People cannot resist having fun, they don't even mind if it cost them money to be used to gamble, you will discover that while some gamblers are lamenting on losses from gambling, some are not seeing this as a challenge in any way because they have the money needed to gamble with and were not gambling with the mentality of making profits, which i think should be the primary reason why everyone as well should be gambling with such understanding.

There's still risks if you do play without minding about having money since you could be able to do so or simply that financially capable. Doing this might not really that give out that kind of stress but of course it would really be having some later con's on which you would definitely be that suffering if you do continue such behavior. Yes, its good that you wont really be finding yourself that getting stressed with gambling or on the money you do spend but as we do all know that everything should really be in moderation if you do really like for you not to mess up your life with or because of gambling.

Always set limits and only spend on the money that you can afford to lose as always. Dont make yourself that being desperate specially on chasing up your loses because on the time that
you would really be doing this then you are just basically putting up yourself into more bigger or much harm which you might be regretting for the rest of your life
and this is something that you should really be looking out for.

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.

People who depend on gambling to sustain and survive for themselves are the ones that find it this difficult to let go of gambling .Almost everyone has different stars in the gambling world,I've seen a man who has literally achieved so much from gambling,from buying a car,owning a house and lots more.

I do not criticize people who gamble,but having the mindset or feeling of making big wins from gambling is obviously not a good approach towards ones life.Its just puts you at risks and renders lots of disappointments.

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.

Almost everyone has complaints about gambling where they don't win big. But in reality, those who gamble only for the big win will stop at some point. Because there is a word called luck in gambling. When I first take bet I longed to win but didn't win and when I bet and held to lose I won more than I expected. Since then I never look forward to a big win. Unexpected winnings in gambling can bring more joy. My suggestion here is that gambling should not be considered in terms of making money or just winning. When the gambler removes the thought of winning from his mind, he can enjoy gambling.

Big wins obtained by people with big ambitions, most of yesterday's money winnings run out and come back again. and even big money winnings will disappear again and that's what I see from around me. without realizing it, a lot of time is wasted because of gambling, because you play too much. Over time there will be a position where we succeed in getting a big win

Yes, it usually happens around us and I once had a friend who was a gambler. He often said that he would stop gambling for a month if he won big and would go on holiday with his family, but it really happened. He won big at that time but it didn't last for a week. he has gambled again with the money he won because he feels that his winnings are still not enough to go on holiday. I know that everyone will continue to be obsessed with wanting to win big when they win, so it is important to control yourself when gambling, especially when you win or when you lose. .

Every gambler should have a certain budget limit so that they can get used to it when they lose and their budget runs out, they can stop gambling and play again at a later date, this should be done consistently so that they get used to it and know when to gamble and when to stop gambling, this is important For everyone before playing gambling, they know when to stop gambling, especially when they win big, but we rarely find people who can consistently do it. Even though in reality it is very difficult to do, for the good of the gambler there is no harm in trying.

This means that in gambling, no matter how good your approach is, in the end, fun can still turn into tension along with some pressure, and this can usually also be caused by a gambler mismanaging the time to gamble, for example, they gamble at the wrong time when they are experiencing personal problems, which means that losing in gambling can make them get caught up in emotions even though their initial intention was only to find pleasure.

And maybe I will go back to saying something that I have previously said above that one of the tips so that we can slightly avoid the possibility of addiction is to apply full awareness driven by assertiveness to maintain that awareness, the goal is that we are able to identify whether what we are doing is right or wrong, almost the same as what you said above.

You are right mate. A gambler is not supposed to gamble when they are not mentally prepared for such activity because it can result to loses even in a situation where they are not supposed to lose. Gambling do with mental and emotional readiness, if someone is not prepared for such activities, they can never performan well and can never catch the fun they have even wanted to archive.

Yes, that's the first thing that a gambler should pay attention to which as you said that a person must first have a mature self-preparation before finally engaging in gambling which is one of them by preparing mentally and emotionally so that everything remains fine, or the intention is that they are not easy to always end up with emotions when gambling. As I said earlier that in gambling fun can turn into tension when the person is fooled and carried away regardless of their purpose of gambling.

