I don't quite agree with you. A lot depends on what kind of gambling you are playing. Emotions can significantly affect the result of the game while playing poker, but they are unlikely to affect the results of the game in the slots, because your emotional background has nothing to do with the algorithm that controls the winnings. The only thing that can be affected by emotions in slots is making decisions, for example, to stop after winning and withdraw money.

Hmm yes it seems that I would agree with your statement for emotional problems, any type of gambling or game provides a chance of winning but there may be differences for each game in how to win it and for the type of slot game I strongly believe that the casino applies a random algorithm to determine who will win, so for emotional problems, no matter if you put a large amount of money or whatever because you are upset because in the previous session you lost it is still possible to win can occur in addition to the possibility of losing, and I have also said several times on other pages that greed does not always end with worse results, Because it is possible to eventually realize a big win with your greed provided that you have to be in a really lucky situation, but even so it is still the overall rule in gambling in general that wins will be less frequent than losses and that means applying greed will only make you worse and regretful because it is not easy to get a win, and on the other hand I agree with you that emotions usually affect and interfere with a person in terms of making decisions.
You're right: randomness dominates the casino's gleaming halls, whatever our desires or misery. Believing that raw, unfettered passion can persuade cold, unfeeling algorithms of chance is the trap.

Consider that the slot machine, a miracle of chance, doesn't care about your losses or redemption attempts. You risk foolishness by saying greed can win in rare cases. Luck is helpful, but it's fickle. The house always wins, they say. The real risk is walking away and recognising the moment before it recognises us, not playing slots.

Though vital, emotions are terrible gambling advisors. They obscure judgement, causing regrettable actions. To navigate these tumultuous waters, one must grasp the odds, recognise the bias against loss, and, most importantly, know oneself. Choosing, not luck, is the real game, my friend.

It is a fact that the algorithms that casinos apply to every game especially slot machines are completely random and this is what makes the game end up winning or losing, if you can choose then obviously anyone would only want to win and not want to lose, but this is gambling in general where betting is an outcome that will never be known and you will only find one of the two answers between winning or losing, But on the other hand it's business for the casinos which means your losses are profits for them and this statement confirms and can also be used as an excuse for the actual fact that losses are always more frequent than wins which will always be "coincidental".

But few or very few people are able to understand these facts, their thinking is so simple that they do not think about anything else and just believe that "I will win", it is too simple a thought to understand gambling which is actually complicated to be able to reach the facts that actually happen behind the scenes. On the other hand even if you understand that both winning and losing can always happen at the end of the session but nevertheless it is the right thought to avoid the greed aspect because obviously the fear of losing more should be a concern, I understand that luck is still possible, but as you said it is fickle, and another reason is that there is absolutely no certainty that you can actually make a bigger amount by applying greed. So I think having a balanced perspective on the chances of winning and the chances of losing is a good understanding so that you can make the best decision based on awareness.

I would just call the unfairness a situation where I was really "unlucky", meaning that I was unlucky enough to be one of the many gamblers who fell victim to the cunning of the casino, and there is nothing else we can do but accept the situation we are in, and however the acceptance factor within is indeed recommended when you are involved in gambling because this is a preparation for the bad impact or defeat that occurs at the end of the session that can never be avoided completely.

On the other hand I think we can never measure whether the game is fair or not because you will never know and can't measure that what you are doing is right or wrong when you are in the middle of a session so this is what makes when you expect to win with everything you do but the result is losing, after all gambling is a gambling activity that has no certainty whatsoever about the outcome, so I can't claim that the casino is unfair except for technical issues such as account freezing or withdrawal process failure.
I get your point. Gambling is unpredictable, so calling it "unlucky" fits. But isn't there more? Accepting defeat is different from denying unfair play. Gambling is about uncertainty, but that doesnt imply we ignore fairness. You cant always measure it mid-game, but post-game evaluation helps. Bad luck or warning signs?

You're right about IT difficulties. These are quantifiable fairness measures. What about subtler aspects? Example: win-loss patterns. Are they random or more?

Yes because I think that's exactly what it is, what I mean is that it's more appropriate for us to say "bad luck" as you say when we experience some undesirable circumstances including situations of unfairness or defeat, for the issue of unfairness yes I understand that this is the fault of the casino  but can you find a way to refuse it or to hold it accountable if the place you are involved in is an online casino? if it's just to ask a few questions along with disappointment to them through the service feature maybe it's still possible but you can't be sure if they will actually fulfill something you want or not and more likely and what I also experienced is that they froze my account at that very moment so I lost access to justice if indeed it's about technical issues as I said before.

