Do you think that gambling has become more difficult than before!

[Makus]

After reading the subject I thought you were going to talk about how difficult it has become to win when gambling because that is what it seemed like the context was all about but when reading through it that wasn't the message you were passing. First of all, I would say that this isn't a general thing, not everyone experiences this sort of hardship when it comes to gambling and I think that even in olden days there are lots of people that got dependent on gambling but the only difference between that time and now is that there is an increase in this because gambling has become evolved and has been made easier due to technological advancements. Before modern times if they had access to online casinos I'm sure there wouldn't be much difference between that time and now, easy accessibility to gambling is the main reason why we have more people that are addicted to gambling in contemporary times.

"We"? When i saw where you said we now see gambling as a quick means of getting money, my thought was "who and you" you should speak for yourself not generalising cause nothing is guaranteed in gambling, you try your luck and either lose or win so if someone put their mind into playing and getting money you could end up disappointed on your first attempt.

Although the number of gamblers increased due to the effect of the media and internet but nothing changed in terms of being difficult than before. It now more easier for one to gamble than before but luck still remain the major factor that determines whether a gambler win or lose.

Nowadays we have seen gambling to be the next place of getting quick financial relief or as a source of additional income where people do not longer care about the entertainment purposes anymore. In facts it is now like people are that becoming impatient with gambling and they do not see the benefits of gambling instead they are now channeling their focused on what amounts they could be making through gambling which is making them to lose concentration.

Comparing gambling nowadays and to the old days times you would see that people barely cry about addiction but are fully enjoying the entertainment purposes where things were very less common and inflation becoming also lesser than today, but since inflation has also increased people around are sourcing for alternative to make sure that they meet to their daily and family needs which is making them or to enjoy the real entertainment that gambling carries.

Do you think that, if the hand of time are to be turned back thing would be normal and gambling addiction wouldn’t had been this common? Of course I am having this mixed feeling that the reason why most people are falling into addiction is because of the lack of employment opportunities and couples with the inflation rate which they are trying to meet up with their and standard ways of life and living.

Gambling addiction was always the problem. The way this whole process is designed, is very addictive for our brain. You can double the amount of money in a second, which is a huge dopamine hit for the brain and you know, our brain always seeks dopamine and when you get that rush from gambling, you automatically become addicted to gambling, the way people become addicted to drugs, both things release lots of dopamine in our brain.

One of the biggest difference between modern day and old day, when it comes to gambling, is that today gambling is extremely easily available for everyone. All you need is a smartphone or a computer and you can gamble online, without leaving your home, while laying on the sofa. That's why more and more people are addicted to gambling today and that's why this topic became so active.

“We” means that I’m included. I don’t agree because it’s not everyone, but that’s what you experience with the gambling you do yourself. Even if there are those who turn to gambling as a way to get quick financial help, it means that person is inexperienced and doesn’t fully understand gambling itself.
It’s rarely possible to exercise self-control when you’re losing—not that no one can do it, but losing a lot of money pushes people to their psychological limits, causing them to get angry and experience other emotional reactions.
The algorithms behind gambling may not have changed much over time. It’s just that emotionally, it’s difficult because the odds of losing are higher.

Not all gamble because they have financial needs. I see a lot of good-looking cars that are parked here near us that will gamble at a cockpit, which is also near us. Most of them have the money, and I don't think they are gambling because of it. It's the thrill that they are looking for because some people just like to see those chickens fighting.

If it's difficult to win, yes, because there is now a system when you play online gambling. It's not like in the past where gambling is a player to player which means it can always be a 50-50 percent chance. Well, the thing is, you could always choose not to gamble. That way, you will not lose, and you will never find out how difficult it is to win against the house.

That's right, not everybody takes gambling as a means to make quick money, as some people follow the rule of gambling within their budget which helps them set limits to their gambling habits. However, there are some people that believe that gambling is all about skills and strategy but that doesn't mean there aren't other people that are aware that luck plays a crucial role for one to sustain winnings for a long streak and that helps them to avoid reckless gambling. So, the earlier one understands that the importance of luck the better it is for them.

