I agree, as long as a player keeps control over their habits they wont go broke and wont get addicted. If its your hard earned money you will feel bad after you lose and then you will end up sulking over it. Then you will go to play again in hopes of winning back your losses. That is no always possible and dangerous as well. If you chase losses that is wrong since in EV- games it only leads to more losses.

However it is also a dangerous mode of entertaining yourself if you are psychologically stimulated by the gambling motifs and get addicted to it. If a person is tried they may want to rest and sleep - or at least I do that. I dont think losing money at the moment of being tired is worth it.

Then again there is no harm if you are doing responsible gambling and you can control your emotions properly. But that rarely happens.

Can you explain how gambling is a "fun" activity? Apart from the thrill in playing and the excitement - there is nothing fun in losing a lot and becoming a beggar. Gambling is always associated with risk and loss. If a person is not willing to accept it then they may not play at all. Then it does not mean that the person has to get addicted to gambling because that is their own choice.

But then if a person takes gambling as a challenge - they will not stop until they secure their wins. Its like making that person an addict because no one knows what wins may happen in gambling and if that person will really win the stipulated amount that they thought they would. No one is contended with their wins - everyone wants more. Its important to stop soon and not think of ourselves as lucky people who can the beat the house, because that never happens.

Luck is the main factor that allows wins and losses in gambling to happen. Its a game of luck and if you are lucky you can win a lot or lose a lot. EV- games are dependent on nothing but luck - no strategy works there. But there are EV+ games where you can get a edge over the others and in PvP games as well. Gambling is risky - risk is always associated with anything in life but then one has to find ways to earn and live and gambling is the one where the risk is very high.

I agree with your idea. If gambling is dealing a heavy blow on your life then dont play too much and waste money. Play within limits and you can have fun and not go broke at the same time. A casual betting on a game with your friends can be fun if done properly and without the idea of winning huge amounts. If you dont take it seriously you might just lose a lot without actually realizing it before its too late - so I am a bit skeptical about it.

Its good if one can control their emotions and not get addicted to it. I guess you are talking about playing from the faucet amounts to play with. Its a meager amount if you say so and that too its not worth trying as well since to get something useful from it you will have to waste a lot of time trying to multiply that amount. Its better if one spends that time to do something more fruitful.

The number of people who get jackpots in gambling is very few and even then even lesser number of people manage to spend it wisely. The greed for even bigger wins is so big that they gamble that money away and end up losing it as well. Very few actually live the dream of becoming a millionaire.

That is why casinos are running in a flourishing manner and people are going back to them everyday - with false hopes of making a big win everyday.

Those who dont have any other method to make money will resort to per se illegal methods to win money aka gambling. But one cannot blame them for their decisions and make judgement on them. They have to survive like others and in this case they have to earn something. Then again gambling is illegal in many countries and thus should be done with caution or better get some other work to earn daily.

Uncertain outcome correct but the odds are against us in EV- games. In EV+ games your skills and knowledge can help you win many times, though luck is also important there as well. The fact with sports betting is that many games are rigged and thus it is not the players wrong decision all the times that they lose. Many teams are bribed by bookies and the share the loss obtained from their gamblers.

It is because we all want more money and there is not enough for your greed which is ever increasing. The greed and temptation to win more money makes a person mad and then they cannot stop playing. The habits that appear are due to the temptation and sense of luck that prevails in them. It makes them think that they are going to get lucky again - but then they end up losing what they won and the cycle repeats itself.

In EV+ games its possible to make profits (though low) by making smart moves. It is important to develop skills and knowledge on them. Now if EV- games are considered then luck is the major factor and not skills. The house edge is what one must be careful of and not play too much so as to conserve their winnings - better stop gamble while on a green streak and not be greedy.

It is one of the sins of human but it is controllable. If one is emotionally strong they can control their playing habits they can save themselves from going broke. The impact of addicted gambling is no doubt misery. But if you are not aware of that then you should not gamble in the first place. If the casino owners did not make any money (by making the players lose) - how can you expect them to run a casino in a flourishing manner? One has to earn while the other has to suffer.

Gambling sites are not scammers specially the reputed ones. Otherwise they would be caught by the developers of other sites. The loss is a part of gambling and not a scam. If you dont have that guts to confront your losses then you must not gamble at all. The house edge is there is EV- games and that what makes you lose money in case of the games where you keep on betting.

It is true that the one who is using their money to gamble is responsible to their decisions. Then the way they gamble is also their decision. Whether that win or lose is thus their own consequence. Then losing is a part of their game as well. If they can control the way the play and not get addicted to it then it wont be very dangerous to the player or his family.

It is correct and if one keeps a control on their gambling habits then it wont be bad for them. They can continue with other livelihood work along with it as well. But if gambling is taking away their time from family and work then of course it is affecting them badly and needs to be checked. It is possible to keep a check on gambling, how one can do that is their own discretion.

However in EV+ games the skills and knowledge are important and they can give an edge to experienced players and doom newbies. In EV- games the luck is the only factor, no question of skills there. Gambling is just a mode of entertainment and not to be taken as mode of earning. There are many professional gamblers but they are handful and their lives are not easy, no everyone can try that.

It is because many people believe in their luck which might be false but making them understand it is impossible and they wont stop gambling till they win. Some people are in it for greed and even try to rig the casino to try to win. But the majority of the returning players is due to the cashing of losses and the promotional offers that the casinos organize to gather potential gambling addicts into their membership.

In other words one needs to control their playing habits to prevent losing too much. If they have the habit of betting huge amounts and subsequently losing it all then they must work on improving that. Once they can control their habits then its possible to play gambling smartly - restrict the number of plays per day. Otherwise they will end up losing much and that wont help at all.

First of all gambling is not an investment. Its considered as a sin in many communities as well while investments are not. Most gamblers are idiots - which is the reason of their unemployment and frustration in life due to which they gamble. Hence when they win they cannot stop their greed from taking over their minds and they gamble more and more. This eventually leads to a net loss and no net profit.
