What I've learned so far as a gambler

[angrybirdy]

successful gamblers are gamblers who know their limits and when they should stop. most gamblers only know how to hone their skills and how to win the game, but they don't learn how to stop themselves further, so that makes them make mistakes which make them lose their money, even though they should be able to make a profit. and therefore when a gambler can stop himself from gambling again, there he can be said to be a gambler who has matured in gambling and is not influenced by things he shouldn't.

Actually a professional gambler has enough power inside him to control gambling addiction. He indulges in gambling himself but does not advise anyone around him to indulge in this addiction. A gambler gains so much experience from gambling that he perseveres despite repeated gambling losses. An experienced gambler has a good enough knowledge of how to earn profits. A good professional gambler is also well aware of the do's and don'ts of gambling.

 Well, some professional gamblers really knows how to control theirself, they can manage well their finances and spending habits and I think they really learned from their past mistakes experience that's why they are used to it when they experiencing losses now. They don't need any advices from other people because believe me, they are aware. We can call them a professional gambler but we can't deny the fact that possible they have a chronic gambling addiction.

In fact, without trying to advise people, they will definitely learn from their experience in gambling, whether it's learning from losing and how to control their emotions properly when gambling. Professional gamblers started out as beginner gamblers who always experienced many mistakes in controlling themselves when gambling. That's what is called taking. lessons from failure because without failure we will never learn to know ourselves.

The way we know ourselves is to learn to understand how to control ourselves well when gambling. It is important to understand our character so that we can know what limits we have to make to be able to control ourselves, for example limiting each budget and time for gambling so that we don't get addicted to gambling easily, that's must be studied as a professional in gambling.

If the benchmark for being a professional gambler is like what you are talking about, I think I am a professional gambler.lol

However, it is true that self-control and learning from mistakes when impulsive and compulsive behavior occurs when gambling is bad behavior, and we really have to be able to make ourselves aware when emotions peak and refrain from making another deposit when we lose, which I almost got a big win but just one mistake was ruined.

I have an interesting way to control yourself, namely meditation, this will trigger your logic and soul to evaluate whatever you have done, so that you realize the mistakes you have made and then you can anticipate making those mistakes. again in the future.

To be honest, I'm not sure you can control it, because it's quite difficult to leave once you're enjoying the game. 
Playing poker is an option to play fairly because you are playing against other players, not the dealer.
Once again, what we need to know is that gambling is not a suitable place for one hit one run.
The most important thing is how you control your capital so that it doesn't run out and can still enjoy the game for a long time.

It is indeed difficult to control gambling activities, especially when we can get pleasure and we may even find it difficult to stop ourselves from gambling. Playing poker requires skills to win against our opponents, and learning these skills is not easy, so we are always required to learn to improve our skills. We also have to remember to practice what we have learned to know what to study further and what else we need to learn. Having self-control when playing gambling allows us to enjoy gambling games and also know when we should stop gambling. With everything we learn, we try to become wise gamblers in gambling so that we don't lose a lot.

so true. the only real wealth is the casino owner. I'm sure there is a lot of manipulation in the initial profit part of the strategy. Here we have to really be in control and really know when we can stop. Unfortunately for addicts who are even willing to spend their assets, they always think this is something that can generate wealth. without realizing they are having their assets drained. no matter how rich we are if we are gambling addicts it will make our assets run out no matter how people will take them. I always make this entertainment, play for fun without involving real assets.

This is called cautious gambling and it is actually wise. But you must not forget that casinos reap the most profits from addicts, not amateur gamblers.
This would be clearer to see if we could get statistics on the number of active casinos versus the number of gamblers. I am sure that the number of gamblers is small compared to the number of casinos, which are considered large. The idea is that the casino can achieve large profits even with a small number of users, given that a significant percentage of them are addicts and will spend all their money.

But unfortunately regret always comes at the end of the action when everything is already answered, and of course regret comes to confirm that the actions they took before were wrong, after all it is not uncommon or even very many people who advise and recommend to avoid acts of greed, especially in gambling activities, sometimes not only in this field, even in real life if we put greed then usually the final result is more disappointing, so that's why the importance of being grateful for whatever we have got. Greed is like you're negotiating with fate where basically fate has already said that that's the amount you should get in that session but because you're not grateful and instead put greed into it then fate will say something else, which is defeat. Let me know if the analogy isn't quite right.

Yeah, we're even tired of telling the other gamblers to stop being greedy and when they need to stop, just stop completely so that they'll not wasting their money.

But that's how it is going for most of us, even if we're seeing people don't obliged with our advises, we're continuing to give them the advise that they need to hear so at least they've heard or read us give that tip of care to them.

To be honest, I also feel that boredom, which means when the people we advise really don't follow what we have suggested. I have one friend who is also quite active in online-based gambling such as slot machines, in a week he can be involved up to several times, more or less maybe 5 times a week, he is one of my close friends who often spends time together and I am very tired of telling him that don't put greed and it's better to cash out when the situation is in his favor or he means he managed to get a win. But he always says "just a little bit more", he sets a winning amount, like $200 and when his winnings are still below that amount then he won't stop. A few minutes later I'd ask him again "has it reached that amount" and he'd say "it's all gone again" and I'd honestly just laugh at him. It happens a lot, and so the point is sometimes even though we have given advice quite often it always cannot be denied that the advice we give will be completely useful, greed really makes them like closing their ears and not listening to some of the advice that comes in even from the closest people.

