Gambling responsibly, is it possible or myth?

[Ucy]

I don't get where are you heading here.

You are saying that gamblers that are gambling for fun and profit are different, well it is true that it is different but saying that they are fine or don't mind losing that is not fun at all. I mean, put yourself on that gambler, you gamble for fun and you are losing a lot of money, that is fine with you? If you are gambling for fun, and you are losing where is the fun at that? Please answer me. I don't get it.

I agree that losing isn't fun but you don't have to gamble a lot of money to have fun. You can have fun while gambling with a lot of money but you're more focused towards profiting than having fun since you're gambling so much money. You can do both but one is always higher than the other and it  will show based on your gambling activity.

No matter how hard you try to gamble for fun only, it is simply not possible. The main reason for this is that at the back of your mind, you have money in your mind. Even if your intention is not to win but still you have a fear of loss.

This fear of losing money will not let you enjoy gambling at full strength.

Well,  most things that are fun also involve money... so I don't understand what you really mean by it is hard to gamble for fun only. People spend a lot of money to get drunk, smoke, and have fun.

My advice is if you think you are addicted, don't try to leave it completely because it will attract you more. Try to limit it and divert your mind to a variety of hobbies and topics

Do share your strategies and efforts on how you control it and limit it if you are addicted

It's not only your advice. It's a common knowledge every psychiatrist will tell you when you go to rehab. An addict deprived of the source of addiction will think only about it and will be unable to focus on work or anything else. For this reason drug addicts are getting drug substitutes first.

I never had a problem with fighting addiction. I'm so focused on my daily routine that I'm always able to control my cravings. I do stuff like gambling, alcohol, drugs, caffeine, sugar, but never cross the line with any of them.

This should be on Gambling discussion.

Every gambler must play responsibly and it possible to some gamblers but impossible to addict gambler. I don't gamble that much nowadays as I only gamble when there a tournament for Dota 2. I do esports gambling now and left the conventional online casino as it makes me gamble every day. I find esport gambling much more convenient for me that regular gambling.

Gambling responsibly is possible for everyone. It is only a matter of decision.
Every men has an ability to control themselves just that many fail to do this or perhaps do not pay much attention to that aspect until they become addicted and this is mainly because of greed.

I have been gambling for over 5 years now, I try to as much as I can not to become addicted, there are times I find out am about starting addiction and I just learn to limit the time I spend on gambling each day. The strategies the OP listed above can also be helpful.

Indeed, a gambler needs pure commitment with his plans when it comes to gambling.
Because if he will not stick to those plans, he will find himself addicted again and really hard to go back to where you started.
Being a responsible gambler is very possible for everyone. You are fighting with your own self in this battle.

Some people can do it well. most taoi cannot take responsibility properly. when we play gambling, a lot of temptations arrive. that's why the importance of self-control, every gambling player must be able to ensure that they can avoid bad things, without that ability they will not get a good future.

[shield132]

I think it's still very individual task, from the very first moment you have to forget that you'll profit, gambling while on financial stress is the worst thing to do because you'll lose current finances too.
Just say no to it, if you continue, you'll go deeper, better to stop where you are in stuck and try to come back, I know it's not so easy as I say but I repeat again, it's very individual, not everyone has high self control.

This is the reason why many gamblers failed because they can't fight the temptations. Most of us are weak and there is no denying that fact. The number of strong-willed individuals are small. This is why gambling industry continues to grow like mushrooms.

I don't see why this wouldn't be possible as long as you are a responsible person. It's useless to create all kind of limits to yourself and your money if you are not responsible enough to respect them so if you know that you are not that type of person then better stop wasting your time trying all kind of strategies to gamble responsibly. You have to decide if you are or not a responsible person.

I get your point here, but there's also people/gamblers who can manage to follow this process, it's a practice that they enjoyed doing this activity,
the more they control their emotions the more they seen the enjoyment around, we already read lots of things about misfortune due to a gambler
greediness, instead of cashing out and enjoy, there's some who continue or comeback and loses everything again.

That’s absolutely right mate,I totally agreed on that since there's different people in gambling and some of them are just considering this field as enjoyable way of playing,and others consider this as source of income they are he people who gamble for living and this for me is not really advisable because gambling always rely on luck and not skills

Thats the problem as gambling is addicting specially to people that has a low control on their emotions,and this is not easy to resist

Many of us have in some part of our life gambled our money/coins. Sometimes we win huge and sometimes we bust it all. We all have our reasons to gamble. For many, it is financial stress, for many its a hobby and for many its an addiction.

But when we gamble much, we justify ourselves that we are just trying to win and not addicted. But many of us know, that at some point we really do become addicted to it.

