What's The Weirdest Alibi Of Gamblers So They Can Continue Gambling?

[STT]

Gambling is maths, its educational.   I think thats a great excuse and easily arguable, I'd stick to my guns on gambling being relatable to maths and completely harmless if done in a controlled manner.   Gamble with a budget, do the maths as homework before partaking in a bet and its a perfectly reasoned past time to enjoy whenever you feel like.  Like any activity, dont over do it or it can become harmful but life is full of challenges like this.

"My time will come".
Even if some players are still suffering from loss try asking them of why they are still playing and this line could be taken from and use from that conversation. Gambling is a game of bettors; bettors are people who are testing their lucks in order to win and generate profit. However, given that winning won't always come to your end, you'd most of the time grab ths idea of gaslighting and sometimes lying that you are in profit. It'll boil down to our ego as gamblers just to continue what we are doing. Many people would want to stop us due to stories that they witnessed and that is because they are concerned to us; one of our goals is to not let them see our weak sides to avoid being questioned in such way.

Gamblers can be weirdly superstitious sometimes and believe that there are certain rituals or behaviors which can lead them to winning. For the most part these are relatively harmless. If you are losing badly and looking for some sort of sign that your luck is about to change then you might have a problem and need to stop. I am sure there are gamblers who are religious and they say that they'll go to church every Sunday and donate money to charity if they can hit a big win. Prayer isn't going to help you win, but out of desperation people will act irrationally.

Well in the first place there's no ither logic than chances behind gambling. Given that no matter how good you think you are as a bettor, it will always be your luck to determine whether you win or the other way around. No strategy will be consistenty working and that is simply why gamblers are just hitting up some superstitions, as sign of frustrations on winning.

we have seen and read a lot of superstitious beliefs of gamblers in this forum alone. some are quite hilarious so to speak but hey, a lot of them are practicing every time they bet. we can't blame them because they have their own beliefs and they have strong feelings for it. so long they are not making a mess out of it, everyone is free to follow what they believed in.

if gambling is math, then most gamblers should be on the bed of roses by now. but it is not. there are so many mathematicians and yet, they couldn't figure it out. so people who are determined to say that this is all about math are just hypocrite about themselves.

"My time will come".

I don't have my entry but i like this one. This suit for those who bet in mega lottery who could think to be an instant millionaire. But as much possible i avoid dreaming of it or having hallucinations of "what if i win". It's to avoid getting too attached into it, it's where addition begins. Just like any other things like playing games, if you're dreaming of it that means you take a lot of time talking and thinking about it.

Math 😅.. When I studied it at school. Gambling is an opportunity if you connect it with mathematics... The chances of getting a jackpot are really small. However, from the many mathematical possibilities, if we get this possibility then we will get a big win. And this also requires a large amount of capital 😅 to cover the losses we will experience before getting the chance to win big

"Gambling helps me find love" probably has some truth if you are always looking for gambling because you always want to gamble. Are you the type who can't be bothered not to play gambling for a day?

And this feeling in the gambler is a strong addiction that is forming in his personality. In short, it's bad; it's not good to see the behavior of a gambler. And it's following this as if he can't live without gambling in their lives, it seems like that.

one day I was talking with two close friends discussing gambling and I said why are we sometimes too stupid even though we always lose but we still gamble and one of my friends said "luck only comes to those who want to keep trying" 

Immediately I fell silent and thought whether those words were words of wisdom or just a reason to keep gambling then I thought logically it was true that as long as we were willing to try then luck would definitely come and that made sense and maybe that was the reason we continued keep gambling even if you lose and that's a fact.

That's indeed a weird alibi from your friend. But that's not the weirdest probably. Gambling could indeed be therapeutic as other forms of entertainment are. But that's not a wise idea to gamble if you're going through something.

I think the weirdest alibi for me is when a gambler asks or even borrows money because he needs to buy food or milk for his baby or medicine for his old mother even if the reality is that he only uses the money for gambling.

The last part will be the top tier weirdest alibi that I've ever heard, And we knew that many gamblers has been using that line in order for them to borrow money, they also sometimes use the illness of one of the family members as a reason and the worst is about death. Imagine? That's how a person can turn beyond theirself because of addiction.

Your friend's take on luck is kinda like saying if you keep trying, luck might eventually swing your way. It makes you think like maybe that's why we keep at gambling despite the losses.

I watched a movie where someone kept repeating to bet a perticular set of numbers in lottery for many years until he eventually hit the jackpot and became an overnight millionaire, so i guess some people can have that kind of mindset in real life, believing that if they keep gambling in a perticular patten everytime, that one day luck will arrange it in their favor and they'd have a big win that'll recover all their loses and they'll still have so much more to keep them very rich. If they can have fun while following the pattern and gamble the amount that they can afford to loose, then I can only wish them luck as they continue to gamble and wait for as long as it takes to win.

