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

[obuoma]

The early days of every player play significant role in their entire gamblig life. If a player starts with some early easy wins, he is most likely going to be reckless and possibly get carried away in the game. On the other hand, if a player experience turbulence in his early days, he will appreciate the complexity of gambling and likely give it the complete discipline it deserves. So, the beginning sometimes justifies the end, although there are some exceptions since some people already have financial discipline as a way of life.

The first question:

The chances will be higher of getting carried away as a gambler because when someone play gambling, they will slowly lose control, the curiosity increases especially if they losing streak, and that can makes them using more money. @OP gives the example what happens to his friend.

The second question:

No compulsory to take a high risks by gambling with money that isn't yours so you need to prevents that because the chances of losing the money will be there but the winning will be uncertainty. You will not have a big chances to win instead just losing the money, that is not your money so don't use it to gamble.

Using another person's money to gamble is the biggest risk that any gambler can take . Although there are people who do that , and most times, they end up paying dept for the money they did not benefit from. Once, a colleague also told me the same story where he was going to deposit money in the bank, and a friend called him to meet him in the gambling shop, he went, and finally joined his friend to gamble, and eventually he lost the money he was suppose to deposit in the bank to gambling site.
There are numerous stories that are similar to this, and all is as a result of Indiscipline In the part of the gambler. There are also situations where gamblers incure dept just to gamble, and we should learn how to be responsible gambler.
Honestly your friend took a very bad risk by using another person's money meant for more important thing to gamble, and that is an act of indiscipline, and a way of betraying trust. However, he is lucky enough that the money entrusted to him was not lost.

​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]? .....

You don't need to gamble with any funds that you cannot afford to lose because it will affect you big time if you don't win your bet and that is what I call double losses since, you have to pay back the money to the owner.

The guy in the OP, is lucky because he won his bet and made a good profit that could enable him continue gambling. The good side of it is that, he had self control over his gambling activities and did not try to use the money to chase his losses but that was a big risk though.

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

There's nothing that warrant us to get carried away as a gambler except being indiscipline enough, we are expecting not to always go for anything we see that is attractive to us except we take time to understand the condition that is attached, but most Gambler often take it in a one-way direction without thinking for the possible outcome in other ways, through our personal emotions and how we allow this to control us in gambling decisions makes us get carried away easily.

is it really compulsory as a gambler to take a high risk by gambling with money that isn't yours? .....

Irresponsible Gambler will not think of using someone's money that does not belongs to him to gamble, this is extremely high risk, in gambling we stand the chance of losing more than winning, diversion of fund not meant for gambling by irresponsible gamblers should not be allowed.

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?.......


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? .....

Temptation really does something different to any person, especially in such cases where someone has entrusted us and used it to gamble, the risk we will take is really high because there are many consequences that can happen.

It would have been okay if the first attempt he gambled was that he only won what he used the second time he gambled again, but if he still used everything,
it would be a pretty bitter defeat, honestly,

[Barikui1]

This is not just craziness but  it's very irresponsible for anyone to gamble with a money that is not his, because if he has lost the bet, he would have been in a serious problem with the owner of that money, because he must find a way to pay back the money to the owner, when he needs it back. The cause of most gamblers running into trouble is because of things like this, which is by gambling with a money they cannot afford to lose, because it's very obvious that he can't afford to lose that money.

On the aspect of getting carried away, few things may be the cause of it, like chasing a loss or following an opportunity you believe may play out, but in the end, it may not go as you planned, and you start counting your loss after then.

[TopTort777]

Have you noticed how popular among gamblers it is to gamble with not your own money, but money that belong to others and were suppose to be used. I mean people have money that they hold or give someone for hold - gamblers rarely use that money. But money used to pay for study, to pay rent, to pay for wedding planning, to repay loan - all those money with high chance get into gambling. Those crazy gamblers not just make situation bad, they prefer to turn everything as worse as possible

[TheUltraElite]

It is wrong to use money owned by someone given to you for safekeeping to gamble as far as I am concerned.

Such people would lose the trust of their near and dear ones and would not be willing to trust this person in future, gambler or no gambler. It is just wrong to wager money belonging to someone else who has not loaned it for your personal use for the time being.

Losing that money means putting your own neck on the line. The fun soon becomes despair.

It is absolutely wrong to gamble with someone's money. That's the worst thing a gambler would ever thought of. No matter how sure you think the game are, never go extra mile with money that doesn't belong to you. Talking risk in gambling is not bad, but let it be your own money-money that wouldn't affect you negatively if the game doesn't work out for you.

