Topic: What's The Weirdest Alibi Of Gamblers So They Can Continue Gambling? - page 3. (Read 876 times)

That's true, with business of course we have to try as hard as we can, because of course a business that is run must be able to generate profits so I think in the business world trying is a must. That's what I mean, of course it's not a good thing if this happens in gambling because if it's like this it will most likely only cause problems and clearly losses. It's true what you said gambling is basically just about luck and the other side is also the skills you have.

Of course, we should be able to gamble wisely so we don't get addicted to things that lead us to bad things. It's true what you say there's no harm in trying your luck but you have to do it responsibly, by limiting your budget like you said or by limiting the time for gambling. don't spend large amounts of money on gambling, with this we can gamble with a small budget,  because with a small budget we can also win if we really have luck at gambling, and it's better, even if we gamble using a large budget. You won't necessarily get a big win either. So I think to prevent bad things from happening in gambling, the control is in all of us, including the alibi for gambling. because there are strange alibis for continuing to gamble, such as, the more often we gamble, the closer we are to gambling, that's just nonsense.

It's a bit funny this time in our discussion, in fact I rarely pay attention or interpret words like the ones you present. I mean, like the title of this thread. or maybe, you and I have said a few words that without realizing it have become a strange alibi for the community. who knows, after all, we discuss a lot and even review every discussion in gambling. well, so it occurred to me that maybe there were a lot of strange words I said to the community. but what I agree with, and oddly enough is what you shared in your link. I will quote it, "Gambling every day draws you closer to winning". we agree, that this thread makes me a little funny. But don't get me wrong, because in reality I don't have the slightest narrow mind. in fact, I also made a post in that thread.

Honestly, I'm trying to remember some of the strangest alibis in my own circle. but I can't remember it, especially for something that makes little impression on me. however, in our area there are many gamblers who often say, "keep depositing, never win". this is just a figure of speech, our place is to joke with each other about gambling. or, "don't give up", in his words it was changed to, "never give up smoke and let's keep gambling". these words are just a play, yeah like sarcasm for example. For people in my country, you must be familiar with our local language. but yeah, at least this thread can make us relax a little in discussions and not have to be as serious as possible.

I think that all the gamblers have done an alibi just to keep doing what they do or to avoid being disturbed, Just like what you did. It's funny when you remember all the things you've done in the past but hopefully you've learned and changed. Your experience is minimal alibi and for me, it's not that bad but it's still illegal because you did it during working hours, and if you continue that routine, you can lose your job if your boss finds out what you're doing.

Yes, that's the alibi of gamblers that we often encounter, not only in online leisure but also in my own environment. There is a sentence that I would like to add which is used as an alibi for a gambler to continue gambling, namely "success comes to those who always want to try" the sentence is not wrong if the intention is good but if applied to gambling I think it is contrary to the principle that gambling is a place of entertainment and winning is only a very rare luck, it is not recommended to think about the future through gambling.

This thread made me laugh as i remember what I have done just to continue my gambling many years back because this is truly memorable  as I am an field officer back then and my work is to go as much client a day for estimation and color presentation of our product.

and one day that I was  tasked to visit 10 costumer that day and of course I rode my motorcycle and starts heading to the clients .
while visiting my clients I run into a oldschool friends and had some chat and decide to have a beer , and of course getting dipsy we decided to go into casino but sadly my boss keeps on calling updating if i did my task that day.

I pretended that my motorcycle had been wrecked and need to cancel my appointments so i can get back my service (while i am in casino laying lol)

If without gambling you are incomplete, you have already become a big problem for yourself, it will be hard for someone like you to ever beat gambling addiction, even with the help of therapy it won't work, you are simply addicted.

Beleiving that gambling is a do or die means you have lost yourself already, and only your God can make you escape from the grip of gambling, this is all so wrong, as a gambler you need to watch yourself, the way you reason with gambling, it's very important, gambling is like manipulation itself, it twists the mind easily.

There are so many foolish people in gambling today, in my household, the only thing we so take serious is believing in our hands, this is the only thing you have that won't deceive you, work your ass off, work hard and mix some smartest with it, you will eventually achieve your goals, but there is nothing to work really hard about in gambling, there is no work or anything to do that really worth you making money.

