The madness of gambling addicts.

oh, yes
this is where luck comes in the equation
it's not only about skill, math and logics
all the odds are stacked against the gambler and in favor of the house

good point Betwrong
sometimes there's no way to bet right.

Thank you! Yes, skill, math and logic won't help you to win in dice, but if you think of it, the odds are not that much in favor of the house, if we are talking this particular game. On most gambling sites the house edge of the dice game is only 1% and although it's true that the odds are still against you, it's not like it's impossible to win, you know. And even with slots that have 4%-5% house edge your win is possible.

But that's not to make gambling addicts out of regular gamblers. Gamble responsibly, guys. Have fun, don't try to make money even though the chance of that isn't that small.

good points again, you can find a balance where you gamble for fun with money you can afford to lose and don't become and addicted
and you are right 1% house edge isn't so high, I didn't know it was like that
even for slots.

what is the game you play the most?

It used to be Dice for like several years when I only had started with my gambling career. Then I switched to poker(not Video Poker, but real poker with real people at the table). And it's slots for like 3-4 years. I really like playing slots with good animation and sounds. Also, I've been always doing sports betting ... in fact, there's probably no game in gambling that I haven't tried.

for some reason I didn't really find slots that I enjoyed playing

by gambling carreer you mean, for real? you live out of gambling?
or you mean more like your journey on it?

poker is definitely more enjoyable in person than online.

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

Gambling addicts have committed crimes just to satisfy their desires.An addicted gambler does not reason or care  about the actions they are about to carry out which means their urge is uncontrollable.For example the gambling addict that kidnapped his grand daughter to play a bet didn't care about the action he carried out because all his aim was to win the game so nothing seemed more valuable to him at that point than the gambling.Gambling addicts take risks that doesn't brings profits,some even go extra mile to lend money with interest,sell their valuables just to satisfy the addiction.Gambling is actually not a bad thing but when it becomes an addiction it then becomes a problem.

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

Ironically when there are people who cannot control addiction in gambling, this is just a small example of many gamblers that ended worse and there are some who end their lives because they are in debt when gambling. Gambling is responsible when you are not addicted and when it cannot be controlled, in my opinion it is difficult to be responsible for gambling choices.

The problem is how you put gambling, if done only for fun in spare time is not a problem. But when gambling is done as a substitute for permanent work, this will be far more problematic and it is very difficult to control, the decision is in each of us and as much as possible avoid addiction in gambling.

Why do you think it is difficult to bear responsibility for the love of gambling. Who then should bear this responsibility? A person is directly responsible for things that deprive him of freedom. Including gambling.
Not all people can control themselves and play only for pleasure, so if a person has problems with addiction, this should be detected as early as possible and stop playing.

Stealing your granddaughter is probably an extreme degree of addiction. And it doesn’t matter whether we are talking about gambling addiction or drug or alcohol addiction or something else. When your own life begins to suffer due to gambling addiction, this is no longer a very good sign, but when others begin to suffer, this is something completely different. Here a person needs serious help, I know for sure that God can help where people cannot.

Gambling addiction can have tragic consequences. It's not just about the financial cost, it can also lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide, we've seen and heard of people who committed suicide simply they have incurred debts they have no idea of how to repay, all because of their gambling addiction. And it's not just the person with the gambling addiction who is affected - their family and friends can also be affected by the emotional and financial consequences.

I agree that we should all bear responsibility for  everything we do
Gambling is no exception
 of course one can also enjoy gambling and not see it as something that deprives them of freedom.

Yeah, at the end of the day many people just want to have fun really, and if you remove their way of having fun then I don't think that's a great society to be in.

In the end everyone wants to be a happy part of society and many times that can happen without so much interaction with others.

Gambling addiction can have tragic consequences. It's not just about the financial cost, it can also lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide, we've seen and heard of people who committed suicide simply they have incurred debts they have no idea of how to repay, all because of their gambling addiction. And it's not just the person with the gambling addiction who is affected - their family and friends can also be affected by the emotional and financial consequences.

