1101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What strategies do you adopt that can help to make millions in sport betting on: January 24, 2024, 11:02:30 AM
We should not be too eager to win a lot of money or make millions of dollars because it will be difficult to get it. We have to try one by one the strategies that will give us that big win and it will take time before we can find the right strategy. And even if you use a lot of money to place bets on sports betting, it also doesn't guarantee you can win a lot of money in one bet. If the odds are big, you can win a lot of money but we won't always have that. We can only try and keep trying, but in trying this, we also have to pay attention to the amount of money we use to avoid financial difficulties. I have never won big in sports betting and don't have a special strategy to give me that big win.

I agree, casino just give an offer, decision not from them. well, It's not just about casinos, gambling is now emerging in the mobile games. we can find several mobile game where the application does not provide gambling, but users can send in-game items (chips) each other , making this game used as gambling by its users. And this game does not need KYC to send chips to other users. So, if user win or get a jackpot, the user only needs to send the item to other user who wants to buy it. I believe, this kind of game also give effect makes children trapped in gambling at a young age.
It is so true that if the younger generation decides to gamble, it is their mistake because they should know that gambling carries the risk of losing money. They don't need to gamble but use their time to do other useful things. I think I've seen the type of game you mean and it's true, they can send chips to other users. I've even seen some kids buying and selling those chips and if I'm not mistaken, it's on buying and selling sites out there. And it can indeed trap teenagers into getting involved in gambling at a young age, where they are very vulnerable to knowing something they don't already know. This will make them start to get to know gambling if they see gambling advertisements, and eventually, they will start gambling more often.
1103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's The Weirdest Alibi Of Gamblers So They Can Continue Gambling? on: January 24, 2024, 09:49:01 AM
The strangest thing I have ever heard from a gambling addict, to justify his bad behavior in gambling. He reasoned that the gambling he was doing was just to fill his free time, but he left his duties and obligations to be able to gamble. That's a very strange reason, because what he said didn't match what he did. And gambling can make us addicted, where we are always in a hurry to visit the casino, but feel reluctant to leave, even though we have finished playing time and have to go back to work and complete our tasks and obligations. So without good self-control and good time management, this gambling will only lead us to big losses that we have never experienced before, where pleasure suddenly turns into misery just because of our bad behavior in gambling.
People who often gamble will use many reasons that might sound strange to us, but that's what they are. They won't care if their reasons sound strange to other people just because they want to return to gambling more often than before, even though they have other activities to do. These people seem to be addicted to gambling, so they always want to return to gambling as soon as they take a break from gambling. They don't think that returning to gambling more often can make them experience difficulties until they eventually become addicted to gambling. And when they become addicted to gambling, they will experience even greater difficulties and not know how to solve them. Even those who are doing an activity want to get back to gambling in a hurry because they feel they cannot miss any moment of the casino. Even though the casino is still there and the casino will always issue promotions that attract more attention from gamblers.
1104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 24, 2024, 09:24:31 AM
Does that take it to be risky if not I even prefer to gamble online than to gamble offline nobody will even know what you are doing on your cell phone if not for you and it keeps privacy just like Bitcoin Grin and if I win I will also keep it to myself because of too much attention and that is why I will ever prefer to keep my things private even for security reasons. and does that think gambling is risky that same gambling has helped a lot of people if we are looking at the negative aspects of it we should also. look at the positive aspect of it. some people are built from that same gambling that is risky. and gambling issues are supposed to be personal. I gamble a LOT and I know what gambling has done for me so anybody that does not want to gamble should just leave it alone. if you know how to gamble well in the time of game selection and sports analysis then you will know that gambling is easy and the interesting about me is that I will keep gambling.
That's good because at least you have tried to protect yourself from the words of other people who don't like seeing you gambling and you have also hidden the assets or funds you have so that no one knows. We really have to be careful when we want to play online gambling because we don't know who will talk bad about us. Gambling problems are indeed personal problems, but we must remember that gambling problems can spread and develop so that they will have an impact on the people around us. If we don't know how to use gambling, we will probably fall deeper into gambling so that we will not feel pleasure from gambling but will only feel frustration and stress because we lose more. We also have to remember that whether we are safe or unsafe when playing gambling will depend on how we use gambling. If we are always careful when gambling, we will be safe and vice versa.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do i handle my first gambling experience on: January 24, 2024, 08:59:18 AM
If the first experience is tempting or vice versa, Then the decision is up to you, do you want to continue or stop. The risk of losing will always be felt by any gambler, no matter whether it is a senior gambler or a gambler who has just set foot in an offline or online casino. Gambling is not a job that can bring in money, not a place to invest and not a place to solve all the problems you are facing.

