Gamble Responsibly

[lienfaye]

Gamblers play more card games offline, and they lose the most money in this game. You will find these gamblers in every country, many countries have strict gambling laws so they play secretly. Sports betting is more popular offline in my country, and gamblers lose huge amounts of money in sports betting. Because overconfidence in sports betting emotionally influences the gambler more to take large amount of bets. So if someone becomes addicted to gambling, he cannot quit this addiction until he becomes bankrupt.

And even going bankrupt may not stop some people to keep gambling, after all someone that has reached that level of addiction will not be above doing all kind of things to keep their addiction going, and this includes committing crimes so they can get the money necessary to keep betting.

Which is why when those people get caught and they finally realize what they have done, they have problems dealing with the guilt they feel, as they cannot believe they stoop so low just to obtain some money.

Well, I think no one wants to be in such situation. However, because you let yourself so hooked in gambling and forgot to set limitation, obviously no one is to blame but yourself. It will not happen if from the start, we discipline ourselves. Thus we'll only realize the mistakes we did after the reality hits us hard by facing the consequences of becoming addicted.

It's been said many times to only gamble in moderation. If we can follow this, then we can enjoy playing without worries since you can control yourself.

Those who gamble daily are addicts and don't gamble for fun....

not all people who gamble daily are addicted to gambling, some people for example, in order not to be too stressed with the problems in their lives, play every day, but do not gamble with money, this can be seen in people, you you can even see that many people play on their cell phones every day, but do not put money in, now when a person starts to attend casinos every day then the situation is serious, even if it is an online casino, playing every day becomes dangerous but even even in that there are cases that make sense and that do not make the person addicted to gambling

for example, in the case of sports bettors, when in a week there are games every day, they are obliged to stay all day analyzing the games and placing bets, but these are rare cases because good games usually happen on weekends. people who play casino games are the ones who are most exposed and are playing every day and are more likely to become addicted to games of chance, in my country I see young people in restaurants playing snooker every day and they bet on who will win, the saddest thing is that at the end of the day it always ends in a fight because some do not accept defeat

I agree with you, someone who gambles daily doesn't need to be an addict. Same goes for someone who gambles only one time a week, he doesn't have to be an addict but can be one depending on his habits. We need to look more closely at the time spent at the casino and how much of his money he his betting. If you gamble every day for 15 minutes for 2-3 dollars, than I wouldn't call you an addict. Losing a few bucks won't change much for you and you seem to be on control over your bankroll. And someone who gambles only one time per week for several hours and loses all his monthly salary in a single day should be called an addict in my opinion. Another factor to determine if we are addicted to gambling should be if we can take a break from it without thinking about it constantly. There are more aspects to an addiction than how often we are at the casino. In sports betting it's true that we have times of big tournaments, where we have big games almost every day and then we have summer breaks where are no games for several weeks. It's more interesting how well you are doing during these break periods and if you will switch to some new sports you never followed before only to place some bets. There are detailed tests for gambling addictions and it shouldn't come down to how many times you visit a casino per week.

Gamblers used to gambling will not think about bankruptcy or other problems because they only think about getting wins from gambling. They think they can win by gambling, so that makes them continue to play gambling even when it comes to spending their money. Sports betting is betting that can be commonly available in many countries, both illegal and legal, because people love to watch sports matches, especially when their favorite team is performing. And that is why if there is a match between their favorite team and the opposing team and the opposing team looks weaker, they will immediately place their bet, hoping they can win.

Haha, addiction to gambling is lot a curse my friend, it's just a gambling disorder, lucky ones still find a way around their addictions before it turns chronic, while the unlucky ones, well, like you said, keep gambling even after they've gone bankrupt, they can go hungry the whole day provided they find some money to satisfy their gambling urge.

I know someone who made hundreds of thousands of dollars from gambling. But he got so addicted to gambling that he lost that money by gambling, he even sold his favorite bike and gambled with that money and lost. In fact, we have a lot to learn after seeing this kind of real experience, that we have to be emotionally strong in every place so that we don't have to put ourselves in bad situations due to our wrong decisions.

