Online gambling gives portability and comfortability than the offline casino but doesn't provide some of the good things of life offline casino possess. Although nobody is restricted from using the offline casino, the online players can switch to physical casino any moment they feel lonely. However, not everybody has the ability to start or hold conversations with other people, hence the offline casino may not be a conducive place for them, regardless. Hence, it's crucial that gamblers who intend to make fun while using the physical casino should be able to engage and approach people. But if they have a clique already, it wouldn't be a hassle to get fun there. I think most online gamblers are comfortable with the provision of the opportunity to gamble online. Other requirements are secondary, the aim has been achieved. Gambling and getting paid online is what matters.
The difference between online and offline gambling is not much a chance to socialize with other people and enjoy the entertainment on offer at physical betting shops. But it is true that online gambling is more popular than offline in today's era with the advancement of technology and everyone feels more comfortable like offline gambling no need to present themselves a gambler can enjoy online gambling from his own home. And here the information is easy to keep secret. In the physical casino, everyone knows everything and all the hearts of the society come out.

On that perspective, the offline casino unveils most of the results or information of the player, like his face, earnings etc. I mean everyone would know the person as a gambler, compared to the online casino. Where the gambler can conceal his gambling habit to himself, while risking his personal information to KYC. Having this is mind, you'd understand that no place is safe; online or offline. Since the government insists on KYC online casinos lost its privacy feature. But the player is safe from his loved one or friends knowing that he's into gambling. That's what you're talking about, it makes a good difference. In the world of today, people who go to offline casinos, may not really go out to the society or our environment with a microphone telling them about seeing us in a casino. Things look mature.

A player who doesn't want such visibility, can go to a distant casino far from his house or neighborhood and gamble. If he's a social being, enough, he'd get more fun playing offline than online. It now depends on the gambler. The online space is mainly for gamblers who don't have the energy to associate with friends, in the offline casino. Hence, they wish to continue their habit at home to keep things safe and secure about their behavior. Although it strived during the locked down period, but that may have been the reason for online casino. A place for less social people to spend time gambling, at the serenity of their home. Nothing else can be offered to the players, he's social activity now depends on him. Online casino puts every other responsibility on the player, aside, providing games, support, and chat box.

That's reachable, gamblers can get addicted if they do it every day, but not gamblers. Although the player may seem to be addicted, in the eyes of people around him, because they conclude he won't go a day without gambling. Addiction is not about how many days the person gambles. It has to do mental strength and self-control. A person that gambles everyday can decide to stay weeks without gambling, due to some new developments in their personal life. But an addict will find it hard to spare a minute without gambling. However, those bad players who wager money every day on a game, may not get what they want. Looking at their reactions you'd understand that a companion maybe what they want, when trying to tell others about their gambling technique.

It's a boring habit to gamble for a long time each day. The duration is an important factor whenever we gambler, not just the regularity of our gambling actions. If I gambler 5 hours every day wagering little money, it's closely impossible to get in trouble, compared to when I gambler for more than 10hrs wagering big amount of money. Regardless of how big our bank roll is, gambling for long hours every day can affect the gambler's behavior, to lose control of himself. Sometimes it's not about the funds, though contributes a lot, the consistency can get used to the body and brain of the gambler. Such that staying a day without gambling could cost the appetite of the gambler, until he gambles. To them it'll be more like a wasted time, for staying days without gambling.

In my opinion, if they do it every day, it indicates that they are addicted and crazy which leads to addiction. what you say is true, but even so, in my opinion, if they do it like that, it is possible that what they are doing is also a path to addiction, or it also triggers them to become addicted to gambling, and what is certain is that you are gambling every day in my opinion is not a good thing.,

I myself don't have such principles, because in my opinion if someone is like that then it is a way to speed up their addiction to gambling. with them determining a certain time as you said, gambling with 5 hours and with small capital. But my question is, with the small capital you use, can it last for the specified time? What if the capital you used has already run out, but you still have hours left to gamble, will you deposit the money back or not?
because the chance of winning at gambling is small, so the possibility is that you will lose, and indirectly the small capital you use will certainly not last long.

Wagering few cents out of a small amount of money would take a gambler more than 5 hours duration in a gambling session. It all depends on the gambler to have the energy to stay on screen and enjoy his game. Remember he won't lose out on all his wagers or predictions. Hence his winnings can be added to the bank roll. The strategy would be stopping once 5 hours has exhausted. If the person does this every day, it's quite a long time, but if he possesses strong discipline, he won't get addicted. The other good side of it, is that the gambler needs to take some break at some point. His brain would begin to reset to normal, if it was thinking abstractly and going towards addiction. Since it has to do with mental disorder, many factors affect a gambler to get addicted which has less to do with how consistently he gambles. Anxiety, real life challenges, can lead a gambler to get addicted.

Especially when the problem or challenge is distracting him mentally, such that he gambles without any ethic or self-control. If he wagers all his money in the process, faster than he should have done in his right mental state, at some point he'd get sad over it and get depressed in essence. From the little experiences available to me, mental disorder doesn't have round the clock. Sometimes the victim gets to realize himself for some minutes. During those periods he begin to question he actions, and in the process of trying to recover the brain issues starts again. Therefore, you may hear them say no to gambling, but in the next hour you'll find the person gambling again. These things may not have been caused the moment they began to gamble every day. But, at the very few weeks they started gambling. It could be the real-life problem is the primary reason they started gambling.

