Topic: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? - page 15. (Read 1956 times)

Well, the second point has been overly discussed here as it has even become a tradition for some gamblers to always take loans to gamble and for others to also gamble in their work space. Like I always used to say, I had a colleague while I was working somewhere some years ago. This colleagues of mine is addicted to gambling, and even while he's on duty, he still tries to find a way to fulfill his gambling urges. It can be easy for a new gambler to control their bad behavior, but for addicted gamblers who have been exhibiting such habits for a long time in their gambling lifestyle, I think it will be difficult to change.

There is no rule that abhors this. Like a boss who smoke can actually smoke with employee or ask employee for light or some sticks of cigarettes. So likewise a boss that gamble may not find anything wrong when his employee gambles while still on duty.

By the way, is it wrong to gamble at break time? I don't think it is wrong if it doesn't overlap with work process. Break time are to be used by a worker and he could decide by himself what way he want to spend his break and so he can decide to be gambling with it and if the boss is a gambler he will not have a problem with that and some boss don't really disturb their employees on what they did with their break time. Moreover people go home at break time and that time can also be utilized to gamble.

Gambling in place of work may never be a good idea because that may really take someone's attention away from what they are doing at that particular time, which may make them not concentrate on their work at the moment. So the best way is to avoid gambling when doing work that really needs your attention. In fact, someone can even be upset about doing work if they lose their bets on gambling. It is always better for someone to have time for one particular thing because it will make them concentrate more; doing two things at the same time is a distraction.


I don't even know why anyone would carry a loan to gamble. Gambling is never a way of earning money because there is no assurance in gambling, no matter how smart someone may be. So if there is no guarantee of earning money in gambling, why will someone just think of taking a loan for gambling? In fact, a loan is not a good thing because it can take someone to the stage of depression, especially when someone is not earning much. A loan should only be carried out for a tangible reason.

It takes a few minutes and moment to gamble, so you can gamble in any place you feel comfortable that is why gambling developed online too, so you can gamble on your phone at any time and place that is okay. It is not good to gamble during working time, but during your free rest time, and need so kind of quick relaxation, gambling quickly can take off some stress.

Taking loans to gamble is abusing the opportunity you have to borrow money for a better purpose.

Nowadays, with the presence of online gambling that can be accessed through gadgets, gambling is easier to play anytime and anywhere, including in the workplace. And I often find this kind of behavior, when working hours are in progress. Last time I read a news, that there were government officials who played slot gambling while the meeting was in progress. And that is inappropriate behavior for a government official, which this country is strongly against gambling.

Here I will not go too far into the good or bad of gambling, but I will discuss more about the proper ethics before starting gambling. Indeed, one is free to engage in gambling and this is regardless of whether a particular country considers gambling to be legal or illegal. Because whether legal or illegal, this does not rule out the possibility for someone to play gambling.

Online gambling can be done anywhere and anytime. However, it would be better and more appropriate if before deciding to start gambling we must first pay attention to "Where are we now and what are we doing now." Do not let when we are at work and are in an important meeting, but we are instead busy alone playing gambling and ignoring what has become our duties and responsibilities as employees. And don't let when we are at home worshiping but while doing gambling. It is ridiculous but this incident often happens and we often encounter it.

And today's quote "The best gambler is not a gambler who can get a big profit in gambling and constantly get a win, but about how capable the gambler can control himself over the gambling he does.

It is really wrong that you are gambling at your workplace and those who borrow to gamble we know where it will end up, they will be drowning in debt and this is the sign of being addicted to gambling.

I think you should avoid gambling while drinking alcohol.
Also avoid gambling in front of your children because you will be a bad influence on them.
Avoid gambling if your gambling budget is growing and you can't control it. In other words, be a responsible gambler. You know the dos and don'ts when you gamble.

This is just a scam. If he does not avoid it, the first watch will likely teach him a lesson after it becomes a lost match and he lost money. This happened to someone that I knew that tried it and he lost the money on the first match. When I saw the prediction, two of which were more than 20 odds, I knew it was a scam and he was scammed.

That's funny. What rule of ethics does it break?
Have you considered that people have many different jobs, some involving waiting for hours for something. Imagine that you're a truck driver. You pull up to the terminal and they start loading stuff into your rig, which takes an hour because there's a forklift bringing stuff over from the warehouse and they have to fill the trailer so that there's no free space and secure the load. What are you supposed to do? You can take a leak, eat a sandwich, but at some point you'll be on your phone watching youtube or something. Who's there to say you can't gamble?

There are jobs where you shouldn't gamble because it's unethical. For example you wouldn't want a teacher to gamble in the classroom while you write your test. At the same time it doesn't matter what someone does on his lunch break. You can go to the bathroom and spin a roulette wheel while you sit on your throne and nobody will know.

- Avoid following social media platforms like Facebook or Telegram for match predictions, as well as paying a fee for such forecasts.
- Don't use gambling as a coping mechanism for your hurts and anxieties.
- Remain calm while your scheduled bets are in progress.
- Don't be worried or criticize yourself for losing bets since the outcome wasn't what you had anticipated.
- Don't always assume that someone else's gambling is correct without conducting your own analysis.

Here are some rules I followed when gambling:

Don't gamble with emotion, and don't gamble if you don't have enough money.
Gambling should be for fun and entertainment, not a money making scheme. Yes, gambling can make you rich if you can gamble properly. But again, how many gamblers have you seen achieve this? You should only gamble if you can afford to lose. But some would gamble as if their lives depended on it. Get a life buddy, be logical, don't be an addict, and don't drown in emotions. If you can't control your emotions, you won't be able to make the right decision.

