Gamble Responsibly

[Jchris50]

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.


In the Gambling case, it's a different story entirely, if humans can get used to drugs, alcohol, and other harmful things in this category how much more trying to make money off gambling?

It is easier to start dteaming about quitting your job one day and retire in your 30s, you know what I am talking about, those weird dreams that one never dreamt about when working in a company from 8am to 5pm everyday.

Here are some Negative effects of excessive gambling.

Too much stress
Anxiety and Depression
Debt
Making wrong decisions

And if all these is active in one's life low self-esteem is sure to follow, many people messed up their lives by gambling and they don't know when they start borrowing money, or selling off properties because of gambling until they have nothing left.

Thier families are the one who got caught up in the mess, imagine a family man that has a home to take care of ending up losing everything to gambling and start living a wrecked life, I have seen a lot.

My advice for upcoming gamblers reading this thread today, always makes sure you gamble like a responsible man. Remember where you came from and think about your children and family.  

Gambling must not be your path to success, you will get rekt very fast.

Do not build any dreams around gambling at all.

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.

Take a break.

Play for fun.

Don't chase your losses.

Stick to your Limits.

Gamble Responsibly.


[/quote] I know of someone who can put all he has on gambling, but even as that there's no greater benefit he has gain... Some years ago I was in a spot betting shop where I came across to someone who stake a bet of to win some milions of Naira, at first the money came out 5m but he was not okay with that so had to add two other games that increased the price to 15m, now a friend of mine who took me there had to play the game before he added those two.
Now after all the game played but on of the two he added had to cut him, wish made him regret, why my friend who copied the game won his bet!
So unfortunate he saw a chashout before the end of the game but he didn't chashout cuz he needed big...

In gambling you can't predict was to come it's all grace and luck.
Whatever his set let it be don't be selfish, just be okay with what you see

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.

By gambling responsibly, we don't need to worry that later we will become addicted to gambling because we can still balance time, money, and other activities properly to enjoy gambling still. And that's exactly what we should do so that we can really think of gambling as entertainment and won't get addicted to gambling. We can gamble whenever we want and stop before it's too late.

And it's also okay if we can't win because we know that gambling is just a game and we depend on luck. While luck cannot come too often, and without us being able to predict it, it is better for us just to enjoy gambling as it should be and let luck come to us.

The fact is that we can play:

1) periodically, for example on weekends. But then it is important that this does not happen all the time, because as they say, "the habit is formed from the third time." Therefore, I suggest playing two weekends and then taking a mandatory break. So the probability of getting an obsessive desire to play will be minimal.

2) Spontaneously. In this case, in order to control yourself, you need to allocate yourself a certain amount of deposit and not go beyond it for a certain period. For example, to make it $200 a month. Here everyone will individually come up with a deposit amount based on their earnings and capabilities.

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.

Casinos know how to play on the emotional feelings of gamblers, so they will let them win at the start, so it's no wonder if you open a new account, you will be given a win, usually people who are smart, they will withdraw money and then leave, but casinos know that they are only humans who are greedy that's why the casino without having to ask them back, they will continue to play because they will think that they are having good luck and are great.

Casinos play on the emotions of gamblers so they can be controlled not the other way around, that's why it's important to control yourself before playing gambling you have to know when to stop playing and when to play, I'm also not a perfect gambler because I still make mistakes but I think there's nothing wrong with sharing my thoughts , fortunately I only gamble for fun on weekends unlike those who are trapped with their emotions so that they become addicts willing to spend assets to gamble.

If being practice correctly it can really help to avoid any addictions, you are saving both your time and your money if you can properly balance your engagement into gambling, though it' always easier said than done, as we always at risk when we already enjoying and our appetite in gambling is already increasing.

It's on how you take your responsibility and always minding yourself if you are already exceeding to prevent any harm from happening.

If you still have that control to stop, then it's still good for you not to allow any potential addiction to take place.

Self awareness
Self control
Self discipline
Common sense
Good balancing on things

You wouldn't really be putting yourself into trouble because you wouldn't really get addicted into it because you do know on how to handle up yourself and you've been wary and aware
on what are the things that should really be done and be avoided so that you wouldn't really get addicted. I have seen people who had been continously been playing gambling
but even up all to this time they werent be able to make themselves to be addicted since they are only allocating on the funds or amounts that they could afford to lose
which its always been that considerable on doing so.

People often choose number one because they are not busy with their routine work on weekends and can relax. This makes them use their free time by playing gambling, although not many spend their weekends gambling. But this is what we encounter most often, whether from our friends or ourselves.

For number two, I think it is correct to allocate a deposit for playing gambling and not exceed it if it has been used for gambling. And if your income is not large, it is better for you to discourage gambling because it can cause you to lose and maybe spend your income just to gamble.

To be a responsible gambler, you must be able to train yourself to set limits and apply them well. Without practice, you will not be able to have a responsibility, especially in gambling, where the temptation to continue gambling will come stronger. And if you can't take responsibility for yourself, you will probably keep playing, and over time, you can become addicted to gambling. There is nothing wrong with practicing responsibility in gambling because it is proper and good for us. There are already many gamblers out there who have lost their responsibility and, in the end, will only become gambling addicts. We must avoid this so that gambling does not destroy our lives.

I agree with you in many words, but I am still sure that constant games can cause addiction. For example, a person will play on the first weekend, then on the second, then again, and it turns out that he will already be constantly thinking on weekdays about how to relax on weekends. Therefore, it is better not only to limit yourself in the deposit, which is very useful, but also not to make the games permanent. We need to look for other sources of entertainment, and make sure that they can fully replace gambling.
This is the only way of self-control. Tough and hard.
And let it be hard, but no one can control us as much as we do. And the ability to control yourself is very important both in gambling and in any games.

