Ideally, stop if you feel you're not confident in playing gambling because if you are not mentally prepared possibly make unnecessary decisions during the game, if you keep playing and the outcome is not good it is ideal to stop or take a break again every too much playing can be exhausting, luck and wins is not always with us there's a time you will experience those red days of losses. Get back when you are confident, call it for a day and reset if you want to play again.

True, taking a break from gambling is always recommended because it is an activity that involves one's mental and psychological state, but the problem is that lust and emotions override everything or that means controlling themselves even though they are exhausted. I think most gamblers will not admit that they are not prepared in any way such as mentally, their main focus is only on winning so it goes beyond their common sense and awareness and in the end as I said above that emotions will act for a decision that they will do without any consideration at the beginning.

The fact is that it is not easy or even very difficult to stay at the level of consciousness when you are gambling, as I said earlier that the main factor that causes it is too focused on winning, I told you about the scenario of most gamblers who have difficulty stopping even though losing dominates. So I think they will be able to take all the precautions if they come with the right understanding of gambling or change their point of view to something more correct and based on the facts that happen more often in gambling.

Everyone is of concern in this, because anybody could be a victim; rich or poor. Battling with a problem is not cool for the human brain and behavior. It's necessary for gamblers to understand that their status doesn't change the problem. A rich person can get addicted and divorce his productivity at work. Wouldn't it affect his wealth on the long run? it's not certain if all the rich people would be able to struggle out of addiction successfully. Money can do everything, but we all need time to heal. Without time nobody gets better or worse on what they do. Since gamblers need time to adjust and understand gambling, a naive rich player can get himself into trouble during the early stages. Given time he'd begin to get better or worse.

Of course it will also be difficult to understand gambling. If it were easy, I'm sure there would be lots of people who would become rich by gambling. Of course the gambling provider has updates and always changes the probabilities all the time to make gambling more interesting and fair. And not everyone will understand each of these changes, they need to adapt again and observe again so that the chances of winning are higher than losing. Again and again, rich and poor will remain the same, except for the expert gambler.

I think on the other hand the real fact is that gambling is not a place for anyone to get rich, but most of the gamblers carry this goal, they want instant wealth in gambling and this is wrong, there is absolutely no correct understanding of what gambling really is. In my opinion, understanding gambling will in no way affect your success in being able to get a lot of winnings, but this understanding is only intended to keep you safe and not experience many adverse effects from your wrong gambling activities.

As you understand that gambling is a game of probability exactly as you said and by understanding that it means that there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee of any victory, the fact is that no matter how good you are, if you are involved as a player then obviously there will only be two answers in the final result between winning or losing, so try not to put any hope in gambling especially assuming to achieve wealth, it is nothing more than a ridiculous idea I think. On the other hand you must understand that in gambling the winning percentage will always be much lower than losing and this is also the reason why more gamblers lose than win, because after all this is a business for casinos to make profits from losing gamblers, and I would say that you can get a higher chance of winning until you can reach wealth then you have to become a bookie yourself and own a casino, this makes more sense.
1143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 15, 2024, 02:26:15 PM
Bayern Leverkusen still maintains the best consistent team in times of performance on this Bundesliga, actually this season has been so favourable for them unlike there other seasons they use to have some difficulties in performance, however they were able to maintain there unbeaten record on this league, so honestly I'm actually impress to see that Bayern Leverkusen has played so many matches with a lot of wining but have not loss any match what a good record. Perhaps in times of wining the league they are the right candidate for that because in as much as Bayern Munich has an impressive performance doesn't mean that they have an upper chance of wining the league more than Bayern Leverkusen, so if Leverkusen continues this way they will become the champion.
Bayern Munich is gradually running to meeting up with the rave to the top of the table and it's something Leverkusen have to be weary of staying at the top of the table considering how much Munich has fought this season to maintain their spot and dominance on the table and around the whole bundesliga.

Bayern Munich since the beginning of this second half  of the season, have been showing some good performance and form so they may have at the back of their mind to getting back their dominance by winning all of their forth coming games and Bayern Leverkusen as well have to make sure they are piling up points enough to keep them at the top of the table and making sure they are able to maintain their form and win the trophy by the end of the season so as to bring to dawn a new era of another team winning the bundeliga title and aswell dominating the bundeligs this season.
Bayern Munich is still under Leverkusen and waiting for Leverkusen to slip from its position, Bayern Munich is trying to keep winning and doesn't want to widen the gap with Leverkusen because Bayern Munich still wants to dominate the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich doesn't want another club to break its dominance, therefore Bayern Munich continues to appear consistent up to now but unfortunately Leverkusen is much more consistent and has not suffered a defeat so Bayern Munich is having difficulty occupying the top of the standings.

