With the increase in alcohol consumers, companies that produce alcohol seem to have increased alcohol production, and many young people are easily seen consuming alcohol while smoking and while playing in casinos, most people who consume alcohol even justify themselves with arguments people who are consuming alcohol to relax while they are playing, but I wonder how a person who is consuming alcohol will stay focused on the game?

Maybe the casinos keep offering alcohol because they know that this means customers won't be able to concentrate on the game and since gambling shouldn't be seen as a source of income, so when the casinos give alcohol and the person loses at the game, it's not the casino's fault. , it's the person's fault and there's also no problem with the person losing because the games should be seen as just fun, that's the thinking of the owner of the physical casino. and unfortunately the majority of young people nowadays are alcohol dependent people

It’s not necessarily highly unlikely. Gambling still gives the average 50/50 chance of win/failure. So, you could still win anyways, but 50/50 is quite a risk for someone who is desperate for the money. In regard to taking loans, that may be a better option but for me, I avoid loans a lot because it’s improper to spend your future money. Money you have no clue yet how much work you’ll put in to get it.
On what ratio do you use to rate the gambling chance of winning and losing to be 50/50? Because I see gambling having a higher chance of winning over the gambler, the gambler most of the time has a very minimal chance of winning in every game compared to how they can lose to gambling, the risk is far more than 50/50.

~~~
Looking at it averagely, the chance of winning gambling games is 50/50. For instance, a coin flipping gambling game leaves you 50/50, because it’s obviously either head or tail and when you pick one of those, you’re 50% likely to get it right. Even in roulette, and many other games, there are 50/50 chances.

Sports betting is an example of a game that has the ability to not be 50/50. For instance, you can predict the exact goals that will come from the match and the probability for that isn’t 50/50 because there are a bunch of many other possible scores (which is why the reward for such predictions is usually higher).
I don't know if the point you are given is truly understood by me but I would just like to add that be it sports betting or any type of betting the probability of winning against losing is always actually the same or if any difference then it will always favour the casino rather than the players. So many people in Nigeria is also tied with this mentality as they feel they are comfortable with any little winnings and earning. But the game is about the bigger picture because That's what really matters with my children

You said it well. But here's the thing: A person who is addicted to gambling cannot stop gambling. This is the whole problem of addiction. If a person is able to stop gambling, then it will no longer be an addiction. It's like telling an alcoholic who has a big problem with it, stop drinking if you feel like you're addicted to it.

You can be addicted to anything, you can realize that you are indeed addicted and you can quit it if you are already not dead inside, I mean if your conscience is still right in there but if you your conscience is not there, you wouldn't be able to different between right and left. So for gambling, if you are not that deep into gambling, you can stop addiction and you can't stop gambling forever if you really want to stop it.

Even some that takes alcohol can stop, this things are natural things that we do, drinking alcohol doesn't solve your problem, it just makes you think away for that particular time and as soon as the atmosphere becomes clear, the first thing that comes your head are those problems. Better face your challenges and quit anything addiction the earlier the better.

Your point of view is acceptable to some extent, but I would like to emphasize the danger of gambling as a type of addiction. It is distinguished from alcohol or drugs in that it does not require adding chemical compounds to the body. Rather, it is what is called in psychology “behavioral addiction,” which is a complex psychological condition that the brain reaches by virtue of getting used to performing a certain habit and cannot get rid of it. This resembles a state of psychomania in which the patient cannot control himself.
This can be likened to other types of behavioral addiction, such as masturbation or shopping addiction, for example, where the desire becomes strong to spend any amount of money on shopping, regardless of its size, but gambling is much more dangerous than that because the patient can practice it in isolation from others, and it only requires him to own a smartphone and then He can gamble even when he goes to the toilet.

The gambler mostly failed to accept the phenomenon the chance of winning is only 50 percentage.Mostly they except the possibility of winning from the game,if the winning chances was loss.They started to lose their inner peace of mind,loss will hurt both the rich and poor man.Because they are using the real money for the game.But the rich man accept the loss,because money generated by the rich man using the business.But the poor man only getting the money as the salary from the rich man.So some people consider the gambling as rich man game.

But it’s not real,if you ready to accept the loss of money.You can play the gambling with the real money.Most of the experienced gamblers ready to accept the loss or profit in their game,because if he win the game.They know they never going to complain,So why should the complain was made to the loss on the gambling site.Improve the skills in game,one day the loss was turned into profit.

Even if the chance is still 50/50, like you said, it's too risky to use loan money to gamble because you are not just taking a risk on your own; you are also risking some other money, which is almost equal to risking your freedom.

Some games do have odds that are close to 50/50, not quite, but close.

For example in roulette, if you gamble on the color, say red. You have almost 50/50 chances to win, you will only lose if the ball ends up in black (half of the numbers), or if it ends up in 0, which lowers your chances. Of course most modern tables also have a 00, which lowers your chances even more.
You are right but that is not for all types of bets or games because there are only a few games that provide 50/50 odds for gamblers, such as the game of roulette which has several betting options with 50/50 odds.
It just that not all gamblers will like it and this game will be game of luck with random algorithm performance and we cannot use any strategy to predict what is right to bet on.
I myself, if looking for 50/50 chance, much prefer sports betting and take the double chance betting option with draw or win for one of my favorite team and this will be much more fun.
However, each gambler choices will be different and they have their own decisions in choosing what to bet on with the amount of money they have deposited.

And that's why I love roulette (black and red). This is the best way to get a good result when you understand your chances of winning, while not spending a lot of time gambling, which can then be delayed by its dynamics. Often, if I win bonus money from the casino or promo codes, I play red and white roulette. A couple of times I tried to play slots, where, logically, the combined odds of winning should be 50-50 (approximately), but I lost 6 spins in a row there, and it infuriated me. In roulette, for such a number of bets, I would definitely win once.

