Topic: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? - page 9. (Read 1956 times)

Yes that's true, and in my opinion it can all happen depending on everyone's personality and their goals in gambling, but yes I also wouldn't say that all of that is true, because like most cases that have recently often happened that even though you come with the intention of just entertainment along with having prepared all the restrictions for prevention material but I say all of that can't always rule out the possibility that in the end you will forget everything and continue to play even though the final result is still losing, It's not other than all that you do because your mindset has been disturbed or instigated by what is meant by opportunities that are driven by temptation that makes your mindset finally change drastically without you realizing it.

This is where the importance of being a responsible gambler, because in my opinion if you have full responsibility and are not too serious in terms of expectations then I think all of the above can be minimized a little, and also yes as I said above that this also depends on a person's character, because if they have a character that is easily provoked or emotional then I am sure you will easily do things out of control when the final result is not to your liking. Understanding what gambling is also needed, it will be a reason for you not to chase defeat there because there is no guarantee.

It doesn't make sense does it? yes I also never thought why someone could have such a mindset, of course it is a very silly action, although I can't blame but try to be more realistic in seeing this gambling. If you really want to borrow for other emergency needs for the benefit of your life and get out it's no problem and go ahead because there are benefits that you will get, but if you borrow with the aim of allocating to gambling I think it's really a ridiculous act, how can you be so sure of the final result? Of course as usual that the casino has made a system so that losing always dominates and winning only happens occasionally, everyone has proven and that is the fact why now many people are in a cycle of addiction.

Yes, psychology is the basis of a person's addiction, and besides that, the driving force is in terms of hope and opportunities in gambling that make them continue to think the same that someday they will be able to get a victory to restore the defeat in the previous time. Basically what makes the system is the casino and the casino wants you to lose because your defeat is an advantage for them, so in my opinion by understanding that alone it is very clear that no matter how hard you try to get a win, the final result is usually not as expected.

The casino has set us up through the system they created, they wash our mindset until finally addiction, and there is nothing else that can prevent that from happening is like you said self-control and some other restrictions, we must be able to create our own rules for the good of ourselves in particular so as not to overdo it and for the way is that there is nothing else but just self-control and full responsibility for everything you will do. It is better to put a small amount, the point is that if you do lose then you will not experience mental and psychological stress, and also with that you will not enter a very bad addiction phase. 

what is clear is that we must be able to avoid gambling with borrowed money because it will create new problems for ourselves, chasing losses is fine as long as we are able to bear it and at least use personal money instead of using borrowed money.
there is a lot of advice that reminds us to use money that we can afford to lose so we don't race to chase those losses because we use them willingly.
Gambling addiction does have a sad impact, especially if you are forced to take out a loan just to catch up with the loss and it is possible that you will not be able to catch up and it will actually result in bigger losses.

I would like to add a few things based on my own experience and knowledge about what to consider when gambling;

First of all, gambling should never be done using borrowed money or credit card balance. Gambling is an activity where, unfortunately, there is a higher chance of losing money as it is a very risky form of fun and has a serious impact on a person's thoughts. For this reason, gambling should never be done with borrowed money.

It is absolutely necessary not to gamble when we are under stress or when we feel emotionally bad. Feeling emotionally bad or under stress increases the possibility of loss as it causes more mistakes to be made. Additionally, in case of a possible loss our current stress or emotional state is affected worse.

In addition, it is very important not to gamble when we feel bad financially or are going through bad times because the ambition to make money will cause more mistakes to be made and will also have a bad effect on our financial situation in case of a possible loss.

Finally, it is very important not to gamble especially at work. Gambling at work negatively affects work performance and is also a time when mistakes are likely to occur. It will also be a bad factor for business performance in case of a possible loss. For this reason, I definitely think that gambling shouldn't be done at work. In order not to have a worse job performance and to avoid making potential mistakes due to work intensity, gambling should not be done during working hours or at work.

A gambler must know his priorities.  Once in a gambling session, a gambler must not lose the track of time.  He should always be aware on how long he had been playing.  Together with it is know that there are other responsibilities in life.  So a gamble should not ignore other responsibility in gambling.  just line watching movies, or having a party, gambling activity must have a time limit in order for a gambler to do other responsibilities in life.

