581  Other / Off-topic / Re: Having a regular/steady income is important as a gambler. on: February 23, 2024, 09:47:20 AM
It is true that you say we must be careful in spending money, pay attention to every money spent from the income generated. Many people do gambling by forcing themselves when they run out of money and don't even have income, of course this is a problem, because forcing themselves to gamble is certainly not the right thing, because if we really want to do gambling we should have a clear income first. Do not force the situation.

If we have income or income it must be managed as well as possible, do not just have the income we can gamble excessively.  Managing finances properly must be done because it is for our own good too.
We know where we allocate the income, and not just allocating the money to gambling. It's easy to spend the steady income we generated, but it's hard to manage the money. We have the ability to know where the money should go and how much money we left so that we can use it to deposit the money to our gambling account to start gambling. We don't have spend much money to playing gambling. Gambling is just for fun for us.

If we can manage the steady income well and filling all necessities, including allocating some amount to playing gambling, we don't have to break our limitations because we can use all the money we have in the right place. Steady income are means we have something that we can use to fills our needs, and we must manage it well.

That will cause another problem, as if you'll be going to resort in barrowing money just to continue playing and trying to recover back. That kind of emotion can lead you to a potential addiction. Better to accept that mistake and take that as a learning ladder for you to pick the right selection before betting, instead of living with any type of regret, it's always healthy and helpful if you push yourself to move forward. There's nothing that you can do about it, as you are inside gambling.

Not unless you'll be walking on that kind of path where you will try your luck finding someone who can lend you money, someone who isn't aware of your gambling participation. Think about losing, as it is possible to keep repeating itself. You'll be adding more problems, so better to forget about it and move on.
If you feel an increased emotions you must be careful because that can caus you lose self-control, that can make us to use more money to gamble. We still difficult to win the gambling game while we will just lose much money. We can feel regret after seeing how much money we have spent gambling. If that is what we experience, we must be able to reduce the allocation of funds and not force ourselves to gambling. We can only gamble with restrictions and nothing more.

It's not worth to use all money to gambling while you don't have a chance to win. We have to know when we can gambling and when to hold ourselves so that we don't fall deeper into gambling. Always thinking about the losses we have experienced is one way to stop ourselves from continuing to gamble.
583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: February 22, 2024, 05:22:55 PM
If I were the child's mother, of course I would be very angry because he dared to act unexpectedly and was very reckless in stealing and gambling, even if he won a lot of money, I would still discipline the child.
The common reaction after realizing what your child did, I go to that fact that being a parent and having that guilt that you held responsible to whatever your kids are doing, they might start to steal from you and to whoever reside inside your house but  after that what's next the child can do? No matter what might be the outcome, there should be good disciplinary action to take.

Then, after you should start watching your child and start guiding them if you feel that what you are doing is ain't enough to straight their path, it's your obligation to adjust and to try all the possible ways to enlighten them to quit away from gambling, there's no good implication as they think that it's a good venue to quickly earn decent money.
It is our child who has stolen our money so we must be able to educate him better. We need to use a different approach to make him aware and show about what he did wrong thing and he won't do it again. He can ask for money from us as his parents so he doesn't have to steal money because if they do it until they are adults, they can be caught by the police and jailed. That will make difficult for them because when they are imprisoned, they will face a harsh reality that they have never seen and never imagined before. We need to straighten them so that they don't take the wrong path again and they can realize that stealing is a mistake and a bad act. Disciplining our children who have stolen is necessary to have a deterrent effect on them so they don't repeat the action again.

because of such distractions, information technology departments in companies regularly upgrade access restrictions to gambling websites as well as absolutely prohibit such gathering behaviors, no matter what role one is in, one needs to use all one's energy for that job, distracting yourself to an emotional game like gambling only makes the work session more difficult. People who are not professional in using their minds will use their hands and feet to work and with such volume, gambling will not interfere when we are in a working state.
The company only want its employees can work well in the company and not gambling in their free time or work time. The company want their employee show their best performance for the company so that the company can become even better. An employee who understands the regulations in his company will not use his free time to gamble because it can affect his emotions after finished gambling so that can disrupted his work and make him unable to complete his work on time. Employees like that are what companies will look for because they really understand their working hours well so they won't ignore them just to gamble. They can go back to gambling after coming home from work so they can gamble.
585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun and not a way of making money on: February 22, 2024, 04:23:26 PM
People who can use gambling for fun is the lucky people. They will not try to gambling excessively because they know that will give an experience of a huge losses that they can't accept. Many people experienced much losses are tried to reduce their gambling activities and will not repeat their mistakes. They know that when they gambling, they will experience losses and if they lose control, their lose will be bigger and that will difficult to recover even if they deposit more money.

