Bisq is a Bitcoin Fiat Dex. Use responsibly

Quote from: mindrust on March 30, 2019, 03:33:23 AM

It is possible.

It is all about self control. I'll admit you'll need a bit of luck too but it is mostly about controlling yourself. If you gamble every day with the %10 of your total wealth, you can't expect to survive in the long run. It is against math.

If you keep it way smaller, now you are playing responsibly.

Another good point. Small regular wins (if possible) is enough unless the wins are insignificant to the gamblers. The gambling thing is a bit similar to crypto trading or maybe it is just a general success formulas that may work in most areas of life

Your methods are great. It works a bit like trading cryptocurrencies, you have to have a strategy and follow it through, matter what. Your methods could be helpful to addicts too. All addicts need fun alternatives otherwise things won't just disappear like that.

Maybe we could ask them what experiences make them very happy aside gambling, then we could recreate the experience for them as long as it is beneficial experience.

I don't get where are you heading here.

You are saying that gamblers that are gambling for fun and profit are different, well it is true that it is different but saying that they are fine or don't mind losing that is not fun at all. I mean, put yourself on that gambler, you gamble for fun and you are losing a lot of money, that is fine with you? If you are gambling for fun, and you are losing where is the fun at that? Please answer me. I don't get it.

I agree that losing isn't fun but you don't have to gamble a lot of money to have fun. You can have fun while gambling with a lot of money but you're more focused towards profiting than having fun since you're gambling so much money. You can do both but one is always higher than the other and it will show based on your gambling activity.

No matter how hard you try to gamble for fun only, it is simply not possible. The main reason for this is that at the back of your mind, you have money in your mind. Even if your intention is not to win but still you have a fear of loss.

This fear of losing money will not let you enjoy gambling at full strength.

That's bullshit. One can gamble with a point system that has no relation to money.
Gambling in itself has no connection to money.

The desire to win in a gambling match stems from primeval instincts.

You see back when we were cavemen, we had to protect out cave from other cavemen or other tribes. We spent days and months and sometimes years gathering things that we thought belonged to us rightfully, so naturally when other cavemen took those things we reacted by becoming violent and by regaining the property that was stolen from us.

With modern gambling, addiction stems from that same feeling and sense of losing what we think rightfully belongs to us, we respond by becoming aggressive or by increasing the odds and stakes and end up losing more - its a vicious cycle actually, that has nothing to do with money.

But the moment you switch your thinking where you admit that the money that you want to gain was never yours, right then and there you would disconnect from the cycle.

I think everything has been explained about gambling, and the idea about involvement of money was too difficult to figure out. We should think of how to control our habitual activities which relate to gambling itself. Although some people have an aggressive manner in playing gambling, but we do have a reponsibilies in a certain aspects which gambling was concerned.
If you had more times that you'd likely lost during gambling possession, recovering your amount of crypto is considered a serious responsibility. That's always possible to happen, because if you don't have efforts to cover up that mess nothing will happen but you'll tend to fail along the process.

yeah the study is ideal and not really the actual expectation you will get from a gambler though some may apply the principles yet many belong to which they became addicted. Winning is the real reason why one always want to bet because they want to win. And as much as they want to win they will going to lose it since it is gambling. But then there are other online casino betting that let you win and lose depending on your luck. So just take some time to research for a good online betting casino. Play, win and enjoy!

I disagree, it's possible to have fun with gambling for example you could go gamble with your friends but if you're not ready to lose money then it'll be difficult for you to have fun.

Other examples are contests,betting pools,etc my point is if your purpose is to have fun and you fail then you're not looking at gambling in a different way.

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

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

Being responsible is really possible depending on the peoples strong mindset. Those people who are getting addicted are usually those greedy ones. Even they have an alloted fund for gambling on that particular day, they usually end up using even their other funds. But for us who reaaly went there for fun, we take full responsibility of our actions.

I think every gamblers should really take their own responsibility and limitations because gambling has a lot of consequences that you will meet in every bet that you will do, that is why you should always be careful in your every decision and always have a self-control when you gamble. Being responsible in gambling is not that hard, as long you don't gamble to gain more profit because these is the reason why people get addicted and being greedy to it from earning easy money. Gambling is really an entertainment and for pastime, that is why always think in your every bet.

This is a very shitty way to advertise for your casino by hiding links on the post Undecided

. It is very easy to tell to have "self control", but in reality it is actually quite hard to have that self control when gambling. It is not always about "not gambling for more profit'. There are people who also keep gambling to chase their losses too! This is where they start deviating from their goals and ends up either being a gambling addict or extremely poor.
If you think gambling is only for entertainment and passing your time, then just gamble with fake virtual currencies!

Was suppose to say the same thing too about inserting that shitty gambling link Grin

This is why we do see that gambling is a profitable business because the cycle of chasing losses is there always. Being addicted to gambling is the result of having no self control or self awareness. Before doing any gambling be sure that you do always limit yourself and dont go overboard.

I like it more when the game is viewed not as an investment, but as entertainment. Investment involves earnings. And the gambling are more like entertainment. Like going to a restaurant: spent a certain amount of money and enjoyed it.

I don't get the logic behind people considering gambling a form of investment. It does not compute in my head.
Gambling is also not categorized as entertainment. It's more like a form of recreational activity that feeds the obsessive-compulsive subconscious desires in a human mind. Would that be effectively described as a form of entertainment? Maybe not.

You gamble, you win, brain is fed dopamine by your body. If you lose, your body loses some hair on your head. Can it be done responsibly? Depends on who's gambling. Anyone with a OCD would find it very hard to do so.

I agree with you in the aspect that we all have different reason why we keep on gambling but in the area of justifying ourselves that we are just trying to win and not addicted with the part of keep on waging after we reach our goals is what I don't agree because we really people sees gambling as a way buying themselves some fun and if they win it a bonus for them.
Concern addiction, the person who's first need to agree that he's addicted, willing to forgive himself and ready to make correction.

It will be good if a lot of people think about that. But we can't resist if some others do their daily earning from gambling. Maybe they can get win, but risk of lose and we lose all our money always hide behind it.

in gambling possibly the responsibility are very higher because we don't have the chances of getting success many times so if we are investing in gambling we need to be more responsible Adaalat so I think it will be much important.

You are right that being responsible while playing gambling is not that hard, as long you play for fun not for profit.

There are a lot of consequences in gambling, that is why you need to learn how to have self-control and limitations in betting your money.

You need it when you really need it. I am saying these because not all of the gamblers are addicted to gambling, to bet their money based on their luck or skill or knowledge and that also means you need to have self-control. If you are a responsible gambler, you know when to stop, you know when to make a huge bet and you know if it is a good time to gamble or not.

Gambling is something different. We invest in gambling only to Win from it and have fun too. If there was only loss in gambling, i think very few people will play it only for fun.

For a gambler to gamble responsibly; it must be discipline on the part of the gambler, so, its possible if s/he apply discipline. I for-instance, before move to any gambling platform, i do set aside some funds which are strictly meant for the family use, just to avoid over spending in the process of gambling. Also, gambling responsibly means; gamble with what you can afford to loose.
