter the destruction of life in various aspects, financial problems are already a certain thing they experience and not only that, the destruction of family relationships such as divorce and also have problems with some friends as a result of borrowed money that is not paid back, all of these are possible impacts that they will experience which ultimately leads to a significant situation of regret, regret will always be there but they are too late and there is no other way but to accept the facts of the situation due to treating gambling in the wrong way.

On the other hand, in my opinion, violence will not have much effect on curing an addicted gambler, we must understand that gambling addiction lies in the human brain and mind where they like this activity based on strange beliefs such as always expecting victory to change their lives, which means that the solution that is quite effective in my opinion is to embrace them slowly along with always giving them the right advice and understanding of what gambling really is, and I believe this way they will be able to change slowly, and also in my opinion this way can slowly eliminate their interest in gambling.
Yes if only they can see gambling does not depend solely on Luck or thinking of getting back what they lost instead just do it for fun and try to depend on your own analysis on every prediction rather than others prediction in order to grow and become a better decision maker and gambler

While it is a fact that gambling is an activity for entertainment or fun when you have some boring free time, this activity should not be taken seriously and also you should be able to raise and maintain your consciousness when you are running a session, not least because gambling is an activity that can stimulate the nerves in the brain because there are so many things that look tempting which usually in some cases make gamblers lose consciousness and go down the wrong path. One of the reasons why gambling is more recommended for entertainment and should not be taken seriously is for the simple reason that you will never know about the outcome at the end of the session, everything is always about "probability" meaning you might win or lose, so putting your hopes on winning is foolish, because it will only make you end up with a lot of regrets.

On the other hand gambling is not an activity that can be learned, so in my opinion even if you improve your analysis and skills it can never guarantee you to always win at the end of the session but maybe it can slightly increase the chances, so doing and improving something to "improve" in the hope of getting more wins will not fully affect, but in the end gambling is a secretive activity and cannot be predicted 100% accurately.
766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does the game of luck in gambling really works? on: March 10, 2024, 11:57:30 PM
The game of luck that is involved in gambling, is it the one of individual grace which attracts goodwills? Or it is by the days the gamble decides to remember you and then gives you the chance (s) winning?
Maybe it's just by chance that someone experiences luck in the gambling arena, this often happens in slot games, I once saw some of my friends betting online in slot games, at a certain time he bet in just an hour and a half, he managed to win almost $10k at the casino.

Believe it or not, as far as I know, online casinos and every slot that is activated have an operator who controls it, they know the users who often bet on their games, for this reason, at certain times there is a loose time for bettors to be able to win while playing, thus, what happened to your friend was just luck where he played right at the time the operator relaxed the winning time.

I've always believed in the idea that most gambling is a lucky activity, or I mean when you win it means you are lucky and vice versa if at the end of the session you lose and lose some money then yes obviously it means there is absolutely no luck there, especially if we are talking about types of gambling such as slot games that you said, however it is a game of pure luck because we cannot apply any skills unlike in the type of sports betting, and yes as you said that the victory that your friend managed to achieve is nothing more than a lucky situation, it's a very large amount buddy.

Honestly I don't know enough about what goes on behind the scenes especially in games like slots, but yes I have a suspicion that there seems to be someone controlling it. I am also one of the gamblers who knows and gambles on this type of game, and what I know for the matter of winning is that usually I get a win when I have lost a number of losses in the previous few sessions which sometimes the amount of winnings can be greater than the amount of my previous losses that make me experience recovery and sometimes also the amount is much smaller than what I have lost. One thing, and I agree with your belief that winning happens when you are at the right time which is where the luck comes in regarding whether the operator relaxes the winnings or not.
767  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 10, 2024, 11:37:30 PM
Easy to say "dont chase your loss" but in fact most gamblers are trying to recover their losses once they started a new session after loss.
On the opposite side, gamblers are trying to get more win in a new session after they make win in the previous session.
It is hard to forget our previous loss especially for frequent gambler who gamble regularly, but maybe it is not that hard for gamblers who gamble recreationally like once a month or once in few months.
I would prefer to say "gamble responsibly" in every gambling session, as long as our gambling habit will not affect our real life, doing both recovering losses and chasing more wins are not big issue.