Because gambling is not a source of income, without luck on your side, it will definitely not going to be possible for you at all. Sometimes I don't know why most gamblers normally forget about this and end up regretting it. He made a smart move by doubling the money, but he didn't know when to stop and call it a day.

It is not good to use other people's money just to gamble in any kind of online casino. And any friend would be angry if that happened, because what would the person who trusted us to handle
the money think, right?

Our friend or acquaintance will lose trust, what would they think that we cannot be trusted to handle money and then we will use it to gamble, even if we say that we will pay them
because we lost in gambling because we used their money. This is not a good habit, really.

[Powerjumboo]

In answer to your first question, a gambler can lose control of his gambling at any time. People start gambling for entertainment, some for money, but no matter how they start gambling, people can lose control of their gambling at any time.

In answer to your second question, you should never gamble with other people's money. When someone puts money in your bank account, you should keep it as a deposit and not use it for gambling or household purposes. Especially in gambling, you should not gamble with other people's money at all because when you gamble with other people's money, you will lose that money by gambling and if the owner of your money asks you for it, if you cannot pay him at that time, you will become a traitor to him and he will not be able to trust you.

Irresponsible and addicted gamblers, such behavioural pattern is only common among those gamblers who are either irresponsible or addicted, cos when you say the behavior is popular among gamblers, you’re almost saying that it’s common among all gamblers, which of course isn’t close to being true. There are still several gamblers who you can entrust money into their hands and they’ll never think of using that money to gamble.

[goldkingcoiner]

"What are the chances of getting carried away as a gambler?" is an extremely ironic topic. You might as well ask what are the odds and who is willing to bet against me 

But to answer your question, it depends. It depends on your personal situation, your affinity for addiction, your emotional and physical state and many more things. There is definitely a difference between gambling once a week as a sober, rare gambler and gambling everyday while drunk, angry and with a genetic likelyhood of developing an addiction.

Sometimes all it takes to get carried away is a single bet for "all-in" at the heat of the moment.

Losing that money means putting your own neck on the line. The fun soon becomes despair.

Sometimes, I do wonder how can a gambler just use money that is not their to gamble, with a false hope that they will win, when they are fully aware that gambling is not a game one can just predict about, whatever outcome they brought on themselves, they are to just take responsibility of it because their carelessness lead them there, living a life where one can't fully be trusted about something, its so painful and frustrating, that is why people use make use of their money if they can't control their urge to gamble rather to use others money for the sake of their reputation.

[Oasisman]

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

Depends, if you lose your sanity, then you would feel no shame of spending the money that isn't yours.
IMO, it's a kind of sign for gambling addiction. The incontrollable urge to gamble would lead them to spend every money they see. That action is very wrong and that person should face some legal consequences.

​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? .....

Compulsory? Nah, there's no such thing as that. Not your money, you have no right to touch it or even spend it initially and plan to pay it afterwards.

Same scenario when gamblers loan money just to gamble. Their urge gamble is much stronger compared to taking responsibility on the money entrusted to them.

Many gambler are confident that they will not lose if they will just play safe that’s why it creates an illusion of control in the game until the game quickly escalated when losing streak occurs.

Absolutely right, before one can decide to gamble, they are to understand what gambling is, in every details, when they got the understanding that gambling is not a source where one can be making money and still insist to fight in order to make money and even to go the extent of using money that doesn't belong them to gamble, they will have to face the consequences of gambling, because gambling doesn't pity anyone or even consider that one is not gambling with their money, gambling doesn't care about that, if one is not doing what they are meant to do, they will also get what they did not actually sign for, so its good for one to have the right mindset towards gambling and bet with their money and have that mindset that they can't double their money in gambling except luck is on their side.

[danherbias07]

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

Always. When a gambler starts his gambling session, and he is winning, the chances of it getting stuck in his head is high. The thought of winning more will linger. Even if he has already stopped and is trying to control his urge, he may come back and try to win more.
I can say that because I have been there many times.

​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? .....

This is wrong. If the money isn't yours, do not gamble it. It can create more problems if the money is lost. The other problem is lying. The gambler will probably tell another story, like losing the money by a different method, or using it for something else, like a sick relative or an emergency. It can cause trust issues and will probably pollute the relationship.

Gamble your own money.

[Somegory]

If I have to rate the possibility of getting addicted to gambling it will be solid 80/100, it doesn't cost a thing to lost your head in gambling and start going around in circles, the likes of those who don't have source of income or they just want to get rich through gambling.

Once you have a price target in mind you have already open a door that you are likely never going to close ever again, it starts with dream and desires from gambling results.

That's all it takes, to be free from this you need to have your own source of income and also you need to be satisfied with what you are making, you also need to be completely free from gambling emotions, don't even get attached.
