little knowledge about gambling - before I knowing bitcointalk.org forum

Nice advice! We think here is nothing bad in gambling in case of achieving recreative goals. But once it starts to be the obsession - nothing good could take place.

It's actually good when you're hitting achievements and goals as you gamble. But if it's not then you should just do it as a means of casual gambling and whether you hit or miss it, you shouldn't be emotional with it.

And if you win from the games, especially win much money, do not forget to stop the games and withdraw the money and not continue playing gambling because that can make you lose that money. We already have seen many examples from those who can win money but are still playing gambling and suddenly, their greed becomes bigger and they lose all of that money quickly. It is why we need to manage our emotions and greed and not let it bigger.

That's how it feels when you gamble, if you win, there's money. It's easy to remind everyone to get their profits and stop but, I don't think that everyone is going to listen to that anymore if they've been enjoying and raking money from the games they play with.
Those have lost that much profit instead of taking care of it when they can, they're the ones that have learned that mistake the hard way and they don't want to let it happen again and that's making them wiser.

Personally, gambling is something that I cannot tolerate with. I tried gambling but most of the results were not in my favor. That is why, I really see it as a form of entertainment where it is relatively difficult to win money (at least in my case).

I was like this before, I lose than often and the net gain are losses.

What may likely be causing this is because you see gambling as a way of making money or making profit, but it should not be seen that way, the reason some people later got addicted or lost a lot of money to gambling.

I disagree.

Whatever your mindset in gambling, you'll lose your money because that's how gambling works, even if you treat is as an entertainment---you will eventually lose your money. Gambling will become an addiction no matter what is entirely depends on a person, because addiction means you're enjoying it, it could be either a bad addiction or a good addiction. You cannot dictate someone that they shouldn't see it that "way", we play gambling for our own reason, and play with different kind of risks.

Well, you are right that we have heard about it but number 1 won't work with gambling addicts. They will know when to stop but they can't prevent the urge to gamble so it won't work unless he/she have help or support from friends to stop the urge to gamble. Better change the mindset to having fun using your own budget for gambling ony instead of focusing on pocketing huge amount of money. After all, most gambling are based on luck.

If they have a strong will, they can manage to control themselves.

It always end up with that idea if they really want to stop, they'll control themselves and let their will live on it because that's what they want to happen.

But if they can't just stop themselves, that's going to trigger them to gamble more and despite they want to stop, they can't because their will isn't strong enough.

Yes, it is. I feel that too, when I remind my friend to stop for a while after getting to win. He says that the passion for continuing gambling is still there and he should try once or twice more to see his luck. But suddenly, he lost and I still reminded him to stop and this time, he followed my suggestion. We always remind each other to stop gambling, no matter the result.

But I already have experienced losing almost half of my winning a few years ago because of continuing the games, which feels pain. So from that experience, I will always be careful to gamble and not break my limit.

Strong will comes from experience if you lose a lot in the past and comes to a point where you lose a huge amount of money that you suffer bankruptcy and you promise yourself that this will not happen to you again in gambling then you can develop a strong will, it takes unforgettable experience for you to have control of your will and mind.

You are right, because first of all the addicted gambler himself must want to stop gambling to overcome his addiction. No friends, family or therapists can cure an addiction if the individual on the center of the issue is reluctant in doing so. Third parties' help is useful as a support and as an incentive to encourage the addicted gambler during the hard times, when he may think about giving up his fight for sobriety. However, the battle is always fought by the addicted person, so the biggest part of the effort must come from him. He must be confident and resilient until the end.

It's a mix of everything based from your experience.

There's a lot of reason why you're going to be a strong willed person to overcome that emotion of yours. As in, you can control it and even if you're having a bad day.

It won't trigger you to gamble just because you're losing a lot. You're still in control of the situation and that's what it means of being a good gambler and you're not easily going to be eaten by your emotion.

Some people just have addictive prone personalities, now if someone realizes this about themselves then they need to be incredibility careful as they could get addicted to all kind of negative behaviors and substances and ruin their lives that way, unfortunately the majority that suffer from a personality like that do not realize this and as such they take no precautions at all and end up getting addicted to something, which is a shame as they could have avoided that fate by just being more aware of their strong and weak points.

If they do just simply picture out their lives on bigger scale whenever they do lost up big money or had really compromised out their savings then they would be fully aware and no one really likes

for it to happen and thats why we do have the will on what are the things we should gonna do but if you do tolerate out that greediness inside you then you would surely be fucked up.

Dont do things if you dont know on whats gonna happen in terms of finances.Play on the amount which you can afford to lose and dont go beyond that limit.

Sad true, people who have this kind of problem doesn't realize things like this until they already suffer, too late as they can't adjust anymore and they really needed someone to help them out to cure themselves, though it's more on self cure but the help of professionals and loves do have big influenced to assist and help to move away from this kind of addictions.

Negative behaviors like this are one of the many addictive problems.

Not just you, but everyone that surrounds you are also affected by your problem..

So what is your point? Do not gamble at all because it is unprofitable? But when you go to an expensive restaurant and eat a steak, it is also unprofitable. Or going to the movies. All entertainment costs money and there is nothing wrong with gambling either. Problems start when entertainment turns into addiction, but this applies to food as well as everything else, not just gambling.

All of that can be done if you are knowledgeable on the risk and reward and you have the discipline.

Setting limits is always necessary as when you are gambling you are taking risks although you are having fun.
We should always remember that so we will stay realistic knowing that a chance of losing is also possible aside from winning.

A responsible gambler would enjoy what he is doing even if he is not a winner, besides, most of us are looking to entertain in gambling, and if we should easily accept even if we lose.
