Gambling can try everyone, someone like me does not like it. But the problem with gambling is greed. When someone is not happy with a small win, it spends much more than it should. Someone only thinks of taking a little profit and getting up, does not play for 2 or 3 days. It should be controlled and enjoyed gambling in gambling. When someone is a gambler, he does not have full control. Often addicts are those people who are lucky to gamble, get a good profit and just continue, we need to be constrained and realize that we have money on without work and effort, and be happy.

The addiction is also fuelled by greed and 9 out of 10 times some other problems that needs to be solved. Some people gamble in an attempt to pay bad debt and some people just gamble out of boredom
Have you noticed that when you visit a brick n mortar gambling place, that most of the people look old and poor and desperate? It makes me very sad, when I visit these places for a night out and I see all these desperate people, hoping that luck would favour them.

Gambling is dangerous for those people who does not want to enjoy gambling. Here's a blog that contains about betting and gambling, Hoping this would help a bit.
Know the risk and know how to win by being smart and not to get addicted with gambling.
Being smart, will help you NOT getting addicted with gambling. But, the question is how we are going to escape from the witch-grafts of gambling from not losing our brain to fade away. I mean even you are smart enough in your other activities, you may not remain smart once you start gambling. Yes, you will lose your control on your emotions and then on your thoughts and will act like a mad.Gambling will dominate us by scattering out our focus hence staying smart all the time while gambling is not possible unlike how it sounds. Now, come back to the points of knowing risks and avoiding addictions. Yes, you will get addicted even you know the risks of gambling because the in-between suggestion of being smart is not practically feasible for all the times.
Avoid gambling to stay smart.
I think the biggest danger is not understanding the maths or being able to distance yourself from the gamble in a rational way to any extent. So I'd have to point out if the odds were perfect and you kept repeating it then you would gain in the long term however no game is free and the odds reflect that you must be lucky to walk away with a profit, thats just the cost to playing a gamble.
Danger for me is believing something not true like you will always be lucky or its not possible to lose all your stake, always give yourself a fair limit and be ready to just say I lost the game today and walk away and go do something free instead

Definitely, regardless of the odds but you will remain addict, you'll never find a value on it.
Controlling yourself is a must because with your strategy, all will be worthless if you cannot initiate it effectively.

I agree on some part, but the unfair odd is also dangerous, for gambler especially. And by the way rather than addiction, I would prefer to call it greed, addiction do not just come out of nowhere, it is when people a so greedy, then there comes the addiction. If you know that you tend to be a greedy person, I would not recommend, or even I would advice you to stay away from gambling.
I know people who are greedy but never gamble, they are greedy but at the same time reasonable.Something very few people say is that many addicts have a big ego, their addiction come from this, their ego cannot handle the fact that they lost money, so they always end up chasing their losses. You can easily spot them in casinos.
Great point! I don't know maybe it has something to do with upbringing, but there are people who think of themselves as winners in all situations, and they think they should never accept any loss. I don't even pity them when they lose big. If you are such an asshole that you think you are a winner while others are losers, you deserve the big crash that is coming for you.
Those people who pretend to be an expert of such particular games most likely engage to much, they are pretending that they have the advantage
but looking to how they played and loses their bankroll only showed that they are just dreaming and with so much emotions they won't stop until
they don't have anything, bankroll got burned out but still wanting to keep playing back.

It reminded me of him when you said that the person thinks of himself as a winner and everyone surrounding them is a loser. Definitely the upbringing.

Gambling is about mood. Even though gamblers have a steady plan by not playing with the amount they can't afford to lose, but when the bad mood came, the plan can be broken. Though it is not always, but based from what I've seen, the tendence for such case to happen is big. Playing gambling is like playing with fire, we can be burned even with a small mistake.
Exactly. One mistake will lead you losing a lot.Gambling is about mood.

Once you lose, you become crazy to recover your losing, you place the next bet without having much thought. Your mind is not working, consistently pushing you to recover your lose. You lose this bet again. Now you are crazy enough to double your stake and you do. Imagine when you lose this as well.
You are down too much.
People must only gamble with amounts they can afford to lose. It sounds stupid but it’s that simple.
An addict don't follow any rule. Once they have money they want to multiply it. Eventually they lose it and go back to the home empty handed. Once people get addicted they don't analyse much they just see the odds and place their bet. I can tell that because I was addicted to gambling. I lost a lot but used to felt nothing at all. I used to place bet just seeing the odds.

Odds is also a danger factor in gambling we all know that, but yes you are very right with that. Addiction is the most dangerous factor in terms of gambling because of the unstoppable betting you bet everything even your soul when you get addicted into gambling. That is the most thing that I feared whenever I am gambling I never chase the lost that I made but atleast I do balance gambling and try to cover my loss.

Perhaps most addicts do not understand that only few people win in a game of chance . Maybe they understand that playing multiple times can increase one's chances of winning...this often leads addiction.
I guess it will be painful to see a new player winning at first try
Well, that's true. People never have the mind accepting everyone cannot win. However continuous participation will lead towards improvement in making strategies as well for selecting the right odds. In most cases addiction happens when they loss on consecutive events. By the time, if he gives a break and analyze about the mistake done he might win in the next match. But the addiction won't let him to do it, but forces him to pay additional amount to retain back the loss happened with the previous event.

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.

somehow i agree with this certain topic, the more you can control yourselves from gambling, the more you are winning, because the more you gamble, the more chances you will get lose. Its simple, just be moderate in gambling, just make it from time to time not everytime.
The best thing you can do in gambling is only controlled yourselves, you are not greedy and will stop if you win some money. The more you gamble, the more chance you will lose, it is a wise sentence, but unfortunately, not many gamblers won't listen to that
We still playing gambling even we know the chances to become addicting will wide open, but some of us always remember that they need to get out from the gambling as soon as possible if something goes wrong.
The new gambler will have a bigger chance to win in their first-time gamble, and maybe they can win in the second and third round. But they cannot always win in the next round because the house will do something to prevent them from winning again. It's time for the house to take over their balance without they realize. I know some friends who were having good self-control in gambling, but for a long playing, finally, they lose their control, and in the end, they go home without any money at all. And they start to play in the next day and the long-term, they are starting to become addicted. It's a sad story for them, and I still remind this as a lesson for me.

It is true, that addiction is really the main problem with gambling and being greedy as well, so many people playing gambling because they wanted to win a jackpot or they wanted to win big money. A lot gamblers are losing a lot of money because of this and once we are addicted it is now hard for us to control or manage our emotions.Yes, as the title says, I see a lot of negativity here with many people complaining.

But thats the way why gambling becomes addiction when people becomes immune in odds and take this as a challenge,from that point a normal or regular gambler turns addicted.this is what I realized being a former gambler and from other friends stories.but you are certainly right on your opinion
No, addiction will not going to happen if you only have to plan well your gambling activities. This will be possible of you will going to set your priorities. Make sure that your family is number 1 and playing or any leisure comes next. In this way it will help you to control yourself. Besides, one can also have a good strategy like bringin exact money use to bet. Enough money is alright for betting.
What you are saying is for the person that has a capacity of controlling their mind and behavior but thats why there are only percent in every hundreds who become addict,because they cant control themselves from being addicted
