It's good to have a source of income at first before you start gambling but I want to talk about this even more, do you know that even with your source of income you might be at one spot and not move forward?

No progression means you are no different from someone who have no source of income, I know someone who work so hard, I mean the hard jobs, that I can't even do, but at the end of the month when he gets paid he always waste everything on gambling, as if something told him that gambling is the way in this world for him.

He can't stop this, he can't help it, he is addicted to this way, I knew this after he start going around asking for things that he should be able to afford as a worker, he confessed that he lost money at first but the same thing kept happening for months and I find out that he is risking all his salary on gambling.

Is there anyway to help this person? I have given some advice to start using small percentage of the whole salary and safe the rest but still couldn't, and I don't want to help him to hold his money for him, he is over 28 years old, not a underage.

He have gotten used to this way because he started gambling all by himself and he won some money but end up even fuelling his addiction. What is next? Any tip?

The person is working hard and spend the money he earned on gambling and he is not moving forward but stagnant like someone that has no job. That is enough to be a good lesson for him. If you still see that he continues to gamble, let him know that the ending will not still favour him. He will be regretting and thinking that he can still make money from gambling thinking that his strategies might work, tell him not to be deceiving him than not to gamble again until he has control over it. Gambling budget should not be more than 1 to 5% if his weekly income. If he is not gambling for fun, he should not be gambling is the best.

One piece of advice I can give him is; let him create a fixed savings bank account in the bank that will be locked for any period of time that he writes on the contract. After he has done so, let him link his salary account to that fixed savings account and ask the bank to automate the amount that will leave his salary account and enter the savings account every month when he receives his salary.

If he has carried the action mentioned above, let him think of a good goal that he wants to archive with the money he is saving on fixed, so that when the savings duration is complete, he will just take out the money and use it for important stuff.

This might actually work for him because it has worked for some people that I know who are very good at reckless spending. The people who used the above strategy were not even gamblers, but they spent money as if they had a well full of money, while they were just salary earners who lacked proper economic knowledge about budgeting and spending.

You want to help him? That's my two cents of advice, and I hope it helps. Feedback from you will be appreciated months later.

Let him be. Unless he comes to his senses and sees a need for help, a need for a change, no matter the effort you put in talking to him he won't change. Even if you bring Eric Thomas to motivate him to quit, he won't quit until he sees a need for it.

Best you could do is to be a friend to him. And pray for him if you believe in the power of prayer for him to change.

And whenever you notice a slight spark of change seize the opportunity and direct him to the necessary professionals for help.

It is obvious that he is in an acute phase of gambling addiction. But if we talk cynically, then as I understand it, this causes more trouble (moral) for the OP than for someone who spends all the money they earn on gambling? Maybe he's content to work hard so he can go spend all his money in a casino. If he doesn’t get into debt and continues to live like an ordinary person, then maybe there’s nothing wrong with that? If the addiction does not progress, then maybe one day he will get tired of it and find another hobby.

It seems that the person is not married and has children or even a family, so he feels that the money he has is only for himself, looking for luck in gambling, hoping to get instant wealth to change his life, or indeed he already feels that he has lost a lot of money in gambling, so he need the money back and try to recover the losses they have experienced while gambling, it is quite difficult to give suggestions and advice to people who are addicted to gambling and are obsessed with wanting to recover their losses in gambling.

His habit is what keeps him from progressing, but because of the money he still gets from his job, he will continue to pay for his gambling and let alone all of us here, he doesn't even listen to your advice, the only way is to let him live with his gambling when he has experienced it. the time when he will start to think that the gambling he is doing is wrong of course he will realize it himself, but never leave him if he is your friend, make sure he is really well supervised, if he starts to feel bored and really wants to get out of the habit worse, give him advice to slowly reduce his habit and limit his budget on gambling.  ;)

Some how expect for no progress to happen for people relying on single income source then they enter in gambling activity and for sure with that they are close to get broke especially if they had bad gambling decisions made.

And since you have said that he is addicted already I guess there's nothing to do for people who's not in his inner circle since for sure he will feel bad with those supposed to be advise since for sure he get angry if there's people will disturb for what activities they have done.

If you are really concern much better to connect with his immediate family member which he trust the most since for sure he would listen to those guys and try to see how they could help to take the affected person on his current shaky situation.

Seeing the way he spends his monthly salary, it seems like he has become obliged to gamble which is definitely difficult to prevent, especially if no one is managing his finances. So you could say your friend has lost control, his life hasn't changed much even though he has worked for years but without financial management he will have nothing in old age. It's rare for me to find people like this because usually people who have a source of income know how to allocate some of their funds to just gamble. In my opinion, all your suggestions will be in vain if the person has no awareness of how to control his money. I'm sure he was addicted to gambling because he didn't think about a backup plan if one day he didn't have a source of income.

No shocking to see stories of people earning enough money yet it's actually not enough because of their vices like gambling. If you're going to see how much salary they really have, you would think that it's enough for that person to even feed his family. However, there are gamblers who spends a lot of money in gambling that they won't have enough money for their daily expenses. They don't have self awareness of how much it's affecting their lives. I know. I know someone similar to that situation. He actually have more salary compared to other average employees yet he don't have enough money to take home because of his gambling addictions. When he has money, he spend it on gambling thinking it's fine since he have money. But he won't realize that he's slowly spending most of his money on gambling. That's addiction. He's also old enough yet his mindset never changed.

If the person wants help, it's easier for him to influence and convince to change for the better. Find other things that he can do that he can enjoy so he wouldn't have the urge to gamble every time. Divert his attention from gambling.

If he wants to change his addiction to gambling, he can start reducing the amount of money he gambles gradually, to the point where he only gambles a maximum of a few percent of his salary. Because if he continues to gamble his entire salary, it is certain that he will not be able to save or buy various things, especially if he is still 28 years old, he should immediately realize that at such a young age he must be able to prioritize his needs and gambling. Don't let him end up regretting what he has done because regret always comes too late and if he doesn't want to change then no one can help him other than himself.

Definitely you need to do some research if you are gambling on skilled based games especially sports betting. However, if you go on slots, research is not necessary as it's a pure based game, you win when you are lucky and you lose when you are not.

What you need to research first is of how to be discipline in gambling, regardless of the game you need that to stay safe from losing more than you can't afford to lose. now, let's focus on sports betting, yes, research on the teams and its stats so you can analyze which side you'll bet on, but that's not all, there's more to that you need to learn as you go along, experience and the right analysis is the key to succeed.

It's very hard to help people who have gone that far in gambling. It's still good if he doesn't take a loan to gamble and doesn't exceed his salary but I am afraid it will lead to taking small loans from friends and then it goes further.
To be fair, it's very hard to talk to them about this because I have a relative who was spending all of his salary in gambling and when I spoke with him, he told me that one day he would win a huge jackpot in slots and all of his spending would be compensated and he would be in a big profit. After a year, everything happened as he wished, he won a huge jackpot, bought a new car and retired. I believe he was very lucky but he had a serious conflict with his family when he won the jackpot. The moment the family congratulated him, he became very explosive and aggressive and was shouting at them that they didn't believe in him and were harassing him for his active gambling. He went to another house and abandoned family members. This is an example for me and now I think we shouldn't interfere in someone else's everyday life, even if it's an addiction because if they accidentally win the jackpot, they might shout at you for not believing in them.

Let the person himself realize that what he is doing is not right. Maybe we should not insist on the reminder that we can do to them; it is still different because they themselves will actually discover this mistake.

Because when that happens, the development and improvement that they will learn will be better; for sure, they know that. Isn't it said that with every mistake we make, it becomes the way for us to hone things even more? So, just let it be.

Having a job that provides income but always being in the situation of someone who is unemployed who has no income because of gambling activities, this is why something that is done in excess is always not good, as you said that they do not look like ordinary workers when we look at them financially. Addiction becomes one of the worst situations that exist in gambling if you simply cannot control your gambling activities well in the sense of not overdoing it, but the fact is that it is difficult to overcome this kind of addiction if you basically come because you are affected by the chance of winning something.

This also confirms that addiction does not see how old you are, the point is if you come and get involved in the wrong way and understanding then obviously one day you will be in a situation like the OP told about that person, they absolutely cannot miss a moment not to gamble and even to the point of being willing to spend all their salary on activities that basically do not have any certainty, one of the reasons in my opinion is because of the hope they put on winning, previous defeats they consider as a sacrifice for a much bigger victory. So the bottom line is that it is quite difficult to overcome the problem of addiction, and it must always start with the awareness and desire of the gambler himself.

Self control is not just what we achieve by age, it takes experience and strong will and maybe he has not come to that yet. There is a reason that some men keep some money that they don't want to spend with their wives and the reason is if they hold it or go out with it, they will spend it.

So why don't you help him hold part of his money for him if you want to help him? If you help him hold a larger percentage of his money, it will help him restrict the numbers of times he will gamble because if he comes to ask for it at the wrong time that you both didn't agree on, you won't release it and by that is already a mechanism of gambling with little percentage of money from your income.

To help him hold the for him is a good help . In fact, an addict gambler won't allow you to hold his money, so if this person accept that you should help him hold it then go ahead and do that because you would be helping someone out of his addiction.

Many people had been having this same challenges for long and till now they are still battling it. It is not easy for us to that are chronic gamblers to easily reduce the way they gamble. Anyhow we can help people around us on how to stay safe without gambling too much, we need to do it for the sake of helping them. Holding the funds for the person would have been a good idea than staying neutral.

Normally we need to learn how to stay healthy as gamblers so that we don't end up betting too much and becoming an addict. Understanding ourselves would help a lot and safe us from the future drama or complains we could face. We all want to make money as gambles and that should not make us to go to desperate in a way that could cost us losing unnecessarily funds.

Since he's still at the acute stage of gambling addiction now it's best for him to quit or take a long break because at this point any attempt to help slow down or probably gamble different will only trigger him to even gamble more because so far it's obvious his psychology is messy already so he will be chasing loss at every slightest opportunity so it's best he quits for awhile and when he is stable he can try again but for now he shouldn't gamble again as he is already on the path to ruin. If he eventually gets back to gambling after now he should be guided to staying disciplined and responsible and he can achieve that by gambling based on a budget like you did suggested that he uses a fraction of his pay cheque.

Most persons who struggle with this kind of issues it's usually best they quit for a while without trying to attempt recovering that which they have already lost because trying to recover that which was lost is the obvious reasons he risk his full py cheque without a second taught.

This is more painful than gambling without any source of income because you work hard for the money but the outcome is still the same which ended up losing it all and tired at the same time.

I experienced this before but luckily I only wasted my signature campaign salary. I’m not a regular poster so my post here in forum is precious for me because I allocate my free time to give some effort to provide contribution here while I always ended up losing all my salary very quickly in weekly basis by gambling it for a chance to increase it a little bit before I withdraw. Now I learned a lot after doing some computation to my total loss. I think the next tip in able to overcome such need to gambling is to value more the money you earned so that you will not easily wasted it on gambling.

You do not use age to judge people, some underage can behave and handle things better than adults. Treat him like an underrage person and if you are a good friend that can help him to keep his money at first, especially if you know you trust yourself and will not spend the money, why not. But it is better advised that the person use the services of banks and investment companies. There are many programs going on now in banks where you can set your savings amount and target goal, he can use that option too. He can plan with his income and hold the money for at least a year. Only that this option would not be entirely good due to inflation that is biting globally. Well, the person may still go for the USD option as well if his bank can afford him that. Another option is investment, let him continue to save to buy land and other small properties he can afford, and I know that he will thank you later.

About gambling, it is good to know what you are entering into before you do it, gambling has both good and eveil part, and if one didn't learn from the beginning, the good part and enbrace it and know the evil part and guard against it, it will become an issue that will overwhelm the person just like your guy. As it is now, it might be appropriate for him to seek a professional help too, once advice is no more working on him, that might be the next point of action in such situation.

If a person wants to succeed in gambling, then, first of all, he must learn to restrain his emotions and try to manage his money rationally. It is also necessary to choose the type of gambling, in which at least something depends on the actions of the player, and not just on his luck

Try asking him to seek professional help for him to be assessed properly and to be determined if he is just a problematic gambler or addicted already. Well, regardless of having a source of income, a gambler won't have an assured future in gambling. Luck and fortune determines whether you will be succeeding or not. On my end, I'd be fine not having progress with profit as long as my bank account is not receeding because of it. It would only mean that I do sometimes win, and sometimes lose, which is a normal thing to experience in gambling. Is it a good thing? Not for everyone but on my end yes because I enjoy the activity in general. My goal is to avoid losing that much, and fortunately I am still in profit although not ideal to many especially those who are expecting too much from gambling.It is defining what success is for a gambler. If it is huge profit then nothing will contribute into it except for luck to both skill based and luck based gambling games. Yes controlling emotion would help to lessen the tendencies for a huge loss but will not increase or guarantee winning bets. Sometimes, no matter how good your analysis is with sportsbetting, you won't be able to bag the win if you are unlucky for that day. So question, is there a success in gambling? Yes, but subjective. As I mentioned above it could be enjoying the experience and not losing that much or to be in small profit at least.

OP, since your friend is mature enough and has enough sense and mind to know his own good and bad but the way he is gambling with his salary money will make him bankrupt in no time with more losses. Getting your friend off gambling definitely requires counseling and rehabilitation. He needs to be mentally and psychologically prepared to abstain from gambling by taking him to a good therapist and keeping him in a completely gambling free environment. He must be freed from gambling addiction by doing family counseling with him and keeping him in a recreational environment. That's why a trusted friend like you should always be by his side.

There is only one way for him if he truly wants to recover and that is asking for help,professional help but as a foundational base to success after such treatment,he needs to want this himself badly.There is no other possibilities as all other options beside professional help in such cases can only lead to worse consequences as the days pass by.Even if he had done some research emotions cannot be controlled so still he would need this professional help to recover.

Indeed, doing things excessively is not good, because something done excessively will usually result in a bad outcome, especially if gambling excessively is not recommended, it is better to gamble in moderation, and it is indeed an addiction. It is also a common and serious problem, and this is certainly not a good day, with so many addicted gamblers it is a big problem.

That's right, addiction doesn't look at age, anyone can become addicted if they gamble excessively. Most of them are addicted to gambling because they have high hopes and I think they are also aware that the risks involved in gambling are very big, but these risks can still be covered by their sense of confidence about the victory they can get.  and it is indeed difficult to overcome addiction, and I think many people fail when they want to stop their addiction.

Gambling addiction is fuelled by a desire to have that reward effect in our mind, unfortunately, no amount of advice that you can give will make him realize that he is doing it wrong, you can always employ the I told you so method every time he losses but he will keep on gambling because he can fund his bankroll and as long as he has a bankroll he will gamble.

the best way is to always be someone he can turn to and when he needs help that will be the time to ask him to see a professional, a professional that can guide him and knows what steps should be taken to get him to the path of recovery to gambling addiction.

Firstly it is unwise to not have a source of income and yet gamble. Most people who gamble without an income source overtime, make gambling their source of income which is practically an unhealthy practice. This is because people of this nature will try to do whatever it takes to gamble just so they can meet their monetary needs , making most of them turn out to become Gambling Addicts.

Even as a person with source of income, you are still advised to gamble responsibly this is to avoid such a person from losing his job or even worse, going bankrupt which will not only affect the gambler in question but also his family members either directly or indirectly.

It's admirable that you've tried to help your friend by suggesting strategies like budgeting and saving, but addiction can be a powerful force that can override even the best intentions. Sadly, there's no quick fix for gambling addiction, and it requires a combination of self-awareness, professional help, and support from loved ones. I have only tip: Encourage professional help: Encourage your friend to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor specializing in gambling addiction. They can provide guidance, support, and coping mechanisms to manage their addiction and break free from its destructive cycle

Having a gambling budget and limiting oneself to it will be a good option. A gambling plan will always guide him against overgambling because he would not gamble more than he has budgeted. Now the solution is not only about having a gambling budget but to follow it diligently. Many people have these budgets but cannot control themselves, especially when pursuing losses. Another piece of advice might be to avoid things that trigger his gambling addiction. He might decide to avoid gambling adverts and also stay away from friends who are gambling addicts. If his gambling addiction is at an extreme rate, they might consider seeking therapy from a gambling therapist.    

I agree with what you say. If someone is not earning well from their job or doesn't have a job at all, it might make the person to easily become addicted in gambling but if an individual have a well paying job that requires their time so much, they may not have much time to gamble and I feel people who are working are less pron to addiction than those that are jobless.

The worst mistake anybody can do is to become an addicted gambler when they are earning a huge amount of salary and always throwing all that salary into gambling. Such act will make the person never move forward in their financial status, just like you said. Such act will also strain their budget to the extent that they will even borrow from co-worker or other persons.

The suggestion that I would have drop to help such person have already been mentioned by other members.

In my opinion, the first thing you need to do to help this person you described in this thread is to first ask him if he can spend some time without playing. If he says yes, he can go some time without playing, then ask him if he's okay with going 2 months without playing anything, then keep an eye on him, I believe he'll tell you that he can go 2 months without playing and that he's not addicted. in games of chance. This is something all addicts talk about at first. After 2 months, ask him in a way that he doesn't notice, ask questions about the evolution of gambling and news about gambling. This will be used to test him if in these 2 months he really hasn't played anything

If you find out that he has been gambling during these two months, then be honest with him and tell him that he is ill, tell him that he has become addicted to gambling and that he needs urgent treatment and that until he seeks medical help and does not If you cure your addiction, you will no longer talk about gambling with him. This is hard but necessary. Now about researching games and casinos before playing, this is the basics that everyone should do. But the problem is that most people don't take the time to do research on gambling and casinos. They don't even know that gambling is not a place for making profits, and just for fun purposes.

Yeah I think this is one of the biggest mistakes gamblers make, is not doing their homework ahead of time.  I even find myself a bit guilty of it at times.  Like recently on a gambling site I was playing Poker / Texas Hold'em and I was betting in accordance to how I am use to playing, but the rules were different and I ended up losing a good bit by simply not reading them. So shame on me.

