Certainly casinos will always hope their customers loses their bet in order for them to make more profit, and if you ask why they gift out jackpot to some lucky customers, the answer is simply because that is among the advertisement strategy they are using to draw more gamblers into using their service. And with the hope of hitting the jackpot more gamblers would want to have experience with the casino or gambling platforms. And that's how they shift their interest from one casino to the other, but the major fact still remains that, the house would always be the winner when it comes profit or loss. There are several casinos that have enough traffic upto thousands of user placing their bet on a single casino game that last for only some seconds.

You are right for gamblers who already know the bad effects in gambling they will try to control themselves in gambling as best they can because they do not want them to be too down in a life that is very miserable due to the bad effects.
And if they meet new gamblers they will try to give advice on the experiences they have had because the bad experience should be a good lesson and not behave badly in carrying out gambling activities.
They don't wants to lose control when they playing gambling because they already knows what the effect that they will gets. They will not lets themselves lose their money by playing gambling as that can makes them feels angry and that can makes them to recovers their lose which is difficult to do. Their lives will be miserable when they lose much money in gambling and that can makes their lives ruins and lose everything they had. They will suggests people who playing gambling to be careful and always uses limitation in gambling because once they lose their money and can't control themselves, they will gets deeper in gambling without have a chance to gets out from gambling. That's why they will always try to control themselves and not trying to use much money to playing gambling.

I think most houses will want people to lose control and spend it all
since it's the most profitable outcome for them
specially for recurring users, the ones that lost it all and deposit more to keep betting, these are probably the best ones for the house, even more if they are high net worth individuals.

If you are going to gamble, you should be prepared for losses even before you start gambling. Losses in gambling is an integral part of the game, which makes us experience a whole range of emotions during the gambling session. It should be understood that promotions and bonuses are just a marketing move to attract attention and not all of them give some advantage to the gambler, so this issue should be studied independently, rather than believe advertising. You do not buy all the goods that are advertised on television or the Internet, why then you should play in the casino, the promotion of which saw?

That's right, gamblers must have good awareness so that they are not easily attracted by the temptations they see in gambling games there, such as promotions that promise big profits, ease of playing to get quick wins, with this, gamblers also need very sharp sensitivity and very precise thinking, especially considering that gambling is just a matter of luck and gamblers are not easy to guess the results.
That's why if gamblers playing gambling, they must stay awake to stay away from the promotion that he doesn't needs to takes. That is to keeps his money and not spends by playing gambling because that can't makes him wins the games easily. The promotion will always change so he doesn't try to takes that but always limits his gambling activity to avoids more losses.

If he can avoids more losses, he will not gets madness of gambling and he will also have a chance to avoids addicted to gambling. It's difficult if someone already getting addicted to gambling because he will forget everything in his life and only wants to playing gambling. The madness will comes to gamblers who can't stops playing gambling because his chance to gets lose will be bigger than he can imagine.

And if they meet new gamblers they will try to give advice on the experiences they have had because the bad experience should be a good lesson and not behave badly in carrying out gambling activities.
The issue is that even if a person knows what are the signs that could indicate they are getting addicted and they have a desire for this to not happen to them, they can still get addicted, this is how strong addiction can be, it is because of this that people should be very vigilant and after each session evaluate if they were able to keep control of themselves at all times, and if this did not happened then they need to wonder why, as not doing so could leave them vulnerable to developing an addiction on the future.
I share some of your views here but they are not particularly true in some cases if I should be frank here. Fine, one may know a thing and also know the danger in it but still be affected by the thing, this is why I understand you very clearly and it could only be termed as the foolishness of the person because no sensible person would know the danger is in a thing and still allows it to affect him, that is unspeakable. But really, if most of the gamblers who are addicted and are so irresponsible were forewarned about gambling with enough practical examples cited for them, many of them would certainly think twice, fight better and not find themselves in the situation they found themselves in, so the forewarning can't be taken lightly.

Except that many will not even give it a thought, all they want is to make money through gambling regardless of whether it is through hook and crook methods. But in the end, they get to be mad and miserable doing it. And even with the evaluation exercise you suggested, gamblers can be very affected still, especially if their mind is on the money they want to make through gambling. The only solution I know is for them to build their willpower to say no when gambling is messing with them and they can only do this if they can nurture a strong mind.

The problem with gambling addiction is not that it exposes the person to successive losses, but rather because the pattern of gambling practice as a behavioral habit becomes dangerous over and over again. This means that if anyone practices the same habit (assuming it is not a harmful habit) at the same accumulated frequency, he will fall into what psychology calls “behavioral addiction.”

Behavioral addiction is one of the most dangerous types of addiction, even if it does not expose its owner to material losses. The harms of addiction are not limited only to financial losses, but go beyond it to become a psychological habit that harms the behavior and psychological character of the person and affects all aspects of his life.

On this basis, I consider this application (the topic of discussion) to be useful for gamblers who suffer from excessive gambling addiction and do not have means of assistance.

