By knowing that gambling is mostly prohibited, we already know what the options are for us, whether to decide to gamble or not to come into contact with gambling. If we decide to gamble, we must be prepared for all the risks, including if later we are caught gambling by the officers, and they catch us and give us punishment. But that didn't deter many people, and they immediately stopped because some of them continued to gamble even though the officers had punished them.
Not only gambling if something is prohibited and we do the same thing we are indulging in illegal activity which is punishable offence.This is why many people are shifting to online gambling because you don't have to face much restrictions as well you can try lot of of different casinos with lot of games.But if we talk about street gambling then people still do it even if it's banned because corruption is there and those areas are under government supervision but still you see people gambling over there.So there is risk factor there to players.
By playing at online casinos they can play cross-country gambling and also use a VPN so that they are not detected by regulations in their country. Online casinos now also provide various kinds of conveniences for gamblers where we can use crypto and still hide our identity as gamblers from other people. And this means that playing gambling is a choice because each person will choose what they want to do in their spare time. And by using crypto casinos, gamblers can keep their activities hidden in gambling.

Petty people are found both online and offline, one should stay away from them. It was woman's fault to bother with these people in first place, just like if you get scammed online, gullibility is to be blamed.
Those who have already experienced such things will surely stay away from them, but those who are new to them become victims of such scams. A person who is visiting a market or any public place for the first time will obviously not know that there are scammers like that roaming around always ready to scam you and go away with all your money.

Similarly, in the online world, a newbie would never know what is a scam and what he needs to avoid in order to stay safe online, when we were newbies, even we were vulnerable to all kinds of scams and now when we know, we think everyone would know which is not the case.

Gambling is mostly ban in some area which is not practised except it is done without the awareness of the government or people knowing about it. Whatever results we get from gambling, we should be ready to admitting the result since we are not forced to go into gambling. Those that are making money from gambling are doing that because they are prepared for whatever outcome the get from it whether is for a lose or it's for s gain.

On the other hand, luck smiles on newcomers. About bans - bans breed illegal casinos, which can be bad enough for players. Illegal casinos can lead - due to their criminal nature - to various serious problems for players, including non-payment of winnings.

Gambling ban is not common in most countries because it depends on the government in place, some of th support gambling while few does not, we also have the challenges from the individual gamblers who cannot maintain peace and orderliness in gambling than to cause violence and fight at the cause of gambling, all these are what the government look into and put i consideration to ban it in other for them to reduce the rate through whic people abuse the use of gambling the negative way.

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.
No one force her to gamble her money so it happened because it's her own decision. I feel bad that she can't accept the outcome but that's how gambling works, you will win at first then you'll lose your money.

My thoughts, is this how we often feel when we lose out on a bet??
Depends on how you deal with losses. If at first you're aware that losing your money is very possible then it would not he hard to accept the outcome. Gamblers with such reaction after experiencing losses probably didn't expect to lose their money and has high expectation that they will win.

Do you wish the site can refund your money??
Gambling is not only offering their players to win. But they want also to satisfy you in your gambling experience by having fun while playing. Moreover, it's a business so if you have such mindset then don't try to gamble your money so you would not think that the casino will refund your money if ever you lose.

Yeah that's an option or alternative option for those who don't love to go face to face or for someone who want their gambling as a discreet activity, they can just play in front of their mobile device or computers without any risk of revealing your identity. But it's still depends on one person who involve with gambling activities.

It's your option and your decision to take and more on your responsibilities. Take your journey with heavy precautions, not being addicted.

My thoughts, is this how we often feel when we lose out on a bet??
Do you wish the site can refund your money??
No, I don't think it's the same.
These people are clearly committing fraud and the players don't even realize that they are being cheated. Sometimes they can even use violence or hypnotic so that people don't realize that their money has run out and also don't have the opportunity to stop because there is coercion that drives them to keep playing.
Meanwhile, when you play at an online casino, no one will force you to keep playing until your money runs out unless you can't control yourself, and playing at an online casino you still have a chance to win, I mean there are opportunities to win and lose, it's not just defeat that you will suffer.
If you play and lose and still expect to be able to get your money back from the casino it proves that you can't afford to lose and are not a responsible gambler, it would be best not to gamble at all because people with that attitude will charge accusations without excuses, and will start yelling scam at the casino where he plays because he feels cheated even though losing is a common thing in gambling.

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.
These types of people, I consider them to be cheaters, and I don't think these types of gambles are just ordinary; otherwise, why would these lady start shouting and crying after she had lost money and her phone? I hope she knew what she was about to do was gambling, but when she got there and started it, they were convincing her that if she continued, she would win something big, which is not the case.

Do you wish the site can refund your money??
OP, do you imply that after losing money on a wager, I should consider asking the casino website for a refund? NO I cannot even consider thinking about something that I know will never occur. However, this is why we call it a gamble because you either win or lose. For this reason, I always view gambling as something I will do for fun and not as a means of making money. This way, I won't risk investing too much money and will still be okay if I lose.

I have not heard of source game before may be it's because of my region since street gambling is a ban and illegal in my jurisdiction,  but then we may have to open up ourselves to some further questions about whether or not it the greed that drives us into them instead of paying close attention we decide to risk taking chances.

I feel soory for her, but unfortunately, whining and screaming is not going to help! She got tricked by professional scammers and there isn't much she can do to get her money back.
Those scammers know where to conduct their tricks and know whom to trick. They will let you win few rounds before they start ripping you of.
Online gambling is totally different, thanks to provably fairness.

No body who happened to be a scam victim ever expect such coming, but some people are too flexible and kind in believing in others too easily, they are too loosed and don't consider the probability that those they are dealing with could surprised them in a negative way because they never had a bad intention on them or suspect them, tis are the category of newbies and unexposed novice that always assum thesame mindset they are having is what those they are dealing with are having with them not until they got scammed, there's need for more awareness on scam to all our newbie about their new developing techniques and strategies they use in attacking newbies in gambling.