This kind of activity also reduce the risk of being addicted to gambling because a gambler has diversion.

in your life, you are obliged to have things that you keep secret and cannot be made public, especially if you are an employee in a large company and are in the finance division, to be honest, if i were the boss of a large company, i would immediately fire employees who gamble, i don't want the work environment to be contaminated by gamblers, usually people who are addicted to gambling have narrow minds so keeping them away from the work environment is a perfect move.  and in number 2 you are also right, don't gamble with borrowed money, you will only lose more and more money, the lenders will continue to charge you.

Find those things by yourselves. We can't generalized those things with each other as we are working and living in a different environment. We also have our respective own strategies and approach on how we do gamble in general.

Those things you are looking will be based on our own personal gambling experience. Newbies and newcomers in gambling won't even understand what are those things since they didn't even understand yet the emotion they will probably experience while doing gambling.

As you gamble continuously, you will eventually learn what are the do's and don't when doing gambling.

I was gambling in my workplace before now, it was a soccer bet, it wasn't easy, adding the stress of work and combining it with gambling will never allow you to concentrate, if you love your work desist from such act, because it can make you lose your job if your employer or your supervisor eventually find out, the truth is, is never easy to control this stuff if it has eaten deep into a person, losing a bet in your workplace as a gambler will make you lose concentration, as a worker involving yourself in gambling activity during work hours should never be an option, just make sure you do this at home to prevent you from being sacked or suspended indefinitely.
The aspect of borrowing to gamble, that will be the worst decision for any gambler, just think of it, what if you lose how will you pay back, this is not a good idea for any gambler.

Self control is one factor that can lead a gambler into playing responsibly because you take your time and do proper analysis before staking a bet and incase you lose, you are still okay with it and since you have not gambled as you can not afford to lose then there won't really be the need to chase back the losses but most gamblers don't have this good character of gambling.

Most times the case with gamblers is that after they win, they still continue to play at same day and unfortunately the profit goes back to the casino because indeed gambling is a luck game and the house edge always prevail. Luck seldom come.

Gambling at your workplace shows how irresponsible one can be when it comes to gambling and how they can't control their habits. When you can't control or limit the areas where you can spend time at the gambling site, how much more can one control their wager limit?
 
Our workplace is our major source of income, and we should not use the pleasure and fun we want to derive from gambling to affect our income. Most people always make this mistake, and this is one thing that has landed most people in trouble: either losing their jobs or getting suspended as a result of not paying attention to what's happening in the workplace.
 
It's always important for all of us to have our own gambling time and working hours; it can also help us focus more on predicting our games and don't make mistakes in our choice of option to wager.

Yes, after all, if borrowing to return to gambling with the aim of chasing losses or winning is impossible because it does not guarantee that they will win, instead they will lose more money and will increasingly look for loans here and there and in the end the gambler's life becomes unsettled because he has debts here and there. As you said, it will only add to the problem and become a future thought because it must be paid off. Most gambling addicts are like that, when they run out of capital they will sell what they have, and when they run out they will take loans to return to gambling, but this is not a good solution.

With good self-control, it will probably minimize the chances of addiction, for example, when they win there they immediately cash out not continuing the game because they know they will lose in the future if they continue, this is one example of self-control. And of course it will also provide good things for themselves.

Of course it is unhealthy when a gambler just have to take a seat at anywhere gambling table is sighted.
One must be disciplined that even if you have the chances of free stakes and the very time wasn't according to your gambling schedules according to your time frames, you just have to walk away
Being a responsible and a reputable gambler earns one public respects and saves me more of looses at where you can take diligent control of your gambling routine.

As long as I know, gambling at a work place is irresponsible because it could jeopardize your job by dividing your attentions and can also earn you profitlessness at where you may gamble with a colleague til you gets exhausted and not just from your budgets which the frustrations may trigger you to even place some stakes on credit where it would affect your salaries in advance because debits had to be paid.

Again is gambling in your neighborhood. Gambling in a neighborhood is one bad project for you too because at any given chances you are right sitted before the gambling ground.
Sometimes you would just want to walk down to the gambling ground without having a dime with you for stakes and you began looking around familiar faces to borrow you some money for stake because you feels that you sights winning and surely would win probably you found some visual errors and winnings since you are outside the table

Gambling with borrowed money? No way. It leads to failure. Borrow money, gamble, lose - what next? You're in debt. Gambling losses add to debt. The cycle is hard to break

Complex psychology underlies gambling addiction. Not simply the excitement of the win, but the illusion of control and the assumption that the next wager will be the big win. However, gambling chances are always against you. The house is winning-oriented. Their business survives that way

So, the answer? The key is self-control. You need rules. Set a gambling budget you can lose without ruining your life. Commit to it. No matter what. Discipline and risk management are key. Gambling should be fun, not profitable. When money enters involved, you're in danger

When you're gambling online it's important to do a few things. First don't try to win back money you've lost by betting more. Stick to your budget instead. Second don't disregard TOS always check and understand the rules about bonuses, taking out money and how the games work to avoid any surprises. Lastly it's super important to set limits on how much time and money you spend. If you forget to do this it can lead to gambling problems. So take breaks and set limits. Bye.

