I also think like that, I think those who gamble will only experience changes in things that are negative, because many gamblers experience negative things, such as addiction and also their finances become unstable because of gambling, maybe only a few people experience changes positive because of gambling, but in my opinion almost no one experiences changes in a positive direction because of gambling.

For someone who gambles, of course they have to gamble responsibly, because many gamblers are irresponsible because their actions make them addicted to gambling. Those who have gambled have certainly experienced a lot of losses and that is because they are not responsible. If they could be responsible, maybe they would not have experienced a lot of losses, because many people gamble excessively, there are no limits to gambling, which makes them himself became addicted to gambling and experienced many losses. and it's true what you said if they involve themselves too much with gambling, it can make it more difficult for them to stop gambling.

Exactly as I said earlier that it is really not recommended to put the goal on winning if you are involved in gambling, as you said and I agree that the fact is that gambling is not a generating activity like a real job out there, it is nothing more than a game of probability that gives chances to every gambler, we must remember and understand that it is nothing more than a "chance" without any certainty, so that means that it is not certain that you can make the winning chance come true, this result really cannot be forced because it will come by itself without knowing.

Every gambler should think and consider that it is not a victory but rather a reward for their participation, so obviously maybe you also understand that the name of the prize is synonymous with something that you can not always get. So the point is that forcing a win in gambling will only make you end up worse or that means it will only increase the amount you lose usually because gambling is not something that should be taken seriously but it is nothing more than a playground to get rid of boredom. On the other hand yes I have said before that maybe we can only wait for the victory to come by itself because we really don't know when it will come, so with this of course it is better to focus on applying boundaries and self-control rather than focusing on something that is not certain.

And I'm sure someone who is already addicted to gambling must be involved in debt, it's an alternative for them when they run out of money but want to gamble and that's when they think and make loans as an alternative, and also I think borrowing money can be their starting point to get into addiction for gamblers who have just come and want to try to make loans to gamble. Of course addiction is a really bad impact, not everyone is able to get through all the situations that are there, we can see that it is not uncommon for gamblers who are already addicted to end up stressed because they are not strong with the pressure they feel, especially if they are involved in loans then obviously getting into debt is a sure thing and determine will be a new problem and create new pressure that they will feel.

That's right, if someone has entered the addiction phase there is absolutely no good situation there even when they manage to get a win, one of the reasons you have mentioned that when they are in a winning situation then obviously greed is the first thing that comes to mind so that instead of cashing out but instead gambling again and increasing risk, the point is that people who are already addicted usually when they win they will be greedy and when they lose they will be more curious, so there is absolutely no good situation there.

That's right, one of them is by doing activities that we like because when you do things that you like then obviously you will feel happy and this feeling can reduce your anxiety level, on the other hand people say that their goal is to gamble to get pleasure and entertainment, yes maybe I can justify that idea if they have a very good and good approach in their gambling activities and far from being excessive. but in my opinion seeking pleasure by gambling is better to avoid it because it is very vulnerable to bad things over time, I mean humans have a forgetful nature which means it is very possible that you can forget some boundaries and self-control if you make gambling a place to gamble and far from being excessive, But in my opinion, seeking pleasure by gambling is better to avoid because it is very vulnerable to bad things over time, I mean humans have a forgetful nature which means it is very possible that you can forget some boundaries and self-control if you make gambling a place to seek pleasure which eventually unconsciously gets carried away and experiences many problems.

So it's better to avoid this and don't make it an alternative to seeking pleasure with the aim of reducing anxiety, anyway there are also quite a lot of other things that can be done as you said about the recommendations of the doctors, and maybe I will also add some of them such as always thinking positively and having enough sleep hours, this will help you to stay healthy and reduce anxiety.

Yes, it is indeed recommended, I understand what you mean is that gamblers must consider from various sides to get the best decision before they finally start their gambling session, in the matter of a small amount of budget is really highly recommended, or whatever the amount is important that you can account for and that will not make you feel upset when the final result turns out not to be as expected. But on the other hand, unfortunately some gamblers find it difficult to make considerations at the beginning before the gambling session starts in the matter of how much budget they will put, one of the things that causes them to be careless in making decisions is too focused on big wins so that they put a large budget amount that they certainly cannot be responsible for if they lose, and this is also the reason why regret always comes at the end, especially in gambling.

