[Ucy]

Self control is really hard. I, myself can proved that. There are so many times that being addicted to a game which you experience winnings is hard to resist. But I've came to realized, no one can help me except myself. There is no future being addicted in gambling. If it will benefit us gamblers, give up.

There are so many times that being addicted to a game which you experience winnings is hard to resist.

This is probably not addiction. I think it may be greed which everyone is guilty of.

Self control is indeed hard. It requires a lot of discipline and regular practice to work.

Right.If you will gamble without self control,you will surely end up addicted in gambling.But i think having self control is really hard especially while you keep winning in gambling.You will surely gamble again and again to make profits.And it's now too late to realize that you are now losing so you keep chasing then to recover your losses.

Self-discipline is your real enemy here. And pure determination to change oneself is very very tough. It is like any other addiction, you need to contemplate on what you really want in life and stick to your goals. The temptations are always there and you need to fight with that temptations.

This one of the reason why you become addicted if you didn't control this. "Chasing Losses" Why you've chased your lose that it can hard to defeat the gambling banker or especially house edge. When you've got lose then stop and relax for a moment let them take care of your losses. Instead, just relax or drink a cup of coffee and come back after an hour when you have free time and if you have been done just relax again.

Good friend of mine cant seem to keep his eyes off the phone when we are out having a couple
So happens we find out he has a gambling problem as has been checking the scores for all these years when we were thinking he was chatting with the ladies
In the pub, while driving, church it doesnt stop.

And that’s really an addiction when even in church he has no control but checking his gambling bets,this is one thing that must be cure because I am afraid that it would bring more danger when the situation worsens

There are a situation in the past when a gambling addict forced enter a casino and burned a room killing a lot of people just because of uncontrollable gambling behavior

Aw, doesn't look good mate, at least if you are in a church don't bring your phone. It's really hard to quit this addiction, specially of all the places, even in church you can't even stay away from your phone and not to look at scores.

I am sure many of us have the same feeling and experience as you, and it's not just happened to you. Self-control was very difficult to do in gambling because we've always tempted to try to win the money and we can lose control for ourselves. We really need help from other people if we lose control so they can come to us and help us. But that will not work if we don't have a strong willing to solve about addicted to gambling because we take responsibly for ourselves and other people could only help us.

For many reason people are addicting in gamble day by day. That can be personal family problem, it can be gambler is a patient of depression, It can be the gambler has huge money and want to diploid it over night, And it also can be the gambler want to be a rich man in over night. And sometime people play gamble for doing fun and when he loss huge money then they try to chase the losses money thus the got addicted by gamble. Possible solution is making social awareness about the bad side of gambling IMO.

I recently heard a story about Gambling addicts from a worker who works as a manager on the floor. They are the ones who check and manages tables, and they are the one to approve different kinds of transactions there.

Anyways, it's about a person who is an addict who isn't going anywhere. He said that in his shift, let's say it's the morning shift, he saw the person there, playing. Nothing out of the ordinary, but when my friend says he is going out of his shift, he is still there, the player, so, at that time, it's quite okay because it's just almost 8 hours. When he came back the next day, that same guy with the same clothes is still there.

Just a reminder that there are people who really need help, but not interested in helping themselves.

It's not that they do not want help it's just that they are in total denial that they are very much addicted to gambling, they do not know who to approach and what are the stps to be take to get out of that prison, only a proffesional can do that for them.

Well, there is nothing much we can do, as nobody wants to be an addict, but they get addicted as the time passes. There are many people their addiction is serious and they need medical treatment.

Those people who need medical treatment will recover and then resume gambling again with more hunger for winnings. Addition of gambling is a very bad thing in gambling contributing to the disadvantage portion of it. In such situations s/he will bet and will face with loss or s/he will bet and will face with win. Its addiction causes both mental disabilities as well as medical treatment issues arise.

I laughed reading about "medical treatment". I think if the addict becomes a madman maybe he will have a new place to gamble in a mental hospital. It was unthinkable how bad gambling addicts needed medical treatment, because as far as I know gambling addicts are experienced players who certainly have good control, indeed not all gamblers like that, but I'm sure they don't need medical treatment to stop, because everything is do in gambling there is a limit and I'm sure they are aware of the right time to stop spending money.

Maybe not in total denial since you are talking about grown-up people. They are perhaps deflecting on the subject and just thinking about themselves, whether it is true or not. Maybe the professionals could help you in some way, but you could never be sure until you help yourself. That's the real breakthrough if you think about it.

Lolzzz, there are people who have already made up their mind to be useless for the rest of their life.

How are poor people even allowed in that betting store? Are you sure they are poor or just that they put every money in gambling? Because definitely, people in the slums could not afford to gamble. And telling someone that they are useless is not a proper term. Maybe it's a matter of self-discipline, and they need to be educated with what they are experiencing.

What kind of medical treatment is applicable for gambling addicts bud? I think you are referring here on the mental conditioning of that person. He may need to see a psychiatrist and acknowledge that there is something wrong in him.

We then you should not be gambling around, if you have a hard time controlling yourself, you are in great risk.

There are so many times that being addicted to a game which you experience winnings is hard to resist. But I've came to realized, no one can help me except myself. There is no future being addicted in gambling. If it will benefit us gamblers, give up.

If you don't seek for other people's help because you don't believe them, you will not be cured.
I myself was also addicted once in my life, but I learned and now I'm smarter, so losing for me now is not risky as I can stay on budget.

Gamblers will not admit that they are so addicted to gambling, they will do a lot of alibis like they have a good run of winning or have nothing to do, or they will eventually win and just waiting for their luck to come in, they need strong family support or a professional that can make him realized that he had to stop this.

Most of the gamblers are addicted to gambling but they never realize or know  this. They keep on playing gambling until they realize that they had spend everything in gamble (Probably due to greediness). The solution to this problem is that every gamblers should think how much money he is sending upon gambling and make a note of it. If he seems to be spending more than he can afford he should stop for some time.

You will know when say it's not something that can make you still alive if you often to play gambling as an addict. Gambling is not a way to stay long time with us, just come per weeks or per months to do gambling and it will avoid someone to be an addict. Being an addict to gambling will happen if someone continue to try to resolve their curious to make every bet they made is win and it will happen in the whole days because you will feel it's time to resolve it but this is wrong way. In the gambling field someone need a time to make him comfortable, because gambling it is not about strategy but depend their pscyhology.

In our country gambling is like a culture or tradition and never it did happen that government remove this kind of activity here in our country and the best solutions the government do? Well, regulating and giving license this kind of activity was the government's solutions because gambling is hard to remove or eradicate in our place.

 We should let it made that way for there are solutions that could be done in those users that had gone gambling addiction and it will be the friends or the immediate family could help one from gambling addiction.

If you do Gambling you need also a control to your self. Just play for past time and enjoyment but, don't spend too much time always control and have decipline to our self, because gambling is good but too much playing I don't think is good  as much.
