Responsible, and Safe Gambling.

[shasan]

Most people will think that way only briefly and eventually return to gambling again, but I believe there is a difference between those who were initially addicted and had the intention to recover, then followed through and successfully recovered from their addiction.

But I agree that winning at gambling can be motivating; I've experienced that too. However, at this point, I'm no longer obsessed with chasing wins in gambling.

Though there is a difference between the addicted and those trying to recover but I think there is not enough difference between them. People get addicted mainly (almost 80% times) only by trying to recover the lost amount and finally become more loser.

Gamblers do not have the mentality to accept losses, that is why they keep playing, and that is the only reason for the big losses. The urge to recover makes people make the riskiest decisions, but if they had an idea of the reality before making such decisions, they would have a tendency to refrain from making such wrong decisions, but the saddest and most realistic thing is that most gamblers do not realize the right thing in time or before they have made a big loss.

Sorry but I may have to disagree with you here, I personally think there is a significant difference between a person who is actively addicted to gambling and still gambling normally and doing absolutely nothing to try to recover from the addiction, than someone who is addicted but trying all he or she can to get free from the addiction, this is a significant difference between this two because..

The addicted gambler may or may not know yet that he or she is addicted while he or she is gambling, maybe winning or maybe losing or maybe both.

But the other gambler who is addicted but already know that he is addicted and doing all he or she can to get free from the addiction will be limiting the way he or she gambles, this person won't be gambling as frequently as the other gambler, and this gambler will also be limiting the amount of money he or she spends on gambling than the other gambler, this is a significant difference between the two gamblers.

That’s correct, the one difference between someone who’s already addicted and one who are chasing losses is that, gamblers who are only chasing losses, maybe occasionally still has hopes of turning back, yes, irrespective of being very close to addiction, still has hopes of turning back, while those who are already addicted has no hope, and it’s always harder for them to turn back unlike the latter. In a nutshell, the latter is merely just in the early stages of addiction.

Being a responsible gambler is the safest decision we can make in gambling, as it ensures that things are done in accordance with our intentions. It also helps us to be more conscious of what we should do and what we shouldn't, as we are concerned about being irresponsible gamblers. We want to gamble in safety at the same time without leaving what should be done undone.

I agree with you, but to be honest it's easily written than done 
I feel that it's not just about being a safe gambler, but it's about gambling for the right reasons, we can do safe gambling but if it's not for the right reasons, I don't think that there will any difference.
Just to add gambling is for entertainment, but even as you entertain your self you should also be responsible and you have a full package right there.

[DYOR+BTC]

Gambling is one activity with 80 percent chances of gambling irresponsibly if time is not taken as its a game that increases hope or expectation with zero percent chances of success. Not that there are no responsible gamblers, but majority are always carried away by greed and expectation without knowing it is a fast killing tool. To come out victorious in gambling,  one must never forget it is stated that we should gamble with what we can lose, so staking should be done with caution and not based on what we stand to gain at last as that high level of expectation is the main cause of addiction. Honestly speaking,  safe gambling is the best gambling tactics we should learn as to reduce our risk of failure and to do so we most not gamble without laydown rules

This is common with those who dont understand gamblers with the understanding they have they just believe they dont deserve to lose in gambling. But when their is a clearer understanding in gambling you are already aware gambling is a game of lose , which you need to accept your loses and even try to keep to limit by gambling with the amount that cant be afford to lose. Having the real mindset is what makes people to do the right thing and to know how to go about gambling.

If you want to gamble in a safe place then I think you do not need to gamble because the possibility of losing money is more than gaining money through gambling, so it is better to gamble with the money you can afford to lose. As a result the risk of losing excess money is reduced, self-control over yourself is maintained and the possibility of addiction is reduced. You cannot win too much money through gambling the possibility of losing is high. When you know all the risks of gambling and continue to gamble for entertainment you will be able to maintain self-control over yourself and protect yourself from big losses.

Exactly. I agree with your opinion that what drives them to continue playing is their inability to accept the consequences of losing. This is tantamount to irresponsibility, and it's certainly a mentality that shouldn't exist in a gambler, as the risk of losing is far greater than winning.
Furthermore, there are other factors that trigger excessive gambling, such as the hope of winning. This is also linked to the irresponsible aspect of wanting to recoup past losses. The bottom line is that gambling isn't for losers.

No platform can guarantee that if you gamble on their platform, you will win more. In fact, there is no risk-free gambling. Gambling means risk. If you are careful or responsible, what will happen here is that you will be protected from big losses and will be careful and able to control yourself when placing big bets. No greater benefit can be obtained from gambling than this, no matter how responsible you are. If you gamble, you have to accept the risks of gambling and gamble. Therefore, gambling should not always be taken seriously.

