Topic: Gamble Responsibly - page 53. (Read 11130 times)

Still ends up with the self-will of the person, I like that example and it was a good comparison even it's clear in our mind that gambling can harm us without proper control we still continue and we still test our limitation, to the point that we exceed from the target and that's where the problem begins, without strong system inside you to prevent or avoid yourself to engage that much, you are still prone to addiction, we cannot conclude anything as it's really self acceptance and self base opinions.

This happens because people still have the choice to do whatever they want, even if this goes against their self-interests, and in fact this is very common and starts from a very early age, after all who has not seen a kid which does not like to eat vegetables or that refuses to go and see the dentist?

A parent could explain why doing certain activities we may not like could be for the better, but at the end the kid still does not want to do it, and this is the same, we all know what we need to do to keep our gambling under control, but if a person does not want to follow that advice then that is their decision and we cannot do anything to change it.

 Gambling is very difficult to quit one become additicted to it and one of the major reason why people become addict is greed, not knowing when to quit, if you're new to gambling I'll advice you stick to a particular predictions strategy for a start, master it then start with smaller wins and stick to it. Do not let the greed of making quick money push you into staking high on risky odds.

 One of the best way to approach gambling is to see it a side hustle or means of fun during leisures not as a major source of income because there's no refund when you lose, it is said that one should have several sources of income but then not gambling because you could lose everything while trying to make more.
 
 Keep record of your games both winnings and losses to help you when you pause or quit it would also help you to know the level of your progress and also most gambling are about sports so you ought to be a good in sports and know about several sporting activities which would help you with your predictions. And if you feel you're not satisfied with your predictions you could seek help from experts and help perfect your predicting skills.

That's what I'm pointing, we all have differences in terms of interpreting the outcome and how we react after the first few attempts during playing, if we lose it's our choice what to do next, and same with how you describe it, if the person wanted to continue then he will deposit and will try to recover those money and that's another risk that can lead him to addiction, while for other who will take it as charge to experience then quit, then it will save them for losing more.

Not all gamblers think like this. Me including many others consider ourselves as players not gamblers. Players spend money to have fun regardless of the result. Some of them become more excited when they lose more than when they win. Gamblers gave a different mindset and they are the one who are more prone to become addicted because they don't accept losing, although it's part of the game.

?
Really it reassures you to be addicted, come on, it's a shame that many come here to talk about such a serious topic and just want to complete their thoughts in some way, so, they make it them write stupid things like saying and I quote: "So I don't think gambling is bad in any way but peace of mind if I am addicted to gambling."

Gambling addiction is serious and should be dealt with by professionals, if you think that you are addicted, you should consult a professional and stay away from gambling.

Those people who just entered the gambling industry are called newbies and majority of them doesn't have that much idea how dangerous gambling is. We all have different attitude and personalities and this greatly affects on how we will react after the first gambling session you have. There are people who immediately stop after lossing money from gambling but there are other who want to get back the money they lost. It differs from person to person and the uncontrollable situtation like over gambling and over spending are the result of their personalities that will greatly affect their approach toward gambling. Imagine someone who is a newbie that has a great self control characteristic, what do you think will happen to that newbie after playing a single session? There are many factors, person to person.

In every society, there are different kinds of people: those who will be doing things wrongly, those who will think they are doing the right thing despite being cautioned for any unethical thing they are doing, and those who will do the right thing the way it should be. Someone said the other day that most of these issues start with parental upbringing, which doesn't really add up. Although it could help someone become better in life, the truth is that anyone who wants to corrupt can just use the influence of others to change over night. There is this popular saying that "good things are hard and take time to build up, but it doesn't take much time to destroy something." Even if you raise a child with good morals, there is still a great chance that they can grow up and decide to choose another path, like most gamblers who choose to cause problems for themselves most of the time.

Exactly, we have that control as a gambler before you step your foot into gambling you are aware about the risk, the thing that lead you into addiction or into an un-controllable situation is when you start to exceed from your set plan, once the adrenaline inside you already asking for more and you keep pushing for more, that responsibility will turn into out-of-control gamings.

It's your responsibility when you make your decision. If you are into entertainment, that's good to save your ass, but if you are into
making money. That's the thing that will lead you to fall.

It's not often that one openly acknowledges the inherent loss embedded in gambling yet continues to partake in it unabashedly, citing the 'fun' it offers. Academic research and numerous philosophical discourses argue that gambling, like any other form of addiction, can distort one's perception of risk and reward, creating a 'fun' illusion. Intriguingly, you appear to embrace this illusion, a viewpoint that's worth dissecting in a larger context. But let's not forget that this 'fun' has a price, often leading to financial distress, personal hardship, and a cycle of debt. You mentioned borrowing money to gamble - can the ephemeral thrill of a gamble truly justify the long-term ramifications of such actions?

