Topic: Reasons you should not gamble on too many things at once. - page 6. (Read 1159 times)

Whoever it is, especially those who have just come to gambling, they must first understand what risks there can be for their money, that's a fact and they must understand it first before entering and gambling. Because it is not uncommon for some of them to come with a very wrong goal, which is to win or earn even consistently, it makes no sense. Unless you are clear and firm with yourself that whatever happens you will deal with it and not be a coward and run away from the problem. So don't be responsible and be really firm, especially if you miss the limits of self-control then obviously the downturn will definitely befall you, and I will say again all your responsibility is on you because you will feel it, you can see some people who have been destroyed by gambling, if you want to be like them then keep doing it and you will feel it.

For sports betting problems, I think well it doesn't really matter if they do have skills or hobbies in the world of soccer, at least it's a skill that can be utilized and enough to give you a chance, because obviously sports gambling of some kind I think it doesn't rely entirely on luck but you can also add some actions such as analysis on some of the teams you choose, winning or losing is normal. But I think it's different from normal betting which just relies on pure luck in it, it can't be analyzed and just relies on complete luck. So yeah sports betting won't really give you much to lose, agreed, of course you should still apply a lot of restrictions because that's the most important thing.

When a person sets aside their budget for gambling, that person is already counting on being able to play many different games. for example, a person who earns a salary of 500$ per month and after that person pays all the bills, he takes 50$ and deposits it in a casino, so that person has 50$ in his casino account and of that 50$ he can pay in 20 $ and play plinko, take $15 and play blackjack, take $15 and place sports bets. and even in the case of $15 for sports betting, he can bet on 15 different games, and he would place $1 on each game. see that he is playing a lot of different games, but he is not harming himself, this is because from the beginning he allocated 50$ for gambling

So it doesn't matter if the person will play many different games, this will not make someone spend more money, as long as the person always has a fixed amount that something periodically for the casino and it is an amount that does not harm real world accounts. In my case I just prefer to place sports bets, but that's because for me I don't like games that depend on luck, I think they are more difficult. but there are very intelligent people who in sports betting bet on all sports, play blackjack, play all games that depend on luck and have no problems. each person should play what they like, they shouldn't copy other people, they should just do what they like

Only focus on one single game and you'll not quickly lose money. If you try to place your attention in lots of times all at once, you'll not be able to properly manage your bankroll and thus make multiple decisions that are not financially sound that can lead you to debts. If this is sports betting, you can certainly bet on different things at once especially if you're really versed on the game. But if it's just different casino games, then it's certainly not the way forward if you want to 'enjoy' gambling.

If you know what you are betting that would be fine especially if it is different sports perhaps in sportsbetting. But if you are just guessing around then it is where bigger losses may take place. Also, having multiple bets won’t increase losing and winning percentage;it’ll just increase the amount youare betting and that would reflect to your wina and losses. Best way if you want to have multiple bets, is only to bet on matches you are familiar with. Some of us are guilty of just betting without checking the background of players and teams. We often get carried away by the hype which will never be a determinant in gambling. It would be much better to atleast lessen the risk of losing that much, especially if you cannot afford betting all in. And with gambling addiction, multiple bets I guess won’t always lead to such situationbut rather daily gambling.

I actually have interest in basketball, soccer , table tennis and sometimes I do bet on baseball though I don't like it that much but this doesn't mean because am doing all this am actually a gambling addict. Addictions come when only you don't have control over the said habit but if you have discipline over your gambling habit then I don't see any reason why you can't bet on different sports activities.

Just accept the reality that once you decide to gamble, you will surely lose your money at some point. Especially if you cross your limits in gambling, expect that you will only lose all of them and you might still end as a gambling addict. Whether you bet on one sport or another, I think that's only normal for a gambler who knows every game. If you don't win at this sport, then try your luck at the other sport. But never cross beyond your limits, because that will only push you to lose a lot of your money without having any guarantees if you can still recover them or not.

I don't think gamblers diversify their games either, but you do have a point.

I have yet to encounter a gambler that does betting, gambling, and poker all at the same time, that's just massive information overload and of course a bigger detriment to his chances at winning. Even gambling addicts know that this shouldn't be done, so I don't think it's a massive problem brewing, or at least not as big as you're trying to make it out to be. Anyways, it all simmers down into gambling responsibly. You don't want to be distracted while gambling, you don't want your kids or any minor for that matter to see you gambling, you also don't want to spend belligerently on your gambling, it's all basic line of thinking that should come easy to gamblers like you.

Anything done excessively is not good for a person, especially if it is gambling. Surely, these are the reasons someone can get when they can't control their gambling. His finances will be disrupted. He could become addicted to gambling and other psychologically disturbing things. Gambling is not a way to make money but gambling is just entertainment, so that is what we have to remember when gambling so that we are not too hard on ourselves. That is why we must be able to treat gambling properly so that no problems will come to us after we finish gambling.

My simple reason why I don't bet much in gambling. because gambling is not a necessity but a pleasure and hobby for me so it is not a good thing if I prioritize gambling compared to my work and family. So I will only gamble when I have more money and when I have free time. However, if gambling can promise profits, maybe I will spend more time gambling and choose gambling compared to working. However, the fact is that this is not the case, even if you are wise enough in gambling, this will not give you big profits in gambling at all and this will only minimize the level of losses in gambling. Meanwhile, people who suddenly become rich in gambling are people who are very lucky and someone who is smart enough to manage the money from the winnings he gets in gambling. Because gambling is a pleasure, we should be wiser in playing it,
because if not, bad things from just gambling addiction will be waiting for us, namely the domino effect of gambling addiction.

