the thing is that we often forget that we won't hear about the stories of those who fail
it's way more common for those who hit significant wins to share their stories out of pride than someone that loses it all sharing their story because they'll be ashamed

it happens a lot on gambling
it's a mix of luck and skill but more than 50% of the skill is risk management

Although nowadays we also hear those that have lost a lot of money on gamble. Anyway it's only when the lost is big that they might cry out their lose before others know. From what I have observe, it's only when the gambler have made up his mind to win big money and constantly chase losses that they lose on gamble. Actually, when one noticed he's on a losing streak it's best for them to quit for awhile.

As long as I have gambled the results have gone against me most of the time but I don't think gambling is cheating. I blame myself for the fact that I have lost more than I have won in gambling. I feel that maybe I don't gamble with the right strategy which is why the outcome of gambling goes against me. If we blame that task because it will be difficult, then it is our failure. Not only I am a gambler but there are many other gamblers who are gambling regularly and gambling is a very popular platform now a days if gambling was cheating then gambling would not be so popular worldwide. I think people who think gambling is cheating should change their gambling strategy only to see that gambling doesn't feel like cheating.

And there is no way that your prediction will always be correct so it is always better to have a mindset that you might not win when you place a bet but people are always failing to understand all this things they just have the mindset that anytime they place a bet they must win, when you consistently keep losing that is when most of this gamblers will actually learn because most people even think they can cheat in gambling but that is even not possible so it will be better that you don't put to much pressure on your self when it comes to gambling and this is were a lot of people are missing the main point the one thing that kills gamblers a lot is the over confidence they so much trust there judgement that they will not lose any game because of how good they are and if you ask people that gamble very well they will tell you not to go to deep into gambling because you can lose your money plenty times.

I've got to understand that when gamblers win they tend to love it cause they're benefiting from it but once they start having losing streaks you'll see them getting all emotional and referring to it as a scam, I don't blame them anyways cause nobody likes to lose especially when they've placed their hope on it and end up losing. Gambling is a game of chance even though skill is required but it's more of chance than skill cause no matter how skillful a gambler feel he/she is they can never always be on the winning side, it's a 50/50 situation therefore gamblers should always have the mindset that they can't always get lucky. Funny enough same people who refer to gambling as cheating or scam would still fall back to it again after they're done being emotional. Anyways if they don't apply the risk management of gambling and avoid making it a habit then they're not far from having multiple losses than wins.

I totally agree with that motion, in fact when we start to see, the most important thing when we enter a casino is the money, the casino does not hesitate to take what corresponds to it, if we risk 1 dollar and the casino gives 0.01usd, the casino takes it, we must be the same, even if the profit is very minimal we must take it, not risk more than Necessary and only risk what we are willing to lose, the rest we can leave to luck and particular skills.

It depends on you, how you gamble and how much control you have over gambling. These factors are very important in gambling. If you gamble uncontrollably and don't feel the need to take a break, you'll keep losing money and feel like gambling is cheating. If gambling was a total fraud then gambling would not be so popular in the World Cup. If you follow experienced and skilled gamblers and watch their gambling strategies then you will understand the difference between your gambling and the gambling of those experienced gamblers. At first I also thought gambling was cheating but as I slowly learned to understand it became clear to me that I had a wrong idea about gambling. Later I gradually tried to apply my skills. Now I think more than once when placing a bet and I have more patience than before so now my losses are relatively less.

Yes and the point is every gambler must be more careful especially if they find something strange about new casino sites especially because it might be a scam from irresponsible parties.

I agree with your opinion, that basically self-control can also cause something unreasonable to become reasonable such as an example that on the platform there are terms and conditions for betting but with less control the gambler will be careless in entering the amount of his bet and he will feel cheated on the casino platform even though what is actually the fault of the gambler himself.

If we do not really implement self-control in gambling, it is certain that in the end when they lose, these gamblers will say that gambling is a scam type of business. But if you are a responsible player in a casino, you will not say this for sure.

Then if we are not careful in a casino that we choose to play at, for sure in the end we will lose and regret it, so we should still be careful as gamblers.

I myself believe this and I myself apply the same in my real life. One must depend on luck but I prefer to depend on my own skill rather than luck. If I talk about sports betting then no gambler can say that this sports betting depends on luck. Any one of the two teams will win and the team that wins will not win based on luck but their win will depend on their performance. Now if a gambler can't tell the difference between the two teams I think they will lose most of the matches they bet on. Everyone has their own strategy of gambling or betting but those who rely on others or follow others in gambling have nothing to gain in gambling and are more likely to lose. If anything can be done by applying one's own skill, then the result of that work must not be possible for us.

Initially it may confuse a person why gambling is actually associated with cheating and others trying to take your money. With time and circumstances people become aware of that sense of responsibility within them. Time management is very important in gambling where you might think that spending more time for entertainment might involve more positive possibilities but on the contrary it can be negative for a gambler. You have nicely given the idea that taking a break in gambling creates an opportunity. Gamblers can restart themselves mentally by taking a break in gambling which can create great possibilities for winning the next bet.

My idea of gambling was initially the same as yours but with time and circumstances it has changed to using multiple mediums for betting and spreading the money management. By correcting yourself with wrong ideas which becomes the next experience, patience is a kind of practice.

Sometimes some people share their gambling success stories and some people fail at gambling and interpret gambling as a scam, which opinion do you value more. First we need to see who is actually accepting gambling and who is gambling with what strategy. The person who shares his success story is a regular gambler and his story mentions that he not only wins but also often loses money. But those who consider gambling as a scam never mention in their posts that they have won some matches by gambling instead they discuss the negative aspects of gambling.

