901  Other / Off-topic / Re: Before you start gambling, do some research first on: February 23, 2024, 07:22:06 PM

When individuals become addicted to gambling, they often fail to recognize the detrimental effects it has on their lives. Even if they experience a day where they lose everything they possess through gambling, they may not fully comprehend the severity of their situation. Some individuals may acknowledge their mistakes after a period of reflection, but they quickly forget the pain and resume gambling because they hold onto the hope of winning big.

Consequently, they find it difficult to relinquish their addiction to gambling, disregarding valuable advice from those who try to help them overcome it. This cycle perpetuates their gambling behavior as they continue to chase the thrill of winning, despite the negative consequences it brings. Thus, breaking free from the grip of gambling addiction requires not only recognizing its harmful effects but also accepting the need for change and seeking support to overcome it.

They would really be only recognizing it out on the time that they would really be experiencing some hardships and those negative effects on which they could actually be able to avoid it
if they are really just that serious or sensible on dealing with it. This is why people do usually messes up because they are really making themselves that too delusional because if you do
mind about becoming rich with gambling easily, instead on making it happen you would really be rather be making yourself getting poor. Doesnt really need up any research when it comes to this
because it is really just that impossible that someone cant really be able to make themselves be wary on what they are doing.

Yes usually someone will realize their mistake when they are already in a situation of regret due to a situation full of bad effects of wrong gambling, actually yes they can avoid some of these negative effects if only at first they have the right and recommended approach to gambling, but unfortunately it is very difficult to have a good and recommended approach if they basically do not understand what gambling is really about, and most gamblers always have a goal to earn, they think that winning is easy to get when it is just an illusion that comes out of the brain due to the hope they put on the chances of winning.

It is a fact that if you gamble with the aim of earning then obviously in the end you will actually lose money as you said here and it's true, we can see that don't addicts even suffer a lot of problems in their lives? Of course, that means gambling can't make you rich, because after all it's not easy to always be able to get a lucky streak, and in addition there is no certainty to really always earn. The truth is that you can recover from addiction if you are basically able to achieve awareness and are willing to make changes, but few people are able to do so.

True, because no matter how bad a child's personality is, it is still entirely our responsibility as parents and only we can change and direct it in a better direction, however you or we must be able to change it in any way that seems reasonable and influential enough, but if in the end they still do the same action in the sense of stealing, it means that there is a mistake that you did in terms of educating them. But on the other hand I think we should be able to educate and change them because usually parents have enough formulas to overcome some personality problems that a child has. On the other hand, the fear and the thing to worry about is when they are adults, because obviously if it is not changed immediately from now on then most likely they will be bolder to do crazier and worse actions when they grow up and their actions will not only harm them but also their closest family.
Parents duties and responsibilities is not easy in educating their children because parents responsible to their children when their children grow up. Parents should follow their children and find a way to besides them and bring their children to the right way. We can tell them about the right and wrong thing and if they make mistakes, we can give a little punishment to them as a reminder. We don't have to be strict to them as that can make their children rebel and don't like what their parents say. With always remind them about the things they do and treat them as a friend, our children will not trying to do something that can harm themselves and will not do anything bad. While the children are still not mature, parents can teach and give good education to them so they will always remember what their parents suggest. If we can responsible to our child, we will see they grow up without doing something bad or harm themselves.

As difficult as it is in terms of educating children, it is still the obligation and full responsibility of both parents regardless of the situation and no matter how bad your child's personality is, basically there are children who are easy to advise and there are children who are stubborn and cannot be directed, I understand this matter but for this problem I think parents are fully familiar with the personality of their children and I am sure that parents will definitely have the right formula to overcome problems like this with the aim of changing and directing them in a better direction.