I think that "alibi" isn't the right term to be used here. Criminals have an "alibi" to prove that they weren't at the place where the crime was committed. Gambling isn't considered a crime in many countries around the world. I think that the right word is "excuse" instead of "alibi".
A gambling addict once told me "If I don't gamble every day, I will have to commit suicide". Is this a weird enough excuse?
Usually the gambling addicts have the weirdest excuses to keep gambling. The moderate gamblers don't need a weird excuse.
They just gamble for fun and as a form of escapism from their every day problems.

The strangest alibi that makes me think it does not makes sense is
Who says you can't become a millionaire in sports betting?
I knowing it might happened but not everyone is really lucky in sports betting, even though the game requires skill but it doesn't really make us millionaire, we only experience ordinary wins if we bet only the amount we can afford lost, and if you take the risk of gambling with bigger money maybe you can double your money and become a millionaire but if you can win it on the other hand, if you lose, you will lose more of your money and failed to become a millionaire.

There are various kinds of alibis that people use to gamble. They always believe in the alibi that gambling will provide profit someday or provide an unexpectedly large jackpot. Even though in fact there are many around us who cannot become successfull just because their alibi is about gambling.

People will always look for excuses or reasons to do the obvious. Not all alibis are to be taken seriously, some of them are mere gambling jokes made to ease the tension in gamblers, laugh over the joke and move on. I hear people say this alot; "don't stop gambling, you can never tell when luck will shine on you.. This sounds like a motivation never to quit but as far as gambling is concerned,  it is a joke! It is only a foolish person that will be motivated by every gambling related 'motivational quotes' he sees online and even the lies he tells himself in order to gamble more. He's just driving himself speedingly into an addiction until its too late for him to slow down. It is very easy to spot a toxic alibi, especially one which is influenced by greed.  Such alibis should be ignored completely.

I have heard something along these lines from my dad. That it keeps him active and social. I personally think that he didn't accept the idea, that he was poor. And gambling would somehow be his way out of the poor life that he was so ashamed of. He didn't want to seem like a poor man so he kept quite a good car. When he smoked cigarettes, he refused to roll them as it would make him seem like a poor man.

So when he won a bunch of money he lived like a rich man for a week or a day, and it was immediately back to being ascetic.

Another reasoning i've heard is from my friend was that he felt it with such a passion that this day would be his lucky day in casino. So he bought a beer in a casino, converted everything he had on wallet to chips. It was couple hundred euros or something like that. He put all the chips to one specific number (i can't remember which one), and lost. Right after he drank his beer and left to home. Even though it was over in a moment, i admit, it was a rush to watch. He just said to me that it wasn't such a good idea, and maybe he shouldn't trust his guts on matters like that.

I don't know if someone posted it here already but I used to use this alibi whenever I was asked to stop gambling this is a fortune teller told me that I would make a fortune from gambling this was five years ago, this is my alibi and I was ashamed whenever I met those people I told them about my alibi I just tell them that its a fake fortune teller even though I did not ask a fortune teller to tell my fortune.
I just think that it's the best alibi and I get some support when I say this, they even told me that they hope I remember them when I win. 

yeah, agree, that "one bet away" is a never-ending excuse for gamblers and even if they win big like they always dream they'll just continue and create new excuses to justify their gambling.

the people who were encouraging the guy who was sharing his journey to gambling addiction recovery are either trolling or they just love seeing people suffer just like them and sadly people like that actually exist, it is a sad world we live in.

lottery demands lots of numbers and not everyone gets them correctly. The winning possibility is quite slim. But when one wins, he goes home a millionaire. That would be cemented on the brain of your friend, he isn't wasting no effort in purchasing tickets and trying his luck. I think he may have made that promise to himself, to become a millionaire through lottery games. These alibis I've read, some funny, shows that gamblers have different motives of gambling. Although one motive that unites all gamblers to share similar reason is money. Some use them to cover up for their gambling addiction and enjoy the game without getting involved. When they say this we tend to forget about the trouble and laugh or skip the idea of counseling the person.

