Be a Responsible Gambler

[Betwrong]

Pay the bills on paycheck day might be the best advice there as it applies to everything in terms of budgeting its always easy to feel rich at some times of the month and barely able to exist just before payday, its a routine complaint not just about gambling really but any leisure activity.   Reminds me of a friend from work I had years ago, would always spend his entire wage on a weekend for beer but he made sure to give his mom a small amount for meals for the rest of the week so he didn't starve apart from that he had to walk everywhere as his pockets were literally always empty for all but 2 days every week.

Yeah, setting aside some amount on your payday is a good idea. Not only for paying bills but also to have something to live on until the next paycheck. Thus, even if you lose everything in the first day it won't kill you, and you won't be borrowing money "to win it back" or attempting something as horrible.

If you can't control yourself during the process of gambling, you should eliminate the possibility of losing more than you can afford to lose.

Professional gamblers are very strict when it comes to this, they keep the money they need for their needs and wants in one account and the money they need to gamble in another account and they never mix each other, after all it is just as bad to get money from your gambling account for your needs, as this means that you put too much priority on it and did not had enough money to pay for the products and services that you need as it is to take money from your account holding your funds for your needs so you can gamble with it.

Hm, interesting thought. I think at least some people would argue with that. I mean, we all know that refilling your gambling account, after losing everything there, from your main account is never a good idea, but I've never heard any objections about doing it vice versa. I personally think that there's nothing wrong in spending the money allocated for gambling on your other needs, when necessary. That's what a responsible gambler would do, imo.

Requesting signature participants to contribute posts in gambling is to bring them or who reads through, into gambling starting from discussing on it. A base platform is created here by concern gambling site by providing initial free packages to start with. So better refrain on just discussing rather than falling into it completely. Unless and until you are experienced or wealth enough to play, do not push yourselves into gambling.

No. Signature campaign participants who are required to post on gambling boards isn't done because the casino/promoter wants them also to play on the site. I know people that are on signature camps that requires gambling posts but aren't really into gambling. It's fine, their job is just post constructively.

The main reason is that they want to have a decent discussion about gambling, and if it's a constructive post, it will pique people's interest in that post, as well as the campaign. That is why most signature efforts involving gambling platforms need them to participate in gambling.

You can engage in the conversation whether you are a gambler or not, as long as you contribute with good and rational responses regarding gambling, because some of them based their views and opinions on other individuals such as relatives and friends. The rules are in the op; they shouldn't if they can't, simple as that; however, if they can handle gambling-related topics, they should.

The reason I am against that is because the accounts need to be completely separated no matter what, while it may seem innocuous to send money from your gambling account to the account that you use for your everyday needs, and in fact it is, this could reduce your misgivings about doing the opposite which could eventually get you in trouble, so in an effort to avoid that scenario from ever taking place I am very strict about this self-imposed limitation, but I can see why others may believe it is not a big deal.

I think it largely depends on what kind of gambling someone is doing. If this is sports betting it should not be a problem if it is the same account (unless it is live betting).
If someone likes playing in a casino, playing from an account where I have funds for daily needs is certainly very risky.
Of course, it also depends on whether someone has gambling problems and can not control themselves and while losing can not accept the loss and he play until he lose everything. Then splitting accounts is absolutely essential.

I have tried gambling and have concluded it's not good for me.Some persons are lucky,while some are not.I am one of the unlucky gamblers,and quiting, is the only option I have if I want to be anything in life.I believe thats the way I can be responsible.I have learnt it through the hard way.We fail to realise that there are some people that seems destined not to gamble,so if you engage in gambling,you are just being a cheerful giver.

I agree with you, they are many people who are always less lucky, with it comes to winning in gambling, they always lose huge amount of money on gambling. Which results to depression and stress.in a situation like this. One question you must ask yourself is, why do you gamble? Do you gamble for fun or to make more money? Because, If you gamble for fun, and lose, it won't affect you that much. Although, i don't think quitting makes one a responsible gambler, because when you quite gambling, you are no more a gambler.

This is me!

Main reason on why i turned my back in gambling because i have lost that much even though i do have in mind that i do play for entertainment or fun but it turns out that

im losing 90% most of the time which i did really realize that gambling isnt for me and from that time, i never intent to touch gambling but several occasions where

you cant really resist temptations but at least you do know on what you are doing or in regarding about your limitations.

All people are so different that it is generally impossible to understand exactly how responsible you are.  For example, you consider yourself responsible, and your friend thinks that you are a reckless bastard.  And who is right without a third you will not figure it out.  But, if you can stop in front of almost any, even the most tempting and alluring bet, then probably with a certain degree of confidence you can rank you among the responsible players.  And, of course, this must be confirmed by the rule that you should not go beyond the funds set aside for the game.  Never.

