One thing you most understand is that cash out option is not mandatory, is quite a personal decision so it is left for a gambler to decide whether to cash out or not since we have different target in gambling. Honestly, I don't really know why a gambler would cash out due to one thing or the other then at last you keep on blaming yourself just because your prediction played as predicted. However, it's very essential for us to always let go of our possible winning after making a cash out because remembering them might likely result to chasing losses in gambling.

In my country there is also strong inflation, prices are rising every day, salaries are not keeping up with the growth of prices. I can not say that gambling is capable of acting as a protection against losses or as an investment, since the rates are also growing in monetary terms, and it turns out that you come out to approximately the same level, the best opportunity to maintain your standard of living is investing in electronic or foreign currency, since real estate and doing business are now too risky in our country with the current laws and domestic situation.
Exactly how inflation is affecting my country too but I will never use gambling as a back up and I can not advice anyone to do so, it's better to invest into Bitcoin and hold for the long duration of time that it will take Bitcoin to enter a bull season. With Bitcoin investment, the person will not lose their money but just have to be patient, not gambling where they can lose their money on the process of seeking for more. Normally as a good gambler that knows what gambling is all about would never in any way think of using gambling is back up because doing that would definitely lead you into more losses at the end of the day. Of course investing in Bitcoin and hold for a long period of time is far better than relying on gambling, because once you invest in Bitcoin and plan for future purposes there is a high chance of getting profits at last.

To avoid getting addicted to gambling is quite simple if only a gambler would be able to gamble with the amount thay can afford to lose because gambling is not a get rich quick scheme is not something to rely on heavily since luck have the besic role in determining the final outcome.
However, viewing gambling as an entertainment or having fun is definitely the best way to overcome frequent losses and addiction in gambling.

It's been a while I gambled, and so a few days ago, I decided to try gambling with a few bucks to try my luck on the football simulated league. My first stake was with just $2, and I lost the whole money in a single stake, and then for fun, I decided to try out the martingale strategy (even when I know it's a bad idea) I decided to try it after all to see if the outcome might change my impression about the approach. So I made another stake with another $2 with hopes of doubling the bet and recovering my money, I still lost it, and that was $4 gone, moving forward, I staked another $4 hoping to double it, and just like that, it was gone, and then I had to run before what I hoped to be a fun ride turns into a nightmare. And once again, I had proven to myself that the martingale strategy is the worst ever.
This martingale strategy is not something a gambler would hope on because at the end of the day you end up losing all at the same time. However, that is exactly why is not advisable for a gambler to think of doubling your money in gambling because is not something to rely heavily since luck have the besic role in determining the final outcome. Though, once you keep on betting to recover your losses that is how you would still be losing more and more until you finally lost it all. However, noing when to stop when losing is the best way to overcome frequent losses when gambling because there is no guarantee of winnings in gambling.

I know this isn’t a new game, but I still think it’s one of the most popular slots out there. Aside from Gates of Olympus, which, to be honest, can get a bit boring sometimes since a bonus buy gives you 15 spins that can drag on, Sweet Bonanza feels faster and more exciting. You get 10 spins, and if you’re lucky, you can snag an extra 5. Just this past week of playing consistently, I’ve already hit x1000 three times, so I’m definitely up for now.
How about you, have you been lucky with this kind of game?
I have won several times in this sweet bonanza, but I most confess that I have not yet hit x1000 before since I started playing sweet bonanza. Although I normally play for fun and entertainment with only what I can afford to lose since luck have the final say. Honestly, I am more familiar with sports betting than this sweet bonanza but even as that I love playing it with small amount just to have some fun nothing else.

