Topic: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? - page 2. (Read 1943 times)

I've seen those threads here in the gambling discussion section and I will also have to agree with it.
But are we really capable of following all this? I think this is the hardest part of all because we tend to get serious at chasing losses and the chances of losing ourselves in the process will always be there.
Our minds will be clouded by our emotions so we disregard all the rules that we made for ourselves just like the ones listed by OP and other threads made by members in the forum.
We can list it all and put it in front of our computer to remind ourselves but there's always a chance that we might ignore it because we are trying to get back all the losses.
I've been in a position before where I gambled the money that I could not afford to lose and I was so frustrated that I kept on betting because I wanted it back badly. Even just half of it will make me happy but I was still unsuccessful in doing so. I guess that's an example of my mind being clouded by bad emotions and I was unable to control it.

Everything should be fixed and everything should be in moderation on which it would be always recommended on that way so that you wont really be ending up on messing up yourself with gambling.
Its not bad to gamble as long you do make yourself that responsible because the main issue on why people do lost up big time and mess up their lives because of gambling just because they are
treating it as a source of income on which we do know that it cant be just possible if we do really just tend to look up on the odds and risks involved..There are ones who are really that sensible
and there are ones who are really careless on doing so or dealing up with. This is why it would be always best that you should be having the control.

If you are emotional as a gambler, the best thing is to just avoid gambling at that time, or else, you get to regret your subsequent actions. You will be at the mercy of not only the house and the gambling as an activity but also at the mercy of the emotion that has taken the whole of you. Emotional gamblers are such that even though they had plans would set aside the plans and start gambling on anyhow. They do not know that something is wrong until they end their money foolish, it is only then that their eyes become open. Gambling and other risky activities or businesses need you to have a clear mind and plans, and one can only achieve those with enough experience and discipline which needs regular breaks to be able to preserve in some cases.

As humans, no gambler would say that they are not being challenged emotionally at times. yours could be limited or even negligible than others, but at times, our bad mistakes often trigger the emotions in us, and what matters afterwards is how we handle it. If poorly handled and causes us to have a bad mental state that will not be healed for so long and we are still playing in such a state, then it becomes a problem for us. What it could cause is for us to be irresponsible gamblers in both off and on gambling lives as we set aside the budget and other calculations we planned for but continue to gamble anyhow until we ruin everything. Taking breaks at times like this could be the best thing to do, and until the gambler is healed, such should not come back to gambling if a wise option is to be considered.

Gambling can be addictive so it's very important to have personal rules and regulations to guide you when you gamble, so I'll start with what you shouldn't avoid when gambling, which is very essential, it's discipline, without it, whatever you list to avoid in gambling can be what you'll be doing.

The first thing to avoid in gambling is what is continuously advised in this section of the forum, to gamble the amount that you can afford to loose, so we must be disciplined and avoid going beyond what we can afford to loose, because gambling is risky and addictive, you can lose all your money in the process. The second thing to avoid in gambling is chasing loses, once you've exhausted the amount that you budgeted for the day's gambling, it's better to call it a day and gamble another day, because if you're losing and continues gambling in the hope of recovering what you've lost, then you'd be surprised that you can exhaust all your money in the process.

when you gamble for long period you might lose what you can never afford to lose even with both eyes closed. the more time you spent on a casino the more money you loose on bet. Only people with discipline might get the opportunity to recover from gambling addictions. I have seen those topics countless times and I have also make some  comments on them all. However avoiding those things can keep you safe distance from additcions. The worst of them all is gamble while feeling sleepy or on drugs, it can make you lose more money, you should avoid it.

Some things I always stick to while gambling are never gambling for long periods of time and gambling for fun with a fixed gambling budget. Although once I got addicted to gambling and lost a lot and from there I got a better understanding of the bad aspects of gambling. and I always avoid taking gambling seriously now and always advise everyone to use gambling only for fun. because anyone who takes gambling seriously and tries to make money from gambling will have nothing without regrets.

There are some other things to add and they have been created as topic in this gambling discussion section such as:
- Do not gamble in front of your kids
- Do not gamble when you are consuming drugs or half sleep
- Do not gambler what you cant afford to lose
I may missed some others, but I have to agree with all above things including yours.

Yes, it is true that we should not be confident when gambling and must always be careful when risking our money, the point is not to be too greedy because if we are greedy it will be difficult to control ourselves well because that is what we should avoid when gambling, because gambling Greedy behavior will not make us win against the bookie or against ourselves. One more important thing is to set a budget when gambling because it can prevent us from greedy behavior.

Where when we experience defeat we can stop gambling and rest because the budget has run out, the more we limit our budget and be consistent with that we can avoid greedy behavior because greed must be avoided so as not to fall into and become addicted to gambling by playing continuously without stopping and with limits. , thus making ourselves addicted to gambling which of course will be a disease that is difficult to cure, everyone knows that addiction is a disease that is difficult to cure for gamblers. So avoiding greed is the most important thing when gambling. one other thing is gambling responsibly will keep us on the safe side too.

I would still put in first place in terms of prevalence the confidence that the player will be able to win, but the others will not. Remove such thoughts that we are exceptional or special and luck will definitely come to us. It is better to think about how not to lose too much, and not about the fact that we will win the jackpot and start spending virtual profits, as many do. Reality brings such people down to earth very quickly.

