Have you ever done something crazy to bet?

Sometimes it's not about the control that gets parents angry, but it's all about how they picture gambling to be, and also seeing a young adult take part in it can make them see their child as someone who is taking the wrong step. 

The parents are right, they are taking the wrong step if they are gambling at an age where they aren't mature enough to understand everything or have enough patience and self-control to gamble responsibility. Parents understand their children much better than the children themselves. Children would think they know everything and can do anything, but they are wrong, their parents would know their capabilities and what they can and can't do.

A lot of kids don't obey their parents just because of this, they think they are superior and their parents and the parents underestimate them for a lot of things but they are wrong, parents know and understand everything and they make their decisions based on their understanding of things.

Since they are called kids, they can make any wrong decision. It is natural that they will make mistakes. But in this case I don't blame them because it is their age problem. If the parents of a family do not take proper care of their children then they will step in any wrong path. For this reason, every parent should observe the child's direction or what he/she is doing. Parents must play a major role in guiding them in the right direction. A child does not learn anything from birth. He imitates somebody. If he has such an associate then the person or child who is in contact with him should be leave the company.or else he may get worse. Parents must behave responsibly towards their children. So that the children do not go the other way. Parental responsibility remains until a child reaches adulthood.

There are still people that would choose to do anything just for them to make money in gambling. Gambling is supposed to be something we could control our mindset for not just trying to win by all means. There are people who can still borrow funds to make sure they bet on their favorite game and try if they could win bets. Things are not supposed to be in this way and we need to make sure we plan things just to make sure that we don't go too far as gamblers. Money need to be made but we must also think we'll before we decided to do anything that would give us problems as gamblers especially getting funds from people in order to play gamble.

I think if you’re willing to do literally anything to get money to satisfy a desire, then you’re already an addict or well on your way towards becoming one.
When we feel comfortable borrowing money to satisfy a want or a desire, that’s a sign of financial woes that lies ahead. Financial debts would accumulate but that probably wouldn’t bother an addict as he only thinks of going over to the casino to play some more in unrealistic hopes of winning it big enough to cover up all his loans.

If one wants to indulge in a past time activity and can’t afford it, stay away and leave it till you could comfortably afford to indulge oneself.

I don’t think I have ever bet at the wrong place. It depends on your definition of a wrong place because to me betting doesn’t need any specific kind of environment. But I have bet at a wrong time before. By wrong time I mean when your emotions aren’t in complete control and you know it, but you still pressure/push yourself to play the game. There’s no time that is more wrong than such a time because the likely outcome is a loss.

I can think of a few places could be considered a wrong place, for example it can be a fraudulent casino, or a real world casino where you get mugged, etc.

About timing though, yeah, it's just a personal thing because in terms of math every bet is independent of the previous ones so timing doesn't matter.

Timing does matter. If you look at the example I gave, you will see how it matters. If you gamble immediately after a loss, thinking that the ticket is independent of the other then you may end in a big loss because even if the ticket is independent, it’s still the same person, and that person will carry the emotions to bet the new ticket.

Or could be the same team, that's what happened to me today, I bet on this particular team and they seemed to be losing. I have no hope to win but when I checked again on the live betting odds, I find it very attractive, so I made another bet on the same team and turns out they loss. I have experience this many times, I ain't gonna learn, LOL.. Although I know that based on my experience, I experience more losses when I let my emotion dictate me but there are really times that I feel chasing my losses is necessary.

If we use that standard you will soon realize that a great deal of people are addicted to something, as in order to buy something they are willing to put themselves on financial stress, it is just that since gambling has such a long history, and over the years people have noticed some gamblers fall into an addiction, that people are more wary towards it than other activities that have appeared recently and that are many times more addictive.

Hi community,

I remember when I was in middle school, we used to play cards almost every day, and our stupidity reached the point where we would skip classes while we were inside school. The method of playing was easy, as the largest number was the winning card. So, some of my friends and I would gather in the middle school bathroom and make bets with the money that we had collected  from selling cigarettes.
Of course, this is not something I am proud of and I do not recommend it to everyone, but it's just childhood memories .

-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?

Does strip poker and removing clothes count as crazy? But yeah, i've betted for other weird chores even if that's not counted. We have used poker when we were students as a tool similar to rock paper scissors or shortest straw, when someone needs to do someting. And sometimes we upped the stakes in real game when someone lost their money and they offered to humiliate themselves. Like running naked on the street or similar, or agreeing to do dishes for a month etc. I once got full plastic bag of different fine cheeses from my friend as he offered those when he ran out of money.

