Do this when you find yourself gambling irresponsibly

[tusandii]

I think the advice is already in other topics (if I'm not mistaken) I've read it, yes, even though with a different title, but the main problem remains the same, gambling is where you have to be able to control yourself, I mean you have to force yourself and think clearly as you treat gambling, because if you are not forced, you will not be able to control it. Self-control is in a person if the person is stubborn and cannot accept any advice then he can become a gambling addict.

[Free Market Capitalist]

Another asshole thread that pretends to pontificate on what to do to avoid problems with gambling that is based on the same asshole assumption as all the others of the same style, namely: that you can make plans now and when you are gambling you will follow through.

That's right, and self-control is not something you're going to write down on a piece of paper and then follow it to the letter when you're in the casino gambling.

A: set a limits; this simply means that you should budget a certain amount of funds for gambling. For instance, if you intend to gamble weekly, daily or monthly, set a limit of how much you want to gamble with and make sure you do not exceed that limit. That's why most casino games has the feature of setting limits.

If someone can maintain this point, they can maintain the rest automatically. Setting a limit and knowing your own limit is important. If my monthly salary is $1,000 and I know I have expenses that will need $800, then I know that I should not spend more than $100 dollars on gambling. But if I consider gambling $200, then I won't have any savings at all.

I may not face any trouble for that, but with no savings, I may be in trouble in the future. So, knowing your own limit is important, and make sure you do not exceed the limit. If you do it once, there is a chance you will do it again.

I think I've already seen a thread with a similar theme here. All these rules are well known, but abstract knowledge and practical application are two different things. Therefore, the vast majority of gamblers succumb to emotions and lose critical amounts for themselves.
And there is an explanation for this. In most cases, a gambler does not have the will, discipline, and can hardly limit himself, because otherwise he would not be a gambling person. It's not bad or good, it's just the reality.

This is what we do really need on which setting out those self limits on which not only on gambling but in everything we do. We do know that everything which is really that excessive is really that bad and if you are really that doing gambling and having no limits in terms of spending up money then it will really be that bringing out that huge blow into your finances and this is something that we must avoid at all cost. Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself responsible and this is really just the common issue on which on the time that you do make out such engagement you do really still ending up on being impulsive and spending up more because of having those thoughts and minding about making money with gambling on which this is a wrong move. You will really be needing up to consider out on what are the consequences whenever you do decide on taking up such step. Gamble responsibly then you wont really be having problems because if you are mindful about into the actions that you are making specially when you do gamble and dont have any issues when it comes to money spending then it should be just that fine. Everything will really be that basing in moderation and control on which this will really be that crucial anytime because this is where it will be that avoiding you into those potential headache.

[Kelward]

I totally agree with the points that are mentioned in the OP about how to maintain responsible gambling habit, if a gambler keeps to them he won't be addicted. In summary they are budge, discipline, small amounts for gambling and that gambling is not a get rich quick scheme. What I can add to the list is that we shouldn't chase loses or being overconfident to continue gambling when we're winning. The most important factors that combines the other facts are budget and discipline, if a gambler has a budget for gambling and the amount is what he can afford to loose, then he is disciplined not to exceed it, that is responsible gambling.

[robelneo]

C: Remove the mindset that gambling will make you rich overnight; of course many people have made huge fortune from gambling but do you know how much these people spent to win such huge profit? Bet with what you can afford to lose and also bet according to your capacity.

This should be number one if you don't have a can-get-rich mindset on gambling. You can accept the results and can properly implement all the guides on how to become safe in gambling.
Having a mindset that wants to win for huge profit is a big trap; it is very seldom to happen where a gambler get rich overnight, but gamblers easily believe when see people winning huge amount of money, not checking the losses the winner has incurred.

[KiaKia]

There are a lot of people who do not gamble responsibly, some of them don't intend to do that but they just get lost in the process. Some try to control themselves but still finds themselves using funds that are meant for important things like school fees, house rent and so on.
If you are one of these people, here is a way that can help you be in control

Addicted gamblers often find this advice challenging to follow because they all share a common desire: to win life-changing amounts of money. Unfortunately, gambling is one of the most difficult ways to achieve that goal; luck is not on everyone’s side, and I’m not sure why people struggle to understand this.

A wise gambler knows that chasing unrealistic life goals through gambling is futile. Instead, they should focus on enjoying gambling as a leisure activity, without forming a deep attachment to it. The odds are generally stacked against gamblers, and there’s no way to outsmart your favorite casinos, luck is all that remains.

If your goal is to make life-changing money through gambling, there's a high likelihood that it won't happen. Casinos hold the best odds, leaving you with only a 1% chance of achieving that dream. It's essential to learn the importance of responsible gambling.

[michellee]

@OP describe the things that we must always follow to avoid the problem that can occurs from gambling. We must have limitation when playing gambling so we don't waste too much money in gambling. We can also need to know how much we want to gamble so we don't use too big money.

We can not waste our money just to playing gambling and hope to win big because that will not easy to win the money. Be disciplined is another thing that we must have to avoid playing gambling longer than usual. We must control ourselves in gambling because we will face many temptations from gambling. If we can not control ourselves, we will get many problems that we may difficult to solve it.

We must responsible with our gambling activity so we can use gambling with right. We don't want to see ourselves getting deeper in gambling.

[Cantsay]

The overall or most important advice any gambler should keep at the back of their mind is to “always be disciplined” if you’re not disciplined enough to control yourself then any other advised that will be given to you will only just be a waste.

