Experienced gamblers are not trying to make money from it, there are many examples even among celebrities who bet just for fun, not trying to make money from it. Moreover, many of them have already made a fortune and that is why gambling, whether it is ordinary bets, or some games - for them just entertainment. But those who are trying to make money at it I think will never be able to do it

Yes, some persons (celebrities or rich dudes) take gambling as nothing very serious or not even close to what they can compare as a source of income because they already made a fortune from another source of income. They use gambling for fun and even if they are gambling to make profit, they are not completely relying on gambling as a source of income but many gamblers are making this mistake, they see gambling as something that they can easily get quick money from.

Talking about rich people, yes, usually they are the type of people who really like to see everything from various sides before they get involved, especially if for example the activity involves money and risk, usually they will only be serious if for example the activity has certainty and guarantee to produce, and I am sure rich people must know and understand about what and how gambling is especially from the concept of winning and losing and that is what makes me agree with your idea that they most likely will not take gambling too seriously. So with that I am very sure that most likely the purpose of rich people getting involved in gambling is just to find entertainment in the midst of the busyness they have in their lives, usually they only gamble when they have boring free time and losing will not be a problem for them.

Hi guys let have your view on this questions because only real gamblers will understand what I mean?
Is Gambling with your hard earned money Worth it because I have come to the conclusion that gambling is a scam

I think 50+ years ago gambling was a scam everywhere without exceptions. But then at some point somewhere around 30 years ago or so gambling operators started to realize that being fair is profitable, and now we have the situation when all known gambling platforms are fair, and gambling remains a scam only some in sh*tty countries or regions. Avoid playing there, guys. If you want to have fun with gambling, choose to play only in places run by reputable a and well-known operators.

It can only be a scam when you keep losing and there's no winner in the long run. Gambling is one of the surest ways of making money. I mean, I have been playing on rollspace and I win literally Everytime. It's a PVP game so no algorithm to always make the computer win.

Such mindset is not right , don't take gambling as a means of making money , you can channel your energy on something else and take gambling as something you do for fun so that you won't also endup saying gambling or the casino is a scam ( there are some bad casino at there though, so be careful).

I don't think continuous losing makes gambling a scam , in that continuous there's no way you won't make some wins , is common in gambling , when your losing is higher than your wins, that's why you need gamble wisely to minimise or reduce losses .

Gambling activity has nothing to do with scam and people need to understand that. If we gamble and we are not making the kind of profits we are meant to make, it is better to take a leave and come back with a better strategy that to conclude that gambling is a scam.
Majority especially the newbies still want to make fast profits from gambling as if it is a ponzi scheme. Once we understand that gambling is not everyday winning ideology, we are not going to be tempted with the claims of making drastic profits from gambling.

Yes you are right, gamble is not a scam. It's just the way we view it from our end. And the worse thing one would do is by chasing losses or believing we could generate wealth through gamble. However, it's essential to always risky what we can afford to lose and setting a limit for deposits anytime we want to gamble, by doing thing we can be able to gamble safe without becoming addicted to it.

Yes, this is just a difference of opinion for each individual, and usually people who say gambling is a scam are those who in my opinion are chasing victory in gambling because when they lose they cannot accept it at first, usually they gamble because they are attracted to advertisements that are spread stating how easy it is to win so they are interested and gamble but the results are disappointing and that's where they conclude that gambling is a scam or they conclude that the casino they see the advertisement for is a cheating casino. In general, if we already know about gambling, then we should know clearly that gambling is an activity that has a risk for us to lose money, and for people who understand this they will not gamble with full hope of winning, unlike those who chase victory, usually they will continue to gamble even though they have experienced consecutive defeats.

But now the reason is because most people usually lose in gambling that's why they kept saying gambling is scam, because they believed that they can't get rich fast just by gambling, lol like gambling is some kind of fairy tale stuff or charity gambling far from that , gambling is all About been entertained and same time earning some extra bucks.

Well, I really can’t blame them - there are lots of promotions out there where that showcases the possibility of you being able to win millions via gambling and also some sponsored content out there where players earn millions from the little amount they wagered and that is why most people feel like the casino is scamming them when they are unable to reproduce the result of those they saw before entering into gambling.

Let's be objective here, though you have some points, in the end, you still can't blame it on "gambling" as a context, the same is happening in other businesses and risky activities. Even in Bitcoin, you see and hear a lot of promises, some are even using it as a ponzi. Should we now blame Bitcoin for it? No, we can only blame those who are using Bitcoin as a tricky/scamming and selfish way to lure people into various programs thereby tarnishing the good name of Bitcoin.

This is where wisdom and smartness from people come from, you don't believe anything until you test it and you have to test it carefully. Also, every new thing should be learned before venturing into them, and no one should gamble before learning it to know its rudiments and how risky it is.

We should also read the Ts&Cs to decide whether we should go ahead or not.

Gambling can never be a scam. Gambling is just a game.

I can understand his/her impression and if we look into how the gambling game was programmed which is to always favor the house there are huge possibilities for gambling newbies who don't understand the aspect of gambling just to be a game of chance.

Quote from: Bitcoinsummoner on January 10, 2025, 09:57:10 PM

If the name of this game were anything other than gambling, then this game would be known by that name. This game is called risk because by playing this game, some people become rich overnight or become banana trees, and some become street beggars overnight. We can call some people involved in gambling bad, but not everyone is bad. A handful of people think that the entire game is a scam.

