it's not easy to be a gambler who is responsible because they have to fight themselves. even tips like this are actually not helpful if it is not based on the discipline of the gambler itself. it was formed from a young age, if a person is used to discipline and understand his responsibilities, it certainly will not be difficult for him to be a responsible gambler. but if he is not used to discipline and tends to not be able to control his behavior, it will be difficult for him to be a gambler who is responsible.
This tip might be effective to some gambler because everybody don't act the same way. For me a picture of my immediate family members at the front of my screen will be more effective than sticking money on the system. Seeing my dependants will always remind me that I have bills to pay which will help me to control my gambling behavior. Some persons might react differently to this my strategy, the picture might be a motivation for them to gamble more because they will think that gambling more will give them the chances to win and take good care of the family.
This is completely true and I totally agree with you, it is commonly said that, as our faces are different, so is our desires, so do we react to different issues differently, and also, so does the same thing mean differently for most of us.
Responsible gambling is in the mindset for some people, and for others, it's in their pocket, what do I mean by this? For some people, based on their upbringing and the way they got in to gambling, they are naturally programed responsible gamblers, it is already installed in their mind to never gamble above their limits.
While for some other people, responsible gambling is in thier pocket in the sense that, they only become, or act like they are responsible gamblers only when they are short of money, when they lack money, they try to manage themselves by gambling within their limit, but immediately a significant amount of money comes their way, they lose themselves, and start gambling way above their limit.
I know this from experience, I have a friend like this, who is only responsible, or pretend to be a responsible gambler when he lacks money, but any week enough money comes into his hands, he will become really crazy with gambling. We have many gamblers who are like this.