If indeed they can still be advised slowly then maybe it's not too difficult but there are also children who are very hard to and that means you need firmness in terms of advising them and also like you said that there must be actions taken by parents at least to bully them and maybe with some other punishments that can make them deterrent and promise to change. I understand that a stubborn and sensitive child may rebel but isn't this an effective way to do it if basically the advice slowly and gently still cannot traumatize them? Sure, but on the other hand I don't think it will be that difficult and complicated to direct a child who is still underage because they are still living with their parents or meaning that they are still dependent on their parents so there are many situations together that have the potential to facilitate and accelerate the process of changing a child.
903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: February 23, 2024, 05:14:41 PM
Under 18 years of age are still considered unstable, they are not very interested in gambling, on average they still rely on pocket money from their parents and do not think about being able to earn money even from gambling.  Young people certainly spend more time playing, one of which is choosing online games that they can play together with their friends.  The existence of 18+ regulations on gambling sites is of course very appropriate to be implemented by the law and the gambling site itself, because the maturity of thinking of adults is on average over 18 years and above.
There are some under 18 years children are very intelligent in gambling stuff and they playing gamble which I have seen many in my location. And those are the ones stole from their parents wallets and purses because him they are not working at that age to earn money though not all that are idle some did daily labourer jobs to fetch money to pay some personal bills. And gamble with it. And most of the under age gambling comes from watching football because in that process they are seen their elderly ones betting with the football and they would like to test it and that is the caused of the under age gambling.

Honestly I have never seen a situation like this especially in the area where I live, I understand that now gambling is increasingly widespread in society especially the type of online gambling that is very easy to access and I will not exclude that most young people to the elderly are involved in gambling in my area, but for a child who is under 18 years old I have never seen it. From your case I think I can conclude that most of the minors in your place are influenced by the environment and I understand that this kind of situation is quite difficult to avoid completely. But your situation is different from my area where as I said above I have never seen minors gambling, most of them are involved in some kind of online game, and one of the differences may be that in your area the community is not too concerned about gambling activities, This means that it seems that some elderly gamblers in your place are gambling openly and can be seen by anyone who is there so that indirectly when a child who is still underage sees it, it is very likely that they will follow the gambling done by adults, and maybe they will think that gambling is not a prohibited activity in your place, obviously this is dangerous.
904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money on: February 23, 2024, 04:44:32 PM

If every gambler thought like this then I'm sure they would be more responsible for playing several bets every week and we are used to spending small amounts of money without thinking about returns. But the problem is that gamblers don't think like that because they think they will benefit from winning and even though they consciously know that gambling is always closest to luck. Just a few views and not trying to blame or say gambling just has to be done responsibly, but I take more pleasure in seeing gambling activities.

I prefer this kind of gambling and spend a little money for fun, not to chase winnings every time I want to gamble. So that whatever happens psychologically we are not too disturbed and if people can make a portion like this in gambling then I am sure they will be much more responsible in the gambling they play.
Not only just this one because if gamblers or bettors used to be that responsible then we wont really be seeing too much platforms or businesses that would be seen as of today or simply this gambling industry wont really be that much big as of this day and this is something that we can be able to distinguish about their main difference as of this moment. Gambling should really be just that for fun and not for making money because these are businesses on which it is really that built for giving out leisure at the same time they are really that indeed making money due to gamblers greed and impulsive emotions on which it causes out for people to have that
mistakes which it is really that something that fueling them up with revenue. Yes, they arent intentional but rather they are really that having that advantageous approach when it comes to this because they are really that
trying out to take advantage without us seeing it.

One of the reasons why many irresponsible gamblers treat their gambling activities is because there is a chance of winning in gambling that is difficult for most people to ignore, and their actions have indirectly made some casinos decide to expand their business or build many branches to get bigger profits than irresponsible gamblers. It is very difficult to really convince most people that gambling is not a place to earn because someone will be able to justify any means just to be able to get money especially if they are in an urgent situation.

