Low Stakes Gambling

[Su-asa]

<snip> if you are going to compute like weekly losses the accumulation is going to be big.

This depends on the overall gambling habit. Someone that only risks small amounts and also controls their gambling time will not be at risk of accumulated large losses. The goal is to only risk as much as can be spared by the player to keep the activity fun for longer.

There are some slots that allows players bet aslow as 0.1 in their selected currency, if that the amount you can afford to lose over a period of time, then stick to it.

Yes you are right, the habit is all that matters, there are some gamblers that stake low but they do this consistently, accumulatively, those amounts that they lost would eventually add up to be a huge sum of money. So keeping your stakes low shouldn't be the only thing you have to worry about, you must learn to play moderately so you don't end up as an addict. One way to do this is by playing for fun, this allows you to gamble whenever you feel like just for the purpose of entertaining yourself without being under pressure to make money from it. Whether your stakes are low or not if you have more than 4 losing streaks just take break.

I actually prefer low stakes as you can get the same amount of fun and rush out of it as with more money. The only difference is that you do not go home as a poor man when you're done.

Playing big is not really worth it.

If you aren’t very much concerned about the wins, low stake gambling is what you should be doing. That’s because, it most times keeps you within acceptable range in the event of a loss since, you would be gambling with what you can afford to lose very often.

The issue here is, you’ll find yourself playing more of accumulation games which increases your risk factor and you might lose more often than you would win.

When it comes to high stake gambling, the course of action is different. Your still taking a high risk but, not in the odds for those that stick with the minimum but, you would be risking more money than you can of goes to lose very often.

If you are going to compute like weekly losses the accumulation is going to be big. And it might also lead to high stakes gambling later as you are not going to be satisfied winning small.

It is always like that if we compute our gambling staked histories because it is almost a %99 possibilities that we would lose more than we could win.

If you find your relatives or any gambling staking little amount of funds, u think such is good emulating ad we are ought to stake minimums to what we can afford to loose especially... When such gambling disciplines keeps you a responsible personality on a long run.

Perhaps... There are actually players who don't deviate from their gambling disciplines which those your relatives can actually make good ones

The first thing that cannot be changed is that losing will be the most frequent thing compared to winning, of course this is natural because basically gambling is also a business that is developed so casino owners are certainly looking for more profit than the funds spent on their players (winnings). With gambling that involves luck, especially in terms of winning, even with low bets we can get big wins, I say this because I have experienced it myself.

By gambling using a high bet amount, it is very risky because as I said before, defeat will occur more often and indeed has a greater chance of happening than winning, although if once lucky to get a win but that is not certain either. Unless you are ready to lose with that high amount.

A bet with low odds is neither good nor bad in itself. It can be both a winning and a losing one. The fact that people with large bankrolls often like to bet on low odds can hardly be called a reasonable strategy. Yes, most likely, a person will win this bet, since low odds win in most cases. However, the odds can be really low, or they can be artificially low due to the fact that a lot of money was bet on it, and little on the opposite bets. Therefore, it would be worth finding out the real chances of winning in this game. Perhaps they are not as high as it seems. In any case, if betting on low odds is a long-term strategy for a person, then one loss can bring such a loss that it will take a long time to compensate.

Are you into this kind of low stakes game? Or would just rather play big or go home attitude?

In low stake gambling the losing effects are usually small and not effectives to the gambler and wouldn't feels they are losing money while gambling, unlike the higher stake gambling and you know, anytime you are gambling and stake higher when you lose you would usually feels the pain for losing such huge amount, but while using a not worthy amount to gambling you can still calculate your lose at minimal rate of -10% or -20% than those who their lost ratio is at about -50% to -80% while their winning rate is on +5% to +10% for the duration of 6 months to 1 year. However, gambling with the amount you can afford to lose makes it very enjoyable without attaching so pain to it when you incur any lost.

Previously I think no one suggested and required to make bets with high amounts, low or high bets that will be made depends on our own abilities, it is not wrong to make bets with low amounts and that also allows us to be safer in gambling because the low bets made should not make us affected by excessive emotions or others, besides that betting with low amounts in my opinion is more advisable than betting with high amounts but it is beyond our abilities.

What is certain is that we must be able to bet with what we can afford, because it is useless to bet with a low amount but we ourselves cannot accept when the results are disappointing because it allows us to continue to deposit money in small amounts but periodically.

Well, there is no specific amount that is meant for gambling what just happened is that any amount we can afford to lose depending our income level is also good, but the most important thing should be we shouldn't gamble above 1-5% of our weekly/monthly income, with this we can be to able control and monitor the amount we are using to gamble. And Yes, low amount is the safest and it reduces the level at which we periodically lost over time but greed is what engulfed most gamblers because they want to win a specific amount from gambling whereby keep losing on a big time.

I don`t think that we can calculate possible to lose sum in percent from income. It depends on situation - if i have some free money, i just can spend as much as i want. But if i have small income and credits - i`d prefer even not to play.
When we talk about low stakes it mostly gambling for fun as for me. The way to spend time with pleasure. It is not about profit and big loses, just getting fun.

