I want to ask those of you who have a hard addiction experience in gambling and then you can treat it yourself, and today still playing gambling but with the principle of good management and financial management in gambling.
I want to know how you break away from the addiction, you can mention the actions taken or what kind of steps? And how long do you need time to break away from the addiction that has been experienced?

"I want to find out because I think your experience in the case as I mentioned will be useful for readers, especially for me personally"

If I'm not mistaken there are threads on the same subject but to still answer your question, I once had a hard time managing my gambling habits. I was before spending $3k four times a week (which is a huge amount for me), not including extra bets on remaining days of the week. What made me realize things is when I quit my job back then. Money became more of a struggle which knocked me on my feet. Realization pushed me to manage my finances since then, and also made me see how hard it is to earn money and why it is not advisable to spend that much in gambling. Quite of a cliché story but for sure many of us came to that realization.

Nowadays I am limiting my weekly budget in gambling to $500 'coz this is the amount I can afford losing in exchange for chances and entertainment.

Some people will says that gambling is a good way of earning but in my opinion gambling is a bad addiction and addiction does not go easily. A gambler have to minimize the timing for gambling, minimize the money for gambling and then he should overcome it by involving just one time in a week.

I think if a person is so busy in gambling that he initiate selling of whole things to utilize the amount in gambling then getting rid of such habit will takes too long time and gambler himself has no idea that what is bad or good for him because he is in continues trying of getting more money so in such greed he loss his each and everything even his own value in a society.

I have never been addicted to gambling, but I did come close to becoming one. The first thing I did when I almost lost control in gambling was to stop the gambling activities that I was doing for quite a long time, up to several days. I need to do this to calm myself and control my emotions. and I will return to gambling once my emotions are controlled.

There is another thing that I do, namely by asking someone to accompany me to play. so that when I lose control, then someone will try to revive me.

And I'm a bit pessimistic if someone who is already heavily addicted to gambling, can wake up in a short period of time. They will realize their bad behavior when they have lost everything, including money and the people closest to them.

I was once an addicted gambler but today am no more as I gamble responsibly. How I was able to overcome my addiction was that I quitted gambling for a long period of time,and this made be not to see and understand that gambling is not a means of making profit but for entertainment.

What I do presently,before I went back to gambling was to come up how I can gamble responsibly. I do set out a weekly gambling budget for my gambling activities so that when I exhaust the money,I stop gambling the the next week. Another thing is that I also have a time set aside for gambling so that when my time is up,I stop gambling even though,I am winning or at loss. See gambling as fun and only use money that you can avoid to loss to gamble.

I don't think that any body that was bale to break away from addiction will still be interested to gamble because we all know that with that, it will trigger the previous addiction and bring the urge back to life. Those people that had suffered from gambling addiction are always far away from gambling activities because that is the only way the spirit of gambling can locate it way back to them. People that escape addiction are mostly seen having lost of interest in any gambling activities because that is the best way to keep themselves safe from it.

Almost there but the realization that you're too addicted on it and the other things you do were already affected will make you avoid it and limit your gambling time.

And if you're experiencing that but you're also looking for solutions, it's best for you to assess yourself and see to it that you're not yet the type of being addicted.

Just admit that you're losing and you're lightly accepting it. Because the ones that becomes addicted are the ones that's have a hard time accepting the reality.

How pathetic your story but from what I can grab you didn't go through any form of processes or counseling to get ride of the habit of spending extravagantly on gambling, it was the condition of things after you had quited your job that led to your realization.

I therefore think that some people are addicted to spending much on Gambling more than they are supposed to all because they have the money to fund the habit. Take that source from them and they will hit the hard rock and come to a realization of setting budget for their gambling lifestyle. Glad to extract this idea from your story.

What you ask is very good, but you also have to take into consideration if that person has a personality similar to that of the person who has the problem, then this type of advice can be very good, however I would say that the person who has the gambling addiction is due to which games were the ones you preferred, or if it is from gambling addiction but in sports betting, then whatever the addiction is, the advice is better, but to treat the addiction it is a lie that They have to tell him to stop playing, that's impossible, so an addiction is not left, I would think that the best thing is for the addict to continue playing, but with shorter periods of time, that is, if the player plays 2 hours, Reduce it to 1 hour, then after 2 or 3 days it is reduced to half an hour, this to contain the impulses that one has regarding the game of rest, I think it can be reduced even to 10-5 minutes and that the player does not feel the strong impulse to be playing, to be involved in the game, with sports betting I think it would be a little more difficult, because any sport will want to bet, so these types of things are what have to be seen as how you can reduce the number of bets.

But the players who have come out of their addiction is not completely, perhaps they have more control over their actions, and apart from everything, they can have several options to beat the addiction, a way that they see is very good, is that the person dedicates himself to doing physical activities, or going out, even going out to the movies, going to places where he could have fun without spending so much money, bowling, and if he can change to a sport like cycling, swimming, soccer, it's much better, since the brain focuses on the fact that the body should improve, it could be that they place bets, the one who loses pays for the beers, or something like that, I wouldn't stop betting, but I wouldn't spend that much money either, the prbelma of an addict is that he spends money very quickly and it is not the idea, it has to be preserved.

Playing gambling wont really be that bad but it would really be entirely be depending on how things should really be moderated because on the time that you are really that spending on the money which arent supposed to be

spent then this is an indicative sign that you are already that addicted to gambling which is really that bad. This is the main thing that you should really be avoiding on the time that you do gamble is on which you shouldn't really be that letting yourself that addicted. Play on the amount which you can afford to lose and never ever consider on chasing up your losses or making gambling as your source of income because having these kind of motives or intents would really be a catalyst for you to play even more until you do run down flat on which it is really that very a common scenario.

I myself, cant be considered going into a point on being an addicted gambler but cant really deny that there are really moments which i do chase out my losses and bust up everything in the end.
On that time then i do make out myself some self realizations and telling to myself that i shouldn't really do that in next time because it would really be bringing out that devastation on your bankroll.

Overcoming a gambling addiction can be really hard. It requires determination and patience to change. It may take some time, but in the end you'll feel better and gradually break free from it.

Attempting to quit your hard addiction on your own can be extremely difficult, but seeking help from others or consulting a doctor can in my opinion make the process much smoother and more effective, as one of my friend was really addicted to gambling but after the help he got from others he left gambling for good and now his life is a way much better.

Online gambling addiction is different from the physical gambling addiction these days. It will be much harder to quit since the temptation is just right there on the phone you use every day. Diverting attention should be a solution, get busy, get a job and a wife, and have 3 kids. Responsibilities changes people completely. Or live somewhere else where there is no internet.  ;D

Can't call it an addiction but it's somewhat kind of and it happened when I was just a teen playing cards at home and in a friend's garage. When they stopped, we all stopped. Though I missed playing, I can't force friends to play with me anymore.

I won't speak for myself, but as a person who has studied gambling and gambling addiction:


1. Stop Blaming Yourself: Continual self-blame can exacerbate feelings of guilt after a relapse. Remember, everyone makes mistakes. If you fall back into old habits, simply refocus on your original goal without added drama.

2. Rationalize and Monitor Your Activity: Keep a detailed record of all your gambling actions. Understand that there's no such thing as "lucky streaks." We can't predict random outcomes, regardless of any fake mathematical models full of data we might believe in (reality is much complex and those models are garbage). The house always win.

3. Limit Your Exposure to Risk: For example, bring limited cash, don't bring a credit card when you gamble. Also, consider unsubscribing from online gambling platforms (autobanned if possible).

4. Be Cautious in Emotionally Fragile States: Especially when you're seeking a dopamine boost. This is particularly important after significant losses, as it's been proven that our perception of risk diminishes, potentially leading to even greater losses in a short period.

First of all, it is important to remember that every gambling addict has a different case in how they deal with their addiction problems. One more thing, if someone has recovered from his addiction, he will automatically stop and will not play it again. let's take an example in the case of smoking, someone who is addicted to smoking will stop when he has completely recovered from his addiction. Likewise with gambling, although in the case of gambling it is a little more complicated and complex than cigarette addiction.

So okay, I'll tell you a little story from my personal experience. In short, I have known gambling from a young age, starting with traditional gambling, then moving to land casinos and now I am involved in online gambling. In the past, I gambled uncontrollably even though I experienced many losses and sacrificed to fulfill my gambling passion. I experienced a phase where the lowest point in life, I think there are many who experienced something similar to my experience. Then, did I stop gambling, for some time yes, but in fact I got involved in gambling again. whether I have recovered from my addiction, I can confirm not 100%.
I don't know how long it will take me to be at peace with myself, but throughout my experience, I have learned many lessons that I can learn. believe me there is no better theory than that we are in control of ourselves, that is, we are the ones who control what we do. I mean, you have complete control over yourself. it's just that the problem is, in the phase when we gamble, even with the idea of ​​having fun. where we lose, even with money that is ready to be lost. in fact, our emotions are already involved in it. dopamine, endorphins, adrenaline, satisfaction, anger, are triggers for us to be compelled to make deposits again. At this point there are two consequences, winning or losing. the problem is, we will not stop in the future until the money we bet runs out. usually, after that we will regret it. not because winning will stop us from gambling, but because of losing. I mean, after the money in our account runs out.

Then what is the solution, for me, now gambling is a means of entertainment, nothing more. If you lose today, there is another day to have fun again without having to chase losses. Remember, it is very important to involve understanding, experience and responsibility. If you can do that, you will only gamble with the idea of ​​having fun regardless of winning or losing. end it when it's no longer fun. I think it's too long what I said, hope it helps you.

It will be good to clarify that solutions to problems are relative and might not work in all cases. What I did might be helpful to me but it might not work for you. Privacy is important so people might not tell you about their experiences but I think some basic steps will help addicts break free. Some of these points are from personal experience.

1. You should accept that you are an addict and confirm that it is affecting you negatively.

2. Decide to quit and be willing to pay the price.

3. Have a gambling plan and don't ever exceed your budget.

4. Stay away from people or situations that trigger the urge to game uncontrollably.

5. If you can't control yourself, seek help from experienced gamers or a gambling psychologist.

Problem share is problem solve do op your problem will be solved and whoever that is facing the same problem with the op. Op you tried for bringing this to the public for advise. And indirectly you need advice and guidance to quit gambling, by the way it is not easy to quit gambling if you are the addicted type but that is not withstanding, if you really want leave gambling, the first step to take is to pray to God to stop you from gambling and that should be every day. The the next thing to do is to busy yourself with other activities more than gambling. It will be very hard for a gambling addict to manage funds very well in his house unless he will be locking the money instant either online Banking app or you loan it out instantly.

If you know that you are not good in management of funds then give to it your partner who is good to manage funds and you don't have to keep the money under your custody. And the most important thing you have to do is self discipline. You have to discipline yourself so that you won't spend esses on gambling. You can set a specific amount of money to gamble every day and once those ones finish, you stop gambling for the day. Discipline yourself.

I have never been addicted to gambling but I have stayed and with someone who was addicted to gambling and if you compare his current state to what he was back then there have been a huge difference.

One of the things he did back then was to make up his to stop gambling and as soon as he made up his mind he moved to the next step which was to reduce his bank roll, from spend over $200 monthly on gambling he reduced it to $80 and from there lower till he gain controlled over it and during the time he cut off the money he normally spends on his account he then started doing some other things since his bank roll won’t be able to keep him in a long session, and if he should remain idle he’ll surely return back to his normal act.

It might sound easy but trust me it isn’t, I remember him complaining about going back to his account that all he was ding was only a waste of time. But with encouragement he managed to improve himself.

One thing I know about gambling is that there is a spirit controlling it,and it is that spirit that makes it difficult for gamblers to leave when they are losing,and greed makes them still continue playing when they are winning.If people were able to go when they've won,or when they lose,then people woundnt have had emotional trauma.The only people who can gamble responsibly are those people who don't aim at gaining too much from gambling,they gamble just to catch fun because they don't want to be addicted to it.
I have set budget for gambling several times and I will still violate it because of the spirit attached to it,ones you've started,you will find it very difficult to stop it.

Not all the gamblers are gambling addicts,only few people are gambling addicts due to their innocence behaviour.They will start to recover the loss money by repeating the game till the money was recovered.The money management is important one in the gambling to get not addicted,same money management is important one.When you start to gamble you should on your money holding time and needed time.In the rest of time,you should engage yourself into the process which develops you to next level.If you want to build your business to next level,you can easily get away from gambling addiction using your self control.

The thing about gambling addiction is that you don't know it's happening until you see the aftermath. With that being said, here's some of the things that I would like to impart should you fall down the spiral of gambling addiction. First off, you shouldn't just assess yourself. If you're already having doubts over your gambling (you think you're slowly succumbing to gambling addiction), most likely you are already, in which case you should actually quit outright. No slow down from gambling and all that stuff, just straight up quitting. Quit for a significant amount of time, until such a time where you are positive you're cured of the impulse to gamble. After which, you should instill discipline strictly. Create a plan and stick to it. Do not make any form of excuses upon yourself or whatever, just follow through with it. Over time this will create a habit that you will follow through.

Addiction to gambling is not easy to break away from, and anybody that has successfully broken free from it did not do so so easily.

 It is rare to see someone who has fought so hard to break addiction from gambling and then after that the person goes back to say they want to start gambling normally.

It is risky and dangerous because, if you continue gambling after defeating addiction, it is always easier to have a relapse and return to undisciplined gambling if not careful.

You break away properly by staying away from it, and for the time to break away from addiction, it varies from person to person.

Firstly, you need to build the principle of contentment - let that be guaranteed with whatever means you'd wanna try out... Secondly, you'll have to suppress the frequency of gambling urge - that way, you're ultimately in full control of your desires at every point in time.
Thirdly, if the urge is deep - do away with every facility that's gonna connect you to any casino's sever - clear tabs, uninstall apps and caches.
Lastly, don't ever feel entitled to any form of winnings from any casino - for the very fact that peeps are still winning big innit... A time will come you won't even need to gamble anymore.

Not really a hard experience, but more on the minor side I suppose. I think why I didn't experience being that addicted to gambling in the first place is due to the habits I have, which was also the reason I was able to move one quickly from my every now and then addictive impulses. I play a lot of games, I also have a few hobbies like drawing, painting, jogging and a bit minor but also sports. I do these lot very actively, and I believe it was because of that that gambling had a really small space in my mind most of the time, because I think of what to do with the others instead. It takes my mind away from it and makes me think of gambling as something small.

So yea, go out and experience other things, find out new hobbies and stuff like that. In the long run it can be a big help. If you can't, then even simply walking outside, taking in that fresh air and thinking about things can help clear your mind a lot.

Someone who is already heavily addicted to gambling sometimes they themselves are not aware that they are already among those who experience severe gambling addiction disorder. All they feel is a very strong urge or desire to gamble without thinking about the negative effects.
Most of the people who are around the addict are aware and feel the bad effects that someone has experienced gambling addiction.
If someone has experienced a severe gambling addiction, there are two possibilities that will happen to him.
The first is that he has no family or people who still care about him and he is completely broke, has debts piled up everywhere and has nothing left of his wealth.
The second is that someone has family or people around him who still care about him and do various ways ranging from therapy and restrictions to keep him away from his gambling habit.
In essence, someone who is addicted to heavy gambling cannot easily treat himself but must have family or close people who support him and in my opinion must keep the person away from the place where he is gambling and provide a new, more positive environment and activity.

Good question up for discussion. I haven't been addicted to gambling because I have been able to take takes when I think that my next gambling session is all I think about. I have a strategy for financial management in gambling. I call it the 321 approach. I split whatever income I receive in half. I save of 40%. 3 percent goes into my daily needs. 2 percent is my emergency funds for unforeseen circumstances and 1% is for gambling. I do not go above the 1%. It helps me to be financially prudent. I have been doing this since the past 1 year now and it has been very helpful.



Budgeting is the first step to break free from gambling addiction. Having someone be in charge of your finance is a step I highly recommend.

No choice but to deal with yourselves. There's no specific thing that keeps us still in responsible act even though we are always gambling.

Being always disciplined in gambling might be tough to do for you but there's no other person who can help you but "ONLY YOU". What's your goal and want to achieve? Stay away from gambling? Minimizing your gambling activity? Taking a break from gambling? Tell us specifically.

The fact that you able to post here at the gambling section about your concern, I'm sure you already know what to do but not just proceeding yet.

Some gamblers are able to break into gambling addiction due to sheer strong will.  I believe these people are yet to be deeply addicted to gambling.  They are able to breakfree themselves because they had realized it sooner that they need to avoid too much engagement in gambling and they should divert their focus to other useful things in order to eat up time and avoid gambling.

For those who are deeply trapped in gambling addiction, help from third-party medical professional is needed and support and understanding from the family plays a huge role.

I wasn't addicted but I was consistent in gambling every week with the same amount. You might consider that as addiction but I don't view it that way. For me, the first step in curbing this activity and moving away from gambling is recognizing that what you're doing is not okay. I assure you, it takes a lot of convincing yourself that what you do is something out of the ordinary and must be stopped. It took me a while to break free from my scheduled gambling habits and patterns, but I did it anyway.ß

Actually money is the main reason why majority stops or aid their addiction since if you don't have anything to spend and you life became miserable for sure realize all the wrong deeds you do then try to correct it. I experience this so better set some amount you can afford to gamble since by this way we can limit ourselves to became more greedy and by this little discipline we do everyday for sure we get used to it and avoid gamble excessively.

I mentioned this on older threads, but here's mine. I would spend most of my time doing other activities and sometimes chill together with my friends until I stopped having thoughts about gambling. I can't remember exactly how long it took me to break the pattern, but i'd say around a month or two because it's always easy to go back and develop an addiction.

I also had the same solution when I got hooked on gambling and was spending more than I should have every week. I relied on my other hobbies to break the pattern and limit myself to only betting with the smallest bankroll.

I don't consider I've been an addicted gambler, but I felt really close of becoming one when I lost a big sum of money and got tempted to recover that. I couldn't stop thinking about the loss, I couldn't sleep and kept thinking about putting more money in risk to recover what was lost. I think what prevented me from going further was to conclude I wasn't the first one to face this situation and that I was going through the same wrong process many gamblers had already went before me, ending in chaos and misery.

When you feel impulsive to continue betting, even though you have already spent everything you could, think about other gamblers who were on the same situation and how it ended for them. Do you want to pass by the same path of suffering they did? Do you want bad consequences for your life? I don't think so... So, please, refrain.

I came from a time when making money with online casinos was easy, especially when I could include several referrals that multiplied my earnings. Over time the games became more and more difficult and less profitable and then I realized that I was already spending almost everything I had earned in the previous months.

Fortunately I never needed to invest a lot of money in gambling, I just used the profits I got from betting and referrals.

I think that my "salvation" was to have found an alternative in sports games, because I don't know if I would be able to stop betting completely.... with sports games I was able to "slow down", make more sporadic bets while I needed time to analyze game statistics, place smaller bets (always offline) and patiently wait for the results.

Today I'm happy with the discipline gained in gambling and with my responsible bets, but every now and then I still have a few slot machine relapses ;D

What you are looking for does not exist. Someone who has problems with gambling, the way to stop having them is to stop gambling, for good. Like alcoholics.


I'd think you were making it up, especially with the number of people who write in this section who don't even gamble to meet their weekly quota, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and think you're the exception that proves the rule.


Right. I mentioned alcohol before, but tobacco is also useful. Someone who is an ex-smoker, who smoked a couple of packs of cigarettes a day, if they go back to smoking, they will go back to smoking as before, they will not be able to smoke just one cigarette a day or only at weekends, as in the case of ex-alcoholics. The same applies to gambling.

There is no special drug that is effective to cure addiction quickly other than a strong desire to stop that comes from yourself.
In discussions related to several topics like this there are those who suggest avoiding hanging out with friends that you normally play with the aim of alienating yourself.

For some experiences, the method for some can be effective, for me based on the experience that I have practiced is to go through everyday association as usual with them in the usual place but I am busy with other activities that are different from them even my existence is currently in the same table Together with those who are cool playing PG and Pragmatic Play.

I was at a level where I couldn't control myself enough to gamble, not yet at the addiction stage but already getting there. I have used several methods, such as limiting internet access and setting the minimum deposit to be able to control my gambling. Initially it was quite difficult to control the desire to gamble, because the temptation to gamble was still there, especially if there was a match that was quite interesting to gamble on. However, with my strong desire to reduce the intensity of gambling, it really helped me to overcome this problem, even though it took me a long time to control myself.
The point is that it's all up to you, if you have a strong desire to reduce or stop gambling, you should be able to, because whatever method you use, if you don't have a strong desire to stop then it's useless.

My best advice to you and other people having the same problem is this :

1. Find the reason why you are gambling and then find alternatives to replace it. (Example : Boredom = replace it with some other activity like Sport or some new hobby)

2. Find psychological reasons for the addiction.... (Example : Depression / compulsive behavior = Go speak to professional people to find some ways to deal with that)

3. Ask family and friends for support (They can keep you busy with something else or you can talk to them, when you get the urge to start gambling again)

4. Try to delete your accounts and use self exclusion mechanisms provided by some casinos to stop you from accessing their sites.

5. Block all communication and promotions that are coming from gambling related sites. (Also use Advertisement blockers on your browser and phone)

Good luck.... I hope you can get some help and that some of my advice will help you.  ;)

I have never had a gambling addiction, but I had a close friend who suffered from this problem.

In general, I think there are some "tricks" that could be implemented immediately to avoid bigger damages:
- Every bettor must ask himself and understand for himself why he bets. From this evaluation he can change this way of playing and avoid compusive plays.
- last but no least, have no money available for gambling (cold wallet if he play in crypto).
- try to find an alternative to gambling (like an hobby etc etc...)
- don't feel bad if you get addicted. just recover from the situation, and avoid any damage that could arise from compulsory betting.

My suggestion for you to spare some minutes/hours to read whole of threads related to the gambling addictions. There have been so many people were also explaining how to do that in the various explanations.  :D
I am gonna wait for another gambling addiction thread to appear soon.  :D

IMO, I don't think you will see those who you say as "hard gambling addicts" in this forum. It will be difficult to tell the truth about it.
I can see a lot of gamblers but I don't know how to identify what is hard addict from just a normal addict. Judging from the different experiences they shared, most of the time members here know when to stop or not.
I am not an addict but I do run my computer 24 hours sometimes in automatic. That's for the wagering and the chance for a jackpot. There will be a time it's not much fun unlike when I do it in physical gambling. Being on your own at your own desk at your own house in front of a computer is not an enjoyable feature.
I don't think you get easily addicted when it comes to online gambling. It actually becomes boring in the long run especially, if you experienced playing in physical casinos.

Losses are unrecoverable, we should make sure our winnings exceeds the proportional ratio of losses. Refrain from the activities that would be harmful to our personal aides, I'm talking about gambling that tends to liquidate our accounts. Addiction happens every day, we just have to stick to plans that will make us gain quite a lot from the gambling system. Experience will actually make us remember our past mistakes and techniques of addressing them. It's always possible to have important strategies in advance because recording substantial losses will undoubtedly bring us back to the very scratch that we have been avoiding.

I have never been addicted to gambling myself, but I have lived with people who are addicted to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. My college roommate ruined his life with taking drugs all the time and is now living at a community farm because he can't live on his own anymore and hold a job. And my uncle died at 60 from being an alcoholic most of his life. In my opinion all these addictions are very similar and it doesn't matter if you are attracted to gambling, cigarettes or drugs. What I can tell you from my personal experience is that there is no happy living after beating your addiction. In case you are already addicted to gambling, then you need a clear break with it. It's not going to be that you find a way to life with gambling. The problem is that too many addicts are struggling with relapses and you need get completely off the thing you thinking about all the time. Maybe after 10 years it will be different and you can try again slowly to come back to gambling, but until then I you should be focusing on getting your life in order.

Each person's character is different, not the same and moreover discussing addiction will never end in this forum, you might be able to find many ways in this forum about addiction and how to get out of there, I don't know whether this will also be a mega thread Also later, I hope you pay attention to this Utas also every time and lock it at any time if you feel enough to know the answer you are looking for.

