Gambling is for the strong and sturdy.
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?

No matter how strong your desire to win a large sum in gambling is, always try to keep yourself in hand and not give in to false urges. I'm just judging by myself since I've never had big wins and just even if I use the available free funds for the game, it's just for fun.

There are 2 types of people who playing some gambling games, the 1st type is the people who seek fun wherein they have positive attitude whatever the outcome. They are playing for them to satisfy their dopamine and also their desire. The other type of gambler is the one who seek money, the one who want to extract money from the gambling platform but only few are able to make it and majority of them having ginancial disaster because they lose big amount of money in gambling.

I'm a type of gambler who seek for fun but also there are times that I want to win and extract some money. The thing is, I have strong mental fortitude that helps me to decide well in gambling. I usually bet in NBA games, Esports games and other betting games that requires analysis for me to have a higher chance of winning.

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".

The answer you gave is the best answer for someone in his situation. He was gambling to win, because he expected to make money so he kept spending money gambling, now he regrets because his expectation has not been met. If he was not gambling, there is certainty that whatever he had put the money into will not land him in this same position of regrets. Tell your friend that what is done is done, and money gone is gone.

Yeah best advise to give is to move on and learn from his mistake since if he still regret those losses for sure he cannot move on fast with that. Maybe add up if he can't afford to gamble maybe he need to stop and find other ways to entertain his self like making his little plans came true since for sure this could help a lot to save his ass away to gamble back again.

I hear this quite a lot from people advising others to stop their drinking or smoking vices. I guess your friend has turned his gambling into a vice as well if he already asked you that.

Nobody would know if his little business or project would have generated profit if he decides to divert his money so this is probably a case to case basis. Does he have the skills to run a business or make the right investments? I think you were right when you responded "I can't really say".

It's a well known fact that if you gamble a lot, you will most likely be a loser at it. Gambling is not a job for most. Yes there are some profitable sports bettors, poker players, and in rare cases blackjack/slots players. Overall though, a very high % of gamblers are down lifetime. Casinos know that the longer they can keep someone gambling, the better chance the house edge catches up and the player loses.
Only gamble what you can afford to lose and don't try to make it your job.

Those who choose gambling as a profession. They can never progress in their life. It is possible to get rich by gambling, but not everyone's luck is ready for it. Predictions for sports bettors can be made through the performance of teams in previous games, in which case predictions work most of the time. So from here it is possible to win most of the time if one has good knowledge of sports. But gambling can never guarantee profit. So everyone should have a fixed job. and using gambling only as a form of entertainment

Predictions do not work most of the time. The name says it all. In order to be successful predicting sports you have to put in the time and effort along with doing tons of research to give yourself the best chance to be correct on your prediction.

Gambling is truly a matter of luck + skills (in some games). Those who can't take the losses shouldn't do it at all, because the ones who are unable to bear with it are the ones who do not deposit something they can't afford to lose. Trying to recover losses is another bad way to keep gambling because that way, you'll get more demotivated if you keep losing more. Not winning for a long time doesn't mean that you can't ever win in a game, but for that, only play with what you can afford to lose and won't regret later after it's lost.

Exactly those that don't have to balls to withstand losses should avoid gambling in totality as it will not help them in any way because, in the end, they will always end up being sad from the results of their bets or games sessions.

-Gambling has a lot to do beyond just luck and those coming into gambling based on luck without skills or preparedness for rainy days, Experienced gamblers are already used to this and that is what always gives them the guts to continue even when they lose some time.

Gambling is not an easy job. Looking at it every minute makes you psychologically tired and distressed. It is not a job that every person can do with patience and effort. You need to take your own risk and determine what you can lose. For this, you should have some limits when betting. You need to enter by taking the risk of losing and not think too much about the bet you make.
If it's going to cause you so much trouble and affect your life so much, you shouldn't get involved in gambling at all.Otherwise it's hard to get out of here.This is actually like an addiction and when you don't play, you feel like something is missing in your life.This time, as you spend time here, you start to get away from other things.

Yes and no. If gambling is for fun, then you don't need to be strong when you want to get some adrenaline in the evening and bet a couple of bucks. But if you set a goal for yourself to make money on gambling, then for this you will need many different qualities, without which you will not be able to win in the long run.

For me, gambling seems too tiring if it is considered as an activity for making money on an ongoing basis, for me it is more difficult than monitoring charts in trading. And losing between when I play for fun and when I plan to make money on it is perceived differently, which adds additional difficulties.

