Topic: Responsible Gambling Practices Most People Ignore and Sleep on - page 4. (Read 1070 times)

Yes, the widespread of the negative experience of gambling makes some people, ethnic, countries, and religions tag gambling as something harmful to their society while the real result is caused by the gambler's immaturity habit of gambling.
All the factors you listed are good practices to escape gambling addiction or gambling more than we can avoid losing but if a gambler is not mature enough and very conscious to accept or operate with the practice he/she will still be an addict.

The problem is self expectations from gambling, this is what stop people from become an responsible gambler, when someone close to you make millions, accept that they get lucky, believing that you can also get this lucky is not wrong, but wanting to make it happen quicker, the ugly truth is it might never happen the way you want, some people are sure lucky than many other people, its a fact you must accept.

It's a main problem in the world today to accept that we can't all always be lucky, people do crazy things when they believe that the world is unfair to them, they blame themselves for existing with such cruel destiny, but they are not just smart to believe that it is what it is.

Gambling on the other part will possibly wreck everyone you know, it's not easy to see someone who gets lucky most of the time in gambling, they are not many, and if you come across one you don't have to do the same thing as them, safety first as a gambler, nothing else matters.

first and third options are enough to represent being a responsible gambler implementing these two options, a gambler can start to become a healthy gambler and can get other references about what he should pay attention to in order to continue to be a gambler who is consistent with his own rules.
there are many more options that are often ignored by irresponsible gamblers, they ignore how gambling works which can give encouragement to their own minds not to put too much money into gambling.

I really appreciate this post and this can be advice for any gambler not to ignore small things like this but it is very important for the future of a gambler who must remain a healthy gambler and remain responsible for every bet made.

Sometimes someone needs to experience gambling addiction and lose a lot of money in gambling so that they can feel what we emphasize and warn them about, usually people have to experience bitter taste before they learn and avoid it, therefore don't be surprised if they ignore the messages and warnings that we preached in this forum to prevent them from becoming addicted to gambling, even though playing gambling responsibly can prevent themselves from becoming addicted to gambling.

Everyone who follows the correct rules of the game can usually prevent themselves from becoming addicted to gambling. That's why don't ever hope that when we give positive advice about gambling addiction, it is rarely listened to unless they really feel the consequences of their carelessness and playing recklessly, of course there are consequences. such as gambling addiction and others, responsible gambling practices must be consistent and controlled, for example limiting the budget when gambling can be used as a responsible gambling practice.

The world is full of differences, everyone is different and every person's wishes will also be different and this is what makes people, especially those who are addicted to gambling, not easy to overcome, especially if it is just a suggestion, because they will assume that what you say is different from what they want even though basically if you review their wishes are very unreasonable, and also on the other hand most people come with a wrong understanding of gambling so that this makes them enter the addiction phase, like trapping themselves unconsciously because of the encouragement of the wrong approach based on a skewed understanding. We can see that there are also some gamblers who are still fine even though they have been involved for a long time, the point is that they have the right understanding of gambling so that it makes them avoid the possibility of addiction.

That's right, gambling itself is not a bad thing if we do it sensibly, don't do it excessively, and as you said, the reputation of gambling is bad or many people have a bad point of view because of those who do the gambling themselves. misoperating it, where they gamble excessively, and of course something that is done excessively is not good, just as if gambling is done excessively it will bring bad disasters.

Indeed, those who respond wrongly to gambling or who gamble excessively are because they are thirsty for big wins (money), they tend to only think about that but don't think about the losses and risks involved in gambling. That's right, things they don't pay attention to, such as existing risks, are the ingredients for them to become addicted to gambling. and of course it will lead them in a direction that may destroy their lives. Many gamblers are not responsible for what they do so that it harms themselves, even though they should not gamble excessively. Doing gambling responsibly is something that must be paid attention to.

The most useful recommendations, in my opinion, are the ones you listed first, because setting limits is akin to practicing or training yourself to achieve control over yourself, which involves discipline. When these techniques are followed correctly, there is no room for addiction to enter.

The second option, which is also acceptable to me, is number 5 because the assistance that other gambling groups provide in this area of the crypto realm varies.

This is a very good idea for especially newbies. Some newbies hid away from people knowing that they are losing and they keep dying in silence instead of asking for support. You don't stay out from people who have past through the bizarre experience that you are having, you only need to extend your hands by asking for the solution of the gambling challenges you are facing. For instance interms of continuous losses, a gambler need to reduce his wager habit and observe what he is not doing right instead of playing with revenge and aggression by increasing his risk which will lead to further losses. So it is better relying on advise and suggestions of experienced gamblers in the game you wager mostly.

Gambling in itself has nothing to do with greed but it is difficult for most gambler to control their greed during gambling and this has led so many gamblers into financial instability. Most gamblers are concerned about chasing loss and then lose control. It is important to set guidelines as this will help to keep greed at bay.

Gambling is a continuous process and having setbacks is inevitable. However, what matters is to learn from them and continue working towards controlling greed and promoting responsible gambling.

