Topic: Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? - page 5. (Read 1985 times)

By being careful, we can see what will have a good and bad impact on our lives, so if we see that gambling has a bad impact on us, it is better for us to avoid it and start gambling less. It will also affect our gambling records if we record them so that we can see any changes in our lives, especially in the use of money for gambling. We ourselves must reduce our involvement in gambling so that later, we will not experience regret when we see that we have used too much money to gamble. We also better regulate the use of money or the allocation of money that should be used for gambling. We will not try to deposit more because that will potentially increase the amount of losses we will incur from gambling.

We also will not be easily tempted by greed which will continue to tell us to continue gambling because we will only use gambling as entertainment. And it's true what you say that "prevention is better than cure" because if we already have a gambling problem, it won't be easy to treat it.

Well basically maybe like you said it depends on each individual in response to his record, whether they will try to return the loss or vice versa by acting more carefully to reduce the number of losses along with always taking precautions. And on the other hand this problem is really beyond our control, maybe I hope they can read our discussion, nothing but just to be taken into consideration so that their gambling involvement does not get worse in the future.

If they are completely familiar with gambling along with luck then yes as I said before there is no reason at all to put greed in their gambling, because I'm sure they will worry if the final result is not in accordance with what they expect. So with this they will be able to apply the statement that "it is better to prevent than to cure" and also yes maybe they won't be

Yes, it's not necessarily because it depends on each gambler. After all, some will be fine after paying attention to their gambling records, but there will also be those who will have the desire to try to recover their losses. It is best if they are willing to start reducing their gambling activities so that it will also reduce the amount of losses. But I hope that those who visit this thread and want to read about it can consider it and want to try it for their own good because everything can change so that it can be even better. Having a gambling record can be a limitation for someone so they don't gamble too much.

You are right because by understanding everything, they can control their greed and because there is no guarantee of winning from gambling, they will realize that they will not get a bigger chance of winning. From their gambling records, they can see the number of wins and losses and think about not using more money in gambling. They will also learn to resist this temptation so that it does not influence them to continue gambling.

Yes but that is still uncertain, because it is not necessarily that just by looking at the records they can reduce their gambling because they see a much larger number of losses. As I said before the record can make someone do two things, first yes maybe they realize and reduce it because they don't want to get worse and secondly you have also said that it is very possible that by looking at the record they do not accept when they see the amount of defeat is much bigger then they will get emotional and continue to gamble by applying greed to catch up with the defeat in the previous time. I think it depends on the perspective of each individual, I can't say that for sure because only they know what's best for themselves. Hopefully there are some who look at this topic and they actually consider our conversation about what luck is and how it works.

By understanding all the ways luck works in gambling then I'm sure there's no reason for them to act greedy, because obviously there are no guarantees and certainties out there, so it's better to reconsider everything you're going to do in gambling. Yes, of course, and by understanding what is meant by luck, it is clear that they will not be affected by every temptation that comes.

Yeah, you are right, mate. Like I always say, when I started gambling, I once thought it's something that you can just predict and it goes as predicted. After betting on the game, I keep hope alive that the game must win. Sometimes I even calculate how I will spend the money that I am yet to win. Later, I learned how to make predictions and how to control my enthusiasm (don't be too excited when you have not yet won the bet you made, and don't only think about the wins; also have it in the back of your mind that the game can bust). I realized all that as I became more experienced. In essence, it's wise that a player first gain proper knowledge about gambling before engaging themselves in it. Like you said in your first paragraph, if one only looks at the misleading advertisements that some casinos make, they will feel tempted to bet, knowing that all they are doing is grabbing your attention.

In gambling, everyone has the chance to win or lose. But players or potential players must be first made aware about the positive effects in engaging into it. Do not be a devil's advocate to tell them to just push through without thinking thrice. It's still better to gamble with proper knowledge so that you won't regret and point fingers when things go haywire.

Not keeping records, does this make me a bad gambler?

I agree with your statement. In gambling we only discuss its negative sites but there are positive aspects as well. Does everyone just lose and no one wins? Many are winning big bets but they are not being disclosed. We can never tell who will lose and who will win in gambling. Since there is a matter of luck in gambling. Sports bettors can bet as per their wish. There is no one to blame if the result is everyone's loss. Because even if he loses, many people are winning there. There is always win and loss in gambling so don't prioritize only one aspect.

