Gamble Responsibly

[Rabata]

Maybe you misunderstood a little about what I said before.
What I am saying here is that a professional gambler is someone who has had a bad past and from this experience they can become a professional gambler who has better control because they already know that gambling responsibly is important.
Not that professional gamblers are addicts from the past or can become gambling addicts, but professional gamblers always know the best way to gamble.

A professional gambler, by definition, is someone who makes a living off of their gambling winnings. Professional gamblers have their primary game of choice, which could be sports betting, poker, blackjack, etc. Their game of choice is typically
A professional gambler is someone who has complete control over the time, money and energy they spend on gambling. They are seen to be more skilled at gambling than other gamblers, and are considered at low risk for addiction.
A professional gambler will keep detailed records of both their wins and their losses for federal purposes, and will be considered “self-employed” by the government.

There are so many definitions regarding professional gambling. The main thing is,  any gamblers must be responsible for what they have done. It doesn't matter how much they lose or win and they must accept that as personal responsibility in gambling.
They must have control over their mind even if they were not addicted. Self control is a must when someone wanna be a professional gamblers.

All people want to maintain professionalism in gambling but it is extremely difficult. While some may maintain his professionalism in gambling for a short period of time, he became known as an addicted gambler in the long term. A gambler must conduct gambling without getting too much excitement. Greediness of more winnings in gambling works in almost all gamblers so a gambler must be careful about that. Responsible gambling will be easier if greed can be controlled.

Everybody has a choice about how they want to spend their leisure time and what they want to spend their money on. All that matters is the fun that is archived. Gambling is not bad; people make it look bad through their own bad habits towards gambling. For me, gambling and games are the most fun 😊 things anyone can engage in; after all, we decide whether to give ourselves a chance or lose self-control towards what we do. Those who gamble and don't know when to stop are usually influenced by either the fun or the wins, although that's just my opinion. But, like you said, anyone who enjoys the fun of gambling must have self-control over it.

Exactly, every single thing in this world has two sides, a positive side, and a negative side, now it depends on us how we utilize that thing, if we use it in a good way, it won't be bad or harmful for us, but if we do it in the wrong way, we will definitely need to face the consequences of our actions. It's not that thing that is bad but it is us and our way of using it that makes it bad and harmful either for us or for someone else around us.

Gambling is exactly like that, if you use it only to have some fun and pass your time without wagering a lot of money and getting yourself addicted to it, it wouldn't be a bad thing for you, but if you take gambling as a way of earning money, spend a lot of money to get something out of it and also lose control and get addicted, that will be harmful to you for sure.

You are right by saying that gambling has two sides one is positive and the other is negative. However, most people who gamble often turn out to be using the negative side of the gambling as they think that gambling could make them rich over night and they spend thousands of dollars on gambling just in dream of becoming rich. They end up losing all the money, and get addicted to gambling, and such people will spend everything on gambling, and they can even sell their household items and properties to regain the money that they have lost during gambling. If someone of them turns out to be lucky then he/she might end up getting the lost money back, but still he/she will lose it again because of their addiction and greed.

Gambling has a positive side and that's its entertaining part. If we earn some money from gambling then that should be enough for us because we got both entertainment and money at the same time, but if we play more, than we can lose  both of those that we earned with gambling. I like sports betting to some extent and when I win most of my bets it makes me happy, but I only bet when I'm 70% sure that I have higher chance of winning. I must say that I have also lost many of my bets and that's why I can say that gambling is unpredictable, and it's your luck which will determine either you will lose or win the bets.

[slapper]

I've been stuck with gambling for a long time facing losses but now I'm enjoying gambling with experience. So I don't think gambling is bad in any way but peace of mind if I am addicted to gambling.

I don't think anyone has been into gambling with losing money; despite the experience you have had, I believe you still lose your bets even more than your wins because that is what gambling is all about: you will win less and lose more. Gambling is fun, and there is no one I know who ever starts gambling and just stops halfway; they always get stuck in the middle. That's even the reason why so many people get fond of it and even borrow just to satisfy their desire to gamble. I also started gambling a long time ago, and despite that, I have had several reasons to stop gambling, but I haven't. I can't stop what gives me fun.

