Very precise, but still do not get addicted you get. Because it certainly will guarantee your lives be miserable or become poor for life if you do gambling with greedy and end up getting addicted. Addiction will not provide a positive impact either however you condition, self control is the main thing that should be done so as not to get addiction or other bad things that

But if you are already addicted then I think there won't be a thing that you can do to stop your addiction, you can not practice self control because your mind is already preoccupy by addiction in gambling , the best way to get rid of addiction is a by getting a good psychiatrist and getting suggestion on what to do and what level are you now in your addiction on gambling if you will need to get rehabilitated or not.

The fact that a person knows that he is addicted to gambling already is a good sign for his/her recovery. The first step is acknowledging the current addiction situation then move forward. For me, the primary person that can help gambling addiction is that person himself/herself - no one does unless he/she make a firm and solid decision to stop the addiction.

How about the one who is not accepting the fact that he or she is addicted to gambling? I think certain persons need to know this too, and I think these type of person doesn't have a will to break loose from his addiction and really need help from the one that knows him or her and I think that is family needs to step up and I think family members needs to consult for a psychiatrist in what to do in order for the one who is addicted getting cure from addiction and I think that is how to help other gamblers that doesn't acknowledge themselves from being addicted.

There are better places to put money, in my opinion. But if it is wrong, it depends on your point of view, and it seems that there are very different opinions about it here.

Yup! there are plenty of opinion that you can see about gambling and people think it depends on the persons points of view if gambling is really wrong or not and in my opinion gambling really is wrong to think of it as a certain source of income is wrong, and to think of it as a good thing I think that is really bad well I think consuming your money over it than to have establish your own business is wrong either so I think the best way is to stop gambling bets and make your own business with your money or if you don't have a capital to start with get a job!
9003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling is Fun? on: August 22, 2016, 02:35:40 PM
Why everyone is using the Word of Fun for only gambling, if gambling is a game, so all games are interesting and entertainment, not funny, Gambling is not a drama or play, it is a real and mind blowing game.
For me, nothing is funny in gambling.
What do you think of FUN in gambling?     
I respect to your opinion but we have so different ideas and reason why playing gambling, its because in gambling is not a proper way of making profit. You cant depend on gambling making money, because almost playing gambling lose in the end and the owner of that gambling site is always the winner.

Yes every one has his own opinion regarding the matter about gambling and I think that your statement is true about it and I also think that the one who really profits when it comes to gambling sites or casino is the owner of it or the developer of a certain online sites, and because of the house edge that is how they are doing this stuffs!
9004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: August 22, 2016, 02:30:05 PM
Just do accept that we are losing in the long run, we are just an ordinary people and we do not belong to the special people who are making money in gambling if there is one. I myself, have already accepted a long time ago that gambling is hard job to do.
People making money off gambling is considered special people?
Then there's quite a lot of special people then. Those who are making money off gambling are just people who either have done great efforts to study and exploit methods or did heavy research before playing (most applicable to sports betting) or maybe some are just pure lucky.
I disagree with what he said, because people who gamble more and more aggressive and hence less social. The worst part of gambling is that it detaches you from family and society. I think social people are those who gamble but for fun.

What he is saying are not quite true, for a gambler are not special every gambler has no idea if he's ever gonna win that day or just lose a penny or bitcoin on the day he bet on it, and you don't need a great effort to study so hard to earn money every time you gamble because it is always pure luck that let's you win mostly of your bets

When you are not addicted to gambling yet then this one really sounds easy. Just like me i do gamble but once in a blue moon. Unlike addicted gamblers it is much easier for us to easily not play gambling but if you are already addicted then dude you must go to a legal adviser.

Legal adviser means a psychiatrist or a psychologist will do, well if a person is usually addicted to certain things or they get too much influence by a hubby then I think there is a problem to that person because too much is really bad for you and I think that is a good time to consult a psychiatrist and talk to him or her if what is a good thing to do for your situation!
9006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 22, 2016, 02:12:32 PM
gambling is so addicting because of the idea that if we are going to win or hit the jackpot it would be and easy money then. Yet the problem their is that instead of going up, gambling slowly pull us back especially if you will not able to control your self during the session.

