Topic: When you are not to gamble. - page 40. (Read 6766 times)

whether gambling is fun or not is very relative  to the definition. all conditions can be mixed up sometimes it's fun sometimes it's annoying. but I agree that in  certain situations when you need money and the pressure of  chasing losses will only give rise to a feeling of discomfort when playing. because there are demands every time you play. so far I don't feel like  I'm in a cycle of addiction the point is to  play when I have more funds. throwing away  a few Dollars is just to increase the account level percentage. maybe it's more about chasing the wagger so there no demand  to withdraw winnings at all.
Meanwhile, for the addict category there is no other choice but to look for ways to get money to gamble. They are more reckless and do not have any control either mentally or while playing. His emotions are no longer controlled healthily. Risks that are already difficult to provide advice on can even have an impact on life activities outside of gambling.

My preferred time of gambling is when I feel more relaxed.
Why I hate gambling under pressure and tension is because I have got so many loses during such state. If i'm gambling when i'm relaxed, the result is always positive at the initial time until I finally exhaust my calmness. Some days too always comes with bad luck, it doesn't matter if the person is relaxed or not, the moment you just caste your first stake might just be when you will start losing. There is one new discipline am trying to teach myself which is that anytime I start gambling and loses my first three bet, I will stop gambling. Knowing when to stop gambling is the right discipline that everyone must practice.

this is the right spirit.
Gambling must be fun and never undertaken as an activity to earn like a work... of course without a "professional" way of acting.
in general I would add to your list: don't bet if you don't enjoy it/have fun.

Using your last amount to gamble is not a wise choice, you should have more money that will sustain you if something worse happen, if you don't have money you should find a paying job to do.

The truth is many gamblers don't think about themselves, they don't dream about what will happen to them when they lose money, if everyone thinks about this first they will learn to always risk what they can afford or stay way from gambling until they have enough money to take risks.

If you can risk what you can afford to lose you won't be bothered about what will happen later, either you win or you lose it won't matter, you risk what you can afford to lose in the first place, there is no better gambling choice than this one..

Yes, gambling can have two possibilities, it can be fun and it can cause problems, depending on how we respond to it, but you can be sure that many people gamble with the wrong goal, where they gamble with a goal that can cause big problems. As you said, most people gamble when they need money immediately. when they don't have money but only have a little money with the current crowd of gambling people who are said to be able to double their money, it is an option for them to do it using the little money they have, hoping that it can double when betting on gambling, but of course all that is not will happen according to what is expected, of course defeats that are more dominant will certainly occur frequently, no matter what they are gambling for, it cannot make gambling win easily. Also, some of those who have experienced defeat think they can turn things around. where they don't give up gambling, they return to gambling with the aim or motive of recovering losses or pursuing winnings, and in my opinion that is wrong thinking of course thinking like that will only make them addicted which can make them lose more money, and a lot of it. Gamblers like this don't realize that what they are doing has caused them to suffer big losses. They only think that they can definitely get a big win with the amount of gambling they do.

Of course, the reality of gambling will definitely only result in defeat and if from the start we respond wrongly to gambling then the frequent defeats can cause us to experience excessive stress including not being able to accept the reality of the defeat that occurs, and if it's like that, of course we will experiencing problems such as losing a lot of money and other things, perhaps mental health which could be negatively affected by gambling losses that we cannot accept well. It's true what you said, it's better to stay away from it when a problem occurs that will become a big problem if it continues. because the big problems that occur because of gambling are based on our own actions if we cannot control ourselves then big problems could happen. Therefore, prevention is better than cure.

I completely agree with you bro, it should be fun without any doubt.
But the problem is, we are using our money which means we may lose or win and that's when it becomes problematic especially when we are on the losing side.

Your pointers are right, we should not gamble when we are in urgent need of money. The solution that I see is just getting a loan so that we can pay whatever needs to be paid without risking anything.

Chasing losses had always been the big factor in why we would lose more. Think of the losses as forever gone so that we won't try to chase it back. Like a donation to the gambling site. That way, maybe we will feel better.

Under pressure. Stressed. This is where we make bad decisions and the most common thing that happens is putting all the money in one bet which is not recommended at all. By doing that, we are just rushing the inevitable which is losing. But when we try to prolong the battle we still have a chance so it's better to gamble while our mind is clear.

Well, I see a lot of people who gamble to double their money when they are short of money and hope they are lucky at that time. It can be said to be forced gambling because their target is to win at gambling, not to please themselves from gambling, it will actually make us lose a lot of money that we should not be able to feel that way.
Following a loss or wanting to return the money we lost due to gambling is something wrong, because instead of getting our money back, we will actually lose more money. now if that is still done then they might not be able to recover the defeat they once experienced.
Under pressure or being frustrated by certain problems, this is the time for us to rest, not gamble. Because at that time our emotions are unstable and can change at any time and when that happens it is unlikely that we can control our emotions at that time. In this way it might make the predictions we make irregular, and that becomes a problem.
So I agree to avoid gambling in situations like that, because it will make us lose more money.

People's nature is to be greedy in somethings that they think easy for them to generate money that's why those people who didn't experience the worst always think about that one day they can earn a lot of money if they are consistent enough playing and can able to familiarize the game by using the strategy they found on internet. But they failed to realize that everything excessive action done is negative for them that's why some other fall into addiction since in long run they can't handle theirselves and their activity and just caught up with thinking that they can earn easy richest from gambling.

