Experience for new and old gambler?

[Stepstowealth]

Do you think it is the same experience for a gambler who has practically experienced and been involved in gambling evolution since gambling was on the street side with personal belongings or money, to spaces and buildings for gambling with money, to gambling with money online, and now to gambling with cryptocurrency online with a gambler who has experienced a few or just one of the forms of gambling? whose addiction will be harder to break?

Big changes had taken place. When the gambling happens on the street people used to bet all their belongings when they go out of cash. With the existence of online platforms this has been controlled and people never intend to bet with their belongings. I don't know about the truth behind the street gambling, but I've seen on movies that people betting themselves at some situation and move as slaves. Lot have changed between the old/new gamblers and gambling methods.

I would say there's not much of a difference when it comes to overall gameplay. On the other hand, a few of them should offer a different experience because it's feasible. For example, physical casinos could reward you differently (food, drinks, etc.), while in online casinos, the rewards you get are always money.

In gambling addiction, online gambling is probably the hardest to stop because it's too easy to get in and go back whenever you like. Also, it only takes a few minutes to browse an online casino and create a gambling account.

I think it's basically the same.

Think about alcohol for example, drinking it from a bottle on the streets or in a fancy bar, it's the same chemical that gets you hooked in the brain.

Also, there's a social aspect to it as well. If you change your behavior and add other kinds of activities that make you feel good, your brain will rewire itself and you'll be able to escape addiction.

But if there's nothing else fun in your life, then you will probably go back to your addiction.

Depends. I think it's easier to break with gambling addiction for old-school gamblers because there are so many things to do that will keep us busy. Today, we can work at home, get a helper, laundries are easier, cooking is way faster, we can also just get a food delivery to avoid cooking, and more equipment that makes life easier so we have lots of time to gamble. So, I think the era today where we use online gambling is more prone to addiction than it was before. A husband doesn't even need to make it a secret anymore because he can do it at home, no more sneaking out at night just to gamble, all he needs is a computer/phone and internet access, and voila, he can play.
Also, because of the wide range of games today like slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, etc.... getting bored in gambling is non-existent as long as you have money.

Thats for a bachelor who has no responsibilities and just sleep and work.
But that seem to be an excuse to gamble when there are lots of responsibilities especially for a family man.

If one gets addicted already either he is a single or have a family, its gonna be hard whichever he is. So before that ever happens, someone has to intervene like the father or the son. It would be awful for him.

whose addiction will be harder to break?

That of the lifelong, obviously.

I think it's basically the same.

Think about alcohol for example, drinking it from a bottle on the streets or in a fancy bar, it's the same chemical that gets you hooked in the brain.

But in gambling there is no external chemical substance that causes a physical addiction, with a withdrawal syndrome that can lead to death. In gambling addiction is all psychological and it is much more difficult to break a problematic habit of many years than one of a couple of months. In addition, those who have been addicted for years on average will be older than those who have been addicted for a couple of months and will have less brain plasticity.

Each gambler's experience is different, whether he has been gambling since before there were online casinos until now, there are online casinos. What differentiates these gamblers is their gambling experience. Previously, they gambled face to face and met many people. Now, they can gamble using their devices online.

If we talk about addiction, I think each gambler finds it difficult to eliminate his addiction. But it will come back to each gambler again because this has something to do with the intentions and efforts of each gambler to recover from their addiction. If one gambler has a stronger intention and effort to cure his addiction than other gamblers, he can cure his gambling addiction.

But whatever it is, if someone is addicted to gambling, he cannot cure his addiction young. He had to fight hard to cure it and live his days going through every process of healing his gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction is the most difficult. A person who is addicted to gambling must be always greedy. Especially between online gambling and offline gambling, it is natural and easy to get rid of online gambling addiction. Because by depositing only some money you can participate in gambling and once the balance is exhausted you have to deposit again. In such a situation, when the balance comes to the end, the gambler must take a break for a while.

Especially I am telling true facts from the gambling scene to reality in offline gambling. Even though the gambler faces a loss, he takes a loan from the gambling club and resumes the game. And in spite of the debt, I have seen him gambling away his possessions, houses, lands, and other possessions. And due to the excessive greed of the gambler, he faced losses and remained in hiding, but the gambling addiction did not stop. So I think real gambling must be hard to stop.

I don’t think being an experienced/old player has anything to do with addiction. Both of these people (old/experienced and young/inexperienced) can become very addicted to gambling. Age and experience do not matter. I’ve seen adults and college kids that were equally addicted. I had friends who made bets every day. When people reach that level it becomes almost impossible to save them from the addiction. That’s the problem with being an addict. Unless the addict himself wants to be saved, nobody can save him until they lock him up in a cell. When the addict makes up his mind and accepts the treatment, everything becomes much easier suddenly.

