Re: Tell me how this is not laziness

Laziness and poor economic conditions are the perfect combination to make people lose their common sense, ultimately turning gambling into a way to make money. In fact, gambling is actually one of the many ways to waste money, and it's been proven that the majority of gamblers lose more than they earn.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult for such gamblers to understand this. Their minds are closed, always wanting everything to happen instantly, even though there will never be significant results with just a little effort.

Re: Losing time in gambling is worse than losing money.

However, if you gamble excessively without setting time limits, I understand that time is a very important thing in life and shouldn't be wasted. However, I usually only gamble when I have a boring free time with nothing to do, and that's when I'll gamble with a small amount of money. When my time is up, I'll go back to other activities.

It's certainly concerning when someone loses a lot of time in addition to losing a lot of money, but one thing I will say: never think of exchanging your time for money in gambling, don't think about the reward.

Re: Reason to return to gambling after quitting

Hmm, I think it's likely he was in a fairly active gambling environment, and his return to gambling is likely due to his inability to resist the temptations of his environment, leading him to relapse.
On the other hand, it's perfectly fine for him to return to gambling, but I'd like to ask: was he previously a legitimate gambler or a problem gambler? If he previously gambled legitimately, his return to gambling wouldn't be as prone to addiction, but of course, the possibility always exists.

Re: Failure is never final

In essence, failure occurs when we give up and stop trying. Isn't that what you mean, OP? I also agree with this opinion. Those who fail are those who can't continue. The reasons can be numerous, but that's the path to success, and that's why successful people, especially in trading, are a minority.
By the way, I disagree with your opinion about "trading being a matter of luck." It's not gambling. While luck is sometimes needed, most trading requires skill and knowledge to generate profits, and that's why we must always keep learning.

Re: How many hours do you play in slots?

You've noticed and felt it yourself that your eyes often hurt when you play for hours. My question is, why don't you stop immediately? Don't you realize that it's because you're staring at the screen for too long? Honestly, I'm a slot player too. Sometimes I play for hours, but I've never experienced the same thing as you, especially with your eyes. What I often experience is boredom when the game goes on for too long, my balance just keeps spinning, stagnant.
I don't think there's any better advice than to stop, which is why a gambler should have a time limit when playing.

Re: My opinion on when bets should increase

Yes, stay disciplined about the amount of money you can afford to lose. Never try to exceed it, as that will lead to problems. Regarding capital, we all agree on this: secure your initial capital first (in case you win).
By the way, I'm suspicious of gamblers who increase their bets. I believe they want to win bigger. This means they have high expectations for winning, and this is certainly the wrong mindset and approach. The level of disappointment will certainly be very high when the results don't meet expectations. This is why it's better to stick to the minimum bet amount.
The problem or impact of gambling that arises is basically the result of the excessive behavior of the gambler himself, so for gamblers who have strict discipline they will not overdo it in gambling, such as for example by depositing money that is in accordance with their abilities. By increasing the bet, of course, there is no denying that the goal is to get a bigger win, but the real provision is that the victory is uncertain so the profit that has been obtained can be lost again, especially by increasing the bet, maybe this will speed up the exhaustion of all the balances in the account.

The first point is that there's no certainty or guarantee that increasing your bet will result in a win. The second point is that gambling largely relies on luck regarding the final outcome. The third point is that excessive action will only accelerate the loss of funds and lead a gambler to emotions that will also lead them to deposit again immediately, especially when they're trading with the intention of making a profit.

On the other hand, aggressive action can actually be successful and lead to big wins, but the problem is, what if we lose? Isn't it a fact that we lose more often than we win? This is the part that needs to be considered.

Re: A reason you should be careful comparing your trades.
by

on 07/09/2025, 03:48:56 UTC
In my opinion, every trader has their own way of trading, even if the strategy is the same, they usually have several different ways of executing it and this is the reason why a strategy that works for others turns out to be different for us, I understand this after I went through the process of 8 months of learning and also trying to copy other people's strategies, that means for me comparing our strategies or trading methods with other traders is useless, unless the goal tends to lead to risk management such as limits, now I prefer to learn autodidactically and create my own strategies from the results of learning.

As long as they can be responsible, I don't think there's a problem. It's a bit of a shame that they lost so much money on something so insignificant, but that's a consequence of their own choices.

There's nothing wrong with their decision, as everyone is free to make choices and has the right to choose. I just hope they soon realize that investing their money in something more beneficial, like investing, is much better and more profitable in the long run. Wink

Anything that leads to risk management to minimize the amount of loss is always good to do, such as the stability that you apply to the allocation of the capital you bet, you also have a good idea that the first thing we should pay attention to is securing capital first, especially when we win, but for other ways related to some of the initial methods you explained about increasing the number of bets, in my opinion, it will not always be a benchmark for achieving victory, meaning no matter how big or small the capital you bring, in the end, the problem of winning cannot always be known.

