Topic: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? - page 8. (Read 1943 times)

That's right, isn't it? The sense of satisfaction that exists in gamblers is high, so it is difficult to find a breaking point that will make them realize that the victory they get is enough. And not continue the game that can spend back the winnings they previously got. But the reality is like this, many of them dare to continue their game without thinking about the risks they will get so that they regret at the end that they can only feel. In general also defeat is synonymous with upset, disappointed, sad. So naturally many people get emotional when they lose by wanting to gamble again to restore the losses they have felt, but that's impossible. The chances are very slim that they can restore the losses they have experienced, even if they gamble again with the aim of wanting to restore losses, it will only spend more of their money.

And that will usually be the beginning of someone to apply greed, anyone who can never get enough of the victory they managed to get then I say that it is not a real victory or the final victory, because of course after they apply greed at that time then obviously the final result will again run randomly and it is very possible that where initially they have won but because they apply greed then in the end usually all the money they have earned will disappear again with defeat.

Indirectly in my opinion this is very related to whether they are responsible gamblers or not, because of course usually someone who is responsible will accept whatever the final result is, and that means whatever the amount of victory is very possible for them to stop and enjoy the results of their winnings and forget about their greed. Basically, in my opinion, whatever game you play or even want to be in the type of skill-based gambling, some precautions must still be applied because only that can help you minimize things that are not wanted.

The results of these are never good I think they don't stop after losing the loan because greed works in them and the addiction of getting more and more makes them destitute. On the other hand in addition to being in debt financial crises such as selling property selling furniture bankrupting businesses are also happening due to gambling addiction. Due to the transaction of so much money in a short period of time through gambling crime in the country can increase. Gambling drives people crazy robs them of morality.

I hope you also earn good in future and start a company. Then when you start managing employees and they play games while you pay them for their time, then you will realize how wrong you are doing now. We never see situation from another person perspective and it causes a lot of problem for both the parties in future. Sooner or later, your employer will find what you are doing at workplace and will fire you.

Don't also gamble with the money that is budgeted for medicines, bills and other important expenses that you'll have.

This is one of the reasons why many wives are fighting their husbands or the opposite because of being undecisive gambler. All they think is to sustain their gambling needs.

But if it's about their other personal needs, they're compromising and sacrificing it for that. Always try to be the better gambler than the others.

And when they lose, they will write a long sob story on the internet for us to read and feel sorry for them about it while they broke the common sense rule of gambling.


High odds leads to high loss. There are people who would want to take the high risk route and it is okay to do so once in awhile. However, gamble with only money you can afford to lose and keep in mind that gambling is not get rich quick strategy. Having this in mind will help the gambler to avoid, overly risky gambling.

I agree with your point, some gamblers play games they are not familiar with, just because maybe the odds are high they just go ahead to play those games, without taking time to do a proper prediction.
Another thing is the fact that the higher the odd the more likely a particular game is not going to play, because high odds hardly come through, so the best thing is to avoid high odds you are not familiar with.

In other words, the person or gambler you describe in this post has become part of a gambling disorder. The type of gambler you say can be said to be a compulsive gambler. they have an uncontrollable urge to continue gambling even though they have to borrow here and there. problem of paying the loan, they will think about it later. The most important thing is that his gambling desires are fulfilled first. if they are lucky they will pay it straight away, and if otherwise they will look for other loans and will not even hesitate to sell the valuables they own. and usually, special treatment is needed to handle cases like this.

Related to your post, a phenomenon like this is not something foreign to us. In fact, there are several friends in my circle who behave as you describe. Well, we see a lot of phenomena like this and even discuss them very often. So how can you avoid it and still be able to enjoy gambling? there are no other words other than, know yourself. I mean, the limits of what we can afford. have a good understanding of gambling, and be accompanied by responsibility. then, what is created is self-control. Thus, we will not be like the gamblers you describe in this post. Even though in practice, it's not as easy as we say.

If they cannot control their greed, they will only get deeper into gambling and will not be willing to stop gambling easily. They have felt what it feels like to win and because of that, they still want more wins, which will make them return to gambling. But it will be difficult for them to win in the next round because their luck has started to run away and will only make them experience defeats that might even get bigger. If they do not realize this, they will only lose the winnings they have collected so that, in the end, there will be no money left at all. They have to start all over again by depositing some money and hoping to win big again like before. But once again, it won't be easy for them because they already had the opportunity to win big and didn't stop immediately, resulting in them experiencing more and more losses.

I always avoid gambling when I am in poor health because when our health condition worsens we cannot think clearly which makes us make careless decisions that we should not make

what's worse, gambling with poor health can make our body condition worse, either because of losing or playing games that are not in line with what we think

that's why I always avoid gambling when I'm in poor health because it can affect my gambling performance and make me make the wrong decisions

Being drunk while gambling or gambling under intense conditions when I don't have my comforts it affects me a lot of time and I have learn to always stay away from gambling when I am tipsy,  because at that level,  I will not be able to make a quality decisions since I may be under the influence of substances that are beyond my control.

Also, I don't gamble to chase a direction,  because be it loses or winning,  whatever direction that may not favour my timing limits,  is already a red flag that can lead to a more unfavourable outcome in the long run.

