GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Responsible gambling behavior cannot be overemphasized; every gambler should already know that gambling is supposed to be handled as a fun activity and not a means to make a living. The reason why some people become addicted to gambling is because they see it as a reliable source of income and want to depend on it for their daily needs. Responsible gambling is the way to win the casino; those who are addicted to gambling are only causing themselves harm and enriching the casino.

Anyone gambling with more than what he or she can afford to lose, gambling to maximize profits and not for fun or entertainment, chasing losses, borrowing to gamble, spending more time and resources more than expected has fallen a victim of not gambling responsibly and it can probably becomes problematic which can lead to addiction, anxiety, depression and even suicidal in most cases. Understand your psychology and always stay within your reach to avoid a super story of your gambling exploration.

The worst of it all is the suicidal incidents where gamblers spend more money than they could afford to lose and then when they don't understand what to do, take a lot of tension which puts a lot of pressure on their minds and they kill themselves out of the fear that they will have to face the world after what they have done.

Things like these mostly happen when a gambler spends money that isn't theirs, they have either taken a loan or used someone else's money kept with them thinking that they will win the bet and return the money and keep the profit, and when they lose the bet, they get lost and out of the tension and pressure, they commit suicide.

Some time ago, a topic in this section was created discussing about a student committing suicide after losing his and his roommates tuition fees in gambling.

Sometimes I can't stop thinking about those who spend the money they have just to gamble or bet. They are really stupid, because they fail to achieve everything for something they are not sure they will get. Can't they reflect on other people's experiences, where many people are very rich but suddenly they fall into poverty just because of their own stupid behavior in gambling? And aren't stories like this enough to make them aware of how risky gambling is?

We must remember that learning is not only from one's own experience but also from the experience of others. Because we don't have to fall first to feel how painful it is if we fall. Likewise with gambling, to know the risks and negative impacts of gambling, we don't need to experience big losses first to know how risky gambling is if it is not done responsibly. Therefore, before something worse happens to us, manage these gambling activities as well and wisely as possible.

I know this is common sense to the majority of people on this forum but I can't stress how important it is to gamble responsibly.

There was a recent case in Australia where a man lost his entire life savings of $400,000+ in a 48 hour gambling spree.

The gambler lost $12,000 in a single bet and then tried to chase that initial amount but ended up losing his life savings.

I am a seasoned and experienced gambler and my one piece of advice to people is to only bet what you can afford to lose otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure.

The only liable person for the decision we've made is only ourselves, no other to be blame for whatever reason it is. On that case of 12k usd, it was too huge amount and if invested on a business that would rather gain a huge profit more than half.
Maybe if this was managed very well with a financial advisor it could be family member or any friend of this person, most probably it will not happen. Life saving shouldn't be wasted because that's for our future, well that's his decision but we shouldn't overspend this certain amount just for gambling because common sense will be out of nowhere if many people just let themselves drowned to this severe thing being irresponsible gambler.

Goes without saying that sometimes, in the pursuit of more money and winning back the losses that you incurred in the past, you end up buckshotting your own ass a couple more times. So if you don’t wanna end up with a swiss cheese for an ass you might wanna hold off on taking that next gamble and instead take a rest.

Sad to see someone go from gambling their lives literally, but let this be a lesson in life that whatever you gamble with, be it money or time, it’s not just that that you’re putting down the line. You lose your life in the process, and if you’re not careful enough like this guy, you either end up like this guy as a husk of the man you once were, figuratively and literally.


So yeah, gamble wisely, set limits, don’t be stupid and respect yourself.

It was sad what happened to him, and how sorry he was for spending so much of his savings just to chase his previous losses. I don't know how he could think so short-sighted in just 48 hours after losing so much money. I think he will be stressed after that.