Yes enough I agree with you that one of the reasons why gambling is more recommended to be an entertainment activity, it is because behind the scenes it is a fact that this is big business for casinos, casinos hide behind "opportunities" to trick gamblers with the aim of making a profit, most gamblers are too sure of winning which ultimately makes them overreact. Logically there is no way you can make money in a place that basically only provides odds, because it is nothing more than a "possibility", meaning you will only be able to win when you are lucky.
905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recovering gambling addict stories on: February 23, 2024, 04:03:41 PM
Constantly gambling leads to addiction for addicted gamblers videos will not affect them. They will not believe that they are going to lose they will only be addicted to winning. He should have been warned in advance that he would feel pain when he saw the end. For those gamblers who are not addicted the video is good physically and mentally they will be prepared and alert to control themselves before becoming addicted will enjoy everything very easily.

Everything that is done in excess is always synonymous with a bad point of view, none other than because the results are more often disappointing and  especially if you do it in gambling, and gambling without having a time limit or other restrictions is an early signal for someone to end up in an addiction situation or even they are already in an addiction situation, I think one of the reasons why it is difficult for them to ignore the time not to gamble or take a break from gambling is because they have an excessive interest in this activity and one of them maybe they misunderstand what is meant by winning opportunities.

This misunderstanding often occurs and usually the more vulnerable are those beginners who come because they previously saw the victory that was achieved by others, and from this we can already conclude that their intention is to seek victory in gambling, but unfortunately they do not know the real facts in gambling which over time you will actually suffer a lot of losses and not victory because after all in gambling the percentage of defeat is always greater. For the problem of reminding yes it is good but the problem is not everyone can care about others especially paying attention and giving  advice to novice gamblers who have just come, and also on the other hand we never know about  when the initial phase of their involvement in gambling, so I think we can only help one of them because for this problem is out of our control.
906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: February 23, 2024, 03:05:05 PM
Yes because in gambling we should pay more attention to risk management such as setting limits in various aspects because of the possibility of losing that will not always be avoided completely, in terms of budget, putting the amount of 1% of the total income we get is indeed a good approach and recommended in gambling, this way will make you feel safe and will not lose balance in terms of finances and will not experience problems in your finances.

But on the other hand I think limiting the budget amount is still not enough to make you in a safe situation and away from bad possibilities in gambling, because limiting the budget tends to lead to minimizing the number of losses and the other thing I suggest is that we also have to limit the time of involvement because it's useless even if you put a small amount but in fact you do with more attempts then obviously the number of losses must also be quite large, and that's why limiting the time of involvement is also something that must be done because by limiting in terms of time then you will not experience an increase in interest in gambling which of course it is likely to make you more curious about gambling. I think don't be too concerned with satisfaction, because of course it can increase the amount of your budget, simply put even if you put a small amount like 5% but if it turns out to lose and you feel still not satisfied with the gambling session then it is possible for you to re-deposit money to continue the session.

limiting the allocation of funds to gambling would probably be good. but the most important thing is our consistency when we set these boundaries. Don't let us create these limits but we violate the limits ourselves.
I've experienced something like that. The situation occurred when I played an online casino accompanied by friends. it was a really fun weekend. There is a lot of time that can be spent in the casino and with the capital that I have limited, in the end, it doesn't provide satisfactory results for me.
There's indeed no need to force the satisfaction you're looking for, but sometimes we get advice from friends that can convince us to continue playing.

Yes as I said above that limiting the amount of budget along with putting consistency as you said is indeed a recommended approach in gambling and one of the reasons as I said above limiting the amount of budget will be able to make you avoid the possibility of losing large amounts, but still you can't rule out other suggestions as I said above that limiting the time to gamble also needs to be considered, try not to be too frequent and adjust to your finances.

I will add another suggestion that is no less important is to apply firmness to the plans that you have made, especially risk management, on the other hand from the incident you experienced it seems that you were carried away by the seriousness of the atmosphere that happened there, which I think is a natural thing, or I mean it is quite reasonable if you overdo it because when you gamble with friends the atmosphere will be more lively but this situation often makes someone forget the plans they have made before and this really happened to you where instead of stopping and resting but you continued the session and it was all none other than because of the influence of some of your friends.

Have you ever seen a max win on Sweet Bonanza or any other Pragmatic slot?

