Then in the end they will say that "I should have stopped betting earlier so I wouldn't have led to a big loss" their regret its too too late.

Yeah when we say regret, it is always at the end.  It is the feeling of having the burden of a wrong decision.  So if we wanted to avoid it, we must allocate the amount we can afford to lose and control ourselves firmly.
Most gamblers are almost like that, even I'm not a hypocrite, sometimes I feel sorry at the end when I'm lulled by a game that gives me consecutive wins, but I forget that my initial goal was not to play for money but to have fun, knowingly that I had achieved pleasure and spending money. for my daily gambling is up I will stop with the game when I have reached satisfaction.

Everyone knows that regret always comes at the end of the game, but true gamblers who know the risks of gambling will not care about regret because all they have to do is accept defeat and risk gracefully, because I'm sure all gamblers play gambling consciously so why regret it also will not return anything that has been lost.

That's the reason  why as a gambler we need to know first our self-control and self-limitations. Because there are two effects of gambling the positive one and the negative one and we all aware of that. Cause beyond our limitations then we can not control our self such us we bet out of our plan then that's the time called that that we obsessed with gambling and if we can not control that then it will lead us to addiction.

We should also not expects this emotional imbalance with gamblers to have a solution coming from the gambling platforms, they would rather want a continuation of it and if possible with an addition, because that's part of the means they make their own money from, they are not after the control of our experience and consequences we are placed with, if we cannot condole a modest life experience with gambling, should they be the ones to fix that up for us?

   -   When self-control is used correctly, it will followed by self-limitation, therefore losses can be avoided. Because most of the time gambler cannot get rid of the words "I will bet again because I feel that this time I will be right and I will recover my loss" these kinds of thoughts are what drives them that they don't realize they are getting loss continously without noticing it.

Then in the end they will say that "I should have stopped betting earlier so I wouldn't have led to a big loss" their regret its too too late.
Thoughts like that can trap gamblers to keep betting because they think this one round will be the last time they gamble and will stop after that. Even though this is not the case because most of them will continue to say things like that because they think one last round will recover their losses. And what's even worse, many of them immediately place bets with big money so that the losses will be even bigger when they lose.

After that loss, they said they were sorry but oddly enough, they didn't realize it the next day when they gambled again. And that caused them to experience another defeat that could be even bigger.

Yes, we still have to learn more about self-control because we often lose control when gambling. And there's no time to stop learning self-control because it's hard to do. But even though it's difficult, we still have to learn and try it because only that can prevent us from losing big. And even though many people have failed to control themselves, we must not give up and keep learning so we can gamble responsibly. After all, if we can do that, we will also benefit from that self-control to limit our gambling activities.
In my opinion, if someone knows his true nature, it means if he knows that he has a vulnerable nature or is easily provoked, it is better to avoid gambling because this will have a very bad impact on one's life. In addition, it is very difficult to know the true nature of a person's personality in him. Seeing other people entangled in gambling and losing everything, in my opinion, can be used as a reference so that we don't do the same thing or be in the same position. However, most people are curious, addicted when they win, and curious when they lose. They always think that they can be one of the lucky people among other people and are too optimistic, but if we think more clearly this is just luck, meaning they will win if luck comes.
Self-control is very important and anyone who have the character of self-control, make it very easy for such a person to leave successfully with others and be able to avoid some things such as gambling addictions and other addiction that may affect individual life negatively.

Gambling addiction is one serious negative factor that affects the overall acceptance of gambling in many places but if an individual has self-control then the case will be easy to deal with because there have been an increasing number of gambling addiction behavioural patterns among many recently.

There is nothing responsible about gambling and as a matter of fact, gamblers are mostly referred to as responsible people and in some countries, gambling is banned and citizens that indulge in them are arrested.

But then we still have a few others who can control their gambling urge, and this reflects in the kind of choices they make.
Gambling is just a form of entertainment and nothing more, so the majority of the gamblers out there can in fact gamble responsibly, it is just that there are a few addicted gamblers out there which give it a bad reputation, however for some reason people react very harshly against it, after all if I were to guess the number of addicted gamblers and the number of people addicted to video games, the latter should be a much larger number and yet there is not a public outcry to ban video games, something we do see against gambling from time to time.

