Topic: You'll be a discipline gambler in sports if you have a real bankroll. - page 2. (Read 1149 times)

Yea, op is quite right and there is need for we gamblers to examine ourselves once again to know what we are really doing comparing our losses to the winnings we have had since all these while. This is why it is good for us to always do record keeping of all our gambling activities. This will help us to know where we are doing it right and where we are doing it wrong. So many gamblers do keep records and that is why they are not able to track winnings and losses to know whether things are really working for us or not. Discipline is what we keep making us to keep record of our gambling activities without over relaxing on negative outcomes.

Having this mental discipline can help any gambler to minimize losses, having a specified amount that you shouldn't exceed no matter what puts you in check.. This might be hard to keep up with when you try to chase your losses, always have a budget for gambling either on a monthly or weekly basis that you shouldn't go beyond, this is a responsible way of gambling that every gambler should try to inculcate

As gamblers, we can answer all those questions honestly if we reflect on our journey. We call it a journey because it involves evaluating our progress over time. Just because we aren’t successful now doesn’t mean we won’t be in the future; success can come if we continue to develop our skills. However, it's important to emphasize that the size of our bankroll is crucial, as it truly tests our ability to manage our emotions. I'm sure you understand the difference in feeling when you're gambling with $10 versus $100 or even $1,000.

Well, I’ve said it previously that, discipline is a key in life generally, not just in gambling and just as it had always been preached in the forum and beyond, having a budget is key as this will help a gambler stay on track and also avoid chasing after their losses.
On the other hand, I’ve also believed that, what irks for one person might as well not work for the best person and that’s also implacable in gambling and that’s why, in my writings I always try as much as possible to advise people to do what’s best for them and always stay true to themselves because this gambling of thing is a very complicated one and there isn’t any exact route to success as what actually matters is that, you’re staying profitable regardless of the route you take.

Of course, there must be a bankroll limit. Otherwise, your pathological emotions will lead you into a spiral of losing money. You lose - you want to win back - you lose even more - the desire to win back arises even more - and so on. To prevent this from happening, you must break this chain at the earliest stage. By the way, such an important circumstance as strategy has not yet been mentioned here... Does a person have a strategy or not? Is this strategy successful? Does it have positive statistics?

Yes because someone will think that they have limited capital and betting can be much more careful not to be reckless and can optimize control over attitudes and also budget expenditures in gambling.
But unfortunately not everyone can understand it and determine all this because they think they can still add capital to gamble.

In addition, there are also other things such as poor people who like to gamble not about fun but are much more dominant in making gambling place to make some money and consider gambling as source of income.
This kind of goal is what makes poor people prefer gambling over others, unlike rich people who can do anything with the money they have.

It is often a phase in life. Because you see, people start gambling at younger age, some get addicted some realize their mistake and move on and eventually never come back to it. So its not like a new generation will come up but the phase will pass off for certain people.

Ironically, there is less prevalence of the term "disciplined gambler" compared to "degenerate gambler"  Reasons are too obvious to state.

Because if a gambler becomes disciplined, like I said, they move out of that phase and stop gambling.

Of course having a specific bankroll will make you become a discipline gambler, it just that they will not learn it or they will follow the rules, but then abandon that since they think it's too much.

Nah, the poor ones are gamble more than the rich.

The rich choose to enjoy their life by having a night party and fuck many chicks, the poor can't do that because it's expensive and the chicks know to distinguish between the rich and the poor.

Gambling properly just means you are gambling for fun but still with the right amount of discipline. If your survival is at its stake then you are going to be more likely stressed when things don't end your way. You are going to be more desperate to win some cash because if you don't then how will you survive?
I think a lot of rich people are more often see gambling than poor ones. Having money might also entail that you can just do anything you want, lose some bet and you will still be able to live comfortably. Unfortunately it is not always like this.

We know it is a wrong habit to gamble with borrowed money or selling of your properties. Yes sometimes when you see a certain game , it will look like it is the best to bet and have a jackpot then the thought of borrowing and using huge bankroll begin to come but it is wiser to stay with your limit because that same game may turn out to be a failure as all depends on luck.


It is not true that alcohol or cigarette is easier to quit, no. There are as much smokers as you have gamblers or alcoholics. They are all in the class of addiction and require same kind of solution and effort to stop, no one is better or worse than the other. Moreover, they are same traits that are tied together like you can see someone who is an addict in them all. So if you win and keep playing, you could as well light up some cigarettes because you are happy or contrarily if you are not happy because you are losing.

I agree, most gamblers gamble like no other day. They don't stop gambling if they still know they have money in their wallet. If they don't have the funds, they borrow from other people. Lack of discipline is a common problem that most gamblers have and they will end up emptied. The worst thing is committing illegal activities just to have money to fund their gambling addiction. 
I'm looking forward to seeing this new generation will take a look and see how important is this. Besides, it was not just for our gambling life but also, it can be applied to our daily expenses.

