Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting

[RILWAN]

Best form of advice is to quite when you are going too much on a roll, this is because, most at times players think that the ability to chase losses gives Them a chance to recover not knowing that the more you chase after a loss the more you tend to lose more, this is a fundamental truth about gambling losses.

Intentions play an important role, but we are humans and we need stuff to makes us think twice when these intentions are being obfuscated by our own "humanity". Recognizing and acknowledging these tendencies is an essential step in practicing responsible gambling and it is in our hands to use the best resources and share them with others here.

We are only humans and we can't resist things especially it is entertaining and can provide us additional source of income. There is nothing wrong to play gambling but what is only wrong is if you can not stop playing it that it already interferes your life. The stuffs that you mean there must be a distraction to prevent us from playing gambling. There are lots of them. The most common that people on my age group use is online games (video games) like dota 2.

For some it can be watching a movie. It's also a good idea to be productive like find a job which earns you money or plant a crop in your background. This should help us to stay away from gambling. If we have problems with it.

We arent perfect but doesnt mean that we should really play dumb and tolerate things on which we know that it could really put us up on harm. Every aspects in life does really really need up that good decision
making  because we know that once we do miss out on doing that then for sure it would bring out unfortunate ones specially if we do deal up with gambling or betting which it is really just the same.
Just like on what most people been saying that gambling is for fun only, it is really just that people are really that hoping that much about gambling could make them rich or someone who
do really get addicted and doesnt mind already on the money that they are spending which is already beyond their limits which it is something that should really be stopped midway or before its too late.
People do usually learn when they had already experienced those unfortunate stuffs.

This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling?

Most gamblers already know about this philosophy but fail when implementing it because gambling is often out of control.
Players have a budget but often fail to comply with it, especially when the usual casino where he plays is giving tempting promotions even though at that time he has exceeded the budget.
Players often feel the need to quit but losing or even being in a winning position gets in the way because thinking it's not the right time to quit until eventually running out of money is what forces them to quit.
Drugs or drinks are only carried out by heavyweight gamblers and maybe even they are addicts, be they gambling addicts on drugs or liquor.
Not many players dare to admit that they are not doing well because of gambling, maybe because they don't like being advised or being blamed.
There are many things that other people can think about including considering gambling as a way of multiplying money or as a way of earning, anyway thanks for advice.

It’s always not as easy as you just said it but I’ll add these 3 (even if it may not work)


1) have a hustle that gives you money outside gambling, most gambling addicts are people who literally depend on it to earn a living, so they gamble like their lives depend on it

2) Don’t gamble every game you see, some people plays every bet that comes their way,  relying on hope/faith to make it boom, making them spend extravagantly on gambling

3) Work on your mind, if 3k is your budget for gambling, do not exceed it for any reason, with that, you’ll have a minimal expense on gambling

Silence, which means leaving the casino in person or offline, is the best way to quit the game, aka taking a break or taking a break so as not to continue playing and spend all the remaining money. most people will continue to play the game because they are still in the casino, so they will continue to be tempted to try again to chase their previous losses.

I often do this silently and don't talk much when I lose and then leave the online casino and then do other activities so I don't have a feeling of desire to continue the previous gambling game because I experienced defeat. but really don't ever try to continue the game if you feel you have lost a lot because it will continue to drain our money until it runs out.

Sorry, buddy, but it's not that easy to do because when you experience defeat and leave the gambling site, someone will keep thinking about their defeat and can't feel any information at all, even when they want to rest to sleep, it's difficult because in their minds there is only a certain amount of money lost because of losing and then there will be a desire to return to playing and get some money so that the defeat can recover a little.
I can speak like this because of my own personal experience when I was unlucky and suffered a big loss.

If you can do that, that's a good thing because not all gamblers are able to do this, even I myself, who has had a lot of bitter experience in gambling, sometimes it's always difficult to do that.

