Topic: The danger is the addiction, not the odds - page 7. (Read 21919 times)
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".
Gambling addiction is a difficult subject to discuss.
People must only gamble with amounts they can afford to lose. It sounds stupid but it’s that simple.
Never, ever gamble with money required for bills etc. If you need help there are organisations that can be found via a quick google search.

Until unless the gambler done want to get out of his addiction i dont think that this organisations will also help them. But i think that Odd mainly matters in addiction. Because once they win in high odd so they think to bet on it and then their loss starts it.
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.

That is the problem I always see with the gamblers I usually see. They keep on gambling even though they know themselves that they have nothing to gamble. When I was addicted in the past, that is the usual thing for me, why? Well I always think that I will be able to get all of that losses when I continue to gamble being positive to that. I am so lucky to have my family and my partner supporting me the time I wanted to go out of that addiction, it really helped me out.
It is really sad looking at this people.
They are still keeping on gambling even though they already know what is the danger ahead. I warned some people I knew about it and what they are saying is just that they will be able to control it, that they will not be that long on gambling but in the end they still get addicted. Greediness and Pleasure is really bad for us if it is that much.
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.

Addiction is the result of greed.
If you get greedy, you end up with being addicted.
You get greedy because you want to get rich. The only way to get rich is ripping of the house but you cannot do it because the house secured itself greatly against greedy people. If the house was insecure, it wouldn't exist. If the house is always a winner, who is going to lose? It is you.
If you are able to think about this basic logic, you will never get addicted.
Actually this applies to every other investment too. That's why the pros advise us to diversify our investments. That's why they are avoiding all-in/all-out type movements. Making Investments and gambling has a lot in common than many people think.

Not just odds or addictions or anything else that you are having in gambling but the whole of gambling itself more dangerous for your health and wealth both.
If odds are in your favor then you may win and then you will want to repeat the process as you will eye for another easy money. Just a basic human mentality. If odds are not in your favor then you will not try gambling ? If not trying then you may escape but most gamblers will go for trying it by believing into their luck where is the dangers of gambling start finding you. With losses also you may not stop as you will push yourself to get back your losses. Just another basic human nature.
How a gambler gets addicted regardless of how favor the odds are. Because, they will keep gambling on the event of both loss and profits. This is the point where gambling dangers get into playing with you. Odds may decide your profit or losses but keep gambling will get you all the dangers of gambling.

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.

Yes, addiction in combination with greediness is a major problem. I often see people who are lucky and able to win a lot of money. But instead of withdrawing and cashing out the winning money, they keep gambling because they think they can get even a higher profit. Greed and addiction are two things that will never give a good ending for those who live it.

So you know the being greed is not good for every gambler, you have an important lesson from your loses and it could help your friend if they decide to play too long. It is better to know that we cannot recover the losing of the money even if we use big money as a bet. But all in all, we need to prevent from being greedy itself so we save the money because it is better than lose money
Now thats the point. If you would compare the life of an occassional gambler and an addict, you would tell the difference. You see, even the addict spent more time in casino, they are more often to loss money than to win the jackpot. They will try again next time until they dont have anything left. The occassional gambler, although they lost, they didnt take that as big deal and didnt burry themselves deeper.
So called "addicts" in gambling displays more eagerness and willingness to play maybe because it is already their passion or maybe because of greed (unsubconsciously of course). On the other hand, occasional gamblers usually just play for fun or maybe just pushing their luck — only a on shot, big shot attempt. Actually they both loss and they both but you can't conclude that the addict lose more money than the occasional gambler because we don't know their way of betting. Who knows if the addict make only small bets but more frequent and the other one make very huge bets in a single time only? So for me, the main difference between them is just the intensity of how they're hooked in playing.
I still don't get it while people complain about gambling when in the right place, you know what you are getting into. Its only when it is proven that the gambling site is not fully transparent in its activities then its not a fair win for the other party. Other than that, its a game that both sides hope to win. The same people who would complain that they are losing might be part of the bank-rollers of the site if they are not winning or getting return on their investment on the site. The point is, if you are not ready to lose and e comfortable with it, don't move any where close to gambling.

Addiction is a state of mind, especially in gambling! The addiction strikes when a person thinks that gambling is a way to earn living. That's totally wrong because gambling is not a method of making money, it is only a way of entertainment. Those who take gambling as the way it is, they usually don't become addicted. The problem starts when someone takes it as a method of making money and recover their early losses.
So for me, the danger is when gambling is portrayed wrongly as a method of making money instead of an way of entertainment! Odds depend on the personal risk taking capability.

I agree with your phrase that addiction is the danger and not the odds but these two variables are strongly correlated.
The odds are not in favor of you in order to play and play all the time because you think that you will win one time. But every time you lose and you bet again you get more addicted to gambling. Every individual who bets is somehow addicted (in my opinion). The best way to tackle it is self-control and by that, I mean that you don't have to bet all your savings. Lock the biggest portion and gamble with a small one. If you are lucky you will still win and make a profit.
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.
The issue is lies with the people, people always want to win no matter what the odds is, gambling addiction is more to the greed, it doesn't got anything to do with odds, because the odds is always better for the house and the gamblers know it, but yet they still play and hopes to win every time, the gambling addiction happen because of lack self control
