Winning takes a lot of consistency most especially when you are faced with early losses that drained your balance, but overall I see that you did won at last which is the most important to celebrate, hope you learned one or two lessons from the outcome this time since you mentioned that you were more careful and consistent this time around compared to other times, strategy combined with luck make your winnings feel more good and confidence is built along the line.

Game night again for the NBA, don't forget to cast your bets and it's with another prop bet of Spurs against the Knicks. And the good odd that I've chosen is with Champaignie again with 1.77 odd for having over 9.5 points. So just 10 points for him again tonight and this bet will win.

I’m not sure what mechanisms a casino implements to flag problem gamblers, but if Bitz actually steps in to help, that’s highly commendable. It must be a tough tightrope to walk when your revenue model depends on user gameplay. I have immense respect for Bitz, and it’s easily one of the finest casinos I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing at

Personal control, yes that is something that gamblers must have. Without that, they can too deep in gambling but they don't see that is wrong decision. If they aware, they would not playing gambling excessive or chase the win.

Self-exclusion is the thing they should use to limits themselves so they do not gambling too often. With personal control, they will consider that gambling is just for fun and avoiding gets deeper in gambling. The casino just accommodating the place while the responsibility will be on gamblers.

People struggle to be responsible knowing there are lots of temptation offered by casino. Usually those tempting promotions and bonuses given is the one big factor on why people choose to continue.

If they realized that those offers is tool to make them stay and spend more, maybe next time they realized that its better to be careful taking decisions on what they are participating or availing. But if they can handle everything well and could able to use minimal amount just to have fun then maybe with that they really could play without possibilities of facing any serious issues.

You need to first ask; how many gamblers really do set gambling budget? You will be amazed at the statistics if such a survey is actually carried out.

Not many gamblers budget and not many plan. But many just gamble as long as there's money in their possession. Such directionless and purposeless gambling ruins family, individuals, relationships and more.

It is time we raise campaign for responsible gambling. Even the casino owners also advocate for responsible gambling, although I don't know if it's a genuine advocacy because deep down, they want you to burn your last penny in their platform.

Wow, I didn’t know I had such reputation  . I guess if I push my luck, I might be able to get a spot above @Itz-prisigold, but I don’t want to knock her out of their spot, and I also think I’d waste too many SATS trying to earn that spot. The 5th or 6th spots are fine for me because reaching those is easier, and the effort you put in for higher spots usually isn’t worth the reward. That’s my main thought. I’ve wagered a bit more SATS to keep my spot:

You cannot use drink to compare gambling when it comes to self exclusion because you are gambling directly in the casino and you have the right to tell them to self exclude you from using their gambling site for your own personal reasons and if they fail to do that and allow the gambler to continue gambling, they have done the wrong thing because it shows that the button is useless to them so why add the feature.

For drink companies, a drunk cannot walk directly to the company and buy just a bottle of drink, they wouldn't sell because they sell in wholesale. It's the retailers that can stop selling to a drunk because she has been told so, or due to sympathy on him whenever, he gets drunk. I have seen a retailer who don't sell drink to a man that always get drunk and fall inside the gutter where he will finally pass his night if no one comes to his rescue.

You see they are two different things. However, I feel self exclusion should be a manual and personal thing.

Do you think gambling act too much skill? I can't say this for sure because gambling is more about luck than skill or experience. However, not all gamblers will be able to stay disciplined, as gambling involves losing more than winning. However, skill can be of some help when it comes to sports betting. Regardless of the situation, every gambler should not overstep their limits. But even if I plan properly, it sometimes fails. so not too confident in sports.
