Can we encourage anyone to develop self control in order to minimize gambling?

[meliodas]

That's not impossible to encourage anyone to have develop self control and in fact self control is in your nature as a person. Well having more worst experiences of losing in gambling could probably make you realize in along run that maybe you need to have it. One way of encouraging a friend or any person who you happen to know is divert him with any sports activities and other pleasurable things in order to shortened his time priorities which affects hus gambling schedules in any time of the day.

Yeah I think we could encourage other to do it,
I mean we could let them do any other stuff that would keep them busy and distracted for gambling,
But it is up to them if they will do it we can not force somebody to do the things that they don't want to do.

Well in a way you'rr right that its part of our nature to have self control, but its also part of our nature to lose ourselves in whatever we do that gives us contentment and fulfillment. We can't just really tell other people to control themselves and gamble less. It has to start from them. They have to want it. If a person is fond of games, then most likely gambling would give them satisfaction they get from playing other games as well.

Its really possible but it would depend on what kind of person or friend you do have to convince because if hes open up for suggestions from other people he would probably listen to the advice but there are people even how hard you explain or advice they wont still listen at all.

For those who just do regular gambling, it's possible.

But it's a different story for hardcore gambler. Better let them experience the feeling of being a wrecked one even you don't like that to happened. Since that kind of result is the only way they can feel that gambling will not do any good in the long run.

Unfortunately, you can't  do that when your friend is attached to gambling, though you can try, but I doubt that they would listen. They would only listen to you if they are losing too much and there is nothing in their wallet to fund their bankroll.

You should find what he loves to do the most when your friend is not busy betting.  

[stomachgrowls]

If you are talking into a gambling addict then we cant encourage them because their mind and aims are attached already to gambling which means even you encourage them they will still play.

[Mr. Big]

You can, but it will be hard... You might end up in disappointment if you insist... When a gambler is focused on what he wants to do ( to gamble or bet ) You cannot break their concentration as it will end up as if you are an annoying person that gambler ever met... 

May be it is effective if before the guy starts to gamble, you told him/her that you will be reminding him/her to take a break from time to time...

We can try to stop them, but it's not that much easy. Family members can do this very quickly because every person gives respect to family members words. If they give suggestions, there is possibilities are there to follow their suggestions not sure. But friends suggestions they really don't care. If they are in critical condition, then they will listen, but this is also not sure.

[Slark]

Op, you are right, but being right in this case is not enough. You can't just develop self control, you either have it or not.
I've seen people with iron will who otherwise were great men succumb themselves to the excessive gambling virus.
If you are addicted or you entered the phase when you want to 'just get back what you lost' you won't stop.

[Mbokani]

If you really like your friend take him to a counselor and give him the best possible counselling to stop gambling rather than preaching about self control and stuff. It is really difficult to understand and guide an individual who is ridding the wrong path of life. For these you need an expert to deal.

Self control is within everybody and no one needs to be told to be self control by default, its in everyone the attitude we display towards it is what differs as what might be self control to me, might be within the acceptance region of another person. In the case of gambling, I dont think its necessary because the assumption I have concerning anyone engaging in gambling is that he / she is fully responsible for his action so if the result should come out of self control or lack of it, he/she should be ready for its consequence.

But I believe, suggesting to have self control is more important for gamblers than anyone else. Unlike any other industry, gambling gives us extra pressure that is the reason people are losing their coolness and act based on their emotions. I guess no other field is emotionally controlling us to lose our self control.

Self control is the thing which could be developed just by encouraging one person. It will be possible only through strong will power. Still, in some cases, encouragement will help people to develop disciplines from that they may practice self control.

Yes gambling will give more tension, Other business people will not get this much tension. In gambling it is instant money loss, so people will not control their emotions. And it will make them lose more money in the row. But this self-control we can not encourage to others they only learn how to control their emotions. And when they learn means when people lose all money and wallet empty then they realise and they start to control their emotions.

Yes, of course, we could encourage anyone to develop self control in gambling, But as i know everyone have knowledge about self control, so sometime it is useless to tell anyone about self control. Because in this time, everyone have play online and real gambling, and they all know that gambling is risky, So i don't think we need to tell anyone to develop self control. 

[Pab]

If you can develop self control for yourself you can share it,you cant convict anybody to stop or gamble less.But if person will relly want to control himself,than for sure he will appreciate.Question is are you able to control yourself

[olubams]

I believe its one of the reason why some bitcoin gambling sites or gambling spite generally always ensure that anybody patronising their services accepted the terms that they are adult by the definition of laws in their respective countries because gambling comes with responsibility and anyone going into it by default should be able to exercise self control and not to lose what you cannot afford then start crying foul or scam all over... Not that I am supporting scam though by sites though...

[michaelch]

Yes, for sure. Education and knowledge are definitely factors in developing someone's self control, especially in the odds and mathematics of the games of chance.

Unless you are a Victoria Secret model or some kind of professional trained and certified in helping people with addiction, I seriously doubt anything you do or say will do anything other than annoy and cause the gambler in question to avoid you. It has to start with the gambler him/her-self. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time in my opinion.

This is a good solution for the gamblers in gambling world. If all gamblers will apply this behavior for sure losses in gambling could possibly lessen the problems.

Self control is easier with gambling because investments can replace that urge... Although with higher amounts it's likely to be better without gambling, the joy is sometimes rigid over time using the same amount.

It takes loads to unveil the downfall with this particular area and is usually learned whilst performing this activity.