I share your sentiment because I, too, believe that sports betting provides a better chance of winning, allowing for larger wagers. It's not accurate to claim that no one can win in gambling or that everyone loses in the long run. Such sayings often come from individuals who have had unfavorable experiences. It's essential to have a positive mindset because if we start thinking that we'll lose from the beginning, there's no point in gambling, as we won't experience the excitement we seek.

If having this record can make them reduce their gambling activities, they shouldn't need to worry about anything. They can prevent them from gambling continuously because they have good self-control so they can limit themselves. But some gamblers don't have a gambling record and they are still doing well now because they can be disciplined in gambling and don't pursue anything except just wanting entertainment from gambling. They also never think about chasing victory if they manage to win, whatever the amount because they know it is difficult so they would rather accept whatever the winning amount is. They also know that gambling requires luck, so if they lose because they don't have luck, they won't continue gambling because that will only make them lose more.

And that's the point of having discipline in gambling so that we are not influenced by anything we see from gambling. Additionally, for gambling records, it will depend on each gambler. If they are comfortable seeing the number of wins and losses, they can keep a gambling record. But if not, they also don't need to keep a record of their gambling.

Yes, there is basically no other method as a preventive measure except self-control and some restrictions, that's it, it looks quite easy but I'm sure almost all gamblers find it difficult to apply this method. The biggest risk they can face is addiction, honestly I'm not sure if you or they can survive in such conditions, because addiction will always be the worst point for someone in gambling. I'm sure everyone doesn't want to get into the addiction zone but on the other hand they always focus on chasing victory, even though that mindset is always your starting point for addiction. So the point is if they know about the concept of luck then I'm sure they won't act like that, because no matter how often you try, if in the end you are unlucky, you will lose again. So it's also important to understand what luck means and how it works. It is very important to understand so that when you experience defeat you will not continue to chase victory.

But that awareness must also really come out of his conscience by understanding the concept of luck, because it is not uncommon for them to just say it but not really realize and the next day it's like that again. Yes, of course it will return to each individual in his awareness, the point is I hope they understand the concept of luck.

Being reckless can't in any way help, it's better to be responsible and also keep the record as much as you can't. I'm sure that this is not burdensome in any way, and if you are doing well you will naturally know and if you are not doing well you will know as well. These two would now give the judgemental clue on how to approach the gambling afterwards. The good record and consciousness I keep with my betting make me now gamble more money on sportsbooks than on casinos.

Do you know why? This is because I was able to know and admit my weaknesses and strengths in the two. This is why nowadays I gamble in casinos for fun and use a little money for it. But I gamble sports for the real deal and use a substantial amount for it.

Yeah, it can definitely remove the fun part if you are constantly logging every single interaction you had with the casino.

Being a bit reckless also is more fun than acting like an accountant 

At the end of the day you should have a rough idea of how much you are losing in casinos. If it is too much, you should have a look at it. That's all.

A person who might have lost a large amount of money within a specific period of time will surely feel very bad about that once they check the records. After checking the records, all of a sudden, they will start thinking about the things they could do with that money if they hadn't lost it in gambling.

I would also say the same thing as you because after all, self-control plays a role in preventing us from experiencing a lot of losses so that we will not sink deeper into gambling. We have to overcome and avoid problems that will arise and this has been experienced by many people who often gamble. If we don't want to experience the same thing as them, we really have to learn better control so that it can protect us while we gamble and after we finish gambling, we won't experience a lot of losses or want to recover from those losses. If we lose, there will be a feeling of wanting to recover from that loss, but if we have good self-control, we will not try to recover because it will be difficult for us. We will lose more and more and that means we will lose more and more money.

As long as the person is aware and willing to admit that he has used a lot of money just for gambling and is willing to reduce his use of money, he can really reduce his gambling activities so as not to experience more and more losses. But it all depends on each person's wishes because we can suggest something like that but if the person doesn't want to do it and thinks that he is still okay when looking at the gambling records, that's up to them. The important thing is that we should always limit ourselves and if we think having a gambling record is good for us, we can create one. But if not, we don't need to create it.
