Re: What is the cost of your mistakes?
by

I assume that people come to the gambling industry as inexperienced people. And in the process of their activities, they gradually learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, some of these mistakes are dramatic and cause us quite serious psychological trauma. As a rule, this is due to gross errors and stupid persistent beliefs that push us to the edge of the financial abyss.

First of all, this is risk management and money management. The second is probably unsystematic play. Let me make a reservation that I do not mean casinos, as well as people playing "for fun". I mean sports betting.
So, how much did your mistakes cost? Did they cause you a serious psychological blow? What were your mistakes, did you learn from these mistakes and do you apply this knowledge in practice now? Were these mistakes simply painful, dramatic or catastrophic?
I`m not gambling man and i like maths. So before the start, i developed strategy for a few months. It contains risk management, money management, bet size and lots of other details.
After it i tested it about a month with the small bets and corrected it.
Only after it i started the game.
As the result, the main mistakes were fatigue. I hadn`t enough time to combine betting with main job and rest. As the result after several months i stopped the game. Now i think that i can repeat such betting but it would be shorter periods and after each gambling period would be the period of rest.

As the questions says, when do you stop? your point of no return?
~
Never. Until i have dreams that need money - i would continue the game. The problem is to combine with the main job, but i think that it is possible to play seriously few month in a row and make a break after it for few months.
Sport betting brings me money, positive emotions, so i don`t see any reasons to stop except fatigue.

If when you lose money you win money - gambling becomes dull like freerolls. It is still gambling but without risks.
But you`re right that with huge money your life would be another. You will think about lots of other things, gambling wouldn`t be the main part of your life.

This is true for us that still doesn’t experience the luxury living when we are rich. However, gambling is a source of entertainment which rich frequently use to have fun on things they have a lot which is money.

There’s a lot of high roller on casino while most of them are rich people enjoying gambling despite being rich and use money to enjoy their life.

We have different life choice tho.
I can suppose that part of these people visit casinos because they can talk with some other luxury people. Or there are some events they have to visit. It is another life with other rules and we can`t say how it is until we become rich enough.
Of course someone like the process of the game and they get emotions in casinos, but i`m sure that they don`t play online - they need show more than the game.

Everyone haa their choices but having an infinite amount of money makes you rich whether or not you invest. There's no point in making any investment to me because the main reason why we invest is to create more sources or channels of income so that we don't run out of money. If I had an infinite amount of money I would just spend on the things that I derive pleasure from and also donate to charity

A huge amount of money could open up completely different opportunities for you, you would definitely look for where to invest money, and this could possibly become your main activity. And if you love gambling so much, you could even build or just buy a casino and play there whenever you want, without the risk of losing a lot of money, because it would all come back to you. )
If when you lose money you win money - gambling becomes dull like freerolls. It is still gambling but without risks.

How to quickly forget a loss - make a much bigger loss. I dont think that losses should be forgotten. Its experience, valuable experience. Unforgotten losses mush sober up gambler from taking reckless decisions in gambling. Huge losses should try to stop greed, as they must remind that a person can quickly raise and quickly fall.
One moment bigger loss becomes critical to the budget. Smiley

But of course losses is an experience we have to get. It is impossible to become a winner without losses. The problem may be with the first loss and with the biggest loss, but even such losses are very important to become stronger and smarter.

Re: Is There No Good Side Of Gambling?

I thought as much with the way people talk bad about gambling although gambling activity is never considered as a bad activity rather the abusive makes gambling seem bad. If anyone should gamble the little they can afford to lose such complaints about heavy lose will definitely reduce but, it’s impossible because most people think they can actually win big by gambling with the money meant for important needs while addiction can be seen as bad behavior whereby a gambler gets focused always gambling when there’s nothing to show off. Definitely I have seen people who benefited from gambling if I’m not mistaking someone shared a good motivation about the money spent after winning, the only problem is few gamblers don’t value their win so they end up gambling everything again.
Cmon, you just hear here mostly bad stories. But gambling is just a tool that you can use in your own way. As for me - i play slots after hard day. Before gambling i drunk beer in such situation. I think that it is better to lose few bucks on slots than buying beer.
It is just one example how gambling helps people. Use it wise and be happy.

Re: Have You Ever Felt Like Gambling Was Affecting Your Life Negatively?
by
mak013
on 24/07/2025, 06:53:31 UTC
For me the way that can affect gambling negatively is to leave it without money, without money the problems will become harder and therefore trigger more things, then in view of this these problems we generate them ourselves, and that is called having irresponsibility, having irresponsibility the casino for those cases become negative, but the fault is of the player who does wrong.
I don`t think that it is serious problem. It is mostly about gambling addicts, about who we read lots of threads here.
But the truth is that there lots gamblers without addiction, who play time to time with small sums, they can allow and have no problems with the game. Except situations when the gambler can`t buy beer due to gambling.

We see lots of threads how awful is gambling. But threads about positive moments of the gambling are really rare.

