Topic: Have you checked an overview of your gambling habits? - page 5. (Read 1358 times)
Recently people out there takes playing gambling seriously, others just for fun, during my gambling I do keep tracking with the google sheet how much I deposited, how much I win and of course how much I lose and whats the amount of percentage I win on that particular game so I don't get bothered how much I losses as long as the win and losses are still in the positive side. When I'm playing gambling I do it alone and of course people around me possible get affected to my emotions so as possible I play alone to prevent some unnecessary actions.
Only my wife knows about my gambling gambling habit in the circle of family, while outside I only have a few trusted friends who know that I am betting on sports which I believe is nothing to them. They don't even care, they only do if I win and I treat them to something. 
I know I am not an addicted gambler yet because I can still finish a day or two without even betting anything. I love taking some rest and just sleeping if there's a time that the house is peaceful and I would also take advantage of that opportunity to maybe do other chores rather than gambling.
I deposit only once and I am unlucky to lose it all then I take a long break. If it wins, I withdraw it and use those funds for the next day playing or maybe even use it to enjoy going out.
Funds allocation is very important but the most important is following that rule and not letting yourself break your own rule just because of emotional swings. Live with the results either win or lose.

I purposely try not to pay so much attention to the details because I have never considered gambling as a big deal but an extra activity that shouldn't be viewed as a source of earnings, so I take it lightly and slowly.
There are two ways to not checking out details; low rolling, and fun gambling. Gamblers who desire to trace their success, have goals to attain, and spend more time in games. But people who prefer to manage time on other activities, may not care about the differences in the money spent in gambling and profits, as they're not fully concerned on the details. As a result of the smaller amount of time and money gambling costs them, it's not enough to be bothered. Hence, high rollers are in the best need for such overviews.

The biggest problem, in my opinion, is the desire to make money from gambling without having sufficient skill, that is, the necessary professional skills. Most players probably do not have a winning strategy to predict the outcome of sports matches better than bookmakers. Not all players realize this. Many stick to erroneous strategies like Martingale, which, in their opinion, will definitely lead them to winning. Often, the Martingale method is combined with regular bets.
The player needs to carefully analyze his skills and get rid of dangerous illusions.
I guess that is happen too with some people as gambling gives the temptation to them to make money. But you need to understand that gambling needs many things to win the money so you don't have to playing gambling excessively which can impact to your financial. People who realize that sports betting can be a way to make money will train themselves by learning more about the analysis which can help them to pick the right team.The player needs to carefully analyze his skills and get rid of dangerous illusions.
But if they know the risk of playing gambling, they must not use more money to win as that can gives the a chance to lose. They must realize that playing gambling is one activity that they can do in their spare time and not playing gambling every day without stop. Yes, we must checked our gambling habit so we can see what is already changed from us and if we think that we almost get addicted to gambling, we can reduce our gambling activity.

They are just contented with the funs and the profits they makes out of it without getting to preview if they are investing more of their valuable resources aimlessly in it since Time and Money could could be treasured.
So they are only bothered when they prioritizes gambling as a source of income when ignites them that whatever amounts they stakes on gambling is expected to yield them multiplication of profits and then they only get bothered when the profits are not coming or after realizing they have been effected in their bankrolls.

You have a good point, it's a careless person who will not be taking the evaluation of all his gambling activities. If at all the person will not be detailed the way you want it to be, he should at least consider the side his gambling progress is heading towards whether it's positive or negative.
I don't bother myself with too many ambiguities when it comes to my bankroll and gambling considerations, all I do is know the amount to gamble based on the money I have in my gambling accounts and I naturally know if I am doing good or bad after some subsequent gambling activities.

Well, no, I don't need it, and these tips
It's not that I follow them, it's just that it's something natural that I hadn't even considered following. If someone has to make a conscious decision to follow them it is probably because they are bordering on problematic with gambling and so they have to make a conscious decision to give more importance to other parts of their life and be aware of the amounts.
What to do;
- Always get engaged with other important works, or even gets more attention to your children/wife or Husband and family members within, with this there is less chances of you becoming addicted to gambling
- Get an allocation of funds to gamble1. I mentioned this on my other topic created before, when the funds are exhausted do not use any other funds to gamble till the months ends
- Do not budget of hitting millions or billions through gambling, just be positive and gamble with expectations to hit anyone it could be higher or lesser.
- Give much priority to your work and field of study than gambling

As a responsible gambler, you should never face problems simply because you came unprepared. What I mean is, we need to educate ourselves about the risks of addiction. It’s true--learning how to gamble and falling in love with it is easy, but we can’t ignore that some gamblers get addicted over time. Based on my experience, here are two main reasons why this happens:
Greed** aiming for bigger wins and never being satisfied with small victories.
Chasing losses**not being able to accept losing and placing more bets just to break even or come out ahead.
These two reasons alone are enough to cause major problems in life.... however, they can be avoided if, from the start, we educate ourselves about gambling addiction. We always hear the phrase like “gamble what you can afford to lose,” which is the foundation of responsible gambling. However, if we don’t actually apply that, we’re already on the wrong path.
What usually happens is that people learn the hard way, after they’ve made costly mistakes. Some manage to learn from it, but others lose so much that it damages family relationships or even results in losing their jobs. It’s important to stay aware and prevent addiction before it takes a toll.

