Topic: When you are not to gamble. - page 39. (Read 6769 times)

Of the three points that the OP is trying to convey, I will only highlight one point, namely the third point regarding "Gambling under pressure or frustration".

Yes, I would say that quite a few of them gamble because they are experiencing stress due to work or when they experience some problems that can cause them to do so, then these individuals try to find pleasure by gambling. However, the fact is that when someone is in a state of stress, their emotions tend to be less stable so that later when they are gambling, it may be quite difficult for them to concentrate, in order to be able to make wise and fairly rational betting decisions. Which could lead to quite significant losses. And in the end, the gambling he did did not live up to his expectations, instead of getting pleasure, the gambling and losses he experienced made him feel even more stressed and frustrated.

I agree with what you said, if you are experiencing defeat, whether big or small, you should still take a break to calm your mind so you don't get carried away by your emotions. Because in my opinion, if you ever experience defeat and are forced to play continuously, your emotions will definitely increase and you will bet even bigger to be able to win a large amount, because you think that if you win you can cover your previous losses. So in my opinion it is better to stop and leave that place to forget all the losses you have experienced, otherwise you will definitely continue playing and be prepared to face the risk of losing the money you have more than before.

Gambling will only be good or will have good effects on people if only they start obeying instructions, you have done will to outline times that we shouldn't gamble but for it would have been better if you include when we should gamble too in the list.

Giving only one side is not proper so you should include but ways. BTW, in the aspect of chasing loses I think I have been a victim of that some time ago, when I lost little bit of my attention into gambling that I felt I could make all that was lost into gambling but at the end i did realize that I was only going to indebt my self more and loss the rest of my money into gambling. After from that I think I'm okay with gambling when ever I feel like since I'm not trying to make a living out of it.

It's hard to do that if they are deep into gambling because they have spent a lot of money, and a lot of time, and it's already in their habit that it's not easy to overcome this kind of habit, especially if they experience winning a large sum.

Those addicted to gambling still believe that they are still having fun, although people around them notice a big change in their demeanor, their action, and their habit
You need a lot of convincing from people they trust for them to undergo the rehabilitation process, and these people will agree to go through their rehabilitation this is why the family should be the one to intervene when they notice a drastic change in their behavior.

Before playing gambling you know already what the risks you should face, not all the time do gamblers win the game, on the first statement, if you don't have money you can call that for a day not all the time you see that making another deposit wins the game, people have a different experience in their gambling journey, once people already experience losses and would like to gain their money back they make a wrong decisions which is going into the second and third statement. Make conscious of your actions unless you don't worry too much about the money it's fine but if you are just a common people who don't have good assets to bring money and just play gambling to hoping win a large amount, you'd better have self-control.

Easy to say but tons of gamblers who do really end up miserable just because they hadnt been able to do such thing even if this one turns out to be basic but still people do really end up miserable due to those
kind of hopes that they could really be able to make themselves rich with gambling. Gambling should really be just that for fun and not for making money because once you do have this kind of mindset and belief in mind
then you would really be surely be ending up on the wrong path. Stop gambling when you are already compromising your life savings, stop when you are already taking up some loan, stop when you are not enjoying anymore.

Actually its not really that hard to stop if you do make yourself that wary and something do mind about on what you are doing. Sometimes people do really tolerate things
up just because they arent that still struggling or having those financial problems. They would really be just that surely stop on the time that they would really
be having those issues.

Those people are already into gambling that is why they knew that by chance gambling will
make them instant winner and of course to cover their desired amount but sadly? it is the opposite that happened.

that is what we called Chasing losses and I knew it for some friend that instead of earning ? they
lose more and more.

desperation without rightful thinking .

lol this is a word of those who don't really know gambling that is why they can say its for fun.

Yes, I agree with the idea and three points mentioned by the OP above that we must avoid gambling activities when we are in a situation of needing money because this can trigger someone to act out of control such as placing a large budget amount to get a big win, ideas like This should be avoided because gambling is not
have any certainty that can guarantee you win at the end of the session, which means losing is a very possible possibility.

The second is gambling with the aim of returning something that has been lost due to previous defeats, or what it means is pursuing a recovery situation which is actually something that is difficult to achieve, in fact it is not a win that you can get but the opposite which means the amount of loss will actually increase. Therefore, it is always recommended to gamble without placing any hopes or expectations, with this you will be able to become a responsible gambler by allocating an amount that you can afford to lose and with this you will not think of pursuing recovery. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for me to find several friends who take out their despair and frustration on gambling, they prioritize self-satisfaction without thinking about the consequences when they experience defeat which can actually make the situation much worse. The conclusion is of course that gambling should be fun and not be a place that causes lots of problems.

Intoxication, full of emotions, frustrations etc are a proven recipe for failure and this isn't exclusive to gambling!! And these named factors above and in the OP can negatively affect your daily lives, be it at work, driving , trading etcetera and you don't want to be stubborn to try to prove a point that you can do it, buddy swallow your pride before you lose your money 💰.

Agreed, which why they say winners know when to stop and when to stop... once you crack the edge to stay off gambling then you will be fine.

Well said mate, also gamblers tend to continue gambling after they win some money, which is very popular among gamblers, taking break from gambling shouldn't end with when you don't have money and others like you said but also when you win, gamblers must learn to take their leave and come back another time.

I have a brother that place a bet on a match in 2020 and he won, the amount was like $700 or so then, but because he needed some money and it's way above this amount that he won, he wasn't satisfied, he continue to keep gambling until there is only $50 left, taking break after every win is a wise decision, I don't want to know what's a waiting me if I keep trying.

Maybe more losses? No one can say, until you find out, when you win its good, and don't forget how many times you've tried to have this win, learn to be contented and be brave enough to stand up and leave the casino or log off from the online casino.