Yes, it means that most gamblers are not responsible for their decision to engage in gambling activities so they do not have the ability to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session which in turn makes them take actions that are actually not recommended at all such as "chasing losses". On the other hand it is a fact that chasing a recovery for something you have already lost in gambling will only make you experience more losses, it is obvious because the reason is that there is absolutely no certainty that you can win at the end of the session, while on the other hand this is a business for casinos whose goal is to benefit the house and obviously when they try to chase wins in the next few sessions then losses usually dominate.

What you said is true and I fully agree with the statement that they are typical gamblers who find it difficult to accept and forget defeat, in my opinion from this action alone we can actually conclude that their intention and purpose of gambling is to make money so that when defeat occurs they are unable to accept reality. Therefore, it is always recommended to make gambling as nothing more than a recreational activity or playground when you are bored, gambling responsibly is highly recommended because no matter what, gambling is still a high-risk activity because what is feared is when you get carried away and fall into the wrong path, the point is that it is an absurd act if you put seriousness along with hope in a place that does not actually have any certainty and guarantee.
768  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: March 09, 2024, 09:01:54 PM
actually those people who is addicted in gambling cannot control their gambling because they are fully addicted in gambling and in order for them to control it, it will take them out of time to understand the procedures that makes them to be addicted in gambling so what I want us to know is that to control gambling is when The Gambler does not have much fund to gamble any longer but the process whereby The Gambler have a funds in his situation I think that it will continue to gamble until problem from the family like the wife or the parents kick against gambling with violence that is when is mentality of being addicted in gambling will you reset
Not having funds to gamble doesn't stop a gambler from gambling once he/she is addicted or tending to the state of addiction because they can't really notice this changes themselves and even if they do, they may likely fail to control themselves since it has now become an addiction, While violence is not the key answer against gambling addiction or any kind of addiction though it may work but not for everyone, those who are victim of gambling addiction and now free from it majority of them came out not through violent means but rather support from those around them or families

True, it is a fact that not having a budget is not a big problem if someone has entered the addiction phase, because they have thousands of ways to get money to be able to finance their gambling activities, I see most of those who are already addicted to making "loans" as an alternative to financing their gambling activities when they don't have money, such as borrowing from friends, relatives or maybe some loan services, usually they make the decision to borrow it without being based on any consideration, or simply they borrow but don't think about how to repay it, and even worse is when they go to legalize it, They usually make the decision to borrow it without any consideration, or simply they borrow but don't think about how to repay it, and even worse is when they resort to all means to get money such as stealing, robbing or cheating others, all of which they do in order to be able to gamble.

769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does the game of luck in gambling really works? on: March 09, 2024, 08:40:25 PM

I don't really believe this dude because such grace has not even worked for me although some of my physical trader friends sometimes says they have more customers anytime I comes around their trading centres and they love having me around.

Does this really happen a reality or it is just some sorts of mental reasoning fellas?

I don't know who you are, but if what your friends and other people say is true that they managed to get success in whatever they are doing it seems quite interesting if I invite you to come to my house and accompany me to bet Cheesy, but on the other hand I honestly think it's hard to believe, or I mean I don't believe that basically winning in gambling depends on other people or the presence of other people at the same time.

