There are many different experiences when someone enters into gambling in the end, one of them is like what you said, at first they just try, are introduced by friends and many more. from that experience there will be different impacts too, some of them stop immediately at that time, some become addicted and others. The danger is those who become addicted, it will make them go too deep and they don't even know how to get out.
However, this often happens in the scope of gambling and when it all happens then it will come back to themselves.

I think that a very small percentage of players become addicted, I'm talking about real addiction, when a player is obsessed with winning and trying to find money anywhere to gamble. Often this addiction (if you can call it that) becomes harmless when a player plays several times a week for some pocket money, but he cannot refuse it. So it's just like looking for some kind of emotion in life when the routine is very tiring.

I'm not sure if there is a small percentage of gamblers that are addicted because others won't accept that they are addicted to it; we just haven't noticed it. Right now it is really rampant as they can't control themselves in doing gambling activities because of the fun, and again, let's say that they got lucky to win, but comparing what they lose, it is still more that they lose money. That is why having a habit is really helpful for all gamblers so that they can transfer their attention to it.

I found something quite interesting recently:

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling

A 2020 study of 32 countries found that the greater the amount of gambling activity in a given country, the more volatile that country's stock-market prices are.

I find this fascinating, the whole economy of a country is in a way dependent of the amount of gambling that the citizens of that country have.

It kinda makes sense though, as some people might see the stock market as a way of gambling as well, even though it is not.

I found out about gambling sites a very long time ago but they are all just accepting popular currencies to make a bet. Then, I found out about gambling sites with cryptocurrencies as options to bet here in the forum. I guess I am just going to use that as my first experience since I didn't really make a bet on fiat gambling sites before.
Dice was my first game, it's not too addictive in my own point of view, it's actually a boring type of game once you get used to it. Afterward, you will just leave it in Autobet and expect that either you win it or you are in the top 10 of the highest amount wagered rankings because they give rewards for that.
Before, there was a limited type of games, Dice, Plinko, with cryptocurrencies as means of betting but now even in slots they are being accepted in third party online gambling sites.

Before,there was no much games online,but now there are a lots of games to bet online,which will not even require you to go to a casino hall to place your bet.Most of those games are sucking blood,it will suck your money till you go bankrupt.The invention of these online games has done more harm than good to people who love gambling and placing bets online,however,there are people who are happy about these games because they know how to predict the outcome,and how to win.
The moment my friend showed me how to gamble online,I knew there was going to be a problem about savings,and ever since then,saving money has been a big problem to me and also other persons that love online games.

If we remember our first days playing gambling, maybe it will feel embarrassing or even painful because we get a lot of experience from our early days playing gambling. And it provides special memories for us that we can remember at this time to provide suggestions that might be useful for those new to gambling. And in the early days, we gambled, maybe we only knew dice, plinko, and a few others but that already made us feel happy playing gambling. And after leaving the gambling game at online crypto casinos for a while, we are back to see how things are progressing and apparently, crypto casinos have come a long way since we first joined.

And it turns out that in recent years, crypto casinos have progressed even more than they used to and each casino has added many gambling game providers. And that obviously gives pleasure to regular gamblers who often play gambling at online crypto casinos so that they keep coming almost every day to gamble in various gambling games. And I don't know what will happen to online crypto casinos in the next 5 years, especially with technology in the gambling business that is getting more advanced from time to time.

Blaming others and pointing fingers is just a way to avoid responsibility and the necessary changes that will need to take place if they accepted their mistakes, besides it is incredibly easy to do it compared with the alternative, and even if you were to point out this to most people they will still choose to blame others, as the alternative is to work for weeks and months trying to overcome their personal flaws, and when a great deal of people consider themselves to be perfect then there is no room at all for them to experiment any kind of personal growth.

Spot on.

Most people, specially these days, are looking for the quick fix for their problems, and to not take any responsibility of their actions. It's always somebody else's fault.

The problem with that is that we are getting a society that is increasingly getting worse in terms of human development.

Short attention span, no responsibility, no critical thinking, etc. Basically a society of old kids.

Yeah, I think people blaming others are just not ready to grow and accept their failures.

You can't control the world, or what others do. You can only control how you behave, how you react to the world, and how you act and do things moving forward.

