Usually this kind of misunderstanding is caused because they are too focused on the chances of winning so that they indirectly seem to rule out the possibility of risk which basically has a much higher percentage in gambling and in the end assume or have the belief and belief that gambling can be a place to make a living, and this scenario can also start when at the beginning of their involvement they managed to get a win and were too exaggerated in response to their victory so that they unconsciously put confidence in  winning at the end of the session.

Obviously what will happen is just the opposite as I said that they will only lose money and time slowly and without realizing it, it is quite difficult actually to be able to realize or restore consciousness if someone already has a wrong understanding from the start, although  there are indeed far better options such as finding another job that is certain and produces but this is beyond their wishes and maybe it seems like they are just waiting for a situation that really makes them down to reach their consciousness. On the other hand yes of course as I said earlier that this is a casino business which means to benefit the casino and as you said that this is the reason why we should make gambling a place of recreation or fun.
Like you said, it could be because you focus too much on the chance of winning even though the chance of winning is smaller than the chance of losing. They should be able to realize that the risk of losing will be greater so that it could cause them to experience very large losses too. And if they still want to achieve success from gambling, it will only cause them more problems because gambling is not the place to achieve it. But unfortunately, there are still people who still believe that they can get success from gambling. But if they can realize that they shouldn't need to use gambling to achieve success and just use it as entertainment.

Those who do not realize that gambling is not a place to achieve success or a place to make money will only experience bankruptcy from gambling until all their money is lost and their lives become a mess. Those who are too deep in gambling will not realize it because they are increasingly eager to get it so they do not see other opportunities that have a better chance of achieving success. Looking for other jobs can give them success and they have bigger opportunities than gambling. That's what they must realize to start reducing their gambling activities.

The gambler who want to start the gambling as their carrier,they will do the gambling as the serious business.They never consider the gambling as their entertainment,because they primary business was gambling.The most of the gamblers winning was not the guaranteed one,So the gambler who takes the gambling as their primary source of income means almost they taking of the risk.Because sometimes they get winning and sometimes they lose their entire capital.So he need to manage the money at the time of loss,because the gamblers will have their monthly expenses for the family at the time of loss in the gambling site.
If they think like that, they should also be able to think about whether they are really capable of making gambling a serious business, meaning whether they are ready for all the risks they can take from gambling. Many people have experienced defeat and it is difficult for them to make gambling a business or career. They will still find it difficult to win from gambling, so instead of getting success from gambling, they will instead experience failure. They will only lose from gambling more often than they win, so they should be able to realize that they should just look for a job that can provide more success. They only need to use gambling as entertainment after they finish work so they can enjoy their relaxing time by gambling.
1062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: January 26, 2024, 05:40:38 AM
Absolutely,I think the reason why people normally get addicted is lack of self control.as a gambler you can decide not to bet more than one ticket today but when you get to the office you notice that there are a lot of games  that very day,then you decide to bet more than one ticket,more especially those people that play virtual.they can decide to try with just 2hundred once they lost they keep trying and trying to the extent of betting with there phones,some person even bet with there vehicle no self control.

Sometimes this set of people end up stealing someone's property so as to get a staken power as a result of been addicted to gambling.

However there as also a lot of people that bet online using there bank account to fund there betting wallet, there is this friend of my that was addicted to a point that he doesn't have savings in his account all in the name of gambling. I'm not saying that gambling is a bad thing,gambling
has  helped a lot of people, of which I'm a living witness of the person that was reformed with gamble but he was not addicted to it,he used his initiative,as a gambler you're suppose to do the same not rapping it all over your head.
That's why we must continuously practice self-control so that we don't gamble excessively, especially when we see a game that attracts our attention and makes us want to play it. We cannot use more money just because we want to continue gambling even though we have finished gambling. Whatever results we receive from gambling should make us able to accept it.

Gambling is not bad as long as people can use it as entertainment so that they will not lose a lot of money, especially since it is their savings for the future. Maybe some people have lost all their money because they gambled too often so they didn't have any preparation for their future. That shouldn't happen, meaning we have to try to avoid it because we only gamble in our free time and don't make gambling the only way to get pleasure. When we gamble and can win, we must be able to stop gambling before we lose all the money because we want to continue gambling so we can get more wins.