I also got movies, before they were easy to copy or there was a streaming possibility. And i once i lost my bike for a bet. That one i actually still regret.

Probably the craziest thing was betting on outcomes of video games with friends during all-night gaming sessions. Nothing as bold as skipping classes, but there were times when those gaming bets replaced homework or studying, leading to some frantic catch-up sessions later.
Definitely, moments like those are better left in the past as learning experiences, but they sure make for some interesting stories!

Sometimes it's not about the control that gets parents angry, but it's all about how they picture gambling to be, and also seeing a young adult take part in it can make them see their child as someone who is taking the wrong step. 

The parents are right, they are taking the wrong step if they are gambling at an age where they aren't mature enough to understand everything or have enough patience and self-control to gamble responsibility. Parents understand their children much better than the children themselves. Children would think they know everything and can do anything, but they are wrong, their parents would know their capabilities and what they can and can't do.

A lot of kids don't obey their parents just because of this, they think they are superior and their parents and the parents underestimate them for a lot of things but they are wrong, parents know and understand everything and they make their decisions based on their understanding of things.

That's right. Parents know everything that is happening with their kids. It's both instincts and knowledge about their kids when they are growing.
I know my kids when they are doing something wrong and sometimes they think I have an eye at the back of my head because even if I am not looking, I know if they are messing up something.
In regards to gambling, I just hope they won't be tempted to gamble especially at school because for me that's where most of my gambling habits started thinking my family won't see me or won't have any knowledge about what I am doing. But I know that they know too because my allowance is easily depleted even though the week is not over yet. And they also know that I don't have any money anymore to pay for my fare on my ride to school.
A young one can easily get attracted to gamble with friends surrounding him and that's when crazy things will happen.

A lot of kids don't obey their parents just because of this, they think they are superior and their parents and the parents underestimate them for a lot of things but they are wrong, parents know and understand everything and they make their decisions based on their understanding of things.

Well, most parents are known for trying to make the best decision for their children, but truth be told, we can't always be right all the time. Sometimes we need to ask what our children want, and sometimes we also need to break some limits in order for us to put them in place. 
 
As far as I know, parents can't detect that for a grown-up child, you can't stop them; you can only try, but they will do it at their own will without you even noticing, so the best is for you to embrace them and tell them the right way to go about it rather than them learning by themselves and from outsiders who might show them the wrong part.

If we try to do anything crazy about bet we are playing when gambling, we are likely to see the other way round as well being the outcome on what we have done, it can happens that we be in a situation of taking drastic steps on how we want to go about with gambling and this may only be something we are doing out of our own ignorance not minding the consequences to that, but as we may it, things may go as expected that we achieved a better result even at the crazy things we do.

Indeed, sometimes in gambling, it is believed that the higher the risk you a gambler takes, the higher the reward. But this theory isn't certain as one can never be certain or too sure about gambling. In fact, this can actually work quite in the opposite direction and lead a gambler into the unending cycle of making irrational decisions while gambling, with hopes of winning big and then forget about the potential consequences that it can lead you to. Indeed, this behaviour is mostly based on emotion rather than logic.

Although gambling involves risk, there is no guarantee that a gambler will be able to win at gambling by risking each bet. Taking more risks increases the chance of losing as well as the potential for greater rewards if you win. But what the gambler has to do is to bet within a limit and control the gambler's greed. Greed forces every gambler to take extra risks which greatly increases his chances of losing. There were times when I used to gamble recklessly. I used to manage gambling by ignoring some basic things that depleted my bankroll. But ever since I started paying more attention to betting, I felt a little better about losing. Gambling is always hard to win but even if you lose there are few regrets. Above all it is important to focus on how to enjoy the bet without going too crazy with it.

Yes I  can actually agree with you that greed can make a gambler lose his sense of reasoning or making rational and calculated decisions, and when a gambler start gambling without think straight or without applying logic, he starts taking risks that he can't ordinarily take on a normal day and this is mostly as a result of people having this misconception about gambling beimg a way out of a problem, mostly financial problems, or maybe the gambler just wishes to multiply whatever amount he has in his account, maybe to cover more expenses.

Yes, when growing up, I usually see a lot of older people gambling with Card and setting money to make everyone put in their best and seriousness, one of the things that I do notice is that some people with a particular amount of cash, and they will start setting the money, putting the money in money, putting in money down to zero and finally at the end, they go home with nothing ending up, losing all the money they came with that is wanting about doing things and gambling which I don’t really like it is always good to have a particular amount that you need to gamble with not just running yourself dry just because you want to gamble.

