The madness of gambling addicts.

[Dewi Aries]

Yes, when someone is addicted to gambling, they will often play to pursue luck and self-control is not used in every gambling game, so they will definitely often lose money because they play too much. Yes, it is possible that a serious addict will act very fatally in order to get money back which is only used for gambling, from here we can conclude that addiction is very dangerous and terrible both in our lives and in our surroundings.

Gambling addiction is a serious issue. When someone is addicted, they often chase after luck and lose self-control, leading to significant financial losses. Sometimes they seriously decide to recover their lost money. This loss of money causes a lot to their family.

Of course, and we can see it from the serious bad impacts experienced by gamblers who are addicted, where they suffer many setbacks in their lives, especially from a financial perspective, where they lose balance in their financial situation, so we can measure the badness of addiction, namely from the bad effects. what is suffered and experiencedby addicted gamblers.

One of the diseases that is difficult for gamblers who are addicted to get rid of is that, as you said above, they often dedicate themselves to chasing losses to reach the recovery phase, which means they cannot take responsibility for the decisions they made previously which led them to defeat. so that emotions dominate and lead them to more aggressive or impulsive actions that make the possibility of a worse situation even greater. Therefore, this is why we are always advised to be very careful, because if not then of course you will be one of those who feel various significant pressures due to experiencing many bad impacts.

If we talk about gambling addiction it will never end because it actually has to be continuously posted on this forum to continuously remind beginners,

I'd say, to continuously remind everyone, because not only beginners are facing the risks of becoming gambling addicts.  Anyone of us can become a gambling addict if we stop being cautious all the time.

in fact it is not only young people who are addicted to gambling, even older gamblers are still many, gambling addiction knows no age, most of them are older gamblers who usually gamble for their living needs so they become gambling addicts hoping that gambling will be a place that can provide a steady income.

When you think that gambling can provide a steady income that's your first clue that you are on the road to addiction. No one should seriously consider that.

Meanwhile, young people usually have already spent their parents' money, which makes them keep trying to recover all the money they lost.

Another act of some gamblers that leads to the madness of gambling addiction is trying to recover your losses. When it happens in young age it's worse of all because thus you can become a gambling addict for your whole life.

Gambling should be a place that makes everyone happy, but most people always think that by playing gambling they can make them rich and get a lot of money

Well, I disagree with you here. I'm pretty positive that most people enjoy gambling without becoming addicted. It makes them happy as it should.

Everyone should understand the serious disease in gambling, namely gambling addiction, so never underestimate gambling addiction, sometimes people who have been affected by this disease are very difficult to cure because I see a lot of gambling addicts around where I live, where they don't only lost a lot of money and property but also their family who left them in a bad condition, not all their families help gambling addicts to recover as people think, there are only people who are lucky to have caring families who want to help cure their addiction.

Sometimes every addict has unreasonable reasons for always chasing and recovering their losses, even though when they win big and all their losses have been recovered, they never stop gambling and continue playing until finally their winnings run out again, that's why it's something that has become a habit. and being attached to yourself is quite difficult to get rid of, the only way is to try to cure it from yourself because it is not easy to cure addiction without an inner intention to heal. The point is that as experienced gamblers we are obliged to remind novice gamblers to avoid this disease.

Of course, addiction is a dangerous but invisible disease because the disease is in one's mind that always controls the mind of a gambler and directs them to various actions that have the potential to cause harm, and for the problem of its impact, of course gambling addiction can destroy a person's life in various aspects or as a whole, whether it's in terms of finances as you mentioned and also in terms of family relationships where it is not uncommon for me to see some of them who end up divorcing due to economic problems and the loss of harmony that is difficult above.

Yes that's right, the majority of addicted gamblers have various excuses that sound absurd, there are some of them who hope or think that someday they can become rich just by gambling, when the fact is clear that in any case there is no significant result with just a little effort which in addition to winning always depends on luck. And as you said that even if they have managed to get a big enough win like for example equal to the amount they had previously lost or more but in the end it is still difficult for them to stop and secure the money, and yes in the end greed is the first thing that comes to mind, so it means that gambling addiction is a cycle that has no end, where someone will only stop when they have run out of all their money in total.

