801  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: March 06, 2024, 11:25:31 PM
Excited seems a little overstated for how I feel while gambling, but I do enjoy it. I would describe it more as being entertained. I’ve never hit something crazy though. If I hit a win for a couple hundred thousand dollars I’m sure I would be excited, but with my small gambling amounts I’m usually just looking for mild entertainment.
Yeah same here but I only place small bets though I am a bit excited with the results that sometimes comes with adrenaline rush most especially if I bet more than my limits that freaken me out I don't know why. That is why I don't like abusing my bets like being greedy because I know how it feels when losing and winning as it might be intense. It's really fun it's like riding a rollercoaster while waiting for results.

That's a good approach to gambling and I would probably advise you to continue to maintain that approach to your gambling, treating gambling in moderation such as by only putting small amounts along with putting limits on involvement is the best approach that leads to many preventive benefits so that we avoid many bad possibilities or at least so that the amount we lose is not too large. And you've already said that you've felt what it's like to end a session with a loss, it sucks and most gamblers find it hard to ignore their emotions when they're in that situation.

We know that by putting a large amount into gambling the winnings are bound to be large too, but that's not the point, the problem is that it's not easy to be that lucky in gambling and most of what happens is ending the session with a loss, so it's better to choose to treat gambling according to what you can afford, whether it's in terms of putting a budget amount and also limiting the time of involvement, because the logic is that if you are lucky then you will also win even if the winnings are not too large but it's a decent win.

If such patterns were really useful then maybe someone would tell other people and as time goes by more people will definitely succeed in getting big wins or they can even win consistently in gambling, but in fact that doesn't happen. and in reality it is still the same in the sense that the number of gamblers who experience more losses than wins still dominates. For me, methods like that will not be useful in gambling because I always emphasize to myself that no matter what, the house will always be the winner, in the sense that if you do 10 sessions then maybe the only win you can get is 1-3 sessions and the rest you lose. and if you calculate it, it is clear that the number of losses is always greater.

So simply put, don't push too hard on something that basically doesn't make sense and is beyond your abilities, logically not many casinos would be able to survive if gamblers had accurate ways such as patterns to win. So it's better to gamble without thinking about anything in particular like how to win, and it's better to focus on risk management, by placing all limits. Treating gambling as a fun activity when you have a boring time is better than taking it too seriously in a place that is only based on "probability".
People who knows about the pattern will use it for themselves before they will tell other people. They will try to win as much money as they can and after they hard to win, they will give the pattern secret to other people because they see the pattern is change. But it's true that many gamblers already lose their money playing gambling and difficult to recover their money although they are trying so hard more than before. I think we don't have to try to find the pattern and just let it comes to ourselves when we playing gambling. Besides that, we playing gambling because we want to enjoy the gambling games using some money with limitations so we don't gets any trouble playing gambling games.

We don't have to force ourselves playing gambling too serious, especially we already have seen many gamblers lose their money playing gambling. That will be our real sample for us so we will always take care ourselves when playing gambling because we don't want to gets more losses. We don't have to think about the pattern and lets focus to enjoy the gambling games and always use limits to prevent to big lose.

It is true, and it is certain that the person is the richest person in the world because he has a way or pattern to get a lot of winnings, but the fact is that so far I have never seen or heard that there are gamblers who can successfully turn their fortunes into rich people just by gambling, on the other hand I would be able to say that you can become a rich person in gambling if you are basically the owner of one of the casinos. But we can't rule out the fact that most gamblers still suffer from a lot of dominating losses.

On the other hand, it is a fact that when you have lost money in gambling, it is very difficult to get back something that has been lost even though you have done whatever you think is useful. So yes of course there is no need to push too much for victory in gambling because after all everything always depends on how lucky you are in running the session, meaning that you will only be able to win when you are really lucky, and it is better for us to focus on enjoying gambling rather than focusing too much on winning which is actually beyond our control, and yes as you said and it is true that many gamblers have lost significant amounts when they try to chase victory and we can make an example so that we can be more careful and vigilant.
803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: March 05, 2024, 11:09:44 PM
Well, in this case we can conclude that the gambler wins because of his own efforts, not because of other people's efforts, so if he wins, he can enjoy it himself without needing to share it with other people. Just be calm and enjoy your gambling without feeling that if you lose, you will blame your friends because friends you don't know your pattern of playing and their don't know how much loss you experience. Because the gambling you do is the one who creates the loss, so whether you win or lose, you have to be able to accept it without having to involve other people in this.

