So what are your suggestions towards this.

Not my money so I don’t have the right to gave him any suggestions on how he should play gambling. The only help I can give is to emphasize that gambling is for entertainment purposes only so all those motive that makes gambling as source of income shouldn’t be tolerated since all gambling games has a house edge advantage.

The reason why gamblers keep coming even if losing money is because they still have hope to win big to recover their losses someday. I’m thinking like this when I’m still naive and new on gambling so I understand what he feels for coming back for more even if losing.

There’s nothing wrong with that as long as he only use money that he can afford to lose.

I've a friend of mine who always complain that ever since he started gambling he haven't won a good amount, instead he'll be winning less money than what he expected but he can't stop. So I'm asking what do you suggest he should do at this case. For me I told him that he should know that gambling it's a game of risk and luck, but with the constant betting you might win the amount you've at mind someday. So what are your suggestions towards this.

I think he should keep it at this level, because having a mindset of getting it big at once usually it's not favourable as it might generate to an uncountable loss for him,he should be grateful that luck is generally on his side as it's making him win small amounts nevertheless he should hold on tight and don't be on a rush cause in life it's better of starting small, aiming big and making it all out someday this is the best strategy I'll say as pertaining Gambling that will help alot.and again gambling with an amount you can afford to lose will keep him on a safer side.

In addition to gambling being a game of risk, it's also meant to be for fun and for the purpose of just enjoying the thrill of the game while you get a chance to win some money. If he's enjoying the game and winning little amounts, then he's not losing at all, he should be okay with his wins except he's ready to level up his stakes, but while doing that, he should be very careful not to risk what he can not afford to lose, because that's when he'll start the actual complaint woupd start.

If he is constantly winning even a small profit from gambling then he just needs to save it all up.
Your friend is aiming for a big prize and he should be aware of how risky it is to chase it, at least he knows when to quit and to not let his greed control him when he plays.

I'm sure your friend has seen and heard of people winning huge amounts of money. This was embedded into his subconscious mind, and his subconscious mind plays this out whenever he is betting, so every time he bets, he is subconsciously and consciously trying to win, the second thing is the dopamine effect, a feel-good chemical that has an effect,, on our mind, so it's not about winning and losing its more on the feel-good effect brought by the dopamine.

Gamblers do things that are different from what they are saying, they want advice on how to stop gambling, but they are also thinking about their next playing sessions.

If your friend wants to stop gambling and is really serious, then the only way is for him to be under the care of a professional and full rehabilitation. Your friend is already addicted to gambling, and no advice can help him. Only a rehabilitation plan to take out all the symptoms of addiction.

So basically your friend gambles to make money, right? well, if he continues like that over time he will become stressed himself because his expectations do not match the reality. The advice you should give to your friend is that when he gambles he must understand that he can lose at any time and it is quite risky - he should gamble with a better mindset by not fully expecting that when he gambles he will keep winning. If he expects that he will be able to win a good amount every time he gambles, then he will be constantly disappointed.

the fact that he is even winning in some of his games shows he is doing the right thing but the losses are part of the process of gambling. You don't expect to win all the time if not the gambling owners will go out of business so you just advice him to continue playing responsibly, don't bet above what you can afford to loose regardless of the winning potential of the game. Gambling is not a means to financial freedom and so it's best he playes it with that kind of mindset and maybe follow it up as a means to having fun and not just a scheme that will certainly fetch in huge money. Everyone knows what works best for them and so he is in the best position to know if he should continue gambling or not.

Replying to the title of your topic. Alot of gamblers, have somany reason why they keep gambling and nonstop. Some gamblers continue like this, just because they wish to get back why they have lost die to their gambling activities. Some gambles for fun and thus just want o enjoy them selfs so they keep playing for the fun of gambling.

As for your friend, though he is able to win most times I would consider him abit addicted since he wishes to stop but don't want to.If he is tired of winning little then he should either stop or develop a new gambling strategy. Gambling can become addictive and uncontrollable when you don't learn how to stop.

My advice is not to bet an amount that you are not ready to lose, because in gambling when you are ready to bet you are also ready to lose 100%. So if you keep trying to chase victory, it will make you lose even more from what you have targeted. Create a gambling management for yourself, limit your bets every day/week so you will know from the time span of playing how much you managed to win and what percentage you have spent.

Tell your friend to be happy that at least he's winning. Tell him that they are some persons who bets and do not even win at all. I don't know what game he bet on but tell him that if it is the game of chance like slots , that he has no control over the money that he wins.

You're suggestion to him is good and I would also suggest that your friend should look into games of skills. He may have an advantage there to win big like he expects but this will depend on how good he becomes at the game.

So you went ahead and gave your friend the wrong advise, huh? Roll Eyes

When you can see that a person is getting addicted to gambling and is losing money constantly while not being able to get away from it, you are not supposed to encourage them to do that more, you are supposed to ask them to stop doing that because gambling is all about luck and if their luck isn't working, they shouldn't try hard because nothing will happen. It's not a door that is stuck and will open if you push it harder.

You shouldn't have told him that he will manage to win what he is looking to win some day because that might not happen. There are millions of gamblers in the world and I'm sure about 98% of them are gambling to hit something that will change their lives, but how many of them manage to get that? Not even 5% of the total, and that is a very low number.

Gamble responsibly

He is very lucky that he is winning small amount of money and not losing more. If he is looking for ways to win more, that can lead him to losing more money. Or is he losing money is what you want to say?

There is no better strategy than the gambling site winning more money from their customers. Tell him not to be greedy and be gambling as he is gambling. If truly he is winning small amount of money, it is better than losing.