Try to convince that guy to change his gambling habit if it is impossible for him to resist gambling and it is not impossible to drag him out from it. If he spends hard earned money, convince him to find other job, less difficult. Maybe he wont get so killed at work (what if he gambles because he is to tired at work. He dont want or have no strength to think and realize consequences) and have time for something different. Or suggest him to get additional job. He could either spend only money from extra job. Or wont spend at all, as he wont have time  ;D

This is very possible, not everyone gambling is having the same orientation as we do and have that kind of understanding on what gambling is all about, we are not gambling in the guess to make it as an investment, we shouldn't deceive ourselves, and we we think we already have our money then wish to use it on gambling, we may lost everything to gambling and get broke or have nothing to add upon our business source of income than gambling taking away finances from us, with this, our business cannot move forward because we are not planning well enough without any not been affected.

if we don't earn, how can we do gambling. which means, we can conclude that most people who gamble have an income. whether it's from working as a laborer, working as a coolie, or doing odd jobs, especially someone who has a permanent job. Well, an interesting point for our study is related to being in one place, in other words not moving or moving forward. so it's like this, is this because of gambling? or, we as the perpetrators don't have the mindset to move forward!  It doesn't matter if you gamble or not, this cycle almost happens to us humans. the point is, if there is action there will of course be a reaction


I understand what you mean, so let's separate my first post from what I said for the second point. if the person you're talking about in this thread is your friend, it's your job to tell him. direct it, try to approach it persuasively. however, don't get your hopes up that what you do in this way can be a trigger for him to reduce his gambling activities. that doesn't mean your friends will ignore it, in fact it's not uncommon for them to be very aware and aware of it. It's just that the problem lies with your friend. In fact, there are many ways and methods that can be used, one of which is telling his family to get involved to give him advice or advice. however, these measures are also sometimes ineffective if a person has experienced an acute gambling disorder. another way is to take this person to a specialist or rehabilitation center. thus, maybe he will get help from people who are competent in this field. but the most important thing is, strong desire and intention. If that doesn't exist, then all the efforts made by the people closest to you, including you, will not have a big impact, let alone lead to something positive.

If you have told him about those advises about gambling moderation and he/she didnt listen then its up to him.Yes, it would really be that understandable that showing up some concern is something that we do really
like to do specially if we've known that person or simply a friend or really that close to us because we dont really like for them to end up miserable but we know that if advises turns out to be that neglected or declined or havent been listened then this is where we can really say that its never been that our mistake on letting them known or giving out some caution. People never ever learn up those things until they would really be putting up themselves on such tough situation.

One thing that they do have in mind is that they do still have that source of income on which they could rely on. What if? one day they would really be
able to lost those income source and would really be ending up jobless? For sure they would really be having those kind of realizations but well
its already too late for that which the damage has been done already.

The help that this guy needs is some professional help to make him realize that he's doing the wrong thing with his life currently. If he's spending all of his salary to gamble and if it's allowing him to enjoy and win some but losses the majority of his money, there's a need for him to reflect that he's doing the wrong approach. He have to set some limits to himself and even you'll give him the tips and heart to heart talks, I don't think that will ever resolve a thing.

He'd only listen to the professionals that will explain to him that what he's doing is going to put his life miserable, without savings, investments and even when he's going to have those, they're bound to lose it because he's totally addicted and outrageous in gambling. He has to help himself as well because no one's going to save him from that state and if his family sees his situation, he might get some help but they're not there forever to endure that repetitive actions that he's doing.

Making money and nothing to show for it is the highest form of stagnancy, and the main fact that this guy brings such upon himself because of his addiction is very heartbreaking. That means he hustles very hard only to account every single penny to the casinos at the end of the month. That's bullshit.

Since you want to help him, and you don't want to hold his money for him. I'll advise you to secretly go and report him at his workplace,  pleading with them to help him save money and release it to him only when necessary, at least until he's back to his senses and  shun  gambling addiction. His employers can summon him and the percentage to be given to him monthly can be discussed in his interest, or they can threaten him with his job if they ever learn that he  gamble again.

When someone enters the world of gambling, most of them enter full of hope. who does not have a fixed income and only has limited money, he hopes that by gambling he can change his financial condition through the big wins he might get. And for established people who have a steady source of income, they hope that by gambling they can multiply their finances and increase their source of income. But in reality, when they gamble uncontrollably, they have poor financial control and are too ambitious to win. So what they previously hoped for will be far from reality, where those who have a fixed income run out of money to gamble and for those who don't have a fixed income at all, the gambling they do actually makes them suffer even more. And even if you get a big win, without good self-control, the money will be used again to gamble with bigger bets than before.

Planning is crucial for everything including gambling. It is totally bad to jump into gambling without planning which entails researching on what to gamble on, determining how much will be committed to the gambling section, setting target wins and setting up exit criteria. Using this approach will produce  far greater results that casual approach to gambling. It will also help in curbing gambling addiction because the planning already specified when to stop both in the case of excess losses or big wins. Those who fail to have plan like this are probably battling with gambling addiction or are on their way to it.

You can't help someone who doesn't want help. I mean you can try it, but you will probably annoy that person and yourself. The real question is how close are you with that person, if you are close and you think he will pay attention to your words then you can try to talk with him about his life goals and what he expects from life if he continues with the same path. If you two are close maybe he we listen, but if you are not close with him then talking is in vain, and you will probably make a problem and he will start hating you. Some people don't like to hear the truth, and they don't like people who tell the truth.

I am not sure how important this person is in your life, but if it's not much, I would tell you not to interfere in his life. Maybe it's his choice and you should respect that. If you don't respect it then he will just move even further away from you.

It is difficult to broaden the horizons of such a person because he has repeatedly used his salary to gamble and even used all of his salary. Perhaps he needs to admit that what he did was wrong, and he needs to have the desire to reduce his gambling activities and start setting limits that he must adhere to. Perhaps you can teach him to allocate a budget for gambling and always remind him to know how much money he uses for gambling. Perhaps it's still difficult for him, especially if he's been gambling for a long time, but it's still worth trying and doing because we don't know what the results will be if he doesn't try. His confession that he has been gambling excessively can make him accept that he is addicted to gambling and wants to cure his addiction.

Research and understand gambling well, because what we expect out of gambling and the reality experienced used to be completely different most of the time. When we're prepared enough, it won't be a big thing, but gamblers who had a big change in life through gambling couldn't have the mind to accept the reality. Some gamblers understand after they get into gambling, but for some reason they keep on gambling with the hope of winning big someday, whereas there are people who live to gamble, which means they never care about anything beyond gambling. With such a person, if they had saved what they've spent on gambling now, they could've been super rich.

sorry... I wanna ask this - how does he feed himself and probably ( his family if he has any?)..Cus assuming he's got responsibilities, he wouldn't be so extravagant on some meagre self-pleasure.. I can't imagine having a man that doesn't save up anything from his salary - neither does he have an extra source of income but keeps wagering all his funds...how are we supposed to pay the bills?

---

when I get to realize how impossible it is for some people to let go their gambling habits, my soul bleeds and I'm left in great awe.. I don't remember a time I planned on getting myself back to the trenches with some unnecessary, odd habits.

i'm confused about what advice to give you for this because the person who can stop him from continuing to gamble brutally is himself.

but if i were you, i would leave him with what he is doing now, i would not bother him because i know the more he is banned, the more difficult it is for him to stop, let him stop because of conditions or time because many gamblers stop gambling brutally because you don't have money or are sick.

It's a hard situation to solve, because it seems no matter what you tell this person, he is not going to give up gambling, because he is heavily addicted to it. And as far as I know, addiction can be only fought back when the individual suffering from this issue gives the first step, accepting the fact he has a problem which he can't overcome by himself, which is destroying his life, and therefore he need and want your help.

Without this initial stage, I fear there isn't much you can do for him, besides enforcing a compulsory rehabilitation. This is a drastic measure, and every other alternatives should be tried first before going this far, but once you conclude they don't work, I don't know anything else to be done for this individual.

Meanwhile you could grab his attention to another activities which don't involve betting. Maybe taking the person to holidays or vacation for weeks or a month can make a big difference on his life regards changing bad habits and building new positive ones. If this person is so important for you, I believe you wouldn't bother putting so much time and effort to accompany him during this process.

Yes, it is true that quite in-depth research and consideration is needed before actually deciding to enter the world of gambling. because apart from gambling having a fairly high level of risk, gambling also has a negative impact which is quite dangerous for mental health and can affect our financial situation. Before deciding to enter the world of gambling, we need to consider one of our own financial conditions, if in reality our income is still not sufficient for the needs of ourselves and our family, then it would be better if we lower our intentions, depending on our financial situation. we are completely normal and stable.

And if in the end you still enter the world of gambling, then always make sure that you can gamble wisely, responsibly and have full control over yourself when you enter into gambling, and gamble for entertainment reasons only, not anything else such as seeking profit. and always make sure that before you start gambling, your needs and responsibilities have been met, and you only gamble with the money left over after fulfilling these needs and responsibilities, you only gamble with an amount of money that you are prepared to lose.

He's probably too far gone right now, but there's still something you can do to save him. Mere words will no longer help the guy, but being consistent about your advices will. He probably knows that he's losing a lot of money and it's affecting his quality of life. Let him feel that he's missing out on a lot of things because he's spending money on gambling while at the same time, keeping empathic with him. Dude has hit rock bottom, and will eventually want to get out of it when he sees that everyone around him is doing well all while doing the same things as he does.

That is the best key for everyone looking to start a gambling or business. Having another source of income is a fantastic idea for anyone who truly wants to be successful, since even if you want to start a business and don't have enough money, that will lead to a market, and if you don't have enough on your side, the business will not progress.
Because of this, it's beneficial for people to have a consistent source of income, particularly when it comes to gambling and staking all of our available funds, which ultimately ends in a loss. How are you going to fare? However, once you have already staked, you won't think about them, But if you get another means that money will come, you won't think about those you've already risked.
I think that person is simply attempting to put an end to his gambling. That is why he does not listen to your advise. If not, how can a person be spend his entire salary on gambling without cutting any proportion and keeping. My opinion is that since the person is old enough and knows what is best for him to do, you should simply leave him alone; he will regret it when he discovers he is losing all of his money without making a profit.

I am confused by the guy in your story. Does he have financial troubles or does he just spend his disposable income on gambling? Because those two situations are completely different. If he pays all his bills, has money for food, rent and so on, then is it considered a problem to waste all his disposable income on some activity like gambling? As long as he is not making debts for himself or for his family, I would say that he is doing fine. Let him spend his income as he wishes.

When he gets tired of not being able to buy the things he wants/needs, then maybe he will re-think his life.

But I would not consider him a heavy addict.

He should go get an account a form of savings account whenever he received salary he should send out some percentage to his savings account while the rest goes to other account where he can start touching and using the remaining salary. People are like this, they don't know how to plan themselves to achieve a maximum goal even though what they are doing is not working they seems to be dying over there without them knowing, if a man can tell himself the truth then I don't see a responsible becoming addicted so easily and I think it was same thing to other post I came across here.

How do you even gamble without having the proper information about the club you want to stake on? Unlike then when you want to stake on a match That you have to further do your own research, betting platforms also help you in that aspect by providing some assist and information for you like the top 5 last matches between the two teams, the last matches of individuals statistics, some % analysis base on public opinion but you chat work base on that because even the betting platforms can formulate false information for you.

This can only be applied to information of sporty invents, you can't research on casino games an expect you to win but how experienced you have been playing it, the number of times you think using the multiplier will give you good outcome and when you think it's the right time to play because the house always have a way of winning you, you have to know when things generally favour the players.

That is the idea when we know to ourselves that we will gamble more often.
It is better to know the industry first than just jumping fast to conclusions.especially if this will become out daily routine. Ive had my share of losses that is why I can say this so I am jusy passing it to OP and other readers.
The losing side is not a happy time, its stressful and diffiicult to swallow. Learning how to accept defeat is also part of gambling so we mivht as well be ready for that.

Gambling finds its way into people's lives for so many reasons, but more often than not, it has been the major reason why loads of people have become wrecked before they even realize.

The small wins they have over the times suggests to them that there is something bigger which never comes but keeps draining their finances. It is good to be extensive with research before adventuring into gambling

Research must be done before starting gambling because how a gambler will replace himself in gambling and whether he can ever control himself from gambling, these are all matters of a gambler's research.
Gambling is such a strong addiction that once one gets into it one cannot easily stop oneself from that addiction. The effect of his addiction affects the society, family and even his friends. Therefore, a gambler's financial status should also be given importance because gambling is mainly associated with profit loss. In this case, if a gambler is not financially independent, he should not involve himself in gambling.

This young man is he married? If yes he's married then his wife could be a great source of help for him in keeping his money from totally wasted on gambling, and let me tell how. I know of a gambler who's a mechanic, yea that is his handwork (skill) and before then each time he get paid after fixing a customer's car the next he does is to locate the nearest betting shop and that is how he gets the whole money fine for that day.

But then he got married somehow, and now why his wife does is that she's in charge of receiving the payments for his work, and what she does is to deliver a little percentage let say around 5% to him for his gambling or whatever he wish to use the money for, and this has helped the man able to have money saved for family and achieving growth in his life financially. So if that young man is married maybe his wife can come in the gap and help him regulate his access to his money. Maybe that could help.

If you have already given him advice but he still doesn't seem to be taking action, suggest that he talks to someone close to him, such as a loved one, parent, or someone special to him. Alternatively, he may need to seek professional help and undergo therapy to work through his issues.

OP, I want to believe that gambling has gone beyond just conducting researches. In gambling, the outcomes are very unpredictable irrespective of your type of research work.

EG, senegal and Morocco are one of the top teams in AFCONs, gambling researcher will tip them to reach the tournament quarters, but they are knocked out by Ivory Coast (3rd best loser) and South Africa.

Gambling requires more luck to assist your researchig

This is one thing about people who gambles they always felt or thought that the money is always there or is regularly coming without knowing hit jackpot is one in a blue moon and needs to be properly taking care of any one they won otherwise they could still end up spending their entire money back to that same casino again, when they hit huge amount they should think of what to do with the money not to remain empty or lacking and wanting since it seems that any amount gotten from gambling doesn't always last and I don't know if someone else also noticed that as well.

Gambling indeed can have a profound impact on people's lives. The allure of small wins can create a false sense of hope that often traps people in a cycle where they continue to invest more with the anticipation of a significant payoff. People need to know what cycle they are going to enter before engaging in gambling. Understanding the risks, odds, and potential outcomes can help people make more informed decisions and, in some cases, reconsider whether gambling is a suitable activity for them.

The potential pitfalls of gambling are big consequence and gamblers need to have responsible behavior in this activity. People need to approach gambling with caution, considering it as a form of entertainment rather than a reliable means of financial gain. It needs to have self-questioned whether gambling can be a joy to do or not, because there are risks to handle if things go wrong.

Indees a self-evaluation does the magic for people who want to consider gambling as a thing for themselves. Whether it be to make money or to have fun, it has to be seen as a thing to indulge in or not else it will come with dire consequences.

That you have people around you , maybe family and friends gambling doesn't guarantee you success in it

Gambling addiction is real and destructive, if you have exhausted all the means of trying to talk to this person, then i think you have to seek professional help from a psychologist. This professional will take this person through therapy and that could work, it is not a guarantee, but i have heard stories of many people who overcame certain addictions in this way.

Gambling responsibly is the perfect way to do things, if you notice that you are spending so much of your money and time into gambling, then you have to stop immediately and seek help, because you are an irresponsible gambler, and it will affect your social life and relationship.

i think, gamblers know already their chances in gambling. they are only in denial that the chance here is good. because we all know that gambling is gambling and we know that if you are playing in regular casino games, luck is always part of the equation. your chance of winning is quite increasing if you happen to dedicate your skills in sports betting or poker game.


unfortunately, most gamblers are just following their heart's desires and so the possibility of addiction is always there. also, even regular gamblers will find out that at one point the games are so addicting you can't stop yourself. so what more of those addicts, right? no research can stop the temptation. limiting and strictly sticking to your budget can.

That person needs to start by excluding himself from the casinos he's using and initiate instead of falling through that cycle.

I also agree with the others about him getting some professional help because that's probably his best shot at solving his addiction if he can't do it on his own.

Maybe it's worth bringing up the issue with his family members if that's what it takes for him to listen and start fixing his addiction.

It would be difficult for him to quit gambling if he didn't understand its impact on his life. At 28 years old, he is in the prime of his youth and is likely focused on enjoying life to the fullest. This may be why he is only interested in gambling and not considering the consequences of his actions.

Stopping his addiction requires a family member to help him understand what he needs to do.

Someone who gambles must have income to gamble, but not everyone who has income can make good use of their salary, some use it all for gambling because they believe their money is increasing and to chase their losses without realizing that they are addicted, as the OP said and There are also those who set aside a little money just to have fun gambling and not exceed the limit and this is true because when we have income we must be able to limit our expenses so that we can buy other necessities and not spend it just on gambling.

If the person has been doing the same thing for months, it means that he is already addicted and a person who has done a habit like that will find it difficult for him to stop and he will do it again when he gets his salary again, the only advice I give to that person is that he must entrust the money to a trusted person who can manage the finances so that the person does not use all the money for gambling. It can be entrusted to his mother so that her mother who manages his finances.

I don't think anyone can help him except himself. You also said that he is over 28 years old, an age where he is really starting to mature, he is aware of what his gambling is like. However, in terms of gambling addiction, I think this case is not alarming. He's just standing still because all the salary he's earned has been spent on gambling, but he's still lucky that he hasn't gotten into debt or affected anyone else. There are many people who have other hobbies such as shopping addiction, they also spend all the money they earn on shopping, even abusing credit cards.
Therefore, what he needs most now is to slowly change his habits. For example, instead of his usual gambling of 100 USD, you can suggest him to slowly reduce the amount he gambles silver down to 80-90 USD. Once you get used to this number, continue to reduce it to 60-70 USD.

Gambling activities make the economy not improve. he doesn't have financial freedom yet but he tries to spend money by gambling. I know maybe he's looking for his luck by gambling, but maybe he won't get it if he continues to ignore his finances.
it would be worse if he already had a family, and the income from his hard work would not be enough for his needs and gambling. somehow advise people like that, maybe they will realize when they have problems in their family and economy that they really can't gamble anymore.

That's true because, by gambling, someone will be triggered to use more and more money and can forget to control themselves when gambling. They will spend all their money to win, even though spending their money doesn't guarantee they can win. He can gamble but must remember that his family's needs are met so that everything doesn't get disturbed. He also needs to allocate a certain amount of funds for gambling and for his expenses so that he will not be disturbed by his gambling. It is indeed difficult to advise people like that because they already consider gambling to be an important thing in their lives and because they still have the desire to win from gambling, which makes them keep gambling. That's why before we gamble, we have to research how to use gambling well so that we don't fall deeper into gambling.

Even if a person has a successful source of income and he still stagnant on what he is doing, just like a cycle over the years, there's a possibility that this person will not become successful in his life and tends to become broke in the future. All the money that he got will surely spent in a not so important things. I didn't meant to say that gambling is not that important, but if you can't handle yourself, you will become addicted. Just a piece of advice, Always know your priorities and know how to handle yourself, your spending habits and your self control.

