Gambling habits that will cost you

[roosbit]

Those that have been gambling for a long time will agree with some of these bad habits (if I may call them this) which I have found to have a negative effect on our gambling experience.

Any comments or additions, drop them in the thread

1. Cancelling a withdraw because the sportsbook takes long to process it or because you saw a game you think will bring easy profit, stop right here.. my advice don't even think about cancelling this it's a trap that will leave you with no money to withdraw.

2. Don't gamble while you are intoxicated, for obvious reasons judgement is impaired and you will be reckless with how you play.

3. Never gamble with money that isn't yours, this includes taking out loans for the purpose of gambling  because this always ends in you losing all the sourced funds and will result in putting yourself in bad books with friends and family.

4. Avoid accumulators, sometimes these are good but if you in it for the money avoid them! I know many will say if you don't risk it you won't win or say something like "go big or go home" but honestly think about it , you place an accumulator with 3 games and 2 games with big odds of 5 and 7 odds go through and you are left with the multiplier of 1.2 odds which goes on to lose I guess you get my logic

5. Avoid gambling when you are angry or feeling emotional about something or someone, this too affects your game. If it helps talk or see someone before you do something you will regret.

- Quit while you're ahead.

- Don't make a new deposit to recuperate losses.

1. Totally correct. It happened with me few 100 times if not thousands.
2. That's when I lost most of my money.
3. Luckily it never happened with me. I never had to loan for Gambling
4. Man! I can not count how much I lost in these folds. I am too greedy.
5. Happened with me several times and always lost the money. I can not remember a win in this kind of situation.

The bet time for winning for me was/is always when I am cool and unbiased.


6. Do not get excited with the win and bet with the winning money thinking that it's okay to lose. You will find yourself lost the winning and then again you are betting with your initials.

Edit:

- Quit while you're ahead.

What I do is, I request for withdrawal.

Don't follow tipster choice if you don't know what you are betting for.

Especially at sports betting, newbie gamblers will just follow tipsters because they saw how good that tipsters was without knowing that this tipster actually have a lots of bets on-hand at the same time so in case of a loss on a certain game, they also have other chance to win on other games. Unlike those newbies who just follow a single bet and will lose in one single bet.

The emotional part really triggers us, I've done that before and regret what I did. And I'm sure that many also experienced this though it's already a lesson learned for me.

I would like to add also that do gamble with legit crypto casino's only. I've seen many complains about those gamblers who deposited to the fake and scam casino and most of those casinos were newly created.

- Quit while you're ahead.

- Don't make a new deposit to recuperate losses.

- Don't gamble at all.

- Live a productive life.

I mean it may sound like counterintuitive coming from a guy that spends so much time here in the gambling sections but I sternly believe people should give up gambling unless they're doing it for living. Even then they should take care that it stays professional and never - NEVER - becomes a habit or addiction. Then you are screwed. No list will have any value then.

[ethereumhunter]

Yes, that is right, and I already have those experience, and that is hard to stop the habit if we don't have a strong mind to control ourselves. All is about to control ourselves so we can slowly turn the bad habit into a good habit and that will need time before we can stop it. We need help from a friend who will stay beside us to take care every time we play gambling and remind us to leave the gambling if the situation becomes worst. Gladly, I have that friend so that I can leave some of the bad habits in me.

How is gambling ever a good habit? I mean how can you make that analogy? People gamble away their homes, money, parents, wives, lives, you name it.
I find it ironical that as human beings we are incapable of handling the pressures of gambling yet somehow we are drawn to it. Like flies to the light in the midnight.

And that thing you said about friends. A gambler never has enough good friends to pull them out when required. It's rare.

[seoincorporation]

Is important to start with a goal, and if we are up but we have reached the goal is important to ask ourselves if it really worth it to keep trying, i have seen people losing bog money chasing the last $5 for the goal. So, don't be greedy and if you have a bad feeling then quit playing.

[Hypnosis00]

Make gambling as your entertainment, not a source of passive income. Never expect too big from gambling, because if you do so it could frustrate you and make you addicted. Nobody could win over gambling, and although you've been winning at random scenario but the truth is it's always a reversal situation. As long as you don't quit, you're always going to lose all over again.

