Hi,
There are always things that we are passionate about doing, such as video games, football, basketball, and sports in general, meaning that everyone has something that excites them and makes them want to do.
Like others, I get very excited when I sit down, take my phone, and start my bets. This does not mean that I am addicted, but rather I find it more comfortable and I have more fun.
Does gambling excites you? What motivates you, winning or just the fun in it ?
Gambling could really give out that kind of excitement because it would really be something that give out that kind of thrill since you are really that risking money for you to earn money. Aside from having that kind of interest on a certain sport or whatever gambling activity whether casino games or others as long you are betting or making some wager into it then it would really be that normal for a human being to have that kind of impulsive feeling or thrill because you do know whether you could lose that amount or doubling it. Each person does have that different set of interest in life in regarding about on the things that makes them entertained or makes them that having that fun. On the time that you do find that gambling is already that affecting you specially on spending up too much then this is an another story. |

Trying to avoid thinking about previous loss is not going to help anything. A gambler should have focus whenever he is gambling by so doing he will not feel any pressure or anxiety because that is what causes loss more often. Pressure and anxiety cause doubts and doubts makes a gambler have the wrong selection of games to include in his bet.
Yep, thinking about previous loss actually the main reason why someone can become an addict because they gamble solely for money. They need to eliminate such thought because if they're always think about the past, they can't enjoy their life, this is not only about gambling. Just like, why I spent $500 just to eat in fancy restaurant when I can eat a well made food that cost $15, why I spent $200K to buy lambo when I can just buy a standard car that only cost $30K etc. On the time that you would really be having that kind of intent in gambling then you would really be definitely be having that kind of disaster towards your gambling activity or career or whatever it would be. Gambling is really just that for fun and not something as income making because on the time that you would really be that making yourself that delusional about being a winner then you are really that putting up yourself into that potential disaster. Gambling should really be that for fun but since people are really that having that kind of intent towards gambling then majority of gamblers are really that too hopeful that they could really be winners. On the time that they would really be suffering that extreme financial loses then this is where they would really be making out those realizations and would really be telling into themselves that they have done the wrong thing. Learning would really be always at the end and on the time that they would really be facing up those unfortunate conditions then this is where they would making adjustments. |

I got your story op and frankly I must say that your last illustration of getting other gamblers back to gambling isn’t were the problem lies but rather on the safety of the winner.
Have you thought of the dangers of sharing a success or winning story at the wrong place and at the wrong time?, there might be possibilities of the winner been robbed or harmed to claim his winnings and the rest of other challenges that might be associated as well.
Whatever the case might be, it is always advisable to be conscious of the environment at which we stay to share our success stories be it from gambling or any other place, as there have been several cases of people losing their lives as a result of jealousy and it’s likes.
Not only on gambling winnings but every other aspect of life, it is important to stay private with our incomes most especially when a tangible amount of money 💰 s involved because at some times you don't know the mind of the other person wether or not they are happy with you or will want to take the money from you at the end. So you are very right when you say that privacy is of utmost importance concerns for anyone gambler and learn to be silent when in public transport avoid evil attractions. Privacy is one of the most important aspect that we should really be that in concern on which its true that whenever you are really that boasting up on how much you do earn or won then it will really be giving out some idea to those people around on how much money you do have or how much you do possess at that moment. If possible then you should really be making yourself as private as possible or something that cant be tracked specially if its really been known that physically then it would really be that so damn hard to let those eyes be getting away from you. If we do speak about normal reactions then it is considerable but if you are really that doing it on exaggerated way then you should really be that careful. |

That's a sad story, and 100% emotional gambling, as he says, it doesn't matter how big the win is, for a gambling addict is never enough. But he already do the first step to solve the problem and that's to recognize that he have a problem, so, he is not on the wrong way right now.
And winning huge to lose it all is something that happens every day in casinos, i know it sucks, but is how casinos work.
As a human being then there's no such thing to be enough on which we would really be thinking that there's something more after we've been able to achieve something. Its true that there's no such thing about contentment because on the time that we have achieved those goals that we had set out, then we would really be tending to make another step on which you would really be looking something more better or something more bigger. This is why it would really be resulting out into those kind of decisions on which we know that this could really be making out those kind of probabilities which it would really be a devastating thing. If you wont really be having such good control then you could expect on what are the things that could happen. |