I believe that what you intended typing here is "Gambling should be played in such a way that the gambling does not control us but that we control the gambling". We should be in total control of whatever choices we make and whatever things we get involved in. Gambling is a voice made by everyone that engages in it, nobody is a born gambler, our gambling habits is a reflection of our choices and our rate of responsibility or irresponsibility ass the case may be.  Gambling addiction is a display of irresponsibility by gamblers and the fact that your family is being victimized because of your gambling choices increases the measure of your irresponsibility.

The deprivation that the family faces, especially the children creates resentment in their minds and the build up rather quickly until they completely hate the parent for the negligence on their part. Gambling addicts in this category doesn't have good relationships with their children and that may possibly lead to the children abandoning that parent and never wanting anything to do with them. Such gambler suffers great loneliness at old age (that's if they ever get old) and only few of them ever gets the chance of reconciling with their families.
Yes, gambling must be controlled by us so that we don't lose self-control when gambling. Many people end up losing control of themselves, which causes them to become addicted to gambling. This must be taken seriously so that we can reduce the level of desire to gamble and also not use gambling beyond its limits. We are the ones who choose to gamble, so we should be able to be responsible in gambling so that we don't experience problems with losing money or getting addicted to gambling. If we can gamble responsibly, we will not cause problems for our families, especially as our children will not follow us in gambling.

Children will experience the hardest consequences of gambling because apart from seeing their parents gambling, they are also likely to see their parents separating or divorcing because of the problems triggered by gambling. It is not gambling that is wrong, but the person is at fault because they have used gambling excessively, causing them to experience difficulties in their lives. These children will experience emotional disturbances because they may also see violence occurring in their house, especially when their parents lose at gambling and blame everything on the people in their house.

Indeed, it won't be a sound encounter for the growing children. Coming from a family where the head is addicted. What then would be the fate of the child. Not all the children will get addicted or follow the ways of their father, but it'll be a hard experience on the end of the child. As he'll think bad of gambling and those thoughts could affect the brain of the child. I could remember a thread of a guy angry over what happened to his addicted father. He in the thread, wasn't addicted, but he has no reason to give gambling a chance one bit. He may have taken the best choice, most people would say, but on the long run it's bad to hate an activity dreadfully. Not saying it's his fault, no. The father is the bad player and has proven himself an irresponsible gambler, for making his family hate gambling because of him.

This era should be the best time for parents who engage in gambling, to fight for the wellbeing of their children. To make sure they don't get addicted into gambling, or understand what gambling is about, and not have hatred on gambling. Following the trend, and how fast the gambling industry is growing, most family will have at least two gamblers, and a society a few more gambling addicts. This can be controlled with the help of the society, making a strict rule against problem gambling. So, that the kids growing up would know what's in for them if they ever get addicted in Gambling. Addiction is quietly disturbing the growth of the society's economy. Addicted players should be looked into and helped out of their struggles.

The internet itself is really a huge distraction despite how huge it could help a child's education. Even adults are not safe from gambling risks.
Protecting the kids from gambling risks is now essential they should not engage in gambling and win big in their first game because this is exactly the reason why a person will try to keep on gambling in hopes that he can win bigger than before.

I have a kid that I have to keep the conversation really alive and interesting just so he will come with me walking in the park and not just watching youtube and playing his phone.

You have a point, that's why it's better to have a guidance and proper conversation between parents and kids nowadays. It is important to answer their questions and curiosities if they have , so that they will not seek answers from other people which usually turns to become one of the reason why they know how to engage in this kind of activity, Usually some other kids really wants to find an answer by the help of the internet which cause them a lot to become more curious, that's why having one on one conversation will easily help them to know and to understand why they shouldn't try gambling.
Due to technology today on which this particular aspect would really be that normal or really just that there would really be missed handling of our children as a parent on which i could really tell this basing up on real experience on which there's no way that you could really be able to monitor every single move and actions made out by our children on which it would really be just that right that you should really know on what are your responsibilities on how to handle them up. Dont make yourself that easily give up because its part of us as a parent.
Anything could really be that destructive if we wont really be that careful when it comes to those possible things that could affect out on the way.

A child grows according to the life in and outside his society. The training a child gets at home, differs from what the society would teach him. That's why they're complications between parent child relationship, in recent days the teachings don't corollate. In the past, if I may assume, before the invention of electricity and internet, parents still had to battle gambling addiction with their kids. Casinos existed, and if it wasn't there then, people gambled on their own, in different games like football, wrestling, bull fight etc. It may have been the growth of man up to this stage that youths and adults will gamble. These days it has been innovated to suit the recent technology which the world is so fascinated about, the internet. To get the attention of the child, it's mainly about video games, or online videos.

All they want is a device to keep them busily happy. While parents tend to change the life of their ward to focus on books or choose to ask them questions other than google, they need to provide the time between them and their kids. Children want their parents around them, they want to grow close to their parent. But have been denied of such privilege what would the child do when his parents are not at home to teach him. He runs to google for any unanswered question that's bothering him. There he can get some ads pointing to a site he may be too tender to visit. Like gambling. If he had some close relationship, they would voluntarily tell them about the site he's visiting. It rarely happens. Most kids keep it to themselves, trying to make their parents proud with a huge gambling win.

-Snip -
Fact and they will continue to play in order to have the last which in reality it usually the gambling center that has it until they are able to wake up to reality and accept defeat in order to have a sense of reason.
Something that is not needed in the society and gamblers need to respect their instincts not just in decision making, but in seting up an accurate score.
This is the reason why I stopped depending on sure odds, after past experience that made me stop gambling before I came back again though now even if I use it now, I don't bother much about it but I usually place bet on my own and I'm becoming better now.

