Hey just be straight with your friend. Let him know messing with online casinos is risky and it could make things worse. Suggest seeking professional advice on handling debts or exploring legal alternatives instead. Gambling might seem like a quick fix but it often ends up causing more trouble. Encourage him to make responsible choices for a better long-term solution

People who cannot bring a rational mindset to gambling often end up with a lot of financial problems, and this is what the person in this case experienced, in the sense that he really did not see gambling from various sides and he only saw gambling in terms of profit, especially about winning but did not think about the negative side which would actually make him fall into the abyss. This is what will happen when you are too focused on winning along with putting hope in it, because instead of getting a win to pay debts but what happens is that you will experience a lot of losses which of course will make the situation worse. Therefore, it is always recommended to apply caution and vigilance along with full awareness when you want to get involved in gambling, lest you take the wrong path that ultimately makes you lost, after all gambling is not a solution to any problem and this really should be considered and applied in mind.

Good and accurate understanding will lead us on a good path. In gambling, good understanding will be very useful for us so that we don't gamble continuously and prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling. It is true that if we are experiencing difficulties regarding the finances we use in gambling, we should immediately think logically and correctly that gambling is not a place to make money, and immediately think about getting out of there.

Yes of course everything will be directed if we understand what we are doing, what I mean is that when you understand what you are doing then you will definitely do something that is normal and recommended which also leads to something that will not have too much significant impact, I will not say that having the right understanding on gambling is the best decision for your life because obviously if you want the best then the answer is "don't gamble at all", and what I mean is that you must have the right understanding if you want to engage in this activity because this is the only option that is best so that we don't experience many problems as a result.

On the other hand why having a correct understanding and having a rational point of view on gambling is recommended because it is by doing so that you will really know the real facts about what gambling is, most people misunderstand what is meant by "winning chances", They think that it is an opportunity to get a lot of money but on the other hand they don't pay much attention to the possible risks which is what is more likely and more often happens, so don't be easily fooled by what the casino provides, they provide winning opportunities to lure more people to get involved and when you misunderstand the winning opportunities then obviously you will become a victim by losing a lot.
Understanding gambling emphasizes its risks, not normalizes it. Yes, understanding is important, but the best option is to abstain. The temptation of winning chances is a deception aimed to catch the naive

Your point about proper comprehension is strong, but it doesnt cover gambling's whole impact. Every gamble tears at society's fiber, not just individual issues. Casinos sell aspirations wrapped in lacquered illusions, not opportunity. Recognizing this is wise and necessary to avoid the deception of easy money. Gambling is loss disguised as opportunity

True, understanding gambling is the same as you focus on the possible risks involved in gambling, however, this is what should be paid more attention to and not be ignored, the reason is because your victory always depends on how lucky you are at the time of running the session, while on the other hand you will never know when that luck will come, so focusing on the possible risks along with applying a lot of caution and vigilance is the recommended approach, this will be able to make you achieve balance in the sense that you will not experience too serious problems in terms of losing.

We have to go back and study what we mean by "odds" because this is an element that has no certainty and means nothing more than a "possibility", it could happen and it could not. Honestly, I'm not going to blame the casinos for the fraudulent notion of odds, but it's the gamblers who neglect to understand what they mean by odds, so they basically take the "odds" as something that "just happens" and this is the kind of negligence that gets you into a myriad of real-life financial trouble. On the other hand, your point is also true in this regard, but perhaps let's relate that the opportunities provided by casinos make most gamblers have aspirations that are motivated by various temptations that look tempting so that this is the impetus that makes them even more excessive.
643  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What contributes to a casual gambler becoming an addicted gambler? on: February 17, 2024, 01:13:33 AM

And your answer is summarized in the last pound, "an excuse" I think that's enough.
But if logic is correct, anything can be a reason why ordinary gamblers transition into addicted gamblers, I will add a point that I often find in my environment, namely the "influence of the environment" invitation of friends, seeing friends gamble on an ongoing basis, seeing friends get a big win so that it attracts us to play and continue to play gambling, there is a sense of competitiveness that arises to be able to beat the winnings that his friend gets, such as wanting to be arrogant to his gambling friend.

