What I've learned so far as a gambler

[Z390]

No one actually visits the casino to have fun

How about people that will have $200 to have fun and using just like $0.1 on every game so that the time they are gambling can be prolonged?  Did you know that some people will use the whole $200 at ones and see if they win or not.

The best approach that I have thought of is to use not more than your gambling budget but with the mindset that all can be lost as long as you can afford to lose it. But after winning, it is good to just quite for the day and not have the fun again.

You have a point, but I am not talking about how much rounds they can go with the $200, I am simply saying that doubling your money through gambling is good win, enough for anyone to take their break for another day, how ever they plan to play the game is left for them as everybody have their own strategies, but doubling $200 into $400 is good enough, like enough to make you walk away.

I have someone who used to work in a casino, he told me about how many times he have whisper to the ear of some gamblers, telling them to take their leave, but they won't listen and they will end up losing everything, they got mad and left with nothing, this person told me that winning in gambling is an alarm to walk away immediately if you want that money to stay in your pocket.

The ultimate strategy is to always use what you can afford to lose and also take your leave once you once you win and come back another day to try your luck, what you win isn't really yours yet if you are still playing to continue gambling, until you leave the casino and move on.
Gambling is a complete waste of time and money if it's not done completely for fun, only a fool would concentrate of gambling only to make them get rich, the risk isn't worth it if your goal is to keep gambling for money making purpose.

[the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.]

I love this quote and probably is also pretty true, because more you play, more you loss, or more you can risk to loss.
That's why some casinos try to lure people to play more and more and more...

But I think that in some case you can also loss. Gambling it's not "earn", but it should be just pure fun, like any other hobby that requires some effort/money to spent...

[Yaunfitda]

If you walk into a casino with $200 and you start playing with that $200 and you win $200, get the hell out, you simply just doubled your money, take your goddamn leave, what do you think you wanna do? Win a million dollars? You will go home empty handed.

That is already a huge win, if you can double your money, then that is big already and yeah, you should be quitting. You can't bring home the casinos, as what we have a local saying about it. And as long as you are winning, then it's good to quit early.

The next thing that rings in your ear is you can still win another or more, that's the devil whipsering, the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.

As for this, it's more on the emotions though, like at the back of your mind you wanted to came back and win for more because you think that you are lucky. But it could be the worst decision in your life and for sure you are going to regret it.

Yeah, just enjoy and have fun and just bring or deposit money that you can afford to lose. And so when you wake up in the morning, you are not affected by that defeat and life goes on.

It is a good idea, however, I believe everyone here have encounter something like that before.

The next thing that rings in your ear is you can still win another or more, that's the devil whipsering, the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.

Ones that First luck has come, it will be hard for it to come again, in gambling people win millions of money but I don't still believe they win them gradually, it all happened ones.
So that first time win one have to stop and continue another day until he win the millions he or she is expecting.

The only game where you have some power is in Poker, not the online one, this is the best game in casinos, as making profits off of bad players is possible.
As for Other games, You are at the mercy of the house.

I haven't tried the poker games before because I only bet on sports and the sport games are one of my favorites.

No one actually visits the casino to have fun, you gotta trick the mind, I like to think of it has a fun night out and I am going to spend a few hundred dollars and have a good time and if I win it's a bonus, like I've said, you gotta trick the mind.

I agree with that, if any gambler want to have fun he or she can go to else were to have more fun than waste money, however, many people really believes that the gambling hall is one of the best places to have fun, but it is not.

Always remember this, you are there to win a game where its statistically impossible to win at, it's not impossible to not understand this about gambling, a wise man once said, "if you want to make money with gambling, own a casino".

If a gambler can be able to double his or her money at first win then there is no need to bet more, it is only a greedy gambler that will still gamble even after doubling his or her money at first win.

No matter if I go home empty at least I enjoy my $200 because I tell you what, not all who come into gambling just thinking about winning millions, I'm doing this for fun. But if your mindset is to just gamble and win, then better stop your gambling habits as it only makes you regret.

What I've learned from gambling is that I know how to manage myself by not expecting too much. Stick to our limitation, if it is only $200 in our budget, then make use of it until we get burned and empty. If we have the chance, then it would be great but if not, then accept it because that is really what it meant to be.

