👉how do you feel when peopel ask you for money to gamble?, do you gamble with debt?  Or would you never indulge in such no matter how sure you are about the game ?
Gambling with loan money is suicide and its never been that good or recommended on doing so. You would be making your life miserable
because losing that loan money will surely lose in the end. So thats a double problem for you.

👉Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplinedenough to know when to stop?
Control is recommended but people would really be only be making such action on the time that they would really be on a tough situation
or on the time that they do get addicted.

👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?
Gamble for fun, If you do have the money then why not? Moderation would be always the key.

I do not gamble with debt and that's what I will never do and the same goes for investing. Investing and gambling with the use of debt is a big no for me.

I might understand if people that own businesses and they're asking for loans for expansion and more inventories as that's needed for them to cope up with demand.

But in gambling it's different, that's why I'll never do that. I'm more comfortable to gamble with my own money so even if I lose, I have no obligation to pay anyone.

Probably for some beginners in gambling, taking debt is a big NO. However, for those who have been gambling in years and have already developed addiction, taking debt is very welcome for them. That’s why a lot of addicted gamblers drown into debt, not because they’re unable to pay, but because they have put in mind that gambling can be a reliable source of income to pay their debts when in reality, it’s not.

I might be addicted into gambling somehow but at the end of the day, I still manage not to cross my betting budget and limit my expenses and losses as well. But taking debt just to gamble, I will never do that. However, when it comes to investment, taking a loan is acceptable as long as you’re able to pay and you have your stable job that will back up you when your investment does not work based on planned.

👉 how do you view women gambling in your area: I've never seen a woman standing in any bet store before gambling, but I've been on many WhatsApp channels that you would see a lot of girls that are present asking for bookies and predictions on sports match to play at home. Do you see them as pretenders or just trying to hide their image?

I also have never seen young girls who engage in gambling physically, but on gambling or betting social groups, like on WhatsApp and telegram, even Facebook, I usually come across profiles of supposedly young beautiful girls who supposedly are into gambling.
I honestly do not feel  anything about this, since I simply assume it's their basic right, there was never a time it was made as a rule that, gambling was only meant for men, women too can gamble as long as they learn to keep to the limit and never risk above what they can comfortably afford to lose.

👉how do you view notorious gamblers: I've been around some bet shop and have seen people watse more than a months salary on virtual or very huge amounts and woudl be sweating out of lose and have no choice but to chase their loses and end up losing even more. Do you view this persons as irresponsible to their family and themselves? Or do you pity them as victims of gambling habit as it can happen to even the most righteous person?

I honestly don't pity gambling addicts, if any thing, they actually amuze me, most gambling addicts become addict not by mistake, but by their very own actions born out of greed, no body is ever forced into gambling, people gamble on their own will and terms.
So, for anyone who gets addicted to it, it's simply the result of their own actions and I honestly don't pity such persons.

👉how do you really feel when you lose money on gambling?  Do you feel bad or just lie to yourself that's it was for fun?

Gambling itself is supposed to always be a fun venture,  but it's rather unfortunate that majority of gamblers have turned gambling into something they do to earn money.
I personally always try my best to stay within my limit, and each time I lose money that I can afford to lose to gambling, I honestly don't feel a thing, because the amount is always so insignificant to me, so, even if I had the intention of winning, but I end up not winning, I simply just move on to the next bet or simply relax for that time being, there is absolutely no need crying over a milk that is already spilled - right?.

👉how do you feel when peopel ask you for money to gamble?, do you gamble with debt?  Or would you never indulge in such no matter how sure you are about the game ?

I don't gamble with dept, and no one has ever asked a loan from me to use for gambling, I won't give that person such a loan, for it is absolutely irresponsible to gamble with money that is borrowed.
I have witnessed a case where a fight broke out in a casino because some one played a bet on credit, he lost the bet and then refused to pay the cashier, the cashier insisting on collecting the money for the bet, a fight broke out between them and from what seemed like a minor thing, two lifes were lost in the process.

Like I said yesterday, I will be answering these questions in twos to avoid cumbersomeness. This is the next two.

👉how do you really feel when you lose money on gambling?  Do you feel bad or just lie to yourself that's it was for fun?

I have read the context of gambling loss and fun many times and my conclusion is that it is all about your disposition about gambling. Indeed, gambling could be done for fun and it could be done for the money, nand if you played games for fun, you will surely not feel it when you lose, but of course, if you gamble for the money, you will feel hurt when you lose the money. Again, those who are gambling for the fun are not using big money for it which is one of the main differences here, and if you are gambling for the fun, ensure you use a ridiculous amount of money for it, and this amount should have been well-budgeted and the mode of spending it must have been well-calculated even before you visit the gambling house or opened the gambling platform.

