Be a Responsible Gambler

[Betwrong]

You can actually be a Responsible Bettors rather than Responsible Gamblers because gambling is associated with Taking Big Risk.
It's actually irresponsible to take big risk, so that two combinations cannot be used to heal or help people who are learning to be responsible Bettors . They will most likely come across people associating gambling to immoral activity, how do you expect them to handle that?

We need to be really careful with words/information we feed on. They can harm or heal us

 

We must be careful with words, that's true, but there's nothing wrong with the word gambler. Gambling is not about taking big risks, it's about taking any risks. Take sports betting, for instance, which I assume you'd call "betting". Even betting on a team that will most likely win is still gambling because you are risking your money, and you can't be sure about the outcome.

It's possible that in some cultures "gambling" is a bad word, and then we should avoid using it in those countries, replacing it with "betting", as you suggested, or another synonym, like "wagering" or "staking", but it's not universal.

A responsible gambler  must understand what gambling is all about, and take a lot of hard work, dedication and the ability to deal with risk involve gambling  and some failure to make it as a professional gambler.Even after all of that, a good gambler  must set  a skill that we make he/her decision to keep trying through. Therefore haven been a responsible gambler you must see gambling as entertainment for leisure purpose or get together with friend, and also treat money lose as a cost of entertainment.A responsible gambler must take a decision on dollar limit, time limit and stick to it.and it must be person who have creat a balance in life, and don't use as a way to cope with stress or loneliness.

My rule of thumb: Think about your strategy every 2 minutes when you play, you will be reducing your risk but you will also have to play smart.

Again, making mistakes is human, it's what we do that makes us. By limiting your mistakes, you will increase your odds of winning, this means that you have to play a sound game with realistic probabilities that make sense. Be honest with yourself about your game knowledge and play every single hand with the knowledge that you have of the game.

In this matter, I think every gambler should have only one choice, which is to be responsible to him/herself. If someone wants to play gambling in a better way, he/she must have good self-control. I can understand if it is not an easy thing to do, but ignore it will be a disaster for you. All gamblers are better to always try finding a way to have good self-control. Learn it constantly and keep a positive mind that you can do it at the end!!

That, or just be insanely rich. So rich that any consequences of your gambling sessions are seen as just a mere drop on the ocean-like riches that you have. It's like all irresponsible gamblers think of themselves as rich kids that can just get more money somewhere to keep playing, to get rich. Joking aside, one thing you can do to actually become responsible without really thinking about becoming one is to stop playing to earn. Start playing to enjoy. That way at least, you wouldn't mind the losses or wins and would just play to play.

This is not an option and the reason for this is simple, there is no amount of money that is infinite and it does not matter if you are rich if your expenses are way higher than your income then sooner or later you will go bankrupt, this is something we see a lot with lottery winners, they have millions and millions of dollars and a great deal of them declare themselves on bankruptcy after a few years, what happened is they spend all their money since they did not knew what was necessary to earn it on the first place and the same will happen on the scenario you bring as well.

It's hard to say that you can easily be successful in gambling.

And talking like it's truly an easy thing then we're going to see a lot of people making money and becoming successful in gambling instead of those who are sharing that they're losing more than winning.

This is common man's mind, because he see it with full of positivity. Myself have thought of it many times, because of the early wins which went unused due to lack of proper money management.

Even now my mind has a thought we can take back the losses easily, but the reality is different. The mind has getting adoptive to it on the positive note. This too is a big reason to suffer from addiction. Things will change when we change the thinking about gambling.

That's not common IMHO.

If somebody thinks of success in gambling is easy, he probably have taken a lot of success and it's just a cycle to him that he's always winning huge amount of prizes and money.

But it's really different and that's what I'm saying.

[kawetsriyanto]

Dont expect and Dont hope too much that you would become rich with gambling because having these kind of motives in mind will
really just mold you into an addicted person this is why having self control and self awareness on how gambling works should really be realized.

Indeed. If you have good self-control and awareness, you won't hope too much in gambling, never think to be rich overnight by gambling. With good self-control, you must limit your funds and time for gambling, so you don't rely on gambling and can think normally once you gamble. Of course, this also can help you to avoid addiction. If many gamblers can do it, we may decrease the number of addiction cases. Even if it cannot be very significant, but I am sure it will be effective to lower the addiction cases gradually.

You can use that strategy 2 minutes, but you should limit how long the total hours you playing gambling. Otherwise, you will use a long time gambling, making you feel that playing gambling is exciting once you feel that, you can forget about limiting your time and money. The result will be losing your money because many people already get that experience. Being honest is a hard thing that we can do but that is worth doing.

