You can Afford something doesn't mean you are ready to lose it.

[Kristiyana]

There's another phrase, "gamble with what you can afford to lose" Although some gambler neglects it and ends up to regret their decisions at last. Like you said, there's a possibility that one can afford something but is not ready or willing to lose it because it can not be easily replaced, but some people can afford to lose. That's to say, every gambler should bet according to their pocket size, they should know their budgets and should never stake with an amount that will cause them emotional troubles after they lost the money.

Yeah, gambling with what we can afford to lose is also a different phrase just like as you said. You know most people always say this and also apply it when gambling, but when they experience lose in gamble at this point they start feeling kinda way. Meanwhile they claims that they're gambling with what they can afford to lose, when they're finding it very difficult to let go off those loses. anyone who is gambling with what he can afford to lose don't need to feel emotional probably when the outcome didn't work as they  expected because that's what you agreed on.

You want real fun while gambling? This is the way, no stress or worries.

Gamble responsible means your risk can't affect your mind and change your mood, or affect your family and jobs, gamble like no addicted gambler.

My neighbor is a gambling addict, he spends all day gambling, without working, without showering and socializing, in the end he fights with his family and the problem becomes big, fortunately his family immediately rehabilitates him, so the worst possibility does not happen.

stop gambling for a while then go to take a shower - work - or just communicate with other people is something that can not be done by gambling addicts, if you are in this phase then treat it immediately, gambling is not something we can do 24 hours in 7 days, you have to work, you have to eat, do not spend all the money you get in that endless gambling, be mature, be responsible.

Many gamblers experience negative feelings after losing even if they were willing to lose the money they put on the line. You can promise yourself and people around you anything before the gambling session, but no one can know for sure how to behave in a stressful situation. And losing is just such a stressful situation. Therefore, I am not at all surprised that from time to time I make mistakes after losing or during a gambling session.

We should gamble all because we have the capacity to afford gambling without any regrets, this may come with a winner not, but we are certainly sure that we are doing but from what we are capable of doing, this same does not confirms that we should now render every bet we are taking into a waste or ruin it out of our carelessness, at least an average gambler will prefer winning at any point he's found gambling, though Ithis may also be affected by many factors, but we should gamble base on our affordability on it, I don't see a gambler who will want to lose a bet willingly without taking every measure to ensure gambling for the best of his performance in other to win the bet.

Gamble responsible means your risk can't affect your mind and change your mood, or affect your family and jobs, gamble like no addicted gambler.

If you are not ready to lose it is better not to risk money to gamble. Many cases of gamblers like that end up venting their frustration on people around them or destroying objects around them. Including the equipment used for gambling. It is natural to feel upset and disappointed when you lose, but everything has its limits that can be controlled. Gambling with money that will not affect us if we lose is good management. It's just that many gamblers may not pay attention to this.

I mean there is no money which anyone can afford to lose. Even if any person loses money in gambling that is small amount of money according to his overall portfolio, still it will have an affect on his emotions and he will be sad even if the money lost isn't significant for him.

As an example, I know many of my friends gamblers who are quite rich but if they lose money they will not be in right frame of mind and often find them fighting with their family members out of frustration.

A gambler has the ability to lose the amount of money he gambles, meaning that if he unfortunately loses his money, it won't hurt him too much. Of course, one does not lose his money because he has the power to lose.  If luck is good, you can win something big from there. Every gambler enjoys winning very much but cannot accept losing. This is because many gamblers become emotional and greedy and spend all their money on gambling that has no chance of financial backup if they lose.  This is basically why it is said that you have the ability to lose that amount of money in gambling. Gambling is not a source of positive income it is only a place of entertainment but it cannot be played without the use of money so there is a chance of winning as much as there is a chance of losing money. Therefore, in order to keep yourself under control in all situations, you should not use too much money to gamble, but use as much as you can afford to lose.

I believe the main issue for players lies in the fact that sometimes the concept of "playing responsibly" translates to "don't play," which is where the lines between what is right and what is not get blurred. I think a very important factor leading bettors to make poor decisions is the promise of winning or being rewarded, as if someone were certain of losing, they wouldn’t play.

Gambling responsibly can not be over emphasize. to put it a clear picture, driving is important as it gets humans and goods from where they are to where they should be, but if you don't drive responsibly then you make driving very dangerous and many may even feel scare to want to go on the road because of the fact that some people have made driving dangerous.
Gambling has been giving a bad name because of the effects of those who don't Gamble responsibly.

Unfortunately, many people see the phrase "play responsibly" as just words, without truly understanding its significance.

There are two types of "I can afford this":

1. You can afford something but aren't prepared to lose it.
2. You can easily afford something and are willing to lose it because you can replace it without much effort.

In my own perspective I would say that the statement gamble responsibly surely mean one must gamble responsibly in a situation you would not regret later. Maybe wether you have over spend or not.

Your explanation about being prepared to loss and not being prepared to lose is under "gamble responsibly"  the statement signifies that you have the top most priority to chose to gamble responsibly or inresponsibly. This means you have the right to chose wether you are prepared or not.

