or what this means is that it doesn't mean you can always win in Every time you have a gambling session, it doesn't mean that you will always lose every time you have a session, that is a chance activity that occurs randomly in determining the results.

That's why I say that when we try to do things Differently we have to be very Focused on doing things in the best way possible. Personally, I always recommend that whatever you want, you do my strategy, and it's simple, every time you go to play, it's a different game session. That is, if I played yesterday and lost, and I want to play today, well, I shouldn't think that I lost yesterday, today is a different story. It's like soccer, every Soccer game, every Match is a different Story , where you can win , that's my thought.

I understand what you mean, the meaning and conclusion is that in gambling the next result does not depend on how the results were in the previous session, there is no connection whatsoever because this is a probability activity that does not depend on how skilled you are, so you can never know and ensure the results that will occur in your latest session. I agree with that and that is the fact in gambling, therefore of course this is the reason why greed is an action that is prohibited, because it does not mean you will continue to win. But strangely, often a gambler always feels that a much bigger win is close to them, even though they never know whether luck is still holding out at that time or not, and one of the reasons why someone ends up losing again when they apply greed is because luck is gone.

I know that as gamblers, everyone can relate to this question, as we have surely experienced it in real situations.

Suppose our bankroll is $100 and it has already grown to $500, would you quit or continue? Conversely, if with our bankroll, we are down to $10, would you still continue or save the remaining $10? I used specific amounts to make it easier to discuss this situation. I understand that we all gamble with different amounts based on our income, but consider this as an example. You can mention any amount you want based on your personal experience; it doesn't matter.

I'll stick with the specific amount you use and would try to be straight forward on this. I know a lot of people will want to say it's easier to walk away when you are in streaks of win which theoretical it's does sound simple to do but in the practical under a real life experience it takes a lot of determination and discipline to do that than it does with walking away when you're at loss from a $100 to $10. Seeing that we're having sessions of wins we will want to get more not until when those wins stop and revert to losses with each session that's when thought about stopping starts ringing. Because losing has a different way of hitting us than when we're in win. It's like it takes our brain back to a reset factory mode Shocked

Greed will always be something that is difficult to ignore for the majority of gamblers, especially those who are addicted, I understand what you are saying, that practicing is much more difficult than saying and as you said, usually when they are in a winning situation, the majority of people will prefer to continue the game in order to get bigger amounts, that's true but I think we also shouldn't forget that there is still a minority of gamblers who always feel enough with what they already get. What this means is that if you are a gambler who does not have an excessive interest in winning then yes you will be able to easily stop in winning situations and ignore greed, and in fact in losing situations it is the same, provided that if they understand and realize that winning comes from luck and after that the possibility of defeat will continue to lurk, so in terms of stopping when you win or stopping when you lose it will be an easy action if a gambler does not have the intention and goal to make a profit.

Talking about dopamine, does it mean that gambling wouldn't increase dopamine if money wasn't involved?Although the point of gambling would be worthless for not having any reward. Viewing the game as a means of earning or losing money is quite the natural appearance of gambling. And people can't forget it easily. That's why most players always think they'll lose money in gambling. This only makes them want to lose more, because they'll hardly stop a session after experiencing multiple losses. The current form of online gambling can slow down the understanding of gambling for an individual new player. We easily learn from associating with people on same boat with us. Playing all alone makes a player to have limited amount of knowledge or understanding of how gambling work.


But so far gambling is more often used as a choice when they have money to gamble, I understand that someone can still feel entertainment even if for example they don't win, but the opportunity to win in gambling is an additional point to be able to further increase the sensation and dopamine levels in the brain. In fact, as long as you or anyone else is able to treat gambling well based on correct understanding and without exceeding your limits then it won't be a problem, because so far the majority of cases of people who have lost significant amounts of money are those who don't understand. and realize that there is a much greater risk.

Gambling would have been nothing more than a game for kids if money wasn't attached. But, we all thought the entertainment was from the game, but this time money makes gambling entertaining. Despite how simple the slot game is, adults enjoy playing it because of money. People actually get stressed whenever money is involved. That's the thoughts of humans on money.

Players a times get those dopamine in form of a reward for sticking around in a machine for a while. And they are happy for it. More like completing a mission in a video game. I don't think of the type of entertaining trills that could match winning a game. But, players who gamble with friends actually stay entertained even when they've not won.