And if it is for the money, just gamble right and plan your gambling very well with a very managed portfolio so that it will not hurt you. Most people who pretend to gamble for fun could be hurt because the sincerity is not there but you can only pretend to people you, can never pretend to yourself. It will definitely show in the form of pain. That's normal

👉how do you spend your gambling wins: I know a lot of persons that woudl say gambling wins is for enjoyment and would use to to buy cloths or shoes or may go out to have fun. And you also like this? Or do you use you gambling wins for other issues?

To be honest with you, my friend, I do not know how I spent my gambling winnings, I do not even take any inventory of it because I have never taken gambling so seriously to avoid psychological issues. And since I do not depend on it for the money, it makes it easier for me. Still, what I normally do that I can remember now is that I have some treats with gambling money at times instead of using the money in my bank account. This is especially true when I am broke or do not want to touch the money in my bank account due to lack of excess money to spare.

Also, when I lose in my casino accounts or want to fund a newly opened gambling account, I do not use the money in my bank account but the ones in my sports betting account. With these, I think I am doing just fine with the money.

👉 how do you view women gambling in your area:

I don’t feel anything when I see women gambling. I feel it's their life and money and so I don’t care. I don`t segregate between a male and a female gambler and so it becomes normal for me to see a woman gambling.

👉how do you view notorious gamblers:

I am very pissed off when I see someone losing badly and yet refusing to stop. Like why would you put your hands in fire and refuse to remove it even when it is hurting? Such gamblers can easily transfer aggression to another person and so I am very careful with them.

👉how do you really feel when you lose money on gambling? 

I feel bad even though I always gamble with what I can afford to lose. Sometimes, my mood is not because of the amount I lost but because it is a good feeling when you win.

👉how do you spend your gambling wins:

It depends on the amount. However, most times when I win, I pay bills and chill with friends.

👉how do you feel when peopel ask you for money to gamble?, do you gamble with debt?  Or would you never indulge in such no matter how sure you are about the game ?

I don’t give people money to gamble. If you ever mention to me that the reason for asking me for money is to gamble, I will not give. I don’t encourage people to borrow money to gamble.

👉Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplinedenough to know when to stop?

I always set a budget for myself but I must say I don’t stick to the budget all the time.

👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?

Even if I become the world`s richest man, I will still gamble. I gamble for fun and I cannot stop having fun because I am rich.

[ralle14]

👉how do you really feel when you lose money on gambling?  Do you feel bad or just lie to yourself that's it was for fun?

It usually feels bad because we always expect to walk away with a win, but once you have a low enough bankroll it becomes easier to let go of most losses and emphasize the fun side of gambling.

👉how do you spend your gambling wins: I know a lot of persons that woudl say gambling wins is for enjoyment and would use to to buy cloths or shoes or may go out to have fun. And you also like this? Or do you use you gambling wins for other issues?

I sometimes do the same and use my winnings to buy the things I like. I would also spend it to pay my monthly bills or use it for groceries, I wouldn't hesitate to spend it in a way that would save me money on other stuff.

👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?

I'd likely gamble again because the entertainment experience that gambling provides is something i'd always enjoy.

[passwordnow]

👉how do you feel when peopel ask you for money to gamble?

I am ignoring them. I don't even ask money to gamble and if I want to gamble, I'd use my personal money for that.

do you gamble with debt?  

Nope.

Or would you never indulge in such no matter how sure you are about the game ?

Even if I am pretty much sure with my analysis for the games that I am betting, I have no confidence of asking money to gamble. This shouldn't be removed from everyone's personal list.

👉Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplinedenough to know when to stop?

I am disciplined enough to stop so, whether I set a limit or not. What matters to me is I control my emotion and I can do whatever I want and whenever I want to stop.

👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?

Yup, I'd still do that but with moderation as wealth from gambling can easily be gone without discipline. So, being wise with the money that I've won, I'll put that into investments and businesses but I'll still take a little amount from it to gamble.

[Yatsan]

I will just answer categorically, I guess to avoid redundancy. Gambling chooses no gender, age, race or such; if you can afford betting and testing your luck, then you'd be fine. I don't care that much with people around me such as notorious bettors because in the first place that won't be my problem and I prefer minding my own. Winning and losing will be both part of the game and the extent on how you will react on each instances depends on your expectation as a player; if you want to get rich from gambling then either outcome will push you to just continue playing but on my end, I tend to secure a portion of my profit and won't hesitate to rest from this activity if I'm already losing that much. I gamble only a small proportion of my salary and this is why I don't support people who are willing to borrow money for this activity because that's irresponsibility already on their end and I don't want to be a part of it. And if I ever will be rich from gambling, I would personally prefer quitting and using the money in a profitable and more secured investment such as properties.

