Do you think as a gambler we should allocate specific amount to gamble?

[Salahmu]

This post was a little misconception of a fellow user on this section saying that is not a good advise to allocate specific amount to gamble from our monthly income, that is good to gamble with spare money or money not in used.

Well the both point are actually good because when we removed a small certain amount of money from our monthly salary to allocate it into gambling is actually obvious that the money is like a spare change for us that whatever happened to it during the gambling will not affect our total finance or affect us emotionally, while spare money is also the money that may not have a negative impact our lives if being lose through gambling, so you can see that you both are actually on the same direction but the only misconception there is that the terminology you use and the one he uses are not actually the same, perhaps that's why it looks as if you both are saying different things because there is no way you would allocate money that would affect you into gambling, so is mostly spare money.

[$weetne$$]

To summarized here; whenever you are gambling with spare money if you don't apply cautiousness you would end up altering your savings in the name of gambling with spare cash or money not in use for other important things. Although if the person is gambling for fun it does matter because any amount wasted is always counted even though you sees it as peanut at least it's a minus (-) to the loser and to their bank account.

Gambling gets more challenging when you are losing because you would not want to lose and then you might gamble with money you have reserved for another expenses. If you have access to more money without a budget, you will always gamble more than you thought you would but having a budget makes you to be disciplined to some extent. I do not have a specific percentage I allocate monthly to gambling but I keep aside the quantity that I know I can use for gambling throughout the month and I would not have to touch money meant for other expenses. If I exhaust the money, I would had made some profits that I can use a part of to continue gambling. Everybody should know how gambling affects them or favour them and allocate money to be used based on how much that they are earning.

         -   If we allocate only a small amount for gambling that we will take from our salary if we are regular employees, I think that's fine, mate. The bad thing is that if we use 50% of our salary to play gambling in the casino, that is not the correct and normal way.

Also, this kind of practice is good for a gambler to get used to so that we can control the losses that we can experience every time we gamble. If there is no such limitation on our money to be used for gambling, we will end up with a big loss at the end of our gambling.

I choose to allocates 1-5 percentage from my income as my budget to playing gambling. I don't wants to do more than that amount because that can makes me spends too much money. Besides that, I have a bad experienced before as I use more than 5 percentage for playing gambling so I don't wants to repeat the same mistakes.

Many times I tried to reduce my budget to playing gambling less than 1 % from my income because I also trying to reduce my gambling activity. I realizes that playing gambling too often can attracts me lose my control which I already experienced before. Playing gambling doesn't needs to use too much money so less than 2% from my income will be enough to be used to playing gambling. If that money is all gone when playing gambling in a month, I can accept the result but I will not added more money to my budget because that will makes me lose all of that money.

Do you think as a gambler we should allocate specific amount to gamble? The answer is Yes if you a gamble you know the risk that gambling is involve money and if you dont set a budget you can go crazy and lost all of your hard earned money.

We know ton of story here in bitcointalk and other chat platfrom that people lost control and lost all money because fear and greedy so the point is yes we need to allocate some money depends on your strength

Okay I was mean to ask this question towards people over here to know and draw different overview from you all to know whether you always have spare fund or money not in use? As a matter of fact I don't have spare money or money not in use and every money is useful to me therefore I have to set some specific amount from my income to use and gamble to maintain a responsible gambling practice and when this money is exhausted I don't go further to alter any other money kept as reserved or cushion/emergency fund otherwise could leads to gambling addiction.

When we talk about allocating an amount to gambling doesn't mean that such amount is not useful but it's just a kind of controlling one's spendings on gambling because if a gambler doesn't set out an amount to gamble with then he may end up spending more than he expected due to lack of financial management. As someone who receives salary or wages, it is very important to manage your income so that you that spend so much money on frivolous things. Gambling is for fun and of which even the normal fun we do seek for in other aspects of life we also do pay for it so there is no big deal about spending a little amount in gambling even if you don't win so that you can be able to bear it when you lose so if a gambler doesn't allocate an amount for gambling it can lead to excessive spending which they may end up regretting there after. A spare money is not necessarily an amount that's not useful but money that is left after you must have spent some money on more important things.

In life generally, we should learn the habits of planning how we spend our income because if you don't do so you may likely be spending money on things that are of less importance. Scrapping out amount for gambling is a good way to responsible gambling and not gambling to addiction since after you exhausted the money allocated to gambling you gonna quit till your next budget when your income arrives. Doing so will save you from spending so much time in gambling activities and have time for other things of life, it will also make you to be more careful about your expenses and you gonna spend within your limit.