I've never heard of this kind of winning scenario that actually brings good results, and it seems like it's nothing more than a joke about what your friend said, because honestly I've been in a situation like your position, where my friend managed to get a win when I accompanied him to gamble and he also said that like your friend said, But when in the next session I again accompanied my friend to gamble, it turned out that the result was losing and meant that the victory that my friend had won the previous time was nothing more than a lucky situation, and this is the reason why I said that what your friend said seemed like a joke. But on the other hand, if you are very curious about the truth, I think you should try gambling yourself and see the results, I think this is a pretty strange winning scenario but it makes me curious about the truth.
770  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 09, 2024, 08:20:20 PM
I do hear this alot in the gambling board that one shouldn't go after losses because he or she will end up even losing more than ever, it just like chasing your shadows you can never catch them.

There are lots of rules one should keep in mind while gambling and i in the first page of this thread Oshosondy has mentioned them all and others too have contributed the does and don't of gambling. inorder of one win and not be an addict it's wise to harken to this instructions.

Yes it is true that chasing losses in gambling is like you are chasing your own shadow or like you are chasing the wind, one of the reasons that chasing wins will only be a waste of money and time is because in gambling the percentage of wins is much smaller than losses, and in addition gambling is not a place to earn, and one more thing that gambling has absolutely no certainty and guarantee whatsoever in terms of results at the end of the session.

So it is obviously a ridiculous idea if you make gambling a place to earn or chase gambling losses to achieve recovery, not impossible but the fact is that it is too impossible to achieve, and obviously in the end you will only increase the amount of your losses. This is why it is always recommended for anyone to make gambling nothing more than a means of seeking entertainment, not least because it is too dangerous that no matter how rich you are you can still end up being a poor person when you are unable to treat gambling properly and advised, and this means that it is clearly you who must control this activity and not gambling that controls you.
771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: March 09, 2024, 07:58:14 PM
It actually depends on you , how much you lost and why you lost. As a responsible gambler you have to be able to manage your wins and losses properly to avoid certain things like addiction and over staking. Sometimes in. Gambling losses happen even when we don't expect or plan for it. Normally when as a gambler when we place bets our aim is always to win and not to lose however losses can happen as a result of certain mistakes like wrong analysis and miscalculations or sometimes as a result of bad luck probably.
When staking as a gambler you should make sure not to stake excess but rather what we can afford to lose because of situations where we eventually lost.
It is better for me us to lose bet and go home to eat good food thanking God of wisdom for another lose that could  not clear our bankroll. There are people who are too confidence of themselves that a small lose will bring big winning to them but we all have to be careful and not do something that would cause us problem because we need to think well before we go fully into gambling with the claims that we are going to win when we are not supposed to be certain about it.
Gambling need patience and when we don't have it, we could easily end up losing big without knowing that we have already lose all our funds to trying to impress our feelings that we can keep trying.

Yes that's the concept of gambling where you can double and you can also lose all the money you have in a short period of time. Gambling has absolutely no certainty whatsoever when it comes to winning anything because all overall winnings always depend on how lucky you are while running the session, meaning if you are lucky then you will be but if in the end you lose then that means you are unlucky, no matter how good the strategy you use still in the end it always depends on your luck.

Therefore it is better and more advisable to gamble by only using a small budget so that when you lose you will not be too disappointed with the defeat, and we must understand that gambling is not a place to make money, you will only win when you are really lucky as I said above and all wins in gambling always come by "chance", that means there is absolutely no element of consistency in terms of winning, and the point is if you do not want to experience losing money then obviously you are better off not gambling at all.
772  Economy / Economics / Re: Save money today so money would save you tomorrow. on: March 09, 2024, 06:05:02 PM
Saving money is very important for everyone's survival and future life. I am definitely saving something to manage my life well and be happy with my children wife and parents. If from now on I can save and if it is through bitcoin or ethereum that would be better I will definitely be saving in these two currencies. I hope that the way I am saving from now on, I will be able to live happily with my wife, children and parents in the future. I would like to say to every person that you should save something to make your future brighter, spend all the money you are spending unnecessarily or if you save it, you will definitely get a lot of support in your old age.