A good number of them don't realize they're not living a real life, thinking of gaining all their money from the casino. It's part of the goal to try winning, but not about a competition or looking at the result of other people. Or going too far as purchasing predictions. I think gamblers are taking it too far, forgetting that they'll need to follow some good gambling routines, able to help them stay away from problem gambling and they wouldn't have a deal with having patience in their gambling journey. Which should be a great means of escaping addiction. The activities gamblers feed their brain as regards to gambling doesn't help their thoughts. As gamblers we need to understand the behavioral effects of the strategies, we take on the umbrella of winning big in gambling. It begins to get used to the brain to act in those ways during gambling.

The gambler may be thinking he's still on the driver's seat of his behavior but won't realize he's acting out involuntarily to some of his moves. Until he can't regret it anymore, then just continue that way without control. It gets normalized in his brain. That's why the person's behavior begin to change and adapt to the new gambling behavior. He wouldn't mind any other exercise of life. Some would forget to eat. So, if gamblers begin to reduce the extra actions, they make to win big, they'll be learning gambling and understand how to behave as a gambler. Depending on our prediction would work fine and help us decide our next moves properly. Doing the observations and research at our leisure time, the brain will be adjusting to a better shade of reasoning. Other than misbehavior.

I realize that nowadays many younger generations are involved in online gambling which is easier in accessibility of casinos they like and even simpler which is not so complicated if you want to play in online casinos.

There are many impacts where they lose money, I think it's normal more they certainly don't want to be a productive person, don't want to work, have no other activities other than gambling because they only hope for luck if they want their money to come again, actually this has been a lot and separated from their parents because they don't care or they don't know their children often play in online casinos.

Now there are still many parents who still don't understand about technology now so only the children know, where when the child is involved in gambling the parents are just silent because they don't know anything, maybe they don't know there are online casinos.
Yes, currently there are many young people who participate in the world of gambling and there are even quite a few who do it, as is the case in my environment, many young people understand about online gambling and do it in hangout places and this is something that is commonplace among the younger generation nowadays. now and most of them are unemployed and only rely on gambling as their source of income and the gambling they play is slots where the game only relies on uncertain luck.

Not all parents understand technology nowadays, some do, some don't and usually the age factor can be a particular reason, for parents who understand technology and understand online gambling, they can definitely limit their children from gambling. But for parents who don't understand technology and don't understand what online gambling is, they don't know what their children are playing so they can't prevent their children or forbid them from gambling.

Parents have lots of work to do in the society, although the current parents who don't know much about the tech world, have done their best, but seems they failed in their teachings regarding the use of gadgets for longer period. Hence, a new set of parenthood would be emerging soon, which include the tech savvies and computer trained people. Then we'd know if the problem is from the parents or the schools. It may be the fault of the parents to some extent, but the society has a lot of duties to do with young people to stop their excessive engagement in gambling. Most of them hide these activities from their parents, and it's getting out of hand, even in the recent world economy, parents hardly spend time with kids. Both parents go to work for long hours, some do shift, to get more money to settle the family bills and take care of the child.

While they're away to work the child may engage in different activities due to boredom. Going out with friends and peers, is their best fun time. So, it'll be a tough thing to change the mindset of most young people to begin to see gambling for it truly is, other than a way of earning money. Online casino has made it very simple for youths to gamble excessively and get addicted in the process. Many youths are lonely and have nothing doing, that's why they spend their stipends or pocket money gambling. However, other youths are getting deeply addicted to video games. Which is about to ruin the social lives of the young people in the society. The electricity lifestyle has pushed the society to a way different level and things are expected to remain the same.
987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 22, 2024, 08:33:30 AM
It is possible that it can happen, because there is luck in gambling that can make them win but of course it cannot be guessed or predicted accurately it seems impossible also with those who have some of them who think that the more they lose the possibility of getting big can be obtained,  I think that with them having thoughts like that there is no effect even in my opinion it is just a sentence of encouragement for those who like to gamble. 
That can indeed happen if they are lucky,  but in my opinion, even so the chance of losing is still superior to the chance of winning and if they change games they will most likely get the same thing, namely losing,  and with luck it is also impossible to predict. or predicted well.
Luck indeed play a role in determining the outcome of a gambling session, but predicting or relying on it consistently is impossible. The notion that more losses increase the chances of a big win is a common misconception which is often fueled by the belief in a kind of "luck balance" that needs to be restored. In most games of chance, each outcome is independent, and past results do not influence future ones. The chance of losing is generally greater than the chance of winning aligns with the statistical reality of many gambling scenarios.

Responsible gambling and the inherent risks are crucial aspects of fostering a healthy approach to this form of entertainment. While luck can lead to wins, it's essential to acknowledge that outcomes are largely unpredictable, and any encouragement suggesting otherwise may be based more on optimism than on a realistic assessment of the odds. those are a reminder for people who engaged in gambling activities to approach them with a clear understanding of the uncertainties involved and to enjoy the experience responsibly.

Gamblings games likes slot depends on luck and every player need to follow some certain precautionary measures to at least avoid not being dependent on luck alone but handle their winnings or losses such that they wouldn't lose out all the money they've got in their bank roll. Luck isn't something that keeps appearing all the time, most times, the player wouldn't have any other option than to continue playing until he gets his big win. Which then leaves the gambler to continue gambling despite losing his money in the process. While luck plays a vital role in gambling, the gambler needs to take away such thoughts, once a while to at least enjoy the game of gambling. It's better he wagers smaller amount of money to maintain his money not to get bankrupt due to gambling. And hoping on luck.

