That's true. And that is the same rule that we have in our company. No cell phones are allowed inside the working area. Other websites are blocked especially social media sites so that we can focus on our work only. So yes, the number 1 posted by OP can easily be followed because of those rules in our job sites.

Number 2 though will not be an easy task to follow for those who made gambling their lifestyle, gambling addicts, or those who started and are already hooked on it.
Taking loans or borrowing money will be their first thought if ever they want to chase their losses, or worse they will use their savings just to satisfy their urge to play one more time. I think it will be better if we don't have access to anyone who are offering loans or we don't have a bank account or credit card so we won't have the means to do this stuff.

It's not a sure thing but alcohol can make it possible for someone to lose their life if the use is out of bounds, because there are people who are still healthy as usual despite consuming alcohol because they consume it still under the reasonable limit. But yes for the overall impact it is true that usually people use alcohol excessively so of course it is not only a bad impact on their health that they experience but also have an impact on some of the people around them including their own family it is very possible.

Likewise for gambling itself, I can't compare which is worse between the impact of gambling and alcohol and certainly both things are very detrimental, and if  there is an option to get better by avoiding such activities why not? Yes it is difficult to get used to avoiding such activities but there are still good options for those who are not too far into their gambling involvement, and I hope for those who are just coming to stay rational in looking at this gambling, not to overdo it and always use common  sense when considering, because obviously in terms of risk it is very large and one of them is like what you have said about the impact. From now on, take precautions at least to just reduce it so that you are not too late and enter the addiction.

If there is something we should avoid, it is getting into a tilt state! For people who don't know, in gambling, "tilting" means getting really upset after losing, and it can make us make bad decisions, like going all in on some crazy bets, buying bonuses with the entire balance, etc. Instead of getting too upset and making risky bets to try to win back what we lost, it's better to stay calm and take a break. I know how hard can be to do something like that, but "tilting" usually (read in most cases) ends up bad for us!

This will cause your employer to fire you, because employers don't want their employees stealing the company's time, in our company it is considered a grave offense and you will be fired right away, so if you want to continue to gamble don't lose your job and you can do this if you don't lose your job

Even in my imagination, I have never thought of taking a loan, It is double jeopardy, you can lose the loan and you will have to find a way to pay that loan, you're considered a chronic gambler if you take a loan just to gamble, better sell things that you don't need instead of taking a loan.

We have seen how gamblers didn't own their money and yet they still proceeded to gamble knowing that it was not their money. Whether it is a loan, you still don't own that unless you fully paid it so that's also part of the criteria but much worse if you don't own it and you didn't loan it and yet, you've got the guts to use that money in gambling.

As the title says, this is what everyone has to avoid because it's not going to give you a good ending when you gamble. Beginners or not, you shouldn't practice this because it is the reason why something is going to stop you from excelling or at least get to win those bets. If you ever believe in karma, if you are aggravating other people and you're the main cause, you will have the retaliation of it for sure.

Everything should be done in moderation. If you should drink alcohol then don't drink it to the extent that you lose consciousness or become disorganised. There is a need to control your drinking habit not just while gambling but at all times. This is important because, in many land-based casinos, alcoholic drinks are served. Drinking in a casino is also one of the pleasures of gambling in physical casinos. You can drink and still gamble responsibly, but the rule is that you should completely control your behaviour and money.


I want to add that you shouldn't tie your debt to gambling. Some people believe that they can win bets that will make them pay their debt. I have seen people who think that they will pay what they owe with a game.

Some unemployed youths in my location see gambling as a part-time job. It is annoying to see them spend almost an entire day in a physical bet shop. So never see gambling as a profession, your wins should be seen as an insignificant part of your income.

This is what I also say, never gamble with other people's money or you could say borrow money just to gamble, let alone recover previous losses, that will never be justified and must be avoided, there are many cases of gamblers who go bankrupt because their debts are too much so many gamblers do it. committed suicide and left debts and then all the burden was placed on his family.

