At least for me now, it's no use calculating profits and losses. Let me tell you a little about my experience, if I calculate how much I lost due to gambling, especially in the past. I don't know how much money I spent at the gambling table, it's definitely not a small amount. Well, now the question actually contradicts the title of this thread. Do I have to calculate past losses even if they happened a decade ago? and now, I am involved in crypto casino gambling. Long story short, before I didn't have a greater understanding of gambling, what responsibility was and what self-control was. The point is, I act as I please to carry out gambling sessions. as a result, do I make a profit? It's clear, the answer is not at all.
If you look at your experience, it seems that 99% of people experience huge losses with their money spent on gambling if you look back from the beginning of their gambling until now that they are still gambling, and 1% of people who benefit from gambling, even though they have been gambling for a long time, but the benefits they get are unlikely to be large and not equivalent to the losses they have felt from the beginning they joined gambling. Many people gamble as they please, and I think that's a natural thing. Because the money used in gambling is also their own, so there is nothing wrong with it, even though in the end it is losing and there is also the possibility of losing a lot instead of winning.
Apart from that, casinos or bookies do not want to get losses, so as much as possible they will make players spend their money on gambling. Because basically, the bookie is happy with players who spend their money on gambling because it is profitable for the bookie, but what happens to the players?
it's their own risk of being deceived by the guarantee of easy wins. So it is natural that gamblers get more losses from the beginning of their gambling.
Now, I am involved in the world of crypto casinos. however, after going through various processes, experiences and so on. I have a slightly more extensive understanding of gambling itself, which brings responsibility along with self-control. Apart from that, the importance of knowledge for me. especially sports gambling. I have to know the various aspects related to it, as well as other variables. why, the answer is simple, which gambler wants to always lose in his gambling, 99% will answer no. Therefore, what should we do so as not to experience defeat? knowledge and science are needed, so that we can think as we should. then the question is, do you make a profit? refer to this thread. The answer is very varied, depending on how we think. If we sum it up as a whole, almost most will answer no. then, why still gamble?, if it's really detrimental.
Of course, there are many aspects that must be studied in order to reduce losses or risks, so that perhaps you can get profits more often, even if they are small. But that's not a problem, as long as it's profitable you can continue doing it, but if you continue to experience losses, please don't continue, it's better to try other things that can be profitable with risks that aren't too high or risks that are easy to deal with with solutions that are easy to get too.
All gamblers want big wins, especially those who think they can get rich quickly by gambling. say 100% all gamblers want big profits, including people who gamble wisely, even if they gamble with good limits and self-control, they definitely also want big, profitable wins. What I saw was that there were so many letters that answered "No", that they were still gambling, perhaps because they were still holding out hope for a big win to be won. But I don't know, I'm just guessing, besides, even if they are asked, most of them will answer with a lie, because someone who is addicted tends to be embarrassed by admitting that they are addicted to gambling.
For me it's simple, yesterday is the past, today is what we live, tomorrow is a mystery. Likewise with gambling, we cannot predict when we will get a profit, let alone a jackpot. Today I lost, tomorrow maybe not. This hour I win, the next minute nothing is certain. The point is, it depends on how we treat gambling itself. if you lose, you should stop. because it's no longer fun. On the other hand, if we win, there is still tomorrow, we can have fun with it. So, I don't need to calculate profit and loss for now, let alone question whether I made a profit. the answer, not certain and not important for most people, is as simple as that.
Anyway, everyone has their own way of thinking and opinions. what I say, not necessarily people will agree.
It is difficult to predict gambling to benefit easily even if he has been gambling for a long time or let's call me experienced and can be said to be professional. I think someone who insists on getting a big win or jackpot will not easily get a big win, so do you mean there is a matter of luck?
It's true what you said, when they lose they should stop, but what I know is the fact that when they lose, instead of stopping, they will get upset and go back to gambling with the aim of reversing the loss they felt. It is unethical to gamble by calculating profit and loss, because basically gambling is only for entertainment not for profit, even if you get profit it is only a bonus.
True, everyone has their own right to choose what they want. Because they also have their own thoughts so they themselves will determine what is good for them and what should be avoided. All back to themselves who will determine the future.