These questions are a bit mixed but all of it falls under gambling responsibility. Might be cliché to some but at least this could remind those who are being compulsive with their gaambling habits not as a leisure but in some instances, as a career. Nothing's wrong as long as you could handle the consequences of losing.

[ajiz138]

👉 how do you view women gambling in your area:

Not a problem ... it's their right to want to play gambling or not because in gambling there are no certain gender restrictions, all are free as long as they know the risks they will face.

👉how do you really feel when you lose money on gambling?  Do you feel bad or just lie to yourself that's it was for fun?

When losing in gambling I must be honest emotions must exist but you must understand that gambling must make it fun, whether you lose or win, make it fun, not looking for money there.

👉how do you spend your gambling wins: I know a lot of persons that woudl say gambling wins is for enjoyment and would use to to buy cloths or shoes or may go out to have fun. And you also like this? Or do you use you gambling wins for other issues?

After the victory will not spend directly I prefer to enjoy it first and then leave a little to play again, if from the winnings continue to play then there is no fun in gambling games.

Poor participation in my locality because women are not that much interested in gambling like the way men do appear, some young women do go to the gambling house together with their boyfriends and not going there because they wanted to gamble themself, so i can conclude this by saving that it is very rare for you to see women involving in gambling from where i live except on rare occasions.

how do you view notorious gamblers: I've been around some bet shop and have seen people watse more than a months salary on virtual or very huge amounts and woudl be sweating out of lose and have no choice but to chase their loses and end up losing even more. Do you view this persons as irresponsible to their family and themselves? Or do you pity them as victims of gambling habit as it can happen to even the most righteous person?

Unless you witness seeing someone behaving like one you may not actually know whether they are notorious or not, some may also not be as you have thought expects we see them in practical, i will advise the word addiction to be used instead of notorious in this context to be able to carry what you mean or portray from the content on discussion.

👉how do you really feel when you lose money on gambling?  Do you feel bad or just lie to yourself that's it was for fun?

No one is happy, when they encounter losses. Though we all gamble for fun sake and a bit of the cash which comes along side the fun, no one is really going to be happy that they lost any game.
some people don't gamble for fun just like most people do and this often lead to addiction which is the problem most gamlers encounter in the gambling journey. As a gambler, no matter how fun your gambling activities are, you do feel it most time when you loss.
No one lies to himself that those losses doesn't really affect them. One has to be less emotional to be able to control himself during losses. Avoiding thinking too much about it.

[borovichok]

I am disciplined enough to stop so, whether I set a limit or not. What matters to me is I control my emotion and I can do whatever I want and whenever I want to stop.

Knowing when to stop gambling as a gambler is crucial. It will save a gambler a lot. Some gamblers don’t know when to stop gambling. Even when they are winning they keep gambling with the hope of winning more and also, when they lose they continue to gamble to recoup their loss. This is a very bad way of gambling. In my submission, any gambler who knows when to stop can never be addicted or have a gambling-related problem such a gambler can easily overcome so many problems simply by stopping when it is necessary.

But then, I have a concern with you not setting a limit for your gamble. Even though you know when to stop and control your emotions, it is still imperative to set limits and stick to them. If you don’t set a limit you will gamble more in some days depending on your income which is not proper. It is better to have a fixed amount regardless of how much you have.

There is a qualitative change taking place in society, which changes all the roles that the individual plays within his societal environment. Women are the biggest beneficiaries because they will at least give up traditional roles.
It is an approach that will remain a subject of moral controversy indefinitely because the phenomenon is provocative and it is not easy to come up with an objective assessment without falling into gender classifications, even though the comparison is between two different genders. I believe that the issue can only be studied from the point of view of analytical psychology, which classifies activities according to gender. For example, we find that men lead in the gambling industry, while women excel at excessive consumption of clothing and cosmetics.

We are living in a modern world, most people these days gamble online except for those who find physical gambling more enjoyable because of the thrill and the fun they can find in land-based and physical casino establishments. When it comes to women, they barely get time to go out and gamble at physical casinos unless they are completely free and independent and have enough time to do that but it's rare.

So women these days use online gambling platforms as well if they gamble, the percentage of female gamblers is generally very low but that doesn't mean women don't gamble at all, they do, but they mostly do it online and that is the reason why you barely see any on the betting shop.

[Kakmakr]

I am going to Cherry pick some questions and then answer them randomly.

Question 1 "How do you see women gamblers..."
Answer : I see no difference between the two genders. Every person is different and the gender makes no difference between how you gamble or how much you gamble.

