Gambling addiction is currently rampant, most people gambling currently are taking gambling as source of income, which they are always doing everything just to win, even when they are losing they don't give up, they keep on gambling hoping they will win, one of the first mistake gamblers are always making is taking gambling as source of income, gambling should be for relaxation and fun and not your source of income, if you take gambling as your source of income, then you will easily get addicted and you won't even know when you will start taking loan and selling properties just because you want to gamble.

Gambling addiction is something that I see many control easily, they have a hard time doing it and from what they have said things get out of control, I don't know what is worse,falling into the habit of drugs, alcohol or being addicted The bad thing about the casino and games of Chance is that the casino throws you off at once and how does it play if an addicted player doesn't like to play with play money, if it were with play money there would be no problems, but that's with real money and not being in control and losing all the time is worthy that you need professional help.

Addiction is not something to be controlled with ease, it's as simple as that. Now it doesn't matter what that addiction is, when it comes to gambling, people who gamble a lot are basically gambling addicts, and you can barely find someone who finds it easy to just stop gambling, they may try at some point to reduce the time they spend on it, but eventually, they will start adding to it again.

So it's pretty obvious that it's not easy to control gambling addiction, and that is the reason why everyone suggests that one should gamble only within his limits, by not spending much money or much time on it.

Gambling should never be used as a way to make money or solve financial problems it is important to only gamble with disposable income and never chase losses. Keep track of gambling times and amounts to stay within your limits if you feel this is becoming a problem, don't hesitate to take a break or stop altogether gambling can become addictive if not done responsibly. A gambler needs to take complete control of their gambling activities to be successful. People who cannot take full control of their gambling activities must refrain from gambling people around the world enjoy gambling but they do so responsibly.

But wait let me get some clarification on that assumption that gambling should not. Be taken as a means of making passive income, even though the gambling risk factor is higher than any other venture that provides passive income. Gambling can change one life in a twinkle of an eye and also it can ruin one life, but gambling objectively is what makes the big difference and in as much as you can control your gambling behaviour.

But there is truly no certainty to. Whether one will win or lose while gambling so it is not a good means of income because you will certainly go bankrupt if you continue gambling excessively.

Do people still see gambling as a potential passive income's source? I thought that by now, in full 2023, after the sudden popularization of online platforms since the previous years, everyone were already aware about gambling being an entertainment activity to kill the time and to have some fun.
If during this hobby activity a gambler gets lucky to win a decent prize, he should consider himself a winner who belongs to the small percentage of gamblers who are able to hit the jackpot and make good use of it. Otherwise, that he continues his gambling routine without prejudicing his financial life spending money which is supposed to be used for another sectors of his life.

I personally budget my gambling funds so that I won't regret if I lose and I still have money to comeback my losing next time I play the casino. I'm also one of those gambling addicts before and I learned how to properly manage myself real hard after losing so much money. I believe that not everyone of us has a way to manage our gambling habit, which I also believe that those person are the one who lose really hard in gambling.

It's great to know that you've overcome your addiction and that you're no more an addicted gambler, which means that we can control on our emotions, all we need is the will power to do that. But generally, as you said that those who don't have the way to manage their gambling habits lose really hard, I believe that they must go and consult to gambling advisors to help them stop doing it because this habit won't only ruin their own life but will also affect their family members if they ever think of gambling through loans and credits.

Making wrong decisions

Gambling might be the cause or lead to many things but, one thing I don't think hails from gambling is 'making wrong decision'.
There might be reasons as to why you might have considered this to be gambling related but, this is simply behaviour and an ability to judge. Gambling has no hand in reasons why, individuals chose to act or behave in a certain way.

This is solely dependent on the individuals rationality. People gamble and become so addictive to gambling but, are still able to make good decisions in other spheres of there life. Should you pick a wrong bet while gambling, we can't say you made a wrong decision, you just picked an option that didn't play out and that is you, running out of luck and not a wrong decision.

Quote from: Stedsm on April 19, 2023, 10:23:26 AM

The only money you can't think about even after losing is the money that you CAN afford to lose. Let's say you lose even $10 and then a thought comes to your mind that why did I gamble, I should have bought a cup of coffee or a packet of cigarettes instead, then it's not the money you can afford to lose because if you do, such thought would not have come to your mind at the first place. So, gamble ONLY with the money you can afford to lose. Making money with it needs luck and if you're lucky, get out with some money you won and just enjoy with it. Don't get stuck in front of your mobile screen playing those games continuously because continuation of it will only make you lose everything in the end. Even if you double up your money, just withdraw it and go out, party with friends and leave gambling for that day. Set a fixed amount that you can afford to lose each month, then divide it by 4 and use the outcome each week and enjoy. Wink

I agree that regretting that you lose does mean that you don't have the money that can lose and it simply means you are just an irresponsible gambler. Of course most of us want to earn profits in gambling but there are others that don't have the initiative to manage their funds. I personally budget my gambling funds so that I won't regret if I lose and I still have money to comeback my losing next time I play the casino. I'm also one of those gambling addicts before and I learned how to properly manage myself real hard after losing so much money. I believe that not everyone of us has a way to manage our gambling habit, which I also believe that those person are the one who lose really hard in gambling.

Gamblers must know already what they are trying to risk for and that's the huge amount of profit and satisfaction, for sure all of the gamblers are seeking only profit, not all the time gambling casino could bring this dream because only a few people with skills, and luck have the chance to get a good profit, and it's not a lose to the casino because upon having there's winner wisdom of mouth can easily spread and gain more players so the small portion of the winner can make a good return to them. A gambler must ready for the possible loss, so better to have a backup funds if you can and make a plan and target on how much any how does it take long to gamble.

