I wouldn't fall for any trap this year.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

I wounder why some people still want to continue their old gambling life style even in this new year,  this morning I was at home preparing for service when one of neighbor that is into betting stuff came to me trying to persuade me into playing a game that it is a sure banger and that if I will be bold enough to invest big in it I will find him and thank him later.

I have fell victim of a something similar like that not anymore will I do such, I told him to take it away that am not interested that if he is that sure of the game why not he consider giving it a trial instead of imposing it on me. So mate, have you ever been tempted in such manner before and how were you able to overcome it?

There is absolutely no temptation there, you either play it or leave it, because he only persuaded you into staking on the game simply because he thought his prediction might work, but didn't force you, which means as a gambler, it's always wise and certain to gamble only what you can afford to lose, rather than lose what you couldn't afford, simply because you thought the game someone gave you was 100% sure bet, because nothing of such exists. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with continue gambling in the new year if you had really been a gambler, inasmuch as you gamble responsibly and stick to what you can always afford, rather than give up entirely.

Some people sincerely believe that gambling will make them rich, and as a rule, such gamblers eventually become addicted to gambling. Understanding all the risks faced by the players, including the loss of money, we must decide on our own whether we should accept such offers or not.

We need to be more cautious in today's deceptive world, where there are many who want to rip us off in times of capitalism. It's better to start a business than to lose money in it, hoping that luck will inevitably come our way at some point. And even if that doesn't happen and we do start gambling, it's better to simply learn self-control so as not to end up at the bottom and blame everything and everyone but ourselves. Avoiding traps is a skill that must be learned, and I think everyone can do it.

No, I haven't been encouraged to gamble out of my wish. If the pressure is high, I will advise the person to stake it themselves or even call their relative to, but if it's that real, it won't even get to me. People hide truthful updates. Regardless, there's no guarantee in betting. And for such a person to be like that, he must be an addict trying to bring in more people to his loss. You can be a victim too. Do not let people's opinions get to you.

[Agbe]

That is normal thing among gamblers and I like the way you rejected the offer. That should be a personal decision. Gambling is luck and if he knew that the game was a sure game, he would used his own money to bet. Or let say he bet but didn't he win the game. This days, games that we thought would make us to win big were the ones cutting our tickets so me too I don't believe on those sure games again. If someone bring sure games to me this year, I will have to cross check the games. If the two teams are all strong teams, aha. Error I won't bet on such game.

It makes perfect sense not to let pressure from others influence you; that's really important. But when someone insists or tries to bring in more people, it becomes a warning sign. It's not always malicious, but the risk ends up being the same.

It's always good to follow your own path, your own will too.

your neighbor still has an outdated gambling mindset, people would actually think he cares but he just wants you to stake with your money to get something of you because he has no money to gamble. It is good that you were able to spot the immaturity and low-level stunt he tried to pull. As gamblers we must learn from our previous mistakes and try not to repeat them, this is where maturity comes in

Gambling traps are more likely to befall inexperienced and naive players, or even beginners. All these thoughts and obsessions about an almost guaranteed win are almost 100% a trap for any player's financial stability. In sports betting, I would still believe that there are high chances of any outcome, although even then I would be very skeptical. But a high probability of an outcome doesn't mean we should lose our common sense and sacrifice our well-being. If you want to place a bet, it's best to limit it to a small percentage of your total bankroll.

Perhaps I'm just incredibly lucky. No one I know has ever tempted me to gamble. 🙋

I think you were absolutely right when you told your neighbor that if he's absolutely certain of winning this gamble, what's stopping him from placing his bet and keeping all the winnings for himself? If you think about it, the psychological motivation behind your neighbor's actions isn't very clear. Why does he care about your financial well-being? Does he treat you so well? All of this, in my opinion, seems highly questionable...

Furthermore, it's worth noting that there are no absolute winning combinations. If your neighbor believes that there are sports bets that guarantee winning, it means they understand nothing about gambling. Any bet simply represents a certain probability of a positive outcome (winning). Sometimes this probability can be higher, sometimes lower. However, winning is never guaranteed.  💁

Returning to your neighbor... There's a scam where the victim is lured into a game with an unpredictable outcome. If the victim loses, the scammer simply disappears. And if the victim wins, the scammer insists they were the one who told the victim the winning combination and now deserves a cash reward. This is how scammers make money off of naive people.