I'm not saying that we should ignore fairness because that's certainly our right as an audience or a customer of the casino, but what I'm saying is that you can't reach out and get full access to be able to get or collect fairness from an online casino when something like that happens  outside of the issue of unlucky losses. So it's a good idea to suggest to anyone  to first assess or look from various sides about the reputation of the casino you  want to enter, try to make sure they can be trusted, because this  is also for the security of our involvement to avoid some technical problems or unfairness outside of the general risk acceptance problem that exists in every gambling..
943  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: February 19, 2024, 09:34:34 AM

Yes that's the main point, because after all it's useless to gamble if you basically have a lot of financial problems and as I said above that if you really feel such problems then I'm sure that you have a wrong approach to gambling, while on the other hand gambling will only be fun if you come without putting any expectations on winning and not putting any seriousness, some people just make gambling as a place to fill their spare time when they are off work and I also now always do it and I really feel that I do not suffer from any problems in finance because I only need or spend a small amount is enough to get entertainment, and if you have a serious problem it means it seems like you have a goal to earn there.

So the point is I hope you or anyone can really reach the realization to consider this and also to make a decision that is the best decision you should make for your long-term safety such as quitting. On the other hand as I said earlier that I am one of those gamblers who recovered from addiction, I didn't ask for anyone's help in terms of figuring out how to overcome it and I just took some time to find a really quiet place where I could think clearly and eventually I found that occupying yourself with other things in order to take your mind off the temptation to gamble really makes sense because then you will lose the attraction to gambling slowly.
Gambling should be a hobby, not a profit strategy. It's wise to treat it as entertainment with little financial commitment. It shows how to balance gambling's appeal with financial wellness. Although important, self-awareness and personal accountability are crucial. Gambling's risks must be recognized and limits set. Your unique tale guides others on similar paths. Diverting oneself is a great idea

True, making gambling a playground is a mindset and idea that is more advisable than making it a place to change fate, it's just an illusion that comes out of your head because you put your hopes on winning, and anyway I think there is enough evidence that we can make examples and lessons that most gamblers who are too serious in treating their gambling activities with their records that want to earn end up with a lot of downturns, simply put instead of earning but what happens instead is losing a certain amount of money. I think things or cases like this can really be used as lessons and considerations to reach the right decision, so I think now all your choices are in your own hands, if you can reach the awareness to consider then you just have to choose which one is better for you, and obviously I am sure that if you manage to reach the awareness to consider then it is a fact that in the end you change your mindset and make gambling nothing more than a playground when you have free time without putting any seriousness and expectations.
944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: February 19, 2024, 09:06:42 AM

Being responsible also will helps you to maintain your characteristic like both of you said losing control can ends up losing your money and with that concept chances that you'll have a change  in emotion will take place, though some gamblers can still dictate what is needed  and can act normally while  most of those who can't control their emotions have a difficulty to accept their failures and mistake that leads them to lose their money.

The chance that you will see emotional swings with those types of gambler,  they have a hard time accepting and admitting  that it was their fault that they lose when playing.

What you have just said is very true, responsible behavior also has a positive side in controlling ourselves when we gamble. By being responsible, a gambler tries to behave well and not be hasty in making every decision and not only that, by behaving responsibly the gambler plays with full control. good and can limit the amount of betting and when it is time to stop gambling. Therefore, every gambler has a responsibility to prevent addiction resulting from excessive gambling.
Yes, that's right, without responsible behavior in gambling, sometimes someone cannot accept the defeat they experience and is carried away by emotional outbursts, gamblers experience unstable changes in behavior.

Responsibility is something that is always recommended in any case especially if you are involved in gambling, let's discuss the points where gambling is an activity that provides two possibilities of winning or losing and one of these two things you will always find at the end of each session, simply put if you win it means you are lucky and if you lose it means luck is away from you, and responsibility itself means you are able to accept defeat at the end of the session, however gamblers are advised to have responsibility in themselves and if not then maybe I would say that you are a loser who only wants to win but is not ready to lose. On the other hand there are many benefits of being a responsible gambler and one of them you have said here is that you will be able to have full control over yourself especially in terms of emotions, as we know that most gamblers have difficulty in accepting the fact of losing, I understand that losing money is a frustrating situation but do you realize that this is a betting activity? If you do then I think you will be able to be a responsible gambler because after all gambling is a risk taking activity which means you can never completely avoid the possibility of risk, and by having responsibility then you will be able to minimize emotions which of course will also be able to minimize the amount of significant losses due to uncontrolled emotions.
945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investment in gambling on: February 19, 2024, 08:24:02 AM
I do not agree. People will not always bet for big wins. Sometimes it's just a person having fun without such great intentions. Playing the same games that people have already played and won a lot of money is natural, anyone does it.

