Gambling is a choice.

[jostorres]

Definitely you should only gamble, when you want, these type of rogues just trick the common people to fall in their traps and games which is not even fair and take all the money from them. But this can’t be happen online, as people are now a days very smart, and before depositing any amount of site in any casino, then do a complete background check on the reputation and then only they deposit. They also check that whether the games are fair or not, hence in online space the chances of getting scammed like this in the name of gambling is very less.

That's not entirely true, there are a lot of online scams even these days and they easily manage to scam a lot of people, especially newbies. The thing is, they use things and promotional banners and stuff that make people think that they are up for something really big without realizing that they are actually going to lose money instead.

Most of the scammers promise very high returns on investments and newbies easily fall for them and deposit their money only with the hope that they might earn a lot of money through these websites but in reality, they are nothing but scams.

At the same time, blockchain makes casinos and other gambling games even more honest. We can see the open source code, and thanks to this we can conclude that the game is built honestly. And this is a great breakthrough! Because who wants to play gambling games in which the chances of winning are unknown?
There is practically no chance to win on such sites and withdraw that winnings, I have dealt with similar services on Russian domains.

Even though we know the chance of winning in gambling is shown because it's open source and yet we won't know if we will win or not. It's only a practice that we do in order for us to know that the game is built honestly since we don't want to spend our money with a platform we don't have a knowledge with. In my own point of view, I'd rather play in a platform I am familiar with rather than playing in another platform that I do not know of. It's just like swimming in an unknown body of water.

I also like to use the services of only those gambling sites that I already know well. From where I have already successfully withdrawn money, and received good winnings. There is no point in learning a new platform every time if there is a proven and, importantly, licensed one. This is an indicator that the chances of winning on this gambling platform are fair and comply with the legislation of the country.

The scams are on all social networking platforms, forums, telegram, wherever there are always bots or people who deceive others, here what you should always take care of is that you cannot be falling and it is very easy to identify, when they offer In casinos or anywhere, the option to win very easily without so much effort, they also offer to win very large amounts of money, for example, win 5000usd in a slot machine and then ask for a deposit of 100usd and that has happened to me, those are the things that we must identify, when you see something very easy to earn money, there is something strange there.

If there's something which is really that too good to be true offering then it isnt really that hard to make use of your own common sense on which it would really be that normal that there's no such thing about easy money or too good to be true offerings on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be getting that fascinated on what you have seen or which is something that you dont see on everyday.
This is why on the time that you would be seeing these kind of offerings then you would normally be making your emotions and interest poke up because this is something that you do see everyday and would really be ending up on having that curiosity which might really be making yourself ending up on taking the offer and ending up on getting scammed if you are dealing with scammy sites or plarforms.
Gambling is indeed a choice on which it would be normal that you would really be playing into something that looks cool and interesting. Losing money is normal but getting scammed is something
avoidable.

It is typical for a player to use the casino he already tried and assessed again and again since he had already tried and proven that the casino will not run away his funds.  But trying a newly established casino is not bad IMO.  As long as they have license we can try them with a small amount of initial bankroll.  It also enhances our user experience and we can compare the difference in experience using the old casino and the newly established one.

[ralle14]

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

It depends on the type of bet and situation because sometimes you can't help but become emotional when the stakes are high or if you're new to gambling.

It's best to avoid those thoughts while gambling, but some gamblers are that desperate as i've seen a few cases where they'd blame their loss on the casino and think they can get a refund by mentioning the rules or inconsistency in self-exclusion.

[Fredomago]

    -   I do I agree that gambling is a matter of choice. And it doesn't mean that we chose it as a novice gambler that we are immediately addicted to it, of course it takes time to become addicted to it. But why should we choose the one if it will destroy our personality and the family we have.

You can gamble without affecting your family and close friends, are you the type who just consider it a game like in amusement you buy a token so you can play, so it should be the same with gambling when we play let's see it as just an amusement , don't take it seriously.

Being addicted does take time but we will never know when we can become addicted. We just know that we just want to gamble most of the time and don't want to do anything else. And that is why gambling is a choice and we shouldn't try it if we are afraid of becoming addicted, especially if we can't control our lust.

Seeing gambling as entertainment is a good thing, especially if it is accompanied by good self-control so that we will not experience gambling addiction in the long term. Indeed, self-control will go up and down along with the emotions that come but it's worth it, especially if we really want to prevent gambling addiction.

If you can control as your analogy will reflect to this, gambling for the sake of entertainment is good, but how far can you go controlling yourself from being addicted? That's the big question as most of the time gamble begins with some entertainment and after some games they are already engaged and from that engagement they no longer know how to limit and control, and that's the addiction that no one can really control once you are already being dominated of lies inside your minds.

Thinking that you can always win or you can simply recover the money that you already lose from your gambling activities.

It's a matter of control and how you execute the limitation that you will implement before stepping your way to gambling.

It's a natural reaction as a human to feel excitement or emotion when gambling. We are wired to be in survival, so when we see our money nearly going to zero, we just want to get it back.

I disagree, we cannot avoid that emotion. We can only embrace it. We embrace it by accepting that whatever we put in could either make or lose our money. That's the beauty of gambling, you have the choice what excitement you can chose, is it slot, is it poker? by that, you allow yourself to be more responsible of the risk you are taking.

