Gambling is a choice.

[Solosanz]

Games like Slots are out of anyone's control, don't even expect any good result playing such games, which is why sports are probably the most addicting game for gamblers, the fun and excitement is always there and the winning depends on the performance of players, if the game is soccer or basketball, out of many others.

I don't think sportsbetting is more addicting than slots, actually many gamblers tend to gamble on slots because it's faster and easy to play unlike sports where you need to wait for next few days or few months until the match will happen. Someone can say poker, but it's not an easy game to play.

People who gamble slots are think the probability to win is 50/50, but educated gamblers, they know the chance to win is less than sports.

I don`t have such problems. I don`t lose everything in casino and i don`t need to try to return some money back. I know that there are some gamblers that ready to bet until the have nothing to bet, but it is their problem. Someone can use this problem  to get profit, but you can go to the police if you`re sure that you was cheated.

Yes, in the case mentioned in this thread, it seems that the girl was forced or fraudulently convinced to gamble in a market of his country, and the OP was curious about this is also a thing in online gambling. In the original case, it is reportable to the police, and if you can get proof about anything similar but online, you should be able to do it too.

So gambling should always be a choice, but reality is not always so easy. We are talking about being forced or cheated, but what about those people who have no willpower and can't help but play? it is not clear to what extent they decide to play. The same is being discussed about cigarettes, and to what extent do cravings cloud judgment.

I don`t know what have to do such people. If they have a problem they have to make some effort to win it. For example i quit smoking after 20 years of smoking.

It is very important for us to make use of our head to avoid future loses. People that are big losers in gambling are losing because they don't keep attention to how they make beta which can be very risky for there healthy. When we keep losing as a gambler, we do felt the pains but atimes we might decide to keep betting maybe we can recover our funds.
 Gambling iwna choice so whatsoever is the result, we have to admit it when we become a winner or loser. When I gamble and I make loses I do step down for sometime before I go back to regain my spirit to plan get back to betting again.

It is the only right decision. We mustn`t try to win money back. Usually it means that we`ll just lose more money. We have to set some limits to stop if we reach them and it doesn`t matter time or money it would be.

Yes, you are right, mate and in short, gambler who is losing a lot is normal, it is because they are too greedy in betting they are not thinking what are the possible outcome before they bet. And we all know that in the world of gambling, gamblers must control themselves to prevent addiction and prevent such loss because gambling is all about luck and analyzing for example in basketball sports you should know and analyze who's the stronger team so that you can put your bet in them and have a high percentage of winning.

     -   I believe that slots are more addictive than other gambling categories, because there are many games here that I think are more entertaining and easier to win, so if you are unlucky in the game, you are really unlucky.

And besides this, we still need control and discipline in gambling so as not to lead to gambling addiction that will eventually affect our personality and family because this is the main thing that often happens when a gambler does not do it resposibly.

Gambling is a choice and when we make those choices and lose, we should accept the results and try to do better next time but the Op story is different. They didn't give the victim a fair chance to make the choice of gambling, she was forced to keep playing.

Most local games uses alternative powers like black magic to keep their victims playing, since it looks like that was what was used in this situation, the girl isn't at fault. Assuming she kept on gambling in her right senses then she won't have called for alarm when she lost.

It was because she realized herself and couldn't find her belongings with her is why she started to cry. We should avoid those street bets and visit a physical casino or virtually visit one on your mobile phone and play your bet carefully without been manipulated.

[YOSHIE]

Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.

I have never found someone who is involved in gambling under compulsion, if I see your story, your area is not yet independent, there are many mafia and criminal groups, Indeed gambling is adjusted to the choices of each individual, of course there are every offline and online gambler.

We know gambling has a high risk, losing and winning, all of that is a choice for each of us, losing means you take the risk you shouldn't expect any returns from the gambling industry, what else do you expect returns when you lose, for that you need to consider before making a gambling bet, so you can consider the good and the bad.

When we play we have to keep in mind that we are always the ones who choose, if we win or lose it is our responsibility and we cannot do anything other than accept, there is no other option but that, otherwise we have to know that we cannot, I will not blame the casino, nor anyone in case we lose, if we see what can happen in a casino, everything is there ready for us as players to choose, and yes, it will always be a choice, or that it makes us lose or win, everything is in our hands, that is why the game should not be allowed to beat us, that is , we should not be allowed to Fall into addictions.

[QueenVera]

Gambking as always been a choice just as everything in life is a matter of our choices and most times regrets always come at the end and that's why there is a warning that only money we can afford to lose should be used for gambling.
I'm sorry the lady had to face this incidence but since the games she went for isn't registered  and are just street games, then I just hope she learns her lesson and never get into gambling not when ahe isn't ready for the consequences  just incase things don't go as planned.

I do wish most times that the casino can just refund me .y .knew when I make losses especially  when I never budgeted for any loss fmbefkre visiting  the casino.

At first, when you pick, they'll let you win so as to drag your attention, then subsequent wins, you'll be at the losing side and the make sure the drain your pockets entirely.

