Yes and you have mentioned some of the bad effects that are very likely to be experienced by many gamblers as well as those that can affect or impact the people around them such as families when they gamble in the wrong way or gamble in a way that is not recommended, we have to go back to the actual fact that the societal perspective on gambling as a whole is negative and means that of course there is no positive expectation from someone who is already involved in gambling even if they are basically capable of being a good or responsible gambler because the possibility of bad potential is always lurking in them, and means that there is nothing better than not gambling at all or avoiding gambling activities. On the other hand, it is the right thing to do, no matter if you just want to have fun with gambling because the bad possibilities cannot always be avoided completely and it means that it is very possible for you to eventually become someone who is addicted to gambling and suffer many problems that will befall you and the closest people in your life.

One of the reasons why a gambler can end up or enter the addiction phase is because from the beginning they have the wrong point of view and understanding about gambling, they think that gambling is a place that can provide them with income and nothing but this mindset is usually formed when they get a win at the beginning of their involvement in gambling so that it indirectly makes them conclude that gambling can be a place of income, But unfortunately gambling is not for that, because over time the results of gambling will be different - different, I mean that maybe you now manage to win a certain amount but it cannot be denied and it is very likely that in the next session you lose and lose all the money you won before.

The expectation that they put on winning makes them irresponsible gamblers in the sense that they can't accept the fact of losing at the end of the session, and of course their usual course of action is to chase the winnings to restore something that has been lost, but instead what happens is that they suffer even more losses. On the other hand, you have already said one of the reasons why gambling should not be used as a place to earn, that is because there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session, and that means that all the wins you manage to get are no more than a "coincidence".

How often do we see this problem in real life? I have several friends who are now addicted, every day they always experience a lot of problems, losing financial balance is an impact that they will definitely feel in real life, and I saw one of my friends just sold one of the items that seemed to  have become a friend of life for most people, namely gadgets, He needs the gadget to help facilitate his life in every way and one of them is to communicate with family or friends or girlfriends, and there is no other way to be able to help himself from the needs of life that cannot be tolerated other than he has to sell his gadget and get  money to buy food, and isn't this a gambling addiction problem that causes problems in everyday life? Not only this because I also often see some news shows that inform that the rate of people who commit criminal acts is higher due to the impact of gambling addiction.

One of the reasons why we have to talk about the evils of gambling addiction as well as give/exchange advice and guidance to anyone as a preventive measure is because this is the only thing we can do to help our fellow gamblers not end up with addiction and a lot of bad consequences. On the other hand you can't just say that "most gamblers only play with little money", you can't conclude that simply because that idea overrides another fact here which is that the population of addicted people is increasing and I saw this fact from some news shows that showed statistics of the increase in people involved in gambling where the percentage increase almost touched 100x from 2020 to now, and this means that the population of addicted people will increase, and this is the reason why we always discuss the adverse effects of addiction along with giving a lot of advice and direction so that the number of addicted people can be minimized. I understand that most gamblers come to earn but unfortunately gambling is not a place that can provide you with income, it is this misconception that we must correct and redirect.

Yes there may be some gamblers who think that 1% is too small an amount to get a lot of fun or to sustain the fun over a longer period of time, and of course I also wouldn't mind if they wanted to increase the amount of budget they carry a little to 5% as you mentioned for example and just don't go over 10% because of course when you put the amount of bets with a budget above 10% then obviously at least it will definitely create problems in terms of your finances even if the problems are not too big. but the fear is that over time it is possible to eventually experience an increase in interest in gambling that can change all the approaches that you have planned before, But the fear is that over time it is very possible that you will eventually experience an increased interest in gambling that can change all the approaches you have planned before.

One of the reasons why I emphasize to anyone to put 1% in each gambling session is because it is very likely that they will eventually experience a change of interest as I said above which of course can make them think of increasing their budget, and with you in the habit of putting 1% then obviously I think the amount of increase will not immediately exceed above 10% because it is likely that this scenario will be gradual, and imagine if you start your gambling by putting a budget amount of 5% - 10% then wouldn't the amount reach 20% when you experience a change of interest over time? Of course that's a possibility, and it's nothing but advice that I say this so that you don't lose too much. On the other hand, you have also mentioned about the habits that are always done by gamblers who have entered the addiction phase and that is true.