Yes, all the lists that are displayed can indeed be simplified or summarized as reasons that encourage gamblers to act crazier which in the end all these actions do not even lead to something they want such as making money but instead make them enter the addiction phase which of course they even suffer the amount of loss. And yes on the other hand what you said is true about environmental factors which is clear that in any case the environment does have a big influence on everyone, especially on behavior change, But on the other hand maybe this is also quite dependent on each of us if for example you do reject some invitations from friends who like to gamble then obviously you can avoid the name of addiction but if you are influenced unconsciously in the sense that you don't really find out about what gambling really is and then you even start trying to play without knowing any of the dangers then obviously a high probability of addiction will occur, especially as you said if they see the victory that some of their friends managed to achieve then obviously it is like a motivation for them to be even more excessive.
If we look at it from the point of view of each person, I myself will not debate it because it all depends on each person, that sentence is clear in any discussion, but if we look in terms of factor X (which affects) and factor Y (which is affected). of course we will get a lot of elements that can be considered why someone can do that (addiction).

To be honest you are doing a reaffirmation of what I said, thank you because everything seems much clearer about the arguments I made about the reasons that can make someone experience addiction.

Yes because what I mean above is that when someone has the firmness in themselves not to follow or not get carried away with what their friends are doing in their environment then I think it is still quite unlikely that they will eventually get involved in gambling activities, especially if they already know the bad effects along with emphasizing to themselves that they will never want to gamble, unless there is coercion or even threats from people who influence them then obviously there is a high possibility that they will get involved in that activity.

Honestly, because I have a friend in my neighborhood who never wants and is never interested in the gambling that I do, even though most of us are gamblers but he is not at all interested or even tempted when he sees me or my other friends winning. And on the other hand we have agreed that the conclusion to this problem depends on each individual, on the other hand yes it doesn't matter buddy because completing an idea or argument to clarify and direct it in more detail is the obligation of those of us who are here so that there are no misunderstandings and so that people including those here can see from various sides about all possibilities.

This mtch was interesting because both clubs showed a balanced performance in my opinion, and both clubs even dared to appear more open and didn't just play waiting and being careful. Galatasaray was quite lucky because they managed to secure victory in the final minutes with 1 goal that they managed to score. Actually, I was quite worried when they got a red card in the 62nd minute, and it was proven that they immediately conceded a goal 3 minutes later. However, their opponents also received a red card which made the match return to a draw.
Galatasaray is not yet in a completely safe condition, because in the second meeting they will appear as the visiting team, and clearly that is an advantage for Sparta Prague. I wonder if they will perform like this or more to secure the advantage they have in this match, but that is quite risky too because with the pressure they will continue to receive, it is feared that there will be a gap open.

Both teams performed very well in this match. Both played to win. I agree with you that Galatasaray were very lucky in this match. This is why the team managed to secure 3 points.

After Vector Nlsson received a red card in the 62nd minute I thought galatasaray would not win the match. The team conceded a goal in the 65th minute. However, in the 80th minute, Sparta Prague's player Rynes got a red card to equalize the match. And Galatasaray was very lucky. After 90 minutes, the team took a 3-2 lead in the match by scoring in injury time. It is expected that the match of the second leg will be as exciting. Because both groups are almost equally strong.
Yes, I also hope for an interesting match in their second meeting, because even though Galatasaray has the advantage, this match will be played at Sparta Prague's headquarters. In this match alone they were able to provide tough resistance to Galatasaray, this was a signal for Galatarasay that Sparta might appear more attacking when playing at their own base.
I am very sure that Sparta will go all out, as will Galatasaray. But the question lies with Galatasaray, will they play like this and play openly or will they try to secure their lead more, as I said before.
There are many considerations that they have to make which are definitely with the aim of minimizing the risk for them in the second meeting.

