When I decide to bet on something, I do it for the adrenaline, if we just want to win money, you don't focus that much on the game, unless the game depends solely on luck.

It's true that the advantage will always be with the house, they may even let you win a little, but you will certainly lose more than win. Just yesterday I was playing, in the first or second round of a game (fortune tiger) I got a super win of 8$, if I had stopped and withdrawn, I could have made a profit. I bet very little because I always bet what I am willing to lose.

Hi everyone,

Gambling has become very popular in the world , especially after the changes that have occurred over the years with modern technology and the abundance of games, we can now gamble with one push    anywhere and anytime . More money is flowing to sites and casinos in huge quantities, and everyone’s goal is to win more ,As is always known, if there is a loser, there is a winner, and I don't think that the percentage of losers is greater than the winners .

Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?

Gambling is not just a place to loss but also a place to win money. We can't use one part to justify or judge the whole, because someone is winning doesn't mean gambling is a place to make money or maybe someone is losing doesn't mean it's a place to loss money just like I said earlier loss and win is Paramount in gambling. The reason why those companies is working is because of the percentage of loser, if the percentage of loser is not higher than the percentage of winners that company will fold so for those companies to be active the percentage of loser has to be a bit higher.

That's the point I was trying to make that gambling could also be a good source of income to many persons, I know people that live off gambling and get some extra money from it, but yeah the public opinion of gamblers is that they are going to lose their money and that is because of the greed factor that affects most gambler or an uncontrolled gambling habit.

You have a point but people also use gambling as a means to get money, here here know there are abusers that don't have co trolley and end up wreaking themselves in the process of trying g to multiply their money but if gambling is used properly then you can have hope to make money out of it.

Like I normal use gambling to get money yo spend or flex in the weekend and it works well for me, alm and do is stake high on small odds and i get 2x or 4x of my money, the casino has a lot of games to pick from and I normally go for live matches football and that's what has been working for me.

in gambling two things is involved it is neither you lose in gambling or you profit in gambling so whosoever that is into gambling normally no very well that you might lose today in gambling and they also benefit tomorrow so that courage is what to make people to continue to gamble hoping that one day they will win in gambling and for me I believe such concept because gambling is something we all know that I have a positive effect and also negative effect depends your strategies to gamble, many people has become a beneficiary of gambling based on they are opportune to win but when you take a statistics of people who lose in gambling and the people who also win in gambling you will notice that the ratio of people that lose in gambling is higher than the people that win in gambling but that will not make us to be discouraged not to participate in gambling

That's true, even though sports betting is based on our research where being able to get a lot of information can make your chances of winning greater, but of course the luck factor cannot be separated from this. All gambling definitely requires luck which will give you a win. Even though sports betting can be based on our own expertise, we must be able to limit everything, don't be too confident and don't be too confident in gambling. because behavior that is too self-confident can make us lose self-control which ultimately leads to losses too.

I agree with what you say, gambling should not be done to make money considering that the chance of winning will only be obtained by the host, and the chance of losing in the long term applies to ordinary gamblers. So do gambling only for entertainment or for fun to avoid major losses. because with the many cases that have occurred, it is hoped that this can be used as a lesson not to gamble excessively.
That is why we must be careful when place the bet as we don't know what is the outcomes so we don't have to worry if our bet is wrong and makes us lose. If we can limits our gambling times, we will not break our allocation money and we can enjoy our time to playing gambling.
We can not depends on our predictions to win because we must remember that every match can gives us surprises that can happens in the fields. Our chances to win in the gambling games will not too big so we do not have to playing gambling with hard.
We can playing gambling for fun but not for makes money as we will not have a big chance to win and only spends some money that we can afford to loses. If we can prevents the big lose, we will not be too sad because we know how to treats gambling as an entertainment.

We can playing gambling for fun but not for makes money as we will not have a big chance to win and only spends some money that we can afford to loses. If we can prevents the big lose, we will not be too sad because we know how to treats gambling as an entertainment.