I have a friend he just changes his mindset to be able to reduce his addiction, you must remember that the process to quit gambling addiction takes a long time, the first thing to reduce your gambling activity then move away from everything related to gambling, for example if you are addicted to gambling Online then avoid activities related to the internet, after that looking for other activities of social activities will be better or busy working will help you reduce it. Just follow the process everything runs after that you will stop alone.  ;)

If someone is addicted to gambling, it is not something that is easy for him or her to easily control himself or herself over because it has become part of their blood. The worst part of finding it very hard to control themselves over gambling is when someone does not have any source of income but tries to only rely on gambling so that their dreams can be fulfilled.
 
But despite that, when someone is addicted to gambling, it is something that cannot be cured easily. When you always find yourself busy in other ways that money is coming out, you may not later carry gambling as a serious thing again. I have a friend who is seriously addicted to gambling. If he doesn't bet one day, he will be thinking that he wasted an opportunity. But honestly, when he finds other means of getting money that are not related to gambling, which always make him busy all the time, gradually, my friend quits gambling. Let's know that it is hardly possible for a busy person to get addicted to gambling because they will never have much time for that.

I agree with this.

For me, gambling isn't suitable to be a full time profession and source of income. It is a form of entertainment that could bring satisfaction and relaxation to you. A form of hobby or pass time that could let you earn on the side. But most often, people do not think of this, and rather view gambling as a scheme to get rich quickly when in fact it doesn't work like that. You can become addicted and dependent on gambling if you won't limit yourself from betting and playing. Hence, establishing boundaries is essential to prevent yourself from falling into it. Boundaries include but not limited to having a specific time and fund allocated for gambling.

Once you experience deep regret in your gambling like losing a lot of money or ruining a relationship, there will be a realization of what you are doing wrong that will be the time that you will seek help on how to cure your addiction, my addiction is not really deep but there were signs that I'm turning into a drug addict and I need a cure or someone that can help me.
I have a friend who got cured of addiction and he gave a lot of great advice like focusing more on family limiting my time and trying to be as relaxed as possible so I can think clearly for the best action whenever there is an urge to gamble, people should gamble if they want to not because they need to.

Gambling addiction is not easy to get rid of. Good thing that I was never addicted to it. However, from my observation from other gamblers, when they want to break their addiction, they start to develop some hobbies like arts or any recreational activity that will divert their attention from gambling. That way, they will minimize their gambling activities until they can finally say that they can live normally even without gambling. In addition, if they can set a good project like saving for a vacation or putting up a business, probably that will also help to lessen their gambling activities so they can easily save money for their new project.

I never had an addiction but I helped a lot of friends with addiction, The key is constant communication I noticed that the less time that they are in casinos or online casinos and cultivating a new interest the better for them to forget gambling, the most important thing is replacing the dopamine effect that gambling is giving them.
Gamblers are always in denial and are defensive in nature, so their loved ones should find a way to reach them and open up, Communication is very important so if you think you are suffering from addiction and you want a cure it's better to reach out to your love ones to help you get rehabilitate.

I will just add a little story about the gambling experience that I see in general, that someone who will start playing gambling before they have made a plan or strategy that will be played in the gambling, and they are aware and ready to lose their money. if you lose and there are also those who hope for luck in gambling.
Someone who is addicted to gambling will find it difficult to stop playing, but sometimes if he has experienced such a big problem, maybe he will repent and stop gambling. It does take a long time to be able to control or stop gambling.

Basically it has to be like that, like you said before they want to gamble they have to agree with themselves first, whatever happens they have to accept including defeat and before they gamble they also have to prepare money that they will not argue or even get emotional if the money is finally lost, I think that's a responsible gambler. Yes and probably everyone already knows that if it has entered the stage of addiction it will be very difficult to stop, I think there are two factors that can make them stop, first maybe like you said they experienced something big or a big loss, and secondly I think boredom can come to them. Honestly I'm one of those people who can quit because of boredom, not because of too many defeats but defeats can also be boring, but honestly for myself I purely quit because I was bored with the game there, even after getting a win I felt normal and the thrill seemed to disappear. I honestly don't know what happened to me, but I'm very happy that I was finally able to quit and the curiosity in my mind was finally gone.

I really believe that asking this kind of subjective inquiry will only result to tons of spam opinions that doesn’t really came from a gambking addict user. More or less you will only get an opinion from a signature campaign poster that posting in gambling board for the sake of gambling post requirements even though they re not really gambling.

Don’t gamble if you don’t want to be addicted. Asking an advice from a previous gambling addict is a waste of time since experience teach them how to overcome it that means you will need to experience it first before you overcome since addiction can’t be fight while you are not starting yet on your gambling journey.

Comparing gambling with substance addiction ignores some subtle differences. Psychological effects can be similar, but physiological effects, especially in substance misuse, are severe
Additionally, "no happy living after beating your addiction" is a false assumption. Many, including me as a controlled gambler, have learned to moderate such habits. Telling someone to "come back to gambling after 10 years" is illogical. Relapse is risky - why bother? Knowing one's limits and creating a structured atmosphere are more important than avoidance. Relapse is a risk, but with strong support and self-awareness, one can have a full life after addiction

It seems you read the situation with this thread well.
Do you have to ask for advice directly? Because many former addicts have given their advice to other people and these people spread it through the media, through books and several articles. Or ask a psychologist who knows more about addicts, it doesn't mean the psychologist has ever been an addict. Addiction cannot be fought, but it can be prevented with self-awareness when they get into gambling. They must know what the risks are.

I'm not addicted to gambling but know someone who seems addicted. I'm only basing it based on what I can see from him but there's no actual diagnosis of gambling addiction. And I think the younger you are, it's easier to stop your gambling addiction since you will still have plenty of time and things you haven't experienced yet in real world. And those experiences growing up might help you stop your addiction. For example, as you grow up, you realize that you will have more and bigger responsibility and gambling isn't part of it. Also young minds, is easier to convince to have a different perspective. But if you're already old and you've been gambling most of your life, it'll be harder to stop that addiction. Cause that's what you've been doing for years so it would need a lot of effort and time to change that. Maybe the thing that could make them realize things and stop their addiction is when they've experience losing something or someone important because of gambling.

Not to brag, but I'm happy to share my experience in overcoming gambling addiction because I've successfully managed it and have been consistently making money from trading for over a year now. Like many of my previous posts in this forum, it's crucial to take sufficient breaks between consecutive losses or wins to regain control of your emotions. Take some time to review all your trades, whether in trading or gambling, to learn from your experiences. I recommend starting with this practice before considering more long-term strategies. You'll definitely notice a significant difference if you can consistently follow these steps correctly.

Maybe I have experienced a gambling addiction, but it seems like the gambling addiction I experienced is not yet a serious gambling addiction. The method I use is only by reducing gambling activity and trying to form new habits that are different from usual for a while, maybe more than 1 month, I can distract myself from thinking about gambling.

You have to create a new habit to divert your mind from gambling so you can forget about it while you are busy with this new activity. Do it for a week or two and see how it goes. And if you feel that it is still not enough, you can continue until you can really divert your attention from gambling. But everything will not work if you don't have a strong intention to reduce gambling activities because everything depends on us who live it.

OP, whether you believe it or not, in general every individual involved in the world of gambling has their own way, whether it's to stop or try gambling.

If you gamble, you have to believe in the meaning of gambling itself, maybe there are hundreds of sayings that many people say, maybe I will give you one quote that is meaningful about addiction.

In the quote above, maybe you can draw one conclusion, you gamble really based on luck. In this way, it will be easy for you to come to the conclusion to stop or play gambling, if you think that gambling is a benefit or bad luck for you, Of course, it's quite easy for you to decide on one conclusion, stop or play as luck.

The character was the major reaction for not retrieving from the addiction.Because some people will have the attitude in their way of approach,So they won’t accept your words at the time of the addiction.To be frank,they never hear your words at their addiction.The gamblers capacity will be the soul reason to recover from the addiction.

The OP may get enough words to retire from the addiction,So self control will be the important reason.One of my friends get away from the addiction by their own efforts.Because his wife said,she will divorce him.If he not quit the gambling.For his family he had made the self control and quit the gambling addiction.Even now he is playing the gambling without the knowledge of his wife.He had not quit the game,he just reduce the game.Most important was he is not playing gambling in his home.

1. Remove the account and uninstall the browser at the same time.
2. Stay away from environments that can redirect the desire to play.
3. Busy yourself with other activities.
4. Convey your desire to stop gambling to a close friend so that he can help you get out of the problem you are trying to overcome.
5. Motivate yourself that your future situation will be much better without gambling.
6. Always remember that the actions you have done while gambling are the twists and turns of life.
7. Steadfast yourself to stick to the commitment to stop gambling.

The steps mentioned will provide an opportunity to release an addiction of 80% of the level of success, and many other members also give their opinions about how OP can release addiction by personal self, all these stages will succeed 100% if the OP does the stage as a whole without much thinking, and Or uncomfortable with friends or the environment who used to play gambling not to gather again with them, because I also did this one year ago, and proved effective.

After everything is finished, there will be an open thought and good self -control, so you will get wisdom in gambling if you want it again op, like me now, but it should be remembered that this is not easy to do, you need time to arrive at Your point has wiser and more mature thoughts in responding to gambling.

I personally have never been addicted to gambling, but I do have some very close friends who once have been or currently are addicted to gambling.  It's heartbreaking as I know all to well how strong of a hold addiction can have on people.

Of those friends of mine whom were addicted that now are "better", I've simply seen a lot counseling (seeing someone for one on ones) as well as having called gambling addiction hotlines.  You've got to really want to it though.  Those who truly wanted to fix things put in the effort and it paid off.

Although I have not been addicted ever since I started gambling, I really don't even take gambling very seriously, and I am now very busy with business and other activities. But for someone who had addiction, according to him, how he broke out of it was to just be first of all determined that he had a bad gambling habit, then derive some strategy that helped him finally stop gambling, although he never stopped it instantly. I think that every compulsive gambler had their own strategy before they could stop gambling.

I have no experience of addiction in gambling, I always play but there are limits at certain times, for example on weekends, this does not cause gambling addiction every day, of course, still overcoming not to be addicted.

Yeah of course with the principle of management and money management must be good if not it can be spent on gambling, you have to be as small as possible the percentages that are generated for gambling but I saw in another thread the average of their income is 5-10 percent for gambling so I say it's still not a severe addiction.

If you want to quit you must have a strong principle to quit gambling sometimes this is difficult to do and help in any way such as to a psychologist I think they can help and guide you to a healthy path.

I do not necessarily think that one can step away from addiction, or at least not forever. Addiction is an intrinsic human experience and as much as we dislike it, unless we tread carefully around the traps of dopamine abuse, we can easily become addicted to whatever the source of the dopamine rush was. For some people the lure of addiction is much stronger than others, so for them, it is just best to avoid things like rewarding your own bad behavior with dopamine-releasing drugs or actions.

 

#TBT addiction topics

Addiction is a disease and needs medical care, and/or professional consultation, if someone falls into a subsequent spiral of uncontrol, the only thing that saves them is not to bet again,really, how to explain it; only healthy people can to gambler, that is, they lose or win, they come out well process, for example, it is always a mistake to think that the losing addict is the sick one and the winner is not an addict or the one who manages to dominate his times is not, but it is only a matter of time.

The addiction to betting is a mental illness. You can't get the thought out of playing, just playing, winning or losing is irrelevant to the addict.

I can give you advice on how if you have a downsing, then, don't worry, keep your level of bets and don't change anything you've been doing well, reduce the size of the bet, or simply take a vacation, in my case around 2015,(+-) I totally retired from poker,I came back as who says to try crypto poker casinos and I'm here again.

You do not have to prove yourself when you are in bad situations, on the contrary, retiring at any time, it is a test that every player must do, at some point in his life, be it due to fatigue, family life, children, others, etc.

So drugs are an external influence that can speed up the addiction process, I also just heard about dopamine which influences the addiction process and has a bad effect on anything. It acts as a sedative so you don't panic too much when gambling, always calm but has a bad effect. this will be a more complex problem, not just gambling addiction but also drug addiction.

Serious or not, as long as you've been addicted in gambling, that's all that matters.

It is a nice method and really could work. Looking for some distractions so that you won't be able to gamble is a strategy that can work for the most.

But for someone who can't do it, I don't know what to think about them. When you're taking your time doing it and some activities is eating up your time, you'll eventually forget to gamble and even your addiction.

If you feel bored, that is purely your own personal nature, perhaps it could also be said to be a way to stop gambling and boredom can occur because someone has been doing any activity for a long time and wants to try something new, it is true that someone is old. Over time you will feel bored with gambling if you do it for fun, but this is not the case for people who are addicted to gambling, they will play continuously because they hope for luck in gambling.

Personally, when it comes to recovering from a gambling addiction, it is not always that easy, and likewise that goes to drug addict, and all other form of addiction, whereby for anyone to fully recover, one needs to have a very strong mindset to change, and disconnecting himself from any environment the will tempt him/her into gambling, which for me, I can only see that for those who intends fully recover must take the right step in meeting the trained medical personal specialist whose job is the help "strong addict" with the right treatment plan recover fully from gambling gradually.

We have to do diversification so that our minds are not always thinking about gambling. That's what I did to take my mind off gambling. At least it worked for me and now I don't think about gambling too often because I realized that there is a lot I can do besides just gambling.

Maybe they can do different things and not just sit idly by because that can make our minds go back to thinking about gambling. We have to actively do whatever we want and without procrastinating so that no time is wasted just sitting still. You can try it if you want.

I agree, there are a lot of ways, steps, and trials for them. Addiction is addiction no matter what, even if that is gambling or drugs.
That's why we have a lot of rehab these days for a lot of kinds of addiction.
I think the most common problem of other are they don't know they are already into addiction or they can't admit and it will lead to not seeking help for some professionals.

Thank you for providing advice on what steps to take, everyone has their own story and way of doing this, I would like to thank @Drawesome @Die_empty @Kakmakr @bitbollo and @aylabadia05 for providing the steps directly, it would be very useful for me in dealing with this, and on average it conveys the same pattern that I can say it is a credible step to take.
Sorry I can't reply one by one, but I thank you again for the people who have given their advice.

Some people say why not read the article directly, ask the experts, I think it's much better to ask people who have experience in this matter directly, then some people suggest that I read topics that discuss the same attachments, actually I can do that. but it will take time and lots of messy posts, unfortunately I forgot not to use self-moderate for this my thread.  :'(

I used to be an active gambler but not addicted, and now I'm not like before who only gambled on weekends even when I felt like gambling.
At that time I didn't have a permanent job, but I did have income from freelancing, and the proceeds I always used to gamble because I had a lot of free time so I just gambled.
And after I had a permanent job, my gambling activities decreased because I didn't have time to do it and worked from Monday to Friday and apart from work I had enough rest time. And can only gamble on weekends with limited money and time and only to fill spare time after work stress.
And what made my gambling activities decrease again after I got married and had children, and this made me gamble less and less because on weekends is my time with my family.
And sometimes it's a shame if I spend money even though I don't have much money to gamble because my wife and children need it more, but that doesn't mean I don't gamble at all. And I still gamble when I have free time after prioritizing everything and when I really want to, and for just a few dollars, with money I can afford to lose.

And this experience really worked, because I had a friend who was addicted to gambling and he stopped gambling after he had a job, got married and had children. Because time is what keeps gamblers playing because there are no other activities that really matter, and there is also someone to keep them motivated.

It worked for you so it could and couldn't work for the others. But, I agree to what you've said that we have to spend our time in many things so that you'll get busy and you'll forget gambling.

Just catch up with other things that you have probably forgotten to do and that will force you to focus on it and then forget gambling later on.

The management of your time is important to help you overcome it. Those that have been strongly-willed are able to win over their addiction.

Haven't you heard that gambling addiction will immediately disappear, as soon as you run out of money, creditors will no longer trust you, and all your property will be mortgaged and sold? :)

So don't worry - very soon this disease will pass by itself. :)

Case Tip: Stop playing. At all. Eliminate the ability to play for yourself. Remove passwords from online casino accounts so that you can't log in and play.

This is impossible to do in online casino which is very easy to create an account since it doesn’t require KYC at first and it’s very convenient to deposit since they both accept crypto and fiat whichever works best to the player.

Removing the money available for gambling is the best thing to do just like your earlier thoughts. This helps me a lot when I have trouble before to manage my gambling addiction. I involved my wife for holding my finances and just ask money that I really need which my wife is very strict to control it as per my instruction too.  :D

Each person has different way to stop gambling addict.

Let's say you were a gambling addict and you can stop gambling after winning $5,000, but some gamblers might will try to gamble more when they get a big amount of money. Most of them will stop after losing everything including their house.

It's better to force the gambling addict to meet a professional or doctor.

Gambling addiction takes a serious toll on a person's life. When a person becomes addicted to gambling, he is not considered a normal person. I have a lot of experience in gambling. But I never turned this gambling into an addiction. Although sometimes I was a bit attracted to gambling, but thinking about losing, I refrained from gambling. Whenever I thought about losing, I stopped betting. That's how I completely abstained from gambling and got my life on a nice tidy path. In fact there is no such thing as addiction it is entirely driven by human conscience. People can give up any addiction if they want to. Just need to awaken the will power of his mind. Then you will see that you have achieved success in everything.

Money is not the answer to many things, you can get addicted and yet in this situation money cannot help deal with it except you take some personal precautionary steps to ensure you get yourself free of this by yourself, gambling addiction is not that easily controlled, we may need the help of other factors to help us through this process and the first is to avoid having money with your gambling wallet account in other not to have access to gambling when you're not with money, you should not deal with the addiction first but what is causing the addiction should be your first priority.

I have a close friend who is a gambling addict, he spends about $10,000 a year, which is a lot of money for my country. Now he can stop, the reason why he stopped is simple, because he has no more money for deposit. Now he has debts at the bank, so his salary is used to pay the bank, he no longer has money to deposit on online gambling sites. That was the reason he could stop

But the experience above is still better, one of the youths in my city neighbor hanged himself because he lost a lot of money in online gambling. I don't know how much he spent on online gambling sites. However, this person was still very young and had not worked, maybe he was stressed because he lost so he decided to hang himself from the tree behind his house

It sounds like you're saying that the drop in gambling is a direct result of more tasks, which isn't always true or a good way to find relief

It's hard to take this: Not not having any duties to "distract" you is not the main problem; the problem is the gambling habit itself. The problem is still there, even though you've cut back on it because of work or family. How can you be sure that you've got it under control? Say something if things change. Have you thought about tools like self-exclusion programs, time-outs, or spending limits? For healthy gambling, this is what experts say you should do. Your current plan doesn't seem like a real answer; it's more like a band-aid. Something to think about

There are many gamblers who at some point became addicted gamblers and have been able to recover from it. I myself have had experiences where I was able to realize something after losing a big assets. Because I was dreaming of realizing big dreams from gambling which at one stage taught me that gambling platform is not a place to realize dreams.

With having loss or gain one should get pleasure. When I saw that if I had invested or deposited the money which I lost every month, I would have saved a lot of money today. After learning this education I have been able to control my gambling. I still gamble but with full of control.

For sure, there are many people got that same sentiment as yours. After losing huge, realize that there's a big problem when you already become addicted to gambling.

You will just notice those realizations when you already experienced something like that, good for you that you manage
to change your mindset though gambling still exists, but dreaming big out from gambling, chances that you will chase
for something big that can lead you to lose more.

I don't get what  spirituality has to got to do with gambling, are you trying to say these gambling addicts are possessed with spirit of gamblers and that's what is behind their addiction? Are you erasing greed, loss chasing, lack of self control etc out of the picturesque of habits that incites addiction. There's no fetish power behind gambling addiction, what I know is that people normally perform some kind of rituals before activating self to gamble as just a way to brighten their fortune and luck for winnings beyond that it is circumvent to tribute gambling addiction of gamblers to spirits.

Regrets do always come at the end and this is something that you should really be that trying to avoid as much as possible on which you should really be trying out to lessen the risks as much as possible but since we are

talking about gambling then this is a venture on which you would really be that needing to spend money to get that kind of leisure and entertaining for yourself but most likely, this would really be talking about
making profits or winning where gamblers which they do mainly be thinking and pursuing on which this is the reason on why this market is really that booming up or really that increasing.
Reading up on others experience would also help yourself to be wary on what are those other people experience specially on addiction and how they do able to cope up and recover and to those who do completely fail
on doing so and ended up miserable.

The only thing that you should really bare in mind is that you should really know on when to stop and when to have a pause on the time that you are seeing that things starts out to be messy
specially when it comes to finances. Its impossible that you wont really be able to notice it out if there's already something wrong on this part.

I wonder if we have that here that has hard addiction to it, that would really be a rare case, you mean a problem gambler that down to the core in addiction? I guess you just have to be consistent to always avoid it or you need to mitigate that urge to gamble. Moreover, I think consulting with a professional will be the best course of action.

Of course it will take time and of course everyone can do it to escape gambling addiction. Maybe for me, what I do to get rid of the thought of continuing to gamble is to do other things, such as watching and keeping myself busy in various other activities so that our minds are diverted to other things and forget about gambling. Indeed, there must be support from those in our sphere of life because if our friends gamble then you won't be able to do this.

Apart from that, slowly you can find a new form of comfort from activities other than gambling and if you implement this successfully within a week, maybe you will be able to get rid of your addiction to gambling. Indeed, in gambling, the management level must be in our minds to adjust the level of expenditure in gambling.

try to remember the children and wife. I'm sure we have those dependents. we must be responsible to them. If we are addicted to gambling so we neglect them and even have to sell some of their original assets for gambling, what will happen to them? I think this can help us not become addicted to gambling.

The spiritual approach is not easy task in the gambling,because the gamblers is like won’t obey other words in the addiction.The source of the addiction in the gambling is due to the greedy approach of the gamblers.The gamblers will continue their way towards the multiple game till the maximum winning was achieved by the gambler.The gamblers are mostly will not trust the god and mostly atheist in nature.Some people do the rituals to get the luck on the gambling,sometimes it will be achieved and some times it will be failed.After some loss,the gamblers become an atheist by the huge bad luck in the game.

Getting rid of gambling addiction is not easy. it should really be tried slowly. or if we are really addicted to gambling, it means we have confidence that we always win in every bet. try to utilize it in business, or trade. Be principled, I'm sure that today my items are sold out. without thinking how it sold. At least it also cures you of the addiction to gambling.

It is not that easy to eliminate gambling addiction but one of the ways to kill gambling addiction is when one have really realised how dangerous the addiction is to himself,  one can think of the best way to stay from gambling but if the addiction is not a problem to someone it will be difficult to come out from gambling addiction.  Making good decisions a strategy to come out from addiction,  without having the ability to make decisions addiction will still exist.

I am not addicted to gambling but if we search the internet there are lot of documentation about gambling addicts and their experiences.  Here is some of them:
TikToker trapped in gambling addiction that nearly destroyed his life - BBC Newsnight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LbM4MufEEo)
My Gambling Addiction | On The Red Dot | CNA Insider (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk72-ZBlWNY)
My Gambling Addiction Ruined My Life | Minutes With | @LADbible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdhpyFeiSjs)

There are also streams where they discuss about how one can recover in gambling addiction like this one:
Gambling Addiction - Despair to Recovery - 12 Step Therapy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdpxdyVqhAc)

With those references you can learn something from someone's experienced, it's really needed if you wanted to avoid any mistake that can be resulted with the same outcome.

Addicted gamblers often realize mistakes or big mistakes when they are already empty, they will start regretting
and thinking of what they've done wrong once they don't have anything with them, with those write-ups and
video streams, you will learn something and if you take it seriously, then you will not experience that same
problem or if possible from those experienced, you will not go to even start your own gambling journey.

Yes, at least they can learn from other people's experiences and modify it to work well for them. It will be useful for people who really want to reduce their gambling time, especially if they can get something valuable from other people's experiences. That's what is called learning from what other people have done or obtained so that it can be useful for us too.

Yes, doing other things that have nothing to do with gambling will take our focus away from gambling and help us not think about gambling. We will focus more on the new things we are doing so that, slowly, it will reduce our focus on gambling. And time management is indeed important because we can divide or allocate the time we have to do other things.

