I think that maybe this question might have repeated over time but still I was Saying that I have seen that when we loose almost 50% of our portfolio in loss than we get nervous and we don't know what to do. As we work hard and make our lives better but we end up loosing our money. So I think these cloud be main symptoms. And these are listed below as these are according to me.
1. First things is that we want all in all to cover our losses in just one bet.
2. We use leverage that is more than enough to blow account in matter of minutes and that is very bad.
3. We don't know what to do.
4. We get addicted to gambling and that is bad.
5. We become frustrated and some people end up loosing their lives cause they don't have any choice.

By the way don't Roast me 🙂😜

symptoms?

do u consider gambling a disease or something?

it is contagious.. i'd give u that, it is how i started and there is no vaccine so far.

the only precaution u need to take is self control.

but on a serious note, everyone looses in gambling.

winning requires strategy, money management and a bit of luck.

The main symptom of losing gambling is when greed has taken over the minds and hearts of gamblers, so that we cannot stop gambling even though we have won, and most people do the same thing after being greedy, increasing leverage and wanting their money back, I realized when I pondered why I always lose at gambling, it turns out that what causes me to lose at gambling and continuously is that we have greed within us.
I'm sure that some of you also feel and do the same thing, especially in playing slots.

The first series of losses are the hardest that includes chasing your losses you have sleepness nights you cannot eat and it's running in your head for several days that will cause you headaches, that's what I experienced on my first series of losses, you have no choice but to realize that gambling is not something to make a profit and you have to treat it as an entertainment failure to do it will be your biggest headaches for a few days sometimes weeks.

     -   That's why most people here always say to only gamble with the extra money you have, never use the money reserved for your family or other things to gamble.

Because you will gamble just to think that you will get rich or maybe you will get the jackpot, boom, you will suddenly get rich. There is no such thing, if there is maybe 1% and the 99% are gamblers who always lose playing games. Remember that all types of casino apps online are programmed to only consume the money of gamblers, that's the truth.

So when you are addicted to gambling, this is a big problem for you as a gambler because it will be difficult for you to get rid of it for sure.

You won’t be nervous how much percentage you already loss if you are only using the amount of money you can afford to lose. You will just be nervous if losing certain percentage of your bankroll whenever you are playing a bankroll that is too huge for you.


To summarize those symptoms. You can simply watch for yourself if you are already betting in uncontrollable manner. I always stop playing whenever I’m already betting more than twice of my original bet when I start betting. Increasing the original bet amount to an insane amount is already a clear sign that you are losing your self control.

Not sure why you're saying symptoms because most of gamblers will lose in the long term due to house edge. If you think gambling is to make money, then you're wrong and better to learn if gambling is only for entertainment.

In slot, there's no strategy.

Either slot, poker, sport etc it do require a lot of luck because you can't predict the future by using your analysis.

I do not think that the sparkling irresponsibility can be conveyed by any symptoms. Virtually every gambler loses a large sum of money and it is good when with this kind of experience comes responsibility and understanding that gambling can only be done with money that would not be sorry to lose. If a gambler does not learn any lessons from the losses, then he had better stay away from gambling, because gambling will bring him only frustration (of course, if he does not turn out to be the lucky one who will win a big score).

No one wants to lose money, especially money that you can't afford to lose, losing in gambling is very frustrating if you expect to win but if you're playing for entertainment losing will have no bad symptoms and will have no impact on your overall mental health, the most important when you're gambling is your mental health make sure that when you stop gambling you enjoy it if not you will feel frustrated and it's not good on your overall well being.

What do you mean what could be the symptoms? Basically if you lose in your session in gambling, that's already a loss. There's no "according to you" difference. It's going to be always "when you lose money" is getting loss. There's no other thing about it.

Once you can accept that, then that's probably the moment you would win. Because you will try another day and you would not try to chase ALL your losses.