Well a lot of gamblers that are into addiction never have a thought to realize that they are indeed addicted to gambling sometimes an addicted person doesn't see this and will continue to get caught with gambling because of his addiction and will need a help from his love ones to confront him of his condition!
9007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 22, 2016, 01:54:43 PM
for me gambling is very adictif, it's like nikotin or other illicit drugs , Iam ex gambler, i can stop for gambling because i never touch it again, if i have money i will use it for buying new vga then i use it for mining, that's better than i use my money for gambling

Well sometimes the level of addiction can not control by the gambler but there are certain gamblers that can go out from it without a problem and I think you are one of the lucky people that goes out without a problem or regain your self from addiction, certainly addiction can cause a people to take it on their head and will tattooed it on their mind that is a kind of causes for people who are addicted to various things but in some cases their will always be a person that will no hard problem in dealing with their addiction for example drugs I have know a certain someone that taking drugs in his old past life but never been addicted in the present!
9008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: August 22, 2016, 01:46:45 PM
Yeah, loss of self control is an action that will not make us win or are having good luck. because when we lose control so all we do will certainly be considered something that is true. control yourself and make a plan that fairly steady while doing gambling
Just always never break the rule of "Never go beyond the amount you can bear to lose" and you will do good at most of the times. People always lose in the long run whenever they break this simple rule because of their greed. But silly mistakes might lead to big losses which may go beyond affordable limit. Being careful in not viable for all the gamblers at all the time.

Yup.. and not only the losses. If you win $1, you would think it's not that much and you want to get $1 more. And when you get $2 you want $4 and so on. It looks easy. It even is easy, but.. as easy as it is to loose that amount.
I would admit that I am a big loser and I lose because I do not have a very good bankroll that would enable me to withstand big losing streak during gambling session so that is true, we all lose in the long run.
If so, I am also a looser because I think I have lost not just in long but even in short term gambling, like for example when I gamble for a day that is short term right ? then also i badly loose and end up dumping all my money. I always try to resist myself but always fail, though I love the enjoyment it gives me.
I think the topic would like to imply that even though we are winning sometimes or having a positive record in gambling, we still lose if we continue to gamble. That is because the house are the edge and in the long run we will be beaten by that house edge.

That house edge will always there when someone play gambling, because without house edge gambling casino or gambling  site won't profit for making such business and I think they also need to take a profit than most people who's playing gambling but I think gambling sites has taking most all of the credit instead of the player that is the way gambling works.
9009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 22, 2016, 12:49:05 PM
Staying away is very hard but if you are willing enough and you feel the more you stick to gambling the more it ruined your life them you need to do the desperate measures, seek help from your love ones and be hones to yourself as they will only help you if you are willing. You cannot stay away by yourself when you are addicted already so you have no choice but seek for their help.

Seeking help from your love ones can always help you along the way cause the struggle from addiction is really hard and needs proper love and care and a lot of financial issues ahead so I think they need to stock up some because getting to a psychiatrist is very much expensive and it is not really easy being addicted so I think staying away from it is the best part you can always do.
9010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 22, 2016, 12:42:28 PM
People are greedy and wish to become a millionaire overnight like in fairy-tales. If that was really the case then so many people would not study and work hard in order to earn money to live - everyone would flock at casinos and become millionaires one by one. The casinos are not giving away money for free. They are running a business and they are the real profit makers.

And players can not always expect getting rich in gambling that easily cause gambling can only ruined you or can make your life miserable when you can not control you emotions and greed at the same time, because when these things occur to you, you can not simply just say to your self you can stop from betting if you emotions will apply to you, and some people are always like that and I am not mentioning all gamblers there are just few like that!
9011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling is Fun? on: August 22, 2016, 08:23:30 AM
gambling is fun when you win and become addiction when you lose again and again and try to win again.

For some people gambling is really fun but I think the real fun in gambling is for live casino where there are free chips, drink, and hotel rooms for their guesses but in online gambling the fun part when you can get free bitcoin well some say when they have felt the fun when they are playing gambling but I think the Fun in gambling begins when you keep on winning every bet and if a player would certainly lose the frustration begins in online gambling, because live casino and online gambling are 2 different things!

