Although I am aware that losing a bet will make me feel bad, after I have placed a wager, I find that my mind is never racing. Why? I don't spend a lot of money gambling since I don't intend to or use it as a means of making money. When I gamble, I consider the possibility that I could lose or win, so I don't feel anything, as opposed to waiting for the conclusion and observing how much I bet.


Do we not need to save money primarily for gambling? What is true is that once you are aware that you are a gambler, you should have a financial strategy in place, i.e., know how you intend to spend your money. But as we all know, unless a person is completely dependent on making bets every day, no one can save money for gambling. That is the moment I believe you should put money aside for gaming, but for people who are not addicted and can gamble whenever they want, I do not believe that is necessary.


It's funny to say that someone doesn't know when he occasionally visits a gaming shop. How did you expect him to get there if he didn't know he was heading there? I don't think he's blind. If it's me, and I'm aware that whenever I visit a gambling shop—whether online or off—I must avoid saving my bets, I think it will stop someone from even developing an addiction.

I love betting online. Gambling is a bad thing according to some people, by gambling online I can make bets without other people knowing and can prevent other people's bad opinion of me personally.

And when I had a little savings, I had no idea what the money was for, because if I used it as business capital the money would not be enough and I decided to put this little money at stake in online gambling. Even though in reality I experienced defeat and that little money was gone without remainder, it was very difficult for me to leave online gambling.

One thing for sure, in general, is that you can't get rich by saving your spare money or using your spare money for gambling. So if you have spare money, use it for whatever things that make you happy...

What I mean by spare money is probably different from other people, to me spare money is your income minus:
- Daily needs
- Expenses & bills
- Leisure & hobbies
- Charity & tithe/zakat
- Emergency fund
- Investment plan

Therefore if you haven't had the above covered, you don't actually have spare money

Bets that have passed the culture have passed and there is no need to record it again just to be used as a reference for bigger bets. There is no problem using the funds that are owned even if they are not deposit funds, because gamblers come with uncertain conditions. I wonder if there are people who still check their past bets as if these wins and losses need to be chased again. Keep in mind if you really want to gamble, forget about the bets you have lost, and start over from the beginning, like the first time you bet.

I love the emphasis of "allocating money for gambling" or in another term; only bet the amount of money you are willing to lose.. I think the most important part here is following your budget. You get to have the discipline to follow when you will gamble, how much you are allowed to bet, and when will you stop gambling. Because when you ave those things, you are tempt to get in the addictive type of gambling. The complete opposite of profitable gambling.

So yes, when you feel the impulsiveness to gamble bets after bets, that's a signal for yourself.

Well no, rock, paper, scissors is a game of skill not a game of luck. Its all about that split microsecond where you can see your opponents move unfolding and you have exactly that microsecond of time to make your decision of which counter-move to make. Gambling wins can also make you profit but unfortunately you will not be in control of whether you have a higher chance of winning or not. Unless of course we are talking about sports betting. With sports betting at least you can do some research on the players and so on. More research in that regard does give you a higher chance to win.

But gambling games like slots? You are completely relying on luck. And the probability is shifted against you in the house's favor.

We hope to win. That's the point of gambling so far. If you are optimistic all time time you will definitely keep trying and come up with strategy not to lose a lot of course. If you have played rock, paper, scissors your objective is to outsmart the other party by thinking which will be his next cast. They can come up a strategy with this.

Winning makes you profit. Gamblers will find something to reason and justify their gambling. Why save when you can profit when you get lucky.

Gambling is an activity that is carried out because someone is sure and chooses gambling as a place for them to get pleasure, satisfaction or even some who expect profit.
Every gambler must have a sense of satisfaction when betting and they get adrenaline which is quite fun, plus when they win, satisfaction is really so proud, it's just that there are some who actually regret it a little when they lose.
For money in gambling, it's not really about reserve money, but money that can actually be received when you lose.
No one would suggest gambling using saved money because that will only lead you into trouble in the future. It's better to set aside a little money from working or doing business for gambling, so that way you don't have to worry about losing the money that has been arranged for future.

Everyone who is involved in the world of gambling, if interpreted has a broad understanding and a long meaning, depending on their main purpose for gambling, whether they use reserve money, savings and so on.

In theory gambling can make money, by making bets, of course based on the capital the money you want to bet on, that trait is common in the minds of everyone who wants to make bets, many of our friends use money from other sources to bet and hope to win, but what's called gambling we can't predict after using saved money to bet whether we can win or not, that's the problem, facts and also from some researchers gambling using money of any type, the main goal is to win, regardless of the risks that will be faced, both good and bad.

