This is the worst thing ever and it denotes something equally bad, when you start lying to cover expenses it means that you are in the addiction phase
An alarm should go off in your head and you should understand that maybe it's better to ask for help and stop while it's possible and there's little harm done.

Well, in that case, I also started 'gambling' much earlier then, we used to play cards amongst friends and there would be this cricket players and wwe wrestler stickers at stake.

Anxiety cannot be fought with gambling because gambling can cause us much more Anxiety than normal and what we will achieve is that we will complicate things more, that is why we must be smarter and do other things, something that does not generate stress, everything that can produce happiness is Welcome, but if you gamble and do not win the desired happiness will increase, it is better at the time of gambling to do it with little money so as not to risk so much, money is important and it is what makes our lives easier.

I think it’s really simple. I think it comes down to laws and economics. Sure there are probably plenty of poor countries where gambling is illegal or I should say legal sorry and that is just another way for governments to collect money. I guess that’s pretty universal however, some nations are more strict with all sorts of different things like here in the United States. We just recently opened up legal gambling. It’s created a massive influx of government taxation And so I don’t see that slowing down and I see other countries adopting the same.

Here this is the most important thing, a simple play can determine our life if necessary , a game if we do it well we can enjoy without any problem, the bad thing is that if we do not control ourselves we can have many bad Experiences , and lose money that is what should be avoided the most , as users we want to entertain ourselves in many ways , the riskiest thing is to do it with money and if emotions run high.

Gambling for me is merely an alternative way to seek enjoyment in this world. Of course, as people grow older, they prioritize other aspects of life over gambling, whether it be family, career, or other activities.
However, one common trait shared by responsible gamblers is that they limit the time they spend on gambling, making it one part of their life but not the priority in living it. 

When I watch and play soccer as a hobby, I naturally set aside time each month for gambling in a few sessions spread out over the week.

I take full responsibility for my own losses, and I see that many others agree with this perspective. Still, I can’t help but wonder why such a question even arises in the first place. After reflecting, I found an intriguing answer within myself because I’ve faced this situation too.

This usually happens with slots and certain house games. For example, I was once playing blackjack with a provider (I won’t mention the name). On live tables, it’s rare to lose five consecutive games. Sure, losing streaks happen, but in my experience, they’re much less frequent. Yet when I played with this provider, I ended up losing seven games in a row. Isn’t that suspicious? It’s exactly the kind of outcome that makes you question things.

Regular players will understand this feeling and the frustration that comes with it.

So I had this bad experience where I played Real Madrid to win, arsenal to win and Juventus to win or draw and so the first game, been arsenal entered and then Real Madrid and Juventus started the same time and so I was following them up and I played the game NGN 5000 to win NGN32000. There was an extent I followed the game up I was angry the way Juventus was playing, once they equalize union giloise will score and it was annoying so at 90 minutes I cash out NGN 400 because I was so angry only for me to check back and saw 4:4 that was the most annoying part and I think if I would have gone to bed I wouldn't have cash out the game. So I think most times the only way to avoid this is by going to bed and forget about it but sometimes you need to stay up to monitor the game.

What do you guys think?

OP, I know that the reason for creating this thread is to enlighten people of a strategy that could help prevent addiction, it's a nice one and am in support of anything that would aid gamblers to prevent addiction, well one of the fastest way to attract addiction is by being a greedy gambler, therefore I believe that if every gambler can avoid being too greedy it would go a long way to aid them from getting addicted. Howeve, knowing when to quit is another good practice since a gambler would see no reason to chase lose when they develop such mindset.
