That's right, this is a responsible method or step in gambling, with this a person will not experience many losses in gambling as long as they do it optimally and remain confident that they can do it. Yes, perhaps in the future there will be obstacles and temptations, but personal awareness of good behavior when gambling will reduce the risk of gambling. Indeed, this is not easy for gamblers, both those who are addicted and those who are new, but for experienced gamblers, this is something they have prepared or even done beforehand, even though the results are not necessarily on target or exactly what they want, but at least they've tried.😁
Yes, only by being responsible can a person prevent losses that are too big and also, by being responsible, can he avoid the temptations that come to him, especially since we know that in gambling, there will be lots of temptations that we will encounter. If we cannot be responsible, we will lose self-control, which will trigger an even bigger impact on gambling. We can experience a gambling addiction that we never imagined before, so that's what we avoid. Both experienced and inexperienced gamblers must be able to be responsible when playing gambling. If we can be responsible, we will become gamblers who are wise in responding to what happens in gambling.

What you call enjoyment in gambling might just be another form of gambling addiction.  I have been in a situation where I feel so incomplete and restless until I gamble. Then I only find happiness in the gambling house irrespective of if I win or lose. With time I realised this was an addiction I had to deal with to reclaim my peace. Many people might be experiencing this yet calling it having fun while gambling.
Maybe other forms of gambling addiction vary depending on how someone interprets it. And when we only find happiness in the gambling house, maybe for us, it is a gambling addiction. But we must be grateful if we can realize that we are addicted to gambling and want to cure our gambling addiction. But when we place sports bets and feel we are getting pleasure from watching the game, maybe it is not another form of gambling addiction because we are watching the game just to know how it is going. We also want to get more information from each team to get more knowledge about each team. This is useful for us because we can make special notes about each team, which will be used as material for our consideration later when those teams compete with other teams.

Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of how many wins and losses I had so I don't know for sure. I think the wins and losses I get are more than the wins, but that's okay because that's gambling. We can win or lose depending on our luck, and we must be able to accept it well. We can still continue gambling next year until we feel bored with gambling, then we can decide to stop gambling. If it is a victory, we should not brag or show it off to others because that will not guarantee that we can get a win like that again next year. We should keep everything to ourselves and not have to remember it because gambling, for us, is entertainment.

The key ingredient is time.

You need time to recover from any addiction, that's how the brain works.

Then you also need to change something, like the way you react to specific things you experience, and the things you do when you experience them.

The brain slowly rewires itself over time.
Yes, we need time to recover from addiction. It will depend on the wishes of each gambler. Some people can be able to finish the healing process from their gambling addiction in a short time and some people are not able to finish it and instead return to gambling again, where they become increasingly addicted to gambling. This really requires encouragement from various parties so that people who are addicted to gambling can try to heal themselves and be free from their gambling addiction. The person needs to reset his brain again so that there is no desire to gamble anymore and he will do various healing sessions to recover from his gambling addiction.
1525  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: December 28, 2023, 07:13:04 AM
It's quite easy to advise the player when he takes your advice and actually stops a little in the game and comes to his senses and judges everything logically.  However, if a person is euphoric from the game, he is passionate and has almost no control over his actions, being completely immersed in the game, then your advice will simply be ignored. 
This is most likely what will happen.  Well, you should keep in mind that people differ quite greatly in character, willpower, and passion for the game.  Apparently, during the game, everyone produces different amounts of adrenaline in their body and, accordingly, human behavior is also very different. 

In short, the function of self-exclusion from the game cannot be implemented for all players. 
Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
That's what happens if we are so happy with the results we get that we often take everything for granted. We will not have self-control because of that excitement, so we will forget what we should do after winning. That's why, to enable the self-exclusion feature, we have to really know what we want to do so that the feature will actually work for us. But if we still want to experience the joy of gambling, the self-exclusion feature will not be useful because we can gamble at other casinos and before gambling, we will also deposit some money. So activating the self-exclusion feature or avoiding gambling is not easy because it requires a desire from within so that we really have the desire to avoid gambling for a while or even forever.

