Be a Responsible Gambler

[swogerino]

yes, for those who gamble only for entertainment and pleasure, to be precise only for those who have a lot of money, he will not feel worried if he loses in gambling. of course they are able to take responsibility for the consequences of the risks that will be faced. Most people who make gambling their source of income will easily give up when they experience losses and will not be satisfied if they get a few wins.

That's why gamblers should play with money that they afford to lose, never gamble with borrowed money or hot money what I mean is it will be used on other things or to buy daily stuff. I suppose it's fine if sometimes do gamble on purpose to earn but to fully rely on gambling as of the earning incomes are the wrong mindset.

Situational awareness is a must, because most of the time what we start for fun leads towards disaster. Myself too never had the thought of making big money out of gambling, but the winning made me spend more and more. Finally when I've lost everything I don't have any other way to get it back. This is where we do stupidity. Taking a break and analysing well with alternate plans is the wise choice.

When we got winning many times, that can lead us to spend more and more because winning is satisfying and we want to have those feelings. I think that is happening to many gamblers and we end up losing all of the money and can not recover the losing money. So remember, when we can win for some rounds, taking a break will be the way for us to lowering the tension because of the winning before. By doing that, we can think clear of what we will need to do and save the winning money.

Not just winning makes people increase their bets but also losing. It is not just about winning or losing in gambling but it is about being responsible. You need to stop when you feel it is enough and you will not tolerate your own rules. Gambling is just a sort of entertainment. If you take it too serious, you cant afford the negative outcome (the worst can be the same as OP' story)

There is a simple way to be a responsible gambler: Set your daily limit. Ex: you will only gamble 20$ a day and stop when you lose $20

Everybody knows the daily limit but from saying it to implementing it is a huge gap.Many people can't stick to it although they set a daily limit.They get mad when they lose this limit and say I just want to hit a few more spins and quit but this leads them to losing everything.

Of course, the problem is that to set a daily limit is a rational decision, while when gambling we are often driven by emotions. A problem gambler, as the OP seems to be, is not going to find it useful to make such a rational decision. The best thing to do is to give up gambling for good. It happens like with an alcoholic, the only solution is that he does not drink another drop in his life, because a single drink triggers the old self-destructive pattern.

The daily limit is something you should and shouldn't, because I think when you have a daily limit you will force you to keep rolling or placing bets until you reach the limit itself. This at least will only make us stunned by the daily limit that is set, so that the bet made will not be really good for the profit that is actually being sought.

There are gamblers who are enjoying benefits out of daily limit and there are some other gamblers who are destroying themselves just because of daily limit like you have mentioned. That is the point where and how gamblers are becoming responsible and protecting their bankroll.

Responsible gamblers will find benefits like saving their time, saving their bankroll and more importantly responsible gamblers will enjoy their gambling moments unlike how most of the gamblers are getting frustrated at the end of gambling. So, I believe how you're going to make use of your limit is the concern here.

I read a scientific study where it was argued that a person experiences the strongest emotions when he has almost achieved a result. In gambling, such situations are quite common - the fall of two 7s when three are needed, etc. Human biology forces him to overexert himself and continue hunting when the prey is almost caught - the same happens in gambling. That is why many gamblers cannot stop in time. Only after this do the emotions associated with winning have a meaning.

It's been proven that gambling positive accomplishments trigger the very same areas of the brain that get fired when we are happy for something. On the opposite side, when losing those bad events trigger the worst anxious and depressed responses. Given that, be careful when you gamble beyond your limits since you can get lost.

This statement is correct, once we get out of our limit, that's when the problem will start. Being emotional in gambling will only put ourselves at high risk, it's understandable that we want to win more if we are lucky, however, it's impossible that luck will always be in our side all the time, so how would we react if time will come that we lose and we gamble beyond our limit, I think this one is the hardest part to handle.

[Silberman]

I was insisted by different people several times. Gambling isn't meant to make money. It is pure business, have fun and never be a victim of it. Now I'm a victim of it. In my village when people play cards I used to advice them, none know I'm into gambling. What they play for is not more than $5, and now I find guilty of being worse than them.

What I've lost is big. Last one month have made a big change in my life. I don't know how things gonna change and myself gonna manage. I would like to brief the last 31 days of my life and gambling. Someone could read and won't get into risk of life.

I have debt of $35000. Myself saved $2500 in BTC on an exchange with the plan of trading. My mind wavered it takes time to make money out of trading. Myself deposited into a gambling platform. Started to gamble. Within few minutes it all got emptied. Then on my mind didn't work, everytime it thinks of the lost money and the way to recover it. Borrowed another $2000 from my friend and this too got washed out.

Further went for another borrow. This time it was $1000, and made it grow little by little and reached $4500. The greed making $1000 more caused me empty my wallet once again. Further went for a loan, this time it is very big. Bought Bitcoin for about $9500 and started to gamble. This went to $14000. By then my mind remembered of the $35000 debt. So, continued with big rolls and the end result is a empty wallet. Finally within the 31 days what I've made is nothing, but raised my debt from $35000 to $47500 and has lost my savings of $2500. After all even thought of ending my life(now that's not in me). Never do the same as me. Now I've promised myself to take a break from gambling.