Some people would love to watch their favorite team at home with their family, some at a bar while their are others who would love to go to a viewing center. I come from a family where football is appreciated but currently they would prefer to go about their daily activities instead of joining me to watch our favorite team play. We all know how boring it could be watching football alone, their is this joy when you communicate and Analyze the game with people who have good knowledge about football so sometimes instead being bored from watching live football alone at home, I would rather go to a bar or viewing center, the viewing center especially cause it's funny how different fans argue about sports and make fun of the rival teams at the sports viewing center. That is the fun of football asides the players playing on the pitch, the argument, discussion and expectations from various fans in a bar or viewing center makes it more entertaining and interesting.
Let us keep this discussion going, where would you prefer to watch your favorite team?
Depends on my mood and depends on the venue on which if i do feel out on liking to see other people in together watching a match and would be making out some bets then i would really be definitely be going into those bars or viewing center on which you could really be able to fell up the thrill in between fans which betting to each other in regarding on whose gonna win. We cant really be able to deny that there's really that excitement that you could really be able to experience and felt unlike when you are watching in front of your own computer on which its really that boring but there are really times or moments on which you would really be definitely be liking on doing such stuff on which there are times that you wouldnt really be liking on going into those public places. This is why i have said earlier that it would really be just that depending on the mood i do have into that particular condition or moment. |

When gambling with money you can't afford to lose one would be tensed and won't be able to enjoy the game due to being tensed, well gambling is pretty much entertaining we all are aware of that putting the losses aside. But when come to using money you can afford to lose one would really enjoy the gamw looking excited and all that . Because either way ( losing or winning) the game will still endup being excited because I actually have nothing to lose , and by any chances I endup winning the game then it would be a win win  That’s how you get yourself into a more winning mindset when you gamble. You first, having to learn to accept the possibility of a loss and you just might not be scared to go in some daring predictions and wouldn’t border much about looking up prediction sites. I think those who do this are those that can’t really accept loosing but in gambling, loosing is more likely than wins Yeah you are right one should have such mindset before going in to gambling, because going with the mindset of winning all the time such individual may endup with the habit of gambling irresponsibly and endup losing it all. But setting your mind for any possibility either losing or winning, such individual will be able to manage his self when it comes to gambling. Yeah, that's why it's only recommended to do when we are having extra money that we will use in doing gambling because when we use the money that is not intended for that activity, for sure we will be having uncomfortable feeling, we might feel nervous because the only thing that runs in our mind is about winning because we can't afford to lose that money. So, better to check ourselves first if we are responsible enough to follow our own gambling rules so we will not ended up being broke after the session. Anything should really be having that limitation or restriction on which it would really be just that a common thing that we should consider on the time that we do gamble. Only gamble on the amount on which you can afford to lose and never ever make yourself consider on adding up even more money in case you do lose in the end of the day. You should really know on when to quit or having that completely stop rather than on continuing on making out some deposits on which this is something that you should really be that minding in the first place. Gambling is something that could give out that kind of thrill and excitement but on the time that you do put up yourself on such condition on where you do make yourself that impulsive then you are just basically making yourself putting up on trouble. This is why you should really be that careful when it comes to this matter. |

Isnt it depends on a gambling results ?  We had topic here, when women split with boyfriends after winning a hefty amount in a lottery. So if you are a good at gambling, win regularly and your relationships arent healthy, then keep it in secret. And win a tag of "greedy toad" I would not keep anything in secret with my second half, but it is all up to you. Weigh all pros and cons, but I bet there will be no pros at all. Very often, a family marriage begins to fall apart due to the fact that one of the spouses finds out that the second spouse was hiding something from him. In fact, any of us would not want this kind of thing to happen behind our back. This is why I am of the opinion that SmartGold01 should tell her husband about gambling. In any case, it will be better if he finds out about this from her lips than to check her browser history and discover a lot of new things. Marriage does not supposed to have any hidden words or behavior in-between. The husband need to be honest to his wife while she also have to do the same. It is obvious that nothing is hidden from the sun and any thing hidden will surely be unveiled soon. It is better for she to tell her husband that she is into gambling so that the man can look for ways to help her to reduce the gambling pressure or interest in her. A man can gamble which might not be tolerated by the wildlife but a woman which is meant to keep the family and take care of the children are not meant to be seen gambling, what will the children learn from her? Neither man or a woman in family or marriage then there's should really be that kind of transparency or being that honest to each other because this is one of the most important component or thing that could make that marriage bond to be way more stronger and tougher and cant really be just that easily be taking down but on the time that there would really be those conditions on which trust has been broken then this is something that cant really be easily be taking back into original state on which it would really be that so hard on doing such thing. This is something that you would really be needing to protect no matter what because once false or mistake you would be able to hit up then it wont be forgotten forever, or something that would really be creating that kind of doubt and thinking. |

