Topic: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? - page 7. (Read 1943 times)

Whether you're on the winning side or on the losing streak we shouldn't be over confident while gambling. Myself had experienced it many times. I used to spend on Dice and other casino games. At times out of luck the win used to be easier and whatever the roll I Keep winning. My mind have the thinking God have given it as an opportunity and today it is my day. I keep wagering without taking a break and lose everything. This should be avoided and we should understand gambling is just luck and should not connect it anywhere else.

That should be the case but many gamblers are playing for profit.  Regardless we should always be in check of our activity.  Be always on check if we are still in control or the gambling is taking over us.  When it comes to work, it is unfair for the employer if we are using our work hours for gambling.  We hate it when our employers cheat us of our working hours, we should always be sensitive that as much as we hate employers cheating us of our time, it is also not right to cheat our employer of the time allocated to working hours for gambling activity.  This might also end up in a bad reputation and possible extermination once the management proved that an employee is lacking due to gambling during working hurs.

When you are having lots of work to do and you decide to ignore those work and gamble, that’s when I will say it’s really bad for you to gamble when you are at work, but when you are at work and you have nothing to do, I don’t see anything bad in gambling during that time, and if you are employed at a place, you can’t be working always, there will be some times when you will be doing nothing, so you can just be gambling for relaxation at that particular time. So before you complain about gambling at work being a bad activity, you should state the conditions first.

It’s annoying when I see people taking loans to gamble, that’s really a bad idea. If you are gambling and you do have any money left with you, it’s just better you stop gambling, and whenever you have money, you can continue gambling. You shouldn’t go to the length of taking loans to gamble, it’s really wrong to me. There are things I will say we shouldn’t do when gambling, which include taking loans just because we want to gamble and selling properties just to get money to gamble. I know addicted gamblers do the two things I mentioned above, but it’s wrong.

Self control would really be mainly needed because if you do lack on this then you most likely be ending up on playing gambling in the end of the day. Actually it isnt really that bad as long you are
really that in good control towards your spending but if you do really comes into a point that you are already that becoming that impulsive then it would really be that an another story.

1. Gamble while at work? You are really putting up your work at risks or simply you are putting your lifeline at risks
2. Loan to gamble? That is really just similar on putting up a gun into your forehead or simply you are taking suicide.

Those things above are something that a severe gambling addict would really be able to do so.
This is why we should really be careful on dealing up with gambling. Always have that control and always have that right mind when taking up decisions.
Its impossible that we wont really be able to assess on whats good or on whats bad.

To me, you should always avoid the urge to gamble everyday, no matter the urge, the temptations' to do so; Never lose yourself to gambling
When you gamble daily, it becomes a trait, a part of you and then you slip gradually into an addict

Secondly; Make sure to avoid gambling after every wins; if you win a bet today; avoid gambling for 2-3 days; spend your earnings wisely and not gambling

I would also like to agree with you on this point, It is definitely unethical to be busy with other things during work time, because if you focus on something else here, it will definitely have a bad effect on your workplace. Gambling is only for fun purpose, never get addicted to gambling that you have to play it on your workplace. Moreover, I would like to add one more thing, never be greedy, especially in gambling, greed means losing everything.

One who is in a bad health condition really needs to avoid gambling. Health comes first, and what the person should be thinking at that point in time is how to get better and not how to get himself into more serious health issues that might come with gambling.
 
And when one is not in good health, your state of mind won't also be settled, and as such, your decision towards getting the right game to play will also be affected.

You can be gambling under pressure, which could lead to losing more often than one should have, and again, if time is not taken, you can gamble above your limit since you are not thinking straight and can't be able to maintain a good and responsible gambling habit.

And it happens because of the encouragement of the dissatisfaction that exists in themselves as well as greed that helps the dissatisfaction to continue the game, unconsciously those who continue the game have entered into the trap of the bookie, where the winnings that have been obtained will most likely be pulled back by the bookie. If they continue the game after getting the victory, they will experience defeat where many of them cannot accept the defeat and become emotional because of the defeat they get, so most likely they will return to gambling for revenge by wanting a bigger win that can cover the defeat they got at the beginning, and this has become common in all gamblers, it is also difficult to avoid because of the level of awareness that is less mastered by them so they are easily attracted by the temptation of gambling. So the thing to avoid in my opinion is greed.

I was addicted to gambling for some couple of years untill i got a six months job as an industrial training student. I imagined how unfair gambling in the work place would be, throughout the six months i didn't get on the old habit of gambling, the job took all my time because I was getting up earlier and get back home lately. This enable me to stop gambling for six months until I lost the urge to gamble and I was happy about the result. What am I actually implying:
Find yourself engaged in activities that would take your time of 5-8 months, doing that consistently lets you escape your bad habit until it becomes part of you.

Results that do not match what they want seems to be a challenge for most gamblers especially those who come to make money, there are some who consider losing as a process of striving for greater victory, lol how can you equate something that only depends on luck with a process like you strive for success like in other fields. Yes I agree to that and it's true that most of them can't accept results that are not to their liking, simply put they want to win but don't want to lose, while on the other hand the house will always win.

Yes and to be honest sometimes I also get annoyed when the end result is always not right but it doesn't matter I don't think too much about it and I emphasize myself more on the real understanding that it is a gamble that the end result will not always be what I want. So in such conditions I think more about not taking revenge because I know it will only worsen my condition. If you are one of those gamblers who like to overdo it then I think it's better for you to consider it again, don't put too high hopes there because obviously you have also proven it yourself that you lose more often than win, as you said you better be more assertive in applying limits because that's all that matters.

That's the best thing to do, when you keep losing and you think it' no longer healthy both mentally and financially, pausing or quitting.
is the right practice to avoid losing your control.