It's really not worth for people to lose much money in gambling. They will lose more money and it will increase if they can't stop gambling. They can reduce their gambling activities step by step if they feel it's hard to stop gambling directly. Stopping gambling requires much effort and also a strong intention to be able to stop immediately without any difficulties.

the use of the internet has made everything go more simpler for the gambling industry, people do not have to engage with their personal and physical efforts in making promotions for the gambling platforms, also we have been privileged to have a number of varieties in online gambling casinos than we have when things weren't like this far in development, now we can also gambles with the use of our mobile device at anytime and anywhere as long as we are interested in doing so.
The internet give an easiness to all people who lived in this era and can use it with easy. But behind of the easiness, we need to be careful because we can stay and watch many things from internet without doing anything. I already seen some people who just sit down in their front house and carrying their smartphone, watching Youtube or online on social media for a long time. That people aren't doing anything except use the internet from their smartphone. It would be more dangerous if they used the internet to gamble and that's the different between the past and nowadays.

But that just happen to some people who can't manage their time properly. Other people who connect to the internet can use it with right so they don't have playing gambling when they are busy or doing something in their real life.
587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: February 22, 2024, 03:38:06 PM
It's hard to suppress that desire and urge to gamble with the money that you've won in gambling and this is the reason why most gamblers aren't able to do it. Some gamblers can barely spare a buck from what they manage to win no matter how much money it is because they lack self-control and always give up against the urge to gamble.

So, only responsible gamblers with a great level of patience and self-control can be able to use their gambling winnings to do something useful for themselves so that they can benefit from it in the future. As you said, the best way to use the money is to make investments or start a small business if the money is enough for that.
Yeah, it's indeed hard to suppress but if we want to be responsible gamblers with a great level and have good self-control, we must always try to master that skills so that we don't have intention to playing gambling after we won. We know that we will difficult to win more money after the last winning so we decide to stop gambling and cashout the money before our greediness become bigger.

It's enough if we can win from gambling because not many people can win like us. We need to limit our gambling activity to avoid many problems that may occur. We can use the money for many things include to buy foods to celebrate it with our friends or family and saving it for our future. We should grateful that we can win the gambling games while other people still hard to win.
588  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? on: February 22, 2024, 03:15:30 PM
By the way, the fact that he blamed one of your friends because of his misfortune is really a red flag for me, and it shows what kind of person he is. If you are going to dive into gambling, you should know the risks that are waiting for you, and for him, he should be aware. We can say that he is still immature because he was still in high school when he was introduced to gambling. But years have passed, and you still gamble even without the presence of his friend? I think the problem is within him because, as a grown man with responsibilities, he should know the limits when gambling.
 
We should not blame anyone when we are trying things because, at the end of the day, we are still the ones who make our own decisions.
Most people know gambling don't know the risks and not research first before deciding. They only found that gambling have many games they can play using their moeny. They don't try to learn what things they must have while playing gambling. And when they know gambling because of their friends, they aren't use limitation to playing gambling because they think that is almost the same as a video games they played.

He should've know that playing gambling is an option. If he thinks that gambling can make his money lost, he doesn't have to playing gambling and use the other things to have fun. No one will force him to continue gambling because his friend only introduced gambling to him and let he decide it later. But we can't blame him because of his action blaming his friends because may be he is a vengeful person so he will blame other people for making his life a mess.
589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: February 22, 2024, 02:45:44 PM
It's quite reasonable that we will feel comfortable with losing 1% of our portfolio, this will apply if we have enough money, but if we have a little, it's not wrong to add no more than 5%. In my personal opinion, this is still relatively safe.
1% is indeed safe and certainly you won't notice the losses incase you are in bad streak. This is ideal for those who wants to try different games yet don't want to spend much or afraid to have huge losses.

