101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: May 03, 2024, 05:48:16 PM

Every parents want the best for their children and hiding to play games shows that there is something wrong with what you are doing, I could remember some families while growing up where the first son will have to steal some local currencies from the mothers bag just to go and play WHOT with his friend and still he will come back dry or either beaten up by his senior gambling colleague. So when I see some people hide to play gamble , and when I remember what some people said that gambling is for fun . I will be confused because you cannot be having fun and you are hiding so there are so many things behind their actions which they do not want to unveil .

You are right and most of the time that kind of curiosity push you to seek for more information, what more if you are just a kid and you see that someone who are enjoying with something but they are trying to hide it? I guess it confused in many ways, but there are always a reason behind on why a person will hide this kind of activities, and the common on is they don't want to argue or to take care of someone's opinions about their gambling participations.

It's a self- decision which will not uncover to whatever extent, they want to hide it becuase there's reason that they wanted to keep
and it's their rights to observe whatever they think that will be good for them.

I think there are quite a lot of factors as to why they hide the activity from the public eye especially from their children, the first is probably because gambling has a very negative viewpoint in the area so they hide their involvement in order to avoid some negative criticism, the second is they know that it is a negative or dangerous activity that should be avoided which makes them hide their involvement from young children because they know that gambling can destroy a child's life in the future.

Of course everyone has their own reasons as to why they hide things from others, and if we are talking about gambling then yes one of the most common reasons I think is what I have said above, because if for example you are involved in one of the things that are natural and reasonable then there is no way someone will hide it, meaning there is always a certain reason.

Go home whenever you're loosing in gambling after several attempts to make win, you don't have to force it coming when the luck is not there for the day, if we did not make it that same day doesn't mean that we cannot have more opportunities on other coming days ahead, we should know that gambling is not only a win for win game, we have to win and lose combination to add up to the fun to always have to discuss about it.
That's right, never force yourself to return the money you have lost from gambling by doubling your bet.
When you lose, it's better to be aware and admit that you have lost, then fix everything by working.

There are still many gamblers who use their basic money to gamble. that's a very bad thing. A gambler should have their own money to play with and even a small portion of their income, so that when they lose they will not make decisions that tend to make them worse off.

This is the importance of having responsibility as a gambler, all gamblers have the chance of winning and also have the possibility of losing and after all that is what gambling is always about two things namely the chance of winning or the possibility of losing which one of the two things will always be the answer at the end of the gambling session that you have done, meaning that gambling is not only about the chance of winning but the possibility of losing can never be separated, after all this is the system that exists in gambling which is always about winning and losing.

So maybe I would say that you are a loser if you only want to win but are not ready to accept the risk of losing, after all chasing losses will always be a bad idea which actually in the end will only harm yourself because there is absolutely no guarantee of any success when you chase losses in gambling and in some cases the opposite happens, instead of successfully reaching the recovery phase but what happens is that the amount you lose is even greater. Another thing is that I agree with you that try to always gamble with a budget that is not used for other needs in your life, prioritize the needs of your life that are more important than just gambling, and if for example you have some money that is not used then yes it doesn't matter if you want to allocate it to gambling.
103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamers using demo account on: May 03, 2024, 04:57:05 PM
How true is this rumor? This is very popular on our local streamer comment section that streamers is just using a demo account with enhance winning rate on all slot games to showcase huge win while they are playing.

I knew that only slot game provider has the power to change the RTP of the slot games but some of the comment is from other streamers that has same experience on using demo account.



I understand what you are talking about. Personally, I have not caught the hand of any of the streamers and I have no proof that they are doing this. But I am initially distrustful of such things. Of course, they can use a demo account to show what is actually not there and to achieve their own interests. He can use a demo account, and the person looking at this will use his real money.
Everything that happens on the Internet, especially related to gambling or cryptocurrency or various types of earnings, should be treated with caution.

Yes basically we do not have strong evidence to make assumptions about the stremers who broadcast lies to really be believed, but I think we can here prove it ourselves with the experiences we have experienced while we are involved in gambling which in my opinion and maybe also according to most people involved in gambling where getting a win especially in large quantities is very difficult, especially in a row but as we see that the stremers do it very easily and casually they managed to win a very large amount and this really looks tempting. While as long as I gamble honestly I have never had such easy wins, although I understand that luck can lead us to such results but still the process will not be as easy as the stremers do.