You must be prepared to face risks when gambling because this is not a place to make money easily, luck may come your way but tomorrow you will get disappointing results. Always control your emotions when you are in a tight situation and use cold money so you don't get too stressed when you lose.
Those who are starting to get to know gambling will be curious about the results they receive, whether they win or lose, so most of them will continue gambling to satisfy their curiosity. But for some gamblers who remember that they don't need to return to gambling too often because they already know that they have a greater chance of losing than winning, they will not do it. Instead, they will look for other activities that will not use much or even no money. They know that gambling requires money and carries the risk of losing, which, if they are not aware of, the loss will be even greater. The risk of losing will always be there, and we will not be able to win easily, so instead of taking the risk of losing too much, we should control ourselves and always take care of ourselves when gambling. And to control ourselves from the first experience in gambling is to try to accept whatever results we receive from gambling and don't think we can win on another occasion because many people try but they end up losing again.
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 24, 2024, 08:46:04 AM
Cheers to you, friend, I hope you can quickly pay off your bank loan, so far or since I gambled, I have never done anything very fatal financially, even though I made a mistake, it probably only took 1-4 weeks to recover financially, from your experience I can pressure myself to gamble appropriately or gamble with what I am willing to lose
By knowing other people's stories about their gambling experiences, we can learn to avoid it if it will bring us harm so that we don't have to experience it. You have made a mistake, and you are lucky to be able to recover from it in a short time. That is an experience you must remember and avoid again because it is a mistake you have made in the past. That's why we have to really put pressure on ourselves when playing gambling not to use money that we can't afford to avoid more losses. We must control the use of our money and must not gamble excessively. And what we must always remember is that we don't need to borrow money to gamble, otherwise we will get into trouble later.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: January 24, 2024, 08:29:11 AM
Yes people who have jobs and have weekly or monthly income spend all that income on gambling but in this case they destroy their careers they don't do any unethical things with people. Here are those gamblers who participate in gambling by borrowing from people who are unable to earn money. They become addicted to gambling in such a way that if they do not get money from someone to gamble with, they misbehave with them or commit suicide. And all these gamblers are made up of uneducated people.
It is a mistake if they spend their income to gamble because they will not have any more money and will have difficulty meeting their daily needs. Those who want to gamble should be able to allocate a certain amount of money to be used for gambling so that they still have another amount of money to use for their daily needs. That is to avoid gambling addiction because we know that people who gamble have the possibility of returning to gambling another day. And if they can allocate some money, they won't try to take part of the money for other purposes. They will still have a chance to win from the amount of money allocated for gambling, but when they win, they should immediately stop gambling to avoid things that could make them gamble again. But if they decide to gamble again and lose, it will make them frustrated.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Woes of gambling on: January 24, 2024, 08:06:41 AM
They deserved to receive that, how can someone blindly use a service without looking to the reputation and it's disadvantages. Most people should be familiar with the technology since the pandemic forces people to use it, there's no excuse to not check the site's credibility.
And because of the pandemic, people are familiar with online casinos so they try to learn about them before they use them. However, not all people new to online casinos learn the rules or try to get to know the casino's services. They unconsciously use the casino to gamble without paying attention to what they must do before using it. Well, it is their fault and they will suffer the consequences by experiencing many problems after they gamble.

