Topic: What I've learned so far as a gambler - page 5. (Read 2698 times)

This is one of the hardest task to evade as a gambler.... When once a gambler wins, it's a ticking time-bomb to explode and find other innovative ways (if not the same route) just to win more and more... Sometimes, they know too well the intricacies of gambling again, but they still have that inward, daft feeling that everything's gonna be okay... How???

okay... In a case where the gambler wagers everything and nothing shows forth, what happens??..

I think that all these bad habits certainly have a bad effect on human health. But many people cannot imagine their life without smoking a cigarette every day. Same with gambling. It was interesting to look at the statistics, but I think that the global gambling turnover is increasing every year. I would like to know how long this will last, because many people end up suffering from the fact that they have lost a lot and after this families break up, and the addicted gambler must be sent for compulsory treatment.

Over my years of gambling, I have understood a lot, but one of the main things is that we and only we control the size of our bet. We are responsible not only for ourselves, but also for our family. Therefore, if we do not limit ourselves in the game and play a responsible game in which we know our loss limit for this evening, then we can call ourselves a weak player who will lose everything in the end. Remember this and learn from the mistakes of other gamblers.

Same story from most gamblers.

We will never get that profit if we're not contented in the first place. Whether it is a hundred dollar profit or less than that if the gambler doesn't see its worth by that time, they won't withdraw it.

That's the difference of greed for them as per description. If it helps them to have that satisfaction at the end, that's good for them but for the majority, it doesn't really do any good.

It is similar to the tobacco or alcohol industry. Companies active in these fields make their revenues from those addicted to these substances, not from those who consume them with caution. The only difference with gambling is that gamblers have the possibility of being lucky one time to win, while other sectors are purely consumer sectors and there is no benefit to the consumers.
Despite the small number of consumers of gambling services compared to other sectors such as alcohol and tobacco, it is considered a promising sector and capable of providing fantastic profits, even with a small number of users.

The gambler should learn to live like the Phoenix bird who raise again and again in the sun.It was the story in many circle of the world,once their was the bird which fly towards the sun.As we know the birds doesn’t have capable of making the fly in sun,this over heat cause the birds to die after nearing the sun.But every time the Phoenix will get the new soul from the dust of the birds.Like this the gambler should start from the ground to reach the top winners list in the gambling site.The self confidence was the essential one to get into gambling after the big money loss in the same gambling site.The reason is the gambler get huge experience along with the loss.

We all want to win, and the desire to win is part of the game, and if we don't enjoy the game, we can't try again next time. There is no bad thing about trying to win; the only place where I see something wrong is when someone allows their desire to control their decision and their gambling habit.
 
We can still be lovers of the game with a high desire to win and still be in control of how we gamble. It's possible, although it's easier said than done, but everything is just based on self-discipline and control, and nothing more than that. If you decide to be in control, you can be in control of why you love the game, and anytime you win, you take it that way and still hope for that big win you desire.

Casinos do indeed thrive on the revenue generated by avid gamblers, especially those who exhibit addictive behaviors. Casinos are designed to be profitable enterprises. Their business models are carefully crafted to ensure sustained revenue, and a significant portion of this revenue comes from people with addictive gambling tendencies. Casinos have the infrastructure and resources to attract a diverse range of patrons.

The actual number of regular gamblers may be relatively small in comparison. This imbalance allows casinos to generate substantial profits even if only a fraction of their patrons are frequent, because they are high-spending gamblers. The concept of cautious gambling may not significantly impact the casino's bottom line. Cautious gamblers who set limits and approach gambling as a form of entertainment may not contribute big to a casino's profits as addicted gamblers who are willing to spend beyond their means. This discrepancy is not solely due to the actions of the cautious gambler but is also a result of the casino industry's reliance on addictive behaviors to drive revenue.

