1781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: November 23, 2023, 02:20:18 PM
Well, as long as it is something beneficial for every player  , it is that they can Have good control of everything, to reach this level the complete expectations of total awareness must be met, for this you must have what I say maturity, because maturity is what Thinking that it will be the Best option to accept the designs that may be had within a casino is not simple, because every time you enter a casino every person will Always emphasize so that you can win and have favorable Results , that It is what we are always looking for, but as I said before , so that there is no Risk , it is best to put the money that you are willing to lose in the money, money that is not going to affect the daily life of the player so that You can have a good experience in the casino, however we are players who will always be with the expectation to be able to have more winning Opportunities with more Flexibility.

It has been shown that people who enter gambling without any kind of Knowledge about the casino and are given only to luck can Happen two things, that they win a lot or that they can lose everything or almost Everything , because the adrenaline in the casino is something that It manifests itself at once, because and the impulses and everything it means to have emotions, so for this what you should have is caution, moderation and a lot of knowledge about how to spend and how to play in a casino intelligently, for all this it always comes out self-control, and it is not easy, I personally always emphasize the first rule, I already have the balance, I am discouraged from losing, it does not matter if the person goes crazy , play it , just respect that once the money available is lost to play for session, so don't make more deposits, or something like that, because that's when we start to lose control and go against many of our rules and it has been shown that when the rules are broken in the Game or in trading , the Person is not doing Well.
Only self-control can save us from many defeats, and learning this self-control really takes time. We can practice it from day to day until we have good self-control. In gambling, this control will be able to stop us from spending too much money because we are aware that in gambling, we will find it difficult to win any amount of money. Even if we can win, the amount of money we get will probably not be as big as the amount we have lost, so we have to realize that we can only use gambling as entertainment. In gambling, there are also risks that all gamblers will face, no matter if they are pro gamblers or beginner gamblers. But this risk can be managed well with self-control so that we can reduce the risk of big losses so that we can enjoy gambling as we should. And if you can win from gambling, you should immediately realize that it is time for you to quit gambling so that you don't try to chase bigger wins. It's better for you to feel like you've had enough gambling than to take the risk of losing more money.

That's right, with the control that you have will minimize the expenditure of money used for gambling, and many people who gamble they don't have good control so they spend a lot of money to pursue a big win. It needs to be recognized, all people who gamble definitely want a big win no exception. But those who make the mistake of gambling without good self-control lead them to lose a lot of money. And this has also become a common thing no longer strange, with the defeat that is obtained cannot be replaced by the victory that is obtained, because after all they must have lost a lot of money in gambling. so the victory that is obtained will not be able to cover the defeat that has occurred. If indeed to get a win, I think they have to stop their addiction, which if they can stop the addiction that costs them a lot of money means they win, but if they still do the same thing even if they get a win then in my opinion they still lose in gambling, because as I said above the winnings that can not cover the losses that have occurred. To realize this seems difficult for someone who is already addicted, because in his mind that has been quasi by the victory he must get and this is what has been attached to their thoughts so it is difficult to get rid of easily.

People who enter a casino without preparation will only run the risk of losing more money because they cannot control themselves while gambling. They also cannot resist the temptation to continue gambling. Hence, they forget that their goal in gambling is actually just to get entertainment and must immediately stop gambling once they feel like they have had enough. But the only thing that is there is that they will lose control of themselves as their emotions increase, especially if they experience a losing streak. Experiencing consecutive losses can trigger them to try to recover their losses by depositing more money, but that only sometimes goes according to their wishes because often, they end up losing more and more. When they win, they also cannot immediately stop gambling because there is a temptation that tells them to continue gambling. After all, they have the opportunity to win more. But that's just a dream because in reality, they will lose even more.

The strong temptation that casinos have so that many people can't resist it so most of them are attracted by the temptation that casinos provide in the form of promotions that casinos provide. with the temptation that casinos provide makes them forget everything because they only focus on gambling that must be defeated by getting big wins. But unfortunately they cannot beat the casino system machine that has been set to always win in every round. With casinos that will always win and those who always lose will increase their emotions to become more aggressive in gambling and continue to gamble with the money they have and at this time they have lost control,  maybe from the beginning it was just for trial and error but they became addicted and spent all their money on gambling. And they will continue to deposit the money they have with the aim of returning the money they have lost or to chase the winnings that can cover the defeats they have experienced, and this will make them endlessly continue to gamble and not realize that they have spent a lot of money. Even the winnings that can cover their losses can be said to be a dream like you said, because it is difficult to get and almost impossible to get even if they have spent a lot of money gambling it will not guarantee a big win that will be obtained.
1782  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone been able to make steady income with gambling ? on: November 23, 2023, 02:00:17 PM
A steady income from gambling is totally possible. Good luck is required to get good from gambling. So how can a person think of steady income from gambling. Gambling is a fun place where it is only wise to have fun as gambling sites have a variety of games that help provide a variety of fun. However, it is not possible for a gambler who can control himself from gambling and has a gambling budget to play all the games. He only plays the games he likes and enjoys the fun of them. No one can ever guarantee that he can make a steady income from gambling

If a person wants to make money by gambling it will be very foolish for him. Because gambling will sometimes result in profit and sometimes loss. So there is no guarantee that it is possible to make a certain amount of money from gambling. Gambling is a bad addiction I think.  When it is completely a person becomes addicted to gambling then he will lose all his money and possessions to gambling. It is wise to choose gambling as a pastime.

