Hi everyone. I just want to share my experience. I went to the casino yesterday and unfortunately, I lost a lot of money. I am so disappointed and learned to accept that I cannot undo it anymore. Does anyone of you also visit the casino and play there regularly or occasionally?

When I visit the casino I'm always careful not to spend a lot of money. I've known people who've lost everything they own because of gambling, so I treat it as entertainment and only spend what I would on a few hours' entertainment. And I would never visit an online casino. That's far too dangerous.

That is right. It is not bad to go to the casino sometimes but we should have control on ourselves. However, most people get lured to it that they do not realize they have already lost everything because of it. By the way, thanks for your ideas.

Online casinos are fun places as long as you remain sensible and don't gamble what you can't afford to lose. Sites like PlayOJO offer some money back for every losing bet, that's pretty fair!

@ryanwardyhere The problem with gambling is that it's addictive. People may start out being sensible, but once the bug bites it can be difficult to stop.

I have been to resorts with casinos attached. I have never gambled there even once. I have seen many gamblers losing in the casino. Seeing them changing cash into chips, seeing their chips depleting with every bets they placed, I was trembling inside myself. How could people just throw those money away in seconds that is about a month's pay for the majority of the local people there? I hope those gamblers are rich men with deep pockets.

It is easy to be influenced by the hectic gambling activities inside a casino. You may tell yourself that you are just placing one bet to try your luck. The problem is that when your bet is the winning one, you may want to stretch your luck to make a second win. And it goes on and on - if you are UNLUCKY enough to keep on winning until you lose it all eventually. Gambling is addictive. It is in the human DNA. Don't ever get it activated.

Yes, I agree. A lot of them are rich men but many of them are just ordinary people/employees who are trying their luck. Others are just having fun.
