When I discuss the wide range of gambling and betting with friends who are not on the forum, I often notice their flawed thinking. If it were just once, I would not have given it a thought but when their flawed thinking about gambling comes up over and over again it makes me torn between wanting to help them change the way they think or just leaving them to continue with such thinking until some major gambling experience happens and changes it for them. Some type of this flawed thinking is borrowing money from loan apps to gamble thinking that when they win they will pay back the loan and its interest and keep the rest for themselves. They call this gambling, with other people's money. Another flawed thinking is their belief that paid between groups will make them become millionaires faster than if they are not in the paid group. There are others like this.
Remember when it comes to gambling, everybody thinking and mindset is different, you may be playing for fun,you set your limits and don't chase loss, while for your friend reverse is the case, how can you then explain to that person not to chase losses,set limits in time and bankrolls play for entertainment and others, it very difficult mainly when the person has the chance of winning often compared to you that win once a while, that your friend will not listen to you, in situations like these you can't change it rather leave the person to do whatever he wants in as much as he was told, at times those your friends might think that you are not happy towards their success allow nature to take it's cause, but for those that listen to you let it be.
For me I don't boarder myself in as much as I have told you the right things, i believe everyone is an adult, so you know how to live your life, but for those who are addicted through these means, you keep on talking and cancelling them so that they can minimize their gambling activities in other for them not to go into depression, because after collecting bank loans and other, he finds it difficult to pay back because of his loss in gambling without any win, the it will be too late to regret.
It is very difficult to fix these persons, instead talk to them to minimize their actions and activities.