I think it's also like that, if they want profit of course not by gambling, because most who gamble only get defeat not victory. And this has been experienced by many people, only a few people can get a big win which of course is rarely obtained by everyone, in my opinion, to get a big win is difficult, let alone by making a steady profit in gambling, I think it's almost impossible. Not to mention those who cannot control themselves, of course it will make it difficult for themselves in the future.

Right what you said, someone will lose all the money even until their property can also be lost because it is sold and the money from the sale is used for gambling capital,  with the same hope, to get a win that will reverse all the losses they feel, and this will have no end if they still don't realize that what they are doing is wrong because it has harmed themselves, it can even harm others, and the casino laughs satisfied with those who have run out of capital for gambling.
1783  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this a good advice? on: November 23, 2023, 01:40:37 PM
I must say that anyone who tells you that the more you gamble, the closer you are to your jackpot does not really know what they are telling you. You asked your friend a good question, though, and that was very smart of you. I believe the question took a down tone on him, making him rethink his gambling life and what he has just asked you in person. Most times, people just say things to promote their brand without thinking of the repercussions. They must know what they are doing and get at you just to join them and become addicts, and I must say that your friend did that so you could give in to his casino and become a gambler with his casino while earning a referral bonus from you if I am not mistaken.
That's true because they want to see us experience more and more losses by continuing to gamble. They actually don't want to see us win, so they tempt us to continue gambling. They or even we can indeed win from gambling, but the problem is, we and they will not know when we can win. We may only be able to continue gambling, but we have to control ourselves so that we don't experience too many losses. It won't be worth doing, especially if we use more money than before. And if you gamble too often, it can make you addicted to gambling, and maybe when you change your goals, the gambling addiction will actually come. Those who spend more time in the casino will not be closer to winning, but they may be closer to losing. If they remain unaware, they will regret it once they know the truth. So pay attention to yourself and always limit your gambling activities rather than experiencing a gambling addiction.

And that's what casinos want from their players, all casinos provide paid games of course to generate profits for their own casinos so they expect everyone to spend a lot of money in their casinos. Even if we get a win, there will definitely be a sense of wanting to get a bigger win and this is what the casino wants with people who continue gambling when they win so that they can take back the winnings obtained by the player, and this has indeed happened with many gamblers who are driven by greed to pursue bigger wins and in the end the casino gives the end with defeat to those who continue gambling.

Obviously they should be aware of the gambling that will spend a lot of time and mainly their money, because the losses will be a lot to get instead of the victory they will get easily.

It is normal that casinos are all after profit because they are profit-making ventures, so in that case, they have their organization to maintain and staff to pay and would go to any extent to make profit either way so as to keep the casino running. You, as a gambler, should know that as well. When it comes to winning, it is nice to be able to control their greed to win more because when that thought comes in, you are liable to lose more than you could imagine because you would not get it easy this time around as the casino would at all costs put an eye on your account to make sure they see to the end. It is best that you apply caution and self-restraint at this point of victory otherwise it would turn south for you.

Yes indeed because basically they also set up casinos to make huge profits, by attracting everyone to play in their casinos and pulling them deeper and deeper to spend all their money gambling, if they don't have good self-control then they will experience this, and also many have become victims of casinos because they themselves cannot control themselves properly. The fault here is not in the casino, but from themselves, if only they can control themselves, they can definitely limit their gambling by not spending their money in gambling.

The advice you said was well received, even though I am not a gambling addict, but other people should also know about what you said, that way they will not or at least be able to avoid gambling addiction, because those who gamble are very vulnerable to becoming addicted to gambling and experiencing bad things that harm them.
1784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: November 23, 2023, 01:20:54 PM
~snip~
Of course, most people will hide their gambling activities from their family because they don't want to feel disappointed or unhappy with every gambling activity they do, considering that not everyone likes gambling, and quite few even think that gambling is bad activity.
Even though the family role is very helpful, personally I will not tell my family what he does regarding gambling and will continue to hide everything even though I am in trouble.

What he did was real form of effort towards awareness to be able to recover from gambling addiction and curing addiction must be based on one own intention and determination because no matter how many people give advice or suggestions, if there is no awareness or intention from yourself then things will become very difficult.
From the emergence of awareness to recover, he can also suppress every activity he does so that when he has the desire to return, he can think that his goal is to stop and recover from the addiction he is experiencing.
You really have to have better control so that you are not tempted to gamble too often, especially since you already know what the impact is on someone who gambles too often. We could hide our gambling activities and only gamble when everyone is asleep so that no one will be disturbed, but as I said, we have to have better control. Gambling can make it deeper and harder for us to reduce our gambling activities, and when we find it difficult to give up gambling, maybe that is a sign that we are starting to experience a gambling addiction.

A person who is addicted to gambling can recover from his gambling addiction as long as he has strong intentions and determination, and even though no one accompanies him during his recovery period, he can still live it well until he is finally free from his gambling addiction. This is indeed difficult, but it depends on the intention and determination of the gambling addict because, in fact, he himself can suppress the effects of his gambling addiction. Other people who accompany him only provide encouragement and support while everything depends on him. All people with an addiction, both gambling and drug addicts, have a second chance, but it depends on whether they can take advantage of their second chance or whether they will continue to reject it.

