Topic: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? - page 12. (Read 1943 times)

Well, it is recommended not to think that when a person is sick, has stress or something like that, because they could lose money, but if it is a person like me, for example, when he feels stressed with a lot of pressure, the best thing I do to relax is play. slot, but I have a very different vision of slots because in the first instance I'm not looking to win, what I'm looking for with slots is to have fun and have a different time, where I forget the system I'm in, it's something like When you go to the football stadium to see your team, well it's something like that, but of course what I do is have money to lose completely, for example, I always go with 10usd to risk, I have everything for it, if I win with Well, that money seems great to me, but if not, I won't go any further and I've already consumed my 10usd, so everything's fine, nothing happens and I'm looking for something else, but at least if I lose, it's just the best impression that mnw wakes up, I I de-stressed, so I see it like this.

If we start looking for other ways of having fun, I can't find another one, maybe watching movies or something like that, but for the rest I don't see it and of course depending on the time, because it's not cool when we're in the middle of the slots action and then I have That buying money has run out of money, but it can happen very quickly, because sometimes we concentrate so much on the slots, that the same system makes us lose, so this is something normal, and it can be done so that we have all the information. better intention of having fun, because you have to confirm something, that things with a casino are for that, to have fun first and to have a different time, with which you can lose, you can win, you can spend pmoemtnos where basically our body experiences the total adrenaline and There may be a great desire to continue having a good time, and when we are like this, we do not want to stop but rather continue, that is more or more just what people feel when playing in a casino.

The main problem in gambling is when we lose a lot of money because of gambling. So in my opinion there are several things that need to be added and avoided when gambling

1. Don't chase losses ~ Often this will result in more money being spent on gambling

2. Don't gamble when your emotions are unstable ~ Often conditions like this will make us chase losses and end up spending more money

3. Make a percentage of your monthly salary in gambling ~ Use only a little of your money, not too much because later you will be stressed if you spend your entire monthly salary

4. Don't gamble while drunk~ This will make us not focus on playing

5. Luck doesn't come every day ~ we have to accept when we lose and don't chase those losses

While others include as follows;
3) Do not make your gambling life public: that is not everybody is expected to know that you gamble, because you never can tell, different people has different perception of someone who gambles, and it's something you just can't change, but accept it that way.

4) Do not underestimate the power of cash-out: And by this I mean gambling made on sport betting to be precise (i.e soccer, Basketball & e.t.c), whereby if you may have gambled on multiple bet and 9 games out of 10 have already played as predicted, it's better you just cash-out if you have been given a reasonable amount, rather than waiting for the last game, which you are not sure if it will play as predicted or cut your entire game. Because this has made many persons commit suicide after losing a game because of cut-1.

Yes, you are actually correct. I have heard of situations where someone (a gambler) says that they become more active and alert after they take some alcohol, and that's when they can do something very well. I kind of believe that it's true, but not for every occasion. Like in gambling, if your mindset is not stable, it's going to lead to making some kind of mistake that will either result in more losses. The person can either get emotional because they are losing their bet or they might want to chase their losses, which can contribute to more losses.

This is just the simple fact that most people don't understand. Gambling is never never a place to get rich. I have never seen successful gambler all my life, instead what I have seen are successful addicts who loose everything to gambling. Until people realize that your only to play gamble for fun and not to get rich, the casino owners will keep cashing out billions of dollars. Many people believe that gambling is their only way out of poverty, but indirectly there are continuously going to remain poor because of gambling that is eating up their savings.   

I would like to add something I would personally not do:
It is not advisable to multitask while gambling and also it would not be good to gamble while one is specially tired.
Both are states of the mind which could easily make us commit a mistake on the management of our money and turn a winning streak into a losing session, regardless of the game we are playing.
Besides, if we start from the fact gambling is supposed to be for the sole entertainment of the gambler, then would not make sense for us to stay focused on the fun instead trying to stay away or doing different things while we roll dices or spin slots.??

If I had the chance to travel to Las Vegas casinos, you would not see me multitasking or running my own fun by nodding off on the slot machine.
Just my two sats.

But most people will think that they can make money like the streamer they watch, so that will make them even more eager to chase their winnings. They shouldn't do it because they and the streamers are clearly different. They don't have a lot of money like those streamers, and they only have a small amount of money that they allocate every week or month for gambling. They should be able to manage their gambling time and also regulate the amount of money they can use to gamble so that their losses will not be too big because at least they can control the amount of their losses. We have to remember this so that we don't gamble excessively like those people because we care about the money we have, and we want to avoid experiencing more losses.

there is still a lot more about what you should really avoid when gambling and if we talked about everything it would probably be so much and written so long.

and from all this discussion the conclusion is that it is enough to understand how gambling works and always remember that gambling is just entertainment. maybe I am almost bored of saying this but the fact is that everything that is discussed about self control and commitment all starts from the mindset of each gambler and if a gambler has a healthy mindset there will be no bad effects such as addiction. but unfortunately this little thing is often ignored by most gamblers so maybe I will never get bored of always saying remember that gambling is provided only for fun and not to double money. winnings are just a bonus of pleasure that you pay with the small amount you have.

It's the best for someone to realize the money he set for gambling will completely lose, so there's no regret when he didn't make any money after gamble. People always think they can make money since they watch their favorite streamer is keep making money, they just don't know what the agreement between the streamer and the casino.

Dude, isn't the OP asking for things that those who have gambled have experienced, that need to be avoided.

What I said is my experience, not yours, of course you don't agree, you can be sure that my experience of gambling with me is 100% different.

