What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ?

[Wiwo]

Only irresponsible gambler would actually gamble or do some other Ill habits around his kid because the mind of children at some age is really sharp and they tend to grasp whatever is going on around them and that's why at that stage is important we are always careful with what we actually exposed them to. Most young kid that gamble is actually as a result of the environment they grow up in because thats very important for the child development.

Well i agree with you on this,  because I don't think any responsible person will gamble in front of his kids knowing fully well how influential the parent's habits easily influencer the kids since you are their first role model,  so exhibiting such habits in front of kids is somewhat something that only an insane man will do,  and as a gambler,  your gambling environment should be entirely secret and private to only you and few adults around you,  but try as much as possible to avoid letting your kids get any knowledge of you getting involved in gambling at all time,  and for whatsoever reasons.

Let us discuss in this thread the things one should completely avoid while gambling. Here are some suggestions according to me :


1) Do not gamble in work area : It is not ethical to do so. Your employer is paying you to work for him for certain hours. If you waste these hours for gambling, it is a bad habit.

2) Do not take loan to gamble: Some young guys are so irresponsible that they take loans to gamble. It is a very bad move and can even produce life threatening conditions in future when loan recover agents knock your door.

You might not get it at the very beginning but you really need to figure out and understand the games you are playing - whether you are purely relying on chance (which can be manipulated in the background) or if there is a level of skill that can give you an edge over other players. Most casino games are engineered to give the owner a slight advantage, which means if you play for long enough you might get a few wins along the way but will eventually give all your chips over to them. However a game like poker has a neutral "house", where the casino always gets paid a small cut called rake to host the game, so you if you are able to beat all the other players at the table with skill you can actually walk away with a fairly consistent profit.

Aside from the things listed by OP, I just want to add that we should avoid gambling while under the influence of alcohol because many tend to do action even if its not on their plan or strategy and many tend to spend more simply because they can’t control their emotion while under the influence of alcohol. Make sure when you gamble you are in right state of mind and you know what you are doing to avoid any big losses.

I will admit that when I play, specially in a traditional based casino, I often drink as it is for free. But when you thought that you can get everything in the casino, you are paying a high price since you are gambling there. Lol.

But in any case, yes, it's one of the worst, because we all know that when you are under the influence, your decision is clouded and so you might be betting too much money when supposedly you're not when you are normal. So it's a very bad combination indeed.

And so with that, "don't drink and gamble".

1) Do not gamble in work area : It is not ethical to do so. Your employer is paying you to work for him for certain hours. If you waste these hours for gambling, it is a bad habit.

I do it to a certain extent, nothing more. It is difficult to resist the urge when you are addicted, you will even try to find free time to place bets even though you are busy at rush hour. I didn't feel that bad, but some of my coworkers had been gambling blindly and never felt what the salary the company paid him due bad gambling addicted. Then, the second point emerged as an impact.

2) Do not take loan to gamble: Some young guys are so irresponsible that they take loans to gamble. It is a very bad move and can even produce life threatening conditions in future when loan recover agents knock your door.

Due to losing their entire salary in just a few hours, most people will take out loans. That's obviously a solution for them, but it will get worse if they borrow and risk it all on gambling after losing all their wages. These are some facts about how bad my coworkers are at gambling, they work to gamble because 100% of their salary plus loans have been gambled on gambling.

Loan sharks. Man it's not only while gambling really, it's any time in general. While I do feel like I'm pretty responsible with my money, it still doesn't take away the fear that one day I might become some random dumbass and suddenly take massive loans to hit it big. It's really not something I want to experience ever in my life.

Other than that hmm, I guess people in general? Some can't seem to stop seeing gambling as some sort of spawn of satan so they just keep on bothering you. Kinda ruins the feeling of playing. I doubt it'd happen since you usually play in casinos or at home, but hey, it might. Same with kids, but for a different reason. I mean, those are kids, you'd naturally stray away from them when gambling cause well, it's common sense at this point.

Either this board got so deranged that we literally have to remind people to stop gamblnig when working, or this has been a circulating problem in the community since Day 1 that we just addressed lately but either way we shouldn't have to remind people that working and gambling should be done separately, not together or whatever. It's stupid and you would think people would understand it cause hey, it's logical at its core and there's no inherent flaw behind the intent to stop someone from gambling when you're working but no, apparently people really do it like it's normal lol.

Anyway, take gambling as a form of entertainment only, never as a way for you to earn money, once you see it as a money-making machine, you're toast and you'd start doing stupid shit with it.

This is the worst of it all, anyone who takes loan to gamble is just an amateur to me because every expert in gambling is aware of the risk in gambling and are aware of the outcome of taking loans to gamble. Gambling with money you can’t afford should be discouraged by every gambler and loans are money we must pay back so we are not ready to lose them.

1. Gambling to earn money.

I know it is not advisable to gamble for the purpose of earning money but 90% of gamblers gamble to earn money and even those who say they gamble for fun also have interest in earning money I don’t think it is bad in my opinion but the only thing is that you should take greed out of gambling it is not a good practice.

Being in a workplace means working under someone else and receiving pay in exchange for work. If gambling at work causes distraction at work, then it is a good decision not to gamble at work. Gambling at work is fine for many people, gambling may not affect their work, but for those whose work is affected by gambling, I think they should stay away from gambling at all times, especially when they are working.

2) Do not take loan to gamble: Some young guys are so irresponsible that they take loans to gamble. It is a very bad move and can even produce life threatening conditions in future when loan recover agents knock your door.

Taking on debt is never a good sign. I never take a loan unless I absolutely need it. There is no question of taking loans for gambling where one does not take loans unless absolutely necessary. I have seen many relationships fail because of money. If I took a loan from someone but could not repay the loan on time, then the relationship between the borrower and the lender will not be good at all. Gambling is completely uncertain where money can be lost in a moment so taking a loan for gambling should never be done.

