What are the chances of getting carried away as a gambler?....

[Awaklara]

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.

[Proty]

 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.

[Nrcewker]

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.

[Zadicar]

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.

[Bryan jessy]

Chances of getting carried away as gambler is very high most especially an addict who will never stop gambling until he looses all the money and even the profit he made from the previous ones, aside addiction greed is also one of the factors that can influence it, lacking contentment and continue gambling even after winning huge amount.
And the most scary one is gambling with money that is not yours, that was uncalled for imagine the owner of the money requested for it and the guy could not provide it again that would have resulted to a serious issue and what if he lost all the money in the first attempt, honestly this kind of risk is not worth taking at especially if the money is not a personal money.

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.

You are right. I think the incident that OP quoted is irrelevant because betting so much money is probably an unusual and irresponsible thing for a gambler. In real life, you have to be responsible to survive. Consider gambling as entertainment rather than a means of earning money because the purpose of earning money can easily turn you into an addicted gambler. Whether the money is your own or someone else's, you should be careful and responsible in spending that money because responsible people can reach a good position in society and are known as trustworthy people by others.

[Outhue]

Very high, way better for someone who have prepared their mind and already know that gambling is very risky and they can lose alot of money and also their mindset, the fear of gambling is the beginning of wisdom honestly because there is a big chance that you will be drawn in and you won't be able to let go either you are winning or losing it doesn't matter. The only difference between winning and losing is that you will become hooked if you win as a first time gambler,  it's likely that winners get addicted to gambling faster than those who lose on their first tries.

The chances are way too high, and that is why discipline is really really paramount when it comes to gambling..  A lot of people have made silly mistakes just because they got carried away.. Most times it starts when they make some profit at first, they’ll then begin to feel unstoppable, then they start taking bigger risks without thinking properly..

As a gambler, you just have to stay conscious every time and know when enough is enough. And getting carried away is very very easy..

[Ishicryptic]

You have to understand that basically we have two types of gamblers and they are the responsible and irresponsible gamblers, everything that you mentioned in the OP have to do with irresponsible gambling, when a gambler doesn't have a control over his gambling it becomes irresponsible gambling. Firstly it is very wrong to gamble with money that doesn't belong to you because gambling wins are by luck, there is a higher chance that you will lose it. Secondly you shouldn't gamble with your wins because there is a higher chance that you will also lose it so if you win you should take it, only gamble from your bankroll. In Summary we shouldn't chase loses or be overconfident in gambling because it mostly leads to loses.

Another story from the category of true stories?

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.

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?.......

So, did he lose his deposit and winnings, or just his winnings? You've confused me a bit. Although, I doubt that, like any gambler, he could resist losing literally all his bet.

Basically I believe temptation is one thing, addiction is another, and overall, being disciplined is what every gambler should ensure to maintain.

The first leads to the second, and the third allows to protect yourself from the previous points.

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

For example, the risk of losing fingers (for starters).

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.

But every gambler thinks that he knows the outcome of the event with 200% certainty.

​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 should be called ultra-high risk. Should never gamble with other people's money. This should be accepted as the fundamental law of gambling.

I disagree, when the money is ours we can do whatever we want and we will face the consequences but taking someone's money isn't a normal thing to do and even if you are holding for the limited time still you should not touch it because it doesn't matter you win or lose that money, if someone found about this incident you will be seen as irresponsible person and no one will ever trust with anything you for very long.

Gambling with other people's money? I’ve been there—I know exactly what it’s like. The outcome? Losing every last cent. And where did I get the money? A massive bank loan. That’s right... I took it and threw it all away. Down to the very last penny. Just imagine my situation: no job and no money to live on. I had good intentions, but things turned out the same old way. You should never gamble with other people's money. It’s a road to nowhere. It leads to the most severe and tragic consequences.
