Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling

[South Park]

the only thing that may add the edge is the knowledge that you have about the game you choose to play.

If that statement is directed toward gambling games then it's wrong because you don't get any edge over the house for any game that you play just because of the knowledge you have about it, that's now how gambling games work. I know there are a few games that might require your knowledge such as poker or blackjack, but even in those games, you need luck to be able to get good cards that you can use with your experience to win the games, but knowledge alone wouldn't make you win.

That statement can be correct about sports betting because it's the only part of gambling where your knowledge and experience are the most important things since you will need to have experience and knowledge about a sport and the teams involved to be able to make good predictions and get an edge over the sportsbook. Luck does play its role in sports betting as well but it's not completely dependent on that.

At least when it comes to poker you are not playing against the house and instead you are playing against other players, it is true the house gets part of each pot if you are playing in a poker cash game, but taking into account the service they are providing this is a fair trade, still it is true that even with the right knowledge it could be difficult to get an edge over the casinos as they have a whole team behind them while the gambler has no one to rely other than themselves.

Doesnt really need up that critical thinking in trying out to differentiate in between poker/sports betting games to casino games on which we know that both things are different in speaking about
odds and chances for someone to win.It would really be that impossible that you cant really be able to determine on which one is really that indeed having the advantage if you are really that knowledgeable on which it is really that something pertains about sportsbetting or any card game which it would really be understandable on who does really have that edge
when it comes to this.

Speaking about staying safe then it would really be just that pertaining into things that you should really be that responsible when it comes to your spending.
You should really be able to know on when to stop and when to call it a day because we know that being that impulsive towards it would
really be just simply bringing up that harm.

Casino games can be very uncertainty when it come to winning because the house have big chances of winning than us who are just a gambler. There may be some gamblers who make good profits from casino games but that do not happen to everyone. There would be people that would lose there funds nit because they are not intelligent or do not have a better skill but we all can not be a winner at the same time. There would be people that would lose their bet and their will also be those that would gain. We might be always lucky to be among people that do make consistent profits from betting and that do not mean that everyone is making reasonable profits from the same bets.

[Dunamisx]

Gambling much never make you win, it rather draws winning more away from you, when we are gambling excessively, it my lead to addiction, the more we do the less the results and the higher the negative influence from it, why not we then take our time by understanding the required means of staying responsible and maintaining that on our entire gambling experience by doing everything moderately, avoiding excessive gambling or risk taking and be a responsible gambler for our own betterness.

We must underline your statement "because the house have big chances of winning than us who are just a gambler". So we prepare anticipatory steps to handle losses and gamble according to the funds we can afford, we must know that a high winning ratio is only obtained based on luck and there are always losses from other gamblers at the same time, the house will not be harmed in any way even though Gamblers get maximum profits in high bets, but the next gambling betting session will trigger a gambling addiction that involves higher bets so that they will experience higher losses than wins.

Don't think about it too much. "the house will always win" keep this in your mind.
The house will always win not because it's luckier than you, not because it has thrown some sort of spells. No, they will always win because they see prepared. You can't convince me, sorry. To stay safe, just gamble what you can afford to lose or stay away from gambling.

Yes that's right, I agree with you, many people misinterpret gambling by making it the main income in life even though it is set up to make money for the company not to give money away, where there is a casino there is a bookie as the host and of course the host will be the winner, assuming he can win and can beat the bookie. As you said the more we do the less the result and the higher the impact is true and cannot be hidden. So if they gamble they should be able to control themselves so that addiction does not occur. gambling is just a game nothing more than that so don't make it the main income in life, because if that's like that in my opinion it's the wrong principle.

The bad impact of gambling is very large, most of those who play without realizing that all of them have rules, it's just that the bookie plays them by giving small wins so that they believe they can get a big win, from there they will start to get addicted to gambling by continuing to play even though they only lose and lose what they get. It's not until all their money runs out that they will realize but even then it's unlikely, because there are also people who are addicted even though they have run out of capital to gamble they will do anything to get back to gambling even though it's a negative thing that will harm them. So they should realize from the beginning the bad effects of gambling if they cannot limit themselves in gambling it will make them severely addicted.

It's a tough path to follow but yes I agree that if you manage to control yourself and play with moderation and good self-control it will avoid being addicted as the time and the money that you will going to spent is not that much to lead you to keep on playing and chasing for either your losses or to aim for more earnings.

It's a must  characteristic to understand the principle of gambling, where most of the time it's the house who have the higher advantage against the gamblers who are trying to enjoy or win decently.

Those words will always be in my head and be an alarm for me personally when I lose, all gamblers know that "the bookie will always win" against all its users at any time, so I will not be lustful and tempted again to make additional deposits just to chasing losses and recovering my lost capital, I think gambling should be with money that we are ready to lose because it is a safe way for us not to become addicted, as we know it is difficult to cure if addicted.

I always limit my gambling budget and where this limit always keeps me gambling safely so that I don't gamble beyond my limits, let alone become addicted, the point is, never force yourself to gamble with the money you need for your living needs, because of course that will make us feel guilty when we lose it. so gambling in a safe way is to limit an appropriate budget and be ready to lose.

