Gambling Addiction at its Worst!

[Golftech]

I know it is hard to leave the life that you've been used to, but guys, it is all worth it if you will quit gambling and explore the world, it's much prettier and beneficial to us.

You are 1000% right.

He is damn true. This is world is full of things that need to be explored. If you ask me, human life is very short one to experience and know everything. Still, we should try to taste as many flavors of life as we can. Gambling is just one small portion of what world has for us. It is a game and must be played with this mindset. Majority of the gamblers develop hopes to make money from such an unpredictable activity, which is totally wrong.

Life should be explore and we need to see other things we shouldn't lock ourselves to engaged too much with something that causes problem. Gambling should treat as source of entertainment exceeding to anything surely will not bring good to you. Don't focus too much with this activities and better to quit if you already suffered from huge loses, take it as a learning experience and forget about coming back if possible.

I felt the need to correct you because from all the typos/grammar comments or whatever I've seen here - Betwrong felt the need to criticize someone whose English is his mother tongue, whilst ignoring posts like this that definitely need their English to be explored.

For betting you should be careful that being addicted will make you suffer so in gambling make sure you have control over yourself and you can stop gambling if you think you are going to lose more than you can afford to lose. It’s all about control one should manage before gambling. Even if you are gambling for fun make sure you can stop when needed.

Oh man, I'm sorry if I offended you. Your English is great. It's just we all make mistakes sometimes. I still think that in 99% of cases "what goes around comes around" means “as you sow, so shall you reap”, but whatever. At least, thanks to you, now I know that it has another meaning too.

Let's stay on topic, though. Can you explain, why do you think that "if you win too quickly - you would lose that money too quickly, at least the highest chances are that you would lose it"?

will be very lucky for those of you who like to play gambling but do not get addicted, it would be nice if gambling was only for entertainment only but not to the level of addiction.  because most people if they gamble instead want to gamble continuously.

No gambler is "lucky" or immune from being addicted.

Many people who started with just a $5 bet - ended up losing millions - for example Justyn Larcombe - read his story.

Really? It's a psychological issue if you can't control the way you gamble. Being addicted to gambling is a choice and not by coincidence nor a chance that you get addicted to it. At the end of the day, it's you who control your greed on gambling whether or not you wanna get addicted.

In theory you are right,in practice you are not.It is easy to judge from the outside if a person is greedy or not but when you are gambling you do not think with a cool head and you don’t understand that you have become addicted until a big level of addiction is achieved.Therefore saying it is you who are responsible for your choice we would not have any addicted gamblers but the actual fact is that we have many.

Well, that's right, it's actually emotional that forgets our choices when gambling so thinking coldly is not possible. But also not all people make their choices when gambling, whether they should be addicted or not because most beginners only realize this when they have been addicted.

When the limits of gambling have been made and we choose not to become addicted, the biggest problem is our own emotions. We cannot deny emotions when playing but we are able to manage slowly.

Well I agree, its our choice how we treat gambling since we are the only one who can control ourselves. If you let yourself out of control and greedy to win/earn you might really end up an addicted gambler. So before you play think of the reason why you gamble, is it for fun or to earn? If the latter is your answer then refrain yourself from playing because only few people can do this using their skills and not relying alone on their luck.

I don't judge those people mostly because I've been in their shoes many times, and I'm no better than they are in this regard, but I can judge myself, right? So, I think, it was extremely stupid of me to bet again and again, until my balance was zero, waiting for a big win, like I did the other day. In fact what I lost was a little bit more than what I previously won on the same site, but still I feel like I was addicted for more than an hour, and being addicted is a bad thing. But who's fault was that apart from my own? No one was forcing me to continue, so it was completely my fault.

