How long would you stay before gambling?

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well, you are speaking the truth but many gamblers find it difficult to know when to stop or quit from gambling which expose them to gamble recklessly and deprived them of enjoying the essence of gambling without passing through the pressure of stressing one's mental health. Which will make them to navigate through ups and downs in gambling by staying grounded to the target they set for themselves. Which they can also manage the risks involved and make better decisions that will impact them postively.

Experience is what makes us wiser. I've also been through moments where I lost control and lost. I won't deny it, there are losses that leave you feeling a bit down, but it's all part of it. The casino is a world, and each person has their own way of experiencing it. The more time passes and the more we play, the more we learn, at least to risk less because we know how it is.

Balancing emotions is the way to have a peaceful state of mind, where one don't have to think much about the potential outcomes, which they are ready to except anything from gambling and avoid anything that will lead them into becoming addicted, because being unable to control your emotions and balance it, there are very high chances that the results will not turn out to be what one is expecting to be, which will totally make them feel disappointed and unhappy.

The only result you have to expect my dear is to have fun, if you win then good, otherwise never mind.
This mentality, that of expecting results, is what pushes you towards addiction and frustration if you don't win. It's absolutely wrong.

Yes, we arent perfect and its normal that we would be having those mistakes and errors that we might committed. Some might be able to avoid it out but there are people who have done it and later on these people could neither be able to learn from their mistakes or they would really be that continuing as long they do have  the money and would be able to do so. Actually gambling isnt that bad as long you do make yourself responsible and wary about into your actions. Staying or duration on doing gambling would be basing up on different factors but most gamblers will be staying just because they've been addicted into it and thats something which is really that bad and not something that needs to be tolerated. Its important that you are really that wary into your actions and always have the limitation and moderation on which this would really be most crucial thing when dealing up with gambling because once you dont have that control and moderation then you would easily get fall into addiction on which it would be that so hard to recover on.

Experience makes us wiser but some people don't admit it. It works in gambling. Some gamblers think that gambling is completely based on luck. I used to think so when I started gambling, but time and experience gradually change the ideas. You may not have made much profit by gambling in a casino for a long time and the losses were high but the experience you have gained during this time will be of great use in reducing your losses later on. Although you have to believe that if you are more experienced you will win more this is not the case. The casino will provide you with enough entertainment, but in this context they will profit from you even if it is by manipulation.

Indeed. Controlling one’s expectations as a gambler is the first step towards having a safe gambling experience. When a gambler’s expectation are realistic, they’re able to focus on things that really matters and controlling their emotions comes naturally without even struggling for it.

It’s not as if people don’t make money from gambling, sure people do everyday, but expecting that which isn’t certain can bring disappointment, and not everyone can handle such disappointment.

It is true that experience makes people wiser but not in every case or scenario because there are some experience you can not actually afford to have or get as it can take life or take you to the state you can never imagine. Gambling is a luck based game especially sport betting and don't be deceived by what you think you know before you make a terrible mistake thinking you have known something, experience and lick are two different things. Your experience can help you minimize loss but it can not help you win in gambling it's not possible unless those gamble we play physically.

Yes, from all this one can infer that things are different when a person is cautious; more cautious people tend to take much better care of their money. Money itself is the most important thing of all. Personally, I have learned not to spend money abnormally, like when I was a novice. Sometimes, as a novice, I would run out of money, and that was really bad. At least having that control can make everything turn out better.

It's easier to say that "the only result you have to expect is to have fun" although this sounds good but it's very hard to stick to having fun forever because there will come a time when you will get enough of that fun and then you will be trying to get something different, at that point you might start looking into profit. I know how difficult it is to only focus on gambling for fun I'm still wondering how you guys do it because I tried to focus on having fun only not that I don't gamble for fun but at some point I think about profit I think this is normal because there's no way you will gamble without expecting wining at some point.

My duration of stay in front of gambling is actually based on my attitude and discipline at the time. I no longer believe that I should be gambling many hours since that is where one normally makes errors. I would like to work in brief bursts with a set amount of cash and boundaries. which allows me to understand when to quit. be it in victory or defeat. I used to spend more time staying there and hence. end up pursuing some losses only to make the situation worse. I no longer consider gambling a habit and now I regard it as an entertainment. and when I get emotional or distracted I walk away right away to avoid making bad decisions.

I completely agree with you, it’s true that experience is what makes us wiser in every aspect of life. I’ve experienced this myself when it comes to gambling I’m wiser now about gambling because of the experiences I’ve had.

But that doesn’t mean everyone has to go through the same thing to become wiser it’s better to simply observe others’ experiences and that alone can make us wiser.

[Yablee0]

This statement is contradictory..if we should gamble responsibly and keep gambling secretly, why should we be promoting it to everyone...something you do in secret does not need a promotion...

Lol, his statement is quite funny I swear, someone that is advising that will shouldn't gamble aggressively or probably gambling in secret is the same person promoting it probably for a signature campaign and expecting to be paid from it. Why promoting something you aren't proud of, or something you feel is bad and the same time expecting people to patronize it, it's something laughable. 

