Responsible practices that ensures you remain productive as a gambler

[Juicyhome]

Setting a gambling budget and a time limit for your gambling activities can help keep a gambler from getting addicted. Any gambler that puts gambling first before any other thing is already addicted if not, why will you gamble with your job and stay jobless when gambling cannot put food on your table.

Only gamble at your leisure time and don't make it a most to make profit whenever, you are gambling. Responsible gambling practice should be your priority. Don't be a greedy gambler.

I agree with you mate, this is the best practice anyone can apply to stay positive in gambling without being addicted, you just hailed it, once you take gambling more seriously than your job then you have a problem of addiction
 Gambling should be play when you have done with all your jobs and activities that help your personal life,  because gambling is uncertain and should not be given so much time. Setting a budget to me is also wrong and path of addiction, gambling should be pay with a spare cash not budgeting hard earn money for gambling.

There is no way one can gamble without aiming to make profit, anyone in gambling want to win and make profits, telling a gambler nit to expect profit when gambling is not possible,  the hope to win money keep us in gambling  even when we know that wining is guaranteed, we just keep trying our luck till Will win, with self control to avoid addiction.

Everyone definitely wants to win and make some profits, there is nothing wrong with hoping to make profits, what is wrong is trying to make winning a must like your life depends on it. That is why people are usually advised to have a job because gambling is not a source of income, except if they are working for the casino as employees. For those who already have jobs, yet are gambling with their jobs, they are just exhibiting foolishness. Gambling is a game of luck, why trade something so important as a job for something as unpredictable as gambling? It is good that this act of foolishness comes with a deserving consequence.

The idea of having a separate device is a good thing this will be a form of setting boundaries, because for someone that is addicted to gambling having easy access to a gambling platforms especially during important activities may pose as a distraction since they can't control their gambling habits. It is good to gamble with moderation by having a time frame for gambling by so doing it won't occupy or steal time that is meant for other relevant activities. The most important idea here is that gambling should be done within leisure time and should not become an issue by taking up time that is meant for other relevant activities.

First off, this isn't a s thread of "gambling with what you can afford to lose", I'm not talking about how to reduce gambling loss.

Again I have a time that my gambling must end, as soon as it's 11PM and my sleeping alarm goes off, any gambling activity comes to an end and continues next evening if possible, with the exception of my holidays. It's difficult and painful most times, but keeping to it has really helped.

On the topic of productivity and gambling, I can give two examples of how gamblers can demonstrate their temperament, altered by the game, at work and in casual earnings.

The first case is when a gambler simply loves to play online gambling games and does so even at work. Believe me, I’ve seen people in real life who started doing very poorly at their jobs because they were constantly distracted by gambling, and this happened both during lunchtime and during regular working hours.

And the second case I want to designate is when he becomes extremely gambling and addiction suffocates him very much, then, on the contrary, he becomes productive in life, but this is in a bad way. Because he starts lying to everyone and making money very quickly. But that's only because he takes them away from everyone.

[Hyphen(-)]

I'll go first:
I only gamble after the day's work, mostly at night and to ensure this, I have a separate device which only it has my gambling apps, I don't take it to work, lest I'll be tempted, I also put it away on days I work from home.

Regular gambling is not my thing, I love spit betting because I am a football fan and I play football, but I don’t bet anyhow or everyday because I don’t rely on gambling to earn a living, I bet on matches I am sure if, I mostly bet from time to time; maybe I will have some matches set out earlier in the beginning of the season, I only bet on the matches only because of the interest I have in the matches as they are usually big games and maybe Darby games I am interested in, unlike people who rely on gambling always, they can not control their emotions because they will want to accumulate bigger odds before placing any amount they wish to bet with because the probably have a special target, and usually, long bets do always cut off after some successful games came up through, that is why I prefer to bet only on matches are trust only even though winning is also not guaranteed as well because it’s risky.

