Topic: When you are not to gamble. - page 24. (Read 6771 times)

In fact, I found in my neighborhood, gambling is indeed done to make money,
and they keep hoping to hit the jackpot so that they can return the initial capital and make a profit.

Not about hobbies or just playing gambling games, because only a few people play gambling for pleasure.
Gambling can now be accessed very easily, only through mobile phones then anyone can gamble.

I think it's true that most gamblers deceive themselves about their intentions and goals in gambling, they always tell people including maybe some of their friends that they gamble just for fun but actually it still has to be suspected, or I mean I'm not sure that they gamble with such intentions and goals and maybe I would say that it's just a one-sided claim, unless I see the evidence. And I think if you want to find out about what someone's real intention is to engage in gambling then you just have to see how they react and respond when they lose, because the name of the feeling will not be able to lie, if for example they feel very upset or even emotional because of losing then I think we can already conclude that the intention and purpose of gambling is to "multiply". However, this is a wrong approach based on a wrong understanding and belief in gambling, because after all the fact, as you said above, gambling is a matter of luck in terms of making a win, which means gambling can never be used as an income.

I would never say that the game is a source of income, let's go because the juices of chance are that for me, pure chance, there is no pattern that can be followed to earn money and there is nothing that can be done for us to be constant in money, the most certain thing is that things with casinos are fun and the opportunity to increase your capital, but that is with a lot of luck, and I am aware of that, some players do well in the game, and they repeat that more and more, and that is why they can say that gambling is their source of income, but it is a complete evasion because the casino can take all our money if we think we will have constant income, we must be clear that the casino is not a source of income.

Those who believe this have not had good experiences and have had a hard time accepting things as they are, some end up being addicts because they are looking for income.

It is very true in everything we remember as children, it is something that we do not forget, even in adult life we try to do it, it is very true that children always try to do things like older children and if they manage to do adult things it is better for them , because they Know that they are doing something important, therefore in this aspect children should be taught other types of activities, such as reading books, knowing, learning more, those are the type of examples that should be given to them, Also about sports, music, that they are interested in that, of course we are people who always have to encourage them to do things that will be useful to them in the future, like learning Other languages or things like that, gambling, casinos, you see. , but it is difficult because if they see their father or mother in him, they will be Interested.

That's true, most people normally decieved theirselves that they are gambling for fun and entertaining. Mean while they are just doing it on a regular due to fact that they have already gotten addicted to it , expecially those with the poor mindset of Taking gambling as source of income . When we all know well that gambling is all about luck and all that.  Though gambling is fun and one can earn some good amount by just hitting the right jackpot, but still that doesn't mean that one should approach it wrongly by gambling unwisely or irresponsibly.

This is where some gamblers use to turn it to be addicted to gambling because it will be difficult for you to turn gambling to source of income no matter the huge amount of money you are using to gamble daily. Some of the gamblers that found themselves in addicted to gambling either they want to recover their losses from gambling or they want to make a huge amount of money to establish a business, which are some of the things that lead some gamblers to be addicted to gambling.

 I don't know where some gamblers are getting  this mindset from, that the huge amount of money you put in gambling that will determine the size of your results and it has made many to fail in gambling.

          -   It's not really good to turn gambling into a source of income, that's the truth. That's why others often say to do it just for entertainment, because if the reason for doing it is not for fun or entertainment, it will really lead to addiction and the wrong mindset will happen in the minds of most gambling communities.

We have seen that others who have the mindset that gambling is a source of income often turn their lives upside down, and others because of addiction that cannot be controlled properly leads to suicide, depression and even imprisonment. indeed.

Greed is one of the things that often happens in gambling, not even in gambling alone. with other things that involve profit, everyone tends to be greedy, such as in gambling where there is a win that can be obtained if we are lucky, but it is not surprising that many gamblers lose their winnings because they cannot control themselves when they win, some of them Those who win still insist on getting an even bigger win until they risk the winnings they have already got.

with those who can't stop themselves when their gambling ends in defeat, sometimes the action they will take is that they deposit money again and gamble again, instead of wanting to reverse the situation or recover their losses, but this actually makes them fall deeper just the problem. Chasing winnings or recovering losses is a wrong act of gambling.

Identifying when you are under pressure already is very key and paramount, most gamblers sometimes are not even able to identify when they are under pressure rather they think they know what they are doing and hope they could still be able to make things out of their gambling activities but then they eventually fail to even recover that which they have lost because they are not able to identify with the fact that they have lost a game and are actually not in the best psychology to still gamble rather they just want to keep gambling telling themselves they know what's best to do and how best to handle it.

Been under pressure could result from so many things, one of which could be needs or losses, some persons bring their needs to the casino with the mind that they will be able to win enough money to be able to take care of all their needs which they have but then not knowing that they may not be psychologically balanced enough at that moment.

It's a gambler's fallacy to think that if you've lost a lot recently you must win a lot in the near future too. Many gamblers think like that, and the funny bit is that this way of thinking "works" for some of them. But on a serious note we should always keep in mind that there's no such rule in reality.


It's possible, of course, but less likely than to keep playing when you are not hungry. Normally, when you eat you calm down, you have time to think about things more rationally than during your gambling session, and deciding to quit for the day if you've already played for hours seems natural.


Yep, for different people feeling of hunger can produce different effects.

