According to many studies and the opinions of experts in behavioral psychology, gambling-related behaviors can be controlled, whether to reduce addictive behaviors or avoid addiction for beginners;

In brief, You can deal well with your gambling problems by learning about it, addressing it, controlling what might drive you to gambling, and then getting support.

Is this possible according to your opinion and what are the tips that can be followed?

It can really be controlled and that one would be starting from yourself.

- Strong self discipline
- Strong control of emotion
- Limited or dont go beyond border lines in terms of spending
- Dont believe one easy money or making yourself rich with gambling.

Once you do have this kind of mindset or beliefs and you strictly followed it
then making yourself addicted through gambling is less likely to happen.

This is possible and I think it’s a must, we should always control our emotions, and that could lead to a positive behavior towards your gambling activities. Proper planning can be a big help, start with budgeting and have the target for winning. If you lose the whole budget for that day, you can just go home and with that you can be a responsible gambler. Just don’t spend so much time in gambling because the more you gamble, you are slowly forgetting the good behavior and it can lead you to being greedy because of too much exposure.

Your behavior will be your guide in gambling, if you have that positive behavior you can achieve more in gambling and it can prevent you from being addict so technically, this is very important. It can be controlled, its just a matter of execution and planning, if you plan to gamble occasionally the better, but if you plan to gamble actively maybe you should focus on creating the positive behavior, and you are the only one who can control it.

It's really on the character and how well you've been trained all your life if early in your life you've learned the bad effects of gambling and you have a good upbringing you will not suffer from any kind of addiction, addiction is an escaped from reality too much of anything will harm you, it's ok to gamble as long as its for fun and there is allocation on it, on time and money.

Gambling can be controlled. The first step is to realize that there is a giant in the room, you have to see you have a gambling problem you want to stop or control. This is the difficult part imo, people often have self denial if you can get that out of the way then you're a step closer to your goal. You also need a support group where you can talk about your problem with people who understand and are going through the same phase.

I think gambling behaviour can be controlled and it starts by ourselves. In the beginning I think if you realise that you have been making alot of loses and you are getting into debts, you can caution yourself on the reason to stop because you will have many debts to offset and when you don't have money to do that, you will have all the reason to reduce or stop. For an addict, it is difficult to control because if he has money, high tendencies are there to go back into it.

Indeed and not all people are really that good on handling out their emotions which do greatly affect their decisions towards gambling involvement or dealing with it.If you are a type of person who could control various

things in terms of making good decisions or something that only just needs common sense then i dont really see any problems that would be molded into it.When you do gamble then
only seek out for entertainment and leisure and dont go beyond on making profits because that would really just make you greedy.

Once you cant control yourself then gambling isnt for you and having that high chance on getting addicted which is the worst thing to happen.

Being honest with yourself, knowing your goals and your limitations. Those are the most important things when it comes to managing any addiction. Ask yourself a few questions like why you're doing it, is it affecting your life in a negative way, do you feel good or bad afterwards... Don't lie to yourself, don't try to forget your mistakes, don't run away from responsibility. You fuck up, you work it out to make it up to everyone.

It really can be controlled.

But it all depends to your ability based on your mental strength. If you're strong mentally, then you really can. Think of those addicted gamblers that can no longer control themselves.

They're the ones that gets into addiction and lose their control because they're weak mentally and they've been overcome by their own desire to gamble.

it is usually more easily said than done, the truth is that in reality it requires a whole lot of discipline, discipline first finding out if it is possible to stop gambling by oneself or if help is required. It is also a problem when you realize that you need help to put your gambling problem in check but feel too reluctant and decide to try to help yourself by yourself, a very dangerous situation you are building up because trying successively to break an addiction or fix a problem without success may make one just accept it as normal and believe that their case is too far to remedy. We should as much as possible maintain sincerity with ourselves.  