There are two types of gamblers who have different goals in their gambling activities where some of them come only to seek entertainment and pleasure through the sensations they get and most of the others those who come to earn, I am forced to say that "most" gamblers prioritize earning over pleasure, one of the reasons is that few people are able to understand what is meant by "winning opportunities" in gambling and that is the reason why I say most gamblers come with the intention of earning. Of these two objectives it is clear however that I would rather advise anyone to choose the first point that I mentioned above that it is better to gamble for fun without putting any seriousness, because the logic is that if you are lucky enough then you will also be able to win a certain amount.
Earning would really be the one priority even if you do say say that you are really just that playing or gambling for fun but cant really be able to deny that you would really be having those kind of sudden change of thoughts on the time or in the middle of such session on which there's no way that you could really be able to make yourself that not having those kind of thoughts and impressions as you do go ahead.
On the time that you would be suffering those consecutive losses then this is the strongest emotion or feeling that you would really be needing to chase up those loses and this is something that you would really be
able to act out on that particular time. Speaking about investment then the only time that gambling becomes investment is on the time that you are investing into the house bankroll and not the ones who are really that playing into it. It doesnt really make sense if you are really passing up your deposits or money into someone who do make out some claims that they do have that good winning rate on their betting.

Yes because logically everyone needs money in life and we work in the real world to be able to earn money from income and therefore I think we can no longer lie to ourselves that actually what makes us interested in getting involved in gambling because of the "winning opportunities", I'm not a hypocrite because I also wouldn't refuse if I basically managed to get a win, But maybe the difference is that there are some gamblers who understand that although casinos provide winning opportunities but on the other hand casinos also provide the other possibility of losing and with this they prioritize precautionary measures or that means gambling quite carefully and carrying a budget amount that they can only afford to lose because doubling up is a second priority. It's like balancing fun with profit by focusing more on caution and vigilance.

But yes it seems that I have to agree with your idea that even though we gamble more for fun than earning it is still possible for us to experience a change of mind where we are unconsciously trapped and instead tend to prioritize income, I think it's natural because gambling is an activity that can stimulate the brain and mind and usually the change scenario starts when there is a losing streak in each session because it is also very possible for you to eventually turn into an irresponsible gambler, and it is quite dangerous if it happens in the long run. On the other hand for the investment issue yes I agree with you that if indeed profit is your main priority then the more sensible choice is to invest in the house or casino bankrol itself in terms of helping the casino's finances to enlarge its business and not at all in the players or ordinary gamblers who just expect luck to win. It is a common notion that the house will always win and this is the reason why we advise everyone to invest in the house if you have access to it.
946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: February 19, 2024, 07:57:39 AM
Actually breaking the cycle by diverting attention to other things is not difficult to do but sometimes it's not easy to do, I mean the gamblers themselves don't want to break the cycle, one of the reasons is that they are unable to accept the fact of losing beforehand which in the end as we know that most of them even take some actions to pursue the recovery phase which is actually quite impossible if you do it in gambling. So what needs to be addressed first is the acceptance of the fact of losing because this is the only way you can do things like take your eyes off gambling for the next few days and come back to it when the mood improves. I think this action really won't apply to someone who has entered the addiction phase because they are typical  gamblers who find it difficult to accept the reality of losing, and on the other hand if your goal is to recover from gambling then you need to really make sure whether your intention is really strong or not, because sometimes there are also people who say they want to recover from gambling but they say it when they are in a losing situation, in the sense that their mind is emotional and that's bullshit.
There must be a desire from the gambler to start trying to break the cycle so that he can start thinking about what he can do so that he doesn't just think about gambling but also think about other things so that he can start to leave gambling behind slowly. If they don't want to try, it will be difficult because it takes courage to try to leave or reduce their gambling activities and that is what not many gamblers can do. Meanwhile, more and more people are losing control of themselves in gambling so that they forget that gambling is just entertainment. Many gamblers only think about how to recover their losses and win again. This requires their acceptance of the risks they receive from gambling because there are still many gamblers who are unable to accept the results they get after finishing gambling. So that's what makes it difficult for many gamblers to break the cycle and still keep returning to gambling to achieve their goals. But for people who have started to become addicted to gambling, it will be difficult because their minds will only think about gambling. If they still cannot realize the impact of gambling and make no effort to reduce their gambling activities, they will fall deeper into gambling.

Yes, that's the main point, basically all changes must start and begin with openness and willingness from yourself to do so or that means there must be a really strong intention and determination to stop when you are in a bad situation or even when you really want to quit gambling activities completely. As I said earlier that sometimes there are also people who say they want to quit but it turns out that it's just nonsense and I often hear things like this from some of my friends when they are in a losing or emotional state and the word "quit" is nothing more than an emotional outburst because they are upset maybe.

