1321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: January 10, 2024, 09:53:16 AM
It's true, just stay away from casinos and people who invite you back to gambling. indeed, online gambling can be a means to reduce addiction. but if its use is not measured, online gambling addiction can also occur. even with easy access starting from the gambling site itself and easy financial access via cellphones, it will be difficult to control not to make deposits when you lose.
If they can stay away from casinos and from people who encourage them to gamble again, they can really prevent themselves from gambling again. But the problem is that this is unlikely because those who have experienced gambling games will remember every moment they experienced and that is what makes them come back. However, if they have good self-control, they can prevent that from happening to them and say no to people who invite them to gamble again. Problems with gambling only occur in people who cannot control themselves well so they can be tempted to gamble again at another time. If he really knew what his weaknesses were, he would not let that happen and would always exercise self-control so as not to return to gambling. Online gambling can indeed make people return to gambling because people can access online casinos from their smartphones easily.

I think the gambling addiction clinic should use a mix methods and support groups instead of just relying on gambling experts. Gambling experts give good advice but it is good to deal with the emotional and psychological reasons why someone has an addiction of gambling. They should try to set their minds. Because some times people do gambling for relaxation but when they lose money this affect them emotionally.
The gambler may say that they can control their gambling or stop whenever they want. But this is not an easy thing. It's also important to suggest finding other things to do instead of gambling to keep them busy and safe them from to much gambling. In this way they will busy their self to others game and then with the passage of time they will leave gambling.
Yes, that's clear because we know that there are various causes of someone experiencing a gambling addiction, so doctors at gambling addiction clinics must be able to find the right formula for each gambling addict. They may test one formula for one gambler and it may work but that doesn't guarantee it will work for other gambling addicts. That is why doctors have to look for other methods so that they can cure every gambling addict. Doctors must also be able to find the root of the problem that makes someone addicted to gambling so they can use appropriate methods to cure it. Emotional and psychological factors also need to be considered because there may be gambling addicts who think about gambling so deeply that they have difficulty eliminating thoughts about gambling. When they have found the root of the problem, doctors can encourage them to realize their mistakes so that they can rebuild themselves from scratch and start doing things that are not related to gambling.
1323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shared games helped you before? on: January 10, 2024, 09:11:43 AM
I think what is happening there are someone that are addicted to gambling, but he has no money to gamble, so he is gambling with other people's money to satisfy his needs.

He is hoping that you might hit it big with one of his random picks and then you will gift him some money, but he knows those bets come with zero risk... because you are funding these bets.

Stop helping him, friends do not do that to friends.
A friend will not do something that could have a bad impact on his friend. Funding other people to carry out their gambling activities is not a good idea because we have to think about the loss factor that they can receive at any time after they start gambling. And that will make him unable to return the money he borrowed from us so we also feel uncomfortable with that. Maybe he will immediately disappear and avoid us because he cannot pay his debts and we will regret it because we lent him money or funded his gambling activities. This is where we must understand that funding other people, even our friends, risks losing their money, especially if they often gamble and still want to try to make money from gambling. It will not go according to his wishes because this is gambling where we have to know the outcome of gambling is winning and losing and no one knows when he will win.

The question will be, "How to identify scam casinos that are pulling a long-con?"

They usually come out and everything are done correctly, but then after a while... these casinos turn scam. They might run into financial problems or it was a strategy to draw people in and then to scam them, when they have big account balances.

A scam casino will look legit to loads of smaller gamblers, but the moment when highrollers with lots of money enters, then they start with their scam.

