81  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Couple won the jackpot but split soon after! on: March 31, 2024, 11:30:01 PM
Ops is there any update on the case, because this topic seems to attract alot of comments and discussions that will become more interesting if we can have update on the case, have the couple finally agreed on a sharing formula or they are still at a longer head with fights over who get what and how much the each get, I believe by now there should already be enjoying the money and making peace within because for me they both luck shine and that is why they won the jackpot on the first place.
I am also interested if there are updates about this. Because the interesting part is that money have split their relationship and we can all have that conclusion that their relationship is capitalized by money and any amount that's involved on this jackpot. Well, if I am one of the party and my partner wants to split because of that money, I'd give it to her and that have saved me from being tied up in my lifetime!

It excites me when it is my favorite player and team that will play. Other than that, I just enjoy any game that I gamble because that's how it goes when I want to spend my money on gambling. You don't have to think that much when your money at stake when it's not a lot although you still worked hard for it but just as how it goes, you only have to enjoy everything no matter what the results are.
This applies generally to all gamblers, meaning that when someone places a bet at the time, feelings of pleasure will appear instantly, and that is the essence of gambling itself. The passion one gets from gambling makes a person repeat the habit tomorrow, and this cycle is what we call addiction.

It must be admitted that earning money is very difficult, and sometimes spending it is very easy, but some people won't mind it too much if the goal is to have fun. As long as the important thing is not to go too far, this means you still have to control yourself well so you don't experience big losses.

For some people, gambling becomes a routine activity to relieve stress due to work pressure, so there will always be an urge to continue doing it tomorrow, regardless of whether we are lucky or not. However, it is also important to protect your time, so that you don't spend too much time gambling, which you fear could disrupt your productive time at work.
Spending is easy because the money is in you and you just have to choose wherever you're going to spend them and one of them is to gamble. Because with the thought of most gamblers that they can have some returns from it and at the same time, the enjoyment is there. With that, you'll know that gambling is exciting to you because the chances that are there makes you want to gamble for some more. I doubt it that someone haven't felt that way when they're new to gambling.

Hi,

There are always things that we are passionate about doing, such as video games, football, basketball, and sports in general, meaning that everyone has something that excites them and makes them want to do.
Like others, I get very excited when I sit down, take my phone, and start my bets. This does not mean that I am addicted, but rather I find it more comfortable and I have more fun.

Does gambling excites you? What motivates you, winning or just the fun in it ?

84  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does prediction in sport work for you? on: March 29, 2024, 11:22:58 PM
If you are interested in gambling on sports, do you rely on prediction betting sites? Why?
No.
I can make my own predictions and that's why I don't rely on predictions made by betting websites. These bookies probably have got some good insights about their predictions but I just can't do that when I know that I can rely on my own.

What is the most prominent site you rely on?
None.  Smiley
85  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been kicked out of a casino? on: March 28, 2024, 11:03:39 PM
Hi community,

We always hear about a gambler who has been harassed, expelled, or banned from a casino for a number of justified or unjustified reasons. There are those who have been banned for violating the laws or internal regulations of the casino, or for suspicious actions that negatively affect the course of play, or chaos inside the casino, or for other unknown reasons.

Have you been in this situation before?
It's a pleasure to hear your story.
Never and I don't even want to get into trouble. That's why if I go anywhere, I always make sure that I read the rules of the premises so that I won't be in a problematic situation because that's what I am trying to avoid at all times and when I am not familiar with things around whether it's in the physical casino or not.

It's funny when I've read the news about Jrue Holiday when he's being traded by Bucks to Celtics. He said that if he's getting traded, he should be informed in 24 hours. But with his experience, he received the notice 5 minutes before his last match with his former was about to happen.
He is not really in a position to demand that kind of thing. The team could not really care less but I can agree that it could have been done out of respect to his previous contributions.
Yeah, he's not yet in that position but at least give him some notice for 24 hours or longer not in 5 minutes before the game.

Quote
That's actually funny and sad at the same time that these players can get traded anytime the team wants to or when the deal's done even without them knowing that they'd be traded.
They already understand the business of transfer markets but some of them could still be emotional about it since they like the team. It is what it is.

He is in a better place now so he's one lucky player.
Many of them understands this business concept in the league and that's why they're thriving to become better to get better contract offers but I agree that he's in good team now.
87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the #1 rule you live by in sports betting? on: March 27, 2024, 11:11:53 PM
Only gamble what I can afford to lose. That's always been the rule #1 for me and I am sure that it's also the rule #1 for most of the sportsbettors here. And the list goes on but you're only asking for one rule that we're living in so, that's it for me.