Therefore, I think if from the beginning of your involvement you feel upset when the final result is not in accordance with your wishes then I think there are only two choices you can take, first you have to justify your mindset and perspective on gambling, if you already understand it then I am sure you will only dare to put a small amount that you can be responsible for, and the second option is that you do not need to be involved in gambling or mean to stop in this activity.

But however I think there is still another much better choice they can take which is to not be involved in gambling at all, because they are married and of course not being involved in gambling will allow them to fully utilize the money they have for something they need in the family, meaning no unnecessary expenses. But on the other hand it is just a suggestion which in common  sense is a much better option, and yes I respect every choice and decision they will/have taken by staying involved in gambling.

The point is to keep control and boundaries and along with being a responsible gambler, you really have to be strict in applying some of these precautions because as we know that in gambling there are so many things that look tempting that can certainly tempt you, On the other hand, it is not uncommon to find some gamblers out there who end up losing their control and  boundaries due to being too careless until they finally get carried away and end up addicted, so the point is that changes in mindset and perspective are very likely to occur when you  are involved in gambling, so my advice is that you really need to be firm in applying self-control and the boundaries you made before.

True, to be honest as long as I am involved in this type of online casino I really never experienced this kind of thing, and never experienced problems in terms of cashing out the winnings that I managed to get, as you said that if we do gambling activities in accordance with the recommendations or rules applied by the casino such as making deposits correctly and absolutely no cheating in playing to win then it clearly makes sense that we will not experience any problems one of which may be problems in the withdrawal process, In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good understanding of what you're getting yourself into.

Yes, the situation experienced by the OP is quite annoying, but however it is something that should have happened, if you feel sorry for lending money to his friend I think it is a natural thing because I'm sure all gamblers who experience such situations will also feel the same way, but here he is still quite lucky because at least he can still get a win even though the amount is not too large. This is a good experience, but I don't think it's necessary to focus too much on making it a lesson, for fear that in the next session he will do things that are beyond his ability such as always putting large amounts in the hope of getting lucky like before, we must remember that after all this is gambling which means that different times will have different results too.

So stay focused by only putting the amount we can be responsible for, it's better than putting a large amount but in the end it doesn't match the wishes and obviously you will feel upset and maybe emotional and also because even though there is a chance of winning on the other hand you must understand that it is nothing more than a "chance" which may not necessarily be 100% at the end of the session.

Exactly, I totally agree with your statement that expertise only applies in sports betting and others that have a real history to predict and analyze, if you have skills in the world of sports then obviously I would prefer you or anyone to better choose this type of bet because with the skills you have at least you will be able to get closer to victory, this bet is like combining skill with luck. But if you bet on types of gambling like slots then obviously you can't apply any skills, analysis or strategy there, all of that will be in vain because this bet is purely based on luck, simply put if you are unlucky then obviously you will lose. Therefore, more gamblers are addicted to this type of betting because of the inability to accept the fact that they lose more often than win because it is difficult to get lucky in a row.

But even though there is a significant difference between the two types of betting, my advice is that you should have a good approach and only put small amounts even if you have good skills in sports because in any bet you can't completely avoid the possibility of risk, so this method is good for prevention.

Everyone has a different approach or initial introduction to gambling activities, as you said and maybe you are one of those people who come with an initial approach for fun or entertainment, such an approach is indeed recommended because gambling is not a place to earn income but only an activity to fill leisure time with the aim of finding pleasure, The point is that even if a gambler has a good and recommended initial approach but all that can change over time and that is why every gambler needs to apply strong decisiveness in his intentions and goals on gambling, the other thing is that if you really do not like losing money then obviously there is no other better decision than not to touch gambling.

Like the case of the change in goals and mindset that you are experiencing buddy, gambling has a lot of temptations in it that can certainly tantalize all gamblers' eyes and this is also one of the reasons that ultimately makes you experience a change in goals. So the point is if you don't have good enough finances such as unemployment for example then obviously don't ever touch gambling, it will only make you suffer more, and another thing I hope for gamblers who are already involved to remain firm in applying limits and goals.