If you’re the disciplined type then everything will be easy for you to handle but if you’re the type that is struggling then the first thing I’ll advice for any gambler is for them to try as much as possible to discipline themselves because if they just go blindly into gambling you’ll most likely fall among those that gamble irresponsibly and get ruined.

[Churchillvv]

Just remember that gambling is not a gateway to success, if you ever thought of that before going to gambling that you need to pause and have a rethink before going back to gambling because that only can ignite all type of indiscipline and reckless gambling hence addiction is inevitable at this point.

Always remind to examine yourself every now and then to see if you're lossing it to gambling or you're still in a good position, lots of people do not realise that have lost in untill it becomes obvious so self examination is very important.

[danherbias07]

Letter C is very important. Let's be real, we cannot be rich through gambling and might as well believe that because it's a fact.

Letter D on the other hand has a simple solution. If there's money that is meant for important things like bills, mortgage, and other necessities, use them as fast as you can or pay the bills earlier so that you won't be able to spend them.
That's what I do now so that I won't be spending the money that is meant for them. I pay the electric and water bill before the due date comes, I buy a sack of rice so that I won't have any problem for 2 weeks or sometimes 3, I buy groceries too so that I will have something to feed my children if I cannot cook sometimes.
These are things that we can do before we gamble and better do them first because that's our responsibilities.

[Ararbermas]

Gambling often leads to people losing large amounts of money, even when they set a limit, and it's due to several psychological and emotional factors. And mostly as well is being overconfidence that can lead them to ignore their own limits and gamble recklessly reason after all they still ended up losing a huge amount of money .

[Hewlet]

it is very important that you never allow yourself get to the point where you have to start trying to stop yourself from gambling in an irresponsible way, believe this and take it for free that it is not as simple as we say it if you get addicted and you are trying to come out of it or even reduce on your gambling habit. ask those that have been there or that are probably there and they will tell you that if it was that easy, they would have been clean long time go.

it is easier and much better that from the start, you don't get yourself addicted or gambling in an irresponsible way hoping that you can all of a sudden stop that lifestyle when things have already gone out of hands. set a goal from start and don't make gambling a lifestyle. it is best that you only gamble when you want to and not make it what you do any moment you are free. if gambling is your next stop at any time you are a bit relaxed and free, just know that certainly, you will get addicted.

First of all you should know that gambling irresponsibly is not an incident that is something that just happened rather it is developed, created, and it is a choice. If you don't want to gamble irresponsibly you won't, provided you are determined so people who gamble irresponsibly, to me It is choice they made because there's nothing that will make me gamble irresponsibly. Having a mindset that gambling can make one rich can not make one to gamble irresponsibly, I have the mindset that I will make huge money one day in gambling but I can't go beyond what I'm expected to go so all these are things people decide to do and not to..., discipline is the key to everything and the reason I can't gamble irresponsibly is because I'm disciplined, I know what I want in gambling though getting it maybe hard but I can't stress myself or force myself to get it because it will result to regretion.

[Yucky]

First thing, when you see that you are slipping into addictive gambling, you have to tell yourself the truth. You know, when some people are in self-deceit, "Oh, I'm not getting addicted, I know what I'm doing, you will not move forward to look for a solution. So, you have to tell yourself the truth, that you are slipping, you are spending more money on gambling, you are spending more time than usual. Then when you recognize the fact that there is an issue, you take a break. just take a break. Don't ask what game is holding this weekend, don't check the casino update, don't check if there are an bonus, just take a break.

And it's wise to talk to a friend, to me having one-on-one conversation with friends always helps when I'm going through a losing streak or something. It's like an emotional therapy, you don't even realize how much relief you get from those conversations. all this reduce your budget, discipline yourself, it won't work, if you are not in the right frame of mind, you will still see yourself doing things anyhow, but when you are calm after you talk to a friend or a therapist, you will be able to gather your thoughts together and be able to take decisions in a better state of mind.

Something I've noticed when I'm around people who are addicted to gambling is that when they start to get involved in gambling, they do it for two reasons:

1 - To forget about the problems they have in life

2 - To make money

In both cases, gambling leads to addiction and destruction. That's why I always advise people to never get involved in gambling when they have financial problems, family problems or love problems.

Well, every man or woman is going to have more challenges and problems when it comes to financial, family and love relationships. It is just the load we as humans get to carry, but it is how we carry these baggage of problems and manage it or find solutions, that makes us more successful than the rest who don't.

It is important that gamblers be conscious of the time always. Be it when gambling online or offline, a strict adherence to the time or time frame set for oneself would help such a gambler maintain a tight budget, avoid chasing losses, avoid the pitfalls of emotions that could suck one in deeper and make one be more responsible while resolving other personal or family problems.

If you already deeply engage in gambling most users or players cant stop themselves on spending even the money intended for usage like rent food or important bills will be used on this. Even we told them not to use these money allocation, their not listening and still going on for it. Its a great advise, but the list are commo suggestion. Maybe add go to psychologist and evaluate his personal stat on this topic and do all the suggestion the professional would suggest.

[Zoomic]

If only gamblers can form the habit to regularly evaluate or review all their gambling activities maybe weekly or monthly and see how gambling impacted their lives either negatively or positively during that period.  This would help them adjust some  certain gambling habits in them so they can become better gamblers. But then, who has the time to reflect on their past actions?

No advice we give here can change an irresponsible gambler. Being responsible is a decision the gambler makes by himself, and most times this decision only comes after they have encountered a bitter experience with gambling. Not all irresponsible gamblers are usually unlucky all the time, so they wouldn't try to be more responsible when they are seeing some cool cash from their irresponsible gambling lifestyle, only a bitter experience can do the magic.
