Topic: What is gambling to you, a fanfare or potential financial havoc? - page 5. (Read 657 times)

There is no gambling website that doesn't provide educational resources on gambling. Yet, the big question that remains is why are the number of gambling addicts on the rise? Whose fault is it, the government, the casino owner, or the regulators? Instead of spending time discussing gambling side effects, it will be profitable to discuss healthy gambling behaviours and strategies to adopt to keep yourself in check incase one is crossing the line. We should encourage openness and be less judgmental with in this too like a safe space where other gamblers can find help and discuss their struggles.

Moderation is the only way to approach it without getting addicted. Once one can limit the way gambles I don't think getting addicted to it will be possible. Because it from continous process that leads to habit, once it becomes a habit your reward system is triggered, your Dopamine high as fuck so you will always seek to gamble whether  you feel like or not.. Moderation over everything with self discipline, is what we need because the more we take it as fun the more it grows and increases in our lives, which we will always seek to have such fun.

Gambling sites already have advices, and informations they pass. Its just like cigarette companies where you see on the brand Do not Smoke,smokers are liable to die young and dangers of smoking but still yet they will read it and still smoke.
In essence for me once the educational content is on a gambling sites it isn't necessary and that moment nobody cares to read such. So educate the young ones, beginners and everyone now, let us not wait. Tell them about the dangers of gambling addiction and seek means to help those who are addicted already. And free them from the fantasies they chase in gambling which is far from reality.

I agree with you. There is no way that a gambler is not gambling for profit that he would be happy to throw huge amount on gambling, or would continue gambling without a stop. Every responsible man has his job and family as his priority, and he will only gamble at his free time when he wants to have fun. When having fun he will limit the time because he is engaged with other important things to attend to.

You can have fun and not get addicted, when you discipline yourself and gamble in a mild way with a limited time. If you over play video game all the time, even when you are one your own, you will feel like playing in your dreams, you will also be playing, it will just take over all your thoughts. Same with gamble that is why you don't get distracted with the fun, or chasing your loss.

The meaning of gambling or me is just to have fun in my free time and nothing else. I don't feel the potential havoc from the gambling because I always trying to limits myself from using big money to playing gambling. I knows that if I used much money, that can makes me gets many problems and I don't wants that happens to me. If they can have fun in gambling, they will knows that the risk of losing money will be bigger so they must have self control to playing gambling. Otherwise, they will lose much money and the worst is they can becomes addicted to gambling which many people already gets it.

It needs educations for people not to gets deeper in gambling so they can prevents themselves and makes limitations to playing gambling. That will helps them can enjoy gambling as an entertainment.

This can be done as long as the involvement in gambling does not expect permanent profits and gamblers do not always play with the hope of a big victory. Gambling control can be seen from the ability of a person to spend money and if gambling only uses a small budget it will be easier to control it. Cress-fun is very close to addiction and that is able to limit one way a person is involved in gambling, by regulating our budget it will be easier to control gambling.

Gambling when we have more money after meeting other needs, education about the impact of gambling is not easy to do and makes everything more controlled so that we ourselves play a role. Other people are only able to give advice but if the individuals involved do not have control it will be far more difficult to apply.

It's hard to differentiate when you're doing something you keep doing again and again to the point that you are addicted it's hard to differentiate because you're having fun and you get a supply of dopamine and you love the feeling of getting satisfied, people will tell you that you are so addicted to gambling but you tell them that you're just enjoying it.

It takes maturity to realize that you're having too much and if you do not have that maturity then you need outside help to realize that you are doing something wrong in gambling, realizing you're having it to much is your pathway to self-recovery.

For me, if we are talking about gambling strictly as casino games it is a hobby that I know makes me lose money on net in the long run. When I have tried casino games it is more to get to know the rooms and the gambling industry than because I think it is a good way to win money. Playing poker I have been making regular extra income for many years, but we winning poker players don't usually call our activity gambling although strictly speaking it would be gambling.