Yes although overall greed does not always result in something worse but still if the percentage of disappointment is more often due to greed then it is better for us to avoid it. True, regret will always be a painful thing, and of course as you said that we can make it a lesson so that we don't go back into the same hole for the umpteenth time. If they have fallen in the same hole several times then I guess I have to suspect their mental health.

Let us not give a number but let us say it this way that overall of it, the majority that are greedy doesn't end up good when they gamble.

Yes that's true, but sometimes there are always people who think that the greed that they apply at that time will be able to make them smile broadly at the end of the session in the sense of reaching the amount of victory they want, simply put is that they assume that "this time I will not be one of the people who are adversely affected by greed", that belief is always the initial problem. I think the main problem is in the expectations they put, if indeed they put excessive expectations on gambling then obviously something that we always consider dangerous maybe for them it doesn't hurt to try or even with a few tries, the cause is due to expectations that make their confidence even higher. But if we understand overall that greed can always be bad in any case then I think they will object to doing it and prefer to cash out early.

Casinos do indeed thrive on the revenue generated by avid gamblers, especially those who exhibit addictive behaviors. Casinos are designed to be profitable enterprises. Their business models are carefully crafted to ensure sustained revenue, and a significant portion of this revenue comes from people with addictive gambling tendencies. Casinos have the infrastructure and resources to attract a diverse range of patrons.

The actual number of regular gamblers may be relatively small in comparison. This imbalance allows casinos to generate substantial profits even if only a fraction of their patrons are frequent, because they are high-spending gamblers. The concept of cautious gambling may not significantly impact the casino's bottom line. Cautious gamblers who set limits and approach gambling as a form of entertainment may not contribute big to a casino's profits as addicted gamblers who are willing to spend beyond their means. This discrepancy is not solely due to the actions of the cautious gambler but is also a result of the casino industry's reliance on addictive behaviors to drive revenue.

At least gamblers must be able to be disciplined in their behavior when they have to decide to leave gambling because of winning or because of a losing streak.
Often we as gamblers enjoy the game too much. and always want to get bigger wins. that's what gamblers sometimes miss.
I agree that every gambler must be disciplined in gambling. that's what separates an addicted gambler from a wise gambler.

We all want to win, and the desire to win is part of the game, and if we don't enjoy the game, we can't try again next time. There is no bad thing about trying to win; the only place where I see something wrong is when someone allows their desire to control their decision and their gambling habit.
 
We can still be lovers of the game with a high desire to win and still be in control of how we gamble. It's possible, although it's easier said than done, but everything is just based on self-discipline and control, and nothing more than that. If you decide to be in control, you can be in control of why you love the game, and anytime you win, you take it that way and still hope for that big win you desire.

The gambler should learn to live like the Phoenix bird who raise again and again in the sun.It was the story in many circle of the world,once their was the bird which fly towards the sun.As we know the birds doesn’t have capable of making the fly in sun,this over heat cause the birds to die after nearing the sun.But every time the Phoenix will get the new soul from the dust of the birds.Like this the gambler should start from the ground to reach the top winners list in the gambling site.The self confidence was the essential one to get into gambling after the big money loss in the same gambling site.The reason is the gambler get huge experience along with the loss.

It is similar to the tobacco or alcohol industry. Companies active in these fields make their revenues from those addicted to these substances, not from those who consume them with caution. The only difference with gambling is that gamblers have the possibility of being lucky one time to win, while other sectors are purely consumer sectors and there is no benefit to the consumers.
Despite the small number of consumers of gambling services compared to other sectors such as alcohol and tobacco, it is considered a promising sector and capable of providing fantastic profits, even with a small number of users.

Same story from most gamblers.

We will never get that profit if we're not contented in the first place. Whether it is a hundred dollar profit or less than that if the gambler doesn't see its worth by that time, they won't withdraw it.

Yes that's true, but sometimes there are always people who think that the greed that they apply at that time will be able to make them smile broadly at the end of the session in the sense of reaching the amount of victory they want, simply put is that they assume that "this time I will not be one of the people who are adversely affected by greed", that belief is always the initial problem.

That's the difference of greed for them as per description. If it helps them to have that satisfaction at the end, that's good for them but for the majority, it doesn't really do any good.

I think that all these bad habits certainly have a bad effect on human health. But many people cannot imagine their life without smoking a cigarette every day. Same with gambling. It was interesting to look at the statistics, but I think that the global gambling turnover is increasing every year. I would like to know how long this will last, because many people end up suffering from the fact that they have lost a lot and after this families break up, and the addicted gambler must be sent for compulsory treatment.

Over my years of gambling, I have understood a lot, but one of the main things is that we and only we control the size of our bet. We are responsible not only for ourselves, but also for our family. Therefore, if we do not limit ourselves in the game and play a responsible game in which we know our loss limit for this evening, then we can call ourselves a weak player who will lose everything in the end. Remember this and learn from the mistakes of other gamblers.

