Topic: Is it ethical to break your gambling rules - page 5. (Read 1167 times)

If your asking such question to find a little justification for your action then I think nobody here can actually tell you when your going to far or not, I don't know how flexible you are on your rules and I can't tell your reasons for beaking the rules, but I know that if you hadn't come off with some winning this week then you would have stopped on the first week, maybe you felt that luck was on your side, so you dicided to continue playing despite the fact that you had a set rule.

I've also at many times broken my gambling rules out of joy of winning and didn't know when I over did it for a longer period of time, I enjoy going for the 5 odds and I stake high , and some weeks I do win a lot and I would end up staking even more. That might be the reason you went two weeks. But I can't be a judge if you over gambled or not

But I worry that we may break the rules that we have made because we are aware of them. I mean it's certainly good if we realize our mistakes. But repeating the same mistakes on purpose is another thing. This means that you do not respect the rules that you have made yourself. If you continue to make habits like that then why are the rules made? So I don't mind if you broke your rules this time and you've admitted it. But it would be better if you try to make rules that are flexible and not that strict. I see you can't stand gambling for that long.

Basically, it doesn't look ethical if it leads to breaking something that we've made before, especially if it's the best rule that leads to a lot of precautions to minimize any bad possibilities. However, what is recommended is to treat gambling in a reasonable way that means not going  overboard by establishing good management along with imposing a lot of restrictions.

I think we all know about how bad gambling  can be if it is done in a way that is not recommended and it is definitely unethical to break the rules that you have already broken. As you said, everyone has their own perception and also everyone has their own limits, and that means that if you have your own rules, then that's the best for you because I'm sure that you make the rules according to your own abilities, especially in terms of balancing with your financial strength. So basically I hope that they can go back to the rules that they have made because that's what's best for them.

Let me remind you about the purpose of gambling where we all have one goal and that is to win. And we can do anything for this victory. Every day there is no basis for what rules I follow or not if I don't win there. But of course it is better to follow the rules Because we know that gambling with rules reduces the chances of becoming addicted. And considering this aspect I can say that there is no problem in breaking the rules temporarily if it is profitable. Moreover rules is not main motive of gambling. Basically rules are to gamble responsibly.

It a bad sign and an early addiction tendency because while you set the rules is to protect you from gambling too much and bow you are doing the opposites, regardless of what the outcome of the games or your winning ratio, the risk is still very high that you may lose more than you can afford along the line if you continue that way, rule is the rule and anything that makes you to move out of it is subjecting you to vulnerability that could be too harsh to handle.
So if you ask me I will give you a straightforward answer that you are unethically gambling right now and nothing is right with your pattern of gambling and in fact, you should classify yourself as an addict already, and what you should be looking for is the solution to get back on track instead trying to see justifiable reasons to keep gambling that way and ending up in more mess than you are in currently

It doesn't matter if you realize that you have broken your own gambling rules, unless you don't realize it, it might affect your finances, even if you say that it doesn't affect your finances, it means you are enjoying your game, so it doesn't matter as long as you are in control. Being aware that you have been gambling for a long time is not a problem in my opinion, sometimes people are often like that so it won't look like a big mistake that you have to regret.

The point is that you have to stay within your budget limits, the important thing is to be responsible for the gambling you play, always protect yourself from greedy behavior which could ensnare you into a gambling addiction, avoid it, if you feel that you have exceeded your limits, you should stop gambling because you still There is time tomorrow for you to be able to gamble again and it doesn't have to be finished on the same day, as long as you are still conscious and admit that you have been gambling for too long it will not be a problem for you. 

They wouldn't really be caring up if they have break something that they had set earlier on which been said that people would really be continuing on the things on what pleases them. Just like on mentioned above that as long you are really that doing fine and having not breaking your own wallet or bank then you are still that responsible but dont wait up for the time that you would really be already making yourself having that
kind of financial problem just because you are really that doing careless decisions just because you do believe that you are still that doing fine or well with your gambling activity.
Ethical or not, then you are the ones who would really be having those thoughts in the end. Its your money then its your choice to make on whatever the actions that you are taking.

Often people break the rules they make to satisfy their desires even though it could be bad for them. People actually already know that this is a risk but they still do it because they are curious about the results they will get.
They should not have to break the rules just to satisfy their curiosity about gambling games. Moreover, they can still try again at another time when they don't have to use the money on the same day. And it is true that the more often we break the rules, the more we will ignore the rules we make.
We will not follow those rules anymore and pretend they no longer exist.

to see right and wrong is very difficult, because it depends on your point of view, and depends on how you understand things, if it's evenly distributed it's not wrong as long as you want it, and I also don't really intervene that the OP did anything wrong in this case, he just broke the rules that he made himself, but it's not a mistake if he realized that and he had considered before doing it, that would be much more logical, but if it's in motion with his mind or his ambition in gambling, maybe it would be a different case, because he's no longer in control, even though he didn't cross the thirty percent limit as the normal amount.