This doesn't matter, and for the record, many people have named gambling different types of names based on their point of view about the game. However, it never changes the game name or impacts the understanding of people about the game.
Gambling is seen as something bad by the people who don't understand the game concept, or are not mature enough to accept the game concept so they can work on it.

It's when people fail to understand gambling, that's when they will say that gambling is a scam, you have stated it very clear about gambling...its obvious and understanding that gambling is not a scam, its a game of trial in which on the process of trying you can be opportune to win and sometimes you may lose

But people who participate in the gambling frequently or regularly when they experience twice or triple times of lost in the gambling, they will come in conclusion that gambling is all about scam, actually we have scam gambling platform in which when you win they will denied you access to make a withdrawal, that is a pure gambling scam from such gambling websites, but its few gambling platform that do such.

I don't rule out the possibility that some games or some casinos are rigged, but I believe that the most casinos are legitimate because they would not risk their reputation to scam a few people. The word about scams go out far and they would soon be out of business. Not worth it in my opinion.

People with that sort of mindset shouldn’t be gambling, they’ve got no place with gambling because, they can’t bear the loss that comes with it. It’s just not logical enough for them and once they can’t comprehend, it becomes a scam. Unfortunately for them, that’s just how gambling is!

I believe what you said mate. The problem is that, players with such mindset are definitely newbies who thinks they can abruptly make a fortune from gambling but as they continue to gamble and luck running against them which results to lose of funds, then they will tag gambling as scam. Experience gamblers don't label gambling as scam because they already know what they are up with.

Experienced gamblers are not trying to make money from it, there are many examples even among celebrities who bet just for fun, not trying to make money from it.

I’m sure most of us here must have read one or two articles about some random gambler winning jackpot after few bets or some live streamers constantly posting their bets containing 1000x odds but when you go and play that same game you won’t be able to reproduce such result after 100s of bets; that’s just what I think.

People tend to believe in miracles, and it is easiest to believe when you believe someone else's example, but not everyone understands that this can be done precisely to lure, because even if one player succeeded, which we are not sure about, then to repeat it, thousands or maybe many more attempts are needed, which still will not lead to the same result. This does not mean that you cannot win in gambling, it only means that you are unlikely to achieve such stunning results that are shown to us.

It is upsetting that people, starting to play, forget about tomorrow, spending everything to the cent, and then, instead of good memories, they blame the whole world, instead of themselves.

I just happen to notice that we have different kinds of people in this gambling industry and in other areas of life: those who do things, and if they come out successful, they take the glory and praise themselves for the good skill of getting it, and at the same time, if they lose after so many efforts of trying to win on several occasions, they blame the system for being unfair and manipulated; they never want to take any blame for their wrong action because they don't believe to ever be wrong.

And those who, both in good and bad experiences, take full responsibility for their own decisions and don't blame it on others—those sets of people are the ones who parade themselves online, calling gambling fraud and whatever they can to cheat on.

So that will depend on the casino. If the casino is a scam, then people will get scam from the casino and not from gambling. Gambling is just an activity while casino is a place to playing gambling so people should understand about that and not saying that gambling is a scam. Even if they are lose their money in a reputable casino, that will not be a scam because you willing to spend your money by playing gambling so you must be careful. Gambling have its risk so people who want to playing gambling must not takes the big risk by always limiting their money and time and stop gambling when its enough.

Those who experience bankruptcy overnight to become beggars are the ones who consider gambling to be a scam, because people like this are usually those who expect too much, such as thinking that they can get rich easily, indeed winning at gambling can make you rich but you should not forget the risk of losing more, therefore defeat is the most common thing that happens than people who win.

Gambling itself is not a negative or bad thing, but many people think gambling is bad because they only see the many people who experience the bad effects of gambling, even though it is purely the fault of each individual.

Honestly I really don't understand why there are always some people who assume or think that gambling is a scam, I would assume that the assumption is reasonable if for example they experience problems outside of the results at the end of the game such as a failed deposit process or a withdrawal process that is never completed or the casino does not pay the gamblers' winnings, but if for example the problem is that gamblers assume that they are being cheated by the casino just because they lose or because the results are not as expected then it is clearly a very ridiculous thing.

Because after all it is clear as you said that gambling is a risky game or a game that involves money, opportunities and risks which means that besides you can get profit you can also lose all the money you deposit. And on the other hand honestly I have never heard of gamblers who managed to get rich just by gambling unless they are a bookie or the owner of the casino itself.

When talking about promotion, it will be very natural when a site provides statements that seem exaggerated because after all, their goal is to lure gamblers to play on their site and that is actually fine to do. As for when they try to play and lose does not mean they are deceived because we must realize that gambling the ratio of defeat will be much greater than victory and we must be prepared to lose when we want to do gambling because in the end expecting victory when we start gambling especially with minimal capital it will sound clichéd and that level of desire is too imposing for me.

We can't feel cheated by gambling because after all, even though there are some moments we are given victory but it is only as a lure in the end whether we can think more logically or not because in the end it all comes back to ambition even though we have won we will never be satisfied which in the end the victory we get can end in defeat which leads to the exhaustion of the balance we have because we cannot control ourselves properly in the gambling we do.
