Topic: What I've learned so far as a gambler - page 14. (Read 2698 times)

I think the word wise sounds inappropriate when it is brought up in a discussion about gambling and what someone has learnt so far. I know that some will now argue against me, but wise is a big word. If someone says "it would be wiser to do this or that", that person recommends doing a lot of things differently or refrain from doing a lot of things and instead do other things. Going back to gambling regularly, believing that acting wise can change the outcome on a slot machine doesn't sound very wise to me. It is rational to understand that gambling is not for earning income, but for experiencing pleasure.

As a gambler, let me ask you this, do you feel something every time you gamble? Do you feel an excitement with every promotion or offer made by the casino? Gambling is indeed created to offer games and make a profit, but the one getting attracted to the casino is the gamblers who are getting mixed emotions and want to go back to gambling houses.

Your analysis of people who go to casinos is spot on, but it only scratches the top of how people think about gambling. Sure, those are the main types of gamblers: addicted, responsible, and fun. But what makes them do it? It's not just about keeping your feelings in check; it's also about the thrill and challenge! For people who gamble just for fun, it's a dance with chance, and the risks are just little pieces in a bigger game of fun. Gamblers who are addicted look for a way out or a rush, and they often don't care about the results. Which one is responsible? They use tools to figure out the odds and know when to fold.

The interesting thing is that gambling is a lot like real life. Taking chances and making choices when you're under a lot of stress. Okay, you say, just walk away and keep your cool. That's easier said than done! Controlling yourself isn't enough to be good at gambling; you also need to know how the game works, the people who play it, and most importantly, how you play it. There is always a fight, not only with the house but also with your own limits. Right there is where the real fun is.

If it is that easy to be wise in gambling then many gamblers could have been winners today. Not millionaires but they may be sitting somewhere in Hawaii drinking their beers.
But it's difficult to be wiser than the gambling site. Most of the time emotions consume us like greed, and ego, and could also be envy when we see someone share their winnings.
Madness will always get the better of us when we are losing, it's the time when we chase our losses while not thinking ahead. I think I have been in that position many times where all I can say to myself is to stop doing it but my hands will just keep on pressing the bet button because I want my money back.
It's wrong, foolish, stupid, and yet the feeling of satisfactory is also there especially if we achieved our goal which is to win back what was taken from us.

Most people will immediately think about getting a lot of money from gambling because they see several people who have succeeded in getting it. They also want to feel like they are getting money from gambling so they continue to gamble. They forget the concept of gambling, that gambling is only entertainment for everyone but they have to use money to get entertainment and if they want to use gambling as a place to make money, it won't be easy to get. Indeed, there will be a chance to win, but they should be able to think that the chance will not be too big compared to the chance of losing. And it is clearly different from business because in running a business, we have the opportunity to make a profit so we should not use gambling to make money. We should make money from a more promising business than gambling.

That's what we will get when playing gambling. If we are lucky, we will definitely win and vice versa. But some people are willing to accept the risk of losing even a lot of money because they still believe they can win one day so that makes them continue gambling. We must be able to think clearly to use gambling properly and not try to exceed the limits we have created. We have learned a lot as gamblers, both from our experiences and other people's experiences, so it should make us a little wiser than before, which will be useful for us in deciding to gamble and stop gambling.

It is possible that it can all happen or the point is that they can carry such a mindset because they want to get something instant, they think that they can get money instantly by just gambling and without having to sweat a lot like a real job, when on the other hand if they understand all the concepts of gambling and also with what is meant by luck I think they will not have such a mindset. Yes, I understand that there are winning opportunities that can surprise you and give you great excitement but don't let you equate gambling with real and promising business results, in business it is true that the more we struggle and try hard, there will be balanced reciprocity, meaning positive things or success but in gambling there is absolutely no such element, why? You should already understand that in gambling everything goes randomly for the results, and that is why the more often you gamble, the more you will lose.


Yes, that's for sure, whoever will not want to experience defeat, that's the importance of applying self-control, there is no other way you can do for prevention except just that, basically if you want to win means you also have to be ready to lose, don't just want to win but not ready to lose, because this is gambling not a business that has certainty for the final results of your struggle. So please think, all decisions are in your own hands, so with that I'm sure you also know what you should do if you don't want to experience the downturn like addicts.

