Ο εθισμός συμβαίνει εξαιρετικά γρήγορα. Ξεκινάς έτσι ακριβώς, προσπαθώντας. Χάνεις ένα ποσό, νιώθεις πολύ άσχημα. Θέλεις να βγεις από αυτό. Μερικές φορές θα συμβεί, θα πάρετε τα χρήματά σας πίσω και θα βγείτε από την κατάθλιψη. Τις περισσότερες φορές, θα γίνει ακόμα χειρότερο. Αντίστοιχα, με τον καιρό αρχίζεις να κυνηγάς απώλειες για μια μέρα, μια εβδομάδα, έναν μήνα, έναν χρόνο, θέλεις να διώξεις αυτές τις σκοτεινές σκέψεις, την ένοχη συνείδηση. Και βυθίζεσαι όλο και πιο βαθιά...

Αναπτύσσετε την αυτογνωσία ενός ηττημένου. Γιατί είναι ένα χαμένο παιχνίδι. Είσαι χαμένος. Γίνοντας μοχθηρός, κομπλεξικός, συμπεριφέρεσαι άσχημα με τους αγαπημένους σου. Πηγαίνεις όλο και πιο κάτω. Όπως σε ακραίες περιπτώσεις μπορεί να σε προσγειώσει στον τάφο ή στο τρελοκομείο. Αν και τα στατιστικά είναι απίθανο να το εξηγήσουν. Κανείς δεν ενδιαφέρεται πραγματικά για το τι σου συμβαίνει. Ξέρω πάρα πολλές περιπτώσεις. Από αποτυχημένες ζωές, άνθρωποι τρελαίνονταν, ακόμα και αυτοκτονίες. Φυλακή...

Θα σας πω πώς τα κατάφερα. Αν και μάλλον θα υπάρχει μίσος. Αλλά ναι, αυτό είναι ένα πιθανό αποτέλεσμα "ευτυχισμένο τέλος". Ξεκίνησα να το κάνω επαγγελματικά και σε αυτή τη φάση έχω κέρδη γύρω στις 250.000 ευρώ. Όμως εδώ και πολλά χρόνια το κέρδος ανά μήνα δεν είναι καθόλου εντυπωσιακό. Αλλά στην πραγματικότητα, κέρδισα αυτά τα χρήματα από τον τζόγο. Δεν είμαι «χαμένος», δεν έχω τίποτα να «κυνηγήσω», να «κυνηγήσω απώλειες». Ότι αυτός είναι ένας τρόπος να «χάκαρεις τη ζωή». Αν δεν βοηθάει τίποτα άλλο. Υπάρχουν πολλοί τρόποι να κερδίσεις από τον τζόγο. Καθώς δεν είναι υποχρεωτικό σε ορισμένους τομείς να έχεις ειδικές δεξιότητες, γνώσεις. Για παράδειγμα, μπορείτε να παίξετε για προσφορές, να κάνετε roll over μπόνους ή να αγοράσετε στοιχήματα από αποδεδειγμένους tipsters. Επίσης στοιχήματα αγώνα, στοιχήματα αντιστάθμισης, επίσης στοιχήματα arbitrage. Καθώς ορισμένα από τα στοιχήματα είναι ακίνδυνα. Αυτό όμως είναι «τζόγος» και έτσι μπορείς να χειραγωγήσεις τον ψυχισμό σου. Για να βγείτε από το βάλτο.. Να λογοδοτήσετε τα κέρδη, όπως αυτά από τον τζόγο, και έτσι να ανακτήσετε τις απώλειές σας. Και ενδεχομένως να βάλουμε ένα τέλος σε αυτή τη σκοτεινή περιπέτεια.