That's right, and I'm sure that gambling wouldn't be as popular as it is now if there was no money involved in it in the first place, meaning it's quite reasonable to say that one of the things that makes people feel more attracted to gambling is because there is money involved. , even though in fact in gambling everyone has the possibility of losing apart from the chance of winning, but if we talk about money then usually people will focus more on the idea of ​​"chances of winning", and this is what makes gamblers fall into the trap and get carried away completely. unconscious until finally addicted.

They like making money but of course everyone doesn't like losing money, and after all gambling is not only an activity that can give you money for free but can also lose you any amount of money in a short time, and this is why we You really need to have a realistic and neutral point of view, because by having a neutral understanding, I think it is less likely for them to be manipulated by their own expectations. Money is everything, and increasing dopamine levels in the brain is something that happens when someone succeeds in realizing their hopes such as winning, but however that only happens when we are lucky. On the other hand, gambling with friends can be more entertaining, even if they lose maybe it won't hurt too much, but winning in a really exciting situation can be more exhilarating.
804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY on: July 02, 2024, 06:27:43 PM
responsible gambling is something that gamblers need to do so that they can reduce the negative impact of gambling. by practicing this, gamblers can reduce financial disruption and emotional impacts from excessive gambling, and it will directly save their lives from being destroyed by gambling. when a gambler understands this, then they can gamble more controlled and regulated and they don't need to worry that gambling can interfere with their lives, instead it becomes a fun activity and does not have a negative impact on their lives. this is an important thing and a gambler should not forget this.

Yes, that is the reason why every gambler is advised to have good responsibility, in the sense that with this ability they will be able to avoid various more significant bad possibilities. As we know, gambling is a game of luck, meaning that no one will ever know the outcome unless they have completed the session, and by having good responsibility you will be able to make peace with any situation that will occur at the end of the session, especially defeat.

Because in most cases, gamblers usually fall deeper into a deeper abyss when they are unable to take responsibility for all the decisions they have taken, especially when it turns out they lost at the end of the session, which is usually a situation that will make them emotional and chase losses that are actually indirectly will lead them to a worse disaster. The benefit, as you said, is that by having good responsibility it can save us from financial problems in life due to gambling, and I would say that to be a responsible gambler you must first justify your budget allocation every time you bet, in meaning try to only risk a small amount that you are prepared to lose.
805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The benefits of Gambling on: July 02, 2024, 06:07:54 PM

On the other hand, I hope you can explain in more detail about what benefits we can get from gambling, and what achievements we can get from this activity so that this discussion becomes more direct, or so that we can measure whether it makes sense or not. Accomplished a lot? I think not too much, especially in terms of finances, in the sense that there is no achievement of financial success in gambling because what happens is the opposite, instead of making money but the fact is that people end up running out of more money as time goes by especially when they have wrong approach.

Talking about the benefits of gambling, yes, maybe there are several things that we can get, such as making lots of new friends, especially when we gamble in physical casinos, getting entertainment when we have boring free time, and I think there is nothing more besides just those two, while the rest is the negative side. Overall as we know that the percentage of wins is much smaller than losses, it is natural because gambling is a business for casinos, and that is the reason why the negative impacts in gambling are much greater than the rewards.
We cannot avoid the negative side of gambling, there are many risks to be faced if we talk about gambling as you mentioned the negative side tends to be higher than the positive side, we have to see where we are if we talk about the negative or positive side of gambling, as a user I agree that there are many negative sides and risks that come from gambling compared to the positive side, as we know and many cases occur that gambling damages the finances of irresponsible gamblers. To the point of depression

On the other hand, as a company or owner who establishes his business in the field of gambling, we cannot close our eyes that gambling can open up job vacancies for other people who work there, to support their families or themselves. be it land-based casinos or online casinos.

This should return to each of us, as users or gamblers we must be wiser in gambling, whether we are able to control ourselves so as not to fall too far in our gambling, here the importance of self-control so that we become responsible gamblers and can bear any risks that we have to take from our gambling.

Yes, of course, however and whenever we are involved in these activities, various bad possibilities will always lurk us. We can see the impact experienced by gamblers who are addicted, and I think that is normal because after all, when someone is chasing victory or prioritize the idea of ​​"earning" in gambling then that is what they will experience, the reason is obvious because the percentage of wins is much smaller compared to losses. This means that I would say that success in gambling is when someone is able to control their gambling activities well in the sense of not exceeding their limits, and not those who get big wins, because that is something that is most likely only temporary when they cannot manage and control it.

