Topic: Responsible Gambling Practices Most People Ignore and Sleep on - page 6. (Read 1071 times)

I would say that these 2 things would really be the most crucial thing that you should really be minding on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling.
If you are someone who do have that kind of self control and limitation at the same time that you are really that good when it comes to financial management then its unlikely that you would really be messing up yourself with gambling since you could really be able to have that kind of control which usually people do fail up on this one. This is why tons of people who do mess up their
lives because of too much losses on gambling because they have lost that control.

Once you do step your foot into gambling field then you should really be wary on the things that could really happen. If you do ignore those things then most likely
you would really be ending up on messing yourself into this field on which you should really be that careful on not to try on engaging too much
because excess things would never be that good.

A gambler needs to manage their finances because by managing their finances it will allow them to play more wisely and prevent financial ruin. Managing finances is the most basic thing that gamblers need to do because this will be directly related to their financial condition and it will help them to be more responsible for their gambling and also for their other responsibilities.

Yes, because it is a way that can enable people to control themselves properly when gambling, limit budgets and manage money properly, I also apply both and everything has lasted a long time until now I play gambling responsibly without ever feeling careless, let alone irresponsible. , when we can limit our budget, we can definitely use it as a reminder like an alarm to make us aware to stop gambling, let alone be able to manage money well and also manage emotions properly.

I think maybe many gamblers who are addicted to gambling do not apply the two practices above, even though it is very important to make gambling responsibly and remain under good control, as well as helping us not to become addicted to gambling, the most scary thing when people gamble is addiction. gambling, because gambling addiction is difficult to cure and not everyone can recover from their gambling addiction, that's why preventing it from happening to us in the future is better, making changes by implementing and consistently implementing the two practices above is more than enough.

These are good gambling considerations and factors, they are all that must have been known by many, but for those who are coming newly into the gambling industry or are facing one or two challenges therein, they can learn from them even as some of them might not be necessary for responsible gambling but an optional way of gambling lifestyle.

As a gambler, you must be very careful so that you are not being pushed by it, if not, you will be addicted and continue to waste money with nothing to show for it. Another thing that we must ensure is that we learn to fully gain an understanding of what we want from gambling. Gambling with the mind of money making is getting a whole lot of people in trouble, while those who even see it as a means to have fun often are being affected if done too much. That is why we should have our limits, and that is possible through our decisive plans which will entail the budgets we have per day, per week and so on so that we will know the amount of money to use for those activities, and when we waste money, we will call it quit instead of pushing it further and continue losing money.

Many gamblers would want to gain back their lost money and thereby revenge their trades, but this will not stop anything but will only make them lose more. The same thing goes for the greedy gamblers, they will not know the time to quit but will want more, and this often gets them into trouble instead. However, with budgetary limits and plans, one will be able to put an end to that. This includes the management in the OP, once such can be properly calculated, I am sure that it will work as planned, though it also depends on whether the gambler will be able to be truthful to all these or not. This is where the discipline in gambling comes in, we all have to be determined to be disciplined to further help ourselves.

In my opinion, this is the most ignored by every gambler, because they do not tend to have good boundaries or self-control which results in large losses occurring, but in my opinion the many and large losses that occur are because they themselves cannot limiting and not being able to control themselves well, because if they could have good boundaries and self-control perhaps there wouldn't be a big loss.

also with financial management, many of them gamble without looking at money management, they tend to gamble without looking at their own finances and often force themselves to continue gambling even though they always lose, and this is also caused by a lack of good self-control and There are also no restrictions on gambling. I agree with you, if someone is addicted to gambling then it will be difficult to return to normal. where they will always prioritize their addiction over other things. Many gamblers are trapped but it is because of their own bad actions. Maybe they don't consider their actions first, which leads them to become trapped in a gambling addiction.

Gambling responsibly was indeed easy to say but was really difficult in real life. Temptation is always there in gambling and even though we've been gambling for many years, such words' limitations are hard to follow, most of the time we exceed the limit because of common thinking - what if I could win more and be lucky the next round until we realize that we overspend already.