Discipline is not difficult to learn especially if we have the reason to why doing this. But we have a lot of excuses why we can't, that is somewhat impossible.

Of course, few of their players want to think about anything at all; many see only money and don’t think about anything else, not just their bankroll and how to manage it. This also applies to other things with discipline and rules that professionals usually adhere to in fact, this is the difference. A professional may follow the rules, but other players may not. Compliance with the rules of bankroll management will only increase the chances of not losing your deposit very quickly, but winnings require special strategies that few players use. No one will tell you profitable strategies on a forum or anywhere else; you have to come up with it yourself. And only then can we have a higher chance of winning if we apply our own strategy and bankroll management. I tried this once, but it was incredibly difficult for me.

If you ask me, I am already disciplined about it, but talking about addicted gamblers, bankroll management is something they would hate to do because it drops their chances of playing more and more. The more they restrict their habits the more aggressive them become.

Most gamblers dont even have the idea that risk and bankroll need to be managed properly in order to be able to continue a stable gambling spree and not bust at the start.

Now if someone starts it today, it might be that they become more disciplined and eventually stop gambling because the losses become much more evident and laid out in front of them.

I agree with @Mauser say because $50 is more than enough to playing gambling even for beginner. That amount is big for those who new in gambling so they can lose all of that money if they don't have money management or have set their bankroll to gambling.
For that money, they can split it for a week or even for a month so they can playing gambling with the money they can afford. By the way, that is the reason why they must limits their gambling activity.
Having a bankroll means we can use that money to gambling and will not break the limits that we made. When we wins, we don't have to increase our bankroll instead just stick to the previous bankroll so we can collect the wins money for other things.

For me the whole concept of bankroll management is very important and I would recommend any gambler to start using it. 50 USD is totally fine as a starting bankroll. Depending on how many times per week you gamble, you can split down your bankroll to two bets per week. Increasing your bankroll I would only do with the gambling winnings. Having a fixed bankroll helps a lot to control our gambling behavior, and saving any profits will let us grow our bankroll over time. Another advantage of sticking to a fixed bankroll is that we always know where we stand. We know how much money we used for gambling this year and can calculate our profits. At least for me it's important to stay on top of my expenses and control my risk with the money I use for gambling.

It is not as easy as it may look.Sometimes the madness and rage of the moment can get the best out of us and we can forget about any bankroll in such moments.We can go all in because of these emotions that come from the rage we feel if we have lost some consecutive bets and to make you an example it is very easy with such results from the Euro 2024 or Copa America to get to this stage of betting.Based on this it is much easier to say that you are regular in managing your bankroll,it is much more difficult to actually implement it.

I think OP is right. I've seen most of gamblers who gamble, don't have any real bankroll. They do gambling to increase their money for their basic requirements as well as others thing that they wanna have. That's why they might be less focused, less disciplined and have more hunger for money rather than making gambling properly. But when a Gambler have enough money, i mean a real bankroll, then he doesn't need to think about any other things, no need to worry about rent or basic needs as op mentioned already. So he can be more focus of course. although there are some exception too. Some people will never changed, no matter how much they have! They always want more and keep staking more amounts for more earning which could be drive them to become loser at the end

Different people have different will power. Others lose all sense of reason when they witness a roulette wheel. And thats reasonable, to some degree. Right now, life's is about having some fun. You must understand your limitations. You had to be disciplined. Sure enough, gambling may be a rush. But, if you're not careful, it might also destroy you. Controlling it requires a strong mind.

What then is our action to take? We have to be honest with ourselves first of all. We have to see the warning signals. Are you overspending compared to what you can afford? Are your friends and family neglected? Do you find yourself sleepless about it? If yes, you should start braking. Still, it goes beyond personal accountability. People should be helped in the surroundings. We have to inform them about the hazards. We have to inspire kids to create and follow restrictions.

So you don't believe in it but it might be real? Does that mean you don't believe in things that have some truth in them? I don't get it
A dedicated bankroll can keep you in check, that's a fact. You can set yourself a limit, for instance have an account that somebody else controls with you and that person has to authorize withdrawals.
Every month you send some money to the casino and the rest to that shared account and you're all set. There's no way for you to spend more than you want to.

When it comes to self control then this is something that will really vary or would really be that depending into someones control and moderation when it comes into their actions on which we know that not
all would really be that good when it comes to this aspect and  they would neither be surely be failing on following something that they have set earlier. It would really be just that basing up whether you could really be able to stick with your limits or not and to those who would really be having those plans on going further when it comes to their budget or bankroll then they are really that putting up such risks about losing even more or huge part of their monthly salary on which we know that we do have different priorities in life like paying up some bills and buying up our needs.

You cant really be able to feel it out when it is really just that starting but on the moment that you've been already compromising those funds and would really be starting out to see that you are
already struggling with other expenses then this is the moment that you would really be able to realize but well its already too late. Making up some mistakes is common but it could
really be that something avoidable if you do really be just that making yourself that responsible in the first place.
