Topic: Is this how it start? (No or yes?) (Read 756 times)

Here you have to understand something and take it as a lesson, in every game in a casino that is its own game we will always have the option of losing, and it is only safer, why? because the casino has something called the advantage of the house and that can be very determining in giving a good win to every player, in all casinos this will always exist, since it is their way of winning, that is why it was born the way of saying, "The house always wins" and if we look at it it is something logical because whenever we are doing anything in any case we must keep that in mind, and in every thread that I can say I reaffirm it, because many people in the casino think that it can become a means of making money as a job or as an income, then in view of these things we can say it with complete certainty, because it is the way that the casino has to win, and it has also been seen There is so much experience here in the forum, that they fail when that advantage is taken away from them, because they fail.

So when people are in a casino before entering they should take into account all those things, it may sound silly, but we cannot be above the cases nor can we beat the cases, it is something impossible because the casinos are programmed like this, no matter how good we are in our game we cannot win, what we can do is have strokes of luck that must be taken advantage of, that is why there are so many people who sometimes publish in the children of casinos that they have earned many millions , and the way in which it was played and won, and this happens more than anything in the slots, which is the casino game where with little money you can win a lot, now with a lot of money you can win a lot, and that the Sports betting is another level because everything comes into play that is related to being able to generate money knowingly and those who know have to do everything to take advantage of their knowledge to turn it into mere money.

What you feel is dissatisfaction with the game you are playing, so you think about making another deposit and continuing the game.
I cannot judge this situation as a form of gambling addiction. but you should limit or control your finances when playing. This may be a bad start for you if you don't realize it.
If you keep losing in one game, try another game. but indeed defeat can pump up our adrenaline to seek satisfaction and curiosity to win. but almost all gamblers feel that way.

She had unconsciously deposited the money and used it to gamble. This may be a common occurrence for gamblers who have lost money the first time they deposit their money, so they deposit another amount of money and continue gambling. Perhaps it was an early sign that she was addicted to gambling, so she deposited her money unconsciously, but instead, she lost all his money. If she doesn't immediately realize that this can happen repeatedly, maybe she can later deposit more money, and it happens without her realizing it. It is best for her to immediately stop gambling for a while and check whether she experiences a strong urge to gamble again or not. If so, there is a possibility that she is already addicted to gambling or she is still unaware of it.

We can’t blame her since probably she is not into gambling much while she just tested it out of curiosity. I once like this when I’m just on experimental stage on playing blackjack. I lose few dollars yet I feel like it’s a big deal since I’m not into gambling that much. Any amount of money will make someone overthink when they lose it if they are not prepared or use to gambling consequences.

This is why I try to calm her down since she is just experiencing some minor questioning about his action since it’s a new territory experience for her to lose that kind of money especially is she is not losing a lot in the past.

If anything I think the OP is worrying too much after losing such a small amount of money, the fact they are on guard about what happened is a good sign, but to worry about being addicted after something that just happened once and that it could have happened to anyone is not correct either, as then the OP will be unable to enjoy their time gambling as they will always have on the back of their mind the thought that maybe they are becoming addicted to it, even if I do not think this is the case at all.

I have never funded my casino account and lost the whole balance without a single I don't know maybe it is because my first aim is to gamble profitably.
I calculated the best way to split the funds that would make me spend more time on the game than focus on betting big in other to have a huge win. This could be the reason for what happened to you or you're playing a game that doesn't suit you. I said that cause there are particular I always play whenever I see that I haven't won any of my bets.

Yeah, that's the start.

And since you know that you're about to start a habit that might turn into your problem, then try to do something first so that you won't end up with a bad habit.

So, if you think that you're not yet addicted and you're coming to this point that you're going to be the same as the other addicted gamblers. Do yourself a favor to limit yourself from now on.

Because this habit might give yourself pleasure that you don't notice that you're going to be severely addicted gambling.

Well, technically, yes, that does signal that you are in the verge of becoming a gambling addict, but, only if you continue doing that and don't stop yourself right now. You are aware that gambling addiction is a bad thing, you also know that you shouldn't have lost the money that you've lost, which means that you are self-aware and that is an important for a gambler to have to keep them stay away from getting addicted. That's why, you should start being careful from now so that you don't have to get into a mess later on.

You are lucky because you have this awareness because most people who get into gambling at the initial stage basically lack self-awareness and self-control to actually be able to control themselves when they are slowly venturing into the realm of gambling addiction which is why they can't stop themselves on times.

In most cases, this is a common problem for almost all gamblers. the reasons will be very varied, and don't have to be the same specific. Regarding addiction or not, we cannot say for sure. The problem is, we don't know your gambling activities and habits. But let's just say, in this case that you are talking about in this thread without realizing it, you made another deposit and then you were surprised, why could it be like this. Maybe, you don't realize it, subconsciously you almost got a good hit. then, you try it a second time. or you consciously want to try a second time, because you seem to be enjoying the game session and the feeling tells you that you are close to getting a good shot.
as I said, cases like this are very common and the reasons are very varied. Whether you are addicted or not, you yourself know for sure about your gambling activities.

