Sometimes I just really want to gamble because I miss the excitement, but I know should not do it, so I just play some games in demo mode with fake credits. After im done, I don't feel like risking real money anymore. This is a good technique to stop gambling in a stupid compulsory way.

I feel that urge to sometimes.
But when i try just playing demo coins or fake credits.
It doesnt feel good. or it isnt just right for me.
I just feel like its im just gambling in the air.
The excitement and the feeling is really not the same when betting real time.

I know, it's just not the same, it's like having sex with 10 condoms on or something, it's better than nothing but it's lacking something. I guess the people are really addicted to gambling will not have enough with some demo fun.

Its not that,im really addicted in gambling this days.
But You know the feeling when playing real credits.
The nervousness you felt while betting, and the feeling when you won.
It cant be replaced. while playing demo. cant even feel nervous or even if you won. nothing fun at all.

Yeah I am familiar with those feelings. I was at some point gambling in stupid ways and learned the lesson the hard way, nowadays im never going to risk BTC, im going to save as much as possible for the long term, and only start gambling again once im confident with my stack which can never go too low.

demos can be a reason to get hoocked in gambling if you win in demo mode you will directly go to start gambling so demo is a way to lure people into gambling

Exactly, new people may not interested to start the gambling because they might have read many places gambling is not good and it will ruin the life. But when there is a demo mode available than those people thinks that they are not really gambling so they will play but after some time if not all but many people will become a real gamblers.

Actualy this is somewhat how I started... I won 1 BTC in the bitcoin video casino slots, I thought "damn, this is not that hard, I got 1 BTC the first time!" but then of course, with real money I was out of money in the first 5 spins, amazing! I was mad and thought it was rigged.

This is the trap most of the casino's do. I still believe in demo games there strategy is completely different from actual games. In demo games they will allow you to win most of the time but with real money they will make sure they will win at the end. So gamble carefully and do not fall on these traps and also use good trusted sites to gamble.

Demo mode can be a dumb idea. Maybe you will double your fun money and then think "Maybe I can make bitcoin with this..."
Then you will deposit bitcoin, and lose it all. I only use demo mode when I want to try a game out .

Gambling without money is a waste of your time. No actual risk involved, and no profit. Just seeing a green number makes you feel happy, even if you are still in debt.

And if you just happen to make a big win, and don't actually make any profit, you'd get an idea in your head that you could make that big win again. And then you get into gambling with things of real monetary value.

In my opinion, demo mode encourages you to gamble.

I can't play with fake money, so it would do me no good. The only reason I like gambling is because I'm risking something, otherwise I would play a game with a good story or graphics or strategy etc.
I could play poker with credits, but I see that every time I do that, people there don't take the game very serious because they are not risking anything and the game gets ruined.

That crossed my mind a long time ago but that is not the best thing to do for me. If you want to gamble and you don't have funds then don't gamble and either go for a walk/run or something fun with friends.
Don't waste your time on demo games as most of the time they will let you win and get you excited until you borrow money and go play for real and lose.

I'm glad it works with you. I don't really think I have a urge to gamble or anything like that. I do it regularly, specially on poker and sports betting but when for any reason I have to spend a long time without playing I don't face any problems with it.

One thing I can't do though, is to play with credits. Part of the fun in gambling for me, is the risk it carries, so If I remove that out of the equation it just loses "meaning" to me. I can sometimes play poker with friends without risking money, but only If they are new to the game, otherwise we just play with real money.

Not exactly fake gamblers as users who have no experience in gambling use the demo mode for a while till they actually start investing money. Not everyone starts gambling with real money and demo mode does help a person to plan their strategy and start real gambling.

I'm skeptical of these sites that our l purposely let you use a demo mode. You're just wasting their time, bandwidth and power to generate random seeds. I personally think these are rigged to make you feel you have a good chance, when in reality, when you play with real money, you don't.

Or maybe it's just me, with extremely good luck on demos (I roll 0.01, the lowest number possible, first try) and horrible luck with the actual gambling (I lose 5 times in a row on a 90% win chance)

You can do that, but don't believe you can win a lot in a real mode if you win a lot in demo mode unless you are super lucky, in demo mode, casinos set very high expected returns, they can set it over 100%, so it lures players to play in real mode(low expect return in real mode), and they win a lot in demo mode but lost money in real mode.

So what is the point of gambling anyway if you only used demo mode with fake credits? You wont get nothing on it and you will waste your time by doing that. At least you can deposit a little amount to play it and try to control yourselves. May be 0.01 credit to try is not too much for trying some site after winning it just withdraw it. There is no need to stop gambling by doing demo play, you can stop it by yourselves if you can control it although you are using real money to play

Sometimes I just really want to gamble because I miss the excitement, but I know should not do it, so I just play some games in demo mode with fake credits. After im done, I don't feel like risking real money anymore. This is a good technique to stop gambling in a stupid compulsory way.

Nope... It feeds my urge instead.

Not for me as I have good enough confidence in my self-control that I will only spend an affordable amount in gambling. I only use the free money mode to test the game, mainly to check if it is provably fair as it claims to be.

This method looks good, but I personally gamble curiosity and usually always wins in front when I came back to play and Defeat, this makes me curious and looking for ways to win by making free trial. after feeling confident with my new experiment back to play with real money win in front then lost the next. This cycle makes people addicted to gambling Grin