I can't make a list, but in simple terms, i will simply say that, no one should gamble irresponsibly, if we search online, like google or maybe go over several threads on this board and also in the gambling board, we will find a lot of discussions which are centered around responsible gambling, knowing everything about responsible gambling and sticking to these rules is the best way to gamble problem free.

For example, coming into gambling with a mindset of making millions overnight can very detrimental, and can lead a person into betting and losing money he or she never planned on losing, chasing after loses, borrowing to gambling is one op have already mentioned, gambling while drunk is another that can lead to a lot of regrets later when the intoxication have cleared or left the gambler, he or she did realize that he or she have gambled away money he or she never planned on spending on gambling out of intoxication.

And also, don't spend too much gambling every day, gambling affects the brain, and this is how addiction is formed, take out time to engage in other activities so that there will be a balance.

This are the few i can think of at the moment, will comment more as i remember them.

It’s true,the gambler can’t satisfy with the profit made by them on the specific time.The gambler will target the next money after the first target was satisfied in the betting.Until the gambler learn the way of satisfy with the minimum profit,he never learn to survive in the gambling for the longer period of time.The game like the dice will make your wallet increase and decrease based on the continuous betting,untill you get satisfy with the certain amount of the profit.The gambler will force to loss the entire money to the gambling sites.Then balancing the gambling sites for the complete loss of dollars deposited on the gambling sites is no use.

  If you do not have impulse control, and you can’t control your emotions just don't.  If you just have to, decide what you can afford to lose, shorten that by 25% dividing the remainder by the number of days and that is what you can lose per day. You win any, take half of that and put it back-untouchable. The idea of borrowing to gamble should not be thought of because at that point it starting to become a problem.  The urge to chase losses by making larger bets in an attempt to recover can lead to even bigger losses. Avoid this behavior, as it often results in further financial strain.
  If you find that your gambling habits are causing significant financial or emotional distress, it might be helpful to seek professional help. There are therapists, counselors, and support groups that specialize in gambling addiction. It is better to speak to someone about the impulsive behavior, so that you can get their own say about the situation. Gambling can’t save you we should remember that.

Yes and that's what is unfortunate, not all gamblers can control themselves when gambling, so many gamblers do not realize that they have lost a lot of money just to fulfill their desires with the aim of getting a big win that is difficult or even impossible to get. Because there are already bookmakers who arrange it, if they get a big win, they are just lucky.

And that has become a common thing for addicts, with a sense of dissatisfaction so they continue to play until they get a big win even though they only lose.

i bet those people who are living in this kind of cycle will learn their lessons hard. they will probably be in deep debt from loan sharks where they can't pay it anymore even if they need to pawn everything they have. or his family life will be in ruin because of this activity. in short, he will have a very serious matter on hand that will truly be life changing because of his gambling activities.

This is the initial conclusion that indeed the impact of gambling is very large, besides being able to adversely affect a person's finances and mentality, it is also very likely to make changes to a person's character, as you said that by trapping someone in this cycle makes them finally like a fool, not wanting to work in general to earn income and all they want is to gamble in the hope of getting a win that will be used as income. Honestly, when someone has entered the addiction phase then anything is possible for them to do, that is what is meant by out of control actions.

Borrowing money just to gamble in the hope of winning honestly makes no sense at all, as long as I gamble I never think of borrowing money just for the sake of gambling, because of course all the final results always depend on luck and also on the other hand there is no guarantee to always win. Therefore it is very important for anyone before gambling to understand all the risks that can occur, with that I think they will not have an irrational mindset like borrowing money to gamble. Borrowing money just to gamble in my opinion will only make them even worse with the many problems that continue to occur, and also as you said it will only make them get into a lot of debt without knowing how to solve it.

The cycle is too hard to break, not just hard. I've seen people around me doing that thing, they wouldn't work or find a job to earn a living and think and dream of earning a living through gambling, so they would usually borrow money and take loans and gamble with it in the hope of winning something significant, pay the debts and use the remaining money on personal expenditures and everything, but the result? Losing all of it in no time without getting anything.

What's ironic is that they don't stop after losing the first loan, and they go ahead and take more loans, higher amounts this time, pay the previous loan, and use the remaining money on gambling again, hoping that they might manage to win more than what has been borrowed so that the loan is repaid and there is money left, but, we all know the result at the end of the day.

They cannot control the greed that's one thing for sure, when you think you can add more in your winnings you will keep trying to win more,
and when losing streak start to show up, the control inside you is no longer active.

You will keep placing your bets and you will experience the bad side of gambling, you will see that your bankroll is empty and instead of quitting before you lose everything you decided to keep playing and the outcome is no longer on your favor and everything you earn is now back int he hands of the house.

Yes, that's right. it's one of the important factors in gambling, because if you don't have it, there is a high probability of excessive addiction, but if we have it, it is less likely to become addicted. There are many important points that must be possessed when gambling, one of which is self-control that must be applied to oneself to be able to limit the game so that it will not or can avoid addiction.

Now if like that, they are among the gamblers who cannot control themselves, why is that? because continuing the game when after they win, there is nothing wrong with that, but most of them when they continue the game and they lose with the winnings they get also run out, they cannot accept that, so they cannot accept the risk properly.