Yes that's right and exactly, after all gambling is about winning and losing at the end of the session, whoever it is whether you are a beginner or even a professional you will still be able to end up finding one of these two answers between winning or losing, simply put if you are lucky then you will win but on the other hand if it turns out that you lose then obviously that means you are unlucky, However and anyone can never completely avoid the possibility of risk because gambling is something that runs randomly and without any certainty, so this is the reason why we must remain careful and vigilant and also along with applying self-control to minimize emotions due to defeat and also limit everything such as the amount of budget in each session we do.

This is because this is the only action a gambler can take for safety. On the other hand chasing winnings to restore something that has been lost is really not recommended, maybe we have not heard often that we must be a gambler who is responsible for whatever results will occur at the end of the session because it is not easy or even very difficult to chase something that has been lost in gambling and we have seen a lot of evidence that people who take this action end up losing more, The reason for this is because as you said, gambling is not a place to earn but only an activity for leisure and this is also the reason why we must remain firm in applying limits and self-control, we must control gambling and not gambling that controls us, because this is very dangerous.
Winning and losing are the results that all gamblers will get and it depends on each gambler's attitude because if they are wise in using their gambling, they will not want to try to recover their losses or chase their winnings but will continue to stop gambling. They don't want to experience more losses; even if they win, they also won't want to chase even bigger wins. We have to be careful when gambling and whatever results we get, it can make us continue gambling because the temptation of gambling is very strong to attract us back to gambling. Only good self-control can prevent us from stopping our gambling activities because we are trying to prevent bigger losses.

Recovering the losses we have experienced will only increase the number of losses even greater and it is not worth doing because it means we can lose even more money. If our goal in gambling is just to have fun in our free time, we can stop gambling even if we lose because losing when gambling is normal. Even when we win, we will not try to chase a bigger win because we know that it could cause us to experience a loss that could take all our money, including the winnings. We cannot continue to chase victory because it will be difficult and there is no guarantee that we will be able to win again after winning. We can only stop ourselves from gambling and rest to reduce tension because there will be increased emotions after getting results from gambling and that is what we must avoid.
1063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They know the truth but they don't want to accept it, publicly on: January 25, 2024, 04:41:31 PM
I don't agree with this cause I have seen wealthy men gamble like they're super rich and still get involve in gambling, giving their money out is not a problem but if any day turns out to be a lucky day then they'll definitely cashout the money, if you gamble for the money doesn't mean others gamble for the money like what you said, even if I'm so interested in the money I will not make it look so obvious to the extend of selling my  property, it sounds so stupid. Of course no one will freely deposit their money without expecting something in return this is just natural but the way you sound makes it look like if I don't win then I will cry or kill myself, that's what you're trying to say.
Money is a factor in someone getting involved in gambling even though at first they don't think about money matters. But as time goes by and they become more involved in gambling, they realize that they can win some money, even a lot of money. But if you don't have a lot of money, it's best not to gamble because it could make you lose all the money you have and that's painful. But some people sell their property just to gamble and make money and these are the people who don't think about themselves anymore and just fall deeper into gambling. We must be able to avoid this because sooner or later, we will experience even bigger problems that we will find difficult to overcome. And if we really want to gamble, we should prepare as much money as we can afford so that we won't gamble more than we can afford.
1064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another question? Tell me your average amount per bet and your monthly income? on: January 25, 2024, 04:18:35 PM
My monthly income is not a stable one but it’s always between $100 minimum and the maximum I have earned a month is about $300 which is adding both my earnings here in the forum which is not stable and my earning from my place of work.

Funding my betting account most times I do find it about $20 which i use for my betting activities through out the month but most times this amount varies sha but I always try as much as I can not to break limit, and any week or month I have enough winnings i usual do play and wager from the winning profit after I might have withdrawn out the larger part of the winnings.
You have done what needs to be done to try to limit the amount of money you spend gambling. We don't need to use a lot of money to gamble, especially if we don't gamble too often so we can avoid losing a lot. We also don't need to increase the amount of money beyond the amount we have allocated for gambling because that will only increase the risk of losing even greater.

