Yes that's right, not all gamblers come with the intention of multiplying the money they bring, there are some gamblers who just want to get fun or entertainment when they are in a fairly boring free time, but in my opinion gamblers who have weak financial strength are usually more of those who come with reasons and goals to earn, financial circumstances become one of the factors and reasons that affect them, in the sense of gambling to earn with the aim of improving their personal finances and this is a very wrong understanding of gambling. But I'm not saying all gamblers who have low finances always come with this goal, because there are still some of them who have the right understanding in the sense that as you said that they come with the intention of filling empty time.

Exactly, rich gamblers usually don't mind losing too much because after all, they have good enough finances that losing is not too bad for them, and usually the rich people who don't have the goal of earning and just come with the goal of filling their spare time in the middle of their busy life. Basically all gamblers whether they come with the intention of just having fun will not refuse if they manage to get a win, but maybe there is a difference in terms of approach to gambling, as you said that there are people who are too pushy when winning always depends on luck and I think they should really change their understanding and mindset about gambling.
Different mindsets about gambling allow gamblers to have different approaches to gambling. Financial strength will differentiate how gamblers approach gambling, but the better their financial condition, the easier it is for them to become responsible gamblers. On the other hand, poor financial strength tends to make gamblers think about coming and doubling their budget by gambling, but this often leads them to lose more money than they win.

I agree with your explanation even though that is also what I meant in the previous post. Being a responsible gambler is an obligation for every gambler if they don't want to have a bad impact on finances and so on, but this is difficult considering that the goals and desires of gamblers are very different.

As a gambler do you have a  potential winning amount limit? No for winning Is just an unlimited amount

But it will be different if you are losing when I lose I just want to be limited with the amount that I deposit that month if I lose it all then I'm gonna stop and not gonna deposit more to prevent another loss.

My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?

A small amount big amount for me win is just win so Im gonna take it, in fact Im rarely win above x2 and I usually win with x1.4 or x2 in crash.

I have heard and read about people gambling as part of their streams of income.

Yeah I hear it too especially in card gambling but to be honest making gambling as a job is very risky job unless you can control your emotion and know what you are playing with

There's no need to be upset
It’s interesting how math plays a big role on gambling
Calculating odds of win and limiting bets to not blow up your total bank roll is a must
Otherwise you’ll have to keep depositing more and more money to keep gambling and betting this as we all know may be a path leading directly to ruin

Don’t gamble according to what you need or you will likely lose money because of the desperation. Let’s assume I need $100k, I think that it would be foolish to play tickets that will be trying to achieve that amount directly instead of playing little by little and building it up. It’s better this way as you won’t be so desperate and pick unnecessary games that could ruin it all. Take your time as you need to.
Betting is just a game and not for making money. Someone who needs $100k should be able to just look for a job. He will find it difficult to make $100 from gambling because he will probably lose all his money, especially if he bets very large amounts of money. He could win, but it depended on his luck, so he couldn't expect to get a big profit even if it was possible. But he should be able to get a match that he really knows which team to choose and which can win. He can also place bets with rather large amounts of money, but it is still risky even though he can do it by accepting the risk.

Oh save me that story. Betting is just a game and not for making money? Really?! This sounds too much of a lie than even those who personally claim to game for fun. You sound like you’re speaking for everyone, and you’re so sure about it. Listen, if someone wants to play games, they should go and play games. Gambling is gambling. Don’t try to put it under the rug of playing games. If that’s the case, why then do gamblers like the games that return money? Because they don’t want the money and it’s rather a coincidence? Laughable. Grin

those who are thinking that gambling can give back the money they want are disillusioned by the mere thought of it. need to have reality check and see for themselves about the reality of gambling. you are just lying to yourself if you truly believe that you can gain enough money from this activity. even if you shell out a lot of funds, you are just subjecting yourself to more trouble and heartache.



I think that to win you have to have enough money to bet, of course not necessarily, but for the moment to bet you do have enough money and enough money, then the options of winning are applied, it is the most opportunity, as long as you know how to manage, I am not one to start spending a lot of money at the moment, my money to bet is little, not a lot, what I can do is that every time I play, I am content with winning little and with that I am content, and I am not complacent. making plays with the desire of greed, what I can say is that for me settling for little money earned is only the best.

In another aspect, there are some players who are not satisfied with funds that are minimal but rather considerable, but that depends on their way of thinking, since each person's economic situation is different, and based on that, I believe that each one It is measured, the idea is gnar, there should not be many restrictions on winning, but on the risk to be taken.

I feel the fun aspect of gambling sit well with those gamblers that are flamboyantly rich with massive wealth and other sources of income and not for those gamblers living on meager salaries or petty businessmen each penny loss means a lot to you when you think of  one out of many things you could have remedy with that penny. Grin . Now, coming to the expectation amount to be won, it's natural for humans to dwell in positive expectation from what thing they are into but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be satisfied with a near result to your expectation. We place expectations for hope sake and not necessarily to pursue the actual measure expected.
Regardless of the financial strength a gambler has, their gambling goal is not always about money. Having fun and filling free time is the reason why someone wants to spend a little money on gambling, whereas when money is the goal, they just force themselves to gamble without wanting to have fun. Rich gamblers are completely unaffected when they lose, while poor gamblers feel the impact on their finances. This is why it is advisable to be a responsible gambler regardless of how good their financial strength is.

