I totally believe that taking big Betting risk or Gambling in Bets can be curtailed or minimized if we keep teaching people how to be responsible Bettors.
It's actually heart breaking to see people complain about the problems they face due to gambling whereas there are numerous ways they can avoid the problems.
Hope this thread helps people who gamble in bets to learn how to be responsible and successful bettor without gambling or without taking big risk.
Below are My Post Collections on the Gambling Discussion Section:*
On taking big financial risk in bets1.
Someone posted: "Have you guys thought of ending the life after big losses. Right now my mind is thinking of ending the life. It all started with just $700. I lost it, and in the event of recovering those fund I went for a loan and deposited around $2500. Here my fate, I lost everything once again. Then the recovery value increased from $700 to $3200. Here once again I deposited $9000 borrowing. Now that too is lost. My mind keeps saying end the life, with your earning you can't repay the amount lost.
Sorry guys."

My reply: Seems you are betting with what you can't afford to risk/lose. This is typically what gamblers do. ..They bet with what they can't afford to lose,then get sad when they lose it or start contemplating suicide.
I would advise that you learn to become skilled bettor or stick to betting occasionally with little amount until you become consistently profitable.
Bet, but don't Gamble.Gambling is not for smart and responsible people

So I was going through a story of a girl who literally stole 70,000 Euros to Gamble apparently it all started when she invested 20 Euro and won a thousand and since then she became addicted to easy money.
It made me realize that every now and then there is someone here sharing their addiction stories and it might help to have a particular thread for them to keep all the sources which could help them get their life straight again..
Here is a quote from BBC :-

My reply and contribution:
What actually makes people addicted to things like games, sugar, drugs, etc is the fun/happiness they derive from them especially when they are sad. So, you need to make sure customers don't get addicted to your products/services by making them less flashy, less sweet, lessen the prize money (so they don't get attached to it) etc. The world is full of addicts who are addicted to movies, foods, games, money, flashy things, etc.
Important Tips for Betting Sites and other Businesses on the addiction issues:
Make your products/services safe and beneficial to customers. Better to have people addicted to very beneficial games,, foods, movies than have them addicted to dangerous ones. Make them good/safe and beneficial just incase your customers get addicted, the products and services will help them to be useful to their societies and themselves.

My ReplyKids needs to be guided always, unfortunately they are free thesedays instead of being under constant guidance. They get exposed to all manner of things which they would end up abusing or misusing. The bad ones shouldn't be shown to them at all. But they are bombard with them including, porn, gambling, bad foods, bad songs, bad games, etc
I don't support kids (or even adults) to gamble atall. No porn at all, even for adults
Betting sites should make sure that customers practice safe bet.
Kids should only access good betting sites through parental guidance.
Bet but don't gamble.
