Topic: What I've learned so far as a gambler - page 9. (Read 2921 times)

We understand the exciting appeal of gambling, but its important to stress how dangerous it is. Indeed, gambling can be fun if done in a responsible way. More research is needed to find the real problem, which is lack of self-control. One tiny line separates fun from addiction. Actually, the trouble here isnt gambling itself, but being unable to control your greed.

Necessary is the skill to know when to "cash out". As wise people, we should have self-control; its not just about the excitement of the bet; its also about having the sense to know when to stop. This is a classic case of "winning the battle but losing the war". Understanding yourself is very important when you're gambling. Fun must be emphasized, but never at the cost of our health.

You should play on those platforms where you can be sure that nothing illegal is going on to reduce your chances of winning. We are supposed to be gambling for entertainment, to reduce stress and stuff like that. But it is very stressful to think the way you do and gamble at the same time. You better don't gamble at all if you think that apart from you already know something hidden is going on to make you lose.

Gambling is not something you will learn from someone because when someone teach you a gambling and you start losing money,  you will feel that person has done you wrong by teaching you gambling, that's what I understand in teaching someone gambling and rights now I don't reach anyone gambling because o know quite well that teaching someone I will be use to be blame in future time, it's good for whoever that wants to gamble to move forward to learn gambling by itself so that when problem comes up the person will blame itself not you, many people has been addicted in gambling due to consistency losing and they portion the blame to the person that introduced them in gambling.

Playing casinos is not the dangerous thing to do, we are the dangerous people that gambles without doing it the normal and expected ways, no one will be responsible for our being irresponsible when we are gambling, casinos are not to create negative influence in our lives, they are to serve us for many benefits we so desired, why should we take the whole fault made on our personal decision through our behaviours to the casinos for being responsible.

It can destroy your future if you don't control yourself. But if you are just playing for fun and entertainment and not to make gambling as your regular job, then you will be fine. Just the experience though, going into traditional base and the ambience and atmosphere, but be enough for some young gamblers to see how it feels.

So it really up to them whether to make it like a weekly for their friends to visit a casino. In online though, you are just alone in the comfort of your room. So no free drinks, everything is quiet, it's a different environment. And with that you can weight whether gambling is for you or not.

Don't be fooled by following greed that will make everything you have disappear. Greed will make everything a mess, especially our emotions that will become more aggressive to play with the lust that accompanies all the games will certainly be uncontrollable as a result can eliminate all the money in possession as well as the victory that has been obtained. The main problem is that they can't resist and can't fight greed well, and this becomes a serious problem, where addiction is the goal.

They must know when to continue playing or go all in and know when to cash out the winnings they get, if they can't fight the greed that is in them, chances are they will lose everything they have and of course the loss is also sure to feel themselves as well as frustration. They want higher because their satisfaction is still not paid off and the curiosity that exists makes them continue to bet without thinking that the winnings they have got are enough to cash out and enjoy.

As a gambler,I have learnt that playing a casino game isn't only bad for the health,but also a quick way of destroying your future.I know most gamblers will still have good things to say about gambling,but judging from the experience I have had about gambling,and the effect gambling has had on me,I will only advice people who are not yet into gambling that they should  not give it a try.This was not what I heard before I started gambling,I was only lured into gambling by my friend who never wanted to suffer in depression alone,he introduced me to gambling,and ever since then,my life hasn't remained the same in regards to my financial status.Therefore,the experience I have had on gambling is enough for me to tell beginners to run away from it,for your money and your future to be safe.

Are you saying that we should leave while making profits or is it about specifically doubling your money? But is it really enough to make 2x? And what if you put in less than $100
Should i leave casino if i gamble $5 and make 2x of it? Because $200 seems weirdly specific amount. And it's really subjective. Depending your wealth it could mean same as $5 to poor people, so that player don't even feel that they made any money. For some people it's just normal daily spending money, or hourly. And for someone less fortunate it can be salary of several months.

I personally don't see 2x:ing my money enough. Would someone leave crypto when they made 2x of their investment? I mean obviously some people would, but they would have missed out on actually making a fortune.

that's what gambling management made, to reduce risk and manage you mentally to play more and more over time. Let's just think the gambling as a game that will make you happy, don't burdening your life to increase your wealth from gambling, because it seems mission impossible especially if the player is still newly registered and directing it from referral. I think it's a global problem, and comprehensive if a new person in the gambling world just thinks of multiplying his capital in 1 night.

Greed is the ultimate enemy of a gambler. It is difficult to control the feeling of having more money. I do not expect a gambler to be very good at controlling that habit. But at least he should be able to know when to take a win instead of going all in. I get disappointed when someone who plans to double his money through gambling and at the verge of doing so, he loses some but at the end got back his money with extra profits on it. Yet he still continues gambling and later lost it all again. It's obvious that he has gotten extra or double his capital why do they always want more or expect to increase way higher than their initial plans.

True that, I already experienced this kind of situation multiple times that is why I have a limiter now that if I am able to win at least twice my bankroll, I  have to stop and withdraw the amount and play again next time.