The symptoms of getting loss in gambling is going into the game focusing on winning alone. Players who focus on winning alone could get disappointed along the line and make wrong decisions when they fail to win. Other attributes to losing in gambling include failure to study the game and not knowing when to stop gambling. Before gambling a player should dedicate time; 1-3 hours to gamble, and once the time elapse they can stop gambling and do other things. It'll help the player to take their stakes serious having in mind that they have a limited time to play, even if a playing is winning with good discipline they'll stop once the time elapse and play the next time. This also allows a gambler enough time to think over the game and also study different strategies that worked during the previous game.

People get lost in the process of gambling because they don't know when to stop and when to continue. You see, it is necessary to have discipline and self-control in gambling because if you don't, you'll eventually go overboard and chase winnings after winnings because of the profit or chase winnings after losses to get even and earn back the funds you've lost. If you become obsessive in playing to the point where you no longer can distinguish what you have to do, then it's a clear sign that you are slowly getting lost and being consumed by your desire to gamble whatever the motivation behind it is.

Betting what more than you can afford to lose and going beyond your boundaries such as money allocation for gambling and time spent in gambling are mostly the first signs.
in this case, you can still redeem yourself by removing the bad habits and talking to a professional for help to avoid being addicted as time pass by.

You mean "symptoms of a gambler losing in gambling" right? Just basing on the 5 things that you shared.

Overall, the 5 things you shared might be symptoms of a gambler losing in gambling especially the 4th and the 5th one. The 4th one is just pretty straightforward. You lose in gambling, you might end up using more money to gamble and you lose again. As for the 5th one, obviously we will get frustrated if we incur losses in gambling unless we already accepted right from the start that the money that we used is already a loss money. Worst thing a gambler can do is to take his own life just because of the losses that he got in gambling.

There are many symptoms I guess, like the gambler is depressed, the gambler can't focus on the things that he is doing normally because he's thinking about his losses, etc. etc.

There are lots of negative effects that can affect someone when they lose gambling, what you said is true, the first effect that someone will feel when they lose gambling is to experience depression mentally and psychologically.
Most people when they have experienced defeat at gambling they usually do not accept their defeat and they put even more money with the aim of returning past losses, this will only make them lose more money, disturbed psychology makes them do this.

But in conditions like that it will actually make you lose even more and I'm pretty sure about that. When you lose at gambling, it would be better if you stop it regardless of how much the loss is because if it continues, it is emotion and greed that will haunt you, which will only make matters worse.
There is still tomorrow and we don't need to rush for it because thinking calmly is actually one way to stop losing. When you gamble and do points one and two it's not worth it because the goal is no longer to have fun but more to take revenge for previous defeats and this is what will lead you to a greater brink of loss.

What a savage comment  ;D the OP should have used characteristics instead of symptoms, it's more appropriate.
But on a more serious note, gambling is more or less a disease. The only difference is that diseases are curable with prevention and treatment but gambling once addicted is difficult to overcome unless you are have self discipline to control yourself.
Strategy in winning? Are you kidding?  ;D

If winning requires strategy, then every gambler will learn the strategy because no one like to lose money to bookmakers. A bit of luck is understatement, luck carry the higher percentage when it comes to gambling with a little bit of strategy IMO.

I can't understand the question, Indicating you're losing in gambling

It's simple, why need really think hard for this one. You're losing, while the money you have at that time it's down from the deposit amount you're made to the casino. That's it's losing, because your money it's down from the deposit amount you made.

The tittle and the topic it's not really suitable, because the topic it's more likely the gambling problem addiction.

You should have known in the first place that once you start gambling, you are allowing yourself to lose and definitely to lose more, so just accept it because that’s how gambling should be. Otherwise, if you consider gambling as an entertainment, losing will be nothing because you have enjoyed your game, so it’s more of a profit than a loss. That’s the reason why we should always see gambling as an entertainment rather than a source of living, at least if we lose, it will not totally hurt us.

What I understand from your post is asking how to chase losses in gambling which is not advisable, once you start chasing losses in gambling you're bound to lose more and eventually you loss control of yourself. Or perhaps I misunderstood what Op wrote.
Once a Gambler start to accept the fact or recognize that gambling is to while away time and also only spare cash should be used for gambling hen it's very unlikely for that kind of to become addicted to gambling.

