481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What ugly incident or occurrence have you ever experienced in gambling? on: January 15, 2024, 10:15:07 AM
It's sad to see when someone's good luck turns into ash because of a device malfunction. I haven't experienced or been in a situation like this, but I can see and feel how frustrating it would be to be in that kind of scenario. Losing a big win is worse when you are about to cash out and you cannot get it because of a poor device. It shows how unpredictable the life and internet can be.
Yes, that's very sad because we only need just to press the button and get lots of money. But that's what happens, and we never know if small things like that can happen. Perhaps we will always remember that bad incident for several days and will never forget it.

Perhaps we have to prepare everything before we start gambling, especially if we are going to use a smartphone, so that we don't experience another bad incident. This is a valuable lesson for us to be more careful when using smartphones to gamble.

The problem that explained by @OP is he don't want to get scammed. Most of the time the casino doesn't offer something suspicious or too good to be true, but the influencer make a noise if the casino will give many benefits if they sign up using his referral link.

So the blame should be put on the influencer instead of the casino.
Yes, I understand it. Therefore, we should not only rely on influencers or review sites that we find there. As long as we don't know the casino is status, we don't need to try to register at the casino. And before we know more about the casino, we should hold back even if the influencer says that the casino is very good and will provide lots of prizes or other interesting promotions. We must take responsibility for finding the casino and not just leave it to the influencer. We also don't know the influencer's reputation, so caution is needed in this matter.

Someone who is a gambling addict will certainly be more open when he feels confident that he can get rid of his bad habit.  When they visit a rehabilitation clinic, of course they will have a strong belief that they can change everything.  All problems must be disclosed to experts, in essence there should be no coercion from anyone to change themselves except on the basis of their own beliefs.
If they become aware of their bad habits, they will try to stop them by visiting rehabilitation clinics and undergoing therapy sessions. They will also tell their problem to those closest to them that they are addicted to gambling, so they will ask for their help to support them in healing at a rehabilitation clinic. They know they must do it without coercion because it is for their own good. They only hope for support from the people closest to them so that they can undergo healing therapy well and cure their gambling addiction. If the people closest to them are willing to come and provide support to people who are addicted to gambling while still considering them as members of their family, it will make the person who is addicted to gambling feel happy because they have received support from the people closest to them. They will try their best to complete the healing therapy.
484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Buying More Tickets To Increase Your chances on: January 15, 2024, 08:21:14 AM
I'm a person who don't believe in lottery, mostly I avoid to join it. But if I get the ticket for free or there's something that force me to join, I will just buy one ticket and no put any expectation to win. It's crazy to hope you will win when there are more than 100K tickets, your winning chance isn't even close to 1%.

Until now, I haven't yet win any giveaway or lottery in my life, so I have a skepticism with such kind games.
You are not alone because there are still many people who have never won the lottery prize. Many of them have bought lotteries in large quantities, but it doesn't give them a win. Those who buy tickets in large numbers hope that one of the tickets will give them a win, even though winning the lottery requires luck, where luck will choose people who really deserve luck. And because the chance is not close to 1%, people still try to buy lottery tickets because they think buying more can increase their chances of winning. They should be able to realize that if they spend a lot of money to buy more tickets, it is not guaranteed to increase their chances of winning, so they just need to buy enough lottery tickets and wait for the results to be announced.

Yups.. Probability. This type of mathematics is very closely related to games, especially gambling. However, I'm not too sure whether a mathematician can make big profits in gambling games with this knowledge? or even the rich who have large balances are able to make large profits from gambling. If it is related to probability then both people are able to prove it, which one is able to get a profit.

I'm still curious whether the top gambler is an expert or understands mathematics?
We can assume that top gamblers are experts in gambling and also understand mathematics because we have never met them either. And we can also say that they are gamblers who can control themselves when gambling. But rich people who have a large balance when gambling are very likely to be able to win big from gambling because they have a lot of money so that they can gamble longer than other people. These rich people don't need an alibi to continue gambling because they will play whenever they want and stop once they have had enough. And maybe some people who understand mathematics can benefit from gambling by relying on the knowledge they have mastered, even though they still have the possibility of losing from gambling games.

