Topic: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler - page 3. (Read 1194 times)

I will tell you that once you fall into addiction, the only thing that makes you happy is when you win. If you can see that some gambler compromises their finances and budgets, it means these gamblers are not just playing for fun but already chasing their losses. I'm not sure what you mean by frugal in gambling because if you mean the real meaning of that, you'd better not gamble any amount but instead, make use of it to invest. As I gamble using my extra money, I have no problem with it even if I lose.

As players, we should have limits that we cannot violate, especially limits on using money in gambling. Even though we have budgeted a certain amount of money for gambling, that doesn't mean we can use a lot of money for gambling. We must realize that gambling is an interesting entertainment and can forget what we must do. For this reason, we must always be alert when playing gambling, and if we have experienced loss many times, maybe it is time for us to stop gambling before more losses come to us. From there, we can save money so that we can have money to gamble another day, and we also don't force ourselves to gamble after losing several times.

I think gambling works as an addiction. But one who is addicted to this addiction can never do anything good. If someone is addicted to gambling to get rich then there is a high chance of losing all money. We should control gambling.  Keep gambling and enjoy the fun. Otherwise we can wear big time. I have lost money for gambling few times but now I am not so addicted to gambling.

Yes, it must be done without pressure. if gambling to get rich is very wrong. here we are just players, even the dealer can be unfair if they want. but if we play for entertainment it will be more interesting. some games such as casino are more challenging. We have to know what the benefits and disadvantages are before going any further.

We live and we learn... new fish or oldtimer we always learn new tricks. It's not easy to act in some ways, but if life forces us we will learn to adapt and we will learn to find new ways that will work.

I guess it's hard to combine "frugal and gambling" in one sentence, I think that all comes down to the deposits we make. It's hard to control the urge to play, but we need to find a way to control that urge and to deposit just what we can afford to lose in some period. If we lose we should just wait and not deposit for a week or two, maybe a month. We can be "frugal gamblers" only like that because once we make a deposit and start playing it's hard to play slow.

By always being careful in doing anything related to gambling, we will not experience bad things like the ones you mentioned above.
It could be that a gambler experiences something like that because he is not in control when gambling, and as a result he does not get pleasure, he will even regret without realizing that he has lost.
If you just want to entertain yourself, you should look for activities that don't harm you, for example exercising with friends, but if you are still going to gamble with the aim of having fun then you have to pay attention to your self-control. placing limited bets or only small amounts. In order to avoid risks that will occur.

You are talking as if it easy to act such.

best to tell those to newly interested in gambling than completely gambler. and most not to be in addicted gambler.

I still think the majority of the gamblers understand very well what gambling is for, it is just that the minority of the gamblers that refuse to accept this generate and bring too much attention to themselves, so when the regular population sees how out of control are those gamblers then they associate that image with all the gamblers and think that every single gambler is like that, but this is not really true, however such an image is almost impossible to erase as it is simply too strong and it is what causes many people to be against gambling, even if for the majority of us gambling is nothing more but a harmless hobby.

We will never know how the gambling system works because only the casino knows. We can only be gamblers who don't chase win because in gambling, we can only use it as entertainment. Gambling is done only in free time and not continuously, which will cause problems for us. And as I said before, we must be able to prevent gambling addiction because it will worsen our life situation and it will be difficult for us to cure it, especially if no one can or wants to help us. And for this reason, we must always limit the use of money for gambling so as not to experience these problems.

We have successful gamblers in the system; how do you believe they got their profits? Obviously, it wasn't by random predictions; instead, they educated themselves on the system's main cornerstone and ultized their concepts and initiatives into fundamental purposes. I'm not familiar with the system because gambling is not something we should be proud of; instead, stick to exploratory thoughts that will result in massive profit margins. Gambling constitutes an event we should do in our spare time, not something we should do in order to earn an excessive amount of money.

This means we already know that gambling is a game and entertainment, so we don't need to gamble continuously in the hope of winning. The impact of playing gambling continuously is a gambling addiction that we may not be able to face, but we also won't know if we are already addicted to gambling. And I agree with only using extra money to gamble so that we won't gamble too often and only gamble in moderation. And always avoiding losing a lot can make us aware of the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling and we will be able to prevent it from happening to us. We must limit our gambling activities to avoid experiencing problems that will arise later.

If only individuals who view gambling as a means of financial gain could comprehend that gambling is intended to be a form of entertainment rather than being looked to for financial benefits necessary for survival and wealth.

I feel weak about how people view gambling in today's society because of the horrible stories I hear about gamblers. It is unfortunate that the majority of gamblers have developed gambling addictions and have strayed from the game's original "for fun" intent by seeing it as a way to become wealthy.

Gambling is all about fun but people have misunderstood gambling in all forms, so I believe that gambling is what we all know that people hope depends on, what I really understand in gambling is that we have to in one or two ways make sure that we don't expect anything from gambling because expecting something in gambling will make you to be discouraged, so therefore gamble to catch fun don't gamble in order to make money but gamble to catch only fun. When you have money in mind you will continue to lose money

It's okay to have a mindset of gambling for fun but what if you are losing? It's not funny anymore.