Of course gamblers expect high winnings during their betting sessions, but not all gamblers are actually able to win them. It takes luck to win as much money as expected, but it also requires a large budget and more trials.

True, betting is nothing more than a game of chance, all gamblers who come and get involved they play the luck that is in them in the sense that it is never known whether in the session they do they will be lucky by getting a win or not at all in the sense of losing, it is a very silly and careless idea if someone enters gambling with the aim of looking for a winning target like the amount of $100 you mentioned, it could be that instead of getting that result they lose more than that.

In sports sometimes even very strong teams are very likely to lose to some medium teams, we can see with what is happening in the EPL and Bundesliga, most of the teams that are favored have slumped especially in this season and it is not uncommon for some of the gamblers who bet there to lose money, this is sports betting that basically there is something we can analyze based on the history of the strength of the previous team, especially if we bet on a type of gambling that is pure luck then I would really advise not to target anything, especially victory because it will only make us feel disappointed when luck is away from us, this is one of the proofs and reasons that in gambling risk cannot be completely avoided.
And because they don't know when their luck will come, they can only gamble moderately without forcing themselves to keep trying to win. And they should let luck come to them so they can win. But when they have won, they should immediately decide to stop gambling and have no desire to chase bigger wins. Otherwise, they will lose all their money, including their winnings, and if that happens, they can only regret it without being able to recover their losses. And instead of experiencing more losses, they should immediately realize that they are lucky enough to win from gambling, so they don't need to gamble anymore. They can continue gambling another day after enjoying their winnings or resting.

Some strong teams have lost against teams that are not seeded, which is probably because the team that is not seeded can put up resistance against strong teams. They can persist with their strategy and turn around to pressure strong teams until they can finally win. This often happens in many matches and not in football, so we should be aware of this so that when analyzing a match, we can think about the possibilities that could happen. That is why achieving the winning target we want is difficult because of changes in situations that can occur in the match. Hence, we must adapt by adjusting the number of bets and targets we want to achieve. If we don't have the opportunity to achieve the target we want, we should be able to understand it and stop after winning.

On the time that  you do make yourself that desperate on acquiring or earning something then this is where disaster do really starts because people would really be seeing and believing on things which arent even that realistic anymore and this one would really be causing up that huge mess into their lives. Potential winning limit? There's no such thing about limit because once a gambler could be able to win up money on the time that they do play gambling, they would basically be continuing it on playing and having those thoughts and having those beliefs that they could make more.
Until they would really be able to see things and realize that it cant really be just that possible because we do know that gambling doesnt work that way and also
odds is always against us.

I think amount doesn't matter. Its important to bet on a perfect match and enjoy it. If i fix a certain amount for weekly or monthly then I need to give extra focus on amount during gambling and then I will keep gambling until I gain that fix amount. that way can drive me in wrong direction where I need to stack on more usual games. Thus i start worrying about that expected amount and won't fully satisfy until it gained. So i don't have that kind of potential winning limit. If i win then its okey, i lost then that also okey.

I have heard and read about people gambling because they had no source of income,  a job or they wanted to add gambling as part of their streams of income. Whatever your category the bottom line is that we all gamble to make money though some group claim it's mainly for fun. But who would want to be losing money all in the idea of catching fun!

There are gamblers that don't place their bet not until they have gotten a certain amount as their potential win. Some do this based on their financial challenge with the anticipation that just one win they may get on such amount is a life changer for them.

My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?


First of all gambling is not and can never be or source of income and anybody that eventually wants to take it as a source of income, you'll be doing that at your own detriment. And for those that claim that the gamble for fun, I still don't see the fun in losing money, you can only say gumble is fun when you are in the winning side but if you are in the losing side then gambling is no fun at all. Because I don't think if there's anybody that will lose money and call it fun. Gambling is a 50/50 thing, so having a specific expectation of how much you intend to win before you call it a quit is totally a wrong idea, let's say for instance you intend to win $1000 and then you start off with $500, maybe you have an immediate problem you need to solve with $1000 but only have $500, and then your expectation is to go home with $1000 and then you start with your $500 and win up to $800, normally $300 is a big win and enough for you to leave with, but just because your target and expectation is $1000 you continue to Gamble, now what is the assurance that you can actually hit 1000 dollars?? We all know that gambling is a game of luck so if your luck for the day was enough to take you up to $800 from $500 now what is the assurance that covers you that it is going to take you up to 1,000 dollars?

For me, having an expectation of how much you intend to go home with is wrong. I just Gamble and whatever I get. No matter how small I just go away with it because I might never know what will happen next.