The Dortmund vs Darmstadt match has started and has entered the middle of the second half with the score 1 - 0 and the advantage is on Dortmund's side, even though basically Dortmund is in an unsatisfactory performance this season by only being able to stay in the top five of the standings and in five matches In the end they were only able to achieve one win, three draws and one defeat. On the other hand, I think this is a fairly easy match for Dortmund, although any result is still possible at the end of the match, but I think they can take advantage of any situation on the pitch when they are on the field. facing a team that is at the bottom of the standings, which means Darmstadt's performance is very bad this season, and clearly I think there is absolutely no reason for Dortmund not to be able to get the full three points in this match, because firstly this is a fairly easy match for them and secondly, however, they have to move up to catch Leipzig's position with a difference of 3 points. So I hope Dortmund can maintain its lead or increase the number of goals until the final minute.

Honestly in common sense I am sure that most people will not feel comfortable if they see or know that elderly people are involved in gambling, especially if they are one of our relatives or even our own mother, it is a very worrying situation when our own parents are involved in gambling because overall gambling is a negative activity because of the bad effects that we never expected there, especially if basically the parents have entered the addiction phase which means it is clear that there will be a lot of bad effects that they will experience, one of which may be in terms of financial ruin in the family because there is an allocation of money that should be an unnecessary expense.

On the other hand, I really don't care even though they bring the excuse that gambling is for fun because however there is always the possibility or potential for bad effects such as addiction which of course can make them experience many problems. So what is better is to spend old age with other things that are fun but do not have any risks, old age is a beautiful period that should be enjoyed with fun things without involving any risks.

Usually people who have the thought "gambling is easy / winning is easy" are those who come without the right understanding, and it is mostly in the mindset and point of view of beginners who have just come based on the victories that others have managed to get which certainly makes them feel motivated to get involved and hope to get the same fate, and also on the other hand this thinking can occur to those who have just got their first win in their gambling activities, especially if the amount is large, this will make them feel great, even though on the other hand the real fact is that at that time luck was accompanying them. With a high level of confidence and trust that makes them like to justify all means just for the sake of getting money to gamble, making loans for gambling is like a natural thing for them because they believe that there will be a return that is much greater than the victory, even though all of that is still uncertain and only limited to opportunities until finally over time if they do not change their mindset then obviously they will suffer a lot of extraordinary pressure due to making loans as gambling capital.

Obviously, if you want to get calm and want to enjoy the gambling you do then there is no other way but to only put small amounts, essentially the amount you can afford to lose at the end of the session, basically having the right understanding in the approach you take to gambling will be able to make you feel safe and comfortable.

In my opinion, winning should not be made the main goal and focus in gambling because this point of view is something that is always the starting point of many problems that are likely to occur, starting from the wrong point of view which ultimately makes them gamble in the wrong way, such as forcing something (winning) too much, I understand that there is a possibility for the chances of winning to become a reality but all of that is out of the gambler's control, you can't force it by doing a lot of experiments because obviously there is no certainty whatsoever for winning at the end of the session, we can see a lot of gamblers who are stressed and I say that because they put too much hope and high expectations on gambling which ultimately makes them feel even more disappointed when the final result turns out to be losing again.

So for the problem of winning I think you can only wait for it without the need to force it by doing some careless or even stupid actions that you think can increase the chances, the way gambling works is not at all what you imagine, and what you do is nothing more than something out of hallucination that makes you seem to believe and believe but the final result slaps you again.

True, limiting is always the best decision if you are involved in gambling, firstly because in gambling there are a lot of temptations that can make a person fall further unconsciously because the main focus is usually on winning, you must understand that in gambling there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever for the final result between winning and losing, therefore as you said that being a responsible gambler by always being able to manage and control your involvement in gambling is really recommended and must be owned by every gambler.

There are only two outcomes to gambling as I said above between winning and losing, every gambler will definitely experience both as long as they are involved, the point is that if you get a win then there is absolutely no other decision but to cash in and enjoy it, on the other hand when you do lose in one of the sessions then obviously it's time for you to take time to rest, calm your mind and maintain awareness. I think we should really understand and acknowledge the fact that in gambling the risks are much greater than the chances of winning and that is the reason why losing is more common, so precautions such as limiting in all situations need to be taken.

