One common mistake repeated by gamblers is chasing losses, where they continue to bet more in an attempt to recoup previous losses. This can lead to further financial losses and exacerbate gambling problems.
Chasing losses and not being able to stop and withdrawing money when you get a profit because you think it's a lucky day and thoughts like this are the result of not being able to control yourself so you are dominated by greed.
Unfortunately, many gamblers repeat this mistake, it could be because they are gambling with money that they cannot afford to lose, so they are always trying to get back what they have lost, and when they win, they are not satisfied because after calculating it, it is not comparable to what they have lost, even though it is difficult it's even impossible to recover what you've lost in gambling, even if you can, it's just because you're lucky.

I think it all starts with a person's inability to accept the fact of loss or defeat which in turn makes it difficult for them to control themselves when they lose and in the end it is clear as you said that the action they will take is gambling with the intention and purpose of chasing victory in order to reach the recovery phase, this is a situation when someone is losing and also when the situation is winning still I would say that it is not a real win for them because after all this type of gambler will find it difficult to completely ignore the greed aspect in him so as you said that they feel that this is his lucky day and instead of immediately cashing out his winnings but they prefer to continue the session in the hope of getting a bigger amount.

Usually this is a typical gambler who has entered the addiction phase where when they win they are greedy and when they lose they are unable to accept reality, and yes I agree with you that most likely they are gambling with money that they cannot afford and also in addition to carrying the intention and purpose to earn so in the end the results at the end of the session are always disappointing, they only think about winning and do not think about what if they lose.

Yes, it is true that such stories and facts do abound because most people are too serious in terms of taking the chances of winning that exist in gambling, they think that gambling is a place that can be relied on to solve financial problems or to accelerate the change to become a rich man in a short time and they are irresponsible gamblers in the sense that they always pursue victory at all costs such as not hesitating to borrow money from others when they have no money but are not ready to accept the fact when they experience defeat.

However it is an action that is often done by gamblers who come to earn based on a wrong understanding of gambling, even though they are always slapped by the fact and reality that they always lose more than win but still they always paddle, I don't really know about why they can be that crazy but one thing I know is that they put their hopes and beliefs in winning so they always do actions that actually in common sense and rational point of view it is clearly endangering themselves and will only lead them to the abyss or lose money in more significant amounts.
One of the main reasons on why gambling is really that a profitable business into those owners just because gamblers does really have this kind of thinking and mindset on which they've been really just that thinking that they could really be able to make themselves that getting rich and this is something that they would really be that trying to push even out of their limit. People do really just tend to stop on the time that they would really be that experiencing hardships and those challenges when it comes to gambling. Getting addicted is something that the main thing on where you should really be that trying to avoid because once
you do really be able to shackled out then getting out would really be that impossible and this is something that you should really be wary about and something that you should be mindful.

Casinos have a very clever system which I am sure that before they created gambling they did their research first on what could attract many people which in the end they applied the chances of winning to gambling activities which these chances apply to everyone involved in gambling, but what gamblers don't understand is that they don't know that realizing the chances of winning is not as easy as they think, or not as easy as turning the palm of the hand but they still stick to their beliefs which in the end yes they end up with a lot of downfalls which sometimes they don't realize that it is the result of the wrong approach to gambling.

I say that this is a typical gambler who will eventually enter the addiction phase and it is a fact that most gamblers come with the intention and purpose to earn because they are unable to resist all the things that look tempting which are actually nothing more than a temptation so that they do not stop their gambling activities or it is something that will make them become more excessive.
463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How possible is it to win lottery 14 times using mathematics calculations on: March 28, 2024, 05:41:08 PM
Games are easily manipulated therefore lottery as well could be rigged and there's no way any person could win repeatedly for 14 times without missing, and of course there is phishy manipulation behind this otherwise we can't find someone overly winning for that numbers of time.
Or do we say anything is possible?
Well from my knowledge about gambling have never came across such thing being so common and popular where someone do win, although winning gambling doesn't come consistent maybe it could be occasionally.