There's freedom in gambling which means you can choose or decide on anything for yourself in gambling, just as no one can force you to gamble or stops you, if you think you want to choose a casino wallet which is centralized as your own bank for storage of your cryptocurrencies that's fine, but always know the risk associated with using online wallets and it danger, if the site is down, your money is down as well, only make a deposit of the amount you can afford to loose while gambling.

In fact, even though we know that our chance of losing is high yet, we still bet and play games. This means that it was obviously our choice and thinking about blaming ourselves (or others) makes no sense at all as we decide it at first. But why do we choose this? Because it was our pleasure and we think that it satisfies our wants and even if we lose many times, we even forget those things as we are happy to gamble. I'd say that gambling for me is not all about winning or losing but I made this because I want to and no regret to whatever happens with my money.

That's true.
We just love the thrill that gambling games give. It's not like we are forced to do it but we keep on coming because we want to feel that excitement again. I personally love sports gambling because it makes the game so much better while watching it live. It doesn't matter to me if my bet is just $5-10 because it adds fuel to the thrill of the game.
Now, whenever I watch a game where I forgot to input my bet a day before, it's not really that much fun anymore unless you are a big fan of the team you are rooting for.
So that's it, it's a choice for me and the gambling sites only helped to gain easy access to gambling instead of people looking for other person to bet against them if the sports bookies are not available near them.

[MainIbem]

I don't see this to have any serious effect on player knowing too well that is gambling and to me, it is advisable after you make your first win leave the gambling site or the casino house otherwise you could be tempted to swipe away all the winning. As a gambler you need to gamble responsibly and do not allow greed to run over you otherwise after first winning you could be tempted to try luck at this point it has resulted from chasing loses.

It's better that way rather than risking your money in a casino that is new or you don't know about. This is the same as giving your money to someone else to keep it safe even if you don't know that the person won't steal it and keep it safe. Unless, you are not a responsible gambler and the only thing you think is just to gamble and that kind of person will most likely lose money to a scam casino and only lose the money won from the casino if the casino is not a scam one.

 If we don't like the results we are getting, we can better still work on how we make our bets so that we don't end up losing big from what we are doing. Gambling is a choice we need to know and accept any of the results we are seeing. Those we keep making consistent winnings have paid the prize and still paying so we don't need to see it as a shortcut we can take to get the kind of results we are looking for.

Think gambling is a choice isn't enough reason not to tap someone you think is over betting to watch their spending  as some persons gamble  after some emotional trauma which makes the most in most cases..but  gambling  is a choice lrovide you're of age, I was thinking  maybe greed didn't let the woman leave and she began  chasing her loses and ended up on in a shit hole.
But  she shouldn't be  blaming anyone because she .ust have thought  of things to do with the money but she never thought of the reverse being the case.

I agree, as a friend, we have the obligation to remind them if they are to hook on gambling but we should not make a scenario where we need to argue with them and exchange words because, it is the right of the person to choose and do what he wants.  It isn't our part to decide for them.  So if they tend to not listen, we can still persist but in a friendly tone that he is doing his gambling activity in a wrong way and may harm him in the future.  If the guy still doesn't listen don't give up on reminding him in a friendly tone from time to time.

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

Saying that gambling is a choice sounds like a BS excuse to me. Doing drugs is also "a choice". Becoming an alcoholic is "a choice" as well.
Ruining your life is a choice. Sometimes the people lose control over their behavior and their choice suddenly becomes an addiction.
Being addicted is not a choice, it's an illness that has to be cured. The life story you are describing seems like a scam to me.

Right, I agree with what you said. that in life, we will always be faced with choices. whether it's difficult or a more challenging choice. everything, back to ourselves. So, overall I agree with what you said.

Speaking of addicts, addiction is not a choice regardless of the type of addiction. but what happens is, someone allows himself to get carried away with excessive pleasure so that it ends in addiction. Gambling is fun entertainment in today's highly sophisticated technological era. starting from traditional gambling, developing into land gambling and reaching where we can access gambling via the internet. but basically everything is the same, that gambling contains risks in it. and a gambler, must be aware of it. Gambling is not an option, but we can make it a fun entertainment activity. without having to become an addict, let alone harm the people around us.

Very well said friend, really a well detailed and structured comment..
Gambling addiction is a not an emotion we choose, it's mostly the result or should I call it consequences of our actions, gambling should be mostly seen as a fun activity, but it's rather unfortunate that most gamblers, even after knowing this, tend to forget easily, and before they know it, they are already carried away by the eager to make money, which is where the whole program starts..
I hope we all learn and always have the consciousness that gambling is a way to have fun, rather than a way to make money.

What he says is very true, because a casino player who knows what he is getting into should keep in mind that when he enters a casino, the most probable thing is not to win but to lose, why? because casinos always have the house advantage and that is something that will always happen at any time, wherever a casino goes, it always has that way of protecting itself and being able to have its winnings, the rest is something that can be taken as a way to spend money on fun and it's totally acceptable , Everyone who plays knows that they are going to have fun First.

You should have that inside you to avoid trying to beat the house, should be more on enjoyment or something can give you control with how you deal with your gambling, participating in this kind of industry always accompany by risk, if you don't know how to control or if you think that you will not be able to control yourself, much better not to deal with gambling.

Taking into the account gambling responsibility is under the person/gambler itself. Having the right set of idea will allow you
not to engage but just to have some fun, then quit your way out whatever the outcome after playing.
