Gambling is a choice.

[lienfaye]

Gambling is a choice we did it with our own decision there is nothing that we would say could change it.
We gamble to gain something from it even though we are aware that we could lose rather than gaining what we want.
That is the risk that we took when we decided to gamble, so we must bare the consequence of it.

Exactly. When you decided to gamble your money be aware of the consequences. The problem is, if you didn't expect to lose your money because of your thinking that you can double or triple it when you gamble. Many gamblers are regretting they gamble their money after losing it in snap. Some even did worse like asking for loan, stealing money or selling their kid (rare case) to sustain their addiction. Gambling is not for weak people who can't handle losses, it's important that you know the risk before playing. Moreover, don't gamble anywhere, look for physical/online casinos that are reputable and unlikely to be a scam so you won't get trick easily and lose more money.

There are no two ways about that, and if we must have a self control over our gambling activities, then we must,, first of all, accept that we are responsible for making that choice of whether to play or not then we can take responsibility for whatever become the outcome of that decisions.

gambling is surly a choice and People gamble for many reasons: the adrenaline rush to win money, socialise or escape from worries or stress.

I don't understand what you mean, but what is clear is that in choosing to gamble there is no reason because it must change, at first a gambler is just having fun and entertaining himself but later on they will gamble to pursue victory or aim to make gambling as a place to get some money.
This is a big mistake that cannot be regretted because when someone has become addicted to gambling they will never regret what they have done or what they have lost because of gambling.

I don't think that some of the reasons you mentioned are the right reasons for choosing gambling.

He is not totally out of point . He made some cool senses;
1. Adrenaline rush to win money: We see this in our everyday life why people gamble is the desire to win big and change their lives.
2. Socialize: Some people do not have the intention to gamble but once their friends are doing it for fun, in order not to be left out, they'll like join.
3. To escape stress: Just as much as people take alcohol to relief stress, some also gamble for same purpose.

Most of us will say we are responsible in the beginning before playing gambling. But after playing for a while, we will start to lose that responsibility and eventually, after playing 30 minutes or so, we really lose that responsibility.

We can leave gambling but it depends on our intention to leave it because some people feel they have no responsibility and finally leave gambling. They don't see gambling as fun but as a temptation to keep playing for more money.

If that's the case, they will think gambling is an option. And they don't need to make that choice if they don't have a strong responsibility to make gambling a pleasure.

Although your answers are correct and I agree with them to some extent, I think that you have gone off-topic or you didn't read the OP. What happened in this case is an example of how people is sometimes forced to gamble, so in these cases gambling is not a choice anymore.

OP is not talking about those who can't decide or fail to make the correct decision when it comes to gambling: this is an unfortunate fact, but not the topic discussed in this thread.

I like that impression, gambling is for those who knows how to handle risk and know how to face reality, if you lose then you need to move forward and accept that fate, else, you will continue to chase that money and you'll be forcing yourself doing something that will lead you to lend or to sell your stuff just to fill your needs to quickly recover your money.

It's on how you handle your gambling sessions, either for enjoyment or for trying to make money, as long as you know your set limitations.

You are right, he did go off topic in the most part of his comment, by I think he returned back to the topic being discussed in the very last part of his comment, where he made mention of finding a physical or online casino that is reputable and unlikely to be a scam, so that the player don't end up being tricked, like the scenario the poster of this thread narrated in the op..

Overall, I don't view his comment to be a complete off topic as you resume though.

Yep but still there are sometime we do things without knowing and excess gambling is one of such time, this is a situation where as a gambler one doesn't have the full right to pull out when the outcome is not in their favour, this is a severe case of addiction. But on the other hand once you decide to either quite or keep playing it becomes necessary to choose because at that point the gambler is still in control., so it all still ball down to choice.

as long as we can control the choices we will make, and the gambling we do I don't think will be a big risk.
like stopping when you get a big win, and trying to withdraw the winnings. or stop when the allocated capital runs out, although we can add funds to continue the game.
the control is quite difficult for players who are already quite addicted. because what they are looking for is not just victory. but satisfaction in the game. so even though they get a big win, if they are not satisfied playing, then they will not leave the table and continue playing with the feeling of a lucky day.