The gamblers need to correct their concepts first. The money that is lost in gambling should be treated as a loss and it should not be looked as in the sense that we need to recover the loss. No, it is not like that. A lost money in gambling should be written off as a loss in the gambler's book.

Gambling is a game of luck, where win and loss both will happen, and we should expect our losses with an open heart. If anyone thinks that he should not face a loss in gambling, he/she should not gamble, or the gambling is not the game meant for them. In theory and practical it is not even possible that the gamblers may never lose.
If there is anyone who never loses is the Gambling houses themselves who are running this business.

That is one of the most common mistakes most gamblers make. They chase losses. One after one, they keep on losing, hoping to recover the lost amount. But in the end, they end up losing everything. Those who do this should always remember that gambling is designed like that. There will be losses and wins. You can not always expect to win. That is why you shouldn't always chase the rabbit. Sometimes you have to think straight. Take a break and try again later, but don't try to recover a lost bet with multiple bets.

Here are some things that I'd like to add to it.
Avoid getting emotional: while gambling you should never get emotional for your loss. Emotion plays a big part in gambling and you should always try to avoid it no matter what. Being affected by emotion can lead to losses and decisions that are not in your favor. One should learn how to control it and make decisions based on their strategy.

Do not gamble with money that you can't afford to lose: this is a big thing in gambling. In my perspective, the amount you put into gambling you should always consider it lost or rather you can think of it like a payment for the entertainment you are getting from gambling. And what you win is a bonus that you get for using that platform. If you can create a mindset like this, then your gambling journey will be stress-free not full of regrets and depression.

Do not over gamble: set up a strategy so that you gamble certain amount of money for certain amount of bets. Do not chase your losses and think of as what is gone is already gone. Move on to the next stage. When you chase your losses, you lose instead and it becomes stress instead of entertainment.

Learn to take a break: never gamble when he was stressed or losing too much and the luck is not at your favor. Give it some time and take a break, go outside and do other stuffs that will keep you away from gambling.

3. Do not gamble when you are in stress, you would be most likely be ending up on gambling more and impulsively be spending up like a mad man.If you dont like
on finding yourself getting wrecked then you should avoid this.
4. Dont gamble if you do find yourself that being too greedy into that moment or point on which it is really that  hard to believe that people couldn't really be able
to notice on the things that they are dealing with or currently that they are doing.
5. Avoid on chasing losses, this had been the most common issue on why gamblers do really end up on a disaster.

Everything should really be just that fine if you do have that kind of control but we know that each person does have different approach and taking towards
things and this is why we do see different scenarios or conditions basing up on the things that they've been doing or simply with their decisions
had been made.

It is obvious that you have really pont at the major areas where many gamblers fail because of the urge to earn more then we can be seeing ourselves gambling more than what we should bet more. Some gamblers can even decide to gamble during work time without knowing the consequences it could pose on there job. It is very important for us to discipline ourselves and stay away from excessive gambling since this is the major expects we need to work on to be a better gamblers free of gambling addiction. If we can control ourselves enough on these certain aspects, we are going to have a cool and better lifestyle as gamblers.

Be greedy, encourage others to also gamble, deposit an amount more than what you can afford losing, gambling using borrowed money, and more. For sure we are all aware of those things we shouldn’t do; requires commonsense and awareness. Gambling itself is risky and not legal to many countries for a reason. We can list as many as possible concerning the dont’s in this industry but what’s the need to do so? ‘Coz there are people who still fall from those which should we avoid. Of course we cannot command every gambler so at least we should start it with ourselves.
At any age, never gamble in front of non-gamblers. We cannot control their curiosity so atleast never let them exposed of this industry. It is quite of an unwritten rule and is something driven by initiative to be a responsible gambler. Allow them to be part of this industry but never take part of their reason to start.

I don't gamble anymore like I used to, but whenever I gamble, I try to hide my gambling activity from my children or any other teenagers. But the main problem is that the area where I live is not free from gambling. The environment encourages gambling. So even if I don't expose myself, my children are exposed to gambling due to environmental reasons. That is something I cannot stop. To overcome this, I think there should be a subject for safe gambling. As in, they have both good and bad sides. Just as sex education is a mandatory thing in some countries, gambling education should be a thing too.

Gambling in front of kinds is a most no go area and as a matter of fact,  gambling should basically avoid children this is so important to avoid possible future disasters waiting to happen in time,  so to avoid that from happening one need to clearly separate gambling from kids until the grow to a certain age.

This is why gambling in an environment that you feel is secure private to avoid involvement from family and friends,  and also having a restriction to time yourself and your activities also at some point is most important too.

Right, never gamble with debt. Those who take part in gambling with loans end up living very badly. Although there is no legal casino site in my country but I have seen locals in our country gambling by sitting on the roadside. They mostly participate in gambling by taking loans from people. I have seen people who gamble in such a situation, their families will be very poor and they end up living like beggars on the side of the road. That's why I say those of you who participate in gambling on credit, be careful now and never participate in gambling on credit. Participating in debt gambling is very bad and deadly. It is 100% true that debt will destroy you. There are also many other things that should be avoided while gambling.

The most important rule I follow is that I never gamble in front of my kids or any other teenagers. With time and experience, I know the good and bad sides of gambling. They don't, and there is a big change, if they see us gambling, they might get inspired to gamble. Which I think can have a bad impact on their future. Because they are still young and immature. That's why it's a must follow rule for me. Another thing I don't do is gamble at my workplace. Work and gambling should not get mixed up. It's unethical and very unprofessional. Gambling should be for fun and only in our free time.