I think the bad effects experienced by addicted gamblers are a natural thing, and their biggest mistake is trying to achieve something big in a place where it is not possible, they don't think rationally that after all no significant results will be produced by little effort, therefore gambling is called an activity of luck.

On the other hand, gambling is a casino business, and such a business will always prioritize various ways to maximize profits, such as carrying out large-scale promotions, meaning they need people to be employed there in any department, whether as admin, marketing or maybe the one who set up the game system. Forget about that, the point is that overall gambling is a negative activity, but if we are able to control it according to our abilities by prioritizing various preventive measures then we will also be able to avoid significant impacts.
806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set a specific bankroll before gambling or not? on: July 01, 2024, 03:01:03 PM

Timing is also crucial at my end. How to schedule my time to sustain the amount of money about to be spent in gambling. Whenever wins shows up it could be added to the remaining bankroll to be used for gambling until the designated time for gambling is over.
The benefit of scheduling bankroll is for it to serve as an alert to the gambler. If the money gets exhausted the player would remind himself of his plans before starting that game on limiting his expenses. Even when he boycotts the self plan, he would forget it easily. Soon he'd stop and try again later.

Yeah, you are right, @Accardo; time is important too, while it might be neglected by so many gamblers. Sometimes someone can actually set out to gamble with $10, and if luck is on their side, they can multiply their balance by 10x, but if they don't set a time that they must stop gambling, they can still end up losing the amount they won, so timing is also important, and I think it's necessary to also note the amount of profit that a gambler must archive before leaving. For example, if I allocate $20 for my daily gambling plan and decide that I will spend three hours and that if I make up to $100 or $200 within 3 hours, I will just take a break, Such plans are going to help me stop gambling immediately i win up to $100, even when my set time is not up yet.

That is completely true, it means that in gambling winning is not the end of everything, or it means that there are still other results that can happen at that time after you have won and as long as you have not withdrawn the winning amount for some reason, such as still wanting to gamble, in the sense of losing. will always be a sure thing even if at first you manage to win. In gambling, of course, limiting time is also an important thing that must be prepared by gamblers apart from limiting the amount of the budget, because you have also said that even if, for example, they manage to win, if they do not set a time limit then in the end it is very possible for them to to experience defeat again.

You gave a good example, and maybe I will also suggest a strategy that is no less good which leads to the prevention aspect, such as when you succeed in winning and it turns out you still haven't reached the target time limit that has been set, then I would suggest that you first secure part of the winnings and leave the other part to continue the gambling session if you haven't reached your time limit, even if in the next session for example you lose but still you have secured some of the previous money, so you are still safe and I think this is almost the same as the plan You.
807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this true or some superstitious believe about gambling? on: July 01, 2024, 02:38:57 PM
I am sure that the person who is trying to thwart the gambling session that you want to do is someone who has really experienced the bad effects of gambling where it is very likely that the person has lost large amounts of money and in the end he knows that gambling is an activity that is manipulated by Casino bookies always favor the house, and I think that's right, because as we know, overall the percentage of losses is much greater than wins, or gamblers experience losses much more often than wins.

In the end, what this person did may have disrupted your gambling activities at that time, but I hope you can consider the advice he has given you, considering that the house is the real winner which can indirectly make you more aware of the the bad effects of gambling. But if you are a responsible gambler in the sense of being able to control your gambling activities according to your abilities then there is nothing wrong with that, you just have to maintain everything well and try not to fall for anything that looks tempting at first.
Almost all of us in this community know about the negative and positive aspects of gambling. We enjoy gambling. If someone gives me a suggestion about gambling I accept it but I feel that it is not a source of income for me and I am not dependent on gambling in any way. Which is why any advice on gambling can't get me off my track. There are many gamblers who lose a lot of money in gambling and when they lose everything they can give advice to others. Maybe they are good advice but definitely for addicted gamblers or gamblers who can't control themselves. I can control myself because I like to do what I know best. I will agree with you that a casino will definitely make a profit from the casino and a gambler's loss will be more than his win. If a gambler continues to gamble despite knowing this fact, it is entirely on his own. Moreover, it is not the case that everyone is gambling only for earning.

Yes, almost everyone here has a balanced understanding regarding the positive and negative sides of gambling, but not the people out there where the majority of them are still more focused on the chances of winning in gambling which can indirectly have a negative impact. in gambling. But from what you said about your approach to gambling then yes maybe I would say that you have a good approach, because you can still control everything and not let your mind be carried away by the idea of ​​"earning" as is often carried by gamblers who is addicted.