Some of the ones I've come across are true works of artistic genius. Consider this one: "I travel through time by gambling." One of my coworkers feels as though he is transported to a bygone, more opulent era when he is in a casino. Its how he escapes everyday life and gets to see a little piece of history.

My personal joke is, "I gamble to be a better decision-maker." I've said that many times. The reasoning? Every wager is a decision made under duress, reflecting life's never-ending stream of options. Though its a lighthearted approach, there is some merit in developing the ability to follow your gut and make quick, thoughtful decisions.

It can be quite a challenge to offer advice to individuals who suffer from a gambling addiction. No matter what words of wisdom we attempt to share with them, they always manage to find a way to justify their detrimental actions. They argue that engaging in gambling brings them happiness, but when they experience the agony of defeat, they are left feeling disappointed and filled with regrets. Furthermore, they claim that gambling provides an outlet for relieving stress; however, when faced with consecutive losses, their stress levels only intensify, leaving them even more frustrated and overwhelmed. It is not uncommon for me to encounter gamblers who, due to their frequent losses, impulsively hurl their cell phones until they shatter into pieces.

In my humble opinion, it is utterly nonsensical to believe that those who engage in gambling do so purely for amusement. The truth is, one derives joy from a sense of contentment. Now, when we delve into the realm of satisfaction within the context of gambling, it is when one secures a substantial victory. These individuals place their bets with the sole desire of attaining a profit that perpetually eludes them.

This makes it clear that the combination of the two can create a greater probability of winning. If you only have one of these things, the probability of winning may still be lower than winning. Casino games seem to be more closely linked to mathematics, because slots and blackjack, crashes, rolls are very likely related to probability. However, if we talk about sports betting, it seems to be related to luck and one's observation in a match.

I dont really mind on what are the things around in regarding about sayings or something to tell about me on the time that i do play gambling. Its my money and its true that as long im not really that affecting someone when it comes to possible deal up then it should really be just that fine, there are really just those people even your relatives whom do really love on engaging on things
and making out issues on whatever the things that you are dealing on with without even trying to mind their own business and do really loves on watching out other peoples actions
on which it is really just that obvious that they are really that too loving on watching other peoples mistakes and making it issues without minding about being relative or what.

sometimes wise words can lead us astray if we cannot understand them maturely and like the wise words mentioned by my friend, it is true that this will happen, but if it is done in the business sector, a person will not give up if they fail when doing business.
but it is not good if it is taken seriously in gambling because we know how the basis of gambling is about luck that comes without knowing when it will arrive.
with this, anyone who hears something with an alibi such as words of wisdom should not take it too seriously and it is better to process these words more wisely or else we will fall into a bad zone such as becoming addicted because we gamble too often.

trying means there's no harm in continuing to try, but it means you have to stick with strong responsibility, use the rules as your own guide not to lose control and still have to use smaller amounts to spend on gambling and dont spend too quickly on the gambling budget you have.
and my advice would be better if you try the right game, for example sports betting with small bets and using parlay bets. this is the right choice to try your luck.

People make up some words to continue their journey in whatever they are doing, some times its just like a motivation for them and I really can't judge on that, but what I found so wrong is you as a gambler believing that the more you gamble the more likely you will win.

There is a saying from such gamblers that your win is closer the more you gamble, it makes me sick, because believing in such words will only get you wrecked, you are to limit your gambling session, to limit your spending on gambling, to also be able to make the right decisions, like when you win you will be able to quit for that day and wait for another day.

Some people treat casinos as a land of wish granting, where they will have to sleep like a visitor who must be treated nicely, casinos need to make money to be in business for long term too, you winning is not good for them, it's a shame that peoples mind are easy to mess with...  

The alibi of many gamblers is obviously words like this, keep gambling your luck is around the corner, you will end up learning the harder way.

I remember this childhood friend who's into lottery. He buy ticket almost everyday (this is before, I don't know if he gave up already) because he has numbers in mind and that are the birthdays of their family members. He said "If I don't buy ticket then how can I become rich?" He has a point though. But we know the chances in lottery, it's one in a million and close to impossible.