As you said, they just have to have good self-control, by limiting gambling activities that have a dangerous impact, and also try to limit gambling, not to lose a lot of other things, such as time, for example as you said playing when everyone is asleep, that's true. But it needs to be underlined that if you do gambling activities like that too often, your sleep time or hours will be disturbed and of course this will affect our own health. And the main thing is money, as much as possible they should be able to limit gambling, by not chasing a win that is not clear that it will be easy to get and even then usually people tend to spend more money on gambling than other important things.
That's the first thing, because in my opinion even if they have their family and friends who support them to stop gambling, it will be difficult if they themselves do not have strong determination and intention, because the key is in themselves who will determine everything. As you said, even if they don't have people accompanying them in recovery, I also think they will be able to carry out the recovery well because of the strong intention and determination they have, and they must also be consistent in terms of gambling recovery. With the support of other people such as family or friends, it only needs to be used as motivation that the addicted person can leave the bad habit, and they must prove it until it is completed perfectly.

~snip~
People's thoughts are different, so they can have what they think is best for themselves, hiding or telling it in my opinion will still bring its own problems, because after all gambling is something that is not good in society. So there are those who hide their gambling activities because they are embarrassed if they find out about their activities, and there are those who tell it to explain their habits, depending on the person himself. And in my opinion, people who like to gamble tend to find it difficult to accept advice from other people even if they are family or close friends, sometimes they can also argue back because they don't accept advice.
To stop gambling is very difficult not only gambling all things that have become a habit that is said to be addicted will be difficult to cure, as you said, it takes a strong determination to stop gambling is true and I want to add, when an addict wants to quit the addiction then he will be determined with all his might to resist the desire to gamble. But if they want to gamble half-heartedly or there is still a feeling of wanting to gamble it will be in vain, it is better for them to continue gambling until they feel at the lowest point in order to fully realize the gambling that has made him lose a lot and not in terms of money alone. So in my opinion there must be a definite intention with all their heart first to stop. then they will be able to accept advice from family or people around them.
Yes, someone have their own considerations, so it's only natural that they still hide it from people because there are still many people who think gambling is something that is not good. Many people have experienced bad things because of gambling, and it cannot be cured easily. That is why those who are still hiding their gambling activities feel comfortable gambling without anyone knowing, and maybe they will still hide it for a long time. Everything will depend on how their self-control can protect them from all the problems that can arise from gambling. However, those who still hide their gambling activities must be wary of the tendency to continue gambling if they experience defeat. It can trigger them to become addicted to gambling if they cannot control themselves in gambling.

The reason gambling is not seen as a good thing is because, it has an impact that will harm someone when they have experienced gambling addiction, not much different from drug addiction. So naturally this has a bad view in all people or society. because the impact that occurs is difficult to hide, therefore it is likely that the impact will be very visible to many people around it and it is difficult to cure it as you said, because it can be said to be almost equivalent to drug addiction where if to quit the addiction it must go through a rehabilitation phase which is very difficult for addicts to do. And to stop completely at once may be difficult but can do it slowly as you said, by reducing his gambling activities and it will provide an opportunity to be able to stop gambling even though slowly, but it doesn't matter because those who go from ordinary to addiction certainly go through the process but quickly, unlike the problem to cure his addiction, they have to do it gradually, step by step. If they are consistent maybe they will be able to quickly recover from the addiction. Although the chances are said to be very slim but there is no harm in trying it because this will also produce good and positive values for themselves.

We know that stopping gambling is difficult, but we can try to reduce gambling activities because by still trying to control ourselves by reducing our gambling time and money, we can avoid gambling addiction. Something that has been done repeatedly will form a habit, so if someone wants to reduce their gambling activities, they have to form a new habit so they can start reducing it. A person must have a strong intention and determination to start, whereas if he still wants to gamble, that means he must start practicing his intention and determination so that he can stop himself from gambling. But if he loses money and no one in his family knows that he has been gambling too often, he could become seriously addicted to gambling, and no one can help him.

Yes, it is difficult to quit gambling addiction, it is almost impossible to recover from the addiction that has been attached and even ingrained with them. But there must be a way out if they really have the intention to quit the addiction itself. By doing new things when they want to gamble it will make them little by little able to leave the gambling addiction activity, for example when he wants to gamble he ventures into sports such as playing basketball, or tennis. That he can do or do other things that he likes because there are still many other things that are more useful than continuing to monitor gambling with little body movement,  but by exercising they will move all their limbs which of course will be healthy for themselves. It's true that they must have strong intentions and determination and also be consistent in what they want, of course it's not easy but if they are really consistent,  I think it will work well. If they are still half-hearted to stop gambling I think they are just wasting their time, even though they have tried but they themselves must admit that they have not been wholehearted to stop then it is better for them to gamble until the lowest point or the lowest point they don't have anything because it runs out by selling it and using it for gambling, that way they will realize by themselves do not need to get advice and encouragement from others who support them. And I don't think they have to gamble until they are old.
1785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 23, 2023, 09:10:55 AM
This is the Premier League and everything is possible, nobody believes that Bournemouth could beat Newcastle United with a 2-goal difference. Burnley is playing at home against Westham United and if they play well they can beat Westham United or get a draw from them. Burnley should not be underestimated because they will fight for points to get out of the relegation zone.
The result was beyond my expectations from the start when Newcastle submitted without being able to respond. Bournemouth can still get points again against Sheffield United. Even though Bournemouth had to visit their opponent home ground, it wasn't a big problem but apart from that Sheffield United last match went quite well being able to hold Brighton to a draw. So both Bournemouth and Sheffield United can still show each other tough competition at their respective levels. It could be said that these two clubs are both fighting to avoid the lowest position in the standings. Meanwhile, for Burnley there is nothing they can do, just being able to achieve 1 win is clearly not a positive fate in the EPL.