People you describe are hustlers and grifters. This is not about gambling. When someone is actively persuading to do something and misleads you, it's a scam. These people lose because they are being scammed so comparing this to gambling is very misleading. Alarm bells should be ringing in your head when you are magically having a winning streak right at the start.

Gambling is up to us whether we do it or not. As long as you enter this game, you should know that this is a game that will quickly lose the money you bet on it and you can also quickly increase your money here. It depends on whether you get lucky in your gambling.
Therefore, what you bet here is that you are ready to lose that you will not regret, as if the money you use here is not needed, this is the mindset you should have as a gambler entering a casino in the crypto gambling space.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

People you describe are hustlers and grifters. This is not about gambling.

That's what I thought, although it does have to do with gambling. It is a scam that is done through gambling. Like many scams, it is based on the greed of the person being conned and they are allowed to win at the beginning or they are made to see that it is easy, as in the "shell game", as bitbollo points out.

the game is rigged.
even if you win they just run away with the money or worse they might beat you up.

it really doesn't make sense to participate in such an activity, it's a bit like turning to a ponzi scheme hoping to become rich.

Ponzi schemes, like these scams, also rely on the greed of the conned, giving them an impossible return.

For sure, everything is a choice whether it is gambling or whatever. No one is forcing you to jump into gambling and risk your money. Everyone plays gamble with their own choice and the win and lose in gambling is only for the gambler. No one will share your profit or compensate your losses in gambling.

You're basically alone in gambling and it is up to you how you spend money in gambling and how much you can afford to lose. No one knows your personal financial conditions.

Has anyone ever thought why the law doesn't permit an underage to participate in gambling? This subject is part of the reason, they must be able to know their right from their left before they could be deemed mature enough to gamble. This means that gambling is a thing of choice, once it suits you, then you should go for it.

It would be disastrous to go for what one can't accommodate but rather passes blame and aggression. I've seen some cases like this, nevertheless, one thing is certain, as long as no one forces you to gamble, you must take full responsibility for either good or bad outcomes.

In fact the players have various motivations to do it some do it for fun to pass the time, others to earn extra income some are professional players but it must be a free personal choice

[wiss19]

My thoughts, is this how we often feel when we lose out on a bet??
Do you wish the site can refund your money??

Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.

Like in the story, this is something I've seen happen as well, and to be sincere, the victims most times act like they were hypnotized or something.
But in all, the fact is that, the type of gambling in the story is not a fair gambling but a scam strategy which Is disguised as gambling , so I don't blame the victims when they act the way they act because they've been obviously scammed, I just wish that people will learn and stop allowing themselves to be victims to such scams.

Though they don't hypnotize the victims literally, they are so persuasive and good at their work that you won't even realize that you have been trapped and that is because they do this every day and plan everything beforehand, they always work as a team so that you don't think that you are into it alone and to gain your trust over the game.

Their techniques are so clean and practiced that you won't understand what just happened and they leave no room for you to think even for a moment that they are scammers until you get out of that zone and then you start thinking about everything that just happened.

OP's case is a bit different from normal gambling as it's obviously a scam. So, this is a comparison between choosing to gamble and choosing to get scammed.
When you go to a casino or an online gambling site, most of them are regulated and relatively fair, as long as you can accept that your odds are lower than they appear because of the house edge.
Street gambling is usually scam meant to steal your money and these people will lure you in promising free rolls and stuff and then they'll steal from you saying there was no free roll, you were supposed to play for money from the beginning.

[QueenVera]

The inevitable is the reasons why you are asked to gamble responsibly and gamble with what you can afford to lose so that you do not get into any  emotional trauma while gambling as the case maybe...

At the long run, no is actually compelled to gamble but just like the serpent and eve in the Bible,  what this casinos will only do is to present you the enticing  things the winnings from their games could bring and leaving you with thr choice to decide which of not very conscious, one might easily  just get drown in gambling  and that's why I still stand on the ground that gambling  is a matter of choice.

One thing that affects gamblers  is greed and also trying to break some of their past records and I don't see any need for all of that.
Putting yourself to challenge with yourself just to have a say tale.to tell friends which is absolutely  wrong.

[Kakmakr]

The thing is.... it should not come down to the point where you are looking for reasons to blame someone else for your losses. You should gamble for fun and enjoy it, if it is not fun anymore... then you should stop.

Casinos have to make money to keep the doors open for you to gamble and they use the house edge to do that... people should just accept that and play games with a more favorable RTP... if they want to play for a longer period.

Street gambling is very dangerous as we all know that there's no rebate and bonuses I'm street gambling, some of a street gambling is a scamm one and the best example of that are table game. Like my country once you play in table game then you will loss a lot because of their games. When you first saw in the table then the owner of the table want to blow your mind and they will give you a chance to win but in the long run if you can't control your self you will loss.

Even if they do it for fun, that doesn't mean they can use their money to gamble. They have to pay attention that there is a big risk of losing at gambling and if they can't control themselves, they can lose a lot of money, which has been proven by the many people who lose at gambling. If you still want to play gambling, you need good control not to lose much money. Playing gambling is a choice; no one forces you to play and let other people play.
