THERE ARE TWO THINGS INVOLVED

[Crypt0Gore]

No. Well at least for me.

The gambling is something that has to do with countless things... let's start there, then, you don't start betting the moment you literally do it, that is the first mistake.

Since, first of all and regardless of religion , beliefs, being a good son, husband, father, and in general fulfilling your responsibilities is your first big bet.

Consequently, the first bet you make is with yourself, so, if you don't know yourself, or you have doubts, the other best thing you can do is pay for a consultation with a person who does coaching, or a psychologist, who will evaluate your mental abilities to understand if you can enjoy gambling without addictions.

Now, even if you feel good with the previous two, your results are never measured by a single value (+.-), it is the long term.

Say no more brother, what you wrote says it all, and this is why I like saying that gambling isn't for everyone, even though everyone can be a gambler, many people will be messed up in the end.

If one can't even trust himself how can they handle gambling? For such people gambling will become a psychological suffering, they won't be able to keep up with all the necessary disciplinarian acts of a responsible gambler.

So the first check must be awareness, what are you all about, can you really handle gambling and not go out of your boundaries? Etc, these are personal challenges before one decides to start gambling.

That's the craziest and saddest reality about gambling mate, I was once got a friend of mine who's really prioritize gambling on cockfighting instead of expenses for his family. Several times he had been earning a lot of money, but it turns out all of it was gone due to gambling activities. Those you mentioned were all associated with his situation right now, and until such time he was kicked out from the mortgaged house he had because he's out of debt.
Gambling abuse needs a serious rehabilitation for every person who drowned into it, many scenario tend to burst out without such control of themselves. They're screwed up in making false stories just to borrow money or even saying problems that doesn't actually happen in order to take loans just for gambling investment money.
This topic is an eye opener for everybody, what's most important is facing your weaknesses instead of denying the bad effects of gambling into our lives.

Once a person has reached that stage it is very difficult to help them, after all it is clear that he is prioritizing the source of his addiction over his loved ones, a decision that may cause his family to give their backs to them, since even if they still loved him, at the same time they will realize that a family cannot live out of love, and money is necessary to keep things running as they should.

And once this happens then there will be even less of an incentive for your friend to change their ways, as he would have lost everything already and he only has his addiction to look forward.

The odds for any casino game are always in favour of the casino. This means that the more you gamble, the more the odds acts against you. Chances are that you will go out of the casino with less cash in your wallet than when you came in with when entered the casino.

For business continuity, I guess you are right about that and I feel it is justified. If the odds were to be in favor of the players, do you think anyone will dare to launch a casino? Who ventures into a business you know you will lose? Besides, have you thought about what it means to win $50k with as little as $1? That is the risk the casinos are exposed to and with just few jackpots from the gamblers, the casino reserved funds will be massively depleted. Even though the odds is in favor of the casinos, people are still winning so our target should be to be among those winning.

Most of us often have a greedy mentality, fear of missing out on opportunities when we win money, and regret when we lose. If you keep going around in a cycle of gain and loss, the thing you lose the most may be your time. Think carefully is a good thing, but if you overthinking, you may not make a wise decision later.

I agree with you that most people have greediness mentality in gambling, and that is just the main reason why some people keep on repeating same mistake in gambling. They always want to win but when loses comes they becomes agresive not knowing that gambling is not a business to put hope in rather play and totally remove your mind from it. If winning come you accept in good Faith, if it doesn't also comes you relax. Not when wining comes most people thinks it's the right time to continue gambling  not knowing that the previous they won is just by luck.

Having a greedy mentality is a normal thing for human and will never gone. But we can hold our greediness so that will not gives us problem, especially when we playing gambling. But we must learn about how to control our greediness and self control will helps us to avoids our greediness becomes bigger. When we wins, our greediness will trying to becomes bigger and if we can control ourselves better, we will not follow our greedy because that can makes us in trouble. We will knows how to decides and will thinks clear that we must force our greedy not to becomes bigger so we can leave gambling easily. We can act normally when we wins and will not thinks to keeps playing gambling because wanting more wins but we will stops our gambling activity. We will thinks that stops playing gambling is the best thing that we can do to prevents our greediness posses us and makes us continue playing gambling.

If there's a casino without house edge, it means they will look into other ways to make money.

It could be additional deposit fees, high withdrawal fees, dormant account fees, fees to start gamble or any other ridiculous ways. In the end, casino will make money while most gamblers will loss, that's the fact that can't be accepted for gambling addicts lol.

That's right mate, don't engage in gambling if you cannot control yourself. This is the reason why gambling is for mentally mature adults. I know a neighbor who said he would never engage in any gambling besides sports bets, or live matches precisely. According to him, he might not be able to control his gambling exercise if he engages in other types of betting. Therefore gamblers always evaluate themselves to know their strength and weaknesses to avoid becoming hooked to gambling.

That kind of awareness is very rare, for the most part, people believe themselves to be capable of all kind of things, but when they actually try to test their expectations against the reality they find out they were wrong all along.

Most of the time this is not much of a problem, but there are instances in which this can be catastrophic, especially when it comes to money matters, so it is refreshing to see someone that actually can see their own weaknesses and take some preventive actions.

Yes good mindset is essential and combined with gambling exposure as OP shared with would be beneficial. Well of course it depends on the tolerance of the player on which how much loss or how many losses can he tolerate before he truly stops gambling for the day. Because knowing that there is endless opportunities in gambling, that there's no reason to FOMO, that there is better bet next day will put you to a better pedestal to manage yourself in gambling. So you set the rules for yourself, and you follow it rigorously.
