Topic: Sympathetic gamblers looses itself - page 3. (Read 1261 times)

That is a very wrong way to see things. And funny enough that is how some gamblers approaches the matter. Do will not consider how much they earn and how much the person they are looking upto earns. There speedy conclusion is always, he is my fellow man, he has lost $2k and still alive, is it this $200 that I lost that will kill me. They will not even consider of the person they are looking upto earns much more higher than they do. They will also not consider if the person has recently won big and decided to return some portion of their winnings to the casino.

If is high time we stopped comparing ourselves to others and focus on ourselves and our budget and take gambling as fun. Emotions differs and the mind to bear losses differ too. Someone who earns $100 daily can be able to lose $10k and still remain strong while someone that earns $200 daily will be devastated if he loses $2k

People or gamblers who say they gamble just for entertainment and then become frustrated after losing and chasing their losses are big liars because someone who gambles just for fun would never become frustrated after losing or chasing their losses. After all, only a gambler to earn money from gambling will have these things in them and people who gamble just for fun and entertainment barely have such feelings or act this way at all.

If I were to gamble only to entertain myself, have some fun, and enjoy my time when I have some, I would never feel bad if I lost as long as I got entertained and enjoyed the time I spent in the casino. But, if I'm gambling to earn money, and my only aim is to gain more money with my money, I will surely get frustrated or angry after I lose, and I will chase my losses as well.

This feeling of sympathy is only feeling that might occur to those gamblers who have not really become crazy addicts because when there are gambling addicts who are really crazy, let alone feelings of sympathy, there will be no thoughts of helping either.
Only the gambler himself can change it and only the gambler himself must care about the problems he experiences due to losses and bad impacts and it is not other people who feel it but himself, sometimes people don't think about it this way.
Gambling addiction is very serious problem and even now there is no truly effective way to cure it and perhaps there are many ways that have been suggested by most people, including myself but that is no guarantee.
But in my opinion, the most effective way to control gambling addiction is when gambling addict has lost all the valuable things he has as result of gambling, this will cause regret and disappointment until he finally decides to reduce the intensity of his gambling.
Bad experiences are the greatest teacher for someone to change for the better, it doesn't matter if he feels deep regret, it doesn't matter if he loses all his money and wealth, but after that he comes to his senses and tries to recover like normal person.
Indeed, prevention is better than cure, but gambler who is truly addicted will not be able to do it, what they need is an event that can stress their mental state and mind so they can recover quickly.

In the case that these things happen, it is because we have seen that there are many ways to manage money, so it is always better to consider what we are willing to lose in money, if in any of the cases we make a possible balance to lose, Suppose you have 100usd to lose in a single game session, that's perfect, it seems excellent to me, because later if in the final case of losing you have to assume what was lost and now, if we deposit after that we are doing everything wrong, we are breaking our own rules, and that is what problems are generated, I have always seen that when a person breaks their own rules everything goes wrong, and that is something that we must avoid because if we break our own rules, as we can do? Well, losing more money, and that is what should be avoided, we in the game must be intelligent, not get carried away by emotions and be beaten.

In a casino, as in everything in life, consider that you have to have an order for everything, because every time we do an activity the only way for everything to turn out well is that there is an order but there is nothing else, I believe that many people when they enter a casino have plans that are not close to reality, they think a lot about what they can win but not what they can lose, and that is something that we must always consider, because it is stepping on land, it is not build castles in the air and not get excited about anything, then you have to see things for the reality of what they imply, and as I have said on many occasions, the most important thing and what must be taken care of is money, without money we cannot do nothing, for that reason we must always do the best for ourselves, take care of the money, allocate the money that we are willing to lose and always play seeking to win without losing control, not putting in extra money so as not to get into trouble, it is very ugly to be left without money and less than money that we already have committed.

Even the concept of a budget is foreign to most people since they do not save any money at all from their monthly pay, it is because this is so common that governments eventually created their pension systems as otherwise most people will literally have to work all their lives.

However a person that used a budget and stick to it will soon find themselves with a nice amount of savings, which can later be used to invest and increase their wealth.

If we cannot control our emotions when gambling, of course the gambling we play will end very quickly because if we play in an emotional state, of course we will be very greedy in hunting for the winnings we want, of course this is not very good for us and also our financial condition. we have.
It would be better in the gambling that we play that we can control ourselves and don't just hunt for victory so that we can't control ourselves when playing the game so that the money we have is used up for gambling.

