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

[CarnagexD]

Many lessons can be taken from the story in the opening post. That the habit of gambling if not controlled or restricted can make us addicted.
If we are addicted it will hurt us, not only do we run out of money, but our lives can also fall apart. Hopefully the members of this forum can
control themselves when playing gambling, so they are not addicted. I also now only play gambling every weekend, and provide a special budget
for gambling, so it doesn't interfere with other needs.

Tbh, money has a great part in a person's life, and it's hard for us to risk money since we use it for survival. That's the reason why gambling addiction can ruin the lives of people because it involves money and destroys the mentality of humans. Once a person is full of debt because of gambling addiction, financially unstable, he might regret those and thinks that he has lost a good future in life.

Money is a bigger essential than any of us might think. Without money, we will not survive in a capitalist driven world like what we live in today. So gambling can be one of those get-rich-quick schemes that gets a lot of notice, but what really gets you going in this industry is how long you can stay level-headed be it in a winstreak or a loss. If you can keep your cool and be able to stick to your plan, you'd be earning lots and lots in gambling.

Although gambling is one of those get-rich-quick schemes, we don't have to use gambling to make money because the chance to lose our initial money will be bigger than to win the money. Many people still try to win money by using their money, which is not recommended because if we lose, we will lose our money.

But staying cool and stick to our plan will not always work because we often see that we need to change the plan in the middle of the game. The gambling itself will change, and we can't depend on one plan because we can lose more money. It is better to limit the money, and don't try to chase the win if you think it is difficult for you.

I play poker and other gambling myself. But I cannot say that I am passionate. This is the same job as much else. I use all the necessary opportunities to increase my winnings - https://www.pokervip.com/strategy-articles/maximize-your-poker-earnings/the-best-mobile-casino-apps-for-playing-slots  But that doesn't mean I'm obsessed with it. Luck will subside and go away. Winning percentage is just math for me.

I heard that Betnomi may conduct a Poker tournament sooner so you can use your skill in this game,Better let us see how good your strategy at all.

But remember what OP tackles here,it is our addiction must be prevented and never let yourself go deep down just because of Poker.

consider this as Funny habit and not for Bread and butter for living.

There are more serious risks here. Gambling leads to the release of the hormones adrenaline and dopamine. In normal doses, these hormones are very beneficial. However, their excess leads to depression. A person ceases to be interested in the world around him. He sees the whole World in gray tones. The person does not want to live. It's scary😞

Yes I am agree with what you said. There are a lot of risks that we need to bear in our minds not just for our health but also in other aspects of life. We should control ourselves and play gambling moderately inorder to avoid addiction co'z addiction may lead to some serious situations like for example death.

That's why I got too much excited when posting my prediction on our local board and keep thinking about it until the next morning. After I lost my prediction in the NBA championship games, it felt so heavy in my heart. This is what the other gamblers felt every time they lose and it really hurts. depends on how much they have lost in the game. It's a surprise how they managed to forget such a feeling because it is not as simple as you imagine. Losing a huge amount of money will get yourself a lot to imagine at night.

Try to diversify your life.  Gambling is a part of your life.  However, there are many interesting things in life.  Not only gambling.  Sports, lifestyle, communication, flirting, sex, nature, sleep, learning, work.  Gambling is nothing more than games.

~ 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.

It's hard to follow these while you gamble regularly. I used to be regular gambler, but recently I have stopped gambling. Though I do it sometimes but not like before. I have always tried to play with the money what I can afford to loss, but finally it feels bad after losing money. I spent a lot of time in gambling. It is another reason to avoid gambling. Personally I haven't meet with anyone who have struggled like your friend for gambling addiction. These kind of people need proper consultation.

Yes, gambling could be very addictive we are all aware of that. From my point of view the problems ć is to recognise the point where gambling from passion turns into addiction. Many miss that point and then often becomes too late.
If you notice that your most important thing is gambling, that you can't imagine your day without gambling and that every loss you try to cover with more gambling then it's the moment to stop.

that is a good approach, to try to identify habits while they're forming and to always pay close attention at your thoughts.

regarding to "the urge for changing people's habits" OP has:
this is a never ending fight.
we cant change other people, we change ourselves, people change themselves.
it's just life.

I feel you, man. But if we keep thinking that way, remembering those losses every night, every time that we are alone, it makes you hard to forget and can't move on. Gambling could have that losing and winning ends but at first, before we decided to put our bets we actually decide also to accept the result, and that is not a reason to keep thinking because we'd lose big. It was scary if we entirely lose our minds because that, making other stuff might help to divert our minds and forget the past.

