Topic: When you are not to gamble. - page 38. (Read 6757 times)

I'm trying to grab something out from this but I am finding it difficult. Like, have you been practicing this and it's working perfectly for you? I know having a daily limit of amount to spend gambling can help one from reckless gambling but I think setting a target to be won in a day doesn't sound good to me because it might push you to gamble beyond your limit. You may probably lose all the little winning you have in a day simply because you want to chase the target you set to be won before closing for the day. I would just advise someone to set a budget of what to be spent and not what to be won instead. Greed is one thing killing most of the gamblers and this very strategy you suggested might just trigger it and take away the fun of gambling since you already have the target amount you want to hit.

If a person needs money, they are clearly doing the wrong thing and need to reevaluate their life. If a person tries to recoup his losses in gambling, it means that he is not able to control himself and he needs to work on himself instead of gambling.

I am sure that such people will blame gambling for all their problems. They will never take responsibility for their actions. I would not recommend gambling to such people, because of their actions many people have a wrong opinion about gambling.

Maybe when a person is not really a gambler, when they really need a large amount of money, they always think of gambling because they think they can collect a lot of money if they are lucky. But they don't think about what if they lose?

This is what often happens in the real lives of the majority of gamblers in the field of online and physical casinos. I know many people who have done that before but did not win what they expected in gambling.

It is a very relevant, seemingly simple but quite effective way to try to stop gambling addiction. The initial purpose of gambling is to relieve some stress in the mind, by spending a little money and time, hoping to get some pleasure. But many then lose control of their emotions, act greedily by wanting to win big, or if they have already lost money then want their money back. A cycle that then becomes addictive, the initial goal of having fun is forgotten. I think if you want to stop being a gambler, it is better to stay away from that environment for a while, and reduce Smartphone use.

However, everything will come back to each individual, meaning that all the tips for stopping will just be words if you don't have complete self awareness. It is important to look a little further ahead, imagine what position you will be in in the future, and what it will be like if you continue to be a gambling addict. If someone finds a way of thinking like that, I think it will make it easier for them to stop those activities, of course that is very easy to say but difficult to do.

Thank you for the input you have provided and it may be useful to the community, but in reality what you convey in this thread seems to be almost the members of the community who are very aware. except, perhaps for new members or gamblers. from the first point and the last point, we agree with that. even as I said, there is nothing wrong with what you said. we are absolutely fundamental, every risk in gambling is regardless of the type of game or features available. the problem is, in practice it's not as easy as you say. this is precisely where the challenge lies for us gamblers, applying the rules or points as you said in this thread. not infrequently, we as gamblers often find it difficult to stop gambling sessions even though they are no longer enjoyable. I mean, I'm experiencing a losing situation many times. at this point, to end the game so that we don't spend our bankroll again depends on how much self-control we have. how do we have to involve other variables so that we don't end up experiencing defeat which ends up being very detrimental. as you can conclude, gambling should be fun. but to avoid it so that it doesn't become a problem. not only knowing and understanding the points you mentioned.  because, it requires a broad understanding of gambling itself. plus, responsibility gives birth to self-control. the point is, remember the limits of what we can afford. thus, gambling will not be a big problem in the future.

Yes, that's a good conclusion that you came to, because fun places will usually make us spend money, not the other way around. Maybe the difference is that our fun will increase when we win gambling, I won't be hypocritical about it. Obviously don't make gambling a means to make money because that's not the place. Those who can make money from gambling are the bookmakers and when we are a player then it is impossible.

Many people have misunderstood this, where they think to make more money. Even when they win, it is actually their own money that they have spent during their gambling, even in my opinion the amount is not worth what they spend.

You are also right that this is a repetitive cycle that gamblers have, those who are already addicted will find it difficult to leave gambling. as long as they still have money to play with, then they will continue to gamble until they realize that all the money is gone because they continue to gamble endlessly. That's why it's so dangerous when we've been brainwashed by the expectations of gambling.

I agree with what you say, because basically I am a person who, when I don't have money to go to the casino, I simply don't go, I'm not interested and I know how to handle that, but there are people who find it hard not to be able to play, If this happens, then there really is a problem in your weight that you cannot control. If this happens, you would have to put things in another aspect just to avoid suffering the consequences of a possible addiction. Addictions are what because it could happen to a person.

My advice is that when you can't play or don't want to play for whatever reason, you have to listen to it, not insist because it will surely be lost. Sometimes we are indisposed, or sometimes we really want to play but we don't have money , and It's better to hold on and not make mistakes, sometimes we lose money in such a bad way that sometimes we Believe that we have no forgiveness for having done so, but it is all about learning.

The truth is that whenever you have a reason to play gambling to gain money , their are high possibility that you may end up losing.  When their is a reason to play gambling to make money  your mind wont be in the right state because you seriously need money and it will be so bad if eventually the outcome of the game unsuccessful.  Gamblers needs to learn gamble is not a game that you can put your hope on because it is always unpredictable which people need to play with amount they can afford to lose and play without having much expectation from it. Expecting much from gambling is what makes people to be down and get emotional when they lose.

It is not only necessary to stop gambling after losing money, but also after winning money. Many people struggle to quit after a win because they want to keep going and strive to win even more. However, this is a hazardous cycle since there is no assurance that they will continue to win, and it is quite easy for them to lose everything they have achieved. Setting a profit cap is an excellent approach to avoid this, since it allows people to enjoy their wins and walk away while still ahead.

