all the criteria that you mention are very interesting especially at the second point where you say that a good gambler who can control himself, yes that is true because usually the defeat we do in terms of gambling is an uncontrolled emotion and only thinking in terms of just win.
That makes a gambler good and responsible if he can control himself. Many gamblers can't do that and even the professionals are loosing themselves though they are used to this type of hobby and source of living. Emotion is one of the hardest opponent whether in gambling or trading.

Right, he/she also should be able to set up a limit before starting for both losing/winning money and spending time.

Though the one we can't really limit is the emotions that will be felt by that certain gambler when the time he is already gambling. There are a lot of time that gamblers would limit the money they are using but still ended up losing a lot of money despite the limit.

It is really hard to gamble and not to be hyped up when you are winning since that is the obvious reasons why we are gambling, to win a huge money. I do also hope that I can win a lot of money for just betting a small amount but that don't always happen. For me the great criteria of a gambler is their control of their emotions and their selves.

A lot of people wonder what is the criteria of a good gambler, here are some of my thought about good gambler

a good gambler never chase profit
Profit might be the first reason why people gamble, but a good gambler never attached to the profit, the most important thing in gambling is excitement and fun experience, having profit is just the bonus

a good gambler able to control himself / herself
Self controlling is very important in gambling, without a clear mind there will be a lot of mistakes in betting and even causing reckless betting and losing all of the money in split second

a good gambler know when to stop
Setting a limit is very important in gambling, setting a lost limit will prevent you to over spend your money and setting a win limit is  also important because in the long run the house got a bigger chance to win due to the house edge

a good gambler never cause any problem to the surrounding
A good gambler know that the chances of losing money in gambling is huge, so a gambler should never used daily needs money or borrowing money to gamble, and a gambler should never think of robbery or stealing to gamble

a good gambler can accept lost
When losing a good gambler won't blame the surrounding, cursing or accusing the  casino as fraud places, losing is the half part of gambling, if you can't accept lost then dont start to gamble

a good gambler should able to manage the time
A good gambler know how to split the time for family, for friends and for gambling, a good gambler never neglected family or friend just because of gambling

We must encourage people to become a good gambler, so people won't always have a bad judgement about gambler
all the criteria that you mention are very interesting especially at the second point where you say that a good gambler who can control himself, yes that is true because usually the defeat we do in terms of gambling is an uncontrolled emotion and only thinking in terms of just win.

There is no point for any gambler to even be studying their chances of winning in any game. It is a game of luck and any gambler that does not already know that the chances of winning is far lesser than the chances of losing, then such a gambler is not ready to start facing reality and until he is able to, he might end up being an addict. A good gambler should know right from the onset this is just a game, which you can win or lose big, so be ready to accept the outcome.
Actually there is and that is so that they can go back to reality and know that gambling was made for the casino owners to make money. This is why for me a good gambler is someone who have learned their lesson and stopped gambling completely. Sure, some might be able to set their limits of how much time and money they are going to spend in gambling. But to me that's just them justifying their bad habit which is gambling. There are gamblers that say they are gambling but it's completely fine because they can stop whenever they want. But to me it extends from being able to stop gambling, to being able to use that money and time for a better purpose. You have the capability to stop the bad habit, yet you are not doing it. Thus, the capability is wasted.

I don't think what you're describing is necessarily a good gambler at all. I think that's just a gambler who's aware of the risks and chances and are ready to face the consequences of it, which quite frankly is almost every gambler. Right when they deposit the money, they know that sooner or later they are going to lose it because they know, from experience and from theory, that they are going to lose.

A good gambler is aware that gambling is nothing but a way of losing money. They are the ones who understands the gambling industry so they have already left.

I agree with you in general, but there is a third option. I mean, you've described two of them, either trying to make money with gambling(which is not the best idea) or quitting completely(which is hard to do for some people because they enjoy gambling). The third option would be to continue with realization that you can hardly earn money with gambling, but that you still can get your entertainment from it. You just have to decide how much you can spend on it, say, per month, and never go over that limit. Of course, if you unable to control yourself, you should quit, that's true.



Yes of course there are criteria that we can say that a person is a good gambler. First it has discipline and know when to stop,  if we had no stable job then we must not bet all our money.  Second is a good gambler set limit and choose a date when to gamble,  for me I consider this because we may not have lots of leisure time and fund but if we really want at least to gamble then we can do it once a month.  Third is when we meet the limit then we have to accept that its not our day and accept it. Respect your limit so that you will not regret anything.

Thats absolutely right, good gambler is not an addict, they know that gambling is about having fun or entertainment,
they won't use gambling for their income especially depending on that income, and they know when to stop
A good gambler doesn't only know that gambling is about having fun and entertainment. He can make it happen to make it somehow as part time source of income. Take note of that, part time not full time so by doing that he's a good gambler if he's too disciplined and making that much.
Gambling isn’t really something that should count as a source of income for people at all, the possibility of always wining when it comes to gambling is far lower when it comes to losing. A good gambler shouldn’t count gambling as a source of income.
I don't disagree with what you said but like what I said it can be a part time source of income and they can make it happen. I'm not saying that most of the gamblers can do this but there are gamblers that are living their lives that way.

