Gambling on Psychology & Sociology Perspectives.

[coolcoinz]

A good example of entertainment is pachinko, a game popular mostly in Japan, but it can be found in many Asian countries. It's basically a type of pinball where you drop metal balls and try to get them fall into certain gates and holes. It's entertaining and very addicting because balls are cheap and $50 can get you a big bucket that will allow you to play for hours. If you go to a pachinko house you'll find that people are sitting them with whole trays and buckets full of balls and dropping them into the machine for hours, sometimes a whole day.

In my opinion there will always be people who are not able to control themselves and this applies not only to gambling but also to alcohol, drugs, promiscuity and even sports. Those who don't see the line between responsible attitude to their health and their money will always get into unpleasant life situations and have problems. So the sooner a person realizes that he must learn to limit his desires, the stronger his health (both physical and psychological) and financial situation will be.

When we meet a beautiful girl and invite her to a restaurant, we are well aware that we will spend the money for dinner, but it does not guarantee a continuation of a wonderful evening. I do not quite understand why many people do not want to understand the simple truth that we should also pay to play in the casino.

people are willing to spend money for their entertainment, their traditions as well as improving their skills and this is human nature

when gambling for pleasure then there is nothing wrong with that, when gambling to respect traditions that have been carried out since time immemorial then there is also nothing wrong with that, as long as you are able to control yourself (not to lose your family and yourself) then that's fine

btw, if you have a lot of free time you should read this topic too;

• The Gambler's Fallacy (The key to unbiased gambling)
• Psychological Technique - Play without Pressure
• Keeping A Record Of Your Losses Will Make You Realize To Stop Gambling
• Gambling and health 🤕symptoms
• The Paradox of Gambling behavior
• Greatest Gambling Losers

With all the data which we have gathered on Bitcointalk, I would not be surprised if a psychology scientist decided to to look deeper into the posts for their research on gambling, especially crypto gambling.

Although I admit, I am quite interested in the topic as well. Although I am looking at the neuroscientific aspect for now, I would probably look in the psychological aspect as well. Flashing lights, color psychology, number psychology it all can be tweaked to a point where you can basically hypnotize someone.

Everything would really be just fine if you do really know on how to set limits not only in gambling but also in other things as well where you should have the control and does have the patience.If you do seek for leisure

then its not bad to spent some money out of it but dont expect nor hope that much because thats not how thing works on making easy wins.People should realize that gambling does have high risk and never ever
consider on making it as a living or making it as a hobby because you would really be putting yourself into some addiction. We do have that very common perception that gambling could make us rich
in a short time but of course if you would hit up some jackpot or huge multipliers but we know that odds is something close to impossible thats why never ever mind off on making yourself
to hit up that kind of probability.

Me going home with empty pocket is not very entertaining at all. I don't think it would before majority of the people who has wife and kids. It may be for the rich who are not having money problems but finance is always the reason for wife and husbands quarrel, you get entertained in the casino but at home will not be entertaining.

The Chinese has distinctive look of things and gambling is among it but one reason gambling is ban in China is probably because gambling produces more dysfunctional families so they created an isolated place where only rich are able to gamble.

If you are a family man, and yet your focus is still on gambling, clearly it will create a huge problem especially if you lose all your hard-earned money which is supposedly intended to fund for family expenses. Irresponsible gamblers are mostly the cause of a broken family since they cannot prioritize their families anymore and leave them hungry almost all the time. With this case, China is right to ban gambling. However, gambling as a part of Chinese tradition, I think that should only be practiced occasionally when there are reasons to celebrate, but not that people should fall into gambling addiction.

It's probably because they don't think much about the truth so they still just play in the casino and spend some money. If they really realized it, they would not play gambling in the casino too often but only occasionally and even then not use too much money for only a few moments. But the temptation of gambling gets bigger with what they get, whether winning or losing, so that's what makes them spend more money.

At first, they can be responsible for themselves but as the temptation grows and greed grows, the responsibility will disappear and eventually they forget themselves.

Weeeeeell, guys, it turned out that one of my teachers is a gambler with an exp of 20 years XD I think it'd be cool to team up with him and write a term paper about gambling! damn, I wish I was a psychologist

Having a family and still continuing your gambling activities would only cause conflict and issues if you won't be able to manage it. Not all families has concerns for gambling related activity but you must always know your priority and know your limits when gambling as you are not only living for your own but rather for your love ones as well. Financial problem is one of the common issue between families as it's one of foundation to be able to survive but it is also why people relates gambling with this as more and more people gets addicted to gambling.

I think it will all depend on you, some people play gambling occasionally and their families knew that there's no bad thing about that. It will only matter if you are already addicted to it, if you know your limits and you put your family first before your hobby (gambling) then it is good. Emotional support from the family really can help us if we are getting addicted to something. If a family can no longer support someone with their addiction or it can't help so much, he needs to rehabilitate.

