I think their money come too easily on them.

Easy money come. And go

I think if they make their own rm12 per hour job. They'll think twice gamble rm50 a day

Chasing losses.

Yes, best example to use is my wife, who burn 400k quid around 2018-2019 period.

How she kalah? Well, its like this.

Go gamble with 2k, win 3k, then lose 3k out, then balik. But in her heart, she kalah 3k liao. (Already assume the win money is hers, but never consider the fact her capital untouched)

2nd visit, bring 5k go, leave casino 6k in hand. So that's like menang 1k rite? But nope. The first visit kalah 2k not yet return.

3rd visit, bring 5k go again, this time win big, got 10k in hand, but then kalah back into the game, leave casino with 4k. (So that's kalah 6k to casino. Add with the 2k from 1st visit that she assume its her money already, means she total loss 8k to the casino. But she never considered that end of day, her capital no touch at all, still 5k end of day. This snowball continue, until 400k damage keluar pocket)

she still your wife now?

So, should we agree with Political Party to BAN gambling?

yeah. Why not? Now she taubatted, only mahjong weekly in my house with my buddies waifus. (Still gamble, but mahjong la)

Casino don't play luck with gamblers. They just need you to keep coming and eventually, they will be the winner due to probability designed to be their advantage. It's just like betting on 4d. Your chances of wining is 1 over 10000, but first prize payout is only RM3000.

Can ban but won't be able to totally eradicate. Might as well earn that revenue.

Hi mushigen, good to see you again bro. I agree with your statement.

In life, choices are given. Alcohol, tobacco, gambling - these are all "legalized" vices. And in some areas, prostitution and in others, vaping.

Ultimately, puritanical prohibitions will only drive the above industries underground and make it unlegislated, unlicensed and unregulated, which means no safety checks, no health controls, no accountability. And will that stop the patrons from seeking such activities, no - but the government will lose a source of revenue that can be channeled back into lessening the harm such activities bring about to society and self. Example, the revenue from the tobacco tax will fund hospitals to take care of the lung diseases and lung cancers associated with smoking, and the tax from gambling can be used to fund social services and programs to support broken families due to an addict of a father (or mother).

Such is life. Imperfect.

I always gamble and i always win, how to stop? Gamble until i live my life like a retired person while i not even 30 yet and never work for people before.

tat winning feeling feels good, tats why hard to stop
cut out the source, money roll in solid stocks instead

Look for a new hobby.

At least your wifu stopped at one point, learnt the lesson well.

Some just dust out, never learn till nothing more to lose (till menyusahkan, affecting own family well beings).

Not only they chase loses, hard core gamblers always tell themselves this > today is my day, ini kali lah, i shall recoup everything.

Depends on which "casino"

For me, I can say I win on average. Of course for sports, it's not entirely on luck.

Why Do I Gamble Until I Lose?

Like many pleasurable activities such as sex and euphoria-inducing substance use – eating can trigger the release of dopamine. Dopamine is “feel good” neurotransmitter in your brain. Gambling can also raise dopamine levels which can cause you to keep gambling even when you know that you should cease and collect your winnings. Moreover, research finds that losing can trigger a release of dopamine to almost the same extent as winning, which is why you may stay in the casino after dropping a few hands. Your body also produces adrenalin and pleasurable endorphins throughout the win/lose gambling cycle.

Now here’s the real kicker. Your brain and body become accustomed to this psychological and physiological response. Consequently, habitual behavior is formed and the concept of winning is no longer the primary motivating factor. It’s a lose/lose scenario no matter how you look at it.

My circle of gambling frienda including me has this concept..If don't gamble. Sure die. If gamble..there's a chance of recovery.

Yeah in Malaysia.
It does work in UK though




You are right.
Thanks to those normies who think every gamblers loses money

Unfortunately because of normies, I cannot maximise my profits. There are things called exchange whereby the spread is pretty narrow and I would probably make a higher profit compared to those online website I played in.

Nah just stupidity.
No excuse if you win 5000 just to lose 10k later especially if you keep track of your winnings.

Notice that those stupid ppl even if they.take back their winnings, they will spend it all somewhere else anyway. That's why stuff in casino are so expensive because they know those stupid ppl will overspend on those over expensive things anyway if they win money. You see, for those stupid ppl, they never actually win even if they take their winnings.

Now a person who knows the value of money. In the same scenario. Would walk away after probably losing half of the max winnings won. And still they will minimise their spending in the casino on other things.

Why would you continue after securing your wins and knowing that you are in a losing streak. In fact the strategy is to start betting smaller amounts once you have already won a big amount and you start losing. I dunno what is so exciting losing your money away unless you really are a low life and a sucker.

Good to know that there are some constructive advise at here.
I am once a gambler too, but in stock market.
Loss a year of salary in it, finally realized something's wrong with me, and I stopped it.

Gambling addiction is real.
You won something but loss much more.

FK I should have bought good car/house by now If I haven't gamble.

its hard to control, those ppl who say they can control all bullshit one

cos the moment u win some money in the casino, then the next day u will come bck with more capital to win more, and end up losing more, human is greedy, we will always want to win more and what ever we win will always be not enough

thats why casino is not afraid to let u win some money, u win 10k? sap sap sui la, today let u win 10k, in future win back at least 100k from u or ur entire fortune
