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

[emrecemsan]

Gambling can be definitely addictive from time to time. I think there are 2 things that trigger starting to be greedy. One of them is winning consecutively and wanting of playing more because of it. The other thing is a losing streak. When you start losing 2 or more times in a row, you could start panicking or being angry with it and try to recover the amount in a very quick way. This means that you started losing the control of the situation. If you don't realize what you are doing, it could end very bad. So, one should be aware of the consequences and decide what to do carefully.

It is addictive due to the way we treat gambling, the fear and greed are drivers for both loss-win streaks. Revenge gambling has higher costs not only as a monetary cost but as an emotional lockdown inside our feelings. The angry gambler is the last person I wanna meet in person because he can even rob the strange person in order to play more and more. The self-control gives power to the gambler when and how to spend the bankroll but the gamblers don't want to think strictly about the future of their own life. Jut my 2 cents.

And besides, the addicted gambler also is the number one responsible for His choice as well too. Gambling shouldn't be a habit instead, this should only be an amusement only.

We are responsible for every move that we do as gamblers.

Just pay attention and always check if you're still on the right track when you're gambling. Very easy to say about amusement and habit but you'll never know how difficult they are tackling that problem.

The struggle of thinking and doing it as what we say can't be done by them easily.

No one to be blame if you involve yourself into this vice, it's your own decision in the first place allowing things to happened with you.
As instead of being entertained your engagements brings you to becoe heavy player.

Once gambling already inside your minds, it's difficult to removed it more gambling addicts needs attentions to the point of having
professionals to assess and help to recover to start a new life.

Play with responsibilities, never to attached too much.

Just as I've said.

We can give those advices to those addicted gamblers easily. But it is on them and they find it hard to follow it because emotionally, they know what they do.

And they have to do a lot of things for the recovery of it. Following others advice don't matter to them.

Advice for those gamblers who are already addicted won't work. It's hard to cure addiction, and simple advice does not help a thing. Gambling addicts need to change their attention to other activities and need to recover from family treatment. This is why it's so difficult to be drawn to something that's going to ruin your life.

[boyptc]

Advices won't work to those gamblers that are addicted already. It's difficult to cure addiction and simple advices can not even help a little. Gambling addicts need to shift their attention into other things and they need a family care for recovery. That's why it's very hard to be atrached on something that will destroy your life.

They need to be willing to help themselves.

Doing such help even with their family will only help if they start helping themselves. The habit can't be removed easily but with their own help to themselves, the cure will make it easy for them to moderate it.

In my opinion, there is nothing completely bad, all have two sides of one issue: bad and good. I like so much a quote that: " With everything including investment, if you don't have knowledge, it is all gambling with the ratio 50:50. In the opposite, this is an investment"

Well even that Good portion if we did not treat gambling rightfully then for sure that good part will be converted into bad and there will be a "Completely Bad" Gambling activities.

Once you become addicted in gambling,trust me the whole world seems dropping over you.

people will get rid of you and no one you can lean on because of your money matter as surely you will do everything just to find funds to gamble even if you borrow without returning.

I agree with the title of this topic, we really have to pay attention to our gambling habits. Because if I can't limit myself to playing
gambling, I will definitely become addicted. If we get addicted, it will definitely make our lives fall apart, and it is very difficult to
heal the addictions we experience. I myself only play gambling weekends, and use a limited budget. I don't want what happened
in the opening post to happen to me, therefore I am always careful when playing gambling.

We must limit our time and money to play gambling if we don't want to become addicted. Unfortunately, not many people can do this because after they can feel the excitement of playing gambling, especially on the gambling website, which has many games to play, they can enjoy staying on that site. That makes them forget their purpose of playing gambling, and they spend more time and money without thinking much about the risk.

If you can limit your budget and time, I am sure that you will not get the same experience that other people did in which they lose their money, and even they lose everything on the gambling games.

Some people (those who really care that much about gambling) also make spreadsheets to record their betting history, whether they lose or win to keep track of it. But I think this will just make it worse for our mental health if we are losing too much and we can see how much we already lost in gambling. That is why right from the start, we should accept the fact that we will lose money in gambling, we will not play just because we want to have fun but we accept that we might be bankrupted with gambling in long term. To solve this, we should allocate a small percentage of our funds that we afford to lose and disregard our habits of listing our betting history. Thus, we'll have a happy experience in gambling regardless of winning or losing as our mental help doesn't care about our loss.

Okay you mean you are careful enough while gambling. It is not easy to control addiction if you once lose your money in gambling then you may try to recover your funds that are the actual addiction of getting money from gambling and it's human nature as I believe. So I may consider gambling as addiction to use regularly to win more and more gameplay.

[cherryganda]

Gambling can really be a bridge to lead you in addiction, especially when you encounter to win n the games several times.
Once you fall on it, that's the beginning of your addiction to playing with it most often. Until one day it will become a habit for you to
play with it in gambling. So, you better be aware of this matter anyway.

Those who play for recover or have a concept that recovery must be done is incorrect as per me. It is just a game and if you lose you should look forward and play rather than going back and playing to recover. This is one of the major reasons why people end up getting addicted or losing a lot money because of this thing called playing to recover losses. If this goes away things would be better.

