Gamble Responsibly

[Outhue]

One thing we should settle with is the fact that self control a lot of aspects of our daily life and one needs to know the right time to apply self-control to avoid losing out, one of the major factors that aid addictions is the inability to users to make up their mind to quit when the going becomes tough.

It will be hard to make up your mind if the game is fun and addicting, there are two types of addiction in gambling, one is on the money making side and the other is one the game you playing, I was addicted to a game on a gambling website because of it's soundtrack, imagine that.

Even if you are using the money you can afford to lose for everyday gambling, if you like the fun part more it will be hard to stop, but yeah the fun part is better and good for your health than losing more money.

It's all on gamblers to pick a side, for me it's always about the experience more than making money, that's why I don't gamble every time, not until I have some money that I am ready to use for gambling because I may lose the money.

In reality in this world wherever we go we encounter losses especially in gambling we can not say that always our by will win cause there's a time that we are unlucky and we will loss our bet. So it's better to have self control and be responsible in gambling. Spending money must be a good budget and it's better to gamble in your existing money it because if you loss you won't feel a very bad thing.

Correct. By having control, we can at least avoid losing a lot and save money to use the money another day. But it turns out that many people still don't do it instead of using more money to gamble, where they only get to lose again. And spending your money one time playing gambling is not recommended unless you have a lot of money you can use to gamble another day. So having control can help us survive and prevent gambling addiction, which can come at any time.

That is really the key to not getting addicted to something; if you can control yourself, then that is good, but if not, then that is a huge problem. People are really learning how to prevent this, but it is difficult for some as we do have a different mentality. That is why others tend to have strategies to prevent those kinds of addictions, like having a budget or having a hobby like sports, as they tend to forget to gamble. As long as people know how to control themselves, they can't get addicted to something.

That's as true as butter in milk. The gambling is a freeway to wins and losses and sometimes we will have to face many losses even if we are doing our best. A gambler is putting everything in search of winning but sometimes the inverse can happen and instead of winning they can face consistent losses.

It's a better practice to have self-control during gambling because if you're loosing a lot then you should stop betting because sometimes the luck isn't in your favor and the losses can be high if you don't stop. The gambling is not for everyone and the ones who have no control over their emotions will lose in this game.

I agree that the gamblers should spend only the money they can afford to lose because if you put everything that you own into gambling then you're doing that to make your life worse. Never every put the money into gambling that's important for your sustaining and if you do so then the consequences will be adverse. 

[Crypt0Gore]

I've sent three months off gambling, because something unexpected happened with my job and I couldn't make extra income that I can use to gamble, I just put a stop ⛔ on gambling and I wasn't hungry for it, this makes me feel happy about myself, because the gambling addiction stories that I have heard about have everything to do with unsatisfactory, addicted gamblers never feels satisfied even when they can't afford to gamble, that is why we see people taking a loan or borrowing money from friends to gamble and the moment they lose the money they may turn to more evil way like stealing or forcefully taking money from strangers.

Can you take a break from gambling? If yes, how do you feel after taking that break? That's when you will know if you are getting addicted to gambling or not, if you feel nothing then you are in good hands.

Keep in mind that most people play casinos for the thrill of the game. Therefore, self-control is often an incompatible concept here, as self-control leads to restraining emotions and reducing adrenaline intake when a tense situation arises. And some people want to lose because they get pleasure from it.

     -   Not all gamblers are as you think, mate, for others, when you say self-control, you are limiting yourself so that if you lose by the amount you only set, you will not exceed the amount you prepared to lose.

Now, when it comes to the matter of emotions, it can be used for right and wrong, for example you lost a large amount of money in gambling and there is your regret and sadness because you did not get what you expected. It is impossible to be happy when you have lost a large amount of money, unless you are a very rich person who simply does not have the money even if you lose a million more.

Chasing losses is never been good and its a common approach or things to be done by someone who do engage with gambling. Once you do have those kind of losses then you would be mainly thinking on how they would able to breakeven and trying to cope up with those losses and thinking on recovering it. If you are a person who doesnt really have much good control on one self then you would likely be ending up on
wrecking up yourself with gambling and you would really be that having a huge problem in terms of finances.

You should really be that responsible in towards your spending. Even if you do say that you are really good on having your limits and sticking into it but you cant really be that so sure because
once emotions and mindset do kick in at the same time on which it turns out for you to be impulsive, then you would definitely be having this kind of common option which is to chase up losses
or play even more on having the hopes on having that kind of recovery which we know that most of us would eventually fail.

