841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: February 25, 2024, 08:50:50 PM
Gamblers can switch from their best behavior to a worst behavior, when the losses are getting too many. The game is a type that would definitely make gamblers feel the pain of losing their money. But in situations where the gambler is no longer comfortable with his loved ones, he should look into visiting a therapist. As it's a sign of addiction. Problem gambling starts with too many symptoms and behavioral change. When neglected can escalate to a more difficult stage where it gets harder for the person to revive to his normal behavior. Consistent losses increase the problem, and the player won't stop at his first loss, instead the game continues till he exhausts his money, then the anger skyrockets. What could make anybody happy can swing the mood of the gambler. Hence, as gambler we all need to change the mode of our games, once the results are no longer favorable, the gambler can decide to reduce the amount of money he wagers and focus on observing the game.
There would really be an easy transition on which you do start on being a cool guy and ended up on being an impulsive and emotional guy on which we know that this is something that would really be that normal here on gambling space which these behavioral change is really that present or something that standard. This is the main reason on why gambling business is really that profitable because of these behavioral change. Whether we do like it or not with those business owners or investors do really love this kind of advantage with those people who are really that keeping on making deposits due to surge of emotions.

On the time that you do step your foot into this space then you should really be wary about those probable things that could happen, so that you will be able to make yourself
be prepared and wont really be that totally make yourself that being that too making those reactions. Gamble for fun and not to stress yourself because
this is where people do mess up their lives due to impulse actions.

I understand that from your perspective that the house benefits from many shortcomings of gamblers, which includes, behavioral change. Since the house is mainly on business, gamblers should focus on their health and not play over it, because health is wealth. A gambler can use all the money he's won in gambling for treating his problem gambling. As you said, we have to be careful not to be a victim of such problem, it's not a good way of gambling. Chasing losses, and mood swings only makes up feel bad about lots of things which shouldn't be a reason to be sad. Imagine being aggressive on a child, due to the fact we lost some money gambling. To be embarrassingly honest, it's a shame to be in a situation as such. The kid wouldn't forget that in a hurry, and it could affect them emotionally, as adults.

Those thoughts are from gamblers who don't have the main orientation needed before venturing into their gambling journey. Most newbies ended up gamblers because a friend made some wins through gambling. I was once in that shoe, luckily, it didn't last for a long time till I retraced my ways. Gambling has no certain method of winning, hence, nobody is advised to take it to the level of borrowing money to wager in casino. The player if he wins, will still return the money back to the loan shark. Such things level up the stress of the gambler, and some still go ahead to gamble more, to be able to earn a sustainable amount that'll cover for both the debt and settle their financial responsibilities. Gamblers need to follow a nice method that'll remove those embarrassing mindsets from their memory and focus on being a good gambler that wagers to learn and earn when the time comes.

True, most of it is the mindset of a gambler who doesn't really know what gambling is really about, they are just floating in uncertainty, and usually they come because they see something that looks very tempting that is successfully obtained by others or including some of their friends who are already familiar with gambling. The fact is that seeing something that is very tempting can cloud your consciousness which in the end you rule out other aspects or possibilities that are actually much more important and should not be ignored such as possible risks and they will only continue to gamble by putting very high hopes and beliefs with the assumption that "I can get a win like everyone else", they don't know that it's not as easy as they think which in the end it is clear that slowly they will only experience problems with their finances.

Yes it is certainly a very bad idea to gamble with borrowed money, I think people who do this are those who are too confident in winning which actually your belief has absolutely no effect on the results at the end of the session, nothing else can lead you to victory other than you are lucky. So the real fact and the conclusion is that gambling with borrowed money will only get you further into debt because you will only rotate in the cycle of borrowing to gamble and gambling with the intention / aim of getting a win to pay off the debt, this will only make your debt even bigger because no luck comes in a row.

