What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ?

[Wiwo]

The only true thing every gambler should learn is to find out the best moment to avoid and not continue playing if he is losing big.Also it is better you play in a very cozy relaxed place like in your home office studio or a coach in full quietness as that would be great to enhance his chances to win and even if he does not win it is a great ambient to think carefully and to stop playing when everything goes wrong.

Other than this I don't know what other things will enhance your session by avoiding them,it is something everybody knows that you should not play in a crowded mode with your friends as you are not that focused,so to keep the chat of the casinos off is a great way to remove distractions.

The gambler was playing in the gambling site which was the gaming site,So the possibility of loss also the part of the game.The experience gambler will know this fact,but this was the new fact for the gambler who was new to gambling site.Playing the gambling at the peace place was the important one for the gambler to make the better win in the gambling site.If the gambler was in the bad mindset it’s enough for the gambler to made the random bet in the gambling site,So the result will be the negative from my experience.

The first thing to have at the back of your mind as a gambler is that,  you can lose all of your money so it is advisable to gamble with only a small amount that you can afford to lose at any time since it is what is attainable with gambling at most and should clearly be accepted by the gambler before anything else. 

And also having a mentality of becoming rich with gambling os another trap that can affect or get the gambler hooked on addictions for a long time,  so for that if you can have financial management and restrictions,  it will help a whole lot for the gambler to remain at flot with whatever outcome that may come across them.

You are absolutely right. Based on what you have said, I also think that a gambler should be very conscious of their balance while they are gambling. Sometimes while gambling, you can continue wagering without realizing that you have almost exhausted your gambling funds. It's when you now want to stake another round and you are notified that you have exhausted your funds. One guy had an ugly experience just today in one casino house close to my friend's  shop. According to the cashier, the gambler gambled off more than $80, which he had paid for and decided to go again, and he gambled up to $95 again. Meanwhile,  he came to the casino with $120. He gambled $175 and paid $120. He negotiated with the cashier so that he could bring the balance later, but was refused such a privilege. He just ended up bringing a public embarrassment upon himself.

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.

I can never borrow or take a loan to gamble that is act of irresponsibility for doing such act the consequences or aftermath of losing such Money in gambling can be very embarrassing especially if the person is an adul, personally I gamble for fun based on my preference for soccer and I only gamble with the amount of money I afford to lose and I don't also gamble in my work place afterall I place my bet on my phone and mostly take my pick for the weekend matches on Friday evening at home after closing from my day job and I knew the distraction I would battle with at my place of work

[Dewi Aries]

When you were in loss you'll never know what you were doing. The mind will be completely focused on recovering the loss and the same could end up losing more. Take breaks, and make a comeback. At any cost never borrow money to spend. If you don't have money just keep rolling with no bet amount.

It is a lot of emotion to take a break in gambling if you are already in loss. Most gamblers understand this and it takes you to be bankrupt before you can try to stay away. So except the first instance of staying away because of lack of fund takes a long time than necessary then you can gradually start to forget your loses but if you are able to get additional funds almost immediately your bankroll was exhausted, you are likely to refund the account and start gambling again. So it takes a whole lot of effort and commitment plus lack of fund to take a break.

It all starts with their unpreparedness in facing all the risks that are clearly very likely to occur, if there is someone who overreacts or means too emotional when the final result loses then I would say that they are not responsible gamblers. They have to understand that gambling is about winning and losing and what can make them win is nothing more than the luck factor pushing, so if the final result loses then that means there is absolutely no luck helping them.

Yes most gamblers know that but also most of them can't hold their emotions or can't be firm in applying good self-control so something out of control happens, such as continuing to gamble by repeatedly depositing money which finally makes them end up very tragically with all the money they have or even some valuable assets lost. Therefore I think there is only one way to be able to minimize all the bad possibilities, namely you must have a proper understanding of gambling and also be a responsible gambler by being able to accept all the consequences.

[STT]

Never borrow to gamble as its seriously a setup for a mafia hit on yourself in some shape or form you are taking on the worst possible luck as a loaded gun.  However the work one is too variable to say absolute yes or no, really seriously depends on the job.  I've had jobs we had to wait around for the truck to arrive, depending on the weather it could be a long delay and it was just waiting that was the job with awkward not nice timed hours so there was the time for some small gamble in that waiting period I'd argue.      I get the general point of distraction and incorrect context could again interfere with the bet making it bad, thats not a bad point either.

