Topic: Responsible Gambling Practices Most People Ignore and Sleep on - page 3. (Read 1070 times)

I also believe that setting proper boundaries is the most important practice we need to master. It's really easy to lose control and go overboard, spending more money than you were actually planning. Trying to recoup your losses is probably one of the worst decisions you can make during a gambling session. I agree with most points mentioned by the OP, except maybe the last one. Although I'm pretty sure that the majority of people on this forum at least have the best intentions, it's an extremely delicate matter that should be discussed with a professional, a designated gambling support group, or someone close to you.

I put more emphasis on limiting myself to gambling and also to prevent large losses. We don't know how much money we would spend if there were no restrictions on gambling. That's what makes many gamblers lose a lot of money, but they don't stop gambling. Instead, they become even more eager to recover their losses.

Limiting gambling can give us a sense of responsibility so we don't gamble excessively. We can gamble comfortably and have no targets to chase because we will consider gambling as entertainment.

It is clear that setting boundaries is top priority that must be maintained and by setting boundaries it can also have very significant positive impact in the long term, anyone who has set boundaries can more easily control themselves.
We all know that self-control will influence gambling addiction and also maintain financial stability, so every gambler must be able to set these limits.

Setting boundaries will also be related to sense of responsibility because in context like this those who have set boundaries will have the responsibility to ensure that they do not make mistakes by exceeding what has been set.
Some people say this is difficult, but it actually quite easy if you intend it from the start and actually start implementing it.

Unfortunately, there are still many gamblers who are careless and think that all this is quite trivial, but those who think like this will actually find it easier to become gamblers who often experience bad results.
And of course they can never be ready to accept it.

The gamblers who want to play the gambling with their experience or knowledge should take responsibility.Because the money was not come easier to the gamblers.When the money not come easier we should not just like that.So the gamblers who uses the money in gambling site must be the free money.The free money in the gambling site was mostly followed by the gamblers because the loss will not affect him at any point.Balanced money in the gambling site was most important one of the gamblers.Because many people loss the money and disappear in the real life.So better game was free money game in the gambling site.

You understand how to minimize the chance for losses huge. You also have good self-control. That's the reason why you can stick with your limits. But it is not the reason you often win in gambling. If you win the gambling games, that means you have good luck in gambling. Or you have great skills on certain gambling games.

This is something that not every one can do it. Average people will add more their money for gambling when they win a jackpot or big prizes. They think it is a chance to get bigger prizes because they are in a lucky day. Sadly, it is just a lucky winning that happen very rarely. When we try to gamble more and more, finally we lose all the prizes that we won. I hope average gamblers will follow your way, so they can enjoy their winning although they may lose tomorrow.

I prefer the word forgot to ignore, gamblers will listen and read the best advice on how to become a responsible gambler, but everything they learned about being a responsible gambler goes out the window when they are playing they just forget everything because they are so concentrated on playing and winning, like bankroll management and playing that they can afford to lose, its basic but when you asked them after they lose their bankroll, they will just say that they forgot all of this.

Experience is the best teacher in gambling, many times when the gambler says that he should have done this to avoid losing that's the time that he understands and gets that advice into his head and implements it, but until he is not in a dire situation where the advice he once read and hears is needed he'll just say he forgot it.

that is very true, because if he still can access other gambling sites, then, his self-exclusion to one site is just futile and doesn't make sense. the real change should come from the gambler himself and should have sheer will and determination to alter his lifestyle. this is for the betterment of himself and not anyone else.

but before someone becomes an addict, should already have some self-assessment before you put yourself into the brink of no return.
-  have a regular check-and-balance of your lifestyle
-  at least monitor your finances and see where the bulk of your funds go to, if it is in gambling, time to re-think your life's choices
-  do you have some family relationship problems owed to gambling? maybe time to ask yourself, the why?
-  are you putting yourself and your immediate family to danger because of your gambling debts?

Everyone starts as a newbie in gambling.

Later or sooner, these newbies will soon realize the importance of being a responsible gambler.

But how can they realize it? Along the way, they will experience win-loss scenarios. When they win big, they will be carried away and will think gambling is too easy to be a profitable thing. They didn't realize that their winnings are now slowly depleting and they will regret what they did. That experience will be one of the keys to becoming a responsible gambler. Sometimes it needs several same experience like that before the realization comes.

I believe self-exclusion can barely help someone with their addiction unless they do it on every single platform available online because if a gambling addict uses the self-exclusion option in one platform, they can still access another platform and start gambling there because the urge to gamble for addicted gamblers is pretty strong and a self-exclusion in one platform cannot stop them from gambling.

The points you've mentioned are good, and they need to be followed by gamblers when they start gambling and not when they have already become addicted to it which is the biggest mistake people make, they don't follow these practices at the beginning and then they start looking for ways to control their emotions and urges when they become addicted.

Because after all that is the more recommended approach in gambling whose purpose as you said is to minimize all bad possibilities, on the other hand I am sure that all gamblers want to get a big win but this requires them to put a very large amount of money, It is very difficult for those of us who always maintain involvement in gambling to be able to get such big wins because the amount of budget we have is not too large and indeed only with this approach can we stay safe and avoid the possibility of greater harm, and the other reason is because there is no certainty that can guarantee us to get the big win, so the best option is obviously we can only approach it with full restrictions because then we will avoid the possibility of greater harm.

Basically we can put hope in victory but what is not recommended is "forcing" something that always runs randomly and does not have any certainty and this is why in gambling you are not advised to overdo it because the risk is too great especially if you play on the type of bet that is pure luck. On the other hand, if you finally manage to get that big win someday I hope you will stick to your plan by preferring to cash out or quit rather than applying greed because usually in situations like this a gambler will be tested between they must choose to prevent or be greedy for the sake of something bigger that they think can be realized.

