Gambling is a choice.

[kotajikikox]

Petty people are found both online and offline, one should stay away from them. It was woman's fault to bother with these people in first place, just like if you get scammed online, gullibility is to be blamed.

well blaming someone will never change the reality that we are loser in some time.
there are others that succeed while many are losing but still gambling continue to grow and that is because of the nature as we are excited and looking for higher chances  of winning.
I agree that we must blame gullibility and change this in future to not become addicted .

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.

It can be a strategy - the gambler can make risky bets with high odds to get big prize. It is possible situation and even i have a friend who doesn`t bet if the odd less 2.5. Of course his win rate is about average, but as he says - he has surplus in his bets. The problem if the gambler tries to return his money and increase risk and bets. And of course you have to make a research before bet.

If we are unable to handle our loss in gambling we should not gamble in the first place only because we will always get sad or blame others for our loss so better stay away from it and keep your funds safe with you.There are people who will win and others loose as your luck will determine the outcome but you should not copy someone else and enjoy with your budget.

The best thing to do is to avoid getting caught up with them I whatever ways,  and if possible never let their practices attract you in any ways, and you are right when you talked about gullibility being a reason for most online scam but then also there are other factors that can contribute to scam reality such as manipulations and other fetish practices that work on the emotions of the victims.



In this case in the ops is not about losing but being robbed by those scheme operators and their accomplish,  so even or not you lose no one wins unless the scheme operator who ends up stealing from everybody and this practice is more or less scam more than it is gambling.

I think your friend has a high commitment in every bet he chooses even though the risk is high but I'm sure he is good at analyzing and predicting overall.
Choosing odds 2 over it is the right choice for him because he usually already has a way to recover the losses if there is a surprise or your friend chooses on the main sports bet or on the favorite club?
But even though it's too risky it has become a choice.

Something happened in my locality and I just wonder if that's how we also behave in the online space.

So, they're always a group of rougues in my country, they're often sited in the market place where there's a reasonable population, what's their work???

The have things in a martch box like stones and sticks, they'll ask you to pick the one out of it that has something, depending on what the want....

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.

So, just last week, this lady fell a victim and she was shouting and crying, the had obviously emptied her pocket and even gotten her phone from her in the process of the gambling.

I have sighted these sets of individuals many times at different locations, haven heard about them and their gimmicks on how they use fetish means to attract their victims immediately their attention is drawn to the games being displayed.

Just like online gambling sites with unfair gambling patterns this kind is in our physical environment and it's been rigged through some supernatural means preying on the vulnerability of their victims by milking them financially to the last penny.

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

Losing out on our bet or bets is normal for a gambler and there's no need feeling bad about it in as much as you weren't compelled to. In same way you would have felt cool winning, same should be applied when we gets a loss to.

I haven't had that thought or feeling of having the gambling site to refund me of my money I use in gambling and I believe that's because I always use an amount of money I can always easily let go should I lose out.
People that do have the feeling of having their money being refunded are people that uses all they have including their savings to gambling, which is a very bad habit.

[savetheFORUM]

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.

She obviously has learned her lesson, the guy who made her gamble with his was actually a scammer and these scammers are pretty good with their job of scamming random people crossing by, they are so persuasive that you won't even notice or realize that you are being scammed until the end when you have lost everything and they are gone.

They are so clever and come in teams to trap you in, they have hired people that act like other players like you and they manage to win according to their plan and that is when you start believing in it more.

Those schemes can be in every place where poverty is at high. It's true that gambling is a choice and when you've lost, you just can't ask a refund to the operators.

The same goes with the typical gambling that we does that if we lose, there's no way the casino will give us that money back. That's why they've got features of self exclusion for those addicted gamblers.

As OP have shared a story, it consists of bought tricksters and gambling.

He was very confident with his bets and he chose them. And I believe that it was not the first he do this for sure, but it was been used many times and probably earned some money from it and so he keep doing that. It is not just a choice but it was his strategy. He for sure knows what will happen to him and no reason he would blame others for his loss.
As a gambler, I know what strategy works for me but of course, we have to accept that not all the time works, losses are still possible in gambling no matter what we do.

You've made a really valid point by saying that before placing a wager, a person should weigh the risk involved and get mentally ready because gambling has a much higher loss rate than win rate. I know of some individuals that gamble for a living and they are doing well, still wondering how they are doing it, for someone like me I only gamble for fun and am always pained when ever I lose since my mindset  is always set on winning always. Everyone gambling has different stories to tell about  gambling, some stories are actually very sad after they have sold everything just to gamble.

Those schemes are indeed popular in places where poverty is common and where people is also uneducated on how gambling works and even the tricks used by those crooks to rob anyone blind.