...
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.

The casino is a business, so all the losers don't ever hope to get their money back.

this is the reason why we all have to be extra careful and pay more attention to the things around us because gambling is something that should be entertaining, not make you suffer losses or even fall, but from the case you mentioned, I see that the casino did nothing wrong, it was the woman who couldn't control herself when gambling so that she lost money and even her smartphone.

[Jawhead999]

If someone can't control themselves during gamble, it's better for them to not gamble.

But if they're interested about it, just make sure they're gamble using faucet, worthless coin or demo account, at least they can get the experience and not lose anything.

The problem arise when they're make a deposit, many people don't know about the enjoy and happy during gambling.

Indeed, that is a fact and a reality that is felt by everyone who is involved in gambling, especially now that 99% of gambling sites can be accessed online, there are no barriers to the consequences and choices of everyone who wants to gamble, they are easier to choose without considering the risks that will occur, no wonder in 2023, an increase in people choosing gambling, is a fantastic number for various reasons.

However, if a friend asks me, say they have $ 10k, which one should I choose to open a business or gamble, I suggest they open a business, $10k can be spent in an hour on the gaming table, the business will have a positive impact on their finances.

Gambling is just that, it cannot be dictated to anyone or oblige us to play gambling, instead the decision is up to us if we want to try or play gambling in a casino here in crypto gambling. That is why as a gambler it is important for us to know that we must also know the consequences when we enter the casino platform itself.

We also need to know our responsibility as an individual player, and this is one of the things that we should not get addicted to, instead we should just do something that will not affect our personal life and personal personality.

[benalexis12]

To be frank, I rarely gamble, because I know that usually you will always lose there. If I gamble I consider it just a game and not as a source of income or hope that I might get lucky to get the jackpot. If I win, it's only a small amount because my bet is small.
It is always up to us if we choose to gamble. So if you want to throw away money you have too much for you, my suggestion is to play gambling...

[og kush420]

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 tries, 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.

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.

the last point you have mentioned is very valid dont let anyone insists you to gamble if you are new to it then do just dive into this pool without any prior info

sometimes people are so stressed that they start gambling
Many starts it at an early age and become professional gammblor sooner

[Desmong]

In fact, it is true that gambling is a choice for each person that cannot be forced because gambling will only deal with defeat and when we lose we also cannot ask for the money back.
It is very unlikely that if we lose at online gambling, we have to be angry and cry to hope for our money back, but if it has become our own choice, we will definitely accept every risk that will be obtained, such as defeat.
So there is no need to force other people or yourself to gamble responsibly at gambling, it would be better.

correct many people are addicted from the very young age.
And many people would like to feel thr adiline gush among themselves

I don't get what you mean but addiction is something that we can not end like that because of the problem it has in it. A lot of gamblers have become and made gambling a big problem to them because they never control the way they gamble which had eaten them up. It is important for us to weigh our actions and see if it will benefit us.

The reason you are being so careful about gambling and losing money is because you are not addicted and another reason could be because you have never had a major win. If you have been lucky to win big in gambling before and understand how your networth can change overnight because of gambling, you may speak with your other tongue.
But be it as it may, a moderate gambler like you is the best, gambling is for fun, anyone looking for a steady moneh should look for job or open a business. You will have rest of mind there rather than in gambling.

Why I don't want to make a much impact or punch on Sunday in this is that it is a real bus company is the toys for you to play a gambling especially casino no more to make wearing and I choose a particular cancer again that you want or wishing to play again so universe the one do you like most to do so I believe that gambling choice

I don't understand what exactly your point you are making in this, I think it's some of your spellings are different so if I dream that I could understand your point then I would have appreciate it because it seems that you are making a nice bunch but due to your spelling and your speed and typing is what is making some of the sentence not to be understandable
