Addiction is a disease with well known ways of treatment like hypnosis. I do not know nothing about odds and their gambling experience. Some of them, probably, bought a lottery ticket once and won, but I believe the biggest number of them were buying tickets day after day to take the prise, so it is also may be called as some kind of addiction.

In gambling, when you loose your bid, you start thinking under pressure and this slowly starts making you feel like you have lost everything and won nothing as a result of which you put more money in the game and since your mind is under pressure, you do not make the good tricks and moves and loose again.

These are the odds which make you put in more and more money and thereby leads to addiction. Having a very clear vision of what you want to do makes you shielded to addiction.

In the history of gambling any gamblers that started thinking or under pressure will definitely loose his money and this is why it every important fi gamblers to know the rules of the game which would help him gamble profitable even when the odds is not in his favor.

Although he knows about the rule, it doesn't guarantee he cannot get addicted to the game. He needs to stay alert that playing gambling too long can cause him to become addicted and he needs to prevent before that is happening. Many gamblers know about the addiction, but some of them don't know how to prevent or know the sign about the addiction.

Is it only addictions when you lose money, or how do that works?
I have been making sportsbet for 20-25 years now, and on a yearly basis I havn't lost money on it, the last 20 years. I have learn the hard way not to bet to much at one time, so I only play with smaller amount. On a weekly basic I can easily make around 100 different bets, so I spend a lot of time on betting, but I'm not losing any money on it. Some will say its still gambling addiction, but for me it's just a hobby.

If you can't handle the resposibilities of gambling or other aspects of gambling, just don't gamble at all so you don't run the risk of potentially becoming addicted to gambling...

It's really hard to control the greed. Gambling seems the most easiest way to make money. Those flashy ads, attractive odds, winning history, raffle draw etc etc creates interest. You give it a try and start gambling.

Once you become addicted then you find yourself losing money every time. Even when you win you feel like to make more and eventually you lose. I know people who place bets just by seeing the odds.

It is not only when you are addicted in gambling that you will lose but addiction make you lose more or make more profit is a two way things.

snip-
Gambling is a game where one day will be gain profit and the other day will be lost. This is not the only day to gain. Gambling can never be taken as addictive.

Gambling addiction? In my circle, my family to be first of all became so much broke because of gambling addiction and that was the reason why my parents raised us not to place a single coin for betting a gambling platform.

Gambling addiction is a very risky addiction of all. If you are a gambling addict, you could actually spend all of your assets and ask for some credits to win the game. This is because there is an extreme urge that will push you to place more bet win or lose. If you want to stop your addiction to gambling, you have to learn that gambling is not the way for you to chase a profit it is probably for fun.

Yes, I agree with your words. The real problem is the addiction. There is no problem in the even or odd ones. Gambling is a luck game. Sometimes there will be an even bit and sometimes it will gain by odd bit. It's all a matter of luck. People are just losing their all money due to addiction to gambling. Gambling is a game where one day will be gain profit and the other day will be lost. This is not the only day to gain. Gambling can never be taken as addictive.

Yes, addiction is which makes us to gamble again & again.Addiction is that which provoke us that we can win in very next match which end up losing so If one can remove addiction he/she definately save from gambling.I really believe that addiction is what can cause people so much.

Well, addiction leads to ill planed and irrational moves which ultimately lead you to financial loss in the game. This is something to stay away from. So, stay away from the things that makes you an addict. Moreover, do not give hours and hours to gambling because it is normal and general perception that if you are giving more than one hour to gambling, you develop signs of addiction which is alarming.

Quote from: justspare on March 03, 2019, 10:23:50 AM

There are people who always play small bet to enjoy gambling for a long long time, but they never exceed their limit, which prevent and keep them safe from big lost and even become too much addicted in gambling.

Not EXCEEDING is the key here as addiction will be possible regardless of you bet small or big or you gamble for fun or for profits. But, having control on ourselves will safeguard ourselves for sure. Self-control will be the only way to prevent addiction and for getting rid off it too.

yes, how big is the bet, even if it loses but if it's done only once, I think it's still reasonable and still safe. the dangerous thing is, when playing with small but continuous bets. meaning there is a sense of wanting to play gambling continuously.

as long as it's just for the pleasure it doesn't seem like a problem
everyone has their own way of looking for fun.
for some people, gambling is one way to get pleasure

I think if you only gamble just for fun,it would not be a problem because for sure you will only do it just like once or twice a week.But if you want to play gambling the whole time around,i guess addiction is already there.If you cannot set limits to yourself,then that addiction will definitely ruin your life in the end.Gambling is good as long as you know your limits about it.