Yes exactly it will put harmful effects on your work because your concentration will not be in work but you will think to maximise your money. Giving much concentration to gambling is also very bad because you will create addiction towards gambling and leaving it will become hard for you.


No one should take laon for gambling because if you have no control on your gambling budget then how you will control your emotions to take laons from others. Once a person take loan then he will repeat this habbit again again which will lead him to be a bad gambler.

That's right, that method is really not recommended, borrowing money just to gamble is the most reckless way in my opinion, how can they have that kind of mindset or way out to realize their desire to gamble, while on the other hand as you said that gambling is nothing more than a profit - profit activity. That method will only add a lot of problems, that's for sure because obviously if it turns out that you lose then you will be confused about how to replace the money you have borrowed, and after that there seems to be no other way except to borrow again to other people to cover the previous debt.

In my opinion, usually people like that are none other than because their level of addiction is so high that they cannot consider anything they will do. Yes that's right buddy, so it's true that self-control is very important, because that's the only thing that might help them to be able to control and consider every decision they will choose. Setting an amount that will not be a problem if you end up losing is better, rather than you putting a large amount but the end result is still losing.

I have previously said that things can change when someone gets into gambling, something good can become worse, as you said, a gambler will lose control when tempted by any opportunity, just like being tempted to do things that go beyond the limits of ability and this situation is very It often happens or worse when gamblers have planned everything to avoid any risks that occur in gambling but all of this is ignored when they experience consecutive losses and become emotional and continue betting with the desire to recover losses.
so for me, something that is very important to avoid in gambling is simply not to give in to any emotional situation or desire that could pose a risk of too big a loss.

Of course, and I say self-control or boundaries are not only important but very important and in my opinion it is mandatory for all gamblers to have, none other than because gambling runs randomly by relying on luck alone, so that is already a very strong reason why we must have self-control and boundaries every time we gamble. And also yes indeed it will be very useful to minimize all the possibilities that are not wanted, the fact is that everyone does not want to lose and all they want is victory, so there is no harm and it is the right alternative for us to apply limits there. Yes that's right, the main thing that gamblers should understand is the basic concept that exists in gambling, which is that everything is always random and only relies on luck without any guarantees, with that and if they understand everything then I think there is no reason for them to act out of control.

Well yes, that's right, it seems like that, most of them already know about the risks that can occur, but the problem is that they don't want to lose and are selfish to win, and also on the other hand they are too serious in seeing the opportunity, so with that it is very possible for them to act carelessly and out of their control. Basically, it is very difficult to achieve awareness if they are already very tempted by the odds of gambling.

Taking out a loan to gamble is a very bad thing to do because borrowing money just for good luck in gambling will certainly create additional problems for us if we lose at gambling and we cannot pay it back because we lost at gambling. If we have experienced an addiction to gambling, it will make us sell what we have just to be able to fulfill the desire to gamble and we will lose everything we have because we cannot avoid the desire to gamble. If we want to avoid gambling addiction, we must be able to control it. ourselves when gambling and also have to set a budget amount for our desire to gamble, if we cannot do this I think we will lose everything we have because we cannot control ourselves and also our desire to gamble.

People end up this way when they are addicted. Addiction is a very bad and strong factor that ties one down and get them to retrogress in life. Both smoker, drunk etc and gambling is worse off because it keeps leading you to try more despite your loses.

Like what you narrated with your sister cousin who lost her house. It is quite easy to lose your property when they are used as collateral for gambling because there is no winning guarantee in gambling and so when you go to the bank or other individuals to get a loan in collateral with your house, it is as good as gone immediately you lose and can not redeem at the time of agreement.

So the lesson here is to avoid being addicted because it leads into improper and half baked idea and that brings you down immediately it fails like taking loan for gambling with your house as collateral. She is not alone in such an inept decision.