That's why OP written words their is right since if they expect a lot from gambling especially for passive returns for sure they will never get those things but instead they are the one who will be eaten alive and they realize late that when losing to much and can't they can't handle their activities well since everything they do is to much for them.

Exactly,and I think you should add that too that when you don't have money you shouldn't gamble.because when you do so you are only creating opportunity for damages,like a gambler in my area that doesn't have a penny seeing his folks going out there to gamble will want to follow suit and join the trend whereas he his empty,so what will become of him.

Then probably if while going to watch them or anything he tends to play and no money thus is when he will be thinking of other directive measures to ascertain that and leading him to steal, borrow, loan from anywhere and even sell his property to gamble. So this should be added as well to let them know what's out there if not just going for the fun .

True, we can't stop those gamblers who gamble under the influence of frustration or are basically influenced by emotion. Even if we tell those gamblers to stop gambling out of emotion, we can't fully stop them because we are not with them. I also experience being able to gamble even though I know I'm not in a good emotional and mental state, and of course it didn't turn out well, and nobody will ever be able to gamble right because of their emotions. Of course, we all experience compulsive gambling; even the safest gambler can sometimes do this. But the thing is, will you keep making those mistakes? If yes, then prepare to face the consequences because the damage will not just affect your finances but also your emotional state. I know we already said it numerous times in every kind of topic about gambling: don't gamble if you can't afford to lose money.

Playing gambling is just for fun and you should not have the desire to get money in a short time because that will trigger you to continue gambling. Without awareness about gambling just for fun, they will not stop gambling because they want to make money.
Many people can no longer control themselves when they gamble more and more often so they will not realize that something has changed within them. Their goal in gambling finally changed to making money in a short time.
If they notice that something has changed in themselves while gambling, they should immediately stop as quickly as possible before it is too late to stop gambling. They will turn into gambling addiction and it is difficult to cure it.

If martingale is appropriately used, if you choose the right game and also start very small with you having at least five games to gamble with, I mean five rounds. The chance that you will make money is high. If you win at ones, do not gamble that day again. But some people will use martingale, win but continue to gamble until losses starts. They will continue to gamble and later loses big amount of money. It is a good strategy but that can lead to big losses if a gambler is not careful.

when you are in urgent need of money anything looks like a source of liberation and playing with such state of mind can course you the little you already have. As simple as the advice never to gamble when you're in dear need of money sound, that has been the general practice of somany people. Some don't even know anything fun about gambling, the only thing they are after is how they can double Thier earning or the amount they already have and at the end of the day they end u loosing all they already have.

Nice points, let me add these point s to consider

When you don't have a budget, don't gamble: There Should be some funds set aside for gambling from your earnings and should not be more than 5% of it. When you've not properly planned yourself and delegated  regulated funds to gambling, you shouldn't gamble because at that point, you're like a car without brake.

When you've addicted friends around you, don't gamble: when you're struggling to be disciplined and keep to your budget, you need only to fight yourself from going beyond your budget, but when you've external influences of addicted friends to contend with, your issue becomes worse as they constantly validate the inner destructive voice  compelling you to gamble irresponsibly.

The problem of the people who bet on these three assumptions is that how do you stop them? I know I shouldn't bet when I feel frustrated, for example, and I don't do it, but there is nothing you can say to someone who does it that will stop them. The same goes for someone who is compulsively gambling to win back what he has lost. The thing is not as easy as writing some rules and knowing that you have to follow them, the problem is the behavior, that many times the person behaves as he/she knows he/she should not be doing.

Most of what happens is point no. 2. want to restore the capital that has been lost in the gambling. by doing marti or increasing the bet every time lose. but usually instead of winning and returning capital that happens, still lose and the losses are getting bigger.

Those are true and I quite agree with you but the simplest thing to stop gamble is when your reach out your budget and when you don't have money. That it.

If you really want to stop gambling just don't look at the gambling-related content or don't ever try demo account or game that related to gamble and you gonna save i believe

Or when there are strong emotions running in you. If you are depressed, you should not be gambling. If you are consumed with anger or with big problems whether at work or at home, gambling is also not the best activity for you. I think this would even apply to positive emotions. If you are extremely ecstatic or very happy over something, it might not be good to gamble. Strong emotions would only take away your concentration. They would make you unreasonable and careless, unmindful of your limits.

Maybe for those who are addicted to the world of gambling, it will be hard to leave it because for them, online gambling is entertainment that can make money and can also lose money in an instant, and it is very difficult to give up this kind of addiction for those who have spent a lot of money on the site. gambling, when they want to leave the casino, they will feel depressed, but when they have positive activities and make a lot of money, they will start to get used to not visiting gambling sites anymore.

👉👉Under pressure or frustration

This is where i do completely stop on playing gambling on which on the time that im already not enjoying it at the same time im already losing huge amount of money.
We do know that once things becoming like this on the time that you do play then you are just basically making yourself that putting up on such problem on which we know
that you should really be stopping it immeidate.

There's no fun in loosing but it wont really be that totally an appealing situation if you do find yourself on having those financial struggles because of too much engagement with gambling.
We do know that once you are getting hooked with addiction then spending would really be on something not can be controlled.
This is why it would be best that you should really be stopping on the time that you are really experiencing problems.
