Responsible Gambling Practices Most People Ignore and Sleep on

[passwordnow]

The majority goes with the financial management as a factor being neglected on. And that's because a lot of us think that gambling is an investment and treats it like that without having the understanding that it is an all in taking risk and you have no idea what comes next after the bet you've casted. At the same time, it makes someone make terrible decisions in handling their finances like the approach of how to save and invest properly.

Those important things are also being neglected on and that's why the image of gambling has been destroyed long time ago because of those gamblers that can't control themselves. Becoming addicted to gambling and doing wrong decisions like asking for loans just to gamble, selling their stuff to gamble, becoming irresponsible with their families just for the sake of gambling. Heard of those stories, right? And that's why it's like connecting the dots and creating a domino impact for most of the gamblers that are neglecting these factors.

I always follow my limits and that saves me from losing too much and of course winning too much too lol.

Although if a huge hit, i stopped and will be back later or tomorrow. Because too much will bee too much, unexpected huge win is good but i stopped after i get it. I always gambling in moderation, loss-chasing is worst and could end up getting a huge loss.

Since time immemorial, gambling has a negative connotation which is mainly due to the widespread news of repercussions experience of those who abused it. Everything that is too much is harmful after all.

Yes, the widespread of the negative experience of gambling makes some people, ethnic, countries, and religions tag gambling as something harmful to their society while the real result is caused by the gambler's immaturity habit of gambling.
All the factors you listed are good practices to escape gambling addiction or gambling more than we can avoid losing but if a gambler is not mature enough and very conscious to accept or operate with the practice he/she will still be an addict.

Will be always dependent with the gambler as an individual. Will it be right to generalize? There's a high tendency that gamblers are confused of responsible practices and its actualization. As other have mentioned, no gambler is not aware of how dangerous it is to gamble and bet. We're just too hooked that we become unaware of what is actually happening. Domino effect that you will be driven and continue betting until you don't have nothing left with you. Process of addiction I guess but not conclusive to all of the gamblers. It is also applicable to anything that consumes your time that you are too happy doing it. At such state, we disregard ideologies of how things should done.

You have already pointed out the reason why I generalized the statement I made that every gambler understands how dangerous gambling could be despite that they never stick to the solution that would prevent them from the danger involved.
Nevertheless, people can be addicted to anything not only gambling as you said but most people never focus on that area and this is why I never like how gambling-addicted people only talk about the negative effects of gambling.

Gambling in itself has nothing to do with greed but it is difficult for most gambler to control their greed during gambling and this has led so many gamblers into financial instability. Most gamblers are concerned about chasing loss and then lose control. It is important to set guidelines as this will help to keep greed at bay.

Gambling is a continuous process and having setbacks is inevitable. However, what matters is to learn from them and continue working towards controlling greed and promoting responsible gambling.

The greedy was the important one in the gambling site,because many people had loss their money and their full savings because of the greedy.The gamblers should take a pause in the game after the big winning in the gambling site.Because this was common one in the casino game,many people loss their funds which they had earned from the game to loss because of the more greedy to win the big money in the single game.This was the blunder use to do by many of the gamblers at their initial stage.Even some times the experienced gamblers will do the blunder after the huge experience because of the greedy to raise huge money in the single game.For the big money it take time we need to wait for the opportunity.

Because after all that is the more recommended approach in gambling whose purpose as you said is to minimize all bad possibilities, on the other hand I am sure that all gamblers want to get a big win but this requires them to put a very large amount of money, It is very difficult for those of us who always maintain involvement in gambling to be able to get such big wins because the amount of budget we have is not too large and indeed only with this approach can we stay safe and avoid the possibility of greater harm, and the other reason is because there is no certainty that can guarantee us to get the big win, so the best option is obviously we can only approach it with full restrictions because then we will avoid the possibility of greater harm.

Basically we can put hope in victory but what is not recommended is "forcing" something that always runs randomly and does not have any certainty and this is why in gambling you are not advised to overdo it because the risk is too great especially if you play on the type of bet that is pure luck. On the other hand, if you finally manage to get that big win someday I hope you will stick to your plan by preferring to cash out or quit rather than applying greed because usually in situations like this a gambler will be tested between they must choose to prevent or be greedy for the sake of something bigger that they think can be realized.