No, so far and as long as I have been a gambler I really have never seen the maximum winnings of the Sweat Bonanza type of game, I don't know what the actual max winnings of this game are because for myself and some friends in my neighborhood who are equally fond of slots they prefer types of games like Gates Of Olympus, Starlight Princess because on the other hand it is not as difficult as the Bonanza game in terms of getting the max win and also in addition I agree with some of my friends that Bonanza is a pretty boring game, although this type of game can make you longer in running sessions but it almost makes me sleepy because there is no sensation that really triggers adrenaline. You'll really feel the thrill when you see x100 - x500 dropping on your phone or laptop screen along with hearing the loud sound of the multiplication effect which really makes the atmosphere more exciting.

908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: February 22, 2024, 06:29:34 PM
The common reaction after realizing what your child did, I go to that fact that being a parent and having that guilt that you held responsible to whatever your kids are doing, they might start to steal from you and to whoever reside inside your house but  after that what's next the child can do? No matter what might be the outcome, there should be good disciplinary action to take.

Then, after you should start watching your child and start guiding them if you feel that what you are doing is ain't enough to straight their path, it's your obligation to adjust and to try all the possible ways to enlighten them to quit away from gambling, there's no good implication as they think that it's a good venue to quickly earn decent money.
It is our child who has stolen our money so we must be able to educate him better. We need to use a different approach to make him aware and show about what he did wrong thing and he won't do it again. He can ask for money from us as his parents so he doesn't have to steal money because if they do it until they are adults, they can be caught by the police and jailed. That will make difficult for them because when they are imprisoned, they will face a harsh reality that they have never seen and never imagined before. We need to straighten them so that they don't take the wrong path again and they can realize that stealing is a mistake and a bad act. Disciplining our children who have stolen is necessary to have a deterrent effect on them so they don't repeat the action again.

True, because no matter how bad a child's personality is, it is still entirely our responsibility as parents and only we can change and direct it in a better direction, however you or we must be able to change it in any way that seems reasonable and influential enough, but if in the end they still do the same action in the sense of stealing, it means that there is a mistake that you did in terms of educating them. But on the other hand I think we should be able to educate and change them because usually parents have enough formulas to overcome some personality problems that a child has.

909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 22, 2024, 05:33:39 PM
It was 100% guaranteed that Tuchel won't stay until the rest of the season. After their loss in Boch a blind guy would see that coming. It was only surprising that it didn't happen earlier this week.


Yes, I think so too, it seems that Tuchel will soon be replaced by another coach, because the defeat against Bochum yesterday made Munich look like a very bad club, they couldn't beat Bochum, which was actually easy for Munich to beat, I know that Tuchel has given his all, it's just that Maybe there are several players that Tuchel needs to complete the strategy he wants, because recently Munich has experienced three consecutive defeats in the domestic league and UCL.

Tuchel has been a failed coach for Munich this season, of course this cannot be separated from the fact that he has also made Munich qualify for the UCL so far, I don't know how long he will last there but it looks like it will only be until the end of this season, in next season it seems that Munich will have a new coach who will replace Tuchel so that they can dominate the Bundesliga again which they seem to have failed to achieve again this season, Leverkusen seems to have broken Munich's dominance this season in the Bundesliga and Munich must recognize the greatness of Leverkusen which so far has maintained its consistency with Good.

If Bayern Munich only loses against Leverkusen as happened in the previous few matches, maybe we will also think that it is not too surprising because it is clear from what  we see about how Leverkusen is now that it is enough to be the reason why Xabi Alonso's squad can beat Bayern Munich, but our point of view, especially Bayern Munich fans, will be different when the same situation occurs where they lose again even though they are against a team that is basically far from strong, meaning of course their defeat  against Bochum is a very bad and embarrassing result for the team Bayern Munich's class, and yes, it is true as you said that currently Bayern Munich is experiencing a bad situation in the two leagues they are currently playing.

