Every story you tell someone can either be a motivation or something to get them depressed. I have been thinking about this and I'd like to pass this advice to every serious gambler in this platform who has won a substantial amount of money from gambling, not to share their success story about winning to everyone and in every place.
That's one way of looking at it and I agree with you, but unfortunately you can't seperate information on who it gets to or not because this is a public place without any sort of filters , and besides like they say one man's poison is another man's medicine...
Btw, with how the forum is setup with signature campaigns and the alike when it comes to marketing, showing winnings is part of growing a companies userbase..which says it's a game of numbers which needs to be done.
You do not know the story of every gambler, and on the face some gamblers may just look alright but in deep down they are in debt, some depressed due to addiction to gambling that is destroying them and has made them plan to quit. Your success story when shared indiscriminately may trigger and motivate this addicted gambler battling to stop to want to keep gambling, having the believe that their time is close. Be careful who and where you talk about your success in gambling, you may just be encouraging an addicted gambler to continue.
What you said is sadly true, but this also says the gambler has no self-control and are not capable of making the right decisions... and fyi gambling is an adult activity and as an adult you need to own up on the decisions you make and not the next guy taking responsibility for your actions, everyone has free will....
