Are you a gambler?

[Cling18]

I have been addicted until not very long ago.However I have passed it all,no problems for me whatsoever now.How I passed is easy,I just started doing other things after work rather than gambling,like going out for a run,learning a new skill or technology and things like this.Now I have come to a point where I can play when I want and I can stay for months without playing if I feel like it.What I want to say is that all depend on our self at how good we can handle situations like this.

You really are a strong person if you were able to get rid of gambling addiction but unfortunately, many can not do it. Maybe you can advise where to start for those players who have fallen into this trap and can't get out of it on their own?

If everyone could have the same mindset and strategy just to get rid of gambling addiction, I'm sure that more people would be able to manage their finances right while enjoying gambling at the same time. It might sound hard for others but it's just a matter of self-control. Focusing on other things that you would enjoy would be a better idea.

I am sure that many players have tried to overcome their addiction by replacing their time spent in the casino with other activities, but not all of it helped. I personally have never had a gambling addiction and I know very well what self-control is, but an addicted gambler has a poorly developed sense of it. So I wonder how he learned self-control if he didn't have it before.

Yes I'm a gambler but I don't gamble that much but I consider myself a gambler due the numbers of bets i've been made in a week and the amount I spend every week and also I was posting in gambling discussion because of my signature but of course looking for a new gambling website or news or discussion about related to the sports i'm interested to.

Yes. But judging by what he says, he has real problems with addiction and he cannot get rid of it, even though he perfectly understands the harmfulness of such behavior. To be honest, when I find out about such cases, I start to fear for myself - what if I become addicted? Usually I start to limit myself even more after that.

It's a good experience and it's cool that you were able to get rid of the addiction/bad habit yourself. I had a similar experience and changing occupations is a key decision to change myself - sports and, for example, doing business help best in this. Together, these two activities can drain you completely and you won't even think about gambling.

There are a lot of people posting here. In most of threads related to sportsbetting, most user just discuss about the match, how player performed, how they could perform etc but very few person discuss about odds, chances of winning a team and other factors related to bet.
Is it possible that most people only discuss here to fulfill their signature requirement? In my case, I don’t play games at casino. I used to play back in the day but not anymore while I'm still having sportsbet on most of the matches.
Be honest and share about you whether you post only for your signature requirement or you post because you are involved in gambling & you want to know or share knowledge.

I think everyone has the potential to become a gambler and people generally tend to overestimate their ability to correctly calculate odds (or understand the context). I used to play some online poker but quickly realized that you are mainly playing with sharks because most little fish quickly empty their bankroll and abandon the game, you have to imagine that it will be true of any game of skill. It's the same with sports betting really, the bookmakers are constantly evolving and working with masses of useful historic information so it is extremely tough to be them - although their are some gamblers out there who profit from pricing discrepancies.

Congratulations on ending your addiction to gambling. I agree that if we want to end ourselves from gambling, we need to make ourselves busy by doing other things. He can do other things after the job to block his mind not to think about gambling. That really helps him and I think that can also work for other people who want to stop gambling and maybe they will have a different method to solve the addiction.

With our work, the main thing is to get rid of addiction, by occupying ourselves much more and it will be easier to forget about gambling after a long time there is a shadow from us maybe that is also a solution and however it will always be different every time you want to stop gambling from addiction.

Maybe I am the same as Swogerino who is too focused on gambling, after I work I find it easier to spend other time and only on weekends we can play again as a pleasure to gamble.

That's great for you, but if everyone manage to do well, then many gambling site will have to close their operation due to lack of traffic on site. I wouldn't ask people to gamble or stop gambling if they could afford to take responsibility for their gambling, but I might try to remind them if their gambling habit have made them a problem person. I've done it before with a friend, it certainly won't be easy at first but at least now the frequency has become much less frequent. Gambling control are necessary and we really need to be responsible gambler to avoid trouble.

You acted well, but keep in mind that in order for you to be able to reach to your friend and help him, you need to know that he has an addiction in the first place. I believe there is a large number of players who are indeed addicted but are not disclosing it in a way that it is noticeable for their friends and family. Of course if you start borrowing money or so, but I guess the group of players hiding their addiction or not even realizing it themselves is quite significant.