If we are lucky enough to win, then I definitely need to withdraw some part, say half or more, in order to enjoy life and make my dreams come true, and not leave it on the balance sheet so that I can come back the next day and lose it all. This happens quite often.

I think still lots of points tension untold what gambler need to follow. Firstly, gamblers shouldn't consider gambling as their income source. And it is not a recommended for gamblers to keep visiting gambling website. thus there's a chance to place bet on unknown games. keep a lots of money in their gambling accounts could also force your mind to place more and more bets. Gambling should be fun and should do consider as time pass. Never takes loan for Gambling is the most important point, always remember that you will make yourself fall in more danger when you lost the loan amount. Anyone shouldn't so over confident, rather it's better to stop everything immediately

It would be better for a gambler to control his emotions and concentrate. If he has lost repeatedly, it is better to stop because it will only make the gambler more ambitious and always want to win the game, because all this will only waste money and he cannot quickly return the capital he lost.
The more you chase victory, the more you will experience defeat because what gamblers do is using ambition and using high emotions. It would be better for gamblers to stop for a moment and rest until their emotional state and mental concentration are stable.
But all this will not be realized by a gambler who is a hobby and loves to gamble.
There is a high ambition to win in the gambler's mind when he has experienced a lot of losses, he wants to return the capital he lost and win with lots of profits.

That is what it should be done, when losing several times in a row the correct decision to make is to take a break, however this is often not what gamblers do, and instead they decide to increase the size of their bets hoping that a reversal on their luck can help them to recover the money they have lost as quickly as possible, however since they are in such a heightened emotional state due to those losses, they fail to realize that if their bad luck continues the money they will lose will do nothing but to increase.

It would be better for those who enjoy gambling to stay away from it; it will become their favorite. Most people, even those who work for the government, will head straight to casinos where they can spend a lot of money, leaving their families suffering at home in need of food. Gambling money is similar to blood money because, even in cases where you win big, you can see that the winnings were put toward necessities; you would never see them spend it where is supposed to.
I'm curious if somebody wants to take out a loan solely for the sake of gambling, which is a bad idea. What if the loan they borrow after using the bet all comes in and he cuts all of their plans? I know how difficult it will be for them to repay a debt. They relied solely on gaming for revenue because they had no other options, which was a bad decision.

You shouldn't be over confident while gambling. Another important thing you should avoid increasing the bet value soon after losing bets. This won't work all the time. Gambling being much associated with luck, we shouldn't have the mind to win and take a break, when we find ourselves on the losing streak we should take a break. This will help us to limit the loss and help to be on the safe side.

This is very much relative, putting into consideration the nature of your job some jobs do give you the luxury of time enough to get your hands on other things but so in such case you can possibly gamble especially if your personal device is at reach and very much accessible then you can gamble not minding that you are at work.

If you work in a place where you mobile device is out of reach probably in the factory then it's very possible you will not be able to reach your phone and gamble at work, you may have to wait till the close of work before you can bet access to your device and gamble with it, another could be if you are under strict supervision at work, you cannot be able to multitask such that you will be working and gambling t the same time so basically it's all relative and there are some people who gamble at work while others don't probably because they aren't privilege to and they don't want to get distracted.

Getting yourself out of control would really be resulting into those things that we arent that anticipating for it to happen. This is why it is really that crucial that you should really be that responsible
on the things that you are really that indeed doing so that on the time that you would really be doing gambling then you wont really be messing up your life with because of wrong decisions.
Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that mindful and responsible on what you are doing, having that fund or money management on which i would say that it is really always been that crucial
because once you do find yourself that being impulsive then you are really that bound to lose money that huge money on which this something that you must avoid in the first place.
There are really just that those people who cant really be able to control themselves on dealing up with something.

That is probably the most important realization that gamblers need to make, losing is not only something that will happen to them, it will also happen very often, so they need to make up their mind and accept it, and if they cannot do it that is acceptable too, as long as they stop gambling, but if they can neither accept this or stop then sooner or later they will get in trouble, since someone that is looking to obtain profits and does not have the capabilities to do this will simply lose way more money than what they can deal with it.

Of course, for this problem, I would advise you to maintain your awareness firmly in every gambling session that you do, because only that will be able to make you avoid several actions that are out of control when gambling, such as what usually happens is greed or inaction. chasing losses to break even. Therefore, I hope that anyone understands better what gambling is or what the basic concept in gambling means, losing is something that is bound to happen and winning is a prize that you will get occasionally and depends on how lucky you are at that time. So with a good understanding of gambling, it is clear that I think it is unlikely that you will carry out some actions out of control which are not recommended and which must be avoided for your safety in the long term.

You can never gamble while at work because the owner of the establishment will consider it as forbidden and will fire you outright. But you can earn money from that organization and gamble any other time but now online gambling is more popular so many employees now gamble inside the organization to keep themselves private. On the other hand taking a loan for gambling is unusual because it is uncertain that you will be able to repay the loan with the money you earn from gambling. Moreover the interest rate will be charged along with the repayment of the loan so it is quite annoying. You can spend a portion of your earned money on gambling but only within your means.

Even if I agree with you in the sense that behind every addicted there are underling issues that are not being treated, at the same time the first steps are always dedicated to solve the immediate crisis and only then that is solved you can treat the causes behind it since an addiction is like any disease, lets use diabetes as an example, if a person was experimenting a diabetic coma, while curing the causes of the diabetes is important, at the same time that is irrelevant until the doctors can reverse the diabetic coma the patient is experimenting.