The reason why I don't believe in this news is because in my opinion overall gambling is always about hit and miss activities and can never be predicted about the results at the end of the session which means you will only win when you are lucky while on the other hand luck is always unknowable when it comes and when it goes and also it is very difficult to achieve a lucky streak of 14x in a row like this, there is no such thing as an element of consistency in terms of luck, because everything is always about "occasional and coincidence", so I think your suspicion is right.

Maybe we can say that person was a staff in another casino where he knows lot of secret behind gambling and lottery how it works and how its being played for someone to keep winning continually. For instance, when when Hard Criminal join's the forces he knows the best way to fetch his follow criminal or alternatively, when a retired military man goes out to join with the criminal he knows the best way to escape force men while on their way going to robe. In summary, if this person doesn't know anything inside the lottery there no way he could win that much so if it was me I need to question him severely.

Yes it seems that it could also be true, as you said that there is a possibility that the person is one of the insiders in the casino or it could also be interpreted as staff or someone who works in the casino itself where there is a possibility that he knows about the secrets behind how to get a win on one of the games, although on the other hand I believe that overall gambling depends and refers to how lucky you are in running the session but your suspicion here may have a point too.

True, the question and the oddity is that if for example the person is an ordinary gambler who does not know anything about lottery games then yes I think the chances are very small to actually be able to produce such a winning streak. But on the other hand I think that if the person really has a way or a secret to be able to win that many bets then there is a possibility that the casino where he works goes bankrupt and of course that is something that can harm the casino itself, or the point is that my idea leads to a very small possibility for the casino to share the secret of its winnings with others because it can harm the company.

Knowing when to stop is an important skill to practice and develop
Its a must
If you let the dopamine rush dominate you you’re lost and will end up alone in the corner.

Don’t let it dominate you.
Remember this.

Always be alert and watch your actions

Recently, I couldn't bring myself to stop playing slots. It was like an addiction that took over me completely. Every time I lost, I felt disappointed, but I kept playing, hoping for luck.

The trouble is that in this problem it seems that victory will come in the next spin, or after him, or later. But in fact, the player becomes like a donkey with a carrot in front of him.

I'm sure you're stuck in a cycle of chasing wins to recover or to get back what you've lost, the problem here is that you don't have the ability to accept the fact of losing at gambling so in the end you're unable to stop and instead continue playing in the hope and belief that you'll be able to get back the money you've lost.

Maybe I would say that you have entered the fse of addiction where you are stuck in the cycle of chasing victory to restore something that has been lost, and as you said that when you lose you always think that maybe in the next round you will win which you also think that victory will bring you to the point of recovery, but I will say that actually it is nothing more than your feelings or illusions that are not based on any guarantee to actually be able to realize victory. My advice is better end it all buddy, believe me that if you continue to follow your feelings then in the end you will only be in a worse situation, chasing victory in gambling is like you are chasing your own shadow, and better let go of all that has been lost and change your approach and mindset in a more correct and reasonable direction, I suggest you to think rationally.
465  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: March 28, 2024, 04:40:02 PM
That's true, of course there is no loss that makes us happy, especially with gambling where it involves money and everyone of course wants money, so when the money you have is lost then what you feel is upset and sad and it's impossible to be happy. also with the gambling that is done, it is very likely that it will only end in defeat, of course we must be able to accept this, because losing in gambling cannot be avoided, if we really want to gamble then we should be able to accept the risk of losing money which is certain. gambling carried out.
Yes, it's true that no one will enjoy losing, in any case, if there are only two things in the end, namely losing and winning, but what happens is losing, then what will be felt is disappointment, it really doesn't make sense if there are people who can enjoy losing. especially with matters involving money. but what is clear is that we have to be able to accept the losses that occur in gambling, because if it is not like that then what will happen is another problem.
Losing money is never been fun and and it would really be just that normal that you would really be having that kind of reaction considering that we dont like on losing money and its never
been that entertaining or something enjoyable and this is why it would really be that normal that we would really be having that kind of reaction because losing money is never been fun.
But we do know that on the time that we do able to experience some wins then this is the moment that you would really be able to forget those loses and the cycle continues.
Losing is part of gambling and this is something that you should really be making yourself wary if you do really like for you to have that kind of acceptance about loses.
There are really just those people who are really that too impulsive on the time that they would really be experiencing issues and problems.