Yes, by having many activities, at least you can minimize the chance of addiction to a certain activity like gambling. As you have many activities, you won't focus on one activity only. The chance to get addiction will be higher if you only have few activities, moreover if mostly of your activities a day just to play gambling. Go outside of your room, then do easy activities like helping others, gathering with family, socializing with neighbors, or other else.

Gambling is nothing more than games.

But some people consider it as their jobs, mate.
So, they do much effort to gain money from gambling. Even worse, once they get losses, they do everything to get back their money. Then, it becomes one of the causes to be addicted to gambling.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case for some of the gamblers out there.
They are gambling because they are hoping that they can get money thru it in an easy way.

Gambling has been designed that people will lose their money whatever they do "unless" you know when to exit if its needed but aside from that, 100% you will lose your money into it. Having a plan like you said will help but having a discipline would be better at least for me. Self control is still the top important trait that a gambler must have if they want to gamble.

Yes, they are gambling because of the money attraction and from the story by other gamblers who can win the money. They think that they should try playing gambling, and they only think that if they just throw the dice, wait for a while, and their number will come out. It's not right if they still think like that because they should learn and know that getting money from gambling is not that easy way.

Indeed. Self-control and discipline will help a gambler avoid the big loss, and although he is still playing gambling, he can manage his money to be used for playing gambling. Besides that, he will know when he must stop gambling and leave the site/place. We should treat gambling as a fun activity and not use gambling to be like as a job that can give us money.

Addiction on the other hand is no joke.

I never experienced it but in other countries, this problem is so bad that they are ruining their lives because of that and they really need a professional help to save them. Gambling itself is just a game, a way for people to risk their money for them to be entertained, not for them to risk their money and their lives to it and entertain the world of how bad gambling made their lives.

[Salauddin1994]

Gambling addiction is a form of gambling when the game becomes more than the joy of the game when the game is immersed in all personal family social or economic activities then it is no longer just a game becomes addicted. Gambling addiction is the creation of an impossible and uncontrollable need for gambling it is very difficult not to meet that demand this demand cannot be controlled in any way. In exchange for anything the addicted person wants to meet that need and wants to gamble the victim does not control the gambling needs but tries to hide the gambling behaviors.

I have heard that someone becomes homeless just because gambling. If you and your friends can't control yourself to gamble, then you must seek a help like someone who can help you to go through this. I mean gambling addiction is really hard to remove if you do it by yourself if you are really addicted. You don't want to become homeless so you can stay away from gambling, right?

Yes, it so hard to change to change towards gambling addiction. It is just like a drugs that you always wanted to do. I agree that the best way to change is to seek help from a professional or to your family. I can recommend to buy for a pet, Dogs are always adorable and it always be the best way to get time pre occupied. In that way sooner or later gambling will be forgotten because pets do take time especially in taking care of them.

Compulsive gambling is a behavior that deserves professional help. Gambling habits that turn into addictions can cause someone to lie frequently, spend a lot of money without thinking about the risks, and even steal. This is a progressive disease that must be cured because it can cause mental problems, bankruptcy, and even attempt suicide.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many businesses to temporarily closed and caused many people to lose their jobs. Situations like this can trigger someone to gamble because the allure of instant money that can be obtained from gambling can be a motivation (moreover, gambling can be done from home at the moment). If more and more people get caught up in gambling, then gambling disorder and gambling addiction will also increase.

Unfortunately there are too many people in the world who get the heights of gambling world just once and spend years chasing that high once more and that is not something you can get it out of a person without any help at all, there should be a professional help in order to get them out of that zone.

You could spend 100 bucks and make it to 20k once, and after that you could lose tens of thousands of dollars, even hundreds of thousands of dollars since that moment and you still wouldn't be stopping if nobody helps you. But, if you could just learn to limit yourself, I have 50 bucks deposit per month rule for myself for example, if you do that, there is two options, either you will lose that 50 bucks and stop, or you will make some and continue to profit in the end.

Dopamine rules the world around us.

Besides seeking for professional help from a psychologist.
There are many good habits and practices in life that may help:

Going out on the sun
Walking
exercising and carrying heavy things
sauna
the ocean
not eating junk food
limiting exposure to social media and electronics (this can really mess up with neurotransmitters)
