The happiness of a forum member should be appreciated, since he's made himself proud by purchasing a TV set. At least to make his moments memorable and remember he bought the TV with money earned through gambling. Using our winning responsibly could have different meaning and gamblers need to understand that what may be sound as responsible to forum member A may not for B. That's the reason why some members wouldn't accept that Op was responsible with his winning by purchasing a Television set with all the money he's won. It's more like staking back immediately all the money back to gambling. However, how we use our money shouldn't be anybody's business. What matters is that we are happy. To me as gamblers we tend to manage our winnings such that we can have some money left for gambling. Spending all of it, can lead us to gamble with our personal money. Using our winnings responsibly would help us to not run out of bank roll while gambling.

As a gambler what do you think that should be the right time we suppose to leave gambling weather we are making profits or we are not making profits with gambling, because I know quite well that gambling whenever you are making profits you will wish to continue gambling unless that you run out of cash.

I don't think a gambler can be stopped because of old age as long as he is a responsible gambler and it does not interfere with his finances, or his health and doesn't cause a rift in a family, when you treat gambling as a form of entertainment I don't think you can just let it go like that.
Gamblers who should retire are those who are badly losing money that they don't need to lose and who are neglecting their health and their family these are the people who need to stop gambling to save themselves.
But if you're good you don't need to do anything you can play as long as you can.

The old people who have enough money to finance their gambling habit have no reason to stop gambling. It's mainly a matter of decision. And asking aged men why they are into gambling is a biased behavior. Because some other people offer services in the market while others still participate in games like lawn tennis. I think before one bothers about one old person who gambles he should go ahead to question every old person he sees being busy with his time. Activities like gambling keeps their brain busy and helps them tackle boredom. We understand they need to rest and be attended to by loved ones. But life isn't good that way. It's preferably better for the person to exercise himself, take a walk and cover some distances. However, those who abuse gambling at old age should be cautioned and stopped by their loved ones or family. So that they won't undergo a difficult situation like lose of their retirement plans.
1143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: January 07, 2024, 11:22:20 AM
i think the average gambler has a character like that when they gamble for the first time, because i have also experienced something like that where i gambled quite recklessly and was impatient to win big. it was only some time after i started gambling that i was able to control this, although at times i also took bigger risks, but not as often as when i first started gambling.

i think it's not an alter ego, but more just our natural nature, because maybe people can appear relaxed and calm on the outside, but when they gamble they forget to control themselves and this leads to them showing an impatient and aggressive attitude.

That should be an alter ego, because from the Op his friend has been a gambler and already devised his own strategy of taking risk in gambling. And without risk he won't earn big. So he chose to take the risk while gambling, but his personality isn't a type that cherish taking risk. However, he only need to begin trying out risks on other activities of his, maybe in his business. Because as a gambler, applying what gambling teaches on our daily life activities helps us to outperform our competitors.  I'm of the type that have same behavior whether in gambling or outside of it. I don't act differently. Gambling have some correlation with the real life and it's required for gamblers to take gambling serious, like it's a virtual lifestyle. Don't know if his friend is profiting from his actions, but it's not a good strategy for gamblers to gamble recklessly, when they can't live a reckless life. Living a reckless lifestyle is wrong, so those who gamble recklessly will as well face the consequences as though they're living a reckless life.

It can be done alone but it will be more effective if it is accompanied by the help of others like the suggestion you said by asking for prayers to priests and not only that, on the other hand there must also be an agreement with the closest people to keep us from getting into the same hole like always reminding us every time or preventing us when we want to gamble. Honestly on the other hand I am one of the people who was able to recover from gambling addiction in my own way, did not need the help of others and I did everything based on self-awareness, if you want to get out of gambling then you should try to keep yourself busy with other things one of which is like adding work, don't spend even a little time without activity, do it and let me know if it doesn't work for you. Wink

