Upon every gambling decision we are taking, we need to be careful on how we take them in other to have the experience we have also wanted to get while gambling, some gamblers got into what they never planned for because they are being careless about how they are gambling, there are side effects to everything we do, but when we made it a decision to make the our priority in what we do happen to us the right way, we will always be glad we are achieving good and not the other way round in gambling.

Some players always talk about how the game doesn't beat us, but it's very difficult, emotions are things that we can always pretend is easy to control but no, because if it were like that we could control so many things about our body that It would be something great, of course what I think about all this, whenever we are in the presence of doing something great in the casino we must always make it clear that so that the emotions are not affected, we have to be very careful, that is, be organized, I know that many of us feel disordered, but when it comes to summertime, we must be very organized, because it is the only way that we do not lose money and that we can say that emotions are controlled up to a certain point and that certain point is when we must establish the best so that money problems or emotional problems do not affect us.

When we have a balance ready to lose things are different, we know that when that money runs out, well that's where the rest party came, there is no way that things can go back or put in more money or something like that, then It can be seen that when we are undertaking certain activities we must accept them, but especially if we lose the money we are willing to lose, we must accept that we lost, there is no other option, if we win, although we must withdraw and that's it, if there is no other way to do things better because I believe that much more can be done to have the best vision of everything.

When we establish our game model and say that this is the only thing we should do, we must respect our own rules and not start inventing later, due to undefined inventions things can go wrong and everything can go wrong, which is the only thing we can do. it must be done.

When a truth is spoken, never look at who conveys it, but what he conveys. However, a human's tendency is that he always looks at who is saying it, not what he is saying. He didn't seem to accept it if the person who said it was younger than himself and he didn't seem to accept it if the truth came from someone whose level was much lower than himself. And it would be good if those who have been gambling for a long time should be able to remind other gamblers to avoid bad behavior when gambling and avoid the negative impacts of gambling itself. So that those who are new to gambling and have just entered the world of gambling, do not experience the same bad things as they have experienced before.


The winnings he had previously had hypnotized him to continue gambling and hoped that he would again win bigger than before. And this is what makes them keep returning to gambling, even though they often lose.

I think this is all as a result of what our society turned the word "addiction" into, you know, the stigma and all that from the society when they learn or hear that a person is said to addicted to something, this is why most gambling addicts wil never accept that they are addicted, but rather argue and curse who ever accused them of being an addict to gambling.

And even when they themselves find out that indeed, they are addicted  to gambling, seeking help outside is always a problem because, they are afraid of what people would say or how they will be treated when the society find out that they are receiving treatment for gambling addiction, so because of this, they rather would lock themselves up and for how to help themselves by themselves.
I know this because I have someone who have been there, that is he went through this experience, he only opened up to me because he trusted me.

This I believe is the reason why some or most gambling addicts are hiding themselves, rather than going out there to seek for solution to their problem.

That makes sense, even though there are gamblers who say they are seniors in gambling, there's no harm in listening to the advice they give, but in my opinion, someone who gambles will of course give bad directions, such as inviting them to continue gambling, because that's the same thing. both like gambling. This has become a normal and common case, because many people gamble for that purpose. If they really want to gamble, they must be prepared for the money they use to be lost.

That's right, maybe some of them only think about winning, even though they always lose gambling, they still gamble because they only think about winning. if they can look at the losing side maybe they won't gamble excessively,  and in my opinion they should also gamble with limits because it is not advisable to gamble excessively  it will only get them trapped in a gambling addiction and will destroy their lives in the future.

At a normal level of awareness, very few people would think they carry emotional and psychological diseases in their bodies, all symptoms are attributed to stress and fatigue, there is no concept of disease, disease is something too bad, impossible to accept and gambling addicts also have the same philosophy, they become more impatient and conflictual when someone encourages them to go to counseling and therapy. Counseling and medical examination need to be coordinated but unfortunately gambling addicts do not disclose their truth, their label is very normal, just a little bad in economic aspect

Gamblers who chase losses are not doing the right thing, it's a means of mismanaging their bankroll and gambling routine. When gambling with a plan, the process gets out of hand once the reason to win more erupts, which isn't the right strategy for a gambler to follow. We all need to understand that gambling is not a form of winning big money or things related to it, most people who followed such route ended up being addicted or losing control in the process. Hence, staying out of such thoughts would make us good gamblers and reduce the high rate of addicted people in the gambling niche. I'd also add that if anyone begin to act strangely, especially gamblers, following up with some questions and treatment would do a great deal in saving the person from getting to a level worse as punishing his family.

The trouble starts once the gambler begins to feel he's not getting things right or isn't good enough to win or get victory in gambling. Humans most times when not winning in any activity they find themselves into would begin to have a low self-esteem. Thereby, increasing their chances of engaging in any method or strategy just to win. As gamblers those thoughts, shouldn't be taken as necessary since it requires that the gambler enjoys his time while gambling. And forget about winning big in the process. If it's the time for the gambler to win, he'd definitely win, and then struggle with managing the money. One trouble most gamblers would need to bypass or go through while gambling. Some end up mismanaging it and ruining their financial economy.