Greed makes it difficult to stop even if a gambler wanted to stop and pocket the winnings.  HIs thought is saying he has to stop but somewhere on the back of his mind there is an  urge to just some more tries maybe the next set of spin will give him another good win., until his situation becomes chasing his losses.

I agree with you, when you've made some wins, maybe up to 100% depending on the amount you took to the gambling casino, be it online or a physical shop, you should be able to be contented with the win, casino was not created to make you rich overnight. But if you insist in playing more, you might end up emptying your account just to try recovering from the loss, and this greed is one of the major problem most gamblers have. I have seen cases where people even go as far as using their mobile phones to make a stake after emptying their accounts. This is the more reason we were told to gamble responsibly.

When you do really make some winnings then you would eventually be forgetting all the losses that you do have earlier and this is really something a very common thing or behavior of a gambler.
You wouldn't really be making out some learnings until you would really be able to experience those hard moments or situations in life on which it is really that something that pertains about
those having struggles when it comes to finances on which it would really be just that so normal that people will continue as long they do able to play since they do still have
the money that they could be able to do so, but on the time that they have none? For sure they would really be having that kind of realization in the end.

If you win once a day in gambling and it's a good amount, that's fine because you're really lucky to be called. But if you keep going because you think you'll be able to bring home a large amount of money, I think you're becoming greedy without realizing it.

When you think like that, that means that what you won will surely be lost little by little until eventually you will notice that you have lost a large amount because of a decision that, instead of stopping, you continued to play to gamble.

One example that proves how important luck is is when people decide to bet on the huge favorites only, but we all know how often it happens that just one favorite will mess it up. You could take some games from the last Champions League round or also in the leagues when everyone thinks that betting on the favorites in a parlay bet will get you some safe winnings, but no one team or player is going to wreck the bet. It could be a multitude of reasons, but in most cases the odds are well calculated and in favor of the casino, not the player.

We definitely agree that there are many different factors that come into play depending on the type of game preferred. No matter which game type is chosen, the only thing they all have in common is "luck" in the truest sense of the word. For example, as you mentioned analyzing various information is a very important factor for sports betting but the luck factor always has an effect in sports betting. A possible last minute changes, a surprise situation and many other factors are triggered by the luck factor. In other words, a bet that is thought to be perfect may be affected by this luck factor even if it is low and may result in a result opposite to expectations.

In summary, regardless of the preferred gambling method luck is a common factor for all but each method also has different factors within itself.

In my very personal case, I have learned that in most cases you must be patient, it is something that still costs me, but what matters in reality before having patience in a game and calmness, is to be careful not to waste all the money, the fact of knowing how to allocate money to the game is something that I learned and it has helped me for almost everything in life, not only in the game but to successfully manage any event in my life, that is one of the things that the The game also teaches one to think much more quickly when there are difficult situations, to make the right decisions and to see what can happen if I decide this or that, that is what the game has taught me, it has also taught me that not I must believe that I must gain my ability to play better from one day to the next, which is from several gaming sessions that teach us certain things, and that is what we should do.

Some will say, control your emotions, because that is something that is very difficult, the impulse above all and the possession of hope when we are in a very bad streak, I learned in the casino that when there are those signs of hope that goes away Winning when you are losing is what you should never do, learn that when there is a winning streak and after having terrible gains the moment you lose, I should retire and not insist that I should recover or do more, no, because everyone who does it, all of that goes away and can go further, because the person who falls into that trap always loses, and it is obvious, as I have said in other threads, the house advantage will always manifest itself, and no one player can make the house fall, a player cannot be above the house advantage, no matter how good he is, that is something that must be learned, also when he loses, he must suffer the loss, not play until another day, because this is the only way you can avoid losing more, and in each bet the money you lose is because it had to be that way.

If you bet a large amount, you must realize that the risk of losing will also be large, so you must be able to accept it if you lose. Many people cannot accept their losses and try to recover from their losses, which is actually normal, but what makes it unnatural is if they forget when to stop gambling and take their losses with them. He must be able to accept his loss and will not try to recover from his loss rather than accept more defeat. Becoming a gambler makes us learn about many things in gambling, not only about winning and losing but also about self-control, discipline, and others. If we cannot learn from what we experience or from other people's experiences, we will lose a lot, not only money but also time.

Interesting thing came to my mind - acceptance of defeat. If we convert it to gambling, it will be acceptance of a loss. This is the thing every gambler should learn. The understanding that it is enough of gambling for to day. Understanding not "to chase losses". Gamblers has to admin that they have lost today, and return tomorrow with a cold head. That is the most difficult thing to learn, as human are very competitive, they dont like to lose anywhere and to anyone.

Casino games especially slot games have to be played against a machine which is why you can't always win from here. And you can't easily predict when the machine will win you if you don't have long experience. And if you have long experience playing slod games then you have some idea that the machine can win you sometimes. Bet some big amount at that time and you can win big from there. And since slot games can win huge amounts with small bets, you can win very little from here.