Since the start of the season, Bayern Munich has always shown good performance until now, but because Leverkusen is still consistent and has not experienced defeat, therefore, Bayern Munich has not been able to occupy first place and Bayern Munich is only trying to put pressure on Leverkusen in second place, so Leverkusen is still firmly at the top with their outstanding performance this season.

Yes and now they have a difference of 4 points, on the other hand I think Leverkusen really have a strong determination to break the dominance of Bayern Munich, we can see they have extraordinary consistency in maintaining their position at the top of the standings by not wasting any opportunity, for the stronghold of Bayern Munich itself it is clear and it is certain that they do not want to lose the dominance of the title they have maintained for a long time and obviously with this very tight competition it makes the season look more interesting, I see this situation as when last season where Bayern Munich competed closely with Dortmund which in the end still Bayern Munich had luck above average which made Dortmund waste the decisive match at the end of the season, honestly I am quite worried that in the end Leverkusen could have the same fate as Dortmund last season.

Yes as we know that Bayern Munich always start the season well like the team we always favor, they are still very good but maybe we see there is an unusual appearance from the middle team that really never expected before, namely Leverkusen, on the other hand what is very unfortunate in my opinion is when Bayern Munich suffered a crushing defeat against Frankfurt in the previous few matches, if only they could get the full three points then the point difference with Leverkusen now would not be too far away.

Anyway, it is true that joining sports betting won't spend a lot of time. But we need enough time to analyze the possibility for the matches. No one just places their bets without analysis. If it happens, the chance to win will be very small and we only rely on the luck. So, to increase the chance to win, we usually make certain analysis deeply.
Is there anyone who gambles without doing their proper analysis?
Of course we all need time to properly predict and review our games to place us in a higher chance of winning, we can't just rely on the fact that we knows the teams proper hence we could just place our bet and expect to have winning. It doesn't work like that we must thoroughly go through our games before finally place bet.

There are probably some people out there who are involved in sports betting without doing any analysis, ignorance is one of the main factors in this and I would say this is mostly done by people who are too focused on winning, they do not realize that they do not have a proper understanding of the world of sports along with not knowing about how good the team they choose to bet on is. On the other hand most of the people who choose this type of bet I think are those who like the world of sports in the sense of having at least experience and understanding because skills are needed to increase the winning percentage to be closer, but even so we still can't be sure of the results 100% because obviously it doesn't mean sports betting can make you always win, it's like combining analytical skills with luck, so if at the same time luck doesn't come to complement then obviously it is very possible for the final result to not match what we want. So with this means that risk management is still very much needed because there is still a possibility for risk to occur.
1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What ugly incident or occurrence have you ever experienced in gambling? on: January 15, 2024, 12:54:18 PM

Let's discuss your gambling PC preference. Your point is valid. PC gambling is more stable and less obtrusive. Gambling at a PC requires discipline. It's not as quick as pulling out your phone. Better processing power reduces lag, creating a more controlled environment. However, the platform doesn't prevent addiction. It's about responsible gaming on any device. Responsible gambling requires limits and knowing when to quit

After getting into this discussion, I honestly see that people do make PCs the best alternative to switching from cell phones as a precaution so that cases like the OP's do not happen to us, yes maybe it's true and I you make PCs as an alternative, you have mentioned some of the advantages such as faster processing and more controllable because these devices are much more powerful and superior than cell phones, but maybe the problem is that you won't be able to fully utilize the advantages of this type of online casino which basically makes it easier for gamblers to play anytime and anywhere, you might only be able to play at home, and what about some people who don't have a PC at home? Obviously they won't be able to follow this idea and will probably stick to gambling on their phones despite the concerns that things like the problems the OP mentioned could happen.