In the beginning of your search is great to go through the lists and discard sites that are simply not going to work for you at all, it is so subjective that you may end up with little options left on the table, particularly if you are looking for a very specific game or a very particular style of interface or promotions. Then going to the forum to check the remaining sites is just the way to go.
That's what we can do after finding the sites we are looking for from many places, including this forum. That's the point for us to filter the list of sites that we find to choose the one that really is the casino site that we want. We should have a small list of casinos but those are the casinos that we really want than to have a large list of casinos but they are unclear casinos. But we still have to be careful to find the casino and we have to try to find the casino and don't just follow other people's advice. Finding the casino can be based on something other than other people's suggestions but we have to look for it ourselves from what we find.

If ever the government will ban gambling, people who want to gamble will eventually find a way to access gambling sites and casinos. They will just be creative in accessing those without the authorities ever finding out about it. People are stubborn especially if they are really that interested and hooked up in betting and playing, they will find ways regardless. It's not as if it will really solve the problem by prohibiting people,  it could only be a band-aid solution while the dependency in addiction haven't been addressed yet.

Indeed, gambling is someone's responsibility and not anyone else's. If they don't want to suffer the consequences, then they must do themselves a favor of not spending too much time and money in it. Addiction doesn't just occur instantly, it is a bad habit built over time. So staying away and choosing yourself  and your sanity will  save you from it. Limiting the engagement by not feeding your thirst to it will prevent you from being addicted. 
With today's easy Internet access, people will easily find casino sites where they can continue gambling if offline casinos where they live are prohibited from operating. By gambling at online casinos, it makes them free to access casino sites anywhere outside their country and no one will know they are still gambling at online casinos. It also won't reduce their time gambling and can actually increase their gambling time because gambling at an online casino means they can gamble wherever they want.

But if someone can have good responsibility in gambling, he will not gamble too often and even though he can gamble at online casinos, he will still limit his gambling activities because he knows that gambling more often will only cause problems for him. They don't want to get into trouble just because they gamble too often so they really control their gambling game. They will also look for other activities that can help them divert their attention from gambling so that they will not become addicted to gambling.
1528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: December 28, 2023, 05:41:23 AM
Some people are too focused on winning so that is always the initial problem for them to forget some of the limits and management that they have made before like you said and it happens usually without realizing it, it is true that it is always undeniable even though we have planned some precautions at the beginning but often we seem to forget it when the session is already running, It's not other than because there are a lot of temptations when we are already in a gambling session that can certainly make us fooled in thinking, such as seeing the winning opportunities that you mentioned which can certainly make someone carried away when in fact it is nothing more than a temptation and the real victory is still difficult to achieve.

Obviously people whose mindset has changed who initially just want entertainment but suddenly all that changes just because they see a very tantalizing chance of winning then of course it is very possible for them to increase the amount of bets because of something that looks tantalizing, in the end it's all just a trick or hallucination that comes out of a hope and lose. Situations that do not match what they want certainly have the potential to make them emotional and after that some out of control actions are likely to occur, chasing defeat to break even is one of the initial actions they will take. That's why it's important to be as assertive as possible when you're already in the session, not to mention that many things that look tempting are nothing more than temptation.
Focusing too much on winning at gambling will only make a person forget the boundaries he has made so that he will not be able to control the use of his money. To win is difficult and we don't know how much money we have to use until we can win, let alone a big win. We should only use enough money to gamble and focus on the game and try to enjoy the game. If we feel that we are getting pleasure from the game, we must immediately stop gambling so as not to lose more money from gambling. That means we have tried to discipline ourselves in playing gambling so that we can still gamble at other times because we are not chasing wins and only enjoy gambling games in our free time.

Many gamblers have actually increased their bets because they see an opportunity to win a larger amount of money. However, this opportunity will not always meet a gambler's expectations because the opportunity may actually turn into a loss. If the gambler doesn't realize it, he can actually continue gambling because he still has hope of winning. This situation will affect their emotions, so they will not be able to remember their self-control and will instead fall deeper into gambling. That is why we must continue to practice self-discipline in gambling because we know that there are many temptations in gambling so we must try to avoid them for our own good.
1529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: December 28, 2023, 05:12:54 AM
There is also a point that we can indeed do a little research if indeed the person who wants to finance is one of our friends, as you said about we can see from the nature and behavior of our friends as long as we are friends and also during that time there will definitely be some situations where he has borrowed your money and whether he can pay on time or not before, so with that it is true that the way you said is quite reasonable and it can be taken into consideration before finally agreeing to finance his gambling.

