That's because they wants to achieves something such as wins much money from the games that they usually play. They still loses their money on that game so they will wants to wins the game and they will uses more money to wins. But that doesn't guarantee them to wins the game as gambling is not a place to makes money from the winning. That's why they will still difficult to achieves something from gambling, especially if they wants to achieve to earn money from gambling and they should forget it and just enjoy playing gambling as other people.

They will only gets deeper in gambling if they still decides to achieve something from gambling. They will not thinks clear about what they do and still playing gambling without stops and that can makes them gets deeper in gambling and in the end, they will gets addicted to gambling.

In general, it is believed that a big win in gambling is considered to be so-called “easy money”. 
People think that this money came too easily to the player, he just got lucky and suddenly became rich.  Often this is not true and the player took a long time to achieve a big win and lost a lot of money along the way.  But in any case, it is believed that “easy money” never brings happiness and real stable and guaranteed wealth.  There are, of course, exceptions to this rule, but still, the majority of players who win big money very quickly spend it on all sorts of nonsense simply because they also consider it “easy money” and spend it thoughtlessly and on whatever.

I have learned that if I play today and lose, well it is something I have to get over, and if I play tomorrow or another day, then that thought that I lost in my previous game is not in my mind, because I feel that if I bring that eventuality to my mind it will make me stop my way of playing because I will feel some fear or dread of losing, then to finally get rid of that feeling, I have my money ready to lose, that is, if I play with 10usd, then I don't care if I lose that money, if I lose it, then I accept it, but I play with everything I have without slowing down my economies, if I win, well better, because I make my withdrawal immediately.

I wonder why people come out to say they haven't achieved anything from gambling,and they still go on to play games.How can you know that something is not good for you,and you still go on to continue that stuff,is that not foolishness?.So many people are aware that gambling will only wreck their life's rather than add something  reasonable to it.But I can still say that gambling needs understanding because most people who are winning on a daily still put head together and are able to get the ones that would not dissappoint them,and fear giving it out, because there is no sure game anywhere.

That is why it is good to stake what you can afford to let go cause you are not the one controlling the game you played. that's why it is good to take thought about this before betting any game though loss and profit is Paramount in gambling but one shouldn't allow his/her loss to exceed there profit cause when one's loss exceed, it becomes a total loss reason because the profit is not even close to the loss one is making and one thing about gambling is changing strategy, if a particular pattern is not favoring you then you should change that pattern however, I have achieved a little from gamble.

Interesting approach.

I have changed my approach and have learned 2 things in order to make that change.
I have learned to not get too serious about gambling, I dont gamble as much because
of my second lesson learned, and thats patience. I have learned patience through Bitcoin
and from gambling.

I like to take my time and only gamble when I have done some research on a particular
game or match, I dont feel the need to make a bet on every game or match, there will
always be opportunities to make a bet, I just become puckier and take my time.

Your experience in gambling is very similar to mine when I was very active in gambling. I was always gambling week in week out trying to win plenty money in gambling but will not be able to get my desired winnings at the end of the day. What's even more painful about the whole thing is that the bets that looks like it'll favour you will agonizingly cut because of one game but it still didn't stop me from gambling rather I changed my style of gambling.
In my new style of gambling, I only gamble ones in a very long time and I do that with any money on me that I don't want to use for anything serious. In my new style of betting, I lose some games but also win others but if I should evaluate my winnings and losses, I think I've gotten more winnings than losses since I changed my style of gambling.

Yes, you are absolutely right. In fact, the Reason I thought like that when I was a newbie was because I was looking for so many strategies to be able to win, because I told myself that if I changed the strategy every moment the casino wouldn't know what I was Going to use and if I played more Randomly then the patterns I had saved wouldn't give me any results and then maybe I would have some advantage over the casino , but really , all those Thoughts were what I had at that time. I wish I had had the maturity that I have now at that time. I think I wouldn't have Spent so much money at the casino or on the Games that I always frequented.

Even if it is true that society labels really quickly people from behaviors that are not fully approved by it, at the same time, if a person is gambling constantly to the detriment of his family and his other goals, then it is clear that person is addicted to gambling, regardless of whether they admit it or not, and since most of those gamblers live in denial about their condition, it is not surprising society labels other people that may be otherwise sporadic gamblers as addicted as well, since they deny the accusations this is the case as well.

This question is coming too quick,but the answer is No.For me,I haven't achieved anything too significant form Gambling, because I haven't seen what I have used gambling money for,all I see everyday is debit form my account in gambling,instead of me to win from gambling,they are the ones winning from me. If it is when the premier league is on,I gamble every weekend,stake on so many games and at the end of the day,my game will end up cutting,I will end up losing,I will end up being the one to be in pain, because it will worry you when you stake with a huge amount,and lose.

Yes, that may be true, but what I understand is the opposite, where more of them see and consider gambling as a place to earn income rather than just a hobby, although I don't have statistical proof but I think they always return to gambling, especially when they treat gambling in the wrong way and experience emotions when they lose so I think from that alone we can confirm that they come with the intention of making a profit because of the disappointment response when losing money. In short, I cannot say that the number of gamblers who take gambling as a hobby is more than the gamblers who come with the intention of earning money, there is no real evidence about that, and one of the reasons why I say that there are fewer gamblers who take gambling as a hobby is because Lately, I have seen a lot of news circulating, especially in my country, where the population is increasing in population who are involved in gambling impulsively and almost all of them have the same impact.

Another thing regarding the stigma or bad perspective that some people have about gambling, yes, I agree with you is that this stigma is caused by the behavior of gamblers who are addicted, where they experience many setbacks in their lives due to treating gambling in the wrong way, and I am sure that his actions were based on a wrong understanding of gambling, such as assuming or thinking that gambling is a place to make money.

