Topic: Gamble Responsibly - page 44. (Read 11388 times)

I feel that when people are lazy in other activities and only gambling that they believe brings wealth in luck, it can be considered as a severe addiction, their mindset will be very bad when offered more positive and more trusting gambling even though they have lost a lot of money in it.

Bad behavior by thinking they will get millions of dollars, this will never happen especially when they are just a class of amateur gamblers with less deposits but insist on it.

       -    That kind of concept of belief in gambling is a bit of a bad belief in fact, because the more they think they will get millions of dollars when luck is on their side, the more they will fall into having an addiction to it, something that is not good and difficult to get rid of.

And if you look at it literally, it can be considered a lazy job, as if for them you can get millions of money in the easy way of gambling. That is if you hold or control luck.

Following your statement OP, that wrong impression with gambling is what more people got addicted into it, that easy to earn patterns most of those who wanted a quick result experienced huge losses, thinking that by luck beside them they will quickly earn a huge amount of money, and because of that laziness they will not stop and will continue to this same process.

I guess more on excuses and not thinking in the right way, gambling is more on the risk side and only a small percentage will make some money out from the casino, more on those who will lose their money so have that time to assess yourself, don't count yourself as lazy trying to use this venue to make an easy profits, instead use it for a temporary entertainment.

In my tribe a lazy person loves gambling more than hardworking and while growing up I started to see how true this is, if we think very well we will see that gambling suits those who are lazy more because all you have is pressing some buttons and numbers hoping you make millions, how can you start from scratch and build your way up with solid foundation when you believe that you can make millions in gambling instead?

It sound like the very way a lazy fellow will follow isn't it? Because gambling look like a easy way of getting rich for the fools who don't want to work and build themselves up, it's the same way the poor don't like the sound of long-term investment and honestly they are the ones lacking the most.

One of the gambling strategy I adopted is that after enjoying a consistent winning streaks I do withdraw my profits and divert it to other things either investment or pay for goods and services leaving some little funds in my account, because I knew that consistently winning bets wouldn't be sustain in the long run no matter how professional a gambler is there is bound to be down turn when losing some bets will inevitable, this is based on my own personal experience, however the fact the I gambled with the amount of money I can afford to lose doesn't take any toll on me and the total profit earned outweighed that of losses thus I will be contended with myself and refund my betting account to start another round of bettings.

It is not all winning streaks that leads to defeats but it has been proven that many winning streaks leads to losses. So it is advisable to always stop playing when you have won consecutively. But if I were to advice, I will say that when you are on a winning streak, you should rather set out a budget from your win to continue playing. When that budget is exhausted, you will stop playing, that is the best to do. If you continue playing, it is certain that you cannot continue winning.

I agree gambling addiction always leads to losses and it can never be a way of earning. Those who choose it as a means of earning a living are at risk because there is no guarantee of winnings in gambling, it depends entirely on luck. A lazy person can do nothing in life like any other hobby related to gambling, there are some problems and weekly people suffering from addiction lose huge amount of money, face financial problems, get into debt and can't stop betting in online casinos.

When someone is in loss or have won something out of gambling, then the same will be remembered for a longer time period. This will surely trigger the person to get into gambling. Here we won't be able to have a proper count to term it too many. Everything depends on the behavioral changes that had happened with the person. If gamblers were questioned on addiction, surely the majority will say that they aren't addicted. Reality differs from the statement from the gamblers. Everyone need to self examine and realise what had happened and the measure to get out of it than feeling worried and losing more and more.

This is a good metric as well, as even if someone could stop gambling for a lot of time if they are always thinking about gambling then there is something wrong with them, and they were just able to stop gambling for so long by thinking about their previous gambling experiences, however this can be difficult to measure as it would be normal for a person to think about gambling once in a while during that period, and there is no way to determine how many times is too many and could indicate some kind of gambling problem.

Yes, you are right, but at least in my case I have tried many times, make big bets and go big, only the truth is that I have not had the necessary luck, and that is something that I have not been able to change. In fact, every time I do it, it goes wrong, which is why I have learned that with my economic capacity I should not do it, because I will lose everything, and if I lose everything, my detour is over and there is nothing worse than wanting to have a good time having fun.

The mentality is not that of being a defeatist person, but that of knowing that the advantage belongs to the house, that you compete against that and against the same Advantage of the private game, which makes it doubly difficult to win, if you bet in moderation the result cannot be the same, there will be more opportunities to win, and if you win you Recover , making the playing time longer, Although there are times when the game does not last at all, when you lose you also lose as a being.

Well , Personally, this strategy has led me to Always be in control of what I do in the game, it's not a lie that sometimes things can get out of control because of Emotions , it's Normal, but I think that the main limitation for every player is money, and from there comes the problem of addiction, you can't continue playing without money, and if a Person has lost a lot of money, sometimes what they think about is recovering those losses, and that's very bad , because for In general, instead of recovering what he achieves , he Makes things worse and loses Even more.

