For Newbies Interested in Gambling

[GiftedMAN]

In addition to to that, do not try to become a millionaire overnight. This is one of the most common mistakes that not only newbie gamblers make. Many gamblers forget that “little drop of water makes a mighty ocean”. Consistently winning 50% of your little stake is better than back and forth earnings whereby you win and because you don’t have a winning limit, you end up losing everything and eventually being in a loss, whereas you could have walked away with what you had.

Good advice for all gamblers but not all gamblers believe in the parable you spoke right now about little water becoming ocean. Most gamblers think they can hit the winning big by using a very huge amount to stake and once they aren't getting the wins they become more eager to try just to see if they can recover all they have lost but at the end of the day they end up becoming addicted abd broke or they end up not having good life due to their reckless life style of gambling. Every gambler is greedy you have to take note of that and they can't endure to win little by little that's the major reason why they always lose funds.

In gambling, it was mostly the owners are the ones who win, so it's no surprise that newbies or even the veterans are mostly losing in it, no matter how much experience, knowledge, and skill they have.

Yes, that's why veterans only give a little advice so that beginners don't gamble seriously, let alone think they can beat the dealer, even though what we know is that the dealer or owner will always win against the user, every gambler usually always finds some victory in every game, but Unfortunately, they are too greedy so they forget to stop and want to look for even higher wins so that in the end their money just runs out.

You are right that everyone will definitely experience defeat when gambling, whether they are a beginner or a veteran who has a lot of experience in gambling, but that is the point of experience that can be shared with beginners, that gambling should only be used as entertainment, it should not be used as a place to earn a living, let alone become a a steady source of income, obviously that is impossible, our job is only to provide messages and warnings that gambling must be responsible and that is important for beginners to understand.

as owners certainly don't want to experience losses because their goal is to create gambling so that they can reap profits from their users, gambling players will not be able to beat the dealer because they have arranged their game so they don't experience significant losses.

beginners must have logical thinking, they can learn gambling from those who have experience in the field of gambling so that beginners don't take the wrong steps in carrying out these activities, and yes, as a beginner, don't think too much about whether gambling will provide benefits when you first start doing it because it's not certain and winning in gambling got it random.
who knows with the aim of having fun, you might even get lucky because the more we have ambition to win the more difficult it will be to get.

Note that the most important thing in gambling is bankroll management and finding value. What messes people up is poor bankroll management. 

Bankroll management is very important in gambling, but not to become a successful gambler, but so that this activity does not destroy your finances and this is much more important than expecting to win.

In addition to to that, do not try to become a millionaire overnight. This is one of the most common mistakes that not only newbie gamblers make.

But what is more appropriate in my opinion is don't expect to get rich from gambling, there are indeed people who can win fantastic amounts but compared to those who don't get it there are far more, so don't ever expect to get rich or just double or earn income from gambling, because gambling is not an activity to make money, you can win but you will also have the same chance of losing, how sure and great it is that in gambling the chances of winning and losing are always the same.

Bankroll management is very important in gambling, but not to become a successful gambler, but so that this activity does not destroy your finances and this is much more important than expecting to win.

Yes, bankroll management refers to how you successfully balance the amount of money you have or the amount of money you can afford to lose. Most gamblers forget about this or clearly don't know about this. But this tool helps an individual gambler to have discipline.

As you have said, there are people who can win a huge amount of money. With that information, most gamblers think of having the same luck as winning a lot. This leads to making them think to continue gambling and maybe their chance may come. Until they lose more money without even winning a single roll.

After all, if gambling is chasing a big win, it will be difficult to get, because no one can beat the machine that has been set up by the bookie. But they don't realize that chasing the big win can make them lose more money. and the amount of money lost will also not be equivalent to the winnings they will get. Dissatisfaction is common in all people so even if they win I think they will continue to play before getting a very large win.

They tend to only think about the winnings that are not yet clear that they will get. People who gamble wisely and only play with the aim of having fun can be upset when they lose, but they can forget about the defeat by leaving gambling for a while, unlike people who play gambling unwisely when they lose and are upset they will return in the hope of recovering the losses they have lost or catching up with the losses. So it's true what you said, for beginners, hopefully they can play gambling smartly, including being able to control themselves and limit their games.

Gamblers cannot beat the dealer because the dealer owns the business. Gamblers can just enjoy playing gambling without having to hope to win and in fact, gamblers can stay like that and let victory come to them one day. In this way, there will be no pressure to chase wins or mourn losses because gamblers already know that in gambling, there is always a risk of losing so they are ready to face it. Apart from that, gamblers will also find it difficult to get the win they want, so instead of trying to get that win, they should enjoy it.