Obviously, I think it is true that there is absolutely no enjoyment in the game if you spend too much time gambling, as we know that losing is one of the final results that has the potential to make us feel upset, in addition to gambling there is absolutely no certainty and any guarantee of victory. I think everyone agrees that losing money is annoying even if you are one of the responsible gamblers who put small amounts but still if you get involved too often then obviously the possibility of losing even a small amount will definitely happen often and over time the amount will get bigger.

So of course this is not a good idea, you cannot force victory to always come because luck is always unpredictable when it comes. Yes, I understand that at least the victory will definitely come but try to calculate all the wins and losses as long as you gamble with such methods, I'm sure the number of losses is far more dominant. That's right, if this situation continues then it is clear as you say that their finances will definitely be disrupted because they have to divide the allocation of money between living needs and gambling, like creating new problems.

In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're going to be doing. True, when their main focus is winning then obviously it is very difficult for them to feel satisfied even though they have managed to get a win, because obviously they always want something much bigger with high confidence and assume that this is a good lucky situation to get a bigger amount but on the other hand the fact is that such a point of view and approach will only make them suffer a greater number of defeats because as you have also said that gambling is nothing more than an activity to fill leisure time and should not be taken seriously.

I think in addition to seeing the downturn that has been experienced by others and making it a lesson, maybe they can also wait for the time, I mean there is still a possibility for them to reach their realization when they have run out of everything such as money and destroyed family relationships because it is likely that in such situations regret will come even though it is too late.

Spending money on yourself is not wrong, because of course everyone should be able to pamper themselves and that is for their own satisfaction. However, what you have to pay attention to is that most people who don't invest may be there are several things that make them unable to invest, namely their income is not enough or they don't have a job that produces a steady income at all, it could be that they already have a job that produces an income. but of course there are needs that must be met with certainty and if their income is limited then it is natural that they cannot invest.

Here we are discussing income which is synonymous with money, money can change a person's attitude, right? You yourself are basing it on IF, "If I have income" this is just if, everyone who has money tends to have different thoughts, so there is a possibility that you will also be like that and feel that way. Even though you prefer a larger investment, that doesn't mean you won't have economic problems, right? So in my opinion there's no harm in spending the money you have as long as it doesn't harm other people. What's wrong with that? and I myself have a fairly high income, but I share it fairly, namely 50/50. because I know there could be problems in our daily economy. Moreover, saving or investing doesn't have to be a high amount, we can do it, if you can't, don't force it.

That's true, even though they have sufficient funds to run a business, but they themselves don't have the desire to progress or are just lazy by doing new things, that's the same as lying, in fact there is a big possibility that the funds they have could run out without knowing where they went. someone who has a strong determination and enthusiasm will fight to be able to have a good business even if they don't have enough funds. I don't think they will stop there, they will find a way to make the business they want come true.

Therefore, to take an action, of course it must be considered carefully because something that is done spontaneously or not considered beforehand in my opinion will not produce maximum results, in fact it is likely that they will experience problems, even worse, perhaps failure. This could happen because the action taken is not paid attention to and considered first. To achieve success, of course, it will not be easy to turn the palm of your hand, because you have to go through and face various things that will happen, such as risks, many people fail with their business because they cannot overcome the risks that occur, therefore, before starting a business, you are expected to learn these things. related to the business he will run.

I think everyone knows how to survive in poverty, but what is clear is that no one wants to live in poverty, because it seems strange if there are people who want to survive in poverty. I think everyone wants a good improvement in their life, especially in their finances, they definitely want an income that produces money easily and quickly and in large amounts, there's no way they want their life to be poor. That doesn't make sense.

in all countries I'm sure everyone wants a good level in their life, because that way they will enjoy their life, I don't know what the OP purpose is in holding a topic like this, even though without him giving any direction everyone already knows that the way to become poor quickly is How about it, it's just that maybe people believe in this and in the end they do it and if there are people who do this OP suggestion, I think they are out of their minds. living in poverty, who knows what can be enjoyed from a life of complete deprivation.