No, from the looks of this, that person will never succeed in life or even survive in life if he keeps on doing what he is doing. Imagine you are working your ass so hard and you still think of wasting it on gambling. Does that person don't know the value of money despite how hard he works to earn it? If he still prioritises gambling before anything and keeps on doing that, then there will be no future for him.

If a person wastes their hard-earned money just to satisfy their addiction to gambling, then they deserve to experience the consequences of doing gambling. I'm not saying that people who have a minimum wage should not gamble, but limit or know when to gamble, because if you need that money and you lose it in a gamble, then you just add another problem and you make yourself deep in suffering.

Maybe you should meet his boss at work? Assuming he is getting $500 as salary every month, the boss should help transfer $450 into his fixed account every month, and he is free to accept $50 as cash for other things he might need? This won't stop his addiction in gambling though but it's a good strategy to stop him from working in vain every month because of gambling.

This is step one, the step two should be relatives, you are not a family to him, find his family member and expose to them that he is addicted to gambling, they will be more closer to him and mentor him than you can, I also don't like softness when trying to change a addict gambler, you need to be extremely strict with them, make them feel like gambling is not safe and getting addicted is even worse.

---

I have someone who make around $80 every month but because this money is too small he decide to use all amount on trading, he was into copy trading and things are going fine but later losses after losses starts occurring, it get to the point where his account turned empty, and luckily for him he listened to my advice, I told him to live under his means and save up, its a gradual process, instead of doing copy trading he should learn trading himself, now he is making more than $80 in trading once every month.

The problem starts with what we want in life, but we don't want to slowly rise up to the top, people are always in rush to make life changing money, and the wrongful thing here is that they are trying to get this through gambling, which is full of uncertainty.

If OP would do that, he would quickly lose that friend. Imagine someone is trying to control or manipulate your salary behind your back. Add a fact that you are gambling addicted, and in the end we get explosion of emotions, curses and etc. Also it is unethical to decide what a person should to with his earned money and try to impact on it. The guy worked to get that money, let him make his own decision how to use them. Just in our cases his expenses on gambling must be limited.

I have written in the past, to beat gambling addiction, it must be replace with other addiction. It might sound hard, but that is the truth. Person must get busy with something else. His thoughts must be switched on something else. That is why I have suggested either get another job to be completely busy (or less financially dependent) or get another hobby.

Provably that person will go on miserable situation since imagine how far he can go for doing that and for sure once he lose a lot of money there's a chance that he will get broke then get a lot of loans since usually that will be the faith of addicted gamblers especially if they don't have other way to find immediate money and they would go on that last resort just to get money to satisfy their unnecessary gambling needs.

If situation go to worse and they use all they have I think they need to face the consequences of what they have done so that they could realize that money is hard to earn and using that on pointless also abusive means doesn't give them a good life in long run. We can see a lot of negative opinions here that's why its important for new gamblers to research so that they will not face the worst situation in life just because of their gambling activities.

This is a rare case of someone becoming addicted immediately after winning a small amount of money. And immediately, these people begin to feel like the lucky ones, and they can't be stopped, because they want to experience this feeling again. This forces them to play over and over again, giving their entire salary, and it is possible that such a player begins to take debts from friends and acquaintances. Of course, this is a difficult situation, and you can't bring your life to the point where the game becomes so important.

Of course, in anything and everything you do for example in real life if it is done excessively it will be synonymous with results that are usually not good or even disappointing, especially if this is applied to gambling activities which in fact have absolutely no certainty and guarantee of anything at the end of the session, You will end up with two possibilities of winning or losing, it is really unknowable and this is the reason why it is really not recommended to overdo it in gambling, the worry is when you cannot accept the fact of losing and of course it can make you emotional and in the end gamble impulsively and end up with addiction. Another thing as I said above that addiction is the worst situation that exists in gambling, you can get into this situation unconsciously through emotional scenarios that take control of yourself in certain situations especially when you are on a losing streak due to overaction.

You have confirmed my statement above, so to be honest I really don't understand what some people say about not disputing or even advising the elderly to spend their retirement by engaging in gambling activities, as I said above that gambling is absolutely regardless of age, We are sentient beings in the sense that we are easily influenced by things, especially things that we cannot accept and that means that no matter if you are an elderly person if you are not a responsible enough gambler by nature then it is clear that eventually you will be able to enter the addiction phase unconsciously because gambling involves expectations which also means that when you put your hopes on winning then it is usually difficult to ignore the situation of losing which in turn makes a person more emotional and gamble with the aim of returning something that has been lost. It is a fact that addiction is a difficult problem to overcome, it is a disease that lies in one's mind and this is the reason why I previously said that addiction can only be overcome with the awareness and desire of the gambler himself.

I believe that when we want to do anything, even if it is not gambling, many things are supposed to be put into consideration to have the knowledge about that thing and to ascertain if it is fitting for us or if we will just be wasting our time trying or doing it. Gambling is a very good example, it is wrong the way many are approaching gambling and this is the reason why they think that gambling is that bad. Imagine someone through his uncle started gambling, this is just because he saw his uncle gambling, should that justify it? He may not even ask the uncle what he is gambling for, why is he gambling and what are the bad and good sides of gambling. But will just dabble into it and will begin to cry foul later, it doesn't work like that. If such had been smart enough to first inquire about it, this would still not have automatically stopped him but would only educate him on the good and bad sides of gambling, especially how to be careful when gambling.

It is now left for the person to decide whether to proceed or not as gambling is not so convenient for every personality. We have to be sure that we can cope before doing it. By this, the person must have successfully evaluated himself to know what to face and even how to face it better. And on doing it, if it is not what he can cope with, he will easily know as he is cautious about gambling and can quit or continue to try his luck instead of being addicted.

Yes, that's right, especially if he doesn't have a family to support so there are no thoughts to share for his family and personal life, it's all about mindset if he thinks gambling is for fun maybe he won't trigger a gambling addiction in himself but if he gambles just to make money, obviously it will be difficult to stop him, because it is possible that the money he has used while gambling has run out so he is obsessed with chasing his losses and recovering them in any way and gambling all the time.

Everyone must limit their budget when gambling because if without a budget, gambling will still be reckless and irresponsible, that's why gambling is important to have limits so that it becomes an alarm reminder to stop gambling, he must know that there are something fun out there besides gambling, for example other, more positive hobbies or just hanging out with family so that you can make gambling more just entertainment, not something that has to be done regularly, that really doesn't help, the tip for that person is to let it go until he finds his saturation point which will later make him he thought to himself that he had wasted a lot of his time and money on unnecessary gambling.

Having a source of income does not mean that you are safe from the risk of gambling addiction, there's still risk involved because the temptation to lose control of your betting is still there, although there is no pressure to win because you have an income to support your family, there's a possibility that the income will be redirected to betting or allocate more to gamble.

That's one of the worst that can happen, because of this your friend needs to get a loan to pay his bills and if this happens there will be discomfort at home because you cannot support the family's needs and money from your friend's source of income will go to paying loans.

I think you need to talk to his family he will listen to his family when the family's welfare is at stake the gambler will always listen, you need to urge him to ask for professional help, only a professional can laid out a plan or steps to help him overcome his addiction.

There is no particular age at which you can be considered capable of making correct decisions when it comes to gambling, Age is never a consideration. You did not mention if he already has a family. If he does, then it's a major concern for his family. However, if he is single and only earning for himself, the least you can do is to keep advising him and attempt to talk him out of it. Taking or leading him to a new interest so you can shift his focus away from gambling is a good idea.
You can get him involved in sports or help him meet a girl for a date the idea is to give him a new interest, so his focus is not only on gambling.
When I was very active in betting in fiestas and losing a lot of money my friend helped me overcome this by introducing me to the sport of chess It is a mind game but it will strengthen your control and you will learn how to think clearly.

There are so many person who just enter into gambling without proper research of what the game looks like,they don't know that gambling is like trading for those who know what trading is all about.It is a game of risk,and only those who have the mind and are ready to use their spare money to take the risk,are people who can win.The game is also a game of emotion,most persons put their mind on the games they've already played,but that's not it,every game played should be counted as a waste of money,because you don't know wther the game will play,or it wont.,therefore,setting a mind already that the money is lost will keep you at peace when the money eventually goes,and when you win,it will be an added boost to your financial power.

People do not know the damage of being an addict and the punishment that comes with it. we know that anything that addiction comes with is always disastrous talk more about addiction, whereby it has turned a lot of people into homeless and has wrecked a lot of people financially. addiction can lead them to the extent they have to see a therapist before they can do away with it. and other ways to is when you get busy there is no way you have gotten the time to gamble because.

And different recommendations are coming from a therapist.  having limits while gambling will set you free from a lot of risk. the moment you become addicted, only God can help you because there are complications that it come with we all know that people are interested in money but at the same time, your mental health should also be considered. before going too deep inside gambling. because it is not a place where you get too comfortable.

It's a little difficult to advise those who are addicted to gambling, generally they stick to their guns, but if you have advised your friend, in my opinion, your efforts have been maximal in lifting your friend from the misery that your friend is suffering from.

There are other tips you might be able to do, try talking to the boss where he works, withhold his salary for one month and give him an understanding once again of the risks posed by gambling, If that doesn't work, it looks like your friend should act a little more firmly with him, this is for his own good.

Hello coin-investor, was chess game responsible for removing the irresistible gambling urge in you, how long was it until you were able to think clearly, as stated in your response. Board games as chess have some control over the brain, it enables us to think beyond the actions of the opponent. Thereby helping the person to take for few minutes, control of his thoughts. First time reading this, but chess game looks like a nice substitute for any other game that could remove addiction in a gambler's life. What matters is the conversations with the gambling addict. He'd need to understand the interesting aspect of playing such games as chess, and how it could uplift his thinking and take him miles away from gambling compulsively. However, the reactions may differ from one player to another, but it's indeed a great idea to divest the focus of the addict of gambling to chess.

 
Do you mean,if he wants to change his gambling addiction?he can't change his addiction to gambling,what are you trying to say.but if it's about changing his addiction of gambling he will need to sit back and make the decisions himself.
Normally with all of this his chances of reducing his addiction in Gambling is very slim,as he can go extra mile in using even his own salary for gambling,so what will be left of him,he can as well sell off himself just to gamble any day that's the level of addiction we are talking about .

And how he can get out of this mess be it's really going to be a tough one as maybe he might just decide on his own to stop gambling, probably when he must have lost everything he has achieve for years and beyond.

The end of gambling is indeed two wins or losses, but in my opinion these two things are not factors that will definitely make them stop gambling, they may continue to gamble when they lose because it will make them curious, and even if they win only a few people can cash in on the winnings, most of them are addicted and produce them so they continue gambling. and with this it is tantamount to gambling excessively.

It's true, everyone will be easily influenced especially when it comes to profit or money, then everyone will certainly be easily influenced or tempted. because gambling involves profit even though it is not certain that it will be easily obtained but many people have been influenced by gambling so that they experience many losses. returning something that has been lost is just a silly thought especially if this happens in gambling, because it is clear that in gambling the chances of winning are very slim so there is no way they can return the money that has been lost for sure. If you're going to do gambling, you should be able to see all the bad effects if you can't control yourself properly. unless you really want to experience destruction in life then gambling excessively is one of the effective ways to do it, it's just that I don't think it's possible for anyone to want their life to be destroyed on purpose.

Hello, Accardo Yeah I'd like to thank my friend for introducing me to the board game chess but, besides the game of chess, it was a good opportunity for him to talk me out of being an irresponsible gambler, while we were playing chess I am more susceptible to suggestions and on the many times that we've played he had a good influence on how I become a better gambler and of course a better chess player.
The mind should have a substitute when you have the urge to gamble, and it is one of the outlets, there are other outlets like taking more work so you'll have no time to gamble date a girl, or engage in physical sports, or  anything that can stimulate the mind to replace the urge to gamble.

If gambling is approached this way, it can control the regrets and pains that come from losing. Most times, anger stems not because we lost but because we have planned on the winning yet to come and when it doesn`t come, it gets to us so badly that self-control becomes a problem. From personal experience, whenever I place a bet and don`t monitor the success of the game, I am not affected by the outcome but times when I have to monitor the games, I get pained when it doesn`t play because when I monitor the progress of the game, I unconsciously place high hopes on the game.

Oftentimes, my mood changes and I am forced to either rebook the game or place another bet immediately. This is not a good way of gambling. When I realised that gambling this way could lead me into addiction, I started working on my mindset to know that any money I have decided to use for betting is not coming back because it is not an investment. With this mindset, I have been able to control my stake and this has helped me a lot and prevented me from compulsive and revenge gambling.

Searching about the negative effects of gambling is an important thing for gamblers to do, because they can understand the impact of their gambling, and it also includes how they need to manage their gambling responsibly and not excessively which might affect their finances. Gamblers must understand their budget and limits, because knowing these things will also help gamblers to gamble more carefully and increase the enjoyment of their gambling. because people who gamble without a plan and knowledge will end up gambling irresponsibly and that might lead them to the stage of addiction, like this man.

If a person cannot gain money from gambling, I believe he should avoid it. Gambling is a risky game, therefore when we decide to participate, we should be aware of our limitations.
When a person loses money in gambling, it drives his addiction to cover his losses; the more losses, the greater the need to gamble; as a result, instead of losing a little amount of money, they lose more.
Gambling, like trading, requires discipline because if you can't control yourself, you'll make a stupid judgment, increasing your chances of losing even more money.

When someone understands the impact of gambling, they must be able to limit themselves from gambling too often and it is better if they set a limit on the money they use to gamble and if they lose they will not take their money again to gamble the next day. the same, if they can do that I don't think they will get addicted to gambling and they won't spend too much of the money they use in gambling.
Everyone who gambles of course wants to win from the gambling they do, but if they do it greedily then they will not be able to last long in the gambling they play and they will spend a lot of the money they have on gambling.

Sometimes I wonder how people who earn money at the end of the day devote most of their time and money in gambling though I know that the reasons why some gamblers ain't contented with their income is because they want to make it big and maybe since the OP said the friend does a very hard job before he earns money thereby he might also be looking forward to make it through gambling and leave the hard work he's doing because normally, no matter the amount you're earning from a very severe hard work, you can't always be comfortable with that job but however, focusing all his energy on gambling in other to win and possibly discard the hard job may lead him to more failure.

Moreover, since he puts in more energy in his job before he earns, he shouldn't have been that careless to waste all his hard earned money on gambling just simply because he wishes to win and the winning isn't even coming forth but he should be grateful that he even got a job if not people of this nature that's always die hard about gambling mostly results to borrowing money in other to meet their gambling target but since he have a job I think he would only gamble with his own money so since the OP have advised him but yet no avail, he rather leave him and see how the rest of his life would become if his continues in his gambling addiction considering the stress and nature of his job so i believe one day he would be the one to advice himself.

Even if you help him by holding his money but if he cant control himself, he will find other money for gambling, as simple as that.
What he needs now is a professional help such as psychologist or someone to have a deep talk that can change his mindset.
You have done what you can for him to avoid the worst case but if he is not listening to your suggestion, just let him go with what he wants.
Sooner or later, once he realizes that what he does is wrong, he will regret to ignore your advices.

This is wrong on the part of the gambler if they think that they can come and gamble without getting the basic know how of gambling. The more important thing is that they should gamble after knowing about gambling and how to gamble following the basic golden rules like money management.


Money is important to everyone and anyone who gambles should know how much he can risk and how much he can lose in gambling. Sometimes i think that gamblers are the ones who are mostly risk takers as they gamble without any thinking of the situation as to what will happen if they lose in gambling and eventually may get in an awkward situation where they may not have left money for their day to day expenses. Some may even take loans to get their expenses done. Therefore it is better to get some research about gambling so these mishaps to not happen after gambling.

Only a novice or an immature gambler will go ahead doing anything that involves gambling without making research first about it, even if we are experience in it, we need to make the first attempt on research in other to get the updates about the gambling we are making bets on a d how we could achieve the highest performance in it through the informations we have gathered.

Your friend played a good role of not just a great friend, but a therapist. The need of sharing the trouble with some close friends is quite a better method of escaping addiction. I mean, you wouldn't have succeeded alone, and such idea as playing chess wouldn't have been anything near to your horizon. The other methods of dealing with addiction other than what you've added above could include spending time with old friends, who stay far from our state or locality. I'm beginning to notice that humans tend to change alongside with their new location. When in a new place, I don't immediately participate in some activities like in my locality, due to the nature of the place and people around me. It'll take some time before feeling the urge or comfortably doing such things. Hence, it's safe to say that the few days or months the person doesn't engage in gambling, during his traveling period, could help him deal with addiction. At least it'll revive his thoughts on what he used to do while in his house, and let him make rules on the habit, and how he'll be gambling.

Did he offer you the option of helping him save his money? If he did that then his problem might be that he cannot save his funds. Maybe he doesn't have a bank account where he saves the money he earns. His challenge might be because he always has cash at hand, he is always moved to spend the money on gambling. Some people cannot control expenses if they have easy access to funds or have cash at hand.

I will suggest you confirm if that is what his problem is because so many people suffer from careless spending because of easy access. It will not be a good idea to help him keep his money because there could be some financial misunderstanding. I will suggest you advise him to open a bank account where he could save his money and there could also be a standing order that restricts him from excess withdrawal.    

That's the way such gamblers always think, most of them think that they can make x3 or x5 of what they earning from gambling and that's what drives them to put all their interest and time into finding that big win that will make them happy but at the long run of things it's practically just stupidness and they only know when the whole issue has turn negative red for them and by that I mean being stagnant with the feeling of progression.

The story is very touching because the victim, who is addicted to gambling, is working hard to earn some money, but due to his addiction, he ends up using all of it to gamble. This is a very critical stage of addiction, and it will be very hard for him to stop. If you really want to help him, then you have to act fast; if not, you will end up losing him because he is killing himself gradually, but no one knows.

There are some solutions that I can recommend that will be listed below.

1. First of all, you should start helping him by keeping or helping him save half of what he earns and using the rest for gambling. That shows that you are trying to help him. Create a budget for himself. You mentioned his age. Yes, he is an adult, and he has to know his own responsibilities, but he fails to do that due to issues like addiction. To me, you are the first option to help him.

2. You should give him a purpose for living, like an idea to create a business or build a house, or ask him what he would like to own so that he will start saving for that as well, and with the use of a budget, all those things will definitely be put in place.

3. Advise him to save money for his emergencies and health care.

All this that I have mentioned should be deducted from the amount that he is going to use for gambling, while you will still keep half of his payment for him. With that, you will find out that the money he will be using for gambling will be very small, and from there, he will start feeling discouraged and leave gambling forever, but you need to have patience with him because you might fight trying to follow all this process because it is very hard to apply.