Every gamblers have a sought that he always wants to win. If a gambler wins one or two bets, does he stop his gambling? Of course not, he does not try to stop it, even he thinks that after playing some time he can make his money more with in few times. In this way he does gamble and loses everything at one stage. The first symptom of a gambler is to spend lot of times in gambling. The more time it gives in gambling, the more he will lose and will be addicted. If the gambling can be managed normally by not running behind profit and loss, then something good can be expected from gambling.

That's gambling, and curiosity is very strong and inherent when playing gambling. When you win a few times, you will keep playing out of curiosity and hoping to get another win, which is actually a trap that will make you lose everything.
and when you get a little defeat, curiosity will keep you playing and hope that the next game will win, and when you win you will feel happy, which actually loses more than wins.
and all of that without realizing it because that's how the casino does it, and this must be controlled so you can think with common sense not to have excessive curiosity which will lead to addiction because you will play excessively.

Well, the only symptom of getting loss in gambling is when you have already lost more money than you won by gambling, what is quite obvious... All other points mentioned aren't exactly symptoms of getting loss in gambling, but symptoms you are developing or have already developed a gambling addiction.

Moreover, we could say that getting loss in gambling is also a possible symptom you are getting addicted, and therefore, should change your habits immediately.

We don't experience any symptoms prior to loss. Whether it is win/loss everyone have got different feeling when they gamble. My most preferred gambling game is dice. I feel nervous when I gamble, and when I was in loss I also feel dizziness. By the time my mind used to think just about the recovery of what I've lost. With the dizziness I don't know what I'm doing and in the event I've recovered what I've lost and gets into profit. By the time I used to be completely out of control and once again used to loss. This had happened several times. Some feel this to be symptom of addiction. According to me, from the day I gamble I've got such feeling.

On the time that you are aware that you are losing 50% of your funds then if you are really that intending to play gambling in the first place and already prepared on that losing condition then for sure you wouldnt really

feel any worrying but it cant really be denied that its inevitable that you wouldnt really make any reactions since we are just humans.We do value up fiat/assets that much on which on the time we do see that its

lessening or decreasing then it cant be avoided to make out that kind of thinking that we should really be tending to recover it, which is really that a normal approach to have.
This is why on the time you do touch up gambling, always only make use of the allocated funds and accept on what would be your fate since gambling is always been that going against us
if we do speak about on being lucky.

I was once in such situation and that was when playing slots.The fact that you know instantly if you have won or lost in such type of game makes you want to come back for more,the providers keeps getting better and better in providing you a storyline,a great art effects and great sound track to keep you hooked and time looks like it is flying when playing and enjoying these games,the only problem is that money also looks like is flying away  ;D from you and that is the first sign of addiction,you need more money to try and get that jackpot.

How I came out of it is simple,I just migrated to sport betting as in here for example most weekdays the games are late at night and you have to wait for the result of the games to know if you are a winner or too,this removes from you that urge to gamble that inevitably brings someone to addiction.There are other ways to fight it but this one seems to be working well.

The main consequence of being unable to control yourself when you are gambling is the massive loss of money and a huge desire to get it back as fast as possible, because of this a gambler may make a deposit thinking about recovering their money, but as we know due to their highly emotional state they are bound to make even more mistakes and blunders than usual, making very unlikely that they will ever recover that money and losing even more of it during those attempts.

It's basic psychology. If you gamble to change your life you're making yourself vulnerable. You imagine all the good things you'll be able to do with the money you win,. like it's already in your hand, and then the realization hits you in the face. You see money slipping away and you go into panic mode, you fight for survival, you stop thinking straight, like a wounded animal stalked by a predator.


Are you trying to invite people to do it?
You don't have much experience posting anything in the Internet, do you?

Stop starting threads for the sake of starting threads. There's really not much to talk about here.

I am less getting the gist of what you mean in this question. symptom, like what do you mean.
by the way, isn't losing at gambling something that is certain, and you need to know the essence of it. however, if luck is on your side. You can get the jackpot from the gambling session that you do. in gambling, losing and winning are commonplace. although as we all agree, that the probability of victory we have is smaller than the ratio of defeats we get.
but, wait a minute, that's for a purely luck-based type of game. in sports, you have many options provided by the dealer.