In fact, when gambling results in defeat, it is a normal thing because it has become a decision that cannot be changed, if the player only has a greater chance of losing in the long term, it is true what you said, we have to be careful in placing bets or with the actions that will be taken. This is done when gambling, if you are not ready to lose, you should not just gamble because losing money is something that will definitely happen. Limits must be owned and controlled by every gambler, because by having their own limits, they will probably not take big risky actions that could make them lose a lot of money. Also, by having limits, of course your finances will be in order, because those who experience losing a lot of money may be because they don't have set limits.

Yes, that's true, the chances that gamblers have are not that big, because the industry itself has a bigger chance of winning. Therefore, we must be able to gamble appropriately, not excessively, because even if we gamble excessively, such as by risking everything we have, it will not change the factors of chance or luck. Also, basically gambling is just for fun, not to make money, with those who gamble with the aim of making money, I'm sure they experience losing money more than making money.

Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?
Gambling can be whatever you make of it. As a person who gambles responsibly, it could be a place where you make money because you keep to the ethics of responsible gambling. As a person who gambles irresponsibly, it could be a place where you lose money because you break all the rules in the gambling book.
Our perspectives and opinions cannot all be the same. If you gamble more frequently(3-4 times per week), you'll experience more losses than wins. If you gamble less frequently (1-2 times per week) you'll have more wins than losses.

You are totally correct, how we gamble depends if we will make money or not, if we choose to gamble irresponsibly or responsibly, whatever we sow, that is what we are going to reap, we can't gamble irresponsible and expect to be winning likewise if we gamble responsibly and hope to loss, it can't happen that way, if we adhere to the rules and regulations of gambling, we will benefit from it and make money through it and it can even change our lives, although gambling is not something we can really joke with, expect we don't allow it to destroy us but no matter what we do, we should always apply the principle of gambling and we won't fall a victim of loss, even if we will loss but not that much.

Maybe what you mean is that it depends on our intentions and goals for gambling, whether our goal is for entertainment or to make money, because if our intention is only for entertainment, it is very likely that if defeat befalls us, at least we will accept that defeat because we are only looking for something. entertainment and maybe there is no curiosity to play again, but if we intend to make money from gambling, it is very likely that we will find it difficult to accept defeat and there will be a very big feeling of curiosity, then we will definitely gamble further because we haven't gotten what we want. In fact, gambling is up to us, if we intend to make money or make gambling the main ingredient to make money, that's a big mistake because gambling is an administrator's tactic.

So, no matter how good our tactics or way of playing, gambling still depends on luck, there are times when we are given a win and there are times when we are given a loss, and in my experience, gambling has more losses than wins, so it is better to just use gambling as entertainment or fun. For ourselves, rather than using it to make money, it will result in big losses.

~snip~
Well, in my country, gambling is legal; casinos pay their taxes and are allowed to operate freely. Advertising on billboards is not free, and as long as the casino is advertising their business for what they think is possible, no one will come for them. It's the responsibility of a gambler to be responsible. 

Some people are thinking this way because they have seen or either heard the stories of other gamblers that won millions of dollars just by gambling or they have also heard or seen people win jackpots, so they motivate themselves with such stories or experiences of others. 

Exactly.

Gambling basically exploits the way that our brains work.

We are very bad at probabilities, so casinos can craft games that sound very good on paper for a normal person and makes them feel they are almost winning, but in reality the odds are extremely low.

Also the fact that one person wins a lot of money sounds like it can happen to anyone, but the odds of that happening to the person buying a ticket are extremely low.

And so on, there are many tricks that they basically use. I find it fascinating, I'm sure they hire lots of psychologists and people in similar areas.

My dear, the house edge of the casino is designed in full favor of the casino. The gross profit that a casino expects from each game is huge compared to the odds given to the gambler. The other day, I was playing plinko on stake.com, and guess what? I lost $5 in just a few minutes because I kept on getting 0.5x multipliers. If only gamblers would be aware of the better advantage that casinos have in making more profit than the gambler, then they would not see gambling as a place to make money because even before you win huge, you must have lost a lot of money too.