The thing is very simple here, it's been said that only gamble with the amount of money you ca be able to afford to loose, which means that if you're having money with you and it's your business money or someone else money, don't gamble with it, make use of your extra earned money, maybe from the realized profits you made, use part of it to gamble and always have it in mind that you could loose the same money when you missed the game, you're not advised to save your money in other to use it for gambling, only gamble with the money you can afford to loose.


That one is left for you the gambler, it's lies on your rate of being disciplined and how desperate you could appear to gamble everytime you have such opportunity, eventually you may be classified as an addicted gambler in doing this, you should know the logic behind gambling, it's not about you trying to gamble again, but does the conditions attached there warrant for such, do you actually have the money to gamble or you want to risk others people's money with you because of your addiction, in this case the gambler have to be emotionally controlled if not will end up where he least expect through gambling.

Have you forgotten that what ever amount of money either big or small amount that's goes out of your pocket without bringing more or add something to you is call waistage money? The only money we can use to bet is a free money and not hard earned.

There is spare money, It's the money left in your account that you don't use aside from savings. If you don't have this kind of money and you consider untouched money as savings then it means that your financial capacity doesn't give you spare money. Having spare money depends on your financial management and status.

If you use your savings money then you will really feel guilty when you lose.

Using spare money literally doesn't mean you need to save for gambling purpose, it's all about using an amount within your possession that wouldn't affect your pocket or you as a gambler won't feel it if you gamble and lose. And making a record of your bet history is what I'll describe as a bad idea cause it can only lead to two circumstances:
1. Regret when you look back to how much you may have lost to gambling which if gathered could have been used for some meaningful project in your life development.
2. Oh no I can't remember the second circumstance but, I guess you all know the rest....lolz

What you're doing is already breaking the principle of responsible gambling. Spending your savings on gambling means you're risking money that you cannot afford to lose. When you experience losses, it can significantly impact your life going forward. It's important to follow preventive measures as they help reduce the risks associated with gambling.

Always remember that gambling is only for individuals who can afford it.

If you save just 5% or less of your weekly income to gamble, that is savings and a budget for gambling that can not affect your financial life.

On this forum, there are many punters and the only way to educate ourselves is to let others know how we gamble responsibly, making profit and loss and yet still not affected by gambling because we gamble responsibly. It is not good to be addicted at all.

One of the thing I see very useful about gambling on this gambling board is the education we give ourselves on gambling addiction. It is really worth it. If you know that you are becoming addicted to gambling, it is better to just quit.

You idea is quite okay but you have the money and I don't think anybody can manage your savings except you do it your self

Whenever I place a bet I consider this amount of money lost,of course my hopes to win the bet are really high and the feeling good from the dopamine after posting the bet is there but I consider this amount lost money.I do not ever play with saved money,only side money which if I lose them I am not that sad at all.Also the money I win from gambling is in an isolated wallet and it keeps going back at gambling unless I hit a super big win and that withdraw goes directly to my main wallet which I then hold or exchange it online depending on my needs.

Lol   you are not serious, before I say anything I will like to ask you, please are you a gambler or do you really have a spare saving money? Because I am not sure that anybody have a spare money but I can agree that spare monies are the money you won from gambling unknowingly true or false?

@OP Gambling everywhere does not mean you need to be present in every other location to gamble. If you think you do need to then you should not read my reply.



I sense a chronic addict with a rant and confession of what happened in the past. Does not want to see the recorded video but still goes back to analyze the problem. In order to find the reason for the loss OP created this thread. Thinking some of us here would reveal our dark secrets, that might help him to understand the mistake.  

It's not the way you say it, using spare money or saving money for gambling does not literally mean you have to buy a little piggy bank start putting money in other to get money for gambling. There are times when. You just have money and you'll be very sure that you won't be using that money anytime soon, that's what they mean by spare money if there's a possibility of you using the money you possess anytime soon then it's safe to not use it for gambling.

That's why as a gambler you should have a good bankroll management system set up so that you won't end up spending everything on your gambling account.


I sense gambling addiction here, when incident like this happens its mostly a sign of gambling addiction but for one who is conscious of his gambling activities would never go to a gambling shop or gambling account online and all of a sudden starts to place a bet. That's no how it works although sometimes you might find an interesting game that you want to stake om but it's not the same as staking unconsciously.



Depends, if you used a money you saved that could have been used for tlother things to place a bet there's a high chance that you'll be anticipating wins, but if the money was something you could do without and you are sure that you went to your gambling account for the sole purpose of having fun, even if your predictions turns out bad you won't feel a thing. Unlike when your sole purpose is to earn some cash through gambling.