Gambling is to serve us as a means for being entertained and if we look back then into the history, we can see that it encourages for a peaceful coexistence among the particular people living together, its also a means to friendliness then, that is why even till today, you will discover some gamblers will not accept gambling alone without being together with their friends, but in todays era of gambling, many have taken it on a wrong approach for financial advisory, thinking its a means of making money for a regular income, this is wrong, we should learn to gamble for fun and nothing more.

The proceeds from the signature campaign will not always be spent all of it at most $10 to $15 for a soccer bet for me it is more than enough and if the bet wins then the capital for the next week does not need to be deposited again that's what I do in gambling.
So it is indeed a small percentage maybe for gambling it will be better and we have felt how to apply this kind of discipline, if excessive then it will be addicted.

Gamble intentionally. Do not gamble because your friends are engaging in it and they invited you to join them. While they would have developed some degree of self-control, you as a beginner would be carry away by the thrill of it because of your inexperience and where there is no control irresponsible gambling leading to addiction will be inevitable.

Gambling education helps nevertheless the should decision to adhere to what is taught during such educational session lies solely with the participant. Gambling education is powerful and has a far reaching effect from hearing the stories of former gambling addicts when they share their experience.

The view of gambling is very intertwined but at the end it's all about fun. No matter the end result of a gambler we should know that first it was out of love for fun that turn into greed which could lead to the bad effects we find in most gamblers.

Where we can draw a line between fun and getting addicted is knowing your limits. It's fun to gamble but when you exceed your limit which you can accept with clear conscience then it's not longer a fun act but a greed intense action to either make ones self proud or to achieve a goal of making a cool cash.

So at the end every one should know the level which they can accept whatever they put into gambling, if you derive joy from gambling then stick with the fun not stake what can not afford to loose that when lost you will continue to chase losses that will lead to addiction.

People have asked this kind of question several times and we give the same answers to it. You like to gamble but you do not want to spend much money on gambling in a way that gambling will not affect you, then you can have a gambling budget that you can fund weekly with just 5% of your weekly income or less. The less percent of your income that you use for the budget the better you will be. Any gambler that read this and follow it will thank me.

Everyone has his/her own personal view on the subject of gambling and it always lingers on this two perspectives in the society and also has an impact on the way people view and approach it. Gambling in whichever form it takes be it a play to earn stake game, online casino or simply playing with friends, often sparks a debate on its true nature as a fanfare activity or a financial trap to wreak people.

My experience
On March 26th, 2024, my friend and I visited a bar, where he normally played snooker with his friends, I would always sit close to watch and cheer him up while I drink and hardly played cause I'm not good at it, one of his play mates challenged him to a bet on drinks, with rules lower buys drinks for the next person for each round, my friend got serious and was on a winning steak and the scores was 12-3 under 2 hours of playing, while at the beginning of this game it was more fun fare when the score were still some how even and reachable, but now the other guy was sweating probably because of the price of the drink which was about 3k(3$) per bottle for the least beer, the look on his face has totally changed and I believe he never planned for the game to go that way.

Now while some folks would argue that gambling is fanfare, I believe there is a line to this and it gets to a point where we could wreak ourselves if you are not careful, no one needed to tell me, that fellow was grieved by his losses which was not supposed to be so if we are just having fun.

Gambling as a thrilling or exciting activity
For many persons, gambling is a very good way to add thrill to any activity or game to make it more entertaining, playing a regular game with nothing to gain or lose can be at time so boring and would hardly bring out your best but with a price involved everyone gets serious and wants to put more effort, making it a fun to be a part of.

Like when we normally set football competition in my street and everyone would have to contribute an amount to participate, it makes the whole event more thrilling and engaging for all.

Gambling as a pitfall trap
We all know how easy it is to get a habit out of gambling, that excessive dopamine would just make you going back for more untill your well out of control, the byproduct of gambling Is clearly a financial wreak and the idea of easy money or double your cash seems can lure even the most discipline into blindness and eventually a gambling addiction that would lead to indebtedness from chasing losses. With this much bad side gambling can also be seen as a dangerous social activity that can lead many to ruin if left unchecked.

The idea of personal responsibility has always been the key to evade from addiction but her is the big question.