And actually, when we have a correct understanding of what and how gambling actually is, even if, for example, people try to influence us to fall into it, we will never follow them because we already know that what they suggest is not good and can lead us to many disaster. It's not uncommon for us to find people who always advise us to stop gambling, and not without reason, they suggest this because they have experienced it and felt the bad effects, therefore, as I said before, it doesn't matter if someone If someone else gives us advice or advice, consider it wisely, because maybe you need that advice.
808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: July 01, 2024, 01:52:42 PM

Yes, I agree with that, and I would also say that an activity that is a matter of chance means that there is no element of consistency whatsoever in terms of earning, not only in terms of winnings but also including losses, or what this means is that it doesn't mean you can always win in Every time you have a gambling session, it doesn't mean that you will always lose every time you have a session, that is a chance activity that occurs randomly in determining the results.

Therefore, it makes sense, as you said, that we must really be able to make the best of the situation and conditions, in the sense that if we succeed in achieving victory, even though for example the victory is relatively small, we still have to be satisfied with the result, because basically we won. It's always much better than losing all your money due to defeat. And maybe I would say that greedy people are those who bring the wrong mindset to the wrong place.

Exactly that's the system of gambling either one win or lose , but is not everything will be winning or Losing. But when one is gambling wisely it normally reduce the chances of one making more losses or losses above their budget . Just as you Said is better to win a little than to lose big when trying to win big. And the greater the chances you making huge profits or win the higher the risk so we should always focus on how to manage those risks .

Of course, this means that in gambling what must be prioritized is risk management and not the desire to get a big win, because as you said simply, it is clear that the higher our desire to win, the greater the level of risk we face. , and usually people who always prioritize themselves in pursuing big wins are those who don't have good personal responsibility, in the sense that they only want to win but when they experience defeat they get emotional, losers, right? clear, and it is a mindset that as time goes by will only cause them to experience greater and greater amounts of loss.

Therefore, in gambling, correct understanding is something that gamblers must have, in the sense of understanding that they can win but also realizing that they can lose large amounts of money, and with this awareness they will be able to measure their abilities. yourself in the sense of making decisions that do not exceed the limits of one's abilities.
809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is easier, to quit when winning or to quit when losing? on: July 01, 2024, 01:30:07 PM
Yes that kind of makes sense, it's impossible for someone to continue gambling if they run out of money or if they no longer have any money, while we know that the requirement to be able to engage in gambling is to risk money. And it is very likely that this situation will be faced when someone is really far from luck. On the other hand, if someone manages to win because luck comes at the right time, then yes, they have the opportunity to continue compared to other people who run out of money at the start of their gambling session.

 On the other hand, everyone can be lucky and can win any amount, but it is a fact that not all of them can really make good use of their lucky situation by withdrawing at the right time and securing the amount they have won by cashing out, This means that it is very likely that cashing out at the right time will only be done by gamblers who do not make the goal of "earning" their main priority.
Literally on which you would really be stopping on playing gambling if you dont have any money to bet on, on which it would really be that something understandable on this case and this is something that would really be that normal but on the moment that you do still have money but you have that lost all of your bankroll on that moment and if you are someone who dont have that good self control then you would really be that definitely be continuing on playing specially on the moment that you would really be choosing up on chasing your loses on which this is really that pretty common for most gamblers and this is the main reason on why they do really end
up on having that miserable life or experiencing unfortunate conditions just because they did make out some nasty mistakes on spending like a mad man.

Quitting when you are on a winning condition or situation? that would really be tough and this is something that you shouldnt really be that making have doubts on doing so because
securing profits or wins and making those stops and breaks would really be recognized for you to be a real winner on that particular point since you do really know on what you are doing
and on what you are dealing with.

There is nothing else that can make a person stop gambling other than running out of money at that time, at first glance it makes sense, but for a gambler who for example is already quite addicted then actually that is not the end of his gambling session at that time, as we know that they always think and create various ways to get money right away with the aim of chasing losses as you have said above, and usually so far what has always been used as an alternative is loans. The people closest to them will usually be the main targets when they are in this situation, usually they will try to contact some of the people closest to them and borrow money for quite sad reasons (lying) so that the lender will feel sorry.