People who gamble wisely will not think about anything other than gambling to get pleasure because that is their goal in gambling. They will let what happens to them because they already know that that is what they will get if they gamble. They also will not despair and get frustrated if they experience defeat because they can prevent big losses by stopping the gambling game. And that is clearly different from people who want to win or recover their losses because they will keep trying until they succeed, but they will still have difficulty getting it.

Note that the most important thing in gambling is bankroll management and finding value. What messes people up is poor bankroll management.  Personally, I limit my bets to no more than 10 percent of my bankroll per day, I stop once that limit is reached. 

I want share my budget allocations strategies.. Well...i use my monthly budget, which is about 10%, and usually, I only gamble on the weekends for sports betting, especially I love with EPL. I divide that budget into four parts, and if one part wins, I use it to add a bit to the budget for gambling the next week, setting aside the profit for personal use... or sometimes, I use the winnings from the first bet to play on Thursdays when the UCL is on.

If I run out of this budget, then I have to stop and wait for the next week to play again. I started using this method a few months ago because I used to switch strategies frequently to make sure I don't spend too much on gambling.

Being patient and consistently involved in healthy gambling habits will surely make you a successful gambler.

Patience for what? To the point that the casino leaves you with empty pockets?

Constant participation will only make you addicted to gambling.

Neither one nor the other is needed to become a successful gambler. Only chance can make you like this.

If you are newbie who is interested in gambling and has been following the gambling community here or any where online or offline, your purpose should be to learn as much as possible from the shared experiences of others such that you can eventually branch out independently, allowing you to operate without dependence on others.

Don't need too much from the experiences of others.

From the experience of others, it is enough to know only one thing - one way or another, most of the players end up at a loss. This is a logical outcome of events. If most of the players were in profit, the casino would not be able to function.

Don’t have to consider yourself special or chosen and that the fate of all gamblers will not befall you.

Note that the most important thing in gambling is bankroll management and finding value. What messes people up is poor bankroll management. Personally, I limit my bets to no more than 10 percent of my bankroll per day, I stop once that limit is reached. 

The most important thing in gambling is to stop in time. Best of all, before your first bet.

Also don't get discouraged if variance comes in and you have a losing day, week, month, etc. Value is value and it will catch up.  Goodluck on your gambling journey.

What if the year turns out to be unprofitable? 2 years, 5 years?

Gambling oldies can throw in their 2 sats on this.

I couldn't resist contributing my half penny.

Do you encourage beginners who are trying to risk their money consistently? successful gambler?

For beginners who enter the world of gambling thinking that this is a stable source of finances. Any type of gambling has risks, because what beginners are involved in are usually games that rely on luck, just try it and then advise them to be patient and consistent, especially associating it with success. Beginners come to gamble with the aim of multiplying the minimal money they have, we have all been in that position. Because if it is not replaced with entertainment purposes, perhaps beginners will spend their money in various ways without having sound management.

This one is a good advice. It will be a challenge for the newbies to stay in their lane because they have so many aspirations and they have their hopes up. But it's really important to know when to stop. Do not try to win big instantly because the thing is, you can't. You must know the basics first and test the water before diving deep into it. That way, you won't drown while attempting to win. It's not bad to aim to become a millionaire, but you must know that it can't be achieved overnight. It's a process.

You must have the knowledge and the skills first and above all, you must have tons of luck on your side. While I don't really advise to aim being a millionaire using gambling as your way, I guess to each his own. Just manage your expectations so you won't be disappointed later on. Start small, big healthy gambling habits. And never let yourself be addicted.

What ever you have mentioned are the don'ts of gambling but newbies because of their ignorance try these wrong habits in gambling and thus lose their money in gambling. Some may leave gambling after making loss that gambling is a scam while other may continue and keep on losing more money with the hope to win big money someday.

If somehow the new gamblers first try to learn more about gambling and its best practices, so that they do not face such awkward situations.

Sometimes i think that the gambling site can also provide some do and don't in gambling on their site to remind the gambler to be responsible but then i think that why would the gambling site do that, they won't care if the gamblers lose more money.

Not many gamblers become millionaires in gambling, therefore people should not expect to make money and success from this gambling, it is definitely impossible to get it, so gamble with a healthy mindset that gambling is only entertainment and nothing more than that. You say that it is also true that before gambling we really have to have knowledge and experience because without that it will be difficult to control ourselves.