Confidence could be a problem in the journey of any gambler, in the sense that, one shouldn't feel confident for something uncertain as gambling. To an extent of taking loan to clear a debt or just for gambling purposes. I've read multiple cases online about gamblers who ended up getting ill or affected mentally over the debts they took, to gamble. It's quite a wrong move for any player and shouldn't be a way of escaping debt or paying our loans. Some newbies are being moved by their peers, and don't make choices out of experience or a personal will, they gamble for the sake of others who has made reasonable profits via gambling. '

They forget that the wins are just for a short while, and if the winner isn't careful, he could lose them the same day. Depending on the type of game he plays. That's the essence of letting gamblers to be prepared knowledgeably to understand what they're venturing into before trying to wager money in gambling. Lack of information makes the gamblers to fail and deep down, they wish to win at all costs. Which pushes them to take loans, when all their funds have been exhausted.

I think it's very common for a new gambler to feel increased joy while gambling.
It first takes a little getting used to, but afterwards it's like your body might be asking for a fix.

If you feel like it's hard to control impulses, it might be a good idea to go off the site for a while. There's certainly no need to gamble every day. And if you do gamble without control or a budget preset then you might also run in financial trouble. Gambling really is enjoyable but should be limited.

I totally agree with you I'm not going to lie, I'll be quite excited while gambling, especially as a newbie, and I'll be making money as well. Gambling has its unique emotion when you win, but you can't feel happy when you lose. People like or love it when they obtain free money as a profit for a modest investment, therefore I don't think people always feel excited while gambling; it varies.

Involuntarily every gambler feels excited after winning some money from gambling and wouldn't stay happy if the losses begin to increase gradually. When gambling, and the funds are running dry really fast, I find myself in a mood that wasn't what I felt at the starting point of the game. However, the thoughts disappear the moment I stop gambling. So, to remain excited as a gambler, being able to know the right moment to end it for the day, can help in the reduction of anxiety. Because, if the game is continued the losses also follows up and increases more than the player expected. We are all looking out for a win, and lesser losses. Yet, the house keeps presenting losses, which shows how upset the gambler would feel, hence limiting the session and quitting for the day, helps a lot in gauging the excitement of a gambler.
844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: February 24, 2024, 01:34:11 PM
Having grudges for the streamer doesn't solve any problem for the gambler, because he, the player, wasn't taken by his hands to gamble like the streamer. Removing such thoughts can help the player relax his nerves and focus on wagering few amounts of money. Gambling is not meant for people who are on the search for quick profits. And that's the weak point the streamers are utilizing while promoting big wins on their platforms, with money sponsored by the casino. Nothing comes easy, but newbie gamblers think that money can be made easily via gambling. However, they end up finding out that their thoughts were wrong all along, instead of accepting the responsibility they end up blaming the streamer. Since they don't take it on themselves that it's their fault, they'll want to prove it by wagering more money to get their funds back immediately. Some also conclude that they must hit one max win before quitting gambling. Numerous self-determination that keeps gamblers to continue chasing losses.

Of course it will not change the situation, even if we gamble using the exact same steps as the streamers the results will not be the same, also with the defeat that makes our emotions peak and blame the streamer it will not have any effect. I agree with you, gambling is not intended for people to get profits quickly, there is no guarantee about it even though the streamer directs the steps to get a profitable victory it does not definitely guarantee. The number of people who are tempted by the promotions made by streamers is indeed the weakness of many people.

Even if you follow the directions or steps of the streamer, of course the end result will not be the same. And if you lose and then blame the streamer it is a futile way, just a waste of time. With the defeat that occurs it should be accepted, not making an issue of it is the right way. There are indeed people who require themselves to get memories before quitting but that in my opinion should not be done, because it is the same as forcing themselves to win, while the fact of gambling will only give defeat. It's true what you said about chasing losses, by forcing themselves I think they are only chasing losses not wins.

It was a trend, that has subsided, and at the start of it, most people thought that the streaming niche will be affected by their complaints. But on the long go, the naive gamblers remain at fault for not doing their research and following the gambling ways of the streamers. Lots of rumors about the streamers result being manipulated by the casino, but none of their followers would listen to that, and they go ahead to gamble like the streamers, which they end up disappointed. Personally, don't know how true the rumor is, but earlier, streamers were getting more wins than a usual gambler gets in a session.

Recently it seems things changed, streamer now lose, but wager quite a huge amount of money. And puts the newbies at risk of wagering like the streamers. Who gets affected? the newbies because the streamers are only doing their jobs. Hence, gamblers who have little amount of money to spare, shouldn't go above their limit, because some other people are wagering huge amount of money. And we all know how big their wins would look like, if they end up winning. That's another reason why newbies end up betting like the streamers.