Question 2 "How do you feel when you lose..."
Answer : I have a mixture of feelings that range from being sad and some times feeling anger. (Anger when I gambled too much and when I lose everything)

Question 3 "How do you spend your winnings.."
Answer : I seldom have anything to spend, because I gamble for entertainment and the money that are deposited or winnings, stay there so that I can play for a longer period.

We are in a different world now where girls seem to be engaging in things men do so i am not surprised just that the rate of women who engage in gambling keeps rising by the day and i just hope they are aware of the dangers of gambling addiction and they are educated enough to prevent themselves to becoming an addict. Anyone can gamble irrespective of their gender if they are up to the age range allowed to gamble.

how do you view notorious gamblers: I've been around some bet shop and have seen people watse more than a months salary on virtual or very huge amounts and woudl be sweating out of lose and have no choice but to chase their loses and end up losing even more.

Chasing ones loss is what lead to gambling addiction and people needs to understand that what is lost is lost. Once you start to involve emotions into your games gambling will get the best of you so when you lose you need to understand that it is not your day and instead of chasing your losses you just have to wait for another day and try again.

how do you really feel when you lose money on gambling?  Do you feel bad or just lie to yourself that's it was for fun?

Of course i feel bad. No one wants to lose money especially when you worked so hard to earn it so i do feel bad but i don’t let it get the best of me.

how do you spend your gambling wins:

I try to spend it on my needs that’s more pressing at the moment i believe it’s better that way than to spend it my wins on gambling again.

Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplinedenough to know when to stop?

I am disciplined enough to know when to stop but i just set limits on the amount to spend on gambling per week.

[junder]

That's right, this is very important, because with awareness we can stop gambling when we should, such as when we lose, which is what usually makes many gamblers unable to stop, they tend to gamble again by depositing money again and Again, maybe this happens because they hope that in the next gambling game they can get a win that can reverse the losses that have occurred. and of course thoughts like that tend to make us trapped ourselves. We also have to pay attention to this, if we have wrong thoughts then it is possible that in the future we will also be wrong. it's the same as when they get a win, gamblers who are thirsty for victory or still feel dissatisfied, of course they won't stop gambling, in fact, when they get a win, maybe it's time for them to place a bigger bet to be able to get a bigger win, but of course The factor of losing still applies, so as usual, it is very likely that the gambling you do will end in defeat. Whether the bet amount is large or small does not guarantee that you can win easily.
I agree with you, of course, if we have limits then we should be able to obey them and do them, because it is also for our own good primarily.

We all have different views about gambling, understanding of something among people is on different levels, and I believe that these people are slaves to their level of understanding, if they truly understand what gambling means, no one will dare to risk a lot of money on gambling.
Poor souls, they must have thought that it would be very easy to get lucky, but they failed to understand that luck doesn't come by every day, it's irresponsible gamblers' way, but at the same time I don't blame them, their mindset is not that great and wise.

The word 'irresponsible to their families' is true, but in the minds of these gamblers, they are probably thinking that they will be able to safe their families if they take huge risks, if something is wrong and your mind keeps telling you that it's right, you will do it thinking it's right....

In my submission, any gambler who knows when to stop can never be addicted or have a gambling-related problem such a gambler can easily overcome so many problems simply by stopping when it is necessary.

It's not really crucial at all. What you need to understand is when you should stop. Most of us only stop when we've got nothing left and that's how we're realizing that it's the time that we must stop. Some don't realize to stop when they're winning because the emotions are high and they think that they're at the top of the world thinking that they've got plenty of money and they're not going to lose any moment from that high they're experiencing.

Gamblers only keep on moving when they have money left on their pockets and balances. But when they're out of it, still two things, that's to stop or to continue and have another deposit. These are the realities being set and we're seeing from time to time when we're in such situation as we gamble.

But then, I have a concern with you not setting a limit for your gamble. Even though you know when to stop and control your emotions, it is still imperative to set limits and stick to them. If you don’t set a limit you will gamble more in some days depending on your income which is not proper. It is better to have a fixed amount regardless of how much you have.

Don't worry about me, as I've said. I am disciplined and I know what I am doing. I've gone through worst experiences about finances and gambling and that had taught me a lot of lessons that I am bringing up to this point of life. I know my limits and that's why whether I set it or not, when I have to stop then I'll just stop indefinitely and that's what I think is good about me. I'm not an addicted gambler and I understand my situation.

If there are betting shops that are exclusive to only women, I'm very sure that even though the crowd and number of women who will come to gamble will not be as the number of males gambling in their own place, but you would see women in those places gambling freely without the fear of being stigmatized by men who are still local in their reasoning. Online gambling has even made it possible for women to gamble that is why you even see that there are women in some telegram channels, WhatsApp channels or any place where gambling predictions and tips are being given or discussed.
