Re: The danger is the addiction, not the odds

Hi folks,

Yes, as the title says, I see a lot of negativity here with many people complaining. But the issue is not about the odds. You can win even when the odds are not in your favor.

I will explain: many random people everywhere in the world, managed on a random day to win at the national lottery, several millions $. Yet, the odds were not in their favor at all! National lotteries actually impose a much bigger margin (protection) to make sure they win more than they lose.

The point is: you can win big on a given day, if you get lucky. And yes luck strikes everywhere once in a while.

The main issue I see in those threads here is people totally addicted, investing a lot of money, chasing their losses, increasing their stakes after a loss.

The danger is the addiction, not the odds.

My opinion anyway.

somehow i agree with this certain topic, the more you can control yourselves from gambling, the more you are winning, because the more you gamble, the more chances you will get lose. Its simple, just be moderate in gambling, just make it from time to time not everytime.

The best thing you can do in gambling is only controlled yourselves, you are not greedy and will stop if you win some money. The more you gamble, the more chance you will lose, it is a wise sentence, but unfortunately, not many gamblers won't listen to that Cheesy

We still playing gambling even we know the chances to become addicting will wide open, but some of us always remember that they need to get out from the gambling as soon as possible if something goes wrong.

Having self control in gambling is really a hard thing to achieve, because in most of the cases the user wins by the starting events. This gives him the confidence level of winning big. They don't realize that our funds were going out of hands having confidence. When the user fails an event automatically he won't get a mind to leave it. He intend to retain back the loss from the upcoming events. When this too won't go as expected the user doesn't have any other go. This in most case leads to addiction.

The new gambler will have a bigger chance to win in their first-time gamble, and maybe they can win in the second and third round. But they cannot always win in the next round because the house will do something to prevent them from winning again. It's time for the house to take over their balance without they realize. I know some friends who were having good self-control in gambling, but for a long playing, finally, they lose their control, and in the end, they go home without any money at all. And they start to play in the next day and the long-term, they are starting to become addicted. It's a sad story for them, and I still remind this as a lesson for me.
