I am not sure if we have ever seen a stake promo here in this forum. Quite certain there are none.
On twitter it's easier for them to declare friends and famliy as winners, hahaha. Here in this forum there would be actual real people winning these contests, that would be insane. 

I'm not a risk taker even if I lose a big percentage of my bankroll I prefer to just quit and come back and hope next time luck will be in my favor.

There are gambling days that will not favor you and there are days that you are in a winning run, so if you keep losing, don't lose everything there will be more days to come and who knows the next days it's your time to recover your losses.

You have to remove those thoughts about your losses and always shift the blame to yourself for going all in instead of the casino.

Regardless of the low probability of losing your bet, it's still a bad decision to go all in because you'll quickly lose more of your deposits before recovering your losses.

Sometimes that's how luck works, they'll hit you with a loss when you least expect it, and once you sink in more hours, you'll know these low-probability outcomes happen more often.

Greed has become a problem that occurs quite often with gamblers, one of which is when they win. Many gamblers don't cash it out when they get a win, but instead they continue gambling by increasing the amount of their bet, which is more risky for themselves. Indeed, that is our own right, but at least we have to be smart in gambling. When we win, we have to cash it in because that is the best choice when we win at the gambling we do.

However, it cannot be denied that winning at gambling is tempting, especially with big wins. However, we must be aware that gambling will only end in defeat, therefore we must be able to take action properly, including considering it carefully, so that we don't take the wrong action which will land us in big trouble.

A lot of people find it difficult to help their self only a few people will see that they can help themselves, the best thing that can happen is that when things are getting out of hand then they can help the person through the therapy section and also get them a job so that when they are busy they won't even have the time to gamble their attention will be on there work addiction have ruined a lot of people so the earlier it is attended too, I have heard of stories of people even selling their property to gamble that is the extent that gambling addiction can drive you to. let us watch our family members closely, especially the ones that gamble to know whether they need help or not, so that it does not even get to the extent of them committing suicide. family will always be family and they will always have our back.

The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.

 I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.

Never bet for a draw anymore.
I used to try my luck on that option because of the high multiplier that it can give but ever since I counted all my losses against my wins, that is when I realized I should stop betting for a draw.

Never make a shoot-to-the-moon parlay. Picking the impossible after the impossible can make the parlay boost up to x1000 multiplier but it's a high risk with most of the time no chance for a win. It's very rare to see a gambler win those kinds of bets so I'd rather pick odds like x1.35+ to x1.50 and try my luck if I can combine them in a parlay and win it. Very low profits but the risk is lower unlike what I said above.

We should have this kind of rule and live with it. That way we can avoid spending money on a bet that is unlikely to win. Then, we can save those and use them for a more sensible bet.

I was just playing Hi-Lo, making small dollar bets, if it's 5 number card I select higher card and win, if it's 10 number then I go with 'low' and win.

Then I was greeted with Ace card, minimal possibility for equal card right (i.e, Ace), so I go all in, and guess what happens, the result is Ace means I lost the bet.

Then I have all sorts of thoughts blaming casino, like do they manipulate the result of the game when user goes all in. I am sure they are all fair, it's just that the possibility of losing the game may be minimal but it's never 0.

Some times all bad outcome in gambling is not because of poor emotional balance because at some point we already know that gambling outcome are unpredictable and no matter what the level of your emotional stability is, you can still lose at any game, although some time where emotional involvement can be check is when we are taking the bets and what the direction we look at it from, e.g when we surpose to take a break and we decide to take extra bet just because our last bet was a lose, this point we are chasing our loses which is not a good thing to do at any time in gambling, because regardless how you feel, the reality is that you can still predict the result of your next game.

It has a huge impact on the person itself as over the long run gambling addiction has created a huge percentage of people suffering from cancer because of the unnoticed high level of stress that it brings to the person while he does not notice it because the dopamine his brain emits during gambling make him to do so,despite that the level of stress impacts or favors the creation of bad cells who lead to very bad consequences.This should be enough of a reason for people to stop yet they don't.

IMO, it's never ethical to go against any rule you have put and agreed with yourself be it gambling related or anything at all in a general sense because  it's show that you are not strict and can end up doing crazy things that might well affect you in turn and when we talk about gambling this is definitely the area you don't want to mess with. You might start with having policy not to ever gambling on some games or having strict time but the moment you flinch on that descipline that means you are slowly pushing yourself to addiction.

Yes it is true that the idea of controlling and limiting anything related to gambling is the right action to take as a precautionary measure, I'm not saying that you won't lose because no matter what and no matter how small it is, every gambler will still lose but maybe if you have some precautions such as putting limits and controls then the amount you lose will not be too big and will not be a big problem in your financial balance and however this is a must for all gamblers to have and implement controls and limits like this if you want to stay safe and avoid the significant adverse effects of gambling in the long run.

There are always lessons that we can learn from events and you don't have to wait for them to happen to you because there are enough examples of addicted gamblers that we can learn from and not follow their ways of gambling if you don't want the same fate as them, As you said above my friend, limiting the gambling budget in the sense of only putting the amount we can afford to lose and also limiting in terms of time so that we avoid the many temptations that can make us tempted and this is a healthy approach to gambling and is recommended for long-term safety.

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

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