~ snip long op  Smiley ~

This person's life was already ruined before he even got into gambling, why are you saying that gambling is to blame?
Even though he made a lot of money from gambling at first to support his drug addiction, we cannot blame gambling for the addicted life he was leading before that.

Of all the evils, at least he led a dignified life, as he supported his drug addictions with an honest source of income (at first). Many drug addicts prefer to steal or open a clandestine and fraudulent business to get money faster, this would be a bad thing. But the way you stated this fact, I see nothing wrong with gambling.

What I have seen in online gaming addictions is exactly the opposite.... people who are already addicted to gambling end up contracting other addictions to illicit drugs, alcohol or cigarettes due to the psychological stress that gambling losses cause in the people's minds out of control.
He already had a drug addiction before he got to know gambling, and the added knowledge of gambling addiction further worsened his life and made him have two addictions, which both made his life worse. He will not always be able to make money from gambling to buy drugs because, in gambling, he will experience losses, and that will make him lose a lot of money. If he has lost a lot of money while his drug addiction requires him to consume drugs, he may commit a crime, which will further worsen the situation.

This addiction problem is hazardous for people, so we must be able to avoid it and not get too close to gambling or drugs. Moreover, there are many victims of these two addictions, so we have to be more careful in protecting ourselves.
487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 15, 2024, 06:40:43 AM
~snip~
That is a way of seeing things well, for me a person who is addicted is the one who Always loses a lot of money and becomes decapitated and begins to do whatever it takes so that he can be addicted. Addicts are very particula r, they have a way of seeing things in different ways. different, in this case we are people who have always seen that when you do any type of things for money, but there are the players who are addicts, that is a fact, now when a person, as I have said on many occasions, is in a he falls and goes and stays there all day, because he does nothing but play, but every day he leaves with a positive balance, for me he is not an addict, because every day he leaves with a positive balance and does well, Well, it's a lie about looking for money, although it's very strange that it happens, but I don't know in the world there are many people who are special and can do that type of things, I don't know if there is someone like that, maybe with a special talent, But if so, I don't consider him a successful player.

Successful players for me are those who always succeed, players who spend all their money and get into trouble to get money and finance their games. For me , they are players who are addicts, in fact addicted players have many problems, for example debts. In the bank , Debts with your friends , debts with everything, your friends do not want you because they lend money and cannot pay later, this is something that manifests itself and must be lent so that no more is given, in this order of ideas I see it In that way, I understand that those things are the ones that will always be seen as different ways by some people, I respect that, I only give my point of view that may or may not be right, but a person who earns money and does not take a life of debts and problems Because she is not addicted, maybe she really likes coffee and likes to explain the thing about who they are , that's how they want to see it.
An addicted gambler thinks differently than someone who uses gambling as entertainment. They tend to want to be in the casino for a long time and don't want to do other things and gamble with their money or borrow money from other people. Those who have become addicted to gambling will not think about anything other than gambling, making them unable to think clearly about what they are doing. They gamble because they feel that only gambling can give them pleasure, so they don't want to do other things even though those other things can also give them pleasure. However, successful gamblers are also different from those who are addicted to gambling because successful gamblers have boundaries in gambling so that they do not experience gambling addiction. Successful gamblers may have a goal of making money, but they do not allow themselves to get too deep into gambling and always limit themselves in trying to make money.

These successful gamblers can use their abilities to make money and know when they should stop and make good use of their winnings. They will not want to chase their winnings if the situation and conditions are no longer possible because they have a lot of experience in playing gambling, so they can prevent losing a lot of money. Successful gamblers always try not to let themselves get into trouble, and with their experience, they can find ways to overcome problems. They also won't want to borrow money to gamble because it won't work for them. His experience says that it is better for them to gamble with their own money rather than borrow money from other people. But each gambler has their own goals and has a way of how they can gamble, although some gamble excessively. However, some gamblers can still control themselves while gambling, so they are the ones who avoid gambling addiction problems.
488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 15, 2024, 06:21:51 AM
One of the most important factor of a successful gambler is to know when to stop, most gamblers expecially the addictive type don't even know what is stop when it comes to gambling. So it's very important to;
I've encountered this topic many times before. A gambler needs to recognize and control their habits before they become addicted. Once addiction sets in, it becomes challenging to stop because gambling becomes a frequent habit. Knowing when to stop is very important for responsible gambling, reducing spending, managing wins and losses. It also helps prevent unintentional addiction. If someone can regulate how often they gamble, they might avoid falling into addiction.