That's true, saving is important, some people think saving is a waste of time because it won't make you rich, I don't agree with that statement. It's true that saving can't make you rich, but of course as we live we will definitely experience urgent needs such as disasters that can come at any time, and to deal with these disasters of course we have to have money, and if we don't have savings it will be difficult to overcome them, possible steps What you will take is taking out a loan, which of course will have interest over time and of course that could be a problem because it will be a burden on your mind too.

However, not everyone has enough income to be able to set aside money for savings. there are some people who have a limited income with only enough to meet their daily needs, but of course it doesn't stop there, that's not the end of everything, of course we have to be able to think of ways to have more income, such as doing or looking for a side job, by Of course, we can make more than enough money and save. But to find or do a side job, of course you have to take into account several things such as energy and time. make sure there is enough time for work and rest, and whether or not we ourselves are able to do longer work.
773  Economy / Economics / Re: A course worth studying ? on: March 09, 2024, 05:40:21 PM
So, if you had the opportunity to advise people about courses to choose In University, what would it be and why?

It depends on the country you live in. It can also depend on what you want to do. If you want to work in an international field, if you do not have any job prospects in your country of residence related to your major and if your major allows you to do international business, you can continue. This choice is directly related to where your field of study is located.

There are people who spend years just to get a graduation certificate or study in a department that is not enough to find a job. It is very important to decide which fields of work you will find in the country you live in and which fields of work you want to work in. Many people drop out of school and switch to other departments. In order not to waste time, it will be more beneficial to analyze the conditions well and at the same time choose the profession you want to do and focus on it.

If you believe that you will be successful, you should not care too much about what others say about your department.

There are also some people who believe that higher education can make them successful, I myself am not too sure about that, the statement is that no matter how high the education we get, if we ourselves don't pursue it then there will be no results. Also, with those who have degrees, I often find that they tend to be arrogant about having that title. In my opinion, degrees and diplomas are only a sign that we have studied, not a guarantee that we can be successful. Success is based on ourselves, whether we have a strong determination to achieve success or not. Moreover nowadays, there are rich people who have so much money they can afford an educational degree. So in my opinion, being successful doesn't just depend on degrees and diplomas.

because in my opinion the reality is different, when we study and take a certain major, sometimes after graduating from school we get a job that is not at all related to the major we chose in education. What you say is true, the key is in ourselves, if we can understand the work we get and are also diligent in carrying it out then that is a good thing, and not everyone can do this.
774  Economy / Economics / Re: Surviving the economy with creative thinking. on: March 09, 2024, 05:20:48 PM
It has come to a point where humans can’t just seat and watch things happen for themselves. As humans leaving in this kind of economy where things are not getting easier, we have to employ the art of creative thinking skills. It is clearly seen that to survive in today’s world. You must be creative in your thinking. The world is a global village that is changing rapidly. Humans must be innovative in their ideas and should produce different techniques. Which can be implemented in order to develop commodities and create a competitive edge.this is to say creative thinking plays a prominent role in today’s world.
We are in an era where the world is experiencing very rapid development and change in all areas, including the economy. Many of the systems we used yesterday may no longer apply today. Likewise, the system we use today may no longer be relevant if used in the future. To continue to survive and be able to adapt, the ability to think creatively is very necessary and crucial in times like now.

Creativity can be obtained/developed by learning from the internet such as YouTube, social media and so on, whether starting from an early age or as an adult, it doesn't matter what is important is the intention to learn and being persistent. then you will be able to survive even though the world economy is increasingly developing and very competitive.

Of course we have to be able to adapt to current developments. with the development of technology we must be able to take advantage of it, especially with young people whose enthusiasm is still burning, they must be able to have their own creativity to create business opportunities or profits, with the current development of technology there are many things you can do to make money, but the problem is that not everyone has creativity, even many young people are stuck in their comfort zone which doesn't produce results, like in my neighborhood there are many young people who just stay up late every night playing online games and don't produce any results. and when I asked why you don't look for a job so you can make money, their answer surprised me, they answered "why work, the president is already there" I don't know what that means, but I'm sure they don't have the desire to have a job or are reluctant to take a step at it. better.

