Responsible Gambling Practices Most People Ignore and Sleep on

[danherbias07]

I think financial management has always been the crucial part.
This is where greed and chasing losses come into play. Without financial management or a planned amount to spend, we are not disciplined enough to say it's enough if we lose that amount or a planned winning amount to say enough if we hit that certain number.
Gambling addiction won't happen if we stick with our own rules of the planned amount on both ends.
An example would be losing $10 as a planned amount, we stop, we wait for the next payroll and that's when we could play again. I do that. I don't like spending a lot on gambling because it's just part of my entertainment. Just like now, I lost 70 percent of my planned amount to gamble and I left the remaining 30 percent because I am playing sports too and the game will be later.
I said to myself that I should stop playing casino games or else I wouldn't have enough money to bet on the sports that I prefer later. It's all mental. If we cannot tell ourselves that it's over then we won't stop chasing those losses that many times we cannot even get back whatever strategy we do.
This is why I love sports gambling more than casino games, there, I could win something although the multiplier is low. But the chances of winning is higher than playing against the house.

If I wish these things can work out to the real gamblers but it wouldn't work out at all. And this is not the first time such threads have been created for us to discuss. And such guidelines are not working bfor the real gamblers as others said in some time past. All those steps you mentioned are good to practice, mostly the number 4 and 5. But the addicted gamblers will not follow any of these things and I believe they are purely meant for the addicted gamblers to avoid huge lose.

Addicted gamblers only need counseling and not telling them to follow steps reduce their gambling career. And why I said gambling career because they have taken gambling has their career in life.

1. Setting Limitations
3. Financial Management

I am good with these two right here. These are for me what makes gamblers became broke in the long run if not taken into account. Discipline should begin on these two aspects for us to be a responsible gambler.

I would say that these 2 things would really be the most crucial thing that you should really be minding on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling.
If you are someone who do have that kind of self control and limitation at the same time that you are really that good when it comes to financial management then its unlikely that you would really be messing up yourself with gambling since you could really be able to have that kind of control which usually people do fail up on this one. This is why tons of people who do mess up their
lives because of too much losses on gambling because they have lost that control.

Once you do step your foot into gambling field then you should really be wary on the things that could really happen. If you do ignore those things then most likely
you would really be ending up on messing yourself into this field on which you should really be that careful on not to try on engaging too much
because excess things would never be that good.

I agree that setting limitations and financial management are very important in gambling but then you cannot differentiate them since setting limit is part of financial management. In my understanding, financial management strategy is essential when gambling and one of the aspects of it is setting limitation which is deciding on how much to bet and sticking to it. This limit must depend on the income of the gambler. No one can decide that for the gambler. This is so because what might be a limit for gambler A might be a death call for gambler B. Know your income and set a limit based on your income. This is what accounts for financial management.

Financial management will also make a gambler gamble with the amount he is prepared to lose. Also, financial management will help a gambler understand priority. That is, know when you have another plan and then reduce the money you use for gambling to enable you to save up for the plan. For instance, if you want to buy a car and that will require setting money aside for a few months, you can reduce the amount you use for gambling because you can rely on your savings and cannot rely on gambling. I can conclude that the bedrock for responsible gambling is a good financial management strategy.

[Volimack]

Responsible gambling is common among many people but some people accept it and gamble when they are addicted to gambling and these rules do not work for them. Most gamblers go beyond their limits and once they fall into addiction it is difficult to bring them back. They don't want to understand the good things I think they need to be told about the bad aspects in a group. The understanding of the team members often comes in handy.

[Doan9269]

I like the aspect that you have talked about gambling limitations and financial managements, these are some of the strong aspects that so many gamblers battles with while gambling because they can't do without haven gone through them, financial management is a serious challenge to some, because they don't know the limit to what extent they are willing to make profits, gamble less and take a break as well as having an effective gambling management practices.

financial management is indeed the vital part in this game. as a gambler, we all know that being in front of your games would entail a discipline from yourself. because it is too easy to follow your desires especially if you are on the losing side. definitely, most of us would want to recover those losses. but before we totally bust our bankroll, better assess your financial situation. are you gonna follow your desires? or pause your games and call it a day? and just come back when you feel you are ready again to sit down and waste more money? i say waste, because the reality is, the chance of losing in gambling is very high as compared to winning. so don't be a hypocrite to yourself. accept such reality. so you know how to handle your boundaries.

