541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 11, 2024, 09:25:16 PM
One thing I have observe mostly about gambling is that the more effort you put into it, just to get back what you have lost,  the more you will be milk dry, so your friend saying that playing everyday gives him more opportunities to winning is just fantasies.
Let me tell you, by doing so, there are two things that will happen to him, which comes with high probability, which are addiction or financial liquidation.
So if he is truly your friend, talk to him as a friend not to go that dark ugly looking lane.
In  gambling winnings comes when you are lucky that day, it mostly comes when you least expected, so he should stop trying to force it.
Both can happen to gamblers who are more concerned with gambling than doing other things. Those who gamble every day will not want to do anything else, and it will not give good results for them because they can become addicted and also lose their money. Many gamblers have experienced these two things, and they have even happened a long time ago, so before they happen to us, we must be able to control ourselves when gambling. There is no harm in taking a break from gambling for a few days, especially to relieve tension after getting results from gambling. By resting, we can think about what results we get from gambling so that we can decide wisely. So playing gambling every day will not give good results because it can make us lose self-control in managing money for gambling. We should not force ourselves to gamble every day because we also have to divert our minds from gambling so we can avoid gambling addiction.

A gambler whose relative depend on for their basic needs like payment of bills, feeding etc would suffer most from the consequences of the addicted gambler, of course we knew how such gamblers blew up their money in their bid to win a jackpot unfortunately money that is suppose or meant to cater and to take care of their dependant relatives was wasted on irrelative thing it's a pity that relatives of some addicted gamblers had been passing through hardship caused by an individual to make matters worse many of those addicted gambler would never listen to counsel or advice until they ended up bankrupt.
If the gambler uses the money for his daily needs, it will make it difficult for his family to meet his needs. The gamblers don't know about that because they only know about gambling and trying to win. Even if they knew, it would not stop them from placing bets because they would rather use their money to bet than pay their bills or meet their family's daily needs. He can no longer see the interests of his family, and his family also feels the impact of what he does in gambling, so they all feel the impact equally. This condition will indeed be made worse if the gambler's addiction gets worse and it is difficult to cure him. Everything will fall apart, and it will not be easy to heal the pain in his heart because his family has suffered the consequences of his gambling actions. A gambling addict may also no longer pay attention to his family because he has changed and is different from before.

In playing gambling, everyone has a different game rime or is just looking for profit in gambling, there are two types, they are curious or have small capital but are looking for big profits, usually those who use small capital will be much more effective in seeking profit in every gambling, whatever the form, they are actually more reliable in looking for opportunities to double their capital and become better at betting.
Small capital, but they re-deposit another amount of money to continue will not be effective because it will only make them experience further losses. But if it is a small capital balanced with timing, it will keep them from losing large amounts of money because they always remember that they should not gamble for too long. Whatever strategy they use may not work long because casino algorithms will inevitably change. If it's like that, gamblers will find it difficult to win unless they test their strategies one by one. But it will require more money to test it. They will have to gamble for some time to see how effective the strategy is. And if within that period, they don't succeed, they have to look for another strategy and test it again and so on, until they get the right strategy. Unfortunately, the right strategy will not last long, and they must find another strategy. And so it goes so that it will not stop unless the gambler decides to stop gambling.

In gambling there is something called opportunity, where opportunity itself always makes gamblers forget to be careful and they tend to take careless actions when there is big opportunity in front of them.
There will be efforts to try their luck to be able to win the bet.
Whether they will use more money or use savings, but what is clear is that gamblers will feel an interest in wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to win.
It just that this is quite big mistake because they forget the risks and consequences of what they are doing, so they will feel that it might be threat to their psychology due to the failure that occurs.
It is better to have the right approach to gambling, such as having the mindset that the casino always has an advantage and we as gamblers will always lose if we have the ambition to win bets.
That way, we as gamblers will only bet on things that are worth betting on according to what we have without involving excessive money that could be lost and get us into trouble.
If gamblers only understand opportunities without understanding that there are risks behind them, they will only experience more and more losses. And they also won't be able to accept the risk of losing because they only understand the opportunities without understanding the risks. If they don't try to understand the risks behind the opportunities, they will not be able to prevent losing more and more money because they feel that their chance of winning is still there and will try to pursue it. In fact, by pursuing this opportunity, they will only experience losing money because gambling uses money, so they will have to experience more losses. And it's a big mistake if they can't understand the risks because it will stop them from depositing more money just to get that chance of winning. If they could see the contents of their account, their money was running low, and soon it would run out if they couldn't stop it as soon as possible. They will be very sorry because they have spent all their money and cannot recover their losses because the money is already gone. As wise gamblers, we must be able to look at the situation and check how much money we have used to gamble so that we must be able to try to stop gambling. Otherwise, we'll just run out of all the money.

