I see this as no symptom of gambling addiction, you are only excited with gambling. That is whenever you are about gambling, you'll feel happy and excited. Why this joy is transient should be questioned. Feeling that vanishing syndrome after gambling and losing money. Does it mean you're not comfortable losing the money or do you wager a huge amount enough to remove the excitement in you? Gambling feels good to me when I'm winning poker games with a flush. Gambling with people feels exciting, another game is a slot, and it gets me excited. Because I have a special interest in roulette games. The game offers multiple options and sometimes I could predict correctly the number where the ball stops. It yields lots of profits but is rare.

These factors I enjoy without being concerned about the funds. Due to how sparingly I wager my money. My goal is to enjoy the game. However, sometimes, when I go against my instincts or in some self-arguments with myself on a specific error, I get a bit concerned about the lost opportunity of winning big. Gambling is risky, and confusing at some point. During this level of feelings, I'd prefer to stop playing and take a rest. Whenever the game isn't fun to me anymore, I don't play for gambling's sake or to make money. Once my brain power begins to diminish and I'm no longer able to think thoroughly about a decision, I'd take a rest. Because playing ahead could cause more losses.

Whatever we do publicly or privately has its advantages and disadvantages. Gambling is a game that has been privatized due to the recent integration of online casinos. So, people won't know if we gamble unless we open up to them. And nobody goes out on the street screaming that he's a gambler. As you said, Iroh, players only tell people they think should know, close friends or family. Sometimes the winning could be so outrageous that the player will unknowingly tell many people, out of joy, that he won big in gambling. There are cases like this where people wouldn't mind unveiling their gambling attitude. It has some advantages, especially in times of difficulty or problem gambling.

Those who kept their gambling habit a secret from everyone would have a hard time telling people when they've got an underlying problem. Talking to people as suggested is fine, as they'll serve as a watchdog on our behavioral change. This doesn't mean the whole society should know about this, we all deserve some privacy. Keeping such thing as gambling a secret, makes it sound like gambling is banned in the country. In a society where gambling is accepted, gambling platforms are built in all corners of the street. What is there to hide or keep a secret? It wouldn't hurt the people around us if we told them about the attitude. I don't see anything wrong with sharing the information. It shouldn't be a secret.

These gamblers are comfortable with chasing losses, it's a psychological factor that's not crucial in positively helping a gambler's journey. Such players don't research for fresh ideas that'll prevent the multiple losses caused by chasing losses. They think the strategy is the only way out of gambling. That's why the players tend to stick to the idea and not stop, despite getting lots of losses. I don't blame these players, due to their inability to make changes by themselves. They'll only be blamed for not trying to read up or try new means of gambling and quit compulsive gambling behavior. Well, nobody is bigger than what he doesn't know. I think such players are not equipped with gamblers who would show them the right gambling attitude.

Most of them are carried away by similar players, with mutual behaviors. At the early stage of gambling, these players make this decision willingly. But along the line, it begins to occur involuntarily. Many of them never realize this anymore, it's now their gambling culture. To play away all their funds whenever they gamble. The wins aren't enough, because a lot has been lost. Hence the tradition continues that way for a long time till the person can't get over it. They lack control and because of this, the player wouldn't have the energy to stop this or completely get satisfied from gambling in this manner.

First, he'll be replaced by a competent employee, second, the funds will be deducted from his salary. I think it's an excellent method to deal with this betrayal. The problem will be taken seriously because it's in the gambling niche. An employee in a casino setting isn't meant to be a compulsive gambler. They prefer employees who don't look into gambling. That's why most casino attendants can't answer some gambling questions. Responding to this question, it'll be difficult for an employee to access the fault where casino funds are being stored. Except he plotted this with some criminals. Speaking of online casinos, I think the private key is held by the boss or owner of the casino. And the withdrawal method is quite automated with some codes, I guess. As it doesn't look manually done. Hence accessing the funds isn't simple for any employee. I understand that every organization owns a treasurer, but they need to have a joint signature with the casino owner. No amount will be moved without the approval of the casino. Figuring a way as an employee to go against this and stealing the money for gambling purposes will be a punishable offense.

Patience is a virtue they say, but when applied wrongly could destroy a person's aim. Knowing when to take action while patient is a smart move. Patience works with timing and vigilance. Gamblers who implement patience as a strategy should look out for what is in there for them to win. Time is precious and shouldn't be wasted waiting, without a substantial reward available to gain. While the patience context in gambling is confusing and can be applied in unique contexts to mean different things, we all need to realize the importance of patiently planning our strategies.