It's not often that one openly acknowledges the inherent loss embedded in gambling yet continues to partake in it unabashedly, citing the 'fun' it offers. Academic research and numerous philosophical discourses argue that gambling, like any other form of addiction, can distort one's perception of risk and reward, creating a 'fun' illusion. Intriguingly, you appear to embrace this illusion, a viewpoint that's worth dissecting in a larger context. But let's not forget that this 'fun' has a price, often leading to financial distress, personal hardship, and a cycle of debt. You mentioned borrowing money to gamble - can the ephemeral thrill of a gamble truly justify the long-term ramifications of such actions?

[Fredomago]

Playing with control and a healthier mindset will enable us to play gambling more thoroughly and responsibly, gamble with money that we are ready to lose and don't chase high wins, enough to have fun and enjoy gambling will keep the desire away from continuing to gamble with a healthy mindset will help prevent us from becoming an addict.

Since this is possible then why do we keep seeing some people being under addiction or found with one or more abnormality attached to their gambling lifestyle experience, we have some benefits and advantages meant for us to have by default without any more discomforts coming in along with them than when we on our own way introduced some to our gambling experience, we have the control to this and what we determine to see is what we do and put in more efforts which turns to be either we are gambling responsibly or not.

Exactly, we have that control as a gambler before you step your foot into gambling you are aware about the risk, the thing that lead you into addiction or into an un-controllable situation is when you start to exceed from your set plan, once the adrenaline inside you already asking for more and you keep pushing for more, that responsibility will turn into out-of-control gamings.

It's your responsibility when you make your decision. If you are into entertainment, that's good to save your ass, but if you are into
making money. That's the thing that will lead you to fall.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

really do it but on the time that reality happens then this is where regret would really be ending up for you to be felt on.We should really be that responsible on whatever decisions that we are making because if we arent that mindful about such  thing then we would really be ending up into those unfortunate situations or conditions that we dont really like for it to happen in our lives.
We are the ones who would really be making our fate and if you dont like for it to happen then you should really be that sensible on the actions you've been doing.

In every society, there are different kinds of people: those who will be doing things wrongly, those who will think they are doing the right thing despite being cautioned for any unethical thing they are doing, and those who will do the right thing the way it should be. Someone said the other day that most of these issues start with parental upbringing, which doesn't really add up. Although it could help someone become better in life, the truth is that anyone who wants to corrupt can just use the influence of others to change over night. There is this popular saying that "good things are hard and take time to build up, but it doesn't take much time to destroy something." Even if you raise a child with good morals, there is still a great chance that they can grow up and decide to choose another path, like most gamblers who choose to cause problems for themselves most of the time.

Those people who just entered the gambling industry are called newbies and majority of them doesn't have that much idea how dangerous gambling is. We all have different attitude and personalities and this greatly affects on how we will react after the first gambling session you have. There are people who immediately stop after lossing money from gambling but there are other who want to get back the money they lost. It differs from person to person and the uncontrollable situtation like over gambling and over spending are the result of their personalities that will greatly affect their approach toward gambling. Imagine someone who is a newbie that has a great self control characteristic, what do you think will happen to that newbie after playing a single session? There are many factors, person to person.

...///:::
I gamble and enjoy it so much that I have been doing it ever since. Gambling is a very responsible thing and some people cannot change the habit after gambling. And if there is loss by misbehaving with neighbors in the vicinity. For some such people the reputation of gambling is ruined. I've been stuck with gambling for a long time facing losses but now I'm enjoying gambling with experience. So I don't think gambling is bad in any way but peace of mind if I am addicted to gambling.

?
Really it reassures you to be addicted, come on, it's a shame that many come here to talk about such a serious topic and just want to complete their thoughts in some way, so, they make it them write stupid things like saying and I quote: "So I don't think gambling is bad in any way but peace of mind if I am addicted to gambling."

