You need to ask yourself what it the reason for yo to play gambling often now and you need to be honest with your answer.  If you really set boundaries on how you play gambling and now you are playing excessively, and even if it is not affecting you financially,  you are not losing much yo u just have to be careful because gambling is about luck, you may be winning right now and a time will come that it might not be favouring you much like now. Playing gambling too much is dangerous even if you might be winning right now, so not let your win  make you to play excessively.

People easily become addicted when they irrelevant winning and it makes them feels as if they should continue to play it can make them to win more .  Gamblers needs to understand gambling very well  because it is kind of tricky that your gambling win can make you to increase the limit at which gambling is being played.

Yes, that's true and they just think that breaking something is normal and doesn't need to be made a big deal. They don't realize that it is the beginning of future problems because by breaking it, they will think they want to break it again at another time.
If they break it more and more often, it will become a habit and no one can stop it except ourselves. Breaking your own rules or not is up to each gambler.
If they still care about themselves and their money, they will try their best to violate it. They will only use gambling as a place to gamble and will not overdo it in gambling.

We make rules from the start because we know that there is something we need to avoid so that gambling becomes more focused and will not disrupt our finances. However, when we violate the rules that we have previously made, of course there will be consequences for our actions, sooner or later we will definitely feel the impact of the violation. Indeed, these regulations are not binding and explicit, but rules are still rules, even if they are quite trivial, not submitting to these rules is an action that is not justified.

Looking yourself in the mirror, what reflection do you see, a man or a tough addicted gambler? Just a simple question that deserves an honest answer. Not minding anyone but only looking after yourself, does all these criteria really matter? Gambling is important and have tasted the substantial amounts of profits generated at my end. It's easy to implement rules in gambling and its also very simple to break them. Principles that took almost an hour or days to implement can easily broken within a blink of an eye or even minutes. Gamblers encounter new phases in gambling steadily, it's never inclusive to start ruining our chances but keeping all hope alive is the major spot to target in the system.

Yes, it's unethical, you're breaking the rules you made yourself. Apart from being unethical, this also shows that you are unable to respect decisions regarding a rule, and also shows that you have no commitment to yourself. And this also shows that you are one step closer to gambling addiction. and if this continues, and even worse, you eliminate these rules, then you will be closer to gambling addiction.

So before you fall deeper, it would be better if you return to the rules you have created. And remember to always comply with these rules and the various commitments you have made, because with consistency in acting in accordance with what you say, this will give the impression that you are indeed a responsible gambler, who is able to control gambling well.

And you also have to remember that gambling is full of risks and other negative impacts, which can lead to losses and can affect the balance of your life. but all of this comes back to us in responding and also doing it. And when you are able to limit this activity, the losses you experience will be minimized and your life balance will be maintained.

If you aren't careful you can easily go against your set down rule in gambling especially when you are winning. And if one continues, at a point you will start losing. The winning is just to lure you into the system.

You've provided excellent insight as a senior colleague. When it comes to gambling, there aren't any standard rules to follow. What matters most is finding an approach that aligns with your preferences and sticking to it, even if it means not changing course unless it leads to better outcomes. The primary goal of gambling is usually to turn a profit, whether you're in it for financial gain or entertainment. Even if it's for fun, it's still preferable to come out ahead rather than lose. So, whatever strategy you adopt, it's essential to remain committed and continually refine it to strengthen your position within the gambling community.

While I don't personally gamble much, I understand the value of consistency in any approach of life. Since there isn't a fixed roadmap in the gambling world, it allows for flexibility and the opportunity to establish your own rules, especially if they're effective for you or align with your beliefs. It's crucial to stand by what works for you.

It's great that you are aware of your gambling habits and have set out some personal rules for yourself. However, it sounds like you may be starting to stray from those rules by not taking breaks as you planned.
It might be a good idea to reassess your gambling habits and see if you need to take a breack for a while. Maybe take a break for a period of time to evaluate again your gambling habits will be the greatest idea tough. I can imagine every gambler having the ability to do this. I'm sure this will have a general impact on the entire gambling industry.

Nver forget that it's always best to gamble responsibly and within your means.

Ethical? Well, a few harmless infractions here and there might not seem like a huge deal if you're coming out ahead.  But ethical behavior matters, rules or no rules. 

Sure some limits can be flexible, especially when all you're after is a good time.  But it's wise to pause and reflect now and then. At the end of the day, you've got to be able to look at yourself in the mirror.  Only you can decide what sits right on your conscience.

Sometimes it happens and thats why we need to focus with our gambling habits something this also happens to me but mine is when am busy winning in a particular session that am gambling, I tend to go higher and even forget that I have set a particular boundary that am not supposed to breach and this happens because am of the wins that I get or experience during those period.

For me the answer is a big NO!!. The first step to becoming a responsible gambler is being able to properly arrange your priorities plus your ability to maintain a proper discipline in your gambling activities like how much time you spend gambling and how often and how much you stake. Some persons will argue that it is ok to sometimes overlook the personal rules we set but for some people they will definitely end up overlooking it over and over again till the rules become useless.
Still there should be a definite threshold to Every of our gambling habits and practices to help us fight addiction and other unhealthy gambling practices.

We keep rules that guides us and make our existence in the space longer, I know how difficult it will be if we don't milked the gambling system, rather we grow to he fonder and afraid of huge losses. The possibilities of winning grows higher but that doesn't mean we're not eligible to sits in possession of huge profits. We're gamblers and you're supposed to know what it means to break gambling rules in the system. It automatically sends a direct to everyone around us, thereby we should be very careful inother not to end up been criticized.