Campaign Management?"Hhampuz" is the Man
Most gamblers, at least those who do it regularly and possibly have a problem, will not have any sort of limit built in to their winning upside and often take all their winnings to plow it straight back in. You're trying to frame this as an activity where most people have control and are taking calculated risks, but often they are simply guessing and finding enjoyment from the buzz or habitual nature of the activity. I have not come across many gamblers, but the ones I've seen often look a bit robotic - like they are trapped in a nasty cycle of self abuse and look fairly miserable (when thinking about people sat around in slot machine arcades). That makes me think there is zero strategy involved and even if they did have a big win, it would probably not even outweigh all the money they had poured into it up to that point.
While some individuals do engage in gambling as a form of entertainment or to test their skills, a significant portion of gamblers, particularly those who gamble regularly or excessively, often exhibit problematic patterns. The allure of gambling lies in its potential for quick and substantial financial gains. This potential reward is often overshadowed by the high probability of losses. Many gamblers tend to chase their losses, and then try to recoup the losses. This behavior often leads to a vicious cycle of financial strain and emotional distress.

The repetitive nature of the game, coupled with the intermittent rewards, can create a mentally loop that reinforces the gambling behavior. This can lead to a state of detachment and a loss of control over one's actions. The notion that a single big win can outweigh all the previous losses is a fallacy that often traps gamblers in a cycle of addiction. The overall pattern of losses far outweighs any occasional wins.

The kind of gestures where they are living with that alluring hallucinations that gambling can be a great place to make money, were in reality
they are being used as a medium to make money for gambling business owners.

With things like this overshadowing the reality and what gamblers always desire is to make some decent amount of profits, that will be the starting point
where self-control will be dominated by aggression and adrenaline rush.

And expect unusual behaviors that will cause a person to lose a lot of money.

And this what makes gambling industry is really that become that a profitable business because gamblers would really be having that common behavior or reaction that they will be that playing again because of certain
emotions and views that they do have on their mind on the time that they'll be dealing up with gambling. We do know that once you do suffer losses then you would definitely be that trying to chase.
Even if we do say that you are really just that playing for fun but you would really be ending up on chasing or creating that kind of emotion and this is something that will be felt out just because we are just
humans and it isnt really that shocking nor surprising with this kind of approach.

Potential limit? Sky is the limit since we humans are naturally greedy and this is why it will be that normal that we would really be asking for more.
When we do win then we do believe that our luck is still there and we would be continuing and maximizing it as much as possible until you will
be losing it all.

Gambling as a source of income is risky; hope typically outweighs reality. Interesting, the human mind remembers wins above losses, which skews our opinion of gambling's "fun" side. Isnt it strange that we call wins skill and loses luck?

Setting expectations is important. Gambling with a fixed budget is like chasing a mirage. Understand the odds and our psychological biases - not just the money. Ironically, we alter goalposts to get "just a bit more". This thinking reflects a deeper issue: our reluctance to accept smaller achievements due to the appealing, yet often elusive, promise of bigger wins.

That makes me think there is zero strategy involved and even if they did have a big win, it would probably not even outweigh all the money they had poured into it up to that point.
While some individuals do engage in gambling as a form of entertainment or to test their skills, a significant portion of gamblers, particularly those who gamble regularly or excessively, often exhibit problematic patterns. The allure of gambling lies in its potential for quick and substantial financial gains. This potential reward is often overshadowed by the high probability of losses. Many gamblers tend to chase their losses, and then try to recoup the losses. This behavior often leads to a vicious cycle of financial strain and emotional distress.

The repetitive nature of the game, coupled with the intermittent rewards, can create a mentally loop that reinforces the gambling behavior. This can lead to a state of detachment and a loss of control over one's actions. The notion that a single big win can outweigh all the previous losses is a fallacy that often traps gamblers in a cycle of addiction. The overall pattern of losses far outweighs any occasional wins.

I have heard and read about people gambling because they had no source of income,  a job or they wanted to add gambling as part of their streams of income. Whatever your category the bottom line is that we all gamble to make money though some group claim it's mainly for fun. But who would want to be losing money all in the idea of catching fun!

There are gamblers that don't place their bet not until they have gotten a certain amount as their potential win. Some do this based on their financial challenge with the anticipation that just one win they may get on such amount is a life changer for them.

My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?


First of all gambling is not and can never be or source of income and anybody that eventually wants to take it as a source of income, you'll be doing that at your own detriment. And for those that claim that the gamble for fun, I still don't see the fun in losing money, you can only say gumble is fun when you are in the winning side but if you are in the losing side then gambling is no fun at all. Because I don't think if there's anybody that will lose money and call it fun. Gambling is a 50/50 thing, so having a specific expectation of how much you intend to win before you call it a quit is totally a wrong idea, let's say for instance you intend to win $1000 and then you start off with $500, maybe you have an immediate problem you need to solve with $1000 but only have $500, and then your expectation is to go home with $1000 and then you start with your $500 and win up to $800, normally $300 is a big win and enough for you to leave with, but just because your target and expectation is $1000 you continue to Gamble, now what is the assurance that you can actually hit 1000 dollars?? We all know that gambling is a game of luck so if your luck for the day was enough to take you up to $800 from $500 now what is the assurance that covers you that it is going to take you up to 1,000 dollars?

For me, having an expectation of how much you intend to go home with is wrong. I just Gamble and whatever I get. No matter how small I just go away with it because I might never know what will happen next.