Well, related to the five points that you convey in this thread. apparently, this point boils down to gambling addicts who are always chasing losses. who in the end, want to recover defeat in a short time. then, the opposite happens, you don't know what to do, and just realize that you have become part of an addict. that can be considered bad, but what's worse is point 5. therefore, forget about the symptoms of your defeat in gambling. start playing for fun, with the amount you have limited. so, you will not experience symptoms of defeat which in the end will have fatal consequences.

I am not an expert, but in my opinion the first symptom for anyone to start a bad relationship with gambling is prolonged grief.
When someone losses money it is normal to feel bad, sad a bit depressed, but if that grief continues to exist for relatively long periods of time and can be only be relieved by gambling, then I would say it is time to get professional help and family support.

That is the same grief which could push anyone to seek to recover their losses through doubling down on gambling, by the way.
If anyone can forget their losses in a week or less, then it is healthy.

There is no symptom to which why people lose bets, anybody can lose a bet be it an expert or novice, and the difference between both is that while an expert makes a calculated risk, a novice makes an emotional risk, which always tells in its consistent failed results. But moreover, greed and the inability of gamblers making due research before staking a bet is another major factor why people loses bet

OP, from my understanding of what you meant. Your topic should be 'reasons to great loss in gamble'. Most problems that leads to great loss in gambling is whenever you see gambling as a way to get more money for yourself. This has been a big problem to gamblers who don't understand the pros and cons of gambling.

When you think that gambling is a means of earning a living you will be left with no option than to keep on chasing your loss thinking it can be recovered. In this process,you will get addicted to gambling and will even keep losing more everyday by day because it is impossible to win the house hedge. Self-control and setting and amount to gamble with,will be a good help to overcome great loss in gambling.

Maybe you mean the term "bankroll", as you tend to associate the word portfolio with owning lots of shares. Some may call owning stocks a gamble, but they are a much different type of risk taking and often not a zero-sum game. Back on point, if you have lost 50% of your bank roll, that should be a huge red flag that your strategy, if it ever really existed, is very broken and you should probably move down a tier while you figure out what's wrong. Of course this only applies to actual skill based games like poker, where even the best players can suffer variance but will usually only be playing with a fraction of their bank roll in any single session and drop out if bigger losses start to creep in.

This symptoms night appear a little too late since you are already playing and there are things that is beyond your control but if you remain focus and responsible, this can be curable. Addiction should be your main focus, and to avoid this one you should gamble only with your limited budget and your good discipline. Gambling can be very risky, this can also be a life threatening if left unattended, so address the issue right away and just enjoy playing.

No mate, gambling is what you can make profits from, let us not deceive ourselves and be misled by our constant and current losses, because we have some players who are good and lucky to have made a fortune from betting.

-Trying to chase losses is by far the most dangerous thing to do, this attitude is what leads to addiction in most cases of extreme addicts, so we are advised to always take a break if the luck is not working for us and not to force it.

Losing is already part of gambling. In fact, we often lose than gain profits. And that’s how gambling works since it’s a type of business where the house will always takes the win leaving the players at loss. And no matter how strategic you are in gambling, as long as you didn’t get the luck and certain skills, you will never make it big with gambling.

Make yourself aware on what you are doing, the wrong thing on which most gamblers do commit out is that on the time that they do engage on gambling, they soon lose control
of theirselves and this is where bad decisioning would happen.If you are that type of person who do have that self awareness as always when it comes to things on what they are
doing then you wouldnt really be get easily addicted with gambling. You do know that you do have the limits and something that you should really be following
on or else you do now on what are the consequences.

Those five things you mentioned would be the possible scenarios that you can experience whenever you're on the losing end and it's best to have some form of solutions that you can keep in mind because it's going to happen a lot of the time as losses happen frequently in gambling no matter what.

Aside from the five on your list, the other thing I did back then whenever i'm losing badly is instead of stopping I would extend my session impulsively then I would slowly lose my perception of time and realize that i've spent several hours just from gambling.

