I have never heard advice like that but in trading, I found this a lot especially in Instagram ads when you watch reels. I mean if there is any advice like that please dont believe only do gamble what you can afford to lose only.

most of the gambling site using verifiable hash or pure system so when you win it just pure luck there is still a probability or chance you gonna jackpot in next time you deposit but those are small margin in my opinion

I think that budgeting is easy. Anyone can write a budget or even have it mentally but the real deal is in sticking to it. As gamblers there are times where we must have gone a bit above our budget because we were so sure that if we default a little we can recover when we win but boy we were wrong.

For gambling budgets, to avoid defaulting, it shouldn't be too tight. Something that can be adjusted from time to time. So that even if you at a time go above the budget, your bankroll will still not be affected.
It is better to always stick to the initial plan, if a budget was initially drawn up, then you need to stick to it, if you know that you can spend some amount without damage, then do not exceed it in any case. One day my friend got a job working on slot machines, and despite they were forbidden to play, she sometimes played after work, one day she noticed that one machine was not giving out winnings for too long and she lost all the money she received for her salary because she expected that she would be able to get the winnings, it was great stupidity.
Although we say gambling depends on luck but in some cases it is possible to win gambling with your own skill. For example, when we place bets on sports betting, we engage in betting with efficient analysis. Because we know which of the two teams is stronger. We bet with the team that is stronger and at the end of the game we can see that we won the bet. But your friend is really so stupid that he used the slot machine to gamble. The slot game is completely based on luck, whoever has the best luck can win the slot once or twice. I have seen most people lose in slot games. Finally, I would like to say that in betting, a certain amount should be formed so that losing that amount is not a problem. Taking the full share of earnings in betting is completely stupid and a sign of gambling addiction.

One of em told me that this is why I don't win, that I only gamble when I feel like, he said constantly gambling is a must if you want to win, but I disagree, because I have seen too many people not knowing when to quit until it was too late.

To me, gambling is a theater, a form of entertainment that I pay for, not a way to get rich quick, for them it's a must to win by force, one question seem to change his mood though.

Some may give free advice but not all advice is good advice. I disagree with those who expect jackpots or big wins just by consistently gambling. Here continuous gambling is not guaranteed to win but taking a break from gambling can give a gambler time to make the right decision. He may get an opportunity to consider the pros and cons. Those who continue to gamble are more likely to become addicted. And we cannot imagine addicted gamblers as successful gamblers. Moreover, if someone tries to gamble thinking of getting something specific from gambling, such as a jackpot, then that dream is more likely to go in vain.

Although all suggestions are shown or lead to something better but on the other hand it always depends on everyone's point of view, if for you it is good then not necessarily for others it will be good, some conditions and circumstances may be the difference. Of course, if you put your hopes on gambling then usually the opposite will happen, instead of getting the jackpot that they are always chasing but what happens is that they keep losing and they don't realize it, why? because their hopes are greater and always put faith in something that has absolutely no certainty and guarantee whether you will be able to get a jackpot like that or not.

I'm sure I think the number of your losses if calculated will be greater than the winnings you get and you should be aware of that. The more you try the closer you get to the addiction zone, so any limits are important here, and you can get better if you can come to the realization that gambling is not a place to put your hopes.

A few days ago I saw a thread that talked about people who play games at work and I said that at work there are cameras in every corner and those cameras are there to monitor employees, that's why a person would be playing games at work during working hours. So this person wants to be fired because the cameras record everything that company employees do. The funny thing is that even in cases where a person works in a physical casino, that person still won't be able to play in the same physical casino where they are a collaborator, and in the physical casino there are also cameras in every corner

now also taking money from wages to keep gambling, this type of behavior will only lead the person to have a lot of debt and consequently commit suicide. The salary is something that the person receives once a month, then they run out of money for many days, which leads people to take out loans, and when the person gambles a lot, they will spend all their salary and then start to incur many debts that exceed the value of the salary and there will be no way to pay the loan. as these people who lend money are most of the time people who have violent behavior who are capable of committing murder crimes to get their money back

so the person who took out the loan starts to get scared because he doesn't know how he's going to get the money to repay the loan and the guy who gave him the loan starts to make threats to him, so suicide becomes the only way out for the person who made it. the loan. I've always said that it's best for people to avoid playing with money from their salary until they've paid all their bills and that they should never take out a loan to gamble. If you see any of your friends taking out a loan or playing with money from their salary, then warn them about the danger they are in.

If all gamblers were like you, they would look at casinos like a theater, like a place of entertainment. For sure, there would be no addicted gambler, and no gambler would be greedy for money either. It's just that there are still others who can't help but look at gambling as a job where they can get a fixed income.

Something that is very difficult to believe and hold is a source of income. Gamblers who are careless with themselves in terms of betting on slots or other games will never really lose. But as long as possible, let's do it as a hobby.

