An attitude that gamblers always have without exception, all gamblers must have experienced it, even professional gamblers must have experienced being in such condition.
But everything would be the opposite if gamblers had the right approach and had more responsible attitude, they only gambled for entertainment and they gambled only using money that was not really used for living needs.
But that is still very small because most gamblers make every bet with income that they may still need for other needs in life, they will be very regretful, emotional and also cannot accept defeat.
Gambling with sense of responsibility will always be able to accept everything and they have completely forgotten what regret or disappointment is, they will come back again another time to have fun again and get satisfying adrenaline rush.
It is very difficult to find gamblers who are responsible and capable of responding well to every defeat they experience.

i guess we have our own share of losses, disappointments and similar emotions. after all, this is what gambling looks like. you can't deny the fact that there are so many frustrations involved here especially those long timers who have been in this activity for as long as they remember. 
being responsible relies on the player himself, not his friend or colleagues. because at the end of the day, it is your funds at stake, so it is your own volition to take care of your financials. and decide whether to continue your desire to play or pause for a while.


let us put it this way, gambling itself is not bad, it is the persons who don't know how to contain themselves are the ones making this activity viewed as negative in the community. if only gamblers will behave and control themselves, then there's no trouble that will arise from gambling. however, it is not the case. because various emotions are being experienced by these gamblers especially if they are already too deep in their games, or they are using someone else's money.

in my opinion gamblers will not think about that, they will not look at that side, because all they think about is gambling and gambling, indirectly they will become addicts but they don't realize this, and they themselves won't admit that they are addicted gamble. I think they can get good advice not only with advice on how to make better bets because not everyone of course likes gambling,  there are some of them who don't like gambling so it's possible that they will advise them about the wrong activities they do.

That's right, they will only think about it and think of ways to get big and profitable wins, but that way they don't realize that they have spent a lot of money to get a win that is almost impossible to get. Also with them like that,  gambling has made them stubborn so they don't think about the risks of gambling and can't accept advice from other people. even though they should be aware that it is impossible to win at gambling if they have thoughts like that, because what they have to look at is the host who always wins and their luck at gambling.

I agree with that. We make mistakes, we learn, we move on, and somehow find a way to change it.
Being a responsible gambler is extremely hard because of the appealing factor of gambling. It gives pleasure, let's not be hypocrites about that, it somehow jogs our emotions which is also why it becomes addictive. It's never boring.
But, when a losing spree happens, this is where it gets to our head and stress becomes more, madness. I had my share of losing spree and there is a time where I rant at the chatbox just to take off the steam in my head. I was so mad that RTP wouldn't be seen anywhere. It just took my money in a way that I have no fighting chance.
One of the gamblers' responsibilities is to control that emotion. Our minds can be cloudy sometimes due to losses and all we can do is rest for a moment until everything is clear. It's not like gambling sites will just give away a high multiplier just to make us calm again, that won't happen. There are games where it takes a lot of time before it gives back, patience is all we needed.

yes, that's true, many poor people still think like that, actually and they don't need to be advised, besides, later they will run out of a lot of money and go bankrupt, of course that will make them stop gambling in the end, unless the person is truly addicted. heavy gambling, they will definitely try as hard as possible to get a loan from anyone just to finance their gambling or commit criminal acts to get money, so far it is the poorest gamblers who are quite difficult for other people to advise to play responsibly.

They will not think healthier if they still have an unhealthy and poor mindset like that, for example they only hunt for victory and win big at gambling, that will never be healthy, unless they have a healthy mindset they will usually be able to enjoy more they gamble and can have fun.

Shouldn't gambling be just a place to have fun and entertainment for rich people, should it also be possible for poor people to just change their mindset to one like rich people, so they don't focus too much on chasing wins when gambling, the point is to play with money that is ready to be lost is also responsible. that is the most important thing

one of the major issue with guides on how to gamble responsibly is that it doesn't work yo easy for chronic gamblers. The average gambler out their doesn't understand the fact that he is gradually becoming addicted to gambling probably because of the popularity of gambling and because 8 out of every guy in most locally is into gambling and even when it's getting into you, no one really advice you that much and most of the advice you get is on how to make better stakes that will give you a great win.

