Topic: Ambivalent attitude to gambling - page 2. (Read 686 times)

You're absolutely right that there's no guarantee of winning all the time in gambling. Losing is a natural part of the process, and it shouldn't be a source of shame, as long as you're playing responsibly within your means. Staying mindful of your budget and treating the casino as a source of entertainment rather than a way to make money is a wise approach to enjoy the experience without unnecessary stress

When we understand that the casino is just for fun, when we finally understand that concept, it is easier to assimilate everything, because even losses are seen as something normal, and it is as I have said in many threads, it is very good to see the casino as a means of entertainment where what one does is pay for a service, and in that service when emphasis is placed on what is known, for example, one plays slots, one pays 20 usd to play, in those 20 usd if you are willing to spend it all at once, At least my technique is to make the minimum bets all the time, until you see how everything develops, and that is pure fun, because you have matured a lot and can no longer suffer addiction under any circumstances.

There are players who say that they must bet enough to have enough profits and yes, they are right, if you bet a lot the profits are excellent, but how do you do it if you push a lot and lose everything? In my case, if I bet a lot and lose everything, I must collect for a long time to have a respectable balance just to play, then everything will stay there, and the playing time decreases, if I play with little money, obviously I will have very minimal winnings, but with that I am satisfied, that to be profitable, it is a lie that with little money I make a lot, unless you play slot machines and win, but you have to have unique luck.

An ambiguity of the game can be that, although normally one as a player cannot have the illusion of winning all the time, it is common to lose in the game and it should not be a reason for shame , as long as things are done responsibly, everything is fine.

I strongly agree to that. It should not be like a daily job where we get stressed out while doing it. It is made to make a game more fun by adding something on the line and making it more exciting to watch or play.
Yes, the truth is a human being's perspective is to always win but we cannot do that every day. A business should also make some profits for it to continue running, they could not just give away all their money like a charity.
There is always a losing point when in comes to casino betting and this is why I love sports betting more than it. I just play casino when I feel bored and would like to challenge the house in a game of Keno or slot games that are fun and where combos are being made.
I don't like losing and this is why I just bet cents of a dollar in slots, it's not a lot but when it hits a jackpot, it could be something else and that's when I will withdraw.  

When we become strong is when we are able to solved our personal problems. Risky decisions result in either earnings or losses; we must decide which. Raising capital and utilizing it for gambling is never a good idea, and most people get it improperly. We are in the business to generate money while also recording losses, but we always ensure that profits surpass losses and not the other way around. Gambling is not devastating, and it also provides an awesome feeling, which means we are all committed to whatever we do with our money. 

It is true that greed is already part of is that is why it always take extraordinary move for us to overcome the greed in us. Everyone has it in us and it only need to be established for it to start creating difficulties and problem for us when we do things or react to something. Gambling is meant to be fun filled but at the same time, we all want to make money and pay our bill and that is one of the major reason why we do see even the rich and poor going into gambling. Everyone want to make more money and gambling had been a quick way for us to double our Capital if we know what we are doing as a gambler.

that's true, I remember until today that when I started to place sports bets, even before putting money on a bet, I was already making profit plans, what would I do with it in case I hit my bet, I saw those of mine bets as something that should get big profits, that's why I spent a lot of time doing game analysis and you can see that I don't put a lot of money in games of chance nowadays, even in the past I didn't do that, but in the past I was hoping to settle bets, I used to make multibet bets, in fact I still do that today

So for me, when I put a little money, something like 5$ or less, but at most it was 10$ each week in a multibet bet with a very high odd and when I was sure I would make a good profit and I would celebrate because I would take it right away the bank, I look at it as if it were a lottery ticket but with a chance that I can analyze it and with that the possibilities of me winning become greater and when I lose for me nothing changes because the moment I put the money in the casino I give money as lost, with that I am not under pressure and I am not sad in case of losing

Gambling should really be for fun
Gambling should really be for entertainment
Gambling should really be a past time
Gambling should really be that leisure generally

If you do have this kind of mindset on the time that you do play gambling then you wouldnt really be putting yourself on such condition on which you are really that desperate on making money with gambling.
On the time that you would really be changing up your attitude or whatsoever behavior you would really be having then you would really be finding yourself into much trouble later on.
It all matters on how you would be handling yourself on such engagement on these things which it isnt limited on gambling but also into others.If you arent that able to balance
between good and bad things then you would be able to encounter some headaches later on.

It's mean your self control skill is bad and you need to think what's the reason your mindset is changed. I was a gambler who gamble for money, but mostly I didn't achieve my goal and I'm not happy with the result. After that I learn to change my mindset to gamble only for entertain, regardless of the outcome is, I always happy since gambling is fun. Until now my mindset is never changed and gamble is always to entertain for me.

When we lose, we shouldn't blame the casino for the loss because it is our own desire to play gambling. We should know that there is no guarantee of winning at gambling, so we must realize when it's time for us to play and stop. And to avoid losing a lot, we must limit the amount of money for gambling. Meanwhile, the casino never forces us to use a lot of money for gambling. If you consider gambling as entertainment, you will not use a lot of money and will not think about getting a win from gambling because it is a difficult thing.

It all depends on each other's point of view because maybe your country's government has banned gambling and casino games, but giving permission for soccer betting means that soccer betting is not a bad thing like gambling.
But when it is understood by people who really think bad about gambling, then whether it's guessing the results in football betting or all types of games or bets are definitely considered bad so that the good and bad of gambling depends on who assumes it.