There are a lot of gamblers who doesn't understand what gambling is all about and I think you have to repeat this statement so that others can also be aware of it.
I can proudly say that games do not force anyone to get on them, both gamblers or not, it do not force people to stake on any.
But most times, a lot of people blame gambling for their actions, just because they can not control them self but them just want to gamble to see if they can win or get profits.
However, it is only those that do not understand why gambling is all about that will do so, or blame others for their actions, like me, as I am gambling safely, I can not blame anyone for any actions because no body forced me to gamble.
Indeed, gambling does not force people to gamble like other people do. Those who want to participate in gambling choose it themselves without understanding what needs to be prepared before they gamble. This is what makes many people fall into gambling, making them unable to get out of gambling easily. When gambling, they should have the ability to control themselves so that instead of losing a lot, they can prevent that from happening and enjoy gambling as entertainment. Yes, we can't blame other people for what they do, but we can still advise them always to be careful when gambling and not lose a lot of money. If they don't want to listen to us, that's up to them, and it's a risk they have to bear if they lose a lot of money because they gamble excessively.
546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: January 11, 2024, 04:25:33 PM
there are still many who can't understand and play it correctly, because maybe they think they're right with the goal of winning, even though what is clear is that the results cannot be predicted, right? ?
Sometimes people play a lot for fun but have no control over the time and amount of bets, this is wrong and will lead them to experience bad things in their lives later. Therefore, in playing gambling well, you don't need to overdo your pursuit of victory, especially considering that gambling can make a lot of money, which is a wrong idea.
That's because they have a goal to win the gambling game, so they have difficulty stopping gambling, and their intention to stop gambling will just disappear. Moreover, if they can win, they will intend to continue gambling again to get another win. They don't realize that it will pose a greater risk, especially if they have already won, but instead want to go back to gambling again. People who have a lot of time and spend gambling will slowly experience problems that they might not have expected. They don't think they will get a problem like that, so they can't solve it. They just think that gambling can get rid of the problem even though it doesn't. We must prevent ourselves from gambling again, especially when we have won, to avoid greater risks.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: January 11, 2024, 03:58:26 PM
Right every gamblers use there own strategy own rules own money for gambling and when he win all the wining money use alone for there personal things so he will nor able to blame someone for his loss. Those who blame others for their losses are not aware of the gambling rules and are unaware of the risks involved in gambling thinking it is an easy way to make money. So he is not worth gambling.  Such people should stay away from gambling.
And when he loses, that is the risk of gambling, and if he doesn't want to lose, he should not gamble and leave gambling forever so that he can be free from that loss. Unfortunately, it won't be as easy as it says because when someone has started gambling, there will be a feeling of wanting to gamble again, and this can get worse depending on one's self-control. And when they get too deep into gambling, they will find it difficult to stop themselves from gambling. So they actually can't blame other people for gambling because it was their own choice to want to gamble and feel the sensation of gambling. People like that have to experience loss before realizing that what they did was wrong and trying to fix it, even though it is difficult.
548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: January 11, 2024, 03:31:46 PM
~snip~
Of course because in gambling there are only two end results if you don't win it means you lose at that time, and all the choices are in your own hands, like you said if they really don't want to experience the problem of losing a certain amount of money then obviously there is no other choice but not to gamble, but unfortunately most gamblers now they are too focused on a chance of winning, simply want to win but don't want to lose and isn't that a loser? Obviously, however, you can't do anything in gambling to increase the winning percentage to be closer or bigger, because it all depends on how lucky you are in running the session, what you have to pay attention and think about is how to prevent you from losing a large amount if you really want to engage in gambling and that means you have to have very good self-control and be firm in limiting the gambling you do.

