Topic: Are you developing as a player? - page 3. (Read 1493 times)

I have always been interested in developing as a player because I am not ready to stand still and make the same mistakes. Of course, at the very beginning of my gambling journey, I probably made all the mistakes I could, and now I understand what new players have to go through. Despite this, any player should learn to draw conclusions and train better on a small bankroll. It is also necessary to divide the games into those that are completely dependent on luck and those in which you can earn money with your professional game after long training, learning and your emotional stability. I would advise paying attention to poker and blackjack.

If we do really speak about into those games that would really be worthy for you to make yourself having that kind of improvement or development then it will really be that ideal or something applicable into the games
on which you could really be able to improve yourself and could really be that beneficial if you are really that trying out to make gambling as a career or something that you would really be trying out to be that profitable in long term. Gambling isnt something that you could rely upon but we cant be able to deny that when it comes to those professional card based gamers and to those sports better then its something that you could be able to have that edge among others. Speaking about developments about being a responsible gambler or similar aspect then it will really be just that depending on you on how you would be finding yourself having such situation.

Gambling is really that something that just for the sake of fun and not something that would really be good for long term runs or simply making up some wish about being profitable with it.
If you would really be having this kind of mindset or kind of approach towards it, then you would really be definitely be having that kind of different outcomes or experience on which its not something that will be beneficial
for you. This is why its really that important that you do really know on what you are really that dealing and act accordingly on which you do seem that it will beneficial.

More good to say that its fine to allow them to gamble if that's what they like and we should not feel pity or anything negative towards the activities they do. Since same as them we also experience the same situation. They also know the risk and sometimes they just want to experience things to know if they can get something from it or not. For sure learnings will came later on if they experience the worse. And it will be up to the person if they decide to stop or continue by using small amount then make sure that they are in total control of each actions they do.

Its important to learn then weight and choose what's best for us that's why lot came up on some thoughts that gambling is for entertainment that's why some people manage to be in control and avoid to waste a lot of money or go to addiction stage.

I started gambling only when I felt ready, all the days of my life living under my father's roof I have always been warned by him to never go near gambling, in my family few people turned into gambling addict and it ruined their lives, till now they are not balanced yet.

Now that my father is no more I've promised myself to never allow such thing to happen to me, I started gambling with the mind that I will never get addicted, I believe this is why till now I've not fallen victim to any addiction, i prefer to quit gambling either I win or not, once I reach my limit I am taking my leave.

I think there is nothing to get improve about in the gambling space, the preparation and development won't stop you from losing money anyway, strategy and technics? These will only get you fooled into thinking that you can handle it all.

What are you saying? I purposely replied to your post even as unclear as it is for you to expatiate on it as it all looks confusing. The reason is that I am so curious to know how your development in gambling helps your scope of programming to the point that it helps you widen the initiatives by "critical and logical thinking" as you called them. For me, I see no correlation here but it would be so helpful if you could explain yourself better, after all, no one knows it all, let me learn from you.

When it comes to poker I can say I have improved a lot and I continue to improve when I play poker. However , when it comes to casino I don't even know how to play roulette and the only thing I'm decent is BlackJack but other than this ,I really have no skills in casino because I really don't play slots roulette etc.

Now , when it comes to sports betting , I can say no matter how good you get , no matter how much you watch some certain teams and no matter how confident you are on your picks ....in the end I think it's just about luck and on the last places we find confidence , strategies and other factors.

Self control is a character that gamblers really needs to develop because when one lacks this habit it can really cause a lot damages very difficult to come out from it. Accepting loses is another development gamblers needs to crave for and put it in practice, infact not just Accepting loses but also learn to play with the amount you can afford to lose. I think it is very important for gamblers to be very conscious with their gambling lifestyle to check their self if their is an ammendment that needs to be done that will improve a good gambling lifestyle. I appreciate gamblers who make sures they develop a good gambling pattern.

Firstly, I have learnt so many things compared to the past alot has really been learnt over the years of gambling,

I am progressing because there are so many improvements in all ramifications, such as the following:

Such as the risk management and the money management and more especially the emotional aspects too

Well losses at most times keeps me out of the for he who fights and and run away lives to fight to another day hence am not completely nock out of the game.

Your losses are your losses and your winning are just your winning recovering losses is just a matter of time for others because as for me am my winning is more than my losses ever since I started gambling.

Hahahahah getting better in predictions yeah some times I do forget or get carried away to try other strategies though not always as good as the one am more used to then I ended going back to the one that works for me most.

You didn't only develop as a gambler but also as a person. You went overboard by placing irresponsible bets and gambling more than you should have, ending up addicted, but in the end, you managed to overcome your addiction and set boundaries. This means much more than earning a few games or matches; it means that you developed self-control through your misconduct, which may assist you later on in life. 

Unfortunately, it's extremely easy to be fooled as a newbie gambler and fall into the trap of beginner's luck. The first few victories motivate you and make you thirsty for more, and ultimately, if you do not control it, it slowly consumes you, leading to addiction.

