Topic: Do You Believe That Reading People's Bad Experience Will Help You - page 3. (Read 541 times)

Who on earth hasn't heard or known how gambling is negatively affecting some people's financial lives? Nevertheless, a lot of individuals choose to ignore all the warning indications they have seen about the dangers of gambling addiction in people's lives. Still on still, they will continue to permit such events to occur to them.

The fact remains that many would rather learn things the hard way. When they hear of other people's bad experiences with gambling, they are not moved or stopped unless they are painfully experiencing the worst with them. By then, they'll start moving on from their addiction to something more positive.

That's the kind of thing we see in today's people's lives.  They prefer to experience it first before quitting any bad addiction that will cost their lives.

Each person does have their own different approach when it comes to gambling but it could really be just only having that two possible ways whether gambling for fun or gambling for money. We do know that when it comes to intents then each person does have their own. Not all the time people would really be just playing for money but also there are really individuals who are really that doing it for the sake of entertainment and leisure truly. Upon reading up on others unfortunate condition then it would really be that so impossible that you wont really be able to realize something as an individual and making use of your
own common sense.

There are really just those people who do really that reject out the idea and those things on the time that they've read it up and would really be that still continuing on the things that they've been
doing even if they are already that fully aware on the things that you do gonna do. You cant really just not anytime you do have that kind of control as long your mindset is fixed
or dedicated into something then you would really be failing up on following on the things that you are really that gonna trying to do.
It all matters on moderation in the end of the day.

The same way they inscribe "cigarettes is dangerous to health, is the same way government has mandated them to put "18+" and "gamble responsibly" on their betting platforms. If you don't see this on the landing page, you will see this on the footer of the website. For the physical betting shops, you will see it bodly written on their banner front shops.

Gambling responsibility is independent on what you have in mind. It's all about how descipline you are as a person and how financial stable you are helps you control urge to gamble. If have money and you are not descipline, you will gamble repeatedly likewise if you don't have don't have too much money but you are descipline, you will gamble less. But if you don't have money and you also don't have descipline, you will borrowed money here and there and gamble the hell out of betting platforms without winning anything.

People that will gamble will continue to gamble, even if the government limit people to gamble twice a week, there are people that will gamble from morning to night for that two days given to gamble. It's all about descipline and how prepare you are because it's very easy to become addicted to gambling.

It may or may not have an impact on someone based on their mindset about gambling or things in general. People who tend to learn from the mistakes that others make will surely find such stories and readings useful as they will become more careful and vigilant when gambling, but there can also be people who wouldn't care about what others have experienced and they will say that they will have a different experience and these stories aren't true or whatever.

What I believe is that one should at least read such stories and stuff for educational and knowledge purposes so that they should at least know the negative consequences of certain things that they might do while gambling and if they know about them, they might avoid doing those things like chasing losses, etc.

The best teacher is usually personal experience. But sometimes instead of learning from other people's experiences, some individuals will wait until they become victims before they learn. One of the most potent teaching techniques is the storytelling method and it is very simple but impactful. Even most great religious teachers used stories to teach important life lessons. So stories of people who have struggled with gambling addiction or over gambling might serve as deterrents to new gamblers who want to learn.

There are a series of gambling stories in this forum that have taught me some lessons on how to remain a responsible gambler. The responses and discussions from these gambling threads have been impactful. They don't just teach how to be free from gambling addiction but also how to avoid it.

Basically, maybe everyone also knows that something bad that they have experienced must be made into a very valuable experience to be a little better and in the sense that they don't let something like that happen again, and it makes sense as you say that "it depends on whether the person wants to learn better or not", it makes a lot of sense friend, because not infrequently we also find people who are stuck in the same hole, none other than because they don't become bad things as an experience to be better in the future.

And the conclusion is that those who always experience a lot of defeat in gambling are people who do not want to learn and do not want to make bad experiences as a consideration and reference for a better future. Of course that's true, so I hope they can immediately realize and take some precautions so as  not to always fall into a large number of defeats, it's better to think from now on before you suffer a larger number of defeats. It's really worrying when they have to lose a lot of money just because of the hope of victory that is absolutely not guaranteed and there is no certainty.