89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How possible is it to win lottery 14 times using mathematics calculations on: March 26, 2024, 08:32:31 PM
This is the funniest thing I have heard, how can someone even win the lottery once with mathematical calculation. This can only happen if the lottery isn't a fair game.
In a case of fair lottery numbers are spined and then five or more numbers are selected at random.
The lottery is a game of luck and no mathematical permutations can help you win the lottery don't be deceived. Those who win lottery are are amongst the luckiest people on earth.
Mate, they certainly are the luckiest. Look at what's happening in our national lottery and there have been a lot of winners for consecutive times although this isn't about someone who's good in mathematics but there were series of winners and they keep on coming, our country is breaking the record about hitting the lottery is much easier and has more chance than being struck by a lightning. But you know what, there's corruption here indeed and just this day, there are two winners that will split the $158k. It looks low but this is after when our senate started to investigate continuous winning in the lottery like from $10M and a lot of series of millions being won.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dana thought he lost $80k one night and his advice for gamblers on: March 26, 2024, 07:30:44 PM
It's part of the game and gambling, as long as there are winners and losers then someone to expect that he can be in both of it or mostly on the side of losing.
Well, these are like rich men normal thing that they'd lost ONLY $80k but what amount is that to us, right?
And then finding out that he's lost $3M so, nothing changes to him but heck that's a lot of money and for sure that he had scratched his head there.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make your bets when you're tired on: March 25, 2024, 10:29:44 PM
However, you must take a big lesson from the mistake. You already realize that playing gambling should be in a good condition. We also don't force to gamble if the condition looks bad. We use money in gambling, we will risk the money to gamble in a bad condition. You just experienced it, don't do it again!!
Gambling is like to do tasks that we're on a good shape. So, if you're in a bad shape and you try to gamble, that means that you are not prepared to do it. When you feel bad and you think that it makes no sense, don't gamble. But this is why we are telling everyone to gamble for fun and whatever the consequence and result, you'd be ending up enjoying and having no grudge whichever is the amount you do it. If you win, you're lucky and if you lose then don't take it personally.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you stake it all put of over confidence in your club on: March 25, 2024, 08:56:59 PM
so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
Don't do that, you don't know if these friends of yours are really going for it. But because of your words, he has to show you that he's a real fan and a gambler. I wouldn't dare to do or say that to my friends and I'll just tell them that they can support their favorite clubs in anyway that they can. And please don't move to the point that they have to stake away their lives or life savings or an amount that's too much to them and they are forced to do it because they think it's fine for them to do so just to show them they can do your dare to them.

True, those are words that can make your friend or anyone feel supported or encouraged to continue his actions to bet even very large money which is where such words might make them even more convinced that they really have to "do it", whereas on the other hand high confidence will usually only lead you to disappointment at the end of the session when everything does not go according to what you want.

Therefore, as you said, it is better to be neutral in terms of giving advice to others about betting issues, especially to your friends, where the more appropriate ideas and suggestions are as you said above, namely telling him that he doesn't have to push too hard because after all, supporting a club doesn't always have to mean risking money and also yes, it is definitely better to suggest something more reasonable, such as trying to advise them to bet an amount that they can afford if for example they have the mind to bet a large amount because they are driven by their beliefs, Because obviously this action will be able to prevent something that is not wanted such as results that do not match expectations that can make them end up with disappointment and regret.
It's really better to become neutral in terms of giving advise for someone that's already addicted or going onto that point. You don't have to trigger them just because they're a fan or not because if you do, what if they bet with their life savings and they eventually lose? you might even be blamed for that because you're the one who dared them to do it.
That's why, I'd avoid this kind of argument with my friends just to prove that they're a real bettor or fan of a club or sports.

94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: March 23, 2024, 10:46:24 PM
That is guaranteed in gambling, to lose. Being rich or poor, it doesn't have any difference at all when you're going to lose money. You can win but not a lot and then lose again. The cycle will continue and it's like how you'll keep your money from your wins. If you're not wise and manned up, you'll lose again that money to the casino but if you keep the entire thing and just gamble some other time again, see that it doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor.
That's how every gambling game goes and there are more losses than wins. Maybe there are still quite a lot of gamblers who are aware of this and they are too lenient because they keep getting what they want.
Most of us are aware of this but we just choose to ignore those matters because what is important to us is we gamble, we win and if we lose. We're just going to take a break for a while and then be back at it again.