Here in this region on my country there was a legendary tricker who used three coca-cola taps and a little ball, he shuffled it and dared you to guess where it was. This happens in a town by the river.

At first he made you believe that you were going to pocket some money by playing, until suddenly the ball never appeared again and you were left out with nothing in. His crooks assistants were also there to intimidate.

Every time he was going to lift the tap he said to his victims: "Say Coca-Cola!
And then he would shout again: "Let the ball disappear!"

The whole thing rhymes in Spanish.

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

What you mentioned is crime and how is it happening often when there is law enforcement in a country. But that's a compulsion and more of a stealing than saying gambling whereas gambling in a casino its our decision cause no one forced to get in their and bet our money so you can't expect the casino to refund the money when you lose.

But there are some people who started gambling because of someone compelled them to do let's say friends as common that's how people with no intention of gambling introduced to gambling but it happens only once and we have all the remaining days to decide what is best for us.

I think the decision people make when they gamble online is different from when they gamble on the street. In the street, they might just see those tricks and think that people are really winning, and they can also feel so convinced that it's just an easy thing to do and an easy win, so they rush to engage in playing without knowing the rules, and when they have totally loss everything they have on them, they will realize themselves and begin to cry (that's if it's a woman).

But when it comes to online casinos, before someone gambles, he or she already knows that it's not a physical gambling hall and they cannot request their money back once they lose. Gambling is just a choice; if you are not ready to lose at all, don't gamble. People even feel more entangled with street gambling than online because, in real life, gambling is so manipulative that the more you gamble and lose or win, the more drive you will have to gamble more. I may not be actually correct, but I feel so convinced that there is usually a much higher urge in real-life betting than online.

For example, those people who bet while boxers are in the ring boxingy will have more pressure to cast another bet on another person that they think will win the next round. same applies on people who bet in the stadium. We all see how it happens in some American movies.

[SamReomo]

First of all, the lady lost everything because of her own greed. In the world of gambling either you win or lose and mostly the gamblers who have no control over their emotions will lose the bets rather than winning those. That's the reason it's called gambling but if those rouges are using tactics to fool innocent people then that's a kind of robbery rather than gambling but still she betted with her own consent and as a result she lost everything.

The sites will never return you the money that you have lost because if they return everyone's money then how will they earn money themselves? As you know that there are some winners as well and they earn enough from gambling. The game is simple one wins the other lose and it's the way of gambling. The sites might give you some rewards for betting but returning the money that you have lost isn't a feasible thing for their service.

Gambling is better than shitcoins. At least it is fun.

LOL, I don't know how you can even compare the two.
In any case, if you don't want to gamble simple as that, even if the odds are enticing or even if the bookies or who ever run the illegal gambling den will let you win. They know how to play on people's mentality, but once you are hook it's very hard to get out. So the first lesson is that if you can't take gambling responsible then stay away from it. Second is that you should not be greedy, if you win some and then stop and go home and enjoy the money that you have won. Otherwise you will be trap forever looking for the bigger win. And the more you play the more money you are going to lose in the long run.

Definitely, they won't. That is why this business is a very lucrative one.
Also, you will never hear a casino returning money to their players who lost big time.
Maybe, in the form of cashback feature. But returning your lost money, I don't think so.
But the story from the OP, such people are really scammers not the same with a casino who have set their rules.
If you happen to see one in your neighborhood, better not to bet as they have their way of screwing their players.

Ofc, it is better than Binary Options lol. Trading low-volume altcoins has a low return on the investment but you can make 1000x of the initial bet amount or deposit but the gambler can lose only 100% of the balance in the gambling world. Maybe a comparison is not right since the first option is gambling while the second option is related to the trading world. Fun depends on the person, someone with a different mindset may not like trading or gambling. Just my 2 cents.

Well if we are gambling what we can afford to lose then it won't have much impact in our emotion but if we gambled the money for allocated to paying bills then we can have the feeling of restlessness and regret because  we should have not gamble that money and losing it bring trouble on where to get the money that is allocated for bills.

Do you wish the site can refund your money??

If the casino is willing to give refund for my losses then why not.  Although it will not happen, the idea of a casino giving a refund really sounds nice

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

Well, at the end of the day, the decision about gambling is always been ours.  No one can persuade us to do anything that we don't like.  Even with heavy persuasion, if we really don't want to do any gambling then we can always avoid it, but it is obvious that many of us here are voluntarily playing in a casino.

If there is one thing I learned over the years of gambling, it is that the house always win. Sure, there were times where I won huge amounts of money but at the same time, I lost more than I gained in the process of gambling.

At the end of the day, gambling is a choice that is made by the person. He/she embraces the risks that may follow in the course of their actions given the nature of the game itself. The odds and results are what define your subsequent actions as this would either make or break your whole situation.
