I was just playing Hi-Lo, making small dollar bets, if it's 5 number card I select higher card and win, if it's 10 number then I go with 'low' and win.

Then I was greeted with Ace card, minimal possibility for equal card right (i.e, Ace), so I go all in, and guess what happens, the result is Ace means I lost the bet.

Then I have all sorts of thoughts blaming casino, like do they manipulate the result of the game when user goes all in. I am sure they are all fair, it's just that the possibility of losing the game may be minimal but it's never 0.

If you are interested in gambling on sports, do you rely on prediction betting sites? Why?
What is the most prominent site you rely on?

But think about impatience. It can really kill your game
Make you bet more than you should, or make you revenge gamble, making your thoughts unclear.
So I think patience may help, even if it’s just for better managing your bankroll and going slower

- what trends would you like to see in the future (eg interactive game design, innovative customer service or loyalty programs, etc.).
- what improvements or features would you specifically appreciate or suggest (what is missing)?

I think deeply impacts both the gambler and their immediate family, but in different ways. For the gambler, it brings personal turmoil like financial ruin, mental health issues, and strained relationships. The family, however, faces the ripple effects financial instability, emotional stress, and potential social isolation. Children can be particularly vulnerable, carrying the emotional scars into adulthood. It's challenging to say who suffers more because both the gambler and their family endure significant hardships. Essentially, gambling addiction should be seen as a family issue, not just an individual one, requiring support and intervention for everyone affected.

I see no reason why the person who is emotional and gambling senselessly should still be at the casino or not close the gambling platform. Though some might even try to fight it by being conscious with the help of discipline and determination, but if this seems not to be working, just walk away, nothing is safer than that in gambling. You may now return the next day or even give it time in days or weeks to get back to your normal self. No gambler doing this will be wasting money unnecessarily.

Do you think a betting company or casino will understand and not arrest an employee who has access to company funds and then misuses it for gambling? If this employee claims that he is battling from gambling addiction, will he be considered for a lighter punishment? If you own such a casino or betting platform, what will you do to such an employee, understanding that addiction to gambling can make people make decisions that are unexpected.

Crypto has been known for anonymity. During the early stage, we like to promote it using the words "decentralized" and "anonymous ", and it's the main reason why a lot of gamblers have chosen to gamble using crypto to gain full privacy, but it seems like things have really change a lot now as gamblers are looking for a casino that are licensed while some casinos who promotes anonymous gambling eventually act like a fiat casino that requires KYC.

What do you think about this one, where is are we heading? And can we still consider crypto casino different from fiat casino?

AI has impacted almost all online businesses to major extent. Do you feel that there will be major impact of AI technology on online gambling industry as well ?

Found some good points that I support in your post. It isnt necessary to yell on the street "I am a gambler! I am a gambler!" But it also isnt necessary to cross the street or try to ignore the question "Do you gamble?" when somebody asks. I am not keeping in secret that I gamble. And I dont welcome people "Hello, my name is TopTort777 and I gamble". And you know what, I have never had any trouble or any kind of harassment from not hiding that I gamble. I see only disadvantages of hiding such hobby and see no advantages.

Btw, would gladly listen to any advantages of hiding gambling hobby. (opinion from those where gambling is illegal does not count).

Hi,

There are always things that we are passionate about doing, such as video games, football, basketball, and sports in general, meaning that everyone has something that excites them and makes them want to do.
Like others, I get very excited when I sit down, take my phone, and start my bets. This does not mean that I am addicted, but rather I find it more comfortable and I have more fun.

Does gambling excites you? What motivates you, winning or just the fun in it ?

Am I surprised with that? Not at all. I was already expecting a really close game and bookmakers are also expecting for the same thing. Maybe there is a gap of sixteen points in the standings but this is easy to misguide someone. Even though Lazio aren't performing the same as the previous season they can still make serious difficulties home. Especially while Juventus are in a bad form I wouldn't bet on them. If I place a bet my choice would be both teams to score @2.03.

I believe that before one make a decision in life, they should've already weighed the consequences of making the right or wrong choice, then put their fate on luck coupled with their little knowledge concerning what they're about to decide on, so why complain and play the blame game when things go wrong? "Share your thought on how gambling has come through for you if you got any".

We gamble for fun but also doing what we think is best for us, most of these gamblers you see or have encountered in the space are going through alot due to heavy loss, some of them even went as far as borrowing for gambling. A business man taking his own life due to the heavy loss recorded on his end in gambling. No human sits in position to take his life because there's always new opportunities everyday in the space and it's our primary duty to keep attempting if we're solely interested in the big winnings, remember nothing good comes easy.

What if, I get a chance to participate in a lottery without any investment?
If any gambling site offers, free of cost entry in the lottery, i would definitely not miss that one.

Personally, I would consider it fun when my budget is much greater than my losses or when I gamble with someone else's money, and this is something I would not do if I had no benefit in it.

In my opinion, all those gambling streamers should be exterminated like the plague.  Most of them earn money by endorsing gambling platforms and streaming games with fake money, drawing in younger susceptible viewers vulnerable to addiction.  This is exactly why Twitch banned gambling livestreams.

And if he is addicted to gambling then I wouldn't be surprised if he can do it because addicts can't just stop because all they have in mind is playing and playing.

I prefer sport betting to any another form of gambling. Sport betting seem as though you are the one behind the winning and you made it possible without giving any credit to luck. When picking games from sport you are the predictor and whether you win or loose your bet it's up to you and your predictions but the true fact is that its centered on luck. However sport betting can be really fun especially when you have made your predictions and then waiting for the match to start and watch till the final whistle. Where I come from, we have special streaming centers fro football only, and we go there often to feel the vibe of club fans and their reactions when they concede, score or misses a goal.
