Topic: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it - page 4. (Read 2201 times)

I think that the gambling against the casino and other centralized groups that have a huge advantage over you and the rules that they establish, and not you and which you must obey, is bad. Such games on a long distances in 99.99% of cases do not end in anything good. Even if you are successful in the long term, it will not bring you great benefit, because the casino does not like to lose. And it will certainly find a way to limit your earnings. It will either limit your coefficients or reduce your winning or quench your account. This is the harsh reality. We are waiting for the appearance of decentralized games.

Of course everyone who gambles wants to win in the games they play, but it will be very different for those who can control themselves and can also manage their gambling time, for those who can do this of course they will not spend a lot of their money gambling and they have set a budget for gambling and can stop when they experience losses in their gambling.
This really depends on each individual controlling themselves well, but it is very difficult to be able to do this if we are in a game and almost lose, for some people who have become addicted to betting it will certainly be very difficult to control themselves. them when gambling.

Do you mean they are increasing their bet amounts? Well, that's normal for gamblers who are chasing their losses. They are getting greedier because they think the winning chance is near so it's better if the amount they input is bigger than their usual bets. I understand that because I have been in that situation before. Chasing losses is when a gambler is trying to win back what he thinks is supposed to be his. But that is entirely wrong because gambling sites will just make us lose more if we are trying to win it all back in a quicker way.
These emotions are where it's getting more dangerous for us because there's no way that the system will understand our emotions, it will just keep on taking our bets and the RTP might not come in short runs. IMO, it's still better if we prolong the battle by staying with our usual bets. It will give back but we have to be patient about it.

Because they are not sure they can control themselves when gambling, sometimes someone finds it difficult to control themselves when playing because they are carried away by the atmosphere and temptation of gambling and this is experienced by many gamblers.
The experience that you have had before will of course also be experienced by other gamblers because it was a mistake because it was not balanced with good control in setting the bet amount and when to play. and as a result they can become addicted to gambling because they play excessively and are not careful in making all their decisions.
Therefore, it is a good idea for us to always be self-aware and with good control of course reduce the impact of gambling.

Going back to Bitcoin, I think you're quite right. However, in my opinion, you need to clarify with yourself that Bitcoin is an investment, not a gamble like your previous gambling activities. Otherwise, you might end up repeating your mistakes. If you define Bitcoin as a gamble that can bring quick profits, it's not the case, and you should reconsider.
I think before, you and your family were confusing investment with risky entertainment, resulting in unfavorable outcomes. Gambling isn't necessarily so bad that you have to stay away and treat it as an enemy. It can be a place for entertainment and stress relief if you know how to approach it correctly and allocate a specific budget for gambling.

I really understand your feelings that you think gambling is very bad based on your father's past experiences which could destroy your family's happiness. I cannot change your views on gambling and you also cannot change other people's habits to stop gambling, negative and positive assumptions are in each person's mindset.
Gambling is not a game that can guarantee you riches, there are things that gamblers must be able to control so that they don't get too climaxed in their pursuit of victory.

Your father has lost control in gambling, he has a very difficult time controlling himself which has bad consequences for his future and that of your family. Self-control needs to be prioritized to prevent bad things from happening that could harm gamblers and their families.

although some play for fun. but still, those who bet hope to win. and sometimes when we are careful, we still get carried away by an atmosphere that is too exciting.
We have been careful in making bets and allocating funds. but there are still those who go too far and force themselves to keep betting with other money. maybe some gamblers have experienced such a situation. or even almost all gamblers have been addicted to continuing to bet.

Their actions have shown an excessive approach by selling some of the valuable assets they have just for gambling allocations, when on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee whatsoever to produce a win and with this then it seems that I can slightly conclude as I said earlier that they came not to seek entertainment but to seek victory and it seems that they are in a cycle of closing losses by seeking victory. Of course it is true as you said, we allocate money to gambling to pay for the entertainment we will feel during the game and not as a tool to lure something bigger, it would be impossible if basically their struggle is only based on luck which of course always cannot be known when it comes.

Yes, engaging in gambling is not that fun, there will always be temptations that are difficult for us to ignore, and if we are wrong in our approach and not in accordance with what is recommended by common sense then obviously this activity will make us suffer a lot of problems. The application of self-control and some other restrictions will be difficult if they come with the wrong understanding and point of view, on the other hand we can say that quitting is always the best solution but it is not that easy for them to do so because it is difficult to achieve awareness in such situations.

This method is considered not good, having to sell assets just to finance gambling because gambling should only be entertainment, not a game that makes a lot of money, let alone making it a source of income, so stopping gambling when you lose is the right choice, not selling assets to fulfill pent-up emotions due to experiencing defeat, let alone gambling, trying to recover from defeat.

