Gambling is a choice, and people easily fall for it. This is all because of the money that it can bring to the gambler. This doesn't happen with everyone, but the one that happens with a person gives hope and let people believe it as a way of making good money. Only after an encounter they'll understand the reality behind gambling.
Whether it is online gambling or the street gambling we should understand the reality and act wisely. This means we need to just focus on our fund management, and not let our mind cross the limits. This will help to have better gambling experience than losing and going behind the management for refund.

This are two contrasting situations. Your post is talking about a scamming scheme where people are lured into betting on a rigged game, they could do this by having one of the scammers pretend to be a player and win on their bets, just enough to make it believable, anyone who falls victim tries their luck and wins a little amount, not a serious loss for the scammers, but just enough to keep them playing, if they keep playing they start taking their money gradually till the person tires out or runs out of cash.
Online gambling on reputable websites is different from this. The house always wants to win but has to be provably fair, to not scam players. There exist some scam gambling websites, so players should always verify before depositing into any platform.

Probably, I believe that was the situation in which the game went. Two scammers disguising themselves to play and win deceiving unsuspecting individuals to engage with them. Then they start a game then the player wins at first then again and again and after that, their schemes begin and the player begin to play at loss until the player ends up using all the funds on them to play before they get themselves and realizes they have been scammed but by then, it would be too late for them to withdraw.

Sometimes I wonder if these scammers go extra miles so as to have powers in convincing their prospective targets to fall for them. He do they even do that because this situation if this lady baffles me that should could not get herself until she was drained and get phone too gone.
Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.
I don't know of anyone that would be happy losing money in gambling or to anything. If having your money refund by the site was possible after you've lost, almost every user would have used the option.Unfortunately, you can't eat your cake and still have it. Should you happen to have won, you would be both hands dip into collecting your wins. Definitely, you won't even think on what it feels like to be on the side of the betting platform.
Am sure they would wish the opposite as well, you not having to win.
Gambling is always a thing of choice. No one gets compelled beyond his or her greed. Should you let your greed get the best of you, you might be in for some serious regrets.

Gambling is a choice, getting scammed is not. But that's not to say you can't protect yourself from them. Be smart, be vigilant, and if it's too good to be true, walk away and move on with your life and more important things because 9 times out of 10, it is.
^ This is so true and definitely right.Gambling is a choice, getting scammed is not. But that's not to say you can't protect yourself from them. Be smart, be vigilant, and if it's too good to be true, walk away and move on with your life and more important things because 9 times out of 10, it is.
But losing a bet can indeed be disappointing, and it is natural to feel that way.
However, remember that gambling is a personal choice, and no one should compel or persuade you into it. Even though some may wish for refunds when they lose, it is always good to accept that the outcome of a bet is part of the risk involved in gambling.
If we want to avoid the disappointment of losing bets, here is probably a helpful tip.
Number 1 is to set a strict budget and stick to it. Before you start gambling, decide on the amount of money you are willing to risk and can afford to lose. This approach ensures that you won't be tempted to chase losses or overspend beyond your means. Always remember, gambling should be seen as entertainment rather than a reliable source of income, and responsible budgeting is key to maintaining a healthy relationship with it and that lady was in a wrong choice.
Using up on ones common sense would really be avoiding you on getting scammed because it is really that impossible that you cant really be able to see those red flags on the time that you would really be dealing
with it on first time. Lets say that you are completely noob into it but doesnt mean that you cant notice something shady or odd on the time that its been done. Gambling is just for fun and a choice whether
you would be gambling and engaging into it but getting scammed is something really that a thing that do happen if you dont make out some good decisions on avoiding it on the first place.
It is really just that people do really miss out on making up some research and making use of their common sense on thats why they do really fall into this.

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??

