Taking risks responsibly.

[Callido]

Right, even doing government have proof that there is much more number of good gamblers or people who can go for entertainment without getting addicted yet they would rather go for those addicts data's to judge the entire population of gamblers just to milk them with sanctions and the impose possible tax on those who at the end of the day even with those tax still wins. This part of reality we can not beat it, we just have to deal with it.

Who made you believe there are highest number of responsible gamblers over the ones addicted. Gambling platforms are getting rich because of addicted gamblers, if it was only those for entertainment with the number of casinos and betting platform they will be making way less than they do. Not all addicts are able to bear the consequences of addiction, i blame those who go ahead to end their lives because of repercussions of their gambling behaviour, addiction can be cured.

Seems you don't understand that gamblers who are responsible are more than addicted gamblers and not irresponsible gamblers, you can be an irresponsible gambler yet not an addict, spot the difference. So like I said the government only focus on the addicts so they can use that to tangle every gambler into it and tax is possible with all that. I agree with you that addicts can be cured but that doesn't mean that addicts all ruin because they are addicts, things who different in different part of the world and I believe their is a stereotype where you come from for gamblers that's why it seems that an addict is all ruined.

Responsible risk is applying the rules of gambling to what you can afford to lose. been calculative in gambling, been careful with their stake. Because if there's no risk in gambling, a lot of people won't make big wins, but those that take this risk sometimes make a lot of calculations. There are people who are ready to put in all the money in their wallet or even borrow to make a bet on a game; some call it a sure odd. This is not a responsible risk.

There is no sure bet in gambling if there was a lot of casinos won't be running smoothly today they would have gone bankrupt by now because of how people would have out won them all, gambling is a risky business taking a good risk still involves using the amount that will not affect your financial life when you lose. Any other risk that is aside what a gambler can afford to lose is not a good risk.

Yes, I said it already in another thread that even the best team that is known to have been playing very well can still lose, using women like me as example; women can be best players from beginning but for some hormonal imbalance they can loss at the end, I know this because I'm a nurse and I know how hormonal malfunction can affect women activities and that is a reason why  I don't also agree with the word sure odd, only using it for reference purposes.

In gambling, the risk involved is loss of funds to games and others factors which also includes possibility of chasing losses which leads to addiction is a major risk to put into consideration and draw your plans so that you do not have any issues with your gambling lifestyle and this is what many gamblers fail to look into and this aspect of one's duty is seriously lacking little wonder you see addicted gamblers everywhere making reckless mistakes.

Of course the risk attached to gambling is loss, the chasing of loss is a habit that people cultivate having in mind that as they become consistent in gambling they will eventually end up winning big but it becomes a mind deceit at the end, does loss chasers even think about addiction, although I understand what you are trying to say but I now understand better that some gambler don't play safe when they want it big, they don't care about anything at the point of chasing shadows, something I wonder if some don't know about loss, I think addicted gamblers are the causes of their own shit, I understand that it is not easy to stay safe while gambling people are doing it so I believe that it just about being disciplined that's all.

In fact, this mentality of recovering losses leads a gambler to addiction even without his knowledge, he may think that the next round will bring him a big win.
And in the hope of this big win, he keeps losing round after round, and in this way his losses become huge, which ultimately becomes a very big loss and pushes them towards addiction.
I agree that most addicted gamblers have lost a huge amount of money in gambling due to their own wrong decisions and have become addicted, if they could have accepted defeat and stopped themselves at the right time, they would not have suffered this loss.
But their emotions do not let them stop, and this is the biggest problem for a gambler. So if you cannot be realistic here, it is difficult to stop at the right time.
You must decide through reality, losses cannot be recovered from gambling, you must accept this reality and only conduct gambling for entertainment purposes in a limited scope, then I think it will definitely be possible to escape from this terrible addiction.