When you do gambling, always take it seriously while having fun. It's more fun to do gambling if we are winning rather than losing. Don't always take the reason that it's ok to lose because you afford to lose that amount.

Of course, don't consider gambling as a source of financial investment. That's a horrible thing to do.

First of all, thank you for what you said in this thread. I think, there is nothing wrong with what you say, also based on what you have seen from people who have lost a lot of money from gambling. however, let me say according to my experience and understanding. I really understand what you are saying, even before you created this thread we already knew what we were supposed to do. including, the best for us.
Gambling is instant entertainment in the current era that is no longer foreign to people in cities and even the world. Gambling offers entertainment from every game that the casino platform offers, even though there are risks involved in it. and at this point, a gambler must be fully aware of all the risks of this type of entertainment. not only to be aware of, but to understand too. In fact, it involves understanding and responsibility.

To achieve fun things, in the concept of gambling, one needs a broad understanding. The idea of ​​having fun is an ideal concept, so that someone who likes this type of entertainment doesn't get caught up in terrible things like what you said. It's just that, the problem is that every person/gambler has a different point of view. also, how they treat gambling for themselves. and not everyone has a broad understanding, especially as most communities say you have to have discipline. such things, require a mindset that is aligned with the idea of ​​just “having fun.” in practice, the idea of ​​having fun is not as simple as we say. Not infrequently, even someone who has high discipline likes to get carried away, even with emotions of anger when defeat befalls us.

For me, gambling is simple. not just fun, because these ideas sometimes don't align when we have a gambling session. I mean, when we lose it means it's no longer fun. If you think or assume that gambling is complicated, dangerous and scary, you should just leave it and look for other pleasures, but for me it's simple. there are only two possibilities when I have a gambling session, winning or losing. It's just that, there are conditions that I apply in my gambling concept. The money I bet is not money that is supposed to be basic or family needs. which means, the money we prepare to have fun regardless of winning or losing. with the scenario when we lose, we will not lose our basic needs money. and this concept, quite safe for me, does not even cause problems. also, it doesn't harm the closest parties.

But asking these people to stop gambling is basically asking them to stop breathing for the most part. A lot of addicted gamblers I know have this thing ingrained in their personality and lifestyle that sometimes, it becomes their entire identity. A lot of them are given ultimatums like threats of divorce or the wife taking the kids for good before they even realize that there's something wrong with what they are doing. It's just like that.

Financial literacy is just one scope in a large array of solutions that they may employ, the best of which is to literally go monk mode and embark on a meditative quest away from technology and the internet. It's quite pricey but it would definitely open your eyes. Couldn't say I've done it myself but a derivative of it which is called "touching grass" has been found to be just as effective.

In my opinion, gambling is actually not a problem if as many people have said, it is for the purpose of having fun. However there are still some people who consider gambling to be a source of income for them.
In fact, not all gamblers are minimally literate about the many articles and cases that show the negative impacts caused by gambling activities.
I think they actually know because the news and many cases of the negative impact of gambling activities have always existed even before they were born, but most of them ignore it because they think it's better to try the opportunity to gamble which they think is a shortcut to get money quickly without perform various kinds of difficult tasks like someone who "works" in general.
What the OP said is true, that in essence we must be able to educate ourselves and control our desires so as not to gamble excessively, and we must know the limits of our abilities so that we do not exceed our abilities and financial limits when gambling and causing big losses for ourselves.

There are many threads like this on this board. I wish you would just drop your comment there.

However, obviously, gambling is mainly for fun for those who understand how it goes and how it’s affecting people's lives emotionally and financially at the end of the day. When you do it too much, anybody who sees gambling as a financial investment or means to get money is definitely creating a way for themselves that will make them regret it because they will definitely have problems at the end of the day.

Again, not a way to get money and meet up financial needs is very wrong, and such a person is creating way for himself to get addicted to gambling when he is too lazy to work and get money, then chooses gambling to get money. You can see that he will be doing it repeatedly, which he will easily get addicted to because there is no way he will get money than gambling, which he was the causative agent of such a problem. So for anyone who sees gambling as a financial investment or way to get their problems solved, they should quickly change before it becomes late for them.


Setting up a budget for gambling is very important. I usually gamble with less than 10% of my income every week, and it’s okay for me once I deposit the money into my wallet for the week, even if it’s finished and I don’t win. I’m not bothering myself because I don’t mind even if I lose the money because that's what it’s for. Even if the money deposited in the account finishes, I don’t put anything there again. I usually have control over my emotions when it comes to things like this.

Yes, responsible gamblers are already aware about that. Instead of spending big and losing high, they will only stick on spending their spare money so that if ever they lose it, it will never affect their finances that much. Gambling will never guarantee us successful profits all the time, that's the reason why we should only bet on the amount we can easily manage to lose. It's means to be enjoyed, and that would only be possible if we can limit our losses in gambling so we can enjoy those games to the fullest.