Exactly. Therefore, even your budget for gambling is a spare money, it will become futile when you don't have discipline. Because not being to control yourself when playing can only lead to committing a decision that is not planned from the beginning. Thus regardless if you allocated a funds meant for gambling or not, as long as you have discipline then certainly you won't spend a money that is mean for important things.

Anyway, I learned to allocate a small part of my salary for leisure. So that I can monitor my budget and won't let myself exceeds to my set limit.

It is not recommended to exceed the budget limit for gambling, this will make you even more stressed to meet your daily needs if you lose. In my opinion, every gambler has their own discipline or patience in playing, usually this is what makes them lose a lot of money when playing. Having a good chance in that round he raised his bet quite big and but the result was not as expected, his opponent actually won. I've seen incidents like this. It's true that we should only play for fun when our money is lost, of course we are ready for this, don't expect too much to earn income from gambling, this will make you even more addicted.

I will like to see your different opinion on this misconception maybe let us know how to control gambling addiction if by using spare cash can reduce and limits gambling addiction or not. You can continue the discussion over here if you have made your vote and give your opinion

a gambler don't really have a specific amount mostly when you really needed to win a very huge amount, so for me i know that gambling it's something that can bankrupt someone life so the only thing is to know your limits. And we all know in gambling that the higher the amount you stake the higher amount you got in return, so in this process you don't really have an specific budget for gambling or any spare money kept for it. And first their are set of gambler, the addicted ones and the ones who gambles for fun but they are all using money to gamble. The difference is that the addicted can't have a specific amount when it comes to gambling, but the ones which gamblings for fun can set up a budget for their selves because they aren't aiming at any specific amount in return while gambling. So it's clear to me that if you want to go into gambling just know that you'll spend more money than the ones you'll get in return from the casinos gambling.

[Peanutswar]

I gamble if theres an extra money like let's say for the total monthly I just play around 2$ of my earnings of course we are doing cutoffs every work so I guess I will play at the end of the month because playing every cutoff seems quite a bit short to play instead you have a budget at the end of the month most likely we settled our bills back on the discussion is just that approximate because personally, I do settle what my daily needs and savings as you growing up you have responsibilities over playing gambling yes it gives entertainment, joy and fun but we are using our money in other things now just small amount is enough to give yourself a small entertainment.

There’s a pros and cons doing this depending on the person behavior since we have different tolerance and thinking on our actions.

One of the cons of allocating money to gambling from your monthly salary is you will be encouraged to gamble every since your salary is already set as reminder to fuel your gambling activities which can be avoided if you don’t have plan at all.

Pros is when you don’t have self control while you really like gambling in regular basis since it will help you to manage risk involved on gambling which is already part of your regular activity in monthly basis.

[YOSHIE]

what is the percentage you think is good to gamble with from your income?

From the past until now I have used side money for gambling, I mean apart from salary or basic income, overall there is no definite percentage for that, Sometimes I get $100 in tips/side money, I use it all for gambling, sometimes I use half of that money, in essence the side money I get varies, it can be $100-$300, Of course I don't get that money every day, if there is a jop of course I can easily get it, if there is no jop, of course I won't get the money.

The point is: I gamble freely without any coercion and what I use does not come from my salary, so I don't need to measure percentages to gamble.

Only rich people gamble too much, but gamblers who are not rich are not entitled to gamble beyond their capacity. What will happen is that their lives will be ruined because of gambling because there is already an addiction that has formed in them.

So it is better that, from the very beginning of gambling, we get used to the small amount of money that we will gamble in a casino. Let's say that we allocate 10% of our salary to gambling every month or in the middle of the month. That's what any gambler should do.

Its a game where winners know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. I like this budget idea. Its smart. Its disciplined. Its how you take control, like I did with my businesses.

The money is power. Know how to use it. If you budget for gaming, you know it shouldnt affect your expenses, family, or anything else vital. The art of the trade is there. Gambling's fun yet risky. Be honest with yourself. Good for you if you're making money and investing it sensibly, like in real estate. Unfortunately, not everyone wins at the tables. Know your limits. Avoid game addiction. Be smart, disciplined, and most importantly, in charge. Thats how to win in life, not just casinos.

Yes, that's true, but in this case I think it's better if we generalize all the financial situations that everyone has, simply put, rich or poor, of course allocating a small amount of money for gambling is much more recommended, or that means whoever you are and whatever your financial situation. Of course, it is always recommended to bet without exceeding your limits. Because after all gambling will have a very significant impact, and I understand that rich people have a much better financial situation than poor people, but if we talk about gambling then it is clear that this is an idea that must be applied to all of their gambling approaches.