I can even conclude that responsible gambling isn't for the poor folks that feels that gambling is their way out of poverty. No matter how you tell them to gamble responsibly, none of it will ever make sense to them because they will be looking at that person that won high amount of money for plain a particular game and the only thing that will come to their mind is how to win such amount of money.

Well, most gamblers do not become responsible when they do not have control and discipline themselves. We can say that there are only a few responsible gamblers. Because responsible gamblers somehow still feel the desire to win big when they play at the casino.

The only difference between them and other irresponsible gamblers is that they know where and how to stop when they gamble in a casino because they know their limit. And maybe somehow they also know that gambling addiction is not good either.

Any gambler that have emotional problems won't be a good gambler and will not making the right decisions at some point and many in that category will always be at a losing end since they emotions control most of they decisions making processes and for sure having a mood swings is already a bad negative attitudes on it own that will Robb off on all your decisions making process since you are going to be thinking in that directions, instead being logical in your thoughts and actions.

So as a responsible gambler, we need to overcome all form of influence and emotional crisis that can affect our gambling experience at the end of the day, because in terms of realities, gambling comes with alot of pressure and at that one need to make plans for such things and time that exposed the gambler to such risk and how to manage the risk all the time.

It's something that cant be handle especially when there are both desire and lust to continue playing, you ended up addicted and unable to control yourself, you need to work with how you should handle your emotions which is really making making a big impact and influence from how you react when things is pushing you deeply from your gambling participations, you need to work more with handling yourself and not just to keep following your lust as it will push you more from losing your money and more of your time.

Inasmuch as we are dealing with gambling, things like this cannot be found wanting, you can imagine the number of people gambling a d those doing it for one purpose or the other, some gambling responsibly while some not, everyone just tend to behave the way they like as long as it's a privilege that renders them under no supervision.

For someone who's already addicted, that thing has already been part of such gambler, taking it away will not be done by an ordinary means, maybe some were even addicted and yet not knowing or just deliberately which to be whom they are because of this freedom in gambling.

Yes, indeed addiction is something delicate, I personally have always said something, when you have to do several things and you have this addiction, it is something that we must confront in the most appropriate way, first the self-will that we must have in order to We can attack addiction efficiently, secondly the things that can occur due to its treatment are hard, it does not mean that you stop playing, but if there are intervals in which you cannot play, that is what can make people anxious. that they suffer from it, but it is part of the treatment so that they can improve quickly from the addiction, and although the addiction causes the person to not have a lot of money, to become decapitalized, to become even more troubled if they have or cause more debts, these are the things which we should avoid, because over time it will cause us more problems, it is better if there is the option of paying for a good quick treatment than later being left with nothing even to pay for a psychologist.

These types of things are what we must attack very quickly and we have to do it with the required responsibility, in this sense we as people who are responsible in any area must demonstrate it in everything, in the casino it is a way of doing it, only allocating the money that we are willing to lose and repeating that we should not make more deposits or introduce more money into the game after having lost it, but rather assume what we lost and that's it, I think that is the first step, with that you will save yourself from staying X time in the casino, but until you spend what you are willing to lose and that's it, if you don't follow that fundamental rule then you will simply lose all the money, controlling money is the first sign of self-control, emcoins can be given while playing With money willing to lose, this is how you can give free rein to emotions and impulses that sometimes cannot be controlled.

Actually, in my opinion, there are many ways to avoid greed when gambling, but it must be done with strong consistency. and I think the key is self-control, because greed, emotions and lust are under good self-control. If you really have good self-control, maybe none of this will happen, because as far as I know, many people gamble irresponsibly because they don't have good self-control, so they have the wrong thoughts about gambling which makes it a disaster. for themselves.

all of these things are related to good self-control, because in my opinion self-control is the best in gambling, like the discipline you said, it is also related to good self-control, if indeed we have good self-control then greed is maybe there won't be, it's just that they respond wrongly to gambling and make them take the wrong action. The hope is that gambling can limit the budget. and apart from limiting their budget, they must also be able to limit their gambling time, because in my opinion gambling for too long is also not good, even if they have enough money to continue gambling, at least they only gamble for a limited time. There is nothing better than prevention, because prevention is better than cure, isn't that right, friend?

and in my opinion that is also the main factor that makes them experience big losses, because that is their entry point to big losses. I agree with you, if you are in a casino it will be difficult to get anything more like a profitable win, it is also impossible for the casino to provide continuous wins because the aim of the casino is also to take advantage of the many people who gamble, but it is impossible for there to be any winnings. can be obtained continuously, it is almost impossible.