Well what you say is something much more Delicate , and in the world there are people who have that condition of taking things like that, I think that that is the type of person who ends up stealing or doing anything just to play, to get money and go play, for the Assistance of that type of condition I think there has to be someone who can take care of him or her in the required attention, because he or she can end up hurting someone, be it family, friends, or even the same society where he or she lives, because a person like that can be Classified as dangerous and that is where things get more delicate, I have seen cases where the person ends up committing Suicide.


Gambling addiction can be devastating to individuals and families. These addicts spend large amounts of money and their time gambling without thinking about the consequences. Symptoms of addiction can be monitored by observing these behaviors repeated in a person’s life, who is often in a state of complete denial of those changes in his personality that will begin to reshape according to the needs of addiction.

Psychological support and treatment should be directed to these people to help them overcome their addiction and regain their lives. I take this opportunity to remind about the need to deal with caution with these gambling addicts, especially if they are family members or closed friends. If someone wants to provide help, maybe he can focus on these points:
- Try to motivate gambling addicts to go to a professional doctor and suggest the benefits they will get from treatment. (Not that easy at start)
- You must speak kindly and respectfully to the addict and show them that you care about their health and well-being. (Closed friend or ur beloved)
- Try to provide support and self-help to the addict, for example by providing information about treatment and self-support. (Always be near to him)
- Do not lose hope even if addicts refuse treatment. Try again and provide constant support and encouragement. (If the person really counts to you)

What you say is very good advice, however the ideal will always be for the addict to be seen by a professional doctor, be it a psychiatrist, Psychologist or whoever is more qualified. Sometimes these types of treatments are expensive, but they are worth it The problem is when the addicts are low-income or middle-class people who still cannot have the money to pay for their treatments because no matter how much Advice they get from a doctor like this, they will always be in demand.

Personally, I will always say that when it comes to making an Effort to get Better , it is worth it , and that you should look for the money. However, many addicts cannot get better quickly due to lack of money for their Treatments.

There is no guarantee that gamblers can be rich and successful at gambling even if they feel that their winnings don't last long even though in percentage terms their losses are much more than the winnings they get. It should be exactly as you said that every gambler should limit their budget more when gambling and control himself so that he doesn't gamble beyond his limits and eventually becomes addicted to gambling. We have found many crazy gamblers out there who have gone bankrupt because of gambling.

Yes, gambling is not a place to make money and gamblers will lose a lot of money there, so if there is a gambler who says that he has a lot of money and his life is getting better because of the victory he got at that time, quite a lot, then actually consider the victory as a replacement for the money he lost from gambling in the previous days and if collected, does the victory exceed the money he lost due to frequent defeats? This must be observed carefully.


Awareness is needed when someone playing gambling so he can stay awake from the temptation in gambling and can prevents himself not to takes the promotion he see in the casino. He will be able to avoids the mistakes because he can see that promotion can makes him gets deeper in gambling without he realizes. Many people already drag into gambling deeper without they realizes that they used much money to fills their hunger to playing gambling.

That's right, gamblers must have good awareness so that they are not easily attracted by the temptations they see in gambling games there, such as promotions that promise big profits, ease of playing to get quick wins, with this, gamblers also need very sharp sensitivity and very precise thinking, especially considering that gambling is just a matter of luck and gamblers are not easy to guess the results.

The point is if gamblers are aware of the high risk of losing a lot of money, then they will be more careful when gambling so as not to make mistakes, namely as you said, they will only gamble if they feel tired and need entertainment to fill the void. And gamblers who have good awareness can control themselves when gambling by limiting the amount of money used in gambling and adjusting the best time to carry out the gambling activity.

That's bad for them because slowly, their finances will reduce until its left without they notice. They will just realizes when they don't have anything left but that's too late to realizes because they lose everything without have a chance to gets it back. Playing gambling excessively will makes them gets deeper and that can gather bad emotions around him and will makes him waste his money without stops.

Maybe there are some people who are aware of the risks but they ignore them by thinking that the risks can be eliminated if they continue playing, even though this clearly makes them addicted to gambling in the end, in fact many people have lost a lot of money and gone bankrupt because of gambling but they ignore the real facts. they see people who lose but think that they could be luckier even though they are not at all, in the end they also lose at gambling on the last game.

Yes, by concluding your opinion above, in my opinion, a gambler tries to control himself in gambling because they know the consequences of the high risk in it if they do it incorrectly and they will feel very uncomfortable if in carrying out the gambling activity they forget or lose control because it is certain that their lives will be destroyed and they do not get pleasure from it, all there is is an unnatural feeling of emotion because they often lose money there.
If they knows the consequences of playing gambling can cause them lose money, they will not try to use much money because they will thinks twice to lose that money. They will playing gambling moderately and only have fun for a while in their spare time. They knows how to limits their money in gambling and will not trying to breaks that limits because that can makes them regrets if they lose much money. They knows that they must becomes wise to treat gambling as entertainment so they will not spends much money just to fills their spare time. They can accept the outcomes that they will gets from gambling because they understand that gambling can gives big lose if they don't limit their money. So they will not wants to spends much money in gambling instead just use the money they can afford to lose to prevents the big lose.