The first two or three months of starting to gamble are the crucial it becomes a habit and falls into addiction, the worse thing about addiction is you always want more and you want more risk because of the high of it


If you established your own pattern in the first month and it's a safe pattern then you are good to go, addiction develops when you are at it most of your time, so if you are gambling be sure you are allocating little time and you have time for the most important thing in life, like job family and recreating

There are more good players than gambling addicts, gambling addicts I believe are only on small percentage and the key to safe gambling is moderation, don't take too much of it and you should be good.

Truly, before this becomes an addiction, actually we ourselves can control and manage ourselves into gambling. We can manage not only our money but also our behavior, mental and psychological, and also our emotion. On the other hand, if we have been in the gambling addiction, it will be very difficult, moreover, we need certain help from the expert in order to understand which is actually best to do.
Controlling self n gambling will help us under controlled, will have more stable situation, not panic mroeover.

I think it's definitely possible, but it's going to be very difficult. But if you have will power, and just like any addiction, you can stop it. But your mind should be the first one to really to understand and tell you that it's time to stop. Maybe just do something different, to get out out gambling in your system. Talk to your families often as they are your support in this time. Again, channel your mind and tell yourself that gambling is not good and it will just make you lose money.

I have gambled at a young age but I never got addicted to it. I wasn't particularly told by someone that addiction is bad but I understood that it's not good to lose money you're supposed to use on something else. I don't know but perhaps growing up with less teaches you to value money more than those easily gets it.

^ It will be healed but it takes a lot of time to it and it should be there is a rehabilitation of the patient who experienced gambling addiction. Addiction is not easy to deal with. When you are at that stage of addiction, your mind always looking at a gambling casino and the best is the rehabilitation and divert into other activities that you can forget gambling and as I said, it can be healed over time.
It is very possible for a gambling addiction behavior to be healed but the problem is how long it will take.

This is not the kind of gambling I mean. Most of the people in the gambling section of the forum are not addicted and almost practice gambling with moderation, even from themselves, which push them to get involved and addictive.

Looking at billionaires flying in private jets, riding in expensive luxury cars with their trophy wives and living in mansions.

The only path many believe they have to living that type of life, is through gambling. They view it as their only path to success.

Gambling is also the laziest potential path to a higher standard of living. There is no need to attend 4 years of schooling to earn a degree. No need for licensing or certification. Its an entry level career.

These factors coupled together hold a powerful attraction over those who can't envision another path for themselves to achieve the type of life they want to live.

Quitting gambling involves finding other ways to earn income and find a side hustle that works.

I think a lot of people suffering from gambling addiction have no other hope, they firmly believe gambling is their only hope. Which makes it difficult to quit.

One can also deal with gambling problem by discussing it with close relatives, friends, psychiatrists and specialist therapists. It is possible to deal with addiction the first step is admitting that there is a problem and second is seeking a solution. When it comes to issues related to gambling addiction it all starts by trying to recover from lost bets and gradually it begins to accumulate. Having a budget will help avoid anything that seem to represent addiction in gambling

Of course, gambling behaviors can be controlled. I don't see any reason why it can't be controlled. Even a gambling addict can overcome that worst behavior.

Tips? It varies and depends on how the gambler is.

- For casual gamblers, no need for any tips as these people are just gambling moderately or when they just feel it

- For regular gamblers, even if they do gamble frequently, these people are still in control of themselves and just a bit of medication if they want to stop for good

- For addictive gamblers, it's not mean that they are addicted, they are not responsible. There are lots of gambling addicts that are still responsible for their life outside gambling. Treatment here varies on how that person is managing their gambling activity.

- For hardcore gambler that isn't responsible now for everything and showing worst actions, they should be assisted by their families and friends as these type of gamblers will ignore any advice and help.

I have had family members from other cities that I used to visit that were quite into gambling, they would basically gamble everyday, mostly as entertainment and as social activity at dusk.
most of them did not have problems with gambling except one, that put him into a very bad position with family and I believe that was his mistake.

