Is Gambling a scam

[Hazink]

Actually everything has its own risks, including in gambling. Everyone knows that gambling never guarantees the win, it even spends a lot our money. If we have no control for our emotion, we may be influenced to spend all the money to chase the wins. Or we may be triggered to gamble as much as possible to recover the losses. This is totally wrong way in gambling, this will lead into an excessive gambling. The only way is to limit control our emotion by limiting the funds and the time to play gambling games. So, it is true that controlling emotion is very important in gambling.

Controlling one's emotions is what a gambler should even test and work on before embarking on gambling. After that, you move to training yourself to always keep to the amount you have set as a limit for gambling and the time frame to spend on each day you decide to gamble, because if someone doesn't have that control in them, even setting up rules and limits to keep them on track, they will always easily break that limit themselves; it won't stand for long, especially when they get emotionally attached to the game, either due to losing or winning.

Setting the amount to be allocated can be done by everyone, but maintaining it is the point of difficulty, I am sure everyone does not want to experience big losses in gambling but consciously or unconsciously sometimes they forget the limits that they should obey until what they do is gamble beyond reasonable limits. And with someone who does not have self-control, this allows them to be easily provoked by their emotions, it is not strange if they say gambling is a scam because they cannot accept the defeat that occurs. Gambling is basically a means of entertainment in the form of a game, it's just that this is the seriousness of some people who do it, of course, those who have the goal of being able to get profit from gambling continuously, this is ridiculous because there is no victory that can be obtained continuously.

Exactly! you need to have that capability to control your emotions, as gambling always carries risk and if you don't know how to control then you'll suffer more loses, and for most of those who keep losing and become addicted they mostly blame the house there's some who pointing fingers to someone and some that accused the house that cheats on them as they are expecting to have a better result but at the end of the session they lose everything they deposit and regret such mistakes.

So, it is true that controlling emotion is very important in gambling.

Controlling emotion is the most important part of the gambling even in cryptocurrency trading. Both of high risky and more chances to lose your capital if you can't control your emotion, personally i am experienced a few big losses in the gambling even also in theke crypto trading, i bet with big amount in the wrong time, so i lost in the big game. Yeah, we shouldn’t bet with big capital because there no guarantee you will win or lose at end of the day.

Indeed, if you don't have that proper control you may lose everything even it's not intend to be use for your gambling, I guess the best way is just deposit the amount you can afford to let go and let the entertainment part be carry his way and not to exceed to from your set budget, you'll start pointing fingers when you lose a huge amount.

It's not a scam if you are doing it accordingly but when you start exceeding from how you percept things then it's start additional problem to the point that it will be a regretful experienced..

It is different if something feels like scam and it is different if something is a scam. Nowdays most casinos are regulated and there is strict control so I guess most of renowned casinos are not scam, but if you ask the person who lost big amount of money, I'm sure he will feel cheated and try to blame casino instead of his lack of control.

And everyone should have in mind things that you said about gambling should not be means to make profit. If they forget that there is bigger risk of big losses.

But is still not a scam then if you gamble more than needed You just get addicted, not scammed

"not a scam when doing accordingly", but what moment gambling turns into scam then? I am really curious when will people stop thinking "losing means being scammed". People should restart their brain and stop expecting every bet to win. Stop blaming and accusing other for their own actions.

You are right, mate. Anyone that knows what scam truly means, will not call gambling a scam. If gambling was a scam, then it would be banned in almost all the country. There's no gambler that doesn't lose money but yet they don't refer to it as scam.

What do you mean by the word equivalent here? It means that it is clear that from the beginning in general everyone must gamble with money from their hard work, you yourself decide to gamble and there is no coercion or even threats from anyone including the casino that tells you to get involved in gambling, so of course it doesn't make sense if you think that the casino has cheated you just because you experience a loss with a possibly quite large amount. On the other hand, I am honestly sure that you will never think that you have been cheated by the casino if for example you managed to win, meaning that the assumption of fraud actually comes from within you because you feel disappointed and emotional because you lost while on the other hand it is clear from the beginning that defeat is part of the consequences when you are involved in this activity.