Everyone who gambles has a budget or limit to his expenses on gambling, once you breakout of that threshold, it becomes a problem.
The challenge is that loads of people have no idea that they have a budget, simply because you have $1000 in your bank account doesn't mean that the allowable amount for gambling is $1000. The ignorance of this simple knowledge has been the bedrock of the whole concept behind irresponsible gambling graduated into bankruptcy

I previously said that if you overdo something without being able to control it, it will usually have a bad impact, such as when you gamble you have to use emotions and those emotions are too much, in the end you can't control them and you get bad effects from the excess. but in this concept it seems that it is not an emotion that is needed to gamble but a sense of self confidence that is needed by gamblers but if that self confidence is excessive it also ends in bad things such as when you place a bet and a losing streak drains your budget but you still have a sense of trust. big self that you can win after a losing streak and make a deposit several times losing, ignoring the bad impact of spending all your savings just following your own overconfident thoughts.
so it's not emotion that a bettor needs but only self confidence but not something excessive.

losses are bound to happen and as a gambler you have to understand this because 90% of what is related to gambling only benefits the casino owner because this business was built to make a profit for the casino owner and only provides a place to facilitate gamblers to have fun. so losing is a natural thing that must be accepted by gamblers.
and in this case it is not just a fear of losing oneself but also a fear of addiction because of losing control of one's mind and this thought should really be paid attention to by gamblers so that they can continue to gamble safely.

When you gamble more than you can afford to lose, what did you expect to happen when you lose, there is no way happiness will reside around you when if you lose but when you gamble with a moderate amount that you can confidently overlook, trust me you will feel absolutely nothing if anything should happen or if you loose consecutively.

I have people that have lost the entire amount of money I have bet throughout my adventure in gambling but I think everyone is responsible for their actions, if you can wager half a million I believe you have that power shoulder the loss and if I bet $1 to a game, I believe that's the amount I can afford to lose and I don't have to compare my loss to what others have loss because I believe we haven't win the same amounts.


If you go bankrupt gambling, you should have yourself to be blame, I don't think I can feel for such person because it's irresponsibly of a gambler to rise from having money to live comfortably to having nothing at the end. It's always on my repeat plan, don't gamble with the amount you can't afford to lose, isn't that difficult, isn't?

A lot of gamblers do not have gambling budget, they gamble until they are completely burnt. I consider this careless habit as addiction because it is only addiction that can keep someone hopeful even when it is obvious that day was not his day.

To enjoy gambling, one must be able to take it formally as a business and draw up budget that should be managed meticulous, employing the highest form of discipline to follow these pre-gambling decisions. You don't expect to go far in gambling when you follow it casually, gambling upon receipt of any funds.

When there is failure in planning, then all the outlined facial expressions of pains and agony are inevitable.

We need to involve emotions when doing gambling activities, because without an emotion, the betting and gambling we do will be mediocre. But when these emotions are not well controlled, then this can change our behavior when playing gambling, where we become a little careless when gambling. And when we are too ambitious to pursue victory, then what happens, our emotions will be even more uncontrollable and we will really behave carelessly, such as increasing the amount of bets crazily and making deposits without a certain amount limit. Which in the end can only lead us to a big loss.

In gambling, we should  not be afraid to get defeated. Because that's part of the risk in gambling. What we need to fear is the loss of control over ourselves when gambling. Because when we have lost control, the situation will change.

A small line separates entertainment and compulsion. It's encouraging that you recognise this difficult balance. Isn't it true that gambling should be fun, not frustrating? Stopping at the right time is an art, as you suggest. This demands a deep awareness of limitations. Self-awareness in gambling is commonly underestimated. Don't just focus on money - control the experience

The fear of financial loss can deter. But, could we perhaps reframe this approach? Instead of fear, let's talk about respect - respect for one's hard-earned money and respect for the unpredictability of gambling. Respecting these elements changes our perspective. Gamble for pleasure, not loses. It makes us more aware of our actions, right? The goal is to value amusement while being mindful of the risks. It takes experience and persistence, but it's possible

a very common condition that often occurs in any gambler when wherever he is, he says gambling is just for entertainment but always feels annoyed and frustrated chasing his losses, even almost all gamblers still make this mistake and the right way to manage this is so as not to lose self control by how to know the right time and force yourself to stop when you lose like you said.
by forcing yourself to stop when you lose, this may be a little difficult, but strengthen our minds with the fear of losing money and in this way, a gambler will definitely value his money and be afraid to continue his betting session and choose to stop betting. even though at first it is very difficult and you still have regrets, be sure that those regrets will soon disappear after a few hours and dont try to reopen the gambling situation as long as your state of mind not feel comfortable.

for me, some of these methods will work better for all gamblers, but it still all depends on each individual will and if you want to gamble healthily to avoid addiction, it would be better to do whatever other people suggest and never ignore any small things or If not, these small things can lose your self control and you can experience reckless fighting.
the last suggestion might be to always remember how gambling works and never assume this is a place to make money because money can corrupt our minds and we cannot control ourselves.

