Sometimes I wonder about other gamblers who see gambling as an investment. I can't imagine if it was an investment for them, when most gamblers always lose in the end.

because when we say investment, it's not something that we lose our capital instantly or easily,.. that's why it's good to just make it a form of entertainment as much as possible.

This is the best advice but unfortunately, most gamblers pursue it with the mind of making money, which is the cause of the problem most of them are facing. Imagine someone pursuing risky gambling with the desperation of making money via it and the person is still of a weak mind ( two problems), what do you expect to be the lot of such? This will continue to plague gamblers unless they change their entire disposition about the activity and take it casually or for fun.

Setting limits on gambling activities including time and money would literally help you refrain from gambling gradually.Every attempt to quit gambling starts with little efforts over oneself.Maintain and balance your emotions to quit gambling completely.Although,it wouldn't be so easy with the process but can keep monitoring&tracking progress on how well you've been able to limit gambling.

But at the same time, I still couldn't find any clear gambling or betting strategies. I know about Martingale, which is supposedly supposed to be used in random games like dice or roulette, constantly raising the bet.
But it's not profitable, because not long ago everyone would have used it. In games like poker, there can't be any profitable strategies at all, because it's a fairly complex game, and the circumstances there change every second. In general, it's best to spend time on more predictable things that have greater guarantees of success.

It's a must that you need to follow whatever setup you made before playing, there are things that you can't control for sure once emotions dominates you, and it's very important that you have that will to pause and rest yourself to assess what might be wrong when you feel that you already losing decent amount of money.


Yup, though most of the gamblers aims to win even they are just playing to have some fun but it's far different when you are winning, that's adds up to the level of your enjoyment. Just make sure that you plan ahead and use only the amount that you are willing to let go that's shows how responsible you are to avoid getting too deep and become addicted.

Those who are trying to hard to make money from betting are one of the gamblers that will keep establishing unsuitable gambling practice. When we have the funds to gamble,it is hood we take our time or subscribe to telegram channels or other means of getting good games that will have higher probability of giving a win. Embracing a good gambling habit will be quite profitable for us if we know how to put that into action. Gambling need discipline because that the ultimate way to establish a well and profitable gambling practice. It is not easy to keep having a consistent gambling result which is why we need to betting while using profitable strategy that will earn us consistent profits.

Yups and maybe I will mention one of the reasons why gambling should only be used as a place of entertainment, namely because it will never be possible for you to try to earn income from this activity, gambling depends on probability which means there is no consistency in terms of results, you can win but you are also very likely to lose and plus we never know about what we win and what makes us lose and that is the reason why gambling is more recommended to be used as a playground.
From another point of view, gambling can also be used as a place to train your discipline, because in most cases gamblers often easily fall and get carried away because they cannot stand all the temptations in it.

Though am not a regular gambler, but with the few times I have gamble, I have come to understand that the easiest way to get addicted to gambling is to gamble with the intention of making money out of it, like taking it as a source of income, and it's only when someone start taking it as a means of making money that is when he or she will start chasing losses, because I know for a fact that no reason gambler will chase losses if he is only gambling for fun.
Another thing a gambler needs to do while gambling is to gamble with an amount they can afford to lose, because almost all the gamblers that has gotten into one problem or the other because of gambling is because they gambling with a money they can't afford to lose, so when they finally lost the bet, they get into one tight Conner or the other, so while gambling, it's very important to gamble with an amount you can afford to lose and most importantly gambling with the in the intention of having fun, not making money from it

Sure, gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment or, at most, as a calculated risk, not an investment. The idea is to spend only what you're prepared to lose and to set limits before you begin.

Yup, gambling is indeed not much different from business in general, where it is clear that the bookie's goal is to get a lot of profit from this business, but maybe what makes it different is in terms of the products offered and the scenarios implemented by the casino to always be able to make a profit.
I understand what you mean that the point is the bad stigma that most people have towards gambling, namely not because of gambling but because gamblers are wrong in treating the activity so that in the end it is clear and very natural if, for example, these gamblers experience the bad impacts of the activity.

On the other hand, I think it seems that we do have to try to straighten out this problem, but yes, I also understand that people will not immediately believe the explanation we give, but at least we have tried and maybe we can start from the closest people to straighten everything out and it would be great if, for example, we also explain what and how gambling really is so that they do not become victims of impulsive gambling next.

Responsible gambling helps us maintain balance in our lives, and responsibility is something that keeps us away from gambling addiction. We should behave responsibly in every aspect of our lives. Gambling should be limited, gambling should be seen only as an investment, and gambling should be done with less money than we can afford to lose while gambling, and while these things are easy to say, they are difficult to do correctly, but not impossible, and responsibility is required to do them well. Without responsibility, a gambler will start gambling regardless of all limitations and will get involved in gambling addiction, which will make him destitute. This is why responsibility, balance and self-control are very important in gambling, only as a result of these, a gambler will be able to stay away from the trap of gambling addiction.

