True I think they can't lie about what they feel when they lose, one of the reasons is because of their mistake in putting their hopes or expectations in a place that basically does not have any certainty and guarantee and in addition in gambling the percentage of wins is much smaller than losses so obviously they will lose more and it is a very wrong approach if you put expectations on a victory that is clearly difficult to get. True, gambling should be a fun activity and not make you experience a lot of pressure due to too serious and too many experiments so that obviously the number of defeats must be more.

It is usually true that those who have the wrong mindset and do not have the right understanding of how gambling works are those newly arrived gamblers, the fact is that just by getting one win they can change their mindset such as believing that "gambling is a place to earn" when the victory is nothing but just because at the same time luck comes, well that's what I always remember that gambling is a profitable business for the casino, the casino organizes everything so it makes no sense if you come to earn while on the other hand this is a business for the casino, you can't fight the house and if you fight then you will lose a large amount like gambling addicts.

I guess you might feel wronged if you have the wrong expectations. Gambling should just be for entertainment like the feeling when you're trying your luck and not some sort of source of income. Most long time gamblers understands that and have no problems.

Also, the house edge is setup in a way where it's fair for both parties, casinos are businesses afterall. Should I say, it is setup in moderation -- for the lack of better word? for instance, as we know, house edge is more on the long run plus each game has a different percentage of house edge so if one is concerned, they should pick within the lowest ones.

Problem gambling like this that makes someone miserable will look more complex, and this will happen to any gambler who is too addicted.
They will feel devastated and feel like there is no chance anymore.
The role of people in their environment is very important so that there is no excessive sense of regret.

When they feel left behind and feel that no one cares about them, these slumped gamblers have almost crossed their limits.
At this point, brands will probably be aware of what they're already doing.
That way, it will be easier to release them from gambling addiction slowly.

Actually gamblers are aware that the house or casino always wins, but basically. Humans have the instinct to seek sensation and excitement by gambling, even though there is a risk of losing money, people still like to gamble even though they know they cannot win because they are fascinated by the great hope of getting a big win.
And winnings or big winnings are real and not fraud, but this is a matter of luck, if you are unlucky you will always experience continuous losses because high expectations make you continue playing without caring that the house always wins.

When it concerns woes of gambling or the woes of a gambler, much is said than done to reduce gambling activities and addictions that have grown outta control.

A man lamented all through today of how he placed a bet and won only to see the game cancelled after winning. Although this is not gambling per se, still, one of the woes of gambling is just that steady rambling all day to anyone that listens, about how a game would have played out better , but it didn't.
The thought pattern during the rambling days will be flooded with how the game should have been instead of thinking in the present and making future plans.

Gambling is not what Op thinks it is, but at some point one would wonder what gambling is actually about, due to the way people get lost in the process. Imagine players losing out their money and still are interested in throwing more money into the game. As gamblers we need to know or understand that our choices is at stake. The money we stake and the time spent gambling is of the player's decision. One way, we feel sad about the actions of addicted gamblers in our family and neighborhood. But since it's self inflicted, most people wouldn't care about the gambler's problem. Hence it gets to a point where the addicted person begins to feel left behind, and that nobody cares to save him from his troubles. Such people may begin to think of the way Op sees gambling, because it'll look to them that gambling has taken almost everything away from them, which is not a good idea.

You just might not have given much attention to your composure as, everything you’ve written clearly sounds like in the opposite. Not any less negative by the way but yeah, that’s how I read it.

Anyway, having yo believe that casino games are manipulated or programmed in such a way that, it doesn’t matter what’s your prediction, the house will always win, that’s not entirely true.
Most casino has a provable fair system to determine fairness in there game offerings and in most cases, it makes use of your own inputs to run some algorithms and the result is what the system displays at the end of a round.

I might agree with you that the house have got an edge over your prediction but, your inputs does matters and there is a deal of fairness in casino game offerings.

When we enter the world of gambling, maybe we can be the luckiest people, when we are given the opportunity to win big. Remembering that sometimes the winnings we get in gambling can be beyond our previous estimates because the amount can be many times the amount of the bet we placed previously. However, we still cannot deny that being able to win big in gambling is quite difficult to achieve. When gambling, we tend to lose more often than we win, and perhaps to win, we have to experience several losses first. So I conclude that losing in gambling is a certainty, while when it comes to winning it is just a possibility.

So it is true that gambling is an activity that has a fairly high level of risk and can be quite a detrimental activity. And if we feel addicted to gambling itself, this can have an extraordinary domino effect, which can make us miserable.

This man has lost all to gambling and he is blaming the system instead of looking back at the mistakes he made while playing. Firstly, you should know better than anyone that gambling particularly the casino games are based on luck and it's not about your strategy or any extra smart from the brain. That's said, while you stand a chance to win is the same way you stand a chance to lose and sometimes it's even way more to lose than for you to win so stop calling a fraud. If really it's a scam as you said, they will be canceled and stop by now because a lot of people will called for the ban.

If you don't know how to play jackpot, why not try other games and see. We have more than 30 active casino platforms on Bitcointalk and ttey are function with each with their customers coming playing and going, I don't think they are scam. Take your time and do as I say or maybe you should quit for your own mental health because if you continue like this, you get annoyed at every call of casino gambling.

I'm not sure what you're saying, there is no easy money, everyone works hard and that includes gambling. For others it's just easy money but no, your money will run out first before you experience a big win if you're lucky. Are you one of those who gamble to get rich? You only get rich in gambling when you hit the jackpot bro and I believe that there are people who hit the jackpot in gambling.