Yes that's right, in any case I think it's a fact that everyone doesn't like losing their valuables especially money which means there is absolutely no pleasure in losing something that has value, but however gambling is always about risky activities which means it has the possibility of losing your money unexpectedly regardless of the chances of winning and this is why it is always recommended to be a responsible gambler in the sense that we must be able to take responsibility for whatever will happen at the end of the session especially losing.

I would say you're a loser if you're only thinking about the winnings but not ready and able to accept the losing situation and maybe I would advise you that it's better not to gamble at all if you're not able to be a responsible gambler because after all, the inability to accept risk is always the starting point for someone to overreact or do things that are out of control that have a high probability of triggering many bad possibilities such as those experienced by addicts where they lose more money than they earn. So you just have to choose whether you are able to be a responsible gambler or not, if not then obviously as I suggested that it is better not to gamble at all.
466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 27, 2024, 09:09:59 PM

Gamblers share a common belief that they must win at any costs, which leads to their consistent gambling behavior. I'm wondering if they get bored of losing. However, they just want to make money from gambling by force they want to make up for the money they lost in earlier games, and they forget that gambling does not work that way. I discovered that when you are desperate, you lose much more money. Very funny if that individual is trying to recover money from gambling. Just play for fun and lower your expectations so that you don't get disappointed to much when you lose and when you lose you will lose interest. That is how emotions are managed. Gambling is something that fucks with people emotions so everyone needs to always caution there self when they are going extreme. If you don't control your self you can gamble away all your money.
If you are really that making yourself believe that you could really be able to win up gambling on your next bets or trying out to chase up your losses then you are just eventually be putting up yourself on such great or big trouble on which we do know that gambling is really just that for fun and also house do always win at the end on which it would really be just that right that you should really know on what you should really be gonna doing because if you wont then you are just basically putting up  yourself on such harm or potential problem. The main problem on which most gamblers are continously been trying out to get as much as they can or simply just that they are really just that too greedy on which its something which isnt really that recommended on gambling space.

Confidence is nothing more than something that exists in human feelings while gambling is a system where the casino has set everything up from the beginning and they have also arranged every round that will occur which the overall outcome of the bet will be more favorable to the casino than you or other gamblers. This means that "feelings and beliefs" cannot be used as a benchmark or reference that you will get another win or you will manage to recover, because everything always ends with how lucky you are at the time of running the session.

This is the mistake that exists in the mindset of gamblers who come with the intention and purpose of earning, which is that they are too sure of things that are actually beyond their abilities, or that means they are too sure of something that they will actually only be able to get when they are lucky or when luck comes while on the other hand gambling has the risk of losing, And obviously with this mindset, it is only natural that you or anyone experiences a greater number of defeats than wins, gambling with the intention and purpose of earning is like you are chasing your own shadow and this is the reason why gambling is more recommended to be used as entertainment suggestions only without putting any hopes and expectations on winning if you don't want to always end up with disappointment and regret.
467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: March 27, 2024, 08:41:50 PM
Any type of games you play at work can distract you and hinder you. I did not participate in gambling in the workplace, however I did play mobile games for a long time. This made it difficult for me to progress in my career. I have now been free from gambling during work for over two years and it has had a beneficial effect on my professional life. I got a promotion at work and started earning more. Therefore, if you are striving for success at work, it is advisable to give up any kind of gaming during working hours.

True, it has the potential to hinder and delay the more important activity in your life, your work, because your attention and concentration will surely be diverted no matter how skilled you are at managing both. There is so much to lose when you try to juggle two activities at the same time that the results of your work are likely to be less than optimal and losing is another possible risk.

