A call to self-examining our gambling habit.

[carlfebz2]

I just want to add that if people want to make "self-examining" much easier, they should put reasonable rules in place when they are gambling, doing this would make it easier to find out if you are starting to have gambling problems, what I mean about it is if you keep breaking the rules you have put in place then it means that you are having trouble following it and you might be suffering from a gambling problem.

There is nothing like self examination when there is no rule that is put in place to check the activities of the gambler,  in this way while you keep check of your gambling,  you are at the same time following a new patten that will place you in a better position in your future gambling.

Those rules will help a gambler to have a lay down principle in form of a blue print to follow through with,  that is very important for every active gambler if you ever want to gamble safe.

Self awareness i should say on which this is something that would really be important into someones life specially on trying out to determine whether you are really that still doing good or not.
Not all people would really be having that kind of awareness about into their actions on which most of us would really be just making adjustments on the time that we are already on unfortunate or not nice condition on which it would really be that a normal human instinct if we do speak about something like this but actually we could really be able to avoid things if we are really just that sensible into it.
There are really just those people who are really that making tolerating into the gambling session or activity they do have despite of the financial effect that it do gives.

Regret is always at the end and this is something that  you should be stopping it from happening. No one would be planning to stop it out not until when disaster happens.

I don't agree with you. It is possible to examine yourself even without having an established gambling rule on the ground. When you are self-conscious you will know when there is a problem in your gambling and vice versa. Being self-conscious when gambling is a good way for a gambler to monitor and regulate his gambling behavior.
When a gambler is self-conscious, he can identify signs of problematic gambling behavior.

I think a gambler should pay attention to his thoughts and feelings while he is gambling. If a gambler notices that he is becoming anxious or upset, it is good he take a break from gambling and engage in a calming activity instead. This can prevent a gambler from making impulsive or irrational decisions.

But being honest on your own assessment is probably one of the hardest things to do for a human being, and there is clear evidence this is the case, when there is a survey so a person can self-evaluate their performance on school or on their job, more than 90% of them think of themselves as being way above the average performance of their peers, an impossibility of course, showing that people see themselves in a positive light, even when this is not justified, so it is preferable to have clear rules, that way it will be easy to evaluate if we are having some gambling issues or not.

It's always about self-awareness or maintaining a level of self-awareness and it's true that this is best, I often say and suggest this to others including some of my friends who also gamble and I always suggest that it is advice that should not be ignored to emphasize and maintain self-awareness when you are involved in gambling especially when you are running sessions, not least because this is a fairly effective way of preventing yourself from some unwanted possibilities.

On the other hand I understand that there are no rules set in gambling activities to check gambling activities, but it is actually very simple which as you said that the key is "awareness" or maintaining self-awareness because this will be very useful to identify some things that can trigger or plunge you into wrong gambling actions, the point is that awareness can be your savior in any case if you can be firm to continue to maintain it.

Self examination is very important. It has been easy to immerse yourself wit gambling without realizing when it becomes problematic or addictive. We should regularly ask ourselves, how much time and money did I spend? am I having negative consequences?, do I feel in control? with these questions you can gain a clearer understanding about your habits whether there are red flags or warning signs of addiction. It's important to have self awareness to ensure that gambling remains as a form of entertainment rather than source of harm.

That's nice if everyone could do that.
We tend to get attached to gambling for different reasons. One is when we are winning, right next to it is the urge to win more so we continue on playing. The other is when we are chasing our losses which means we also have to stay because we are trying to get our revenge and win back whatever amount that was taken from us and maybe more.
It's a never-ending cycle actually and it's up to us when we want to stop. Some will not even try. I guess the other question that we should ask ourselves is: When was the last time we made a withdrawal and enjoyed that money? We keep on gambling but there are times we have not even taken a break because of the urge that was said above. For me, it's win, withdraw, and enjoy. The only problem is, it is getting harder to win as you keep on playing. Just one good break and I will not think twice to take it our and enjoy the money.

I would have to go by the way of the OP here and I simply do not know what you are actually disagreeing with because your points and those of @Wiwo are two different thoughts which are still needed by gamblers to preserve the gambling psychology and acts. Wiwo was talking about self-examination which is also the main context of this thread, and if you must know, this is the overall evaluation of oneself and not merely being self-conscious. Mind you, those who are self-conscious can still make mistakes due to one of the emotional factors affecting gamblers, while some will not even be easily and immediately deciphered by the gambler, unless the fellow is just so sensitive and wise.

Now, don't be surprised that the reason(s) for the mistakes (hidden or not) may later be revealed through the evaluation that Wiwo was discussing in case you do not know. Which one is now greater?

Also, having gambling rules makes it better so that the gambler will not be randomising the self-examining exercise and thereby causing style drifting in gambling styles and rules. His advice is so on point if I must say. While yours is all about being cautious as a gambler, and nothing more.