In the past, people with high incomes used to visit casinos to spend money for the sheer pleasure of it.
Nowadays, however, the goal is to make a fortune quickly. Many people go hoping to turn a small amount of money into a large sum, only to end up losing everything they had at the casino.
The nature of gambling is such that very few people actually make money. I have never met anyone who made a fortune through gambling and built up significant wealth.
Access to casinos is very easy these days. You don't need to go to a hotel to find one; there are countless online sites where you can very easily lose your money.

[KiaKia]

I don't notice any difference, it has always been that same experience since I've been gambling, some times you get lucky out of nowhere and it can go like that for few days, after you will be embraced with losses left and right.

Winning always happens less than losing, it has always been like this from the day I start gambling, which is why I don't take gambling too serious like it's my source of income.

There are better things to do when you want to make money and if you want to have fun with money you can do gambling, don't forget that no one will hold casinos responsible for losing your own money,

Except you haven't being attentive to majority of the topics that are being raided in the gambling discussion section otherwise you would have known that the topics on gambling addiction has being on the massive than any other discussions in that board.

The go-to gambling for either entertainment or profit is a matter of personal choice. There has being no difference between yesteryears and today on the issue about rising gambling addiction and the increment in the number of people picking interest to gamble is due to the avalanche of publicity with the help of the internet and technology, now any person can sit at the comfort of their home gamble as they wish without having to walk into a physical gambling shop as it used to be.

[Bitcoin-Forever]

There is no difficulty in gambling once you play the game of your choice you have ability for, remember gambling is entertainment and anything that has to do with playing should come with and understanding that we are truly in for that, you choose the game of your choice and you play it, stake accordingly and Gamble with caution, don't expect winning as you are playing because you are most likely to lose more and this is why it is entertaining the more.

Do you think that, if the hand of time are to be turned back thing would be normal and gambling addiction wouldn’t had been this common? Of course I am having this mixed feeling that the reason why most people are falling into addiction is because of the lack of employment opportunities and couples with the inflation rate which they are trying to meet up with their and standard ways of life and living.

In my view, the major reason why there is a high rate of gambling is easy access to gambling platforms. Before now, you would have to leave the comfort of your home for a physical betting place to gamble. Now you can gamble with any device from the comfort of your home or anywhere. The rise in gamblers due to easy access has also increased gambling addiction.

If you make access to gambling more rigid, the rate of gambling addiction might reduce. People consume more of what they have easy access to.

Fiat currency is designed to be inflationary; the idea of ​​gambling for income is nothing new, regardless of how difficult access used to be. Nowadays, digital casinos are everywhere, and they can integrate various one-click payment services. You can become an addict without anyone else even realizing it, all while simply lying in your bed.

Everyone who comes to gamble definitely hopes to win. Whatever the game, whatever the bet. I know gambling would be more fun if it were just for fun. But you have to look at the fact that nowadays, there are more gamblers who bet not for fun. Gambling has become another part of people's activities that require a budget. It's better than betting everything.

In facts it is now like people are that becoming impatient with gambling and they do not see the benefits of gambling instead they are now channeling their focused on what amounts they could be making through gambling which is making them to lose concentration.

I think gambling can never bring back financial prosperity quickly, gambling is only for entertainment, gambling is very risky to earn money quickly. Honestly, I do not know what benefits a person can get in life through gambling. A person can only enjoy entertainment through gambling, nothing more. If a person continues to gamble with the expectation of more than entertainment, he will lose control and face financial losses.

Do you think that, if the hand of time are to be turned back thing would be normal and gambling addiction wouldn’t had been this common? Of course I am having this mixed feeling that the reason why most people are falling into addiction is because of the lack of employment opportunities and couples with the inflation rate which they are trying to meet up with their and standard ways of life and living.

I think that gambling addiction is completely the gambler's own fault, no one else is responsible for it. If a person cannot control his greed and gambles aggressively, as a result, a gambler loses self-control and the gambler faces a large amount of money loss. Gambling is not just about gambling for entertainment, it is not right to gamble with the hope of gaining extra money, so it is better to gamble only with the money you can afford to lose.