To overcome any addiction or problem, it is imperative to count on other people that care about you, it makes things easier.
I believe it is possible, but facing something as impulsive as an actual gambling problem being alone is too hard...

The best way to go about gambling addiction is to stay far from it by avoiding it. Gambling addiction is like a wound, the more you touch or look at it, the more it forces you to remember it. For an addicted gambler to be on the safe side is to avoid looking at or getting involved with it.
Addictions don't stop if you keep revisiting them all the time. Gambling addiction will only be controlled if you learn how to disconnect from it entirely

It can be controlled ofc. It's just a matter of how you want to do it. There's a forced option where you ask for assistance through someone else where they pretty much guard or check up on you most of the day to see if you're doing gambling, and if necessary, forcibly stop you (though this may lead to withdrawal symptoms imo).

There's also the slow transition to removing it in your life, just like how smokers can slowly get help and reduce if not completely remove smoking from their lives. Or they can even replace it with something more productive, e.g. a hobby such as sports, arts, studying, etc.

It is possible to control gambling behavior by starting to respect yourself. If you don't respect yourself then that means you don't have control of your behavior which means you won't also be able to control yourself during gambling. It's up to you on how you do it but if you don't know then better ask for help with your family. I am a gambler but I have control on how much I want to spend and I only spend what I can afford to lose. If you can't possibly control yourself then better stop gambling.

This is certainly possible, but it is something very subjective that varies a lot from person to person.
It varies a lot even in the same person, depending on the emotional situation they are in at the moment, because if they are having problems in a romantic relationship or at work, for example, they will be much more susceptible to gambling addiction than she had a well-planned life.
I believe that the best tip is not to rely only on yourself, but to share your hobby for gambling with someone else and allow that person to have an opinion and help control your spending of money and time on these games.

It really starts from within, identify that you have the problem so that a solution can be made. So the answer is yes, it is possible to control gambling behavior, but it will take a lot of courage to admit first that you have the addiction. Make yourself busy, start a new career, go out with your friends and family, start a new hobby. Be creative and think of something that will make your mind not to indulge or become involved in gambling again.

Well you have answered this question well, I totally agree. 

So far I have not found a thesis on this subject.  however on the topic of this thread it is totally manageable.  as far as I read (online news, mainstream) gambling behavior is closely related to a country, whether developed or developing.  Most gamblers who are addicted are the lower middle class people when compared to the class society (intellect, smart, educated) apart from famous figures who are trapped in addiction, only a small part of the lower middle class.  One of the main factors that influence a gambler not to become an addict is the mindset, personality and self-control.

it's pretty obvious, isn't it? I mean if people can't control their gambling behaviour there would be far more people addicted to gambling and the issue about it would be far more serious than it is now. also, experts have already said it is possible, I am pretty they have done studies regarding it to come to this conclusion. as for the tips, aside from what milewilda have mentioned, I usually just put aside funds for gambling.

I don't think so. I don't think those gamblers who are facing severe addiction problems can address these problems all by themselves. I really don't think they can manage to control, much less end, their addiction if left unassisted. That's why there are professional interventions for these people because putting an end to gambling addiction can't be done by somebody who doesn't have enough background in combating addiction problems.

The only thing you need to stop gambling behaviour is self control and discipline.I know it's hard to do,but people who have strong desire to stop gambling will preserve.Tips that i can think,keep yourself busy with your job or positive hobby like gardening or reading or anything.It will disract you from your gambling impulses.

if we apply good behaviour to gambling casinos, maybe the result will be good that we will get to ensure that. Especially since you know how to control it properly, that's why we have a saying that if what is planted is good, it is also good when it is harvested. But if it started badly and wasn't right, you can also expect that the result will be bad, it's just that simple.