So I'm pretty sure that the stremers are screening using demo accounts that have been set up by the casino behind the scenes which makes everything easy to win, as you said and I agree with it that everything can happen on the internet and in the end it's clear that we really have to take care of ourselves carefully so that we don't easily get trapped and fall into the trap.
104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: May 03, 2024, 04:31:02 PM
If you're a gambling addicted user then it will be hard for you to make a savings from the ways you have been gambling because things will always be more attractive to you in gambling like to always have a continued process in gambling not minding on how it has cost you or the implication on the damage it could cause after which you're left with nothing more after gambling.

Of course, there is absolutely no way to save money when someone has entered or fallen into addiction, because no matter how much they have money, the first thing they think about is gambling, or that means there is no planning in terms of using the money other than gambling and gambling.

As we know that the name addiction means having excessive behavior towards something where they already have a very high interest in it, such as gambling and this habit can really cause a lot of problems in their lives, one of which is experiencing difficulties in meeting their daily needs or even experiencing family breakdown when they really cannot control or limit their gambling activities which can cause problems in the family economy. The point is that when someone is trapped or falls into an addiction to gambling then obviously it is a situation where they will experience many problems, especially in terms of finance and this is why we are always advised to always put a lot of restrictions on gambling, especially limiting expectations of winning.
105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: May 03, 2024, 04:12:30 PM
Gambling everyday only means two things, it's either you consider gambling as a source of livelihood or you're walking your way to addiction ( that's if you're not already an addict).
Either ways, both are still at your own detriment and at your own very expense, because considering gambling as a source of livelihood would even make you more committed because you want to make money out of it, and this often leads to getting your emotions stuck in the game, and we all know that when you gamble with your emotions, you could end up making some uncalculated and illogical decisions that could eventually cost you a lot.

And when you're on your way to addiction, it won't be the fun or the thrill that'll make you gamble everyday, but the irresistible urge to gamble, and this urge only leads to addiction and its better to avoid falling imto addiction at all, than sort for means to break out of it.

      -     Gambling every day is only good if you always win at the casino, but if you don't but instead you always lose then it is not a good habit or vice. Because it is possible that eventually it will end up in a task that the end result will not be good.

This kind of addiction is actually a serious addiction and it is difficult to get rid of it. Instead of looking for a good life, what is happening is that everyone relies on luck to earn money through gambling, which is very dangerous.

Yes but gambling is not about winning because however the possibility of defeat or loss will always be a part that can never be separated in gambling, meaning that no matter how the chances of winning will always be followed by the possibility of losing and that is natural because the name of gambling is always about two possibilities at the end of the session, namely between winning or losing,  And in addition there is absolutely no guarantee or certainty for all gamblers to be able to produce a win at the end of the session unless they have completed the session while on the other hand the possibility of defeat will continue to lurk, so that is the reason why you are prohibited from treating gambling excessively such as planning to gamble every day because in the end it is clear that what happens instead you will feel a lot of disappointment and regret.

The other thing is actually whatever type of addiction is still something that tends to always be excessive and something that is done in excess is always not good, especially if we talk about gambling where victory only depends on luck while the possibility of defeat can never be avoided completely and of course making gambling a place to earn is really dangerous.
106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: May 03, 2024, 03:53:47 PM
That's right and I would say that leaving some of the money from the winnings for the purpose of gambling at a later time is a smart approach to gambling, obviously it will be very beneficial that when one day you want to gamble again then you already have some money that you have set aside from some of the winnings that you have previously obtained, and I also sometimes like to do that when I do manage to get some winnings.

Basically yes we are all free in terms of using the money from the winnings, as you said that there are some gamblers who use it to party and enjoy it with some of their friends and some enjoy it alone, although basically everyone is free in terms of deciding to use the money but in the end it is still best to make a wise decision by enjoying some of it and setting aside some of it for gambling capital next time, and I understand that it is up to the gambler but I would say that it is not a real victory if you can't enjoy the results of your luck at all.
Good decisions and saving money for the game sounds good, but the fact of the matter is that it will work, but not for all players. Some will not be able to hold themselves until a certain period and will really want to spend this amount as quickly as possible when they have a click in their head. The trigger for this can be anything from sudden joy to a quarrel with a friend. I probably would also put it off if I won a big jackpot, but I’m not even sure of myself that I won’t take it sooner. There is an additional point that by playing with this set aside money, the player will only get excited and want to play for even more money. And of course he can find it, especially if he goes a little crazy and starts selling expensive things.

