Irresponsible gambling is an attitudinal thing

[purple_sparkles]

You have a point to an extent, gambling to a large extent depend on your behavior and how you control your feelings and emotions this will, determine how your approach on gambling will be, whether a gambler is gambling responsibly or not is a function of his behavior. Someone who is well behaved and has self control will not allow gambling to control and determine what he does.



Self control which is one of the things that every gambler needs, for a successful gambling experience lies in your attitude. If you are someone who is not coordinated and lacks discipline it's going to reflect on how you gamble, infact you can't be talking about responsible Gambling without first of all working on your self which is the attitude.

Irresponsibility is usually a general behavioral pattern, and gambling is just one way it can manifest. A person who allows themselves to lose their entire budget and take on debts they have no way of repaying would likely end up in a similar situation even if they had never known about gambling. Instead of gambling, it could have been high-risk investments, a business they didn’t fully understand how to develop, or turning to various fortune tellers and whitches for expensive charms and talismans to attract wealth, basically, other similar kinds of nonsense.

Gambling under the influence of a substance is not wrong when the substance does not have full control of whatever you are doing. I believe there are people wo can can get drunk and still be aware of their environment. Well, I cannot say the same for those who take hard drugs or smoke. I do not smoke or take hard drugs, but I do drink at times. At the same time, I find myself gambling when it is necessary, while drinking, it doesnt take control of my actions.

Try not to be terrible with the advice, when drunk, everything totally feels right until the alcohol clears from the body.

Being intoxicated with whichever substance takes a person out of their senses, any financial decision at the moment is influenced by the substance. An intoxicated person can't control their next action, let alone take and make risky decisions.

It's a matter of not getting drunk and gambling, drink moderately instead, where you still have full control of yourself.

Well to me I believe that the way you see gambling really matters a lot because gambling can easily mess with someone psychologically, mentally, and physically. And all this are due to making irrational decisions in gambling which is an unsafe habit......

​That said gambling when you're on alcohol or drugs is very risky as this may lead to the gambler staking more than what he can afford to lose. Basically during that state your mind will be determined in an irrational way,which gives you this sense to keep gambling after a loss because you believe you can win the next round. And yeah while luck may happen and you win, there is no guarantee you will win the next round that's why it's expected to note that gambling is all about winning and losing with no guarantee.....

​Overall everyone has their way of gambling through luck, analysis, strategies, predictions, and so many more but taking drugs or alcohol will definitely make one irresponsible to their actions. That's all........

Irresponsible gambling is an attitudinal thing because if you find yourself gambling irresponsibly today it must be attached to your behavior one way or the other. I hear some people say they love gambling under the influence of alcoholic or drugs but when they fail woefully they try to justify their  failures to something else like lack of financial discipline and lack of luck in decision making. Sometimes good decisions bring about good luck so when you are gambling is not a game you want to play with alcohol because it is a game that is so sweet and can get you carried away just by mere playing without any influence.

Imagine you now want to gamble under influence and you expect for it not to get you into more financial crisis. Whatever adventure that you are looking for from gambling, you can get it without having to combine gambling with alcohol just to feel happy? That's the main reason why I said irresponsible gambling is an attitudinal thing and you need to work on it as a person or an individual if you truly wants to become a responsible gambler.

Well yes, at best it is enjoyed as a casual form of entertainment - maybe with friends in live or online casinos, where you're just there to have a laugh with a bit of competition or hit the tables to see who gets lucky that night. I'm not sure about the word "attitudinal" but it is definitely something that can be habit forming, so if you play it for long enough you don't know how to structure your day without it after a while. That means you follow the same steps every day and must source money from somewhere in order to fund it. It can also be a painful spiral because many people are acutely aware of how much they've lost over time and part of the reason they keep going back is an inability to let all those historical losses go.

[tygeade]

Irresponsible gambling is not always driven by things such as drugs or alcohol, some people just can't control their emotions even when they are completely sober, and such are the people who gamble irresponsibly. When you win a good amount, the right thing to do after that is to stop gambling and make a withdraw so that you don't lose it all back, but people lose control, they get greedy and think that they can multiply the amount further if they gamble more, and they do it, but instead of multiplying the amount, they end up losing everything back, and it happens gradually, they lose one bet, makes a bigger one, then do the same thing again, and eventually, lose everything by playing irresponsibly.