You're right, there's nothing like safe gambling rather "responsible gambling" just like you said being safe in gambling is when you quit gambling.  As long as you're still into gambling then you're unlikely to be safe because you can change your mindset at anytime just like those gamblers who claims to gamble just for fun but at some point they changed their mindset to that of profit gamblers, you can only be advice to gamble responsibly and not being safe. me personally don't feel safe whenever I find myself around gambling rather I try my possible beat to be responsible.

Yeah, exactly. A mistake of today, is the greatest experience of tomorrow, but to only those who are willing and ready to change in order to recover from addiction. Some people get addicted to gambling as a result of ignorance, while some get addicted as the result of reckless decide, and at the same time some get addicted without even knowing unless they find themselves in that act.

But from what you said that there is not enough difference between the addicted and those trying to recover from addiction. I disagree with you. Because from my perspective, I think there is a big gap or differences between the addicted and those who are willing and ready to change, and trying their possible best to recover. Because even self awareness is great it, because it will encourage and motivate you to do the right thing. Is not everyone that is addicted to gambling that has the courage to admit it. So, for someone to admit that he is addicted to gambling and is willing to recover and mind his ways, isn't it a great step to take?

In this case, what they need most is support, motivation, encouragement and rehabilitation rather than judging them or mocking them.

Yes, of course, many people are addicted mostly because they are trying to recover the amount they lost before but the result is that it only makes things worse. And that's probably the most common reason why people get addicted. And after that there are those who do realize and then try to recover and there are those who continue to continue with gambling statements ignoring the risk of losing or losing.

[Alex077]

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

What that corrected me was that I stopped thinking about how to make money from gambling. I realized that I was fooling myself that it is not possible and that made me quit problem gambling.

Moonreaver, you are right there are thousand of blog and guidebook full of advice on the internet but till now I have not seen any problem gambler who comes back and says, After reading these tips from the book, I have quit gambling, lol

However Oshosondy's story is a real gem. From the day he stopped chasing profit and accepted that gambling is just entertainment, not a source of income everything changed for him. This change in thinking inside his head is actually the main factor in winning

I myself follow a few practical thing which are very helpful, I keep gambling money aside as a fun budget every month. No matter what happens I never ever touch the rent or food money. I try to set self exclusion or deposit limit on all the sites I play on, and I spend time at the gym, reading books or doing small farm work to overcome the addiction to gambling

You are right. Plenty of gamblers end in this condition of trying to recover from one loss to the other without realizing that they are falling into the trap of gambling addiction. Addiction in gambling is a real problem many gamblers have been facing for a long time especially since online gambling started, the number of gamblers who have lost control of themselves into gambling addiction has increased dramatically and till date we are still battling with it.

What is ongoing now is you cannot even tell the numbers because if you truly want to get the scientific numbers without working with just assumptions then you will also need to carry out a qualitative data analysis to be able to determine to a larger extent.

That's why it is crucial to do a research before using your money to gamble since losing is inevitable no matter what's the strategy or how knowledgeable the gambler is. Many of us think that it's easy to win and become rich if you're fortunate to hit a jackpot but it's not how it works. If you're not prepared to lose, don't gamble because chances are, as you've said, you'll might try to recover the losses that can lead to becoming addicted.

[shawonngp]

Exactly and absolutely correct, the human mind is designed in a manner it's naturally addicted to success and detests failure, just as you have said, I personally have experienced this alot of time in my own life, when ever I am doing something and making good profit from it, I become naturally motivated to wake up each day and return back to that thing.
But the moment that thing starts being unprofitable, laziness will set in, I will become bored and tired of going back to the same thing I once committed myself to life myself depended on it.

I have never seen a successful trader that decided to stop what he is doing just because he is too successful in his business.
There is no way I will quit gambling if I am used to making profits anytime I gambled. Even the most richest man in the world want to make more money and that is the way humans' minds behave. You will want to make more money from betting when you are getting positive results.

But even though you cannot make a consistent profit in gambling, it is never possible, because those who have been gambling for many years face losses, even though many experienced gamblers have not yet recovered their lost money. They are still trying to recover the losses. I agree with you, where people become successful, there is no question of giving up, but of trying to make more money. This is what people expect. Winning at gambling is uncertain, so finding successful people here is very rare.

Being prepared to lose and gambling with what you’re willing to lose gives the gambler more clarity on how to approach gambling. Due to house edge, losses are inevitable and whether we like it or not, an essential aspect of the game. The fact that gamblers tend to lose more kinda makes the game more interesting as it makes gamblers to try different tactics and strategies just to make sure that they win. If everyone was winning all the time, then how fun can the game be? Infact it wouldn’t be gambling anymore but a business.
