Do you have control or not?

[deisik]

May be the person will get the applications after deleting them. It is like a workaround to not use the device in order to not use the apps. Social media has become a routine. According to a research, a common person spend 5 hours daily on the social platform of his choice. Coming towards self-control, it is the most essential art required learning to become successful in life. IN gambling, this matters a lot.

I agree, instead of shutting down your device or deleting the application, why not remove your internet at home and live like it's 1995, don't stick your nose too much in gambling, try to walk out of your room and refresh your mind to be able to make more better decisions in your life. It is a disease if you can't live a single day without the internet, you have to be aware of that, it could damage your brain if you spend too much time in your computer sitting all day without doing any exercises and not eating on time.

You have to control everything, not just in gambling but also your daily routine in your life, it is important and a must

Smells like a lot of well-hidden sarcasm to me

The folks who are trying to control everything are known as and called control freaks. And they are called freaks for a reason. And the primary reason is that there is no way one can control everything. In fact, it is impossible to control even the tiniest part of everything. But that's not all. The most ironic, and ultimately pathetic, moment is that the more one tries to control things, the more they tend to get out of hand, so such effort often turns out quite counterproductive, essentially, an exercise in futility as well as stupidity. Hence freaks

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.

Of course, I can. Other people can consciously stop gambling but they aren't willing. May be they are chronic gambler, being prejudice lol. Anyway everyone has its own discipline I believe to that factor, but not everyone has the capability of applying it. They knew how bad being too addicted to gambling was but the fighting spirit of continuing on is in there to the point they cannot even stop it. In addition, I believe that for someone to stop he must be with someone who will be the factor for him to stop. Someone close to? Because being alone would be challenging.

Some people with their steel spirit and decisive ability, they handle stopping gambling quickly and show no sign of returning but as you said, players' psychology and discipline will not be the same, and very few people have those elements, almost weak psychology and easy falling into addiction, thereby producing a lot of gambling addicts and they always start with the thought that they can control and ending like that. Effort for stopping, should not attempt for control when gambling, going short will return quickly while going far will be difficult to return

That's a serious case buddy and I know the feeling of regrets especially when I saw my family suffered from what I've done. We got broke financially.

Whoa, did you gamble away their assets or something?

[onrise]

Stopping gambling should depend on why the person is gambling, do you know that there are some projects here that supports gambling. And if you advise anyone to stop gambling you may probably discourage them from participating in such project. I am not a gambling addict I'm sure I can control myself. Any gambling that can cost ones health and life is worth quiting.

Maybe if it’s a project where you see the good return opportunity then you can invest in it . But if you are noob and do not have idea of it then better to learn or listen to best people so that you do not end up losing money of yours hard earn money .

I think I have enough control. In my opinion, while gambling, it's not the method that gets you. It's the urge to win a substantial amount. I started gambling with only $12 and have won more than $600 with that initial investment. But I took month to get there. More than 600 USD pure profit. It's all about controlling your urge. If it's a bad day, just stop and try again tomorrow, eventually you'll end up with good gains.

There are stories of people who built 6-7 figures from gambling by betting for months or years... they lost the lot within days/weeks....

I would think I can say I have control but sometimes I can not control my urges to put down some money on a game.
If I am very bored I might make a small parlay if the games are on the TV but I am not needing to place a bet every day.

Same goes with my lifestyle and decision in gambling. But I couldn't consider I am losing control if I bet more than I could ever bet in a game, I still consider betting amounts if I have more than enough for my living and not exceeding the limits. Meaning to say that spending responsibly in gambling is considerably staying in control. If you think you are lacking in funds because of gambling then think about it, maybe you are not breaking your boundaries.

Stopping gambling completely seems impossible because this has become my daily activity.

I stopped gambling when I lost and my balance increased by 70% of my total deposit, this I have applied for a long time and is consistent every day and this is also my self-control.

