Without you she would definitely going into gambling, so that dont make you a bad father. The question you should be asking yourself right now is how come she got into gambling. Have she at any point see you gambling and then pick interest?

After figuring all of these then you will know your influence towards her. If she is gambling by her own will, its all good but if she is doing it because she watched you do it then you might have influenced her wrongly at that tender age.

With the amount of money that NBA players make, it’s insane that we’re seeing these gambling scandals and insurance fraud situations. These people need to learn how to invest their money because they make plenty, so it is obviously a money management issue. I don’t think there is a dollar amount they wouldn’t spend and go broke.

It is best to quit when you start to see signs that it is becoming an addiction. You can notice if gambling causes anxiety, stress, or discomfort. Generally, you tend to have excessive losses, so I recommend you escape from that situation and focus on other things to change your behavior. Generally, if you stop in time, you will avoid falling into addiction and be able to play again in a controlled manner.

Gambling relieves you from stress and anxiety. Gambling is also a means of entertainment, and that's where most gamblers get it wrong by gambling for profits. The fact is that the consequence of gambling is destructive and can lead to early death. This is why addiction should be avoided by all means. If you are gambling responsible and have self-control on your gambling activities, gambling is fun.

In my country, there are billboards running gambling Ads and in the end they always say "gamble responsible". I am a little bit surprise, you haven't come across this in your own locality. Its almost everywhere.

Drinking is way dangerous than gambling too, so if people running Ads priorities responsible drinking to responsible gambling then we know the reasons why. Because of drinking many lives has been lost.

He's probably lying when he says he plays for fun.
I'd believe someone with a lot of money if they said they played for the thrill of it, but fun isn't true.
Even when we play okey with friends, we get grumpy when we lose. If we're good at it, we whistle.
Even in this game, even though we don't win or lose money, I don't speak up when we lose.
And if there's a chance of winning or losing money involved, it's a different story.
Winning might be fun, exciting, and entertaining, but losing isn't fun.
Never...

One of the first things most newbies in crypto trading think about is how to get access to signals, whether it is following a “guru” on Telegram, or paying for so-called "sure signals." The truth is that due to the market's volatility, there is no such thing as a sure signal.

Signals are simply just the conclusions of someone else's analysis, and just like any other analysis it is not 100% certain. And relying fully on someone else's signals without backing it up with your own research is synonymous with betting your funds on another person's thought process, without even knowing how they arrived there

My final words: Being a trader simply means "being a student of the market."  You must learn to research, analyze, and then to build your own strategies and adjust them when necessary. This doesn’t mean you can’t learn from others, or that one shouldn't make use of signal. Rather the newbies should note this - signals should only be used as a tool to complement your thinking, not replace it.  
Meaning that before hopping onto a particular signal/ signals, you should already have a personal strategy or signal on ground which will then be used to compare with the signal you got to know if you are right on track.

‎Do top leaders or presidents of countries or big corporations and businesses do better economically because they were brought up from a rich family background with wealthy parents or from a poor family background with poor parents?
‎ Or better put, does the financial status of ones family background, that is, does one being born and brought up by rich or poor parents, have a lot to do with how well they do later in life when they attain leadership roles in big corporations and businesses or become the president of a country?

We are used to say that a gambler should gamble with an amount he can afford to lose but in the actual sense do we think there is any amount a gambler can afford to lose? When a gambler places a stake what he sees is not the stake but the potential win. This is why when he does not win he panics regardless of how little the stake is and he will always mention the potential win rather than the stake as the amount lost. The gambling system especially sports betting works in a way that as a game plays the value of the stake keeps increasing and what may appear to be what the gambler can afford to lose may rise and become what he can no longer afford to lose and this becomes a source of concern for the gambler if he losses the bet. In fact, if a gambler accumulates the total of what he thinks he can afford to lose he would know that he is losing what he cannot afford to lose. I think that any penny spent on gambling is a money the gambler have decided to sacrifice with the hope of getting a bigger amount and not because he can afford to lose it.

What's your position on this thought?

There are event you can predict on that even though it's not 💯 guaranteed that you're going to win,  a level of certainty makes you think that you're surely going to win.

The downside of that feeling is that you might become over confident to use a big amount in the game since you're to a large extent certain that you're going to win.

Can we still say we are gambling if the event is something we are at least 90% sure that we are going to win?

As the questions says, when do you stop? your point of no return?

a. at least double your money, then stop
b. you only stop when you have lost all your bankroll money and then blame the casino?
c. or you are a superstitions gambler, when you have signs like losing 3 straight in a row, then you quit because you know that you're having a bad luck
d. you stop when you are at least break even

I didn't include chasing your losses as obviously you might to continue.

Definitely, I will use martingale strategy because I know, in the end I will win!

Addiction happens in whatever games, what we call Addiction is an uncontrollable urge for something, and an addict, does that thing he is addicted to consistently, so it doesn't matter which game, addictions can come from whatever games be it slot, dice, sport betting and the rest.

Addiction is about the state of mind of the addict and not what he addicted to, a gambling addict can play several gambling game2all fuelled by his addictions.

No doubts winning is the main priority of most gamblers this is why they end up being addicted along the line and of course everyone has their different ways of which they tend to gamble but what matters most is that you're being able to manage every risks that comes with it and control your habits.

I don't believe there is a strategy to win and profit in the long term with betting. As has been said in many discussions, everything that involves betting is based on luck. It is not like a business strategy, or even like the strategy of a football team, for example, which in both cases can bring a favorable result. In betting, we only depend on luck, we cannot deceive ourselves in this matter.

It is true that if we control our impulses and manage our bankroll correctly, we can make a profit and even be consistent, but there is no secret to success, it is only luck or bad luck.

I have gambled on four casinos before I came to this forum and I have gambled on more than 5 casinos since when I have been on this forum. Only what I noticed has been that I am losing on all the gambling sites unless I win and I am no more using the casino to gamble. But in as much that I continue to use the casino to gamble, I will later lose. It gets to the point that I knew no casino is manipulating among them because they are just the same thing when it comes to me losing.

How religious the country is will also determine their gambling habits. It doesn't matter how wealthy the people over there are or how vibrant their economy is, if the country has more religious population their gambling activities will be extremely low compared with countries that doesn't care much about religion. So this should also be put into consideration when deciding why some countries gambles more than others.

I have seen exactly this somewhere before that the rich people are less addicted to gambling. I think this is because they are gambling not to make money, unlike someone that is not rich. I have seen people that are not rich going to a betting shop before betting on parley with little amount of money like $1 for odds of over 10 to 1000x. They will keep doing this and they will keep losing. Rich men will not think like this because they will likely not expect luck like people that are not rich. Also rich people have sources of income that is right for them which will let them not think of gambling as one.

No that’s not true. Gambling has many positive sides.

Smoking and drinking alcohol are also harmful but as long as you don’t overdo them, they won’t destroy you.

Same with gambling.

Like the other bad habits I mentioned, as long as you are in control and having fun, gambling is no different than watching a movie at a theater.

It is full of entertainment if you ask me.