IMO in this situation it depends on the ability of your financial strength in the end.
Indeed, indirectly violating the rules that we have made ourselves is not very good because if something like this is allowed it will invite you to a new situation where you will continue to violate again and again and habits like this actually interfere with the initial rules which have been set before and by breaking the rules that have been made before you will also indirectly increase your expenses in gambling.

Even though it will not be a problem for your finances in the near future, it may pave the way for you to do more things that require you to spend more continuously.
If you don't have a problem with it and can still handle your needs and financial management well, maybe it won't be a problem, but if this actually affects your finances then I don't think it's worth continuing.

I do agree on this one on which it would be better that you should be cutting it off while you are still aware of your actions. Never ever tolerate out such thing because once you do have that kind of behavior on trying out to tolerate out such condition then you would really be having those thoughts that you would really be needing up to continue on what you are doing since you are really just that fine. Dont tend to be like that because once you do have that kind of tolerating such action then setting out rules would really be pointless and useless. This is why it would really be that best that you should really be cutting it out while its still early. You would be finding out that you are making the right decision on the time that you are really that sticking with your own rules.

If  you do have that kind of feeling that its not ethical on breaking your own rules, then you could always opt in to go back into track and avoid out on violating those things in your next actions.
You are the ones ones who would be having needing that kind of control and not other people. It is really just that there are ones who doesnt really care on continuing breaking up those
rules as long they could be able to make themselves that able to enjoy then that would reallybe that enough.

I can't just say anything about this cus you've not specified if you've been having any wins ever since you started breaking out, but if you created some rules and cannot keep to it, what's really the essence?

The dilemma here is that later on, he may continue this practice and before he knows it, he's already too deep in his situation. So while you are still aware of your your actions, better go back to your personal rules. It is your choice so it doesn't matter if it is ethical or not. At the end of the day, it is your money at stake, so the responsibility is all yours.


Do remember about New Year's resolution, I can compare this with that. Because for sure, most are breaking their own resolution because they can't commit with it. So just like in gambling, better make your own rules that you think is sustainable for one. That you believe you can have commitment for long-term. Otherwise, breaking it again and again will really happen.

If you are handling the game like this, what you are doing is not bad, on the contrary it is good, although a 30% loss is too much, because when we play in a casino it must be done for much less, and this is something we must know clearly, these are games of chance, casinos will always have gnanaics and we must be 100% Encouraged to spend a lot of money, in an acceptable percentage to carry the game period should be below 10%, this would be considered a feat, In fact, I believe that no one can do it, but I am demanding this from myself because the fact that I have done trading has taught me very good lessons about financial Statements, and that is something that we need to apply to improve our economic situation. We cannot afford to do things just for the sake of doing them, we must be very emphatic about it, we cannot allow things to get out of control and we lose more.

What you say is absolutely right, we cannot avoid that things can be done well or badly, all you have to do is continue as you are going if you think it is going well, but otherwise if you see that things are not working out for you. If you want you can do a little, improve with our strategies, read more about the games and how you can make your game more efficient, this is something that very few do. However, these types of things can happen for the better when we learn to see and manage our money, which we are allowing ourselves to lose, we can never play more than normal, because it is a fact that things must happen that way.

What we can think of some things to do is that we cannot break any type of rules, if we break our own rules, then we are wrong, we cannot do something like that because things must happen differently, break the rules In a game it is neither good nor ethical, it is better to always do things well so that things go well for us.

Only you can answer that. That's personal. How can we even know if you're gambling too much if on the other hand, only you know your financial situation? We can't give you an accurate response just by telling us your habit since there might be part of the story that wasn't mentioned.

Besides, ethical or not to break your gambling rules, that's not the point here but rather your actions instead. Regardless if you follow your own gambling rules or not, come to think if everything is still all right. If you know to yourself that nothing unusual is happening at your actions despite continuous gambling, then you are good to continue.

first of all, I want to ask you, what was your initial goal in making rules for yourself?
If indeed you made these rules to prevent yourself from all the bad effects of gambling, why did you break these rules, whereas the rules you have set should also have a strong commitment to remain obedient to your own rules even if you do not experience major losses or you can even still win, but believe me, if gambling is used excessively without limits, you will experience early signs of addiction that you are not aware of.
you will definitely say that you are fine, yes of course you are fine because you have not experienced any major losses and on the one hand you will not know the first signs of addiction yourself but other people can judge whether you are experiencing the first signs of addiction and all that can be judged by you breaking your own boundaries.

the characteristics of a gambling addict are usually accompanied by initial signs of continuing to gamble and a high curiosity that wants to continue gambling even though you are lucky to get a winning streak, but this is a temptation that can make you very bad in the long run.
I say this because I have had a bad past so from now on I suggest you obey the rules you have previously made rather than continuing to break these rules but in the end you will experience a worse addiction.

Yes I understand that and I think we can't hide this from the public eye that all gamblers have the goal of getting a win in gambling, but the difference is that there are some people who are too pushy to get or chase the win and there are also some people who are not too excessive in terms of forcing the win to come, meaning that there are some people who overdo it who end up with addiction while on the other hand some other people remain on a less dangerous approach and they just wait for the win to come by itself with on the other hand prioritizing and focusing on risk management.

Breaking the rules once in a while may not be a big deal as long as you make it clear to yourself that you don't want to get addicted to the same infraction again, because it is possible to do it again and it is even possible that you will get so used to breaking the rules that you have made or the rules that are suggested as a whole. However, applying caution and vigilance is something that should always be applied and owned by all gamblers, because this is what will continue to keep you from some bad possibilities.
