What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction?

[Westinhome]

This one is already addicted to gambling and it shows that he will do whatever it takes just for him to gamble. I don't know why some people still think that they are supposed to make the money that will take care of them for life through gambling. Gamble when you can but taking a lone to gamble is not advisable.

The gambler who get addicted to the gambling will never come to know about their own addiction,because their ultimate aim of the gambling site will be start to recover the money from the gambling site.But the gamblers can’t recover the funds,if they doesn’t create the good strategy for the game.Most of the gamblers will play the few games,because they try to master of that game or they have wish in few games alone.Learning the game basics was the important one to the gambler who wanted to make money using the gambling site.The gambler who wants to make money by playing the gambling game should ready to risk the money and also to build their game for the future gain in the game.

Each person is different but when it comes to perception about gambling then it would be mostly be pertaining about doing or making money and this what thrives them to play and continue despite
of the losses they made but we do now that there are indeed people who do play just for the sake of fun and entertainment. It would really be just that depending into a certain person
on how they would really be making out those reactions basing up on the condition that they are really that experiencing. Some couldnt really just that able to bare up with the risks
and there are some who could really be able to handle it out and really that get contented on what they are really that dealing with.

When it comes to addiction and fun then it would vary or would really be reflecting out into someones personal situation on which there are ones
who are really that just fine and there are ones who wreck up themselves.

When gamblers want to make money from gambling, they will still return to gambling even though they have lost a lot because they think there is still a chance to win the game. They will not see that gambling is just entertainment but a way to make money, so they will continue to return to gambling even though they will experience losses again. If people think that they have made a mistake by continuing to gamble, they should start changing the way they view gambling and not use gambling as a way to make money. They also don't need to gamble too often because that could pose a greater risk where they will use the money to gamble even though there is no guarantee that they will win.

But if they have reached the stage of addiction, they will not be able to see any changes happening to them. They want to gamble and no longer chase wins or recover their losses but have changed to just wanting to gamble. Winning or losing will not stop them from continuing to gamble because they like it and prioritize it.

The apetite to play is more their concern and nothing else inside their minds, gambling addicted person just wanted to play without any target, their desire to see them having a winning streaks or trying to recover whatever they already lose is no longer a factor, addicted gambler will play and play till they already emptied their bankroll.

And they will just keep repeating things over and over till they lose all their resources and still will try to keep on playing, they will do unexpected things to get the money to please their gambling participation.

I think so too, someone who is addicted to gambling will certainly not admit that he is addicted to gambling, but by looking at his behavior towards excessive gambling it indicates that he is addicted to gambling. it's true that you say that maybe many gamblers are gambling because of such goals, but in my own opinion it will not happen, maybe it can happen but it is almost impossible, with them chasing victory or wanting to get money back in gambling it will only drain their own money.

You are right, they must be prepared with the money they bet, they must be able to accept the fact that the money they bet can be lost in a moment of time, and with them already addicted to gambling in my opinion it is not a good thing, because with them addicted to gambling of course it will make them continue to gamble, and if they take actions like borrowing I think they have gone too far, because in my opinion it is the same path to destruction of life. so I conclude that if they have done excessive gambling, it means that they are addicted to gambling in other words gambling addiction.

Thinking you can recover all you have lost to the gambling site just like that is another way of tricking yourself into incurring some more loss because you may end up not winning back that which you have lost rather you will loose that which you are staking to recover that which you lost which will na become even more losses for you.

Sometimes you may be lucky to win back your lost funds but then discipline to leave after recovery may be lacking and that's the point where you may now end up with more losses than you would have had if you had stoped and moved on with that which you have won. Building games to be able to have a winning advantage is a very good strategy to winning but the problem lays within staying disciplined to keeping to such rule because some may really find it difficult to stick to such rules especially when they eventually grow the money to a certain amount, they will no longer have the patience and discipline they may now start gambling recklessly.

in my opinion it is a gambling addiction, why do I say that, because you said it has been going on for 2 years, that is not a short time, but imagine if you stop that activity, you will feel that there is something you are not doing enough, it cannot be denied or It is denied that he has accidentally become a gambling addict

I am afraid you are right.I also feel a bit addicted myself as I have been playing from not just 2 years but many years and I don't think I would feel the same if I spend days without gambling I will not feel the same,I start my sessions with the intention of having fun but I believe is more a form of addiction rather than desire of having fun.

