Anything like excess gambling

[smyslov]

I have seen people gambling with positive vibes of them winning at all costs. I could remember when I started gambling, I was always optimistic of winning high bets that will later cool my mind and cover all my accumulated loses. I believe the same thing happens to other people making them to bet more, becoming addicted to gambling.

Some people could bet without even knowing the amount of time and money they have invested in gambling which could look obvious and call for estimation. I gamble a lot and sometimes I don't even know if it's becoming excess not.

It's foolishness to think that you can win all the time and you can always recover your losses if you have this mindset yes you can become addicted to gambling only thinking of your winning but forgetting your losses, a responsible gambler always takes record on both his winnings and losses so he can track and organize how he gamble.

just to clear things up, are you asking if there are gamblers who are gambling excessively? if so, then yeah, tons of gamblers are gambling excessively, do they realize that they are gambling excessively? probably yes, but have no control over it until it is over. I mean there were times in my younger days(I still don't know about crypto) that I would gamble so much that I would knowingly gamble my allowance for that week(yes I was still a student at that time) and lose all of it. but those days are in the past and the fear of not being able to pay the bills today is far higher than my urge to gamble(which is almost non-existent).

That's because you hadn't a good bankroll management. If you manage your bankroll seriously you will never gamble money you need for eating and for paying bills. Even someone who bet occasionally could fall in this kind of situation if he poorly manages his bankroll

It's just common mate. I don't think we need a discussion about this.

It really happened for a gambler since we are expecting something good out of it. We will just continue to gamble no matter what without realizing we are now within our limits. Now to control it, we should start by ourselves and do everything to resist the temptation of doing gambling even how we feel lucky and optimistic at that particular time.

That’s not a common thing if you know how to control yourself in the first place. You have to understand gambling, the risk of continuous playing and being out of control can result to a big loss because the longer you play the higher the chance for a house to win against you. Casinos will always try to tempt you to keep on playing, but if you can handle it very well you’ll just avoid it because you know already that your limit has been reach and its time for you to go home, practice this one.

I believe what he is saying here, is that it is common among gamblers to be excessive with their games. And I guess, that's true for a lot of gamblers here. Very few can really control their gambling habits. If you are a regular gambler, you always have the tendency to be excessive as you chase your losses or potential winnings. Lucky if you can have the discipline here.

the worst thing a gambler can do is lie to himself, like winning a bet and thinking that it was a perfect choice he made because he knows what he's doing, but when his bet loses he just say that it was unlucky or i wasn't sure about that bet but i placed it anyways and that's why i lost, this makes him wanting to gamble all the time since when he loses he just says that it was a mistake, and the amount of money he loses every time don't matter a lot to him because he thinks that he can recover one day, he just have to keep trying but reality has other things to say.

It's too risky if you do not know your limit,the worse thing is not accessing and not calculating your allocation on your bankroll and your time in gambling, like all addition it will go further you want to more time in the case of gambling bet more add more money, and this is the cause of chronic gambling and will eventually ruin your life, the first that you've got to do is to know your limit, failure to do so will get you in big trouble.

The greedy / deep desire in earning more, makes the one just blindly spend what they have at most. I would says its not just the individual responsibility. The gambling environment is such, makes one or other to just fall into it. Many here, just blindly bet seeing other's victory. This is what in turn, attracts the every participants to just stick around even if they do not have money to gamble.

Spending money in gambling without control means a gambler is addicted. It happens if you have no discipline and your goal is to get back what you've lost by keep on playing and using the money which supposed not to be meant for the gambling activity.

Its not an unusual situation for gamblers who dont set limit. The problem that we often discuss if a gambler became addicted due to his eagerness to win and to recover the losses. Thats why if you notice that your gambling habit changed, its best to refrain from playing, otherwise you might end up among of those gamblers who became addicted.

[Peanutswar]

Of course, many people really love to play a lot of gambling but those are the ones who have a lot of budget and time but i guess if you are just a normal gambler just to seek fun it's too hard to achieve excessing gambling its costly. There are people who would like to play gambling because in different purposes, such as earning money its a primary objective and the one is just to seek fun. There's nothing with too much gambling unless it's not too healthy to yourself and the people surround you that's why gambling moderately.

Then you are not a responsible gambler at all because you are having such misconceptions because if you know what you are doing and dealing then surely the excessive gambling will come your way very often .

Remember that being a gambler we must be responsible in smallest details of our activities such as How much we must spend and how much we wanted to win.
if you can deal with those 2 then you will be determined as responsible and Good gambler.

[Poker Player]

I can’t imagine how a person could not be aware if he’s excessively gambling or not. Isn’t that like depicted in one's wallet?

In reality, although the OP does not express himself well, he points to a serious problem that problem gamblers have: the control of emotions. The one who bets and loses more than he should, knows that what he is doing is not right and that he should stop, but he has entered a kind of trance that drives him to continue.

