Gambling Addiction at its Worst!

[MWesterweele]

And don't be desperate to attain huge profits as you gamble. This will lead somebody to have that desperate call and also if he's losing much. Addiction starts with the urge of what you want to get back and achieve and that's happening in gambling.

Achievement that you want to get in such furious manner will trigger you with the wrong way. Balancing and knowing your boundaries, if the money doesn't belong to you then don't show any interest of using it or even borrowing it. Gamble with your money, not with others.

And yes! Frustrations and desperations are the starting cause of this things , the result of it is addiction, some of us may say that they are not gambling addict they are just want to play and get back what they have been losing , continuing to play just for you to get what you've lost is addiction , we should accept any result of our game and make a good strategy in the next  game.

Gambling addicts are most likely the people who often lose money in gambling. Sometimes they win but the losses that they experiencing are massive. They so desperate to regain the losses that they did and that is why they are became gambling addict. In order to overcome of being gambling addict, a person shouls have commitment in order to lessen and fully stop gambling.

I have seen people who gamble just to make money and lose out money and then again borrow money from others in anticipation that they would be able to recover the lost amount from the gambling. This may not necessary happen and then they find it difficult to return money back to the borrower.

The meaning is that as far as controlling our actions and behavior is concerned, we should avoid gambling altogether (if we don't want to find out). To put it differently, if we started to gamble and have a propensity and natural tendency to turn into a gambling addict sooner or later, it can be too late to try to exert that control. On the other hand, if we are not to become a compulsive gambler, what is to control here as we are already always in control by default?

gambling is not made for everyone especially people that can't control emotion, accept fate and can't view gambling as a game of chance.
I don't understand what you mean by in control by default, the game or fund?

Well, you can't control the game as it is a game of chance (say, dice)

And there is nothing you can control since if you could control the odds, they wouldn't be odds anymore, right? Regardless, what I mean is that if we don't have a pathological inclination for or an incurable obsession with gambling (read, we won't become gambling addicts no matter how long we play or how much we lose in the process), we don't have to consciously control ourselves

In other words, the control which gambling addicts lack is already hard-wired in us, and we don't have to exert it against our feelings or desire. We just stop playing at the right time and it comes off natural, so we don't have to force ourselves to halt. This is likely the best way we should play games of chance, while truly enjoying them and without suffering any dramatic consequences and aftereffects (think hangover here)

It is an addiction when you're trying to retrieve most of your losses and this is the reason why many doesn't seem to be firm with their decision of quitting. It's because when they think of their losses, they are feeling sorry of how big they've made.

Accepting is a must and if there's a struggle on that part, think of something that you can do to avoid or stop yourself from going into addiction.

This is not that easy as you've thought. Control yourself when you feel that you addicted to it?

This is quite hilarious,.. how can anyone control himself when he is already addicted.

The thing to do here is to control ourselves for us not to get addicted because when we are in the situation that we are already addicted, the read problem will come and we won't be able to control anymore. That situation, we need some help from people who truly cares for us to eliminate that addiction.

Its very hard to control our self once we get addicted on gambling because addicted is the one i know that is getting worse when getting addicted in gambling. So many people are getting addicted in gambling because they want to get more money and some are enjoying play even they are losing there money.

In the start it is not hard for any person to control our self if any person who will start gambling will think for their family members and they will also think for their money and will make a planner for their gambling then they will not be addicted and whenever they will play they will care to not lose too much money and will not spend the whole day in gambling.

If gambling experience is worst people who feeling such thing they should move from gambling field and search for different option to make the profit with their investment.
Most of the investors in gambling field are very greedy or make fun with their investment.

Gambling as investment needs a lot more skills in controlling your emotions, best to engaged with other kinds of business instead of keeping yourself
being stressed each time you losses your money. Greed is the number one killer of each gamblers, people who doesn't know how to act accordngly
always find themselves being addicted and loses much of their savings.

I was reading the news this morning and one of the headlines was about a terrible stealing incident involving an alleged gambling addict. The man is an employee of R&L Investments, one of the Philippines' oldest stock brokerage firms. He was able to orchestrate a way to suck at least ₱700-million worth of stocks from the company to support his gambling addiction. This is around 14 million USD, huge enough for the company to decide its closure after 5 decades of operation.^[1]

This case made me remember another news that shocked the country and beyond more than a couple of years ago. This incident involved another gambling addict who tried to burn down the casino inside Resorts World Manila. The man entered the casino fully armed and attempted to steal chips. It went awry and much worse from there, and ended up burning himself alive. The gambling addiction of the perpetrator had reached its worst end after initially causing separation from his family, selling of properties including his home and car, incurring huge debts, and so on. The incident claimed dozens of lives.^[2]


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?

