So you are gambling in order to support your family? So you are earning regularly from gambling? Is it on casino games or sports betting? But I do not think we rely on gambling winnings for our family's need. It is way too risky. So I am curious if you are indeed earning well.

What I understand about gambling is for entertainment purposes and only allocate some free time and money. So if ever I get rich from gambling I will also continue to play within my limits. But getting rich from gambling is mission impossible to me because I only bet on sports betting with around 50/50 odds of winning.

No. If I'm rich enough, I will lessen my exposure into it and instead dedicate my time to my family and my passion. In terms of money, I would put it on a business or a secured asset that would help me generate income to make my ends meet. Because at the end of the day, my reason for gambling is to support my family and when I have the money to do that, I will stop and pursue things I truly want. It's like a target hit and needed to put my aim on another target.

I believe it could perfectly be any of those two options, to be honest. Since we are talking about people interacting on WhatsApp and perhaps even on Telegram, there is always a chance one could be dealing with a scammer masquerading as a woman in order to go for the pig butchering scam in the long term. Though, we should also keep in mind women within the world of gambling can suffer important stigma, leading for them to co tinur to gamble and bet in the shadows, without their family members to know about their activities.
Whatever the case, I don't think all people on the internet claiming to be a woman are scammers or anything, regardless of the alledged gender of anyone on the internet, one needs to be careful and always assume one could be a target of a scam at any time, specially on Telegram, which is unfortunately full of scammers and people into shady business.

On a side note, I have not seen women partaking in gaming either in my area, some of them would rather to go to the casino because beer is cheaper there, though.

When a person gets addicted to gambling and if he remembers the rules before then, he will definitely get rid of the addiction. Because gambling addiction is one of the leading causes of gambling losses alone, where thousands of people suffer from this problem and lose their money. Gambling is such a place where people get so addicted to it that they don't realize when they face losses. That is why he has to follow the highest rules that can save him.

Your right about this it's good to set a limit to everything so you don't overdo it and in such addictive habits like gambling we should even set extra rules and try to be more careful about how much we allocate to doing so, so we don't end up wreking our finances or becoming notorious with gambling.

Some ways to achieve this is by seting rules to how much we give, how much time we spend and even how much we engage in such discussions with notorious gamblers so we don't end up breaking our set rules.

👉how do you feel when peopel ask you for money to gamble?, do you gamble with debt?  Or would you never indulge in such no matter how sure you are about the game ?
Feel pity at the same time i do have those thoughts that they should need to learn those lessons and made themselves realize that gambling shouldnt really be treated up on that way.

👉Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplinedenough to know when to stop?
Limit and moderation is crucial on which this isnt only applied on gambling but also in other things in life as well. Having no control would really be putting you up on shit condition.

👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?
Human beings are greedy, so it would be understandable that majority would really be continuing and aiming for more.Its not really that shocking.

Women shape their children and hence I am of the opinion that they should restrict their gambling habits if any once they start to get settled.

Addicted gamblers need professional help. There is no glory in being that person.

If I lose I do feel bad and that stops me from playing more. I rarely play anymore because I understood how the industry works a long time back. At present I only invest in casino bankrolls and that is a profitable investment in the long term.

I dont as of now.

I dont lend and neither do I play on debt. I think that is a very risky thing to do.

If I would play, then yes I would.

Never again is what I am following.

Finally, I am privileged to answer the last one.

My answer is Yes here, and the reason is that my mindset about gambling has never been money-based. It has been on the fun side and a sense of doing it without being left out despite watching various sports events. This is merely the feeling of "belonging" in most cases and if I do not gamble when I want to, I do not always feel comfortable about it, especially if my speculation later becomes right. This mostly happens with sports betting.

With it, despite taking it more seriously to at least earn something from it no matter how little it is, I have not taken it as what will be earning my living, so it helps that way and it will not change regardless of my status. And this same mindset is what I believe I will still preserve when I am rich. The only thing that could change then is the amount I wager per bet because I would have had more access to funds, so there is no way I would not be thinking bigger at the time.