Your income determines your net worth and at your worth you determines your financial budgets including your gambling budgets.
So the reality thing here is that such emotional gamblers grows weak contradicting its tended gambling reputations after witnessing a co. gambler who has lost more than they do.
Meanwhile in the first place the gambler feels the guilts of his lost games but sudden develops the intense emotions that play, good. I thought I had the worse lost and now I have seen a gambler who just lost more than I did. At such point in time, this emotional gambler has developed some sort of false hope consolidating himself without considering of the other gambler who has lost more than him has a more better financial incomes. So basically the gambler who has lost more may not have the feelings that he has lost a dime probably his net worth is worth than what he has lost or he was only gambling for fun while the others emotional gambler could be gambling desperately focused to make profits.

I think the bad impact like that is quite natural for them to experience as a result of their actions and point of view  on gambling that is always excessive by putting hope in a place that is basically not recommendeed at all to bring a mindset to produce. Experiencing a large amount of defeat is indeed quite alarming, everyone will certainly  regret the bad luck they have to face, but that's the result. If I were around them then there might not be much I would do or even just advice I would not isssue..

Let it go because for someone who has entered the addiction zone it is very difficult to give advice, they have difficulty digesting some of the advice they get from other people based on common sense, differences in beliefs are one of the main causes. So maybe it's just a matter of time, I'm sure they will really be able to realize when they feel traumatized by the impact they receive / experience from excessive gambling. Another thing is that you must understand that the moree often you are involved in gambling, the greater the possibility of unwanted things happening, I think this understanding is specifically for those who are still not too severe in their involvement.

Why don't they take an intellectual approach to increase the probability of winning in every betting session? In accordance with what you said, that they gamble because they want to get easy and instant money. They are fixated on the end game and expect a big win. They forget to enjoy the process. Even long before analyzing, they already imagine that by betting they can get a big profit. But they forget that to get a big win, then as much as possible he must do a good analysis by taking into account everything and every possibility that will occur.

This is what makes a person reluctant to make an intellectual approach. Because they think that it is something complicated. Meanwhile, the reason they gamble or bet is so that they can get money easily and instantly, without going through a complicated process.

This is true and has been experienced by many gamblers who lose control of themselves in gambling, so they experience despair in gambling and end up losing a lot of money, especially if they chase their winnings. Those who know that there are gamblers who have lost a lot do feel sadness and sympathize with the gambler, but if the gambler doesn't try to change what he has done, people won't care anymore. They will allow gamblers who don't want to wake themselves up from their gambling addiction so that people will only look at them until the gambler asks them for help. That is why gamblers who have lost a few dollars should immediately take a break for a few days so that they can recover their emotions and relieve their tension after receiving everything they have experienced from gambling.

even occasional gamblers can easily get addicted to gambling, if they are not too careful observing their boundaries. what more with regular gamblers? this is why it is very understandable if a gambler can easily lose himself in the process while in front of their games.
but to avoid getting rekkt on this game, whether you are just occasional or regular gambler, you should always do take note before you even begin to sit down how much you can spend for every session.

to help yourself about setting-up your limits, much better to deposit only the amount that you think you can very well afford to lose for that day or for that particular session. if you lost your bankroll too fast, it doesn't mean, you need to deposit more but much better if you call it a day, and just go back when you have spare funds again.

frequent check of how you are doing with your funds as well as your emotional well-being will keep yourself at bay with your gambling habits.

You make a very valid point about the dangers of gambling while one's emotions are running high. The truth is that we are frequently fooled by the seduction of "easy money." Feeling that we are the exception rather than the rule, we dive in headfirst. But as you correctly said, frustration leads to more losses. A vicious cycle exists! To put it bluntly, no amount of ability or understanding can ensure success when gambling. How come? Since luck is a major factor, it's not merely a skill-based game. Not to mention that the house is perpetually on the brink

Why not take an intellectual approach to betting if you're truly into it? For example, sports betting is more than just choosing teams; it's also about being aware of the players, the game, and the statistics. Experienced gamblers take hours to analyze before they place a wager for a reason. But ultimately, keep in mind that it's still a gamble. Don't pursue losses; instead, set boundaries and adhere to them. It is about using a calculated approach to your betting, not just a rash one. You should immediately back off if it becomes less enjoyable

The compassionate gambler loses themselves this is right because there are many gamblers who become so addicted that they can't stop themselves knowing the harmful side of it so at some point they lose everything and live a life of despair. It is foolish to control your emotions in gambling and expect to win even if you suffer losses. Also they keep running after the victory no one can give the exact news of when the victory will be here. People with gambling addiction often overthink gambling they can constantly plan their next gambling session. Therefore if the probability of losing is high it is better to proceed with rest for a few days in which case the probability of losing gamblers will be reduced a lot.