Agree with your opinion, if we as gamblers when we lose are happy to accept it then we are wise gamblers because it is not easy for a gambler to just accept defeat, most of them will get angry and express their emotional feelings by gambling continuously. continuously in order to take revenge for the defeat he experienced.
And if you have thoughts like what you said, namely, if you lose, you should stop and not think about how to recover the losses that have occurred, then this is one of the correct self-control steps, if done well it will happen. . Hopefully it will be useful for us in the future.
Yeah, we should accept our loss and try to a wise gambler. We can avoid continue gambling because that can increase our loss and our emotion can also increase. Many gamblers experienced that so we must prevent it before we regret it. Gambling for fun will be better than gambling for financial benefit because we know that gambling will not gives much winning to us and even we can loss much money. We don't have to think about recovering our loss because that will not easy and we can loss more money. However, we must have self-control to hold our emotion increase and only used gambling for fun.

Being able to accept the responsibility that the lost money isn't going to come back soon, helps a gambler not to go for the lost money. Instead, it makes the gambler to observe closely on the game and begin to enjoy the process. As he'd win some time while on the game. Chasing on the lost money is like panic gambling, where the gambler doesn't possess any control over his actions. Gambling for fun is way too better than going for money. Why then do gamblers have a job or business? The casino is a place of fun and engagement, communicating with other gamblers in the vicinity. Some try to talk to us about their strategies or where we are getting it wrong in the game. Players who tend to revenge like Zuzie said, are not quite good gamblers. And they end up very sad and upset over gambling. Most of them brought the bad publicity moving around the society on gambling. Although the responsible players still exist, but the society now tag everyone as addicted due to the bad act of those who have the intention of taking revenge on the house. As if it's a world fight.
846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recovering gambling addict stories on: February 24, 2024, 01:01:15 PM
Every kind of addiction will affect us mentally, physically, and financially so don't just draw the line only under gambling. I may have seen videos of such kind but I don't remember any of it because it doesn't really relates to me and I know how hard to recovery from any addiction from my personal expereince (not gambling).

Addictions works almost similarly, regardless of where the problem is emerging from, most gamblers who got addicted weren't just careless, some happened to be responsible, at the end of the process they became addicted. Meaning that whenever, we engage into any activity that has some form of addicting vibe, we have to be careful about it and not run short of staying responsible in the game. We always have things we love doing, until we can't control the reason why we started doing those things. Hence, addiction sets in and the trouble continues to torment the victim, mentally, financially, and many other ways. It's not simple to escape addiction, due to the fact that we tend to enjoy those activities, which kept us addicted.
The addiction thing is really bad at the beginning of something there is no addiction it depends on the control power of the person. Doing something constantly will eventually become an addiction. Many careless people can't quit gambling despite the money and odds. Despite many attempts to stay away from gambling addiction many people end up not being able to stay away from gambling. It's like drug addiction. Betting is fun to be caught occasionally and addiction is less likely if you are careful.

Like drug addiction, nobody who takes substances that's strong enough or immune to getting addicted. Gamblers who are not careful about dealing with gambling will almost get into problem gambling. It's hard to escape gambling addiction alone, they need to open up to people around them that they're facing lots of trouble in their gambling activities. However, when a person practices something all the time, they can still control themselves to an extent and avoid getting addicted. That's why gamblers are advised to take a break or vacation after a while of engaging into a nonstop gambling session. Playing for fun still counts as the best form of gambling, but nobody is ready to be happy when they go home with no money left on them, hence gambling for fun requires that the gambler doesn't wager lots of money that will get him angry if he doesn't win.