Gambling should be for fun and a chance to earn a bit from time and money spent. If a gambler gets the wrong idea and starts gambling too often, it becomes difficult to quit.
That is why a gambler needs to learn self-control to prevent himself from gambling excessively. He will not gamble for too long because he will realize that it will make him lose more money. Knowing when to stop allows him to keep himself conscious while gambling, and he will not want to chase winnings because that will only make him lose his money. It is true that by having self-control, he can prevent gambling addiction because he will not try too hard to gamble.

Knowing when to stop gambling will be a limitation for a gambler always to understand that gambling is just entertainment. He can gamble moderately even with not much money because that is enough for him.
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You'll be a discipline gambler in sports if you have a real bankroll. on: January 15, 2024, 05:50:20 AM
~snip~
Discipline may differ like courses we read in school. A gambler may be disciplined in managing his bank roll but can't repeat same expertise in managing the time he gambles. Hence, he won't get the actual fun of gambling. Because one needs to enjoy their habit for a little bit longer. If a gambler is not able to gamble with his bankroll up to the time it pleases him. Wouldn't deem himself as a gambler that those the right thing for himself. Therefore, if a gambler could manage his bank roll and battle with time management. He could end up failing himself someday. As these factors have similar connection, so is the brain and the body of the gambler. The player may not have the ability to sustain his money management skill if he's proficient in time management.
A gambler must learn discipline to manage their money and also their time when gambling so that they do not lose large amounts of money. There are still many who cannot consider gambling as entertainment and instead want to make money from gambling. That is why there are still many people who lose large amounts of money, and that is because they cannot control themselves while gambling. And even if you have a large bankroll, it will not guarantee that you will have good discipline because it depends on how you can manage the use of the money. But indeed, having a large bankroll can make someone bet big money and can also make them gamble longer than usual. They have to be careful if they have a large bankroll, and they should be able to control themselves well so they can avoid big losses.

Forums like these may be knowledge goldmines, especially for beginners. The experience shared here is priceless, right? Veteran gamblers typically have stories that match blockbusters. After experiencing highs and lows, their stories can warn and guide. It's like a trusted sailor navigating dangerous waters - comforting but thrilling

Your emphasis on responsible gambling is correct. It's refreshing to hear someone promote moderation in an excess-prone sector. I've always thought gambling should be like drinking excellent wine, not shots at a bar. The golden rule is to gamble what you can afford to lose. It's entertainment, not work. Understanding this lets people enjoy gambling as a game. Dance on a knife's edge is exhilarating but safe provided you know the steps
The experience of each member is very valuable for those who are still beginners at gambling to learn from so they can know what is needed to play gambling. On this forum, many veteran gamblers have a lot of experience and always share their experiences in gambling so that novice gamblers can learn from them and also ask about all things related to gambling. This will increase their knowledge about gambling so that they can know what needs to be prepared, studied, and taken care of while gambling and know how to use gambling as entertainment.

Betting what we can afford will always be the best advice for every gambler, whether they are beginners or veteran gamblers, because that way, they will not gamble excessively. When their money is almost gone, they will definitely be ready to end the gambling game and will not try to deposit another amount of money just to continue gambling. They know that it will only pose greater risks for them, so they must be able to avoid it. By always staying within his limits, a gambler will have no difficulty controlling himself and can also stop himself in time before his money runs out.

For those who are skeptical about getting involved into their grandmothers activity then the best approach or actions to be made is to reach out whether your father or mother on which they are
the ones who would really be making out such explaination or would really be telling it to your grandma basing up on what she's doing. For sure she would really be listening on what your parents would be telling. it is really just that there are really things which arent really be that allowed to be done specially when you are old where your sense and decision making is really not that active or something
that would be vague.There are ones who are really that able to quit up but most likely you would really be tending to enjoy on what you are currently dealing with.
Contacting the people closest to him so he can help his father stop gambling is worth doing because getting help from other people closest to him can help his father realize that what he is doing is wrong. Usually, if his grandmother or grandfather gave him advice, his father might listen more so that his father could start reducing his gambling activities. Even though his grandparents couldn't help much, at least his grandmother could give valuable advice to his father so that all family members could help his father get out of gambling quickly.