Mostly this thread gets deleted or locked. Every user read it, and try to be responsible and stay happy with what you have. Try your luck with the excess funds and never have gambling as a way of earning.

Important Note : If you're jobless don't get into gambling, I'm an example. I don't have a job, and that's the reason I wasn't able to keep me deviated from gambling. Hope this helps someone.

Thank You

This is raw, but never think of ending your life, that is not going to solve anything and your loved ones are going to be terribly sad for what happened, I am not going to lie you have a difficult road ahead of you and you will have to make huge efforts to not make more mistakes like this and to pay the debts you owe, the first thing to do is to get a job, any job, this will not only give you some income but it will help your mind to not think of gambling or anything else that will be so damaging for you at the moment.

Its a basic thing but people do failed up to control or suppress that kind of emotion behind.There's no exception because each one of us does really have this kind of inner emotion

and when the time its been mixed up with greed then that's where problem begins.Dont go past into your limitations and you should be fine but gambling is something that hard to resist

specially if you do aim to make money and when you do lost then your primary aim is to chase back those loses and win it back or trying to break even which is the most common
mistake on where we do commit on.

You have to force yourself to follow the rules, otherwise you will definitely lose your money. I know it it hard in the first place to be disciplined and stop whenever your wallet is out of cash, but a few mistake can change your perspective. No one wants to lose a huge amount of money right?

However, if things do not improve, quitting gambling is the only way. Why not just find some other ways for entertainning

You should stop when you do found out these kind of behavior on towards self;

1. Impulsive
2. Doesnt mind about finances
3. Play that there's like no tomorrow
4. Dont know on when to stop neither on profits or in losses

If you do have a problem towards these things then for sure you would really be having a hard time in dealing with gambling specially if you
hooked up yourself in addiction.

Worse thing that you can do to your life, because if you don't have a job to sustain your gambling, you will likely end up getting a loan borrowing from relatives and friends or get into bad activities like robbing, it's ok to gamble if you have a job to sustain your gambling and you can control your money and how you gamble, you only have two choices be a responsible gambler or become a miserable gambler.

That's the psychological advantage if you knew the trick that you shouldn't let your emotions get in the way when you gamble, not just in gambling but even on trading and other way to earn money that has risks. It's always good to have nice bankroll management.

Good bankroll will make you treat gambling seriously, and when you treat it seriously, you'll learn how to do the right bankroll management. Losing and winning is your everyday experience, but being disciplined and being able to impose your strategy effectively, should help you win or minimize your losses if you are not successful.

Yeah, I never though that way; I always add little money to my gambling bankroll which may be the reason why I am just gambling carelessly. I got into the practice of gambling with small bets because people always do say to risk only the affordable money which impacted me up to the level of not caring my gambling seriously. Yes, I do gamble like to find whether luck is on my side or not and definitely not in the way of maximizing the chances of my luck favoring me.

There are different dimensions in gambling; people gamble with the small money and lose it and accept it and more on whereas some people consider gambling like a serious moneymaking opportunity so they had big money to bankroll and playing with well tested strategy and making good money in the end.

[pawanjain]

That could have happened with the best of us. Gambling is such a thing where even the best gambler can lose all his money.
In your case though, it was your mindset of earning money through a shortcut that drove you down.
If you had the ability to patiently wait then you could have simply invested/traded and got some decent profits.
A gambler should definitely have control over his emotions and greed to overcome the disadvantages of gambling.

[fullhdpixel]

Then what is the point of referring as best gambler? I mean there cannot be any room to call anyone as best gambler nor professional gamblers; all are same on most of gambling and some exceptions are possible with skills based gambling.

A gambler should definitely have control over his emotions and greed to overcome the disadvantages of gambling.

Again I don't think having control over your emotions will be enough to tackle the disadvantages of gambling. Because, there are thousands of disadvantages we can find with gambling and you cannot find any shortcut for managing them easily. Gambling is all about uncertainty; just accept it and enjoy the gambling because we do not have any other go .

[agustina2]

A gambler should definitely have control over his emotions and greed to overcome the disadvantages of gambling.

Hard to control it in most cases as emotion is a natural behavior.

When you win, your emotions tell you to gamble more.
When you lose, your emotions tell you to gamble more to chase a loss.

The best way would be, after this loss, be responsible enough to accept the defeat. It's ok to feel saddened nor regrettable but moving on should always be followed.

It is easy to say but the others really just can't. They cannot overcome their greed because they're hooked up and the reason of it varies from each gambler.

So true. You barely control your emotions if you keep on winning and also when you're losing a lot. There's this crave that you cannot control which won't help you to manage yourself anymore.

It's the trouble of people who have trouble in gambling, but in reality, there are only few who have a gambling addiction compared to people who enjoy gambling and consider it as entertainment, that's why it's so important to be responsible while having fun, never dream of making gambling as a source of income if you don't have the capacity.

If you have this kind of feeling in gambling, then you are putting yourself at high risk, this usually happens to people who don't have enough funds to gamble or those who really can't afford but they foce to gamble and their goal is very unreasonable.