My personal experience says that what makes people addicted to gambling is the desire to win the jackpot. I had felt that way. The solution that I have implemented is to just enjoy gambling as a game. Don't even think about winning big bets and jackpots. I often bet on UFC fights but I only bet about $20 and it's really fun because there's like an adrenaline rush when you watch the fight.

I have experienced very bad addiction problems in the past but if I tell you about it here it will be very long and I will tell you that the essence of it all is just having big intentions and being consistent with your own rules and you must have support or encouragement like for example in the past when I experienced this I did not have a wife and at that time I wanted to recover with the aim of marrying the woman who is now my current wife and my enthusiasm became greater when my wife was able to understand my situation and help me until I recovered and to this day my wife knows about my gambling activities Its just that he always reminded me not to pursue anything too much from gambling and I was also always reminded that if you gamble, do not use money for your daily needs.

In conclusion, all gambling addictions, even those that are very crazy, can be cured as long as they have a strong desire and full support from family or someone special in their life and I am sure they can recover.

The mindset and desire to win and get the jackpot is actually the root of the problem, someone can become addicted because they won't really enjoy betting in the right way. If their mindset is healthy, for example just to have fun, I don't think that will make them fall into it. into feelings of addiction that's why never use the wrong mindset.

Gambling cannot always give you a win, let alone provide a steady source of income, just enjoy the adrenaline just like we pay for something for entertainment that makes us happy, for example paying for a game that gives us adrenaline, let's just say that winning in gambling is a bonus and not as the main target that must be achieved. gambling wisely is the solution and learning from your own experience will be even better.

I havent had addiction in gambling since the first time I stepped into it I understood the mechanic of how the casino is making money and thus I moved on to being an investor in the casino bankroll or promote the casino like an affiliate, but not play in it.

But during this course I have seen many people go down the rabbit hole without any chance of recovery because they are not seeking professional help neither are they motivated to stop. If I go back to the primedice trollbox, the same users whom I had seen in 2016 are still playing and losing money in 2023. Maybe they dont need the money but they are not willing to stop either.

In any case, for many people the problem is serious and needs professional help.

When I first got into gambling, I started to become addicted. Though I wouldn't call that a hard addiction, I was still spending a lot of money on gambling that I was earning online either through trading or other tasks that I used to do. After some time, I realized that I was wasting a lot of money on gambling and a lot of time is being wasted as well, so I decided to start reducing the time and money I was spending on gambling and eventually stop gambling.

Even though I couldn't stop gambling completely, I managed to reduce my budget and the time that I used to spend on it, and I didn't do anything special for that, maybe because I was hardly addicted to it and it was easier for me to control myself and the urge to gamble and that's why I got success.

Suggestions that are quite useful, but you are a person who is lucky enough there are women who want to marry you and at that moment you also have a pretty crazy gambling addiction, on the other hand it also needs additional encouragement from the external side to increase motivation to be eager to recover From gambling addiction, thank you, sir.

We do need enough time to slowly be released, I understand that and most people who have given a statement about the amount of money used and the amount of time used is the main key in reducing addiction, it is not easy and indeed needs to be done Slowly, but I say thank you for the story of your experience.

Personally I have been able to get out of addiction only by my strong will to do so and this should be the main advice to you and anyone else who want to come out of it,you have to want it with all your body and spiritual desire and you can do it.Of course this takes a lot of time and I didn't come out of this immediately,I started playing smaller and smaller amounts every week,kept playing with a different currency like IDR which kept me playing longer and longer until I started to get bored of such long sessions but without losing any substantial amount of money.Now I still do play with IDR and I have a set weekly bankroll which I never overdo it or better I overdo it only very few times.This is how I got out of full addiction.

It is easy to recover from addiction if you have self-control, but if you do not have that, you will not be addicted to gambling, or even if you have control over everything, you won't get addicted. When recovering from addiction, you should have consistency because there are others who tried to minimize their hours of playing for a few days, but after that, they are back to spending too many hours on gambling that they shouldn't, as they are already committed to stopping their addiction by limiting the hours. Also, quitting instantly won't help because you will really find a way to get back. It is better to make it slowly before you quit, as it is less painful and more effective.

The strong minded gamblers only escape from the gambling addiction,others easily addicted with the gambling.This because of the huge attraction towards the gambling.Sometimes the gambler who want the passive income from their real income will use the gambling.Because now the economic condition was not easiest one.So all of us need of second income to manage today economic condition.The reason behind this was the product cost was increased a lot.The cost of pen was increased 20-30 percentage from the real value,like wise each product cost was increased and it was the main reason for the passive income from the gambling.

So it will depend on each gambler to determine when they will quit their gambling addiction. Other people cannot force them to quit or stop gambling because it is related to the consciousness of each gambler. And as long as the gambler still wants to gamble, he will continue to gamble without anyone stopping him. Some gamblers try to reduce their gambling activities by reducing their gambling time, and so far, they have been able to do this, and day by day, they are increasingly able to reduce it. So if each gambler already has a strong will to stop gambling, that's when they can try to do it, and they will be able to really reduce their gambling time or even stop gambling.

It's akin to something done by other addicts; there's always a rationale sought by an addict, including gambling addicts. For instance, someone addicted to alcohol will constantly seek justification and downplay the negative effects of alcohol. Similarly, in the realm of gambling, individuals will concoct reasons to engage in it, be it for the prospect of hitting a jackpot (as you mentioned) or merely for amusement or other motives. An individual can become addicted for reasons that defy easy explanation because it's a call from the heart.

Breaking free from that addiction is exceedingly challenging when a desired accomplishment hasn't been attained. However, for me, having once quit console gaming addiction that spanned years, it was because of boredom. Now, whether gambling has a saturation point or not, I can't say since I've never been addicted to gambling.

Of course, whether a regular gambler or an addicted gambler wants to stop or reduce his gambling activities, it depends on the gambler's awareness and serious intentions. And if there is no serious intention they will continue gambling until they realize it after their life becomes poor, and this often happens and they stop and realize it after losing everything.
Gambling activities are not an opportunity to seek passive income, because winnings in gambling are inconsistent and if they cannot be controlled it will actually make the gambler suffer.

It depends on the intensity of the spending of the regular gambler because I’m a regular gambler myself and I really want to add my bankroll to have a much better game time and higher excitement. The only problem is the source of funds for the additional expenses.

Not all gambler wants to reduce gambling more importantly for gamblers that use gambling as leisure for their free time. I have a toxic job and toxic friend sometimes so I regularly gamble to release stress instead of dealing with others toxicity. I’m not sure if there’s other user here with same case like me.

Sometimes people who are addicted to gambling choose gambling for multiplication of their money but sometimes wealthy people are part of gambling for time pass so those who are passing their time in gambling can easily get rid of it by going towards their hobbies but those who are have addiction can never get rid of it.

Gambler can not understand until they loss overall sum of money in gambling but their are also certain type of Gambler who remains a part of it for whole life because they have no one dearer or nearer who put positive effect on their mind through their advice.

Regrets do always come at the end and there's no way that you would really be able to have those points in life in starting, this is why most of the time or you would definitely be stopping gambling literally on the time that

you dont really have that money on your pocket or in your bank account on which it would really be making you do able to stop on playing gambling.Dont let yourself able to reach out such state on which you dont really already have the food to eat or having the house for shelter where everything had been sold out because of too much gambling addiction. Dont make yourself coming into a point like this because it is really that hard to recover once you do mess up when it comes to finances. Its true that stopping completely would really be entirely be depending on someones discipline and self control.

We know that each person or individual does have that different kind of control when it comes to their decisions in life. It is really just that impossible that you couldnt
really be able to re-assess on whats happening currently with your life.

It sounds very strange, but what you say is true, that someone who is addicted to gambling has the same mindset, namely that they gamble with the aim of getting a lot of money from what they previously had less. Even though it's not certain that there will be a lot of money in the future, it could be that all the money is lost and we don't get anything, in fact we will experience losses. It's not just rich people who like to gamble, in fact most poor people have a lot of hopes that they will have more money in the future. If they cannot regulate how to play, including when to play and how much money we will bet, then we will become gambling addicts who will most likely find it difficult to stop.

The topic is really strange and funny to me  because at first as I saw it my mind was thinking about actually learning from who have gamble experience in winning so that they can share and I wanted to clear the air that there is no expert or professional gambler but saw that it's saying something entirely different.

Well I believe addiction is something that takes time to stop and if eventually someone stops this act, I don't think playing same gambling would be the first or even an option because you will definitely revive that killed character of yours.

The ultimate thing to note is that,  you should always be at alart to check every addictions tendency such as overly be greedy to chase a particular directions,  you don't necessary need to break in between to place yourself in an underlying advantage in combating addictions,  and for that you must have to be at a balance level,  which have to do with self control at all time.

Protecting yourself from becoming addicted is the best form form of practice,  but more also those of us who have been privilege to test both side have come to the realization that it is far better to avoid getting into addiction rather than trying to fight it.

I dont really understand what you mean by hard addiction experience in gambling. I think you should throw more light on that. But when it comes to addiction in gambling greed and impatience is the ultimate cause.

Exactly,  learning how to protect yourself from getting addicted is the best form of practice and this is more so when you take every possible precaution to avoid getting addicted in the first place, A lot of newbies have used the help from this discussion to learn how sliding into addictions and avoid addictions since it has been proven that it is easier to get addicted,  but very hard to get out of it.

So the best practice is to safeguard yourself from getting addicted instead of trying to get out of it, Most of the gambling addicts who have come out of addictions have taken a long time and changes to come along which not everybody will be willing to take such route.

Learning from experienced players how to control our gambling habits is the best method to escape addiction. Most times it's best to have them around you in real life, watch how they go about their daily activities, it'll help the addicted player to shape his/her bad gambling attitude. One of the things to learn from experts, may include, managing our money by setting out a specific amount that we must stake for the day. If exhausted gambling for the day ends.

The worst part of addiction, is lack of self control. If an addicted person doesn't manage their funds,  when they go broke, you'll see that such person will do anything possible just to gamble or win. Another good strategy is to stay with people friends or relatives who are not gamblers, join them in their daily activities, like sports or useful discussions. This will help the addicted player to forget gambling for some times, thereby reducing the urge to gamble as usual.

Do you now feel like you have become someone who is addicted to gambling? If so, then you should immediately consult a psychiatrist, they know what you have to do to suppress your desire to gamble, but in several cases i have heard of, there have been successes in stopping gambling addiction after undergoing hypnosis therapy, maybe you can try that method. 

For someone who is new to gambling or has just won, the desire to continue gambling will of course continue to arise and consulting to overcome this is the best way, don't let your addiction get worse, your social activities will be disrupted.

Self-control isn't something easy to have. If you are not an experienced gambler, it is hard to control the emotion when experiencing losses. This emotion leads to more and more attempts in gambling, then we become more often in gambling. Finally, this habits makes us to be addiction. That's because the chance to recover the losses is small, so we always try to expects big wins someday. This expectation makes us to spend bigger funds, when the funds is over we decide to take loan money.

In addition, good self-control will be easy to have if a gambler know well what the gambling is. Unfortunately, many gamblers don't understand what attitude should be in gambling. Chasing wins, expect rich instantly, or wants get stable income from gambling, these the indicators that a gambler doesn't understand well what gambling is.

Gambling can be learnt, but the same will not bring the same result as the person from whom you've learnt it. Gambling is much about luck as well as calculations. One can be good enough to analyse well and keep himself under control. However the goodness and the success relies on the luck one holds. When a person shares his winning/losing story we should be good enough to understand it and experiment with small funds for longer time. This is where most of the beginners mistake. They just take everything positive and go ahead, and end up losing. With gambling we shouldn't be positive all the time, we should know our limits and we should not spend on gambling with the planning of making ourselves millionaires.

Interesting, in most cases, I see the phenomenon of addicts who have difficulty recovering from their addiction. IMO, as far as I know, also referring to my personal experience, self-control does not guarantee that someone will be able to avoid the effects of addiction. Talking about self-control is not as easy as what we talk about. in fact, we have to involve many other elements or factors. For me, self-control is a complement, because there are other elements that are guidelines that gamblers should have if they don't want to become addicts. The problem is, when we play or bet, emotional factors will play a role in our gambling session. When we are in lucky mode, emotions of joy will fill our adrenaline. but in this phase, sometimes we don't know the right time to stop.

On the other hand, in the phase when we experience defeat, emotions will also play a role in our psychology. At this point, what usually arises is the emotion of anger. which in the end, we are triggered to make another deposit. even though, we are very aware that self-control is really needed in phases and situations like this. However, due to the difficulty of controlling ourselves, in the end we get carried away by situations which can ultimately have detrimental effects on ourselves. The point is, to support self-control we need responsibility, understanding about gambling. plus, awareness of the essence of what we are gambling for. Thus, the self-control we have may benefit from activities involving this hobby. Even so, there is nothing wrong with what you said. After all, we have different assumptions and understandings.

Almost but you know the nature of human beings without having money as they've all lost through gambling makes you wanna stop or control it because you have come to realize that it's not that good that you have no more money left. When you have nothing on yourself and you want to gamble, that's actually itching and you don't know what to do because you're uncomfortable with your situation. And if there are gamblers who are still struggling to help themselves and can't stop gambling, you need some realization if it's not doing you any good at all.
To the point that you're no longer the old you and you're spending money a lot and affects the way of your living, seeking professional help is one solution to that. But many gamblers that deal with gambling addiction are too shy to do that because they feel that they might be judged by the people that they'll ask for help, please don't like that. If you want help, then ask for help without thinking you'll be judged.

How big is your addiction level that you feel you need tips to get rid of your gambling addiction?
I'm not really sure that you have a big addiction to gambling because not all of your money is used for gambling. My guess is that you only use a small portion of your money for gambling because you also have other needs.

The desire to stop gambling is a quite positive initiative because it can bring about extraordinary changes to financial management. However, all the advice given will be useless if the motivation from within you is not strong. If so, then no more all such suggestions are nonsense.

Just forget what we have said and we are happy if you can apply everything we have said. Good luck.

I agree with you, when a person got addicted, the first thing that he losses is the self control.  Just like in gambling, a gambler in the beginning have all the control in his gambling engagement but once he got hooked and his discipline starts deteriorating, he will be having a hard time to stop or moderate his own gambling session.  The difference between a gambler when he is starting out is that he can control his gambling urge while when he got addicted to gambling, the urge to gamble in uncontrollable.  So anyone who is addicted really needs a third party support and understanding. Aside from that the gambling addict also needs medical treatment to get cured and at the same time prevent lapses. 

So we should always make sure while we still have control over our gambling session that we gamble responsibly and moderate our engagement with gambling.  Learn from others experience and set it as an example or warning so that we can avoid gambling addiction and keep ourselves sane.

How do you imagine it, someone should constantly be near you while you study? It doesn’t work like that, everything happens the other way, you make a mistake and try to understand what needs to be changed so that it doesn’t happen again, in fact, for this you need to make a lot of mistakes that will help you make your own rules that will help you become a better gambler. If you are unable to learn from mistakes, then no experienced teacher will help you...

The best teacher in terms of gambling is what we have come to tell ourselves, the realities that have come to our faces and one of it is that if we lack the finance to keep playing hugely the way we use to play then our addiction will start to reduce. If you have a reduced playing time because of lack of money and no one to borrow from, naturally the habit will be curtailed to bearest minimum and with time even if we come back, we should have learnt our lessons and play reasonably.

It is not a source of income, this is another factor that will help an addict gambler to be cautious of what he is doing. This factor is difficult to be assimilated by those who see it as source of income but that is the reality, gambling is not a means of source of income because it doesn't profit you all the time.

Maybe you mean that the best teacher in gambling is the first with the bitter experience we have experienced and the second is by looking at the downturn of others, well that's very true, indirectly by for example seeing the downturn of others then surely at least we will be more discouraged to continue gambling, and maybe by trying slowly to stop from that activity. In my opinion, if you have run out of money, it is better for you to rest than to borrow from others to gamble again, because obviously the final result is not necessarily winning but losing is very possible. Remember rest is very important, don't stay there too long because not only do you lose money but you might also get stressed.

Well that's very clear, I also never thought there would be people who have the mindset of gambling to make money or even consistently it's just nonsense. So the point is how can a result that only relies on luck be made as a place to earn income, it doesn't make sense.

The perfect way to break free from gambling addiction is to understand how gambling truly works, know the facts, and accept the facts, gambling is wired in a way that it favors the casinos more than the gamblers.

If you can understand this very well you will see the true image of gambling and it's not worth taking unnecessary risks on, It's not a do-or-die something, your business and your other investment ways are better than gambling.

Those who get addicted to gambling lacks a true understanding of what gambling is, or probably they are the one that is fooling themselves, It's possible to understand gambling and still get addicted but such people are fools, your friend can make a lot of money from gambling and that doesn't mean you will get the same luck.

I guess the simply answer is that your priority is gambling, simply as that. In my case during that time, even if I have work, then I will gamble till the early part of the morning, to the point that I can't go and come to the office the next day because I have lose so much money and then I don't have enough sleep.


Well as for my experience, I really have to learn it the hard way when I lost my job. And so the the following days I have to scramble and how to make money again for my gambling and for my kids and how to bring food in the table. So I guess that is the way up call for me to get out of my gambling addiction and to totally break from it. And with that, although I'm stlll gambling in sports betting and then playing slots in land base and offline, I come to realized that I have been wrong in the past with myself becoming a gambling addict.

I am confused about how much gambling addiction I experience today, because there are no concrete parameters to indicate the level or amount.
The small amount of money that I budget for my gambling is true, but sometimes there are many X factors that make me make deposits continuously, whether it's the environment, feelings and others that can make me impulsive in gambling, so with advice from friends it will be useful for me .

I opened this thread based on my personal desire to find out what I should do, if I didn't care about advice maybe I wouldn't open this thread, that's logical.
And these past few days I've been doing it gradually, and I think I'm better than before.

According to statistics, only a small percentage of players recover from gambling addiction on their own. This is because the approach to treatment draws attention to many factors:
1) the age of the player - I think the younger the player, the harder his gambling addiction is. Young people do not know how to earn money with an honest qualified shopping mall, and when they win and get a large amount of money, they are almost unstoppable.
2) the presence of gamblers-friends and how many of them are dependent - no comments here, the environment strongly affects us.
3) the presence of money in the family - the rich are more addicted.

Aren't you offended by what I have said. I think that is not true because you know that the discussion you are making is for the purpose of change for gambling addicts even though other members have already opened topics like this.

You want to know why I asked you about the level of addiction you have. Many people ask how to stop addiction even though they only mean something else, one of which is to make them look serious about it.
The old me barely knew how to stop making deposits to be able to play. Not enough from morning to evening, continue again at night. Not much if the exchange rate is in dollars, but if the exchange rate is in fiat currency, a day and a night are quite large.

I give advice based on my experience. So now I've stopped playing. The answer is no. I still actively play but only on weekends at football matches.
A close friend of mine once asked me how I could stop using my old habits. After I gave it to him and he couldn't do it until now his habit hasn't changed. That's what I mean, it's useless to give advice or ways to stop addiction given by everyone on this topic if there is no motivation from within yourself.

Hopefully you can get through it.

By default I've always grow the fear of gambling addiction and that's coming from experience in my local area where lives of men turned upside down because of gambling addiction, they later result into drinking heavily and that makes them turn into drunkard because they can't get over the losses and damages they have done.

It's terrifying as a kid to grow up seeing such things unfold and at that time I have always promised my parents to never grow up to be a gambler, I know that gambling is not the issue here but the impact it could create on someone's life is very scary.

Today I do gamble on a few casinos but damn I am very active inside of me, the past stories of those men living close to us still haunt me, I don't want to end up like them that's why I cautiously engage in gambling activities.

It's the fear that make you avoid being an addict. Maybe it's a good thing I guess? Though you still gamble with the caution of not turning into an addict. Being addicted to something really turn the table upside down, there are bunch of vices that you can be addicted but one thing is for sure, it can possibly destroy your life and gradually affect you in aspects of life like mentally, physically and financially. I myself learned from my own experience of being an addict and now that I recovered, I'm trying my best not to be the same man that is being destroyed because of gambling addiction.

I am not speaking of personal experience but I have witnessed someone making a big comeback from gambling addiction.

I remembered that my friend used to tell me stories about his relative that was suffering from drug and gambling addiction. It came to a point where that person sold the personal belongings of his mother just to satisfy the cravings of drug and gambling addiction. In fact, there were also times were this addict threatened his own life while he was so high with drugs. But after that experience, everything went uphill due to his urge to change his lifestyle.

My friend told me that the journey took roughly years for him to recover and be sober. Gladly enough, that relative is now 7 years sober and he is drug and gambling-free!

Fear has always been connoted as something that is cowardly, but I think having fear is actually a great thing because it helps us to be cautious and careful about such things. It help us to avoid possible consequences that we might encounter along the way. I am sorry to hear that you have to experience and witness such things at such a very young age. But what you've done is right, you turn those experiences into a positive thing and make it as a lesson so that you will not have to experience what these men had suffered from. But still, these gambling addicts need attention and care, because if we took immediate action we can stop their addiction from getting worse.

I have never been addicted to gambling before , but I have have a couple of friends who have been addicted to gambling, though it was a long time ago and we are separated now, but before we got separated, one of them managed to gain freedom from the addiction, but this was after he gambled away money a group of individuals contributed and gave him to keep, probably that was when his eyes got opened and he realized how much damage gambling has done to him, he was arrested and he spent about 3 months in a police cell, there was no gambling facility there so probably his long stay in the cell without access to gambling helped him heal from the addiction .

When he eventually came out from police custody after 3 months, he wasnt gambling anymore, when you talk to him about gambling, he assumes you are mocking him and picks up a fight with you ..

We still communicate on the phone though and I am glad he is doing really well today, even though he now gambles again from time to time, he is no longer addicted to it .

That's true because if the gambler has no serious awareness and intention, he will not be able to stop or reduce his gambling activities. Everything will return to the person who lives it, and even if someone forces him to stop gambling, he still can't stop, and he might gamble secretly. And even though his life has become poor, he still cannot give up gambling, he will return to gambling, but maybe his gambling will adjust to his finances. Gambling activities are only for fun and entertainment, so they cannot use it as a way to make money, let alone passive income. They should know that it will be difficult for them to win regularly because gambling is not designed to give wins to the gambler but to the casino.

It seems like a dice roll can impart a semester's worth of life lessons. However, "discouraged to continue gambling" may be underestimated. Do you think watching someone else fall might make you want to win, ironically? Borrowing money to keep gambling is clearly a terrible decision. More casino debts are like holes on a sinking ship - the faster you sink. Gambling as a source of income is like chasing rainbows for gold. The charm fades under inspection. Unpredictability is a career gamble, not a business model

@Accardo also have a point and we should give him that, but I think there's something missing because you can never have both when it comes to these things. I know what he is trying to say but what he is trying to suggest is also a very risky path because instead of learning from other's mistake by keeping them near, they will in turn give you a negative impact and you will be a gambler as well even before you realized it. Taking this path is not easy but if you're courageous enough, then it's up to you but you should know the risks and its consequence if it turns out trouble along the road.

If you find the people who had quit the gambling after the addiction,you can use their strategy to reduce the gambling activities.Many gamblers won’t quit the gambling after the advice from the other friends.Because his mind will not accept the other words,the gambler start to play the game secretly.Some gambler are taking the gambling as the serious one,they forgot the fact gambling is just for the fun.The gambling had the enough entertainment giving possibilities.The gambler should use the gambling to get away from all the stress factor due to their real job stress.

You will not get addicted if you know how to handle things yourself and just having an idea what these addicts will do will be sufficient enough for you to stay in the safe zone. Gambling might be hard to ignore but this is just a challenge that we need to endure if we are really inclined to gamble and we need to face it so that we cannot be one of those list who need help but chose not to because they don't know how deep they are already.