Most popular services. You can use some unknown VPN or deploy your own VPN as i did. If someone need - he can find a way to break restrictions, but common gambler would prefer to stop the game. If restrictions would be not enough to decrease gamblers quantity - government can improve fines for example.
Can we really call those who constantly pass restrictive and prohibitive laws smart and wise rulers? This is simply absurd. They shoot themselves in the foot, and then complain that the budget lacks money due to a poorly organized tax collection process. After all, the legal gambling business brings in a lot of money for the country's income. So why should it be banned? This is some kind of nonsense and short-sightedness of those in power.
In one moment in my country were allowed everything. All kinds of gambling, all kinds of alcohol, even drugs - they were prohibited, but everybody knew where it was selling.
I`m happy that the main part of it is restricted or prohibited. About gambling. Today in my country there are several special zones where gambling/casinos are allowed. Online gambling is allowed but have some restrictions. As for me - it is about ideal decision.

чиновнику это всё надо подготовить и обосновать. это не не мешать, это работать бесплатно и, скорее всего, средства искать на проведение изысканий, экспертиз, персонал нанимать-оплачивать. это офигеть как дорого.
мне в чиновничью бытность как-то попал в руки документ, сколько стоит содержать 2х программистов с зп 50к шоле(ну это было лет 10-15 назад). детали не помню, но в-общем их зп составляла меньше четверти расходов.
и опять же. ты смотришь с позиции майнера. а смотреть надо с позиции чиновника, ибо он принимает решение. у меня почти на каждой работе 1-2 деятеля было. идея напредлагают и в кусты. а ты сношайся, думай как реализовать или как отписаться. а у тебя денег на это не заложено, штатка не выделена, люди по задачам чуть-ли не поминутно расписаны.
ну когда я с этим пересекался, то директор все экспертизы, оценки, выписки и еще че за свой счет делал. чиновник точно не перенапрягся папку по кабинетам пронести Cheesy короче копаем как и раньше.
ну вот с такой папочкой должны майнеры подойти к чиновнику. причем вопрос какого уровня. если чиновник может сам принять такое решение - это половина успеха. если ему надо вверх эту папочку нести - это брать на себя ответственность. кому оно надо забесплатно? а направление данное кто-то вести должен. это или кого-то дополнительной работой грузить или новых нанимать. а им рабочие места, технику, зп платить. ну и так далее. в любом случае это не не мешать.
в-общем в теории возможно. на практике - сложнореализуемо.

If you are extremely rich and you can just gamble up to your heart's content, does the novelty of winning wear off? Like would you get tired of gambling since there's really not much risks because you can gamble with any amount and still receive little to no consequences?
I would stop gambling in a moment. There are too much interesting things that costs money to spend time in gambling. May be i would like to visit offline casino sometimes, but it would be not for gambling but for the show.

I don`t tell that all gamblers are in these two points. But it is big enough part of common gamblers. If i can be arrested for 2-3 $10 bets, i prefer to exclude gambling from my life.
The same is about VPN. In my country government ban VPN(at least most famous of them), so i had to deploy my own VPN. And i don`t sure that lots of common gamblers would be ready to repeat it.

Of course part of gamblers would continue the game, but another part will stop.
Wow, VPN banned? That's not good. It's highly likely that the same thing will happen in my country, since the powers that be have no peace when people get information from alternative sources. Many sites and applications have been blocked, so you can't do without VPN. If they ban using it, it will be a complete disaster. I have no idea what to do in that case. I really don't want it to come to that, but apparently everything is moving in that direction by leaps and bounds. Every day there's some new prohibitive law. And it's been like this for several years now. The authorities have completely lost their minds.

Re: Which is more regrettable?
by
mak013
on 22/07/2025, 12:45:05 UTC
Let's say when gambling, you follow a specific pattern. Let us use lottery for example. You bet on the same specific set of numbers. What would be more regrettable? Betting on the same set of numbers for the rest of your life and not winning or... changing up the set you bet on only for your old set to win?

Basically, would you rather bet on the same thing again and again then regret not exploring more or explore different kinds of bets then miss out on a win?
I prefer to avoid lottery Smiley
I`m in betting only, so i don`t sure that it is comparable, but i`ll try. The only thing i understood that the main rule is to bet all events if the odds are ok. It would be better to catch a lose streak than to miss a win streak.
In your example i will change set and wouldn`t watch back.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.
by
mak013
on 22/07/2025, 12:39:50 UTC
This thread reminds me of the argument I was having a few days ago.

When we talk about minors not being allowed to gamble, it's a general rule everywhere, not just in some countries, so if a child who is below 18 years has been gambling without the knowledge of the parent and he or she happensto win an amount which requires advanced KYC to be passed, if the child uses his real ID card, it will be noticed that he's not yet of age.

