Topic: Don't Gamble with the intension of having fun but to make money - page 3. (Read 2952 times)

Yes, and that is the reason why before playing we must understand how casinos work, how they should be managed at all times and above all how to play in a casino, the house advantage, which is what many players ignorantly do not consider, then taking these things into consideration it can be concluded that the player has to know these basics of things, and considering this then you have to play intelligently, like imitating the money to spend in a casino.

If you play casinos to win does it mean that you are sure of the decisions you take when playing these games? Cause the last time I checked casino games are Strictly based on luck, playing to win means you are certain about the outcome of the game. I do agree on the fact that gambling isn't an investment as some might consider it to be, this is a wrong mental frame that can make you lose a lot of money. In my opinion no one should even have the intention of making money from gambling in order not to get your hopes up, stake what you can afford to lose so that whatever the outcome might be you won't be affected.

It would be nice like that but sometimes a gambler in just half the game they have forgotten or lost all the mindset that had previously been planned well and perfectly because the gambler really can't control himself when he sees victory seems to be in sight.
In fact, these thoughts and feelings may be the opposite of the reality in the field. Agreeing that playing responsibly is indeed the best step, but gamblers have different strategies, for example, as we said, by having a high emotional sense of victory, it actually triggers losses that are getting closer.

Reading your statement reminds me of something that I think is a fact that what actually makes gamblers disappointed, emotional and regretful is all caused by hopes or expectations that are too high for victory, which of course defeat will certainly cause disappointment and emotions that may be significant and on the other hand as we know that this emotion is what often leads a gambler to various actions beyond control.

On the other hand, what you said is true that victory is what often makes gamblers excited and overconfident so that they do not hesitate to take various actions beyond control, and the last from me to overcome various excessive actions and to be able to become a responsible gambler, they must first understand what and how the risk side of this activity is.

One of the reasons why many of them still see gambling as a place to make money is because from the start they are too focused on the chances of winning, they misunderstand what and how the concept of winning and losing in gambling actually is because it is a fact that usually most people will focus more on something that seems more profitable like getting money but their biggest mistake is that they don't know that this is a business for casinos where casinos provide winning opportunities just to lure people to be interested and involved in it and casinos already know that the majority of people will definitely focus more on winning opportunities and that's where casinos make a lot of profit from the losses of gamblers slowly without the gambler realizing it.

So it is very natural that for example a gambler actually loses a lot of money instead of making money when they come with the aim of pursuing victory, because the more the gambler focuses on winning, the more excessive the actions and decisions they take, on the other hand, yes gambling is not bad, this is a playground for people who have boring free time but unfortunately only a few of them are able to use their common sense properly and correctly.

Yes, however, if we like to gamble, we must be able to do it with a good sense of responsibility so that there will be no major losses later. because many people have experienced major losses because they gamble irresponsibly for gambling or their actions in the gambling they do. Apart from that, when we win, what we have to do is stop, even this is good to do when we lose because this is one of the responsible behaviors in gambling.
The absence of certainty about winning in gambling must be our benchmark for gambling responsibly, for example, when we win, what we have to do is withdraw it immediately because even if we continue the gambling session, it will not guarantee that we will be able to win again.

I think that before we bet, we should have a mindset of not creating great expectations as if we were creating a pair of socks, gambling is not for that, for many gambling is like an escape valve for problems, in terms of good practice, you definitely say the right thing, playing responsibly is always the best option, however, players get excited when they start to have consecutive victories and end up leveraging and using multipliers and end up getting frustrated.

People do make out some realizations at the time that they are experiencing problems but on the moment that they arent still facing up some issues then they will really be that trying out to do as much as they could on what they are currently doing now on which it is really just that too much when dealing with gambling. Its true that if gamblers does have that upperhand against these online casinos then we will be that definitely seeing on having tons of these businesses would go bankrupt and this is something that you will really be that needing up to realize beforehand, because on the time or moment that you do make out such imagination or belief into your mind then you will be having that kind desperation on playing up gambling because you've been thinking that you can definitely making up some assured money or profits on which this is really that very wrong. When you do treat up gambling to be some sort of money making thing then it will be definitely be giving out that different situation or outcome on which you do go rather broke or having that huge issue about financial if you do tolerate out such urge on playing gambling. Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible specially on how you do spend up your money or simply having the limitations but on the time or moment that you will be going excess with those limits then this is where problems do starts.

You are right. If gamblers don't pay attention to this fact, they are going to develop serious problems related to addiction. The previous dose is never enough to generate the same pleasure on the next session, so they have to spend more and more money, besides putting more time into gambling in order to feel satisfied after placing some bets.

I risk saying gamblers think they are pursuing money, but after a while what they are really seeking is pleasure, through hormones like dopamine. Losing or winning money is a consequence of the hormones acting on their bodies and making them feel excited and thrilled. Such emotions are addicting, besides being completely ephemeral.

It's important to look for another activities which are also emotionally rewarding for the individual, so he doesn't become addicted to gambling.

