What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?
We can become a responsible gamblers if we don't see gambling as a means of escaping poverty, if we don't chasing our losses, and if we use 2% of our income to gamble so that we can always control our gambling habits. It is difficult for many to become a responsible gamblers because they gamble from monday to sunday and if their favorite leagues didn't have fixtures the day they want to gamble, they wouldn't take a break; they would bet on the available leagues that day just for them to have a bet ticket they would monitor that day, and they would be chasing their losses so that they could get rich from gambling.
Putting in mind that you must become rich through gambling will really destabilize you and make you lose your focus in gambling. You’ll make a lot of mistakes and will also remain at a disadvantage in your gambling journey. Taking a break at gambling is very important and if you continue to make mistakes, your gambling will only end in havoc, this will be like a scenario, from grace to grass once again. It becomes even worse if you’re already an addicted gambler and can’t do without it. 2% of our income spared for gambling may even look like a very big amount for some people to sacrifice, some will go as low as sacrificing only 1% and if they lose those amount, they will only restrict themselves from gambling until they get paid to spare another 1% from their income.
If it
wasis possible for the government of every country to restrict the people that doesn't have source of income from gambling, i would have encouraged the government of every country to banned nor salary earners from gambling because these people sees gambling as a means of getting rich and they are easily addicted to gambling because they don't know when to take a break from gambling, and they end up destroying their lives. All gamblers doesn't have the same income, so any gambler that thinks 2% of his income is too big to allocate to gamble can reduce it to the percentage that pleases him.
