Gambling should be play with care

[passwordnow]

We do always get a lot of that reminders but we have no idea if many of the readers do follow that are experiencing severe gambling. And a gambler will always be aware of how much he starts to gamble but when the feeling is intense, he'll never know how much he's been losing because his mind is also losing because of the emotional trigger that gambling gives to anyone. So you get the idea of those gamblers that are reminded but then, still forgets to follow these tips.

In my opinion, it is actually worse if a gambler who is addicted continues to keep track of his losses and chases them, because that encourages him to further gamble to recover all that money and also can translate to severe problems at a mental level, like depression, anxiety and feelings of loneliness.

If one is addicted to gambling, the best course of action is to forget about that money and seek professional help before it gets even worse. Having family who cares about them also helps a lot.

And we know that a gambler that chases his losses will end up with a bad result. Too many stories that have been told that each gambler that won't stop will have the same ending as the others that have ended with a failure and disappointment. I think every gambler is aware of that if they won't stop but, it just so happen that stopping is a hard thing to do when you're attached and invested to your activity and had dedicated a lot of time on it.

That's no longer part of our problem I guess. There's no need to force them to be responsible. That's their money and they have full responsibility of it. It is just tiring to see them cry and regret things once they reach the bottom, then blaming other people why such thing happened. Sometimes a lesson learned would be a bit expensive.

Yes, although we don't have anything to do with it and that's their own personal issue and responsibility. But sometimes we also have that feeling that we need to give them some care if they're doing the wrong thing and it's visible in our naked eyes. But you're right that if the same thing keeps on happening again and again and there's no improvement, much better to just leave it there.

If we planned our gambling bet we should not be going crazy after when we have not meet up our target in gambling, what i expected every gambler is to make table of how much should be spend in gambling and how much should go investment, because money we loses in gambling continuously if we gather it together it will sum up to start a little business. I'm say play gamble with experience, don't use all you have for casino gambling

I often do this every month and calculate the amount I deposit to the casino comparing it to the number of withdrawals during that month. It is true that at least we are responsible for gambling with what has been issued. Although there is no point in looking back at the budget that has been spent. But for myself, this gives a bit of a warning if in a month there are more deposits than withdrawals, so for a while I take a break and don't make any deposits.

Let's accept the fact that gambling is truly addicting and makes us crave for more because that's the mechanics of gambling, we risk something and then we gain or lose. As what I am always telling people, we should always gamble responsibly because it involves MONEY. Know your limits, set boundaries, and if possible try to budget your money and only set a certain amount of money for gambling.

All this is a result of how difficult life has become for people another thing is that the majority of people are greedy and that is when being an addict does not longer favor them since they see it as a great alternative to making money, and talking about people gambling responsibly is not really a thing for people, people are seriously looking for money, is high time there is a limit to everything, especially when It comes to gambling, if there is no limit then the person is on the road to destruction since the individual will continue playing non-stop, gamble once in a while, then that is gambling responsible as you said.

[Kelvinid]

Being a responsible gambler is not a bad thing, and its necessary.
Imagine being too careless using your own hard earned money, that can be a big loss and frustrating.
We have to be more careful and consider every option to avoid big losses, if you can't gamble that much then don't do it. Don't be greedy, I know we all want to make money but in gambling, the more you rush it the more you lose the money. Just enjoy the process and enjoy the game, if you're lucky enough profit will come.

As long as we stick to our limitations, gambling is not a bad thing to do. But when it comes to the moment that we are spending more time and money, that was a sign that we are close to addiction. Addiction was not enjoyable anymore, we can never feel happiness if we win but what is on our minds is to win more - greediness had come. And the more we chase to win, the opposite things happen and we lose more. It is really all about proper budgeting which most gamblers fail to follow.

[slapper]

Gamblers should always gamble with their senses,  if you are a monthly salary earner make sure you have a limit of how much you will be spending on gambling, if you can uphold this strategy yourself you won't any bad experiences to share about gambling.

Some gamblers don't have any calculation, they use all the money they can get their hands on, and when they lost such money they won't know how to let go, The only things I can go into with almost everything I have real-world assets like Gold or Bitcoin, gambling is none of these two.