On the other hand at the moment it is confirmed that Tuchel is experiencing a lot of tension with some pressure from the management, it is not that easy to manage a team as big as Bayern Munich and it seems to be a possible thing for Tuchel to finally give up with all this and finally decide to leave but for the time problem I really can't predict when it will happen. Now Leverkusen are 8 points ahead of Bayern Munich and I think although there are still a few games left until the end of the season to catch up with Leverkusen but I think the gap is far enough, because Leverkusen will definitely be even more crazy in defending the top of the table to realize their dreams and break the dominance of Bayern Munich, now Leverkusen are no longer a middle team like we saw last season, I think we agree on that.
910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: February 22, 2024, 05:02:14 PM
How to tell the difference between professional or a regular gambler if we talk about skill? In some games, when gamblers play against each other professional gambler might have some advantages over regular, but even then they wont be a guarantee that professional will always or more often win. In a game against casino, I think there is not much of an advantage. The game rules are identical to everyone. Luck is identical to everyone. And it does not require much to learn the rules. That is why there is no big difference if 18+ or 60+ is gambling, as long as they can afford it.

If the skills you are referring to are more about ways to win then maybe I wouldn't say that professional gamblers are superior to casual gamblers when it comes to winning, because for me professional gamblers are those who are able to control their gambling activities well and not gambling that controls them, In the sense that they are able to keep everything in a good balance because they have high flying hours in the world of gambling so that with long experience they can find out about some things that can be done and also what not to do in some situations, and of course this is more directed at risk management or precautions and not too directed at getting a win. And also on the other hand the casino always has the upper hand, or that means we can't beat the casino because they create games to benefit their side and not the gamblers, this is the reason why losses are more common than wins.

As you said, it does not mean that they are professional gamblers so they can be superior in terms of winning than ordinary gamblers, there is no difference because everyone has the same chances but the difference may be that not all gamblers are as lucky as one of them, meaning that gambling does not see someone in terms of their age for winning problems, anyone has the right to win because everyone has their own luck in life.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: February 22, 2024, 04:19:05 PM
If we are surrounded by people that truly love and care about us, the moment we make a wining that is high, what they should do is in advising us on how we can maintain and manage up the wining for our future sustainability and not how we are going to spend the money for our own personal use together with them all, and for the sake of the married among gamblers, their partner could give the very best idea in what they could invest with and have the money tied down on something profitable.

Yes but maybe we can only hope because there is no way we can force  the people around us to fully care about the things we do, but on the other hand we can do it to others, or that means we can advise or give some advice to people we know who are also gamblers by suggesting what you said which is telling them to cash  out rather than applying greed when they do win, Because on the other hand there is no other way than cashing out when you get a win because it is possible when you go further for something  bigger that the results are not suitable or lose.

So the point remains that you need to have a proper understanding of  gambling if you want to know when to continue and when to stop, with this kind of management  then I think you will really be able to enjoy real gambling where you can enjoy some of the winnings when you are lucky and you can also put some others to gamble in the next session, and on the other hand it is good advice to divert money from gambling winnings to other things that really have the potential  to grow the amount and value of your money such as the investment you suggested, this is a wise choice..
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: February 22, 2024, 03:47:54 PM
Yes, I agree with that, so far I haven't seen many children addicted to gambling, I think they have reasons not to become active gamblers there because their minds are not ready to earn their own money and are more focused on studying at school. That's probably why children they are not really addicted to gambling because they have nothing to pursue in gambling unless they really want to just have fun with their friends, so a child will not follow the behavior of their parents in gambling which is usually the case when parents gamble only to earn money to find additional necessities for life.

So that's why many adults are more addicted to gambling than children because I believe in their vision and mission of gambling at the beginning, if it's because of money they will usually easily get addicted to gambling, sometimes I often see neighborhood children playing slot gambling around the house. usually they just have fun with their friends and don't overdo it, let alone be addicted to gambling, occasionally I often see them playing while laughing and laughing at the gambling they do, they don't really take it seriously.