Of course as you said that this habit of gambling at work will be able to hamper your career in the world of work where it may be difficult for you to develop to crawl up to a higher position with a higher income or salary, and thankfully if you have managed to get out of the bad habit of gambling at work it is good. But there is something that should be more concerned than that, which is a more serious problem is that there is a high possibility for you to experience problems in the company where you work where the fear is that if your boss finds out about your bad gambling habits when you are at work then obviously there is a high probability that you will be fired and lose your job, because overall gambling has a negative perspective in the eyes of society while the workplace is a place where you have to be professional.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: March 27, 2024, 08:23:24 PM

What you said is nothing but the truth. Most people gamble with the last amout they have, hoping to win more due to the little financial constrain they have, and may end up spending the small they have generated. I could remember back in the days when my friend was trying to gather money for his house rent, but due to taken unnecessary risk on gambling, Saying that he wants to double his hustle and he end up spending the little he has in gambling and was left with nothing.
Those stories abound, those which are irresponsible with their money will find it difficult to pay for their bills and their debts in time, but instead of changing their ways, setting a budget or getting another job, they think of gambling as a way to solve their problems in a fast and easy way, but very often what happens is the opposite, with those people making their situation many times worse by losing whatever money they had left, and sometimes by even losing the money they had borrowed from some of their friends.

Yes, it is true that such stories and facts do abound because most people are too serious in terms of taking the chances of winning that exist in gambling, they think that gambling is a place that can be relied on to solve financial problems or to accelerate the change to become a rich man in a short time and they are irresponsible gamblers in the sense that they always pursue victory at all costs such as not hesitating to borrow money from others when they have no money but are not ready to accept the fact when they experience defeat.

Well from my knowledge about gambling have never came across such thing being so common and popular where someone do win, although winning gambling doesn't come consistent maybe it could be occasionally.

Although basically nothing is impossible but when it comes to gambling activities then I think yes it is very unlikely to be able to get such a good win with a total of 14 consecutive winning transactions, I don't believe it but I think this is too impossible and if it is true then maybe he is one of the record breakers in this type of betting and I don't know if there is manipulation or not behind the scenes about this victory but one thing, I can't really believe this news.

The reason why I don't believe in this news is because in my opinion overall gambling is always about hit and miss activities and can never be predicted about the results at the end of the session which means you will only win when you are lucky while on the other hand luck is always unknowable when it comes and when it goes and also it is very difficult to achieve a lucky streak of 14x in a row like this, there is no such thing as an element of consistency in terms of luck, because everything is always about "occasional and coincidence", so I think your suspicion is right.
470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is Legal In Our Country But if You Promote It Online You'll Go To Jail? on: March 27, 2024, 07:43:15 PM
However it is the rules of the country that confuse me, as discussed that the government allows people to gamble in physical casinos but they prohibit people from posting anything that smells of gambling on social media or online, As you said above that when a country legalizes gambling activities, it means that the regulations will apply as a whole in the sense that people are free to gamble anywhere whether it is a physical casino or online and also they should be allowed to post something that smells of gambling on online media, because sometimes there like people who want to publicize the results of their gambling such as big wins as an act of telling others that they are very lucky.

As I said above this is a very confusing rule and I think some people here would agree, and the real law should be as you said which is that if gambling is banned then obviously anyone in the country should not be able to touch, post, publish or discuss gambling or anything gambling related, but if it is legalized then there should be freedom to do anything gambling related, and I think the conclusion is that the government is not strict enough in terms of implementing this rule which should be applied across the board to all places.
Totally confusing on which its legal but not allowed to have those advertisement or posting up winnings? that would be surely be creating that kind of question in mind on why they do really
have those kind of rule or regulation on which its something no sense. How would those companies would really be doing their marketing on this method or kind of ruling?
Totally that hard to market on something having this kind of rules and regulations but well as a citizens or company owners then you wont really be able to do something
because we are really that following on whats mandated and there's nothing we can do about that.