High self-awareness is an ability that everyone must have, especially if they are active gamblers because without that ability, gamblers will only bring themselves down because the expectations they have for the results of their gambling do not match the reality that is happening.  i once met someone who came out of the casino and still put on a relaxed face even though he had lost a lot, when I asked what the secret was, he became self-aware because i was ready for whatever happened to my gambling today whether i would lose or win.
Well, you are mostly right, one of the outstanding benefits of being aware of self in gambling is that it helps a gambler deal with losses easily, like the man you said came out of a gambling casino with a smiling face, there are times where by I start feeling really angry couple of hours after ending a gambling session, simply due to loses  I incurred in that session, it simply  means I wasn't really aware of myself while I was gambling., I started feeling angry after I came back to my senses - this is how many gamblers operate, I've come across a lot them like that.
The earlier you do make out those realizations the better because if you do find yourself that being that blind and tolerating your spending without even trying to look on how much you've been spending. Then for sure you would really be having that disastrous situation in regarding finances. You should really always have that set a border line or fine line about or speaking about limitation because we know that
if things turns out to be messy then if you have spent out all of your money in gambling then sooner or later you would be finding out that you dont have something to pull on your pocket
and even spending up your life savings. This is where the problem starts to kick in.

People would really be only making out those self realizations on the time that they are on a hard situation on which it isnt really that something shocking in correlating this stuff or something that
connects in real life situations.

Indeed, each day we play we should keep learning that self-control as at any moment you will lose it and exceed with your
set limits. That's really something that is hard to resist.

You have to keep practicing and keep doing your best to make sure that you will be able to work on and not to allow your emotions to mess up.

Think of something that will keep reminds you about the limitations and never to let anything to bother you.
It's true what you say. By continuing to practice self-control, I'm sure we will be able to stay within the limits we have set so that we can take care of ourselves while gambling. And while it may take some time until we really gain control of ourselves, it's still worth practicing and trying. We have to be someone who is not easily tempted by attractive offers from casinos so that we can enjoy gambling time. And being responsible gambler, we can achieve if we practice seriously.

It requires years of practicing patience to have control over your emotions, it's your emotions that make you take decisions in your life, now whether a decision is good or bad for you is dependent on what kind of emotion made you take that decision. We all know that decisions taken in anger are mostly wrong, that is why we are advised by elders not to take any decisions when you are angry.

In gambling, when we lose, we start getting angry and anxious, and that makes us make bad and hasty decisions which leads us to lose even more. So it's all your emotions that make that happen, and you need to practice controlling your emotions.
It doesn't matter if it takes years of practicing patience, we have to keep at it if we are to be responsible gamblers because we have already seen what happens to gamblers who lose control or self-control. We all don't want to be someone who can't control himself and tends to get emotional, so we must work on it.

Practicing self-control is very important because having it well can help us make the right decisions according to the conditions. We can also control our emotions and know when to stop gambling when emotions get involved.

What can I say? He's a high roller. Give him your ref link! Smiley

But if seriously, it depends heavily on his income. He can be still a responsible gambler if he earns like $10k per month.

LoL, I think you make a good point here 😂.

That's true. If it's in finance, the guy is really dopp. He's a professional in his profession, and it's indeed paying him off every damn fucking day. He's not really making $10,000 per month, but in the kind of business he does, he doesn't earn less than $100 per day (am not kidding).

Okay, then he makes $2k-$3k per month, and when he loses $100 or $200 he can afford to lose it. For someone making $400 per month $100 is huge money, and something is not right with such person if he bets this amount at once, but for your friend it's affordable to lose $100 to gambling once in a while. If gambling makes him happy, he can work more effectively and make even more money with his job, and who are we to judge him? He is a responsible gambler, imo.

The more we gamble less the more we get interesting in the world of gambling but its up to us if we can control ourselves as we all know that once we involve in gambling we can not deny the fact that sometimes we will feel like in gambling we are comfortable. So it's up to us if we can control our selves in to a educated gambler that we gamble for the sake of joy and not for earning. Because gambling is for fun not a job.

