If you able to take gambling as fun and entertainment then everything is okay but if you don't able to take it as fun or If you only gamble for leading lives/income then you will must be affected. So, preventing gambling isn't the proper solution, the actual solution is to change yourself.

Yes, you are right. I agree that we must use gambling as fun and entertainment, and don't rely on gambling to make money. Preventing gambling by having control for ourselves will be necessary, so we can know that gambling is one of the ways to enjoy life. We are responsible for what we do, including in gambling games, so we know how to prevent gambling.

But many people are playing gambling for fun, but after they enjoy the games, they forget about controlling themselves. They can spend more money because they want to win in gambling. That will be a sign for them to get the effect and addicted.

But many people are playing gambling for fun, but after they enjoy the games, they forget about controlling themselves.

One sign that a gambler is addicted is that they cant control their desire to continue gambling and they may not realize that they have spent a lot of money to bet there. Gambling addiction I think is very difficult to control and many people will admit it. Some of them might call it fun without being addicted, but when we cant stop ourselves from betting every day its called addiction.

That is why needs responsible for ourselves from playing gambling. Perhaps, we cannot know how to responsibly in playing gambling, but if we can control ourselves in limiting the money, we can see that we will not spend a lot of money on gambling. Gambling addiction is something that we need to prevent by having discipline, limiting the money and time, always control our mind that gambling is only an activity to enjoy life.

You can check yourself when you gamble. If you see that the situations become worse, you must leave gambling, no matter if you already win some money or lose some money because that will not be useful for you to continue playing gambling.

I am someone who engages in gambling occasionally and when I first gambled online I was just 18 years old. During the past one and half decades, gambling was more of an entertainment for me, as I lost more than what I won. But I never gambled more than what I could afford to lose. And as a result, my financial and mental health is perfectly fine now.

Meaning they aren't gambling for fun. Having fun isn't their main priority but to get profit. Yes they are enjoying but if you are a disciplined person, you must know your limits. If you gamble for fun then just gamble for fun and if you lose then stop and if you win then you must learn when to stop too.

These gamblers who forget to control themselves when they are gambling have a high chance that they will get addicted into it especially if they are winning always. Their main purpose which is to have fun has been changed to win money .

Sorry in advance whether this topic has been created or not.
I often see topics related to stop gambling.

Arise in my mind, everyone is easy to say stop gambling but doing it is very difficult.
So I have the urge that every individual can stop gambling by having the seven elements that I give below.

Thought:
Many gambling addicts think to stop, but emotional problems that encourage individuals to have more money when winning in gambling games, the biggest impact is the opposite that gets is defeat, not to mention the impact on the family when problems arise: "I want to stop gambling". Out of the mouth.

All that is based on the mind, no, sincerely to stop gambling.

There are things you need to remember to stop gambling, not based on money, money is just greed: again, again and again.

To stop gambling there are some addicts to do.

1. Intention: the main capital intention in determining individuals to stop gambling, if someone has a strong determination to stop it will have the percentage of someone actually quitting gambling.
2. Individual mindset: this is very heavy, most difficult for many heavy addicts to do.
The mindset of individuals used to associate with gambling gangs, the mafia, now change the mindset and associate with wise, good, and respectable people, little by little addicts will wake up and the days are full of good deeds.
3. Family: in this case it is prioritized, first the family in the number position......now the family is made number 1 more time with family.
4. Hobbies: this also supports to stop playing gambling, used to be a hobby of balls, horse racing or elements that easily fall prey to gambling, now switch hobbies that do not blend gambling, such as reading, hard work, etc.
5. Debt: if the habit of debt, for now stop, accept it as is, do not look too much up, multiply look down, which needs to be remembered, above the sky there is still sky, below the ground there is still land, thankful.
6. Positive: positive thinking can also encourage someone to be more confident, first thinking evil now thinking positive patterns.
7. Greedy and emotional: stay away from this trait, if you lose in a bet you think placing more bets to win, it's all gone, you get sheer destruction, so you, have to take decision number 5 "debt" front of destruction for your, that's for sure.

If you do the above I believe that anyone can get rid of the habit of gambling.
The important thing to do something that must be a commitment in determining success.

For me gambling is fun.

Indeed, Do not let gambling destroy our life, gambling is not a good thing at all, do not hope betting to make you a rich person, it is impossible, because the chances of winning the gambling site are meagre. Especially those gambling sites that only do not require you to show up your skills and strategies, those websites that luck only matters. If you have a feeling that you are being addicted to gambling, prevent it as quick as you
can, do not let it controls everything on you. So it is better that you will do an action rapidly before its too late.

There are so many ways for you to prevent being addicted, and those are already posted above, which are all true, make yourself busy on other things and not on gambling.

I personally will never leave gambling. I know the risk of gambling is huge, can be addicted to destruction. But I am not a gambler with a large capital, I only play with a small amount. Although sometimes in gambling, I experience defeat more often. but it makes me happy to be able to play gambling.