I also don't think that a gambler can stay away from gambling if they become rich because of gambling in the first place. How can you forget or abandon the source that has changed your life? Whether it's gambling or something else that has given you money that you can spend for years to come, you should keep visiting frequently and spend some money from what you have gotten, you don't need to spend a lot of it though.

If I manage to win a large sum of money through gambling, I would obviously start some businesses, make investments, but I'm positive that I wouldn't leave gambling forever, and whenever I get time and want to relax, I would gamble because if I'm rich, I wouldn't mind spending a few hundred dollars on my gambling activities.

Well losing is a natural part of life, not all the time things have to go as you predict, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, that's what life is about, in a casino the hardest thing for everyone is always They will be the losses, because in part when we enter a casino, we do so with high hopes of winning, and that is something that cannot be taken away from anyone, but we must understand that the casino is a form of adult entertainment, which is It was done first to have a different time, enjoy and see the possibility of winning some money, but just as you win there is the possibility of losing, and as I have said on many occasions, the house edge is something that we have to consider Always when it comes to playing, we know that we cannot get millions of dollars or win big, much less if we bet with little money, losing is something we must accept with great maturity to learn.

Basically having the ability to accept the fact of risk and losing in gambling is good and is indeed one of the requirements for responsible gambling and is indeed quite recommended because with this you will not be trapped by your own emotions when you lose, but on the other hand this ability should not be utilized, or it means that you continue to gamble indefinitely and if you lose then you will say that "this is part of the game", The concept is not like that, which is where losing should be a lesson, I'm not saying that you can refuse to lose because the name of defeat will not be avoided completely, but what I mean is that you also have to have limits both in terms of budget and also the time of involvement which will make you probably lose less often because you have limited or not too frequent involvement time.

Yes, it is true that most gamblers do not have this ability, or they are not able to accept the consequences of losing at the end of the session where most of them are stuck in their own emotions due to not being able to accept the fact of losing, and maybe I would mention that it is a typical irresponsible gambler or loser who wants to win but is not ready to lose.

Firstly, no one dares ask me for money to gamble in which i will give, if you want to gamble, then learn to earn the money for that purpose, secondly, it you're asking me for money, i will ensure that you're not a gambler and not going to use my money to gamble, so in times of uncertainties in knowing whether such a person is a gambler or not, i will rather prefer paying for the exact needs he want to use the money for than giving a random person my money when am not sure if the need is truly genuine or not, why he is asking me for money.

👉how do you feel when peopel ask you for money to gamble?, do you gamble with debt?  Or would you never indulge in such no matter how sure you are about the game ?
Gambling with borrowed money or loan then it would really be that a suicide on doing such thing. Gambling is really just that for fun
dont tend that this is some sort of money making or income stream because its not really that on this way.

👉Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplinedenough to know when to stop?
Self control might hard but its not impossible on which it would really be that depending on a certain person because moderation and control
would really be that totally different to each other.

👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?
Cant guarantee, because once we do win up huge money in gambling then that kind of urge would really be
there in hoping that you might be able to get more.

This is the continuation of the answers in twos as I mentioned earlier.

This is an idiocy of the highest order, it is bad and unspeakable for some to borrow money to gamble or beg money from people to gamble. Well, the purpose of asking for money from people is not often known, so I may not know if a person asked for money from me and later went to gamble with it. But if such a person dared to ask me for the money and also told me the reason for asking for the money, which was to gamble, then I would not give the person.

If you want to gamble, go and work for the money, it is not my money you would waste on such a quest. If I give anyone money, I do that due to my kind gesture but it is no longer a kind gesture if the money is used for some kind of betting which I view as ugly in that sense. One has to reasonably gamble only with the money they can afford to lose which also is the money they worked for, and not mine. He should bet with his money to make him know how it feels to waste one's sweat.

Of course, I do. I know my limits in casinos and sports betting and this has always helped me to manage myself and my gambling portfolio properly. No one can prevail in gambling without the limit set and the right management calculations, such a person will entirely only be gambling anyhow and the results can never be encouraging.