Comparing the two clubs that will meet, it is clear that Bremen will show something beter than Koln. Focusing on Klon, last season they managed to finish in 11th place in the standings, even in the previous 2 saesons they were able to compete and managed to occupy 7th place at the end of the competition. This season I see them being the same as the 2020/2021 season, yes they have a bad perfrmance and that means they have to struggle to survive in the Bundesliga and must first get through the play-off round.
This match will be very important for Koln, because winning will maintain their hopes of being able to keep their distance from the clubs above them. whereas if they lose, it will make them even worse and it is not impossible that they will have to be in the bottom 2 positions if they continue to lose. They have to work hard to achieve positive results in this mtch.

Köln are 5 points behind place 15, where Union Berlin currently are . This means that Köln must win at least 2 games and Union Berlin must lose twice. Union Berlin will play against Hoffenheim. I do not even know if the coach of Union Berlin is still suspended. But either way it will not be easy against Hoffenheim. Although they have been waiting for a win for a long time, they are not to be underestimated. But Hoffenheim have to win again. Otherwise the discussion about sacking the coach will come up again.
Well, Union Berlin also has a tough match against Hoffenheim, they will most likely lose, although they might also get points. Therefore, this is an opportunity for Koln, at least Koln must first secure victory, regardless of whether Union Berlin can win or not, that is another matter, what is clear is that Koln must achieve good results in this match.
5 points is not too far away, especially as Union Berlin itself has a performance that is still not that good. There is definitely pressure, it is something that cannot be avoided, but they must be able to turn that pressure into great motivation for them. The league is still running, as long as it is running, opportunities are still open. I say this not only to Koln, but to all the clubs that are competing, including Koln.
646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 16, 2024, 04:33:08 PM
Barcelona this season cannot be expected to be in the Champions League, they have repeatedly shown something that is not good. Yes, they have felt this problem for a long time, especially when they started to falter in their finances. Now in the Champions League maybe they will be able to go further and get past the round of 16, but after that I increasingly doubt they will be able to get through round after round well.
Napoli this season has declined very much after they managed to become champions last season. A balanced match considering the performance of these two clubs, although personally I still see Barcelona as better than Napoli. The 2 matches between them will be very decisive, and maybe they will beat each other when they play as hosts, either Barcelona or Napoli.
If in the end the two teams beat each other in two legs then that will definitely result in a lot of goals being scored. It is impossible for there to be only one goal or two goals and both teams will compete with each other to beat the aggregate if they want to qualify. But it doesn't rule out the possibility that in the end both teams will have to go through a penalty shootout to determine their qualification for the next round.

But it is true that the two teams are almost no different, both Barcelona and Napoli are still down with inconsistency results obtained in the domestic league and it is very difficult to bet on the winner. I wouldn't expect more from Barcelona and vice versa for Napoli, regardless of their current situation, they actually won't be able to face their next opponent. Well, it's only the best for these two teams and whoever wins or passes, they should only be able to give a minimum performance.
Maybe their target, both Barcelona and Napoli, is not to be eliminated in this round, because as I said before, in front of them they will definitely face tougher opponents, although we don't know who yet, but if you look at the list of clubs in this round of 16 , it is clear they will face a better prepared opponent. Yes, you are right, it is possible that they will compete with each other to determine who will advance to the next round via penalty shootout.
Barcelona have missed many things, usually they are one of the favorites in the Champions League, but that is not the case this season. Even though some people might consider them, in terms of percentage their chances of becoming champions are below other big clubs who have much better performances, one of which is their rival from La Liga, Real Madrid. Just looking at La Liga now, Real Madrid is not under strong pressure from Barcelona.

Allegri, Pioli will probably leave by the end of the season.

It is still early to announce it since anything can happen but this is the direction

Allegri? Really??
but are you sure that Massimiliano Allegri will leave at the end of the season? I dont understand why since as a fan I am satisfied with how he handled the injury crisis, the points minus, for me it is a huge mistake, enormous mistake

I hope Allegri will really leave because after all, Allegri still can't restore Juventus performance to be better. So yes, it is time for Juventus to make big changes to the team by appointing a new coach for next season. Indeed, basically in the past Allegri managed to produce good results for Juventus but at this moment or this season, you can see how bad Juventus is. Even though Juventus only focuses on the domestic league but yes, the reality is that Allegri still failed to make Juventus have good dominance in the Serie A standings.
I think Allegri is showing good progress at the moment, yes they may not be at the top of the standings, but also keep in mind that this season Inter Milan have had an impressive performance, so it is quite difficult for Juventus to compete with them closely. I think he deserves to be kept for next season, they have a big chance of returning to the Champions League next season.
If you replace him with a new coach, is there a guarantee that the new coach will make Juventus play better than now? I guess there is no guarantee about that. There may be a chance, but it is also worth the risk which could make Juventus worse than this season. I think management must consider it carefully before making this decision, because whether we like it or not, it carries big risks. Unless Allegri shows something bad this season, it is natural that Allegri will not get another chance to manage Juventus.