Just allocate your money and time and leave it that way in order to keep your control and to avoid losing a lot, as the possibilities are to be engaged.

that much and you will be getting into addiction if you fail not to stop while you still have that chance.

For most people in gambling, negative results drives their emotion so losing is just part of it. Accepting a lose might hard for most, I don't want to be a hypocrite but I'm one of them which is bad in gambling. To take this, one thing I learned in gambling is setting a limitation, profit is profit and losing what you can afford, don't go beyond these boundaries, if you do then that might just be it for your gambling journey. We know how hard to lose especially if you feel that you can bounce back from it, but sometimes just learn to pass it on and think that it's not the last day you're going to play.

We know that it's really hard to stop gambling, especially if you're winning, but you should still have control over yourself and have a budget when you come here so that in case you lose, you don't have to chase your losses because it's reserved in your gambling hobby. We know that we often lose when we chase our losers but we keep going because we hope to win the jackpot or get the money back. So if you notice that you often chase after your losers like this, I think you should stop gambling for a while.

It is definitely not easy, as by nature people are not very good at accepting defeat and when they obtain results that are negative they keep trying to change their outcomes, and often this is a characteristic that we admire on people, as those that are determined to reach their goals are the ones that eventually do so, but in gambling that tendency is a huge weakness, because as we know very well there is no way to change the results we may get on a gambling game in which the only thing that matters is your luck.

One of the things that I realized this year is that when a person knows a game and plays it constantly, then that person needs to keep playing that same game and if that person doesn't like that game and wants to change to another game, then that person should first focus on obtaining a lot of information about the game he intends to play and only after he manages to obtain a lot of information can he start playing by placing money, I say this because I make sports bets and I could see something bad that I did, it was the Next, I place football bets on the main football leagues in the world. but it happens that in football leagues they end the season and go on vacation

and as I didn't want to spend 3 months without betting, so I started betting on games from leagues that I don't know, they were leagues from China, Korea, Africa... but I always lost money. so for 3 months I was very irritated with my losses until I decided to stop betting money on those leagues that I don't know, by that I mean that it is important that people don't make the mistake of playing in things they don't know, don't put money on things you don't know about. I know that gambling should be seen as fun

but as much as gambling has to be seen as fun, it is very important to be aware that we are putting money into the game and because of that there needs to be some wins, so that the person has a stable bankroll, which does not constantly run out. and force the person to make more deposits and then go bankrupt. I hope people don't make the mistake I talked about

When we are in the mood to do Things to improve a person's Performance in the casino, it has a lot to do with emotions, impositions, and if everything has to do with that, the impositions and the truth about the things to avoid, Because when we lose money to play, how will we go back to the casino? Without ID it is not possible, unless it is Played in fictitious mode, it is the only mention, the rest I don't see well, because of emotions we are People who have to do things so that our money cannot be go so fast, that's why at the time of doing anything, we must take care of everything, when people enter the casino they enter with the clear possibility of winning , of doing things that can be expanded, but sometimes things in the casino work differently Firstly because of the advantage of the House, secondly because the vcasino is a place where it Represents a Company, a Business Model and everything that means Being with the best Option for its Founders to win , because who is going to set up a casino to give away money? It doesn't make any kind of Sense , these are the things you should see.

Now when things are tried to Achieve better performance , it is due to the Experience that is acquired, and what I say that can Influence what should Never be done is to seek to gain from Losses, because when one seeks to recover losses , What is done is that the Balance increases in losses, and that is not Correct, if the Person does not have good risk management then things will simply not turn out well, because if everything is Spent, where or how will the people to get more money? It is impossible, nothing can be done, so based on this, you must always do the best so that the Money can Yield, and thus the best can be generated for the person who Plays , then things with the casinos must be implied, to Put it in ourselves to at Least know what Should not be Done.

Overall, we need the strong emotion to resist the urge to keep chasing our losses because the more we chase the chances are slim to recover and that bites into our bankroll more. This is a task that gamblers have to solve to be a reasonable gambler. Doing revenge gambling is one bankroll sucker as you lose control of properly taking your bet in the very calculative way.

Another thing with revenging the losses is that most times when you try to get back you increase the stake from the usual amount and if you lose in such times you see that you are losing more which makes your bankroll exhausted. So we need to have a strong control of our emotion. However, it is not easy when you are losing 

Human nature makes it difficult to stop gambling when you should, as if you are winning then you want to win even more, but if you are losing then you want to at least recover the money you have lost, now it is inevitable that this happens from time to time, however if this keeps happening to a gambler despite their attempts to try to curb this behavior, then maybe it is time they seriously think about leaving gambling behind.

That is the issue with greed, doesn't matter if you win or lose, if you put greed into it, the end result will be losing it all. If you win, then get greedy, you will think that you will keep on winning and you are going to lose it all, if you lose then get greedy then you think you will recover and lose even more.

There is nothing that can be gained from greed, you are going to end up with something that will probably be nothing that great, and you should be getting rid of emotions when gambling, you should feel just one emotion, which is joy. If you are not feeling joy when gambling, if you are not having fun, then you should not be gambling at all, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the end result should be having fun.

This is why I believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just avoiding any type of anger, greed and many other emotions when you are gambling because none of them will ever help you in the end result at all, it will always make it worse.

Hopefully he's doing it away from his obligation, I mean mentioning sport betting where you just need to visit the sports betting site and place your
bet then wait for the result.

Not the same with playing a luck base casino game where you needed to use a lot of your time and will affects your work.

I see your point and yeah, we do have different perspectives from one another, and I think you just need to place yourself on that same shoe in order
to understand the situation.
