Topic: Is this true or some superstitious believe about gambling? - page 3. (Read 2400 times)

True, it depends on what their goals are in engaging in gambling and also what they want from gambling, and I would say that you have done the right thing, my friend, by preferring to refuse your female friend's request, because if only you agreed to her request with teach him how to gamble then there is a possibility that in the end he will come to you to blame you when one day he experiences bad things in gambling even though basically from the start he was the one who asked to be taught, especially if the goal is to make money.

Sometimes, for example, someone says that he will become a responsible gambler and then asks you to teach him, it doesn't mean it's impossible for him to eventually become an addict, because after all, if we talk about gambling, it doesn't mean it's impossible for a gambler to experience a change in perspective towards gambling, and usually this change in perspective and interest can change when they find something really tempting, such as managing to win a large amount accidentally and obviously this can make them experience an increase in the activity, meaning the goal is to have fun can turn into a goal of making money subconsciously.

On the other hand, yes, I understand what you are saying, that I can guide these people to remain in the right mindset and perspective towards gambling, but I remember one thing here, that in any case it is impossible that I will always be able to supervise them all the time. , I don't want to take risks, therefore I spontaneously prefer to reject them regardless of whether they will gamble responsibly.

The world changed. Online gambling is the new thing, not smoky rooms with guys in suits. You cant hold hands like you used to. We still aid folks. Just get smarter. I educate more than the rules when someone asks me about gambling. I teach life's game. I share the highs, lows, risks, and rewards. I emphasize that winning isnt enough - you must make good decisions. Thats the key to success at a table or in life.

While I cant control who whispers in their ear, I can make my voice the loudest and most honest. Building trust and a community where everyone knows the score is key. Thats how we make online gambling not just fun, but responsible, smart, something you can be proud of.

Not in the era of online gambling. Even if the new player is your roommate you'd be unable to observe him whenever he wants to gamble. Guiding new players only works best in the offline settings. Where the teacher followers the learner any time he chooses to visit the casino. However, not introducing people to gambling doesn't make much changes.

Another person would do that, and it's risky. As they could meet a compulsive player who would channel them towards that angle of gambling. Whenever a person wants to learn something new through me, I tend to talk them about the whole information I've learnt in such activity then watch them behave. On the contrary, are people meant or supposed to meet someone else to teach them how to gamble? I mean it's simple to create an account on any online casino and begin to gamble.

she may have learned something about gambling being able to give you profit either she misunderstood it from you (since she specifically asked you) or heard from it on the internet. it’s good that you told her gambling should not be used for that if someone is going to want ti gamble they should do it because they want to have some fun not because their livelihood is on the line

Well, teaching someone about gambling depends on the primary goal they have in mind. For example, it happened to me that my friend, a female, met me and asked me to teach her how to gamble so that she could make some money from it, but I declined her request and advised her to look for another side hustle that could produce a more sustainable income. But if she had told me that she wants to learn gambling because she wants an activity she can have fun with, I would teach her.

If you teach your friend about gambling, @Dewi Aries,you can as well guide them not to become addicted. 

Yes, your points are clear but we should also know that we don't just give help to anyone without him/her also wanting to be helped. We can't force someone who still enjoys how being addicted probably because of how much profit he makes, giving out this helping hand should be on the basis of the user trying to quit addiction and get involved in games like a normal user would without being carried away.

Even if the person is your relative, it's not even advisable for you to force them to stop gambling. The approach you use might end up even getting them upset.
 
If you try to force them, you might end up pushing them too far. Those who ever want to listen to you and take your advice about their addiction will listen to you even without forcing them, even the ones that won't listen.

Personally, I don't think so, as well, because the gamblers are responsible for their actions. And nothing as such would be affiliated to gambling being made of some superstitious elements. The casino is ran and managed by humans. People who say such things about gambling may have failed in the niche and try to disarm other gamblers with shady words as such.

What people think is between them and it's not relevant to allow ourselves as players to let their words get to us negatively. Provided a gambler has a nice goal, he's meant to focus on it and avoid the opinions of people like the one Op met. Also as players it's our duty to evaluate what people say about the game and conclude if it's acceptable or not.

If you see a Gambling addict and there's any way you can help the person then why won't you, I believe every gambler must have experience this slightly because I believe we all have that greed in us but for some gamblers it tends to be more and worse. I know the horror that comes with gambling and the addiction,it's a feeling I wouldn't even want my enemies to feel.

All decisions depend on the luck factor and never believe in rituals and superstitions related to gambling, such as your explanation that he experienced embarrassing bad luck because he trusted other people's analysis from the ritual side or he trusted other people's analysis which assured him he could win $10k, but he Not thinking about the risk of losing $1 million, he committed a very fatal act of carelessness in betting because of the greed factor of wanting to win less than his betting capital. I think the facts above are a reminder for anyone to limit the allocation of funds for betting and don't be greedy in chasing uncertain wins, gamble wisely and be careful in determining the bet amount.