Gambling addiction is serious and should be dealt with by professionals, if you think that you are addicted, you should consult a professional and stay away from gambling.

[khaled0111]

From this we can see that indeed the point of view of a gambler is to use the gambling industry as a place to make profits, not fun.
So how can they have self-control and thoughts or use the money they can receive when they lose so they can become responsible gamblers?

Not all gamblers think like this. Me including many others consider ourselves as players not gamblers. Players spend money to have fun regardless of the result. Some of them become more excited when they lose more than when they win. Gamblers gave a different mindset and they are the one who are more prone to become addicted because they don't accept losing, although it's part of the game.

That's what I'm pointing, we all have differences in terms of interpreting the outcome and how we react after the first few attempts during playing, if we lose it's our choice what to do next, and same with how you describe it, if the person wanted to continue then he will deposit and will try to recover those money and that's another risk that can lead him to addiction, while for other who will take it as charge to experience then quit, then it will save them for losing more.

[QueenVera]

 Gambling is very difficult to quit one become additicted to it and one of the major reason why people become addict is greed, not knowing when to quit, if you're new to gambling I'll advice you stick to a particular predictions strategy for a start, master it then start with smaller wins and stick to it. Do not let the greed of making quick money push you into staking high on risky odds.

 One of the best way to approach gambling is to see it a side hustle or means of fun during leisures not as a major source of income because there's no refund when you lose, it is said that one should have several sources of income but then not gambling because you could lose everything while trying to make more.
 
 Keep record of your games both winnings and losses to help you when you pause or quit it would also help you to know the level of your progress and also most gambling are about sports so you ought to be a good in sports and know about several sporting activities which would help you with your predictions. And if you feel you're not satisfied with your predictions you could seek help from experts and help perfect your predicting skills.

This happens because people still have the choice to do whatever they want, even if this goes against their self-interests, and in fact this is very common and starts from a very early age, after all who has not seen a kid which does not like to eat vegetables or that refuses to go and see the dentist?

A parent could explain why doing certain activities we may not like could be for the better, but at the end the kid still does not want to do it, and this is the same, we all know what we need to do to keep our gambling under control, but if a person does not want to follow that advice then that is their decision and we cannot do anything to change it.

Still ends up with the self-will of the person, I like that example and it was a good comparison even it's clear in our mind that gambling can harm us without proper control we still continue and we still test our limitation, to the point that we exceed from the target and that's where the problem begins, without strong system inside you to prevent or avoid yourself to engage that much, you are still prone to addiction, we cannot conclude anything as it's really self acceptance and self base opinions.

Very good point, gambling in itself has always been a self will thing, I've never come across any body who claimed to be forced into gambling..
Gambling is always a self made decision, atleast until the gambler becomes addicted, that time, we cant say for sure if it's still a self made decision, like a friend of mine who was heavily addicted told me one time that he wants to stop gambling but don't know how, I told him to just stop, but he said he tried several times, but only time is doesn't gamble is when he doesn't have money, as soon as money enters his hands, he only comes back to his senses after he has gambled the whole money away, this shows how bad gambling addiction can be.

The fact is that from the outside everything seems easier than if you do it yourself.
For example, if you look at the cryptocurrency trading market, or for example at the forex currency pairs chart, it seems that it is obvious where the price bottoms and price tops are. And it seems obvious where to buy and where to sell.
So in life, when you play in the present moment, you will never be able to understand whether there is an addiction or not. At the same time, it will be clearly visible from the outside. And of course then everything will seem simple in words.

But it's not just words of someone watching from the sidelines, it's stats, it's a fact that addicted gamblers constitute around 5% of all gamblers.. Check it by yourself.