Maybe a few gamblers did this but the majority are not. That is what exactly happened to me and I admit that the moment I win, I don't even think about stopping as I gamble more.

            -    Everything you said is good and right, mate, and what I liked the most is that no. 5 that you mentioned, there are actually many communities here in crypto gambling that can give us guidance on what a gambler should and should not do in reality.

It's better to just ask questions because this is where we will get ideas and learn even more because of the different ideas or opinions that other communities will give here, to be honest.

I am good with these two right here. These are for me what makes gamblers became broke in the long run if not taken into account. Discipline should begin on these two aspects for us to be a responsible gambler.

This is for me the most important discipline that gamblers should take up, I'm guilty of this and I regret it because I lose a lot of money by not disciplining myself on how to manage my finances and bankroll.
Financial management, and properly managing your bankroll are two of the most important things that gamblers should learn if they don't want to suffer from addiction.
This is not an easy task because we are always tempted to use all our bankroll or add more money that is beyond our allocation, this is where the majority of gamblers fail and they fail miserably because the temptation to play bet more within our capacity is just too high.
The only way we could reach proper financial and bankroll management is to limit our time and pause from time to time so we can think clearly and stop being tempted to abuse our bankroll.

Moderation is very important in everything we do. Even the Bible has enjoined us of the need to do things in moderation. In gambling, this is very important as it will go a long way in preventing the gambler from incurring an irreparable loss, maintaining control over their gambling behavior, and promoting healthy gaming practices. Setting limitations is a good financial management practice on its own and that is why, of all the factors mentioned, I think setting limits is the most important. Setting limits shows that the gambler is responsible and when a gambler is responsible, all other factors mentioned become unnecessary.

In addition, setting limits can prevent the gambler from becoming addicted. Addictive gambling can ruin the life, relationship and income of a gambler and this is why setting limits becomes so important. Simply put, in a cause-and-effect relationship, the cause will be a lack of setting limits and the effect will be gambling addiction. Thus, setting limits will prevent gambling addiction. This shows that the hallmark of responsible gambling is setting limits.

To a certain extent, I guess one's failure to control himself/herself in gambling speaks a lot about his/her character. Although it is basic to learn early on that gambling can be addictive and that once you are consumed by it you'd find it hard to let it go, people are still falling for it. It must be their attitude more than the fun in gambling that led a lot of gamblers into addiction. I myself have also been a gambler for quite a while, and while I admit that there is indeed that unique thrill in gambling, I haven't really been dragged into addiction.

Gambling will only give you consequences if you are using it the wrong way. All factors that you mention is really true on why people always have a problem on gambling which they can avoid if they use it the way it was intended.


This is really the key to become responsible gambler yet it’s always easy to say than done because you are still the one who will decide on how you will move forward in case you hit some wall in gambling. Your limitation that you set is easy to break if you are already high in gambling cravings since you knew that you can break it anytime that you want. I think this limitation rule can only work if there’s other person involved that will monitor you.

Others might do this by there own but most of the gamblers is not capable doing it that’s why many become addicted.

Of the five points suggested above, I think I would prefer numbers 1 and 3 regarding the application of limits and financial management, I am with these two things alone you should be able to become a responsible gambler and avoid the name of addiction. However, management is a very important tool in any case, not only in gambling involvement but also in other matters in real life because with management, you will be able to achieve a good balance point, especially in terms of finance.

The other thing is "limits" this is no less important, one of the reasons why the above two things are very important to do and apply to gambling because however in gambling there is absolutely no element of certainty that can guarantee victory, Therefore I think everyone will agree that there is no better way to keep us in the gambling activity to avoid addiction than to always manage your finances such as dividing a small budget for this activity along with applying losing and winning limits, not only this but you also must not ignore the concept of gambling actually, we must understand what gambling really is because this will be able to better help us to become responsible gamblers and avoid addiction.

