Topic: "The Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines" Is this a joke? - page 5. (Read 1173 times)

And yet, there is some truth in every joke, and the above "strategy" or better to say a recommendation, seems to me worthy of acceptance, because using 1% of your family's monthly income for gambling can really get rid of a lot of problems and have a little fun without prejudice to everyone.

when you do this type of article or give this type of advice I believe that even the guy who writes this doesn't believe anything he's writing so let's see:

1 - everyone takes the money they earn and has fun with things like:

- buy drinks, watch shows, watch games, travel, will people take 1% of their income to have fun? The answer is simple: NO. people take much more than 1% to have fun, I'll give an example from my country for example, in my country a plane ticket costs 200$ and the lowest price + paying a tourist instance for 2 days would be 450$. .. with that the person would have fun for 2 days every month. So how much salary does this person earn? in most cases it is not even more than 800$. so what if that person took the 450$ and played? would be wrong? NOT!

2 - what is happening is that most people are forgetting that gambling is a form of entertainment like anything else, people are demonizing gambling, being cynical with 1% strategies, 10% expensive if all follow this bullshit who would be a vip member in casinos? how the hell would casinos pay for signature campaign if everyone was playing with less than 50$? every person is entitled to take as much money as he wants and play and have fun. there are people who spend 500$ just to put new parts in their car and go to races and every month they do that, but if that same person takes 500$ and goes to play in a casino he will be criticized with the false moralists.

3 - they keep talking about addiction, honestly since when does playing with little money stop someone from becoming addicted? even without playing with money people become addicted.

Not everyone has this kind of thinking. There are many people who have children and wives they have to take care of, but are left behind for gambling. I often see this where I live. In fact, I also have children, few months ago I used my money for gambling and didn't think about this, because at that time I lost quite a lot and wanted to get a win to replace what I had lost, just made me lossing more. This is a commons case. One thing that has been a lesson for me is that it is effort to control money we are playing have an important role.

You either make good money or you are not responsible for other people (wife and children) - most likely you are still young and do not have children of your own, because if you had them, you would find a more rational use for money than gambling. In my opinion spending 20% of your income on gambling is simply irresponsible. Just consider how much you could earn by investing that money wisely.

It would be better for him to be active on the casino chat to eligible for rain distribution lol since $2 to gamble is really doesn't enough. I think 5%-10% is still make sense, just take it as a self achievement for working in a month full. The thing is as long as they're gamble just for fun and not only looking to chase winning in every month, they're okay. I even use 20% of my income to gamble, but I don't get any problem until now.

yes, in the end it all comes down to emotional control again
those with more emotional control will probably be able to manage their money in a better way, therefore managing risk and don't risking more than what they can afford to lose.

I Think 1% of household income use for gambling is too low . if one person household income is  $200 by doing any kind of job. if he/she want to use 1% of his money for gambling then it will $2 . how can that person can gamble with $2 he he. i think if someone really want to test gambling then he/she should use atleast 5% of his household income

That's a big joke 1% of the household income for those who treat gambling as a source of entertainment will not just spend 1% of their household income, some who considered themselves lower risk spend anywhere from 5 to 15% because you don't restrict your budget on entertainment and recreation if you are in a very lower income bracket and you have a big family that 1% is possible but I can not consider 1% and playing 4 times a week as average for lower risk gambler, lower risk if you are playing within your means and you are the one who will allocate it.

I absolutely agree with you. Each of us spends different amounts on entertainment. Some have no obligations and can feel quite normal after spending 25-50% of their salary on entertainment, and some have a family of several people and loans. Clearly he can't spend that kind of money without harming the family budget. Therefore, the purpose of this guide is to teach gamblers to observe risk management and not to spend money that is meant for other things.

If they aren't really interested then they better not play at all because it's like they are only wasting a money for nothing. Gambling is best to enjoy if you have a real passion for it. You can dedicate enough time/money and by this, you won't mind it hard whenever you are losing.

I think there are gamblers who are losing big which are above their limits already but it's surprising that they are still calm. That's the only best thing that they can do anyway because beating their selves up will lead to unwanted things.

If your goal is to get entertained then yes but if your goal is only to profit then I think this was still qualified? I already experience to win something big only in 1 to 2 rolls but it can be rare though. Most of the times I go for 15+ rolls to have a better chance to win.

