Gamble Responsibly

[humanvelocity]

I really appreciate you take the time to raise awareness of Gambling addiction because we have countless noobies joining in everyday and since Gambling signature campaigns are kinda right on your face in the first post you open people are tend to click on it and start giving it try. I have told every single person I’ve come across who were interested in getting into gambling that PLEASE DO NOT GAMBLE WITH MORE THAN WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE. Also don’t even get me started with “beginners luck” these are the type of people who win once and start acting like they’ve figured out something new and start going around giving advice to people on how to properly gamble, It’s only matter matter of time until they start losing and realise “The house always wins” (unless you are smart enough and know what you are doing).

Addiction to gambling never becomes a responsible gambler rather it leads to more harm should gambling be played as a means of entertainment. I agree that many families are destroyed by gambling addiction and it becomes a serious problem when it causes unhappiness in the personal family and daily lives of gamblers. Because of this addictive behavior, their whole life is filled with problems because of this behavior.

Gambling addiction is included in the category of mental problems, someone who turns into a gambling addict will not have a comfortable time anymore, his/her mind changes to be impulsive.
There have been many legal cases involving gambling addicts, but will it stop, no, that's why education about gambling is very important, and the role and responsibility of the government is also very large for their citizens, a campaign about "gambling responsibly" must be carried out campaign anywhere, if necessary in every corner of the city.

      -   When it comes to gambling addiction, it is quite difficult to get rid of it right away. But if we look at it, it just started with trial and error and experiencing a good gambling win is what often leads to becoming a vice in the end.

That's why it's really better if you only have a small budget set aside for gambling, don't overdo it, honestly, at least if you lose, you won't have anything to draw, that's it, automatic stop immediately, that's what you should do and if you win Even if it's not a big deal, stop right away and then come back after a few days.

Correct. We have to make sure the casino we will use is safe, and there are no problems because after we deposit the money and play, we are ready to accept whatever will happen, including if the casino doesn't want to pay the winnings we get. The risk is greater if we lose all the money that day because we can be tempted to deposit more money and try to recover the lost money. And even when we win, we will have difficulty withdrawing the winning money. So as long as we can play gambling responsibly, we already understand the risks, and it's up to us to continue playing gambling or use other methods to have fun.

Makes sense. When gambling responsibly, of course, everyone has the courage to take all the risks that will be obtained at any time in gambling which is full of surprises such as withdrawals being refused, KYC rejected, etc.
Gamblers who gamble responsibly usually always use the amount of money they think they can afford to lose or lose in gambling and if a problem occurs, the gambler will not be too disappointed with every decision given by the casino.
Because sometimes gambling at gambling will have unexpected risks and if we lose a small amount, I think it will be fine.

What OP says is very true, many must learn or know how to play, especially when they are new, but in general terms when we enter a casino we usually get very excited, but here the important thing is to know how to bet and have the money ready to "lose" in a casino, but not to think about what you can win, because it is more feasible to lose than to win, if we think that way it can happen, otherwise I think that is when all the problems begin, I already know about addiction and everything that triggers.

Responsible gambling could mean knowing when to gamble, how to gamble, the amount to use in gambling and why they are taking every necessary steps in gambling activities, we must be able to give  account on how we spend our money on what we do while gambling, when we go to the casino, we should always have it in mind that we may win or loose, that doesn't affect our decision from gambling, it's our choice to make this happen if we are truly interested in gambling, nothing can stand a barrier for us from enjoying gambling either winning or losing.

That is supposed to happen but what went wrong is that most new gamblers have a hard time adjusting their emotions. Because at the moment they win, they will then think that they will the next round. But when they experience losses, they will become desperate and chase their losses and double their bets thinking that would help them to recover. Until now, I would say that only a few gamblers know how to become a responsible gambler while the majority had already fallen into addiction and lost control of their emotions.

Whatever the form, the principle remains the same and most gamblers have this trait, if they win they want to increase their income even more and continue playing with the hope of continuing to win. And
if they lose, they have a sense of revenge for the loss and try to chase the actual defeat, it only makes them lose more and lose it all.
It's not easy to be a responsible gambler because emotions and lack of control are always there. And if someone is successful, maybe they can stop gambling after losing everything or play in a disciplined manner by setting the time to gamble with the capital that has been provided.

