You won today, but then you will lose often

[Mauser]

@OP, it's not your gambling addiction but an addiction to get to that VIP level for which you played so hard or else, you took your losses at heart due to which you think that a person will lose more often. No doubt that a gambler can't be successful in long duration gambling but that long is for how long, that can only be decided by the gambler. So it's better that you leave gambling if you're not comfortable with it and let other gamblers do what they want to do.

I agree with you, gambling for a position on a casino leaderboard or just for a rank on that casino. I understand that there can be value in having a better rank, like there will be better rake back and maybe better deposit options. But it doesn't make sense to lose money just for that. These ranks come on their own, we should gamble for profits and to relax, not for a rank.

I think one of the best things to do to prevent gambling addiction could be making bets with a very little amount. It helps one have the control of it. I was making bets with a big amount in the past and it caused me to be addicted to it. Because when I lost money, I was trying to recover it as soon as possible. After I've realized what I was doing was wrong, I've started making bets with a little amount. Now, I don't try to recover immediately when I lose as I don't take a big risk.

I agree with you mate, it is a must that we have a control over the amount of price that we are willing to risk as a bet in every gambling application or game that we are opt to put a bet on however, when a person was being addicted when gambling i bet that there was something that we can do to make him realize about it. It is himself who can figure it out of what should be the best thing to do. I experience in gambling that I have win once but suddenly i guess my luck in gambling did work for a few times because i have lose it often.

Gambling for me at a certain stage in my life was all about winning. I won't say I was addicted to it but my mind was really set on winning every bet I placed and along the line, after loosing much with few wins, it became a way for me to test my prediction skills and more fun. So, I put out what I won't think twice about loosing and enjoy the results which ever way it goes. I think gambling is better that way.

That's exactly how gambling should be taken and that's what I meant in my words as well. I never said not to go for those higher ranks but that should only be achieved with bigger bets if that gambler has got enough to lose and won't even regret about the same because if he regrets later for what he did, it means it was just an addiction or more of an obsession to go for that rank and nothing.

Usually it happens to those who play gambling not too far away, and realize it after knowing that gambling will do more to accept defeat than win and all of this happens unnoticed.
The importance of Self-Control and awareness when betting on gambling is the most important thing to implement before doing it to realize and once you accept your winnings you should stop and not continue playing because it will cost you everything.
because when you win it will trigger the ambition to continue to win which will keep you playing which will make you suffer because curiosity will bring you back, so self-control and awareness are needed when betting.

[Silberman]

Loosing is part of the experience in gambling. You wouldn't expect to win always no matter how good you are in predicting where a game would end.

Gambling when misplaced grows into an addict and at this point it takes a whole lot of discipline to break off such chain. I still recommend you limit the amount you deposit. And keep your stake little because greed controls the human emotions.

A person using their common sense is very aware this is the case but a person operating under the belief that they can somehow become profitable with gambling and that it does not understand the math behind the games is going to make all kind of mistakes and run the risk of becoming addicted to gambling, this is why whenever we engage in an activity that requires a continuous influx of cash in order to function it needs to be studied carefully otherwise we take the risk of making mistakes that will affect our lives in a significant way.

Yeah, if we take a moment to realize what kind of algorithm must be running behind the screens of our gambling activities then we may never get back to gambling; because it is a business for the owners but only for the player it may be fun filled entertainment or income generating resource but when the ball is on their court, there are less possibilities for those games to end up in our favor.

We may gamble frequently but we should not try for same old type of winning moments. Accept whatever results we are facing everyday and continue for a new day with fresh mindset, if you cannot have such a habit then better quit.

I agree that doing something besides gambling can prevent them from becoming addicting to gambling and they do not have to try playing gambling.

That will put your attention into other things and it's mandatory if you're finding yourself that's already going to become addicted in gambling. It's not that easy but if you want to solve it, you have to revert your attention into other things because it's one of the easiest solution that you can do to help yourself.

Sometimes, we can not see if we become addicted to gambling because when someone feels excited about something and they do that many times, he will not think about the effect. But other people will see if we become addicted because something changes to ourselves. In this way, if they really care about that person, they can tell him or ask him to do other things so that person can distract his mind not to think about gambling.

[madnessteat]

To begin with, I would advise you to change your lifestyle, e.g. go travelling for a month. A change of scenery should do you good.

Very often a gambling addict is simply unable to cope with their misfortune alone, so it is better to seek professional help. Gambling addiction can be compared to tobacco smoking. Someone can easily quit smoking on their own and someone needs psychological help and even medication to relieve stress.