I believe self-exclusion can barely help someone with their addiction unless they do it on every single platform available online because if a gambling addict uses the self-exclusion option in one platform, they can still access another platform and start gambling there because the urge to gamble for addicted gamblers is pretty strong and a self-exclusion in one platform cannot stop them from gambling.

The points you've mentioned are good, and they need to be followed by gamblers when they start gambling and not when they have already become addicted to it which is the biggest mistake people make, they don't follow these practices at the beginning and then they start looking for ways to control their emotions and urges when they become addicted.

Responsible gambling practices start from within and can be established with the help of other people too. One must be mindful of everything that he wants to do in order to gain a good experience in gambling. Let's be reminded that there is a good approach and balance in doing things that we want without compromising the future.

Everyone starts as a newbie in gambling.

Later or sooner, these newbies will soon realize the importance of being a responsible gambler.

But how can they realize it? Along the way, they will experience win-loss scenarios. When they win big, they will be carried away and will think gambling is too easy to be a profitable thing. They didn't realize that their winnings are now slowly depleting and they will regret what they did. That experience will be one of the keys to becoming a responsible gambler. Sometimes it needs several same experience like that before the realization comes.

that is very true, because if he still can access other gambling sites, then, his self-exclusion to one site is just futile and doesn't make sense. the real change should come from the gambler himself and should have sheer will and determination to alter his lifestyle. this is for the betterment of himself and not anyone else.

but before someone becomes an addict, should already have some self-assessment before you put yourself into the brink of no return.
-  have a regular check-and-balance of your lifestyle
-  at least monitor your finances and see where the bulk of your funds go to, if it is in gambling, time to re-think your life's choices
-  do you have some family relationship problems owed to gambling? maybe time to ask yourself, the why?
-  are you putting yourself and your immediate family to danger because of your gambling debts?

I prefer the word forgot to ignore, gamblers will listen and read the best advice on how to become a responsible gambler, but everything they learned about being a responsible gambler goes out the window when they are playing they just forget everything because they are so concentrated on playing and winning, like bankroll management and playing that they can afford to lose, its basic but when you asked them after they lose their bankroll, they will just say that they forgot all of this.

Experience is the best teacher in gambling, many times when the gambler says that he should have done this to avoid losing that's the time that he understands and gets that advice into his head and implements it, but until he is not in a dire situation where the advice he once read and hears is needed he'll just say he forgot it.

You understand how to minimize the chance for losses huge. You also have good self-control. That's the reason why you can stick with your limits. But it is not the reason you often win in gambling. If you win the gambling games, that means you have good luck in gambling. Or you have great skills on certain gambling games.

Although if a huge hit, i stopped and will be back later or tomorrow. Because too much will bee too much, unexpected huge win is good but i stopped after i get it. I always gambling in moderation, loss-chasing is worst and could end up getting a huge loss.

This is something that not every one can do it. Average people will add more their money for gambling when they win a jackpot or big prizes. They think it is a chance to get bigger prizes because they are in a lucky day. Sadly, it is just a lucky winning that happen very rarely. When we try to gamble more and more, finally we lose all the prizes that we won. I hope average gamblers will follow your way, so they can enjoy their winning although they may lose tomorrow.

The gamblers who want to play the gambling with their experience or knowledge should take responsibility.Because the money was not come easier to the gamblers.When the money not come easier we should not just like that.So the gamblers who uses the money in gambling site must be the free money.The free money in the gambling site was mostly followed by the gamblers because the loss will not affect him at any point.Balanced money in the gambling site was most important one of the gamblers.Because many people loss the money and disappear in the real life.So better game was free money game in the gambling site.

Make yourself that responsible then you wont really be having any problems.

It is clear that setting boundaries is top priority that must be maintained and by setting boundaries it can also have very significant positive impact in the long term, anyone who has set boundaries can more easily control themselves.
We all know that self-control will influence gambling addiction and also maintain financial stability, so every gambler must be able to set these limits.