I agree with you, of course with today's technological developments, we can make money from social media, and many people have become successful by doing things that may be their ideas and creativity. If we talk about destiny, then my own destiny can be changed if we ourselves have a strong determination to be successful. It is a wrong idea to only survive on poverty because basing it on destiny.
775  Economy / Economics / Re: How can it be possible coping with one source of income on: March 09, 2024, 05:00:07 PM
It’s not advisable to have a single source of income. It may be possible to live and cope fine with a single source of income but with the rate of inflation, your single income would start to be looking small for and wouldn’t be enogh anymore to keep up with living expenses.
How much you earn would be a good determinant on your lifestyle and even if you earn a whole lot of money, it would start to tell on your pockets later on with the rate of inflation and inflation with the prices of goods and services skyrocketing, it’s advisable to have a second means where income incomes in.

but if the source of income is large and sufficient, even more than enough to meet needs and so on, then there is no problem. but it's not good either, if you really have a large income you have to be able to take advantage of it, such as saving to open another business so that you have other income apart from your main job. It's true what you said, maybe as time goes by everything will add up. Of course we have to be able to adapt to technological advances too, but don't forget that with increasing income, the possibility of lifestyle can also increase.

It's good that we can have more than just one income, if we are still able to do it then there's nothing wrong with that because that's a good thing too. Also, having other income ensures that when the main income is in trouble, there is still other income that can be relied on to help in terms of funding, but of course we also have to pay attention to ourselves, whether we can afford it or not by having more than one income. because of course having more than one income will probably take energy too.

Those who still have a low income and already have a family that must be looked after and maintained well, of course they must have additional income to achieve success in their lives. Because the final decision is that there must be additional income without having to compromise on other things because without additional income it will also be difficult for family members to make the wisest decisions possible. So if there are still people with low incomes and want to be successful like most other people, of course what they have to think about is efforts to increase their income, not anything else.

I agree with you, basically everyone wants more than enough income, because that's what will make them happy. with limited income maybe they can't buy carelessly, they need to consider everything carefully. but we should be able to consider everything carefully, because there are people who have large incomes but that income runs out quickly, in my opinion it's because they carelessly spend and don't record their expenses, so when they feel they have money then they can buy what they want without thinking, and of course that's not right.

Looking for additional income is a must if we have limited income, but not everyone can do it. To be able to produce additional work, I think we have to be able to manage our time and abilities, if you feel you can still do more work then there's no harm in doing it. but if you force it, I don't think so, because it will probably only torture yourself, therefore we have to be able to make good decisions by considering it well too.

Life is not always about money, but in fact humans continue to struggle hard and desperately to get some money to continue life or increase their wealth. And many people think that education is the key to achieving success, but again in reality life is not as easy as we imagine and think, education is not a guarantee of achieving success. And there are also many of them who are able to achieve success without having to undergo formal education, starting from elementary school to college. With his tenacity and several experiences he has had, he managed to achieve success even though the journey was quite long and required sacrifice.

Once I say it, education is not a guarantee for someone to achieve success, but by going to school, at least by going to school, we will know the efforts to achieve success. This all depends on a person applying the theory and knowledge that we have gained during school.

I think it's natural that many people are desperately looking for money, they work hard without looking at the time until some work until the evening because they need money to survive, because to be able to survive of course we have to be able to have a certain amount of money to meet our needs. needs include food, and desires such as buying property. Everyone wants financial freedom, because that is everyone's dream, I'm sure you want it too. Indeed, there are some people who think education is the key to success so they strive to continue studying until college and get a degree, but in my opinion that is not the key to success, and the degree you get in my opinion is just an addition to your last name. It's not guaranteed to make them successful for sure, especially now that I've heard rumors that degrees can be bought, it's not all about money, but most everything requires money.

