One thing we all should keep in mind is that in the long run we can never beat the house edge.
So if we calculate our wins and loses throughout the year then the number of losses will mostly be higher than the wins.
Hence whatever money we put in gambling should be considered as gone and we should never gamble to make profits.
Yes, we can hope to win some profits and gamble for fun but never ever we should keep hopes that we can consistently win money in gambling.
Topic: Gambling Is for the strong. (Read 818 times)
I am sure it's not for the weak. Has your friend ever thought about all those ideas before he lost a lot of money in gambling? Because most of the time it just happens to those who have lost all their funds. But don't get me wrong this guys, when they find a new way to make money they will just go back to gambling. What comes out their mouth isn't really true, it's just their mental state is being clouded by their loss but give them back their money and I am sure they will gamble it again.
Your friend might need help first before he thinks about businesses and investments.

If you already feel pleasure in playing gambling and you feel that you have difficulty controlling your emotions, you should learn to control your emotions first. So you are not tempted to continue playing gambling, especially if you have lost several times. That will make you even more curious and you may use more money afor gambling. And when that happens, what's on your mind is how you can get a win even if you have to use more so it's not worth it.Playing gambling must be done carefully and always calculate how much money you have used so you can know when you have to stop gambling. Do not let you spend all the money in one game because there is still tomorrow to play gambling again.
excessive losses comes because we chase our defeat , why not try to return the next day or at least week of resting then by that Luck will be friendly to our side.

This thoughts could've come to most of the gamblers after big loss. Personally my gambling thought is different, because I never spend on things that aren't necessary but I wish to have it. I'll try to manage with what is available. When it comes to gambling, I easily end up losing. Once after losing my mind says atleast I could've bought the things that I wished to buy. Recently I saved money to buy a cycle as New year's first purchase, finally thought of giving a try with gambling and lost everything. Till date I wasn't able to buy the cycle which I wished to have it for my regular usage.
Changing plans from wanting to buy something useful for ourselves but instead using it for gambling and ending up losing everything is a valuable lesson and one to always remember so as not to make the wrong decision again.If we can only use small money then why force big money, what is meant by the strong are those who use money according to their abilities in gambling, if he has $1 million dollars and bets $750K then he will be bankrupt too, so adjust it according to ability so gambling can be for anyone as long as it is done according to ability and done with responsible.
It's not only gambling for the strong, but anything in this world is only for the strong because if you're not strong enough you will get beaten by a person who's stronger than you. If you're not strong in your company, other person can replace you, if you're not strong to become a father, your wife will ask to break up and you will be lonely etc. Gambling is only for the strong because you need to have a good money management and strong mental, otherwise you will become an addict.
But the problem is many people who are not strong at gambling will become even more curious about gambling and use more money. But gambling is for everyone who wants to do it and is not limited to people who have a lot of money or don't have a lot of money. Gambling temptations can make people play where they started gambling because they were curious about how much others had earned. But along with the duration of playing gambling, it makes them get the problems that we often encounter in gambling.And if they are not strong in controlling themselves during gambling, they will not be able to win but will instead lose many times. That will make them desperate and regret their decision to gamble before but they cannot return the money lost at the gambling table because everything is gone and nothing is left.
Emotionally weak people usually fall into gambling addiction because they can't control their emotions and even their urge to gamble. Gambling is not for emotionally and financially unstable people because those who can't manage their emotions will also have a hard time making firm decisions. Those who are experiencing continuous losses tend to bet more trying to recover their losses and usually fall for a deeper gambling addiction so being emotionally strong to face uncertain and upsetting situations is necessary when it comes to gambling so we'll know how to deal with the risk of losing.

I have seen people having good jobs but are addicted to gambling, so it's not perculier to regularly money but greed in some cases.
I would choose business/savings or whatever else rather than gambling. To expect success from gambling is sheer stupidity.
That's right. The problem is that many people put too much hope in gambling. Gambling should be seen as a form of entertainment that you pay for with money you don't need and that can occasionally bring you some extra cash, not as a way to get rich with little effort. Saving is more monotonous and setting up a business requires effort, whereas with gambling you can, if you are lucky, hit a jackpot with little effort and that is what attracts people. What happens is that the probability of hitting the jackpot is very low and that most people have already spent more on gambling than they receive in the jackpot by the time they win it.
And only when we lose do we begin to appreciate. Your friend should stop gambling if he loses large sums on a regular basis this may end badly for him as he will try to win back all the lost money and as we do it will not end well. Better to stop in time and get a good lesson.it is better to start saving money for the future and then he will decide for himself how to use it.
People dont usually hear up others opinion and advises no matter how close you are with your friend on which he would really be doing on what are the things on his mind no matter what.Its none of your business on what he would gonna do with his money.
There are people who think they are always right and the decision they make is good for theirselves because sometimes they think that he could enjoy the game or rather can earn few bucks for playing those casino games. But at the end of this once they realize that they are wrong provably he will think about what his friend say might true because there's nothing good happen to them. Although this came up late but at least he was advice by his good friend and for sure realization will came up qfter that.
Because they have positive determination in terms of predictions etc., without being able to be controlled by other people.
Unfortunately this is related to advice given by a friend, if someone is given good advice but instead feels better in his decision, that is just as stubborn and very bad.
But I really believe that someone who is given advice by a friend but ignores good things, only circumstances can give the best advice to the gambler, such as losing streaks and losing all his savings.
Dunno if someone else noticed but you have good writing skills, I loved reading this story of yours.