Blaming other people will only waste your time because your friends definitely won't respond because your friends don't feel guilty for the mistakes you made yourself. Losses are common among gamblers. If you don't want to experience losses and end up blaming other people, it's better not to play because it will disrupt your friendship ties just because you blame each other.
When entering and playing gambling, we must take responsibility for our actions there, as well as losses. Only us and no one else. I often hear that someone was brought into the game by a friend and because of him they lost a lot of money, this is not correct. Our friend didn’t force us to play; we pressed the spins and bets button ourselves, not him. Another interesting point is that if he won the jackpot, he could completely forget about his friend. It turns out that this is to some extent a mirror situation in which everyone can show their true colors.

As for me, I can recommend some bets to a friend, but I will not insist that he make them, but only suggest them. Moreover, suggest that he do this with a small amount of money, and also warn that addiction is possible if he loses. Besides, if such games were recommended to me, I would never blame my friend.

It makes sense, indeed if I think that no friend would force us to do gambling, because of course it is not good. Even if those who are addicted to gambling want to gamble, I think the bad action that will occur is their coercion of their friends in terms of borrowing money for gambling, if they force their friends to do gambling it seems unlikely. It's true what you said, if for example someone gets a jackpot there is a possibility that they can forget about their friend, because of course most people when they have a lot of money they prefer to look for new things.

Now if to recommend it just makes sense, I myself if someone asks problems or issues about gambling where they don't know gambling at all, I explain it, and after explaining I don't even invite him, instead I forbid him to try it and warn him for fear of bad things happening that can destroy their own lives.
804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it ethical to break your gambling rules on: March 05, 2024, 10:42:19 PM
Breaking your personal gambling rules doesn't affect you in any ways. What if you broke the rule and still win? Will you complain of breaking the rule? Where breaking the rule become a problem is when you have played 4 consecutive weeks without wining and you blatantly refused to stop, them it becomes unethical. That is to say that the gambling has moved from a normal gambling to aggressive gambling. Which might Leed to loosing all fund.

However breaking the rules is not recommended because it's like you're doing something that's beyond your means, but the problem is like your question here about whether they'll stop breaking when it leads them to victory, I think there will be some people who are interested in trying again in the hope of getting a win like before, this is what is dangerous when you become too accustomed to breaking the rules that you have made for yourself especially in terms of finances.

I think this will only keep a gambler stuck in a cycle of chasing wins to make up for losses when they are unable to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session. So don't mind even if you basically win when you break the rules because it's a situation where you're lucky and nothing more than that, which means it doesn't mean that when you break the rules again in the next session you can win, no that's the wrong mindset, and you should assume that somehow you have to go back to the rules you made at the beginning so that you stay within your limits.
805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: March 05, 2024, 09:49:25 PM

Right. The problems of drug addiction and ludomania are very different for families with different incomes. For the rich, it is easy to solve such a problem, they will easily find a good clinic, they will easily close the debts of a relative dependent on games. And in the end, everything will be fine if the gambler himself wants to fix his life for the better.
But for the poor, such a problem is very harmful, because they have nothing to cover the debts of a troubled relative, let alone afford expensive treatment.
I know it's easy for the rich but it's also dependent on some factors too even if the person is rich because the sole decision I believe lies on the gambler or addict himself because most addicts don't know and fail to admit also that they are addicted when it comes to gambling or drugs and if that kind of person is offered help he might definitely return to his old habits because he isn't ready to let go .

We must understand that the disease of addiction, especially gambling addiction, lies in the human brain and mind that has difficulty avoiding bad habits, even though basically it is a bad habit like gambling but if basically they always want to do it then obviously this means that curing someone who is addicted is difficult in the sense that in their hearts they still really want to gamble. So actually it doesn't matter how rich you are if the addicted person still has a high interest in gambling activities then it is clear that it will be difficult to cure even if you take the person to a psychological expert or wherever you think you can cure him.