I've tried engaging in activities every single minute of my time, and when I'm not busy I sleep. These things work, but keeping up with the routine is another work. Which requires will power to accomplish. We've been through problems that takes up our time and doesn't allow us to engage on other activities easily, but sometimes we tend to stop it, but it persists. The best solution is for the person to travel to a place where such activities would be hard for him to participate. Because recently, I saw a friend who told me he's no longer a part of his addiction. And it was as if an easy decision but, he was actually very sick and after he survived it he concluded not to engage in such activities anymore. Something leads to change. Most gamblers who felt they can't stop gambling, only had a rethink when their device had a problem, during the period of fixing the gadget, the gambler began to change his habit on gambling. People behave differently, and not everyone visited a therapist before they got cured of their addiction.
1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mental rehabilitation clinic. on: January 07, 2024, 10:45:00 AM
Now imagine that this gambling expert is you. What arguments will you give? What will you tell the patient about?
Please note that the patient will resist to the last. He will give counterarguments. For example, that he will get rich in the future, he’s just not lucky yet.
Just let him to gamble everything he have, when he already lost everything, it's high likely he will realized how stupid he's and want to completely stop gambling. There's no way to convince or discuss about him to stop gamble because you said he will counter all of your arguments, so he try to make you to never win.

That's similar to prove transwomen if them was a male, you will never ever to win against them. Tongue

They should be an interpersonal relationship between both the addict and the therapist. If such relationship is not established, they won't be any change in the addicts plan of stopping gambling. And for a gambler to visit the clinic he has already concluded within himself to change his bad habit. So, treating him won't be that difficult. Provided that the doctor isn't ushering advice to him, that's where the argument begin to erupt. It's more of a discussion section. Where the both people will begin to like each others presence. Then whatever the therapist says would register in the addict's brain. Then he'll go home to think about it. We all know that our friends have impact in us, they can influence us, that's how therapy works. They tend to create a friendship with the addict and prove to him they're not in his life to tell him gambling is wrong or right. The aim is opening up to him that he could actually gamble at a lesser rate each day without having any trouble, thereby saving himself some funds.
1146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: January 07, 2024, 10:35:51 AM
It is not necessary that with prevent someone from gambling just because they are mentally ill. Maybe he finds it peace of mind by gambling after everything that he has endured. Every coin has two sides and I don't think it is different here. If that makes him happy, then why not let him do it.
If he is doing something bad and cannot stop it, then it is our responsibility to at least try to talk to him and get him out of this situation. If not then there's nothing wrong here. Let the man enjoy his life.
We do what we think is possible and leave the activities that will implicate us. Constant practice and acknowledgement of the system, a gambler will observe things will gradually fall in place. I've watch and knotted quite significant in the system, but as we all know, this things doesn't last and I'm already getting worried because man needs steady flow of cash and we ought to be creating different sources of income to stay stable. Gambling is only for those in their balance mental state and not those that finds it difficult to concentrate due to the mentally unstable manner.

The world is free for people to participate in any game that pleases them, but people are only moderated not to fail the society. Because whatever decision we choose to take, affects us, our family and the society. So, if a person isn't harming people close to him, I don't think he's taken any wrong decision. Like in the situation of the man in Op's thread. If he's mentally unstable and causes discomfort to his loved ones, he should be restricted from gambling. Since the attendant doesn't bother about the man's presence and his family doesn't complain. No need to bother about his gambling well-being. He could as well be getting things wrong, if he sees gambling as a means of earning a second income. Gambling isn't a side hustle, because it's not certain what the outcome of our game would  become. A lot of people are mentally unstable, and the casino will find it very difficult to distinguish between who is problematic or not. That will be a hard task to restrict mentally unstable people from using the casino.
1147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: January 07, 2024, 10:22:50 AM

If a gambler realizes that his gambling activities can make his relationship with other family members experience undesirable things, he should try to reduce his gambling activities. He needs to get closer to the other members of his family so that their relationship can be restored to normal. He also doesn't need to gamble to get pleasure, but he can do activities together with his family members, which can also provide pleasure. This will benefit him and other family members more because they can become closer in their family relationships and provide comfort in their household. But they can continue gambling, and as long as they can take good care of themselves, their household relationships will not be disturbed because they can differentiate between their gambling activities and their household.