There is no difficulty in gambling once you play the game of your choice you have ability for, remember gambling is entertainment and anything that has to do with playing should come with and understanding that we are truly in for that, you choose the game of your choice and you play it, stake accordingly and Gamble with caution, don't expect winning as you are playing because you are most likely to lose more and this is why it is entertaining the more.

Actually everyone has their reason why they gamble and maybe you are the kind that proclaim to gamble for entertainment yet you still feel bad and emotional when your ticket get lost. I don't gamble without expecting win I mean if I am not expecting winning why am I gambling?. In gambling I consider both winning and losing because I'm gambling to win but if it happens that It didn't go as expected I will let it go and in sports betting I don't think if there is anyone that gambles there for fun.

Quite the opposite! Thanks to technology, gambling is now much more widely accessible, and the convenience is incomparably greater. You can play in any situation-at home, at the office, on your way to work (as long as you’re not driving), at the dinner table, or while walking down the street.
But this has greatly expanded the audience, and as expected, we’re simply seeing a proportional increase in the number of people with gambling addictions.

[YOSHIE]

Of course I am having this mixed feeling that the reason why most people are falling into addiction is because of the lack of employment opportunities and couples with the inflation rate which they are trying to meet up with their and standard ways of life and living.

Well, here are the main reasons then and now.
But I actually think that the gambling that we know today is actually very easier than before, when we used to gamble, we had to go to a certain place, Now it's no longer thanks to the internet everything is easy and plus the presence of Android, where gambling activities are easy to do anywhere.

Likewise, payment and deposit methods can now be done instantly from digital wallets, as well as modern types of games, the easier way of gambling now than before, actually makes it difficult for people to stop, so they easily fall into it. addicted.

Add to that the high unemployment rate, difficult economy, high inflation, quick and easy access to gambling, it is not surprising when we see people think of gambling as a source of income, even though in fact that will never happen.

Comparing gambling nowadays and to the old days times you would see that people barely cry about addiction but are fully enjoying the entertainment purposes where things were very less common

I don't know of any time when gambling was not seen as a way to earn money. Some people have always seen gambling as a way to earn extra income, even though it was fun and an entertainment. More people gamble now than they used to, so it's normal to see more people who are addicted now, or stories of people who lost money by not gambling responsibly. There are many more casinos because there is demand for them. You can't compare now to a time when there were not many online casinos.

I also feel this talk of gambling addiction is overestimated. There are gambling addicts, of course, but on this forum, people talk about it as if almost everybody who gambles is addicted. I have met, and I know a lot of gamblers, and I'm very sure most of them are not addicts. It is not even everybody who sees it as a way to earn income who is addicted.

[Obulis]

The number of gambling companies is already more than double now if compared to even 20 years ago to talk of more than that. This is not without the psychological effects that has made gambling so ordinary and normal for many, unlike those days that many gamblers don't like to be known as gamblers compared with less gamblers keeping up with such life of not wanting to be known as gamblers nowadays (that's gamblers years ago who doesn't like to be known as gamblers are more than gamblers who doesn't want to be known as gamblers today). All this means that gambling is more easier today than before .

Gambling has been camouflaged to be a normal thing but the negative effects does not change and so it can't be normal. Even as the level of gambling and gamblers nowadays is high than before, it is easier to gamble today than before and gambling has caused more difficulties nowadays than before.
Gambling has to be a calculated attempt that one has to be in charge of if you don't want to totally avoid it.

[uneng]

The difference is that before, the public who went for gambling had more awareness than the current one. In crypto gambling, for an example, gamblers were concerned about playing in a provably fair, low house edge and decentralized casino. The public was more demanding.

But since the industry has reached the masses, the situation changed completely. Most gamblers now don't care about decentralization and privacy, they don't know what house edge and provably fair mean.

Giveaways aren't important anymore and completely disappeared from casinos, as they don't feel to need praising customer anymore to sustain a loyal base of users.

However, rates like gambling addiction must have increased in total numbers, because gambling got more popular, but proportionally speaking, I don't think it increased considerably.