Of course, this causes bad emotions, moreover, gambling can leave a player without money, who has been saving it for years, but the player himself is responsible for this, so there is no need to look for someone to blame except yourself. Other feelings arise, such as anger, so I am not surprised that after losing, players can write on the Internet that the casino is terrible and other things that did not actually happen to him, just to denigrate him. This is something like a protective reaction of the body to the stress of losing.

It is very important for gamblers to control their emotions and control themselves. Otherwise, gambling will seem like a scam to us. If we cannot control ourselves, we will easily lose a lot of money in gambling. There is a possibility of winning money in gambling, but the possibility of losing money is more if we are not experienced enough. We must follow some rules. If we become addicted to gambling, we will definitely keep losing money unless we are very lucky.

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 think gambling becomes a scam if we play only to win money, or if we consider gambling as a job... So when we lose, we will have to find something to blame... and of course, it will be (usually) the house. Gambling is a form of entertainment to get rid of boredom. However, scams can occur in gambling, such as rigged games or fraudulent platforms. That is why gambling responsibly and choosing reputable establishments with a license number are key elements to minimize risks.

Well I'm not so proud about gambling but i'll love to say it countless times that gambling is not a scam.However, it's the unregulated and unregistered casinos that operate without licenses and promiscuously manipulate games & players and also rip them of their chances of winning.
Over the years,there have recorded and staged excess scams and fraudulent activities that has replaced gambling as a scam space.Whereby this call for an effort to be wary of unreliable and deceitful gambling operators,especially the ones with unrealistic promises of high winnings/cashouts.

[LUCKMCFLY]

If we are a person who commit to spend our money in the right way, it won't be so difficult. Something we must always do is to discipline and stick with our commitment. If we have make certain allocation for main necessities and for gambling, we don't break the allocation. We only use the money that we already allocated for gambling, kindly stop playing gambling when the allocation is over. We also must remember that we never try to take a loan because it is not the right way in gambling. If we can do this constantly, I think it won't be difficult to make some limitation in gambling. Just make it to be our habit for limiting the funds for gambling purposes.

Yes, that is what I have always said and I could sum it up as "Spend only the money that you are willing to lose.

Regarding loans, I also agree, you should not lend money to go play in a casino or make sports bets, you have to find a way to lend money as a last option and not for this, but for urgent, emergencies that we do not have the money for at the time but considering that you have to have the corresponding payment capacity, so as not to look bad with the person who does not want to help with the loan.

Exactly you where the one who decided to gamble with your hard earn money no one forced you to gamble, that's why they kept telling you guys to always gamble wisely by using amount of money you can easily Risk ( though no one is happy to lose no matter small the amount may seems). But risking that you can easily Risk is far more better than go all in with money that should have been use for something better even when you endup with a win there where still a chances of you losing .

So long nobody out a gun on your head, nobody sent you a malicious link and pretend and was able to take money from you, gambling is never a scam. It's simple tricks of risk to get more money, that's how gambling work. You just have to either adapt to it or you don't but there is nothing a person can do with gambling and thinks it's scam unless you win money but they refused to pay you, or close your accounts for no reasons or just hate comments.

If you gamble and you lost, know it's your loss and if you gamble and you win, then it's your win, there are no two ways to eat and beside, gambling didn't start today, it started way back before out the internet came but some of these things has been digitalized where it's more easy and accessible for everyone but not everyone is playing the safety when it comes to gambling, some people don't have self control most especially when they see their favorite game.

anyone who cannot gamble with what it can afford to lose that person will continue to complain about gambling and the person will decide to say that gambling is a scam why gambling is not a scam, some persons does not understand the basic things of gambling and that is why they always locks their money during the process of gambling you cannot gamble with all your money you cannot gamble with whatever you have said you will Gamble with the money that is common for you so that whenever you lose it do not affect neither your business or your family.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Indeed, if you don't have that proper control you may lose everything even it's not intend to be use for your gambling, I guess the best way is just deposit the amount you can afford to let go and let the entertainment part be carry his way and not to exceed to from your set budget, you'll start pointing fingers when you lose a huge amount.

It's not a scam if you are doing it accordingly but when you start exceeding from how you percept things then it's start additional problem to the point that it will be a regretful experienced..