Not common to a gambler to see his addiction, most of us if not all are always in denial, we keeps saying that we are just having fun but we already losing amont of money that more than we think we can spend to this activities.

Always better to listen if there's concern people who advise you to stop and find other sources of entertainment.

Hello to all! Another topic about casinos and games. I started playing at the Stake.com quite often. At the very beginning I thought I would just play in the evening, but one evening turned into a constant game during the day. On the first deposit, I was lucky and I took out a little, it was x3 of my deposit and I was happy. Recently, I just started making stupid deposits and trying to win something and I understand that this is self-deception, but I cannot stop and make more and more deposits. I decided to make the 1st level of VIP, but for this I need to make a turnover of 10k dollars, but I am a player with low stakes and this is difficult for me to do. You seem to understand everything that you will lose, but you go to play again. How to get rid of gambling addiction?

You have turned into an addict and you lose control of yourself, this will harm you if you cannot stop yourself in time, glad that you admit that you are addicted and you are asking how to get rid of addiction, the first thing you need to do is to ask help from your loved ones and get professional help, you need personalized healing and consultation to get rid of your addiction.

We're blind to look at ourselves if we're about to become addicted. We're excited and we don't care about the surroundings and what's matter to us is that we're enjoying and we keep doing what we want to do and just as the other reasons of addicted gamblers, they wouldn't care what others will say to them as long as they're pushing what they think is right and what they like to do.

[Gaaara]

This is true when you do it often, the more times you gamble the higher the chance you'll lose and stop getting emotional through every lost, but the good thing about this is when you're winning you get a ton of money, but sometimes it is okay to just accept the loss and reset your mind set before trying again, winning few times can get someone addicted but its not the reason why we lose much, we lose much from trying to regain what we lost and as it grows higher the more you want to try and get it back. If you can eliminate the mindset of trying to pursue your loss and try to earn again you can do well and stop chasing pavement.

This is the importance of limiting the time to play gambling and also limiting the amount of money we use for gambling. Without restrictions,
people will not care about other people's advice, they will continue to play gambling. They play with emotions which only lead to the loss of
the person. What's scary is that sometimes people are addicted, not realizing they are addicted.

I hope that we can listen to others to know what is a change in ourselves and we are not too late to stop that before everything is ruin. A gambler will find it hard to see his addiction because he washed away in the enjoyment of gambling games while other people will clearly see the difference.

We can win today, but we can lose the next day, so we need to be careful in the gambling games and always manage the money before we lose all of the money.

Emotional control and E.Q., in my opinion is essential for a gambler to possess in cases wherein extremes are happening. Winning is an extreme, and so is losing. If you win, there is a mad rush of adrenaline and the thought of going all in because of one win would be a disaster. One wrong bet and you will be tempted to do it again and again, with the idea that you are not yet in the losing streak and you just have to do it all over. Hundreds of dollars later you will learn it the hard way that all your winnings are gone and that you need to go home losing money that you should have used to something more important than gambling.

Set your limit then follow the limit no matter how hard it is. In that case, you have control. Consider yourself lucky already when you win. On the stated situation when you win x3 of your deposit, it makes you hype that you can do the same thing or you can win again and with that you keep on making deposit even though you have consecutive losses. You let your emotions drive you which is not a good practice at all. Aside from setting limit, try to remind yourself the real "value" of money nowadays. It is very hard to earn money as well as the expenses on everyday living. Gambling will be still gambling even you play or not, even you win or lose.

If you want to start gambling or betting or whatever game where real money is involved then what you need most is self discipline. Only use money that you can afford to lose. Let's say you have 200$ that you don't need and you want to try some sports betting with it. You picked your favorite teams but you were unlucky and despite good odds you lost your bets and the money is gone. The worst thing you can do now is to try to make up for that loss by risking more money with the next bet, because you may lose this too and maybe that was already money that you actually needed for you daily needs and is now missing.
So never get carried away. If your budget is gone, wait until you have some spare money again until you place your next bet or you will end up like those sad old dudes that are sitting in front of the gambling machines in the gas stations the whole day long.

They're also getting tired if the person they're reminding doesn't stop.

Doesn't matter how many advices are given, at the end of the day the decision to stop playing is totally up to the individual. Only the addicted gambler can take a new direction on this life through his free will. Once this happens, then all the help others could do is welcome and worthful. But if the first step isn't taken by the gambler and he keeps obsessed for the game, no one can stop and preventing him from gambling.
And of course, he can't blame the lack of advices and help from others for his own mistakes.