If you have given your advise but still he wont listen then better move on and just let him be on what are the things that he's been doing. Yes, its really that pitiful on whats currently happening into him considering that he is your friend and you are aware that he's addicted to gambling on which you could already project on where it would be going but since he had neglect or ignore out such advise
then dont feel sorry if he would really be ending up miserable. Most of the time on which a certain individual would really be just that too confident on the time that they are seeing that they are
capable on earning money then they wont be minding that they would be busting all of it on the same day on which they are really that confident that they could really be able to earn it out
right away and just doing some work. On the time that they would lose their work? then what would happen? It would be just that common sense but they havent realized it that yet.

That's just their wishful thinking, producing x3, x5 or even x100 because they always imagine victory no matter how many losses they will experience.

But when they have a big win, they will always be proud and forget that it is time to go out.
But for gamblers who don't have any planing, they will continue to play with all those winnings.

Until finally the profit is lost and the initial capital also disappears.
Of course this makes them stressed, it is an act of stupidity that cannot be contained because they do not have a strategy.

You already did your best. If you want to continue helping him, seek assistance to his family or close friends. You can't single handly him right now and you need some backup. Don't give up. Regardless of the age, no one can withstand the wrath of doing gambling especially if already fall on the gambling trap.

I'm afraid that if help will be stop, that person will turned into worst. I know it's on the person itself to make some adjustment but in that situation, the person's mind is not properly working anymore since he already fall on gambling trap. Again, don't give up. Continue to help that person until the realization will come to him and as I mentioned, ask some assistance to your circle of friends.

In gambling what you need is luck because you may make your research from different ways but you will not have the opportunity to win, so secondly its good for someone to know gambling before the person gambles, because gambling have advantages and disadvantages and when you have the disadvantages at hand you may likely win gambling very well, sometimes making a research is not what that will guarantee you winning in gambling, so being luck is one of the elementary concepts that gives people the chance of making gain or profits in gambling

This individual is addicted to gambling and the proper thing his family or friends can do for him is to help him stop gambling, he can't stop gambling on his own as his addiction will always lead him back to gambling but with the help of a professional, he can overcome his addictions. He can also plan the money he used for gambling. When he received his salary, he shouldn't allocate all to gambling but divide them into different parts and only use those meant for gambling to bet.

Lack of planning is the reasons many individuals spend carelessly. You don't have to waste all your money on gambling. Gamblers lose more than they earn when gambling due to over betting therefore as a responsible gambler, you have to be planning so you don't lose control of your expenses and spend more money on gambling instead of investing into reliable investment that can give you more money.

and that person should minimize the risks from gambling by not using all the money he has earned by working so hard.

it may be enough to only set aside about 10% of his income to play in gambling. so he didn't sacrifice all the money and instead lost it all. I think 10% of income will have no effect on his life. and his desire to gamble had also been conveyed with just that money. Winning or losing is an afterthought, the important thing is to be able to manage your finances well so you don't suffer in the future.

Of course, because there is one factor that makes them not want to stop gambling, namely "winning opportunities", this is what makes it difficult for a gambler to get out of his gambling activities, especially if the person is already addicted, as I said earlier that there is a hope factor that they put on winning opportunities, which means that this continues to encourage and encourage them to continue gambling until they get what they want, But what must be known is that the name "desire" or lust will never have the word "finish / end" which means they will never know and will never find the end of their gambling journey because there is no consistent word in winning to get a lot of money, which means they will only rotate in two results, namely today winning and tomorrow losing and losing becomes something that makes them even more curious, always like that without a time limit that is not determined, so the point is only they themselves can decide about when they have to stop.

Money is one of the most important things in life and everyone who lives needs money to support their lives and this is quite a realistic reason why many people end up addicted to it, they can't ignore a place that gives them the opportunity to earn money, but the problem is that people misunderstand how gambling works, after all it is always nothing more than a "chance" which means it has absolutely no certainty to become a reality unless they are really lucky. On the other hand as you said that in gambling the winning percentage is much smaller which means that losing can be more dominating and in the end for someone who is irresponsible they will get stuck in the cycle of "gambling to get back something that was lost", I have one friend who gambled with a budget of about $3 and he was one of those gamblers who could not accept the reality of losing which in the end the next time he thought of spending his entire salary of approximately $200 and ended up regretting it. this is the danger when you intend to get back something that was lost in gambling, however being a responsible gambler is more recommended.

If a person spends his entire salary on gambling, it means that he is not that he is not developing or standing still, he is clearly degenerating. Probably there are already problems in his head and they are quite serious. I think that such a person is not able to fight gambling addiction on his own. He needs the help of specialists and he should turn to them for help as soon as possible.

Having a source of income is not just enough or a guarantee in winning gambling or the best best to start playing gambling.  But I see, the problem we do have in gambling is that we are inpatient,  our mindset is just to make money so fast from gambling which we think it all about having the money to place a bet. Doing research before playing gambling will save us from lots of loses and dangerous effect in gambling.  

Their are many reason's why to make research before playing gambling,  is to know more about gambling companies to be sure which one is reputable to play gambling. Research is also important for gamblers to know the character one needs to exhibit that will be of help on how to handle gambling.  People easily fall into the hands of addiction because they do not have the understanding of how to go about gambling,  they just feel gambling is just about having money to play.

Or discipline and a plan.
If a gambler has a planned amount on where he would get out then I think it can be a successful strategy. But there are gambler who has a plan but lacks discipline too. Let's say they will get out after $100 profit, I doubt their greed can be controlled because they will feel they are lucky so they will keep on going until rekt comes.
This has been the mistake for most gamblers and also the reason why all the gambling platforms either casinos or sports bookies are all successful. That's because we don't have the power to be satisfied. This is also one of the reasons why Steve Jobs's iPhone has never-ending sales. They just add one number to the iPhone brand and then all buyers will come again even though their iPhones are all brand new or the newest edition.
People are meant to be not satisfied with what they have, some even cross the line at selling their internal body parts just so they can afford their luxuries.
It's not different with gambling. Even though we are on a state of profits, we always say we ain't done yet. We always want more.

well, this means that everything in gambling will always provide temptations that are difficult to avoid and this is one thing that gamblers who want to start gambling really have to pay attention to because these temptations will usually appear unconsciously and when they are tempted and continue gambling, they will not be aware of what has been done beyond the budget limit and he will realize when his money has run out and experience regret, sadness and anger towards gambling and can encourage a novice gambler to pursue defeat and become addicted.
and from what you said that I quoted, I have come to the conclusion that something that beginner gamblers must really pay attention to is self control and planning budget limits to avoid running out of savings and if a beginner gambler is able to have good control and can manage budget, I'm sure in the long term there won't be any problems.

It should be like that, before we start and get involved in gambling, do research first regarding our financial condition, daily activities and the responsibilities we are carrying out. Therefore, always determine clearly the maximum limit for the money we spend on gambling. This needs to be done to ensure that the gambling we do does not affect our daily activities and other financial responsibilities. So that the losses we experience in the gambling we do do not affect our financial balance. Next, apply a playing time limit because we don't want the gambling we do to influence and become an inhibiting factor for activities that are more important than just gambling. Especially if you are married and working, then it would be stupid for us to prioritize gambling above the responsibilities we are carrying out and other more important activities.

Gambling wisely involves being aware of its impact on your life as a whole. Research and reflection before gambling are proactive steps to ensure that this activity remains entertainment and does not lead to negative consequences.

Maybe this is based on what I have only seen, because I can't see everything, gambling addicts are the hardest to change, try all you can, if it work it's because the person wanted to change by all means, most addicted gamblers only dream of changing but they can't just help themselves, this ones are the hardest, they can even turn your worst enemy if you take things too far with them.

My advice is do what you think it's best for them depending on their level of addiction, if they aren't even trying so hard to beat the addiction on their own they don't deserve any help, but mind you, they will later learn, it might just be too late at the time.

Once gambling takes everything from some addicted gamblers, that will be their wake up call, so it's best not to do anything in the case of any addicted gambler that isn't trying so hard to stop his or her own addiction.

@OP you need to know there are many adults who not matured enough, although I can't understand why it can happen since when we're already reach 20 years old, we can think between which thing is good and which thing is bad.

Such people need to be taught from beginning and very detail, as simple as how to eat. Normal people will don't have to be taught since it's easy. But this kind people you need to explain from: try to find a spoon, scoop your food, open your mouth, put the food inside your mouth, close your mouth, chew until small and swallow it.

Also believe that a gambler addict changes because it is time for them to reconsider their habit and their mindset is telling them to stop, so at that stage any little effort on them to stop will work but if they are not yet considering it but only thinking of how to recover their loses and probably win some jackpots, you probably would try longer. There is time in the moment of a gambling addict that he wants to come out of it, so don't try to force it too much, just try but if it doesn't work then let go at the time and try some other time.

I think you have done your part about giving him advice with everything which revolved around his decisions. This really boils down on how he can stop his urges that clouds his judgement from making rationalize decisions.

I do think that another advice would be to explore activities outside gambling. For example, you can expose him to different hobbies (e.g. hitting the gym, outdoor activities, etc.) that makes him not want to think about gambling. If his mind is busy with other things, then he can use these new hobbies as his gateway and rest at the same time.

While this may be some advice that I could think of, it really goes to show that if the person is willing to help himself, then it may be achievable. But if he still continues his acts despite people telling him otherwise, the problem is really with him.

Not all players lose more than they earn in gambling, and even if some of them lose more than they earn, this does not mean that they will become addicted because of it. If this does not have a negative impact on the budget, then there is nothing wrong with someone getting into gambling.

Perhaps before you start playing, it would be worthwhile to study how good you are at this, but I doubt that this is possible without real money. You can be a great player on a demo account, but once you start playing for real money everything changes, so in any case, only playing for real money will help you understand how good you are at gambling.

When I see the concern of doing research before gambling, I see an unseriousness in the individual because gambling is supposed to be from the wealth of knowledge that one has gathered over time.
It's good to do research though, but having to be particular about it makes it no more fun and more or less like a career venture that one intends to undertake.

Learn the basics and develop your style or strategy as it is known and the rest has to do with one gambling with the amount of money one can afford to loose, and nothing more.

What's your relationship with that person? If you are truly close to him, discuss his problem with his spouse or girlfriend and also tell his parents that he's already on the road to becoming a much more addicted person to gambling.

A suggestion to just allocate the percentage of his salary to gambling won't work because once the limit has been reached, temptation will follow.

What about his status as a normal person prior doing gambling? Is he still responsible for other things despite being addicted to gambling now?

He will only experience problems if he spends his entire salary on gambling and will not be able to meet his daily needs. He needs to realize that he has to allocate funds for gambling and his daily needs so that he can see how much limit he has for gambling and must not exceed the limit. If he always violates his boundaries, he will only have gambling addiction problems without realizing it because he just sees that gambling has now become something important for him. He wanted to win from gambling until he developed a gambling addiction. He really needs to get help from the people around him to take him to a specialist so he can get the right help.

If a person is engaged in betting and wants to earn with their help, it is necessary to study the object for betting in detail, and try to bet on something where something depends on the person. And do not believe that different people get huge jackpots - usually casinos allow you to win large sums of money to acquaintances of the founders for promotional purposes

Sometimes I wonder why a person whom gambling is frustrating will still remain stuck there even when it is causing him pain. I thought people actually learn from their mistakes, so don't addicted gamblers learn from their own mistakes and quit doing what is causing them pain? Consistently spending a huge part of his salary on gambling, even to the extent of becoming broke is a big cause for alarm. We certainly cannot help someone who is not interested in being helped, he must first admit that he wants to be helped. If he does not admit, all efforts of help from people will be in vain, but if he admits, cooperation and mutual agreement will be achieved, with this we can trust the healing process.


This is actually true for most addicted gamblers but why wait till you are damaged before you seek for help? Gamblers need to be very conscious. Once you begin to do abnormal things just to gamble, then you have to call yourself to order. No addicted gambler enjoys being addicted, especially when persistent huge losses are involved.  The earlier you realise your errors, the better for you.

I agree with your point that gambling budget should never be more than 1-5% of total income if someone spends more than this then it can be understood that he is very addicted to gambling and he is using gambling as a source of income not for fun. If he does, he should do a lot of research before gambling. But a gambler who uses gambling only for fun purposes does not need any resources and can start gambling anytime just for fun by spending some money. But he must invest the amount of money that he can afford to lose

Because their desire to get back the money they lose. There are some gambler who just can't move on with their losses, most of them are just planning to break even and just quit after getting the break even goal. But the more you chase on gambling is the higher chance you lose. Even if they know that they exceed their allotted gambling funds, they still try to play by spending more just to at least break even.

It's just that there are gamblers who don't realize that they are an addict, those type of gambler needs some outside help from others. Making them realize that they need some help.

It is true that their thinking only thinks about winning, which makes it difficult for them to stop gambling, including winning, most gamblers when they win can change their motives, where maybe at the beginning they gambled with a target, but after reaching the desired target they changed their motives. It is possible that they will return to gambling because they want a bigger win that they can get, because maybe the win they have already got makes them believe they can still get an even bigger win, but this is of course not certain, because the defeat factor is still there and still applies.

that's true, because some people say that gambling can make you rich in a short period of time, unfortunately in my opinion that's not true, because it's impossible for them to get rich quickly just by gambling, of course if they want wealth or financial freedom they have to work hard because that's for sure. In my opinion, what happened to your friend is something that is common in gambling, because it also happens because of the winning factor that he wants to get, it is possible that he did that because he really wanted to get a big win that could cover all his losses, including making a profit, but what Surely all of that won't just happen. Also I think the chance of winning in gambling is only 1%, and 99% of it is losing. Therefore, if you gamble with large bets or deposit large amounts of money, you must consider it carefully. Don't regret it at the end.

That's right, because gambling has a very strong attraction or temptation, many people gamble to the point of becoming addicted because they can't control themselves well. With the temptation of gambling, I think everyone agrees that gambling has power. strong pull. obviously they will be tempted by gambling and subconsciously they will become addicted to gambling to the point where they can spend a lot of money gambling, and it's true that when they lose a lot of money I think they will regret it, but that doesn't mean they will stop gambling, because that's possible. they can gamble again with the motive of wanting to recover losses that have occurred.

because I think it can make gambling that is done to remain safe, I mean it can reduce risks or avoid risks that will occur, because with good self-control I think they can limit their gambling, when they lose they will stop, in other words, not deposit. return their money to chase victory because that is the wrong thing, also when they win they don't continue with careless actions, they immediately cash in the winnings they have obtained because they know that if they continue winning, they will most likely only suffer a defeat which will make the winnings they have obtained disappear. back, and I think this includes self-control.

I don't think the research op is talking about is relevant to gambling. All the bettor will pray for is luck but research would be much better for does that are about to invest in bitcoin, for people that  just starting betting should take the casinos policy serious. And you have to understand gambling before starting will make everything easier. Because you cannot understand gambling if you don't know how to select your games. Everything has its advantage and disadvantages but the disadvantages is more than the advantages because people are clearly misusing it. And when they get too attached to it don't want to even try anything else but gamble all day and even act as if they get a job.

I say that to bet you don't have to do much Research , All you have to do is Learn to Understand the game, things can look like this , I Always go to Play because things can stay that way , if there is Nothing you know I'm not going to start playing a game in Which I'm going to make money with my money without Knowing what it's like , I wouldn't do that, it would be Stupid , the best Thing here is to Always start doing things better, that is , I have to have full I know how I should Play to see if I can do it and gain expertise, otherwise I wouldn't do it Anymore.

What we must be careful when Betting , if we are not Careful when betting , then we Will lose Money , that is the delicate thing , we Cannot allow Ourselves to be Carried Away by what we Supposedly must take care of in every way , money is the Most Important thing in a Casino , There is no way to do things Better if you Start doing them in a Crazy way , otherwise things Should not be done that Way.

Totally really just that common sense that whenever you do tend to play gambling which you havent been able to know or havent done yet then it would
be normal that you would really be finding out the mechanics or the ways on how to play it but we know that most of the games that we do have online
specially luck based ones doesnt really that having that technical kind of approach towards it on which you would really be that needing at least on the common sense or awareness
on how its done on which it wont really be that hard much.

You wont really be that indeed stupid if you do just make yourself hover into the gambling field as if you dont have any knowledge at least.
Of course you would really be that wary in towards your actions.

For someone who is already addicted to gambling like this, it's not even advisable for you to tell him he should limit the way he gambles and the amount he spends on gambling.
 
I used to think that tips worked before, but now I see that the best thing for such a person to do is to stop gambling completely for the time being. It's not as if he doesn't gamble; he can't live.
 
You should advise him to stay away from gambling for as long as possible. He should see a therapist who can help talk him out of that and give him some professional counselling and recommendations.

We can render out own help to them and that is of they have chosen to listen appropriately and acted upon every suggestions we have made, one thing I've noticed about some gamblers is that some things concerning them were easier said than being done, even they themselves could explain why.

But as fellow gamblers, we can choose to help and give our best and left for them to utilize every efforts rendered or not for their own good, we know it's not easy but we can also make it more easier for ourselves we we choose to be discipline with it, that is their own challenge.

Do you also know that most of these gamblers don't even believe and agree that they have moved from being a normal gambler to a level of addiction? It's only when someone knows they are addicted that they can start looking for solutions.
 
Like you have said above, it's easier to say than to do. You can advise them to do one thing about their gambling behaviour, which will help them, and they will agree to do it, but the moment they try it once while you are still close to them or watching them, after you leave that premises, they will go back to their old gambling ehavior.
 
The best way I think we can help a gambler addict is if we are part of their family or close relatives. We can keep an eye on them, keep them busy, distract them, and let them know that staying without gambling is easy and that there are other ways to have fun and be entertained without even spending money.

Once someone is addicted with gambling it very tough to reverse him back. Most of the case they don't stop before losing everything. I am not sure what should I suggest actually. Maybe somehow you can try keep him away from the gamling environment,  it may help a little bit. For example if he play on online casino then maybe to keep away from mobile and pc device. If he plays in physical casino then keep him busy with other interested things during the time he normally goes to play.

We don't know if he's got a family to take care of, if someone can help him with the addiction. The best idea for him would be to get someone to manage his wealth, for him, meaning that he'd have to cease his account to a family member and get that person to pay all his bills first and then give him whatever they both agree to. That would of course have to be a trusted person, which is why I asked if he's got a family, wife and children. If I had such a situation or my wife would be in one, I'd demand that she wires her wage to my account and I'd put a limit on her card that she'd be able to only withdraw a certain amount per day. In extreme cases your friend would need someone to exclude him from every possible casino in town and block his Internet access until he's able to control his addiction.

In fact, we really have to have income to start gambling because with that income we can gamble but there is no guarantee that we can win at gambling. Yes, that is the problems of every gamblers because all they think about is money and money, how their money can multiply easily, even though they should realize that gambling has a greater risky of losing and possibly causing addiction if it cannot be handled well. Before gambling, we should do research first before we enter the world of gambling.