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.

This is one of the hardest task to evade as a gambler.... When once a gambler wins, it's a ticking time-bomb to explode and find other innovative ways (if not the same route) just to win more and more... Sometimes, they know too well the intricacies of gambling again, but they still have that inward, daft feeling that everything's gonna be okay... How???
okay... In a case where the gambler wagers everything and nothing shows forth, what happens??..

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.

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.

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.
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".

I agree, it's very rare to win like this in gambling, especially if your playing budget is small. Because as long as you continue to play gambling, your money will continue to run out, just like in gambling, as long as you stay with them, the money you won will run out and run out as well as your own money too.
I also believe that some people play gambling to have fun and I am one of them.

But what makes it a good decision to leave when you won $200? What if you play a game that involves a minimum level of skill and you feel good, you don't feel emotionally overwhelmed, you are not drunk and you are healthy in your mind, why should someone stop at $200? Maybe stop at $150 because that is 75% gain for nothing, wouldn't it be crazy to risk that 75% to get the full 100% gain? Because it could still all be lost.

This another example where there isn't a fixed rule and you could argue in so many ways what is right and what is wrong. What if you took the $200 with some friends and you said you spend the night in a casino, but you doubled the money after 10 minutes? Cancel the casino visit and go get wasted in a bar instead?

[TimeTeller]

If your budget is small, then, you already know for yourself that you are gambling just for fun.
Hard to aim that you will hit the target if your bankroll is indeed small, normally you'll gonna get busted outright.
So when you have small bankroll, just enjoy the game, bet small and don't hurry.
You are there inside to play and have some entertainment. It is not a race to get winnings.

That's the danger if we put too much hope in winning, especially if we set the number of wins or target the number of wins as my friend who I mentioned above did, the main problem in my opinion is placing too much hope in winning and thinking too much about it. all of that is easy when you are in a winning situation, which of course makes you think "there's no harm in pursuing a little more" which of course ends up regretting remaining at the end of the session.

With a low level of hope and not being too excessive in responding to winning in gambling, I think this can make them slightly reduce their sense of satisfaction with winning, or meaning that it doesn't matter how much they win, which might make them consider the best option to take, such as cashing out. earlier.

Yes that's true, but sometimes there are always people who think that the greed that they apply at that time will be able to make them smile broadly at the end of the session in the sense of reaching the amount of victory they want, simply put is that they assume that "this time I will not be one of the people who are adversely affected by greed", that belief is always the initial problem. I think the main problem is in the expectations they put, if indeed they put excessive expectations on gambling then obviously something that we always consider dangerous maybe for them it doesn't hurt to try or even with a few tries, the cause is due to expectations that make their confidence even higher. But if we understand overall that greed can always be bad in any case then I think they will object to doing it and prefer to cash out early.

That's the difference of greed for them as per description. If it helps them to have that satisfaction at the end, that's good for them but for the majority, it doesn't really do any good.

But overall I think everyone especially those who think using common sense will agree with the idea that greed is synonymous with behavior that is not recommended, not least because most people already know about the adverse effects they will experience if only the action is done, especially related to gambling which basically always involves feelings, mental and psychological that can change at any time just because of the situation. So in conclusion most people will not agree that greed will always be able to make them end up with satisfaction, because in gambling it is very difficult to achieve such results.

[tygeade]

Let us not give a number but let us say it this way that overall of it, the majority that are greedy doesn't end up good when they gamble.

But if we understand overall that greed can always be bad in any case then I think they will object to doing it and prefer to cash out early.

The lucky days are the reason they have so much hope and greed. I mean if you ever had a day where you start with a hundred bucks and end with thousands, then you will know why people do that and should do something that will possibly hurt their balance all together. I mean in the normal times of the day, we do not really have anything like that, but during times when we are dealing with a situation like it's been a short while since you won a lot, then your brain tells you that you may end up winning again, and that's a lot more important.

I personally hope that the best thing to do would be just letting it be, and we may end up with something that could benefit everyone at all times. I think that's the most important part. So, we need to ignore our wins, and act as if we didn't win to make sure that we could do better, if we focus too much on our wins then we can't do much and the results will not be all that nice, it could even be a bit hurtful.

[boyptc]

IMHO, there's no problem if you're too optimistic with your bets and you're hopeful with them. But with what we've experienced, when you get to the point that hope and optimism you've got don't match the results. That's the time that you need to change and probably a sign to just stop.

But overall I think everyone especially those who think using common sense will agree with the idea that greed is synonymous with behavior that is not recommended, not least because most people already know about the adverse effects they will experience if only the action is done, especially related to gambling which basically always involves feelings, mental and psychological that can change at any time just because of the situation. So in conclusion most people will not agree that greed will always be able to make them end up with satisfaction, because in gambling it is very difficult to achieve such results.

Yup and I do agree with that. Someone who's letting his greedy eat himself will go nowhere to be found. The effects and impacts of it will be too obvious to see and we've seen it not just with a few people but with several and lots of them in the past.

And what's scary is that number isn't decreasing.
