Topic: Be a Responsible Gambler - page 8. (Read 6791 times)

I absolutely agree with you. It annoys me that some gamblers are still willing to give their money to those cheaters. Btw, they keep popping up on this forum too. When asked, "If you know a winning strategy why don't you use it yourself to make money?", they respond they were banned from all gambling platforms in their country and all that crap. I mean, c'mon! Who can fall for that garbage these days?

I think it's a part of being a responsible gambler: to not trust those clowns.

Who would be the one to think that business is worst that gambling? They are both different things on the first place and talking about potential income then nothing can beat out about being sustainable
in long term.

If you do just use your own common sense then you could able to tell on which one would be worth and to treat out that gambling is just really good for entertainment.

Separate your priorities into your leisure time and you do know on how to handle your finances well.

I didn't state "free" money but enough money (sufficient fund). In my opinion, it is better to collect money from our job salary or any other sources, except a loan. When we already have enough money, then we can start a business. We actually don't need to have very big money, choose a business that is suitable with our money for a starting business. Also, we can try to find a partnership or investor to gain more money to start a business. Better if they are the people who you already know well.

I didn't say business and gambling are the same. Of course, they are different. You are right, put your money in a business seems better than in gambling. Regarding knowledge, skills, competence, or experience, they are something a must to have. Not only for business, even in gambling we also need them.

There is something that really catches my attention in some people, and it is the fact of lending money to be able to play, which, I see it badly from every point of view, as they have said before, it is much better to lend money for some need or business, The reason is simple, somehow the money will be raised and with work and effort you will be able to repay the loan. The bad thing about investing it playing is that it is very likely that you can lose it, when you play with pressure it is very difficult, since the psychology of each person influences a lot and when you lose bad thoughts they become more and more real and that is when you can fall into vice.

Whenever money is used to play, it is money that the player is willing to lose, not need or multiply, I know that many or all of us want to multiply the money, but not do it irresponsibly.

Only very few have had the "LUCK" of having multiplied their money in games, most fail, anyway each person must have their self-control, I know a friend who always bet all his salary in a traditional casino and giving a general balance , their losses were greater than their gains, and the idea is to be able to do the opposite.

I see the game as a business, with little balance you should get little money but constantly, it is very difficult but you can, some whales do not happen that, they bet a lot and win a lot, as well as they can also lose a lot, but in terms In general, the player has to feel more about his money, this is similar to trading, when Jesse Livermore bet a lot of money on the stock market he did not see his profits, until he decided to extract half of what he earned to enjoy it on trips, meals, vacations, because it is very important to see the money you earn.

Sure. Usually people do not start a business from scratch - they already know how and what is happening in the field in which they open a business. This is often done by hired workers and in fact it turns out that they continue to do what they did before, only now they are working for themselves. If a person does not know anything about a particular business, then he can cooperate with such an employee and thus protect himself from a lack of knowledge. Nothing like this can be found in gambling.
All gurus and advisors in gambling actually sell empty information and spending money on them is just a waste of money.

Practically right and I back you with this statement, having the right knowledge within your

chosen field of investment or business the chance of being successful is far better comparing to any types of gambling.

Your knowledge is the key factors of your success, it can apply also with gambling but the chance of getting wreck out and completely losing your fund is far higher than starting a business if you have good understanding within the line.

Well, both have risk to be honest, the only difference is that the risk in starting a business is much lower than gambling, however, if you don't have any idea how to run a business like how to make profits in gambling, then surely in the end you'll lose all the money you got from loan.

So the idea is to do whatever you know how to work things out to avoid getting so much debt from loan or getting bankrupt because you started a business or playing gambling without any plans at all. I mean, you're not going anywhere.

Indeed. It is difficult if we become ambitious to win, especially if we do not see our chance of winning because that will make us unable to see enough. Gambling is part of entertainment so we should use gambling like that and not use gambling as a source of income. By doing that, that is a small part of being responsible for ourselves in gambling.

That is the right thing that we should do. But the fact is people do not have patience and borrow money from banks to create a business. But for playing gambling, it is not recommended to borrow money, no matter what the reason is. Usually, when people borrow money from the banks, they already plan what they will do for that money to stick to that. But for people who borrow money for gambling, they will not ask the bank instead, they will try to borrow the money from somebody else.