Well, don't stop you're just one game away from generational wealth.  It feels like that line comes from someone who owns a casino itself.

Over time it has become a habit already to bet whenever there is something to bet, it could be an addiction but yup I know what I'm doing I still feel like I can stop it anytime as I did when recently I got a new Netflix account. A new distraction from gambling seems like a good start if an addict wants to quit.

The gambler who win the money repeatedly is not the gambling addicted person.If the gambler use to play the game again and again after the loss of funds in the continuous way because of the gambling addiction.The gambler who try to target the loss in the gambling site to the future games will loss their funds all the time.Because he will make their emotions to play their betting in the gambling site.The gamblers who use their money in the gambling site was mostly like the risking of their money,but the loss alone help you to understand.You had won the money by using the same gambling game.But the gamblers who develop their skill to win also able to make huge money.

Not only an addiction but also a bit of coercion. They have a group where friends encourage each other to keep gambling and take loans if they need that to continue? That's just toxic!
These guys are nuts. It's like addicts convincing other addicts that what they're doing is fine, just like when criminals go for a beer after a "job" well done and say "did you see how this guy was begging me not to beat him up? That was funny!
So, my advice to you OP, stop being friends with these guys. They're beyond help, but maybe it's not too late for you, since you came here to ask about it, so it seems like you see there's something wrong with the way they act.

[robelneo]

Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?

Whoever created and promoted this encouraged irresponsible gambling It is fun if those involved are friends and the atmosphere is fun and enjoying the conversation, but it's different when there's seriousness in the chat group, fun or not this is not to be taken seriously, we all have to stop gambling at some point and it should be based on your decision alone.
Stopping gambling or continuing should be based on one's decision and not because of the urge of your group or someone who has the authority to tell you to do so, we should decide for ourselves because it's our money and our enjoyment that matters.

That is my take on this situation as well, gambling with our friends is a very common thing to do, and whether this is done by playing poker or making a few sport bets among the group of friends, no one would say there is something wrong with this, but encouraging your friends to keep betting, taking loans and even assure them they cannot lose, when we can prove this is mathematically false, is a huge problem, and if I knew those people I would stay away from them.

So in weekends in my departmental WhatsApp group, we just randomly talk about soccer bets and sometimes drop a particular game and keep it open for correct score prediction to be made on it, and the first person with the correct score goes home with a data subscription, this has been going on for almost two years now and people have gotten used to it without knowing it.

This is one of the chat I just bumped into by one of us in the group chat and at this point I feel most of my friend have made it compulsory to always gamble every weekend.



Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?

Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams,  they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.

I think it's pretty much BS. Gambling is nowhere near to give you generational wealth, unless you are a casino owner. It sure is not impossible, but it will take a really long while before you can be successful as a gambler. Mostly, it will not really come from being a full time gambler yourself, but having other means to have income such as being a live streamer or content creator about gambling, being an affiliate or ambassador, and having referral links and codes to generate more profit. But if you will just solely rely on gambling, you need to have strong mental health for it and lots of funds. Additionally, you must have a strong sense of discipline and responsibility so that you won't get lost in the process of achieving your goal to have more money.

[KiaKia]

Generational wealth from gambling is like walking on air, we all know how impossible this is unless one is a great magician, still possible but only few magicians can pull this trick, how many gamblers have turned wealthy in gambling? Maybe 10 out of millions.

Are you going to bet all your life and precious time on something that brings this thinly chances of luck to human? You may not the next number eleven because the chances are too slim, this is the true meaning of gambling.

What OP shared is a very bad advice and I hope it doesn't get into the mind of any newbie on here, telling people to take a loan is even the worst, you literally can not lose it says, LMAO, that's crazy.

And they will just keep repeating things over and over till they lose all their resources and still will try to keep on playing, they will do unexpected things to get the money to please their gambling participation.