However, saying, Wakate, that patience guarantees a positive result for gamblers who utilize it, has multiple meanings. By positive results are you referring to winning money or escaping addiction? The first mentioned can be hard to achieve because the gambler could wait forever without getting what they wanted. The fact we need something doesn't mean we'll get it. Hence, using patience for such things isn't worth it because after playing patiently and the big win doesn't show up, that'll be a wasted effort. While the second mentioned is achievable, the player also needs to focus on achieving the goal. Hence, patience without a smart strategy could be wasted work in gambling.

Gamblers forget their purpose once their mistake consistently reoccur. The problems appear oftentimes in different dimensions. A player may lose higher amounts than he lost the last time he encountered a loss. Hence, the pain will be fresh, and the player will feel angered again. I understand that players are meant to get used to it, but nobody feels a fresh pain and holds his tongue. Gamblers undergo numerous unique problems ranging from money, emotions, stress, etc. Yet, for some, the game is fun, and for others a huge problem. Moving ahead, I'd say that how they feel is a self-determination. A gambler who is focused on enjoying his game, won't get sad over a loss.

His concern would be other things like building and maintaining his strategies. While others will pass through hassles and tough experiences, tending to achieve all their monetary fantasies. So, to remove the Op's doubt the players behave according to their gambling perspectives. Putting a smile on our faces over a loss is a personal decision. They are players who will never laugh over a loss. It all depends on how much is lost in the gambling process. Random players with no strategy experience regular gambling losses and it hurts. Due to their designated expectations. Those who don't have a single expectation welcome any outcome they receive. Provided that the lost money isn't huge enough to get them sad.

I get challenged to ponder on the force that drives players to think gambling is the only means of earning money. I would have concluded the rigorous thought if working-class gamblers didn't behave similarly to the unemployed players. Why would a player who makes money prefer to risk his business for gambling? Delving deeper into the mental impact of gambling on players, it looks quite vast. Players getting attacked emotionally in unique forms. They have never been a similar occurrence; most addicted players tell unique fables about their experiences. Leaving me with an inconclusive conclusion of what factor is in control of these mental problems.

Tracing down to the emotional encounters of the gambler, growing up could help as a factor. Were they, the addict, not appreciative of getting a new game console? Could it be domestic violence? multiple questions came by but as I said it's inconclusive. Because a player who is to rest after work sacrifices the moment to gamble. Then goes back to work unprepared, that's a bad experience. If they're tempted by the money, aren't they earning some funds? Most players who chase big profit, have never won more than they earn in their businesses. It's a tough situation to figure out why gambling is this way, more like drug addiction. But not all are buried in the addiction to misbehave in their workplace or thinking of earning money only via gambling. It seems gamblers exhibit this attitude a lot.

At some point, the gambler stops thinking and only acts. If they had the privilege of thought, the player would have stopped playing long ago. I don't think anybody is happily chasing losses in gambling. That's out of the gambling context. Gamblers, even freshers never had in mind to behave this way. Hardly were they told of such problems. Most of the gamblers only had the generalized knowledge of win or loss. Rarely were they prepared to face the dangers of being a honey badger in gambling. Chasing a goal related to money in gambling is wrong. And it's worse not to be concerned about the challenges that come back disturbing us after chasing those lost funds. These unexpected mistakes cornered them without notice.

The player at first thinks all is cool, he could stop anytime. Yet as time creeps by he'd find it impossible to break free. Their thoughts get deceived to accept they need to strike harder to break through the problem.

But the more they wager the harder the borders get harder. Hence, these players at some level get tired of doing this and will sincerely seek help. The journey is so weary that nobody will ever want to go back into addiction. The problem with naive players is that they get nervous about this, which is meant not to be happening. We all want to win and feel nervous over a penalty shoot-out, but not to the extent of forgetting ourselves. Not realizing when the fear is hurting us, is wrong. Self-conscious players get to examine themselves and figure out if some issues, internally, bother them. Gambling is limited because of the untold personal challenges players need to solve. Everyone must gamble with care not to become a victim.

When gambling and I feel a knot in the pit of my stomach, the session forcefully will get to an end. I wouldn't prefer gambling in such a mood, so whenever such feelings erupt, stopping the session is my only option. Being nervous of what outcome we'll get in gambling is happening as a result of anxiety. An example showing the player has been dealing with such problems for a long period. Hence, the moment he sits in front of any gambling machine, his impulses begin to shoot out fear and nervousness. The player is supposed to stop gambling during the session and reduce the period he spends gambling. This can relax his nervous system and stop further agitations. Furthermore, the player needs someone to help explain to him the need to enjoy gambling.