Gambling responsible will help us to avoids from spending money too much and the big problem that we really want to avoids which is gambling addiction. We don't want losing control in gambling so we really take care ourselves with that responsible and we know that we don't have to playing gambling with more money. A responsible behavior needs to be practice so  we need to learn more and more to have a better responsibility because we realize that will help us in many aspects. We must be able to be better in the future and with learning so many things that will necessary for our life, we will become a gambler that have a better responsibility.

Responsible gambling practices start from the mindset of the gambler because that is what will determined if they can be careful how they go about with their gambling lifestyle. Setting out a bankroll for gambling and sticking to it in order not to exceed the bankroll will help the gambler to set a boundary that will not allow them fall to addiction or get involved in irresponsible gambling since they can be able to control how they gamble and the funds they are able to gamble with. If gamblers can apply disciplinary measures in the course of their gambling lifestyle, gambling will not be seen as bad as most people reason it in the society. If you are disciplined in gambling, it will give you consciousness such that when you try to deviate from how you plan your gambling to be, you will just come back immediately to your senses and avoid such situation that will want to make you to go beyond your limit.

Gambling works the same way other businesses perform but chasing losses is one big torn in the flesh of most gamblers. That's why non gamblers assume gaming is bad. In the sense that they've seen relatives who has gone compulsive and ruffled the peace in the house. People who think gambling is not good, need to be educated. Excessive engagement to any activity is wrong. Same way people are advised not to eat a lot, take overdose, play so much, to avoid injuries, that's how gamblers should be reminded by their relatives who are aware of their gaming habit. Unfortunately, non gamers do not care about studying or researching on ways to help gaming friends when compulsive or addictive.

Well, something like that must be applied where we can play on the basis of enjoying not on the basis of looking for profit because it is not recommended also to do gambling with the basic basis for making a profit because things like this are more inclined to make us become addicted to gambling. Indeed, not everyone can control themselves, including with their emotions, but controlling ourselves when we do gambling is one of the important things that must be considered.
It is true that you say, besides that they should be able to plan from the beginning to keep themselves from their behavior of gambling to not have the wrong mindset like the purpose of gambling is to seek profit, it is the wrong mindset and must be addressed.

Everything which is really that excessive is always been bad and this isnt really just that not limited to gambling alone but also in other things as well on which everything which is really that out of limits then this is already considered bad and would be having that potential problems that might arise when you do continue up to deal up with things. You will definitely be having that kind of regret on the moment that family relations, finances and other things that been affected and wont really be that similar things in the past. If you are really that having no care about into the consequences then you wont be minding that much about such actions and will really be continue on what you've been doing and as long you arent experiencing shit conditions then you will be continuing.

This is one of the main reasons on why gambling industry is indeed that profitable because there were those gamblers who are really that making up some kind of desperate  measures or actions. On the moment that you will be chasing up your loses then this is where problems do really start to kick up and on the time that you will be having such approach then its impossible that you cant be able to think up well whether its good or bad. There are really just that those who are really that making themselves dumb.

It's funny that I have not actually thought about why alcoholic drinks are free in a casino, no matter how cheap an item might be people would definitely want as long as it's free. Alcohol can affect the brain thereby affecting your reasoning and mood. When you get intoxicated you might gamble carelessly without any form of self control. Reading this should be an heads up to all the gamblers out there, drink moderately while gambling or avoid it totally. The first point you made is very smart and reasonable, a gambler that doesn't set a limit for himself would be able to spend millions on gambling In a day. It's important to have a specific amount of money that you shouldn't exceed no matter what, without discipline you are going to find yourself losing a lot of money, take control of what you do and manage your risks.

Yes they know that gambling while drunk can lead them to various aggressive actions that ultimately make them lose more money, but unfortunately not all of them can be that careful, they know the side effects of alcohol but sometimes there are some of them who ignore the fact that gambling while drunk is dangerous, I understand that you will not lose too much money if you consume the drink in moderation but sometimes the situation and atmosphere can really encourage them to continue drinking more until they finally lose consciousness, the point from me is one thing that you must be able to use your common sense before you make any decision, such as having to understand and realize that gambling while drunk can lead you to lose more money, so if you want to gamble then it is better to stay away from anything that has the potential to make you lose consciousness.

The truth is that some persons knows the level of alcohol that they will take and it will not disturb them, it's only when they take excessive alcohol and get drunk that they will gamble out of control. From experience, so many of us here knows that if you gamble while fully drunk, you can not do things in your right senses and it will lead to so much loses.

Anything done in excess will never work out well in the end and gambling is no exception.
Gambling is not too bad to do even though for now the stigma that leads to gambling always refers to the negative but in the end gambling can still be done but with a note that this is done not excessively and reasonably which is the source of the problem that many people cannot do in gambling.

When we do reasonably in the sense that if we win or lose then we must realize when to start and when to stop then actually gambling is very doable by anyone but in the end trying to do that apart from needing strong self-control, responsibility and how we manage finances in the balance properly. Because indeed when someone is gambling sometimes most of us will never stop when the money they have in the balance has not run out so this is always a situation that ultimately becomes troublesome when we do gambling.