 The other thing is that of course you are right that whatever device they use has absolutely nothing to do with the possible adverse effects of gambling such as addiction, it is more directed and dependent on how they treat and respond to their gambling activities, if they can take good care of their gambling activities in the sense of having good responsibility and being able to control everything then obviously the potential possibility of addiction will not be too great.
1146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: January 15, 2024, 12:34:27 PM

There is nothing wrong with planning to get money from gambling but don't expect too much to always win because in fact gambling is completely dependent on luck, making gambling as a source of income is indeed riskier because it is like doing work, even though there are other jobs that provide a definite salary while the profits gambling is uncertain. In each casino game there are different opportunities to make a profit, but actually the way it works is the same, namely relying on luck, if you are not lucky then you will be faced with a loss.

And it is true that gambling is always profitable, of course there are many gamblers who are rich because they can make a profit just by relying on luck. But the public seems to already understand how gambling works so there are some gamblers who are not really involved with income from gambling so they just take advantage of it time by gambling without thinking about profits.

One shouldn't really depend on gambling as his main income. Gambling is risky. It has a lot of consequences when you lose control, winning isn't guaranteed, and therefore income isn't as secured as having a stable job to pay for your bills and to buy food. If you will engage in gambling, make sure to only do it moderately and responsibly. You don't want to lose all your money in a snap because you deposited it in a casino website thinking you could double or even triple it overnight. There's no such thing as instant money. If you will have to resort in gambling as your side hustle to make additional income, be sure to be knowledgeable first. You need to have what it takes to be successful in gambling such as determination, information, skills, strategies, and luck. Otherwise, your money will be gone in a blink of an eye.

Exactly, basically gambling is not a place to earn but only a risky game of chance activity and as a feedback is that you have the possibility to get a prize (winnings) if you are lucky, this is the understanding that really should be applied to most gamblers especially newcomers, because usually a beginner is still very vulnerable to knowledge and they don't really understand what gambling is and what the level of risk is, I see that on average they come with the excuse of seeing the opportunity to win so if this understanding is not correct then obviously it doesn't take long for them to end up addicted and suffer from its bad effects.

Another thing is that I also often see scenarios like this happen to those who have weak finances or mean financial crisis and their goal is to come to get a win in order to improve their finances, it is very ridiculous and from this I can already conclude that there are quite a lot of factors that influence a person to get involved in gambling and one of them is due to weak finances in a person's life but they instead create new problems by making gambling an alternative to making money which is precisely the starting point of a big disaster. On the other hand as you said if one wants to be successful or okay in gambling then they must have some preparation such as skills, experience, information, determination and strategy, honestly I will not bring the word "luck" here because obviously this is not something that can be learned.
1147  Economy / Economics / Re: Growth mindset versus fixed mindset on: January 15, 2024, 09:30:51 AM
Growth mindset= Mature people
Fixed mindset= Immature people

Most of the time, people will never grow because of their ego and pride. They always wanted to be the star of the show, they don't want to be the wrong, they are always right. In short, they are the most annoying people you'll ever find. These kind of people will only mature to a growth mindset when something terrible happened to their lives, they will start listening to other's advices and opinions.
A person with a fixed mindset will barely be able to adapt to changes and try to change themselves, their lives, or the way they do things because they don't feel comfortable trying new things and having new experiences. They tend to lead a simple life with easy things that don't require them to challenge themselves or their abilities because they are too afraid of losses and they think that they will get humiliated if they challenge themselves and don't come out at the other end as a winner.

Such kind of people will always have a hard time achieving a lot of success in life, and they have no issues with this. They think they have everything they need and they don't want to change or upgrade their life and lifestyle. It sounds odd but such people exist and we can see them living with us, in our society or neighborhood.

I agree with that, also those who have a fixed mindset I think they are afraid to step up so most of them are already in their comfort zone they are reluctant to step forward, even though I am sure they also want development for themselves, especially financially after all there is nothing wrong with trying new things, even though there are risks but at least it is a natural thing and like you said maybe they are difficult to adapt to a new environment.

yes there are people like this in my neighborhood, they always talk about what developments they should make to change their lives, but with the many suggestions they receive from friends or other people, they don't take any action and just do the things they usually do.  i think it will be difficult for them to change for the better because they are already stuck in a zone that makes them comfortable. and i think you are right, people like this may find it difficult to achieve success even for themselves.
1148  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you prefer to own a luxury watch or invest in bitcoin or other assets? on: January 15, 2024, 09:06:21 AM
Its just a wrist watch...anyways,how does owning a luxury watch mean to me?like why must I own a luxury watch.....

