Money makes the mare go, I think a lot of money is pumped into the dissemination of those jackpots to attract people, than it is on the other side of letting people know the downside of gambling. Also the good aspects of gambling. Those things are not being discussed across all medias. But lots of social media still help in passing across the need for responsible gambling. However, it's unclear why the responsible gambling ads don't make it so effectively well in creating good impacts on a player. They get neglected. Lots of players don't think gambling should have limits or management.

They normalized taking loans to gamble already. Hence, those ad wouldn't cross their mind. If you go through responses on some gamble responsibly ads, it's full of jokes and unserious responses. As though it doesn't matter. Casinos mastered the art of playing with people's fantasies. Who would the people follow between someone who flashes money and another who advise them to limit how they follow the first mentioned. I think it could be like a joke to them, because the other one shows them wealth and seem promising to make them richer as well. Imagine an Ad on the type of jackpot you just mentioned, doesn't it look more attractive? More clicks would go towards such an ad.

On the time that you would really be having that delusional approach then this is something on where you would really be finding yourself having a problem with gambling on which this is something that you will really be finding up yourself on having such problems or conditions on which you would be finding yourself to be that having a regret because you have done something which you didnt expect for it to happen as a result of excessive approach towards it. When it comes on the time that we are really that still starting on doing gambling stuff then its not really that bad to gamble as long everything should really be in moderation.
Make yourself aware on whats the risks involved and make yourself that be sure on how to spend up your money wisely and something that you wont really be going overboard when it comes to dealing
up too much with it. Play for fun and not for the sake of money because this is where shit happens.

Aggressive has more disadvantages more than the advantages that is why i wont advised anyone to take an aggressive approach when gambling. The spirit of going all in when you have experience so much loss has left many gamblers stranded and made them take loans to pay back their debt.

Yes some gamblers get lucky when they go all in, but statistically speaking i have heard of people losing due to gambling aggressively that people winning during aggressive gambling. That is why one need to be more careful when they are gambling so that emotions wont get attached during the process if not they may choose to go all in.

I suggest beginners to adjust their money towards not losing a lot. In other words, apply limits to yourself is more than enough. The worst part of gambling addiction is to lose so much money that it damages your personal budget.

Many people do not want to realize that they will lose, even if it happens with a high probability. Many players want to see themselves as winners in a white limousine accompanied by a beautiful girl and a martini. Players tend to be optimists, because a pessimist should not even enter a casino, because he understands that nothing good awaits him there, although he also has a chance to win.

I want to say the most important thing in my opinion for beginners, do not think that you are the smartest and luckiest on our entire planet. Have more modesty and never lend money, but only play with what you have earned through your hard work.

Naturally, the gambling industry is inclined towards showcasing tales of grand victories as evidence of the immense prospects gambling holds. The narrative of an individual wagering a meager sum and walking away with millions is indeed intriguing, often embellished by casinos in their promotional tactics.

Yet, it seldom delves into the reality that a majority of gamblers end up on the losing side. Casinos do not always bring forth the statistics on losses or elucidate their gains from these unsuccessful wagers. This pivotal detail often evades mention or consideration within these glorified accounts of triumphs.

This contrast is quite interesting: considering that big win stories are usually promoted in a glamorous way, there is scanty information on how the casinos are reaping huge profits from numerous losing gamblers. Let me tell you an important truth about gambling: it is predominantly a game of luck, and in most cases people lose more than they win.

One start would be just showing the downsides of gambling and promoting that. We usually have a lot of casinos promoting a lot of their gamblers end up winning, like casinos are just charities and you just go there and win so much, they always promote the wins. But nobody really shows how much people lost

 One great example would be that some guy bet 50 dollars and won 42 million dollars just recently at a casino, that's really just as huge as it gets, never seen anything bigger, by far the biggest win I have ever seen, it was a jackpot. That was promoted everywhere, but nobody talks how that casino got the 42 million at all, they are not talking about anything at all, that's the most important difference in the end.

Aggressiveness may be a good thing when you are fighting your enemy on the battlefield, but it rarely helps in gambling. I'm saying "rarely" instead of "never" because in some extremely rare cases people do win because of their aggressive behaviour. It happens by chance, like those cases when people hit the Jackpot in a lottery, but it happens and it would be wrong to say that people always lose because of their aggressiveness. Most of the time, however, people lose and lose really big amounts when they start acting like that. Be cool and enjoy your gambling experience without going over the edge, that's what I would say to beginners if they want to stay out of gambling addiction.

I think newbies just need to be aware of the risk involved in it and a great thing that needs to be done is to experience gambling because I think that one can not be aware of the risk in it if you really don't know how it is and what is your experience with it, the misconception part is if those people that would likely teach and to make you understand the dangers of gambling is the one that wants to scam you in getting you aboard in it without explaining further the risk involve in it for me the ones that could help you is yourself alone.


If all are not stubborn enough to read between the lines then I think there will be no one who can become addicted to gambling but we can not play that perfect situation where no one could become addicted to it because there are just people who are very stubborn in believing the Risk and Danger of gambling to their life and hard earn money,

I really think that all we can do is just let them imagine the hard truth about it but gambling can become a great thing if you manage it properly.


Greatly managing your losses and winnings can also lead to great satisfaction with gambling you just need to accept the fact that gambling has a high risk and managing it can sometimes make you win it, just try not to chase those losses

The easy answer would be to not let them play at all. Persuade them that gambling is a game of mostly losing and by chasing the losses you can get addicted to it.
But, if they already started gambling and it is not an option anymore then it's better to just tell them the truth.
Explain the house edge, explain why they are losing more than winning, and give them better ideas to avoid it. Most of the time the losers came from casino games and slot games but if they choose sports betting, there's a high chance that they can win their game if it's analyzed deeper.