It's a good idea for us before we start gambling to do research first so that we remain careful when gambling on gambling sites because if we enter a gambling site that doesn't have a reputation, it will be very dangerous, the money in your balance could be drained, your data will be misused, besides that, we It is also necessary to make yourself aware of being careful and having limit when gambling so as not to become addicted because when someone is involved with money, they will easily be provoked which will ultimately lead to addictions.

I have this kind of story for the first time that the hard working people are also can be a addicted gambler. Actually addiction is a bad thing gambling addiction can never be cured without personal effort. And so it should be highlighted in front of him that what kind of problems people have to face in life due to gambling addiction.

Many gamblers cannot control their emotions when playing. When emotions are not controlled, the brain will continuously tell you to always double your losses so that you can at least get back the money you have lost. This is a major problem for players that needs to be cured. Even though there are some players who can control this, it is only a small part.

actually that is called chasing losses mate and indeed that there are so many gamblers who falls from this gambling traps, this is the mindset gambling games telling our mind and so they are winning and we are losing ,
never chase losses instead allocate enough funds each set of gaming you will do for better and cheaper result.
because if you are going to win then that is not a matter of capital by all means instead it is about  how much luck will be with you that time.

Before starting any kind of economic activity it is better to do some research, but what the OP says is not a question of research, it is a question of someone who has a problem and there is no research that is worthwhile.


I'm sorry but in those cases I prefer to stay away, unless it's your brother or a case like that. It has to be the person who makes a conscious decision about it, which they usually only do after they have hit rock bottom.

I hope it's easy to stay away when you are addicted with gambling, some people might be able to do that but there are also some that wouldn't stop until they lose everything they have. That kind of addiction is probably worse but it could happen to anyone of us if we don't have the discipline, like gambling thinking that there's no tomorrow, and doesn't want to stop gambling when losing, this kind of attitude will bring us to sure disaster.

People are frustrated. They gamble because they experience bigger losses than they had previously anticipated. They do not immediately stop their gambling activities when they have lost several times and are instead emotionally triggered to spend more money because they think that they can win if they bet a lot of money. But they get more losses that they are not ready to see and become frustrated. This has been experienced by many people so if we don't want it to happen to us, we must try to prevent it from happening by always limiting the amount of money and adhering to that limit. There are many things we need to know before we start gambling, especially if we are unable to control ourselves when gambling for a while. We must be able to learn self-control and also learn how to set the betting amount because it involves using money to gamble.

Winning some money in the first few gambling sessions can be very dangerous for a gambler because that makes them think that they can always have the same results which makes them gamble a lot after those starting sessions. This is why a gambler should lose in their first couple of sessions when they are starting to gamble because that can save them from getting addicted to gambling.

The person that you are talking about, if he is your friend, you should help him out by keeping his money with yourself and only giving him a portion of it for gambling, or at least suggest him to do that with someone else if you can't do it. A family member should take that responsibility, and after a few months of doing that, he will hopefully get away from the addiction.

If people in that addiction state then for sure they can't stay away as easy as we think since the feeling is really different since they always find the feeling to gamble since if they can't do any gambling activity they feel bored and find way just to gamble. This is the reason why gambling addiction is destructive since gambling addicted gamblers cannot help theirselves to stop what they are doing since they always urge to gamble that's why usually they don't easily quit and encounter those huge lose that we can't imagine.

This is how those unimaginable crimes happened since some of them commit a crime just to get money to fulfill their gambling hobbies since they feel so restless if they can't gamble even in single hour of the day. That's why its really important to discipline ourselves and always know our priorities to avoid getting into worse situation and can still perform healthy gambling habbits.

To me, the problem starts when the person has taken gambling as another source of income. With a belief like that he would want to win from gambling at all cost.
You can get money through gambling, but that doesn't make it a source of income. An income has to be payment for a work you did. Money from gambling is not an income.

If as a person you want other sources of income, get an investment, expand your business, start another business, or get a skill so you can earn from that skill.  You can also get a second or third job if your schedule permits you.
My point is, do whatever you have to do to have another source of income and grow(legally of course) but don't ever think gambling can be another source of income.
Having a source of income that is not even steady is not good enough

help him convince him that allocating all his money to gambling is a bad idea, tell him that making money is very difficult, how could he be willing to waste it on gambling, he won't move if he doesn't stop gambling

He must be able to express the fact that gambling by allocating all his money will not guarantee he can win and is a bad idea. He must learn ways to allocate a certain amount of money and use it to gamble properly to avoid losing a lot. If not, besides losing more money, he also has the potential to keep returning to gambling to try to recover his losses, and that means he could become addicted to gambling. When he is addicted to gambling, he will not realize that he has gone too far in gambling and really needs help to get out of his gambling addiction. Before it's too late, we can help him by telling him the truth about gambling so he can realize it.

That's why lots of gamblers need to carry out some research on ways to deal with gambling targets and goals. Since not all targets can be reached, some could be very hard to win, due to the impossible chances of achieving it in gambling. Starting out gambling with no strong information about the required skills and strategies needed to stay safe in the game, a gambler could be risking not only his money, but his precious time in gambling. Seeing a side hustle possibility in gambling is not achievable. Because the income won't be stable, and the gambler can be spending more money from his mainstream of income to finance the gambling habit. Hence the player who chooses such option in gambling is not making the right decision. Circumstances like not having anybody to discuss gambling with or places to read about gambling news, has left some people uninformed about the Dos and don'ts in gambling.

That's literally how everyone who is new into gambling thinks well atleast the one's that really don't see that they are diving into a deep pool that will make them get twisted  and at end up ruin their life. Gambling is supposed to be enjoyed and anything other than that is totally a death trap so if I were the one that continue gambling and nothing seems to be showing for it then it probably best to actually stop the act and focus the energy elsewhere but that seems to be hardest thing to do for some gamblers.

The only time you may not enjoy gambling well enough as you should will be when you gamble for the purpose of making money and not for entertainment as it should be, at this point, the possibilities of getting ruined becomes very paramount as you may gamble irresponsibly especially when you loosing.

Gambling is supposed to be enjoyed a.d seem as entertainment but when some newbies gamble and they are fortunate to win I'm their first trial, they most likely see it as a money making venture a d forget it was actually for entertainment and the worse of it has to be when they see that others won huge amounts gambling, it makes them feel its a job and they too can change their financial status gambling only to end up getting ruined at some point and they will go ahead to blame it on gambling meanwhile their greed got the most part of them actually.

It's difficult to recover someone if addicted to gambling, the only way is through to a psychologist, but it's also not a guarantee will be completely cured if there are still people gambling around him, he will return to gambling if he can easily access the gambling site. So if I were you, I'd just let it be, what most important thing is I have to keep avoiding to meeting him. maybe if you really care about him, just direct him to play games on Android with not real money to play gambling games.

Yea, some people just bump into gambling without proper research, some of them feel that there us something into this gambling of a thing and this because they won't have proper knowledge or information about gambling, this set of persons are lavishing in addiction.
Addiction has death with many people due to lack if interest on the beginners side to make much enquiry before involving fully in gambling, must addiction today has been triggered by either losing or winning, when some gamble lose, they chase after their loss in so doing, they get into the main thing fully this is also applicable when they win too.

To me i don't see if their chance of winning is increasing why because someone who doesn't gamble regularly might just involved in slot game and made fortune out of his or her life while those who has been gambling for decades has not made anything tangible thing from gambling and sometimes it looks very funny to see how gambling works because we can't actually predicts whom to win or whom to lose the game. You would see some people that has wasted their money striving harder to make sure they have made little winning from gambling yet nothing and even as that they still keeps trying their luck for winning.

If this person in question keeps insisting and he can't resist such urge then this might be difficult to handle. I believe people like this also want to change cause there's no life for him if he keeps continuing like this.
In my opinion let him learn the hard way so he will change for good, you can't force anyone to change their lifestyle neither the way they think so he should learn his lessons by himself.
You can't actually change him but you can introduce an investment that can help in terms of storing wealth for future purpose. People like this should always have an investment for future purpose cause they lack the idea to save.

his life will be in vain if he continues to maintain his habit, if he wants to change his life he must really stop gambling or as long as he thinks that gambling is just entertainment, there is no need to spend a lot of money on gambling he will rise from his downturn, but if he thinks that by gambling his money will be doubled he will continue to decline

There is a way to help him but first, he need to help him self by understanding that he need to do research before you do anything in life. Unless he is been course or lack what gambling is about, I don't think it will make send for an adult to hustle for 30 days only to waste everything on gambling, like he isn't stress for doing that? He doesn't have responsibilities or bills to pay, he might have another way of having money to east and do other stuffs else I don't think a grown up person will do something these crazy and will repeat the same thing.

If you can help me, sit him down and spank his head with some advice, tell him how gambling is meant to be done, if possible give him a formula and percentage of Bankroll he should use a month before gambling. If he is serious about his life, he is going to change and if he is not ready, I don't think you can change his orientation and views of gambling. He will sort it out own his own but them a lot of damage would have been done or more losses.

This shows more signs of an addicted irresponsible gambler. A gambler that has no source of income but consistently uses the little he has to gamble is irresponsible and has failed to plan well for him self. Before you engage yourself in gambling activities, you should be able to provide other important things to survive for your self or your family as gambling most times can be draining and most your the funds your put in to it may end up being lost.

Again, spending so much of your earnings or salary on gambling also is a sign of irresponsibility as you have also failed to plan. Gambling is for fun, some people consider it as just a games the play at their leisure while some consider it as something they do often. If we use this mind set. And play more, we will end up spending too much on our gambling activities and less on most important aspects of our life.

Signs of problem gambling appear when it becomes a priority. Too many times, gaming devours resources that should have gone to more important purposes.

Your argument about gambling without a steady income resonates. Trying to fill a bucket with a hole at the bottom is like that. No amount of effort is enough. Remember, odds are usually against us. They claim the house always wins.

You're right about appropriate planning. Essential needs should never be sacrificed for gambling. A harsh but necessary fact. People trapped in this loop should seek help since it shows strength and self-awareness.

It is normal to expect for profit from gambling but as you guys have mentioned, we have no control of gambling outcome. Anticipating odds being against us or the fact that losing is more often to happen will be enough for us to always be mindful of the amount we will be betting. You could be profitable in some days but expect losing bets afterwards because no such thing exist as consistency especially winning in gambling. No research will help you increase the chance of winning especially with casino games.  Many people or gamblers are even coming up to the point that they would sell some of their properties to aid the loss and debt resulted from gambling. If he has been too impulsive of his money due to this industry then he's for sure needing professional help. Never wait for worse situations that may take place eventually if things won't be properly managed or stopped.

Why is it impossible, every research done will have a chance even if it is a gamble.
Like the casino game Domino, Poker is a card game that requires concentration and analysis on the cards owned and held by the opponent.
When able to guess the various scenarios of cards that will come out, then we can already guess how the game goes.

No research is in vain when you are already an expert, all will provide opportunities, even if only a few percent.

Knowing that every individual has their own duties and obligations with respect to the choices they make and also understanding the ramifications of these choices is a significant stage in assisting someone who is grappling with issues in gambling and life. Moreover, transforming one’s mindset and lifestyle cannot be an easy task to perform; it can only be achieved through knowledge and exposure.

On the subject of investment, storing wealth is one of the good uses of investment. Certainly, this can help someone understand how important it is to plan for the future and manage finances well.


If the gambling he does is only an obstacle to his achievement, then deciding to stop gambling activities is a quite wise decision. and it is indeed a wrong perception that gambling can provide benefits and can change a person's life for the better financially.

Before diving into anything new, it's wise to take a step back and conduct some research. This preliminary investigation helps us gain a clear understanding of what we're getting ourselves into, thereby minimizing the risk of failure and the potential for addiction, especially in the realm of gambling.

Observing the situation, it appears that he hasn't yet developed a severe addiction, leaving room for intervention and support before the situation worsens. It's unwise for individuals to exhaust their entire income on gambling, leaving insufficient funds for essential family expenses. Making prudent decisions regarding gambling is essential to avoid such predicaments affecting our friends.

If you're looking to provide assistance, a consistent reminder of the potential losses associated with excessive gambling can serve as a helpful intervention strategy. By emphasizing the negative consequences of depleting finances through gambling, we can encourage more responsible behavior and discourage harmful habits.

The guy in the OP is just addicted and that has made him senseless in his dealings. Someone who is working so hard all day and will only waste everything on gambling, this is pathetic and I believe that his whole orientation about gambling has to change. He needs to find a way to heal himself, and the fact that he has been talking about something telling him to always gamble when he didn't want to do it calls for extra concern. I advise the guy to take a break from gambling, his issue is more than a mere addition, this is deeply rooted in him and makes him look so stupid as he gambles. He positions his mind towards the money he would make from it, but instead continues to lose money.

That is enough reason to talk sense to this guy, he needs to change that mindset. I don't believe anyone who is not so budgetary and disciplined towards gambling can be doing a thing like that. This is what he should first realize, and the moment he accepts that something is wrong with him, he will be able to change the narrative to his advantage. He should take a long break from gambling and return later. But if the issue persists after that, he might consider quitting for a long time period of time. But in this case, finding other earning purposes that are not about gambling is good. This might solve the issue since money is the main motive of his gambling. By securing another means to make the money, he could be cured.

But in this case we must realize that deciding to stop activities in gambling is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand because after all we must realize that stopping activities that we always do must take time and effort as well as in gambling.

Indeed, it would be great if indeed seeing from the completion that is done when something can hinder the achievement you have then it would be better if it is released so that it does not interfere with you in getting an achievement but when this relates to the habit of gambling in the end letting go of it requires more effort because after all gambling is a very difficult thing for us to stay away from when we are used to doing it because there will always be a feeling of lack when we don't do gambling in the end.

He just needs help sohe will be able to quit gambling at least for a while until he's able to take care of his mind well enough to control himself not to be spending so much on gambling to the point it causes him ruin, but then he has to first make up he's mind that he no longer wants to continue with such and would want to get on a new leave.

It's normal for beginners luck to be a fuelling factor for some newbies gamblers to want to continually gamble some more even after they have been known that it was just luck, they will think that it's actually was gambling and they can get lucky much more than they would be unlucky but then sadly sometimes it doesn't turn out that they will be lucky again and they may end up loosing all that they have gathered to the casino again, but then some of them learn after such experience and become more controlled and a better gambler.

One of the most important thing in gambling or on the time that you do engage with it is not to make yourself that addicted.No matter which type of gambling you are into whether strategic or luck based casino games which it doesnt matter. People would really be sharing up with the same mindset and having those hopes in mind when dealing up with gambling on which it is really to make money.
REsearch isnt really that the main thing which is needed but rather having the control and discipline on dealing up into this space. We do know that when it comes to gambling then tendency of
addiction is really high and this is something that should really be avoided in the first place. This is why it would be always best on having that control on this.

The gambling stopping should need to understand by the gamblers first,because without their own opinion it’s not possible to stop the gambling.In addition the gamblers should accept it was the process doesn’t work at instantly.When the gamblers begin to the gambling addiction,it’s not easy for the gambler to stop the gambling as like we think.He should initiate the gambling addiction reduction by the amount of money deposited to the gambling site.This only works because when the deposit money is low,the loss also low.

​If someone entered a casino and did that, winning a lot of money for the first time, with their first experience, it is something great, but if the person continued and then lost and fell into addiction, well, that is something we have. What to see is that it was perhaps due to inexpedience, which is what commonly happens, so if you fell into addiction like that once and it's something very unfortunate, but what can you do now? read? Yes, it is the most recommendable that the eposn that gave you this because it is dedicated to educating itself about casinos, in the way of doing things, in what the risk is like and everything that people can go through when they become addicted So for me it is imperative that you can tell those people that to avoid getting out of control, they have to allocate money that they are willing to lose, that is something they have to do, otherwise things can be very disastrous, this is what I would like Spread the word to avoid a lot of addiction in games.

In this order of ideas, I have always thought that a person who is in this problem, the most recommended thing is that he go to a psychologist and that they give him all the possible recommendations and treatments to get him out of it, and if he cannot treat the addiction because the case is very advanced, pass it on to another addict who can medicate and everything, the most important thing is that you take preventive measures, because it is very sad for a person to throw away their life due to an addiction, which is gambling and alcohol They are something that must be taken with great care and respect.

Another type of addiction like drugs is more delicate, it is something that you have to do things, I know people who are addicted to "chimu" I don't know if they know it, but that is a very ugly addiction, and quite strongly, in Personally, I will always see this as a way to make the people affected in something, I am very emphatic about that, since all these types of things are the ones that should be avoided.

Ahh, I see where you're coming from and I quite agree with the fact that some of our gambling friends here are "not addicted to gambling per se" but are oftentimes seen wasting all their paychecks on gambling, not good if I do say so myself. Which is why I started incorporating a gambling bankroll that is self-sustaining cause nowadays being safe from gambling addiction's just not gonna cut it anymore, you have to make sure that you also aren't using your pocket money to support your gambling indulgences if you wanna stay afloat.

Personally, I have a bankroll that I don't use for anything else than gambling, it's not that much anyway as it's only a couple thousand dollars in there separate from all of my bank accounts and all that. I use money from that bankroll to support my gambling desires, and have made it self-sustaining by incorporating a net-profit system of play (three losses or three wins = quit for the day) which allowed me to preserve the immediate value of the bankroll for quite some time now.

You don't have to be scrooge mcduck to have your own bankroll and support your gambling journey without taking it out of your pocket. If anything I say this is something that you should look into the moment you decide you want to gamble more.

Yes, it depends on how willing to stop it and what level of addiction is experienced, if the desire to stop gambling is very weak then yes he will never be able to stop gambling, but if with a strong determination to stop even if it takes time, it will certainly heal by itself.

The thing to make changes is to never be afraid and make a lot of excuses, it takes time, it is difficult and others that make someone not have a strong motivation to stop gambling, but with a note that gambling does make it bad in a life that has principles.

Many people have the energy for hard work but they lack knowledge about progression, I understand this perfectly, and in today world it's better to be more smarter than becoming a hard worker, just been a hard worker doesn't pay in today's world.

It's even better to be smart and avoid hardworking, yes smart ness can bring you the changes you desire faster than brute forcing through everything, any hard worker with no sense will fall in the foot of the smart people and the smart people will use the hard workers for themselves.

There are people who ask others about gambling and from the answers they got they choose to avoid gambling, that's without giving it a try in the first place, they just decide not to have anything to do with gambling, that's because they did their own research and findings first, and what they get is what they are not prepared for.

Before allowing a situation where you need to think about quitting gambling, it would be worthwhile to analyze how great are the chances in gambling to achieve what you are striving for?