I know that being a gambler is hard, it's hard to control yourself, especially when you experience defeat and emotions, but every gambler also has the choice to follow his feelings or stop there so as not to sell assets, let alone seek loans from banks, let alone loan sharks, that is not recommended and is not a good way to become a responsible gambler. Gambling should be entertainment, not a place to make money

Yes and that's what a gambler should do, gamble just for fun and use money according to the budget he has, don't overdo it in playing time and the number of bets so that no one gets addicted. And it is true that if someone gambles just for entertainment, when he loses then feeling regret is not too much of a problem for him because he already gets pleasure from being able to gamble. And I agree with you that if a person is not addicted to gambling then he is not doing bad things in his daily life.

That's right, gambling depends on how we respond to it, because there are those who consider gambling as a source of income and there are those who consider gambling as a means of entertainment, but in my opinion the correct thing is to respond to it as entertainment, because many people gamble but they are not ready to lose. which happens and makes them addicted to gambling. because very few people gamble responsibly, even if they are responsible when gambling then there will not be many cases of gambling addiction which causes them to experience big losses.
those who become addicted to gambling will only destroy their lives financially, because it is clear that gambling is closely tied to their finances,  and if they are addicted to gambling then they will experience difficulties with their finances. Differences in thinking that must be addressed when they think gambling can be used as an income in life, then that is the biggest mistake.

That's what people should do when gambling. But unfortunately, that only applies to a small number of gamblers, especially those who already know the dangers of gambling.
Many gamblers forget always to limit their gambling and they gamble more and more often and forget their original purpose of gambling.
They should be able to realize this by looking at what they have experienced in gambling so that they will not try to continue gambling.
Your father's experience is a clear example that everyone should avoid so that we don't experience what his father experienced.

Such an approach is indeed  more advisable, however we must still be able to adjuust for the sake of a balance, especially in terms of finance, try to spend only the amount that we can be responsible for and better far below the amount of income  we get from salary, or that means much smaller like for example 1% - 3% of the amount of income you get and do not let this activity even make us suffer a lot of problems. After all, as you said, there is no  problem with only putting a small amount if the goal is just to find entertainment and with that small amoount I think everything will be better, it doesn't mean that with a small amount you won't get pleasure because the name of gambling is definitely all gamblers will feel the increase in the money  they bring when they are running a session, it will be useful to extend the duration of the session you are doing and also obviously I'm sure you will be able to get  quite a lot of pleasure during the ups and downs of the balance in your account..

On the other hand I think that if they have  to sell part of the assets they have just to gamble then obviously in my opinion their goal is not to seek entertainment but to make it.

Let the other people have fun and don't let yourself be the one to decide how they want to live their life, that's not how you should do things because they're not like you. Do you like the idea of people telling you what to do and how to live your life? I'm sure you're going to say no because that's an irksome thing to do when you're an individual that wants to mind their own business. Sure gambling isn't good for everyone but the best that you can do is to warn people about gambling and nothing more, let them fuck around and find out for themselves and then you get the satisfactory "I told you so" speech to them.

gambling just for fun with the money spent measured according to your income and not addiction is actually no problem.
because if it's just for fun to lose, you won't sell assets just to gamble.
maybe the experience that happened to your father will be different from the experience of others

Yup, Better to know or feel it first before deciding to stay away. In that way, they will see if gambling gives a negative effect in their lives, If none, it's up to them whether they continue or not. people don't have to generalize their thoughts about gambling because it depends to every person, Sometimes It's good to other and sometimes are not.

Yes, it is all about how we consider gambling in our lives - as entertainment or a chase to win (sources of income).
There is no problem with having them both as long as we gamble responsibly and are not addicted to it but if we are, that totally ruins our life financially and it also affects family relationships.

That is why it is very important to understand what is gambling in our lives because more people get into gambling and ruin their lives. If we are uncertain, better not to try.

I believe they must first feel the badness of gambling before they stay away from it. it can't just be advice. Those who get involved in gambling definitely have their own enjoyment. For me, as long as they know their limits and don't harm other people, there's no problem. unfortunately even if they are detrimental it is not easy for them to realize. I hope they get proper psychological guidance if gambling has made their bad habit even worse for their family and those around them.

People with a bad experience with something will say it is bad and advise others not to do it. It was only natural that he said that to warn everyone about the impact of gambling. But for those who can still control themselves when gambling, they will still gamble and they will always be careful.

As long as we can use it well and not excessively, no problems will occur. Problems will arise when we go too far in using it and excessive things could be better. And as long as we can use gambling well, just to have fun and fill our free time and don't overdo it, we will be fine. We must be able to control ourselves when gambling so that we don't experience any problems.

Everyone definitely has their own way of dealing with problems in their life, whether it's gambling addiction or other addictions. Addiction is indeed a bad thing, but we don't need to warn people by provoking them as if gambling is bad, it's just someone who abuses it gambling itself cannot be responsible and not all gamblers is bad, not all smokers is bad, not all those who drink alcohol is bad. As long as these people continue to obey the rules and remain responsible for themselves, then we don't need to worry about regulating people not to do that.

It's true that warning people is a commendable thing but we don't need to force someone to follow rules that we think are right and we think are wrong, not just because @OP's parents have a problem with gambling and it affects condition now, but that doesn't mean other people feel the same way OP's father feels.
