Have you become a responsible and ethical gambler, or do you still find subtle ways to increase your odds of winning?
Have you become a more financially literate and socially conscious gambler?

I have never spent so much money to gamble, neither has gambling come in-between me and my job, my relationships and other aspects of my life. It is safe to say, I have never been an irresponsible gambler and have never had the compulsion to gamble when I'm not supposed to. I bet sometimes on sports and this is usually because of some friendly arguments between I and my friends. This I am able to achieve because I have a job, good hobbies and friends that keep my mind busy all the time.

What small actions have you taken to combat underage gambling in your locality or online?

I come from a region where underaged gambling is prohibited. Anyone and everyone has the right to send underaged children away from casinos and other gambling platforms. The problem lies with kids who gamble online in their closet as it is often difficult to know what they are up to. It is the duty of every conscious adult to teach the children the right values and the potential consequences of violating them. I am one of those adults who let underaged children know the dos and don'ts of life, including gambling. I believed those little admonitions from me has helped most children around me maintain boundaries.

Have you become a more financially literate and socially conscious gambler?

Due to the many stories about irresponsible gambling and gambling addiction, I have developed a strong sense of consciousness towards it, and I do not want to end up as a problem gambler for myself and my family.

My actions are not so big but can be effective because I have spoken to other gamblers my age who I know have children growing up under their care. There is a need to keep a proper eye on your children, making sure not to gamble in front of them, and also monitor their activities online so that these children do not start gambling online without your knowledge.

i can say that i am now more responsible in my gambling and not too aggressive to increase my bet when i find a series of losses. it may be because the longer i think that if i can not control my gambling then i will always be an irresponsible gambler, and therefore as much as possible i arrange so that i can gamble according to the rules that i have set and not exceed the limits.

there is nothing special that i do about it, but i always gamble in places that are not accessible to children and as much as possible do not play in public places where children might be there. i think that small things like that can be used as examples of actions to reduce the number of children who are exposed to gambling at an early age.

I understand responsible gaming as a game of long-term risk limitation. In other words, a responsible player is one who knows how to control his risks. You know, there are fairly simple rules to avoid getting into financial disaster and to ensure that you always have capital, time and motivation to continue playing. And the most important rules are to limit the size of bets and the number of bets over a certain period of time. This allows you not to lose much.
As for financial literacy, it can be understood in different ways. I have seen proposals even in schools to introduce lessons on financial literacy. But, as for me, different people put too different meanings into this concept. In fact, there is still no clear definition of financial literacy.

I have always been a responsible gambler in my opinion cause I learned the importance of money the hard way so I am not going to spend too much on gambling that makes me responsible and I am always rational so I am never thinking of ways to beat the house cause its not possible.

I don't bother cause they know what they are doing is not allowed and it is their parent's job to monitor their kids activity and in this internet era it is impossible to find their real face.

The point is that it is different to play skill games like poker than casino gambling. In the skill game, it is precisely that, with skill, which you can increase with study and effort, which increases your chances of winning. In casino games you cannot.

Have you become a more financially literate and socially conscious?

Yes! the thing is that if you do this correctly over a long period of time, you won't see this as gambling alone but an opportunity to expand from yourself. However we have different psychology and most people cannot handle the same stress and level of thinking necessary to keep the mentality. You need not only to be carefree of money or have a probabilistic mindset but also the resilience over the tough times.

If you want and edge on this industry, you need to meet new people, those who are more informed or well connected. So you can learn from them too. And you also need to give value back, that's why you also need to learn new things of how money works.

Never a responsible gambler, I'm too panicked by slot gambling, but love football betting.
Just as entertainment and don't think of increasing any odds.

By telling the true information.
You must know about the Domino High Island mobile game, it is a game for all circles in my place even minors play it.
Even though it is a gambling game, but I said that it is not good and will only be a waste of money,
because many cases involve gambling until finally caught by the police.

Quote from: Davidvictorson on May 31, 2024, 12:09:14 AM

Have you become a more financially literate and socially conscious gambler?

As it should be, a professional gambler should be financially literate and socially conscious and aware of his status in the environment.
Every gambler must know how technology develops, how gambling is increasingly developing,
but the status as a gambler does not have to be told to anyone because there will be many negative views.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

We strive to become a responsible and ethical gambler but the temptation to increase your odds of winnings is just too hard to lose and I may add the temptation to chase our losses is also hard to beat, but as long as you are not doing this every time you gamble and you sometimes take a risk then you are good to go.

I don't have much to do with anything we have a very strict law about underage gambling if I find one establishment that does this I just report it with evidence to get their license cancelled and also they get a stiff fine.

So far I'm good after I experienced my worst, when you go through a lot of worse things, you learn what to avoid and what not to do, experience is the best teacher in gambling.

^[1] I have always been a responsible gambler, and I'm still gambling without any pressure, and I still believe it will continue that way as I don't see myself losing control of gambling.

^[2] I haven't taken any direct physical action to reduce underage gambling in my area, but I have given my little relatives advice towards that to the best of my ability, trying to change that mentality that most of them have that gambling is the easiest way to escape poverty, which is part of the reason most of them start gambling at an early age.

^[3] When it comes to gambling, I'm very cautious of what I spend, as I consider that whatever amount I'm wagering is automatically a waste of resources, so I don't treat it as something serious, and I don't spend much money on gambling in the hope of expecting something big or even making a budget as a result of an expected winning.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

The big question is, who is a responsible gambler or what does it mean to be a responsible gambler. For me a responsible gambler is a person that knows when to stop, especially when the odds are not in your favour. Increasing your winning odds just as you said OP, doesn't guarantee winning, if your prediction always comes out 2 odds and it's been working for you, I will suggest you stick to what works for you.