And the meaning of curing addiction is very simple "if the person really has a strong intention and determination" to avoid the bad habit, and also what makes it difficult is like you said that there are some addicted gamblers who do not admit to others or especially their families that they are in the addiction phase and in my opinion they are one of the gamblers who enter the addiction phase without realizing it, so I think it's just a matter of time and usually a gambler will be able to really have a strong intention and determination to stop when they have experienced very bad things that can traumatize them.
806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the highest amount of money you've ever bet in a single game? on: March 05, 2024, 09:19:19 PM
I once bet $100 on dice, and that was quite a lot of money for me, in my country that's 2 weeks' wages, unfortunately I lost that money, I did it because of my own greed because when I bet $50 I won and tried with higher bets, that was my bitter experience, from that incident I never bet more than $1 in the game
You shouldn’t make bet too much amount in single which amount you are not able to afford that loss. Since $100 is your 1-week income, a lot depends on it, so wasting that money on gambling was not a good decision for you.  Always spend maximum 5% of total income on gambling if you want to enjoy gambling. Overdoing it will hurt you financially so gambling should only be used for entertainment and it is foolish to put yourself in danger by enjoying it too much.

Of course it is, and indeed that is the more recommended approach to gambling which is to bet a small amount that you can afford to lose, because this is the only best approach that can make you safe in the long run, don't let you choose the wrong approach to gambling because of course as many have happened that most people are trapped in a cycle of addiction without realizing it because they take the wrong approach and usually this happens because gamblers are too focused on chasing wins so what happens is that they suffer a lot of losses.

Betting no more than 5% is a good approach because I think it makes it less likely for you to run into financial problems or lose balance in your finances and obviously the "moderation" approach can keep you away from other bad possibilities like addiction which can basically make a gambler lose all their valuables over time. On the other hand, it is true as you said that gambling is more recommended to be used as a place of entertainment when you are feeling bored, the reason? because there is no certainty whatsoever for the problem of results at the end of the session, and obviously you cannot take a place that is basically only based on "possibilities" if you really don't want to experience bad things.
807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: March 05, 2024, 06:52:45 PM
There is no %100 guarantee in gambling and i don't also believe in expert predictions. Because people called expert are just people like you and I who do some research just as you do always. The only difference is that they spend more time in checking previous matches and have aore clear evidence of wining than normal people who predict on casual. ThoughThey might have more accuracy in prediction but can't be %100 right because gambling is unpredictable which means anything can happen at any time due to errors.

Gambling has an inextricable connection with prediction. Because winning in gambling is uncertain, every gambler must conduct gambling based on predictions. But depending on different data a predictor can claim to be a big expert but there is no predictor in gambling that can give any idea about the certain win. A gambling expert may share relatively good experience but he can never claim that he can predict the outcome of any bet. I think people who believe in any such gambling expert must not have developed a full understanding of gambling. I personally don't trust any gambling experts. But I can match their predictions with my bets. I try to understand if there is any error between me and those experts.

And the conclusion of the statement you said here is that there is absolutely no one who is said to be an expert in gambling, they are not unable to develop their understanding of gambling to be able to produce accurate predictions to produce many wins but what is certain is that gambling cannot be predicted accurately at all, if there are indeed so-called experts in gambling then I make sure that the person is the richest person in the world who can always produce wins, but in fact it is not and I have never heard of it.

On the other hand, I will believe  that they are experts if they basically provide examples of their winning streaks to be used as evidence. After all, gambling is a business for casinos and it is unlikely that anyone can be an expert in gambling who can get a lot of winnings, still in the end it is nothing more than a self claim that they are an expert, but such claims cannot be believed by most people if they do not provide evidence of long-term winning streaks as a result of the gambling they do. And the logic is that if there really is someone who is called an expert then obviously there will be a lot of casinos that go bankrupt, but the fact is that now various casinos have sprung up, especially online casinos and this means that gambling is indeed a profitable business for them.
808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: March 05, 2024, 05:42:10 PM
Gambling both involves skills and luck. While luck is a factor, strategy, knowledge, and experiences can help increase your chances of winning. It's important to understand the games rules, manage bets wisely and gamble responsibly

Of course gambling involves both luck skill and some other attributes like ability for the gambler to analyze plus his experience in that particular gambling activity. But the fact is most of the time the dependence on winning can be seen as a percentage of both luck and other attributes like experience and proper analysis. However the actual truth is it is not the same for all gambling activities and all casino games.
Sometimes in some gambling activities like cards and other calculative games, if you exclude cheating, the probability of winning depends more on your ability to calculate plus your  level of experience in that particular game. However when it comes to games like soccer where you have to make predictions rather, the winning probability is based more on luck.