Yes, I think this is quite simple and for this problem it really comes back to parents who do have full responsibility for their children, we are not not allowing a child to watch any channel, one of which is a show on TV but maybe along with that it would be nice to apply limits to the activities carried out by a child, On the other hand, we will not always be able to predict the schedule of shows on TV channels and that means it is very possible that when you only allow your child to watch at certain hours it turns out that at the same time there are shows that lead to negative things and one of them is the promotion of gambling, and a better solution is that you have to be next to them when they are watching TV shows or playing other social media because with this, you will have full control to prevent and divert your child's vision when there are shows that smell of gambling.

Or yes, it can also be like what you suggest where we divert a child's attention to many other things that are physical actions such as outdoor activities whether it is exercising which can indeed be healthy and improve a child's fitness. On the other hand of course directing a child to more positive things is a good action that will ultimately create good habits for themselves.

Yes, that is the case, because gambling is very likely to change a person's character and personality, as I said that my prediction could be something that is very likely to eventually happen, which is where someone who has responsibilities in his real life cannot be denied that it will be possible for them to eventually fall into the wrong approach to gambling, We must understand that gambling is an activity that can stimulate your brain and mind because there is a chance of winning there that is always difficult for most gamblers to ignore and this is what can make gamblers change over time without them realizing when they are really in a situation that makes them lose control.

To be honest, I do not discourage anyone from recommending anything to others, especially the elderly, but before that I hope you try to consider first about the negative and positive impacts that exist in something you want to recommend, if there are indeed bad effects that are far greater than the fun then obviously avoid it and look for other alternatives that do not have serious risks.

And everyone has quite different experiences in their gambling activities, all of this depends on how they treat their gambling and what their perspective on gambling is, I will say this when you or anyone asks what impact will be received by gamblers during their involvement. What is worrying is the gamblers who take gambling too seriously, especially for those who think that gambling is an earning activity, on the other hand I can already ensure that in the end you will experience many bad effects when gambling on the wrong path.

Yes we are the same, I also know about gambling through one of my friends, he introduced me to gambling which eventually I took an interest in this activity, to be honest in the early stages I can be said to be one of the gamblers who has a big ambition to win but in the end when I have experienced a very bad thing where I really have financial problems and with experiences like that then now I really understand about gambling, never put any hope in this activity because gambling is actually nothing more than a probability activity that only provides "opportunities" (not that you always win), the possibility of risk will always lurk you and even the possibility of bad impact is much greater, therefore we must be very careful in addressing and treating gambling if you do not want to end up with a lot of problems.

But I say that it is no longer "entertainment" if the activity basically causes problems to a person, as you said that when you have a goal to gamble every day then you must have a sufficient budget for each day especially to fund your gambling activities, but isn't it right to say that over time this habit will actually cause a lot of financial problems? obviously, one of the reasons is because gambling is not always about winning but the possibility of losing can also never be avoided, and can never be separated from gambling because gambling is a risk-taking activity.

I think it is a very careless or even stupid decision to gamble every day, most likely you will experience a lot of financial problems because I can already confirm that the number of losses is definitely greater because winning always depends on how lucky you are at that time. On the other hand no matter how good your financial situation is, even if you are one of the rich people still I think eventually you can go bankrupt because of the approach to gambling that is very excessive, so avoid the idea of gambling every day because most likely gambling will no longer be fun but you will only spin the cycle of chasing losses to restore something that has been lost.

But on the other hand there are still some gamblers who are able to stay fine, and that means they have a formula to prevent emotions that dominate them when they are in a losing situation, and I would say that the formula they apply in their gambling is that they have the right understanding and point of view about gambling, especially in terms of risk so that with this then they will not dare to act carelessly such as for example in putting the amount of money, they only put the amount they can be responsible for when losing and this is very useful for minimizing the occurrence of emotions when you lose. In contrast to most gamblers or especially those who have experienced addiction where they always act excessively because they always prioritize winning so it is only natural that in the end they get emotional when it turns out that the final result does not match what they want. So in my opinion what must be corrected is your mindset and point of view on gambling, never consider gambling as an activity that produces because of course in the end you will end up with a lot of disappointment, for me gambling is nothing more than an activity to fill spare time when I'm off work.

The point is that you really need to be rational when you get some offers from other people such as those who offer to be gamblers that you fund, or other things promoting gambling to you without any cooperation, it all depends on you and maybe we can only suggest something like what you suggest that they really need to be rational and ask for some proof of the winnings that the person who promotes, if they cannot provide or show something as proof that they really make money from gambling then obviously you should feel doubtful and suspicious of them.

