Responsible, and Safe Gambling.

[khaled0111]

I remember when I was very active gambling, I lost a lot of money and to recover back from those losses I tried to gamble more, there was a night I lost around $50 to sports bet, and in other to meet up with thos losses I doubled the amount on a match I thought was going to be a sure winning for me, but surprisingly I was wrong and I ended up losing the total amount of
 $150 in one night

That’s the mistake most gamblers make: trying to chase their losses. It just doesn’t work. It will only result in more losses. Out of frustration, you’ll keep gambling and placing higher bets in the hope of recovering your lost money, but we all know how this always ends… more losses, unfortunately.

You should control yourself and know when to stop gambling. Just take a break, go out for a while, and come back later or another day to try your luck again.

Perhaps a good cure for continuing the marathon of losses in gambling is an internal and deep understanding of the fact that, no matter how you continue to play, you will face losses, it will definitely happen at some point.

Some people are the cause of their problem,  it's not as if they are not aware of the risk of gambling, not that they don't know that they will encounter losses but they kinda have some confidence that they could be very lucky more than anyone else, they forget to realize that it doesn't work like that. From what I have seen so far, there's no addicted gambler that would say "they didn't know that gambling is a game of luck, " They know but ignorant caused them become addicted.

Every gambler (both the newbies and expert) may understand that gambling is a game of chance but it is not every gamblers who's addicted today is fully aware of the risks involved in gambling. It is just like crypto trading where some newbies have the belief that it is a pot of gold where they only need to buy low and sell high to make a profit whereas the major concept of crypto trading is beyond that.

This is the exact thing we also see in the gambling space.

Perhaps a good cure for continuing the marathon of losses in gambling is an internal and deep understanding of the fact that, no matter how you continue to play, you will face losses, it will definitely happen at some point. This is inevitable simply by probability theory and because this is the main essence of the game itself. Maybe at least such a thought will make it a little easier for a player who is already close to gambling addiction to stop his game.
Of course, such advice may not be an ideal, well-acting medicine, but it may well help someone stop in time.

Yes, one can never gamble only to win. And it is completely impossible. Sometimes good things can be gained from gambling, but if you continue gambling, you have to lose even more from them later. So if one has the capacity to waste his money on gambling then he can do so. Gambling is a complete waste of money.  However, everyone could not control their greed and resorted to gambling. Because they think they will win big by gambling. But in reality they all have to lose.  Everyone must have responsibility for this. Otherwise they will lose everything slowly.

Well, each player probably understands responsibility in his own way. And what is completely unacceptable in a game for one, and in life too, is normal behavior for another. In my opinion, the range of responsibility, which is of course determined by self-control, is so large in the minds of different players that as a result we get a huge number of people addicted to gambling, casinos receive super profits and a huge mass of people pay for these super profits because of their greed and real irresponsibility.
And this will probably always be the case in the history of mankind.

Some people are the cause of their problem,  it's not as if they are not aware of the risk of gambling, not that they don't know that they will encounter losses but they kinda have some confidence that they could be very lucky more than anyone else, they forget to realize that it doesn't work like that. From what I have seen so far, there's no addicted gambler that would say "they didn't know that gambling is a game of luck, " They know but ignorant caused them become addicted.

Too much confidence made them ignorant. That's how it ended for them, they're aware of the risk and the ugly outcomes that they might encounter and yet they still did what they don't have to do. Those that have became lucky gained more confidence and that's what they have carried on for their next gambling bets and it didn't do good for many. We knew how it will end up for us but we should still keep reminded and become responsible for as long as we can be. Always think of how to gamble safely without compromising our very own bankrolls.

Those who gamble with high confidence gamble with large amounts because they think they know the gambling algorithm very well and they are sure to win. Their confidence and attitude push them towards destruction. I don't know who can gamble with confidence, because gambling is a game that depends entirely on luck and no one can guarantee their win. Those who get excited after seeing a few gambling wins and start thinking of themselves as gambling experts will eventually lose everything, this is true and it always happens. Therefore, it is necessary to be responsible while gambling and one should definitely gamble with a limit if one wants to protect oneself from destruction.

Self control is one of the key to make yourself still on the game, if you get carried away with your emotions to get back those losses possible you ended up a wrong decision such as making another deposit continuously because you want to get back your money instead of earning it back you make additional capital and expenses, but base on my experience once I got a losing streak rest and take a break is the suitable thing to do so you can get a take time to think properly and calmly.

The actual truth anyway, but it looks like it's this very same thing we keep saying over and over again with no one even trying to look on the other side of the coin, it is commonly said that what ever has a potential profit also have a potential loss and vice versa, so if it is actually possible to lose money chasing after a loss, it is also possible to win money while chasing after a loss as well regardless of the low the chances of this happening is.

Atleast, I believe some of us have witness a user on this forum who sometime early last year posted about how he lost money on a casino and how angry he is about it, he said he was going to deposit more money and chase after the loss, majority here adviced him to not, but in the end, he deposited more money to the casino and began playing again, he ended up winning over 6x what he initially lost, plus 3x or more of the last deposit he made with which he chased the previous loses with.

So, what I am trying to say is that, sometimes, some gamblers can be extremely lucky.