Every app making money  must have their scam apps also so am not surprised that scam casinos are out their and before starting any casino have a know of its foundation and its better to give trust to casinos here than give attention to outside casinos and one of the reasons that they said they should keep attention to announcements coming from casinos is because most of the announcements comes with bonus and other opportunities to make money, anyone that clear knows how to use them then be ready to make money the best thing is to be able to different between scams and the once that are legit. Before you hit the wrong casino.
It is difficult to find casinos that will commit fraud because most of them are already experienced in scamming many people. We can only be careful in choosing the casino by doing various research to find a suitable one. We won't be able to get that in a short time because we have to research every casino we come across and get suggestions from other people so that we can get information from various sources. And if there is a casino that launches its application for its smartphone version, we have to be more careful and ensure that the application is safe from viruses and other viruses. But if the casino is a trusted casino and launches the application, we also have to ask the support service first about what we want to know to have peace of mind when installing and using the application.
1325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What casino has the best bonuses? on: January 10, 2024, 08:29:13 AM
Each casino will provide bonuses to its members so we cannot say that one casino offers the best bonuses compared to other casinos. We can only try the casinos one by one and get the bonuses, but we have to think it will require more money because there are terms and conditions to get the bonuses. Every gambler will look for the bonuses they want and their choices will be different from other gamblers, so we have to find out about the bonuses from each casino to decide which casino to take the bonus from. We also need to know what terms and conditions we must follow to get the bonus.
1326  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 10, 2024, 08:10:25 AM
The family will experience the impact of gambling addiction, although the gambler also experiences a more severe impact because he can lose everything he has. Each person in the gambler's circle will experience the impact so it cannot be denied that it will destroy the gambler's relationship with his family and environment if the gambler has wider consequences. It hurts to see a family that can initially be harmonious, peaceful, and happy. But when one of the family members is involved in gambling, this will slowly disappear and be replaced by arguments between them. But behind it all, some children will experience trauma because they have seen their families fall apart. After all, the gambler has developed a gambling addiction and made other family members leave him.
1327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I learnt from a crackhead about gambling on: January 10, 2024, 07:56:44 AM
Addiction to anything could be hard to come out from but their are difference between drug and gambling addiction.
There are many drugs you can get addicted to and the drug addiction would also make your body more resistive to drugs (not all but most). i.e. you need to keep increasing the dose the longer you are into it and as the body get used to it, the withdrawal symptoms are physical and real, so it's difficult to withdraw from drugs at once.
While gambling addiction is more mental and if you have a strong will, you can leave gambling than and there.
But gambling addiction can cause someone to decide to commit suicide because they can no longer bear to see the losses. They took a shortcut after realizing that they had lost everything they had, including their family, so it made them very desperate and they finally chose to end their lives. This is very sad because we see people who commit suicide. After all, they are no longer able to continue their lives because they have experienced huge losses from gambling. Gambling or drug addiction both have a tremendous negative impact on both the addict and the people around him because they only care about themselves rather than those close to them. This is what we must avoid so that it doesn't happen to us, especially if we only want to use gambling as entertainment.
1328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: January 10, 2024, 07:36:00 AM
Of course not, why do you blame others for your stupidity, it's your fault why your money runs out and you always lose. It's bad to blame others especially if they don't do anything, you have to control your emotions if you behave this way because it's not good.
We should not blame other people for what we experience in gambling games because in deciding to gamble, we think about it first before deciding. Other people will not force us to gamble, especially if they know we cannot control ourselves well. They might just say that gambling can give them pleasure so we have to think that we might not be able to have as much fun as they do. Apart from that, we also have to think about the risks of gambling so that we don't risk losing our money. We gamble and experience defeat as a result of our decisions in gambling and it has nothing to do with other people. We can only act wisely in responding to gambling and don't need to follow other people's invitations to gamble so that we will be fine and won't lose money like them.
1329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: January 10, 2024, 07:15:06 AM
In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good understanding of what you're doing and how you're doing it. The risk that is worried is not only experiencing defeat from the gambling you do but also clearly there is a possibility that you will experience problems at your place of work because your boss knows the gambling activities you do in the middle of working hours and of course the possibility that you will be fired cannot be denied, well your advice is good anyway there is still plenty of time to gamble, so I think there is no reason whatsoever for them to do gambling at work, basically it is better to prevent than to cure.
We have to think about the risks of gambling at work, especially when it concerns the income we receive every week or month. We have to think about how we can work well while we use our work time to gamble because, after all, it will affect our emotions and us when we continue our work. We don't want to experience problems such as being fired by our superiors because we have used our work time to gamble, which is unethical. Moreover, we get income from work so we should be able to see where we are and what we are doing so that we don't risk being fired.