Don't ever try this, of course for beginners who don't understand and can control themselves, because losing at gambling is not the beginning of a disaster but there are lessons that must be taken to be able to play better in the next game, never try to recover from losses because it is very impossible to catch up with losses. In order to win, not everyone succeeds, so whoever it is, keep using money that is not used from yourself, it will be better and not money from other people.

I don't think that you have to risk that. I mean if you are in a workplace, anyone can see what you are doing in your screen, not even your boss. So it's very hard to play even at lunch break. Although I will admit that there are moments that when I'm working, I will sneak out of the company go to a casino very near like 5 minutes drive. Then I will get back to the office once the break is over.


This is controversial. I mean there are gamblers that will do anything to continue to their addictions. And one of them are borrowing money from either a bank or a person. But then again this is another risk for them. Taking loans and then pay it whenever they own. But then again, what if they lose? How can they pay it? So the decision of a gambling is very clouded but they could be willing to go this route.

I have also realized that time is of essense in gambling apart from using the money we can afford to lose. If you are gambling with your less busy time or totally free time, you are likely to be comfortable with relaxed mind. It has psychological effect on our brain activity if we are doing something with relaxed mind, we are likely to come out with good ideas from what we are thinking of and in this regards our analysis and prediction of our games. But mistakes are prone when you do things in a rush. Although having all the time in the world to analyze and predict a match does not guarantee winning but at the same time there is an aura of confidence and comfort that it gives if you do things in a relaxed mind .

At least give the company that you're working with the honor that you're not doing something else and you are honoring the working hours given to them by just doing things that are assigned to you in your workplace. Do not go that far that you'll use the company time for gambling, that just shows how jerk you are as an employee.

Not only young guys but also the older gamblers are going into this situation. When they can't help themselves but to gamble and don't have money left on their pockets and they want to gamble, what they do is borrow money that they can't even afford to pay. Why? Because that money is surely going to lose no matter what they do, it's all going to the casino and they can't justify that because all they think is that they have to gamble no matter.

I do hope that most of the gamblers will think that they shouldn't do anything with others money and simply don't gamble with others money.

There is more to gambling than the two warnings you dropped OP but they still counts, so many things are happening around gambling and here are few things that I am seeing happening to gamblers that I know.

1. Borrowing money to gamble puts you in shame and problem faster than anything, I have been wake up by noises in the neighborhood about debtors who refuse to pay their debt and words got out that they borrow money to gambles, like who does that? I don't see anything more stupid than this, because what you are about to use the money for is not assuring.

2. Turning into a gambler because people around won a good amount of money, there are people like this that are moved by what's happening around them, but it's possible that a gambler who made all his money from gambling will remain a gambler for life, because they have nothing else they are doing with their lives than to gamble, once they spend all the money they will always be back, for more.

3. When you are in a very bad mood stay away from gambling, this is the emotional time and they make you do things you don't have in plan to do, also I heard from a old gambler that when your spirit isn't in a good mood it attracts bad luck, if you gamble on such days you will likely lose all your money.

4. Do not gamble like your life depends on it, if you are like this it's because you don't believe in anything else, most people who do this don't have any source of income and they believe in that slim luck they have, what happens if such people lose money? They get worried and do stupid things like taking loan that will also end up in debts.

Gambling is not something we should depend on, it's not your small invention, it's not your company or your business, casinos is not stupid for bringing this business out for people, they are doing it to make money from people who like buying their fantasies, gamble like a responsible person.

Gambling is a game of uncertainty and even the bet we feel is accurate can still fail so however it is not advised to take a loan for gambling if the source of repayment is from the gambling because the possibility of winning the game is not certain and if perhaps you were unable to win how then would you pay for the loan.

This has been one of the issues most gamblers are having, taking loans with the hope of paying back from the wining, however it actually happened to a friend of mine who borrowed money for gambling without a reserve or back up plan and he lose all the money on the gambling, so when the loan was due for payment he start finding it difficult to pay back.

So the truth is that every gamblers should abstain from borrowing money for gambling irrespective of how sure you feel the game is borrowing for gambling is never an option, so however is always advised to only gamble with the money that will not affect you if you lose in other to have a rest of mind.

