We all know that we cannot play for a long time without being responsible players; we could go crazy, or we could lose all our money; at some point, you have to realize that you need to play responsibly, so I created this poll and this discussion to pick your reasons and explain it.
In my case, I have to lose a lot of money to realize I have to gamble responsibly if I don't want to break my finances and experience depression, so now I control myself and monitor my expenses, and I'm doing good with it.
You had to lose a lot of money to understand that you need to play responsibly. I congratulate you, you are one of those few people who learn from their mistakes. There are a lot of people who have lost a lot of money gambling and still continue to spend a lot of money on it and play carelessly.
I often repeat the most important rule of a person who is fond of gambling. DO NOT gamble with money that you cannot afford to lose (naturally, do not borrow, do not take out a loan, do not take money from the family budget, etc.). Then the person can be called a responsible player. just always remember that you need to play with money that you wouldn’t mind losing.
It is important to mention that it is not really needed to lose a lot of money to learn to become a responsible gambler, you can do this by reading the experiences of those which have lost a lot of money and by curbing the expectations you have out of gambling, by accomplishing this, it will be easy for you to always keep in mind that gambling should be just another one of your hobbies and that you should not expect to profit from it, becoming a responsible gambler in the process and in the easiest way possible.