You are totally correct, how we gamble depends if we will make money or not, if we choose to gamble irresponsibly or responsibly, whatever we sow, that is what we are going to reap, we can't gamble irresponsible and expect to be winning likewise if we gamble responsibly and hope to loss, it can't happen that way, if we adhere to the rules and regulations of gambling, we will benefit from it and make money through it and it can even change our lives, although gambling is not something we can really joke with, expect we don't allow it to destroy us but no matter what we do, we should always apply the principle of gambling and we won't fall a victim of loss, even if we will loss but not that much.
Alternatively, you can treat gambling as just a pastime and not make this activity an absolute priority, as beginners do who only have a thirst for victory. I have long adhered to this philosophy and play without the goal of winning, but just to have a good time, then I have no disappointment from losses ,I have a certain budget per quarter that I can spend on games.

Exactly.

Gambling basically exploits the way that our brains work.

We are very bad at probabilities, so casinos can craft games that sound very good on paper for a normal person and makes them feel they are almost winning, but in reality the odds are extremely low.

Also the fact that one person wins a lot of money sounds like it can happen to anyone, but the odds of that happening to the person buying a ticket are extremely low.

And so on, there are many tricks that they basically use. I find it fascinating, I'm sure they hire lots of psychologists and people in similar areas.

My dear, the house edge of the casino is designed in full favor of the casino. The gross profit that a casino expects from each game is huge compared to the odds given to the gambler. The other day, I was playing plinko on stake.com, and guess what? I lost $5 in just a few minutes because I kept on getting 0.5x multipliers. If only gamblers would be aware of the better advantage that casinos have in making more profit than the gambler, then they would not see gambling as a place to make money because even before you win huge, you must have lost a lot of money too. 

That's right, overall the real profit is only for the casino itself, and let's think logically, if it's true that gambling can be used as a place to make money, then why does most of the evidence say and show that someone who is addicted always experiences various bad things? in their lives, a simple example is from a financial perspective where they even have difficulty making ends meet due to excessive gambling, meaning that no one can achieve wealth or become rich just by gambling unless you are the owner of the casino itself.

Another reason why gambling cannot be used as a place to make money is that I think all gamblers often experience that winning comes by chance, even though at first they didn't expect the win, but when they gambled with the intention of making a profit, the result at the end of the session ended up being a loss. Never mind, don't overthink, because there is absolutely no certainty or guarantee for all gamblers to always win at the end of the session, and that's why we always recommend making gambling a place of entertainment without placing any hope of winning or seriousness.

in gambling two things is involved it is neither you lose in gambling or you profit in gambling so whosoever that is into gambling normally no very well that you might lose today in gambling and they also benefit tomorrow so that courage is what to make people to continue to gamble hoping that one day they will win in gambling and for me I believe such concept because gambling is something we all know that I have a positive effect and also negative effect depends your strategies to gamble, many people has become a beneficiary of gambling based on they are opportune to win but when you take a statistics of people who lose in gambling and the people who also win in gambling you will notice that the ratio of people that lose in gambling is higher than the people that win in gambling but that will not make us to be discouraged not to participate in gambling

If what OP is saying is true, many gambling companies wouldn't have returning customers but to some extent he his right. People tend to lose more in gambling than they make money from gambling and that's because it's either they don't understand how it works or their predictions is beyond lower line and because of greed they loss or the event is beyond what they imagined. There are somethings that are just beyond a gambler controls, you just had to accept the outcome the way it comes.

Gambling isn't for everyone, as we discussing here that gambling makes a lot of people to lose money, there is a guy sitting somewhere making all the money from gambling and they can't stop him from winning because he doesn't cheat and luck is just by his side. As a potential player, if you play and you doesn't make any money as you expect, it's better to quit and looks elsewhere, the better you stop the less money you will lose in gambling.