For me I don't think bets should be increased but we should keep using the same amount that we have been using in making us profits. The only thing that we should do is to take out our initial capital so that if we're there lose everything, we didn't lose our capital but before that happens, we should have taken precaution by stopping to bet. Increasing our betting amounts although it increases the amount we're to receive if we win but also puts us at a disadvantage because when we lose, we're going to lose more money than the initial amount we would had lost if we stayed on our initial deposit without increasing amounts.

Yes, stay disciplined about the amount of money you can afford to lose. Never try to exceed it, as that will lead to problems. Regarding capital, we all agree on this: secure your initial capital first (in case you win).

Re: Traders or Gamblers? Most of Us Don’t Know Which One We Are
by

In fact, many traders engage in trading but treat it like gambling. I mean, as you describe, they pretend to trade, but their approach is like gambling. There's no strategy or analysis; they make decisions based on hunches driven by hope.

Not all traders, especially beginners, realize this, especially those with FOMO. I was a bit like that at first, but over time, I sought more knowledge and references about trading. Eventually, I realized that I should have avoided opening a trade if I didn't know the reason. In other words, I would only open a position when, for example, the current market conditions aligned with my strategy.

Re: How quickly do you forget a loss

There is no gamer that will say they haven’t lost a game at anytime. We have our different staking abilities, I am referring to what you consider your high staking power. Last season was my best season in sport gambling but I had days that i had bitter losses.

I will like to know how quickly do you forget a painful loss and bounce back. I hate losing and after a big loss I will be frank I don’t forget it immediately although I don’t let it define my next game but it takes a while for me to forget a big loss and the best way I forget about a loss is how fast I can have a win in my subsequent games. A win is like an antidote to my sadness after a loss. So how fast do you forget a loss and what can help you in forgetting about it.
How quickly a person forgets a gambling loss depends on the amount of the loss. If a person loses an amount that they can afford to lose, they will forget it immediately, but if someone loses an amount that they cannot afford to lose, it will take them a while to forget. There are also gamblers who lose everything in gambling and cannot easily tell, and many even commit suicide after this incident. so not everyone has the same time to forget about loss.

In simple terms, what you said is true, that how quickly someone forgets a loss depends on the amount they lost, and it also depends on what their goal is in coming to gambling, if for example from the start they came with the aim of looking for a win then no matter how small the amount lost, it will still be difficult to forget, because usually gamblers who come to make money will never be willing to lose their money in any amount, so far I think those two things will be the determining factor.

Re: Mengubah insecure jadi bersyukur
by
nara1892
on 05/09/2025, 15:42:37 UTC
Sesekali memang saya kadang merasa insecure ketika melihat orang lain memiliki kelebihan yang saya tidak miliki, tapi saya ingat yang di katakan oleh satu tokoh yang mengatakan "cintai hidup yang kita jalani, dan jalani hidup yang kita cintai". Kutipan inilah yang saya pegang agar saya tidak merasa insecure dalam banyak hal meskipun sebenarnya memang kadang saya merasakan hal tersebut tapi tidak ada gunanya merasa insecure lebih baik bersyukur dengan apa yang kita miliki sekarang, juga kita memiliki pilihan sendiri yang pastinya pilihan itu adalah yang terbaik untuk kita.
Jangan merasa insecure, kita memiliki porsi kita sendiri, jalankan selagi itu tidak merugikan orang lain. Bersyukur dengan apa yang kita miliki itu adalah salah satu kunci hidup tenang.


Terkadang yang membuat kita lebih bersyukur mencintai diri sendiri adalah dengan melihat kekurangan orang lain sehingga kita bisa berpikir bahwa kita lebih beruntung dari mereka jadi kuncinya kita tidak boleh melihat nikmat kelebihan oranglain jika tidak ingin merasakan insecure karena diantara kita masih banyak yang lebih kekurangan bersyukur adalah nikmat yang tiada habisnya jadi cintailah diri sendiri sebagai mana mestinya karena dengan mencintai diri sendiri kita bisa lebih bahagia dalam menjalankan kehidupan kita.

Pemikiran yang bagus, terkadang saya juga menggunakan cara seperti yang anda sampaikan ketika misalnya saya merasa insecure yaitu dengan melihat ke bawah ke orang yang lebih kurang dari kita, tetapi tentu bukan berarti kita harus tetap diam saja, ada kalanya kita juga harus melihat ke atas ke orang - orang yang lebih sukses, karena hal itulah yang akan memotivasi dan membangun semangat kita untuk membuat perubahan yang lebih baik, intinya melihat ke bawah itu perlu  karena cara tersebut akan mengingatkan kita untuk bersyukur, tetapi melihat ke atas juga tentu itu wajib karena segala bentuk perubahan dan perkembangan harus di mulai dengan motivasi.

Honestly how quickly I forget about a loss depends on how invested I was in the outcome, which is probably the case for the majority of people. There's some losses in life I'll think about every now and then in a "life would have been quite different" way but they never dominate my thoughts so I think I'm doing quite alright.

