Why People Still Gamble?

[macson]

People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

At this time, parents really need to give an explanation to their children about what really makes them become outcasts if they continue to gamble because long-term effects are bad things that will definitely happen to them when their personalities change into people who are just crazy about gambling. 

i, as an older brother who has several younger siblings, keep saying that gambling is actually not bad as long as we can control ourselves when gambling, what's worse is that we get swept up in gambling and forget about our social life and are even willing to spend money and precious time just for can continue to gamble.

As for me i think the parents owe the children nothing to explain for them as long as they never let the vacuum of their responsibilities in training the children remain void, when your children never have access to gambling or where they do such then you owe them no explanation, parents have their own part they play from their children way of upbringings, they must not engage doing things that we will not be aware of which may affect them in life the wrong way.

You can’t control or limit your kid to have access on gambling since internet makes it accessible to everyone while most of the kids on this generation can't leave without gadget and internet since it's the new way of communication and learning things.

As parent, I think it's more suitable to educate your children about potential risk of doing instead of discovering it by their own and experiment on it out of their curiosity. This is the common mistakes of parenting, They don't want to tackle things like this that eventually being discovered by their children by themselves and secret this from their parents.

Hello uche6215 ,

You raise some thought-provoking points about the societal perceptions of gambling. Indeed, it is often viewed negatively, and rightfully so, when it becomes a destructive habit or an escape from life's challenges.

However, we perceive gambling differently at Chipstars. Let me share with you how we envisage responsible gambling.

1. Entertainment, Not a Means to an End: We promote gambling as a form of recreation, not a means of generating income or escaping problems. We advocate for playing responsibly, with moderation and control.

2. Transparency and Fair Play: Chipstars ensures a transparent, fair play environment.

3. Support System: We take responsible gambling very seriously. We offer tools for players to set limits on their wagering and provide resources for help if gambling becomes a problem.

4. Secure and Legal: Chipstars operates within the bounds of the law, ensuring the safety and security of our users' data and money. We are not a back-alley card game but a registered, trusted, and regulated entity.

5. Community: We have a thriving community where users can discuss strategies, share experiences, and learn from each other. It’s not just about winning or losing; it's about the shared love for the game.

Remember, like any other activity, the key to gambling is moderation and control. Gambling should be enjoyable and not adversely impact your life or those around you. As for the mystery you mentioned, perhaps the allure lies in the thrill of the game, the unpredictability, and, sometimes, the community that forms around it. At Chipstars, we aim to provide a positive, responsible platform for those who enjoy this form of entertainment.

Join us at Chipstars, and let’s redefine what responsible gambling can be!

Your friend in the game,

I very much agree with you, major problem we have in our societies today is that most parents don't give their children the time they need, most parents of nowadays are extremely busy themselves and have not the time to pay attention to what their young lads are doing outside home, or even in their private space, like in their rooms with their phones or personal computer..

In as much as we preach self control and all other measures that helps curtail gambling addiction, truth remains that the up bringing of a child play an important role in what their future may look like, and bringing up a child in a good manner is the responsibility of the parents and a joint efforts with their teachers in school, this can help a child gain a good knowledge of the good and bad way of gambling, and he being sensible can avoid the bad way of gambling to avoid addiction.

All the people who speak and say, you don't have to stop them too much , if you do something good for them it's wrong , and if you do something that they consider to be wrong they put you as the worst, casino games are a way of fun , of fun very carefully because not everyone can be doing things to please others, if we like the casino, then you have to play, enjoy and that's it, it doesn't matter what others think.

The reason why I think that casinos are the best fun is because the adrenaline kicks in Quickly , you Experience emotions and you have a lot of Contact with Money.

It’s bit much to say that those are real allegations. I think what we need to understand is gambling and how it’s connected with people. Most of the people are here by choices. Some of them love gambling because they are real with it, they sometimes make it their job, a way to income source and much more. While some of them are just playing for fun and there is no real deal with such people. They won’t care if they are profiting or not. They neither look for recovering their losses and much more. While on the other hand there comes people that you describe who are getting on the wrong foot all the time. I think they are none of the above. They are chaser and gambling isn’t about it.

In fact, it's not always by choice. You initially go to the casino by peer-pressure, naivete, or curiosity. Then some people get hooked. "The Power of Habit" a book by Charles Duhigg has a chapter about how the 'power of habit' helped a casino to manipulate the behavior of Angie Bachmann, a compulsive gambling addict. The casino took advantage of the fact that there is no law that obligates a casino operator not to entice or contact gamblers that it knows or should know are compulsive gamblers and went ahead to entice Angie. This was likely at a time when there weren't as severe restrictions on casinos as they exist now.

Right now, we have to follow:
1. Self-exclusion programs
2. Age restrictions
3. Advertising regulations
4. Mandatory warning messages
5. Game rules and odds
6. Licensing and oversight

But it wasn't always this way, and it's still far from perfect.