But It depends for every gamblers since many of us probably don't want to waste our time (like those whale gamblers) using a small amount when playing especially if you're after profit. In my case, 5% of my day job salary is sufficient already to spend for leisure. IMO, regardless what percentage of your money is meant for gambling, as long as you'll be satisfied then that's what matter. Don't try to follow others who can spend more than what they can afford because often that's the start for someone to have a problem related to how they gamble.
Besides that, before they risking any money, they can use demo mode to check the game which that can help them to avoid the losses. If they are sure with the games, they can deposit some money and follow the rule 1% to be used for gamble. They will not waste their money by losing it in many gambling games because they already know how prevent the loss. They can take care themselves when playing gambling and not risking too much money.

I don't use big percentage to playing gambling because I already seen some gamblers who is my friends, losing their money in gambling. They can't buy something to fills their needs because they used almost all of their money to gamble. That's why I always try to limit my money that I want to use to playing gambling. The key here is only use the money you can afford.
590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recovering gambling addict stories on: February 22, 2024, 01:50:40 PM
I am not yet see any video like that but I know that the gambling addiction can damage our life until we don't have money, time and ruin our relationship. This relationship can be our family or spouses or even friends. We will be alone and no one will want to visit to our home. We will not feel anything and can't think clear about what happen in around us. We only focus with our gambling and want to win much money but that is hard even if we spend all of our money, that doesn't guarantee we can win. We will only bankrupt and don't have money to fills our daily needs.

It's why we must be careful when we gamble and always stay alert and prevent the loss. The important thing is we can control ourselves while gambling so there are no bad things happen to us. We can say that gambling is part of our life but without responsibility, we will get deeper in gambling without realize what happen to us. So we must really take care ourselves when we playing gambling and not let anything can seduce ourselves to get closer from the highlight of gambling.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don’t play gambling with drugs or in half sleep on: February 22, 2024, 01:35:06 PM
Drugs and gambling—what a weird combination of habits your friend has. I mean, I do get his point about using drugs to make him numb when gambling so he won't hesitate on staking, but still, you need to have a clear mind so you can decide what is the right thing to do when gambling. He might not be addicted to gambling, but he might be on drugs. If he continues using drugs, whether he gambles or not, he might end up using them more than just for gambling. You need to watch him more because of that.
That is a perfect combinations of habits Grin Just kidding.

Man, that makes his lives in a big mess because he has two addiction which needs to cure. He can't do other things when he is addicted to drug because I have seen some addict drug people who doesn't want to do anything and just lying down in their chair or bed. Yeah, when he "fly" using the drug, he will not feel anything and that's courage him to spend much money in gambling. Even if he loss, he still doesn't feel that he lost his money and just continue gambling. He really needs help from other people like you @OP to make him realize that having two addictions is more dangerous for him and could damage his health.

Whatever his addiction, he needs to cure all to save his lives before it's too late. @OP must asks his family to help him while he can talks and discuss to other people. If @OP can't talk to him because of addiction, that will be more difficult because he will not realize what happen to him.
592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? on: February 22, 2024, 01:13:50 PM
Yes, people do that, I think that's the whole point of gambling is, right? You risk your money in the hopes that it's going to double in value which gives you profit. Sure you could do that and not bet but that's going to only be the peak, with betting, you're bound to get more excited and saddened when you're watching a game depending on the result, winning a bet on a sports that you've watched and loved is a different kind of fun if you ask me, plus to many people, betting is just a second thing to them, they just bet for the sake of they have something to do other than just watching.
If people doesn't think about to double their money from gambling instead just use it for having fun, they will not getting a big loss because they will know how long they need to playing gambling and how much money they can used so they will stay alert and not trying to deposit more money when they almost lose all of their money. They will prepare to stop their gambling activity while watching what the last result they got. If they lose, they will leave the casino and will do the same if they win. They will not think to recover their loss because they don't want to see more losses.