That results in bad faith if they have been too confident and forgets to lie low a bit. I know that many gamblers have a lot of money to gamble and they can stay for as long as they can because they know how it works for themselves. But sometimes, it's really wrong to have that thought because it gives them the wrong impression of how to keep themselves safe. If they are not careful, they'd lose more and they will show to themselves how irresponsible they are.

We could not achieve that traits if we don't have any experience dealing with many things related to our gambling activities.

If people would see the positive and negative implications of those risky decisions they made then provably realization would came and people would think about creating better solution so that they would never experience any worse experience like addiction. Also If they can't control their selves I guess its better for them to quit since maybe gambling is not for them especially if they have low patience and have bad temperament which provably could lead them on unimaginable situation.

You are right, I do believe that anyone that can not have self control over their gambling habits, then the person should not be gambling, because they will definitely encounter big problem as a consequence of their addiction. It would have been more better that they quit than to face such big problem. I know that there are some people that when they realize that they can not practice such self discipline, they will just stop but some people would not.

Not all gamblers have the awareness to take a break and come back another day. Most of them just follow their passion to be able to catch up on their losses. That is actually not good because in the end they will only tire themselves out and spend more money than they should. Taking a break is not wrong, even though it is more difficult, but if a gambler wants to, they should be able to restrain themselves and think more clearly not to continue their gambling and stop it that day.

[Volgastallion]

Its quite impossible to ask a gambler to stop playing.... is nearby to a bad joke, is like asking an drug addict to please stop with his behavior, if anyone is deep into adiction is gonna need big help from outside.

Its not a magic solution. ITs patience and time.

Yes, until now, most gamblers still do that. They don't think about the things you say. Because most gamblers until now only do what they can think of
and many of them are still really driven by greed.

That's why if you play gambling, you still shouldn't eliminate the fact that a gambler has discipline and control over ourselves.
And use our emotions correctly.

It's not wrong and it should be one of your defensive mechanism in terms of gambling, make a hard stop will help you to avoid losing a lot, you need to understand that the chance of recovering is far small compared to the chance of losing more, take time to reassess your strategy take a short break and allow yourself to free up some negative vibes inside your minds.

After taking a break, then try to play and see if you can feel that enjoyment better to see it that way else, you'll fall back and aim for quicker recovery then lose your money again.

There are many articles online on how one should gamble responsibly, but are there any success stories of people who've successfully stopped gambling after following any advice mentioned in those blog posts?
For example, Responsiblegambling.org offers multiple posts as to how one should gamble, the impact of gambling on youth, and a lot more.

Impact of Gambling Official Blog Post

If You Could Lose, Why Would You Risk It?
There are other reasons people gamble too. Sometimes they gamble to socialize, or to relax, or to distract themselves from other things they have to do, which is never a good reason. Some people also see gambling as a form of entertainment, like going to the movies or watching a hockey game.

When emotionally unstable, you shouldn't risk a lot, even during that time. I have thought of mentioning this post here. Whoever finds it useful should read it.

An emotional unstable person shouldn't gamble because they will make a lot of choices that will lead them to more losses and will not end well for them if they gamble. A gambler who's emotional  will always chase his losses and will make them become addicted to gamble. However, gamble should be done for entertainment, it shouldn't be seen as a means of concentrating on something else.

I want to hear more ideas about how someone stops or controls their gambling habits.  

If possible, an emotional gambler shouldn't risk at all because humans always try new things, so one day they might want to try and wager higher.

It is indeed a bad joke to ask a gambler who is addicted to stop playing a game when s/he has already seen the game as something that his/her whole life depends on it.

This is why professional help is the perfect solution in this situation, but that doesn't mean the addicted gambler doesn't also need some help from relatives. The professional who helps in this situation also requests the relatives help at some point.

What truly matters is the mindset the particular gamblers have concerning gambling, because a gambler that have the mindset of gambling for fun is different from the one that’s gambling for funds, the one that’s gambling for fun can easily stop whenever he likes without any stress or drive of wanting to get back what he has loss during that particular gambling session. While those gambling for don’t usually know when to stop they usually stop after experiencing some massive losses or not having funds to keep going which is wrong because is better to have little than to have none .

[hahay]

Stopping and controlling gambling habits is basically easy, but for those who have the desire and intention to stop. After all, to improve yourself is also basically awareness of yourself, even though advice has been given but if they are still comfortable with their gambling, then any advice given will not work to stop gambling addicts from gambling. Therefore, to have awareness of yourself may also be with the occurrence of some bad cases that you experience, so that over time they can stop even though slowly. But, if they continue to gamble even though they have experienced a lot of bad luck, they should be able to change with good control in every bet.

You are correct. No one will say that they don't know that gambling is a game of luck from the beginning unless they are just ignorant of what they see in front of them. Some, aside from using the confidence of being too lucky, rely too much on their analyzing skills, which misleads them. They believe they have found the perfect means of winning all the time; even if they lose on a few legs, they don't see it as a sign, but rather they consider it to be a mistake from their end.

I don't think stopping and controlling gambling habits is as easy as you want to use to believe in your write-up especially to newbies. Majority of newbies in gambling started gambling without prior knowledge how to manage their gambling engagements making it very difficult for them to control their gambling activities. This is one of the reasons why topics like this are being discussed on this forum so that people can learn how to limit, control abd be responsible in gambling.