If you understand that addiction to gambling is a serious problem, of course you must be able to avoid gambling frequently so that you don't easily become addicted to gambling. As you said, it is very true that when someone is chasing luck, it will certainly be difficult to decide on things that are profitable for them and Many of them experience losses from what they do, it is important in gambling that we can control ourselves so that we don't spend a lot of money gambling.

Gamblers allow their thoughts and emotions to overshadow them when gambling and that is why you see that gamblers fail to caution themselves when gambling, because some of them want to make sure that they win the casino. Forgetting that the house hedge will always win. This is one of the reason why a gambler will not be able to control himself when gambling. If a gambler keeps in mind that he will run at loss today if he gambles, and because he loves gambling he will only use little amount to gamble so that he does not get affected by his emotions after losing the game. Most gamblers put winning in their heart than losing.

People do seem to underestimate the advantage the house do get over the gamblers most times which is referred to as the house edge, they usually get to think they can be so lucky to mostly out smart the house and have their way through only to eventually still loose all of their funds to the house and then get to see that it's only a few out of many times they do get lucky to the point that they win and the other times, the house have got the advantage over them .

Emotions have been one of the strongest feelings most gamblers have to battle and sometimes don't get to win the battle because they expose their selves to so much risk that they are not able to control their emotions any more, if they are able to manage their risk well enough that they are not so exposed and loose all of their money, they will not have to get to the point of having the whole emotional struggle which keeps them at the mercy of the house over the times they are playing.

Generally those elder people will act more responsible in their life but there is exception in everything and this poor guy tried something probably inspired from a story somewhere and try to replicate the same but at the end it backfired. Since you mentioned there is not much enough details reported by news so we can't really conclude that is the reality or not but at the end of the day the person committed violence is paying back now in prison probably for the rest of his life.

The entire money risk is with oneself so a person of middle age or below age can certainly gamble if they think they are fit to gamble. In some regions, school-aged students are getting addicted to gambling, while in some regions, middle-aged people are getting addicted to gambling, and in some regions, people are deciding to gamble in their old age. That is, the age limit for gambling varies from place to place, but more or less everyone gambles and people of all ages are involved in gambling. In some regions gambling is considered as a bad sport and in some regions it is normal if you say only middle aged people gamble a lot then I will say it is wrong.

I am not sure if gambling addiction is a disease, in the same way that alcohol addiction and other addictions are not a disease, they are behavioral patterns.

There's no "cure" to an addiction, you just have to behave in a different way.

This is different to, say, a virus inside your body, which can effectively be killed or removed, and therefore you are cured from that disease.

To me those are different things.

Not just the money but also too much time that you spent, if you can control yourself and limit your money and time then you will be able to avoid getting addicted, but the case with OP is the madness of the person who already into addiction, they can do unusual things which most of those who knew them don't anticipate that may able to do it, some of those samples are selling valuable items, barrowing money and doing crimes that really worst in terms of pleasing their addictions.

It's a tough call when you are already attach and deeply engage to this industry, though it's still on you and your decision making that will prevents you to getting involve and become addicted.

That's right and gambling addiction is very difficult to cure even with the help of others, only gamblers are truly cured of this addictive behavior by themselves and on their own awareness.
And it is certain that from the consequences of this addiction, a gambler's life will really sink and many problems often come to him, such as those experienced by addicted gamblers, namely losing a lot of money and it is difficult to recover quickly.

Yes, it is true that all control must start from ourselves because other people can only advise without having any control to stop ourselves when gambling, especially if you are addicted to gambling, it is usually difficult to cure if it doesn't come from your own desire to recover, I often see People around me who are addicted to gambling are very difficult to cure in any way, but they eventually recover by themselves because of their own will to stop, so actually all control must come from oneself.