True, as you said that a very small population of gamblers can do that, most of them cannot ignore some aspects that tempt themselves such as greed, one of which is always the main trigger for someone to act crazier where usually what they do is return to risk the winning money with a very large number of multipliers because of the hope of being able to get a bigger amount which is actually still the name of victory is nothing more than a "chance".

Dissatisfaction and greed are always the main triggers for someone to take actions that are beyond common sense and all this they do without being based on a correct understanding of how gambling really is. And I would say that they are typical losers who come only to look for victory but are not prepared for any possibility of loss or defeat which will actually always be an inseparable part of gambling.
107  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The Illusion of Trading Success on: May 02, 2024, 08:17:58 PM
Yes it is true that those content creators who do the promotion do not force the audience to get involved in the world of trading or get involved in the broker they are promoting, but I think that is the scenario of promotion where they do not force people to join and get involved but on the other hand they show something that looks very tempting like "trading can make you rich" and obviously with this idea alone most people might quickly make the decision to get involved in the world of trading promoted by the content creators.
Yeah, but shouldn't we also blame those who are getting easily influenced by what they are listening to or watching? Isn't it the responsibility of an individual to do their research before they get involved in anything, especially if it involves finances? I think it is, and someone should do their research regardless of what they read, watch, or listen from anyone in the world.

From what I said earlier I have not led to a statement about who should be blamed because previously I only said about the scenarios carried out by content creators who do promotions or advertisements, but if the question is who should be blamed then of course both parties must be blamed, I mean the content creators are clearly the first to be blamed for showing something that doesn't match the reality and the second is as you said that the audience is also clearly to blame because they don't see things from various sides first and don't do a thorough consideration first using common sense and a rational point of view, But on the other hand we can't rule out the fact that that's what happens where there are always some people who are really very easy to be tempted by something that basically doesn't make sense and looks odd, another thing I would say is that the content creator or someone who promotes is the one who "triggers" the problem and the audience who sees is the one who is affected (even though they are also wrong), so what should be eliminated here, the impact or the trigger?

108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: May 02, 2024, 07:53:19 PM
This is extremely normal for people participating in gambling in public places. In the post, you did not mention where the area you are talking about in the story is? Is it legal to gamble there? And usually, according to my personal knowledge, most countries do not allow people to gamble for money in public places.

Besides, maybe their family and acquaintances are near the area where they gamble, so they don't want their acquaintances to know that they are gambling with large amounts of money. We cannot know whether any of them are taking money from their family's expenses to participate in gambling, so I think that is also the reason for them to hide their gambling.

In short, concealing gambling has many causes, but most of it is related to legal, social, financial and psychological issues of the player.

Besides as long as a person is gambling responsibly, no one else has any business knowing if that person gambles or not, an odd notion these days taking into account that many people share almost anything about their lives in social media or to anyone that is willing to listen, which is why anyone that keeps some sort of secret is viewed as suspicious, but at the end if a person does not want to share those experiences, they are within their rights to refuse.

In my opinion, sharing information about yourself and your hobbies on social networks is not a good decision, because none of us knows who may be interested in us and what the disclosed information may lead to in the future.

But I do not see anything wrong in the fact that my neighbor knows that from time to time I like to gamble. We are all different, but if your hobby does not contradict common sense, there is no reason to hide it from your acquaintances. Personally, I think so.

Yes because one of the reasons is that it is something that is private or it is something that should be kept private and not published in the public eye, especially if we are talking about gambling which as a whole usually has a negative point of view in the eyes of society where maybe they will assume that you are someone who has a bad personality because you are involved in gambling. Besides, I don't think there is any benefit in telling people about your involvement in gambling.

Regarding what you experienced maybe your neighbors don't really care about whatever other people do including people who are around them like you, but I don't think you should think positively because there are always people who don't show their feelings of dislike with reactions or facial expressions but they keep it in their hearts or it means maybe it could be that after your neighbors saw or found out that you were involved in gambling then they kept their feelings of dislike for you but with a normal face like nothing happened. Another thing is that I agree with you that if our hobby is not against common sense then there is no reason to hide it but if the context of the conversation is gambling then I think hiding it is much better.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: May 02, 2024, 06:43:59 PM
If we have experienced a lot of losses in gambling, we should just stop, don't expect too much to catch up on our previous losses. This will make you fall deeper into the abyss of your losses. Emotional control and financial management are needed when we start gambling. We should play only for entertainment, not to earn a living. Basically the gambling owner has arranged everything for you when playing, even if you have good skills. Not a single bookie made him go bankrupt, which makes the dealer rich from your losses while playing.
Stopping is probably the only good option we have when we lose in gambling because it is not wise to keep gambling even when you are losing because your luck won't magically change and you start winning all of a sudden and recover what has been lost, that isn't how gambling works in the first place because gambling is a business for its creators and it isn't a way for us gamblers to make money, so it is always only going to be profitable for them and not us.