From the conclusion, it can be concluded that gambling only needs to be used as a place of entertainment, not a place to make money, because literally entertainment places are for fun, not for making money, except for those who sell games. If you want to make a profit, then you have to be a seller of services or whatever in that place.

Your three points are a cycle that will repeat itself and become a bad gambler so that it will spin in a vicious zone with unclear expectations of where reality is logically going.

I agree with your statement.

A lot of the mishaps that happen in a given gambling activity is when the player gets too greedy after they have incurred a win. They tend to feel that their initial reaction to such win is to test their luck again which can ultimately turn the tables against them. This is what I call the "cycle of gambling" where a person who gambles, regardless of the result, would gamble again. If they lost, they will try to recover such loss; and if they won, they will try to test their luck and to see if they will win.. and so on.

I just hope that people realize that gambling should be approached with careful moderation and extreme care due to its nature. If you really plan on making it as an avenue for extra income, then STOP as soon as you have incurred some profits along the way.

Good point you have mention to the op but I want to add one more thing that is add also limit on your wining like when you will do gamble then set a amount if you won that amount on that day you will leave you gamble for that day. I think it is also important to hold the profits because some times when we do gamble we get in to trap of greediness and then they also try again after wining a good amount on gamble and by this at the end of the day they lose all their fund.

The thing that a gambler needs to focus on before gambling is to control his greed. If a gambler has the ability to control himself in any situation, his chances of losing will be reduced. Gamblers should avoid gambling at certain times. If gambler loses his control in those areas, he will lose. I agree with the points you mentioned. In gambling, if one tries to recover his losses quickly, he will definitely lose that money. And many people see the accumulation of money and they become interested in gambling, I think this is nothing but a foolishness. Because the gambler is not guaranteed to win if he loses there is a possibility of losing the last possession.

One thing most gamblers do not understand is that chasing losses mindset can be incredibly destructive leading to even more losses and capable of landing someone into financial ruin. Some people don't even know when they fall into this trap, they realize it when it's already too late to turn back and I happen to have been one of such persons. It's very important for every gambler to have a great level of self control when gambling so you know when you're gradually falling into the loss chasing trap. Instead take your time to earn income from other sources to recover the losses caused as a result of gambling and not to keep pushing further and further.

But in this forum, gambling addicts are more likely absent. Why would they waste time interacting in this platform if they are being obsessed of actually playing? People here are simply players who wants to discuss about gambling activities and that includes what's good and not in this industry. For sure everyone knows how dangerous it is to allow oneself be too hooked or attached with gambling but why do some people still fall in such situation? Greed and gambling ideologies.

Unfortunately, gambling is often misunderstood as a way to get rich quickly. We all know how fast money moves in this activity. You could earn thousands of bucks in a single game if you're lucky. Problem is being "lucky". No one has control of their luck and fortune and this fact is often being disregarded pushing people to live in this industry.

When to gamble and not? I'd say never gamble if you can't bear with the reality behind gambling. If you are still one of those who has ideologies of how gambling could make you rich then it is better to stay away from it as early as possible. Fact check: If being rich in gambling is an easy thing to achieve, why are many people losing huge amounts of money, properties, or even themselves on their journey? It should be an enough warning to all of us.

I am exactly into this second scenario here.I have about 2 weeks without gambling a lot and only very little money so quitting your massive sessions for longer periods of time sounds like a heal potion like those old Rpg games say to such persons.It will make you stronger the longer you are able to resist and if you are also able to withstand the inner desire to gamble you are then 90% healed from the gambling problem.

i remember that there was someone who needed money for his mother's treatment, instead of looking for a loan so that he could have enough money to pay for his mother's treatment, he instead gambled the money he had with the aim that he could double it. but unfortunately instead of increasing, the money ran out due to him gambling, and in the end he sold the assets owned by his mother to pay for medical treatment.

from this case, we can learn that gambling is not a way to earn money when you need money for something urgent, because gambling carries the risk that your money will most likely be lost and for something urgent, never risk it.

Unfortunately you didn't get the right viewers, users in this board already read a lot thread about how to not be a gambling addict, how to cure a gambling addict, signs of gambling addict, how to manage money, how to become a responsible gambler etc.

But there are still a lot addicts out there, take a look with people around you, one of them could be a gambling addict.

Actually it a very good way of managing your gambling habits, so that it  wouldn't leads to addiction if I must confess, but to me, the rule that Is most important to me, which I don't take lightly is the rule of  gambling with what you can't afford to lose.

To me it's the worst of them all, because when you gambes what you can't afford to lose and things doesn't goes your way, it always put you in trouble in one way or the other, and it's what always makes people, especially the addictive gamblers to lose more, hoping to gain back what they have lost, so I will advice that we try our best not to gamble with what we can't afford to lose for our sanity.

The best break from gambling is a break for the rest of your life. And then there is no dependence, and no problems.

Are there times in life when you don’t need money urgently?

There will be no losses if you don't gamble.

Frustrations in casinos are inevitable.

Gambling brings pleasure, but only to its owners. Gamblers provide them with a luxurious life.

Gambling is already a problem from the very first moment. Once you take this path, this road will lead to only one ending. And with a 99% probability it will not be a jackpot and a comfortable future.