That's right, gambling has tragic and devastating consequences in large numbers. Because there have been many cases of people who have suffered huge losses due to gambling or other things that are more detrimental to themselves whether it is financially or physically. There are also many people who are crazy about gambling where they spend a lot of money on gambling that is not clear that it will give them benefits. However, it cannot be hidden that many gambling addicts are currently on the loose, especially with the current online gambling.

Excessive gambling can harm yourself as well as others around us, because gambling addiction can indeed get us into debt, there are not a few cases of people whose lives were destroyed because of debt caused by gambling addiction. The negative impact of gambling addiction is great, because it does not only harm yourself. As you said his family and friends can be affected by their gambling addiction.

Exactly right.

Gambling is no joke.

It can of course be fun, and many people enjoy it casually, but definitely there is a certain amount of people that struggle with it, and that their whole lives have become way worse after their addiction to gambling.

But that's the same with anything really. If you lose control you end up at a bad spot.

[Accardo]

Mind control and emotional intelligence is required in gambling. The issue with gambling and gamblers is that it's freely made, anyone, anywhere will participate in gambling. Few people will only develop the urge to understand it better, while many others would focus on the funds. Playing without any experience on ways they could control their behavior. And stay clear from problem gambling. So, it's crucial for gamblers to learn from the mistakes of others and implement strategies that would help them not be in some ill problems with law enforcement agencies. Gambling was not created for players to commit problems in the society. Although it takes a large share of the blame, but the gambler knows he was careless about his moves and strategies. Instead of building up such bad records on gambling, it's better for newbie gamblers to focus on learning better how they could be good, responsible gamblers.

Playing gambling without any experience or not wanting to learn what is needed when playing gambling can put you at greater risk of losing money. Many people have experienced it so we don't need to try it because it will only make us lose even more money. We must not be careless in using our money and must always limit our money for gambling. Otherwise, we will only regret it when we see that all the money has been lost on the gambling table while we cannot recover the losses we have experienced. And instead of us also experiencing other big problems where we can become addicted to gambling because we don't have self-control, it's better that from now on, we have to learn better so that we can control ourselves when gambling. We must be able to understand that gambling is just entertainment, and there is no need to take it too seriously. We must always know that we have boundaries that must not be violated. That can prevent us from gambling excessively and can also prevent us from bigger problems where we can experience gambling addiction.

The journey for every gambler is quite different. Those who wish to have a safe experience need to back it up with some knowledge of what they're doing. It's not a thing of competition, but a self-game against our thoughts and brain. Gamblers have nothing to bother about the house. Instead, reverse remains the case for most gamblers, they end up trying to defeat the house. Not every gambler has this type of orientation. Hence, they end up going through the harsh route of gambling, putting themselves into hardship. What matters is to enjoy the process and wager what we are able to lose. If not, I don't understand any other reason why a gambler shouldn't mind his funds and stay careful about how he wagers it.

Many are in a hurry to hit it big. While some are for the fun and learning critical techniques, others have the intention of stopping after a huge win, and many others who have their individual reasons of playing gambling. That's why it'll be hard to control the attitude of the numerous gamblers in the world. Millions don't have the backup knowledge of the need to be a responsible gambler. Nothing can be done about that, it's an individual journey. And no gambler is clean. Any player can be a victim. So, the safety routine should be practiced on daily basis. Gamblers shouldn't think that they're good and can't get into problem gambling, that could be a big lie. The whole time we gamble, we need to respect the rules and manage our bank roll.

But that's the same with anything really. If you lose control you end up at a bad spot.

indeed gambling is not a joke, because in my opinion things related to money and profits should not be made into a joke, especially since there are profit and loss factors, it is clear that something like this must be done carefully because otherwise of course big losses will be obtained and not there are people who want harm to happen to themselves. Therefore, we should gamble carefully, not just gambling, in my opinion all things involving money, including profits and losses, must be done carefully.