In live casino's no one will give you free coins. We have to buy coins and do gambling. They will give some offers for players, in that offer the condition is we have to play some fixed amount, Suppose if you lose your investment then they will make you some free coins (10 or 20% of your investment) to play. Here they will provide hotel, food drinks, etc..etc. But here we win it is big fun, If we lose means we may get a heart attack. Because the investment is the very high amount.

There are certain casino's that are giving coins to play for free and I think it is their way so many players can be hooked to that kind of offer, they are doing this to gain more players and for promotional purposes and just like in free offers in a super markets, and department stores there are definitely free and special offers that a casino can bring out for their customers!
9012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: August 22, 2016, 08:13:33 AM
Let's be honest. Gambling should only be considered for entertainment purposes only. If you are in need of quick cash, doing hard dirty work is more often than not better than hitting up the casino sites. I see way too many people in this section try to justify their gambling habits by saying they have strategies to always win. Others on this forum will go as far as to say that they are professional gamblers, and they always win. You're fooling no one and you look stupid.

All the gambling addicts I knew in real life who claimed to win from casinos all the time had serious mental issues. I went gambling with that guy once, and he ended up blaming me for him loosing at Pai Gow poker, a game that's 100% chance.

And just to let you guys know, ALL the casinos in my jurisdiction say the same things in public advertising campaigns. So far, my sig campaign manager has not PM'ed me telling me to quit bashing gambling. Nobody wins gambling, so lets stop pretending anyone here makes a living gambling online.

Yes, people that have their strategies and tells that it works actually just  had good win streak, and huge luck of course.
As even with martingale, you will lose anyway as there will be loss streak anyway, it is matter of time only.
And the end result is always we lose in the long run, the it the sad reality in gambling if you are going to try your way to earn money because it is not for you to earn because the gambling sites are in that position, we are just here to learn from our loses that we should just enjoy gambling.

You can surely enjoy playing gambling but I think it is enjoyable when you are always getting the green hit from it and not all losses, and I think you can there are just a few gamblers that are enjoying it because you can never really tell if your gonna get lucky on the day you're gonna play it or sadly you are always getting the losses in every bet you make cause gambling is really too risky so be very careful in dealing with it.

   I`m surprised with all this comments!!! There is so many smart, stupid, funny, crazy, sad, ugly comments. Why this thread is still open for new comments, and more bullshit?
   Roughly there is 100 same comments of each suggestion, and each suggestion have couple confirmations. I wonder did OP read his thread until the end? And did he quit gambling finally?
   He need to tell us what happened in the end with his life and to lock this thread if its possible. There is no more place for any new suggestion as I can see.

Maybe the OP has completely quit from gambling and is now happily spending quality time with loved-ones in the bahamas or is now hiking in the mountain and just unplugged from technologies for awhile. Maybe, he will no longer open this thread again as he completely detach himself from all of this and now live a happy, hopeful, and meaningful life. However, here we are still giving advice to the OP Smiley

Even if the OP is already happily spending quality time in the bahamas and already quit gambling, there are still a lot of gamblers who may need to read these advices and may help them too to quit gambling. This suggestions are not only for a single gamble, but for all gamblers out there who may need this help.

Totally agree to this. The advices here are good not only to OP but as well to everyone who are suffering from gambling right at this very moment. Letting this thread not locked by OP offers venue for everyone to share thoughts and help one another against gambling addiction.

These kind of threads simply can be use for a good advice by some other that are still addicted with gambling and at one point can be use by users that are just spamming their post for posts count or for signature campaign purpose only, we should not let any kind of users to just keep on posting shitty post rather giving advice for other users so they can suppress the urge with their addiction on gambling. 
9014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: August 22, 2016, 07:35:08 AM


Exactly, it is better if you are going to value your money at all and you won't say that you are rich today and you will still be rich tomorrow if you are just keep on losing daily on gambling. That's why you must avoid it to happen if you are already rich today. Because gambling is really going to pull you to become poor if you are not managing it well.