Wagering money out of fear puts anger on the player if he continuously loses. Sometimes you'd see a player looking daggers at his computer screen. They leave the casino with a frown face. Such experiences show the gambler didn't enjoy his gambling session. He'll tend to come right back to try his luck. I noticed, not sure how correct this is, that people try again earlier if they don't enjoy or get satisfied after gambling, compared to a gambler who enjoyed his time at the casino. Those who enjoy gambling can easily go for a few month's break, while those who don't, find it hard to take a day off from gambling. They'll work strides ahead to beat the system but get disappointed. The casino is ahead of the gamblers. Players only have the choice to stay happy, for the safety of their mental health.

Excessive gambling plugs out happiness from the gambler, he then plays with anxiety and anger. Players need to have a clear heart while gambling. Possessing or harnessing a clouded mind during a gambling session is wrong. It puts the gambler on the run for his money. Making the right choices becomes a hassle. Hence, gamblers shouldn't pick up irresponsible gambling as an option. Staying cautious of the way we gamble is crucial. Minding the fun business creates excitement for the gambler. He'll never suffer any form of mental stress. There are enormous benefits to staying positive or responsible as a gambler. It opens up the thinking horizons of the player to make effective choices in real-life events.

Gambling sharpens the brain to work fast in decision-making, critical thinking, and time and money management. However, irresponsible gamblers resist seeing the brighter opportunities gambling could offer when these qualities are applied in their place of work. Compulsive players focus on making money and destroying their happiness. Hence, with an untidied mind, such a gambler won't see the benefits of gambling. Staying responsible puts the player in a position where he sees his future in gambling, and how technically smart he will get in life while gambling responsibly. Sincerely, staying responsible isn't simple. Challenges erupt in the life of all gamblers. When not squarely tackled it could lead the player to get compulsive. Therefore, the blame on the compulsive player should be reduced. They'll get better after walking the weary miles of gambling addiction.

Gamblers own unique upbringings, and not every one of us acknowledges the respect responsible gambling adds to our family. Those players who care less about their families and focus on gambling only add disrespect to their homes. Nobody talks about something else in that home, instead, it's all about blame and troubles. A compulsive gambler is concerned with winning big, while gambling. He'd neglect the needs of his children and let them behave the way they wanted, without screening their actions. Such people are not qualified to be called good fathers. Their behavior affects society as a whole, not partly.

Because his sad and emotionally bedraggled kids will go about exhibiting strange attitudes amongst their peers. Instigating those behaviors on some innocent kids which circulates or extends to a wider variety of children in that environment or society. Hence, such gamblers should imagine a wider view of their irresponsibility in their homes and how it affects their environment. It causes extra pain to society and not just his family. The people around such a player need to create some awareness, at least to help the gambler adjust his lifestyle. A married man with kids, shouldn't pay his precious kids with self-inflicted hardship. Cutting down on the behavior is quite better than pushing endlessly on that attitude.

Yeah, experts encourage addicts to chin up and face the problem, by creating a bond with the addict. Interpersonal relationship is the engine of every form of therapy, expert or not. Sometimes during therapy, experts are incapable of developing this friendship with addicts. The therapist may have used uncomfortable responses in his conversation with the addict. It's hard to detect an effective response that'll tickle pink the addict on hearing it. The transient pleasure, if achieved, can improve the addict's interest in the therapist. Thereby opening a reason within him, why he shouldn't skip therapy sessions. No therapist is perfect or expert enough to bring people to therapy, with no interpersonal relationship available. Addicts often miss their session, because they don't enjoy answering multiple boring questions asked by the therapist.

However, addiction experts, as you mention, are great due to experience dealing with other addicts. But people rarely get fond of one another meeting for the first time. The first day in therapy isn't assured for the therapist, he foresees two things, the client may return or not after leaving his office. This self-thought is used to know if they've done a great job or failed during the first session with a fresh client. So, getting an addict to continually visit his therapist, isn't the task of the therapist, but that of the addict's relation or family. Let's assume the family can afford to pay the expert, the addict needs someone to convince him to go for therapy, daily. Until he builds a strong bond with the therapist. Visiting therapy, for the addict, will then be like seeing a friend. That's a serious improvement in his healing process. Hence, if the expert isn't capable of getting hold of the addict's attention on the first day, the addict's family or loved one should assist in talking to the addict regarding why he should frequently go for therapy.