In the past when I newly started gambling, I can say I was exhibiting this symptom but not now that I am very much aware of how to handle gambling in a very responsible manner and the fact that I only play once in a while and only with a small amount of money makes it so easy for me to feel less concerned about the outcome, what I mean is, before I decide to use $5 for gambling it means I don't care if I lost it or not and once I lost the money, I'll just step down and try again next time which could take a long time again.
Gamblers might experience anxiety if they bet with an amount they cannot afford to lose. The fear of losing such an amount might trigger anxiousness which might affect the gambler adversely. Anxiety could lead to costly mistakes. Just as you mentioned, if I gamble with an amount that I spend on other forms of entertainment like movie ticket and other subscriptions, it wouldn't lead to any form of fear. But if I am gambling with my entire weekly earnings, it will trigger anxiety.Spending an entirely weekly earning in gambling is something I can not do even with closed eyes, except I have the option to use that weekly payment as an entire gambling budget for a month or two. The risk why I will not even spend up to that amount per week in gambling is because I could lose it more than the profit and then I will end up have anxiety because I didn't intend to lose such amount. Of course as a good gambler would never in any way think of spending the whole weekly pay in gambling because there is no guarantee of doubling your weekly pay, rather it will still going to lead you into anxiety. Honestly, this is something that I would never in my life think of trying because gambling is not a place to make money overnight. Viewing it as an entertainment or having fun with only what you can afford to lose is definitely the best way to overcome anxiety.

That is exactly the main reason why they always said that we should only gamble with the amount we can afford to lose because gambling is not something to rely on heavily since luck have the besic role in determining the final outcome.
However, I think is quite good for us to always let go of our past losses and move on with the way it will not affect us The future. Because already gambling is highly involved in losses than winnings so the best way to overcome frequent losses is by viewing it as an entertainment or having fun because there is no guarantee of winnings in gambling.

@OP, what is the difference between gambling fever and gambling addiction? From your post, I don't see any difference or any unique difference of things that have been discussed here before as a causes of addiction and how to prevent it. Both are too similar, if not the same.
Maybe OP is trying to modify the name, and obviously, I see no difference from what OP has called a gambling fever and gambling addiction, as all the listed factors or features are almost similar to those of an addicted gambler. Maybe OP should tell us what the new message he is trying to pass across is, because there is nothing new in what OP has mentioned here, as there have been lots of similar posts in the past with content similar to this thread. It's just almost the same, yeah OP is just using another term for it like in game rush, or maybe in combo you're like having a term "fever" because you're continuously hitting the combo like in gambling you're non-stop at it and hitting adrenaline rush because of thrill and excitement. Different term but same effects with gambling addiction. IMO, Maybe those chasing losses sign are more into gambling addiction because it frequently happens to people that suffers from addiction but yah, it's the same, fever is just like the surface level that's happening during that gambling moment and addiction is like the worst-case scenario. Malaria and typhoid are not the same and it is the malaria sickness that brought out the symptoms of typhoid and from my understanding Op is saying the symptoms of gambling addiction as the gambling fever. Though this is the first time I am hearing the term but it is not hard to understand. In the addiction stage the person is also committed to gambling and can't do without it but I'm the fever stage it is the signs/road to the addiction stage. You are absolutely right because malaria comes first before typhoid and that is exactly what the OP mean. Because it is when we earn to become rich quick through gambling that would easily get addicted to gambling so that is where the fever normally start from. However, just like as you mentioned I think this is also my first time of hearing something like this since I started playing gambling, but even as that I think is quite simple to understand that gambling addiction start from somewhere.

Have you ever been bullied or seen as a bad person because you gamble? And How to you stand up for yourself to gambling bullies and does it affect you emotionally of psychologically?
I am an open gambler and I don’t see why I should be shy about it but really gamble bullying is a thing and I have seen secret gamblers even bullying an open .
I will need to have my hands tied and mouth tapped before someone could bully me because of I am an open gambler.
I am a proud gambler who gamble responsible and take care of my family responsibilities without any problems. So who the hell on earth can bully me for gambling, I don't think that there's anybody because I am matured enough to do whatever I like, and take responsibility of outcome of my actions. Only underage gamblers or people who are still being fed or addicted gamblers can be bullied. Well said mate, as a gambler that normally gamble responsibly and take good care of his responsibilities would never in any way accept any shit. However, the most important thing in gambling is been control of yourself and accept any outcome without getting addicted, because it is only when you are not doing the right thing that would feel some how. But as long as you are able and capable of making informed decisions who cares.