Using $20 is enough for you and me because that is the amount we can afford to lose. And even though that amount will vary because it depends on how much we earn, that's okay because we also have to adjust it to our income so we need to use enough money to gamble.
1065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been able to win a game given to you in the dream? on: January 25, 2024, 03:12:35 PM
I have never won the match of the dream I had. But I think that things like that must exist and be experienced by some gamblers so that they believe in their dreams and place bets on their team. But it may be very rare to find someone who has a dream about a match where he will follow the instructions from his dream in placing his bet. It would be better if the man didn't have to be sad because he didn't follow his grandfather's instructions in the dream. After all, it was all over. Maybe later, similar dreams will come to him, so now, he doesn't need to feel sad anymore. Maybe it looks strange to us because we haven't experienced it but not for those who have experienced it and followed the instructions from the dream. And some win from the guidance of their dreams.
1066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a social or casual good guesser make better gambling prediction carrier? on: January 25, 2024, 02:50:13 PM
What the gambler did was just guessing and nothing more, besides we all know that anything that has to do with betting depends on luck and no one can be sure if it because if gamblers are so dem sure about their games no body will ever stake low on their bets.
They will want to win huge money that's why no body will want to stake low in a game that they are sure of.

However, as the man guesses and get 10 correctly, that does not mean that he will continue to win everyday as there will surely be a dwy when he will lose.
When he is just guessing, it seems like it will be difficult for him to determine who wins or loses, especially if it is a sports bet, because in sports betting, everything will depend on his analysis and also his luck. Maybe he can win some matches, but he also won't always be able to win every match, even though by using analysis, someone won't always be able to win. There will be changes in a match so they can't always predict correctly.

That's what he has to realize when he decides to take part in sports betting, especially since he also has to be able to get more information that will help him analyze each piece of information. It's not easy because it requires good skills to predict accurately.
1067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: January 25, 2024, 02:20:14 PM
Women are more cautious though I can say both can be very careful with their bets but it will only depend on how committed they are and if there’s a data supporting this claim then it can be a good market for the women gamblers. In terms of profit, we have the same probability of winning its just that having a more responsible attitude can bring you in a good place, i’d hope that everyone of us here will become better on our chosen field.
If it is a cautious attitude, perhaps it is true that women can be more careful than men. But some men can also be more careful, although not many. But there are other things we don't know about women so we can just say that women will be more careful than men when they bet. Maybe women are more afraid or worried if they use too much money or are afraid of losing a lot so they are very strict in using their money. Or there are other things that we don't know why women seem to be better able to manage their money when gambling. But whatever it is, both men and women must be able to control themselves while gambling and not use a lot of money so they don't lose too much.
1068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: January 25, 2024, 02:03:58 PM
Certainly,my cousin is a perfect example,he kept loosing and loosing yet he find it so difficult to withdraw, there's this strong feeling he have that some day some time that his gonna hit the jackpot he kept trying, till a week before last he hit about millions of naira

Not that he was addicted to it,he use to bet only on Saturday and Sunday he used his initiative even his wife was not aware that he is a gambler not until he hit the pot,that's when he got his wife involved.
This is normal for your cousin to experience because he may have gambled too often so he finds it hard to leave it. And even though he has lost many times, he still does not give up gambling and will still return to gambling another day. Many people act like your cousin and many of them even spend more money just to get satisfaction from gambling.

Even if he wins later, he probably won't stop gambling. He will return to gambling again another day because it has become a habit for him and he already enjoys his gambling activities. But he made a mistake by involving his wife in gambling, too, because it could cause them financial difficulties.
1069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout or wait till the end? on: January 25, 2024, 01:42:34 PM
I think it's better to just cashout. indeed, if you continue, you can get more winnings, but you also need to realize that if it happens the other way around. it will only make us think even more, why didn't I cashout at that time.
all goes back to peace of mind and a sense of not being greedy for victory. if you feel enough, just cashout. that's my opinion anyway
There are many people out there that have an all or nothing mentality, so when faced with a dilemma like this they do not like the idea of taking the middle ground and cash out now, even if this means taking smaller profits.

What they want is to obtain the whole amount of money and beat the casinos, and while a few gamblers will be lucky enough to achieve this, we know very well the majority of those that refuse to cash out will lose the bet and regret their decision for a very long time.
Many people are greedy and want bigger results than results that already exceed the amount of their bet in front of them. They are still waiting until the match is finished so that their winnings will be even bigger. It's okay if the result of the match gives us a win, but we don't know for sure what will happen after the match is finished. The team we choose may lose and result in us losing the bet or vice versa. But it makes sense to cash in the results we get at that time, even though it's not the total amount we can win, because there is no certainty about a match. Instead of regretting later because we didn't cash it out, it's better for us to immediately make the decision to cash it out and leave the casino.
1070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The need to control your emotions as a football fan. on: January 25, 2024, 01:27:39 PM
I think that was rude. I will never do that no matter what. Money can only be found again but the reputation will hard to be restored once it was tarnished. So, all must be careful on how they will carry their selves especially in public places. There is no need to predict what will be the consequences of doing it because it is already obvious. Yes, anything is possible in sports and as well as in gambling.