Bad experiences, bad events will be lessons for those who want to learn. Meanwhile, for those who don't want to think wisely, losing makes them even more eager to gamble more. There are many incidents happening in my neighborhood. When someone becomes an uncontrolled gambler, it doesn't make them wise in gambling. On the contrary, he continued to gamble with greater risks, and he even had to lose a lot of his money. This incident was not just a story for him to use as a lesson, but made him even more uncontrolled in his gambling. The only way for him to stop is no more money to gamble.

It all depends on each new gambler mindset and goals.
I mean if we talk about negative impacts as you said, it can give fear to novice gamblers, it depends on the thinking of the novice gambler because from history I have seen novice gamblers who come to gambling with the mindset of wanting to double their money, they will always ignore the impact. negatives of gambling, but if a novice gambler comes to gambling just to try to play the game he wants and then hears bad news about the negative impacts of gambling, he will definitely understand and will feel afraid and may decide to stay away from gambling.

everything you say may be right or wrong because everything still depends on the thoughts of each gambler who always has a different view.

Those that don't consider the bad experiences of others think that they are just better without them and that's fine. We all have better approach on what we think is best and right for us.

If those people don't see the essence and help from others experience, there's no need to be butthurt with that because it won't change the fact that we're not them, and they're not us.

I agree about having a cool mind, like you're just chilling and gambling and your mind is cooled and no hasty bets and decisions are with you.

Not necessarily help like people will choose to experience bad things in order to help others. I think its because that just serves as a lesson or reminder to the unfortunate gambler and to the new comers to always know their limits. Real life stories about the negative consequences of gambling can serve as a deterrent and create awareness about the risks involved. Same with cigarette packaging that highlights the potential bad outcomes of gambling may help individuals make more informed and responsible choices.

Exactly, past experienced from people who get wrecked when they are inside this venue will help us to realize that there's always a big risk which we might also experience if we are not careful when we are playing, things that specifically are being mishandled by gamblers who think that it an easy venue to make money only to find themselves losing a lot after playing.

Reading those shared experiences can give us a hint and give us some basis on how we should act and play while inside the venue, making it more responsible and avoiding to have that same fate that those gamblers have when they are actively playing,.

Every beginners always believe that there is something special about their gambling skills, they want to have the taste in their own way first, so even if you keep shouting on them about how gambling can make them lose all their money they won't listen to you.

Only smart people listen to advice and make good use of the parts that they feel will be useful for them, I have lost money to gambling before and I know how it feels when you lose everything again, because of greed and your stupid way of thinking.

Greed is why a gambler will win a round and still proceed to the next, most times you will lose everything again, and ignorance is why a gambler will ignore the advice of others when gambling because they believe the same thing won't happen to them.

When everyone are chasing the same goal that you want, it's obvious what will happen at the end, this is what gambling is all about, like how many people are you seeing that are living a good life by becoming a 100% gambler with nothing else they are do for money?

I like it when ignorant people learn their lessons the hardest way, when I advice you about what awaits you in gambling and you ignore the advice then you are ready for the max pain.

As a matter of fact this should help, I am not a addicted gambler because of the stories that my parents shared with me while growing up, my father don't like the sight of gambling at all, they he most times called it the instrument of the devil, to fool people into thinking that they can really make it without breaking any sweat, he warned me to never get close to gambling as it will mess with my mind.

He told me about few people he know that ruined their lives because of gambling, even one that things are going well for because of the new job he got but suddenly this person turned into gambling and everything turned around for him, to the extent of using his house to take loan to gamble and he lost it, this was how his family got separated.

And me taking these warnings very seriously because it scared the shit out of me, and in my mind I started hating gambling, but when I get to know about Bitcoin and engaged in some trading too I decide to give gambling a try when I learnt that crypto is now acceptable, but the warnings of my parent still lives inside of me and it's what I apply when risking money on gambling, so yes I do believe that reading about the bad side of gambling can change your mentality and get you even more prepared before you start gambling.