Yup! that is exactly the point why many gamblers are kissing the lump because they do not avoid in taking the risk in playing it, well that kind of a person doesn't know the purpose and responsibilities in having a lot of money in his hand and I think that they mostly think wasting their money would not do them any harm by spending it in playing gambling they think they can regain what they have lost in it!



There are two types of rich people that are into gambling and that are the most decent ones when it comes to gambling and they know on where gambling is going to bring them and they know their limitations. And the other is that they don't care even they are just keep on losing as long as they have enough money for gambling.

Yup! there will always be different kinds of people playing gambling and they have different kinds of the way they think that is why there are certain gamblers that are very worried when they lose just a few bucks in a bet, but there are a gamblers that are just enjoying it and taking the game easy because they think they can just earn the lost money by just continuing their every bet with it.
9015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: August 18, 2016, 02:38:16 PM
Honestly i never made any profit in gambling casino online but i already made a profit in local lottery because i always trying my luck and buying every day a ticket and make a lots of profit..
But here in online never made any profit..

I want to buy from your bookie ^^ You have had so much luck. It certainly is not usual to make nice profits if you buy each day.

It actually depends on your luck cause most of the gambling games are based on luck, Well there are some to that requires analysis like you're gonna look for patterns.
You can't earn anything if you always based it on luck. Well it depends on your risk appetite on how much are you willing to bet and the worst case scenario is how much are you not willing to lose. Everything can be unexpected in betting. Some of my experiences are not that sweet in fact most of them are not. Smiley

Even my experience as not sweet regarding gambling, because whenever i deposited any amount of bitcoin in a gambling site i used to lose it all at the end even if i managed to win some at first but at the end house would be the winner.

Because that is the way a gambling site would profit by letting their house edge balanced the winning and losing side of the gamblers Well I think they are making it possible for them to profit in these kind of business they have, that is why gambling is indeed risky and will need a certain luck to get what you want.

The ones that lose pay fpr the ones that win ^^ so we hope to win as much as we can.

Well if that is the case I think a gambler would become very much addicted to gambling because of hoping to much that his gonna get the jackpot that is very very hard to get because of the risk of every gambler to take a bet because they wouldn't know if his lucky or not because he needs to bet to see if he is, and I think a gambler that is hoping too much in winning every bet would end up addicted!
9016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 18, 2016, 02:27:02 PM
For those who do not have any knowledge about gambling, I will say it is wrong for them to gamble as they are not able to earn back their invested money into gambling, they will lose all of their money sooner.

Yeah, gambling is risky to people who know about gambling and it's even more risky to people who don't know about gambling and i think gambling it's not wrong if you know how to do it.

You see, that's the problem all gambling addicts are having, they all think they know how to do it. I don't think gambling is wrong but thinking that you know how do it is wrong in my opinion. That way of thinking leads you to big loss.
yes they think they can and will always win , they gamble confidently but got a disappointing result everytime they gamble , they think they know how to gamble properly to win but they don't.

i can not see gambling are wrong , i only can see yourself are in wrong condition when you gamble.

 As long as your not addicted to it. The addicted gambler is what is wrong here. Just accept if you loose and never too greedy if you win. You must set a goal.

Even if you are not addicted to it, gambling will still be wrong no matter what you say as long as your playing gambling it will still be a wrong doing for a person because it is tempting people to throw away their money, tempting people to give in to their greed and often taking advantage of poor people who think they can gain instant wealth.
Don't be so harsh with gambling man, it will never be wrong. Gambling is purely for fun and this is not for everyone so if you feel that gambling is not good for you then why bother, just play what you like and stay away in gambling. I love gambling and I see it just for fun.

Yes there are lot that is saying gambling is for Fun but the fact that gambling can be really wrong will be always there the fact that gambling is tempting each and everyone of us here in playing it and taking for granted and playing it in desperation in winning something from it, and I think that gambling is really prohibited in some countries!

