I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less

[Docnaster]

I am not a gambling addict but some friends are making me look like one because I gamble less and they gamble more,

Gambling less is good as you are not exposed to the game all the time and your portfolio is saved. However, gambling less may guarantee that you may lose less but it will not guarantee that you will win. Think of a situation where one person who gambles less and keeps on losing more games, will he be in profit, Never. He may be facing bad luck and since he gambles less, he loses less money as compared to if he had been addicted and lost everything.

Sometimes a person is having good luck and even being an addicted gambler, he keeps on winning most of the games. Again this does not happen often but there is a probability of this situation too.

If I talk about a gambler whose motive is not only money but who likes and tries to enjoy gambling then we would agree that those gamblers try to gamble less. This allows them to minimize their losses and manage long-term gambling. Both profit and loss in gambling depend on luck so it is not possible to say which type of gambler will be more profitable. However, people who gamble less always try to take less risk, so their profits will not be as high. But among those who are willing to take the risk, there is also a very rapid change. If they are lucky they can get good money in short time and if bad they will run out of money too. A gambler's financial situation will depend on how he gambles.

gambling less is the best way to gamble as it'll give you room to engage yourself in things that'll help provide you with money while gambling frequently is more likely to make a person a gambling addict thereby making him to leave most of his life as poor gambling addict.
It's absolutely not good for one to allow pressure from other gamblers who always gambling to him join them and become frequent gamblers as it is likely to ruin the person's life.

Indeed, investing in crypto is less risky than putting your money into gambling. Gambling relies purely on luck, as you mentioned whereas trading allows for better control over potential losses. Even in the worst-case scenario of trading you wouldn't necessarily lose all your money, but it might decrease.

To be safe in gambling you need to be wise and know exactly when to stop. It's important aswell not to exceed a limit of money you set before even starting to bet. Obviously, if you gamble less you'll lose less in the worst cases. Therefore, it's better to minimize your gambling activities but when you do gamble make sure you have a good chance to win.

If they understand it, they prefer investing in less risky cryptos rather than gambling. They can see the value of their investment will increase when the market starts to move upwards, so they can start taking profits. And this will divert their attention to gambling because they will be busy analyzing how much profit they want to make.

But in gambling, if they lose, they really lose their money and will find it difficult to recover their losses. But if they can control themselves so they don't cross the line, they won't experience a bigger defeat. They can also gamble moderately and enjoy gambling properly.

I think the case is often so as described in the quotes for gamblers who thinks it's by there efforts or how knowledgeable they are to the games. In that instance, they seem to eliminate the element of luck, take huge risks or high odds and expect huge rewards as well.

Many times over they end up worst than they started but the little thing called hope pulls them back to it everytime.

Of course there could be such a thing as how knowledgeable you are when it comes to sportsbook but, not so much when it comes to casino games and even still, there is an element of luck about the games. That puts the probability statement in the way which means, you've got to be careful about the habits you endulge in while gambling.

That's because they think the hope of winning will always be there and call them to gamble again. That's what makes them return to gambling and still want to win. And even if they can't win this time, they will return a few days later and play another gambling game. They still feel they can win one day so they will spend the same money another day.

And if they want to bet on sports betting, they realize the need for knowledge to analyze matches to find the team that can win. This makes them continue to learn to analyze from various sources, but they also realize that the luck factor is still needed in gambling games.

Less exposure to gambling means fewer losses or wins because you don't play much on it and you just gamble for fun because that is a low chance that you won't get addicted and will have full control of yourself. I also gamble rarely so I do belong to people who are not willing to risk money. It is true that there are times that you regret not spending much time gambling because of the possibility of winning but that kind of risk is good because I do prefer staying in my comfort zone when it comes to gambling than losing money.