We always set a goal of winning and then even when we achieve it, we continue to gamble and gamble leading to bust of all balances sometimes.

However, many types of research and statistics show, that most gamblers gamble responsibly. I find this really contradictory to what I have experienced and observed.

I have played on many casinos and at one point I was really addicted to it and I busted much daily. I wanted to leave it entirely only to get attracted to it again. So, I picked up certain habits;

• I set a fixed amount I will wager no matter if I lose or win.
• I set a fixed amount of winnings after which I stopped gambling no matter even if I think I can win more.
• The moment I busted or wagered or won my daily cap, I closed the site immediately and opened YouTube, played a movie/song I liked and drank a cup of coffee relaxing my mind.
• If the temptation arises too much, I open a charity website immediately and donate a part of my winnings and pray a bit. The satisfaction sometimes overweighs the temptation and helps me calm.
• If the temptation still doesn't go away, I open the casino site and play with zero amount bets or with the faucet to calm the desire.
• After that I close my computer and go out, convert my coins to cash, give some to homeless people on street, buy myself a coke/snacks and play a sport or exercise.
• After a tiring time, I come home and study and then eat and sleep. Not opening the computer till next day.

My advice is if you think you are addicted, don't try to leave it completely because it will attract you more. Try to limit it and divert your mind to a variety of hobbies and topics

Do share your strategies and efforts on how you control it and limit it if you are addicted

I don't think we should set goals of how much we desire to make as a gambler because gambling is a very risky venture and going into it without adequate knowledge on the risk involved and how we can be addicted to it is more disastrous than investing itself!  Never ever put money you cannot really afford to lose and you are good to go.

I agree with that, it is your responsibility to take moderation in anything might distract you or will make you addicted like in gambling we can say that at some point we can see this only for entertainment but once it already catch your attention and it fed the gap between you and your boredom it is impossible at some point to control ourselves, moderation is the key. Balancing the things that we love and the things that we should do may seems to be hard since it is part of our nature to seek for happiness, take gambling as conventional activity not a habitual one. That is what I usually do in Vegas casino I required myself to manage the time I a lot in online gambling to prevent any excessive attention I give into it.

That's why they loss, without discipline would not make you safe in gambling, yes, we loss but we can control the risk if we are responsible.
Without discipline will lead to addiction and when addiction gets in your system, it would make you destroy your own self.
We can prevent these if we know the risk, then we take proper actions.

safe ? gambling has never been safe because gambling is known to be the riskiest game on earth due to its complete randomness  . undisciplined people do also won as soon as thier luck strikes but eventually they can also loose all what they earn given that they dont have a self descipline to stop  . @op  gambling responsibility  is not a myth but rather its true . we can obtain it on our selves as long as we are willing  . though it can be a big myth to some because they tend to be iresponsible when it comes to playing a gambling game .

Many people are a trap in the gambling industry, and we are seeing more addicting people on gambling. I thought that in the first time we are a responsible person but after we play more than 5 times and we can add more experience in the gambling games, we are losing the responsibility for our money and finally, we are losing money.

[Indrawan77]

I think there are a lot of gamblers that could responsible for their act, but I admit its kind of hard to stock to the commitment and the limit tgat we set, when I win more than my limit, my mind will ask me to play again, and I think if you're addicted you should completely leave the game, dont make any trigger that could make you fall back into the addiction

I supported what you said because setting a certain goals of the amount ones will win in gambling will literally lead to greed which will make ones addicted to gambling. This is why people who cannot control his greed level or accept losses should not gamble.

[jrrsparkles]

Still possible to play responsibly and know their limits upto how much they can lose for gambling those are called professional gamblers or someone who is gambling for too long and too often but main intention of gambling don't have to be money making when we want to gamble responsibly or we will get addicted at some point as you mentioned.

[Pamadar]

Temptations that needed to keep away when you are in this activity, when you win you should act correctly, quitting and enjoying should be the first thing in mind, being greedy will keep you stay and suffer more addictions so setting a good limits and follow it will be your tools to avoid doing this mistakes out from your gambling activity.

I don’t want to believe there’s anyone without self-control, I think there are just people who allow emotions control them and it now becomes difficult to control themselves on the game. How is the gambler who cannot control himself in gambling able to control himself in other things like having multiple women, because there are gamblers that have discipline in other areas of their lives but when it comes to gambling, they become weak.

The reason is because they have allowed the game enter deeply into their being as a result of time they might have probably spent on the game and with time, it will now be hard to control themselves on the game.

[TheCoinGrabber]

Gambling responsibly is like smoking responsibly - you don't get your ass bitten off immediately right now but somewhere further into the future. The more responsible you are the greater the delay would be that you might not be even alive by then to feel it!