Blaming others doesn't allow you to grow, it's a bad mentality to have.

Consider boundaries to be the solution. Adorable. The shackles that the weak employ to bind themselves are called boundaries. The fact that you depend on them is absurd. In the end, the universe doesnt care if you stay within your self-imposed "boundaries" or not. Keep that in mind. No amount of "rules" will be able to protect you from life's unpredictable randomness.

And blaming others, really? The earliest play in the book is that one. Get up! Its not like we're herd animals. Would we? However, feel free to assign responsibility if you so choose. One thing about which you are correct is that excess of any kind is bad. However, who is to say what constitutes excess anyway? What you consider to be "excessive eating" may be an amazing feast for someone else!

It's the same with alcohol, in both gambling and alcohol ads they usually repeat the same message, "Gamble Responsibly", or "Drink Responsibly", that's basically what people should apply to their vices.

If they continue with their addictive path without stopping, that might end up in a very bad situation.

Yes, it is like that, and I've also repeatedly said that we have to have boundaries in doing it, that will be very helpful. And also any boundaries that we put in place we have to abide by completely, don't let it just be a theory but in practice we don't do that, that's just a lie.
Although we may be introduced by others, we cannot blame others for everything we do excessively. Excessive things are actually not good in any case, just like eating excessively is not good, right? Moreover, what we are talking about here is something that is widely seen as negative.

Gambling will make a person addicted or addicted, if it is not played carefully it will be fatal for yourself. At least we have to be able to control gambling, because we don't know when we will experience victory or defeat.

Yes, casinos know this, and they design their machines to give you a lot of small wins with lots of sounds and lights, even if you just won a few cents.

Then the moment you lose, all the systems go down and it's quiet, completely the reverse.

Sound and light do play an important part in a casino. The more bright light and the winning sound gives a confidence jolt to the gambler and it encourages to place more bets. These are tricks that have been used for sometimes now. When you lose it is very different it as they keep the sound and graphics bear minimum. That basically means it's okay continue with your next bet. Have you noticed almost all online casinos have dark back and bright color graphics with an easy to understand layout. All are part of enhancing user experience and encouraging longer stay.

User engagement and user experience obviously play a great role in keeping a customer intact and don't let them look for alternative means for their gambling activities. When a platform and its games have great graphics, great sounds and tones, good-looking visuals, and easy-to-access menus and games, a gambler will simply stay engaged with the platform as long as they have money in their account and these things can also make someone addicted.

Sometimes, you might even get addicted to the winning sound or the visuals of a game that you won't feel good if you don't play that game for a single day, which is why casinos and every single online platform tend to create very user-friendly spaces for their customers and players.

Self-control is the key to being able to continue playing properly at gambling, but unfortunately for novice gamblers, it is not easy because a lack of experience will make novice gamblers feel fine to continue playing even though they have experienced many losses and they also don't set a fund limit which they will spend in gambling so that the money they use becomes uncontrollable and only stops when they have to work or other routine activities. The first experience when gambling will definitely be fun if you get a win and become curious when you lose so that you will return to playing until you get a win, because indeed being able to win at gambling is what all gamblers really want, so that will prevent them from stopping.

Quote from: Negotiation on August 20, 2023, 08:39:11 AM

Gambling is not the only source of money and it is very difficult to guarantee the exact amount of income as it involves luck. A source of cash is hard to come by its symptoms are virtually impossible to guess from the outside but gambling addiction can lead to serious mental problems. Gambling addiction has a very negative effect especially on marital and social life of people addicted to gambling, it can be seen that they become very excited by small gains and are motivated to gamble again, which poses a risk for them.

I am not a gambler, but from my understanding, the term 'source of income' does not align with the parameters of gambling. To consider something a productive source, a guaranteed input with a definitive outcome is required. For instance, as an employee, the input is both hard and smart work, and the output is a fixed or variable salary. The same principle applies to a business, where hard and smart work, along with capital, generate profit. In these examples, the sources have a definitive outcome of income. However, in gambling, the source is the deposit, but the probability of income is 50/50. Therefore, it cannot be considered a reliable source of income.

Thanks.