Δυστυχώς, το 99,9% των ανθρώπων που βρίσκουν πληροφορίες σε ιστότοπους "pro gambling" καταλήγουν να εθίζονται στον "καθαρό τζόγο". Αυτό το "99,9%" δεν είναι υπερβολικό, δείτε για παράδειγμα στοιχήματα ΗΒ και αγώνα. Μιλάμε για εκατομμύρια ανθρώπους όλα αυτά τα χρόνια (200.000 «νέοι» κάθε χρόνο) που κερδίζουν χρήματα με στοιχήματα χωρίς ρίσκο, αλλά στο τέλος τα επιστρέφουν στα στοιχήματα ή στα καζίνο και χάνουν πολλαπλάσια. Οι ιδιοκτήτες των bookmakers δεν είναι αντίθετοι με αυτήν την πρακτική, ότι τα μπόνους τους χρησιμοποιούνται για στοιχήματα χωρίς κίνδυνο. Γιατί ξέρουν πού οδηγεί αυτό...

Αν κάποιος αποφασίσει να «χακάρει τον ψυχισμό του» με αυτόν τον τρόπο, ας μην ξεχάσει πώς ένιωθε πριν, σε τι είδους κόλαση ζούσε κατά καιρούς. Αν το ξεχάσει, θα είναι ξανά εκεί...

It's quite a strange way to get out of it, and I would say you are one of the millions who got away with it. I don't think if you become a professional "gambler" that's the way out even if you win. I think you're still just as addicted and I can't see how anyone could make money from gambling long term. It's more of a utopia to me than the truth. Of course there may be people who are lucky and win a jackpot, but to play long term and make an income from it is, in my opinion, less than impossible. But that's my view on it and if a guy is addcited, I would never send him to play again or to become a pro in this field. 

Ή τρολάρεις ή είσαι παντελώς αδαής. Υπάρχουν δεκάδες χιλιάδες επαγγελματίες παίκτες, παίκτες πόκερ, παίκτες στοιχημάτων, κυνηγοί μπόνους, μετρητές καρτών κ.λπ. Και υπάρχουν και άλλοι. Τι λες, δεν ξέρεις τίποτα. Ή θέλετε να φαίνεται έτσι επίτηδες. Υπάρχουν οργανώσεις, συνδικάτα, «καρτέλ», ολόκληρο το οικοσύστημα του τζόγου επηρεάζεται από τους επαγγελματίες παίκτες. Αυτός είναι ο διαδικτυακός κόσμος, όχι λόγω των ψυχαγωγικών παικτών, αλλά λόγω των επαγγελματιών παικτών, είναι πολύ μεγαλύτερος παράγοντας.

Και τι λες τώρα που λέω ψέματα; Τι να πω ψέματα; Λέγω; Δώσε μου έναν καλό λόγο να πω ψέματα για αυτό. Αυτά τα 250.000 ευρώ που έχω κερδίσει και παρά το γεγονός ότι ζω στη φτωχότερη χώρα της Ευρώπης, ντρέπομαι να τα αναφέρω στους συναδέλφους μου. Γιατί είναι αστείο, γιατί είναι λίγο…

Νομίζω ότι δεν είσαι καθόλου εξοικειωμένος. Με αυτόν τον κόσμο... Σου είναι ακόμα και αστείο, είσαι ειρωνικός, προφανώς είναι όντως. Δεν έχεις ιδέα πόσο διαφορετικό είναι. Για την ακρίβεια, ήμουν κι εγώ. Στην αρχή, μάζευα μπόνους και παρεμπιπτόντως προσπαθούσα να καθαρίσω τα χρήματα με το πόκερ. Είδα πάντως ότι είναι και κερδοφόρο έτσι. Δεν πίστευα το αντίθετο. Νόμιζα ότι ήταν κάποια ανοησία, μια απάτη, κάποιοι τρελοί.. Οι άνθρωποι που το ζωντανεύουν χρησιμοποιούν λογισμικό. Δεν είναι ότι μιλάνε στα αστέρια ή κάτι άλλο. Σαν τζογαδόροι...

They have trackers .Do you know what is this? This means if you sit on my table, i have unfair advantage over you. And this is allowed. Do you know why? Such a hard question...The pro gamblers are part of all this. In the betting they actually are on the top, bookmakers are bellow them.