It would be great if you fixed all the things this site needs. The reason is, some users feel uncomfortable with an appearance that is still considered messy. Moreover, this casino still cannot be said to be suitable for launch, for example the large number of visitors makes the site down, etc. Clearly needs a complete overhaul. There is still a lot of time to perfect the casino but for now I dare not touch it further. Good luck and I welcome you to the Bitcointalk forum.
1787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you in profit? on: November 22, 2023, 06:28:48 PM


it's amazing you are making profits from gambling, this activity come out deadly for many people.
do you play provably fair games, live casino games, or bet on sports? from which games you are able to make profit?
and you said you changed your strategy, is it strategy like we play on autobet type or you are saying strategy to your actions like playing some games which you know, how to control mind while losing, etc.
we need your tips and tricks so we can win too.
First of all I don't gamble much in online casinos but I mostly bet on different sports. Earlier I placed one bet without considering the profit and loss and some bets I placed without understanding due to which I lost most of the bets earlier. I have mentioned some strategy changes in betting that strategy is that I now bet on the match where one team is much stronger than the other team. When one team is much stronger than the other, the stronger team will have a better chance of winning the match and I use this strategy in every betting. I have a good understanding of football cricket and using that understanding I am trying to make good bets and my profit is more if I calculate the profit and loss. If you have enough knowledge about football or cricket or other sports then you should follow this strategy hope you will succeed.
Betting is still gambling, it is really just that having the different thing considering that luck based and strategic based are really that totally different. There are really just those people who are really that having some interest on playing luck based or both or whatsoever. In speaking about profits then it would really vary because pretty sure that most of us would really be on negative
because we do know that house do always win but there are some bettors who are really that in positive. There's no way on determining the stats but pretty sure that there are still those gamblers who are profitable and majority is really that on losing side. In my case then im really that definitely on negative.

Play for fun and this is the most important thing, you wont really be that stressing yourself on how much you do lose and how much you do win if you are really just that enjoying the game.
You are really just that basically paying up for the fun and winning is really just that a bonus.

Everyone has their own luck, some are very lucky and some are unlucky by always losing even dominating in each of their sessions, and of course the point is that this is gambling where all the final sessions will depend on how lucky you are at that time, so in terms of luck you will not be able to force that luck to come in a row at each of your gambling, if you are too imposing or don't believe then just try to gamble as often as possible then surely what happens is not profit but even greater defeat. This is why there is no reason for anyone to overdo it, let alone gamble with the intention of earning, it is very dangerous and not recommended.

Gambling and its systems are created by casinos and with that it is ridiculous if you want to fight the casino algorithm by wanting a lot of winnings, I think that assumption is very wrong, this is a business for casinos so maybe you also already know that from five tries for example you might only get one win or not at all.

That's right, don't overdo it and it's better to gamble just for fun or to fill your empty time, don't have high hopes because winning is nothing more than a gift, you have to be strict with the concept of real gambling.
1788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone been able to make steady income with gambling ? on: November 22, 2023, 06:00:44 PM
Has anyone been able to make steady income with gambling ? If yes, what had been your strategy ? Do you diversify to multiple games in order to ensure that end result is always profit ?

I personally feel that there are very less chances of making a steady income with gambling. In fact, if you win a big amount in gambling, from there on , you should play games with less on stake and keep the winnings invested in some good option like crypto. It is important to have self control to end profitably with gambling ventures online. Do you agree with this ?
No gamblers make steady income with gambling and we all know the fact that it is unstable nad has no guarantee of a winning streak. Gambling depends on your luck and that how gamblers fate is relying on. To become successful in gambling you should be very lucky. 😁

Only silly and stupid people have the mindset or believe that they can earn consistently just by gambling, I'm sure their brains and minds are completely disturbed and maybe they are already in a high level of addiction so they can assume like that. Of course as you said that the real fact is that there is no guarantee or certainty for you to win at the end of the session, how could they assume that in a place that only relies on luck. If gambling can be used as a place to make a steady income then why are many people down with the number of defeats? in gambling the real fact is that the more you get involved or try, the more you will lose, it has been proven and many people have experienced.

So I hope before they come and get involved I hope they can see first what gambling is, don't just focus on the chances of winning because there are other more surprising risks that you never expected before, if you really don't believe and still want to bring that mindset, go ahead, that's your right, but remember not to blame others when the downturn occurs. If you want to get rich just by then there is no other way unless you build your own casino and become a croupier, because the house will always win.
1789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this a good advice? on: November 22, 2023, 05:40:19 PM
I must say that anyone who tells you that the more you gamble, the closer you are to your jackpot does not really know what they are telling you. You asked your friend a good question, though, and that was very smart of you. I believe the question took a down tone on him, making him rethink his gambling life and what he has just asked you in person. Most times, people just say things to promote their brand without thinking of the repercussions. They must know what they are doing and get at you just to join them and become addicts, and I must say that your friend did that so you could give in to his casino and become a gambler with his casino while earning a referral bonus from you if I am not mistaken.
That's true because they want to see us experience more and more losses by continuing to gamble. They actually don't want to see us win, so they tempt us to continue gambling. They or even we can indeed win from gambling, but the problem is, we and they will not know when we can win. We may only be able to continue gambling, but we have to control ourselves so that we don't experience too many losses. It won't be worth doing, especially if we use more money than before. And if you gamble too often, it can make you addicted to gambling, and maybe when you change your goals, the gambling addiction will actually come. Those who spend more time in the casino will not be closer to winning, but they may be closer to losing. If they remain unaware, they will regret it once they know the truth. So pay attention to yourself and always limit your gambling activities rather than experiencing a gambling addiction.

