Gambling is Addictive...Pay Attention to your Gambling Habit!!!

[Natalim]

Your friend is just an addict. That is the usual story of an addict.

So am urging everyone out there playing to play, but try not to make it a lifestyle, try to always play with only money youve decided to loose, play for the fun and don't expect anything back... Play and don't get addicted.

I doubt you don't know you are spreading some negative on betting and gambling platforms with this but no matter how it appears, new gamblers will join. Some people see gambling as business for living and they can't stop to look for means of survival through it.

he already mentioned that His friend is really an addict that lost Family because of addiction.
Some people of course look at this  as business or life giving option,But the truth is only few in a thousand that become successful on this areas.

so let us not consider this as bread and butter but instead a happy place to unwind.

It should not be taken that much if you are not good in disciplining yourself.

Gambling can cause many deeper problem, the very reason why there are people who takes their own life
because of this addictions thinking that the only solution is to die and forget about everything.

That's probably the worst cause scenario being a gambler, actually there have already been some articles about that, like below.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/jul/19/problem-gamblers-much-more-likely-to-attempt-suicide-study

However, with the number of gamblers all over the world the suicide cases was already downplayed, I have no data information to back my opinion but I believe that it's not gambling addiction which are the top causes for suicide as I believe gamblers are risk takers and optimistic.

I can't agree with your opinion. I personally know a guy. Who are addicted on gambling. He was involved in many more misdeeds with gambling. Such as theft, robbery and drugs. He was so addicted to gambling that he borrowed and gambled and drank heavily, at one time he owed a lot of money. He had not the ability to pay the money. He gradually became depressed. And eventually he chose the path of suicide. That's why I always tell everyone not to get addicted to gambling. Spend as much money on gambling as you can afford. Not more than that.

It's one of the most dangerous effect of too much addiction in gambling. To the point that you already don't have money to gamble, yet you still chose to borrow some money just to be able to put some bet hoping that the losses will eventually be brought back to you. But what mostly happen is that instead that you gain, you loss much more.

That case is very depressing, so every gamblers must control themselves so they will be still themselves. Just catch fun from gambling sometimes, don't loose control if you doesn't want to face it's consequences.

Let's generalize things, don't make things that will ruin your life. If you knew that you can't afford to retrieve all of your loss, then don't risk your money in gambling. Once you get addicted in gambling, it's obvious that it will lose a lot of money if you have losing streak.

If you got depress because of many problems, they see suicide as an easy way so all of the addiction can lead to it when worst case scenarios happened.

you are right. Depressed people seek salvation through suicide. They think suicide is the only way to freedom. But it is totally wrong. The real happiness is overcoming all frustrations and making oneself successful. Everyone should strengthen their morale.

A person who decides to give up on the very essence of LIFE just because something trivial in their lives had pushed them into this tragedy, also something that could no doubt be solved through rehabilitation and similar mind related techniques, in my opinion must be crazy.

Life is such a wonderful gift that giving up on it is cowardice. I'm not talking about severely suffering patients or mentally challenged individuals but people who result to their own death due to addictions like gambling, debt, alcohol.

In the larger scheme of things these are all trivial, and one must think twice about their state of mind, well-being and happiness and actively try to remove the cause of negative thoughts which push people into depression because they haven't acted early enough to prevent this.

We all should be more prudent in the type of life choices we make and consider the consequences these choices might lead us towards!

Your friend is not cursed, don't think of it like that. He just getting addicted to gambling maybe because he won once or twice then he had consecutive losses. By that, it keeps him to continue to gamble having his hopes that he will win again or at least get his losses back. That is the common mindset of most gamblers, addiction leads them to that situation.

It never changes the mindset of most gamblers.

It's addictive and when someone can't get off his hands, that's what likely to happen. We get the desire to take back our losses if we have lost that much.

But when we realize, it's better to have that lower amount of loss than to add more of it because of our desire to recover.

Wherein gamblers were not able to realize or they realize it after they lose more than they have. We tend to continue gambling to at least win some of our losses but we never realize that the more we continue playing, the more we get addicted and the more money we lose.