For my country all forms of gambling and betting are strictly prohibited and there are several times each year there are controls for gambling and anyone caught will be punished by the authorities.

Easier said than done, we all want a pressure-free gambling session, but the excitement when we are winning is what makes us think seriously that we can make real money from gambling.
No gambler treated gambling as entertainment all the time he is playing, there will always be a time of changing or shifting your mindset, we are tempted to be like that, we are just humans and tempted to be greedy especially when money is involved.

Things have been like this with gambling for a long time, in fact when people talk about games of chance to think that a part of the population thinks that this is bad, and the truth is I don't know why, there are many who they like it and enjoy it, so it has become very popular, and I think that as time goes by that interest will continue to increase and the reason is simple, the people are looking to have fun and are looking to have more experiences that put their adrenaline to 1000, and I know many friends who have a lot of money and play and play, they will lose and it is like taking a fart from a cat, it does not affect them, and this is obviously feeding a casino, clients for a casino are everything, for this reason it is I think that when a person says that casinos are bad, they are thinking retrograde and obviously wrong about what gambling is.

Gambling is a general term and there are different games under it including lottery. When you play the lottery you are playing a gambling and you are wagering but it's funny if you will make a pledge as there is still no assurance to win in gambling. It's the gamblers' fault on why they lose their money because they are the ones who play gambling and the casino didn't forced them. What is worse is they can say negative things to it after.

The right way to play gambling is to not take it seriously. That way, you will never risk your valuables, become addicted, or be frustrated to it but you will only feel happy because you have been entertained.

Besides bingo and lotteries I think we could also mention the raffles, especially the ones which propose to collect funds for a cause related to charity. It's more common in smaller communities where people purchase numbers or names displayed on a cardboard to win a final prize (it can be electronics, household appliances, vehicles...) or sum of money, which is hidden on the cardboard itself, and it's only revealed once every numbers or names are sold out.

The collected funds are destinated to a cause such as orphanages, churches, educational institutions or to pay for a health treatment of someone in need. So people aren't like to accept the fact they are gambling, because they just think they are helping someone else. And this category of gambling also has a wide acceptance, even among gambling's criticizers.

I know a lot of gamblers who are very calm people,funny and who like to have a good time,they don't get mad that quick even when they lose a huge amount of money and these are the persons who are not corrupted nor use drugs or substances or alcohol except a couple of drinks as a max.There are unfortunately also other people who while they gamble are calm but if someone talks to them while they are gambling and losing money they lose it completely and starts yelling or behaving in a not appropriate way and these are the problematic gamblers,it does not necessarily mean that they are prone to alcohol or drugs or corruption but this second type is of course more prone to such things.

Maybe you are from Islamic country because their religion doesn't allow it. Not only gambling but I heard there are so many restrictions there but I'm glad that you can still access a Bitcoin forum. I guess it shows that crypto is still legal there? Hhmm. Those parents you are talking about are wrong but actually, there are lots of professional and successful people who still plays gambling and they have more discipline than those who are not successful yet.

It can be normal for an influencer to do a promotion but they should be transparent. They shouldn't encourage scam and illegal casinos. Fair and legal casinos must have a restriction for the underage people, so don't worry.

I think why do those who gamble just by buying the lottery look calmer because they can use the smallest amount of money, just 1 ticket a day to try their luck while gambling like in casino games and sports betting is impossible just by playing with $1, because the casino has a minimum deposit that is above  that value, and I do not agree that gambling will make a person different, and gambling is not the only reason for someone to be bad because all actions taken without responsibility are the characteristics of a bad person, corruptors are bad persons, drug-addicted can be bad people, so we cannot assume that all bad things happen to someone because he is a gambling addict, he could become an addict because he first experienced mental problems and gambling is the escape

Nothing will stand in the way of my approach against gaming and Lottery; one cannot serve two masters at the same time, so I devote my attention to the section that deserves it. Lottery is extremely difficult to win because the entire system is entirely different from gambling, with unforeseen targets set out for participants who barely win a seat. Lottery has never been my thing because it all hinges on luck. However, gambling must deal with plan methods, not make-believe or guesswork, but simple plans that either result in profits or losses, with odds of 50/50 but clearly better than the lottery.

Well, anything that can be harmful to most people is considered bad by a community and I don't see anything wrong in that, even though I'm not in favor of a ban because I believe everyone should have their own responsibility and it is injustice with those who know they have enough control over themselves that it won't harm them, I would still say that elderly are not wrong in shaming gambling because it is addictive and destructive too.

Some addictions harm you only, either physically or mentally, but gambling is a kind of addiction that can harm others around you as well. For example, if you are married and have a family and you become addicted to gambling, you will totally forget about your family and everything and you will be gambling away all your money and will even start selling things from your home only to get money to gamble, now that is wrong, and that is the reason why they shame it.

Lottery to me is different from gambling. In gambling there's a wager. You make a pledge of something and then with a hope to winning which if you don't win whatever it was you pledged is gone. This is where people label gambling bad because some bet valuables and win or lose until they're addicted to doing it and then frustration sets in and that's why a lot of times people are told to stay out of gambling but lottery is not gambling and  it doesn't include the wager. Many people do not consider lottery as gambling so they participate in it because one cannot get addicted to participating in the lottery.