In gambling, when we lose there are always whispers to gamble again because we hope there is still hope, there is a win to cover previous losses, even though that is a trap in gambling. If we cannot control our emotions and follow our emotions then that is what will happen, our savings and even our immovable assets will run out. We have to be smart when gambling, we have to be sane in order to be responsible gamblers. There are also many people who spend a lot of money gambling while drunk, in my opinion this should also be avoided even though we can gamble responsibly but while drunk it is better not to gamble because it will also result in losses without us realizing it.

Continuing to bet to chase losses is the worst thing to do.

It seems that this player was high on dopimine and didn't think straight.

Losing your life savings is crazy, it's a lot of money, he ended up losing it in a very trivial way, if at least he had invested that amount in a business, he would have had a better chance of making a profit.

Desperation of having money quick is what put a lot of people in problems like this. I think the guy had thought gambling could fetch him good profit quick and he did with gambling with the amount he can't afford to lose . But you right if this amount of money should have been channel into business it would have been very better because in in business even if one have to lose it is not possible to lose this amount of money at a time. The truth is that this happens as a result of too much Desperation of making profit from gambling so quick, I think the gambler never thought he could lose his money,  thinking that since the money is big even if the first set of the game ends up as lose their will be way for him to recover it.

It can be very obvious how people most times be at the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing, this is exactly what I could called a misplaced priority, using money that maybe probably be used for business to gamble. It is so outrageous that gambling can be very problematic when prioritizing gambling as a means hustling or side hustling to increase your financial stand, I heard a story where a man used his only family inherited landed property as a collateral to gamble, although he succeeded but that very risk as gambling has no 100 percent guarantee irrespective of how long or experienced you have been.

Gambling responsibly is indeed very much needed because if a gambler does not have a good sense of responsibility then he will definitely play not on the right path so that he will make many mistakes in every gambling session.
A strong desire to achieve victory seems to be immediately obtained so that he plays gambling with a very strong sense of greed.

That's right, and in addition to being needed it is also always a personal skill that is always recommended to all gamblers, good responsibility in gambling can be said to be the key to avoiding various worse possibilities such as losing a larger budget, because with responsibility it is less likely for a gambler to chase his losses.

The impact of not having good responsibility in gambling besides being able to lose a larger amount of our money can also make a gambler stressed or depressed when experiencing a losing streak, and this stress can certainly be one of the triggers for impulsive or aggressive decisions that are more harmful to themselves, many of them end up taking out all their anger on the people around them such as family members including their own partners. Basically gambling is nothing more than a probability activity that does not have any certainty for the outcome, meaning that victory and defeat will always come alternately, but when luck is difficult to achieve then of course you will lose more than win, therefore the benefits of ability or having good responsibility in gambling can prevent various aggressive actions and decisions when in such situations.

Yes, and the point is that a sense of responsibility has a positive value for gamblers in carrying out their gambling activities. With strong responsibility and discipline, gamblers can also minimize the loss of a lot of money due to frequent betting in gambling and not only that, with a sense of responsibility, gamblers can also avoid addictive behavior in gambling.

This what we face when we don't apply cautiousness when gambling, it is almost in all gambler whenever they are gambling and see their account balance being emptied it won't even occur to them that is time to stop and exit from gambling site. It will only be down on them when they finally swiped their bank account zero level especially when they have access to their entire life savings it will easily lead to misfortune and setback. Like I always says they should plan their amount to used for gambling it could be 1-5 percent of their weekly/monthly income with this when that amount is exhausted then they don't have alter any other further money from their personal accounts to fund their gambling site, I know lot of us here are hard time gamblers who are trying all means to scale up their earning by gambling consistently.

It is bad advice, no one should use any percentage associated with their main income to bet, it is 0%, the best way to get started in the world of betting is to get funds that you have no problem losing, so that advice It seems extremely stupid to me, I'm sorry, but someone who wants to find justification for betting thinks that way.

The best first bet is to be aware that you are not a candidate for being a symptomatic addict, and then you must be intelligent enough to understand yourself as a player and know when you need help. In either case, never hesitate to pay for a consultation with a specialist, for that you can take part of your income.