And that's what casinos want from their players, all casinos provide paid games of course to generate profits for their own casinos so they expect everyone to spend a lot of money in their casinos. Even if we get a win, there will definitely be a sense of wanting to get a bigger win and this is what the casino wants with people who continue gambling when they win so that they can take back the winnings obtained by the player, and this has indeed happened with many gamblers who are driven by greed to pursue bigger wins and in the end the casino gives the end with defeat to those who continue gambling.

Obviously they should be aware of the gambling that will spend a lot of time and mainly their money, because the losses will be a lot to get instead of the victory they will get easily.
1790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: November 22, 2023, 05:21:46 PM
It's not like that, but most of them are like that because they can't control themselves properly, so they gamble continuously because they have become addicted, and basically the human mind is easily tempted by advertisements on the internet, they are already interested, especially when they play, and what I know in my experience, beginners who gamble will be given a small win to attract them deeper, even though they know it's an attractant but it doesn't guarantee them to stop there, surely they will return to gambling and continue like that until they experience gambling addiction. In fact, when they have experienced addiction, it will make them turn into a more sensitive person, and in my opinion, relationships with lovers will also be affected, even with family, even if it will happen if they are severely addicted, I say this because according to the main topic "the madness of addicts", drug addicts or gambling are equally bad, both of these will harm themselves in terms of finance, health, and relationships. More or less, their friends will stay away because they don't want to get carried away with this dangerous addiction. And remember they need to be able to control themselves before gambling.

Not loving our self, will affect others not to love us. Gambling addiction, helps our loved ones to some extent, to stop loving us in future. They'll pretend to stick by us, but when the addiction doesn't allow us enough time to think properly, they, our loved ones, will find a way of adjusting their friendship with the addicted person. It's certain that most indoor gamblers expose themselves to gambling addiction, because their actions are hidden. And can hardly be traced by other people around them. It's normal to find a person we can trust, as gambling newbies, could be a gambler, and discuss our new habits, and how it's affecting our daily activities. Because most of them don't enjoy the money won, which is attributed to greed. They easily get glued to gambling and forget about other exercises like reading and working out. Which they used to practice before they became gamblers. Such a new development, opens an avenue for questions. Close family members can query him. Nothing can be hidden for so long. They can ask questions like, I hardly see you reading, like before, what is it that replaced your reading habit? The way we ask the question also determines if they'll tell us the truth or get cunning about their answer. Asking such people questions like "what's wrong with you?" may not be effective. Because within them, nothing is wrong. Hence, having a discussion session with them using questions to steal the truth from them can be very effective. The reason, which is bad, why people or friends avoid addicted gamblers is, they feel nothing can be done to help. Some only get concerned, if the addicted person now steals or borrows money from them without paying back a dime. If not for actions like that, the addicted person will be allowed to waste years in addiction, provided he uses his funds to finance his bad habit. Thereby leading the player to a more difficult situation, as getting depressed. 

That's for sure, because people who are addicted to gambling will experience something bad, even with their common sense.  So it's natural that people stay away from those who are addicted because I also don't want to get carried away with things that are not good. I gamble, but I can say I'm not addicted because I can still limit gambling by not going crazy chasing victory. don't be like that, when someone gets a big win it could also be that they avoid their old friends and make new friends, this has become a natural law that must be experienced by many people. To enjoy the winning money of course they have to fight the greed that is in them,  but most of them when they get the winnings they can't fight the greed so they continue the game to pursue a bigger win than the winnings they have got. This often happens to all gamblers and becomes a difficult thing to avoid when getting a big win and that way they will only focus on gambling and ignore other things, even though there are also many important things they have to do besides gambling. But with their focus on gambling so they don't think about other things that are more important to them. Of course this is detrimental to themselves, because by focusing on gambling, a lot of time is lost in vain.

People's thoughts are different, some are frank about their gambling habits. By telling their family or friends, maybe the goal is that they can get advice or advice so that they don't fall deeper into gambling or what is called addiction. And on the other hand, there are those who hide their gambling habits, because they are embarrassed if their family and friends find out about their gambling habits, they know that what they do is something that has a negative point of view in society and that is a true fact, so it is natural that they hide their gambling habits, with gambling addiction can bring unreasonable things, maybe friends will avoid people who are addicted because they are afraid that they will borrow money forcibly, Because the addiction drive that makes them more aggressive can argue with anyone who prevents them from gambling, but for families like his they will not stay away from him because after all family is the most valuable treasure, because when a person addicted to gambling is in a bad position I think the family will still accept it by advising him slowly so that they realize what they are doing is wrong. Those who are severely addicted will commit evil acts that are beyond reason such as stealing,  robbing or other criminal acts. And this should be avoided even though it is difficult to avoid.

~snip~
The importance of the role of family, no matter how bad it is for us to gamble, don't ever leave your family, let alone not be honest with them that you are a gambler, no one cares about your life, everyone may only be able to give advice and even that may be difficult for you to accept, because addicts will not can be cured only with advice without encouragement from those closest to him. for example, his family is very important.

