Thank you for your contribution here on our forum. I hope many users will read your post and be aware.

Addiction happens extremely quickly. You start just like that, trying. You lose some amount, you feel pretty bad. You want out of it. Sometimes it will happen, you will get your money back and get out of the depression. More often than not, it will get even worse. Accordingly, over time you begin to chase losses for a day, a week, a month, a year, you want to banish those dark thoughts, the guilty conscience. And you sink deeper and deeper...

You develop the self-awareness of a loser. Because it's a losing game. You are a loser. Becoming spiteful, complex, you behave badly with your loved ones. You go lower and lower. As in extreme cases it can land you in the grave or in the madhouse. Although the statistics are unlikely to account for it. Nobody really cares what happens to you. I know a hell of a lot of cases. Of failed lives, people gone mad, even suicides. Jail...

I'll tell you how I got out of it. Although there will probably be hate. But yes, this is a possible "happy ending" outcome. I started doing it professionally and at this stage I have profits of around 250,000 euros. But for many years, the profit per month is not impressive at all. But in reality, I won this money from gambling. I am not a "loser", I have nothing to "chase", to "chase losses". That this is one way to "hack life". If nothing else helps. There are many ways to win from gambling. As it is not mandatory in some areas to have special skills, knowledge. For example, you can play for promotions, roll over bonuses, or buy bets from proven tipsters. Also match betting, hedge betting, also arbitrage bets. As some of the bets are risk-free. But this is "gambling" and that's how you can manipulate your psyche. To get out of the swamp..To account for the winnings, like those from gambling, and thus recover your losses. And possibly put an end to this dark adventure.

Unfortunately, 99.9% of people who find information on "pro gambling" sites end up getting addicted to "pure gambling". This "99.9%" is not exaggerated, see for example UK and match betting. We are talking about millions of people over the years (200,000 "new" every year) who win money with risk-free bets, but in the end they return it to the bookmakers or casinos and lose several times more. The owners of the bookmakers are not against this practice, that their bonuses are used for risk-free bets. Because they know where this leads...

If someone decides to "hack his psyche" in this way, let him not forget how he felt before, what kind of hell he lived in at times. If he forgets, he'll be back there again...

It's quite a strange way to get out of it, and I would say you are one of the millions who got away with it. I don't think if you become a professional "gambler" that's the way out even if you win. I think you're still just as addicted and I can't see how anyone could make money from gambling long term. It's more of a utopia to me than the truth. Of course there may be people who are lucky and win a jackpot, but to play long term and make an income from it is, in my opinion, less than impossible. But that's my view on it and if a guy is addcited, I would never send him to play again or to become a pro in this field. 

Either you are trolling or you are completely ignorant. There are tens of thousands of professional players, poker players, bettors, bonus hunters, card counters, etc. And there are others. What are you talking about, you know nothing at all. Or you want it to look that way on purpose. There are organizations, syndicates, "cartels", the entire gambling ecosystem is influenced by the pro players. That's what the online world is like, not because of the recreational bettors, but because of the pro players, they are a much bigger factor.

And what are you saying now that I'm lying? What should I lie about? Say? Give me a good reason to lie about it. This 250,000 euros that I have earned and despite the fact that I live in the poorest country in Europe, I am ashamed to mention it to my colleagues. Because it's funny, because it's a little…

I think you are not familiar at all. With this world... It's even funny to you, you're being ironic, apparently it really is. You have no idea how different it is. Actually, I was too. In the beginning, I was collecting bonuses and just by the way trying to clear the money with poker. However, I saw that it is also profitable that way. I didn't believe otherwise. I thought it was some nonsense, a scam, some crazy people..The people who animate this are using software. It's not like they're talking to the stars or anything. Like gamblers...

They have trackers .Do you know what is this? This means if you sit on my table, i have unfair advantage over you. And this is allowed. Do you know why? Such a hard question...The pro gamblers are part of all this. In the betting they actually are on the top, bookmakers are bellow them.