That's what exactly everyone should do. Instead of judging a person, it is better to think of yourself in the same situation to realize that it is not easy to overcome.
It is not stupidity, it is just an action to satisfy your curiousity. The curiousity and possibility of thinking of earning if you play again. It is not easy to overcome these feelings.
It is no ones fault actually. You cannot blame youself just because you still play, you just wanted to play for your own reason.

of course we can blame no one but ourselves because no one forces us to play and lose.the sad part is sometimes we are already winning but since our greed took place we turns out as loser and regret after.
in this the self control must be in the scene and should be applied but the baddest thing is we cannot do it right away,and will take time before achieving .

but whats important is we will never risk the money that must be for our family and only the extra amount we have.

All of us had their personal reasons, and we should respect that in order to show support to every gambler. Responsible gamble always gives a moral support to their fellow players, no blaming or shaming because that's our desire to enjoy money with lucky chances of winning.
Addiction will only dominate a person when he's out of control, but if you're going to be on that stage, you really need to overcome it on your own without seeking other's responsibility.

Each of us has a different reason why do we gambling, commonly they play just for fun and want some excitement while playing. Some people want to gamble because they want to earn extra money while enjoying the game, and that was good because you will not experience any stress by just playing. But there is an unfortunate side in too much addiction we cannot avoid losing, and by this may cause of debt that too hard to pay. It is better to control your self even you love playing gambling.

They will do anything to achieve their goals just like a drug addict would.I think that some years in jail would be the right punishment for such persons and also there to be treated for their illness.

Drug addict doesn't have a goal. They just want to destroy their lives because they want to. That's their own will and once they started, they don't know how to stop. It's the same in gambling, once you started to lose a lot of money, the determined you want to recover it all. That's when greed will allow you to waste all your money in betting.

To avoid those addictions, at first you should know the possibilities of betting before doing it. Do some research about the advantages and disadvantages of gambling. Also learn how to control emotions in urge of winning more money or recovering all your losses. Learn how to save yourself from greed. If you learned all of that before betting, now you'll prevent loss and addictions

Greed is one of the big factors that gamblers turn to addiction because they aren't able to control themselves. Others might ruin themself and make the worst thing happen. Consequences and outcomes should know gamblers before they will step in into main door of gambling. All forms of addictions are bad so better to stay away while earlier.

The reason behind our gambling does not matter but the thing which is important is our self-control. We should have good control of our emotions and not spend your money if you see you are loosing. People lose more when they invest blindly just to recover the lost. Being an investor we must keep control on emotions and Greed.

[Slow death]

I don't know what the statistics are about people who gamble and who become addicted to gambling. But I can talk about the case of my country, so what I follow in my country are very rare cases of people who have become addicted to gambling. That's why I believe the number of people who are addicted to gambling is very small.

Let's stay on topic, though. Can you explain, why do you think that "if you win too quickly - you would lose that money too quickly, at least the highest chances are that you would lose it"?

Sure.
Money that you don't work hard for is something that you don't appreciate.

Throughout history it has been proven that lottery winners who won the big jackpot have turned their lives to become more miserable than its previous state ... it doesn't imply that people can't be happier with money, of course not - but "easy money" that comes all of a sudden into your life is something that comes with consequences, some of which are ones you cannot imagine before being in that state that has changed your life.

Once you cross that bridge you would see what I'm referring to.

[aioc]

I want to ask my fellow gamblers here, what is the worst thing you have done for your gambling hobby or habit? Have you come to the point of getting addicted to it and how did you counter it?

So far I'm good and I like to keep it that way, it's safe and you will not encounter any problem, I don't want to add misery to my life so I'm not putting more money more than what I can afford to lose, once it happens I will be tempted to do it, given the past bad experiences I've had.

Indeed. We cannot eliminate greed, but we can prevent greed before it's become bigger and influence us to continue playing gambling. We know that controlling ourselves will be the way to avoid greed, using too much money, but the problem is that is work for temporary because many people will lose control in a long time in gambling games. So when a gambler still playing gambling more than the usual, then that it's time he should be ready for losing more money. And soon or later, he will become addicted to gambling.