If you dont like to go to jail then follow those rules or laws then you should really be just that fine.  Smiley

Yes this regulation triggers many questions especially from us people who just found out about the existence of such regulations in a country and I'm sure the people there will also initially feel strange when the first time a regulation like this is published, and yes I agree with you that another question is how casino companies can promote their casinos while now is the digital era where 90% of people are more interested in being or active in the world of social media and as we know that in most other countries social media is one of the biggest places for some businesses to showcase and promote their products including gambling promotions.

With this kind of regulation, it seems that the casino industry there only promotes physically or that means not touching the online world which I think the results will not be too optimal because most people in all countries are more active in online media, and yes it is true that in the end there will be nothing they can do there but follow the rules that are enforced and what I worry about is that there will most likely be individuals who accidentally and unknowingly publish something that smells of gambling on online media which makes them have to be punished.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cruel level of addiction, causing harms and still keeping it up on: March 27, 2024, 05:56:30 PM
I think there are many unobvious things that prevent a person from getting rid of gambling addiction. I think one of the main ones is the hope that a person can one day get a series of big wins and get rich from gambling. Until this hope leaves a person, it will play. You know, not all gamers, even experienced ones, want to quit the game. Even if they suffer from losses. In the depths of their souls, there is still hope that someday that happy day will come when good luck will come to them and they will get rich. This forces them to take out loans and continue to drown in a financial swamp.

Yes, it is a reasonable reason, friend, where someone has great hope and confidence that someday they will be able to succeed in getting a very large win and maybe they consider that something they have lost today is a sacrifice to get a much bigger win someday so they continue to maintain themselves to stay involved in gambling despite the fact that it tortures themselves in various aspects of life.

When in fact the concept of gambling is that everything or the odds will return to the starting point when you have finished the session with any result whether it is winning or losing, in the sense that even if for example now you win it does not mean that in the next session you will win again which means that the possibility of losing still has a great chance of happening, and this is why we should bet the amount of money that we can afford to lose because this is useful to make you feel less upset about losing which will certainly be able to make you avoid the act of chasing victory to restore something that has been lost before. So in my opinion the real problem and the mistake that exists in the mind of a gambler who always thinks that someday they will be able to get a big win is that from the beginning of their involvement they do not understand about the real concept of gambling which ultimately makes them gamble in the wrong way, approach, expectations, and beliefs.
472  Other / Off-topic / Re: Does having children have an influence on gambling habits? on: March 27, 2024, 05:31:47 PM
Yes that's right, however depending on how the person is or I mean it all depends on the personality of the person, the situation can be as you said that it is a possibility that after having children or after having a family someone still does not care about something that should be their responsibility and some are normal in the sense that they become more responsible and all of this depends on how the personality is and also how severe the level of their involvement in gambling is.

I think you may have seen or read elsewhere about a father who left his toddler at home alone to go to a casino to gamble, and clearly this is behavior and actions that reflect that he is a family man who is so irresponsible that he would risk the life of his own child just to gamble.
Not all people would really be that responsible in regarding about their actions on which there would really be still those people who would really be sticking into their principles or ideas in mind despite on having
their own family on which it would really be that a common approach that they would really be that sticking on playing gambling or something that they've been getting used to despite on having that new
responsibilities in life. Gambling or putting up focus into that despite on having a family? You are really that just basically putting up your family into such issues when it comes to finances.

We do know that when it comes to gambling then you are really that spending tons of money on which if you do have a family then this is something much needed when it comes to budgeting.
If you are a parent but ended up on cutting those expenses just because you are playing gambling and your family doesnt have that proper way of living when it comes to clothes, food
and other basic needs then you are just that showing on how irrresponsible you are.

I think we can measure or predict whether they will be able to be responsible or not in terms of how or how bad or whether they are responsible gamblers or vice versa, because obviously if you are a responsible gambler in the sense of being able to manage and control your gambling activities properly and according to your abilities then I think the gambling activities that you often do will not really affect the financial situation in your family relationship, But if it's the other way around or if before marriage you were an irresponsible gambler or an addicted gambler then I think this type of gambler will not care about any situation, meaning that the situation with full responsibility after they have a family is unlikely for them to be able to think about reducing their excessive gambling in the sense that they will still gamble in a bad way that will endanger themselves and their families.