I don't know, I don't think I'm ignorant or that I don't believe you. I was just stating my opinion of what I think about people getting rich from gambling and being able to profit from it. I didn't mean to attack you or anything like that. I'm just thinking about how many gamblers have come on here saying they are addicted and how it has ruined their lives, and now imagine telling someone like that that the way out of it is to become a professional gambler. I guess sometimes one can't imagine the impact it can have on individuals. I'm not denying that some people make money from it, but I'm saying that I don't think that's a lot of people in this world. If that were the case, everyone would be gambling and doing nothing else. 

So that's my opinion, there's no need to attack or anything like that. 

I am not saying that, mate. It's not a good "job". I already said that, didn't I? I think , I did..Anyway, I am talking for EV. "Expected value"..They still can gamble, but +EV, they do that -EV. At this point...They can turn their "hobi" into something profitable. In a long run..And all this time and money will not be wasted. Complete wasted. What wrong in that? I mean I just want to help them. Not to cheat or something. I didn't ask for money, didn't I? How then I can be a "cheater"? If I don't ask for money.

Is this against the rules? I am asking directly..I don't think so. As long as this site have activity, you will take your profit, no other way. Ok, some of them will not follow your links. Right now..Some guy see that, after a year, let's say . He sees my posts, he don't want to gamble in a casino anymore. Because of me. It will happen. Very unlikely, but possible. Still because of the activity that I am creating, you will have more people, who will follow the links. I did not say the names of the rooms or something. Didn't post a links or whatever. I didn't broke the rules of the forum.

You can just "expand" your "catalog", there are casinos in Asia, they have an affiliate programs. No limits, no bans, no withdraw delay. All this problems, that you have with some casinos. Still cheating is possible, but from the game provider, not from the casino. We are talking for very rich people. With different mindset. And "Asia", it's not a "place", it's a "way". A way of doing the things, I don't know the word. For example there is an "Asian" house in Netherlands. It's not run by a Chinese or Japanese people, it's just a "model".

For example at this moment I am talking with some guy, who want to bet at higher stakes, he want to make big withdraws and deposits. If he have some interest to try that, he will follow the link from your site, he still will play in the casino, also they have referral link for the booky. It's a very small profit for you, but the bets will be large. Small as percentage...Not small as "profit".

I believe that you ought to try to take into account what Jaro has said. I believe that this has created a significant communication barrier because you most likely did not understand what Jaro intended to say, and I, on the other hand, find it difficult to understand the context of what you have said.

However, that is alright. Maybe others will comprehend much more clearly. To put it simply, gambling always results in loss. This is not a safe route to "becoming wealthy." Moreover, highrolling can cost you a lot of money, and the winnings are never granted.

Casinos always win

Actually, what we are saying is that, especially when looking at things long term, playing at casinos should just be a fun way to lose some cash.

We sincerely hope you will not use our links to encourage random players to play at casinos. Have you ever observed a Casino Guru employee doing this? No, since we prefer to alert players about possible risks.

Please, take that into the consideration.

Ok, OK..Are you a Bulgarian? Yes, you are. And yes, if you make -EV bets, you lose, but still you can win, if you have a lot of luck or if you hit the jackpot. I didn't say something different. I am not breaking the rules, I am not lying and I said "the gambling is bad" , "don't do that"..So we have a situation here. A different "animal" which you still are not familiar with. This doesn't mean this animal is bad. Can be friendly, very possible.

I see we have different views on this, but that's okay. It's fine, that's what the conversation is about. As long as it doesn't go into encouraging players to gamble or do something we don't think is right, it's alright. Each person can decide whether they'd rather play with a smaller amount to have fun or whether they want to profit from it. But there is a fine line where it can become an addiction, I think, because if we have it in our subconscious that we can make a profit out of something that is a hobby, then I think we try harder and are willing to spend maybe even more than we would like to. And as it was said wins are not always granted.

So that's it from my side.