There are instances that it was actually unreal or manipulated. But again we need to control our tempter when things like this happen. And we should realize that it was also our fault because why we are here in the first place? I guess that means we agreed about the potential risks that that can occur.
I also think like you that it's rude but that's how it happens. Those who are already emotional will not think about the impact or risks they will experience because they just want to express their emotions until they are satisfied by destroying public facilities. And we have often seen this happen everywhere and it causes great damage to the city. Such potential will probably be there and it depends on each person's response to it. We just need to be careful in our actions so that we don't experience bad incidents.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: While placing bet what comes your mind on: January 25, 2024, 01:15:29 PM
for someone to into this it depends on the amount they are using to gamble at the moment and if they used the amount they haven't used before to gamble and it happens they lost it then fine such person can never be in happy mood because he has lost what he weren't set for, so what happened next is either go home and think about what they have lost or go somewhere else to catch fun with people around until the mood is being eased away. That is it's very crucial and compulsory that before using any amount to stake it should be that win the game is lost he can withstand the pain without having to affect other people around them.
That is why before someone starts gambling, he needs to set limits for his gambling and does not need to increase his bets even though whispers tell him to increase his bets. When playing gambling, you only need to use enough money so that if you lose, you don't lose too much money, making you feel sad because you have lost the money. If you can restrain yourself by not increasing the bet amount or depositing more money, you will only use enough money and will leave the casino once you have had enough of gambling. There is no desire to recover from losses or chase wins because you have had enough of gambling. This is very important for us gamblers to remember so that we don't exceed our set limits.
1072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 25, 2024, 01:00:56 PM
Gambling should never take part in debt, gambling usually results in losing. Those who don't know the strategy are basically facing losses.The way you participate in the loan is to suffer serious losses. Gambling is one such addiction where people become highly addicted, once addicted people cannot stop gambling and due to their mental stress they face losses quickly. You should have started gambling with little money as your amount of money is very large.
Playing gambling should not use borrowed money because it will give us problems where we have to think about how to return the borrowed money. We don't know whether we can win or lose from gambling while returning the loan money is something we do. But people who may be addicted to gambling will not think about this and will continue to look for loan money to continue gambling. They only care about the gambling game so they won't think about the impact they will have later. This should not happen to us, so we have to really take good care of ourselves and only gamble with the money we have, and even then, there must be clear boundaries in gambling.
1073  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 25, 2024, 12:04:31 PM
but as far as the impact on the gambler is concerned everything will go through the family. Because the gambler will spend his money on gambling he will not see anything in front of his eyes except the intoxication of winning. When the property is sold or even own house the wife will not care where the children will go but if the money is borrowed people will come home and it will affect the family.
The family will be affected by the addict because the addict has used his family's money to gamble without limits. His wife and children will suffer the impact and there will be great disappointment for them, so this may last forever. However, this is a terrible ordeal for his family, and if the addict does not come to his senses, he will lose his family, and he will be the one who will regret everything, but it will be too late. That is why we must be able to prevent this from happening by always implementing limits when playing gambling so that we do not experience large losses and also experience gambling addiction, which will make things difficult for all family members. Even members of our extended family may also suffer the impact.
1074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling and religious restrictions on: January 25, 2024, 11:46:47 AM
Almost all religions that are widely adhered to by humans have principles that prohibit and require their adherents not to get involved in and avoid all forms of gambling. However, when it comes to the decision to be involved in gambling or not, it is up to each individual, this is a personal choice and can be influenced by each individual's religious beliefs.

However, it would be wiser if you were able to follow the principles taught by religion and you must be able to obey them and respect them. Because this is related to your balance and spiritual capital. Therefore, for any individual who adheres to a religion, I suggest considering the impact of gambling on your beliefs and principles.
Yes, it will be up to each individual and it can be seen how they choose. They already know that religion prohibits it but they still gamble even though they already know about it. And that will be the responsibility of each individual who still does it. This is the same as other things that are also prohibited by religion but they still do or use them. It is their choice and no one can force it unless they know their religion prohibits it.