The problem with gamblers is they don't go by calculation even outside of gambling, if you are someone who doesn't even know how much you spend on food and yourself per month you are the type that fail in businesses and other things, you should always consider calculation first in everything you do.

That is one honest and straightforward viewpoint you have there. I'll grant you that the cliché of the hedonistic gambler who has no concept of budgeting is just that. Applaud the efforts of the people who get it right.

Although our lifestyle may seem extreme, there is a logic to the madness. Not all people who bet are reckless rogues. Believe it or not, many of us are constrained by both external and internal financial constraints. We enjoy the excitement, but we are aware of the risks.

Isn't your argument about the value of physical commodities like Bitcoin and gold just another form of chance, wrapped up in a coat and tie? The market's roulette wheel is as random as the ones in Las Vegas. There's no way around the risk, no matter how we spin it.

Gambling should really be played with caution. It's not for the irresponsible, unknowledgeable, and impulsive one because it has so many repercussions if not done properly. It can cause health issues and even addiction, so it's really essential for a person to possess good qualities that he might use while gambling to avoid being lost on track. Anyone can be a good gambler as long as he is disciplined enough to follow his boundaries and limitations. Being careless and being naive has no room in gambling industry.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Someone who exercises self-control and discipline in their gambling behaviour will always have a decided amount that they wish to spend that will not affect their other budget or must not exceed 30% of their salary, depending on how much they are receiving as salary. I think there was this other thread where Op was asking about the percentage of money that a gambler needs to spend from their real monthly salary. It is wise if a gambler knows how much they can gamble off at any given time so that they don't have to go far beyond their limit. Anyone who doesn't also have a limit for spending their money on gambling will definitely bear the penalty for their actions.

I think that majority of the gamblers do not think about the statistics- what they aim for is the hope that it can give to players in the event that one wins the jackpot.

Gambling is a deceiving act- it can either make or break one's life depending on the extent of addiction that it has affected a person. Given on this kind of factor, most gamblers aim in profiting rather than entertainment. With this, people go overboard their expenditures in hopes of winning that coveted jackpot that can change their lives.

Unfortunately, the only way that a person can stop such addiction is by really acknowledging that they indeed suffer from it. If they are willing to let go and substitute another act, then the chances of one recovering from this addiction is significantly higher compared to others that do not.

Gambling should really be played with caution. It's not for the irresponsible

Yes, in general, to avoid addiction, maybe it's true that we have to be careful in controlling our emotions, but for gambling, why do you have to play carefully, while playing gambling must be enjoyed, every gambling game must be really enjoyed so you can know more about how the game works, then change mindset and don't think of gambling as a source of income and make a lot of money, make gambling a place to seek pleasure

Addiction comes when our mindset is wrong, playing like you said that gambling should be responsible and don't gamble if you can't do it, because gambling is not only addictive but also losing money with a very high risk. I think not only be careful but also enjoy gambling properly and don't take it seriously so it can easily lead to addiction.

[Lorence.xD]

Well some people gambling just for fun since they have enough money to bet. But why do you think they still have remain enough money despite playing gambling almost everyday? Is that because they are successful? Possible yeah but not only that. They have a good control to their self and wise decision making which they can avoid being addicted to it or losing more funds to it. If you lose funds it's normal to feel some emotions such as being sad or frustrated but if you can't handle it professionally you would do everything just to bring back what you've lost cause you take some loan or sell properties just to gambling. If you think gambling is not for you since it really need some strong mind and self control, go and find what you think suits for you like investment or trading. Because it might be fun at first but gambling could destroy life of people cause it could led to suicide due to debts.

[Gozie51]

To avoid gambling addiction, it starts from using little budget.

Little budget and not to put all your interest and emotion in there because if we allow the emotion go so much attached to even the little we are playing and or losing, we may want to increase more. Therefore, to play with a little disaffection for it will help us to stabilise our emotions. Another point that could make gamblers to increase their budget for gambling is when you are always checking on the gambling sites then your zeal to chase back loses will increase. Also to be a pundit in gambling where you know almost all games in a casino, you want to try them out to try your luck and gradually you start to increase your budget.