I see that your statement seems to be reversed here, gambling is divided into several types and if you are involved in types of gambling such as slot games or lottery then it is a pure game of luck, in the sense that you will never be able to apply any strategy or skill or analysis in that type of game which is purely based on luck which means that whatever you do will have no effect on increasing the chances of winning which means that only luck will be able to lead you to victory.

But if you are involved in the type of sports betting then yes obviously skills, understanding along with experience will have a role and influence that is quite important to increase the chances of winning, one of the differences is because this type of bet has a track record that we can basically make as a consideration for making decisions. On the other hand I understand that whatever type of gambling always depends on luck in the end, but there are some types of gambling that are pure luck and there are also types of betting that require skill, understanding, experience along with analysis and sports betting in my opinion is a type of bet that combines luck with skill.
809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which player are you? on: March 05, 2024, 05:10:58 PM
I'm not a gambler who takes gambling too seriously, I'm not really interested and I usually only gamble when I really want to and when I have some budget that is not used for other things such as the necessities of life, and also I have limited time in my daily life where I have to work and when I have time off I have to help my partner to maintain the building shop next to my house, and this requires me to look for a short type of gambling that does not take a long time to find out the results between winning or losing.

This situation makes me more interested in choosing types of gambling such as slot games that do not take a long time to find out the results, on the other hand I understand and know that this type of gambling is pure luck and honestly rarely do I get a win even with a small amount, but this is not a big problem for me because as I said above that I am not an active gambler like other gamblers, and also the amount of budget allocation on gambling that I do is relatively small and maybe if you estimate the amount it is the same as the amount of pocket money for my child a day.

810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: March 05, 2024, 04:50:57 PM
Casino is just casino, not bank. Online gambling platforms commonly offer tools such as deposit limits to promote responsible gambling behavior. These tools allow users to set restrictions on the amount of money they can deposit into their accounts within a specified period. I think online gambling platforms arent willing to take a risk on big deposits of their users, this is why limit is impostant. By utilizing these features, gamblers can effectively manage their spending and minimize the risk of overspending or developing gambling-related issues.

Withdrawing a portion of winnings during a winning streak is a prudent practice to safeguard profits. Gambling outcomes are inherently unpredictable, and a winning streak can quickly turn into a losing one. By withdrawing some winnings, gamblers ensure that they secure a portion of their profits regardless of future outcomes. This approach promotes financial discipline and helps prevent the temptation to gamble away all winnings impulsively. Leveraging deposit limits and withdrawing profits during winning streaks are integral components of responsible gambling behavior.
Unfortunately this is very difficult for the average gambler to do, and this is because once they are experimenting a winning streak they believe this is the opportunity they were waiting for and they do not want to let it go, so instead of choosing the most prudent path of action which is to withdraw part of their profits, what they do is to increase the size of their bet with the intention of maximizing the profits they could obtain, a move that often backfires and makes them to lose money instead.

That's right, most gamblers always feel that a winning streak is a good situation for them to go on an even crazier spree of "risking much larger amounts", greed plays a role in this situation and the hope of getting rich instantly makes them even more eager to do so. In fact it is difficult for a gambler to make wise decisions when they are in a state of dominating excitement such as being on a winning streak, and this means that winning and losing situations are actually quite dangerous situations if you gamble without having a true understanding of what gambling really is in the sense that you are too "tempted" and too focused on winning, which when the situation is winning then you will continue to try to multiply the winnings by putting a larger amount, and when you are in a losing situation then the feeling of "curiosity" will continue to push you with the thought "once again, surely I will win this time".