For those that are curious, other notable publicly available addiction cases include:

• Andre Agassi: The retired professional tennis player wrote in his autobiography, "Open", about his struggles with various forms of addiction, including gambling.
• Art Schlichter: A former professional American football quarterback, Schlichter is perhaps more famous for his gambling addiction. His compulsive gambling led to his arrest and imprisonment on multiple occasions.
• John Daly: A professional golfer, Daly admitted to having a severe gambling problem. In his 2006 autobiography, he confessed to losing between $50 million and $60 million over 15 years due to his addiction.

Safe to say, if you notice your close friends or family suffering from gambling addiction, it's your duty to step in and help them find a better way through life. No matter how successful a person may be, gambling addiction will eventually bring them down, since the odds are stacked in favor of the house.

This is why at Chipstars, we take these matters seriously and provide various tools for players to self-exclude or limit their gambling activities with us, should they wish. Gambling is fundamentally an entertainment activity and should be fun, never exhausting or stressful.

Stay safe, frens!

It is also an indication of greediness, as you want to get back all the losses. It is not that one indication that you are addicted to gambling; when you keep playing, like on a daily basis, and can't stop the urge to bet, that is also a sign of gambling. Even if you keep winning or just getting draws, if you still keep playing, that is a sign that you won't stop any time soon.

Im not sure if it will be indicating the greediness of people. It's a common thing if people just wanna get back what they have lost if they have lost a lot. It's not undeniable if some people can't accept the loss.
People just need to take care of themselves before they will try to bet use their money. They must be carefully deciding how much money that must be wagered.
I hope people will be understand about that. People can take it easy.

[batang_bitcoin]

We're living on this world and its era where nobody gives an F to nobody. That's why people do gamble no matter what situation he's in, a gambler will be one. There is a bad result on this one that whether we're a gambler, we'd still remain a gambler and if we've got nothing to gamble anymore, that's where crimes will enter. It's sad that people resort with that option because they've been addicted and that's the reason who's engaged in gambling to protect yourself by having your self control and also by providing yourself. If you can't gamble with any of your money then at least also please don't gamble with others money.

I believe that the issue with addiction is that,  it works inline with our instinct and base on individual frame of mind,  gambling should indeed be done with your own money and also with an amount one can afford to part away with,  this is because,  sometime the outcome of gambling may not be favorable and at that one need to have that self control and limits so that you ain't losing more than you can afford.

So if a gambler already has this frame of mind,  it then means that the next thing is to cave out the amount that will be in proportion to what you intend to spend on a bet, 

That's one thing, if there's already that thought built on our minds, we don't care who's gonna care to us but one important matter is we're gambling no matter what.

also avoid borrowing to bet and crime should be avoided.

This is a terrible thing when a gambler does this so that he/she can gamble. Let's take the reality that many does this and many of those didn't result well. They think that they can win somebody's money and will just have to casually return it and take the profit out of it and boom, they're out of the debt that they've taken and easily got money from gambling. Nope, that's not the easiest solution and many have been f'ed up with it.

I hope people will be understand about that. People can take it easy.

But many gamblers can't think of such thing before they gamble for believing they can make their money grow. This is also the reason why gamblers are keep on playing, the thought of winning instantly is stuck on their head. Then will only realize the mistake after experiencing consistent losses and much worst if the money is what they can't live without.

Anyway, if you're a gambler, it doesn't mean you have no future or your life is wasted. Because it depends how you deal with it and how you treat gambling to not have a bad impact in your life. There are gamblers who are successful on their chosen career while playing because gambling is just their way to entertain themselves. Thus it depends.

I think that in a way it is, after all people know very well what they are getting into when they gamble and they should know that over the long term they are going to lose money, so the fact they want to recover the money they have already lost reveals the inner thoughts of someone incapable to accept the consequences of their actions.

And it seems to me the main reason for this is their greed, as they simply refuse to accept that suffering some losses are part of the game.

We have our own decisions to make, we either gamble or make room for other activities that will bring the money coming in. Many people gamble because they hoping to make additional funds for themselves. First, we must develop the mind and focus on winning without becoming too desperate; otherwise, it will consume and control our minds. Gambling is not primarily for those who are serious and have made the critical decision that will make things better for them. Although I cannot guarantee that it will be trustworthy, it is hazardous, and we will buckle up our losses and smile when profits are achieved.

I don't think that many gamblers take their passion for gambling as a way to make money for a living.  Most of the players are still well aware that the casino always wins in the long run and understand that this is not how to earn money for a living.  But the passion to gamble still remains in the player’s brain, and the most correct option is to play for not very big money and treat the lost money simply as another payment for the emotions and experiences received during the game. 

Of course, I'm not talking about super professionals in the game, for example, poker.  Such people, of course, can earn a living.  But such people in the world are one in a million.  This is a rare case.  And among such people, too, there are crashes and losses of entire fortunes.

If people kept losing consistently they would be stopping gambling in a very fast way.The reason they all continue to play is that sometimes they win a huge multiplier like x2000-x3000 in slot machines as the most played game of all casinos in these last couple of years and then they say to themselves,what if I could hit that max prize of this slot machine that is like x100.000 for example.It is exactly this that keeps them coming back in the hope of getting that prize and while doing so many people lose a lot of money until they release that this is not good for their finances or their mental health.Everyone learns in his own way but that is the primary reason why most people still gamble,to hit a super huge win.