You should not gamble using your hard earned money.
You should not gamble if you have no extra money.
You should not gamble using loan money.
You should not gamble if you have no stable income.
Because if you insist you will surely end up being broke.

Know when to stop.

Know when to take your leave.

When you get lucky, accept it as something that doesn't happen everyday.

So that when you get lucky you will appreciate it, or else you will easily get greedy.

If you are in need of money, gambling is not the way, go out there and apply for a good job, even if it's not so good, at least its better than not having a job and all you have left in your head is to go into a casino and gamble.

It's safer for gamblers to accept that casinos are not places where you will visit and smile out of the casino all the time, it's almost impossible, because casinos make money when you lose, is this not scary enough? Or the world is just full of dumb people?

You and the OP have really provided the best scenerio on when to quit gambling for the day and when not to gamble at all, the OP emphasized on what not to do during loses and you're emphasizing on what not to do after winnings, your advices are a complete synergy on what not to do as a responsible gambler.

Chasing loses is very dangerous because in the process you can become desperate and lose the remaining money that's left with you, also when you need money urgently that's the time you shouldn't gamble because there's no guarantee of winnings. Also when you win, it's better not to be greedy and start gambling with your win, inorder to win more, because you can lose that winning.

What I'll add is what you've always said in gambling and in crypto trading, that you should gamble/trade with the amount that you can afford to loose.

Gamblers make this serious mistake of chasing after their losses by continuing gambling and instead they keep om , making the condition to get more worse because they cant achieve anything from doing so, instead, its time for us to reset and settle down to look for more alternative means or source of income to earn from and recover from our losses in gambling, then we may now apply the right decision by affording to gamble with the amount of what we think is not much for us to loose at the course of gambling.

I think I will also relate this to gamble when you are in a bad mood. When not in a good mood, the most of the things you would be doing will not be properly organised and calculative. I understand that even sometimes when you are in good mood you still lose but at that point you may have the peace that you actually did what you where suppose to do with the right frame of mind and picked games you desire to play. But being in a bad mood, you are likely not to be organised and must of what you would rely on may be luck because the pressure is what will be leading you. You need to be in good mood to gamble so that you also understand the fun aspect of gambling.

You don't have to gamble under pressure because that will undermine your gambling ability in regards to your ability to calculate your moves and consideration or concentration to little details. You don't look at little details when you are under pressure and this is a truism most of the time.

I see lots of people become addicted due to the fact that they are not making some observations of their surroundings and they lose some motivation to pursue their honorable goals in life. instead, they are just gamble all day long with their money from their daily job and they repeat such routines every day. They lose their focus and they become addicted when they are playing, they play like there is no tomorrow. lots of them are like that and it won't matter to them anymore wherever source they got their money from as long as they are able to play again after they lose. this is the reality for I have witnessed such behaviors from my own community back then.

Yes, those are some of the things that are important for us to know when we should stop gambling and in essence, when we realize that we have gone too far and have lost too much money, that's when we stop gambling for a while, not because we lost, but try to win against yourself from gambling addiction, we probably all know that gambler's disease is gambling addiction which is sometimes very difficult to cure, therefore it is important to avoid it by not trying to chase after losing and so on.

There are times when we have to stop gambling just to avoid losing more money and prevent ourselves from going bankrupt, never let your emotions control you just because you are obsessed with wanting to keep winning and trying to recover from previous losses, gambling must be based on feelings of pleasure, not something. which emphasizes us to get a lot of money, but gives us entertainment from the games provided by gambling sites, we have to understand that gambling is not just talking about winning but really understands the benefits of gambling which is actually just for looking for entertainment. 

I'm quite confused, why there are people who, when they really need money, actually think about gambling and use this as a solution to get the money they need.
Firstly, if he is new to gambling then where can he think about it, because he has no experience in winning gambling
Second, if he is a gambler who has often played, wouldn't he also know that the risk of losing is very likely compared to doubling our money when gambling.
And trying to recover losses is a wrong step that we will never be able to take, so gambling should only be for fun, and when this activity has caused problems in our lives we should stop, and evaluate and only play when we really understand everything. risk and only gamble with money we can afford to lose.
And gambling with the intention of doubling our money because we need it and also to recover previous losses already puts us under pressure so that it will make us make further mistakes.

You are absolutely right about all three points you have clearly talked about. I usually advise some of my friends, both offline and online, that gambling is not a sustainable method of earning money because winning is not guaranteed at all times. If you are doing a job and being paid hourly, you are sure of what your salary is (the amount to receive), and you can even have plans for what you want to use the money for. In gambling, you are not sure of a guaranteed amount to be won; as a matter of fact, a gambler might be lucky to win a significant amount and still lose all of that money when they continue gambling. In gambling, you have hope of winning because you can lose too, but if you are doing a sustainable income job, you are guaranteed a particular amount to receive as a salary. 

When not gambling, things I will love to add are:

1. Don't gamble when your losses are beginning to get you deeply depressed. 

2. Don't gamble with your last dollar in the hope of using your winnings to repay debts. 

3. Don't gamble when your gambling lifestyle is beginning to endanger your relationship, either with your spouse or your parents. 

4. Don't gamble if you have a more important need for money. 

We don't have to playing gambling when we don't have money. That's the reality that we must admitted because how we can playing gambling without money? Borrowing money? That's not a good idea because that can gives many problems to you. You don't need to playing gambling if that's just to recover your losses because you can loss more money if you still wants to recover your losses.

You don't have to playing gambling if you are under pressures or frustration because that can makes you lose controls and that can be your time to lose your money. Playing gambling should be fun, not thinking about win or lose and only want to enjoy your time. You don't have playing gambling too long because that can triggers your emotion become highs. If your emotions become highs, you will loss self-control and that can cause you lose your money.