On the other hand greed is always the initial problem for surprising results that are far from what they expected for most gamblers, and in my opinion only when you are able to become a responsible gambler then you will be able to make some wise decisions such as cashing out when you are in a winning situation and stop rowing when you lose, you will be able to do all the recommended actions easily when you do not ignore the idea that gambling is a "risky" activity.
811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: March 05, 2024, 04:30:02 PM
Gambling has absolutely no element of certainty whatsoever that can guarantee you a win at the end of the session, it will never be known unless you have completed the game which means that your excessive actions with the aim of getting a big win will actually only make you feel more disappointed, that's for sure, because you put excessive hopes in a place that has absolutely no certainty. On the other hand it seems that your statement is reversed my friend, there is absolutely no pleasure in the situation of addiction, and you have also said above that they will only suffer a lot of problems as a result of wrong gambling, there is no pleasure at all in the defeat that dominates.

You're correct. Gambling is inherently uncertain, and there are no guarantees of winning, regardless of how much money or effort one puts into it. Gamblers need to recognize and accept this reality to avoid disappointment and potential harm. Excessive or compulsive gambling behaviour often stems from a misguided belief that one can control or influence the outcome of games of chance. However, in reality, the outcomes of gambling activities are determined by random chance or probability, and no amount of skill, strategy, or investment can ensure a win.

Placing excessive hopes or expectations on gambling can lead to disappointment, financial loss, and emotional distress when the desired outcomes are not achieved. It's essential for gamblers to approach gambling with a realistic understanding of its inherent risks and limitations, and to gamble responsibly within their means. By acknowledging the uncertainty of gambling and reframing expectations, gamblers can make more informed decisions and avoid the pitfalls of excessive gambling behaviour.

Sure, and this is the reason why we are always advised to keep gambling as a leisure activity with the aim of minimizing your boredom by getting pleasure from your sessions. As I said above that one of the reasons is because gambling is always gray, casinos only provide "possibility of winning" and not "certainty", and this fact makes me always think of suggesting healthy engagement to other gamblers especially some of my friends who are also fellow gamblers, not least because sharing experiences and understanding is a good idea to help each other before it's too late.

I agree with your idea that excessive and impulsive gambling is always based on false beliefs, all this happens because of the hope they put on winning so that indirectly makes them "too sure" that they will be able to win when in fact the fact at the end of the session always slaps them that something they always hoped for did not happen and obviously excessive actions will only make you feel more disappointed. Putting hope and faith in a place that has no certainty is an action that will only make someone end up with addiction, logically when you are too hopeful but the fact is that what you expect does not happen then obviously you will not be able to accept the fact of defeat and this makes a gambler act more aggressively like chasing victory to restore something that has been lost, and this is a situation where someone starts to enter the addiction cycle. The point is that getting your hopes up on gambling can ruin your life in many aspects in the long run, and the mistake I think is that they don't look at gambling from many angles during the introductory stage like when they are beginners, which is usually people like that only look at one side of the "opportunity to multiply" which indirectly overrides the thought of the possibility of intolerable losses.

812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Work Now May Not Work Tomorrow on: March 05, 2024, 04:07:39 PM
You will not find an exact pattern in gambling because the gambling system works randomly, the possibility of winning with the same pattern only works on several wins which can trigger you to increase the amount of bet because you have assumed the potential to get a high win when entering that pattern zone, you will realize The pattern doesn't work after high losses in betting after you have lost the balance of several previous wins.

I say gambling patterns are bad because there is potential for winning but don't focus on gambling to find that pattern, but you should gamble responsibly and gamble just for fun so you won't lose a lot of balance from each different gambling pattern.
That's right because the pattern in gambling will always changes and we will difficult to search it. That's why we must using gambling for fun and just trying to enjoy gambling as an entertainment. We must prevent to increase the amount of bet because that can causing you lose much money and that will increasing your loses when you want to find the pattern.

We must be a responsibly gambler and not focus to find the pattern because that can causes us to gets many problems. We don't knows when we can win but we will see losses more often than win. So we must preventing the big loss by always limits our gambling activity. That's what we must do when we playing gambling so we can enjoy playing gambling.