At least start gambling with a smaller bet, especially if you are still a beginner, it doesn't guarantee that using a bigger bet we will be able to enjoy the game and also get lucky, don't have too high expectations, enjoying the game is important especially in our gambling, apart from being able to get money we can also learn to control yourself and increase your patience.

What can we call success in gambling?
° Is it been a responsible gambler with falling to addiction all the years of your gambling?
° Is it even capable of having winnings and making money out of gambling that can be referred to being successful?
I wish to know as a result of how success in gambling could have variance to people.

Well your question is very appropriate in this discussion, honestly I also never thought and did not really believe if there were people who were successful in gambling, this is personally and according to my own perspective. Let's think logically, the first point is that gambling is random in terms of winning and for the results it will always depend on how lucky you are at that time, the second point is that there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone to be able to win there, and the point when there is no certainty for anyone to achieve the results they expect. Honestly, I don't really care if they are responsible gamblers or not but even if you are responsible, this activity is really not recommended, no one will be able to achieve success in gambling because there is no element of success at all such as the process to achieve their goals and also on the other hand how could they seek success in a place that only relies on luck for the expected results? And there is also no consistency in it, the fact is that defeats will occur more often than the occasional victory and with this it can be concluded that there is no consistency in achieving something in the final session, everything will go randomly about how lucky you are at that time. Does this make sense? Think about it.

You're definite to breakneck placing your success on gambling, there's no successful on planet earth that became successful by luck but hardwork whereas gambling don't recognize hardwork if you are not lucky no matter how much effort you apply into gambling you just wasting your time and energy.

Its not a salary tied career that we should expect to consistently make money from it either weekly or monthly as income. And taking into consideration gamblers that were lucky to win a big amount that changed their status somehow if we dig deep into their gambling record we will be sure to record a total of all the money they have loss to gambling to be of equivalent to the bug amount they just won and are feeling like they are successful.

For some reason I get quite annoyed when I hear statements that they can be successful or achieve success in gambling, how can someone say that so easily, absolutely nothing makes sense even if they explain about their journey or their efforts in achieving success. I'm sure you agree with my assumption, and you also said that there is no success in gambling, it is very true and none other than because as I said earlier that there is no element of success whatsoever in the gambling journey, I say this is not nonsense because I personally am also a gambler, I have entered a very painful phase of addiction so that's why I get annoyed when someone says that they can be successful in gambling, I have experienced it and now I can get better by continuing to try to think logically in seeing this gambling.

Of course, the word success is only meant for something that you strive for and there is a process of hardship and failure in it, when you get through it all and make it to the top then that is what success means, whereas in gambling? There is no such thing as hard work and if you lose it is not a failure but the end result that you have to accept, after the end result happens then  you have to start again from the beginning, I agree and it is clear that the concept of success does not exist there.

who knows with the aim of having fun, you might even get lucky because the more we have ambition to win the more difficult it will be to get.

You mentioned gambling's brutal reality: the house usually wins. Its a company, thus their model doesnt benefit gamers. To manage expectations, newcomers should remember this. You are right about rational thinking in gambling. Beginners typically ignore this and leap into the glamor without a plan. Experienced players can offer vital insights into these world. Paradoxically, overthinking and strategizing can be dangerous. Gambling is a game of chance, and randomness is crucial. Ironically, beginners should play for fun rather than profit. The less you care about winning, the less pressure you feel, which can improve your decision-making. A delicate balance of ability, luck, and mindset. Beginners should remember this careful balance.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Good advice from the op generally, though I personally feel that the term *successful gambler* is something that can means different things for different people, so whenever we make reference to this in gambling, we should take out some time to explaining who indeed is a successful gambler..

For example, there are some those who are just gambling to have fun, and do consider themselves as successful gamblers as long as they are very comfortable wit their gambling habits, that is, they are not addicted, they don't have financial issues or problems which is as a result of too much gambling. This type of gambler can consider themselves as successful since they are already comfortable, they have businesses paying them good money, which means that they are not dependent on gambling for income.

While on the other hand, there are others who consider successful gamblers to be those who make a living off gambling, that is, they depend solely on their gambling winnings for livelihood, and some how, they manage to be successful in this.
For me, I do not and will never advice anyone to depend on gambling for livelihood, for what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B, and as far as I know, only a very few lucky pals manage to be successful in solely depending on gambling for livelihood.

[Sanugarid]

The real purpose of gambling is for entertainment and not to achieve success. Even though there are people who have succeeded in getting success from gambling, that doesn't mean other people can get it too. Not many people can learn more about gambling, especially those who specialize in learning one gambling game, such as cards.

Most of them will lose when playing gambling. And if that's the case, they don't need to continue achieving success from gambling. They should seek success in work or business. That will provide more opportunities for them so they can make money.