That is bad, but what I personally think is way worse is what happens next.

Instead of going home, some gamblers would go to the ATM and grab some fresh cash to try to win their losses back.

Big mistake as the most probable outcome is to lose that fresh cash as well.

Cigars and betting in school that's crazy as *uk.

I don't remember doing anything like that to be honest, kind of disciplined kid in the school days and then as well, I only used to bet on fantasy that's kind of crooked game still I went to bet because the amount is too good to be true if I actual tops the table and that's happened a couple of times that I consider still a crazy decision.

I have actually done something for bet And i Dont Really want To go through that experience again , while still in School At My year Two precisely, i Was a Fan of lionel messi And still his loyal Fan till now .That very day i staked a bet with some part of My School fees that lionel messi will Score in the first half of the match , i Was very uncomfortable though i trusted messi And believing that he will score in the first half of the game .

The game Was moving on well And messi as usual Was contributing in all the passes , But no goal Was coming , they played till 45+4 minutes but messi did not score any goal , I was totally devastated and disappointed. The most shocking part of the story is that payment of school fees will end the next day and anyone who fails to pay will have extra year , I was very restless and losing weight till one of my friend completed the school fees for me and warned me not to engage in gambling ever again in my life . And that has been the crazy thing that I have ever done for bet.

That’s what I mean when I talk about wrong timing. If you gave yourself some time between the loss and the second bet, you could have probably made a better decision. What you did was triggered by your emotion. Don’t chase your losses, at least not for long. If you try and it’s not coming through, don’t keep trying or you could regret that you didn’t let it go from the beginning.

I've definitely had my share of "oops" moments. Like this one time, I placed a bet on a basketball game, not realizing the team's leading scorer was out due to injury. I was so sure of my bet until the game started and the announcers mentioned the injury. It was a forehead-slap moment, but it taught me to always check the latest team news before placing a bet

The same type of experience happened to me in soccer. I placed a bet on a corner but I didn't notice before my bet that my team had a red card. As a result, I lost a good amount of money for the misconduct.

That is the only thing that many must Learn to bet without going crazy, for me it makes no sense to bet just to bet, just to look good to others, no, things are not like that Because for one to have things done it is by working honestly and hard, that's why resting from work is something that doesn't cost anyone because the effort of the other Doesn't matter, one as a player cannot fall into those temptations, we can like the game a lot, but there are things that are above the game, our things, our family, everything that makes us have a life, that is what we must see before making any bet, we are very thoughtful people, we cannot take the step just because or because we let ourselves be arried away by emotions, no. We are minors, our actions have consequences.

We are minors, our actions have consequences.

Not just in gambling, whenever we want to do something that requires risking our emotions and finances, looking at the family and kids who also would need the funds is a strong factor. It's like an energetic hold back to the person, to stay strong for his family and loved ones. When gambling recklessly it affects not just the gambler, but many other people who look up to him. Being thoughtful as a gambler helps in building strong self-control so as not to fall off into a negative part of gambling. Doing something crazy for the sake of gambling has never been my thing, but don't know what it could be in the future.

The game is quite confusing, and people or players tend to change according to the environment around them. While I still look out for the best in the future, presently, gambling responsibly is a good thing. And shouldn't be left behind for any form of pleasure that other players claim is found in compulsive gambling. However, our self and what we want for ourselves shouldn't be neglected. And nobody wants for himself a broken relationship with his friends and family due to compulsive gambling. So, no need to impress other compulsive gamblers around us who want us to gamble in the form of chasing losses.

In everything a person those, your emotions towards that particular thing matters alot and includes trading and even gambling ( esp. gambling). You emotions affects how make decisions concerning your bet. This is why it is advisable that people learn how to manage their emotions before walking into the casino to gamble in order to avoid unnecessary losses.

Yes in any case emotions have a very big influence that can affect a decision making, and especially if you apply emotions to gambling involvement which as we know that the main requirement to engage in gambling is that you must have money which means that when you experience emotions due to defeat for example then it is very possible for you to make decisions that are beyond your abilities such as betting with larger amounts based on desperation and emotions which in the end it is clear that usually actions like this will only lead someone to a much worse situation, such as losing a larger amount of money.

That's right, as you said that this is the reason why all gamblers are advised to have good control and self-control, none other than it will be useful to reduce emotions especially when you lose, minimizing emotions is not to prevent you from losing but rather useful to prevent the amount of defeat that is too significant due to careless decision making.
