It's worrying also to see how tempting it can be, especially when people are caught up in the excitement, but I feel like I need to step back and share my story among with the feelings I got towards it. Anyone else feeling this pressure too? Let’s have a discussion and share your opinions.

I have learnt to put my emotions in check when am gambling and that is why am not always moved by the news of big win. If the win is coming from a close friend of mine, I would be happy for him and I do not mind getting some token from him or drinks on him.

I would rather use the money I have to invest or save. Come to think of it, I do not know how much the person spent or how many losses you had before he got a big win. It is very rare for casino to give someone a return of 100x especially a first trial but if it true, that's avenue to get more users in order to collect their hard earned money.

Can you please confirm the relation between: 1xbet and 1xbit.

Both of them are owned by the same company, so yeah both of them are scammers.

It's quite surprising that people in your country are talking about this casino instead of local casino, this casino also paid many influencers for advertisement, but in the end people are discussing about local casino.

It seems they're focus with 1xbet rather than 1xbit now since 1xbit already has very bad review.

You'd rather say the name of the casino, as it is not promoting but instead gives awareness to the public. And it was just like that, as you also save a lot of gamblers from not falling into the trap of scammers.

Since you said this, I reconsidered things and it makes more sense to share the name of the casino for one reason which creating more awareness to the community and public. Can you please confirm the relation between: 1xbet and 1xbit. Because this first one is a hype in our country where many people are depositing significant amounts, shop store are offering deposits with our local currency. The biggest issue now is the lack of awareness about its addiction.

Please if you could confirm the relationship between these two casinos, because 1xbit is a very known scam casino with several cases and accusations against them. If both casinos belong to the same team, simply 1xbet are also scammers.

In fact, emotional gambling is not possible because there is a substantial risk of losing money. So i would like to say that it is never a game of emotions, so anyone who has the mental strength to lose money can only bet on gambling. All over social media and i think that's one of the reasons why gambling is such a big temptation these days. Moreover, all categories of people are involved here. There are many people who will show big winnings but if you research you can see how much they spent before they got the big amount. On the other hand they will also spend some money so that they do not experience big gains. There is no dearth of gambling sites in my country and people are flocking there without any restrictions as a source of earning money.

I want to share my story lately, actually writing this while hearing people discussing gambling at the coffee shop now. It’s that familiar feeling we all get when hearing someone talk about making a good 100x returns from gambling in the crash game, how easy it seems then suddenly, the urge to try it yourself kicks in even with my big knowledgeof how really gambling is and the tight chances of making something like that. Everyone here is topping up their accounts, thinking they will get the same crazy gains. But deep down, I know it’s not that simple.

What’s more worrying to me is that the casino they are using seems suspiciously relatedr to one known scam casino around here. I won’t mention its name because I don’t want to promote something shady, but it definitely raises much red flags as it's targeting my region now. It's worrying also to see how tempting it can be, especially when people are caught up in the excitement, but I feel like I need to step back and share my story among with the feelings I got towards it. Anyone else feeling this pressure too? Let’s have a discussion and share your opinions.

We are all different, we are all not the same, what works for A might not work for B, this is also happening with investments, for example meme coins have been turning people into millionaires in this bear market already, I've read good news on twitter about people turning small amount of dollars into something significant, so I decided to give a try, I was burnt throughout all my trials.

I later stopped and go back to my old way "finding good utility coins" then my good luck came back, this shows that I can't keep doing others are doing even if its working for them, who am I? This is why we have different names and parents, there is more than meets the eye.

I will keep saying this about gambling, I found my peace with gambling since the day I plan to just keep gambling with what I can and it is not a must to gamble every day or week, gambling isn't the best way to make money, if that's what you want be ready to lose some money, and you might not get good luck on the long run.

I think that's normal, the reason why people join to gamble because they see their friends gamble or heard someone make a lot of money from it. When you're in a crowd, don't try to act like a hero by discouraging or stop people to gamble, instead talk with them one on one. Some people use their emotion over their brain, you might fall in debate or fight when you disagree with them.

Sometimes situations like this apply to investing principles: when the return seems too good to be true, it’s probably a scam. Winning big in gambling isn’t impossible, but the problem is we often ignore the risks because we’re too tempted by the big reward. That’s called greed, and it clouds our ability to think realistically, which usually leads to bigger losses instead.

Yes to be honest, I feel the urge to gamble when I read about winning on games that I'm playing; in my case, its lotto and horse racing, but on other games I am not tempted I only get tempted to play on games that I am comfortable of playing and had a chance of winning.
Its ok to feel envious, but just be sure that what you are envious of are winners from the games that you can also win. What's good if you gamble in a game that you do not know how to play and have zero chance of winning?

In short it means there's a scammer aka agent from the scam casino at that coffee shop? I think the casino you refer is "1xshet".

I’m guilty about this because every time I watch streamer winning big I always feel that I can do the same and later on have an interest to gamble even though I don’t have plans that time.

There’s a time that I’m just so relax and casually browsing on my social media until I stumble on gambling content that highlights huge win. I immediately gamble and regret my loss since I’m just comfortably relaxing while I gamble unplanned and loss.

It’s terrible to lose money out of nowhere just because I encouraged by those bs gambling content.

It's not really a pressure? It's just greed imo. No one's really pressuring people to play cause someone hit big. And as for the good news thing, it's really understandable imo, greed is an innate quality of humans and denying that just seems kind of dumb. I'd probably feel the same, definitely not playing on whatever casino they're trying to promote though. I play on my own terms for the most part. Heck I've probably done that exact thing already in the past, just not coming back to me right now.