If we can do that, it will be a matter of time for us to become responsible gamblers, and when we play gambling, we can use gambling to entertain ourselves. And we can stop gambling anytime we want because of our reason for playing gambling because of having fun.

You are right about gambling but wrong about business. The truth is that 99.99% of people will never have "free" money to start a business - all the money is spent on life and important stages of life. Therefore, if people follow your advice, then this vast majority of people will never open a business, but this is wrong, because if they have the necessary knowledge, experience and competence, then opening a business is a much more reliable investing than gambling.

At first they had won big in gambling until they finally got addicted, not because they lost continuously until they became addicts. Because with the experience that I experienced myself and looked around, at least those who gamble and get the results of losing at the beginning without going through big wins in gambling, in fact they will be easier to quit and leave gambling. There is nothing complicated to recover from gambling addiction if they are responsible gamblers, because the problem is how to become a responsible gambler because to achieve that requires discipline and awareness.

Basically, to loan money both for gambling and a business in real life isn't recommended. You are better to wait for having sufficient money to start a business. Especially for gambling, it is better to avoid. There is no guarantee of success, instead of high risk to lose big money. We don't need to force ourselves to gamble or start a business if we have no enough money yet.

A strong intention is the first thing to have if we want to be responsible gamblers. Then, surely we need to try constantly although it requires big efforts. When we can discipline and commit to our goal to be responsible gamblers, we will be successful to change our habits to be more responsible in the end.

Forcibly, a gambler that has lost a lot will recover as much as he can and that makes him out of control and will forget about being a responsible gambler. Just go with the extra cash you've got and that's the common suggestion that you only gamble with the amount that you can lose. Most gamblers know about that strategy and tip but still, when you're in the actual situation and you've got already a bad feeling because you keep on losing, that will change your thinking.

Unfortunately, not many gamblers can afford such lifestyle, playing just for fun. Most of the time, gamblers want to play for the hope that they will go home with their winnings. So if you are the one that is included in the latter, better use your own extra funds and not borrowed money. So in case you lost, it is your own money and you don't owe anyone. Based from my experience, once you are already inside especially in a physical casino, the tendency is to use whatever you have. So just bring money that you can very well afford to lose.

This is the right attitude to have, it is way easier to be a responsible gambler if the expectations that we have out of gambling are just to get some fun out of it, when people put more expectations than this then this creates problems as they are unable to fulfill those expectations and then they want to force their way and get them anyway, and while this can happen for some time we know that over the long term this is not possible making them to lose amounts of money they did not planned to lose and making them irresponsible gamblers in the process.

the trigger point for addiction starts in not accepting to lose money constantly, the person starts thinking that in the next game they will be able to recover and then lose in the next game and keep playing and then lose in the next game and time goes by and when they look back everything you have is addicted. but she doesn't realize she's addicted. and another big problem arises: how to make an addicted person recover and stop being addicted? this is the most complicated part, anyone who has lived with an addicted knows how painful this whole process is

It's more likely especially for those conservative gamblers, those who are responsible enough.

They are not greedy and they are content with 10% earnings than trying to win more and burned your money while playing around,
Either go for the entertainment part or try to earned a little and enjoy after playing, than trying to go deeper but lose everything.

Some just learned the hard way, while some are really responsible enough  to understand the risk in gambling, they also understand their real chance of winning so they will not try to be ambitious to consider gambling as a source of income, instead they'll consider it as a way to entertain themselves.

Many people realize that gambling is not a place to make money because they already lose their money to playing gambling. The chance for every people to lose will be different but losing the money will be the same. It is better to use the money from the loan to create a business because you will have a chance to make money from that but you need to pay the borrows money. Being a responsible gambler needs more effort and I am sure that we can do that, although it is not easy to start.

Saying it is easy, we must be disciplined to control our emotions so as not to gamble excessively. The fact is that I always lose control several times
when I lose, because sometimes we do not realize that humans are difficult to accept defeat. It may take a long time for us to really control our
emotions when gambling, but in the near future I prefer to limit the time to play gambling. Because for me it is more effective to avoid me
from gambling addiction.

I firmly believe that if you are gambling then you aren't able to manage your finances because gambling is a waste of money and people who gamble knows that subconsciously but they are there for the entertainment and the wins are just a part of the game. The problem is that sometimes the obssession can be really strong that it's difficult to control it especially if you are being afflicted by the behavior of gambler's fallacy where you think that consecutive losses is going to give you a big win anytime soon.
