Does this sound realistic?

[TheUltraElite]

Even how good we want someone to be yet this is not enough in each of everyone,we can apply things to our self but not with others.

But we can teach them what is right and wrong and help them make decisions. That is what a forum is for. People can talk and discuss among themselves to come to a change in mindset.

gambling has been a problem even befoe our grand great parents was born and believe me addiction is sickness and not a behavior..

Addiction becomes a sickness at times if you allow it to become so and make it the only thing you are obsessed with. This should be controlled and I feel every person is capable of doing so.

there are some instances that gambling addiction turns to criminality just like what happen in the Philippines couple of years ago when a gambling addict killed dozen of people in casino.but this is a good theory and much better if will be applied by gamblers to prevent becoming addicted

Average person in PH is a more or less belonging to the low income strata. Not having a proper job and economic instability are the reasons people turn to other methods of money making which are often risky. That cannot be generalized to other people.

The increasing needs and life standard also compel people to find the shortest way of making money, which even they know can be more risky, but still they try to take the risk and become rich in no time, but only few people can become successful there, while most of the people even loses everything they have.

The problem that commonly been done by a irresponsible gamblers, instead of treating this venue for relaxations and fun they use the channel
trying their luck to have an easy access to fortune, ending up suffering with more problems that will lead them to addictions or depressions.

Not even few can be rich because the chances of making win from gambling is less but more people managed to do that but the problem is they are gambling again with the money they have won which results them in losing all the winnings with the initial amount they have used for betting.

This sounds good in theory, but I think it would be very hard for -some- people to disconnect from the notion that they gamble to win money.
The thing with addiction is that it kind of creeps up on you, without you noticing it at first.

So, you could very well be lying to yourself about 'only doing it for fun', while you're still getting addicted slowly.

A better tactic might be to severely limit the amount of time you spend on gambling, by sheer willpower alone.
When you see that you cannot do that, you can be pretty sure that you would be prone to becoming addicted in the future.

i am more with this kind of approach towards gambling.
because the reason of "doing it for fun" is really not true at all, for most of us.
 and yeah, it takes strong willpower to do it or can i use your word sheer?
and you alone should commit to this decision.
 most people fail in that aspect. we are human and very weak.
i do admire individuals who can quit from their addiction, not only in gambling alone. so many types of human addiction that hard to treat even with professional help.

I believe there are few who can do that, of course not everyone are loser in gambling, otherwise people won't be interested anymore in playing it.
Why gamblers still gamble because of the challenge within, sometimes we win and sometimes we loss and it's very entertaining when we are challenge at the same time.

 I am a gambler myself and I can't say I keep winning but I make sure I keep having fun everytime I do.

Thats a very dark opinion to make. Not sure which countries you are referring to but the 1st world has what is known as Social security. But I can see how not having that simple allowance can end up making people turn to wrong things just to make ends meet.

Its properly said that if you are not willing to control your addictions you will end up dead. Same with gambling for the addicted gamblers since they try to make big wins but mostly add upto a loss only. Taking a risk is not bad but there should be a limit to the risk. Moreover those people who are not having the logic to understand these things should not gamble because they are the ones prone to get addicted.

The one that stands out to me is the gambler who loses tries to win back what they lost and try to do it in a short amount of time. Thus betting more than before and if they lose at this attempt they try it again but with a larger amount. And the cycle continues until they have lost much more then they can afford to lose.
This to me is how addiction starts in gambling.
Being so irresponsible as you have just mentioned these gamblers are with their initial bank roll.

The theory is;
If you want to gamble, see it more like you are paying the casino or gambling platform to have some fun (just like you do to go watch some movies in cinema), which if you are paying for anything, you are not meant to expect it back. The good thing however is that, you can actually end up being paid more for having that fun if you get lucky, but the chances of seeing that happen is pretty slim. In that light, if you cannot actually live with doing what I said above, then you should not be gambling at all.

This theory of yours doesn't seem realistic to me because gambling most time is for earning and not for fun as you propose. Allow me to say this; gambling for money is the only means you can earn from gambling else gambling for fun as the primary aim will never generate money from that fun. So, gamble as if you want money and the end result will surely be profitable.

You cannot compare gambling and casino with movie watching etc. You pay for the movie and then enjoy it for some 2 hours. You do not enjoy by placing your money in gambling game and losing in a matter of seconds. Gambling is played with the aim of getting quick money and I don't think people only play it for Fun only.

That's true, you don't loss watching movie because you won't watch it if you don't want it, that's called quality time spending.
In gambling, you are risking your money to win, if you loss then I don't think you'll get the entertainment you are looking, unless you are a lot of money to waste.

If anyone uses their brain and think about it , they would know that rather than doing good it harms you in the end if you continuously keep gambling for the long time . But if you gamble for fun it should be fine as you will be in your limits .

Ok! I was actually trying to get reasons why people get addicted to gambling which we all know is more self inflicted. However, I came up with this theory for someone who may actually want to gamble and then would not want to get addicted based on trying to fix their mentality about it and I would like to seek your opinion on what you think about it, if it can actually end up working for any gambler or not.

Does this sound like a mentality that can help anyone understand what they are in for if they indeed want to gamble or something even those who are tending towards addiction can set their mind to so as not to get into that deep gambling hole that is hard to come out from?

For me yes. It do sounds great and the idea is what I usually set up in my mind whenever I do want to play gamble. Together with that idea in my mind, I only set up betting small amount of money to help me think that if ever I loss, it is just a small amount that at least I have fun and challenged, at the same time feel that intensity of playing gamble. It is really the right mindset that we are paying for playing to be entertained nothing more, nothing less. The winning part must be taken as a bonus you can earn for having fun and that's all. That is what I literally do whenever I play into an online casino enjoying variety of games at the same time their great bonus for doing my first deposit.

Of course, they'll aiming for that but not of thinking quick money.
In some cases a group of people/friends do gambling just for fun but to win in there is somewhat just a luck for us. We can think we should win cause it definitely won't have assurance even you spend whole day in gambling, most probably many were losing that of winning.

I usually also do the same thing of betting in small amount to enjoy having a great game. Together with some strategic response to make myself have a long game play.

The important thing is that you are enjoying what you are doing but always remember to have a proper moderation. I like to know what are those variety of games you have been playing into that online casino you were saying that maybe I could also enjoy.

It does not take long to turn that enjoyment to a game of loss involving money that you cannot hope to recover. Nobody comes to a casino with the hopes of making money - is that statement correct? It is actually incorrect. They come with the pretext of superficial desire to enjoy the game while money making by trying their luck is the deep desire. This is the reason why people cant stop chasing losses - they feel a sense of competition and at that time they cannot use the logic that the house will always win and they continue to gamble despite huge losses.

Indeed. If you are just really up into enjoying and having fun is the reason why you are playing gambling, then settling into low betting games can already satisfy you. Well, there are really lots of variety of games you can play into the online casino I am currently into plus enjoy their great welcome bonus for doing your first deposit.

[biskitop]

the theory can be lost when you first play, but get a round of wins, and finally lust for a bigger win and finally bet bigger. then you can judge for yourself what will happen. controlling lust is very difficult when gambling.

[Little Mouse]

When people lose a chunk amount of money, they think of recovering it by playing and they get addicted. On the same manner, when they get some good profit, they think of making some more easy passive income and get addicted. That's how gambling addiction works. Ans if someone can control here, he definitely plays for fun only.