The odds are not certain, yes, anything could be the outcome, but the trouble is then how people envision the game of gambling. Because on the long run the gamblers end up losing, so revolving their thoughts on winning alone, the person may not be equipped enough with strong emotions to battle with the disappointments awaiting them. One would think his got no luck for gambling. And maybe wants to prove to himself that he's got some luck left in him. That is one reason some gamblers keep gambling despite losing. There are lots of the reasons to that, some may not care about the luck thing or how much money is there for them to win or lose. They only gamble for the fun and the hidden lesson a player can learn through gambling.
988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: January 22, 2024, 08:01:12 AM
Well for starters loneliness can cause so many things, I mean it's just like a popular saying in my part which implies loneliness or an idle mind is the devil workshop which to Some extend is quite true . So yesterday I was really bored and didn't exactly even know what to do so I was just trying out things that would keep my mind occupied and all of a sudden my friend told me that he is also bored that he has some pair cash that the gambling house would be a perfect place to go and atleast have some fun since the cash isn't having any significant value and that was how loneliness and boredom took to go play some game of card which if you ask can really cause someone to be addicted if not control.
And this means that in order to avoid this happening to us we need to develop a new set of hobbies, since this will take our minds away from engaging in dangerous behaviors, and what is funny about all of this is that if a person did it then not only they will alleviate their boredom, but most likely they will end their loneliness as well, as with so many interesting things you do, you will find other people that will like to share their time with you.

That's very true friend, I agree with you that in any case the first thing that must be addressed is the root of the problem, as you said and you give good advice that if we want to avoid several actions that could possibly lead to dangerous activities then Obviously the main point that must be justified is to eliminate the feeling of loneliness within oneself. I understand that some people are unemployed and don't know what they should do to avoid feeling lonely, but with the alternative of looking for a new hobby, this can be  considered, even though we are unemployed and don't have a job, but as long as we can still move, I think there's no harm in Do something else instead of locking yourself in your room where in the end there is great potential for you to think about trying your luck at gambling. In my opinion, we will not have too much difficulty taking any preventative measures if we are aware from the start and can identify the dangerous impacts of something like  gambling..

A lonely person looking out for some hobby can begin by trekking around his town and seeing new faces. It helps in building stamina and relaxes the emotions. Staying alone without doing anything, is quite a luxury, but it affects the thoughts of the person. And if the person is a gambler, he'd have a hard time controlling himself from gambling. Since, he's actually in the search for what to do, hence gambling would be the only option in the presence of no other activity. So, loneliness in most senses like what Op explained in his thread could affect the gambler's thoughts, and only the long run even if he wasn't a gambler can begin to gamble. There, his troubles may erupt, and he'd be wondering over what his new lifestyle has become.

And without any experience of gambling wouldn't want to share his trouble with people around him, I mean he's lonely nobody to talk to in the first place. That's quite a tough situation to be in as human. Not having friends around us to communicate our troubles or problems to. Speaking out the problem to someone else almost starts to solve the problem. But in a case of no help, I think the person would need to look out for a place where he'd get proper treatment. As staying indoors won't solve any problem for the person. Instead, it'll increase the trouble for the gambler to a difficult stage. Other things like heartbreak leads to loneliness and then gambling addiction. Having a companion or being a relationship can help a gambler who is lonely to escape addiction. We must not sitback at home and watch gambling addiction win the fight. 
989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do i handle my first gambling experience on: January 22, 2024, 07:38:24 AM
Hello senior citizens and my fellow newbies gambler's, now I gat a straight forward question for you all.
How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?
What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?
How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose?
Thank you all for your helpful opinions.

No need to be too complicated and maybe you already know that the first thing that all gamblers must prepare is a budget as a condition for getting involved, and another thing maybe I will slightly suggest that you must remain careful if you are already involved there because after all this is a very gambling that involves risks that can be far greater than what you imagine. So stick to very good risk management and be assertive there, and also I don't forget to remind that it's best to bring a very small budget amount in the sense that you won't feel too disappointed if it's lost.

I would not advise anyone to put too much hope in winning, because this will only make you feel too disappointed if you end up losing, on the other hand think of gambling as a place for you to fill your spare time when and bored and without bringing any seriousness to the involvement, keep your awareness and understand correctly what gambling is really about, I think this should be able to keep you safe, but if you don't do it then that's another thing.

You've shared quite a strong advice to Op, which contains most of the requirements needed for a newbie to deal with gambling. However, these tips demand experiences for Op to understand them completely. I've watched newbies who have gamblers around them gamble and still made mistakes. I think Op should get hold of the best advice here which is handling his feelings towards win or loss. Then act accordingly with self-control to how much he'd win or lose. Provided he's able to manage his bankroll for a substantial amount of time. His gambling experience will begin to grow. And his meant to have lesser reason to worry about his skills as he's not yet equipped with the right strategies. Truly, Op should expect making some mistakes, and don't rely only on what people has to say about his gambling journey.

The goal of every gambler aside winning big, for some, is not getting addicted. In addiction he should be prepared to know when to end his games, and not chase after the riches. Casinos own the money and carefully observe who to handover few of the money to as a way of advertising their business. Gradually as a gambler, one would get there, but not in a forceful means, which could lead to problem gambling on the long run for the gambler.  What op is to expects as a first-time gambler, would be same with his reactions after a win or lose. That's the primary problem of gamblers, and it has caused lots of players their time and money in gambling. The result triggers the brain like a substance, and the player if not disciplined enough would undergo a series of mistakes trying to get his funds back.
990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: January 22, 2024, 07:14:25 AM
Some people will easily hurt others because of their frustrations and when you partner it with losing in gambling it will be more serious and others are gonna be in trouble while they have a kind of that person in their house or community. I remember when I had a friend and he was good at playing pools because that's one of the sports in our community that they make bets out of while playing. My friend was just a young guy and when he won big money from those big men, they made some evil plot against him while he was going home and they took his money from him after seriously beating him in the middle of the road and that's only one example of persons that are not supposed to be playing games like that because they cannot handle the heat when they lose their money.