Creating fun activities with his family would help him a long way in regaining his attitudes back and love his home once again. Gamblers visit casinos out of boredom and money. While some doesn't care about the money, they need fun at all time to stay happy. A man who runs a healthy family shouldn't bother about being addicted in gambling. He could be gambling once a while and it won't cost his home any much trouble. The main problem is gambling every day. It's not advisable because things could get out of hand some day. He could spend the money meant for gambling on other activities like visiting the zoo with his family. Those memories can help reconstruct his brain and make him think accurately. Nothing is wrong with developing a habit. What is problematic is failing to moderate one self and acting in a way that people close to us now suffer because of our gambling habit.
1148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Answer this Gambling Question on Duration of Joy after a win or loss on: January 07, 2024, 10:10:57 AM
Gamblers' joy after winning or losing differs tremendously. Long-term effects of these encounters affect our views and habits. Winning releases dopamine, a feel-good neurotransmitter. Joy often lasts only as long as the celebration. It may last a few hours while they replay the occasion, but for others, it fades after the money or game.

However, loss can have a greater emotional impact. Losses might affect us emotionally and change our strategies or views about luck and competence. This contemplation may persist until the following game or longer, depending on resiliency and gambling outlook. Retirement planning is a long-term game. Understand our emotional responses in gaming to make better decisions and have a more balanced and happy experience, just like we plan for retirement.

Emotional responses plays a big role in the way people react after a win. For instance, when people are handed out a gift, each, some would jump up in joy while some would only say thank you and walk away. That doesn't mean the later isn't happy for receiving the gift, he only doesn't know how to jump and shout after receiving a gift. Same is applies to gambling, few people wouldn't mind staying calm after winning and other could make it known to everyone that they've won huge amount of money in gambling. The duration such joy lasts depends on how long the money lasted on the winner's hand. Once the money has been exhausted the joy diminishes. Only those who walks away with the money can have a long lasting joy after winning. Gamblers who continued to wager their wins can as well go home with a frowned face and worry about why they had lost so much money in one day.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 07, 2024, 09:44:34 AM
If a gambler can expect to win and maintain a responsible gambling, then he wouldn't have any problem in his gambling journey. The aim of most gamblers is to have a jackpot someday. That's why they'll continue gambling even if they always lose. That goal doesn't go off easily, it keep recurring in the gambler's brain and he wouldn't stop if he wins. Hence, gambling is an activity for gamblers, which can't be forgotten easily. Our aim of gambling differs and we can't say for sure, but I'd say that when losing lots of money while gambling, I wouldn't gamble anymore because it seems uncertain what could be the next outcome. Contrarily, others see it as an opportunity to stake more money, and earn lots of money if a win result eventually shows up. Sometimes it'll work while in most scenario it wouldn't work out. Such people also need to know about the need to manage their money and stop when it seems unsafe to gamble. Losing continuously is not advisable.
The goal of winning the jackpot is okay as long as he remains in control of himself and doesn't try to chase the win too hard. And if they can gamble responsibly, they will only gamble moderately and wait for the win to arrive. They will not try to risk more money because they know that it could take away their control by indulging their ego to win. But those who have lost their responsibility and self-control will still return to gambling even though they have lost. They don't think about restricting themselves because it's so difficult to achieve win that they also have difficulty maintaining self-control. People's goals in gambling are indeed different, but all gamblers must have self-control that needs to be improved so that gamblers do not gamble excessively. They can still wait for a win while gambling with self-control so they won't become even more eager to win the jackpot prize.

Of course the gambler can win big someday depending on how strong the self control skill he's implementing on gambling is managed. The availability of gambling online is a weak point to gamblers with self control. As we can't be having a gambling site on our gadgets without trying to gamble more. Hence, gamblers need to double the energy of controlling their gambling urge. As it could be easier to stop going to a place we love, but when the place comes to us, it gets harder to resist. That's why the cases of chasing losses and lose of control after winning big appears. You'd notice that if the person was to be gambling in an offline casino at some point he'd want to go home and have a nap. But online, the player wakes up to his gadget next to him. The ability to stop or avoid the need to gamble at the moment of waking up, may not be there. The psychological impact gambling has on players is quite powerful and requires discipline to control it. Some times the big win arrives and the gambler doesn't acknowledge, and he'll wager it all at same time.
1150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 07, 2024, 09:23:28 AM
I've read something like this in the forum, and the Op said he heard it on a radio program. Maybe people are beginning to adapt to this type of idea. It doesn't sound like a better way of dealing with addiction. Because these people actually need to adapt the fact their ward won't be happy hearing about the action they've decided to take on him. What matters is helping him out of gambling not disseminating a report on every gambling location in his neighborhood. That doesn't make any difference, he could be gambling else where in a far distant neighborhood, where nobody knows about his bad gambling habit. Hence, family who have been affected in gambling should learn how to focus on making their child a better citizen to the society. Tackling the problem in a way that'll be embarrassing to him would only worsen the problem of the person and he would look for a means of getting out of the neighborhood, since people will begin to talk him down based on choice his parents took on him.
1151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 06, 2024, 06:47:10 AM
I have no experienced in the offline gambling, but i see both of risky in differently, as like if considering privacy then i think online gambling is safe because here no one can track your identity but in the offline gambling you have to play with among many people’s which i don’t like to personally. If online gambling is very easy to start if you have money so that you get addicted to it but in offline gambling your friends & family will give you good advice to stop it.
If you are living in a country in which gambling is legal then you can expect some level of privacy as no government agency is going to care what you are doing when gambling.