Gambling should be free and should have no much hope, in fact anything that you don't control, make sure that you don't put your mind on it. Budget the bankroll you know you can afford, skim at the market options if you are a casino person, pick a game you know you are very good at and do your thing, if you win withdraw the money and do what you want. Some people are going to advice not to withdraw. I prefer to have it outside just to avoid temptation of gambling again.

A good gambler or person that want to know how to have a successful win rate must learn to rest. This gives you room to think well. And lastly, you can be right and still be wrong. I'm saying this regarding to what Arsenal played to with Brighton, honestly it was not expected. The total goal would have been 4 but 1 was block by the bar. This are the kind of result you get and doubt gambling but it doesn't mean you are not good.

I used to love football until recently as I always copy other people bets and notice some dramatic happenings during the weekends. Most people bet on popular events like Premier League, Italy Serie A or Spain La Liga and similar other major leagues and what happens is that most people choose the same events over and over, this resulted in two consecutive weeks dramatic. In a certain week Real Madrid not being able to win against a weaker team send like almost 90 bets to being losing ones simply because of this team and today, well not a great team still one that should have won comfortably lost at home, Nottingham Forest lost 0-1 to Coventry. This resulted to many tickets lost again for me and I can say no matter what type of gambling or betting you are in the end you will be losing money over the long run.

In this thread, I'll want us to discuss some behavioural modifications that we put up to ensure we're not being consumed by our desire to gamble and how we are able to control it in order to remain productive as a person, you can share some of it with us, some people can find what appeals to them and pick up one or two ideas.

I approach gambling the same way I would approach buying a cup of tea or snacks. This kind of mind set helps me alot because I spend a few bucks and play for few minutes just as the way I would do for a cup of tea. With this method I play a maximum of 5 games a day.

I also ensure I gamble at most 4 times in a week and I specifically have a bank account I use for only gambling related activities, this helps me maintain my limit for the week.

[mak013]

First off, this isn't a s thread of "gambling with what you can afford to lose", I'm not talking about how to reduce gambling loss.

I've come to observe that being able to control how gambling encouraged on important things helps gamblers remain productive in other areas of life, including career wise, this is at a time that most gamblers have prioritized gambling over their jobs, families, career, good relationships e.t.c because of over indulgence in gambling at a time they should be attending to other important tasks, some gamblers have made gambling the no.1 activity in their scale of preference and that's costing them a lot already to the extent they start losing interest in their jobs, doing their duties as parents and and other responsibilities.

Most people are underperforming in their jobs, some have been fired already from their jobs and some who are into business lost lots of clients and their businesses stalled. It's possible to find good practices to maintain focus on personal productivity as a gambler.

Most gamblers don't have the kind of problems you're describing. You're not talking about "most gamblers" - you're talking about gambling addicts. If I recall correctly, they make up somewhere between 3 and 12 percent (depending on the source).

That said, for addicts, rules like these can be useful. I'd recommend playing not every day but once a week, for example – and not until 11 p.m., but only for an hour or two.

[JunaidAzizi]

Yeah, buddy, that is the issue. We know a lot of people can't earn from gambling as much as they spend time on it, hoping for profits. In that way, they always end up with losses. But they didn't just lose money they lost much more than that their family, precious time, mental well being, and a lot more. That's why we advise them to not gamble as much. Simply find a good job, invest in yourself, and build your healthy family. I am sure if you invest in yourself and your skills, then you won't need any gambling.

The most important idea here is that gambling should be done within leisure time and should not become an issue by taking up time that is meant for other relevant activities.

If a gambler wants, he can definitely implement his desire in any way, that is, if he takes a separate device and if he does not give importance to the issue of self-control, then he cannot benefit much from a separate device, but yes, those gamblers who lose control over themselves, if they cannot do anything immediately, then they can control themselves a lot. For example, if I do not have a wallet, even if I lose, I will not be able to deposit money again, which can help me stay calm at that time. That is why I think that the gambler must try to give importance to some things. If the gambler has self-control, then that is the most reliable way. Gambling is not a place to earn money, if you spend more than what you afford to lose, it won't be considered entertainment, it will bring bad situations.

