Topic: Is Gambling a scam - page 4. (Read 5704 times)

One of the reasons why gambling is called a scam is that most websites cheat gamblers in the way you have discussed. There are also some sites that deliberately do not let gamblers win. Maybe the developers of those sites have not prepared the games/casinos in a user-friendly way that why gamblers lose most of the time.
Another reason why gambling is called a scam is that gamblers mostly lose from reputable casinos or gaming sites as well as betting sites. You can be confident in getting your money back from reputable betting sites but some others are unreliable. I consider the trustworthy side when betting which is confident in getting money.

In general, the more information one has about a topic one engages with, the better. In the case of gambling, having more information about reliability of casinos, edge of houses, regulations and chances, it becomes less likely for us to become addicted to gambling from the creation of false expectations.
I have always thought those who have high expectations on their bets and wager and believe they could turn millionaires in the blink of an eye, it is because they lack enough education and information to realize gambling is nothing but a very profitable business, not charities, and money always needs to come from somewhere, in the case from the majority of gamblers who lose to the house.
If more people understood so, there would be less gambling addicted people on this planet.

In fact the most important thing in gambling is to control your emotions, the outcome of gambling is completely dependent on luck, gambling uncontrolled, impulsive, excessive greed and gambling for money, it will make you totally addicted. And it is because of this passion and addiction that people lose their self-control while gambling, resulting in huge financial losses.  So it is important to have the right intention, you only gamble with a small amount of money for entertainment (which you can lose). Avoid the mindset of recovering that money when you suffer a loss, and stop yourself at the right time. A gambler can keep himself away from major financial losses if everything is well maintained.

Exactly! you need to have that capability to control your emotions, as gambling always carries risk and if you don't know how to control then you'll suffer more loses, and for most of those who keep losing and become addicted they mostly blame the house there's some who pointing fingers to someone and some that accused the house that cheats on them as they are expecting to have a better result but at the end of the session they lose everything they deposit and regret such mistakes.

I do not think gambling is a scam. It would be extremely selfish for a gambler to believe that gambling is a scam only when he loses but then he gets paid when he wins. If a gambler is paid for his winnings, this cannot be considered a scam. I also know that there are scam betting websites that never pay out winnings. Only deposits are permitted, with no provision for withdrawal of winnings following deposits. Except in these cases, those who gamble on a reputable betting site cannot claim to have been scammed simply because they do not win. This is because, in most cases, a person who wagers any amount should be aware that it is a 50/50 chance that they will win or lose. 

How can gambling be a scam,are you not the one who shake the money on the gamble,did anyone convince you to gamble,it's just a self decision you took out of frustration nothing else.

Having such thoughts may be a fairness but on the other hand we also have to think rationally because in this case when we lose it does not mean that we are also victims of fraud but it is necessary to realize that gambling still has strong things that must be realized, namely luck.

If we think more positively then we are not lucky with it, especially gambling is something that is indeed difficult because the ratio of defeat will be far greater than the victory that is owned so in the end we must realize that before overthinking and assume we are cheated by the gambling that occurs.

In the end, when we start to gamble, we must realize that gambling is not easy and we cannot expect more for every game with victory because it is an impossible thing to happen in gambling.

You would really be ending up such conclusion or assumptions that you are dealing up with some scam sites specially if you have done your very best and applying any strategies that you are applying on which you are really that thinking that you might be that being scammed on which this is really that a very normal mindset to have at the time that you do make out such engagement. Whenever you are losing money then you do love on pointing out your fingers on which you've been believing that they are totally fair. This is why there are tons of people or gamblers who are really that pushing their limits and even taking up some loans or borrowing money just for them to chase up into the loses that they are having. They will be having those kind of thinking that they might be that lucky on next time. When they have lost again then they will be trying out to spread up some false accusations that the site or platform isnt fair on which this is totally BS, ruining up someones reputation just because you have lost? This is kind of impulsiveness on which most gamblers do really end up into. If you are that not good when it comes to self control then it will be best or better that you should be wary at least into the actions that you are that into so that you wont be that making yourself that look stupid just because of some false accusations.

Yes, the advantage we have with the photo is that the topics are addressed in more detail, it is more specific and the information is much more relevant, when searching on the Internet it is difficult to find certain information, now the Importance of all this in the forum is so that the more advice is read the more options we have to be able to Maneuver and try not to lose money, with more knowledge of how to act I think the option of losing money is reduced, and in the end that is what is sought, not to lose money.

Yup, when things didn't went according to your expected outcome especially when you're done with your research, when you think that everything is moving according to how you expect but it turned against you when the outcome was announce, there are many rumors that circulate and the gambler who lost their bets surely thinks that they've been scam.

But, that's for sure is not new as there are upset that happened and even the heavy favorite loses their game and bring dissapointment to every bettors who believes in them,.

