Do you have control or not?

[Bezobraznike]

I have full control of myself to stop gambling anytime since I am not a gambling addict. Only worst will result to yourself and love ones around me if I focus on earning money through gambling online or offline when the virus is gone or cured. Even covid-19 can't stop people to gamble unless that person is infected.

It is good to know that you are one of those who are not gambling addicts. But do you mean addicts have no self-control? Maybe yes, because otherwise, they wouldn't be addicts right? But there are many ways to control yourself to prevent addiction.

There are only two destinations to gamble while making money: the first is the good intentions of hoping for more money, and the second is the ill-effects that many neglects like family. So which one are you in?

   Addicts don't have self-control, I will tell you that Text, and I stand firm behind that. I have experience with addicts, only thing they care about is themselves! They are selfish and they
think everything belongs to them! They don't care about control because they always think it's their moment, but usually they fail in everything they do!
   I think there are many directions for people who win, mostly those directions depends from how much someone won! If you gamble low you can win much, but you can enjoy more gambling
with your winnings, practically you gamble with someone elses money, which is a good thing right?

It is understandable that addicts think in that way. We know they are sick, and most of them don't realize that they are already addicted. So, it makes sense if they are selfish and don't care of self-control. It is not easy to make them aware, they need advice or suggestions from their family. Or just accompany them to go to mental health professionals.

I always managed to stop betting when the money ran out. I never made debts to feed the gambling habit. I believe I'm a controlled guy. Whoever can't stop needs treatment. Otherwise, it's gonna cause your family a lot of trouble.

I hope that you are in full control of your behavior, but the line “when the money ran out” does not seem pleasant to me. Avoiding debt is very reasonable, but it is even more reasonable to save your money. Maybe you should finish the game long before the money runs out?

What did I say? I still agree and I said yes, not quite. So I can say that we have the same opinion. You can read my post again. I was skeptical at first but realized right away that gambling addicts have no real control over themselves. Even I have known addicts back then and I can say that everything you said was true.

Indeed, there's no actual control to someone who are already engaged to much and already addicted to this activities, gambling addicts thinks that they are always can make things possible and earn from their activities without realizing that they are just putting everything back to the house, the longer they've played the higher risk that instead they are already in a positive results they will just waste it and lose everything back.

It is that they don't realized about them being addict instead they dont want to accept that fact and denying to themselves and others that they are already addicted.

So, it makes sense if they are selfish and don't care of self-control. It is not easy to make them aware, they need advice or suggestions from their family. Or just accompany them to go to mental health professionals.

advises won't be considered instead will surely denied to listen ,because the only way they will understand the situation is when they finally get deep into it and there is a Big problem need to occur like losing everything or some love one will leave them because of addiction.

Even covid-19 can't stop people to gamble unless that person is infected.

Now, because of the virus, on the contrary, a much larger number of players play in online casinos. Around the world, millions of people are self-isolated at home, and many of them to occupy themselves with something, and maybe in order to win money - play online gambling. Then it will be harder for them to stop.

Maybe offline gambling moves to online casinos because they can not go to the casino, so they use the online casino to playing gambling. They need to have strong control when they are playing gambling, no whether offline or online gambling, because that can help gamblers to prevent the big loss. Don't lose control if we want to save our money.

If the number of visitors to online casinos has increased, then how to explain the significant increase in casino advertising? Is it a struggle for an increased "pie" or are people actually spending less money due to the crisis and the casino is trying to attract new players to overcome the crisis?

Lockdown and space restrictions for gambling players at physical casinos allow them to switch to online casinos. But not all physical casino gamblers like online casinos and if there is an increase in the number of new visitors to online casinos then it is based on their own desires.

During the lockdown, I think many gambling lovers should arrange to spend their money and limit the amount of money used for gambling because they need money to buy necessities. Spending quite a lot of money to gamble despite having savings then I think will only increase financial problems.

Some gamblers discourage their intention to gamble during lockdown and stop for a moment to fulfill their living needs during lockdown. Although gambling promises to win, the risk of losing money is also very clear to the players.

Yeah, when physical gambling/casinos are closed, the gamblers have no choice than looking for alternatives. And one of the best alternatives is playing online gambling. So, it makes sense if the visitors on gambling sites are increasing during pandemic. I think those gamblers probably continue playing on gambling sites even if the pandemic is over. Then, they can play both in physical and online gambling.

[QueenVera]

Can you consciously and willingly stop gambling at any time?
If you can do the above, you have great control and discipline, of course you are not an addict and you deserve to gamble as much as you want.
If not, clarify your ways of stopping gambling.

I gamble uncontrollable, but never go beyond my budget. I could risk all my gamble budget for the day in a single game which could turn out to be a mistakes or profitable choices but it never leads me to tapping into funds that wasn't intended to be used to gamble for the day. So I think I'm in control.