That's right, I experienced it, several years ago, I ignored someone's advice not to play every day. but I actually play every day. Until finally I used the money I saved and ran out.  ::)The only thing stopping me is the limited money I can spend. Plus other unexpected events that made me responsible for my brother's debts, this situation not giving me possibility gambling. Can I stop? No, I still gamble sometimes, but not so intensely anymore, and only use small amounts of money from campaign, when i feel i can use it to gamble.

I don't know why people have very negative about gambling. Like when they hear the word gambling, the first thing that comes to their mind is addiction, next is losing money and their home.  Maybe it's true because many people broke their life from it because they cannot control themselves and  that what you need to observe. The problem is not the gambling industry doing their business. The problem is the person participating yet they are not ready for the risk.

The real challenge is not in the probabilities of each bet. The real battle is inside the psychology of those unprepared to gamble.

While many demonize gambling as the root cause of addiction and financial ruin, isn't it time we shift the blame from the industry to the individual? After all, countless activities can lead to addiction, but we don't vilify them all. Maybe it's the lack of self-control and inability to understand risk that's truly at fault. Let's stop blaming the game and start holding players accountable for their choices.

I have not be addicted to gambling before but I have been able to successfully break free from other maladaptive habits. If you don't mind, I will be happy to share  how I broke free which is basically the same core principles of breaking free from any other addiction.

-First, be honest with yourself and the fact that you need to break free from the addiction
- Second, talk to someone about it. The person could be a therapist, a close friend. Someone you trust and you know would help you fight through.
- Third, eliminate if possible all items or objects that could serve as a trigger for the addictive behaviour
- Fourth, find a new habit to replace the old one. This will help you have something to fall back on when you feel the urge or something to keep you occupied.
- Fifth, join a community of people who are on the same path with you.

These may sound simplistic but I know they are not however, since other people have beat the addiction you too can.

People can go through various stages of life, some start off with very little money and prospects - maybe throwing away any spare change they can get on different habits, like gambling or drugs. Then, one of two things will happen - they either burn through it, wake up to the realization that they fell too deep into the hole and decide not to hit it again or they sink entirely. Those who get a grasp and remove themselves from the temptation for a period of time, maybe a year or maybe ten, can get stronger once they regain their feeling of self control. They move on to a new stage of life, hopefully growing wiser from their previous experiences and they may have enough control at one point to gamble once or twice a year in the right setting.

Somewhere, even on a subconscious level, you want to play, win and prove to those who told you not to play every day that they were wrong. So there is an opposite effect from those who give such advice. At least I think that's what I would do.
The question that worries me is, what if you win the jackpot, what will you do then, continue to play every day or finally stop? If you continue to play, then this is pure addiction to the game.

Sure. If we always gamble in the right way and never gamble excessively, we can avoid the addiction. We need to be discipline and has he some limitations, so we can handle everything properly. I suggest that we have certain rules for ourselves in gambling, we need to obey the rules for healthy gambling. For example, we limit the time to gamble in each day, may be around 2 hours as the maximum time. Then, we need to allocate the maximum funds to use daily. And we must to remind ourselves to never take a loan for gambling. If we obey these rules, I think we can avoid addiction.

---

*We limit the time and funds allocation daily, but doesn't mean we must gamble everyday. There should be time for no gambling time. On weekend, it will be better to gather with family and lovely friends.  ;)

I have never been addicted to gambling, however all the addictions despite their superficial differences are roughly the same, a person will need a period of a full year to detox themselves from an addiction, also it is often recommended that unless absolutely necessary you never engage on the same activity to which you were addicted.

And this is because even if you can control it you are only one mistake away from becoming addicted again, and some therapists go even further than that and prefer that you even avoid places and people which may lead you in that direction again.

Few years ago, i'm a kind of gambler who gamble without discipline. I forgot my responsibilities to my family and rarely go out with friends because I prefer to just gamble. Gambling is more enjoyable and the thought of winning really gave me the eagerness to continue what i'm doing. I started playing in moderation then I became out of control. What changed me is when I almost lost my family due to gambling. I took a vacation away from the city and gadgets (everything that can tempt me to gamble) with the support of my family. It's not easy but if you're determine to overcome your gambling addiction then you can definitely change for the better. I'm still playing now but not often unlike before.

Yes, this mistake arises due to the lack of responsibility of individuals in gambling, so they become addicted and have difficulty curing their gambling addiction. They really need to realize that they have a gambling addiction so they need to go to a professional who can help them cure their gambling addiction. Each gambling addict can block the thought or desire to gamble but unfortunately, this is lost to the urge to gamble and many of them are even unable to resist the urge to gamble. If they are willing to learn to overcome their desire to gamble, they will see opportunities to do other things that have nothing to do with gambling. They need encouragement to do something different from their routine activities, where they need to create or build new activities.

Yes, this can be due to a lack of responsibility and also maybe they are not strict enough with all the boundaries that they have previously set up, oh yes in my opinion, especially if they have a personality that is easily provoked or provoked by something that makes them emotional so they are very likely to get caught there. I think they have realized that they are addicted and I am sure they also want to stop or get out of the addiction zone but well maybe you also know or have felt how it is there, it is very difficult to get out of gambling addiction my friend, the brain and mind are like something is taking over, honestly I have felt it. Asking for professional help maybe it can, but I don't think it will work because professionals are still the same gamblers who can even do things they don't want at all. But I think a good alternative to quitting or quitting the addiction is maybe you can find a new hobby that is just as fun but without the risk, you can find an activity like adding a job maybe, because slowly I think you will be able to forget about gambling.

Yes that's right, basically it's very difficult, but if they really want to stop then there must be ways they can do it, don't just talk through words but start with action, that's all I think.

It's true, the desire to get a lot of money through gambling and get one life changed is basically what makes everyone gamble more even after losing. It's a strong feeling when you are deprived of the things that you like to have in your life and you see others having them. You keep thinking of the ways that can provide you with at least the possibility of gaining everything you want, and gambling is the easiest way that provides the possibility for people to achieve their goals.

However, people don't consider the fact that gambling is not a guaranteed way of achieving everything, and only a very small possibility doesn't mean that one spends everything they have or earns on gambling because whether you will get something or not from gambling is totally dependent on your luck.

After I hit the jackpot, I was still playing at that time. I played the next day and some days of the week I used some of my winnings to gamble again. At that time, everything is still under control, there are no problems in mylife. Until the money from the jackpot runs out, I use is the money I saved. In fact, I always refused to be considered addicted, because I thought, I only played 1 season in 1 day, with a certain amount of money. But, when I lost, the next day I played, I always hoped for the jackpot, and continued to do so. That's when I admitted that I was addicted. However, financial problems have a positive effect for me in reducing gambling, for the first time I'm able to stay away from gambling even not opening the gambling account that I have.

I have been gambling for many years already and up to now I still continue to gamble regularly. For many years of experience, the was only one time when I had regrets when I gambled amounts that I considered right now as bigger than I could afford to lose although during that time the amounts were tolerable since I was very liquid.

I know that even educated people can still be addicted to gambling. It is very hard to control our emotions so the best way to plan before starting to play or bet. Make a limit on our bets and the amount should not hurt us if we are to lose. Also, it is necessary to make time limits for our gambling activities. Set an alarm if possible so we can stop at the right time. The is a lot of stuff to do rather than gamble all day long.

I think the moment you used all the money you have win from winning the jackpot, it is considered addicted. Because to continue playing even after winning and you starts losing, it gives you the thinking of maybe the next one will make you win. It's not an obvious act but this is actually the beginning of addiction.

It is true that due to lack of self control gamblers are more at risk actually there is no fault of the game here but it is better to control yourself. If not controlled in time gambling tendencies can reach addiction. Addiction often creates an unstable emotional state, with a greater tendency to react with irritability and anger and hostility toward the constant upheaval of the day. We should not forget that the indomitable nature of participating in online gambling underestimates the harmful potential of this type of addiction and the symptoms it manifests through.

Yes, it's true that this is the initial characteristic of people who are addicted to gambling or are still considered not very mature, they are still new players, even people who have been gambling for a long time know when they have to stop gambling and withdraw their winnings as soon as possible from the casino, usually new players still don't. controlled from greed so that when you win you still want to get an even bigger win to get rich quickly.

To be honest, I was like that in the past, but after learning a lot from defeat, I realized that it is not victory that must be pursued, but defeating the feeling of greed within myself because that will make it easier for me to use a healthy mindset when gambling, fortunately I am gambling now. just to have fun nothing more, always have a limited budget for gambling so when I win I will withdraw the money but if I lose, let's just say I paid for the entertainment because it makes me happy.

They might go on this way if they follow someones activity especially those influencer. Its hard to follow them since we don't know they show realistic result or just a fake one that's why gamble on your own pace and always in right mind to decide whether what condition you are experiencing on. Would be so hard if we get addicted since no one will take charge to help us but only ourselves if we go thru this condition so always bare in mind thag game responsibly.

The first step is to admit your mistake. That way, you will be able to see the problem and devise a solution. However, although you know the solution, the challenging part is the implementation of the solution. When a gambler is addicted, it's their emotions that dictate them, not their mind, and a lack of intelligence can be very risky, as it can lead to bigger problems.

It's not easy, but it's not impossible. Just keep learning and learning, and eventually, you'll end up becoming a disciplined gambler if you haven't become homeless yet.

Yeah, we can say a gambler is win in gambling when he already become a responsible gambler.

Gambling surely make we lose our money in the long run, we need to understand when to continue and stop during gambling. If we're already make a good amount of profit, we should need to quit and then celebrate our winning. If we're lose, we also need to quit and don't deposit anymore, just play again tomorrow and hope it will be your's day.

As far as I know there is no gambler who only gambles once a week because it is an addictive drug like cigarettes which is hard to give up. On the other hand you cannot earn certain money from gambling so it is not really ideal in your personal life. According to me rich people can gamble because they have enough money to back up but a common man can be destitute when he gambles. I gamble but when I have more capital it is a secret from the society and I don't always tell the family. I expand the money I earn from gambling into other businesses but always keep my thoughts straight.

Yes. That exactly describes my situation. I once in my lifetime lost all my savings on gambling. 5 digit sum in usd. Had panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. I didn't seek medical advice but was consulted by friends and family. I can't say I'm totally in control of my gambling but till date after the incident, I have remained calm and not lost more than I was thinking of as my betting budget. There were times I lost quicker than I thought, or some spare coins I was thinking of doing something else. But not even in 3 digits sum.

Yes it is best decision to learn only from someone who has experience. Because those who have experience have the best practical knowledge of a things. Educational knowledge alone cannot make anyone successful. If one has experience, even if he has no educational knowledge, he is capable of doing good things more than an educated person. So knowing something from an experienced person is most helpful

My friend, I hope you just made that up to write this post as a simple requirement to meet your posting quota in this section, otherwise I don't know what the hell you are doing writing in this section and continuing to gamble.

If you once lost your life savings you have to stop gambling forever, and think about gambling as little as possible, because you are one step away from losing it all again and even more (there are those who besides losing everything they have, ask for loans and lose them too).


Seek help and and leave all gambling forever. If you have a problem with gambling you have to stop like an alcoholic. You can't drink even a little drop anymore.

Balancing expenses with income is one solution to reducing gambling habits. Good financial management will prevent you from becoming a gambler who cannot control yourself even when experiencing financial difficulties. Prioritize family needs, then think about the level of savings you have accumulated. If everything is neatly arranged, you can channel your desire to gamble without experiencing long-term effects in your daily life.

After getting a big win then spending it again on betting and thinking if tomorrow will win again it's very natural and almost every gambler has thoughts like that and it's actually a small impact or simple sign of addiction that will continue to happen and I agree with @Apocollapse if the gambler You have to be responsible when gambling, you have to know when to stop, even if you are winning or losing, at least knowing the right time to stop is better than having to chase a bigger win, spending your first win and thinking that tomorrow you will win again.

I think every gambler should have thoughts as stated by some people here to have better emotional control without having to chase losses or chase jackpots from gambling which is very misleading in the long run and that must be avoided.

Involving a professional is not always necessary, the most important thing is for an addicted person to accept their addiction and acknowledge the fact that they are in a problem and they need someone's help to get out of it, and then someone from their closed ones like friends and family members can help them with that by finding activities that they like and keeping them engaged with those activities and also not leaving them alone at any given time.

If they are trying to cure someone's addiction and then they leave them alone for very long, the addict will most probably start gambling again once they get lonely and when they see that there is no one to stop them. So, it's important that there is at least one person who is always around the addicted person.

Find other ways to keep yourself entertained. Talk to people and try to go out for a walk or travel places. It's all about keeping yourself away from the thing that you are addicted to. But the most important thing is, you need to make a mindset where you want to avoid getting addicted. Others can only do so less. It's you who needs to have the will to stop it from happening. People around can give you advice or close ones can do something to keep you away from gambling. But when they are not around, you are most likely to get addicted again.

Make up your mind to not get addicted and follow some self-made rules that you think will keep you away from this. Find some other activity that can give you the same feeling as gambling. You can divert your mind to that and you will not become addicted to gambling for sure. It's all about the chemical reaction that happens in our brains. So searching an alternative is the best idea.

I'm glad that at the moment you have everything under control. But in my opinion, you need constant adrenaline in life, I think you can't live without it. If you win the jackpot, then you continue to play, with a high degree of probability you will lose all the money from the jackpot (sorry for being blunt, but this is what happens to most). You will go into a state of debt. Debt makes you play less, which means you will be in one of these 2 states. It looks like a sine wave graph. With such sine wave graph you must have nerves of steel.

A very normal thought or thinking that you could really be having on the time that you do make out some wins on which you would really be mainly thinking that you should really be that betting even more so that you could really be having the chance on making more winnings which we know that it is really that a common behavior of most gamblers. You would really be that trying out snip out every possible wins that you could be able to get on but we know on how gambling chances do works or the odds that showing which we know that it is always against with us gamblers and this is something you should really be realizing.If you dont find yourself that having the good control then most likely you would really be ending up on a disaster or something a situation on which you hadnt been able to anticipate. Good financial management and control towards yourself
is always been the key on making yourself do abel to avoid possible addiction on which most people do suffer. If you do find yourself already getting impulsive on things when it comes to spending then this is the
right time that you should really be that trying out to stop or having a break because if you do tolerate out such impulsive behavior then it might potentially be leading into that severe addiction which would really be
leading into those non fortunate conditions or something that you dont really like to happen.

Yeah, my mind always thinking if I'm not addicted yet, but the $2000 jackpot and use the $1000 to play and ran out, making me wanted to hit another jackpot. I never increase the bet. wich max. $0.8, and never do more than that. This debt makes me learn something, if someone can't stop to play, give the money access to someone they trust. Me, after I'm lose a lot of my winning jackpot, I only have access to my crypto wallet, for my fiat wallet I give the access to my wife, to stop my addict. Also, do something to forget the slots. Not just a debt, help me to control the time to gamble, but also use my free time to play a MOBA game.

It is lucky that you only regret 1 time and you can take a lesson from it. There are gamblers who regret many times but they never take the lessons from the mistakes. I think you can easily take the lesson because you aren't an addict. It will be difficult when you are an addict, you have an intention to gamble in a better way but you can't.

Sure, even people who have good knowledge and experienced enough, still get difficulty to control emotion. It is because the emotion is related to our desires to chase winnings. That's why we need to limit time and funds, it is functioned to stop our unlimited desires in gambling. If we have no limitations in gambling, we probably end up with an excessive gambling.

They have to be knocked out by the reality that it is not going to do them any good when they're addicted. Looking for ways on how to divert the attention is easy but staying on that activity is going to be their battle.

All the thoughts that play in our minds is also has something to do with how we can overcome gambling addiction. Many struggles and needed actual help in the best that they can and every potential help is what they really need to have because the motivations won't be enough, showing them the bad results of being addicted would probably just going to give them some slight thoughts but it is still not enough to change their minds.

Good for you if you can make profits and still be disciplined.
But I tell you, there may be gamblers that really play once a week or just during their off to work, Saturday or Sunday. It can happen especially those who are just betting on sports. Most events happen during Saturday night so there's a chance he is only doing that on that day. It's different with casino players, there may be those who also play on weekends but there are more gamblers who do it every day since gambling sites in this era are easy to access.
In my case, I gamble small and try to pursue the jackpot and when my balance is gone I rest for a long time until I have saved enough money to play again. In that kind of strategy I somehow made some money and a big part of that money is spent for the family so I am happy with it.
On OP's question on how to avoid it, be busy with something else. That will really help a lot if you are always occupied with something and be sure that you love that activity.

That should be done because if not you'll struggle financially. There are other gamblers that are doing this but there are still a few that can't manage their finances because they tend to bet more than prioritize their needs and this kind of person needs help. One of the motivations to do is thinking negatively like if you bet this amount your family will struggle or if the money intended for gambling is better spent on food for the family. Before engaging in gambling consider your needs and those of your family.

A lack of responsibility will clearly cause a person to be unable to stick with the boundaries he has created so that he thinks it is okay to violate his boundaries once or twice. But it turns out that will only make them violate their boundaries more often than they thought. They will be easily provoked just by seeing the attractive offers issued by the casino so they return to gambling and this time, they use even more money. Yes, I have felt it and know it is very difficult to get out of your comfort zone in gambling. This comfort zone in gambling must be decided so that we can get out of the endless circle and start to leave gambling without feeling forced slowly. And even if we feel forced to, we really have to do it to reduce our gambling activities until we finally stop gambling completely.

We just have to keep trying to do it and because we already have the desire to reduce gambling activities, we have the thought of starting something new or creating a new activity that we will use to divert our minds. We have to start with real action and it's okay if we still can't turn our thoughts about gambling completely because we are still in the learning stage. But we have to keep trying so that we can really reduce gambling activities.

If a gambling addict can accept his addiction and try to heal it with someone or several people close to him, maybe it can be done well so that the gambling addict does not need to go to a professional. That would be better so it would reduce the cost of consulting a professional. But, gambling addicts must try hard to reduce their addiction and even stop gambling. He needs to find a new activity and start it with people who help him take his mind off thinking about gambling. This distraction is necessary because it blocks the desire to gamble so that he can focus on doing his new activity with the people who help him.

If the gambling addict does not regularly engage in new activities, there is a possibility that he will return to the casino again, especially if he still has free time. He will only pay attention to gambling but over time, there will be a desire to start gambling again and that's when he will gamble again. And if he experiences a gambling addiction again, maybe it will be more difficult to help him because he feels that the help this time will be the same as before. People who want to help him have to try hard to persuade him to want to do his activities again and this time, they have to be really serious about doing it together.

There's a reason why people like that continue to bet more even after managing their finances. It could be because of having a mindset that if they continue to bet, they will be able to return their losses, or maybe thinking that just one more bet and probably the chance to win again.

Addiction is a bad habit that is difficult to get rid of, but even though it is difficult it all depends on the addict's intention, if the intention is higher then it will be easy to get rid of the addiction, but if it is not high then it will be difficult to get rid of the addiction, sometimes habits that are already Being attached will be difficult to just stop, it may take a long process and time to get out of all those feelings.

At least slowly reduce gambling activities and also stay away from the internet if you are addicted to online gambling, but if you gamble in offline casinos, just avoid that place and can do other hobby activities for some time then return to gambling as usual, so that when you reduce it slowly will help reduce one's confidence in gambling, sometimes gambling requires less confidence to play, the less self-confidence there will be, resulting in a desire to stop completely. That's the experience of a friend of mine who has quit his gambling addiction.

I have never experienced being addicted to gambling, and I know that it is not good for a gambler to end up in such a situation. Because it will not be easy for a gambling addict to get out of such a situation in real life. But when a gambling addict overcomes that, he will be a role model to other people for sure, because he has experience and it can be a reason for others not to try to not gamble if they also know about themselves. that they cannot control themselves from gambling. Apparently, the mistake made by others will be a lesson to the inexperienced and they will also be aware because of the testimony of a former gambling addict.

First thing first, fear gambling addiction, when that fear is alive inside you, it will keep you safe from going addicted with gambling, I think you should read stories about how many lives were turned upside down because of gambling, look at the lives of people who solely believe in gambling, you will feel pity for them.

Wake up to reality, because many gamblers are living in dreams, they put all their hopes on gambling, and they want the best things of life from gambling, this is totally wrong, if you don't see that all these is wrong, your expectations will end up putting you in troubles.

Gambling addiction can brainwashed anyone, it steals your life from you and it's on you to fight and take it all back, like I've said, wake up to reality, if your life can be immediately turned around

Special treatment is needed regarding addicted gamblers because it will be much more difficult to cure them if they are not treated properly. Addicted gamblers usually have a tendency to hallucinate their winnings and for this reason they have difficulty stopping, so creating another activity is one thing that can make them stop gambling. I am not an addicted gambler, but what I feel is that gambling can be avoided when we have other activities and have much more productive activities.

For gamblers who are addicted, it may be quite difficult to manage financial management in gambling because usually they will continue to gamble. Except for ordinary gamblers like us who have the ability to manage the finances we spend when gambling because maybe we set a monthly or weekly budget for gambling.

Stopping gambling will be very difficult if it is not taken seriously by experienced people and if the encouragement from those closest to you is not strong enough it will make it difficult for them to stop, especially if there is no desire from that person to stop gambling

Well of course, as I said above and maybe because firstly they are less strict in implementing it and secondly they seem to have a high sense of interest or curiosity so whatever they have prepared seems to be in vain because after that they might immediately break their own rules. Yes you have also felt it and indeed it is difficult, maybe other people's advice will also not be too influential for them and in my opinion only they can only do it themselves because only they know what is best to do. They (addicted gamblers) are comfortable with doing everything there but honestly I'm sure they must also be tired of their financial problems because they always allocate whatever they have, especially money, just to gamble and finally lose.

So in my opinion to reduce these activities you have to have new activities that are more fun, because I am very sure that slowly you will be able to get out of that comfort zone but but you have to consistently do it, that's all I think.

And that means assertiveness is very necessary, apart from self-control and others, to avoid things that could make them gamble again. They also have to avoid being curious about anything coming from the casino so that it doesn't tempt them to continue gambling. For gamblers who have often experienced loss, they may feel tired and in the end, they may become discouraged by the results they get, so there is a possibility that they will stop gambling on their own. And if they can feel such boredom, maybe it is the best time to completely leave gambling because they are not getting good results during gambling.

Getting out of your comfort zone is difficult but it can still be done so they have to really try hard. Never give up on a situation but use it as a motivation to leave your comfort zone and achieve what you want. And they must regularly carry out new activities to produce the good results they want.

It's a good advice to have other recreational activities aside from gambling. Making other hobbies could possibly divert your attention, time, and money supposedly allocated for gambling which can reduce your dependency on it. You'll also have some other things to be an outlet by finding other things to enjoy upon that will not take a toll on your mental health. But of course, one must fully acknowledge and accepts that he is addicted so it can be resolved.

Treating addiction isn't an overnight process. You might experience a relapse if you won't follow your medication and the advices of the professionals. You can try indeed reduce gambling interaction, then build it as a habit to develop.

This will be a very good option to reduce the desire to gamble because with new activities that make us forget about gambling, gradually this will be like a stimulus for us that can just free ourselves from gambling that has become an addiction. It's just that in this case the level is that when finding something new that is more fun it must be seen first the pleasure we find because in the end if the new pleasure we have has a negative impact it is the same as getting out of the lion's cage and entering the crocodile's cage which makes us trapped again.

But if the new thing is something positive then obviously it is very good, I personally for things like this always get together with some colleagues and family to just chat and relax to fill the time with small talk and it is still quite effective for myself to forget about gambling even though I still do gambling but I can limit it now.

This is why self-willingness is the key. But as long as we keep gambling and not divert our minds to other things, we will never be able to understand that. Let me give you an example that I have experienced. There's a game called 8 Ball Pool available for smartphones. I used to play that all day long. I won't say that I got addicted to it but from time to time, one thing that came to my mind was how can I play it better or calculate the possibilities of what to do in the next match. Kinda like it got stuck in my head. I was thinking about it even when I was not playing it.

Then I uninstalled the game. Try some other games. Not only a single one but multiple games. That helped me to forget about that 8 Ball Pool game. Now I don't even play the other games and I can focus on other things. I know it's not as complicated as gambling addiction but doing something like this really helps. In order to keep on it, all you need is self-willingness.