Your statement regarding why children tend to be less likely to have a gambling addiction makes a lot of sense and I agree with the reasons you gave here, it is true that a child will be more likely to like things that are fun and most of those things do not have an element of earning but rather lead to activities that will spend their playtime, a child's mind will not really be on "how to make money" because they don't really think about money and don't really know the importance of money in life, at that age there is nothing else they want other than just playing with some things they like, and different from adults who already have their own responsibilities to make money to make ends meet because they are no longer fully dependent on both parents.

We can conclude that the situation factor also has a big influence on a person, or that means the situation can be an impetus for someone to put the goal of making money in gambling, none other than this because of the need factor which basically cannot be tolerated, you have also said one of the things that will be on someone's mind is that they try to make gambling a place to increase their income and I believe in that. On the other hand I would say that it is quite unlikely for a child to know about gambling let alone become addicted to it because as we have discussed above their mindset is still not fully aware of the "value of money", but on the other hand I would say they can become addicted if there is basically someone forcing them to engage in gambling without limits.
913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money on: February 22, 2024, 03:17:35 PM
I see quite a lot of people who question this about why gambling should be done with the aim of having fun? This is gambling which is an activity that can stimulate the human brain and mind due to something that looks very tempting and when it turns out that the expected thing does not happen it is very likely to ultimately affect mentally and psychologically especially when someone is unable to account for his gambling activities or is unable to accept the fact of defeat at the end of the session, the reason? gambling does not have any certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session because this is a risk-taking activity which means that you will not be able to avoid losing.

This is the reason why gambling should not be used as a place to earn because of course if you want to earn then the place must have the certainty of being able to produce but on the other hand gambling does not have elements that can guarantee you to always win except just "coincidence", so Therefore, it is more advisable for anyone to gamble for fun, because then there will not be too much seriousness that you attach to this activity, rather you should make gambling a place to "fill your free time" when you are on holiday. working or not having other activities, and also because you are not serious, I am sure that you will not do things that are beyond your abilities, such as betting with large budgets. On the other hand we can find indications that gambling is no longer fun when we experience tension and worry and that means we will be able to find the point of our error and of course the point of error is that you have the wrong approach, so in essence the idea of gambling for "fun" is just to divert the mind we are from what is called "seriousness". There is no significant seriousness in seeking pleasure because you will only do it when you feel like it, but it is very possible for you to gamble "without limits" when you set a goal to earn because basically everyone needs/wants money.
914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recovering gambling addict stories on: February 22, 2024, 02:47:32 PM
If we are not being careful, gambling can take away everything we have and before we realized that, we might have seen that all is gone already, some people can go to the extent of taking loan to gamble, while some may sell off their own property and investment just because they wanted to gamble, the last categories are those that are making little earnings from what they do and still couldn't afford to make some savings than gambling with the whole earnings, all these are bad habits in gambling.

Yes and that means that it is we who must control gambling activities and not gambling that controls us, and this is what gambling addicts experience where they allow themselves to be controlled by gambling activities which ultimately make them experience many problems and downturns. Applying caution and vigilance is a preparation that everyone must have for the sake of prevention, not only that we must also be able to limit everything related to gambling such as the allocation of the amount of budget along with limiting the time to gamble, because by taking all actions that lead to prevention, you will be a little avoided from the possibility of addiction which of course can make you end up with many problems in life. So after all, we must really be able to control gambling activities and not gambling that controls us, because you have also said here that when we have entered the addiction phase, it is clear that most people will not hesitate to do things - things they are actually unable to account for and also not a few of them end up becoming criminals because they justify all means such as stealing or robbing just to get money to fund their gambling activities.
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: February 22, 2024, 02:17:06 PM
Indeed. When we gamble or bet with our won prediction, we won't blame other people at least. We may evaluate our own ways, that will be good to do. If we rely on other people prediction, we will never evaluate ourselves but only blames others. Evaluating makes us having better way in predicting or in gambling for the future.
....


I agree with your statement, when we gamble or bet using our own analysis, even if in the end we lose, we will only blame ourselves. This is different from, for example, when we bet or gamble based on other people's analysis, that means we only use other people's skills completely, and when we lose we will tend to blame that person for our losses. And because of this, a gambler should be able to take responsibility independently for his gambling so that he can learn and become better from his experience.

