Basically all gamblers know and understand very well about the MYTH and FACTS above, but in fact all of that is refuted, if gamblers really implement all the MYTH, there are no more gambling sites running until now. Gambling is a game that encourages a person's adrenaline to grow and grow, someone plays gambling not only to seek victory, but there are also those who want to find fun. Gamblers who visit casinos or online sites have different intentions, usually gamblers who want to get rich, the potential for losing is greater than gamblers who just want to have fun.
If your goal is to win quickly, then the potential for losing is greater. But if your intention is just to have fun, you certainly know when it's time to stop.

lol, I'm really amused by the 9th fact 
I'm a gambler and have never even violated the speed limit. I wonder how many people believe that?
Not all gamblers are involved in criminal actives but some are involved, have seen someone before that will have to steal just to gambling, the guy is addicted to gambling and can do anything to get money to gamble. I believe those that involve in criminal activities just to finance their gambling are those that are really addicted to gambling, but people that gamble just for fun or relaxation don't really involve in crimal activities that's why I always advise people not to be addicted to gambling. I'm a gambler and have never even violated the speed limit. I wonder how many people believe that?
Myth 12: Problem Gambling Can’t Be Treated
>> Fact: Any person with a gambling addiction is capable of full and lasting recovery with the right help and the willingness to accept that help.
Here, of course, it is crucial that a person realizes his dependence on gambling and, wanting to find a solution to his problem himself, turns to specialists, this is a two-way road and trying to prove something and convince a gambler of what he cannot or does not want to perceive, as it seems to me, is not possible.
Recently a person caught arrested for stealing money from the company. Once after stealing the funds the person have gamble and lost everything. Now the company wasn't able to recover the funds. Further on investigation the fund he lost have been continuously withdrawn by a single account. Then the cops found the truth. The plan was executed by two friends, in which they've played against each other and the winning amount apart from the platform commission have been withdrawn by his friend.
IQ 30 move
What is the point of this scheme if they were caught anyway, and even if it was assumed that the second friend would save the money, then the first one would receive a prison term? Apparently they (the first friend) value their time at large cheaper than being in prison. But since the scheme was revealed, their plan completely failed.

That was silly and should I say well-executed plan. That simply means that gambling could be a way for criminals to withdraw their stolen money but I didn't imagine that they would think of such thing to escape. It seems like the criminal and his friends have planned for this for a long time. I feel sorry for the compnay but I guess they couldn't really recover the funds.

Quite clever. I have read that gambling can be used by criminals to lauder money, i assume those operations are quite difficult to track if done properly. Could you please send a link to the source of that story if you have it? I would like to give it a look myself, please.
I agree with the research above (but the pros and cons are still there) because it was my first time playing gambling because of an invitation from my friend who said "gambling is a way to make money". now the days have passed and until now I still gamble but with controlled portions.
I'm a little curious, are there any mythical sentences above that make you all start gambling and can't stop gambling or even because the sentence above makes you a gambling addict or even stop gambling?
It takes time and experience to prove that all these myths are false and you will get all the facts after reading the experiences of other gamblers and from your own experiences as well, but if you're a new gambler and you have become fully aware of these myths and facts about gambling you are on your way to becoming a responsible gambler, knowledge and control are what makes a responsible gambler.

I wonder how many people believe that?This crime will happen if the person will get hook to much on gambling and he didn't get proper guidance from his relatives that's why they go on darkest point on their life. If they are already doing crime just to have money to gamble I guess its better for this people to go to rehab and any other help like advices will not really work at them, also believing any myths that can change them will for sure not work since this need professional intervention.

