That's the hook as a gambler. Also, has that hope that they will make some money while trying to get that entertainment.

I see your point that there are, if not all, who really love to take that risk and expect to make money
from gambling, and like the post above you, if you can be the banker, the chance is for real that you
can make more money, but as a regular gambler the chance is slim.

This is crazy honestly making you to jump as high as possible that they themselves can not jump. This kind of bet is mostly based on your capacity and them trying to use money to lure you to do what you know you might not be able to do successfully. If they know you could easily jump without having any injury, they will never wanted to bet on that but because they believe that you might not be able to jump without having any injury, they decided to bet on you. This kind of bets is always 50/50. You to it and have the money and they are not concerned about if you break your legs, hands or not.

That may be true, but I think there are some of them (rich people) who do gambling, and for the nominal stake it is clear that they will use quite a large amount and that means that their nominal loss will also be large if they do so. unlucky at gambling. To be honest, I never thought that there are people who are really rich just by gambling. We have to understand that gambling is only about luck. They would be able to win if they were really lucky, and that wouldn't always happen. But not least I hear a lot of people who think that they can become rich people just by gambling, it's very unreasonable, how can they become rich people just by relying on luck which has absolutely no consistent word in a win. But for defeat maybe it can be a consistent thing that will always come to them.

Oh, man, dealing with a gambling addiction has taken me through some real rollercoasters. You know, besides those obvious moments of desperately trying to recoup my losses and getting carried away with ridiculously high-stakes bets, there have been times when I got caught up in a web of lies. I found myself fibbing to the people I care about, hiding the extent of my gambling activitise and the amount of money I was throwing away. It's surreal how addiction can drive you to do things you never thought you'd consider.

But hey, I'm not just sitting around feeling sorry for myself. I'm actively taking steps to turn things around. It's a tough journey, no doubt, but I'm committed to seeking help and support to break free from this cycle. It's not somthing that changes overnight, but I'm determined to make these positive changes and rediscover healthier ways to deal with life's challenges. And trust me, it's not just about winning or losing money anymore; it's about regaining control of my life and finding a sense of balance that was lost in the chaos of addiction.

So, yeah, that's a slice of my crazy journey. But I'm hopeful that as I keep moving forward, I'll be able to look back and see how far I've come. It's not going to be easy, but I know Ive got the strength to handle it. One step at a time, right? And if anyone else out thre is struggling with something similar, just know that you're not alone, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We all got this right?!

I think everyone has done silly things when gambling, whether it's playing by inflating bets like crazy or those who play without paying attention to the rules first which in the end leads to defeats and losses. But not everyone can realize this and continue to play and deepen defeat. and most people can realize that when their bankroll is gone and there is no more money to gamble with.

When we are able to realize the carelessness that has been done and are able to evaluate it, then this allows us to become proficient gambling players. Because there are no proficient gambling players who have never experienced defeat and I think that learning from experience is easier. even if evaluating it doesn't make you a reliable player, at least this can minimize losses when playing.

Yeah, but I don't think most people want to play the gambling games just for fun.

I mean, you can play for free on many of those games, but they are by far not as popular as the games with real money involved.

That's the hook, the idea that you can make money.

It's nice to hear a rational explanation of how currency and gaming operate. Right now, I think it's especially important to take a dose of realism with one's unrestrained optimism

Casinos and sportsbooks are notorious for this same reason, as they trick us into thinking our money is not worth what it actually is. But that also seems to be a major selling point. Hoping to win a lot of money while receiving a surge of adrenaline?

While I agree that we should always be cognizant of our bottom line, I can't help but feel that the process would be very dull if we treated ourselves like automatons. Fun and success are equally crucial, right?

Is it not true that in these perilous times, hope, with all its limitations, is what keeps us going? We need a healthy dosage of common sense, but can we just dismiss it altogether?

It's okay if they do things like that, and we also shouldn't be jealous because each of us has a different life with them. After all, we only know their lives from social media and don't know how they live their lives. Perhaps the actual situation is still much better than what we experienced compared to them. This is where we should be grateful for what we have and live. We also don't share all the difficult stories we've experienced so that people don't know what's happening to us. But it's true that people don't share their losing stories at gambling because it will hurt them.

That is very true. Well hopefully, one day, we can make our own casino so we can get rich from gambling

We better not make gambling a hobby, especially since we are not people who have a lot of money. But we can use gambling as entertainment if we don't spend too much money.

Well said, gambling always find it's way to take everything back from them unless they become rich through gambling and they quit forever.

I do have a bad experience years ago, I lost some money to gambling and it affected my relationship with my fiancee, we had a fight that lasted two week before I revealed what happened, I let gambling got the best of me, and since then I've learned to never use more than I can afford to lose and now I am a better gambler because the amount I use is ridiculous in the eye of those that still use thousand dollar to gamble in a casino, this can never be me again, unless a thousand dollar become something I am ready to lose and that is if I am making thousands of dollars.

Absolutely.

There are no rich people gambling at the casinos, and if they are, they probably won't be rich for long.