So the point is that your choice  will determine your fate in the future, in any case and not only applies to gambling, you need to really find out what gambling is really about  before you finally get involved, if you already know  and are ready for all  the possibilities that will occur then please all decisions are in your hands as long as you have good responsibility.
Losing a certain amount of money when gambling is normal because as long as we can limit the amount of money we lose, we will not experience losing a lot of money and exceeding the budget we have set. However, many people still gamble more than the amount of money they use, so they experience more losses. They are not ready to lose money, so they continue gambling and hope to win some money in the next round. However, we must be able to prevent losing a lot of money from gambling, especially as we want to avoid gambling addiction, which many people have experienced. That is why we must be able to prevent ourselves from gambling excessively because it will disrupt our financial position.

And instead of experiencing more losses when playing gambling, we should prevent this by always implementing limits. This will make us try to learn to be responsible and really try to prevent gambling addiction. We can decide what is best for us, especially since we have seen the consequences experienced by other gamblers, where many of them end up having problems after they finish gambling.

If gambling is not about winning and losing or if there is only a chance of winning and there is absolutely no possibility of risk occurring then obviously there is no problem if you want to borrow money to gamble, but obviously as you said about what if we lose? of course it will be very difficult to feel okay when you are in a situation like that, which is why it is always not recommended to gamble using borrowed money, you will get a lot of pressure and problems from the gambling you do and also from the money you borrow.

So obviously we should emphasize a proper understanding of gambling and also maintain awareness, I think with that you will not be rash in making every decision, you will be more able to consider everything with a precaution for the sake of financial balance.
That's what we have to ask ourselves, whether we are the borrowers of the money or the people who lend the money to others. We will be in unpleasant situations and conditions because we know each other well, and because of money problems, our relationship with him will become uncomfortable. That's what we have to think about, but it seems like people who want to borrow money from us won't think about it because what's important to them is how they can get their money immediately. If this happens, we shouldn't lend money to anyone who wants to use the money for gambling because that will make each of us feel uncomfortable.

We must explain to people who want to borrow money to gamble that this will only make things difficult for us. It would be better for him to use his money for other things besides gambling. We can also refuse to give loans to people who want to use them for gambling, and they don't force us to lend them money.

Why not? As long as they are breathing, they can always make up to the time that they lost. They can skip gambling next time and spend those time instead to the people closest to them. If those people truly value us, they will always give us another chance.

But, if let say they don't want to, I think it is still possible to build a relationship again with other people. And maybe next time we should choose those people that has the same interest as us, so that they can understand us easily and we can also bond together at most times. Many of us gamblers are lucky that we still have a stable relationship to the people around us. We should learn from this topic and try to be more careful when gambling.
What happened today will not happen again on another day. And even if it happens, it won't be the same as today because time keeps turning. If we lose time with those close to us, we may feel that something is different or has changed with them, especially when we gamble more often and are not with them when they are together. There will be something lost between us, and they will feel it, too, so we cannot turn back time. But we can stay with them, especially when we can reduce our gambling activities so that we will spend more of our free time with them.

Of course, it will feel different if we are in a relationship with other people who are not the people who are usually close to us. They will also feel the same way because before we gamble more often, we already have a close relationship with them that cannot be replaced by anything. And that is why we have to balance everything well so that no disturbance occurs between us and those near us.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: January 11, 2024, 02:19:23 PM
~snip~
And the most important thing is that the casino staff understands and understands the condition of someone who might be considered crazy by other gamblers. Staff understands better what the situation is and that is why there have never been riots caused by mentally unstable customers.
From cases like this we can conclude that not everyone who is considered bad or has bad appearance will also commit bad actions because person condition cannot be truly understood just by looking at their appearance.

Maybe there are similar things in other places, especially in densely populated places, gambling in several countries where it is legal has mushroomed and is known by people from all walks of life and all ages.
Even if you visit rural places, you will be able to find gamblers who really look shabby, unlike casinos in big cities.
I think that if every incident does not cause problem then it can still be considered normal for it to happen.
With the readiness of the casino staff for every visitor who comes, you can be sure that the casino will not experience any disturbances so that all visitors can gamble comfortably and calmly. The casino can attract even more visitors. Casino staff will also know more about the customers who come to their casino because they will check each customer to make sure their purpose is to gamble. People with a bad appearance do not mean they will do bad things, but some people dress differently from most people. They also want to be treated like other people.