The bad thing about this when they concentrate a lot in the casino, and that they can win by making any movement, lucky movements, or they are hopeful that if they spent a lot of money, with a single play they can recover what they lost and come out with a profit, they must There is some case where a specific player has achieved it, but I think that this is about 1 million players, only 1 achieves it, and the other thing is that he comes out recovering everything and with some profit, and does not bet again because if he does there if nothing to do, it is likely that you will lose everything again, things in casinos are like that, but not because of the casinos but because of the greed of a player and for thinking that the chances of gnar are always greater than losing.

[Fesatmas]

Those who gamble daily are addicts and don't gamble for fun. You will find them more than those you are talking about. Gambling is entertainment but when it becomes addiction the gambler himself won't be able to recognise this issue.

Very true. Gambling everyone starts as fun and when someone plays gambling they get attracted to it and at some point the gambler becomes addicted to gambling. I have seen many gamblers who started gambling only for fun and now become completely addicted to gambling, and have sold many of their assets at a loss and lost the money in gambling. So once a person becomes addicted to gambling it is very difficult to get rid of this addiction.

All victims who have experienced addiction in gambling will depart from the same thing, namely following some people who say that they can get rid of boredom or stress by gambling because it will bring them happiness. After that, they will unconsciously change their assumptions in gambling, happy things will turn into a fun hobby that they will always do. The lure of victory in gambling has a very high influence on one's mind. They have won and then they will bet with a larger nominal in the hope that they will be able to get a bigger win too, this is a smart system in gambling. If they don't have a strong mentality, it's very easy for them to get hooked and become addicted.

All gamblers will experience the same thing, but it all returns to their individuality, if they don't care too much about their defeat then they will have a great chance to avoid addiction problems. The self-control factor is very important when someone is in this position but unfortunately not many of them are able to do it. A gambling addict if they want to get better then they can only reduce the time in gambling, because to stop completely it seems impossible.

Gambling luck have to do with a lot of bets and the gambler can not tell what the right time it to make the stake that will give you the deserve winning and since the outcome of games is unpredictable it makes it important to note that casinos also have some form of compensation for themselves and at that, a gambler could easily become addicted by chasing a particular direction.

It could be in winning and chasing more wins closings and trying to recover from a lost session.

On the time that you do gamble then dont expect something to be assured or guaranteed because everything would really be depending on your luck into that particular sessions.If you do keep on chasing whether you

are aiming something speaking about taking huge profits or chasing your losses then it would really be a different because you wouldnt really be that making yourself that responsible towards your actions with gambling.
This is where majority of people or gamblers do really end up on miserable or disaster is just because they arent taking these precautions on the time that they do deal with gambling. Its for fun but sadly
there are people who are really that making it as a source of income which it cant really be that possible.

Always be responsible on whatever things that you do really engage on because every bad decisions you would be making would definitely take a toll specially on your finances if we do
speak about gambling which this is where most people do end up.

All forms of addiction include more than just the time and money spent. Even if someone who gambles every day only loses a modest amount, the obsessive, regular character of their conduct is cause for concern. If they choose to quit, could they? That should be answered immediately.

However, the once-weekly high roller who loses a day's salary might not be an addict despite the devastating effects on his or her finances. It's possible they're looking for excitement. Or someone going through a brief period of emotional turmoil? In this case, the degree of monetary loss may not be a reliable indicator of addiction.

The essential questions are not "how often" or "how much," but rather "why" and "how." Why does this person gamble, and how do they plan to deal with the repercussions of their actions? Can they get away when they need to, and is it having a detrimental impact on their life?

On the time that addiction is already that severe then you would definitely be having that kind of behavior on which you cant really be able to resist on playing gambling even more.Each person does have their own

tolerance and control towards things on which there are some who are really that strong will and discipline towards themselves on which on the time that they would really mean that they would stop theyll stop.
Unlike into those people who are really just not taking things seriously on which they do say that theyll stop but eventually be ending up on playing once again because they cant really just resist
and for sure those voices in their minds which would pushing them to play even more. As long you do have funds then you would completely  be trying out to play once again no matter what.

Being responsible isnt only really that limited on gambling but also in other things in life as well.If you wouldnt really be thinking up clearly then you would surely struggle.

I disagree with the widespread belief that a solitary indicator of addiction is the frequency with which one gambles or the total amount wagered. In reality, there is some gray area here. What about the person whose betting is modest but whose mind is constantly on the next wager? Or the person who goes all out once a week but considers gaming a fun, regulated diversion? I argue that the root of addiction is not just in the behavior but also in the psyche. Is there compulsive thinking, a need to play, or uneasiness when gambling is not involved? Addiction manifests itself in these ways.