That is indeed the best choice but on the other hand this also needs self-control in the end because even though from the beginning we try to suppress and set the deposit amount as much as we are ready to lose but in some moments when we feel defeat in the end the fortress that we have tried to build will sometimes be broken because of the ambition we have.

Gambling is complicated, when we lose even a little bit of self-control we do then everything will destroy ourselves, previously on several occasions I always felt this way where I was very difficult to control myself when I felt defeat which ultimately led to regret because it actually lost all the money that I did not even allocate for gambling but over time there is certainly an experience that serves as one of the other encouragements to be more able to limit ourselves because if this is always done then consciously or not we actually destroy ourselves slowly.

Exactly, bets would be a scam if your funds are frozen without reason, if you win and your bet disappears, if the game is rigged, or if it pays less than it should—it could be considered a scam. However, I don't fully agree with the notion of "nobody put a gun to your head," because it confuses a scam with theft. Scams are deceitful situations where people fall victim innocently.

Gambling is like an entertainment place, where when we want to try a certain ride to test our adrenaline and get pleasure from the ride, we have to spend money to pay for tickets, so too with gambling, where to get pleasure in gambling, we have to spend a little money that we have.

What do you mean by the word equivalent here? It means that it is clear that from the beginning in general everyone must gamble with money from their hard work, you yourself decide to gamble and there is no coercion or even threats from anyone including the casino that tells you to get involved in gambling, so of course it doesn't make sense if you think that the casino has cheated you just because you experience a loss with a possibly quite large amount.

Casinos never force their visitors to gamble, or force their visitors to spend more money in gambling. In other words, it all depends on our perspective and control over gambling itself.

On the other hand, it is common knowledge that the chances of winning in gambling are always smaller than the chances of losing. So, I think only fools spend more money in gambling in the hope of making a profit, they really don't understand how the gambling system works.

Is Gambling with your hard earned money Worth it because I have come to the conclusion that gambling is a scam

Gambling is not a scam, but a game that you can play at your leisure time for fun , it's also being used for entertainment, in gambling  you have an idea of what you are going to achieve or the outcome of the game,either winning or losing. Some of the gambling sites are controlled by some government agencies . When you say scam, it means that all your result will be is to win big, you will never lose, it can only be a scam, if you see it that way.

[mamesso]

Exactly, bets would be a scam if your funds are frozen without reason, if you win and your bet disappears, if the game is rigged, or if it pays less than it should—it could be considered a scam.

This can be easily control by using a trusted gambling site. I can say this isn't common. And if it happens, the gambler most have been tricked to their gambling site with their fake promotions.

There are many trusted sites that advertise their platforms on this forum. Gamblers can choose one of them to prevent falling into the trap of fraudsters who exploit online gambling platforms such as bonus abuse, affiliate fraud, unfair practices, money laundering and user data security.
Yes, there are many gamblers who still become victims due to choosing the wrong platform, this is also not common because it is done by some people who are only looking for personal gain by harming others.

[Jody.Drummer]

Setting the amount to be allocated can be done by everyone, but maintaining it is the point of difficulty, I am sure everyone does not want to experience big losses in gambling but consciously or unconsciously sometimes they forget the limits that they should obey until what they do is gamble beyond reasonable limits. And with someone who does not have self-control, this allows them to be easily provoked by their emotions, it is not strange if they say gambling is a scam because they cannot accept the defeat that occurs. Gambling is basically a means of entertainment in the form of a game, it's just that this is the seriousness of some people who do it, of course, those who have the goal of being able to get profit from gambling continuously, this is ridiculous because there is no victory that can be obtained continuously.

And everyone should have in mind things that you said about gambling should not be means to make profit. If they forget that there is bigger risk of big losses.

I am sure that there are more casinos that cheat and those that don't cheat, it's just that at this time there are many casinos operating so we have to be smart in choosing a trusted casino and maybe it can be seen from the reputation of the casino itself which is good or not, although it can be manipulated but at least we have to have good accuracy because it is also for our own comfort when gambling later. Many people who experience defeat and look for new casinos this can make them find a casino that cheats, and lucky for those who stick with one casino that has made them comfortable.
And actually gambling itself is not a fraud, the number of people who experience defeat from gambling is a natural thing because this is a business so casinos will not easily give victory to their visitors. Those who conclude that gambling is a fraud are those who misunderstand gambling.