The kind of situation where the person follows more on his emotions and forget about controlling himself, I agree that most of the time especially with newcomers or new to this gambling activities, they are preferred to follow the instinct inside, when winning they wanted more and the appetite of gambling increases, while when losing they wanted to quickly recover and try to win back their money.

Without changing this style, you will find yourself losing a lot and to the point that you may suffer with huge loss.

Responsible gambling comes from your experienced and how you deal with decision making when managing your finances.

Unfortunately, it's easier said than done!
The problem with gambling addiction and addiction in general is that addicts can not control their emotions.
Even if they set a small budget for gambling, after losing it, they will immediately deposit more without giving it a second thought. Some of them will not hesitate to steal or borrow money they know they can't refund after losing their own money.
The best thing to do is to seek professional help before things gets worse.

[Strongkored]

Gamble for fun only, using small money that you aren't needing, and think about losing that money first, to make sure that you won't be needing the money if it's gone.

This is the beginning of the gambler starting the game, for fun and with an amount that he can still afford to lose but over time everything can change a lot, because fun is no longer fun when we lose money so start using more money to get what we have lost there is always in mind.

The reason for fun is a very classic reason and sometimes it's not what players actually think about when they start the game, because fun things will be hard to stop, especially when we are in a winning state because the feeling of pleasure increases seeing the money increase.

Keep using the money we can afford to lose and increase the number of bets not because we are sure we will get more but because we can afford to lose that money so that any result will not change the way we play, because we know our limits and that is what is called a responsible gambler.

It is true what you said, a gambling addict will never be able to think calmly or clearly so that his thoughts become impulsive and only gambling is in his mind.
When someone has become a gambling addict, it will be difficult to cure, making it impossible for them to become gamblers who are more responsible for everything they do in gambling.
Some of the legal cases experienced by gambling addicts are criminal acts, like some people in my country have to deal with the law because they commit crimes of theft, fraud, just to get some money so they can use it for gambling.
So far, no government has a way or idea for dealing with a gambling addict so that the role of the government in providing understanding and understanding about gambling might be able to help some people who find it difficult to recover from their addiction to gambling.

I think form what I am seeing lately with the recent inflation in most countries and in some countries really near hyperinflation I am not seeing people going for fun anymore to the casinos but they go directly to make some extra money and that is even worse because it immediately gets you hooked.I am talking about what I am seeing here in the country where I live now but from what I read on the internet the same situation is all over Europe and even what I read on the chat of online casinos suggest the same,this is very dangerous as this will inevitably lead to more addicted persons.

Fun was used before to call some friends to have fun gambling but not anymore,now everybody rush to make some extra money in whatever possible ways with gambling leading the way and as I said this is bad for people in general.

[Betwrong]

There are many disadvantages of excessive gambling that we need to talk about, and I do hope that newbies who plan to start gambling will learn something from this thread.

Gambling is not for everyone, some people tend to always get attached to whatever they do in their lives, too caring, too foodie, too protective, all these comes with disadvantages too, because I believe that too much of everything is bad.

If you are someone like this, stay away from gambling.
~

I want to say that in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether you're quickly getting attached to things or not ... It's really hard to tell. What matters is your monthly income, and that's what you can easily tell by looking at your paycheck. If it's too low, like less than $400 per month(or, it can be $1,000 per month in some places. It depends on where you live.), you shouldn't gamble at all, period. No excuses. If you want to make additional money through gambling, then you need to see a doctor, a good professional who is able to explain to you have much more chances to make additional money elsewhere rather than through gambling.

There is money in casinos actually and we can't deny that some people/gamblers make this as their source of income. But the wrong thing about this idea is that they push themselves into addiction as the more they spend time gambling, the more their mind is injected into it and it becomes difficult for them to get out and look for a decent job, a secure source of income. And I was hoping for these people not to commit any crimes because this is very common to most gamblers especially those who rely on gambling to make a living.