Actually i do have the same experience wayback when im still on age 11-13 on which i did really go into a carnival and there's someone who do have that kind of game which they would be letting you a marble be 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???

dropped and if it goes down to the bottom without getting stuck then you would win money but if not then your bet would be lost. They would be giving out that free test out and no matter how many times
you would try and having that assurance that it would really be like easy peazy kind of mindset and feelings on which on the time that you would be putting up some bets then this is the time
they would be pulling up something just to make that blockage on passageway of that marble which it would really be divert out into other path and would be losing your bet.
I did have in mind that it was impossible and i did make out some observations on the time that he had been dealing with other people on which i did able to observe
about that secret toggle anytime that people would make out bets. A clever son of a b*tch.

What you are talking about in this thread, is traditional gambling. if so, don't be surprised if dishonest gambling practices like this will always exist. so one shouldn't get caught up by the scenarios like you described in this thread. because, modes like this are easy for us to detect. although it still happens in various places, and usually the victim is a person who has no knowledge or minimal experience. they are tempted by the reward, which actually has been set up by the perpetrators. looking for a weak target, as if the victim will get multiple benefits. what an irony, in an era like today if there are still those who are deceived by the mode as you describe.
Well, losing and winning in a bet/gambling is one thing for sure. If you often experience losing on the bets that you make, do you have to get a refund from the casino that you play at and how. I guess, the scenario is not like that. if someone does not want to lose his money, he should not try to get involved with this one hobby. because, this hobby has risks contained therein.
Gamblers should be aware that the money they risk at the casino has the potential to lose and this is part of the risk. but on the contrary, someone can get a reward according to his luck.
I have seen this type of event in my community.
Let me try to explain how it works; once they get to their place which is mostly in market places or anywhere that's busy with people the next thing they'll do is to start shuffling cards rounds and then you'll be asked to select a certain card. What's actually happening is that all those that are present at the scene are all together so they'll have to pretend as if they don't know each other and make it seems as if they are just playing normally and also winning and if you are close to them you'll be tempted to give it a try and once you start playing you'll be asked to wager something big to win a more bigger price and once you're done wagering it doesn't matter if you win or not you won't get both the price and your wager back.
As soon as you win they'll start a commotion to disrupt the game and in he midst of that commotion they'll exchange you wager with someone that will immediately leave the scene and once everything settle down your money will be no where to be found. And if you're the persistent type you'll end up being beaten by them.
I haven't experienced it but I have seen it happen live in my community.

My doubt is: is the dealer too skilled and fast with stones and sticks or is he cheating the players?
If people are losing money because they can't follow the dealer's hands efficiently, it's not scam, rather it's part of gambling game. And they are only losing money because they agreed playing the game... I don't think it's a crime.
On the other hand, if the dealer is hidding every stones and sticks somehow to not give the gambler any winning chances, then it's a theft and you can really call them thieves.

You should be responsible enough to think for yourself, even if you are persuaded or asked to play whatever outcome you should accept, what if you hit the jackpot and won a lot of money you will be thankful that they persuade or asked you to play.
We truly have the opportunity to exercise our right to free choice, including deciding whether to gamble or not and where to do so. We must confirm that the gambling game we select is legitimate and will offer a fair game. The hype, which is widespread even in the cryptocurrency gambling industry, deceived the woman and undoubtedly took her along. People who are duped by the excitement frequently fall into scammers' traps.
The woman's excessive emotions and belief that she should win more were caused by her greed, and her response was also immature. We are constantly urged to put an end to our gambling greed and to always consider the consequences. In all forms of gambling, controlling our emotions has a significant impact on every aspect of the game.

I have encountered that in our local as well, there are people that's like they're gathering a crowd and they'll challenge everyone to bet. Some of the people that will bet first will be allowed to win and I think those that are winning are also their colleagues into this fooling trick.
I have never bet because I thought of there's something wrong with it and it is unusual to see a flock of people getting into something that's not really interesting at all so, that's what I thought that even a few people in the crowd are their accomplices.

Gambling is a game for the brave and not the weak of mind, because in as much as how skillful that lady might have claimed she is, she ought to have known that she can never always beat the house or street gambling, and as such gamble with only the amount of fund he can always afford to lose at each moments, rather than letting her been carried away by greed, and today regretting ever making such choice.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.