Overall and from the few cases that have happened, I would agree with you that most of the time gambling only makes a person experience financial problems in life regardless of whether they are single or married, and however I will not forget the best advice and ideas which is obviously the best decision is to quit and get out of the gambling habit regardless of whether you are a responsible gambler or otherwise, because this is what is best for long-term security.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make your bets when you're tired on: March 27, 2024, 05:03:57 PM
Emotional stress is one of the biggest thing that could actually affect anyone when gamble because you would need every part of your brain to be functional and active when playing and that's why even a simple glitch in the focus of mind can lead to so many errors while gambling and even mistakes so it's better to gamble when refresh and relaxed because you would be thinking straight and not doing crazy things just to get at the winning that might be getting so hard to come.
Gambling when a person is under stress can make it difficult for him to win as well as he will not be able to enjoy the real pleasure of gambling. Generally if we don't think of any source of income from gambling then there is no need for gambling during the time when we are busy with our work. Moreover, when a gambler is too busy or feeling tired, there is no better decision that can later have a major impact on his gambling life. Betting should never be done in a situation where a gambler is not completely mentally exhausted. Since gambling is now deeply associated with financial matters, every gambler should gamble in a completely stress-free environment or else he will never succeed in his goal in gambling.

There is a point, but I think gambling when you are stressed or tired does not mean that it will make it difficult for you to win because the name of luck can happen at any time without you expecting it but maybe a stressful or tired situation can make a person experience mistakes in terms of making decisions that can make the possibility of losing even greater, and yes it is true as you said that if we do not have the goal of earning from gambling then we better not force ourselves to gamble but with their decision to force the situation too much by gambling even though they are in a situation that does not allow it means they come with the intention and purpose to earn.

However, you are giving good advice by telling people not to gamble when they are tired or in a stressful situation due to other things in their life, but sometimes the advice will not apply to gamblers who are already addicted or it means that it is very difficult to give them advice even if it is the best for them.
474  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 27, 2024, 04:22:43 PM

Your advice is very good, we should not force ourselves to pursue something that we are not sure we will get and that will also make things worse in life because we as gamblers should be able to control our emotions well and must accept all forms of events. it happened. we will meet, try to understand it wisely. that losing and winning will definitely happen and being responsible is the key to facing it all.
It's true, sometimes we are unlucky therefore ending gambling can save your money from bigger losses. Emotional control is the main point here, which not everyone can implement. This means that most people are still carried away by the atmosphere of the game, and think that by adding a little more capital they can get back the money they have lost.

Not sometimes but the fact is that it is difficult to get lucky to lead us to victory and in addition the overall profit is only for the casino itself and this is the reason why we lose more often than win and this is also the reason why gambling is really prohibited to be made a place to earn unless you come with only the intention of entertainment or filling spare time because with intentions and goals like this then I think it is less likely for you to overdo it.

Basically if you feel that gambling is interfering with your life especially in terms of your finances then obviously the best decision as you said above is to quit gambling, but if you still want to engage in this activity then yes obviously self-control along with applying some other restrictions such as budget, time, and expectations must be applied because this is the only thing that can keep you safe and avoid bad possibilities in the long run, although I'm not sure that you or anyone else can apply it but no problem, at least we have given the best advice.

Hi community,

When we make a bet and put our money on the line, we may lose money, time, and even some daily tasks that we neglect, and the first goal remains to make a quick profit with the largest possible amount of money, but I do not know why some people consider bets to be more  for fun  and a way to spend time than to win money.

Personally, I would consider it fun when my budget is much greater than my losses or when I gamble with someone else's money, and this is something I would not do if I had no benefit in it.

I think there are those who agree with me and those who do not agree with me, but it remains my personal opinion and it's an opportunity to share it with you on this topic.

So where's the fun when you lose your money?