We do have our own belief with this and opinion and nothing's wrong with that. We have different opinions on what a good gambler should do.

A good gambler will make gambling a business even if it's just a side business. He will control himself not to spend big capital. He will seek even the smallest profit, after making a profit even though he is small he will go home and play at a later time. Even if he has to lose, surely he will not spend all his money, because he knows maybe this is not his lucky day, so it will not be useful to continue playing because he will only spend all his money.


I won't make gambling as a business because I don't want to get trouble because, in my country, gambling is one of the illegal activities although many people still playing gambling secretly. And I don't think this is the criteria of a good gambler because I am sure that there is another business that he can do, and he can try with that rather than to do a gambling business. But this will differ if he lives in the country which allows gambling as a business then he can try to build gambling places

This is one of the biggest quality any person must have in order to survive the addiction or a huge loss happens in gambling. If some one can control them self and move away from it when they know its not their lucky day or take profits and do not become more greedy to play further will help them.

Right, he/she also should be able to set up a limit before starting for both losing/winning money and spending time.

The best way for starting gambling properly is to set those limits exactly and to gamble the max you afford to lose.

The most important part is the leaving when you are ahead part. If I am ever gambling and suddenly make a decent return and make good profits (which is not rare but unlikely option to losing) than I usually stop and keep the profits and withdraw what I initial deposited and leave the casino.

I go back next day or couple days later and than gamble with the money I made and that makes me feel like I am gambling on free money (if you consider what I already lost, its surely not free) and that makes it even more fun. Leaving when you are ahead is the best quality a gambler can ever have and I think not doubling down on a lose is another big one. If you lost, cut your loses and leave, don't double down on it.
In other words, evacuating the gambling premises as long as you are still sure you are still in control of yourself. The truth is any lapses in allowing gambling to get a hold of you, automatically becomes the start of a bigger problem. However, it is understandable that gambling with the money you made can make some sense but you also have to consider that the same money you made can still finish, so, at the end, you may still be back to square one.

The reason why i abandoned gambling is because I was focusing on profit and not really focusing on the fun of it.  Seriously, it is very difficult for one to make it in gambling if emotions control your investments.  Now from this thread I now know I am wrong.

finally, you know the mistake you made in a gambling game and I hope that you don't make the same mistake. in a gambling game, you don't need to try to earn the money because this will be difficult for every gambler even for pro gambler. but if only want to enjoy the games, then you are not playing the game too serious and it's better to control your emotion too.
Gambling is not even an investment or a profit making venture anyone should be looking forward to earning from as that would make them really set up for a high level of loss and addiction in the long run. A reasonable gambler will know that there is not much to gain from gambling when it comes to monetary stuff unless you are crazily lucky, and in that case, better to stick to other things that would be more of an interest or just stay away.
The question we should be asking though is that do we really still have reasonable gamblers? Most people that gamble today are just probably in it for the money, or they just simply are after what they cannot definitely attain which is to get rich from gambling overnight and instead they only end up getting poorer.

Very few people know what gambling is capable of and they are able to put themselves in control, knowing they only do it for whatever fun they feel they derive from it anyway.

All of the main points have already been mentioned. For me, a good gambler understands that gambling is just a form of entertainment and not a way to try and make money. A good gambler understands the game, doesn't gamble more than he/she can afford to lose, doesn't chase losses, is emotionally stable and knows when to quit.
You are right but most of the gamblers can't do that and they lose everything in the end not just their money.
If they can't take time to understand the game then they will not be categorized as a good gambler.

But to me what they need to understand is the risk that they are taking and the possible negative result which they might come up with if they gamble. I'll add that good gamblers will never blame the game, will never blame that they are unlucky.
Yeah good gambler won't do that, even though they play and lose, they won't swear especially angry at the game, because good gamblers are those who know the risks involved in gambling, they know that gambling is just entertainment, so don't be too serious and using gambling for the purpose of getting rich

A good gambler knows what sort of gambling strategies he can MAKE on a certain Streak and change accordingly without any big loss, recovering in the next wave.
Being a good gambler isn't only about strategies, streaks, cutting or avoiding losses.

Just because you can change accordingly without any big loss, you're a good gambler but that's a normal gamblers instinct of not having any big loss.

If a gambler tend to let himself fall and get into a lot of losses, it is his problem. Simply a good gambler, knows what he's doing.

And give us good number of good gamblers right now? I know most people don’t have such list who are continuously claiming that good gamblers are this and that. Well, expert gamblers are there in market and they are advising everyone not to become part of this game anymore. They emphasize on this fact and even request other fellows to refrain them from this harmful game.

Based on what you should follow their requests on giving it up?

Gambling is always same based on luck and probabilistics and your experience on how to profit way more then regular gamblers.

Don't see why u would want to quit.
