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

[Shamm]

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?

Being in the right frame of mind can be key and not just thinking in terms of intoxicants. If you are angry or feeling rushed, it can effect how you decide to play, especially in games like poker which can require the utmost patience. If you fall into tilted behavior during the game you should be able to identify it and pull back or simply decide that you will leave the game. Identifying how long you can gamble for without losing concentration is a good idea as well, if you think you're on a winning streak in your first 2 hours of play - it can be true - but then get tired and hand it all back plus extra, then the whole session was net negative, which can be damaging on your long term earning potential.

I believe it is never going to be a problem if people take 100% accountability and controls their own mind. First of all, people should understand that gambling is for crazy rich people. It is not a way of earning. Secondly, if you were losing, just don't do it. There are a lot of people who actually are good at it. They see their own cards and predict which card their opponent has looking at the moves they make. But not everyone is like that. A lot of people just put their money on the line and try to get some more money out of it without even knowing anything about gambling. if you are losing, just stop gambling. And if you are winning, are you actually at net positive?

I guess when we start gambling, we should have the right mind set.
But as a newbie, it's very difficult to do that, that's why majority feel into that deep coma of becoming an addicted gambler and can't get out.
It will really take a lot of psychological stimulus to quit, let's say you lose a job, or worst, family breaking up because of your addiction or suddenly you decided to change prioritized in life.
So very difficult and even if you stop, there could be tendencies as in other addiction for a relapse and then you go back to gambling again.

Some newbies fall into addicted because they don't have guide or else they will spontaneous in their works and that's the reason why they will got into addiction. Also they don't have discipline and self control . Cause the main way to avoid addiction is you must have self control you will set your mind into a good one you don't need to act like a pro but you need to control yourself cause by doing that you will be far from addiction.

They simply have preconceived ideas about gambling that are all wrong, they simply believe what they read on social media thinking they can make money with gambling, and when they realize this is not what is happening to them they get mad and keep betting thinking that at some point their luck will change, but when it does not they get desperate trying to recover the money they have lost, and at that point it is likely an addiction is already developing as they cannot stop playing, as doing so will mean that they were mistaken from the beginning, and very few people can admit their mistakes that easily.

Some gamblers have the tendency to completely stop their gambling if they lose a considerable amount of money that they needed at that time but don't have it in the present time due to that loss. It is advisable that when a gambler sees that he is losing and has lost 10-20% of his total bankroll already, he should stop there and come back later, not to try and recover it, instead play for fun because they have at least some bankroll remaining. This should be the main agenda of a gambler.

Doesnt really need a guide since you could really be able to find on yourself on what are the things that you are currently doing and its impossible that you cant really be able to notice out if you are already going
on the wrong path or something that do talks about bad decisioning towards your gambling activity. Its really impossible that you wont really be able to notice it out. Getting addicted with gambling is something that a very common scenario or condition on which most gamblers do really suffer out specially if they are really that having no control towards their spending and having those beliefs in mind that
gambling could really make them rich.

Dont make yourself come into a point on which you are really that making  yourself that addicted because sooner or later it would really be bringing up that huge effect or devastation
when it comes into your finances. It would really be just that right or wise thing to be done is on how you should really be stopping midway specially if you have
noticed that you are already spending up more than as usual or beyond your limits which it is a solid indication that you are really that addicted with it.

This should be the main agenda of a gambler.

But some gamblers even almost all gamblers find it difficult to do this and they tend to play until the money they have deposited runs out there are even those who continue the gambling session even though the money they have deposited runs out they will re-deposit some money to keep playing and catch up on what they have be the goal.

It is always necessary to remember that giving direction or advice to people like that is very difficult because they can also have a high temperament or emotions so that we will also be the ones who have problems with him because he they do not want to accept the advice.
The most dominant factor in being able to change or stop a step when gambling is wrong is the gambler own will and the will will come when the gambler is aware of all the risks and impacts that will occur if he loses quite a lot of money.

For example I know a friend who is also a heavy gambler and every time he receives a salary from work he always uses 30% to gamble but when that amount is lost he comes back with a new deposit transaction so now there is one thing that makes him aware about the importance of control when gambling namely that he is in debt and cannot resolve it quickly.