True and of course a healthy mindset in approaching gambling will keep you fine, will not experience bad things like other people who are already addicted, if indeed you have a healthy mindset then you will be able to feel the benefits of real gambling, which is quite useful for you to restore your mood when stressed due to other things or fill your empty time when off work.

But unfortunately I think lately more people are looking at gambling as a place of income as you said, such a mindset and purpose is really not recommended because there are dangers that threaten or even always wait for you there. The logic is that if gambling can provide you or them with a steady income then why do you even experience more frequent losses than wins, isn't that a ridiculous mindset? of course, there is a lot of strong evidence that can be used as a reason why gambling should not be used as a place to earn.
Gambling might be a stress-buster or a leisure pastime, but the idea that it can be tackled with a 'healthy mindset' is ignorant. Despite its complexity, the brain doesn't always distinguish leisure from addiction when dopamine, the feel-good neurotransmitter, is present. Gambling's seduction is underestimated by the idea that one can always control it. Not only is discipline important, but gambling's addictive structure is too. That gambling can be helpful if done right is like claiming one can play with fire without getting burned. The truth is that the house always wins and the players usually lose money and mental peace The idea that gambling for revenue is a ridiculous mindset is accurate, yet it hardly scratches the surface. Gambling exploits cognitive errors such the gambler's fallacy, confirmation bias, and the illusion of control. Make no mistake - gambling is designed to be addictive and profitable for casinos, not players. Wins are merely part of the draw, drawing participants into a cycle where losses are more frequent and significant. There's more to this than weak logic - a skillfully planned system that exploits human nature for profit

Certainly, seeing gambling as a fun activity is a good idea; it does provide a break from everyday life. But the change from a fun activity to something that could bring in money is not without risks. Why? The unpredictable nature of gambling and the fact that there is always a house edge go against the idea of a steady income. Statistically, it is more likely that you will lose money regularly than to make money. This difference between having fun and being financially dependent is where the danger is.

Gmbling should be fun, not a way to make money. People can get lost in the enticement of the chance to win, which can lead destruction. There should be a clear line between gambling for fun and gambling as a way to make money. Finding the right mix means enjoying the adrenaline without losing touch with the real world. What is the key? Self-awareness and responsible play.

Gambling is not like trading that the more you practice trading in the market, the more you become skillful and gain higher chances to make successful trades. Instead, the more money you decide to bet, the bigger the amount of losses mostly in return. Gambling is certainly based on luck, so if luck does not favor you the time you gamble, then expect series of losses. When it happens, better to leave the casino immediately, otherwise all your money will be used up and go home with an empty pocket.

So I don't see this as a good and reliable advice. Although some may be lucky enough to win big in their last bet, but most of the time gamblers only lose their last penny before they decide to go home.

I agree with what you said, gambling is really based on luck, if the luck you are looking for does not favor you, your money will really run out if you do not control yourself in gambling. It is well known that sometimes there is a game that will really favor you, if you feel that the game is in your favor and you have a budget and what you are betting on you can afford to lose then go. That's why it's called gambling because we don't know if we'll win and we rely on luck, if you lose then stop if you win, that's okay. As long as you're having fun playing it, don't lose control of yourself so you don't go home in tears.

That applies mainly to slot gambling, if for poker and sports betting experience and skill can also ensure to get a win even though it comes down to luck too. Slot gambling that prioritizes luck is true, I also agree with that, because there is no need for good skills in doing this gambling, it's just about how luck will listen, if they lose in the sense that luck is not on their side, and vice versa if they win it means that luck is on their side.

Luck, which has a major role in this gambling, is something that is difficult to find and impossible to guess easily, so this gambling depends on luck.

Not unless if you are playing with those strategic ones like sports betting and poker then i could say that experience does count, but if you are dealing with something like luck based
then it wont really be something that will really be that ideal or something a good idea for you to deal with.Is this a good advise? It would really be that entirely depending
on how well you are really that doing or dealing with gambling because if you do find yourself that too desperate then this is where things turns out to be shit.
Play for fun and never ever make yourself trying to chase up your losses or even chase up on becoming rich with gambling.

Well your statement is very precise and makes sense, this is gambling and not something you can learn to get an improvement whether in terms of results or skills you have, everything always repeats from the beginning if the session you do is over, and if you try again with a new session then your fate will also be different again between winning and losing, but usually there will be more losses than wins because it has become a provision of the casino. One of the reasons that makes gamblers lose more often than win is that gambling is not intended to produce but only activities for entertainment and filling empty time without expecting anything, especially victory.

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that, but I'm sure you're going to be able to do it, and I'm sure you're going to be able to do it, and I'm sure you're going to be able to do it, and I'm sure you're going to be able to do it. Therefore, don't get your hopes up because the more you try, the more money you will lose.

I keep seeing gamblers advising themselves that you are one step closer to winning the jackpot when you quit too early,  it's sad that they strongly believe this.

Is this true?

This advice is actually making gamblers believe that they can win when they spend a lot of more time in the casino, they strongly believe that not stopping or taking break will bring them closer to their jackpot.

