What is the best way to gamble?

[rachael9385]

Gradual in what sense?

Look, gambling in the long run always turns out with the player as a loser. The games wouldn't be offered and hosted by anyone of the case was otherwise.

There's no best way to perform such activity. There are some best practices though. What's gonna happen when the money runs out in your balance? Will you deposit more to recoup? Maybe better not. Maybe it's better to not risk going bankrupt.

So these best practices are always around limits and self control. But consider that in the long run the chances are you will be in the red anyway.

Losing in the long run is definite but it can be reduced if you practice risk management and it's also dependent on what you are gambling on. When it comes to casino gambling it's difficult to maintain profit in the long run compared to sports betting, you have more chances of making profit than losses when betting on sports but if you bet irresponsibly there's no difference between the results you'd get on casino gambling

I don't know much about poker but sports betting definitely requires strategy, this doesn't mean that it guarantees win but if that bettor knows what he's doing then losses can be minimized.. casino games on the other hand has no strategy whatsoever that can be used to make profit... chasing profits usually ends up with big losses, so instead of fixing your mind on making profit just entertain yourself

Exactly, sports betting also has an element of strategy, we can analyze the possibility of which team will dominate the game, it can be seen starting from match statistics, the condition of the players who will compete because there may be core players who are injured, it can be used as a reference for placing bets. Although there is no 100% guarantee of victory, at least we already have a reason why placing bets on the team, so when you lose, maybe luck is not on your side.

The most important thing is to have the right budget when you want to gamble, do not use money for living needs, place bets when you already have a budget for gambling, because it is actually difficult to maintain victory in the long run

Based on the title of the thread, I think the best way to gamble is to use what you can afford to lose because if you use what you can afford to lose there won't be so much regret and it also mean responsible gambling and while gambling with what you can afford to let go one should also have or set limit to which they can go. These two things work together because if any of these two is lack behind, it will definitely affect the way one gamble. Though sometimes I do use a huge amount of money to gamble ( risk), even though I know I might regret if it doesn't work as planned.

Gambling is actually meant to increase what you have staked with, like you aim to increase the worth of money you have. If gambling is about to increase your money, do we gamble gradually or we have to take the risk by increasing our stake since it is the purpose that we are gambling, which is to make profit.

If you gamble gradually, it won't guarantee your winning and if you increase your stake it won't either. If you increase your risk and win, you will know that you have really gambled and if you also lose as you increase your risk, you also know that you have gambled.

So is gambling really for a gradual process or is gradual way of gambling is for the weak minds in gambling. I have not seen a gradual gambler who doesn't take risk that has made really big win.

So what is the point? What do you say?

Honestly I think gambling is always going to be a risk game no matter how you approach it also whether you go in slowly or all in fast you’re still playing with luck. The gradual method feels safer because it helps you manage losses better but it rarely brings the big wins people dream about. On the other hand, going big might give you that one time hit, but it can also wipe you out. I don’t think gradual gamblers are weak, they’re just more cautious and In the end it depends on what kind of risk a person is mentally and financially ready to handle

There is no safe way to gambling as it involves risk taking it's either you are losing in gambling or you are gaining there are only two options there is no intermediate between the two so it's now left for us gambler's to be careful while gambling and always not be taken over by gambling addiction because you are going to be the one on the lossing side because there's nothing safe about gambling

I think that in the long term it may be difficult to retain discipline and not crack eventually. Even if you really try, you will sometimes have very bad days and some people even go online when they are drunk. At those times your discipline will be lower and your habit of gambling may push you to make mistakes. If you make such mistakes once, you are more likely to repeat them again. That is why this is dangerous. I don't think I know people who manage to stay disciplined forever. Either they quit fully or they don't want to admit the real amount of money that they lost in their life.

The best way to gambling is nothing but having budget and not gambling above your budget that's the best risk management for me but on the issues or the games that you get get losses in as a result of gambling it has nothing to do with either Casinos or sports betting. Best ways to control losses in both types of gambling is to limit the number of games you gamble on and to stop when you on a losing streak I believe if you can control your self then you have a better way of managing the risk.

We all know that gambling is a risk and we can't ignore such fact in the gambling,  making profit in any gambling you bet on is by luck not by a predictions,  neither you gamble in cricket game, poker game, casino and other numerous I forgot to mention, wining is not by your performance or consistent gambling, for me it's by chance, let us try to understand the fact that gambling is all about understanding and risk, someone may gamble five times in the week and lose all and someone else who have no much knowledge on gambling will gamble and lose everything, so with such theory I believe that gambling is all about risk

[l3pox]

It is no wonder that we find gamblers breaking their own limits - they are under so much pressure and the illusion of a big win always makes them ruin their plans. Gambling is strange sometimes - it can turn anyone who was previously disciplined with their approach into a bad gambler.

That's when I say you lose focus and things start to go wrong. In fact, that's happened to me and you feel terrible Of course, losing money will never be pleasant, much less money that you've already committed to something else. So, that's what really hurts. That's why I could say that when we're looking for control, it must be absolute in accordance with discipline.

