Topic: Have you achieved anything from gambling - page 13. (Read 6759 times)

Talking about satisfaction in the name of gambling, I doubt that anyone has the impression of being very satisfied with what he gets from gambling, I mean in general. no matter what game we play. but we can separate them, for example I like football and win bets on it. I am very satisfied watching a fight and a match that presents a beautiful match. Well, this could be a definition for the satisfaction of being associated with betting. However, in terms of the satisfaction of winning, in general, it is difficult for me to interpret or even define it. The reason is, humans have a natural characteristic of dissatisfaction. especially, if we relate it to money. In gambling, it is very difficult to achieve satisfaction. but we can interpret it in other words, the satisfaction of playing an exciting game. but not for winning, because this is temporary. Sometimes, without us realizing it, our standards for achieving victory in gambling increase to exceed new records.

The problem is different if someone wins the jackpot from the lottery, especially if the money is obtained at a very fantastic nominal value. Maybe someone can be satisfied with their winnings from the lottery, because the nominal value is truly extraordinary. That's why, of all the people, only one of them is the luckiest to get the jackpot. Well, regarding the effects of addiction, that's actually another problem. The point is, if someone is aiming for victory, that is always the target. or, want to get rich in one night, then the impact is very vulnerable to affecting psychology and addiction.

Yeah, even those who are addicted to gambling will never think about harming their family members only to satisfy their gambling addiction.

They might sell stuff that's needed for their family members or take loans in hope to make money in gambling but doing something wrong is out of question for the ones who aren't criminals by nature.

Gambling addiction is never promoted on this forum or anywhere else, most of us advice gamblers to learn gambling responsibility and also never consider gambling as a source of income.

The lucky ones can earn some good income from gambling but not everyone. In fact 95% or more of players make nothing in gambling and out of those most will lose instead of winning.

It's a game of luck and if someone's luck is good then he/she will win in gambling but if someone's luck isn't good then such person can't win but lose again and again.

I guess majority of us here are unable to hit a jackpot. There might be some but they're really few to be known for. As for getting rich with gambling, it's like hitting the lottery which is the same to the description that I've said and outside the forum, we're hearing and reading stories about these people that became rich with gambling. But they all share the same thing in common, and that's how they're spendthrifty. They don't know how to manage the vast amount of money that they've won from gambling. And from there, that's why we believe that money that comes from hardwork becomes kept and able to grow more.

Not all of the suddenly became rich from gambling becomes that, just as the typical, there could be a few of them that manages to grow it even more because they've got a different mindset and not a waster and spender. I can say that I have achieved things through gambling but not in financial aspect but in growing my mind and it helped me cope on how to be more patient. I guess we all have our own descriptions of what success really means and that's how I think is for mine.

Most times in gambling because of the presence of house edge, gambler's experiences more loses than the winning, so is hard for anyone to make something tangible from gambling at some point, but if you are lucky to hit a jackpot, by then you have some funds to achieve something great with and quite gambling at once to avoid putting all the money back into gambling at the end because of greed.


You are very right to say as a gambler when you set out to gamble you must know that gambling is all about either win vs lose and whichever way you have to accept the outcome.

Gambling is game of luck and personal interest, and participating in gambling two things is directly involved on it, it's neither you loss or you profit in gambling, so whoever that is involved himself into gambling might profit in gambling or eat neither lose because gambling is not assurance something or a skinful stuff that you will apply a direct wisdom and the merit it, so I believe that gambling house to do with opportunity and you can achieve in gambling when luck is on your side and it doesn't necessarily mean that as a new gambler you most achieve in gambling.

I think you are right that not everyone will behave in such a heinous manner, I feel that those who do that are basically used to doing that, or their friendship environment also does that which causes them to also dare to do the same.

Gambling does not teach as far as I have been in gambling until this moment, and there is no guarantee that people who are addicted to gambling do it also to their families to get money, unless their background is indeed a thug who is used to bullying people, so they do not hesitate to commit criminal acts to get money.