Gambling has no hidden truth of its outcome. Players beforehand are well aware of the win and loss potentials of gambling. With the losses appearing more in casinos. With no designated guarantee of who wins or not. But players tend to forget these factors and focus on winning like it's the only option. There are multiple factors to look into as a gambler, which include safeguarding our mental health, managing the bankroll against disastrous losses, sticking to the limits, etc. All these when done right, can be considered a win. Money isn't generated in casinos, instead it's spent. No importance in defending the fabled financial recklessness of gamblers, but few players are different. They are responsible gamblers who keep an eye on their mistakes and endeavor never to repeat them. Gamblers who don't perceive gambling as entertainment make up for the bad reputational stories told to people regarding gamblers. Their ill gambling habit has made gambling a downward course in society. Yet it won't change the narrative that gambling can be managed. With lesser troubles. However, not everyone is equipped with such information, skill, or knowledge. Players need to earn it.

Seriously speaking, I don't see why gamblers who are familiar with viewing premier league once or twice per week, would pick clubs they don't know in Italian leagues. Your strategy is fine, gambling on teams you are sure will win more than losing in the premier league. However, greed has influenced gamblers, especially low rollers, to blindly gamble for an endless stream of wealth. One aim which like the Red Sea will be hard to cross or achieve. Building up analytical knowledge on a team is a gratifying exercise as a gambler. The losses will be lesser for the gambler. An advantage to smoothly enjoy the gambling process, and no snowing under with work, searching for teams, and analysis. The teams you listed above can surprisingly perform better than most teams in the premier league. And fully deserve to be staked money upon.

Unfortunately, they don't play matches on the same days. Hence, naive low rollers, wouldn't care about a strategy that insists on picking four games or below. Instead, due to the wealth they foresee, the player will pick up more unknown teams to boost his results on the gambling slips. Such behaviors only attract losses rather than wins, unlike gambling on well-known teams. As you said, the teams we watch their matches are better off, compared to strange football teams from unfamiliar leagues. What is the essence of wagering money on a team, one wouldn't watch play. That's a blank idea of gambling. Money fuels such ideas, but painfully the gambler loses. Yet he'll repeat similar mistakes next weekend. Sure, wagering low amounts on a few matches, when we win, attracts lesser profits, but at least there was a win. And it feels better than losing.

Addiction can be stopped, but hardly will an addict quit gambling. Addicts are informed to stop, not quit because it's impossible or not wrong to gamble. We only try to remind the addicts that they're going quite too fast into destroying their emotions. When we argue this with the addict, he develops a countervailing reaction. He could blankly stare at us for uttering such words. The addict is emotionally detached from whatever is happening around him. Hence, his attitude is centered on what he believes in gambling. Nothing else could get him out of such thoughts.

Gamblers who are into such problems, lose old friends and hardly will see a fresh one. If one is opportune to have help around him, sooner he'd be fine. And have a change of mind. Although we all need to be smart on this and act professionally. It's a mind game, and they must be a winner. Going to show the addict your plans towards him are a threat to him. He'll get prepared waiting for any moment you tend to reach out to them.

He'll also prepare his answers to whatever questions he presumes you'd ask him that day. The conversation can't end in peace. That wasn't a conversation, anyway. It's a mental tug-of-war. Relieving this stress helps reduce the problems of the addict. He needs to focus on whatever he's doing. We can only be of help when we claim to be or act like him. Picking up the best possible means of being of help to him, works faster. The relationship we build with the addict while on his side, makes him hear from us.

Isolation is bad emotionally for any human, addicted or not. Humans are meant to network and communicate with people around them. Naturally having conversations not relating to gambling with an addict, helps sharpen his thought for a minute or two. Continuously doing it can change his brain entirely to that perspective, which you seized the opportunity to embed in his thoughts. The goal isn't to make him quit but to stop him from compulsive gambling.

Addiction for a married man is worse compared to a single man. Family is the advantage for a married gambler, he'd easily have helpers. But the emotional harm he entrusts on his kids and wife made a single man better off. Especially when he got love from a good therapist. The problem gambler above is undergoing serious pains, I guess he'd be aggressive to anybody that dares talk him down on his gambling attitude. His family will share his pains, and it's early for the young offspring. Addiction is a chronic sickness; the pain stays for a longer period. Hence, the kids will grow up undergoing ill-treatment from an addicted father.