Its not a bad idea to live well or being able to afford a luxury lifestyle but in most case I've never considered owning a a luxury watch against my  financial situation,,most people prefer to own so many luxury watches than investing.But I'll love to own a collection of such luxury watches and run a business as a side hustle.Isn't that also an investment;owning a collection of high quality and high branded luxury it simply going to be interesting.

I myself think it's just a watch whose function is only to see the time, nothing more.
but this depends on yourself, because there are some who have luxury watches, not just one, but maybe many and indeed perhaps this could be called an investment, but I think if they have many luxury watches it is more directed towards a hobby that where they like to collect luxury watches with high price values.

different from me, when I have a lot of money I don't think I will buy a luxury watch, because someone's quality standards are different, if I prefer to prioritize the function first, I don't argue with those who buy watches at high prices, because that's why their rights, as long as they have enough money to buy it then it doesn't matter, but I myself prefer to invest what I have rather than buying it for a luxury watch that has a high price. And indeed there are people who like to collect old school or luxury items, for no apparent reason they have a high price, so you could call it an investment too.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drug (cocaine) addicts compromises gambling potentials on: January 15, 2024, 02:55:32 AM

Gambling is not the problem here; the guy was the problem, and he ended up getting himself into two addictions at the same time. They should focus more on trying to save that soul from destroying himself.
 
Let's look at it this way, assuming there was nothing like gambling, and this guy is already in a state where if he doesn't take those drugs, he feels like he is losing it and can't get control of himself.

What do you think will stop him from doing anything possible just to be able to afford those drugs? And the things possible included selling those laundry properties, as it appears that's the only valuable thing he has in his possession. It's just a matter of time, and he will definitely sell the shop off to sponsor his drug habit.

Yeah agreed.  Gambling isn't the issue most cases its the people who can't make a good decision to save tueor life.  I know people who are just addicted to anything they do whether drugs, gambling, working out etc. Gambling with an agenda to support another habit will never work out too many irrational decisions.

Drugs or other similar intoxicating drugs have a substance that removes memory, consciousness and also by slightly cutting the nerves of brain performance which ultimately makes it really difficult for them to find the best way or decision about the problem they are experiencing, such as the case we are discussing. If he basically likes the act of taking drugs like that or even has been very dependent on drugs with a note that there is a bad feeling or his fitness decreases if he doesn't consume it then I think it's quite reasonable if he takes any action even if it doesn't make sense like trying to make a profit from gambling to finance the purchase of drugs because it's quite difficult to be in a good enough level of consciousness to be able to reach a better decision if he basically has a bad habit that in addition to the impact of these drugs can damage the nerves of the brain.

I think this is a really worrying situation, what concerns me is as you said that he is using gambling as an  alternative to earning money in order to fund other habits. It's like being stuck in a hole and he's digging that hole again which will certainly cause new problems that will make it even more difficult to climb up to save himself.
1150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What strategies do you adopt that can help to make millions in sport betting on: January 15, 2024, 02:30:11 AM
You can try sticking to one game/sport for the rest of your betting career and be good at it. Over time, you will develop a strong sense of familiarity with your chosen sport, and know by heart which team really performs well and which teams don't. Keep a steady pacing and up your bet size the more you get comfortable and you will see your profits piling up eventually.

It's a long process but if you are disciplined enough to bet only on the things you know about, you will get there. Then again, perhaps the easiest way to really make millions in life is owning a legit business and not relying on luck 100% of the time.

Well the advice you conveyed is quite good, staying focused and consistent at one point and studying it seriously in order to understand until we master it enough is one of the effective ways to create progress in terms of knowledge and not in gambling alone, this is a sports bet where your skills and understanding are needed to analyze in order to achieve quite lucrative profits, I will not or cannot ensure that you will be able to make millions of dollars in profits in this field because after all this is gambling which means that no matter how good you are there will still be potential risks that occur at any time, so still have a plan along with good financial management as a preventive measure.

Of course, it will not be as easy as turning your palm, to achieve it will require a struggle that may not be everyone can do it, this depends on yourself, don't focus too much on winning too because there is something more important, namely risk management, after all gambling is an activity that has no certainty and guarantee with a 100% yield rate, as you said that they will be able to get the certainty of the benefits they always want if only they participate or struggle in other fields outside of the world of gambling.
1151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 15, 2024, 02:10:12 AM

I agree.

It's her money to take care of and if she's enjoying, I'll her do her own thing but I'll just give her some reminders that she shouldn't do it to the point that everything she is going to be put on stake.