Yes, it's true that their is a different between being able to afford something, and being able to lose and let go, which is what we always preach about as gamblers in every gambling communities, both offline and Online. Because for example, there are people who could be able to afford $100 within a certain timeframe, but that doesn't mean they are ready and willing to let go of that money at that very moment, due to reasons best known to them. Which is why in every gambling community, we always emphasize that people "Gamble with an amount of money they are ready and willing to afford to lose at that instant."

If something can be easily replaced, it likely means it is inexpensive, right?

Therefore, if your gambling activities are inexpensive, you might be able to handle any losses that come with them.

Yes there are a lot of people who can afford something but they can not afford to let it go and this kind people of are not suppose to gamble but when you can be able to afford something, you are expected to take out a percentage you can not feel it even when you lose it. In gamble you are not told or ask to use what you can afford ( general) rather you are expected to use what you can use out of that which you can afford. Moreover, the fact that you can gamble with what you can afford to let go doesn't mean you will be happy when you incur loss no, we are humans we will definitely feel somehow.

I saw myself where a friend lost a lot of gambling and slammed his mobile until it was damaged due to not being able to control himself and his emotions because he kept making deposits that eventually ran out.

Don't be like that person who damaged the objects around us due to his vent.
That is indeed a good management where betting without affecting finances will be safer not to get any problems.

[jstyler]

I think we often overlook the second point you made, the difference between "able to afford" and "able to let go". it's so easy to get caught up in the idea of "just a small loss" or "i can replace it", but the real key to responsible gambling is being detached from the financial loss and not letting it affect your mental state or daily life.

[AmaGold70]

Gambling is supposed to be done in a responsible way, not by chasing after losses. because that is what is really effecting most people in gambling, using only what you can afford to lose in gambling is always the best. because once you used the money that you can not afford to lose to gamble when it doesn't work out for you, it will be very hard for you to replace it, by then you might likely chase after losses which is very wrong.

Everything will really be that in accordance into someones preference on how they would really be dealing up with gambling. There are really actually those people who are really that wanting to have some fun and doesnt mind much about on the amount that they are losing and that awareness is really that something good or something which you can say that it is really that much more preferred on having this way rather than on making yourself that dealing up into something without even trying out to make yourself that having that moderation and control. Anyone could be ending up on having that kind of chances or situations on which they can control on what they've been spending. The only issue on here is that they've been that become too reactive and having that impulsiveness on which it will really be that resulting into bad decisions and possible addictions on which it will be causing up that even more trouble if you arent that good when it comes into that handling. So its better that you should really be knowing that kind of limitation at least.

2. You can easily afford something and are willing to lose it because you can replace it without much effort.

The second definition is actually what we meant when we say gamblers should gamble responsibly. I don't think I have seen anyone here in this forum lay emphasis on gamblers gambling with what they can afford, the emphasis has always been on gamblers gambling with what they can afford to lose. Any gambler who misinterpretes this to mean gambling with what they can afford is just finding it hard comprehending the information being passed here.

Gamblers who gamble with what they can afford, but not willing to lose are only setting themselves up. Gambling is a risky game, anyone who agrees to play this risky game should also be willing to accept the outcomes of the game. If the outcome of the game is going to hurt them badly, it is better that they either avoid gambling or put in place measures that will help them be in control of their emotions. So far, the only safe measure is gambling with what you can afford to lose.

There are some people who can't let go of any penny from their pocket which they must keep chasing after it, at this point even though they can let go it would keep bugging them because they aren't yet that prepared to let such out of their hands. What matters is that if that person(s) is that tolerance towards handling loses or allowing something to let go of them, that is why most gambler doesn't allow such and they thought such amount would always make significant impact on their lives if they don't let go what was in their possession.

[HONDACD125]

I don't think we can use the phrase "I can afford it" for something that we aren't ready to lose because if we are not ready to lose it, that means we can't afford to lose it. This phrase, when used in gambling, doesn't mean that it is the only thing you have, but it means that you won't be affected at all if you lose it. So if I say that I can afford to lose $10 a day in gambling, it means that my finances or my mental health or my thoughts won't be affected if I lose $10 a day, but if I keep thinking about the $10 after losing it, it means it wasn't supposed to be lost and I couldn't afford to lose it.

It's important for us to understand this thing. If we have some money, we might think that we can afford to lose 20% of it, so we can gamble with it, but we should think twice, can we let it go easily if we lose that 20%? Will we not think about it again or regret it after it's lost? If the answer is yes, then we should go ahead, but if the answer is no, then we are just deceiving ourselves and we can't truly afford to lose 20% of what we have.

[Findingnemo]

I can afford means one thing which is we are ready to lose it for the bet we are taking. Even people who are not affected financially by the loss can be triggered with small loss that leads into streak of loss so the word afford means nothing when there's no discipline in our bankroll management and it's not going to take too long to burn any amount of money in a casino. So beware of what we are getting into is pretty much important than the fun part.
