Greediness kills opportunity to win!

[madnessteat]

Gambling addiction is linked to greed and it's all psychological..and like you said when they start to avoid dealing with their problems it becomes an issue..some people turn to Gambling when they are stressed or mentally depressed, they try to use it as an escape from their situation but the problem only gets worse instead of getting better..when it becomes a dependency issue it gets worse.

Well said.
Rather, I would say in this case that gambling addiction does not occur until a gambler exceeds the extreme level of greed. And at the same time, I will also say that someone who is not greedy will never be addicted.

If we imagine a little, then such a situation can be seen in almost everyone that many times we cannot stop our wager due to greed. This happened to me yesterday too. I had set a certain amount for wagering but when I saw that I was not winning, I spent double the amount even though the amount was very small. But this was only due to losing control over my own greed. And this is why I think that if you don't want to become addicted to gambling, you first have to control your greed.

To control greed in gambling even with a lot of experience is a difficult task. Sometimes even deposit limits and win limits that I set before the start of a gambling session do not help. At some point greed is so strong that it seems that the mind for some time is turned off and realize this only when you see that the deposit is completely exhausted. I'm trying to fight greed throughout the entire time of gambling and to be honest to a complete victory over greed is apparently very far away.

Yes, controlling greed is a very difficult thing, and greed is more or less present in everyone, but I think there is another thing before greed, which is your intention, what you want and why you gambling, and the kind of work you do, you will get the results according to it. Keep your intention right, gamble only for fun, then you will have more power to control your greed. Although controlling greed is difficult, it is never impossible, you just need willpower.

frequent gambling doesn't always equate to addiction or getting closer to addiction. It's just that you have more free time where you can enjoy gambling. Of course, with the control over your bankroll and any other gambling related expenses. I don't see any problem with treating gambling as a hobby. The only problem I see is when you start spending more money outside of what you consider you can handle to lose. That, for me, is a sign of arising addiction.

Yes, I agree with you about the emerging addiction, when you start to ignore discipline and spend more than planned. I fell into exactly this trap many years ago. And why? No, not only because I spent more, but because I was not at all aware of myself and my actions. In addition, under the influence of alcohol, I went to such establishments at that time, and this was not the best option. I did not want to leave the casino. Only concentration on the game and excitement. At such moments I lost the most money.

Unfortunately, each of us can remember a moment when we did something that we later felt ashamed of for our gambling behavior, usually it is excessive greed. When we simply cannot stop, we play more and more, although the winnings have already exceeded all our wildest expectations, but we want more and more.
And when I read the advice of guys who advise writing down a number on a piece of paper after which we will stop gambling, then this idea no longer seems so to me.

[rachael9385]

Greed often creeps in when we still have a balance when we get a losing streak. We try to get back the money we lost before and chase the win, but this method is never really recommended because in the end we will only lose more. It is not uncommon for gamblers to lose a lot of money because of greed, but greed is very difficult to control in gambling.

You're right, when we have money we feel that things can be easier for us and we play as if our balance will never run out A common and almost natural mistake is greed, which is why it is so important as humans to have control over this type of feelings , I control it with my strategy of only losing what I am willing to lose.

Addicted gamblers experience this a lot, if they have a small amount of money they utilize it but when they receive a large sum of money the only thing that comes to their mind is how they can multiply the money to probably solve some financial problems they have. But the same thing keeps on happening because they gamble wrecklessly not thinking about what would happen if they lose it all.

Greed is one thing that makes gambler's to lose the more with regrets as greed will blind fold the eyes of many gambler's and make the wrong decision about gambling there are gamblers who is so blind folded by the greed of winning money that most times they don't even sit down to evaluate the consequences of their actions as the more they play the more they expose themselves to the traps of gambling.



Greed is one thing that we as gamblers really need to check mate and put under control if we are to make headways going forward because a greedy mindset doesn't evaluate the consequences of their actions but is blindfolded with what he tends to get at the end of the day

They don't care as what they wanted is just  to push and keep gaming, it's greeds that lead them to think that luck will not stop and will let them win, they don't have any limitation till they lose back again and start adding money to their bankroll, without control and discipline greed will continue to keep you inside gambling unlike with those who can limit their gambling activities they can wisely quit when they already got something decent.

No, I was ashamed of myself not because of greed. I didn't care. I brought a lot of suffering to my loved ones, who believed in me and hoped that I would never act in a way that would turn into a big disaster for everyone. Well, I didn't think about it then. I was young and very stupid. I should have learned from the mistakes of others, but I didn't even want to think about it. Wild and frivolous thoughts swarmed in my head. It never came to such deep reflections. It only came with the years, when you become not only older, but also wiser.