In my perspective who want to enjoy money and pleasure in gambling have one motive and those who prioritise only money have another motive. There are many people in the gambling world who consider gambling as a source of income. There are very few people who operate gambling successfully out there. Professional gamblers are different from regular gamblers. For ordinary gamblers I think gambling can be nothing but a source of pleasure. Whenever we visualise gambling in a different dimension, we will suffer there. But if the amount of money we use in gambling within the control of a gambler then gambling can be enjoyable anytime.
Each gamblers will have their own motive and every people free to decide what is the motive they have. But they need to understand about the risk behind of that motive because many people doesn't want to know the risk and chasing the excitement of playing gambling. They use gambling to make money as a job they do but that is wrong if they thinks like that. They will only chase the winning without thinking that gambling is not a place to make money. Only a few people who can successful from gambling but they don't tell many people how they can do that. For ordinary gamblers, it's better they use gambling as a source of pleasure so they don't have an intention to chase the winning. They will control themselves while playing gambling because they know that is the only chance to avoid addicted to gambling.

Gamblers who see gambling as a side hustle are into a big mistake and would need to remove such mentally from their memory, not to fall victim to a bigger trouble. It's been made clear that the house takes most of the money, and gamblers are just being given few percentages of what they wager. Hence those who are experts or professionals that make money through gambling like it's a career, planned it all the way to the end. The process is not a one-day thing, and the professionals have lots of money to finance their gambling habit. That is, they have calculated the house edge and observed how much they need on their bankroll to venture into a long-term gambling without running out of money. When they are done calculating it, their money mixes with the wins from the casino, such that they'll never go broke in the process and most of them belong to comp clubs, with facilitates the winning process for them, by offering them points to use for food and hotel bills.
848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: February 24, 2024, 12:33:11 PM
Even if you are someone who can control your emotions, it will not give you bigger chance of earning money from gambling. The ability to control emotion is good to help you in managing your gambling habit, but it will not help you to make/earn money because gambling is mostly about luck. Emotion has nothing to do with our luck, there are even some lucky people won big when they are angry while gambling, when they are frustrated, etc. Of course, having good emotion control is better as it will help you to avoid something worst like losing big or addiction.

Good point, I mentioned that in a previous response, and it's clear, maybe the writer wasn't aware of this, but to some extent we'd have to know his meaning behind the statement, or the context of the write up. Because if the lack of emotional control affects the player to lose, then self-controlling the emotions can help reduce the rate of losses for the gambler, thereby resulting to winning, I mean, if a person isn't losing too much, he'd be having a ton of wins, even if it's not from the game. A saved money is an earned money. Isn't it right? But in your context and reasoning you are completely right, yet it's fine to gain a different thought over everything we come across.
849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: February 24, 2024, 12:24:03 PM
obviously we should need to be careful during gambling and should take this thing as entertaining and never set gambling as main source of income. Otherwise when anyone keep losing in gambling, he'll start gambling more to recovery and that time losing possibility will increase cause mind won't work perfectly that time and so people took wrong decision while roll over or bet. Even thus such thing could makes people addicted in Gambling which will be difficult to cure soon. gamblers should have a specific strategy as op said and should stop when they are losing too much continuesly, cause need to have some discipline which should be followed for self welfare

Playing under pressure to recover from loss is a bad idea and should be stopped. When once a gambler puts his emotions in front of his knowledge, things go wrong because you will eventually make the wrong decision. gamble is not a game were you relief your self from stress or clear your mind. The best time to gamble is when you are feeling ok and a bit of excitement, then you can catch the fun in gambling.  There is a saying that, we shouldn't make drastic decisions when we are angry because it could end up affecting our life. Gambling when going through a psychological trauma is dangerous to our financial health.

Gamblers are made up of many strategic plans per player. It's like soccer, when the game is not playing as planned everyone gets pressured. I know of a method shared in the forum, where the player expects to win at least 3 times in 10 wagers. Imagine working with this type of method, and the win doesn't come after wagering 10 times. The impulses on the gambler wouldn't let him stop. He'd try to go for the second ten, hoping to get all his funds back on the second run. Same applies to every other gambling method, and most times, if it's all about winning, instead of limitations, the gambler is mainly going to get into pressure. Thereby losing out lots of his money. Because whatever we do under pressure, especially in gambling, doesn't end up fine. Hence, gamblers are required to gamble carefully, as Op said. And watch out for their spending habit, not to get into debt.
850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: February 24, 2024, 12:08:45 PM
~snip~
I see people place much hope on prediction sites but I see those stuffs as deceit though I have falling do this through my friend, he selected a slip from one of those reduction sites and it worked for him just once, so he continued but couldn't win again, so later introduced me to the site but couldn't tell me that it is only once that he win from the site, I fall to this trap because it was my early stage of being involved in gambling, I lost severally, one day I stopped and removed the site from my browser, from that day I realised that no matter how you think that their are specialist in selection, every one has the ability to do so but it all depends on luck.   