Here I would like to add that just as smartphones can be used for good and bad things, gambling can be good and bad. Those who play with much seriousness get more results but those who have no idea or skill about gambling lose the bet or gambling and hence they present gambling as cheating.

Control because there is no one to blame when you lose a bet even though many people look for scapegoats when they lose. That is in line with what people say because gambling is not a place to make money consistently so the risk of losing should be a consideration for people who see gambling as that step. If you are not able to take responsibility for your involvement in gambling then you should not start and that is the basis that should be considered because once you are involved that far into gambling it will be difficult to control yourself, especially if you want to stop gambling with a condition that is much more addiction.

It is very unethical when we gamble and end up losing and then look for someone else to blame, this may happen to those who gamble by being advised to do so in a casino, for example there are two people who are friends and this one friend suggests gambling that he suggests because he always gets profit quite often, but looking at each person's luck of course it is different so maybe his friend managed to win while he himself did not then he blames this friend who suggested a gambling platform, but even though it makes sense it is still unethical to blame others because previously we still had the right to reject the advice given.
You are right if from the start you can't be responsible then it is better not to do it at all, this is better like the saying that prevention is better than cure. So if we do gamble we must be prepared for whatever will happen and remember gambling is done based on our own will not from other people.

we saw this game and keep seeing it over and over again
the person gambles and loses by their own decisions, nobody forced them, then they say it's a bad day, blame it on the weather, on their wife, children or anything else
what do you think we can do as a society to make people more responsible for their own actions?

Gambling is certainly done from one's own decision, the casino does not force everyone who knows gambling to gamble, so losing or winning is a consequence that must be accepted. Maybe there are friends of ours who force or suggest us to gamble, I myself have experienced where I experienced defeat and my friend suggested to bet on the casino he suggested, sometimes there is an element of forcing some just suggest, but even so it all comes back to ourselves.

It is actually difficult to make them aware to be responsible for the actions they take, this is more directed at their own awareness, because even if you advise them it is likely to be ignored why is that? because I myself once advised my friend who was addicted but what happened was conflict.

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

It will be only a scam if you lose your money.

But for those who are winning big, then how can you call gambling a scam? There's a lot of proof already that someone has won big, thru lottery or even a jackpot in a casino so for them it's real as it gets.

However, for those that are losing money, they will call every excuses in the book and blame everyone except themselves and call gambling scams.

You are absolutely right because there are some people who have changed their lives by gambling. I have seen many people who have won jackpots worth crores of rupees. And they are living a very nice life with their cars. And there are some people who have lost all their money in gambling and are sitting on the road. But yes, if you gamble, then you have to take full responsibility because if you play wisely, you will definitely benefit, but if you do not have complete knowledge, then you will not be able to benefit from it.

we saw this game and keep seeing it over and over again

Yes your question has discussed a deep side of the very important society’s responsibility and making aware of their actions is actually a long-term response. One thing is eternal truth that sometimes people make mistakes by their own decisions and blame others. When they are facing any failure. A person must be responsible because education requires change in conscious intelligence and culture to ensure that they are aware of the results of their actions. For this, we must teach our children to avoid such immoral activity. So we all have to get out of such evil in building a beautiful society then we think our next generation will be protected.

And another mistake is that they do not enter customer support to ask what really happened, they directly say and even spread that the casino has cheated them with various accusations that are not yet clear about their certainty.
Beginners like this are very annoying, sometimes they create bad sentiment among gamblers who are still classified as beginners, in reputable and large casino there must be good solution to every unpleasant incident for customers and what customers have to do is just be patient and ask for solution in the customer support service of the casino they use.

I believe there should be a laid down protocol for people to undergo first before being allowed to raise such concerns and accusations. This would help prevent further spreading of false allegations and unnecessary alarm. I believe there are things that are required for the customers to do whenever they encounter certain problems, and if maybe they’ve undergone those procedures and still nothing positive, then they may be allowed to raise their complaints. But these people fail to undergo those processes and move straight to publicly raising accusations.

Another addition is that there are many complaints from newbie accounts which could be that they did not read the Tos, if the casino is reputable then when you make a withdrawal but it is canceled it means there is a problem which could be an unfair win, or because they just want to check for a long time to review it.

Yeah and due to impatience and ignorance, they end up filing a complaint or laying an accusations on them, thereby giving the company a bad image, without actually knowing that the fault was initially from them. That's why people should get their facts right before moving forward to lay accusations on these casinos.

And another mistake is that they do not enter customer support to ask what really happened, they directly say and even spread that the casino has cheated them with various accusations that are not yet clear about their certainty.
Beginners like this are very annoying, sometimes they create bad sentiment among gamblers who are still classified as beginners, in reputable and large casino there must be good solution to every unpleasant incident for customers and what customers have to do is just be patient and ask for solution in the customer support service of the casino they use.

Your idea about customers is correct, they did not pay much attention to the necessary instructions to get the service after entering the casino platform. Due to their own incompetence they started blaming the casino authorities for being cheated. After starting the transaction a form related to the terms and conditions is sent to them and confirmation is taken from the customers. Most of the customers agree without feeling the need to read about it.

In fact instead of blaming only themselves for the gamblers being cheated, it may be right in some cases to blame the casino developers because they also do not mention the details of the rules secretly. The gamblers purpose is to spend time on the boards and earn money through it other things are secondary to them. Casinos should create a separate cell for customer complaints and take effective measures accordingly. Most of the big casinos have the option of messaging for immediate resolution.