It is normal to have the desire to cover the losses we get when playing gambling, by continuing to gamble and hope we can win.
But such a mindset leads us to become gambling addicts, and it will be a problem for ourselves. It should be as you say, we must
realize that having a loss is not a problem, which forced to play gambling again to recover losses, but the more it makes our losses
even greater. And we must be able to limit when playing gambling, because it is very important to control ourselves when playing
gambling.

I think the right thing to say is that in the first place gambling is bad or wrong if only that a person o gambler treat gambling to gain money or such form of obtaining money in easy way, it's not bad play gambling games if only the person view it as entertainment or game and will not chase for it's lost because trying to chasing your losses and desire to gain more money in gambling is a worst mindset at all.

Getting back what I lost is the feeling thats causing more loss and gambling addiction. You could gamble a bit for fun if you can resist your urge to gamble everything and have a budget and a stopping point in case of both winning and losing. People that includes me tends to look at the loss but not at the profit which make us do riskier bets. For an example if someone started with 1 units and goes to 20, if he/she loses 10, it feels like they have lost everything and bets the rest of 10 for just one bet forgetting their initial investment was just 1.

It is normal if the gamblers realize after losing more than they have because I have that experience before. I admit my gambling losses, mostly after I played for some time and use some money more than I used before. Yes, I continue gambling to recover my losses, but that did not work for me, and I only got another loss more money. So I decided to stop and leave the site because I almost ran out of my money. It saved me a lot of money because I don't have to see all of my money is gone because of playing gambling too long.

In the next days, I tried to limit my money for playing gambling, and I know that will help me prevent more losses like what I did before. From gambling, I learned many things, not just about managing my money, but I also learned about managing my time and emotion.

I think I have had an almost your own experience when it comes to gambling. Before, I didnt really like gambling, but after getting to know gambling my interest in playing got out of hand. It is common to spend a lot of money without getting a balanced win because what we play is gambling. In fact I can say that I have no luck at all in gambling because there are more to lose than to win.

actually what happens is that instead of realization they become more eager to win back again.chasing their losses and becoming addicted in time.
it is only few that realizes their mistakes after losing because i already saw many gamblers from my circle of friends and family that gambling teaches them to be more on chasing losses than learning the mistakes.
i believe that we need someone beside us when we gamble so there are chance that we will be advised when the losing is continuously happening.

It’s true for many that people lose out in the end than making money from it. That is also common because business owners have sites and casinos to make profit for themself. Only thing we if have fun and enjoy the gambling then its fine rather than making it a habit and just keep on losing money this is where the real problem may arise.

I don't think the real problem here is gambling. People like OP's friend, if gambling didn't exist, they would develop that compulsive behavior with another addiction. Those people have a problem within themselves and their gambling behavior (or another kind of problematic behavior) is the effect of the problem they have. Although gambling (or taking drugs) can worsen that problem.

We can't blame them if they choose to commit suicide than fixing their problem.
At first place, before they will try gambling they must know the consequences that they may face if the worst happens. Unfortunately they didn't expect it to happen and when the worst thing happen to them,  they will just commit suicide so they will not feel the problem anymore. Willpower and help from the people around the addicted gambler will help him solve his problem.

Gambling is way too much addictive that's why if you are a gambler you should discipline your self and manage your time to avoid addiction because most of the time those who get addicted are those who has a lot of time to play and eventually as time passes by they didn't notice that they are already an addict. That's why always remember play responsibly.

That is a sad reality. Though people know the odds of winning in any kind of gambling, they still choose to go for it rather than to work and earn it themselves through a decent job. This was mostly happening in my country especially on those needy people.

Willpower and help from the people around the addicted gambler will help him solve his problem.

That is the best option. Having a peer or family by your side to monitor and willing to help us to manage our addiction will be a good idea. Paying your attention onto other recreational activities could be helpful as well.

well that's why it's called addiction because people lose already their discipline and self control and it is not them who manage the gambling but it is the gambling that managing them.

That case is very depressing, so every gamblers must control themselves so they will be still themselves. Just catch fun from gambling sometimes, don't loose control if you doesn't want to face it's consequences.

do everything you think is best but never think of committing suicide because Life is more valuable than everything in this world.