It's simple to detect that the people who patronize their services also get addicted to buying those predictions. Because they have won money through the method, hence they'll never back off, regardless of the increase in losses. Like your friend, he's into buying those games, and is now lazy to run his analysis and predict games himself. However, the goal is to win, but when a player isn't winning for five consecutive time, he shouldn't continue with the site, as they're just collecting money for nothing. They are not doing a great job with the predictions. Those who still use the site despite losing consistently, are into problem gambling and addicted to buying games. I think your friend needs some help to get over his troubles. As he's not doing that with his clear conscious. I understand how it works, the need to use them arises as a second and third chance. Just like yourself, who tried them a few more times.
851  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: February 24, 2024, 11:59:29 AM

Beginners luck is something that would really be strongly be able to influence you to play even more and this is something that you should really be that careful on this case because if you wont
then you are really that putting yourself on possible addiction. Usually noobs would really be creating that kind of beliefs and hopes into his mind that he's really that making easy money
with gambling but once that reality would slap into your face then you would really be having those realizations that it is really that not possible on having this kind of approach on things.
This is why it would really be that best that you should really know on what you are doing and dont let yourself get easily be hooked up by too much greed.

Both the luck achieved by beginners and experienced gamblers will make us easily influenced by what they get.
And novice gamblers are usually very ambitious in pursuing victory, and one day the novice gambler experiences defeat over time and then he realizes that he has made a mistake.
And I agree with you as a gambler, you should try as much as possible not to be greedy when in the casino, whether winning or losing will happen and we have to be able to accept it.

A newbie gambler who has won money wouldn't stop gambling easily. The gambling speed increases the moment they're made aware that the luck is in them, which makes the gambler certain he's able to win big someday. I think the casino purposely does this to keep the newbies on the trap of gambling for a longer period. Gamblers will definitely win, provided they keep on gambling. So, the wins are the reason everyone still gambles, and not everyone is contented with their winning result. Which circles back to greed and the meaning behind the chasing of loss. However, that doesn't make up for the purpose why a gambler should keep his habit a secret. Because if a player is struggling with self-control, he'd one day get into trouble, those who are aware of his habit are the best first aid for him. Hence, concealing the gambling habit, can only make the player suffer in times of trouble or danger. As nobody will know he's undergoing too many pains or understand why his behavior changed recently.

It's not simple to escape addiction, due to the fact that we tend to enjoy those activities, which kept us addicted.

Well, we all just for fun and things will go smooth and fun as well but one who doesn't keep things under limits will fall into addiction of kind that we only understand how deep we are into the shit when it's become too late. In gambling people who desperate to make money also gets addicted and there are people who wanted to distract themselves from addicted and many more people but the worst of all is, this can affect us financially first then things will escalate to family/relationship and if they are not supportive then it will broke the bonding and we just do it hard to forget the emotional damage that they are going through.

Unfortunately, if the family of the gambler neglects him, that will be terribly bad and could affect his future behavior, after recovery. Because an addict needs love and care to get cured of his problem gambling. What is most important is the need to stay away from consistent gambling. Players own the responsibility of remaining responsible in gambling, but along the line forget about the pains of addiction and go astray. As a gambler, reminding oneself of the struggle addicts are undergoing, is enough to make us stick to the plan of being responsible in gambling. Compulsive gambling has never helped to improve the profits of any gambler. Why then do players tend to play or wager more than they're able to lose. It's painful and leads to anxiety which is the reason most gamblers are not able withstand the struggle, as it starts really strong on the player. The person realizes he's addicted really late, when it has eaten deep into his memory and bank account.

Controlling ourselves is important, it should be done before, during and after the gambling session to be better.
Some people may have good control before start but it may change completely during or after gambling so it can lead into something unexpected.