Yes, by concluding your opinion above, gamblers must be able to consider and compare what to do and what to leave so that gamblers will slowly begin to learn to develop their abilities including good behavior in gambling. Because what you said is true, addiction is indeed very dangerous in the life of a gambler because addiction to a gambler's life will be increasingly miserable, therefore gamblers must always be vigilant and wise about the activities and actions that will be taken in gambling.

They don't wants to lose control when they playing gambling because they already knows what the effect that they will gets. They will not lets themselves lose their money by playing gambling as that can makes them feels angry and that can makes them to recovers their lose which is difficult to do. Their lives will be miserable when they lose much money in gambling and that can makes their lives ruins and lose everything they had. They will suggests people who playing gambling to be careful and always uses limitation in gambling because once they lose their money and can't control themselves, they will gets deeper in gambling without have a chance to gets out from gambling.

It's the adrenaline rush that push you to keep betting even in most time it's already not necessarry but since you are already involve you'll do your best to please that pleasure.
Having a very strong adrenaline then a gambler will appear more aggressive and confident in every taking and doing an action because on the basis of wanting to achieve the desired expectations then the gambler will do or show his behavior even though it includes a wrong step because if a gambler is firm in his strong stance then in my opinion they are people who are difficult to advise or give a good and proper understanding and explanation on how to play gambling properly.

If here people are experienced in gambling then most likely they will not be addicted to gambling because they know how to control themselves when gambling so as not to overdo it.
However, for novice or new gamblers they still have little experience so they have not been able to control themselves when playing gambling properly and they do as they please according to their wishes so that they can be fulfilled immediately, namely getting a win even though beginners can play in a week as much as 3-4 times or even every day it is clear that he can be said to be addicted and greedy for victory only and for experienced gamblers when they experience defeat they start to think about stopping immediately for a while to recover from their bad condition.
That's because people here knows how to control themselves and already knows what happens to those who addicted to gambling. They don't wants themselves into that matters so they will do many things to avoids that, including to use small money to playing gambling. They always advices to their friends or family that playing gambling is not for makes money but only for having fun so they don't have to use much money because that can gives more losses. If they meet beginners who wants to playing gambling, they will suggest those people to always limits themselves when playing gambling because they will gets addicted to gambling and the worst is they will forget everything and only wants to playing gambling. They will not lets their relatives becomes addicted to gambling because they knows what the impacts that can happens to their relatives if they becomes addicted to gambling.

And if they meet new gamblers they will try to give advice on the experiences they have had because the bad experience should be a good lesson and not behave badly in carrying out gambling activities.

I get that point, as a gambler who experienced that bad side effects of getting addicted you'll try your best to avoid losing that control again and if ever you meet someone who are involve into gambling sharing that bad experienced will be serve as basis not to let them experience that same thing, you know how bad it is and for sure that if you can stop or if you can guide the person you'll do your best to give them hints to avoid that same thing to happen with them.

It's the adrenaline rush that push you to keep betting even in most time it's already not necessarry but since you are already involve you'll do your best to please that pleasure.

And I think that these two addictions - drugs and problem gambling - have different foundations. Strong dependence on gambling (when a gambler starts selling significant things, lying to friends and collecting debts in dubious organizations) this is a problem of thinking. Depreciation of money. But the problem for an addict is that he wants a certain substance, while money is not so devalued for him.

Are you suggesting that a drug addict can get his substance on a giveaway bases? Same thing is with a gambler, he can't play for free, except someone tends to sponsor them. I think we are on same page in terms of physical actions. I was actually referring to the mental stress gambling addiction causes to a gambler is quite different from that of a drug addict. Talking of the financial effects both still runs short of money. Haven't you seen the speed at which drug addicts tends to sell anything of value that reaches or belongs to them. Thinking about the perspective where your point is lifted from, I'd say that in terms of a drug addict getting engaged freely in drugs with friends that can sponsor his addiction, gamblers can as well play freely on their friend's budget. Is it actually what you mean by a drug addict not getting money devalued?

I have experienced this one and that's one of the family members selling two of my consoles just to satisfy his drug addiction. I think both are just the same but gambling addiction is a more expensive bad habit than drug addiction. A drug addict can literally just go high and will have enough for the whole day while a gambling addict can keep on going without any rest or sleep because he is either chasing his losses or being too greedy to want more profit after a win.
Both will keep on doing it every day and there's no stopping it unless they seek help or rehabilitation. Both can also wreck their brains and they can be mentally stressed if they cannot do their bad habit for a day.
When it comes to effects, I think both also have a number of suicidal attempts or were successful at doing it so comparing them is not that bad at all. Anything that is abused can wreck our lives.
