Topic: Who are the most vulnerable - page 6. (Read 2141 times)

The problem is that the parents aren't free with their children. In Western countries, most parents work, and their children live alone in the house, and sometimes they don't even have friends outside of school. So, they end up on the internet and spend their time browsing various and restricted things to which they should not have access.

But the parents aren't aware of those things because they are busy handling their business or job. In other countries, children mostly love to spend time with friends, and the parents are a little harsh with their children. If parents know their children's doing something bad, they even beat their children, which western countries consider as child abuse.

Trying it out for as long as you could be is hard from those people that are mostly vulnerable with their status of life. The poor, the jobless, the average guy, the rich, I mean in every aspect of life and status, everyone can be the most vulnerable ones that can be addicted to gambling. And even the ones that are on the right age, there's no escape on it because no matter how you're going to do and control yourself from being one, you'll never know how long your patience is and how long your limits are.

Well, lemme also remind you that whatever it is that you do, be it for fun or money, there's a possibility of becoming an expert with time, thereby understanding how to navigate through -- that alone is one way to fall into Ludopathy; as long as they derive PLEASURE (regardless of if it's the pleasure from making a huge win, or just playing around) they can still be addicted to it..

Hold on a second, what's the difference between a gambler that gets a seat on a baccarat table just for fun, and an intentional gambler?? Haven't you heard cases where a rookie sweeps a casino off their base with a huge win that sometimes, is being paid instalmentally? Don't play!

"a young girl picked a piece of paper from the trashcan in my local stall and wrote out some random numbers from the fixtures"... Guess what? That was it! #18,000,000.

If only possibility, that was true but he is talking about same chances there, which I disagree because not all are vulnerable. Also, in most countries, the legal age of gambling is 18 years old and above, so there is no way that young people are going to get addicted on it, however there are still video games which has a loot boxes (which is said to be another form of gambling) and a lot of kids are addicted to it.

If we still talk about the age, there are really-old people who are not capable anymore of gambling or do any other addictive things but they are only waiting for their lives to end. (I'm sorry if that sounds offensive, I don't mean it though). Same goes to the new-born individuals.

The only thing, they can do is to eat (drink milk) and wait for them to grow. If we don't want to end up becoming an addict in gambling, then there is a better way than still gambling but playing wisely and that is none other than to not gamble at all.

This is more sure because I'm sure that no matter how confident we are, there will be something that will play tricks on us and screw us in the process. Gambling is not hard to understand and we will literally just push the button to play but the problem is our emotions that can jump depending on the outcome of the game.

Yes, the possibility of addiction applies to everyone regardless of who they are, old or young, poor or rich, everyone has the opportunity to end up becoming an addict, and in the end the point is not much different from what you said that if we don't want to end up addicted then gamble wisely in the sense of gambling with full limits on time and the amount of money at stake.
Therefore, this is the reason why I often say and advise anyone, especially those closest to me, to first understand what they are actually facing, the way is to rely on a rational mindset in responding to gambling so that you do not misunderstand what is meant by the chance of winning in gambling, and if you have done everything well and correctly then I think you should be free from addiction.

As somebody that's living on a developing country, I believe that the most vulnerable right now are those poor and middle class that have salaries that are barely enough for the whole family for a month.

Anybody can be vulnerable when it comes to gambling because anybody can try it, anybody that has access to smartphone and an internet can try it, anybody that has an idea to it can try it, anybody that are curious on what gambling can give to a person can try it as well. I stated that the poor and middle-class people are the ones that are the most vulnerable just because some of them might've seen some advertisements somewhere regarding people who earned lots of money just by doing gambling and will have this thinking of "If they can achieve it, so do I." hence, they will also try it since they're also having a hard time financially and they see gambling as their only way to be rich, or at least live a better life.

While there are certain factors to it, all of us are very vulnerable when it comes to gambling. It will all depends on our financial status, our mindset, how we see gambling and many more.

Their parents will be the person who takes responsibility to their children. If parents awareness can increase and can give explanation to their children about many things related to gambling, that will helps their children from gambling. If many parents can do the same thing to educate their children, the problem in gambling may reduce a lot because children will know that playing gambling can not gives them money but will makes them lose.

When parents and children have a strong relation, they will not shy to share many things and discuss each other so they will have a chance to protect each other, not just parents to their children but vice versa. It needs more attention from parents to guide their children so they can grow up without having a problem and can enjoy their life better.

Nobody seems to be willing to do anything to address gambling addiction on a government scale. Sure, you can geoblock casinos, but a shady entity will just fly under the radar and advertise on questionable local sites.

On the moment that you do chase up loses with gambling then you are already that making yourself having that guaranteed situation on which you will really be ending up on getting addicted due to that kind of impulsiveness when it comes into your gambling loses and would really be trying out to make those kind of behavior on which this one is really that not recommended.  When it comes into those people who are vulnerable on which there's no exemption on who would really be the one will really be able to get addicted once they do mold up such kind of mindset and impressions towards it.
Gamble for fun and never ever to chase up loses because on the time that you do have that kind of plan then you might really be having that kind of tendency that you might be that ending up on some problems.

Dealing up with gambling should really be on someone who are already into their right age and right awareness and perceptions towards thing. If you are really that being too desperate
then you are really that bound to have some issues and you should really be that trying out to avoid it as much as you could.