Loan sharks are already committing a crime by offering financial services without the necessary license, so it is not surprising they have no qualms at all when it comes to offering such awful loans to vulnerable people, and I am sure that many gamblers know they are being taken advantage of, but in their desperation they are willing to take the loan as they cannot accept they have lost so much money at the casino and now they have no chance to recover it.
Relatively gamblers will take out loans if they are not ready to accept losing funds on bets that do not meet expectations or they bet without control which leads to losses. Loan sharks have studied the characteristics of gamblers so that when gamblers experience a situation of high losses then loan offers will definitely not be rejected, so physical casinos are the main target for loan sharks to act to get their target borrowers.

However, all gamblers should avoid taking any loans even if you have lost a bet, but never make the mistake of borrowing funds from loan sharks, you will experience bigger problems, paying the loan with high interest and you could also potentially lose the loan funds on the same bet.

It is not difficult for gamblers who have good motives, those who try to pay off the borrowed money after taking it. Moreover, if the gambler has the ability to repay his loan, then there is no exception. But nowadays no one trusts gambler because they mostly lie or cannot follow through on their words. No one wants to pay such people because no one wants to lose their own hard earned money. I don't trust gambler because the kind of promise they make to me is not possible for anyone else. I personally don't trust Gambler to lend money because they can deny it at any time. However, it is not possible to say that everyone is entitled to the same type of personality. There are many who try to match words with deeds. It is not bad for them to lend.

You are right, no one should lend money to a gambler for gambling. If you lend them money you might make their situation even more miserable. There is a good possibility for them to lose the money and then being in debt to seek another person they could lend money from and gamble again struggling to win and return the debt to you. It could turn into a vicious circle for them. No one wants that.

Yes it is and maybe simply lending money to gamblers to gamble is indirectly like you are encouraging and directing them to a much worse situation based on the idea of “helping”, on the other hand I understand that helping is a good action which is a fact that we as humans are obliged to help each other, but it is a mature mindset if you first think about the various bad effects that will befall them before you lend the money.

Lending money is not forbidden but we must think rationally and if for example we know that their intention and purpose of borrowing is to gamble then it is clearly better not to lend it because another thing to worry about is the possibility that they will not pay their debts because someone who is addicted usually they will always prioritize their gambling activities when they have money compared to paying their debts to others which means it is clearly likely that you will not be able to get your money back.
I can see why someone would want to give money to someone who is having trouble with gambling. The situation gets worse. Each dollar they spend on drugs or alcohol hurts their health, not helps them. You might want them to pay you back, but they won't while they're gambling.

This isn't just about the money; it's about real help. It will hurt them in the long run if you let them keep using drugs. There needs to be tough love, but there needs to be a way out. Refer them to therapy, support groups, or people who understand what they're going through instead of loans. That's the hard way to get away. You show you care by helping them make changes that will last, not by giving them quick fixes.

You should avoid gambling when it negatively impacts your financial stability, relationships, mental health, or overall well-being. Additionally, if you have a history of addiction or struggle to control your gambling urges, it's important to refrain from gambling altogether. Setting boundaries and recognizing when gambling becomes harmful is crucial for maintaining a healthy balance in life.

Yeah, I think this sounds alright.

At the end of the day like most things in life the key is to do things in moderation.

If gambling is taking all your money, or time, or thinking space, then yeah, that might mean it's too much.

Having a bit of fun here and there without spending too much money seems like a much better outcome.

Sadly, a lot of loan shark target gamblers specifically for giving a loan since they always ask for collateral that is over value to the loan amount so that they will always at profit regardless if the gambler pay the loan amount or not.

I witness a lot of this kind of loan shark on physical casino that offering loans on loser gambler. You’re right that loan shouldn’t be offered to gamblers since it will just fuel an addiction to play more due to the extra credit that they can get.

Javin is what I have understood very well that it is a very big risk and I don’t gamble because I want money urgently or I have been losing a lot. I gamble because I have taken my prediction. Welle and I have decided to gamble well some people usually gamble because they need money urgent or they want to regain back their losses, etc, using the strategy to gamble, may result in more losses, I always advise people to calm down think very well and take your prediction very well before gambling
This is the more reason why I feel gambling should be for rich individuals, because someone that's rich already has money and wouldn't be dependening on making predictions in an online site or casino to get money to settle bills with, as a rich person you're gambling for fun or to while away time during your leisure and not to make a fortune from it, although it's clear that some rich people have acquired more wealth out of luck while they gamble but as we know everyone can't be lucky else the house would go broke.

 Another thing is that a rich individual who has about $5m and bet with $100 or so to earn a $1000 or more is not expected to chase lose because the person has more than enough compared to his expected profit but a poor man who has $200 and try to risk $100 dollar would probably try to recover his lose with the remaining he has. Rich gamblers have a better chance of sustaining themselves therefore I think poor individuals are the ones who would mostly chase loses.

Many people's refer gambling as a steady source of income. That's why people's now addicted to gambling, because even those who didn't know anything about gambling are now deep themselves in gambling since they try it and they get lucky to win a huge amount of money. From that very day on, they will be out of control. Because this first money they win will impress them enough for them to bet another one again, and it is not that this person is a gambler before, he only tries to testify and make what his friends are telling him reality.

But stopping the gambling has become a big work for him because he is already addicted to his blood. That's why they e said, Do not allow something to cross your mind and allow yourself to be addicted to gambling.
