LMAO. Preaching in the desert. You are writing this in the gambling section of a forum where gambling is and historically has been of great importance. A forum about bitcoin, a currency whose first area of expansion was precisely in gambling. Where most of the people who are going to respond are advertising gambling casinos in their signature. I mean, your message is very commendable, but if you want it to have any impact you'd better find another place to launch it apart from this forum, as I doubt anyone is going to stay off gambling for having read your post.

Exactly, the wrong mindset, over-reliance on gambling to make a living, Not only that, people rush into gambling and think that is the easiest way to become rich without even thinking about a strategy that they can apply and have more wins than loses, though luck is involved too, I have seen many people that bet the wrong way and greed having been another problem why the majority lose money, for instance, have seen gamblers in my area who's if their bet does not accumulate to 1 million they will not stake their bet, meanwhile they are combining up to 10+ games just in a single slip hoping to make a profit.

I'm glad you were able to quit your gambling addiction. It is an effort that you should appreciate. We may find it difficult to change our financial status through gambling because we gamble with money and there is a possibility that we will lose that money. And if you have realized that, that's good for you and I hope you can do better.

People who previously had a better life can change quickly because they are introduced to gambling. They can also quickly become addicted to gambling without realizing it. And of course, their finances will be disrupted too so they won't be able to have a life like before. And it happens to people in your environment.

We can only gamble responsibly so that it does not affect our lives. With all the capabilities to prevent gambling addiction, we can use gambling as a form of entertainment. And it's true that we can't expect gambling as a source of income. We should look for sources of income from other places.

Totally true.
I agree that the younger generation should avoid gambling as early as they can. Don't let it consume you because, in the end, you are still a loser in this industry. But for those who are already inside, please be responsible with your money. I think sports betting will be a good source of taking the chance to win because it requires analysis before making a bet. Somehow it will stretch the money in our wallet and maybe it will also help us to control our gambling habits, just don't chase the losses and try betting on a sport that you don't know blindly because that will be a foolish decision and a waste of money.

People who stay in the gambling house to look for fortune are those who often find misfortune for themselves. The gambling house is not a place to make money, but rather a money sink that a lot of people often fall prey into. If they did honest work and actually tried to make money using the traditional way, they would have gotten far better in life. However, people are so used to get-rich-quick schemes that they are just wasting their time and their money by looking at the wrong places.

Starting gambling with thus mindset is very risky,  it can lead one to to become gambling addict. People who go addicted into gambling was because as a result of generating money from it as source of income.  Gambling is a game one has to be careful of so that it won't be affected by one's activity.  People became addicted thinking that they can make money from gambling all the time.  

Their is no way how gambling can change your financial situation because gambling itself is uncertain which  you can't tell if you can win a game. It is wrong to consider gambling as a way to attain financial stability,  this will definitely turn one to be gambling addicted.

Agree. Ideally, we gamble for fun/entertainment. If we get the prizes, it is just for a bonus.
Unfortunately, nowadays, many people think that gambling is a place for earning money. The fun/entertainment is just a bonus.
This mislead mindset triggers more addiction cases because people assume it is no problem to gamble excessively because it is the effort to earn money.

Well, I don't know why people consider gambling as a source to get income. I'm sure most people know that it is always difficult to win in gambling. I guess many people are unemployed or lazy find out jobs in real life. That makes them to rely on gambling for income sources because they think playing gambling is easier than looking for a job.

It should be obvious from the start that once you put yourself into gambling, you are facing a risk of losing instead of winning. You don't have to be serious about making money in gambling because that is a crazy idea to rely on it as your source of income.

A source of income should be giving you regular money and gambling is not even close to a criteria like that.

If you gamble for the sake of a money-making scheme, you are really crazy and expect the worst.

Why shod anyone actually take such a risky adventure as a means to earn a living,  gambling that is as risky as hell should be avoid by all means and for such anyone that should ever play them should do so based on the fact fhat gambling is just for fun and to ease pressure in form of entertainment and shouldn't be done at regular basis this is because a lot of those that have hard issues from gambling all incurred such issues the moment they begin to build a castle in the hills.

Chasing an unrealistic aspect is not true gambling but rather tha  gambling abuse on yourself.

You have the wrong mindset that gambling turns your money status into a big one? That's not the case, gambling is not a place to get quick money - then you are mistaken.

You have realized that gambling can lose all if you are not able to control it, in responsible gambling it is necessary but there is no need to be overly aggressive determine the percentage you want to spend, no need to expect to win quickly real gambling is luck.

To avoid gambling for those who are addicted is good, but for those who are wise in doing it it is not a problem for them even just for fun.

Yes gambling os originally meant for entertainment but a lot of forks have hard a misunderstanding around it and have taken gambling to be a means to earn a living,  this has made matters worse over time and a lot of them already have cases of loss that they may possibly not be able to recover from in a long time to come,  but also a lot of other who at some point took gambling for the sole aim of entertainment but when they start winning big amount then charged the mind to take gambling as means to earn passive income all failed in the attempt.