Indeed, Salah is back available and can play for Liverpool's next match but, considering the opponent Liverpool will face in the next match in the Premier League against Brentford. I am sure, even though Liverpool play without Salah, I personally still believe Liverpool can still beat Brentford in the match. Because after all, the reality is that Brentford at this moment is experiencing poor performance and results so yes, even though Brentford is playing at home but still, I'm sure it's not a good chance for Brentford in this match.

Therefore, I am sure that even if Liverpool plays without Salah, I am still sure that Liverpool will still win in this match. So yes, I don't care whether Salah will play from the starting lineup or will only play from the bench, because basically Liverpool has a very good chance of winning in this away match.
It is very likely that if M Salah is not really ready, Liverpool will still let him sit on the bench, but if his condition is really ready then Liverpool will play him. Regardless of the opponent they will face, it is clear they will not want to take the risk that if they can play with the full squad then they will. However, it is true that looking at their opponents, Brentford is not the favorite club, they have not performed well, so it is a big opportunity for Liverpool to be able to take home full points from their away match this time.
Victory is something that must be obtained by Liverpool, they are competing to become champions this season, even if they experience bad results it could make them fall further behind, especially from Manchester City who are also trying to defend their championship title. And there is also Arsenal who are looming over them in 3rd position with a distance of 2 points.

The record in recent matches from Köln is disastrous. They have only won one game out of their last 7 games. That was at home against Frankfurt. Tonight they will play against Werder Bremen. Bremen have won 3 of their last 7 games and only lost one. Although it has to be said that they lost their last game against Heidenheim somewhat unluckily. Köln are at place 16 in the table and will probably not win this game. If things continue like this, Köln will surely sack its next coach.
Comparing the two clubs that will meet, it is clear that Bremen will show something beter than Koln. Focusing on Klon, last season they managed to finish in 11th place in the standings, even in the previous 2 saesons they were able to compete and managed to occupy 7th place at the end of the competition.

650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 16, 2024, 03:29:42 PM
In my opinion there is a big difference between these two players and I say that Victor Osimhen only got extraordinary achievements last season whereas previously at Napoli he was only able to score no more than 20 and last season he was able to score more than 20 but in this season Currently he is experiencing a deep decline, only being able to score 7 scores in 13 matches.
Meanwhile, if we compare it with Mbappe, it is actually very far away and Mbappe's performance is stronger than Osimhen's, as proven by the scores he gets every season, he is always able to score big and this season he has scored 20 scores from 19 matches.

For me, it's a bit risky if PSG management thinks about replacing Mbappe with Osimhen because even though he has gotten big scores, I'm worried that Osimhen will experience a decline in performance and not be able to appear as strong as Mbappe.
Osimhen is unlikely to be able to replace Mbappe. If anyone replaces Mbappe, it will be Holland and yes, why take Osimhen if there are already two strikers of his level. An alternative option for the French is Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, but PSG has no doubt that he can arrange the transfer of Osimhen. The Parisians are looking to pay about 80 million euros for him. And in comparison, Mbappe scored 31 goals and made four assists for PSG, and Osimhen eight goals and two goals for Napoli, which is in a crisis in the game.
In my opinion, Osimhen is not really stable as a player, it's not bad but his performance still fluctuates and that's with a very high graph, while Mbappe has so far been consistent with his performance, so it's not surprising that Mbappe is more valuable for Paris Saint Germain compared to other players , like Osimhen. However, if Paris Saint Germain really loses Mbappe, then it might be an option to be on their recruitment radar. However, so far I have not heard any further news whether Paris Saint Germain is interested in Osimhen or not.
There are many plyers who could be part of Paris Saint Germain, but the question is whether they will be like Mbappe or not, because now Mbappe is really influential at Paris Saint Germain, he can be a differentiator from the matches played by Paris Saint Germain.