This is the most important thing that needs to be remember by other people who really wants to engage in gambling activities, It's quite difficult to do since even if we really want to control ourself, It's kinda hard to apply in action. Many gamblers does know how to control theirself but once they experience different things in gambling, just like winning big amount, there is a change because their greed that they tried to suppress from the beginning is starting. It is difficult to explain why it reaches that point because it is about our mind decision.only medical professionals can properly explain why this is happening to us.


No need involving medical professionals on this, it's natural with the spending habit of human. The richer a person gets the higher his expenses, and how he spends money. That's same with gambling. When a gambler hits a certain significant amount of money, that makes him feel like a high roller, he wouldn't wager like a low roller anymore. The self-control disappears at this point. I think gamblers at some point would need help with managing money. Especially with people who are not strongly backed with the knowledge of money management skill. Everyone has an atom of greed in them, that's why many still fall for Ponzi schemes, hence in gambling a player who has won enough money, definitely doesn't get satisfied and may need to wager away his money for more profits. 
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: February 23, 2024, 08:49:05 AM
Mind control and emotional intelligence is required in gambling. The issue with gambling and gamblers is that it's freely made, anyone, anywhere will participate in gambling. Few people will only develop the urge to understand it better, while many others would focus on the funds. Playing without any experience on ways they could control their behavior. And stay clear from problem gambling. So, it's crucial for gamblers to learn from the mistakes of others and implement strategies that would help them not be in some ill problems with law enforcement agencies. Gambling was not created for players to commit problems in the society. Although it takes a large share of the blame, but the gambler knows he was careless about his moves and strategies. Instead of building up such bad records on gambling, it's better for newbie gamblers to focus on learning better how they could be good, responsible gamblers.
Playing gambling without any experience or not wanting to learn what is needed when playing gambling can put you at greater risk of losing money. Many people have experienced it so we don't need to try it because it will only make us lose even more money. We must not be careless in using our money and must always limit our money for gambling. Otherwise, we will only regret it when we see that all the money has been lost on the gambling table while we cannot recover the losses we have experienced. And instead of us also experiencing other big problems where we can become addicted to gambling because we don't have self-control, it's better that from now on, we have to learn better so that we can control ourselves when gambling. We must be able to understand that gambling is just entertainment, and there is no need to take it too seriously. We must always know that we have boundaries that must not be violated. That can prevent us from gambling excessively and can also prevent us from bigger problems where we can experience gambling addiction.

The journey for every gambler is quite different. Those who wish to have a safe experience need to back it up with some knowledge of what they're doing. It's not a thing of competition, but a self-game against our thoughts and brain. Gamblers have nothing to bother about the house. Instead, reverse remains the case for most gamblers, they end up trying to defeat the house. Not every gambler has this type of orientation. Hence, they end up going through the harsh route of gambling, putting themselves into hardship. What matters is to enjoy the process and wager what we are able to lose. If not, I don't understand any other reason why a gambler shouldn't mind his funds and stay careful about how he wagers it.

Many are in a hurry to hit it big. While some are for the fun and learning critical techniques, others have the intention of stopping after a huge win, and many others who have their individual reasons of playing gambling. That's why it'll be hard to control the attitude of the numerous gamblers in the world. Millions don't have the backup knowledge of the need to be a responsible gambler. Nothing can be done about that, it's an individual journey. And no gambler is clean. Any player can be a victim. So, the safety routine should be practiced on daily basis. Gamblers shouldn't think that they're good and can't get into problem gambling, that could be a big lie. The whole time we gamble, we need to respect the rules and manage our bank roll.

Every player who started a session should be able to know how to end it, if not the session will help him put it to an end when his funds get exhausted. Waiting for our funds to elapse before we rest isn't a good gambling practice. Being able to control the bank roll is crucial for every gambler. Speaking of cross addiction in gambling, it's a better method of escaping problem gambling, but it's not simple to achieve especially in gambling. A gambler has multiple reasons not to avoid gambling. His money is there, and the brain has been accustomed to gambling most of the time. Hence, staying in touch with people who can help the player divert his attention, also works fine for the gambler. Trying to achieve it all alone, is not conducive for the gambler's health, he could get lost in the process and wouldn't realize what he's suffering from. It's like a gravity, the addict need another force to distract the body from engaging into gambling again.