The only way to be able to learn it, overcome it and control it is about awareness. If a gambler is aware of all the problems that will arise from gambling, then surely they will be able to study them, overcome them and control them. Not many of them have good awareness and by not having such awareness they will not be able to learn it, overcome it and control in gambling. But indeed, the main thing to raise awareness is because there is a strong will in oneself, it is difficult to overcome problems in gambling because we will keep trying again and again without realizing that we have lost more.

Yes, it can be controlled. With a strong mentality, you could lessen it and this is no different from smoking habits and drinking problems.
It's all in the mind as if you must do it every day, habitually or else your day won't be complete.
If you could change that kind of rhythm then you could minimize the number of times doing it in a day. That's how I quit smoking and that's how I also controlled my gambling habits when I was into dice before.
I stopped dice and focused on sports gambling, this way I am in control and the bets are not continuous avoiding stress.

Gambling-related behavior can be controlled but it will depend on how self-controlled the gambler is. Most people who have played gambling will return to the gambling table and spend a lot of time gambling and make they lose a lot of money. Perhaps limiting the amount of money and the length of time you gamble can help you control your gambling addiction. But it will come back again how well you can control yourself to be able to quit gambling.

Based on my experience, yes it can be followed and it is really possible. I remember the time that I am not aware that I was wasting so much money or beyond my budget limit and realizing it when I almost lost everything, it is not an easy process but if you are really persistent it is possible. I also believe that each player has its own coping mechanism they can discover to themselves to avoid gambling addiction and in my case it is playing online games. It took me away to gambling but I still do play gambling but with strict budget limitation and time and setting a winning and losing money would help a lot too.

Studies is not completely right most of the time because they are only basing in the people they interviewed and observe but this not talk about the reality, controlling gambling can happen once the said gambler had been briefed and knowledgeable from the beginning of His gambling career but if he is not? then this can be very hard to happen.

those who gamble with full target of winning are mostly the people that turns out a  addicted one because they only set one goal and that is to win.

but those who can control themselves are mostly those people that understand enjoyment and also the fun.

Gambling addiction just like every other physiological disorder can be controlled, and the process of controlling an addiction may not seem easy but then with self-determination and exclusion from all related gambling activities will go a long way to fixing that behavioral misplacement. And also other forms of treatment can be carried out on the gambler who can not handle that withdrawal process personally.

Fighting gambling addiction is not easy, the reason why most addicts gamble again is when they have been affected very well in real life to the point they know they have to stop as they do not make progress but using the money that supposed to be used for better things to gamble, when they start realizing that gambling is not for money making. It can be controlled, but very difficult. This has been my personal life experience but actually I controlled mine, but almost seem like impossible to be controlled.

Honestly the best thing to control any sort of addictive behavior you might have succumbed to is to stop it entirely. If you're addicted to cigarettes, then you should cut them out entirely and not have "just one" which can draw you back into the habit. When quitting you also need to be aware of the triggers which start you off, if you gamble on a Friday evening after a long week at work - go find a new activity to fill your time. The initial few weeks are the toughest until you "rewire" your brain to break the connection with your formed behavior patterns.

You can control yourself from gambling addiction but you must follow some rules or advice.There is no work in this world that people cannot do if they want to.Everything is possible by man. But there must be the most will power. Gambling can never be emotional.Whenever you become passionate about gambling, there will be a great deal of greed in you.Only by dealing with this greed can you come back from gambling addiction.You always have to keep yourself disciplined.And the biggest thing is never think of yourself as rich in gambling money.

Of course anyone can but not most of it succeed, they have to deal with other factors when they want to suppress this kind of addiction. I think the tip to follow is so simple, right down what you need to do to suppress it and make it sure that everyday you'll be reminded by it.

Of course it is possible to control gambling behaviors. You just need to first be able to control yourself, your surroundings and anything that may or may not put you in an emotional state in which you are more vulnerable to losing money because of bad decisions or rash mistakes. How do these mistakes happen? Well you start losing streaks and that makes you angry, your wife calls you and makes you even more frustrated, your boss yells at you and now you are ready to lose everything because your emotional state has compromised you to the point where you just do not care about anything. Thats when you lose control.

