Topic: Lack of proper knowledge on casino games increases chance of loss and reduce fun - page 6. (Read 1112 times)

In as much as I don't like the way OP was desperate to win from a game he has no idea about, I think you are too harsh on his choice. Many people here will say they gamble for fun but we know what the drill is all about, it's about making the bag from casino. No two ways about it but saying gambling for fun is to make people feel you aren't desperate to win but the reality is that nobody want to lose money to any company, even he casino doesn't want you to win, that's how how dedicated we all want to get money from each other through gambling.


Well well, just as I said, as an individual there is personality beneath our mind and what we want. There are days I gamble with small amount of money and some big amount of money and this depend on how I feel and the money available to stake. I think since the beginning of weekend, I have try long and short shots on EPL and some random leagues and in fact, only short shots gave me something and I guess what, I stake them with little money and the ones I gamble with big money didn't come as I expected, this is the life of gambling but regardless we continue..

before playing, it is a good idea for a gambler to know how the game they are playing works. there are many platforms they can use such as youtube, google, etc, to find out tips and tricks for playing the game. as gamblers become more knowledgeable about the games they play, their potential for losing will be slightly reduced, especially in table and card games, which require skill, knowing the flow of the game and the necessary tricks is very important so that players can win.

Yes, that's right, in card gambling games, of course you have to have skills that will increase your chances of winning, even though in the end it also comes down to luck. In my opinion, card games or poker are games that use mathematics as their core, and this makes this game require skills that must be possessed in order to win or increase the chances of winning, as I have said,  of course this game cannot be played by everyone, because the skills that must be possessed are a condition for being able to play, but are not a requirement for But in my opinion, card gambling has its own requirements, namely the skills that must be possessed. Meanwhile, for slot gambling or other things, it is true that what you said does not require any tricks or skills, because this is a luck-based game, and in my opinion, with this game, luck has the main role in determining whether you win or not. Many people play slot gambling because it is simple to play and does not require us to have good skills in playing slot gambling, we just have to wait for luck to be on our side to win.

What the OP is referring to is a person's ignorance of how one of the games like Roulette works which can actually make the possibility of losing greater or closer to reality, and not about not understanding the risks involved in gambling as a whole, because what I caught from the statement is more referring to not knowing how to play, so for the problem of the risks involved in gambling I think the OP has understood that from the beginning, but he was too desperate to try something he had never tried which of course did not know what he should do for the initial stage of playing.

Obviously I admit that it can get  you closer to losing, whereas some people who already know how it works they will know what to do in the early stages to run the game and get some fun thrills. The other thing is that it's true as you say that it's better to learn about it before getting involved and regretting it like the OP here did, and he has given pretty good advice by telling us to practice on the demo accounts that are provided, at least to understand how the game works along with some of the features that are there.

There are so many games that one might not enjoy without knowledge. You will just end up wasting money if you don't know anything about the game and you keep betting on it. Some people might argue that learning about a game starts from one day but there are other means of learning without necessarily wasting money. I learned sports betting from friends and they kept guiding me until I mastered the skill of analysing and predicting games. Although there is some level of entertainment when you are introduced to a new game that interests you, however as the OP informed us, we get better entertainment when we understand the game we are betting on.

But in case we have an ideological system with such a source of knowledge, the possibility of increasing joy is not really high when right from the time when the awareness of the stature of knowledge, key points is no longer in joy, it is just a place to assert the winner. As you say, the information and analysis have been overly generalized where we will bet, this form has put the affection in the back and more, stemming from these correctness, the fear and skepticism are reduced and replaced by more gambling than expected.

You can set the bet amount to the smallest if you don't want to lose a lot. This will prevent you from experiencing a lot of losses in one game. But if you don't know how to play the game, using a demo account to learn is better.

You can't just gamble on the game without knowing how to play. What @OP experienced was because of his lack of proper knowledge in playing the roulette game, so he spent all his deposit money. This is what we must avoid when playing gambling.

Our ignorance of gambling games will cause us to experience big losses. And when we lose, there must be curiosity and a desire to recover from the loss. But if you don't want to experience defeat again, you should not gamble.

Well, I can't agree with this one... There's fun & excitement when we discover new games, I enjoy that. Nobody forces us to push with new games, it's advisable to try them with min bets before we learn more about that game. And sometimes people lose when playing some new game, but there are cases when we win some nice amounts, it's called beginner luck.

I don't have that feeling with slots, for example, all slots are pretty similar, we choose a stake and just press spin, but with some live card games, it's different. Those who haven't tried different poker variants, especially in live games (Caribbean, Russian, etc.) should try them.

I personally experienced this too when I was very inexperienced about casinos and very nervous about games that I could try. I think treating gambling like a kid treats his toys is definitely not good. I think its best to try with very low amount of money meanwhile reading article(s) and possibly watching a proper guide video (through youtube). Videos help a lot better than reading but reading may give you detailed insight if you can find wise people. Its common for sure that many amateur gamblers do similar mistakes - so its best to learn from mistakes - we shouldn't blame ourselves.

I also, until now have never played roulette, and this is because, I honestly do not know how to play, and I don't wann go losing money unnecessarily, so, I have reserved myself for now, until I make out time to learn how to play the game, I will never play it.

And this is because, I have actually had same experience as the op in sports betting, I was never really a fan of sports, I don't watch sports, and neither do I read any news on sports, I didn't know any team of club in sports like football, basketball and so on, and neither do I know which club or teams performs best or better than the other.

