We all often write and repeat in conversations about the importance of being a responsible player. But I would like to discuss those points that are related to putting this into practice. Really: is it easy to be a responsible player? For someone, like me, it is not difficult, I am not a gambler in general, I am used to soberly assessing my advantages and, if there are none, limiting the size of my bets or playing only for research or entertainment purposes. But if we take the average player - is it easy for him to be responsible? After all, people often come to the gaming industry with the naive goal of getting rich. And before they come to an understanding of responsible play, quite a long time may pass. It is somewhat similar to smoking or gluttony. Everyone knows that smoking is harmful, and excess weight causes health problems, but there are a huge number of people who cannot quit smoking or lose weight. What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?
It is all about discipline,
оnceonce I read a very interesting thought in a book by Bodo Schäfer: you can eat one bar of chocolate a day, or you can go for a run of several kilometers every morning. Both will eventually become habits if you repeat them every day. But after a year, the chocolate will make you a sick overweight person, while the morning run will make you athletic, fit, in great shape, and with excellent health. So it is up to each person whether to stick to it or not is a matter of discipline. I think that everyone should start working on discipline from childhood. At first, parents should oversee it, and later a person should maintain it independently. If there is no discipline, then any task will seem difficult.
