Be a Responsible Gambler

.. but don't try to earn money through gambling.

Don't tell that to those experienced gamblers who have made a fixed income thru gambling.

That's why there are professional gamblers. These people know how to manage their bankroll properly, plus their good gambling skills, that's why even the difficult part, which is turning their gambling activity into revenue, they made it possible.

For us casual gamblers, we can't be like that so that's where the part of only gamble the amount afford to lose should be applied.

I have to agree with that as I'm one of the believers that there are people who really make money in gambling consistently, there's a professional gambler and they called themselves professional for a reason. The reality is sad because majority of the gamblers loses, but it's not impossible to make money in gambling if you have the skills in doing it, so that's where the statement is coming that one could make money in gambling.

Only those who can afford to gamble their money all the time are the one who are making money here, but if you think gambling can be your main source of income especially if you are living as a middle class, then you might be putting yourself on a big risk because losing money is gambling is very normal as always. Be a responsible gambling all the time, know the pros and cons before you play and if you do have extra money, make sure to gamble the right way.

Ofcourse there are people who benefit from gambling,but to take gambling as a hubby is not ideal.Keeping some money that you want to waste or  give away is the one appropriate to use in gambling.

Ofcourse there are people who benefit from gambling,but to take gambling as a hubby is not ideal.Keeping some money that you want to waste or  give away is the one appropriate to use in gambling.

I want to correct you, I think you're wrong. Gambling should take as a hobby not a serious matter to gain profit since gambling is an entertainment and should be as a hobby. Well they waste money to fulfill their needs which is by playing gambling (Entertainment) well what you are saying is also good but of course people will not going to follow it.

No one is wrong here, we can treat gambling the way we want, it could also be a source of income as we can't deny there are gamblers who really made a fortune in gambling, but we should be honest with ourselves, we have to understand that in order to achieve that kind of success, we need to have the skills. Gambling is entertainment for most, but for some people it's a serious business.

How many of these gamblers do you know? I'm sure if you know someone it's someone who wrote a book or blogged on YouTube or sells "working" strategies, right? If there is some kind of working strategy, then you need to keep silent about it, otherwise it will quickly stop working. I'm not sure about the honesty of those people who brag about their successes.

Success can't be bragged about, and if it's shouted off by the gambler who succeeded, then he doesn't succeed at all and only claiming it to gain fame. There is no gambler in this world who can turn gambling into a revenue except those who were lucky enough to win lotteries/ jackpots or at least won a hefty life changing amount through gambling then they stop doing it. If a gambler remains addicted, there are always those chances of losing the money. No gambler can always book profits (even with losses).

I will admit that I enjoy keeping records of my financial transactions so I have a very clear idea of where every single cent went, I know this is probably something that not many people will enjoy but as I said it has its uses, also while what you say about people not remembering how much money they have lost in gambling being a sign that you have not lost so much money is true, there are cases in which the opposite is true, like those that are addicted and cannot tell you how much they have lost over the years because they have lost so much money they have lost track of that amount.

Keeping a record for all your gambling transactions does not mean anything if you are an addict, you will be having all the immaculate record about the loss and the amount of money spent whenever you gamble and if you are not making any decision changes then there is no point in having these records, the fact still remains that you cannot be a responsible gambler if you are addicted and it will be too late to admit the addiction.

In that case, that ain't make sense...you will just forget it.
If we are in the stage of addition, that means that we are not responsible gamblers anymore. Addiction makes it hard for us to think about what is right and what is wrong, we are mentally unhealthy, all thing is our mind is to keep gambling without minding how much we lose.
If they will not help themselves to change their mind and stop addiction, that gonna last forever.

Why gambling addiction can be a serious problem, because as you explained, people who are addicted to gambling are no longer able to distinguish
right from wrong. What was on his mind was constantly playing gambling as much as possible, even to the point of experiencing financial problems.
This means that it is very important for those of us who like to play gambling to be wiser when playing gambling. Don't let emotions take over us.
One way to become a responsible gambler is to be able to control emotions when playing gambling.

It is undeniable that there are some people that are able to become profitable gamblers, however if we compare the numbers of those that actually achieved that goal against those that tried and failed we will see that the vast majority belongs to the latter group, this is why people recommend people to not try to reach that goal as most likely this will cause you massive losses, but if you are one of those that a are able to get those kind of results then there is nothing wrong with you thinking of gambling as your profession and to not think of it as a hobby, which is what the majority of gamblers should do.

When a gambler gets in trouble through accepting the fact that he's already addicted, he cannot distinguish himself anymore and that's hard to accept on his own. And serious problems will result with that hard fact on the like having financial troubles.

