I think that when it comes to gambling there are various levels of luck involved with playing different games, but perhaps the greatest skill one can have is knowing when to walk away. Limiting losses and walking away when you’re ahead is important because eventually everyone loses. Just a matter of time.
Yes, gambling depends greatly on luck and whoever gets too lucky, he will definitely have the big win. But this is not the challenge in gambling as everyone can be lucky at any given time, but saying when to walk away from gambling when you think your gambling habit has become more intense, that’s certainly done from a gambler who has the greatest skill in gambling. Otherwise, if you are just focused on your greed and continue gambling without setting limits, for me that could only bring you danger in the future. |

I dislike when gamblers blame other people for their losses. One should know that there is no guaranteed win from gambling, because it is designed to defeat us and bring all the profits into the gambling’s house. If they let us win sometimes, that is because they want us to play more and bet bigger amount of money, so that once the luck is not ours anymore, then it’s their time to reap all the profits that makes them even richer while leaving their customers the poorest.

I should say most of those government licensed casinos have claimed that they have adopted this provably fair system, but in reality they are not the ones who’s capable to say it, but the gamblers and their loyal customers who have experienced most often in their casinos. And to be honest, it’s only in their paper but only few have practiced it. But in order for some casinos to be trustworthy and be more reputable on the eyes of its customers, I guess adopting provably fair system should be more internalized rather than making self claims.

I don't think there needs to be good intentions to have fun by gambling. We gamble, and yes we gamble and don't need to think about many things. And if we want to have fun by gambling, that's what we do using the money we can afford. And I don't need a reason to gamble because I gamble when I want to gamble. And when I don't want to gamble, I don't gamble. It's that easy. There is no need to think too complicatedly when you want to gamble because it will confuse you about what you want to get from gambling. I remember there was a thread where there was a game playing site that didn't use money but they could get money if they managed to win. So it's good for you to try it. Here is the thread: Socialtournaments-A way to stop gambling addiction Gambling is not complicated actually, only people do complicate it. But I believe it’s the reality nowadays that they only gamble for money, fun is just the second option. But whether you gamble for fun or for money, I think that won’t matter at all. As long as you can afford to gamble and you know how risky it would be to gamble without being aware how to deal with those risks, then that’s fine. After all, gambling is not by chance, but it’s definitely a choice made by people who have passion to do it. |

To those places that have practiced this, mostly they're not an actual casino. They're just like a one-day setup betting local place and then after the event, they're all gone after all.
Yes, not long ago I thought cockfighting gambling had become extinct in my country, but recently I saw the news where the police had arrested many gamblers there and turned chickens and money into evidence, it turns out that all this time they had been playing in the middle of the interior forest so it was difficult for the police to detect gambling. like this, but in fact it can still be traced and the gamblers involved are arrested. I think maybe this is the reason why the OP thinks this could be added to online casinos, because it will make it easier for gamblers to gamble without having to go to a local gambling place which is sometimes in the middle of a hidden forest except in countries where it is legal maybe cockfighting gambling can be done locally common in society is not a problem, but as online gambling develops, local gamblers might expect there to be gambling like this online, but unfortunately it is not of much interest to many gamblers around the world. Well, cockfighting has been part of online gambling in our country way back then but when gambling addiction has surge too high because a lot have shown deep interest on cockfighting, eventually our country decided to ban it for good. Scandals that have arise during that time have now come to its end, that's the reason why cockfighting these days has been controlled but still a lot of cockfighters still pursue their gambling session even in the middle of the forest or in some abandoned areas. |

Gamblers initially see these casino games as for fun and entertainment purposes, until they realize that it could be a good source of earning income if you have the luck and skills to win those games. That's the reality in gambling, that's why no matter how we try to explain to every gambler that casino games are designed to entertain us, the thought of it is still beaten by the human greed to gamble and expect better profits ahead.

This is not a case of being addicted to gambling. There are people who are actually in control of their gambling habits or addiction. For instance, they do not gamble beyond their budget; they commit an hour or two to gambling per week or twice per week and strictly adhere to it, among all other things. We have heard and read stories here and out there about how gambling ruins lives, careers, relationships, throws people into debt and more. But my question is, could this be happening to everybody? Has your responsible gambling habit had any positive effects on your relationships with your spouse, kids, parents, and others? Has it improved your finances and helped you stay out of debt? Has it improved your mental health and well being in anyway? Has it been able to help you meet an urgent need? Let's discuss.
Firstly, I'd like to tell anyone reading this, all gambling has is negative impact on your life. And no one could be in 100% in control of their emotions 100% of times. So, you are going to ruin it one day. Beside ruining my savings, I can tell that my gambling disaster has helped me be more cautious about dividing my budget, use of my savings and diversifying my investment. I admit that I personally am not fully able to control my gambling habits so some portion of my earnings/savings now are directed towards crypto investment, FDs, Stocks and SIPs. If it were not for my gambling habits, I could have just saved them on my saving accounts. And with my plan of disaster control, I have more investment than my normal savings. I'd definitely agree on this. You know, gambling is gambling, and once we developed some passion into it, our emotions will not be fully 100% in controlled anymore especially if we are given chances to win most often. That's why it's a good thing that you initiated some prevention first before you fall into gambling addiction, and by putting your money into some crypto investments, your profits might probably be higher than those you can gain from gambling in the future. Well, that's also my future plan but this time, since my funds are not yet stable than it should be, then I just have to try gambling with an amount I can afford to lose, and just continue to gamble responsibly until I've come to earn sufficient funds to invest in the future. |

Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?
It's possible that they will listen to their teachers but this is like introduction than prevention. A lot of things play in my mind but an actual scenario and test or case study will prove if it will. I worry about the current generation of children not really listening to what their teachers say, in contrast to previous children who really respected their teachers and obeyed school rules, that's why I don't think it guarantees that they can be ready to get education about gambling because it will definitely make them try gambling. and don't understand the dangers because what we know is that differences in time and technology greatly influence a child's character. So in my opinion, gambling education is actually very inappropriate, let it be the job of parents at home to provide guidance for their children to understand the dangers of gambling and stay away from it because it can cause addiction and harm themselves. Well said mate. The new generation these days might only perceive it on one ear and then pass it on the other. So I don’t think introducing gambling education will work for them. Instead, it might only lead them to some curiosity and might try gambling even if their ages are not fit for it. So let it be the role of parents to educate their children about gambling because first and foremost, they serve as the role models of their children, and if they are on gambling, their children will probably imitate the same. Although introducing gambling education at school might have a good intention, but the more the children become aware on it, the bigger the chances they will be encouraged to experiment. |

yes i can say its more of a guy thing. one of the reasons why i think its so is because of the financially responsibilities that the men do shoulder and also that men always want to earn more so its pretty easy as a guy to get involved and also if you have friends that are into it then it will be more easier. but i think things are changing and have seen some ladies go into gambling although the percentage is still kind of low but maybe in some years to come we will have a good population of them especially for those who wants to do it for fun.
Couldn’t agree more. Since men are more exposed in financial responsibilities to provide for their family, the urge to grow and increase their income is high that’s why they are more open to investments, even in gambling that can bring decent amount profits if you are smart enough to play the game. They take more risks than women, and love to explore new things that will bring additional profits on them. And gambling could be the perfect example of it. Unfortunately, when they become more focused on accumulating profits rather than just enjoying the game, that’s when gambling addiction hits them. |

In my opinion, there's no game that offers a better chance of winning than the other. Gambling is gambling; if you have a large odds to gamble on, you will likely lose more, but if you gamble on small odds, you could have a better chance to win more, and if you keep betting on small odds and win, you can keep accumulating your wins and you can get a good amount of money than just gambling on very big odds and risking a huge sum of money. I think if a gambler applies wisdom or experience to the way they gamble, they will not experience more loss that other gamblers have not experienced before.
You’re right. Gambling is gambling, and will definitely put an edge on its house over the gamblers. And it’s not on the type of games that makes you profitable from gambling, but it’s on your knowledge, skills and even luck that make you attract winnings over losses. However, know that any type of game will beat you in the end as these games are not created to make you win a lot but certainly, to make you lose of what you have. |

Actually, gambling addiction starts when you let yourself fall on its trap. You fall on its trap because you assumed that there’s more to gambling than by simply making your first win. And because of that, you want more and you chase for bigger profits ahead, not knowing that gambling is not all about winning but more on losing precisely. And you will only realized that gambling is bound to make you lose when you see everything is falling apart, when your gambling luck is not there anymore.

Setting win limits is a very important task among gamblers. Some gamblers continue their gambling activities even after receiving more winnings or bigger wins.
In as much as gambling is concerns we shouldn't place all our focus on gambling, or using all our money on gambling with the hope that it will work for us and perhaps if it eventually fails it becomes a setback for us, but perhaps having a job could also help our mindset in times of gambling were as all the attentions will not be channel only on gambling but for other things too, also with that someone can easily control his method of gambling or perhaps just like you said it will also be good if we should set a target of wining or losing that whenever you losses or wings a certain amount you should call it a day instead of betting beyond that. That’s how responsible gamblers should be. But unfortunately, when people are already winning, they also increase their winning expectations and continue to gamble all in. Until they realized that their profits are slowly coming back to the casino until they used up everything they have. Setting win limits is actually crucial, as every responsible gambler has its certain goal to achieve, and once it’s already happening, then that’s the time to stop gambling and go home and never get carried away with the urge to gamble more. |