You have said that it does take courage to do it and that is true because everything requires action if you really want to succeed or want to get a change, and on the other hand yes of course one of the things that makes it difficult for gamblers to quit or at least to just reduce their gambling activities is because they have difficulty in accepting the reality of the fact of defeat so they are confused between having to let go or go back to pursuing recovery, so the key is that you must really be able to let go and accept the reality of whatever amount of defeat you have experienced because only with this your mind can be open and can help you to facilitate the process of quitting.
947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? on: February 18, 2024, 05:03:32 PM
I am in support to say that majority of the people that gambles chases profits but I can't bet it that they are of 80%.

I think it is much more than that, close to 100%. If you're betting money without having in mind to win money, I don't know if you know what you're doing. I think that anyone who says they gamble for entertainment is looking for an excuse because the main thing is to win money, it is the possibility of winning money that makes gambling an enjoyable activity.

Exactly! actually, more than 80% of gamblers why they always gamble, the reason is the profit that can be won. Other players are not going to waste their time if they have nothing to gain from it, especially when money is involved. We know that everything now, every action needs money so it's impossible that they didn't want to win. even the rich who gamble just for fun, somehow still expect to win. you won't see anyone gambling just for fun, everything revolves around money.

I don't think we can lie to ourselves that it's actually the "chance of winning" in gambling that makes you or anyone else ultimately attracted to this activity, logically everyone needs money and you've also said it that most things you can get when you have money especially in terms of making ends meet, and that means the main focus of most gamblers is to "multiply" the money they bring in a certain amount. On the other hand, if your sole purpose is to be entertained, then why don't you choose something else that is also fun without the risk involved? There are many other options that you can choose from if you just want to be entertained, and this is a big question for me.

But on the other hand I would not accuse them too much with the idea of gambling to earn, because if we look at the number of rich people who are also involved then this can also be taken into consideration for another result, which is that rich people already have a lot of money and already know and have ways to get a lot of money so that they can become rich people, and that means I quite believe that rich people gambling prioritize fun rather than earning, and maybe the conclusion is that the financial circumstances and situations in your life determine the goals you have in gambling.
948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: February 18, 2024, 04:31:20 PM
Maybe just look at the number of people buying lottery tickets all over the world. That just shows you how many are hoping to hit the jackpot because they are not earning enough. Rich people gambling on casinos can be doing it simply for entertainment or just addicted as your friend said. There's really no argument here.

That is where a lot of people get it wrong. The idea that gambling is a get rich quick scheme or an avenue to make more money is a wrong idea which actually makes them deviate from a healthy gambling practice to a very poor gambling practice just because their aim is to make more money from it. The more they tend to take gambling activities too serious and spend too much time on staking and other gambling activities they begin to slip in more important aspects of their lives.
In some cases the situation can be soo bad that they eventually become gambling addicts. It is also important to note that gambling responsibly doesn't actually depend on the financial status of the person but rather the level of personal discipline the person has attained.

Exactly, it is true that most gamblers misunderstand what gambling is really about, they tend to conclude that gambling is an activity that can change their fate, or that can make them rich instantly, this kind of mindset arises naturally in their brains and the victory achieved by someone else or one of their friends will really be a motivation for them to be more excited and unconsciously this can increase their confidence and hope in winning.

However, this is a wrong mindset and point of view on gambling, the randomness that exists in gambling really makes the game unpredictable about the outcome and this means that there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session and this is one of the strong reasons why gambling should not be used as a place to earn because obviously you have also said the real fact that what will happen is that they will lose money instead of making money, casinos provide "opportunities" are nothing more than a trick for people who try to take advantage of situations and circumstances and this is why someone who is already addicted has many problems in his life, especially in terms of finance. On the other hand, responsible gambling is not based on how rich you are, as it is more about taking precautions to minimize your actions and budget.
949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: February 18, 2024, 04:05:15 PM

Humans are naturally greedy and this is why we do really missed out on those basic stuffs even just as simple as on stopping gambling when we are on profits but instead people would really be that playing further more on which this is resulting on losing up big time and this is why it would really be that best that you should really be mindful about on the actions that you are making. Just like been said by others that people would really be just that planning to make those changes on the time that they would really be that experiencing those hardship and not really tending to do it earlier so that they would
really be able to avoid those hard situations in life specially in talking about money or finances. If you are really just that wise then you would definitely do those basic stuffs.

Yes, all humans have greed in them and the difference may be that there are some who are able to control it and there are also some who are completely unable to control their greed, and gambling is one of the activities that can trigger human greed because of the "opportunity to win" in gambling. This means that someone who cannot control their greed in gambling then maybe we can call them an addicted gambler, as I said earlier that this is what will happen when you come as a result of being too interested in winning opportunities then one day and over time then you will become a greedy gambler.

