Topic: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? - page 11. (Read 4225 times)

addiction is a side effect of a habit, for example there are people who find it very difficult to get rid of an addiction to drinking coffee, and it is also the same with gambling where someone is quite susceptible to becoming addicted to gambling due to their habit of gambling without knowing boundaries. that's why a gambler needs to control themselves not to gamble excessively and without knowing the time, because an addiction usually starts from a person's bad habit of overdoing something.

Yes, it is actually the expected result in the long term to lose more money than what the person wins by betting. It's just math.

The only times a person can end up winning more than what they lose is if they somehow get super lucky once, earning more money than what they have ever spent, and then stopping gambling forever.

Some people have a never-give-up mentality, but this won't work with gambling. People out of their control keep trying, and very few succeed, whereas the majority ends up losing. We should have limits set, unlike winning and losing. This provides a better gambling experience than ending up with a huge loss. Whenever one is experiencing continued loss, it is good to take a break for some time. So that he or she'll have a relaxed mind to gamble later. It is obvious that when a person is gambling after a continued loss, he or she'll have the mind to chase the loss. This is where one should have perfect control.

Same treatment with those spare money that you use when you treat yourself and enjoy for something that you aim to do, gambling can be same on that kind of purpose, using it to kill some time and enjoy, though if luck permits you may benefits from it, as long as you use money that you can afford to lose then it will be easy for you to quit and stop, unlike if you can't let the amount go, you will keep on dwelling on how you can recover your money, which also most of the time the reason why a gambler submit himself into addiction.

People who view gambling as just entertainment will always be relaxed, will never feel stressed, because what they are looking for is enjoyment and not profit in gambling. Such a person will never experience addiction, because he can control himself well, has strong principles not to overdo it, and of course has a steady income and job. In fact, they tend not to care about the money they have lost, because that is not what they are looking for. But in many cases there are only a few people like that, meaning we more often encounter people who are addicted and go too far in gambling.

It cannot be denied that people who are addicted to gambling are those who have the most free time, or they are unemployed who do not have a permanent job. So they spend more time gambling with the aim of getting rid of boredom. Those who have jobs will tend to spend their time working, and of course they are very disciplined in how they use their time. But that's just a general picture, because quite a few of those who have jobs and a steady income end up being careless in gambling, which can have bad consequences for their lives.

You mean gambling is a place to spend extra money so you can start having fun with it and make it as your pastime. I don't think there are people that are successful enough to make gambling as a source of income and they really make it to get a good fortune. Fun and a source of income is really different thing so maybe we should always consider understanding things before we jump into it.

Of course gambling should be considered a form of entertainment, and most of those who consider it entertainment are those who have jobs and spend most of their free time on the weekends gambling.
And this is the same as us going to a bar on the weekend and just spending a few dollars just for entertainment, and after they have enjoyed it there feeling quite satisfied they go home. The same thing happens when they gamble and play casually and enjoy the game, and after a few dollars are gone they stop and if luck is on their side. The winnings are used as playing capital the following weekend or when you want to play.

The fact that you have to swallow when you don't have emotions and ambitions in gambling is not fun, just ask who here when gambling doesn't use their emotions and ambitions, I think it's hypocritical, and what you mentioned about demonstrating gambling like drinking coffee in a tourist spot and then with a relaxed atmosphere, I think you are lying to yourself, because the feeling you get is definitely much different when you are gambling.

The fatal thing in gambling is poor self-control over emotions and ambition, which causes a person to take more money to do more gambling when he has lost the gamble. The entertainment of gambling and tourist attractions are different concepts of fun, in tourism maybe we just enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the atmosphere of nature or whatever it is while in gambling we enjoy how challenging and also looking for treasures that we might get in gambling sessions and that is emotional turmoil, but what needs to be realized is that losing and winning are natural, that's where we need to have the principle of gambling being responsible for ourselves especially.

Yes it is an unhealthy idea to pursue recovery in a place that has absolutely no certainty and guarantees, and it is clear from some of the cases that we find that in the end they end up losing more money, they know it but strangely they still do it, I can't understand how they think and consider. One of the things that makes them lose money is because they gamble but they put the idea of recovery in the same place, doesn't that make no sense? of course, so this is the reason why it is always recommended to gamble with money that you can afford to lose, because this makes it less likely for you to chase losses.

Another thing as you said that gambling only depends on luck while the name of luck can never be known when it comes or in this sense is why there is absolutely no guarantee and certainty whatsoever in terms of winning. On the other hand yes I admit that it is possible that luck can lead you to recovery, although it is hard to believe but it does happen but it is very unlikely to be able to get out of gambling with all the money you have lost.

Entertainment doesn't have to be an addiction, the same goes for gambling because if some people consider gambling as entertainment, of course they have also prepared funds that they can afford to lose as payment. I think this is not much different from someone who wants to spend their time just drinking coffee and relaxing at a tourist spot for which they both have to pay with money. So that people who gamble and consider it as entertainment are not controlled by their emotions and ambition to win because they are definitely prepared enough to lose.

While gambling is sure to result in profit and loss, a person can always win the fortune, never. To win must lose, believing you spend more of your money gambling. If you use your money properly you will surely win gambling and divide your money into two parts. Especially before you become addicted to gambling, if you quit gambling and retire two days a week, you will surely win more at gambling. A person can win mostly in gambling based on strategy and intelligence alone.