But there are many countries in which gambling is illegal, and some of those countries put an emphasis to try to stop illegal gambling within their territory, and if you happen to gamble at an online casino and you have identified yourself before, it is entirely possible that eventually the police could come knocking on your door.

Gambling in an online casino in a country where gambling is restricted can be weary and disturbing if the gambler is not prepared enough to conceal his online identity; playing with proxies or VPN. While in same scenario if he uses offline casino, the law enforcement agencies can definitely visit the casino at any moment to take everyone who they find there. The only thing about it is that the privacy is more better than online casino if everything is moving fine and safe. Because nobody in the offline casino is expected to know where we reside or the name we bear. Unlike online casinos where the KYC policy is a must and the database is saved online. However, in the case of addiction the online casino players are more vulnerable to addiction, due to the consistency and availability of online casino. It's always with us and we don't spend extra bills to gamble. All it takes is login, deposit and gamble. The simplicity only makes addiction easier for an online gambler to get inflicted.
1152  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: January 06, 2024, 06:35:28 AM
I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling. He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling. He made reference to some rich people, who don't gamble because they have sufficient money to even gift to charity but that those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.
I don't really think so. The rich plays gamble more often than even the poor, but because theu don't see them in offline casino where they can be assembling with the street boys, it now looks like they don play gamble like the poor. What they do is to open online account where they play games with huge amount of money with lesser odd compeard to the poor. And they often have more  winning than the poor because the chances of there wining is high.

Another thing you should know is that making money knows no boundaries. No one is too rich to say h/she will not continue hustling. What the poor does is what the rich also do. the rich is Playing gambling to win bigger and enlarge his wealth, while the poor is playing to be rich. so I see no difference between the rich and the poor and there gambling strategy.

Your last paragraph is accurate, the difference between the rich and poor is money, yet it doesn't change the human behavior in them; greed. Everyone get interested whenever money is discussed, including the filthy rich. So, saying that the rich don't gamble is not accurate, anybody can be a gambler. Like you mentioned in the first paragraph of yours, that the rich may not be seen in offline casinos, but it doesn't mean they don't participate in gambling. They also have a casino for VIP where they spend time and have fun with other like minds. Hence, not everyone gamble due to insufficient amount of money. It's a choice to gamble, and gamblers have personal reasons why they've chosen to participate in gambling. The person in Op's narrative is not fully aware of how gambling works, that's why he's arguing that the rich don't gamble because they've already got lots of money.
1153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why gambling beginners must not joke with casino announcement on: January 06, 2024, 06:26:57 AM
It is very natural for new sites to emerge in the world of casino gambling. Not all sites are good and not all are bad. But what we need to do as newbies is to develop enough awareness. Many of us join new gambling sites only because of more bonus but do not check if the site is legit or not. A gambler can't know all these things first  but there are some things that we can observe if we are able to guess a bit whether the site is legit or not. If a new site has withdrawal complications, has any withdrawal restrictions, and if the site is slow and runs a small number of games, those sites must be suspicious of whether the site is legit or not. Of course a gambler should be aware of all those things. In excess of greed one should not do anything by which they loss all their assets.
It is important to check all the announcements of the site promoted on this forum, especially check how the withdrawal and deposit process is after that see how the site works faster or slower than other gambling sites, the point is that getting more positive feedback is very important, don't be too hasty in Choosing the casino site you want to play on, everything must be carefully considered so as not to lose assets.