Maybe you are not a real gambler because if you don't have a plan for your gambling activity then it shows that you are not a responsible gambler. Gambling without planning the amount you are using for gambling makes that person a stupid person just as you said of gambling without planning for the funds. As someone who wants to gamble you can't just pick up any amount to gamble without adequate record and track of your fund, like i do i map a specific amount from my earnings to gamble this doesn't make me a stupid person neither I do not know what i am doing, the deal there is that whenever this allocation is exhausted there is no result of game or any form of bet that could make me alter my funds to gamble again until the next month when allocation is refilled again.

For allocation and percentage I mean is that, if someone uses their 1 percent of their monthly income to gamble per month it makes them have control over the way they go about gambling consistently, when this money is finished then such person stop gambling for the remaining days of the month.

But what people stupid is to keep gambling without allocating a specific amount to gamble the same thing as you said only stupid people can just keep gambling without tracking their the money they gambling and what you are saying it's very easily to lure people into addiction, since they should gamble with their spare money, meaning to whatever amount they have if they not using it for something meaningful they should put it into gambling is that what you mean?

My dear no, I think you are the one giving people bad advice, and you don't know how uncontrollable people seems to be in terms of gambling but if their amount of gambling is being limited to them, maybe the specific amount sets for gambling is finished then that person has no right to go touch other of their funds to gamble with this you can maintain a healthy gambling practices. Except you want to turn it to a debate then i don't mind creating topic and pull for people to vote and see whether you said is stupid on not.

With strong responsibility and discipline, gamblers can also minimize the loss of a lot of money due to frequent betting in gambling and not only that, with a sense of responsibility, gamblers can also avoid addictive behavior in gambling.

Having responsibility when playing gambling will helps us to avoids a mistakes that many gamblers face because we will know how to treat gambling as an entertainment. Gambling responsibly can helps us to keeps control ourselves and not breaks our rules in playing gambling because we knows that can makes us lose too much money.

Gambling responsibly also gives us a chance to manage our money that we will use to playing gambling because we don't wants to see we gets a big lose. The important things here is we can avoids to become addicted to gambling because when we playing gambling responsible, we will always trying to take care of ourselves and not lets us spends more money. We only use the money we can afford to lose in gambling so we will not worry with the big lose.

The most important reason why we should gamble responsibly is so that we don't lose money that we can't lose, that's where it matters, which means we need risk management, money management, personal control and many others in order to gamble responsibly, it will emphasize ourselves to have limits in gambling.

But no matter how good a human being is at controlling himself, sometimes he gets out of control and kills himself, but that is a rare thing, we just need to try to minimize the bad possibilities that will result from impulsive gambling.

Gamblers should be responsible as much as possible in the crypto business field we live in today. That's why most of the time they don't do it because they are always preceded by greed, a disease that can easily land on anyone.

But if at the beginning of our gambling, what we can do is limited, then there is control over ourselves as gamblers because we have practiced self-control, especially in our emotions, which are often our real enemies, right? ?

Perhaps you belong to the category of people that are supposedly gambling for fun even though they regret playing small amount whenever they win. The truth that we are not telling ourselves is that we rarely have funds that we can throw into the river, so there is always importance attached to any money that enters our hand.  That said, I believe that anyone who cannot apportion certain percentage of his income to gambling, preferably a single digit, might not consider gambling a serious business. Working with percentage is easier to calculate and also maintain rather than gambling without direction. So yes I agree with setting percentages relative to your income and that does not make me a reckless gambler. As soon as such amount is exhausted over the month, then one can pause until the next receipt of funds.