Ignoring these can lead to a whole bunch of problems for gamblers. When they don't set limits or control themselves, it's like a ticking time bomb. Learning to gamble responsibly is important because once it turns into an addiction, it's hard to get back to normal life. It's all about avoiding those pitfalls early on for a better gaming experience and every info is available online

When we take a gamble or place a bet, it's as if we're experiencing an incredible surge of adrenaline, giving us a certain feeling that can greatly impact our emotions. If we don't have a firm grip on our emotions or find ourselves losing control, this can heavily influence us to make irrational decisions when it comes to betting. At times, it even causes us to momentarily overlook the rules and limitations that we had set for ourselves beforehand.

That's the reason why it is crucial to exercise restraint and manage your emotions when gambling or placing bets. In situations where you find yourself lacking self-control and struggling with your emotions, but still have the desire to continue gambling, I would recommend seeking assistance from a trusted friend or loved one who can join you in your gaming endeavors. Having someone by your side can serve as a constant reminder to snap out of any detrimental behavior that may arise.

1 & 3 are basically the same imo, they don't differ much since there's not much to manage when it comes to money used in gambling. It's just mostly setting a limit based on your monthly income. Honestly, that's all you'd ever really need to be "responsible" really. The rest is just, well, stuff you'd have to handle if you want a seemingly smooth experience when gambling. 2 and 5 can mostly be about understanding the casino and finding the best one you think personally can serve you the best, and 4 is well, mostly a joke since people can't seem to follow it through whenever they want to self-exclude. They complain why the casino allowed them to cancel their self-exclusion when they requested it themselves lol.

All the things mentioned by @OP are what many gamblers often ignore, so they start having problem after problem when playing their gambling. They cannot control themselves while gambling and also have no limits, and it is only a matter of time for them to get other problems.

They don't want to learn or have all these things; they will only encounter problems, and in the end, they will become gambling addicts. When they become gambling addicts, it will be difficult for them to return to normal again because all they can think about is gambling.

In my opinion, the first thing a person should do is think about what they want when they play. If you are looking for profit then how much money are you willing to lose vs how much money are you willing to gain. In other words, this can be summed up in a single word, which is “planning”. Having a good plan is of great importance, because a person with good planning can look at himself, know how much free time he has each month, how much money he earns per month and how much money he spends to pay all his bills, and how much money he has available for fun each month. When talking about fun, many people think that only gambling is the only option for people to have fun. when this is very far from being true

Because many people only focus on gambling to have fun, they end up forgetting that there is life in the real world, they start acting as if the world is just gambling. they get to the point that when they eat they are thinking about gambling, when they are at work they are also thinking about gambling. When they are talking to other people, they are thinking about gambling. while people who have good planning are able to manage the money they have well and are able to be successful in life even when playing in casinos. because they are people with responsibility. They know that every month, after paying bills, they set aside the money allocated

with every fun thing they will do in a month, with lots of things for them to have fun, they don't think about gambling all the time. On the contrary, they gamble little, lose money at the casino and go have fun with other things and remain very happy, and that is what everyone should do. Don't think that the world doesn't have other things people can do. why have. Games are for people to have fun in conjunction with other things that people should do to have fun. I have seen in my country, when people are playing games it always ends in fights, I wonder why they keep playing if in the end they are going to fight and get injured

3. Financial Management

This would be  the most or something that would really be crucial if we do speak about dealing up with gambling on which we know that this is where people do usually mess up
on the time that you would really be lost off track when it comes to spending or simply with financial aspects on which you would really be that ending up on having that kind of
probability on messing up yourself entirely when it comes into your life. We do know that this isnt something that we could really be able to make out those kind of
adjustments accordingly on the time that we do gamble.

If you do find yourself that having not mindful about your actions then most likely you would really be ending up on having that kind of chance on messing
up your life entirely if you wont really be that careful.

These are good stuff, op.

But the hard part is you have to stick with them to eventually incorporate them in your habits and some people may struggle with this. If that's the case, I would recommend setting up a reward system that works for you everytime you do your part of the month/day.

There are also many apps that help you track your habits. I would recommend loop habit tracker for starters, see: https://loophabits.org/