It's actually possible to control your gambling behavior. Everything in this life is gradually having a cure. It's one thing to have a cure and another thing to admit that you need a cure and a more different thing to accept that cure.
 To stop a gambling, you need have a lot of discipline and determination. It's not a thing of "I need to stop this, it's slowly eating at me" but making conscious efforts.

When do people usually have behavioral problems in gambling? That is when they started gambling uncontrolled. Since online gambling is now the safest and platform (with out hassle and easy to play at home) , many gamblers are busy with it all day long. If someone loses too much in gambling, then there will be behavioral problem with him, and if someone gain much, then also there will be a change in his behavior. That is, when he wins more in gambling he also panics to win more. So according to me the only solution to this behavioral problem is meditation.

To answer your question, Yes, it is possible to control or avoid gambling addiction however it will depends on the individual or the gambler if they are willing to do so.
One of the best thing for you to control your gambling activity is not to gamble for financial purpose only as you'll be desperate to gamble to earn more money and possibly greed will consume you. Also, having a hobby to keep your mind out of gambling would also help you out a lot as you will not focused to gambling. Self discipline and budgeting would also help you limit your gambling activities.

You can only control it at the earliest time that you detected it, or there is interference coming from your family,  but once gambling addiction takes a hold of you and you have a weak character I don't think you can fight the urge anymore, still the best wat to fight addiction is having a good upbringing and family relationship, if you are depressed we look at platform where you can forget about it and release your frustration and gambling is one of them.

Hard to detect it already, usually gambling addictions are only known when you are deep into it that it might have affected you and your family in a bad way. But we've seen that there are gamblers who really overcome their addiction and even becoming an advocate. Tips? not sure about it, for me I was able to stop it when there is no more source of income to me, lost my job so obviously, I don't have the money to continue my gambling. But it might depend on each individuals, others in my case would perhaps look for other avenue like borrowing money. In my end, no, I just decided to quit and adopt and prioritize that time.

Meditation? Really? How is that going to help? To meditate you have to stop gambling first and sit down in a calm environment where nobody can bother you, with no phones ringing and messengers beeping. How is someone who is gambling at work or in an internet cafe going to find such place? Given that a person is home alone, if that person cannot control gambling urges they will not stop and start meditating. They will sit and play until they run out of money or the computer breaks.

Any behavior that is not related to chemical addiction (like drugs or hormonal disorders that force a person to eat) can be controlled by ordinary discipline. To avoid gambling addiction, simply do not gamble. It's simple. Everything else is a complication of this simple solution. And in order to reduce the attraction to gambling, I would advise you to study mathematics in order to analyze gambling from the point of view of mathematics. After that, the veil of mystery and attractiveness disappears forever.

After my last gambling loss, it left an indelible mark on me. It was more a moral defeat than material damage. After that, not wanting to repeat it, I solved the problem by following your advice (although it happened a few months ago) and simply stopped gambling and even just visiting their sites.

And you are right here too. I was also finally influenced by the fact that one article caught my eye, in which a gambling player with many years of gambling addiction and big losses talks about his addiction. The peculiarity of his story was just that he describes everything from the point of view of mathematics and about the 100% loss of each player in the long run (without going into details). This information came to me at the right time, which finally influenced my decision.

It's just a matter of self-discipline and self-control. They say that if there's a will there's also a way. If we're determined to quit gambling we should stop playing and totally eliminate gambling in our lives. We might think that it's hard but if we're willing to change things and make our lives better, we better quit with willingness and determination, especially if gambling is ready ruining our lives.

There is nothing that can help a gambling addict until he realized that he has to stop as it is becoming a problem for him. If gambling addict can know this early and know that the more he gamble, run out of money, find money, gamble again and run out of money to the extent of selling some properties and nothing good occur but the addiction getting worse, if he realize all these and begin self-discipline, getting medical and counseling help, he likely will change, but if people thinking meditation can help, even if he has no access to phones and other devices, his mind will truly only be there to gamble again. Self-discipline matters and the best way to wake up from gambling addiction.