You've figured out how, but you haven't figured out why the solution doesn't work. To say "give up and quit" would imply that the gambler was playing to win money. They're not. Not until the first few defeats anyway

Loss-chasing is not about recovery. It's about not having to deal emotionally with having already lost. All subsequent bets have consequently been pushes. As long as you're still playing you haven't "really" lost yet. Schrödinger's bankroll. When you hit the stop mechanism, the loss is real, is complete and must be incorporated into how you view yourself, your self-image

That is why gamble for entertainment only is such empty advice. Entertainment gambling makes you accept that you will lose in advance. However, it is exactly in individuals who are unable to process loss - financial, of course, but in most cases, it is deeper. Loss of status, loss of identity, loss of who they considered themselves to be

The casinos know this. The apps know this. They're not selling winning, they're selling the suspension of already-lost. Variable rewards keep you in the game but it's the loss aversion that makes you come back for more

I do like the phrase. For me “responsible risk” means knowing the downside before you act, setting limits, and not letting emotions take over. Most players probably don’t practice that — they chase wins or losses — but the few who manage their risk consciously are the ones who last longer.

Gambling comes with a lot of temptation and it takes a lot of discipline to stop when you are either losing or winning chasing losses is very difficult to stop and it's actually tht main problem most gamblers are dealing, it's what fuels gambling addiction. Gambling responsibly means being sensible to keep it moderate instead of gambling in a way that would put you in a precarious situation. Stake what you can afford to lose

When someone is winning in gambling, they feel like it's their lucky day and will not want to stop, and until they exhaust the luck of that day, some people are sensible enough to know when to stop immediately when they start losing, but to some, they will try every means necessary to try to recover that little they have lost out of their profit, which will push them into losing even their initial deposit.

"Taking risks responsibly" is an interesting phrase. We cannot avoid risk, and we cannot not take risks either. But excessive and stupid risk is not needed, it only brings us closer to failure. In the end, a smart player must choose a certain balance. This is how the phrase "responsible risk" is born. It may sound funny, because when you take risks, you put yourself at the mercy of the elements, you become dependent on luck. However, by adjusting many parameters of your risk, you can make it responsible. Here we can see an analogy with "responsible gaming" and a "responsible player" who knows that he is taking a risk, he does it consciously and he manages his risk as much as possible in order to reduce the risk of adverse consequences, minimize it and increase the probability of success. Do you like the phrase "responsible risk"? What meaning do you put into this concept? Is your risk responsible? How many players, in your opinion, have responsible risk?

Of course I like the term "responsible risk" because I never like irresponsible risk. When I used to gamble offline, I used to gamble responsibly with friends offline. I never gambled irresponsibly because I think that gambling irresponsibly is a threat to every gambler and can ruin their life. All the people I have seen who are addicted to gambling have gambled irresponsibly and spent all their money on gambling and gambled one after another. So I don't like this type of gambling at all which is why I use very little money and gamble responsibly. If there was a voting system here, it would be seen that most people gamble responsibly, even though they gamble irresponsibly, they would still mention gambling responsibly, but here most people gamble responsibly.

Responsible risk would be when you actually improve your unavoidable risks.   Like I could say that gambling distracts me from smoking and drinking and quite ironically I have improved my health risks by managing my leisure activity well.   
  Risk can be a swearword to some but to avoid or overly attempt to avoid risk you could end up worse off and in a far more risky situation not just leisure but almost any standard risk humans have to encounter.

Avoiding risky situations is a tough exercise for gamblers. Some gamblers take responsibility and gamble, but most gamblers are addicted and are aware of the risks but are unable to improve their mindset. Many novice gamblers wonder if there is a way to deal with the inevitable risks of gambling. They do not learn to understand their mistakes in reviewing the game until they lose a lot of money and lose their ability to spend.

When a gambler makes a big profit or loses everything at the end of the game, his reaction can exceed his limits, if he really exceeds his limits, then this is the biggest weakness, and because of this weakness a gambler always becomes addicted to gambling. Gambling is inherently risky and there is always a possibility of losing, but if a gambler cannot accept this loss, then he will move towards greater losses, they should understand that the loss here can never be recovered, rather trying to recover it causes greater losses, so it is very important to maintain the right mindset and self-control, it is very difficult but not impossible, you have to be responsible, otherwise you should give up gambling.