As for the underage gambling, I think it has been a collective effort from most adults to help fight it, I've seen a situation where a little of boy was sent by his father to go to a gambling shop to help play games he had already booked with code, when the little boy entered the shop, he gave the front desk officer the booking code his father gave him, immediately the adults that where there started shouting at the boy, telling him to go back and call his father, even the front desk guy rejected the booked game. So for me, we can fight against underage gambling collectively, as it shouldn't be a one man thing.

Lastly, I can only gamble with what I can afford to lose, so i do my risk management whenever I want to gamble because it's 50/50.

1. I was already a responsible and ethical gambler in the first place, I didn't find any subtle ways to increase odds of winning in this forum since most users always predict the favorite ones.

People are predicting the most favorite matches on this this? I do not think so. What I noticed is that people predict the clubs that are most likely to win but you know how match can be, even an underdog can win its opponent which is better than the underdog. Any matches can fail someone to lose a bet.

2. Only if they the young people ask about gambling with me, if they didn't ask anything and they gamble in front of me, I will let them to gamble aka do anything what they like as long as they didn't harm other people. Mind your own business.

3. I learn about money management by myself, not from gambling.

Im not totally knew what ethical gambler means honestly. But as a player whom just using gambling site sometimes for enjoyment, not really sure if I could bet more than my normal risk apetite. Sometimes odd can increase with a higher risk but I stick to my common betting.

Underage gambling is prohibited and thumbs up for Government for being strict here, even the casinos are quite strict when it comes to underage. What I hate us the online platform that is so soft that only requirements sometime is email which make underage so easy to register.

With regards to finance I could say I am a good controller and apparently sophisticated enough to be addicted on pure gambling.

To be honest, the more I read and learn gambling information, the more the more I become interested in it. I am more than confident in my firm position; I am unlikely to turn out to be a dependent person, but it becomes more interesting to try my chances of winning. As for explaining gambling to the younger generation, I, as a parent, of course, show examples of bad stories. And the way this is explained will form in children’s minds. But the third question is unclear to me; if a person initially calculates his budget, he will also be careful with his gaming preferences.

Responsible and finding ways to increase my chances of winning in gambling. Thats' how I should work in order to kee tha risk in control, being responsible means knowing what I'm doing, and I'm happy that after learning from my mistakes in the past, I have now become a responsible gambler who uses an more realistic approach in sports betting.

What small actions have you taken to combat underage gambling in your locality or online?

I can only discourage people within my family as I'm not a type of guy who loves to mingle with my neighbors or relatives.
I gues it's more on the responsibility of the parents, so as a parent, we all have our individual job to monitor our kids to prevent themselves from learning gambling at an early stage.

Quote from: Davidvictorson on May 31, 2024, 12:09:14 AM

Have you become a more financially literate and socially conscious gambler?

Yes, since gambling is more about managing the risk, I have become more matured in managing my funds, and I always follow the principle to gamble only what I can afford to lose so it will not affect my other activities in life, like the main one.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

There shouldn't be much difference of opinion about the three questions above, but let's see what I can say about them:

I don't mind my winnings or losses on a bet, whatever I accept without having to complain about the results. Self-control and budgeting when it comes to gambling is part of responsible gambling, so my answer is definitely YES.
Do not post anything that interests young people about gambling on social media, including big wins or anything related to gambling.
Yes, I don't gamble anywhere. Of course I have been implementing this for a long time and of course for personal reasons and also my social relations with society. Most online gamblers here play secretly, they cannot gamble in public places when the government does not legalize gambling. Awareness of the huge risk of loss makes me more strict in managing my gambling budget, meaning I only gamble when I really want to.

1.I have managed to start gambling responsible after some years of addiction that I suffered.

I like to see people that quit gambling addiction. It is nice seeing this. I have also been addicted before and I later stop the addiction which make life and everything better for me. Not that gambling is bad but we should not be get addicted to it which is what that is very bad.

Quote from: Frankolala on May 31, 2024, 02:10:07 AM

2. Underage gambling is not my responsibility to combat because these underage children hide to gamble and they will never let anyone know they are gambling. If it happens that I see any underage talking about gambling or trying to gamble, I do sit them down and enlighten them about the consequences of gambling and that they should face their studies and have a career first before anything.

What I have just known is that there is no how underage gambling can stop. If you know an underage person, just ask him that are some of the students in his class gambling, the answer will be yes if he tells you the truth. They are even gambling among themselves without going to betting shops or gambling online.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

all this question you've asked here have been repeatedly asked and people have aired out thier views in multiple of ways to the best of thier ability and the generally thing you can take out from those views is that you're primarily responsible for your gambling journey. Regardless of the tunes of advice you see here regarding responsible gambling, if you don't make a conscious decision to gamble the right way, you're going to end up getting addicted even while you have all the knowledge there is to get.

At some point, it's not even about the age of the gambler or your ability to becoming a literate at gambling. It's about knowing that excess of everything is bad and you need to moderate in all things we're doing. One of the issue we have in our society is to tag a thing as something that's totally bad even when we know that people must get themselves involved in those thing. And what's the implication of such things, you end up making people to engage in such act in secret battling so many things in there own that they can't openly tell a third party because of fear of being being judged and addiction becomes inevitable in the process.

3. Yea, of course discipline is very important in gambling and that will help you be a responsible gambler and you will not care about your losses or allow your emotions to control you since you are not betting with an amount that you cannot afford to lose. That alone will make you happy and socialize with people freely.