Hmm maybe your friend didn't gamble in a casino. It could be some indoor gambling competition between him and the big men. If it's the later, then the person was actually gambling with hot tempered gamblers. Who can't accept defeat. Or maybe the other men are cliques of friends that rip off a winner's money. That's the risk of gambling with friends, off the casino settings. The casino is there to guarantee that players would be paid after winning. Without facing any dispute with fellow gamblers. However, the offline casino is also not conducive for gamblers because of such attacks. I'd say that gamblers who win early should leave the premises, while the day is clear. This type of attacks happens during the night hours.

At least where I live pool bets are known scams and not one should participate in them, the scam is just a bait and switch scam in which the scammer fakes to play terribly and then gets in an altercation with another customer on a bar, then in order to settle their problems they play pool and make a high bet, and that is when they reveal their superior skill and scam hundreds of dollars out of unsuspecting victims, however if you were to win then they will follow you and rob you anyway, and for what I know this is a common scam all around the world so it is better to avoid those kind of bets completely.

Such games are not fair to gamblers, due to the type of people who participate in the game. I prefer playing pool with close friends, in a well-organized place. Many gamblers prefer wagering money on the game, but it's not advisable given the instance you mentioned above. It's common almost everywhere I've seen people gamble on such game. The outcome ends in chaos or a fight. However, those who participate in the game may have been used to such type of behavior from fellow players. It gets annoying to see the person who claimed to be a terrible player at first, losing the game, despite showing his super skills. He'll start the argument about his opponent not being educated enough about the rules of the game. Their aim is mainly to ruin the game or cause a fight.

Having such an experience, a gambler is not meant to be a participant in those kinds of games, as it's not conducive for everyone. They should have their type of people, those who are ready to fight over a game. Settings like that, should be avoided at all times as a responsible gambler who wants to enjoy the game, and make friends with fellow gambler. Such people also try to misbehave in casino, but the strict security rules chase them away often time, and they'll be left with no other option than to set up or spend time in bars where they can play pool games and fight over who wins or not. Although, those who rob winners in casinos, mainly stay close to where cars are parked, then rob the person once he's done gambling for the day. Preferably for casino users, it's best to go earlier during the day, or lodge in the casino hotel.

Patience only elongates the time required for some certain factors like cash to finish. Gamblers have many things to bother about, and amongst it include emotional trauma or psychological disorder. With patience, these things can be reduced, and gradually fade away. But, in different contexts one would think of having patience, with his big wins. That only gets the gambler into a bigger trouble. As he may not have been utilizing the need for being patience, which has to do with every gambling factor. Workers have patience waiting for their pay day, but gambling is not a work, as mindrust said. Considering it as an occupation only makes the process difficult for the gambler. He'd be better off, gambling with the need to expand his thinking horizon. Other than as a means to increasing his bank account, as the dream may not be achieved.

Gambling offers lots of promising possibilities that money shouldn't be the priority of any gambler. If treated as it should, gambling would uplift the thoughts of the gambler, and he'd make good life decisions. We all know that life has some coloration with gambling, and at some point, in a real-life situation that needs two options, we can use our gambling skill to dissolve the dispute. Neglecting for the sake of money the good aspect of gambling and all profitable knowledge it has to offer; the player would be easily addicted due to anxiety. Because in gambling money is not assured. The person won't be satisfied gambling and not meeting up with his goals of earning huge money. Aside that, with patience the gambler if serious and dedicated to learning good gambling strategy, would learn easily with lesser troubles.
Truly gambling should be done for fun but in reality it's far from it, alot of people have depend on it as source of income while others as a means of getting rich quickly which is far from it and alot of people have suffered from it and most times ruin their lives then blame it on gambling or something else instead of accepting their false view on it.

The fact is no one should be sad about this issue of early cashout since we have seen were this has been excellent decision and other time, such as Op experience a regretful decision but the truth is, this is better for risk management. Remember this is like greed, most times we win, we regret not staking more while in the next one when we stake much more we likely lose it. Its gambling don't regret it, if you win more or less than expected be grateful while if you lost don't worry much about it.

They now wave the cause of their problem gambling back to casinos. Which is also among the reason they keep going to the casino. Hopefully to beat the house, as a way of showing their revenge. The player would think chasing on the losses would make him one day a big winner. He'd have series of winnings, but lots of losses. Enough losses, that could make him think he's not meeting up with his expectations. It's sad indeed, not admitting that losing out all our money in pursuit for a win is sad, then we are not saying the truth. That's the reason why gamblers are advised to remove some thoughts in them, so that whenever they are faced with losses it wouldn't be a hassle or trouble.

Having the thoughts, creates a view in the brain of the gambler, which triggers him to gamble more money. At the end they'll regret their deeds. Which leaves the player with anxiety and distress. The trouble launches in the brain, making it a very dangerous situation for a person. The brain controls the world of a person. When it's been addicted to something as time and money consuming as gambling. Our behavior definitely would change, thereby rearranging the ideas or plans we had available for our future business plans. Greed is one factor that doesn't encourage the addicted person to rest or sleep. These challenges weaken the activeness and speed of the game. Thereby the gambler can easily misbehave in gambling without any remorse. Something that is not needed in the society and gamblers need to respect their instincts not just in decision making, but in seting up an accurate scores.

