Topic: "The Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines" Is this a joke? (Read 1130 times)

When we follow a healthy lifestyle, it gives us a good mindset and removes any forms of negativities which can be caused by inappropriate gambling. It is only hard though because it also requires a self discipline so don't say that it's easy to heal this way but it's worth it because let's admit it, its always better to live happily even if we sacrifice something which isn't really beneficial to us in the long run like gambling (if only we missed used it).

Other than eating well and then exercising, I think sleeping is the most important of all because this is where recover and grow. Lastly, unwinding by taking a vacation can also do wonders. This is better if enjoyed with family, friends and relatives.

58 would be pretty low for that level income but its hard to say any general rule for all people.   Alot will depend if you have a family to support also but generally the rate of outgoings you have pre existing to your decision to gamble.     I would just say take care of all bills, decide on an amount for the month is a good decision and then stick to it. Ideally in Bitcoin you dont extend your amount spent just spend the crypto you have already made available, thats an ideal wall between money you can spend and bills you have to pay without delay.

Of course my friend, you are also a Chess player so I have come across you in those threads, and chess makes you think more clearly and the best responses to events that have to react quite quickly, it is as an additional advantage that makes him develop in chess, everything that is partly healthy is good, eating, sleeping, even having a partner is something that is needed, the family, all of that is imperative that we as being huamnos we have, it is also necessary that once in a while a beer does not go down badly, everything in good and sane mind, the body needs all this, a trip, beach, all this makes all addictions go away.

Good point of view! I am grateful to God that I live in a not too big city near the sea and have the opportunity to walk along the coast without wasting much time, distracting from ordinary life and putting my thoughts in order. But not everyone is so lucky and I think with regret about the residents of big cities who spend a lot of time on the way to work and back and do not have the opportunity to escape from this industrial hell on weekdays. Undoubtedly, they accumulate stress and one way or another become subject to either alcohol addiction, or gambling or some other - largely due to the conditions of life.

agree here
connecting with nature helps a lot
we have a natural mechanism to heal from most minor diseases (and maybe the big ones too!)
but our lifestyle nowadays is too disconnected from what we are built to be.

machines, gambling and technology are cool things
but they can make us sick if we aren't careful

Yes, that is what is always done trying to lead what we call a healthy life, and it is easy to heal in this way, above all by sleeping well, because3 sometimes it is like they say where I live, "Living is in the dromir " So these are things that should be given, also one way is to share with the family, go out, those who have the beach nearby is also a very good way to clear the mind, go out and walk in the mountains, see that the environment sometimes can offer you other options to move forward, sometimes a good clean oxygen is very good, really clean air is the best of all therapies that may exist and that any psychologist.

bringing a counterpoint here
but what if the best way to navigate in chaos is not strict self-control but the opposite: surrender.

I totally agree that assessing your state during the chaotic activity (like asking yourself how you feel) will help to navigate

Control and flow are somehow opposites, but not at all times.

Most times we jump into paying so much attention to how some random online user says about gambling habits neglecting the facts this users could be posting for the sake of content and not actual facts. A real gambler understands the pressure of dealing with how to manage gambling activities, I think the best guideline is self control and discipline not the whole lengthy article that looks like a law

Player self-control is very important.  Gambling is the territory of chaos.  Chaos requires strict self-control. 

To do this, you need to periodically break away from the game and ask yourself questions.  For example, how adequate am I now? 

You can measure your pulse.  A rapid pulse indicates that the person is in an altered state.  In this state, he is able to perform not very adequate actions.  Including trying to win back after losing a game of chance. 

In an altered state, a person is able to continue the game after a big win.  This is a very stupid act.

Well yes, they can be taken like this knowing that we here have some experience in games, but there are many newbies and they want to do things well, so these guidelines are ideal for them, that helps them to have more control, not to fall into addiction and something that can be taken into account is that by following these rules they can forge a very good discipline so that they can carry out a good plan when playing, of course this is something that I think due to the guidelines found, some are very nice, but for example I am a player who already has his own rules, if I self-impose rules that I don't like, well I won't accept them at all, then I'll start making mixes and I don't like it.

facts!
sometimes I think if this is good or bad for the world in a karma point of view (or a moral point of view if you please)

it's interesting to notice that being able to control yourself doesn't have a huge relation with economic status either (or does it?), we see both poor and rich people who are able to manage risk and many who aren't

And this is why gambling business is really that profitable due to that very common reason which people cant really control their emotion most of the time and this is what make things even more worst.
People do forget on setting out their limits and as long they do have money to spent then they would definitely be doing that.Minimizing risk as much as possible because we cant really just spend up
huge money or amounts on gambling.Everything should be having limitation since we arent that millionaires or billionaires who do have lots of money to be spent.
If you are just an average wage earner or something that into this category then its really wise on having these considerations.