As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?
To be honest, i think it depends on prize. If it would be big enough, it is possible that my son will KYC with my data. But i get the main part of prize for it and delete account after it.
If it would be small enough - i`ll talk with him about gambling and how to play without becoming an addict. And i wouldn`t give him my data.

не поверишь - майнеров. у тебя заход начинается с "дайте". с херали чиновник должен "давать" просто так, под какие-то невнятные перспективы в будущем? он тебе даст на 5 лет льготы, ты через 4 года закрываешься/банкротишься, а он обтекает, как давший на это добро? я уже не говорю про бесплатную работу по организации всего этого добра.
приходишь с готовым ТЭО, собираешь достаточно емкую группу крупных майнеров, идете на переговоры со взаимными гарантиями и обязательствами.
дык никто же не просит денег, майнеры скорей всего все оплатят по подведению, проектам и тд, от чиновников только не мешать. поставят мощные генераторы, оборудование, как бы это все как раз 3 года будет окупаться минимум. и смысл потом бежать?
туда же мелочь не придет, придут крупные компании с инвестициями. даже если это станет невыгодно через 3 года, все равно много плюсов.

ну может он автоматически отключается. я хз как котлы работают. смысл, что он постоянно включен и греет только электричкой одним котлом этим.
на даче у меня электричка дорогая, около 8 рублей. а в деревне неподалеку, да и у коллеги - около 4 кажется. давно не интересовался, но когда у меня 3.5 было, у них 3.2-3.3 было.
котлы отключаются когда нагреются и уже работают циклами, поэтому и расход ээ меньше.
я когда узнавал, там есть граница города, и весь пригород будет ээ по ценам города, поэтому нужно дальше брать, чтобы был деревенский тариф.
ну вот с таким режимом такие счета приходят.
у нас как-то странно. пригород - электричка по ценам города. поселки, номинально за границей, но реально уже город и городская застройка - электричка по цене деревни. дача на удалении от всех поселков - х1.5-2 где-то от города. но я не планировал майнить в деревнях, поэтому не интересовался тарифами, так, по фактам что рассказывали знакомые, кто где живет.

~OP~

Gambling addiction can have negative consequences, which is why many people speak negatively about it. The same can be said about smoking, alcohol, sweets, and other habits or pleasures that can cause problems when abused. But this does not prevent a huge percentage of people from smoking, drinking alcohol, and eating sweets. Moreover, some people love all of these things.

I have been gambling for most of my life and cannot say that gambling is bad. Perhaps it would be better if I were interested in something else, but I have not been able to find anything else that gives me the adrenaline and dopamine rush without leaving home.
I`m not a gambling man, but can say the same. When it was interesting for me - i began to play, when i felt that it takes too much time - i stopped. All these time a had only positive emotions and profit from gambling.
It is just a tool. If you break a leg with a hammer i don`t think that problem with the hammer. And gambling addiction is the same like others addiction - it is a problem but it is a problem of the addict.

Restrictions can`t stop 100% of anything. Always someone will break it. It is true for gambling too.
But as i said in that thread, restrictions will stop lots of gamblers. Someone don`t know how to use VPN, someone is afraid to break the law, etc. As the result someone will continue the game, but someone will change the way how they spend their free time.
Gambling is prohibited in my country and gambling is a punishable offense. But gambling in my country has not decreased at all, but is increasing day by day. Gamblers are gambling online and offline everywhere and this shows that banning it cannot stop anything. There is a common belief that people are more interested in prohibited things.

So many governments think that they can control access to a website by banning it, but in reality, in this day and age, no one can be stopped by doing these things. People get access to them in different ways.
Do you remember the moment it was prohibited? Do you have some statistics before ban and after?
I understand that number of gamblers growing up - young men begin their protests, a part of adults learn what is VPN, etc.
But the difference before and after ban would say, that the number of gamblers decrease. So it means, that the government can use such tool. If the number of gamblers would grow up seriously - they can increase fines or make something about it.

The best way to forget a painful loss is don`t lose painful sums. Sounds funny enough, but it works. My bet size depends on bankroll and i recalculate it regularly. So when i lose - i lose just some small percent of bankroll. I return it with the next bet.
PS. I tried but i can`t remember serious loss that made me suffer.
PPS. The problem only that with small losses your win would be small too.
That's right. Who cares about losing a few bucks? I'm sure very few people would care if they lose around 0.5% of their bankroll in a session. A loss is mostly felt when the amount lost is severe, that's when you see a gambler finding it hard to forget a loss. And this is why an effective bankroll management is very essential to every gambler, and also gambling with an amount that they can actually afford to lose, gambling losses are unavoidable so it's only wise to prepare and anticipate those losses, so that when they come, you wouldn't have to feel much of the impact.
It is well-known fact, but the main part of big losers don`t remember about it - they think about big wins. That`s why they lose and cry after it.
I often says that poor people mostly have problem with education, so they don`t understand how maths works and think that game is about luck. But it is about numbers. RTP always less than 100% -> player always lose on a distance. Just decrease your hurt before you lose.
