Here are two things to take note of before gambling
1.have a budget:it's very crucial to set a budget, decide how much money you are comfortable spending on gambling
Always stake what you can afford to lose. Have a limit and stick to it, doing it this way wouldn't put you under
Pressure and anxiety
2.Take breaks:This is a very important point..gambling can be very addicting especially when we start excepting a lot from it
From the first point I made I said you should always stake what you can afford to lose but it's important to
Take regular breaks especially when your losses are more than your wins.give yourself time to recover cause it's all about maintaining a healthy balance...I hope this helps someone out there

I've seen several topics about responsible gambling. Everyone is aware of this topic, and we frequently warn people about the dangers of gambling and advise them on what not to do. However, I wanted to add that, in addition to setting a budget, it's also important to establish a time limit for how long you'll spend gambling. To avoid conflict with your work, family etc. Additionally, it's crucial to avoid borrowing money to gamble with because you run the risk of losing it and wasting your money. It will also result in a lot of debtors and financial problems for you.

It has come to my attention that certain people engage in illegal gambling, whereby they combine their vices of drugs and alcohol. Such people need to use their winnings from gambling to support their unhealthy habits. An action must be taken immediately.

That is why it is important to take a break and do some stuff that can divert your attention, like setting a daily time to exercise, go out with your friends and spend more time with your family. It is common knowledge that gambling should not be our primary source of income.  It is important to have a realistic expectation and understand that the house always wins.

What are the other options mate? because that only gives us 2 to choose 

but going to what title asking? a responsible gambling means you know what are you dealing and what is heading you to fulfil that , the better way to become a responsible gambler is to become a responsible person.

if you can prioritize your family and life and making gambling just for outside personal?

then you will be the best gambler the world will ever had, but since there is other choices , don't know what to stand on those.

But the problem is that most gamblers can't be attentive to their family when they're too focused on gambling. And even if they say that they're going to take care of them, they just can't because that's impossible when your sole focus isn't on your family. A responsible gambler does responsible gambling and doesn't get affected by what they do with their important matters like addressing family issues.

I may not be the best gambler in the world but I can say that I am a responsible one and I know the limitations that I am setting even with these settings. I know how it feels to be spending that much that I can't to afford to lose so before that I spend the money, I'll think of many things first like including my family before proceeding to gamble. And there are many other factors that OP didn't mentioned on how to gamble responsibly but he seems not coming back after posting his tips.

If a gambler takes a break and then comes back without having a new trick under his sleeves, it will not change his luck but the same outcome again. A new strategy to win or a strategy to just reduce his gambling activity will do if he is trying to quit gambling.

I don't think that a proper strategy would do much better to change someone's luck. Yeah, reducing gambling activity can have some positive impact on someone's luck. You know when we become mental relaxed and have positivity around us then our luck somehow changes but when we have negativity around us and we are stressed then our luck also gets worse in those times.

I believe responsible gambling is all about our understanding that how much time should we give to gambling activities and when to take the necessary breaks that we need in order to recover from the stress that we get when we lose. Of course one should also reduce his/her gambling activity if he/she is consecutively winning because over happiness is also going to cause much troubles later.

It's a highly repetitive topic, but I'll share my views about it anyway.

The things you are talking about aren't wrong, you are right that gamblers should have a budget and a limit when they are gambling and they should also take breaks frequently when they are gambling. However, only responsible gamblers can do these things and you will barely find a lot of responsible gamblers these days. People tend to believe that they can earn a lot of money from gambling and they enter the gambling market with very high expectations and then face disappointment when they can't achieve what they were dreaming of,

That's a very common practice. You will barely see a person who is playing within the limit and without the aim of earning money from gambling and is enjoying their gambling experience.

When we mention that gamblers should have a budget, it this mandatory that the budget be a written budget or a mental budget? I may gamble on the spot with a spare cash that i was gifted, it is not a budget.
What I know that is the main thing about responsible gambling is doing what you said you would do, irrespective of how you feel. Gamble within time frame and leave when the time reaches, gamble on certain days, gamble with budgeted or spare cash. There are also hidden behaviors that are not exhibited that is also a part of responsible gambling as well.

Budgeting have to do with alot of work and both mental and physical budget should be kept to help the gambler to be kept upto date with things as there happens, many times we are faced with things such as this, on how best to keep our gambling budget set up so as to get in touch with them.anytime it seems we may be going above our set limits, this way we are helped to be concuse of our actions and decisions, this helps us to gain freedom from possible greed or addiction tendencies and to mentain our bases while gambling.
Many times, the easiest way to know how responsible a gambler is, check how best they handle their financial bugets and how discipline they are in doing that.l

It is necessarily we endeavor to become a responsible gambler. Anything we are doing, it is important we are ready to bear the consequences or else shifting the blame on others would never help us. Any decision we are taking as a gambler must be made carefully or we might end up getting opposite results.
 As gambler, becoming responsible one might not be easy for us because of greed and other factors that could play a severe role and make us regret our decision. Anything we are doing, we need to look out for being responsible or else we might find ourselves becoming a gambling addict.