Indeed, and it's not only about when you win but it's also about when you are constantly losing. A person will most probably lose all their money if they are losing and they keep going regardless of that, that is when the devil whispers as well, saying that you will recover the money in the next bet and that next bet never comes until the money is all gone and then the only thing that remains is regret which has no point since what has been lost can never come back.

However, some people gamble just for fun and don't care much about winning or losing, but that doesn't mean they will have to lose what they have no matter what. Such people, if manage to win something, can save their initial capital by just gambling on what they have won and that should be enough for having some fun.

[Litzki1990]

If I can go to the casino with $200 and convert the $200 into $400, I won't do any casino or gambling that day. Many people may say that whenever you double your money your mind will make you play more but I can control my mind so if I ever get a chance to double my money in a casino or if I ever hit the jackpot I Never gamble again. I never gamble on the principle that I go to a casino with $200 and go to the casino and lose $200. After losing, I withdraw more money from my account and gamble again. 

My gambling style is varied and specific. I will never gamble beyond a certain amount of money. Since that's all I've learned from gambling, I'm looking forward to hitting the jackpot.

If indeed $200 is an amount of money that has been determined and can be accepted then it is not problem if you lose that amount to enjoy gambling and have fun, but some people consider $200 to be large enough amount so it is not surprising if someone claims that this amount is it not worth losing in gambling.
After all, we are gambling with money and risk, so whatever we lose should be accepted easily, it just that we can always control it within these limits so that it doesn't exceed the amount that can be received.
Kudos to you because you can still accept every defeat and consider this loss as payment for enjoyment and entertainment.

Yes, it is true that from gambling we can learn lessons to control ourselves and also manage our finances better because if these two factors are ignored then gambler will never be able to experience the pleasure of gambling and they will not even be able to have happy heart in every condition.
So far, it is possible that not many gamblers have been able to take the positive side of gambling.

You can make money in gambling by just betting and you don't need to be a casino owner just to make money, what you need is to be more responsible and you can be good. There's a lot of gamblers who make a lot of fortune because they are betting professionally and they know how to handle the risk. Now the question is, are you ready for the risk and do you have what it takes to be a good bettor or gambler?

It's true! A lot of people end up losing in casinos because they keep on betting even after doubling their money, eventually leading to a loss. While some may be fortunate enough to win, most end up losing. To increase the odds of success, its recommended to set a realistic goal and avoid overcommitment.

Some individuals have found success by following a strict set of betting rules. These individuals have developed a system that allows them to make money consistently over time. Instead of relying on luck, they have identified patterns and trends in various games and have created a strategy to capitalize on them. This requires discipline, patience, and a thorough understanding of the games they are playing. By following their rules and sticking to their strategy, they are able to consistently win and make a profit without owning a casino.

It's good to see that a majority of responses under this thread, writes about gambling for fun. The goal is also to educate more people to understand the effectiveness of gambling for fun. It's never easy to turn gambling into a full time job that earns us constant income. What we're expected to do as gamblers is, taking it gradually and enjoying the process; win or loss. No one with the right gambling knowledge would see it as an avenue to make quick millions in our accounts. Your last line is a good attribute of gambling. Playing with what we won and saving our capital. Then stop gambling when the won money is exhausted. Unlike just leaving immediately like OP said once we win the exact money we have wagered. It can remove the possibility of winning more that very day. Gamblers are never advised to chase losses as it won't help them on the long run. They can go home sad, and when that keeps repeating itself they could be exposed to addiction. A bad sickness for gamblers. When we budget our time and money, knowing when to stop will be easy. And when our win is enough to keep us rolling more, then we can keep enjoying the day. Then buying more time, and expanding the possibility of making more wins. Those players who have a bad day, can give it a break and try another time. They has never been a time guarantees players to win often. Hence, if our wins are less than our losses. And we ain't comfortable with it, the right step to take is to close our computer or go home if we're in a casino.

Huh you say that they can make money on gambling? it seems that you really convince them to gamble if they want to make money, honestly it doesn't make sense, how can you say something that is uncertain and does not guarantee with great certainty? this is the wrong mindset and is not recommended for anyone who wants to enter gambling, if you bring the mindset and assumption that you can make a lot of money just by gambling then I say it's like you dig a hole to trap yourself.