Those who stay profitable in gambling are extremely lucky, and such sort of luck can only be found in a few among millions of gamblers. So, there is no point in trying to achieve what is almost impossible for you to achieve. This is why, it's better for a gambler to stop gambling when they lose.

That's right and there is no other decision that is wiser than stopping at the right time, especially when we experience several losses in a row. I understand that anyone doesn't like losing money, but what we have to understand here is that after all, luck can never happen. being chased because luck will only come by itself by chance and unexpectedly and maybe you have experienced that when you didn't really expect to win but the result ended up being winning.

Therefore, this is the reason why a gambler is always prohibited from using gambling as a place to make money or chase losses in gambling, because the problem is that luck will not always come according to what we want, on the other hand, it is a fact, as you said, that actually gambling is a business that will only benefit the casino itself, they take advantage of gamblers who misunderstand gambling who usually always gamble excessively and obviously the number of losses will definitely be greater than the winnings, therefore when you treat gambling excessively as with the aim of pursuing bigger wins, this is actually an idea that will only make the casino more profitable because the amount you lose will definitely be bigger.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another health benefit of online gambling on: May 02, 2024, 06:12:06 PM
In my opinion going to a physical casino has its advantages as well as disadvantages. It's okay to be entertained but there is no real guarantee of winning in gambling. If the person loses if he is sick it will be worse for his health. He will never recover physically if he worries too much after losing. In order to maintain his health he should keep himself occupied with activities other than gambling that will help him recover quickly.
considering his compromised health condition, it is better to avoid gambling first until he recovers.
However, if the person is a gambling addict, and cannot give up his gambling activities. It would be better in my opinion to keep gambling online rather than going to a physical casino.
At least by continuing to let him gamble can make him feel happy and increase his immunity. but sticks to a smaller budget allocation than usual when visiting the casino, and he also doesn't mind losing some of his money. rather than forcing him to immediately leave and stay away from gambling which makes his mind confused and that can also affect his health.

True, however what you suggest is the best decision for someone who is in a sick condition, a wise decision is to prioritize health over gambling because after all gambling is not a mandatory activity, and after all casinos never force gamblers to always be involved at all times in any condition, everyone must really be able to make decisions according to the situation and conditions. And yes it is true that if for example the story is that they are gamblers who have entered the addiction phase which I admit that it is very difficult to stop not gambling in any situation when they are already addicted then yes maybe the choice is like you said that make online casinos as an alternative, because if you force yourself to go to a physical casino with your sick condition then obviously it will be able to worsen your health.

But obviously overall the best option is actually not to engage in gambling at all especially when you are sick, but yes for those who are already addicted it is indeed difficult to do so, the other thing is of course as you said that we have to stick to a lot of restrictions that are useful to minimize things that are not wanted and actually this approach applies to all gamblers regardless of whether they are sick or not.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamers using demo account on: May 02, 2024, 05:49:43 PM
Honestly, I don't really know about whether the money used by the stremers to do promotional video shows is real money or just a demo account (fake money), but I think we should be able to realize it ourselves by thinking using a healthy mindset where I think if you are a gambler then you should realize that finding victory in gambling is not as easy as turning your palm, I understand and feel how difficult it is to get consecutive wins with large amounts especially if we play in online casino types such as slot games that purely rely on luck.

But as we see that the stremers really look very easy to get that big win, and honestly I don't see the reaction of concern from them at all when their balance has decreased even though the number of their multipliers is very large but in the end their promotional video shows are always closed with significant wins, and maybe you've seen stremers who managed to turn small money into very large, like $10 into $1000, although it might happen but I don't think the scenario will be that easy. There are quite a lot of irregularities that I see and I'm pretty sure that it's actually fake money or it means that they are playing on a demo account that has been provided by a casino that wants to promote by organizing everything behind the scenes to change the winning percentage to be easier for the stemser so that many people are interested and fall for it.
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It’s unlikely that anyone besides you will be happy with your winnings. on: May 02, 2024, 05:29:41 PM

True, the fact is that with money you can change everything or overcome any problem including changing this feeling to sympathy, and this will really happen when you are able to understand about the situation and circumstances, or that means you have to understand that they want something from you and not just pride because you won, they don't need something that can only be heard, but they also need something to taste.

