Gamble Responsibly

[Fredomago]

Everything boils down to emotion and greed some people do not know how to control their emotion and they don't also know how to control their greed. When they are in for it, there is absolutely nothing you can say unless they exhaust all the money on them before they will listen to you.

There is nothing wrong with gambling if it is done like a fun and not when the gambler uses all he has to do bet a particular game and which eventually when the outcome does not favour the gambler he will loose everything and plunge into emotional damage.

That's the story of almost every addicted gambler, they know no stopping until they have nothing left to gamble, and even then, they try to find a way to get more money only to continue gambling because the urge just doesn't leave their mind and keeps tickling and telling them that they will now win something big if they play just a little bit more, and that little bit more keeps getting stretched until they lose everything they've gathered once again.

Most people don't gamble for fun but they do it to earn money so that they don't need to work, I consider addicted gamblers lazy people because they want to use gambling as an excuse to not work to earn money and they want to earn a living through it which isn't possible.

I agree gambling addiction always leads to losses and it can never be a way of earning. Those who choose it as a means of earning a living are at risk because there is no guarantee of winnings in gambling, it depends entirely on luck. A lazy person can do nothing in life like any other hobby related to gambling, there are some problems and weekly people suffering from addiction lose huge amount of money, face financial problems, get into debt and can't stop betting in online casinos.

In my tribe a lazy person loves gambling more than hardworking and while growing up I started to see how true this is, if we think very well we will see that gambling suits those who are lazy more because all you have is pressing some buttons and numbers hoping you make millions, how can you start from scratch and build your way up with solid foundation when you believe that you can make millions in gambling instead?

It sound like the very way a lazy fellow will follow isn't it? Because gambling look like a easy way of getting rich for the fools who don't want to work and build themselves up, it's the same way the poor don't like the sound of long-term investment and honestly they are the ones lacking the most.

Following your statement OP, that wrong impression with gambling is what more people got addicted into it, that easy to earn patterns most of those who wanted a quick result experienced huge losses, thinking that by luck beside them they will quickly earn a huge amount of money, and because of that laziness they will not stop and will continue to this same process.

I guess more on excuses and not thinking in the right way, gambling is more on the risk side and only a small percentage will make some money out from the casino, more on those who will lose their money so have that time to assess yourself, don't count yourself as lazy trying to use this venue to make an easy profits, instead use it for a temporary entertainment.

       -    That kind of concept of belief in gambling is a bit of a bad belief in fact, because the more they think they will get millions of dollars when luck is on their side, the more they will fall into having an addiction to it, something that is not good and difficult to get rid of.

And if you look at it literally, it can be considered a lazy job, as if for them you can get millions of money in the easy way of gambling. That is if you hold or control luck.

I feel that when people are lazy in other activities and only gambling that they believe brings wealth in luck, it can be considered as a severe addiction, their mindset will be very bad when offered more positive and more trusting gambling even though they have lost a lot of money in it.

Bad behavior by thinking they will get millions of dollars, this will never happen especially when they are just a class of amateur gamblers with less deposits but insist on it.

Keep in mind that not every gambler is a slacker and not every hard worker enjoys playing the slots. The thrill itself can be the point at times. Feeling of adrenaline when rolling dice or spinning slot machine reels; perhaps some Schadenfreude at the "house's" cost. We're just laying out the facts without passing judgement. Having money is not like picking an easy fruit from a tree. The most desirable fruit is located at the very top of the tree. Sure, I can feel your compassion for people who missed the boat on sound financial planning.

Lets get down to brass tacks, though: betting is about as systematic as a chimpanzee writing Shakespeare. Whereas investments? With some time and effort, thats how you can achieve financial independence. Whether something is entertaining or not, the key to success is understanding the difference.

It is not all winning streaks that leads to defeats but it has been proven that many winning streaks leads to losses. So it is advisable to always stop playing when you have won consecutively. But if I were to advice, I will say that when you are on a winning streak, you should rather set out a budget from your win to continue playing. When that budget is exhausted, you will stop playing, that is the best to do. If you continue playing, it is certain that you cannot continue winning.

But usually, after getting successive wins, we can experience successive losses, especially if we really want to get another win where it won't be as easy as we imagine. Many have had successive losses after winning, and if you are experiencing winning streaks, you should immediately stop and leave the casino. And when your budget is running low, it's better to stop immediately and don't even think about spending it hoping you can win at the last minute because that can't always happen.

One of the gambling strategy I adopted is that after enjoying a consistent winning streaks I do withdraw my profits and divert it to other things either investment or pay for goods and services leaving some little funds in my account, because I knew that consistently winning bets wouldn't be sustain in the long run no matter how professional a gambler is there is bound to be down turn when losing some bets will inevitable, this is based on my own personal experience, however the fact the I gambled with the amount of money I can afford to lose doesn't take any toll on me and the total profit earned outweighed that of losses thus I will be contended with myself and refund my betting account to start another round of bettings.