The people I should consider experienced in gambling are those who have been able to conquer greed and addiction and have remained profitable from gambling. I don't consider the length of time anyone spend in gambling as experience as I am result oriented.

The first step in becoming a successful gambler is to develop the psychological balance needed to survive in the business. This comes by first recognising that gambling is a game of probabilities that can go either ways. The next phase is being able to manage risk properly to avoid the depression that comes with loosing one's total savings in gambling.

Truly, gambling can be very profitable if luck aligns with proper psychology and skill.


I love how you emphasized the need to avoid addiction in gambling. Actually, addition in anything is always bad because it makes for irrational decisions. Since gambling involves using one's money, addition can be a very huge torture to anyone who is caught up in it.

That is very much better instead of wasting your time towards gambling as you are only risking your life away, you know there are some wins on the process but what if you will have more losses because you don't actually have a thing towards it then you already know what will happen to you in case that happens. Just try to imagine it, you will already know the answer yourself that is why it is much better to take another hobby, a hobby that will be an investment for you to earn more money while risking the losses.

Like other activities, games can capture our attention and become part of our everyday routine. From 8 Ball Pool to gambling may seem like a big difference, yet the core is control and limitations.

I appreciate you sharing your game-distance trip. Sometimes the greatest way to disrupt a pattern is diversion. You suggested trying different games, which reminded me of slot gamblers like me who switch machines to change our luck or break the monotony. This is the catch: the willingness to pause, take a breather, and change strategies.

In gambling and life, understanding oneself is as important as playing the odds. Your method shows the value of reflection and discipline.

A game that doesn't include wagering will do the trick to make your mind busy and forget about gambling once in a while but trying a different game that still falls down under gambling? It sounds the same to me because you are still putting yourself at risk and eventually your family will also suffer if you cannot control your habits.
I know it sounds easy but that is the main challenge of it and we need to endure it as hard as we can so that we can be free from any problems along the road. Gambling is good, but too much of everything is already dangerous.

The important thing is to learn from the experience of gamblers who are old in this field and have been playing regularly. They will tell you how much important is money management in gambling. Also, they will give us the realistic picture that gambling is not all about making money, it is more about risking money to make or lose our money.

Another thing which I noted is that new gamblers are usually not willing to get knowledge from the experienced ones and they are more keen on playing themselves and learning through experience.  :-\

People who have more hallucinations are those who have made big profits from gambling, or max wins from their games. I also think I have this virus, and the step I prioritize today is to keep myself busy, as several people have said. gave advice, and indeed it was quite helpful, such as reading books, sports and so on, so that my thinking became wiser day by day in thinking about gambling.

I don't have anyone who knows my current situation, so they look at me as normal, because my addiction is not that prominent, so they don't know about it, and you have to know, this is really my desire without any other encouragement from people around me to help get rid of the addiction, it's difficult, but I'm sure I can control it in a few weeks after getting used to productive activities.

I've heard and seen a lot of addicted gamblers that has the same intention and that's to quit and reduce their addiction. But majority of them didn't conquered it despite of having that intention because it's just not enough to have the motivation but also the thing they do is an important factor too. The willingness and the heart that they're putting on it is another key for them to actually win over it or at least reduce the habit.

I agree about that, the attitude, being willing to conquer addiction is setting their own foundation. And with that example that has happened to you, when we're spending a lot of time from doing a thing, that makes us wonder on how to become better from it and it just gets stuck to our mind until we don't notice that we're spending a lot of time and resources from it. Good thing that you're able to overcome it.

Actually its not really that necessary on reading or hearing up others experiences since we could really be able to eventually find out and realized for ourselves on how things should really be that
done or whatever things that sensible on doing so but somewhat hearing or reading up others experiences would really be adding up that additional awareness and knowledge which you might not really be able to learn with and this is the advantage on having that kind of behavior on trying to read up others situation when it comes to various situations or conditions which it would really be saving you up or something  that relevant on your part. Newbies doesnt usually loves to hear out or read up other peoples experiences on which they would really be following and doing things that they do have in mind and dont care nor mind about those past results or outcomes came from other people as long they would really be getting in line with their own decisions and interest then they would really be proceeding it until they would be experiencing some unfortunate stuffs then this is where self realizations would happen and regrets do always happen at the end.

Well, I am not a regular gambler and I have never been an addicted gambler, but with the stories of those regular gamblers, I can limit myself from gambling so I can not end up being a gambling addict.

I believe these stories you have heard about how bad gambling can be and what it can cause when you turn into an addicted gambler. In this case, I have seen some gamblers who are too addicted to gambling, and a lot of these people are big guys that had money before but not their money are no were to be found because they have used their money to gamble and now they are left out with nothing.

Some days ago, while I was going to the market, I passed through a betting shop and I found someone strictly necked and I asked some people around what was happening and they told me that the guy gambled with his house and lost the bet and now he's frustrated and his frustrations have led him to go necked outside the shop.
So, my conclusion is to always limit yourself from gambling so you will not lose everything.

There are two types of addicted gamblers in my opinion, those that made some mistakes and turned to heavy gamblers but unrealizing their mistakes, they take correction and adjust the way they play and the other are gamblers that turned to be an addicted gambler but failed to take correction about the habit of gambling. If you are a serious gambler and a very concerned one for that, you don't need any one to share their experience or how they got out because the situation might be different, yours could be as a result of over playing and mine could be as a result of making wrong choice of bets.

So, play your thing and keep up with what you do best, don't over depends on gambling, when you lost, take a break and if it's minor, change strategy and your skill, luck will locate you the next time you bet.

Actually in this case I don't like to say gambling is a waste of time because I consider gambling as one of the activities for myself to release my tired life and play with fun every week so in this case I don't consider it a waste of my time with the fun I have.
It is not really a problem to be in gambling but the problem is when we are not able to control ourselves which makes the gambling activities we do actually lead to negativity. The context is still around that so to do gambling I consider it not a problem but with a note that we must know the limits and self-control that we practice both in time management and financial management.

I was about to say this too. You need something else that doesn't include gambling. If you are switching between games but still gambling, you cannot move from gambling. We need to find an alternative that does not include gambling but would give us the same feelings/dopamine release. Self-willingness and a way to divert our minds will be the best course of action if we focus on changing our gambling habits.

Also, a game having the same characteristics as gambling games will not help as much as the other games could help. It's so easy to access many games available for smartphones, PC, and all other platforms. If someone is unable to play physical games, they can always choose one form them. Then again, if that person lacks the will to do it, then will is as hard as it should be. You can access all the gambling platforms right in your hand. With a smartphone and an internet connection. So have the will to do it and there are many easy ways that could lead you to make that happen.

Most gambling addicts experience this problem and I have friends who are addicted to gambling which was initially quite difficult to advise and even he did not listen to parents. I once asked him why it was so difficult to stop playing gambling "he answered because it always hallucinating gets big wins". Thus encouraging the desire to continue to play and increasingly difficult to get out of the addiction. Luckily after being taken to a rehabilitation place at this time he has been separated from addiction, busy with positive activities and sports is also one of the ways that can be done because in rehabilitation they also practice it besides touching psychology.

Maybe the level of addiction that you are experiencing is not too severe, so by busy with yourself in more positive activities can provide cure slowly. But I doubt people who are already addicted to being severe in gambling to heal themselves without being helped by others and are lucky if at this time you can control yourself so that you can be responsible every time you want to gamble.

Yes, more precisely it can be said that I am rehabilitating myself independently, it is difficult to heal from that addiction, I have a long time to this day in healing, maybe if I want to be faster to recover, it needs to be helped by experts, but that Too risky for me who doesn't want to be discovered that I am a gambler.

They recognize me an investor, so when I suffered a big loss to sell a car and a family motorbike I thought that I suffered a loss in investing, yes it was quite impossible if I had not felt it, as I said that healing independently requires determination and enough time Long time to my current point.

We think that a person who has won a large sum of money and continues to play is not addicted all the time, it is because he does not know how to control his emotions, because it can happen that someone goes to a casino and plays and wins a lot, then continues to get excited. and when they see that they have lost everything, and after that experience they never come back, because it will be said that they are unlucky, then this type of thing can also happen, now if it is a person who always frequents the casino that always loses, and suddenly loses, he wins a lot of money and loses it, because there he can consider himself a follower, but he still has to correct a lot, a person who enters a casino must know that any act is under his responsibility, and this is something which can be considered, because a caisno assumes that a person is over 18 years of age and yes, everything they do is responsible for what they do. If the person is irresponsible or something like that , the casino is not responsible for what he does, and so it is not responsible for ensuring that he does not spend the house's money, or that he does not spend what he has to give to the Woman , or something like that , What interests the casino is that the person Plays and leaves money there in the casino, why? Because that is their business model, then it makes no sense for a casino to be blamed for a person's addiction, because as I say to a casino the main rule is that children do not come in to play.

Starting from that premise there are many things to Develop , the first is that people who become addicted are under their own responsibility, a person has to do other things to be more responsible, and that has nothing to do with the casino , the casino does not care if a Person is Responsible or not , as I said before, it is important that they are of legal age and if it is a physical casino, then they should not make trouble or look for a fight, if the person throws all their money there, Well, the casino is not to blame, if the person falls into addiction, then the casino is not to blame either , these are the things that many people should Understand.

I agree, distracting yourself with another kind of game that is also related to gambling will still not help you to conquer gambling addiction. It will only make you more addicted and will push yourself to gamble more since it will only trigger your emotion to gamble again. Better to stop gambling at all, if you want to move forward, resting for good is the key and not anything to distract your mind if you are addicted.

Emotions toiled with us on a regular basis, we know our routine and follow some beneficial routes. We have targets to achieved in the system, in that way most of us becomes addicted to the process, we only wants the best results in the system, some gamblers are ready to wager with their life saving just to grab some cool money. Quiting gambling is not easy, we're left with no single option that dealing with this space ourselves. Gambling addiction is everywhere, we bear with disciplinary measures that takes us to another level differently.

The emotion will be spoil all the regular activities,So it all include the gambling.All of us had the target to achieve in our life,it may be became the business man from your current position or to get promoted in your regular job.Like this the way of the ambition will be changed to many people in many ways,the emotion should not spoil such things.Some gambler ready to use their life saving to get involve in the gambling.Such things may give him huge benefits.

If you are an addicted gambler and you want to stop, changing to another kind of game is just like wasting of time to me because that won’t stop the addiction. One of the things that I do recommend to people that are addicted to gambling whenever they want to stop gambling is for them to always spend less time on their mobile phones. They should just get another thing that will make them happy and focus on that. If the person has friends that are not gamblers, it’s better to spend time with them. I am sure that by doing that, he will start thinking less about gambling, which I am sure is really going to help.

I've experienced big loss and I've made myself on the right track. However I wasn't able to keep myself away from the gambling habit for a longer time period. What makes me better than the past is the losing amount. Compared to the old days I've set my limits and never go beyond. This keeps my living undisturbed in all situations and I've shared my losing experience in a thread so that someone into hard addiction could get out of it.

If you are able to decrease your losses progressively each cycle of addiction you face, it means you are already doing progress, therefore it should encourage you to keep trying to completely get rid of new addiction cycles futurely. We don't defeat our biggest inner monsters at once and we can't win every battles. It's a long process which takes time and endurance from our side. Never lose hope and always believe you have the potential to improve yourself as individual, by defeating the addictions which disturb you and don't let you reach further!

Yeah, each time you manage to control and not following what your desire wants you to do, that's something to learn and continue
to accomplish, each small step is a new beginning to learn for more.

You just need to be open and willing to continue being progressive, hard but doable and, if in case, you
manage to work it out, the chance to fulfil your willingness to manage your gambling is way ahead of you.

At least you have started to change for the better than in the past because you can now set your limits and never go beyond them. That is a good achievement for now, and you can continue while still learning other things so that you don't experience big losses or become addicted to gambling. If other people can learn from your experience to get rid of their gambling addiction, you have indirectly helped that person realize their gambling addiction and try to cure it. Yes, by sharing stories about our life experiences in gambling, we can help other people get something valuable for their lives.

That's a commendable suggestion my friend @stable090, keep your mobile phone constantly next to you can easily lure you back into gambling with just one click. I'll also add by say if it's possible the addict can change to a new mobile phone that's not connected to the internet, just for calls and text messages. Taking a leave from the internet for some period of time will be more effective and help adjust their gambling habit and eliminating all tendencies of addiction while they spend time with friends and family and other activities that keeps them heavily occupied.

Gambling can be very challenging when we have not made the right decisions for ourselves. So many people especially the newbies may think that gambling is a very easy activity but never it's not so. One need to pass through some rough time and if we are not careful, we can lost ourselves in the act. Those who think gambling is very easy and cool should go in fully and see for themselves what it is really all about. We need to make plans as a gambler or we are going to get lost in the process.

It is clear friends, how not while gambling is very involving mentally and also emotions in us so it is very true if we do not prepare anything in ourselves such as self-control, it is very likely that we will feel challenged and then we will continue to do things like that based on emotions. Well true, I also see some of them (beginners) who are like very enthusiastic about entering this gambling, maybe yes they think they will be able to get a lot of money there but in fact it only makes them suffer and get poorer.

So yes before we enter into gambling it would be nice for us to first see what risks are there, not just focus on the victory because behind a big win there will always be a big risk too. It's true that we must be very careful when gambling, don't let you be tempted by some of the lures that come that look like tantalizing but it's just a temptation. We must be strict with ourselves to be a responsible gambler and come only to seek pleasure not to win, then I think you will be fine there.

Technically gambling is easy, you only need to make a deposit and click spin or place your bet in sportsbook, you're already a gambler.

But the problem will arise after that when they can't control themselves due to lose all of their money, only a strong people can survive in this stage. Some people will commit suicide, some people will lose everything and start from zero, some people will need to seek a doctor and get a rehabilitation.

With such an easy entry threshold, when everything is colorful and cheerful, at first glance it looks like a trap. Which will slam shut after making the first spin. After that, everything depends on your psychological stability, and if it is weak, then you are left alone with it. In addition, if the casino is not conscientious, various problems with withdrawal may arise, even if you are lucky and win jackpot. The key idea here is that you need to think about what consequences you might face before starting the game, and not after you have lost everything.

Experience from pro gamblers will aides us in most sectors of gambling, more like a step to step. Making plans not to end up like other worse gamblers that have liquidated their accounts due to the significant losses they recorded in gambling. I'm always exploring more options because I have no excuse to settle for losses, bouncing back to the system witn appropriate strategy. Gambling is considered an easy activity for some of us and complicated for most of us. We only tends to be on the safer side if we apply an effective gambling strategy and know our risks management.

It's not about the games, whether they're on a phone or a computer. It's about the rush, the appeal of making money quickly, or the excitement of it all. What if I showed you a safe mobile game that gives you dopamine without any risk? Would you be happy? I doubt it. People who gamble often are hardwired to enjoy the rush of winning, the crushing weight of losing, the strategy, and the expectation

You mention self-will as an answer, which I agree with, but it's like telling a moth not to fly into a flame. Smartphone gambling apps are the drugs of today, don't you think? Alluring, accessible, and ever-tempting. Your focus on will is good, but let's not be fooled. In a world where we are constantly distracted by messages, pings, and vibrations, "will" becomes an overworked muscle, doesn't it?

We cannot eliminate our gambling habit because of course it will be difficult and take a long time, there are many ways to reduce it gradually and also control the game to make it better, for example as you said also where you set limits for gambling, for example time and budget limits. It is very important not to exceed the limit, in fact addiction can still be tolerated as long as it is controlled.

I also don't want to get rid of my gambling habit, but just change my way of thinking about gambling, because all this time I have been gambling focused on winning and beating the dealer, that is clearly the wrong mindset and I realize that, therefore experience always teaches me We have many things, we must gamble wisely and responsibly to avoid addiction.

Yes. The only way not to fall into gambling addiction is through having discipline as a gambler, and by learning from the different experiences from those who have been gambling for quite long. Although gambling addiction can be a tough one, but if you know your limits and priorities in life, for sure you will never end up with deep gambling addiction that may eventually ruin your life. However, if you can seek medical attention like most of the gamblers do, the earlier the better. Gambling is fun and also profitable at some point, but if you come to cross the limits, gambling will definitely become your life’s destructor.

Even though most people wont understand, your words hit me. Its hard to break a long-standing habit. However, gambling is riskier than business as usual. Being self-aware and setting time and money restrictions is good. Control and inability to resist desire are easily crossed.

Why not transform your love of gaming into something more predictable? For instance, practicing a skill or doing something you enjoy? While beating a dealer may provide you a short-term rush, continuous improvement in something you like may be the prize you didnt know you needed.

It is at the moment when we decide to exceed our spending per day in the game that we cross the line which is called addiction. If we think about winning, then this is a direct path to losing. But naturally, the vast majority think about it and enter the game.

Watching professional players, I noticed that they have a fire inside that drives them to develop in order to know all the subtleties. I would even say they have an addiction on the edge, with which they know how to balance on a thin thread, but almost never fall.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rank gambling addiction as 9. Anyone who has gotten hooked on it can attest that it is one of the most difficult addictions to break free from. Some years back, my gambling addiction was slots. I kept losing. Each time I lost, my consolation and motivation is the hope of a win in the next game but it didn't change. I remember deleting a lot of these gambling apps and closing my accounts on the gambling websites. Unfortunately, after some weeks, I'd go back, redownload the gambling apps, sign up on a new casinos website. I lost control of myself. One of the things that made it difficult quit it was, I was getting an inflows of crypto payments on an app I partnered with a friend to build. Users signed up and paid in crypto to gain access to its features.

After I figured this out, I took a bold step. I cut the funding, that is , I made the app and it's features free for the general public. In no time, I was getting little to no crypto from this app to fund my gambling addiction and it was a game changer. My addiction came under control and now I am free from it.

Have you experienced the bitter experience of gambling and repeated it twice and don't you realize that the experience of gambling addiction which results in losing control over every action can make you lose more things?
From this experience you should be able to control and limit your finances even though there are supporting factors such as money in the form of crypto that goes into your gambling account and from the amount of money that comes in you can use 30% or half for gambling and the rest can be withdrawn and saved in the form of fiat.

If you do this it doesn't seem like a good solution because you lose the flow of profits that you can get and of course that is a big loss.
It's better to keep running it as before and only use a small amount of funds so that you can still gamble for fun and on the other hand have some profits that can be secured or saved.

Many people have experienced this and even become seriously addicted to gambling. They cannot stay within their limits because there is a temptation to continue gambling, so they decide to exceed their budget limits. This will happen to people trying to chase victory because they don't think about ending their gambling but still want another win.

Professional players have all the abilities to overcome problems that may arise while they are gambling so that they will not become addicted. They already know what to do if something bothers them, such as greed to chase more wins. And they are different from most gamblers in that they can avoid gambling addiction. That's why we need to learn to gamble responsibly from them so that we don't experience big losses.

But, I guess you already know what the word "hard" means? And then the word "addiction"? You can just combine them to easily understand it's definition. In case you still don't know, well hard addiction is addiction that are from the highest level already. It's different from the common addiction that we know and this one is much harder to cure.

When we are on this stage, maybe we are hopeless already that we can recover but trust me or others who can say that it's possible. Not just in gambling but any other else addiction is cause by a greed or wanting to have more of that thing. We just can't get enough because these things gives us a good feeling, but yeah it also has to do with our patience.

The moment we accept and have a self awareness that oh I am addicted now in gambling that where the recovery will start, because we no longer deny that thought and that emotion. We all know that it is hard to get out to the trap in addiction but in case we are get addicted not only in gambling we should seek help to professionals because they know the best for us.

I am not entirely sure about that. Someone who has experience in gambling is not the type of person I would be very keen to listen and follow the advices of. I am not saying that gamblers are degenerates or anything like that but I can say that there are many among them so we should be careful, I wouldn't know if that's a good person or not, and I would have hard time caring about the suggestions and instead focus too much on trying to figure out if that person is someone to listen to or not, meanwhile miss the point of the advice at start.

This is why I believe that we are going to end up with something that will change the perception of the gamblers if we want to really care about what they say, or at least for me.

It is often mentioned that the first step to leave an addiction behind is for the addicted to recognize that they are addicted, if that first step is not taken then that person will always come up with excuses about why they are fine and they are in complete control of their behavior, even if for anyone that is around them is obvious this is not the case.

However it is also important to mention that even if a person admits they are indeed addicted there is no guarantee they will be able to fully recover.

     -  OMG! 3000 dollars; do you know that with that amount I can buy a land between 100 square meters and more? Then you only gambled for a week. This is also a strong addiction you experience. Since I don't have a gambling addiction, I can also learn from the experiences of others here.

Just like you, I also learned a lesson from 3k$ to 500$ weekly, but it's still big for me. In our country, that amount is the salary of a manager or public teacher for one month. But that's still big, and I can see that the remaining addiction to gambling is still big; anyway it's still your money.

I cannot talk for my experience because I only have a little and not turn addicted from ther e, but there is a friend that I come to know who manage to leave addiction and now  a good and managed gambler.
allocating small amount each time when playing and yes can manage to stand the table at all time it needed.

But treating a gambling problem can help you regain a sense of control — and possibly help heal damaged relationships or finances. Treatment for compulsive gambling may include these approaches: Therapy. Behavioral therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy may be helpful.

https://www.google.com/search?q=is+it+possible+to+recover+from+gambling+addiction&rlz=1C1KNTJ_enPH946PH946&oq=managing+gambling+addiction&aqs=chrome.4.69i57j0i22i30j0i390i650l5.12163j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Google says it is possible , but we must go through proper treatment and of course , with our own dedication and perseverance .

People are drawn to winning, which can impair their judgement. Pros usually plan to curb their cravings.

Knowledge becomes power here. Knowing the risks makes you more cautious. Copying pros may seem like the ideal way to improve, but they've been practising for a long time and know everything about the game.

While their approaches can help, self-awareness and persistence are the greatest ways to fight addiction. You must know when to bet and when to quit.

$ 3000 is very large for average salaries in developing countries including in my country, I am the biggest $ 500- $ 1500 to spend money in gambling, maybe the value I spend is not so great for many people here, but for me it is very large that makes I want to stop gambling, at least I can release addiction in gambling even though I still want to play.

I thank those of you who have suggested seeing the article from Google, but I try not to depend on Google, so I want to ask the people here to give their experience stories in completing their addiction, because it is indeed quite better than I read From the free article out there, but I say thank you in advance.
And indeed what is conveyed in the article is not much different from what is expressed by people who give advice here, but they are far more explicit and short.

That's the way to go around it, as long as you have money available, you will keep gambling if you are addicted to it, and if you see that you don't have any money for it, you will most probably stop doing it and eventually get rid of the addiction. However, there are some people who will get into bad things once they run out of money if their addiction has reached a different height. They will look for ways that they can use to get some money only to continue gambling.

So, though what you said works for most people who don't have the courage to do illegal or unethical stuff for money, those who are daring and don't care about anything will go so deep in it that they will even kidnap people or rob them only to feed their gambling addiction and that is very much dangerous.

When I was gambling much, the only time I remember that I’m about to get addicted or have been addicted to gambling is when I gamble, my money has run out, and I still need another way to get money and gamble. However, the only thing I did that time was that I went to a friend to get advice about how to gamble too much because he has been telling me that I gamble a lot, but I wasn’t listening to him, so he now told me that what I should do is stop going around the casino shop anytime because by then I even don’t like to be gambling on my mobile phone. I usually go to the casino shop, so this guy told me that I should find something else that will keep me busy, which is work, and I should reduce how I follow my friends who are also gamblers.
And that is what I did, and till today I don’t gamble much like before. Now I gamble like twice a week, sometimes once a week, because by then it was out of hand and I couldn’t even control it.


You're funny, mate. You know, if you are not a gambler or addicted to it, you will see this money as very big or experiencing some difficulty using it to gamble, but for someone who is already addicted to gambling, definitely if they even have more than this money, they will still spend it on gambling. Although you are right, $300 is not small money; it will save many lives the way the economy is going right now, but gamblers or someone who is addicted to gambling don’t know that they are the only ones who derive pleasure.