I think Galatasaray - Sparta Prague was one of the most enjoyable games of the day. Galatasaray's weaknesses in defense helped Sparta Prague stay in the game every time they got behind by one goal. But Icardi had the last word anyway. I don't think Sparta Prague can eliminate Galatasaray anyway.

I consider Galatasaray as one of the favorites for the Europa League title. This team is strong enough. Galatasaray is now at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table. This group is strong. And the players in the squad have the ability to score a lot of goals. However, the team has several weaknesses. One of them is that Galatasaray's defense is a bit weak.

Galatasaray's performance against Sparta Praha was very good. Sparta Praha was not a weak team. However, Sparta Praha won the home match 3-2. But still the next round is not sure for Galatasaray. Sparta Praha players will definitely try their best to beat Galatasaray at home. The second leg match looks to be more competitive.
This mtch was interesting because both clubs showed a balanced performance in my opinion, and both clubs even dared to appear more open and didn't just play waiting and being careful. Galatasaray was quite lucky because they managed to secure victory in the final minutes with 1 goal that they managed to score.

LOSC vs Le Havre team match is looking forward to enjoy great match. I don't know which team will play better and which team will win this match. We have seen LOSC team play well in almost match and scored goals. If we have 5 matches  Let's see LOSC team lost 2 matches, won 2 matches and drew 1 match. Tomorrow we will see how it will play in this match.
I think LOSC will be able to win this match, although it is possible that Le Havre will be able to put up a fight and maybe even beat LOSC. LOSC has the advantage because they will play as hosts in this match, mentally, certainly being the host will make them mentally better because they will get full support from the supporters who come directly to the stadium. LOSC is also overall better than Le Havre on almost all fronts.
Le Havre's defense line is fragile, that might be a gap that LOSC can exploit in this match. It would be a shame if LOSC couldn't win the match, because they are the favorites to win the match with all the advantages they have.

after beating DC United with a score of 2-0 in the Friendlies match, now Al-ettifaq brings another victory in the match against Al-khaleej in the Saudi league. Wijnaldum is very great, he scores goals and is very great at taking advantage of opportunities, as is D.gray who is very great in the match. this and scored a goal and the match ended with a score of 0-2 in favor of Al-ettifaq.-snip-
This was a very impressive victory of course for Al Ettifaq after failing to achieve a single win in many matches, there were at least eight matches in a row where the club coached by Steven Gerrard was only able to produce five points, thus showing Ettifaq as an average team in Saudi pro league.

Meanwhile, Al Taawon failed to get three points when facing Abha, and this is an unpleasant result of course because in terms of quality, there is quite a real difference between the two teams, and interestingly the 1-1 result was a goal created by Al Taawon themselves because Abha didn't even have one shot on target at all, a mistake from defender Al Taawon in stoppage time ruined the three points they almost got.
Even though they won, I don't see Al Ettipaq as that great, in fact this was their first win in the last 5 matches (including this one). This proves that they are not a club that is fully prepared. But apart from all that, this victory is indeed something good for them, they can show that they can recover after previously it was very difficult to win the match.
Al Khalej played under pressure, they couldn't develop the game, in fact they could only record 1 attempt on target. There is still a lot that needs to be improved by these two clubs, because they are currently only able to compete in the middle of the standings, if they want to be in a better place the only way is to improve their performance.

We are only halfway through the first leg of this round. Next week there are some really attracting games such as Inter - Atletico Madrid and Napoli - Barcelona.

