In my opinion without your own responsibility you can`t learn to predict. You can train, but the price of such predictions is zero. I think that until you don`t ready to risk your money - you can`t advice someone to risk.
Yes, i lost my money with free spins, and i`m sure that it is the main purpose of such bonuses - make the gambler spend his own money to get the profit from the free spins.
There is no better teacher than self experience. You can not teach someone without you knowing that thing through experience. If you must predict, you must have experience in predicting game or otherwise, so as to be able to predict for others. So therefore, you must have spent your resources to learning how to predict which means it is not free.
Perhaps it is more accurate to say that experience is the best teacher. IMO, someone, can gain knowledge from other people's experiences. yes, in this context, gambling.
speaking of predictions, in fact we can learn from people who have more experience and have extensive knowledge. for example, football observers, we can listen to what they have to say, whether it's related to techniques, formations, players, patterns, systems, anything related to knowledge that can add to our references. one more thing, understand the gambling we like, and gamble with something we know. that's important, and what to watch out for before gambling.
To analyze, predict, not only requires experience, but involves all aspects. That's why it's important for someone to recognize the type of gambling that we like. if not, it's just as useless. the point is, we know what we are doing. because, in combat especially sports, prediction is an art that few people are aware of. to achieve that, we need knowledge, understanding, experience and also insight. then, we combine through analysis and reach a conclusion which we call prediction.
Normal aspect or things in life which we would really be needing up to learn or would really be needing to adapt because there's nothing we can do from it.Once we do make ourselves getting involved with gambling
then there's no way that we could really be able to make ourselves that thinking that we could really be having that kind of advantage or edge towards gambling. Speaking about on the condition or situation
on which you;ve been dealing on something which it doesnt really require any money for you to make out some bets then it isnt really that gambling at all. You arent risking something which means that
you cant lose something and its not something that called gambling at all.
My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
I think everything that comes from betting is gambling. with money or free when applying or placing a bet it's the same. you place hope on your luck.
even sweepstakes conducted by large companies for their customers can also be seen as gambling. like two people watching a football match on television. they bet on the team to score the first goal, or the team to commit the first offense. and whoever loses will be hit on the head. it's a gamble even if not with money.
Gambling is something that we do make out bets on something which literally be putting up our money at stake for us to earn money which means that you would
really be needing to take up risks and on the case which we do see on OP then its not really that gambling at all but on how the things been done
then its considered to be similar.
I have no idea how many people in the world think that way, but I don't think it's only one person, my grandma.