This is one of my weakness and that of most gamblers I know. The news of big win is one thing that make people change their mind about some gambling decisions especially on the aspect of quitting or taking a break. I have lost count of how many times I decided to take a long break from gambling or even stop gambling but just the time I take the decision I will hear of big win from a friend or someone I know. Unfortunately, after returning as a result of this kind of news, winning will become magically scarce. I have not found a panacea for this kinds of come back though.

Thank you for sharing your story. Many people are influenced by the stories of big win by others. They want to try it out and hope they win too. They'll ask for tips and all from whoever was the recipient of the win. But this is not the case when there is a loss. In fact there are hardly people who share their stories of loss. Since you know you know about the casino and you were in the same place where the story was being shared, I think you have some obligation to speak up, so as to give a balanced view of wins and losses to those who are already deluded that they will be as lucky as the other person. It is on you to speak up and save some folks from irresponsible gambling.

It's great to see you recognize your stress and change your habits. I think a lot of people fall into the trap of chasing that big win. Especially after hearing other people's success stories or experiencing it yourself. But as you said Gambling under pressure or outside factors can quickly become a bad habit. I still gamble too. But I've found that setting limits and knowing when you're stressed is key to staying in control it's a matter of balance enjoying it without letting it overwhelm you. I'd like to know how other people manage that balance.

Being able to control yourself is one of the indications of healthy gambling. When someone finds that point, it will be difficult for them to become a problem gambler no matter how bad their losses are. From my story, I realized very quickly that the behavior was not good, so until now I still hear their stories without taking them too seriously.

Temptation: The Urge to Gamble When Hearing About Big Wins

The Crash game is indeed tempting, especially for newcomers, when the rocket flies and stops with you 100x that's where people think this is an opportunity for us to achieve a big win, remember gambling is gambling, you will never achieve your dreams in broad daylight.

I have felt the phenomenon you mentioned, when I saw the account in the Crash game winning almost $100k, I took a bet and waited for the rocket to stop and I got the money, but it was all a joke, I almost lost everything and I really didn't get that win, almost 20 rounds I tried, none of them ever got the highest rocket, whether it was a trap or another system, What is clear is that the game Crash really made me not as beautiful as I imagined.

For this reason, gamble as much as we can, what we get is our fortune and what other people get is their fortune, don't be greedy for other people's winnings, we don't necessarily get what our friend got.

It is a different thing to play in a casino with the excitement of winning and when you win then you don't get your profit. That is very disheartening.

However, we don't need to go into gambling just because someone around us was lucky to win whether big or small big. Doing that is a trap whose result can be disastrous because such kind of gambler would go in all out and using very substantial money for it as they are only chasing to get same huge winning with the person without being mindful that gambling is luck base and the reason for gambling with money you can bear when you lose. So it is always proper to be cautious and not be envious of someone's winning.

I know what you are talking about and I want to share my story with you guys, I was with a friend at the barber. He played some rounds until he made a 1000% profit in a short period of time not exceeding 05 minutes everyone was surprised and started asking about how to get that amount the problem is that some of them don't know anything about gambling and when we started talking about the services provided by the casino, I found that the majority defend it and do not have enough informations about it , there are those who don't want to know anything about the safety of their money and the important thing for them is to play.

The bottom line is that people at the present time don't care about anything, just making a quick profit in betting without looking at the risks, considering it the easiest way.

It's all over social media and I think that's also one reason why gambling is such a big temptation nowadays. Here in our place, you will hear the word "Scatter" from young people and old ones and it tells how popular gambling is especially slots.
If you can avoid playing, please do. Sure, it's nice to hear someone winning high multipliers but let's also ask ourselves how much they spent before receiving such a high amount. Others would spend millions before they can even see a high multiplier in most of their time gambling while others will get lucky to receive it early but also spend some so they don't feel the big profits.
There's actually one worse temptation that one gambling site here in our country did, put it on a billboard where the train goes, and the trains here are always crowded which means many will definitely see it. Resist, that's what you can do.

How is that promoting when you would say they are shady and they look like a scam?
Actually not naming them would do more harm to the community as more people would get tricked into playing at that website, so no point hiding their name as long as you have some serious proof they are cheating their customers or promoting fake wins.

Anyone else feeling this pressure too?

Pressure for what? If people around you will tell you they've found gold while diving in the river would you grab your swimsuit and go hunting for gold to get rich? If they tell you they've met a guy who managed to sell their kidney for $100k and then a month back get a new one for $50k so they've made 50k from it would you agree to it?
This thing about pressure is nonsense, if you're that easily influenced by what people talk around you gambling or not you are going to run into far worse problems in your life!

This feeling is familiar to me. I think that the same feeling is familiar to many players. Sometimes the excitement is even so exciting that you can give in to the impulse and do some stupid thing. For example, I noticed for myself that under the influence of such a feeling, I can make a big bet, and completely imprudently. So, yes, stories about other people's winnings can actually provoke excitement.
However, this is part of the gambling industry's strategy to attract players, there is nothing special about it, but sometimes it has a strong effect.

I've always got this belief that I have stayed away from gambling for so long, and I try to attempt it again, there's a big chance that I'd hit a win. I don't know if there are others who have this belief but it's crazy and so when I hear about the wins of others especially how they placed their bets without putting in too much expectations, the urge to give mine a try is so strong but then again I discover that the essence of abstaining from gambling since I begin to notice it's becoming an addiction may then be useless especially if I start chasing losses if the first doesn't work so I try to not welcome those thoughts and instead do something else that might be productive.
