Who should you trust then, if not your closest people? I don't see the point in living with people from whom you hide everything, in that case you won't be able to share your thoughts and experiences with anyone, because you will constantly be expecting a catch. But in the event of a big loss (if you can), it would be better to protect your closest ones from this and not tell anyone. No one will envy a big loss, but your family can worry with you, and if this can be avoided, then I would prefer to do so.

In reality, I think not everyone can always hide the events that happen to them, like now many people are gambling and that means many also experience defeat and even big defeats, and I think out there there are people who are always open by telling the events that happen to them such as experiencing big losses in a gamble they do.

But I myself do suggest hiding it, even if you have a good relationship with your family or partner, then when you experience a big defeat it is better to hide it, although telling other people might find a solution but believe that the situation that will occur will not be smooth.

Lack of trust is actually one of the reasons why people don't usually disclose most of their success in life generally and not only in gambling, at most times it is even those that are more closed to us that will think evil against us, that is to say majority of our closet friends and family are our worst enemies, I don't blame anyone that are conservative in terms of sharing their success stories because their are those who derives joy in the downfalls of others in a more pretentious way, it is good that should take good note of this and be very careful.

I believe he is talking from his own experience. After all, in this part of the world where I come from, it is better to keep your success and progress a secret than say it out because you do not know who is who. The person you might be sharing your progress with might be a wolf in sheep's clothes waiting to devour you secretly. There have been many cases here in my area where friends share their success among themselves and at the end we hear kidnap, armed robbery, and setup which are all being investigated and the truth revealed which happens to be a friend behind all the atrocities. This act makes people no longer share such sensitive stories with or amongst their friends and peers even to the extent of hiding their success stories from their family members. Lots are happening and the truth is that where you least expect it to come from are the places it comes from.

I don't see a big deal in disclosing it when you win or lose, this is unless you are not a responsible gambler or you are not just proud of gambling. Gambling and its results should never be secretive, even by sharing, you might be lucky to meet a better gambler who might advise you and show you some ways to gamble safer, especially if you are an addict. For me, the way gambling is fun on its own is the same way the gist about its result is fun when I am in the midst of like minds.

Discussing gambling activity with fellow gamblers is always fun; you argue with each other, agree, and disagree, especially among sports betting gamblers. You learn from each other, but the circle you find yourself in will determine the type of information that you will disclose to them. I mean in terms of big winning, because not everyone who is close to you will be happy to see you win big while they themselves have not; that's why some people prefer to keep their winning a secret from friends and let them know where their problem is coming from and not just about being proud of gambling or not.

3. Consume alcohol.
4. Drink a coffee and smoking.
5. Sitting alone on the street.

I'm sure the 5 things I mention in my post is way more realistic than what @OP mentioned above, most men doing at least one of them. Don't be too philosophical, good vibes or being positive, we all know what coping mechanism for men.

. I get your sarcasm but IMO you have provided all the steps in opposite directions it should be read from bottom to up. Grin

. Joke aside, I understand the need for venting out but beware that it must not become a defense mechanism that can easily result in addiction.

Quote from: Fortify on December 31, 2024, 03:42:57 PM

From what I've seen in the past, people who pick up gambling addictions are often stuck in a rut and a reoccurring habit, which has often led them to prioritize gambling over friendships.This can make points 2 and 3 even harder for the most isolated people, as they may have burned various bridges or just lost contact with previous people that might have been there to support them. Even worse, they might have abused that friendship with things like borrowing money that was not repaid. Those first 72 hours, but also weeks and months afterwards, will be the hardest as you have to completely rewire what your brain thinks is "normal" behavior - so you have to be on guard and consciously distract yourself, so point number 3 is a great tip.

Great explanation and let it serve as a warning, especially about abusing closed ones for gambling addictions. I am glad that you find point 3 useful and I am in total agreement with your real-life practical analogy. Well said.

There are people that are used to telling people of their success in gambling and we can always avoid that if we know that disclosing our gambling results or wins will limit us to winning more as gamblers. Gambling is not for those that are weak but for the strong ones. People keep writing about gambling for fun which I know that the only time you can gamble for fun is when you have money and you have been making consistent profits from betting on different games and sport. We ought to be guided and always play games that will give us good rewards especially when we are already used to it.

Hmm honestly I think telling other people will not affect the results at the end of the game, it is not something that can be used as a benchmark for whether you will win or lose, in the end regardless of whether other people know our victory or not for the next victory it depends on how lucky you are when playing. Gambling is indeed not for the weak but in my opinion gambling is more appropriate for the weak.

On the other hand, maybe I will slightly justify your statement about how gambling is for entertainment which gambling for entertainment does not mean when someone has money because no matter what your goal is, it is clear from the start that gambling can only be done if for example you have money, so the point of gambling for entertainment is when you are able to account for all the decisions you have taken at the beginning.

