Topic: Is this a good advice? - page 10. (Read 1258 times)

One opinion I've always maintained in this this gambling thread is that advising a gambler who's not made up his mind to quit gambling is definitely a waste of time because just immediately after the advice, he'll still continue his gambling activities because gambling is an engagement that can't be easily stopped unless the gambler makes up his mind to do so.
Wether a gambler is addicted in gambling or not, I don't think anyone's opinion or advice can make him stop his gambling engagements

Fellow gamblers use those statement to encourage themselves that statement is not a guarantee of hitting any jackpot or close to winning it, of course some gamblers would feel motivated by those words to continue to gamble especially addicted ones they would even make some references of some previous winner who never quit until they hit a jackpot unfortunately that is not true instead that would add more salt to the wound getting more addicted because the chances of winning is very slim especially lottery though if they continue to gamble with what they can afford to lose I believe that is very reasonable.

That is a very well documented and sadly a very popular gambling myth and sadly it is one of the reasons some many gamblers cope with losses, trying to keep playing and wait for that jackpot to appear and change their life.
Actually if that myth had some truth linked to it all gamblers are supposed to do to get their jackpot would be to quit or consider to quit and then gamble again in order to score that huge amount of money.

Stadistically there is no proof gamblers are closer to their big win when they consider to quit their addiction/hobby. It is one of the reasons all gamblers are supposed to have a basic understanding of law of probability.

despite the advice to quit a lot of gamblers though are still up to get that jackpot. they have considered that advice many times but sometimes it is just too tempting to keep betting. especially when you are promoting a casino yourself and your fee goes right in the casino. but if you just keep losing, it's best to just stop and promote the casino. at least you are still making money that way than losing in gambling.  just keep the coin as an investment instead.

That one step closer is a myth and it is part of the gambler's delusions.

One roll to the jackpot does not mean anything. Every roll is unique and hitting the conditions of the jackpot is a one in a million chances. By betting more you are not increasing your oods but only losing more.

At the end of the session you might end up winning the jackpot but at what cost? Maybe losing twice the jackpot trying to chase it?

Hence these type of thoughts need to rationalized but addicted gamblers cannot do that.

That's what addicted gamblers do to deceive themselves. They do use that to motivate themselves. They have the belief that if you don't give up on gambling, you will end up winning a big amount, but I don't think nobody knows when they will hit the jackpot or not. But they keep on believing that if they keep on gambling, then they are going to win, but if they give up, then all the money they have wasted is gone, and they won't be able to get it back in any way, so they do motivate themselves not to give up.

They are trying to set traps for you, the best thing you should do is not listen to them. If you keep on gambling constantly, don't be surprised that you will keep on losing. There is a level when you will find it difficult to quit because you will want to win back your losses, and when you try to win back your losses, then you are already getting everything wrong because addiction is already setting in.

I have a friend who is addicted to gambling, he gambled long before I knew about gambling, there are many challenges he has faced, starting to become interested in stopping gambling, betting once a week and so on is all he wants to do, but till date I don't see him really getting glory in gambling or quit, he continued gambling until now.

As far as I know, everyone who is involved in the world of gambling is always accompanied by luck, if his fate is really lucky on his part he will make real money and wealth for him, unfortunately it only happens to 1-2 people, the rest are a disaster, it is precisely the destruction that they achieve.

Whatever sequence gamblers face, it cannot be separated from luck, whether they receive advice or something else, it is clear that gambling is not something that can be given advice, gambling comes and goes of its own accord.

I'm sure you'll at least be able to get the jackpot you've always wanted but maybe the amount can't be known whether it's big or not too big, but on the other hand what you have to remember is how much money you've lost to get one jackpot? I'm sure you also don't know about that, right? Of course, because the final result is always unpredictable along with the amount.

Basically, even though it is a victory, it is not impossible that the victory cannot cover all the capital you have spent. So actually it is your own money buddy that you have sacrificed to find victory, so therefore do not be too excessive when you get a win if indeed it can not reach break-even. Sometimes the defeat of gamblers can really be treated with just one win, but in fact that amount is still not enough to break even. Therefore we should not overdo the funds chasing victory, there is no point and it is better to gamble for pleasure without expecting too much victory.

Different people have different reasons as to why they are gambling, for some, they are gambling to win the jackpot, and for others, they are just gambling to pass time.

For those who are gambling to win the jackpot, it is possibly true that constant gambling could help increase the gamblers chances of winning that max win they are looking for, someone who really wants gold must keep digging, giving up when you have not found gold simply means you weren't ready in the first place, after all, we all know that nothing good comes easy, even though some people still get lucky and win the jackpot with very little efforts, but for those who are not so lucky, they must keep trying as long as winning the jackpot of the ultimate goal, the only thing I advice is that the gambler should make sure the jackpot is worth the stress.

Hey mate, why did you spoil this famous meme  it's just funny you changed the whole perspective behind the meme, with something as smelly as that. How would someone drop that in a cave, how possible?. However, giving up can be an option. Because sometimes things won't work and the more we try to make it work, the energy invested in it would be wasted. It's also good to go for a break and try something else. It's an example of failing, because others fail. You'd see a group of gamblers following the same procedure. Despite losing out on it, because they know it's what others are doing, giving it a second thought won't cross their mind. Gambling is a free niche, and people are allowed to have different ideas and techniques that'll be favorable to them. Why would a gambler listen to his friends, regarding an advise they aren't comfortable practicing. It's better we follow a skill coined out or devised by us, and take the glory or blame, if it does or doesn't work. Those people advising OP, if they weren't losing more, trying to win big, would they have gotten the chance to talk to him about their strategy? They want him to lose with them, believing it's the only way to hit a jackpot. Gambling technique should be personal. Even the professionals don't really release their strategies to newbies that buy their books. They'll always tell their readers to figure out a way to go about their own skill, as theirs, the professionals, would be hard to understand. Why is it so, because nobody wants to be blamed for the loss of another gambler.