That's just the exact situation with gambling addiction, it's an uncontrollable feelings that we ensure we must do even at all expenses and later finds our actions being regrettable, so don't have the money with you else you will got tempted and loose control to withdraw and use it for gambling, you can put a food in front of an hungry man and asked him not to touch or each from it after you left, that's very impossible in this kind of situation and you can link such with gambling experience also, an addicted gamblers cannot hold down money without using it for gambling either it belongs to him or not.

Since begining of times humans are trying to beat emotions but mostly they fail. Those one who can do it are successfull in things like gambling trading etc. But those people are so rare. Other thing is gambling to have fun and that I have nothing agains, and that should be the esense of gambling.
 It's sad to hear someone lost their house on gambling but I think that doesn't happen so often, it's just that it's such a bad think so we hear about it so often.

They will know the risks before deciding, which makes them want to bet. But some people are not very aware of the risks but still decide to gamble, and when they have a hard time, they will complain that the casino is a scam even though it is their own fault.

Being a responsible gambler will work in their favor as they can keep things under control. They will not be reckless and play gambling with no more than they can. By being responsible gamblers, they can also protect their money from total defeat in gambling which is often experienced by many gamblers out there. In addition, they also avoid gambling addiction which has become a problem for many gamblers.

Recognizing and accepting risks is another aspect of gambling; a gambler is prepared to face the consequences of his or her actions at any time. Scams are rampant in gambling, and if the proper procedures are not followed, one will undoubtedly become a victim of a scam. Another contribution that people consider as a source of money is gambling. It's a passive but very risky, individuals can lose practically all money to gambling, the more losses you record, the more you start betting higher in order to recover your losses, and you end up having your accounts liquidated during the process.

I think a sensible person would simply not do that since they should definitely have an idea that they can't actually gamble if they have a limited income that doesn't even allow them to have any savings and if they have any savings from the salary, they can't gamble and it's a sensible decision to save the money instead of gambling them away.

If someone is a responsible gambler, not addicted to it, and has an income that allows them to have some savings and still have some money to spare, they can use that to gamble and have some fun but they shouldn't aim to earn money with it, of course.

I would say that income doesn't really factor into if you are a responsible gambler or not, because even the highest monthly income can be gambled away if we try hard enough. Let's say you only have 100 USD free monthly to spend on yourself, or even less than that, than you could still gamble with it. There is nothing wrong with only placing small bets or play games that don't require too much money. A person that plays a few rounds of slots every week, or that spend 10 USD on scratch cards and the lottery is also a gambler in my eyes. Even though he doesn't spend much money in total, compared to his overall bankroll he is spending much. And if someone doesn't spend above his means than I would consider him a responsible gambler.  On the other side, if someone has 2000 USD every month free that he can spend on himself, but he gambles so much that he loses 4,000 USD then he is not a responsible gambler. It's all about staying within our means and keep our gambling expenses relative to our total bankroll.

technically, the way you wrote this is the best way for every gambler to avoid addiction due to gambling but not all newbies in gambling understand this trick so most of them can no longer accept advice from experienced gamblers.

So to reach everyone (beginner gamblers or people who have the potential to become gamblers) needs a warning and also education from the government (especially in countries that legalize gambling) but I see that currently the government's role in educating their citizens is very minimal, they only busy with taxes from gambling but not focused on their citizens who are harmed by gambling addiction (as people who are responsible for citizens, they have no responsibility for gamblers).

[Dzwaafu11]

Op raises good points. I can confirm to the fact that your advise is applicable to gamblers of all levels. If I'm not mistaken, even people who gamble go there and use it to manage their finances and health at the same time because losing money too much—to the point where you have to sell your property—can force you to do other bad things that will harm your health, such as the previously mentioned anxiety, depression, and other things. this things happened to me when I first started gambling, and I put a huge amount of money in without knowing whether I would lose or win, and it affected me, therefore I think everyone seeing this can benefit from the op's advise, thank you man.

Usually there are a seminar or event discuss about gambling addict problem by non profit organizations, usually it will launched in school because it's targeted for young kids. But this make the young kids who not school due to lack of financial will not learn about gambling addict, I think most of gambling addicts are come from uneducated people which lack of financial. So yeah, in order to safe it, all of young kids need to be facilitated by the government to make them school for free.