Who knows. Maybe it's a research thing or a social experiment. Well, this is a forum so I guess anyone could ask anything, it will just depend on us if we want to answer it.

Same thing for me, I don't see any women gambling anymore and  I don't want to conclude that those who have usernames with a woman's name are real women because there will be times when they are using those things to scam others or to extort a rich gambler.
About famous gamblers, I only follow Drake with his bets because they are crazy numbers and it's fun to see the results of where he put his money for. Because of that, I end up watching the whole game/fight or whatever sport he bet for. It's a good thing, somehow he made me watch a game that I have no interest in and I think the gambling sites are successful in using these popular names to use their platform to gamble because in some cases maybe gamblers are copying him or going against him, not just watching.

Is it that easy for you to do that? Most gamblers would at least take a day or two to get out of the remorse when they lose something significant, by something significant I mean money that is higher than the decided budget, and if you lose that, you would probably hate gambling and your decisions for a couple of days and then you will get back to it thinking that you wouldn't make the same mistake again.  

If your emotions are so soft that you can just think that it's part of the game and you instantly feel better, you are lucky, because most gamblers would not be able to have such control over their emotions which is the basic reason why they get addicted to gambling because they can't convert their minds and control the urge to gamble more.

Many people are making a lot of answers for questions that are not need to be questioned. Don't get me wrong if you want to, then that is fine and there is nothing wrong with that but the idea that someone could question YOU, like not ask a question, like "how can I do a 30x rollover to get my bonus", that's literally requesting help, no no in this case this dude is basically questions who YOU are by asking you personal questions.

I respect every single one that answered these questions and you have my deepest applause, but at the same time I would rather not answer it, and guessing many people who didn't and just closed this topic without writing anything felt the same way. Why would we let OP question who we are.

It is true that casinos welcome people of all genders, but you are correct that there are still certain distinctions in how men and women view gambling. According to studies, males prefer high-risk, high-reward games like poker and blackjack, but women choose games that need more skill and strategy, such as slots and bingo. It's not just gender that influences gambling behaviors; age, wealth, and other characteristics can all have an impact. There is a lot of study being done on this topic, and it's amazing to observe how different variables interact.

Isn't it the fault of the gamblers that they put more money than they can even afford to lose? No one forces them to do so but it is one's greed that they think that if they put a lot of money in gambling, the turn around will be big but usually taking a lot of risk will just cause them to make even bigger losses.


Those people are very less in number who gambles only for the sake of fun and do not care for the money. Really you need to have a lot of money with you in order to have this mindset. Usually, the gamblers belong to poor or mid class families, can never think of losing money only for fun. 
Most people do not have extra money which they can afford to lose for having fun only.


When you met another gambler who is your friend or relative and if he tells about his wins in gambling (and if you are a lose at gambling), then it can create a lot of depression and disappointment in yourself as you start to feel the most unlucky person on earth not having big wins in gambling. I do not think that the social aspect of a loser in gambling has anything positive for the gambler.

Well, that is very nice to know, that even women are owners of their casinos, I think it is very good, they are the things that exalt a woman, because a woman can have the ability to do all those things, due to her knowledge , skills and Do not fall into beliefs that seem in bad taste to me like the "feminisitas" in fact I love "feminine" women because they make a difference. It is as if they put a guarantee seal on it, however there are many who do not accept the triumph of a woman just for being a woman, I also believe that just as there is "feminism" there is still "machismo" and it seems to me that there is a high level of being "primitive" people, but it is a purely social issue that we often refer to , I like to see people who succeed, because I classify them at the top, regardless of gender, (as for gender I mean male and/or female, and with great respect to the hundreds of genders that have now been released. know, which I honestly don't understand, I classify women and/or men because their information in their DNA is like that, the rest is their decision, which I still respect) so that idea of seeing women more often in the casino, at least I like it, because you always see beautiful things and that also makes you want to keep going to the casino.

This can be exploited as marketing, a marketing that some classify as something sexy focused on sexual attraction, but come on, a normal attraction, if you go to a place and see pretty women, as a man you feel good, I don't know what's in the information of our DNA.