I think both of these games are big candidates to be very competitive and lovely to watch. My favourite sides for these games are Inter and Napoli honestly. I don't think Inter would lose or draw with Atletico Madrid home while they are in a great shape. When it comes to the other game I don't like Barcelona at all this season. They are really weak at defending. This can be a good advantage for Napoli home together with Osimhen's return from AFCON.  Smiley
Barcelona this season cannot be expected to be in the Champions League, they have repeatedly shown something that is not good. Yes, they have felt this problem for a long time, especially when they started to falter in their finances. Now in the Champions League maybe they will be able to go further and get past the round of 16, but after that I increasingly doubt they will be able to get through round after round well.
Napoli this season has declined very much after they managed to become champions last season. A balanced match considering the performance of these two clubs, although personally I still see Barcelona as better than Napoli. The 2 matches between them will be very decisive, and maybe they will beat each other when they play as hosts, either Barcelona or Napoli.

I would say that he is way too overpaid for the contribution he makes to the team. I have to say that he is a good player and all, but nobody that should be paid that much and can't be replaced for half of his wage.
I'm curious and tried to find out how much Barca paid him and I found this one[1]. Is this data accurate? A 700k euro at the base amount/week is crazy. Even Salah at Liverpool, who is arguably more influential to his team doesn't earn that much. Why did Barca spend that much money on him in the first place? I failed to recall the reason why. As good as he is, paying nearly 1 million euros for a young player is just way out of left field. If the data is true then I can't help but understand why people always bring him up when talking about Barca's financial situation. But he's not at fault when a club willingly pays that much for your service IMO. CMIIW.

[1] https://www.capology.com/player/frenkie-de-jong-35562/
That's because they don't want to lose de Jong, one of the most influential players they have. They could have sold him and tried to make a profit from him, but they preferred to keep him. Now they have to pay a huge amount for this player, with their financial situation not being good it is obviously very burdensome for them, not to mention the other problems they still have.
Now whether they can afford to pay him for a longer period of time, I honestly doubt it, because they still have fundamental problems, and it could be that if they force it it will cause new problems for them.
One of the best options would be to sell it and make a profit. But the problem is that it would also be a risk for them because they would lose one of their most influential players. The decision is up to them, and they must consider it very well.

This is the danger when you don't understand what gambling really is, and on the other hand someone can become very aggressive for a reason, such as the situation that your friend is experiencing here where he is experiencing a lot of pressure from the debts he has, urgent circumstances make it difficult for someone to think to consider and find a solution that is really a solution, from the conclusion that I can here is that your friend slipped in thinking due to the pressure that was in his mind so that it made it difficult for him to think and in the end made gambling an alternative to solving the problem.

Another thing, we must understand that after all gambling is not an activity or a place to make money, because after all there is absolutely no certainty at the beginning of the session that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session, and after all gambling is a business founded by the bookie which means they are looking to profit from most gamblers who act impulsively and who try to take advantage of gambling in the wrong way, and this is why we always say that the house will always be the winner. So it's not unreasonable to think of gambling as a way to make money, but unfortunately there are still people who can't think rationally which makes them end up with bigger problems such as the increase in debt that your friend experienced and taking out a loan to gamble with the aim of paying off previous debts is a very silly decision.

My excitement occurred in gambling because I just saw people around me playing gambling, and it looked fun and celebrating for the winner. I was interested in doing it. At first I only played physically with my friends but in the end I played online casinos which felt comfortable

Everyone has something different about what they think and what makes them feel happy, like you here where you are quite happy when you see people or one of them maybe your friend who is gambling and who ends up winning, I'm sure you You can  also feel pleasure even though at that time you are not the winner, but it doesn't matter because usually  when you are next to gamblers who have won, usually they will at least give you part of their winnings which you can use for anything, whether it's to try gambling or use it for something else or celebrate it at the same time.

On the other hand, online  casinos have become more of a choice for most gamblers lately because we all have to admit that online casinos make it very easy for us or anyone who wants to gamble and one of the advantages is because you can gamble wherever and whenever you want, but The main point here is that we must continue to apply caution and vigilance wherever we play, especially if you are a beginner, where beginners are usually very susceptible to making lots of mistakes, especially because they often place their hopes on winning, and my advice is to  avoid things like that and Don't ever think of gambling as a place to make money, it's too dangerous..

the correct approach to gambling should be the one most similar to a mathematical/statistical approach.
there is no such thing as luck but there is "chance", "casuality"... looking for big payouts, however are always possible on paper this is equivalent to exposing yourself to significant risks....

