What do gamblers have in common?

[taufik123]

For me sports gambling is quite healthy, compared to other games, such as slots, dice, roullete and so on, we must sit for hours.

Yes, they are, and they are less addictive, and wisdom is used a lot, and this makes things more peaceful At least the money doesn't go away like it does in roulette or slots, and the best thing is that sports betting is done thanks to the knowledge you have; the rest is just luck.

50% luck and 50% based on the knowledge or data you analyze for that sports bet.
this will make more sense and does not make being a gambling addict compared to games like Slots, ruollete or Crush games.

Also enjoy the game quite comfortably while betting, but of course the allocation used to bet is also limited,
just use a little money and bet for big wins, it's quite realistic than using a lot of money just hoping for another big win.

And there are more other matches or other sports that can be chosen,
just do an analysis according to the available data and if indeed it is the favorite team can make special bets.

Your point in the second paragraph is what I most agree with since this is something I myself have been practicing for a long time now, that is, using little amount of money to chase after big wins rather than using big money to chase after big win, though honestly speaking, I won't say that I've succeeded in this quest but I am definitely and mostly very comfortable with all my loses, I don't regret losing the money I lose to gambling because it's absolutely Insignificant as long as I am concerned..

This is much better than using big money to chase big wins, yeah, the win may likely come faster but then, one must have lost alot of money which even the total amount in winning or the profit made from the win won't or can't cover, which means that even after achieving the big win, one is still in loss, it makes no sense if making money was the actual purpose of gambling since instead of making the money, one is rather losing the money he or she has previously made from other sources.

An absolutely healthy bettor or gambler will never think about these hobbies in their free time, because they have a lot of things to do and other thoughts that, in their opinion, can build a path to happiness.
An absolutely healthy gambler will simply work at his job or invest, and he will mentally understand that he will receive a raise or additional income due to this, buy something, and will not think about how to quickly take this money to the casino and supplement his bankroll.

What you said is really reasonable, if someone wants to maintain both gambling and health at the same time, then they should focus more on real life like work, hobbies and investments, the remaining time can be spent gambling for fun. I would like to add something more to these, if you want to live a healthy life along with gambling, you need to develop diverse interests, financial literacy, strong social support and also critical thinking attitude. Which will help you avoid getting addicted to gambling. So it is not enough to just have willpower but you need to make changes in your lifestyle setup which are making gambling more background noise than front and center, mate.

Healthy gamblers are the majority. I wonder if there's something we all have in common that keeps us on the right path and never oversteps our limits.

That thing which we have in common is discipline. Every gambler that can boast of being responsible is very determined and has enough discipline to never break the rules that they set to follow during gambling. If the person is not disciplined, then they can never be a responsible gambler. It's all a matter of personality too and how we individually handle things on our own aside from when we are gambling.

Exactly mate, discipline is actually the best way to overcome frequent losses in gambling. Because I often see where gamblers normally failed to stick to their decision and ended up making the same mistake everytime, which is very wrong.

Because without being told a gambler is supposed to know when to stop and take a break, because there is no advice that would be better than the one you give to yourself.

Yes, to live a fulfilled life means to have different kinds of experiences, at work and at personal lives.

It also means that it is a good idea to keep your life healthy and free of addictions.

Gambling can definitely be an addiction but it can also be done just for recreation time, and it shouldn't be a problem.

And following that logic no one will control you as it's always on your power to stop if you really want to. But the problem is the uncontrolled situation that leads you into addiction, most of the time, the common thing in each gambler is lacking of will to stop, instead they all wanted to push as they think trying again will let them succeed from the intention that they wanted to achieve while playing/betting.

I used to love card games and would often participate in amateur tournaments with small prize pools. Sometimes I even managed to win promo codes for bonus spins or other types of online casinos.
But after that I became much more interested in eSports. I really enjoy playing online MOBAs and watching tournaments with huge prize pools. I understand that poker, like eSports, is a difficult path to wealth, but it is really interesting.

good, very few speak like that taufik123, and you are right
Now i can't tell you that the percentages you say are correct, i am terrible at math, but it's important to understand that luck plays a very large role when you gamble or place bets. just for know it

I believe that what keeps a gamer healthy is precisely having other priorities that take up space in life. When there are more important things, like family, friendships, or even activities that bring personal satisfaction, gaming ends up in its rightful place: a form of leisure. Perhaps the secret lies in knowing how to balance one's time and not letting it become the sole source of pleasure. But does this balance come more from individual discipline or from the support of those around us?

I agree with you on this, whatever we do there should be a sense of moderation In anything that you do...it's important that you shouldn't take gambling as a priority, you must have other things you are doing that should take your time and attention...gamers can keep a healthy balance when they don't have anything significant going on in their life...if you don't have anything doing to keep yourself busy you shouldnt be gambling

There is even an expression, everything is good in moderation. I use it in life not only in gambling, but also in other areas of my life and I am happy with it. In general, I have noticed that many players have the same thing, for example, that each of them thinks that he will win, and not others, and this sometimes even makes me smile, because they cannot even explain the reasons to themselves. Players should pay more attention to many improvements to themselves, so that they want to control the time of the game, and think about winnings later.