You've nailed the real trouble with gambling - the deadly pull of trying to recoup lost bets. This trap is where the gambler tries to win back their losses by doubling down, often landing in even deeper trouble. It's like chucking petrol onto a bonfire. Cognitive biases like the gambler's fallacy and loss aversion often fuel this. Instead of falling into the chase, it's smarter to hit pause and look at your betting habits. By setting strict caps on how much dough and time you drop on bets, and sticking to them, you can stop things from going haywire. Crucially, remember that gambling should mainly be for kicks, not a cash cow. So if you find yourself caught in a gambling whirlwind, reach out for professional help. There are loads of organizations ready to lend a hand to folks wrestling with a gambling problem.

Pulling that trigger that will pushed you from exceeding from your set limitations, thinking that you can still recover if you will try to add more funds or if you'll going to push using your remaining funds, it's a trick inside you where you already lose that control and we can all say that it really happened even we think we already sets our limitation before playing.

It's tough, but it's better to quit right away when you feel that you can't maintain such limits that you setup. It will save you from losing more.

True, however this comes from a prior and even bigger mistake, which is to believe that somehow people can become profitable with gambling, then when the gambler realizes they are not obtaining profits and they are sustaining losses they were not expecting that is when desperation hits them, then they try to recover their money and begin to chase their losses, and once they do that it is almost impossible to make the gambler understand they are committing a huge mistake, and they will only learn this was the case once their capital runs out.

When I was starting to play in casinos and I always lost, I was always looking to recover those losses, it has been the worst of my mistakes, because it is what you should never do, what I learned from this is that the more you seek to recover money, the Well, more is lost, that's that easy, whoever wants to play in a casino must assume what they lose so they can't keep losing more, and if they win it's good because it already becomes another story, I don't think I know about the rest You can handle another criteria, it is one to reset each time you lose, take some time off and not continue looking for those gains again.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Maybe that kind of people you are describing just lose their control by wagering high amounts on a certain amount of time and just rely on the luck they have. It's just that they are being stroked by a good amount of luck and the reason how they win, It's not a technique that can work every time as it is dependent on the luck that we have. Luck is a huge factor in gambling and even though we have full control of ourselves in playing gambling, There are still instances that we still lose from it. It's just amazing how people are winning on crazy bets that they are doing but still win.

I think it is wrong for gamblers to depend 100% on luck for their winning, this is because there can't be a consistent winning mechanism with luck but if one has a good skill to play a certain game, that skill can aid his/her winning compared relying majorly on the luck aspect of it, I have seen some chronic loser who when choosing their bets most especially in sports bets, their always select their games based on random selection and if you ask why they chose that pattern of games selection they simply tell you that it luck that wins bets and not analysis which is very wrong of them.

It depends on the kind of gambling games that people like, in the case of dice there is no amount of analysis or betting patterns that can help you increase your chances of winning, so in that case leaving everything to your luck is not a mistaken decision.

However when someone is playing a gambling game in which their decisions can indeed affect their outcome, as is the case of blackjack, poker or sports bets, then without a doubt it is a mistake to depend only on your luck, as you are giving up the ability to use your skills to your advantage.

You are right in what you say, however, when playing poker or blackjack we have to surrender to luck in the same way because in popker we do not control the cards that will come out to people or us, only the cards that fall to us and with that we must play a great game and not all the hands are good, there are times when the hands are very bad and we have an insured loss, there are few times where we take risks and things work out for us, we would have to against with very good luck or failing that, what we call something random that can favor us and then apply all the strategies that we know of.

Correct. By having control, we can at least avoid losing a lot and save money to use the money another day. But it turns out that many people still don't do it instead of using more money to gamble, where they only get to lose again. And spending your money one time playing gambling is not recommended unless you have a lot of money you can use to gamble another day. So having control can help us survive and prevent gambling addiction, which can come at any time.

That is really the key to not getting addicted to something; if you can control yourself, then that is good, but if not, then that is a huge problem. People are really learning how to prevent this, but it is difficult for some as we do have a different mentality. That is why others tend to have strategies to prevent those kinds of addictions, like having a budget or having a hobby like sports, as they tend to forget to gamble. As long as people know how to control themselves, they can't get addicted to something.

However difficult it is to learn to control themselves, they must keep learning so that when they play gambling, it will not make it difficult to decide to stop. Apart from that, they can also prevent gambling addiction, which has happened to many people so that they can enjoy gambling like other entertainment. And if they can control themselves when gambling, they can't be tempted if they see an offer or promotion given by a casino, especially casinos often send promotional emails to attract the attention of more gamblers. And it's true, self-control can keep them from becoming addicted, in any case, because too much isn't always good.