If say fair is not fair then gambling is full of injustice towards gamblers, how could it not be because the chance of gambler losing is much greater than winning and the ones who gain the most from gambling are only those in the casino business or gambling site.
But all of these are risks that definitely exist and all of that is how gambling works so as gamblers we must understand it and be able to accept it, whatever the outcome of gambling, whether winning or losing, we must be able to accept it with wise and responsible attitude.
In gambling, justice cannot be completely achieved by gamblers and casinos provide justice to gamblers only in the form of transparency and service that truly equalizes one gambler with another, plus there is no manipulation that occurs.
This is justice that the casino can provide to all gamblers who are customers there and you are right that we must be able to choose the right casino or gambling site to get that justice.
Even though we know that in gambling we are the only gamblers who experience the biggest financial losses, but we can think of it as payment for having fun and satisfying ourselves with what we find enjoyable.
If gamblers are aware of the risks of gambling, which can make them lose a lot of money, they will not want to use a lot of money to gamble. They will only gamble moderately and leave the casino once they have enough. Moreover, they don't have many chances to win because gambling does not guarantee that someone can win as often as they want. This is what gamblers must be aware of because there is no guarantee of winning. They must be able to limit themselves from excessive gambling. We also don't know whether the casino is fair or unfair, but as long as we gamble at a casino with a good reputation, they will not cheat their members. A casino with a good reputation will always maintain its reputation by providing services and will not cheat its members because this will impact the reputation it has built. Therefore, gamblers should be able to control themselves when gambling so that they do not experience large losses so that they only gamble for fun and will not experience bad problems.
1109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 24, 2024, 07:47:00 AM
That's true, and I think it's because they misunderstand gambling so they experience many detrimental losses. It also seems difficult to realize that they are addicted to gambling, because indirectly by them always gambling frequently, it indicates that they are addicted to gambling, and not only do they not realize it, they also won't admit that they are addicted to gambling. because it may not be acceptable if there are people who think they are addicted to gambling, even though that is the reality.

as I said before, they must be able to introspect themselves to be able to avoid major risks that will occur. If someone has a wise mindset, I think they will never take rash actions, especially with gambling which is closely tied to money and money is of course an important thing in life, only crazy people spend a lot of money on gambling, even though it is their right. but I think their families will also say or think the same as me, because no family is happy with the behavior of a family member who is addicted to gambling.
Many of them have a misunderstanding about using gambling. They think that gambling is a place to make money using money, even though gambling is a place to have fun where people come to the casino to have fun. Even though some people win some money, it is just a bonus for those who enjoy gambling as entertainment. But those who misunderstand it don't realize that gambling should be used as such and not to make money. They will only become addicted to gambling, which they will not even realize. They can't stop gambling because they are still trying to make money from gambling even though it is difficult for them.

You are right in saying that doing self-introspection can avoid big risks that could come at any time. They can prevent big losses and don't have to lose a lot of money because they can think wisely about using gambling as entertainment. They know that they only need to use enough money to gamble so that they don't experience any problems from gambling. They will not want to risk losing even more money because they know that many people have already lost a lot of money, so they keep trying to prevent it.

Of course, if you tell a child from a very young age that gambling is good and correct, he will take it as an axiom and will believe and follow it all his life. 
But on the other hand, how many fathers are there who simply abandon their children to their fate?  They leave the family, leave their children without a father, their mother alone continues to take care of them.  So things happen differently in life.  Sometimes men do not participate in raising children at all. 
Then there is no point in remembering the example of gambling and involving your child in such games.  Because the father, it’s not a dad, but a “ghost rider” appeared for a moment, and disappeared from the child’s life in the fog of everyday life...
Many fathers have abandoned their families, just leaving them without paying attention to how their families are. And if a father tells his son that gambling is good and right, his son will follow suit and try to be the best at gambling. However, the child does not realize that this will only lead him into a gambling addiction, and he does not know when the gambling addiction will come. A child who is used to buying his father lottery tickets can follow what his child does because the child has money from gifts from his father or other adults. And when his father bought his lottery ticket, they would also buy the ticket and tell the shop that it was his father's.

No party is getting deceived in this phycology-business relationship with a signed agreement. The gambler should play victim when the casino isn't complying to the agreement but shouldn't make things look otherwise if the fault comes from his, the player's, end. Casino takes responsibility when need arises as regards to the treatment of gamblers or complaints of different issues like withdrawal or deposit dispute. They don't leave it without solving the trouble. But gamblers allow their troubles to compile without looking into solving few of them. These signs visit every gambler, some solve it while few more wouldn't care about the troubles. The need to know how they feel about themselves since they started gambling, is required in regulating the thoughts of gamblers.
Gamblers should check the casino before registering if they do not want to become victims of unfair circumstances. However, gamblers who do not pay attention to this will become victims of casino scams and will not be able to solve their problems because the casino is a scam casino. And if that happens, these gamblers will feel the misery of gambling without being able to hope to solve the problem. That is why gamblers should not use gambling beyond their limits and must be able to regulate their mindset so they can control themselves when gambling. If they succeed, they can reduce their money losses and only try to enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Football matches can easily trigger fans to do unreasonable things, which has happened in many places. They can express their emotions easily without predicting what the consequences will be. But anything can happen when it is on the field and when the unseeded team can withstand attacks from the favored team and even win against that team, many people will not believe it. But that's why the world of sports always has its surprises, so we have to understand them and be able to accept them well.
1113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: January 23, 2024, 12:19:53 PM
I honestly don't buy this sentiment.