One of em told me that this is why I don't win, that I only gamble when I feel like, he said constantly gambling is a must if you want to win, but I disagree, because I have seen too many people not knowing when to quit until it was too late.

To me, gambling is a theater, a form of entertainment that I pay for, not a way to get rich quick, for them it's a must to win by force, one question seem to change his mood though.

I asked him why he isn't rich yet if he is actively gambling everytime since all this while, this changed his mood and I took a turn.



Well, technically.... If they keep going, they do increase their chances of winning the jackpot. But that is from a mathematical perspective.

But one has to ask themselves; is it worth increasing your chances with such a manual attempt? And if you know the odds of winning the jackpot, you will understand why it does not make a noticeable difference. The odds of winning are too low, so even if you keep adding on, all you do is improve your miniscule odds by a miniscule amount.

Its like buying more tickets for a lottery. Buying more tickets has never proven to be a way to win the jackpot either. The winnings odds are too small for more tickets to make a difference.
In the past few gamblers have learnt the scripts and won jackpots. Those are difficult to achieve, and that way few have beaten the casino. Nowadays things were quite complex and it isn't easy to beat the casino. Luck is the only thing that could win a jackpot. As said continued gambling increase the winning probability, but the same doesn't assure a big win.

As said more tickets at times help with the winning. I've seen this happening in the weekly raffle on different gambling platforms. Users with few tickets can be seen on the list, whereas majority used to be the one with more number of tickets.

In terms of probability and statistics, things are pretty good when not many tickets are bought, but when there are so many tickets, the more you buy the chances increase, but this has a lot to do with what they can do, but this is like those raffles, Those lotteries that are always bought but do not give many profits, I could think that the more lottery Tickets are bought the better, or the more numbers are purchased in general sense for a particular lottery they will always give better profits, but laro Now we do other types of things, we always apply good luck to porbalbities, to lotteries of trying to guess what numbers can come out, in this order of ideas is where many things are born, many sayings, and above all the people who They Always play a number of lotteries to See if they win, which I don't see as being so Comfortable or very Profitable , I would see this as an option where you can win but with low odds.

People who play lotteries a lot , a specific number or something like that, well, that's a whole thing, but when we see that things are not as we wish, it can be said that they can be very good, but when it is a difficult Lottery to win, for example as I have said in other threads, when it is a rigdfa where you win with a series of 4 digits, how would you do it? If things are quite hard, it is very difficult to Win like that, the psoibladiides get lower and lower, and that is Something that I always bear in mind, so as a player like that you have a lot of faith, you have to know what is credible, and achievable, not what the emoines of every day only buy a possible winning ticket, because that is what lotteries come from with almost zero possibilities by players who give money every day to see if they can win, that is something that We see a great chance that it will happen , but since Everything is random it is difficult to win.

We all know that there are two types of gambling, one is chance-based game and the other one is skill-based.  In chance-based games, what you stated is applicable, since the gambling experience in chance or luck-based games cannot give us skills that can make our chance of winning higher.  While the skill-based game can make us learn and develop strategies and understanding that will enable us to enhance our chance of winnings.

So I don't see this as a good and reliable advice. Although some may be lucky enough to win big in their last bet, but most of the time gamblers only lose their last penny before they decide to go home.

I also agree with you what best in this situation is to know when to stop and try again another day.  We should identify if luck is with our side and if we feel that it is not, then we better stop or else we will just get our bankroll empty.

But one has to ask themselves; is it worth increasing your chances with such a manual attempt? And if you know the odds of winning the jackpot, you will understand why it does not make a noticeable difference. The odds of winning are too low, so even if you keep adding on, all you do is improve your miniscule odds by a miniscule amount.

Its like buying more tickets for a lottery. Buying more tickets has never proven to be a way to win the jackpot either. The winnings odds are too small for more tickets to make a difference.

The thing with having a gambling budget is the ability to stay in line with the budgeted amount without going beyond that, the fact that you have large balance deposits, let's say $200 which is the budget for at least one week of play time if you in day 1 of the deposit is not grounded enough you will be tempted to go beyond your budget because the availability of the balance will become a motivation to what you stand to use and if not well disciplined you may be tempted to go beyond that amount let say you divide the $200 base on the daily usage of 20% for each day which if it one week it will amount to around $20 each day.
But it will be really hard to be able to follow such principle or budgetary systems, but based on the actual factor that greed may have a better part of your decision making and that also could be motivated by your available balance, so what I do personally is to deposit daily amount instead making a one time weekly deposits, this way, I avoid the temptation to go beyond that budget when I am at lost because I will be out of balance to continue playing.
I think that budgeting is easy. Anyone can write a budget or even have it mentally but the real deal is in sticking to it. As gamblers there are times where we must have gone a bit above our budget because we were so sure that if we default a little we can recover when we win but boy we were wrong.

For gambling budgets, to avoid defaulting, it shouldn't be too tight. Something that can be adjusted from time to time. So that even if you at a time go above the budget, your bankroll will still not be affected.