People who are addicted to gambling want to continue gambling without thinking about the results because they would be very happy if they could gamble all day long. But the risk is that they must have a lot of money to gamble for a long time. But it will never be recommended because it will only make them deeper into gambling without being able to stop their gambling activities easily. They probably won't listen to advice from other people who tell them to rest first before continuing to gamble.

Yes, they won't stop until they lose all their money, and it seems like they have no regrets about losing all their money. Maybe they still have money to use for gambling, so they will deposit a larger amount to fill their appetite for gambling. I don't know what will happen to those who cannot control themselves when gambling, but they will become addicted to gambling.

In my opinion, recovering losses is the same as spending a lot of money, that's the big possibility. because in my opinion we shouldn't do that, because it's clear that the bigger losses will dominate. and indeed there are people who borrow money to gamble again with the aim of recovering losses, very unfortunate. Their will only directs them to actions that will cause greater harm, after all, taking out a loan to gamble is not right, because it will not possibly be as smooth as imagined.

Yes, that's true, even though it can happen, the temptation to gamble is strong, so that when they have won something that shouldn't happen, such as risking it again to get an even bigger win, because they want to get more, which leads them to the point of big losses You are right, most gamblers don't have good discipline,  causing bad luck for themselves. In fact, if they have good self-control and good discipline, it seems like bad things can be avoided or won't happen, but in reality everything turns around.

About taking a loan for gambling, that is actually the worst advise anybody can give to his or her fellow human being.

But then, talking about generation wealth from gambling, based on what you said, I did say that possibility of something happening being very slim is very different from impossibility, that is, as long as something as a chance of happening, no matter how little that chance is, it if wrong to refer to such thing as impossible to happen.

If we were to start doing research on this, we did discover that far more than 10 persons out of a million around the world have somehow won an amount that we can consider to be a generational wealth, most especially in the area of lottery, but like you said, chances are always slim, and I doubt those who won it even know or knew they were going to win it.

[SeaCoinCollector.]

WhatsApp group chats seem more like friendship than addiction. Members can chat, debate soccer, and make predictions. It appears fun and doesn't involve gambling because the incentives are data subscriptions.

Bettors must be mindful of their tendencies and treat gambling as a hobby. Responsible participation, enjoyment, and no harmful effects make it a safe and fun social activity.

I don't know why some people still think that they are supposed to make the money that will take care of them for life through gambling. Gamble when you can but taking a lone to gamble is not advisable.

Nothing will stop gambling addicts, and if they are doing it for fun, they will enjoy it for that reason as well. However, if they are looking to gamble as a means of making money, watching sports is not a good alternative. Once you have the mindset that you can make money from gambling, you will never make any money and will always lose money because that is the only way you can gamble. People also don't even know how to choose games; all they know how to do is pick them at random. and you can not live through gambling you can just enjoy for a while.

The gambler who get addicted to the gambling will never come to know about their own addiction,because their ultimate aim of the gambling site will be start to recover the money from the gambling site.But the gamblers can’t recover the funds,if they doesn’t create the good strategy for the game.Most of the gamblers will play the few games,because they try to master of that game or they have wish in few games alone.Learning the game basics was the important one to the gambler who wanted to make money using the gambling site.The gambler who wants to make money by playing the gambling game should ready to risk the money and also to build their game for the future gain in the game.

Addicted people don't admit that they are always addicted and will tell you that they are just trying to survive not knowing that the amount they have decided to spent on gambling is enough for them to set up a business. but no they always want it the easy way. and life is more to been easy the best thing is to gamble responsibly. and if your money is gone while you gambling it is gone. playing very few games is smart and if you games are to much then it will even be more difficult to win. but they will always want to select much games to get bigger odd. they don't even care about strategy of anything they have concern for is there money.

Basically this is true and also this should never be the mindset of any gambler, is similar to this fact that there are some gamblers who has lost their money in gambling and made the goal of getting more or the exact money they lost from that casino and they actually do get it while alot have become miserable because of this mindset.

My take is that all these mindset of taking loan for gambling, wanting to get back the money lost in gambling, thinking of becoming rich, depending on gambling as source of income or regretting not staking more after you win should be avoided, never allow this cloud your mind or be your main goal. Gambling should be done for fun if you win good, if you lose no worries just learn better from the experience.
