Gambling habits that will cost you

[STT]

Dont gamble when drunk and be careful with money or at least have a set budget. There is no other golden rules apart from that imo, getting overly involved in a system or a long procedural line of do and do nots is;
 A. not that fun to follow B. unlikely to help as much as strict principles in simplicity.

I don't know about online gambling because I never tried it. the good thing about not engaging in this kind of thing is you are free of stress. and when you are content on what you have you are really no need of engaging in this thing because the winning possibility is too low and you need to cheat if you want to win and you will learn to cheat all the time if you really stuck on gambling.

At some points you can say that you are stress free if you don't gamble but for some gamblers, gambling is their way to remove their stress after working for how many hours. Do the gambler has a chance to cheat in a casino?? I know that the winning possibilities in gambling is low but the reward is high that is why they call it "High Risk High Reward" investment.

Kamling will not leave you to sleep happily because it will makes you to be more interested and also involved in it but I think ok it will depends upon the mindset of a gambler if they are getting so much controlled. While he is is in constant mind set then there is no problem in that but some people will not be like that that is the problem for them

It is an addiction you mean...meanly people get addicted because they win at first and trying to win again which is a very common reason why they should come back in gambling. Do we think that they could control such feelings? I think not, cause they are totally controlled by their mind and it could just stop once they open up their minds again.

Not many gamblers can open their minds to think about stopping from gambling because once they feel the win money, they want to get the win over and over. While they feel happy with their win, they come back in gambling and hope this time they will win another winning, but the truth is they will lose their money. They cannot control their feelings, especially if they can win more than 5 times because, at that time, greediness will come to them and telling them to play more to win the money.

Maybe there's an exemption in the type of game, sometimes I feel like I want to drink when I gamble.
Usually the process is, bet on the sports I love, and then have some drink while watching the game, that way I feel more relax and entertained, I just have to avoid myself doing the live betting as I might mess up my entire bankroll.

Anyone who gambles long enough was in situations described by OP, or in all of them. I was in all of them!
1. I canceled withdraw cause it takes to long to process many times, and many times I lost the entire bankroll after doing that.
2. I gambled intoxicated many times, and I`m still doing that. Sometimes it`s good to have more courage to push until the end. This is 50/50, several times I lost good, but there were good wins while I gambled intoxicated.
3. Many years ago I gambled with money that`s not mine and I lost, never again!
4. Accumulators will take you down in 9 of 10 cases!
5. This is the worst from them all, don`t gamble while you are in a negative mood. In most cases, you will lose cause you don`t think with a cool head, and any kind of negativity will be doubled, tripled after losing!

Don't chase your losses.

Don't try to be over confident while gambling.

Never think gambling will give easy money.

That's correct mate, years ago I could remembered that most of my loses where as a result of my foolishness of chasing my lost and in the process of chasing my lost end up with huge lose. That's the lesson I have learnt and still learning to avoid stigmatization from gambling, and many are still making the same mistakes.

Can't blame them. And sometimes even those that are experienced already will still make the same mistake of chasing loses. The fact that you're making a habit out of gambling will in itself cost you. Money, time, reputation, and a few more will be on the line once you succumb to excessive gambling.

I have already moved away from gambling and have the patience to make a more sure step for my well-being.  I decided to look for opportunities to invest in gambling, and not play.

I would say that you have made a very great decision and  frankly investing is safer and better than gambling directly even though the profit might be small. I got to know about this after I had lost too much to gambling. It was at that point a friend told me about gambling investment I have no single regret about this.

This doesn’t stop me from gambling, but I only play for fun and its occasional. The mistake we make as gamblers is playing directly for profit, knowing fully well that making huge profit is impossible since the house is and will always remain the winner, at least we all know that the odds are in favor of the house, so wisdom will direct to invest directly in the sites to enjoy shares from their profits.

At First, I thought this was a frequent topic where you discuss the most common things about what kind of habits that could affect your gambling efficiency or something, but it's not. It's a reasonable and realistic thing that happens with people — especially the first one where you got impatient with your withdrawal and decided to play with it again. I have experienced that, lol. I didn't have the patience, and it cost me.

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.


Feel free to add more to the list

On point one, I didn't know that I never cancel a withdrawal, I will remember this one, lest I got myself in this kind of situation,
All the others tell us that we should not lose our control when we are gambling, it's risky and dangerous, only play to have fun, all other reason will put you at risk.

[Indamuck]

I would say taking out any type of loan from a friend in order to gamble.  This is just setting yourself up for a bumpy ride.  The next is constantly chasing your losses and thinking you can win the money back.  I've seen gamblers on stream constantly say just one more for 30 hands of blackjack.

For me, the worst habit is trying to gain what you lost
Me: this time I'll recover all my lost money with this single bet 

[bitgolden]

Gamble only if you have spare money to spend and for entertainment to avoid any pressure while playing and if in case you will lose then you will not be affected so much because it's just your spare money. Also don't try think of being lucky because it won't help a thing.

This is actually the number one rule of gambling even though so many gamblers ignore this rule. It’s so unfortunate that gambling is now seen as a means to make money among many players and this is the reason for the increased number of addicted gamblers and also depression rate among many. It’s been recorded that quite a large number of players fall into depression after losing, what makes them go into depression is definitely because they didn’t commit their spare money if not, loss is meant to be one of those things in gambling.

Last year a young guy in my neighborhood committed suicide and then dropped a note, on the note, he explained how he had collected money from a lot of people to gamble and because he is unable to pay, and do not how to face his borrowers he decided to end his life. It was terrible. This is what gambling without control can lead to. Death .

Even at that you might be tempted start all over again because you are still there in the system, lol. Though i don't know what exactly warrant your exit from gambling but solely believe that it is a good idea if you can keep yourself out. Many like use have done this before and couldn't end the way we started, but in all, you have taken the right step in the right direction.

I busted a lot on dice and poker because i wanted to end a session with a round number. So when i was up $98 with poker and just needed to make it $100 before i stopped. Sometimes I lost that $98 to get the $ more

That's definitely because of your greediness, unless it's part of your strategy to win that amount.
Thing is, in gambling it should be played with a very precise strategy and we need to stick with it all throughout the game, if it tells you to stop, you should, so it will not ruined your momentum and you can stop at a profit, whether big or small.

most gamblers has this kind of mindset that they have/need to gain back what they lost without them realizing that instead of gaining they lose more
and will realize that they won't be able what they lose a little too late and then regret everything they did.

Statements like this are only made by gamblers that are not willing to learn the required skills in each game. If we hear stories of gamblers winning million dollars from gambling, what stops us from believing we can also achieve this? I read something on the news last week about a guy that won over 50BTC from one of the gambling sites and according to the news, he had never won a dime before that time. Sometimes patience and a heart that is opened to learning is all we need to succeed in the game.

The percentage gambling investors get is nothing compared to what they make from playing directly on the site. So why invest when you can as well play and even make more profit? Just cancel fear, go for more knowledge and be determined to make money from the game and you will surely make it.

Actually, to be honest, I don't get the logic, sorry! I don't really bet on casino games so this might be the reason why I didn't understand.
So... What is an "accumulator"?

I think being impatience with withdrawal is one of the most common mistakes with most of the gamblers that we have.  Don’t know why we never learn from other gamblers, when it happened to me, I didn’t lose so much because I only played with small money and even the profit I refused to withdraw was small, so I didn’t really feel bad when the whole money crashed.

The topic is common but reasonable because, there are lots of lessons that one can really learn from it and we keep learning daily. You can imagine how much people lost on gambling sites everyday despite on they read on the forum concerning how to detect and avoid scam sites.
