Hmmm interesting, "people actually depend on gambling to make money " this is a statement I don't like seeing but notwithstanding some Hippocrates feel they can actually make steady money from gambling where as the case is different meaning gambling actually makes money from you on a daily basis. I hate to see people taking gambling as a way to escape from your financial problems because has made many folks become debtors but that I believe happens to only folks that see it as a must-do affair #addiction

Just as much as you dislike it, I don't think anyone is fully in agreement that a gambler should see gambling as a means of escaping their financial problems. Gambling can instead contribute to their financial problems, like being in debt, just as you have mentioned. Although some have taken the risk and got favored with a heavy win, some people have also taken a big risk in gambling, which has landed them in big trouble. Last week I read a thread (I think it was on the Nigerian local board) where a mother and her son were sentenced to prison for gambling off a huge amount of money that was not theirs. Also, there have been a lot of stories on the gambling discussion board about people who have landed themselves in more trouble because they gambled with money that was not their own.
I will like to say that those who landed in  trouble are much more in numbers than those that make big gains from gambling, majority of people that are in my vicinity are in debt because of gambling and most of them are addicted to gambling and they don't know how to put a stop to it.

I once tried to stop someone who is addicted to gambling but they keep promising that they will stop for good because have seen the damages that gambling has done to their life and the yet I was shocked when I found them doing the same thing again.

Gambling addiction is very terrible and probably unstoppable when someone gets addicted to it, it is a very bad thing to get addicted, maybe I've not seen those who are addicted to drugs and I may never be able to compare the two but gambling addiction is terrifying.

A people once a gambling addict then they will getting crazy because what ever we do to stop them gambling they will make a way to play or to gamble again. We have the same situation a friend of mine are too addict in gambling and We try to fix him but sad to say we will make a way to gamble again. And Accident happened to his life and one of his family died then that's the time he realize. That he is on a stage of being addict. So we can not change addict people all by themselves if they want to change then they can.

There's no point in achieving anything by gambling, because that's where addiction begins. All those addicted to gambling want to be something great in life, but choose the wrong path.

Here are some Negative effects of excessive gambling.

Too much stress
Anxiety and Depression
Debt
Making wrong decisions
Just looking at the negative effects of gambling alone is enough for a regular person not to get involved into gambling that much.
Problem is, they look gambling as like a way for them to become rich in a quick way. They look gambling as a way for them to make their life better. Worse, there are some addicted gamblers who are doing some bad things, and sometimes brutal things just to have some funds that would be use to gamble.

I will just share a true story of our neighbor here in our place. He got addicted into gambling. So much that he will sell all of the things that he has. His property, his motorcycle, his phone, everything that he has just to have money to gamble. He would even rob into our neighborhood so that he can have the money. Unfortunately, he is in a state where he's crazy, depressed, and we often see him begging from different people so that he can have money now not to gamble, but to buy foods. Overall, he got addicted to gambling, and now he is having a hard time to the point that his family members are staying away from him already.
That's basically what addiction does to a person, it's not only about gambling addiction but any kind of addiction, in general, will make you do things like that, you become so desperate for money and feeding your urge to do that particular thing that you won't even realize what you are doing or what you are selling all you think about is your addiction and that's it.

And yes, there are people who think that maybe they can make a living out of gambling which is basically not possible. All you can do in gambling, in the long run, is lose everything you have if you are not responsible.

I completely agree with your mate, most gamblers, and when I say most, I mean majority of gamblers take gambling as a means of becoming financially free, I have several of such persons in my area where I live, like an experience I shared some time ago here, one who quit his job after some series of winning in sports betting, he felt that was how the winnings will keep coming, but eventually, the winning stopped and now, he's out here in the street looking for another job, cus right now, he doesn't even have the money to feed well, let alone gamble.
Gambling addiction have destroyed many destinies, lives, and when i say, "destroy", it doesn't mean the person have to die, many today are living dead, that is they are alive, but have no purpose for being alive.
What happens is that there is a lot of people which fail to see a way out of their difficult financial situation other than to trust on their luck, and even if we were to explain to them that such a thing is a bad idea, as luck is not reliable at all, they may still try anyway thinking they have nothing to lose, however what they do not consider is that as difficult as their situation could be things can always get worse, and risking whatever small resources they have left in this way is a bad idea.
It is difficult to change this mindset because in this case there are several things that have damaged their way of thinking such as high egoism and too much view gambling as the easiest way.
But indeed things like this cannot be changed but on the other hand as long as the mindset is still the same as that, it will forever be difficult even though we remind them that gambling is just fun but on the other hand they are too hopeful about this which makes them always suggest again and again even though they have suffered huge losses because the ego has poisoned their minds.