There are some sports bettor who are staying safe in betting or at least keeping it as safe as possible by putting their money on favorite team or fighter. It make sense but they only win a little amount every win you know this by just the odds like 1.20 or so. And when they lose it would need a series of wins before they could recover the loss. It is a good strategy if majority of their bets are winning. Unfortunately I follow their bet slip for sometime and they lose 2 out of 5 every time.

The safest I found it just use the tokens I earn from staking and that's what I use to bet. No big loss that's for sure but no big win either until this bull run started.

I do agree on this, Betting on favorite using single bet is typically hard to maintain since you will lose 100% of your bet while you will only gain percentage of it when you win. I rarely place bet on single bet to a 1.2 odds since it’s already not worthy because there’s still a chance of losing. I usually pick around 1.5 and parlay it to anything below just to have a 2.0 odds and above. This way, I will not rely on multiple win just cover my single loss.

The safest I found it just use the tokens I earn from staking and that's what I use to bet. No big loss that's for sure but no big win either until this bull run started.

Not safe if the profit you are earn on staking is just to make you breakeven to the token you are staking since stake tokens usually decrease price due to rewards from staking often sell-off immediately once claim.

In fact, realising that chasing losses is pointless is a rational thing to do. This concept of only gambling with money that you can afford to lose cannot be stressed enough.

Setting limits for yourself and making a budget shows that you are very committed to self-control and reduces the risks that come with trying to get back money that you've lost. This is a strong preventative step that relates to real-life problems of managing money and taking responsibility for oneself.

You show a strategy that tries to find a delicate balance by putting basic needs first and drawing a clear line between fun and serious needs. Your insight sparks a larger conversation about responsible gambling, bringing up issues like addiction and financial security that many people are struggling with.

That's right, the house edge doesn't let the house lose in the long run. When a gambler is losing, the house is winning, but when a gambler is winning, the house is still winning in the long run because of the house edge, and there is no way one can reduce their losses in gambling, no strategy, no plan, nothing at all can save one from incurring losses, so as you said, the only way one can stay safe from gambling is to either stay away or have a limit for their bankroll that they can lose for a certain period.

However, most gamblers don't understand simple facts, they also don't learn from the experiences of others, all they think of is getting rich through gambling which we all know isn't something that happens with everyone and only a very small percentage of people in the whole world become lucky enough to achieve that through gambling.

Putting our money in our favorite team or fighter is a two way street, you are enjoying the game
(because they are your favorite) but you are also taking chances to win because of trust and of course possitivities about them playing.

But from that? I know that we will only win when putting bets in the team we believe will win and
 not because they are our Idols , because this is gambling and nothing comes first but the best player/team so try not to fall from idolizing
 because that is not what gambling means.

also Staking is one good place to earn but know where and when to put and how long , because
sometimes trusting them big time will also let you lose bigtime.

Agree. When you gamble the casino always has a small advantage which means they'll make money in the long run. Even when a gambler wins occasionally the casino still comes out ahead overall. To stay safe, it's important to set a limit on how much you're willing to lose, because there's no guaranteed strategy to win in the long term. Most people who gamble don't realize this and hope to get rich but that rarely happens.

Yeah the money that you're going to earn is from other gamblers who lose their money, occasionally you may win some decent amount
but if you will be force by adrenaline and the lust inside you.

Just count a few hours or days then you may return and lose everything back to the house, it's better to have that limit and not to exceed

to stay safe and to stay being entertained and not to stress yourself when losing you money.

[benalexis12]

I'm in "Never Get Greedy" because when we do this, for sure you will not end up addicted to gambling, and for sure you will be a responsible gambler because you will also limit yourself to only playing moderately.

You are the kind of gambler who, when greed doesn't enter your life, knows how to limit whether you should continue playing or not, whether you are already winning or losing at the casino. Apparently, in everything you do, you are aware of what you should do as a gambler.

Many people also misinterpret gambling so that they make it the main income or benchmark for making money, of course this is wrong. Because gambling or casinos are made to make money for the company not to give money to people. But in my opinion, the wrong ones are the players who are not aware of that so they can spend all their money just to gamble with the belief of a big win. Even though the bookie gives the winnings sometimes they don't withdraw it but instead continue the game until in the end it all runs out too.

The level of awareness of people on gambling is so bad that many people make gambling their main income and hope to get rich quickly by gambling. But most of them instead of getting rich become miserable in terms of financial or economic. No matter how the bookie will win, there are no patterns and tricks to beat the bookie. So still the host will be the winner.

the problem with gamblers is they get lost in their head there’s this feeling of “i can win it if i just go another round” but then they lose and they go another round and another and another until they’ve lost all their money maybe it’ll be helpful to have someone remind them when to stop when they’ve reached their maximum loss
what’s very appealing in gambling is there’s a chance the prize you’ll win can cover the losses you’ve had so you think it’s all worth it but like you said there’s no guarantee if you’re ever gonna win

You are right.

If someone is greedy, there's a high percentage that he will be overspending because of uncontrolled urge to bet to win more and more. It's not a healthy habit to frequently bet without analyzing. It's good to have a goal to win, but it's better if you will be disciplined in attaining that goal you have in mind. Reckless and irresponsible gambling is a sure way to destroy yourself and your future.

The time you let greed take over you instead of you controlling and suppressing it, expect for the worst already. This is because greed can bring so many problems upon you such as having financial difficulty due to excessive gambling, getting addicted, and have people you love be distant from you since it could strain a relationship.