Considering gambling as an entertainment...it is really hard cause it is addictive in reality. People aim for instant rich and that is the mean reason why they keep on gambling everyday. They are just motivated how others win and hoping they'll still have luck for this. We can't blame them of course but I'm just a little bit disappointed when they put their money at risk which is supposedly it could be in their family  

[ryzaadit]

1. Probably yes, because the site was really long to make a withdrawal it makes you too spent your time wait to doing a gamble. Then you got a greedy emotional went got a small losee, after losing all your profit.
2. Emotional/Psychology was the biggest problem, not everyone can handle that.
3. Never do this, if i doing this. Then I'm an asshole person.
4. Sometimes doing this, sometimes not.
5. Same like my response on number 2.

[leowonderful]

Don't EVER gamble or trade more than you can afford. Probably the biggest and most important thing that's going to prevent you from ruin besides avoiding taking out a loan or borrowing money from other people. Might be a bit hard sometimes, but you absolutely need to abide by this if you want to occasionally gamble.

I would also agree with OP's last point of not gambling during emotional times. I've made a lot of my worst decisions in life in general while I was overly emotional, and I almost never gamble when strong emotions pop up.

[GreatArkansas]

I also experienced some habits that are really bad.
Gambling and in front of your friends or you are overconfident and you want to see your friends will praise you. Something like that, you are gambling because you want to be famous or you want some attention from your friends. It is really bad because gambling is not that about.
If you will succeed then it's good, but if not, too awful. Because your greediness will commence once you do some actions like these.

My advice is:

Don't fall for a tipster until you see his results.
Some newbies just check some free bets of a tipster, they don't look if the tipster had a terrific past where he could have lost or scammed people by taking their money and giving bad signals or simply run away. Checking for everything and if too sure, trying with just a week's trial of VIP purchase is better instead of going for a monthly membership. I had bad experiences with this, so please be careful while selecting a tipster and paying him. Check records, ask for some free VIP tips, watch if you win, go for 1 week trial and if he proves to be a genuine tipster with good win over loss ratio, go for it.

- Don't gamble without good money management.
- Don't gamble when you are not sure what to do and don't be too sure about what you are doing

Don't follow tipster choice if you don't know what you are betting for.

Especially at sports betting, newbie gamblers will just follow tipsters because they saw how good that tipsters was without knowing that this tipster actually have a lots of bets on-hand at the same time so in case of a loss on a certain game, they also have other chance to win on other games. Unlike those newbies who just follow a single bet and will lose in one single bet.

newbie gamblers will easily fall victim to this tipster because they feel confused or discouraged by what he does. Same with me when a beginner, many followed tipster to get quick profits but in the end it was the same, tipster was just bullshit.

I would also agree with OP's last point of not gambling during emotional times. I've made a lot of my worst decisions in life in general while I was overly emotional, and I almost never gamble when strong emotions pop up.

Haha That's difficult bro, you're the same as me. Actually it is human nature and its nature will be different in every human being. Emotions are natural, but we need to learn to control those emotions even though it is quite difficult.

[tsaroz]

Don't gamble with the motivation of getting back what you lost. People often look at what they lost than what they are left with and bets recklessly ending losing up their total bankroll. Provide a budget for your gamble. Don't gamble the money you have set aside for different things. And when you win say a 100% profit, withdraw the profit as you have already doubled your base amount and start playing with the base again, being too greedy would make you lose all.

[fortunecrypto]

I would like to add not knowing how and when to quit, you are winning and you want to extend your winning because you think it's your lucky day until bad luck caught you, you are losing and you still have funds available and you want to gain what you've lost because you think you can until you run out of money.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

I'll love to add, Stick to your budget. For me before gambling I already have a layout plan, which involves how much I'll be willing to risk for betting for that day. Sometime when you win, you get easily tempted to continue betting, might involving betting with both your capital, profit and sometimes additional capital that you never intended using.

Same thing happens when you lose as the tendency of you wanting to win back your fund will make you overspend which involves not sticking to your budget and most times, it does cost you.

Feel free to add more to the list

You need to add one more line to it to make it complete. It is the golden rule of gambling! A lot of people consider gambling as a money making method which is totally incorrect! Because gambling is there to offer you a quick Adrenalin rush inside your brain and a shot at your luck! So add the below,

1. Never consider gambling as a money making method.

Then the list looks complete!

I appreciate your tips, I also know that whenever I have a bad mood and when the atmosphere isn't good it affected my games. Lol.  We should play with the peace of mind.  Also, self-control is significant in every game if we set our mind and stop after we gained some profits even small then it is better.

We will get angry and feel negative if we still play in a bad mood. I am sure that many of us have this experience. Self-control is one thing that we should have so we can prevent from spending too much money. After we can do self-control, we can set our mind not to stays in the gambling places for a long time because that will be too risky for us.