In order to save yourself from losing money, I think it's not the quantity that matters. You can gamble less and still lose money. The more important thing is money management and the plan with which you enter in gambling. If you know how much money you will put in each game or bet, you have a pre-defined plan on what will be your course of action on a loss or a win, then in that case you will not lose money regardless of the fact that you gamble more often or rarely gamble.

Yeah, I agree that gambling will not give you any fixed earnings, so gambling to have fun is also very important but at the same time, not losing money should be the ultimate goal too.
You are very correct, and I agree with you, one of the ways to really have a stress free gambling is to only gamble with a fund that is already provisioned for it, making funds available for gambling will ensure that the gambler never end up gambling with funds he or she can't afford to loose.
Though it take special care and discipline, nothing really good, profitable ever comes at a cost that is free, gambling is an activity that should never be depended on as a means of living in terms of finance, gambling should be more or a fun adventure for the gambler, than of a way to make money.

Yes and as a gambler we will make sure that we can control ourselves and focus for fun but in reality there are many gamblers who are in addiction and they cant control themselves to gamble anytime. Which is still okay if they don't have their own family and they are rich enough. But if you are in a middle stage of life then it's better to gamble for fun and use our extra money in order to prevent addiction and lost more money.

In casinos, like everywhere else, there are always people who are very good players, others who lose control easily and always lose, and there are also players who are addicted and don't mind losing, addicts are the most dangerous because on many occasions they do not accept the problem and feel that the things they do are fine and that everything should be like this, but little by little they lose capital and things can get out of control and can go very wrong, for this reason it is uwe if we detect You should try to talk to someone with this problem, recommend help, but very sparingly, as this is very delicate.

Sometimes it's so easy to say but it's hard to do it.
As we can see, how many people in this forum remind each other that they gamble responsibly, use money they can afford to lose, but in reality they still lose control when they lose consecutively in a few days and I have experienced that experience in several years. can control yourself to gamble responsibly but end up getting emotional when you lose and lose a lot of money on the same day.
For me an easy way to gamble responsibly is to avoid gambling for a few months or come to gambling once a month.

Like I said that saying would be easier than doing.
Yes indeed a professional will say don't make decisions when you are emotional but it will be very difficult when you are emotional and angry not to make any decisions because when emotions start to arise the mind will be influenced to do reckless things.
Unless we always learn to bet responsibly with a smaller minimum amount than usual and have other activities that can entertain us besides gambling, such as playing online games.
So when gambling with small amounts and emotions we can open online games to vent our anger because of defeat.

There two major reason why people do gambling. One primary reason is to make profit which is the common one and the other one is to be entertained, experience the adrenaline rush and dopamine as they wager their money on a casino. There are people that has other reasons. We play do gambling because we want to gain something or achieve something and this is why people gets addicted to because of not fulfilling it or not getting enough of it. Failing to do their goals may result to addiction and becoming irresponsible of their actions.
Gambling responsibly should be our ultimate goal in gambling, but more people lose concentration when they're losing and forget to quit, instead continuing in the hope of returning to profits. We're all in it because we want to make a lot of money from it, which means taking chances and making judgments that will either benefit or harm us. Gambling with large sums of money is a clear symptom of addiction, and it is one of the simplest and quickest ways to lose money. There have been numerous instances where gamblers have become indebted as a result of gaming and exceeding the available calculated risks.
Gambling responsibly in the sense that a person can control himself while playing gambling without leaving what is his responsibility. he can manage his finances, not risking all of his possessions, but playing reasonably and not exaggerating. It's not uncommon for life and family to be destroyed because of playing excessively by risking all the assets he has in the hope that the assets at stake can multiply many times over. but what happened was the opposite, the treasure he was betting on was gone without remainder.

So play wisely and responsibly without leaving what is your duty. do not let your life and family be destroyed because of gambling.

We become aggressive when we are suffering with huge losing streak a very common emotions when you feel that in your next bet you'll be able to hit the winning bet, that emotion will force us to increase our bet thinking that recovering is much quicker if we start winning, but most of the time instead of winning on your next bet, unexpected more losing streak will happen putting you in more aggression to keep depositing and trying to win back your losses.

