Topic: Have you achieved anything from gambling - page 3. (Read 2222 times)

The answer for me is no, I have never actually achieved anything tangible from gambling except for paper cash which was never all that much. That is probably why I don't like gambling often but at the same time I also have this weird thing where I am a very lucky person so when I do have the chance to I am often surprised with the outcomes. I know that one day I am going to make a freaking killing on a random streak of luck off of some random chance at some random game probably haha. I wish you all the best of luck!

Trying to include an achievement to gambling is something that would not work for everybody. We don't have to see gambling as a job that we intend to achieve from. I don not input the idea of achieving something maybe a huge sum of amount to gambling. I have entirely changed my idea about gambling and it should not be something we do virtually everyday. One just have to be careful about what we do and how we intend to benefit from gambling. Gambling can be very rewarding to us especially to people that knows how to play there games well and not us trying too hard to make money from our random bets. We might not be lucky every time.

First off, isn't what they did with the money they won an achievement in this context? If they hadn't won that money from gambling, they'd have most likely used money from their own pockets or savings to do the things they did with the money. Most people use the money they win from gambling to buy stuff like clothes, gadget, get a dinner date and so on, all these are things that you needed but you forgo them because they're more important things on your scale of preference, but now that they have money outset of work, they can afford those things.

I've seen people achieve things from Gambling, I for one has gotten something I wanted with the money I won from gambling. Just recently, a friend of mine was able to pay for something and fast track his work with money he won from gambling, this is something that could have taken him months weeks if he relied only on his income.
I get that a lot of people believe they don't achieve anything from their gambling money, but it just how they look at it and how they spend their money.

But people should really realize that losing more is that something that they will really be able to experience even if we do say that it do only have two possible outcomes which is losing or winning but since we've been doing against the house or something that having those kind of edge then it would really be something that put us up into that disadvantage and this is something that we should really be realizing at first.

No one would really be messing up their lives if they are really just that mindful about on the risk that they've been dealign with. Come to think that gambling is really just that for the sake of fun and
not for making money. The only issue for most gamblers is that they do have that different approach towards gambling on which they shouldnt have done it in the first place.
Making yourself trying out to be a winner would really be just that making you desperate on which this is something that must be avoided in the first place.
You cant really just that make yourself to be a winner and this is why avoid it as much as possible on having this kind of impression or mindset.

I understand that all gamblers always want to win in their gambling activities but however it is a fact as you said that gambling is still gambling which is always about two things at the end of the session which is between winning or losing, anyone can never force himself to realize a real victory unless luck comes at the right time, and anyone can never refuse defeat because however defeat is a part of gambling that can never be separated, meaning it is clear that only luck can lead you to victory, While however and anyone can never know about when he will be able to be in a lucky situation to be able to win, which is the reason why gambling is really not recommended to be used as a place to earn because of the possible risk of loss that can come to you more often when you treat gambling in an excessive way because it has the aim of earning, and this is the reason why a gambler who tries to earn in gambling actually loses a large amount of money.

playing gambling will not be far from defeat or victory, the winning option is the hope of everyone who gambles, even though it does not always meet expectations. Luck doesn't always come every day, of course there is a certain time when luck will come. Indeed, not all members who play gambling lose, of course there is one person who wins big to attract other members

It's first time I'm hearing that with gambling someone could have critical thinking. Most of the times I have noticed that gambling is somehow altering our emotions of greed, and desire. However, it's always good to know something new.

We all agree that gambling is a fun experience and it should not be taken as a way to make thousands of dollars. However, it's also a fact that there are some gamblers who make enough money from gambling but I think their luck favors them in gambling while others luck may not favor them in gambling.

The worst stage of addiction is even worse than that, since at that point the addicted will understand very clearly they have no chances of beating the casinos or to recover the money they have lost so far, they also understand that if they keep following that path then nothing good will come out of it, and despite that knowledge they keep gambling, this is even more disturbing than those gamblers that do not understand what they are doing, as at least they got an excuse, but those that remain addicted knowing very well what expects them are most likely way beyond help.

Puzzle the brain. That's a great approach to gambling. Just out of curiosity, what game are you playing?

Because I don't see puzzles when it comes to casino games or slots, they are pure money-wasting games and you will have to find your luck at one of those games. I did, but it is so rare although I am thankful that slot games are covering my losses sometimes so I could wager again until I hit the amount that I like.

But it's nice to see that many gamblers now do think of gambling as mere entertainment and I think that should be the case for many because if we get too hooked on the games, we will just end up losing our money and it is stressful to be in that position. I've seen myself being in that position before and I can say it took me 2 nights before I swallowed the truth that my money is gone.

That's what we called addictions, uncontrolled emotion where you don't think about the possibilities but instead, you just wanted to keep playing and thinking that you may have that chance to win, I also don't understand that kind of decision making which you can stak everything and lose, like what you mentioned,

having that segregations of your needs and the finances that you have may help you not to let yourself risk your money, just the spare that already ready to spent for leisures, that's the good thing to do and if luck permits who knows when but that's something sweet.

The most important thing is always the decision to save money for food, pay bills and bus to work, if there is one. These are the most important expenses, and in no gambling game can you go beyond the limits after which the gambler will start spending money from the above categories.
No game is worth the gambler having nothing to eat afterwards.  Anyone who has ever been on the verge of complete poverty knows how strange it is.
And I don't understand people who are willing to risk their very last money for a chance to win something.

No matters what, we must avoiding big losses because we already knows that big losses was happens to gamblers who can't take care of themselves and not thinks about how much money they used to playing gambling. They must realizes that they have a wrong behavior that using gambling to makes money and achieve their target. We must playing gambling moderately and not just spends too much money or achieve something that we wants because in gambling, we will difficult to makes money or achieve that we wants. We can only playing gambling moderately without have a will to achieve something so we can avoids the big losses and just enjoy the gambling games. If we already lose, we must accept that's part of playing gambling and will not have to try to recover the lose.

