Is it ethical to break your gambling rules

[teamsherry]

If your asking such question to find a little justification for your action then I think nobody here can actually tell you when your going to far or not, I don't know how flexible you are on your rules and I can't tell your reasons for beaking the rules, but I know that if you hadn't come off with some winning this week then you would have stopped on the first week, maybe you felt that luck was on your side, so you dicided to continue playing despite the fact that you had a set rule.

I've also at many times broken my gambling rules out of joy of winning and didn't know when I over did it for a longer period of time, I enjoy going for the 5 odds and I stake high , and some weeks I do win a lot and I would end up staking even more. That might be the reason you went two weeks. But I can't be a judge if you over gambled or not

[Dewi Aries]

So this led me to ask the general public if I am gambling too much, although this excess didn't affect my finances in any way since I still managed to come out with little winning at the end of the day and at some level, my losses are still below 30 percent of my set out money.

Let me remind you about the purpose of gambling where we all have one goal and that is to win. And we can do anything for this victory. Every day there is no basis for what rules I follow or not if I don't win there. But of course it is better to follow the rules Because we know that gambling with rules reduces the chances of becoming addicted. And considering this aspect I can say that there is no problem in breaking the rules temporarily if it is profitable. Moreover rules is not main motive of gambling. Basically rules are to gamble responsibly.

Yes I understand that and I think we can't hide this from the public eye that all gamblers have the goal of getting a win in gambling, but the difference is that there are some people who are too pushy to get or chase the win and there are also some people who are not too excessive in terms of forcing the win to come, meaning that there are some people who overdo it who end up with addiction while on the other hand some other people remain on a less dangerous approach and they just wait for the win to come by itself with on the other hand prioritizing and focusing on risk management.

Breaking the rules once in a while may not be a big deal as long as you make it clear to yourself that you don't want to get addicted to the same infraction again, because it is possible to do it again and it is even possible that you will get so used to breaking the rules that you have made or the rules that are suggested as a whole. However, applying caution and vigilance is something that should always be applied and owned by all gamblers, because this is what will continue to keep you from some bad possibilities.

first of all, I want to ask you, what was your initial goal in making rules for yourself?
If indeed you made these rules to prevent yourself from all the bad effects of gambling, why did you break these rules, whereas the rules you have set should also have a strong commitment to remain obedient to your own rules even if you do not experience major losses or you can even still win, but believe me, if gambling is used excessively without limits, you will experience early signs of addiction that you are not aware of.
you will definitely say that you are fine, yes of course you are fine because you have not experienced any major losses and on the one hand you will not know the first signs of addiction yourself but other people can judge whether you are experiencing the first signs of addiction and all that can be judged by you breaking your own boundaries.

the characteristics of a gambling addict are usually accompanied by initial signs of continuing to gamble and a high curiosity that wants to continue gambling even though you are lucky to get a winning streak, but this is a temptation that can make you very bad in the long run.
I say this because I have had a bad past so from now on I suggest you obey the rules you have previously made rather than continuing to break these rules but in the end you will experience a worse addiction.

Only you can answer that. That's personal. How can we even know if you're gambling too much if on the other hand, only you know your financial situation? We can't give you an accurate response just by telling us your habit since there might be part of the story that wasn't mentioned.

Besides, ethical or not to break your gambling rules, that's not the point here but rather your actions instead. Regardless if you follow your own gambling rules or not, come to think if everything is still all right. If you know to yourself that nothing unusual is happening at your actions despite continuous gambling, then you are good to continue.

If you are handling the game like this, what you are doing is not bad, on the contrary it is good, although a 30% loss is too much, because when we play in a casino it must be done for much less, and this is something we must know clearly, these are games of chance, casinos will always have gnanaics and we must be 100% Encouraged to spend a lot of money, in an acceptable percentage to carry the game period should be below 10%, this would be considered a feat, In fact, I believe that no one can do it, but I am demanding this from myself because the fact that I have done trading has taught me very good lessons about financial Statements, and that is something that we need to apply to improve our economic situation. We cannot afford to do things just for the sake of doing them, we must be very emphatic about it, we cannot allow things to get out of control and we lose more.

What you say is absolutely right, we cannot avoid that things can be done well or badly, all you have to do is continue as you are going if you think it is going well, but otherwise if you see that things are not working out for you. If you want you can do a little, improve with our strategies, read more about the games and how you can make your game more efficient, this is something that very few do. However, these types of things can happen for the better when we learn to see and manage our money, which we are allowing ourselves to lose, we can never play more than normal, because it is a fact that things must happen that way.

What we can think of some things to do is that we cannot break any type of rules, if we break our own rules, then we are wrong, we cannot do something like that because things must happen differently, break the rules In a game it is neither good nor ethical, it is better to always do things well so that things go well for us.

It doesn't matter if you realize that you have broken your own gambling rules, unless you don't realize it, it might affect your finances, even if you say that it doesn't affect your finances, it means you are enjoying your game, so it doesn't matter as long as you are in control. Being aware that you have been gambling for a long time is not a problem in my opinion, sometimes people are often like that so it won't look like a big mistake that you have to regret.