I don't know, I don't think I'm ignorant or that I don't believe you. I was just stating my opinion of what I think about people getting rich from gambling and being able to profit from it. I didn't mean to attack you or anything like that. I'm just thinking about how many gamblers have come on here saying they are addicted and how it has ruined their lives, and now imagine telling someone like that that the way out of it is to become a professional gambler. I guess sometimes one can't imagine the impact it can have on individuals. I'm not denying that some people make money from it, but I'm saying that I don't think that's a lot of people in this world. If that were the case, everyone would be gambling and doing nothing else. 

So that's my opinion, there's no need to attack or anything like that. 

I am not saying that, mate. It's not a good "job". I already said that, didn't I? I think , I did..Anyway, I am talking for EV. "Expected value"..They still can gamble, but +EV, they do that -EV. At this point...They can turn their "hobi" into something profitable. In a long run..And all this time and money will not be wasted. Complete wasted. What wrong in that? I mean I just want to help them. Not to cheat or something. I didn't ask for money, didn't I? How then I can be a "cheater"? If I don't ask for money.

Is this against the rules? I am asking directly..I don't think so. As long as this site have activity, you will take your profit, no other way. Ok, some of them will not follow your links. Right now..Some guy see that, after a year, let's say . He sees my posts, he don't want to gamble in a casino anymore. Because of me. It will happen. Very unlikely, but possible. Still because of the activity that I am creating, you will have more people, who will follow the links. I did not say the names of the rooms or something. Didn't post a links or whatever. I didn't broke the rules of the forum.

You can just "expand" your "catalog", there are casinos in Asia, they have an affiliate programs. No limits, no bans, no withdraw delay. All this problems, that you have with some casinos. Still cheating is possible, but from the game provider, not from the casino. We are talking for very rich people. With different mindset. And "Asia", it's not a "place", it's a "way". A way of doing the things, I don't know the word. For example there is an "Asian" house in Netherlands. It's not run by a Chinese or Japanese people, it's just a "model".

For example at this moment I am talking with some guy, who want to bet at higher stakes, he want to make big withdraws and deposits. If he have some interest to try that, he will follow the link from your site, he still will play in the casino, also they have referral link for the booky. It's a very small profit for you, but the bets will be large. Small as percentage...Not small as "profit".

I believe that you ought to try to take into account what Jaro has said. I believe that this has created a significant communication barrier because you most likely did not understand what Jaro intended to say, and I, on the other hand, find it difficult to understand the context of what you have said.

However, that is alright. Maybe others will comprehend much more clearly. To put it simply, gambling always results in loss. This is not a safe route to "becoming wealthy." Moreover, highrolling can cost you a lot of money, and the winnings are never granted.

Casinos always win

Actually, what we are saying is that, especially when looking at things long term, playing at casinos should just be a fun way to lose some cash.

We sincerely hope you will not use our links to encourage random players to play at casinos. Have you ever observed a Casino Guru employee doing this? No, since we prefer to alert players about possible risks.

Please, take that into the consideration.

Ok, OK..Are you a Bulgarian? Yes, you are. And yes, if you make -EV bets, you lose, but still you can win, if you have a lot of luck or if you hit the jackpot. I didn't say something different. I am not breaking the rules, I am not lying and I said "the gambling is bad" , "don't do that"..So we have a situation here. A different "animal" which you still are not familiar with. This doesn't mean this animal is bad. Can be friendly, very possible.

I see we have different views on this, but that's okay. It's fine, that's what the conversation is about. As long as it doesn't go into encouraging players to gamble or do something we don't think is right, it's alright. Each person can decide whether they'd rather play with a smaller amount to have fun or whether they want to profit from it. But there is a fine line where it can become an addiction, I think, because if we have it in our subconscious that we can make a profit out of something that is a hobby, then I think we try harder and are willing to spend maybe even more than we would like to. And as it was said wins are not always granted.

So that's it from my side.
