They do that because they think gambling solves their problems, so they keep gambling instead of looking for work. This is a normal thing, but it needs attention from the local government to give them the understanding that what they need is work, and it is hoped that the local government can open up jobs for them. But this is not easy because the government must also look at various things and calculate how many workers can be accommodated.

If you don't have strong self-control, you should not gamble because otherwise, you will lose a lot of money. Perhaps you wouldn't have thought you had lost that much money because you were just gambling without thinking about how much money you used. They gamble instead of investing because they can make a profit if they invest in the right things.

It is not supposed to be for people whose economical situation is not stable, right. But that does not mean they will quit doing it.
Actually, there was a time here in my country when we were going through and pretty bad economical recession, and it sparked a huge fever for gambling all around the country.
Animal Roulettes, which is a popular gambling game here, started to appear in every corner and there was people gambling everyday, amounts as low as 0,50$.

It is something I did not read about, it was something I witnessed, it was quite a sad situation and many suffered, I wish from the bottom of my heart your or anyone in your family goes through it.  
Because of it, I learn there must be some correlation between bad economical times and the need for gambling.

Well, aaar games for many have different ways of thinking, in families they are not so well accepted, I think it is because they have a way of being very traditional and therefore they do not accept this type of activities with good regard, however when I have seen to family like that, it's something that doesn't really fit me, because I think people have to adapt to the fact that life is very different now than it was before, and basically when people stick only to a Czech lifestyle when they become You have to mix with others to see how they can exchange ideas, that is, if there is an activity that you do not develop and do not see well, it is not very accepted, things and customs of the person change as life goes do it faster, with more activities, that's why I think that the families that are less complicated are the ones that accept things without having to do a lot of research, so in this order of ideas, I think that the best ways to leave everything behind and leave to think like grandparents and accept that there are entertainments like casinos and that does not mean that they are very bad, or that they are bad practices.

Casinos as well as other activities do not mean that they are Demonic things, as one day a lady told me that bitcoin is too, something that left me speechless, however, I Respect her and well, I didn't tell her more, he said no, that's it. They are myths that people invent, but well, I still know that with these types of things, eproans are very Carried away by the things that others say, and in general they are not good, for many caisnso I want to say that these are practices that They can go for addicted workers, and whoever is going to enter a casino is likely to become addicted and lose or could lose everything, I think that is also a lack of security because things are not like that at all, it can happen that As time goes by, people will adapt to this, as well as new technologies and the traditional economy will stay there and they will have to accept everything Related to bitcoin.

Gambling as an act can never be a source of income, one thing I observe about people playing gamble in my area, they don't have a job and all there focus is on playing bet, bro that's a wrong impression very wrong one. In as much as gambling is not for the weak, gambling is not also for the poor. The most funny part about gamble, people are abusing it and they're giving the wrong impression. Why will a young boy or man with no good job play gamble and expect gambling to give him wealth.
I know most people saying gambling is not for the weak and if you're not strong don't bet, that's a lie. When investing your money on something you're expecting a profit but rather no profit, trust me it pains a lot truth be told it pains a lot, in summary gambling is not for the poor.

The gambler should consider the gambling as the game and the most of the gambler want to get rich using the game.Their was possibility to get rich using the gambling site,the easiest way to achieve this was by the sports betting and specially on the football.The gambler should ready to stake the big amount of the dollars to get the big money from the gambling.The dreaming gambler should ready to take the risk of the money,I had come across some of the thread where some people recently get huge by staking in football game.So it’s important to take risk in the gambling for the good life in the future,the risk only give you huge winning.

The gambling is fine when treated as a game, the idea you have easy riches without any real risk or drawback is false but not unique in that illusion.  Theres a thousand places and adverts that want to sell the dream of easy riches and success and anything you want, you dont even have to try or apply much effort just buy in and its a win.  Believing adverts are real like is the problem really, it wont be gambling only that causes a problem if believing every advert is without some counter or small detail within the offer.   I see everything from cars to carpets I have to look closer at the details of the advert or offer, bigger danger with gambling is unlimited element to it I suppose.