Well that is something that always takes the lead in every sense, when we are looking for a way of doing things to have a better performance in everything because we dedicate ourselves to looking for strategies, and different ways to be profitable in the game, it is not that it is so easy, but it is not that difficult either, which is just as you say, because there are people who are very lucky or who have a lot of luck, in fact there are people who have enviable luck for many, and well, those things are the What they do so that they can make a difference, sometimes only with pure strategies can some results be achieved, obviously things are about pure luck, well it's another thing, and although for the strategies you also need a lot of luck we must do our best so that things are strictly necessary with less luck..

But gambling is something else, we in gambling cannot say that if we know a lot of strategies then we have everything insured because it is not like that, sometimes luck can give us a lot of money, and also take it away from us, it is something that I sometimes see with different eyes And yes, when we evaluate it in another way, things can be very strict if we look at ourselves from a point of view that always leaves us with money ready to lose, well, we are fine, but if we have a good balance I am willing to lose. , but if it is with a balance that is not controlled and dangerous, because by looking for good luck all our luck can go to one side, and we will not achieve anything, in this order of ideas we will always have many ways to do to being able to make money, but playing in a controlled manner, that is why it is said that intelligent gambling does not only consist when one is playing, but before playing and for me the most intelligent thing a person can do is allocate a balance willing to lose, In the casino you always have to try to get ahead.

If there were lots of responsible gamblers, maybe we wouldn't find gamblers who are addicted to gambling, that's why gamblers have to listen to every advice from senior gamblers wherever they are and look at it from this perspective, where gambling requires limits, the more restricted they are, the more they can prevent themselves. From gambling addiction, on average, gamblers always want to recover their losses, just because they don't accept the losses they experience, that's why many gamblers lose a lot of money.

If only gamblers knew that losing was part of gambling, maybe they would accept every defeat they experienced in gambling, because there are not only wins in gambling, it is important to understand and understand the meaning of defeat in order to be able to deal with it well. Most gamblers like that usually won't gamble responsibly because they can't accept their losses. One thing they have to understand is that playing gambling should be for fun and as entertainment. If their mindset is like that, I'm sure they will gamble responsibly.

People lives and opportunities gotten in life varies. Some people are just more lucky than others and it’s just the way life is. There are people who have won considerably more than others, there’s no doubt about that and I agree. But I don’t think an individual could be so lucky and go on to have more wins than losses through out his entire gambling history.
No matter how lucky you a gambler is, I don’t think it could happen and I haven’t really heard anyone who actively gambles having more wins than losses. If someone like that happens to exist, that’s a lucky person for sure.

It's true, I myself when I'm gambling, sometimes I'm accompanied by a friend who I really need him when gambling, because when I get a win, I'm always reminded to cash it in, because of the risks that will occur if I continue gambling. it's actually difficult to be able to refrain from the temptation of gambling, because it's very interesting, especially when you get a win, the most thing in mind is to increase the amount of bets and continue gambling, but that's very risky.

I agree with you, indeed most gamblers are irresponsible and do not know the limits when gambling, so it is rare that there are gamblers who can be properly responsible for the gambling they do. what must be considered is that the chances of winning at gambling are very slim compared to the chances of losing, so we should gamble with limits without having to continue gambling so that it makes us lose a lot of money, and of course that doesn't want to happen. With those who want to recover their losses I hope they can see this side, because with this maybe they will realize that victory in gambling is difficult to get, and if they have won it is better to make the best use of it.

Even if gambling addict has job and weekly or monthly income, with gambling addict who doesn't have job or income, in the end they are the same, namely experiencing destruction which is really very difficult, nothing is easy in the case of gambling addiction.
But things are different if gambling addict can immediately realize their addiction and are able to try to cure the addiction they are experiencing, no gambler will really be able to get through the addiction period happily because their mindset is different.
Gambling addicts will always have ambition and also sense of optimism regarding their opinions regarding their hopes in gambling, they try to earn money and will spend it in betting sessions so that they will never achieve any success.
When they get big win or jackpot, they will also spend it on betting again, they feel they will get larger amount of additional capital to continue their gambling craze.
This is very unfortunate and incidents like this are truly very sad.

We know that the usual severity of an addicted gambler is that it destroys the financial aspect, like, for example, a gambler who is fired from his job due to an uncontrollable gambling addiction. Of course, when they lose their job, even if we say there is, the savings they have accumulated can gradually disappear because they think they will get lucky playing gambling.

In addition to that, the severity of a gambling addiction is also damaging to having mental and health problems that usually end up in stress, depression, abuse, and sometimes even lead to a suicide situation. And, of course, when a gambler is in this condition, he needs counseling and therapy.

