Topic: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling - page 9. (Read 3393 times)

Self control would be always the key because once you dont have it then gambling would really be bringing out the worst scenario or situation into yourself on which it would really be just be that too careless when it comes to your spending. You cant really be making yourself that safe if the spending habit you do have is really that impulsive on which this is something that you must avoid.
Staying safe is considered on the moment that you arent that wrecking yourself into it. People do usually mess up if they had forgotten on what are the things that needs to be done.

The thought of getting big wins is what makes gamblers bet high amounts and lose their bankroll in less time, they ignore the fact that betting big doesn't make them win more, even if they manage to get one big win, they will lose it in the same speed again since they are placing high amounts.

That doesn't really have to be true, the gap between your gambling sessions does not determine whether you will win or lose. So if you are losing now, it doesn't mean that you will win if you play after two days. Winning or losing in gambling is totally dependent on one's luck, and if they are unlucky even after a week, they will still lose no matter how much they've lost already.

Indeed, the nature of gambling addiction is so insidious that even seemingly harmless beginnings can lead to devastating ends. Its an endless loop: bet, lose, bet bigger to recover. This cycle, as you aptly pointed out, doesnt just exhaust one's financial resources but emotionally drains the individual too. The idea of taking a break to 'reset' is good advice, but is it really a long-term solution?

Diving deeper, the real conundrum isnt just about taking breaks or changing the mindset. Its about confronting the real reasons one turns to gamble in the first place. For some, its the thrill; for others, a desperate bid to change their financial situations. The true battle is against these underlying reasons. Viewing gambling as entertainment is a start, but its not the panacea. Its a complex web of psychology, and to truly free oneself, one needs to untangle every thread.

it will never be a challenge if from the beginning you already knew what you are entering for,because things will only change once you going into gambling without proper knowledge and understanding.
also those are the people that become addicted and ending to be losing their lives because of debt and wrong decisioning .
this turns different because many gamblers are being lured because of the Idea of them becoming winner or even richer in easy way, but not the true essence of gambling to bring joy and happiness.
and also if those person don't wanna seek for help and support from their family ,
but as long as you are letting your family to learn your gambling activities , they will guide you into a better way of treating gambling.

It is difficult to do this, because we remember that when we are in a casino it is likely that we already have an idea that a casino is a game or has several Games where they are exactly tested and that things turn out well because it is like that, and because it is a system op because someone programmed it so well that it wouldn't have any bugs, but currently things aren't like that, so much playing, so much doing things, that sometimes the systems have glitches, and those things sometimes could harm us or do something favorable For us, then we as a good player can intuit that when it comes to how to do things better, well it is difficult, we know the advantage of the Company, we Know that it can be u have a great community and that they have the best game providers that They can be had in a casino, but things can also get out of control because they are systems and there are Bugs and the bugs are what make the difference, so sun bug to gfavcor del caisno they do not say it, or if they detect it and the person You have lost your Money , the casinos don't say Anything , they just take the money, but when a person wins, but it was because of a bug, the casinos immediately make the person aware of the bug and take Away the Money, then that is lends itself to misunderstandings.

Because? People just want to play, win, and that is what Games of chance, or casinos, are based on, everything that logic tells us should be done, so when something like this happens and the casino takes the money, it is obvious, that as a Player one begins to complain, that this is not our problem, that if there was a Similar problem , the consider took the risk and got lost, then they shouldn't do it, and that is why it has lent itself to making a lot of Drama In the End , then when these things happen, I consider that the casino must be aware of taking the money from the person and not taking it away, because I have seen how many Cases have suffered from similar events to this one and then the customers go there.

Having the understanding that we have to accept losses because in sports betting is not always accurate, we have to prioritize entertainment and by setting clear boundaries and understanding that losses are possible.

It is important to remain calm and not get carried away by emotions when experiencing losses in gambling. By maintaining a balanced attitude and maintaining a realistic perspective, we can maintain balance in our gambling experience and prevented excessive stress.

Yes it is really worth a shot if the community tries it. Boycotting casinos would serve them better if they feel playing with gamblers intelligence is their priorities to stay in profit. How can you explain yourself after reading through a term of service of a casino and it does not requires anything for verification and you decide to give it a try, you make a deposit, play and win then you want to withdraw and you see that your asset being withheld and the casino demanding for what they never captured in there terms of service and when you make a case, they refer you to their terms of service which you are very much sure of and you go see for yourself and you noticed they changed it how would you feel about it. It's very disappointing and deceitful on their end to put up with Such act.

Yes, a gambler who puts in little capital means minimal damage if they experience a loss, but those little capitals will have an impact if the gambler has a lot of bets or games; more sessions or bets with a small amount are not different from one played with big capital. The most efficient way to stay away from gambling and minimise the damage is to set boundaries and limits. I also experienced that case wherein I only put a small amount as capital, but I didn't notice that I do a lot of betting, resulting in a big loss that affected me badly. That's why it's important to me to set only a limit in terms of my bet and the betting amount itself. So I disagree with your opinion, but this is also my opinion, so no hard feelings. But sometimes I do big betting which is risky but also have a huge profit potential

With a start like that it will bring addiction periodically. even though they bet with a small value it will not last long, of course it will run out later. With this they will dare later to bet in large values with the principle of being able to restore the losses that have been lost due to gambling, of course this is the wrong mindset with this mindset in my opinion there will be no end to it at any time. as long as their money is still there they will continue to gamble even when their money runs out they will still gamble but somehow maybe you yourself know.

The mindset that must be changed in a gambler if they get a continuous defeat with a victory that never comes, they must take a break to calm their minds and consider that gambling is only for entertainment, do not put the principle of returning the losses that have been lost it will just spend their money. by thinking that gambling is only for entertainment maybe they will be able to stop gambling by realizing the defeat that is always obtained and the victory that never comes. so this is in my opinion about good self-control and the mindset that must be changed.