However, gamble is actually not a bad thing, is our too much greed and other bad approach to was it has what has been tagging it with negative narrations that has been making it look as bad as people think, if only we gamble for fun I don't think their will be any problem at all.

Except of course your don’t have a good source or streams of income, or you think your current job isn’t paying you enough to cover your needs, but if your needs are well covered by your income then I don’t see any reasons why you’ll be expecting gambling to do that for you, except of course you’re already having that misconception that everyone gambling is doing so for the money and so you wanna do the same, if that’s so then first thing you gotta do is rewire your mindset and when you get to the point that you no longer find gambling exciting, you just quit and look for something else that’ll give you that entertainment.

[xenomorfo]

You are right. If emotions are measured in a balanced way in gambling, it will not work in the favour of gamblers because gamblers often fail to control themselves while betting. This is one reason to push away addiction, but often gamblers have a mental inclination not to gamble excessively, but the increase in losses does not allow them to stop at the appropriate time.

The argument you have presented about gamblers being unhappy gradually leads to addiction because as long as gamblers have a liquid financial flow, they repeatedly fail to control themselves. The principle of bankroll management provides a reminder to gamblers to control their emotions that they need to stop on time.

In the end, in my opinion, the main question to ask is, why do we want to play, why do we play? If we play to make money then we are doing it badly.
If we play to pass the time, we can talk about it and understand what to do without falling into the trap of addiction.

You might be right about that, although my own case isn't about having a good source of income of course I have a well pay job added together with my skill so as you can see I'm doing absolutely well, I don't think if that could be the reason. I feel that I'm throwing away my money since I'm not getting anything in return and of course no one would keep throwing away his money everytime and still feel ok even though we are doing it for entertainment sake or fun at some point you will want to give it a second thought, although it might be that I'm the only gambler who is feeling this way, but i think it's normal to feel that way because I struggled to get the  money.

the summary of your post has concluded all, because nobody who is into gambling that does not have the motive of obtaining a profit from gambling, so one of the most reasons that made people to participate in gambling often is not to catch a fun, but is to make money through gambling and that is why majority of Us who does not make a reasonable amount of profit from gambling often do not fail to complain about gambling

Some most of us we Claim that we are gambling because of entertainment whereas the major purpose of us to gamble is to make profit, let me use this as a point of explanation, in Trading everyone who goes into trading they are motive of trading is to make money but in gambling people fell not agree and their purpose of going into gambling is to make money why people who is into gambling make their own official that the purpose there are into gambling is to make a profit, so my question is that, what is the difference between gambling and trading

If we play to pass the time, we can talk about it and understand what to do without falling into the trap of addiction.

If you can play only to pass time, it might be the safest in terms of not chasing too much profit, but when you overdepend on that as the only activity you engage in anytime you have free time, you might end up also getting addicted. When one is overdoing something, there is a high chance of the person getting addicted to it unless they are actively in control of themselves and don't allow it to escalate to that extent.

This is must look facts towards gambling and if people where taking their time extremely careful and serious before gambling we would have received less reports towards gambling addictions.
Of course this looks so common but it matters while gambling, can also look at the time you spend, how much you allocate when gambling this would enable you culture yourself properly while gambling and it would also help to reduce gambling addiction as well.

What do you think about the total hours spent while gambling, does it also attributes to how quickly you could become addicted to gambling?

As gambler you must be able to set a time  limit for yourself that you will be gambling with helps avoid addiction and unnecessary pressure.

As gambler time limit helps you keep track and makes you meet up all your personal activities since you don't have to spend all your time gambling, make you feel free to gamble at any time you want and gamble with what you can afford to lose.

When you commit to a fanbase to some club, the time you spend at the gambling house wouldn’t matter much because, you just might not be actively gambling but, can watching the games and having a good time but, should you be out there for the gambling, then it becomes of much importance that you have some good money management skill and a great hold over your will power in other to spend more time at the gambling house. If you ain’t got that in control, then you probably should get up and leave once you exhaust your bankroll otherwise, it’s just going to keep calling to you for one more round and the promises of a win is never absent of your thoughts.

Experience does change the way we approach gambling but I do not believe that time is the key factor- discipline is. On my part. I would not be spending much time after I have hit my predetermined boundary be it time or money. Gamblers perceive that the longer they stay the more they have a chance but in the real life. this usually causes the gambler to make emotional judgements and take up bigger losses. As you all said. we learn in experience to manage risk. not to seek victories. The casino atmosphere is intended to have us persist in playing. and it is more crucial to know when to leave than how long we play. Gambling is to be a form of entertainment and not an issue that strains our mind or even finances.

Or not have any directly.
I don't expect to win on my poker night, and even if i did win i wouldn't take any significant amount, maybe just the money for a beer and maybe not even for that.
Having no expectations, i am not inclined to play more to win more. i don't know if you understand what i mean.