I only bet on famous league football which I routinely do every weekend. HK and SGP lottery are also frequent. For financial safety, if someone gives advice then it is good advice. I appreciate and respect it and it goes into the reasons we spend so much money.
The two types of gambling that I still do don't make me feel like I'm spending a lot of money because the target is clear, not because of a compelling desire. No luck, so stop and continue again tomorrow with capital the size of 1 glass of beer.
In football betting it's also like that. Didn't win, continue next week on Saturday and Sunday based on my time zone.

A slot game I will never play again even though I don't swear by it. Slots really make players lose track of time and forget the amount of money available in their account, let alone the type of game where you can buy free spins.
I would probably say the reason it's not a good idea to get close in the slots is because you can forget yourself.

Number 1 might not be entirely true because bookies sometimes are very trickish when it comes to odd allocation, they are always smart on how they give odds to matches and anytime gamblers see too much difference with other bookies, they try to split the bills and send the rest into other sport bookies just to have more odds multilply by their amount of money to have bigger reward but this is always limited to people that bet huge amount, small amount of money cannot give you anything with this strategy.

Number 2 and 4 is very correct, using to betting platform will only give you more time consumption betting, as you are making selection on this casino, you are also making another selection on the other one, if care is not taken, you will spend your entire day looking for the best games to play and it is even possible that after searching everywhwere, you might not have any game selection to bet on which exactly explain the last part you made in upper case.

Number 3 is also correct but there are gamblers that reduce their risk using multiple betting platform, just as I explained in the first numver 1, there also some gambler that reduce risk of having much losses by playing lesser risk option with the same selection just to make sure that they don't loss the two games in the betting platforms, your explanation are all valid but situations might also be different.

While I may be the opposite of what you're saying about dividing the focus because it's normal for a gambler to bet on this side and goes to the other side to bet with another game.

Maybe that really works as per your experience and could work for the other gamblers but maybe not for me, as I'm always getting distracted and does things at the same time.

I am not talented though but I agree that there really are those gamblers that can do it and gets better results. But, it's also known that sometimes they don't.

Really? I don't need to watch every single match to bet on them. There's no real "dividing focus" when you bet on multiple matches all at once.

Many people do it during large events like World Cup or Euro with success because often matches are played at the same time on 2 or more stadiums so you can't even watch both at once, but you can bet on both.

This argument that a gambler has to focus while betting on more sports events on one day is rather baseless.

what you mentioned is a form of "gambling addiction", and I don't think it's gambling that is negative but rather our behavior is too reckless in gambling so that the gambling activity we do becomes a negative thing that has a bad impact on us. And we need to understand about gambling first before we dive into the world of gambling. Gambling is indeed a game, but we cannot take gambling lightly because there are risks involved, there is money that we have to spend to be able to play and there is time that we have to spend gambling. So this is where we need to limit the money we spend on gambling and the same goes for the time we have to limit when gambling so that we can be in control when gambling.

We don't need to spend too much time gambling which can be very unfortunate for us if we miss out in the right way to bet. Continuous gambling without a well approach to gambling will cause havoc to us and it's going to make us to lose ourselves in it. There are big men that can not do without gambling because they have been in gambling for a very long time. Gambling can be very addictive and consequencial to us if we follow the wrong approach. We need to do things in the right proportion and follow the right strategy that will give us a good profits.

It's important to prioritize and not spread your funds too thin, as it can lead to faster losses. Dividing your focus between many games will increase your chances of losing. But it's just my opinion. Some talented people with ample funds and a solid strategy can make multiple bets simultaneously.

Gambling whatsoever you wants to gamble for once those not real means anything, from my perspective and understanding in gambling I have to understand the few things I know concerning gambling, be addicted in gambling does not simply means  how many times you play in gambling a day or how much you spend in gambling once a day, what I really want us to understand in gambling is that it has to do with careful and if you have no plan concerning gambling you will be forced to be addicted because all your hope will be in gambling, the thing that makes people to be addicted in gambling is because they are desperate to win money in gambling and since they are desperate to win money they will be very committed to win money and that is what makes people to be addicted

You run out of your own ideas while having only 3 so you made it into 4. Is that how it was?
I'll play devil's advocate and ask if you have any proof that a person who bets on different sports at once has a greater chance of losing money than a player who makes the same number of bets but chooses only one sport? I think you're making this up.

The same with addiction and time. Prove to me that a gambler who bets on football and volleyball at the same time will become more addicted and spend more time gambling that hos friend who only bets on football but bets the same amount of money and makes the same number of bets.

What's wrong to gamble on many things at once?

Let's say someone are interested in football, boxing, and basketball, they bet 3-6 events in a week and they gamble in slots to wait the match started. Such people are still safe and don't have any financial problem until now.

People get addicted because gamble too many things at one is due to skill issue.

If you increase your curiosity or see how big a win you will get when gambling, of course this will influence someone to gamble on sports, or they could also dare to bet because they like the sport itself. It's not easy if someone already likes or has a hobby in sports, of course he won't be bothered or regret it if he dares to bet his money there. Because from the start he liked it and it would be impossible if he didn't take part in soccer betting which has become a trend from the past until now.