I never get nervous even if I am losing way more than 50% of my bankroll.  The reason is that I only play the money I can afford to lose.  If we are playing with the free money, with no obligation attached, it doesn't matter whether we lost it or not since it will not affect our day-to-day expenses.  Often times those who got nervous are people that play with compromised money.  They play with the money that has already been allocated to the household's budget or payment for bills.  But in case a person feels uncomfortable, he can always end his session to preserve the remaining balance and play another day.

Yeah I would say that most of what you have written is pretty accurate.  I think when it comes to gambling and gambling losses, you simply have to be prepared to take big losses if you want to try and win big.  It's kind of like investing in the stock market, the higher the risk, the higher the reward.  The worst thing people tend to do is bet big to try and make up for losses but betting big on something they don't totally have faith or knowledge in...just trying to quickly (and slopilly)make your money back.

Well, gambling is a game of the mind, one must apply wisdom when gambling, before going into gambling, one should already know that there will be loses, and prepare adequately for it, only but a few thinks in life comes out as a win - win for people, it is not so in gambling, gambling is a  win or lose game, there is no third option, it is my believe that any body who feels matured enough to handle any kind of winning in gambling, such person should also be matured enough to handle loses as well, because in gambling, loses and wins go hand in hand.

Regardless of anything, gamblers get out of hand resulting in addiction because of the inability of becoming a responsible gambler.

Winning or losing doesn't have any difference as gamblers really want to gain "more and more and more" money as much as possible.

When winning, instead of taking a break, still will continue, when losing, will do anything just to bounce back. If only a gambler can think of the best possible ways after winning or losing, there might be a chance not to fall into a much worst situation.

If losing 50% of the deposit amount on our gambling has made us nervous, it actually proves that we are gamblers who chase victory, so it is not easy to accept the fact that the balance has decreased. it would be better for the player to stop playing and no longer gamble because he will later become depressed because he sees his money being lost at gambling.
When a player has focused on winning, the pressure he gets will be greater than if just playing for fun, it's not easy to be happy when we lose, but at least losing doesn't make us lose control because gambling is only for fun, not money, so when you lose, it will easily forget defeat and will not be interested in pursuing what has been lost.

Don't recognize the symptoms but rather recognized the problem right away.

One step of making the solution is to recognized the problem, not symptoms.

We already know that users addicted to gambling because of obvious reasons. That's what we need to solve.

no, not kidding. that's disgusting..  :-[

the only gambling i do is poker and sports betting.

and it does requires a good strategy, like when to cut losses, make book, etc.

luck can only carry you so far but u do need it.

but so far, i don't see any "symptoms" in me.

maybe i am immune like 'ellie'.

I feel like this totally depends on individuals. Both most common symptom is to seek covering ALL losses at couple of takes. It is very very dangerous gambler mistake. In a game where you have pretty limited chance its nearly impossible to cover your losses in such quick move. Gambling is not working it can't guarentee profits if you try hard.
On the other hand, I also think its common to observe that some gamblers have anger management issues. If a person doesn't have enough patience, should never gamble at all.

I think you should replace the word "symtoms" with "warning signs" ....because that is what it is.

1. If you cannot stop thinking of gambling, then you are already half way down the rabbit hole.
2. If you spend money meant for other important expenses on gambling, that should raise a red flag
3. If you neglect your family and friends and spend too much time on gambling, you should start to worry.
4. If you start chasing losses and act recklessly with huge bets, then take a break.

Those are just some of the warning signs, people should look out for, when it looks like someone is having problems with gambling addiction.

Greed is something that makes many people experience losses in gambling. They lose control of themselves because they are too hasty and greedy to be able to profit from their game, even though they have already lost a lot before. Greed and lack of self-control are the main reasons why most people lose and even go bankrupt. Even if they can manage their game and their finances and can manage their emotions, I think gambling is something fun.

what I was about to type, we jump in on gambling because of the price tag and often times we end up not calculating our moves properly, we all have times we've lost a game or two, no doubt but when it's continuous, our strategy is questionable.

this all summon one thing and that is Addiction , though being greed and noob is the cause of everything but remember that it is our doing that will bring bad outcome in gambling.
and all of this are just a outcome of wrong decisioning , so make it best for you and only you because it is your life that will be wasted and not ours .