I understand what you're talking about @LUCKMCFLY and it happened to me in the past too
one thing that helps me is writing, it removes a bit the burden of thinking too much and helps me to understand my thought process

trying to balance other areas of life too with healthy habits helps a lot as wel (sleep + eat well + exercise goes a long way!)

It's like that friend, for now we can talk, but it has happened to me that sometimes when I play that mental control sometimes it is very easy for it to fade even for a few seconds, and the emptions are something that is difficult, very difficult to handle.

I have seen how many friends get carried away by emotions, but especially in sports betting, with football matches that they know they are going to lose and still they bet them, they do not mind losing, and no matter how much you tell them they are going to lose money, at that moment they don't take it into account, they just do it and start drinking beer, I think it's a way to be able to forget if they lose.



It is always good to take things in a good mood, but we cannot deny that if there are some guidelines that can help some players so that they do not fall into the problem of addiction, the important thing about all this is that it can be avoided at all costs. coast, there are many ways but if people continue like this it may be one or two guidelines but that they help you not to fall into addiction I think it is something welcome, many people wish they had never broken the rules so as not to have fallen into what they did, but still So I think it's never too late to start doing things right, there are some guidelines that I like, but I already have my own established rules, it's difficult to adapt to others.

When I was starting in this world of betting, and of the games, I always got carried away by emotions, and it is difficult not to get carried away, but this made me lose a lot of money, and that is something that I do not like very much, so I started to play with more control and control is in not getting carried away when there are big bets, you have to have the situation under control and when you feel that you have to withdraw even if you are losing, you have to do it, because it is preferable to do something like that and come back again than losing everything and running out of capital, it is very difficult to control yourself and leave the game when you think you will win.

probably it has a lot to do with people's skill on resisting urges and on neurotransmitter balance
dopamine can be a hell of a drug and people could get addicted to gambling

sad but it's true.

I agree with you. I can't even imagine how those guidelines will be properly followed exactly as it is stated. Actually, if those will be followed then it will really give us the lower risk of losing but there's no fun on doing that. Better for me to force myself to stopped gambling rather than following those guidelines.

Anyways, I found that guidelines as a humor. We should not take it seriously.

Don't get too serious on the guidelines, many of us here already considered that as a joke due to the same reason you stated.  I believe the one who propose  that idea has little to no experience of gambling stuff.  The article openly disregards the thoughts and actual experience of gambling thus creating those ridiculous guidelines.  Or probably the author creates those for the sake of just creating a guideline without giving any consideration to fairness and balance with the gambling industry.

You cant do this because you don't have plans to stop gambling and that is because you think gambling can do more good to you than harm like it can make you relax and loosen up the stress that builds up in your body from the whole day of working. We know what works best for ourselves. Maybe some have tried allocating 1% as their gambling budget and they feel contented but for you, you think this isn't enough and you are gradually adding more. This is not wrong either as long this doesn't exceed on our limits.

We work to earn extra because our main income is not enough therefore we won't use it for gambling purposes.

I absolutely agree with your point of view. It is unlikely that 1% is enough to enjoy gambling to the fullest. My annual earnings are lower than in the article given by Eldar, but I allow myself to spend $100-200 a month on gambling and that is assuming that I try to limit myself so that I do not have problems with addiction to gambling. I have a feeling that the author of this article is not well acquainted with gambling if he suggests spending only 1% of my income on gambling.

This is just a guide because, in reality, we have to adjust it with our money so that everything can run well and does not interfere with our finances and we can allocate our income properly. Maybe 1% of our income can be allocated to gambling but some people use less than 1% to gamble because they prioritize their household over gambling. We must be realistic by not using more money to gamble because household needs can change monthly. We should also have a reserve of money in case we are in an urgent situation.
