Personal disciplines and Gambling disciplines which you prefer?

[r_victory]

It's best to be disciplined before you start gambling. Since that's not usually the case, it's good to learn something while gambling; it's bad when you learn nothing. It's possible that one complements the other.

Every difficult situation has its positive side: learning. As I said in another thread, gambling taught me self-control, to use reason more than my heart.

My question is, Would you prefer gambling to teach you disciplinary lessions or you prefer to be personally disciplined on your own before you begin to gamble?

Some people prefer to learn the hard way, thats why when they start gambling, they already know the risk involved in it, and they won’t take caution, until they become victim. I prefer to be disciplined on my own before I begin to gamble, if you are disciplined on your own before you start gambling, even when you start gambling, you will be able to control yourself, and you won’t end up getting addicted at the end. Most addicted gamblers are not just disciplined that’s why they end up gambling irresponsibly.

We should seek our own personal discipline at first before considering gambling personalities we might develop, because when we have personal discipline well developed in us, then to gamble and be more responsible for it will not be an issue as well.

Not all gamblers got to achieve high level of discipline and the roles are more complex in order to achieve through our goals being a gamblers things will not go as we wanted, it's better that we take on what we want and give all it may require and be a disciplined kind.

Just to get straight to the point without killing your times, I have recently been reading threads in this gambling board that talks about disciplinary lessons thought in gambling that affects our reality outside our gambling life.
It baffles me how someone will be aware about the risks surrounding gambling but instead of taking caution measures on the process so that you don't become victim, some are waiting to be thought tough ful lessons that is on the equilibrium to destabilize their finance and ruins their responsibilities before they could be disciplined in gambling.

My question is, Would you prefer gambling to teach you disciplinary lessions or you prefer to be personally disciplined on your own before you begin to gamble?

At least you need to discipline yourself first before thinking of venturing into gambling, because that's exactly what most gamblers are surfering nowadays.

They started gambling with a very wrong mindset hoping they can easily make it through gambling, right now most of them are battling with self control which is not supposed to be, because gambling is not a source of income. Honestly, there's nothing good than having a personal discipline in gambling because it's the only thing that can make you enjoy the game without getting caught up on the way.

This is not which one is most preferred, obviously if the question is which one is most preferred, everyone would definitely prefer to be personally disciplined first so as not to have problems, but the fact is that more people are disciplined in gambling, they have to experience losses first so they can learn and they have to accept the bad impact, only a few people personally discipline themselves before gambling.

I think you need to fix yourself first and develop discipline personally before you expect to navigate well your gambling experiences. You can't be a good gambler if you are not a good and responsible citizen in the first place, that is why those who aren't performing well in gambling are also those who likely messed up with their lives and just turn into gambling hoping they'll be good in there. But no, the way how you manage your money and finances, the way how you control yourself and your emotions, will definitely affect your gambling performance and its outcome.

Gambling does not require only skill or luck to handle, our life in general also plays a great part in handling gambling. Unless we are able to manage ourselves in some basic aspects; which includes money and emotional control, we will lack the liberty to be responsible gamblers. Gambling is not a fix to life issues; it may only aggravate them should not applied wisely.

You can't allow gambling to teach you a disciplinary measure, as a gambler it's your duty to control your emotions in the gambling and you will not allow gambling to bend you on it's way, if you are gambling to teach you a lesson,  that means you are incompetent to gamble and will be possible for gambling to pursue you to be addicted, I believe that in gambling you have to know, that something can happen but not to the extent that you will allow gambling to ruin your life, if we start to control our emotions on gambling, I believe that will have the chances of making a positive waves in the gambling

You don't have to wait for gambling to first mess you up before you stay discipline when gambling, discipline is something you develop without waiting for someone to first tell you to stay discipline or without waiting for gambling to first make you loose your personality, relationship and so on before you start staying discipline when gambling. As a gambling you have to always discipline yourself when gambling, if you budget to gamble with $100, then you have to stick to it and stop gambling immediately you reach that limit, because stopping when you have spent the $100 you budgeted for gambling is what we call discipline, and as a gambler if you always discipline yourself when gambling trust me you can never get addicted to gambling or even gamble with the amount you can't afford to lose.