I think not only cautious but if they have doubts in the agreement with their friend then I think it's better to avoid this deal, after all gambling is very dangerous because the randomness of the final result is always the main difficulty to get a win, in the matter of the amount of money I think this can be negotiated between the two parties, if indeed the one who wants to provide capital has doubts then obviously he will not agree to the large amount requested by his friend to gamble. However, it is better to put only the amount that we can be responsible for, whether you are gambling yourself or paying for someone else, it can be useful to minimize regret at the end of the session if you lose.
But to be honest, it could cause problems for us if the money would be used to finance his gambling. We might be in an unpleasant situation, especially if he loses and spends all his money. Our relationship with him may not be good because of debts that have not been paid by him. Even if he can pay on time, he will probably repeat his desire to ask us to finance his gambling another day because he sees that he can borrow money from us. And it would be like he was using us to finance his gambling and we would also probably feel bad if he didn't because he is one of our friends.

This money problem can cause a rift between us because money problems can change a person's character quickly without them realizing it. We may be able to accept it but the people around us may not be able to accept it because I had an experience where there was a friend who borrowed money and I wanted to lend it to him because I felt he really needed it, but my wife didn't agree if I gave it the amount of money he requested. My wife said that I could lend him half of the total money he asked for because we also needed the money.
1530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 28, 2023, 04:46:43 AM
Curiosity and great desire to win are still factors that cause gambler to keep trying and always risk his money even though he knows what risks he faces and what will happen.
Losing alone will never be able to make gambler stop and try to think well and make various efforts to try to suppress this desire until he is truly able to control himself over his curiosity and ambition to win.
Indeed, when they are filled with curiosity and the desire for achievement to win, gambling activities will increase significantly, making it difficult for them to respond to each gambling activity and become gambling addict.
However, there are also several ways or efforts that can be made namely with mindset, when gambler has a good mindset and only considers other people wins as ordinary luck, then you can be sure that there will be no desire to get the same win.
It just that it seems like this is very difficult to do and most gamblers still think that they can also get the wins that other people get and make them ambitious to apply it.

I have also experienced the same thing but after studying everything well and being able to suppress the desire to win can make me have much better mindset.
I would rather forget about opportunities and play only according to my abilities.
Buying bonus features may still be considered as increasing your chances of winning, but when you really realize it, the thought you have is that it is wrong, buying bonus features is very wasteful.
In the end, you can accept every gambling result and not try to spend more money to increase your chances of winning by purchasing bonus features.
It is natural for a gambler to have curiosity and the desire to win because no gambler wants to experience loss, especially if the loss gets bigger. But if the loss gets bigger, it should be because of his own fault for not being able to control himself well so that he has to experience such a big loss. Every gambler has the right to control himself and prevent experiencing big losses. Unfortunately, many gamblers do not pay attention to this and only follow their ego so that they cannot stop themselves from gambling. Besides that, curiosity and the desire to win can increase when he has experienced so many losses that he really can't stop gambling. And that's where he will become addicted to gambling and if on that day, he spends his money, he will come back another day because he is still curious and wants to avenge his losses. This is something that many gamblers really need to be aware of because gambling more often can trigger their desire to continue gambling and in the end, they will become a gambler who is addicted to gambling without realizing it.

It's not just you who has done it because I think many gamblers do it because they really want to win from gambling but they are not able to control themselves well. If we talk about buying a bonus feature, it will not always give a big win because it can get a big multiplier. But it can give an immediate big loss because in buying that bonus feature, we use money that we should be able to enjoy to play gambling casually. But because we chase the win by buying bonus features, we immediately experience big losses and even lose more money from buying bonus features. We should try to accept all the results we receive from gambling and not try to chase the win because it will definitely be difficult.

To be honest, when I first got to know this type of slot gambling, what I was looking for was the maximum amount of winnings, which of course, as you say, the multiplier is very large, I saw that some of my friends could always get it but somehow I myself was very difficult, usually the maximum winnings were more in the bonus spin feature, so I often immediately bought the bonus feature and without waiting for the bonus to drop for free, to be honest I spent a lot of money but it was very difficult to get what my friends got.