Don't let your brain and thoughts run dominated by lust, because of course the casino will not easily give you a win unless you sacrifice a lot of money first then the casino will give you occasional wins of a certain amount and if you I'm sure the amount of your losses is still very large. Honestly, I really don't understand your statement, let's think logically and accept the real facts which have been proven and many people have experienced large losses. You must understand that gambling is nothing more than just a fun activity because the final result always depends on how lucky you are during that session. So it is not recommended to bring in a gambling mindset to make money if you don't want to get hurt, unless it's just for fun.

Someone here on the forum said, your ideas and reproaches towards the casinos start with removing the signature.

If you think like that, you shouldn't promote a casino, because in reality the casino is a pleasure and entertainment, within that range there is a band of losers, but those players do not define the environment through which many make a bet:  fun, spend time, leisure, etc.

The failed player is the only one who complains, those who enjoy being in a casino are left with the experiences, etc.  And the professional gambler lives from betting.

Making money in the gambling was not the easy one,you should have the luck.So the gambling sites algorithm will match to your algorithm,it's easy to win the game on the lucky time in the gambling sites.But many gambler was not ready to accept the fact that the gambling was based on the skills.The thoughts always dominated the command from the brain,the gambler thought was over come by the command from the brain.This was biggest reason the gambler was advised to get some trips after the loss or gain in the gambling sites.So the gambler will get the clear mind set,this help the gambler to prevent from the continuous loss in the gambling sites.

Maybe if most of us haven't experienced having this kind of temptation we may not really understand what's at stake for taking a decision in a critical time like this, the more we gamble the more we will always want more with gambling because no one would wanted to settle for less when they are having the opportunity to make more despite the high risk being involved, yet yiuy will still found out that some are taking their eyes away as if they don't know what's at stake.

[Casdinyard]

See, that's both a good and a bad logical process in my opinion, and I don't mean to cherry pick on what you said cause I know by all means and intents this is a post centered towards teaching people how to be responsible gamblers, but in my opinion, I would change one thing about that statement, or at least make something more distinct and more obvious.

Every time you gamble, you shouldn't prioritize "earning profits" as the pinnacle of your entertainment and self-actualizing experience. The act thereof of gambling should be the source of your fun. Cause regardless of what the outcome of your gambling session is, and I know this because this happened to me as well, you'd end up going back again and again for more if you haven't instilled some sort of self-discipline upon yourself. That which will help you against ridiculous gambling impulses.

i can very well agree with you here. one should set his limits before anything else, no matter if he is on the losing or winning side. that will give him boundaries on to what extent he will be in front of his games.
earning profits or have winnings, should just be a bonus and not the main reason why you are in this game. otherwise, you will continue to play up until you are satisfied with what you got, and normally you won't get those winnings.

There are definitely other places where you could make money in the long term.

For instance, sportsbetting. Lots of people have made a living just off betting on sports by having a better model and/or having an edge over the casino through the form of promotions. There's also profitable traders who look through arbitrage opportunities in an automated way (e.g., on an exchange like BetFair).

If you are playing these games that are clearly -ev then you shouldn't be expecting to profit from them. Go in with the mindset that you are going to get some entertainment out of it, but that is essentially all it is.

Really depends on what are your aims and hopes towards gambling because if you are really just that seeking for leisure thing then you wont really be finding yourself getting stressed on the time that you do play since you are really just that after for entertainment and leisure. Whereas, other people or gambler would really be that aiming for that different thing or intent on which it is really that making
money and this what most people would really be doing and this is where they do really become that addicted. This is why it would really be always better that you shouldnt really be aiming
for making yourself rich because its something that would really be that impossible with gambling. You cant really be easily be able to reach out such condition.

That's really the purpose of casinos, isn't it? The more the gamblers play, the more earnings come into the crypto part, which is the opposite of the gamblers. And I think other gamblers who enter the gambling house know this too, don't they?

That's why it's still good to play gambling without expectations. As mentioned, it should be fun only and nothing else. That's what we should do as casino players, so it's impossible because it's inevitable that there are other gamblers who are greedy and look them up in casinos as a source of income.