However, $300 is more than what a public teacher is earning monthly in my country. Some teachers don’t even earn up to $150 when compared to my local currency, so you can see that this person needs help to get rid of this addiction; if not, he will definitely experience a hard time if he continues like this.


You are right, mate. As long as someone has money and is already addicted to it, they will definitely gamble, and if they don't, they will still find any means to get it and gamble. Even if they take a loan, it is not a big deal to them. And again, there are others who, if they are just newly addicted and their addiction hasn't gone a long way, will stop it immediately. They will continue when they have money, and when they notice that it's gambling, they will not even gamble again.

Some people have an addiction to loans, or perhaps it is an addiction to spending money, they constantly need to buy something, it is clear that the money will quickly run out and they will be obliged to take out even more loans. If such a person becomes addicted to gambling, then it will definitely become a very big problem, he will not stop when he runs out of money.

It's okay for a gambler to copy professional players to learn what it takes to become a professional player. But often, a gambler loses the opportunity to learn because he often loses self-control even though self-control is one way to avoid possible problems. And they are only interested in the wins obtained by professional players without learning how they can remain calm and control their emotions.

That's why it's very difficult to become a professional gambler because it requires a lot of things, and they have to be learned one by one. And even though it takes a lot of time, that shouldn't be a barrier for a gambler to learn and master it. If they are successful, they will easily control themselves and know when to bet and when to stop gambling.

Yes, the point is that whatever the type of addiction is basically the average addiction always leads us to something worse or even very bad, those who live dependently by utilizing loans will not be able to get progress in their lives and especially for some of those who like to spend money it is very clear that when one day they experience something unexpected and urgent that really needs money then they can't do anything except borrow again. I think saving money is a better thing to minimize the unexpected in the future.

And yes it would be very dangerous if someone who has a habit of always spending the money they have then they get into gambling, obviously I can't imagine what will happen next. The borrowing habit will be even more uncontrollable because as we know the temptation of winning in gambling is very difficult to avoid, so before getting into gambling I think it's better for you to change that bad habit from now on, your money is very valuable, and you get it from your hard work, so be wiser.

I know a streamer who is watched by about 500 people online every day. This goes on for many years. In fact, we could learn all his actions and try to become just as successful, but we won't understand some situations no matter how hard we try.

There is such a thing as balancing the range at high limits. He can play the same situation differently with the same cards in his hands. He also has a contract for increased rakeback with the poker room where he plays. This is very important for greater profits. He also has donations from stream users. I want to say by this that it is extremely difficult to do all this, I think it is on the verge of superman. Only a few people will be able to earn money this way.

I found other ways to make money or I directed myself to another area. I can say this in order to improve myself in something. I was a gambling addict at the time, but I play very little now, so I can say that I play for pleasure in a way. I can leave this completely, but sometimes I get bored and I want to play with a small amount. You need to determine your boredom or your source of income. When you focus yourself on something else, you get rid of it, so it's all in your brain. When you reprogram your brain, you don't even want to mess with gambling again.

It's more better for us to make research well enough for us to know where and from whom to learn from, learning has both negative and positive impacts, if we think the experienced person we are going after to learn from has everything it takes to dispatch the level of the required standard we needed to know and have about gambling, then we can go for it, while learning we should also take note of their mistakes and avoid going through the same pattern, this is why we have to learn in other to avoid making mistakes.

Happening from other people wont really be an assured thing that it would really also happen on you and this is something that we should really be baring up into our minds because lots of factors wont really be that
be able to be completely copied and the one is luck on the time that you would really be making out such move or on something that you are watching and this is why outcome or results would really be totally
different to each other and this is something that you would really be needing to realize because making the same act and it shows different results would really be making out such impulsive emotion which is something that not must really be done because if you do find yourself that doing or being desperate then this would really be surely showing that it isnt really that right anymore because being desperate would
really be making possibly those things which you dont have done before like being that aggressive or really that desperate on the different level.

I think that it is not addiction to credit or some psychological disease that forces a person to spend money all the time, rather it is a credit trap into which many people who do not have sufficient income and level of knowledge in the financial sphere fall. Credit addiction leads to the fact that at some point a person has to take out a new loan to pay off the old one. In my country there are organizations that give loans to the poor at 400% per annum. If the government of my country cared about its citizens, this would not be the case. The same illiterate people can easily afford to gamble with borrowed money.

I believe that even the habit of spending everything you managed to earn is a bad habit and will not lead to anything good. Yes, sometimes this is a necessary measure, because the income is too small to be able to save something, perhaps many have gone through such periods in life, but if you develop, then your level of income will grow, and in this case you need to make sure that save part of your income.

If you believe that you can make money in gambling, then allocate some part of your money and try, but credit money in gambling should be taboo.

Sometimes it's inevitable to borrow money because the salary is not sufficient for overall needs. That's understandable however let's not be used to it. If your income is not enough then do something to increase it but not through gambling. Gambling is not even an answer to double your money, you can lose it all instead.

Thus gamble only the money that you can live without. If you don't have excess money for gambling then forget about it and focus on how to improve your financial status. This way, you don't have to borrow money just because you're in short of funds for essential things.

Borrowing money for things other than gambling is okay because our needs may increase, so we run out of money. But if we use the money for gambling, we shouldn't need to borrow because that could cause problems for us. After all, if we only use gambling as entertainment, we will not always gamble and only occasionally. And we won't budget our money too often for gambling, so it's better to use it to meet our living needs. And, indeed, we should only use the money we can afford to gamble so that we don't lose too much money and still have money for other things. Or it's better if we just save the money for emergency needs.

Ya benar seperti yang saya katakan di atas itu akan selalu menjadi kebiasaan yang buruk yang berdampak buruk, dimanapun anda melakukan kebiasaan itu, apalagi dalam sebuah perjudian yang memiliki dampak yang sangat buruk. Dan ya saya setuju dengan anda perihal menabung, saya benar - benar paham bahwa anda mendapatkan uang itu dari hasil kerja keras dari keringat anda dan yang lebih tidak masuk akalnya jika anda merelakan uang itu untuk berjudi di bandingkan untuk di simpan sebagai tabungan masa depan, dan jelas keterpurukan akan segera menghampiri anda suatu saat. Tetapi yah saya juga paham jika memang mereka memiliki pekerjaan yang tidak bisa menopang semua beban hidup anda dan secara tidak langsung wajar saja jika mereka sulit untuk menyisihkan sedikit uangnya untuk menabung. Tetapi benar ini bukan pilihan terakhir kawan, roda terus berputar dan saya yakin jika anda terus berusaha dengan bekerja keras maka pasti hidup anda akan bisa berkembang, hanya satu yang akan sedikit saya sarankan jangan sampai anda mencoba untuk terjun dalam perjudian karena jelas walaupun ada peluang menang tetapi tetap sistem kasino di buat untuk menguntungkan kasino bukan untuk penjudi dan kekalahan jelas akan selalu mendominasi.

Honestly I never thought that there are some of them who can make a consistent income in gambling, for the winnings maybe you can but it's only once or twice and if calculated then obviously still more of your losses, this is not an option to improve your finances.

Well, let me speak about myself.
I was badly addicted in both gambling and trading (yeah I know this is gambling related thread so I'll only discuss my gambling journey).
I was a very consistent gambler with mixed results which actually never bothered me to quit gambling. I did great for around 2-3 years since 2013, but later on, I started losing a lot and even incurred a debt which later on, got bigger and bigger. However, I managed to repay it through gambling only but with some fixed amounts to gamble each week with, and a fixed % after which I used to withdraw immediately and repaid. This helped me gain my credibility back and I started meditating a lot, went out with friends and gave a lot of time to books so that I remain busy with something and don't feel like I should gamble. Later on, I've made myself stubborn enough to only gamble once a month and stopped doing it the way I used to do. I had goals and I can proudly say that I achieved them through decent gambling, not like an addicted one but as an average gambler.

If someone believe they can make money in gambling then they should limit their expectations to never think that it would give them a progress in life because it would never give them that, regardless of how huge the winning amount is, when there is always an urge to go back to gambling, all these money you've won will drain down eventually.
I just realized that this is where some of the gambling addictions came from, as some gamblers think they could make a fortune one day when they hit their biggest jackpot. Well, it's sad to say gambling isn't designed to make someone reach other than the owner lol, gambling should always be treated as an entertainment.

It seems to me that if a person has survived a severe gambling addiction but still plays with “good financial management,” then he is simply deceiving himself. Any financial management in gambling leads to loss, that is, financial losses still continue, plus there is always the possibility of a return to a severe form of addiction.
It seems to me that if a person realizes the harmfulness of what he is doing, then he should completely get rid of it.

Maybe from the various facts that people who have experienced serious addiction then recover and have good financial management afterwards, that is very rare, and as you say has great potential to return to gambling madness, that is also true.
But I don't think that's the case if his principles of managing money and gambling awareness are very strong after recovery, it will probably work out fine.
At least when ambition flares up in him due to annoyance, there are limits that he remembers beforehand that make him stop for a moment and let calm surround his thoughts, that can still be worked on, sir.

Use the money that you can afford to let go and not to exceed to the point that you will be needed to barrow just to please your gambling. If you practice, you are good at dealing with your gambling.

But if not, chances that you will overspend your money and the amount that you will barrow will be added
to your problem when you lose everything, it will be added to your obligation and will be deducted o supposedly
budget for you and for your family.

It's logically and technically not possible for someone to keep earning an income from gambling and it has been proven millions of times throughout the history of gambling. One might get lucky and manage to get a big win someday, which might make them eligible to gamble for a lot of days without having to spend anything from their pocket, but eventually, it will run out, and then they will be back at spending their own money again for gambling.

When someone manages to win something significant, they need to save the most part and only use a small portion of it to try their luck again but if it doesn't work, they should just use the money that they've won on something more important in life that they needed or wanted to do but couldn't due to financial inabilities.

Yes, that means we have to be responsible for the gambling we do so that we don't experience more serious problems. By making a budget for gambling, at least we can keep gambling within certain limits so that we won't gamble excessively. By staying within these limits we can gamble comfortably and calmly and don't need to worry about gambling addiction. But if we lose self-control and even exceed the limits in gambling, we will experience problem after problem which may get worse in the future. We will have difficulty solving the problem if we don't want to return to the limits we have created and that is what will make us addicted to gambling. So it's also a good idea for us to learn from those who are experienced so we can gain more knowledge that will be useful for us.

And that's where many gamblers find themselves at fault. They gamble with the money that they can't live without and also when they don't have money but want to gamble, they push themselves and find a lot of ways they can just gamble. It is a very wrong move when you do that as a gambler and you're just adding the flame to the people who think that all gamblers are irresponsible and don't have a future. That's why that thought for gamblers never changes because of the kind of irresponsible gambler that makes it look even worse in the eyes of those non-gamblers. And in every side of it upon looking at it, never borrow money or ask for a loan just for you to gamble.

        -  I was impressed by the experience, although it didn't lead to an addiction. Rarely have I seen a gambler overcome his addiction to the point where it nearly destroyed his own life and that of others. From what I saw based on your story, you really focused on trying to change your gambling addiction.

Usually, it is very difficult for addicted gamblers to overcome their addiction, but for you, because you are determined to change and eliminate the addiction that was formed by being a gambler, you were able to change it and eliminate it little by little, and it is amazing that you actually did. Because of that, I congratulate you for overcoming your addiction to gambling.

Some people start to borrow the funds and make this as the habit.Borrowing the funds is not the wrong thing,but making it as the habit was the wrong one.Because the money you are going to use for the gambling.So the returns from the gambling is not the confirm one,the profit based on the probability of steps followed by the gamblers.If the gamblers use the money on business,he can handle the money and return the money to the borrower.The gambling based on your luck,So no one knows the today luck.The borrowing in the gambling is not highly recommended one.

You are right because borrowing funds to gamble will only put them in trouble, especially if they don't have the money to repay the borrowed money. Gambling with borrowed money will pose a greater risk than using your own money because we don't know when we will win, but we can lose all the money, so we can't pay the borrowed money. If we win, we can pay the loan, but this is gambling where the chances of us winning are not big. And if we lose in gambling where we bet all the money, we will be confused about how we can pay the loan. So it's better not to borrow money from anyone just to gamble. That is highly not recommended.

Let’s say a person has iron discipline, but still, why bother with the past? I don’t think that he will experience those old emotions (insane ones must be assumed if they harmed him). Why play for money at all if you don’t play “like before” and don’t experience those emotions? Then it would be right to install a casino emulator on your PC and play completely free of charge.

Initially it is quite difficult to change a serious addiction to gambling, someone can do it slowly by looking for other activities in their free time. Changing gambling habits can be done by making a list of monthly expenses for family needs. It is necessary to adjust income to expenses to change habits that absorb greater expenses. Financial management can change a person's habits that are considered addictive. A positive mindset by reducing desires in favor of prioritizing obligations will change a person's habits slowly.

I was not addicted to gambling but kept losing whenever I gambled. My family always urged me to stop gambling, and according to my thoughts, if you want to leave an addiction, you need to start another one as iron cuts iron. So I started drinking, and drinking a lot of alcohol stopped me from being a gambling addict as I had no senses left ever so I didn't gamble and lost my money in buying expensive whiskey bottles. Now, I'm not doing either of them as I stopped both these things.

When a person is addicted to gambling he falls under family stress and stress that's why I want to say gambling is not good for anyone that's why we all stay away from tide slowly we go far away then our future will be very good I have seen people who gamble  lost all his possessions after gambling and then he wants to commit suicide and he dies by suicide I am proof my elder brother dies by suicide that's why I want to say to all of you don't gamble it's a big risky game for your life  You stay away from this tide, your family will be happy, you will be happy, your future will be bright.

This what exactly my thought when I started earning from my work but as time went by my income increased and still yet that habit of spending all still was already stipulated in my nature and I always have the funny thought that the weekend is always a right time to atleast double some of the funds I actually want to save up because that's the time alot of games are being played in almost all the football league so me picking some games which can give me some tangible earning won't be difficult but latter was the case so I had to device to other means and try and stop the habits because like you said it doesn't Lead you to a good end.

You have another option to stop gambling. You spend more time with your family and travel with your family.  And you will not be much interested in gambling and drinking and if you do this I believe your future will be very good and you will be able to get out of these two bad habits please try them and you will surely succeed after success this small Give a thank you to sister.

This is for all those who are addicted to gambling please everyone quit gambling look at your son or your father come back to good path your future will be very bright.



I want to learn a lot from you. Please keep me with you and let me learn a lot so that I can say in the future that some brothers helped me a lot because of this I am here today and I will honor you all my life.

I solely depend on the primary stream, were I get my cash from, for no reason or excuse would I jeopardize this source, because there's numerous bills to clear. Concentrating on the particular sector of gambling that would generate income, making me to be pleased and ready to take gambling to the next level, not with desperation but with calculated risks and goals. Saving up would become more difficult but we have no option than to saved for the future. Learning from experience teaches us alot of things. We could be able to comprehend alot of things other than just sticking around and making little cash.

I would have to agree that family is one of the best option for gamblers to at least see and learn how to prioritized things. Specially if you have kids, you will have to think that you need to bring food in the table for them.
Hence, you can't just gamble all that money, and then go home while they are waiting for you.
At least for my case, it happened as well, when I will just play almost everyday in a landbase casinos, some days you win, some days you lose.
But at the end of the day, you will have to go home and see your family, and so you will have to change for the better and stop or at least lessen my gambling addiction back then.

Once your gambling habit graduates into addiction it's time to take a break totally from it and find something else to take your time, you could probably gat a job or get a new hobby that take your time so much that you will have little to no time to gamble, but then very importantly is to totally abstain for a while, that way you can work on curbing your addiction.

Secondly if you must come back to gambling again after a long while of abstaining, you should apply some money management principles so as to help you not spend all your money gamble and when you loose it becomes a problem to you, such money management skill could include you assigning a certain amount of money you would want to spend monthly on gambling.

It's could be 5-10% of your income or even less but it shouldn't exceed this as anything above this could become a problem when you encounter losses. Lastly draw a schedule as to how much time you want to spend on the casino daily or gambling sites or whichever form of it as the case may be, make sure not to exceed your daily scheduled time so as to keep you in check and know when you are gradually going out of control.

We can pray for you too, but you also have the desire not to be addicted to gambling because, without each person's desire, they might still gamble. You can also reduce your gambling time and money so that you don't stay in the casino for too long and can avoid the desire to win more. And everything can only be done if someone desires and actions. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do, and the person will just fall into gambling without being able to reduce his gambling time. There is a possibility that he will also develop a gambling addiction. So everything will come back to you because you will make that choice, and it is about how strongly you want to do it.

Don’t know if am qualified as I have at no point considers myself an addict to gambling but, you could be rest assured I came pretty close to that lane.
I mean, you view gambling for some means of making easy cash from small stakes in the accumulator bet options and then, you end up loosing time after time and keep believing that your pay is forth coming. It doesn’t matter how long or how many years of gambling it takes uou. After all, there are always a few persons hitting the jackpot. Such promotional strategies to instill hope but, you’ve got to wake up to yourself and realize when it’s time to slow down.

Judging by the fact that, we have categories of gamblers to be whale bettors, those whom are in between that as some high stake gamblers and those who are right there at the bottom of it all.

I’ll speak of the bottom and my advice would be,
Get a job or some stable means of income and build you live around your pay. It’s a hard to archive with constant inflation but, you could try and keeping adjusting to fit in. It helps in fighting addiction.

Well, one of the best financial education tips is to never lend money for occasions like this, such as playing in casinos, for your own pleasure, it is good to get into debt but for other things that require more money, for example, closing a business, making an investment, buying a machine, maybe pay the payroll of a company, that's how much someone can go into debt to borrow money, well I wouldn't say anything if it's to invest in Bitcoin, but otherwise I don't see the right thing to do to lend money and play in a casino , or lend to play in a casino, and although there is a possibility that you can multiply it, it is a huge risk, I think it is a very difficult process to do it because if you lose, where is the ability to pay? unless you leave something pawned, that's what I consider to be things like that, otherwise I don't think that a method to play and lend money is okay, it's very reckless to do so, there are people that I've seen that here in the forum have several threads where they say that there are casino agents who allow the loan of money, of credit in a casino, but I consider that this must be for very well selected people because in the first place they have to be well-known, we cannot grant loans to people who We do not know if Relida has the money to be able to respond, and secondly, not everyone should be eligible for the loan because we do not know what their financial life is like and for the company, the casino, we do not know if it is profitable or not to do this type of activities.

A loan with collateral is the only logical thing I see that can be done in a casino, I see it as something very natural, but I don't see it as correct that something like this can be done for any type of clients, even so the clients who are most trustworthy for A casino can take a while to pay a debt and that shows a casino's disagreement with working with that type of system, so sometimes for pleasure it is better to have the money and not start inventing by making loans.

Don't start it, then there's nothing to worry about.
Initially, you will enjoy it until it becomes more intense and you want to play more. Then, there will be a point that it becomes a revenge game where you want to chase all your losses including from the past weeks or months ago. Being a gambler means you hate losing and you are expecting that the RTP would help out to bring all your money back but that's not how online gambling works. You lose now, you lose it forever, you win now, it's up to you if you want out or keep on risking it.
This is the reason why many are getting addicted to it, it's either because of greed wanting more profits, or you want revenge from the online casino and pay all your losses which is impossible to happen unless you gamble more.

Well, that is if the family in question are the type that cares, this is me speaking from experience as I myself come from a family that give absolutely no shit about me or my well being, and this is because my late dad married alot of wives, my mom who is also late gave birth to just me and my younger sister, so my step siblings are all after themselves and careless about me nor my sister..

So assuming someone from such a family gets addicted to gambling, turning to such a family is a pure waste of time, because they may never have that time to care for you.

So for me, if assuming I am addicted to gambling which I thank God am not, if it's something that have gone past the level of me helping myself, I did turn myself in for medical help, or professional help, which ever is recommended aside family.

Borrowing money to gamble is not a good reason, but we have seen many cases where people borrow money from friends. They don't think about what will happen to them if they lose and how to return the money. And even though the borrowed money will be used to invest in bitcoin, they also have to consider paying the money back because that's what they have to do when they borrow money. Apart from that, they also have to think about how long they have to return their money because investing in bitcoin takes time, and we don't know when the price of bitcoin will increase. So they must think more about all the possibilities and prepare the money to repay the loan.

Loans with collateral are normal when we want to borrow, and we must be aware that if we cannot repay the loan, our collateral will be taken by the lender. We can't protest because that's the agreement, but maybe we can get the collateral back when we already have the money, which must be written in the agreement. So it's better not to borrow money from anyone, especially for gambling because it will be riskier for us. After all, we don't know when we can win.

I think the current economic conditions are also increasing the chances for people to become addicted, after all one of the most basic wants people have is to move up on the social hierarchy, and while this was relatively easy decades ago, now this is very difficult with most people going down instead of moving up.

So when people see this and they understand that no matter how hard they work they have no chance to achieve their dreams, they decide to try other methods, with gambling being one of the easiest as in order to change your life with gambling you only need to have good luck.

In extreme cases of addiction the best advice has always been to seek help because I think that's the most effective way to put an end to it if not you can't do it all alone especially when you still have the exposure to it and also the funds enough to continually fund the habit, it's even worse when you think you can help yourself, you may even get worse at it because at that point self decit may step in.

Meeting a doctor, counselor or probably learning from the experience of someone ho has suffered such addiction will definitely go a long way to help you drop the habit. But then as I have always said in my previous post you must first have the willingness to want to stop then that will drive you to seeking for help but if there be no willingness then it becomes even more difficult.

There are people out there too who practice healthy gambling and we can say are successful at their game because they have control over what they are doing. They usually have methods they apply to get themselves not addicted, sometimes I think not getting busy and staying idol can cause you to turn your gambling habit into addiction so I always advice get a job and if you must gamble, do it responsibly.

Yeah I agree with you irrespective of the negative perception or views most people have on gambling on the contrary there are a lot of good gamblers who has benefited greatly on gambling using a simple strategy that's well suitable for them,  and always apply risk management  but just like you said is more advice able to look for a steady job instead of relying on gambling because a jobless person tend to see gambling as the only way for them to make money as such all there thinking will be channel on gambling were as they will become addicted and seeing gambling as there only way to take care of there needs as such making them to be overwhelmed while gambling were as it covers there sense of reasoning in other not to no if they are becoming too obsessed on the gambling or not

Learning from people more experienced in gambling is highly recommended to learn lessons we can apply to ourselves. It is possible that people who are experienced in gambling have ways to avoid gambling addiction or they use other activities not to gamble too often so that it becomes a distraction from gambling. Learning from other people's experiences can make us think about what is profitable for us to manage our gambling time well without having to experience gambling addiction. Apart from that, our own experience can also develop well because apart from getting direct experience from what we experience, we also get experience from other people, which will be useful for us.

I do not understand how some people can gamble without having a regular income. Gambling is entertainment for those who have money. And after losing this money in the gambler should not change the quality of life. Of course, I have nothing against when a poor man after working a shift at the factory comes to the casino to play dice and drink a mug of beer, but I do not understand when students gamble on their parents' money.

It is true that good habits always lead to good there are many games that should be viewed as per one's ability and through entertainment. Avoiding gambling debt is one of the biggest obstacles to saving money. If there is debt, a part of the income is lost at the beginning. That's why if you have debt, you should pay it off first then save besides saving it is better to invest and have a long term plan. But it should be done in small amounts so that even if there is a loss there is no big danger.

Yes, I think you are not alone with that kind of mindset. I mean most of the time I will also think that way, that after payday, just maybe, I have enough money to gamble and then win some to extend and have some extra for a week or two.

So I gamble and took the risk, but there are days that I got extremely unlucky so I just decided not to try that strategy again. Or if I will play, just small amounts and get exit my online games when I lost because I don't want to deposit more money and try to risk it again and again which might lead me to be desperate and try to recoup and chase my losses which is very bad.