Some people have a lot of money and manage to spend a lot there consistently, but that's just an expensive hobby.

This shows the importance of financial decision-making without emotion. You're right that financial concerns can cloud judgment and lead to bad decisions. You advised "thinking like a robot," but this isnt always optimum. Instead, we should spend wisely. Financial success is a means to an end. Balance realism and aspiration. Its important to make every dollar count, but money serves us.

when we look at the stories of several people who were addicted to gambling and managed to get out of the habit, we realize that all of them commit crazy things to keep playing, many sold houses without the consent of their wife or husband, and because of that they separated, many they sold their friend's cars without their friend's consent and because of that they were arrested, at the end of the day there are many sad stories that addicts tell, in my country there was a very poor person who won a contest and with that he received a good amount of money , he soon attracted many women and decided to choose the woman with the most beautiful body

he did not analyze the woman's feelings and way of thinking, all he was interested in was sex, breasts and face, that is, he was only interested in the woman's body, spent months spending money on hotels, jewelry he became poor and woman simply abandoned him because he became poor, with all this problem he became addicted and started borrowing money to support his addiction and then he reached the stage of stealing to support his addiction, until he went to live on the street. years have passed and someone managed to get you off the street, by that I mean that most of the time addiction is caused by a lack of strength to deal with real world problems

This is very common, people are very reticent to talk about the bad things that happen to them but they love to talk about their success stories as they like to portray themselves as someone that is a winner at life, and we see this incredibly often on social media, if you take a look at the profiles of people you might think the majority of them have perfect lives as they never post anything negative about themselves, and yet they could be going through a very difficult period of their lives and you will never know about it, if you just take a look at what they share on social media.

It is always good to highlight the positive things about one as a person, but I think that sometimes when it comes to money, apart from being very positive, you also have to have and use reason, reason is super important in every way, because when you see more things like gambling, playing in casinos, we must have robot-like thinking, like, I have this, if I spend this I can't have any more, something like that, because positivism is sometimes bad when used incorrectly, in the In the case of casinos, in trading, it could be called hope, as Wyckoff does in trading, and hope is not good, because hope is mainly in losses, and losses must be cut.

When we are in a casino making bets, or when we make sports bets, our brain opens to another world, where the value of money at that moment is almost forgotten, perhaps because of the amount of money that we see moving in a casino and what other people bet, this is something common, sometimes we have to be aware that our money is very valuable, that is, if we have 1 dollar we have to take care of it and not throw it away making senseless bets that make us lose, Because just as 1 USD is thrown away, we can throw away up to 5 USD and since sometimes 5 USD is not so representative, we do not give it so much importance, we begin to give it importance from 20 USD onwards and it should not be like that, our money We must take care of it, try to multiply it so that in this way and only if we can succeed in a casino, otherwise I see it as very difficult for us to do something with the money, well, losing is the easiest, that's why we cannot get out of control, Sometimes if we are winning we want to win more, but we risk more money and that is a blunder because that is the way to lose everything, as humans we have a brain and we must use that brain to also win, not to prepare for losses, for that reason it is that whenever we play our money for a casino is what we are willing to lose.

But it seems that people who have lost a lot won't want to tell all about their loss. They often tell us when they win a lot of money, and the story will be told repeatedly. Gambling is just a place to get entertainment and not to make money as often as you might think. And if you have got the money, you better get out of gambling immediately. Otherwise, the winnings will be lost if you try to continue gambling to make more money. And if they really want to make a profit, they can try to invest in something they want. And people familiar with cryptos can try investing in bitcoins which are more promising to make a profit.

Debt is the tool people use to enslave others. It's a slippery slope, some people start with a credit card, they max it out, and then they can never escape.

Others get a massive loan for their home that they can never pay and end up as a slave for their home.

And so on.

Debt is a powerful tool, but you need to use it very wisely.

You are lucky it was not a 3th or a 4th floor, though.
That is the kind of dare which I do not see myself doing, unless I am under the influence of alcohol.

The craziest thing I think I have ever experienced was when I visited a cousing and all of the sudden we ended up in a bad place surrounded with people gambling, drinking and almost naked women.

Especially to those who have that in hand experienced with losing a lot in gambling, they can simply share their own stories.

It's not a good place to resort for you finances as gambling will always be a big risk and there's none or a guarantee that you
can make money all the time.

This kind of belief will lead you to make things that are not usual from how you think and with the influence of your desire
the outcome is mostly not in a favorable way, better to invest in the right business to have a decent chance of success.

Why don't you give it a try for the 10th floor it might be easier to get rid of all your craziness lol
I've done crazy things but not as extreme as you, I just threw my cellphone until it broke and I just realized that it was a gift from my lover's cellphone so he had difficulty contacting me at that time and in the end I and he broke up, it really made me destroyed already lost gambling lost lover too.

But after the many defeats that I got from gambling, I started to learn that gambling is not for money, but for fun so that I don't get too hurt and chase losses because of losing money so I can just enjoy the game more relaxed, winning for me is just a bonus, it doesn't make me lose money. that is my main goal in gambling.