Going through your list it all sounds like very easy mistakes that all of us can avoid. I would put your 2.) point as the most important mistake that should be avoided, never use borrowed money when gambling. In the movies it might look nice when someone uses leverage to make a huge profit, but that isn't the real world and we are more likely to lose large sums of money than to win. Your 1,3 and 5. point  all sound very similar and can be avoided of we are using a gambling strategy. For years now I use a martingale approach to gambling that helps me a lot to know exactly how much I should be betting each round. The more we gamble the harder it is to keep track of our situation and make the right decision, a good strategy can help a lot here.

What symptom do you mean, whereas we know that people who are addicted to gambling are usually because they are never satisfied with the results of their winnings so there is no reaching a certain point to stop, it all depends on how people control themselves, gambling addiction can still be cured just the same with drug addiction, change the mindset in playing gambling slowly it will cure gambling addiction within yourself. Don't get frustrated keep trying to think positive  ;)

The most important warning sign for me is not having a gambling plan or budget. Some people don't have control over their gambling habits because they don't have restrictions or guidelines. I see people in casinos that are always attracted to people's bets. Immediately you tell them that these numbers are sure bets, even if they have exceeded their limit, they will still stake again without considering the consequences it will have on their finances. If you gamble within your limits losses will not be too painful and it will not also lead to chasing losses because you are not desperate.

I want to also add that one of the warning signs is when you borrow money because you want to use it to gamble.
Another sign is when one abandons his official duty and spends his time gambling.

I don't think recovering losses in one bet will work because we can get bigger losses too.
If it is because of gambling, we better not have too high hopes of winning a lot of money because we will have a hard time getting it.
And that can frustrate us in our pursuit of victory in gambling which is not easy.
If you play gambling, you should not really have the desire to chase victory and you should only play for fun and stop immediately after getting it.

These options vary from player to player and your discipline deternmines all of them. As a gambler when you enter a loss that you never expected, the first thing you need to do is to take a break and the timing depends on how much you lost, if you lost big, take long break and get yourself together and if its a small, take the break but it should be short time and rethink how you can make back more money and not how to make back the loss, if you do that, you will become attach to the past and that will not make you win games. Time heal us and having a break outside gambling will make you recover from losses quickly.

It's funny when you put it like that. ;D
There is no vaccine though because we believe we can hit it big if we keep playing. Aside from that, gambling is fun (I don't know if it's just me or a general feeling). We just have to know how to gamble so it doesn't become addictive. Like you said "self-control"

I believe however good you are at gambling you require a certain percentage of luck to win. Some days everything just goes my way, if people see they would think I'm a guru at gambling but it was just cheer luck, nothing special. Somethings I just listen to my intuition. Don't get me wrong, strategy is a big factor but so is luck. 

Symptoms of getting lost in gambling? If it is a symptom of losing, I think when you have lost almost 20%-50%, that is the most obvious symptom you should pay attention to. You should get out of the casino immediately before you lose all the money and cannot recover your previous losses.

If you have lost almost 50% of your money, you should not play gambling again and don't even think about recovering losses because that will be very difficult. By experiencing a loss of almost 50%, your emotions will increase and you will forget to control yourself. It will make you even more eager to recover from losses. Do not let yourself lose self-control which can cause you to experience a total loss.

And that is because we just want to have it back in the quickest possible way. It's like a mental syndrome that we can't get over until we realize that it's highly unlikely that we can recover it within a snap chance.

I'm thinking of this more with margin trading but it's just the same with #1 that we all want to have it on a single blow and get away if ever fate is with us.

Jumping to the last one, this is hard to be stopped. While some are winning, there's also a huge number that vast gamblers are not just gambling with their money but also playing with their emotions.

And coming to that point that they want to recover all that they've lost, they're doing things that might be against their will but they resort to it because they think that it will be easy doing it. Selling their properties, expensive assets, jewelries, etc. and worst comes worst, ending their lives due to frustration and most likely, they can't get away with the debt and shame they've taken.