The experiences will be different. Absolutely different. The old time gambler would find it difficult to adapt to the new tech particularly if he is not opened to new experiences and wants to be stuck in his old ways. And the thing about this is that the old way of gambling hasn't been flushed away by the new tech enabled gambling. People still gamble by the street corner and in all sorts of alleys.

The addiction that would be harder to break is the new type of tech-enabled-crypto gambling. The casino is literally inside your pockets and you take it every where you go. And anytime you check your phone or even visit the casino website, you reinforce the addiction and make it stronger. The difference I see between the new type of tech-enabled-crypto gambling is that there is no delayed gratification as compared to the old form where you must leave your apartment building to go gamble.

It all depends on each individual person's circumstances, because all of us are different. The one person might live within walking distance from his local "brick n mortar" casino and he or she might pass it every day. (The temptation might be more, if the casino are easily accessible)

On the other hand, most people are walking around with their phone and most online casinos are accessible via their mobile phone, so every time they look at their phone, they might be tempted to gamble.

It's not change too much about the games, but what you can't enjoy in online casino is meet and have a conversation with someone which is hard in the current developed technology. But the good thing is online gambling is not wasting time unlike physical casino where you need to wear good clothes, driving, and buy something that more pricey etc.

In terms of addiction, online gambling is harder because you can easily access it within a second through your cell phone.

Lot have changed between the old/new gamblers and gambling methods.

Despite the fact that modern day gambling is mostly based online which means that there's no way someone will stake bets with their belonging, I don't think it has controlled the use of personal belongings to stake bets by some individuals who are involved in gambling. I have in different occasions seen gambling addicts who has sold all their belongings, used the money made from the sales to gamble online and still lose all their money.
The new gambling methods have changed from the old methods but the effect of gambling on people who doesn't gamble responsibly hasn't changed.

That is easy to understand,the hardest addiction to break is the one who can be easily fulfilled and therefore the easiest one is the online gambling with cryptocurrencies together with online FIAT gambling.For me is mostly the crypto one though as they have some form of pseudo anonymity to it.It is much easier to fire up a browser and go to your favorite casino and gamble from the comfort of your couch or sofa in full quietness of your home rather than taking your car to go to physical casinos nowadays and as such that is why this is the hardest addiction to break.

Have a little difference since you just need to familiarized the game and in short period of time you can easily learn how the game played also you can develop your own strategy based on how you play the game. Unlike to those new gamblers which doesn't have experience on everything then it may take sometime for them to understand how the game works and most of them quit because they maybe think that gambling is to hard for them to understand. On addiction cases well both have the same chances but its still up for each person on how they can deal with their addiction and get out on worse condition they are facing.

This is a brief but exciting history of how gambling has changed over time due to innovation brought by science and technology. But gaming remains the same, it still involves the risk of losing or winning money or anything of value. Be it roadside, online, or crypto gambling,  you have to bet something hoping to win something better.  The difference is that gambling has become more convenient and private. Instead of moving out from your home or office to gamble,  you can just do it anytime and anywhere. Privacy has also been improved because you can successfully hide your gambling life from relatives or the public.

But one of the challenges of this change is that it has also increased scams and fake casinos. Since most of them don't have physical offices, they can easily claim to be real and steal people's funds and victims will not have any means of seeking refunds. But those days when casinos or bet firms have a physical presence, one can easily report government authorities.

Gambling on the streets is a little different from online gambling as the target sometimes varies.  There is a popular gambling style in my country where the target is to win items, food, drinks, jewellery and others, the emotion, vibration and even motivation for this is a little different from someone who is playing online to amass wealth.

Furthermore, the chances of forming bad gambling habits is higher for people who gamble with their properties because they practically have little risk management skills and most times looses their properties for small money.

Finally, I feel online gambling is better organised and makes it possible for someone to apply skill and talents unlike the street where luck play a bigger role than skill.

[bitbollo]

probably an old gambler has more experience to understand what he is doing and what are the risk linked to bets.
meanwhile a "new" gambler could have some bias and made mistakes or underestimate betting risks.

by the way, an addiction is something similar for a player even if he is "new" or "old" gambler... it's always an addiction!

No I think it's a complete different experience, visiting physical casinos has a very different atmosphere then when gambling at home alone. In most cases people visit physical casinos in a group and enjoy some good and drinks together. It's not everything about gambling, whereas in an online casino we are on our own and it's all about playing the casino games. Which is also why I think that gambling addictions would be different for people playing in the two types of casinos. It's much easier for someone to stay away from physical casinos than it is to stop gambling at online casinos. Anyone that is used to gamble online and becomes addicted will have problems to use the internet and not visit casinos. It only takes one click to be back at the casino and start playing again, while the other person might need to drive 1 hour to visit their favorite casino. Nonetheless both types of addictions are terrible and hard to overcome.