Because gambling is not the solution if you're struggling financially. Some gamblers thought it is the answer for them to get an instant huge money, but unfortunately it's only possible if you're lucky to win. I also read about that story you mentioned and it's just one of the worse that gamblers can do because of their addiction.


But this is really the mindset of the people I've known, but it doesn't mean that they are addicted to it; they are just threating the lottery like this, which is why they are always buying tickets on a daily basis just to try their luck, which we can't blame them for as they want to get out of poverty even though they work hard and still can't get out. Though that is really the point at which the money intended to buy food goes to the lottery, which is not good, so far when it comes to the lottery, I haven't noticed that someone tends to use that money just to buy tickets.

It is fun to gamble especially if your main desire is not win but to entertain yourself. But this can change if you didn't limit yourself on when to stop and let anger (because of losses) control you to commit a decision that you might regret later on. So always be a responsible gambler who have discipline when playing if you don't want gambling affect you negatively because of your behaviour when you gamble.

I greatly agree, people who seek gambling as way to solve their financial problem ended up in a huge mess and big debt.  Instead of fixing their financial aspect, these gambler even ruin it making their situation worst than ever.


Although some have taken the risk and got favored with a heavy win, some people have also taken a big risk in gambling, which has landed them in big trouble. Last week I read a thread (I think it was on the Nigerian local board) where a mother and her son were sentenced to prison for gambling off a huge amount of money that was not theirs.

I think the money was theirs but they pretend to be innocent that they do not gamble the money and others move their fund for them.  Well, that is how I understand the case on that thread.  This mother and child are punished because they are involved in illegal gambling.

Addiction? A wild beast, right? Some folks, more prone than others, and it sneaks up in countless ways. Me? I've got a grip on my gambling game.

Yeah, I relish the occasional thrill, but it won't hijack my life. I've got other passions, a stable cash flow, and purpose. Gambling's just a zesty side dish, adding flavor to my day and maybe a few extra bucks.

Different strokes for different folks, though. If someone's all-in for a gambling career, power to them! Keep it in check, make a living, and I say, game on!

Hmm, really interesting. Gambling really adds a couple of bucks to your pocket, and there's no way you can see gambling as a way of solving financial challenges, which most gamblers really think is the way forward. Since you have a steady inflow of cash from another source, I really don't think you can rely only on gaming the way others do.

But not to criticize, any full adult that can make decisions for themselves really knows what is best for them and should go for it; gambling is full of fun, and the wins that come along, gives someone happiness. (Haha), I sometimes get too busy to even think of gambling, but since I love gambling on sports, my friends are very good at sending me some booking number,  I just need to put the number in the betting platform and stake the amount I want. The funny part is, sometimes I don't even remember checking if I won or if it got buste (just me being lazy).
I have an absolute understanding of what it means to play out of Necessity, at one point I did it and it didn't go well for me, the most sensible thing was to learn not to do it, but I learned that fun has its price, at one point I thought that when I would see a casino of again I would feel rejection but it was not like that, on the contrary, I felt more attracted, but not to play like crazy, but to play with the good sense and maturity that everyone should do, and for that reason, as I had an Experience that thanks to my maturity I was able to understand everything that our brain can do when Adrenaline kicks in and it Totally drives you.

Addiction is what the game really is; he might be right, but I don't see myself being so addicted to gambling. I can go a week or two without giving a thought to gambling without missing it. I have what I am giving full attention to that is fetching me monthly earnings, and I also have a few other things to attend to that put money in the pocket, so if I have time to gamble and make a win, I am happy, and I still enjoy the fun moment. But there are people who I think are professionals gamblers—not as if they make winnings every time, but they really use to make some potential wins, and they use the money to do great things too. Well, that's what they want for themselves, and as long as they are enjoying what they do and also earning from it, despite the loss, there is nothing bad in it.

