Topic: Do the juice Worth the squeeze? - page 3. (Read 914 times)

Number 1 - There are no benefits of gambling. It is a mode of entertainment and not a mode of making money.
Number 2 - You dont invest in gambling. You wager your money, put it to the risk and thus attempt to make money off it. You could invest in the casino's bankroll but that is a different thing altogether.
Number 3 - Chances are always 50-50 making it a dumb decision to continue playing on an on. Hence gambling should be limited to a fun game and not a serious money making scheme.

The OP seems to me to be another one of those who writes in this section but either doesn't bet or doesn't know what it's all about. Let's see:


No, the goals are very varied. The goals of good gambling would be to entertain yourself and, if anything, occasionally walk away with more money than you came in with. But if you bet on low-risk, low-return games, such as red or black roulette, your goal is not to win the most money.


If you bet all your capital, you're doing it wrong, you're doing it badly. It is also contradictory what you say because if you spend your time betting and it is from your other tasks you are supposed to have enough capital to continue betting. But having little capital, betting to win the maximum and spending your time betting in such a way that you neglect other obligations is impossible.


What I think is that at first when I saw your post I had made sense of it but when I analysed it I see that it is rubbish that you have written and that it deserves a neutral tag.

What you say is correct and of course this is not only based on experience but the various experiences of most gamblers, of course the same, where in betting with large amounts, the chance of winning can be quite difficult to get, especially when increase it, good opportunities are really invisible.
Everything will be different when betting only relatively small amount, all of us when betting small amount the winnings will be very easy to get but at certain time there will be some kind of ambition and desire to increase it.
And this is the real mistake where we are too ambitious so we dare to take bigger risks and in the end we experience failure that does not match expectations.

But basically the main goal is win and the odds will always vary depending on how we bet and where we risk our money, taking risks is natural thing in gambling but we have to have lot of consideration for all of this.
Although most betting odds are 30/70 as you have said.

In gambling, someone must of course be able to play bets according to their abilities, because no one can know for sure the winnings of the bets they play and it is true that when we bet with the capital we have, of course this will not be a problem for us. and choose to bet with large capital and if we lose of course this will be a problem for us and if we win of course we will be able to get a big win, but very few people can win their bets with the last capital they have, so it is important for us To be able to minimize the risk of loss by betting with capital that we can afford if we lose.

In Online gambling I don't think that Weight of the bet will not count because I believe that
the system adds weight in each high bets because in my own experience ? the more I bet smaller is the more chance I won.


it is more of the fun and excitement side than winning mate, I believe that when you are in gambling?
it is not about 50/50 chances mate but I believe 30/70 chance win/loss.

Gambling is very much unpredictable,  you can tell when to win . It is important for gambling with amount you can afford to lose, I know even if you play with a small amount of money,  it is not a guarantee to win. But it is still better when you play with amount you can afford to , I think with this it will affect you mentally like when you invest with what you can't afford then lose. Gambling is very risky no matter the amount which you play with. What has been killing much in gambling is when they play with amount that they can't afford to lose, it makes them to do things that are unexpected. The benefits of gambling are not always common, it happens as a result of luck.

True, gambling is for fun is the right mindset that will be able to keep you safe and comfortable in the long run, on the other hand I'm not saying that you won't lose in a gambling session because obviously gambling is an activity that always involves the possibility of risk, But one of the reasons why gambling is more recommended to be treated as entertainment is because when you address and treat gambling as entertainment then you will not be too excessive in treating gambling activities, and as you said here that they will only gamble when they have free time along with having some money that they can afford to lose.

However this is a healthy approach that is recommended because with this, you will not lose balance in terms of dividing the focus on each activity that you have in life, because a healthy approach is when you are able to make everything work in balance but overall of course it is better to focus on other more important things in life such as prioritizing yourself to focus more on your main job that has a guarantee to produce, and just make gambling only a paid activity that can relieve your boredom when in your spare time.

Gambling is for fun and you do it at your leisure so a reasonable person can't spend so much time on gambling and discard other activities or means that earns them a living so whether you win or lose it shouldn't be a prerequisite that you will invest all your time and money all the time, you can be playing gambling and still involve your self in other means of livelihood so that you don't get emotionally attached to it.

It is worth trying in my opinion but of course only with capital that you can afford to lose.I think it is worth with such money as if you lose you won't harm yourself that much while if you happen to win big then it is a great feeling.Personally I felt this feeling early January of this year when with 0.10 bet I won 1339 dollars in Return of the Green Knight slot,so yes for me as long as you don't use money you can't afford to lose is worth the time and effort.

You’ve got it wrong. The investment subject on this topic is the time and money invest when gambling. The OP is just asking whether the time and money put(invested) on gambling is really worth it since we all know that the common end result is just a loss.

This kind of question is definitely from user that doesn’t understand properly the concept of gambling since they are putting a time and money that should be on other things that is more significant. Gambling should be done during free time and using free money.

I think the chances in gambling are smaller than that, the calculated chance of getting a win of up to 50% is too high and doesn't make sense. Because of the reality that occurs in gambling, the chance of losing is always greater than winning. And clearly this is not worth the investment of money. Even though both of them have the risk of experiencing losses, the risk of losing money in gambling is greater than investing money. When making an investment, we can always predict the profit or loss well, but not with gambling and betting because the final result is random, so it is quite difficult for us to be able to carry out an analysis correctly, unless it is just pure coincidence.

And I don't think we should compare both gambling and investment because the goals are different, gambling is done for fun, while investment is done to generate long-term profits or be used as savings for the future.