Losing money comes with a terrible feeling and not everyone can be disciplined enough to resist the urge of trying to chase their losses. For most people that started gambling with little amounts they can lose only to end up chasing losses and losing thousand of dollars later on, this is why it's important to maintain discipline no matter what because it's the only thing that can make you avoid a lot of people problems that comes with gambling

The urge to chase losses is an addiction and most gamblers chase it because they lose excessive amounts of money while gambling. There are some examples where a few gamblers exchange their losses for entertainment and enjoy it but the majority of gamblers are involved in gambling for profit and they are the ones who are the losers who use the gambling industry differently and tarnish its reputation. They lose because of their own bad strategy and blame it on luck but discipline and limited allocation of money prevent those gamblers from losing money to a great extent.

this is true
you have to always watch your behavior so you don't fall for the trap of revenge trading
this is a really bad thing that ends up hitting most of the gamblers sooner or later but the good news is that its not so hard to avoid it

Both of you maybe right but not completely, it is very possible to gamble for a very long time and be safe, it all depends on the person involved or playing the game, one golden rule to ensure safe gambling practice is to have something else doing, something tangible that is bringing in good money to ensure that when one gambles, their main purpose is simply to have fun and not to chase after money.

So lets not say that motive or reason behind our gambling activities tells alot about whether gambling will be safe on us or dangerous, someone who gambles occasionally and for the sole purpose of simply having fun should be good, doesn't matter how long they have been gambling.

That is a very bad trap. You can risk a lot if you go for revenge not only in gambling but in every other field in life as revenge heavily clouds one judgement and when the judgment is clouded usually not good decisions come with it. I think that people should evaluate each component before making a decision, especially not take one in the heat of a lost session in gambling. Personally the bankroll management together with the self exclusion are two of the most great weapons that one have in order to not fall prey of really bad decisions that can make your life go completely south from one moment to another.

In gambling it is very important not to chase past losses. You need to accept what has already happened, and leave it in the past. If you keep chasing after it, and trying to win it back nothing good will come of it. The best way to gamble is to set a comfortable bet amount for yourself an amount, that will not feel too big for you, and stick to it no matter what. If you want to aim for a big win try going for high odds, but never increase your bet amount. This way a loss will not affect you much because it is an amount you can afford to lose, and if you get. lucky and hit big odds you will earn a nice win from a small bet.

It's actually true that a gambler must have a budget for gamble, but sometimes it's not just about having budget for gambling, you can also gamble if you have spare money you that you can afford to lose.  The reason why I said it's not just about having budget is because sometimes we earn more money from what we do in the real world. And whenever you earn little you reduce the amount you gamble with.

exactly
we have always to keep alert about our emotions and try to bring awareness on how we are feeling and if we are gambling or taking this trade because it is indeed a good opportunity or if it comes from a different emotional root, because if you are doing it for anger or revenge these things usually cloud our judgement making us miss or make huge mistakes

it's normal to miss some of the decisions but it's all better if you are prepared for it

[DaNNy001]

The best strategies to gamble is to have a statistics, if you have a statistics in the gambling you will make it in the gambling,the most important is the map out amount that you will be using to bet in the gambling, so what I'm trying to say that every one should have a budget on gambling, because without having a budget you will end up losing, so gambling is necessary to lose and we need to understand that, secondly the lost we experience in the gambling is higher than the profit we make in the gambling.

Sometimes statistics don't really Make your predictions accurate, gamble is about luck and timing, this doesn't mean that it's a waste of time to use stats but I'm trying to say that it shouldn't give you too much confidence in your strategies... Even with the use of stats I still make sure that my stakes are moderate because I know that anything can happen at the end of the day..risk management is more important

Whatever the gambling method, with whatever strategy it is when we gamble it will be fine, the chances of winning and losing are a definite element in gambling, but talking about risk and mental health is our responsibility to ourselves, therefore it is very important to gamble responsibly on a regular basis so that we are not consumed by emotions that cause the loss of money that we are not ready to lose in gambling.

Reading statistics or analyzing in any way that you think is a stage that must be done is a step to get closer to victory, but it is not a guarantee that someone will get victory because there are unexpected factors (luck) that come from anywhere, but every effort to get closer to getting victory is the best way as a gambler so as not to depend on uncertain luck.

[giammangiato]

No guarantees in gambling, simple luck and for what it's worth, game analysis!
Some games can help you with the probability of winning but you have to focus a lot on the plays made before yours (so count them one by one)
considering the wins and losses of those who played before you (playing online has this advantage)
point in favor: you have time to concentrate and evaluate the plays before yours
point against: you have no guarantees and it requires a concentration equal to a job (so it is no longer a distraction or a way to have fun)
points incognito: you have no certainty of winning, you simply increase the probability of guessing.

[Etranger]

it's that old thing
if you don't play you have no way to win
but when it comes to lotteries and slots it's probably better to avoid it after all
or to play a little bit and stop when you win, simple as that

the poison comes when peopl keep on playing unable to stop, then they end up spending all that they earned

This applies not only to slots and lotteries, but to casino games in general. It’s just that slots are often seen as some kind of magical way to hit an insanely high multiplier — something that's simply not possible in crash games, for example. And it’s this possibility that draws so many people to play them, even though the games themselves are repetitive and quite boring. But they do have an advantage over, say, sports betting — even though the latter is a much more engaging activity on its own, with dynamics, progression, and even elements of storytelling. Slots, on the other hand, are just spinning pictures.

this is why it's important to maintain discipline no matter what because it's the only thing that can make you avoid a lot of people problems that comes with gambling

That's the key for me there's no other way Some people talk about self-control and all that, but having discipline automatically gives you responsibility and control, For me, control should always be focused on money management If there's no control, then we're not doing anything Because for me the most important resource in a casino is money.

I would say that self-control in gambling starts not even with money management, but with time management — specifically, how much time a person spends on gambling and whether they know when it's okay to play and when it’s better to stop and not start a new game. And this is exactly where the biggest issues with control arise. A person might be playing with small amounts they can afford to lose, but still spend too much time gambling — and that’s what leads to addiction and obsession.