I can not say I'm an addicted gambler because my opinion of gambling differs. I decide to gamble once in a very long while, as a matter of fact, I am not even conscious of its existence until I find myself around people who gamble or I get to see someone I know who doesn't gamble tell me about a thing related to it and how he made some bucks, with the most recent being 72 hours ago.

I only commit funds I can let go of. Partially insignificant funds (even though such descriptions don't exist) is what I use and it doesn't really matter much whether it comes back with profit or it gets lost amidst the adventure.

A good practice to avoid exceeding from your limits, if you feel that you are not doing any good and you already lose the amount that you allocated with your gambling.

Better to quit and call the day since if you will follow your desire to continue chances of losing more
than you can afford will mostly take place. It's always better to lose some, but you enjoy the session
compared with losing a lot and create stress and regret.

I am not really sure about the benefits or strategies that people might have gotten from gambling, but I can say that when someone gambles responsibly, they can at least save themselves from excessive losses and that is the main issue about gambling. When someone gets into gambling, they tend to forget about how much time and money they need to spend on it and they forget having a count for both of these metrics and then lose a lot of time and money in it.

But, when someone realizes that gambling is not actually a way to earn money and there is no point in spending so much time and money on it, they might start getting a bit responsible and then start limiting the time and money that they used to spend on gambling which will save them from excessive losses.

Gambling is not worse as taking a drug, and not all those who tried gambling ended up destroying their lives. As long as we are only playing amounts we can afford to lose, we won't have that revenge feeling. Besides, there are still times where we can get lucky and we can recover our past losses or even be on profit. Online gambling is not different to offline gambling in terms of risks.

I think some gambling addicts are not targeting a profit anymore because even though they can win a huge amount, they can still continue playing. But I won't say that they are only playing for fun alone. They are only attached to the activity and they should do it to feel a continuous pleasure.

The main reason for the gambling addict will be target the loss money in the past.But they need to understand the fact some people had a capacity to manage the loss.The gambler who doesn’t had a capacity to bear the loss should avoid of the gambling.If the loss money is big compared to the money used in the recent days.The gambler should stop the gambling for certain period of time.So they get some stress free from the gambling.Then use of the gambling will help the gambler to make some good win from the gambling itself.Some big money winner will not get addicted in gambling,but the person who loss big money will addicted by targeting the money losses in the gambling.

Those students do not understand the value of money as they did nothing in order to earn it, and when you do not understand how difficult it can be to earn any amount of money then it is easy to use it in ways that are not optimal.

So when those students begin to gamble and lose it all they do not really experience the same kind of feelings someone that earns their own money goes through, as the only thing they need to do in order to get more money is to lie to their parents about some unexpected expenses and then receive more money without really deserving it.

Gambling atimes is fun,and as long as we are sports lovers,the urge to gamble will continuously be in us because we love the activities that relates to it.Most persons take gambling as their lifetime job,and that happens because they love the activity, as it brings no stress,all you need do is to sit down in your house,and predict games,and if you are lucky enough with your predictions,then there is a chance for you to smile that week.To me,the most amazing sport to engage my gambling activities in is football,because thats where my love lyes,That's the reason I have been dropping sure odds in my posts for people that read my posts.
For this week end, Newcastle will win,
Arsenal will win,Everton will win,
manchester City will win
Totthenham and Liverpool will like play a draw.just as
Briton and Aston Villa will also end up in a draw.

For students who have not been able to earn money from working, they will not feel how difficult it is to work. They can casually use their money to gamble and will not be too sad about their losses because they can ask their parents for more money. But it would be different if someone worked and earned money and then used it for gambling. He experiences defeat after defeat, it will make him sad because he has lost the money he earned from his work. But if someone doesn't have a steady income but instead uses his money to gamble, it will be even more painful because he could lose his money and no longer meet his living needs.

The student can’t able to earn the big money because of the studies involvement during the college days.The only way to earn from the part time job by the college student,So the student can use their part time money to their gambling game.If the gambler made the exact technique for the gambling game,he can multiple the money he used in the gambling sites.Some college student ask their parents many time to play the gambling and the reason will be the fee need to pay in the college for the books,Tution fee.So the college student should play gambling with more awareness.

It is because of this that I have always thought that it is imperative for students to work while they are still at school, now some may argue that such a thing may distract them from their studies, however by getting some experience early not only they will realize the massive difference between school and work.

By doing both at the same time they will get to experiment how hard it is to balance your life when you have a lot of responsibilities, but once they finally graduate and they can concentrate on just working instead of being shocked at how difficult it is, something those that did not got a job before will experience for the first time, what they will experiment is a feeling that this is way easier than what they did before by studying and working at the same time.

Because students tend to still ask their parents for money, that's right, students don't yet understand how difficult it is to earn money, and how to use that money wisely, because what students have in mind is only personal pleasure and asking their parents. Money.

And as a result, if students have started to become addicted to gambling, then what you said is true, they will lie to their parents for whatever reason, with the aim of getting money so they can gamble again, and this is behavior that is not appropriate to imitate, even in reality. If he is not given money, he will be determined to steal his own parents' money.

Just a lot of kids dont get it. They believe that their wants and needs are the center of the universe. Isnt that the whole "me, me, me" mentality? Furthermore, kids remain indebted to their parents without realizing the labor of love that goes into earning every dollar.

Lets now discuss that gambling portion. When students become dependent on it, the excitement, the rush, and the possibility of a big victory take precedence over the money. Indeed, if they are truly into it, they will lie, cheat, and even steal from their own family members. Isnt that sad?

What if schools offered a course on "healthy gambling"? Not encouraging gambling, of course, but educating them about the odds, the statistics, and the risks? A sort of sobering reminder of reality. I mean, its worth considering?

Yes, they can indeed get part-time jobs so they can earn money. But the problem is, if they instead use the money from their part-time job to gamble, it won't be multiplied because they are gambling where they will lose. He could look for an investment program that can provide benefits in the future, such as investing in bitcoin. And if he is successful in his investments, he won't need to ask his parents for money to pay for his studies because he already has his own money. However, playing gambling requires self-control, especially since he is still in college where he really needs money to pay his tuition fees.

At least, they can have their own money to buy the things they want and not just to gamble. That would be better because they wouldn't have to experience defeat like the others. When they can have a part-time job, they will understand that it is difficult to find work and that working is also not easy so they will try to appreciate every penny they earn at work.

It will be a valuable experience not to waste the money they get from working so that when they actually graduate and can work, they can learn to save their money. Of course, the experience he gets after graduating and working like a worker will be different from the experience he gets while studying and working part time.

These students should be watched closely as most times negligence on the side of their parents as it regards how well they spend the money given them probably to use for themselves or for their academics, parents should always try to hold their children accountable on how they spend the funds given them because these children or students become reckless with funds when they realize they are not held accountable about their spending.

These students find themselves in company of certain friends who may have been exposed to gambling prior to their meeting and they may introduce these student friends to gambling as a means of income to make more money or multiply that which they have so they will be venture into it whith the hope they get to make more money and they really don't get scared of loosing it because they believe it will be replaced by their parents.

Sometimes these students should work so they know how it feels to earn money maybe it would help them curb how much they gamble although some of the students do it because the funds available are usually not enough to meet their needs so they want to multiply it and probably be able to meet their needs but then it's never the best option as gambling is rather best suited for entertainment

If a child cannot yet understand and realize that his parents' debt of gratitude is very valuable, then it is best not to waste this opportunity for reasons of the child's own personal enjoyment.
If a child is addicted to gambling, even if it is for fun, it is still not appropriate to do so, because as children we should be obedient and obedient to our parents' orders, and if the parents find out that their child is gambling. then it is very likely that the child will be given good scientific guidance or even punished.
If schools hold courses on gambling, I don't agree, because gambling is a bad activity according to society, so this needs to be re-examined and reconsidered in the future, and in my opinion there are no schools that offer courses on gambling.

You know, I've personally dealt with that addiction myself. It's crucial to speak out about the problem to your friends and family. Their advice can be like gold, helping you analyze your mistakes. You definitely don't want to get to the point where gambling feels like hypnotism and you can't resist it anymore. That's when it becomes a full-blown addiction, and trust me, happiness isn't found there.

Money is often at the root of this issue. Greed and the desire to win can cloud our judgment. Instead of searching for a winning strategy, we rely too much on our beliefs, even when the strategy isn't working anymore. Knowing when to stop is key. I think reading stories about the experiences of addicted gamblers and how it's impacted their lives can give us a wake-up call. We learn a lot from their stories.

That's right, by providing internal understanding to children, I think that is a good step. Because gambling in the eyes of society is a habit that is not good to do, and how could this bad habit be exposed in public, it would be better if no one knew about it.
I agree that we as parents must provide good knowledge, including providing knowledge about what gambling is and its impacts. So, do it slowly so that your child does not experience mental or physical stress.

As parents, we have to really look after our children by providing knowledge or information about something so that they don't look for wrong information that could mislead them. This is important because parents are the ones who educate their children until they grow up and even until they get married, their parents still educate them to be good parents even though they also have their own experiences.

And for those who are already addicted to gambling, they must have a strong intention to reduce or escape gambling addiction. But it is difficult to treat yourself if there is no desire from within because we have to be able to push ourselves to recover from gambling addiction. No one can predict how long someone can get rid of gambling addiction because it is determined by how strongly a person intends to recover from gambling addiction.

I think it is our responsibility to make our children understand the potential danger of gambling and the effects to their life just like what we are teaching them on other vices like cigarettes, drugs and other obviously dangerous vices. I myself is a gambling addict before and I literally have no financial freedom because of it, I was stuck on a cycle on receiving money and doing gambling which makes it hard for me to have something valuable before. It's obvious that I don't want our children to learn it this is why it's better to teach them not to or don't expose them into something that you don't want them to try. Addiction is treatable but it needs an ample of time before we can get rid of it.

Yes, as parents have a strong responsibility to educate their children to behave well, with the experience that parents have, including in the field of gambling, of course this will be a strong encouragement so that their children do not get trapped in the world of gambling. , or bad activities such as smoking, alcohol, and drugs.
It is true that if someone is addicted to gambling, it is not easy for him to recover quickly, especially if it is forced not because of personal desire, then the results are still doubtful and it will take quite a long time.

I wasn’t particularly addicted to gambling in the last or I like to think that way but, I gambled more at a time than I do now and I must say compared to them, my gambling habit is drastically reduced.
One of the means to have archived this was a redefined purpose on my gambling.

Many get into gambling with the aim of making money off it. I think that was the case for me when I started gambling. It presents you with the ease of getting that plus odds in an accumulator bet and when you win, you have that extra money to spend on whatever you fantasized about but, it’s it always the case,,, unfortunately not. You end up loosing even the little you’ve set aside for a different purpose.

Hence, understating the fact that, the house are often going yo have an edge over your gambling and you can only win with luck and not by how well grounded you are about a game would better position your gambling habit.

I actually agree more if schools or in the world of education also hold or provide education about the introduction or knowledge of the negative impacts of gambling because in my opinion teaching by parents alone will not be enough, I think it would be better if there was action or a sustainable effort in school as well so that teenagers can form their self-control and not be trapped by gambling addiction problems.
Why I agree more is because I don't think all parents can provide good knowledge and understanding to their children about activities that can be detrimental to their children and I'm sure some parents don't even have the time to teach their children about all of them, that's because they are busy with their work.
Knowledge about recognizing the dangers or negative impacts of gambling and other juvenile delinquency is also very important education for the future of children and provides more insight and builds morals and responsibility for children in the future.

It is clearly the responsibility of parents to protect their children from the potential dangers of gambling and its impact or influence on their children's lives so that parents can implement better supervision. If our children can understand the bad effects of gambling and try to stay away from it and not gamble, their lives will be better because they will not have to face these things. Yes, gambling addiction can be treated, but you have to get support from other people and have a desire from within yourself to undergo treatment. We cannot imagine that our children will be addicted to gambling. That will hurt us as parents who have cared for them from childhood until they are adults.

Everyone has their own opinion on this matter, what drives you to agree that schools provide an understanding of the impact of gambling?? Isn't it unethical if schools provide knowledge about gambling, because schools are formal places to provide good education for students, even though in real life gambling backfires on society so in my opinion it is not appropriate to hold it at school, maybe it can be held outside the school with a theme "socialization of the impact of gambling on the younger generation" for example.

The experienced player had a good chance of the win the gambling as like the experienced people get profit from the trading.The parent can teach the gambling to their children,because the children automatically give their interest to their parents.So if the parent teach the children,atleast the children won’t get addicted to the gambling.The gambler can start to teach them from the poker game.So their children start to win from the poker game.One day the poker game will change their children life in good way.

I have done some bad choices because of addiction, but thing about addiction is that you can't really get rid of it without serious reprogramming of your dopamine reward system, and i don't think that would work either. It stays in you so you can only manage it.

Most people can manage gambling addiction only by staying far away from gambling situation. Or they end up losing so much that feeling of shame when they need to go and explain why they need money to pay their gambling debts from their family/closest friend, is burned in their mind more painful than any joy of past winning.

I have a small weekly budget that i won't deviate from, or i punish myself by not playing for a month if i slightly go over the budget. If i mess more then slightly, and go far over the budget i'll take more severe measures and don't play for longer time. Depending on the amount i messed up. Even if that going over the budget would get me back on profit, i had still crossed a line i had set to myself and i might as well had lost everything.

Experienced players do not guarantee that they will get a big chance of winning gambling. But if parents teach their children to gamble, there is still a possibility that their children will continue to gamble, perhaps without their parents knowing. We don't know what will happen to them, especially if they later gamble secretly. This can make them addicted to gambling because their parents have no supervision. At their age, they can easily provoked by their emotions to continue gambling without stopping and controlling their emotions.

I don't know about others but in my old school, we had this special song that we sang every morning at the assembly that pointed to gambling as a very bad thing for educated people, the song is all about educated people staying far away from gambling, as gambling can destroy their future and turn their lives around, I doubt this works because few of my colleague still gambles till this day, mostly in sports games.

No matter who you preach to or where the gambling education is coming from, not all those who listen to your advice will take the advice very seriously and work toward it, some people are so stubborn and always look at themselves as different beings, very special kinds, that whatever they touch will work out for them.

You know that we are mostly Bitcoin investors in this forum, and the government says to stay away from it, I refused and today I am still into Bitcoin, doesn't that make me a stubborn fella who follows only his mind too? See what I am talking about? The difference is mine favours me and I am happy about my decision.

I don't think that I have ever been addicted to gambling, it's just that now I have really reduced my gambling activities both in terms of the amount of time spent playing and the amount of money used, some time ago I felt that it had become too much, causing a bit of damage to my finances, Currently I'm still playing but not too active, when you still have a good focus on other things I think it will be quite easy for you to reduce gambling but if you are already in a state of addiction you will only be able to get out of that situation with the help of experts, because they will helps to change thought patterns and everything that makes someone addicted, without the help of a psychologist I think it will be difficult to recover from addiction.

So far I have not used the help of experts, actually what I do is one of the experiments, whether I am able to get out of the addiction zone without direct encouragement from experts. So far I have listened to the seniors who have written the story and their suggestions in order to reduce gambling addiction in this thread, it is quite good.

I have been able to control my gambling time today, so as not to overdo it in gambling, for more than a month I managed to control curiosity and ambitions when losing gambling, I think now it is much better, although sometimes I am also still out of control.

Just managing the gambling time that I cannot set well, I think it takes more time in this control.
I have to thank people who have shared experiences. :)

The experience gambler can help their friends who was new to the gambling.The gambling also had their advantages for the gambler who had some experience in the gambling.Because they know what will be the next dice in the dice game.The slot game also guess by the experienced gambler as compared to the normal gambler.The gambler who ready to hear the voice of the seniors had their own luck in their game.The senior words also help the gamblers to get away from the gambling addiction.The experienced gamblers know the tactics to get away from the gambling addiction.

That's right, with the experience that our senior friends have, it might help us to get a chance of winning, and reduce the chance of losing, because by listening to these experiences we accidentally also gain knowledge about how to play correctly.
I agree with you, listening to the experiences of seniors apart from increasing knowledge also teaches us not to become addicts, because it is very dangerous if people are addicted to gambling, maybe we can see from the behavior of these seniors and we should do that. able to imitate them in good things.

That's why it is important for someone to consider things such as religious and family morals before becoming addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction can seriously damage your finances. Someone who has a mediocre income when they decide to gamble will definitely become addicted and because of the limited money in their account, of course they will look for other ways such as going into debt or selling their assets. Because it is important for someone to be truly financially intelligent and also care about their family.

Yes, I understand very well that knowledge about gambling is important for children, why don't I agree? Firstly, gambling is not something that everyone has to know, yes, even if one day children find out about it, they will judge for themselves what gambling is like and what its impact is, secondly it is the same. smoking education in every school there must be education about smoking prohibitions for underage children but they are curious and instead try smoking without the knowledge of their teachers or parents, thirdly, gambling is not an education that is needed to gain knowledge because they go to school to gain useful knowledge if they are know what it is gambling and they cannot properly digest what the teacher conveys It could be that children will misinterpret it and instead try gambling because usually children have a high curiosity.

This is why when we learn from others who are more experienced than us, we can avoid all this negative things. Gambling is a fun activity and it can be done without having a negative effect. You can gamble without going into debts or becoming addicted. You just have to discipline yourself and only gamble on a budget, don't chase losses and always learn from your mistakes and those of others. If we want to be better we have to be willing to see what others are doing wrong and change that.

We're making it source like gambling has no positive impact but that's not true, nothing in the world can all be negative, gambling has some positive impact. You can have a mediocre income but still not get addicted to gambling, both the rich and be poor can get addicted therefore it isn't only lack of money that can get you addicted.

If parents can teach religion to their children well, whatever their religion, their children will try to always follow what they have been taught. They will not act in violation of the rules or be part of illegal activities or things that could cause problems in their lives. And that will carry over until they grow up because they have been educated from childhood by their parents so that they will always remember it. And maybe those children will never gamble and not experience gambling addiction because they are far from gambling. And they will also definitely care about their family because family is the most important thing to them.

With such a basis and with wise decision not to follow those wrong practices, you'll be able to manage an entertaining and enjoyable journey, most of the time, those who got carried away and following their emotions are the one who are prone to addictions, learning from that pattern and avoiding it to happen to you or similar with how they get attach is something that you can work on.
 
Keep the entertainment and the budget limitation forward. Make sure to do your best to avoid losing control. That will give you a chance to enjoy your gambling experience.

And why would the parents skip supervising their children? That is basically reckless parenting, and children who are taught something and aren't supervised after that, might get curious and try it but if parents make sure that they stay away from that thing, they will obviously keep an eye on their activities after that. I would never just leave my children to do whatever they want, especially if I teach them about something severe like gambling.

I'm personally not a fan of teaching children about such things if they are not old enough, let them stay away from it if they don't know about it already because once you mention it, they will have it in their minds. Let them grow up and once they ask you about it, then you can tell them the pros and cons of it.

Religion is something very delicate, you just have to look at the problem or the war conflict that exists between Gaza and Israel, this is a conflict only for the sake of religion, for me religion is a path to reach God, what should be taught to children apart from having a perception about religions are values, values that do not allow them to go crazy when they are in the game, in a casino when they are grown up, above all teach children the value of money, because they will have control over the money and that is where the problem will be, if they are not good at having money, then they simply will not have a good life, that must be taught.

It is true, religion is a sensitive and delicate matter in a person's life. However, each person has a different perspective regarding religion itself, by teaching a good understanding of religion in order to form good personal and mental character, apart from that it also needs to be balanced with knowledge about financial values ​​in a person in everyday life. In gambling, if both are done optimally, it is very likely that a person will not become addicted to gambling, meaning that he knows that according to his religion, gambling is bad behavior, whereas in terms of the value of money, if a person cannot manage his money when gambling, he will become poor. because of the consequences of gambling.
Well, in this case understanding religion and the value of money are equally important for someone to gamble.

Getting addicted to gambling to the extend that you run into debt is the worst thing that can ever happen to that individual.It is true and not even bad that one will gamble,and as things may be,become addicted,but when it gets to the stage that you still borrow just to gamble is really bad to even immagine.Some persons have wasted their life's just because they couldn't control their emotions when the urge to borrow money came,some persons even sell their properties just to gamble,and I wonder what they will be thinking when they do such thing without even having pity for themselves.It is just very good to gamble responsibly and wisely,not allowing anything to get to our head to the extend the gambling controls us instead of us controlling our habbit.

I believe the conflict between Israel and Gaza goes beyond religion.  As far as I read, Israel had occupied some of the territories  (West Bank and Gaza strip) that belonged to the Palestinian and they wanted to take it back which resulted in terrorism and attacks of Palestinians to Israel.

When it comes to gambling, many religious groups are against the act of gambling since they think that it belittles the power of their God since people rely on gambling activity for their sustenance than believing God will provide their needs.

In order to avoid being a gambling addict, one must know the essence of discipline or responsible gambling.  Any means of financial knowledge can be ruined if a person become addicted to gambling.  So as an act of responsible gambling, self-moderation must be observed.

Good and valid point of view! Why would you let those young minds un-supervised, it's illogical since you fully understand the risk, you need to continue guiding them curiosity can lead them to deeper addiction if you mismanage to supervised their activities, as parents you have that responsibilities even your kids is already in their right age parenting doesn't mean that it's already stop.

Your guidance will always be the light for your children. Preparing them and continuously guiding them will give them better understanding and better judgement in terms of something like gambling, in case you allow them to learn or you open it up to them. You should not stop from monitoring to make sure that they are not engaging too much without any control.

If you look at the parenting patterns of parents today, they tend to give their children what they want instead of giving them what they need. Their parents are too busy with their work, so they cannot always supervise their children well and hand over supervision of their children to their caregivers. Caregivers who are not parents teach what they know but don't know whether it is suitable for the children or will have other impacts. But if parents can supervise their children well, their children will not do things that could harm their lives.

I am also like you. I still try to supervise my children even though I know I need to learn a lot to supervise and pay attention to my children. But at least I try to be close to them and always be there when they need me. And yes, let them grow up and enjoy their lives well.

Parents slack behind about their jobs of bringing up a child, we tend to cater for our children and provide the basic needs and wants for them. We're the light and our children copy every single thing we show them. Teaching our kids the procedures involving in gambling is totally wrong, instead educate and enlighten their minds on good opportunities life offers and how they can grown to become responsible to themselves. Teens should be guided at all times because they're growing into the maturity, in less than no time they would take good care of themselves and held unto responsibility because we can be taking care of them till their own.

If you are a successful businessman or a boss, maybe you have a lot of time to pay attention to your children and supervise them all the time because you can just stay at home watching them and let your subordinates trust you to manage your business, but if you are a worker it will obviously be difficult. because it will take up your time while working, but no matter how hard you watch them it won't help you more, you might also neglect your business or work

The point is, just entrust it to someone who looks after them or your wife because they might understand them better and be able to supervise them full time, whereas you are a man who has to work and do business outside the home to support them so it won't be possible to always be at home, the point is to give a message to your nanny and wife about the dangers of gambling and keep them away from there.

At least we have a partner who can help supervise and pay attention to our children so they don't do bad things. This requires cooperation with our partners so that each can do their job well because it is all for our children. And every parent is willing to do the best for their children.

But if they already have a gambling addiction, getting them out of there may take more work. And even though we don't know how long we can help the healing process, we must continue to accompany him so that he knows we are always with him. We as parents, might be able to ask him to do something to divert his attention so he can focus on other things.

If maybe its too bad because you are addicted, you have to need help from all means, such as help from psychiatric doctor and we have to provide close support and if everything seems to have improved, it would be better to give him activities or a little work to divert his mind, not only focus on gambling and someone I know used this method when they wanted to quit their addiction and look for alternative brain therapy by working.

Wow this is such a great piece of advice right here, OP I hope you figure this out for your sake and your families sake. Gambling addictions are no joke and you must figure this out for yourself.

Addiction is a very complicated situation that needed a serious guidelines to be followed for the Victim to get a ease and become a better person. Gambling usually is very risky and we need to make sure that we do things that would not increase our urge to bet too frequent. One of the ways to quite addiction is to have people around the patient that would take his way from gambling. Sometimes it get worsen when we always take idol with nothing to do. Being idol can make us to see the world from different angle and that alone can make us see gambling as a means to interact and get busy.