Especially individuals addicted to gambling generally aim to place higher bets with their entire budget and gain high profits at once but unfortunately this causes high risk and high tension.
Higher bets if you just want to feel the adrenaline or want to win big quickly in my opinion are not the right steps, for example in soccer betting we can divide the bets into several matches and then divide a certain amount of money for each bet there of course the chance of winning can be realized more while betting on In one match there is definitely a risk when we are not really lucky. Even though we can predict sports betting, it still all comes back to luck because without it it would feel useless and most addicts usually place high bets to achieve big wins and return the money lost due to previous losses, but believe me, this all has quite a high risk too. . It's best to avoid betting like that even if you have a lot of money, bet wisely and bet with money that you are ready to lose. No matter how we remind people to bet wisely and never gamble on the money they can’t afford to lose, gambling addicts will never realized that because their urges to bet is high and their greed is incomparable. So it’s always a challenge for them to bet wisely as these type of people have only focused on how to win big and on how to regain all their previous losses. However, even with newbies in the industry, as long as they have sufficient money to bet, they will surely bet all in and expect luck in the process, which I think do not happen easily to all gamblers. |

Definitely yes. I will never gamble my money if I know I can’t manage it to lose, or it’s something that is currently needed on some important matter. But knowing it’s my extra cash, so I think I can freely use it for my entertainment satisfaction and gambling is probably the best thing that could give me fun after playing its game. So no matter how the things will go, even if it could be a loss, it doesn’t matter actually as long as gambling games have satisfied me. But it will be more fun also if I happened to win the game and double my money from gambling.

Today, let's shift our focus and discuss something different instead of constantly addressing gambling addiction. So, I've decided to bring up a new topic: signs that indicate you are not addicted to gambling. Let's explore it.
Here are some indicators that demonstrate a lack of gambling addiction:
In addition to the above-mentioned list you just gave @ O.P, I think another sign which shows that you are not addicted to gambling is "No unnecessary borrowing of money" from friends or family members just to please your gambling desire. And likewise "Gambling with the amount you can always afford to lose" is another sign you are not addicted, because unlike an addicted fellow, he/she will always want to gamble, not minding the amount been spent. Well, it’s like if you gamble with your only spare money, that’s a sign that you’re not into gambling addiction. And once you lose them all, you know that it’s time to go home and leave the casino without any regression. If your mindset is like this, then you will have no financial problems when it comes to gambling, and whenever you decide to gamble, you know that it’s just for fun and entertainment purposes, not actually to earn a living or recover all what you have lost. |

Totally agree. Gambling is even more dangerous not just in your funds, but definitely on your health as well. If you gamble only to create consistent losses, surely it will result in your health in the long run as the pressures and stress become unmanageable later on. So never see gambling as a safe haven for providing you an income, instead use it for your recreational activity. The only way gambling becomes a safe haven is when we gamble and it brings fun and joy to us, but certainly not for giving us a steady source of income.

It is quite confusing that there is not specific definition of a professional gambler and also that America is one of the countries with strict gambling taxation law. But America is making money from gambling taxes, they shouldn't ban gambling. It just makes no sense.
In my country, gambling winnings are not taxed. It is considered more of a recreational activity than a source of income. This though is likely to change as more gambling organizations are created. The government may wake up one day and demand a piece of the gambling pie.
America cannot ban gambling, as they generate significant tax revenue from a billion-dollar industry. Major sports like MLB, NFL, NBA, and others are responsible for a large portion of these bets, and it benefits the government to allow more gambling sites to operate legally. As long as proper tax enforcement is implemented, there's little chance they will consider banning the entire gambling industry. Well, if the country continue to benefit from the gambling casinos, then it's rare to see US banning gambling operations, except for those illegal gambling sites that do not pay taxes to the government. However, in my country, gambling is just a recreational activity, whether you win or lose, the government won't demand tax from you. But for gambling lotteries, there's always tax associated in it to help build public hospitals and big infrastructures that will cater the needs of the citizens. |

I have done it before and some have turned me into profits while most of them have definitely gone wrong and all I’ve got are just pure losses. That’s why as much as possible, I have to check repeatedly my bet and its corresponding amount so I won’t be mistaken again. It’s luck when we commit mistakes and still end up winning, but most of the time its negligence that would lead us into losses when we bet and not even knowing about it.

Poor boy, he didn’t realized that gambling is a serious matter and anything that you lose into it will never have the chance to be refunded, unless if the casino is at fault. But it’s very clear that this boy has faked its age and now look where he is. This is why minors are strictly not allowed to gamble because they really are not aware how to take and manage its risk. For them, gambling is just a game that when you get lucky, you will double your money, but when you lose, everything you have is gone. Now, he might have learned a lesson but in a very unfortunate way.

This what happen when someone think gambling is 100% chance to win and 0% to lose, so she will not think about the risk and keep gamble until she make money from it. It's crazy how they need to post these things on social media instead of taking the loss on the chin and take accountability silently.
Maybe she want to get a sympathy from other people, increase her follower or getting donated by rich people or other casino. There are so many people are only looking to earn money, even it will harm other people or a made up story. Probably she wanted the whole world to know that sports betting is dangerous so that the people will start avoiding from falling into its addiction just like what happened to her. I know it’s also her right to express her freedom of expression but I don’t still get it why she have to cry out loud and show it to the world how irresponsible gambler she is. Instead of gaining sympathy, the people had end up bashing her due to her immaturity. |
