Is Gambling a scam

[GiftedMAN]

Hi guys let have your view on this questions because only real gamblers will understand what I mean?
Is Gambling with your hard earned money Worth it because I have come to the conclusion that gambling is a scam

I don't consider gambling a scam.You are clearly aware of what gambling entails and truly implies.You see that alot of people make decisions without considering the aftermath of their decisions;and that's how most people see and take gambling.I think people don't need to be completely admonished and instructed on what to do or how to do it.Gambling is a different entity with scam because the perspectives is completely different.

Same here I never see gambling as a scam cause before any engages in gambling they are clearly aware of what they are going into and by right they should be 18 years and above as one of the Tos is rightly stated that one should be 18 years old and above before registering in any gambling company online.

I think people are only advised to stop gambling when they are becoming addicts I don't see wrongs in doing that especially if the person is your friend or relative. Gambling is meant to be played by people who understands what it is all about anyone who doesn't have what it takes shouldn't see it as a scam because the company only renders services they force no one to participate in any gambling.

Gambling is not a scam because all the Gambling companies are dueling registered under the appropriate laws setting up Gambling and they pay tax to government making their business legal so Gambling is not a scam but it all depends on the way you look at it because there is a way you will lose in gambling that sometimes you Begin to Wonder if gambling is a scam , but the best title for this thread would have been is gambling really Worth it

having a registered company doesn't mean it couldn't be a scam
but you are correct, most of the gambling websites have an edge for the house, as usual, but are not scams
I totally agree that "is gambling really worth it?" would be a better title for this thread

the percentage of people who win in gambling and the percentage of people who lose in gambling cannot be equated because it is clear that people who lose in gambling is higher than the people who wins in gambling so if we bring the statistics you will see the different between people that the benefited in gambling and the people who have not benefited in the gambling through winning and also losing so this things now will make you to have a limitation of your participation in gambling and also make you do not have hope every time that you win in the gambling often or you will lose

The percentage of winning and loses can not be comparable and majority of those that are losing are more than those that are winning and does that are losing are the once seen gambling but it's not scam and they really need to understand before they start concluding that it's a scam so they need to have understanding if it is already there then there won't be this issue, because there are people that are to greedy and just because of how greedy they are they will keep losing then they will eventually not get any tangible from it when you losing, and when it turns that way it wil Be better for you to just quite so that you don't end up see it as a scam, the earlier the better the participation is reduced to be on a safer side.

that is the kind of things some people need to understand towards gambling gambling never be a scam but it is due to the way we participate in gambling and our expectation that makes some people to come in conclusion but gambling is a scam, from my understanding in gambling if you refused to study gambling very well you may think that the gambling is a scam why it is clear to the blind gambling is all about a risk and it is the risk that will determine your winning or not, so if fail understand that gambling can only be scam when you win in a particular platform and the gambling websites knock you out of their site, it's when you say gambling is a scam.

I would say that for gambling to be a profitable business in the long term for a casino or a bookie it is rather a 52/48 instead of a 50/50, in favor of the house, of course.
Even though I know of people who has lost important amounts of money to casinos and bookies, I am yet to see the first one with my very own eyes which blames it all to the casino and not to their bad luck.

Trust me, you’re yet to see it all, lol. I’ve seen so many people who blames the casino for their losses, saying they manipulated the results. This could be seen in gamblers who go indulge in virtual or simulated sports gambling, since the games are not real and at the same time, promises instant rewards to gamblers, gamblers believe it’s easier for the casinos to easily manipulate the outcome and results of these games, so even if they eventually lose due to their gambling misconduct or high expectations, it’s easier for them to rather shift the blame on the casino just because things didn’t go according to as planned, forgetting that gambling success isn’t guaranteed at all.

Assuming gambling is a scam, all of us would have left it and go for something else that is not it, the more we keep making it knownn to many that gambling is a form of getting entertained by wjat we like doing most in our leisure time, not to also right about the way it has been generating income for many, when we know what we are doing and how we are into it, the entire thing will be more done conveniently by is because we are having a better understanding of it from gambling.

But in the end the accusation that gambling is fraud is also unfounded because this only goes back to assumptions but in the end gambling has its own legal umbrella where they run a business called “gambling business” and there is no compulsion to be here because it is only for those who want to do it.

Regardless of whether we always get losses, it is the gambler's risk because they only accommodate gambling activities legally and legally (for some cases of large sites or land-based casinos) which already have their own legal entity where the legality certificate is held from the relevant government.

So it will still be difficult when saying they are scams while in some countries they are still legal because the government supports it. This is why gambling will still be a business as long as when talking about fraud in gambling this can indeed happen but the case is not when we lose the game but there is an error in gambling activities that occur.

There is no justification for gambling as a way to generate income in life, because the profits in gambling cannot be predicted accurately so there is no clear income that can be obtained including those who gamble using a strategy because in general there is no strategy that will definitely make us succeed in getting profits consistently, for example, there is an accurate strategy to be able to get a win, maybe I have used it.
A person who understands gambling will not make gambling a way to make money, they will do it just for entertainment or to fill their free time and actually it should be like this because with this there will be no major losses that will occur.

Many gambling sites give lots of bonuses to people who become members for the first time.

I think the aim is just to get them used to gambling. Then it makes them earn a little. Then the gambler slowly starts to lose and this time he thinks he will get back what he put in and never play again, but he keeps losing.