If you are not a gambler then of course if you do not gamble, you do not fall into the category of a responsible gambler. Because responsible gamblers are active gamblers but have great discipline in every bet they make, then these players fall into the category of responsible gamblers. But about me personally, if I only lose a few at the beginning, I feel it's not the time to stop because the experiment at the beginning is at least reasonable to win or lose. But if we have been losing for days then of course, a losing streak like that would not be good to continue and as much as possible we should be able to take a break or even stop.

Then you are no longer a gambler because you cannot gamble responsibly.
If you were to set your strategy and budget it would be responsible.
Responsibility related to gambling is setting a budget as you determine how much in a given month you can spend on other pleasures. Some people like motorcycles, others collect stamps and others like painball or parachute jumping. If you approach gambling same like spending on other pleasures and set a budget that can be spent on gambling, then I believe that gambling is responsible.

Sports betting is still gambling, and I don't see how it can be not dangerous to bet from your main account. If you mean it can less dangerous because of the possibility of cashing out ... well, it's only a theoretical possibility. Who does that in real life? I'd rather agree with @Silberman : those should be absolutely separate accounts.

Indeed lol, Though it is less risky in Sportsbetting that those Luck base gambling yet this is risky as consider to be a gambling .
everything that we are making a Bets are considered as gambling either Money or anything that valuable to us.
and besides this is gambling section so consider that majority of post here are gambling related and nothing more.

an interesting fact that I realized:

One day I decided to search youtube about sports betting courses, so I came across many youtube channels that gave sports betting courses, after watching several videos of them I started to wonder:

why those guys who take sports betting courses are not rich?

so I understood that they made money with courses and with the youtube channel, they didn't make much money with sports betting

by that I mean the following:

don't look at gambling as a source of income, look at gambling as fun, place bets with the sole purpose of having fun

The feeling can't still be removed even if you gamble for fun. You'll feel bad with the money that you've used as your bankroll as you gamble. Acceptance is hard when there's money involved with your lost and that's why there are gamblers that undeniably admitting that its hard to accept their losses because of the amount of money that was gambled. And for the gamblers that do aim not for fun and for the money, I think they really are the ones that behaves as responsible because they are aware of the risk.

It is true that most gamblers want to be responsible but it is also true that most gamblers lose more money than win. As it is an action based on destiny, we can’t say the result. It can be one’s favor or not. The gamblers become crazy about winning money for their luxuries. So they become desperate. As a result, when the battle is started, they only think about money. They don’t have any mentality to understand the situation. So, most of the time, they lose because of becoming over-excited. When the gamblers win a game, they feel like the master of this game. So they invest more money than before with the desire of winning again and again. They don’t think about the effect of this game as they become fully blind about the reality.

They say experience is the best teacher and another best teacher is learning from other people’s mistake. Thank you for sharing your story. I have been able to pick up a very important lesson from this. It is easier to pick up bad habits and get hooked when one is idle. Get busy. Surround yourself with people you’d like to become like in the future and observe them. It’ will keep you off the self-destructive habits. Thank you once again for sharing.

But the one that will likely make an impact is your own experience, you can learn from other people's mistakes but so much depends on your relationship with people where you are looking with his mistake if it's one of your close relatives or friends it will also have a deep impact because you are sharing the same emotion with what happened.
If we look at other people's experienced we have this mindset that it will not happen to you because you are different until it's too late to find out that it can happen to you.

  Yes it's good to be a responsible Gambler it's doesn't mean we can make money in gambling we will make gambling as job, day and night they are always in there. There's a little budget for our gambling but first of all let's budget the essential we need like foods, need for the kids in school and  bill for the house this would be the best behavior of responsible gambler.

in my opinion, being a responsible gambler is to limit the amount of money we use in gambling and of course that money must have another account separate from the main account that we use for our family, and of course the best thing we do is treat the gambling money as a purchase , so that we can have fun by gambling and give us the opportunity to make money, and one more thing, we should not think of gambling as an investment in our life.
With a separate account between the money for gambling and the account for the family, of course we can continue to gamble without fear of destroying our family's life.

Sometimes, people get curious and they will never learn from other's experiences and mistakes unless they experience them themselves expecting that they could make a different path. We should really have a complete understanding of the risks of gambling so we'll know how to control ourselves from betting or gambling too much. There's always a limit to everything and abusing gambling could ruin our lives later on.

Because the one to blame is yourself, because when your life has been ruined because of gambling at least if you want to blame then it is your own fault and not someone else's and not gambling itself. Maybe this will be the difference when you are just betting for fun with money that is ready to be lost, but when you have made gambling a source of income then responsibility will become something you have to be aware of.
