Re: Is it easy to be a responsible player?

It is very easy to be a responsible gambler, when you practice it from onset, then you will master the act of being responsible.
But if have been addicted along the line and you suddenly wants to be responsible, it will be a very difficult task to accomplish. So your question has a two face and as well will have a two faced answer of Yes and No.

Even those gamblers that are not addicted but practicalize the limit control approach to limit and control their gambling activities still find it a big job to cope up with things as following that principle all the time, let say that you have to put up against your desire all the time when you have a limit control in place this makes the approach a hard job, that approach is what we call responsible gambling but you can see that to achieve that you will be needing a lot of patience and endurance to the limit you have set.

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

When a gambler have lost so much already. This makes them hard to quit and that's why being a responsible one is quite hard when you've got a lot to worry with.
And so, even some gamblers would like to be responsible, they just can't because they can't help themselves and doing it at first glance won't have an instant result.
They can do it somehow by changing a little by little until they've fully been changed. Start with small deposits and maintain that for as long as they can and to control the amount of losses that they might have just let it lose.

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? 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.

It is certainly possible to be a responsible gambler, but we have to change our mindset. If we can change our mindset and go through some rules, then we can certainly be right in any case. If we accept gambling as entertainment, then we can be responsible in gambling. Moreover, there are some more strategies among some strategies. Excessive money cannot be used in gambling. A certain budget must be set in gambling, such as a maximum limit of 1%-5% of a person's income. Then after losing in gambling, we cannot try to recover that lost money and try to participate in gambling again and again. In this way, if we can take gambling through some rules and we can adopt these few strategies, then we can certainly be responsible in gambling and use gambling responsibly. Moreover, it is not possible for us to be responsible in gambling.

It may depend on the beginning as well. If from the start the player has the wrong mindset, then it is likely that their playing style will also be wrong or their behavior will be wrong. However it cannot be denied that the risk of addiction to gambling is very high. Even those who view gambling solely as a form of entertainment are not immune to the risk of addiction the potential for addiction still exists and they may occasionally lose control, It is indeed challenging to be a responsible gambler; only a small fraction of those who engage in gambling can do so responsibly.

I think it depends on the person, absolutely.

It's similar to alcohol, for some it's no problem to have a beer here and there, but for others once you start drinking you cannot stop.

In gambling it's the same, some people can go and gamble a couple of times and leave, others will spend all their money over days or months until they're broke.

It really is an addictive thing.

That is why a person needs to be responsible at the beginning of gambling. It is necessary to keep himself under control at all times. He needs to be aware that he does not lose a lot at once. As you said, if someone has already lost a lot in gambling, it is not possible for him to get out of gambling. Then he gets involved in various types of criminal activities to earn money from gambling. Then he himself is destroyed and his family is destroyed. But if that person can control himself at the beginning, then he can gamble while keeping himself under control, so if he is addicted to gambling, he can get himself out of it.
Therefore, at the beginning of gambling, you should prepare yourself in such a way that you can get yourself out of any situation at any moment.

Fear of losing money can prevent someone from taking high risks by gambling beyond their means.
Also, a person who is quite busy in their life will find it difficult to find time to gamble, so when they do gamble, it will be limited to times when they are truly free, resulting in less money spent.
However, it is not easy to be a responsible gambler, especially if you are in a community that actively gambles, but in my experience, the busier I am, the less I gamble, allowing me to save more money.

Being responsible is not a decision we can make because we want to and then be Irresponsible in other aspects of life, if we are responsible we will be responsible in everything, we may get Carried away by emotions in a casino , but the Responsible person will not lose a lot of money because they know they must maintain themselves and cannot give in, those who do run the risk of getting into trouble and obviously falling into addiction.

Having responsibility in gambling will help someone to prevent the bad effects of gambling. He will realize that he must keep control of himself to stay away from the big loss. Responsibility in gambling means he can keep himself under control at all times so no matter the result, he can stop gambling anytime.

He will not be lured to continue gambling especially if he loses too much before. He just doesn't want to see more losses so he will stop gambling immediately. And with self-control, he will prevent more losses or prevent being greedy by wanting to win more.

He knows that gambling can destroy him, so controlling himself will work best. He doesn't want to become addicted to gambling so he will prevent himself from playing gambling too often.

I think its not hard to be a responsible player, but its hard to build «past» to be prepared to be responsible. From my vision, a person who has enough money, knows lots of ways how to earn them (not only in theory), have stable income, can gamble responsibly and greed will never lure him to dark side. Its not easy to become such a person, but if someone managed to become like it, he wont have problems with gambling.