But it's very hard to do if you're gambling alone. After all, in this case, it always seems that you are about to get rid of. And victory awaits around the corner - but no, and another loss comes.
Therefore, in such cases, I advise you to be in touch with family or friends. Any situation is always better seen from the outside, and they will always say if there were enough losses for today.

If there is no opportunity to be not alone, then it is better to know your maximum loss level for today in advance.

Recognizing and acknowledging these tendencies is an essential step in practicing responsible gambling and it is in our hands to use the best resources and share them with others here.

I guess you are right, intention is a big factor when starting yourself in participating in this kind of activities, the way you handle that intention will reflect in every action that you are taking, if you can continue limiting or focusing yourself without exceeding from that intention then sharing the best practice will be usable.

This information on how to completely limit yourself with that intention can be used as a basis and for sure, many people will benefit as
it can prevent addictions if being practice in the right ways.

It's pretty difficult to teach addicts what's the right way to use such information that can help them, most of the time, they don't even consider themselves to be in a problem and they think they are just gambling and having fun which is basically just an initial display of how gambling addiction begins without the addict noticing how deep they've fallen in this will.

The intention of a gambler in general is to win a lot of money, and in pursuit of that, they become addicted, and instead of winning anything, they gamble away everything they ever had in their lives without even regretting it.

There have been many examples when a gambler has no limits when playing gambling to become bankrupt, and that is a lesson for us to always remember that we must apply good management of our finances while playing. I am also a bit of a gambler in that I only play with money that I am prepared to lose. I'm thankful I can suppress my urges when I want to gamble but I don't have extra money to play with. The reason is if I force myself to play it will disrupt my financial flow in the end. So I do my best to control myself when I don't have money to play with.

It's good if we know that gambling is just fun and we don't have to pursue that pleasure to the point of spending a lot of money. And when we realize that we are only playing with money, we are ready to lose and will not chase to win because we know it is not easy to get. And I agree that we must have good self-control to avoid being tempted by the many casino games. We must limit ourselves to gambling so that we are not affected by gambling where we can experience gambling addiction.

From most of the people I ask, especially in my environment, they have a foundation of understanding about gambling is only limited to pleasure, they understand the gambling budget restrictions and when I ask whether you really do the principle completely or not, and 9 people out of 10 people What I asked about it was very difficult to control when their gambling game almost got a victory at the end of the balance they had, it made a gambler have more ambitions and destroyed the principle he had built before, self -control was very important as a gambler because of that Having a function to suppress unreasonable ambitions that can kill themselves when in gambling, health/logic awareness is needed to hold fast to its principle.

Maybe some are realizing things after suffering with huge losses, but I see your point that there are people or gamblers who can accept the defeats and consider that they are just enjoying and they will continue to proceed in pursuing the chance of hitting the jackpot or making huge amount in winning the games that they are playing.

Those are things that also needed to consider, gambler who are still in the denial stage will go deeper and engage more with gambling.

Without the acceptance and self-will expect them to lose more and more until they already emptied their financial savings.

I totally agree with what you said that gambling is just fun that should be done without spending too much money and avoiding chasing defeats.
Actually it's quite easy to gamble responsibly, but people think too much of gambling as a place to multiply money and always expect to win.
Even though this gambling is like a game where there are always wins and loses without having to win continuously, gamblers ignore this problem.

It's actually not easy to gamble responsibly, and only those who gamble responsibly themselves can say such a thing. It is just like if there is a pro gamer who always wins in any game, he says that it is easy to win while all other gamers who are average will never feel the same way because it is not easy for them and it is looking easy for the pro gamer because he knows how things are done better.

So for most gamblers, it is not easy to gamble responsibly and they forget everything once they start losing except the thought that they have to get back what they've lost and with that thought, they lose even more. Hence, it is not easy to gamble responsibly.

Quiting is almost an Impossible task, most especially for somebody who have become addicted to the game, and also have mastered the act of chasing after loses..