Well, in my case, this is not a strange or rare problem. I mean, if in the first session I lose, there is the possibility of making a re-deposit. However, it depends on the situation, conditions and what game I play. I took an example, when I played a slot game and lost in a very short time. most likely, I will re-deposit a second time. but usually, I'll try another game. if the results are the same. there is no other choice but to stop. I would rather consider it, a bad day for me. In football, the problem is different. it could be that I bet on one match by betting my bankroll. and if I lose and there are still several other good matches to bet on, I can make a deposit again. but in the case of sports, this rarely happens. if games, slots and so on are not something foreign. The point is, losing and winning is a normal thing in gambling and we are well aware of the risks. The most important thing, remember, there are limits that we must apply to prevent, again and again, making deposits which ultimately leads to chasing losses.

I thought you said you funded your betting account just to have fun? So why worry about losing, because while gambling you ought to have known that it is a 50/50% chance for you to either win or lose a game, and as such you ought not to have gambled with an amount you aren't willing to afford losing.

With this action as explained by you above, it's a clear sign that at that moment, you allowed yourself got carried away while gambling after your first loss, which ignited you to deposit the second fund and third time with the mindset to recover your lost fund, while forgetting the fact that in gambling it is a 50% chance, as you could either win or lose your fund.

You are becoming an addict? No! You are just excited on gambling because you will never stop yourself or think that you are already addicted if you are addicted.

I have worst experience than yours during my newbie days. I stop gambling with 500$ profit on my balance then I go to sleep. I woke up 3am in early morning just because I’m excited to win more. Guess what happened? I lose everything including my bankroll and profit by playing few high wager bets. I can’t believe that time what happened and hoping it was just a dream.  

It’s not an addiction but rather just an excitement probably when you are new. If you still feel fear whenever you are losing even small amount then your not addicted.  

That you funded your betting account two times in a day does not mean you are becoming addicted to gambling, the possible reason for your actions is probably due to anxiousness, which might be as a result of the money you deposited at first and lost, you probably wanted to chase after that loss to see if you will recover it, (which is a bad gambling habit in the first place) but unfortunately, you lost again.

Happy that you came back to your self on time, there are some gamblers who through this same means will end up losing all the single penny they had saved.

And yeah, doing this a couple of times does not lead to addiction, or does it appear to be a sign of addiction, it is the continuity in doing it that actually leads to addiction.

Yes you are becoming a gambling addict. That is an early sign and I kid you not. In the gambling community we call it chasing losses. One of the first things you did wrong was to gamble at a time you didn't allocate for it. Started without any plan. You were idle or bored and wanted to kill some time. You see, no strategy, no budget in place. While it is true that you may have used money you could afford to lose but you chased your loss.

A popular song lyrics goes thus- check yourself before you reck yourself.

This could be the start if you think differently, but if you really want just to have fun then probably this is part of that having fun.
Losing that small money might not be a big deal to many, but this is where addiction begins where the small things are being disregarded until it get worst.
Don't gamble without setting your limit regardless of your purpose because this will remind you to stay responsible and don't over spend.

Your words sound like regret after knowing the facts that happened after you funded your betting account. Incidents like this happen very often, in fact someone has experienced the same incident over and over again more than twice. Aren't there only two possibilities in gambling, if you don't win, you definitely lose.
I don't want to guess or speculate about your actions in funding your betting account more than once, the motivation of wanting to win is certainly behind these actions. No one knows for sure the final result, if you are not ready to accept defeat, never try to fund a betting account.

feeling you are experiencing is one of the early signs of a gambling addiction and to be honest, I have experienced this when I almost became a crazy gambler betting on poker and roulette games. I felt my mind was not calm and restless, but when I went to gamble, my heart comfortable and after losing I felt sorry for not accepting it and while sleeping I dreamed that I was betting on getting a big win.

If you experience this, it would be better for you to immediately look for alternative outlets so as not to indulge too deeply in your initial passion for addiction before things get worse. remember mate, gambling will never give you winnings unless you have lost all your money and the winnings will not be equivalent to your losses. I hope you can understand my advice slowly.

This fies not mean you are an addict or becoming one. You are just bored and needed something to keep you busy. It happens and you are not alone in that. Not winning any money from the games does not mean anything at all.

The important question is: did you funded what you cannot afford to loose? Was it painful to you loosing that much? If the answer is yes, then you need to work on yourself but if the answer is no, then there is no problem. Just make sure you don't make it a habit of funding when you loose and so one else you will have your budget over stretched

If you weren't comfortable sitting, then why not try to lay down? But I think what you really mean is you are not yet contented on watching TV. Well that was true sometimes because there are commercials in between, and then the shows in it are most of the times in repeat only. This is why I don't watch TV anymore.

I am sorry for me to say this but your suspicions could be right, that you are going on that path you are being afraid of. Good thing that you realized it early. I hope you already know if what you can do to return on the right path again. That's it, just forget your losses that time, and try to return on your comfort bets. Also accept if you lose, so that you won't ever plan on avenging it.

Unless this happens often to you I would not worry too much, a person can have a few moments in which they are not thinking clearly and take some bad decisions, and losing 20 dollars in a single day is probably one of the smallest mistakes I have ever seen someone committing when they gamble, so while it is important to remain on guard against any sign that could indicate that you are losing control of yourself when you gamble, it would be a mistake to exaggerate and blow things out of proportion.

Not yet but if you keep doing this, it will lead to that situation. Now, you better think about what is good for you and what will be the impact of being alone...If I were you, as early as possible you must know how to control your gambling habit, don't wait to fall into addiction. Of course, you can still gamble as it was not harmful to us but be sure that you set limits. What goes wrong is if we gamble too much and compromise our finances but if we are still able to manage it, well, it is just fun and entertainment.