It's just a guide that can help us determine how much we should use in gambling and how many days of the week we will gamble. If we stick to that rule, there is a possibility that we can reduce our activities in playing gambling but it will all come back to us because, in this case, discipline will play an important role in not violating the rules that we have set. The rule can only work if we always try to limit ourselves so as not to get out of what we have created. In addition, trying to do as we have planned may help us a lot during gambling.

Yes, I think the guidelines are set out in a very conservative way. If people followed them, we wouldn't see the problems people report in forum threads.

The good thing about the guidelines is that if you follow them you won't have any major financial problems due to gambling. The bad thing is that they are unrealistic, and practically nobody bets so little in relation to their income.

The other option I see would be to build your bankroll little by little and bet in relation to your bankroll, not your income.

I don't think this is possible, the one who can follow this is not really interested in playing in a casino or can enjoy playing in a casino, you can be in safe risk as long as you are comfortable with your losses, entertainment has a price, you watch a movie, go to a concert it has a price and its not about percentage, they spend based on what they can afford because they like to be entertained, you can't enjoy where you can only do 3 to 5 rolls.

the "guide" shows how little money you can gamble without possibly hurting your finances. anyway, I feel like the whole point of it is to eventually discourage people to gamble because the guide makes gambling sounds like a boring thing to do especially when they mention how many days you should only gamble per month, how many types of games you should only play and how little funds you can use to gamble.

Actually it’s look like a joke,but it’s not a joke.The usage of 1 percentage of gambling is not affected your house expenditure,but you can do use of it to earn additional income.People with more gambling knowledge always prepared this way of the investment.This is not a compulsory one for all the people,it’s additional tactics to earn some income by make use of your income.If you want to trade of partial income with the crypto currency,it’s also a good way of earning.But people with gambling knowledge use it for earning income.

It is indeed for billionaires or millionaires but we do really believe that they wouldnt really be just spending 1% of their monthly income whenever they do tend to gambling.It is really that very common that majority

of gamblers will really be that spending their winnings back to the casino whenever they do make out some winning and hoping for more which is really a behavior.You would be spending 10% on your monthly income

but just been said by others that it would really be just too small if you are really that tending to spend 1% which is too small.You cant really be just satisfied with that amount honestly
and for sure that everyone would be agreeing on this one.

1% guideline is only for those who earn a billionaire's income/month. I gamble almost 15% of my monthly income, if only 1% how is it possible for me to start gambling. For me personally playing small also requires a large enough capital to be able to play again, besides that I gamble in almost every game slots dice sportsbooks etc. Trying my luck but not always lucky ,and if already won I personally always want to play, as a result my amount of win returns to the casino cashier again . But for those who gamble on only one game like a sportsbook, possibility that's a guide is perfect.

Well this helps if you are addicted and want to slowly cut it. Sooner or later you will feel not to gamble at all because it's getting close to that. For the starters, I think gambling like this can prevent them from being an addict later on. If you think you can fully control your self then feel free to set up your own limits because you think this was too low for you and won't give you contentment or satisfaction.

Gambling is only a term but you should include if what makes you enjoy it. Is it gambling for the money? Or gambling for the entertainment? If it's for the entertainment then yes, both losing and winning can maximize that fun feeling you are getting.

Only if you lose all the time. There are people who can make that $58 into 100 in a single bet and then it's no longer "I won't even last an hour". Maybe your experience is that you start the game on auto, set it to 1 USD and 30 min later you're at 0, but some people can really make money gambling.

I have a friend who bet on some football last week and made $400 from 80. He often wins some money this way. 1% is a safe bet if you want to be completely fine with losing it. Some people can't deal with a loss but all of us can handle 1%

Either this guide was written for those experiencing gambling for the first time or the author of this guide is someone who does not know much about gambling or when gambles she/he is extremly conservative with their money.

There was a time here in my country when we were going to a pretty back economical time and (as absurd as this may sound) gambling became very popular during those days. There were households that survived with less than 100$/month and yet people gambled 5$-50$ every now a then. These were games specifically targeted to the common people nothing fancy.

Considering I saw this period of time makes this article to sound quite more unrealistic from my point of view.
