Topic: A tip for staying resposible while gambling. - page 7. (Read 1619 times)

Actually, it doesn't matter if anyone wants to gamble but provided that they must be able to apply self-control with some restrictions that should be done, basically gamblers always want to win but don't want to lose and if they lose then they will not accept it and as a response they will act out of control. Honestly, it doesn't make sense, gambling is a win-lose activity, they should already know this, and that means if the result is losing then you shouldn't be upset because obviously this is just a profit activity that will run randomly. So don't be selfish because this is not a business that can always produce, although maybe in a business it also has a little luck but we must understand gambling is not a business that produces but this is nothing more than entertainment, therefore as a result if you are too serious in gambling then yes as you said they will lose a lot of money.

Yes, self-awareness is important, with it you will not do things out of control because their brains and minds are always running normally and healthily. Although yes it is quite difficult to achieve awareness but there is no other reason they should be able to do it because it is the only thing that can help them. True, it is easy to say but difficult to do but there is no other way.

I mean honestly though if someone is that hard up as a gambler, they probably aren't even going to have the paper note to be able to even place on their monitor without being about to tear that thing down and taking it to the near convenience store / lotto spot to buy a ticket or play a few machine games.

I guess anything is worth a try though.

A gambler's worst moment in gambling is when he wins several gambles, accumulates some money, loses the next gamble and loses all the money. Every gambler should be wary of this. There is no point in us having to continue gambling, sometimes we should take a break. Decision making is easier if we take a break between gambling. Earning money is very difficult, there is no distinction between rich and poor in terms of earning money because both have earned money in different ways and both have worked hard in both ways to earn money. Now if we say that the poor should gamble more cautiously than the rich then it would be wrong, we should say that both gamblers should gamble cautiously. If there is doubt about a gamble then there is simply no need to play that gamble. We will play the gambling that will give us the most guarantee of winning and refrain from the rest.

Yes it is because management will always be very important  in all places, maybe they feel they have the freedom  to do anything because they feel they have the power in terms of a pretty good budget, but I think it's too early to say that, because obviously no matter how much money you have it will be very likely to run out in gambling, casinos like people who have a lot of money but can't manage and apply any discipline,  with that then yes maybe I would also say the same  thing as you, not only wasting time but also the money they have.

But on the other hand the fact is that it is very difficult to be able to apply such management if they come with the wrong mindset, it is clear and the contributing factor in my opinion is because they are too serious in seeing the opportunities that exist in gambling. So what usually happens is just a lot of defeat and pressure that they continue to experience in their gambling activities. That's very bad, so of course like you said, it's better to build a plan and financial management properly and firmly, one of which you can put a small amount to gamble like 5%, with  that then you will be able to become a responsible gambler by being able to accept a defeat that is not too disappointing with a small amount, and also yes will slightly avoid addiction.

Everything would matter with self discipline and control and if you do treat gambling in the first place on being a main source of income or making you that rich then you would definitely be that making
more mistakes along the way. You would really be needing to have that self realization on how you should really be treating gambling on a certain manner on which you wont really be that making yourself that get addicted along the way. Being responsible might really that sound too easy to say but it is really that hard to do when you are really on the actual situation on which you would really be changing up those mindsets on the way on which it is really that a common situation that you would really be facing on the time that you do make some gambling.

Yeah, they're like that and if it helps you to remember things about being responsible or with the task that you need to remember like to gamble only with certain money you have then it will help you. But just as you have said that you don't have any problems with gambling so, that's good to hear you out that you are not dealing with such problems because unlike other gamblers, they need to be reminded all over again for so many times until they get better in remembering that they need to be responsible as they gamble.

Someone might try it if it's going to work for them. Like what they say, if it works, it's not stupid at all because it's helping you. And if some other forum members try it and it's working on their end, then that only means that they just need to do as exact what he has said and look if the outcome will be the same as his.

Having a budget without being discipline is a waste of time. It is Also good when we follow gambling plans to stay healthy as a gambler. Those that had been in gambling for long knows how to organize themselves to stay feet to gamble and make profits for themselves. There are different ways for us to stay safe in the industry so that we don't become a frequent gambler that could make us become an addict. Gambling Psychology can also help us to gamble responsibly and not take gambling too seriously in a way that could attract more loses for us.

Yes, the experience of other users is certainly good, but sometimes, especially newbies and inexperienced players first test their theories in practice in the gambling. And only after they have lost a large amount of money do they go to the forums to ask for advice from more experienced players. Or find other answers to your questions. Of course it would be better if everyone went to the forum first before playing, but this will not happen.

Of course, the environment of friends and family influences this, but I have seen many examples when players from prosperous families fell to the bottom and even they could not help him.

That should be clear enough evidence to make those who have just come not to overdo it as one of the preventive measures to be able to avoid such problems. There have been many cases of downturns from other people that should be a strong example for them not to do or follow in the wrong footsteps they have done. Because obviously, if you are too late to take such precautions then obviously you will regret it when you have entered the addiction phase, it is very bad and not everyone is able to withstand all the mental pressure that is there.

And yes your statement makes sense, social relationships are very important, with you building good relationships with others and getting real friends then I think they will be able to contribute greatly when you experience problems especially in gambling, they will be the ones who keep reminding you of something better that should be done.  Don't let yourself be quenched by lust in gambling, at least there should be a place for you to tell all the things you want to do or even some problems that are happening to you, they will give you the advice you need. Yes, usually the main mistake is that they come without having any understanding of gambling, especially not understanding the risks that you cannot avoid at any time.