That is, before I start playing, I would try to figure out how I can make money in gambling, and get at least an approximate understanding of how I can achieve this. Then I would highlight some budget and start trying to see how real it is for me. In this case, I don’t see where gambling could become a problem for me, because at every stage I will control everything.

And if for a player these are chaotic actions, he tries to play without a plan, without understanding, without a clear budget, then yes, this can lead him to problems.

The idea that hard labour no longer works in today's fast-paced environment is correct. A harsh realisation is dawning on many. Utilising intellect above work is tempting and vital. My experience has shown me how smart people outmanoeuvre hard workers.

Is avoiding hard labour the answer? In my perspective, intelligence without effort is like a car without gas. Smarts get you going, but hard effort keeps you going.

Your research-based abstinence from gambling is intriguing. Gathering and acting on information is a crucial skill. But isnt life balance? While knowledge is important, so is openness to experiences. Others are deliberate risks that lead to growth.

As far as I understand there are many things to consider before gambling because these sites can ruin people's lives. As far as I can tell from my own knowledge and thinking, gambling kills people, so if one goes to this stage, he must play for fun. Because I think this section should not be played for life changing purposes. Many of those who gamble get greedy and ruin their lives and families, so everyone must consider this.

Gambling doesn't move a person forward it's a game of luck and whoever assume to go forward in life through gambling is living in his illusion and rethink again finding himself in that shit
The reality is that you can't help him doing it on your own, with all you said about this guy he has gotten to an addictive stage where a professional attention should be involved. Confining him will sound absurd for a matured family man with responsibility therefore he can be giving a rehabilitating session's with a counselor and also his family should show support by having access into his finance as it will create a limit so he doesn't have to spend all money the way he's doing.

There are no lessons on how to break the addiction, it's not taught in school and it's only the person who knows how best to quit gambling addiction and maybe some people who are already in the world of gambling will know some of the suggested ways to reduce the impact of addiction. Most people say that overcoming gambling addiction is a difficult thing, I understand that because addiction lies in a person's mind that is difficult to ignore the habits that they always want and prioritize and that means gambling addiction will be easily overcome if there is basically a strong will and determination from themselves, overcoming the disease that is in the mind must always start with themselves and only then can you follow some of the things that are suggested by many people, especially psychological experts.  But for the problem of the process yes as you said there is nothing instant and for the problem of how long you can recover completely I think it goes back to the level of addiction you are experiencing.

I think that there should be some form of "semi-professional" or informal help that his friend can receive if the services of a professional therapist is costly and unaffordable. These semi-professional and informal help could come from religious leaders, past gamblers who have recovered, mature member of the family.

A lot of gamblers do not learn both from their mistakes and the mistakes of others. Really, the lesson is learned after a huge loss. It is like the proverbial medicine after death. I too have for a lack of patience made countless mistakes in gambling but I think we get better with time as we see the mistakes reduce more and more.

Trying to stop an addiction is always one of the hardest task for an individual to accomplish, reason been that such menace has eaten too deep that the victim can not afford to detach from it. But however, the truth of the fact remains that for a gambling addict to be set free, he the addict just need to be ready and willing to stop activities that engaging in activities that resulted to his addiction, such as reckless gambling and not knowing when to stop when losing or either winning. Hence, the best way to help this friend of yours stop gambling is for someone to help him plan on how to use/spend his salary, while aloting a small portion to gambling, since it can't be automatically eradicated, but gradually.

Mistakes cannot be stopped unless we can control them well. I mean everything can still be calmed if we have an ego that can be controlled. Often we lose control when gambling and this sometimes becomes a driver that we cannot brake. The result is that we often forget and even regret when it is too late. So being more mature while it can save us.

it's best to stop giving him advice, just let it go and tell him "do whatever you want and be responsible for your actions" this way he will realize more quickly when he has lost everything and he doesn't have any hope, that way his heart will be open and he will gain a very painful experience in that way, of course he will be deterred and get better, he will think about your words

When it comes to tip then there's no tip that would work if a certain person wont really be that realizing his mistakes on which he would really be continuing to play no matter what
and no advises would really be that be heard off, yes they could hear you out but they wont really be showing care at all in speaking about quitting. They would really be that definitely
continuing or would completely stop basing into those advises, if ever your friend didnt hear you out then its his choice.You've done your part and you've been able to tell on whats better
but they've decided to continue despite of the risks involved and results or outcomes would really be always that negative and this is something that you should really be needing to realize it first.

Well, what I think about this is that things happen there, if there were cases that fit in the dirty place, then it doesn't matter, just don't go in again , Obviously don't deposit more there, maybe What seems different is that those are their policies to close the gutters, Block them, did you read the Tos in the beginning of your registration? because that is one of the flaws that we have, but don't complicate your life, don't go back to that betting house again, there are many more, that have the things that you ask for and that you are used to making a good bet, so for sure I don't think there's that much of a problem, by chance if they got a lot of documents and they want them deleted, well I think there is something to worry about, but in this order of days things can Wait , but if your concern lies in the documents Well then I would ask if the account is blocked and Later you can Ask for the Account to be deleted so that they destroy the KYC that you left.

But let this serve as a lesson for you to do things like this because they could harm us. You should not immediately launch yourself into betting paths without having first reviewed everything, each of the options or something like that, before playing or Before making a bet, one sees and takes a good look at all of one's options, coaro is now sometimes with the pure Tos, because one hopes that it will be enough.

But the things that we don't want, we shouldn't accept them, and what they told you are due to pure policies of the site and its rules, something that should have been in the Tos and that maybe I didn't list them or you missed them, as they are There are so many things in the Cough that one sometimes ignores.

The gambler who get advice from the old gambler should be accepted.Because they will advise based on the experience on the same gambling site.The gambler who take the responsibility for the loss in the gambling site are the professional gamblers.The gambler who take responsibility for each one dollar in the gambling site will make huge from the same gambling site.Because the gambler does not take risk when they take responsibility of the money in the gambling sites.The gamblers who face the loss whose heart will be broken one in the emotion.The broken heart also reason for the loss in the gambling site most likely in random betting.

Of course what you say is very true, but have you ever been with a gambling addict who spent all his money on gambling? irresponsible gambling addicts, they won't care about what we say, even if it's for their own good, it's hard to make them aware, we can only tell them, but the choice is still up to them.

That is if he realizes that what he is doing is wrong, but most gamblers will return to gambling even though they have experienced defeat. It doesn't make them stop gambling unless the person giving them advice is someone who can really understand them and is close to them. It would indeed be painful for him if he experienced defeat because he could immediately become deterred and think about the words of people very close to him. But it may take time for him to understand what he has to do and also understand what he has been advised to do. If he felt that it was good advice, he would stop gambling.

Loosing control to your ego is something almost every gambler should always keep in check because it can actually cause a lot on them and they will think it's just a normal gambling habit until they must have lost a whole lot to gambling then they will then realize their mistake a d would want to possibly make amends.

Some persons aren't disciplined with the way they gamble and that's why they have to regret after in the long run about when they have lost a lot to their gambling habit and probably they don't have much to fall back to then they would rather throw blames around and wish they weren't involved in the gambling habit they did got into but then it's usually better if one can try to get everything under control before they had got to the point where they will regret.

It seems like your friend is facing a serious issue with gambling addiction. It would be best to encouraged him to see professional support in order to take small steps to recovery. Aside from advising him to set limits to his gambling, you can opt on finding ways to cope his stress and boredom such as playing or distracting himself by doing different thyings.

We cannot give advice or tips to a gambling addict so that he can get out of his addiction, he must be treated by someone who is an expert because they have the right way to overcome addiction, sometimes even treatment for addiction can fail, especially if we only give advice or tips to addicts so they can recover.

This is what I say too, taking it to a professional is the best way even though failure is possible unless the addict finally realizes it and starts trying to reduce his gambling.

As long as we can gamble responsibly then gambling is not a problem. What will bring us problems is when we gamble beyond our means, spending money carelessly without any limits.

A gambler in recovery from gambling needs family support as well as involvement in recreational activities so that he can stay away from the intense gambling addiction. A gambler can live a busy life if he wants to, so he needs to be involved in the job and 24 hours he needs to be busy with something so that he can control himself from bad addiction like gambling. It should be remembered that an addict may feel helpless all the time, so he should always be empathetic and he should always have family support as well as friends to hang out with so that he does not break down.

This difficult in adhering to advice stems from the fact that gambling activates the brain’s reward system of an addict by releasing dopamine and this creates a euphoric feeling that reinforces the behaviour, making it difficult for individuals to resist the urge to gamble again. Gambling addiction affects impulse control, decision-making processes, and emotional regulation, making it harder for individuals to resist the urge to gamble.

In some cases, the gambler may be surrounded by friends who also engage in problematic gambling behaviours and this can normalize their addictive tendencies because the gambler will feel that there is nothing wrong with his behaviour. In addition, financial pressures resulting from gambling losses can create a vicious cycle where individuals feel compelled to continue gambling in hopes of recouping their losses. The fear of facing consequences such as bankruptcy can fuel the addictive cycle, making it difficult for individuals to break free from their compulsive gambling habits.

Precisely, even if we set examples to someone who is already addicted to gambling, they will not understand everything we say because there is only one thing that is stamped on their minds, that is to believe what they want to believe. We should not waste our time with people who are not willing to listen to our advice. We know that we have helped them in any way by giving them advice, it is up to them whether they will listen and understand everything or not.

Of course, because an addicted gambler has a strange mindset and is different from normal people in general when it comes to gambling, they have significant confidence in gambling activities, such as believing that they will really be able to win big, no matter what. the fact of defeat always hits them at the end of the session but they still believe that it is part of their struggle to produce bigger wins. All these beliefs arise due to the hope they place on winning, and this is also the reason why addiction is difficult to overcome with some suggestions even though the suggestions seem reasonable, and addiction is a disease that exists in a person's mind, simply put, addiction is very difficult to overcome if basically they still really like their gambling activities.

On the other hand, yes, I understand that we care about them, especially if they are basically one of our friends, but the fact is that it is very difficult to give them advice and usually it ends in a fight because they think that we are bothering them. So at least we have given our best, even if it is just advice and we will leave the rest to time, because only time will give them the real answer that gambling is not what they think.

The dopamine rush is simply one of many behavioral reinforcement, social, and psychological factors. The brain's reward system isnt playing tricks; its trapping people in a cycle of exhilaration and anguish. I witnessed this vicious cycle. Its a war against one's neurological connections, not just willpower. Mentioning peer influence and financial demands is touchy. Its a harsh reminder that gamblers fight an ecosystem that encourages addiction.

Breaking free requires more than willpower. Recognizing triggers, finding support, and resetting the brain's reward circuitry are necessary. A tall order, yet feasible. Empowerment and recovery begin with knowing addiction's complexity.

Faced with an addict in the family, quite a few people go to online forums and receive instructions to lock up the addict so that they have absolutely no chance to use their hands to gamble and as it spreads, it becomes one of the methods, but from a logical perspective, it doesn't seem like a suitable route for most people. Society today has experts and consulting sessions like you mentioned but perhaps a bad reputation is something that should not be bragged about, most people keep it a secret and advocate for family-oriented healing with what they have learned.

The gambler who play the game doesn’t affect the real life financial situation,it only affected only if they get gambling addiction.Because by the gambling addiction the gambler will use to play the game with all the money in their bank wallet leads to complete loss.

The gambling addicted person will play the gambling like the less skilled labour,they never worry about the results.They play the gambling with the motive of making money in the game,but making money in the gambling need of more skills.

All have their own level of gambling but the reasons to stop gambling will all remain the same because on average it will happen if we are too addicted and lose too much which results in us not being able to control what we do in the end.
Even though we all have different experiences in gambling but in the end we must realise that the biggest reason to stop gambling is the pressure because we are too focused on gambling and forgetting everything that could be an important situation such as meeting our needs in daily needs etc.

As for the problem of stopping being done as i said earlier this will not be as easy as turning the palm of the hand especially if we are already tightly tied to gambling because this is the same as making you stop the activities that you always do and it will be very torturous so that the process and seriousness will be an important factor to support it because if we are not serious in stopping gambling then forever it will not be overcome because after all this must be done in the right way and method in order to succeed. In addition, things like this also sometimes require great support from several groups including our closest family.

Small wins can feel like tiny victories, fueling the illusion that "just one more spin" will lead to riches. But that's the trap, my friend. It's like chasing butterflies – the closer you get, the faster they flutter away, leaving you with nothing but empty pockets and a nagging sense of hope betrayed.

Before you even step into that virtual casino, understand the odds. They're stacked against you, plain and simple. It's not a level playing field, and the house always has the advantage. Think of it like playing chess with a grandmaster who's blindfolded – you might win once, maybe twice, but the long game is rigged.

Responsible behavior? Absolutely crucial. Approach gambling like a tightrope walk, not a casual stroll. Set limits, stick to them like glue, and never, ever chase losses. Remember, it's entertainment, not a get-rich-quick scheme. Treat it like a fancy dinner, not an all-you-can-eat buffet – enjoy it in moderation, or you'll end up feeling queasy (and broke).

A word is enough for the wise. You have itemized the guides to be a responsible gambler and if followed then gambling will be fun and not a death sentence as some gamblers have made it appear. Setting limits should cover both financial and time limits. Financial limit involves determining how much money you are willing and able to spend on gambling activities. Once a gambler reaches this limit, he should stop gambling for the day or session. With financial limits, a gambler is prevented from overspending and his bankroll is protected. Sticking to the limit is also crucial even if you’re on a winning streak, as chasing losses can lead to further financial difficulties.

Setting a time limit is important as a gambler needs to decide how long he wants to gamble and he can do this by setting a timer in his mind or even setting an alarm if possible to remind him when his time is up. This can help ensure that he doesn’t get carried away and spend too much time gambling, which could negatively impact other aspects of his life, such as work, relationships, or personal well-being.

Easy to say that but you know that an addict will have a hard time doing that because most of them are totally in denial that they're having a problem or that they're addicted. It's a good recommendation to find other ways to distract yourself but if you've been addicted before, you're going to have a hard time concentrating on those other activities because you're so fixated on going back to what you're addicted to, they'll easily get bored so all this all boils down to that person having to be willing to change for the better but if they can't do it now, then the help that will be provided will almost always be short-lived no matter how helpful you've been.

Doing some research on your gambling activity don't seem to be a good idea in my opinion, not because it's bad but because what's the point? I mean besides learning how to play the games that you're interested in playing it, what more could you get out of research on gambling? Does the strategy that you've learned ever help you increase your chances on those games that's reliant on probability?

Research will not increase the chances of the gambling we do. However, research still needed for someone to keep their healthy gambling habbit. In my opinion, this research is not limited to whether it influences probability or strategy, but will at least provide us with readiness in every gambling activity. For example, to control emotions, determine limits and choose a gambling model. With research, at least we can consider whether sports gambling or card gambling that match with our character, or whether slots are better for finding fun in gambling. Without analysis, we may not find which one the best for our personal characteristics. but everyone definitely has their own considerations, if you think research is unnecessary, that's based on your side, because everyone has their own decisions, nothing wrong with that.

Yeah right, I'm being sarcastic about my last question. I don't believe that it does help with keeping a healthy gambling habit because I don't even believe that there's such thing as healthy gambling habit, that's like saying you've got a healthy smoking habit, gambling is a vice and the moment that you're casually playing, it's already not a healthy thing to do even if most people that are out there defending that it's got benefits, that's just their coping mechanism to justify their habit.

In my case I think its different since researching is I think can help my chances to win especially when I try to bet on sports betting site. Because there's lot of things need to watch for and its good to see some good updates on each opponent to see on who's more stronger than them and if there's injury report on the team since this could help us to decide on what teams are we going to bet.

But if we talk about luck based game then I would agree with you that research might not be needed since whatever strategy we are going to research for sure it will never work since luck play a lot of rule with that so maybe we can say that the result will all matter if we are lucky at the time we play. Research is somehow important and should be done by people since as you said it can contribute a lot of thing since its really better for a gambler so that they will not get confuse on some games they are trying to participate.

If they think like that, they will not have a chance to leave gambling instead will stay for more and spend more money. Yeah, that is the trap that every gamblers must realize so they don't playing gambling too long. "Just one more spin" already become a slogan for many gamblers so they forget to stop themselves from playing gambling and just losing more money. But I believe some gamblers can hold themselves and quit gambling before they lose more money.

It's why before someone playing gambling, he needs to research what he must know about gambling so he don't enter to the trap and can use gambling as an entertainment. It's not as hard as they think but what makes hard is people needs to doing that thing continously so they can master the abilities to prevent themselves become a heavy gambler.

Once they become a heavy gambler, they will not have a chance to realize what they already do unless they can see how much money they used and want to change it for a better. A gambler will be hard to win from the casino as the house will be the big winner and takes the money from the lose gamblers.

I don't like it if people give up on gambling addicts, and being an addict doesn't automatically mean that they are senseless or they are just daft to reason well. It only means that they are being controlled by gambling activities and all their mindsets are there. This is just a situation of being engrossed with something in which the doing of it has taken over the person. But the situation doesn't mean that they cannot behave themselves well and do well in other things of life. Even with your advice, they will listen to you since they are not mad, unlike the way you made it look. Only that it would take more than advice for them to change their ways, and if you are polite with the way you advise them, I do not think there will be an issue at all.

As many of you believe that you can't talk to a gambling addict simply because they are engrossed with it. What about those who got healed and changed their ways towards it just because someone advised them? We do not just conclude on our own, we should make attempts, that is the only when we can be sure if a certain gambler cannot change for good if they resist. Also, some may not change immediately after you advise them, nevertheless, it may sink into their brains, and the moment you persist in the advice, they get to change more. You may go practical as well by letting them know how gambling has ruined some people who passed through what such is passing through to let them know that their belief and quest could be helpless towards gambling. I am sure a lot has healed through mere advice and that is the least we can do, not that we would assume it's over for them.

For your friend to be still working and have nothing to show for it, is that not enough lesson for him to learn? What other lesson would he learn, if not to reason and ask himself the question of what ''has he achieved from gambling" and what has he been using his hard job money for, that makes him unable to afford certain things for himself that he is supposed to, as someone who works?

As humans, there are questions someone would ask you, and you will begin to rethink your whole situation of why you haven't been progressing in life.

Your friend shouldn't be like, there is nothing to be done about his situation. He is supposed to feel pained and work towards finding means to save himself from addiction to gambling. Someone can't identify his or her problem and let it slide without fighting to overcome it by all means available to them.

When individuals become addicted to gambling, they often fail to recognize the detrimental effects it has on their lives. Even if they experience a day where they lose everything they possess through gambling, they may not fully comprehend the severity of their situation. Some individuals may acknowledge their mistakes after a period of reflection, but they quickly forget the pain and resume gambling because they hold onto the hope of winning big.