You are right by saying that gambling has two sides one is positive and the other is negative. However, most people who gamble often turn out to be using the negative side of the gambling as they think that gambling could make them rich over night and they spend thousands of dollars on gambling just in dream of becoming rich. They end up losing all the money, and get addicted to gambling, and such people will spend everything on gambling, and they can even sell their household items and properties to regain the money that they have lost during gambling. If someone of them turns out to be lucky then he/she might end up getting the lost money back, but still he/she will lose it again because of their addiction and greed.

Gambling has a positive side and that's its entertaining part. If we earn some money from gambling then that should be enough for us because we got both entertainment and money at the same time, but if we play more, than we can lose  both of those that we earned with gambling. I like sports betting to some extent and when I win most of my bets it makes me happy, but I only bet when I'm 70% sure that I have higher chance of winning. I must say that I have also lost many of my bets and that's why I can say that gambling is unpredictable, and it's your luck which will determine either you will lose or win the bets.

All people want to maintain professionalism in gambling but it is extremely difficult. While some may maintain his professionalism in gambling for a short period of time, he became known as an addicted gambler in the long term. A gambler must conduct gambling without getting too much excitement. Greediness of more winnings in gambling works in almost all gamblers so a gambler must be careful about that. Responsible gambling will be easier if greed can be controlled.

Since this is possible then why do we keep seeing some people being under addiction or found with one or more abnormality attached to their gambling lifestyle experience, we have some benefits and advantages meant for us to have by default without any more discomforts coming in along with them than when we on our own way introduced some to our gambling experience, we have the control to this and what we determine to see is what we do and put in more efforts which turns to be either we are gambling responsibly or not.

Exactly, every single thing in this world has two sides, a positive side, and a negative side, now it depends on us how we utilize that thing, if we use it in a good way, it won't be bad or harmful for us, but if we do it in the wrong way, we will definitely need to face the consequences of our actions. It's not that thing that is bad but it is us and our way of using it that makes it bad and harmful either for us or for someone else around us.

Gambling is exactly like that, if you use it only to have some fun and pass your time without wagering a lot of money and getting yourself addicted to it, it wouldn't be a bad thing for you, but if you take gambling as a way of earning money, spend a lot of money to get something out of it and also lose control and get addicted, that will be harmful to you for sure.

Everything you have said is true and I totally agree with that but what is very concerning is that almost all gamblers cannot do it and most people gamble brutally to be able to make big wins.
From this we can see that indeed the point of view of a gambler is to use the gambling industry as a place to make profits, not fun.
So how can they have self-control and thoughts or use the money they can receive when they lose so they can become responsible gamblers?

We should just be responsible gamblers, because if we neglect the matter of being responsible, our destination will surely be an addiction to gambling that can lead to the destruction of our personality, relationships with family, friends and others.
In addition to being responsible for gambling, we must also have control over ourselves in things that should not be done, such as if we lose, we should stop.

But before we have the right mindset about gambling, we can experience ups and downs, so that should make us think about changing ourselves, especially the mindset. We also have to control ourselves so we don't get too deep into gambling. By becoming responsible gamblers, we can change ourselves to be even better at gambling. Being better here means we try to be wise gamblers who don't chase anything in gambling.

If we just play gambling for fun, we can control ourselves very well because we have nothing to chase. We just want to enjoy gambling and whatever the outcome, we can accept it and stop before all the money is gone. And having this healthy mindset will help us avoid the risk of losing money and gambling addiction problems.

I don't think anyone has been into gambling with losing money; despite the experience you have had, I believe you still lose your bets even more than your wins because that is what gambling is all about: you will win less and lose more. Gambling is fun, and there is no one I know who ever starts gambling and just stops halfway; they always get stuck in the middle. That's even the reason why so many people get fond of it and even borrow just to satisfy their desire to gamble. I also started gambling a long time ago, and despite that, I have had several reasons to stop gambling, but I haven't. I can't stop what gives me fun.

The pros and cons of gambling are more than that, when someone is addicted to gambling, there is a lot of misery in his family and if the gambler is constantly losing money in his gambling, there is more misery in his family. The gambler is then forced to sell important family assets to manage the gambling money. Then without considering the future, without thinking about the family, without considering the safety of his wife and children, he is forced to sell all the family property, so his family has to spend a lot of misery and misery for the next life.
So a gambler should always keep in mind when he indulges in gambling that his family and himself are not harmed by gambling. He should consider gambling as a pastime and never take gambling as a career. Gambling should be indulged in with the view that gambling should not cause trouble to his family members and that gambling should have confidence in himself.

There are so many definitions regarding professional gambling. The main thing is,  any gamblers must be responsible for what they have done. It doesn't matter how much they lose or win and they must accept that as personal responsibility in gambling.
They must have control over their mind even if they were not addicted. Self control is a must when someone wanna be a professional gamblers.