For me these days, I do wish I could gamble more instead of spending frivolously and indulging in cheap entertainment that cost me my funds, time and attention. Most times I don't get as much thrill and fun like when I gamble and have my blood pumping or emotions raving, but I know the importance of control and the need to instead save or reinvest my funds to solve a better need.
Investment is in the form of HODLing BTC as I have always said and perhaps in knowledge of trading and real world skill, hence why I heed to forming better money consumption habits than gambling which is easily addictive.

We all know that gambling can be a source of fun and entertainment but it never guarantees profits like investment do. That is why if we want to be more practical, we should invest more and gamble less, as we can’t easily leave gambling especially if it already become a hobby. Furthermore, gambling can still bring us profits as long as we only gamble on the amount we can afford to lose, but as much as we want to gamble, investment on the other hand should be more prioritize.

The gambler who do gambling as the full time job,he should hold the big capital for the game.Because the continuous win is not guaranteed for the gambler,So the alternative game win also should not affect his complete game.With my strategy,if the gambler win the five of ten game in the dice will be enough for them to get away from the over all loss.Actually he will have nearly 200 dollars additional in the ten games after investing of the 1000 dollars in the gambling.Because in the end of ten game,he will have 200 as the profit.

Having a big money bag in the capital is not a guarantee to making profits in gambling and at that one should not take the availability of money as being a conviction of choosing gambling as a mean of making income and anyone having such a mentality will only lead the gambler into losing all the money trying to chase the winning since he does have a target to be met.
There is no also an assurance that you win 5 out of 10 games because the casino is also made to be an advantage over the gambler which makes winning a chance slim.

Less exposure to gambling contrarily doesn't mean less loss because the few times you get exposed it's very possible you stake so Large than some one who consistently get exposed to the game, it's very possible someone could consistently stay exposed to the game and yet loose less than you who hardly get exposed to the casino often.

This is possibly because you risk so much than they do regardless of how often you visit the casino. But your only advantage is that you less prone to become addicted as compared to those who often visit the casino but then with time if you become too consistent visiting you can gradually build the addiction unknowingly to you, but then it's true less exposure can possibly mean less loss but doesn't guarantee wins aswell.

Less exposure doesn't usually mean less gambling loss, right? Even with occasional visits, it's a complicated situation with high stakes. Gambling doesn't consider frequency of play, which is fascinating. Whether you gamble daily or once-in-a-blue-moon, loss is always possible

You raised an important addiction issue. It's insidious and can take hold without your knowledge. Yes, less frequent visits may initially protect you from addiction, but exposure increases the danger. That's a hard balance, right?

Talk about successes and losses. Reduced exposure may reduce loss, but it doesn't ensure more gains. Every gambler, frequent or not, must remember that the house always wins. Every decision and bet must be carefully considered in this environment. The key is to bet wisely, not just often

It is better to limit gambling than to use more money to gamble because there is no guarantee that we can win easily from gambling. Gambling is not a place to make money; that is what people must understand so that they do not try hard to win their gambling games. We are the ones who have to prevent losing when playing gambling and if we use a lot of money, we will see that we still have a lot of that money and we will be triggered to play more gambling games.

And by limiting gambling activities, we can also prevent more losses so that we will not use more money to gamble. Apart from that, we also don't know whether we can win five times out of ten rounds because we will only find out after we finish gambling.

You don't need to spend a lot of time gambling, lots of new casinos arrive every day so don't worry about not being able to play, just play in your free time so you don't waste too much time and money because of gambling, always remember that gambling always requires luck which we never know in what casino we will win and in what game we will win.

Yes, you are right that reducing gambling activities can help us prevent addiction and bigger losses. We can use our money for hobbies or other activities, so we don't spend all our money on gambling. Moreover, by reducing gambling we can have more time for family too. and it is indeed a safe way to avoid it all, so gamble wisely and responsibly because it is very important.

Gambling restriction? That knowledge appears to permeate those phrases, especially when discussing chance and risk. Gambling is a siren. It sings a song of wealth and success, hiding the stormy seas ahead. In the gambling realm, "maybe this time" and "just one more try" constantly urge players to spin, roll, and bet.

