What are your thoughts?

Depends. If the goal you set yourself is realistic, you won't have any problems. However, if you go to the casino with $100 and you expect to walk out with $100,000 because you think it's the only solution to your miserable life, it's easier when you lose the $100 to take out another $100, or $1,000 or borrow it or whatever.

$100 invested in Kaspa months ago is now six figures, I am not saying that all crypto investment are like this but I will rather take my chances with something that's likely to happen than gambling, $100 is too high for gambling even if I am making thousands in a month, this is just common sense, gambling is wired to be unfair to gamblers.

My advice is it is better not to have your mind on hitting the jackpot as a gambler, you will start misbehaving sooner or later,  expectations over expectations, winning is not a must in gambling, lower your expectations, risk very little amount.

             -      Gamblers don't have the same goal in mind; to be honest, what about other gamblers whose only goal is to have fun and who don't care if they lose? Right? It seems that entertainment is really the only reason for gambling.

Although there are others who really gamble because they consider it a source of income, others cannot complete the day if they don't gamble every day of their lives, and these types of gamblers are really addicted.
Someone who makes gambling a place to have fun and doesn't care when they lose, in my opinion is one way to avoid addiction, with the note that even though they don't care about losing, they still shouldn't chase the loss. Or in other words, when they lose they will stop gambling and come back after having some money that can be bet. However, if they don't care when they lose but still gamble, that's not good either. However, it should also be remembered that this can also be the beginning of addiction, even though at first they have fun and can stop, but when it becomes a habit then there will be an urge where when they don't gamble it's like something is missing. This must also be considered, don't let that feeling control your mind, because if it's like this then it will still end up with the same case.

Weird. Isnt just winning is already enough? Isnt to win is a good goal before starting a game? Because from “winning a specific amount” it start to look a bit like chasing losses. While trying to win a specific amount, a gambler might bet again and again, until it is to late to stop. I would say that having such s goal is dangerous. I would better place a bet and hope I was right at might prediction, then be happy about it, then trying to win a specific amount.
Having such a goal is a little dangerous when it's realistically small and more dangerous if the player expects to win a huge amount. Setting a high goal in gambling develops a negative impression on a player and increases his chances of chasing losses. But, if a player got in mind to achieve a smaller amount, he can achieve his goals, and he'd have no reason to go for more.
I agree with @TopTort777 that it could be a dangerous goal. We must not set an exact number because a problem might happen.

I am doing this now.
Let's say the minimum withdrawal is $20 and a gambler deposited $10. Now, what's next? If he wins and makes it to $20. Should he withdraw? Yes, for me.
Now, let's say the $10 increased to $19 so he has no choice but to gamble more and then he wins another $10 which makes his total $29. Should he withdraw? Yes, for me.
No exact number but as long as I hit that minimum withdrawal point, I stop and think. That way it will help us decide what to do next. If we are satisfied with it, walk out, withdraw, and enjoy it.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.

What are your thoughts?
Here lies the diversity of gambling where people usually gamble with two types of goals. A group of people who participate in gambling for money will certainly react strongly if you lose a bet. But those who gamble primarily for entertainment do not experience any negative reactions if they lose their bets. However, those who bet with the intention of winning money are the ones who mainly face large losses at the end of the bet. So mainly entertainment should be given priority to participate in gambling.
That's a beautiful talk, our mindset towards gambling matters and we need to preserve it. Anyone desperate for the money will always face gambling on wrath, except in a few cases where the gambler is lucky. Anything we want so badly will always cause desperation and desperation will always ruin gamblers. Though it's not so bad to gamble for the money but we should never let it get to the level that it will be pushy or gambling as if our lives depend on it, the end will never be fine.

If we told ourselves the truth as well, you'll hardly find those who are gambling typically for the fun of it and yet some are making money with that mindset. This can only suggest that one can still pursue their gambling goals regardless of whether it is for the money or fun, but they need to have a viable plan on how to make it work for them without hurting themselves. If you are gambling for the money, you should have your plans on the strategy to use, the budget and risk management. These must also align with the kind of person you are because if you calculate them wrongly, there is no way it will not affect your psychology when you are losing and this can cause some undesired ripple effect that may not limit it to frustration.

I do think that gamblers who take gambling activities seriously have their motivation come from the amount  they envision and hope to win, hence why they remain persistent in gambling instead of quitting after winning a little.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.

In essence the thought process a gambler focuses on during any gambling activities will determine if such a gambler would gamble much more or lesser than normal and also, if such a gambler would become successful at their gambling endeavors.

Fun is addiction dont you know? When you gamble for fun you tend always to want to have fun every day and most people spend so much time gambling every day with the idea that they are gambling for fun. And if you check how much they must have lost you will understand that it is no more fun again because they start chasing wins to recover from the loss—gradually their mood changes then it's now about the win. Gambling for fun is just an idea on the surface that blinds so many people into gambling to think they are not addicted to gambling. It takes time for them to realize that they have been addicted for years and would quit gambling.

It could be dangerous if you don't have any self-control and more likely to chase more winnings. And when you thought that you are lucky already, comes in the late games some unfavorable result to you. The OP mind have been correct though we should have a profit in mind, but when the game begun, it's very hard to control and even if we have that money in our pocket, who knows, maybe you will continue till you win or lose in the end.

As for my experience, sometimes I fall for this, as again, as I was playing, most of the time this philosophy have slip my mind and so I will have to really master myself and be in composure that I should be happy already with the winnings in my hand already.

Totally, it's important to not only have this thought in mind but to utilize it in the situations where it's needed. I wish you good times ahead and to master yourself even better Grin

Good thinking, I also believe it, where people who have an orientation towards money in gambling then he is the one who will experience addiction faster and lose more money than people who just play for fun.