If such patterns were really useful then maybe someone would tell other people and as time goes by more people will definitely succeed in getting big wins or they can even win consistently in gambling, but in fact that doesn't happen. and in reality it is still the same in the sense that the number of gamblers who experience more losses than wins still dominates. For me, methods like that will not be useful in gambling because I always emphasize to myself that no matter what, the house will always be the winner, in the sense that if you do 10 sessions then maybe the only win you can get is 1-3 sessions and the rest you lose. and if you calculate it, it is clear that the number of losses is always greater.

So simply put, don't push too hard on something that basically doesn't make sense and is beyond your abilities, logically not many casinos would be able to survive if gamblers had accurate ways such as patterns to win. So it's better to gamble without thinking about anything in particular like how to win, and it's better to focus on risk management, by placing all limits. Treating gambling as a fun activity when you have a boring time is better than taking it too seriously in a place that is only based on "probability".
813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: March 04, 2024, 03:30:23 PM
While some casinos go bankrupt others are striving and making big bucks. I'm not sure if we can check anywhere how many casinos there are in the world, how many of them go bankrupt every year, and how many of them are making a big profit, I guess it's even trickier to follow up some stats on crypto casinos.

So who is winning more... I would say casinos! If it were otherwise there would be more winners around and fewer casinos! Simple as that... Smiley

Yeah, and we will see a lot of testimonies from gamblers that they won against online casinos almost every day. It's so obvious because those are rare circumstances. This forum itself would see more about gamblers who are losing every day and I bet fewer can tell that they won.
Casino games are meant to make us lose, the winning percentage is way low that it's almost impossible to win against it. But still, gamblers would take that risk just to have a shot at that low chance. Who doesn't like that kind of adventure? Grin I've played so long in most of the casino games in the online gambling industry and I've seen red marks in my graph more than the green ones. It's always bloody.
So, I could also say that casinos are the winning and I bet there will be more that will be created in the future because of how fast the growth of the industry is becoming. Sports have advertisements on gambling sites from time to time and there are more new names coming out in the market.

However, the winning percentage is always much lower than the losing percentage, meaning that this is what makes most gamblers lose more than they win, there is absolutely no winning streak, although there are but it is very rare, usually in 10x attempts they will only get 1 or 3 wins and the rest lose, but it is a fact that the winning situation can cover the disappointment of a gambler for the previous defeat, or what it means is that 5 defeats can be covered by just getting one win but this is not about them making a recovery amount but rather the sensation they get can make them forget that the amount they lost is still much greater.

On the other hand I would just believe that whoever it is will only be able to win occasionally and by "chance" and there are no lucky wins in the long run, because after all this is a business for the casino where your losses are the casino's profits. I think it is a fact that casinos will always have the upper hand because after all they are the ones who create and organize all the systems in every type of game provided, or simply they are the ones who manage your wins and losses, so it is impossible for casinos to always give you a win while on the other hand their goal of building gambling is to benefit themselves, and this is also the reason why we are always advised to gamble in moderation and not to overdo it because it is like you are wasting money and time on something that has no certainty.
814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: March 04, 2024, 03:05:26 PM
Absolutely, you've captured a fundamental truth about gambling. No strategy can guarantee consistent wins, and many strategies, if relied upon too heavily, can indeed lead to significant losses. This is because most Casinos and bookmakers always have a built-in advantage in their games or odds, ensuring that over the long run, they will make a profit. This means that even if a player employs a strategy, the odds are in favour of the house rather than the player. For example, in games like roulette or slot machines, where outcomes are purely based on luck, no amount of strategy can alter the odds in favour of the player.

While some strategies may seem promising in the short term or specific circumstances, they often fail to account for the inherent randomness and unpredictability of gambling outcomes. Moreover, factors such as variance, bankroll management, and the psychological aspect of gambling play crucial roles in determining success or failure. It's important for individuals to approach gambling with a realistic understanding of the risks involved and to gamble responsibly. This includes setting limits on both time and money spent, avoiding chasing losses, and understanding that ultimately, gambling should be seen as entertainment rather than a reliable source of income.