This is a great expression. And I would also say that some things should not be in our lives at all or should be minimal. And based on this, it turns out that "everything is bad in excess". For example, no one will regret if they never try to buy, or try betting and gambling.

Gambling was not made for everyone to play, gamers have an open window to leave or stop at any moment. Those who can't cope with the stress of win or loss are not advised to gamble in the first instance. The outcome is fully draining and exhausting to the brain, when losses move to and fro in the mind.

Yep it's always 50/50.

In sports betting, I'm casually playing because it's fun and there's a thrill. I don't chase for the profit, I just want to be alive like I'm in the scene of esports. I also agree that it's less addictive than other baseless RNG stuff, I want something that relies on my ability and the way I think because it's more fun if you've proven you're correct in your composition or draft analysis.

You can also choose a safe game where you know the teams, unlike other that you are clueless to what will happen next.

[icebar]

I am not addicted to gambling because I can stop gambling at any time. I do not gamble all the time. I give priority to some personal tasks. When I do not have enough bankroll for gambling, I play games when I am free and if I am busy with other work, I give more priority to that task. I have to do a lot of work outside of gambling. But I definitely like the time spent gambling which I enjoy the most.  I am a controlled gambler because it cannot force me to do anything in gambling.

The thing is that balance is the key.. Left to me i feel gambling should only come in as a kind of leisure activity not something that takes the center stage in someone's life. once someone starts making it their main focus i think that is when it becomes a big problem.I also think discipline plays a big role because even if you have family or friends around at the end of the day it is your own choices that matters more. but having other meaningful things going on like work and some minor hobbies kind of helps keep gambling in its place. If someone has nothing else to do, it is easy to get carried away, so staying busy with productive things outside gambling is what keeps it healthy i suppose.

[DiMarxist]

We always talk about addictions, about how to gamble to achieve better results, but the topic of what goes through the mind of a healthy gambler is almost never touched upon.

Healthy gamblers are the majority. I wonder if there's something we all have in common that keeps us on the right path and never oversteps our limits.

Perhaps it has something to do with the time we dedicate to gambling, whether we do it for fun, or even if we have other things that take up most of our free time, like family, sports, exercise, or spending time with the people we love.

As a general dynamic, I'd like to know what you do when you're not gambling. I mean, I don't expect you to tell me about your life. The question is more focused on: What activity you do is above gambling? I mean, something you prioritize in your life more than gambling, or what you like to do. What would make you stop watching the Champions League final, for example?

You are right most discussion mostly talk about, gambling addiction, win or losses not taking about this kind of topic, nice topic there. For me I believe gambling is just Many people hobbies, and a game of fun and entertainment and not a source of making income. But to me the are other important things that should come first and are more important that gambling for example family. I actually enjoyed watching football matches most especially when it comes to premier league and FIFA World cup, and place bet to the matches to make it more interesting, but when friends come visiting family issues comes up or even church programs and the rest, I can skip watching the football matches and even forget about game's I bet on till am done with what so ever is important at that moment.
The ability to disconnect without any regrets I believe that what's separate healthy gamblers form addicted gamblers.

I believe parlays are the biggest temptation in sports betting because the combined odds can really tempt a gambler to place a bet, especially if they know the potential win if their choice is correct. Parlays are not my first choice in sports betting, but some gamblers really hope for big profits from them and they only bet on parlays instead of single bets.

Well, you're right about that The temptation is very great in sports betting with parlays, because if you win, it's big. I'm not like that, I prefer to make one or two bets, but I know that those bets are completely safe, If I lose, it's not a problem, and if I win, then I accumulate my money there And it's everywhere. Many people do parlays. I don't know how they do it.

[Royal Cap]

The question is more focused on: What activity you do is above gambling? I mean, something you prioritize in your life more than gambling, or what you like to do. What would make you stop watching the Champions League final, for example?

Well I think the real difference is in priorities. Those who only see gambling as entertainment can easily put it aside when something more important in life comes up. For me work and learning new things always take precedence over gambling, even if there is a big match on I still stop because I know that the pleasure is temporary but the results of spending time elsewhere are long term. Healthy gamblers probably all share the commonality that they know what is more meaningful in the long run.

If a person understands that working, studying or learning something new in life will improve him in the long run, then they will never take a risky thing like gambling so seriously. People always expect a lot from gambling and take it very seriously, and this is the biggest reason that leads them to addiction. Those who play with a healthy mindset know what to give importance to and what is temporary. The right understanding is important here, then everything will be fine, and if you can maintain the right mindset, it will never be able to addict you.