Maybe those who still gamble think gambling is entertainment and they don't gamble too often. They think that they can still control themselves and not be triggered to gamble excessively. That is their choice too. We should return it to each individual to choose.
1075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: January 25, 2024, 11:07:00 AM
1% is really that actually very small if we do really talk about realistically even on how big or small our salary is but it would really be that best if you do really know on how to make yourself having that control and moderation on which we do know that this is something that would be needed by most gamblers because this is where we do usually fails.
The most important thing in gambling is really that having good moderation and control towards self because if you do missed out on doing so then expect that you would really be having that huge spending
and losing tons of money and compromising the amounts on which it is really that something that meant for other important or priorities.

If you are someone whose really that bad when it comes to fund management then it would really be just that wise or better that you shouldnt really be touching gambling in the first place.
You should really be that careful when it comes to decision on playing gambling which we know that this is something that cant be known whether you would be lucky or not.
It's a very small amount, but if we aim to use gambling as a way of having fun, that amount is still acceptable, especially since we really want to prevent losing a lot so we don't want to see a lot of money wasted at the gambling table. However, this amount will vary because our incomes are different, and we just need to adjust it to our family expenses so that the allocation of funds for gambling will not interfere with the family's daily needs. We should indeed have moderation and self-control in gambling so that we don't gamble excessively, especially if we only gamble for fun in our spare time. We also don't need to use a lot of money to gamble because that can trigger us to want to continue gambling and there is a possibility that we will experience even more losses.

Yes, we should try to be wise in using gambling and if we know that gambling can cause our money to run out, we should not touch gambling at all. We have to be careful in making decisions about gambling or not using gambling to get pleasure because many other activities can provide pleasure. We also don't have to gamble to get entertainment or even make money because we know that we need to find a job to make money.

Exactly if someone use only 1% for gambling then perhaps he leave gambling after losing this money because he will not afford more than this and will eventually leave gambling after consecutive losses. Although you will not win big jackpot by using 1% but your losses will also be not too big that it become hard for you to handle.

For other things if we use more money then it will not be a matter for concern because there are many useful activities for which a person should use money but if useless activities are accepted and losing of money is more than winning like that of in gambling then first of all don't do this or if you consider that you cannot stop yourself then utilize minimum percentage.
That's why we have to really limit our gambling if we don't want to see more losses or lose more and more money. We've seen what happens to people who already gamble using more money so we don't need to try. We may find it difficult to win the jackpot, but it might come to us, especially if we can get lucky. So instead of using a lot of money to chase the jackpot, we should let the jackpot come to us. It won't result in losing much money because we just gamble in moderation.

And there are indeed many other things that can benefit us and even though we also use money to do other things, we can get something useful for our lives. So it would be better for us than using money to gamble, especially a lot of money, because we could experience more losses with that much money. We must be aware of this, so we must implement the necessary restrictions to gamble moderately.

Risk free gambling will give you better gambling experience. When you use 1% of your investment to gamble it will never stress you out.  Because you will never care if you lose that amount. So it will let you keep yourself in control. And if you can control yourself, you will get the real fun of gambling because then you can enjoy the gambling games without any fear. So it will be very good for you.  So those who have a fixed budget for gambling especially small amounts like 1-3% I always support them.
By setting a limited amount of money for gambling, we have tried to reduce the risk so that it does not become even greater. And it can prevent us from the frustration that would arise if we experienced a lot of defeats. With the amount that we have prepared, we can remain in control and only play enough gambling without any desire to continue gambling again. But we still have to control ourselves because in gambling, many temptations may be more serious that will come to us, so we have to be able to restrain ourselves well from these temptations.
1076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: January 25, 2024, 10:41:24 AM
If you just become a gambler, you won't be able to make it into a successful career. As you said, gambling all the time is also useless. Unconsciously, we actually experience more losses than wins. I have never found a successful person because of gambling, even though he is good at controlling it. when they gamble, they will ultimately fail, well even though someone may be successful, maybe he is part of the casino itself or a dealer, whatever gambling we play in a casino, we know that the dealer will always win against us.