I know how the process of healing gambling addiction is because I saw my friend do it himself because he had exceeded his normal limits as a gambler so he had to start from himself without having to involve other people, his family only gave him encouragement so that he could recover from his addiction. Finally, after several years, he managed to recover. Now he enjoys life without gambling and is happy with his family.
But there are still many who are not honest with their families, especially when it comes to gambling. They feel it is better to hide their gambling activities than to tell other family members, even though hiding their gambling activities from their family members can cause problems that they will never realize. And yes, if someone is addicted to gambling and gets advice from other family members, maybe they won't be able to accept it easily, and maybe there should be someone else outside the circle of family members who can advise him so that he wants to reduce his gambling activities.

Your friend is willing to realize his gambling addiction and is willing to learn to heal himself even though there is no family to help him and only encourage him. But maybe for him, that was enough, so he continued to undergo the process of healing his gambling addiction until he finally recovered. It requires very strong determination and effort, and perhaps only a few can do it.

People's thoughts are different, so they can have what they think is best for themselves, hiding or telling it in my opinion will still bring its own problems, because after all gambling is something that is not good in society. So there are those who hide their gambling activities because they are embarrassed if they find out about their activities, and there are those who tell it to explain their habits, depending on the person himself. And in my opinion, people who like to gamble tend to find it difficult to accept advice from other people even if they are family or close friends, sometimes they can also argue back because they don't accept advice.
To stop gambling is very difficult not only gambling all things that have become a habit that is said to be addicted will be difficult to cure, as you said, it takes a strong determination to stop gambling is true and I want to add, when an addict wants to quit the addiction then he will be determined with all his might to resist the desire to gamble. But if they want to gamble half-heartedly or there is still a feeling of wanting to gamble it will be in vain, it is better for them to continue gambling until they feel at the lowest point in order to fully realize the gambling that has made him lose a lot and not in terms of money alone. So in my opinion there must be a definite intention with all their heart first to stop. then they will be able to accept advice from family or people around them.

But as far as I know, usually when they get a win, let alone to spend it, sometimes just to withdraw it they can't, because they are tempted by the bigger winnings they expect, because with a small winnings it makes them more confident with the next winnings they will get and bigger wins, even though it is not necessarily possible to get it because if like that they can lose the winnings they have got, and in the end they will get a defeat that will make them upset with the lost winnings.
As you said,  gambling cannot guarantee a win that will be easy to get. Because casino gambling also creates the game to make money not to give money to the players easily. So they should be aware of the meaning of gambling which is only for entertainment, not to provide large amounts of winnings. and they should be able to control themselves by when they get the winnings, they immediately cash them out, not playing them again. because if that's the case, they will lose the winnings they have got.
The thing that kill many gamblers in terms of loses records is their inability to walk away after a test of the winnings,  and casinos are aware of that and that is why their always make every possible attempts to offers you early winning to keep you stick in and eventually losing more in the process, this is a mechanism that many gamblers are not aware of and reason why most of them always end of recording more loses tan winning.
For instance when I placed a vet with an odds of 2.8 and the result came out as winning, I immediately withdrew my winning and walked away looking forward to another great day when and when my luck would shine once again.

And that's the reality that many people do, with the difficulty of cashing out or withdrawing the winnings they have gotten, so they continue to play to get a bigger win, and maybe this choice will kill them themselves because the chances of getting another win are very slim and almost impossible to get a bigger win. With the initial win that they get, I think it's just a kasnio trick to attract more people who play so that they will continue to pursue bigger wins.
This is difficult to avoid by people who gamble. But it is natural that they want a bigger win, because everyone who plays also wants it, but unfortunately it is difficult to get and what happens instead they lose more money.

I know it’s very easy to make money in gambling. That’s kind of the whole lure of it, that you can make money, fast, and easily. But gambling it's not a steady income due to the high risk involved. It’s great to win money! People love that! That's why they gamble in the first place. The main issue with gambling is that while people win money, they lose even more money if they don't know how to control it. Like I said in other post, you should know how to control it and set limitation for yourself.

On the contrary, it’s not very easy to make money in gambling. Perhaps notions like these are what makes people go into gambling hoping to make easy money quickly only to later realize after having bad losses, that it’s not so easy to make money with gambling.
Of course, it’s great to win money and most people would love winning money but the desire to win money should not cloud any sense of judgement. It’s not that easy to win money in gambling and if you do win, don’t be in a hurry to stake more in a bid to win more else, you’re going to be very sorry.

Yes, never to be such a greedy when you are placing your pick, most of the time that's the reason why instead of making money you lose a lot becuase you don't know how to properly manage your finances, just the thinking that if luck permits you may quickly double your money and win a lot, things that linger inside you and give you that impression that you can keep making decent amount of winning by pushing yourself into gmbling and treat the place as a good venue for  making money.