I do believe it is a good way to make us responsible.
Why? Simply because that happened to me. My father is a gambler, cockfighting, some of my cousins are also gamblers, and my grandfather also spent a lot of money betting for the national lottery every day if I compute the total amount of it.
Because of that, I don't bet large amounts, and as much as possible I could prolong the balance that I have and just hit the wagering amount that I plan for a month. I don't gamble habitually like there's no tomorrow. I don't get angry way too much when I lose.
I think all those experiences from my past made me a better gambler today because I don't want to become like them.
So yes, I do believe that every time we read a story about someone who cannot control their gambling habits, it makes us realize how risky it is when we gamble too. As long as they are real, because I have seen a lot of fake stories and you can tell that they are just making it up for unknown purposes.

Hearing someone talk about personal growth honestly is refreshing. Your ability to recognize and change a past behaviour shows resilience. You're reaching a milestone in responsibility. Similar to any risky behaviour, gambling shows a lack of accountability, especially when money is involved. Its true that influencers have taken advantage of these human traits, and it can be hard to tell whats right and wrong.

Warnings and shared experiences have always been a thing. Gambling wina are loud and public, while losses are quiet and typically overlooked by the next great win. The smoking-to-vaping contrast demonstrates that dangerous behaviours persist without a less harmful option. This suggests that a safe or helpful outlet may change gambling tendencies.

What may gambling's 'vape' be? Is it virtual gaming, stock market trading, or something entirely different? Each has its own set of risks and responsibilities. The solutions may not be simple or universal, but discussing them sparks harm reduction innovation.

Reading people's gambling experience will help new gamblers on how to to pattern their gambling lifestyle not to end up just like gamblers who are struggling. Some people fall into being addicted because they never thought addiction is real,  they never expect it is Something beyond control. Growing up have seen people who were gambling addicts and they did funny things just to make sure that they satisfied their gambling urge, and I saw how this was toxic. I learned from what I saw and I careful the way I played gambling,  I didn't make it a hobby or alternative of making money when I'm in need  for money.

I know this is very hard to maintain or learn from because of ignorant, yes we believe that luck aren't the same so those who lost money or lost valuables weren't their time to succeed through gambling or possibly they are not professional with their forms of selections. I can still tell you that even though gambling warning are still posted in every street or local shops maybe as an aids that displays whenever you opened a gambling or casino site you would still see that there will be some people who won't still stop or reduce the rate at which they gamble just as you said about the cigarette until they are being harmed for on the cost of consuming much parks of it, so it's a personal choice to choose whether to adjust or learned from what has happened to other person.

People gamble for various reasons, if we check we might find that many gamblers don't actually gamble for the money but using gambling as a approach to free their mind from the worries of life they are passing through and by constantly doing that to get relieved that's how they indirectly get addicted becoming an uncontrollable behavior.

In agreement to what you said it's through the support of a professional that the addiction can be remedied and not just the reading of articles about the dreadful experiences of gamblers before them. It's an expert that will know where and how to come into the situation to render the actual support.

Most new gamblers come because they usually see wins on their social media or stream gamblers showing wins so most new gamblers don't come from someone else's bad experience, but instead come because of other people's enjoyment so they are stuck with their own game and are not responsible. so gambling goes beyond limits and becomes addictive.

New gamblers will be responsible if they experience losses that they feel and experience the fact that in casinos that winning is very difficult, it is not as easy as streamers and influencers winning gambling at casinos, it is rare for gamblers to come because of a bad experience, someone who exists is they come because they see the experience someone's victory. It's the same as when new smokers try smoking because they want to look cool and be seen by everyone, not come to smoke because of someone's experience of illness caused by smoking.  

Reading other people's bad experiences will not stop us from trying something, but it will certainly make us much more cautious. That's probably the point, it's not good to rush into something without any knowledge and awareness that things can go wrong... and sometimes things go the wrong way. It's good to do your research before getting into something, but unfortunately, many people don't do it. That's why we see many people crying after losing.
