Re: $5 lost by a poor gambler is worth to him than $1K lost by a rich gambler
If we have to put those into context, it’s largely based on, what you’ve got left after the loss. That’s where you determine the worth of the loss from. It doesn’t really matter if it were your spare cash or not but, when you haven’t got much left, even the rich guy would seem poor about a $1k loss.
The thing is that it doesn't matter what the absolute number is.
The thing that matters is the relative amount of money that means to the gambler.
A rich person can be wiped out in a single bet, whereas a cautious poor person can continue betting.
on which means that the main difference would really be reflecting out into their status. This is why we cant be able to drawn up conclusions with this on which we know into this aspect that
big amount of money will really be basing up into your condition. This is why it would really be that important that on the time that you would really be making some dealing up with gambling
then it would really be just that only on the amount that you an afford to lose, you wont really be finding yourself on having some issues if you are really just that sensible and responsible
into your gambling dealing.

I agree. Many other hobbies are out there if that one doesn't suit you, but in gambling - you spend as much as you gain, and it's normal, if you had fun while doing it. It's part of the process.

Come on man, stop spamming with one liners. 100+ posts in less than 3 days in gambling...
On the topic subject - the way I see it, it is better to stop gambling when you cant afford to take risk anymore. In other cases, just take a pause and think about something else despite gambling. Relax, earn some money, and return when whenever you want. Those who are bad at self control, irresponsible, think that gambling is a money source, should not approach gambling at all.
Because that way we will avoid the possibility of losing a larger amount and will also keep you from regretting too significantly. But I am sure that it is an idea that will be really difficult for gamblers who do come with the intention of making money, because of course instead of stopping they will be even more blind, so we must understand that gambling is nothing more than a playground and not a get-rich-quick scheme.
when playing on gambling. On the moment that you are losing that much then it would be impossible that you cant be able to make yourself atleast wary on the actions that you are taking into.
If you've decided to stop just because you had notice something that you are really that becoming gradually addicted t hen it would be ideal. Dont make things that getting worst as
you had already had that seeing earlier. When it comes on having a break then it would really be that hard for you to make out such decisions on strict manner.
Usually people do tend to break out those promises they had made out as long they could be able to deal up with gambling then this one counts.
That's why we must use only the money we can afford to lose so we don't have to thinks much about gambling especially when we lose or wins in gambling. We will withdraws the money or left it in our account while we can returns to the casino and playing gambling in the next days. But the real winning will comes to us when we can withdraw the win money into our wallet so we can use it for many things.
That is the best strategy, there is no other , but of course here you have to have a lot of discipline , why? It is very easy to say it , but at the time of doing it , there are Players whose head is full of ideas , some are: why not bet a little more ? With that much , it is little that I am going to risk again , you should not pay attention to that type of Thoughts , because you are Breaking or Violating your own Rules , and this in the game, in trading , is the worst Thing you can do.strategies that rely on discipline will work for those with good control but won't work for the majority
I know this is harsh but it's true
most people will prefer easy dopamine and not a lot of effort if they can choose.
It's also good for us to accept gambling as it is, if not, we will only have the wrong notion about it and a mindset like this will only put gamblers into trouble. The way forward is to have gambling plans and to manage our ways to success. We should also ensure we work on our discipline. This is very important because no matter what we know and how we plan to gamble, if we let it lose, emotion will surely creep in, and that can't end nicely.
pure gambling needs no special skills apart learning to manage bankroll (maybe the big skill on gambling) and knowing when to stop
I agree that if you let emotions take control this can be dangerous and you may end up losing a lot, but this is often much easier said than done, what are some of the tools and exercises you do to keep calm and avoiding emotion to rule?
On the time that you would be finding yourself having those kind of struggles in terms of financial then the best time to quit or stop is now. Dont wait up for things to be more complicated because on the time or moment that you cant be able to control yourself then this do impose some serious issues or problems that talks about potential gambling addiction.
On the moment that you are really that making yourself having such moderation then this is something that would be must preferred. Making up withdrawals on the time
that you are making money or winnings then that would be much preferred.
I was just reading or following someone in Facebook and he is a former casino employees. And some of his followers are giving testimonies on the ill effects of gambling in their lives. But one confessions caught my attention when he mentioned that he got lucky in one casino and just betting for a less than a dollar and then he hits the jackpot and won big.
And he says that he lives near a casino and so what he does is that he requested to be ban from entering or self inclusion so that he will prevent himself from turning into addicts because he have seen his friends or families becoming addicted to it.
