It's true, gambling addicts only think about their ego so they continue to gamble and don't think positively about their life in the future.

It has been proven that there are many cases where people borrow money just to gamble, and this case includes the temptation to gamble, if the person is tempted then he will immediately borrow just to be able to gamble again, but if the person has a strong mentality and a good mindset then he will not will be tempted by that, in fact he will just stop and go home, because he knows that if he gambles again then he could lose and then he will be confused about how to pay the loan back.

Agree that we should gamble just for fun and fill our free time by gambling and only placing bets in small amounts, if we win then we are lucky but if we lose we will not feel deep regret because we lost a small amount of money.

If you have a kind of mindset that you treat gambling as part of your entertainment you can also treat the amount that you lose inside as payment for your enjoyment, it will not push you to barrow money and have that problem after suffering from another defeats, though there are different kind of treatment while a person is involved in gambling, and most of the time those who wanted to have that quick and easy access to earn money are the one that have big potential to get into addiction and suffer along the way with financial difficulties.

Yes, you are right that it is bad behavior because lending or financing money for gambling will not guarantee that your money will double, therefore never try to finance or lend a friend even if he is a professional or expert in gambling analysis in sports betting. or other gambling, always remember that gambling always relies on luck without that it won't be easy to win at gambling so don't ever try to do something like that.

As much as possible, avoid gambling when playing with friends because it will be calmer to gamble alone than to gamble with friends because maybe something like that could happen when he loses and then he comes to borrow money or asks you to finance his bets, avoid that and in fact with Giving debt will only damage friendships because in the end it will not have a good impact either.

Of course because gambling addict always prioritizes any way to continue gambling rather than thinking about the risks and impacts for the future.
If they can control themselves and think positively for the long term then they will not become gambling addicts.

The case of borrowing money for gambling is something that is often done and happens everywhere.
Moreover, in land-based casinos there are always people who offer loans to gamblers to be able to continue their gambling sessions because lending money can produce huge profits because of the fairly high interest.

But for those who are chasing victory or looking for profits they usually cannot accept if they only bet small amounts because the profits they get when they win are only small.
But for those of us who gamble just for fun and fill our free time we can use smaller amounts of money.
Moreover gambling with nominal amount that can be accepted when lost is wise attitude.

If many people could be like you, perhaps the number of people who are addicted to gambling or people who enjoy gambling would not increase. But because people really want to win, they try to have money to bet. And that could be the start of problems for them because if they borrow from other people, they might encounter difficulties when they want to return the money. You should not feel disappointed if you don't have money to bet because your path to betting is still very long. And if today you don't have money to gamble, you shouldn't force yourself to keep betting otherwise, you will experience a lot of losses.

Yes. In contrast to people who are addicted to gambling, they do not realize that if they borrow money just to gamble then they will have new problems later in life. If we have good control then this will not be a problem because we can control ourselves well.
That's right, it's better for us to just play with the money we have, even if it's only a little, and that way we won't be too burdened if defeat befalls us, because we only lose the money we have and not the loan. from other people and besides that we don't need to think about how to return it, so we will play more comfortably and regularly without any burden on our minds.

I will not feel anything at all for me it only counts when I bet on it, there's no use crying over spilled milk it's not for you if you keep feeling disappointed it will just ruin your motivation, I have seen people who are betting their favorite number in a lottery for years almost daily but one time they did not bet on it, it just comes out, now that's really disappointing but that's life in gambling if it's not for you, it's not for you.
You have to understand there are so many weird things that happen and can happen in gambling and these are just one of these.

taking out a loan or borrowing money to gamble is indeed a very risky decision and can have detrimental long term impacts on personal finances and social relationships. Playing with borrowed money can result in great financial stress, which in turn can affect overall financial stability and will cause stress.

It is important to avoid getting caught in risky borrowing pattern and prioritize financial stability. By understanding that gambling does not guarantee certain results and can result in losses, we should be able to avoid gambling with borrowed money.
We must be able to develop responsible financial habits and maintaining a balanced between entertainment and financial responsibility can help prevent getting trapped in self defeating gambling pattern.

Borrowing or taking out a loan for the sole purpose of gambling is absolutely the stupidest decision any gambler could make, no matter how sure the game seems to be. I have personally learnt my lesson the hard way that there is nothing like too sure games in gambling.

Here in my area, there is this type of local lotto we call Baba ijebu, I personally have played this lotto game a couple of times, but have never won, I have also heard stories of some gambler who went as far as borrowing huge amounts of money to stake on what is called too sure games in this lotto, the game is called "too sure" because the analyzers are 100 percent certain that the selected numbers would play, so some people borrow huge amount of money to stake on those numbers,  but at the end of the day, the analyzers were wrong and the selected numbers did not play, and the borrowed money is all lost, putting such gambler under a big financial stress and burden, which may end up affecting his job or business, but also his family.

So, nobody should ever borrow to gamble, it's a very bad harbit and highly risky.

Good for you if you still have that control, not many or I can say that most of those gamblers are unaware with ongoing addictions inside, like what you mentioned if you are already in the point borrowing just to continue playing the chance that your engagement is a sign of having the addiction, it's better to play with spare money and spare time and not to keep pushing and forget about your obligation especially to go far and barrow or loan something that you are unsure that you can still repay.