Yes and the point is that gambling by relying on other people who are called experts will actually only increase our disappointment when it turns out that in the end the results are not what we want, and obviously as you said that situation will only make us blame those who are called experts, But on the other hand I think if you decide to gamble by using the services of experts actually you are the one who should be blamed when the result turns out to be a loss, because you should have thought beforehand that gambling is always about "possibilities" and you cannot put your trust in the so-called experts because it is a fact that there are absolutely no so-called experts in gambling. On the other hand I would agree to say that the person is an expert if he is one of the casino owners.

We must understand that one of the reasons why the results of gambling are always unpredictable is because if there is someone who knows about the algorithms applied by the casino, especially to get a win, it is clear that the casino will most likely go bankrupt, and this is why so far I have never trusted those who are called experts. Therefore of course it is better to gamble yourself in the way we have, do not take it too seriously because gambling is just a probability activity that has no certainty.

It's quite reasonable that we will feel comfortable with losing 1% of our portfolio, this will apply if we have enough money, but if we have a little, it's not wrong to add no more than 5%. In my personal opinion, this is still relatively safe.
1% is indeed safe and certainly you won't notice the losses incase you are in bad streak. This is ideal for those who wants to try different games yet don't want to spend much or afraid to have huge losses.

But It depends for every gamblers since many of us probably don't want to waste our time (like those whale gamblers) using a small amount when playing especially if you're after profit. In my case, 5% of my day job salary is sufficient already to spend for leisure. IMO, regardless what percentage of your money is meant for gambling, as long as you'll be satisfied then that's what matter. Don't try to follow others who can spend more than what they can afford because often that's the start for someone to have a problem related to how they gamble.

Yes because in gambling we should pay more attention to risk management such as setting limits in various aspects because of the possibility of losing that will not always be avoided completely, in terms of budget, putting the amount of 1% of the total income we get is indeed a good approach and recommended in gambling, this way will make you feel safe and will not lose balance in terms of finances and will not experience problems in your finances.

But on the other hand I think limiting the budget amount is still not enough to make you in a safe situation and away from bad possibilities in gambling, because limiting the budget tends to lead to minimizing the number of losses and the other thing I suggest is that we also have to limit the time of involvement because it's useless even if you put a small amount but in fact you do with more attempts then obviously the number of losses must also be quite large, and that's why limiting the time of involvement is also something that must be done because by limiting in terms of time then you will not experience an increase in interest in gambling which of course it is likely to make you more curious about gambling. I think don't be too concerned with satisfaction, because of course it can increase the amount of your budget, simply put even if you put a small amount like 5% but if it turns out to lose and you feel still not satisfied with the gambling session then it is possible for you to re-deposit money to continue the session.

We have said it several times without number on this gambling board that gambling is not for making money. Gambling should only be for fun.

Or let me put it this way. If you want to gamble, either for fun or to make money, do not use more than 1% to 5% of your weekly income on gambling. The recommended percentage is 1% but I do not see 5% affecting me. So if you can not go more than 1% of your weekly income, do not go more than that.

If gambling is taking your money, do not gamble again.

Yes, I completely agree with your idea that gambling is not a place to make money but nothing more than a playground that should only be visited when you want to have fun and without bringing any seriousness in treating it. One of the reasons for this is that there is absolutely no guarantee that you will win at the end of the session which means that it is very likely that you will lose in the end. Looking at the case of the person in the video above then I think we can already conclude that he is one of the gamblers who has entered the phase of chronic addiction where he does not care about his family even when his wife is giving birth but he is thinking about gambling, of course this is a very worrying situation.

The things you mentioned here such as paying more attention to the limits by putting the budget amount no more than 5% is very good and all of them lead to preventive measures, besides being able to prevent yourself from the possibility of addiction it can also keep you at a balanced level in terms of finances, and my advice is to emphasize to yourself that gambling is nothing more than a game of probability that only provides "possibilities" and not "certainties".