I think it's quite simple to make a decision, and  with you bringing a rational attitude then you will really know at least some facts from the suspicion that is in your mind when they promote something without any evidence that can really be trusted and you will be able to get a  conclusion and decision on the considerations that you do by being rational.

Right, we are of the same mind on this, I think it is no longer a matter of suspicion but certainly this really happens and is done by most gamblers especially those who have entered the addiction phase, they will find it difficult to ignore all the people they see in running sessions, so this is what makes them end up depositing much larger amounts. On the other hand, I will absolutely confirm that only a few gamblers are able to ignore the "greed" aspect of gambling because the opportunity to get a bigger  amount of winnings is always in their mind. And for those gamblers who can actually afford to risk no more than 1% in their gambling then I can confirm  that they really understand the various bad possibilities that exist in gambling so that they prefer to prioritize risk management or various precautions for safety.

Your statement is very good and right about gambling is an activity that can be "harmful and entertaining", we can choose whether we want to make gambling a harmful activity or vice versa by making and treating gambling as a fun activity. All of this is a choice and only you know what is best for yourself, but in the grand scheme of things and in the common sense that everyone has I am sure that all gamblers do not want to experience the ill effects of gambling, and that means that there is no other option that you have to choose but to make gambling as nothing more than a fun activity, with this mindset and point of view I think it will not be too difficult for you to create a balance in any case whether it is in terms of your financial time management.

I think the idea and point of view that gambling is just for "fun" can cover everything, my point is that by having this mindset and understanding then obviously you will have no difficulty doing some things or actions that are suggested, It will not be difficult for you to put small amounts because you understand that the possibility of risk can always not be avoided completely and you will also definitely limit the time of gambling because you know that when you gamble too often then it will be able to make you fall into the wrong path which ultimately makes you addicted, so the point is that we must control gambling and not gambling that controls us.

Yes and the reason is because we do not have the right and power to regulate everything because all of that is beyond our ability individually and that means only the government in a country can limit or even prevent some promotional broadcasts in various channels because the government has the right and power to do so, and that means there is no other way if you really don't want your child to be affected by things like this especially what they see other than us limiting the activities carried out by a child, this is the only thing we can do for prevention so that things that are not wanted can be minimized a little. On the other hand, yes you have also said something that I said earlier that now is the digital era where everything we can get from the internet, especially science and other knowledge, so the point is that as much as possible we have to direct a child to things that are indeed more positive and along with limiting them, don't let them walk alone without monitoring from you as a parent.

Yes and a calm mood along with a relaxed feeling can only be obtained when you gamble without putting any hopes and expectations on winning, because obviously on the other hand if you put your hopes then the game that runs will be very stressful in the sense that you will feel really worried about losing, on the other hand you have said some things that are likely to be felt by gamblers when they come with the intention of earning and that is true when in the end they lose then we can be sure that some out of control actions will of course be taken as a result of the emotions that dominate. And this is the importance of being a responsible gambler, because with the responsibility you have it will be able to make you more relaxed because you are able to accept whatever the results at the end of the session are especially ready to lose, because with this then I think it is less likely for you to do things that are prohibited or not recommended, and one thing I want to say that the number of attempts made by gambling addicts will actually only make them end up with a lot of significant regrets.

Yes you have corrected my previous statement and it is true that in gambling there is absolutely nothing we can learn especially when your goal is to win, or what it means is that you will not be able to learn anything to make you win because in gambling everything that happens there is pure "coincidence" especially about winning. On the other hand, I understand that the "fun" that people often say could be something they shelter from criticism, and that means I suspect that the real purpose of all gamblers comes to win. Because it is quite reasonable that the "chance of winning" that exists in gambling is one of the things that attracts gamblers to come, and if the real goal is to gain pleasure then why not choose something else that is fun without involving risk? of course this is everyone's choice.

Basically everyone doesn't like to lose, but when you are able to be a responsible gambler then you will be able to accept the fact of losing at the end of the session because the allocation of money you bet is not too big or that means it is money that you can afford to lose without feeling regret, and the difference is in terms of "amount" if you lose a large amount then obviously I would say that you are not a pleasure gambler, because gamblers who have lost a lot can be sure that they are chasing victory with various attempts but your journey will not be that easy because the possibility of risk can never be avoided and this is the reason why you lose more than pleasure gamblers.