This means that it is very important for those of us who like to play gambling to be wiser when playing gambling. Don't let emotions take over us.

Controlling emotion is what we usually see as an advise but to them, those that are addicted, they can't do it easy.

Keeping the records will be truly entertaining, but if there isn't big win then it'll be a big disappointment. Therefore it won't be enjoyable, gamblers look for the ways to recover the losses and maintain the statistics with profit. These days loss of $100 has turned to be an easy thing, but someone it is a month's wage.

I doubt that many gamblers will keep the records, especially if they playing gambling because of fun. If they want to recover the losses by watching the records, they will need longer and more money to recover and they don't know how long the time to recover it. If they can see how much money they already lost in gambling, they should think about how to use that money for other things instead of playing gambling. That will be useful for them because they do not lose that money at the gambling table.

Gambling is not a regular job where you can calculate the time needed for earning this or that amount. Chances are you are going to lose even more with time in gambling instead of recovering any losses. That's why if you like to gamble, because it's entertaining and relaxing for you, earn money some other way, and spend on gambling what you can afford, but don't try to earn money through gambling.

Some gamblers are trying to use gambling as a job, and they tend to play gambling to make money. Yes, we can lose more money, and that chance is bigger if we can't control ourselves. But if they still play gambling because they want to recover their losses, that will not work for them as the losses will fall behind them. If we like to gamble, we need to treat gambling carefully and always control ourselves and enjoy the game without having a passion for winning bigger money. And if we can win that small or big money, that will be our bonus and don't try to chase a bigger winning.

Some gamblers are trying to use gambling as a job, and they tend to play gambling to make money.

Experienced  gamblers  tend doing  this and manage  to make things possible,  with skills and luck  combined  they  are  gaining  decent benefits.

Yes, we can lose more money, and that chance is bigger if we can't control ourselves.

Most of the time,  ordinary gamblers  lose more each time they've  attempt to play for money,  the control over emotion made them suffer  as they  can't manage it correctly.

But if they still play gambling because they want to recover their losses, that will not work for them as the losses will fall behind them.

They can if they  are good in  managing  their money,  can't be done if you don't know  how to limit  yourself,  if you keep pushing  forward  even  your status  is already falling behind  your target.

If we like to gamble, we need to treat gambling carefully and always control ourselves and enjoy the game without having a passion for winning bigger money.

You need to  realize  how  much  risk  you  can take and limit yourself , keep the fun and forget about being  greedy. If you can  do that then  you are good  to go.

And if we can win that small or big money, that will be our bonus and don't try to chase a bigger winning.

Indeed,  being being contented  with your  winnings  is far  better than  losing  your entire bankroll.  🙂

Keeping records of their gambling expenses and profits is more depressing and stressful if they'll do that, so they choose to avoid it or they don't really want to do it because it's just a waste of time or whatever. All they wanted is to win every time they play gambling, however, like most of us knows, most of the time the majority of gamblers are losing.

That's why making it as your job to earn money is never an option, because that's not how gambling works, it's a 30:70 chance of winning, as always.

For me it's not, I keep a record to know if I'm really profitable in gambling or not, that's when I like to make an experiment if it's possible to make money in gambling based on my personal experience. Everyone needs to learn how to record if they are after for consistency or improvement of their skills in gambling, it has to be taken seriously as we are dealing with the risk of losing our money here.

Controlling emotion is what we usually see as an advise but to them, those that are addicted, they can't do it easy.

I have a friend who is addicted to gambling and his life is ruined because of it. So I understand the importance of controlling emotions when
playing gambling, but as you said controlling emotions is not an easy thing to be done by people who are addicted. Because after all, people
who are addicted can no longer think rationally, their emotions are out of control. So it takes the help of others to deal with people who are addicted.

Being addicted means you already have issues that you can't handle anymore, it's a tough battle between yourself there are things that keeps encircling inside your minds and most of the time it's pointing you to keep playing and gamble your money.

Without proper help with someone who are willing to take the responsibilities, and have better knowledge with the  problem it will take a long time to cure.

That personal experienced from your friend will guide you clearly not to fall with the same problem.

But not all gamblers or addicted gamblers is ready to seek help,some were too immature to accept the fact that they are addicts and they need to change if they want to make their lives better. There is a need for the people who surrounds them to understand be patient and to not give up on pursuing their love ones to stop the addiction. It's hard but somehow if that person really want to change they'll be able to do it.

The only people who could people anyone when they are addicted are family and close friends because every addict things that he is having control over the things he is addicted to, be it drugs or alcohol and when it comes to gambling it is still the same even when you loose huge amounts of money.

Even in online gambling space you will see many obsessive gamblers who does not know how to stop unless they loose millions of dollars.
