I totally believe that taking big Betting risk  or Gambling in Bets can be curtailed or minimized if we keep teaching people how to be responsible Bettors.  
It's actually heart breaking to see people complain about the problems they face due to gambling whereas there are numerous ways they can avoid the problems.

Hope this thread helps people who gamble in bets to learn how to be responsible and successful bettor without gambling or without taking big risk.

Hello

So I was going through a story of a girl who literally stole 70,000 Euros to Gamble apparently it all started when she invested 20 Euro and won a thousand and since then she became addicted to easy money.
It made me realize that every now and then there is someone here sharing their addiction stories and it might help to have a particular thread for them to keep all the sources which could help them get their life straight again..
Here is a quote from BBC :-

  What actually makes people addicted to things like games, sugar, drugs, etc is the fun/happiness they derive from them especially when they are sad. So, you need to make sure customers don't get addicted to your products/services by making them less flashy, less sweet, lessen the prize money (so they don't get attached to it) etc. The world is full of addicts who are addicted to movies, foods, games, money, flashy things, etc.
Important Tips for Betting Sites and other Businesses on the addiction issues:
Make your products/services safe and beneficial to customers. Better to have people addicted to very beneficial games,, foods, movies than have them addicted to dangerous ones. Make them good/safe and beneficial just incase your customers get addicted, the products and services will help them to be useful to their societies and themselves.
Also remember to promote Safe Bet

Kids needs to be guided always, unfortunately they are free thesedays instead of being under constant guidance. They get exposed to all manner of things which they would end up abusing or misusing. The bad ones shouldn't be shown to them at all. But they are bombard with them including, porn, gambling, bad foods, bad songs, bad games, etc
I don't support kids (or even adults) to gamble atall. No porn at all, even for adults

Betting sites should make sure that customers practice safe bet.
Kids should only access good betting sites through parental guidance.

Bet but don't gamble.

In regards to the above reply, it is actually not posted on the poster's thread. I noticed the thread was locked after compiling the post on my notepad and I decided to post here it here due to the importance of the issue.

So, I will keep updating this thread with others important  advise, ideas and suggestions.

[acener]

I also saw that thread and couldn't reply but since you open up a thread to reply to that question so here is what I was about to say to the creator.
No matter how hard your problem is how big your debt is you should keep on fighting.
It is just money you could earn it again but you should be responsible next time take it as an experience and learn from your mistakes.

[Iron Fist]

I'm guessing the mods locked the thread after someone reported the mention and suicide threat.

I just want to add that if you are dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, or other issues, you should seek support from friends and family as well as professional help. I know it can be hard to reach out, but that is one thing that a lot of us struggle with. It is very hard to reach out for help when you feel like you're alone. But if you don't reach out, you are just going to continue to hurt yourself and think that no one cares. Suicide is not a choice.

Bet, but don't Gamble.
Gambling is not for smart and responsible people

Gambling is for everyone but it is doing harm to them or not depends on how they treat it, certain gambling addiction is one of the deadliest addiction because it involves money and life of your family members.

[Poker Player]

I often wonder how many of the members in gambling signature campaigns are problem gamblers. I have seen several posts of the style you quote. I remember replying to one that disappeared and I understand it was deleted by the same person who opened it. Then there was another one lately that he himself said he was going to lock or delete the thread. Surely they feel great shame after realizing the loss, open the thread, and then for some reason regret it and delete it, or lock it.

But I think the key to what is happening is given by the last comment:

The topic is very complex, apparently, I am not a responsible person, since I like online betting, right? I do not think so. I'm a gambler, I like to bet and play, what's wrong with that? I'm not worried about my money, it's important for me to get high from betting. I know the risk I'm taking, I'm fully aware of it. But that doesn't mean I'm stupid, okay?

Many people when they gamble get into an emotional state similar to that of a high, so they end up doing things that if they stopped to think rationally, they would not do. I am not referring to the fellow member aidi_hex who seems not to get into big problems in spite of getting "high" while gambling. I know many people who gamble responsibly. Some lost a little more than reasonable on a one-off occasion, but by and large gambling is an entertainment that thrills them and sometimes makes them money, although most of the time, in the long run, they lose money.

Those who develop a serious problem of self-control with gambling have a difficult solution, and I believe that it happens by

1) Seek help.
2) Quitting gambling for good. It happens like with alcoholics, even if they go years without drinking, a single drink triggers them to return to the destructive pattern of alcoholism.

By the way, I don't know why this is in off-topic, I think it should be in the Gambling section.

I totally believe that taking big Betting risk  or Gambling in Bets can be curtailed or minimized if we keep teaching people how to be responsible Bettor.  
It actually heart breaking to see people complain about the problems they face due to gambling whereas they are numerous ways they can avoid the problems.

Hope this thread helps people who gamble in bets to learn how to be responsible and successful bettor without gambling or without taking big risk.

Gambling should be treated the same as alcohol in my opinion. It should be done in moderation as it can take over people's life and cause them to sin with, that being said their is nothing inherently sinful about it.

A gambling addict is ultimately someone who loses the perspective to do the math on their losses, and dreams constantly of the big reward that might be.

Not to compare in alcohol but iN Drugs because the gambling addiction can make people do unnecessary things that he cannot do when he is drunk.

this can make people commit suicide also because of desperation .

It's actually interesting that the commenter you quoted included addiction in his post. Didn't actually pay attention to his/her post yesterday because I thought it was trolling judging by the name. Interestingly I was moved to post about addiction when I saw the poster's name while going through topics on  "off topic" section.


You can see couple of faults in his/her comment if you pay close attention.
Gambling is taking big risk. It doesn't make sense to ask people to Gamble in Moderation... makes no sense at all. Sounds contradictory.
The proper words should be Bet in Moderation
