Topic: Have you achieved anything from gambling - page 7. (Read 6759 times)

Of course, self-control is a skill that I think is mandatory for a gambler to have in any situation, especially in a winning situation, by having self-control, I think it is unlikely for a gambler to apply greed in himself, for example, luck still persists without them knowing, in the end, yes, as you said, basically all decisions are in the hands of a gambler, it's up to them to continue or stop and cash out, there is no problem with that as long as from the start they are aware of the risks if they choose the decision to continue in order to achieve a greater victory.

On the other hand, one of the reasons why greed is always a prohibited action is because not everyone is able to accept the reality of losing when they have previously seen that they have won the amount, meaning please if you really want to apply greed as long as from the start you have really agreed with yourself not to be emotional or not to feel regret when it turns out that everything ends in loss.

I believe that to reach that level of understanding and maturity the player has to be very aware of his actions, follow the advice given here or in some way be a person coherent with the things that can happen in a casino, including losing, and know how to handle the attitude Against that, because it is not easy to overcome it quickly, as far as I am concerned when we experience the casino on many occasions it causes us experience and a way of thinking, conclusions and according to that we continue playing, but no longer with the mind full of fantasies, but with realities that are quite strong.

From a general perspective, you actually might be right, but from a personal perspective, I don't quite agree with you bud, you have to understand that even while gambling, people have different needs for money, that is, the need for money at a particular time as of different levels for different people depending on individual financial capacity.

A rich boy (for example) who is gambling and won some money which he clearly has no need for at that moment, may likely choose to continue to gamble/play the game as long as he is enjoying it, this decision does not make him a mediocre or novice gambler, he just simply does need the money for anything at that, and even if any thing should come up, he definitely has more than enough money to sort things out for himself, so in essence, he doesnt depend on money he made from gambling as a means of livelihood.

It's only those who are deepending on money made or won from gambling that rush to make a withdrawal after a major win, so they don't end up losing it all back to the casino.

We all should strive to achieve this skill to get its value for ourselves.

This, in my opinion, is what distinguishes a really good player from a mediocre one or from a novice in gambling.  The ability to cash out winnings on time seems to me to be an important indicator in a player’s experience.  It is an experienced player who has the necessary level of self-control who quite rarely makes the mistake of simply continuing the game and not having time to cash out the winnings.  As a rule, such players develop good intuition and the decision to stop playing is made by them rather on an intuitive level and, as a rule, this decision turns out to be correct.

Self-control is very important, especially after the wins, in my opinion. You can hold yourself before the big shiny prize arrives, and then it's up to you whether to use it or to try to gain the one even shinier. I applaud your discipline, even if it came a bit later than needed, you still cashed out and had a good time.

So far and as far as I can remember, I have ever achieved a victory that for me was quite large or the highest victory while I was involved in gambling, which was approximately $ 80 with a capital of $ 10 on one type of casino game such as slots, and of course it was a really very pleasant situation, and I will not lie that at that time I had time to apply greed because of the hope of rounding up my victory so that it could be $ 100, but it turned out that the opposite happened, in the sense that my balance actually decreased to $ 60, it was a situation that made my anxiety increase until finally I managed to make a decision to cash out and use the money for some items that I needed at home such as a small TV for example.

Although I did not succeed in achieving the winning target that I expected but at least I managed to come out with a winning position, but now I realize my mistake that actually gambling should not be used as a place or intermediary to achieve anything, because on the other hand I saw that some of my friends who had great ambitions to get something significant from gambling actually ended up horribly, in the sense that instead of getting a lot of wins but what happened was they lost a lot of money and even sold various goods and vehicles they owned, and after that I tried to justify my point of view by not putting any hope in gambling.

The last paragraph is a golden one! Discipline is key whatever the situation you find yourself in. First, breath in, take your time to make a decision, and only then do what you planned to do, be it another bet after the win or not, or calling it a day and having a break.

But if it's not for the winning money then I think it's unlikely for a gambler to be interested in just feeling the sensation of increasing dopamine especially when the game is going well, because I think we can't exclude that there are still quite a lot of other activities that can provide pleasure that can also trigger adrenaline and increase dopamine levels without involving risk, so I believe that the single biggest reason why people are interested in gambling is because of the chance to win.

If we talk about entertainment in gambling then I think the demo version of the gambling game is also quite reasonable to be chosen, you can play and spend a lot of time there, I understand that adrenaline will not be too high when the activity does not involve risk, but I think it can be an option if you don't want to lose anything and if your goal is just to fill your free time, unless you can really be a responsible gambler.

It's not that simple that gambling is harmful. Not merely logic or the desire to get rich pull gamblers. Experience a primitive dance with chance. Dopamine, the thrill of the unknown, lights up the brain

Gamble socially or alone. The anticipation can unite people or isolate them as they seek the win. It's not reckless to support gambling as entertainment. The human urge for danger and novelty must be understood. The question is gambling responsibly, not whether to bet

Casinos master this delicate dance that provides thrills while limiting risk. Learn from their strategy. Promote responsible play instead of demonizing gambling. Gamble to have fun, not to save money. The game isn't life

Yeah , what normally trigger such mindset is  due to what they have encountered, like alot of people will see others wins and they will be like wow they can literally make it big in gambling, which may lead them to go into it recklessly just to get rich quick. One of the funny thing is that some folks in gambling don't actually have interest in sports that much but due to the fact that one can earn extra bucks in gambling if luck is on Their side , we lure them into it . Because of no interest they can't be entertained instead they will be all about the amount of money they can make through gambling, and I won't consider gambling has a means of earning .