You made a good point. However, the focus should shift beyond the house edge and randomness. Player discipline and mindset matter. No strategy guarantees consistent wins? Correct. Strategy is about time and money management, not merely beating the odds. Bankroll management, realistic boundaries, and psychological traps are key. They promise control, not money. Control over decisions, emotions, and gambling. Healthy gambling involves self-awareness and educated choices. The real victory is not defeating the house, but not letting it win

The randomness applied by casinos to every system in the game will thwart all the plans and strategies you have so of course simply if it's time to lose, you will still lose, gambling is not something that can be learned because this activity is built only to try everyone's luck and nothing more than that so it is natural that there is absolutely no consistency in terms of winning because it will only happen when you are really in a lucky situation. On the other hand yes I quite agree with your idea that actually the strategy in gambling will only be influential if the strategy leads to preventive measures such as financial and time management and also limits expectations or expectations, and not to pursue something like winning because still as I said above that there is no certainty in gambling plus all systems run randomly to determine who will win.

This is the reason why it is always recommended to treat gambling naturally by always making decisions on your own abilities especially in terms of budget allocation, and yes healthy gambling is when you are able to manage everything well and not exceed your limits.

Most people can enjoy things that could harm them if done in excess without a problem, it is just that the cases of the people that cannot do it are so prominent and impossible to ignore, that it may seem as if this could happen to anyone.

But this is not really true, most of those that become addicted and suffered negative consequences had a predisposition to it already, so as long as you do not have it then you should be able to gamble without suffering any major setback.

If someone engages in excessive gambling activities, of course over time he will feel uncomfortable because excessive activity is not in accordance with our abilities and the results will not be satisfactory for us but will be a matter of regret.
Yes, gamblers who are addicted will certainly feel satisfied because just by gambling they get pleasure even though they often end up losing, but for gamblers who are not yet addicted, this is a problem for them.

Basically everything that is done in excess will always be bad, or the meaning will usually always produce bad results and this applies to everything and not just in gambling, but if you take it and apply it to gambling activities then of course as you say that over time anyone will feel uncomfortable, this is gambling which is an activity that only provides "possibilities" and nothing more than that, and obviously it is very natural if in the end there are some results at the end of the session that are not what you expected.

Gambling has absolutely no element of certainty whatsoever that can guarantee you a win at the end of the session, it will never be known unless you have completed the game which means that your excessive actions with the aim of getting a big win will actually only make you feel more disappointed, that's for sure, because you put excessive hopes in a place that has absolutely no certainty. On the other hand it seems that your statement is reversed my friend, there is absolutely no pleasure in the situation of addiction, and you have also said above that they will only suffer a lot of problems as a result of wrong gambling, there is no pleasure at all in the defeat that dominates.

I think it will just run in short-terms compared to the long-term because in the long-term, you might not reach it anymore and the house edge would be greater and your capital will be eaten. 

It's safe to say that you should just focus on enjoying the game rather than focusing on trying to beat the game unless you are in a skill-based game like poker or something. Other than that, I think it can be a great tool to use for entertainment, not for money making.

Of course, all wins that exist in gambling are only occasional, or the point is that it will only happen occasionally and that too by "chance" depending on whether you are lucky or not when running the session, logically the name of the gambling activity will always be about winning and losing, meaning there is absolutely no element of consistency in terms of earning, because there is no certainty that can tell us about the results at the end of the session, and this is what is called gambling activity that we have always known as an activity that will lose more often than win.

That's good advice, basically it's impossible to always succeed if you only focus on how to always win, remember you are under the power of the casino that builds all the rules and systems that exist in each game, so no matter how you pursue victory it still won't matter unless you are in a really lucky situation, And yes the best and recommended is better to focus on enjoying the game, don't be too excessive in expecting victory because actually it will only make you feel more disappointed when you finally lose, and I will say that gambling will really be able to produce when you become a dealer or owner of the casino itself.

People’s perception on gambling may be shaped by their environment. In Hollywood movies and TV shows, gambling is often portrayed as glamourous and an activity which attracts wealthy high rollers.

Some people may have grown up around gamblers who were greedy and always looking to make a quick buck. This might have influenced how they view gambling.

Examples of people being financially ruined by gambling are easy to find and sometimes people fixate more on the negative stories than positive ones.

