It is sad to say, but many people who become addicted to gambling end up blaming the casino for their losses, even accusing them of being a scam. In fact, I’ve even heard this from a friend after losing a huge amount, convinced that the results were manipulated. It is unfortunate, but this is what happens when we don’t fully understand our position as gamblers. 
It’s sad indeed, many gamblers gamble and forget the fact that regardless of how good your prediction and analytical skills are, the house always has an edge over the gamblers and then they trust their judgments more and then when things don’t go as predicted, they blame the house for manipulating the outcome. There are so many factors that gamblers should at all time put into adequate consideration before stepping into the casino, and that is the fact that nothing is certain when it comes to gambling and when they fail to realize this, they get into one trouble or the other.

I used to say that gambling is more of a 50/50, 50 for the house and 50 for the gamblers, but then I realized later on that it’s not true, because if it was actually a 50/50, then the gamblers would be winning just as much as they’re losing, but we already know this isn’t the case and the worst part of it is that many gamblers do not realize this fact.

There are many gamblers who have only lost money since they started gambling so it is natural for them to say that gambling is a complete scam. I have seen many gamblers and many gamblers have come to me questioning that if gambling was not a scam they would have gambled so much that a result would have been in their favor but so far they have not. By asking such questions, I explained to them that there are rules for everything and if we do something outside the rules or if we do something without applying our skills, then the results will not come in our favor. There are many gamblers who are making a lot of money by playing sports betting or other gambling so how can we say that gambling is a complete scam. If the same thing happened to everyone then maybe I would talk about it but some gamblers are making profits and some gamblers are making consistent losses so it can't really be said that gambling is a scam.

the percentage of people who win in gambling and the percentage of people who lose in gambling cannot be equated because it is clear that people who lose in gambling is higher than the people who wins in gambling so if we bring the statistics you will see the different between people that the benefited in gambling and the people who have not benefited in the gambling through winning and also losing so this things now will make you to have a limitation of your participation in gambling and also make you do not have hope every time that you win in the gambling often or you will lose
Higher loosing keeps the casino in the business and so they are often benefitting more from the losses, even if at a point there's a wave of winnings which passes that of losses he casinos still Will not be shutting down because they aren't there for the short time they are in the business for the long term so they believe future wins that will get them to recover every payments they have made is ahead, and the Gamblers never get satisfied regardless of how much they win, they always still want more.
Can you see that in the end, both casinos and gamblers are interested in the same thing (winning) and their behaviour toward getting it is not always different? The only difference is that casinos have the edge over the system, otherwise, if a gambler is always winning, he will keep coming so long as the casino pays his winning. This is why I see it in the way of fairness and not cheating/scamming which many people infer into this. So long as casinos are true to their ToS, it's fair play. It's now left to the gambler to know the right games to play and how well to play them to reduce the dominance of the house.

Whatever that lets you play without knowing will turn out a scam. Especially if you easily risk your funds in the hope of creating big gains, that type of mindset can easily get scam. Gambling will never guarantee big and consistent gains, the only certain in gambling is that you’ll definitely lose, and even increase your losses if you tend to bet without caution.
First of all we need to understand what scam is and how it works. We understand scam to be a false representation of something in order to confuse people into believing what isn’t really true, while in reality, it’s a totally different thing. Now scam is when you tell someone, this is what this thing does, when you do this, you’ll get this exact result, and when/if you end up doing as told, you get a totally different result.

Now with this explanation, is gambling or should gambling be really considered a scam or are there just those who misunderstand its true nature and purpose? For me I’ll say that there are people who misunderstand gambling and thereby develop the wrong approach. There’s no place I’ve seen casinos say that when you play, that winning is guaranteed, but unfortunately some people end up having this mentality and they end up being misled.
Perhaps there is always some misunderstanding when it comes to gambling because most people think it is a way to earn big money. And the sad reality is that it can destroy our lives when we lose control of ourselves.

It is sad to say, but many people who become addicted to gambling end up blaming the casino for their losses, even accusing them of being a scam.

The act itself is a threat if not immediately avoided, but this is very difficult for people who are addicted to gambling. People who are deceived are people who have big ambitions to win for the umpteenth time, but without realizing it, successive defeats bring destruction closer. Consecutive defeats made them regret that they had been cheated, but they were deceived by their own hopes that had not been realized.