Gambling is high risk opportunity but you can reduce the risk by being very cautious with how you are gambling. Gambling can make you to become an addict that loves to gamble in a wired way. You are always going to lose when gambling but it is how you control your losses that matters so you do not end up losing all the money that you have. We should be gambling in a way that we make money than we are losing it therefore it is not every game that we should be playing when we are gambling. We have to be very careful with the type of games we select as some.games are vey difficult to predict to win them and those are games that depend on luck for you to be able to win and not those that depends on your skills. Gambling is not only a place to lose money, you can make money from gambling too but you just do not have to be depending on gambling for making money.
For gamblers, there is no such thing as a high-risk opportunity. For them, if they want to get anything, they must risk everything, in any case, of course they already know this from the start of playing gambling. I think they always carry out a careful strategy or control every game they play, they definitely know when to enter or leave the game. In my opinion, gambling is a game of luck. If a gambler is good at holding a card in a poker game, of course that person doesn't waste their opportunity and they follow the flow of their opponent's game if they want to get big profits until the end.

That doesn't mean you should see gambling as a source of income because you'll lose money to gambling. It's a game of chance, that's why there are odds. Just take it as a fun thing that can make you money, and also keep at the back of your mind that losing in gambling is certain, in fact, you'll lose more times than you win, but your wins may cover your losses.

People lose more than they win, and that is why the casino business is flourishing. If people win more than they lose, that means casinos are running at a loss and they might not exist.

You are right mate,I dont know why the OP sees gambling and it negativity only,when you know quite well that gambling can also give people food,it won't only take away the money you are supposed to use in feeding,it will also provide money to you if you are lucky enough,and if you device the right means to use in getting it.Gambling is bad,I agree with him hundred percent,but he should also know that people have made it in life due to the fact that they had in mind of making it while starting the gambling life,so it is a two way thing,you either win or you lose.But it shouldn't be a general assumption that gamblers are losers.

You can't just conclude that gambling is a place to lose it.Yes people do lose on gambling and people still win.So if you say gambling is a place where people lose it same also apply to a place where people win.Gambling is a thing of luck no gambler plays gambling with the expectation of winning always,if you're lucky you win and if you're not then you lose,it's just vice versa.Op you ought to say gambling is not a source of income anyone should rely on making profits but a game for fun and entertainment that the lucky ones go home with a prize.

Hi everyone,

Gambling has become very popular in the world , especially after the changes that have occurred over the years with modern technology and the abundance of games, we can now gamble with one push    anywhere and anytime . More money is flowing to sites and casinos in huge quantities, and everyone’s goal is to win more ,As is always known, if there is a loser, there is a winner, and I don't think that the percentage of losers is greater than the winners .

Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?
Gambling is whatever you choose to call it. Because obviously it's not just a place of loss or a place of win; it's both, and it all depends on how you predict yours; that's where you can judge it. Some people can predict and get a nice one, and luckily it's a win for them, but there's no guarantee that it's winning because even great gamblers lose sometimes.

If one gambles to get rich, it's obviously the wrong perspective because your odds will basically be bigger and higher, which might give you a loss.

Sometimes when I hear news of a big win, I discover lots of gamblers gamble with a very big amount with a smaller prediction, which gives them a big odd, and when they win, it's a big win; hence, some people gamble with just a small amount with big odds, expecting magic from me. Some can win their first game, while others can never make a celebration of winning despite being into it for a longer time. So it's obviously a game of strategy accompanied by luck.

In addition to what you have said, gambling is a game of luck according to some people but to me it's a game of grace. Just like what I said in my previous post most people mistake grace to luck and for your information gambling is not a place to lose money neither is it just a place to make money rather both are the definition of gamble so don't get it wrong.

Different people has different perspective and different mentality about gambling, there are people who don't gamble and they are the people that believe and always say it's a place to lose money and there are people who win and lose, they are the people that believe it's a place to lose and make money. There are people who believe they are going to make it with gamble no matter the Loss they incurre.