[crwth]

With all that the members have said, I agree that it's definitely challenging, especially for people who are not in control of their emotions. Sometimes it really brings more problems when you do that, and that would lead to stress and bad moods that would lead you to poor decisions like gambling more.

Perhaps people could become more understanding of the possibility of using tools that help them limit themselves when it's tough and stay away from temptations.

Yes, even the gamblers that treats gambling for entertainment purposes. They're also prone to addiction knowing that there are other factors that could affect them.
And that's why if they're not as responsible as us, they could fall for their own mistakes and losses. It's the start of the tragedy for themselves of being addicted when they can't take their own choices well.
Even for small amount of deposits and bets that they'll make, that could also trigger them into falling to addiction.

People should choose to be responsible in their lifestyles and finance, that is when they can be responsible gamblers. It is not quite feasible to learn being responsible because of gambling, it has to be a lifestyle that affects every areas of life especially in finance. The important aspect about responsible gambling is not to gamble to become rich because that can lead to chasing loses which will eventually lead to addiction. Even when you're lucky and gets rich through gambling if you're not disciplined and responsible you'll lose everything back to the casino.

It's a tough thing to be a responsible person, but you have a point about what you said. It's about being responsible anywhere, and if a person or a gambler is used to what he is doing, then I think it will be normal for him to have control over his gambling habits.

Still, that's a tough action to do, to be responsible. In gambling, it's always the emotions that we need to keep under control, and when one is losing, the emotions go up, and that's when we make wrong decisions.

Sometimes greed can make us deviate from the right thing but once you're determined to follow the right path you'll be able to overcome that greed. I won't say it's very easy to be a responsible cause there are several temptations along the way but if a gambler can be determined like those steps you've take which are " limiting the size of your bets, playing for the fun of it and entertainment" and so forth then the gambler won't find it very though to overcome the temptations that comes with gambling, it's something that if not done in a responsible way can cause serious damage to someone (addiction) so it should be done with precautions and in a responsible way. Once a gambler develops such mindset then gambling responsibly won't be though for anyone.

[Bright0515]

For someone that's brought up in a responsible home he can be a responsible gambler, the type of gambler that others can not influence through the way they spend on gambling or the way they win constantly. It can be hard to maintain a responsible ways for gambling but if the gambler is disciplined he can gamble responsible. At first if the gambler is not there to make money he can actually gamble responsibly. To make money from gamble is the what really makes gamblers to gamble irresponsibly because they don't normally like it when they lose.

If it's that easy to be responsible gambler, I wonder why there are many gamblers out there that are losing money because of wrong decisions.

Being a responsible might be easy, but in reality, it's hard. Gambler can change their mood from being responsible, to being greedy in an instant especially if they're winning consecutive times already. Most of the gamblers aren't contented with their winnings, and they always have this feeling where they feel that they can win more after maybe doubling or tripling their money. It's hard to be a responsible gambler for most because of their mindset as well. What I believe is that, if we are responsible outside of gambling, we can carry it over, and be responsible as well in gambling.

That is true, when we say that we wanted to be a responsible gambler, then that's it. However, in practice, specially in we are in that situation, that's where's we totally forget about. And recently, I heard about the story and this is one factor that the recovering addicts shares.

In the beginning, when he lost we wanted to recover. And then he said to himself, that once I recovered, then I will quit. But once he was in that situation, he said that or what reason he gave is that since he is already there so what not aim for some win? And then the pattern goes until he become addicted.

I believe that every gambler can be responsible when they have the mindset that gambling is not an activity that should be prioritized. Gamblers find it hard to be responsible when they take gambling too seriously. Initially, gamblers can control their gambling budget, but when they gamble more frequently and make it a necessity to do so every day, it jeopardizes their finances.

If you have started to see gambling as an activity that you must do every day, try to force yourself to stop for one day, a week, then a month without gambling. It is not easy for those who are already addicted, but when you succeed, you may gain a better perspective on gambling.

The beginning matters a whole lot yet it is mostly ignored because at first it will never seem like you can get to a point of carelessness with your gambling habit. Even for entertainment addiction can set in, most persons believe gambling for entertainment can not really be addictive except when you gamble for money, these people forget that you can get addicted to a form of entertainment and it has nothing to do with If  it was done for fun or money.  This is why we have to be careful, at the very start of a new habit, it is best to make sure to checkmate your involvement because that is the beat time to build a habit around it and be able to see how well you can gwt it regulated if you finally intend to do so.