It's of no importance to pity people in a situation like that, as the lessons that comes with it, could change the player's thoughts of gambling for life. However, commendably, you've made a nice shift to a better gambling stage, by letting go such a perspective, which have ruined most gamblers like a plaque.

Sometimes things like this can always happen because of a less objective assessment of something or it could be because the club we always support is one of the favorites so even if we lose we are still confident enough to do it but this is precisely what is a small disturbance indirectly.

This has happened to me on a number of occasions including last season where I was less than objective in the Bundesliga especially when Union Berlin were playing.

Honestly, this can be avoided but on the other hand, it can also eventually become complicated because sometimes even though we realize this is a mistake but when our thoughts are always focused on an indication where there is a lack of research on the club we like, things like this will continue to happen again and again which makes objectivity weaker when betting.

Yes, I think I agree with you on this, and the only development that I think is not wrong to do is when your development goal leads to something good like making yourself more developed in terms of preventive measures by prioritizing it, but if your development goal is to achieve more wins then I think in the end it will most likely just be a waste of time. On the other hand, yes I understand that skills are needed in sports, but they should not be prioritized, in any type of gambling a gambler is required to be better at enjoying whatever the situation is, winning or losing, because I think even though you have good development in terms of skills, it does not mean that you will be completely free from the possibility of losing, and another thing I believe is when you dedicate yourself seriously to getting more wins then one thing is that there is a big possibility of an emotional reaction that will occur when you are experiencing defeat and of course that can be a more serious problem, so it is better to make gambling a form of entertainment without caring too much about the chances of winning.

I am very happy on the area which i have developed as a gambler because I could remember when i started gambling, I gamble excessively which brought losses upon losses and I became addicted. It took some time for me to overcome addiction and that has thought me a big lesson in life.

I can control myself when gambling by using the amount of money that i can avoid to lose and also setting time limits for my gambling activities. This alone makes me feel happy and stay free from much losses. There is no how a gambler will develop his skill in gambling, his losses will still be higher than his wins.

That kind of feeling is really needed, rather than just chasing a win on every bet.
There is no situation that always has to be won, sometimes luck will not be on the side even if the team chosen as a bet is the best team.

I also do bets only as entertainment and there will be no pressure and necessity to win,
the main goal is to enjoy the match and if win it is a bonus that I get.

Only a small amount of money I use to bet on football predictions and some games like slots, dice, Blackjack etc.
And I was also aware that forcing something to keep winning would bring me to a detrimental level of addiction.

Is it really possible to eliminate the fact of accepting that betting to win in the sports bets are lied on lucky? Whether yes or no, I'm sure that  I've learnt within my gambling experience and that's self control when realizing that as the profit flows or as I'm catched up with my goals, if I'm not being careful I may be loosing in a long run due to over confidence that everyday would be a cash out days.
I've also learnt how to accept losses and when taking a risk, I should only indulge on activities that I'd be affordable at lost.
And yes, looses does keep me out of the games because I can't afford to continue loosing knowing I'm staking with my money.

That's why I see it as more or less of an instinct than skills when it comes to choosing a winning team/game. It's instinct and luck. There's no level of skill that can make anyone know what another person has going on in their mind and that's why outcome of games depend on luck and chance.

That's the best way to go about it. Just chill and see it as a leisure than as, "a must win situation thing". That way, one isn't pressured into anything and addiction is put under control.

I am not developing as a player, because I believe that sports betting is just entertainment, not work. That's why I'm not betting any huge sums. And I don't do any thoughtful analyses of teams and players. I just enjoy the winnings, albeit small ones. I don't think it's necessary to make betting your profession or devote a huge portion of your time to it. However, I do not exclude that there are people who can think exactly the opposite..

Right out of the box, I have also ended up noticing that the less frequently I gamble the better, this is why I believe that gambling on its own is like a hidden force that drives people to just keep risking all they can, if care isn't taken this is how people end up becoming an addicted gambler.

At first, I struggled, staying on a particular amount of money every time you gamble can be very hard, especially if you are someone who makes money, I mean a good amount of money every week or monthly, that feeling of keep trying was a war I fought for the first few weeks until I get used to it, in the end, I suspected that it was because I intended to make money from gambling.

Later I ended up lowering the time I spent on gambling activities and I have felt better since then, I pity people who are new to gambling, that spirit of ' I want to hit it big' will take over your mind and God helps you, if you don't fight this battle first you could end up losing yourself.

It's amazing that you haven't experienced the fun of sports betting yet. Many of my friends including me have made a lot of income from this betting. Yes physical bet is very popular and people enjoy playing at fixed locations and betting with each other it can be one of the ways to earn money. I have a group of friends and get together to place bets on fixed gambling games and enjoy physical gambling and of course we refrain from overstepping our limits because we all have families. There will a massive crowd at the designated venue for the upcoming big game. I usually prepare for that time. I think this betting involves only entertainment and feeling of joy.

Not today, but over the years I have changed.  When I played poker there was a time when I improved as a player. As for casino games, fortunately, instead of ending badly, over time I have been gambling less frequently, always with money I could afford, and knowing how to stop in time.