[Xinarae*]

Gambling requires controlling one's emotions we need to move forward with positive thinking. Those who go to casinos to gamble don’t know if they go to play to win I don’t think anyone in a casino goes to play to win money my guess is that some people might spend time and money going there to have fun if you are addicted you should not play for entertainment and you should correct the mistakes without getting frustrated even if there are risks. So the source of happiness of each person is the same.

[hahay]

There are several factors that usually a person gambles excessively, such as spending a lot of time in gambling even though only betting with a low amount but with him spending a lot of time then still, they gamble excessively. So in this case it's not just about money being spent excessively in gambling, because usually those who spend a lot of money in gambling will only gamble with a shorter time. Well, I think it's only about the ability of the gambler themselves, if they have a lot of free time and money that can be spent more then of course they will gamble excessively and usually this kind of gambler is an addict.

[magneto]

Do you feel compelled to gamble whenever you have free time?

If the answer to the above is yes, then you probably have a problem. I've seen friends who see gambling as a surefire way to make money and treat it almost as if it is a second job. Obviously, it is not, and more often than not these same people end up chasing their losses and losing more than they initially had planned.

Be brutally honest with yourself - are you gambling for the sake of fun, or the sake of making money? If the latter, you need to reconsider your strategy, potentially apply for self-exclusion schemes, or take a short break to adjust your mindset.

[Wexnident]

Are you asking about what's the point where you're gambling excessively? Well, that's pretty situational ngl. It all depends on the amount of money you actually get monthly, best to not include salaries and only include beer money stuff, but really it's up to you if you want to. It's all about financial management, and you'd pretty much be set with gambling while not losing much money. People only lose their money or rather their entire assets in gambling due to improper management. They exceed the set budget they have or don't really set a budget in the first place which is pretty stupid imo.

Take the time to actually manage your finance, it would help not only when you're managing your gambling budget but also for overall progress in your life whenever you want to buy something.

[cabron]

If you have been winning you wouldn't reflect whether you have wasted so much time in gambling. You would probably be drinking more wine, show how much you have won and buying things that you like. But if you have been losing a lot of money in gambling, you will at some point reflect sometimes you will even realize that you do owe some cash to a person which you have yet not paid even when you won a ton in the past weeks.

If you come to that point, maybe you have gambled excessively already, it is time to rethink what you have been doing.

This is a good example of what we call as 'gambler's fallacy' where gamblers think that by betting, they would be able to recover their losses.

Excess expenditures in gambling leads to a plethora of problems long-term. Without any self-discipline and control, a gambler would be put in a situation where all of his resources would be slowly depleted in the process.

This experience happened to my brother back when covid was still non-existent. He brought like $600 with him and he told me to stop him at all cost in the event he wins a single bet. To cut the story short, he lost $500 that night and blamed me for not stopping him (although I did).

Of course are you not going to be aware of the losses, because you are still enjoying the ride, but when you lose a lot of money and you cannot keep up anymore, then you will realize that you are gambling too much and you have lost a lot of excess money, money that you should not put in gambling, that's where the reality sets in, that you have become addicted to gambling, but it's already too late.

It's like playing the lottery; you pay a small amount for a ticket in the hopes of winning the grand prize, but imagine buying tickets for almost 5 years and not winning a single time. If you've done that and bought a lottery ticket without missing it, you've gone overboard without even realizing it. We all know how difficult it is to control our emotions. We thought it was still okay, but it was really bad for us. Well, what I can say now is that if you are happy and it has no effect on your life or family, it is okay, even if you have a lot of money that you have lost.

[Desmong]

I am not just asking, initially having a feeling that it happens to every gamblers most time without being aware of it. Although I had worse pattern of gambling back in the days when I gat no plans on how to spend my little allowance. I had no girlfriend then so all I do with funds is to gamble and play games with friends, most time sponsoring them because it makes me feel happy and among, especially seeing my peers trying to put heads together to make winning bets. Although it was really fun but I think I was stupid cause I gat no plan for money.

Don't spend your youth doing useless things, this is what my parents told me when I was young...

You have to be able to manage your education, money, and friendships at a young age because you and your friends will eventually live own lives. at a young age, gambling is really challenging but you have to be able to control your gambling budget, so you don't hurt yourself. do it slowly.

Calm down mate, I know I've had an adventure gambling lifestyle in the past but this does not portray my current personality. Even though I've exhibited a wasteful addiction lifestyle in gambling, I still have past showing me my regrets which does not constitutes my success in life. Gambling is exciting and very much addictive especially if one is making it and things do not look really bad as it is with some persons. I know my guage and level of gambling which I always considered before taking a step.

It becomes excess if you start depositing money coming from your savings or money that you should spend for your bills, once money for gambling keeps adding up and bills are delated for payment, then we can conclude that you are spending too much time and money on gambling and we can call this excess in gambling and this is not good for your over all health and financial situation.

What will be more worse is that you start losing with his money which was needed to pay your bill and to pay for other day to day expenses. Once you will lose all this money, you will take loan to fulfill your needs and you may again gamble with that loan money, thinking that if you win this time, you will return the loan and also pay the expenses. People take this risk and unfortunately lose again making them bankrupt.