Having the right and overall recommended approach to gambling will only come when they are able to look at gambling rationally from the start, because with this I am sure that they will really know about the real facts in gambling which as you said that everything there is that leads to winning or multiplying is nothing more than a "chance" in the sense that there is no certainty that anything can actually happen / be realized, but most gamblers come because they are lured by the opportunity to multiply their money, they think that it will easily materialize, when in reality it is not like that. However gambling is always about winning and losing, you can never avoid the possibility of risk because gambling is a risk-taking activity, meaning that there is no other answer when you are unlucky, you will lose. On the other hand I would only believe that gambling relies heavily on your luck, one of the reasons is obviously because there is no certainty of actually winning, all of this is natural and is a true fact because this is an activity that risks your money for an unknown end result.

The more important point is to have the right understanding about gambling, and with the right understanding then I am sure you will not make gambling as a place to earn because you know that the possibility of risk is much greater while on the other hand your winnings always depend on how lucky you are when running a session, so if you really feel that you are experiencing financial problems after you get involved in gambling then I think you have to correct your understanding along with changing your approach to gambling.

Good and accurate understanding will lead us on a good path. In gambling, good understanding will be very useful for us so that we don't gamble continuously and prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling. It is true that if we are experiencing difficulties regarding the finances we use in gambling, we should immediately think logically and correctly that gambling is not a place to make money, and immediately think about getting out of there.

Yes of course everything will be directed if we understand what we are doing, what I mean is that when you understand what you are doing then you will definitely do something that is normal and recommended which also leads to something that will not have too much significant impact, I will not say that having the right understanding on gambling is the best decision for your life because obviously if you want the best then the answer is "don't gamble at all", and what I mean is that you must have the right understanding if you want to engage in this activity because this is the only option that is best so that we don't experience many problems as a result.

On the other hand why having a correct understanding and having a rational point of view on gambling is recommended because it is by doing so that you will really know the real facts about what gambling is, most people misunderstand what is meant by "winning chances", They think that it is an opportunity to get a lot of money but on the other hand they don't pay much attention to the possible risks which is what is more likely and more often happens, so don't be easily fooled by what the casino provides, they provide winning opportunities to lure more people to get involved and when you misunderstand the winning opportunities then obviously you will become a victim by losing a lot.

I was wondering what makes someone transition from a casual gambler to a gambling addict. Here are five reasons I've identified.

  • To find an alternative full-time earning source
  • Chasing Losses
  • Lack of Alternative Income earning opportunities
  • Using Gambling as an Excuse for Personal/Profesional Problems
  • lDream of Winning Big
  • An excuse

If you have anything else then do write it down on this thread. This thread is only to help anyone who is into daily gambling realize the incident that led to compulsive gambling or everyday gambling.

This is a self-moderated thread that means if anyone here wants to vent out his or her frustration then they are welcome.

Let's hear it so that everyone knows.
And your answer is summarized in the last pound, "an excuse" I think that's enough.
But if logic is correct, anything can be a reason why ordinary gamblers transition into addicted gamblers, I will add a point that I often find in my environment, namely the "influence of the environment" invitation of friends, seeing friends gamble on an ongoing basis, seeing friends get a big win so that it attracts us to play and continue to play gambling, there is a sense of competitiveness that arises to be able to beat the winnings that his friend gets, such as wanting to be arrogant to his gambling friend.

Yes, all the lists that are displayed can indeed be simplified or summarized as reasons that encourage gamblers to act crazier which in the end all these actions do not even lead to something they want such as making money but instead make them enter the addiction phase which of course they even suffer the amount of loss. And yes on the other hand what you said is true about environmental factors which is clear that in any case the environment does have a big influence on everyone, especially on behavior change, But on the other hand maybe this is also quite dependent on each of us if for example you do reject some invitations from friends who like to gamble then obviously you can avoid the name of addiction but if you are influenced unconsciously in the sense that you don't really find out about what gambling really is and then you even start trying to play without knowing any of the dangers then obviously a high probability of addiction will occur, especially as you said if they see the victory that some of their friends managed to achieve then obviously it is like a motivation for them to be even more excessive.