Consequently, they find it difficult to relinquish their addiction to gambling, disregarding valuable advice from those who try to help them overcome it. This cycle perpetuates their gambling behavior as they continue to chase the thrill of winning, despite the negative consequences it brings. Thus, breaking free from the grip of gambling addiction requires not only recognizing its harmful effects but also accepting the need for change and seeking support to overcome it.

They would really be only recognizing it out on the time that they would really be experiencing some hardships and those negative effects on which they could actually be able to avoid it
if they are really just that serious or sensible on dealing with it. This is why people do usually messes up because they are really making themselves that too delusional because if you do
mind about becoming rich with gambling easily, instead on making it happen you would really be rather be making yourself getting poor. Doesnt really need up any research when it comes to this
because it is really just that impossible that someone cant really be able to make themselves be wary on what they are doing.

Don't ever follow the footsteps of your friend because gambling doesn't suits in most our plans and our daily lives becomes affected. Perhapes we should strive because we aim at our own lay down targets. We should be finding means of becoming profitable in the real world, not minding our chances of losses. Besides this current world is all about taking risk, we become bold enough not to missed our opportunities but keep grinding harder to stake good profits. There are lessons learnt in the system, we just have to become extremely careful because the system is not friendly.

Most people are always influenced by what other people succeed in getting and one of them is in terms of winning, when other people or friends succeed in getting a big win, they will be really tempted and try to do the same thing with the aim and hope of winning. the same thing, it's like a new motivation and enthusiasm for them to return to gambling, which they even dare to gamble in a way that is too aggressive or doesn't make sense, even though on the other hand, as you said, in gambling, something that other people succeed in getting. We don't necessarily get that either, there is a lot of evidence that we can see and take into consideration, in the end it still all depends on how lucky you are during the session and each person's luck is different.

Never mind, actually there is nothing better than not gambling at all or quitting the world of gambling and it is better to think and focus on your own life, because when you continue to be involved in gambling then indirectly you will continue to spend money on the actual gambling budget. there is no need to spend if you are not involved in the world of gambling at all, in fact there is no profit in gambling but you will only suffer many things in life, especially losing balance in your finances as a result of the wrong approach to gambling in the long term.

Things in casinos with games and the fun of playing are different, yes, some may feel motivated by what their friends achieve and that is what they want to achieve, then it is normal for these things to happen, no matter how much things can be done As they want, sometimes they don't understand it, so you have to be very mature when playing, because you are facing the house advantage and that is something that they must accept in case they lose, if they want to achieve what their friends don't It's just that they do it once, no, that friend probably had to have spent some time hitting and hitting the game until he achieved it, and sometimes those types of victories occur, for that reason we must take great care of ourselves. duinero, we must also consider that in order to have those plays, that luck, we must have total control of our money, lest it be that because we are looking for that money or that profit, our money, which is so lacking, will go away from us. cover the most basic of our lives.

I am a witness that sometimes in the most famous casinos like stake.com, there are winners, but sometimes there are multi-million dollar winners of up to $2M in the slots, and that when they show in the thread if they surprise and move a lot, this Encourages to many players so that they can do not the same thing, but something similar , why ? Because not as the player says, if the bastard, then all of us also have the same opportunity to do it, and it's not bad, but of course these things tend to be very exciting for us, but if you play you have to do it very carefully measure and not get out of control , because you have to see that in casinos you can lose money very Quickly , and that is what we should avoid.

Of course when a gambler does not research a casino first there is often a problem in the end that the gambler does not know he has the problem. That's what often happens to complaining gamblers, then when the casino management investigates it will be discovered that the problem lies with the casino gamblers.

Because they don't know the policy in gambling casinos first and it's important to know that first so that just in case there's a problem, there's something to hold on to.

Someone who gets addicted to gambling can't recognize the fact that they face because their eyes and minds was closed because of gambling. They will only experience many losses without stopping his gambling activity. He still want to recover his losses or chase his winning but that is not worth because he will only lose more money. They can't research what will happen to them once they lose their money and don't understand that the sign to stop gambling is there and they must act fast before they gets another loss.

If they already become addicted, they will hard to realize and will not feel anything unless will say that they are still okay but the fact, they are not okay. They will not listen advice from people around them just because they will say they are busy with what they did and don't want to be disturbed. They will prioritize gambling as a primary thing they must do. Otherwise, they will leave the other people so they can continue playing gambling. It's hard to make addicted admitted his addiction but people around him must tell about the fact and not letting him alone because that make his life in danger.

Yes usually someone will realize their mistake when they are already in a situation of regret due to a situation full of bad effects of wrong gambling, actually yes they can avoid some of these negative effects if only at first they have the right and recommended approach to gambling, but unfortunately it is very difficult to have a good and recommended approach if they basically do not understand what gambling is really about, and most gamblers always have a goal to earn, they think that winning is easy to get when it is just an illusion that comes out of the brain due to the hope they put on the chances of winning.

It is a fact that if you gamble with the aim of earning then obviously in the end you will actually lose money as you said here and it's true, we can see that don't addicts even suffer a lot of problems in their lives? Of course, that means gambling can't make you rich, because after all it's not easy to always be able to get a lucky streak, and in addition there is no certainty to really always earn. The truth is that you can recover from addiction if you are basically able to achieve awareness and are willing to make changes, but few people are able to do so.

Addicted gamblers have no ability to recognize the severity of their situation due to the grip gambling has on their minds and behaviors. Addiction clouds their judgment that leads them to prioritize chasing losses or pursuing wins even when it's clear that it's not rational or beneficial. The cycle of losses and attempts to recover them can become all-consuming, blinding individuals to the reality of their situation.

They may ignore the warning signs to stop, such as mounting debts or strained relationships, because their focus is solely on the next opportunity to gamble. The denial that often accompanies addiction further complicates the situation. Those gamblers may refuse to acknowledge their addiction, brush off concerns raised by others, or isolate themselves to avoid interference with their gambling activities. In such cases, intervention from concerned friends and family members becomes crucial. While it may be challenging to break through the walls of denial and resistance, it would need to persist in offering support and guidance.

For online casinos, yeah, definitely we will have to make a research, or even just look for the advise of the community as to what online based crypto platform we are going to used so that we will not be scammed. But for traditional based, I don't think that there will be research needed. I mean majority of them that are competing are already established casinos already.

And as far as our budget and money management, definitely just play the money that you can afford to lose. Prioritized things in your life before getting your hand in gambling and just enjoy and don't be emotional so that you won't fall for the addiction.

This is a little on the nose and sometimes even a little unnecessary. The thing is that people know that researches are a good thing and are a must every time they venture out into uncharted territories that teaching or telling them that they should do so feels a little too redundant at this point. Pretty sure that those who are willing to really go the extra mile and be safe while they venture out in either investing or gambling are already doing it the first time they got told to research, and for the rest of the population who didn't, they either didn't need to or want to, either way telling them to do so is a major waste of effort and time.

Instead, tell people about more worthwhile must-know topics like perhaps how to manage their bankroll, how to min-max their wins and losses to favor them in the long run, instead of just telling them to research shit without even guiding them what to research about.

They loss their minds because of addiction in gambling so they can't recognize what they have done. Even if they use much money, that will not make them regret because they forget everything. All they want is to playing gambling and they will use their time to gambling all day long. Those who addicted to gambling slowly ruin their lives without having a chance to realize that they are change much.

When they addicted, they will not see the signs to stop because they focus on gambling which is become their priority in their life. And yes, they denied that they are addicted to gambling to every people who said that. They will not accept if someone say they are become addicted to gambling, even if that person is their family members. It's hard to cure the addicted person but their family members needs to work hard to show the fact to the addicted person.

Gambling addiction is not just about losing their minds, it even seems like they are losing their self-consciousness. In fact they do it consciously but are not affected at all, meaning that as long as they can enjoy it, they will continue like that because gambling is a shortcut for them to be successful instantly, they don't have a problem though. spend a lot but the expenditure is in the hope of winning more than the total loss later, and yes this can indeed destroy their life gradually because the more they spend money the more they will lose. And I am sure that even if they win it will not cover the losses they have experienced so far However, if he doesn't win, he could become stressed because he thinks too much about his gambling.

People who are addicted to gambling and have no intention of stopping will not be able to stop doing it, but if they can have the intention to stop then the signs will be visible where the family will help to heal and they will realize that they are truly addicted, not like before where they might not accept it. with the treatment of other people in advising him, so if he is aware of it he can accept help from other people to overcome his gambling addiction.

Gambling indeed can be a way to essentially throw away all the hardwork someone has put into earning some money. It's true that there are people who do earn a lot from gambling but at what expense?
We all know that you'll need to put yourself in a very compromising state and risk losing your money, sometimes your risk pays off and you win and sometimes you lose everything having nothing left thereby putting yourself in a very bad financial position. And the more people gamble, the more they're likely to lose because chances of losing are way higher than that of winning, and the further and deeper they'll keep walking into the hole.

Gambling should always be used as entertainment. Gambling should never be used outside of entertainment. Your friend may be considering this gambling as a means of earning money due to which your friend is constantly losing money but my advice to your friend would be to keep your eye on him at all times to ensure that he does not participate even if he participates in gambling. You tell him to use a certain budget for gambling. Moreover, he cannot be easily brought back from this severe addiction, he must be treated in such a friendly manner that he can always be cheerful and keep away from gambling. Also, if he is too old then he should get a spouse as an adult. If he can get a spouse, he may purify himself through his spouse.

Yes, financial literacy and budgeting can really helpful tools and can really come in handy when it comes to preventing overspending and gambling addiction. Without those two major tools amongst others, it can be really difficult for a gambler to control his impulses and make good financial decisions. It's very true that addiction can make an individual not to see the big picture and set plans and goals for the future. So as a gambler it's a must to posses those qualities of you must survive in the gambling world

All these you stated can only be possibly enforced if the gambler knows what he is doing and is fully prepared for gambling from the beginning. But sadly, it's not all gamblers who prepared for this, and the percentage of those who would be sensitive enough to first learn/investigate about gambling to know how it works (the good and bad sides of it) is so little, which is more reason why gamblers are often failing. Like I always said, knowing gambling will not exonerate the gambler from losing, but one certain thing is that it will reduce the loss and the negative effects on the gambler. This is simple because they already know what gambling is all about and the dangers and benefits therein. They can now guard against the danger and maximize the possible earning means through it.

Though I did not learn about gambling in the beginning, I am only fortunate because I am a careful and sensitive person by nature, so it was able to help me to tread carefully when I gamble and this is why I have not lost too much till today. I have always admitted that gambling can't be that means to make huge money often, if not, a lot of people would have been successful through it by now. This mindset has helped me to gamble carefully and calculatively, and if any gambler can emulate this as well, it will be fine. This is the essence of learning to understand it and how to wisely and effectively gamble without issues. This would have prompted the gamblers to possess their expertise, management and plans that will effectively not only increase their chance of winning but will always manage themselves (emotion) and their gambling portfolios rightly. Not to mention that if such gamblers lose, the losses won't be what wasn't expected and it will not be much in impact if the management is effective enough.

Gambling addiction mean losing their minds and can't think clear about what they do because they only knows one thing that will become their prioritize so they don't do the other things. They feels comfortable playing gambling and don't want to stop gambling even if they already loss much money. They will return to gambling and continue their gambling activity because they think that is what they should do. It's dangerous for them because they don't know how to stop their habits playing gambling and if no one know about their gambling activity, they will lose much money and will not have a chance to quit gambling. They will get deeper in gambling without realize that actually they have a serious problems that needs to resolved. But without having a clear minds, they will not realize that and will still playing gambling.

Those addicted will not stops playing gambling even for a while and sometimes I am curious where they got their money to continue playing gambling. It needs help from their family to make them aware from their bad habits so they can realize that they really needs to quit gambling. It needs admitted from the addicts so their family can start to help him and cure his addiction. If not, he will only stay in the gambling without knowing when he will realize everything.

It may be tough to persuade your buddy to seek therapy, but it is worth a try. If they are receptive to the concept, you may offer to assist them in finding a counsellor or therapist who specializes in gambling addiction. You might also suggest they join a support group such as Gamblers Anonymous. These groups can offer a secure, judgment-free environment for people to share their stories and receive support from others who understand what they're going through.

It's also crucial to remember to look for oneself in this scenario. It may be stressful and tiring to see someone close to you suffer with addiction. Make sure you're looking after your own emotional and physical health, and that you're creating limits around how much you're willing to help your friend.

In response to the op, it is actually a very shameful thing for someone to work hard for good 30 days, for the peanuts they pay this days as a salary, and end up wasting it all on gambling, should I say this is the highest level of stupidity or what? But the man can't be blamed, we can only blame his addiction to gambling, but this is only if gambling addiction was a person, or a human being, but as long as it's not, then we are solely responsible for every of our actions, whether the result have positive outcome for and on us, or negative outcome.

Researching is very important for those who wishes or wants to start gambling, for I believe that, if people atleast, spent some time to research on the effect of being a gambling addict, and reading stories of those who have been addicted to gambling and how their life turned out, or how they ended, then we will possibly have less number of people who are addicted to gambling, for every one will be extra careful and conscious of their gambling activities, in other not to over gamble, which could lead to addiction..

Symptoms include more than gambling. We must investigate the psychology. Even the wisest can fall for these traps. No one tells you that. Let's start with empathy. Blaming others is easy, but what motivates them? We get true answers there.

Next, solutions. Education - not boring education. Make it real, highlight the risks and repercussions of bad gambling. Share your difficult stories. They hit home like numbers never will. Discuss support systems - we must help people in need. Most importantly, provide choices. Fit ones. Activities that give actual, lasting success.

Acountability is crucial. We all set high standards for ourselves and must assist others do so. Living in control means more than avoiding gambling. Success comes from daily choices, not happenstance.

In fact, I don’t even understand how it’s possible to spend an entire salary on gambling, a person simply needs something to pay bills, and if he spends his entire salary on gambling, what will he eat? You need to plan your budget correctly, after receiving your salary you need to calculate your necessary expenses, see how much is left after that, set aside part of this money, and only a very small percentage of this amount can be allocated to gambling, this will be reasonable budget management, which will save a person from nonsense.

Before starting gambling, it's essential to conduct thorough research to understand the games, odds, and potential risks involved. This can help make more informed decisions and promote responsible gambling behaviour.

This is why it is always recommended to have a plan in gambling such as putting limits on the budget and time of involvement, because as we know that gambling has something that can make us addicted and also that can make us fall into unconsciousness and of course putting all the salary just to gamble is a very stupid mindset where they are more concerned with gambling which is full of uncertainty than their own lives.

In any case, management is always something that is very important and needed especially when it comes to finances which as you said that it is best that we should prioritize the necessities of life such as preparing and buying all the necessities of life for a certain period of time such as to cover the needs of life in the next month and also identify other things because maybe you still need something like buying clothes or paying bills, and after that if for example you still have some money that is not used then obviously you are then allowed to bet the money on gambling, but still do not put too large an amount or that means it is better to put an amount that you can afford to be responsible for if you end up losing, the point is that we must be able to be rational and wise in every decision, prioritize our lives.

In my opinion, people who spend their salaries only on gambling may have too much faith in gambling that they can get big wins that can change their economic situation drastically, so they dare to have big hopes and put aside their obvious basic needs that must be paid attention to. as you said, paying bills or providing food for their survival is no longer a priority when they have completely believed in gambling which will give them victory. and I think people like that seem to have problems with their thinking because they dare to risk their survival for things that are not certain or clear that will produce positive results in the future.

If they spend their salary just on gambling and don't pay attention to their needs that need to be taken care of then what will happen is the destruction of their lives. We should be able to manage our finances well, as you said, prioritizing the needs for survival and when there is money left over, then it can be used for things that are not considered necessary, such as doing habits that are said to be hobbies, such as perhaps gambling or fishing or others.

when it reaches the point that a person has become like that, it means that he has experienced a big win in gambling, because it is unlikely that a person can change their mind and spend their entire salary on gambling, maybe they see that gambling can always give the money they can't earn from working, but that's wrong because we know what can happen if you let yourself become that kind of gambler
.If they allow themselves to continue such work, their life  will really be ruined, it is even possible that you will not be able to report properly on your work because there is a good chance that your attention will be focused on gambling, but what will happen if you don't have a job? meaning you don't have any money for gambling because the money you earn from work depends only on gambling. Let's think carefully about what will help our life not what will destroy it, there are many who aspire to have a good life and job, let's not train them when an opportunity comes.

At first those who gamble usually do not gamble as an addiction, at first they gamble for fun, this gambling becomes their addiction one day and when they become addicted to gambling, they will continue to lose money. If they lose money once by gambling, they try to gamble a second time to get that money back and then keep losing money, causing them financial loss. That financial loss has to be borne by his family, so it is not right for anyone to gamble or lose power in such a fun way. Gambling is losing one cash due to gambling addiction and is not valuing his family so much his family is having problems with his self esteem so everyone should refrain from this kind of gambling so that they can be good with his family.

Those who initially gambled just had fun gambling. But after they gamble for some time, they become increasingly fond of gambling and that is what makes them addicted to gambling. Those who cannot control themselves will become increasingly addicted to gambling.

Those who gamble do not research gambling. They just gamble straight away and don't think much about the consequences or impacts. What they wanted at that time was to be able to experience the many gambling games that made them feel pleasure.

This makes many of them addicted to gambling and many do not even realize that they have become addicted to gambling. If they are still like that, they will become more and more immersed in gambling and will become more and more addicted to gambling.

That's really needed; don't just put money in right away, because maybe later it turns out that gambling is not legal when you put money in to gamble and play. That's why you always need to do your own research.

So that we can give value to the money we gamble, although we gamblers have different reasons why we play gambling. Because when we do this, we are only showing that we are responsible gamblers.

I liked the idea of the author of the topic that if you work, earn and play, but you have no progress, then you are no different from a person who has no income. Of course this is true. However, I would caution against hasty conclusions. Besides money, there is also such a thing as competence. And I believe that competence is probably much more important than money itself. If you have money but do not have the competence to save and increase it, then you will lose this money. And vice versa: if you don’t have money, but have competence, then money will appear. A person is a gambler, but at the same time gains experience. Over time, he will understand what needs to be done in order for the games to generate income, or he will understand that he should not do this. But such training often takes a long time.

Carrying out research on a specific game or match helps a gambler to make the right decisions, but the important aspect is looking into gambling generally. Players are expected to figure out that gambling isn't some sort of playground where people make a one-time payment and enjoy the fun for as long as they want. Gambling requires regular wagering force for a player to enjoy the game. However, endangering our finances for the sake of gambling also is a wrong move. That's not a good gambling habit. Players should be careful regarding how they spend money, gambling.