The results tend to be disappointing and for people who cannot accept it, they will definitely feel upset with their increasing feelings such as upset which can be angry or frustrated as you said. And it is not strange that many people get angry when the results they get are not in accordance with what they get.

I myself think that the results that occur, whether winning or losing, can make players addicted to gambling if their mindset in gambling is to make money, not for fun, I was initially like you by assuming that victory was easy to get, but after I experienced an incident, it made me aware and finally limited gambling in a disciplined manner.

That's it, if you know you're for the money then be ready to accept anything either win or loss. Because what have noticed in gambling is that one can not just winning nor losing always it all boils down to how lucky the person is at the moment.

But most time the rate of losing usually higher than that one of winning so as a gambler one need to be careful during his staking of game , to avoid spending more than he can afford or risk.

Well, gambling for fun literally doesn't mean we're playing casually with the games on prediction but just a way to chill off and not take the activity too serious that we fail to accept every outcomes as they surface. Because failure to do so is how loss chasing is cultivated. Gambling shouldn't be a means to settle on making income, if you get into it with such mentality you could be shooting yourself in the foot  either by getting on with addiction problems or ruining your finance. Don't interwoven gambling with investments the two phenomena are widely different and should be handled differently.

Making gambling a place to earn income just because someone gambles using their hard-earned money is a very wrong mindset, as you said that it is totally wrong and yes I also believe that the person is on the wrong track in their involvement in gambling. However, in general everyone does gamble using their own hard-earned money and to be honest I don't understand how the OP's mindset is here, in my opinion it seems like he is either a gambler who is on the wrong track or not a gambler at all so he says that gambling should be used as a place to earn income just because he sees the opportunity to win in it. Basically gambling is an activity that runs based on probability, no one knows what the results will be before they finish the game and how can an activity be considered a place to earn long-term income if for example everything depends on luck and that is the reason why it is better to make gambling as entertainment.

When one chases after something for a very long time and don't get it, the end result is anger and frustration, which sometimes might be a very good thing because it can help the person to retrace his or her steps.
I remember vividly when I first came into gambling, I had this mindset that winning was easy and that If I gambled for about a full month or two, there is no way I wasnt going to win a huge amount of money that could change my life forever.
I started gambling every day with the hope of making good money, but this was not happening, and after about a week of playing and not winning anything, I got angry, frustrated and began to loose interest in the gambling, so also did my mindset about gambling also began to change, and later on, I came to understand that gambling can best be enjoyed when we do it for fun and not to make money by all means.

I can say that winning in gambling gets people more addicted to it, than losing.

I think it's due to dopamine
when you bet you make a series of hormones adrenaline, dopamine and other things that generate well-being circulate in your blood
so people are unconsciously taking drugs and this drug is addictive and like all drugs it always requires higher doses..

They play video games because of the fun that they get from the games. That will not be different when we use sport betting because we also get the fun things that we want. I play video games in the past and found the fun things as you and that will be the same as when I play the gambling games in the casino. So we don't have to gamble if we don't want and just enjoy the moment we play so we can have fun using the games. But when you want to gamble, you should know that you can not always wins so it is difficult if you gamble because of having intention to make money. It is better you choose the have fun reason in gambling so you will not frustrates when you lose your money.

Well that's right, I'm sure that if most people can use their common sense correctly then they will definitely have thoughts like yours when they see gambling, logically as you said that if gambling is an activity that can give us long-term benefits or what I mean is if gambling can be used as the right place to make money then surely no casino will be able to survive in the long term, most of the casinos will definitely end up bankrupt.

But we can see that in reality now there are more and more new casinos popping up, and that means isn't gambling a profitable business for casinos? I think it's clear, and also another reality is that most gamblers who come with the intention of making money actually experience many problems in their lives, especially in terms of finances, some even end their lives, that means gambling is nothing more than a playground.

In fact, many people are quite obsessed with winning in gambling and they tend to end up sadly because they lose a lot of money or go bankrupt. In my opinion, it is clear that if we gamble with the aim of getting money, then we can experience something like this where we can become obsessed with pursuing victory.

Everyone's different views are natural, but at least we must be able to distinguish between good and bad things as well as the consequences that could happen to us, even though we have to take risks once in a while, but don't forget to consider everything, especially by looking at what we do.

You would be right if you were talking about investments, stocks, crypto, real estate and others, but gambling is more of a playground and aimed at all types of audiences. It should not be considered an investment because the chances of losing are higher than those of winning. The house always wins, otherwise there would be no reason for it to continue operating if everyone only won.

Play only for fun, repeat this mantra and don't give in to temptation, control yourself so as not to become an addiction.

That's actually is but it becomes more stressful when we're taking seriously these losses and the amount of loss we've made is quite high.

Exactly. We're expecting too much when we gamble and that's why we feel that we're disappointed when we barely made some wins. This is the reason why many gamblers end up feeling that they need to recover their losses because their expectations are not met and they set it quite high.
