Government can't be blamed for making gambling exist. There are people who can't just take responsibility for their own actions, always looking for whom to unleash their anger on. These are the ones who will blame the government, the gambling office and everyone that is present at the time of the loss. Gambling is rated 18+, so whoever is involved will own up to the responsibility that comes with it. After blaming one another for your loss, who do you praise for your win? So a gambler should take the blame and praise at its peak.
Blaming the Government or someone for your losses just shows a gambler is not prepared for the worse case that can happen in gambling. Playing blindly (using the funds that you can't live without) but unable to accept the outcome is one of the reason why many gamblers are becoming addicted for trying to recover the losses. If you decided to gamble your money, make sure you're prepared for the consequences since losing is inevitable. Be responsible to face it and don't blame anybody since no one coerce you to gamble your money. |

How about you guys? Did you go through the same thing when you were just starting out?
For me, it’s just part of the process, and I’m already okay with it now.
Yes and I think it's quite normal as a newbie since you're not familiar with many terms and probably didn't take time to research about it. When I was a newbie in online gambling, the first game that I got hooked is dice too, because it's easy to play and understand. Just like you, I also tried to use different strategy in order to maximize the chance to win but often, it's working. Luck is a major factor to win in gambling indeed. So regardless of what kind of games you play, luck is necessary to win. |

I have experienced this gambling without any control over how much money I am going to bet or be willing to lose, and it is not good at all , because you lose and When you lose it is a lot of money , it is not Pleasant , you feel bad , for that Reason we as players must plan how to play before playing , Especially money Management , if it is like that we will not have any kind of Problem.
It is certainly not good to lose money in gambling especially if you exceeds your limit on much is meant to spend. Money management is crucial in gambling if you don't want to be in a situation wherein you'll regret everything you did about your money. Anyway, gambling should not be your motivation to work hard. Instead, do it because you're responsible person to provide for the needs of your family, and that comes first. There's nothing wrong to think about leisure time but don't think as if that's the reason why you're striving. |

I think a lot of gamblers have forget that the casino is a business for it owners. The question is, if you have a business would you rather be on the losing side to please your customers? My answer is no, I don't know about you, the least a business owner can do is to give out promo sales or auction price to attract more customers and that's what casino owners do but gamblers should understand that gambling is a game of luck cause it requires staking money on uncertain events and casino owners would always be on the profit side than gamblers since it's their business.
Exactly. Casino is a business and these owners won't let themselves to be in the losing side. Because how they can continue operating if there's no revenue? That's important for the business to survive. They can attract the gamblers by offering bonus rewards and good promotions to lure them to gamble but it's just part of their strategy to get many customers as possible. Hence, gamblers must understand how it works before risking their money in gambling to avoid being disappointed. |

My question is what do you think are the reasons people who come to the casino with an earlier intention have a switch to a different one? maybe as it's applicable to you and how well did it end for you?
Unable to accept the losses is one of the common reason on why gamblers are changing their intention from having fun to recovering their losses. Many of us started just to have fun for sure. But then, when you already use the amount that is not planned to bet in gambling, that's the start of the real problem. Finally, what would you propose as a solution to help weak-willed gamblers maintain their motive on the casino without deviating situationally?
Set a limit on how much money to spend and have discipline. Because if you follow your rules (when to stop, amount to use and hours to play) you can end your session without a problem. Just don't be greedy because that's a temptation that many of us can't resist. |

Anxiety has a powerful effect on how we gamble. If you can't calm your bet amount will be bigger and bigger and you can't risk the amount of bet and probably you will stick with the small chance to win and if you lost that round probably you ll go crazy and tadaaa bet amount rise and your wallet falls...
That's why it is not advisable to gamble if you have anxiety for reasons like what you mentioned. Gamblers who are fine before playing can develop similar problem if they can't control themselves when they gamble. Because gambling is a game of luck, those who have high expectation then just lose their hard-earned money will face a big problem if they can't handle themselves after experiencing such. |