[Slow death]

People often don't ask themselves why they chose to do a certain thing, they simply do that thing. When we talk about responsible gaming, we first need to ask ourselves why are we playing? What do we want to achieve when we play? When we have the answer to these 2 questions then we move on to another phase which consists of knowing how to manage time and money taking into account the objectives we want to achieve when we play. For example, when a person sets the objective of making a profit by playing, that person already starts off wrong, because they haven't done any research on the games and don't know that they won't make a profit, so even if that person manages to manage their bankroll well and manages it well, of time

Even so, this person will not be able to be successful in gambling, they will lose all the money they put into gambling. So what should this person do? In my opinion, this person must manage money well in the real world, so the amount of money this person will put into the casino will be an amount of money that they can afford to lose because they won't miss it, the most important thing is What this person should focus on is making profits and having fun in the real world and what they do in the online world is secondary and of little importance, this is the key to preventing people from becoming addicted. when a person has a lot of things to do in life, there is little time left to engage in things like alcohol, sex with many women, drugs and gambling addiction, happy people do not have addictions

It maybe but sometimes no matter how positive a person is, his luck in gambling sucks.  The better things that having a positive mindset while in gambling is that, the gambler is rarely affected by the loss experienced in gambling and always have a cheerful endeavors that reduces pressures and stress made by losing streak.

I believe responsible gambling is all about our understanding that how much time should we give to gambling activities and when to take the necessary breaks that we need in order to recover from the stress that we get when we lose. Of course one should also reduce his/her gambling activity if he/she is consecutively winning because over happiness is also going to cause much troubles later.

Responsible gambling is applying limitations and moderations in gambling.  No matter how one understand things about gambling if he don't apply these things in his gambling engagement, then gamblers action won't be called responsible gambling.

Always be mindful and consider out on how you would really be that making  yourself that getting affected if ever you would be doing it. This isnt only talking about on gambling alone but also in other things in life that you should really be that responsible when it comes to that. If ever you had neglected out those risks then still go ahead just because you do really wanted to do so then you are really that putting yourself into that trouble on which this is something that must be avoided in the first place. Its never been worth on trying out to exchange out your leisure wants and preference just
because you are really that minding about the satisfaction that you could get and this is something not really that recommended in the first place. Learn to control and discpline.

Pressure and anxiety

This is not the first of its kind. We have been see this type of posts advising people on how to deal with gambling and gambling addiction. Te problem is that almost everyone ignores this advice and in some case even the advisers are also victims.

Talking about having a budget, it is easy for someone who has a steady source of income. How about a petty gambler who has no source of income, can he budget?

2.Take breaks:This is a very important point..gambling can be very addicting especially when we start excepting a lot from it

Moderation is important at every point in time, knowing when you have exceeded your limits is important. Self appraisal Should not be over emphasized by anyone. Whether your are in a winning streak or losing streak you need to take break at some critical points and examine your success on the long run and also your mental wellness.

You do not make any sense here, for you to have a written budget or the one you have a rough calculation in your heart, budget is budget. The main thing is that you do not do anything out of budget when it comes to gambling and you should make sure that you have a good plan and discipline along with that budget. That is after which you have had a good gambling style. The latter is important for you not to be emotional to the extent that you will abandon the budget entirely.

Also, whether or not you worked for your cash or you are gifted, a reasonable gambler does not use them differently. And if you think a free gift has to be wasted since you didn't work for it, then you might want to think twice, otherwise you will be acting unwise.

What I know that is the main thing about responsible gambling is doing what you said you would do, irrespective of how you feel. Gamble within time frame and leave when the time reaches, gamble on certain days, gamble with budgeted or spare cash. There are also hidden behaviors that are not exhibited that is also a part of responsible gambling as well.

I agree with you here, gambling has to be responsible, and responsible gambling is such that is void of irresponsibility whatsoever. This is the situation where the gambler has plans and a budget and sticks with them, and the plans and budgets are such that will not mix with the good behavioural pattern of the gambler, which includes their lifestyle and responsible living.

Really that impossible for someone not to be able to know on what they are doing eh? We do know that there are people who would really be that mindful about their actions
and there are ones who cant or simply ignore about the risks and just continue on what they are doing. Its not bad to gamble as long you do know your limits and this is something that people should be sticking
so that they wont really be ending up on getting wrecked with gambling. It is really that usually people do really ends up on a disaster on the time that they will really be that not minding about those probable things that will happen or simply even if they are aware they do still choose for them to proceed on just because they are really that aiming for making money.