She just take it as simple as enjoyment but she needs to be fully aware that it can wipe her things and money out so, that's it. She can entertain herself with that but still needs to be careful.
There isn't much grandchildren can do anyway regards the gambling activity of their grandmothers. An elder is an adult responsible for his own acts, have lived much longer than grandchildren, therefore there is a natural belief of being wiser and more experienced, besides having their own source of income. Why would they listen to orders coming from children? If you put yourself on their shoes you will understand it. We don't like to be ordered by younger people than us and people who we consider to be less experienced, and it seems as we get older, this feeling just gets stronger.

I believe the only thing grandchildren can do, which may work, is to appeal emotionally to their grandmothers that they stop. This kind of approach can sensibilize the elders, although it's not likely to have long term impacts...

There is also a point, in general, basically advising older people is not polite even though it leads to something better and is indeed recommended as a whole, you said that adults or those who are old enough have a good mindset and responsibility about whatever they do, I agree with that and indeed they should really have a good maturity in terms of mindset and responsibility, but aren't they also not always perfect in terms of behavior and mindset? You said it only as a whole and did not see it from various sides, we are human beings who are never free from mistakes, therefore there is nothing wrong if we support a grandson who tries to advise his grandmother if it is for the sake of goodness, it does not matter to put aside politeness first because precautions for safety must be taken early before it is too late.

Although on the other hand someone who is already an adult will usually not care much about the things said by someone who is far below them because of several factors such as what you said about them lacking in experience but I think at least this will have the potential to be quite influential, at least the elderly will feel embarrassed because of being advised and after that there is a possibility for them to take the time to think about whether what they are doing is wrong or not. So the point is that whoever is advising them I don't think it should be a problem even if it's a little unlikely, at least maybe it will help the elderly to achieve awareness.
1152  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 15, 2024, 01:50:14 AM
Excessive gambling is detrimental to the life of a gambler no doubt, stories, facts and truths have proven this that they suffer a lot of pressure, tension, loses and frustration. I am also concerned about the impact of gambling on the lives of those dependent on the gambler like his immediate family(wife, children, parents and siblings). I have heard stories of children whose early lives were messed up due to the bad habits of gambling addiction of their fathers. A very recent one is one account in this forum which created a topic staring his hatred for gambling and backing his claim with same ugly story of being a product of a home where the father is a gambling addict. He stressed that it ruined his father and affected him disastrously. I know how painful and frustrating it is when your foundation its poor, and the negative effect is massive.

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?

At the first stage its always the gambler that will be affected by a gambling addiction the most. Because it's his money first that will be lost eventually during his addiction. Maybe he doesn't realize his situation at first and it's much easier to observe the changes by the family. Nonetheless the gambler has to suffer from his addiction everyday, whereas the direct family might not notice the problem everyday. Also the family doesn't need to support  the gambler with money, they can be open about it and have clear rules to protect themselves. Helping someone who is struggling from addictions is important, but the first step is always for the addict to realise his problem and wanting to change. Helping someone who doesn't want to fight his addiction is not going to lead to anything.

Yes, it is clear that for the problem of impact, it is true that it is definitely the gambler himself who will experience and feel the bad effects of his excessive gambling, losing balance in terms of finances is the first problem they will experience and over time it will get worse and even chronic if there are absolutely no close people such as friends or relatives who help to minimize the bad effects due to ignorance about the addiction problems they face.

I think however other family members will definitely care about those who experience addiction if indeed other family members know about the problem of gambling addiction that he suffers, there must be an action at least even if only a few suggestions to help and try to realize, and on the other hand it is clear as you say that if the gambler simply does not want to change his bad habits in the sense of trying to take some action to get out of the addiction zone then obviously this problem will be very difficult to overcome even if family members seek help from some professionals in the psychological field, addiction involves a mindset which means that there must be openness from the gambler to identify the extent of the level of addiction suffered in order to find a suitable prescription and that means gambling will be quite easy to overcome if there is a desire for a change for the better from the gambler himself.
1153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 15, 2024, 01:30:34 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.

Of course all precautions must be taken at the beginning in any case, as the saying goes "it is better to prevent than to cure" because indeed this is the best that must be done before regret comes because you are late, as you say that it will be very difficult to overcome addiction if you have already entered that phase, because the process of healing and change must always start from your own will while on the other hand your mindset has been lost in gambling so it is very difficult to achieve awareness for a change.