Sometimes greed can play us in different ways, because when we see that there are many options to win, we decide to risk it or not, it has happened to me when I play that it makes me want to bet more, but on other occasions I have listened to that type of thoughts and I end up losing almost everything, so that is not a good idea, when I try to ignore those thoughts, which are rare, I leave with some gain, not with what I would like, but with something in my pockets, at the end of it all, it's the best I can do to be able to come out happy when I play, it's better to come out like this than with losses , the feeling is much more satisfying.

We all have those moments when we can't stop and we lose more than we can easily afford. We act as addicted gamblers during those times, and one might ask "What's the difference?". And the difference is that it happens very rarely with us regular gamblers, like once in a year or even less often, and with addicted gamblers it happens all the time.

[Dzwaafu11]

Having discipline in gambling is something very rare to be found, most people just start gambling and then they don't get a grip and continue it until they realize they have become addicted and that is only because they have gambled recklessly and spent a lot of time on it.

Some people become addicted to gambling because of the way in which they view it; specifically, when it gets to the point where they are unable to control it any longer. For example, when someone gambles in order to make money or when they observe someone else making money from gambling, some people assume they become wealthy as a result. I have never seen someone who is wealthy through gambling and did not become addicted; the most of the individuals I know are gambling addicts. Imagine sitting down and imagining how money will come their way without working, which is, in all honesty, pretty rare.

And they receive the money, yet it is still used for gambling. I think if they ran another business and made money from it, they would consider starting a new venture to increase their income. However, they have gambling addictions and continue to gamble with the same amount of money, which forces them to return to their previous financial situation.

In the case of a beginner in gambling, I think it's normal if he can't control his gambling, especially if he immediately wins at his gambling for the first time, of course he will find it difficult to control his ambition to win at gambling, especially if the environment is like you said, many people who wins from gambling, surely he will be proud to show his victory to his gambling friends.

It's a difficult thing, I've experienced that too, playing and then winning and I received the money, I didn't think I should open a business, because the consequences of doing business would be tiring, while gambling is easier and less sweaty in practice.

But if you have been in gambling for a long time and have had many losses, I think you will naturally become aware and try to control yourself so that you gamble responsibly, and you need to remember that it takes time to achieve this.

When they observe other people who gamble and are successful in making money, they think that they too can make money gambling.
And that led them to try it for a few dollars and they made their first profit.
That is the advantage for beginners in gambling but henceforth, they will not be as lucky at the beginning because they will face more losing moments than winning.
And when they instead continue to play gambling and even forget the time, they will only become addicted to gambling without them knowing it and will get deeper into gambling.
The responsibilities will be lost and they will not have good self-control so it will accelerate them to become a serious gambling addiction.

I read some articles, and really saw that there are not as many addicts as it seems. Nevertheless, 5 percent is outdated statistics relating to 2018 or 2019 (judging by the latest articles on Wikipedia). But a year ago the statistics were updated, and now eight percent of respondents admit that they cannot control their desire to play. As you can see, unfortunately the number has increased (but in old surveys it was said that the number of addicts is only two percent).

I am sure that this is due to the fact that digitalization has made gambling much more accessible.

The after effect of curiosity and the desire to experience what other people have when they play the game, that kind of mentality is very dangerous as you wanted to try your luck believing that you can duplicate what others can do. Always remember that whatever strategy or whatever patterns that they've used, it doesn't mean that you will get the same result.

Re-assess after facing a defeat, instead of keep insisting on playing that kind of aggressiveness will endanger you to keep aiming for more.

A matter of self realization or having that realistic approach on things would really be able to help you out because if you arent really that sensible into the things around then most likely you would really be going into a
path on which believing into something which it isnt really that really good on doing so.Being responsible and having that common sense would really be able to help you out on making good decisions and steps and since you've been aware about the potential risks or danger on playing too much gambling and trying out to believe on what people been showing that there's a strategy that do works then it would really be molding up that kind of impression on which this would really make you desperate instead. Find yourself on going into a path into those realistic approach towards gambling and dont put yourself into something being delusional
on where you do believe that there's some sort of holy grail method for you to take advantaged on.