There are actually some person's who visits casino for fun.
They basically make stakes all just to gear up for seriousness because if they seats on the gaming tables they are literally unserious so to take and accept it a challenge they just have to make some stakes and in such categories of persons wins, he doesn't really fill excited like winning an award and the other that looses doesn't really feel the lost because he has already projected such amount lost for a fun on the gaming table.
They probably might not be gamblers but yet spend their funds challenging the gambling tables.

I can then say there are 3 categories of persons that gets on the gambling tables which are>>>
*Addicted gamblers

*Responsible gamblers.

*Fun gamblers .

Aside this side of my view, it is always wise when you have to gamble tactically in the manner that you can take control of your exciting pace just as OP has illustrated else the game may turns biased against your excitements.

The art of gambling is basically >>> Learn to control your emotions either at winning or loosing. Learn to walk away and don't even tend to stay around like you are a referee else you would be tormented to getting on more staking to further your gambling. Such scenarios mostly ends up with "regrets".

Gambling. If it is considered as one of the most risky sports then I don't think it would be wrong because gambling is very risky. A single mistake in gambling can mean losing money in an instant. A gambler decides to gamble by accepting that he may lose his money.  Gambling is for a gambler who wins several matches in a row to amass a sum of money, then loses just one gamble and loses all of that money. In gambling we have to rely on luck as well as our own skill. Just as gambling does not depend on luck alone, a gambler cannot succeed in gambling with only gambling skills. In the case of gambling, you have to apply your skills to the maximum as well as luck should help you, only then you will get the desired results by gambling.

You wont really be thinking about harm if you are really that just playing for fun.If you are really that trying to look at on the amount you have spend out then it would really be making you that having regrets in the end. You wont really be that making yourself be ending up on a disaster if you are really just that responsible on whatever actions that you are taking.
As long you are really that responsible with your actions then you wont really be finding yourself on a situation or condition that you would really be experiencing
some problems. Be responsible and be aware on your actions then you wont really be finding yourself at great or huge trouble.

The gambling itself help us to learn the real life,like the gambling we should have ups and down in the real life.We are ready to face all the challenges in the real life,the immediate action in the gambling was more important one to get away from the big loss sometimes.The gambler should take the immediate decision like in gambling to our real life,So gambling teach us the real life lesson.Some experienced gamblers understand the fact,but the less experienced gambler will fail to understand the gambling and the real life.The mistake and correction was the two different phenomena need to learn by the good gambler.If the gambler ready to co-relate the gambling and real life,he will be the successful person in the real life along with the gambling.

That's the reality in gambling, you are trying to win such impossible games to win, that some gamblers end up losing all their money thinking that gambling more will end up winning big, which is obviously not true in gambling.

If there's one lesson that I've learned as a gambler, that is to never expect too much profits in it. The moment you start betting, you are already risking your money to lose. And if you're not lucky, you will lose your money consistently. If you are already in that state of losing, I suggest go for a break or just leave the house to cut your losses. Otherwise, you will only regret why you keep on betting and now you're suffering from a very big loss.

It should and ideally be like that if the reason is to get more money. Not to really just spend money for having fun. In this case, financial management is really needed in gambling, especially to protect ourselves from becoming addicted to gambling. I totally agree, try to stop when you feel like you've had enough, use logic and also good and wise management.

Because sometimes people underestimate the issue of gambling in casinos, they often say that it's okay to spend money on gambling, that it's not a problem to lose because they're just having fun and they still have a lot of money. However, if you don't have wise financial, risk and addiction management, then this can become a habit that cannot be stopped easily. There have been many gamblers who think like this and then become bankrupt because at first they were just trying to have fun, then became interested and continue to gamble until they experience a serious addiction. Maybe some people don't take this into account because they are confident in the wealth they have. But gambling addiction is not that simple. This can really make someone lose what they have so far if they can't control it wisely.

Of a truth, no matter how experienced you are in gambling or the number of years one has spent in gambling, it has done more harm than good. Gambling is purely game of chance as one may be lucky to win or not but however, Even if there maybe people who has achieved lots of success while gambling it doesn't mean they're perfect in it.  

