Stay away from gambling before it's too late.

[Ultegra134]

One of the reasons someone gets involved in something means they like it, or at least they could come because of the urge of curiosity in themselves especially after seeing the big wins achieved by other people which in the end the experiment of the urge of curiosity might lead them into a long-term gambling especially when they can't control themselves at all, so it doesn't mean someone intentionally destroys their own life because after all, surely everyone will never want to experience a slump in their life. So what I believe is that the slump and irresponsible gambling might happen because it started with an experiment without proper preparation and also without the right understanding and knowledge about what and how gambling really is.

Usually, the reason people get involved is money. They saw or heard someone winning a large amount, and they believe they can also do it themselves, which is something I don't doubt, but it doesn't always go your way. This is the reality they don't understand before getting involved, nobody is thinking the possibility of losing when starting out. Thus, they end up losing their hard-earned money. Doesn't necessarily have to do much with experience, but usually someone who's more experienced is more responsible than a newbie who's often impulsive with his decisions.

Sometimes this happens as a result of too much ambition and confidence that on some occasions we ignore the rationality that gambling is one of the ways that is indeed very risky if the goal is to make finances bigger instantly.

This is just a game and we must realize that in the end defeat has the biggest role in gambling that is done compared to victory but because of our too great ambition and focus only hopes for victory without caring about defeat or the worst that happens makes a lot of people who are trapped in their own thought patterns.

Gambling is not wrong because in the end this depends on everyone's perception and thinking, it's just that in this case what is wrong is that they gamble but forget the basics that we must take care of, especially for financial management and realize that gambling is not one of the schemes to earn income continuously.

Unrealistic expectations and overconfidence are the baseline for disaster in gambling. Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, people overlook the negative consequences it may have, which makes me wonder, What makes them so confident that they'll be the ones who win? Gambling should be for entertainment purposes, not a financial or investment plan. Although the money-making possibilities are endless, it's extremely important to be self-conscious with your moves and set clear boundaries and a budget. Risking more than you can afford to lose is the recipe for disaster.

Gambling isn't wrong or evil, provided that you have a mind over your head. Losing control is something you're in control of and at fault for.

Being too ambitious in gambling is like walking on a road full of thorns, it is a wrong place to put confidence because the chances of failing is very high, it is also not good for the mind, I guess this is why the bible speaks against gambling, it mess up the mind and put one in a shadow with no single spark of light in sight, one needs to be very careful with gambling.
The fault is not the gambling but the people who went too deep believing that gambling is their way out of poverty, even those who got lucky will not believe in any hard work but their magical self that gambling still have something good for them, this is how few people lost everything back to gambling after a huge win.
Simple understanding is all they lack, gambling is all luck, believe anything else at your own risk.

You should stay away from gambling because it's all a real lie, to hell with gambling and the like. to satoshi thank you for making all the new buzz. if you are still in this world I'm sure you will make another breakthrough for many people who are addicted to gambling. because I think gambling is the worst substance than drugs. but it seems like you are gone, and I will also catch up with you if I don't get a way out from the gambling trap that ruined my finances until I'm deeply in debt.

I try to assume based on the content of this post it seems that you have lost a lot from the gambling you do, I hope you can get back up and live your day without regret. If I am wrong in interpreting your post, please understand. By the way, it is not something strange for us, to hear, read or watch many people who are frustrated with their defeat from gambling. I can understand it, we have our own stories from gambling. I think experience will provide a lot of new understanding related to gambling, especially where we are in a situation like being caught in a gambling trap that has a bad impact on all aspects of life. If you are indeed in a difficult situation, allow me to share with you, try to find free time in your solitude. Think clearly, and do it to fix it again. Remember gambling is not a shortcut to getting rich, because there are many things that we will bet if we focus too much on making money in each session. If you can change your perspective on gambling, especially just to fill your free time or have fun, then you will not easily get caught back in a difficult situation.

Gambling isn't wrong or evil, provided that you have a mind over your head. Losing control is something you're in control of and at fault for.

gambling will be wrong or evil when gamblers consider gambling as a way to make money, especially if gambling is finally done regularly without considering the gambler's financial condition.
for people who have just tried gambling and have not played casino games too far, it is better not to gamble if they are unable to control their minds to stay clear. if something goes bad because of our own mistakes in the gambling activities we do, never blame the casino. they never force gamblers to continue betting even though their money is gone.

Usually. That is true.
When a person hears someone wins a game and has a big multiplier win, that could encourage them to do the same and try it out. It's a human reaction and it's difficult to stop it. Greed will sometimes overcome us because we envy the people who received that kind of money even though we think we are better than them.
It's not right but still, it could invite a new gambler and that means he could also be a victim of an unintentional advertising.

You are the ones who do make your own fate when it comes to gambling on which at the moment or time that you do make yourself having that kind of intent about getting rich with it, then it will really be always reflect out on the actions that you are making with gambling. On the time or moment that you do have those kind of intention towards gambling on which making it as a source of income or making money then you are really that making up some possible issues on which might arise later on. Be careful on what are the actions that you are making because on the moment that you do put up yourself on such problem.
Getting out of addiction is something which is really that hard to overcome or something that getting out of it will really be hard.