Gambling was never intended to make it as a source of living, even if you do consider yourself as a good sports betting predictor or a poker player but still it wont really be ideal on making yourself that
relying with those gambling earnings or winnings which you would really be that depending on it because we know that we cant really be lucky forever. Gambling isnt bad as long you would really be doing things in moderation.

The only main issue on here is on the time that a certain person would really be hoping for something like being that rich becomes in gambling which it would really be making yourself that
putting in huge danger.When you are still young then curiosity would play into your mind on which whenever you do look it interesting then you would definitely be tending to dive in and would really be that engaging with it and this is something a very casual thing to happen. Devastation on your finances would definitely happen if you wont really be that mindful about your spending.
Gambling could impose such risks if you arent that wary about your actions or you are really that partly delusional when it comes to it.

This has been discussed before a thousand times here in the forum, the first mistake people make when they get into gambling is having the mindset that they can become financially stable once they start engaging in gambling activities, if you can’t accept the fact that gambling is for fun then you are bound to lose more of your money.

In anything you do, when you have high hopes if you fail to achieve that thing you’ll become extremely disappointed but if you never thought of that thing too much and it turns out to be a sham you won’t feel a thing and that what gambling is, if you depend or put high hopes on it you’ll only end up regretting why you ever engaged in it but if you just go there to have fun you won’t have that much disappointment… The early the better that bettors start to realize that if they need money they should look for a job the better for them.

This as has been the issue for being irresponsible gambler, and sooner or later you’ll suffer more because you choose to gamble like this. If you want to have a more happy life then don’t complicate your life, always be responsible and choose to be more happy instead of stressing yourself to the things that you cannot control and in gambling, its the house who always win.

what more can i say? gambling has detrimental effects on you and your family if you don't know how to contain yourself when in front of your games. but if you are responsible enough and you know your limits, and you know when to stop, then you won't have such problems. people are just blaming gambling itself but they forgot to see who is really in control how to stop things from happening. it is the gambler himself. now, if he doesn't know when to quit, then, maybe, it is time to re-consider his choices.

You know gambling is actually interesting if you aim for a simple entertainment, but if your reason to gamble is beyond that, that's when gambling becomes bad for us. We all know that any one who risk to gamble will certainly experience thousands of losses at first before they can make winning profits, that's how uncertain gambling is. So if you think you are not ready to lose, then always be responsible not to enter gambling.

There is a warning that I give to each person that ever ask me for help with gambling I always stare to them very clearly about the danger of gambling and how it can ruin the life of the victims and this is why most of the gamblers fail to keep in mind and have affected the total well being in some cases,  but much as that be,  we should also consider a lot of other factors that makes people depends on gambling as a means of earning a living even though that is a bad choice.

Gambling for fun and gambling with only the money you can lose is the best way to go on gambling and at that anyone that do otherwise could have a bad resultant effects on several things because when you take gambling as a way to earn a living,  that mentality will push you to gamble more and in that process become addicted at some point.

The responsible gambler had a free hand to take any decision,he can quit the gambling any time.The responsible gambler will use their own money and doesn’t use the money of their friends or loan amount.This alone made the gambler to not answer to any person for the loss.If the free money was loss in the gambling,the gambler can get back at any point.No one will urge the gambler to give the loan money,this will reduce the money pressure on the gamblers.The emotion handling at the early stage was the important to the gambler to get away from the addiction.

Thank you for what you convey, also from your experience. But before you tell us about the contents of this thread, as well as the title of this thread, we already know and understand very well what gambling is. and what the impact of gambling will be, if you don't have guidelines such as understanding, responsibility and self-control.
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with what you said. in fact, it might even provide some insight for connoisseurs who are just starting to gamble.

However, For me personally, the point is not the betting shop or the casino platform. but for ourselves, including you.
My question is, why can you become a gambling addict. and the answer, you can keep it to yourself.
for me, it all comes back to us and how we view gambling. I experienced the evolution in gambling, from traditional gambling, land. based casinos to online fiat casinos and crypto casinos. The point is, the name of addiction is no different between then and now. addiction is addiction, period.

However, based on my experience, and as my understanding grows wider, what makes addiction is us ourselves as users. then, how to avoid addiction. the answer is not easy, but it's not as complicated as we think. In essence, it all comes back to how we view gambling. If we don't want to become an addict, we have to change our mindset. make it a fun part of your entertainment, without having to expect winning rewards in every game session. Bet according to what we can afford, without involving money which is our basic basic need, let alone using savings, it is not recommended. If you lose today, try to always divert it to something else. otherwise, our emotions will be dominated by anger which ends up chasing losses.

It's better at early stages you teach your child the advantages and disadvantages of gambling if you don't want your child to associate in gambling, what I know very well that is good in gambling to efucate whosoever you know that don't want to participate in gambling to know the implications, because the implications of gambling will make a child who planing to join gambling to go back without joining gambling, so I believe that when someone joins gambling and start losing big money their us nothing will make the person to withdraw from gambling because it's interior motive will be to recover whatever its has lost and that will make the person to become gambling addict.