It is more of a word to ourselves and our subconscious so that we can completely avoid gambling addiction. Maybe it will be difficult the first time because it is the same as changing the habits that we have been doing for a long time. But if we are successful at doing it for the first time and can persist for some time, we will not find it difficult to keep doing it and in the end, we will be able to overcome the gambling addiction.

It is easier to control our gambling behavior if we are not yet in the state of addiction. But even so I admit that it is not easy. I am far from being an addicted gambler myself but there were several times when I could not but continue betting or playing even if I am already losing big.

Sometimes it is really a hard thing to go against desperation or the urge to recover your loss. I can only imagine how it would be a lot harder on the part of those who are already consumed by addiction.

Self awareness is the first thing to healing from addiction, we all know that we did not admit so easily to the things that we aren't aware of course or to the things we keep on denying since we all know that it is not a good for us and for the people in our environment , but as much as we deny it we are continuously falling to addiction and every person in our environment are affected.

There are lots of stories that abounds about people who were able to beat gambling addiction. Some of them achieved it alone while for some others they got professional help. For example,  "this user share their story" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5404360.msg60467652#msg60467652) on how they beat gambling. Although people have their addictions, I do believe that the steps to getting help are fundamentally the same. And so to answer your question, yes, it is possible to control gambling behaviours. You may ask how? In my own opinion, the first step is acceptance. A person can't make a conscious effort towards controlling their gambling before if they haven't accepted that first, they are addicted and secondly that they need help. After which, the other steps will flow quite smoothly.

Gambling behavior can be controlled but I don't think it's really easy the way people think, some gambler's that are addicted to gambling, they really want to stop it but it's not really easy, some have tried everything they can do but still endup going back to it. I have a friend that can gamble with everything he is having, he tried every means to stop it but is not really easy for the guy. The best thing is not to get addicted right from beginning, if you are gambling always learn to control yourself before you get addicted to it, when you are addicted to it, it might be difficult to stop.

It is really can possible controllable it all depends on the gambler in the first place they make a lot of limitations to themselves by this they can still play at the same time know their limits, to those gamblers who already addicted some of them cant control themselves they make more overthink of a lot of "whats if " they win the game and they can get more profit that's the reason why some of them losses a lot and of course because of the tons of losing they want to earn it back as their second phase after that they will stop. It is ideal if you make a gambling plan set a designated amount to play make limitation with the goal per day.

There can be different ways for everyone to end their gambling addiction. I would like to share ways to reduce this addiction in general. Please do not gamble with large sums of money that will put yourself and your loved ones at risk. Know where to stand. It is important to be busy with different things to end the addiction. It will be useful to turn attention to other activities, to engage in crafts, art, sports, music, car. You may feel alone in this. Ask a trusted family friend or friend for support. It is necessary to change the lifestyle and replace the negative habits with positive behaviors. You should not repeat anything you do while gambling or preparing to play. Because these behaviors can attract you to gamble again.

Knowing the negative impact of too much gambling on our finances, family, relationship, and business are reasons enough for us to quit gambling. When we could feel that we're really into gambling to the point that we're having a hard time controlling it, then that's the time that we should quit. We can do it by considering our future. Some people might say that it's hard for a gambling-addicted person to quit and stop but f it's necessary then we shouldn't have a second thought.

If you want to stop being addicted to gambling, then you should discipline yourself in order to control you thinking or searching something made you laugh and then for sure day after day you will notice that you are not part of the gamblers addict.  Some addict completed the task in order to leave the gambling, and what I've mentioned above is the only thing you should  leave in the world of gambling. Is you should think positive and free.

it seemed reasonable. When the gambler is very busy with work, there will be no time to think about gambling. After work, the gambler will feel tired and will not have an interest in doing anything else.
but it all has to start with self-will. if there is no great will then it is impossible.
because I have a neighbor who likes to do offline gambling with his friends, although in the morning he works in the evening there is always a meeting with his friends to gamble again. because there is no interest in quitting himself, it will be difficult to stop the activity that has become an addiction.