[Accardo]

Never set limits on win and wager for it. Next thing be careful with wagering contests, because those contest could end your wallet balance and what you win at the end used to be nothing. Never chase loss, take time and spend. When you were in loss you'll never know what you were doing. The mind will be completely focused on recovering the loss and the same could end up losing more. Take breaks, and make a comeback. At any cost never borrow money to spend. If you don't have money just keep rolling with no bet amount.

Everything you say is something that we should avoid when we gamble because that is what can make us control ourselves when gambling. We may experience a decrease in our level of self-control along with our gambling activities. However, if we are still aware and feel that we have had enough gambling, we can immediately stop gambling because if not, we could experience loss and it will not stop before we run out of all the money. When we experience loss, there will be an urge to recover from that loss by continuing to gamble. But we must be able to control our emotions and think clearly whether it is worth continuing or whether it is better for us just to stop gambling. And with the experience we have gained, we can think about stopping the gambling game and leaving the casino before we experience more losses.

Gamblers should easily avoid taking loans while gambling because it gets too difficult along the line when their payment is due. They have nothing to gain out of it, as only a few would win big using borrowed money. The idea isn't acceptable. If the need to gamble insists, they can easily play the demo mode. Chasing loss is becoming common amongst gamblers and the number of gamblers who make this mistake, fail to figure out how to stop it. Because they get tired when the money in their bankroll gets exhausted. A lot more things to avoid while gambling, include; unlimited gambling sessions, lack of self-control, not knowing when to stop, expecting quick money, etc. Those who gamble every single time, don't perform well in gambling. As their brain isn't settled, it keeps getting worked out till the gambler is stressed to the extent of not being able to control himself. Putting lots of load on the brain derails a good performance of the brain. Such players also forget about their daily activities, financial responsibilities, and hobbies. All-day gambling, apart from the waste of funds, contributes to addiction. The gambler rarely goes out to discuss with humans; friends or family. Soon the person can't get himself out of the developed habit. They start to struggle with changing themselves.

Knowing when to stop gambling is more like giving ourselves a few days or weeks' break from gambling. Recovering with our inner selves, calculating how much was spent in gambling, and taking a full rest, is crucial in reviving a gambler's sense of making good predictions. Nothing dwindles the life of a gambler like not being able to stop. I prefer the gambling strategy which requires a gambler to gamble for 4 days, then rest for at least 2 days before going back to gamble. Then while on vacation we can gamble for a few months and then rest for another 2 weeks. Preparing the mind for a better gambling session. However, whenever we fail to practice these things, the brain gets so worked up that, the gambler gets confused about his new development. But, it then seems like an involuntary action, where the gambler is aware of his inabilities, but can't help it. Even when offered help, he can get offensive and blame his helper. It has a huge bad psychological effect on the player. Opening up would be his worst struggle. Battling with the therapist, and resisting therapy sessions. What would become of such a gambler if his actions were fueled initially, by borrowed money? wouldn't that be a double trouble? Gambling responsibly is excellent for us all. Everyone should stay clear of borrowing money to gamble. It isn't worth the mental disorder walking behind it.

So it takes a whole lot of effort and commitment plus lack of fund to take a break.

Well, that's not the case with everyone, because I'm a gambler as well, maybe not a regular one, but I do gamble sometimes when I feel like, and when I see that I'm constantly losing, even after changing the games and trying to play with the bet amounts, I take a break for some time and come back after a few hours. The reason behind that is that I realize my luck isn't working at the moment, and if I try and force it, I will only lose all my bankroll without winning anything at all.

So, what I do is I go away, come back after a few hours, sometimes even after a day, and then I start playing again, I know that it doesn't necessarily make you win once you do that, but it is at least better giving yourself another chance because what if you become lucky the next time you try?

[Wiwo]

Do not play your entire bankroll in just one dice roll. The fun will be over in less than a second. If you have to bet $0.10 as your starting point then be it. You'll have a higher chance of at least winning some. You'll have some success if you start your martingale from the very minimum amount.

Martingale is still not such a great strategy after all, and if the gambler is not so very lucky, martingale is still another way to quickly end up with an empty bankroll before the gambler even get a chance of entering into a fair winning streak, this mostly, is for those with not enough or large amount of money in their bankroll.

So for me, if the gambler is a pleb who doesn't have alot of money and wanna play for longer time, better to bet the minimum betting amount and stick to that, atleast with this, if the gambler loses it all, he or she doesn't have to blame him or herself much, but blame it all on not being lucky enough.