OP;

Play responsibly, it is a powerful phrase and easy to apply, it is intrinsic in most people, but when people want to reach Everest, not even because they have the statistical knowledge that says that 1 in 4 people die, it prevents them from trying, come on! Despite this, this figure continues to grow, recently there was a tragedy on Everest.

So, keeping distances in the thematic comparison, that tells you that the way of thinking of the people does not change unless they seek help, in the counterpoint, I always recommend that having a bankroll is a priority to play or put money at risk, but in the In recent times such a thing is not necessarily conclusive or prevents falling into bad practices.

The primary solution is to seek professional advice, yes!  pay a specialist to help you even if you don't need it or you put money at risk, professional help on time in betting and in life itself for any situation is essential.

Seek professional help even if you think you are a healthy person, self-assessment is useless in the long run.

When you are increasingly looking for recovering losses, the more money you will lose and that is what happens if a gambler cannot accept defeat and always chases victory.
Not only you, I'm sure most gamblers also do the same thing, including myself, have experienced something like this.
Thinking of losing so that you don't lose again is actually quite good, but I'm not sure gamblers can apply it because nowadays many gamblers have the goal of always getting wins and they forget about the risks of gambling.

That is a mistake that should not be repeated, it is good luck that you have realized it from the start, because if you realize it too late then be prepared for a financial situation that is getting worse. I agree, here you are not the only ones who experience something like this, that's because we haven't realized that chasing defeat is not a wise choice to make. Therefore from the start we should not focus on winning because it will erode our emotions. I don't mean to say that we can't win, because victory is something we definitely really want. But here I want to emphasize that playing with money prepared to lose is much better.

I don't think any reasonable gambler forgets the risk involved with gambling, but the thing is that, the drive for profit is what keeps most gamblers gambling even when there doesn't seem to be any hope of winning.

I've had an experience several times where while gambling and on a losing streak, I am some how compelled to keep gambling because I always feel that the next roll could be my lucky roll, then I keep rolling and rolling and before I know what is happening, I am left with an empty bankroll, this is something I believe have happened to any experienced gambler, and having the consciousness of such incident and avoiding it is one of the ways to cub gambling losses.

This must be one of the mindset of a gambler that do not chase more victory or don't think about that you are always winning because in the world of gambling you cannot assure that you will win in your every bet. because aiming more winnings will lead you more losses it will make you more greedy and make  you out of control once you are out of control even if you don't have the timing of betting then you will be bet much bigger.

Can you take a break from gambling? If yes, how do you feel after taking that break? That's when you will know if you are getting addicted to gambling or not, if you feel nothing then you are in good hands.

That is really good, but if you build a habit like doing gambling every Friday night, for sure you'll feel something to it even if you are not addicted, as you build a habit to do it every Friday night. But again, even for myself, I don't have a regular schedule for gambling; it is like I play when I want it, and there are times it will last a few months, so I am good to go if I do take a break and gamble and still feel nothing.

I realized that at that time the finances were getting worse because of mistakes in acting at gambling.
I'm sure they will soon realize this and soon be able to think better.
Gambling is a choice, but we must be able to respond and be responsible for every action taken so that we don't experience disappointment because we have lost more money.
You are right to gamble using money that can be received when you lose is the best choice because then even though some money has been lost we have no thoughts of chasing it again.

That's clear because gambling can get big profits quickly so most gamblers think they can enrich themselves by gambling but this is a misleading thought.
The biggest mistake a gambler makes is not realizing it from the start, but there's no need to regret it because without having bitter experience we can't learn more about financial calculations when gambling.

Well, it's good how you still handle your staking decision and the amount you stake. Perhaps with that little chance of winning, one can even have doubts about winning, but it's just good to try and increase the amount once in a while, even if it's once every ten years. But again, one thing I noticed is that if someone puts in a large amount, they will not win unless they are lucky. If you are playing with just an amount less than $1, you will be surprised that out of 10 rolls, you will win like five, but once you top the staking amount, you can even lose it all, even if you play many times. I have that experience, but I don't know if it's the same for others.

It's not the same for others and it can't be, because the outcome doesn't depend on the stake size. I mean, accidentally it can happen to me or anyone else, but it's not like a rule: you win with low stakes and you lose with the high ones. It's an illusion which many gamblers encounter, but in reality things like this are not happening in  online gambling. Mediocre screenwriters write those things in movies about casino, and then people think they "see" them. Happens all the time with many other things too.

BUT, if you want to gamble responsibly, you should avoid high stakes anyway.