On the other hand, from what I read about your opinion, I am sure that you are directing your ideas at people who are addicted, or you are telling about the habits that addicted gamblers always do when they are in a winning or losing situation. And speaking of when a gambler who is already addicted manages to win, then yes it is a really difficult situation for them to withdraw from, there will be lots of things that look tempting that will continue to tempt them at that time, they will assume that if they continue the game then they will succeed in getting a much bigger win, meaning that even if you manage to win, it is not a real win if you haven't cashed it in, greed will continue to tempt you, and greed will always be something that is difficult to ignore, especially if you are already addicted enough.
810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling bad to the society? on: July 01, 2024, 01:11:20 PM

And maybe I will say that one of the reasons why gamblers don't think in that direction or in the analogy that you have conveyed above is because the object of winning in gambling is "money", and everyone can never lie that they always need it. and want money, meaning that because of the object of winning this is why the majority of gamblers ignore the negative side of gambling. And also I think if gambling only has the possibility of losing without providing a chance of winning then I think no one will ever want to gamble.

Talking about dopamine, does it mean that gambling wouldn't increase dopamine if money wasn't involved?Although the point of gambling would be worthless for not having any reward. Viewing the game as a means of earning or losing money is quite the natural appearance of gambling. And people can't forget it easily. That's why most players always think they'll lose money in gambling. This only makes them want to lose more, because they'll hardly stop a session after experiencing multiple losses. The current form of online gambling can slow down the understanding of gambling for an individual new player. We easily learn from associating with people on same boat with us. Playing all alone makes a player to have limited amount of knowledge or understanding of how gambling work.

In my opinion, it is clear that it is because of the presence of money that makes a person experience increased levels of dopamine in the brain, the various sensations that are evoked in each spin are because the spin looks very good in the sense of having the potential to be profitable so that gamblers feel very happy (even though anything is still possible) . We can't lie that money is everything, and if someone only wants entertainment without any money behind winning then I think gambling will not be an option, because there are many other options that can also provide entertainment without involving risk.

But so far gambling is more often used as a choice when they have money to gamble, I understand that someone can still feel entertainment even if for example they don't win, but the opportunity to win in gambling is an additional point to be able to further increase the sensation and dopamine levels in the brain. In fact, as long as you or anyone else is able to treat gambling well based on correct understanding and without exceeding your limits then it won't be a problem, because so far the majority of cases of people who have lost significant amounts of money are those who don't understand. and realize that there is a much greater risk.
811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY on: July 01, 2024, 12:47:55 PM
There is nothing like wasting money when trying your luck to make money in gambling. This is a trial and one need to accept the outcome. What if the outcome always keep becoming positive and profitable? Sometimes, this may let us see such casino where we have been using as a s generous casino that do allow us to win with high luck compared to other casinos we don't always make profits. Life can be funny sometimes and we see things or judge things based on our own perception without any care about what other things. Gambling is a game of luck and anytime we are lucky, we need to be happy and keep trying.

Yea, that's your opinion, and I really respect it, bro, but arguably, there is indeed something like wasting money in gambling, judging by some other factors such as gambling with money that was intended for other quality projects, gambling with money intended for family use, or spending on gambling the money that was not meant to be used to catch fun at that moment. I have an example to set, so read, there was a thread created some months ago, the OP said he needed money to pay for some medical treatment and the amount of Bitcoin he had on him was not going to be enough for the medical treatment, so he decided to gamble with the money he already had on him so that he could multiply it and have enough to cover the medical bills. Although he didn't tell us how his bet ended, if actually he staked with the little money he had and perhaps lost it in gambling while he even needed more, I see that as a total waste of money and not a smart move. So, in my opinion, some gamblers waste the money they are not supposed to on gambling. There's no way a gambler can always be profitable and make positive result all the time.

It depends on a person's perspective in dealing with gambling, some say that gambling is the same as wasting money as you said, and I think it depends on the situation too, if basically they are gambling with the amount of money that should be used. for other important things in their life then yes of course it can be said to be a waste of money, for their mindset or approach it is wrong but for the problem of the results at the end of the session it also depends on whether they are lucky or not, because if the results turn out to be win then they don't waste money, or what I mean by the context of wasting money also depends on how the results are at the end of the session.

And from what you gave the example above about someone trying to make money in gambling to meet medical expenses, actually his aim was right but he put his intentions in the wrong place because it was too risky, but fortunately he was able to cover all the medical expenses in time. he was really lucky, but however that was a bad example because it was clear that the possibility of defeat would always lurk at any time which of course could make the situation worse.
812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The benefits of Gambling on: July 01, 2024, 12:12:36 PM
We always criticize the negative aspects of gambling but there are also some positive aspects that we must accept. If one does not look for these aspects with his positive vision, then he may not be able to find those good aspects. I can easily relate to some of the things you mentioned.