I think that's not true, because gambling is a system designed to satisfy the mind of each of the players. If you say that gambling is very tempting, then it only exists in your mind who wants to get a big advantage in gambling. If you are wrong in referring to the intention then you will get evil

Yes that is the point! I am saying that some gamblers are getting tempted in playing gambling and getting tempted in betting all of their money in one bet and yes I know that many gamblers out there that has already been addicted in gambling and yes I think that gambling is already commit many evil ways in a human behavioral and in s spiritual behavior too!
9017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 18, 2016, 02:13:14 PM
Well that is a further problem any gambler could get because there is no technique or skill that are needed in playing various gambling methods so there are no need to think about it and the only mindset some gamblers will posses is if they have plenty of money they can surely win a lot than getting losses that is why they will keep on playing it until they realized that they spend all of it in gambling.

Exactly, people always start fantasizing when they get a quite big capital in hands by thinking that they will make them double or triple in gambling without thinking that if gambling can provide us a lot of profit if we are lucky but it can also take away our money and that is likely to happen most of the times.

Because that is what gambling are you can never tell if your gonna win or not well some people are thinking that they can eventually gain money by means of gambling they don't even know the real face of gambling, that it is risky and you can only win on luck base with it.
I do not know many people who have a regular income from gambling, but the permanent loss of the game in the casino, there are not enough. Since this is a psychological dependence, then the person can not control themselves in full and, therefore, if you win money, then immediately and lose them back.

I think they can not win that easily even if they pursue it that much, In the level of risk in gambling I think not everyone will be lucky enough to snug the winning percentage that much well if people that are addicted to it have a psychological dependence over gambling they need to be treated quickly before they became a problem to their family!
It actually depends on the type of gambling and a type of gambler, if a gambler can find a good gambling game where he can use his skills he has a good chance to win in the long run, like poker, if you have a good skills in reading cards you can win a big amount of money since there is not house edge on that game.

If a certain gambler has skills in a poker game that is! but if his opponent has a good experience and a great skills and technique in gambling I think he would not win and there would be just one winner in a poker match that is why it will always depends on the luck of a person too!

It is not easy to stay away from gambling if you are an addict
but I agree some advice here to block the gambling site in your browser or find a new hobby in your real life.
well of course it is not easy to stay away from it unfortunately though if you manage to find some other hobbies then it is possible to avoid it

Focusing on other activities can really help. Your time and energy will be taken by that new activity and you will have nothing left for gambling. If you keep doing that for a few weeks, you will eventually take out gambling off your system. It may take some time before it can fully get away from gambling but it can help.

agreed. other activities may not give the same dopamine as gambling but its one ways to stay away from gambling
it is the one and only way to stay away from gambling yourself, if other hobbies do not help then you need to get some help from the doctors to quit it

I Think suggestions from a psychiatrist or psychologist are often needed if the level of addiction is really that high I think it is getting serious that is why you need to take action and gather information and help from a certain somebody who knows the stuff in getting rid of your addiction

Maybe it was the right course of action, but I think the major actions or major factors that could make the addict quit gambling is support from someone she loved one or their families. because surely the family much closer and understand what there is in the the addict

Well if there would be someone that's gonna be close to him that wants him to change is his family and not a friend who's just there if he needs a thing from him and if he doesn't need anything he would be gone in an instant well family members is a different case cause we are talking about blood related and the last thing we would run to if we have a problem is a family!
9019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: August 18, 2016, 01:24:36 PM

Strategies would only apply in a certain games, to be a clever gambler you need to choose a gambling type that has no house advantage like sports betting, there you can apply your strategy and I believe you have a bigger chance of winning in the long run if you will focus on your strategy and will not let your emotion spoil it.

What you have said is true, because sports betting has totally no house edge of some sort and the fact that you are sure that you can win base on your knowledge but sometimes you will certainly lose but if you keep up the pace in just betting whenever a game have been bet I think you can surely get a profit out of it.
Sports betting is one of the best place to make a profit also its not boring game unlike dice game that has 1% houseedge or lower houseedge..
I compare already that game to sports betting because its easy to make a profit and to choose what team will be win unlike in dice game its just like a coin flip you will never now if it will high or low.. its always base in luck..


Well I think there wouldn't be a connection of house edge over sports betting because there would be a manipulation over the winnings of a gambler and the outcome of the betting is base on a real game winnings a real time betting what they call it that is why I think this type of game doesn't have any house edge!