But I worry that we may break the rules that we have made because we are aware of them. I mean it's certainly good if we realize our mistakes. But repeating the same mistakes on purpose is another thing. This means that you do not respect the rules that you have made yourself. If you continue to make habits like that then why are the rules made? So I don't mind if you broke your rules this time and you've admitted it. But it would be better if you try to make rules that are flexible and not that strict. I see you can't stand gambling for that long.

The dilemma here is that later on, he may continue this practice and before he knows it, he's already too deep in his situation. So while you are still aware of your your actions, better go back to your personal rules. It is your choice so it doesn't matter if it is ethical or not. At the end of the day, it is your money at stake, so the responsibility is all yours.

Do remember about New Year's resolution, I can compare this with that. Because for sure, most are breaking their own resolution because they can't commit with it. So just like in gambling, better make your own rules that you think is sustainable for one. That you believe you can have commitment for long-term. Otherwise, breaking it again and again will really happen.

Re: Is it ethical to break your gambling rules

depends on the situation, condition and how effective your rules have become so far... You made the rules to guide you; it becomes your discipline depending on how it works for you.

That being said, this week I noticed that I have continued in the same trend despite that I have a personal gambling rule, not to gamble for two weeks consecutively,  but unknowingly for me I am already in the third week without adhering to my own rule.

I can't just say anything about this cus you've not specified if you've been having any wins ever since you started breaking out, but if you created some rules and cannot keep to it, what's really the essence?

I do agree on this one on which it would be better that you should be cutting it off while you are still aware of your actions. Never ever tolerate out such thing because once you do have that kind of behavior on trying out to tolerate out such condition then you would really be having those thoughts that you would really be needing up to continue on what you are doing since you are really just that fine. Dont tend to be like that because once you do have that kind of tolerating such action then setting out rules would really be pointless and useless. This is why it would really be that best that you should really be cutting it out while its still early. You would be finding out that you are making the right decision on the time that you are really that sticking with your own rules.

If  you do have that kind of feeling that its not ethical on breaking your own rules, then you could always opt in to go back into track and avoid out on violating those things in your next actions.
You are the ones ones who would be having needing that kind of control and not other people. It is really just that there are ones who doesnt really care on continuing breaking up those
rules as long they could be able to make themselves that able to enjoy then that would reallybe that enough.

[Furious 7]

IMO in this situation it depends on the ability of your financial strength in the end.
Indeed, indirectly violating the rules that we have made ourselves is not very good because if something like this is allowed it will invite you to a new situation where you will continue to violate again and again and habits like this actually interfere with the initial rules which have been set before and by breaking the rules that have been made before you will also indirectly increase your expenses in gambling.

Even though it will not be a problem for your finances in the near future, it may pave the way for you to do more things that require you to spend more continuously.
If you don't have a problem with it and can still handle your needs and financial management well, maybe it won't be a problem, but if this actually affects your finances then I don't think it's worth continuing.

We keep rules that guides us and make our existence in the space longer, I know how difficult it will be if we don't milked the gambling system, rather we grow to he fonder and afraid of huge losses. The possibilities of winning grows higher but that doesn't mean we're not eligible to sits in possession of huge profits. We're gamblers and you're supposed to know what it means to break gambling rules in the system. It automatically sends a direct to everyone around us, thereby we should be very careful inother not to end up been criticized.

[Mia Chloe]

For me the answer is a big NO!!. The first step to becoming a responsible gambler is being able to properly arrange your priorities plus your ability to maintain a proper discipline in your gambling activities like how much time you spend gambling and how often and how much you stake. Some persons will argue that it is ok to sometimes overlook the personal rules we set but for some people they will definitely end up overlooking it over and over again till the rules become useless.
Still there should be a definite threshold to Every of our gambling habits and practices to help us fight addiction and other unhealthy gambling practices.

[Jaycoinz]

My recent experience from gambling, prompted me to ask this question,  and just as the title stated clearly,  you can easily deduce what I am trying to ask in this thread


My experience
In the last two weeks, I have been on a steady roll in gambling and most of the stakes I placed are mostly in sports bets, dice, and spin, all these games are luck-based games unless for football that requires a little bit of analysis.


That being said, this week I noticed that I have continued in the same trend despite that I have a personal gambling rule, not to gamble for two weeks consecutively,  but unknowingly for me I am already in the third week without adhering to my own rule.


So this led me to ask the general public if I am gambling too much, although this excess didn't affect my finances in any way since I still managed to come out with little winning at the end of the day and at some level, my losses are still below 30 percent of my set out money.

Sometimes it happens and thats why we need to focus with our gambling habits something this also happens to me but mine is when am busy winning in a particular session that am gambling, I tend to go higher and even forget that I have set a particular boundary that am not supposed to breach and this happens because am of the wins that I get or experience during those period.

[Marvelman]

Ethical? Well, a few harmless infractions here and there might not seem like a huge deal if you're coming out ahead.  But ethical behavior matters, rules or no rules. 

Sure some limits can be flexible, especially when all you're after is a good time.  But it's wise to pause and reflect now and then. At the end of the day, you've got to be able to look at yourself in the mirror.  Only you can decide what sits right on your conscience.