Because no matter how much money you have, if you have the wrong approach which tends to always be aggressive then it is clear that in the end you are also very likely to lose all your wealth assets in an instant, so of course this idea applies to everyone, and yes, lastly, maybe I agree with you that from the start we have to get used to only betting small amounts, but I would say that this action can only be done if from the start they understand what gambling actually is like as a whole.

[Slow death]

I have always advocated that people should set an amount that will be allocated to gambling each month, but they can only set this amount after paying all the bills they have and with the money left over they can make a list of things they want to do. to have fun and allocate money to each thing they want to do to have fun. For example, in the casino of a person who has a job and a salary of $500, that person should not take the $500 and go play while they have not yet paid all their bills and that person also cannot think that gambling is the the only forms of fun he should have

The right thing to do is for this person to take the $500 salary and pay all the bills, if there is $100 left, take $30 and keep it in the bank, take $70 to have fun and make a list of things to have fun with, take $20 for gambling, take $20 to go to an animal park, take $20 to spend time with your family, take $10 to pay for a walk with friends. It doesn't matter if the amount allocated for fun is low, the most important thing is that it diversifies the fun. This prevents addiction

If you are a regular gambler,  allocating specific amounts from your personal income will be very much adviceable. The reason is so it can help you regulate how much you spend on gambking or how long you spend at the casino. But for gamblers who gamble once in a very long while, weekly or monthly allocations might not really be necessary. The most important aspect we should take seriously is our ability to control ourselves when we gamble. You can set gambling limits for yourself and still gamble like your life depends on it while that gambler who just walks into the casino without any specific allocation will go home safe because he knew when to stop.

One kind of strategy cannot work for everyone, that  is why every individual should know the best strategy that works for them when it comes to reducing their risks. The most important thing is that gambling is being approached with caution and responsibility.

Setting the amount of money to gamble is a must, which is a limitation for us not to lose more than what he can lose, it is one of the principles of responsible gambling, setting the amount of money to gamble is setting limits to lose money.

Yes, a lot of people lose more because they lose control when they don't set limits, such as setting the amount of money to lose on gambling, but some people are skeptical about this, they prefer not to limit the amount of money they want to spend on gambling, such as a percentage of the money they get per month.

[salad daging]

Yes allocating a certain amount for gambling is a must if you do not do it then you will not be able to manage your finances it could be that the money that is spare / emergency savings can run out because there is no certain allocation this will continue to drain your money if you are addicted.

If the result of monthly income then it is 1-5% but there is an addition where other sources of income such as a little get from the usual airdrop will play a little for gambling. If there is nothing from other sources then I will allocate a little bit maybe I don't want to lose more to gambling.

Each individual has their own allocation, sometimes from their monthly income is different from us, it could be 1-5% big or small depending on the income.

This is right international especially on topic like this that has a mixed opinion with all users due to our preference on managing our bankroll. I personally preferred allocating my bankroll from my salary if I’m into gambling for that moment.

I’m not always feeling the urge to gamble especially if there’s no promotions that catch my interest. I’m too lazy to gamble on regular basis without promotion because I think bonuses is our way(players) to have an advantage against the casino to increase our profitability.

It depends on my mood whether I want to allocate or not when gambling but most of the time I do budget as way of self control.

[Kavelj22]

I do not think it is possible to specify a fixed percentage of the monthly salary allocated to gambling that can be appropriate for every person and under all circumstances.

Was thinking in the same lines as this isn't really realistic, percentage based gambling sounds like it can be done on paper but in reality it's easy to get carried away and go over the budget especially if your aren't a regular gambler.
Though for someone having a bigger salary, I believe percentage based gambling can easily work here depending on ones risk appetite and dyou really need to be disciplined to follow it otherwise once in a while you are likely to go overboard!!

This is completely logical if we want to deduce a general rule, and the only general rule that applies to all cases is “Do not gamble with any amount that you are afraid of losing,” regardless of its size. I believe that this applies not only to gambling, but to any other recreational activity (if the gambler is an amateur) or any investment activity as well (with the difference that it is possible to risk applying for a loan for the purpose of investment).

What I concluded from Op’s thesis is that he is hesitant about the percentage that he will allocate monthly to gambling, considering that he is an employee who receives a salary every month, and he did not take into account other cases, such as those who work in freelance or business owners, who undoubtedly represent the largest percentage of gamblers who are able to spend large amounts. My advice to him is to diversify his sources of income so that he can allocate an independent budget for gambling activities away from his monthly salary.