I understand that it is not easy to ignore greed especially when you are in a winning situation, logically the object of victory in gambling is money and everyone needs and wants money and when you do not put any caution or do not apply any risk management then obviously you will always chase victory with the aim of getting more. But on the other hand
It is a fact that gambling is a risk-taking activity which means that the possibility of losing will not be avoided at any time and this is the reason why gambling cannot be used as a place to earn.
Even the most diligent can be swayed by "just one more win" in this internal war. Time and time again, this attraction turns the cautious into the compulsive, a subtle but hazardous change. Gambling is a surefire way to lose, like the tides. Ironically, many get nothing while pursuing more. The gambler's paradox is that the mechanism designed to win is ideally designed to trap.

Gamblers depend on risk management, a term often used informally. Not only a tactic, but a necessity. Without it, greed is inevitable. True wisdom in this high-stakes game of chance is the ability to walk away from losses.

That's right, and what you've said is proof positive that "change" does happen over time and that hardly any gamblers realize this especially if they were cautious gamblers to begin with, which is why in other discussions I've said that every gambler really needs to be assertive, It doesn't matter if you've made a commitment to yourself to be a responsible gambler because human nature, interests and behaviors are likely to change over time, especially when it comes to gambling where there are so many tempting things that can tempt you subconsciously and as I said above, awareness is an aspect that must be applied in all situations when you gamble.

I think it's a fact that greed always ends up as a vehicle that will drive you to a dead end. This means that instead of getting a pleasant atmosphere from the scenery that can spoil the eyes but instead what happens is that you get lost and this is the fact of greed. On the other hand yes, risk management is a very important thing that should not be forgotten because this is what will be your savior during the trip.

951  Economy / Economics / Re: Quitting Smoking Has Two Big Benefits. on: February 18, 2024, 02:51:51 PM
I think cigarette addicts can quit if they really have a consistent intention, because as far as I know smokers who have been said to be addicted they will not be easy to stop smoking But you are right in saying that quitting smoking might save money,  because what I know is that someone who has smoked does not look at the price of the cigarettes they like, as long as they still smoke they will buy them even in difficult circumstances.

I also doubt they can quit smoking by just watching motivational speeches,  in my opinion motivational speeches are more directed towards entrepreneurship, but if for smoking I think there must be a desire from yourself first And quitting gambling also in my opinion can benefit us from health, because of course everyone knows smoking is damaging to health, especially with our lungs.
Indeed, the first thing is the desire of a smoker, but it is not easy for them to implement their desires if they are addicted to smoking.
It is true that any motivation or theory will not be able to make someone stop smoking unless they themselves start with strong intentions.
It is very difficult for someone who is a cigarette addict to stop even though they are aware of the losses they get from smoking, which is quite surprising to me.

Because any thing and any change can only be changed when they have a strong will and desire in themselves, smoking is a habit that can make a person addicted because it can make a person dependent to keep doing it, as some smokers I know say that smoking can increase enthusiasm and calmness in themselves, I don't know the other reasons but that's definitely one of the reasons I heard. And I think there are levels of addiction experienced by smokers, where I see one of my two friends where he doesn't worry too much when he doesn't have cigarettes but my other friend he is the opposite where he feels anxious and worried when he doesn't have money to buy cigarettes and from that I can already conclude that smoking seems to have become a part of life for those who are already addicted, and however I think it is a problem that is difficult to overcome if it is basically a habit that they like.
952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most challenges faced by gamblers on online casino platforms? on: February 18, 2024, 02:23:00 PM
We may also consider that there is no fair play in most of the online casinos that is why it is so hard to get winnings in there. Most of the time you will get this losing streak in favor of the platform or the owner rather than you win the traditional way.
You have accepted their rules of the game, you will also need to accept the unfairness and give up all your advantages with them, and you can also see how the majority of players challenge this unfairness, always looking for a strategy, always increasing capital and always overthrowing such an empire, of course, this unfair design also has a few points that will allow players to infiltrate and seek benefits. Don't like being involved in such a losing streak, can only go to sports, where fairness is more important, but no matter what, their long-term capital still takes several decades to drain.

I would just call the unfairness a situation where I was really "unlucky", meaning that I was unlucky enough to be one of the many gamblers who fell victim to the cunning of the casino, and there is nothing else we can do but accept the situation we are in, and however the acceptance factor within is indeed recommended when you are involved in gambling because this is a preparation for the bad impact or defeat that occurs at the end of the session that can never be avoided completely.