I have done these two factors, but I ended up unlucky, the point is: I am not suggesting that you should believe that, you gamble as you like and based on your beliefs, Likewise, I gamble based on my beliefs and experiences, you just give your opinions and experiences to the OP, so that he can consider what is good and bad for him to avoid.

I have learned that you cant earn all the money in the world and that can be easy used as a suggestion to avoid while gambling. You cant win all the casino money. History has exceptions, but they only spoil 100% statistics of people vs casino. No matter how lucky you are, how skilled and how much money you have - you can never beat casino. Luck ends one day. Always know when to stop and set limits.

I somehow disagree with these two reasons. As for the first one, if a gambler is a high roller, this should not apply and if someone is gambling within his budget with this large amount of money, then it shouldn't be any issue as long he know the risks of him gambling that amount. The same goes for the second reason, it's really common to encounter multiple consecutive loses but then again, if it's within your bankroll or budget then it's still not an issue continuing gambling but still never try to chase those loses and not go overboard with your budget.

I would like to agree with your this point. Gambling should be always taken as an entertainment purpose, I think those who are addicted to it those public will only try to gamble while working. Although many times it depends on how the workplace is, if there is free time at the workplace and then if there is a game of my favorite sports, then I would like to catch a light betting at the workplace as well. But I agree that gambling in the workplace is unethical.

In this case when a person wanna go for gamble he should always remind in mind that gambling amount should be always as much as the person can afford to loose there gambling by taking loan is another level of stupidity. Yes that will be also life threatening "I have saw from my own eyes that one my batch mate who play gambling in offline And he was so addicted to gambling that he repeatedly lost and took out loans and then gambled again. Towards the end he committed sui_cide due to mental pressure for the high debt.

You need to consider several things that should be avoided before engaging in gambling activities, in my opinion.
* Never try to gamble large amounts, in one game, if you do so the risk of losing is greater.
* You need to consider that when you lose repeatedly when gambling, never repeat betting again that day, the risk of loss follows you.
* When you are depressed, stressed, bored, sad and in trouble, don't gamble, the problem you are facing is gambling is not a choice, you could experience twice the problems, if you do it.

That's what you can consider and avoid when gambling, maybe something else has been said by other friends in this thread.

I agree with this, because companies pay us to work not to play gambling, because in my opinion if there are people who gamble in the work environment (working hours) maybe they want trouble to come. Because I don't think there are companies that allow other activities during working hours, let alone gambling which will have a bad impact on the person playing it or the work that will be affected as well. As much as possible, even gambling addicts should be able to see the situation to gamble not to play in their workplace which is clear they have responsibilities there.

Many people who gamble and experience defeat when gambling, and they have lost a lot of money when gambling, of course, if they are addicted to gambling when they run out of capital to gamble, they will do anything to be able to return to gambling, so bad that they are desperate to commit a crime. But many addicts also make loans here and there to do gambling again because all they think about is the victory that will be obtained even though it is not certain. And there are also many people who make loans like this to do gambling, there are also those who sell their belongings to fulfill their desire to gamble,
not only those two points. So there are still many points that must be avoided when gambling.

One thing a gambler must avoid or one must avoid while gambling is debt.If you are in the habbit of taking debt,life will be very hard for you because gambling can never give you guarantee that you will win,so why put pressure on yourself when you know quite well that there is no assurance that you will win a game and pay back.The best thing one can ever do is to play within your means and avoid being indebt to avoid embarrassment.
Gamblers who are addicted to gambling,and are also in a life of borrowing money,there is every tendency that he or she won't be living a life of freedom.Having peace of mind Despite being an addict to gambling will safe your mental health.

Gambling during working hours is indeed unethical and strictly prohibited. It may affects your productivity and attitude towards your work. There's a sanction once your employer know that you're doing it, grave offense and can lead to termination as well. So it's better to have a time management on yourself and must do gambling if you're having a spare time just like your rest days and leaves. On the 2nd part, I think that's obvious to know that it's not okay to borrow a money just for gambling because it may lead you to huge debt and bankruptcy. Most people who takes loan just for gambling are suffering in a gambling addiction.

Gambling at work seems to be unprofessional conduct on the part of the worker because it is a distraction and deprives one of their man-hours labour and inputs for which they are being paid for. It makes one counter productive and less focused possibly when one plays at work and runs at loss. That is why some organisations do put it up on their terms and conditions of services for their employers to see and they do take drastic measures when ever an employee is caught in the act.
Lastly, no reasonable person would go for a loan just to play games which they are not sure of winning as gambling is mostly played for fun. So if one must gamble, one must gamble with a little amount they can afford to lose so as not to get bothered when of it goes sour.

This 100% correct and also the most hardest part to do in gambling since it’s very hard to control emotion when losing money badly in a game no matter how cool you are when you start the game.

I’m always cool when playing but there are some times that I can’t stop being tilted especially when I’m just started but I never hit a single won on all my games that makes me question the authenticity of the game. It’s not usual to happened but there’s always a time that my human nature of being tilted is always there when the situation is really rough for me.

actually I worked in Government and we are allow to use those tools but limited time only , we are also cannot access some sites that
has security issues but those are the days , when I resigned and now are allowed to do whatever I want as long as I am following the rules

and also even if we are allowed yet we must not gamble when we are at work because that will end badly for sure .

and that will end your life in good way , if you can borrow money to gamble then you will afford losing everything just because of this.

always remember that having a debt is truly a bad attitude so what more if you are doing this for gambling?
that shows how desperate your life is.
