Topic: When you are not to gamble. - page 31. (Read 6769 times)

Gambling cannot be fun because I know quite well that gambling has to deal with loss and profit, the people that I can believe that the gambling is to catch a cruise or entertainment for them is people that is rich because they are different between poor people thinking and rich people thinking they reach person come overlook everything by concerns a little money, a poor man cannot overlook anything to deal with the money because it mentality is different from a rich man mentality so a rich man gamble to catch fun a poor man gambling in order to met itself rich because it believe that the gambling is one of its source of income

In addition to some of the odd times one not expected to gamble also include the following I will explaining below,

1. When someone just gambled and won: is another odd/dangerous moment for others to gamble, because while some people may be willing to go extra miles just to gamble on the same game the previous winner played and won, some may get carried away while gambling, with the mindset they will win, which in most cases don't always end as predicted, as they all likely to lose all their funds to gambling if not trade with caution.

Example, you will notice that such kind of mistake is very common with Soccer games, whereby if an individual happens to win a bet this week, you will notice that next week, everybody who heard about his winning, will always want to bet on the very slip the previous winner played and won.

What you've described here is what is called the gambler's fallacy or the hot hand fallacy. This happens when a gambler has the idea that, just because you've had a streak of wins, you're more likely to keep winning. But unfortunately, that's not really how probabilities works, in actual reality, no matter how sweet the victory is and how constant it keeps coming, the fact still remains that outcome of every game is different from the other and there's no way the odds would change base on previous results. It's pretty much easy to get caught up in the excitement of winning but it's important to always remember that the odds are always stacked up against you.

That is a well known problem but the real problem is that the person does not realize that he got a problem gambling until he sees the consequences of his action,some people have left their wives,their houses and sometimes in the dramatic tragic ending of taking one own life,that is for the weak minded.A real strong person can realize the problem and can be able to quit gambling as soon as he sees that his actions are leading nowhere and he is only losing money constantly on the long run,so the strong will of a person is the key to stopping the gambling addiction.Personally I have been able to quit for some time now the slot machines as I have only seen constant loses from three consecutive months now,either I have the worse possible luck or either the slots are rigged by the providers.

The thing is that gambling is always like a trap for the weak minded because their is always the win get draws them closer and changes that fun mentality of theirs especially when they secured a good spree of winning and then later experience one or two loses, that lose tend to trigger and  activate that urge to gamble more and when this starts, the ability to stop is then now the problem because they would be so keen in trying to meet up with the previous figures they won on their betting account.

That's true my friend I have forgot to mention this important things. Many time almost every gambler loose their home fund for their greediness. That's why I always want to say that when you go for gambling always control yourself don't fall into the trap of greediness and always set a pre strategy before gambling on both of your loss and also win. Many times when we win a few gambles in a row we tend to stake more because of our over confidence and as a result we lose our hole fund.

Humans are greedy by nature, so even if a person has all the intention of just gambling for fun, the moment they have a good session and make some money they immediately begin to think about the possibility of making money like this all the time and how easy their lives will be if they could pull this off, however we know the truth, and while winning once in a while is something that can happen, more often than not we will lose, and those looking to earn money by gambling will fail on their attempt, but by the time they realize their mistake, a great deal of money they could not afford to lose will be lost already.

To add to your last of three points - when you're generally feeling down, which could be different from stress or frustration. If you are in an unhappy state of mind, you are more likely to make unbalanced decisions that could be devastating to your wallet. The best thing to do is walk away entirely, not dump out all of your cash in anger. It takes a lot of practice and patience to win at gambling, at least in the skilled games that you can influence, so you need to be playing razor sharp in every single session. Sometimes you'll hear the professional poker players will realize they're on tilt or playing badly, then cut themselves off for a day or several, because playing in that state of mind can create a downward spiral that's hard to recover.

