There are a lot of people who do not gamble responsibly, some of them don't intend to do that but they just get lost in the process. Some try to control themselves but still finds themselves using funds that are meant for important things like school fees, house rent and so on.
If you are one of these people, here is a way that can help you be in control
A: set a limits; this simply means that you should budget a certain amount of funds for gambling. For instance, if you intend to gamble weekly, daily or monthly, set a limit of how much you want to gamble with and make sure you do not exceed that limit. That's why most casino games has the feature of setting limits.
B: Be disciplined; the above example won't be possible if you are not disciplined or rather when you do not have self control. Be mentally smart when gambling so you don't get carried away.
C: Remove the mindset that gambling will make you rich overnight; of course many people have made huge fortune from gambling but do you know how much these people spent to win such huge profit? Bet with what you can afford to lose and also bet according to your capacity.
D: Don't use money meant for important things like your rent or school fees to gamble. Be very conscious of this at all time.
You all can add more, let's learn .
A: set a limits;I say this to be the most important thing that you do set into yourself on which you do need up to set up limits so that you wont be putting up yourself into such tough situation or condition just because you've been that having that lose of control at the moment that you do gamble. Lets say that these are things arent only that applicable on gambling but also in other things as well. The only issue on here when dealing up with gambling is that dealing up too much of it will be leading into financial disaster on which we know that its really that hard to make out some recovery at the moment that the damage has already been done.
The only issue on here is that these are just that too easy to say but when you are already on such condition then this is where it do really testing out your discipline and control towards your mind because usually this is the main reason on why people do really failed up on doing such act because of that very common factor on which is to have that love for money and thats what makes it hard for you to control into.
You are absolutely right, most gamblers don't think about the possibility of losing, they assume that every bet they place would be successful, this is why they always end up getting disappointed when they lose because they expect too much from it. Just like what you said gambling is all about risk, this means that nothing is guaranteed. Any amount of money that leaves your bank account and goes into your bet account might be lost, having this type of mindset make a more realistic gambler it's better than being delusional.
They wont care at first just because there are those times or moments that you do become that too confident that you can be able to win up or having that luck or advantage.
On the moment that they've seen that their bankroll had been blown up, then this is the time that they will be having that regret and trying out to make those changes afterwards.
Usually people do changed up once they do able to experience for themselves about these unfortunate conditions on which they should have done this earlier to avoid up such situation.
There are just that those moments that we've become that too confident on which this do leads up into disaster.