As we also know, all gamblers' decisions start from themselves without any encouragement to gamble, even though there is encouragement from people around them, the decision still comes from oneself, therefore, to cure gambling addiction it must come from oneself in the end. The point is that every gambler must be more careful that gambling must be within reasonable limits and not excessive because anything excessive will end badly or can become a gambling addiction. The craziness of every gambler usually always makes the gambler addicted.

All gamblers understand the meaning of addiction and they know that they can get addicted if they over gamble, but the problem lies where the gambler wants to make profit with gambling rather than gambling for fun. This is where he will lose control of himself, because his focus and mindset to on winning money from the casino. Unknown to them that it is was way in which they will get addicted ans loss more to the casino. Knowing the right time to quit the game helps a lot and stopping at the right time is also a way to minimize your losses. Some gamblers gets addicted without knowing so, but if they are open minded to people around them, they will spot it out and advice the addict on how to become free from addiction. Addiction is like a plague and is not good to human health.

I think addiction is a disease where they have problems with their thinking which can affect their mentality and can also affect their health. because when they become addicted they will continue to do actions that are actually wrong and even though there is a possibility that they are aware that the actions they are doing are wrong, they still do them even though it is a big risk, and with that I think it is certain that they have problems with their thinking. If they don't pay attention to their actions, it's a big risk because they think they can win even though it's not certain when it will happen. Even their behavior is based on their thoughts first, because if their thoughts are good, I think they will take good actions by not taking actions that pose a big risk to themselves which could endanger themselves and even endanger other people.

there is a possibility of a cure for addiction, and I think the cure is awareness, when they are fully aware and truly aware that the actions they have taken are wrong and have caused them to lose a lot of money, they will have the mindset to recover and move forward by leaving the habit. It's a gamble, but this is very unlikely. because when they become addicted they will only gamble because they feel that the actions they are doing are right.

Often times, the problem is not only that addicts cannot afford treatment, especially if this requires attending several treatment sessions (depending on the severity of the case). In fact, in many cases, opportunities for rehabilitation and reintegration are not available in the addict's environment.
As an example of this, my country has only two addiction treatment centers, each with a capacity not exceeding 20 cases, which are almost entirely dedicated to treating cases of alcohol and drug addiction. These two centers are private investments, meaning that the cost of joining one of them is very high, and the patient often must wait in a list of long queue. The Ministry of Health claims to provide special addiction treatment departments in some public hospitals, but at the same time it requires the hospital administration to obtain all personal data of patients before entering the treatment phase, which prevents the majority from joining these departments because they do not want anyone to know about them. It is a real dilemma, and therefore the majority of those gambling addicted do not receive any type of treatment, regardless of their financial capabilities, and therefore rely more on family and friends to provide support.

Well, given these things, governments with so much money they Manage Should always have money to make different types of deposits for these treatments and expand capacity. Sometimes they want to silence gambling Addicts , but it is much better when a person does it. We do not have enough resources to receive treatment like this, so let the government take care of this problem, and even then things happen in Favor of the person who has almost no resources , because in itself it is a life that is can save. , and I think that is the duty of a government, to protect its citizens, perhaps your country has much more order and can Achieve it, in my country it is not even close to this type of Thing.

It can be said that most countries do not care much about cases of addiction, with the exception of a few developed countries that have scientific research centers specialized in psychology research, and therefore require the presence of universities and specialized medical departments, given that public hospitals are highly equipped and support all branches. These same countries support gambling and grant activity licenses and therefore bear the responsibility of supporting those who will become addicted.

You and I are from third world countries where gambling addiction is still not recognized as a disease, and society considers the gambling addict to be cursed or afflicted with demonic possession, meaning that what afflicts him is often a punishment of divine nature. I am not surprised by the increase in cases of gambling addiction in countries whose laws prohibit the practice of gambling based on moral (religious). In those countries, even regular gambling is considered a social stigma, let alone addicts. By the way, this also applies to other types of gambling, such as drugs and alcohol.