On the other hand I think we can never measure whether the game is fair or not because you will never know and can't measure that what you are doing is right or wrong when you are in the middle of a session so this is what makes when you expect to win with everything you do but the result is losing, after all gambling is a gambling activity that has no certainty whatsoever about the outcome, so I can't claim that the casino is unfair except for technical issues such as account freezing or withdrawal process failure.
953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: February 18, 2024, 01:10:24 PM

Yes because quitting is the real best way if you do not want to suffer any financial problems as a result of gambling, this is really recommended and if you can do it then do it as soon as possible, do not let yourself stay in a zone that will harm yourself in the end. And on the other hand if you don't want to suffer any amount of losses in the long run then obviously I would advise anyone to quit or retire from gambling, because there is no such thing as fun if you already feel that you are experiencing some problems in your finances as a result of gambling and it could be that you have the wrong approach that is having that impact on you.

Diverting your attention to other things when you are losing or when you really want to quit gambling activities is a really effective alternative in my opinion, and I am one of the gamblers who recovered from addiction in this way, in the sense that I always try to divert and occupy my time with many other activities, do not let yourself see or be associated with anything that smells of gambling because it can re-interest you and your curiosity to return to gambling.

Yeah right, while you can still control it's better to quit and move away instead of pushing yourself forward and keep trying your luck, there are times where we really can't control and even we have already set our limitation we still exceed, and if you'll going to keep allowing that, chances that you may fall to heavy addiction can be the next thing that you will suffer.

And as we speak about diverting your interest, it's a self-define action that can really help to avoid getting too much engage and suffer with addiction.

Yes that's the main point, because after all it's useless to gamble if you basically have a lot of financial problems and as I said above that if you really feel such problems then I'm sure that you have a wrong approach to gambling, while on the other hand gambling will only be fun if you come without putting any expectations on winning and not putting any seriousness, some people just make gambling as a place to fill their spare time when they are off work and I also now always do it and I really feel that I do not suffer from any problems in finance because I only need or spend a small amount is enough to get entertainment, and if you have a serious problem it means it seems like you have a goal to earn there.

So the point is I hope you or anyone can really reach the realization to consider this and also to make a decision that is the best decision you should make for your long-term safety such as quitting. On the other hand as I said earlier that I am one of those gamblers who recovered from addiction, I didn't ask for anyone's help in terms of figuring out how to overcome it and I just took some time to find a really quiet place where I could think clearly and eventually I found that occupying yourself with other things in order to take your mind off the temptation to gamble really makes sense because then you will lose the attraction to gambling slowly.

Whether you do like it or not, there would really be those impulsive actions that would happen along the way. We are just humans and we do really know that money is really that too important in things
in life on which it would really be something that would really be needed up for you to avoid on losing it that much but since we are dealing up with gambling then it would really be just that normal
to have those kind of approach and on the time that we do have a losing bet then this is where things starts to be messy on which those reactions would be common. We are just humans and
those reactions would really be natural. The main issue on here is about having that self control on which we know that not all would really be good at that.

The money was the key for the gambling addiction,because of the gambling loss the gamblers get addicted to the gambling site.The gamblers can be able to recover from the gambling addiction after they get save the money from that gambling site.Until they the loss from the gambling site,the gamblers will start to use all the money into the gambling site again and again.Because the gamblers keep on worry about the money was loss in the gambling site.They will think about the fact how loss money used in real life.They also think why they keep on playing the game which give them lose continuously.

Yes because the object of victory in gambling is money and on the other hand everyone needs money to keep their lives so obviously this is what makes gambling can make anyone addicted, and people who are addicted are those who always expect to win or multiply the amount of money they bring, most gamblers think that they will be able to get instant wealth just by gambling, when in reality it is NOT at all, gambling is a trick of hope wrapped in opportunities.

What is the problem and what causes a person to be addicted is the lack of understanding of what gambling really is, they only underline that gambling is a place to change the fate in life by utilizing opportunities, but they do not understand that opportunities are just "possibilities" which means there is absolutely no certainty to become a reality and it will really happen when you are lucky. I understand that gambling provides opportunities for you to earn money, but the fact that there is no certainty means that you won't be able to win that often, and it means that only "chance" situations can lead you to victory, and this is one of the reasons why gambling is not a place to earn.

When it comes to gambling then there's always that negative point of view on which it do came from the society or into religious aspects on which it isnt really that new anymore.It would really be just that depending on a certain individual whether they would really be continuing on trying out to make deal with it or they would really be just simply avoiding it because of those reasons.
In talking about being generous then this would really be that depending on a certain type of person on which we do know that not all would really be that generous into their gambling activity
on which most people would really be greedy or really just that right that they will really be the ones who would really be cherishing out their wins rather than
on tending to share up with other people. Only a few would be considering those acts.

