Indeed, losing in gambling is commonplace. And don't gamble if you don't want to lose, because losses and losses in gambling are certain. But the victory is based on luck and your skills when playing gambling. but there are still people who act silly and continue playing after losing in a row and that only deepens the losses we experience. and this is what we must avoid.
and it is true that we must continue to strive to gamble responsibly. When we have made an effort there are two possibilities, namely; succeed and fail. Meanwhile, when you just stay silent without any effort, there is only one possibility that you will become a failure.

When a person already knows the risks he is experiencing or is facing. then a person will continue to look for solutions to deal with all of this or they will try to avoid these risks.

Looks like you are exaggerating broo.. If you speculate that the government must first succeed in banning the production of alcohol, hard drugs, cigarettes and marijuana and so on. This still provides benefits, especially when talking about narcotics, it is very beneficial in the pharmaceutical field. It is not the production that must be prohibited, but the distribution that must be controlled because many people still abuse it.

likewise with gambling. it is not the gambling activity that must be stopped because this will be rejected by various parties, but in gambling site advertising it must be controlled because I reiterate that those who are and are involved in social media are not only adults but also many children who are not old enough. So promotions carried out by gambling sites must be controlled because this can attract people who are not old enough. have not been able to control yourself properly and think carefully. can join in gambling.

I agree with your statement when you said that casinos pay their marketers really well, this is so true, I think when it comes to service that pay the highest to influencer or streamers, such service is the gambling casino, I've previously read on Reddit, how Stake paid a streamer $1 million dollars for a couple of stream shows I believe, since I personally can not believe that any gambling casino, no matter how rich, will lavish such an amount of money on single stream show ..

So yeah, marketing have indeed become a very lucrative profession, but then, doing this without skill and experience, and no one guilding you can be really really frustrating.

Yes, marketing now is a business that anyone can do, and they don't have to work very hard, the streamers who are now doing things, live broadcasts and everything we can imagine, but those who are dedicated to making live broadcasts with a specific casino they can have the opportunity from that casino to get paid for good advertising, and it is not bad, because a casino can always pay very well and those who get into the marketing business, if they do it well They earn a lot of money and that, based on what they can do with a casino, is double what they can achieve, so it is a profitable business.

It's an easy access nowadays and like what you mentioned social media or those who are streaming online give that idea to many both old timers and newcomers, with that streaming videos that being shared online interest attracts more people to try some luck, they are being influence especially if those people behind is someone that they are following.

I used to remember those comedians who at first they are just sharing funny reels and videos but eventually they become influencer and advertisers of newly created gambling sites, not sure what happened, the last time I know the site stop paying those gamblers and streamers act as they are also victims.

Banning gambling streams is like infringing on human rights, gambling streams is not the reason why people get addicted to gambling, people get addicted to gambling because they lack self control, so even if online gambling streams were to be banned, gamblers who lack self control will still get addicted to gambling, I have a friend who does not even own a smart phone or computer, he has no access to the internet, but yet, he is addicted to gambling..

If some things must be banned to reduce or stop crime in our societies, then let the government first succeed in banning the production of Alcohols, hard drugs, cigarettes and weeds etc. All this things cause more crimes to be committed in our societies than gambling addiction.

From someone who have two brothers in the family that are gambling addicts, I will like to correct you that not everyone knows that gambling is going to make them to lose money over and over

I have a brother that was introduced to gambling by his school friends, they just introduced him to gambling and he had no clue about how one will mostly keep losing to the casino, he just went ahead and threw all he can.

It was when he kept losing that I heard about his addiction, I was the one that explained to him how casinos are wired, gambling only benefits the makers themselves, not the gambler, I told him to start using what he can afford to lose and when he win he should stop gambling.

Right now he is no more into gambling, but he still gambles once in a while, but at least he understands how casino and gambling works, but honestly not everyone understands this, most people knows after they lost a lot of money or after they become addicted.

The marketing strategy of the gambling site will be very spicy and it attract the gamblers of other sites.It also attract the people who never gamble before,the people will try for one using the bonus from the gambling site.If thy loss some money,then some of them stop the game.Other will start to gamble for the longer period.The live streaming of video in social media should be banned,because it made many people into the gambling addiction.The social media should take responsibility on this steaming to avoid of many gambling addict and many crime in future.Help your gambling addiction friends to get away from the gambling addiction and advice them with kind words.

This was influenced by the streams watched by people.  They see that some streamers are able to won 1000x to 120k times of their bet.  And people are getting encourage to do this make big money fast thing by gambling on the same platform their favorite streamers are playing.  Little that the person knows that it is hard keep winning in gambling let alone the 1k to 120k times of the bet.


I highly agree, people have different levels of luck.  Aside from that, chance-based gambling games have different result so one should not think that he can duplicate the amount of winning of other people.  Instead, a person should always consider that in gambling the chance of losing is higher since the casino has this thing called an house edge.

You need to prove things in action and that's really difficult to accomplished, I mean it's easy to say that you can gamble with full responsibility but once you got deeply engage, the chance that you will got addicted will change all the directions of your activities, more on follwoing your lust and desire to keep playing and that word about being responsible will surely be forgotten,.

Yep, actually someone who is addicted is a little complicated to explain briefly, or just through a short discussion.
IMO, the point of the problem is not addiction, but rather our behavior which tends to think irrationally. what makes it difficult for us to stop gambling sessions is when we lose, not when we win. At first we just play for fun, but when we experience defeat, the thought often arises that in fact soon we will win, whether it's a jackpot or a high reward. which in the end, our emotions will be involved. What started as just having fun, turned into a pursuit to recover losses. in short, in most cases that is what happens to us gamblers.

