Gambling responsibly is like smoking responsibly - you don't get your ass bitten off immediately right now but somewhere further into the future. The more responsible you are the greater the delay would be that you might not be even alive by then to feel it!  Grin

We are only responsible for our personal lives if we are smoking. But in gambling, we could get a big responsibility to all of what we have including our family because when we are losing everything, we can lose our family too. I already read that one family is broken because of gambling and their children gets a broken home too and now they are in hard situations. We don't want to see our family got a problem because of what we did in the gambling, right?

This should be on Gambling discussion.

Every gambler must play responsibly and it possible to some gamblers but impossible to addict gambler. I don't gamble that much nowadays as I only gamble when there a tournament for Dota 2. I do esports gambling now and left the conventional online casino as it makes me gamble every day. I find esport gambling much more convenient for me that regular gambling.
I agree this is possible to some gamblers that are not addicted in gambling especially who are very responsive to their income or budget in their everyday lives, for sure they will not going to take risk their income for their family just because they want to gamble. It can really be possible to gamble responsibly because I do believe I am one of them.  Grin

I don't see it that way.

Gambling is a risk on your finances, while smoking is on your health.
Whatever you do in smoking, everything could result to damage of your health, however gambling could not be a risk if you will just play for fun
and also if you have the discipline to be able to resist temptation.
The impact is equally bad if you don't manage it well. but in my opinion smoking have a worse effect, even though you reduce the intensity, the influence remains same in your old age. but different from gambling, if you manage money well, gambling will not destroy you, thats truly responsible is..

I think there are a lot of gamblers that could responsible for their act, but I admit its kind of hard to stock to the commitment and the limit tgat we set, when I win more than my limit, my mind will ask me to play again, and I think if you're addicted you should completely leave the game, dont make any trigger that could make you fall back into the addiction
Still possible to play responsibly and know their limits upto how much they can lose for gambling those are called professional gamblers or someone who is gambling for too long and too often but main intention of gambling don't have to be money making when we want to gamble responsibly or we will get addicted at some point as you mentioned.

Absolutely yes, those who can gamble responsibly are those who have full control on themselves. If a responsible gambler want to gamble, he/she make the gambling entertainment or fun, unlike many gamblers who their sole aim is to make huge profit instead of them gamble responsibly.

Actually no one gambler want to be addicted, and by nature no one is gambler. Playing and playing and spend all time with gambling this is a over wait of gambling and then gambler become addicted. I realize sensitive and weak mind person very soon become addicted. But in the end, we have no proper answer how could we manage ourself with gambling. Only one thing i realize, we don't play gambling everyday.

since there's different people in gambling and some of them are just considering this field as enjoyable way of playing,and others consider this as source of income they are he people who gamble for living and this for me is not really advisable because gambling always rely on luck and not skills
I don’t want to believe there’s anyone without self-control, I think there are just people who allow emotions control them and it now becomes difficult to control themselves on the game. How is the gambler who cannot control himself in gambling able to control himself in other things like having multiple women, because there are gamblers that have discipline in other areas of their lives but when it comes to gambling, they become weak.

The reason is because they have allowed the game enter deeply into their being as a result of time they might have probably spent on the game and with time, it will now be hard to control themselves on the game.

Temptations that needed to keep away when you are in this activity, when you win you should act correctly, quitting and enjoying should be the first thing in mind, being greedy will keep you stay and suffer more addictions so setting a good limits and follow it will be your tools to avoid doing this mistakes out from your gambling activity.

Many of us have in some part of our life gambled our money/coins. Sometimes we win huge and sometimes we bust it all. We all have our reasons to gamble. For many, it is financial stress, for many its a hobby and for many its an addiction.

But when we gamble much, we justify ourselves that we are just trying to win and not addicted. But many of us know, that at some point we really do become addicted to it.

We always set a goal of winning and then even when we achieve it, we continue to gamble and gamble leading to bust of all balances sometimes.

However, many types of research and statistics show, that most gamblers gamble responsibly. I find this really contradictory to what I have experienced and observed.

