While gaming we should pick only the amount we can control whenever it's becoming too heavy for us to carry inside the community.
If you become a gambler who is not greedy, you don't need to risk everything to feel satisfied. Allocate an amount that you have calculated beforehand, and be consistent with that amount. Don't bet beyond your budget to remain sane. When you try to bet beyond your budget, you are actually setting yourself up for a greater loss. This situation will not allow you to enjoy the bet, you will only feel pressure.
The problem most gamblers are facing is greed. Why on earth will a gambler gamble with very huge amount of money that puts him under pressure? Why will a gambler gamble with borrowed funds or even go as far as begging , selling off properties and stealing just to push it into gambling that is so unpredictable. It is because they are aiming for something higher and while at it, they put in place no risk management strategy to help them deal with the emotional stress that comes with gambling. Yea, gambling this way brings no fun, just unnecessary pressure.
Yeah, exactly, and the sad part is a lot of gamblers don’t even realize they are caught in that loop until it’s too late they think they’re one big win away from turning everything around but in reality that one win rarely comes and even if it does they usually throw it right back in chasing for more instead of walking away.
The truth is gambling is designed in a way that the house almost always wins in the long run so without self control and proper limits there’s no chance of coming out ahead the greed makes people forget the basics like only gambling what you can afford to lose or knowing when to stop they just keep chasing losses and piling on pressure and when you add things like loans debts or even family money into the mix it’s no longer just their own problem it affects everyone around them relationships break down trust gets destroyed and it can spiral into bigger issues like crime depression or total financial collapse.
At the end of the day gambling should be treated as entertainment nothing more if someone can’t handle that and keeps playing with pressure and desperation then it’s not just bad luck anymore it’s a mindset problem driven by greed.
Somehow, I love how every gambler who does more than he can take often faces the consequences of his/her actions immediately. The only unfortunate thing here is that these gamblers who face the consequences of their actions usually do not learn from their experiences until everything becomes worse and they cannot take it anymore. Gambling is not a job, no one is suppose to treat it so important to the extent of losing so much from it. Gamblers can do better to take away these weight of emotions from themselves.