Please slow down before writing off a generation. Its alarming, but dont assume everyone acts like some of them. Teens often experiment, which can go awry.

Addiction is terrible, but shaming individuals isn't the solution. Compassion, teaching, and support can benefit these folks. If we desire change, we must participate.

Why not lead community activities or workshops on doing good? Give them hobbies like athletics, art, or volunteering. These kids are ready to do good.

I study gambling problems, and there is a certain trait among the stories of people addicted to the game: when they are deeply immersed in the game and in debt, they stop betting on certain specific matches that they understood at the beginning of their gambler's journey. For example, a dependent gambler at the beginning of the path can only bet on a few events in a football match. And then, when things get really bad, such people start betting on everything, assuring themselves that they understand everything a little bit.
But the chances are certainly less!
And such a person understands this... and he hates himself at the moments of such bets.

That's the story of almost every addicted gambler, they know no stopping until they have nothing left to gamble, and even then, they try to find a way to get more money only to continue gambling because the urge just doesn't leave their mind and keeps tickling and telling them that they will now win something big if they play just a little bit more, and that little bit more keeps getting stretched until they lose everything they've gathered once again.

Most people don't gamble for fun but they do it to earn money so that they don't need to work, I consider addicted gamblers lazy people because they want to use gambling as an excuse to not work to earn money and they want to earn a living through it which isn't possible.

That's why we must have awareness in playing gambling and if we can win games in a row, it is good luck for us. Other people probably won't be able to get on a winning streak like us, so we have to remember to stop immediately. Never think we can get more wins because if we continue playing gambling, we can experience defeats and maybe the losses will be bigger. And it is true that we must be able to control ourselves in gambling games so we don't have to experience many losses.

You are right that mate and this thought what I said before that if a gambler or if we are in the situation that we are on win streak then we can say that this is not enough I want to play more so that I can win more money but without thinking that we are not in ourself which means readiness is the one who overcome our feelings and that's the reason why we cannot control ourself and we bet spontaneously without knowing that we already losses a big amount.

If they don't try hard to suppress the thought of gambling, they will return to gambling because they think they can win big one day. Quitting gambling requires strong will and the awareness that gambling is not giving good results for them so they must stop as soon as possible. And so he doesn't think about gambling, he has to create or do some other activity to divert his thoughts about gambling. But if he still wants to return to gambling, he must have the ability to control himself so that it is not too late to stop gambling. Gambling can make him lose a lot of money if he can't control himself.

It is true greed will dominate us when a winning streak comes but if we have strong self-control, we will not be tempted to continue gambling but will immediately stop and withdraw the money. And if we could repeat another day, we would learn to be responsible gamblers who can gamble well, stop on time, and prevent big losses. And no regrets will arise because we can think of gambling as entertainment. And we also won't gamble too much because we already know the risks.

The question is that is there anything like public responsibility that is to say acting responsibly in the eye of the public and what their perceptions are towards gambling, and as a matter of fact, anyone who wants to gamble is free as long as the individual is above 18 he or she is free to gamble, it does not matter whether the public critics may arise but the ultimate goals are to attain self-satisfaction and that can only be gotten by self-discipline and relaxation to make the best stake in the games.

most people don't seem to care much about things like having responsibilities, i say that because in my neighborhood even from monday to sunday people, especially young people, stay in bars until late at night, most of the time they wake up in bars drinking beer and playing gambling, what is saddest about it all is that they make noise with their screaming and fights they keep having due to disagreement between them, constantly when they keep drinking beer for a long time they end up fighting each other

this is something that really shocked me, because I recently moved and before that I always lived in a very quiet place, I confess that I did not expect to see this type of behavior coming from people, before I only saw it in the news that was on TV and in the newspapers about the bad behavior that people had in other neighborhoods, but now that I am in this neighborhood I can see in practice the bad consequences of alcohol addiction, addiction to gambling, because that word addiction, is the right word to describe what those young people in my neighborhood are

unfortunately, most gamblers are looking this on a different side as most are trying to earn money by gambling. the approach of the gambler towards gambling varies from one person to another as they have different agenda when they go to this industry.
the responsibility lies on the gambler himself, how he can contain himself when in front of his games.

I see many guys have quoted me as well as are either criticizing me with their arguments. TBH, I'd say - to each, their own. In my views, I'd do as I've said in my previous post that keeping a journal would really help me a lot. Let's say for example, if I'm playing a blackjack game, it doesn't involve skill but luck and I'm okay with that, but all I do is, I'd just add notes with + and - with a fixed bet each time so that I know how much I'm making and how much I'm losing. There's nothing like you can't do, all you need is focus, even in luck based games, let's say you analyze 10-20 games that you play, you'll know whether you're in profit or loss (I know most will come and say that they can see the balance but still, doing it my style will help them to stop at some point if losses take over profits).