So my question, are you willing to go to this length for self inclusion because you are afraid that you will want to comeback to a casino and have the feeling of winning the jackpot and then become what others experiencing beginners luck and become addicted in the end?
On the moment that you do make out such decision then it do really shows that you are really that having that self awareness or control on which it is really that good. This is why on the time And he says that he lives near a casino and so what he does is that he requested to be ban from entering or self inclusion so that he will prevent himself from turning into addicts because he have seen his friends or families becoming addicted to it.
So my question, are you willing to go to this length for self inclusion because you are afraid that you will want to comeback to a casino and have the feeling of winning the jackpot and then become what others experiencing beginners luck and become addicted in the end?
you would really be feeling out on getting addicted then its just a good step or move that you had made on making yourself self excluded or having that ban on entering casino.
Its a good gesture or step since you are wary about on the potential addiction that you would be able to encounter. This is why you should really be careful and mindful
about on the actions because if not then this would really be that resulting into such huge problem later on.
Re: Share your stories on how do you get addicted in gambling?
I don't think its everyone of us that get addicted in gambling, except if there are situations in which we are addicted and still don't get aware of the whole thing, i see addiction as a misplace on priority for gamblers, i wont blame for some that got themself into this because they have much handling time for gambling than some other gamblers do, but if we are truly engaged in doing so many other activities that take much of our time, we are likely not to be addicted because we don't even have the required time enough to do so.
There is still some addicted gamblers that is aware that they are addicted but their problem is that they can not control their urges of gambling. I agreed with what you said, most times loneliness make us to gamble. Most days I gambled when am less busy because I feel lonely and needed something to keep myself a little bit busy, although I also make sure to deposit little money so that I wont spend much (just the omes I can afford to lose). But am happy because I don't get too close to gamble so that I won't become a victim of addict to gamble. Most of the time it will really be on someones mistake on decision making on why they do mess up their lives just because they are really that making themselves too delusional
that they could really be able to get all the loses that they do have earlier which is really that a very wrong mindset.
Difference Between Rich and Poor Gamblers Poor gambler loses money because he doesn't have the money for the next gamble, so the poor gambler gambles with a lot of thought. On the other hand, the rich gambler doesn't worry about them even after losing several times. Because he has enough money to gamble. But gambling depends entirely on luck, no one can ever say who will win in gambling.
That's the basic difference of rich and poor gamblers. The poor ones likely to gamble for a few times and when ran out out of luck, you'll never know when will be the next time that they will gamble again.
The rich ones are easy, nice going and have a lot of funds to gamble for as long as they can be.
One has nothing to lose, and the second - everything, so to speak, you are right.
that when it comes into this aspect then they are really that losing it all on just few bets on which this cant be possible into those people who are rich ones. They might that get bankrupt
but it would really be happening for a while or longer duration specially they do have that financial capability on things. The hard part on this one is on talking about recovery on which
we know that when it comes to this aspect on the time or moment that you do find yourself having no control. There's no such thing about unlimited fund.
It is really just that poor would really be losing it all in a short period of time.
If the question is when is the best time for a gambler to draw a line or stop I think it's clear that in a win or lose situation is a situation that is indeed highly recommended to stop, such as when you have managed to achieve a number of wins where stopping at that time can save you from the possibility of losing all the money that has been won which indirectly also saves you from regret.
And in a losing situation it is almost the same, everyone will never like losing money but in any case losing is a natural part of the game, meaning losing is natural but when the number of your losses is in a row then it is a problem, and that is why stopping when you experience the first loss is always recommended where the benefit is that you will avoid a much larger amount of loss at that time. This means that in two win or lose situations stopping is a wise idea to do, after all there is still plenty of time for you to gamble.
You set your limitations BEFORE you even consider gambling. Period. This relates to self-respect more than only money. You are already losing if you are gamble without a strategy. You are paving yourself for a world of sufferingAnd in a losing situation it is almost the same, everyone will never like losing money but in any case losing is a natural part of the game, meaning losing is natural but when the number of your losses is in a row then it is a problem, and that is why stopping when you experience the first loss is always recommended where the benefit is that you will avoid a much larger amount of loss at that time. This means that in two win or lose situations stopping is a wise idea to do, after all there is still plenty of time for you to gamble.