I think your contradicting your choice of words here,what are you really trying to say here,you saying  you consider gamble as fun when you use someone else's money to gamble.oh you think you don't generate loss when you do so?? Or what are you trying to say  please.
Your thread isn't direct and it needs a lot of straight and vivid explanation.
 
But on the other hand I'll lay my point by saying gambling is set aside for fun,if you choose to loose money while doing so,it's because you do it as regards to the fun you get and with the fact that what you gamble with is something you can afford to loose that at least a 1% of your income or finance.

Yes gambling is fully recommended only to be an entertainment activity when you have quite boring free time, but the idea and purpose of gambling for fun does not mean that we reject or do not want victory because no matter what and regardless of the amount of victory it is a situation that will make us more happy when indeed we manage to achieve luck in one of the gambling sessions that we do, but the difference is that gamblers who come with goals and intentions for entertainment they will not go overboard in pursuit of victory and they will only consider the victory as a bonus or a gift given from luck.

While most other gamblers gamble with the aim and intention of making money which from this alone we can already conclude and ascertain that it is highly unlikely for them not to go overboard or to apply limits and controls on their gambling activities because their aim is to multiply or make money. So of course this is the reason why we are better off making gambling as a means of entertainment, meaning that when you lose then you will not be too emotional because you are not too hopeful about winning and if it turns out that you managed to win then cashing out is a decision that will most likely be made because the purpose of pleasure will be able to prevent you from the aspect of greed.

The mathematician might have used probability and statistics to find patterns in lottery numbers. We all know that lotteries are about luck, but I think, using mathematical is an advantage to try to increase chances of winning. Although we should also understand and remember that there is no foolproof method that winning is guaranteed by using these kind of techniques.

yes it's true that there is an advantage if you get the right calculations and steps to win a lottery but we have no certainty that this will lead you to consistent winnings because I still believe that gambling, specifically in the lottery is more on luck only, no one has been able to prove that there are exact computations on how to win it, and if there is, he will definitely not share it with other people.

Actually whatever type of game you play if it is still related to gambling or something that is a betting activity then still in the end the result at the end of the session is always about uncertainty, or what it means is that you will never know about what will happen at the end of the session between winning or losing even if for example as you say here that you have managed to get the right calculation, and I would say that you can't actually say that your calculations are correct because the outcome at the end of the session is still unanswered which means that it is still very possible for you to end the session with a loss and means that something that you think is correct is nothing more than just your initial feelings.

In the end, according to what you believe, yes it is true, however and any type of gambling in the end will still refer to luck that will ensure whether we will actually be able to win or not, no matter how skilled you are in analyzing or calculating, the overall possibility of losing will always be a sure thing.
477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is Legal In Our Country But if You Promote It Online You'll Go To Jail? on: March 26, 2024, 07:58:27 PM
the thing is that each country have their own rules and regulation concerning gambling and if you fail to obey the rules and the regulation of that country you'll be having issues I know quite well that most of the gambling platform always pay tax to the country that legalized them but some country who does not accept gambling I'm the song gambling platforms operate there it is based on the gambling are doing their things on secret so that is one thing I will say so, nothing is that there's nothing a country can do someone who is addicted in gambling can skip gambling any day or any content time we have to know that that whoever that is addicted in gambling you cannot stop the person to gamble
It's a different thing if a country doesn't allow gambling at all and some platforms still operate within that jurisdiction, but if a country has legalized gambling, which means you are allowed to gamble and casinos are allowed to operate, why the hell would one go to jail if they have posted something or discussed gambling somewhere online? That doesn't sound like a normal law.

A normal law is that gambling is banned or illegal in a country and then anyone who is seen getting engaged with gambling or even posting or discussing it is doing a punishable offense, but somewhere where gambling is legal, people should be allowed to post or discuss about it anywhere they want.

However it is the rules of the country that confuse me, as discussed that the government allows people to gamble in physical casinos but they prohibit people from posting anything that smells of gambling on social media or online, As you said above that when a country legalizes gambling activities, it means that the regulations will apply as a whole in the sense that people are free to gamble anywhere whether it is a physical casino or online and also they should be allowed to post something that smells of gambling on online media, because sometimes there like people who want to publicize the results of their gambling such as big wins as an act of telling others that they are very lucky.