So how can it be believed that gambling can be a successful career for every gambler, basically many people misunderstand gambling, people don't realize that gambling is only created for fun, not a place to make money, let alone find success, that's clear. It's impossible, in fact, I have a neighbor who has been gambling for decades and his life has not improved and his life is just like that, the money his son gives him is often used for gambling, even though he should be able to enjoy life with more positive activities as an elderly person with his family. , but that's how difficult it is to break a habit that has stuck. the gambling we do only enriches the dealers in the casinos themselves because they are the ones who own and run the business, not us.
No, it is a difficult thing to earn or achieve a successful career from gambling. That will only increase our losses and we will lose a lot of money while we will also not be able to succeed from gambling. I think there must be people who are successful because of gambling, but people like that are not easy to find because they are very good at hiding themselves and we would never think that they could be successful from gambling. But most of them have failed in trying to achieve success from gambling and lost a lot of money. We should use gambling as intended and if we cannot afford to lose a lot of money, we should completely limit our gambling activities.

People have the misconception of seeing gambling as a way to make money because they see some people successfully making money from gambling. They don't see how much money they have used to gamble until they can win a lot of money. Gambling is indeed intended to pleasure people, but instead, they gamble beyond their limits, causing their lives to fall apart, and they can no longer get back on their feet. Yes, it is indeed difficult to stop the habit of gambling and it requires more effort so that you can reduce your gambling activities slowly. He also needs help and encouragement from the people around him so that he can go through the process of reducing his gambling activities until he completely abandons gambling.

But all of this is quite fatal mistake, they are not getting monetary profits but losses which could be even worse, leading to destruction and unfortunately there has been no awareness until now before they are truly at their lowest point, namely destruction.
Making money from gambling is very possible, but in context like this, not being gambler, but rather business person or building gambling site, this will cost lot of money, but if it is successful, the profits cannot be calculated.
Just look at the more and more gamblers are experiencing ruin and the casino business people are getting bigger and bigger in making profits, the mindset of gambling in making money and priorities should be removed from the minds of gamblers.
This is not just about money but also about survival and psychological health problems that can easily become disturbed, they will be like people who have lost their way in life if all these problems have occurred.

We here have often given the same ideas and discussions and it will always be better to be businessman or professional worker so that can get consistent results, then gambling is just place to find entertainment and make feel happy.
Having awareness when playing gambling is very necessary to avoid losses that can increase more and more, especially if we start to experience losses more often. And if a person cannot realize his mistake in gambling, it is only a matter of time before it will be shown to him that the destruction of his life has come and all because he has gambled too often. When he realizes it, it is too late, and even if he wants to recover, it will not be easy because this requires greater effort, especially if he has a serious gambling addiction. There are indeed people who can get success from gambling, but it's not many and we don't know who they are. We don't need to try it, especially if we only often lose from gambling, so we have to realize that we are better off using gambling as entertainment and nothing more. Many gamblers have had their lives ruined because of excessive gambling, so we don't need to follow what they do and be more responsible for ourselves.

We have advised many people to try to reduce their gambling activities so that they do not get more involved in gambling and can also enjoy gambling as entertainment. That would be better than trying to chase wins or recover losses where we don't know how much money we have to use. Apart from that, we can experience losing more money if we try to continue gambling.

indeed we should not have to spend or deposit a lot of money on gambling because it is a dangerous thing for ourselves, I myself deposit my money with the budget amount and with the amount of bets that are set and I do it consistently, I gamble using 10% from the income I get monthly. because I think that amount is enough, as long as it is done consistently and with self-control, I try to meet the budget set for a month.

Enjoying gambling is indeed one of the keys, because of course I don't feel any emotions that trigger me to deposit more money than the budget I have set. and because if my monthly income is $500 then I think 10% is more than enough. That's why I don't put money back into gambling, and I know that gambling excessively will only ruin my life in the long run.
How about you?
You are right and I agree with what you say. Using 10% of the income we get is enough for gambling, and we can probably use that percentage for a month, and we don't need to deposit more money into the gambling account. The important thing is that we can stay within our limits and not try to increase the amount of money because that could disrupt our family's finances. With that percentage, I think if we don't gamble too often, there might still be some left over, so we won't use a lot of money to gamble.

I still try to limit my gambling activities and use limits on the amount of money I can afford. Like you, I also try not to deposit more money than that budget because I know it will only trigger me to gamble longer in each session so there is a possibility that I will experience more losses. Playing gambling excessively will indeed destroy our lives in the long term, especially with the risk of losing even more money and that is what we must avoid so that we can still enjoy gambling as entertainment.

