Topic: The danger is the addiction, not the odds - page 6. (Read 21919 times)
Agree with that much addiction is dangerous for gambling. It's not only gambling everywhere its appropriate. But to be honest somhow we are little bit addicted somewhere. Like someone on gambling someone on trading and so on. But I know gambling addiction isn't normal addiction. If in case gambler losed money and he don't have money to play next game then he will be made for borrow from somewhere. I have experienced on offline as well on online also. So prevent addiction isn't easy on gambling although all we are not addicted yet.
Everyone is getting into gambling with the confident of controlling themselves and managing their gambling activities into big profits and then having a millionaire life. If all their expectations are happening then there will be no possibility of having an industry in the name of gambling. Gambling is a highly illusional one and most of the gamblers are finding themselves into the problems of gambling because gambling is that much dangerous one.
Gambling is known for collapsing all your plans and confident hence you cannot expect to remain yourself while gambling because you will become a completely different person once started with gambling and you will never find chances to execute your original plan as nothing will go on your way. Losing self control and listening to our emotions are the usual things every gambler will experience once they start with gambling.Expecting unrealistic things from gambling is the core reason why gamblers are getting addicted. Coming back to the point of OP, due to the involvement of houses in terms of odds, gamblers are struggling to find success against the house. And this become a reason why they keep trying with gambling and it is becoming as a habit and then addiction.
the danger thing always there for us to solve we need to solve them with our mind and control if we were not ready for that we cannot definitely get into gambling field because it will always be like that if you had the ability to overcome you can definitely do it.
Are you sure ? Who had the ability to overcome the dangers of gambling ? Those gamblers who are able to control themselves ? If so, for how long and why not they bother about controlling themselves for not continuing with gambling ? Your view is just theoretical and when you experience in real time, I believe you will change your opinion for sure.Everyone is getting into gambling with the confident of controlling themselves and managing their gambling activities into big profits and then having a millionaire life. If all their expectations are happening then there will be no possibility of having an industry in the name of gambling. Gambling is a highly illusional one and most of the gamblers are finding themselves into the problems of gambling because gambling is that much dangerous one.
The addiction is the dangerous part of gambling, and we could not realize if we are addicted or not because we are too busy playing the game. And I guess we will realize about the addicting when we don't have anything inside us, and we are shocked to know how much money we use in gambling. But we have a way to stop gamble depends on how strong we want to stop and I am sure if we think about our life, we can stop no matter how hard it is.
do you think players dont know if they have become addicts? I dont think so, of course they know they are addicts, because they are too busy playing? the point of this thread is not how you try to stop. we compare which are more dangerous odds or addiction, I think both are equally dangerous. not only eagerness to win but also the willingness to make fun . yes most of us enjoy gambling in order to past the time but if they hooked in the game too much they didnt even realize that they are already addicted on playing . every game do also have a different set of odds . lottery has a higher odds while most online gambling do have a lower odds which we can easily beat them but then again addiction will suddenly strike to us .
When I gamble I always fall for the odds even though I know that winning this odd has less chance. Here is another problem I face. When I lose I double or triple (even more) the bet and if I lose that then I do the same.So I found both the odds and chasing is the cause of gambling addiction.

This, is of course not good
martingale, can be good to win money short term but dangerous if you use this strategy too many times.

Not just addiction but also the greediness of people to win against the odds. This is the reason why gambling sites these days are very lucrative, greediness and eagerness to win makes people addicted to gambling.

Addiction is indeed the worst thing a gambler might be able to achieve. the reality now is that addiction can damage a person's life, but in my opinion addiction can be avoided as long as we can consider gambling as an entertainment. make our minds relax and not to get a pressure, because with the pressure to always get money it will trigger addiction. control ourselves as well as possible and keep the level of emotional and patience we have. we will succeed from gambling when we can control ourselves as well as possible.Absolutely agree with you, we need to remember that gambling is only a game which money involve. Sometimes we win, sometimes we loss, that's it. We don't have to play more and more because of the money attracting because we don't know when we can win the money, and it's better to do something else which can give us money. I still learn to control myself because I am not a perfect person who could always control myself.
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.

My thinking is that there is more at play than danger when games are
being played. Exoectation, hope, excitement, adrenaline, comradeship,
desperation and fear are all emotions which can affect the player.
I know people who are greedy but never gamble, they are greedy but at the same time reasonable.
Greedy people will go for gambling more frequently and due to the reason of sticking with gambling they may get addicted not just due to the reason of being greedy. But, being greedy is the core reason why they are gambling and finally getting addiction.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.
When greedy people are challenging houses for making more profit, those aggressive people are challenging gambling houses for recovering their losses. At the bottom line, if you have emotion failure while gambling and you cannot control yourself then addiction is the result. No one could escape from this. Being ego is also kind of emotion failure. But, it is a new thing being discussed in gambling board hence need more information regarding this before for sharing what exactly it should be.the danger thing always there for us to solve we need to solve them with our mind and control if we were not ready for that we cannot definitely get into gambling field because it will always be like that if you had the ability to overcome you can definitely do it.

I find it especially true with online BTC gambling after a bit more of thinking.
It's not the case for real life casino as there is lots of process (actually going to the casino and all) and the odds are really low. But online gambling is both easy and with high odds so it's really easy to just get addicted to it.

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.

Playing with heart at the place of mind and not using your brains, trying to recover the old losses and not changing your mindset will definitely make you a loser in the end. Gambling is another name of loss when addiction strikes in, doing it for fun with the money you can afford to lose (i.e.; money you won't regret for if you lose it, like when it gets slip from your pocket while you're in a hurry or when there's too much crowd) can only save you from the worst results as I've seen many going bankrupt due to this addiction thing. There's a saying in my country - "Gambling is for nobody".
Good point, if gambling being played well without emotions you can be free being addicted, the point of doing it just for fun and not for anything else using your spare money that you can afford to lose is far better than using this venue as a source of income, addictions starts when too much engagement are occur,when you are ready losing your money to have some fun and not to keep everything inside your minds and regrets when you suffer defeats. 
You have a point but i always tells depends on the people how gambling they treat their lives to enjoy for fun not to assume get fast earning,
if people gambling treated as job surely they goes into addiction.
It's hard to have fun in a casino when you're losing money if it's a small enough where it's not a big deal it might be fun but overall it's tough to enjoy gambling when you're on the losing side. if people gambling treated as job surely they goes into addiction.
i dont think that this organisations will also help them.
Why not ? If you can't help yourself might as well reach out to them. There are other ways to stop gambling addiction and if everything else doesn't work this is probably the last option. It's not a guarantee fix for everyone but it does help some people with their addiction.