They enjoy their gambling so much that it makes them lulled into gambling which traps them in losses and addiction to gambling. It's true that what you said is that their lives are ruined because they are addicted to gambling, that's a case that happens a lot, now if you compare the number of people who gamble and are not addicted, maybe there are many who are addicted, and that also indicates the number of people whose lives are ruined because they are addicted to gambling financially or other. What you say is true, if we lose control then it will most likely end badly, like someone who is addicted to gambling, I think because they have lost control of themselves, where they have been lulled by gambling to the point that their thinking is not clear, hoping that gambling can give them victory. big ones and make them rich quickly.

that's true
sometimes we want to be around other people and sometimes it's ok to be alone too in front of the computer
there's also the level of introversion and extroversion that will vary a lot from person to person

Yes, and it truly depends on how we're feeling—whether we want to gamble in public or alone at times. In terms of myself, there were moments when I wanted to have more outgoing social skills and enjoy the company of others to enhance my experience. We could rejoice in our victories together as well as share our sorrows when we lost. I feel like I can build connections with them and be able to know their strategy, and they can also give me some advice. 
However, there are moments when I would much rather gamble in front of my computer than interact with people. I feel like I can focus on the game without interruption and that I can avoid pressure from other players or friends. But that was just my viewpoint, and everyone has a different idea of how they gamble.

Yeah, but there is still a difference between the two worlds.

When you are in a physical space with other people, society is there to bounce your attitude back to you when you start drifting away from normal behavior.

The problem with online presence is that there's a lack of feedback from society so many people end up in a bubble that is sometimes dangerous.

You need to have checks and balances while you live your life as you are constantly moving towards different areas, and society gives you that feedback but online there's a lack of that, which creates more extreme people.

It will always end worse for anyone who cannot control the activity of spending money irresponsibly and that doesn't only apply to gambling because out there there are also cases of drug use that end much more tragically.
It is difficult to be a responsible gambler when people only rely on gambling as a place to make money because they may not be able to make a portion of the money they spend.
Gambling is always interpreted as a negative form because it is difficult for gamblers to control themselves, but for me if people can control their budget for gambling it is not a problem.

Yeah, every gambler's journey is different and will not be the same. But they have the same things to learn to avoid anything bad happen to them. Many gamblers can't hold themselves regard winning the gambling games which makes many of them lose their mind because of wanting to beat the house. They already know it's not easy to do but they don't want to stop even if they used more money. A gambler shouldn't chase the win as gambling is not design to give winning easily. A gambler should enjoy their time playing gambling in their spare time and always limiting their money. They don't need to play gambling too seriously considering gambling is just for fun. If they can't control their mind, they will lose their money and can't enjoy their time playing gambling.

When a gambler lose their money in a losing streak, they become madness and lose their mind. At that time, they can spend more money just to recover their lost and will not think about what will happen to them if they loss all of their money. They will only chase the win and play many gambling games and hope they can win from one or two gambling games. They really need to change their minds because that is a wrong thing if they just playing gambling without stop. They will not enjoy the games instead just losing their money.

It is true that if you can control the budget the problem will not affect much. But many times it is seen that gambling is a game with which issues of addiction and addiction come very strongly. Due to which gambling creates a negative reaction in us. Gambling affects every aspect of a person's daily activities and gradually begins to disintegrate. In gambling rather than financial gain the excitement of the game acts as the main catalyst behind its addiction. The person spends most of the day thinking about gambling and is ready to increase the amount of bets along with the addiction the addict also suffers financially.

Therefore, we should gamble carefully, not just gambling, in my opinion all things involving money, including profits and losses, must be done carefully.

Quick money can blind the best of us, turning an innocuous hobby into a devouring beast. I've seen how gambling can trap people and ruin them. Addiction trumps reason, according to the data.

Remember the power of personal agency. Though loss is high and addiction is strong, education and self-control make effective opponents. Gambling education and addiction detection are vital. Responsible gambling and support networks for the fallen are needed. Not merely avoiding injury, but also building resilience and healing.