In fact, when gambling results in defeat, it is a normal thing because it has become a decision that cannot be changed, if the player only has a greater chance of losing in the long term, it is true what you said, we have to be careful in placing bets or with the actions that will be taken. This is done when gambling, if you are not ready to lose, you should not just gamble because losing money is something that will definitely happen. Limits must be owned and controlled by every gambler, because by having their own limits, they will probably not take big risky actions that could make them lose a lot of money. Also, by having limits, of course your finances will be in order, because those who experience losing a lot of money may be because they don't have set limits.

Yes, that's true, the chances that gamblers have are not that big, because the industry itself has a bigger chance of winning. Therefore, we must be able to gamble appropriately, not excessively, because even if we gamble excessively, such as by risking everything we have, it will not change the factors of chance or luck. Also, basically gambling is just for fun, not to make money, with those who gamble with the aim of making money, I'm sure they experience losing money more than making money.
Playing gambling can gives lose. That is what gamblers must realizes so they do not have to playing gambling using much money because that can makes their lose becomes bigger. The chance to win is not too big so gamblers must be careful to spends their money in gambling.
Gamblers must have limitation in gambling to prevents the big lose and must realizes that gambling is not place to make money but they can lose much money. With limitation, gamblers will knows how to manage their money in gambling and also for other things so they do not just spend money for playing gambling.
Gambler must realizes that they can only playing gambling and not makes money in gambling because the chance to win is not too big. If we can playing gambling moderately, we will not gets big lose and enjoy the gambling games because that is our reason to playing gambling.

Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?
Gambling can be whatever you make of it. As a person who gambles responsibly, it could be a place where you make money because you keep to the ethics of responsible gambling. As a person who gambles irresponsibly, it could be a place where you lose money because you break all the rules in the gambling book.
Our perspectives and opinions cannot all be the same. If you gamble more frequently(3-4 times per week), you'll experience more losses than wins. If you gamble less frequently (1-2 times per week) you'll have more wins than losses.

Yes what one perceived a thing to become that is what it will be, perception is very important to anything one is engaged on , despite many seeing gambling as having more losses some too see it as a place of making more profit every heart don't think the same thing but can only bring to table and agree I did not agree it's a place of loss as individual knows best what gambling serves for them.

Gambling required some planing in the Sense that you don't give all your income into it it has higher of wining you  apart from that one need know it limit he gamble  there is nothing wrong if one balance the situation I see most losses as a result too much give out to gambling in turn becoming addicted to it that leads to such even as that those who make good living out of it is still there. Two things is always involved in most life situation loose or win and that always remain constant, if you loss others win therefore your perception to your loss differs from person who wins.

Gambling is a place to win money, but it's also a place to lose money. When you gamble, you either win or you lose. People have won huge sums of money from gambling so I can say gambling is a place to win money.
That doesn't mean you should see gambling as a source of income because you'll lose money to gambling. It's a game of chance, that's why there are odds. Just take it as a fun thing that can make you money, and also keep at the back of your mind that losing in gambling is certain, in fact, you'll lose more times than you win, but your wins may cover your losses.

People lose more than they win, and that is why the casino business is flourishing. If people win more than they lose, that means casinos are running at a loss and they might not exist.
Remembering that gambling is a business, profits and losses will occur, even though players will most likely only experience losses frequently, this is normal because this is a business where they promise winnings that can only be obtained by players who are really lucky. In my opinion, gambling should not be said to involve only one party, wins and losses will occur in gambling. But for those who can't control themselves, it's not surprising that they lose a lot of money, even though if they can gamble patiently, maybe they can win later.
That's right, gambling is a game of chance, because there is a chance to win and there is also a chance to lose and also the winnings that can be obtained are usually based on the player's own luck. but I doubt there is a win that can cover the losses that have occurred. This is very unlikely to happen, maybe for those who really have god-level luck they can get a win that can cover all their losses.