To be honest, I also feel that boredom, which means when the people we advise really don't follow what we have suggested. I have one friend who is also quite active in online-based gambling such as slot machines, in a week he can be involved up to several times, more or less maybe 5 times a week, he is one of my close friends who often spends time together and I am very tired of telling him that don't put greed and it's better to cash out when the situation is in his favor or he means he managed to get a win. But he always says "just a little bit more", he sets a winning amount, like $200 and when his winnings are still below that amount then he won't stop. A few minutes later I'd ask him again "has it reached that amount" and he'd say "it's all gone again" and I'd honestly just laugh at him. It happens a lot, and so the point is sometimes even though we have given advice quite often it always cannot be denied that the advice we give will be completely useful, greed really makes them like closing their ears and not listening to some of the advice that comes in even from the closest people.

Yes that's true, but sometimes there are always people who think that the greed that they apply at that time will be able to make them smile broadly at the end of the session in the sense of reaching the amount of victory they want, simply put is that they assume that "this time I will not be one of the people who are adversely affected by greed", that belief is always the initial problem. I think the main problem is in the expectations they put, if indeed they put excessive expectations on gambling then obviously something that we always consider dangerous maybe for them it doesn't hurt to try or even with a few tries, the cause is due to expectations that make their confidence even higher. But if we understand overall that greed can always be bad in any case then I think they will object to doing it and prefer to cash out early.

This is called cautious gambling and it is actually wise. But you must not forget that casinos reap the most profits from addicts, not amateur gamblers.
This would be clearer to see if we could get statistics on the number of active casinos versus the number of gamblers. I am sure that the number of gamblers is small compared to the number of casinos, which are considered large. The idea is that the casino can achieve large profits even with a small number of users, given that a significant percentage of them are addicts and will spend all their money.

It is indeed difficult to control gambling activities, especially when we can get pleasure and we may even find it difficult to stop ourselves from gambling. Playing poker requires skills to win against our opponents, and learning these skills is not easy, so we are always required to learn to improve our skills. We also have to remember to practice what we have learned to know what to study further and what else we need to learn. Having self-control when playing gambling allows us to enjoy gambling games and also know when we should stop gambling. With everything we learn, we try to become wise gamblers in gambling so that we don't lose a lot.

To be honest, I'm not sure you can control it, because it's quite difficult to leave once you're enjoying the game. 
Playing poker is an option to play fairly because you are playing against other players, not the dealer.
Once again, what we need to know is that gambling is not a suitable place for one hit one run.
The most important thing is how you control your capital so that it doesn't run out and can still enjoy the game for a long time.

If the benchmark for being a professional gambler is like what you are talking about, I think I am a professional gambler.lol

However, it is true that self-control and learning from mistakes when impulsive and compulsive behavior occurs when gambling is bad behavior, and we really have to be able to make ourselves aware when emotions peak and refrain from making another deposit when we lose, which I almost got a big win but just one mistake was ruined.

I have an interesting way to control yourself, namely meditation, this will trigger your logic and soul to evaluate whatever you have done, so that you realize the mistakes you have made and then you can anticipate making those mistakes. again in the future.

In fact, without trying to advise people, they will definitely learn from their experience in gambling, whether it's learning from losing and how to control their emotions properly when gambling. Professional gamblers started out as beginner gamblers who always experienced many mistakes in controlling themselves when gambling. That's what is called taking. lessons from failure because without failure we will never learn to know ourselves.

The way we know ourselves is to learn to understand how to control ourselves well when gambling. It is important to understand our character so that we can know what limits we have to make to be able to control ourselves, for example limiting each budget and time for gambling so that we don't get addicted to gambling easily, that's must be studied as a professional in gambling.

 Well, some professional gamblers really knows how to control theirself, they can manage well their finances and spending habits and I think they really learned from their past mistakes experience that's why they are used to it when they experiencing losses now. They don't need any advices from other people because believe me, they are aware. We can call them a professional gambler but we can't deny the fact that possible they have a chronic gambling addiction.

