Topic: Have you achieved anything from gambling (Read 6759 times)

Even if a person knows the games they are playing inside out, it makes not difference at all because what matters is your luck at the time, and since the house edge is in favor of the casino, if you play for long enough you are bound to get negative results, with only a few lucky gamblers being able to obtain positive results, however the good thing about all of this is that unlike other activities in which our progress and achievements are everything, when it comes to gambling the only thing that matters is if we obtained any entertainment out of it, and if you did so responsibly then it does not matter if you lost a small amount of money.

One of the reasons why I would quite agree with your opinion about us who will never be able to beat the dealer is because after all the dealer creates and organizes all the games provided in a flatfoarm and we are nothing more than guests who come occasionally without knowing about the system or rules that are applied by the dealer in each game to make gamblers lose, and this is the reason why defeats occur more often than wins and also as you said where maybe I will also clearly agree that this is the reason why the dealer always wins.

This means that I think only the dealer knows about what strategies can beat the system they apply in a game, so I think it's better for us to focus on risk management rather than keep thinking about winning, because after all the victory has been arranged, so it's best to think of various ways to keep us safe and away from various bad possibilities.

Well that's wrong, they look for all the ways to beat the dealer, even though in gambling the house will always win, so in my opinion there is no way to beat the house, because they will always win. Even if we can win, it's not that we can beat the house but we are just lucky at that time. Our winning percentage is very small because after all this is a game that is more profitable for the house. People use strategies or tricks, but as far as I know those who use strategies or the like actually feel more defeats than wins. so I personally conclude that there is no strategy that will be successful because it depends on luck. I don't blame those who believe in strategies and the like, but for me personally I don't believe in it.

Its no innocent hobby. Casinos masterfully exploit human weaknesses. They can push your buttons and make you feel in control when you're not. These sites are designed to cloud your judgement, despite their free choice rhetoric. Even with the odds against you, they encourage you to play and spend. Psychological games always favour the house.

We must inform people of this fact. Gambling addiction goes beyond personal responsibility. Understanding how these venues utilise our innate tendencies is key. We must educate and equip them to avoid temptation. Its not about outlawing or demonising gambling. Empowering people to make educated decisions. We can only improve our gaming relationship that way.

Yes that is also true, in the context of "choosing" every decision is not always based on correct and rational considerations so that people make decisions to choose something that they are actually unable to account for in terms of risk, and most likely the decision was chosen because of the encouragement of something that tempts them like something that casinos do by paying influencers that you said to make people feel more interested in getting involved when they see the tempting game shows that influencers do.
But I think maintaining the following awareness by always responding to everything rationally will not make you wrong in making decisions.

You are right that gambling is a business for casinos, they provide the opportunity to win and the risk of losing, but casinos already know that of course everyone will prefer to win than the risk of losing money so as we see where the majority of gamblers tend to focus more on winning and even many of them are looking for various ways to beat the dealer, so as I said above where in any case and in any situation we must think rationally and consider every time we find new things.

That way, your well-being and nerves will be preserved. I admire your position on it. Really.

The more aggressive the gambler is to win at the same way his loss will increase more. There are some gamblers who cannot control their greed. Even after they win, they fail to take a break from their gambling and at one point they lose everything. Casino companies can win more from such gamblers. Another big profit for casino companies is that some gamblers are more aggressive after losing to recover their losses while there are others who lose their money to win more after winning. Just as the gambler must set limits on his needs, he must also set limits on his gambling. If gambling can be done between these two then surely he does not have to lose much even if he does not get much from gambling.

Not much have been made from gambling but just pure fun. Gambling with the intention of winning big is sometimes detrimental to the success of some gambler. I am not saying we shouldn't be ambitious when gambling but I'm suggesting that we should be take a subtle approach towards gambling with the aim of making fun out of it. Gambling took many dimensions some of which included people who took competitions in gambling thereby staking high amount of money to either win or lose. For me, it has been more of a fun thing and I don't do gambling with much ambition.