Generally we don't like to be seen as a loser, we just want to get back what we lose and in gambling it's not really possible in that way so one more lose then we lose entirely. They are ignoring the basics of betting which shows the are ready to do anything just to achieve the results which can be due to greediness or addiction according to the situations.
Actually the main mistake with gamblers is that they don't accept their loss and want to chase it but they forget that gambling is not a field where they will use their knowledge to get their dreams victory. There is nothing required for gambling to get the reward but it is reality that if your luck shines then you win and if your luck does not co-operate with you then you lose in gambling. A person who gambles for the first time with thoughts that he will not be addicted towards gambling also becomes addicted to trying again and again to recover the sum that he has lost previously. Bare in mind that no matter what you do or the methods or whatever ways that you would be making but if luck isnt on your side then you would really be 100% lose that particular bet and it would really be always recommended that you shouldnt really be tending to chase up your loses no matter what because on the time that you would really be making yourself that kind of forcing about being lucky or being a winner then this would really be causing up that kind of desperation on which it would really be resulting into those impulsive actions on which we know that it could really be that too dangerous specially when dealing up with gambling. You cant really just that having an assurance that you would be winning the next bet and also we do know that gambling is something that should be for fun and not something that will be able to multiply your money in sure way or manner. |

On the time that you are on such condition then you would really be having that kind of urge to play even more because it is really that trying out to
ease out that kind of emotions or stress. Also you would really be having thoughts that you might really be able to have that kind of recovery or breakeven
on which this would really be your primary concern or liking on the time that you would really be in losing condition.
It is really that very crucial or something important for a certain gambler that who do really knows on when to stop or continue

I love all games - 19 (29.7%)
Casino - 8 (12.5%)
Sports betting - 32 (50%)
other - 5 (7.8%) Result of the poll so far. From 64 voters, 50% of them are sports bettor while only 12.5% are casino games players. Is it also a proof why when there are casino games competition in this forum, the number of participants is not as much as when there are FREE sports prediction contest? Or is it merely because sports prediction is FREE then there are always more members who are participating while most casino games contest requires participants to spend some money? Whenever there is something that is free, almost all people will join it no matter if they have a genuine interest on it or not, therefore I will exclude it as one of the indications. It's like a default already that sports will always win, because it's sports you know. Betting and winning can only be a bonus here but we can't deny that there are a good number of players whose goal is to secure a profit because they think it's more winnable than a typical casino game. I still wonder if what is that "other" category in the poll when I think there are only two main gambling categories. Could this be odd games which are mostly found in our locale? But even if a person plays it, for sure they still have their own favourite between sports and casino gambling. Who doesnt really like bonuses? As long their terms and conditions arent something that hard for it to be unlocked or would be able to reach out such threshold then everyone would really be tending to dive into it. It is really just that normal that people will be diving whenever they do see opportunities on which it would really be just that a common approach to have. As for categories then it would really be basing up into someones interest and knowledge but actually its not really that hard on involving all of those which are listed on the poll. People could really make out some immediate switch basing up into the opportunity or chances that they are seeing or even into their mood on the time that they do play. There are really moments which i do find myself that easily gets bored and make out some switches on different type of games as long it would be making myself that be able to enjoy or changing up the mood. |

