- I do I agree that gambling is a matter of choice. And it doesn't mean that we chose it as a novice gambler that we are immediately addicted to it, of course it takes time to become addicted to it. But why should we choose the one if it will destroy our personality and the family we have.

You can gamble without affecting your family and close friends, are you the type who just consider it a game like in amusement you buy a token so you can play, so it should be the same with gambling when we play let's see it as just an amusement , don't take it seriously.

Being addicted does take time but we will never know when we can become addicted. We just know that we just want to gamble most of the time and don't want to do anything else. And that is why gambling is a choice and we shouldn't try it if we are afraid of becoming addicted, especially if we can't control our lust.

Seeing gambling as entertainment is a good thing, especially if it is accompanied by good self-control so that we will not experience gambling addiction in the long term. Indeed, self-control will go up and down along with the emotions that come but it's worth it, especially if we really want to prevent gambling addiction.

If you can control as your analogy will reflect to this, gambling for the sake of entertainment is good, but how far can you go controlling yourself from being addicted? That's the big question as most of the time gamble begins with some entertainment and after some games they are already engaged and from that engagement they no longer know how to limit and control, and that's the addiction that no one can really control once you are already being dominated of lies inside your minds.

Thinking that you can always win or you can simply recover the money that you already lose from your gambling activities.

It's a matter of control and how you execute the limitation that you will implement before stepping your way to gambling.

My thoughts, is this how we often feel when we lose out on a bet??
Do you wish the site can refund your money??

It depends on the type of bet and situation because sometimes you can't help but become emotional when the stakes are high or if you're new to gambling.

It's best to avoid those thoughts while gambling, but some gamblers are that desperate as i've seen a few cases where they'd blame their loss on the casino and think they can get a refund by mentioning the rules or inconsistency in self-exclusion.

At the same time, blockchain makes casinos and other gambling games even more honest. We can see the open source code, and thanks to this we can conclude that the game is built honestly. And this is a great breakthrough! Because who wants to play gambling games in which the chances of winning are unknown?
There is practically no chance to win on such sites and withdraw that winnings, I have dealt with similar services on Russian domains.

Even though we know the chance of winning in gambling is shown because it's open source and yet we won't know if we will win or not. It's only a practice that we do in order for us to know that the game is built honestly since we don't want to spend our money with a platform we don't have a knowledge with. In my own point of view, I'd rather play in a platform I am familiar with rather than playing in another platform that I do not know of. It's just like swimming in an unknown body of water.

I also like to use the services of only those gambling sites that I already know well. From where I have already successfully withdrawn money, and received good winnings. There is no point in learning a new platform every time if there is a proven and, importantly, licensed one. This is an indicator that the chances of winning on this gambling platform are fair and comply with the legislation of the country.

It is typical for a player to use the casino he already tried and assessed again and again since he had already tried and proven that the casino will not run away his funds. But trying a newly established casino is not bad IMO. As long as they have license we can try them with a small amount of initial bankroll. It also enhances our user experience and we can compare the difference in experience using the old casino and the newly established one.

Definitely you should only gamble, when you want, these type of rogues just trick the common people to fall in their traps and games which is not even fair and take all the money from them. But this can’t be happen online, as people are now a days very smart, and before depositing any amount of site in any casino, then do a complete background check on the reputation and then only they deposit. They also check that whether the games are fair or not, hence in online space the chances of getting scammed like this in the name of gambling is very less.

That's not entirely true, there are a lot of online scams even these days and they easily manage to scam a lot of people, especially newbies. The thing is, they use things and promotional banners and stuff that make people think that they are up for something really big without realizing that they are actually going to lose money instead.

Most of the scammers promise very high returns on investments and newbies easily fall for them and deposit their money only with the hope that they might earn a lot of money through these websites but in reality, they are nothing but scams.

The scams are on all social networking platforms, forums, telegram, wherever there are always bots or people who deceive others, here what you should always take care of is that you cannot be falling and it is very easy to identify, when they offer In casinos or anywhere, the option to win very easily without so much effort, they also offer to win very large amounts of money, for example, win 5000usd in a slot machine and then ask for a deposit of 100usd and that has happened to me, those are the things that we must identify, when you see something very easy to earn money, there is something strange there.

If there's something which is really that too good to be true offering then it isnt really that hard to make use of your own common sense on which it would really be that normal that there's no such thing about easy money or too good to be true offerings on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be getting that fascinated on what you have seen or which is something that you dont see on everyday.
This is why on the time that you would be seeing these kind of offerings then you would normally be making your emotions and interest poke up because this is something that you do see everyday and would really be ending up on having that curiosity which might really be making yourself ending up on taking the offer and ending up on getting scammed if you are dealing with scammy sites or plarforms.
Gambling is indeed a choice on which it would be normal that you would really be playing into something that looks cool and interesting. Losing money is normal but getting scammed is something
avoidable.

There's freedom in gambling which means you can choose or decide on anything for yourself in gambling, just as no one can force you to gamble or stops you, if you think you want to choose a casino wallet which is centralized as your own bank for storage of your cryptocurrencies that's fine, but always know the risk associated with using online wallets and it danger, if the site is down, your money is down as well, only make a deposit of the amount you can afford to loose while gambling.

We have heard this many times and wherever gambling can always receive good and bad risks from gambling. For now, gamblers are much smarter, at least they can choose and sort out the casino criteria to be used. Usually looking for information about the casino, its reputation and I hope you don't have to worry anymore. Regarding connecting a wallet via web3, it's not really preferred, but if you want to do this, use a new wallet that is specifically for gambling and also make sure that the balance is only enough to play once so that if the site goes down occasionally or you experience damage which results in losing your balance, you won't lose it as a whole.