How can we help beginners by continuing to write or post about gambling addiction when not all gamblers join this forum, if they are you friends or those closest to you, will it be effective?
I think we can always remind or give advice to them directly if they are people around us, but if it is for everyone who is part of the forum then continuing to discuss gambling addiction can help.
Gambling addiction starts with the attitude and approach of each gambler themselves when gambling, if they can remember control, limits and also do not have wrong goals then the possibility of addiction can be minimized.
We will only be able to remind and direct, but the rest is that the gamblers themselves will be able to determine how and what they will do, their mindset will greatly influence the impact and consequences of gambling.

Nothing really, the only thing that you can do is guide them, that's the only way for this to happen, there's no way that you'd be a part of their journey like you dictate how they do things, that's so controlling of you to do and really pathetic if you ask me. Beginners will listen to tips not commands, let them play and do their own thing, sometimes it's better if they do it in some form of self-discovery rather than you spoon feeding them the things that they need to learn because most of the time, those things that they get from spoon feeding, they quickly forget it so the point is that you don't want to be too controlling and do as much guidance that you don't sound like you're a manipulator trying to create a clone of yourself.

Beginners need to also do their own research and understand what gambling is about, this is because it s not possible for anyone here to hold their hand and guide them through the many pitfalls they can fall when gambling, if they have some specific doubts after realizing their own research, that is when we can help them out, but if they make no effort at all to learn on their own, then they are bound to make mistakes that will make them to reconsider whether gambling is the right hobby for them.

We can help beginners not to get addicted to gambling It's a very bad effect on human life. The best approach is through education and support. We should explain the bad effects of gambling. We should encourage beginners to set strict limits on the time and money spent gambling and to walk away when losses mount or they stop enjoying themselves. Friends and family can check in and make sure gambling isn't becoming obsessive. Recommending other hobbies and activities can provide healthy alternatives and diversions. Advising new gamblers to avoid tempting environments like casinos and online betting until they've developed discipline and self-control.

There is no doubt about this, when we focus on doing things Better , we Basically have our way of thinking based on our experiences, a novice Player sometimes does not receive advice, because he always thinks that this will not happen to him, that he will not count on having bad luck, but on the contrary, having very good luck, then based on these things we can say that it is a mistake that they always make, sometimes a novice listens to advice, but does not pay attention to it, They always fall into the mistakes that one as a player He warns them, sometimes it is inevitable, because everyone has their own desires, and they know that by Getting more money they can get closer to Fulfilling them, sometimes that is what happens most of the time.

What you say is very true, it is not good if we continue to gamble. Indeed, it can provide winnings and can provide some kind of gift to the family, but the risks posed by gambling are extraordinary.
Sharing time with family, friends and so on is very effective in minimizing gambling addiction. and yes, we all know the importance of managing a budget when gambling. and the most I got was learning to only use less than 10% of the income we earn, or if possible less than that.

Of course what they have to do is look after their money, don't let them get trapped by their own thoughts and actions, spending 20 USD is more than enough, if we have friends who are new to gambling, we should be able to remind them to limit their gambling activities. them, don't let them gamble too excessively, such as risking all the money they have, such as exceeding what they can afford, as you said, because that action is not a recommended action, but what is recommended is to be able to maintain balance as best as possible.

but it cannot be denied that each person's desires are different and their thoughts are different, so even though we advise or advise them not to be careless, because they have their own thoughts and also have their own desires, there are those who don't care about it, they prioritize their ego because they really want to get dream of winning while they don't care about the small chance of winning rather than the bigger chance of losing.

There is no way we can help those who are just starting,the only thing to do is continue doing what we are doing,which is writing down or posting what gambling addiction is all about,and the effect it has had on us who are addicted already,if they have ears or eyes to see,then good for them,if they refuse to hear,and still want to try,then it is detrimental to them.I think it is even more good for them to try and get the experience of losing,so that they will see for real that gambling is not just best for them.Those who have become addicts like us can attest to that.

The first advice I give to a beginner is to take care of their money, to grab it and say, if you have 100usd, spend 20usd and not risk more, don't lose control and don't spend more than that, even then 20usd for me is enough , and that is something that you have to see, of course it is my way of seeing things, that is why I always say, the best thing when you go to play in a casino is to spend what you are willing to lose and with that you save a lot of money, Don't bet for the sake of betting or go crazy with betting, you have to do it in a controlled way, money is what you should try to save, and that is sometimes what players do the least, I always emphasize that, and I think it will never happen. I got advice like that when I started playing.

When you are still new specially on dealing up with gambling then as a newbie then you wont really be taking any advises or ideas that other people would really be saying but instead you would really be following on whats into your mind and you would really be doing it no matter what, until you would be finding yourself that getting messed up with your life just because you've been expecting something positive towards it which is really that very wrong. How to help beginners not to get addicted? There's no way because it would really be up to people or an individual on how he would really be treating up gambling in the first place. If he do find it up to be some sort of source of income rather than just for the sake of fun then he/she would definitely be playing no matter what. No matter how many advises he would be able to hear of as long that idea is really that intact into his mind then he/she would really be definitely be doing it no matter what and this is something not really that shocking anymore. This is why it would really be best that you dont really make yourself that delusional towards
gambling so that you would be able to mess up your life with it.