I'm sure not all traders will agree with me but some could possibly be on my side...
Here are the reasons why;
1. It is quite stressful - old traders will soon give up due to mental health problems
2. It is not enjoyable anymore - nobody will stay long in a job that they no longer find themselves comfortable with especially if you are not earning well.
Most of the time we feel this during bear season.
3. Trust issue due to Scam growth - traders never find it safe to use exchanges, even big exchanges.
1. If you are someone whose really that emotional then not only trading will really be giving out that kind of stress, anything that involves losing money does. 2. Dont do things that it is really that out of your passion or simply you are really just that doing this because you are aiming on making yourself that rich or making it as a last resort for you to make money. There are things in life on which it would really be needing for you to dedicate sufficient time and effort. 3. Stick with known and reputable exchangers but the one thing golden rule that you should put up into your mind. "Never leave your coins on centralized platforms" "Not your keys, Not your coins". This is always the main line or rule that you do put up into your memory all the time. |

Can't say it will prevent you from lossing, or anyone as most of us are not winners in gambling. Bankroll management would teach us discipline on how to approach our gambling activity in a strategic manner, because the main reason why we are losing is because we are not discipline in managing our bankroll, we like instant profit, hence we will go for aggressive betting, but doing that does not make us think there's also the risk of losing since what we only have in our mind is to win or win back our losses, it's called chasing losses which I'm sure everyone is very familiar.
The fact that gambling involves risk should make individuals understand that they should learn to implement budget management, atleast it would help them control frequent lose of funds to gambling. Some individuals would want to recover their lose and sometimes would be bold enough to invest a large percentage of their income into gambling but if they learn to implement budget management it would really go along way In helping the lose much money. Yeah you're right gambling involves more of luck and good strategy and no matter how good an individual is you'll definitely encounter loses at some point in time, it's something that's inevitable but then avoiding lose of big funds matters a lot and that's where the implementation of budget management comes in, therefore every gambler needs to be aware about it. Budget allocation is something that would really be that crucial because once you do find yourself that being that too irresponsible when it comes to spending then you would really be ending up on sleeping on the streets just because you have nothing left into your bank account because you have lost it all in gambling on which this is something that we should not do when doing gambling. People would really be only making out some realizations on the time that they will really be experiencing problems and not on the time that they are still doing gambling and making out some limitations on which we know that this is something that you would really be gonna needing because once you do missed out on having that control then it would really be causing that huge problem on which you might really be telling into yourself that you should have done this and that but well its already too late for you to do such thing. |

Is it based only on your own observation or do you have any data source for this?
I suspect this is true, but I'm curious on what the actual female participation % figure is.
There could be a few reasons for that. Women are more risk averse in general, but, at the same time, are keen to participate in activities that are considered socially acceptable. So when gambling became more popular, i.e. due to mobile apps etc, more women have decided to give it a try.
Gambling is becoming more popular by the day and for countries like the developed world, gambling is no longer anything sort of introduction. Women are also becoming aware and interested in this gambling world Because of how innovative gambling is going and people bringing gambling to the digital platforms, it has become easier for women alike to access them from the comfort of their respective homes. This isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things as well on which we know that women is really that capable on doing things on which men could do. It is really just that we are living in a world on where females or women are really that being that looked down into different sorts of things without even thinking or trying to look that its not really that something impossible that they would really be able to deal with. If there is really that a significant rise of numbers of women who do engage with gambling then so be it and just move on and move forward. For sure this isnt really just that only limited on gambling space but also in other places as well on which women could really be able to make out that involvement because they arent that someone who arent that having that intellect for them not to be able to deal with these things. |