I have seen one of relative succumbing to his gambling addiction. His addiction got so worst that he started taking loan , left his job and also started going away from home for days to chase his luck to win. Later all he was left with was debt and dues. Fortunately his kids were settled enough to support their mom and protect their properties else the bank would have siezed that too

Although many fall prey to gambling platforms based on their greediness. Having gambling addiction is the most dangerous addiction that could lead to total crash which could lead to a gambler death. Have seen many gamblers that died because of their careless attitudinal approach to gambling. Gambling is one of the investment that could produce fast and reliable prohrams. Gambling can bring a good ROI.

Perhaps the worst thing is when you start asking people to have money for your own in gambling. In reality, it doesn't help, even if we're sure to have gains or win, as long as we go beyond our limits in gambling or literally gambling funds that aren't from our own pocket is considered to be the worst thing to do. I had that one instance in my life and I realised how bad that decision was after losing that money, so I don't do it again and just share my experience with others.

In some cases that we ask loans in order to have funds for gambling. It gonna be worsened the situation having like this and it sometimes they commit illegalities, robbery in order to sustain their needs. Gambling addiction could ruin everything your self and it happens already.
For we still have time to change it, better do it now seriously not just by talks but it need immediate action.

[finaleshot2016]

I heard about that story and the news because my uncle had previously worked in the same casino. It's sad to hear people being unable to control themselves and even commit crimes just to try gambling. As for me, gambling is only for fun, and if we don't regulate our impulses, it could ruin our lives. Greed could result in losses, so when it comes to gambling, we have to know our limits.

Gambling is for entertainment and fun, yes. Gambling isn't really for some normal persons 'cause probably they will get addicted to it and most likely, their lives will be ruined. Actually, you're lucky enough to have relatives that knows the reality inside a casino so you and your family will be aware of it. It is true that most of the time, people always getting addicted when they feel satisfaction.

They should have control and have limitations on each thing to avoid addiction. There are many things where we can feel satisfaction, not only in gambling so I hope they learn it early.

Any type of addiction may or may not be gambling, because all addicts can do something horrible to the extent that it costs life and others. I'm gambling but I've made sure I'm gambling moderately because I don't want to be so addicted to gambling and I haven't done anything as dumb as what OP said. Gambling should only be treated as another way to have fun and enjoy to avoid serious addiction. Because in a long term you can never make a living.

Addiction is very severe, and needed to be stop. We should control ourselves on everything, if we will be addicted expect that other lives will be affected as well. We need to control our money and also our emotion. That is the best thing to do, if we lose accept that fact that not all day we will win, as what other says win some, lose some.

If you are already in the situation of being addicted, saying controlling yourself is too hard.
You will need professional help on this matter if you want to change for the better.
Because if you will act alone, the temptations will always be there and you will find yourself coming back again and again to what you are.
You should not be ashamed of asking for help if you think you need to overhaul your lifestyle.

That is right. Once we become addicted, we will hard to leave gambling because our mind will always think about gambling, and we will play even if we only have little money. Addicted to gambling can make us borrow some money from other people because we can feel that our luck comes, and that makes us play every time. And in the long term, we will not have a chance to get out of gambling, we will want to play more and more, and even if we win, we want to play again because sometimes winning is not stop us from playing gambling.

[salad daging]

only when there is no more capital that can be used to play gambling, and facts that force to get money only for family needs. this is enough for shock therapy and aroused common sense in uncomfortable situations that can get rid of my addiction instantly. many lessons to be taken where must always prepare a separate capital in various purposes, including gambling.

I agree with this.

Becoming addicted in gambling is the one of the worst addictions out there because if you are addicted into it, it will be very hard for you to stop it and the risks that you can face keeps growing. This is the main reason why I don't gamble too much and I'd spend more of my time playing online games rather than gambling because I don't want to get addicted into it. Once or twice every 1 to 2 weeks is enough for me for gambling. For those gamblers out there, just stop gambling and focus on your family.

Rather than asking for help, better find a person who is close to you. Myself suffered big out of gambling, finally out of more confusion requested for help. By then shared my worst experience with my Girl friend. She asked me to start from the beginning, and I shared each and everything with her. This gave me relaxation, and slowly I recovered.

Addiction to things that are unprofitable is actually not a good thing. People should rather choose to be "addicted" to things without "side effects". Do such things even exist in our world? Well, I know one thing that has no side effects if done in excess: serving the CREATOR.
So, we should be more engaged in things that have lesser/no side effects.. and engage less in things with more side effects.
