Im intrigued by the idea of gambling within boundaries. Its like playing a strategic game where the opponent is our own impulse. I see it as a self-discipline test focused on managing our expectations and desires rather than beating the house. Thinking about things that way is fascinating.
Responsible gambling may be learned, in my experience. Its about leading your gambling connection. Control the game, not vice versa. This means self-imposed limits like a budget or time limit and strict adherence. Recognizing that winning is transitory but self-control is lasting is key.
I also think gambling should be entertaining and social. Its about the adrenaline rush, the camaraderie with other gamblers, and the uncertainty, not just the money. Gamblers can enjoy gambling without risking addiction by prioritizing these factors over financial outcomes. It's about enjoying the process, not the result. After all, shouldnt gambling be fun?
Yes, you are correct in saying that when gambling, we are gambling against our impulses, and we must remain aware that gambling must be done with limits and discipline. We must not lose that barrier just because we have enjoyed gambling so much that we forget the limits. We must be able to manage our hopes and desires so that we don't destroy ourselves and end up losing those limits, causing us to lose a lot of money.
Playing gambling responsibly is difficult, and it requires continuous practice. If you still want to gamble, that means you have to continuously practice this responsibility along with others so that you don't fall deeper into gambling. This is like leading yourself to stay within those limits and not go off the path you have determined so that you will not experience other serious problems. Win will come to us, but we must be patient while waiting for that win. And in waiting for a win to come, we must be able to set clear boundaries to survive while gambling.
Gambling should be entertaining. Unfortunately, because many people lose control of themselves, this is what makes them unable to enjoy gambling as entertainment and instead want to use it as a place to make money. This is wrong with them so they have to try to realize it and change what needs to be changed so that everything can still run well and they can also enjoy gambling as entertainment.
Of course the gambler can win big someday depending on how strong the self control skill he's implementing on gambling is managed. The availability of gambling online is a weak point to gamblers with self control. As we can't be having a gambling site on our gadgets without trying to gamble more. Hence, gamblers need to double the energy of controlling their gambling urge. As it could be easier to stop going to a place we love, but when the place comes to us, it gets harder to resist. That's why the cases of chasing losses and lose of control after winning big appears. You'd notice that if the person was to be gambling in an offline casino at some point he'd want to go home and have a nap. But online, the player wakes up to his gadget next to him. The ability to stop or avoid the need to gamble at the moment of waking up, may not be there. The psychological impact gambling has on players is quite powerful and requires discipline to control it. Some times the big win arrives and the gambler doesn't acknowledge, and he'll wager it all at same time.
Gamblers can achieve big wins, but they don't know when they can get them, so they can only continue gambling and hope to get that big win. Every time they win, they will think that the time is near to get a big win, so it will cause them to continue gambling non-stop. But if they have good self-control, they will not try to gamble continuously just because they want to get a big win, but they will realize that there is no need to gamble too seriously because the big win will come by itself. Self-control can prevent them from returning to the casino too often, so they will always try to control their desire to gamble. Those who can control themselves are lucky because they can prevent bigger losses and still have their money. Gamblers who manage to control themselves can realize that if they lose and keep returning to the casino, it will only result in more and more losses, which is not good for their finances, so they must really prevent that from happening.
