Are you a problem gambler?

[michkima]

I do not have problems with gambling, I set myself a limit that I can afford to lose painlessly and enjoy the game. I believe that you do not need to expect guaranteed profit from this and there will be no dependence.

This is what we can call a responsible gambler. Every gambler should really do this. Gamble only what you can afford to lose and do not expect to profit from gambling. Most of the time people that gamble money they can't afford to lose becomes miserable after they gamble. Then people that think they can profit from gambling end up bankrupt by the end of the day, because they keep on chasing losses and telling themselves it is part of the profiting process.

That sounds like a responsible gambler indeed, but don't forget that there are probably many gamblers who started out doing things responsibly to then slip and become problematic gamblers anyway.

I think it's also very important to be honest with yourself and recognize it when you're starting to slip and not lie to yourself about it.

I don't think the guy will slip or perhaps I don't want another person to become a victim of gambling and suffer its curse. However, I am not a problem gambler because I am not even a gambler... :p
I tried it once or twice but I am too coward to lose my money for nothing.

Sometimes I have a problem gambling.  I tend to binge gamble.  Trying to get away from it though.

Yes, you should try to avoid this kind of problem. Personally, i don't have any kind of problem when i gamble, because i can control myself when i do it. I always play with a low amount, and i don't consider it like a source for getting profit, I don't effect my finanical situation or feel bad to do that.

It's great when you can control yourself in gambling, I can not do that. To me, it's really hard to do because my gambling problem is that I can not control emotions, I always feel angry and annoyed when losing continuously for a long time, I also tried very hard to set the limits for myself but everything was useless, I always get over the limit and the result I get is that I lose everything

gambling won't give you any problem if you stay on the line , not crossed over the limit . stay cool whatever happened especially when you suffering lost , unfortunately yes everytime it gives you a lot of problem because lack of discipline , people tend to ignorant show the cold shoulder.

hard to avoid problem in gambling when you keep repeating common mistakes.

But that's the point ; staying on the line itself is a hell of a trouble. It is soo difficult to control one's temptation especially when someone is addicted to that deed. Furthermore, you can't remain cool with your losses. It tickles our inner a little bit at least. Gambling is a hell of a task. That is the reason no one can manage gambling without excuses. At some stage all gamblers may face some problems which may lead to life threatening excuses too.

then we maybe will always see a lot of player having problem with gambling , nobody can really have a full control over their gambling habit , it will always run so wild no matter how hard you are trying to avoid and deal with those potential problem.

join several social club to distract and solve it together are a great idea , do that if you want to avoid your problem become worse

I'll say this again people get addicted to gambling but it has been proved that it is  not as addicting as smoking and can be solved by the person. There are very rare cases but there are no solutions but for a normal addict instead of staring at your loses daily go out to a garden daily do some jogging divert your mind, go to your home live with your parents for few days , go to a animal shelter these help you to calm down and realise your mistakes

What is your basis that it is not an addictive activity? There are numerous studies pointing to that gambling as something that could be well classified as an addiction which is a mental problem similar to getting addicted to drugs and alcohol. Yeah sure it can be diverted, but not all gamblers especially the addicted ones can do this because they have something wrong in their cognitive functions.

You never know a addicted gambler is totally unpredictable he can do anything to recover his loss and at a point of time they run out of funds they still want to recover their loss but don't have the funds so they might end up doing some wrong thing

Well for these types of people, gambling sometimes is perceived to be a way out for some. Like alcohol is for an alcoholic person.it can give instant but temporary relief for people who are undergoing hardships so they can't in a way be blamed also.

[betMaster]

Support must come from within in 1st place , there must be a will to fight this problem , this disease , this life ruining activity .. One must be convinced that he needs to change , change for the better , that little light must exist 1st , if not , no solution will be sufficient.

[halych]

No, I have no problem with gambling. I take it as a little entertainment for which you need to set a money limit so as not to lose all the money and at the same time enjoy it.

These kind of addictions does really give a big problem or consequences on our life if we do tend to continue to do it.People are really different on anything,some may do something when they are on stress time or just doing for the sake of leisure and entertainment.Talking about gambling,self control would really be a big thing on here because if you do lack this then expect to be addicted into it later on.

[crwth]

It's great to see people having no problem with gambling and definitely can control themselves. There are a lot of people struggling with gambling because of their addiction to it, It's definitely not healthy and at the same time, their losing their money with it and it's not good. Relationships with people would end up destroyed if they continue gambling.

Well you are stating a fact here.  Lots of people I known that have control on their gambling activities on the previous years had now lost their control.  My neighbor for example, we had him fixed our bathroom shower that day, he then start the job but then when his friend invite him to play poker, he then leave the job unfinished and play with his friend.  It took another day to finish the job.  Though as I remember it, he is able to reject invitation when working a few months back.

Yes it is nice to see people not a problem gambler and usually set a limit for themselves when playing gambling. In gambling there is a need of self control, decision making, and setup limit for themselves. Because these would help not to be a problem gambler at the end.

I doubt that people could really set a limit and control themselves everyday.
As at some point they will try to break it and make money successfully for a while.
To het lost in the end and full of regret then , i have seen something like that more often than those people who get profit steady in gambling , we are mostly have gambling problem.

When someone loses in any game, definitely the feeling he gets is not a good or enjoyable one but when someone loses money and keep on facing such defeats, then he becomes a victim of frustration, tension and anxiety. Gambling is a very addictive game and dangerous at the same time so it is better to stay calm and show no greed.

If someone has no addiction to gambling, then playing it on a repeated basis is not a problem at all. Gambling or the gambler becomes a problem both for him and the society as well when he is addicted to it in some way or the other. Gambling is a healthy practice only for those who have a god control over their emotions.

[Reid]

The truth hurts but it is true. I have a gambling problem.
I turned my .02 bitcoin into zero in just minutes of playing dice. I almost deposit more again just to get it back but thank God the internet connection went into some maintenance. After that I got to  breath again and tell myself I should stop. I will try to look at the link later.

[nataxa093]

I have never had any problems, and even more dependent on gambling. I sometimes like to play roulette or black Jack, but the dependencies I have.

[rocketbits]

I am glad to hear that you are not a problem gambler. Mostly, I stumble into weeping guys. Roulette needs luck to win so I don't know whether you have fate with you or not but I really want you to share your strategies for staying out of problems. It would be a great help to many.

But if someone with an addiction has come and play again even if they haven't played for a very long time they'll just get addicted to it again. So it's better for addicted gamblers to find a hobby and stop gambling since it will be bad for their health and wealth.

This might be a little help. but I make sure that addiction in the gambling game will be very difficult to remove. at this time a lot of people who feel addicted and can not get out of the zone that can ruin his life. the only way it might try to get out and get away from the various media that can connect us to the gambling game.
