Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling

[wiss19]

I think stability and personal finance share self-control principles. Not only curbing greed, but strategic planning and measured risks. I support financial literacy education to help people make smart choices. This is practical and vital to our life.

No doubt about that. People who lack financial literacy tend to be much more vulnerable to becoming gambling addicts and recklessly wasting money on it without knowing the fact that they are not going to get anything out of it at the end of the day because casinos are businesses and aren't places for gamblers to earn money from. They don't understand that they are supposed to spend just a small amount, or whatever they can afford to lose, in a casino only to enjoy the time they're spending in it and that's it.

People who are financially literate in their lives in general will have a much better view of gambling in their mind because they are clear about how they need to manage their finances and they know they can't spend more than they can afford to lose in gambling or anything that requires finances.

If you are that someone who arent really that making use of your own common sense or not really be able to find out on whats good and whats bad then for sure you would really be that ending up on getting addicted. If you dont value your future and possible consequences that might happen ahead then you wont really be caring on the actions that you are currently making and this is where
mistakes do really make such impact into your life. Realization would always come at the end and it would really be that always recommendable that you should really know on
making decisions or else you would really be finding yourself in great or huge trouble. Always make it sure that you are still in control on the situation.

I've never for one day sat down and emphasize to gamble, its against my rules and guidelines, but looking at me today, I'm fortunate to be among one of those gamblers that have benefited, though I've made loses but I ensure my profits surpassed my losses ratio. Every operation carried out is all about strategic, using an appropriate technique will do the main workings for us in th system. You're absolutely correct about the these important attributes mentioned because they serves as good aides in gambling. Self-control is the most important quality.

[Weawant]

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.

Your strategy is actually a nice one, I'd only people would follow suit and understand that greed actually does more harm than good to gamblers in the  gambling space, then it will help them with how well they pick their options and their approach to gambling in a better perspective.

Self awareness will help a long way to get controlled with your gambling activity a d will definitely help you with gambling responsibly and become less prone to becoming addicted,w when you have got your Habit and approach to gambling under control, you definitely reduce your risk or chances of becoming addicted, that awareness always keeps you in check and make sure you don't get to the point if addiction.

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.

Gambling only provides a small profit and is not commensurate with the losses we have incurred gambling, therefore it is important to understand how to gamble safely. As you said, it does seem difficult for people who are already addicted, but we as users are the same. We must remind and prevent each other so that we avoid gambling addiction, don't let gambling control us and don't let us chase defeat because chasing defeat will make us even more out of control and possibly become addicted.

And sadly those which have enough knowledge about the economy and how to manage their money are a minority, and I know this is true because almost every day I watch people to take dubious financial decisions, like investing in shitcoins, getting high debts and buying stuff they cannot afford.

And if anything the system is designed to get those people a lot of debt from which they can never escape, which makes critical for everyone to understand what is going on and avoid falling into one of those traps as then it becomes really difficult to escape from them.

Its quite easy, use a small amount, come to gambling once a week and think of it as just your free time, you will do it like playing video games and if you win, think of it as a bonus given for the fun you do, but dont withdraw the winnings and save some to gamble again a week. which will come.

It is very easy to overcome gambling safely but sometimes someone sees it as difficult and the difficulty actually comes from their own mind which considers gambling to be like a money multiplying machine trying to continuously deposit their money to double it and with several examples I said this is one way to avoid bad impacts gamble.

But interestingly, people don't stop gambling even though they know the risks they will experience after they finish gambling. They already know that they will lose but they try to prove it even though some of them can win. But the number of those who lose is still greater than the number of people who lose, so we shouldn't follow those who have lost and take the risk of losing even more. We can still gamble, but with a note, we gamble in moderation and don't violate the limits we have made so that we can prevent large losses. That's the only thing that can help us and we can still enjoy gambling as entertainment.

That's why we called it gamble and gambler loves to try and check for their luck, who knows a lucky day will come their way and make them win huge amount of money, they are all aware about the risk and they wanted to prove something, best practice is to know when to stop and how to deal with your loses, if you can prevent yourself from following your emotions then you have all the time to enjoy and not to excessively play and lose a lot.

Unfortunately, they also don't realize that after losing a certain amount, they don't immediately stop gambling but continue gambling. From there, they start to get more losses, which will become bigger if they don't stop gambling. They also don't try to control themselves after losing and that is not the way to stay safe while gambling. They can stay safe while gambling by still trying to control themselves from losing a lot. We must try to prevent ourselves and not follow emotions, especially when there is a desire to recover from the losses we have experienced. It will be increasingly difficult because all that remains is that we will experience more and more losses.

The reason why they wont stop playing while losing such amount because they are chasing their losses to the point that they lose more and more in gambling , they didn't even realize what's their actions and decisions that they made because the only important thing in their mind is to get back all the money that they lose or hoping to multiply the money that they have in a higher prize.

Indeed, that kind of attitude remove the balance inside your mind, once you start chasing your loses that the time casino wins against you in it's true sense, because each time you try adding money to your balance, the outcome most of the time will cause you to lose that amount again and again, since even chances gives you the opportunity to have a winning streak you'll push for more thinking that it won't stop.