Without certain limitations you'll find yourself regretting, thinking that if only you stop
when you still have that small earnings is far better than losing an entire bankroll.

It's all on you and how will you manage working with your time and your money, if you are
good in dealing with that the chance is good for you to avoid making big mistakes and lose more money.

Keep the balance and work wisely with your money.

I prefer to use some money to limit the amount and then decide how long I will play. When we can do that and always manage the money that we use in every bet, I think we can stick to our plan and limit losing money.

I agree that keeping the balance and gamble wisely with your money will be the key to enjoying gambling games and preventing the loss of money.

The easiest way to achieve this is by keeping detailed records of how much money you are spending, I know this may seem boring, and it is, but it is something that it has to be done, not only this will help you keep your gambling expenses under control but all your expenses as well, and soon enough you will surprise yourself about all the money you spend and that you were not even aware before where that money went, this can help you to reduce your expenses and eventually save more and invest in bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency that you may like.

It could be a solution for you knowing how much money you are spending, but I doubt that many gamblers will do that as it will not be easy to do. We need to have the discipline to make detailed records on that thing and sometimes, we can forget to write a new record for that day. The thing that can make us forget can be if we win a lot of money, we will celebrate with others, making us forget. But with that records, I am sure we will surprise and even shock knowing the money that we already spent on gambling, and if we can still think, we may think that it is time for us to limit or even stop playing gambling. That is only if we can think more about spending our time and money on gambling.

Thats true, but the problem for greedy gamblers are they dont think too much about the consequences if they let themselves uncontrolled.
We know if you're happen to be lucky, earning huge is possible but unfortunately its not usually the case. I bet many of us cant count their losses compared to the times they win and thats the reality.

Hence before trying to gamble, know your limitation and have self discipline. Gambling is entertaining and addicting especially if you experience how to win but its not a reason to lose yourself if you know your priorities and has set a limit on when to stop.

I never quite liked the hypocrisy behind so-called responsible gambling.
My reaction's always the same: first the state makes me an intriguing advertisement promising me staggering winnings, luxury vacations and the possibility of a nabob life and then you tell me to play responsibly? But what does it mean to play responsibly? And above all, is it really possible to do so?
Playing responsibly to me now means to consider the money played already lost. It helps a lot.

It does seem boring, as you said it yourself. However, people are different and what's boring for some can be fun for others. If keeping the detailed records is what makes your gambling experience more entertaining, go ahead and do it then, but overall, if you can't say how much you lost to gambling, say, in the last moth, it means you haven't lost something significant, and therefore you are fine.

If you have experienced the worst thing in gambling until you end up doing something negative and/or criminal, then that's when you become an irresponsible gambler. Because for me, when a gambler still has good awareness and control then it is a responsible gambler. This case is not only about the money spent in gambling, but about the impact of the actions you take and when you can keep them well then of course, you are still a responsible gambler.

Responsible gambling is, in my opinion, the willingness to accept a loss. 

Gambling is not a business.  Gambling is just entertainment.  These are feelings of drive and excitement.  These are very valuable emotions in the modern technological world.  If you see online casino gaming as a way to make money, then you are in big trouble.  Gambling is a business for their organizers. 

For the players, these are costs.  The goal is to get positive emotions.

If you know the name John Juanda, then you will know he is a poker professional from my country. He is famous for Winning IDR 28 Billion, His Money for Free Medical, this is reports in my local media, adan  he became a World Poker Icon in 2014. He is a World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion for 5 years in a row. Whether this championship belongs to sports or gambling I don't know for sure. But I think poker is part of gambling.
But I don't really understand the rules of poker in the world of gambling but maybe there are similarities.

But even you say many times that it's not a business, there are gamblers that have already considered it as their main business and source of income.

They've understood the circles of it and they can take risks that we can't.

Case to case basis, you are saying one thing and the post above you is also pointing something. Both of you have good point to consider, if you see gambling as opportunity for quick access to earn money, then for sure you are in trouble in the long run. Unless you have that skills and talent where advantages are at your side.

But if you don't have that skills better to look to this venue as source of entertainment and not to focus and use it for source of income, it will limits the possible losses if you have good mindsets and control with your capital.

Often times, negative experiences change us (make us smarter at best). Of course, it's good if a person understands the theory and never makes mistakes himself, but it seems to me that this rarely happens. But if a person made mistakes and corrected himself, then I am ready to consider him responsible.