Yes indeed there is always a very strong desire to gamble but one can not continue gambling when he or she do not have enough funds again.
Like one might go to a gambling center with a $1000 and ended up winning up to $5000 or more and most gamblers will always want to gamble more because they might be thinking that that's the perfect time to gambler just because they are winning. But nevertheless, there is always a possibility that they might start losing any moment, and they might also lose the whole of the money they they won and their main account that they came with.
Most gamblers loves gambling more than their jobs, so if they try to gamble more than they are been paid at work that means they will end up been addicted or getting them selfs into troubles like borrowing money to gamble or selling their most important things just so they can gamble
The desire to gamble longer will exist and be experienced by every gambler, but we are the ones who have to control ourselves so we only spend what we can afford. We can only gamble according to the money we can afford so that we will not experience more losses and it will not affect our finances. There is always the possibility of experiencing loss, whether it is a small or large loss. We will experience it, but if we can prevent big losses, we will not worry about losing money because we have already managed our gambling expenses. Most people will indeed prefer gambling to their work because, by gambling, they don't have to do things they don't like. Meanwhile, they seem to be forced to do their job, but they should realize that by doing their job, they can earn income, whereas if they gamble, it does not guarantee that they will win and make money.
1330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most logical and profitable game on: January 10, 2024, 06:53:25 AM
However, I think no one likes losing even if he gambles just for entertainment
No one likes to lose, even though gambling is just entertainment. But it depends on the person. If you intend to gamble to fill your free time, you will not think about winning and losing. You can accept whatever the result is. Even if you lose and don't like it, you can accept it because that's what gambling is like. You have to get used to thinking about only gambling in your spare time and try to forget the losses you experience so that you can accept those losses.

That's correct. We should always aim for a win in every game out there. I do agree that sports gambling has the more logical chance to win because you are not betting against the house but just guessing who will win the game. And we could enhance that winning rate by analyzing the game rather than just relying with luck for board games and other original casino games.
The downside though is it doesn't give that much. 1.5 - 2.00 per game unless we try a parlay which increases the risk factor so I guess it's not logical anymore. But I have seen successful parlays and there was someone that I was following before in the chat place of my favorite sports bookie. Sadly, I don't see her anymore, either she quit or she is busy with something else. Her winning rate is high and parlays are not really that long. From a range of 4-6 legs only and I've won a lot of times just by tailing her bets.
It can be done with sports betting because there are good sports analysis now and the internet is open for those who like to do their own reading about how the game could possibly end.
It is normal that many people want to win from gambling because they see that gambling can give them that win, especially if they are lucky. And those who bet using sports betting feel that their ability to analyze every match they know can give them win, especially when they can get accurate information about the match so they can choose a team that can win. But they must remember that once the match is underway, there will be other factors that can change the course of the match so that the analysis we carry out can be inconsistent and not match predictions. This has happened so often that many gamblers still lose in sports betting but that doesn't stop them from continuing their bets. They will look for other matches that can give them a win so they can make a lot of money. That is why when placing bets on sports betting, a person must be able to improve his ability to analyze each match so that he has a chance of winning.
1331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: January 10, 2024, 06:39:46 AM
That's right, it's their greed that they have to overcome, because many gamblers don't pay attention to this, where they gamble without caring about the losses they have received, so they still decide to gamble because they feel that their luck will soon be on their side. There are also some of them who believe in big wins after the many losses they get, but in my opinion, even if they are old, if they don't have luck in gambling, they won't get big wins.

Controlling yourself from gambling is easy to say but difficult to practice, because there are people who gamble and change their goals when they gamble, where they have a target before gambling but when they win, their goal might change. This is due to the factor of greed,  even though if they follow their greed, in my opinion this will only lead them to defeat which of course will eliminate the victory they have previously obtained. In my opinion, we have to be smart when gambling, when you get a profitable win, immediately cash it out and leave gambling, and when you lose, it's better to stop, don't assume you can recover the losses that have occurred, that's almost impossible.
That means they have to really try to control themselves and suppress their greed so that it doesn't take over and tell them to continue gambling. Those who don't care about the losses they have experienced will just continue gambling without stopping for a moment because they feel that their luck will come soon, even though that's not what will happen. They won't get their luck because no one knows when their luck will come and give them a win.