People who aim to make money in gambling usually they cannot accept the defeat that happened to them so the conclusion they draw is that gambling or casinos are fraud, and with what you said it also includes because usually people who aim to seek profit in gambling are those who do not really understand what gambling is because gambling is not a means to make money but there are some of them who gamble to seek profit of course this is not true.

It is very unethical to say that casinos are fraud, they must fix their own perceptions not to gamble with the aim of making money, because winning in gambling is not certain to be obtained and if not for luck then they will not get the victory.

Being active in the forum doesn't guarantee to avoid scams. There are always members who are curious with new casinos. So, they can fall into the scams, too. Not every time we get the warning of scam sites, so the forum members may not know it. However, if all the forum members only focus on the popular casino sites in the forum, surely the scams can be avoided together. Anyway for the popular gambling sites, the teams should respond quickly whenever we have a problem with withdrawal. But for the new gambling sites, the teams may not respond at all. Yes, that's why it is better to use trusted gambling sites to avoid this cases.

I understand what you mean, but I am not focusing one hundred percent of the fun or thrill factor with comes to gambling, but rather in the learning process which could help people to avoid losses as they mature as gamblers. Betting on sports is more slow-paced and new gamblers can easily monitor their activity, it is harder to do the same with games which allows one to wager as fast as we can click on a button.
Whether someone o more or less a sport bettor, I would still advice them to first try betting before moving onto casino games, it will help them to recognize how much money they feel comfortable losing and when they are crossing a red line financially.
Realistically, betting on sports while not being a fan of any will inevitably lead to losses, but those will be very valuable as a lesson.

You are right; gambling can only be said to be a scam if the person is gambling and does not know what gambling is in the first place or if the system turns to scam the person by providing an unfair result to the person. Let's use sports betting for instance, where you can place your bet and know the outcome of the game even before you check your bet result in the casino, or eventually the game result doesn't turn out to be the way it's supposed to in the sports event. That's why someone should accuse the system.

The thing is  - not all gamblers are sportsbettors. Some of them are just happy playing those casino classics like dice, roulette and others. Thus, for those who are playing luck-based games, they need to monitor their gambling activities as these games are quite addicting. Do remember that this game only needs some luck and not skills. So if you feel you are being tricked by the casino, it is not. It is how this game is designed. You can also check the provable fairness of the gambe if you are in doubt. But the fact is, I haven't read anyone who discovered the mathematical formula for luck-based games that can make them rake good money out of it.

By the way, Only because of the nature of a game like dices, I would never advice a novice gambler to start their journey by rolling them and using some crazy low multipliers like 1,02x.
I would advice everyone who want to immerse into the with of gambling to start by testing their luck with sportbetting, which is slow-paced and does not release as much dopamine in such a short period of time as dices, Plinko or crash do, in my opinion.
Once the novice gamblers understand and Leandra about their limits and the way to mange their wager, then it would be okey to move onto other fast-paced games, using money they can afford to lose very quick and unpredictably.

I learnt the hard way when comes to knowing how to handle one's bankroll, and it was all because of dices.

Previously, the casino itself did not have an element of forcing its players to allocate as much money as possible to bet, losing a lot of money is a risk of careless player actions in gambling because the risk of losing money with a large or small scale depends on ourselves, if we ourselves can gamble with good self-control such as with the limits set then it can prevent the loss of a lot of money, it's just that many people gamble brutally by ignoring the risk of loss that is clearly certain to occur.
Luckily you can get a jackpot in gambling because it is only experienced by a few people because it is impossible for everyone who gambles to get a big win or jackpot. The thing to note is that with many casinos operating now, you must be able to choose a casino that has a good reputation so that no fraud occurs.

You are absolutely right. Only gamblers who have lost a lot of money say that gambling is a scam or something. In fact, it is their own fault for not having a strategy in gambling or not being able to evaluate the existing strategy so that they experience consecutive defeats. They should blame themselves for the strategy or decisions they have made so that they experience big losses.

I personally have won a jackpot and my friend has also won a jackpot when gambling when making a withdrawal in seconds the money goes directly into our account. If gambling is cheating when winning the jackpot should not be able to be withdrawn, so gambling is not cheating, even all gambling always maintains trust in customers every time they make a transaction. The point is when you lose when gambling, don't blame gambling as a scam, this is the same as when trading and losing then saying trading is cheating, when in fact what we have to do is introspect ourselves in implementing the strategy and analyzing it correctly so that we can minimize losses.

True the more you engage with this kind of topics in forum, the more you will be knowledgeable and that's a blessing. You will be more aware and avoid those unnecessary things in life especially those things that doesn't have any value for your growth. Being cautious in everything you see on the internet is a must thing you should do; scammers are everywhere, and people are taking advantage of those weak people.

I agree with that.
Being on this forum really opened my eyes and I have been cautious about the links that I will press. It's not a bad thing and actually, it will help us be more secure.
The only problem that I see is that they are using many ways for click baits and one of them is our emails that sometimes have promotions of a new online casino that offers great deposit registration. The only thing is that they don't really have a good reputation and there's a high chance that we won't receive anything.