It is much better to simply keep in mind those economic goals that we are trying to achieve in betting or gambling. They will serve as that very finish line that will stop us and we will be able to stop gambling.
We are all adults. I think it is very strange to write down some numbers on a piece of paper, because you need to have complete self-control over yourself and only then you can achieve success in gambling or betting, and I am sure that the money management that we keep inside ourselves is enough to do without third-party methods that will help you stop in a gambling online session and go do other things.

[LUCKMCFLY]

What if you had a family you loved and at the same time had a huge budget with which you are free to do whatever you want? That means gambling with large sums of money wouldn't affect your family's budget. Would you really do that? As I understand from your reply that you'd be embarrassed to spend money gambling when a family member might need it. But would you accept gambling so intensively that it near to addictive behavior if you had enough money? This is an important question because when we say that family obligations prevent us from gambling excessively, this means, firstly, that those without a family are more likely to become addicted, which I don't believe is true by all means. Secondly, for you, family obligations are primarily financial, forgetting that the time spent gambling can be more valuable than money to your family members who want and need to spend time with you.

These are not personal questions; I'm discussing ideas with you from several perspectives. I hope you accept some criticism in the context, and rest assured that it's nothing personal, and I greatly respect your ideas.

Of course, of course I accept those questions For me it's simple: if I had a really big budget, I would play normally under the same conditions, without going overboard, The reason is simple if I play too hard, I'll lose a lot of money, and that would hurt me a lot, The money could be used for other purposes , such as investment, and in that case, I'd like to help people find work or something like that.

i will agree with you on this because i have experienced it before. although i am not an addicted gambler but sometime ago, when i have little amount on my gambling app i stake less  to avoid losing the little i have as bankroll, but when i have a lot of fund in my gambling app i gamble or stake high, hoping to double my amount but i even lose faster than expected even though i may stake high amount with 2-3odd. i have to follow up the old strategy which is to stake less even if the bankroll is high.

It is not possible to say whether gambling or bet will ever make economically self -sufficient. However, it is possible to say that most of the time the gamblers weaken economically. If a real younger then a lot can be possible by him. For example, he will never be able to come back even after losing money, and he will do the same again later. However, a big win may be. But greed will never handle and because of greed, some have lost everything again. Even if a number is written, I do not think that greed will be able to cope with greed.

However, we should take care of the amount of money we have to deal with with the amount of money or betting on our greed. Then our family and we can be economically self -sufficient. So no one should be addicted to gambling or betting.

Sorry for what happened to you. Truly, gambling can become a disaster in our lives if we do not control it properly. I have been in the same position as you, and I never thought I would regret it all in the end. At first, it was fun because you were winning, and it's a strategy that most online casinos use. Then, as you keep on playing, it becomes harder and harder to win. It came to a point where I would lose a big chunk of my salary, and it became stressful. The good part is I learned from my mistakes, and now I am better at handling my budget and for my family's necessities. All we can do is move on, even though the nightmares will still come.

We all have daily profit targets when gambling. Say you're playing normally with realistic bets, aiming for $200 that day. You actually hit your goal... but then greed kicks in. Instead of walking away, you keep playing and end up losing everything. Sound familiar? How many times has this happened to you? And more importantly - did you finally learn your lesson?

This is nothing new bro, greed is one major thing that is like a silent killer of opportunities, because it's not just tied only to gambling, in trading and even in our daily lives, greediness has destroyed so many lives, so that's makes me come to the conclusion that before the fall  or failings of any man sets in, greed will have likely sets in before then, and it's mostly the brain behind the stupid and reckless decisions taken, so what am trying to say is that, I know that everyone has their own level of greed, but having it excess  is not a good thing, because in gambling and even in trading, a winning position can easily turn to a losing position if you don't walk away early, when you are still in a winning position.

I think that I have gotten a taste of it countless times when trading, where I will be in a winning position, instead of me to walk away with my profit, I will be wanting more, and in the process of wanting more, I will finally close the position on a few losses when it's now obvious that the market has turned, so greed is never a good thing.