3. Financial Management

This would be  the most or something that would really be crucial if we do speak about dealing up with gambling on which we know that this is where people do usually mess up
on the time that you would really be lost off track when it comes to spending or simply with financial aspects on which you would really be that ending up on having that kind of
probability on messing up yourself entirely when it comes into your life. We do know that this isnt something that we could really be able to make out those kind of
adjustments accordingly on the time that we do gamble.

If you do find yourself that having not mindful about your actions then most likely you would really be ending up on having that kind of chance on messing
up your life entirely if you wont really be that careful.

Financial management comes along with self-discipline as the core.  Without self-discipline no matter how knowledgeable we are with financial management it will only end up in our head and not applying it to the game.  At the end of the day, it is how we apply our knowledge of financial management that will affect our gambling game, and how we control the urge to gamble more is most probably the most crucial.

So I believe that all these things listed by @OP will be useless unless the person has self-discipline.

[masulum]

any source of pleasure can make us dependent but some are definitely better than other, of course
one should always watch their actions and their thoughts and be alert all the time to not deviate too much from a moral and ethical way. 

that is important to keep in mind to live a good life

Yes, as long as gamblers still maintain their common sense, this shouldn't be a significant problem. But if it leads to criminal activity, or continues to try to continue gambling even though it has exceeded the limit, this could indicate that he has lost his moral and ethical way. They will become victims of gambling who may not be able to maintain their attitudes and ethics due to their emotional instability

[Blitzboy]

Limitations? Definitely gold. I've learnt (often the hard way) that sticking to a budget is about self-respect and future success.

Financial management is crucial, as is knowing the rules. Despite the thrill, the risks are huge. My motto is "Know your game like you know your best friend." Making informed decisions keeps gambling exciting without the fear of repercussions. Loans and credits are a treacherous slope I've watched too many go down.

I relate to the self-exclusion and gambling community assistance. I've relied on communities like this too often. Sharing a story or worry can bring so much support and help. Makes travel less lonely. Self-exclusion? I directed people that needed a hard halt here. Its a great control tool. Promote these practices - they're the lifelines that keep gambling exciting and safe. Loving and respecting the game is key.

Doesnt matter if its on the hard way but at least you had been able to make it out on which this is something that what matter the most. If you are someone whose really that kind of
control towards yourself on the time that you do play gambling then tendency or chances on getting addicted or simply wrecking up your life with gambling is less or not possible at all
since you do have that kind of self control on which this is something that you wont really be able to make yourself that put in great danger when it comes to gambling addiction.
If you are really just that responsible then you wont really be ending up on a disaster on what most people do really heading on on the time that they would really
be having that kind of engagement.

Gambling responsibly is the main key to preventing significant losses and other negative impacts, which can harm ourselves. And of course this is not an easy thing for us to do. because sometimes, even in the past, we have implemented limits on the gambling activities we carry out, including financial limits and playing time. However, in certain situations, we can lose control and ignore certain limits, so that we gamble more than the specified time and bet more than the previously set budget. So the gambling we do can influence and hinder other activities, and only cause financial losses. And if we often violate these limits, then this has the potential to lead to gambling addiction. This is a very dangerous situation and to minimize the negative impact of this behavior, we must continue to try to remain consistent with the boundaries that we have always set.

Common sense is not enough for a gambler to be responsible in gambling; there are many things a responsible gambler has, and one of the most important is their mind and will. Mind: If a gambler has a strong mind and follows his mind when making decisions, then he or she should know when to stop and what they are doing wrong. From there, they will stop if they see that they are addicted or that gambling is corrupting them. In short, a gambler with good thinking will be aware of what he is doing and can identify if it is wrong or not. A gambler's strong will can stop and limit itself from overgambling or overspending on gambling; in that way, no matter what influence or urge they feel, their will to limit themselves will be more dominant. So aside from what the OP stated, there are more important aspects to be considered for a gambler to be responsible.

[goinmerry]

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.

To better understand all those listed there, gamblers need to experience the worst situations first. From being always bankrupt, can't fight the temptation of doing gambling even currently on losing streak, always chasing losses non-stop and many more. Without these problems they will encounter in gambling, they won't know the true meaning of being a responsible gambler.