Yes, people risk their money in gambling but if they can be wise using gambling, they will not take a big risk instead just for the money they can afford. They will not break their limit because that can makes them lose much money. Related to watching the match, they will have the option and that depends on them. They will not watching the match if they don't want. But for a fan, they will watch the match while waiting for the result from their bet.
593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: February 22, 2024, 12:40:54 PM
A gambling addict always think he would make it through gambling despite his or her loses, the idea is that one day will be their day. so to help such people as a member I think is to draw them closer show them some love so they will have interest to what ever ought to say to them. let them know that it's not as they think, give them a constructive reason why they have to leave it because gambling is a thing of 50/50 chance. many people are in mess today because of gambling
Even if he lose, he will hard to pass the gambling because he wants to retur to the gambling to recover his losses. Other family members need to get closer to that gambling addict and try to show their good intention to help the addict. If the addict can see that their family member really wants to help the addicts, he will try to open himself and grab their hands. Together, they will try to solve his gambling addiction without hesitant because they are one big family that want to help each other.

If his family members can show their empathy to the addict, he will want to listen what his family members tell and follow it because that gives a good for him. Yes, it needs patience to help the addict to solve his problem but it's worth doing that as the addict will see how strong their bonds and not thinking about what he already did because his family wants to help him to solve his gambling addiction.
594  Other / Off-topic / Re: Before you start gambling, do some research first on: February 22, 2024, 12:24:12 PM
Small wins can feel like tiny victories, fueling the illusion that "just one more spin" will lead to riches. But that's the trap, my friend. It's like chasing butterflies – the closer you get, the faster they flutter away, leaving you with nothing but empty pockets and a nagging sense of hope betrayed.

Before you even step into that virtual casino, understand the odds. They're stacked against you, plain and simple. It's not a level playing field, and the house always has the advantage. Think of it like playing chess with a grandmaster who's blindfolded – you might win once, maybe twice, but the long game is rigged.

Responsible behavior? Absolutely crucial. Approach gambling like a tightrope walk, not a casual stroll. Set limits, stick to them like glue, and never, ever chase losses. Remember, it's entertainment, not a get-rich-quick scheme. Treat it like a fancy dinner, not an all-you-can-eat buffet – enjoy it in moderation, or you'll end up feeling queasy (and broke).
If they think like that, they will not have a chance to leave gambling instead will stay for more and spend more money. Yeah, that is the trap that every gamblers must realize so they don't playing gambling too long. "Just one more spin" already become a slogan for many gamblers so they forget to stop themselves from playing gambling and just losing more money. But I believe some gamblers can hold themselves and quit gambling before they lose more money.

It's why before someone playing gambling, he needs to research what he must know about gambling so he don't enter to the trap and can use gambling as an entertainment. It's not as hard as they think but what makes hard is people needs to doing that thing continously so they can master the abilities to prevent themselves become a heavy gambler.

Once they become a heavy gambler, they will not have a chance to realize what they already do unless they can see how much money they used and want to change it for a better. A gambler will be hard to win from the casino as the house will be the big winner and takes the money from the lose gamblers.
595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: February 22, 2024, 12:05:43 PM
Indeed. When we gamble or bet with our won prediction, we won't blame other people at least. We may evaluate our own ways, that will be good to do. If we rely on other people prediction, we will never evaluate ourselves but only blames others. Evaluating makes us having better way in predicting or in gambling for the future.
....
I agree with your statement, when we gamble or bet using our own analysis, even if in the end we lose, we will only blame ourselves. This is different from, for example, when we bet or gamble based on other people's analysis, that means we only use other people's skills completely, and when we lose we will tend to blame that person for our losses. And because of this, a gambler should be able to take responsibility independently for his gambling so that he can learn and become better from his experience.
Because of that lose, we are inspire to learn more to master the ability to analyze the match so we can improve our skills better. That will help to stay away from trusting other people's prediction, because we can analyze by ourselves. We don't take attention too much from prediction that we get but we can use it for our own benefit and give more information to us related to the match. It's help us to learn how other people analyze the match and we can get more sign about the prediction. We place a bet with our prediction while we have the opportunity to have a better skills in sports betting.

If we use other people's prediction, we never learn how they predict and not have a chance to improve our skills. We don't have to afraid getting lose because make a wrong prediction because we are still learning. If we don't stop learning, we will have a good skills in analyzing the match while we can place the bets easily without rely on other people's prediction.
596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: February 22, 2024, 11:46:41 AM
Kids learn too fast, especially by imitation. They like to practice what they see be it good or bad, so gambling in front of a kid is dangerous, if the child decides to search for gambling online site and plays it at his own secret time, he might end up becoming addicted before the parents could even notice. Besides, now adays one can be a gambling and people around him would not even notice due to how classified he wants it to be.
Children now learning faster than children from a few years ago. They can understand many things without takes too long and can apply what their parents or adults people do without difficult. That makes parents and others need to be careful when they want to use their devices and not show their activity using their devices in front of their children. Parents needs guiding their kids with good so their kids don't follow what other kids do because that can harm their life without their parents know.

