Criteria of a good gambler

[alfs75]

A lot of people wonder what is the criteria of a good gambler, here are some of my thought about good gambler

a good gambler never chase profit
Profit might be the first reason why people gamble, but a good gambler never attached to the profit, the most important thing in gambling is excitement and fun experience, having profit is just the bonus

a good gambler able to control himself / herself
Self controlling is very important in gambling, without a clear mind there will be a lot of mistakes in betting and even causing reckless betting and losing all of the money in split second

a good gambler know when to stop
Setting a limit is very important in gambling, setting a lost limit will prevent you to over spend your money and setting a win limit is  also important because in the long run the house got a bigger chance to win due to the house edge

a good gambler never cause any problem to the surrounding
A good gambler know that the chances of losing money in gambling is huge, so a gambler should never used daily needs money or borrowing money to gamble, and a gambler should never think of robbery or stealing to gamble

a good gambler can accept lost
When losing a good gambler won't blame the surrounding, cursing or accusing the  casino as fraud places, losing is the half part of gambling, if you can't accept lost then dont start to gamble

a good gambler should able to manage the time
A good gambler know how to split the time for family, for friends and for gambling, a good gambler never neglected family or friend just because of gambling

We must encourage people to become a good gambler, so people won't always have a bad judgement about gambler

Will,i respect your preference on how to become a good gambler,maybe its can give us good example for us here,that even we are a gambler we still have a dignity to maintain and thats is never to neglect our family,friends,the people who care us etc.by splitting our time to gamble and to the institution that we belong by giving them time and effort to recognize there presence.

Good tips. But i think you are missing something very important. A good gambler should have a well thought out game plan (These include staking value for each round, types of games to and not to be involved in etc.) - except that gambler is just there for fun as your first point notes.

I agree with most of what you say but, LOL:

a good gambler never chase profit
Profit might be the first reason why people gamble, but a good gambler never attached to the profit, the most important thing in gambling is excitement and fun experience, having profit is just the bonus

That makes you a good gambler for the casino. Casinos make their profits from people who want to have fun, and many times end up angry and frustrated after losing too much. You can’t have much fan when you get a long losing streak.

i see this thing the same,that you cant be called as gambler if your not into Profit your category should be a Player since winnings for you is just a Bonus..yeah i agree that Gambling was created to give fun and enjoyment for all of us and its just being abused now so it become a profiteering but lets accept the reality that we are playing gambling to win..only fews are for fun and those are the newbies in this field but when getting matured it become business

Gambling was never there for fun and entertainment. Even in the old civilizations, people used to gamble for winning some amount of money than mere enjoyment. It has been cursed even in those days because those who lose, it was hard for him to recover the amount. It is every time your luck that needs to support you in meeting the level of your greediness and the bad thing is that luck is not our servant.

It depends on the game. Do you believe it's possible to have a game plan for slots?
The most important features of a gambler are: cold blood, being able to calculate without emotions, and intuition. The rest can be learned. You an learn to play any game, count cards, but if you allow the emotions to take over and have no intuition you'll be a bad player.

well this is what most people expect, most people gamble with high emotional, hope to win continuously and get bigger profit, naturally everyone related to money must be related also with emotional background to support family, if all the gambler like this possible the gambling criminal rate will be smaller

But they don’t stick to their plan later on. Majority of the gamblers are those who have families at their home to whom they have some responsibilities. They have to take care of their food and resources. But when these people come in gambling, firstly they would chose a bad thing for good purpose that is totally worthless. Secondly, when they get into this, they start being greedy.

This is why it is always advised to avoid this game. Once someone comes across it, it is not very easy to get this out of one’s mind. Better to stay away than to fight with one’s greed afterwards.

There are many ways to entertain or earn money. Being a human, it is an obligation to use the brain that Creator has gifted us. What amazes me the most is that gamblers know very well the consequences and risk involved, yet trouble themselves by jumping into this fire?

You know whats good about OPs advise to gamblers? His advise is applicable to traders. Seriously if you apply those in your trading strategy, you'll have better chances in gaining profit than losing in trading with the current market condition of trading Altcoins or Bitcoins.

It took me a while to realise what you say, but in the end I understand your point, and I am agree that need to be focus and never let greed consume you, its rather exciting to see you able to think outside of the box, and I am glad that my opinion can be used in different things

There is no doubt that Op has touched some of the most basic situations of a gambler life and put it up in a nice way for which I feel the op deserves a bit thank you.

However despite op best efforts people are not going to follow it, we're gamblers that's how typical we're.

Honestly I don't really think there is a good or bad gambler we're gamblers and we'll always gamble and most of the op facts we'll conviently ignore. Be true to yourself and tell me that's not the case?.

Well when you lost do you learn your lesson? Or after you lose you are going to grab your saving and put it again on the gambling table? The choice of gambling is in our hands, if we can control it then we can be a better gambler, its not easy to control your greed, but it's not impossible to control yourself and as a human being we must able to learn and adapt

~snip~

Here in our country if you are a gambler, your personality seem to be tainted. You can never be good because it is the norm of our society that gambling is not good because it can cause you more trouble.