Dont be an idiot. Use discipline and intelligence. Know your constraints and know yourself. Whether you win or lose, the reason counts most. Are you afraid or ahead-minded and therefore quitting? The actual inquiry is that. Not difficult at all. It's about learning to be in charge rather than allowing the game to run you. Should you find that unacceptable, stay the hell away. Not a financial and emotional train wreck, gambling should be pleasurable. Remember that...
with gambling. Always set limits on the time that you've seen that it do able to hit up your limits or your boundary specially when it comes to financial or money.
You should know on how to set limits and never chase up on the moment that you are losing money because this is where you would really be making that impulsive which
it would really be causing up even more careless actions on which it might be resulting into even more disaster. This is why on the time that you would really be playing gambling
then better make yourself wary about on the risks involved into it. Dont stress yourself about being a winner but rather enjoy up yourself and the thrill that you could
be able to experience with gambling.
But I would be interested in how you answer the question of whether free games can be considered gambling. Another way to put this is: can gambling be free? Do free games excite you as much as games that involve betting money?
In my opinion, without involving money, it cannot be called gambling because there is no risk whatsoever in the outcome, we do not lose or gain anything other than just fun. But gambling can be free, for example when you get freebets or freespins, which when you lose you don't lose anything and it's a lucky thing if you can win it.
Free games still make me excited but not as much as when using money where there are emotions involved so the desire to get money increases, free games only relieve boredom for a moment.
Well I also agree with you although I don't know if my understanding of the context of gambling is correct though but like you I believe if you add monetary value or something that's value to game then it can't be gambling because gambling involves taking the big risk and making the move in order to derive profit and also thrills with excitement and most times the end result is always loses if you don't understand the fun part of it.
risking something an amount for you to win up something or any that does have value. On the time that you would really be dealing up with some free games then it wont really
be considered to be gambling and its really just that right that you should really be wary atleast on the things that you are dealing because if you cant be able
to determine whether its risky or not then you are subject to mess up your finances later on.
Usually what makes gamblers stake their properties on gambling are as results of not being able to provide funds to stake on or before undergoing on the risks. It's solemnly deep to their instincts that the game is an assured winning game and by then, they're intentionally ignorant that there's no assured games in gambling even while they've formally been aware of the winning and loosing percentages of the gamble and then gets regret when the bet gets lost.
You are right, the two reasons that leads to such decision by a gambler is of he or she doesn't have any money to stake with again and if he is so confident that the bet is going to be successful. Other reason that leads to such action is when the gambler have lost all his money in the previous bet and he wants to use the last resource he or she has to make sure they win back some money they have lost (just equally a pattern of chasing losses).
you are really that sure on winning the next bet or you cant just simply accept that you are losing and believing that you could be taking all those loses back on further bets.
These kind of scenarios are really just that common into casinos on where there would really be those gamblers who would really be taking up such measures specially
on the time that they are on the losing condition or situation. When desperation comes then it would really be that hard to control since your mind and emotions would really be
that primarily getting in line and end up on having that decisions. Regrets do always happen in the end and this is where gamblers do really mess up their lives due to wrong decisions.
Businesses all over the world are taking advantage of our psychology to try to make us spend more than what we can afford and to buy only from them, this is clearly a manipulation tactic but one that is very effective, as most people are unable to see the manipulation going on and think it is on their best interests to keep behaving in the exact same way, so suddenly they wake up one day and find out all what they have lost and they do not understand how they could get to that point.
The thing is that government is the cause all this business women behaving in such manner they feel like, I know quite well that if government should regulates the price of things it will not affect us, that's why you see cause of things skyrocket to that level, so basically let me use gambling as points of views, because I know that gambling is such that government and other countries law enforcement agencies regulates its ways, that if you are not up to age of 18 years you will not participate in gambling in such countries, but I do notice something important that if government use same application to business people thing's will be affordable The only issue on here is that this thing would really be that entirely be different on the time that you would really be that dealing up with online casinos on which you could really anytime
be able to play up without being detected specially if you are still young or underage and thats the cons on having that kind of technology nowadays.
Going back into the topic about achieving something from gambling then never make yourself that be going into the point that you are trying out to achieve something
via playing more and wanting to be a winner, with this then you would really be that putting up yourself on such big trouble and this is something not that recommended.
Winning in gambling will make your mood happy just as we get some rewards and we feel happy. These feelings are so great and we feel so energic and positive.
However, once we start to lose in gambling, we slowly move towards the sadness phase. If the loss continues and we keep on losing the money, eventually it can lead to depression.
Yes, I understand that depression is a very severe stage and it won't come at once if you are a new gambler but if you are not a responsible gambler, it is very easy for the gambler to lose his emotions and become depressed in life. Focus on other entertainment other than gambling for some time can be helpful in relaxing our mind and regrouping again to come back strongly in gambling with a strong emotion.