We have to understand that gambling involves feelings as well as thoughts and that means it is very possible that you can get carried away and fall into what eventually becomes an unconscious addiction due to not having any limits and controls on your gambling activities. I think all the precautions will not be too difficult to take if you come with the right understanding of gambling and also by maintaining awareness in yourself so that this will be able to make you stay careful when gambling, gambling is not at all a place to earn but nothing more than a playground that should not be taken seriously.
1154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Land-based Casino Enjoyers are something else. on: January 14, 2024, 08:48:07 PM
I was scrolling on my social media feeds one day until a very close friend of mine showed me a meme vid. We usually send memes to each other as our little way of communicating which I think some of you guys will get, but this one not only cracked me up, it also kind of opened my eyes at how fucked up Brick-and-Mortar Casino Enjoyers could be if they tried.

GIRL SITS AT CASINO SLOT MACHINE CHAIR TO PEE

Watching this "meme vid" or whatever made me curious enough to dig into this little rabbit hole where I see casino gamblers, particularly those who play slot, go bonkers and I mean like literal mental while playing slots. I mean most of them are depicted to even claw at the screen as if it's going to do anything.

I gotta say man, I know gambling for some people is bad but when they say it's bad I didn't think it'd be this worse lol. Oh well, all the more reasons to avoid the land-casinos I guess.

Well, going by the video I can only say one thing: People are gross. It does not really matter if they are gross inside a casino or inside some other building. I think the problem with some casinos are that they encourage drinking alcohol and do not really watch for people who get too drunk. Many land based casinos have introduced drink maximums because of this.
 
From her sitting position and her appearance I really can't be sure that the woman in the video is mentally disturbed, she looks very neat and quite charming but if we look at her behavior like a crazy person and it is really disgusting. I can't be sure what happened to her but maybe we can conclude that as you said she was drunk from consuming alcoholic beverages there or elsewhere before she came to gamble so she did such a disgusting act in front of many other visitors because she was too drunk maybe.

For the problem of alcoholic drinks that are recommended by casinos to every visitor I think this really has to be changed, maybe casinos think that with so many drunk gamblers they will not hesitate to spend all their money because they are at a low level of consciousness due to the influence of alcohol but if we look from the other side of course events like this will really make other visitors uncomfortable, just imagine how the smell of urine smells if one of us finds such an incident and is right near the slot machine we are playing. Cheesy

Not bad if she's going to gamble with very tiny amount but it is giving me a different feeling that she's spending a lot.
That's the time that I'll play the role of her parents telling her that she shouldn't do it anymore. Yes, she's grown up and should try to enjoy her life but I like her to do other things to enjoy with not with gambling if it's too much.

Yup, there's nothing wrong for her to gamble as long as her mother didn't go far to the point that she's going to be addicted. we won't tolerate their actions but as a child, It is also our responsibility to check our parents on what they have been doing, so we can give them a tap or advice especially when we see that they are overdoing it.
Yes, we might be the child but we can also function as their guide when they're doing something wrong and that's why it is important to check them at all times.
While when we're young, we are their responsibility. Now, we are going to take care of them and they are going to be our responsibility.

Yes although advising parents is basically impolite if we are a child, but I think it doesn't matter if we direct them to a better path or path, because after all we definitely don't want to see our beloved parents sink into the bad effects of their gambling involvement and maybe you can advise or tell them in a very good way and also by giving some very reasonable explanations about the concept of gambling along with the bad things that have the potential to happen and experience in their further involvement if they cannot stop from now on.

Of course in any case prevention must be prioritized to minimize things that are not wanted and also for the sake of a financial balance, I am sure if you succeed in persuading your parents to stop then if it succeeds then your family will have a pretty good and balanced finances because obviously the allocation of money for things that do not need to be done they have avoided, or that means they can stop from gambling activities.

Casinos that offer extra perks and bonuses for new users when they sign up under a referral or affiliate link are actually adding an extra layer of promotion for their products and services because they know that new users would sign up more easily if they see that they are getting something like a bonus or maybe a few free spins. This strategy is a very useful marketing tactic that casino platforms use, maybe not all of them use it but some casinos offer such things.

And talking about casinos that don't allow their customers to withdraw their winnings if the amount is large, I believe that has nothing to do with affiliates or referrers because a legit and reputable casinos wouldn't do that in the first place and if a casino has evil intentions, they wouldn't care doing that even apart from this scenario.