Every gambler certainly has the hope to win. Even several times the gambler gets his victory. Unfortunately, the hope is not by the gambler's expectations which results in the gambler being dissatisfied and trying to continue to get a bigger win.
What is wrong is the mindset of the gambler himself. A gambler who loses should not then accuse the casino of cheating him. You are right; the gambler himself is deceived by the hopes he created.
The more have big hopes or the expectations that accumulate do not match expectations, the only thing get is heartache, until get into a commotion in  daily life that is not calm because of the effects you have created yourself. However, people who are addicted to gambling will not have a logical mind, they will not be aware of the actions they are doing, the more betting activities there are, the more uncontrollable chaos every day becomes. Basically, gambling is a place for entertainment
Those who gamble are like people who are romantically involved when hopes of great happiness appear at the beginning of the relationship but often these hopes are destroyed in the middle of the love journey  Grin, so is the gambler who has great expectations of winning and even in the end the unrealistic mindset and expectations are often the root of the problem in gambling, the hope of winning big can make someone continue to gamble and even those who win big will also be difficult to stop in pursuit of greed which in the end gamblers are trapped in huge losses that destroy their lives.
It is true that his pleasure made him blind and lost direction in seeing the future, because what was in his mind was still the same. Logically, life has many references to make happy in other ways. as said it is true. But as time goes by, our time will run out on pages that trap us in destruction. life is colorful if we look out wide, don't get caught up in big hopes of winning the bet.

The percentage of winning and loses can not be comparable and majority of those that are losing are more than those that are winning and does that are losing are the once seen gambling but it's not scam and they really need to understand before they start concluding that it's a scam so they need to have understanding if it is already there then there won't be this issue, because there are people that are to greedy and just because of how greedy they are they will keep losing then they will eventually not get any tangible from it when you losing, and when it turns that way it wil Be better for you to just quite so that you don't end up see it as a scam, the earlier the better the participation is reduced to be on a safer side.

Yes, it means that in all things the most important thing and what should be prioritized is a correct understanding of what and how the activity we want to do is actually, because after all, only by understanding and realizing it will we know which is the best decision we should take, so it can be said that those who say that gambling is a scam are people who from the start do not understand that that is the concept of gambling, meaning gambling is about winning and losing and nothing else. So I think it is natural that gamblers lose more often than they win because after all, gambling is not a charity, there is no free lunch, if you want to get money for sure then there is no other way than to work, and those who assume that gambling is a scam just because they often lose are people who want everything instantly and also who do not understand how gambling really is.
Understanding on what gambling is and also at the same time you are dealing up with the right place or the legit ones then you wont really be having those words that you have been scammed on playing gambling. You are the ones who have decided to play and not them, the common behavior of most people is that whenever they do lose up that significant amount of money, they do immediately trying out to tell that they have been scammed or the platform isnt playing fair on which they do really make themselves look like a fool or laughable. Yes, its understandable that frustration and disappointment is there but making up some feedbacks about being a scam then you cant be able to justify out because you are the ones who do make out decision on making up a deposit.

Gambling is really just that for fun and as long you are dealing with a legit site then i dont see any issues with this. If you are dealing on a new website then there's always a tendency about scam on which it will really be that understandable that you should be that mindful too on the things that you've been dealing because at the moment that you cant be able to find yourself making up some research and ending up on a scam website then this is the only time that you've been scammed.

Who wouldn't be happy  in this world if their business made a profit? If I ask you, would you be sad if your business continued to make a profit? The Obvious answers will be, ""yes"".

And we, who play gambling in the online casinos, must keep this in mind when it comes to gambling, but the house always wins. This does not mean that gamblers always book losses and gamblers make profits, but that is one in 1000 people, I don't know, someone mentioned the number of chances of winning in this forum from a survey. And that's why the house always wins in gambling, even if someone hits the jackpot. So we should accept as an entertainment purpose nothings else otherwise we will feel like that it is a scam.
Seriously? The answer to the question you asked is "yes"?
I mean what kind of person has a business that always makes a profit but what he feels is sad, that's ridiculous. The purpose of people building a.
business must have the main goal of making a profit, I don't think there is anyone who has a business and makes a profit and then what he feels is sad. Except maybe with being touched because the business he built has succeeded in running well and can definitely make a profit.

Indeed, the correct assumption is to gamble for the purpose of entertainment only, this is highly recommended because most likely when someone intends to seek profit in gambling it only allows him to get into trouble. In addition, the fact that the house will always win is clear and cannot be disputed.

Gambling isn't a scam,you can't consider your losses on gambling a scam,if it were so how about your wins,don't you think is a scam also.Scam is defined as a dishonest plan for making money or getting an advantage, especially one that involves tricking people-(Cambridge dictionary).A fake casino site with the intention to trick victims can be considered a scam casino site, that's why it's would be very thoughtful for a gambler to look out for what agency that license a casino before depositing his/her hard earn money.It is also important to read reviews about casinos, though individuals are paid to write positive reviews on casinos,so if you're the type that believes reviews easily,you may be at the wrong place and think you're at the right place.
Gamble responsibly and gamble what you can afford to lose,so that you won't view gambling from a wrong perspective.Gambling is meant for fun and a lucky person goes home with a prize so don't get it twisted.