I may be a tester on new sites but usually I look at their minimum withdrawal amount and don't focus too much on their bonuses, it is true that every new site will give a welcome bonus to all new users but it is worth noting that there are terms and conditions that need to be read in order Don't make mistakes before playing, the average gambler doesn't want to read too much into it. Whether it is valid or not requires time to research it more deeply.  Wink

Not all crypto casino have an ANN in this forum, and it doesn't mean the casino is bad. What is relevant is doing a due research on the casino, then ask question in this forum if anyone has ever used such a casino. Some casino that opened an Ann in this forum already showed that opening an ANN doesn't guarantee being trustworthy, by deceiving some members and taking away their money. Hence, it's worth the time and money for a gambler to look out for the news on a casino before depositing money on the platform. Gamblers who get carried away by the bonuses these casinos promise, are not experienced and only gamble for greed. They don't wager their own money first, but forget that after playing with the bonuses they'll easily get moved to spend their own money, which then can be used in swindling them away. Asking questions online is a nice activity for gamblers, they'll need to have good research skill not to be deceived.
1154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A tip for staying resposible while gambling. on: January 06, 2024, 06:11:29 AM
from this discussion the conclusion is that to gamble responsibly you must have a strong desire, discipline, commitment and consistency, isn't that right?
sometimes we ourselves find it too complicated to interpret the word gambling responsibly and sometimes we also have difficulty doing this, even though everything is very easy, it's just that sometimes we think too much about very complicated things.

like whatever we talk about here, it's all about tips for gambling responsibly and just imagine we start from the simplest way of planning a budget and stop after losing or after winning and this is very easy for us to do but what's difficult is only our own minds think gambling responsibly is a very difficult endeavor to undertake.
Yes, every gambler must own everything you mentioned so they will not fall into gambling. Maybe we don't need to interpret it too complicatedly and just need to understand that gambling requires clear restrictions so that we don't gamble excessively. We must be able to use it as a free time activity and immediately stop gambling when we start gambling for too long. By practicing everything, we can use gambling as it is and will not try to chase the win because it will not be easy to get.

If everything can be done responsibly, we can enjoy gambling as entertainment and fill our free time. We will not consider how to recover from previous losses or win bigger wins. Everything will only be done with self-control and awareness that enjoying gambling is the most important thing and not chasing the end result. Some people may want to win or recover from their losses, but as long as they realize it won't be easy, they won't be eager to get it.

Staying responsible while gambling is crucial in any gambler's life, it's not an easy task, but the strategies which elevates responsible gambling should be practiced by gamblers. As the outcome of being compulsive in gambling, is demeaning in the life of gamblers. It's a personal choice though, but at some point, gamblers don't have a choice. They forget about all the strategies they've learnt before participating in gambling. It could be as a result of not being attentive to the amount of money that has been wagered while gambling, then after the day is over, the gambler begin to worry about how he'd lost all the money he had for other things. Gamblers need to stay attentive and not lose out control. Losing money in gambling is as a result of lost of control. The discipline to remember our gambling strategies is crucial. However, if a gambler is not prepared to remember the advise and strategies shared by other members, they can craft theirs, which would be easier to recur like Op did.
1155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: January 06, 2024, 05:58:05 AM
That is one way to prevent gambling addiction which is to distract yourself with something much better like exercising. We know that people use gambling as an excuse sometimes a distraction to themselves where they can entertain themselves and forget all their problems, which can worsen their situation by just simply losing more money in the house. Plus sometimes they are not that aware of that addiction cause it's already been part of their lifestyles, unless someone points out that gambling is really bad if overdone. They wouldn't quit for just a day for sure, but they would think about it, and would take time for them to realize that gambling won't do anything good for them. I gambling as well, but I don't think that I can consider myself addicted as I don't think it about all the time maybe rarely when I have the time. It might be the reason of too busy in the world.
Physical exercise is an excellent type of activity if the player does not know what to do other than play. Sometimes it even happens that thanks to a spontaneous decision to play sports, it can switch our brain and we will stop gambling altogether and devote ourselves to a new and useful hobby. Of course, I understand that this will be very rare, but perhaps it will save several destroyed families. I noticed that professional players often play sports or were athletes in the past, probably this helps them achieve results and they draw some analogies to achieve their goals. They have a sense of purpose, but apparently they also have some other qualities that allow them to be more successful than others.