Yes, seeing the experiences of gamblers around us can help us to control ourselves in carrying out gambling activities and prevent us from becoming addicted. On the other hand, we will also understand what good steps we can take so that we don't harm ourselves or are not the same as experienced gamblers who have experienced big losses.

It is certain that if a gambler does not have many friends or does not socialize with friends or relatives, it is very likely that he will become an addict, because he does not have extensive knowledge about gambling so he will easily play as he pleases without good control. Therefore, good knowledge and understanding will lead a gambler to behave responsibly and wisely.

I know about sticky notes being placed on the computer screen or certain places in the home to help get you to remember important things that needs to get done.
Your technique is new to me but it has little similarities and benefits like the sticky notes. Thankfully, I haven’t got any problems with the way I gamble but for others who may have, it’s worth trying out. It worked for the OP, it could work for you as well.

Reading some of the replies on the thread,  it wouldn’t be surprising to have people who would stick the currency note to serve as a reminder only to later take it down when funds are low to use it to place new bets.

Well, I honestly will not give this kind of advice because it could be contradicting, contradicting in the sense that, different gamblers may see and understand it in different ways.
For example, one gambler may see and understand this exactly the same way you have explained it, he or she may draw him or herself back from gambling after he or she remembers that he or she has alot to do with money, just as you have said.

But on the other hand, another gambler, realizing that he or she has alot to do with money may be the trigger to gamble even more, in hopes that he or she will win money enough to solve all the financial problems he or she has, for gamblers in this category, I would personally assume that they are addicts, or about to become addicts, they see gambling  as a source of income, rather than a means of having fun or self entertainment.

I think the correlation in gambling by sticking money on the monitor and emphasizing yourself that finding money is difficult then don't gamble, I think if you really are someone who understands money is difficult to get, gambling is the wrong place to visit, because basically Gambling is a place for people who want to spend their money on pleasure, and they only use a small percentage of money they have that day.

If someone is still hesitant in managing themselves and does not know how to arrange risk profiles, gambling is a bad place to find fun for people like that.
Logic is simple if for those of you gambling will have a bad impact on your finances or psychological, I don't think you need to visit the casino.

Nice tips y'all got for gamblers to responsible while gambling and I also have one that I'll be sharing now. We all know that despite how financially stable we are, there's always a need for more to use and settle some personal bills so whenever a gambler is gambling, he should first of all dedicate a certain amount of money for his gambling activity and when the money is exhausted, he should try to remember other personal financial needs of his and that'll help him to rather not continue to gamble more since he has other pressing issues that requires money to finish up with

One of the most important tips I've ever heard in the space.

Let me also add that one should have a budget and have to be disciplined enough to mIntain the budget as it is of no use to have a budget and not strictly adhere to it.

Also remind yourself of the need for psychological balance, if anything strays you away from your mental fitness, then avoid gambling cos you might regret it later.

Yes that is a very good scenario for prevention, because yes if you want to do something then it is not enough if only with intention, but on the other hand something will be realized if it is accompanied by some actions that will be a big driver for a more definite change. As you said and you have managed to diet by applying a lot of restrictions on the food you want to consume, and even you even wrote a note in front of the refrigerator just to make sure you don't forget your plan, with that action then I think you have a very good firmness in implementing the plan that you have made.

And yes, this kind of scenario can be applied to our gambling involvement in terms of preventive measures so as not to experience unexpected things, because of course if you  cannot take any precautions in your gambling involvement then obviously I cannot imagine what problems you will experience as a result of the risk of gambling. Although this is not easy and may be very difficult for some people to do, but I think on the other hand this is a very good alternative. I'm sure they don't want to always experience financial problems just because of gambling, and therefore this is one of the best ways for them to slightly reduce the impact of their gambling involvement.

That was too realistic because many people even just a small amount and with only minimum wages still use their money to gamble thinking they could be lucky and win the jackpot prize. But gambling is not just for rich people, everyone is welcome and it's up to us how to manage ourselves. The only thing we can do is to help them become responsible enough because yes, it was really hard to make money but just lost in one day or even just an hour in gambling. It doesn't matter for rich people but the main concern here is for those who have limited sources of income.

There are several tips that can be taken from several communities in this thread, of course, all of this is to be consistent in order to remain responsible when gambling, that's why always use money that is ready to be lost and at least limit the budget so that it is easier to stop gambling when the money has run out, it is not a cowardly attitude to stop playing in the middle of the game, consistent with the budget that has been limited if you lose it is better to leave.

The longer the game continues, the more fatal it will be and there are many risks that must be faced, so play with limited risks and don't play too many risks because that might make us go bankrupt, eliminate greed and also avoid anything that can make us addicted, gambling must be restricted otherwise it will make it difficult to play responsibly.

While I agree that this actually works because money that isn’t cash is easy to transact without feeling it’s worth, however, they can implement other strategies as there as so many to choose from. I’m only saying this because some people gamble with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Are you saying they should drop using Bitcoin (which is a good thing) and switch to fiat? So, there are varieties of other options to choose from.

He is indirectly suggesting demo gambling if there is anything like that such as we have in trading. Just like you said, this will hardly help in anyway rather it  will make the entire gambling process appear like a joke.

Anyone going into gambling knows it involves putting money to get bigger money. You can lose the money you put that is part of the process. Anyone not ready to accept the risk involved in gambling should stay away from gambling.

 It is therefore expected that one gamble with the amount he can afford to lose and not be in trouble. Many pattern of gambling have been suggested here that can help one overcome greed and gambling addiction. It is just to develop the courage to follow them.