Myth 9: All Gamblers Engage in Criminal Behavior
>> Fact: Gamblers who seek and accept help can recover before they have to resort to criminal activity to finance their gambling.
Myths 9>> Fact: Gamblers who seek and accept help can recover before they have to resort to criminal activity to finance their gambling.
The number nine applies only to those gamblers who become completely bankrupt after gambling. Later they can't remove themselves from gambling and thus involve themselves in various anti-social activities to drain the economy.Those gamblers lost all their possessions and became disoriented and became addicted to drugs, robberies,and indulges in other anti-social activities.
I think it only applies to Problem Gambler who has sold everything they have and has this uncontrollable urge to gamble that makes them commit criminal activity. Since gambler who has no mental disorder can always think of a possible way to find a job or earn money. Aside from that, I believe personal moral level always plays a huge part in this myth.
And that person will not try to get more involved in gambling because he knows that once he is a problem gambler, he can get involved in crime because he wants to earn money just to gamble.
I have to admit, these facts are real and I happened to experienced one of them a few days ago but I'm not playing with money rather I was just upgrading my item in my MMORPG game which has some 50/50 chance of success and failure. Fact number 11 got me because I was convinced that I'm gonna extend my power that day because I feel like it was my day but the result was contrary because it fails misserably and my character power decrease dramatically.
If it's 50/50 then your chance to win is high but in a real gambling it can't be 50/50 but I think the ratio of winning is always lower versus to losing. It's only weird that your power decreases dramatically. Was it the consequence you are getting if you didn't win? I think that's unfair because it was not free at the first place but you are using your in game money. Like you and the many, I think the myth no.11 got me a lot of times before. I feel lucky so I gamble even the last balance in my wallet but I only got disappointed and regret. I could have use that balance on to something else that is more surer that you can see what you paid for but now I learn.
A feeling of luck... You feel that today you are very lucky in life... You feel a surge of strength and a great mood...
Is this a guarantee of your winnings? Can a person foresee his winning or losing in a game of chance?
This is a very difficult question...
There is a theory that a person's mood affects the surrounding reality. However, if this theory is correct, could a person's positive mood increase their chances of winning at gambling?
More likely no than yes. At least, science has not fixed such a dependence. In any case, this is not a direct, but an indirect dependence. Such dependence (if it is not a fiction, but a real dependence), in my opinion, is difficult to use to your advantage.

I think people who still believe in myths in gambling places are just people who are used to myths and often use them for whatever things are happening to them because in gambling places so far what I know is that everything can be set and provided with additional source code. then the myth can never happen, everything has been programmed to win or lose depending on luck and not a myth.

It's basically how the human mind works. We are always looking for patterns, explanations, etc. Even if there's nothing there, just random. Our mind gives us a possible explanation: "I lost because of that black cat that crossed in front of me last night". It doesn't make sense, but that doesn't matter. Our minds will just take any explanation when there's nothing there.
That's how myths are created. People just sort of believe in those things and keep repeating them. Of course it's nonsense though, but that doesn't stop our minds to keep telling that to ourselves.
This is a pretty good assessment of all of the bullshit you hear out of peoples mouths who are against gambling and the legalization of gambling in their country/state/city. Now Myth number six here on your list I do not agree with necessarily. Yes this is the case for some games, but there’s a lot of gambling games where knowing how the game works well can absolutely benefit the player. Blackjack and poker are two prime examples.
Myths exist in every field of life and not just gambling. Also, Gambling Myths are not something that is introduced to keep people away from gambling. It's just the general perception of the people and mostly those people who believe in these myths are not active gamblers. Those who gamble regularly will not pay much attention to these myths.
Two of these myths are what I disagree with, but that doesn't mean I agree with many of the other myths.
I gamble not because I am in trouble because of finances, it is absolutely because of the pleasure and curiosity of how I can achieve victory. Of course addiction is inevitable when the mindset of having fun turns into a desire to get back lost money, and this has been covered in many topics on responsible gambling.
Then secondly, I don't gamble every day and this I do whenever I want as long as I want. It's not about money, but it's because of curiosity that my defeat won't be so bothersome. I don't steal for gambling and I don't cheat for gambling, and I hope this never happens to me who was never really addicted to gambling.