I agree that someone who is under the influence of either drugs or alcohol will barely be able to do anything responsibly because they are not in their right senses at that time, they don't think before doing anything. I have seen people who drink alcohol, and once they drink a bit too much, they basically become filter-less, will say and do things that no one must have expected from them, it boosts your confidence but in a negative way, because the things that you do in that condition will mostly not have positive outcomes, and gambling is no exception.

I think that a gambling decision does not increase the chance of winning, it only enables the person to execute or not to execute their gambling desires.  I agree that irresponsible gambling has something to with what attitude the person is used to.  If they lack financial discipline, then it is not impossible to see them spending in gambling as if there is no tomorrow.

Yes, if the person gamble  under the influence of alcohol, his decision and control is affected so he might  spend the money he can't afford to lose and may end up financially bankrupt if left uncontrolled.

Self-discipline is an important factor here that must be improved especially when we know the cause of losing ourselves as you said in the alcohol problem for example then don't push yourself too hard to gamble with alcohol if you know that it will not be good for us in the end.

Conditions that are too forceful sometimes make us get into trouble in the end and this is where we have to maintain discipline so that we don't get too carried away in bad habits that make gambling even more difficult to control.
Responsibility does feel easy when we just say it but when it cannot be done with action then it is the same as we are lying to ourselves in the end which makes the last way is always to blame other things or other parties when we lose in gambling.

[Hazink]

One event can affect another event, this can also happen in real gambling. Some people may gamble to earn money for drugs, while others may take drugs to forget the pain of losing money while gambling. But the biggest thing is that no matter what we do, we have to control ourselves. If someone gets involved in drugs at the beginning, he cannot make an effort and cannot take drugs like that. If someone gets involved in gambling at the beginning, he must remember at the beginning how much money he will lose and how much he will suffer.
Above all, self-control can protect people from gambling and drugs.

I have not seen any gambler who says their reason for gambling is to raise money for drugs, but it's common to see some people go into some sort of thing because they lose gambling or because they are having some money problem. In the end, everyone is doing what they feel is the right thing to do until some calls them to order and if they are already addicted regular advise might not really help and need to help them seek some professional assistance can come in, we should try to learn how to control ourselves in what ever we're starting new especially read dipper about the effect.

Gambling is a personal decision taken by whosoever wants to gamble and to that effect there are reasons why people engaged in gambling which might be profit making or just for fun, either ways you still have to spend money while doing any of the aforementioned points, in a normal circumstance anyone who gambles under the influence of alcohol and he or she is not in his right senses can't win and would automatically make bad decisions at that moment.

You can't expect results when you don't carefully in your senses select games, it could be fun when you don't gamble for profits then you can as well just gamble under the influence of alcohol because you have nothing to loose. Those that gamble irresponsibly are gamblers who don't have a bankroll Management nor budgets and can't control their emotions they just keep playing and chasing looses without having a direction, all they are after is just to win and recoup what they have lost and that's the most reason for gambling irresponsibly.

Taken alcohol and drugs when gambling is a wrong combo you’re only going to messed yourself up . Because such practice is an harmful one . You can literally get excitement for just gambling alone there’s no need for extra substances and stuff . It can literally lead to alot of stuff like , poor decision making , higher chance of addiction, financial harm, emotional and mental health problems etc. and you don’t want to go through such only the stress In gambling alone is enough .

And I hope that no one is going to end up with that problem. It's a problem that's hard to deal with and if someone puts themselves being so irresponsible to the highest level.

They're going to do all of these things, from being an addicted gambler to being addict to other things.

Because to them, it feels that it's just another normal thing that all of these addictions come along together.

[Sonia_123]

In gambling one needs to have self control if not you end up being controlled by gambling that is where addiction comes in.

A responsible gambler is always knowing when to stop or continue a game he does not allow himself to be carried away by gambling before making a proper management routine by betting with what you can afford to lose.

