If the question is which more people gamble without applying limits and controls with people who have limits and are able to control their gambling activities then maybe I will agree with the opinion of everyone here that most gamblers are involved without being able to control their gambling activities but they are the ones who are controlled by gambling in the record of treating gambling in a way that is not recommended. On the other hand I am not saying that there are no gamblers who are able to control their gambling but it is probably very rare for people to be able to do that because most of them are too focused on the chances of winning that they even go to the extent of justifying all means to pursue something that basically does not have any certainty and guarantee.
Like what you said about some people going to the casino where they come only for a few times and not to spend all the money they have, and this is the approach to healthy gambling where there is no element of excess. The point is that if the gambler is able to control the gambling activity properly and knows when to paddle and when to stop then it is those who are able to control their gambling properly or can also be called responsible gamblers. But on the other hand yes even if they are responsible it will not be able to completely rule out them from bad possibilities such as addiction over time, we don't know.
Gambling is the perfect test to establish your worth if done appropriately. Now I've seen weak ones fall. They think putting everything at the table and praying brings luck. A terrible calamity. The real winners - worth talking about - understand strategy and controlled risk.
Gambling is a control issue. You decide when to bet and when to quit. Amateurs who cant manage that will fail. Winners are different. Knowing yourself, your boundaries, and playing long-term is key. Like the best negotiators, sealing huge agreements takes skill, not luck.
The addiction factor exists. No sugarcoating - its risky. Can you manage the pressure and enormous stakes without losing your mind? That distinguishes winners from losers. Responsible gambling, sensible choices, and quitting while ahead are key. The game is hard, but thats the fun - proving you're in charge.
Houses usually have an edge. Simply put, it is. However, the smartest players use knowledge and discipline to reduce luck. Instead of being greedy, they research the odds. They deserve to win since they worked. You can respect and build on that win. Remember, winning is about doing so on your terms and with dignity.
Yes exactly, gambling is a matter of control and not always about winning, it's like a test of training yourself on how disciplined you are in terms of managing and controlling all actions on gambling activities that you do, and what should be in your mind is to believe that victory will always be there and you will be able to get it with a note "if you are lucky" and in addition to that what really should be more concerned is "managing risk", victory is "possible" but defeat is "certain".
Most gamblers are so focused on the chance of "doubling up" that they overlook the possibility of losing when in fact it is the possibility of losing that will happen more often because gambling is not a place to earn, and because they are too focused on the chances of winning that they only think of various ways to be able to continue "rowing" without thinking about how to "pull over" at the right time, and if you are too excessive in terms of chasing something that is not always "provided" I think it is certain that you will more often than not end everything with regret.
Managing the significant pressures of excessive gambling without losing your head or thinking properly is rare, and in fact most gamblers push the situation even further with uncontrollable emotions or mistakes, and it's the addiction phase that makes it difficult to keep things under control.
Yes the house always has the upper hand and the advantage is actually on their side, and this is the reason why losses are more common than wins, casinos hide behind "winning opportunities" that most gamblers flock to try to take advantage of, but however it is a big mistake that the actual seriousness and hope applied to something that has no certainty will only end up with more regret. The disciplined and smart ones are the real winners, and managing to double the money you're carrying doesn't always mean victory, but if you look at it from the other side then you can also see that drawing the line as quickly as possible without "losing" anything can also mean victory because you were able to get out of a potentially dangerous situation.