My monthly income is enough to meet my daily needs, and there is still some money to save and invest. But I don't think mentioning the figure is appropriate, so I guess it's under 10% of my total salary. I'm also not an active gambler, and I only gamble sometimes if I really want to gamble. I also never force myself always to take promotions offered by casinos because I know it is too heavy for me because of the terms and conditions, which might exceed my budget for gambling. Additionally, I am also trying to really reduce my gambling activities so that most of the time, that budget is still there and ready to be used. I feel I am not aggressive in gambling because I use gambling as entertainment that I don't use too often to get pleasure.
493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's The Weirdest Alibi Of Gamblers So They Can Continue Gambling? on: January 14, 2024, 11:34:55 PM
If I don't gamble, I don't feel enthusiastic about living my days. I just want to gamble using a few dollars for a while, and then I will leave the casino. Perhaps that's what someone who has gambled so often would say, so if they don't gamble, they feel like something is missing in their days. But maybe there are many other reasons we think are strange enough to be an excuse. But whatever your reason, you must still be able to control yourself well so you don't lose much money. And don't make gambling your excuse because gambling is just entertainment, and we must be able to treat it wisely.
494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What strategies do you adopt that can help to make millions in sport betting on: January 14, 2024, 09:46:43 PM
I have never had a big win as a gambler. I'm not too brave to place large bets, so if I win, the winning amount is never big, but that's okay because it's enough for me. But some people can get big wins from sports betting and use big money to place their bets, so it's normal if they can get big wins. But it will come back to the analysis you do because if your analysis loses, even if you place a large bet, you will lose the money if the team you choose loses in that match. Although it is possible, it will not be easy for the average gambler because they only place bets with money they can afford and never place excessive bets.
495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 14, 2024, 09:15:17 PM
My father is a gambler in my family, but I never really advised him to stop gambling. Perhaps witnessing those things since I was a child made me realize that I am the one causing the problem and there is nothing that causes us to change. I have also seen creditors come to my house, but tragic situations appeared, but honestly, I find these things quite normal. I don't want to advise because I understand it's useless, I just secretly wish them one day to be aware of their responsibilities in life, and they're not bad for presenting an image for everyone to see nuances in life.
I think you can try to get your father to do something that can make him leave gambling and not think about gambling. If the strategy is successful, you can continue to invite and involve him in other activities so that he will slowly reduce his gambling activities. Perhaps this will be hard for your father, but believe me, there's no harm in trying. After all, it is for your father's sake, and you want to see your father distance himself from gambling. For this reason, you as the child must try to keep your father away from gambling and keep him busy doing other things that can take up most of his time so that he will not think about gambling. You can also ask other family members to help you invite your father to other activities. With the support of the whole family, your plan will succeed, and it's best not to tell your father about your plan because there is a possibility that he won't want to do it. So just do it without him knowing so he won't think that you are keeping him away from gambling.

Now when it comes to realizing that you are affected by physical symptoms of stress, there are also some exercises for that. You can look up breathing techniques, and see if these help you. Even the simplest form of breathing in from the nose and exhaling deeply and slowly while sitting down can be very helpful for some.
You forget to add stopping for a few days, stopping will reset everything for you especially if you are feeling tense because of your losses, this is how some gamblers do it, they stop for a few days some as long as one week so they can think clearly and forget their losses I did it once I stopped for a couple of days after losing big and the couple of days of vacation did wonder on my anxiety I got a perspective and learned a lot from that experience.
As long as they have the intention to stop their gambling activities, they can try it to see the results. Stopping gambling for a few days can make us forget what we have experienced so that when we return to gambling, our minds will be fresh again. But the anxiety will keep coming back as long as you can't calm yourself in any situation, so you should practice other methods that can help relieve the tension or anxiety you are experiencing. Inhaling from the nose and exhaling slowly can also be a solution to reducing a person's level of anxiety or nervousness. By doing lots of practice, we will get used to it so we won't feel anxious or nervous anymore because we can control ourselves well.
497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: January 14, 2024, 04:56:32 PM
You can earn something in gambling, but most likely these earnings will not be permanent, I draw some analogies with trading, there will always be winning and losing bets, and how good a gambler you are will determine your balance for a period, a week or a month.