So that situation is a situation where I started to get bored with this type of gambling, big wins really didn't happen for me and after that my interest in gambling began to decrease which finally now I rarely gamble. What you do is better my friend, basically it is better for us to play without expecting anything, because if we put expectations it is the same as we increase the disappointment at the end of the session when it turns out that the result is losing, and also because if we are in a lucky situation then obviously the victory will come by itself.
When I play this slot, I don't even think about winning and just increase and decrease the winning amount if I lose and I feel bored hahaha. Finally, I thought about just placing the smallest bet, and finally, that's what I've done until now. Honestly, it really helped me in reducing the amount of losses, and I didn't lose all the deposit money I made, and I was also able to play a bit longer. Indeed, I once got a multiplier, but it wasn't as big as what other gamblers got, and to this day, I'm actually still curious about when I can get that big multiplier. But I don't think about it too often and still limit my gambling activities because I don't want to see my money run out just for gambling.

For that reason, after I thought about it on several occasions, I just try to gamble moderately and not chase wins or recover losses because I know that will only make me experience bigger losses. By playing enough gambling, at least it can help me enjoy gambling in my spare time and not think about winning. I think luck will definitely come to me later and I can only be patient while waiting for my turn to come to get lucky and be able to win some money.
1531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: December 28, 2023, 04:22:36 AM
This topic amuses me, because it is a bitter truth.It is really true that we lie to ourselves that gambling is fun especially when we lose money,and we still say it's fun.There is nobody who will derive joy in something that is removing money from his bank account.Every gambler who says gambling is fun is not a regular gambler, because if he was a regular gambler,he will calculate the amount he loses every minutes that he plays,and the amount lost each time he plays,and then he will see whether it will be a thing of fun or something to cry about.Gambling of a truth can never be fun because of the loses involved.
As long as the money is money that we can afford, and it doesn't matter if the money ends up being used for gambling, we shouldn't feel like we are lying to ourselves because we already know that the money can be used for gambling, but we still gamble. If we know and don't want to lie to ourselves and don't want to see the money just run out because of gambling, we don't need to gamble. No one asks us to gamble, but it is because of our own desire that we really want to gamble, so we know the consequences. The important thing is that we can enjoy gambling games in our free time and not worry about everything that will happen after we finish gambling because that is the money we can afford to gamble with. It's different if we really want to chase victory and gamble with a certain amount of money but suddenly, we lose and spend all the money. There is a feeling of regret for why we gamble.
1532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: December 28, 2023, 04:04:51 AM
Now, from the mistakes and negligence of parents, these children could potentially become generation that will experience gambling addiction problems and when they become addicts it will be more difficult to stop because they have no control.
Providing an understanding of control over children is very difficult because even though parents have said and made various efforts, the child will still return to his gambling activities because of feelings of curiosity that are truly uncontrollable.
In some cases, actually bad things happen from cases of gambling addiction experienced by children who are underage or still at school. And of course we as gamblers who are also adults or even married will feel what it would be like if this condition happened to our children or our family.
So at least we ourselves can avoid all bad activities or gambling activities from all the families we have, especially for those who are still classified as underage children.

Well, that what doesn't make sense and I still think that the activity of buying lottery tickets is carried out because of their own will in an effort to fulfill their desires and curiosity about gambling, of course in the desire to buy lottery tickets.
It is shame if there are parents who involve their children in betting activities and of course there will be long-term impacts if things like this continue to be done.
But no one can stop it except themselves as parents.
Children are always curious about many things, but as parents, they should be able to choose what they are allowed to know at their age and not carelessly tell their children something that is not appropriate for them to know. Maybe if they are adults and can think about the good and bad or the benefits and not the benefits of something, parents can tell them about it. However, before they grow up, parents must continue to guide their children and not hand over the responsibility for guiding their children to other people because guidance from other people will be different if the parents themselves do it. Children will also be taught how to be responsible for many things at an early age so that children can remain responsible until they grow up. With guidance from their parents, children will not try to approach gambling because their parents have taught them that approaching gambling can have an impact on them.