In gambling losing money is one of the common things that will be experienced by all gamblers but maybe we will point to the difference in the amount of loss between gamblers, I think it is a fact that someone who comes with the aim of seeking pleasure then they will not really lose a significant amount, and vice versa when your gambling goal is to earn income then obviously the impact is unquestionable, they will suffer a large number of losses and they just spin in a cycle of chasing victory to restore something that has been lost.

I'm honestly not saying that when you gamble with fun in mind you will be able to avoid all the bad possibilities, I'm saying "no" because however the bad possibilities will always lurk for you at any time while you are still involved in gambling, And that means the key is that you must really put firmness on yourself in applying the mindset and perspective that is suggested on gambling because the fear is that it cannot be denied that in the end you can experience changes over time due to the difficulty of ignoring some of the temptations that come, and of course in the end gambling is no longer a pleasure for you but a place that will give a lot of pressure. So the point is to apply caution and full vigilance to minimize unwanted possibilities.

Yes as I said above that even though they have a fairly responsible personality in real life but honestly I really wouldn't fully believe that they could be a responsible person if they were involved in gambling activities, this is another thing that raises another speculation and I have already mentioned my disbelief when they are involved in gambling. Gambling is a place that will have a bad impact on irresponsible people and gambling can also be a trap for those who are basically responsible in real life.

All the ideas that I said before that lead to preventive measures are all none other than my own experience, before that I once asked one of my friends who had already gambled to teach me how to gamble, he asked me "are you sure you want to get involved in gambling, think carefully" and I instantly said "Yes", and after that I was really in a bad situation where I lost balance in my finances which in the end I really realized that I shouldn't have asked my friend to teach me how to gamble, Although I don't blame them but still the bad impact is really felt by me and this is the reason why I really will never promote or teach someone to gamble, it is too risky especially for beginners who are really new to this activity or the elderly who should enjoy their old age with fun that does not involve risk.

Yes they can't ignore something they feel that is influenced by the temptation of gambling, I say they are too "prejudiced for gambling that is full of logic" so obviously because of this they are unable to miss all the whispers that enter their ears and minds. I think it's nothing more than the expectation of winning that makes them think of a million ways just to chase something that basically can never be chased unless by "chance" you're really lucky.

The hope that they put on winning makes them eventually rule out the possible risks involved in gambling and that can never be separated from this activity, and however the realization will usually come at the end along with regret. On the other hand, of course, casinos will be very happy with the audience or typical gamblers who are always greedy and who can never accept the fact of defeat like addicts because with gamblers who are always excessive in the sense that they have a wrong understanding, it will make casinos more and more profitable, and this is the reason why gambling should not be taken seriously let alone make it a place to earn because obviously the opposite will happen.

Leverkusen came as a complete surprise, one that I don't think they showed any indication of last season for this season which as we all know is a very surprising season. I don't know what Xabi Alonso's formula is, but certainly Leverkusen have undergone a very significant change since the arrival of this coach. This time we find an interesting situation like what happened last season where Dortmund gave a very tight competition to Bayern Munich towards the end of the season, previously I thought that last season Bayern Munich would fail to maintain its title dominance because Dortmund had a greater chance at the top of the table but it turned out that in the end they failed and the trophy fell back to Bayern Munich.

I think we'll see pretty much the same situation this season but I can't be completely sure yet. Of course, now Tuchel is in a situation that is far from safe / comfortable with a lot of pressure from the management, the advantage that Leverkusen has at the top of the standings is a thrilling situation for Tuchel, but as you said, anything can happen and we'll see if in the end the concerns of Bayern Munich fans will really happen or not.

From what I can see it looks like you have a good understanding of gambling and that understanding makes you have a good approach to gambling which in turn makes you stay fine until now without experiencing any problems as a result of gambling, that's good and one thing, I hope you can maintain this understanding along with this approach in the long run, and maybe on the other hand my other message and advice is that I hope you maintain or even increase the awareness that is in you when you are gambling, no matter how infrequently you gamble, you really need to be strict with your mindfulness because as is often the case, a gambler can experience a change in mindset and perspective when they are fooled by curiosity as a result of seeing something tantalizing happening in one of your sessions, so with a weak level of mindfulness it is possible for you to experience a change in approach that could potentially lead to you becoming aggressive in gambling.