What you say is very real, basically the things that have a lot to do with this, the people or the majority think that they will always be lucky, that by Betting just a little they will recover and will be able to pay everything they owe, that is u somewhat reckless thought but that unfortunately lives within many players, I would say that when things are tried to be done in different ways, seeing the game as if it were just fun, it is the ideal, but not all the time the ideal is only what is see and what is done, because the ideal is what you Always want to Achieve , but it is Difficult because the purpose of the game is for the person to get excited and start playing and playing and have to depend on that type of fun, where if It is not controlled, it can go to other levels where things can be dangerous, because there can be decapitation of money, and that is where the problems begin, in fact it is one of the things that have the most problems in the World and arises Thanks to the Lack of money. .

The concept of fun in the game is what a person who has already been through many things assumes and does it, takes it that way, but I think this is for People who have had a lot of Experience, it is Difficult to Reach a level of Maturity of that Style , but you have to Try to see The casino , the Game of that way to protect yourself.

Yes, it's true that everyone has experienced a phase where when they need money they have to try gambling to make money so that when they lose they continue to chase their losses and even try to recover their losses, but if they gamble for fun they usually won't be trapped trying to recover their losses. , I recently made that mistake too, namely trying to catch up on my losses because I needed money quickly but it's true that it just wastes my money unnecessarily, sometimes even though I've consistently played responsibly I still often get stuck with that.

But I feel that it depends on the purpose of our gambling because as long as I gamble, so far I just have fun. I never think about trying to recover my losses even when I experience consecutive losses, unless it was my mistake yesterday because I needed money quickly, my gambling became worse. I didn't control myself when I gambled and experienced defeat. In fact, I chased my defeat and tried to recover it. It really won't return all the money I lost. I thought it would work. It turns out my suspicion was correct that gambling is not for making money. but fortunately I realized sooner so as not to lose more, this will be an important lesson for me in the future, I think everyone should also be able to gamble responsibly because it can prevent us from making mistakes.

People will hardly understand this advise because once they start gambling they never become tired of it but wants to continue gambling just because of having earning way. There is no doubt that at start people are gambling just for fun and if they become successful at first bet then their interest increases because they think that their luck is shining which will always help them to win in gambling.

People start to accumulate money from others just to continue gambling and they don't think how they will return that loan amount to the owner but without any worries play again and again just for the hope to win more. They avoid problems but cannot leave gambling but I think we should avoid gambling just to make our life prosperous if we are not successful in gambling.

I have always said that gambling is a very different category of fun than the many other things that people can use to have fun. For example, a person who has a very stressful job and when he comes back from that same very stressful job, he is sad at home, so he always chooses to play a video game on the computer and this act has made that person relax and feel very good to the point of start to laugh and be happy. see that what this person did to relax was come back from work and play, but as he keeps playing video games that don't involve money, so he doesn't feel any pressure during the game and he won't feel sad about losing during the game. At the end of the game he had forgotten about his job problems

but if that person had come back from work with a lot of stress and thinking about all the things that happened at work that made him depressing, and he gets on his phone and goes to play at some online casino, takes $30 and starts playing, during the game this person will be playing thinking that they shouldn't lose that money, and that in itself is an increase in pressure and worry and in the end the person loses everything and when they leave the online casino this person will be more worried than before they started playing at the online casino. In other words, this person didn't have fun, this person didn't forget the stress of their job, on the contrary, after finishing playing, this person had more stress. There are things we need to think about very carefully before we do

When people have financial problems, they should not look for fun that involves spending money, they should stay away from things that are a waste of money and focus on simple things that they can do without spending money. for example, a person with financial problems should not get involved with alcohol, gambling, expensive trips, expensive tours. This person can focus on cheaper trips, such as trips to the beach, trips close to home and places like amusement parks that are cheap, they can go to relatives' houses and friends' houses, they can watch TV at home, you can go to the cinema, you can play video games

Yes and the initial trigger is always about losing control because of a loss that they cannot accept the fact that in the end they are stuck in the cycle of chasing victory to restore something that has been lost, actually this cycle can never be stopped or that means you can never chase something that has been lost if you don't stop it yourself provided that you must be able to accept that you have lost money.