The chance of big wins in gambling does exist and is real, but for people who have strong luck, because there are people who gamble with the assumption that after losing a lot there will be a big win, I'm not sure about that. It's also true what you said, many people risk everything just to gamble,  and they dare to risk everything to bet, this action occurs because of the encouragement of the hope they have about the big win they will get and also the encouragement of the greed that is in them, so they dare to take very risky actions, even though they shouldn't need to do that to get a big win, because if they are lucky, with just a small amount of capital that will happen.

as I said before, those who are addicted to gambling will only experience negative changes, because if a person gambles a lot or frequently, it will most likely only make them spend their money in vain, so I don't think there will be any changes that will lead to on the positive side. because if they gamble frequently it can also affect their mentality and thoughts, which is likely to lead to negative things.

Yes, I agree with you, they should not respond wrongly to gambling and gamble responsibly as you say, if they gamble responsibly maybe they will not experience a gambling addiction which will clearly harm them in the future, especially financially, where we know that if someone has financial problems, they tend to become stressed, and if they are addicted to gambling, of course they will spend a lot of money in gambling and with a small chance of winning, they will only lose and what is clear is that this means a lot of money will be lost in gambling, so maybe they can just be stressed. That's true, many people gamble excessively, and I think it's because they themselves react wrongly to gambling so they dare to take actions they shouldn't. and indeed, if someone is addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to stop gambling.

that makes sense, and it does seem like it could happen. but that won't happen if they tend to be selfish and stubborn from birth, because they will only think about themselves and don't care about other people. when my friend got a big win, he also gave the win to his friends who perhaps wanted to share it, and that was good, but before that he was a stubborn and very selfish person, often even wanting to win himself. .

I agree with you, a person's character or attitude can change at any time, also the gambling they do can change themselves and their mindset. In my opinion, there are people who gamble by having a target before gambling, and when they gamble and win, they change their goal, where they lose the target they set at the beginning and return to gambling to get a big win. Indeed, everything can change at any time from one moment to another, just as their character can also change due to the results of gambling.

If someone has greed, it's natural, because it's definitely in each of us, especially when it comes to profits and money, of course everyone wants more than what they've got or have, but in my opinion, their greed for gambling is just making them addicted to gambling which will only put them in financial trouble. because if greed can actually bring about something positive, of course it won't be a serious problem.

It's true what you said, if their greed leads to the right thing, maybe it won't be a conflict or problem, but many people gamble greedily because they want a bigger win, which makes them get into trouble, and that problem is also a very big problem. very serious. because with that greed they will become addicted to gambling, and gambling addiction is certainly not a good thing even if they have a lot of money to gamble. I don't think that's a good thing. because if you really have a lot of money, it's better to just invest it rather than use it for gambling which doesn't necessarily mean it will produce a profit.

yes that's right, I agree with you, gambling will not change a person's bad behavior to good, because in my opinion gambling can change them from good behavior to bad.  A person can become addicted to gambling and that is indeed a fact, I'm sure we can see that there are many people who are addicted to gambling and do not know age or gender, all of them can become addicted to gambling even in the case of one-time gambling whose purpose is just to try it can also make them addicted to gambling, because initially it was just trying but over time it became addicted and indeed gambling can also make those who play it addicted to gambling.

If gambling is done in a limited time such as we suppose gambling has a consistent time of one hour, and do not care about the results obtained within one hour if it has been one hour then it's time to stop maybe it won't be a problem, because like that I think it can prevent the occurrence of big risks,  such as losing large amounts of money. and if you think about it, people who are addicted to gambling are also of course they will experience losing large amounts of money.