Having to adopt an approach that will bring your balance liquidation closer is one of the sure fast way to lose out in your session no matter what the profits mergin percentages could be for you, that is because many times that I have read about gamblers that use the martingale approach,  they tend to lose out of funds too quickly and that has been the experience of 8 out of every 10 gamblers who adopt that technique in playing.

I have not used that technique before but I have always known of risk and for that,  I try as much as possible to avoid that and focus on using the approach that has always worked for me based on my luck level and state.

Common Gambling Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
7 Common Gambling Mistakes You Should Know About


There are lots of articles online that tell about gambling mistakes that we should avoid and how to fix them.  But I think the most common mistakes and the most crucial one is not having self-control.  Even without knowledge of the gambling we are playing, having self-control always limits us to losing huge amounts of money.  It also helps us not to lose precious time because this self-control will makey us leave the casino to attend to more important matters.

That's very correct and I have been a victim also sometimes back , I mean it takes alot of courage my friend to actually stop playing or exhausting your funds when you are in loss and I believe only a few percentage of gamblers can actually control this because like you said the moment any money come to your hand that period when you are gambling you will practically fund all of them and start back again trying to win back your money which deepens you to more losses except you know this from the start and stop it, you would probably lose all your bankroll and more trying to win back your capital money used initially to gamble.

[Bitinity]

The other thing to avoid to add can be: avoid gamble in public places. It becomes my concern because I experience myself to watch some young generation who play slot games in a coffee shop and in a park. I believe they are a group of friends who love to gamble so they gamble in a group but they played individually with their own mobile phones. I have no idea why they did it since it is very dangerous as they might be caught by the Police since gambling is an illegal activity in my country. I would also avoid gamble in online casino using free public wifi as it is always better to use our own personal internet connection.

If they feel that their need to gamble is urgent, it means they have become seriously addicted to gambling because gambling is just for entertainment. It is not an activity that must be fulfilled immediately. If there are people who say things like that, they should be able to check themselves because it seems that they have a gambling addiction so they should really reduce their gambling activities for a while and divert their minds from gambling by doing other things. Regardless of using borrowed money or their own money, if there is a strong desire to gamble at a moment's notice that they cannot avoid, it is clearly a sign that they are addicted to gambling. Someone who is not addicted to gambling can always divert their mind to other things so that they do not feel that gambling is something urgent. They understand that there are other more urgent things to do and that is not gambling because, for them, they can gamble at any time and it is not a primary need. People who can use gambling as entertainment will not think about gambling too often because they want to avoid the problems that have happened to other people in gambling. They will also always be careful when gambling and the most important thing is that they always avoid gambling excessively so they won't get into any problems.

People who have used gambling correctly can know when they should stop gambling and leave gambling for a while. They would prefer other things to do rather than just gambling because they realize that only by doing other things can they avoid thinking about gambling. Especially if they are so busy with their daily routine that they won't want to spend their time gambling. Gambling for them is just an activity that doesn't need to be done every day or too often because if they lose self-control, they will get deeper into gambling without being able to stop gambling easily. We can only continue to try to fight the urge or desire to gamble so that we will not be interested in gambling even though we have already gambled several hours before. We will always remember that by playing enough gambling, we can avoid the problem of losing money at the gambling table and also avoid the biggest problem that many gamblers have experienced where they experience a gambling addiction that is difficult to cure.

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 think it depends on the kind of game you're gambling on, and the kind of work you're doing or how busy you're. If you get a long period of break or most at times you're less busy, then you can use a moment to quickly gamble, but personally I don't welcome it because I would lose concentration, and it could cost me my bet.

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.

That's a very bad thing to do. Gambling is an uncertain outcome that could go in your favour or the other way round and borrowing to gamble is something that should be frown at.

[Slow death]

a few days ago I saw a website that gave some very good advice about gambling and today when I saw this thread again I remembered the website, but as it had been days since I didn't remember the link to the website, so I had to take a few minutes to look for the website link that I luckily managed to find, here is one of the many pieces of advice that the website gave:

Don’t use gambling as a way to cope with bad feelings. Gambling when feeling low might seem like a distraction, but will make things worse in the long run, especially if money is lost


Don’t drink or use drugs when gambling. Drugs and alcohol cloud judgment, and good judgment stands as someone’s main line of defence against letting gambling get out of control.

source: https://life-stuff.org/gaming-gambling/gambling-and-how-to-keep-it-under-control/

I posted these two points because I consider them more important, unfortunately when people hear things like: "look at gambling as fun", people think that gambling can be a refuge to forget about the problems they have at work , at school, at home or problems with family members or problems with friends. or in some cases they think it could be a way to overcome an addiction. but unlike other forms of fun such as singing a song, playing the viola, playing the piano, playing sports, attending art classes, traveling to many places, going to watch basketball, boxing, tennis, football, these things make your thoughts focus on what is happening