Minimizing the amount of money the gambler is entitled to, can help in curing the gambler. Because if he's mainly redirecting his actions to other activities, then he needs not to gamble one bit. Although, the person would begin to forget his gambling habit gradually while participating in real games like sport, yet his urge to gamble doesn't leave him entirely. If he has money left on him, he'd definitely going to gamble, because his brain still get enticed whenever the gambling thought arrives. So, restricting his cash flow during the healing period, can be effective. A loved one can be handling the money, and buy whatever he, the addict, wants. The goal is to make sure whenever gambling thoughts crosses his minds, he wouldn't game. I noticed that giving any activity that we engage in a break can help us have a rethink of the habit and reevaluate whether we are getting too attached to it or not. An addict, who doesn't gamble for weeks can easily think otherwise of his previous lifestyles.
1156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most logical and profitable game on: January 06, 2024, 05:39:43 AM
I don't think any game is the most profitable in gambling. Even the dice games that looks easier to predict a side, is hard to win. Playing games like black roulette staking on the high possibility sides red and black looks promising in yielding money, yet winning isn't guaranteed. Those who participate in sport games don't have a better winning possibility, even if they gamble on fewer games. Hence, as a sport gambler whatever outcome we get is dependent on the strategies we implement. Games like slot depends on the house edge, so playing according to what the house has for the gambler is crucial. The strategies for minimizing our expenses is worth it, as the only thing gamblers can control. No need to think of anything else like a trick that yields gamblers some win. It doesn't exist in gambling. However, we could be getting a small win while gambling, that doesn't mean we'll wouldn't win big. It's just a way of staying on the safe lane while gambling.
1157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 06, 2024, 05:20:37 AM
Does this hope of a gambler to win in gambling ever die ? No matter, how much one loses in gambling, still the hope of winning is there ?
That i really strange, isn't ?

I tried to find out the reason for this gambler's behavior and thought that maybe the gamblers see other people's big wins and are inspired by them. Perhaps the gamblers thought since other gamblers can win in gambling, why can't they. They are of the view that if they keep on trying, one day they will have success in gambling and they may hit a jackpot and change their lives altogether.

However, i must insist that gamblers should not be too much optimistic and also they should keep track of their losses and make sure that they do not invest too much money, that they feel depressed about losing that amount of money. There is no harm in keeping on trying but still one should be responsible and not be too much relaxed.
A gambler's hope of winning will never die, and this hope will be even greater if they can win a small amount of money. They will continue to gamble and think that they are getting closer to their big win and should not stop before they get their big win. But that will not allow them to get a big win, but instead will get a loss.

We will not know the reasons for the gambler's behavior because there are many reasons they will say, especially if they often see big wins made by other people. This inspires them, so it will make them gamble more often than usual because they still have those hopes in their minds. They still think that one day they will be successful from gambling but they don't think about what if it turns out they only lose and end up with a serious gambling addiction.

There must be awareness among gamblers to use only what is necessary so that they lose more money than they can afford. This is to prevent feelings of guilt because you have not been able to win the gambling game. And it's true, there's no harm in playing gambling responsibly and relaxedly so that we can keep ourselves within the limits of gambling. We also shouldn't force ourselves to gamble, especially if we have already won, regardless of the winning amount.

If a gambler can expect to win and maintain a responsible gambling, then he wouldn't have any problem in his gambling journey. The aim of most gamblers is to have a jackpot someday. That's why they'll continue gambling even if they always lose. That goal doesn't go off easily, it keep recurring in the gambler's brain and he wouldn't stop if he wins. Hence, gambling is an activity for gamblers, which can't be forgotten easily. Our aim of gambling differs and we can't say for sure, but I'd say that when losing lots of money while gambling, I wouldn't gamble anymore because it seems uncertain what could be the next outcome. Contrarily, others see it as an opportunity to stake more money, and earn lots of money if a win result eventually shows up. Sometimes it'll work while in most scenario it wouldn't work out. Such people also need to know about the need to manage their money and stop when it seems unsafe to gamble. Losing continuously is not advisable.