However, we must be able to control ourselves when gambling so that we don't have the goal of chasing a win, which will be difficult. Having a winning target will only make it difficult for gamblers because they have to chase that win. Even though they use a lot of money, it doesn't guarantee they can win. They have to be smart in using gambling just for fun and not chasing those winnings because if they do, they could end up losing a lot. Many gamblers do not realize that they have lost a lot and instead continue gambling to keep trying to chase their winnings.
1332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 09, 2024, 01:53:05 PM
No one will feel comfortable or worried if they find out that their mother is a gambler who has been gambling for a long time. They will try to make their mother stop gambling because it is no longer appropriate to do so, so their children will try hard to convince their mother to stop gambling. We don't know what will happen to a mother who often gambles because it could also be related to her health or finances. The mother may lose her money in a short time, which will affect her finances or her health will be affected because she has experienced losses from gambling. Moreover, older people should realize that gambling is no longer the place to seek pleasure or to make money because there will be many problems that can arise from gambling.
1333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ? on: January 09, 2024, 01:14:58 PM
It's very possible to make millions in gambling, but if you don't know how to quit gambling you will pay it all back to the casino, this is the spirit of gambling, you don't actually win until you know when to put a final stop to gambling.
It is indeed possible to make millions in gambling but the problem is that not many can get that opportunity but instead will lose a lot of money. Most people don't know when they should stop gambling so we still see many people who end up losing a lot of money and can't get the winnings they want. And that's why only a few people can retire from gambling by getting big wins. But people will still try to get that victory because they still hope and dream of it. And because of that, we should be able to realize that because it is difficult to win from gambling, there is no need to make us try too hard to win the gambling game.
1334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: January 09, 2024, 12:48:52 PM
Realizing that kind of matter saves his butt from losing more money, and the good thing is to develop that kind of ability to control things the right way, instead of pushing for more, better to take the rest and call the day if luck is not letting you win, adding to that, if you know how to balance and control your gambling activities, the chance also that you may take advantage of luck that may come up and back your bets. You will be able to quit before you miss your chance of getting those profits. Experienced gamblers understand how things happen and that's the edge of having that kind of experience when you attached yourself into gambling.
Yes, it will save him from losing his money because he can know when he should stop gambling and will not force himself to continue gambling any longer. Knowing how long he can gamble will give him the opportunity to prevent further losses. We can't force luck to always come with us, and that's what makes us have to be able to know when to stop gambling. For this reason, we need to study the experiences of other gamblers, especially those who have shared their gambling stories, to get something useful to use for our benefit. Maybe we still make mistakes by forgetting to know when to stop gambling, which is normal, so we are always required to learn more to try to develop our abilities to prevent bad things from happening.
1335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? on: January 09, 2024, 12:20:23 PM
I don’t know, I never thought that with the help of gambling I could get a million, and I doubt that this is precisely the goal that motivates many people in gambling to continue playing. ) I think that the vast majority of players are just trying to win at least something, some want to win back, some play just for fun, and a very small percentage of players earn something from gambling, and I suspect that even these players who can earn money from gambling, don’t think about a million.
This is what happens to many gamblers who continue to gamble because they hope to get big wins like other gamblers have experienced. The gamblers seem to forget that they have to really control themselves when gambling so that they don't need to use more money because getting a win from gambling is difficult, let alone getting a big win like that. Some gamblers indeed want to win, but they should be able to realize that gambling games are just for fun, so don't think about getting a jackpot prize because that will only make us spend more money. We will not be able to lose more money because we are chasing big wins that are already very difficult to get.
1336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: January 09, 2024, 11:56:33 AM
Yes, I see that among the qualified participants in the weekly bonus. As long as greed does not enter, the gambler will be able to win in his gambling. That's why most gamblers become irresponsible because of greed.