It's great that you are aware of your gambling habits and have set out some personal rules for yourself. However, it sounds like you may be starting to stray from those rules by not taking breaks as you planned.
It might be a good idea to reassess your gambling habits and see if you need to take a breack for a while. Maybe take a break for a period of time to evaluate again your gambling habits will be the greatest idea tough. I can imagine every gambler having the ability to do this. I'm sure this will have a general impact on the entire gambling industry.

Nver forget that it's always best to gamble responsibly and within your means.

[iBaba]

The dilemma here is that later on, you may continue this practice and before he knows it, he's already too deep in his situation. So while you are still aware of your your actions, better go back to your personal rules. It is your choice so it doesn't matter if it is ethical or not. At the end of the day, it is your money at stake, so the responsibility is all yours.

You've provided excellent insight as a senior colleague. When it comes to gambling, there aren't any standard rules to follow. What matters most is finding an approach that aligns with your preferences and sticking to it, even if it means not changing course unless it leads to better outcomes. The primary goal of gambling is usually to turn a profit, whether you're in it for financial gain or entertainment. Even if it's for fun, it's still preferable to come out ahead rather than lose. So, whatever strategy you adopt, it's essential to remain committed and continually refine it to strengthen your position within the gambling community.

While I don't personally gamble much, I understand the value of consistency in any approach of life. Since there isn't a fixed roadmap in the gambling world, it allows for flexibility and the opportunity to establish your own rules, especially if they're effective for you or align with your beliefs. It's crucial to stand by what works for you.

If you aren't careful you can easily go against your set down rule in gambling especially when you are winning. And if one continues, at a point you will start losing. The winning is just to lure you into the system.

[topbitcoin]

Yes, it's unethical, you're breaking the rules you made yourself. Apart from being unethical, this also shows that you are unable to respect decisions regarding a rule, and also shows that you have no commitment to yourself. And this also shows that you are one step closer to gambling addiction. and if this continues, and even worse, you eliminate these rules, then you will be closer to gambling addiction.

So before you fall deeper, it would be better if you return to the rules you have created. And remember to always comply with these rules and the various commitments you have made, because with consistency in acting in accordance with what you say, this will give the impression that you are indeed a responsible gambler, who is able to control gambling well.

And you also have to remember that gambling is full of risks and other negative impacts, which can lead to losses and can affect the balance of your life. but all of this comes back to us in responding and also doing it. And when you are able to limit this activity, the losses you experience will be minimized and your life balance will be maintained.

Looking yourself in the mirror, what reflection do you see, a man or a tough addicted gambler? Just a simple question that deserves an honest answer. Not minding anyone but only looking after yourself, does all these criteria really matter? Gambling is important and have tasted the substantial amounts of profits generated at my end. It's easy to implement rules in gambling and its also very simple to break them. Principles that took almost an hour or days to implement can easily broken within a blink of an eye or even minutes. Gamblers encounter new phases in gambling steadily, it's never inclusive to start ruining our chances but keeping all hope alive is the major spot to target in the system.

[retreat]

I mean, is it ethical when you break a rule? ask yourself that, because other people's perceptions may be different about this. Maybe you have a reason why you break the rules that you have set, maybe because you feel that your game is good enough that you feel that it is okay to break these rules. However, I personally feel that the more often you break the rules that you make yourself, the greater your chances of becoming an irresponsible gambler.

-snip-

I think we all know about how bad gambling  can be if it is done in a way that is not recommended and it is definitely unethical to break the rules that you have already broken. As you said, everyone has their own perception and also everyone has their own limits, and that means that if you have your own rules, then that's the best for you because I'm sure that you make the rules according to your own abilities, especially in terms of balancing with your financial strength. So basically I hope that they can go back to the rules that they have made because that's what's best for them.

We make rules from the start because we know that there is something we need to avoid so that gambling becomes more focused and will not disrupt our finances. However, when we violate the rules that we have previously made, of course there will be consequences for our actions, sooner or later we will definitely feel the impact of the violation. Indeed, these regulations are not binding and explicit, but rules are still rules, even if they are quite trivial, not submitting to these rules is an action that is not justified.

[traderethereum]

They wouldn't really be caring up if they have break something that they had set earlier on which been said that people would really be continuing on the things on what pleases them. Just like on mentioned above that as long you are really that doing fine and having not breaking your own wallet or bank then you are still that responsible but dont wait up for the time that you would really be already making yourself having that
kind of financial problem just because you are really that doing careless decisions just because you do believe that you are still that doing fine or well with your gambling activity.
Ethical or not, then you are the ones who would really be having those thoughts in the end. Its your money then its your choice to make on whatever the actions that you are taking.

Yes, that's true and they just think that breaking something is normal and doesn't need to be made a big deal. They don't realize that it is the beginning of future problems because by breaking it, they will think they want to break it again at another time.
If they break it more and more often, it will become a habit and no one can stop it except ourselves. Breaking your own rules or not is up to each gambler.
If they still care about themselves and their money, they will try their best to violate it. They will only use gambling as a place to gamble and will not overdo it in gambling.
