Dedicating life on game of probability

[Sticky Bomb]

He should try to avoid them at all costs and not readily mingle with them because bad habits are contagious.

I didn't refer him to avoid them, those habits can be contagious if you don't know your self and easily influenced. I won't stop being friends or avoid people i have a relationship with because of gambling addiction, many of us do have friends with bad habits that we do not partake in, as a friend who have the knowledge about gambling, you can actually lecture them on how to heal from addiction.

True.. But we were not talking about friends in the first place, at least OP clearly stated they are people he knows and not his friends, so I was advising against his getting involved with them so as to further preserve his good habits.

When it comes to friends, it is important one reduces his association with them so as to reduce his exposure to their bad characters. Trust me, the more you readily associate with them, the more their bad habits looks attractive to you irrespective of your restraint, I've had a friend that detested gambling but he always sticks around me and one day he attempted it reluctantly. Today he gambles regularly, even more than myself that taught him.

Gambling is a game of luck and nothing can be more certain than the fact that the income will be steady. This is the reason why it is highly dangerous to live on gambling. Stories about big wins attract many people and make them believe that they can recount it day by day, yet they do not pay enough attention to the prevalence of losses. Even experienced gamblers with knowledge of odds and bankroll management are not able to wield complete control of odds. Once one begins gambling with the aim of making money on a daily basis, the pressure and emotions tend to take control of them thereby making poor decisions. As a matter of fact, gambling is exactly to be taken as entertainment rather than a means of generating income and making a living.

The fact is that, no casino will show you their customere huge losses. Neither, will any gambler that hits the jackpot will show you his own losses before he became lucky. Assuming, everyone that want to take gambling as a means of survival can see all these losses, I don't think they will make such decisions.

We only see big wins and people who were lucky to hit the jackpot but do you know how many gamblers that are losing big daily
The figure is far higher than those winning big. Gambling is for fun, the early a gambler understands this, the better for him.

They should change that mindset and leave gambling and they must know that gambling is designed for fun and not as sources of income so they will not treat gambling a work. If they win, that is a bonus but if they lose, they should accept and not chase the win.

They must realize that dedicating life on game of probability will not gives much result. They can lose everything if they still insist doing that so they must search for other ways to make money and not gamble.

Its not as easy as you are saying, because many gamblers are really finding it difficult to gamble with the idea of not becoming rich through it but in most cases, i think why most gamblers are unable or finds it difficult to gamble responsibly is because they've taken gambling to be their only means of survival. That is why, no matter how the advised they hear or receive, they will never adhere to it, as they have already make up that worst comes go worst, they will still stand by.

I concur that the gambling attitude is very critical. It is extremely difficult to gamble responsibly when we start to consider gambling one of the primary incomes, as every defeat will be perceived as a serious issue, but not a part of the game. Gambling is a matter of chance and no gambler can do anything to determine the results in the long run. This is the reason why it is to be regarded as entertainment but not a profession. This might not be accepted by many gamblers since they are optimistic of getting rich as a result of it. Its dependence on gambling to survive however can be more costly. One should always have a sure way of making an income and gambling should be considered a leisure activity.

We can give any interpretation to how we Gamble, but we must always recall that it is a game of probability and there is no certainty in any game we play that makes us to have confidence of winning, if you are not able to take the risk to gamble, then we should not risk our life as well on it, we must be a gambler that have an understanding of what is involved to enjoy every time we are gambling.

Let interpretation as chosen to be given be that if a responsible gambling context because at the end of it all we're only spending our time and funds on something that it's outcome is beyond our control with a probability that might not favour you even after a dozen streaks. In most cases I would be questioning myself or rather contemplating why many gamblers don't just understand it that every risk to be taken must be what wouldn't affect us emotionally should we lose it.

You are completely correct in the fact that gambling is basically a game of chance and there is no technique that can eliminate uncertainty to a hundred percent. This gets lost on many players and they begin to think they are in control of the outcome as the winning streak is on. As a matter of fact, all betting is independent, and the outcome may vary anytime. That is why gambling with your entire life or monetary budget is quite risky. The responsible gamblers have to see it as entertainment and not as a source of income. It is just important not to gamble with the money that is not to be lost successfully and to keep your emotions under control. Probability also ensures that players maintain sanity and does not lead them to make life-destroying decisions.

Unlike a job where you know you are going to make some money out of your time, gambling is made in a way that, over time you will lose few cents of every dollar you will bet and as such, it is trap to any person who needs to make living off of it.
Since tough times leave people without extra savings to depend on, one bad run can entirely clear them of all the money to continue living, having no way to pay for at least something to eat or home to live in. Other than building money slowly with small, steady wins over long time, gamblers tend to seek miracle win with almost no chance of happening that will cost them tax on hope that stops them from escaping same loop. The reason why you fear gambling is actually smart survival instinct as it also knows that you cannot build steady life on game that is created to make sure you lose.

Yeah, in a normal sense, gambling shouldn't be considered to be something that is not meant to be, which is to have the perspective about it to serve as a means of survival or a place where one can earn income, and having this misconceptions about gambling usually cause more of harm than good in their lives of the gamblers. And that is why it will be of best to treat gambling as game of entertainment, as it will support in preventing them from disasters of irresponsible gambling.

I still don't understand why some people continue to believe that gambling is the right way to make money. If you're lucky, you might get lucky once or twice, but believing it can provide a steady income seems like a foolish idea. Apparently, even if people have that instinct, they ignore it. Well, to be more precise, some people, because those who actually live by that philosophy are a very small minority.

In any case, it should not be treated as a source of income because there's no uncertainty in this activity. And gamblers already know that. It just that they are hard headed to face the reality in gambling. So if you don't want to have a headache, just treat this as just side activity where you can have your entertainment so to speak.

Yes, gambling shouldn't be more than having fun because it's not possible to get rich quick through gambling yet they won't do it responsibly. To be honest some gamblers are not trying because I don't know if they want to change the outcome of the game because it's obvious that losing is part of the game, still they wouldn't want to play wisely. Of course treating gambling as a way to have fun than source of income is the best way to prevent yourself from getting addicted to gambling.

It's only jobless person that will say that gambling is the right way to make money, gambling is something that has to do with a prediction, and prediction is all about something you're not sure of, and you're suspecting if it go according to what your wish or not, so with such guessing, is not the right way to make money, gambling is all about risk, so it's not an easy source of making money because you dont know if your prediction will be real or not.

People will continue to believe that as long as they keep on reading stories of people who are also able to be living their dream life from gambling winnings, even if they don't win from their own side regularly, they still believe there is something they are not doing right; if they continue, they can still make it happen, but those are just them living in a dream world because the chances of making such a thing come to reality are always very slim.

Casino bonuses and max win tease on their promotional ads is frequently the reason why most of gambler are encouraged to gamble.

Stories about winning is very rare to read especially the legit story since many are using fake story just for promotion.

Casino frequently offers welcome back bonus and other exclusive bonus on each player just to attract them to play because once they already have the idea of potential profit they can easily gamble back again.

And the more they keep on going and approaching gambling with such a mindset, they’ll only spend or should I say waste their time chasing a dream that might just never come true because no matter how much research and improvement one does on himself or his strategy, the chances of actually cracking a strategy that’ll make them start living the same dream is almost zero because they’ll become bankrupt first before they succeed in that dream.