I am curious what is the one thing that you will never bet with? I am not talking about life because I think almost everyone will say that already but instead I am talking about other things. Like your house, your car or maybe some weird thing like your favorite shirt or the mug your father gave you. Those kinds of things. It would be interesting to see how people value different things within the metrics of gambling.
Well, Our house, because that's very valuable since it is built through our hard work. Anyway, im not an addicted gambler so I will never bet any important things just to continue my gambling activity. The number one rule is to only gamble the amount that you can live without. Therefore it's crucial to play in moderation to prevent yourself becoming addicted. Because that's the usual problem of gamblers who are not financially and mentally prepared before they gamble. The thought of doubling their money in snap is what they believe in. But that's not easy as it seems. |

The first thing that I consider when choosing a casino is their reputation, especially on this forum. How long the business is running and if there's an issues throwing at them and how they handle it. That's why it's important for me that they have a representative here to attend to the queries and issues.
Second is how fast the deposit and withdrawal and if they're implementing kyc. The ToS should be clear to avoid violating it. Lastly, is the bonus and rewards for gamblers because as long as the casino is trusted, I don't mind about the games they offered.

So before I even think of putting money on it, I’d like to hear your thoughts. Do you think he’ll still manage to serve out the full term despite the scandals? Or is the pressure just going to get too heavy?
IMO, He will serve full term for his position despite what's happening currently and how it might progress in the days forward. Because they're quite powerful even there are many questions and broken promises before he became president, still he stand firm and seems unaffected to this chaos about flood control. Anyway, Are these politicians involved will be punish or it might become another case of unresolved issues of the country? Let's just see what's going to happen. |

Have you ever tried looking into your horoscope or had done a tarot reading on you that affected your gambling habits? I know that we often just take these superstitious words and try to mold them into our own situations making it look like they actually predicted our future but sometimes people take these as signs. I wonder if you had ever gambled because of what you saw from your horoscope or something similar? How did it end?
Before, I used to check the horoscope column in the local magazine for my lucky numbers for that specific day. Then I use that numbers to buy a ticket for lottery, believing I have a high chance to win. But I never experience to become fortunate using such numbers. There's nothing wrong if you follow these surpertitious belief in gambling. But it's better to not expect anything because the result is still uncertain. |

This is simple but it's very important to know why we are gambling.
This is something most gamblers wouldn't agree to that they are gambling for money but often times they speak more of gambling for fun and excitement which is too good to be true. As gamblers sometimes we which to get something out of the money we lose basically when we say we gamble for fun but if you ask me i gamble based on the two reasons with what I can afford to lose. A lot of gamblers won't admit that they gamble for money but there is nothing wrong in gambling for Profit. The only problem is when they gamble irresponsibly without having limits and discipline. You can have fun and also gamble to make profit it's all about applying moderation when you are actively involved in it. There are simple rules to follow and the most important one is to gamble with an amount you can afford to lose Exactly. There's nothing wrong if you gamble to gain since that's often the main reason on why people are engaging themselves in gambling. But the problem arise when you became greedy just to profit, to the point you'll spend a money that you can't live without or worse take a loan to continue playing. Excessive playing is can lead to addiction that's why it is crucial to have self-control. |

There could be a hundred and one reasons why a gambler could possibly lie about their gambling losses, some of those reasons could actually be reasonable and some might not.
That's true. Well, as long as you don't owe money to anybody then it's fine to keep it a secret especially if their words can't help you to move on. for instance, if a gambler gambles with little money that they can actually afford to lose, and maybe they eventually lose that money to the casino, there would be absolutely no point having to lie to others about that lose because it's a minor loss that antone can experience.
There are people who don't like to expose themselves as a gambler and be criticize for being one. So regardless of the amount of losses, they just keep mum to avoid judgement from others. I think it depends on the situation because there are scenario wherein lying is the best option to avoid further problem. |

Had someone similar experience? To be honest I received bonuses quite a few times and this is only time I managed to wager it completely.
When it comes to casino bonus, it's already expected that the casino will set a high wagering requirement to be able to make a withdrawal. It's part of their strategy for new users to lure them to deposit to their casino. I have an experience of getting a deposit bonus but not fortunate to hit the wagering requirement since it's not easy to win. Well, it's a good start though to become familiar to the games that you are interested to play in. |