I have always been interested in reading research in psychology and social sciences, especially those dealing with gambling as a psychological and societal phenomenon. I can conclude that not all centers that care for addicts over a relatively long period of time are effective with high success rates. This conclusion is based on the opinion of experts that the patient should recover in an area of life that includes daily life interactions and not a center that provides suitable conditions for a specific period.

Treatment for addiction in general is a very complex process, especially for the type of “behavioral addiction,” because the rest of the dangerous types of addiction are subject to human chemistry, such as alcohol or drug addiction.

As far as I'm concerned, whenever a person is Treated with this, it is because basically things are going to be focused on a different type of treatment, that is, when they are in this type of Addiction, the first step is not to slander them, It can take away the anxiety they have, but how do they Get rid of it? with sleep treatments, that is, they put them to sleep for many hours until the person achieves total peace, and then if they are talked to so that they can enter their hard Treatment phase , which is basically telling them how they Should Share in a casino , how you Should bet, how you should do so that things do not get out of control , what days you should play, how many hours you should play, or how much money you should spend per day so that it does not affect your daily life, this is often done or done. In that way, of course I assume that this is under a clinic, a psychologist, and many people there to take care of them, because it is like something that they have to manage.

That is why this is so delicate, it is always about doing something about the gambling addiction, which is recommended if the person has all their senses at full capacity, because at any moment they will go off track and start doing things like going to the bathroom. casino, spend money, and you will spend much more, it is logical that you are in an addiction, when people speak to an addict sometimes the words go in one ear and come out the other, it is as if they were not spoken to, then This helps a lot when the so-called "sleep cures" are done , there is nothing like that, the person is as if on another level, the person is calmer, the person rests his mind sometimes that is just what is missing, rest the goal so that everything falls into place, or as I have said in other Messages , try to do sports and get very tired so that the mind feels that it must rest, it is the most logical thing and the most we should focus on doing, otherwise It will be very Difficult to control our addiction.


Putting the addicted person to sleep in the case of behavioral addiction, may be too much for a client that undergoes behavioral therapy. His normal sleeping time would be enough, then putting them to sleep. Aggressive patients are treated in this manner, to let their brain cool off. A player who still watches over his games, despite being an addict, can listen or follow the instruction of the therapist without no dispute. Those who get aggressive in the process, and go against the instruction of the therapist, because it doesn't align with theirs, can be sedated to sleep for a long time. When they're awake can be talked to gradually. The essence of doing this is that, before his strength or energy get restored, he may have been counselled by the therapist. Hence, he'll hardly get sad in the process, and will earn new friendship with the therapist.

Other than that, they'll be no reliable option to calming the agitated addict. The conversation with people, can be arranged within the clinic. Allowing the addict during his free time to share information with workers in the clinic, which can make him happy. Showing him different means of being happy, helps the player to realize gambling is not the only place to get fun. Gambling treatment is different from that of other addictions, but some measure can be similar due to the similar behavior of these set of people. That means addicted people, regardless of the source of their addiction may act in similar way and cannot be treated using same therapy method. Psychotherapy may work for all of them, addicts, but behavioral therapy is best for a gambling addict.
993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: January 21, 2024, 01:50:35 PM
How will I blame someone for a loss I have, anyone who have started the journey of gambling must be above the age of 16,and he must be solely responsible and accountable to every action he takes when it comes to selection of the game to play.i don't think anyone can ever be responsible for another person's loss in gambling because while playing,you must have already made up your mind that it's either you win or you loose,one thing must happen.The only way you can blame someone is maybe you gave a game to someone to play,and the person went ahead to play what you didn't predict,and the game eventually plays,one can be angry,and can probably blame who you sent to play the game for you.
We don't need to blame other people for the losses we experience from gambling. When we gamble, we already know that it will cause us to lose a certain amount of money and the more often we gamble, we can lose more money. We have to be responsible when playing gambling so we really have to have limits to prevent lots of losses. You can blame other people for forcing you to gamble, but that rarely happens because gambling depends on each person and there is no compulsion to gamble. So we have to be wise in responding to it and don't need to blame other people if we lose.

Gambling is made to be for adults for this same reason, to deduce the rate of complaints, blames and regrets from gamblers. It's not easy to spend hours in gambling, but we weren't forced or pushed to do it out of our will. However, while blaming people is wrong, taking responsibility is the right option as a gambler. Moving ahead with new motives and re arranging our lives is faster in recovering from our mistakes than any other method, such as regret. Some gamblers behave like this, due to the famous believe that one can be forced to do what they don't want to through their brain. In the sense that a friend who reminded or introduced them to gambling is at fault and should be blamed for their gambling addiction. The person has no explanation to make, but it's important to include these things in our discussions with non-gamblers.

Most of them don't have a strong foundation of gambling information before venturing into the niche. The choices remain with the gambler, not his friends. He wagered the money hoping for more money. If he won those games, would he have blamed his friends, or appreciate him for helping him get a win in gambling, no. People take responsibility only when there is a success, and blame others for their failure. I've experienced this, and concluded not to talk about gambling to people who are non-gamblers. Things may get sour along the line, they'll have me in mind, once the trouble begin. Tagging their friends in every complaint wouldn't be hard to them anymore. To stay on a safer side, it's better for the gambler to focus on changing his lifestyle for good and battle his addictive nature.
994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 21, 2024, 01:29:29 PM
True! That's one of the worst thing that you did because you used up your savings, in the end you might just end up in debt because you have already touched the money that you have. We can't say that even if we give an advice to someone, they will stay away from gambling, it's hard for them too but it depends on the situation and the determination of a gambler
Touching your savings just to gamble should be a very clear sign that things are wrong with you, as that is money that should not be touched for any reason other than to make an investment or an emergency, and since gambling does not fall into any of those two categories, anyone that does that is sending a very clear signal that they are unable to control themselves and should do anything in their power to stop gambling before things get out of control.