The funny thing is that such characters who know how to make money and have very valuable information often don't have the money to place a bet themselves. That's the irony. And even if you win following their advice, they will demand half of the winnings, but for some reason they are never willing to share the losses.You should never listen to such chatterboxes. If they can't help themselves, they're unlikely to be able to help others.

People will always try and tempt you with whatever it is that they are currently passionate about. But that does not make it a good thing. It just means that the person believes it is a good thing. I doubt they actually wanted to put you into some kind of trap.

It is important to have a personal filter in your own mind about things like this, so that it is not so easy to become enticed.

What kind of game did your neighbor want you to join?

Yeah right, that's the funny part of it especially if the person someone who's close to you, they demand percentage when the bet wins but never shared any amount in placing your bet, so whatever happen it's always them who got compensated, better to play on your own and take the full responsiblities of your action, win or lose it's only you who will suffer or will enjoy the benefits.

Gambling always depends on how you treat things out best to entrust your money with your own knowledge and skills.

It is great that you have not fall on any trap this year but at the same time, it should be considered that we have passed only a few days we have to wait to  move more time. If you can stay away for a long time, then it can be considered that you have not fall on any trap.

The idea of gambling to become rich is a poor mindset and I hope people are going to stop that idea. People that are looking for ways to become rich through gambling are really taking a serious risk which can not mix up at all.
Gambling should be fun and less frequent for those who knows that becoming rich through gambling can be nearly impossible.

Gambling to become rich isn't ordinary a poor mindset but a believe for some poor lazy dude. No matter how good you are at analysing matches, you shouldn't conclude on making it a source of your daily income. Doing such make you prone to being addicted easily and this may cost you more money than usual as you will always want to pursue your loses when it' occurs.

Perhaps there is another scenario here, and the fact that his neighbor himself lost a lot of money gambling, and now he is trying to lure all his friends and acquaintances so that they, like him, lose a lot of money, and his conscience was not so heavy. after all, then he will be able to say that "look how much they lost. I haven't played that much, so my situation isn't that dire." This phenomenon is very common among gamblers when they try to lure their entire social circle into gambling.
Although this does not improve the financial situation of such initiators in any way. But as a fact, for some reason, it eases the human conscience.

You are right, his surpose neighbor was just trying to play on his intelligent perhaps since him his self didn't have the required money to play he was just trying to play a smart one on him by misleading him to risk his hard earned money on it so if things eventually work well he will start demanding his own share out of the it but if things didn't work only the guy that was persuaded to play will bear the lost. But I was so impressed how the surpose guy knows the fowl play and over comes it.

Gamble is a game of will and not something someone will start forcing it on you , however as a wise or smart gambling always ensure you are responsible for every actions you take because their are people that are out claiming to be a friend but will stop at nothing till you go down.

Yeah he's right, that's not caring, i see that as leading someone to their doom iin the guise of being caring, this is 2026 and people shoukd realise that there's no such thing like a sure bet, bettors and only make their predictions and hope on luck. I've made such mistake of taking bet codes with claims of being sure from friends in the past and regretted it and I've learnt from past experience so I'm not going to be fooled into that anymore especially in 2026. His neighbor didn't even ask him to bet with what he can afford to lose but to bet big on something that depends on luck, that's a bad advise, which is why i said it's "leading someone to their doom".

The year is just getting started, and it is too soon to consider oneself as someone who has been able to escape the trap of gambling this year. The OP needs to give him- or herself time, like 5 months and above, track his or her gambling habit again, and reconfirm if they have truly been on the right track or have fallen into the same thing they consider to have escaped.

Doing such make you prone to being addicted easily and this may cost you more money than usual as you will always want to pursue your loses when it' occurs.

On the time or moment that you would be thinking that gambling could make you rich then you are just that starting on trying out to detroy your finances. Why? once you do have this kind of mentality then it would that force you to play on which this is something that would be that hard to resist specially if you do know that you do have money to play on. Addiction is something that would be that so hard to control on which it will be needing up that extreme will and moderation specially into your emotion and on what you do think. When someone comes and asks you to play with them then its up to you whether you would be that agreeing and go along with them or just simply try to reject or just avoid as much as possible if you are that wanting to have that control. Its not a trap because there are people specially your friends would be tending to asks you to play along with them.

Its not that they will be trying out to make you addicted but rather it is just that some sort of compliment on asking to play with them or go along with them but there's no intentional on messing up your life with. It is just that your decisions what make things worst.