Actually it do comes naturally because our senses or simply our brain would be telling on some point that you are really that spending too much already on which its impossible that for someone
to have that missed awareness on the moment that they would really be keeping on depositing funds into a certain platform just because he had lost up that much. The only main issue on here is that on the time
that you are really that aware on the things you've been doing is that you do neglect or reject it out and would really be that ending up on a disaster when things becomes messy.

If you are that sure that you are spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose in doing gambling then you are really just that doing fine but if you are that someone whose really that
not that having that kind of awareness on the things you've been doing then most likely you would really be ending up on having that disaster and this is something that you must avoid in the first place.
People wont really be that tending to make some decisions on the time that they arent experiencing any hardship.

[Hewlet]

As gambler when last did you self-examine your gambling habit to create that awareness based on how you are gambling in order for you to be quite sure if you're within a considerable or an acceptable range of a gambling habit that is void of addiction or the tendencies of gambling addiction.

I think that it depends on what kind of a gambler you are, if you're someone that's discipled enough to know how you go about your gambling habit, then you don't have a problem at all. For me, I usually have a busy work schedule during the week and before I'm home, I'm mostly tired and will just catch up with relatives after which I exit back to the bed. My gambling seasons has always been during weekends mostly on Saturdays and it's mostly in the evening so I doubt that's goong to possibly lead to addiction.

Those that are to be worried about are individuals that don't have a steady streams of income and that are probably using gambling as a possible source of income, it's deficult for them to even check up on thier gambling habit because for most cases, they are mostly addicted already ane have to figure thier livea out before thinking about cutting down on thier gambling habit. If they are able to figure their lives out, then regulating their gambling habit won't necessarily be a big deal.

I agree with you that self cautious is good when we are gambling, but you should also know that our gambling activities can also be controlled by our emotions. There are somedays that you might just want to keep on gambling for a reason, and during that time you might not be able to quit, because you are enjoying the fun.

For one to be able to achieve self cautiousness in his gambling activities, that person must be discipline, and when you are disciplined, there are rules that you need to follow to make you disciplined. You can have a gamble budget like 2% of your income for the week, and also set time limits for your gambling activities. This will help you be on track with your gambling activities.

Despite this, there are still many individuals who do not have a steady income stream who still use gambling to earn income. They think that they can make money from gambling like people who have been successful before.
However, their assumption is not correct because those who can make money from gambling are truly lucky people. They are the ones who have the opportunity to make money from gambling.
If they can think about it, they shouldn't have to try because it's not easy, especially since they also have to use more money which doesn't guarantee they can make money. They better think about other ways that can help them make money. Otherwise, they will just become addicted to gambling, which will be difficult to cure.

The point is, don't get into the habit of playing gambling beyond limits because everyone has to limit their gambling so that it doesn't end badly or cause a gambling addiction which makes someone become bad from their gambling habits. It's difficult to be consistent and also disciplined because everyone has different abilities in this regard, sometimes sometimes they can't do it consistently and can still make mistakes like I did when playing consistently and disciplined but still often make unnecessary mistakes.

It really takes time to be consistent and disciplined, even though it is difficult, slowly everything will become a good habit that will continue to stick and can be an important alarm to remind yourself when you play excessively. It is important to limit your gambling budget because we can know when to gamble and know when should I stop gambling, as long as it is done with strong determination it will definitely be successful, I also only use no more than 5% of my income every week for gambling, sometimes less than that depending on and adjusting to life's needs so as not to be disturbed by gambling.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Time control and money management is something that can indeed stop some of the things that arise in us in gambling, such as greed, impulsivity, compulsive attitudes and things that can trigger our emotions to become disorganized and our mentality becomes bad because of being carried away.
So that's why time management is very important, one of which is knowing when you have to work, when you gather family, when you worship and when and how long you gamble in a week or day, but I'm pretty sure many people miss this and don't care about time issues, because indeed time discipline in life is the most difficult thing for anyone to do, because people who can manage their time are happy people.

It's interesting what you say, because I was thinking about that type of strategy for a long time, I think that sometimes when you enter a casino, and you start playing, the longer you play, I think it is much more difficult to win, but if you play Opportunities increase quickly, or they are lost all at once.

Of course I don't know how efficient that style of play will be, but when I'm playing for example dice, if I play and bet hard and until I win I don't fold, what happens is that sometimes the system sees our intention and doesn't let us play, etnonce shay to change the strategy, maybe last a little longer but to win safely, but these things are not fibale, in fact for a long time I was trying that, but it didn't give me much results, etnonce the best What you can reach as a conclusion is that time does not influence much, what influences is spending the money that one is allowed to lose, without risking our status quo, because you cannot have the irresponsibility of spending more than normal , because it is sometimes difficult to spend the money that is earned with so much work and effort.

Things in technical terms in my opinion can be free in choosing any gambling, whether it's dice, cards, slots or others, talking strategy in the game is optional and technical things like that are varied by each person, but what I want to emphasize is the use of time to gamble for the gambler so that he can realize and know when to stop, yes like a separate alarm to warn us that the time you set for gambling has expired and you have to stop even though you still have enough money left in the casino to continue the game but still you have to stop from the game because your time is up. Whether it's effective or not depends on how disciplined you are in the management you do for yourself. And why not try doing it for the next month.