If a gambler plays game with his savings and stops there when he's got no money left, it'll be better than taking loan for gambling purpose. Meddling with our savings is wrong, but it's bitter to gamble with borrowed money. The fun of gambling disappears the moment we begin to wager borrowed money. The player will have to stay worried at all times, especially when he losses the money. Yes, with determinations, the gambler can save himself out of the trouble, but it's rare to solve. Unless the gambler has other good streams of income, that wouldn't be a torn in his flesh. Not having a clear plan or decisions about staying responsible as a gambler, may cause a dangerous experience for the gambler. The goal of such gamblers revolves around making profits, and whatever idea that pops to their mind would be utilized regardless of the risk. They jump over the need to have self-control, because it seems to them that the strategy will reduce their chances of winning big. I'd say participating in gambling for money, alone, affects the thoughts of the gambler. Most of them who reason this way, probably will lose their self-control. Thereby endangering their financial economy to an extent of being in deep trouble. Which may cost the happiness of the player and introduce them to addiction.
995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: January 21, 2024, 12:42:04 PM
They used to have in the beginning as I thought these guys keep winning so regularly and I thought they were playing from referral link money not from casino sponsored money.Now that I know most casinos sponsor them I can be a sponsored person too,there is not much effort in buying a gaming team and a great video recording tool with all those special effects that they do,I love slots so I can also play for hours without getting bored with money from the casinos that they sponsor me,so these streamers I don't watch them anymore as I know they are just a tool in the promotion programs of different casinos.

This streamers they built their accounts to the stage of getting sponsorship from the casinos therefore they're not just depending on money from sponsor to keep their channel active. There are many streamers that are streaming from the profits they get from the platforms they're using to stream as not all streamers are getting sponsorship from casinos. I also use to think they're the best individuals to follow as they're playing the same game regularly but I was wrong.

I stop when I realized many of them aren't streaming those games for profits but for entertainment. As a gambler that wants to make profits from gambling, if you follow an individual that isn't gambling for the same purpose you'll lose your money as they don't care when they lose but you'll have to care. Most streamers are just having fun and the main source of the money isn't from playing those games.

It's fun to control a huge followship on social media, most of them may not care about the funds from the platform. But the streamers working for the casino, indeed needs the sponsorship and streams to help the casino yield more traffic. Hence, the casino only goes for the streamers who have traffic and loyal fans. However, what they do is not meant to change or influence a gambler's life. To a stage of wagering more money than he's expected to spend. The problem would be for the gambler to amend, and not blame the streamer for his misfortune. I enjoy watching them play for fun purposes, not money or winning like the way they do. Greedy gamblers get low balled to believing what they see those streamers do, most of them are working with the casino, to help them manipulate results.

It has been repeatedly said, and even if it's not true, the streamers, are not gambling with their personal money. It allows them a better strength of gambling with good decision making, than a player who argues about his decision because he doesn't want to lose out his money. Although not all of them are experts, but they've got some morale and strategies to optimize their winning possibility. The fun is there, added with the funds offered by the casino. Streamers are quite growing each day as a powerful advertising technique for casino. People love to see a player boosts of his big earnings. Lots of people gambling prematurely as a result of other gamblers winnings. Hence, those who let themselves get carried away by the actions of these gamblers, should be ready to face whatever result they get. As it may not look like that of the streamer.

If you are worried about the money you are about to lose, you shouldn't be gambling in the first place, let alone having patience... Gambling is not about making big money, it is about having fun. If you see gambling as a job, sooner or later you will lose your patience anyway it is because you think you are working when you are gambling. What does a man who works for money want, if he wants to make more money? He will want to work more. In this situation he will want to gamble more. It is a big trap.
It's really not good to gamble by worrying about losing the capital we use in gambling. We won't be able to focus on the game and also enjoy the games we play. If we think of gambling as a place to make money, of course it will be very difficult for us to enjoy it. the game and we only think about winning so that the capital we bring to gamble easily runs out and we don't enjoy the game.

When gambling, it is very necessary to be able to control our emotions so that we don't play greedily so that we can easily lose the games we play. When we gamble frequently, we will certainly have financial problems that cannot meet our own needs.

Patience only elongates the time required for some certain factors like cash to finish. Gamblers have many things to bother about, and amongst it include emotional trauma or psychological disorder. With patience, these things can be reduced, and gradually fade away. But, in different contexts one would think of having patience, with his big wins.

Sometimes, we don't need to listen to what other people say because their comments to you will become your basis in yourself,it's hard to listen and trust what other people say because we don't know what their intentions are when criticizing you, their judgement may be good or bad but at It's better if you will listen to your family and closest one who knows you better and wants to improve yourself in life, for real.
Gambling can either been seen as negative or positive activity, it depends on a person's point of view. Gambling is an open activity in which anyone can participate without any pressure from others. Besides, this is a free world, and I've worked hard enough to pay my bills, so I won't tolerate any type of abuse from anyone; after all, I'm not looking for an entitlement post in either religion or where I work. We are citizens who work sufficiently forceful to ensure that we create our primary income for ourselves and our families, and we do so while simultaneously creating change for pockets.

Caring over what people have to say won't make any changes in the life of a gambler. We have unique priorities and should respect our motives of gambling. Hearsays is not in any way the reason why I started gambling. So, pondering about the reactions of people around us is a personal decision. Not everyone is independent enough to bypass the wordings of his close friends or family. Those thoughts seem annoying and is able to affect one's attitude. I wouldn't recommend that any gambler gets obsessed by what other non-gamblers has to say about gambling. Its certain no-good words would come out of their mouth. Because they've got no knowledge about gambling. And don't bother asking their acquittances who gamble to explain gambling to their understanding.