But do you know that gambling is what it is and other games or hobbies are what they are. Gambling is quite different from hobby, some people gamble not because of the game they are gambling on is a hobby but because they want to make money from it except you don't believe much more gamblers are there for the money. So it is quite different that you have a hobby different from your gambling habit. Having a separate hobby is different to say having additional hobby because you want to avoid gambling at some point, some gambler can't resist gambling because they are doing that for the money.

I agree with you on all points.
I think that very often people try to get back their lost money, which leads to even greater losses. Then the person stops counting the lost money and any win, even a big one, no longer suits him. I agree with you that at such a moment it is very important to take a break and step away from games for a while, look at it from the outside and draw conclusions. In the end, realize that betting and gambling are games of luck, that is, a person can calculate everything, do everything correctly, but still lose money.

Even if realistic, we must make sure that the investment can works as we wants. Many investment programs can't gives the interest as we wants and that makes us feels being trick but with make sure everything, we will knows what we must do. Besides that, if we can gets a good investment in the casino, we can hopes that we can make a profit in the future and our waiting time is worth for that. That's why we must search for the casino that can gives that profit to us and they don't lie to us so we can make a profit from the investment programs on the casino. But if we thinks that the casino can't gives the profit as we wants, we don't have to force ourselves to join with their investment programs because we can search for the other casino to join the investment.

Exactly , when you are short of cash is not the brightest idea to gamble with the little  you have. Because there's high chances that , that Same individual may endup losing that little funds, even though there may be chances he or she may endup hitting the jackpot with the last funds with them ,  But still it doesn't worth it.


This is normally due to one of the common emotion we can find in gambling and in some  other means in earning  in this space. Which is called greed, most time losses may lead to the triggering of greed of wanting to get back all they have loss . Which may lead them in gambling nonstop till they recover those losses back but most time things may turnout not going their way . Which may endup doubling their losses more . So in such scenario is better to stop for a while after making some losses in your gambling sections.

You did a great summary with your writings and I just want to add that, gambling with emotionsis another big challenge that with should avoid and what I mean by this is that, we shouldn’t gamble because we are sad or happy or being triggered to do so without a proper analysis of the games we want to bet on.

Chasing after losses has also been one of the greater challenges of a gambler over the time and from my personal research, one thing that makes people chase after their losses is because they always gamble with the money they’re not willing and ready to loss  and I personally think, the moment we gamble with what we can afford to loss, we’re already half way to fighting a lot of gambling crisis.

Yeah a gambler needs to prevent themselves from gambling when under pressure. Because at that time they usually don't have the ability to think carefully and only act according to what they think at that time. Usually in these conditions, gamblers find it difficult to concentrate and they will make wrong decisions which will only worsen their losses. And therefore it is important for gamblers to be able to know when to stop and when to play - they must be able to put their rational thoughts in front of them to be able to stop and not want to play anymore.

Everything is correctly said by you. I also want to add that every player should always have additional hobbies in addition to gambling, so that gambling is not the most exciting activity for the player emotionally.
After all, if suddenly a player wants to give up gambling and, so to speak, stay out of the game, then there must be some kind of activity that he will switch to. It can be sports, parenting, extreme sports, or maybe even trading, because it is not gambling, and I think that this is also quite a promising activity.

Most people do gamble because they want to double their money, beginners or not, I think it's the same, they want to double their money, with the money they have they can grow a lot quickly. This kind of thinking is of course not correct because this kind of thinking will actually make us unable to accept defeat or losing money which will obviously happen in gambling. While this is absolutely absolute and must be accepted, if we cannot accept it, it is likely that it will make us have our own grudges that will lead us to gambling again.
That's what is meant, when gambling without using cold money, losing money will affect us negatively, mentally or other feelings which will only add to the problem. as you said, when the mentality cannot be controlled then chaos will occur, making everything fall apart.

Gambling addiction is not meant to be taken lightly, gamblers are to be watchful of their decision, while gambling. Wagering continuously with no control puts the gambler on the verge of losing out all his funds. Running out of money is quite risky, for the sake of anxiety and anger. Which could lead to anxiousness to harness more money. Then, playing recklessly to regain the funds, has never been a smart option. Due to the wrong impression, it has on people, who think they'll win big by gambling with no caution, the niche is now flooded with reckless players. With an endlessly increasing number due to a lack of precautionary measures to regulate how these people waste their time and money.

It's never simple to meddle with one's time in the pursuit of lost money. Hence, the gambling process begins to get weary, yet the gambler doesn't stop playing easily. This could have been the best time to stop. But, as mentioned above, to get rid of gambling is not simple. The process is not easy. At some point, not a one-man fight. Some people would need the help of a close friend to deal with their urge to gamble. Nothing sweet can be found in addiction, regardless of the reason. We all deserve to respect our emotions and not hurt them. As the drive to meet up with the lost money could distract the emotions not to focus on the things, we are meant to be watchful about in our life activities, like gambling.

This may be true for those that are on the earliest stages of an addiction, but I can assure you, once enough time has been spent in that state, most people will realize that they are addicted, as at some point they will get tired of all the problems their addiction bring them and they will finally make an attempt to stop, and that is when they will realize that even when they are making their best effort to stop they are unable to do it, and when that happens that will be a huge psychological hit, since they will realize in what kind of dangerous situation they really are.