Losing is no longer a possibility, but a certainty. Therefore, if you're willing to take risks in gambling, such as depositing savings or betting with very high stakes, you must think carefully. Furthermore, you must be prepared for the inevitable loss. Many people become addicted because they aren't prepared to lose their deposited money. You're right, it's better to understand how gambling works, rather than letting our own mindset trap us in a cycle of addiction. This isn't the goal.

Gambling will tests your discipline, especially when you are an emotional gambler...   It is so easy to start chasing losses or get carried away when you are winning, and before you know it, you have gone too deep..   I think the key is knowing your limit and actually sticking to it,  like, once you have set an amount you can afford to lose, you treat it like entertainment, not a money making plan.. 
The moment you start betting with the mindset of i have to recover what I lost, that is when it turns dangerous. Gambling is not really the problem most times sha, it is the lack of self control that makes it one…

That's why you should be aware of it implications before getting Involved in it, gambling addiction has bring so many folks down due to their reckless and aggressive approach, you don't need to gamble like your whole life depends on it, just stake with what you can afford losing and everything will just be fine, get your self a reliable and sustainable job that can fix your daily expenses and other issues then you see yourself setting boundaries from gambling addiction. The bitter truth is that gambling addiction is as a result of joblessness,  try keeping your self busy with job or business then gambling responsibly wouldn't be a problem.

[Rashlyowl]

Yeah, I think the issue with the whole phrase of responsible risk is that basically allowing to continue gambling but without having the requirement of banning or anything like that.

Basically you can continue to gamble, but not too much, but who gets to decide what's enough.

What you say is true bros. All risks in gambling should be calculated & managed so that they can be handled responsibly in a mature manner. Regardless of the bet, whether large or small, the risk of loss should be considered, as there is no guarantee of always winning or always losing. Therefore, when you can think ahead & consider all the risks, that's where the responsibility of a mature gambler lies.

For sure any gambler who gambles should be able to prepare themselves for the inevitable because gambling involves risk so in other not to be overwhelmed by the outcome of events, one must be prepared and take it as a risk.
This preparation is not all about you just playing games but rather you building your mental faculty and inner mind to be able to control and withstand the pressure that comes with gambling and one losing games. So now it's not much about you gambling but you being able to withstand the shock of you loosing out. This is you having a clearer picture and understanding of how gambling works.

You are also right; gambling is something for which we can't just predict the outcome. No matter the game, we can't use the information that we have at hand to decide what the outcome of the game will be; we just have to go slow with minimum risk so that, irrespective of the outcome, the gambler will have not much to worry about or to lose.

It take a discipline and responsible person to resist loss chasing because this can be very tempting, I know what I'm saying and I'm saying this based on experience because sometimes I'm always tempted to gamble to get back my money after loss and whenever this feeling or mindset comes, it is very hard to say no seeing that you have loss a reasonable amount of money though sometimes what I do is, I will play twice and if it doesn't work I will be going on break for the main time because I know if I should continue I will lose more than I have already loss and that is what brings about depression and mental stress.

Absolutely, we can not predict the outcome of gambling and this is why it is seen as a luck based game. In other to minimise the risk involved, players are advised to always play with the sense of having fun and also with budget or funds the could afford to lose so that the don't get overwhelmed by the situation of the game output. Little wonder it is better to gamble responsibly because it takes a responsible gambler to be able to minimise the possible risk at hand than to be at loss.

I agree with your point of view. Self-control is the key when gambling to avoid putting yourself at great risk. Gambling as entertainment is not a problem. But when someone takes gambling as a source of income, then the real problem starts. Those who bet should keep some money aside which is not for any necessary work. And even if they lose, they will not have any financial problems. There is no problem if you bet with that money, but if you take money from the necessary fund outside that money and gamble, then you may face financial problems. Therefore, you should stay away from excessive greed and use gambling as entertainment.

Let me point something out a little straight here: not all games are entirely luck-based games in gambling. Slot games are more just luck-based games, but when it comes to betting, which comprises all sorts of sport games, it requires both luck and skill before one can see winning. The skill will help the bettor to make good decisions, while good luck will help do the final job.