But wait... Is it true that most gambling addicts also get addicted to drugs or alcohol? Because the few gamblers I know here almost used to win every day, I don't see any useful things they do with the money if not drinking, smoking, and taking some hard drugs. It seems that's just where all their money is going. (Anyone can answer this, please.)

Of course they will do that, because casinos also want to have an advantage and try to attract as many users as possible with promotions or something like that they will do.
Now here we have realized this, it proves that we already have the thought that we have to play responsibly so that unwanted things don't happen later. But not infrequently there are also people who are already aware of this and they even ignore it, and this is very dangerous, because terrible things might happen, like playing radically without limits for example.

Yes every casino have this kind of mindset that they will do anything to became famous and known casino in gambling industry and also it called business the more people try to play in thier casino then the more money will get from the loser gambler. So that money they choice to. Budget for thier promotions anyware I'm social media so that they can reach thousands or even millions of gambler out there and try to play with them.

They will try to reach out and find newcomers to use their platforms, and they will allocate a good amount of budget to make sure that they will be able to keep those gamblers who already using their services, I like to follow your statement that with more gamblers to play the more potential profits the house can take.

As gambling business is really a good way to make money if you will gain the trust and if you established your business with a good reputation for gamblers to use.

In the end they also need us but on the other hand we also need them so with this we must still respect the rules that apply but on the other hand the business people in this casino will not mess with the site considering this is a matter of reputation.
The more gambling becomes big, indirectly there are not a few complaints and problems every day so with this, good service is also very much needed to support this so that we as gamblers do not feel disadvantaged in terms of service. On the other hand, they will also benefit from clear big income.

Everything is important for a casino, the question is that the casino can show the value of their customers or players who will play on their platform.

        Then the impact is different when a gambler sees their supports accommodating when it comes to issues that a customer of theirs will face, and it can also responsibly be said that it is a simple matter that the casino immediately resolves it for a gambler. Because if they don't make gamblers feel their value, a casino's reputation will be easily damaged for sure.

Therefore it is best to set the entertainment goal over the profit goal. It also helps to avoid frustrations. Just enjoy spending within your means and only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

You are correct, but the truth is that people reason differently; there are people who take it to be more of an entertainment to them, whereas the winning that comes after they just see as an additional excitement for them. But either way, I see that gambling is just a two-sided thing, one for fun and another for gamblers to try out their luck and earn some money. There are people who really depend on the aspect of making money from gambling; some people also see it as just a side hustle, and others fully enjoy it as fun. So what matters now is what any gambler would see gambling as. While I love gambling for fun with my friends, I also enjoy the wins that come off it, which make me feel happier.

We are the ones who do control or making our fate and if you are a certain person who do loves to gamble just because you are aiming just for the sake on making money then you would definitely be messing up later on.When dealing up with gambling then you should really be that responsible because if not then you would really be experiencing some financial hardship or situation which it is something that we dont really like.Gamble responsibly and you wont really be able to experience problems or headaches since you've been that responsible and wary about your spending habits but if not then different outcome would be experienced out.

Always set limits when it comes to your spending and the money you would be using on your gambling session.You shouldnt really be that careless and spending like a madman and hoping that you you would
be making yourself that rich which we know that cant be possible because you would really be needing that extreme luck before you could be able to reach out that state.

And it's best if, after we get that pleasure, we can stop immediately so that the rate of our loss doesn't become too big. Many gamblers forget to stop gambling because they are too engrossed in gambling to forget the time. And that, of course, makes them lose more and more money. We want to prevent that from happening to us, so we really have to pay attention to our boundaries and not break them in the name of fun.

And don't be tempted by the bonuses the casino gives because that can also make us forget to stop. Playing in moderation and getting out of gambling when we are satisfied playing to prevent losing more money is a suggestion from a friend I always remember.
Well, one can't help it, if you are gambling regularly and have been doing that for a long time, you have probably become addicted by now, and that addiction makes you think that you will soon win a lot of money even after losing every day, and that urge to play more and you might win this time makes you spend a lot of money on it.