With someone's help who really showing care about the person they both might find a good alternative to prevent playing back or to prevent in keep participating in any types of gambling, It's an idea where the person who are engage into gambling can find a good way to divert his attention, though it's not an easy task to someone who already have that addiction inside but if there's still a self-will which can be use if there's a corresponding help that can be provided.

Keep in mind that there's always a way to stop if you are really keen and you are really aiming to achieve in moving away from gambling.

The best aspect of therapy is interpersonal relationship. A gambler who meets a close friend for help, will easily listen to the person and adapt to a new lifestyle. More like a peer pressure or influence. It's crucial for a gambler to trace back to those people whom he had good relationship with, and they'll help him laugh out his pains, by telling him old stories, and reminding him of his personality as a younger person in life. Those memories help to recuperate the brain and puts the player to thoughts, and rethink about himself. Asking himself questions like why he's changed really quick.

The only strong barrier is that the gambler will not realize meeting his old time or childhood friends can help him. Gambling addiction convinces the victim that nobody can help him not even the therapist. They tend to resist any form of help. The healing only starts when the addict decides to change, then his senses can direct him to a therapist or a friend who is willing to help him out of the trouble. One good thing, they are people, genuine, who are indeed ready to help a friend or family member out of their struggle. They are always right there by the corner, receiving lots of resistance from the victim, but they keep persisting, until the addict gives in that he actually needs help and is in a huge trouble.

The most realistic house edge is around 98% the gambler takes only 2% of his wagered money. Casinos generates lots of money across the world, and the players are just given a tip of the iceberg. That's the game, and the players need to stay prepared not to lose much to the casino. Players who want to win more than the casino, fetches most of the money for the casino. Thereby, helping the business to move for more people to participate. However, gamblers are not expected to go for the money, since they are aware of how casinos operate.

Every kind of addiction will affect us mentally, physically, and financially so don't just draw the line only under gambling. I may have seen videos of such kind but I don't remember any of it because it doesn't really relates to me and I know how hard to recovery from any addiction from my personal expereince (not gambling).

Addictions works almost similarly, regardless of where the problem is emerging from, most gamblers who got addicted weren't just careless, some happened to be responsible, at the end of the process they became addicted. Meaning that whenever, we engage into any activity that has some form of addicting vibe, we have to be careful about it and not run short of staying responsible in the game. We always have things we love doing, until we can't control the reason why we started doing those things. Hence, addiction sets in and the trouble continues to torment the victim, mentally, financially, and many other ways. It's not simple to escape addiction, due to the fact that we tend to enjoy those activities, which kept us addicted.

Such experts only need more publicity to reach out to more naive and curious gamblers who are seeking to make money by all method or strategy. The fastest way of getting a naive gambler's money is telling him that you've got correct predictions that could yield him more money. Those experts who do this, definitely wouldn't run out of such gamblers, it's a broad niche and can't end anytime soon. Because more people keep joining and those who has been into the trap of such experts, still keep on trying to find the best person to purchase their predictions. Gamblers only need to focus on their own predictions, and feel happy whenever it works out great, and add more money to their bank roll. No meaningful profits can be made by reaching out to unreliable experts to get predictions for an unpredictable game.

I have always made something clear in my points of view, for me people who are dedicated to games of chance and who for me are professionals will be professionals if and only if they handle money figures of $1M in adulthood, whether in the casinos. or in sports betting, but let's see the logic of this, the predictions have to be in derpotvia bets, for me they believe in a "professional" of this, he has to make the bets that he sends to his group and bet heavily, however, on see if he really wins or not, then he does win, and he has a success level above 85% for me, well, I could believe that person, but yes, he has to show me his mistakes, wins and losses, not show today and another tomorrow, no, the professional has to place his bets and his signals show that he is serious, because right now there are many liars and scammers out there, on telegram there are many, that's how As much as the traders who give their signals, yes I They show their balance all the time of profits and losses, that is when we verify if they are real or not.

It is very easy to get audiences and a community quickly with all the marketing strategies that exist, whether paid or not, but there are ways to get fake Insurance that makes a Difference in what they show out there, that is why I am always I'm very Delicate about these things, in fact there are some that give trading Signals like sports betting and the entry is free , to sweeten the Clients and then when they give some or other signals they demand payments, so that doesn't make sense to me , because I have seen that they live off of those Monthly payments of theirs , so I don't understand it, if they live off of trading or sports bets then they have to be very emphatic with that and always give proof, in fact they do have a lot of live betting better and that they make lives with this type of things to demonstrate that they are actually Transparent , but what I Demand so far no one does it, or well at least I don't know them.