But on the other hand the whole key is to apply firmness to consciousness, which means you should always be able to realize that you are gambling which is always about winning and losing, and when you are able to maintain the realization that losing is a natural thing in gambling then I think it is less likely for you to experience emotions because you already know that emotions are always a part of gambling.

You did not tell us if your friend is addicted to gambling or not, for if your friend is not addicted, then I believe that the advice would be that he keep trying regardless of how many times he failed, gambling like you said is a game of luck, we either win or lose, but reason for the constant loss is because the house makes it so, which means, we are more likely to lose a game than win, and we should also realize that many of those who end up winning really big amount played for a long time and lost many of their games and bets before eventually reaching that point of winning big, so for someone who is not addicted, the best advice would be that he or she keep trying and one day, he or she will definitely get a hit.

On the other hand, if the player is addicted to gambling, the best advice would be that he or she stop, stop gambling before it destroys him or her.

because that is the concept of gambling to make people have hopes and believe they can recover from their losses and for me that must not be the proper understanding of the people.
gambling is where most people are being mislead of this knowledge .

I guess it is because of the adrenaline that gamblings give you,the adrenaline gets even bigger when the amount is increased.I know from personal experience that when the reels of the slots are spinning your heart beats faster and the feeling of being super hooked into it is great.Unfortunately this feeling ends as soon as the money and play is over and it becomes a feeling of sadness and regret,most people only realize this when they have lost.

People have different attitudes to gambling, for some, adrenaline is important, for others, winning is important, and for others, they just like the process. So if those who like to win will lose a lot, they will stop gambling because it will not meet their requirements.

You may be right about the adrenaline, when a player risks money they get a high adrenaline rush, and they like it. Someone jumps with a parachute, someone plays gambling, these are different degrees of adrenaline. But in gambling you don’t always need to spend a lot of money, even small bets can be enough, so it may not be expensive, you just need to think carefully about whether this makes sense, or whether you can find another way to get adrenaline if you only lose in gambling.

People do it because they like it, and in the case of your friend, he does it because he has got some expectation on the amount he could win by partaking in gambling regularly. So besides of the fact he likes the thrill of wagering money (as most gamblers do), he has expectations which is the harmful part of his sessions.
My opinion is you friend should get some kind of counseling, talk to someone with has experience with gamblers, both responsible and reckless ones, so he can understand what his position is and how potentially dangerous all of this is to him.

The best case scenario would be him Already being aware of how gambling works, so he is just venting on his losses, which is not necessarily bad, though.

Yes, with their goal of just having fun, they can't help themselves, maybe at first their goal was to have fun, but because of the results that made them disappointed it actually made them want to continue gambling because they wanted to get what they wanted. Unconsciously they have spent a lot of money on gambling where they are no longer having fun but pursuing wins that are not necessarily easy to get nor are there clear guarantees. When they realize that they have spent a lot of money and have lost a lot of money there is a possibility that they will regret it, but that is sometimes not the end of everything. There are gamblers who still insist on gambling again because they may really want to get a win that can cover the many losses they have experienced.
With those who gamble only thinking about winning, it becomes one of their encouragement to continue gambling even though they have experienced successive defeats. Also, they should not gamble with the aim of making money, because when the money they bet is lost, they may not be able to accept it and make them take or take actions that should not be.

It means that such a scenario has an addiction in his character, so he can't stop himself from simply stopping gambling. Even though he knows he already has a win to take home, And one of the reasons is that greed has entered his mind.

And when that's the case, it's hard to get rid of it, or it's possible that he's already chasing the amount he lost. That's why it usually doesn't catch up when the situation is like that.

You have advised him a wrong way mate because you only let him deal and find positive when he is still losing , remember that there are very few that won in gambling instead majority receive losses and that would be the reality that you must tell him.

and i also believe that better to not let him gamble until time comes that you guys understand what is gambling and how risky is this.