Willing to win more about to recover the losses can lead the ultimate looser or gainer. You will get triggered to win again for recovering your previous losses but if you failed to recover it again then what will happen? Can you imagine that? If yes then you will understand what I actually want to mean now. Win more and more can be considered as addiction to gambling sites so far.

Gambling Addiction, also admitted as pathological gambling, compulsive gambling or gambling ataxia is an impel-controlling malady. Compulsive and habitual gambling can knock down a person’s life. He apparently faces personal problems and monetary overthrow, complications while gambling sometimes urge to a life of infraction. Gambling can brace up the brain’s reward manner much like having drugs or alcohol, which in turn urge to obsession. If anyone have troubles with compulsive gambling, they can evermore pursue a bet that leads to mischief, conceal their attitude, accumulate savings, accumulate debt, or even seek theft or fraud to support their obsession. Victims are often incognizant, or in abdication, having a problem. The move unto addressing gambling is acknowledging that there is a problem. For some people, this alertness comes only when they reach the bottom of the rock. It was hitherto a compulsive ataxia and is now gone into an obsession irregularity in the DSM-5. People with pathological gambling behavior frequently have cruxes with alcohol and other substances, and often consider self-annihilation. Hopefully compulsive gambling is treatable. Psychotherapy can aid in the mode of sunder or group appointments. For few people, support groups like the 12-step Gamblers Anonymous are feasible.

This sequence consents with abstinence policies such as substance abuse and alcohol use. In combination with psychotherapy, individuals can benefit from antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-opioid, or anti-narcotics.

Investment too with knowledge is no guarantee for success. This is saying even life is 50:50 in anything you are doing. Having the idea that we need luck to help our knowledge to make our opportunity become success is great way to think.

Greetings to ya all

First, am not a gambler, I ones was but didn't play for long, but i have many friends who are into it and it's because of one of them I quit gambling (not quit like never play again, but quit like I no longer play it frequently like before).

I have this friend named Bassey, he needs help, his problem is that he's addicted to gambling, we both work in the same company, but when you see this guy, he looks so homeless, he's gone out of style, he no longer dresses well, feed well, sleep well, he's always looking like he's sick every minute of the day.

Our salaries are ways paid on the 28th of every month, but before 5th of the next month, Bassey is already out of cash and asking me to lend him some money so he could feed till he gets his next salary,
At first, I didnt know what was going on, cus we are both young and married, i always wondered what he uses all his money for cus both of our wife's are working too.

After asking him severally without an answer, he called me one day and opened up to me that he feels like he's loosing his mind, i asked him how, he said he's addicted to gambling, betting on football, horse and dog races, he siad that he doesn't keep money without ending up gambling with it, that the temptation is just irresistible, it has gotten so bad that when ever he's out of cash to play, is either he ask me to lend him or he goes and withdraw money from his wife's account without her permission, the woman complained and complained, got tired, took their only son and left him alone.

Sometimes, I have the feeling that maybe my friend is cursed, but sincerely, I can't say for sure, I personally used to gamble like three to four times in a week, but after I discovered what my friend is going through, I reduced to once or twice in a month, I no longer gamble for money, I gamble whenever I feel like throwing some money away for fun, and if in the process I win, I never let that win over cloud my sense of reasoning, this is different with Bassey, if he plays and wins, he still ends up spending every penny of his winnings on betting on other games on that very spot right there, good thing that with my help, he trying his best to break free from the habit.

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.

Well, some users or players will tend to get addicted once they get the taste of winning because that is one of the best feeling that our brain can record. Habits are hard to remove since those are the things that you are accustomed to and you can get therapy since professional help is really helpful to remove addictions.

Do people really do this, getting therapy for gambling habits?
Well, anything that works to ease or stop addiction is okay. Gambling isn't a bad thing but, getting addicted to it is and it as well goes for other things as concerns addiction. You don't allow yourself to be so drawn or always drawn to a particular thing, you become a slave to it and you really should get help as, it not only saves you of your finances, it saves your life from taking drastic decisions which is likely to be irrevocable.

But in fact, not only winning becomes the reason for people to be addicted but the losing streak or big losses can be the reason as well. Some people try hard to get back their money after they lose it. They continue to do hard efforts every day. Even, they don't know how much they spend money and time to bring back the money. Finally, they get addicted and lose more money day after day.

Addicted to gambling needs professional help advice as long as he is willing to be help and cooperate. When they are addicted, they focus on gambling and make decisions poorly that affects the entire family relationships and financial aspects.I think in some city they have a rehab program on this just like other forms of addiction.

Yes, that's right. Chasing losses can also be the reason why someone could be addicted. But even though we say here that, "never chase your losses," it's actually easier said than done.

From my experience, when faced with a situation where I am at the verge of losing it all, there is really a tendency to bet again with the hope that I might even recover my funds even just a little. And there comes in the feeling of being hooked with the game. Good thing, when I bet, I don't bet alone. I make sure that there is someone beside me to say that enough is enough because if it's just me, then I might lose even more. Worse, I might get addicted.