"I'm just letting the casino collect it so I can get it back x2 or even more" was one of the dumbest but also funniest things I've heard when I was pulling my friend away from his phone while he was gambling so that we can finally start talking about some of our vacation plans. And tbf, I was almost persuaded if it wasn't for the fact that I could see him trying to deposit more money in to play a bit longer. Well I guess the casino is still working as his bank to date since afaik he's still gambling.

In the lottery, "I am close to winning as I saw my two combinations of numbers," and it turns out you'll be betting more and losing more. Another one is that "today is my lucky day, for sure I will win big," which leads to betting big and turns out to be losing all money and even debt. Those people who are giving you an alibi to gamble are a sign of addiction, so they should immediately seek professional help as they cannot stop themselves.

I remember my friend when I asked him this question, I said " Why do you keep gambling when you don't have a day job?" and his response was a little bit off for me, he said that he have a friend in Hawaii who gives him fund to gamble and then return it with 10% then a day later I learned that he has a lot of loan from our friends. That's when I realized he's addicted to it, and his friend from Hawaii is named Ego and Unresponsible. It is very sad when we know one of our friend gets addicted to gambling, and they started a fake reason just to continue doing it.

in my opinion it is like directing us to continue gambling, by continuing to gamble I don't think it will guarantee that luck will happen, because luck is an expression of beliefs and attitudes to explain the behavior of someone who has control over events that happen by chance, therefore according to I think luck will only happen not to those who try, but to people who really have strong luck, because there are people who win at gambling with just one gamble.

This happened to my friend, I have been gambling for a long time, never getting a big win or jackpot, even though if you call it trying, it seems like I myself have tried my best. but with my friend who didn't know anything and wanted to try gambling, with one gamble he won a big jackpot. and this happened to three of my friends, therefore I don't believe that luck will happen to those who are willing to try.

I have came across a friend who believe that and I think I was the one who raised the topic, and this get me wondering how can someone believe that gambling every day draws you more closer to winning. It's very more like saying that when you keep gambling you keep losing money and yet you seems not to stop calculating the total amount you have spent so going backwards is like someone who has accepted a defeat so no more going back rather keeps pushing forward.

The saying that "he who fights and run away lives to fight another day" doesn't apply to gamblers or maybe just very a tinny set of gamblers give heed to that statement in their gambling pursuit. Despite making losses they keep fighting when they are supposed to quit and give it a break.

A fellow gambler I met at the betting shop where we both took time to talk once told me that whenever he takes a decision to give it a break there is this inner thought within that whispers to his head asking what if this period you have decided to take a break happens to be the time you have waiting and hoping for to get a big win and straight away without hesitation he will see himself back to gambling but he never gets to make that big win eventually all through, he still continue in making losses as it were before he decided to take a break.

I think if you can be able to take charge of the psychological aspect of gambling we won't be thrilled to succumb into believing in all of this weird alibi's.

"Gambling is relaxing"... Yes, of course, it's relaxing when you win and even when you don't lose too much for many people. But when you get big losses, it's very stressful and depressing, you feel unsuccessful, unlucky and unable to manage your bankroll and your game plan efficiently. It's very hard, but it happens to almost all gamblers since undergoing some long losing streak is unavoidable unfortunately.

[bitbollo]

One of my closest friend insist to bet and wasting a lot of time (even 6/8 hours per day following result and so on... yes it's addiction) and money (likewise 5-10 euro per day, that isn't too much but it become an huge amount if you count at the end).
Shortly he said:
"I changed my bet habits. Actually I am not betting to much, just few euros per day, but I am pretty sure I will win an huge bet"

Yes it sounds quite strange and outrageous, but I think this is not the first time I have heard of it, because as we know that many gamblers end up addicted and maybe you also already know that usually an addicted gambler will do anything that is important he can gamble, so the idea of borrowing money is really a definite thing that is very likely they make as an alternative to getting money to finance their gambling activities and I think this is quite common for gamblers when they run out of money due to defeat or other things.


What is outrageous is yes as you said that they are desperate to lie and make excuses that they need emergency funds to pay for one of their family members who is sick, this is an outrageous way with little intelligence just to get money to gamble.l

The gambler who play gambling everyday will not able to make the sure win by the daily gambling.May be he come across the same gambling technique daily,So by the continuous practice.It help you not to forget the game and the possibility of the winning in the game will be more,but we can’t really guarantee about the winning of the gambling site.The gambler who do the gambling after the loss fly to get away from the gambling site should be avoided one.The gambler who able to get the money for more rotation in the gambling site after the loss the can really able to recover the money loss in the gambling sites.

The weirdest thing that I heard was when my friend told me that when he's not gambling he's missing on the opportunity that is there and waiting for a lucky gambler. He seemed to think that opportunity, luck and wins are something that flies around and you have to be there to catch them, otherwise someone else gets them so the more you play the more of this luck that flies around you claim for yourself.
To me, a person who doesn't believe in these things, it sounds really weird but there are people who agree with him (mostly other gamblers and weird people who believe in ghosts and stuff).