Patient or not, chances don't change. Slots are supposed to be completely random, games like dice and crash are supposed to be provably fair etc. So no matter your patience, in the end the only variable that always applies to the equation is the house edge.

The only games where I would say patience might count, would be poker (in most of its alterations) and some card games where you can improve your chances. Craps too perhaps.
In this case the patience counts as having to learn some bits of strategy, although not very hard. Probably the game with the most complicated strategy is craps

Yes, there is nothing we can do about slot machines because the game is completely based on luck, all we can do is switch machines when the spins don't feel good.

Poker is not entirely about luck but how we can play on the opponent's emotions so that he fold before opening his cards. Apart from that, we also have to be patient waiting to get good cards before deciding to bet. I like playing poker with large enough capital so that we can put pressure on our opponents. When the balance is low we often can't apply pressure and just wait for the cards to be really good before placing a bet.
But moving to another slot machine also doesn't guarantee that we can win the slot game. We can only try and leave it to the slot machine. We must be patient when playing poker games because they are not as easy as other games. The poker game requires patience, accuracy, and the ability to play it. And this is what makes many people lose when playing poker because they can't hold back their patience when they get bad cards. However, playing gambling also requires patience because when we experience defeat, we are asked to remain patient and continue gambling. But we also have to know the limits of playing gambling, whatever the type of gambling game.
1114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation on: January 23, 2024, 11:52:28 AM
What is a younger generation? Kids? Teenagers? People younger than 18-21? Why they are allowed to gamble at all? The problem than is not increase of gambling risk among youngsters, but problem is with Casinos, if they allow underaged to gamble. Technically 18-21 are still teenagers, but from law point of view they are independent person, adult, that are allowed to do everything.

Anyway, there is a problem and it must be solved. How? Get that younger generation busy, change their interest, make them replace gambling with something else that is fun, entertaining and can bring them money.
the best and easy way? limit their internet access because from that surely we will prevent them from engaging in gambling online (not unless they are free to go in local gambling places)
parents are the one to be administrative towards their children , and if the kids can hide this from them so what more in gambling sites?
I don't think it will be easy to do because we know that today's generation is very dependent on internet connections, they are even willing to ask adults for a wifi connection to check their social media or others. Limiting their internet access likely won't stop them from visiting the sites they're already used to. Maybe parents need to implement other approaches that their children can accept well so that with awareness, their children can start reducing their activities from gambling or other unnecessary things. They also don't need to check their social media accounts too often because that can make them lazy to do other things and it will make them less responsible with themselves.
1115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The worst situation you're in that you regret that you learn about gambling on: January 23, 2024, 11:30:05 AM
Reading about your friend's experience with game addiction shows how it can hurt relationships and money. When you feel like you have to risk something bad can happen. Good things may have happened to many people, including your friend, because they bet, like losing money or having problems in their relationships. In order to beat addiction, this shows how important it is to get help and go to rehab. More people will know about the problems that can happen when people gamble too much if they hear about these kinds of events.
Getting help when you are addicted to gambling is very necessary so you can immediately start the healing process. But the problem is that a gambling addict cannot easily admit his gambling addiction or admit that he often gambles. That's because there is a feeling of discomfort when admitting this to other people. After all, they want to hide it from other people, but it turns out someone knows about it, which makes them admit it. And if he really admits and is willing to try to heal himself, that means he gets a chance to fight for his recovery from gambling addiction. And help from other people in the form of moral support is really needed by people who are addicted to gambling so that they don't feel alone in undergoing the process of healing their gambling addiction.
1116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: January 23, 2024, 11:04:57 AM
This question really sounds ridiculous, is gambling a job? Please it's very wrong to treat gambling as a job, because by doing so, all your hopes and attention will be on it, and it's just a matter of time that you get addicted, which to me is the end game of every gambler.
One thing I have observed about gambling is that, when you make it as your source of income, it put you in a very difficult situation whereby you start chasing, and when you start chasing, that when you lose more, it's really wrong to think you can make a  career out of gambling, the only thing you will achieve by that is to get addicted, nothing more.
Not really, because there are people who try to make gambling their job, and they think that gambling is something they should prioritize. They will gamble more often and will use more money even though that doesn't guarantee they can win. Yes, they can become addicted because they often gamble, and it will be risky for them, so they should rethink making gambling their job. There are still many other things that can be used as their work and they can still look for jobs that can make money. It will be better for them because they can get a good career in their job so they can earn more money. Those who want to make a career in gambling can think about becoming an employee at a casino so that it can provide income for them.

