Topic: "I must make it through gambling" - page 3. (Read 794 times)

The person seems to have no other recourse than gambling, and his mind is stuck. Everyone knows that money can come from anywhere. One chance can bring him a lot of money, still he has lost many times.
He also said that losing is a sign to win more, obviously a contradictory principle. Because when you lose, it means you should learn to gamble less, start organising and stay in healthy mind control.

These two will probably go broke faster than everyone you quoted.
"i will never give up" sure, gambling won't give up on you either, because you're the one who's gonna give up eventually and of course will go broke. I would want to hear his comments after he go broke lol.
"we lose to win more" first time I've heard/read about this in gambling. It's actually the other way around lol.
These are such ridiculous gamblers, thinking about getting rich through gambling.

Yes, I believe that some people thinks like that and have that mindset. They really wants to wins much money from gambling but they do not consider that gambling can also makes them lose big money. If I see a gambler with such mindset, I will advise that person and help him to change his mindset because that is a wrong thing that he must realize. I am lucky enough that I don't have that such mindset because I know that gambling can not gives me money and only many problems. Although I almost becomes addicted to gambling before but my friends and families saved me before so I don't get deeper in gambling.

There is nothing surprising in such thoughts. I myself once thought about the same thing a long time ago. In fact, all these thoughts are a belief in a miracle. Some people go through this stage of naivety and begin to look at things adequately, without fantasies. Other people get stuck in this state and eventually fall into gambling addiction, also accompanied by a feeling of resentment at the injustice of the world or even God.
The bad thing is that they find the same like-minded people, for example, on social networks, begin to communicate, and this only provides mutual support to each other, plunging deeper and deeper into their delusions together.

Advising someone with that kind of thinking is pointless, at best he will say that it's none of your business and you should just leave him alone. It's better to let them learn their lesson and then we can give them advice - and it also depends on the person, if the person has a hard temper and is difficult to talk to, we shouldn't say anything to them, until they ask us for advice, because in some cases people like this won't understand until they learn their lesson. But if he wants to be told, especially if he is the closest person to us, then we need to advise him that this thinking is wrong and sooner or later if he continues to gamble with this thinking, then his finances will be destroyed and worse he will be addicted to gambling.

Of course because I myself used to experience it when start gambling also had the same thoughts like that and it went on for quite long time until I realized that all those thoughts were just stupidity that had damaged the goals and approaches in gambling, I lost lot of money and experienced some difficult conditions just because of various thoughts like that.
And if there are people I know who have beliefs about such thoughts then I try as much as possible to provide direction and advice to start changing it before it too late and has bad impact in the future, but sometimes people out there can't realize the mistake in having mindset about gambling if they haven't felt the various impacts.

I believe there are gamblers who think like that when they have started to get addicted and usually see the wins that other people get and they want to be like that person who succeeded through gambling, that's why sometimes there are many gambling advertisements that show someone's win to tempt gamblers to gamble more so they can succeed and not give up, this kind of mindset is very difficult to eliminate because they will be stubborn even if given advice.

It doesn't take much to find this because in my own environment, people like this think that the bigger and more defeats they experience, the bigger their victory will be later. They call the defeats they experience like they are saving because they believe that later they will get a big victory that matches the amount of loss they experience, this is ridiculous, I myself just laugh when I hear it.
I once advised him gently, but maybe because that was his initial thought on gambling like that, it was difficult to make him realize that gambling was not what he thought, I myself did not force him to get rid of that thought, I only occasionally reminded him not to overdo it.

Initially the motivation is good and inspiring,but must it be through gambling.Does success really have to start through gambling or must it really come through gambling.
Some people motivation and self worth needs to be straightened,he quite passionate about his wealth status but the path he chooses is definitely out of track.
Inasmuch as gambling is risky,too much people believe and confide in it so much for survival which is also insecure.

I often see comments like that and some are motivational comments not to give up and some advise not to gamble excessively, and the good and bad, advantages and disadvantages in every title given must be there, but it all depends on who responds to it so as not to get trapped.

And don't take it too seriously because people will judge it themselves based on their experience and not really consider the comments and not necessarily what is said is in accordance with reality and is just a joke, and I have also commented not to give up and also give good advice and it all depends on the title. And even though it's true, maybe they already feel desperate and have the belief to continue gambling to get what they want or maybe they have become one of the insiders so that those who read it continue to gamble because there is encouragement.

Dealing with gamblers who hold delusional beliefs like "I must make it through gambling" is akin to talking to flat-earthers or individuals deeply entrenched in religious or cult-like ideologies. Their mindset often stems from emotional reasoning rather than logic, making rational discussions feel futile. They cling to hope, luck, or misguided convictions, rejecting evidence or alternative perspectives.

In such cases, trying to argue with facts usually backfires. Instead, it's like planting seeds point out inconsistencies gently and let them reflect over time. Unfortunately, many only realize the truth after experiencing significant losses or consequences, just as flat-earthers might reconsider their views only after undeniable evidence. Patience and empathy are key, but don't waste too much energy you can't help someone unwilling to question their own beliefs.