That's actually a rough ride as a fresher in this big blue marble. His kid's future will emotionally be affected, the wrong way. He, the child, can be a gambler or a full-time hater of gambling. While it's wrong to get addicted, one shouldn't grow up to hate a specific exercise. His life won't be complete. Life is only enjoyed when we acknowledge all aspects of living. In a nutshell, gamblers should teach their kids, and envision what the child's future would be if they allow addiction to destroy their childhood. Mood swings have made addicts yell at kids, on slight matters that are not yelling. The child starts to behave strangely.

Time is most effective when it's fixed with an aim. Gamblers, in large numbers, barely set their aims straight, and lots more are aimless. When targeting with no aim, a stone hits the wrong target. And could hurt someone, could hit on a car or pedestrian. Gamblers should focus on the purpose. The fantasies enforcing their wrong habits can prepare their life for the worse. Most of the gamblers who want a jackpot are not ready to handle such a huge amount of money. Gamblers should develop self-examination each day. Asking questions like, today if I'm handed out this jackpot, what next? This helps a player to realize his level of thinking as a jackpot winner.

What does he purchase and what place he'd go to with money, is it actually what he wants? It, also, provides the need to understand our aims and motives as gamblers. Are we just in a casino to receive a paycheck to get luxury lifestyles? After getting those fantasies, what next? The vision isn't there, he won't see what is next. Because they're never in need of this, as no plan is available on ways to utilize the money. Hence, the player will revolve around living a luxury lifestyle, till his funds are exhausted. It feels depressing to get broke after living a luxurious life. The body will imagine it as a deceit, as it thought, they've gotten to such a level. Once a player isn't living the life he once got with the jackpot, his life will look confusing. 

Unfortunately, most gamblers are entertained with the funds. If they wish to be happy again, they'll go ahead to chase fun. Once they win the excitement gets so loud that the gambler won't mind his next moves or prediction. Gamblers out of the sudden fun, want more, they'll stake without calculating. It's transient fun, the player doesn't enjoy the fun for a longer period. Lack of satisfaction compels these players to try to reach full satisfaction. Yet, that doesn't exist in the gambling niche. Gamblers who expect to be entertained with money, knocked on the wrong door. So, the player desperately wants what he's not capable of achieving. If players were easily given jackpots the gambling industry would be long gone, before we were born. Humans keep trying to achieve the hard-to-get.

Hence, they'll be depositing more money to get the jackpot. Isn't it an investment? What happens when our investment doesn't yield ROI? anger erupts on the person. Unlike responsible gamblers, good investments also yield fun out of their investment, only when they get profits. Responsible players have proved gambling not to be an investment. Due to the unbiased response to win or lose. Players shouldn't pick sides on both factors which makes them happy. The person could experience more sadness if he chose to be tickled by wins alone. Gamblers must pay attention to these two factors and get acquainted with losses.

Gambling should be done with caution, it's not bad to continue gambling when we are losing out, but the game should be limited and get stopped the moment we had set to stop gambling. No gambler that exceeds his gambling time, that'll get back home happy. As he'd lose out all his funds in the process. Hence, while chasing loss, it should be limited. That's till responsible gambling. It's only irresponsible when the gambler doesn't stop at a given time. The limitations could be on time or funds. Players should develop the need to stop playing the moment their designated amount for gambling has been exhausted. But moving ahead to deposit more money to gamble again isn't right. That's a sign of addiction. A gambler should be contented with what he's got, not to get passed it. They'll be no fun losing out all our funds in one session. It's painful and would leave the gambler worried for some days, which is a new stage of anxiety. That's not worth the stress, when we have the control to stop playing earlier when things have not gotten out of hand. However, some gamblers still lack the orientation to follow good and responsible ethics.

Diversity in methods and strategies is what made gambling unique, people have a unique gambling perspective. Your technique is great, but it's not completely fair for everyone to gamble this way. For instance, they are players who would want to stake more and earn big. Taking profits is fine and shows responsible gambling, but why most people don't do this is because of their gambling schedule. Gamblers will still wager back to the casino, hence they prefer leaving the profits on the site, to gamble some other times. Taking profits is like eating money meant for gambling. Though it's a nice idea, but removing all of it, is more stress. When gambling, I'd prefer to save up the profit for my next session. Then spend my normal funds, that's not meant for gambling. I acknowledge the fact you're focused on staying responsible. That shows how careful every gamble should be regarding their money. But while we take any decision in gambling, we need to think it through. Do I have any need to wager again anytime soon, after eating up my profits? If yes, then it doesn't make any difference. Don't know if you get my idea.