I prefer to believe that most people use gambling as a place to earn or as a place to change their fortunes and finances for the better, I can confirm that this is the purpose of most of them coming to gambling because we can see that the population of gamblers who experience financial problems as a result of gambling is greater than those who gamble moderately or moderately, and especially those who are already in the addiction phase where obviously a lot of problems will arise there.

So the adverse effects experienced by people who treat gambling in the wrong and unadvisable way is ultimately what makes the viewpoint of a large part of society on this activity very negative, society claims that people who are involved in gambling are those who have bad behavior and personality although in fact there are always some gamblers who are able to treat gambling with the recommended approach, or in the sense of gambling with all the restrictions that can keep them safe like the understanding that responsible gamblers have, but yes it is quite difficult to make some people believe that there are some responsible gamblers because basically people will definitely focus more on the negative impact.

That's how gambling works and this is why one has to set a limit to what you can gamble with within a day, week or month base on your capacity. This isn't applicable to only online gambling alone but also include street card or dice gambling. The more you lose, the more you wish to play to recover for your loses. Also the more you win, the more you play believing you can make more.


Basically, gambling has a system to determine a gambler's win and loss and from this system the gambler must always maintain his awareness when he wants to place a bet, by looking at the limits of our ability to place a bet, of course this also greatly influences whether we gamble. excessive or not.
And keep in mind that we cannot ask for this system, but we as gamblers must be able to accept what the system will issue.

A good idea, it is an algorithm that is applied to gambling systems especially in some types of gambling that are purely based on luck such as slot machines for example, where bets are randomized to determine who will be the winner and who will lose in that session, and with this it is clear that whatever method you use such as a strategy or some pattern that you believe in, it will actually have no effect at all and has nothing to do with increasing the chances of getting a win. Everything is set up in such a way by the casino and overall they set up that the winning percentage is much more difficult than losing.

This is the reason why many people say that losses are always more frequent than occasional wins, obviously because the system is designed to benefit the house and maybe the gambler only gets a few wins which is actually the purpose of the casino providing the winnings is nothing but to attract gamblers to return to betting which many even overdo it. Therefore as you suggest that it is best to gamble in moderation, reasonably and to the best of your ability, due to the fact that you will never know when you can win and it is better to pay attention and emphasize yourself to focus more on many precautions.

Sure, gambling can be exciting for a lot of folks. Including me. The chance of winning gives a rush. But we always gotta think - is the fun worth the harm it can cause? Gambling ain't a game like football with cheering crowds and it can hurt people badly, financially and psychologically. If you are not ready for that, you can always find safer ways to get your joy that don't put everything at stake.

I think gambling will really be fun for someone who understands the real concept of gambling, understanding the possible risks and what is meant by winning chances in gambling is an action that must be emphasized more and is a mindset and understanding that must be had to become a healthy gambler. Because most of the gamblers really can't feel the fun that is meant, and it is not uncommon for them to claim unilaterally that gambling is a place to earn.

That is typical of gamblers who do not see rationally and from various sides from the beginning of their involvement which ultimately makes them fall on the wrong path. On the other hand, it is sometimes possible for fun to turn into stress and strain when you get out of control, meaning that it is important for a gambler to always apply firmness to his consciousness to identify such situations which stop when gambling is no longer fun for you, because everything must be balanced between the money spent and the pleasure gained, or even yes as you suggest that it is better to switch to something else that is also fun but without the possibility of significant risk.

To be honest I have one friend who does play by always using certain patterns, he seems to have his own way of gambling and yes maybe that's natural because after all everyone has their own beliefs and beliefs even though basically it is a mindset that makes no sense if you are involved in a type of gambling that is pure luck. My prediction is that such people previously experienced success when trying to use patterns when gambling and at the same time the lucky coincidence came that eventually led them to victory.

The truth is that gambling is not that serious, especially if you play in a purely luck-based type of game, because actually whatever you do and what you believe in terms of ways to pursue victory actually has absolutely no effect at all, and the friend told by the OP has experienced that in the following days it ended up losing a lot even though he still used the same pattern or method as before. So we should really return to the real understanding based on the fact that there is no way that can lead you to victory other than luck which is always "coincidental".