How to overcome addiction by changing your mindset. It should be ingrained in your head that a person's greatest victory is to stop gambling and that is a victory. So basically just let it go, because most people are addicted to gambling because they want to get back the money they lost while gambling, so you keep playing, so that in the hope of making a profit, you end up making a profit. lost. The burden that must be borne because of this bad habit has become a risk. But you have to believe that everything has a silver lining. As long as you are willing to try, and be patient, I'm sure you can get through it.

Indeed, if we are addicted, our minds will always be focused there and hope to win and win, even though defeat is right before our eyes. When we lose, we will not be enthusiastic about doing any activities because we want to continue gambling with the target of winning.

Stop immediately with serious intentions, even if you gamble, be a responsible gambler.

The business people are easily manage their family,because they own the business.All the subordinate ready to work 24/7 for their boss,So the easy way to manage the family using your free time.If you are the worker,then manage of the family is not possible because you will do the work of the boss who stay at their home.Because they concentrate on other business or family after appoint you to that company.For the good salary the worker will work in office without going to their home.So you should learn from the experience by which if you become a boss using your hard work.You should work like the passive and don’t work like more active.

Giving out the responsibility of looking after your kids to some one else from outside is not ideal because it's definitely not a guarantee they would do their job exactly as expected of them, at some point they could be negligent or better still the kids could device means to get away with what ever it is they are doing around their guardians and you wouldn't get to know.

In the case of gambling addiction the kids could have gotten this trait and possibly hide it from their hired guardian and it will never come to their notice as they will not be with the kids always except during their official working hour's. So I don't think leaving them to a hired guardian will do any better on them as some guardians in the bid to act professionally will have restrictions and can not possibly monitor the child enough as you the parents will do.

In the case of the parents, you have full access and control over your kind at almost any point in time and you can take decision for them  without been cautioned and to a very large extent you could possibly pip into their privacy to get a glimpse of what they do, something your hired guardian could possibly not do, this way you can spot these habits earl enough to curb them.

True some kids are even a victim of child abuse done by their caretaker.  There are issues where the nannies are harming babies and were caught by cctv placed on the house.  Aside from that, there are care taker that shows no concern because they are not blood related and is just after the money that is given to do the job.


Aside from that these kids who know they are not blood-related pay no attention to the guardian's advice.  Some kids do some vices such as gambling to get the attention of their parents and some even do gambling due to possibly hate feeling since their parents ignore them.


As a parent, there should always a good communication between them and their kids.  Even though parents are busy with work, they must allocate time to show their affection to their kids.  Have their kids open up to them and make their kids feels secure and make them understand that parents are always there to help.

According to my experiences, I have seen that we can only control ourselves in gambling if we rarely play in the casino. Because if you increase your gambling in the casino, it is as if you are the one who is paving the way for you to eventually become addicted to it. In short, you are shaping yourself to be addicted to it in the future.

But if from the very beginning of your gambling you shape yourself in the right way of gambling that will not lead you to become an addict later on, for sure you will be able to manage your gambling correctly as time goes by so that you are not going to lead to something not good, instead you will be a responsible gambler that will not affect your character or damage your relationship with family and friends.

Professional help is a must when a person is already addicted, as even if the family members of the addicted have good intentions they do not really know what steps to take to help their loved ones.

And even if they spent a great deal of their time with them and they kept watch over the addicted in order to stop them if they wanted to gamble again, this only increases the dependency they have on their family, and once you leave them alone the very first thing they will do is to look for the nearest source which can satisfy their cravings.

Getting a professional to help cure his gambling addiction is necessary, apart from the support of his family members, so that the gambling addict sees that he still has other people who care about him. He will see it as an encouragement and support for him to be able to undergo the healing process and will not find it difficult to go through it. And maybe there is a healing process that requires him to do activities to divert his attention from gambling. And everything will go well if there is attention from everyone so that without realizing it, he manages to cure his gambling addiction.

Apart from that, we will not know what we will teach our children, so there may be differences with what we teach our children when we return to our children. They may not really care about our children and only teach our children as they are without giving our children genuine love. And it is clearly different if the parents give love to their children.

Yes, that's because the hired guardians only work according to their jobs, get paid, and are no longer responsible for their children when they return home. They will hand the children over to their parents and will return the next day as usual while the children are already asleep when their parents return. The guardian cannot decide everything and must wait for approval from the parents when something needs to be decided, so it may take a while before deciding something for the children.

And that is why parents should take care of their children and not hand them over to guardians. It will also bring the relationship between parents and their children closer so that there will be a special feeling that cannot be explained.

Yes, maybe the role of a professional can help in this problem, but I don't think it will be completely influential because in essence they will be able to get the cure if they want it for something better. But the problem is that it is very difficult to be able to restore the addicted mindset to normal again, almost all of their thoughts have been instigated in gambling, their expectations are too high so that they always spin in a gambling cycle that never has a limit.

Basically, it is quite difficult to cure someone from gambling addiction, especially if it is at a high level. But that doesn't mean we have to just let it go, we still have to make efforts as the closest person to him or his family, calling those who are already professionals is pretty good, and also in my opinion they as his family should try to provide other activities to that person, just give or invite them to do other activities that are still fun but there is no risk in it,
so that slowly they will be a little distracted from the gambling mind, and well with some advice too of course.

yep, indeed everything you say is very correct, when an addict who wants to recover from his addiction gets great support from the people around him, it makes his mental strength become more enthusiastic to recover from his addiction.

this is the negative impact of gambling too often, ignoring the risks and not being able to control oneself, becoming addicted, which has a slightly complicated stage recovering from the addiction, and conversations like this should make us all understand how risky gambling is if we take it too seriously, such as thinking about getting money, which ends in regret. chasing defeat and becoming a loss. I just hope that anyone reading here is a little more aware to really understand how gambling works.

It will also raise awareness in him that he can heal with the help of the people around him because he knows they care about his life. This will give him greater enthusiasm to quickly recover from his gambling addiction and not repeat the mistakes that made him fall into gambling.

He has felt the negative impact of gambling, so he intends not to experience it again. And even if he returns to gambling, he will be more responsible than before because he has experienced bad events in his past. However, some people will not return to gambling and will probably help other gambling addicted people to provide something useful that can help other people recover from their gambling addiction.

       -  Perhaps it's not a bad idea to reiterate or teach, at least in school, the negative effects of gambling when it is used improperly and shouldn't be available to minors. I don't see anything bad; the only issue I have is when we see people gamble who are not of the appropriate age since no one has ever explained what gambling is to them.

Given that it is still a matter of knowledge whether it should be done or not, it is my opinion that it is only necessary to explain the negative effects of gambling to everyone, regardless of age. It is just that easy to grasp.

If that was the after effects then it may give it a good practice but most of the time, when an addicted gambler goes back to his usual way of gambling things is un-controllable there's always a possibility that he will just repeat that same mistake and will undergo with the same problem that he just went thru, it's best not to come back or not to try playing again to surely quit away from it and if chances will be given, guiding others with this possible problem to raise will be a good help avoid anyone to engage and possibly get addicted.

If you think it's good, I don't blame your opinion, bro, maybe what you mean is that outside of school hours students are guided or taught about the impacts or risks of gambling, I don't think that will be a problem. .
Apart from school, parents must also guide their children at home in knowing what gambling is and its impacts, because at this age children are still very vulnerable in carrying out all activities, by paying special attention and monitoring their child's behavior. it would reduce the chances of them entering the world. gambling, because good understanding will be easy to accept even if slowly.

Yes, they can return to gambling again even though they have tried to get gambling treatment. That is normal because he will not always be able to control himself, especially since he has just started healing. The important thing is that he knows what to do because he knows the preventive measures if he starts having the same problems. What is done during the healing process can help him not to be tempted by anything in gambling so that by continuing to learn to cure his gambling addiction, he will be able to recover from his gambling addiction.

Well when we talk about addiction it is a very broad topic, generally when we emphasize with respect to them we can have some things that can be sensitive for some players, and those things are what can make the difference if some of them You can leave it aside, in the forum I have seen that things are focusing a lot on what addiction is and this makes me think that when we can do things that we can help it is much better, when I have seen that there are people who are in an addiction problem and they say that their friends help them or can help them, well I completely agree with that, because the first people who can help in the most immediate way are friends, because sometimes the trust with them is superior Of course, the family has absolute support, but things tend to be too difficult when it's with them, so sometimes we trust people or third parties more than the family.

Addiction is a topic that for those who suffer from it is very sad, sometimes they do not realize the things that they can harm or do when they start inventing, but what I am saying is that at the moment it is the most remote idea that he is falling into addiction, we have to act, or stop gambling or stop spending money, or stop being involved in the casino, because that's the only way problems will arise, both in the family and at work, like that. As in any event that is planned in life, it is not healthy to do it, it is not good for anyone, if there is a family associated, and if you have or are one less head of the family, things must be very emphatic Regarding this, What I think is that when something like this happens, it should be attacked, and as I said, in the forum there must be many who are going through that problem, but here we are to help them with that problem , even if it is by making them forceful, if it is possible, So some advice is not bad, if someone identifies with what we say , then they are free to choose if they want to let us Help them.

We all know how gambling can affect the life of an individual person, especially if he’s into addiction. So as much as possible, we should not encourage our children to get attached with gambling. However, that does not mean that we can still control them in the future if they really want to engage in gambling. So the best approach is just to educate them the risks about gambling and make them understand that it should only serve as a source of entertainment, but never expect that it will be a sustainable source of living. That way, if ever they will gamble in the future, at least they are aware already the negative things about gambling.

Letting them to understand things that important to know will give them enlightenment and guidance to avoid making that mistake, most of the time those who thinks that gambling is the easiest way to earn money got attached too much and become addicted, we can't control our children's future but we can always have that way to properly give them the right pattern in life, experienced already dictates that the influences of parents established that big parts of our children's belief, just be there when things is just starting and you can take over most of the time when your child is trying to explore for something new.

You are very correct and I agree with you completely, and the most profound thing you mentioned is that we cannot control our children forever, this is absolutely true, but in terms of gambling, i do not see any need to talk to our children about it until they become teenagers and probably get themselves involved in gambling maybe through those they keep as friends. For we as parents, it is already known that children will naturally want to do what they see their parents doing, so on this note, we have a responsibility to do and keep all our gambling activities away from our children totally, by doing this, we will never have to talk to them about gambling because they will never get involved in it.

So, when our children grow up to become teenagers and we discover they are into gambling, first, we will have to find out from them where they got the idea of gambling, after learning this, we can now educate them on the danger of gambling and possibly ask them to keep away from friends leading them into gambling, because for me, any child still in school should not engage in gambling, not under my roof.

Our children are not completely ours, they are free to do whatever they like and whatever they want. However, we as parents are obliged to guide and direct our children so that they do not go in the wrong direction.

Adolescence is a time when the level of curiosity is at its highest and they always want to do new things that they have never done before, including gambling, so it is true what you say that we must give them an understanding first as a provision before exploring the outside world. , because then at least they can differentiate between good and bad, positive and negative, so that later they will try not to do things that will only harm themselves.

I disagree if we assume that our children are not entirely ours, honestly this statement is quite confusing, but well forget it. Of course we can give freedom to our children but that doesn't mean we give freedom in everything, of course it must be supervised too, if indeed they do something that can harm themselves or even others then obviously we have to stop it, as you said the role of parents is nothing but educating, protecting and directing them.

I agree with that statement, because it is true that they have a high level of curiosity about new things that they first find, they really want to try it, gambling is no exception. If we parents are careless in supervising them then it is very likely that they will enter the gambling zone and we will be surprised when we find out. One of the factors that will be able to greatly influence them is from the surrounding environment, so we as parents must really be able to provide very good understanding and learning to them, and also even though you release them but still have to be under strict supervision as well.

Parents need to have that kind of talk with their kids as soon as possible, since gambling is not only easily available to them thanks to smartphones, now gambling is also included in many video games as a feature and yet it is completely unregulated.

So if you wait until they are older to explain to them why gambling at such an age is a bad idea, it is likely they could have experimented with gambling already and your advice is coming too late to make any sort of impact, fortunately most people understand the nature of gambling early on and think of it as just a way to get some fun, but many others fail to learn this and try to make a living out of it despite how unlikely it is for them to ever reach their goal.

Yes, before it's too late to realize this, parents should approach their children as soon as possible so that later, there will be regrets from parents and their children affected by gambling. We know gambling can take its place easily and even in games we never expected. That is why parental supervision is still needed even though their children have grown up because if their children take the wrong path, it will also impact the family.

Parents must implement education and supervision from an early age when they still really need guidance from their parents so that they can differentiate between what is good and bad for them. If children already know that gambling is entertainment and there are more dangerous impacts behind it all, they will not try it because the impact can spread everywhere. And that will also put their lives at risk.

Nowadays, parents' supervision is not good, sometimes only concerned with gadgets than their children, of course this is not good for the children out there with free association can plunge them into negative things even worse if they have entered into gambling or drugs that both involve addiction, explaining to them at a fairly large age is certainly not the right time but it's too late to tell them. maybe it's true that they have entered into gambling and are experiencing a period of addiction to gambling with the lure of a big win.

Maybe they play gambling just for fun, but the nature of people no one knows how the mindset that exists in a person there are those who can control themselves there are also those who cannot control themselves, for example, people who are heavily addicted to gambling, of course this is not a good thing. This can be bad for himself and even his family can be adversely affected by gambling, only a few people can play gambling by controlling themselves without being heavily addicted to gambling, but it all depends on their respective mindsets but in my opinion most people who play gambling are certainly addicted and will continue to play until they get a big win that can make him feel satisfied with the winnings he gets.

Teaching about the negative effects of gambling is truly a good idea. Many people aren't only committed on it so having it as one of the subjects in school can fix the issue. Teachers are being paid for their teaching so I don't think they are still motivated to teach it outside of school hours. Maybe playing a gambling can be enjoyed during those times.

I'm referring to when the students are already outside of campus because it looks inappropriate if done inside and I think some schools are strict about it. It's okay if the parents won't bother about this matter because parents are also busy on their work. And I'm sure students will already obey what their teachers taught to them.

Totally useless but its not bad to have those kind of sharing about the potential risks and scenarios that could happen into someone if they would really be that careless on doing gambling on which it could really potentially messes up someones life if they would really be having that uncontrolled manner on dealing with gambling or simply doesnt really have that kind of moderation on which this is something that it is really that crucial when it comes to gambling. Learning up from real experience wouldnt really be that so necessary because if you are really just that a certain type of person on whose really that open minded then you could really actually be able to avoid such scenario without needing on experiencing it on which it is really just that a common approach on things.

In not all cases, I have experienced what the OP says, or I get addicted to gambling, but I quit at some point because I notice how I become miserable. But it is not easy; you will still have the urge to gamble, so instead of totally quitting, I let my mind and hobby adjust. What I did was still play, but in a controlled state, and slowly I limited my gambling expenses until I noticed that I didn't hunger for gambling anymore. Of course, I did many things to achieve that, but I started to find other things that could get my attention. Like trading crypto or playing games, and playing sports with friends. In short, in order for me to overcome my addiction, I simply find other things that are more meaningful than wasting money on gambling. I don't literally quit gambling; let's say I only play once a month just for entertainment, and the money I use is the money that I can afford to lose.

Yes, providing knowledge about the risks of gambling is a good idea, but if teachers provide understanding about gambling to their students and are still in the school environment, I think it still needs attention. How could that be?? because school is a formal place to educate students to behave well, while gambling is bad behavior, so I think this needs to be reconsidered.
Yes, even though there is minimal parental supervision at home when it comes to gambling, it would be better for them to get knowledge about gambling from their parents, not from their teachers at school.
Yes, although everyone has different opinions, I also don't blame your opinion. :)

Maybe after students receive education about gambling at school, they will try to gamble at online casinos or even visit illegal casinos that accept underage children. This will educate children to behave badly and maybe they will like gambling secretly because they feel they can enjoy their days more. Gambling education should indeed be taught by their parents so that they can gain knowledge appropriate to their age. Parents need to pay attention to this so that their children do not do things that are not good at their age so that they will not get into trouble either.

It's funny that the guys on the YouTube channels, Twitch, they are professional players or players with a lot of experience in games, they know that games are not things for people to make money constantly, but as they are being sponsored by casinos, so they will tell people they can play that there are no problems. and the owners of the stream channels always post the games in which they bet or play and put a lot of money into the bet and as a result, people think that there is no problem in playing. because of the way people think they should copy other experienced people so newbies lose money

and this doesn't just happen in gambling, for example people go on social media and all they see are other people posting photos in expensive places and with good clothes, so the tendency is for everyone else to copy that lifestyle , even if it means killing, stealing and lying to get a lot of money. In the case of gambling, people need to pay a lot of attention to this, they should not copy other people. They must create their own strategies and not be dependent on people on the internet who claim to be professionals

You shouldn't be fooling yourself that as a person has been playing for 10 years then that person has become a genius at gambling and if they copy them then they will make a lot of profits, that's not true. In the world of gambling, these types of things are no guarantee of success. Most people lose, so each person must make an effort and create strategies on their own and not become dependent on other people. It's a serious mistake to depend on other people in the world of gambling, some people wait for tips from a website to be able to place bets

This is an absurd statement, I mean is it true that there are some colleges that teach about gambling to minors? and how do they convince the parents of the students to put their children in the school, while on the other hand as we how the perspective of gambling in the eyes of society, and maybe it will only happen in some countries that do legalize gambling. Honestly, I can't stop thinking if this happens in the real world, but never mind. I will focus more on the impact they will feel when they grow up, and one of my questions is whether there are parents who will be proud of their child's gambling achievements? if someone says yes then maybe I will say that the person who says yes is one of the victims of gambling too or maybe still trapped in the wrong mindset when it comes to gambling.

Enjoying gambling will only happen for a few moments and then they will suffer from the impact of gambling itself, especially for children who are still underage, then I make sure their future will be worse than imagined. Gambling is really not recommended for minors, and I'm sure all parents don't want their children to get caught up in addiction which will clearly cause a lot of problems in their future.

I prayed none of my colleagues get addicted because it's the worst thing that can happen to any gambler in the system. We do anything to win, survive is winning, that's the major points to understand. There are numerous sectors in gambling but sticking to a particular one will do some great help. Gambling is unpredictable, the worst happens and we also hoped for better results in every single game we place wager on. Applying preventive measures will do serve important purposes in our daily lives. Experience is important to be obtained in the space, we have good paths that sets us out to be cautious when dealing with the system.

I think one of the first thing to tell anyone who's just gambling for the first time is to be told of the risks involved in gambling but most importantly to me is go tell the person about addiction and why he must do everything within his power not to be addicted in gambling.
Though not everyone who's new to gambling will want to seek for the experience of those who's been gambling for years but in other to extend our hands of love to one another, it's good to let get the full knowledge of gambling and why they should regulate their gambling activities in other not to get addicted

That's right, what I'm worried about will happen as you mentioned above, if teachers at school between lessons also provide an understanding of the impact of gambling, then it is possible that some students will be curious and secretly they will learn to play online gambling. between groups of students.
And the person who should provide understanding about gambling, in my opinion, is the parents themselves, because good children will be obedient and obedient to their parents in areas of understanding including gambling, and parents should educate when children are old enough so that they can understand it clearly even though slowly.

Parents is the one that should be responsible for explaining things like this to their children, it's much appreciated by kids especially if the communication between them and their parents are intact, with pure love and affections parents can deliver strong and understandable words that can easily gain the trust of those young minds.

I believe that if parents will do their job and will keep guiding those young people, they will be able to manifest the right understanding into gambling.

I don't know about that because I've never met him. But maybe schools are already introducing gambling or how to prevent someone from becoming addicted to gambling. But basic education starts at home, where parents educate their children about many things to prepare them for adulthood. Parents teach everything they know so that their children can adapt to the environment they live in once they grow up so they don't take the wrong path. So in this case, parents have to pay attention to their children, while if their children are at school, they still remember what their parents have taught them.

Yes, the impact of gambling will be felt even for an extended period. So we can imagine what would happen to children if they were exposed to gambling when they were still young. These children's future will be bad if there is no serious treatment from their parents to keep them away from things that could negatively impact them.

Hopefully, teachers at schools can think about the impacts that could occur after they teach lessons about gambling. Children who have received this lesson can gamble with their friends at school or after coming home because they want to know more about gambling. Instead of inviting other people or their parents to discuss gambling, they find out more about gambling with their friends, which can give them a negative perception. Parents should provide understanding about gambling because parents live with their children and educate them so they don't go down the wrong path.

Being in a situation where you lose control of your gambling activities and be addicted is the worst thing you could experience thru gambling though it might be common but some are worst than others which I don't want people I know of to experience.
Preventive measure are good to avoid going back to the addiction however sticking and commiting to it is what gamblers needs to do which is quite hard. I've personally had multiple plans back then but I barely follow through it which almost had me broke. The only thing that made me a responsible gambler is when I lost my interest to gambling (I still want to gamble but not the same as I was before) due to losing a significant amount that could've change my life. Honestly, it's hard to overcome gambling addiction until you experienced a bad turn.

I agree that even after doing everything one can get addicted again if spending time with other addicts or in an addictive environment. This applies to anyone who has been addicted and is at risk of becoming addicted again. A very interesting thing that is missing in real life and attracts gamers is the ability to start over in case of damage. It will take time to get better but with good treatment gambling addiction can regain control along with that there will be an opportunity to regain the lost honor meaning social establishment profession.

Agree, it is from parents that children should get an understanding of gambling, not from teachers at school, and it is very likely that children will trust and obey their parents' orders more because what you say is true, there is a strong inner attachment, so much love and sincerity parents so that children can easily carry out orders without any coercion.

Most parents will definitely try their best to ensure that their children behave well, prevent their children from being tempted to gamble, and of course parents already know their children's personal character, with guidance without any coercion so that children can easily understand everything. instructions that parents say, even in this case. gradually.

A person must really be able to take care of himself and not hang out with friends who still often gamble because if not, everything he does could fail, and he won't be able to heal himself properly. He will end up gambling again, and this time, he could be worse than before because he is back to his previous self. They must be able to distance themselves from friends who gamble for any reason because it is also for their own good so that the healing process can be successful. After they recover, they will not be tempted to return to gambling again.

Experience is too much essential in gambling. Experience helps you to increase the winning rates in gambling. If you got someone experienced in gambling in my opinion you are the most luckyest person person to have a chance to learn from a experience person. I started gambling my own and I don't have any person who is experience and who will teach me I have seen some YouTube videos and I am cricket lover and I usually gamble in a cricket match. After doing gambling how many time it will get you experience and it will increase your winning rates. I am not too much lucky in gamble I don't have any experienced person in my life who will teach me Gambler I do it my own. From now to them I am trying to do my best and try to learn it my own. But in my opinion if you no someone who is experience in gambler you should learn from him or her because it will more helpful for you and it's better than learn you own.

If they are really serious in their intention to quit then I think they will be able to prevent everything that comes close to them that can make them remember gambling again. Especially if they are in an environment that is active in gambling, it is very difficult to avoid because this concerns their friendship with other friends, it is quite confusing when they are in a condition like this between having to choose friends or stop gambling by staying away from the environment.

I think this decision will come back to them and also depends on their intentions, whether they really want to quit or just nonsense. Honestly this is a pretty tough problem in my opinion and maybe I won't give too significant advice but certainly if you really want to get out of the gambling zone then you should be able to do everything as a precaution, I'm sure you must know what is best for you, so please think and consider, your friends there will not care about all your slump in gambling. So in my opinion there is nothing wrong if you limit your friendships in your environment.

It is good to learn from the experienced gamblers around us to avoid making unnecessary mistakes while gambling, however, we need to be very careful in the kind of things we learn, there are gamblers with bad gambling traits that shouldn't be advised for someone to go through them in gambling, we have to look in well enough to see that they are of good reputation before we start moving closer to them for learning about gambling in moreover, gambling is what we can also learn by ourselves without seeking anyone's assistance if we give it time.