I have played on many casinos and at one point I was really addicted to it and I busted much daily. I wanted to leave it entirely only to get attracted to it again. So, I picked up certain habits;

  • I set a fixed amount I will wager no matter if I lose or win.
  • I set a fixed amount of winnings after which I stopped gambling no matter even if I think I can win more.
  • The moment I busted or wagered or won my daily cap, I closed the site immediately and opened YouTube, played a movie/song I liked and drank a cup of coffee relaxing my mind.
  • If the temptation arises too much, I open a charity website immediately and donate a part of my winnings and pray a bit. The satisfaction sometimes overweighs the temptation and helps me calm.
  • If the temptation still doesn't go away, I open the casino site and play with zero amount bets or with the faucet to calm the desire.
  • After that I close my computer and go out, convert my coins to cash, give some to homeless people on street, buy myself a coke/snacks and play a sport or exercise.
  • After a tiring time, I come home and study and then eat and sleep. Not opening the computer till next day.

My advice is if you think you are addicted, don't try to leave it completely because it will attract you more. Try to limit it and divert your mind to a variety of hobbies and topics Smiley

Do share your strategies and efforts on how you control it and limit it if you are addicted Tongue

I don't think we should set goals of how much we desire to make as a gambler because gambling is a very risky venture and going into it without adequate knowledge on the risk involved and how we can be addicted to it is more disastrous than investing itself!  Never ever put money you cannot really afford to lose and you are good to go.
I supported what you said because setting a certain goals of the amount ones will win in gambling will literally lead to greed which will make ones addicted to gambling. This is why people who cannot control his greed level or accept losses should not gamble.

Some people can do it well. most taoi cannot take responsibility properly. when we play gambling, a lot of temptations arrive. that's why the importance of self-control, every gambling player must be able to ensure that they can avoid bad things, without that ability they will not get a good future.

This is the reason why many gamblers failed because they can't fight the temptations. Most of us are weak and there is no denying that fact. The number of strong-willed individuals are small. This is why gambling industry continues to grow like mushrooms.  Grin

Many people are a trap in the gambling industry, and we are seeing more addicting people on gambling. I thought that in the first time we are a responsible person but after we play more than 5 times and we can add more experience in the gambling games, we are losing the responsibility for our money and finally, we are losing money.

That's why they loss, without discipline would not make you safe in gambling, yes, we loss but we can control the risk if we are responsible.
Without discipline will lead to addiction and when addiction gets in your system, it would make you destroy your own self.
We can prevent these if we know the risk, then we take proper actions.

safe ? gambling has never been safe because gambling is known to be the riskiest game on earth due to its complete randomness  . undisciplined people do also won as soon as thier luck strikes but eventually they can also loose all what they earn given that they dont have a self descipline to stop  . @op  gambling responsibility  is not a myth but rather its true . we can obtain it on our selves as long as we are willing  . though it can be a big myth to some because they tend to be iresponsible when it comes to playing a gambling game .

I agree with that, it is your responsibility to take moderation in anything might distract you or will make you addicted like in gambling we can say that at some point we can see this only for entertainment but once it already catch your attention and it fed the gap between you and your boredom it is impossible at some point to control ourselves, moderation is the key. Balancing the things that we love and the things that we should do may seems to be hard since it is part of our nature to seek for happiness, take gambling as conventional activity not a habitual one. That is what I usually do in Vegas casino I required myself to manage the time I a lot in online gambling to prevent any excessive attention I give into it.

I get your point here, but there's also people/gamblers who can manage to follow this process, it's a practice that they enjoyed doing this activity,
the more they control their emotions the more they seen the enjoyment around, we already read lots of things about misfortune due to a gambler
greediness, instead of cashing out and enjoy, there's some who continue or comeback and loses everything again.
That’s absolutely right mate,I totally agreed on that since there's different people in gambling and some of them are just considering this field as enjoyable way of playing,and others consider this as source of income they are he people who gamble for living and this for me is not really advisable because gambling always rely on luck and not skills

I don't see why this wouldn't be possible as long as you are a responsible person. It's useless to create all kind of limits to yourself and your money if you are not responsible enough to respect them so if you know that you are not that type of person then better stop wasting your time trying all kind of strategies to gamble responsibly. You have to decide if you are or not a responsible person.
Thats the problem as gambling is addicting specially to people that has a low control on their emotions,and this is not easy to resist