They won't understand things in gambling that easy if the road is always smooth until the worst come.

If the gambler able to survive that worst situation, chances to become a better and responsible gambler later on will surely happened.

[klidex]

The points you mentioned are indeed important things that gamblers must pay attention to so that they don't experience too many problems in their gambling because sometimes they just want to gamble to make a profit but ignore the important points that must be paid attention to. Someone who wants to enter the world of gambling must pay attention to the rules provided by the platform and never ignore them if you don't want to end up regretting ignoring the rules, and we also have to set boundaries and manage money well to avoid gambling addiction.

Talking about the Gambling Community as a Supporter for someone who feels they are losing self-control, there's no harm in asking for help from other people to be able to overcome your problems in gambling, you need other people wherever you are so never be embarrassed to ask someone for help regarding the gambling you have been doing for a long this time.

Gambling responsibly is not an easy thing to do for everyone who has made gambling a routine activity, even though they have set time limits and also limited the funds they will use for gambling, they will still be breaking these rules themselves, according to I would be better if we could reduce gambling activities rather than limiting funds for betting, because if we gamble too often it will be very difficult for us to be able to control ourselves in the games we play, of course this will be very detrimental to us.
To be able to gamble responsibly, of course we have to obey every rule we make if we don't want to suffer a lot of losses both behaviorally and financially.

[Silberman]

Gambling is a means of entertainment that can either bring you good fortune or dilemma. It can give you benefits or consequences depending on how you will use it. To some, it brings them satisfaction and relaxation by playing and betting. While to others, it serves as an income generator by engaging in different activities such as referral, campaigns, and sponsorship. 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.

Here are some key factors that I believe are often overlooked when someone plans to enter the gambling industry and even those existing players often neglect:

...

I am sure most gamblers have heard about all of those measures, it is just that when the emotions are high people often forget about those kind of things and simply follow their instinct, this is why you have people that after a bad session begin to wonder what could have gone wrong? As not even they know how it could have been possible for them to lose control over their emotions in such a way and lose so much money so quickly.

It was hard because we've been always influenced by our emotions and greed, it is a normal situation since we are a human being. But it is not the case why we should not be acting responsibly, at least we never do this always and forever. At least sometimes, we know our limitations, and at least sometimes, we can think when to stop. It is really difficult when already addicted that is why we don't let it happen instead, have a habit to start controlling ourselves as early as possible. It may not be working instantly, but at least we do something to avoid from falling into the worst scenario.

[Onyeeze]

That is a really good topic
One interesting thing to talk about too is that gambling shouldn’t probably be approached as a professional activity for most people, much better to see it like a way to have fun or a hobbie and spend only a small percentage of your money on it

It takes time, practice and a clear set of goals to avoid falling for some of the traps

From research you can not notice or find that gambling have a strategies that someone can be taken to be winning gambling,  I think its not acceptable or void to me base on what I have seen in gambling,  this gambling doesn't have a tool and when looking at it very well you can see that gambling is something have to deal with advantages and disadvantages,  and when you come to the advantages side of gambling it have no means to make the advantages to be occurring almost every time, and disadvantages parts of gambling is something that will continue to happen because in gambling you can not say you have study gambling almost every time so therefore gambling have stage by stage and this stage is being lucky and unlucky so this two things that's me not believe that their is strategies to follow in order to be wining gambling

[angrybirdy]

Addicted gamblers only need counseling and not telling them to follow steps reduce their gambling career. And why I said gambling career because they have taken gambling has their career in life.

You're right, this is also not applicable to people with severe gambling addiction, because it will be difficult for them to follow all the guides and tips, what will really help them is the guidance of medical professionals because they know better what to do or whether it is necessary to take medication to gradually reduce a person's gambling addiction.

So I believe that all these things listed by @OP will be useless unless the person has self-discipline.

I have tried to follow what you have said and it is really hard to convince yourself not to play more when you are losing. The same situation arises when I am winning, the difference is that I am using the winning money to continue my gambling. When you are losing you always feel that another bet and you will cover your losses. Another bet and it continues till you lose everything that you have as capital. The problem cannot be controlled if you are disciplined or not, it is the urge that takes over and makes you go on till you lose. The amount that I have lost is not that big and I can recover it, imagine when someone loses his entire salary or payment with this problem.
