Re: What kept you safe from doing 'stupid' in gambling

<..snip..>
So what saved you from doing stupid in gambling?

Most of my grounded decisions are inspired due to the mistakes that my brother committed when I used to accompany him in his gambling days.

Growing up, we were not a wealthy family- my father was able to meet all the obligations and responsibilities for the family and we just had enough money to at least eat three (3) times a day. Given our financial condition at that time, my brother used to gamble his savings in order to purchase something luxury for himself.

When my brother used to gamble, he always preferred to tag me along because I always make the rationalize decision. I always called the shots of going home instead of just gambling more his winnings. However in some cases, despite my insistence of going home because he had already won, he would gamble more and eventually lose everything.

In sum, the experiences of my brother is what made me at least firm on my decisions to stop gambling whenever I reach my goal or incurred a loss on my given budget.

For me, gambling has never been a problem. I’ve never crossed the line I set for myself. Well maybe just one dollar to test my luck

If I lost, I calmly stopped and did something else. But I never make large money bets..There was also a story in my family involving huge debts due to gambling, which led to the complete breakdown of relationships. That’s too high a price to pay. That’s why I know firsthand about the problems that can arise, if you don’t control your gambling, the consequences can be very serious.

It was never been a problem in the first place, it is just that peoples action or on how they do treat it out and that what makes them be able to commit out those mistakes just because they've been that too optimistic that they can make easy money with gambling on which this is were we do actually be able to have in mind but once that reality hits you then you would be that having those realizations that it cant be that possible. Doing something stupid with gambling would be that mainly pertaining about having that spending too much towards it. Its recommended that you should be that only make use of the amount on which you can afford to lose and of course it should be done with your free time. Never ever be that optimistic that you can beat up the house or even when you do deal up with those skill based but still that luck factor will be always the determine factor. The only way that you should be that dealing up with gambling is that you should be that trying out to maximize out that budget allocation for your leisure and entertainment. If you do able to lose up those money then you should know on when to stop and call it a day.