Gambling is more of an activity that lives with us for long period and if we continue doing it at old age, that wouldn't sound weird. The only difference in the world today is that young gamblers only worry about themselves being the type of people eligible to gamble. It's made mainly for everyone in the world, except the younger people. Hence, the appropriate age to stop gambling can't be determined, provided the gambler is still strong health wise. Elderly people wants to enjoy their old age, and shouldn't be questioned about the things they do, wonder why nobody asks them questions regarding their drinking habit. Which is almost similar to the gambling habit. People have activities or duties that interests them, and those practice isn't meant to be removed from their life, else they'll not be happy. I recommend aged people to stay active and participate in lots of activities as possible. Because a boring life shouldn't be a part of anybody's life. The brain needs to stay working and active.

What gamblers feel about gambling is not expected to be the same, due to the need that led a person to participate in gambling. It's not to be a general problem, like Op thought. The goal of gamblers in some age brackets would be for money, while others thinks it's fun, and the rest only play to master strategies that can be implemented in life. Although those who play for money have a big PR and are populous. Casinos also use their PR to create more awareness about the business and yield more customers. If a gambler is for the fun, he'll get it and enjoy his money while gambling. Anxiety only erupts when the gambler is after money and doesn't enjoy his money. Because it's as if he's paying to earn more money or investing his money for more profits. They see gambling as a business and end up feeling that those who enjoy gambling for fun are not or lying about it. I'd conclude that it's just a misunderstanding.
Gamblers don't feel the same when they gamble, and that's because they use different gambling games, so they get different experiences. But when they lose, it is the same as losing money at the gambling table, and even though they try to recover their losses, it will not be easy for them, and they can experience even bigger losses. Those who really aim to make money from the moment they start gambling will probably experience more losses than other gamblers because gambling is not a place to make money but just to have fun. Gamblers should be able to choose to have fun rather than win because there is uncertainty about when they can get that win. It is also true that those of us who have lost at gambling are lying if we have enjoyed gambling, and that is what is experienced by those who try to chase their winnings. But those who really aim to have fun from gambling just feel the pleasure and don't think much about the losses they experience because that is the risk of gambling.

Losing money is never funny, depending on what we spent the money on, and how important it'll be to the growth of the person economically. That's the main reason people are told to learn money management through gambling. Because we all have lots of games to participate in gambling. Hence the way we think shouldn't be considered similar, as the motive ain't the same. But, a gambler who possess some money management skill, he'd be able to utilize it while gambling, and on the real life business. Not everybody will ever get the fun via gambling. Some gamblers who understands the purpose of gambling. Don't need to rush to stake games in gambling. Monitoring every move we make in gambling, helps us to learn, while others are bothered about their lost money. The authority has been handed to the player, to decide how he wants to gamble. And nobody should complain about, how he's feeling, when the game get void. Happy or sad.

It's not magical, it's psychological.
This is the key. They know they shouldn't keep betting, but a kind of compulsion drives them to do so. As for what the OP asks where they get the money to keep doing it, there are many ways, savings, quick loans, credit cards, selling things. All to keep fueling their addiction. In this they are not much different from a drug addict, the most notable difference being that they do not consume a substance, it is the brain that secretes it.
To be honest, I believe gambling addiction is far more dangerous than drug addiction. A drug addict can be healed with medicine and proper care, they can take anti-drug supplements and prevent the urge through that, but you can barely find an anti-gambling thing when you are completely addicted to it. It might not be visible physically when you get addicted to gambling unlike drug addicts, but it keeps eating you from the inside, starting from your brain and mind.

This is why gambling should be controlled at the instant when a person feels that they are getting addicted to it and if they don't stop, they will ruin everything in their lives. What's unfortunate is that most gamblers don't realize where they are headed when they first start gambling which is why they don't think of controlling.

Gambling control is required the very moment a person wants to venture into the niche, as it could be too late when he begins to feel he's getting addicted. The way addiction works, it's not easily noted by the gambler. He'd think whatever is his actions are still on a good behavior. Nobody wants to end up addicted to gambling, but unknowingly, gamblers get addicted because of how unnoticeable its symptoms appears in the life of the gambler. Instead of a newbie to gamble without prior knowledge on the necessity of gambling, he should look out for other daily activities to spend his time. Addiction doesn't care about who is new to the game or not. That's why we all have to be prepared at all times not to fail in keeping up with our strategies and promise to ourselves, not to spend more than we can lose. Gambling addiction also has no cross addiction possibility. In terms of distracting the addicted person to focus on something else other than gambling, the therapist need to work hard in engaging the addicted person to try out new assignments with his time.