The best thing is to stay away from gambling.

It will be difficult for some one has been addicted into gambling to totally stay away from gambling.
You are very correct in your first statement like currently now I have some bonuses from sporting bet that I haven't even use till now I decided to abandon the site now because I have lost lots of money they are only giving me those bonus to see if I will come back again and start gambling because they have seen that am no longer active in that site.

And the worst mistake gamblers make is been desperate to win after much losses at the end you still keep on losing because you are currently under pressure the pressure of trying to win back lost money and this mostly happen in virtual games where you will play and see the results immediately.

You are right, in fact, there are other private business people who have built their own gambling business for their charity program through their gambling casino. Where every gambler bets on their gambling platform, a certain percentage of it will go to their charity program.

Even in our government here, there is also a charity program via lottery where poor people who go to the hospital, they provide help to these uncapable people who are poor.

In what context? I mean what problem makes you assume that gambling is a scam? Honestly, since the beginning of my acquaintance with gambling, I have never had such thoughts except for a reasonable reason, such as the casino not processing or failing the withdrawal process that I did, or vice versa when I made a deposit then the casino froze and blocked my account,
But if the problem is, for example, the idea of ​​fraud is because you often lose than win, then of course it is not a scam, but you are the one who is very far from what is called luck.
Hmm, I'm sure that idea would never have occurred to a gambler who from the beginning already knows and understands what and how gambling really is, especially from the concept of winning and losing, and that is the reason why before we get involved in an activity, try to understand it first so that you don't have negative thoughts about something that I think should be considered normal.

In general, when players lose their money without following strict responsible gambling practices, 99% of the time they will blame the website and accuse it of fraud. On the flip side, when someone gets lucky, he won’t say that and might even praise the bookmaker and recommend it. The word "scam" is often the first thing that comes to mind when losing money. This is why it’s important to gamble within our means to avoid bad surprises or accusations.

at the end of the day gambling platform or websites related to gambling are what pay signatures here in the forum and contribute a lot for the activity on bitcointalk and even on this board
so... this is one thinkj to remember

I think that just blatantly calling it a scam is a bit shallow.

First deposit bonuses or new user bonuses are indeed naturally giving out that big amount of add up on which it will really be that looking to be that interesting into those who are just new to gambling. We do know that when it comes into this aspect on where newbie gamblers will really be having that kind of spike of interest on seeing these bonuses but on the moment or time that they had experienced out those shit terms and conditions then this is where they will be making out some realizations that it was never been that easy to get out with the house terms and conditions until you had bust up all the balances you do have. This is why at the time that you do find yourself with these bonuses again then you dont like it anymore or wont be interested on it.

Slots are just a game with low chances of winning, but if no one could win in these games, then no one would play them. I understand what you mean, and apparently for casinos this forum is a good platform for advertising if there are so many of them here. Gambling is definitely not a scam, each player can familiarize themselves with the rules of the game before starting to play, and besides, the casino has not only slots, you can choose many different games.

Many gambling sites can be somehow difficult to know which one worth our time. Every gambler want to make money from betting and the casino also want to make money from us to which is why we have been seeing so many bad casinos trying hard to steal from their customers. We could make money from a bad casinos and then we are stuck with withdrawals. Some casinos will not hesitate to close gamblers accounts just to frustrate them so tey can keep trying submitting different credentials to claim their funds. This is one of the reasons why some gamblers will conclude that gambling is scam. Many will keep betting to win but will not due to different reasons.

[348Judah]

gambling is not a scam, but people are the scammers who uses gambling in a dubious way, they try to penetrate into the hearts of the people and general public at most to ensure that they have conquered their mind and then later introduce to them what they think its a weak point to them because of lacking adequate information, but a reputable gambling platform will not just do that, instead , they are going to make their gambler have the satisfying customer experience.

Rhia is very true  that registration doesn't guarantee an organization been fraud free but this is where he regulatory bodies comes in, they are supposed to protect the interest of the public as the public sees their approval as a reason to be associated with any of those but then it's sad sometimes it turns out that in some countries some of theses regulatory bodies do not have measures for control on all of theses and so expose the public to some of these schemes and begin to get the public loose trust in them and not seeing their approval as one which can be trusted enough to be a reason to accept and trust any of these casinos.

one can risk their own money because its their money but unless the money a 18 year old uses to gamble is his from working then i do not think he should be risking anything let’s say he uses his parents’ money, how would that be okay to risk when potentially he is spending money to be used for far more important things? risk your money after you’ve earned it because it’s your money and you can do absolutely whatever with it if you like

Whatever your age, you will be always risking your money in gambling if you don't know the nature of gambling. Even you are already 18 years old and have your own job, it doesn't remove the risk in gambling. To deal with the risk, you must have good understanding of gambling and know the limitation in gambling. You will know that we can't spend money carelessly in gambling, it is just the way to lose everything. The best way is to make it just for fun only and have limitation for gambling budget weekly or monthly.

well thats even better explanation , but that still stands the idea that we as Asian are mostly relying on our parents money at that age means we cannot risk as much because we are preparing funds for more better things than to gamble .

yes, slots are pure luck too, no skill involved
I usually opt for games of skill where I can at least learn and improve over time

sometimes the skill is just bankroll and emotion management with gambling, depends on the game
