Is it easy to be a responsible player?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, I can not speak for all, I believe that everyone has their own self experiences, what they have witnessed from others and also their self control abilities which is not the same for everyone. For me, when I started gambling, it was not that easy because I was gambling to win and make money and not for fun like I do now. Because I was gambling for profit, I lost self control but I also got to realize that I was making mistakes by being compulsive, so I had to retrace my steps, I would not say it was very easy to do but if you are determined, you can control it.

[Gozie51]

No it's not easy, if it's easy, I should have successfully convinced many gamblers to stop being addicts.

This interest me because I also think it is not easy to be a responsible player. There is a difference with someone who plays into addiction and someone who only plays by impulse, just maybe when they wish to play or they are encouraged by others to play, maybe like op. For that person who is always playing and becomes an habit to the person, it has become part of the person. They say habit is difficult to do away with. So to get that person who is addict out of gambling is not easy. It is a personal conviction that will bring such person out of it and not basically about what you tell the person. If such person on a sober reflection takes stock of loses and profit, they may draw their decision from there. It is just like someone who does only 3 sticks of cigarettes compared to someone who does 1 pack of cigarettes, their conviction level is not the same.

It is easy to be responsible if only one is ready to go through the process of learning and understanding. In gambling, what you understand about gambling is how you go about it.

If your understanding of gambling is that you think money can be made quickly and easily, then you will gamble the wrong way. If you think gambling is a game that can't be predicted, then you will know how to go about it and handle the risk.

It is an understanding of gambling that makes a gambler responsible, and if you don't understand gambling, there is nothing that can be done about it. It is impossible to be responsible with something you don't know about; you either go about it in ignorance or try to abuse it by benefiting from it by all means.

I think you can be a responsible player from the very beginning and not wait until the time when you realize that it’s difficult to make money in gambling. To understand how good you can be at gambling, you don’t need a large bankroll at the start. It’s enough to play with the money you can afford to lose, and if you are able to make a profit, then you can think about increasing your bankroll. If not, then what’s the point, if in the end you will lose everything anyway.

It looks like it was very easy for you to retrace your steps and start gambling responsibly. For others, it was not that easy to end addiction. Some of them had to seek professional advice or assistance before they were able to gain control over their gambling experiences. I see reason with you that the cheapest means of becoming a gambling addict is seeing it as a source of income. It will lead to loss chasing and other unhealthy practices. Some gamblers go to the extent of selling properties or borrowing money because they see gambling as an investment.

What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?

It is not easy to accept the bad things that occur in gambling activities, in terms of responsibility there are many consequences that must be hiled for users themselves, It is easy to say responsibility but a few who can do what else is in gambling.

In general, people are ready and willing to be responsible if they win when betting, but instead will happen if bad things happen and losses, many people are no longer able to accept reality and no longer be able to assume obligations the responsibility and does not want to accept the decisions and reality that occur, the point is that of the many negative reasons that occur during gambling, on the basis of that many users are no longer Responsible for the gambling activities they do, do not be surprised if we often see losing gambling do beyond common sense no longer responsible for themselves.

[Agbamoni]

Yes, its easy to be a responsible player. You need to set an amount that your willing to spend for fun or for profit as the case maybe, and consider it gone whether you lose or win. If you lose get over it.

I know gambling can be very difficult for many people to stay responsible, but there is a general rule which is dont gamble with what you cant afford to lose. I think if every person adhere to this rule, they will directly or indirectly gamble responsibly.

I would wish it was as easy for everyone as it is for your, you know. I am the kind of gambler who have experienced greed, serious greed, during sessions of fast pacing games, like dices.
Let us face it, even if we try to be responsible and use money just as a way to access entertainment on casinos, casinos games are designed to wake up greed within us, as we see we have been able to score a couple of consecutive wins in a single session, even money we can afford to lose can shortly multiply before prompting us to commit mistakes.

One needs to realize when greed kicks in, and log out, terminating our session all escalates.

We all often write and repeat in conversations about the importance of being a responsible player. But I would like to discuss those points that are related to putting this into practice. Really: is it easy to be a responsible player?

It really depends on how you would approach and view gamble that will determine whether you could be responsible or not.

Normally when people view gamble as a means for profit, then there is a possibility that they could be irresponsible when it comes with their finances especially when you start chasing your losses. On the other hand, if a person view gambling primarily for entertainment, then it is most likely that they could very well manage their expenses responsibly.

It is somewhat similar to smoking or gluttony. Everyone knows that smoking is harmful, and excess weight causes health problems, but there are a huge number of people who cannot quit smoking or lose weight. What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?

I do think that it has something to do with your goal, in general.

When a person wins a huge amount of money in gambling, they would often feel this "high" in which they would chase and find continuously. The reality is- that kind of high happens rarely. When you chase your losses in the process, most likely, you would fall on this trap thereby making you prone to addiction.

There is truth in your words, because I use something similar in my games and my preparation for the game, when I am set up to the fact that this money is allowed to be lost to me and I practically consider it as such. In any case, I relax and do not intend to strain myself, but at the same time I do not intend to lose it easily, but I begin to think of different ways to not do it quickly, and perhaps even try something new in strategies, sometimes this happens successfully, but even if I lose, I practically do not experience negative emotions.