But the problem with low stakes can be that it quickly becomes boring because you will not be able to get the emotions that you can get with a big win, or get more adrenaline, it will be mostly just mechanical actions with no risk of loss and no prospect of winning. If there are debts or loans, then it may be better to forget about gambling until the financial situation is put in order.

[Smartprofit]

I like to gamble using low stakes. In essence, gambling with low stakes is no different from gambling with high stakes.

At the same time, gambling with low stakes allows you to significantly limit your potential monetary losses. I like the process of gambling itself. In my picture of the world, any active action that I perform requires philosophical understanding. Our whole life is training. And every day gives a chance to learn something new.

In gambling, what is important to me is not the winnings themselves, and especially not their size, but the life lesson that I received in the process of gambling. In fact, I study myself, my strengths and weaknesses.

In betting, there are odds that can provide opportunities for gamblers to win big even though they bet with low money. Thus, there will always be risks and adrenaline that occur, because not all gamblers who bet with low money choose low odds too. After all, I'm sure those who gamble just for fun will also certainly look for and choose big odds that provide opportunities to win with good profits too. But yes, anyone is free to gamble or not and gamble with big or small money, because when gambling there will certainly be adjustments from the finances we have so that there is always a difference in the amount of the bet.

I agree with you, in fact, in the case of gambling, a gambler should use money according to their income, which if he lost, he will not cause any kind of hindrance in their life journey. And for this, not using more than 1-5% of their income is a good strategy, which helps us maintain financial responsibility.
But the most important thing is to control our self-control and greed, because greed and addiction are things that force people to cross their limits in the greed of winning more money.
Therefore, in addition to setting certain limits in gambling, it is most important to strictly adhere to those limits.
So see gambling only as entertainment, and be responsible, and strictly follow all limits and rules, and gamble with money that even if lost, it will not affect our financial or mental state at all.

Only those who are wanting to make a specific winning are or amount through gambling are the people who wouldn't mind gambling with any amount to satisfy their gambling desires, but even as that they will still end up losing. The reason why people falls into addiction is because they are always trying to beat the house yet they keep losing, as they lose they will always wouldn't want to quit because they feels that they have gone too far not to quit again therefore they must continue without them applying safe gambling practice. Which includes; allocation of specific amount ranging from 1-5% of their weekly/monthly income, knowing when to stop and exit the gambling site, locating a specific hours to the casino which could be 1-3 hours maximum, and any gambler who can maintained this can likely control addiction.

How it can be boring if it is already becoming the betting style of some gamblers (including me)? Get bored or adrenaline is not about how much we stake but it is more about how do we feel our betting.
Do not even say that low stake gamblers as a no risk betting style, small amount can be big later if we do it frequently/regularly for long period of time.
It does not matter how low our stake in gambling, as long as it is the amount that we can afford to lose then it is better than we are forcing ourselves to bet bigger just to get the adrenaline.

You are right and such a set of people that have beliefs like yours are always satisfied with the outcome of their gambling because they are not after the money but the philosophical lesson driven from the gambling sessions, this is the true nature of gambling.
Day's a lot of gamblers now gamble to make profits and that is why they always stake high amounts that may way them down if they lose the bet, I think what we should have before starting to gamble is the mindset of the lessons and fun in gambling and not the prize all the time.

Gambler with low money can stake small amounts in their bet and gamblers with a lot of bankroll can stake big amount on their bets, IMO it depends on the amount you can afford to lose. Some gamblers prefer to sake on low odds with huge amount because they have this believe that low odds are 90% sure and might favor them. Actually the facts that nothing is guaranteed on gamble it means they might lose both on small odds and big odds.

Correct, it just separates some gamblers, I mean there are whales and then the majority of us here who are just betting small amounts. It's not that we just want to entertain, but we also wanted to win some money as well. And it's possible to also win big money as for sure I have seen you won some competitions in slot or been a avid slot gamer  . So in any case, there's nothing wrong with this strategy, you just need to have some patience as well as this might take a bit longer and your playing time are going to be extended. And then when the element of luck strikes, you will never now, maybe your low stakes could turn into hundreds if not thousands of dollars as you could hit huge multiplier on certain games.

In such a way gambling can become a problem. You will need to increase bet time by time to get emotions. It looks like the way to big lose and addiction. I bet mostly $5-10 on my favorite team during the game, to get additional interest and emotions. Or we play poker with the same sums - which we mostly spend together after the game.
May be someone need low stakes to decrease his addiction, but i think that it is bad idea.

i tried it myself. It doesn`t work without research. And we can remember a thread here, how gambler lost more than $1.000.000 with the odd less than 1.1.

Setting targets like this will be a very good thing actually but keep in mind also 1-5 percent also depends on the conditions and income we have because we also need to see the nominal deposited every week because for example when our salary is even higher the size of 5 percent will be very large.
So in the end there needs to be a limit again on that so instead of calculating by percentage I prefer to calculate with a nominal such as for example $10 or maybe the biggest limit is $20 when we don't have enough income and it inevitably has to be realized when the budget runs out every week / month before the time set then inevitably we must be able to limit ourselves first not to do gambling because when forcing it then we can be sure that the results will not go well in the end.

Discipline is again the main point before we gamble and say that we are responsible for the gambling we do because after all when discipline is lost then we must be prepared for the worst risk of addiction.