Sometimes seeking advice from people that seems very experienced in gambling can be very risky because for the fact that they have recorded more successes in gambling might make you trust their predictions so much to the extent of staking huge amount of money with the hope that you will win so at the end of the day if the bet fails one might actually run into depression and confusion so the best is just to gamble as you can be able to endure in a case of losing your money while betting.

We can learn alot from other's people's experience in gambling because that is what we should always seek after than learning from our own mistakes which is apparently going to be in the hard way, we keep learning in life and not about gambling alone, but we have to always take advantage of every learning opportunities we have while gambling because some may be helpful to us and be a once in a lifetime.

Experience gamblers are always having something to tell us about gambling because they have been gambling for a very long time and there should be a lot we can learn from them. Gambling is not easy and if we want to be making profits from it, we need to keep gambling without greed because that has severe consequences on our gambling activities and the only way we can scale through is for us to remove greed whenever we bet. It is good going closer to those people that had been betting for a long time at least for us to learn from them.

Well, a calm or stable mind doesn't increase the chances of winning if you are playing slots because slot games are completely based on luck since the results are randomly generated using Random Number Generators and your mind or mood has nothing to do with that. A fresh and calm mind can be useful in games where your input in important and not in games where you are simply choosing the amount and pressing a button to get the results.

That's now how you say it, because you might win even with borrowed money, but it's not recommended because there are generally higher chances of losing your money than winning in gambling which is the reason why one shouldn't borrow money and use that for gambling since if it's lost, they will get in trouble if they don't repay the loan on time.

Actually, we or I can accept this idea, the only problem is that we will involve emotions in the game session and don't forget about that. Emotions will form when we have a gambling session, when we try to trick our own minds, but not with emotions. Let's just say we are in a bad week, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on the defeats we get, a feeling will arise that forms the emotion of anger. and, it can appear suddenly, especially when we are in the disappointment phase. losing, again and again.

I apologize in advance, that the facts are not as easy as we say. maybe we can overcome it once in a while, but if it happens repeatedly, it will still become a problem for our gambling. today we will, tomorrow too, the day after tomorrow and so on maybe. We never know when the right time will be to win, and defeat is certain. but it's not wrong if you try it, and maybe it will be effective for someone, even most gamblers. but not for me, I like to play as naturally as possible. without the need to deceive our minds, we know exactly what is actually happening. But, for once, there is no problem with this idea. In fact, it's okay to try and test. It's just that for me personally, it's no different from self-control. After all, basically, we will practice during betting sessions. Whether it is effective or not depends on each person or situation.

Do you know that some gamblers aren't after doubling their money? I have come across this guy with much ambition in gambling and his target is not to win hundreds and thousands, he is determined to win millions and I was surprised when that guy showed me his grand winning ticket. He won ₦6 millions which was in Naira currency and funny enough, he didn't stop there, he has won more than that amount since after the first grand ticket, there are gamblers that are not after doubling, but grand winning ticket.


Well, if you are playing casino I will say that your result depends on the mercy of the house but as a sport bad gambler, your winning depends of many factors like weather, the players, the stadium where event took place, the referees and possibly VAR as for football sports.

I don't think you need to be afraid of gambling if you are really determine to win. You wager a money which you had in mind if not coming back to you any more, why should you fear that you will still lose that money? Play what you want and enyoy the game, if it comes to you in double it's fine and if it does not, kindly move to the next game and try again or quit and give a rest for that day or week.

I used to watch a lot of hockey matches and was good at it, so I only bet there, and I even managed to earn more than I lost. I clearly understand that luck played an important role here. But then I stopped liking hockey and switched to watching e-sports games, and now I place bets there. Of course, I didn’t start making them right away, but only when I completely understood the teams and players, and besides, I myself play these games with friends. So your advice is very good.

To all of the above, I would add to use all promotions and read the rules of the game before the game itself, and not after it.

Personally, I'm not really a gambler, and I'm attracted to it. That's why a friend who always tells me that he often wins gambling only enticed me to try because I thought I might get lucky too.

That's when it all started, and when things like that happened, I experienced winning, but not as much as my friend's, which was a huge amount compared to what I won, which seems to be less than 1.4 of what he wins when he plays. That's the simple reason why I got into gambling here in cryptocurrency.