I have already started gambling, but guess what?... I got my gambling discipline far before I started gambling, and it was as a result of the awareness that was created on this forum. Being disciplined can come from either through personal experience, or through information or awareness created. But the truth is, a discipline learnt from awareness is better than what that of experience especially in the case of gambling. Let's not forget that cases of addiction doesn't start in a day, so it is best to learn how to manage oneself so as not to become a victim of addiction, than to become an actual addict before you can learn your lesson. And mind you, addiction causes way more financial problems in gambling.

No gambler is self discipline enough to learn without making mistakes, sorry to say most people love to learn from their mistakes first so they don’t do same thing. Anyone who is not ready to make mistake and learn might not get it right in terms of being successful, although gambling is a different phase from life lesson while personal discipline in this aspect talks about a good plan budget, gamble responsible, don’t get over excited or confident about a bet rather stay optimistic about the game. A well educated gambler will always want to stay self disciplined first to avoid addiction because not everyone can resist completely from gambling even after a huge loss.

[Nathrixxx]

Am such a gambler that will ensure that i do both and put all into practice to be maintained, because in everything we do, we must be able to exhibit high sense of responsibility with what we do and see the impact are positive on us, not that we are responsible from one side and then irresponsible on the other side, the balance must be there, on both sides, because we must be responsible at all times.

Making errors is an average phenomenon among most players who learn but the process is risky when one is not well versed with himself. Successful playing environment control is mainly achieved in budget management, composure, and emotional control. Once we are able to be critical of our moves, then we have less chances of being caught in overdrive. When a player is ready to self-correct, he or she tends to retain the control of his or her play.

What we mean is that do not allow gambling to manipulate you, that's all we are making reference of, because if gambling get control over you that means you will be addicted for life time in the gambling,  we need to gambling responsibly so that our gambling skills will not affect our every day life, but some people choose to be curious to be both responsible and smae time be irresponsible because of gambling, we have to know when to gamble and when not gamble, secondly do something that will not caused you harm or make you to regret, a responsible gambler can't regret his actions in gambling

[Makus]

being personally disciplined on your own is better than gambling discipline bu this isn't really the same with everyone,  there are people that already disciplined and there also people that to instill discipline while they are gambling but i prefer to be disciplined before considering gambling is better so you don't have to deal with the negativities of gambling. Going through gambling discipline isn't for everyone some might get caught up or twisted in the process, it is better to work on yourself first

I mean, that is how has always worked, people never take cautionary tales from the experience of others, it is necessary for them to learn to become victims of their own recklessness in order to learn the lesson.
If people learned from the experience of others, then there would not be so many people addicted to gambling or people having money problems because of the way they gamble or bet on sports.

I have also most a significant amount of money before taking in consideration what gambling could do to my personal finances.

One needs to suffer in order to learn the most important lessons of life. Sadly, that is how works in the most of occasions.

Personal discipline, when applied to any venture, will lead to better outcomes. It's a flawed reasoning to be disciplined as a reason to start gambling, not only a bad idea, but a risky one. We should treat gambling as an entertainment platform and not something to teach you about discipline.
Discipline comes from contemplation and self-accountability. Once you have acquired discipline, then that's the time that you can start gambling, and you will be successful in controlling your gambling activities and avoiding the many risks associated with it.

Why not learn about gambling discipline before getting into it?

I am not in support of those people who say that gambling experience teaches you the best lesson you can learn in gambling. Yes, you learn from it, but it is possible for you to ignore them, thinking you've found a way to stop making those mistakes. Real-life discipline will always make you stick to the principles.

It is also possible that connecting gaming as a possibility to develop self control will be misleading since this trait is a result of a far more extensive internal process than leisure activities. When we can overcome our needless urges and responsibility ourselves, self control is gained. This will allow gaming to be conducted in a safer way. Stable limitations are required to ensure that this activity does not evolve into a stressful or harmful habit of life style on our day to day lives.

As for personal discipline, I think it's essential. Beyond gambling, we also need to be disciplined in all aspects, such as spending. Without discipline, unnecessary expenses will occur. Furthermore, personal discipline will make us disciplined in all aspects. Once we're accustomed to discipline, it'll be easier to apply it to anything, including gambling. However, sometimes the temptation of gambling is strong and can change a person's principles when betting.
