Topic: THERE ARE TWO THINGS INVOLVED - page 4. (Read 635 times)

To sum it up - gambling can be fun, but you're risking money for a reason.  Sometimes you win, often you lose.  Because casinos profit from people losing not winning. The key is having the self-control to quit while you're ahead.

But as others have already noted, maybe you could use paragraphs next time. 

Well, every option has its own positive or negative outcome. Wise decision making is a must. Furthermore, if you want to have an edge as a gambler, learn to set limits and set amount of profits for you to satisfy. You can’t just gamble everytime and expect profits afterwards, that is not gambling anymore. At some point, learn to say no to gambling when you have had enough profits to gain.

In all honesty, gambling is not design to make us rich, but to make the casino house richer while leaving us with poor finances. If you happen to make decent profits, that’s just temporary luck, afterwards all your profits will gradually return to the casino again if you don’t leave the casino immediately.

What you post lacks paragraphs. If you have added paragraphs appropriately, your post will be better and good to read, instead of it being like a block of texts.

Although not well written but what you are saying is true. People should do what will make them to gamble responsibly and not looking for ways to chase losses or wasting money on gambling.

The problem started with people that are greedy and finding ways to make money from gambling.

That’s the summary of your text pretty much. People don’t know when to say “enough”. It doesn’t matter if they are losing or winning. They can’t have enough of losing just like they can’t have enough of winning. When they are winning they think they’ll take over the planet and become the king of earth. When they are losing they’ll be losing everything even their family heirlooms. That’s a psychological problem many people share imo and it needs to be treated.

The casinos are not the only ones that abuse these sick people sadly. Even the candy stores do it. Have you seen a kid that doesn’t want to eat one more chocolate? I haven’t. The idea is the same, we stop only when something catches on fire or breaks.

One last game, one last fuck.

Why the op wrote is a clear example of an addicted gambler. The one who lacks sef control, as a gambler if you set aside money for gambling purpose alone and you only mess around with that money you kept, you'll be, but the moment you decide to start collecting other money or even go as far as taking loan, you are addicted. The only solution is to admit and realize that you are getting yourself into the worse experience as a gambler and make the possible moves to change that mindset or behavior else, you'll just live to find out that you have sold your house for gambling.

While what you wrote is correct, you might try writing it a little different next time you post. That whole wall of text looks like 1 big run on sentence and is going to lose your readers interests fast. Just something to think about for the future.

No. Well at least for me.

The gambling is something that has to do with countless things... let's start there, then, you don't start betting the moment you literally do it, that is the first mistake.

Since, first of all and regardless of religion , beliefs, being a good son, husband, father, and in general fulfilling your responsibilities is your first big bet.

Consequently, the first bet you make is with yourself, so, if you don't know yourself, or you have doubts, the other best thing you can do is pay for a consultation with a person who does coaching, or a psychologist, who will evaluate your mental abilities to understand if you can enjoy gambling without addictions.

Now, even if you feel good with the previous two, your results are never measured by a single value (+.-), it is the long term.

That's indeed one funny but true rollercoaster ride my friend. This is actually what's going on in the gambling industry. Many gamblers have been here in this spot before and they can confirm that it's not a very sweet experience. This is why gamblers should always make the right choices when gambling because on the long run, you'll always have a choice to make and if you eventually make the wrong choice, you'll have yourself to blame at last as the consequences would be very awful.

When someone puts in money into gambling, he should be prepared for two things because there are two things involved, it's either the money is lost or you get some extra more cash (depending on the odds you chose to bet on). and when you eventually win and get an extra cash, two things are still involved.
it's either you walk away with your profit or you decide to try again with the hopes of making more money because you believe today might just be your lucky day.

 If you chose to walk away, then you're on the safer side, and if you choose to go again, there are still two things involved. It's either you win again or you lose your profit as well as what you won earlier.

If you win again and walk away, then you're safe, but if you lose the bet, there are still two things involved. It's either you decide to cut your losses and walk away or you decide put in another money to try again and see if you can manage to recover what you've just lost.

If you walk away, then you're safe but if you decide to put in more money and try again, there are two things involved. It's either you get lucky and win back your money or you lose the bet and throw away more money while trying to make a recovery.

 If you win back your money, then you're safe, but if you lose, there are two things involved. It's either you accept you've been defeated and walk away with whatever you're left with in your account/bankroll or you decide to chase your loss by doubling your usual stake so you can win and recover the ones you've lost with just one single bet and then retire for the day.

If you accept defeat and walk away, then you're safe, but if you say NO and decide to go in harder, there are still two things involved. It's either you get lucky, win and manage to recover your losses and then run away or you lose the bet once more and lose more than you planned to lose that day.

If you win the bet and run away, then you're safe but if you lose again, there are still two things involved. It's either you finally realize that the whole loss chasing is pointless and will only lead to more losses or you become more desperate and frustrated and then decide to go again, this time with a much higher stake or even decide to go all in with everything you've got to make the final kill.

If you realize yourself and walk away while you can, then you're safe but if you decide to go in with a much higher stake or all in. There are two things involved still. It's either you suddenly become the luckiest man on earth by winning the bet and running for your dear life orrrrrrr you become unfortunate and lose all your money and your frustration multiplies by 10 with an addition of confusion.

If you win and run away, then you're safe but if you lose, there are still two things involved. It's either you pull your sorry ass together and give up full of regret or you decide not to give up and decide to take a loan ( for someone who can easily access a loan).

If you give up, then you're safer because with time you'll recover from your losses, but if you decide to take a loan, there are two things involved. It's either God decides to save your sorry ass and allow you to win the bet (because at this point, only God can save you) or you lose the loan money completely and then this is the point you realize what you've done to yourself and then go back home and work your ass off to repay the loan and pick up the remaining pieces of your broken life.

This is exactly what happens to gamblers who refuse to gamble responsibly but decide to chase their losses. I hope you all learned a thing or two from this little rollercoaster ride.