From some of these arguments we get the answer that gambling is fun and enjoy every luck you get. Betting for fun using money you can afford to lose I think is better than having to think of gambling as passive income.
Let's just say that we are lucky to get a small or big win as a bonus when we gamble for fun without expecting anything big.

Don't chase your losses.

Gamble Responsibly.

It's actually easy to say or advice this kind of things but believe me it is really hard to follow it. I think you will be responsible gambler if from the start you already practicing how to be a good gambler. For example from the start you managed to practice how you would manage your bankroll, practicing not to exceed on your weekly budget and especially controlling your emotion whenever you are losing.

The most important thing is that we can care for ourselves while gambling and always pay attention to the limits.
And if you feel you have had enough of gambling, stop immediately and don't try to play one more round because that can make you want to play gambling even longer.
If you feel you are not strong enough to control your emotions, try to keep learning so that you can become a responsible gambler.
Gambling responsibly is difficult but we must keep trying so we don't lose much money.

Do not build any dreams around gambling at all.

Maybe these words are suitable for beginners, sometimes it all starts with the dreams of beginners who want something difficult to achieve so they try to find luck through gambling, that's what must be stopped, never dream of getting rich from casinos, there are many out there those who become poor because of gambling because they play irresponsibly and do not play wisely until they become addicts to the point where they are willing to lose assets and also owe debt everywhere to play gambling. Gambling must be prepared with the risk of losing.

Never gamble too to pay for the necessities of life, because that is clearly impossible and very impossible especially not many people do that to make ends meet from winning at gambling machines, I think this thread can be a reference so that beginners can read it before really playing gambling .

Beginners are random. They only try it because they are curious but the phrase are better applied in experienced gamblers. They have lots of winning moments apart from losing moments. One day they will only find their selves day dreaming about the things that they will do once they earn huge amount in gambling but this is hard because in order to win big you need to risk big as well.

It's either you start with a big bankroll or you will run that small bankroll non-stop until you achieve your desired amount. They think gambling can make them achieve those difficult things easily but actually, gambling made the difficulty twice. The saying is It's true that the hard path is better to venture than the easier one.

When we are gambling, there are some safety precautions we can always take heed to, we have to constantly pay attention as well to the moves in gambling especially on games we are playing, part of which is also expected of us is to watch a d exhibit moderacy, caution and gamble responsibly in other to avoid everyone seeing us gambling or know us as a gambler, this is a way of being diplomatic in gambling while maintaining our integrity.

most of us can easily advise people or gambler about how and what to do, but the main issue here is that do we really care? or do we really mean this to come at?
because the main problem here is that gambling is truly irresistible mate.
while many wanted to earn from gambling is the more losing they got and the other problem is that they can even chase those loses.

It's your job as a player to gamble responsibly. All the casinos have to do is provide the necessary tools to achieve that and respect your decisions. The Curacao authorities aren't as strict as regulators from Malta or the UK, so who knows how much they pay attention to Responsible Gambling mechanisms. A quality casino does.

Yes, it is gamblers that should discipline themselves about how to gamble responsibly, we should not be addicted and we should not use more than the amount of money that we can afford to lose.

It is not even about Curacao, Malta, UK or any other licencing or whatever, the regulation needed to deal with responsible gambling is just not yet existing. If it becomes to exist, privacy will continue to reduce in this no privacy world that we are now.

Quote from: Pmalek on April 18, 2023, 11:11:35 AM

But a properly licensed casino allows you to self-exclude yourself and put various other restrictions on your betting account. That includes deposit limits, loss limits, time limits, etc. You can't lose if there are tools that prevent your from transferring more money than you configured.

The real self exclusion is from the mind, not from the one we are seeing on casinos.

Well, many people can manage their addictions, but also, many others cannot. Gambling, in particular, is thrilling and all-consuming for many gamblers - they lose track of time and money once they get caught up in it. I've seen it happen with my own eyes in real life.

Yeah. While I'm not entirely sure, but it seems unlikely that someone can develop a gambling addiction by playing with play money. Gambling addiction is often driven by the thrill and risk of trying to win big. It's possible that when there is no real financial stake, gambling becomes a less risky activity for people with addictive personalities.

Many people can control gambling addiction you say?
Who is the person who can easily control your gambling addiction?
Gambling addiction is the most frightening thing and must really be limited so that someone does not become a gambling addict.
You need to know that no one can control gambling addiction because when someone is addicted to action without being able to think long and his thoughts are only on one goal, namely being able to continue betting and pursuing a win.
Even you can't control yourself when you become an addict and you can't control your addiction, but you can still limit it.

Gamble for fun only, using small money that you aren't needing, and think about losing that money first, to make sure that you won't be needing the money if it's gone.

Huge red flag right there. It all starts as a fun and game. Until you are already too deep into it. I agree that it should be only for fun. But as you keep making wins and losses, it will become an addiction without you realizing.
In many Third World country, people choose it as a way of living. The thing you can do in gambling with a small amount of money really attracts those people trying to make a fortune for themselves. They put all their money in gambling and in the process they become poorer. They do not have any separate savings to use only on gambling. It's a common mistake that they make. I was addicted to it sometime in then past. But when I realized that it is harming my situation. I quiet.
But the OP is really great. Really inspire me to get back to it with a proper plan and strategy this time. But I think it will be difficult for me to get back to gambling again. Who knows, I might end up doing the same thing again.

I think he was talking about himself, not the hardcore addict where he will keep gambling without eat and force anyone to give him money in order to make deposit. If he ever met or his family have a hardcore addict, he won't say like his.

This is like he have a friend who struggle in financial, his friend keep complaining how to get a job to fulfill it's daily life, but the @OP say it's easy dude, just pray and hardwork. He can say like that because he can earn $40/week which is a good amount of money in third world country.