I affirm your sentence that indeed gambling does not do that to people, maybe there are one or two people who become like that, but I think it goes back to their character, because there are also many addicts who do not do that even though they have lost a lot of property in their lives, that claim is too much to respond to the impact of gambling, I think it emphasizes the opaque articulation of gambling.

There's no such thing about satisfaction on which we know that gamblers would really be definitely having that main concern or priority when it comes on making money or simply being a winner on dealing up with gambling.We do know that gamblers will really be that definitely having impressions that winning in gambling is easy not until on the moment or time that they will really be losing up money, and this is where they do make out those realization.

Achieving something from gambling? Being able to hit jackpot or simply getting rich? You would really be finding yourself having some issues or huge problems on the moment that gambling effect could hit you specially with gambling addiction on which we know that this is something which is really that dangerous.

I think you've made wrong perception about gambling and trust me that isn't true at all. A gambler won't commit any crime or do kidnapping but someone who's highly addicted to gambling can do such level of things and we at this forum always suggest everyone to be safe from gambling addiction by learning about gambling responsibility.

By the way, crime isn't done because of gambling but because of someone's nature. Even psychology proves that criminals are born either genetically by birth or get in crime due to their childhood environment. If a criminal becomes a gambler then he/she can do such crimes while not everyone is going to do something like that.

Concerning that you colleague that haven't achieved anything from the money he won in gambling, that's a personal decision, he is the one that failed to do the right thing and be discipline enough to use the money rightly, because I knew of someone that won a huge amount of money in football betting, and to be frank, if you look at that guy today, you wouldn't know him again if you knew him before, because he was very wretched and unkept, but the money he won change his condition and his financial status entirely, because he used them wisely, by investing into an ice blocks business, which is currently making a very good amount of money for him, so it all depends on the individual.

But on my own part, I have got a few winnings in the past, though it wasn't that big, but what I did with the money was very much ok for me, because I used it to acquire a deep freezer that my business was seriously lacking, so I believe that utilizing the money well all boils down to the person involves.

But there will be only few people who will satisfy with their winning. Many people not satisfy with something that they gets from gambling and makes them still keeps playing gambling because they wants more winning. But they can't gets more winning in gambling because gambling is not easy to wins and they can risks more money they have. It's better they realizes that gambling is not for achieving anything and only use for have fun so they will not risks more money by playing gambling.

The indicator that we will have to satisfy is when we can wins the games, we can quit gambling immediately and not trying to chase more winning. That will better for us because we can save the winning and if we are lucky, we can withdraw that money and enjoy with our relatives. But if not, we can keeps it in our account and use it for the other days so we don't have to deposit more money and we can save our allocation money for gambling to other things.

Long ago,well not that long just 1.5 years before I got a max win of 9984x (max was 10000x but for me it was as a max win as first time I hit it) and soon after that in a game with x40000 multiplier I happen to hit a x11339 multiplier which is also the highest so far I have hit.I doubt this record will improve as lately both slot providers and the casinos are changing way to many things in the final outcome of the RTP.This means that once I had achieved something from gambling,those huge multipliers while for the moment everything is black for me.

Whether or not you 'achieve something' is completely based off of what you gamble for in the first place. I for example, gamble only for fun. And if I have fun, then I have achieved my goal. Any profits are just a bonus. That reason motivates me to gamble with small amounts instead of large amounts of money.

People who gamble to get rich quick will not only not achieve their goal but lose all their money in the process.

So as I said, it all depends on your mindset.

At the end of the day the main indicator that someone is winning is basically the amount of money they have.

If they pay more than what they get paid from the casino, then they are not doing it that great.

If someone walks off a casino with more money than what they went it, that's a win.

And if someone in their entire life has spent less than what the casino has given to them, then that's the real winner, which are very few in the world.

If i could understand your point clearly, what you said is that a casino would always figure out a way to take back your winnings because you keep gambling? Have you realized that sometimes, you gotta lose for them to make profits too?