I won't be roasting you but I wish to add some more information about what you started.

Getting greedy is also one way of losing more money. When we chase our losses, we tend to over-bet because we want our money back and more. It should not be like that. Just chase the amount that was lost or another way is just bet half of what was gone. We don't really need to go all the way in one bet to add profits. 
It could be done slowly because online casinos or sports bookies are not going anywhere. We have to remember that.

When you rush to gamble and after you have played to discover that you have made a mistake that couldn't be corrected, by then it would have been too late because one rush to gamble, also from experience, those that got addicted always plays not minding the risk involved with loosing their entire money because it something they are used to doing with ease not thinking about the consequences later.

There's no symptoms of getting loss or win in gambling, it's just because of your psychology who think you can predict the future by just feeling the similar pattern about your previous gambling history. It doesn't work like that since the outcome or result isn't being manipulated or settled by the casino, it's purely of your luck. If you find something wrong about the casino, then you can report it.

I only know one indicator when you're about to lose big time in gambling. That is when you're trying to chase for your losses and started to become frustrated about your previous losses.
This has been discussed over and over again, but I guess this will not really helping for those who is addicted with gambling.
No matter how many indicators and advices we make, if that person who's got addicted is not willing to help himself, then time will just be wasted with all of these.

Just, don't be dumb. That's all you need. Regardless of what symptoms you may feel, a simple self-check is more than enough to see whether or not you're getting too "into" it, specifically a simple wallet check. I'd consider those symptoms to be much more useful when it comes to trading or something of the sort but in gambling? Really, enjoy, but keep it controlled, simple as that. If you want to keep going even if you lost out a lot already, as long as you have money then why not?

In just one word, it is greed for winning and earning more money. This is really the symptoms of getting losses, though sometimes we won't notice it but others can. It's like when you start to bet big and it is a risky move just to get back your losses, as well as when you win, even though you are lucky, you still play more and bet more and end up losing. We should control our greed so that it won't control us.

Failure to set a gamble strategy in a game that you are staking on will lead you to loss because you don't take it serious. If you don't study the game that you are gambling on,you will find out that you will end up losing only if that day is your lucky game because luck plays a vital role in gambling than skills. Another thing is when you allow your emotions to control you when gambling,this can make you keep on playing and before you know it you have lost big. The last is greed,a gambler that is greedy fails to stop gambling when he has won a good amount of money. Instead,he feels that he has understand the game and before he knows it,he might end up losing all that he has on him.

No bettor avoids suffering a loss. Every gambler suffers defeat occasionally. One of the causes of suffering substantial gambling losses is greed. You will lose everything if you are very greedy and try to win everything at once instead of taking it slowly. Chasing your losses is a significant sign as well. You start losing more money the instant you start trying to recover losses. With gambling, it is challenging to recover from losses, and trying to do so can become addictive.

Lossing is part of gambling and even strategic and analytic gamblers could fail at it. I agree that being greedy and irresponsible gambling could lead to more losses. If we don't set a certain limit and we continuously chase our losses, we will be trapped and get higher losses in the future which may end up with regrets.
How we handle our emotions has a big part in our gambling results. We can't avoid losses but if we know how to deal with them, we could apply the right mindset to our gambling journey.

A gambler must control his greed in gambling. It is one of the major conditions for a beginner. Here no one can accurate by giving advice to anyone. Nowadays online gambling is spreading everywhere so no one can identified a gambler. If he cannot control his greed by himself then he will not be able to go far in gambling. Every human being has a desire to get more but it can be one kind of test in gambling. The more controlled a gambler is at gambling, the longer he can survive.

The hardest part in overcoming  my gambling experience is recovering loses thus gambling blindly without following or defying my guidelines after getting frustrated by fix amount of losses I incurred, though it's the money lost is what I can afford to lose, unfortunately trying to win back those loses often resulted to more losses this has to do with my inability to control emotions, however I have been trying to get over it by completely closing down my gambling App once I lost the fix allocated fund for gambling that day thus I will wait till another day for a new opportunity this had been helping me a lot in recovering the losses.