You're on point, dude. Gamblers tend to gamble under the influence of alcohol; it often happens if there is a drink session, and one of their favourite things to do is amble. I personally do this: when me and my friends are having a drink, we play a card game called "tong-its" because it's fun playing with friends, but we don't stake too much money; we only place small bets just for fun.

But it's unavoidable to notice that in most casinos, they offer or let the gamblers have alcohol. Well, it's part of the casino, especially in cally and expensive casinos. So many gamblers gamble under the influence of alcohol, but many are immune to this, which means that they can still gamble straight even after consuming alcohol. Some really want alcohol beside them because they think that it makes them gamble more efficiently, so it can't be avoided, but of course, being drunk and gambling is what we must avoid.

I think I'll only give one advice in here: never chase losses/wins. You are gambling for your entertainment, and not to make money. If you are looking for ways to make money, then work on your skills and do something productive on your time. There's no shortcut to making money, and a lot of beginners choose to take this path because they believe that they can also replicate the luck and success of some of the people that they see on the internet. Unfortunately, that's not the case with gambling. You will win some, but will certainly lose a lot if you continue walking on this path.

[Weawant]

When gambling it's important you don't do certain things regardless of what your reasons may be , this is because gambling isn't guaranteed at any point so going that extra mile may not worth in the long run, it's just better you stick to having fun with gambling and nothing beyond that.

One of the things I think shouldn't be done is borrowing to gamble, that is one of the most risky things you should never try because the aftermath is never a happy one, it's in most cases problematic. You should never depend on the money you are hoping to win as a guarantee for you to make promises as you may turn out very disappointed such that you will find it difficult to make up for. Don't ever gamble with money kept to take care of bills while hoping to replace it after your win, you may end up never been able to pay those bills.

Its for fun and dont go extra miles with that because on the time that you would really be molding up this kind of intention then this is where things do mess up.
Gambling isnt bad as long you do it in moderation, you wont really be finding yourself on great problem if you are really just that responsible towards your actions.
If not then expect on what would be the consequences. We do know that spending up money would really be the main concern on this one,
if you wont really be that mindful then you would really be wrecked up.

This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that sensible towards your actions and on how you do deal up with gambling.
Make yourself that responsible then you wont really be having no any problems with this.

This is about work professionalism. Personally, I really don't like it if someone gambles while working, because when you work in a company or agency you should focus on your work. Gambling can disrupt an employee's work, especially if they experience a terrible defeat, who can guarantee whether they will remain focused. That's why, working time is work, gambling time can only be used for gambling at certain times, not during working hours. Even though it is for entertainment reasons, gambling is not a suitable pastime while working.

In gambling every one have what it have to avoid base on the area the person is staying, so therefore I will say gambling is something you suppose calculate well of it before any other things, so therefore you can avoid betting in public with your system so that you will not be distracted in the gambling, sometimes what makes us not to win our gambling should be at results of lack of concentration during the time of predictions

[PX-Z]

1. Gambling to earn money.
2. Promotions aren't always make the gamblers will earn money.
3. Gambling base on people predictions or gamble on a game that many people likes.
4. Gambling when high.
5. Don't take any emotion or under pressure while gambling.

6. Don't bet on your favorite team especially if they are clearly no match against the opposite team (injured player, lack of scoring player etc.)
7. Do not gamble what you cannot afford to lose, set a stop loss just like trading.

0. But first thing first, do not gamble on unreputed casinos or casinos who have previous unsolved scam accusation.

Literally the reason why gambling exist is to earn money if not then it's just a game. Rather it's needs to be interpreted that gambling isn't supposed to be a source of income . Also, there's nothing wrong gambling and basing most of it on other prediction as long as they're known to it and has some backing on their prediction which is most likely is. Lastly, what's wrong gambling on a game that many people likes?

Anyways, here's mine: (1) Never gamble what you cannot afford to lose; (2) Avoid chasing loses; (3) Never use gambling as a source of income unless you're a professional but still no; (4) Never gamble if you don't have full control; (5) Never make a decision based of favoritism without sufficient information backing it but again no (applies on sportbets); (6) Never prioritize gambling on your funds.

This list will certainly be very extensive....
I don't know if it's already been mentioned here, but I'm going to mention the three things that I believe are the most important in gambling.
Every player should:

• Avoid believing that gambling is a way to make money. It's amazing how there are still people who play for money and not for fun, this is totally wrong!
• Stop suppressing your concerns about your gambling habit. If you have already realized that you have problems with gambling, recognize this, share it with a friend or family member... seek help before it becomes too late.
• Avoid using credit cards to pay for bets. Many people think that as long as they are playing with their own money, there is no problem. However, you must remember that the credit card is not your money... it is the bank's money that one day you will have to pay and if you are unable to pay, you will incur high interest rates.

I'd mention time because once you're focused on gambling, you might compromise your schedule if you don't keep track of the time. I remember reading a piece of news back then about a parent who put her child in danger because she was gambling and forgot about the time.

3. Gambling base on people predictions or gamble on a game that many people likes.

I agree if it's all the time, but still, you don't have to necessarily avoid this part when there's nothing wrong in trying some of the most recommended games.

[Darker45]

Do not gamble if you are depressed, guilty, feeling desperate, or whenever there's a strong emotion running inside you. You can't gamble when your focus is on something else.

Also, if you are not rich, don't go to a casino or a gambling club bringing so much money. In other words, don't bring with you money which you can't afford to lose even if you're only planning to gamble a small portion of it. If possible, bring only what you intend to gamble. That would also mean you shouldn't be carrying with you your credit and debit cards.
