Topic: Responsible gambling - page 29. (Read 3918 times)

Clouded decision, yeah, happen to me many times, although sometimes my brain will tell me to stop already because I'm either winning or losing, but still my heart will dictate to continue and so it's a hit or missed on my end.

So it's better to take a rest if you are being consumed by gambling, at least a day or two is good and then come back refresh and maybe you have a better strategy and saw what went wrong on your previous sessions. It's going to be hard, but at least a sound mind can make good decisions and not follow your heart.

You really need to read and understand my posts properly before replying since you keep misunderstanding as usual. I never mentioned that responsible gambling isn't possible at all.

I clearly stated that responsible gambling is rare/uncommon which is why very, very few gamblers end up winning against the house in the long-term. Think!

For the OP, I'm sure you didn't pay attention to old topics that discussed things like this before, so you created the same topic as this. It's a good idea if you want to create a topic, you have to dig up old posts that other members have made first. Avoid making the same topic.
setting a budget for gambling is something that must be done by gamblers, the point is to avoid excessive use of the budget and even incurring debt for gambling, people who apply budgeting in gambling will definitely be safe from the trap of bankruptcy and also this debt is an important thing in responsible in gambling.
Getting enough rest is also another important thing, a fresh brain will make good decisions.

First of all, when you mentioned about the source of income you mean a job like a steady paying job if that be it then I can agree with you because in gambling you need to learn a lot of lessons along the way and the only way you can learn those lessons is via losing sometimes,  and in other to continue,  you may need to have another fund to bet with and if you don't have a source of income you won't be able to continue after you experience you loses.

Many times,  those who chose only gambling as a source of income have ended up being disappointed and to some point it has become obviously clear that gambling has no assurance and since it is a game of luck we can't rely on it for a sure repeated winning.

I agree with you. If a gambler wants to make money in the casino, no advice will help him. He will lose all his money. Gambling should be for entertainment only. If a gambler wants to make money, he better get a job and stay away from the casino.

that is true, if you can still contain your gambling impulses, it means you are responsible enough on this habit. always remember your limits, if you go beyond from time to time, that's fine. as long as you go back to square one and not put yourself in a terrible situation owed to gambling debts or of similar compromised situations.

if you think you are on the brink of addiction, keep the following simple pointers so as not to stray
> stick to your allotted budget no matter what
> remember your bills to pay if you are about to screw up all your funds
> remind yourself you have your family waiting for you
> find alternative hobbies such as sports, traveling, food hunting, etc that will interest you out of gambling
> meditate as much as you can, contemplate about your life
> communicate/connect with your family, closed friends

Also let gamblers not see gambling as a means of making profit, so that they don't get carried away by their emotions, and start chasing their losses. Any gambler that starts chasing his losses will become and addicted gambler because he will allow his greed take over his mentality. You have brought up some good points on how a gambler can stay away from addiction. They should see gambling as a means of entertainment, so that you shouldn't put your mind on winning at all time, but you will also consider losing in mind too so that when you lose, you will be happy with the outcome of the game.

Well, your statement is kinda contradicting since investing funds one can afford to lose to gambling is also a part of responsible gambling.
A gambler who is not responsible In their gambling activities will hardly be able to only play gambling with only money they are willing and can afford to loss easily.

So, in nutshell, it is actually and completely possible to practice responsible gambling, I mean, I myself is a regular gambler sometimes, if I don't practice responsible gambling, I probably will be spending all my weekly earnings on gambling alone, which could have been very bad to be honest, remove responsible from gambling, then it means the gambler is an addict, so, for gambler to safely, without regrets of any kind, participate in gambling week day and week out, it simply means that such a gambler is a responsible one.

Very interesting because you have stated some of the things one need to know to stay safe as a gambler. There are other things we need to put in consideration for us to benefit high from gambling. Gambling can be very addictive if we don't know how to go about it. There are newbies that are always falling victim of loses everytime they bet. Once we know oue wickedness, it is good for us to work on it so that we can make  profits from the gambling. We can make good profits in gambling if we have good strategy that will keep putting profits on our table.

Op, have you realized how many times this particular topic has been deliberated already???... People read the forum everyday and any topic that gets repeated...no matter how it is; edit, spin, twist, interchange etc .. it all explains the same fact.

back to the topic, most gamblers only read for reading sake..; if they could register on sites without even reading 'em T/C's, how much more on reading threads that'd help reduce the risk of addiction or increase responsible gambling??  Some gamblers don't even know when they get addicted... They feel that's their best moment to play freely...

I am not sure if my post here got deleted or something, but I think I forgot to click post or something so I might as well do the post again.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this title many times here in the gambling section and it would probably be better to be move on to gambling discussions.