It is a very good suggestion, I like the time thing, you should have a limited time when playing in a casino, this to avoid taking longer and making you lose more money, although the truth is I have tried that strategy and I can say that if it had only given me 10 minutes or even 5 minutes I spent the money equivalent to playing in 1 hour or so, so for this reason I thought about limiting the money to play, that is, I would allocate 20usd to play and if I lose it then it would not be a considerable expense but rather something uqe I allow myself to lose without affecting my life, I deposit them in the casino and with those dollars that I have for my gaming session, if I lose them nothing happens, I accept my defeat, but I am still stung or with more desire to continue playing, I must have the discipline to not make another deposit, because I would spend more money and probably not get the money back, but I would give it to the casino because I would play out of frustration.

Therefore, when one limits the money that one is going to play in the casino, one can consider that it does not matter if one suffers from many emotions because one can let them flow naturally, but once the money runs out, the party is over, it is not going to happen. more, and if you win and reach the minimum to withdraw that money, you don't have to think about it, you have to withdraw it and enjoy that money, without so many obstacles, that's what I have learned.

It is the opposite in fact, have you ever had a moment in which you had so much fun that time seemed to just move in fast motion and suddenly you realized that you have been partying, playing video games or whatever else for too long? Gambling can also produce that kind of feeling, so a person may feel they have been playing for just an hour or two, but in fact they have been gambling all day, it is because of this that we need hard-set rules, and whenever we notice we have gambled for as long as those rules state then we need to stop immediately.

[boyptc]

Whether you're aware that you're not yet] addicted. IMO, it's important to have yourself always on check.

You don't know if you're still in shape and you can really control yourself or not anymore and you're just trying to prove it based on your thought but without looking at some evidence.

There are gamblers that are in denial and trying to skip that part because they know what they are up to when they check themselves.

[BlackBaron]

Maybe everyone has felt the same thing as you mentioned, we must have gotten carried away and enjoyed a game so much that we lost track of time. It's true, by managing the time we can end a game at any time, which is easy to say, but most people find difficult to do. Because gambling is really fun, especially if we are on a lucky day and are in a winning position, it is difficult to just end it.

[adpinbr]

This is like I always say about gambling because of some experience that I have seen from different angles gambling need a maximum understanding of the strategies that is typically involved in it, gambling is something we should always take precaution, and know the steps that we have already taken and look back to know if it’s a habit or how is the situation of the gambling And how it’s really works Gambling and easily done habits which would definitely affect, I don’t really have much to see for gambling habit is not always advisable to us

[tread93]

Self examination is very important. It has been easy to immerse yourself wit gambling without realizing when it becomes problematic or addictive. We should regularly ask ourselves, how much time and money did I spend? am I having negative consequences?, do I feel in control? with these questions you can gain a clearer understanding about your habits whether there are red flags or warning signs of addiction. It's important to have self awareness to ensure that gambling remains as a form of entertainment rather than source of harm.

To add to simply just asking yourself these questions I would like to add that if one should simply write out the pros and cons on a piece of paper, as well as the money gambled, won, and lost, I think this will help this all feel a bit more real. Between that list of whats been wagered, won, and lost & the pros and cons about it I think it will help anyone make better decisions should they ever find themselves in a tough spot feeling the addiction taking over. At the end of the day you have to have the will power, self control, and the wit to know how to make yourself stop & take action! Always tell some folks you know in confidence to help you stay accountable & you will be one step closer to getting control again.

[bettercrypto]

I’m a regular gambler and I’m always doing this after I finish the game badly. Most people forget this important part of gambling that’s why many keep falling on same mistake such as chasing losses.

But if you are only wagering money that you can afford to lose, you don’t need to do this frequently as you knew that you are not using money that is dedicated to important things. I’m not losing frequently so I do this in very rare occasion but it’s different case on many gambler since losing is frequent to occur especially for those slot players that always chasing max win or high multiplier.

Overall, it’s really good to check your gambling habit from time to time.

Agreed, it is also important that we monitor the habit that we always have of playing gambling. If we see that we are developing an addiction little by little, we should immediately take action to change it. That's why having self-control is a good habit.

Because if we can maintain and get used to it, we can for sure exit immediately when we know that we have won from our gambling because we have self-control implemented in ourselves as gamblers.

[Accardo]

Sincerely, people don't actually notice easily those changes in their habit. That's why I will always go for a self examination with other people around me to evaluate my habits. Few or more gamblers claim to run the self examinations themselves and get results. Yet, I don't seem to be convinced about this idea. Even the mirror don't define use clearly like humans or friends would.

Conversations plays a vital role in self examination. A friend could say, I notice you've been gambling way too much lately. It's a point that we ourselves may not be able to figure out easily. Even during the period you'd think you've not been gambling enough. So, while self examination is good, I think when it's done in group, fresh ideas would emerge from other people about our new gambling habit.