This means that if you're bragging to people about something like gambling where you're really lucky and you've won a big win then you should at least give them a share, not a big share but at least give them some money from the winnings that they can enjoy, like you said which might be buying them a free cup of coffee, and with this then I think everything will still be fine, but if the scenario is that you're just bragging about the winnings without giving them any share then this is “something else”.

I understood that topic was not about bragging at all. People are just envy for other persons success. I notice many times, that when you achieve something difficult, something big, or win big, people always think that you are just a lucky mfker. Rarely they see all the work done by you before final result. But when you give them a little share of your reward, treat them with something free of charge, or just say "yes I am lucky, but get what, I believe you are going to catch your luck soon also", completely changes attitude.

Envious feelings can arise in any context or event but the point is that envious feelings will arise when they see that other people are superior to themselves, although yes I understand that not everyone is like that because there will always be some people who sympathize and say "congratulations" without any envy by showing a sincere smile. Another thing is that I agree with you that it is rare for people to see what we have done to achieve this success, most likely they will assume that we are nothing more than being lucky when behind the scenes we have done a lot of struggle to achieve this success.

If we were talking about gambling then yes I would agree that a big win is nothing more than a lucky situation that comes at the right time, but even though luck is a law of nature that comes purely and can happen even if you don't do anything that can support your goals still in the end there are always people who are quite jealous, and as we discussed earlier that one of the best ways to maintain or create better social relations with those who know about our victory then there is nothing wrong with sharing some of our winnings, it doesn't need to be too big, at least so that they can sympathize.
113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: May 02, 2024, 05:09:15 PM
There are so many things that causes loss in gambling,and one of those things is greed.Peoole who are greedy and love to satisfy their curiosity while gambling are liable to lose most atimes because when you are anxiously wishing to win more,it will make you gamble more,and this is where your loses will come.
Addicted gamblers knows that if you have won once,it is good to give a break,but when you continue gambling without thinking that money will be wasted in the process of gambling more,it will definitely cause loses.
Yes, greed makes you fall deeper into your finances, when they have won they will definitely continue to play as if luck is on their side, this is a big mistake. Do they want to catch up on their previous losses, so they continue playing. Yes, you should not expect too much to get big money there. Basically, not a single gambler got rich from there.


Yes, what always triggers the problem is "they always feel that it is the right time to continue the game in a more aggressive way based on confidence and higher expectations", and I would say that they are typical people who simply do not understand that gambling is always about two things, namely winning or losing, there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever to be able to succeed in winning unless you have completed the session, which means defeat is still a very possible thing.

This is the reason why we must first understand what gambling is really about, because by having the right understanding I think it is less likely for you to easily make the decision to pursue a larger number of wins because you understand that the possibility of defeat will always lurk, and as we know that usually people who always apply greed in their gambling involvement will more often end up with regret because it turns out that luck has been lost which makes them fail in terms of pursuing a larger number of wins, and after all gambling is not a place to earn but nothing more than a game of probability.
114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: May 02, 2024, 04:50:36 PM
I think gambling should know the time, at least know when to gamble and when to stop gambling because it is important to be able to control yourself from gambling addiction and also not get used to it which will later create bad habits that can lead to gambling addiction, as a suggestion it is not required gambling every day because it will not make someone earn a lot of money, let alone get pleasure, there is still a lot of time that can be filled with good things, for example pursuing a hobby to get pleasure or spending time with family or working to earn money, gambling should be played in your free time and Relax. unless you are unemployed.

It is true, when bad habits are created things start to go very badly, I think that when there are bad habits everything is bad because there is no control over what we seek to improve in the game, the habit is something that must be seen. frequently and if it is every day you have to have a lot of money and resources that you can lose and that is what I don't like, for that it is better to play rarely but play with quality and win something when you have to win and when you have to lose Well Accept it and don't give in any more, because the most likely thing is that the money will be lost and therefore the person will have and run more risks. I don't recommend spending a lot of money.