As I said above this is a very confusing rule and I think some people here would agree, and the real law should be as you said which is that if gambling is banned then obviously anyone in the country should not be able to touch, post, publish or discuss gambling or anything gambling related, but if it is legalized then there should be freedom to do anything gambling related, and I think the conclusion is that the government is not strict enough in terms of implementing this rule which should be applied across the board to all places.

"Enhanced analytics" and similar things are simply ways to make money by selling those stats, but in reality you can't make money by gambling with that information.

At the end of the day the odds are a given, and the more possible an outcome, the less the casinos will pay.

That's simply the reality.
Yes, I also don't want to place a bet using analysis produced by other people and it would be better when placing a bet to analyze myself about the team I am going to place a bet on, because by analyzing it yourself of course you will be able to enjoy the win or loss from the results we get. own analysis and not based on other people's analysis.
I agree with what you are trying to describe, when the chance of winning is certain of course there is little chance that the casino will pay it out.

It is true and indeed something that is more advisable which is better to gamble by using our own way and not rely on other people or AI-like systems, however gambling will still be an activity that can never be predicted accurately no matter how skilled you are which means that if the time is lost then yes you will lose or vice versa. And in addition for me gambling is a matter of luck which means when you are lucky then you will win, regardless of where you gamble even if you bet in the type of sports betting that does require skill to increase the possibility of victory but still ultimately will refer to luck because sometimes we often find some unexpected events on the field that make the situation turn around which there is a great possibility for your favorite team to end up losing.

On the other hand, of course, by gambling using our own way, we will really be able to enjoy the process whatever the results at the end of the session we do about winning or losing, so I think betting using other people's methods or depending on other people will not be completely influential.

The mind of addictive gamblers totally changed after a consecutive losses then they don't think about anyone and continuously gamble just to get back their lost sum but it is not easy in gambling like every gambler thinks. I don't think that gambler will ever try to reduce their gambling habits because they have learned that more they gambler more they will earn which is totally a wrong concept.

Gamblers do not understand with sweet words of their family and if someone's parents teach gambler to stop gambling then it is not possible for him to alter this behavior because gambler thoughts are limited to earning only as well as Love cannot change the thoughts of gamblers.

True, what you mentioned is one of the facts about the actions taken by addicted gamblers where they will not think of ways to stop especially when winning because one of the hardest things for them is to stop when they are in a losing situation which is because they have no ability at all to accept the fact of the consequences of gambling. They think that the idea and action of chasing that win will get them in a recovery situation when the fact remains that when you have ended the previous session with a loss or a win then the next session is likely to change the outcome which means that there is a high chance for you to lose again if you continue gambling with the intention and purpose of recovering something that you have lost.

I think it is a fact that it is very unlikely for them to really listen to the advice of others, whoever you are even if for example you are one of their family still they will not listen to any advice because addicted gamblers have a high ambition to pursue something that has been lost based on emotions and unreasonable beliefs.

In fact, it's not all that clear-cut. There are some gamblers who did not become wiser or more responsible after children appeared in their family. There are quite a few stories when the head of the family, addicted to gambling, left his children, who can not take care of themselves, alone at home, and disappeared into the casino for several hours.  Therefore, having children makes someone wiser and more responsible, and someone does not, and rather everything depends on the person himself, not on the fact of having children in the family.

Yes that's right, however depending on how the person is or I mean it all depends on the personality of the person, the situation can be as you said that it is a possibility that after having children or after having a family someone still does not care about something that should be their responsibility and some are normal in the sense that they become more responsible and all of this depends on how the personality is and also how severe the level of their involvement in gambling is.

I think you may have seen or read elsewhere about a father who left his toddler at home alone to go to a casino to gamble, and clearly this is behavior and actions that reflect that he is a family man who is so irresponsible that he would risk the life of his own child just to gamble.