The list has been given quite a lot by other members in this group, and what becomes the focus after gamblers know this is actually implementing it in every gambling activity because theory without practice is nonsense, and there are gamblers who succeed in implementing it and there are also many who fail because they always go back to gambling with the same concept of gambling, thinking that gambling can make money, thinking that you will soon get lucky, thinking that stopping will close the opportunity to get big results.
Gamble with money that we can afford to lose, by using the time that is indeed our free time and stopping without thinking about what we have achieved, whether big wins or big losses because we have other lives besides gambling that we also have to live and think about, then if we can doing so gambling will not have a bad impact on our lives.

1. I wonder how someone can gamble at their work place when there are other things they should be attending to, I have my place of work, my own business, and most times I am always busy, but for me to pick up my phone and start streaming tiktok makes no sense to me, and you are talking about gambling at work, it's impossible, there is time to gamble and that's in my bedroom, when I have nothing else to do.

2. I always advice people not to take loan to run a business, I've never liked the idea because it's possible that the business will fail and you will have to pay the loan back, if the money was all yours you aren't paying anyone back, now imagine taking loans to gamble? If taking loan to start a business can fail you what do people expect using loan on something that is all about luck? Some people are the real problem of their own lives.

When I see people that are doing this stuffs I don't always mercy them, because they don't even care about themselves and their well being, when your chances of winning is very small you do it with small amount, because it's obvious that what's waiting for you is losses.

You are correct mate all those suggestions are definitely the reason for someone or a gambler to avoid. Why? Because those list won't make the gambler successful or productive during his or her job it only waste the precious time the employer has paid them. Taking loan just to gamble is a very risky thing to do. We might end up unlucky and lose that money for nothing.

Time is one of the main reasons why gamblers make several mistakes and managing time is very important for gambler to avoid bad things, including gambling addiction.
So far, many gamblers have forgotten about time when gambling so that they don't realize that there are other important things that must be prioritized rather than just sitting and gambling for hours.

Too much trust in games or bets that other people like is actually not recommended because we are gambling using personal money and if we don't know how the game works and we can't take advantage of chance the results will be in vain.
It better to gamble with what we like and it okay to try other games that are recommended or liked by other gamblers but still do as much as possible with as little money possible because we are just trying it out.

Your number one can be followed easily by most people or workers because usually their phones are being left on their locker before they start and there are supervisors or managers around that inspect their performance.

If you are designated in the office and you have a computer or laptop with you, the same thing happens. Then the machine that you are using might be restricted to open sites that are not related to your job. Your number two in your list is the ones that is hard to avoid. Especially now that online lending/loaning apps are born. Borrowing money has never been this easy. Despite of it, I'm thankful that I don't avail them.

Alcohol consumption is a sure cause of death in humans. Alcohol consumption not only kills people but also destroys a family. If the sole earner of the family consumes alcohol and if he suffers from any major disease due to alcohol consumption, it will affect the entire family. If there is one addicted person in a family, the entire family is ruined for that person. If gambling is done properly by a person and if he is not addicted to gambling then gambling will not bring any harm to him and his family but if a person consumes small amount or excessive amount of alcohol but he will get out of that place. Very hard to come by. If someone forgets alcohol by gambling then I would say gambling is good for him. If we want to enjoy a healthy life then we must stay away from alcohol.

Do not gamble if you are depressed, guilty, feeling desperate, or whenever there's a strong emotion running inside you. You can't gamble when your focus is on something else.

Also, if you are not rich, don't go to a casino or a gambling club bringing so much money. In other words, don't bring with you money which you can't afford to lose even if you're only planning to gamble a small portion of it. If possible, bring only what you intend to gamble. That would also mean you shouldn't be carrying with you your credit and debit cards.

I'd mention time because once you're focused on gambling, you might compromise your schedule if you don't keep track of the time. I remember reading a piece of news back then about a parent who put her child in danger because she was gambling and forgot about the time.

I agree if it's all the time, but still, you don't have to necessarily avoid this part when there's nothing wrong in trying some of the most recommended games.