The greedy was the important one in the gambling site,because many people had loss their money and their full savings because of the greedy.The gamblers should take a pause in the game after the big winning in the gambling site.Because this was common one in the casino game,many people loss their funds which they had earned from the game to loss because of the more greedy to win the big money in the single game.This was the blunder use to do by many of the gamblers at their initial stage.Even some times the experienced gamblers will do the blunder after the huge experience because of the greedy to raise huge money in the single game.For the big money it take time we need to wait for the opportunity.

You have already pointed out the reason why I generalized the statement I made that every gambler understands how dangerous gambling could be despite that they never stick to the solution that would prevent them from the danger involved.
Nevertheless, people can be addicted to anything not only gambling as you said but most people never focus on that area and this is why I never like how gambling-addicted people only talk about the negative effects of gambling.

I always follow my limits and that saves me from losing too much and of course winning too much too lol.

Although if a huge hit, i stopped and will be back later or tomorrow. Because too much will bee too much, unexpected huge win is good but i stopped after i get it. I always gambling in moderation, loss-chasing is worst and could end up getting a huge loss.

1. Setting Limitations

This should really be the main thing on your mind on the time that you would really be touching up this gambling space on which you should really be that making yourself
that responsible so that you wont really be putting up yourself on such situation on where most gamblers been suffering. If you do find yourself that being too greedy
then gambling isnt something that would really be good for you. Why? sooner or later you would really be finding yourself that getting wrecked with it.
This is why you should really be that careful and be mindful on whatever actions that you are really that taking specially on gambling dealing.
Make yourself that responsible then you wont really be having any problems.

The majority goes with the financial management as a factor being neglected on. And that's because a lot of us think that gambling is an investment and treats it like that without having the understanding that it is an all in taking risk and you have no idea what comes next after the bet you've casted. At the same time, it makes someone make terrible decisions in handling their finances like the approach of how to save and invest properly.

Those important things are also being neglected on and that's why the image of gambling has been destroyed long time ago because of those gamblers that can't control themselves. Becoming addicted to gambling and doing wrong decisions like asking for loans just to gamble, selling their stuff to gamble, becoming irresponsible with their families just for the sake of gambling. Heard of those stories, right? And that's why it's like connecting the dots and creating a domino impact for most of the gamblers that are neglecting these factors.

Basically all you need to do is let yourself be not consumed by gambling and you should be fine. Some people turn gambling into a lifestyle, and even though I never truly understood why they do that, that is also the reason why most people end up losing their money as well.

I think it has to be a bit more important than what we are thinking about, like maybe they are missing something in their life and they want to fill that with this, it should be important to realize that we are talking about something that would not be all that crazy if we were on their shoes as well, so we do not understand why they do it because we are not them and did not live the same life they did. I still hope that they could get better and find a solution.

Yes exactly, I agree with you that the negative viewpoint of the society on gambling has become more and more common, and yes it is true that all this is because most gamblers see gambling in the wrong way that creates a wrong approach that ultimately destroys their lives in every way, as we know that the population of addicted gamblers is increasing along  with the newbies who just came, As I said above that everything starts from the wrong point of view that ultimately makes them worse, on the other hand, I firmly believe that most of them view gambling as a "place to earn", like changing and considering "opportunities" as if they can become a reality when in fact it is nothing more than something  that does not have any certainty and guarantee to materialize, which means that the possibility of losing can never be avoided..

So the point is that the situation of this misunderstanding should not be allowed and must be immediately corrected in any way that makes sense, because of course it is very worrying and unfortunate if in the end many young people grow up following the wrong path and advice that can certainly destroy their future.

Those who have abused gambling should be able to realize that they have gambled excessively, so it is very necessary to try to reduce their gambling activities before their lives change for the worse. They must start trying to get rid of their gambling addiction by visiting professionals who can help them cure their gambling addiction because it has had a bad influence on themselves and the people around them. Unfortunately, this does not always go well because people who have abused gambling do not realize that they have used gambling excessively. This requires help from other people to help them become aware of what they have done so that they are willing to admit that they have a gambling addiction.

Will be always dependent with the gambler as an individual. Will it be right to generalize? There's a high tendency that gamblers are confused of responsible practices and its actualization. As other have mentioned, no gambler is not aware of how dangerous it is to gamble and bet. We're just too hooked that we become unaware of what is actually happening. Domino effect that you will be driven and continue betting until you don't have nothing left with you. Process of addiction I guess but not conclusive to all of the gamblers. It is also applicable to anything that consumes your time that you are too happy doing it. At such state, we disregard ideologies of how things should done.


Indeed addiction is a different thing. Remember the idea of vices? As a child you won't be dreaming of doing so since you know that it is a  bad thing to do. Then a cliché twist of faith to some, they ended trying or engaging to vices such as smoking. Addiction (assuming exaggeration), will make you a bit irrational given that you know things are bad, wherein in this case gambling too much, however you would still continue with your initiative.

Expectations are the problem. We hear about fairy-tale luck and fortune and want that same serendipity. I've learnt to enjoy gambling as fun, not a guaranteed income. Knowing you cant control luck is hard to accept.

Ultimately, gambling is about the excitement of the unknown. Not the outcome, but the anticipation and excitement should draw. I keep telling myself to gamble for fun, not prestige. The mindset shift liberated me. Play intelligently, set limits, and know when to quit. Sure, safety first! Gaming responsibly should be the only thing that brings joy and entertainment.

Key is acceptance. Learning to accept that luck is important and that not everyone will win the jackpot is key. Its practical, not pessimistic. Realism offers a peculiar comfort. Well conscious of the odds, I bet for fun. I stay grounded by using this strategy to make gambling fun rather than stressful or unrealistic.