For me, life is already like a gamble. Agree that gambling does not tell us the exact earnings. But it will give immediate results when we play ''I call short-term investing''. And risk losing all that money. I call life a gamble because when we want to do something great, we also have to invest, and no one can predict that we will invest successfully. For example, if we invest in stocks, we can completely lose everything. Or lose half of its value.
High return is proportional to high risk. Low returns are proportionate to less risk. No one can predict what an investment will look like.

Just by winning for the first time doesn't mean that people got addicted to gambling. There are multiple reason behind someones addiction it can be peer pressure, it can be family abuse and many more. You can't blame a moment of win to be th root cause of addiction. I personally feel it all starts with chasing the loss and the hope of recovering everything that gets people hooked to gambling. In the end it gets converted into addiction.

We all have reasons why we gamble, mine will be different from yours. The experience was disappointing. I lost considerable amounts of money along this path, as a result to negligent advice from colleagues who were also wagering. We should be capable to fully comprehend our system objectives and techniques. Addiction develops gradually, and we discovered that the one thing that would always hold us back is ignorance. Gambling is not an activity or a source of money for us. Gambling should never be viewed as a source of revenue; rather, it should be viewed as a source of extra cash.

Yes, the entire casino atmosphere is not an accident, and also why casinos all around the world look the same basically.

They are all designed with the same ideas, basically to keep the gamblers there playing as much as possible.

With comfortable seats, table(seat) service with free snacks and drinks, no windows, no clocks, no idea of time passing by, usually open 24 hours, etc. And all the lights and sounds designed to attract and keep the people engaged.

And that's what makes gamblers in physical casinos feel comfortable playing gambling in physical casinos. They feel they are playing at home because of the service that satisfies them while gambling. And maybe this also makes other gamblers feel the same way, except for gamblers who have lost a lot of money. They definitely won't be able to feel it because they have experienced disappointment during gambling.

Quote from: pakhitheboss on August 20, 2023, 01:26:57 AM

I haven't been into a physical casino or an offshore casino, so I won't be able to suggest anything here. I did imagine the scenario and I would say it is hard to control yourself in such a situation. After all you are a man and not a saint, who is able to control his urges. This might be the typical reason why gamblers love gambling in a physical casino than an online one. With online casino you can have alcohol but you won't be able to have those ladies encouraging you to gamble Grin

That's what he means because when there are many temptations in front of us, even though we have tried to survive, they could all collapse because they are too hard to pass up. We will try it and think it's okay to try it once but it turns out that it's in the first moment that we find something so different that we want to taste it again and again. This makes people addicted to gambling because there is a different experience every time they visit the casino. And it will also be the same when they use online casinos to play gambling and the experience will also be different every day. And even though the experience of losing is the same, they don't feel anything and instead want to try again another day.

Gambling will make a person addicted or addicted, if it is not played carefully it will be fatal for yourself. At least we have to be able to control gambling, because we don't know when we will experience victory or defeat.

Changing the way of thinking in gambling is very important, gambling is actually not only about winning and losing because it is a natural thing, especially in that there is risk as well as fun, it is true that gambling must be careful and controlled because if we exceed the limit then we will get carried away too deep to become addicted to gambling and it will not be good in the end.

Why is it necessary to change the mindset, sometimes the mindset is important, for example, if we think that gambling is fun then we can overcome and control ourselves better, isn't gambling created to give pleasure to the players, let's say when we lose we pay someone to cheer us up this is the same as gambling where we seek entertainment by gambling, not prioritizing the big wins and money we get.

You want to discuss gambling as a pastime for those who enjoy having fun? Cute. Do not be naive, please. The house ALWAYS wins, and it's not about the little joys or seeking entertainment. It's about the rush of winning and making your presence known in the ring

You claim that it's vital to alter one's perspective. But let's face it, gaming is not meant to "cheer you up." A battleground is gambling. You are not in the arena to be praised; rather, you are there to conquer. The pure thrill of taking a chance and the adrenaline rush of acting are what it's all about

Avoid using the soft approach of "let's say when we lose, we pay someone to cheer us up." Seriously? Your therapist is not gambling, sorry. Going large is the only option in this brutal game. If the heat becomes too much for you, leave the casino