Gambling provides an advantage for the house, and we actually already know that, but we still gamble because we want to make money from gambling. Many gamblers try to make money, but unfortunately, many of them experience defeat when gambling. They have been aware of this since before they gambled, but because their desire is stronger than the reality they have seen, that is what makes them still decide to gamble. People believe they can make money from gambling even though before they win, they have to lose first. There is no guarantee that they can win big after losing big, but that doesn't stop them from continuing to gamble.

exactly... They all know they won't get lucky at the first try, but they keep wagering - some would blatantly say that the effectiveness and frequency of a gambler guarantees their possible wins ... haven't they seen cases where people keep wagering all their household items, including the house itself without any single wins??... How then is this whole shiii Not about luck? The best advice I would give to anyone gambling routinely would be to either desist totally or have a personal understanding of playing strictly for fun...

Results are random, having their legitimacy ensured by provably fair mechanism. If the casino doesn't have this feature, avoid it. However, there is something else you must take into consideration: casinos also have a house edge playing on their favour on long run. You are never playing with equal chances against them (50% vs. 50%), rather they are always one step ahead, usually with something around 51% or 52% against 49%-48% for you. For that reason, you might have the perception results aren't random, because they are always profiting on long term. Results are indeed random, but the house edge factor prevents you from making long term progress at casino games.

Well, if a gambler doesn't know how casinos work, especially from the mathematical point of view, it's not casino's fault at all. The requirement for every activities you are going to execute in your life is to, first and foremost, understand how it basically works, what you can expect from it, what the risks are. You always have a choice, you aren't forced to gamble. So make your choice wisely based on concrete evidences and decisions which you won't regret later.

Well it may look like that but the casinos keep track of their highest win in their games,I am not talking about specific jackpot games but most reputable casinos have a table of Big and Lucky wins that offer to show people that there have been people who have won big with their gambling,I won myself last Friday x11339 multiplier,my highest so far but there are people who have hit well over x40.000 multiplier or more which I at least consider the same as hitting a jackpot depending on the amount you have bet.Of course in the long run the games make money for the casino but during this time luck is completely random and make some people happy along the way,of course the amount of people happy is very small compared to the astronomical big number of unhappy people.

Good reply Odohu. People tend to generalize thins because of their experience. Everybody is different. And in as much as people are losing in gambling on a daily basis there are people who are also winning on a daily basis. The casinos games he talked about people do win every day in it. Some games in casinos are won by luck while some are won with logic or i would say consistency in understanding how it is being played.

There are things that every gambler needs to understand and there are procedures that a gambling needs to follow to avoid some certain hinderances in wining or ending a gambling section with profit. Which one is poor management of finances. Another is lack of discipline and failure to restrict form gambling when they have finished a gambling section. If a gambler can manage all this risk, then he would have more success that loss.

If gambling should be a fraud as you call it to be, almost all country's governments would have placed a ban on it, telling their citizens to stay clear of it because of the fraud they find about it. But here we are, no countries have called out gambling to be a fraud. What we normally see is the instructions of gamblers to gamble responsibly and they should be above 18 years old before they start gambling.

For you to come up with this outrageous claim that gambling is fraud sounds funny because nobody has thought or experienced it to be that way because everyone who wins in it, is paid according to their winnings.

As long as they are legit, I think they are fair. And it's normal that they have some advantages because they are paying a lot of expenses to run their business. Not all reviews and scam accusations are true but some are only too good to be true. So, it's also best to not rely on one source or feedback but we should also check the other, to have a better judgment and to reduce the chance of being fooled. It must be easy to create a scam casino than the legit ones and then even if a casino is legit, it will still be hard for the majority to be successful and they can end up as a scam later on.

There are winning percentages shown apart from the odds. I don't think even a normal person won't understand it. It's just they are only hooked in the game and they are after the high-odds game as the return for it is also high.

not all gambling deceives gamblers but it all depends on how a gambler thinks. what this means is that a gambling site has large traffic and has a good reputation and there are still gamblers who feel that they are being cheated. I'm sure they just misunderstand gambling.
if a gambler who has a healthy mind will certainly not think that he is being cheated by gambling because they think that if gambling really wins, it is just a game to try your luck with a small amount of money that you can afford to lose and if you are not lucky, just think of it as entertainment because it only costs you money small amounts of money that you can afford to lose.

except for gamblers who have negative thoughts or perhaps have crazy thoughts starting from considering gambling as a way to get money and gambling with big money thinking that if they gamble with big money they will get a big win but when they lose the gambler will brag about being cheated by gambling.

unless you gamble using small money but betting on a scam casino site and that's the fact that certain gambling cheats you doesn't mean all gambling is scam.

I will not judge people who like to get on their nerves by trying their luck one day and playing in a casino. Sometimes you can have fun changing the picture in your everyday life. But we need to understand that when playing, we must be prepared for any results, so if we lose, we must be able to stop in time.
But when excitement overshadows everything and a person ceases to be adequate, putting all his last property on the line, this is where urgent help is needed so as not to lose the person’s health and sometimes his life.
What should choose to avoid going to such extremes? You need to know your temperament, and being a very hot gambler, limit your territory and not approach the casino.

Cool down. Maybe you are just mad after a bad losing streak.
Well, they are all rigged wherever you go because it isn't charity. And, if they keep the game clean, they are going to be bankrupt. This is a business brother and it ain't going to be easy to win against them.
Now, all we have is an opportunity, just one chance to get a good multi win then we can get out. There are lots of stories of gamblers who already made some money because they coincidentally hit the jackpot by surprise. All we need is to find a gambling site that will really pay, a reputable one that will give those prizes as how it was said.
When it comes to winning, it will always be difficult, especially with casino games. But you always have options. Most online casinos now offer betting lines for sports, Esports, and other games that you could enjoy. So, pick your own poison but don't expect to make daily income from it. It's gambling, not a job.