Do I got it right, the idea of this topic is to again compare investment of risk with risk while we gamble. I think we have this discussed numerous times already. Even though final goal is the same - lots of money, gambling allows to achieve that quicker. Also it gives a pinch of fun. I havent seen anyone who is entertained or excited while investing Is it worth spending earned money in gambling or investing? Everyone makes his own decision what to do with his money. But you never know what juice taste if you dont try

As everyone knows that the goal of betting is to get the largest amount of money? Nah nah nah, maybe for you, but not me, what do I work for to deserve the largest amount of money? That's a greedy expectation, as a responsible gambler, my goal is to make extra money, not the insane amount, and that's why I prefer risking very small amount on gambling.

This is not a business or a job, it's not a source of income, I am just trying my luck, come to think of it, gambling is giving you a chance that's very slim to win over, this is why this chance is attractive to people.

I will never use my hard earned money to buy a fantasy, it's why I don't do lottery tickets, and this is also why I choose to right only small money on gambling, it is what it is, gambling owes me nothing.

It all depends on the objectives and how each person sees gambling.

For those who play just for fun, it is indeed wrong to spend a lot of time on games when it should be better used in other ways.

For someone who plays professionally, it is common and expected for that person to spend most of their time playing, just as anyone spends most of their life working.

Regarding expenses, it is also very relative between how much this person can risk... if money is not a problem then why not bet?

Gambling never promises you anything personally, lots of people gamble for the fun and relief they get from it, if you're looking for a job with a large pay, you can get one outside gambling to be successful. I must mention that you are engaging in gambling with a wrong mindset and that's why you possibly see it as impracticable.  There are equal chances of both loss and gain in gambling, and the quest to try out your skills shoulld be your driving force as compared to gaining maximum ROI. Observations have showm that those engaging in gambling for the sole purpose of getting rewarded consistently ends up frustrated in it, and most times being addicts.

You got a lot of things about gambling wrong. First off, gambling is never 50/50 in the real world. In an ideal world, where people are good with playing fair and not winning what they could acquire through brute force or technicalities they imposed upon the game, this could be the case, but we all know it doesn't work that way, if it does then casinos wouldn't be a surefire successful business venture in the first place. There's a certain level of edge against the house or the opponent no matter how you look at it, sometimes it's explicitly mentioned to make sure they don't get hammered by the law, sometimes it's kept a secret from the player since they deem the prospect of the money worth more than the jail time they may suffer.

You also got the idea of risks wrong. Risks are ever-changing, and in the case of gambling highly-dependent on your capacity. In practice and in paper, you increase your risks by betting large, and lessen the risks you take by betting small. That is why it's always a bummer to lose a grand, and negligible to lose a dollar. You can earn the dollar back easily, you have to work for your paper if you want the grand.

The idea of the juice being worth the squeeze is a little too vague as well. Cause at the end of the day how worthy something is, solely lies upon the person and what they deem as worthy and not. In summary, this post is nothing but a baloney in my opinion cause you're blabbering things you don't know and saying things that are otherwise not true. what the hell man.

Some of us gamble for fun or to relax, you should know that if you are playing gambling then you aren't invest, you are risking your money with luck.
If gambling is taking so much time from you that it is affecting your daily life then you should quit or take a break.
We couldn't really say if the profit from gambling is worth it if it is already taking up too much time from you that you couldn't even focus on other things.

Risk will change with the amount of money you are putting because gambling is totally luck so you don't know that whether you bet will be right or wrong so if you bet by using large amount then you can loss amount at once if your bet gets wrong.

Gambling can become a cause to waste your useful time because you will try again and again but neither you will win nor you can leave your lost amount so it will remove your contemplation from useful work and will engage you in gambling. Large number of individuals are gambling just for earning but some of them are a part of gambling for entertainment.

Gambling allows for any amount of money, but the players care for a bigger win. Hence, they are tempted to wager huge money. Gambling is a game that requires steady observation of money wagered and won. Empowering only the wagering aspect of the game, without a level up to know the ratio between the lost and won money, puts the player in a deep loss. It's never simple to gamble properly with lots of money in the bankroll. When a player is monetarily equipped, his goal will be for bigger compensation from the casino.

The little wins wouldn't matter, unless he's been oriented on the necessity of wagering bit by bit, regardless. Any player that ventures into gambling, deserves to know the crucial importance of bit-by-bit long-term wagering motives. Financial problems have led many people into gambling, which is not meant to be a criterion for becoming a player. Desperation instead of aspiration as a gambler, ends up endangering the long-term good results a gambler expects. Looking out for transient results leads to addiction.

Yes for the problem of the impact they will experience always depends on how their point of view on gambling which will ultimately determine how they treat this activity, there are two choices and as you said above about whether they will treat gambling as a place for entertainment or to earn, all of this depends on how they address gambling activities from the beginning of the introduction which will also ultimately cause different reactions and responses when the situation of defeat.

But honestly in my opinion lately more people are trying to make gambling a place to overcome financial problems in the sense that they gamble to earn such as to overcome debt problems or improve family finances, however this is the wrong mindset and point of view on gambling which in the end proves that they even experience many problems in their lives, especially in terms of losing balance in finances because they are trapped in a cycle of addiction.

One of the reasons in my opinion is that during the introduction phase they only see gambling from one side and do not see it as a whole, especially from the possibility of risk, usually people focus more on "profit" so that it makes them feel excited because they think that they have found a good place to earn, this usually happens when a gambler manages to get his first win which in the end makes them lose a little awareness to think rationally that actually the possibility of risk can never be tolerated.