Says who? The poor suffer so much ridicule in your hands simply because they are poor and because you believe they are classless, while the rich always enjoy the automatic praise simply because they are rich. But this is not always true, "the rich also cry" and it's not all the poor people who are senseless, so let's stop painting the poor as entirely brainless all the time.

It is not all the poor who would finish their money before they leave the casino, if you view that as untrue, look around you, you may ask questions from people as well, only a small proportion do that. Also, many rich people get intoxicated with money and ego at times and overspend too, they may realise this when it is too late. Even if they do not show the pain, that doesn't mean it did not hurt them. Their better leverage is that they already have a working business, they will always have something good to fall back at.

Awearness to anything should start from homes, just as you mentioned that parent should look after their kids and make sure to kmow what and where they are spending their money on, you are right about kids having access to devices and gadgets that could be used for gambling and other stuff.

Ordinary and average people can not spend their hard earned money to spread Awearness of the dangers of gambling from a tender age, and casinos can only try their best by telling users to make sure they are 18 and above before signing up on their casino to gamble, most casinos dont even implement any measured to ensure that this rule is effective.
So, the whole thing falls on the shoulder of parents and guidians to look after their children and wards, and make sure they aren't into this stuff while they are under aged.

The question is, who is going to explain gambling to them? Casinos promote their business because that is what they do. However, we are average people, and we cannot spend thousands of dollars just to spread awareness. All we can do is write a post on social media or forums and not fall for gambling too early. But I don't think those people will see that.

The parents should be more careful with their kids. They should monitor where their children are spending money and what they do with the device. In most countries, kids have access to smartphones and computers which they can use to do whatever they want. 

Gambling is a rich man's game but it becomes serious for poor people, many people who have financial problems and they are looking for ways to fix it and not a few people like this run to gambling hoping that the funds they allocate can multiply and make them profit quickly, but instead of wanting to improve the situation, what happens is that it makes the situation more complicated.

The chances of losing money in gambling are indeed high, because for the host they have a greater chance of winning while for the player they only have a smaller chance of winning, but many force themselves to win and what happens is they lose control of themselves and money in large amounts.

I agree with you that people that can easily get addicted to gambling are those people who are handicapped financially because they are the major loss chasers, they believe that they can be very wealthy through gambling as such missing priorities failing to understand that in gambling, losing is part of the game, once you lose, you accept it and continue if you want to, not having in mind that you will surely get your lost funds, people that understand gambling never get stucked on the way.
I want you to understand that someone can be very busy and stil  gamble aggressively, currently you must not go to live casinos or bet shops to gamble, anyone can gamble at the convenience of their hoem or anywhere they are, so no matter how busy people are, they can gamble uncontrollably, it all depends on individual mindset and the nature of their job too.

Though idleness is also a factor in real sense but as I said earlier it depends on individual mindset, there are people that are iddle but still do things normal, gambling addiction is caused by greed and inability of someone to controls his or her urge of wanting to arrive at impossible point.

More vulnerable is the one who is influenced by emotions, in gambling it is extremely dangerous, when there are several losses you need to distract yourself, but if you do not do this and continue to play on emotions, then you can only make things worse. And it does not matter how poor or rich the player is, if he does not know how to stop in time, then he will be vulnerable and can lose everything he has. An example of a gambler Karas, who was discussed in the neighboring topic, he was a very rich player but in the end he lost everything he had.

Those that are vulnerable the most are the category of people that are not financially stable, gambling when you are not financially stable can cause a lot of setbacks and this can affect you in a lot of ways. My boss at work always tells us that gambling is for fat pockets only. People who get affected the most by gambling habit are people that are struggling financially. It's surprising that some poor gamblers stake as though they are rich, these is what cripples their finances and makes their situation more critical. The system is designed to take from you more than what you win.

Who is most vulnerable? Of course everyone who gambles has the same chance of becoming addicted to gambling, both old and young can become addicted at any time when you or all of us lose control. So the key to minimizing gambling addiction is to try to stay rational, control yourself, and disciplined management in gambling.

Due to the biased attitude of the general public, many gamblers and betting enthusiasts are subject to attacks and slander. Society simply loves to simplify everything: "A gambler means definitely an addict." But this is not true. Even managers on our forum often brag about their victories in gambling and betting. And at the same time, they are all respected people who perform a huge number of duties.
I think that this whole phenomenon works in the same way as the misconception that "planes are constantly falling."

Even if they know that is a gambling games, they will not think much about that and still deposit some money from the way that they know. Yes, they see the big wins on social media or other apps so that makes them curious. That is normal for teenager that want to know many things including curious with gambling but if they have knowledge about gambling that explain them to be careful, they will consider not to click the link. The curiosity in their ages will be high as they want to explore many things that they don't know before. So without a proper guidance from their parents, they can gets in a wrong way that can harm their life.

This does not make sense to me. Before someone starts playing in a casino, they have to make a deposit or get a bonus to play. So, if someone makes a deposit and starts playing after that, they know what they are dealing with. I don't think they cannot understand that it is gambling. However, they are curious about those games because they see big wins on social media or random apps.

The casinos advertise their business everywhere. They promote their business on social media, on sports, on the roadside banner, and everywhere you can think of. This makes them curious to try what are those games and if it is possible to get such big wins.