Gambling is a dopamine hit. The rush is real. The war is fought. This is reprogramming your brain, not white-knuckling it. Consider it as if your brain were a computer. Playing casino sets off a program. You get the impulse; the chemicals fire; you respond.  You must hack the system if you are to beat it

What sets off your reactions? From what perspective do you see the chain reaction? You can stop the pattern once you spot it. What drives you to gamble? What would be the reward? Worth the expense? Above all, brutal honesty is important. Manage two thoughts simultaneously. The excitement of the game, the peace of leaving.  Though it requires mental balancing, it increases resilience. This is not straightforward. It requires diligence, dedication, and even expert assistance. Still, it is possible. Remember, gambling ought to be a decision rather than a need. Not the game; you are in charge

Excellent observation! Although in general I agree, but perhaps I will note that the brain is still not quite a computer, or, one might say, a computer, but with a huge set of random events. Sometimes even a fly flying near you can cause a series of mental associations and even extinguish thoughts about the upcoming gambling. There are subtleties in the work of the brain that scientists still do not understand at all, since studying the brain is, one might say, the brain itself studying itself. And this is generally impossible.
And one cannot even imagine how to understand this. But in any case, the distracting thoughts from the game that you are talking about are the main tool in the fight against aggression from the gambling addiction that is coming upon you. And analytical thoughts like, why do I need this, what will I have, will I be very worried about losing and so on, are of course more important than simple everyday thoughts. But a serious level of self-control and discipline of thoughts is needed, without this nothing will work.

Yes, you are right that gambling is a choice, it depends on whether we want to get involved in it or not at all. But of course casinos will also try to attract more users, one of which is through advertising or promotions that they do. They are willing and able to spend a lot of money just to pay influencers or create promotional ads that will make people interested.
It should be underlined that casinos are also doing business here, so their goal in creating a gambling platform is to make a profit. So just by looking at that, we should be able to realize that gambling cannot make us get a steady income and make it more of a means for our entertainment. It will be a problem if we think gambling can be used as a place to get a steady income.

And most of the time that kind of thinking manage to let casino owners to earn more, if you divert your attention and start seeking for a money making venue and thinks that with luck and understanding you may able to take it from gambling, it's surely change your pace and taking that risk most of the time brings you a financial problem, though maybe there are some who can but we will not see more and more casino businesses to grow and more and more owners who taking the risk establishing a new one if the business is not doing well.

If you must gamble, do it moderately and if you must continue don't forget to take profits. That's the main part many people forget, you can't be gambling and be anticipating profits later, do it in any way you can to maximize your profits otherwise gambling isn't for you

I think more precisely gambling is nothing more than a choice, in the sense that everyone is free to choose whether they want to get involved or not at all, and of course as you said that the casino does not guarantee that every gambler will be able to win, there is no guarantee and certainty in an activity that is probabilistic, so this is why before you decide to get involved you must first consider, especially asking yourself whether or not you are ready to bear all the consequences of the risk.

On the other side of the story that you have told regarding your experience in gambling, then maybe I would say that what should be sought in gambling is not a big win but it is about how smart you are in controlling everything well so that you stay in the safe zone.

I can only add that I do not want to say that it is impossible to earn money in gambling. But I think it is possible only in such a section of gambling as poker. And then, only very good mathematicians will be successful in it, which the casino undoubtedly tracks down and tries to prohibit them from playing. Also, a poker player can earn money if he streams his poker games.

As for other types of gambling, attempts to turn them into a permanent source of income are stupid.

And most of the time that kind of thinking manage to let casino owners to earn more, if you divert your attention and start seeking for a money making venue and thinks that with luck and understanding you may able to take it from gambling, it's surely change your pace and taking that risk most of the time brings you a financial problem, though maybe there are some who can but we will not see more and more casino businesses to grow and more and more owners who taking the risk establishing a new one if the business is not doing well.

Gambling is not mandatory for everyone and after gambling, gambling companies never guarantee users that they will receive a certain amount of money from those gambling establishments on a weekly, monthly or regular basis. That means we cannot consider this gambling as a source of income or a full time job. Money has to be bet and if wrong money is lost that is the specialty of gambling so before gambling every gambler should be careful before gambling. When I first started gambling I had a higher losing rate than I deserved and I stopped there and started again. By doing this, at this point I can claim myself as a somewhat successful gambler because after many attempts I am able to control myself and gamble.

Isn't that way the world is going. To set up a business, you must make sure that your problem is everywhere and you provide the solution about the problem. That's what I think casino does, nobody uses anybody as there are an understanding between the two people and they are willing to play and they give it to them. That's what casino has been doing and beside, they do have warning to make people understand that what they are doing is a risky thing and they still went ahead to do it.

If you must gamble, do it moderately and if you must continue don't forget to take profits. That's the main part many people forget, you can't be gambling and be anticipating profits later, do it in any way you can to maximize your profits otherwise gambling isn't for you