Truly we cannot completely forgotten about the good side of gambling because alot of people have accomplished alot through gambling, though I wouldn't blame those that always focused on the bitter side of it because one thing in life is that you will always talk or judge things based on the experience you have gotten from it, so perhaps that's why we shouldn't blame someone that always sees negativity on gambling because he or she has gone through in the hands of gambling, however it is very obvious that is not everybody that would be favoured by gambling which is why gambling is like a financial breakthrough for most people while for some persons are lost of money.

On the other hand, I hope you can explain in more detail about what benefits we can get from gambling, and what achievements we can get from this activity so that this discussion becomes more direct, or so that we can measure whether it makes sense or not. Accomplished a lot? I think not too much, especially in terms of finances, in the sense that there is no achievement of financial success in gambling because what happens is the opposite, instead of making money but the fact is that people end up running out of more money as time goes by especially when they have wrong approach.

Talking about the benefits of gambling, yes, maybe there are several things that we can get, such as making lots of new friends, especially when we gamble in physical casinos, getting entertainment when we have boring free time, and I think there is nothing more besides just those two, while the rest is the negative side. Overall as we know that the percentage of wins is much smaller than losses, it is natural because gambling is a business for casinos, and that is the reason why the negative impacts in gambling are much greater than the rewards.
813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: June 30, 2024, 08:32:48 PM
The game of gambling isn't something that people with low patience can survive be it the different types of gambling @sports betting  @casino games like dice and slots, patience is still the key to survive. Sometimes anxiousness and anxiety can make a gambler take decision that he might end up regretting.

Today I experience this ill feeling although am okay now but I thought I should share my experience and thought with some of the gamblers here to see if we are on the same page.

I made a very wrong decision on a game I staked today and this is unlike me because I don't normally check on my games until its settled because sometimes you will tempted with some crazy things like cash-out which is what I did today and although you won't blame me to some extent but still if I was patient enough as the final results if the games came through and Instead of winning the whole money, I got only a fraction of the funds.

Patience in general is an important tool to master throughout life, it's also necessary to know when it is appropriate or not. If you're playing an unskilled game like slots, it doesn't matter how much patience you've got - you're on an inevitable decline to losing all your money over the lifetime of the account, if you accept that fact it is still possible to have a bit of fun. If you think you can gain any sort of advantage by being patient against a random number generator that is statistically stacked against you, then you need to go back to school and learn the basics of math. Patience can come into sports betting if you think it's possible that the bookmakers sometimes misprice the odds and you are waiting to strike when they do.

Winning in gambling is nothing more than a chance, meaning there is no certainty for you or anyone to always end the session with a win, while on the other hand, defeat will always be a part that can never be separated. This means that although I understand that patience can help, it helps so that you don't lose larger amounts of money, and that doesn't mean that by applying patience you won't lose anything, and that's why I say that the possibility of losing will always be a part that cannot be avoided. in tolerance in gambling.

And also I would say that winning doesn't really depend on how patient you are in running the session, winning depends on luck, especially when talking about random types of gambling like slot machines, and as I said above the point is that patience does help, but only helps you to minimize the possibility of significant losses and does not mean ensuring that you will not lose at all.

That's right, money can only be considered received at the moment when it is in your wallet. If you won a certain amount but then lost it, then it is obvious that in fact it was not won in the end. All the money on the balance in the casino is play money (one might say virtual) until you withdraw it for yourself. By the way, I use a similar approach for trading in games, sometimes I buy/sell things that cost 100-400 dollars (significant money for me) and so that trading occurs with less emotional stress, I consider these assets/money purely virtual until they ended up in my wallet.
A very factual concept you have put up here, until it's in your wallet for real, you cannot presume the money to be  yours totally until you have made it tangible, I me in your wallet or in the form where you can directly spend it for any commodity you are making purchase on at the moment. Most times some gamblers fail to think this way and literally end up loosing all of their funds to the casinos again reason been that they haven't withdrawn the funds back to their wallet so it's still in their gambling wallet making it was for them to just stake in any game but if it were to be in their main wallet the stress of funding would have prevented them from making stakes on certain games.