You have done the right thing that a gambler should do because taking advantage of our wins can allow us to enjoy those wins. And we can also stop playing gambling and rest while celebrating that victory so that when we want to play gambling again, we are already in a different condition from what we experienced before. Winning gambling games cannot always be obtained, so we must prevent losing money and not force ourselves to continue gambling if we almost lose money.

Following your statement OP, that wrong impression with gambling is what more people got addicted into it, that easy to earn patterns most of those who wanted a quick result experienced huge losses, thinking that by luck beside them they will quickly earn a huge amount of money, and because of that laziness they will not stop and will continue to this same process.

I guess more on excuses and not thinking in the right way, gambling is more on the risk side and only a small percentage will make some money out from the casino, more on those who will lose their money so have that time to assess yourself, don't count yourself as lazy trying to use this venue to make an easy profits, instead use it for a temporary entertainment.

One important thing I've always had in mind is that, ideal people should never be allowed to gamble, this was if we had and lived in a society that is sane, but unfortunately, we are not living in a sane society after all, so keeping track of who or those who have no job or verifiable means or source of livelihood outside gambling is almost impossible, if not totally impossible, but then, thinking deep about this, if this was possible to implement, that is where casinos block those who have no job or business of their own from gambling, this i believe will give gambling a better reputation, today in many societies, gambler are seen as tout and lazy people who do not want to work or be useful to their society.

  Well said, you've made a very valid point here @Fivestar4everMVP, and online casino and gambling platform should look to start implementing kyc policies and those that are already on that track should also review their kyc policy for people to also provide their occupation or sources of income  before using the platform, because it would help kick against those idle people that won't want to steal so satisfy their gambling addiction, infact I think one of the worst set of people to get addicted to gambling are the idle ones that's got no job and source of income, and the idle man they say is the devil's workshop and they could do anything to satisfy their addictions for gambling.

 and not only that, their are also people who use gambling site as a means of saving or diverting fraudulent money from bank accounts where they could easily be tracked, so this KYC policy would help prevent fraud activities and as well as preventing idle people from stealing to invest in gambling, but I think I would be difficult because the platforms are business platform and know they'll loss alot of money because the number of idle people using the platform and greater compared to people with jobs.

What I know is that it is not easy to control or help someone that is already an addict and we must try our best to let them know that gambling addiction is something that can be stop with the help of both parties. If a gambler is not ready to stop or too sluggish to put some certains to an end and help to set up a boundary then things is not going to work out well. It is obviously hard for a person to stop gambling when he is already addicted, the best thing to do is to help him reduce the addiction before putting an end to it.

To be honest, I don't know if it's possible to reduce an addiction. A friend of mine, a former gambling addict, once told me that addiction is such a thing that you either have it, or you don't. You can't reduce it. He was cured by a professional, and he has no addiction know, and I'm happy for him, but it's from him that I know that only a good professional can help you to end your addiction.

It is obviously true that there is nothing like minimal addiction or addiction reduction, an addict is an addict and there are no two ways about that since most addicts are all in 100% uncontrollable habits, and to get out of it, the user also need to avoid it and that is what makes the difference, unlike some others who thinks that they can reduce the force gambling addiction on their behavior not realizing the fact that gambling addiction is something that has total control over individual well being.

The best way to treat addictions is total avoidance of gambling or any substance that got you addicted in the first place, take drugs addiction or alcohol addiction for example, once a user is abusing the aforementioned substance, in other to withdraw from it, the user has to take a deliberate pull out and it must be 100% pull out, that way, the user can abstain totally from such endorsement.

The topic of gambling addiction has become prominent in recent time, times all things are equal, and members here adhere to the various warning, then by now there should be able to know that, it is better to avoid gambling addiction because withdrawal from it addiction is almost impossible.

You have a point here. There’s no such thing as reduce addiction especially on gambling which online casino is accessible to everyone. Our mind will keep looking on it once we Are hook on something else. We can take illegal drugs as an example here. There’s no way to reduce addiction as long as the user is exposed to substances since he use as an escape when he feel stress. This is same gambling addiction but the difference is gambling is not illegal which is very hard to control once you get addicted because you have no sense of limitations since that is completely legal.

I think it was also driven by the desire and intention of your friend to stop gambling alias get out of his addiction because it would not be possible only to be professional to stop gambling addiction, I have a friend who is very difficult to stop gambling and get out of his addiction even though he has tried to contact a professional to stop his addiction, even though he is still playing gambling secretly from his heart's desire, it still continues to encourage him to continue playing.

My friend can't seem to control it so even a professional can't completely stop his addiction, although I heard from the success of your friend, luckily your friend has come out of his addiction, gambling addicts are indeed difficult to cure, therefore before playing gambling gamblers must really be able to control themselves before gambling.

I think that only applies when he really has an acute addiction, and it is indeed difficult to control, even for those who have an academic profession when they already have an acute addiction it will be difficult to gamble responsibly, in my opinion the things that can help them are limiting them to all activities that bring them closer to gambling, and diverting their attention to activities that are quite tiring offline, that is probably one of the most effective ways to stop his mind from focusing on gambling.

Gambling is easily accessible today, which is one of the reasons why addicted gamblers easily return to gambling.
My view is why someone stop gambling only when he has no money to gamble and they don't have time to gamble.