Agreed, those gambler who fails to control their emotions before their mind or decision will be surely get affected so much. So all in all we should control our emotions and be aware that not all the time we can win sometimes we tend to lose more and more . Discipline is a must have thing for us to be a good and wise gambler, it is not easy to obtained but soon he will get used to it.

[Sandra_hakeem]

It's always been said over time that peeps better gamble responsibly...
It doesn't pay anyone to keep to themselves their ideas on how they're able to solve them addiction problems and spend less on gambling too. I remember seeing peeps suffering as a result of thinking that alot more could be done if they keep playing - so a grownup man stood in front of me and wagered away 250k naira, and he ended up begging for the least TPfare to go home with .... That was bad. According to him, he's got a wife and two kids at home, how was he gonna survive???

Again and again, we will always talk about good self-control, because there is no doubt that among those who eventually have to go down because of gambling are people who cannot control themselves. Self-control here encompasses many things including time, money allocation and much more. Perhaps because this is closely related to money, the main focus and basic thing is how we can control the allocation of money for our gambling, whether we accumulate it in time per week, or even per month. We should not spend more money on gambling than we earn. Set the percentage after we finish our main needs.

It is important to have that allocation and make sure that you are strict in handling your finances. It's true that gambling is
addicted without the right control of both your money and emotions.

The chance of losing lots of money is something that you needed to avoid, and by having that particular amount of money to use for
this activity can lessen the chance getting addicted and regret after.

You should have that control at any moment of time when you are dealing with gambling, else it's dangerous for you to continue.

Even if you win huge sums of profit in gambling if you don't have the self control and discipline, you will still have huge losses in the end. You better know your limitations and be wise enough to know when to stop and when to continue.
Setting up enough budget for gambling and putting limitations would be a good way for you to manage your finances the smartest despite your gambling habit. Gambling really requires discipline and control since it is addictive. If we'll let our urges control us, we will end up losing everything we have.

• Don't Gamble on Emotions
• Don't Use Borrowed Money
• Understand the Game
• Set Spending Limits
• Gambling should be considered as a form of entertainment alone
• Gambling should not be used as a source of income or a way to solve financial problems
• Recognize the Signs of Addiction
• Use a Self-Control Program
• Prioritize Other Activities

The above listed items are worthy to be followed and anyone who follows the above strictly will not fall into issues.
Another thing I will like to point out is for one to be able to set out a given time for gambling. You shouldn't always be on the screen gambling. The more time anyone allocates to gambling, the more chances of addiction.  So, allocating a certain amount of time for gambling will limit losses.

There are people who would really be telling to themselves or even to other people that they arent addicted even they are playing gambling on constant manner which we can say that it would really be unlikely because

the more time that you've been spending with gambling on which it would really be indicating that you are really that somewhat already get engaged into it. If you arent that careful then you would really be might putting yourself on possible addiction on which you should really be careful because if you do get shackled with it then getting out on getting rid of it would really be that so hard and not all would really be suceeding on doing so.
Basing with those points above then it would really be that pretty basic on just making use of your own common sense and mindset on which it would really be telling you that this is the thing that must do
but when you are on the middle of sessions on doing gambling then you would definitely be able to forget these points and wont really be caring at all.

Usually people on the time that they do gamble, they do really become that impulsive and if they arent really that careful and having no control about their mindset and emotion then they would
surely be failing on following on what they have tended do so.

And indeed, that is the reality that we must accept so that we don't become addicted to gambling. We can only risk the money we can afford so we don't have to take excessive risks and experience too many losses. If we can do it well, gambling will not be able to tempt us because we can spend money well and without having to experience gambling addiction like other gamblers. Setting limits and trying to maintain those limits is an important thing that should not be forgotten so that we don't experience big losses and also avoid gambling addiction.

But in fact many gamblers lose control even if they set a spending limit on the gambling budget. The average gambler gets addicted and forgets that they have ruined their own plans for fun, that's because the orientation of their game has changed to multiply money with wins.

It is not easy to control yourself and your passion for gambling especially if you start thinking that you will win x amount on the next try, it is a temptation that often makes gamblers lose more money. Some will chase wins to cover their losses, but most still fail. So in conclusion, gambling is a game where you run the risk of losing money, so gamble as much as you can afford to lose and don't gamble for money.