The most important thing about gambling is how you can control yourself while gambling. In addition, you need to reduce the risk of losing money from gambling. This is difficult because many people become tempted to continue gambling. And that causes them to lose more money.

This is really the reason why you gamble, to entertain yourself. Not to get rich. It is true that there are people who succeed in gambling and only a few of them, there are even more gambling addicts than successful ones. And what I see is one of the reasons why more people become addicted is because they think gambling is a short cut money, they think it's easy to get money from gambling and that's the wrong way to think.

For me, even though I am not getting rich from my gambling, I can say that I am also a successful gambler because I control myself when it comes to gambling, so it is unlikely that I will become addicted to it, I enjoy it every time I play. When you lose, just think of it as compensation because you enjoyed yourself while gambling. And that is the purpose of gambling to entertain yourself and to enjoy it.

Gambling oldies can throw in their 2 sats on this.

We learn from others mistakes and also from their success stories, but what do you mean by successful gambler? Do you mean one should build a career in gambling and make it a source of income, which requires them to be consistent to the extent of becoming successful? If that's what you mean, I disagree with that aspect of one focusing on becoming a successful gambler. We gamble for fun, but trying to build a career around it can turn one into an addict.
 
In the aspect of keeping to one's wager limit, it's the most important way that I know one needs to use in order for them to avoid turning into an addict and spending more than they have budgeted for the day. Keeping a healthy bankroll keeps someone on track, and it also shows how responsible the person can be when it comes to spending decisions.

People who gamble wisely will not think about anything other than gambling to get pleasure because that is their goal in gambling.

They also will not despair and get frustrated if they experience defeat because they can prevent big losses by stopping the gambling game. And that is clearly different from people who want to win or recover their losses because they will keep trying until they succeed, but they will still have difficulty getting it.

The gambling site owner or gambling dealer was not in the game of gambling win or loss.Because they getting their own regular income by conducting the gambling game.So their algorithm will not favour any gamblers,whether they had huge experience or less experience in the gambling game.The gambler should think wisely on playing the gambling game.The foremost thing faced by the gambler was loss and continuous loss.But if the gambler had guts to face the hard pressure in the gambling,he can handle anything in the real world.So gambling game itself help the gambler to understand the real life and manage the real money in the gambling.

Experience will always be a point of reference so that we repeat it again if it was a good experience, but otherwise if it was the worst thing you have ever experienced then make it a lesson so that you don't get into the same hole. Of course, I never thought that there are people who can be successful just by gambling, I would ask them what their reason is to say that gamblers can achieve success in activities that only rely on luck, it doesn't make sense at all, how do they equate the aspect of real success with gambling, in gambling there is absolutely no element of success except for the final result which is sometimes appropriate and sometimes disappointing, and also on the other hand I don't understand how they can say that in a place that does not have any certainty and consistency. We have to understand that gambling is only about winning and losing, and it also depends a lot on your luck, so I think only fools have such assumptions.

The real success is when you make it to the top and enjoy it as a reward for your hard work, and I would ask what is your struggle in gambling? what are you doing? even though you  have done everything but don't you always lose in the end? if there is a reasonable reason, please let me know.

Note that the most important thing in gambling is bankroll management and finding value. What messes people up is poor bankroll management. 

Bankroll management is very important in gambling, but not to become a successful gambler, but so that this activity does not destroy your finances and this is much more important than expecting to win.

In addition to to that, do not try to become a millionaire overnight. This is one of the most common mistakes that not only newbie gamblers make. Many gamblers forget that “little drop of water makes a mighty ocean”. Consistently winning 50% of your little stake is better than back and forth earnings whereby you win and because you don’t have a winning limit, you end up losing everything and eventually being in a loss, whereas you could have walked away with what you had.

But what is more appropriate in my opinion is don't expect to get rich from gambling, there are indeed people who can win fantastic amounts but compared to those who don't get it there are far more, so don't ever expect to get rich or just double or earn income from gambling, because gambling is not an activity to make money, you can win but you will also have the same chance of losing, how sure and great it is that in gambling the chances of winning and losing are always the same.

You can’t tell people what they should do in this case. Those who want to gamble for the money will and those who want to gamble for fun will. If you’re gambling for the money, how will you not expect to get rich? Consistently winning 50% of your stake still has the goal of you being rich. Gambling is an activity to make money, just that some people stake lower, and enjoy the process of the uncertainty of the outcome (in the name of fun). In fact, the 50-50 probability of winning and losing you speak of is what makes gambling.
