Gambling can change your financial  status only when you know how to gamble very well, but what matters is that you should know your target in gambling, its base on our mentality, so someone who is into gambling mainly suppose know in plan concerning gambling, and secondly when poor man gamble it will use all his or her hope in gambling and that is why a poor person think that they are not benefiting with the gambling, why the rich people play gambling to benefit and also play without benefits and secondly gambling us luck and it's not something of skill

How did you get here? Isn't it because you're still gambling online, which lead you to this forum and its gambling section?
The appeal is nice, but in reality young people who are not gambling, or just starting by betting popular sports, or spending a few bucks a week on dice, will not come here to read your post.

Beginner gamblers don't have time to read gambling forums and you won't be able to tell them anything. Hardcore gamblers will read your advice and understand they should be more careful and gamble less, but most of them won't do anything about it.

I want to use this medium also to advice you to mind your business and avoid the gambling board since you claim to have stopped gambling, it actually makes no sense for you to read that the forum found it befitting to have a gambling board only for you to click it to type such messages.

There are people who make it from gambling, and some people gamble for fun, just like almost everything has the good and bad side so does gambling and I don't think gambling might be the reason your friends were like the way you saw them (they may be having other issues).
Trading also is a risky business also buying and holding some coin is as well risky but people prefer to see gambling as the devil when there are close similarities with other things we do for financial gains.


What I have come to learn is gamble with your emotions in check, don't gamble with what you can't afford to bear if lost and finally learn to call it a day.

If they go the lane where you experienced the realization, they may not lose thousands before realizing they were milked harder. Gambling however is hard to resist, even those who are trying to quit and divert their attention to sports only, will still stray sometimes back to playing blackjack.

I couldn't say the economy today will prevent gamblers from gambling more actually. I think it will keep them gambling because the more they need to win more.

I assume you are an adult and for an adult gambling isn't a bad activity to partake in as an adult except it were to be kids below +18 depending on your county's legal gambling age.

Your  motive for gambling was what was bad and just like many others who thought gambling could be a source of income for them they also got milked dry and heavily addicted in it. Playing gambling can't  make you rich but owning a gambling shop or casino can. This is the difference between the player and the owner.

The player should understand that he can always get the optimum satisfaction of entertainment and fun from gambling but can never get rich from it. If you are to stuck your guns on getting rich through gambling you will like a mishap ship get sink to bottom, wasted.

If you you go to casino shops or any physical shop and ask them to show you the number of people that bet and the number of people that double their money in that moment, you will not be shock because you will get exactly what you have in mind, only few people and the majority will win nothing, that's gambling for you, there isn't any effect in it than this, it's negative but the society love it, didn't you see that people always go back to have nice time, that's because some people love the fun and doesn't care about the losses, it's when you carry it as a place to win daily bread you suffer in it. However, there are gamblers that are doing gambling everyday with their skills and strategy but few in number.


Let me tell you something. Betting platforms look at many factors before they launch that businesses and you know why, it's because they know that people don't have Jobs and means to make a living, even the ones making the money aren't making enough to pay bills and other stuff, the job factor alone is enough reason for gambling platforms to keep having customers because man must eat and they see gambling as an alternative to risk their available money. It's good that you are airing voice to the young ones but they will do anything legit to have money if there is no any other way and gambling is just one of them, so if you want t lend voices for people to stop gambling, lend it to government officials to provide jobs for the people, atleast that alone will reduce number of gamblers around the globe.

Your problem was believing that gambling is a way to make money. For 99% of people it isn’t, and the 1% that it is, it boils down to dumb luck most of the time. Gambling should be done for entertainment and when it stops being fun you should stop gambling. Most people would be served well by gambling without any funds at risk and see if they actually enjoy it or if they enjoy the fantasy of riches.

You should consider yourself lucky that you are able to quit the addiction and return to living a normal life. No matter how much you lost in gambling over the years, in the end, you are out of the addiction with only losing your money but still having your life. I am saying this because I have seen people never coming out of this addiction until they themselves get so stuck that they commit suicide or take their lives themselves to an end by all this stuff.

If someone teaches the reality of gambling, no one will make false hopes of getting quick rich. This is only for short term entertainment, that's it.

It depends on the level of ypur luck since you literally gambling in chances. It’s not true that you need to lose first before you win since chance works in random basis while casino typically can’t modify the result not unless the casino is rigged. But you can huge amount even without losing money first. It depends on your luck if you will win early or not.


I do agre that those under age should stay on gambling not only because it’s illegal but they should focus on study to find a decent job so that they can earn money which they can’t affod to lose.

If you think of gambling as a way to make money, that is the worst thing you can do and it will not help but will be the easiest way to gambling addiction.

Gambling should be for fun and any money spent on gambling should be considered as loss even before gambling at all. The money I can not use to drink beer, I can not also use it to gamble. I do not go beyond my gambling budget which is small and can not affect me at all financially if I lose all.

There is no way better than to have a business or a job, rather than thinking of gambling to make money.

You should not take gambling as what will give you profit but take gambling as a means of entertainment and you should only gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose. It is when you think that you can make profit from gambling that you will end up chasing your losses and become an addict along the line.

Set aside your gambling budget and don't gamble more than that amount so that you don't regret your actions. People who don't understand gambling are the ones think they will hit it big and they will end up losing everything in their bankroll. Gamble responsible by having self-control over your gambling activities.

What did make you believe gambling was going to change your financial status? That was a wrong belief based in wrong assumptions. It seems you wanted that to be true, because it was a confortable mean to make income, much more enjoyable than working several hours a day for a minimum wage or so in the end of the month. Gambling isn't for people looking for a way to improve their financial status, but a hobby for people who already belong to a superior financial status and has money to spend without compromising their expenses later.

We should not avoid gambling but rather avoid having thoughts that this activity would give you wealth or an instant way to get rich ‘coz there’s no such thing. As we all know, once you’re caught up with idealization of winning that jackpot no matter what, that is when you would be having problems to quit. Best thing is to have discipline however, it won’t be simply implied to oneself. Gambling has indeed its own risks but the one who gives weight to that risk is no other than ourselves. We are too fascinated of instances wherein some players are winning big time without considering how many have lost huge amount of money from gambling.

Today I want to take a deep dive into gambling and how negatively it has impacted our society;

Growing up into a man I got used to gambling believing it will change my current financial status, which I was wrong, it was quite the opposite, not that am not seeing money, I was but I was too fix in making it through it.

When I finally quit the addiction, I realized that I was doing better than I even thought,

Fast forward to yesterday when I go into a betting shop to see someone, I was shock to see some of my guys in the neighborhood which I knew they where doing well, now looking wreshed an tattered.

One one thing I have noticed about gambling is that before you win a thousand box, they might have milk you of more than that.
[I just want to use this medium to appeal to the younger generation, please stay off gambling, if you must do so, gamble responsible, don't take it as your only source of living so it wouldn't milk you dry.