They rely on what is said around the society and speak in that sense. Which is wrong for anybody to say things without having done any research. I think the gambler would have himself to blame if he's adhering to the words of those who know little or nothing about gambling. It's like downgrading years of gambling research for the advice of a layman. Being a responsible gamble gets questioned by such people, that thinks every gambler is compulsive. The right thing is minding our business and stay strong not to get carried away by other people's lifestyle. As running back and forth over the thoughts of people on us, can be distracting and affect us mentally. If not for anything, gamblers deserve a cool and relaxed mental health.
998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lack of proper knowledge on casino games increases chance of loss and reduce fun on: January 20, 2024, 10:38:22 PM
More or less experience gives better results in everything but in casino or gambling experience does not always win the bet rather luck in gambling or casino often favors. Sometimes inexperienced gamblers get big profits just because of luck while many times experienced gamblers face big losses because of bad luck. So in this case I will not give priority to experience for gambling but in this case gambler's luck often gives more results than experience.

You're correct, we don't need experience to win in casino games, you only need experience in sport betting or poker. Casino games are luck based games, you don't need experience to win a dice or slot game. You just have to be lucky and you'll win. When gambling don't think you'll always win, casino games are easy to lose as the house has the edge. They'll always be the ones who win from all the individuals that are gambling, only a few individual will win the house when they gamble.

When gambling, just gamble for fun and not to get any experience that you'll use in the future when you want to gamble as it'll not work. If you want your experience to help you to win when you gamble then play more of sport betting. When you know the teams that are playing and how in form they're, you can predict which side will win the game but still you need luck to be on your side to win.

In the game Op named, black Roulette, experience isn't exempted. To understand the game, the player needs to know how it works. Where to place his predictions to increase his chances of winning. They're numbers he'd place on, and he'd have lesser wins. I think Op is cool with his topic, especially when referring to black roulette. His statement may be wrong for other games, where luck thrives over experience. Black roulette players also depend on luck for big jackpots, but follow the luck path can lead a gambler out there complaining like Op. The experience to understand when and where to place our money, can save the person some stress of bothering about our actions or failure.

If I look at it from this side, it is probably true that people who go to physical casinos will get other services that casinos do not provide, namely the opportunity to socialize with many people in person and this is an advantage that we will not be able to get if we gamble at online casinos. With this opportunity, it can pave the way for you to have relationships with many people and maybe you can make many new friends which is certainly true what you said that our gambling will feel more fun. Now in this modern era everything looks easier to do, one example might be from gambling, you can choose according to what you want, if you really don't want to bother leaving the house then obviously your choice is to get involved in online casinos but if you want to meet lots of people in person with a lively atmosphere that can make you feel more happy or mean you are one of those people who like crowds then of course you can come to a physical casino, all of this is your choice.

Online gambling gives portability and comfortability than the offline casino but doesn't provide some of the good things of life offline casino possess. Although nobody is restricted from using the offline casino, the online players can switch to physical casino any moment they feel lonely. However, not everybody has the ability to start or hold conversations with other people, hence the offline casino may not be a conducive place for them, regardless. Hence, it's crucial that gamblers who intend to make fun while using the physical casino should be able to engage and approach people. But if they have a clique already, it wouldn't be a hassle to get fun there. I think most online gamblers are comfortable with the provision of the opportunity to gamble online. Other requirements are secondary, the aim has been achieved. Gambling and getting paid online is what matters.

Madness is also defined as "behavior or thinking that is very foolish or dangerous : extreme folly"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/madness
From the above definition, you can clearly see that the before of the man cited advice is very foolish and dangerous, which connects to the topic of this thread and validated that the man is actually MAD. From the moment anyone loses control of his involvements in gambling, tho the extent of doing irrational things either to acquire money to sustain your addiction or  to victimize your family or those around you, you've clearly lost your mind and need help.
Gambling addiction itself is madness because its a foolish and irrational behavior, its very  painful that people make choices to be mad instead of remaining sane with moderate gambling, or not gambling at all.  I wish every gambler out there sanity of moderate gambling because the insanity that comes with addiction is very destructive in nature.

You are really serving the addicts some raw advice. It's not simple to be addicted, gamblers need to be wary of being a victim. Handling the trauma is not easy. The man may have been traumatized for a long time. Maybe his relations paid no close attention to his self-struggle. Which developed to a wild behavior. Being insane differs and the definition you have for gambling addicts, isn't wrong, but should be used sparingly based on the level of addiction. The man in the story, yes, is insane and needs lots of efforts to cure his trouble. His irrational behavior is not meant to be tagged with that of the addicted gambler who is barely trying to recognize what is with him. Such a person despite gambling, compulsively, may not be called an insane person. As there are lots of irrelevant things he cannot do for gambling.

And that makes him sane. Some of them when they've ran out of money, their urge to gamble reduces, and they may be blaming themselves for spending money that way. But the addiction sets back once the money arrives. I think that's the only irrational attitude to expect for this type of gamblers, not being able to hold money without gambling. It looks weird, but not as bad as the man in the thread who caused pain to his family, in such an ill manner. Due to anger, we may be pushed to say that they chose to be in that situation. But truly, nobody wants to be like that. It's not a choice to be in such a condition, negligence caused many people to put on such shoes. Mental disorder could be so tough that the victim acts as though he's purposely executing his ill actions.