If you wont really be that making yourself that responsible then you would really be ended up on sleeping on the streets or simply you wont really be that making yourself that
having that being wrecked because of gambling.

This is what I also believe and trust that Gamblers must know how to manage discipline and knows how to understand stopping while in gambling because if you have none of those then you will never be a gambler or winner at all , stop gambling while you can or else learn how to control yourself, this is the sole reason why there are so much losing happening in gambling world , and also the reason why most of people is not taking money outside the casino because of so much expectation.

and another thing is that pausing sometimes , this is also a big steps for not losing continuously .

[letteredhub]

Here are two things to take note of before gambling
1.have a budget:it's very crucial to set a budget, decide how much money you are comfortable spending on gambling

I guess you mean have a healthy bankroll and sticking to it, without a bankroll a gambler will experience a lot of mismanagement of his money gambling without a limit, this act of stupidity has cost many gamblers to squander their salaries in a day just on gambling alone as the didn't know when to stop based on their lack of budgeting/bankroll.

Always stake what you can afford to lose. Have a limit and stick to it, doing it this way wouldn't put you under
Pressure and anxiety
2.Take breaks:This is a very important point..gambling can be very addicting especially when we start excepting a lot from it

Take regular breaks especially when your losses are more than your wins.give yourself time to recover cause it's all about maintaining a healthy balance...I hope this helps someone out there

I learnt about this from a gambler I use to have random interaction with sometimes when I visit my regular on land sports betting shop in town, for some period it came to my mind I haven't seen him at the bet shop for the few times I had visited then one faithful day I met him on the road while I was heading out, asked him why I haven't seen him for a long time now at our usual gambling spot, he told me he was just taking a break due to how he had had many losses in the past weeks and not to get emotional about it he goes for a short break which had always help him cool off and probably change his fate when he will later resume.
Taking a break be it long or short break's can be a therapy to help prevent addiction and much losses, it doesn't mean we're cowards it only means we know what we are doing and that we're still in control of our gambling life.

It's true what you say, because nowadays many people gamble with the wrong assumptions and that causes them to experience big financial losses, many young people are now gambling online with their treatment of online gambling being done irresponsibly gambling excessively.  also have excessive hopes which makes them gamble excessively I think this needs to be addressed those who gamble irresponsibly are certainly the ones who lose but there are times when other people also lose because of people who gamble irresponsibly. irresponsible because gambling done irresponsibly means they don't know the limits to stop they gamble but don't think about the risks and finances they have so that when they run out of money they can take out a loan to carry out their gambling activities again, but what's wrong is sometimes they borrow the money forcefully or harshly of course this is detrimental to the person involved. big problem and detrimental to other people who don't know about  it I think they must be aware of the impact of gambling which can make them change their attitudes and behavior where they will become more stubborn  easily emotional and tend not to want to give in.

It's rare to find people who gamble responsibly, in fact, as you said, it's almost impossible to find, it seems like a rare species haha . people who gamble responsibly they will not gamble excessively because they know gambling is a means of entertainment, not a means of earning money, but many misinterpret gambling to be the main source of income in their lives, many of them believe that gambling can make them rich quickly, now the logic is this, let alone to be rich, just to win it seems to be difficult let alone to become rich, I think their minds must be addressed so that they do not misinterpret gambling, They can spend a lot of money on gambling but they can't stop themselves from gambling, even though from the amount of money they have lost due to gambling, I think they can start a small business, also with those who are careless or reckless about their gambling games, those who have lost but they still insist on continuing to gamble with the presumption of recovering the losses they have received, it is very unfortunate, they have been trapped in the wrong cycle. They should feel the harmful effects of gambling itself.

These are basics and regardless how much ever you educate there are people who will still be making same mistakes and the reason being the urge to become millionaire overnight and greed is the reason why people just bet consecutively and that too they go all in at every single time instead of planning it, I would relate this to margin trading where people make the same mistake every single time. Gambling can ruin your life and push you to greater debt if not done properly or if done without control.

[Pakwallet]

Thank you for sharing these valuable tips on gambling responsibly. I completely agree with your points:

[I_Anime]

Op the tips are nice though, but those tips doesn't guarantee that you can become a successful gambler. Ones a gambler get addicted to gambling those tips won't mean any thing to them all they want is to make alot of profit to cover their previous losses with such drive those tips won't be followed. Because you can't use such tips against luck, gambling just luck but is always advisable to risk what you can afford to lose. Not something that will end up putting a gambler in debt.