Yes that's right, this is nothing more than a new form of marketing strategy in addition to other larger marketing promotions that casinos usually do, simply put this is like connecting one player with another player by inviting one person whether it's a friend or anyone to register at a certain casino through the affiliation they share and as a benefit, those who invite will get a percentage from the casino in a certain bonus amount that they will get in their gambling account as a gift or bonus for the participation they have done by inviting others to register at one of the casinos they promote, And as you said that the bonuses can be useful to at least do a few rounds to try their luck with a note that does not have to spend personal funds.

Makes sense, I also think that way and it's true that withdrawal problems have absolutely nothing to do with affiliates or promotional referrals that are there, because obviously anyway people who try to take advantage of affiliates to bring others in don't help the casino in terms of promotion? obviously, and for gamblers who experience withdrawal problems I think only those who make mistakes in their gambling activities, it could be that they do something suspicious so that the casino limits and makes it difficult to withdraw or even freezes their account. On the other hand in terms of affiliation there is absolutely no coercion from the casino to the gamblers, if there was a coercion to share then obviously all gamblers would not be comfortable engaging in this type of online gambling while on the other hand now most gamblers prefer this type of online gambling and that means affiliation really has nothing to do with the problem of the casino making it difficult to withdraw, this is something else.

For someone who is addicted to gambling, first of all they themselves feel at a loss because they have lost all their savings just to gamble and after they feel frustrated by their addiction and find it difficult to stop, they will be determined to do anything to continue gambling, either robbing or stealing money and if society If you feel uneasy about the addict's behavior, his family will take part in overcoming the gambler's problem because he is a family member and if it is like this, everyone will be troubled and they will be forced to do something so that the addict's behavior will not disturb the local community. We certainly don't want to see our siblings or members of our family experiencing addiction problems, right? because addiction is detrimental to anyone, both the gambler himself and his family.

The inability to accept the risk of losing due to gambling that is not based on the right understanding, this is the mindset that exists in every gambler in general, which ultimately as you say they find it difficult to be able to limit their gambling because they have a grudge against gambling for the defeat that dominates so of course if they run out of money to gamble again then what is more likely is that they will borrow from one of the loan services or relatives or friends, And even worse is that as you said it is not uncommon for gamblers who are desperate to commit acts out of control such as robbing in order to finance their gambling activities and obviously this is very detrimental to themselves if they are unlucky and caught by the authorities, many are harmed in addition to the community who are victims of theft / robbery.

Of course this bad behavior will really embarrass their own family in the eyes of the community, especially the surrounding neighbors, on the other hand there are still quite a lot of gamblers who are still fine even though they are involved in gambling which is a negative activity because of the high level of risk, and the point is that anyone who gambles based on the right understanding along with good self-control then you will remain fine.
1158  Economy / Economics / Re: If you want to get rich, you have to become immune to the money.......! on: January 14, 2024, 05:37:56 PM
If you want to be rich, hard work and smart work are combined into one unit, plus being smart and planning good financial management.
hard work to make money after that is rotated in investing in stocks or crypto. over time the money will get thicker and many end up becoming rich people.

Very good combination, it's true and you mentioned one of the things that I think probably most people already know that hard work is the principle of a person if he wants to succeed in his life by achieving success and becoming a rich person but not all of them understand what smart work means. People are stagnant in the understanding of hard work which means they will spend a lot of time working and collecting money but they forget that they have their own capacity which makes them exhausted if they only rely on one principle which is hard work, that's good but on the other hand there must be other drivers and strategies like what you said which is smart work by trying something that is rarely done by others or even unknown.