Yeah and that is the right mentality towards gambling most especially in sportbets,  because that is the most common bets this days at for that,  we have to put in measures that will safeguard our activities in the space such as having a risk measures and best to handle any possible loses,  that may come along the way,  because not having such arrangement will expose your mental well being in a significant proportion that will end up affecting the overall state of things going forward and also we have to be able to chose between either to continue or quite the betting process when we record some significant and noticeable results that can impact us for a while.

Sport bet are most appropriate for such risk management since one can easily speculate the direction a football match will go at some point in time.

Keeping the limits is ideal in gambling but that seems a challenge for everyone which is why many get into debt and compromise their finances because the moment that they lose, the more they gamble and chase their losses.
Just heard someone on the news, that they had kept their lottery tickets and for many many years in doing this they can't imagine that it already reached to million but sadly, they never have been given the chance to win the jackpot price. If we can record all our bets, we can also find that was already huge.

Many gambler are doing the random betting with low money as the capital,So if they loss the complete money at the initial time.This won’t affect the gambler because of the small money used for the betting.Some gambler with huge interest in gambling will made the big betting on certain games,If they win means it will be far better one.But if they loss the game,leads to the big loss in the gambling.So the gambler who get the big loss will wait for the longer period to get into gambling again.The gambler should allow some gap between each loss in the gambling,So the next games will be the winning for the gambler.

I agree with you, chasing losses and being not contented with what you've accomplished in gambling may result in becoming greedy and developing an unhealthy obsession. Expect to lose and win, as everyone says don't chase your losses by making a bigger bet just to win back the money you have lost. You've mentioned that gambling is not that bad as long as you have self-control and discipline. well, being a responsible gambler, you must not use gambling as a source of income, use money that you can afford to lose, and set a dollar limit and stick to it. One of the best safe practices in gambling is by making a personal rule not to gamble on a credit and avoiding gambling when you're not mentally and emotionally prepared.

Chasing losses is never been that a good behavior to have specially on gambling on which this would really be that resulting into such impulsive approach towards gambling and this would really be that messes up your finances specially if you cant really be able to control yourself or simply with your emotion then most likely you would really be ending up on messing everything later on.
Gambling isnt bad as long you do really know on what you are doing or simply having that control because usually gamblers do messes up with this one not literally speaking about those
security issues literally but most of the time people do experience problem when it comes to addiction and this is where people should really be mindful because if not then
this is where people do mess up and could hardly be able to assess such situation specially if you have ended up yourself on getting addicted which playing safe on both directions
but generally on which people should be avoiding on getting addicted as much as possible.

Money recovery or this symptom has nothing to do with addiction in the first place. You don't need to be an addict to feel like you should recover your money, but it's about being a responsible gambler, and someone who doesn't gamble for money but has a limited budget and time and only spends that in gambling just to get entertained or maybe to try their luck. Only a gambler with the primary goal of earning money through it will chase their losses.

When you are addicted, all you can about is gambling, you don't think of how much you've lost and how much more you will spend on it, you just keep gambling whenever you get money in your hands, and though you might not like losing and try to recover your losses, you won't stop at any level as an addicted gambler.

That's what we have to do when gambling so that we won't experience any problems and there is no desire to recover losses if we lose. If we can gamble with small money, that is enough, especially if our goal in gambling is just to get pleasure so that even if we lose, our losses will not be too big. But it will be different if we place bets again in the next round many times and cannot control our gambling. Even though it is small money, if we calculate it as a whole, the amount of loss will be large and if we don't realize it, we will lose a lot of money.

Yes, every gambler will try to recover money when he loses. Be it an addict or a non-addict it is a common thing for which we can never say it as a main reason for addiction. It takes more than a few symptoms to determine whether a gambler is addicted or not.  among these main features is that those who spend long periods of time in gambling are more likely to become addicted. When a gambler spends more time in gambling than usual he is bound to become addicted. Moreover, those who have high expectations in gambling are also more likely to become addicted.

To be honest with you, i think chasing losses is sure a gateway to becoming addicted to gambling, this is from what i have seen happen to many other people. Think of it this way, a person starts gambling, probably won, then he or she is happy and continues to gamble, won some significant amount of money again, he is extremely happy and continues to gamble, and by this time, he is now staking really high amount of money because his two previous wins has helped him build good confidence, and eventually, and ends up losing an amount of money he wasn't prepared to lose, he continues to gamble, but this time, he has become very determined because he wants to win that money he lost back by all means - This gambler have started chasing after a loss and before he realizes what he is doing, he is already addicted.

So, this is just to tell you that it's not just those who are already addicted to gambling that chase after losses, those who are just coming into gambling do chase after loses and this is one of the characters that lead them to becoming addicted to gambling.

Not really the case, chasing losses in my opinion isn't a gateway to addiction but one of the many symptoms. The advices you've given are definitely right but if that person is really a gambling addict I am pretty sure that they wouldn't be able to do it and we all know how addiction works, if you don't have the money to sustain, you are definitely to find a way to sustain it by hook or by crook. As much as everyone wants to embody that last part but the money that you're losing when you lose in gambling is just going to make it difficult to do.

Yes, that's right, I also don't really think about it if I lose some of the bets I bet on in sports games because I'm ready to accept any risk because gambling is less likely to get the luck we expect, it's just that some people prefer sports betting because it's better. can control ourselves there without having to play games at other casinos where we have to stand by in front of a screen which has a high risk. If we can't control our finances we can experience a lot of losses because usually people who gamble accidentally do it continuously without realizing they have spent a lot money there.
