so that leads to my first question what are the chances of getting carried away as a gambler?.......

It's quite big and indeed will really catch the attention of gamblers to keep playing because of the thrill. But actually, there are a few cases that lead gamblers to get carried away. First, when gamblers feel happy about getting easy wins. And the second is when they lose consecutively and want to chase their losses. So it's not just easy wins that make gamblers get carried away in gambling. Losses can actually be worse in some cases.

I really feel for most gamblers, the thing is gambling takes away any form of caution, it brings the person to a point whereby he can’t control his emotions anymore because of records of loses, a gambler can’t be too careful because his actions ain’t completely controlled by him anymore, just imagine how someone can gamble with money that was contributed for wedding purposes that should hint us that the guy has become completely addicted, his actions are no longer controlled by him, gambling has eaten deep into him, i just feel that if one is addicted to gambling he/she shouldn’t be in custody of so much money or in custody of peoples money because trust me the gambler can’t control himself, he will definitely gamble with the money in his custody, addicted gamblers are always carried away, they lack control over their finances and always end up bankrupt.

Addiction often affects inexperienced people with gaps in their knowledge of probability theory, risk management, and a generally erratic worldview. These inexperienced people are often unable to control their emotions and are susceptible to a wide range of cognitive biases. Using wedding money for gambling is the height of cynicism, the height of poor money management, and the height of emotional instability. The end result of such stories is usually the same: losing all the money. Sometimes this happens immediately, sometimes through interim gains.

​So my second question is, is it really compulsory as a gambler to take a high risk by gambling with money that isn't yours[/b]? .....

This is something I will never do. First of all, its not our money so its not decent or right to be casually gambling on a high stake or like we play that we own the money. I had a cousin who are into investment and she asked our relatives for those who want cause the profit is potentially good and yes she managed to convinced some and later on ending up losing the investment. See why its so hard to do this and its the same in gambling we should tolerate that kind of approach.

There was a story my sister told me about recently this week which, if I may say kept me wondering how some gamblers actually think and to my conclusion I really think it is scary at a high risk.....​Just to keep it brief according to her, she said a friend of hers was given a huge amount of money to hold which was supposed to be a token to someone who was getting married, but then he went on using the entire money to gamble and hopefully he won which was out of luck. So yeah he got a good profit out of a very high risk but still, the funny part of it all is when he gambled again with all the profits he made that was how he lost everything. Hopefully he didn't lose the money that was handed to him .so that leads to my first question what are the chances of getting carried away as a gambler?.......

If a person gambles with the entire amount of funds available to him, it would be a foolish decision. I would call a person who gambles with the entire amount of money he has. Only a addicted gambler who gambles with the entire amount is capable of taking such a big risk. A new gambler would never take such a big risk because he would be afraid of losing.

The first time I bet to test my luck, I started with $1. However, I still avoid making big bets because of the risk of losing money. You can control yourself in gambling if you can set a weekly or monthly budget. Have the mental preparation not to go beyond the set budget and have the determination to control your emotions.

You are right. In fact, a big profit or continuous loss is enough to attract gamblers. People basically get locked into such thoughts and ideas. They cannot get out easily. That is why it is very important to keep control over yourself. A responsible gambler should not be too happy and make decisions based on emotions when he makes extra profit. Similarly, even if he is losing, he should stop betting at the right time and take a break. It is important to keep control over his emotions in both situations. Even if the profit is not high, the amount of loss can be kept within the limit.

As a gambler, you may lose your self-control once in a while which is understandable but gambling with someone's money isn't losing self control it is a sin that you should not even consider doing it. And no this is not the risk that can destroy your character if you get caught so better not to make those mistakes due to your greed.

 A gambler can easily be carried away after several winning, this will boost there confidence and the urge to gambling with the expectations that they are going to win all the time they do bet. Also losing can make a gambler to be carried away, when a gambler lose money on several occasions. They may begin to chase after losses and end up being carried away.
A gambler is supposed to have a set budget of how much they plan to gamble with before they start gambling to avoid being carried away and lastly gambling isn't an everyday thing, when a gambler is gambling every day they will become addicted to gambling and end up been carried away by it.
A gambler is not supposed to gamble with money they can't afford to lose . Therefore it is wrong for a gambler to gamble with money that isn't there's because losing this money will become a problem to them.

Because risking money that isn't yours would indeed cause you issues along the way e.g., getting depressed and so on.

Just getting depressed? No lol, you could end up with a police case if you gamble with money that isn’t yours and then can’t return it to the original owner. How can people be so dumb? I don’t get it.

It’s not your money. Someone trusted it to you with certain responsibilities, and you simply decided to try your luck with it? Hopefully, as OP mentioned, he only lost the profits he made and not the entire original amount. I know gamblers can get greedy when they see a lot of money, but they also need to understand that the money may be intended for something urgent.

It’s not always about getting carried away by the temptation to gamble when you see a large sum of money. Be a responsible gambler and only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

any time I see all these information about gambling it makes gambling more tricky to me. Gambling is not easy because you have to deal with the luck and chances without losing your financial base. Another thing that get people easily carried away is whenf they see big numbers, somebody I know is having issues like this, once he sees any chances of success in gambling whether by his instinct or by the numbers he saw, they will just go into it without check the details or consequences.

Basically I believe temptation is one thing, addiction is another, and overall, being disciplined is what every gambler should ensure to maintain. Because risking money that isn't yours would indeed cause you issues along the way e.g., getting depressed and so on. That said knowing that you can never really 100% certainly analyze your predictions should be a limit to your mind as to how you get funds and how you would gamble with no guarantee if you would make a profit or a loss. To me I see this as an irrational decision that is highly not worth it as a gambler.Well that's all.........
​So my second question is, is it really compulsory as a gambler to take a high risk by gambling with money that isn't yours? .....

There is nothing like temptation in gambling; if you are not disciplined, you are not. People should learn to hold themselves responsible and practice changing their behavior to never repeat certain decisions in gambling and later call them temptations.

Gambling is very risky, and every gambler is aware of this but still chooses to take the risk. If one finds it difficult not to gamble with money that is very important but cannot resist the urge and ends up gambling and winning, the ideal thing is to go home with the profit and come back another time, rather than trying to make more money from the win.

It all matters on how you would really be having the control and moderation on which this is the key for you to be able to find yourself just that simply having no problems on dealing up with gambling. Its normal to be carried away just because you are really that dealing up with something that could neither make you earn or lose money, but we do know that this will be mostly talking about losing much money on which considering that this is the reality of gambling in the first place. As for emotional aspect then it would really be just that normal because losing money could really give out that impulse feeling and getting carried away is that on high chance. If you arent that good when it comes to control or discipline then you are bound on losing up even more because the primary thing that you would be having in mind is on how you would really be able to recover those loses and would really be that depositing even more and thats the common mistake on what gamblers do.

If a gambler suddenly wins on their first bet, the chances are high that their addiction will spiral out of control. Imagine this: this guy simply placed a bet, without thinking twice, and won real money. Money he'd previously only seen every month after hard work.
Now, suddenly, he receives a huge sum and can solve problems he hadn't expected to solve yet. He can buy electronics, fix his car, or get his teeth fixed. The casino has effectively saved him, and of course, this positive effect psychologically binds the gambler to the casino.