This is one big and bitter truth as regarding to this, at most times people don't learn from even what happened to others until it happens to them, they must hit themselves to the wall with bruces before getting to realize the part they are choosing is bad, undoubtedly what will give so attention will definitely give enough directions, gambling addiction damages family relationships, when you are spending more time than expected in the gambling station, prioritize taken care of your other needs, mixing gambling with other activities will help a lot, we shouldn't chase losses by seeing it as just a fun play which we are not supposed to be emotionally attached to because when people becomes too emotional towards gambling indeed it becomes problematic by making drastic decisions.
This topic is not just for those who have fallen into gambling addiction, but more importantly to those who are still starting to gamble so they won't gamble incautiously that may lead into wrong gambling habits.
Luckily, I am always in track with my gambling activities and expenses. I don't gamble actually to earn a living, but if luck hits me, surely I would really love it. But the most important thing here is, learn to gamble responsibly. If you have the extra funds to bet, then go for it but never chase your losses or even big winnings because that will definitely lead you to gamble more than you can afford to lose, thus unconsciously falling into gambling addiction.

What’s more important is respecting the limit set, if addicted gamblers can learn to create boundaries between gambling funds and budget no one will ever notice about their gambling habit. The reason why most gamblers fail to stop and focus more on other stuffs is because they feel they’ll cash out something good and this feeling is normal with gamblers including me, we all except something good but it’s really unnecessary when they try to make this win always without considering gambling is a game.
Creating awareness is not necessary sorry to say people will continue doing what they love most regardless until they face a great lose and decide to change willing.

Not having limits often becomes a problem in a gambler's habit, because in this matter they usually start chasing their losses. That every time they think that they have to bet to win back what they lost, they fall deeper into defeat.
That's why some say that when playing gambling, there should always be self-discipline called self-control so that we can limit ourselves and the money we bet at the casino.
I usually do appraisal of my gambling weekly and monthly to check if I'm going beyond my limits. Like today, I played far above my limits and lost, what this will mean is that for the rest of the week, I will limit my gambling both in how frequent I gamble and how much I gamble with daily and for the rest of the week. I do this to ensure that gambling does not become a burden to me because that is what frustrate many gamblers, I mean when gambling become a burden to them and another conduit of losing money rather than gaining money.
If you gamble daily, it is reasonable to evaluate your gambling habit weekly. But if you rarely gamble, it is enough to evaluate it monthly. By the way, each gambler may have different way to allocate their funds in gambling, it can be weekly bases or monthly bases. Or may be there is people who limit the funds in each time they gamble. I think it is okay as long as it is reasonable. Gambling won't be the burden in our life if we don't spend excessive money. You must know that gambling is mostly for fun and trying luck only. In this way, there is no need to be very serious to spend a lot of money in gambling. It won't increase the chance to win gambling games.
Always know the limits and when to stop when the bankroll is depleted in the sense that they have done their responsibility then the addiction is not bad as well as regular gambling.
What gambling players often experience is where they chase defeat.
Feeling unsatisfied with their winnings while funds are running low.
When losing, they feel hot to continue the game but there is no money so they force to use other money.
As long as we can still control and consider gambling as fun by not interfering with other finances then it will be safe.

Just as the title has expressed it all, and I would want to know how important and very necessary we have been taking our gambling habit serious. Like our overall performance, behavior attitudes and environmental impact of our gambling behaviors;
such as what people says about you, how your family talks about you or are you gradually becoming a problems to your family?
Or are you finding yourself not to stay without gambling for 4-10 hrs per day, weeks and so on?
Are you having less time for other activities whereby giving your work less priority and making gambling your utmost importance than your work and home?
If yes then it's imperatively to narrow down your eagerness, and activeness towards gambling as you have already fallen into addiction and if you find yourself into this conditions then you need to reduced.
What to do;
This is the only way we can control addiction by regular releasing post like this for people to learn and make their corrections. You can add your let the discussion continue.

Its always good to do a self evaluation in this sense to make sure that you have your priorities straight and that you're not just gambling away your life savings on some wild bender! It has happened too many times to too many folks who didn't do these self assessments and readjustments.
The third point might not be a good idea for some people, allocating a specific amount of funds to gamble might trigger the urge to gamble continuously even after the allocated funds is completely exhausted. getting engaged in important things can be a good way to get your mind off it, gambling isn't a sure way to make money instead of doing fixating your mind on it get involved in other things that are profitable and lucrative. If you have something doing that pays you there's no point in trying to use gambling as a source of income.
Gambling has never been for a source of income, and it doesn't fit the point of depending on for ends meet. The expectations of hitting millions also affects the player's financial control. And strategically turns against the person to play without limitations. That feeling of covering for all losses with a single big win, deceives naive gamblers to be uninterested in reviewing their habits.

I've encountered all of these personally or seen it in other people, the fact is most gamblers are simply quite reckless or know that it is only a bit of entertainment - they are happy to lose money on it. At the stakes most people are playing, most of the big jackpots that are shown - those into the millions - will probably not even be available to them and the chance of winning is probably less than on the lottery. If gambling ever takes precedence over any other part of your life and you're not a professional making a career income out of it, then you should probably cut it off for a year, because it is only going to develop into a much bigger spending problem otherwise.
I personally have a spreadsheet with where I log my bets + results of those bets. Also contained on the sheet is a list of rules that I have to uphold. However, I discovered today that I need better enforcement rules because I did go against at least 2 of my rules today and I have paid dearly for it. I have a min - max amount per bet along with other rules. I saw arsenal game coming up and got overly excited so much that I bet on arsenal on multiple slips with amounts greater than my set amount per bet.
Once I get around to make reviews in a few hours time, I will contemplate on how to actually be disciplined enough to stick to my rules.