Well, when we are seeing that things can turn out better, we have to have control of our money, seeking revenge or seeking to win when we have lost a lot of money will never be the right decision, do not play with money that way because otherwise you will lose very much. easily, in this aspect we must be intelligent and not do things based on emotions, it is true that emotions are difficult to control, but in this aspect I have always said that it is not so much the emotion but the discipline, the discipline is the factor that influences so that we can control everything.

I believe the reason why most gamblers tend to lose control or allow their emotions to cloud their judgement most times is often because they're really don't understand the game, they don't understand the mechanism of gambling or even the rules.
Gambling just like every other things has its own rules of engagement and if a gambler is ignorant of these rules, he tends to make mistakes along the way and the losses becomes inevitable. Gambling should at all time be approached or engaged with a levelled head, at all time, one should always be in control of his finances, know your limits (how much you can afford to lose) and stick to it no matter what happens, and if eventually you've exhausted your limit, there's no need to keep trying because this is the point where most gamblers often get themselves into deep shit, they'll keep on trying and trying until they've exhausted what's left of them.

Yeah, control loss heads to money loss and manipulates the spending choices of the gambler. It's all a game of mind I'd tag it. Money is a vital resource for any business to strive and gaining any form of control over a player will fetch more profits to the gambling industry. Hence, more players will be interested in making quick money while the house looks out to weaken the emotional strength of the gambler. The sessions would be filled with losses and the gambler wouldn't have the control to do other things.

I feel those strong impulses, but it's easily forgotten, at some point the winning holds us back to try again, then we lose more. It's just a calculated process that delays a player until he is no longer prepared to think of stopping. He'd gain more losses in the process pushing the player to a darker stage of control loss. The weary journey continues till the player regains control through some form; self or family help.

Sometimes it's really not the fault of most gamblers who consider gambling to be a job, some is as a result of failed government and economy, not being able to provide jobs or even means their citizens can earn a good livelihood, this is often the situation of most countries in the world, so rather than going to steal, they'd run to gambling to be their safe haven, which isn't supposed to be so, like you rightly said, people shouldn't gamble if they don't have jobs, but these set of gamblers consider gambling to be their jobs, and some of them actually do feed off from it, and some end up getting into more troubles than they initially were.

Well, I think at this point, I have a question, a genuine one, and the question is, after a gambler gambles and loses, but he or she still feels like to gamble again, is this referred to as the gambler chasing after his loses in from the previous gambling session?

I am asking this question because, I personally think we sometimes, like to complicate things for ourselves, it was never laid or written down as a rule that, when ever a person loses money to gamble, that he or she should stop gambling, that if he or she continues to gamble, then that automatically means that he or she is chasing after his or her previous loses, the fact that I was driving, and I had an accident, but came out good, does not mean I should stop or quit driving right?

Gambling is a game where you either win or lose, it's important for gamblers to always have this at the back of their minds, and also, gambling is a money making venture, when you lose money to gambling and decide to quit because of that, it simply means that not only were you gambling for profit, but also you were even prepared to encounter a loss, and this wrong, every gambler should always prepare for lose, for no matter what, you can't win every game of bet you play or place.

The cause of big losses from gambling is because they still hope to recover previous losses in gambling, even though they definitely know that it is not recommended to recover losses from uncertain results and every gambler definitely knows that gambling is just luck with no guarantee of being able to return the funds that have been lost but there is another risk of losing higher funds.

Even though there are several opinions from gamblers who can recover losses, be sure that it is luck without guarantees, because he will not get lucky a second time so don't hope for the same chance as other people, but close gambling if you have lost a big loss, save other funds for needs that take priority over those funds lost in gambling.

Actually they are aware positively knowing good or bad paths. It's just that people who have played gambling have felt a big victory. And on the other hand most people are big ambitions because the defeat of money that has been lost becomes uncontrolled emotional is a mess in time. which starts to assume entertainment will become an addict because it is too optimistic

I totally agree with you, I have said it over and I er again as this remains the truth we need to stop pretense that we don't all gamble to make money but have fun which sort of fun that couldn't be gotten from other activities,lol this is a therapy used to careless about losses made.


Losses are certain. After a huge loss which have met your limit for that day, keep off till the next rather than revenging or breaking your rules. Well if you can't or endure the losses there is no need to keep gambling in other to preserve your emotional health.

Well, having the mindset of gambling as fun is the best, but still, you may at the same time not deny yourself of making the money in there if you have the opportunity, and the opportunity will not even come if you do not give it all that it takes. For me, the only difference here should be the mindset we have in trying to make the money in gambling, if the mindset is bad, then everything could be bad and can lead to desperation and frustration. But if the mindset is good, no matter the outcome, it will not hurt much even as the gambler is not taking it as a do-or-die affair, it is never a must to earn through gambling.

Whether we like it or not as well, gambling can't be pretended as an avenue to have fun without the temptation of making money, and if I may ask, how many people are even having fun in gambling or taking it as a fun-filled avenue? If there are, the percentage will be so little. This means that most people are gambling for the money and we can't eliminate the fact that so many people are professionals too and are making money through it. This is why I always advocate sports betting to make gambling easier and still override some of what you alleged gambling and the house of. But when it comes to the casino itself, then you could be mostly right.
