What's your opinion on gambling?

It can be fun if you do it in moderation. I used to go into a casino with a set amount of money to spend and when it was gone I was as well.

I only hit big one time (not all that lucky when it comes to gambling) and at least I have that one time to say I did great there once. Now I no longer go to casinos at all.

It is simply not viable for me under the current administration running the U.S. right now. Money is tight and you have to spend it wisely.

That's not gambling; that's a gambling-themed resort.

Casinos rig the games, and only play games where player skill is negligible.

Might as well draw the comparison between moba/gatcha and casinos, except casinos have less rng and more failstates.

I would say that any addiction is a terrible thing, especially when it affects either mental or physical health.

Tails. That means I hate gambling and I would never do it in my life

I usually play roulette playing 1:2 or 1:1 odds. I've gained more than I've lost though I can't be sure I will win.

Can't stand card games.

Heard theres a technique for blackjack. I think they kicked Elon Musk out of a casino for 'counting the cards'.

There was some article about how roulette can be defeated but it seems like you need a large team and a lot of comms hardware, computers....

It's stupid.

if i want to give away things,i give them.i dont gamble them to make it look less like i am giving it away.

I won at craps 50 times in a row, so I don't outside of video games. In which case, I prefer blackjack. If other people want to gamble then by all means let them do so. If you get addicted though, then seek help for your sickness and then remember to never gamble again.

Also, don't gamble with money you don't have nor with more than you're willing to lose. That's common sense.

I don't necessarily mean gambling as an addiction. Unless you consider it all a form of addiction.

I think gambling can be fun if done responsibly. I enjoy it occasionally, but it's important to set limits and not get carried away. It's all about having a good time without risking more than you can afford to lose.

One of the key things is to play in safe and reputable casinos. I usually play on Spinanga Casino[www.spinanga-gr.eu], which I find reliable and secure. They offer a variety of games, and I’ve had a good experience with their customer service.

Gambling as long as not an addiction is fine. I gamble every so often for other people making 500 into more. But i only play 3 to 1 blackjack. One of my friends it has destroyed though she has such an addiction she had to be banned from everywhere and every website, shes just started on hinky crypto gambling.

Do NOT go in with a mind to think to win, . . .
go in with a thought to spend (lose) money, your set limit . . .

So always set yourself a limit how much money you would like to spend (lose), . . .
and by exceeding this limit, go home . . .

Either you have won, a short fraction back or big, or you lost . . .

For example your mind needs to be like this ::
I have 500 EUR saved, this is my limit, and I want to "spend" this "this month".
Winning or losing is not important, however, winning would be preferable.

So you spent 500 EUR and won 400 EUR? You lost 100 EUR . . .

That is all you need to know . . .

The absolute opposite and highly heavily devastating wrong thought is ::

I have 100 EUR and I want to make money . . .

No! You have 100 EUR to spend (lose), and either you win, or you lose

If you keep this in mind, all good . . .

Other people spend 100 EUR per month for cigarettes only. This is ridiculous . . . !!

And addtionally, your odds highly depend on which game you play. Poker, which Poker, BlackJack, Roulette, . . . each game also has their own strategies and tactics, rules and especially "skills" . . .

ALWAYS set yourself a limit, go home by exceeding this limit !!
ALWAYS think to "spend" your limit, rather than to "make" money, either you lose or win !!

This is also the exact thought about playing the lottery. You "spend/invest" money, and either you win, or you lose, or gain a fraction back . . .

It's a relative thing.

If you have the money it isn't a big deal.

I don't spend much. Stopped for years and they put a machine in the food store so now I get a mega autopick for $2 once a week.

My neighbor was doing some clean out last week and saw a lottery ticket. He said he doesn't spend much just $15................a day.

I just had to wonder at what point he would consider it a problem?

I have met people who could see the future and would get lottery numbers. He wouldn't gamble himself, gambling places keep lists of people who win too much.

He worked in a warehouse and his lifestyle was a bit above the others there. Other workers would tell me people would just hand him money. None of my business.

One day he comes up to me and tells me to play a number I normally played and tells me to play it that day.

I should have bet more but was cautious. I won. I asked him about it and he just said he has a dream/vision of a face with a number. Having others pay him on the side was his way of keeping the whole thing on the down low. A dangerous skill to have if people find out.

It's entertainment and should be treated as such. Don't go in with the mindset that you'll win big (because you won't), and give yourself a budget you won't overrun. That way you can have fun gambling without accidentally dropping 17k in the heat of the moment

[Schamyl006]

Wrong. Because one side wins and one side loses. It is not worth risking your money.