It is very easy to say this, but it is still quite difficult to be able to practice it and apply it to the gambling activities that we often do. and what is clear is that this is quite important and crucial, because this can help us manage risk in gambling.

I really agree with what you said, having limits and setting a budget when gambling is an important step so that our financial balance is maintained and also in preventing the risk of excessive losses that could occur in gambling. Apart from having to have limits and setting a budget, it seems we also need to set winning limits, namely by determining a fairly realistic profit target and after achieving it, consider taking a break from gambling activities and enjoying the winnings. Furthermore, don't forget to limit the time we spend gambling, because this can help us avoid addiction and ensure that the gambling activities we do do not interfere with other activities that are much more important than just gambling.

And even though we have previously set a limit on the budget we spend on gambling, when we don't have enough budget for gambling, it would be better for us to take a break from this activity until our finances return to normal, rather than having to take out a loan or use other important financial sources for gambling. Never act stupidly by spending all the money we have to be able to gamble.
Learning and applying it is very difficult and requires a strong effort to get used to doing what is necessary for gambling. But we still have to do that if we don't want to go too far in gambling and can still enjoy gambling games as entertainment. By practising this, we can manage the risks of gambling and not go too far in gambling.

By knowing what it takes to not go too far in gambling, we can prepare ourselves to prevent defeat after defeat and can also use gambling as entertainment that provides pleasure. Setting limits and a budget when gambling is a must so that we don't gamble beyond the limits to avoid losing a lot. We can also prevent the risk of losses, which could become greater with these limits because we will stop gambling if we have experienced several losses or won several times. But it is difficult if we set a winning limit because winning will not be easy and requires luck or good analysis to win. The important thing is that by having limits when playing gambling, we already know when we have to stop gambling and can leave the casino easily without any desire to chase wins or recover losses.

We also won't force ourselves to continue gambling, especially when we don't have enough budget and would prefer to rest and do other activities. We know that gambling is entertainment that doesn't need to be done too often, so we don't depend on gambling to get entertainment. We will do other things that can pleasure so that we can divert our minds from gambling for a while.

And in some families, both buying lottery tickets and participating in gambling is considered a tradition of this family.  Then, of course, children, following their parents, will also participate in gambling.  And their children too.  And this can continue for a long time, several generations. 
If we are talking about buying lottery tickets quite infrequently, then such a tradition is still not entirely bad and destructive for the family.  Sometimes she can even win some household appliances, for example.  And this is a very joyful event for them. 
But if the family tradition is participation in gambling, then this is much more dangerous, simply because it is not known in advance how much the child in this family will be able to resist the passion and euphoria of gambling when he becomes an adult.  And this is already justified by his inner self-awareness that this is a family tradition that he cannot break.  This can lead to the emergence of new gaming addicts, which is obviously a problem for all other family members.
This means that it is quite difficult to prevent children from gambling because there is a family tradition of telling children to gamble. This can obviously make their children buy lottery tickets because by helping their father, mother, or other family members, the children can also buy lottery tickets with their money. This will make their children addicted to gambling, especially when they grow up, because they are used to buying lottery tickets, and it will become a habit in their family to gamble. These children are still very vulnerable to their emotions. If they cannot win, there is a possibility that they will buy lottery tickets again and maybe even buy large amounts following what their family members do. It can cause all family members to become addicted to gambling, and if it is not treated immediately, the family will fall apart, and there will be more problems that will come to the family.

Outcomes and results would really be that determined whether you would really be doing bad or good into the things that you have done. If you do let yourself that being too engaging with
gambling and make those kind of spending on an impulsive manner then expect on what would be the results on which it would really be that negative. If you are really that mindful about those good things and bad things on which it would really be just that right that you should really that know on what to do. You cant really just that make yourself that let to those negative things to happen into your life. There are people who could really be able to make themselves get out and there are ones who do let themselves getting wrecked with it.
The results we get from playing gambling can be winning or losing, depending on our luck so we must be able to accept it sincerely. We should not try to chase winnings, let alone recover winnings, because gambling is not for such purposes, but gambling is a place to have fun. That is why we should not gamble too often so that we can still control ourselves well and not place too much hope in gambling or want to seek pleasure only from gambling. We have to realize that we don't need to use gambling to get that pleasure because we can get pleasure from other interesting things that we can do.
