To build your Professionalism on casino

[chaser15]

It always comes down to one simple rule:

Never bet more than you could afford to lose.

That is subjective. There are no exact figures that we can consider as an amount we afford to lose.

For example, we put a threshold of $500 as an amount we afford to lose. Let's say unfortunate things happened and we lose that amount, surely we will not stop as we think we can still put up another bucks at risk as we know we afford to lose that amount. And the rest is history.

It doesn't matter if a gambler bets more than they afford to lose. Their money is their rule.

However, while they are crossing their limits, make sure that they are still responsible enough for their financial status outside gambling. In that way, everything is balanced and life outside gambling is not truly affected even how hard the gambler is. Professional and experienced gamblers are like that.

Lending money to a friend who is addicted to gambling could only make him fall into gambling addiction more. That will not help him but rather make his situation worse despite your good intention to help him. It will be better to help him rise and recover from his gambling addiction. Let him realize that what he's been doing is wrong. Giving him money is temporary but the life advice would be permanent especially if he will listen.

In fact, when your gambling addict friend asks for a loan, there are no good solutions. In 99.9% of cases, you will either lose a friend, or money, or both. I do not think that the advice can change anything in his situation, since at this stage of addiction, only more radical methods of treatment will be effective. And as you rightly noted, a friend's interest in treatment is also necessary.

When someone is already get addicted then you would really be expecting that your advises and suggestions would be mostly ignored most of the time.Whether he would be solving addiction by himself or would really be

needing some professional help and speaking about professionalism then it would really be just applicable on things which does really need some strategy and knowledge towards things and not applicable into luck based
ones.
Building  yourself to be better in gambling is something not that ideal because it would really be creating that kind of motive which might ending up on being addicted due to too much engagement.

As much as we want to deny it, this is the reality. If ever you have someone that is close to you who has gambling problems, you shouldn't let them borrow money from you or to your other friends just to sustain his gambling habits. Even if they beg you, do not falter because giving in to such request could only just ruin his life even more. Because as we all know, gambling addiction is one of the major problems player fight with. If he already have an issue to begin with, then you shouldn't fuel his thirst to it.

Lending money is risky as well. As a lender, you don't have the assurance of when will the money you lent be paid back to you. Unless of course, you will make legal documents. But some of those who have contracts pay past due too and some even break their contracts, getting away with their debt. So yes, if you let your friend borrow you money, you can either lose money or lose both friend and money. In this part, you have to be firm. You have to stand your ground if money is important to you as well as your friend's well-being.

Even if that friend means a lot to you, I don't agree with your suggestion to better give him money if that money will only go to gambling. Of course it is better to give money to someone who is in need rather than lend him. Lending means you will have him pay you back. That would be difficult. In the first place, the reason why he is borrowing is that he doesn't have money. But this is not going to apply if it's gambling that is the reason for borrowing. I will not support any friend or family member if he is only borrowing money for the sake of gambling.

That's true because if a friend borrows money from us, we can find it difficult to ask him to pay the money, especially if that friend is someone closest to us.
We will instead give up what he has borrowed and have no intention of asking for it back.
It is more like a social feeling that we are helping him by lending money.
But if he is honest that the money is for gambling, then our answer should be no because it does not provide a solution to our friend.
It is better to give the money to people who really need it, such as to buy food for their family, than to lend it to friends who will use the money to play gambling.

If your friend has debts due to gambling problems, then lending him money or giving them is not support, but only indulgence of his desires. If you really want to help a friend, then take the time to explain to him why he was in such a situation and offer help in eliminating the causes of these troubles. Think for yourself, you can give money to a friend all your life, and he will lose it. This is not the way out of the situation.

That's right. Lending money to a friend who will just spend it on gambling is not helping your friend. You are actually pushing him toward a cliff. You are reinforcing his bad habit of borrowing money just for gambling. Instead of helping him address that risky vice, helping him stop that behavior that will probably grow much worse over time, you are actually backing him up.

You don't even owe him an explanation. Just say no and you are already helping him a bit.

Agree with you because it will still become a habit later.
By being in debt due to gambling problems, he will come back to us and say the same thing over and over again.
Fortunately, I have never loaned money to friends because of gambling problems, but I often experience lending the money to buy daily necessities.
Maybe we can give him a solution so he can stop gambling and thus, he can leave gambling forever.

Not only that, While you are being nice to him when you lend him money, it is temporary. When that friend loses in gambling, when he is unable to repay you, he scolds you. He will develop a bitter relationship with you which you will not be able to accept easily. As a result you will lose from two sides. One friendship will be lost and another you will lose money. So never lend money to a friend if that money is used for gambling.

No matter how you look at it, it turns out that in any situation, lending money to a friend who will spend it on gambling is an erroneous and harmful decision. In general, there are different views on such things - some believe that a friend should be helped in any case, and some cynics believe that a friend should be left in trouble, because if this is not done, he will drag you there too ) There is sense in both points of view, but in those cases when help is needed even with the patient's resistance, only relatives have any real opportunities. From the point of view of the law, friends are just strangers.