And I believe that the gamblers who end up stuck in this cycle are those who have the goal of chasing wins or earning while on the other hand gambling is not a place that can provide you with consistent income because there is no element of consistency in terms of winning, so it is a fact that all wins that are in gambling will only occur by "chance" and anyone will never know whether they will win or lose at the end of the session unless they have ended their gambling session. So I hope you change your mindset and goal of earning in gambling from now on, it's all for your own good in the long run.

That is something that always need to be on the back of our minds, the truth is that even those that know that chasing their losses can be a dangerous thing can fall into this behavior if they are not careful, since losing control of our emotions can happen to anyone, even to professionals, and even a single mistake like that can be enough to carry you a great deal of trouble, and if this happens frequently then this could even ruin a person.

That would be fun if you really don't have the desire to get a big prize or jackpot. That's a bonus and part of the game. So thinking that gambling is a game will prevent you from using gambling as one of your sources of income. It is wrong logic to think that gambling will give someone extra money. In gambling you have the opportunity to win and lose. So how is it possible to think about earning money when needed from gambling? I think if you are a responsible person, of course you can borrow from your friends, instead of the bank. That's much better than thinking that with $10 you will get $50 from the casino.

Want to chases losses is a serious problem faced by gamblers. I found various articles where gamblers were trapped in negative things, especially fraud and other crimes, because they wanted to win after losing in gambling. It's a sad fact, even professionals may experience situations like this, although not as often as newbies. However, this has been mentioned in this forum, that we should never try to chase losses. Let you have lost due to gambling losses, just disappear. Because that is the risk of gambling. unfortunatelly, when we are active in one session, we forget this advice.

This is good mate and we must have this kind of mindset also if we will win in that specific day and stop then make sure we will not go back on playing in that the same day cause our Luck will leave I assure. Cause once we will win on that specific day then gamble again there's a chance that we will loss and all our winning will go back to the casino. And also I will strongly agree with this that once we are chasing our losses then we will loss more and more and it will lead us regret bin the future so it's better to control ourselves.

When I was trading forex, I do enter market when I have urgent need for money but I never won. I believe this will also be applicable in gambling.

Chasing losses or chasing wins as it might be called is a proven way to lose money in gambling. It will be looking like the next step will be a win while it is more depth of losses.


Whenever you are under pressure, you are definitely not gonna make good decisions. That is for sure

I agree with you, this misunderstanding makes them trapped in a cycle of addiction which makes them experience many losses, especially financially. with many cases of people experiencing big losses because they misunderstand gambling, when their finances are unstable, they force themselves to gamble using the amount of money they have left and hope that the money they bet can produce profitable wins that can help their finances. but the reality is not like that, of course the host will not let anyone win easily, the host also doesn't care about the situation that happens to the gambler, even if they go crazy, it's none of the host's business.

by continuing to gamble because they want to recover their losses it will only be an impulsive action where they will not care about the losses that occur, they only think about gambling and multiplying their money, moreover if they respond wrongly to gambling and they continue to gamble it will actually make them even more mentally depressed which it could possibly make them mentally ill. I agree with you, it's better to stop than to continue gambling with the wrong understanding, because that will only make things worse.

I can't say whether I played for fun, because every time I gambled at that time, I couldn't control myself. So I often make several deposits in 1 session. LOL  .
Now I no longer gamble for entertainment reasons or anything else. However, returning to the concept of gambling for the main job, slots may not be the right type of gambling. Maybe, playing cards or sports betting is still possible if someone have more money and control to gamble every day. Of course the risks is higher than crypto on bearish phase, Once again, this can only be achieved if someone can gamble with good control and have a lot of money to gamble everyday and can afford any loss.