Likely your friend is an addict that have spent huge amount of money on gambling, the best would be to just channel huge amount of money on something else. If he is feeling tempted and not able to use small amount on gambling, he should leave gambling for many months without visiting any gambling site or place, he should focus on business.

Quitting gambling is a very difficult task for a person who is addicted to gambling. Because gambling addiction makes him forget his normal behavior. So he is constantly addicted to gambling. And can't think of anything other than gambling very easily. He sees gambling as an easy way to get rich

- What do you mean gambling is only for the strong? Are they gamblers who can lose gambling or bet big on gambling or bring money to the casino to gamble?

Because gambling can bring us entertainment while we are bored, it can also cause us to become addicted to it, and it can also give us a lot of money if we are lucky and above all, it can also cause the destruction of the family if we are careless. a gambler

maybe the OP meant that for those who want to play gambling, it is better for those who are mentally and financially strong. although the goal is to have fun and anyone can access it. what is feared is the risk of addiction from novice gamblers. if you don't have good finances, it can really affect your financial situation, which can be messed up because of gambling. all also depends on self-control.

That's why it's important to just gamble for fun and not think about winning, because I think if this is the style of a gambler or player, I'm sure that winning while enjoying gambling is second only to the happiness of a gambler.

Then it's better and nicer when you win gambling that you don't expect because if you expect to win gambling for sure you don't realize while you're waiting to win you don't notice that the amount you lost is big and then you don't enjoy it.

Well, as they always say, you should never gamble more than what you can afford to lose. But your friend definitely didn't follow this since he lost a significant amount of money in gambling that as he said he could use for something useful for himself like a business or something. So it is not just for the strong but it is for those who show discipline and follow the rules that everyone should follow.

Gambling should be taken only as a source of entertainment, that's why you should only set aside a specific amount for gambling and shouldn't play more if that amount is lost. That is the only way one can save yourself from getting completely bankrupt.

Gambling is not for the strong or a lot of money but for everyone. But if everyone who gambles only hopes to win a lot of money from gambling, they shouldn't approach gambling because not many people can make a lot of money from gambling. Only really lucky people can earn a lot of money.

If you have experienced a lot of losses from gambling, you must stop gambling and leave gambling to start a new life again without gambling. Gambling will not make you rich without luck; luck cannot always come when we gamble. Maybe you are still gambling, trying to control yourself but still, you can be tempted to use big money to gamble. So instead of experiencing another defeat, it's better for you just to stop gambling.

no matter how strong a person is, both mentally and financially, basically he will be fragile too when all his money runs out, even people who have a lot of money playing gambling will fall into poverty too, sometimes people don't control themselves before they fall, this thread can actually be used as self-reflection to stop before lose everything, believe me gambling cannot be used as a steady income let alone a job, even from 100% of players there is only 1% luck, gamble wisely Wink

this happened with me many time, i lost money in gambling after all i decided to run an ad campaign for my business by saving the money i lose in gambling, by which i can get more sells per month, and it worked i got 15% to 20% more sells than previous month,
money i saved without wasting in gambling and investing in business earned me , i can go to a trip with my family.
in gambling we can earn money so fast and that money also go so fast,
and if you have money that you are willing to waste or lose, because you definitely gamble for fun(you know you play for fun or.....)
gambling with some reasonable amount is very entertaining, may be one time we got lucky and win a big sum of money, but most commonly many will always lose.

His gambling attitude naturally suggests that he is an addicted gambler. I don't know how big his winnings are but no doubt that he always big bets he makes. Moreover, he himself said that he chose this as his business. As a result, his investment is much higher than the average gambler. And here is the proof of his addiction. If he manages gambling by freeing himself from the addiction and can enjoy the pleasure from here without turning it into a business or a tool for money gain, then gambling will definitely not be a major disaster for him.

Many people seek gambling as a form of entertainment and sometimes it could be used to gain more money by somehow focusing on playing gambling like their job and setting aside other important things just the playing of it, not all the time do gamblers win games it's just the luck base and not always this happens better if you have tons of money and just willingly get entertained with this expensive habit. Better as always consider your current status if you are afford to capable to play gambling or just even make a limit with yourself.

Well, such a person would do well to consider whether to invest the money in more productive things, such as buying bitcoin, rather than continuing to use it in an activity where he will lose money in the long run by having the odds stacked against him. The downside is that buying bitcoin won't give him the excitement that gambling does, but it's a much better way to spend his money.

In gambling, some of the money can be considered spent on entertainment, but if you say that the losses are overwhelming, it is a sign that it is no longer just entertainment and the thing has gone out of control.