Because discipline is important to be able to control your gambling, but if you want to leave gambling, of course you have to slowly with other activities that are more useful and also enjoyable for you, for me to leave gambling is indeed difficult but we have to have a way for that so from there done with several things or maybe you want to keep gambling but not addicted, then be firm in your discipline to be able to control it better.

When you feel that you are not getting anywhere with your self-treatment, it's better to consult your doctor about it and ask for advice from your friends and relatives. It's better to prevent yourself from going to the place where it triggers your gambling addiction. Honestly, if it's only us, we cannot feel anything unless we lose big time and when we do, we might feel some regret but the motivation to play is still there as long as we have the means to do so. Patience and perseverance to avoid it are one of the cures and few can really apply that when they think gambling is harmful to them.

There are things that you can ofc do to control your gambling behavior, from limiting yourself to making sure that you are not getting overindulged in any of the addictive games, I do think that that even if you do everything you can never ignore the fact that people with ADHD, OCD and other mental afflictions might have higher chances of getting addicted, even after that you have to consider the personal circumstances as well, some might have problematic parents since a young age causing them life long trauma, therefore it can be done to an extent but then again it depends how far you can control that sort of behavior to be honest.

Of course it is very possible, but it is hard to give specific tips as it is something related to mindset and self control.
Even if you get so many tips/suggestion, but if you are unable to control your mindset, it will be useless.
Since it is related to gambling, you can start yourself with time and money management but of course you need to be so strict with yourself.
I mean, once you reach your limit in both time and money, you have to stop and you should control yourself to not break your own limit.

I don't think there's anything that people can't do. And if it's gambling I don't think it's impossible.  Now when people become addicted to something, it becomes difficult to hope to get back from it, but it is not impossible.  Maybe not at once but in my opinion all you have to do in the beginning to come back from the addiction is to gradually reduce gambling.Then after thinking for a while about your conscience, family and your ability, I think you can come back from this behaviour.

I'm sure similar threads on this topic have been discussed many times and the point remains the same that this conclusion will lead to self-control, not using gambling as a means of routine financial income, and many tips and tricks that you must have gotten.

Have you ever been at the point of boring gambling and temporarily lazy to gamble? because the gameplay is almost the same, there is nothing that makes it different. And at that point, you feel gambling is very saturated, bored, and no longer fun. even though you have money to bet but it feels like the saturation point won us to stop gambling.

Gambling addiction is a common problem and there are several ways to treat it to reduce the level of addiction or even stop gambling. Emotion control and issue transfer are some of the things that support addicts to control gambling, but if the addiction has reached a compulsive level then it should be dealt with specifically.

I never know how many gamblers have managed to completely treat their addiction but I'm sure there are enough gamblers who are able to control their urge to gamble especially if gambling is not where they make money. I just set a limit of money I will spend on gambling per week or month, if I have reached it then I have to stop.

Good or much better to say that a best practice to do when you are into this kind of entertainment, setting your limits and never to exceed will let you avoid getting addicted, there are many addicted gamblers who falls of being compulsive people who can't control their minds and keeps repeating same losing outcome when they are in gambling, the need of specialist to guide and treat those kinds of gamblers is a must, while for some, just a self medication or self-will is good enough while keep themself busy away from this activities.

Definitely, gambling behaviors can be controlled.  That is why there are gambling professionals.  I also think Compulsive gambler can be able to control their urge and this depends on the level of their gambling addiction.  If they are slightly addicted to gambling, I think they can be able to do it themselves by applying the method you stated.  But if they are deeply rooted then that is the time when all the needed help is needed.  We have seen lots of gambling addicts being able to recover from their gambling addiction, and that is proof that gambling behavior can be controlled.