But then, for those who are not addicts, the act of gambling and going too much in a roll is already a sign of addiction, such will definitely need the help of maybe family or friends to come out from The addiction immediately or else. It could get really messy.

Well, in gambling, the more one gambles, the more the person has a desire to play more, with the thought that every time you fail to gamble again, it is the right opportunity to gamble and win. It goes on and on in the person's mind, and it's left for the person to decide within himself or herself if to stop or not because they are losing so hard. It can be very easy to chase losses because when you want to stop, you will have that inner voice say to you, "Don't leave now; you might win this next round; try this last time." It only takes one who is so self-disciplined and exercises self-control to make the decision to stop when winning seems so tough.

Gambling should indeed be considered as a form of entertainment rather than an investment strategy. It's akin to paying for a movie ticket; you pay for the thrill and experience, and not because you expect a financial return. Your mention of self-control is crucial. It's like the anchor that keeps a ship from drifting in the tempest of emotions that gambling can stir.

However, there's an inherent psychological aspect at play in gambling which you've pointed out: the near-miss effect. This phenomenon can lead to distorted thinking where a gambler might start to believe they're getting closer to winning, causing them to bet more aggressively. This is where responsible gambling measures, like setting loss limits, can be crucial.

Let me draw upon the Martingale strategy, a well-known betting system used in games of chance. It suggests doubling your bet after every loss, which sounds appealing because it seems that a win would recover all previous losses. But this could also lead to exponential growth in betting amounts, making it risky and potentially catastrophic in a long losing streak.

Motivate yourself when you think things aren't going well with you again in gambling, try to pause a little to cross-check and do an overall assessment on yourself on recent success you might have been through while gambling, opportunities you have missed and weigh them to each other, take a review on your lifestyle entirely, try to define your category of gamblers and reposition yourself to the best way expected for a positive results, gambling is not to frustrate but rather to have and create fun through it.

Not everyone can motivate themselves to stop gambling as many people always think, their next bet will be the breakthrough. People are very hopeful of gambling because they heard and some see people winning and they think they can be the next to win.

Gambling gets very addictive because it gives hope of having a good life. Having a gambling account can stop gamblers from over gambling, when money in that account has been exhausted, they can stop gambling for the day or the week.

But as a gambler, you have to watch yourself and take care of yourself because nobody will do that for you, only you can tell yourself when you're going a bit far with your bets and you should stop without waiting on anybody to stop you.

[iv4n]

Every real gambler "goes too far" from time to time... It's a game full of ups and downs, we know it, but we still get that urge to push from time to time. It's gambling and it's the excitement we are looking for.

But it's fun & games as long as we are playing with the amount we can afford to lose. Spending more than that leads to problems...

This is a straight-up fact and it seems you understand so much about crypto gambling and online casinos but why is someone like you promoting 1xbit? A casino that have cheated the heck out of people with few genuine prove, why are you still selling your dignity for few dollars per week?

Do you believe that someone who understands the trust rating on this forum will listen to anything you have to say? It seems you don't understand what a red flag means for your profile,  it means even if you are saying all the right things in the world, you have a deep dark side of you that shouldn't be trusted.

That is the sign of a gambling addict. If things like these keep popping up in your mind:

"Play one more session."
"You will surely win this time."
"You can't lose all the time, this time you will surely manage to win something big and recover everything."

It simply means that you have become addicted to gambling and that is the urge which is keeping you restless and wants you to gamble more even though there is no guarantee that you will actually win but your mind will keep saying that to you so that you do it.

Only by reading the sayings above I can already feel my heart beating faster...
I think every gambler has already heared that inner voice saying such things during a decisive moment of a gambling session where they had two alternatives: to give up, or to go all in a desperate attempt of recovering the accumulated losses.

I believe it's normal to feel tempted to do so, although what really configures you being an addicted gambler or not is what you decide to do after hearing those voices. If you are still able to ignore them, then you are fine. On the other hand, if they are stronger than you, I think it's time to seek for third party help and advice.
