No way to stop one just like drug addiction. As long as you can access to money and there is a supply of gambling/drugs, you would purchase it. Unless the fingers are chopped.

Why genting so fucking rich? Because house always win.

to me i hate gambling because it shows how uncaring people are.

i view gambling addiction similarly to intelligence.  different people have different intelligence. some are born smart and are geniuses. some... simply arent that smart. i have a friend who cant do maths. i know people who have the mental age of a child.

the problem with casinos is people get away with exploiting "weaker minded" people. "normal" people tend to be the most heartless saying that the gambling addicts are idiots  and deserve what they get (crippling debt). people reason that, "i can stop gambling, why cant they".

different mental capacity bro. grow a bigger heart.

we need more regulations.

freedom is good but sometimes too much freedom leads to ruin.

Mathematically, there is no need to do so.

i just play texas poker hold em for free but still losing
but is a good reminder of not involving with real money in gambling

House can decide whether to take the bet or not.
But there is no need to manipulate the result.
Only superstitious gambler think so.

Even the house lose on a single large large bet, they will get it back by treating the winner w alot of perks.  As long as he keep coming back, there is no escape.
Some superstitious gambler may think the house rear ghost to manipulate the result... Bla

Share you a story, my secondary schoolmate who love gamble and let's call him "Mr.O". Even in school, this guy would gamble like almost anything. Imagine this, in hari sukan, he managed to gather some students for a bet. Say 100m sprint race, which house from which grade will win etc. Even in chess tournament, he still do the same shit. Now he ended up in overseas, I don't know where but here's why he ran away.

Is he rich? No he just like us, from mid level family, not rich not poor.

After graduated from secondary school, like most of us here we lost contact with some of our schoolmate. and some still be friend with us until the end I think, well you get the point.

On year 2018, I met one of my schoolmate on sepang circuit. He's running a car painting business with his uncle, so we catching up a bit. Then he mentioned Mr. O, then I remember this guy love gamble and I jokingly ask "What he ran a casino in Genting now?". Surprisingly. after graduate he kind of jobless, ended up guarding those illegal slot or mesin kuda as we know. That one gamble he made, a soccer game(I don't know which matches or team). My friend said Mr. O lost huge sum of money, sold almost everything including his car and kapcai bike to cover the lost. His parent found out, force him to move out and work with his aunt in her restaurant(Been there few times when we were in secondary school). That gambling habit still there, same shit but this time he cannot cover the lost. People start coming to find him in his aunt restaurant, even his parent's house. The family cannot tahan, disown him and cast him out. My friend said he heard Mr. O ran to Thailand, Singapore or Australia or maybe still in Malaysia, no one know.

From that story, bet big or small, if you cannot cover the lost, don't do it. My advice is try looking for other hobby, spend your money wisely or on your hobby. Get a gunpla, drone, maybe modify cars, gaming computer or anything but gambling.

In order to win over the house in long term, you need to cheat.  No amount of strategy or analytic can win over.  The law of probability holds.

There is no strategy that can guarantee you winning 100% of the time over the long run. Otherwise casino won't be so rich. Even card counting strategy can be destroyed by the casino by simply shuffling the cards.

Everyone losses 100% in the long run at casinos
Its the law of probability

The probablity is set by the house game, its fixed to house advantage.  You may have winning streak for a while, but over long run, the odds is against u. The only way to sway the odds to your advantage is by cheating the house (card counting, deep memorising etc) which you will eventually get caught and ban from the casino.

Speaking from a more than 10 years of gambling experience.

He is likely a compulsive gambler. Win little , little those type and if not gamble, the hand will itchy that type. If continue further in 20-30 years probably will lose everything.

You seems to exhibit some Schizophrenia symptom and compulsive disorder
Get help before its too late.
All forms of gambling is the same. House only want to win.

BTW.
You are a very pitiful person.
Most people who encounter you in Lowyat probably agree with me.

gambling can NEVER be main source of income
because the odds are always against you. Even if you play poker (lets assume if the player pool skill level gets tougher), the casino rakes will always increase

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.

not easy become " sports traders " using any Europe/US/AU base sportsbook easily get banned.

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.