Sooner or later, you will realize that you've already spent all your money on gambling only in the hope of getting something back very soon but that never really happened, even if you manage to get some wins sometimes, you start thinking that you will double or win more with it and then you lose that as well. That's how gambling is.

As long as we can treat gambling as entertainment, we can still enjoy it and if we can get a win, that is a bonus for us and never try to get more because it can lead us to more losses. If people see it as a second job, they should think about the defeat they can get when they play gambling without limits for too long. It's better to use gambling for fun because that's what it is for us. It can prevent us from losing control of ourselves and money so that we will not be able to enjoy gambling as a pleasure.
If you want to make gambling as entertainment, sometimes it doesn't make us feel pressured to play, so we feel freer with the game, be it winning or losing, let's just say that it's part of gambling that we can't avoid, if we lose, let's say we are entertaining ourselves with the game, but if we win, we just withdraw the money then go to have fun entertain yourself too.

Gambling really has to be responsible and must be wise so that something we don't want happens, for example, making ourselves addicts when we lose makes us curious and sells all our assets to get money for gambling and in the end we lose everything, that's not wise but greedy and avoid greed from within us before playing gambling.

As long as we can treat gambling as entertainment, we can still enjoy it and if we can get a win, that is a bonus for us and never try to get more because it can lead us to more losses. If people see it as a second job, they should think about the defeat they can get when they play gambling without limits for too long.

LOL, I guess you are talking to core gamblers directly or addicts. A friend in this forum once said, and I quote,

And about them addicts – well, that's the name of the game.

Addiction is what the game really is; he might be right, but I don't see myself being so addicted to gambling. I can go a week or two without giving a thought to gambling without missing it. I have what I am giving full attention to that is fetching me monthly earnings, and I also have a few other things to attend to that put money in the pocket, so if I have time to gamble and make a win, I am happy, and I still enjoy the fun moment. But there are people who I think are professionals gamblers—not as if they make winnings every time, but they really use to make some potential wins, and they use the money to do great things too. Well, that's what they want for themselves, and as long as they are enjoying what they do and also earning from it, despite the loss, there is nothing bad in it.

But wait... Is it true that most gambling addicts also get addicted to drugs or alcohol? Because the few gamblers I know here almost used to win every day, I don't see any useful things they do with the money if not drinking, smoking, and taking some hard drugs. It seems that's just where all their money is going. (Anyone can answer this, please.)

I think this boils down to the priorities of a person gambling. If he/she gambles with the aim of gaining profit, then that person might feel devastated every game as they always aim for a win. If a person gambles purely for entertainment and for that adrenaline rush, then regardless of the result, that person would be satisfied with every game, thereby decreasing the chances of them being addicted.

This is the problem on what majority of the people feel since they view gambling as an activity of earning money. Sure, you can double your money tonight but it also carries the risk of losing everything at once.
Gambling with the mindset of doubling your money can carry great risks and lead to bad behaviors, such as greed and uncontrollable emotions. In order to play responsibly, it is important to lower expectations and have a realistic view of what can be achieved through gambling. It is true that gambling has the potential to generate financial gain, but it is not a reliable source of income. Gambling should be considered as a form of entertainment only, not a way to make money consistently.

In order to gamble responsibly, it is important to set boundaries in the game, be it in terms of time or money spent. In addition, it is important not to take excessive financial risks and always prioritize wise money management.

It should also be remembered that gambling can have a serious impact on one's finances and well-being if not properly regulated. It is important to always play responsibly and know when to stop to avoid any negative effects that may occur.
A gambler may be able to survive in gambling temporarily if he does not play controlled gambling, in the long term he may face many obstacles in his gambling life. One of those obstacles will be financial hardship. There may be more factors involved. Such as family problems, various problems including physical complications. Forum users always advised to practice responsible gambling. But if a gambler can dissuade him from these words, then there will be benefit. While gambling is considered a source of pleasure but many gamblers considered as a source of income. Gamblers who value the excitement of gambling more than the money, as well as control excessive greed, will be able to conduct responsible gambling.