I will never advise my friend or anyone that they are one step closer to winning, because I'm not a fortune letter and I will just pick up a fight if he blames me for telling him these lies, and you should never listen to this kind of people who give you this kind of advice.
Unless they give you, not a loan money to play.

It's your money so you should be the one to decide what's good for you, some people just want to ruin your life and you will know who are and who are not your friends by the advice they give you.
 

Actually it was depend on you,because it depend on the time which you get into the jackpot.If you are new gambler it was sure that it's hard to make the big jackpot at the starting range.So it may be happened if you are the luck gambler and you was liked by the god of gambling.It was undefined game in the gambling,many millionaire became the poor person and the poor person became the billionaire it was only based on your luck in the gambling sites.If the gambler involved in the gambling he should pray for their win to the gambling sites.The gambler also create their own tactics side by the side of the prayer for the big win in the gambling sites.I had many friends who got rich using their involvement to the gambling sites for the couple of years and wait for the big win from the gambling sites.

This is very popular here in our country friend taunts his friends when they've lost and don't want to return or continue playing this is one way to motivate him but unfortunately, it always backfires, I learned my lesson that when playing don't listen to friends when it comes to stopping and continuing

I used to believe this until I got busted a lot, it's a big lesson for me to stop when I feel I should stop

This is so wrong you should be the one to set the time when you want to play and where you want to play, either they hate you or they are ignorant they want you to become addicted and these are the friends not worth keeping.

No, it's a horrible advice. Most likely you just end up losing your money.
Of course there's a change you could make your money back and sometimes you do. That's why that belief exists. Sometimes people played more and got their money back, and you hear about those. You however don't hear as much about those people who lose everything because they tried to make their money back. That's not as catchy rumor, and many people rather tells stories about winning then losing. Especially if they are in denial about gambling.

And if that happens to you (that you needed to play more to get your money back), you easily start to believe that's a thing. Because it's easy way out, and justifies you to gamble more.

Imho anyone in deep loss should take a brake, go jogging or something and try their luck another time. Gambling with adrenaline in your veins rarely brings good results.

Perhaps, that is true because if we really have to clearly understand the meaning of gambling, it is just having a 50/50 chance of winning which we don't have any control. Unlike investment where we can lead its direction to positive results and bigger chances of earning a profit while gambling doesn't offer such a thing aside from getting entertained. As we choose to gamble, we accept the fact that we are doing this to enjoy playing, not with the aim of winning the prize. But somehow, what is on our minds is that we gamble as we hope to multiply our money and become rich instantly.

It's a good decision because you can control yourself despite the intervention from your friend. Even you're a hardcore gambler who use every money you earn (but you can still able to survive and feed yourself), but your friend keep advising to not gamble all of your money, it's not a problem if you don't want to listen to him since life is a choice.

But, there's a chance quitting is the best decision.

I guess it's partially true LOL! Because the more you frequent you gamble the more chances you're hitting the jackpot. However, we all know hitting some jackpots only has very little chances. So, the question here is, is it really worth the try? You might win the Jackpot, but the amount of money accumulated for your losses might just be enough for the Jackpot prizes to reimburse your losses or worse not even enough to take back all your losses or not once you're even winning.
That actually is a devil's whisper, if someone falls for it will most probably end up empty handed.

Basically it all comes back to the way a person thinks, in this case our discussion is on gambling. I mean, every person/gambler has their own mindset and that includes you. everyone thinks according to their limits and abilities, some are like what you said in this thread. Likewise with your way of thinking. The point is, we cannot impose our mindset on someone, unless that someone tries to have a discussion and exchange opinions. Even then, it is not certain that someone will fully accept the opinion or idea that you say. So, it's better to just let them have their own way and you have your own way. Unless someone is a relative or close friend, then you can provide a little understanding. with conditions, without imposing your guidelines in gambling.

Well, I completely agree and agree with the points you said. Gambling is a form of entertainment in today's era, and we need media to carry out gaming sessions by preparing money as a tool. thus, we can play the game we want. For the last point, you should be able to answer it yourself. or, assume with the guidelines that you understand regarding gambling. winning and losing is part of gambling, rich or poor in gambling is also the same. if we are not lucky, it means we cannot be rich.
Anyway, the people who get rich from gambling are only a small portion of the gamblers who end up poor.

Well, if one step out of 100,000+ steps counts then yes.
IIRC, I've read somewhere about a slot machine that after someone wins the jackpot, it takes more than five years to produce the same result again. Imagine how many people play that machine, different people come and go, and there will be only one winner. How much money was burned? how many hours of people wasted? Sometimes the winner is a "happy-go-lucky" guy who only plays for the lol with a $20 budget

The lesson of the above story is that it depends on your LUCK... you can waste your whole life gambling but if luck isn't on your side, you'll never touch the jackpot.

 This is only true to those who are still newbies in gambling. Even myself I have also rely on that advice when I was still very eager to win and very greedy in gambling, until such time that I experienced only huge losses but never gained significant profits. That's when I realized that gambling too much is never good at all. Instead of pushing yourself to win the jackpot prize, you will only end up in deep gambling addiction. And that's the situation that I really want to avoid as much as possible.

The casino house has really no intention to make us win and hit the jackpot prize, no matter how often we gamble. Remember that gambling is a business, and they will only profit if they see us losing. So never take this advice because it will only push you to your limits in gambling, that is losing everything you have and seeing yourself struggle with gambling addiction. If there are instances that you win, its because you got lucky that time but remember your luck only happens once or twice, and after that you will keep on losing again until all the profits has returned to the casino house once again.