They gets tempts from gambling and keeps playing gambling without realizes that they already lose much money. Those type people will lose more and more money, especially if they don't aware about their lose. They will regrets their lose money when they stops playing gambling but that doesn't makes them really stops because they will back to the casino and continue playing gambling. Those people who lose only see their lose is just a challenge to gets their money back without realizes that they can't do that because gambling will not gives their lose money easily. They can just lose more and more money, even if they used more money. If people can break for a while from gambling and thinks about what they did, they will see that they made mistake and needs to fix it by learn to control themselves.

This is called "chasing the big wins" I guess. When a gambler wins small money, he starts chasing a big win, when he loses, he starts "chasing the loss" in order to recover his money and even win a decent profit. This doesn't end well. Don't give him false hope that he will just make a big win and quit afterwards.
Complaining that you aren't winning enough out of gambling seems stupid and immature. What does he expect? The casino giving him money because he's so cool? Grin

You didn't tell us what kind of gambling games does your friend play? Is it dice, slots, roulette or is it poker or blackjack?

other people have no intention of making gambling as their main source of income which is a good mentality that everyone should learn but it's hard to follow especially that other people gamble to make money and that's not anymore can be prevented because we have different reasons why we gamble. You're lucky if you just gamble for fun and you have money a money just for your gambling activity, but what about the others who can't really stop even if they don't have any money? they will be forced to continue gambling even if they have nothing just to recover the money they lost.

The simple answer to the OP's post is addiction, yes cause once an individual is addicted to something it's quite difficult for them to let go of it moat times, that's why most individuals would always fall back to gambling even when they lose huge amount of money to it, there are some who are addicted but they don't really know they're, to them they feel they're trying their luck and would probably succeed someday but the truth is they've become addicted.

Another thing is casing loses, this have been discussed in several gambling threads but I think there should be a constant awareness of the consequences of chasing loses to those individuals who do it would desist from it, apart from greed one of the major things that make gamblers become addicted is when they chase lose, it goes wrong most of the times and a bettor might end up having series or losing streaks.

I'll describe my silly story from a few weeks ago.
I had a sizable betting advantage from a multibet I did in a couple of matches that saw me earn more than x13 a couple of weeks ago and I had funds that I could have withdrawn at any time and with my large financial situation, I was confident and prepared to withdraw some of my money.

But the problem arose when my sanity was lost due to ambition as there were so many matches including semi-finals in the Champions League, Europa League and some big matches in domestic leagues such as La Liga and EPL that I was tempted to reuse most of the profits I had made earlier by betting again but the result backfired as I not only lost the profits from my big win, now the balance left in my account was not too much which made me realize that foolishness came to me at that time.
Although I always say gambling responsibly from the beginning, but at some moments in the end I have difficulty controlling it including a few weeks ago so it can also be the answer to why we always gamble even though we have experienced defeat and cannot stop because it is indeed a strong ambition that makes all our defenses and responsibilities become chaotic.

The ambition to earn more is human nature. But if you want to contain such emotion, you need to be strict with yourself even if you talk to yourself again and again. Most gamblers have the same dilemma, playing again after winnings. But to at least mitigate such emotion, you need to pause and ask yourself - to what extent you want this betting life of yours? How much losses you can bear before you stop?

The reasons are nothing new so to speak. We all know why most gamblers continue to bet even if they got their winnings already. They want more and that's the common reasoning for most. What else do you think gamblers want aside from money? Fun, pleasure?

That is the point where sometimes when losing no matter how big in the end continue to gamble because there is an ambition that sometimes we can never keep and we can't think rationally about it which makes this complicated and only realize that what we did was a mistake after we lost.

Agreed with what you said where we have to be strict with ourselves but indeed at some moments there is a point where we just can't rely on that and instead get carried away so that we forget the self-defense that we have built in discipline in gambling and that's what happened to me a few weeks ago. But for now regretting is also useless because it will not come back again so the most important thing for now is how we can better control ourselves and make this experience so that we are not easy to get caught up in the emotions of gambling.