We cant be sure of wining in gambling, so we shouldn't allow anyone lure us into deception that there is anything of such, i have been hearing about how some talked about going for fixed games and so on, which at the end, they eventually got disappointed because this cannot continue to happen like that in an untrusted manner, we cant be sure of the game we are playing until after the end, that is why we take the risk to lose or win in gambling.
Fixed matches might be existing even before, but still, there's no guarantee that the result will end up as what you expected it to be. That's why there's still risk of losing your money no matter how confident you're to win. Moreover, probably there are many gamblers who became rich by now if sure win is existing. So when it comes to gambling, don't set your expectation high because upset can happen. |

So I am to ask, between me and my friend who is in position to feel this regrets regarded that I won nothing and he made some cash out ?
Both of you. You have reasons to feel regretful and that’s already enough to feel that way. Your friend missed a big win even if he managed to to take some profit while you on the other hand lose everything while you have the opportunity to cashout. Your case is just more painful because you lose everything including your bankroll. Of course the both of them will have a regret but on different magnitudes, his friend regret doesn't really matter much because if the game didn't end up well after his cash out he would have been feeling smarter and that he has been able to take advantage of the process, people shouldn't be feeling too bad when it comes to taken that decision to cash out before the end of the game or not because they both have consequences that should be ready to be accepted, definitely the one that won nothing will feel the regret more than the other friend. Indeed. For his friend who regret cashing out early because the game ended well, what if the result is bad? Will he regret cashing out early? Of course, no because he made the right decision. Gambling is a game of luck and the result is not guaranteed to be in our favor, this is the reason why we need to learn to value what we gain regardless of its amount since profit is still a profit. |

Which can be more addicting between the two: placing small bets every day or gambling only once or twice a year but doing so with huge amounts of money?
Playing everyday is more addicting because you'll be used to it. If gambling became part of your daily activity regardless of how much you spend to play, that means you're more prone to become addicted. On the other side, rarely play using a huge amount can also make a person become addicted. This depends on the gambler itself because even you play often or rarely, if you have no discipline to set a limit then it's likely you'll end up as addicted. |
|
|
|
And what do you think, does refusal to play (deprivation) contribute to recovery from addiction or is it useless?
Well, it is necessary to completely stop your gambling activity to focus on recovery. Because you can't change what you used to if you keep coming back in gambling. Therefore, depriving yourself does help to move on. It's understandable that the journey won't be easy especially if there's no support from the people around. A gambler needs discipline and determination if he wants to overcome the gambling addiction. |

Lower your expectations and acceptance, but sometimes we can’t stop ourselves from getting mad because we’re only human. Even if you know your chances of winning are slim, once you lose, of course you can’t expect everyone to be as nonchalant as you are. Well, as long as they don’t redirect their anger toward things or people around them, it’s fine. Or if they’re not making people around them feel uncomfortable, it’s fine. Anyway, at least it’s good to read this kind of story from time to time.
Some people failed to understand that gambling is not like business or Investment that we always expect big return after investment is been made, in business the chance of winning is always higher than the chance of losing because in a business there's a little guarantee about the outcome that's depending on how dedicated you're towards that business. while gambling is purely based on luck even if you are dedicated to gambling if you're not lucky there's no way you can be able to make profit. this is something we are supposed to put at the back of our mind, having too much expectations in gambling brings Alot of disappointment. But many gamblers are engaging themselves in gambling for this very reason of winning huge. They're tempted to gamble their money (even it's the amount that is meant for important things) hoping to double it. The thought of winning is easy (just like those who are fortunate to win a decent amount) motivates them to try their luck. Well, a gamblers with high expectation in gambling might end up becoming addicted for not being able to control themselves. So it's really crucial to gamble in moderation. |

So I am to ask, between me and my friend who is in position to feel this regrets regarded that I won nothing and he made some cash out ?
Of course it's you. Because you had the chance but you just ignore it. While your friend made some profit although he's regretting the decision because the result is in favor to him if he continue. The result is unpredicted and luck is still a major factor. That's how it is, you'll only regret your decision if what you expected didn't happened. The reason why in gambling, if you have an opportunity to take profit, just grab it unless you're prepared regardless of the outcome. |