I would be very careful with advice "tell someone". A lot of people dont bother about other people's problems and gambling has such a reputation, that a probability that someone will help and not turn his back is low. I believe that people are very proud and scared on the same time to ask for a help or to share something private. If a gambler asks for help and the other persons refuses to help, that gambler might never ever be open with others or ask for help again. Because of that, such advice can help, but can also make things worse.

have you not noticed that many people who participate in gambling and win from their gambling that does not expose the method the use to win in gambling to other people but I don't know why it's like that to most of the gamblers and any Gambler is he doing that I believe that person is a greedy, so I believe participating in the gambling you need to know that the wining is out of chance and if you can recall the method some use to win in gambling, I believe that you can do the same, and doing same might not work out for you. That's why gambling never be a skill.

I think you dont get it. We are here talking about losing, not about winning. A person wont confess that he has won not because he is greedy and dont like to share method he has used to win, but because its random, there is not method or strategy that will lead to constant winning. But my idea was that people dont share information about their losses or fails. As they are uncomforted saying that, because they are afraid to be laughed at or misunderstood.

I don't see a big deal in disclosing it when you win or lose, this is unless you are not a responsible gambler or you are not just proud of gambling. Gambling and its results should never be secretive, even by sharing, you might be lucky to meet a better gambler who might advise you and show you some ways to gamble safer, especially if you are an addict.

Yup, they needed to care about themselves after losing a lot, instead of keep pushing to try their luck much better to take a break and reassess what's made them wrong, there are many things that they need to consider, analysing how deep the engagements that they've already got and what are the things that may let them move forward and lessen the chance of keep losing their hard earned money.

And it's true that those people around especially those who are caring about your condition can really help if your engagement to gambling is really gotten so far, they can help and made you realize if what you need to do in coping up with your gambling problem.

That is if they realize that what they get from gambling is not good for them. But most people will not realize that and still gambling without stopping for a while. So they will just losing more money in gambling without have a chance to recover their losses or win much money. They should introspect what they did in gambling so they will see that gambling is not for them and no need to be back to gambling.

Losing the money no matter how much needs to be aware so we don't try to gambling for too long. That will only makes us get more losses and if we don't wake up from that, we only gets more serious problems from gambling.

Many even play in such a way that if a player loses a lot and he stops, because he understood it, this is of course not bad, because there are those players who become as if obsessed with the game and do not see the end, only to play to win back. So the first category of players can stop playing, pay off debts to banks or friends, but then after some time, already without debts, they will return to the game again. And again repeat the same path and stop again, it looks like cycles. I sometimes did similar things until I understood that you need to play without debts and very carefully control your expenses on the game.

Yea, some people has a limit to which to gamble a day or a week and these set of people appears to understand gambling better because there loss will be somehow moderate or less because of their understanding and approach. i have seen people who gamble, virtual to be precise and loss their money instead of letting go they went to borrow to win back what they have actually lost and we all know this kind of thing is not always easy or possible because the possibility or the chance is low and that is a very wrong approach i know controlling oneself when or after incurring loss can be difficult but one ought to have this control before going into gambling.

Socialization, in my opinion, is not a guarantee that a person will gamble less. There is no established figure of a player who is closed in on himself and seeks solace and sedation in gambling. Absolutely anyone is susceptible to gambling. So greater and larger socialization process is not a panacea for gambling in general, or for losing, or as a consolation after losing.

The advice that you need to socialize more is not as easy as you would like. Of course, many gamblers and betting enthusiasts are closed people who, in order to somehow entertain themselves on weekends, spin slots or play roulette. If they had a lot of friends, they would most likely attend parties and meetings.
But the thing is that with age it is increasingly difficult to meet and trust. And if someone has friends from their youth, then this is great, but if you are already a real adult, then making friends is very difficult.

Huge losses as good as always accumulate even more losses because the brain tells us to get those losses back as quick as possible. Grin

That's why gambling requires a lot of focus, patience and self management. Without these essential factors it's pretty much a lost cause and only insane luck can safe you from losing more than you can afford. See the reality for what it is, don't chase losses, better don't chase anything. Understand the math and probabilities behind everything you are doing and think twice (or better even more) before following it up with actions.
We have enough clowns in this forum that don't do that and then blame the casino for their shortcomings, don't be one of them and be smart.

I often hear that gambling can only be successful if you can control and master your emotions and focus. I can't say that I disagree with such statements. But I still don't fully understand how exactly this happens in practice. You can be the most focused person in the world, but the random number generator will not work in your favor because of that. Yes, these skills help you stop in time and not multiply your losses, but they do not help you win either, because there is simply no direct mechanism for converting these pumped-up skills into winning in gambling.