Advertising in online or offline? Because I think the online advertising of the gambling website will increase with the moves of online gambling. But I think advertising in offline is reduced a lot because of this pandemic. We cannot say if the online casino has a crisis because we don't know what have they face so far in this pandemic. But the online casino will like to attract or invite new players to overcome the crisis and give them pleasure with gambling games.

Yes, I admitted that. Not all of the gamblers will like online gamblers, and we don't know the real number of gamblers who play in online gambling. The feeling of playing online gambling will be different than in the casino so that they cannot make all gamblers feel good.

In this situation, not just gamblers who should arrange their money but all people who stay at home needs to do that because we don't know how long we should be at homes. Maybe the gamblers will allocate some money to still playing gambling so they can visit the gambling site anytime.

If the gamblers can discourage their intension to playing gambling, that will be a chance for them to reduce or limiting their habit in gambling. They also have an opportunity to cure their addiction to gambling, if they have it so while they stay at home, they can have a new activity to do, and they can ask their family to help them.

[FlightyPouch]

It's very impressive for some people to recover on their own from gambling addiction.

To be honest, it is not that easy. I've been through a lot and with years and years of trying, I am still not that perfectly cured of addiction. I am still gambling and even though I have those times that I can still control myself, there are still those times that I can't. My will is not that strong, luckily this ECQ held myself from gambling continuously as I can understand myself much more.

[JoMarrah Iarim Dan]

I don’t play so often, and probably from this I started to have problems with control. It seems like this is called tilt, when you want to recoup at all costs.
Sometimes I fall into such a state after a loss or a series of losses, I really want to win back and I spend more money than I was going to.
Thank God this does not last long. After several subsequent losses, I quit.

The key in not losing control is to play small amounts of money.
If you bet a lot of money then the tilt becomes bigger and then it comes the addition as you will want to get your money back at any cost.

And to be able to fully control that small amount, set the limit like for example 10$, 50$ ? Why ? Because there are times that you think you only use small amount but when you sum up all the money you use while you're playing is already big. It may happen especially when we are enjoying the game and was amused by some other things in the site or in people around you.

Well, I guess that's the life of a gambler. We nonlonger eradicate it within ourselves totally because it is already flowing into our veins. There's no turning back for us since the first time we got the sweet taste of winning. I believe that our body will com to the point that it will seek the rush and excitement we feel there. I guess the least thing we can do is to minimize it (salute to you mate ) as much as we could.

[naikturun]

because I also have to do other things I mean if 1 day I take part in a poker tournament then it will take like 4-8 hours depending on the number of participants and an average of 1 match is indeed more than 4 hours.
so I think if doing it every day won't be efficient because there are many other things I have to do, like making money or the like, I can't guarantee that I will win the tournament every time I play.

It means you can control yourself very well, boy. The point is "you only use money intended for gambling, and never use other money". As long as you can do this way, you won't regret losing a big amount of money in a single day. That's why people say to gamble only on what you can afford. Because to gamble excessively won't make you be rich, you just create a chance to be more losses.

[Maslate]

Because to gamble excessively won't make you be rich, you just create a chance to be more losses.

We gamble because we want a win, we can gamble excessively but for the purpose of winning excessive amount so it could change our lives financially.
This isn't for everyone as gambling is really a hard kind of way of making money, therefore, for the gamblers, it's advisable to just keep it calm, control yourself and as much as possible just try to gamble for fun and always make yourself ready to lose when you gamble, this kind of attitude would help us avoid chasing loses.

[Assface16678]

Do you mean stopping here and not start at all? Or at certain times or at certain moments of loss / gain, to leave that moment and play again later? It seems to me that it's not that hard to do the first one. As a result, you do not go to the casino, do not log on to the website, you go to different entertainment areas and somehow you can stay away from gambling completely.

But when you're at the gambling table / game, it's a very difficult decision to withdraw from the table, saying that it's all that's enough when the full win / loss is at its peak. I think people who can do it can do anything in their lives.

I think you should stop if you gamble already. If you have been gambling for a long time and it is quite interesting for you to gamble but you spend a lot, can you stop it and not gamble for a period or maybe not at all.

How good is the motivation to work, when a person is exposed to a heavy burden, so difficult is it when one is motivated to win gambling and that is the hardest time for him to stop gambling.

Some of the people today really love to play gambling, some of them have a lucky day and they won a lot of times and profit because of that still we cannot deny and we must face the reality that most of the time we lose our games by that it is a huge impact and lose to us it affects physically, mentally and emotionally because losing can cause too much depression into a person if you experience this kind of problem it is better to stop it depends on you if you want to stop permanently or temporarily because some of the people lose their funds they stop for a week and take a break for a while and some of them really stop permanently because some of them cannot pay the debt because of too much loss. Still, it is better if we play gambling just for fun and extra money not having too much debt.