Stopping gambling becomes very difficult for addicted people. Gambling tends to lose when we continue to gamble for the sake of winning. It is important to understand the basics of betting when to stop betting. Betting is inherently more complex than simply choosing a team and relying on luck as it involves calculated risk analysis and measured patience. Beginners must fully understand the concept of odds, understand betting lines and fully evaluate the different types of bets. Take your time to approach sports betting responsibly and develop effective strategies educate yourself and prepare for the unexpected.
We just have to know the solid strategy to enable because winning is coming everyday in the system, know when to strive for good points and everything will ends up folding up to be yours in the system especially in this particular season. It's okay to reject and turn down possibilities of bouncing back. This might just be a good chance to try out. Know when to stop gambling, this will be one of the wise decision to follow-up because it's streak undivided winnings coming your pockets. Not being able to differentiate from when to start and stop isn't a good sign in gambling. It'll only take a few more plays for a player to stop. At least. Going farther than that is the wrong move. And should be worked on, through self-examination. Gamblers are not meant to continue playing if they're not winning in the first place. It's almost natural that gamblers who don't win will stop. Especially a newbie player. The casino chose an advantageous strategy of offering early wins to newbie players. To, for a while, keep them in the game. However, gambling with no purpose or designated stopping time is not encouraged. Regardless of whether we are winning or not. Wagering money without calculating puts the player into debt. As the drive to wager more, sticks around the gambler, despite exhausting his funds. At some point, gambling will take control of the player. And stress him out. Mistakes then develop massively to diminish the player's wealth. All this happens due to the negligence of timing or limitations while gambling. On the time that you do reach out into a point that you cant really be able to distinguish whats good and whats bad, or when to continue or when to stop then this do really solidly signifies that you cant really be able to decide well because of much expectation towards gambling or trying out to chase up some loses and you would really be having that kind of mindset that gambling could really be making you rich and in case you are in loses then you would really be trying out to chase it out as much as possible on which we know that this is something which isnt really that recommended. On the time that you do gamble then you should really know on when to stop and you should really know about your financial status because it would really be that pointless if you are really that trying out to play without having that kind of control. |

Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews?
|
on: April 15, 2024, 04:43:38 PM

I want to believe that its not all the casino platforms that make reviews both the paid and non paid reviews because they may not have the capacity of affording to go for such for any reason best known to them, which am not in support of, because we must be able to get some feedback in what we offer to the gambling community through their respective feedbacks so that we can work on measure to improve in the quality of what we offer and see the image on what we stand to represent.
It depends on the reputation and the current stance of a casino in the leaderboard of all casinos in the industry whether they would need to have paid or non-paid reviews posted everywhere over the internet about them only to lure in more gamblers. A reputable platform wouldn't need that because its marketing campaigns and promotions are enough to gain the attention of users around the industry, whereas a casino that is either new or doesn't have a very good reputation will tend to do such things only to gain more trust among the gamblers in the community. People who look for reviews before joining a platform should ask other gamblers in public forums such as this one because a person who has experienced something can give you the best feedback about it. Trying to look around on which there are not having tons of review sites that we do have online on which we can really be able to check out on which means that there would really be no such demand and if there's one then only a few would really be reading it. Its true that reviews could really be faked out and could really be that not that right or something its false on which we know that there are competitors on which they are hiring or paying up someone to ruin out others reputation on which this is something not that shocking anymore. This is why not all would really be that not minding about trying to read up with these review sites on which can actually be able to observe it out on our own and would be making our own decisions whether we would be playing out or not on a particular platform. |

on: April 15, 2024, 04:30:19 PM

Whenever I've got free time to gamble, it excites me but sometimes it's no longer exciting when I am actually playing already. When losing streak comes, do you think that it's exciting and fun? No. But the fun never stops when we've got loads and when our pocket is full and when we're recharged. Those that have been gambling for a very long time, it's no doubt that they're always excited regardless of their recent result. What is important to them is that they have to gamble and there's no one that's going to stop them from doing it.
It's fun while you're winning but no one is having fun when you're starting to see all of those reds on your account and stats. We don't want that but is there anything that we can do to prevent that? There's none. What we can do is to stop or keep going on and that's the exciting part because you don't know what the next results will be.
Losing streak is never been fun on which it would really be that a common approach for you to have or the emotion that you would really be able to feel on the time that you would really be experiencing such condition on which it would really be best that you should really be that dealing up on something which does makes you happy. Also, we do know that gambling is really just that for the sake of fun on which it would really be that best that you should really be that you would really be having that kind of intent in the first place on which gamble for fun and not for money. Although if you would be having that fun but you have been barraged with tons of loses then the excitement and fun would be gone and if you are someone whose really that not good when it comes to emotion and mind handling or discipline then you would really be finding yourself that getting impulsive on which it might be ended up for you to have that messed up life because of gambling on which this is something that you should really be needing to look upon. |