Thinking that it's your time and luck is permitting you to win and will allow you to cashout decent amount of money, but the truth is, because of that greed inside you, you'll lose it back and end your session with another sets of regrets.

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.

The casinos do not only have a small advantage, but they are built to give them the most. Gamblers win a lot from the casino, but when you think about the process and what they have spent all together, you will notice that some of their celebrated winnings are not even up to what they have spent in gambling all together.
 
And for those who always think they have a higher chance of winning in gambling, they are the ones who always end up getting disappointed over the result of their bet slip. For sure, you can win a bet in a casino, but always having that overconfidence that one particular game is a sure banger is what has landed most people to where they are right now because they forget there is no sure odd in gambling; we can get disappointed at all times. That's why we need to always wager with a responsible bankroll so that whatever the result of the bet, we can still stand on our feet.

Those bets in which a gambler thinks they cannot lose are what can cause some massive losses for gamblers, as those surefire bets offer really bad odds and in order to compensate gamblers will make absurdly high bets in order to obtain the profits they want, and when the favorite losses then all of that money will be lost, and suddenly the gambler finds themselves in a position they never thought they will face, and that is when they could begin to chase their loses and their losses will increase even further this way.

Yes, chasing losses is the reason given by many gamblers who continue gambling even though they have experienced many losses. But they won't want to admit it and will make other excuses because they actually feel that chasing losses is difficult but they don't want to stop gambling. That will make them experience more losses than before, and many of the gamblers will immediately spend all their money that day without thinking about leaving some money for another day. They really have to change their inappropriate mindset in pursuing losses because that will only make them experience defeat. If they can restrain themselves from chasing their losses, they can see that they actually still have money left over that can be used another day to gamble.

Really easy to say about limits but when you are on the actual situation then you would really be likely be able to forget those limits that you've been talking earlier.  
Safe would really be only consider on how you wouldnt be able to lose up money literally in terms of security but in speaking about losing in game then it would
really be just an another day. We do know that gambling is a matter of winning or losing so its just part of the game, being safety in the sense that you shouldnt
really be making yourself get addicted with it and this is something the key.

You do have your own will and common sense on which it is impossible that you cant be able to differentiate on whats good and whats bad.
Its impossible for a human being to miss out. lol

Yes, I know that and it is indeed difficult to maintain self-control or remain responsible for limits when faced with situation like this, especially when opportunities are clearly visible before our eyes.
Even though I often say that it is important to maintain boundaries and it is not certain that I personally can do what I say about boundaries, at least giving each other suggestions and advice is something that can be useful.
I know what I have to do with my own money when gambling and if I exceed that limit, it doesn't make me feel difficult because the excess is probably only little, no more than 50% of my daily income.
Like there still money left over to survive and save.

It all about money and if gambler can be responsible and knows what to do to protect it then he will definitely have security, it just that most gamblers take this for granted and they think that tomorrow they can still work to make money.
That why there are many gamblers who always do stupid things that endanger every amount of money they have.

Distinguishing between good and bad can definitely be done, but it depends on a person mindset because what I consider good may not necessarily be what other people consider good and vice versa.

Loss chasing is a common problem among gamblers, especially those with gambling addictions. This refers to the act of trying to recoup the money you lost by increasing your bets or playing more frequently. However, for those who are addicted this strategy rarely works and can cause more significant damage. So before you start gambling to control yourself decide on a budget that will help you avoid losses. Otherwise the addiction will lead you to overspend and chase losses which can lead to financial difficulties and gambling addiction.

Yes, every gambler will try to recover money when he loses. Be it an addict or a non-addict it is a common thing for which we can never say it as a main reason for addiction. It takes more than a few symptoms to determine whether a gambler is addicted or not.  among these main features is that those who spend long periods of time in gambling are more likely to become addicted. When a gambler spends more time in gambling than usual he is bound to become addicted. Moreover, those who have high expectations in gambling are also more likely to become addicted.

No, I don't think it's a common thing for casual players, casual players imply that they can stop whenever they want to unlike addicts that will try their best and do anything that they have to do to gamble again and I didn't even said that chasing losses is the main reason for addiction, yes it does take a few symptoms but when one shows, shouldn't you consider doing something about it especially if that symptom you're talking about is chasing losses because it's damaging to that person and the person around them financially.

Trying to recover by betting or playing more? It rarely works. Imagine digging a deeper hole to escape at the bottom. Budgeting is essential. You must have a definite limit you don't cross. Similar to internet gambling? Set your budget before playing. Rule, golden rule. It's the same in marriage, too. You need respectable limitations

Unfortunately, addiction doesn't consider your money. It will make you splurge to recapture losses. The true issue begins there. Money problems, gambling addiction. So be strong. Always follow your budget. Managing spending is like managing your life

It's a general belief that gamblers are always chasing their losses whenever they're losing in their bet but from my own personal experience, I don't think that belief is true.
There are gamblers who will always decide not to continue with their gambling activities whenever they're losing instead of gambling more in their quest to recover from their already lost games. Trying to recover the money that's lost in gambling immediately haven't worked like everyone tried it have expected so I don't think it's wise doing it.