We need to always make efforts to demonstrate ourselves that we are in control even if we do not feel we are showing any signs of addiction, for example sometimes I just decide randomly to stop gambling for at least a month, and I do this because a person that really had problems controlling their gambling will never be able to do something like this, so once I spend a month or even a longer period of time without gambling I have demonstrated myself that I have no problems and I can keep gambling as usual.

It's good to take that challenge to you, as if you can really push it then you can assure to yourself that you are still in control, if you can do it from time to time and still manage to keep on what's the goal. What is important here is you know what to do and you know how to control your own self.

With such a good limitation, you can continue playing back, enjoying or aiming for something decent out of your gambling activities.

As long as you can quit the moment you decide it, then you are good to go and maybe you are still far from any possible addictions.

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.

Well, It is actually lack of control over ones habit that give room for greediness, which is also directly or indirectly the same thing as not being content, to thrive..

Lack of control is not just about not being able to control one self, it's like a tree standing, it has many branches, and one of the branches of lack of control over ones habit, is greed.
Think about it, one who has control over himself will know when to draw the limit, and also will not allow greed to take the better part of their self, so being greedy, also not contented all boils down to lack of self control.

The best way to show your independence in any case is to temporarily abandon this case. Similarly, the same applies to gaming addiction, or just a strong attraction to the game.
It is important not only to step back and do something else, but also to notice how often you think about gambling or betting. If day after day you forget about them, then that's great. And this is an indicator that you have a lot of other interests that take up your time and attention.
It can be a family, ordinary computer games, drawing, walking down the street or any other hobby.

This mindset must we have as we all know that in the world of gambling we ourselves are the only instrument of our mind  and if we can control our self then we are safe from addiction because we decide what's wrong and what's right. And if we don't have our self control and greediness can take over us then a lot of consequences we will face because once we don't have our self control then we bet spontaneously with greediness.

You are very correct, greediness is not an emotion that should be found in a gambler, as the result of it is not always good, and does not benefit the gambler at all, there are other parts where greediness does benefit the bearer, like in the area of investment, it is commonly said that, "we should get greedy when other investors are fearful, and become fearful when other investors get greedy", this is some thing I've practiced one or two times and it helped me earn a nice profit...

But then, when it comes to gambling, we should completely do away with greed, as it will bring no benefit to the gambler, other than losses and more losses, and maybe an addiction will follow, if the gambler is not yet addicted.

It could happen to him, but it's all about how he can treat gambling because if he knows that gambling is just for fun, he won't overdo it and can keep his limits. I agree that we need to find other sources of entertainment so we don't depend on gambling, and the important thing is that our minds can be distracted from doing other things. This also helps us to be able to reduce the time we gamble, and maybe it can also prevent us from gambling addiction problems that can come at any time. It will be our responsibility to be responsible for what we do so that if it is gambling, we can prevent ourselves from gambling addiction.

A gambler is a person who gambles regardless of whether money is involved in his gambling or not. Without money and greediness, the excitement dries down and the gambler won't be interested in his gambling habit anymore. Greediness is what drives the gambler to take a risk and without it, he will never be able to make a profit. What he needs is discipline in his gambling habit as it stops him to become a gambling addict. You cannot ignore your loss! You can only wait for another time to gain your loss. That also depends on the ability of a gambler who has a stable mindset and a goal to achieve.

In essence, everyone, especially those in the gambling zone, will mostly have a high sense of greed, therefore one of the strongest reasons why they are still here is because psychological factors and greed always dominate in every gambling. Greed keeps them alive with the lure of victory and a victory drives them to stay here. I don't think everyone will have a strategy in gambling, but only certain limitations which are sometimes difficult for them to do. That's right, it's not that easy for someone to be able to let go and let go of their losses, this is also one of the reasons why they can survive gambling and many of them then experience periods of addiction. My point is most of them will do it again, hoping to be able to make up for their previous losses.

Overconfident often influences gamblers to be more aggressive. As a result, the gambler makes one wrong decision after another and loses control over himself. Many times the profitable gambler ends his journey at a loss, because overconfidence sets in when he wins every game, which starts his downfall due to over-betting. When he loses, he tries to recover the losses by gambling with more money, for which he does not hesitate to sell his favorite things.

Yeah, greediness is the number one killer when we are talking about money, and the first thing that you need when you are into gambling is money, having the right mindset and having the right balance and control with your emotions will always keep you away from any possible greed, if you can continually control yourself from making the right decision in each gambling sessions that you take, it will help you to continue enjoying and limiting the amount of money that you may lose when you exceed from your sets limitations.

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.

Well, It is actually lack of control over ones habit that give room for greediness, which is also directly or indirectly the same thing as not being content, to thrive..
Think about it, one who has control over himself will know when to draw the limit, and also will not allow greed to take the better part of their self, so being greedy, also not contented all boils down to lack of self control.

I implore people to carefully study themselves and the limit at which they could take before doing anything. This thing they call adulthood is tasking, which is why the government makes sure that everyone above the age of 18 years is free to do whatever such want with approval. Ans if one reaches that age without knowing their weakness and strength and how to control and exercise limits, they should be blamed. We are responsible for our actions as an adult, it takes discipline, careful calculation and planning for one to gamble responsibly. And if you are out of control, it's advisable to take a break for some weeks, this helps to take a deep breath and gives more strength to control any gambling addiction.