Gambling is part of Chinese culture. It is seen as the right way to test luck, especially on holidays like Chinese New Year, as well as to get rid of bad luck.

I was quite surprised when I read this article for the first time because they gamble not for money or pleasure but because of the culture to test luck.

this does sound funny but what do you do if it turns out that your culture requires you to play gambling?

The link is not in English I don't know if the content carries the fact of your post, I have a lot of Chinese friends but they don't do gambling to test their luck but rather to enjoy the game, I don't think there are cultures that require you to gamble, there are precautions if they let you gambling but encouraging is not a good culture to grow up with, gambling is part of the Chinese culture but it's on individual's preferences not impose by cultures.

I would not comment that gambling is a part of any culture as it is NOT in the present times. However, the relationship between Luck and Gambling is highly interrelated. If you think about how people win in gambling then you will know that it is only Luck that makes the gambler win or lose.
If you want to know if you are a lucky or unlucky person, perhaps you can play a few gambling games and know about this fact 

[TheUltraElite]

Gambling is defenitely a part of different cultures and has been talked about in ancient texts. They have though, warned the reader about the ill-effects of gambling addiction and how the gambler is forced by their own mind to gamble more and thus self-control to stop this compulsion.

I would say that such texts are only a warning note. Cultures that have gambling ingrained in them should be avoided by those who are known addicts and trying to avoid making the same mistake again. If you visit Las Vegas you would defenitely spend a few hundreds (or thousands) on their slot machines but keep that as once a lifetime thing. Dont come back to claim your losses, because we all know that the outcome of that is loss.

Gambling may be part of Chinese culture but I don’t see it compulsory for everyone. That is why even if the Communist party has banned gambling, there is still a city left where all gamblers are safe to engage in their pursuit. I guess this is done as part of respecting their ancestors culture as no matter what banning the government will do, there will always be people who prefer gambling in most of their lives. Although gambling is a test of luck for Chinese, but it’s still a clear evidence that people gamble to try out their luck and still aim to make fortune.

sometime when people are in need of money and they are desperate to get it they jump into the gambling - they come either successful or unsuccessful
but they do give it a try in the time of depression - may be due to their own trouble, to make the love happy - or any medical urgency. sometime we all are become so helpless and makes mistake.

this does sound funny but what do you do if it turns out that your culture requires you to play gambling?

As with many things in life, it can be hard to break out of the environment in which you are raised and the only way to do so can be a well rounded education. However sometimes you can end up in a tricky situation, where you can only receive that sort of education if you are brought up in a stable home - potentially with access to things like holidays which broaden your perspective, a school system that supports all types of learning, and a family that is supportive. In most cultures, being lucky is regarded as an obscure curiosity that people generally put little faith in, from what I've seen in China it is an all encompassing part of their society - almost their religious belief - which is one thing that Mao was possibly unable to stamp out when purging religion. It is a dangerous and silly trait which actually means they overlook a lot of important factors when planning anything at all

When bad things happen then those desperate calls is really common even we do know that it isnt really a good choice but since we are on a situation where there are no other options
left then this is where we do really ending up but its a personal choice since not all could able to tolerate such risk and there's a good self control and discipline on oneself.
Gambling is never been a wise thing or making it as an option whether thinking that you are making yourself rich or making it as a solution into your debts.
Gambling is for fun and never intended nor ideal on making it as a problem solver when it comes to finances which is really a very bad or wrong idea.

Before I read this topic, I would never have guessed that chinese people bet to try their luck!!

Well, I've read a few times in the internet and seen some videos that the chinese are superstitious, I believe this is something cultural. (but never thought it was that way lol)

[Slow death]

I'm wondering how gambling makes one get rid of bad luck? These Chinese believe in everything that is without logic, but in the end, there is no question with people's beliefs, if they believe in such things we can only look and shut up and wish them good luck. gambling are divided into gambling based on luck and gambling based on strategies, and even in gambling based on luck math comes in, making people not only depend on luck

[LUCKMCFLY]

What I like about all this is that if we had a bit of that Chinese culture, there would be no addiction problems, because everything is very simple, if you play and don't win, it can be interpreted that at that moment you have bad luck and for , that is, he does not insist, he leaves and comes back at another time, and this is not bad if we see it from the mental health point of view, in other players when they lose a lot they believe that luck is on their side and they insist on continuing to play to win and to win back what you have lost.

If a player takes into account that he plays to try his luck and to have fun, if he is not lucky he only has fun, but if he is lucky and has fun he also wins, that combination is not bad.

When you check the age of those people who is ready to spend their money for entertainment you will see that those people are aged so therefore someone that is adult do not spend it money for entertainment because it have a diversity or many project that will give rise to money so any adult is thinking to build it future