Overall yes I understand that making gambling a habit is too risky a decision but on the other hand I don't think we can conclude as a whole that all gamblers have a bad approach to gambling because it is a fact that there are still some gamblers who are able to treat their gambling activities in accordance with what we always recommend in common sense such as applying a lot of restrictions on their gambling involvement such as limiting the time and amount of budget along with limiting expectations on winning and they are gamblers who understand that winning in gambling is nothing more than a chance and not a certainty.

As you said that bad habits are when they are not able to control their gambling activities and obviously with this then we can conclude that gambling will be able to have a bad impact when you cannot or are not able to control everything properly according to what is always recommended in common sense, but yes I understand and know that most gamblers are trapped in situations like this and that is because from the beginning they only think about winning without paying attention to other things that exist in gambling such as risk.
115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: May 02, 2024, 04:17:54 PM
Aside having income and your a responsible gambler or not it's best to use your winnings properly on something that's useful ,with this now I remembered the first win I got,I was still in the tertiary instituon what I did was to get lots of foodstuffs and textbooks to aid my learning effectively.i know sometimes you might be thinking of wanting to chill out and have a great time but here your decisions after a big win matters a lot and goes a long way in setting your pace in the future.
So most cases of such big wins the money should be spent wisely and responsibly I attest to that.
The most important thing is don't forget to leave some capital for the next game  Cheesy
We are actually free to use the money from the big wins we get. Of course, it depends on each person's different needs. Some even use it to party with friends. that's not a bad thing, as long as it doesn't harm other people then do what you want. you hold the money from your winnings, you have complete control over your money.

That's right and I would say that leaving some of the money from the winnings for the purpose of gambling at a later time is a smart approach to gambling, obviously it will be very beneficial that when one day you want to gamble again then you already have some money that you have set aside from some of the winnings that you have previously obtained, and I also sometimes like to do that when I do manage to get some winnings.

Basically yes we are all free in terms of using the money from the winnings, as you said that there are some gamblers who use it to party and enjoy it with some of their friends and some enjoy it alone, although basically everyone is free in terms of deciding to use the money but in the end it is still best to make a wise decision by enjoying some of it and setting aside some of it for gambling capital next time, and I understand that it is up to the gambler but I would say that it is not a real victory if you can't enjoy the results of your luck at all.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: May 02, 2024, 06:50:59 AM
Honestly, I think that overall all children will definitely not feel comfortable when their parents, especially their mothers, are involved in gambling, even if for example they only make gambling as an activity to fill their spare time and seek pleasure but still, no matter what your approach is, the potential for bad possibilities will always be a possibility, on the other hand, I do not wish your parents to become addicted gamblers but I only see from the concept of gambling that whoever you are and no matter how good your approach to gambling is, the change towards impulsive gambling will always be a possibility.

This is because as we all know gambling has many temptations that are sometimes very difficult to ignore especially when you lose consciousness, even though they can be considered as someone who is mature enough to be able to think carefully but still the bad possibilities will continue to lurk, and one thing that worries me in this situation which I think we would all agree is that we certainly don't want to see our parents spend their old age with many problems and pressures caused by gambling.

For me gambling can be exciting when I really want to gamble based on any reason such as to get rid of boredom when I am in my spare time, I try to always use something according to what I need which means I come only to find entertainment to fill spare time full of boredom and not to earn.

And I think you or anyone will really be able to feel or enjoy the benefits of fun or entertainment from gambling when you come with only the intention and purpose of getting this and not to earn.

Because obviously in the end gambling is very likely to become unexciting when you treat gambling in the wrong way based on the wrong intentions and goals and in the end it is not pleasure or entertainment but tension and some stress due to loss that you will feel, and basically it is important to change your perspective on gambling, you must consider that the money you lose is the cost of paying for the game you have played, this will be able to help you avoid the possibility of dominating emotions.

Today's children will be the builders of tomorrow's future, so we as guardians should never spoil the children's future. The education that a child receives from us today will spread that child to everyone in the future. Especially if children learn about gambling from us now, surely these children will spread education about gambling to their children in the future. If we participate in gambling in front of children then children will be attracted to gambling out of curiosity and in this case children will automatically get addicted to gambling due to imitation. Therefore, to ensure the future of children, we as guardians must never do forbidden things in front of them and always pay close attention to them so that their future is not ruined.