If parents tell their children to buy lottery tickets, they should be embarrassed because their gambling activities are known to their children. This can arouse children's curiosity and if they already know about lottery and have their own money from their parents, they will buy their own lottery tickets at the same time as buying lottery tickets for their parents. And this will become a habit for their children, and they will also continue to buy lottery tickets. And if their children win, their parents will actually be happy and think their children are gamblers. That's not a good way for their children because they will continue to buy lottery tickets again at another opportunity.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lack of proper knowledge on casino games increases chance of loss and reduce fun on: December 27, 2023, 02:37:41 PM
Everyone of us starts being a newbie, though we have a knowledge on how to play, but that little knowledge is quite dangerous. But as we go along, we tend to enjoy what we are doing until we fall in love with the game, it's not about the chances of winning, it's more on the entertainment it will bring. Being a wise gambler, we don't risk big money when we aren't confident yet with our chances, so the risk will be reduce even if we are still at the experimenting stage as we would only lose a minimal amount, that if we know how to manage the risk.
And it's better to be a wise gambler so we don't take big risks, let alone lose much money. Having sufficient knowledge in gambling is highly recommended so that we can gamble comfortably in the gambling games. But that's not all gambling games because, for luck-based gambling games, we only need to know the bet amount and start playing. But if it is a skill-based gambling game, having knowledge is necessary to analyze before placing a bet. But overall, we really need to have knowledge about gambling so we can enjoy gambling games. And don't forget about learning self-control when gambling because it prevents us from gambling excessively.

Check the Casino's Reputation, Before you jump into any online casino, take some time to research its reputation. Find out if others have used this casino and whether they've been able to successfully withdraw their winnings. A trusted casino should have a track record of fair payouts.

while we reflect on the reputation of a casino, I think it's paramount to view the support system as very relevant feature of its good reputation, If the support system is active and engaging, people will feel more comfortable and encouraged to use the casinos. A good support department which rectifies client issues fast and helps guide confused clients on their way about the casino offers and activities will surely pull more patronage cos identifying with me and helping me solve my problems in your website easily and faster gives me proper sense of recognition and I would be very fast to give a positive review on such betting site which has made my wellbeing its priority.
The casino's reputation is important to know because it is to know how much trust the gamblers have. Meanwhile, support services are also important for a casino because it is a place where members can complain about their problems and ask for solutions to solve them. These two things are what a casino must have, apart from other things that are just as important. Trusted casinos will always try to maintain their reputation in running their business to provide the best service to their members. Before deciding to register at a casino, we should find out more about what we think are important things to be in a casino. This is important so we won't worry about anything while gambling at the casino.
1535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: December 27, 2023, 12:59:50 PM
As long as they can accept the results of gambling and do not experience stress or frustration due to their losses, they will not feel anything. The pleasure they get from gambling is when they feel comfortable playing gambling. Even if they lose, they will say it's okay because losing is normal in gambling. Next time, I will get lucky and win some money. If they can get pleasure from enjoying their time gambling, they don't even feel that the loss they experience is something to regret and that's because they gamble with the money they can afford. By gambling with the money you can afford, you realize that you can't expect anything from gambling and realize that the money you lost is truly lost and difficult to get back. You must remember not to use money that will be used for your benefit but rather free money that is not used for anything. Think of it as money that can be lost at any time.
1536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: December 27, 2023, 12:20:21 PM
If you play for a few bucks and it is not regular then you can't call the person a gambler. A gambler is a person who is addicted to the gamble. Who has a passion for gambling and if the person loses their fund then the person will reinvest by hook or by crook.
First of all, get the basic knowledge before one could easily hits good projects in the space, though I know it's not easy but we just have to keep pushing for positive energy. It's not easy to become profitable in gambling but If we become more careful when dealing with the system, we strategized to receive good earnings, it can be frustrating to watch our weaknesses causing our losses. A gambler can surpass his boundaries and become more open to receive losses as end results in gambling. There are numerous techniques in the space, we just have to choose the ones that happens to be favorable for our end.
Although we can use many techniques and not just one, we still have to remember that gambling cannot be a way to make money. We are dealing with a system that cannot give us wins more often and with the knowledge we have, we should use gambling as a means to have fun rather than to make money. It will not frustrate us because we already know that if we gamble beyond the limits, we will have a greater risk of losing. Accepting the fact that we can only use gambling as entertainment will make us realize that gambling does not need to be done excessively. We will be wise in gambling and always remember the limits of gambling. This way, we will not experience as many losses as other gamblers experience.
1537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: December 27, 2023, 11:53:47 AM