You are right and I can never have any doubt about that, and maybe you got me wrong, all these characteristics (carefulness in this case) are to be possessed and preserved by the gambler before they become addicted, not after they are addicted already. If they possess them before getting addicted, perhaps they can be aware, sensitive and be more cautious so as not to allow the addiction to happen to them even as they bet rightly and be responsible in their gambling activities. But if they lose and they are addicted already, of course, nothing again can enter their ears and mind easily and as people advise them, they get to throw the advice away. This is it because addiction works like madness at times, it will intoxicate you but still not control your entire brain which is why it is a soft madness, but internally, the person is not psychologically balanced anymore.

It takes either external help or the internal Willpower of the person to overcome. They will only think of gambling and will continue to lose money in this regard and will not stop until they do not have money to play again. And this of course will push them into financial recklessness and be so irresponsible to themselves and everyone around them. It must be prevented if possible and that was my plight in the first reply.

There are people that learning from their mistakes and those are the gambler in which will never become addicted because they are more on responsible gambler than greedy one and indeed that once you have full control of your emotion and knows where to place yourself then that proves you to be a good gambler.
not like those many that even spend all their money and time to try their luck to the fullest .

I love that part in highlighted one mate, and correct in gambling there is no certainty meaning we are mostly to end opposite of what we are expecting .

Have been in gambling Physically for 30 years(not that addicted of course but knows what is happening in gambling world)   and 6 years in crypto gambling meaning that i have seen those scenarios over the years and yes gambling is like accepting your defeat even before starting to bet.
this is because we have experienced completely losing over those years yet we continue to gamble .

How much money we need to lose more before finally accepting and realizing wha we are missing here?

This is an interesting thought. Indeed, when gambling, we are somehow forced to take risks, which in itself makes us vulnerable to a certain extent and distances us from responsible gambling. But you can't avoid taking risks. Gambling itself involves risk. Actually, this is what makes the game interesting for the player and creates excitement. But the winning strategy we might find anyway involves limiting risks. The more risks we take, the more irresponsible our play becomes. Over time, this can cause you to go on tilt.

Right, but still though, human behavior is a science that is hard to understand. And as we try to look at people started to gamble and says that they will be responsible. But at the end of the day, it's totally different as it seems that we have seen a different persona, transforming into a addicted person.

So in the beginning, it might be rationale for them, but later on, because of human emotions, their decision is clouded and then they become irresponsible that they've lost total control of themselves and fall into gambling addiction like the rest of us.

Yes risk is the game itself and when you gamble you are not only accepting it, but also actively looking for it by betting to something that is inherently uncertain. That is not necessarily a rational behaviour, like many fun things that are not rational, but it certainly cannot be classed as irresponsible because a person may be well aware an prepared for a worst case loss scenario.

​I also support you in that, because intelligence is not important for a player to continue playing and still get into an addiction, that is something that is not properly seen and that is just what it is about doing, when I see that Intelligence is applied when there is no risk of addiction. Intelligence allows us to quickly get out of any possible case of getting into that situation.

When I play, I try to apply intelligence to everything , that's the Only thing that makes me understand that there are things that I can't manage or manipulate to the way I want , it's almost impossible , but I also understand that money is what I have to take care of the most, In every casino we see the need to have a lot of money to bet and that is what we have to Apply Intelligence to , not Only in the game but in Managing our money, because if we bet more, we will lose more money, and that is when The peroans begin to lose control , they must maintain composure at all times.

Actually, the addiction can't depend on the smartness, alertness, or carelessness of the user. Once you get addicted, you cannot easily get out of that addiction, and it is not under one's control. The lure of money earned from gambling strongly attracts people to gambling in the hope of winning more money. More or less everyone has greed for money, it does not depend on smartness or unsmartness. Addiction makes people so intoxicated that there are instances of suicide after losing money.

People who think that gambling is only for entertainment and its negative side cannot affect them, even if you start gambling with these thoughts, you can't control yourself if you do not find a healthy environment. So for Responsible gambling, I think the environment is the key factor.