Ye it is mostly society or other people that you interact would most likely see gambling as a bad thing.

I just hope when people win big they share their money with others as part of helping the other. Matter of fact generous after winning big can have numerous positive effects, both for yourself and for others

No other bad point of view can occur or can be owned by the general public because of the many gamblers who are irresponsible in treating their gambling activities or simply gambling addicts create or make gambling activities a very negative activity in the eyes of society, all of this is because of the impact experienced by most addicts so that society sees it as a very concerning situation and claims that gambling is a bad activity that should not be done.

So it is possible for you to end up being claimed as a person with a bad personality when the community finds out that you are involved in gambling, no matter if you are one of the responsible gamblers in the sense that you always apply the recommended things that will be able to keep you in the safe zone and avoid addiction, still the community's point of view will be negative towards you and some of them may stay away from you. Sharing some of your winnings with others is a good thing even though it is basically the money you get from gambling, but what we see here is your determination and good intentions that want to share with others.

-snip-
I believe that before one make a decision in life, they should've already weighed the consequences of making the right or wrong choice, then put their fate on luck coupled with their little knowledge concerning what they're about to decide on, so why complain and play the blame game when things go wrong?
Gambling will always remain gambling, it is an activity that could go either way, so everyone should get prepared for it or just excuse themselves out of it before they start the blame game. What determines your winning in gambling are primarily two, which are your expertise about it and luck. And what you require in them is determined by the kind of games you are playing, so it is best that we weigh our options and risks involved before we proceed. This goes a long way in helping us as gambling is never a thing of force, it is all about the game of choice, and if you've decided as an adult to go for it, you should also accept the risk involved, and not blame others. It's all about you.

And eventually, if you lose through it, you should take heart, because it is either you win or you lose, and if you lose, the house wins, and if you win, the house loses, so no one should cry foul between you and the house so far they do not cheat you. I deeply knew about gambling before I started and this has been helping me till today. It helps me not to be addicted to it and also not to believe that I can get rich with it. This mindset alone has helped me to be more managerial in my gambling and I've never been so engrossed by it to the point that I will be so miserable to be shifting blame. That's just not maturity.
Acceptance and realizations would be they key and this is something which is really that recommended when you are dealing with gambling. You wont really be putting yourself in trouble if you are really just that good on handling up these kind of situations on which it would really be that best on having  that kind of moderation and control is a must on a certain individual. I've been dealing or engaging with gambling for a long time
and i could tell to myself that i wasnt been able to comes into a point that becoming addicted or able to blame out someone just because of the unfortunate conditions that i have been able to experience. If you are someone who do have that kind of personality on which doesnt really accept defeat then you would definitely be having those kind of issues on which you would really be loving on pointing out fingers and this is why it would really be that best that moderation will really be the key.

True, the awareness and acceptance that you mentioned is indeed very important and must be applied in everyone when they are involved in gambling, not least because it is by having good acceptance that it will help you to minimize the possibility of uncontrolled emotions when you are in a losing situation and this will be useful to minimize the possibility of significant losses that should not be done, and also you can more easily do or decide on precautions like this when you are in a level of awareness.

By being a responsible gambler then this will help you to avoid the possibility of addiction which is indeed the point where a person experiences a lot of problems especially in his finances, not only that because it is very likely that you also experience depression or stress due to not being able to withstand the pressure of various problems that come and the rest I strongly agree with the idea of your statement that acceptance and awareness is one of the keys to avoiding the possibility of addiction.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investment in gambling on: February 18, 2024, 02:53:59 AM

Do you know why most of the people gambles? Because they can't afford to invest, with gambling, if you are lucky, you can easily grow your money to 10 folds, or even 100 folds in just a short period of time, and that cannot happen when investing in a gambling platform. Investing is only for people who have a decent capital, and now, most of the gambling sites already have their private investors, so it's not anymore feasible for small time investors.

Actually, if we like to invest, rather choose a different industry because investing in gambling are only for those big capitalist. IMO, it's even better to invest on crypto (bitcoin or altcoins) as it could sometimes go x10 or x100.
People gamble because they want to get big wins, especially because maybe they have often seen advertisements that show other people have succeeded in getting big wins from gambling. That makes them come to the casino and play the same games as those people who won. Unfortunately, they are unlucky and only experience losses, but that doesn't stop them from gambling because they will always deposit more money than before. After all, they still want to chase that big win. But if they can think ahead, they can divert money from gambling to investments where they can hope to make a profit from their investment, especially if they invest in bitcoin.

