Why do people gamble? (page 5)

But also, I must admit that there are people who have a healthy attitude towards this kind of entertainment. But there are few of them, so it is better to be careful, and if you are not sure that it is easy for you to stop your excitement, then it is better not to start.

yes, but it's happening

At first I was curious, but when I tried to play it, I started to get excited and hooked.

Are you planning to stop?

Thanks for your reply. I'm able to control it (with the help of a lot of people) and haven't played for quite some time. I have since then directed my energy into a "passion project". At first, I thought this was a bad idea because it's like I am going near the flame of temptation that is called gambling. I've decided to lie low from playing, but writing and talking about my experience and what I have learned throughout the years of being a casino player, it became therapeutic.

I understand that you don't play, but at least talk about your experience and, for example, read the forum. Not bad:)

If I may add a kind request. If you like sharing or writing about your experience, just do so.

Pick up the casino you've played in from the casino list and describe what it was like to play there 🙂.

We aim to provide not just honest casino reviews, but also a sharing opened players' community.

I'd say, there's no better way to achieve such a goal than listening to the well-experienced ones.

Because people have hope to get everything now, in one second. Plus good advertising, plus friends who won. And so you go to the casino with hope. Moreover, now "access" to the casino is elementary, for example: the information is here, you can understand that more and more applications are being made and all technologies, both old and new, are used.

Hi links of this type are not allowed on the forum, so please don't post them. 

However, I think it's a common mistake if people get caught and everyone thinks they're just going to win, but it tends to be the other way around. Of course, I think it's true that nowadays you can get advertising all over the place, so sometimes players can't seem to resist.

But it is important to remember that playing in the casino from time to time should be seen as relaxation and not trying to make money out of it, because in the end the player will lose his deposits sooner or later. 

People gamble for easy and quick money lol. Also asking why people gamble is like asking why people live, because life in itself is a gamble. You try so many things and some go well while some don't. People also gamble for fun.

Yup lol! Better to get yourself an extra job rather than gamble for extra money. 🙂

I don't agree, "Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get"🙂

not gamble

But seriously, our life is full of risk, the only question is whether it is justified. And if in life you can rely on your skills, then in gambling you only rely on luck. And this luck is focused on casino winnings, and there is a SMALL percentage on your winnings... So it's better not to take this type of entertainment seriously.

Hm, that's quite true and I share the view that the casino and winning in it is about luck, whereas life itself isn't all about luck. For me it's best not to play and spend the money on something more meaningful, or if someone wants to play, to play wisely.

Anyway, I've heard this quote you used somewhere before. Wasn't it from the movie Forest Gump? 🤔

Yeah, correct 🙂 This is from Forrest Gump. A very good movie.

Mama was lying, love mama anyways but yeah mama was saying life is full of chocolates lol. A chocolate is a sweet candy. Life is full of black and white, ups and down, left and right, wins and losses and that's very similar to what you get in gambling.

Agree, but at a distance in gambling you will lose, just mathematically. But the analogy with candies is that life is unpredictable, but all the same, candies give us the opportunity to understand that everything is still fine 🙂

But I also understood your analogy. Gambling gives emotions. It's just that very often he leads us into destructiveness.

Yes, I agree, because I've seen it several times and I never get tired of it. So thank you for your contribution because it made my day. 🙂

You have quite a realistic view of life, which I think is nice sometimes and you should definitely have it, but sometimes it seems to me that people almost don't enjoy it afterwards. That's not necessarily true and it's just my opinion. But as for gambling and what you wrote, that makes sense too, except that you can't really control the results when you play. 🤔😊

except you can't really control the results when you play. 🤔😊

Incorrect. One can fully control the flow of the game and the result of the game. You only need to set the rules before starting the game.

I have been playing roulette for 30 years. And so far I haven't had a single problem. Of course, there were losses and nervousness.

But a person gets annoyed a million times in life because of other things.

And all of life is really a gamble.

No, you definitely can't control the result of the game.

You can only control yourself, which can potentially decrease the advantage that the casino has over every player. You may claim that you have some sort of strategy, I know you mentioned it here long time ago, but let me ask you this:

You start playing with your strategy, you lose, you win, then there's a moment when you start winning a bit more, you get some profit and you stop right there, since you're smart and don't want to lose your winnings. I get it. Then what are you going to do in a moment when you start losing quite a lot from the very beginning and you simply won't reach the point when you have a bit of profit (or you're break even) so you can't simply stop and take the profit? What do you do?