If they can stop immediately after the losses, that is a wise decision but we know that the temptation to continue gambling will be there and they may difficult to control themselves and can say stop gambling. That will become worst when they borrow money from others or bank because they don't have money to repay but that will not stop them to borrow money from other people. Yes, that is a cycles that needs to be cut off before everything become worst so they must realize what they need to do to prevent the losses.

Security is the main thing, because as you said, it can affect our comfort in any case, and it is related to this in the game we play. If security is one of the issues that is often heard in a casino, then when playing we will not be calm. We will think what if we win and are not paid by them. Security is something that I always pay attention to when choosing a casino to play. And we can see that starting from the reputation of the casino, seeing feedback or reviews from other users and so on. Also we must always pay attention to the terms and conditions of a casino.

The thing that I and my friend have experienced is the winnings that were not paid, with me myself having experienced where it was my lucky day by withdrawing more than once with the amount withdrawn that could be said to be quite large. For the first withdrawal everything went smoothly with the casino paying the winnings I got, and after a few hours I managed to get another win with a fairly large amount also here began to happen strange things with the length of the withdrawal duration that I did, until I had time to go to the shop to buy drinks and food first, although in the end the casino did pay but it made me uncomfortable, and with the third time the winnings I withdrew were not paid, what happened was my account was frozen.
With my friend who had almost the same case, he managed to withdraw his winnings only the winnings were divided in half with the casino staff, this is ridiculous but it does happen.

Now what I think we should pay attention to is not to prioritize winning in gambling, because that will only make us chase after winning which will make us deposit a lot of money in gambling.

Yes, you used a word that I like a lot, which is "prioritize" when we play we want to win, but we should not make it a priority because the opposite can happen and if the opposite happens it is a very strong clash between what we want and what actually happens, sometimes you can't attack at once playing hard because what you say happens, you lose a lot of money, and what is also interesting is to take care of our money, otherwise if we lose control we will run out of money and that is not the idea, the idea is to always have enough money to do all our activities naturally without shortages because of gambling.

Well that's the point, and I'm sure that in most cases the occurrence of various aggressive actions must have all started because they felt they did not accept the results they got before, logically in any case how can we not feel disappointed if the results are not in accordance with what we want even though we had previously hoped so much? This is a kind of disease that appears in the mind because from the beginning they most likely do not understand the concept of winning and losing in gambling so that it makes gamblers focus more on winning and ignore other possibilities such as the risk of losing.

Greed is also usually started because of that, meaning greed often occurs because of expectations that are too high or unrealistic in winning which hopes continue to encourage gamblers to play even crazier for greater results, and in this situation their biggest mistake is not understanding that the concept of winning and losing in gambling refers to probability.

It's hard not to think about the losses when we've just gambled and took some loss. But I agree that it might be helpful for someone not to think that much and remain calm.

Staying calm is hard.

And taking more losses and accepting them is hard too. But when you're not able to stabilize the situation because of your losses, that will give you a harder situation to deal with.

When gambling has ended in defeat, we should not think too much about it, such as thinking about how to recover the loss or others, because there is no point in doing that, instead it might make us deposit money again into gambling with the aim of recovering the previous loss or wanting to pursue a victory that can cover the loss and in my opinion this clearly leads us to lose even more money. This is the importance of doing research first before gambling, where we must be able to accept the fact that what will happen is defeat not victory because we only have a greater chance of losing than the chance of losing. Another way to do when experiencing defeat is to find other activities with the aim of keeping yourself busy to avoid the urge to gamble again, no matter how much money you have to gamble but you shouldn't gamble continuously.

That is hard and that's why I've said that being remained calm while in losses is actually cannot be done by most gamblers.

And we are seeing a lot of us dwell in losses and being emotional at the same time. So, even if you want to take yourself a treat, you just can't.

That is because the feeling is still there and you can't move on quickly with it.

I know that everything we say tends to be difficult to practice or do but easy to say but this is the problem now for example by controlling yourself which is indeed one of the difficult things to do but easy to do with us being able to have that control then everything might be fine rather than having no self-control at all which can happen is physical or mental destruction. Although it is difficult but if it is determined consistently I think it will be able to get used to it. The thing that we must be able to accept is a loss that occurs when we gamble is a natural thing and we should be able to accept it because the greater chance of losing is owned by the player while the chance of winning owned by the player tends to be small and this applies to everyone who gambles whether they are rich or poor in essence the house will always win and that is a permanent provision.

By sharing your loses you are actually telling new comers about the hazards associated with gambling. These days there are huge number of casinos that are easily reachable by everyone regardless of his age and region. These casinos are doing there marketing by showing lucrative price money but not telling how many people have lost there money to these casinos. Those who are already in gambling must share there stories so that anyone who is coming to gambling has vision of both aspects of gambling.