If for sure win I surely agree that those people will not waste time taking some penny from those seekers,  knowing that they can easily take that money out from casino. It's really something that you needed to understand if you are planning to by or pay for some tipsters online, every individual who are claiming that they are experts and asking for money should be avoided,  or you can ask them to bet in your behalf using their own money and you'll going to pay them if the bet wins. As a simple as it is and I'm sure no one will give or provide you that kind of a deal, all those paid tipsters can't bet first using their own money and allow you to repay them after the net wins.

Yes that's the logic, if indeed those who are called experts can really turn the betting process into a win at the end of the session then obviously they will not waste time looking for people who will become their customers, and the question is why the experts don't do it themselves? anyway they can make the betting results always win right? with the ability they have then can't they become one of the billionaires? Of course, this is what doesn't make sense to me which makes me not believe that there are so-called "prediction experts" in gambling and as you said that we must be really careful because lately there are quite a lot of people who try to take advantage of the situation at all costs and maybe the victims will be people who are very taboo on gambling.

Eliminate all faith and trust in people who claim to be experts, because chances are it's not true, gambling is always about the game of chance and no one ever knows about the outcome at the end of the session, and also on the other hand I would really believe that they are experts if they are one of the croupiers or casino owners themselves.

If you don't succeed at something, but you managed to try it - is it worth regretting? Before you regret it, you need to understand why you failed and what you can improve. For example, if you have trouble playing poker, you need to read poker manuals and learn how to meditate, bluff, and control your emotions. If it doesn't work, then it's not your thing and you need to try something else
regretting always be the second option of someone who lose into whatever thing that is doing that involve money and they also involve opportunity so it is really encouraging for someone to understand exactly what is doing before the person partake or involved itself into such without knowing the disadvantages of such, let me use gambling as a primary example of someone being regretted after loss manifest into the body, so it is quite understand that gambling involve both profit and the loss and whoever that is into gambling knows that gambling has to do with loss and also winning so you have it in mind already that you may lose and when you lose your continue to think of your life

I think regret is only for people who act carelessly until they finally reach a situation where they feel regret, after all, from the beginning they already know that this is gambling where anything can happen outside of their wishes and expectations such as defeat that can never be avoided, and the problem is usually that they are too quick to get involved without first understanding what exactly the activity they are doing. This is why it is always advisable to first address gambling rationally and from various sides, I would call you a loser if you come just because you are too tempted to see a winning opportunity in gambling because of course gambling is always about two things that are winning and losing in the sense that you can be in two situations at the end of the session between winning or losing.

This is what will happen when someone misunderstands what gambling is that they finally try to take advantage of opportunities and situations to change their fate, but unfortunately they are in the wrong place. On the other hand gambling is supposed to be fun and not a place full of tension because you put your hopes up, and obviously when you put your hopes up on something that has no certainty about the end result then you will regret it.

I think 1% per bet is a reasonable amount for risk management, but there will be people who choose a higher or even lower risk ratio depending on their total amount of money. In my opinion, the percentage is not as important as whether you have the discipline to always maintain this ratio, or will it break any time you lose or win big. For me personally, the risk rate I choose is 5% risk on a total amount of 1000 USD, and as my total amount increases, the risk rate will gradually decrease, and the lowest will be 1%. I always stick to a certain risk ratio, only changing it when my total capital is changed.

If we go to risk management or safety in gambling involvement then yes obviously I would agree that 1% is the recommended budget amount because that amount will not be too much of a drain on your pocket, I understand that everyone has freedom in terms of putting a budget amount on their gambling and maybe for some people who have a pretty good income in their life they will definitely be more courageous to put a slightly large amount but still anyway what is more recommended is to put a low amount and not exceed 10% - 15%. On the other hand you can't say that the percentage is not important because obviously allocating a large amount of money is too risky even if you have good discipline, but for another thing I quite agree with you that we must be able to really be consistent in maintaining the small amount that we allocate and the conclusion is that the recommended approach is to put a small amount along with maintaining it and never you dare to increase the amount because what is worried is when you are unable to accept defeat.