Well, according to the theme of the title of this thread, gamble responsibly. but in practice, it is not as easy as we say. In practice, it is not uncommon for us to always involve emotions when carrying out gambling sessions. These emotions will greatly affect our mindset, not infrequently our thoughts become irrational. What is important for us to understand is that gambling contains a lot of risk, losing or winning is part of betting. just having control is not enough, but it must be accompanied by understanding and responsibility. well as, awareness. If we lose today, realize, there is still another day to have fun again. without having to be influenced to chase losses. However, the problem is not as easy as I said.

Gambling streamers really influence gamblers and even people who have never gambled before. There are still some gamblers who are still influenced by gambling streamers, which makes them increase their bets like crazy.
With many gambling streamers doing live streaming videos via social media, this can influence someone who has never even gambled to become a gambler. And in my opinion, live streaming videos on social media need to be limited because this is very dangerous and even someone who is not old enough and has the ability to control emotions well can join in gambling. Because remembering that it's not just adults who are members of social media, but many children who are not yet old enough are also members of social media.

It's true that people do have different vulnerabilities, so get to know yourself before gambling. I might stay away from gambling if I don't have confidence in myself to control myself, but if I can control myself, I will definitely continue the game to gamble, many people want to gamble because they want to get rich quick and see streamers make big money so fast.

Always looking at someone's luck is not right, because gambling has to come from yourself, if you want to gamble, always understand the meaning of losing, because there is always a risk behind gambling, you don't always get profit and money straight away, there are things you need to understand there, namely risk, always gamble with a healthier mindset, let's just say we pay the casino to make a game that makes us happy, don't be interested in getting money and prizes, but focus on our mindset. convince yourself that winnings and money are just bonuses, it will help us not get trapped with gambling addiction. 

Everyone has a different level of vulnerability to gambling addiction. And this can be influenced by their original purpose of joining gambling. If their main goal in joining gambling is just to look for fun and more excitement, then it is likely that they will also gamble appropriately. And then there are also those who join gambling with the aim of getting the biggest win because they remember that gambling can multiply the money they bet to make it even bigger, and this is also what makes someone continue gambling until they lose control because they are too focus on winning. Ultimately, this can make someone very susceptible to gambling addiction.

You should not allow yourself going into a phase or condition that you are already on the brink on making yourself that totally wrecked out by gambling on which it do leaves you on having no money at all or the

time that you would be sleeping on the streets, or had been leaved out by your family just because of the irresponsible act that you have done. We know that it isnt really that something shocking on what gambling could really be put you on such condition or situation on which it would really be leading out on a phase on which you would be thinking on taking suicide if everything you do see that there's no solution into it. If you wont really be making yourself that responsible then you would really be ending up on a disaster specially on gambling where spending money would be always be the main act to be done.

Be responsible and be mindful about your gambling spending so that you wont really b seeing yourself on a situation where you are struggling already with your day to day living or survival.
This is where people do usually miss out on doing so just because they do blinded up themselves on acquiring profits on gambling which we know that its never been simple
and totally relies or depends on luck.

Your thought is like a saying ( the reflections of your self, once you respect yourself then other will respect you too.) Like for example on what you've mentioned above if we are responsible for gambling then other can see too that we are responsible.  But for me being an responsible gambler is too hard cause you need to be active and also you need a strategic moves in order to be called that we are a responsible gambler.

How often do we see ourselves as a responsible gambler in what we do, we could get to a certain stage in gambling and we know by ourselves how we give ratings to what we do, if we don't see ourselves as a responsible gambler then how do we expect others to have that look of being a responsible gambler in us, we should try as much as possible to be the best representation of our image in
while gambling for others to see and emulate in us because we are a responsible gambler.

You are right and I completely agree with you, knowing the dangers of something does not exempt one from becoming a victim of that thing if he or she indulged  in it, and also, constant losses in gambling does not stop an addict from gambling even though at the end of it, they're always in regret for the money lost, that will regret is mainly for that period or for just that day, give them some time, they will get over it easily and find their way into the casino again.

I had a friend who was an addicted gambler, and after losing money he never expected losing, he will go home and cry all night and swear never to gamble again for the rest of his life, once his back from work the next day, if you look for him at home and he's not around, look for him in a nearby casino and you will find him there gambling again, this is exactly what gambling addiction does to gamblers who are addicted .

I agree with what you say. Gambling addiction is difficult to stop and not many people can do it. That's because they have lost self-control before, making them want to recover their losses and regain their winnings. Becoming a gambling addict doesn't require much. If he loses control of himself, he will gradually develop a gambling addiction because he can't stop thinking about gambling. And even though he knew the risks behind gambling, he would not think about it because he already had a gambling addiction. So overcoming gambling addiction is not easy.

Unless that person has the awareness to cure his addiction and has the work to try to recover from his gambling addiction, he can do it. But if not, he will remain in his gambling addiction and it will be difficult to cure him.

In this scenario, vulnerability occurs as the number of gamblers who are addicted to gambling increases by the day. We're willing to accept anything in the system, but being able to manage ourselves will undoubtedly save us from further insignificant losses. Addiction exists in the region, and numerous gamblers face the prospect of being addicted to gambling while they are desperate to gamble. Responsible gambling should be the first thing that comes to mind, yet most gamblers always go down the wrong route and afterwards regret their actions.
