Responsible, and Safe Gambling.

[GIF-JOBS]

Discipline is all we need to continue gambling without looking for shortcut that could make us lose everything we are supposed to get from our gambling activities. People are losing money to gambling if they don't follow their strategies and certain rules that will be helpful for them to get rewarded by making profits from their bets.

There are many players who gamble without a strategy and without rules. They believe that playing for entertainment does not require extra time, so they do not bother creating rules for themselves or developing a strategy. They simply choose a few matches that seem good to them for a bet. I consider this approach irresponsible, and it is very likely to lead to a loss of money. Even if a player thinks they are playing just for entertainment, I would still like to make a profit in that case.

Of course, if there are too many of them, they may think that they will never lose control, that everything will go as normal, and that their mentality will never change. Since they have not created any limitations, if their mentality somehow goes in the wrong direction, their losses will also exceed their capabilities. Playing with such a mentality is high risk, they are not creating any limitations, but they need to understand that the game situation is not always the same, that our game objectives can change at any time, and then our losses will be much greater, because we have no limitations, because we are not careful from the beginning.

A momentary loss of self-control can cause problems, so we should take care not to lose our self-control, even if only for a moment. But if it does happen, then we should quickly realize and get back to what we should be doing.
Don't get carried away by winning and don't get emotional by losing. Disappointment when losing is a natural thing to feel, but don't let it make us blind to then want to return the defeat. I assure you that is a very wrong thing to do.

Is it even possible for a gambler not to lose control, even in the slightest way? If it is, I don’t know and I honestly don’t think so. Many feel like losing control only applies to excessive spending of money in gambling, but then they forget that even losing track of time when gambling could also be associated with loss of control. When folks gamble, just as thy set limits for money, they should also set limits for time spent, and those limits should be guarded judiciously, and any breach in those limits could be considered as an act of control loss, though it might be a slight one, but it’s always important to retrace your steps and get things back on track, it happens to everyone but the key is always moderation.

Based on my experience, it's impossible for a gambler to never lose control at some point. There are times when they do lose control, but they quickly realize it and regain control.
However, I don't know what others experience. My answer is based on my own experience: I sometimes lose control, even though I've tried to avoid it. And I think this happens to most people, myself included. But the most important thing is how we recognize it. I don't think admitting we've lost control is bad, as long as we can handle it.

Yes gambling for fun is not but the richer way to overcome frequent losses and many other things but unfortunately many gamblers don't know the impact of gambling for fun. Gambling depends on luck because it's not easy to get rich quick through gambling because of what the casino have already put in place still most gamblers want to over take the casino forgetting that you can easily get lost in the game if you don't maintain discipline and self control.

It is very easy to say that we should gamble for fun, but sticking to it is where the problem is. Because gambling is very tempting, you might see someone that claims to be gambling for fun but coming back the following weeks you might see him chasing after losses or even chasing profit. So gambling for fun requires enough disciplined because If you're not discipline enough you would definitely change your mindset some day.

yeah, some of the things we say or advices on could be difficult to do from how easier it is to say it, but notwithstanding, people are doing it and sticking to it for as long as they have being gambling. What demarcates the gambler who stick to his words even in the middle of good or bad out is nothing short of discipline. When you see a person that was gambling for fun today later coming back to chase losses, you should know such gambler lacks discipline and honour.

Yeah gambling and income are not the same thing. Income comes from hard work time and skills which a person can control. But gambling depends completely on luck. You may win today and lose tomorrow. That is why thinking of gambling as a source of income is deceiving yourself. Some people may win by chance. But that cannot be called regular income. To build a truly secure future one should rely on skills work or honest means. Not on gambling.

That luck dependency is a very key distinguishing factor between gambling and income, by the way income is any money you get as reward r profits for a job or business, now putting it in the classification of rewards, gambling proceeds can be seen as a form of income but not a reliable or dependable one, so it is not a job to be considered as a consistent source of income, only jobs gives some consistency with income.

I believe and am convinced that most people who are currently addicted to gambling initially intended to gamble simply for fun. Unfortunately, they were unable to control their emotions while gambling, disregarded the gambling budget rules established from the outset, and shifted their focus to money and losses. It is people like this who will remain trapped in a cycle of addiction that is undoubtedly difficult to escape.  

Therefore, it is not only essential to set gambling budget limits but also to learn to control oneself while gambling. Do not let emotions dictate the course of gambling, as this will lead to a bad outcome.

[Leahized]

yes some gamblers only see the possibility of winning they see that of losing. They treat gambling as a one way thing this is the  main reason for most losses in gambling. The habit of putting than what we can afford to lose in gambling is a sign that we are seeing gambling as a one way thing and this is wrong. Lacking self control why gambling is also one thing that can make a gambler to think that they will end up winning.

To be honest, all gamblers know that the chances of losing here are very high. But not all of us want to admit it. This is the biggest problem. And gambling is not taken as a pastime, only an interest in making money. However if gambling exposes a gambler's loss side, one should quit immediately. Gamblers will not be psychologically affected by this. Only self-control will do.Conduct yourself through discipline. Then every gambler can feel safe.

Of course, if there are too many of them, they may think that they will never lose control, that everything will go as normal, and that their mentality will never change. Since they have not created any limitations, if their mentality somehow goes in the wrong direction, their losses will also exceed their capabilities.

For someone that is disciplined does not mean that they can not go out of control to gamble too frequently that can yield loses due to attempt to see is their is high chances of making money from gambling when it is done aggressively.
Anyone can become prey to reckless gambling and that is the reason why we need to have risk management in place.