Many people have misconceptions about gambling, often fueled by social media. When losses occur, some try to chase their luck in a popular game, potentially leading to addiction. Responsible gambling involves setting limits and knowing when to stop, even if it means playing for fun with what's left of your bankroll. Self-awareness of the risks is crucial.

So, these are the things that a gamblers must pay attention to, gamble according to your ability, not according to your will. It is very difficult to manage finances if we are gambling because feelings are difficult to control if we are already playing. It's natural that if we experience defeat, we will definitely be emotional because we have spent money that we didn't succeed in winning, but don't turn that emotion into an ambition to continue chasing defeat because it will make you lose even more.

Gambling is just a matter of luck, never think of gambling as a source of income because gambling is just a place for entertainment and don't force your will too much beyond our abilities, this will be an encouragement to avoid things that are detrimental to yourself.

Whenever I am playing in a casino, whether it is my favorite or not, I always bet according to my ability, I am not going to bet everything, and when I am in casinos that are not online, if I feel like betting with more money, because I see people who bet almost double or triple what I bet, so I feel bad seeing them that they have so much money to bet, and I don't have that ability, but that's all I have, I can't match them because I can't I have the money tickets that they have, when I am in my favorite casino I bet little because no one sees me, so I don't feel sorry, but we should bet according to the capacity we have, not more than what we have, It would be making very bad moves.

Yes, it's better that way, don't occasionally gamble with borrowed money, if you don't have the ability to gamble, you should take a break and not engage in gambling activities. There are many people out there who are determined to gamble with borrowed money and with confidence and optimism they thinks they will be able to wins the gambling, but instead of being able to win, they continue to experience losses because all they want is to be able to win from the gambling and usually They will continue to carry out gambling activities so that without realizing they have fallen too far into gambling and they only realize it when their borrowed money has accumulated a lot this will be very detrimental.

Yes, when a gambler knows and is self-aware of the risks involved in gambling, of course he knows how to gamble correctly, namely by limiting each budget and also playing wisely, including using the mindset of gambling just to have fun, a mindset like that will not make us become Curious when we experience defeat, we know when to stop gambling within the budget limits that have been set.

Another factor is that sometimes many gamblers don't really understand the risks that are in their minds that gambling will always result in winning so they continue to be obsessed with winning and being able to chase their losses but in fact this actually leads them to become addicts, that's why people Those who gamble without limits will definitely end up becoming addicts.

Frustration can bring that aggressiveness inside you, and from that your eagerness to win or recover those money that you already lost will keep you bringing more deposit to the house, which for sure the gambling site will let you experience some win, but along the way greed and aggressiveness are something that will push you and lead to a much deeper addiction.

You need to have that control and set of limitation which will be used as your protection not to lead you to exceed that much while
betting on.

It is their own fault that they did not find out about gambling but immediately registered themselves in a casino and played many gambling games. They chase wins by playing gambling games using lots of money. They don't realize that this will only trigger more losses but they don't want to stop if they haven't won. And many of them don't stop even though they have won. For this reason, we must try to be responsible gamblers so that we don't lose a lot of money when gambling and avoid gambling addiction problems. Only self-control can prevent us from going too deep into gambling and reduce the losses we will receive.

That's why everyone should be responsible for their actions. Social media becomes a way to attract new gamblers, without having any knowledge or experience, they will start gambling and do the same thing as the one they saw on social media. This will become their beginning to having more losses as they will continue to play and apply different tricks in gambling and hope to win.

Well, I personally believe that there is no way some one will just wake up one morning, get online and register him or her self on a casinos and start gambling right away, it's unheard of and practically impossible if as I said.

Every gambler today will tell you they didn't all of a sudden started gambling, they either were introduced to gambling by someone, or they themselves have hug around gamblers for a while, learnt some minor or major things about gambling and after awhile, they decided to try it out..
I've never heard or seen someone who just woke up one morning and then registered him or her self to gambling without first know what gambling is all about.

People rarely wake up and start gambling without a push, pull, or nudge from others.

Gambling is a learned phenomenon, for sure. Before entering this, people learn about the thrills, perils, and techniques. They're introduced by friends or hang out in forums, chats, and communities, soaking up the stories, successes, defeats, and enthusiasm before diving in.