To genuinely help, focus on steering the conversation toward self-reflection rather than confrontation. For instance, ask them questions like, "What's your backup plan if this doesn't work out?" or "Have you considered tracking how much you spend versus what you win?" These questions gently introduce them to the reality of their situation without triggering defensiveness. Sharing relatable stories or examples of people who shifted away from gambling and found success elsewhere can also inspire them to reconsider their path. Sometimes, planting small doubts or alternatives is more effective than outright disagreement.

The key on here is that you dont make yourself that getting addicted, because on the time or moment that you do make yourself having those kind of hopes from time to time then it will really be just that too impossible that you could be able to set out those limits for yourself. You will really be just that keeps on failing because you cant be able to stop because of those kind of hopes inside your mind. We do know on how powerful human brain could be and same goes with on that emotions on which if you arent that good on controlling those things then you are really that bound into tons of mistakes and errors. This is something that you do really need to look upon specially if you dont have that plan on messing up your life with gambling then you should be thinking up sensibly into the actions that you had made out.

Gambling is really just that for fun and not for making money. On the time or moment that you do find yourself having some issues about it then better stop completely and never look back. People will really be only trying out to do things when the damage has been already done. It will really be totally destroying up someones financial status or conditions if you wont be that careful in regarding into your actions.

In fact, the belief that “I have to win big in gambling” can very well be present in real life. I know that there are big traders and investors who have achieved success in the cryptocurrency or stock market, but who are haunted by the thought that in order to be considered intellectuals, they must necessarily win big in sports betting. Not in a casino, but in sports betting (or in betting in general). You know, it is more difficult to make money in betting than in the stock market or in cryptocurrency. However, the paradox is that it is often this difficulty that motivates people to play. It is like an additional level of difficulty in computer games. The more difficulties you have overcome, the more respect you have for yourself.

Maybe this guy has got a big bag full of money. Only such kind of people can think in such a way. Whether he is passionate or not is secondary, but he shouldn't serve as a motivational person. People's money minds will be wavering, thinking of different things, and when they are in loss, something in support of what they've done will make them happy. Seeing these kinds of people, easily they'll get deviated. Such things shouldn't happen, and gambling is not a never-give-up thing. When we take this into account, we're towards fall. This is the reality. Maybe a very small percentage of people might've turned successful, which is the exception and the result of the luck factor.

Those are word of encouragement that may Leed to another addiction. Wining a bet  or making it through gambling is not by force but it's by luck. Most people have been there for too long and there is nothing to show forth so they decided to stop. So any of this social media influencers will say all manner of things to get attention and promote his page without knowing the damage he is causing to people, misleeding them to believe they must win even when all may not be able to win big.

This is a mindset to destroy you. I have the experience of how it felt. When I was winning when gambling, I start calculating all the loses I made on gambling not considering most of it were indeed gambling earning. The mindset to get back to profit would make you bet larger amounts. More larger when you are losing. The bets are reckless and aimed at getting back money quicker which leads to losing it all.
For responsible gambling, you should not change your gambling amount and strategy due to your past results. You can increase the bet if it's your pre set strategy but don't bet anything emotionally or in a hurry.

A loss doesnt mean you win bigger later, I dont really agree with that reasoning but I do think even a loss can count for something mostly experience.   I will always argue people should learn a game while playing smaller amounts, only if everything appears right do you gamble the larger amounts as obviously you can lose at any time.

Nothing is owed in luck to any player, Ive too often lost a game in a row to believe it has to come my way exactly when I expect it to do so.   Unfortunately the odds are against you, the game has a cost to playing and the player must pay that cost while gambling just like a mortgage is not merely repaying the cost of the house you must pay for the opportunity.  Its not so unknown a deal just a hard risk and payment to take, most of us wont be the big winner so its just a game hoping to be that one who is.  Play enjoy the game but stay realistic is best

Sometimes I do believe that most of those comments are just mere jokes by X users to get attention, but I have really seen someone who follows one of these dudes and places a bet on one game almost every single day with an exact amount with the hope of getting something out of it at the end of the day; he believes one winning will cover up all that he is spending and will change his life from a bus driver to a wealthier guy.

With gambling being a highly probable field, it isn’t entirely out of space to think this way.
Most of the individuals you find with this mindset are those that have searched their minds and didn’t see anything forthcoming from any other field of human endeavors. They probably have none and as such, turn to gambling for a saving grace.what can they say, it gives them hope and a promise of a better tomorrow, even if it’s only in their heads.

In truth, it would take 1 out of a thousand to scale this through. Several persons are always going to keep hoping and keep getting disappointed each time. I wouldn’t advice them against it though, I would say;
You just ensure you don’t become an addict and find away to support yourself besides gambling.

We are often captives to the limitations of our own minds and enjoy getting comfortable within those limits. From the day most people are born they seek reassurance and will often live in happy ignorance if it means they don't have to think too hard about life or open themselves up to new "scary" experiences. Going into the unknown is a hostile experience that many will actively or subconsciously avoid, so we stick with what we know. The same tricks can work against us when it comes to gambling - when you have walked so far down a path, it takes a tremendous effort to change course or walk back on yourself, because you are basically admitting that all those prior experiences are wasted. This is a very hurtful and stressful experience to confront, which is a blocker that will stop gambling addicts from breaking free until they reach that low moment of realization.
