How can players assess their own risk?


Casino gambling is a risky activity, but there are things that players can do to assess their own risk and gamble more responsibly. Here are some tips:

Consider your financial situation.

Be aware of the odds.

Don't chase your losses.

Take breaks.

Don't gamble under the influence of drugs or alcohol.


In addition to these general tips, there are some specific things that players can do to assess their own risk for gambling addiction. For example, players can take a self-assessment test or talk to a gambling counselor. What are some other things that players can do to assess their own risk and gamble more responsibly?


I would also like to discuss one interesting fact. Today in this study I read that Canadians with a bachelor's degree or higher are more likely to consider themselves a risk-taker (57% of the time). This may indicate that these individuals are more likely to have a growth mindset and be willing to take risks. What do you think about it? Is this really true? I definitely belong to such people, but I don’t believe that there are so many of us.

Hi, it's a study but I'm not sure if it's from a relevant source. I would probably try to find out more about it, and if more experts' opinions agree, then I would consolidate my view on this issue. 

However, when you say that you are one of the people who are more prone to risk taking, does this also apply to gambling ?

I'm not a big fan of gambling, but I regularly try myself in these entertainments. It's fascinating to think about the connection between education levels and risk-taking tendencies.

Hmm, I think that if one has fun in this industry, it is certainly important to educate yourself within it, so that you don't end up becoming addicted to gambling. I'm glad it's not your case when you say you're not a gambling fan. I hope this attitude lasts as long as possible. 🙂

I agree with the tips you mentioned. Those are actually good to know so that we won't burn out mentally and financially.

I just wanted to share my thoughts on the study that you've read. I just think that degree holders are more likely to take risk since they have a degree to support their needs in case they needed a job. People who have less and lose more tend to not risk at all in order to save what they have for more important things. Everyone has a growth mindset, some just lack the resources to improve themselves.

It's commendable that you've highlighted several important tips for responsible gambling. In addition to the mentioned suggestions,  I also want to offer more tips for players to assess their own risk and gamble more responsibly.

  1. Set limits to how much money you're willing to spend on gambling to prevent excessive losses.
  2. Keep a record of your gambling activities so that you know if you're spending more than you can afford.
  3. Seek support from your friends and family by letting them know about your gambling habits and allow them to help you stay accountable for your actions.
  4. Educate yourself with the rules and probabilities of the game so that you can make more informed decisions and reduce impulsive behavior.

These are the things I always do to help me maintain a healthy relationship with gambling. I hope it helps