As always, knowledge rules. Learning the ropes, regulations, and risks and rewards is good. Thus, their gaming experience is about choice, control, and fun, not just chance! Let's keep it happy and healthy.

Budgeting and taking breaks during stressful gambling sessions is the key to having fun and not harming your mental health in the long run

Budgeting and taking breaks during stressful gambling sessions is the key to having fun and not harming your mental health in the long run

And with that strategy of taking breaks, many gamblers forget to do that even if they follow and set the budget right. Once they're at it, it's hard to stop and that's making them hard to stop because when they start enjoying the game or start to focus on it, no one seems to stop them.
When the game is tough and it's just all about losses, you can't even stop them because they all have the same thing on their minds and that's to keep going and never stop at all. Until they recover losses, they are going to keep on chasing those losses until they will notice or when they don't have money left anymore to keep going. ANd that's why many gamblers are going far than they're expecting.

If you are a complete newbie or new into gambling field then most likely you have seen this stuff whether on online ads, refer by a friend or articles which you do able to see while you do hover.
People would be most likely be interested on things on which it could make them easy and fast money which we know that it is really that possible with gambling. On the time that you would really be testing it up
then you would be having those impressions that it would be easy specially if you have started on a win then impressions would really be somewhat be boost up and this is why it would really be that resulting
into severe engagement which would lead into addiction.

On the time that you are on such condition then its already too late and you have already made out that damage which is something that you should really have done earlier
on trying to avoid it out because if you dont then for sure these kind of situation are mostly be that experienced and it is really that something unfortunate.

Being indecisiveis also another form of addiction because before setting up your gambling budget,  you must also set up some timing as when take a break from gambling and when you continue to gamble,  this is one thing that a lot of us need to settle with at every given time and space,  when I was overly involved in gambling although not addicted,  I found out one weak point about me that is if I open the casino and stay on it I will fine reason to play more games,  even if I want to just spend sometime surfing the casino.

So since I discovered that weak point,  I have decided to close my casino page once I am done exusting my set time.

We all know that. Not only in gambling but in simple living having a budget. It's very difficult and challenging to follow a simlpe budget for a week. Wat more when you have it on your gambling while being on the edge of your emotions getting hyped up. Recognizing that gambling should be a form of entertainment rather than a way to generate income is key. Those who can stay within their limits and view gambling as a recreational activity are indeed in a better position than those who don't. It's important for individuals to prioritize their financial well-being and not let the desire for quick gains cloud their judgment.

You need to follow the rules that you have made so that you can follow the budget that you have prepared for gambling. That means you have to be really strict in using your budget for gambling. Only with practice will you be able to suppress the mounting emotions and realize that gambling is part of entertainment. And if you feel that you are a little far from the rules you have set, you should be able to stop and rest. Getting out of the house and breathing fresh air is one way to calm your mounting emotions so you won't return to gambling for a while until your emotions have subsided. And it is true that we must prioritize our financial well-being rather than using the money to gamble so that we don't run out of money to meet our living needs.

So, these are the things that a gamblers must pay attention to, gamble according to your ability, not according to your will. It is very difficult to manage finances if we are gambling because feelings are difficult to control if we are already playing. It's natural that if we experience defeat, we will definitely be emotional because we have spent money that we didn't succeed in winning, but don't turn that emotion into an ambition to continue chasing defeat because it will make you lose even more.

Gambling is just a matter of luck, never think of gambling as a source of income because gambling is just a place for entertainment and don't force your will too much beyond our abilities, this will be an encouragement to avoid things that are detrimental to yourself.

Whenever I am playing in a casino, whether it is my favorite or not, I always bet according to my ability, I am not going to bet everything, and when I am in casinos that are not online, if I feel like betting with more money, because I see people who bet almost double or triple what I bet, so I feel bad seeing them that they have so much money to bet, and I don't have that ability, but that's all I have, I can't match them because I can't I have the money tickets that they have, when I am in my favorite casino I bet little because no one sees me, so I don't feel sorry, but we should bet according to the capacity we have, not more than what we have, It would be making very bad moves.