Similarly, during the off-seasons for sports betting, a person may decide to switch sports not because of an irrational urge to wager, but rather because they enjoy the excitement of the unknown. That line separates an enthusiastic participant from an addicted one.

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.

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.

That's disturbing if true that the number has increased. I said "if true" because it's never certain, this is just a rough estimate, but what we can be certain about is that it is far from being the majority. Problem gamblers should know that it is not normal to be a gambling addict, and it's not the online gambling to blame but themselves.

And sometimes even just to be able to gamble, he will even sell his other property at home just to have it equal to a casino gambling platform here in cryptocurrency. It's a painful thing to imagine an addicted gambler doing.

That is why gambling requires responsibility and others so as not to experience big losses. Even if they hope to win, it will be difficult for them to win because the gambler's luck determines gambling. Indeed, perhaps only a few gamblers can be responsible and win big. But other than that, some gamblers can win big, and instead of stopping, they continue to gamble so that their winnings run out at the end of the game. And that is the fault of the gambler, who has no responsibility in gambling, so he cannot get the winning money.

The important thing for them is that they can still bet, and lucky are those who have a responsibility in betting because they won't just waste their money and only choose to bet on sports or matches with teams they know. The rest, they won't bet at all rather than lose. Some can restrain themselves from betting on every game and only bet when they know the team.

That is if they can moderate their activity in gambling, but most gamblers will not be able to because the temptation from gambling is very strong and can make them come back again. Maybe only a small percentage can minimize the negative effects of gambling, while others will not think about it and instead use more money to gamble. They don't realize how many losses they have experienced because they only think about continuing to play. And it's a mistake if they can't change it because they will lose more money.

When we do the right thing, we should not always plan for the best rather for a good result especially as a gambler that have the mindset to make some winnings in the market. Those we do see that keep making profits from the market do not have two hands and are people that are always ready to take decisions that will not affect them later like gambling with too much funds that if they lose, it could affect there gambling result and make them to be depressed.

 Those that know the secret of gambling wi tell us that gambling too quickly without doing any findings or entering the market without having a good winning strategies can make our day bad because we can only be making betting like a child that is walking in the street without no destination. Luck can be another thing that can stepup our results and make us a profitable gambler because we are doing the right thing always.

 If we don't plan ourselves just like the way traders plan there day before entering the market, we could end up gambling Iike a child that is walking in the street without no destination. We ought to do things appropriately so that we can be having a significant results that will make us stay in the gambling world for long with a lot of profits that will boost other gamblers to try as much to gamble with a plan not blindly.

That's right, unfortunately addiction is an abyss. And when I watch videos about repentant ludomaniacs, it always hurts a lot.
After all, this trouble affects not only individual people, but also their families. And I can't even imagine how scary it is when your loved one is erased as a person and begins to be dependent, taking valuables out of the house. It's good that the percentage of addicts is not as high as everyone used to think. As far as I remember, no more than 8 percent. Although according to the general stereotype, all people think that if you gamble, then you are addicted.

It can be classified as responsible gambling if you are in control of your gambling habit. I mean, if you carefully analyze your bets and assess both your money and time and are still doing a good balance of your time, then yes, it can be called responsible gambling, especially if you are betting on sports that you fully understand and can utilize the chances of winning.

Though there's no accurate outcome or accurate prediction, the chance is good if you know the game and the player or fighter that's playing.

Haha, addiction to gambling is lot a curse my friend, it's just a gambling disorder, lucky ones still find a way around their addictions before it turns chronic, while the unlucky ones, well, like you said, keep gambling even after they've gone bankrupt, they can go hungry the whole day provided they find some money to satisfy their gambling urge.

I know someone who made hundreds of thousands of dollars from gambling. But he got so addicted to gambling that he lost that money by gambling, he even sold his favorite bike and gambled with that money and lost. In fact, we have a lot to learn after seeing this kind of real experience, that we have to be emotionally strong in every place so that we don't have to put ourselves in bad situations due to our wrong decisions.

Many gamblers have committed same mistake and in most of the cases its not actually because they lack control over their habits, I like to think that greediness and not being content also plays a major contributory factor for this gambler to have actually gone A-wire and lost control to the extent of even selling his motor bike and other stuffs.