If you're gambling literally on the streets then you should expect to get hustled, so many of these scams are shown on youtube and there is a lot of variety to them. Ultimately they all prey on the deep down greed that exists in people. As you described, they are often a form of confidence trick - they will get you comfortable with winning, once, twice or even three times. Then they'll seek you draw you back in with much larger odds than you thought about at the beginning and suddenly you've lost sight of the small wins and lost a big bet. Nobody should approach people doing these sort of games on the street because they likely know how to handle themselves and have been doing this for quite some time.

This is a common scam people use in order to fool people out of their money, and at the same time discourage these losers from putting the matters to the hands of the authority. You wouldn't be confident telling the police that you lost your money from a bet anyway, and sure as hell they won't listen to you. This works because people are gullible enough to think they can make quick cash out of these types of shady deals. And they do, until the scammers stop lathering them with honey and biting a massive chunk out of them metaphorically, leaving them penniless in the process.
Gambling is a choice, getting scammed is not. But that's not to say you can't protect yourself from them. Be smart, be vigilant, and if it's too good to be true, walk away and move on with your life and more important things because 9 times out of 10, it is.
This is what happens to tourist in almost in every big city. First time I saw something like this is when I was visiting Barcelona lucky I was young like 18years old. It looks tempting and one of my friends lost some money. Then I stand by side and looked, they are team of people some of them are like playing too and trying to convince you to put more money in. People need to be careful of those scams.
I have experience this type of scams too and they're so annoying because you won't know that you have fallen for their tricks until they scam you. They're very convincing and might use other people to convince you as well.
If you're not careful you won't realized those so-called pass by are also part of their scam cycle and they scam lots of tourists and there's nothing that you can do since you agreed to play and bet your money to win the bets like others.
They make you feel you're wining or let their partners win so you believe you can win also but immediately you bet money you begin to lose. In this position, just should wake away and don't create a scene as everyone there is involved in the scam.

You could blame others but we all know that it was you who made it on your own.
Most of the time people are driven by their greed that would lead to their missery and for them to feel a bit better they tend to take it out on others or blame others for it.
one thing i can't understand is why these people even though they are losing they keep playing a primitive game while they can play in an online casino that is demonstrably fair, of course in both cases people will lose money, but at least those people in casinos online with a good reputation there will be bonuses, it is not a form of profit but it is a good incentive, rather than playing something meaningless, honestly it is quite strange that nowadays when most people have a phone with internet they are still playing these types of games
in my country all people just play slot machines in the markets and streets and online casino games, and see that my country is very poor, but nobody wastes more time and money playing putting money in these traditional games, because people have already realized that they are not games that are proven to be fair and most of the time they always ended in a fight and serious injuries and were banned in my country, they can only be played for fun, but even for fun people don't play them anymore because they fear that the same thing will happen in the past

When you lose, I usually just scream, don't have to cry and hope to ask the casino to return my money, besides gambling, we must be prepared to lose whatever we risk, because if we don't want to lose money, then don't gamble, you should play demo games instead of playing real gambling, casino online provides DEMO games to play and people can gamble without having to spend money.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.
Gamblers have a choice to play or not, if they choose to continue the game then they must be prepared to lose all their bet money, I'm sure every choice will be chosen consciously and all those who choose that, don't expect the lost money to return, let alone hope to be returned.
When I play there are usually some of my friends who watch me playing, and it is a moment where I will say my Babhwa is a reliable gambler when I win, and vice versa if I lose my friend will mock me because I think I'm not a lucky person.

I think you might be confusing a scam with actual gambling. If, as you say, the bet was decided for you, then that a scam. Nobody should be able to manipulate the outcome of a bet in order to steal someone's money. But if the bet was fair and the only reason for winning/losing is pure luck, then thats fair. Even if you lose all your money in the end. If the lady in your story kept winning out of luck, she should have known it better to stop before she ruins her winnings. She kept going and eventually, she lost it all.
She did not control herself or her emotions and that lack of discipline was her undoing. Of course we all wish that we could get our money back if we lose, but then that would not be called gambling, would it? Would you also be willing to give back your winnings, if you win?