That infographic is the perfect representation of how gambling will trap people who are inexperienced and unaware of the tricks that betting can play on your brain. At the outset a casino is trying to make you super happy, it's in their interest that you win a bunch of times, even though they are slowly clawing away at your wallet. They'll even give you free money as a welcome bonus, so even when you're losing - "it's not your money" that was being lost. They hope that you spike a few high wins, which is built into every game, because the mind has this wonderful trick of flooding your brain with happy chemicals when you win, which will cause a very pleasurable memory association to betting, while disregarding all the slow losses as insignificant.
that you should really be that making yourself having that control and moderation on everything on which we know that when it comes into this aspect then it would really be
that totally a disaster if you would really be that making yourself that chasing up loses just because you cant just accept that you've been losing too much.
It would really be that normal that there would really be those common reactions because we are just humans and we do really just that hate up on losing money.
Re: Bank teller stole $28,000 from customers to feed her gambling addiction
Quote
In the last two months of her employment, the 28-year-old stole money from four customers, with the thefts only being discovered when one of them queried receiving a letter about money being withdrawn from a dormant account.
TSB Bank teller stole $28,000 from customers to feed her gambling addictionHow far do people go to feed a gambling addiction?
In this story we have a young bank teller, 28 years old lady, who stole 28,000$ from four different elders who were suffering from health and cognitive problems. Her goal was to fuel a gambling addiction, as presented by the defense at the court.
Families must be attentive to their elders when going to the bank and dealing with money in general. Scammers and thieves are everywhere and always ready to take advantage of the vulnerability of such individuals at an advanced age.
these kind of instances that a certain person would be committing out on stealing specially when they are that become gambling addicts and just like been said that the current position of a bank teller
would really be having that advantage because they are really that able to know on how to lure up those senior citizens for them to be getting fooled or been that decieved about some certain
financial transactions on which it could really be leading up by the use of those funds specially into a bank teller on which they could actually be able to do things such as this.
It would really be just that right that she should really be imprisoned.
Re: It's there a possibility of working in a physical casino and not gamble
Great question, OP.
Is it possible to work in a bar and not drink alcohol?
Is it possible to work in a cigarette factory and not smoke?
The answer is always yes and many people manage to do that.
If your friend has a problem staying away from gambling and his casino work is leading him astray, he should find another job.
Yes, this is actually true because we do know that each person would really be having their own levels on how they would really be controlling themselves in speaking about on the thingsIs it possible to work in a bar and not drink alcohol?
Is it possible to work in a cigarette factory and not smoke?
The answer is always yes and many people manage to do that.
If your friend has a problem staying away from gambling and his casino work is leading him astray, he should find another job.
that they are really that dealing with. Doesnt matter if that particular thing is in front of you or you are working into or not, it will really be just that depending into someones control because if you do find yourself having no control and would really be that wanting or liking to deal with the things on what you are current working on, then high chances that you would really be doing the same and this is would really be that just normal. This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that wary on the things that you've been into because not all would really be having such control.
or something that could be that seen on their workplace. There would really be those individuals who would really be able to make out such control and discipline towards their decisions.
Yesterday I played free card games on the computer and had a lot of fun and it was also quite exciting. You know, I play different games: both paid and free. And sometimes, based on the fascination and the pleasure I get, I find it difficult to say which games captivate me more. But I would be interested in how you answer the question of whether free games can be considered gambling. Another way to put this is: can gambling be free? Do free games excite you as much as games that involve betting money?
I also had some interesting thoughts on this topic, so here is one of them about what if poker players started playing not for money, but first played for years just for fun. I think that is what raised my level to a very high level, although it takes a lot of time and an experienced coach. The important point is that bets and playing for money knock down the main essence and meaning of the game, they seem to cloud our minds and we cannot think about anything else except money, how much we can win or lose. And it is important to concentrate on the game itself, even professionals will say the same, because they are first completely immersed in the game, and then in money and everything else.Good you made mention of a coach. It'll only take a mentor to be disciplined. Self-discipline is difficult to achieve. Humans work better when someone else directs and disciplines their behaviors. Currently, a lot of gamblers don't have a coach. They started out alone. If gamblers had a real coach who helped to strengthen their self-control, money may not have clouded their gambling perspectives.
It is really just that there are really individuals who are really that making themselves being controlled or being mandated on what other people been saying or suggesting.