There is no doubt that when we take everything into account the gambling industry is a net positive for society, as not only it creates a lot of jobs, taxes and it brings a great deal of joy to the majority that choose to gamble as a source of entertainment and as a way to relieve their stress, however it is also undeniable that in a few and specific cases it can be terrible for some people, which is why politicians over the past hundreds years have tried to ban it, a mistaken decision without a doubt as regulation should be the way to go and it seems this is the posture many countries are taking now.

Gambling should indeed be a subject of careful consideration. It's clear that this isn't a suitable avenue for a primary source of income due to its high risks and the difficulty of constantly relying on luck.

Engage in gambling with elegance, where the funds used are genuinely discretionary, sourced from passive income, or income that doesn't disrupt your daily activities or financial stability. This represents a responsible approach to gambling. At the very least, when you face losses, you won't end up in dire financial straits, ensuring you maintain a stable and comfortable life.

While the industry can be detrimental for some, we can also extract a positive aspect from it in terms of its potential psychological benefits, which might serve as a source of happiness to mitigate stress. Everyone has their own unique ways of coping with stress.

Of course it different but person who is only involved in gambling and can still fully control gambling activities does not guarantee that he can continue to control it because in the future there is definitely chance of becoming gambling addict unless he can stop and really look for activities other more positive activities.
It is impossible for anyone anywhere to be able to control gambling in the long term because there will be a boring phase resulting in crazy desires such as getting big wins and chasing jackpots to satisfy their desires.
It nonsense if there are gamblers who don't have the desire to win big or get the jackpot.

We know that the impact of gambling is very bad and there are always suggestions for us to continue to control or have limits on every gambling activity but all this is not a guarantee and if you really want to be free from the many impacts of gambling then there is only one way, namely to stop and leave gambling and never come back.

Gambling addiction is absolutely different from getting engaged in gambling and still be able to take total control of how one's gambling activities. Gambling addiction will surely make anyone who's suffering from it regret why he ever engaged himself in gambling.
Getting addicted in gambling will definitely ruin the affected person's life and that's why it's advised that anyone who can't control his emotions when they're losing as well as when they're winning should never get involved in gambling.

I see a lot of people blaming gambling for all sorts of things in this thread, but I think it’s also important to have some personal responsibility and accountability for your own actions. The fact is if you want to be irresponsible with your money there are a million ways to do it, but at the end of the day it is you that makes the decision whether or not to risk your money.

At least you yourself was lucky enough to give your self that advice that what you are doing is really not right and gambling is not what you should put all your hope and trust on as a source of income because you will end up losing that little that you think you have that could have been sustaining you while you look for better job elsewhere and add up to support your home.

You friends never had that chance that you have and maybe never also never had who will advice them to make the right decision which will put them in the right track, and now they have giving up on life and have failed to embrace opportunities that could have actually helped them in life to obtain that thing that they truly think gambling can give it to them.

Why you can just do for them is to use your self as a testimony and advice them to leave gambling and look for something better to do, most of them might have skills which they can put into good use and start making money for them self and limit the way they visit the gambling shop.

People like you who participate in betting on gambling platforms to change their financial situation are in the worst situation in life. Gambling should never become an addiction. Gambling should be taken as pure entertainment. Although we take this gambling as entertainment, we still expect to earn here. Many people get addicted to gambling in the hope of earning more. But thankfully you quit gambling before it became an addiction. If you had continued with this gamble from here, your future would have been completely destroyed. Gambling is a very bad pastime if it becomes addictive. Gambling should always be taken as entertainment otherwise you will suffer at any moment.

Out of the family circle friends will also be helpful. Either from school or outside. But since the pandemic happened, the younger generation lacks those types of friends and most of them are online friends only. But, it's still good to point out that this kind of relationship may help them get through addiction or they will be the ones informing the relatives of the gambling addict that he is in trouble.
Thankfully, we are going back to the normal ways, my kids today have a lot of friends in their school and they love talking now. More energetic, and don't use their smartphone as much as they did back when we were locked in the house.
Like I said, these friends of theirs will somehow become a part of their life and who knows if one of them will be their best friend and in case of trouble they will be the one who will inform us what is happening with our son/daughter.