Anyway, I understand both of your points here and I think it is necessary if you going to start gambling and trading responsibly. At the same time, I think these two gambling and forex trading were not something that you could probably do every day where you could expect a huge amount of profit or return since the way I see it is there are always winners and losers here in these kinds of platforms. You could get positive results sometimes but for sure it is not possible to always win every time on these platforms. So just dont put a high percentage of investment on gambling probably a very low percentage of your income is the best thing to do, even on forex trading there are some traders that might tell you that is it guaranteed profit which is not really true since you could always lose your money on trading, similar to gambling there will be losers and winners.

I mean, responsible gambling has a positive value in avoiding addiction because gamblers can set the percentage of money that will be allocated for gambling without caring about the results in the game. Losing and winning will be considered part of the game. If the results of gambling are random, not all players play games that test luck because players also often play gambling games that involve skill.


Correct. This is what I mean by positive value.

Once a gambler aiming that they become Rich in a short period of time because they are doing good in gambling then all I can say about that, is a bad mindset cause we all I ow that through gambling we are just depending our lucks cause we have our luck in our side then we will win a good amount that can make us happy. But if we don't have our luck then everytime we put our bet we will loss. So it's better to get in gambling for fun only not for profit

Making extra income and getting rich are two different goals. Gambling to have an extra income is not a bad idea because they reason why everyone gambles is to win. I don't think anyone gambles just to lose and help the casino make more profit. I gamble mainly because of fun but I also expect to make some money from it. It becomes a challenge when you begin to rely on gambling as a source of income. Some persons begin to make budget and include the money they are projecting to win as an income. Believing that gambling will make you rich is the pathway to gambling addiction and frustration.

Well, I understand the "responsible part", never enough talking about that... whether we talk about gambling or trading, both can be very risky and people should be very careful with their bankrolls. We can get rekted pretty quickly in both, so when it comes to new players they should be warned about all the dangers.

But to be honest I don't get the poll... gambling and trading can yield profits, but there's more in that than just being responsible. You need to have some knowledge & skills, and there's always that luck factor.

that's true, many people have high hopes for gambling in the hope of getting rich quickly, they should realize that if they want to be rich it's better for them to work hard to achieve it, not by gambling, gambling is not the solution to their financial problems, because there are people who have limited money and they get advice from other people or see gambling advertisements which are said to give them a quick win, this makes those who have limited finances do it because they want to get money instantly, without them realizing this is a trap that will make it more difficult for them in terms of finances, also they can become addicted to gambling because maybe they will be more interested in gambling and also of course they will find it difficult to get out of this trap, because usually someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily get out of their gambling addiction , I think they should be able to resist the temptation of gambling even though they have enough money but it is not recommended to gamble because the impact can attract anyone who plays it without exception, even if people gamble responsibly it is not impossible that they will not addicted because they may also change their motives when they are gambling and, as in many cases, they change their goals when they are gambling.

Some people who gamble don't think about this, where they gamble but are not prepared for the risks such as losing their money which could make them emotional and gamble again because they want to recover the losses that have occurred. This needs to be avoided with good self-control. Good. but as I said, everything can change if they are already in gambling, if they have the slightest wrong thought then they will go further in gambling, such as the loss of self-control which causes emotions to emerge which will control themselves and encourage them to continue gambling. without seeing the bad impacts that will occur. If they want to gamble, they should first make sure they are ready to lose the money they bet, because if it's not like that then there will be long-term problems. Don't gamble excessively, try to gamble appropriately so you can enjoy the game you are playing. because many gamblers chase wins or recover their losses, they don't gamble appropriately because they gamble with passion and emotion, obviously that's not the right thing, because if that's the case it will actually make them go deeper into gambling and make them trapped in a cycle. addicted.

Not knowing the difference of trading and gambling is a big mistake, you shouldn't mix between trading and gambling because both of them are different. Trading is become gambling if you buy new listed shitcoin that's not listed in any centralized exchange.

Instead of sharing a common information, you need to find a reason why there are a lot people become gambling addicts. Those people must have been read about self control etc, but they still can't stop to gamble.

I'm not going to turn down any good suggestions including this one that's been threaded a few times in this forum's gambling discussion section, it's pretty much the same thread just worded differently.

Perhaps you didn't do a bit of research before making this so the same thread came back as you made it, as you are probably new here so don't know much of what we often talk about when it comes to gambling here.

Responsible and gambling rarely mix op which is a fact if you ask me. Most gamblers lose control when gambling for various reasons which is why it's considered a risky proposition.

This is why you should always invest funds that you are actually willing to lose in order to avoid any regrets later on.

most people came into gambling in hope of making some extra income or get rich which is really very bad for anyone, this is not for making some extra money.
but this is for losing extra money or sometimes losing everything and ruin lives, and what is good gambler? I think it means professional gambler who are making money by gambling but who knows that they are making money or losing, gambling is more entertainment and do not play it with money which you can not afford to lose.