You should not let that to happen, I guess it's always better to think about the after effects of our examples in the sight of our kids, those influences that we can bring will be establish from their young minds, and like what you said it will developed thru time and they will adopt that when they become adults, the problem to that is there's always bas implication as things can't be handle especially if curiosity take place, kids always want to journey and test whatever they are seeing from us, they will think that it's just fine and they will push for it and try everything, it's dangerous as young as the age they've got the longer they might be involve into gambling in the future.

True, what should be the main concern or the main focus is in terms of impact and risk, maybe now it will not be seen but over time they will develop bad behavior until adulthood which is clearly going to destroy their future or even transmit the disease to the people around them. It is a fact that someone who is still underage or meaning those who are still children have a fairly high memory and curiosity and also usually they are quite easy in terms of learning something that even like there are some parents who are quite surprised when they see or know that their children can already do something that is not actually taught by their parents.

If for example something they learn leads to good things and good then yes maybe it doesn't matter but the problem is when they learn something that should be avoided such as gambling or other negative activities that have the potential for possible adverse effects. As you said, there is a possibility that a child will assume that gambling is not prohibited or harmless because they see adults doing it like seeing other normal activities, so obviously we as adults as much as possible must really prevent them from anything negative, one of which is gambling.

Imo is not a smart move to always have the urge of wanting to get what one have loss back or chasing after losses. Because when one has began to have such mindset or thought of getting that they have loss I their gambling sections, they may endup magneting more losses to themselves. So chasing after losses isn't encouraging at all, when one encountered any forms of losses in Their gambling, is better to call it a day. So that they can have enough time to get their head back in the game.

Taken gambling as a form of getting rich quick or as a source of earning is never a good start because gambling is a form of entertainment. Though one can earn some extra cash by hitting the jackpot but still doesn't mean that one should take it as a source income.
If we have experienced a lot of losses in gambling, we should just stop, don't expect too much to catch up on our previous losses. This will make you fall deeper into the abyss of your losses. Emotional control and financial management are needed when we start gambling. We should play only for entertainment, not to earn a living. Basically the gambling owner has arranged everything for you when playing, even if you have good skills. Not a single bookie made him go bankrupt, which makes the dealer rich from your losses while playing.

True, because it is a fact that a gambler is always advised or required to know when to row and when to pull over, no other than because it is only by this that we will at least avoid the various bad possibilities that exist in gambling, I'm not saying that you will never lose but certainly by applying limits to the time of involvement and gambling budget then obviously it can minimize the possibility of losing large amounts of money.

Another thing as you said is that applying self-control along with financial management is something that gamblers must have which has the same benefits as what I said above that the main purpose is to minimize emotions when losing so that we avoid various impulsive decisions that usually lead gamblers to more potential disasters. On the other hand, we also have to understand that gambling is actually a business for casinos, casinos take advantage of gamblers who always act excessively which will ultimately give casinos a lot of profit, so this is one of the reasons why we are prohibited from making gambling a place to earn, it is too dangerous and what happens is that you will only suffer a lot of losses.

It doesn't work like that, self exclusion is when you contact the casino to make your account off from gambling. It's not about when you lose money and you find a way to make money again to gamble, but when you get yourself self excluded in a casino, you can easily betray yourself because you'll just have to find a new gambling site that will cater you.

Money is not a problem for gamblers, unless broke. This self-exclusion actually is just like fooling ourselves because its real purpose is not realized, that's from my personal point of view.
Most likely you would really be having that kind of consideration on which on the time that you would really be on the state on which you are that losing money then you would really be having that kind of chase up with those loses and would really be trying out to play even more and this is something that would really be not be able to stop you on playing. Lets say that there would really be that exclusion feature but
this one wont really be enough for you to be able to stop out completely. If there's none then you could really be able to request it out but just been said that as long you arent that making yourself accept those loses then its impossible for you to stop.

In the end it still comes back to the gambler's desire, or the point is that if for example they are unable to refrain from doing things or actions that are not recommended then obviously in the end they will continue gambling and will not care about anything related to self-exclusion. In fact, self-exclusion can be done by yourself without the help of anyone and from any party if you are able to control your gambling activities properly with a note of being able to keep yourself in balance by always prioritizing preventive measures but this mindset will only exist in gamblers who really have a correct understanding of the dangers of gambling activities if done in the wrong way. This means that if they gamble with the intention and purpose of earning then obviously what they want is to continue gambling and chasing big wins, although in common sense chasing something in gambling is always not recommended but for them it doesn't matter to do.