Exactly, I like your opinion, and rationally, how quickly a gambler forgets a loss depends on how much they bet and how seriously they take the outcome. Simply put, if they have high hopes of winning from the start and bet an amount they can't afford to lose, the loss will be a very painful moment and, of course, difficult to forget.
This is why we are always advised to only gamble with small amounts. The reason is clear: it makes it easier for us to forget the next loss and also prevents us from getting emotional when we lose.

There is no special feature in gambling, whatever the type, in the end, winning still depends on how lucky you are when playing, especially in casino games and in sports betting it is almost the same but what makes it different is that your skills and knowledge are indeed quite helpful in increasing your chances of winning, so feeling special or feeling smart in my opinion is a feeling that arises because you are too confident with the results of the bet, and not infrequently in the end this feeling actually makes a gambler even more disappointed when the results are not as expected.

Re: Do you have gambling friends or you prefer to be alone.

I fall into both categories: sometimes I gamble alone, sometimes with friends. Honestly, I'm in a very active gambling environment. I have many gambling friends, and sometimes when I win, I give some of my winnings to them, or vice versa, when they win, they don't hesitate to give me some of their winnings. For me, as long as we're having fun, those actions are fine and don't harm me.
Honestly, I and some of my gambling friends share the same understanding that most games rely on luck, so we gamble abstractly in whatever way we like.

What's usually your pick as a gambler since sometimes some persons are luckier than others?
Well, although I play to entertain myself, I still chose the game that somehow I have a high chance to win. That's why I rarely play slots. I prefer live games like baccarat or blackjack. But it doesn't mean i'm too hopeful to win, it's just that, I like the game wherein my funds can last longer and I won't get busted early.

Everyone is free to make their choice and there is nothing wrong with what you choose because it is a fact that ending the game with a win is much more fun, I also sometimes choose the type of game that has a high chance of winning, honestly I like your approach because you choose one of the games that does not make you find the results quickly, because that way you will feel entertained for longer without making another deposit, oh yes sometimes I also play slots but honestly this is one type of game that drains my money very quickly, in just a matter of minutes I can lose tens of dollars.

Re: Who do you blame?
by

on 04/09/2025, 14:17:56 UTC
Sup, often gambling is blamed for making people part with their money, or casinos are blamed for existing, or government is blamed for allowing gambling in particular country, and along the lines.

Point being, just because there is gambling available, at the end of the day, it's individual's own choice that (s)he decided do it, and no one is to be blamed except oneself if something bad happens.

Do you take responsibility for your losses, or do you play blame game?
In this case we can't blame anyone but ourselves, Before you start, you already know that there will be consequences, right? In situations like this, the primary responsibility lies with oneself, as every decision made is made with full awareness. Many people choose this path out of the desire for easy and instant money, but it's important to remember that every decision carries risks that must be addressed, whether in the form of financial loss or other consequences.

That's why I always say that if a gambler blames others for their losses, they're definitely a loser. It's a sure sign they came to win, not lose, and that means they're not a responsible gambler.
It usually doesn't take long for such gamblers to experience the negative effects of gambling because they approach it so aggressively. Honestly, I've been in that terrible situation, and I often use that experience as an example for others, especially some of my friends, to learn from.

I haven't bet on sports in a long time. I now much prefer casino games like slots, which don't have a win percentage, so we can't gauge how much we'll win if our predictions are correct. Essentially, if you stop when you're winning, that's your win amount.
But I don't really care about the outcome; I prefer the process, whether it's a pleasant or unpleasant experience. It really gets my adrenaline pumping and trains my self-control.

Re: Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?
by
nara1892
on 03/09/2025, 15:47:34 UTC

Well I agree with that, gambling should not be played for too long, meaning there should be a time phase or time gap of at least one week every time you want to gamble, don't do it too often, especially every day, the reason is because when you play too often then you will see a lot of temptations in it and what often tempts me is the big win that almost happened but didn't happen, it can really increase my curiosity and obsession with the game which has the impact that you will play more often and when you are trapped in that situation it will be very difficult for you to stop or control yourself.
I also noticed that if I start to overplay for too long, I start doing some actions that are not typical for me in the game, for example, making extra bets or raising so as not to get bored, and this is no longer about a logical game according to strategy, but more about managing our emotions. I always try to catch the moment in the game when I start to do extra actions, this means that it is necessary to stop and not even let myself make the last bet, because we deceive ourselves and after the last bet there may be another and another, and so the players break down, and I do not want this at all.

What you experienced is very true. I also often experience the same thing. Often, carelessness destroys everything. Therefore, I believe that awareness and firmness regarding previously established boundaries are very important to maintain. Sometimes I also often get caught up in emotions due to careless actions, which ultimately cause me to lose control and lose all the money I had at that time.
From this discussion, we can conclude that playing for long periods of time is indeed very dangerous. Boredom and carelessness can be the beginning of destruction.