If you are really that someone whose really that strong willed and having that kind of independent mindset then you wont really be finding yourself on being having that difficulty when
it comes into making decisions on your own. Speaking about free games could be gambling? From the word alone gambling then you are risking something, then if its free and risks free then
its not really gambling at all as simple as that.

In my opinion, it does not matter how much money is brought to the gambling site gambler if eventually he is able to withdraw the winnings and some time not to return to gambling. The fact is that when a gambler withdraws the winning funds he overcomes his weaknesses, and this is much more important than money. To make your mind defeated greed need to be very strong and responsible gambler. This is where the real success lies.
It is the bravery to withdraw that counts. Not everyone can do this because most would give in to their greed and bet for some more thinking they are having a lucky day so they must continue and try to get that best multiplier even though every profit they made is slowly going down including their own capital in the process.
I have been there many times and I've actually learned my lesson. It sucks to be in a position where you are regretting everything after that bad mistake of a choice.
that you would really be that having in mind. It would really be that something that not everyone could really be able to do it specially when your greed kicks in then it would really be
that so hard for you to be able to make yourself to stop midway. This is why tons of people or gamblers would really be failing up on doing such thing just because they were that serious
enough for them to have that kind of chasing up winning on which they are really believing that they could really be able to do such thing until that reality would slap up into their faces.
There is no reason to say that Gambling is bad for society even it may contribute to being affected nationally. Gambling not only affects the people who are gambling and as it is related to money it affects the members of the family, friends, relatives, and later on the nearest people, and in this way, it affects the whole of society.
The only bad thing on here is on the moment or time that a certain individual would really be doing things like too much engagement on which it would really be that resulting into addiction.On the moment that this one happens then this is the time where gambling could affect out negatively on someones financial life or status.This is why everything cant really be just
be blamed out on the casinos or generally on gambling because it is really that basing up on someones doing.
Re: Are sports betting winnings more like active or passive income, and why?
When we research online, we often find that gambling winnings are considered passive income because they rely on luck and don’t require continuous effort.
This must be written by people who don't understand the term itself. Passive income is something that appears on your account without you having to do anything. Therefore, things where you have to put work to make money, or spend time doing something, are not passive in any way. Passive income is your bank giving you money every month as interest. It's bitcoin appreciating in your cold storage.
A situation where you have to make a bet every single time and risk losing the money is not passive income. It would be if you had a stake in the casino and they'd pay you dividends, but betting is definitely active income.
It would really be totally opposes into the word itself that its not something passive because if we do mean up this word then this could really be obtained through those investments and business
on which we know that this is something that could really be obtained through this. Its not really that comes cheap when it comes to this manner but its something that most billionaires is really that getting involved into or to those millionaires on which this is considered to be passive.
Telling about losing while gambling then it is really that something typical or something which is really that standard thing because we do know what when it comes to risks then
losing money is really justhat normal part in doing gambling. Is there any fun on losing? Of course its not that enjoyable because on the time that you would be losing money
then it would really be that making you frustrated or be that disappointed on which it will really be just that a common human being approach or reaction. This is where getting impulsive or having
no control into those people who are involved into and this is why they would be coming up with those actions on which arent supposed to be done in the first place.
Your right no one is always happy when they are losing money and of a true it makes very saddened that when you gamble and you keep losing its very annoying to an extent whereby sometimes you could feels discouraged while gambling. But as chronic gambling who always knows what he is doing he wouldn't feel bad rather could be praying for just and opportunities to have winning.losing money is really justhat normal part in doing gambling. Is there any fun on losing? Of course its not that enjoyable because on the time that you would be losing money
then it would really be that making you frustrated or be that disappointed on which it will really be just that a common human being approach or reaction. This is where getting impulsive or having
no control into those people who are involved into and this is why they would be coming up with those actions on which arent supposed to be done in the first place.
There always will be another day to have a better experience, so why not try it when you will be ready for it after a bad day? That's my opinion, of course. Some people can't bear the fact that they spent everything without their funds back or doubled.
Losing is never been fun and thats why it would really be making up someone becomes impulsive on the time that they would really be losing up money on the time that they do gamble.
This is really that actually common and something that will really be an inevitable thing on the moment that you do play gambling. If you do hate up on losing money then gambling isnt for you
because this is really that a normal part when you do gamble so it would really be better that you should really be accepting it out on the time that you do gamble on which losing
is really that just part of the game. Therefore, it would really be having sense that you should be accepting your fate or possible conditions on the moment that you do deal or engage with it.