Irresponsible gamblers allows themselves to be carried away by gambling wins and losses leading them to a huge losses and in the bit to recover becomes addicted adding more problems to themselves.

[Versatile_choice]

Irresponsible gambling is an attitude that is develop over time, I believe everyone joined gambling with the hope and Prayer of staying responsible but with time they started developing this attitude of irresponsible gamblers and that is because they are not discipline enough, anyone who is discipline would stick to responsible gambling until they decide to quit maybe due to old age or for other reasons which is best known to them.

[Rockstarguy]

Irresponsible gambling is not just an attitude problem but the level of understanding about gambling. There are some gamblers who, under normal circumstances, have a good attitude but are not responsible gamblers.

This is because of the way they understand gambling. Gambling responsibly is about how you understand gambling; due to this understanding, you would try your best to be responsible because you are aware of the effects of gambling without control.

[Powerjumboo]

I do not do drugs at all. I gamble while I take alcohol at times, but I am not a gambling addict and I am not wasting money on gambling. There are people that do not take alcohol that are gambling and become a gambling addict. You can be taking alcohol and gamble in a responsible way. Not taking alcohol is not part of how to avoid gambling addiction.

Like you, I also do not drink alcohol and do not take any other intoxicants. I participate in gambling without drinking alcohol and get entertainment from it. I have never gambled irresponsibly in gambling so far. I have gambled responsibly and have used very little money on gambling platforms. When I gamble responsibly, if I drink alcohol, I feel like I will be in a drunken state. I will not be able to enjoy any entertainment at that time. This is my personal opinion. Many people may gamble while drunk, I do not know how they feel.

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

It doesn't sounds healthy for someone to take alcohol before any activities at all, be it gambling or not. It makes no sense at all, once you decide to take pills or cannabis or any form of drugs before gambling is a total disaster. Loosing or predicting wrongly is not the issue here, but repeating the process each time is the problem.

Such gambler might think it's normal doing that, but excessive intake of these pills will get to another level, where gambling will be out of the picture, and then alcohol will remain in his life if proper care and disciplined is not in check.

So you know irresponsible gambling is a personal choice that somehow reflects to ones lifestyles. So I think you should leave alcohol out of it.
As far as I know, I have come across several addicted gamblers within my neighborhoods and had also read about others addicted stories online but rarely finds anyone who takes their blames to alcohol or any substance influence.

Perhaps they have mostly come to blame themselves over their greeds and ignorance with the motives of chasing profits and loosing control of their emotions not to realize they are supposed to bet with what they can afford to loose without being negatively affected in anyways.

So what you described there on the irresponsible gambling is a natured lifestyle while also taking alcohol beyond self control may temporarily put you in the mess without knowing what is going on in the main time.

[Churchillvv]

Most time your behavior reflects everything you do, if you are really a careful person you will be doing things with some level of extra carefulness, you will loss less because you can quit when you see that the next play will lead to another loss but however if you are careless, you will loss and not take cognizant action towards it but sometimes it helps a lot, because it makes you let go of everything and just concentrate on the gambling. The behavior you keep will always determine where you will be, how can one combine two behaviors that are not compatible and then expect to succeed, gambling and getting high! That is totally off and of course I expect no other than loss. So yeah I agree with you that behavior is the key attribute that makes success.

This really depends on the personality of the person. If someone can still control what he is doing even after drinking alcohol, then that would not really be a problem.

I know some people who drink alcohol while gambling in a physical casino and still stay sharp, so we can’t just make the conclusion that it’s always bad for gambling. For some, it even helps them relax and think better. Too much alcohol, that’s where the real problem starts.

[Miles2006]

People with a different mindset about gambling base on the influence of drugs, alcohol etc are causing more harm to themselves, I understand gamblers intend to have a little fun while gambling mainly with friends or colleagues but this is a different kind of situation op is referring to. People who get lost during the act either drinking and at the moment they think gambling with such mood will help win or relieve what ever, at the end of the day such gambler keep losing it as time goes and might experience financial crisis.
People also misunderstand the purpose of gambling along the line, reason why gambling is focus on wealth making by some people and it’s impossible except such person is lucky otherwise winning extremely huge is very rare.