Gambling with big and small capital I think it's the same thing, because every gambler has at least a different financial factor and they will gamble according to their respective abilities. So, even if you gamble only with low capital but when you get losing streak and or repeated failures, then the incident will at least make you frustrated too, right. Well, stopping gambling or not is a different desire for every gambler, even though gambling has ruined your life but on the other hand there is something that can make you happy, I guess it doesn't matter as long as you can handle it well.

I think you had a good managing of your financial and mental health, you just need to keep it at that. In my case, I am addicted in the past and keep in getting better now. Its been years but I can't still distance myself from gambling but it is great since I can control myself now when I am gambling, though as I said, I still have that problem when I still need to distance myself from it.

Sometimes, a disciplined person can forget about that because of the temptations of gambling games and winning money. In the beginning, they remember about the limits, but after a few rounds, they don't know that because they become greedy, chasing more winning. It is hard always to control and disciplined in something that we like because that will always attract us to do more and more.

They can get addicted in a short time if they don't realize that winning in gambling doesn't mean that we can get more winning. Perhaps, if they can recognize if they win, that will be the time for them to stop gambling.

i agree with this post,
i just to add and i think this one really helps a lot in anything that come's to a persons life

Support: i have seen a lot on how people got hook so bad i gambling
the support of the family play a vital role for a person to change his ways,
if the family never supports the person and help them overcome addiction
no matter what it will never change, and will come back to his old ways, because
there is something that is lacking and that is support and guidance from the family
family should give 100% support and for sure he will be committed, to change

[In the silence]

A very good post about the healing from addiction.
Over a year ago I stopped gambling, it even destroyed my investments in different cryptocurrencies.

Some of them might call it fun without being addicted, but when we cant stop ourselves from betting every day its called addiction.

I also think if gamblers who are already heavily addicted will not need advice from others to stop because they think it's not important what they think is gambling every time and want to, even though it's hard to find luck.
I do not want to be addicted to gambling because it is very dangerous for me and my family because it can be a conflict with my family because of gambling.
Still we must be able to control with ourselves.

Precisely, if you are a kind of person who are much unto playing gambling whether you use only it for fun there's a high possibility that that person will eventually fall into becoming an addict. At first we cannot able to tell if we are already been an addicted to it in fact someone who near to us will discover it like our families and friends. Hence, if you don't want to become an addict then leave as soon as possible.

A person always finds ways of his own internal control when it comes to his core values, such as family, health, helping other people, and the like.

Just like a woman who smokes during pregnancy for the sake of her baby, many gamblers, and those who are addicted to gambling, stop playing when their reputation or relationships with close people are at stake. Everything depends on the level of awareness.

[Rengga Jati]

Yes, you are right. I agree that we must use gambling as fun and entertainment, and don't rely on gambling to make money.

I agree that we don't rely on gambling to earn money but I disagree if it is a must to gamble in order to have fun and entertainment. Everyone has their own purposes to play gambling. If someone plays gambling to earn money, we cannot blame him. It is normal that people are interested in the big amount of prizes on gambling.

No matter how we keep it secret, somehow, someone that near to us will know by watching our habit or behavior, there's something change from us that allows them to know. We cannot run from our addicting because that will cause another problem, not just for us but also for our family or friends. Yes, leaving gambling as soon as possible is necessary, and ask them to help us will be the solution to solve the addicting.

No, we don't have to gamble, I mean, we can play gambling if we want, but we have to realize that gambling is for having fun and entertainment. No need to try to win gambling, but playing some rounds will be better if we want to feel how to gamble online. The big amount of prizes will attract us to keep coming back on gambling, and if we don't have the power to control ourselves, we will going to get a big loss on gambling.

Is it good to gamble around every weekend? because it takes pleasure and also entertainment by playing gambling we can release our minds from the stress that continues to work all day but also must understand the right time when gambling and good luck.
Is there anything good when there are new gambling sites we need to try or use the weekend to start?

[Janation]

I'm a gambler but not addicted,
So, if you can't control yourself, you shouldn't gamble anymore.

You will never know if you have self control if you wont try to gamble.

What do you mean by that?

We don't need to try gambling to test our self-control. You could use your self-control to other things too, so if you want to try or test it out better do it on other things not in gambling. You are just risking your self from gambling and wasting your money on it.

He basically means that  if you cannot control yourself then don't engage with it, it is like playing the game even does not know how to play the game. There is psychological reason behind gambling where self-control is safe and good for mind. It is not about testing your self-control with gambling but just a mere precaution given by him.

You could use your self-control to other things too, so if you want to try or test it out better do it on other things not in gambling. You are just risking your self from gambling and wasting your money on it.

Absolutely right, there are lots of entertainment that does not involve any monetary value like outdoor activities to test your self-control or self-discipline. I guess you interpreted his opinion in incorrect way.