End of the day, you'll lost more than what can afford as you are unable to manage your emotions and for doing that you will suffer a lot, a huge amount of money that you lose after that sessions.

If has gamblers we know when to stop no matter how much we lose or gain gambling will remain a fun and entertaining adventure to us. The problems always starts when we try chasing after our loses or when we come to believe we are now pros in gambling maybe because we did hit some major jackpot consecutively. Another problematic factor is excessive confidence and trying to prove a point to a friend we can make an accurate prediction and it becomes a bet outside the gambling. Gambling is toxic and at the same time fun it all depends on how we try to manage our emotions when we gamble.
Yeah, in other words, gambling can be described as a two edged sword, one edge sharp and the other edge not, which ever side of the sword you are using, and how you are using it, will determine whether you get injured or not..

I find it interesting how you define a two edge sword  Cheesy.  My thought of two edge sword is a sword that has both edge being sharp and define it as being useful and at the same time harmful.  The effect depends on how we use it.  I also think that gambling is a two edge sword where it can supplement our source of fund if we are lucky enough to win consecutively and at the same time it can ruin our life if we are unlucky to have losing streak, worst fall into addiction.  Gambling should be taken with care and caution so that we won't land on the harmful edge of it.

From my personal experience, gambling can be so fun if only we can learn to respect the limits, in as much as gambling, most especially, sports betting is majorly a way to prove a point, either to ourselves or to friends, we can still do that in a healthy way by respecting the boundaries and never trying to over do it.

I greatly agree with what you said, we should be responsible enough to know our boundaries and never step outside of it because in gambling, bypassing boundaries will definitely have a negative impact in our lives.

One thing we should settle with is the fact that self control a lot of aspects of our daily life and one needs to know the right time to apply self-control to avoid losing out, one of the major factors that aid addictions is the inability to users to make up their mind to quit when the going becomes tough.

Keep in mind that most people play casinos for the thrill of the game. Therefore, self-control is often an incompatible concept here, as self-control leads to restraining emotions and reducing adrenaline intake when a tense situation arises. And some people want to lose because they get pleasure from it.
Pretty good thinking.
It is true that most gamblers forget the concept of self-control because they want to have fun filled with satisfying adrenaline, but so far there are also many gamblers who have regretted and lost a lot of things because they had forgotten self-control just to get too much pleasure.
Gambling for fun is better than gambling to chase victory, but still everything has limits so that what you already have is not easily lost because of a big loss in gambling.
Everyone can gamble but not everyone can have self-control and responsibility in gambling.

In essence, one must know what we are looking for and get from gambling. Is it fun, winning some money, triggering adrenaline, releasing tension after doing routine work or all. but usually, most gamblers do it for fun and at the same time expect to get bonuses. well, in theory we should enjoy gambling without having to be distracted by something that is excessive and hope that is usually a trigger for something that has a bad impact. So, actually the idea of ​​self-control is needed when we are in a situation where we tend to experience defeat, whether we want to recover from a loss, or are curious to try to make another deposit. in this phase, we need self-control so as not to get caught in a difficult situation. usually, we will be compelled to re-deposit. instead of wanting to return the loss, the opposite happened.

On the other hand, the self-control that we have plays a role so as not to take actions that have the potential to lead to defeat. self-control, usually must be accompanied by responsibility. that way, we will gamble according to the portion we can afford to lose.
Ever felt sandwiched between the devil and the deep blue sea? You're here for the sizzling thrill, the adrenaline tsunami, yet a savvy player knows to ice it down. It's like a high-stakes version of 'capture the flag' where self-restraint is the untouchable fortress.

The urge to recuperate losses might grip you tight, but you're essentially trying to douse a blaze with a bottle of bourbon. Remember my friends, gambling isn't a golden goose, it's just jolly good fun.

Think of self-restraint as your life jacket during this exhilarating white-water rafting adventure. It doesn't water down the excitement, it just stops you from capsizing! And yes, responsibility is the anchor that keeps you rooted.

At the end of the day, it's all about keeping dreams in check. Draw lines in the sand, set up guardrails, and keep the spirit alive. Channel your inner tortoise from the 'tortoise and the hare': not too sprightly, not too sluggish, just perfect.