They tend to be greedy when they get a win, by continuing to play gambling because they want a bigger win with a lack of satisfaction with the winnings they have gotten. This greed will cause them to become addicted to gambling, with a sense of dissatisfaction also encouraging them to continue gambling by not realizing the impact and risks of gambling. Even if they are lucky, they will get a bigger win, but in reality many people get defeated after deciding to return to gambling.
Making gambling as a source of easy money income is done by many people, assuming that the victory will be easy to get, if you look back, maybe they have spent a lot of money to get that victory, because unconsciously they are focused only on pursuing big wins.
1794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: November 22, 2023, 03:45:30 PM
There was a time when I just bet for the sake of betting. So I guess it's addiction already.  In the past, I also felt the urge to play games and there were times when I forced it even if I had priorities to do. And then I felt bad when luck was not on my side so it's better if I just gave a pass and did my other priorities. But they are not something serious because I always bet according to my financial status. And it is very important for us to continue learning lessons in life to become a better person. I still bet regularly with minimal amounts and I am having fun with it.

There are several purposes that make someone come or get involved in gambling, including gambling to find entertainment when they are bored or to fill their empty time and there are also those who deliberately come with the aim of earning income, for these two choices honestly it is completely out of the control of others and only they know about what their purpose is in coming to this gambling activity. But sometimes even if you come just for entertainment it will not always rule out the possibility that you will feel addicted, why? logically everyone needs money and when they get a win then their common sense about the real understanding of gambling will be easily disturbed, which initially they understand that this is an activity that is nothing more than fun but as time goes by and is accompanied by getting a win then slowly their mindset will change and become serious in terms of putting hope.

The feeling of fun and excitement generated from gambling especially because of the winnings will make them forget about everything including limits, which is why they always force something that is basically difficult to achieve, they start to depend on this activity. You have a great way of engaging in your gambling by only putting an amount that you can always account for, that's the best.
1795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 22, 2023, 03:10:00 PM
I honestly believe that the defeat that continues to dominate makes you uncomfortable with all the pressure you feel there, it seems like you have to consider from various sides about whether gambling is good for you or not, if the reality is that this activity only adds to the problem, especially in your finances then why not stop early? You can't always force luck to come to you, it all runs randomly and can never be predicted. All the ways you do will still end up in vain if luck is not on your side. On the other hand I'm sure the reason you've lost a lot of money is because you came with the wrong intentions and shouldn't, there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone to win easily, you can achieve it on condition that you have to be willing to spend more capital or that means gambling more often then at a certain time I'm sure you will be able to at least get one win, but on the other hand I would ask if that amount is balanced or can cover the capital you spend with several failed attempts? I'm not sure if it's appropriate.

So the bottom line is if this activity only causes a lot of problems then I hope you can be firm with yourself that this is not a good place for you, forget all hopes, no one is rich just by gambling except the bookie.
1796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When does the moment come when the gambler loses control? on: November 22, 2023, 02:46:21 PM

If you enter gambling out of desperation, it’s the same as simply throwing money into a burning fire. I will never go for such players. As for me, I bet on football matches to get a little fun and excitement in the game. It even brings a little joy, but not despair.

As well, gamblers who allow desperation to have a better part of them are those who gamble more than they can afford and so they try to chase back those loses. Gambling is not a source of income or living but a trier to multiply our bankroll so we can't afford to do gambling like all our lives depends on the winning for survival. Do a budget of the bankroll and when you exhaust it without winning then rest and play next time, this is the reasonable practice to gambling and that will not cause any gambler to be desparate but more people will get to that level if they keep depending on gambling to survive in this harsh economy.
Taking a break after a significant loss is smart, but reason can't always overcome our emotions. I would even say that almost never, this is the main idea of gambling. I know that some professional players who have been making money from gambling for many years (and we know very, very few of them) can continue to play even after a strong loss. Probably it was tilt, but this is what distinguishes a professional: this can happen to him no more than 3 times a year and he always says what he feels in order to understand whether tilt affects his decision-making or not. I stopped playing with high stakes because I know that I have no advantage with smart decisions over the gambling platform.

The fact is that not everyone can defeat their curiosity and their selfish feelings, indeed the best way is as you say that is to stop immediately when your gambling session is closed with defeat, but it is very difficult to do and maybe only some people can do it, because usually when you lose, your emotions will increase because the final result is not what you want, especially if you gamble with a large enough budget, and with that the curiosity is getting higher which is driven by uncontrolled emotions, which is why gamblers can lose more than what they originally budgeted, none other than because all the starting points of the problem are in the mindset that is too excessive in expectations.

In my opinion there are some significant differences between professional gamblers and novice gamblers, it is clear because in terms of how they play professional gamblers are more experienced and that means they will know better what to do and what to avoid in certain conditions, basically every gambler definitely wants to win but for those who are experienced they have ways to minimize the amount of loss one of which is by stopping when losing, they will not let emotions get the better of them, because of course if they let it then surely they will lose all control.
1797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: November 21, 2023, 06:24:31 PM
Gamblers know its not a steady income. Often tmes they lost money either online and offline.

Developing a casino is not for everyone also. There are many casinos who already gave up after years of operating. Their funds run out and because of the competition, they died.

Thogh I would like owning a casino, I probably would fail like them because of th competition of casinos. This where casinos clash even in this forum the biggest casino needs to stay on top like Stake.
I think that those casinos that died have something they are doing wrong, maybe they don't have some funds in place and they thought they can still make money starting the business, my question for you sir is what could possibly happen if a casino isn't making money? It's not as if they are on some count down time that's running out, if your casino isn't attracting new gambler then you should focus on marketing strategies, can't deny that many are not good in this field, some know it's the right thing but they can't spend money.

This is why running a casino isn't for everyone, you need a lot of money, because you will be spending a lot on marketing before your casino become well known, you have to be sure that you are capable of the funding, it's not something you can start right now and hope you make money first.