Gambling is a choice for most people and that is a healthy choice and the healthy way of creating customers that stay and enjoy in the long term. However for many individuals this is not true, as there is something they cannot control that makes them bet over their budget or not stopping when fun is no longer there. I would not say it is a choice for everyone, just for most people.

You have a point as people are built differently, but for good people should control themselves unless it ain't destroying their lives because what I've noticed about those people who overbet is that they always lose and it is affecting them financially as well as their relationship with their family, but there are really more that can't control themselves even if they only have a few dollars left. They still gamble, like in the lottery, where I've noticed a lot of people will try their luck even if they only have a few dollars left, meaning it is really a choice or an uncontrollable choice.

Well, but it's still very unfortunate that several gamblers have taken gambling so seriously that some have even taken it as their only source of income for living, it's wild though, but it's really hard to find any thing in this world that involves money, that's not being abused by some, not matter how or what several other people or persons say.

Gambling is one of those activities that some people can never stop abusing, for those who are addicted to gambling, I think it's no longer a choice for them, but a habit, something they must do to feel alright, even though they have to lose money in the process.

Quote from: Alisha-k on May 16, 2023, 03:26:59 AM

Something happened in my locality and I just wonder if that's how we also behave in the online space.

So, they're always a group of rougues in my country, they're often sited in the market place where there's a reasonable population, what's their work???

The have things in a martch box like stones and sticks, they'll ask you to pick the one out of it that has something, depending on what the want....

At first, when you pick, they'll let you win so as to drag your attention, then subsequent wins, you'll be at the losing side and the make sure the drain your pockets entirely.

So, just last week, this lady fell a victim and she was shouting and crying, the had obviously emptied her pocket and even gotten her phone from her in the process of the gambling.

My thoughts, is this how we often feel when we lose out on a bet??
Do you wish the site can refund your money??

Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.

These sort of street fraudsters can easily be dealt with by the police most of the time, it's illegal to engage these sort of activities - unlicensed gambling - in almost every country around the world. With just a little bit of evidence, maybe a bit of short stealth recording, it should be easy to present this to the police and get them arrested. They really do take advantage of people who are unfamiliar with card tricks and other games. Ironically it shows how addictive gambling can be, because they often allow you to win small amounts in the first one or two goes of the game, the wisest people would leave at this point, but then those sort of people would never be playing the game anyway so it takes care of itself from the conman's perspective.

But we know that not all people would really be that wise nor really be that aware about gambling and on the time that they would really go into a place and able to encounter such stuffs then this is where
people do easily get hook specially on the time that they would really be showing and letting them win on few tries.It is true that in every place there are really that these illegal doings or fraudsters on which they would really be taking some advantage into those who do have zero knowledge. This is why having that common sense would be your best weapon on which you would really be that able to sense
things that somethings off or not really that right. Come to mind that if those given games are really that easy to win up on your first tries then you should really be minding
on hows it possible? it cant really be just that some sort of rigged or making you believe that it is really just that easy.

It is indeed a grim reality that such fraudulent activities often target those with little to no understanding of the games or mechanics involved. The initial wins serve as a deceptive enticement, a proverbial 'siren call,' drawing unsuspecting individuals into a rigged game. While law enforcement indeed plays a critical role in curbing such activities, the onus falls upon individuals to equip themselves with knowledge. Knowledge is power, after all. By understanding the inherent risks and mechanics of these games, one can more effectively resist the allure of easy wins.

Moreover, fostering a societal dialogue about such schemes, much like we are doing here, can raise public awareness and dissuade potential victims from falling prey. In essence, shared knowledge becomes a collective defense. In the end, prevention remains the best cure, and awareness is the first step towards prevention.

I don't see the business of the law enforcers here as the choice is always freely made, and when you experience something you don't like, you should not want it again, and then you have to quit. This is how I see the whole thing, it's a matter of choice, and no matter how the system is wired/rigged to trick anyone, it should not trick a sensible person for too long before the right consciousness would be alerted. Just don't do what you do not want to do or do not have much belief in, and when anyone persuades you for anything and you still oblige the person, I believe that it's a choice you made, no one should be blamed but you if it boomerangs.

No one should expect a quick-rich scheme in gambling or anywhere else and when something new to you is happening in such a way that is advertised or experienced related to that, then be more cautious rather than blaming someone's later.

When we get into gambling we're into it with our conscious. If it had happened by compulsion then it is wrong. When we enter by our own understanding, then there is no use of blaming others. The street gambles were simple tricks same as that people do magic. We can't be sure as well as those sticks and stones are much used to them. They know well in what way ot need to be dropped so to fail the person who had placed the bet.

Only advantage we've got over the online gambling platforms is the provably fair functioning. We can't expect this with the street gamble. Whether we get into gambling online or offline our minds need to be prepared enough to experience the loss. If by luck we get winning, just enjoy it. This is how one needs to participate into gambling activities.

The whole problem is that in online games we often don't know if we are playing with a human or a bot. The bot always has an inexhaustible supply of money to bet, and the program knows, if you take poker, for example, what cards the opponents have. So let's hope that pure randomness is used, without any manipulation by the artificial intelligence.

I agree with that and even though some may believe that gambling is not a reflection of greed, a good number of people will still believe gambling to be a greed-motivated act especially when it becomes excessive.

I didn't think anything aside from greed will make one fall for such pranks by street urchins who are entirely out to scam you of money, so the best practice is to avoid such activities in totality since we can simply refuse to fall for them.