This also happens in other countries, but we don't know the location. And that's only natural because maybe the media doesn't report it, so only a few people know about it. Of course, it will be different if we gamble in rural and urban areas because the customers will also be different, and the atmosphere will also be different.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 11, 2024, 01:42:27 PM
All u need to know about "expert" is what markets he's betting on
if he's sharing bets from most popular markets like Premier League NBA ATP etc then there is basically 100% chance he's not making ANY profit

Actual experts do exists tho, it's just not easy not find them
I agree with the sentences I have outlined in bold because they don't want to be known by many people. Otherwise, people would ask them for predictions and more people would ask for them once they found out if the expert's predictions were accurate. This will not make the expert comfortable because most people will invade his privacy so that he cannot do anything else. They would like to hide themselves from other people, and they will pretend that they don't know anything about betting. Experts like this can be called experts because they don't brag about their abilities in front of many people just because they want to get a sensation.
553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you win? on: January 11, 2024, 01:20:57 PM
It's hard to count how many times I've won in gambling. Before betting in gambling, not everyone understands the objectives in time so here the number of losses is more than the wins. If you are lucky it is possible to win a lot in a match but gamblers do not keep track of these numbers and even if they lose they keep betting again. I myself have won many times but lost more but never counted.
People's goals in gambling can change after they have been gambling for a while. I have found it in some friends who say they only gamble for fun. But after they gamble for two rounds or more, they increasingly seem eager to win, and some even try to recover their losses. Some of them have lost a lot of money, but that doesn't stop them from depositing another amount because they want to recover their losses and win. If we calculate the total wins and losses we have had, the number of losses will still be greater than the number of wins. This should make us aware that it seems like we have been gambling excessively, and we should be able to reduce our gambling activities so as not to use more money.
554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? on: January 11, 2024, 12:45:52 PM
I don't think luck overpowers all the skills, strategies, and updated information a person has in terms of winning in sportsbetting. A luck can suddenly flip the favor, but overall, it will still depend on the capability of the person in the team as well as their teamwork. Cooperation really makes a difference in a game. Tactics that the coaches give to the team during the whole game will matter too especially during the last part where it becomes a do or die situation. So it will really rely on the capabilities of each member of the team. Luck will only play a role but it won't solely carry the gameplay. You can win big amounts if you know the history of the team. Their records, the way they play, and checking the odds. Hence, you should not only relt on gut feel, rather base it on facts.
If someone doesn't have luck playing gambling, he really can't win even though that person has very good skills and strategy because we know how a match can change direction suddenly without us being able to predict it. We have to be able to pay attention to this because when the match situation changes while we place a bet on our favorite team, it will cause us to lose. But we can only analyze and place bets and leave it completely to the performance of our chosen team. We also have to be able to accept the results if the team we choose loses and causes us to lose money in sports betting. But we can still win other matches because we have the ability to analyze so we can choose a team that has a greater chance of winning than the opposing team, and there is no prediction about any changes while the match is in progress.
555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: January 11, 2024, 12:09:36 PM
~snip~
gamblers are used to registering without reading it since it's already a repetitive task. They've been reading those TOS their whole life that's why they only read it when something has happened already like their account got locked.

maybe because they don't have any plans to cheat so they never read those conditions after all their country isn't banned in most casinos too.
Yes, this is a mistake that gamblers often make because they don't want to be late for an event or want to gamble at the casino immediately. They forget to understand the terms and conditions and think that the terms and conditions at each casino will be the same even though they will vary for each casino. Even if they have no intention of cheating, reading the terms and conditions of the casino is necessary to know what is and is not allowed so that they will not violate them. By knowing the terms and conditions, they will know what things can trigger them into trouble so they can avoid them before they get into trouble.
556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Answer this Gambling Question on Duration of Joy after a win or loss on: January 10, 2024, 10:29:31 PM
Losing in gambling makes you feel bad inside and brings excitement but it doesn't stop you from the excitement of the next bet. More movement can cause more damage. I've never bet that way but I lost once so that stopped it altogether. If you don't have good experience it is not possible to avoid risk so you have to keep it for a long time and move towards winning later.
If you have lost from gambling and don't want to stop gambling, you have to prepare yourself for whatever will happen in the next round, and that means you can experience bigger losses because you have used more time than usual. You should pay attention that it does not guarantee a win even if you use a longer time because no one knows when you can win. If you gamble later, you have to be careful because many temptations will come to you when you are gambling, making you forget to control yourself so that you will use up more money and time. That's where your losses will get bigger, and if you don't stop gambling immediately, you could have the chance of experiencing bigger losses.
557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: January 10, 2024, 09:51:41 PM
Arrogance works in almost all people and it is not right to apply them in the gambling stage. Having a great desire to win can have a negative impact on day-to-day activities as it is not possible to know when it will actually happen. That's why you have to stick to caution without feeling arrogant about betting and deal with risk by presenting your arguments well.
It is natural for many people to be arrogant because it will arise when we are making big profits. We tend to underestimate other people and may not think that they can have the same luck as us. And when we feel that our abilities are better than other people's, we will try to take greater risks than we use. But the results will not be as expected because we are already arrogant. And if they can't control their arrogance, it's only a matter of time before they see someone else can beat them and achieve greater victory than they did. That's why we need to learn self-control to control all the negative feelings that will come out when we win.
558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you willing to bet $50 spin for a chance to win $42 million? on: January 10, 2024, 09:20:39 PM
This thread is inspired by the thread created by sportsbet.io about a lucky bettor who won $42 million on a $50 spin.