For example, a person has an argument with his wife at home because his salary isn't enough to pay all the bills, that person can't stop thinking about that argument, so that person leaves and goes to watch a football game, at that moment when that person is watching a football game, she stops thinking about the argument she had at home with her wife and when that person returns from the stadium, she returns with thoughts more focused on solving the problem and less stress and goes back to having a good conversation with her wife. but if that person had gone to play at the casino after an argument, then the problem would have gotten worse, the fight would probably have been violent because he went to play and lost while he already had little money.

I would also avoid gamble in online casino using free public wifi as it is always better to use our own personal internet connection.

Without a doubt those gambling on the open in a country in which this is illegal are making a very dumb mistake and they will eventuality suffer the consequences of making it, however anyone that has sensitive information on their smartphone should avoid connecting to a public WiFi, as I have known people on the past that got their data stolen and the only explanation about how this could have happened was because of their use of those connections.

[leonair]

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.

Anyone who gambles at work is definitely considered a gambling addict.  And whoever does that will never be good at gambling.  Because he can't keep his full focus on gambling at work.  This will greatly increase his chances of losing gambling

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.

Loans are very dangerous things and when one gambles with these loans it becomes a death trap for him.  So it must be avoided at all times.  Because gambling can't guarantee that someone will make a profit.  So if you don't have the ability to gamble with a loan, it will be a very scary experience for him if he loses the gambling.

The gambling was illegal in some countries,but it was the wrong mistake made by the government of that country.Because by allowing the gambling to their country,the government can earn the money from the gambling site as the taxes and tax from the gamblers for their transactions to their money into the gambling site.If the gamblers made the big win in the gambling site,the gamblers will be charged for their winning money transactions.Because the gambling winnings will be more dollars,So the government get more money as the taxes from the gamblers too.The gamblers should not use the public Wi-Fi which was free to access in the public places,So the Wi-Fi admin canable to get our personal data through our smartphone.

When you were in loss you'll never know what you were doing. The mind will be completely focused on recovering the loss and the same could end up losing more. Take breaks, and make a comeback. At any cost never borrow money to spend. If you don't have money just keep rolling with no bet amount.

It is a lot of emotion to take a break in gambling if you are already in loss. Most gamblers understand this and it takes you to be bankrupt before you can try to stay away.

So it takes a whole lot of effort and commitment plus lack of fund to take a break.

What do you think should be the solution to this, because this is very relatable to most gamblers around me. They gamble till they do not have any funds to continue that is when they feel like to quit gambling at the moment. As for me i do fal in that situation especially when i exceed the time i scheduled for gambling.

It seems one need to be in that situation to learn a lesson. When it happens to a gambler multiple times after several ignorance to control these habit a gambler will find a way either to stop gambling or force himself to be disciplined. These are the two choices if he wants to avoid continous loss of funds.

[Dzwaafu11]

Loans are very dangerous things and when one gambles with these loans it becomes a death trap for him.  So it must be avoided at all times.  Because gambling can't guarantee that someone will make a profit.  So if you don't have the ability to gamble with a loan, it will be a very scary experience for him if he loses the gambling.

The worst thing a gambler will do is gamble with loan money, which is very risky. Whether you win or lose, gambling with loan money will not favour a gambler, so therefore, I consider those who take loans and gamble as people who have become addicted to gambling, so they are looking for a way to gamble just to derive pleasure. However, I will advise all gamblers to avoid taking loans and gamble, even if they think the game they predict is a sure one that will come and they will get their money back with profit. This is not advisable, and if they continue, it will end in financial losses and the loss of property, so therefore all gamblers should avoid taking loans and gamble.

It's nothing more than doubling the risk that they will take first the risk of losing from the gambling activity that you do, secondly the risk of borrowing money that you do, increasing the loan amount is something that they will then do when the final session is still not in their favor or meaning unlucky, and after that obviously the worst thing is getting into debt, so there are two impacts that you will feel at the same time, the pressure of losing and the pressure of the many people who collect debts from you.

Basically, someone who has entered the addiction zone usually likes to overdo it and therefore it is exactly what you said that people who are desperate to take out loans just to gamble then they are clearly one of the people who are already addicted because they are too excessive in their involvement. Good advice in the idea of forbidding someone to use loans as an alternative if they've run out of money or don't have any money because it's not an alternative but nothing more than a trap for yourself.