It's the most important strategy to have limits within control, because if you don't have it with you I think you'll making your life stressful due to loss of funds. Addiction will become contagious and cannot be taken that fast once you been linked to gambling very bad. Certain manners will come and it will become habitual when you're not going to eliminate the cost.

And thats why gambling industry is booming up because people who do seek pleasure will always end up on
playing with casinos and other gambling places.

There would really be no other problem if you do know how to limit your spendings and about the odds it isnt really
a problem at all yet we do know how gambling works but tendency of addiction is high when you do let yourself
hooked with it for longer durations.

Hi folks,

Yes, as the title says, I see a lot of negativity here with many people complaining. But the issue is not about the odds. You can win even when the odds are not in your favor.

I will explain: many random people everywhere in the world, managed on a random day to win at the national lottery, several millions $. Yet, the odds were not in their favor at all! National lotteries actually impose a much bigger margin (protection) to make sure they win more than they lose.

The point is: you can win big on a given day, if you get lucky. And yes luck strikes everywhere once in a while.

The main issue I see in those threads here is people totally addicted, investing a lot of money, chasing their losses, increasing their stakes after a loss.

The danger is the addiction, not the odds.

My opinion anyway.

Yes that is true. It is not really about the odds anyway, because as far as we concern, odds are already associated in playing gambling as well as other games that we can imagine. The problem is that how people manage those odds that they face. It is either in a positive or a negative way. Positively treating the odds makes you know your limits turning you to stop for a while which is good. But on the other hand treating it in a negative manner gets you stick into playing gambling more than the usual thing because you are already addicted on chasing losses and money which does not make gambling fun anyway because you are already misbehaving on it. That is why whenever I play into an online casino I treat odds on the variety of games I play as a part of the games so I am challenged and getting entertained while playing as well as enjoying great bonus for doing my first deposit.

Well, it is usual that odds are part of every game we play to have that sort of challenges to make the game more intensifying and challenging to encourage us to take the risk of playing it because without the odds it seems boring to play with it. Addiction is a real danger because loosing control of yourself in playing brings out another problem to come so taking control of yourself is a great thing to do to avoid such thing to come. I got interested into the bonus you were talking about for just doing first deposit into that online casino you were saying.

Yes that's true. Including odds in the game really makes it more intensifying and exciting as well as challenging for us games to play. But taking control with ourself is the thing we must have so that we may not get played of the game we are playing to avoid getting addicted on it specially talking about gambling that is associated with odds in different manner. Well, you can experience that great bonus in the online casino I am currently into once you have done your first deposit on it.

This is true the danger in gambling isn't the odds,
It's ourself the problem is when we gamble most of us couldn't control ourself,
We couldn't stop playing and it is not just for the winners but also for those who lost their money,
I mean who would quit if they are winning ?
And when you continue you before you knew it you already lost it all,
And for those who lose ,they would tend to continue to gain back what they lost.
So the problem in gambling is our greediness.

That is not a problem that either you play a big or small bet, the problem is that if you will continue gambling without having any limit and planning.

Such gambling strategy is more serious and risky, which one can lose everything he has in no time. There are people who always play small bet to enjoy gambling for a long long time, but they never exceed their limit, which prevent and keep them safe from big lost and even become too much addicted in gambling.

Being addicted with gambling compared to trading is really different but the behavior that would come out would really be just the same on where you do feel
the pressure which do leads to fast decisions without even thinking or realizing on your next possible move.

Hmm, does that kind of addiction really exist? For me being hooked up in trading is much better just to called a habit or more of a home-based job. I know that there are risks in therr but not as worse as the gambling have, it is more of like a business where you earn from your efforts and lose from bad decisions. There is no such thing called luck when it comes to this simply because you are the one who manipulates your money.

Trading does really involves some luck too.I don't know if other members do have the same view as mine but this is what I believe.No matter how good your analysis is but the market
would go to the opposite side will still consider to be unlucky the only difference is that trading can really be learned and good for long term which isn't really possible with gambling.
Entertainment and long term job wont ever collaborate.

Before, in the game, it was very easy for me to fall into addiction, obviously, as in commerce, I lost and did not know why, but I read many important books about the trade of very famous speculative authors and my losses have stopped , the same happens in the game, many people play with their own strategy, but I know that studying some tutorials can help us, since it teaches us to watch the game professionally, therefore, if you have a good strategy and luck, it becomes a winner considering the reason, if he has a good strategy and has no luck, he will know when to leave and avoid a total catastrophe.

You are just telling about skill-based gambling games which it can really be possibly enhanced and do increase your winning chance but for pure luck ones then its impossible for it to be learned
nor having a specific strategy that would work.
They are on different fields luck based and skill based even both things requires luck.

Danger is not addiction. The addiction here is to make a lot of money (big price/jack pot) in a short period of time without doing a big thing by buying only a lottery ticket.