Instead on making yourself be minding about on different behaviors or whatever belief that you do have in mind, it would really be just that be best that you would really be rather focusing up
on how to make that control when it comes to spending money towards gambling. Never ever make yourself go beyond your limits when it comes to finances because on the moment that you do
have that kind of approach towards gambling then sooner or later you would really be finding yourself on a tough situation and this could really be leading out with those huge potential problems
that will really be giving out that kind of regret that you shouldnt have done that.  Superstitions do comes neither on your own personal beliefs or something that you have learnt from others.

You should really make yourself that realize that there's no such thing that could affect out your luck rate and with this then you wont really be finding yourself having
any issues with gambling because of those realizations.

When we gamble, most of the time we make decisions based on emotions, especially when we are in a losing position.
Regarding controling our delusional mind when we gamble to avoid addiction, I can say its easy in theory but difficult in practice, depending on the situation and conditions we face at that time.
Strict money management is the best way to avoid gambling addiction, and I think controlling our delusional mind is more appropriate for those who want to stop gambling.

Yes, that's good, or what it means is that advising other people, especially those closest to us such as friends who are also gamblers, to implement responsibility within themselves is the best advice, however, responsibility is something very important that a gambler must have, none other than because If they have responsibility, they will be able to avoid various impulsive actions that they might take, especially when they are in a losing situation, which will indirectly lead them to the possibility of a greater disaster.

On the other hand, if it is true that you have succeeded in getting other people, especially gamblers you know, to gamble in the right way, then yes of course that is a good action, friend, simply put, you have saved them from possible bad impacts, and for myself to be honest 2 Last week one of my friends asked me to teach him how to gamble, especially how to make deposits and withdrawals, but of course spontaneously I immediately forbade him and didn't teach him anything related to gambling, regardless of whether, for example, he would gamble responsibly, because that doesn't mean he doesn't. it's possible that he could eventually become an impulsive gambler without realizing it as time goes by.

Controlling the brain is actually very hard to do, but what I want you to understand is that in any situation in this life, you most likely have a decision to make, and if others can control their brains, then why won’t you ask yourself this question: Why can you do that?
 
If you keep telling yourself that such things are hard to accomplish, then you will never have the courage to do them because when you rely on hope and luck, sometimes you will suffer a long way because instead of making a good decision, you end up waiting to see what will happen. So I will encourage you to always believe in yourself and keep in mind that you will be able to do it.

For me I don't see any connection between gambling and demonic manipulation, well one thing I realized about most people is that whenever they dislike something they always look for every angle to convince people that is not good to venture into gambling, in as much as gambling has an influence on people but I seriously doubt if there is any demon in it that always cloud the judgement of people into aggressive gambling.

Though I wouldn't blame him because most people because of religious beliefs sees gambling as a sin, but for me I don't believe on such thing because if gambling should be a sin that means indirectly sports would be regarded as a sin because is from sports gambling is derived, so anybody that told you gambling is a sin he is obviously getting it all wrong but however I would have actually believe the guy if he had say that gambling has affected many people negatively.

The outcomes of sports bets are never certain too. You can't guess it right, with a ritual or without it. I remember couple of years ago a guy bet one million on a team that should certainly win according to bettors and that's why the odds were 1.01. Since the probability of that team winning was 99%, that guy placed a bet of $1 million to "certainly"(as he was thinking) win around $10k. But in the end he lost his bet, he lost his one million. Those who believe in superstitions would think he was cursed or something, but in reality he just lost his bet because of bad luck.

           -   I think that really depends on the person's belief, in my opinion, especially if you are a religious person. You will think for sure that this is a devilish thing that Satan uses to get people addicted to gambling that will not bring anything good to the majority.

But for others, it is always a blessing because they may experience winning here, and it also gives them enjoyment, especially when they are going through trials that can
bring them emotional relief.

I think that people who believe in the power of various amulets and other things don’t even need to try to convince them because it’s their choice and they like to believe in something supernatural. I hope that such people will not play often and not lose a lot, then why not, because if they lose a lot, testing the power of a new amulet every time, then this will no longer turn into a game into something else. Because in any case, there will be situations when he wins and gives the next amulet greater priority and will tell everyone that now he will start to get lucky and he will get rich on bets. It will look like complete nonsense.

Lol the thought of having to control our delusion is a funny thing but actually a harder thing to do.

We can be aware of our delusions but sometimes we cannot control our brain and hope blooms in our lives. Especially when we are in a tight situation in our life. Hope is what will keep us to keep going.

The only strategy to avoid becoming addicted to gambling is to know how to control your delusional mind. If you can control that, I don’t think you will feel any signs of greediness that will make you feel like it is your responsibility to win any bet that you put in and will make you accept the fact that even if you lose, you won’t continue playing. This won’t make you addicted to gambling, but if you can’t control your decision-making, I don’t think you will be free from the treat of addiction. because if you can’t control your gambling decisions, you will definitely fall victim to such issues. Moreover, by making a budget and sticking to it, or by seeing a gambling therapist, you might find it easy not to be addicted.