What's more, gambling can attract us without realizing that we have been doing it for quite a long time, especially if the gambling we do provides a good game, of course it can make us lulled into not being able to leave the gambling we do. and it's true that it comes back to our own mindset, if we control ourselves well, including our thoughts, then it's likely that we will make wise decisions, namely by not overdoing it. Apart from that, when gambling makes us lose track of time, that's where clear thinking is important so that we don't fall deeper into gambling.

What you say is correct, the impact of gambling is certainly not easy to avoid or even eliminate because once an addiction occurs, the bad impact will definitely occur and there is only a small chance of being able to eliminate the bad impact if you really have a strong awareness, but many people or gamblers when they are already addicted to gambling, they cannot avoid the bad effects, even the next actions they take tend to be actions that still carry big risks which can still make the bad effects come back even bigger. and I think only a few people or gamblers can achieve what they want by gambling, especially not with greed that will make them lose self-control.

Society really tends to label gamblers without hesitation, although I suspect that a huge percentage of gambling is occupied by those who play really rarely, not systematically. I witnessed discussions even here on the forum, when one of the guys wrote that he was constantly addicted to betting, and they started writing to him that he was most likely addicted. Of course it bothered him, but I don't think he has a problem with the game.
About me: sometimes I play blackjack, poker, slots, roulette... but the funny thing is that if someone sees me at this moment, then this person will think that I am a ludomaniac who is about to lose everything.
People have very strong stereotypes, and often society tends to simplify everything without really understanding the essence of things.

Your idea is a good one. That is why some gamblers that you tagged as responsible gamblers make financial decisions and don’t normally depend on gambling. But if you will look deep, all gamblers are tagged irresponsible in society. But one fact is that gambling can never take care of all your financial needs and give you financial freedom. But sometimes, when we don’t define people as we see them, those gamblers that you tagged as irresponsible gamblers that are addicted to one or the other bad things are in such situations due to some factors. Some even end up in this case because of gambling or depression, so you can never differentiate between them. For me, gamblers are gamblers because anyone who gambles and wins big will definitely use that money to do something bad, even if he is not addicted to it.

We control the money, we have full control, because for example, as I have said many times, let's suppose that we go to a casino and we have 1000usd in our wallet, it would be crazy to risk the 1000usd, the safest thing is to have for example about 100usd that we are going to spend and that we are sure that if we lose that amount it will not affect us in any way, if so we can risk it, if not, then we have to risk an amount less than 100usd, in the case that we already have that amount ready and we play, then if we lose what we should do is assume the loss, not think about playing with more money, but assume, in the case that we win, let's suppose that we win 30usd more , I recommend withdrawing, and the good thing is that with that money that we are willing to lose we can get our emotions out and so we will be happy, encouraged, with the adrenaline at its peak.

Quite true bud, there is this particular saying in my place that "when one finger touches oil, the rest of other remaining four fingers also gets stained with oil as well" this is exactly the same case as to when some addicted gamblers makes silly mistakes that gets everyone talking, and this makes everyone in the society believe that gamblers are all the same, that everyone who gambles are all addicted.

It is unfortunate really, because several innocent gamblers gets stigmatized because of how some reckless gamblers go about with their gambling activities.
But then on the other hand, I think this is one of the issues online casinos have solved, now with online casinos, one can safely gamble without anyone knowing, like I have been gambling for years now and my wife doesn't know that I gamble, it can only be possible with online casinos.

Those who gamble responsibly usually succeed in achieving something we didn't expect, for example in terms of controlling themselves in gambling and not getting carried away by their emotions, let's say not becoming addicted to gambling is the goal they achieve, in contrast to irresponsible people, they don't. find the true goal when gambling, we often see gamblers who chase their losses until they become addicted. They have reasons to recover their losses and continue gambling, but when they win gambling they don't want to stop and they will continue to play again hoping to win bigger. .

Human behavior is usually inseparable from greed, that's why many people are addicted to gambling because of their greedy behavior, not because they want to recover their losses, instead they fulfill the desires of their greedy behavior. There are many facts that I see around me. The point is that as a gambler, you must be able to control yourself by It's true that you don't need to have any intention of achieving anything, let alone getting a lot of money from gambling, just not being addicted to gambling is more than enough as a good achievement.

Society mistakenly believes that all gambling players are gambling addicts.
In fact, among them, only a small percentage of players constantly think about gambling or betting, the rest quite normally perceive casinos or betting as an ordinary hobby. It's just that the cases of gambling addicts cause very heated discussions, and then everyone starts to think that all those who play in casinos have problems with self-control. But this is not the case.
The main thing is to always remember how dangerous this hobby is, and constantly listen to your inner voice. And have full control over your money management.

That's correct. The key here is asking yourself that question. Why gamble if you are losing more? Is it time to stop to at least save some money and use it for something else instead?

I think the only answer to this type of question depends on us. There are gamblers who make money out of gambling and I think they won't stop because they see an opportunity where they can enjoy their hobby and at the same time use it as a means to gain money that would provide for their necessities.
So I don't think the question about achievements can be answered correctly because there might be a high percentage of gamblers who are losing but there are also winners especially in the sports betting department.

What your colleague told you has been bothering him for long and he don't know the right person to share this with until you talked about it. It is true, that most person do not use the money they win from gambling to do something used to. And if you look at i statistically you found out that most gamblers are either drunker, smokers, and womanizers. This is why they get addicted to gambling since the money they have is not enough for them to take care of other responsible expenses and still carry out all these lavish lies. Now in society they have tagged people that are into gambling as a bad activity and irresponsible people not knowing that there are responsible people that still gamble.

To answer your question, only responsible gamblers can ever achieve something through gambling, the irresponsible ones surely have one thing or the other that they are fully addicted to which add to the reason why they gamble.