She was not really smart enough to decipher there gimmicks and tricks. She also lost her phone according to OP. From the looks, it seems those guys do not operate on a neutral level because I see no reason why some one can not be able to call back to their normal consciousness when they start sensing such scenarios. If I am not mistaken there is more to this incidence than one could think. Those guys weren't ordinary.  I will use my experience as an example.  In my country, most people who engaged in that exercise mostly use black magic so as to be able to convince and attract passers-by to play their scam games and these people fall for them and I noticed they do not just play and go, they play till every dime in their possession is exhausted living the players their unsuspecting victims with nothing on them.
The players gets frustrated after exhausting their funds and would regain consciousness and sometimes leads to serious arguments and confrontation but they have already played he games and lost everything so no one would talk in their favor but advise them to be careful next time.
That is the nature of such scheme. They do not have any office and no track or trace to locate them.

Gambling will always stay gambling, so never chase more profits but expect more losses when you bet. That’s how gambling works, and once you chose and decide to gamble, be ready for multiple losses but few gains. However, if you see yourself losing, then never cried and shout and blame other people for that. But learn from your losses instead and never be persuade again to gamble on a huge amount that you cannot manage to lose.
Reckless gambling will lead to bankruptcy or huge financial loss including but not limited to losing life savings, these bad scenarios have happened many times as you can check the related forum boards for finding examples. I usually never like the type of gamblers who keep chasing losses and just hope for a max win to recover previous losses. It is a win-win situation for casinos while gamblers keep losing everything slowly thanks to the house edge factor.

Yeah that emotion that push the gambler up to aggressively try to recover those lose capital, it leads them to lose more from time to time, and like what you mentioned it's always a win-win situation for the house since they always got a good cut from each time a gambler place their bets.

House edge will continue to bring good benefits for the house owners, and if luck will not be on the side of the gambler, sure deal that
the house will benefit along the way.

It can be a strategy - the gambler can make risky bets with high odds to get big prize. It is possible situation and even i have a friend who doesn`t bet if the odd less 2.5. Of course his win rate is about average, but as he says - he has surplus in his bets. The problem if the gambler tries to return his money and increase risk and bets. And of course you have to make a research before bet.
I think your friend has a high commitment in every bet he chooses even though the risk is high but I'm sure he is good at analyzing and predicting overall.
Choosing odds 2 over it is the right choice for him because he usually already has a way to recover the losses if there is a surprise or your friend chooses on the main sports bet or on the favorite club?
But even though it's too risky it has become a choice.
He analyzes lots of information about event he plans to bet. Both teams, their history, form, last matches, injuries, table, etc. He makes such analyze for several matches every day and looks at the odds. Sometimes he is waiting to bet online. Mostly he bet 1-3 matches per day and wins about a half. It is enough to get profit. But as for me - he spends so many time that he can get much more money making some analyze for the money being a worker.
I told about it just to point such opportunity.
I am guided a lot by the statistics and predictions of a particular sport, for example , what they say is very good, but you have to have a lot of time to dedicate yourself to the sport or favorite sport and know, in the case of the most controversial fight like the one yesterday where Haney won Lomachenko was a unanimous decision , where it was seen that the winner was the American, and Lomachenko himself said that Hnaey considers him good, but not one of the best in the world, he is a boxer well, but he is not among the best , there is a lot of controversy and boxing fans did not like this decision but the statistics and probabilities showed that the winner would be Haney.

That doesn't excuse scam gambling sites available, and this op's case doesn't make all irl gambling houses as scam. Point being, there are always exceptions.
There will always be exceptions. I didn't mean all online casinos can be trusted or they can't scam their customers.
What I meant is that gamblers when playing online games, at least they have the option to play provably fair games which allows them to verify the results. This way the will avoid game fixing and results manipulation. There are still other ways for casinos to scam, though.

Those schemes can be in every place where poverty is at high. It's true that gambling is a choice and when you've lost, you just can't ask a refund to the operators.

The same goes with the typical gambling that we does that if we lose, there's no way the casino will give us that money back. That's why they've got features of self exclusion for those addicted gamblers.

As OP have shared a story, it consists of bought tricksters and gambling.

Those schemes are indeed popular in places where poverty is common and where people is also uneducated on how gambling works and even the tricks used by those crooks to rob anyone blind.

Here in this region on my country there was a legendary tricker who used three coca-cola taps and a little ball, he shuffled it and dared you to guess where it was. This happens in a town by the river.

At first he made you believe that you were going to pocket some money by playing, until suddenly the ball never appeared again and you were left out with nothing in. His crooks assistants were also there to intimidate.

Every time he was going to lift the tap he said to his victims: "Say Coca-Cola!
And then he would shout again: "Let the ball disappear!"

The whole thing rhymes in Spanish.
I get the idea of that game and it's like that they will have their own versions of their game and of course, their own rules. That's really the trick there, they'll make you believe that you can baghold a lot of money but then, that's the gullible part.

When you're winning already, you can't go out from there until you're gonna lose some money for them. And that's the sad part that these tricksters will not let you pass or go even if you want to.

Those schemes can be in every place where poverty is at high. It's true that gambling is a choice and when you've lost, you just can't ask a refund to the operators.

As OP have shared a story, it consists of bought tricksters and gambling.
And that is a lesson for everyone out there that if you are going to gamble, bet, or take any kind of risk be it your money, property, or your psychology. You only have yourself to be responsible for your own.
Correct.

There's no other people to blame for any result that you'll get but only yourself. So, before you gamble always remember that the results are not guaranteed and it could be good or mostly bad results.