It's not easy for parents teach something that parents don't familiar with so parents needs to learn more to know how to guide their kids better. It needs time but if parents can learn better, they will not have a problem while they teach their kids about good thing. The important thing is parent don't show their gambling activity to their kids because we don't know what will happen to our kids if they start playing gambling without their parents know.

That was insane, losing $4,000 in just 2 minutes. I never imagine what will happen to me if I got that experience. Maybe I will get a heart attack after seeing my lost that will makes me to lose my life too. It's not worth playing gambling using that big money, especially if we are an average guy who doesn't have much money or having passive income. Even if he is a rich person, losing that big money is not worth.

Yes, regret is one thing that will comes to ourselves but everything is already happened and we can't get that money back. I never experienced losing that much money and my reaction maybe will be worst than that guy on the video. I can't make $4,000 from my jobs and that will the craziest thing that I ever do.
598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? on: February 22, 2024, 09:34:30 AM
I'll feel a mix of regret and frustration if I missed out a big win that I couldnt afford to bet on. Although dwelling on it would not change anything. I'll just look at it as a lesson that maybe one day, I will have the same luck and not miss the opportunity again.
It's better to stop think it, especially if you don't have money. You can't place a bet if you don't have money so better let it go and wait until you have the money. We know it's hard but you will do that because if not, you may think of borrowing other people's money so you can place a bet. But that is a normal thing experienced by every gambler because they can't get that thought out of their head so they have to try hard to pass it by.

They will not push themselves to find money or borrow money to place bets, especially if they still have needs that must be met. They will prefer to fulfill their needs first rather than place bets. Gambling is not a priority in their lives, so they can skip it and will place bets if they already have money.
599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: February 22, 2024, 09:00:43 AM
This can only happen if a gambler gambles with a budget and never goes beyond it, and for that to happen, one needs to be disciplined and have a responsible nature because you might lose the budget that you have allocated for a week or a month in a single day sometimes, that is also irresponsible though, and then if you try and recover your losses, you will probably lose way more than what you had initially allocated as your gambling budget.

So, if a person has a budget and strictly sticks to it, they will never chase their losses and they will stop right after they have exhausted their gambling bankroll. If one gambles without a budget, they will most likely chase their losses and make more deposits after losing the initial balance.
A wise gambler will never use gambling too excessive, even if he win the money from gambling. They already have limits in gambling so they will not gamble excessively they want to avoid their losses that could increase at any time. A wise gambler will have a responsibility in gambling because they don't want gambling influenced them and make them gamble all the time, that can cause them experience losses that they cannot accept. He will focus on preventing big losses by always limiting the use of money for gambling so that he will not experience big losses.

That's why every gambler must allocating some funds for gambling and always stick to that because that's the only thing they can do to avoid loss after loss which can come at any time. He also will not chase his losses and immediately stop his gambling activities once he feels like he has gambled enough.
600  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: February 22, 2024, 08:31:20 AM
That's right, if a gambler can accept when he loses, maybe he will enjoy every gambling game he plays. On the one hand, he uses gambling as an entertainment activity and if he is lucky then it is considered a good bonus for him.
If gamblers can do this kind of behavior, I don't think they will suffer much loss because they have boundaries and a clear mind and when they have to stop, stop immediately.
Accepting loss is something that every gambler must be able to do so that they will never think about recovering from their losses because that is something that is not easy to achieve, especially when we play gambling which is full of uncertainty. He should be able to use gambling as entertainment and also not to think much about winning because he knows that there will come a time when he can win. And when the win does come to him, he will just assume that it is a bonus for him so he will not be interested in chasing another win. Playing gambling for fun is the initial goal of every gambler and it is their duty to maintain their initial goal rather than having to change their goal to chasing win.

Chasing the win is the hardest part to reach for the gamblers. They need to spend more money but that doesn't guarantee to recover the loss. It's why they must be able to take care their money and not deposit more and more money to gamble.