People may call gambling all manners of names, that is not the first of its kind whereby we will be hearing them calling such, but if we never had same experience of that nature with a gambling platform, then we should not join them towards calling with all manners of names, some were there gambling and not seeing it the same way others do, we can't believe in whatsoever thig we have them talk online, until we had the same experience or get convinced after making verifications.

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 depends on your view about what scam is, because for me scam is a trickish way of deceiving people to extort money from them whether directly or indirectly.  But in gambling the case is different because casino or gambling is made in a situation where people will try out their lucky if they can be able to win or not.  Gambling is not a must it is a game of willingness for a person to decide, but not in any way a scam.  It can only be a scam when you lose often than win. Meaning that someone who often lose will see gambling as scam but but not applicable to a person who wins regularly.
In short, we have a choice.
I think that's the problem with other gamblers. They try to blame it all on the online casino but the truth is before we make that bet we think about it first. It's not like something where you invested money and then the owner/developer ran away. The gambling site is still there, you just lost your bet. There's a choice not to gamble at all and that way we will save our money but because we want quick profits we do take the risk and it's called "gambling" for a reason. It's way different from investments where you do expect  something in return when the time is right.

You just need to be practical and accept that reality, we do have the choice and we pick whatever we decide, just like what you've said we treat gambling either source of entertainment or easy access to make money but once we lose our bets we will think differently to the point that we'll accused the site or the casino as a scam, if we do want to save our money best not to use the platform and that's it, if you are unwilling to let go whatever the amount that you'll going to deposit then better not to deposit at all.

People dont understand gambling. When they lose, its a scam. When they win its because they have skills. Nobody cares about luck, random and wants to spend a lot of time on gambling. If gambling was really a scam, nobody would ever win, and casinos would never distribute jackpots. Also people dont understand that they are not only gamblers, nor someone special, that the main prize is only for them, and they get really disappointed every time they lose, when according to their theory, they must have won every bet.
They forgot to understand that you can't win all the time you can't also loss all the time so for me gambling is never a scam because there are people also benefiting from gambling it is when you try to gamble with the amount you can't afford to loss and definitely loss it that is were some gamblers says that gambling is scam it is advisable to always bet or gamble with the amount of money we can afford to loss and we shouldn't also be addicted into gambling let's not also see gambling as a means to make money or a source of income.

I would say that people believe in themselves to much and expect to win every bet. All gambling games look very simple. For adults, all those games like counting 2+2. When they see how all is simplified, and when the lose, they find it hard to understand that. For them it cant be that they have lost, they were way to confident in their victory. So they start to blame everyone and everything in their loss. Notice how only those who have lost complain that gambling is scam. Something uncontrolled might happen, a person might accidentally win due to system bug, or unintentionally been using a method, that turns to be a cheat, and that such person will never confess in scamming. No one has ever said gambling is scam and I became rich by that.

that's true
the thing is that many gamblers are dellusional and have bad math skills
SOME are talented, keep track or everything and are really good on emotion and bankroll management, but these are few,
quite rare to find them.

Oh my, I feel called, but it's not about gambling but about my relationship with my partner where I put too much hope and expectation which in the end of course it hurts when it turns out there is no appropriate reciprocity Cheesy, and your analogy is quite right that this scenario is also almost the same as the scenario that occurs in gambling especially those gamblers who come with too much obsession with winning.

So the point is in my opinion in general there is no other solution than to get used to considering from various sides with a rational point of view and wise thinking before you decide to get involved in something, because that way I think it is unlikely for someone to put unrealistic expectations.

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.

Can we now refer to every gambler that win as a scammer? Oh yes! Casinos will call them scammers because they win and run away with their money.

Op, you should have share the details of your conclusion with us to know what prompted you to such conclusion. Probably, you intend to talk about gambling platforms that scam their users and not gambling itself as a scam. Of course, we can not argue about some casinos involving in fraudulent acts or scamming their users directly or indirectly with shady excuses but gambling itself is not a scam.

It's your hard earned money but you decide to risk it for a bigger amount huh  Grin No one forces you to gamble with your hard earned money in the first place and what about if you end up winning? Will you agree to be addressed as a scammer? Oh yes, I guess because you may be walking away with casinos hard earned money too. It's a balance game and the fact that the gambling is mostly advantageous doesn't make it a scam.