I'm not sure if gambling here and there for competition or socially counts in as being a regular gambler but I think it comes into the gambler group if we remove regular from the sentence.

I started gambling back after hearing about it on another forum that was gaming related and mentioned a Dice site that accepted Bitcoin and from there it began.

When we do hear out new things in our ears then that curiosity of ours would really be poked up and this is also the thing i did felt when i do first time jumped in here on crypto space gambling sites

where it turns out the accessibility plus the convenience on making out a deposit without any hassle unlike with fiat ones plus having no kyc which do really sparks out peoples interest.

Being a gambler isnt bad if you do know on how to handle your finances or able to handle out yourself when you do play.

That's a good line, However, The time comes where you're tested for your sanity after facing many losses and trying to recover from all by doing the 2x deposit method and maybe winning or losing but it does prove that how vulnerable you are in the starting unless proper instructions are given to people who're new to gambling will always end up losing everything, in the end, doesn't matter if they managed to make 2x,100x or even 1000x. The gambling rush will get to them in the end, making them lose everything and going broke unless they realize before it's too late which is quite hard.

i am a gambler who is not very active ^{(i mean who gambles once or twice a week)}, i also keep up to date with the latest news on gambling sites and sports news because i like it.  as long as i and maybe not other gamblers make posts on the gambling board and it's still on-topic it's definitely not a problem, right!

As long as you are participating in the discussion, you are definitely on topic.

Besides, not every gambler is really a pro, some are just starting, so discussions would really help them to know about the game and to get some tips to win. Also, as long as we gamble, regularly though not on a daily basis, it's still safe to call ourselves gamblers.

[NicNacCoin]

Of course I am a gambler but a few months still I don't take participate in gambling because I already lost my professional job and I have no heavy income. But I recently joined Betfury.io gambling which already bet me with losses. So now I am completely free from gambling.

So actually, we know how to stop gambling but sometimes, we deny that it is too difficult for us to do that. Well, that needs the courage to leave gambling and do other things to prevent the mind from thinking about gambling.

But once we can do that, we will not regret it because we can change our lives with the other things that can benefit us. The best is we can cure the addiction that happens to us and occupy ourselves with something good for our lives.

Yeah, gambling addiction is severely overrated, almost everyone is talking about gambling addiction while not everyone is actually addicted. Something we do daily doesn't necessarily tell us that we are addicted to it because if such is the case we are addicted to stress, happiness, etc as well since we experience these feelings daily.

We are gambling because we have nothing else to do and hence if you feel you are gambling too much then all you need to do is find a job or something that keeps you busy enough to avoid gambling. Once you distribute your time towards more productive activities, you won't have any such gambling problems.

It is very difficult to stop an addiction. It's like a smoker who has to quit smoking. But if we really intend then everything will be done. Maybe not immediately disappear but little by little it can eliminate the habit. Expand the positive activities and interactions with many people outside the environment that makes you an addict.

I consider that we really like to gamble, but we can control ourselves better in gambling games to prevent the addiction. Our mind or will is too strong than the addiction that want to take control of ourselves so we do not get the impact of the addiction. That will not be the same for people who can not control themselves and drag into the gambling games without any chance to leave it.

I agree that we must take ourselves busy and do something else to think clearly that gambling is only part of our lives and we should treat gambling as it was. We can stay away from gambling anytime but we can play gambling in our free time but the difference is we know how to stop gambling and not being addicted to gambling.

That's because willpower alone isn't going to cut it, there's a step by step process to cure addiction, this is the 21st century so it's not like we don't have the tools and the ability to cure the addiction.

For me, I cannot exactly recall how it began but I started bitcoin gambling when I was losing too much at some fiat casino and I discussed it with my friends and during our search, we found out the provably fair thing. Although in starting I wasn't sure how it works but once I understand the system it was quite amazing and refreshing at the same time.

as long as i and maybe not other gamblers make posts on the gambling board and it's still on-topic it's definitely not a problem, right!

Yes, that's right and if there are posts that are not on-topic you will see the moderators clean them very quickly. I also follow gambling news and various promotions that are going on these days.