And if we are to be realistic, even we who give out gambling safety advice don't stick to our own rules; sometimes we violate them a few times before getting ourselves back on track to show us how hard and tempting it could be to control oneself, but in all, self-discipline is what protects us.

Yeah, there's a chance they started just to test the waters or to have a bit of fun during their idle time. But it could end up being a bad habit and then soon lead to gambling addiction.

It's possible, and actually, I believe most gamblers started out that way. Still, after losses, this is where we should think about what to do next. We cannot just keep on going and pile up more losses until a time comes when we cannot afford the losses anymore. It's best if we can take a break while we think about what to do next.
There are instances when a gambler will change his perspective and start being in control of his gambling habit, and honestly, that's what I did. I have not played slots for a long time now. I am afraid to lose more, so I just focus on sports betting with cheap bets, but it makes me enjoy watching the games more.

That usually happens; nobody wants to fall into addiction under any circumstances, but this can be a reason to fall. That's why, when we're doing well, before going anywhere, we should plan all our movements and not do anything impulsively. Everything should be planned, especially money. If we have control over our money, we're doing things very well.

Being curious isnt that bad on which this is that always be part of us as a human but of course everything should be that in control and moderation specially when it comes to gambling because once you dont have the control and moderation then you are just that putting up yourself into a potential devastation. You are the ones will be needing up that sensible in regarding into the actions that you are that taking. Gamble for fun and entertainment and never ever make yourself that be able to think up about getting rich with it because this will be that resulting into that desperation and this is something that needs to be stopped immediately.

Gambling isnt bad as long  you are responsible into the  things you've been that doing. The main problem or issue on here is that people do really think up that they can easily make money with gambling on which this is a very wrong kind of mentality. Always be that mindful towards your actions because once you wont be that having this kind of sensibility then you are that bound on taking up actions on which are very wrong.

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.


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

There's no other responsible way of betting if one don't have a budget or bankroll, once anyone starts gambling it's quite difficult for the person to stop gambling especially when he/she is winning and making profit from it, but if you gamble and for a long period of time and you couldn't win then the person can easily quit because he will begin to think about his looses and get discouraged from betting since he is not seeing any dividends from it.

The best way to gamble is to gamble for fun and entertainment or when you want to get distracted from a disturbing situation but if you gamble with emotions and high spirit of winning and you couldn't win it will surely affect your mental health and senses of reasoning as you have putting all your hopes on the game. Well gambling isn't bad but it becomes bad when you get addicted to it and don't bet responsibly so to be on a safer side of gambling have a budget and stick to the budget while gambling.

That's why, when we're doing well, before going anywhere, we should plan all our movements and not do anything impulsively. Everything should be planned, especially money. If we have control over our money, we're doing things very well.

Of course, we have to be much more careful in matters directly related to money, every step should be thought out in advance, because people do not want to accept the loss of money, this is the case with most people, no one actually wants to lose themselves, everyone enters gambling with the intention of winning, although they initially set a certain budget, but later they cannot limit themselves to that budget, because they basically do not have the maturity of thinking, even if they set a limit, they cannot adhere to it, and because of this non-compliance, it eventually starts to harm them.

They can do it as long as they are clear that the only thing they have to control is money, nothing else matters. If you have enough to spend that you are willing to lose, there is no problem, That is my motto and it has worked for me for gambling and trading I never lose control and it is efficient.

For me, people have different reasons why they gamble, many gamble for fun, while many gamble to be distracted from challenges, while some think they can make it through gambling, anyone who thinks they can escape poverty through gambling is not being since to themselves, without hard work, consistence, patience, you can't make it in life, never allow yourself to get addicted to gambling, because it will be too hard for you to come out of it, always have it at the back of your mind that gambling is just for fun, when gambling it's best you use your discretionary income, learn how to save, distance yourself from gambling often.

Gambling with small amounts of money is better to stay safe from using big money and you later lose the money.
The only people that are allowed to gamble with high capital are those that have working are have investment everywhere so if they lost bets, they can be relaxed and not worry themselves like someone that is depending on the bet to pay for bills and debts they might be owing people. Since I lost huge money from betting, I have been very careful how I use my money to bet and this is precaution that is better than taking the risk and lose everything.

There is no such thing as responsible gambling or safe gambling. A gambler who can control himself and participate in gambling by controlling his emotions can be described as safe or responsible gambling. This is not surprising because every gambler initially participates in gambling responsibly, but then gradually he moves away from the path of responsibility. Initially, he thinks of himself as the most responsible gambler, and gradually he makes himself so reckless that he cannot control himself and becomes an uncontrolled gambler. Although he participates for entertainment at first, later the only target becomes profit, due to which he deviates from the ideal behavior of gambling.

[Sammye3]

Well, for every gambler the mentality matters a lot. Generally speaking, every gambler has the mentality of winning regardless of how little the odds could be, because life itself is a risk so why not take chances on gamble and see how far your luck takes you.

The issue is where addiction sets in on the chase for more winnings. Gambling itself is more or less not a financial advise to anyone given the huge risk and unassured profits. Responsible gambling in OP analogy could mean gambling within your limits, taking a break after a loss and practice discipline.

Your sentence is perfectly applicable in case of how the behavioural degradation of order to chaos takes place as logic starts playing his role to counter the urges of emotion. The self-control process mainly starts to fail once a person gets too proud of his/her capability to keep up with such responsibilities. Though I agree that safe gambling may be misleading as it does not take into account human psychological weakness to the temptation of gaining profit. This move in transition is a trap and in most cases results in financial ruin.

Emotions are what prevent you from losing control; socializing and other things are always an effect that makes games in physical casinos enjoyable There are other ways to socialize in online casinos through chats, but in both physical and digital casinos, what you must be very careful about is your money.