Setting boundaries will also be related to sense of responsibility because in context like this those who have set boundaries will have the responsibility to ensure that they do not make mistakes by exceeding what has been set.
Some people say this is difficult, but it actually quite easy if you intend it from the start and actually start implementing it.

Unfortunately, there are still many gamblers who are careless and think that all this is quite trivial, but those who think like this will actually find it easier to become gamblers who often experience bad results.
And of course they can never be ready to accept it.

I put more emphasis on limiting myself to gambling and also to prevent large losses. We don't know how much money we would spend if there were no restrictions on gambling. That's what makes many gamblers lose a lot of money, but they don't stop gambling. Instead, they become even more eager to recover their losses.

Limiting gambling can give us a sense of responsibility so we don't gamble excessively. We can gamble comfortably and have no targets to chase because we will consider gambling as entertainment.

I also believe that setting proper boundaries is the most important practice we need to master. It's really easy to lose control and go overboard, spending more money than you were actually planning. Trying to recoup your losses is probably one of the worst decisions you can make during a gambling session. I agree with most points mentioned by the OP, except maybe the last one. Although I'm pretty sure that the majority of people on this forum at least have the best intentions, it's an extremely delicate matter that should be discussed with a professional, a designated gambling support group, or someone close to you.

This is a nice piece of article but to be sincere how many core gamblers will take their time to read through and most of all how many will actually use it as a guide during gambling activities. The biggest issue with gambling people face is because of the way they view it. A lot of gamblers see gambling as an avenue to make more money, some see it as a job (especially the addicts)while some others see it as a normal fun and game act which is actually the best view approach.
Every piece of information in that article all goes down to " reason " which in turn is accompanied by discipline. When a person takes gambling as just a fun game, they will definitely have boundaries and limits to things they can do when they gamble.

Responsible gambling practices start from within and can be established with the help of other people too. One must be mindful of everything that he wants to do in order to gain a good experience in gambling. Let's be reminded that there is a good approach and balance in doing things that we want without compromising the future.

I think one of the reason why people don't practice responsible gamble is because they are fast to gamble,  some people don't even reason or think how they will go about gambling . People are so fast to make money from gamble without trying to know the rules to follow as a gambler. Why  people are so affected in playing gamble is because they lack knowledge on how to go about gambling which they put all their focus and interest is to make money.

Understanding the practice of gambling is very important,  it helps in playing gambling responsibly which will help to reduce loses in gambling and prevent people of becoming addicted to gambling.

[blckhawk]

I wouldn't say that it's a slept on but more like it's just difficult to follow since they're all an obvious thing that you should do when you're gambling, you manage your bankroll properly and that you have a set limit for your habit, that's an obvious must do for gambling so I'd say that the practice that's most slept on is probably discipline, you know the most basic because most people don't have that even as an adult, they easily give in to emotion and although it's obvious that you do need to have this but some people didn't grow up with this and wasn't even instilled to them so I do believe this is a slept on practice the most because with discipline, you'll probably be able to do all of that without a problem.

Gambling results or outcomes do come in quick or instant manner on which it would really be just that normal that on the time that you would really be having those experiences then you would really be just having those late realizations that you have already lost up that much and this is something where disaster do really starts on happening on which you are really that making yourself that too numb
not to know on whats happening in you specially on spending money. You would really be only having those kind of realizations when its too late and not before or earlier and this is always been the case for most people on which they had missed out actually on doing the right things or decisions on which they must have that done it well earlier.

When someone wants to gamble, he must have self-control and discipline, and there are still other things he must learn to use gambling well. This must be practiced continuously so that he does not lose control of himself when gambling so that he will not have difficulty controlling his emotions, which may change along with the results he gets from gambling. When it comes to training, only a few people are willing to train in the skills of self-control and discipline, while others will lose the enthusiasm to want to train them because it is difficult to train. But with a strong will to be able to take care of himself while gambling, someone can do it until finally he can have good self-control and can also use gambling well.
