Responsible gambling

[Igebotz]

Gambling responsibly is important as it will help to prevent the ills that come from gambling. However, most people don't know what is responsible gambling and so they allow their impulses to to guide them. In my thinking, to gamble responsibly means to gamble for fun and entertainment and not seeing gambling as a get-rich-quick scheme. Also, setting limits is important. In addition, only spare money and money that one can afford to lose should only be used in gambling. Furthermore, there is a need to take breaks which means gambling even if it's for fun shouldn't be an everyday activity.

 We all have different ways of definition to gambling responsibly,the way one person will see it,will be quite different from the way the next person will see it,we are all entitled to our different opinions,but what is important about gambling responsibly is that,while in the habbit of gambling,we shouldn't let the habbit overwhelme us,it shouldn't be a thing that we can't do without,the moment it looks as if we can no longer do without it,that is when addiction has set in,and if we are addicted to it,then there should be a way to stop for some period of time.

Gambling responsibly entails many things, including those you have listed above . We need to understand and realise that it is only a responsible human being that will be able to gamble responsibly. And being responsible is not what is learnt overnight. The most important thing about gambling responsibly is the ability of the gambler to understand themselves and be moderated whenever they are going extreme in gambling. That is my definition of gambling responsibly.

Responsible gambling is what we really need to avoid further problems in this industry. Being a responsible gambler prevents us from losing more than what we have and helps us enjoy gambling without any bad consequences.

Gambling never brings any good to an honest man but gradually degrades a gambler economically, socially, and familially to such an extent that later the gambler withdraws from personal relationships.

This sounds unclear to me, thus for clarity, I want to ask certain questions. Who is an honest man in this context? What's your perception about good in this context? I can tell you that gambling hasn't affected some people economically, socially, and familiarly but then you drew a conclusion that gambling is bad in totality. I disagree because some people approach gambling for pleasure and fun. Now tell me, is that not a good reason? Or would such persons not be described as honest?  How about the few that have become rich from gambling, would you still hold the opinion that gambling has never brought any good looking at the peculiarity of their case? In my understanding, as long as gambling habit can be controlled then it is not wrong as you have condemned it.

I disagree, being responsible is like looking at morality and so what is good for someone might not be good for another person. A responsible human depends on what you intend to measure. For instance, a man who plaits his hair or is on dread might be seen as irresponsible in Nigeria but then is it so in UK or USA? Or is responsible measured by how we dress or talk? Or does it mean that a responsible person do not have addiction? Is having addiction make someone irresponsible? In my definition, a responsible person is a person who is morally upright. Now, a person might be responsible yet addicted to gambling and also, a person might not be morally right but gamble responsibly. So, saying that only a responsible person can gamble responsibly is not true in my thinking.

As with every other thing that requires you to put in your hard earned money, you have to be responsible with it. This includes investing, trading, even as simple as indulging in a product you want to purchase.

Often, people lose track of how much money they have put in and focus and how much they can potentially get as a reward, this fuels gambling addiction. With time you go deeper and deeper in losses and just want to recover some amount of your money, leading to more losses.
Tracking and controlling how much money you invest in is the first step to responsible gambling.

Gambling is one thing that later affects the family and society at least a little bit. It has special effects on families in particular. If a person gambles his only motive is how he can profit. At first, if he gambled for fun, later his thoughts changed to gain. And by spending money on gambling, the person gradually loses from it and at the end of the day he suffers from mental instability for money. And especially it has a good effect on the family. Many people put pressure on their wives, parents to collect gambling money and misbehave with them to collect money. Also many people lose all their wealth through gambling and suicides also occur occasionally. I personally think that those who are lucky enough to benefit from it should please not play it and stay away.

As easy as you think it is to gamble responsibly, it's actually harder to gamble responsibly. Gambling is totally dependent on your money, when you lose money by gambling, your sense of responsibility will not be very useful because at that time you will be thinking about recovering money from that gambling at any cost. Thinking of recovering money, gamblers usually make irresponsible decisions at various times which lead to further loss of their money. At the time you started gambling you thought no matter how much you get greedy and don't expect too much but when you win something you feel like you should gamble more. Although this does not happen to every gambler, it does happen to most gamblers and most gamblers make wrong decisions in such situations.

I think self control is very much important because all the things that you have mentioned in here someworth connected. Most gamblers do not have self control while gambling. They feel it is something they could just do once and be able to get rid of but forgetting that it is also a game that would interest them up on first attempt.

A gambler faces losses only when he becomes addicted to gambling. A regular and experienced gambler never faces loss as if he follows the standard gambling practice. For example, I stop gambling two days a week, and gamble the rest of the days. Whenever I experience a loss, I put gambling on hold for a while. So by remembering the gambling strategies, gambling can always be won through the ideal principles.

Gambling addiction some times occurs as a result of one's greed. When you are not satisfied with what you have won or you lost and you want to recover your loss or to win more,  this leads to addiction because that quest to recover lost funds would always be there and that is how a gambler becomes addicted to gambling.
Following the gambling principles just as you have said, saves you the stress of wanting to gambling always. As a gambler it is expedient of you to follow up with the gambling principles so as not to get taken unawares while gambling. Most times, gamblers see's their situation as sudden because they fail to ply by the gambling principles which have cost them alot of things that they can never forget quick in their lifetime.

[Igebotz]

A gambler faces losses only when he becomes addicted to gambling.

This is not correct. Whether addicted or not, a gambler is a gambler and a gambler is always a loser. The difference is that an addictive gambler tends to lose more and that is why addictive gambling is always advised against. 

I think self-control is very much important

Yeah, very important and a value that every gambler should seek to get. The problems resulting from gambling manifest in people who do not have self-control. Self-control takes different forms like taking a break when it's not working, having a budget and specified days for gambling and the most important for me is betting with only an amount a gambler can afford to lose. If these are practiced, then a lot of things can be corrected.

Gambling never brings any good to an honest man but gradually degrades a gambler economically, socially and familially to such an extent that later the gambler withdraws from personal relationships. In our society, thousands of families suffer and spend their days in turmoil due to the addiction of this harmful drug alone. Besides causing financial havoc in a family, gambling also seriously damages relationships among family members. For this gambling in our country, many wives have to face many social problems in addition to organizing heinous crimes such as beating of women, abuse of women, dowry system, divorce etc. So for now it has become really mandatory to abandon this bad habit to maintain social peace.

It doesn't just have to be said, the words are easy, you have to do something for society, sometimes things as simple as not giving your opinion on a gambling board to earn money for it. right?

I have been betting for over 20 years, and I have been fortunate enough to tell anyone who bets, but it is your responsibility.

Nothing you mention is "attributing" it to the gambling exclusively, I am sorry that you have such an unfortunate life to live in a perverse society like the one you mention.

There are so many drugs associated with what you mention, there are so many social and moral decadence with what you mention, that if we give a hierarchical position to the world of betting, I don't think it is even in the Top 10 of social evils, perhaps in your culture yes or the country to which you belong, but fortunately this is not the case all over the world.