Whether you realize it or not, anyone who has ever done gambling has a very early stage of becoming addicted, because most people want to have a high income without having to work hard (my opinion)

I don't blame your opinion, because everyone's views will be different and varied😊.
 Yes, in fact in society, people from the start have considered gambling as a way to earn additional income apart from real work and this can influence people to become gambling addicts.
It is very difficult to stop when someone is addicted to gambling. What was on his mind was how to get what he wanted all this time even though the method he was doing was wrong.
That's why it's difficult to educate the public about the dangers of using gambling to get extra income because they have seen several people succeed in getting it. Because the desire to get money from gambling is getting stronger, they keep trying to get it. And even if they have to spend more money, they will still do it. If this is the case, they will find it difficult to stop gambling unless they realize that what they are doing is a mistake and try to fix it by leaving gambling. But if they are addicted to gambling, it will be even more difficult because their mindset has changed and this must be corrected first before curing their gambling addiction.

-snip-
The moment that they allow gambling businesses to operate in their country , and the amount they are gathering in taxations and other stuffs of collections from those businesses , there i put it that they must be blame because they are also responsible to why there is a chance to gamble.
it is like when the government allows liquors and cigarettes then they are also responsible in health issues of those who smokes and drink so why not gambling/
i don't directly blame them but at least they are also part of those cases .

The government should not be blamed entirely for citizens who become gamblers because they allow this business to operate in their country. The government only wants to get taxes from these businesses which are useful for the welfare of the people. The problem of people becoming addicted or other negative things resulting from gambling activities is a joint responsibility of the government and the casino platform. And therefore the government formed a gaming commission to regulate the gambling industry in their country and ensure that gambling remains on a safe and secure path.

I don't even get the idea why we came up with the discussion about the government being blame for addicted gamblers. Isn't it gambling is for entertainment only, just like when a person drink alcohol, or consume cigarrettes, they could also be addicted, but do we blame the government?

That's why there's this thing called "moderate", it should be done in everything we do as entertainment, especially if it involves risking money, because if we don't do that, we will suffer the consequences, and who's fault is that? The government or us?
Maybe they think that the government allowing gambling will make many people interested in gambling. Moreover, they can win some money from gambling, making them continue to gamble. But actually, playing gambling or staying away from gambling is each person's responsibility. The same as smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. We already know the dangers of all of this, so we should be able to stay away from it or choose to use it but with limits.

Yes, we should know about limits and use gambling as entertainment. Otherwise, we will suffer losses because we have lost money playing gambling. And we are actually to blame because we have gambled excessively even though gambling is a pleasure that we are not obliged to do. If we gamble within limits, there would not be any problems that would happen to us.

I have never gambled for more than two hours. It will be very stressful, especially when you see the wins and losses we experience. So far, I've only been gambling for less than an hour and that alone has really grabbed my attention. But as far as we have experienced, if we can feel comfortable playing gambling, that's okay, but we also still have to remember how much time we can spend gambling. But if we only have a short amount of free time, we should not gamble because it is feared that we might rush into gambling. This will result in us not being able to focus on the gambling game, so if we want to gamble, we really have to have free time so we can enjoy the gambling game. No matter how much time we spend gambling, we must remember that when gambling, we must use limits, especially if we use a limited budget allocation. This is to avoid excessive gambling.

Exhaling deeply and slowly while sitting is the easiest way to overcome one's anxiety. When you feel anxious when playing gambling, you can check whether you still feel comfortable with the gambling game or whether you should stop gambling and leave the casino to reduce that anxiety. Usually, the anxiety that occurs when we are gambling occurs when we see that we have experienced a lot of losses, so anxiety arises about the remaining money we have. Luckily for those who can immediately stop their gambling activities and leave the casino but not for those who still have difficulty stopping gambling.