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.

Gambling can be fun and also become a serious problem if not done appropriately. Alot of gambler get themselves into problem because they gamble anyhow and anytime. There are some times you should take a break in gambling so that you won't become an addict or give yourself problem. Time you shouldn't gamble includes:

👉👉when you are in need of money urgently
Some people gamble the most when they are in need of urgent money. They use the little in their account to gamble believe they can double the money in no time through gambling to do what they want to do. This most times go wrong making them to lose the little they should have save for that purpose


This scenario for me is a desperate move, to be honest. Why would you think about gambling? There are so many ways for us to get earnings. We all know that the chances of us winning at gambling are very low, but the chances of us losing are very high. That's just the way it is, right?

This is really a very wrong move if there is ever another gambler who uses this method. Maybe some of them think that this is the last solution in their minds, but the truth is that there is another way; they are just lazy.

You say that it is a desperate scenario but on the other hand you also say that there are still many ways to make money outside of gambling, meaning simply that they already have no way to be able to make money so in the end they make this very risky gambling a place to earn for them. On the other hand I'm not saying that your idea is wrong about "there are many other ways" but not everyone can think that broadly to find a solution or find a new place of income to overcome their financial problems.

On the other hand I would definitely also say that making gambling a place to earn is a very wrong idea and not recommended at all, not least because it is as you say that the percentage of losses is always higher than wins so this will actually make someone end up in a much worse situation in his life, instead of making money but what happens instead is experiencing a lot of losses. And also another thing maybe I would not be too supportive of the idea of "desperation" in this scenario, because it cannot be denied that there may be some gamblers who do not know at all about the amount of risk involved in gambling, so maybe it is not based on desperation but because of ignorance.

Gambling really is for the lucky to be honest.

Everyone will get there with the hopes of winning or at least to have a good time.

It's only the few lucky ones that end up actually winning something.

And they are just randomly sampled. There's no correlation between how good player you are and how much you win.

I want to deviate on that. I will continue to believe that gambling is for skilled people who can be profitable in the long run. Because if you rely on luck, you are not gonna end up winning, you might if you are extremely lucky like you are hitting a jackpot (one time big time), but if you only hit a minimal amount you will still come back again to gamble, and eventually you'll lose. That's the edge we have, and we can never beat that.

So, in my case, I try to learn and develop my skills so one day I'll make a living in gambling. ... sounds impossible, right? But that's just me...

This sounds to be different, if we put the goal of earning in gambling then yes obviously the skilled will be superior to a newbie coming in, but the skilled can never be superior to the house or the casino as they are basically the ones who create and design all the games that are provided in such a way. So with this I would probably say that the idea of making what you say in gambling in the long run has very little chance of success, because things can't always be predicted accurately no matter how skilled you are.

You've said that it's very difficult to rely on luck to really make a win, yes that's true, but the problem is that most of the winning results in gambling always refer to how lucky you are when running a session, and anyway your idea of making a living in the long run on gambling in my opinion is too dangerous, I don't prohibit it but it doesn't hurt for us to remind each other even if it's just a suggestion because it also leads to good, but yes you have the freedom in terms of choosing decisions and good luck friend.

This is another reason why gambling can not be a job or anything like a source of income cause you can't know your games would play out and no predictions is ever accurate.

If you have such experience share it with us let's see the luck guys around.

First off, congratulations on your win buddy. We go back to the original understanding that this is gambling where anything can happen unexpectedly and all wins in gambling always come by "chance" and that confirms that gambling is a lucky activity which means you will be able to win when you are lucky enough in one of your sessions.

On the other hand there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to always be able to win at the end of the session, as I said above that you will only be able to win when you are really lucky and nothing more than that, which means I agree with your idea that gambling cannot be used to earn because in my opinion it is too impossible to achieve success because there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever as I said above which means there is no consistency in terms of earning because all wins always happen by "chance" like the one you just got.