I think it is very unlikely for such gamblers to listen and consider all the advice we give regarding gambling that should not be used as a place to make money, in any way and even if we explain it by providing some evidence but still it will not have much effect.
I agree with you my friend, and I think this is why addiction is a disease that is difficult to cure, we cannot make someone believe in something we say, or I mean how can we forbid something that they always want.

And usually when you tell them too often then in the end they will often think and assume that we are someone who interferes too much with their affairs, although helping is always a good idea and action but not everyone wants to accept help. So I think there is nothing wrong with telling them about the dangers of making gambling a place to make money, but don't do it too often, because it is very possible that this action will trigger a fight between you and that person, so let time tell and punish them with more significant bad impacts.

Many gamblers desperate because they are difficult to achieve anything from gambling so that will not suggested to other gamblers. They can gambling but not to achieve anything because that can makes them angry or sad desperate because they lose their money. Their emotion will be increase once they lose for some money in gambling. Even if they have self control, they can lose their control if they still want to achieve anything from gambling.
That will be difficult for them because they are not just lose their money but they can also get addicted to gambling. That is why people who playing gambling must realizes that they are gambling to have fun and not to achieve anything from gambling.

How many gamblers can realize this?  Most gamblers who have taken gambling as their main source of income will never listen to you no matter how much you suggest or tell them that a small income is good. Most gamblers think they can get rich very easily by betting on gambling, so they go all out and gamble.  And finally lose all bets and become bankrupt and their financial position is so bad that they lead a very miserable life thereafter.

Take the money and run was my number one tip when it came to gambling. There are so many welcome bonuses out there, which can be very generous as they try to lure in new customers and you can convert them into guaranteed free money. If you find two sites offering a $100 free sports betting welcome bonus each, then you start by unlocking the welcome bonus (usually losing a few dollars in the process) and then when you unlock the free bets you can bet $100 on either side of a two way bet - you're guaranteed to walk away with $100 in that scenario (you lose the stake because it is a free bet).  I've also won a few times in physical real world casinos by accepting new membership signup bonuses.

Most of us gamblers don't utilize our profits very well that's why we can't really say we have achieved anything in gambling, personally I'm on this table to but thinking of the fact that I actually made a lot of Profit form casinos but I threw them away makes me feel like I achieved absolutely nothing, gambling consistently can be very dangerous but imagine if you are doing it for a whole year, is it possible to be unlucky for 365 days??..if you haven't quit maybe you should keep on pressing forward but don't stake above your limits

Right, you have the right understanding and I am sure that if we are able to think using our common sense and logic well at the right time then we will be able to think like you think, and I am sure if only everyone came into gambling relying on common sense and rational thinking when they first saw gambling then I am sure they would not end up addicted.

On the other hand, of course gambling is not a get-rich-quick scheme, gambling can never be used as an intermediary to achieve wealth, there are no significant results in the long term because the risk of losing will always be a part that will thwart your hopes of always achieving victory, therefore if you want to achieve wealth in gambling then there is no other way than to build your own casino and become a dealer as you said, my friend, because it is a fact that in the long term casinos are always far superior to ordinary gamblers, I hope we can all always respond to everything based on a rational mindset.

Well, no doubt, what you have said it absolutely correct, I agree with you, running a casino, like a gambling house either online or offline is a very lucrative business even though it's not as easy as many of us would think it is, but in the end, every successful one does make good money for their owner.

But gambling on that other hand is more like a fun venture, as much as it's advised not to expect too much or anything at all from gambling, I would say that there is also nothing wrong is someone is playing for money, atleast, for the fact that the player is staking money, that gives the player the right to expect some reward back, but this should not be made the priority, as doing so often lead many gamblers into becoming problem gamblers.

I understand the message that you want to give, but basically it is a decision that has to do with taking care of our money, and that's okay, sometimes not playing makes more money, and can be enough to cover all kinds of needs, let's say that not everyone thinks like that, there are people who like to take risks, who even knowing that in the casino it is more probable to lose , but they take the risk, it's similar to someone who plays the lottery, they may have been losing their whole life, but if suddenly they win the big prize? It's a prize for consistency, so I think that many are moved by the passion for fun, adrenaline, the possibility of multiplying their money, even though many lose control.adrenaline, even though many lose control.

Yeap, I would like to agree with your opinion,Because I think if someone thinks that gambling will make a lot of money or become a successful entrepreneur after gambling then it is wrong. Maybe a person can become a successful entrepreneur by opening a Casino or Gambling site business. But what you get from gambling is fun and I think you should not expect more from it. Gambling is for entertainment not for quick rich scheme.