Yes, you are right, apart from avoiding big losses, on the other hand, we also prevent excessive gambling and we will not experience addiction as a result of this wrong behavior.
Agree that by playing gambling moderately, we will feel safe and happy about all the gambling games that we have played without thinking too much about big losses, only if we experience a loss of money, that is bound to happen, but the loss is not excessive, that is what will make us happy. .

I fall inline with this part of unlucky, it's actually my experience, what I have spent can't be compare to my looses but the truth remains that I engage on it not just for gain but to puzzle my brain. It is a way of having some critical thinking and there is fun on it if really your heart is towards the fun.

but what about them? yeah that might be an achievement but do those winnings stays long? because there are many cases that even lottery winners return to poorness because of wrong spending of winning,

those are the lucky one or the responsible one and sometimes i do not consider them as gambler but a joy maker instead.

That means, those who just playing gambling have a chance to win huge money without they imagine because they playing gambling to fills their spare time. But that's not happens to many people because only a lucky person will gets that big luck so they can wins huge money from gambling. We must understand that playing gambling doesn't needs to have a goal because our reason playing gambling is just for have fun so we must avoids that goals to enjoy the gambling games.

Playing gambling is only to fills their spare time and it's better we don't thinks about wins or lose because we playing gambling is just use some money to limits the lose. We can hopes that we can wins the games because that will difficult for us to wins the games and we can only playing gambling moderation. If we can avoids using too big money, we will not lose much instead just lose the money we can afford to lose. We can playing gambling responsible and can knows that gambling is just part of entertainment.

If we can treating gambling in moderation, we will not have any problems that can occurs when we playing gambling or ends our gambling activity because we always remember that playing gambling can gives us lose and wins so we don't have to achieve anything from gambling. We will wants to avoids the problem that already faced by other gamblers because we knows that feels is uncomfortable so we really take care of ourselves when playing gambling. Most people thinks about the winning but they will difficult to gets wins from gambling so it's better they don't thinks about wins instead just trying to enjoy the gambling games.

All gamblers will be happy if they can wins, especially if that winning is big. That can makes them becomes greedy and will not stops their gambling activity instead will trying to wins more money. We don't have to trying that because we never knows when we can wins so we must always limits our money and time not to breaks our rules because that can impacts our finance. We will gets lose because playing gambling doesn't gives us a big chance. That's why we must always limits our money and time to prevents the lose not to becomes big but we can still enjoy playing gambling moderation.

Using enough money to playing gambling, we will avoids the big lose that can occurs to us. Besides that, we can avoids the big problems from gambling which is addiction because we can control over ourselves better. We will also avoids the big risks of losing money from gambling because we always use limitations when we playing gambling. We always remember that playing gambling moderation will helps us to enjoy the gambling games. We don't have to compare with other people because what we must thinks is ourselves and how we can take care of ourselves from playing gambling. So we must always playing gambling moderation to avoids the lose not to becomes bigger because we only use gambling in our spare time and not chasing the wins or else. We knows that we must treat gambling as a fun thing.

If we return to the topic of the conversation that the OP wrote, then I think that the vast majority of gambling players will answer that they have not achieved anything particularly remarkable in terms of any gigantic income from the game. 
And vice versa, mostly they still lost in the long run.  Also, the majority of players who treated the game as entertainment and simply as a pleasant pastime, and they also did not spend more money than they could afford, should thank God that God saved them from gambling addiction at the stage of illness.  And from the troubles that follow both for the player and for his loved ones in the case of gambling addiction. 

As for the money they won, I think that the majority of players, considering it easy money, simply spent it unnoticed and stupidly, simply in the course of ordinary household expenses.

You are absolutely right that playing gambling with just enough money is a very safe step in preventing huge losses and we will enjoy gambling without thinking about the big risks we will incur because we can control it well and correctly.
Yes, don't compare or match with other gamblers, you will gain profits in gambling because each gambler will have differences in terms of their luck in gambling, there are gamblers who often win and there are also many gamblers who often lose, therefore, we should play gambling according to our beliefs. in ourselves because it is much better and very safe.

Yes treating gambling in moderation is the best approach that can make us avoid various bad possibilities in the long run, because overall usually the bad impact is more potential to occur when someone treats gambling excessively whether in terms of time or budget at stake. What always triggers many problems that will lead a gambler to a downturn is as you said above "the inability to accept the fact of defeat" which is where most gamblers are typical people who only think about winning but are unable to accept the state of defeat.

The truth is that all gamblers will not refuse if they manage to get a win because after all winning is a very exhilarating situation, but what we must understand here is that gambling is not just about winning but there is another aspect that is always part of gambling activities, namely "the possibility of losing", we must remember this and this is the reason why a gambler should not overdo it, because by overdoing it you are likely to lose a lot of money slowly. And the other thing is that yes as you said that when someone has fallen into addiction then it is very difficult to cure it.

Most individuals that made huge profits from gambling didn't really expect they'll win, sometimes it's the risky games one feel might not come out good that would come correct, but the ones you're sure of and can beat your hand on the chest and say yes, this game must come through that would end up giving you heartbreak. That's why when I gamble I don't really expect to always win cause I'm aware that constant winning is not guaranteed

 Gambling is just like trying your luck or testing one's fate, it could either be good or bad but that why individuals ought to be very careful about it, gamble responsibly an what you can afford to lose cause reckless gambling could make one go bankrupt and we all know that gambling addiction is one thing that's very difficult to cure therefore everyone needs to gamble responsibly avoid gambling always.