Betting amount never plays a major role in gambling. Gambling should not be done with the intention of being able to follow and have the possibility of any guaranteed profit. In this case there is a possibility of losing. One can win multiples of his money in bets but should never follow. Because the luck that was in his bet may not be in my case. Keep in mind that I have to bet with the money I have and rely on analysis and luck in my quest otherwise I increase my chances of losing. Regardless of whether we win or lose a bet, we must increase our awareness of how to bet better in the future.

To add to those:

In addition to setting a budget, you should allocate a specific amount of time for gambling activities. This will prevent extended gambling habit that could potentially lead to fatigue and really bad impulsive decisions. Also, make sure you track your betting history. Maintaining a record of your gambling activities (both wins and losses) can help you learn better about your betting patterns and check whether you're staying within your budget.

Take the time to understand the games you are about to play/are playing. Because knowing the rules, the odds, and the strategies can make it more fun and even improve your chances of making better calls.

Most gambling platforms offer self-exclusion features that allow you to voluntarily restrict your access to their services for a specified period. Make use of it if you think you're going "a bit far".

Best Wishes!

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?

Being in the right frame of mind can be key and not just thinking in terms of intoxicants. If you are angry or feeling rushed, it can effect how you decide to play, especially in games like poker which can require the utmost patience. If you fall into tilted behavior during the game you should be able to identify it and pull back or simply decide that you will leave the game. Identifying how long you can gamble for without losing concentration is a good idea as well, if you think you're on a winning streak in your first 2 hours of play - it can be true - but then get tired and hand it all back plus extra, then the whole session was net negative, which can be damaging on your long term earning potential.

I believe it is never going to be a problem if people take 100% accountability and controls their own mind. First of all, people should understand that gambling is for crazy rich people. It is not a way of earning. Secondly, if you were losing, just don't do it. There are a lot of people who actually are good at it. They see their own cards and predict which card their opponent has looking at the moves they make. But not everyone is like that. A lot of people just put their money on the line and try to get some more money out of it without even knowing anything about gambling. if you are losing, just stop gambling. And if you are winning, are you actually at net positive?

I guess when we start gambling, we should have the right mind set.
But as a newbie, it's very difficult to do that, that's why majority feel into that deep coma of becoming an addicted gambler and can't get out.
It will really take a lot of psychological stimulus to quit, let's say you lose a job, or worst, family breaking up because of your addiction or suddenly you decided to change prioritized in life.
So very difficult and even if you stop, there could be tendencies as in other addiction for a relapse and then you go back to gambling again.

Some newbies fall into addicted because they don't have guide or else they will spontaneous in their works and that's the reason why they will got into addiction. Also they don't have discipline and self control . Cause the main way to avoid addiction is you must have self control you will set your mind into a good one you don't need to act like a pro but you need to control yourself cause by doing that you will be far from addiction.

I like it because you say many keys, discipline, self-control, for me that is the management of everyone in a casino, when we enter a casino we must consider those things, newbies especially when they enter a casino for the first time, Your thoughts can be of excitement, fear, of many things, at the same time it can be very positive, because it is the first time that you will see so many games and that you can play them all if you want, where obviously you will have a lot of faith in winning, it has happened that when you enter A newbie in a casino does not know what to play or how to do it, so he proceeds to observe, which is a very good technique, and for that, different things are done, when the person already feels safe he simply decides to play. something, at least when I entered a physical casino it was like this, and with all the fear in the world because I played roulette, others may decide to play a slot machine or any other game that catches their attention, this is basically a matter of luck, also if it starts A player at roulette may like it because he experiences another type of feeling and may make it appear to him that that is what he likes, and he begins to bet and bet, making his money little by little go away, and that is where The first problem begins because when you bet a lot you can go too far and if you don't have adequate control you can spend all the money at once.


These types of things are what we as players must avoid, because the first thing we must control is our balance management because without money nothing is done, and that is what we as conscious people must consider, the second thing that comes in is the autocontrol, because without self-control everything can go to waste, it may be that the case is that you are winning a lot, you have a good profit and you start to lose, the mistake is always in betting a lot on each loss, because that's how it is As the balance begins to go down quickly, it is incredible but to make a profit it takes time, but to lose it is all at once.