I think I can relate to what you said; A notorious gambler strolled in once and wagered correct scores - amongst them was a 5-0, 6-0 score for the opposing teams and, surprisingly, he won!...98k was enough for him to cashout and leave with that, but he started bragging to everyone around - that he's got a special power or, say an ability to make accurate predictions...
 The whole turmoil and jubilation didn't last for long as he lost everything back to the casino by constantly reassuring the people around that each time, that was going to be a win... "I kept laughing from behind the counter as he left in shame"

We can define gambling achievement using many indications which are going to be what we are going to consider before concluding whether gambling is profitable or not, we have to first see the way gambling is to us, how are we gambling and what type of a gambler are we, if what we are running after with gambling is achievable, then we may say that we are making it through with gambling and it's profitable to us because it meet our need, satisfaction and desire.

If you are really just that aiming for the sake of fun then you won't really be that mindful too much about making savings since you have already allocate a certain amount of fund on which it really that intended for the sake of fun then you would really be just that making yourself be accepting on the things that you would be able to experience or encounter.

Achieving something on gambling will really be just that making you desperate on which on time that you do aim on being a winner then it would really be pushing you into your limit beyond that on which we know that disasters usually happen after such conditions.

But how to make sure that people who are addicted to gambling still put in the first place precisely this attitude towards their game as entertainment.  And only in second place would they put such a potential opportunity to make money or even get very rich.  Apparently this is almost impossible to do and the desire to earn money still prevails among most players.  But as he gains experience, the player’s position may well change.  Apparently, it is true that only experienced players who have been gambling for many years can calmly move into such a blissful state of their psyche, when it doesn’t matter to them how much you won or lost, and the main thing is that you just played and it was an exciting journey into the world of entertainment  .  And you did not spend this time in vain, but for the benefit of your good mood and received a charge of positive emotions.

That's clear, in the sense that as we can see, the majority of gamblers always use gambling as a place to earn money, or as a place to change their fate, but however, of course that is a wrong mindset, because at any time their dreams will be nothing more than hopes. and shadows, because gambling is not a place to change fate. And if indeed gambling could be used as a place to make money, then of course there would be many gamblers who would make a lot of money and become rich, but in fact what happens is just the opposite, where most gamblers, especially those who are addicted, end up losing much more of their personal money than they earn.

In fact, gambling can be the opening door for various bad disasters to occur, apart from making someone a beggar, this activity can also change a person's character and personality, simply put, those who have a good and responsible personality can turn into a criminal as you said. Therefore, I think there is nothing better than just making gambling a hobby or whatever, which is the point as long as money or winning is not your main goal.

True, not all gamblers fall victim to their own greed, as there are many gamblers who are still able to control their emotions and greed. Moreover, when it comes to the last bet made after a winning streak, it is likely that they will not bet all their money. Because of their previous winning  streak,  they will most likely bet casually with only the money they are ready to lose. If they realize something is not good at that moment, then it is also very likely that they will stop betting and will return at a later time or maybe use another gambling platform.

But about the experience of achieving something from gambling, that in the past when I was unemployed because my contract had expired at the place where I worked. At least I have experienced that I only cover my living expenses from gambling and not only that, because I can also buy a new smartphone as a result of gambling. Indeed, if we calculate in detail then our losses will be more than our wins,but if we have the intention because we have a need,then it is still possible for us to achieve something good from gambling.

Save too after playing because alot of gamblers do not save and this make them to not be able ot have left over money that they can use to do something achievable. After winning you save not after losing because when you save after winning you have more money to choose from but if you save after losing, you will have less money to save from and it will make your decision to be that you will save tomorrow but it will never happen. People make the mistake to keep gambling every time with their money and their profit too without saving any. Gambling can get out of hand without you knowing therefore you have to be careful when gambling so you do not get carried away and turn into a gambling addict that has no achievement.