Here I call it joy and they forget that they often lose in gambling. Emotions will subside if they win and that is a mistake they cannot control. It is better to gamble at another time and I agree with you when you have made enough money that day.
I agree, if you can't find yourself lucky and at a bad shape, you shouldn't gamble. But if you can control yourself and you think that you're totally fine if you can comeback at anytime with some budget again, do it. Otherwise, don't go any further when you can't take it anymore.
95  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 23, 2024, 11:45:29 AM
Normal things can happen with the urge to win
but mistakes definitely exist and are repeated continuously by gamblers.
And losing is also normal and that's why most mistakes are repeatedly done because many of the gamblers sees things normally as if losing is part of daily lives which is true. As the losses have been accepted and expected, there will be mistakes that shall be stopped and learned but new forms of these mistakes can come out again like it has never done before. It is the cycle of doing mistakes, learning from it and on top of that, another mistake comes.

I agree with the idea of continuously experiencing fresh mistakes. Gambling is a continuous process, and we must find ourselves making mistakes. One can't master the process, because the losses keep appearing. Hence, gamblers will definitely feel like newbies at some point in their everyday gambling sessions. Embracing the mistakes and learning ways to cut them down, is better. What matters is figuring out the best idea for dealing with these mistakes? It's not the gambler's fault to feel happy after a win for instance and want to wager more in celebration of his wins. The professionals, even, get greedy while gambling, the difference is that they tend to level it and not abuse the greed. It's natural for humans to get greedy at some point. Especially when money is involved.

View gambling as though you are looking at life, problems don't end. Humans keep meeting unique versions of troubles, that keep making life look harder, but deep down it's those obstacles that make the life journey fun. Hence the gambling mistakes that continually occur help gamblers to continue gambling, and not get tired of it. Consider when you are done with a video game and feel like you've mastered it, playing it won't be fun anymore compared to when it gets harder each time you try. Gambling losses happen consistently to make players understand they haven't mastered the game. Hence the house controls it this way to get hold of every gambler's curiosity to win all the time.
For me, I don't have to master it but experiencing fresh mistakes as I gamble is actually a good journey that I'd always remember. It makes me want to improve more with my decisions so that I won't commit mistakes that I have done already. If it's new then I'd accept that and will add that up to the list that I have learned already and won't do it again. Anyway, just enjoy as you gamble and whatever is the outcome of it and when you're creating mistakes. Make sure that they're not going to lose your entire fund.

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

Mate, there's a ground breaking and probably can be included in the Guinness by winning consecutively, a lot of times in the national lottery in our country. The PCSO(agency of the lottery) doesn't name the winner and just puts the alias 'lone bettor' and look at how many times that it had won. This isn't about math or statistics but majority of our countrymen believes that this is all pure corruption from our government.

I am seeing of them have fun while getting into the real thing. I know that there are some suspicious and just trying to attract more people sign under them or their agency for the casino that they promote locally. But sometimes, they're just for real that I know these people(agents) personally shares how much their players won but it's been a long time since I haven't seen them so it's probably part of the plan and marketing but, it's still allowed in our country.

Yeah, that is a good thing that your country still allows it.

I think that personal responsibility should be the most important thing.

But yeah, many people are going to be exposed to a weird legal framework in their countries I guess...

It's the time to think about your membership I guess Smiley
I agree, personal responsibility is needed at most times and even if they pass this into law. We have to obey it but no matter how harsh the penalties and punishments will be, there will still be a lot of individuals that are going to violate and will continue in doing so.
But in social media times today, things are easy to get recorded when you're too vocal and active in posting your activities.

It's still a bill so it's not yet a law. I have got a lot of friends that are gamblers and they always share their betting slip, wins and losses in their facebook accounts. Once this passes onto law then it will surely going to stop them from sharing the same content materials that have been done. A lot of them are agents of these casinos and that's why it will affect their hustle if it happens to become a law. But as of now, there's nothing to worry about it if it's not yet a whole law and not yet signed by the president.
Yeah, that's usually how people actually make money with gambling, through ads or social media, etc.

To make money actually gambling is a different story, and it's actually quite difficult. But it's fun, so many people do it as entertainment.