You summarized the topic in almost simple words that dispense with all that difference in opinions that we see in the comments over the five pages of this topic.
Indeed, most of those who fall into addiction have no other activity they can follow, besides those who have a useful activity for part of their day can easily overcome the behavioral addiction to betting and gambling.

Gambling behaviour could be controlled with several factors. Tight financial budgeting, more activities other than just gambling, and other stuff would keep you busy.
But for an addicted person, it is very difficult to control it.
Even with series of therapy, there's no guarantee that this person won't go back to his old vices.
Therefore, no tips or advices that works for an addicted gambler if hi himself isn't willing to help his own.

The problem is in priorities - if a player appreciates gambling more than all that you have listed, then he will not give up gambling. For addicts, this is how it works. Therefore, in order to save them from addiction, you should not put pressure on their sense of duty or try to prove that your picture of the world is more correct, but offer some kind of alternative to gambling.

I agree, Offering alternatives could be the way to let him reduce the gambling activities he have or try to make him focus on other things such as hobbies, sports and other things that really matters in life. It would be hard but after making the gambler realize his priority, The gambler could possibly let himself avoid or lessen his gambling activities for the sake of important things in life. It's hard to make an addict quit but it's possible.

An addiction is not an addiction for nothing. People deal with this in different ways, of course. If you like gambling, you have to accept that you lose every now and then. Above all, don't live in your own dream that you can gamble well and that it was not luck that you won. Many people have tried to stop gambling at one time, but it is almost impossible. the longer you are gambling in years, the longer it will take you to get out again. Or accept that it is part of your life.

When it comes to gambling addiction, you weren't born with it and with that being a fact, it simply means you formed the habit due to exposure and as such, you could successfully curb it too. Maybe not permanently but, a seriously addicted gambler can reduce it to some level that it doesn't get to raise an eyebrows.

Curbing gambling addiction means you've got to be some really disciplined individual or perhaps you get to learn that too. It's mostly self control and this intelligence that, you get to define your level of exposure and precisely the point where you would say no more after loosing some money to gambling.

You tend to reorientation yourself and maybe assign a specific amount for gambling monthly and once that money is exhausted, you pause until you get fresh funds.

This in turn would curb your desires to think of gambling to make money out of it and would be something you do and possibly, a bad hobby of yours.

Having that change mindset and particular goals and if someone is really that eager or dedicative on quitting or avoiding gambling then we can actually do it without any help from other people.
It do only matters on self control and discipline with your emotion and mindset because if you dont accept nor realize on what are the things you've been risking with gambling then you would
really be creating huge problem ahead which is something that not all would be able to easily get out specially if we do talk about addiction. Its not bad to gamble but it do requires
out that you should really be playing for fun and not for money.Intent is what makes people desperate and if you are into this path then consider yourself on getting addicted on long term.

To control yourself from gambling behavior you must correct yourself.If it can be corrected on its own, it will be possible to control gambling behavior.Gambling can never be turned into an emotion. If you make money by gambling, don't dream of getting rich with it.Whenever you try to get rich with gambling money but you become most addicted to gambling.So I would say you can get rid of gambling addiction only if you can get rid of this dream of getting rich from gambling money.

Someone should control their emotion in gambling because it helps a lot especially if they are feeling down or getting a lot of losses already. No matter what happens don't ever think that you can win back what you lost in gambling because that will make it more worse. Although, it may sounded like easy but it takes some patience and self-control to control the urge of playing gambling once you felt that you are losing already. And that's right, don't think gambling as a source of income even if you feel the feeling of winning already because that's just temporary.

everything can be controlled when there is a strong intention to change that comes from within that person. There have been many stories about people who have successfully changed from being an addict to being someone who is able to control themselves from all forms of their addiction. it's not easy to be able to shift focus (slowly start leaving gambling to focus on other things such as sports etc.) but everything can be tried.