Yes, we agree that a real win in gambling is when the winning amount is in real form, or in the sense that it is physically visible in your wallet and you can spend it on whatever you want. However, it is not uncommon for gamblers to say the following by bragging to other people, especially some of their friends, that they managed to achieve a big win, even though the win is still in the form of a balance in their betting account, meaning that there is still a lot of possibility for them to end up going home without taking anything.

And also usually this is where gamblers are tempted by greed, and I have also experienced several times that when I managed to achieve a big win by successfully getting an addition to the total balance I had then at that time various temptations came and whispered in my mind to continue and doubling the bet becomes bigger, and if you get caught up in things like that then you will most likely lose all the money you previously got, which often happens.
815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set a specific bankroll before gambling or not? on: June 30, 2024, 07:20:44 PM

I prefer having a bankroll for my gambling activities, so that I don't spend more than a specific amount for my gambling activities. Sometimes when I am less busy, I gamble more than when I am busy. I can use my bankroll of a week in just two days and I will quit gambling for that week.

Sometimes, I don't gamble at all because I have being busy with work, and my bankroll will be like that till when I gamble again. However, a gambler can abduct any style that suits his gambling life but the most important thing is that we don't get addicted and run at big loss.

You have great control, and I'm impressed by that. As for me, even though I'm busy, I always find a way to gamble. Since I bet on sports, it doesn't consume a lot of time, but sometimes if I feel emotional, it can really affect my job. Even just watching the box score can bother me because, with the size of the bet, I often feel mixed emotions. The amount of money we risk can really affect our emotions. When I bet $5 to $10, I can easily let go if I lose and not mind it much. However, if it's a bigger amount, I'll try everything to recover those losses, even though I always follow my limit.

There are several things that you can immediately correct in your approach to gambling, friend, the first of which may be in terms of time, wherever you gamble and in any type of gambling, including sports, if basically you are busy with other things or activities in your life, such as work, so it's better to focus on activities that are much more important, meaning that time management and the ability to divide your time according to portions is really needed if you don't want your activities to be disturbed.

The second is that yes, it is clear that you are already aware that the amount of your bet is relatively large each time you run a session, you can immediately change it, and I think it will not be too difficult to make this change if you are really aware of the error. As you said, by only risking a small amount you will be able to easily let go of all the losses you experience, meaning that is indeed the best. Gambling is a chance activity, don't overdo it because there is no certainty that you will always win.

I am sure that the person who is trying to thwart the gambling session that you want to do is someone who has really experienced the bad effects of gambling where it is very likely that the person has lost large amounts of money and in the end he knows that gambling is an activity that is manipulated by Casino bookies always favor the house, and I think that's right, because as we know, overall the percentage of losses is much greater than wins, or gamblers experience losses much more often than wins.

In the end, what this person did may have disrupted your gambling activities at that time, but I hope you can consider the advice he has given you, considering that the house is the real winner which can indirectly make you more aware of the the bad effects of gambling. But if you are a responsible gambler in the sense of being able to control your gambling activities according to your abilities then there is nothing wrong with that, you just have to maintain everything well and try not to fall for anything that looks tempting at first.

<SNIP>
You're right and it's a fact that things are like this, because basically things when they are games of chance it is always difficult to stay in the positive or be consistent, I really see the only way that it can get close to being profitable is that each day you settle for small profits, even if they are very small, one must settle, because this is like business , little by little you fill the bag, without us we start to play with greed ahead, it's not that it's completely bad to want to make money, but it's not advisable, I know that there are days when you Win, others when you lose, but if you lose it's little , if you win and let's suppose that you win 4 days and lose 2 p, then it's already positive.


Yes, I agree with that, and I would also say that an activity that is a matter of chance means that there is no element of consistency whatsoever in terms of earning, not only in terms of winnings but also including losses, or what this means is that it doesn't mean you can always win in Every time you have a gambling session, it doesn't mean that you will always lose every time you have a session, that is a chance activity that occurs randomly in determining the results.

Therefore, it makes sense, as you said, that we must really be able to make the best of the situation and conditions, in the sense that if we succeed in achieving victory, even though for example the victory is relatively small, we still have to be satisfied with the result, because basically we won. It's always much better than losing all your money due to defeat. And maybe I would say that greedy people are those who bring the wrong mindset to the wrong place.
818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is easier, to quit when winning or to quit when losing? on: June 30, 2024, 05:46:13 PM
Of course it is easier to stop when losing. First of all, it will be impossible to continue when you dont have money. When a person looses biggest part of his deposit, something might switch in his head and he will want to save what is left. When person wins, greed pushes him to continue. When person is winning, he becomes less and less limited with funds, and that opens in front of him opportunities to continue.