The addict in the story isn't doing the right thing, he's only bothered about how to better his gambling lifestyle. And make a huge amount of money. Although he works hard in his business, gambling doesn't affect his productivity, but taking things gradually is quite important. He works a whole day and consumes most of his energy for the purpose of gambling alone. Life shouldn't be lived partly; we must enjoy it as a whole. Gambling is not the only fun activity on earth. Players need to find out other events that could make them happy and help in boosting their communication skills. So, while the research should be on responsible gambling, the gambler also needs to look out for places to hang out with friends after having enough fun in gambling.

That's the obvious thing that you should do, I mean in any aspect of your life, you should do research on things before you do something about it so you don't fuck it up, ignorance may be a bliss but it shouldn't become your personality, that's just a sad thing if that's the case. A lot of things would've been resolved easily or mistakes prevented if our ignorance isn't there to hinder us. Gamblers would also be more happier with their life if they've done their research on the games before trying that gambling game that they have no clue how it works.

It's true, when we are going to do something, we hope to consider it first so that the results are not disappointing. What you said is true, this is not only in gambling but in any aspect of life, this needs to be paid attention to, especially if the thing you are doing is related to With money, of course we have to do our best, including considering the actions we will take. because of course things related to money definitely want to end in profit, not loss. Therefore, we should be able to consider what we will do instead of getting disappointing results.
Losses or mistakes can actually still be prevented if we consider everything well, but when it comes to gambling, many people don't consider their actions, so it disappoints them and also makes them emotional about what happens as a result of actions they don't consider. As much as possible we have to do our best, because it is impossible for anyone to want bad results, of course everyone wants positive results with what they do, especially things that involve money or profits.

Many people are at this level, no progress even when they are consistent in making resources available for gambling. Having a source of income is just the first part in preparing for gambling, one of the most important requirement though. This stage is supposed to be followed by finding out the type of gambles that suit ones personality, I mean the type of gambling that one can participate in that present better opportunity to win and make progress. Many gamblers do not do this, rather they jump from one gamble to the other, today they play dice, tomorrow they are on slots and next day another. They keep jumping from one gamble to the other upon the slightest loss without trying to master one. 

Like you already said, he is battling gambling addiction, and he can not stop it easily without making the right efforts to really stop either through counseling or just any means that works.

We have to be able to see and confirm whether the site we are playing on is a trusted site or a fraudulent site, because there are so many fraudulent sites now that ultimately harm gamblers. We also have to make sure we know the terms and conditions that apply on the site, don't let us not know because we might lose money or even our account because we violate the terms and conditions they apply. Gamblers must be aware of things like this, lest they just gamble without paying attention to things that look simple, but in reality are very important.

Whatever it is, we have to be responsible with the gambling we do, don't let us do something we shouldn't do, such as chasing losses or hoping to win large amounts, because that will get us into trouble later. We have to know what is the basis for our gambling, if our initial goal is wrong then it is possible that we will also get things we don't want to get in the future.

It is true, the victory obtained in gambling can make us lulled so that it makes us continue gambling. Even with repeated defeats, it will not be able to stop gambling. When getting a win at gambling it can clearly make us addicted to continuing to gamble again. It is possible that when this happens it can make us spend a lot of money to return to pursuing gambling wins. The wrong thinking is indeed when assuming gambling can provide victory or money with certainty, such thinking will only trap us in a more detrimental cycle.

Indeed, gambling can divert our focus, when we gamble during working hours, for example, the possibility that will happen is that we will only focus on the gambling that is done. Especially if the gambling that is done is giving a win or the game is good then it can make us stay longer in gambling. What must be remembered is that the impact of gambling is very bad, so before gambling we must be able to think about the things that will happen in the future if we make a mistake. If you really want to gamble, hopefully we are ready for everything that will happen.

I agree with you when you say that when you play and win you want to repeat the feat, I think it is something very natural in any human being, we can not always decipher the way to play and win in a casino, sometimes it is just the luck factor that left us the game at that time , for now Things are much clearer that a person like this does not have that risk of losing often and try to recover, In this aspect, one of the things to do when playing is to try to see how you can play without losing money and making a more intelligent game, and what I have discovered so far is to imitate the money to play, just play with the money willing to lose and that's it, accepting the Results whatever they are, is the best I can say, because it is logical and almost instinctive that we always Want to win.

Would really be a normal approach and normal reaction of a human being when it comes to the moment or time that you would really be doing gambling and able to experiencing winnings on which it would really be just that normal you would be thinking that you could really be able to do it even more if you do continue to play up even more but we do know on whats the reality of this world when it comes to this manner
on which we know that gambling do purely relies on luck and we do know that we cant really be lucky anytime on which it would really be just that right that you should really know on what you should gonna do next.
Making up some research? Not really necessary because your actual experience would really be the ones who would really be leading you up to do on whats next and this is something a normal approach.

Gambling is something for fun and you wont really be that messing up yourself if you are really that knowledgeable on the things that you've been dealing with then you wont really be seeing
any problems into this regard.

That's right, I agree with you that research should always play a role in whatever you do in life, not only for gambling involvement issues but identifying something along with researching applies to many other things in life, this will be the basis of knowledge that will ultimately make you make the decision that you think is right.

Ignorance is always a major factor for results that are often not what we want, but we can prevent it by doing research first by researching or identifying something you want to do, and if it's gambling then the only thing you can do is research and find out about the rules in the casino especially about the restrictions on the bulletin board so that you avoid problems that should not have happened when you know about it, And this research will not have anything to do with the problem of the results of gambling about winning and losing, because anyone will never know about what makes them win and what makes them lose, in the end it always refers to your luck.

The problem now is if gamblers will remember to do this. If am not mistaken,  it is hard to see a gambler that is trying to make research to know more about gambling before starting to play gambling.  Most of the gamblers just go into gambling in haste to make money quick from gambling, and some people are just so unlucky to know about gambling,  and they put all their interests to make money so quick and unknowingly to them they become addicted to gambling   if every gambler can remember to make research before playing gambling it will really help in reducing the amount of losing money,  it will help people from becoming addicted to gambling.  Most gamblers have the mindset that their is no need making research before playing gambling.

You are right basically those who gamble are first of all funny boys who become addicted to gambling in such a way that they never even realize how they are becoming addicted to gambling. People who once become addicted to gambling can't get out of gambling easily. If they lose cash once they have the addiction that I have to get that money back. To get that money back, they lose twice as much. By gambling, it can be seen that they can't take the stress anymore. Many people commit suicide without thinking about their family. Therefore, everyone should be against this kind of gambling addiction so that everyone can be well.

It all goes to the idea of being responsible before and after we gamble. Those gamblers that gambles without a source of income are just putting themselves on the wrong turn.

They are ones digging their own holes as they gamble, they are producing new problems to themselves if they are not careful.

We have been hearing stories that results into tragedies in result of their careless as a gambler.

The only thing I know that will happen is that you can divert his brain into cryptocurrency bitcoin. One thing that keeps people stagnant is developing a mindset that don't allow them explore other things of life. I was once in a state where I feel like gambling is the only legit way to become rich until I discovered other ways. If your friend ls educated, you only need to introduce him to the forum for him to learn by him self. When he is always coming to this place to learn everyday at least he would do better than before because he will have many opinions of different people, from there he will gradually quit what he does or reduce the rate.

You are very correct, some gamblers gamble based on the knowledge they got orally from probably experienced gamblers, they don't gamble with knowledge gotten from research about gambling, they actually don't even research in some cases, they just use their experience probably from a former gambling site or there about to gamble and they will definitely feel they are good that way. If you must gamble without experience or knowledge as you should then you are definitely going to be doing more of a risk form of gambling because you may not have all the knowledge needed so you just keep trying whatever it is you think you can to probably make bets.

Although there's never a point you would get to and think you have been able to acquire all the knowledge needed to gamble, you can just start with the few knowledge you have got and definitely get to further learn as you proceed gambling.

I get that point having enough knowledge for sure before even starting to gamble but in my opinion, there was some contradictions on it, if you already know it then you know that its going to be better to not gambling at all, or else there was going to be no problem if you are just doing it for entertainment, if your main goal was to earn money then you just don't know what you are doing, ended up like most of the gamblers end up losing a huge amount.

I've said it to a lot of posts and I think the best thing that we could give here is just giving some advice to some people who are addicted to gambling, I mean there was really no way around it since it is his own decision doing this kind of things on her life, even though we say that we should on the use or gamble a certain amount that we can afford to lose it wouldn't really going to matter if he's not willing to do that, or he doesn't apply it to his life.

If you are going to ask me an addict is not going to change his life that easily he we are just going to give him advice like just saying to him to change, it's going to be a long process for sure but it all needs to start with him, Its necessary that he wants to change by himself because if he just doesn't want to change there was no way that he is actually going to change if he doesn't want to. We just needed him to realize it by himself if he realized that he could slowly start making some progress on changing and removing his addiction on gambling.

It's true, if they don't have enough income and they think gambling can help them financially then they are just putting themselves in a problem zone. because if they gamble to make money, they can actually trap themselves with wrong thoughts, they will not be able to accept the losses that will inevitably occur with the gambling they do. They are likely to get emotional when their gambling ends in defeat and in the end it only puts them in trouble.
Indeed, there have been many stories or cases that have occurred due to excessive gambling, some have even lost their lives because they could not accept excessive pressure due to their own actions, and that is an irresponsible action that must be remembered so that we do not do the same thing. . Mistakes or losses that occur are also due to their own careless actions, especially when emotions take over, what will happen is a big loss.

For some people who cannot get rid of their addiction to gambling, they should be able to control themselves so they can stop for a moment to get rid of their addiction to it. Because for those who are not too addicted to gambling, they can definitely control themselves with it even though at certain times they still gamble quite comfortably without having a deep feeling of addiction. So being too addicted to something is sometimes not good, especially if it always involves quite a large amount of money without feeling satisfied.

The temptation of gambling is strong, especially when we win. When this happens, it is very clear that the seduction and temptation that is invisible to the eye is definitely there, we will definitely think about continuing gambling again to get another win that is even greater than what we have already obtained. It's just that things like that are usually more likely to end in disappointing defeat because the factors and portion of luck won't last long, and we don't even know for a few seconds whether luck is still there or not. We just know that luck won't last. long.

When we win and continue gambling, the risk of losing money is definitely greater because if we continue gambling, there is a possibility that we will place a bigger bet because we think we have won with the previous bet amount. However, what is certain to happen is that we have to be able to accept defeat or disappointment, even if the winnings we have obtained are lost and all of them are lost, of course it is annoying but in reality, we accept the results of the gambling we do. Don't let us think too much about the victory that has been lost because maybe if we worry about the victory that has been lost, it can actually make us feel stressed.

An addict will not be able to leave his habit easily.
They will keep trying to play and expect to get the jackpot of any game of gambling.

Especially when talking about research, then an addict will not do this way because they do not want to get into gambling for too long.
It would be very risky to have to involve large enough money just for gambling that cannot be controlled, because no matter how much money it will only lose.
Seeing some of my friends who are too gambling addicts, without research, without management it only makes it even more devastated.

It should only happen when gamblers are chasing their losses because their minds are clouded by anger and revenge and they want their money back so bad that they will be careless with their decisions.
I will not be a hypocrite to say that I have never been in that position, I have been but when you are on that point you just don't care anymore and so analysis will be forgotten.

But those who are just starting their day should not have the same ending. Analysis is a must especially when it is about sports. We must increase our chances of winning or else we are just betting blindly and I don't think that is wise because it will just be a waste of money and we are only donating our money to gambling sites or bookies.

That's why they been called as addict since they are been so hooked up on gambling and there are times that they only listen on their selves then usually ignore those suggestions given by people. Also they would keep trying to play since they always think about gambling and also having a fantasy that one day they became so rich when they win a lot of money in gambling.

So its really good for us to have proper discipline and always have proper planning especially on the amount you bring on the casino since if you bring a lot there for sure you might always think to revenge while you are in losing streak since you are confident since there are still balance left in your wallet. So to avoid getting a devastated loss much better to bring a small amount only and have good strategy or plans on how to deal with gambling activities in controlled manner.

Those who addicted to gambling must realize about their addiction and must search for the helps from the other people immediately. But many people who addicted to gambling can't realize about their addiction and will say that they don't have addiction so they thinks that they still normal like other people. That's why people around addicted to gambling must supervise and watch their family who doesn't act usual. It's a lesson to those who wants to playing gambling to make sure that they can have self control to hold themselves for not playing gambling excessively. If they can learn more about self control, that will be the way to prevents from losing money because of playing gambling excessively.

No matter how much any person gambles, sooner or later they will lose. I understand that there are many people who are lucky all the time, but this will only strengthen their self-confidence, which will later be destroyed.

I watched an interview with a guy who was able to increase his deposit from 50 thousand to 2 million at the casino. And do you know what he's doing now? He puts the tiles to order. Because he was just lucky, and instead of withdrawing money, having experienced such incredible luck, he played and played until he lost everything. At the same time, he never withdrew money from the casino.
This is terrible, and I advise the author of the topic to tell this story to his friend, who is in question in his post.

Speaking of revenge, it even happened to myself when playing Slots and some football betting.
It was good at first, but a few losing streaks made my balance run low and the plan to get revenge by entering 2x of my total losses was done,
but what happened later it only ended in more losses.

I can't control when losses always come and always want to play until I win.
Even the little balance I spent to keep playing, it was a bad experience for me,
but it could be a good lesson not to take stupid acts of revenge.

Well, there is something that I am not talking about, it is experience, when there is experience in a game it is very good what we have beforehand because obviously things are clear for any player, sometimes investigations fill us with information, we must have a lot of information I always assume that it is not compatible with us, but despite everything I am someone who likes to explore, see the ways to play and win, some strategies are very good but I consider that one accompanied by experience can give good results, of course it is what I have done and so far it has worked for me, because only experience helps a lot, but always other opinions, other strategies help us strengthen our knowledge, I say something, the more you know something the more good and much better because I believe that The information is good as long as it is used in moderation, we must remember that in a casino what is most at risk is money, it is not just anything.

In my opinion, this is a normal thing, because when the gambling that is done ends in defeat then there is a possibility that the desire to gamble will return to those of us who want to recover losses or chase wins, in fact I think there are more than 2x the total losses that have occurred. because they are already annoyed so they want to bet at the same time by putting in a bigger amount of money too, because they are really annoyed with the streak of losses that occur so they have their own grudges and do big risk gambling such as putting in more money and placing bigger bets too. .

What you say is correct, even if we have a grudge against gambling, it will only make us lose more money because with whatever and whatever there is, there is no clear guarantee that we can win at the gambling we do, even if we use a large betting amount, it is not a guarantee either. Likewise, using a small betting amount will not guarantee that we can win with certainty. We must be able to see and be aware that the chances of losing that gamblers have are very large, while the chances of winning are small.

Your friend has experienced a sad fate. It's very sad when all your hard work is spent on gambling. I don't know whether your friend has a family or not. Gambling addiction has completely ruined his life. The solution I can give is to try inviting your friends to do some outdoor activities and sports. You can invite him to play basketball or football. You can also invite him to play video games. Apart from that, if you don't want to save the money, you can ask your friend to make a deposit at the bank. It's best to keep most of your money in deposits and take long term ones. Leave only a small portion for daily needs. This is a hard way but Hopefully it will work for him.

He should learn how to handle his money well. He can start by limiting his budget in gambling. Take only few percentage on his salary. He can still even gamble with small amount of set budget. Atleast, this way, it will not hurt much his budget or salary. He can control his finances well. He can also get saving account to put his money. He can also try taking break from gambling. Try to make him realize what he is facing right know to enlighten himself. If you think these cannot help him, or he cannot help himself, then it's much better for him to seek professional help.

Losing is a part of gambling, every gambler will lose and also win, if you do your research you'll notice that gambling can't be a reliable source of making money. What makes you successful at gambling is when you have more wins than you're losing and not when you're not losing. If you're not losing some bets, it should be a concern for you so it doesn't get into your mindset that you can't lose as it'll make you to be betting with high stake and when you'll lose it'll be difficult to get over the lost.

Doing research before you start gambling is good as it'll make you to be aware of some things that you should avoid while gambling as gambling has so many things that you can do wrongly and it'll make you change from enjoining yourself when gambling to fighting addiction. One of the things to avoid is chasing your losses, most gamblers still struggle with chasing losses as they don't like to lose.

Not many people wants to learn how to handle their money well because if that person getting inside gambling, he will forget about everything needs to do in gambling. Playing gambling can makes him tempts to comes back over and over until his money is gone while he will not realize about that. Limiting his budget in gambling is the important things that he can do to prevent the big lose and spends much money in gambling. If he can do that, he will not lose much money and only use the money he can afford. He can handle his finances well while he will allocate some money  to playing gambling and always remember about his rules while playing gambling. It's better if he can research what he needs to do to playing gambling so he can be aware about the risks.

Yes, I think we have all experienced that Feeling, the more we play and win something it will tell us that we are lucky and that we should continue playing to get more money, so of course with these types of things we must be careful not to do, because We are being people who can take advantage of our luck and you should not abuse our luck, that is not good, because obviously it will cause things that are unpleasant to us like losing money, sometimes our emotions make us bet and bet, that is something obvious, we are people normal, natural that we always seek to do things better, but we have to know that the important thing in this is not to lose control, perhaps things can happen like losing money , and above all control our money, if we control our money it is much better to do so , don't get Carried away by Emotions.

When you learn gambling from some research on how to gamble to remain winning and how to apply some strategies to stop gamble whenever you are losing in the gambling center, I guess it will be difficult for you to regret why you are a gambler because you have acquired the skills of gambling.

  If you are into games betting, it will be good to know all the teams very well and their performance in their various competitions so that whenever you want to play your bet you will play for the one that will make you to win at the end of the game.

at least a novice gambler should know that he or she may lose their money in betting. because every novice gambler's thinking is to make money from gambling, not to get pleasure from the game.
Determining the allocation of funds is indeed important. it limits every gambler from getting involved in an addiction that could destroy his finances.
many beginners in gambling go crazy because they can't control themselves.

Gamblers, especially the inexperienced ones are the ones that mostly falls into this unbreakable cycle, they always have this terrible misconception about gambly, always believe that gambling is an opportunity to make money and multiply their fortune, and then they pay blind eyes and deaf ears to every other things, like the dangers associated with gambling. This is why it's very important for gamblers (both old and new) to acquire the right knowledge about gambling, because this will help them know exactly how to manage their risks and how to make more rational and responsible decisions when gambling to avoid putting themselves into financial problems that'll be difficult for th to come out of.