But then he asked me' bro assuming I had gathered all these money I have lost through gambling and channeled it into some sort of a little business or project, wouldn't it have been better! At that moment I never knew the exact word to give to him as I never expected such deep a question, for the least I replied him was "hmm I can't really say".
Looks to me like your friend is experiencing what I may call gambler's regret that came as a result of the poor choices he made and the losses he incurred. Trust me, he wouldn't have channeled the lost monies into any little business or project because if he would, he won't be looking for sympathy from you.

With this, I wondered if other person's here in the forum that are into gambling too has at any point in time thought or felt that way, particularly when the losses are becoming overwhelming. And in that case, should such person stop gambling and rather divert such monies into something else since he/she ain't making corresponding wins or more, checking his bet history, Or he should carry on with hopes that winnings will start creeping in someday gradually?
Who wouldn't? Whenever I gamble irresponsibly, compulsively to escape pain, hurt or whenever I gamble out of my bidget and lose, I feel this way. Maybe the losses/pain are a better teacher than wins. I have been able to overcome these feelings by setting a gambling budget, having some persons to hold me accountable for gambling. I have a set time for gambling and I do not spend more than I have allocated for it.

Every player needs to keep in mind that betting is not an investment, but exactly the opposite.
If you want to win money, don't play!
The Game was made for entertainment purposes, and the possible profit is a mere consequence for few.
Although in sports betting, for example in football, it is possible to have an idea of who can win a game, anything can happen in a match and luck turns. A player may not enter the field, the opposing team may have a new signing and even the team's disposition may affect the result, which may be negative. There are so many variables that the factor that weighs the most is chance/luck or bad luck.
In turn, investments have a logic behind them. When investing in a company, for example, even without knowing whether it will grow or not in the short term, the fundamentals help to have a more critical view. A solid company that presents good numbers may even face a crisis (generally following the market in general), but it will do well in a while.
In betting there is no such possibility of medium and long term. Each bet is for a specific event, such as a football or basketball match. It's a guess about how the team's result will be at that moment - which could be good today and bad in two weeks, for example.
And only when we lose do we begin to appreciate.

The important thing is that he do enjoy on what he's doing but we know that too much engagement and involvement with gambling could really be ending up on a disaster.
You would be making yourself get fall into the pit of addiction and would hardly be able to get out once you do shackled from it.

It's not gambling that is for the strong. Investing, taking a risk, starting your own company... We could argue that all of it is for the strong.
When we decided to have a child I didn't know how it would be, didn't know what to expect, but I was positive. The reality was much harder. We had sleepless nights, times when we didn't know what to do, days when we just wanted to stay in bed. Many people give up at the sight of problems, but those who endure do well in life.
Your friend is just weak and he has to go through this to become stronger. If not in gambling he'd face difficulties in business, family, or any other part of life.

I strongly believe this notion because gambling needs a lot of calculations, endurance and consistency, as a gambler you have to be calculative in other to choose the part you roll in gambling I mean the particular bet and how to predict them fairly because I can't say accurately, you also have to endure no matter the loss that may occur, for you to win you have to be consistent always so it takes a strong person to take such decision.

I would unequivocally say yes, because gambling is just entertainment.
None of us knows what starting a business can lead to. You will either become a successful businessman or you will lose your business. But whatever the outcome, you'll test yourself, learn new skills, and make new friends. It's all worth it to try to start your own business. And you will always have time to gamble.

I got this caption based on what happened when I visited an old friend of mine as it's been long since we saw, and so, after a little time out together with random discussions I discovered a sudden change in his mood while we're still chatting. With a steady look on his phone in his hands for about a minute or more as he scrolled up and down the phone screen repeatedly he shrouded his shoulders with a simultaneous regrettable look all over his face.
I took the phone from him only to learn that my friend has been calculating the whole series of losses he has made from all the bets he has placed from one of the gambling site he patronize. He had made a multiples of losses in almost all the games he had placed bet on right from the start of this year, even to the current bet of that very day.

It depends, if you are spending too much money each time you start a gambling session then maybe it is time to reevaluate if you are getting enough out of gambling compared to the money you are spending, personally this has never happened to me because my gambling budget is very low and I think of it in the same way as I think of any other form of entertainment, so as long as your expenses are along those lines then there should be nothing to regret.