In gambling, there are games in which you can rely only on luck, like roulette, but there are other games in which the result will largely depend not only on luck, but also on your skills and knowledge. If you choose a narrow direction and work in it, then over time the results can improve.
Most of those who have won want to repeat their win by gambling again. Unfortunately, they couldn't get another win for a while, and that made them curious, so they continued their gambling game. Yes, gambling depends on luck, but there are indeed gambling games that rely on skill and knowledge to play gambling. But still, if you don't have luck, it will be difficult for you to win, and there is a possibility that you will lose a lot of money, especially if you don't have self-control in gambling. We should not put too much hope in gambling to win and make money because gambling is just entertainment. And the longer you gamble, there is a possibility that you will experience loss, so you should always limit your gambling.

Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ?  If not, how much you think is sufficient to retire as Gambling winning ?
Retiring as a gambler is very difficult for some people. just like the way they said that winners don quite. its also difficult for gamblers to quit. Gambling is a kind of game that no matter the wining you've made, there is that curiosity to have more. Not only applicable to gambling but to our everyday life. No matter the amount we have at hand doesn't satisfies us because that is human nature.
So I find it difficult for gamblers to retire with big win.
We are still too far from retiring as gamblers who won big wins because we are just small gamblers who cannot gamble all the time. We realize that gambling depends on luck, so it is still difficult for us to win gambling games. And yes, there is a feeling of curiosity that will follow us when we always experience continuous losses, and that is what makes us continue to choose to gamble because we think that one day we will be able to get a big win from gambling and can decide to retire from gambling. But after we get that big win, we don't immediately decide to stop gambling because we still want to win where our greed is too big to control.

~snip~
I would never go and deposit at a casino only on the basis that it is offering good affiliate commission and i can spread my affiliate link to my family and friends so i get commission. This should not be the criteria of choosing a gambling casino. First thing for me in choosing and playing at a casino is that it should be trusted one and offers the games which i intend to play. If it offers good affiliate commission, it will be bonus for me.
That is a good move on your part, especially if we don't know the casino well. There may be many casinos that offer attractive and good affiliate commissions. But we need to check the casino to find its reputation so we don't choose the wrong one. Finding out the truth that the casino is trusted must be done so that we don't make a mistake in choosing a casino for gambling, and we can also use the affiliate link to share with friends via social media.

So make sure that you can choose a trusted casino and always check the casino status on this forum before you register. This is to avoid unnecessary problems.
If the casino is bad one and i just created the account to gain affiliate commission then i may get some commission if i spread my link but i won't be feeling good as i am spreading a scam casino or a bad casino only to gain few bucks for my personal benefit. I think we should first care about other rather than thinking only about our affiliate commissions.
If it's a bad casino, we won't be able to collect affiliate commissions because the casino won't want to pay us to help them spread their affiliate links to many sites. The casino will only cheat its members, including members who share their affiliate links, to get their affiliate commission. We have to be careful with that and not be tempted by big affiliate commissions.

Like what I mentioned,  it's better to separate your gambling activities to your work schedule,  if you don't want to create any messed with your job, you should take all the responsibilities and complete what you are being paid for, the leisure should  be separated as it should be done outside your workplace,  being professional is also  being responsible,  else, you will both messing with your financial source and your potential gambling addiction.
Hopefully, we never get involved in unnecessary things like that so we can focus on our work. We must not allow ourselves to be defeated by desires that tell us to gamble wherever we are because we are in control of ourselves. By always remembering where we are and what we are doing, we hope that we can position ourselves well and that nothing will interfere with our work. We don't want to be fired by our office because we gamble, which we can do after work. We must try to be professionals at work even though we don't have a position because we are accepted to work to have income that can be used to meet our daily needs.