What I can think of right now is maintaining a good gambling habit and routine.

Not many gamblers maintain such a habit. Since we carelessly call gambling something we do for fun, we maybe sometime get carried away by that.

It's not really something many will be able to keep up with Because like that say, action speaks louder than words. You could tell yourself that your next gambling activities going forward will be well managed buy still turn out to be a mess.

Gambling has been seen by many people to be a huge source of income but the reality is different from what we anticipate from gambling. It is never a way to make money from gambling and those that understand all it takes will never over gamble it try to misuse the privilege they have gotten to make money through Bitcoin. Anyone can lose money through gambling and truly there is no way to stop the possible loses that can happen when we gamble with our money with the anticipation to become profitable.

[MorganaX]

I have a friend that persistent tells me he gambles for fun and he wins alot especially from sports betting, getting to know him, I have come understand one outrageous and uncontrollable thing he does. Once he wins a bet, he keeps his winning in his wallet and end up gambling it away with the pretext that he is reinvesting.

I think it's one thing we can add to our rulebook in gambling, anytime we take a W, we should ensure that we use the money for something instead of giving it back to the house.

And the most important, we should all learn to take a lose without having the urge to re bet or go again with the mindset to win what was lost

The moment you take gambling as core part of what's gonna get you extra cash then that's the actual money you have signed an never ending contract of not having peace with your time and mental health because it's gonna fucking eat you up crazy and the worst part is that you would want to stop especially when the losses get to you but it takes so much strong will to actually do it, so it's better to see it as something that you just involved yourself just to pass time or when bored.

You’re very correct and I agree with you on this. Sometimes the biggest mistake gambler makes is to see winning as money to reinvest until everything has returned back to the house. Once you win it’s good to take something out and use it for something more important rather than giving it back.
 
And also losing bet should be accepted as part of gambling. Don’t chase after losses and don’t rush to bet because you want to Recover what you have lose. And also know when to stop even if you win or you lose.

Putting one’s money in the gambling arena is a very risky gamble that affects the peace of mind of the gambler. The stress level increases as the money keeps running out, and great mental strength will be needed to detach from emotional attachment before the person loses financial stability.

Looking at gambling positively, as a way of relieving oneself of stress, is the most logical protection. This way of looking at gambling ensures that one does not fall into the grip of financial fixation, and also keeps one mentally healthy.

Everything you said here points to one thing, and that is discipline. In the modern gambling world today where most users are rightfully supposed to be detained in a mental asylum rather than being allowed access to a gambling site, self-made discipline is one thing that can make you stand out. Just because you have enough money to gamble all day doesn't mean you should if you must have a better life, but some don't care and there's nothing wrong with that.

It also depends on what your intent is. I personally think whatever goes beyond having fun is not worth spending more time and money on, and we are not supposed to have fun all day, all year round without doing anything else right?

[Anayochukwu]

I have not seen any gambler that makes gambling their number one priority unless they are winning constantly and have a good winning history that have been able to fund his lifestyle and that of his family too, gambling for some people is for fun while for some other people it's a side hustle and gambling being a side hustle shouldn't take your attention away from the main job that puts food on your table unless you are an irresponsible person that doesn't value your job. Gambling would never be the reason why I'm replaced at work because I'm not a full time gambler and I only gamble when It's necessary and it doesn't take my attention away from family or work.

Gambling on a particular time in a week..
It is best to have a consistent time you turn up for gambling in a week, you don't have to bet randomly on any day. That doesn't seem logical and it can lead to disorganization and inconsistency.
But if you have a particular time you a gamble in a week, especially in sports betting it will make you more productive, for example if you gamble in primer league you should know that your going to be active on weekends where the most matches are played and the other parts of the week should be used for something else other than gambling, that way your gambling journey will beore productive.
