Do gamblers only learn discipline after losing badly?

[Cassius55]

Gambling is an addiction, it is full of young guys that gambling in every situation of life, from football, to horses and lottery. In future this will be a social plague where more players will be very young and with huge amount of money out of their hand. A regolamentation is very difficult with a great number of no kyc casino that is a good from a face but a problem in another face. No limit of age work well if controls is easily bypassed and there is a real interest to regulated the gambling to defend the younger people.

Let’s be honest, most gamblers don’t really care about limits when they are still winning or when the losses are still small.

It’s always “I can stop anytime” or “I’ll just recover this one first.” But once the loss becomes heavy, that’s when all the lessons suddenly become clear. Bankroll management, self-control, knowing when to stop, all those things we ignored before.

Funny thing is, many of us already know the advice. We just don’t take it seriously until it hurts.

So maybe gambling discipline is not really learned from reading tips, but from getting burned once or twice.

Has that happened to you too, or were you able to control yourself before reaching that point?

Well, if we are to spill the fact, one will say many gamblers only become disciplined after a painful loss. When things are going well, people often ignore bankroll management and keep chasing bigger wins because they feel lucky. Take a person who turns $20 into $120 and instead of withdrawing some profit, the person might just keeps on betting until everything is gone. It is usually after experiences like that that they start taking limits and self control seriously.

Yes, a painful loss makes a gambler to start disciplined. When things are going well gamblers might not know that gambling involves losses than winnings, that's just how it has been.To be honest an example like turning $20 into $120 and still ending up losing can easily make a gambler believe that self control and discipline are very necessary. That's when you start calculating what you have been using your money for.

Hmmm that true, a painful loss can actually reset the brain of a gambler who also understands the value of protecting what they already have. Sometimes some experience are worth having to teach us raw lessons so we have a genuine reference to point back to when similar situations arise. It's possible you might be advising someone about gambling that they should manage their risk properly and they could play deaf ears until they gamble for a while and realize that the loses comes spontaneously, that why if I give advice and you argue without a motive of trying to learn I just ignore the argument and move on majority of the time they'll later admit your point of view.

To be honest majority of Gambler are a victim of this case. They try to become disciplined when they have lose to the point there decision isn't helpful anymore. It is more of medicine after death just like people say. What is the point procrastinating decipline until you have lost to that point when you would try to follow your personal decipline. Decipline are best respected when used at the right Time.