The thought process affects a person in understanding an object, so with gambling, use your brain to talk about the possibilities in gambling, especially in games based on luck.

You are right! And I think fun should be the corner stone for people to strive for, not the money. Because that way, it's better for yourself in the long run.

That's not true... People get their motivation from different sources and sadly, that's the only way they can quit or keep the consistency.. I mean, you barely know which ticket will cut it, so how do you get enticed?

There's absolutely nothing fun about gambling with a specific amount in mind... Why do I really need to feel entitled to a win? It looks to me like that's just another way to assert too much pressure, there by, counting on more losses.
Having this kind of thought is as good as hoping to get a jackpot on a a particular ticket... meanwhile, somethings don't just happen when you want them to.

I don't think any gambler will be stupid to get this kind of mindset and also want to gamble. It's only logical to see a person that win or lose without a reason than losing because you're to greedy with a define amount of money on mind. I'm not sure if that is longer gambling but a way to make money, not a way to fun but a way to look for money and that beat the intension of gambling.

Even though you are the gambling freak and likes casino very well, it will not end well when you have a definite amount amount of money to be made. You will lose everything to gambling before you win something frkm any casino that you bet your money into.

Most gamblers are not always satisfied with the little amount they win, they are always wanting more. That’s why, after winning a little amount of money, they will want to gamble with it just to increase it. At the end, most of them do end up losing everything, even the little win that they had when they started gambling.

A gambler with a winning amount in mind, gambles much more and can become easily addicted than a gambler just gambling for fun and without a particular winning amount in mind.
If you are gambling for fun, then there is no way that you are going to be addicted to gambling. The only people that I know get addicted to gambling are the ones who are gambling for the sake of money. They are the once’s that I know who get addicted to gambling because they are always desperately in need of money, and after winning, they always have the confidence that if they keep on gambling, they will increase their win.

OP, don't you dream of winning the jackpot? I think that everyone who sits down to gamble has in mind to win as much as possible. But not everyone can stop in time, and here a problem arises for the latter. There is a saying: "You can want a lot, but alas, it is difficult to be able to do everything." Therefore, you can collect your capital received from gambling in slow steps, so that after each game you come out with a winner, you need to stop in time.


Absolutely right, but not everyone is going to hit the jackpot... Gambling with a winning amount In mind is a wrong mental construct to approach the game...I even see it as a way of getting addicted to it, because you would try multiple times just to get that winning amount in your head... gambling is all about luck, it's important to play for fun purposes only so that you don't get disappointed by the results if it doesn't play out in your direction

From my observation of what you narrated, I think that from the angle whereby people understand the concepts of gambling, I think that they participate in gambling base what they had in mind, a gambler knows it staking limits and you can't displeased yourself in gambling in order to pleased other fellow gambling participants,

So what I'm saying in nutshell is that people who people who placed big amount in bet and think of wining such bet is people who has undergoes different risks of gambling, but a newbie or novice in gambling should not such ideology to stake what it can't afford to lose in order to win large amounts of funds in gambling, so from my principles of understanding gambling, I know very well that gambling has to do with risk but take the risk with precaution.

Majority of gamblers when they experience failure must always think about trying it again and looking for other games or bets that can provide opportunities to produce the desired victory so that what is called control can never be determined.

Yes, I agree, we should try, but with intelligence, if in a bet we were putting about 10 or 15 dollars, in which we should try we should do it with 1 or 2 usd, because if we continue losing at least it will not be done with that much money, and if that happens it is because it must be within the money that we are willing to lose, it is not good to risk money that we cannot lose or that we have committed, because our life is managed in terms of money , for everything you need money and to spend it irresponsibly, that is not the idea.

Here in my country we can use $2 to stake up to 20 times because in some local and online betting the minimum amount a gambler can use to stake a game is 100 naira, which means you can stake 20 or more bets with $2, and guess what. You can be satisfied with it because for you to stake up to 20 times in between you have spend a lot of time on the betting shop. Although betting with $2 is depend on what the gambler can afford to risk, some will prefer to risk only $1. But we have more gamblers that can spend more on gamble and they are not addicted either, it's just what they can afford to risk.

Well that is a huge advantage, because I would be totally willing to just enjoy, 2 dollars is still money, because as I have said many times, sometimes you have to give importance even to 1 dollar, because if we are missing 1 dollar to be able to play in game X, and if we don't have it we wouldn't play, so I think that is very good, because betting 20 times and having the broad options to win is very good, how great your country is, those opportunities should not be wasted, and since they are Nairas it should be in Nigeria, wow, I like Nigeria more and more, I have seen a lot about Nigeria in videos and I like its culture, and especially its people.

I have noticed and skipped that topic for several times already, but find it impossible to resist not to comment. I dont really get what OP was talking about. First I thought that “winning amount in mind”, that is a situation, when a person has placed a bet, and hasnt won yet, but he already have a plan how to use his winning and that person plans to use money as a bet. I would say that a person should not rush that way to place another bet. Better wait when one bet is settled, then move to other.
It's more like setting a goal for how much you want to win, and if you achieve that, then you can consider yourself successful. This is necessary for every gambler, especially the serious ones, because without a specific goal, it becomes difficult to know when to stop. This can lead to not winning at all, as sometimes, even when we're ahead, we tend to become greedy until our luck changes, resulting in losing everything.

Weird. Isnt just winning is already enough? Isnt to win is a good goal before starting a game? Because from “winning a specific amount” it start to look a bit like chasing losses. While trying to win a specific amount, a gambler might bet again and again, until it is to late to stop. I would say that having such s goal is dangerous. I would better place a bet and hope I was right at might prediction, then be happy about it, then trying to win a specific amount.