If you continue like that though most likely that 30% down will go further south as in the long term everyone who gambles has a super high risk of being in red because there is the house edge to keep the casino afloat.If you play sport betting and you think you are good with your skills think again as the referees can make your analysis go to hell with some very much objected decisions that unfortunately are still going on despite having the VAR technology.

As long you do have the control and as long you do have the moderation with your gambling activity then i could say that you are really just that doing fine and its true on what most people been saying here that you are the only ones who would really be able to spot out whether you are doing the right thing or not. We do know that each one of us would really be having that kind of intent
on stopping whenever we do see somethings wrong with our spending. The important thing on here is that you do have the control and you do have that awareness on what you are doing.
Its true on what said above that you are the ones who would really be able to make out such decision if you do notice or see something wrong.

Breaking rules? Its not really something good to hear in general but there are things which we do really love on doing and having those exemptions on which it would really be that not shocking
that they will really be that considering on doing such step. Its not bad to play which is out of your limitation or boundary but make it sure that you wont really be doing it often
because if you do then it would be better that you shouldnt really be making those rules in the first place. It would be pointless and useless on having these things on having
this kind of approach.

That's right, be a responsible gambler by not violating what has been created.
How do you want to be responsible if the rules you make yourself are violated? Keep following the flow of the rules you have made and have no intention of breaking them.
When I gamble, I will definitely not break the rules that I have previously made, even though in reality when I gamble, it is very possible for me to get more profits. because it doesn't rule out the possibility that my thoughts are also wrong about that.

I mean, is it ethical when you break a rule? ask yourself that, because other people's perceptions may be different about this. Maybe you have a reason why you break the rules that you have set, maybe because you feel that your game is good enough that you feel that it is okay to break these rules. However, I personally feel that the more often you break the rules that you make yourself, the greater your chances of becoming an irresponsible gambler.

Before I made this thread seeking advice and suggestions, I took a second look at those limits and came to realize that the limits were not so strict most especially in the area of timing and financial involvement since I was lucky to record more winning and haven't recorded any heavy lose before since gamble within my financial means, but then also when it comes to time consumption,  the limit has not really helped in any ways.


Because where I set to gamble once or twice a week, most time I ended up gambling higher than that and this makes me to worry, that even if I am not losing money now, I may lose it later and that is why I am trying to put another measure in place to help me overcome such future possibility.3

Setting up limits for yourself can be a good safety net that prevents you from suffering some serious losses. If you are not sticking to those limits perhaps you should analyze whether those limits are too strict for your economic situation and if they can be loosened a bit. If they are not too strict and you are just being reckless then that is problematic and you should consider quitting gambling entirely until you are capable of better self control.

Yes from that point of view it is not wrong sir, as long as it is still within the scope of healthy accountability in gambling it is not something that can be said to be a problem, as he said himself, it does not interfere with his finances. let's say it's a margin of error from within him, but if it continues to do isn't it also a problem? as the OP said the last two weeks, the loss was below 30 percent and he said it was not a problem, but what if it continued for a month, because his mentality said that it was not a problem, then a scenario of bad possibilities could have come and even passed a dangerous position or more than 30 percent loss and instead wanted his money back from gambling and in the end lost his money which should not be excessive margin of error..., isn't that right?

If you do find yourself getting that entertained or enjoying on playing gambling then there would really be no issues honestly. It is really just that the only issue on here is that
on the time that you do make yourself that getting addicted to it. There are really things which are bound to be broken specially into those own set of rules that we have put up earlier.
If we do find ourselves that getting some enjoyment or thrill then we would really be considering on breaking those just to let yourself loose.

Later on then you would be having those kind of realizations that you have done something which is against with your own limit. You would really be finding yourself
to have that kind of thinking on the time that you would really be seeing yourself having those excessive dealing into gambling.

Of course it's unethical if you break the rules you made yourself, you have lost control so you forget the rules you made, go back to your personal rules, and avoid spending too much time gambling.

Breaking the rules that you make yourself is not a form of unethical behavior, it's just that if you keep repeating this habit, you won't have a stand. Just like trading, in gambling there must also be management, money or psychology. At first you only break small rules within yourself, as time goes by you will break big rules within yourself.

Your story indicates a gambling addiction, and the games you play are luck-based. Be careful what you do now.

I just hope that you can go back to the right path or to the gambling arrangement that you made at the beginning where you can't gamble for two weeks in a row, because I see in your case it seems that you are starting to be in a situation of increasing interest in some of the gambling activities that you do and it is dangerous because this is a situation where it will be increasingly difficult for a person to escape or ignore any time not to gamble at all, or you can say that you are very likely to end up with an addiction.

On the other hand I understand that you are not experiencing any problems with your finances, but believe me over time I am sure that you will end up with a lot of financial problems, I am not wishing you bad luck, but for sure and my advice and maybe the advice of everyone is that we hope that you will immediately get back on the sidelines, return to your original gambling management arrangements that you have made before, because if left unchecked then the possibility of addiction will be even greater, fortunately you can be aware of this, we just hope and all that is up to you, because after all prevention is better than cure.