2 weeks to EPL and other major leagues resuming. How are we feeling boys?
According to a post I saw on X, it said the ladies should stay close to their husbands and enjoy them now because in two weeks time EPL is going to start and the mental health or state of their husbands will now start depending on what 11 people on the field do to a ball.  Exactly because it has been a while now, so this two weeks is enough for them to enjoy with their husbands and have some fun. More especially the ones that are not familiar with football this is the right time for them to do whatever thing they like with their husbands because immediately EPL start now, all their thinking would be on the players in the field Lol. Honestly, I can't wait for the new season to start because it will going to be a lot of fun and entertainment.

Sports betting is purely a base luck game. But that doesn't mean that you wouldn't do your own research and analyze before betting. Because this has been the major challenges most gamblers are surfering today in gambling because they always have this feeling that luck would help them get a win easily in gambling. However, it's very essential for us to always do the needful things first before depending slowly on luck because it is only when you help yourself that luck would easily help you when gambling.

The three of them are pretty good for me to master if given an opportunity. However, I most confess that sports betting is the one that would be my favorite to master easily while because football has been my first experience than the other ones. Although I also enjoyed playing poker game too so if given an opportunity, I would budly say that sports betting and poker game is the ones that I have master already.

So far I would say I have been more reliant on my old gambling skills and strategies seeing that I no longer have friends that are generous enough to share betting codes and give updates on new strategies to gamble with, so I want to know how successful in your gambling activities you have been so far if you compare; a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies, versus, b. Gambling alone depending on pure wits, knowledge and personal developed strategies?
Already right from time I normally gamble alone because I don't normally depends on someone prediction since luck have the besic role in determining the final outcome. So I normally do my own research and stick to my strategy because I have often see where gamblers end up regretting just because of too much reliance on their friends prediction. So I always prefer doing my own prediction with my little still since luck have the final say.

Just wanted to share my recent experience because it seems like there might be big changes coming to how we gamble. As we all know, gambling in the Philippines is already widespread, and addiction has become common since it’s so easy to gamble through mobile apps. Even payment apps like GCash have added casinos to their platform, letting people bet with just a small minimum amount.
But earlier, I was surprised when I opened the app to gamble because it now required me to take a selfie before proceeding. I’m thinking this might be part of the government’s move to ensure minors can’t gamble. Do you think this is a good first step?
This isn't really a wise move because if all they require is a selfie then minors can just bypass or they would just tell someone that's older to do it for them. KYC is already there, this alone should be able to keep minors away from gambling. A lot of people say that KYC isn't what it used to be but that's not true. If bettors takes this seriously it would help to curb irresponsible gambling. Minors shouldn't gamble You are absolutely right because if only taking a selfie is the only requirement then it is pretty obvious that gamblers would definitely look for a way and bypass the process without much stress. Of course KYC is far better than this selfie of a thing because even with the KYC most of the minors still look for a way and bypass, talkles of when selfie is the only requirement. The honest truth is that a gambler is always a gambler so no matter what government might do, there would always be a way in for them to manover.

when you are placing a bet, do you tend to look at other people's bets? does looking at other bets make you feel more confident or more anxious about your own bets? are there any benefits into noticing which are the most famous bets? just to see which one is the favorite or you do not care and you just want to mind your own business?
There was a time that I was focusing on other bettors predictions, then at last I ended up losing my bet due to the fact that I was not yet familiar in making my own prediction. However, as is stance now I normally do my own prediction and place my bet because it is only when you don't know how to make your own research that you would easily depend on someone prediction, without that gambling is more better when you make your own research and bet on them.