I'm interested in what you said, that in fact that's what we often experience isn't it. my guess, that what you say is part of your experience. Of course, our experiences too. however, sorry if I'm wrong.

Regardless of what you said, there are many gamblers who do not realize that they are already classified as addicted. or, they deny that they are gambling addicts. cases like this, I find a lot in real life. I mean, in my environment. the most interesting part is, winning or losing makes no difference as gamblers are eager to earn money. however, this conclusion seems imprecise. I think, win or lose, they are always obsessed with always getting more results than before in every gambling session. but what happens, usually the opposite. many of the gamblers are out of control which results in the inability to be a responsible gambler. actually, we can also discuss this case from various perspectives. but ideally, should be, gamblers realize what they are doing and are at stake. because of the risks and consequences, they are quite diverse and can have a worse impact.

And, yes, being a responsible gambler is hard enough and not easy. not infrequently, we are often faced with the same situation. but still, those of us who have experience should have good enough self-control and make gambling only part of a hobby.

When a gambler is affected by the money he or she loses, that person spent more than he or she can afford. That is dangerous because the person will spend money again that is greater than what they are willing to lose to cover their losses. The situation continues, and it will get even worse when they lose the savings of their families. There are individuals willing to take out loans for their gambling and get the money they lost. If debts build up and there is not enough money to pay them, relationships with friends and family will suffer.

Been there done that. I still have those moments... but I risk only what's left from deposited amount, I try to not add more.


In a way, we are all addicted to something! The bottom line is simple, it's not bad if you like to do it and it doesn't hurt anyone, no matter what people/old books/traditions/laws & rules say.


Every loss is frustrating, but losing what you can't afford to lose creates a lot bigger frustration... that's staying even when you wake up the next morning. I think there's not enough talk about responsible gambling and the risks associated with gambling.


I will not roast you. It's easy to get lost in gambling... It's fun and games as long as we play with amounts we can afford to lose, but everything beyond that will get us into some problems. So once again, responsible gambling can save us from many troubles.

I was irresponsible, and in a way I still am. I spend what I can afford to lose, but I think I could have done better with all that money spent on gambling... or it's just a gambler's dilemma "It would have been better if I had played some other game".

Yeah there are several symptoms of failure in gambling that oeiole should always look out for and all the oints you've mentioned so far are also very crucial points band people always have to look out for those links and now I just want to make some contributions to the points OP have listed here already which includes:
1. Avoid thread gambling and this simply means that we should avoid betting on a particular match because others are doing exactly so because at some point major might be right especially in gambling.
2. Avoiding chasing after losses as this is very common amongst new gamblers and at the long run, they end up in big losses.
3.dont use borrowed money to gamble:  most casinos will always spell out this one boldly on their website, so we ought to be careful

You are absolutely right and it is called all this irresponsible behavior and it is peculiar to every person from birth. Only at some point each of us understands that irresponsible behavior leads to destructive consequences. And we need to change something so as not to complicate our lives. If this understanding does not come to a person, then no matter how hard you try to explain to him that you cannot gamble with money that is intended to pay off a loan or pay utility bills, it is a waste of time.

This is the worse nightmare that can happen to anyone.Normal people never gamble with borrowed money as you cannot predict the future and if you hit a lost session you lose twice,once against the casino and once against the person/entity that borrowed you the money as now you owe them money without really "using" the money at all.Only badly addicted persons can ask to lend money to them so they can try their luck in the casino and this is also one of the main reasons that have destroyed,families,lives,jobs and even people who have killed themselves as the worse nightmare,most of them they have done so because being so deep in debt at a certain point and they knew they could not pay it back.

Those are like the after-effect after we gamble and we can't accept the fact that we've lost.

For me, this is actually the worst effect when someone gambles. Because of the feeling of wanting to recover and chase the losses, if there's no fund left that won't be enough to just stop.

As much as possible, a gambler who's in that situation will just want to have himself go after with all of those funds that are in losses.

It's actually a symptom of being addicted in gambling and next level of dealing with more serious approach towards gambling.