An hour before going to a casino?
I feel relaxed and think about which slot game I want to choose.

After logging in and pulling out the games you are about to play?
I never think much about the outcome of the slot games I play. I just want to enjoy my time playing gambling without any tendencies. I knew there would be losses and was ready to accept the results.

While playing?
I don't feel any adrenaline when playing slots. It was an entertaining moment, including when I lost despite feeling sad.

After you experience successive losses?
I'm not angry. Maybe there is a feeling of disappointment because I lost but I know it was from playing slots. I also don't want to experience more losses so I will immediately stop playing slots.

After you won successively?
If I win, I feel happy but I don't want to continue playing slots. If I continue, I could lose all that winning money and I've been there many times before.

After you log out whether you win or lose?
Calming my nerves is a must for me, especially after a loss, and I have no difficulty doing it. I have calmed my nerves and mind so that I don't think about continuing to gamble.
1118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: January 23, 2024, 09:50:45 AM
The worried mother must have been upset that her son took $15 from her account to bet and then lost it. It's likely that losing money and breaking trust hurt her feelings. It's more possible that the person is mad about the illegal exit than about how the bet turned out. People might still be scared about the trust breach if the kid had won a lot of money, but they might not feel as bad about it. Deal with the broken trust, teach the young person how to be responsible, and come up with good ways to make sure it doesn't happen again.
A mother will be upset when she discovers her son has stolen her money. It's not a matter of the amount of money but because his actions have upset the mother and have clearly damaged her trust in her child, especially if her child uses the money to gamble. This will make his mother even more annoyed and angry because the stolen money was used for gambling, which was not what his mother taught him. Indeed, it would be better for the mother and other family members to make the child aware so that he does not steal again and learns to be responsible for his actions. Maybe a little punishment is enough to wake the child so he won't repeat it. However, this is a lesson for us to always be careful in educating our children.
1119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: January 23, 2024, 09:25:24 AM
Yes you are right It is confusing why someone would lie to others especially when they know they won't succeed. We should be careful and not believe everything we hear. People can trick others for their own benefit. When it comes to gambling it's important to be true to ourselves and not do it just to make others happy or pretend to be someone else. The most important thing is to have fun and be honest.
There's no need to be confused because they seem to be used to telling lies like that. People who lie tend to tell others lies and try to convince people that what they are doing is real. But those who already understand that he has lied still won't believe it and may just accept it without questioning it. Yes, people can deceive other people for their own interests, but other people can also decide to believe them or reject them because if someone lies, there are people who will know that they have lied. These people are usually sharp in judging someone when they say something about themselves.

It's easy to say that you can gamble and be responsible but the thing is, when temptation already dominates you that's where the problem will start to take place, if you unable to control yourself and you are not that good in setting your limitation, you might risk both your money and the job that you should be taking care, it's  mental issue that needed to control. Without that you will always find yourself following your desire and you will be sacrificing everything for the sake of your gambling activities.

It's a must that you should know how to set that limitation if you can' resist the need of playing, though I always have that doubt that it can be balance but maybe there are some who can deal with it and they are really good in controlling their emotions.
Yes, I admit that when temptation comes and tries to control us, we will falter and find it difficult to control ourselves well. We might immediately follow the temptation and deposit more money so we can continue gambling. This is where it is important to practice self-control so that we can position ourselves when we are at work so that we will not be tempted by anything related to gambling. It is important to avoid gambling at work so that we are not tempted and can still focus on doing or completing our work. However, we must prioritize work when we are at work and everything else must wait until we have finished work and are at home.

By having good self-control, we can resist the temptation to control us at work. We can avoid it and keep doing our work until we go home and once we are home, we can gamble casually without having to do anything.