What you want is quite hard to get, most of the people running such business are con artists, only few are genuine, and they need to be on top dollars to be giving out accurate prediction. I also understand the niche to be some collection of chains of providers from the genuine down to the least that most gamblers can afford. Because a lot of money is going into the business, and it's been forwarded to the people at the top. Getting to the right chain can be difficult, but it exists. However, gambling remains what it is, one can't expect constant wins from this method, despite following the right people. Showing you their mistakes and statistics, can be strange to them, because of how connected they are, most of them may not be playing those games, instead they focus on advertising their channels to be able to generate more money to advance into a better chain of the business. And, as I said, getting to the main source of this prediction group is quite difficult, they are the only people who provide the things you need. The people on telegram, most, don't follow such routines, they come up with any prediction that hits their memory, and also find a way to defend their mistakes, the channel members have no option than to try again on the next game.

People can never enjoy financial benefits from gambling. It can be fun if you bet with your friends all of a sudden but when you bet with a lot of money and do it regularly it becomes no fun anymore. Those who get idea about gambling gamble for fun in the initial stage and when they win gambling they gamble regularly and become addicted. There are also people who want to become financially independent from gambling, which makes them gamble regularly, which may be a mistake for them because gambling can never become financially independent.
I agree it's really stupid to think of financial benefits from gambling there is no guarantee that you will make money from it. Chasing money will become an addiction. Many people lose control of their lives while gambling and their entire lives are filled with problems because of this behavior. Leaving all the important activities of life they only look for gambling opportunities and immerse themselves in gambling. Should be played through fun if fun don't worry about any financial loss.

Gamblers face too many challenges during any gambling session. Many therapists have mentioned that no gambler is immune to addiction, due to the constant change or challenges coming up while gambling, hence we all need to forget about chasing money or seeing gambling as a venture for financial freedom. Nothing is wrong in being a moderate gambler. The point of earning huge amount of money from gambling moves around the brain of any player who has been into gambling for a long period of years. This thought is generated from the common issues people have with gambling, loss of money. Was discussing with a friend and he mentioned that he is going to win huge amount of money some day through gambling. I didn't say a word, because it's achievable, but when, and how long would it take? that is not certain. So, what keeps lots of gamblers in the game is the big win day. That thought removes the need to safeguard their fundings, they wager too hard just to hit the jackpot, forgetting that the funds belong to the house.

These guys aren't really doing themselves a favor. They are just bringing themselves closer to a lot of losses financially. Better to gamble sane and with full focus and knowledge of what you're doing rather than letting drugs or drowsiness take control of your logic and decision making. I really don't understand the rationale behind using drugs or alcohol to fuel some activities. They're just foregoing their control to some chemicals luring them into the false sense of being invincible.
I think gambling is permissible if their financial condition is good and they can earn a very large amount. Gambling can be used as a place to find entertainment or relieve fatigue from daily work, but you need to know, don't be too addicted in gambling places and you have to take care not to addicted to gambling places because it has the potential to quickly use up all the money you have.

Gambling in such a condition only worsens the rate the gambler loses his money during his gambling session. One can't stand the pressure of gambling while high on alcohol, I've seen TikTok videos of a woman that lost lots of dollars in gambling, because she was drunk. Imagine the casino also provides drinks to gamblers, but it's quite a thing of self-control. A gambler shouldn't take up all the alcohol in the house just to gamble. The stress to think and make good decision will be much, and the person will wager carelessly and recklessly. However, since no player has ever achieved a big win through wagering on the influence of alcohol, other players need to look into their mood of participating in gambling. It's a game of calculation and prediction, playing without our self-consciousness, intact, the player will end up in dip trouble when the alcohol clears off his memory. The person needs to work on two huge troubles, alcohol and gambling addiction. That will be a whole big fight for freedom. Because when a player can't avoid gambling while high on alcohol, his problem gambling will be tremendously hard to cure.