[Zigabel]

Most times, we have seen responsible gambling to be something w are going to do mainly when we use a particular money probably set asides for gambling and we use that alone to gamble not adding other funds to it which isn't totally wrong but i have another point of view which has to do with the fact that we can gambling with limitations even if we are profitable or we are loosing and also making sure to keep to the rules of the casino and other rules we must have set for ourselves and that which is of the casino that we have to abide by to be able to gamble. Making sure too adhere to a rule when you set it, especially money rule and other rule such as the number of bet to be taken a day and other things are all to be added to the summation of what you sum up to be your total responsible gambling habit and not only when you are not using funds meant for something else or not gambling to the point of addiction. gambling to the point where you get to be bale to apply restrain when needed is very important and lastly i think gambling to the point where you are don't need to win to cover up your loses not to chase losses and not to get addicted gambling or gambling to make money then it can be said that you are getting to a level where you may have to be able to take complete charge of your gambling habit, then it can be said you have attain a different level of responsibility gambling.

The real enemy is oneself, I would add. It aouns cliché, but in the end one is the only one who deposits the money into the account and decide to gamble on any game which crosses our path.
That is why I would recommend anyone who does not have enough self-control (in general) to stay away from gambling, drugs, alcohol and smoking and keep their mind busy with any other activity, instead of wagering money on the internet.

Once someone told me that one cannot control much about our personal situations, instrad we can control how to react to it. That saying applies to gambling and also to many aspects of life.

Yes, of course, but strangely there are still quite a lot of gamblers who treat their gambling activities in the wrong way, there is no responsibility in themselves when all the decisions they have taken do not produce something according to their wishes which makes them emotional. And one of the reasons why it is really difficult for them to take responsibility for their decisions, especially when they lose, is because losing means losing money and when a gambler cannot take responsibility for the results, it means they are risking an amount that is above their limits.

Therefore, it is very natural for them to get emotional when they lose, therefore what this means is that in order to be a responsible gambler we must first justify our approach to gambling, one of which is justifying the amount of the budget we want to bet, simply put, never risking amounts that you are not ready to lose, such as large amounts, and this is the only way to be accountable for every decision, especially when at the end of the session we experience defeat.

[EarnOnVictor]

I know this is common sense to the majority of people on this forum but I can't stress how important it is to gamble responsibly.

There was a recent case in Australia where a man lost his entire life savings of $400,000+ in a 48 hour gambling spree.

The gambler lost $12,000 in a single bet and then tried to chase that initial amount but ended up losing his life savings.

I am a seasoned and experienced gambler and my one piece of advice to people is to only bet what you can afford to lose otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure.

Well, this is what he has to pay for being ignorant of gambling and still less prepared for it. Gambling is an informal activity that is very accessible, this is why people take it for granted, but they should have thought of the risky part if they are wise. All risky activities are so psychological and if care is not taken, we might lose more money when we think we are smart, and it could get worse to lose our sanity. This is why we should always fully understand what we are signing up for in gambling so that it will not be caught unawares. You can imagine this person, he has that money but was never psychologically prepared for it, and I believe his revenge quest brought it upon him. Had it been he is smart as well, things may not have gotten to this level, and he might have called it quit early enough. The $12,000 is nothing compared to $400,000 if he handles the reasoning well and I will not blame this on inexperience, but on emotion and stupidity. And next time, he will know that it is only the sparable money that is meant for gambling, not live savings. I hope it is also a lesson for others.

It is easy to blame so many things for the addiction of people but just as you said, our greatest enemy is ourselves. I have seen people say that the reason they are addicted to gambling is because casinos engage in aggressive advertisements that are irresistible. But they fail to recognize that other responsible gamblers also face the same adverts but it doesn't make them gamble uncontrollably. This blame game is one of the reasons why I will not introduce non-gamblers to gambling. They will blame you for their misfortune if they face gambling problems.

Abstinence is the best option for individuals who lack the strong will to control their behaviors. Some people can be easily addicted to any behavior so it will be better for them not to engage in these addictive behaviors. This message of gambling with only what you can afford to lose looks simple but it is powerful.
