How can we avoid addictions in gambling?

- how can we avoid or control our gambling activities so that's it wouldn't lead to addictions ?

The first step to staying disciplined in gambling should be to play for fun. Second, allocate a certain amount of funds for gambling based on your ability. Third, keep your emotions under control and do not get excited in any situation whether you win or lose.

If you can follow these recommendations, it is possible to reduce the risk of gambling addiction to a large extent. Most gamblers come to gambling platforms with the aim of making more money in a short time, as a result of which those gamblers lose control over themselves and become addicted.

-how often should we gamble?

You should always allocate money for gambling based on your financial ability because most of the time you can lose in the game. If you allocate money within your ability, you will be less likely to lose an excessive amount of money. How often it is good to gamble should depend on the amount of money you allocate.

To understand gambling addiction, by examining the behavior of an addicted gambler, one can easily understand the difference between an addicted gambler and a non-addicted gambler. An addicted gambler cannot get a good idea about his addiction. But those who are not addicted can easily understand the difference between an addicted and a non-addicted gambler. Above all, I would say that if a gambler can control himself in any situation, then he can protect himself from addiction.

Identifying oneself.

I think this is important for a gambler. He must know where he is at when it comes to gambling, and he must know if he is too hooked with the game and cannot even live a day without playing. I think that's near addiction, or worse, it is already a gambling addiction.

Histories and records of how we play and how much money and time we spend must be reviewed. If we are wasting too much time just gambling for a day, I do believe we should calibrate our time management because it won't be healthy anymore.

In fact, the main thing here is self-control. The one who cannot control himself basically becomes addicted. If he could control himself, he would never have become addicted to gambling. If someone thinks that he is becoming addicted, then at the beginning he should pay attention to what needs to be done to remove himself from now on. For this, he can follow some steps if he wants, he can take a break from gambling for a few days. He can keep himself busy with other recreational activities instead of thinking about winning or losing. By paying attention to some things in this way, it is possible to be saved from gambling addiction.

I agree, whatever the goal, if the goal is to avoid gambling addiction, then it's a matter of good self-control. With good self-control, players will naturally be able to prevent themselves from engaging in addictive behavior, such as prolonging a gambling session after a losing streak.

In my opinion, the process of becoming addicted to gambling just happens. It's rare for people to realize they're addicted and take the initiative to prevent it. Most often, they don't realize it at first, and that realization only comes after they've already suffered significant losses.

I think it's really simple. If a person can simply stop gambling, and never think about it again, they're not addicted.

If the person stops but then it's all the time thinking about gambling, then there's an addiction right there.

It's all in the mind really.

Addiction is something inside the mind where you can't balance your emotions and you are keep pushing yourself doing things, and like what you said, if you stop then contiue thinking about it, chances that addiction already developed and if you are being dominated and you push yourself playing back, then that's increase the adrenaline and it will lead you to a deeper addiction, best to stop then quit yourself away and think of other alternative activities to prevent  you to think about gambling.

Gambling has been in an existence long time ago and it has always been fun all the way. Many people got involved in gambling just to have fun while some other people see it as there own way of expressing passion for games, sporting bet etc. however gambling that was initially made for fun and excitement later became a major problem to humanity due to addiction that has lead to the down fall of many young people that got involved in gambling.

These has kept me worried and restless so I decided to ask this questions :

- how can we avoid or control our gambling activities so that's it wouldn't lead to addictions ?

-how often should we gamble?

Not really to avoid it ,once you have become a gambler you are ,but the most important thing is that gambling has way to redeem you,in this world today am proud to know how to gamble, because it gives me ideas to follow many things on my part,so to avoid it totally I can't but I can't still get addicted to it and gambling can't control me,but I will control it at all cost

- how can we avoid or control our gambling activities so that's it wouldn't lead to addictions ?

In my opinion, by not spending all of our daily income or setting aside just 1% of it, we can avoid gambling addiction. Most importantly, we must instill in our minds never to view gambling as a means of earning income, but rather as entertainment. This way, it won't lead to gambling addiction, and we should never force ourselves after losing several times, as forcing ourselves to gamble will make it difficult to control our emotions.