The problem is that luck and chance can change at any time. Your smart counsel to restrict gambling is a lighthouse in stormy waters, but ships must be navigated carefully. Balance, where one may appreciate the wager without becoming enchanted, is the key, right?

Well but it is difficult to run many gambling sites at once because not all sites guarantee the same win and they have different playing styles. If the money comes from professional bettors for big capital you want to bet with money because it is considered sharp or smart money it requires a lot of skill. If the money comes from average joes who are betting for fun you want to be against the money because it is considered public investing is a better decision than gambling.

Though it's true that less exposure makes someone get fewer wins and losses, the amount lost doesn't really depend on the exposure but it's all dependent on the amount one is using for their bets. A person might gamble only for one hour once a week but place very high bets and lose a lot of money, whereas another person might gamble two hours a day for the whole week but lose less money because they place relatively smaller bets than the other guy.

So, it's not just the exposure one needs to take care of, it's also about how they handle their budget and the amount they usually bet on a single round or spin because no matter how much time you are spending in the casino if you are losing a lot of money, that's the biggest concern for you as time can always be reduced.

Less exposure will only mean less loss if you are also betting at a minimal capital. But if you bet one time big time, then expect that you will still end up with a huge loss even if the exposure is very less. So regardless if you are a full time or a part time gambler, your losses will only depend on your betting amount. You bet high, you lose big, and wins big as well. But if you bet low, you also lose and win at a small basis.

Indeed, we should not need to spend a lot of time gambling, especially since we still have a lot of time to gamble and can also visit the casino whenever we want. But the problem is that these gamblers don't realize it and will visit the casino too often because they want to get bigger wins. That's normal because gambling provides a big temptation to gamblers, making them return to the casino and gamble.

Only reducing gambling activities can help us from gambling addiction problems and bigger losses. Hopefully, we will not experience serious problems like that so that we can still enjoy gambling as one of the entertainment that we like. We can also enjoy our free time by doing other things and you have given good advice about spending time with family so that our lives are balanced.

The problem is that luck and chance can change at any time. Your smart counsel to restrict gambling is a lighthouse in stormy waters, but ships must be navigated carefully. Balance, where one may appreciate the wager without becoming enchanted, is the key, right?

That is why we really need restrictions on gambling so that the songs of gambling do not tempt us and we can use gambling properly. That's what we need to pay attention to when playing gambling so that serious things don't happen that have happened to other gamblers and we can still gamble safely and comfortably.

And don't think too much about luck and let luck come to you at the right time. Only with restrictions on gambling can we do so that we can still enjoy gambling and will not be tempted by the many offers from casinos. We also need to take care of ourselves while gambling and avoid losing a lot.

Another thing to consider is that some sites might have a fee for deposit or withdrawal, so if you have multiple accounts, then you might end up paying a lot in fees.

At the end of the day the math is the same in one or multiple sites.

It would really be just the same;

Active gambling - Less amount used
Seldom gambling- Huge amount used

So its indeed true that it wont really be that much difference because it would really be entirely be depending or basing up on the amount that you've been using no matter how
often or seldom you do deal with gambling. Its never been considered to be safe on making yourself dealing with something which we know that risks is really that indeed higher
compared into other things like investment or trading. THere's no such thing that fits out if we do speak about gambling.

This is really just that for fun but it turns out that people do really go into a certain extent on which it is really that resulting into things which we arent that anticipated for it to happen.
Its just common that people would be making out realizations on the time that they would be experiencing unfortunate events.

Very much agree with this.

In order to be safe from falling to addiction, you have a lot of factors to consider such as having a specific budget intended for gambling, specific time to play or bet, and having self-control in general. You must have a goal in mind the moment you enter gambling. If you are in it for entertainment, you can have fun as much as you want and as long as you are responsible enough for your actions and for the consequences of it. And the moment you feel like you are straying far away, you should reassess your values and priorities to keep in track.