I believe that this is part of a person's innate character, which can't be developed from the outside. In other words, it is either there or it is not. If you look at the average gambler, he will not have this skill. The average gambler is passionate, that is, subject to emotions and is not capable of responsible gambling, which requires "extinguishing emotions" (self-control).

Really: is it easy to be a responsible player? For someone, like me, it is not difficult, I am not a gambler in general, I am used to soberly assessing my advantages and, if there are none, limiting the size of my bets or playing only for research or entertainment purposes. But if we take the average player - is it easy for him to be responsible? After all, people often come to the gaming industry with the naive goal of getting rich. And before they come to an understanding of responsible play, quite a long time may pass. It is somewhat similar to smoking or gluttony. Everyone knows that smoking is harmful, and excess weight causes health problems, but there are a huge number of people who cannot quit smoking or lose weight.

Just as you have stated already one of the thing that can make someone become a responsible gambler is knowing that winning is not sure and not gambling regularly because whenever someone have the conviction that winning is certain and sure they will be more eager to gamble and they strive to hit a win because of what they have in their head but if someone understand that winning is luck even though analysis due help sometimes, that gambler will gamble responsibly and won't chase after loss and when someone don't gamble often or regularly the urge and zeal to gamble will reduce and they won't be moved or drive by anything because they understand.

[nara1892]

It's not difficult if they truly understand what gambling is all about from the start. If they understand from the start that gambling is very risky and know that there's no guarantee of winning, then I don't think it's difficult for them to take responsibility and accept the fact of losing. What's difficult is when they have misconceptions about gambling from the start, such as those stemming from seeing other people's big wins.
But from another perspective, this responsibility can also be achieved through experience while playing. It's still possible for an addicted gambler to eventually become responsible and able to accept the risks if, for example, they've experienced something painful, like losing a lot of things in their life due to aggressive gambling, which makes them realize that gambling is not a way to earn a living.

[panjul07]

Easy or difficult will be depending on ourselves because it is every single gambler may face this case differently because of different self control.
Perhaps most people (usually those who are not gambling) will say that it is easy to be responsible gambler because they do not experience themselves but they say about it based on general knowledge only.
For gamblers, it is hard to be responsible gamblers but some gamblers may learn from their own experience then become more responsible than before.
Some other gamblers may not able to learn from their own experience which lead them into the worse possible effect of gambling.

What makes a person to become a responsible gambler is having self control to know when to stop gambling expecialy when you are beginning to get addicted. Realizing you don't need to Gamble above your budget but bet with what you can afford to lose. Not chasing after loses or wining that might leed to addiction. are the key factor to know that you are a responsible gambler.

Why it's difficult for many is simply because they cant control themselves, or we can say they are the opposite of the whole point I made.

We should not fail to consider the background of someone when talking about responsible gambling. The background comprises of the environment the gambler grew from. A gambler who grew in a ghetto where there is no assurance of food, where most of the children never goes to school but are always available in the game halls believing to become suddenly rich, will hardly make a responsible gambler.

Being responsible correlates better with training than traits. You might be born of good parents but peer group will force you to become who you are not. So, being a responsible gambler depends more on the societal influence. You can only claim to be a responsible gambler if you are trained by responsible parents or guidance in a responsible environment. So, if you have younger ones, start now to train them to be very content with what they have. Contentment is key for being responsible.

In the beginning it is easy for everyone to not get addicted and act responsibly. This is even more easy when the first sessions of gambling hit you hard with heavy lost amounts of money, the player thinks this is not for me and never come back at gambling. What is the problem is if this few first sessions reward you with huge wins, it is here that the average person thinks that they are going to win even more and this gets this type of person down south heavily. Only with experience these persons can have a chance to get back to reality and think that those few sessions were only luck on their side. So it all depends on the point of view of the gambler, based on the point of view it can be easy or not easy to be a responsible player.

At early stage into gambling, being a responsible gambler is very difficult because this is when emotions are strong and greed level at the highest. It takes time and process before the player finally understand that gambling is not an easy way out of poverty but something that should be done with fun at the back of the mind. Having fun at the back of the mind will make the player to control the quest for fast money and help in building discipline.

[DaNNy001]

It's not easy to be responsible once you become an addicted to it, this is why you should be very careful at your beginning stages of gambling...Being responsible doesn't really entail much, just gamble mainly for entertainment purposes instead of trying to use gambling as a way to survive or make money...and above all always stake what you can afford to lose, this is always overemphasized

It all boils down to one thing which the inability to control oneself. If we can be able to control every aspect of our lives then we can be able to do same when it comes to gambling. The only thing I believe can make one to become a responsible gambler is that they have control over their gambling habits. They can tell when gambling is becoming an issue and decide to take a break from it , however for those that doesn't have control over there gambling habits. They easily falls prey to gambling addiction. If we can be able to master our inclination towards gambling then gambling responsibly won't be an issue.