So let's discuss. This kind of win can be compelete considered based on luck, and the winner is so lucky that he hit the Jackpot. However, since the goal here is $42 million and you can only win that if you would bet $50 for one spin. So, do you have the courage to do that?
Honestly, I'm willing to take a risk just one time to check my luck. If I don't get it, it's okay because that's really part of life and at least you try because if you get it, it's really a jackpot. It is guaranteed that your life will change in as little as 50$. Don't be afraid to try if you have too much because maybe later it will be allocated to you, if you don't have too much and you need that money then don't try.
If you accept the risk of losing that $50, it's okay, and you can try it. But I suggest not trying it too often because it could harm you. We don't know when you will be lucky enough to win the gambling game. You will lose that $50 if you still want to try it another day, and even if you still have that $50, I think it's better to save the money and not use it for some time. When you fail the first time, you will think about doing it again the next time, and it will happen again and again until you can get that big win. But the problem is that you don't know when you can win and how much money you must use to win that big win.
559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: January 10, 2024, 05:58:57 PM
Getting into the world of gambling is really risky don't have a backup I think it's more of a problem for the middle class to consider gambling as a primary source of income because they have less money and can't bet more if they lose and then they lose and become depressed. But in the case of the rich it is completely different. They have a lot of money. If they lose they can easily compensate the loss by doubling the bet. If you don't have enough money it's better to find other ways to work other than gambling. consider gambling as a source of income will not gain anything from it rather will face more losses.
I agree with this. It's completely a different scenario between upper class, middle class, and lower class people. Those who belong into the higher bracket of the society have it lighter when they lose because they have much at their disposal. They can just bet whenever they want because they have the money to fund their betting and playing habits. It won't hurt as much if they lose what they risked because most of them are playing for entertainment anyway. And a win is just a bonus. Meanwhile, those who belong to the lower class will probably be hurt and affected with unforeseen losses. Since most if not all are gambling for the profit. The rich can indeed easily compensate for the loss and move on, while it takes time for the poor to recover.
The problem is that gambling can attract people from various circles to try their luck, and this also includes poor people who want to try their luck. But those who don't have a lot of money cannot try gambling for a long time because there is limited money, and they have to be able to use their time as best as possible. If they still lose too, they will come back another time and that is what will keep happening over and over again. Those who try to make gambling a source of income will regret it after finding out that they have lost a lot of money and they cannot recover their losses. That is why we must be able to avoid thinking about trying to make gambling our main income because we will only have difficulty getting it, and in fact, we will lose a lot of money.

~snip~
Loan money that been used for gambling is not part of the budget,  when you lose that amount you are obligated to repay it, it's not easy to put that money back since it's not in your actual monthly budget,  better to gamble using your spare money,  I guess there are people who suffer with that same situation with OP, thinking that he can grow that loan money and be lucky to enjoy decent amount of winnings but it turned against him and now  he needed to repay that loan money.
If someone has a budget for gambling, he should not need to borrow money to gamble. That will only make it difficult for him, especially when he experiences a lot of losses. He had to spend more money from his budget to be able to pay back the loan money. He should use money from his own budget so that he doesn't have trouble paying back the money he borrowed so that whether he loses or wins, it won't be a problem for him. Perhaps there really is someone who can grow the borrowed money and enjoy big wins to pay back the borrowed money. But not many people can do this because most people will experience losses from gambling so they still have to pay back the money they borrowed.