Do you know why people got tainted personality when they gamble, because most of the people cause trouble when they gamble, people become homeless, family being abandon and some become criminal, that is why people always ask us to stay away from gambling, but if we can be a responsible gamble, I don't see any problem and if you are a good gambler don't bother with their judgment, even if you are as good as angel they still can talk bad things about you

I agree with most of what you say but, LOL:

Gambling is supposed for fun its like you spend money for buying game or watching movie or playing game in carnaval lf you think of profit when you gamble then it's better to stay away from gambling, gambling is depends on your luck and you can't predict your luck , in the modern time many people spending time on gambling table to have a chat or having fun with friends while gambling , so gambling is not always about profit

[blckhawk]

It is very rare to see a good gambler because when you have been experience the negative effects of this gambling your mindset or your thinking will be change. Anyway, in my opinion being a  good gambler simply have a characteristic of:
1. Can control himself/herself in playing
2. Never chase a profit
3. Make sure that you will never addicted upon it.
4. Always be humble.
5. See it as entertainment not as income and etc

I think your point falls on a good gambler should be able to manage his time.Yes as long as you know your limits,then you will be able to realize that family first before any gambling activities.Gambling should not be a hindrance in making your loved ones feel that you still care for them for whatever reasons.

That is sure thing. What you have in your hand, if being invested or traded in bitcoins then surely everything would be doubled. All your so called profits in gambling would be turned in the real profits that will be felt so strongly.

Dear friend, think before you do. Act of this wise statement and change your life standards by trading and investing in bitcoins and have a happy life.

This is the most misused concept that gamblers are involved in this game just for the purpose of entertainment. No one is enjoying the game when they are losing their capital. Happiness is there only when they win the bet. Money is something that we all need and we are always working hard in order to earn some money. So that is mere exaggeration that people gamble just for fun. They want money.

This post sums yp all the other threads in one single thread. I salute you for the efforts. Now that you have mentioned controlling one's self, I would like to add that it is quite hard to control yourself completely. However, you can fake yourself. When gambling, you should give the impression to others that you are relaxed, or you can do the opposite if it is in your favor. Also, a good gambler is someone with good manipulative skills. Being a manipulator is not that easy at all.

Controlling oneself is probably one of the hardest things to do not only in gambling but in anything, the person that has achieved self-mastery is a person that will have a very easy life, if you think about it most of the problems that people have are caused by themselves a person that is able to control himself will avoid most of the problems of life, and his life will move forward with very little inconveniences.

This summarizes all the questions about the characteristics and habit of a gambler. If all gamblers posses all this then there should be no gamblers doing crimes just to pay their gambling satisfaction. There are also no broken families or families that lost their financial life because of gambling. Take time to read this and make this possible in every one of us.

Gambling is just a sort of fun and entertainment with profitable outcome if you got lucky and this should not be abuse to avoid mishandling that leads to corruption of assets and responsibility towards something that we should have to give priority like family and work. A good gambler has the ability to understand the current situation and eager to follow his limits to avoid greediness and loses and worst is relationship will compromise.

a good gambler can manage his money, I mean he knows how much money he will use to play, he doesn't play too much in any games, he knows when the stop the games, he can manage his emotion in gambling and another else. and if we can do this, I think we can be a good gambler, at least we don't have to lose much money in gambling games. besides that, we need to prevent greediness that will always come when we can win the money.

If gamblers come forward to listen to these criteria, probably we can have a clean gambling environment like peaceful gamblers and crime-free gambling houses. Unfortunately so far I have observed no gamblers will be ready to follow any such instructions. But it is our responsibility to enforce such criteria for the gamblers to follow all the time so that we will see no more families are suffering due to gambling.

You cannot enforce anything because gamblers themselves need to understand the importance of such criteria for their better life. Even you will be enforcing, I believe it will not make any differences and all your efforts will go in vain. Gambling probably enables people to go in wrong sides of life and  it affects not just a gambler but they are family too. Even gamblers are not understanding this and not ready to come out of this problem is too. Very pathetic.

Its true that gamblers understand that their actions have a bad effect on their family and friends and society in general. But the truth is that they cant stop themselves from playing and thus they are forced by their minds to play (so to say). They are tempted easily by the greed which also fuels them.

The OP is writing stuff which is coming their mind, but its just plain assumptions. If all these criteria were fulfilled then the person would no longer be a gambler rather become a saint LOL.

Actually, you generalized and summarized all the necessary traits not solely for gamblers, but also for people who are struggling financially. You know, the number one problem with gamblers is their ability to continue despite having a losing-streak. Never chase profits especially when you utilise a means which revolves around luck and odds. Gambling is the worst method to chase for profits especially when you are struggling financially and are also drown in debts.

This summarizes all the questions about the characteristics and habit of a gambler. If all gamblers posses all this then there should be no gamblers doing crimes just to pay their gambling satisfaction. There are also no broken families or families that lost their financial life because of gambling. Take time to read this and make this possible in every one of us.

You are right but the problem is that not all gamblers share the necessary attitude, discipline and traits that OP has mentioned. When you are financially struggling, their vision and decision making skills tend to be blurred by the fact of paying your obligations.

2. Never chase a profit
3. Make sure that you will never addicted upon it.
4. Always be humble.
5. See it as entertainment not as income and etc

if the first criterion is met, then the chase for profit is allowed. Looking for profit is the right of all gamblers, if you can control yourself, why can not you look for profit? As long as you can control yourself, then you will not be addicted, so looking for profit is not the wrong thing.