Investing in bitcoin has shown the huge profits they can get, and many people have been able to get big profits from investing in bitcoin. They should realize that they should allocate more money to invest in Bitcoin, and they can still gamble with enough money. If they lose a gambling game, they do not need to try to recover their losses but rather accept their defeat and leave the casino.

I do not agree. People will not always bet for big wins. Sometimes it's just a person having fun without such great intentions. Playing the same games that people have already played and won a lot of money is natural, anyone does it.

There are two types of gamblers who have different goals in their gambling activities where some of them come only to seek entertainment and pleasure through the sensations they get and most of the others those who come to earn, I am forced to say that "most" gamblers prioritize earning over pleasure, one of the reasons is that few people are able to understand what is meant by "winning opportunities" in gambling and that is the reason why I say most gamblers come with the intention of earning. Of these two objectives it is clear however that I would rather advise anyone to choose the first point that I mentioned above that it is better to gamble for fun without putting any seriousness, because the logic is that if you are lucky enough then you will also be able to win a certain amount.
958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? on: February 18, 2024, 02:19:33 AM
There is no fun in gambling when you come to earn, even if there is you will definitely not pay much attention and feel it because fun is not your goal, and I can already confirm that when you have the intention and purpose of gambling to earn then obviously the number of trials will definitely be more than gamblers who come just for leisure and also with the aim of fun. and certainly is that you will end up suffering a lot of stress from the many losing situations you experience, we must understand that gambling is a "possible" activity which means there is no certainty that you can always win and when you don't win, In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're going to be doing and what you're going to be doing.

This is why it is always advisable not to put any expectations or goals other than fun in gambling, because if you are too serious especially with the goal of earning then obviously the number of tries will be more frequent while the overall victory always depends on how lucky you are in running the session, no matter how skilled you are because luck is an important aspect in gambling. The point is as I said that fun will turn into tension when you have the goal of earning.
959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: February 18, 2024, 01:18:59 AM
In gambling what matters is the money, gambling every day it depends on what you have, because someone that gamble almost every day or every time knows his target and also his source of income from my own understanding, is not that is bad to gamble every day but what matters most is do you have the cash to gambling every time, since you have what you are doing that gives you money I will advice you to gamble every day, so if you don't have what is giving you money every day I will advice you not to gamble because it might push you to another thing like stealing, so let us gamble according to our income I think that it will be proper for you.

The main point you make is about money which is a requirement for anyone who wants to engage in gambling and everyone knows that, and honestly I don't care if you have enough income or not or even if you are one of the rich people who don't have money problems in the end still the idea of gambling every day is an idea that is not recommended and should not be done, why? Obviously because it can make your financial situation destroyed over time, I understand that victory must be in between gambling sessions that you do but believe me that there is no way in a week you can successfully get a victory, simply put in 7 days maybe you can only get 1/2 a day of victory and that means the remaining 5 days are losing and please calculate yourself then you will find that the number of losses is far greater than the victory, and is not this an action that should not be done? of course, everyone needs money and they don't like losing, so avoid silly ideas like this. So the point is to set boundaries on many fronts, not just on the budget amount but also on the time of engagement.
960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: February 18, 2024, 12:51:22 AM
It is going to be a cycle that they can't get rid off.

When they want to gamble and then for that reason is because they want to recover, they will never recover. Let's say some of them finally have recovered but out of the many, how many actually did? maybe really a few amount of gamblers.

Realizing their state and how gambling works will make them analyze themselves if they're still on track or no longer on it and that's why they need to control no matter how long it will take.
They can break the cycle by not gambling for a while and diverting their minds to doing other things so they never think about gambling. This circle must be broken immediately so that they can see that they still have a chance to overcome their gambling problem, but they must also have a strong desire to solve it. If the reason they want to recover is instead playing gambling again, that will never help but will instead make them unable to heal themselves and there is a possibility that they will experience a gambling addiction. There must be awareness and intention to overcome their gambling problem so that they can start looking for ways to overcome their gambling problem.

Actually breaking the cycle by diverting attention to other things is not difficult to do but sometimes it's not easy to do, I mean the gamblers themselves don't want to break the cycle, one of the reasons is that they are unable to accept the fact of losing beforehand which in the end as we know that most of them even take some actions to pursue the recovery phase which is actually quite impossible if you do it in gambling. So what needs to be addressed first is the acceptance of the fact of losing because this is the only way you can do things like take your eyes off gambling for the next few days and come back to it when the mood improves. I think this action really won't apply to someone who has entered the addiction phase because they are typical  gamblers who find it difficult to accept the reality of losing, and on the other hand if your goal is to recover from gambling then you need to really make sure whether your intention is really strong or not, because sometimes there are also people who say they want to recover from gambling but they say it when they are in a losing situation, in the sense that their mind is emotional and that's bullshit.