When I started gambling, I started with playing slot games and casino in-house games, I enjoyed playing but I was never satisfied because I never seem to be able to keep any part of my winnings, I always end up losing it all back to the casino. At a point, I got really tired and decided to try sports betting, I didn't know which sports games to bet on, so I always found myself betting on any sports game I thought I could be lucky on, but unfortunately, I kept losing and losing and losing, at a point, I decided to start giving attention to watching sports games, watching the team or clubs play, and I also started reading sports news and so on, not long after I started doing this, I had my very first win in sports betting, I was super excited that day, and it encouraged me to keep it going, and today, I am still here.

So, yeah, poor knowledge and ignorance on games we sometimes play, do contribute to most of our loses, not entirely lack of luck or whatever.

Losing is not unusual for someone and a gambler who doesn't know about gambling. And it is not a question of why they lose their money because they even don't spend time to learn about it. Even though we say that more losses happen in gambling however this could be changed if we know what we are doing and if we choose the right game to gamble. In fact, why we should choose pure luck games if we can choose to gamble where we can maximize our knowledge and skills?

We lose somehow because of these things
 - lack of knowledge
 - emotions
 - choice of game to bet

4 pages of discussion of banal and basic thing. Dont play if you dont know the rules. That is so simple. I wonder what OP was expecting when he played for real money in the game he did not understand. Fun and win streak? Turns to be loss and disappointment. I am not making fun of him, but that was obvious thing to happen. I am more interested, why after first loss, OP continued gambling for real money, but hasnt searched for table with play money or went reading rules?

Right, and on the other hand I think they still have a pretty good alternative by using a demo account to practice and understand how the game works along with getting to know some of the features that are provided in the game before you finally get involved using real money, because obviously even though basically everything is very dependent on luck as you said but on the other hand understanding how the game works earlier is better, because that will also have an effect. Or I mean if you don't know how the game works then of course it's like you're throwing money down the drain and you're not going to get the thrill of it because you don't know how the game works and because you don't understand it then I think it also has the potential to increase your potential for losing.

In a bet everything really depends on how lucky you are when running a session, no matter whether you are experienced or a beginner but still the risk will be the same and cannot be avoided. So it's better to understand the game so that you can get a thrill from some spins that look good and also stay firm on risk management, for honest roulette games that I always change is to change the number in each bet randomly depending on feelings and feelings only.

OP, I wouldn't put the blame on your lack of knowledge of the game, rather I will blame you for not knowing when to stop playing. You know that you lacked the knowledge, but you went ahead to keep playing. It was after you have lost all your deposit that you realized this. This is how gambling is, you will think that you will win the next game, but when you don't, you will not think of stopping. You still have hope of winning till you empty your bankroll. You were carried away by the fun and that was why you lost all that you had in your bankroll.

This is why newbies shouldn't see gambling as a way of passing time and have a time limit for your gambling activities. Assuming you won, you wouldn't say that you lacked experience, but you will feel that you understood the game so quick. Gambling is based on luck and not skill because no one can win the house hedge.

Knowing the basic rules of the game is a must before you spend real money on it, there are some people who gamble without knowing it first and if they are lucky enough, they may win big although they do not know how the game works.
Of course knowing the game is better than doing it blindly, but still the result has nothing to do with your knowledge because its all about luck.
Some experienced players may get continuous loses when they are out of luck and non experienced gamblers may win when they have the luck.
I dont understand, how did you play the roulette game, did you bet on the same number(s) all the time or do you change the number in each bet? How many bets you made?

You really need to have proper and enough knowledge so that you will successfully win against the house. Although the house really always wins regardless. So it's best to just do what you can in order to win, then just take profit when you are already happy with what you got. Taking profit the moment you feel like you are already satisfied will save you from losses. Because greediness can take away your fortune and the smile on your face.

Equipping yourself updated information and skills will take you places. You can win big by incorporating those plus having luck with you. Remember your main goal to retain the excitement that you have the moment you entered the gambling world. Is it for money? Is it for entertainment? Or both? Focus on that while being disciplined and responsible and you won't lose the spark you have while increasing your percentage of winning.

The title itself says it all , gambling should be a fun bringing place where we cannot enjoy if we will keep seeking for wins in which we knew how hard to achieve because the bankers/owners always wins.

but this will change at least if we have constant knowledge about what is this and what will  give us in the future .

also important that before we get involved in gambling we already has knowledge because if not then this wrong gaming will be on us.

It's true that when one lack knowledge about gambling and feels like he could just engage gambling like that, then he may ended having losses and that alone nay cause him to being depressed and unhappy because he never know and understand the risk in gambling yet, the way such is seing gambling is different from how it appears in reality, this is to encourage us that we need to embrace learning before going ahead in doing anything we so wish to have done in gambling.

Many gamblers believe that gambling is base on luck therefore having a clear knowledge about what you are gambling on will make no difference, but this is not a good ideology. While you may be lucky enough to win in games you have no clue at all about, it might not work in all cases. For example,  in sports betting one needs to have a good knowledge about the sports, the club, the team and its management in some cases and even the individual players. This information will help you make accurate analysis and predictions that will increase your chance of winning. You cannot compare a clueless gambler to one with lots of experience at his finger tips. The outcome of the games between these two gamblers will be too obvious.

Even someone who have never heard about gambling before should know the meaning of gambling already, it's a game of luck, so why would anyone just stumble across a gambling advert and decide to try it out with big money? That's so unwise and only idiots do such thing.

In my country, there are many people that have never tasted what gambling feels like yet when they hear someone talking about gambling they will say that they can never become a gambler, as if they have played and lost a lot of money.

And this isn't how things are with them, they just know that the name gambling is already a red flag, and it's true, knowing what gambling really means is enough for everyone to cautious with gambling, you don't even need someone to lecture you about gambling.