People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

At this time, parents really need to give an explanation to their children about what really makes them become outcasts if they continue to gamble because long-term effects are bad things that will definitely happen to them when their personalities change into people who are just crazy about gambling. 

i, as an older brother who has several younger siblings, keep saying that gambling is actually not bad as long as we can control ourselves when gambling, what's worse is that we get swept up in gambling and forget about our social life and are even willing to spend money and precious time just for can continue to gamble.

It should really be explained to them properly what gambling causes when addicted to it. We know it's not good for minors, even if children see that their parents are gambling, for me it's still not good to be a habit in front of them.

Now, as the eldest among the siblings, it is not easy to remind the siblings about something like this, as long as it is possible, your siblings will not see it as a good thing to do. As much as possible they should not try to do it of course.

[ethereumhunter]

I think that in a way it is, after all people know very well what they are getting into when they gamble and they should know that over the long term they are going to lose money, so the fact they want to recover the money they have already lost reveals the inner thoughts of someone incapable to accept the consequences of their actions.

And it seems to me the main reason for this is their greed, as they simply refuse to accept that suffering some losses are part of the game.

In fact, they just want to get big wins at gambling, so that keeps them returning to gambling. They already know the risks of losing money at the gambling table but that doesn't stop them from trying to win big wins. And if they could think about how much money they would lose, they would definitely rethink gambling and maybe gamble less.

But even if they manage to get a big win, they probably won't stop and will try to gamble again another day to get another big win. Gambling can indeed make people tempted to play gambling without stopping and people should be aware of this and only play gambling in moderation.

[wiss19]

We gamble to make money that is why we put money in it to make more money. There are persons that can not even do without gambling a day so that kind of person can not even dream of staying off gambling for something else. Even when we keep losing, we can still have the mindset of winning the next bet which does not always happen like that. Those that know what they are doing will want to be observant to know when it is becoming too much for them so they can reduce there gambling activities at all cost.
To make more now can be very competitive but gambling as given us a leverage to make fast winning without any credentials or skills.

After losing a gamble, it is the act of a panic gambler to reinvest the winnings in order to recover their losses at a later date.  And by doing this, when again he loses in gambling, the person becomes more panicky and invests higher amount of money there and places higher amount of single bet to recover all the losses together and even there if he loses he can control himself more.  No and high quality panic.  Thus the person does not give up gambling and becomes highly addicted to gambling and eventually loses everything.  So one should never panic in gambling.  And a limitation for gambling should be adhered to.  This is the best strategy

It's not easy to control yourself when you are gambling but it's probably the best way to prevent yourself from losing a lot of money. People become sad, angry, frustrated, and afraid when they start losing constantly, and due to the mixture of emotions, they don't understand what they should do and it makes them take hasty decisions so they start betting with higher amounts so that if they get a win, they can recover what has been lost.

What happens is they don't get a win, and their thought of recovering everything at once actually snatches away the remaining money from their hands as well, and the only emotion that remains after all that happens is regret, but nothing can be done then, so it's important to just have patience and control.

[tjtonmoy]

Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

Gambling is for fun. It's not a way of living or someone's primary income source. If you understand this, then the whole concept of this will become clear to you. Gambling does not require special knowledge or skills. It's sometimes simple games or something else which depends on your luck. It's always a 50/50 chance no matter how you look at it. despite what it is, people get the thrill of taking risks and potentially winning something that is like a dream. It is a kind of entertainment if you take it as a fun activity. The rush in blood and brain attracts people. Also if we look at it in psychological terms, the dopamine release in your brain gives you satisfaction which can be achieved by gambling. There is more than one reason why people still gamble. So people will still continue to gamble despite all the allegations. It is not a mystery, it is all in human minds.

People gamble because it has entered their blood so they can stay without gambling. The same time, there are some houses that gamblers use gambling to food the family and live comfortably. It is not all the parents hate gambling. One thing I know is that the way the gambler behave in the family and society also contribute to his distain in the family and the society at large. If he is a gentle gambler with problem with anyone then he has nothing to worry.

I think these types of people are at high risk of risking their lives in my opinion. Imagine someone uses gambling to feed their family, and you said not only one person but people are using gambling to feed their family. That means not only food when we talk about these kinds of things, but everything the family needs they use gambling as a source of income to meet their needs. However, I think this is a bad habit. If you are sure that they are people doing this seriously, it's bad in my opinion. However, you see, these things are predictions, and I believe using gambling to feed their family is a way of being addicted to gamble.

However, I believe that those who engage in this type of activity should sit down and consider alternative sources of income because gambling does not always bring in money like other side jobs do. In my opinion, you lose money more often than you make it, so I fear for those who engage in this types of practice that there will come a time when they cannot win their tickets and may need to conceal something very significant. I also wonder how they will handle some of their situations if they use these only gambling to feed their people at home.