Hard work is good and on the other hand you have to have a genius mindset in pursuing the dream of becoming a rich man, as you said if our goal is to become a rich man then obviously the best planning and management we should have in terms of finances and our perspective on money. The scenario is that if you have a salary of $500/month and your expenses for your needs for a whole month are $100 for example then you can allocate the remaining $400 to other things that can certainly make your money potentially grow such as maybe one of them investing in some assets that are trusted, and if a few months later your salary rises to $700/month for example then of course your expenses must remain the same as before which is $100 and you can put the rest of your needs for a month which amounts to $600 into the same investment assets as before. And this is a smart way that can give you a better chance and can accelerate the process of your struggle to become a rich person with passive income that will continue to increase the amount of money you have even if you are sleeping. But unfortunately I see people nowadays prefer to splurge when they get money or that means their expenses even increase when they manage to get a salary increase by always allocating money to something that is actually not needed and not important, and this is what makes it difficult for someone to achieve the dream of becoming a rich person or having good finances.
1159  Economy / Gambling / Re: Guide for newcomers Start a fun and profitable gambling entertainment journey o on: January 14, 2024, 05:00:04 PM
Let's just hit the point right here, most newbies are not after having fun alone in gambling, they want to make money and also enjoy gambling altogether, we should be used to this kind of generation of gamblers we are having, whereby they wouldn't take a chances for granted without making effective utilization of them all, they would rather prefer gambling and making profits as well from it altogether.
There are so many fun that can be gotten from Justin gambling especially when we are with people we know cracking jokes and making fun of friends that are not able to win consistently. Gambling should be fun and there are sometimes when we don't have to take things too seriously because that in one way or the other can affect our mentality and seek violence when it supposed not to be.
This one of the things newbies have to know so that they don't keep losing when betting.
The best enjoyable part of gambling is when you getting the fun and this fun may come along with friends who are also part of your best paddy on the wheel, so yeaisone jokes are ok let laugh while we either lose or win while gambling, but that also should be done with loads of limits so that one or two will in cross they boundary while trying to crack some joke's.
Why we see some negative Vives along the way is when you see newbies who are no longer gambling or coming into gambling for fun but for the profits of it, and that can affects alot of things around them which violence can be one of such things.

that makes sense, but sometimes pleasure also comes from winning and this will obviously bring pleasure to the gambler who gets it. Even though there is fun in gambling, they still have to do it carefully or with limits as you said, because if they gamble without being careful, there is a big possibility that they will experience something bad that could ruin their life. because I think many people have said that gambling must be done carefully.

Of course, if they gamble to gain profit, that's wrong, with a goal like that it will only make them addicted to gambling and that is the right way to ruin their life. I don't think it's recommended to gamble with a goal like that, because gambling can't be done. guarantees that someone will easily win, because the host's goal is also to make a profit from the large number of people gambling. My advice is to gamble wisely, know where to stop and know that gambling is not a place to make money quickly.
1160  Economy / Gambling / Re: Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired? on: January 14, 2024, 04:40:13 PM
correct like what I do , only playing 1 or 2 games per casino and going to another when i felt bored
or not gaining anything and this is my behavior in online casinos because I don't think we should continue losing in
this site when we can find our luck to the other so maybe lets not care about inspired or not because it is the
legitimacy and the trustworthy of the casino that is important when in gambling.
It is very natural that when a gambler feels bored and does not get satisfactory results, he will definitely think about trying another game or even moving to another site because in reality no gambler wants to stick with just one game or even just stay on one site, of course they will continue. trying to look for bigger opportunities to win and maybe occasionally I also do this even though I often bet on sports betting in the end I definitely get bored and try to play slot games to try something different to get rid of boredom.
Maybe this has become a common thing that other gamblers often do because I have to admit that everyone gets bored when gambling, but gambling addicts never seem to get bored.
Gamblers are indeed different on which it is true that there are really moments or times that we do really get bored on the thing that we are really that dealing currently on which there would really be that kind of urge or having that interest on playing into those new places or sites that we might be able to encounter on.Some might be like that and some do really just simply stick onto their favorite.
When it comes to design or looks then its true that majority of new sites now are really that almost looking likely the same on which you would really be having those impressions that its isnt
interesting on playing on a copy-cat site on which its true because even myself seeing some copy cats then its never been that something interesting to try on.

That's true, some people may be able to stick with the game they like, and they will only gamble by playing that game because that is their favorite, but for me myself it is more towards boredom, where I always play a lot of games because I feel like I am gambling. just one game is boring, especially if every round is not good then it doesn't give me the sensation that I feel, when I gamble and if the game is not good then I will move on to another game where maybe there is a sensation that can be obtained.

In my opinion, with online gambling everything is almost the same, there are also things that are different in appearance, and that raises questions for me who don't know whether the site is safe or not, because there are sites that duplicate other sites with the aim of cheating, this could happen No?.
With so many sites having the same appearance, I personally find it difficult to determine which sites are trusted and which sites are not recommended sites, but even so, the game I think will be the same.