Also location matters, and that's why I don't like offline casinos, they are harder compare to running online casino, you don't need a good crowd location to start the business, just do some marketing online and find streamers with load of followers.

if too many people get big wins that they run out of funds, but I don't think that's possible.
In my opinion,  if casinos don't make money, then why do they open casinos? Because basically casinos are created to provide games where the games are set up to make money, by providing paid games for people who play them, and with games that have been set up, they set them up to not be defeated by people or players. And as you said about marketing strategies, in my opinion with the development of technology today online gambling is mostly done by casinos, because that way people can play without having to go to a physical casino and this is also a strategy to reap greater profits, because more and more people will play without having to go to a physical casino. By placing advertisements on the internet, because the percentage of people today, they spend more time with their gadgets, and it will make it easier for them to do online gambling because it is easy for anyone to do.
1798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: November 21, 2023, 06:06:42 PM
When you are addicted even your savings will also be used for it. Good thing that I have never done that, although I've got a few savings in the bank but I have never used any of them for gambling.

Most of the time, when I have cash in the past, I just use amount that's spare to me for any recreational actvity like gambling.

Never got to that point but I became active gambler before.

The thing you mentioned is likely to be done by gamblers who have experienced severe addiction, because when the heavy addict has run out of his remaining money or the money they usually use for gambling, they will do anything to get back to gambling. first, maybe they will do what you said, by using the savings they have. And it could be that they use up all their savings because of the pursuit of victory that is difficult to get. Secondly, they may borrow from their family, friends, and even the bank, with the risk of not playing. But if they borrow to the bank maybe it can still be said to be uncertain, because it will involve many parties. Third, they can commit crimes. and this is what I am most afraid of,  maybe not only me but their own families will also feel what I feel, because of the addiction that will have a dangerous bad impact on themselves or even others, because by committing this crime it must involve other people who do not know anything. with its high risk it can even involve the authorities but they tend to do it because of the high desire to gamble so they can't help it.
1799  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler's family action. on: November 21, 2023, 05:40:36 PM
Money can be intoxicating sometimes and only a few percentage of persons in the world actually know how to control the pressure and influence that comes with money control. I have had so many friends who were successful in hitting some significant profits in gambling but all end up squandering the fund in different things just because they have this perception that it's actually free money and should be spent anyhow.
It is very difficult to be able to control the money we have no matter how much we have if we can't use it properly of course the money will easily run out and we don't even know where the money is used, when someone wins a bet in the gambling we play of course they have to be able to controlling themselves, it would be better to take the winnings they have got and enjoy them, rather than looking for bigger wins and spending all the winnings they have got.
Most gamblers can't keep that money after they win. As soon as they win, they want to use the money for various purposes and at one point even spend their entire winnings. But they should understand what happens if they lose when gambling again after winning. Where the money will come from at that time? Every gambler should conduct gambling with patience and spend the winnings properly. If the winning money can be invested in any investment or profitable venture then the money can support the gambler in transition from there. Since there is no guarantee of winning in gambling, gambling can be managed well if money is adequate for gambling.

But as far as I know, usually when they get a win, let alone to spend it, sometimes just to withdraw it they can't, because they are tempted by the bigger winnings they expect, because with a small winnings it makes them more confident with the next winnings they will get and bigger wins, even though it is not necessarily possible to get it, because if like that they can lose the winnings they have got, and in the end they will get a defeat that will make them upset with the lost winnings.
As you said,  gambling cannot guarantee a win that will be easy to get. Because casino gambling also creates the game to make money not to give money to the players easily. So they should be aware of the meaning of gambling which is only for entertainment, not to provide large amounts of winnings. and they should be able to control themselves by when they get the winnings, they immediately cash them out, not playing them again. because if that's the case, they will lose the winnings they have got.

There is an opinion that the greatest dependence on gambling is formed at the moment of a big win. The player understands that money can be earned LIKE THIS. This is a fairly common opinion.

But I believe that the greatest dependence on gambling appears at the moment of loss, when the player admits in his head the idea that he could earn so much. He is disappointed, but wants to recoup. It is at this moment that the desire comes to play again and again in order to return to the previous state.

What do you think about it?
In cases like this there are many moments that can make a person lose control of gambling, even though he already has financial restrictions, what you mentioned is one example that indeed such things often happen to gamblers that ultimately make someone continue gambling, because they want to return to the best state before.

And usually because of that, their mentality also becomes bad, because they think they can return to their previous situation, even though they are even more in a downturn, and at that time what they have built before gambling to follow the rules is all destroyed by such a small mistake. emotional control is very important in cases like this, which if you have good emotional control, you will always be wiser in trying your luck even after winning, you play once more and then lose, you will still stop because you feel that the benefits of the previous multiples are still mostly on your side.

I think this kind of mistake is more likely in slot gamblers. Grin

I think they lose control when they get a small win, because at that time they will be confused about continuing the game or cashing it in. But most of those who continue the game because of a small win think that their luck has not run out, so they decide to continue the game even though by continuing the game, it is not necessarily going to get another win, instead it can spend the winnings they got at the beginning.
What often happens, when they continue the game, and most of the gamblers who continue the game they get a win that makes them upset and want to return the winnings they have gotten, but it needs to be underlined, with the loss of the winnings they get, based on their own choices, so they should be able to accept it instead of getting upset and wanting to gamble again. And this in my opinion can be said to be the moments when they lose control.