The first thing that comes to their mind is that they'll be humiliated when they tell and admit that they're gambling addicted. And even without the addiction and just plain gambler, there's already the judgment on the minds of the people that will hear that.

Those who can avail an expert, can easily getaway with it through their guidance. The motivational videos and words that will come from will sink into their minds on what's the right thing that they should do.

This is hard IMO, if you are on your own and you're trying to work on yourself and try to defeat addiction it's going to take time or possibly that you can't just beat it. But if you're able to do that on your own, that's so much better and don't think about the money that you'll save from hiring experts to guide you but think of it that you're motivated and strong and manage to overcome that hardship because not everyone can do that based on how I've seen the other gamblers dealt this problem. It's just so many gamblers that can't do that honestly.

Not only chasing win to recover losses but also chasing huge wins.  Many gamblers are not satisfied with just a small winnings.  Most gambler tends to aim for 1000x or more so they don't bother winning 100x and keep on continuing until they either lose all their bankroll or hit their target winning multiplier.


I highly agree, once under the effect of these chasing, it is more often that a person will end exhausting his bankroll and at the same time his reserve funds because he will not stop until all his money is exhausted.


People got problems with gambling because the lose their control over their bankroll and finances.  Losing in gambling won't be bad if we only allocate money that we can afford to lose but most of gamblers who get hooked in their gambling activities spend more than what they can afford to lose.

Something that most gamblers do really have that kind of behavior on which tending out to chase up losses as if it could really be that ending up on positive always or something that getting in line with their intent.We do know that this is where people do really mess up with their lives on the time that they would really be that making such bad decisions because of being that impulsive.Its never been that a recommendable behavior specially on gambling field on which making yourself that too impulsive and making out decisions which it would really be making things to be more that complicated. The main key on here is to make yourself that responsible when it comes to gambling dealing so that you wont really be finding yourself to be that addicted because if you do such thing then you would really be messing up your life with.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible. It do really just turn out that people would really be that having that kind of main problem on the time
that they do make out bad decisions because if this one turns out to be handled up well then you wont really be making yourself finding on a tough situation since everything
is really that under control.

Most of the time if their families and friends are decent people who have no interest in gambling or something like it, they are shy to open up and keep their problem to themselves once they get addicted but in reality, they really need a second person to advise them or to talk with their problems and how to find a way to get out from it. thankfully, if you can afford to go to some expert about it, you can always watch some motivational videos regarding how to be a productive person and cut all sources of addictions. If you work by yourself, surely you will progress and eventually see a good result after it.

They can't take back losses yet they are chasing it. That's really hard to comprehend when you're too focused on the possibilities that you can and for that reason, many gamblers can't do that much with it and that's why they keep going on, especially the most addicted ones. There's like several reminders from other people on what they should do but they can't accept it when they're thinking of how to recover the most losses that they have made. Even if we say that it's easy to quit and that's all they need to do but when their mindsets are all fixed, they cannot help themselves either.

Not everyone has that heart but God bless those that have one. It's also hard to find one that's addicted because many want to keep it private and shy to let others know of what they're dealing with as they don't want to get exposed that they're dealing with that problem.

Talking about the negative and positive sides of gambling, I think gambling itself is more or less neutral because gambling in it self really does nothing to anyone, it basically an act when overly indulged in will become addictive and the addiction is the problem not the gambling itself, gambling in itself was ment for entertainment and fun but because you can earn from it some persons get addicted.

It's common with almost every form of entertainment, when continually indulge in you may most likely get addicted to it, it's positive effects can only be experienced if done in the sense it was ment for which is entertainment, after which other effects results from the habit of the one who indulges in gambling, but then as always advised gamble responsibly, if you find yourself to be an addict pron person, avoiding gambling is very much advised aswell, but if you are strong willed and can go with the entertainment part of it then it's fine.