It is true, sometimes we can know and conclude whether the person has a good or bad approach to gambling from the final results or what impact they experience, we can see this especially in their current finances, if they often experience problems with their finances such as not being able to meet the costs of their needs then obviously we can conclude that he has a bad approach to his gambling involvement. On the other hand, gamblers who always act impulsively in gambling I believe they are one of the gamblers who misunderstand what is meant by winning opportunities, they think that it is easy to get, when in fact it is very difficult unless they are really in good luck, but still the name of luck will only come occasionally and there is absolutely no consistent element in it. Because they have a wrong understanding of gambling, this really makes them act out of control or act impulsively so that over time the amount of defeat is even greater without them realizing it. So in my opinion for this problem what must be corrected is the mindset, understanding and point of view on gambling by understanding the real facts about gambling, because otherwise this cycle will continue.

Outcomes and results would really be that determined whether you would really be doing bad or good into the things that you have done. If you do let yourself that being too engaging with
gambling and make those kind of spending on an impulsive manner then expect on what would be the results on which it would really be that negative. If you are really that mindful about those good things and bad things on which it would really be just that right that you should really that know on what to do. You cant really just that make yourself that let to those negative things to happen into your life. There are people who could really be able to make themselves get out and there are ones who do let themselves getting wrecked with it.

It is a misconception that gambling is all luck, won't you learn and know what you are doing and do it the way you want to do it? For you to have done that, then you have provided the needed effort, you can't be calling everything about gambling luck. People are only expressing it that they are lucky when what they plan and do in gambling works well at that time. This is pure winning if you win and you should be happy and still treat yourself fairly because your instinct and effort paid off and not only luck. Aside from that, it is all about the random allowance by the house, and one of the reasons why I will not call it luck is that even though what some others planned to play would have worked if not for the house who knew how to tweak things in their favour while those who played at times believed to have done it wrongly.

At least, this is applicable to many aspects of gambling but not all, and of course, some actually depend on your luck and the fate you would suffer or be lucky with it at that time. And for the house to keep the business running, they will surely not allow everybody to win, this might have been done through the source's algorithm from the beginning and not as many would think. This is why a low percentage of people are winning in gambling, still, the 1% you called is too small, I am certain that it can't be lower than 5%, and even way bigger than that. If the house is still parting ways with 75% of people's money and letting people gain 25%, I do not think it is still bad.

I've got no experience about the prisons, but it seems prisoners engage in some form of games, to keep themselves busy. However, don't know what would be used in exchange for money, it could be their meal. Such cases as that of the man in Op's description, would leave him serving multiple years in prison. Which means he'd be very old before he gets out of the prison custody. However, being in prison, may not change the man's attitude, but his aging bodies won't let him think about gambling anymore. The addict on the story of Barikui1 may have found himself in a cruel situation, where he thinks his life wouldn't work without gambling. If he had double addictions, it's way too high for a person to control. Such a player would have been taken to a clinic or rehab before he got himself into the condition.

The problem with most gamblers is that, though right, not everyone feels he'd be in similar situation as the stories we've read or seen happen. Anybody can be that way, but not all gamblers. Gamblers train themselves differently, and lots of players think about whatever they're into and how they'll benefit through it on the long run. It has never been easy battling with the urge to gamble more which leads to addiction. But it's like an obligation, where one needs to understand his need for being responsible in every aspect of his life activity. Every gambler owes himself the responsibility for his actions. So, going against our wills to stay responsible will only ruin the life of the gambler to a destructive one, which ends up bringing down a successful family.

It is a mistake if they spend their income to gamble because they will not have any more money and will have difficulty meeting their daily needs. Those who want to gamble should be able to allocate a certain amount of money to be used for gambling so that they still have another amount of money to use for their daily needs. That is to avoid gambling addiction because we know that people who gamble have the possibility of returning to gambling another day. And if they can allocate some money, they won't try to take part of the money for other purposes. They will still have a chance to win from the amount of money allocated for gambling, but when they win, they should immediately stop gambling to avoid things that could make them gamble again. But if they decide to gamble again and lose, it will make them frustrated.

Yes people who have jobs and have weekly or monthly income spend all that income on gambling but in this case they destroy their careers they don't do any unethical things with people. Here are those gamblers who participate in gambling by borrowing from people who are unable to earn money. They become addicted to gambling in such a way that if they do not get money from someone to gamble with, they misbehave with them or commit suicide. And all these gamblers are made up of uneducated people.

This is a wonderful idea. Indeed, we must first of all work with risks, and not count on winning in those games where the element of chance is very large. I read about one trader who, before any big trade, told himself that this time he would make a loss, and possibly a big loss. It was a very funny but useful psychological trick. After all, if you prepare first of all for a loss, then it won’t hurt you so much to learn about it. And vice versa, if you do win, then winning will give you double joy. In addition, this allows you to better control risks in the long term and also prevents excitement from waking up. Overall, this is a technique that can be recommended to everyone.
