Stop gambling with pride

[ShowOff]

If we only follow our emotions, one win will not really satisfy us, and one loss will not have stopped us. We always have that inquisitive feeling that pushes us to go at it again, wishing that another flap of good luck would wipe all previous bad luck clean. Here is where the perpetual cycle of gambling begins, where people continue playing not because they love winning but because they can never stop.

This is why one should always be on his guard and exercise restraint. The more often we visit gambling sites, the more the risk of substantial losses creeps in, as does the likelihood of sinking into gambling addiction. Emotions, especially greed and wanting to ‘’get back’’ the losses in particular ‘’revenge’’ are the biggest enemies in this game. That’s why discipline is not only in the strategies but in the ability to restrain oneself when desire starts overtaking sense.

Make sure to manage your budget and time well when you want to gamble, in my opinion, these two things will automatically help you gamble responsibly. Simply put, when your gambling budget is used up or you have reached the planned gambling time limit, it means you must immediately end your session. Regardless of whether you are winning or losing, never exceed the limits you have set.

By following this approach, I believe every gambler can enjoy gambling and get the entertainment they expect from each bet. When you exceed the limits, especially when chasing losses, it is certain to have negative consequences, and you may never truly enjoy gambling. With such discipline, you may be able to continue gambling every weekend without worrying that it will negatively impact your life.

If you ask me, that's just plain stupid if anyone even thinks about considering gambling as a source of income. It can never be and it will never be. If anyone does that anyway, he is bound to get disappointed. It should only be considers as a thing for entertainment. But there will always be people who would assume it's some kind of money printing machine and that it can miraculously change their fortune overnight. Well good luck to them, that miracle surely isn't be coming to them anytime soon..and until that realization happens it's gonna be too late...

People who think they can consistently profit from gambling and make it a source of income are those whose minds are preoccupied with gambling, making it a priority in their lives. They simply ignore the potential losses, or they believe every loss will eventually be repaid, so they consider it like saving.
But once they're bankrupt and realize they were wrong, they still have the opportunity to change everything, including themselves, for the better. But this requires strong determination.

These should be accepted as normal, gambling is risky, and if gamblers get overly excited after losing money and immediately gamble with more money to recover the lost money, they will lose that amount of money. It would be best for gamblers to use a limited amount of money for gambling and not be too affected by whether the result comes in their favor or against them. If a gambler wins in a gamble, he should take a break for that time and start again. If the opposite happens, that is, if the gambler loses money, he should take a break and find out the reasons for his loss and then gamble again thoughtfully. In these cases, the more rashly a gambler makes decisions, the greater the possibility that the result will go against him. Therefore, gamblers should continue gambling naturally, even though they are thinking about the safety of their money.

Treating gambling as a steady source of income is one of the biggest mistakes anyone can make gambling is built on chance and chance never guarantees profit no matter how experienced or confident someone is the odds are always tilted in favor of the house the illusion of control makes people think they can outsmart the system but in reality every win only feeds the belief that it’s sustainable while every loss deepens the trap.

The real danger starts when gambling becomes the center of someone’s financial life they start convincing themselves that every loss is temporary and that the next game will bring it all back it becomes a cycle of chasing losses and calling it strategy they stop seeing it as entertainment and start treating it like a job but a job that never pays consistently and slowly takes away both money and peace of mind. Some people do come to that breaking point when they finally realize the truth bankruptcy regret and emotional exhaustion can become the wake up call that forces change but recovery requires strong willpower and the humility to admit that gambling can never be a stable income source it’s fine as entertainment in moderation but once it becomes a plan for survival it’s already a losing game.

I must say that doing the errors especially in gambling is a feature not a bug. You are expected to make errors. Its all included in the calculations of risks and rewards.

No matter how good you are someone will eventually take you by the balls.

Gambling with pride sounds crazy. Similarly, gambling with shame would also be equally crazy. The fact is that gambling is a form of entertainment and you should be gambling with joy. Those are the people who end up the winners in the end. Life is short. Possessions are borrowed. Happiness is irreplaceable.

I still don't understand why someone would want to gamble with ego or with pride because once it gets to that level then it is no longer gambling, it has now turn to a battle to prove one thing or the other and by doing so, the spirit of gambling in you which includes the fun in it will be spoilt and instead of chasing wins, you will be surprised that you will be chasing losses instead because pride in its own nature can drive you into chasing losses in the event that you want to prove something that is even unnecessary instead of enjoying the fun in gambling.

I do wonder sometimes if people actually gamble just to catch fun alone because while I can also call myself an advocate of gambling for fun, I used to believe that you cannot just gamble entirely for fun because it is nearly impossible to also consistently gamble just for the fun of it but where the challenges lie sometimes is when people get so deep into gambling that they start to see it as a consistent or reliable way to earn a living when gambling is obviously a game of chance and should be seen with such mindset. Else you will just be slowly digging a hole for yourself without noticing.

The fact that someone lost control in gambling and stop thinking straight doesn't necessarily mean they have pride or pride had taken over them rather they are just been selfish and greed because at every point in time we should always know or remind ourselves that gambling is not guarantee and anything can wrong any day or anytime so trying to chase loss is selfishness and anyone who does that will surely live to suffer it because gambling doesn't consider your status or anything, it messes people up anyhow if they are not wise and careful.

First and foremost, no one was promised anything in gambling, so I concur to what you said about nothing being assured in gambling and that's more reason every gambler should not at anytime think of chasing loss, as gamblers, the first thing we should have in mind is that we can not win more than the house and I think such mindset will prepare us to gamble with what we can afford to lose so that we won't for once want to try to win back those losses, I see this point I made as one of the ways we can gamble without having to think of going the the wrong way that can ruin us mentally.