Sorry for the bad experience in gambling. But it is only those who have taken gambling as their center of income and take it as a daily participating activity are always disappointed in gambling but if you gambling for average and not to the addicted gamble then you wouldn't have that bad experience.
And you don't have to compare gambling with investment and if anyone likes investment he will go that if it is gambling then it is fine and the two can go with Pari-passu.

Yes, exactly I agree with you that gambling is not bad and what is bad is the way or approach that gamblers have which indirectly leads them to various problems and setbacks especially in terms of their finances, all bad approaches to gambling must always be triggered by the intention and purpose of making money while on the other hand it is clear that gambling is not a place to make money and that is why gamblers who come with that goal actually lose a lot of money and experience a setback instead of getting a lot of money as expected.

On the other hand, yes, you have a pretty good suggestion, my friend, that if for example they are still quite new to gambling and find it difficult to control themselves and their minds, then it is much better not to get involved in gambling or stop, but the problem is that everyone has their own right to choose, meaning that maybe we can only say and advise them to first understand and know about what and how gambling really is.

[vs2014]

Gambling involves risk, so bettors always blame themselves. No one forces you to gamble so you have to enjoy the result of winning or losing. So just because you lose a lot in gambling doesn't mean you have to ruin its reputation. You did it of your own free will and you are ready to take the consequences win or lose. Since you don't have patience it is not necessary to get involved in the gambling realm. Gambling is a process of losing money but anyone who has a lot of money can take it as entertainment.

everyone has the right to decide whether to continue gambling or not. but with a situation that may be quite difficult for a beginner, they should be able to think logically that they have to make the right decision.
I'm not sure gamblers will come to someone for gambling advice on the mistakes they made when starting gambling. they have to use their common sense, if they can't then we have to say welcome to beginner gamblers in the circle of gambling addiction.

[Maslate]

Gambling involves risk, so bettors always blame themselves.

In this case, it’s different because the OP is blaming gambling for his own mistake, lol. It’s kind of funny, but also a bit ridiculous. Actually, I’ve read a similar scam accusation before, not exactly the same situation, but kind of related. It was about a gambler who requested self-exclusion from a casino because he admitted he was addicted.

Later, he asked the casino to unlock his account, went back to gambling, and lost money. In the end, he blamed the casino for approving his request, even though he was the one who wanted to gamble again. See, people just love pointing fingers at casinos instead of owning up to their own mistakes.

[irsykes]

gambling does not need to be avoided, what needs to be avoided is only the big ambition of hoping to win. the mistake that often occurs is only the person who plays gambling, not the gambling place. if playing gambling can control emotions, not carried away by the flow of ambition, maybe you won't lose everything. it all depends on how people respond to betting, for example if you bet enough, have a special allocation for betting, maybe everything will be under control

[ethereumhunter]

That depend on how people treat gambling because if people know how to use gambling with right, they will not lose much money. But many people are losing their money because they have intention to make money from winning the games so they will not aware that gambling can makes them lose too much money. Playing gambling needs a good self control to avoids any problem such as losing their money, gambling addiction, or other things that can occurs. That is why before we playing gambling, we must know that gambling is just for enjoying our spare time and have fun with some limits money. That will prevent us from losing too much money.

[crwth]

In some ways, yes, I do believe that gambling could be worse because you can become so desperate that you would do unnecessary and unlawful things that might ruin your life forever. I know a lot of stories that have turned into nightmares of people just because of it, and acting upon it the best way should be done and be controlled so it wouldn’t be life-changing.

I believe that stories that have made people millionaires should not be told just because they give too much hope to gambling addicts, I think.

Everything has positive and negative side, we use mobile phone some people use this mobile phone for bad work and some people use this mobile phone for good work. That is, these things depend on me how I use the technology. There are pros and cons to gambling, perhaps the pros and cons outweigh the pros, but there are many gamblers who use their brains and succeed in gambling. 
The first and most important condition of gambling is that there is no excessive greed and also one cannot gamble without knowing about gambling. If you don't have self control then it is better to avoid gambling because every gambler will become addicted to gambling without self control. And being addicted to gambling is never good for a man.

We all carefully consider our financial capabilities and in the end still make the irrational decision to participate because gambling is a two-way traffic, it still allows people with low finances to become stronger but of course, these are rumors passed by many people, the reality is a mixed result, the smooth road is not open to either the veteran or the casual, even if the smooth road is taken it will still branch off into the area of ​​failure. Soberness is never enough in gambling, cleverly avoiding will be less thinking about the scenarios behind, once playing, there are too many things to handle and decisions are difficult to be complete and perfect.

What is worth asking is, why do people want to play these activities? What are they looking for, is it just for fun? or there is something they are looking for in this activity. It's impossible for someone to just throw away their money.

The bookie knows very well how he plays on the emotions of each player. Of course he gave them the bait first, that's where every player fell into his trap. If it's just for fun, why not do positive things that don't endanger your finances.

Gambling in moderation isn't bad, as long as you have a mind over your head and you're keeping track of how much you're spending and you much you're earning. It's not surprising to see that newbies are often overwhelmed, both by gambling and its options but also regarding its immense probabilities. The issue is that the success stories are far less than the failed ones, people often underestimate how easy it is to lose your entire salary if you're not careful enough.

I understand the OP's frustration but lashing out here telling everyone to stop what they're doing just because it failed on him or because he lacked the self-control is of no use.