Of course, this behavior can be detrimental to oneself and of course the family will also feel the impact of this risk. This means that borrowing money to gamble will only cause problems in the family and worsen daily life, because the image that is always in our minds is that we are obliged to return the money. If we win, of course it's easy to return it, but if we lose, our lives will be even more ruined. Too many debts here and there and can't pay the money back.
Yes, that's right, controlling your finances also includes preventing you from borrowing money from other people and if you can do that then you are someone who can control gambling because you know the limits of money you have to risk in gambling and this can minimize becoming an addict.

In the long run, skill plays a significant role in the game of poker. Understanding game strategy, reading opponents, and managing risk wisely can provide important competitive advantages. While the element of luck still exists, skilled players can often optimize their chances of winning consistently.

By strengthening your understanding of strategy and game patterns, you can improve your ability to face complex challenges in the game of poker.

Although big wins in poker can be frustrating to ignore, having a realistic approach to financial management is essential. Especially in gambling, income fluctuations can be volatile and difficult to predict, even for skilled players. Relying on poker as your main source of income without considering the risks involved can be a tough challenge for you and by avoiding dependence on income from poker, you can maintain your financial stability and minimize the risk of losses you will experience.

This behavior must be avoided by gamblers. Apart from having a bad impact, it is also detrimental to themselves and their families. Borrowing large amounts of money to gamble often leads to uncontrolled debt growth and an increasingly difficult financial situation. Promises to return money with uncertain winnings only increase the financial risk for all parties involved, we must understand the risks associated with borrowing money to gamble and avoid a continuous cycle of debt.
Controlling financial including avoiding loans for gambling, and setting clear limits on spending, can help prevent debt situations from occurring.

If they could choose not to spend too much time playing slots, they would not lose more money because the chance of losing is 50 percent and winning is 50 percent. But if they continue playing even though they have already lost before, their chances of losing can rise higher while their chances of winning will decrease as their luck goes away. They should remember that no one can win more often in gambling, especially if they don't get lucky.

Gambling without any desire other than just to get entertainment will allow them to enjoy their time relaxing. And under conditions like that, luck can usually come to them because they don't have the desire to chase victory. And after they win, they must be able to think about ending the gambling game because they have won. That will only happen to wise gamblers who have gained more experience in gambling and know what they should do.

Many have proven that they are in debt here and there just because they want to gamble again, and they do not hesitate to borrow large amounts accompanied by a promise that, if they win at gambling, they will immediately return the money and will be given a percentage. or bonus money for giving him a loan, and this is absolutely not true.

Agree, it would be better to gamble using our own money and to the best of our ability in placing bets, this can prevent and reduce large losses, because if you are addicted to gambling then your financial condition will get worse and problems will come repeatedly. because mistakes in borrowing money to gamble will make our lives worse.

This is not always true. In poker, especially in the long run, skill plays much bigger part than luck. Some people say that the same is for sports betting, but I'm not sure about that. Although it's not 100% about luck in sports betting, that's for sure.


I totally agree with you here. Even good poker players try to not see their winnings as a primary source of income. Although it's sometimes hard when it's millions.

A wise approach to gambling is to manage expectations and accept that luck is a key factor in the outcome of the game.
Understanding that gambling is not a surefire way to make money is an important step in avoiding overwhelming disappointment.

it is therefore important to treat gambling as a fun recreational activity, not as a primary source of income, by disciplining a realistic attitude towards gambling and avoiding dependence on outcomes, so as to reduce the pressure and stress associated with gaming. Awareness of the rules and risks involved is also important for making wise decisions when it comes to gambling.

This is nothing new; it's even more frequent with some gamblers. The reason why I said this is because, during my days in school, sometimes I can have a game that I have predicted so well, but because the money is not there, I might just give up on staking it, but when I check, I will realize that the game was all played as predicted. It happened to some of my friends and others who were not close friends. As students, it's not all the time that you will have some cash to use for gambling. Even a gambler who is not working and doesn't have any other source of income would likely have this kind of experience.

This time around, if I make any predictions, I will make sure I stake them because I don't want to experience what has happened in the past.

Good point, if the person will have that opportunity to win and recover most of the time the reaction is not to quit but to push for more, taking that extra risk thinking that luck is already backing them or they already know the pattern and will aim for bigger amount of winnings, but at the end of the day, they will lose everything back including the money that they barrow.

Instead of recovering the previous loss and capable of paying back the loan, it will now be added to their future problems.

The answer is just very clear, It has happened to me, I predicted a game and didn't stake it, later checked and saw that the whole prediction game was in the money, and I felt so sad about it, badly it happened when I was gambling and have had a series of losses and the every single opportunity I had to win slipped my hand because of no funds to stake that game, So no one would want to let an opportunity like that to pass by.

Well, winning in gambling have or has nothing to do with how much a gambler have previously won and lost on the casino, for those playing slot or casino games, anytime they click the bet button, they have a 50 percent chances of losing and 50 percent chances of winning, and even to make the matter worst, when we add other factors that surround gambling, like the house edge and the like, this further reduces the gamblers chances of winning as well.

So, it's very important for gambler to always have this in mind, that in order not to feel very disappointed with the outcome of a game session, its advised not expect anything in return from the initial stage of the game, better to just calm down and allow luck do its thing, if at the end of the game, the gambler won nothing, leave and try again some other time, gambling is not an avenue for making money, anybody getting into gambling should understand the rules and risks involved.