If you like playing this game then carry on. No one can shake of a habit within a day. As long as you play while following rules of safety, you wont lose big amounts and never get hurt financially. It appears you are well aware of dangers involved in this game and already play with discipline. If you intend to restrict your playing habit to some number of bets or leave it, this will take some time.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. If they stopped gambling at the point they won big, they might've survived their crypto. Setting goals while gambling can also help minimize losses.

I usually bet on football as well, when it comes to champions leagues, or even on the weekends sometimes. I have the full control of myself, I mean I already know what should I do and what I shouldn't do. It's all about knowing your limits and don't surpass it.

That parlay though, it's really exciting to watch live games while you are also betting on it, and the winning in parlay although less chance but it's satisfying. I bet in sports, make parlay from time to time but I never regret losing in parlay as that would only take a very little percentage of my entire bankroll, a 5 usd parlay bet could also give a decent return if I am lucky.

Sometimes lose control is normal because we are human, and our emotion is up and down many times every day. On one side, we want always to control ourselves, but on the other side, we lose control because we face so many things in our life. Sometimes I watch on TV too, but I don't watch the show too long because that can attract me to call my friend to join and place the bet

If you feel an irresistible urge to continue, forcing yourself to stop gambling won't come as painless as you think it should. If you succeed at it (which is not given at all as if it is in fact irresistible, it is, well, irresistible), you will likely start to experience something like the withdrawal syndrome

This is a difficult thing, using our feel to stop our addiction.
As I know, if we have under-pressure situations, our feel doesn't work. And we need someone to stop our actions because we can't stop ourself at addictions

In my case, I can stop gambling.

The thing here is that I am not addicted, as I said I can stop but the problem is that I can't stop playing it. I can say that I am not addicted since I can control it. In fact, I just gamble some satoshis I can get from the gambling sites I can visit in a day. It is a waste of time I can confirm that but the thing is that I am gambling and at the same time losing just my time and not my money.

Its confusing to me, you're not addicted but you cant stop playing it? Anyhow you're not using a huge amount and just a free satoshis from the site so I think you're playing to kill time. In my case I have control and just playing for fun, stopping is not a problem since I dont gamble to double my money.

Same here, I was also confused, I don't if he's accepting the fact that he's addicted on it or not, though for me I don't see anyone who's going to be addicted in gambling by just spending free satoshis in a gambling sites everyday, the reason why other's are addicted to it because it is their money on the line that's at risk, therefore they have to be careful and keep on chasing their losses to gain back their money, which always turns out in the opposite way.

I have control, I stop when I run out of money to gamble  . but when I still have the capital, the desire to limit betting in gambling is a bit difficult because there is a sense of wanting to get more in betting.

lol that means you can't control, because the most important control is when we have a lot of capital, and we have to be able to avoid a lot of losses, the point is don't be greedy.

[Ayiranorea]

Initially it is like a morphine drug that on regular usage of gambling leads one into addiction. On withdrawal sure it leads to various symptoms. Though we try not use gambling site itself will have the stimulus to gamble. Unless we have enough excess amount that we can play we shouldn't enter into gambling. In my own experience lost a bulk amount for which is saved for years. Mainly due to loss of control.

definitely there are many crossing points between drug use/addiction and Gambling habits.

also, today's society is really immediatist.
thinking about the future and where our daily actions will lead us may help to overcome the desire to gamble.

When playing gambling and suffer loses you must have the control and discipline not to gamble again. When experiencing difficulty to stop and wanting to roll out again you cannot control your eagerness in playing. Just stop to avoid more loses.

Any gambling that can cost ones health and life is worth quiting.

A person can get addicted to any things, such as alcohol, cigarettes, sugar, junk food and drinks. If he has a bad habit, which he can not cope, it is necessary to resort to the help of specialists. If a person has a problem with gambling, then he also needs to be treated, but this is not a reason to ban all gambling or talk about them. There are a lot of people who love to play this or that game or make bets.