Yes that kind of makes sense, it's impossible for someone to continue gambling if they run out of money or if they no longer have any money, while we know that the requirement to be able to engage in gambling is to risk money. And it is very likely that this situation will be faced when someone is really far from luck. On the other hand, if someone manages to win because luck comes at the right time, then yes, they have the opportunity to continue compared to other people who run out of money at the start of their gambling session.

 On the other hand, everyone can be lucky and can win any amount, but it is a fact that not all of them can really make good use of their lucky situation by withdrawing at the right time and securing the amount they have won by cashing out, This means that it is very likely that cashing out at the right time will only be done by gamblers who do not make the goal of "earning" their main priority.
819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling bad to the society? on: June 30, 2024, 05:21:21 PM
Better say it that reckless, greedy and stupid people are bad for society. Calling whole gambling industry bad only when some individuals cant handle money properly is nonsense. People consider gambling bad, because people lose money on it. Then turns out that money is bad too? People say that "Wealth is evil for fools". People should stop look on gambling only from "losing money point of view" and they then will have a better understanding of gambling.
Your opinion is correct, that indeed should not look at gambling from the point of view of losing money, only greedy and irresponsible fools will kill themselves at gambling, if you think carefully gambling offers entertainment, and entertainment wherever it is is a place to waste money, like we are on vacation at the beach of course we need money to spend if we go to the beach, why not have that thought right? it's just that some stupid people make gambling a place to make money not a place to find pleasure.

You give a pretty good analogy in this regard, and yes I admit that treating gambling as a place to lose money can be useful in generating various forms of caution and vigilance. Gambling is a game to increase dopamine levels in the brain so that it can cause an exciting sensation, and yes gambling can be interpreted as a form of entertainment activity where as you have said, in the context of entertainment then yes it is a situation for us to waste - waste money, but awareness must still be maintained, lest we spend too much money at one time on something that is not very important, meaning there must be limits.

And maybe I will say that one of the reasons why gamblers don't think in that direction or in the analogy that you have conveyed above is because the object of winning in gambling is "money", and everyone can never lie that they always need it. and want money, meaning that because of the object of winning this is why the majority of gamblers ignore the negative side of gambling. And also I think if gambling only has the possibility of losing without providing a chance of winning then I think no one will ever want to gamble.
820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY on: June 30, 2024, 05:00:32 PM
It's really difficult to gamble responsibly especially when that's not how you were taught when you were young and a newbie to gambling, responsible gambling can't happen overnight so it's not something that you can really expect yourself to be getting done in one day, it can't happen so quick after all. Maybe this is a different case though as this isn't really a feat that any person can do, some people don't have that ability to chase losses so bad that we end up doing this, this is a rare case of bad loss chasing if I've ever seen one also this man probably don't have the ability to control himself and is lacking self-awareness because if you know that your life savings is the only money that you've got then you're probably not qualified to gamble like there's no tomorrow, sometimes it's tempting to blame these people getting themselves in this miserable hell hole but it's not worth it and we don't know the whole story besides what's reported.
Some gamblers that are new to the gambling system understand it wrongly but after long time of trying they might get the real understanding. Might be when they have lost enough or won enough. However someone who do not experience lose can't tell another gambler how to gamble safe because he hasn't gotten any experience from his gambling life, all the truth is that he is always lucky and the person person he's telling about gambe might not be lucky as he is. The important thing is, getting a good idea of how to gamble responsible.

If from the start no one tells you about the actual concept of gambling then it is very likely that a beginner will misunderstand, which is usually where they will have quite high confidence and hope in winning at gambling, there are even some of them who think that gambling is a get rich quick scheme. This is the mistake that occurs in the majority of beginners' mindsets who come of their own accord without being suggested or invited by other people who have already gambled. This means that I understand your opinion that to be able to identify a mistake, a person must first make that mistake unintentionally, because in any case it is usually experience that will tell a person what is good and what is bad and should be avoided.

But that doesn't mean that by having a lot of experience they will be able to correct their mistakes in their mindset and approach to gambling. We can see addicted gamblers who are getting worse day by day. Getting a lucky streak is a very difficult situation to get, although it is possible for all gamblers including beginners, but this is only a matter of time, in the end they will definitely experience defeat.