Actually a professional gambler has enough power inside him to control gambling addiction. He indulges in gambling himself but does not advise anyone around him to indulge in this addiction. A gambler gains so much experience from gambling that he perseveres despite repeated gambling losses. An experienced gambler has a good enough knowledge of how to earn profits. A good professional gambler is also well aware of the do's and don'ts of gambling.

It's natural because gambling is a game of chance, not a place to make money for sure, indeed gambling uses real money which hopes that gamblers can double their money even though it's not as easy as we see, like other people who can win large amounts gambling while we have There are different fates, there are those who experience continuous losses, there are those who have just had luck for a while. That's what is called gambling, luck is obtained randomly and those of us who play it don't get our hopes up too much if we don't want to experience disappointment.

For gamblers who are addicted, over time they will lose their wealth and for those who are able to control themselves even though they continue to gamble, this will not be a problem as long as they limit their expenses and do not spend large amount of money to satisfy their desire to gamble because the risk in gambling is losing.

Discipline in gambling is not simple for most gamblers. We read it every day, but practicing it can be a mission impossible. Due to the power gambling has on the human brain. When the losing streak follows, most gamblers won't be able to let go of the truth that they've lost in the process of gambling. Hence the game continues and even when they've won a certain amount of money, the gambler will still wager them back to the house. The self-control we are looking at as gamblers must be mastered or learned in gambling. Discipline should be the aim of gamblers, instead of money. If a player learns this, he'll be successful in every action he's about to take in life. After a few wins, I notice the brain sends out impulses that trigger me to wager more money, maybe the win could get bigger. Sometimes the instinct keeps battling with my predictions. Hence, leading me to think I'm not good enough in following my instincts.

But to a point, I found that in gambling following our instincts matters only when it tells us to stop gambling. But in terms of prediction, the house knows the trick they are using on gamblers to continue gambling. The main reason gamblers try again is that the game plays a number that we wanted to choose initially but tried another one. The player wants to get it right at all costs, believing it's his fault. But the game is controlled by the casino or the machined has been programmed to release a few wins after a player has wagered a certain amount, which obeys the house edge. Newbie gamblers need to understand all these and apply discipline as a strategy. Thereby developing rapport with the house. One can't learn what he's angry at doing or blame for his loss of money or condition. So if a gambler is performing well by enjoying the game, he'd love gambling and make good moves and predictions.

Yeah, we're even tired of telling the other gamblers to stop being greedy and when they need to stop, just stop completely so that they'll not wasting their money.

But that's how it is going for most of us, even if we're seeing people don't obliged with our advises, we're continuing to give them the advise that they need to hear so at least they've heard or read us give that tip of care to them.

Let us not give a number but let us say it this way that overall of it, the majority that are greedy doesn't end up good when they gamble.

But unfortunately regret always comes at the end of the action when everything is already answered, and of course regret comes to confirm that the actions they took before were wrong, after all it is not uncommon or even very many people who advise and recommend to avoid acts of greed, especially in gambling activities, sometimes not only in this field, even in real life if we put greed then usually the final result is more disappointing, so that's why the importance of being grateful for whatever we have got. Greed is like you're negotiating with fate where basically fate has already said that that's the amount you should get in that session but because you're not grateful and instead put greed into it then fate will say something else, which is defeat. Let me know if the analogy isn't quite right.

Yes although overall greed does not always result in something worse but still if the percentage of disappointment is more often due to greed then it is better for us to avoid it. True, regret will always be a painful thing, and of course as you said that we can make it a lesson so that we don't go back into the same hole for the umpteenth time. If they have fallen in the same hole several times then I guess I have to suspect their mental health.

They will do that as soon as they regret their actions. It's normal for all gamblers to experience all of these regrets and then by the next time we take actions, it is the better decision that we'll do.

Greediness will not bring us any farther.

It will only teach us to be the best decision makers because we don't want to fall with the same emotions that we have. If you fall for the 2nd, 3rd or more time.

You are aware of what you're doing and you are not learning from your experience.