I think not really a lot of people has been addicted into gambling, most of them are just regular gamblers. Though being responsible is most of the time has been overlooked, but becoming addicted is different than not being responsible, since most gamblers tend to spend beyond the budget especially when being frustrated with the losses accumulated for the day.
A gambling addict are totally irresponsible, they have totally lost control of themselves.

the best way to avoid betting too much is to use a nice cold wallet! maybe difficult to reach, maybe with a timelock.
even the most avid gambler will have to surrender to this technology.

I would also like to point out my good bettor's decalogue, posted many years ago here on the forum it is always actual

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitbollo-betting-advice-45-267-13-1-place-tipster-competition-1234109

We always preached about responsible gambling practices but yet people are still getting addicted to gambling, some are turning into chronic gambling where it could be too hard for them come out of that messed they put themselves into, if only some gamblers can adhered to all the things narrated here then it could be very hard for them to becomes more addicted.
Whenever a gambler fails to understand and follows the principle of gambling then addiction is inevitable.

Gambling is a motivation and courage in one aspect,  the second aspect of it is that gambling have to do with greediness, what makes people to be consistent in gambling is when they have calculated what they will get within that period in gambling,  and secondly to be gambling addicted it come to a such a way that if a newly gambler wins in gambling within the short time it started gambling that will prompt the gambler to think that it may be winning continously in gambling seriously, so in gambling to get addicted is base on what you have in mind, someone who is not future money conscious will not be addicted with gambling but if you are conscious to make money with gambling nothing that will skip the gambler not be addicted..remember that what's makes people to be addicted with gambling is greediness and desperate to make millions with minor staking amount

From what happened, I judge that what is actually the problem is not whether it is difficult or not to be responsible gambler but whether you have problems with your own self-control.
Try to really suppress the desires and thought patterns that result in increased intensity of gambling.
When you can suppress these desires, you can truly have self-control and whatever happens from gambling, you can always take the right steps.
When lose, try to accept all the losses, even if you have some money to recover the losses, just forget about it and don't let emotions influence you mind which results in the desire to recover the losses.
And when you win, immediately withdraw the winning amount and leave the gambling site, then you can do other activities to forget about the desire to gamble so you can get bigger win.
You must be aware that bigger losses will await if you continue to gamble in an effort to recover from osses and must realize that all wins can become losses if you still have the desire to get bigger win.
Indeed, the issue of self-control is the most difficult thing to implement because it is related to emotions, anxiety and also unpredictable psychology.
As gambler you must begin to understand that the money have is very valuable, you work and earn money not only to gamble but also to meet living needs and be able to have much more decent life.

 What I think concerning this is that,you need to try more harder,they say practice make perfect.keep trying them and I'm sure you gonna make a difference.If you think the theory works for you better,you can still make it in the practicing aspects so you can be perfect in both.

And again you said practicing in the field is far beyond ones control,which is a No for me.i usually hear people say this often times when they make a huge mistake or something,and they will say it's a mistake and it went out of my control.
There's nothing you can control,cause you're the life cursor here, wherever you choose to direct your game it follows and when you don't direct it well it fails.so at this junction you don't blame anything or anyone but your self,that's why you need to be responsible for every losses and gain.

I have tried to follow what you have said and it is really hard to convince yourself not to play more when you are losing. The same situation arises when I am winning, the difference is that I am using the winning money to continue my gambling. When you are losing you always feel that another bet and you will cover your losses. Another bet and it continues till you lose everything that you have as capital. The problem cannot be controlled if you are disciplined or not, it is the urge that takes over and makes you go on till you lose. The amount that I have lost is not that big and I can recover it, imagine when someone loses his entire salary or payment with this problem.

You're right, this is also not applicable to people with severe gambling addiction, because it will be difficult for them to follow all the guides and tips, what will really help them is the guidance of medical professionals because they know better what to do or whether it is necessary to take medication to gradually reduce a person's gambling addiction.

From research you can not notice or find that gambling have a strategies that someone can be taken to be winning gambling,  I think its not acceptable or void to me base on what I have seen in gambling,  this gambling doesn't have a tool and when looking at it very well you can see that gambling is something have to deal with advantages and disadvantages,  and when you come to the advantages side of gambling it have no means to make the advantages to be occurring almost every time, and disadvantages parts of gambling is something that will continue to happen because in gambling you can not say you have study gambling almost every time so therefore gambling have stage by stage and this stage is being lucky and unlucky so this two things that's me not believe that their is strategies to follow in order to be wining gambling

It was hard because we've been always influenced by our emotions and greed, it is a normal situation since we are a human being. But it is not the case why we should not be acting responsibly, at least we never do this always and forever. At least sometimes, we know our limitations, and at least sometimes, we can think when to stop. It is really difficult when already addicted that is why we don't let it happen instead, have a habit to start controlling ourselves as early as possible. It may not be working instantly, but at least we do something to avoid from falling into the worst scenario.

I am sure most gamblers have heard about all of those measures, it is just that when the emotions are high people often forget about those kind of things and simply follow their instinct, this is why you have people that after a bad session begin to wonder what could have gone wrong? As not even they know how it could have been possible for them to lose control over their emotions in such a way and lose so much money so quickly.