It is quite difficult when things are like this, in fact, when a person cannot get out of the addiction, they have to do things apart from what the professional says, keep their mind occupied with other activities, so these types of activities can include studying, sharing other types of things with people  , and that has its good repercussions on Everything , in order to forget about playing, what they have to do is try not to remember what to play, and to get tired, if a person who is very tired is very difficult. It is difficult for him to start playing in a casino, because he has to Concentrate , if a person is Exhausted they will not be able to Play.

Especially the will power of the people is the most important, because people can indulge in casino if they want to and once indulged in casino it is very difficult to get out of it. So you advise your friend as usual and on the other hand or keeping the mental side busy is most important. Here the matter should be looked into because if your friend is facing more losses in the casino then it is better to stay away from the casino for some time. An experienced gambler can advise another gambler to do better. Retirement from gambling or casinos must be done gradually.

That is a nice advice as I have experienced it first hand.When I was addicted in 2020 I kept playing and losing massively until I laid down one day and thought cold headed that I should stop this madness.I didn't do it right away,I started playing a bit less each and every passing week until I gained a huge self control which luckily I still retain nowadays as I rarely overdo it anymore if ever.

So that is the best advice to any addicted gambler,stop gradually because you cannot stop right away,it is plain impossible to do so while you are in full addiction.

You cannot reduce an addiction but you can control the addiction behavior. That would take a lot of willpower and control of the mind to be able to achieve the desired result. I have seen many fellow gamblers who were able to control their addiction, it did not come in a day as it takes some time. It would require an addicted guy to consult with a professional or a group to help an addict control his behavior.

Even professional players need help. A short story that I saw just yesterday.

There is only one poker blogger that I rarely watch. He has 3 children and leads a healthy lifestyle, which attracts me. So he decided to arrange a marathon to earn a certain amount in 20 days. Yesterday he started the last days of the marathon and was closer than ever to the goal to win it, but after spending 11 hours on the stream, he lost everything he had won before in this marathon and went into the red. Even though he has 15 years of professional poker experience. Now he wrote that he needed the help of a psychologist because he could not cope with this. This shows how difficult it is even for professionals with great experience.

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.

You are right, but that arbitrarily can prevent someone from gambling, even with minimal economic conditions, they actually dare to gamble with all the risks. Because gambling is self-responsibility for what they are betting and not blaming other people later when they experience big losses.

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.  

It's not only the effects of gambling, I think everyone who doesn't gamble will feel this because humans have various problems with illnesses that could be the same as what you mentioned.

Matters of self-esteem will be put aside when talking about responsibilities, such as providing for the family even by gambling. Where I live, there are many examples of cases of unemployment, and lack of finances but having a family to live with, willing to sacrifice self-esteem for the people they care about. Even dared to gamble by expecting something big.

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

Do not build any dreams around gambling at all.

Agreed, but specifically for ordinary gamblers who only rely on luck, have no skills, and have no followers, because when the category of gamblers who have skills, has a number of followers where he is famous for being able to make a profit and be successful at gambling.

To be honest, I don't know if it's possible to reduce an addiction. A friend of mine, a former gambling addict, once told me that addiction is such a thing that you either have it, or you don't. You can't reduce it. He was cured by a professional, and he has no addiction know, and I'm happy for him, but it's from him that I know that only a good professional can help you to end your addiction.

You cannot reduce an addiction but you can control the addiction behavior. That would take a lot of willpower and control of the mind to be able to achieve the desired result. I have seen many fellow gamblers who were able to control their addiction, it did not come in a day as it takes some time. It would require an addicted guy to consult with a professional or a group to help an addict control his behavior.

It's also more preferred to make use of a personal precautionary measure to control self interest in gambling before it turns an addiction which may be very difficult to control, when a preventative measures was already in place, there won't be any reason to sought out for an alternative measures to cure since it has been approached right from the beginning such was sensed, in a nut shell, it is better to prevent addiction or a y unhealthy behavior that might come along with our gambling experience before it turns out of hands that we may not be able to control.

Even professional players need help. A short story that I saw just yesterday.

There is only one poker blogger that I rarely watch. He has 3 children and leads a healthy lifestyle, which attracts me. So he decided to arrange a marathon to earn a certain amount in 20 days. Yesterday he started the last days of the marathon and was closer than ever to the goal to win it, but after spending 11 hours on the stream, he lost everything he had won before in this marathon and went into the red. Even though he has 15 years of professional poker experience. Now he wrote that he needed the help of a psychologist because he could not cope with this. This shows how difficult it is even for professionals with great experience.

Anyone will need help, even a professional. Spending 11 hours playing poker must be so tiring he needs a break, even if it's just for a little while. He was risking too much by spending 11 hours even though he was close to his goal, but it was not worth it. And finally, he needed the help of a psychologist to cure him. This proves that, after all, we must take full responsibility for ourselves, especially in playing gambling, where we can continue to be tempted to play. And you give a real example of how someone is tempted to achieve the target he wants in gambling.