We know that it often happens when they win; they don't stop, they keep playing, and they don't notice that they gradually lose what they won again, so the ending still ends up being a loss, something that other people shouldn't imitate. gambler who is not yet greedy.
Greed will indeed make gamblers deceived and fall deeper into gambling because they will not see an option to stop their gambling activities. They cannot stop gambling because they want to win more while their chances of winning again may have already left them. That's where we have to understand that when we succeed in winning a certain amount of money, whatever the amount, we must immediately stop the gambling activity that we are doing so that we will not be tempted to continue gambling and instead experience a loss that we will regret.

We must not become greedy gamblers who are hungry for another big win and must realize that enough is enough so that we will not be influenced by the temptation to continue gambling. We ourselves must be responsible for our gambling activities so that we can control ourselves well during and after gambling.

When I'm gambling, whether on our platform or others, I get this exciting feeling. It's hard to put into words, but there's this thrill that makes me want to explore and understand the platform better, eager to find out what it has to offer. Plus, there's this strong desire to win and earn more. It's like this eagerness that keeps you hooked and curious.
Yes, there are indeed different sensations that we feel when gambling and there is a strong desire to continue gambling. But we must understand that when working, we don't need to take risks by continuing to gamble. We have to know where we are and what we are doing so that we will not have problems with our work. We also definitely don't want to be fired from our jobs if we are caught gambling because it violates the regulations of the company where we work. There is still a lot of time to gamble and we should gamble at home or other places and not at work because that is where we work and make money. We must understand these conditions and not be careless in gambling anywhere.
1338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling on: January 09, 2024, 10:57:41 AM
in theory, yes, if you know the algorithm of the game then you will be able to win the game well, but knowing the algorithm of a casino is very difficult considering that it is a casino secret. moreover, when you find out about it and exploit it for your own benefit, the casino's system will notice the unnatural activity and immediately the casino will freeze the account because of the unnatural activity. so it's useless if you know the algorithm of the casino because they have a system that can track the behavior of the players.
In theory, it is possible, but we have to think that that means we have to have the ability to enter the system, find the codes there, and use them for our benefit. It won't be easy because we will encounter difficulties before we can even enter the system because the casino, through its security team, will prevent anything from entering the site. That is why knowing the algorithm will never be easy unless we have excellent hacking skills. The casino team will also not let people who want to check the algorithm of their business because it concerns everything about their business.
1339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most logical and profitable game on: January 09, 2024, 10:25:37 AM
There are lots of comments, sorry I can't reply to each one but in general like sportsbooks it's more logical to win. I forgot to ask about table games like poker and blackjack, I play table games more often than slot machines. Do you think table games are also bad and based only on luck?
Even though table games are also based on luck, players are required to have the ability to play them. If they can't master it well, they won't be able to win, especially if they meet an opponent who is better than them. Maybe they will just lose more often than before and have no chance of winning. Sportsbook games may be more logical to win but it also depends on the abilities of a gambler. But the most logical thing is how well we treat gambling so that we don't think about winning from the gambling game. If we think that gambling games are just entertainment, we will not try too hard to win.

I have seen situations like this and several times and it wasn't an easy thing. My cousin was involved in something like this and he was selling his personal belongings to gamble and when he sold everything he had he was playing gamble with borrowed funds and his family members were always called to come and pay for his debt. It was so embarrassing. Having a gambling addict in a family is not an easy thing to deal with.
If someone has sold their personal belongings to gamble, they may have become addicted to gambling without anyone realizing it. He cannot stop himself from gambling and already considers gambling to be more important than other things, even though he must have had other activities before he knew about gambling. This is what every gambler must be aware of so that they can avoid gambling addiction and their family should be able to detect their gambling addiction from the start after they act out of habit. His family may suspect that he has been gambling excessively and if his family does not know about his gambling activities, the impact could be even worse. Hopefully, your cousin will realize that he has made a fatal mistake and has the desire to stop his gambling activities.