Good enough that you only made mentioned of addicted gamblers because they are the ones that are found guilty of such actions, that not just being the case they are always manipulated in different circumstances such the one you ha mentioned, when they have they opportunity to win they get over confidence and loss more, when they lose on a marathon they fight and chase losses and even get to the extend of borrowing to gamble until they become overly exhausted and overwhelmed, it is important as gamblers to completely become tin total controls of any the diverse states we find ourselves, whether we have large amounts of money, when we are in winning or in losing.

[dwyane36]

i will agree with you on this because i have experienced it before. although i am not an addicted gambler but sometime ago, when i have little amount on my gambling app i stake less  to avoid losing the little i have as bankroll, but when i have a lot of fund in my gambling app i gamble or stake high, hoping to double my amount but i even lose faster than expected even though i may stake high amount with 2-3odd. i have to follow up the old strategy which is to stake less even if the bankroll is high.

If you have a large bankroll, it's normal that you want to place bigger bets. The problem is that many people get too carried away with it and stop controlling the bet size relative to the bankroll size. I think that for relatively safe gambling, the bet size should be 100 or even 200 times smaller than the deposit.

The problem is that many people get too carried away with it and stop controlling the bet size relative to the bankroll size. I think that for relatively safe gambling, the bet size should be 100 or even 200 times smaller than the deposit.

Pretty much a conservative strategy, specifically if you literally bet a 0,01% of your deposit at the time. Just to put it in perspective if someone does a deposit of one hundred dollars, that would mean that gambler is only supposed to bet 1$ at the time and in the worst case scenario (having as much bad luck as they can get), he would only have one hundred bets before running out of money...
It is a good strategy if what you are looking for is to extend the time of fun within the casino, but anyone with such tight management of bankroll is never supposed to be on the expectation of winning important amounts of money and walk out the casino with a good quantity. Unless they completely ignore such recommendation and move onto betting up to 20% of their deposit or even more in a single time.

In the end, it depends on how greedy or seeking for pure fun we are.

[Crypto Library]

To control greed in gambling even with a lot of experience is a difficult task. Sometimes even deposit limits and win limits that I set before the start of a gambling session do not help. At some point greed is so strong that it seems that the mind for some time is turned off and realize this only when you see that the deposit is completely exhausted. I'm trying to fight greed throughout the entire time of gambling and to be honest to a complete victory over greed is apparently very far away.

You are also right that when a person have the extreme level of Greed and gambling addiction then in that cases it might also couldn't help even if said deposit limit and as well the win limits.  However, what I want to emphasize here is that it is not enough to just set a limit, we have to carry out activities according to this limit, otherwise there is no point in having this type of strategy.

And if you feel that you are not being controlled or enforced in any way, then I will tell you that you have an extreme level of addiction. You will need rehabilitation, so you should seek counseling with a professional.

I agree with you, just setting limits is not enough, you have to completely confine yourself within these limits, you set a limit and then break it immediately "if you lose your money" then what was the need for limits? If you cannot follow it properly.
But it is true that the only reason why most gamblers break their limits is greed and emotion, greed and emotion do not allow a gambler to stop at the right time, due to greed a gambler will always behave addictively. So first of all, you have to change your mindset, a gambler should always gamble with a positive mindset of accepting losses. In any case, you have to keep your attitude good, be satisfied with little and stop at the right time.

yes well that is the basis, you can't bet so much above your availability, for me it is equally important to give yourself a weekly budget, or even a daily one in cases where you bet too much, you have to be sure not to lose all your money

[rachael9385]

When gambling is practiced as a way to pass the  free time, it requires a stable mood and a good feeling. Someone who gambles as a hobby will never consider gambling when they are in a bad mood.

That logic works for me, although it can be misinterpreted by many, because when we say hobby for many it means that it should be done periodically or very frequently and a whole path to addiction arises , however if we call it in another way it may not cause many negative feelings , I know what you mean and that is what I like, I would like to have it as a hobby but for me in this situation I could not have a hobby like that, but at some point I will do it when I am stronger financially.

frequent gambling doesn't always equate to addiction or getting closer to addiction. It's just that you have more free time where you can enjoy gambling. Of course, with the control over your bankroll and any other gambling related expenses. I don't see any problem with treating gambling as a hobby. The only problem I see is when you start spending more money outside of what you consider you can handle to lose. That, for me, is a sign of arising addiction.

You are absolutely right, gambling more often doesn't actually mean that you are addicted. When makes a gambler addicted is how he handles his wins or losses, this also includes the amount being used up for gambling. There are People that gamble regularly but what they lose isn't really a significant amount. How frequently you gamble doesn't matter, what does is how you are able to gamble responsibly
