Topic: Characteristics of good gamblers (Read 127 times)

To make it shorter, a gambler needs to be discipline all the time.

That's the basic rule as when you are dealing with money in a high risk activity, you need to be fully discipline do the plan strategy, otherwise it would cost you a lot of money and you may learn but in a hard way.

With discipline, all in the list can easily be implemented without any problem, you control your mind, your emotion will follow.

Whenever i do play gambling or any sort of things that do involved spending out some cash then i do really always mind of this kind of thing where i shouldnt really spend up money which are intended
for my family savings.Its not bad to make some gambling or enjoyment but never go on spending on the money that you cant afford to lose before its too late or you would have a hard
time recovering.Just like on what most people been saying that as long you dont compromise everything then just continue on what you are doing.
Enjoy life while you still can and just know up your limitations.

This should be changed to accepting losses because when you gamble losing will always be a part of it, so it all comes down on how you'll react after those losses like if you're going make an attempt in recovering them on your next session or move on from it.


Also you can remove one of the two since they're the same thing.

When it comes to characteristics?
1. Know your limits.

This one should be enough not only limited on gambling but on other things as well on where you shouldn't really go beyond on what you can handle out
because this would always result on fucking up yourself in the end.

Don't gamble that you cant afford to lose.Always avoid impulsive gambling then you're safe.

Good gamblers know when to get in and when to get out. They prefer to lose a little and leave the game rather than continue and lose everything. They consider what might be a good strategy based on as real data as possible. They do not gamble when being tired or under the influence of drugs.
They are a rare example, since most gamblers are a bunch of degenerates. 

It's not bad even if a gambler gambles daily if he divides his bankroll by 7 days and only bets up to the amount he decides. It will teach him discipline and will also let him evaluate his gambling habits on a daily basis so that he will not overplay and lose everything in one or two days of the week but have higher chances of winning on 'few' more days against 'few' less days as 4:3 wins:losses is also a good ratio.

To be a good gambler you will have to master how to deal with the wins and the losses. there's a saying that goes "The house always wins". Most of the casino games are rigged to favor management.  You will have winning days and losing days no matter what you do. Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. ... Good gamblers are not controlled by their emotions. They follow certain principles that work for them. They stick to their plan and sometimes improvise when necessary. Successful gambling is not  easy to achieve

I have the term because some people knows all the strategies they should use to gamble in a way if either win or loss, it is not going to affect them in any way. But some people will not have job and making them to think gambling can be a profession, or some people will be thinking to focus more on gambling making it a profession to themselves, that is very wrong, gambling should not be seen as a profession, but the ones that know the right steps to gamble are professional enough. Because you are expert or good in a particular field and people refered to you as professional does not mean the field should be considered as a profession, just as gambling, but I will change it to avoid confusion.

Thats confusing because some make money but the gambler knows he isnt supposed to win and its an uphill struggle.  The mistake or problem is when thinking or ever believing you deserve to win or luck is coming to you, theres an average but you may never get close to average luck just bad luck which is the burden of gambling someones got to lose.

Honestly I do think they have a very considerable self control xd people are able to stop at games which are not only highly addictive but at the same time designed to meet the new requirements of modern game like features.


 They are just gamblers with better controls on themselves but I do think you are describing: The qualities of a good gambler since I do know a lot of people who take gambling as a profession and at the same time , earn big and loose even bigger , so those are the people that we call professional gambler. Trust me there are some people Like that , they have their own secret strategies.

Knowledge
Strategy
Control

These three things will take you anywhere.

Professional gamblers are nothing different from the common gamblers, but they have much higher experience than the common ones. This makes them to stand within the limits at all occasions of wins/loss. To have this self control what they've lost will be very high, and now they've got their own strategies through which they make some regular earning out of gambling.

My opinion is:
Even if you have a lot of experience and absurd luck to win most of the time, you must be in control and know when to stop when reaching the goal.
This objective can be a limit of hours played or a gain reached.

A professional player knows that no matter how good that moment is, any time your luck can turn and you lose everything.
Imagine how would you feelif won a fortune and lost it later because didn't know when to stop.

What if I keep on gambling and still wins most of the time? You may say that it is an unlikely scenario but what if it's actually happening? Will I not be called an addict?

Good gamblers are not exactly on the same level as professional gamblers so it's unlikely for them to say it's a profession.
Why do have the term "Professional Gamblers" if it's not a profession?

Few people have gambled and won greatly while some can stake and yet win, but we all know people that lose are more than people that gain, that is why gambling companies will never lack if they see traffic and people continue to gamble with them. But some people become addicted, some people blamed it to gamble companies, while in nature, 20% out of 100% can become addicted. And on the other side, gambling companies provided opportunities for job which makes them also significant in the society. That is why the need to educate people in a way they will not be addicted to gambling.

What is gambling addiction
Gambling addiction is when you gamble, lose and yet gamble the more and resulting to losses in a way it becomes a problem. If someone is an addict, he can sell properties, he can make himself not convenient by spending funds he ought not to spend, and as he spend it, he lost it to gambling.

The reason for addiction
Some people believe in luck, that one day they will win, they bet all the time, thinking they will win, but they lose all the time more than win. Addicts will look for ways to make better bets thinking it will work out, but yet losing, addicts will later thinking he is professional and uses high amount of money on low odds, win sometimes but one loss will make him lose more than his initial capital. And yet losing but believing they will make it from gambling. The right time someone will not become an addict no more is when he realises gambling do take than give, and just make it a fun.

Characteristics of good gamblers
1. Good gamblers will know gambling is not a profession
2. Knowing gambling is an entertainment
3. Only using the money he can afford to lose
4. Think more of his life and family more and making gambling an irrelevant part of his life not more than fun
5. Not playing often, it can be ones in a week, it should not be daily
6. Good gamblers will lose and not just play again at the time until later
7. Using money he can afford to lose
8. Never lose and think about the money because he use very little amount

Gambling is good for people that are not additcs, but addicts should look for ways to become not addicted again, like telling his family members about it, knowing he should leave gambling for a while, he should not that the more he gamble the more he will lose, but making it fun will make gamble enjoyable.
