It is a personal matter. There are those fans that just like to watch as they're really bored at home while those gamblers, there's no way to stop them with their own gambling habits. The solution I guess is to increase the number of helpline workers to manage those calls at the same time and there will be more of those that will handle those gamblers that are calling them. They don't have to quit watching those sports forever, it's like prohibiting them to have fun. As long as there's someone and some help that comes to them, they'll manage to overcome it.
This...this is the right way to solve the problem, prohibition will only lead to them being more secretive of their gambling habit which will definitely bee much worse. I want to take an example from a drug addiction standpoint, there's Anthony and Hillel, Anthony is open to his drug addiction but Hillel is much more secretive, Anthony ended up getting the help that he needed while Hillel ended OD. That's the same for addiction to gambling, you will end up much worse if there's a prohibition that leads to secrecy. Yes, when you stop someone forcefully, they're looking for a way just to make themselves satisfied with what they've used to do and that's through gambling. They'll look for a way just for them to do what they've been craving for. If someone cannot manage to control himself through gambling addiction and he's trying to get some help with those helplines or anyone that he thinks will help him to win over this addiction, someone really has to help and urge him that he can do it.

As we know gambling addictions and all kind of addictions went up during the pandemic as people tried to find a way to cope with the stress of being on their homes, however it seems that the return of live sports is causing problems to some gamblers that have been struggling with addiction as a charity organization revealed the event caused a spike of 28% on the helpline calls they received during that time, this is problematic as those that developed the habit during the pandemic were very limited on the number of events they could bet on, but as restrictions are lifted the options increased and they have no way to deal with this. What do you think would be the best option to those that are experimenting these issues right now? Should they stop watching sports forever as this is the trigger that causes them to gamble without control or should another solution be possible? https://news.sky.com/story/euro-2020-tournament-caused-spike-in-gambling-problems-says-charity-which-warns-of-return-of-live-sports-12387574If most of these people had a heart on sports, I guess stopping them to watch their favorite sports is difficult. The only possible solution is they should educate themselves about how gambling ruin every lives. Their family should act on this serious matter, because they had their own lives and they're responsible of their welfare. Parents should act on this matter, guidance is very important specially the young people who've been so fanatic with sports.

But even with the good number of helpline workers (which I think their numbers are already good), in most cases, gamblers won't call them. They are currently in their comfort zone so no way they will seek help to save them from gambling even in reality, they need it. That's why the family or close person/friends is the key to helping them. It's really up to the person how to deal with their gambling addiction. There are hardcore gamblers but still responsible for their activity outside gambling. That's why limiting them, especially watching sports they really like, is not a good solution to limit their gambling activity.

I will suggest spouse should not hide anything about his gambling life from his wife, I believe married people do not play or do not risk like people that are not married also, two heads are better than one when the other can tell the truth if seeing gambling is becoming problematic in their life. About others, this will be difficult, someone can become addicted to gambling and hide it from his family until much more money has been lost, that is why it is really problematic, it will be good for people to always check themselves, set a budget for gambling which should not be more than 2 to 5% of their earning, knowing that anything more is an addiction. People should not see gambling as a way to earn, this is the beginning of addiction that it its end will be so detrimental.

I think avoiding sports completely is impossible in today's time. If we go to a bar there will be sports on TV, at work our colleagues talk about sport and if we open the newspaper there will also be many articles about sports. We need to find a way to deal with it even after suffering from an addiction. Make sense, with wide scope coming from different venues, sports are really hard to skip away. Those sports gamblers are the one who need to adjust. If they already have an issue with heavy addictions, it's ample time for them to seek professional help and undergo with therapies. If you can't be fix it on your own, seeking for help is the best thing to do, no other option or never to hesitate if you already feel inside you, that you need any help that can be provided for you. Once you successfully cope up with your addiction, find other means of enjoyment keeping yourself busy in other things than thinking about gambling would continue to cure yourself.

It isn't the sports or charities who should adjust but rather those who are experiencing gambling addiction to seek professional help because it's a personal issue due to personal choice. Any form of addiction would be hard to be cured and it will take time. However, self-control and self-discipline would be a big help if a person is willing to change his path.
Same thing I was also thinking. The fault shouldn't be from live sports it should be with the gamblers. Before signing up for an online sports book we are always warned afore time to gamble responsibly. The addiction is a function of their individual greed and has no business with this live sports. All we need to is to encourage them seek proper counselling

Should they stop watching sports forever as this is the trigger that causes them to gamble without control or should another solution be possible? to stop watching sports forever can be a heavy punishment . sports isnt that bad if they have a control for themselves but for now it will be better for them to get treated before they came back watching . another alternative solution can be blocking yourself in gambling sites , in that way you will not end up gambling but you will only enjoy watching live sports .

As said, there has been a lot of calls lately and those gamblers that have been asking for help really needs help. And those that don't need their help, they'll stay wherever they are and won't be calling them. I agree that with the help of their families, they'll be able to beat their addiction. But the usual thing that a gambler faces is fear of telling it to their relatives and that's why aside from that thing, they're looking for someone that will understand them even if they're not bloodline connected.

To stop watching sports might be very impossible to achieve as it is very difficult to do... If it were possible for our app developers to look towards developing an app that people can gamble with a sort of Virtual currency that doesn't have any value outside the application, and also make rhe app to be able to run on both the ios and Android platform, it will be pf great benefit to compulsive gamblers. Also, self help groups are a great option as well, linking and having conversations with people that are in same shoes as you always helps.so find one and join in.

this is a problem that lies in the psychology of addicts and I think forbidding them to watch sports is not the right choice because usually addicts don't just gamble from sports, even though with the data and facts you say sports still dominate and become a big means for gambling, but the reason for banning them from watching is not the right thing. at least help from a psychiatrist or psychologist might be more powerful than having to ban them from watching sports broadcasts because we know nowadays especially during pandemic times like this watching sports can be one of the tools to relieve fatigue and boredom, regardless of those who gamble in it. is another problem and with the ban on watching it will make gamblers or people who are addicted to gambling even more bored and this will actually be more dangerous

While this seems like a rational approach we need to remember that addiction by the most part is not rational, and if people cannot control the compulsions they have to gamble on sport bets when they watch their favorite sport then maybe it is time to look for other solutions, to leave behind watching a sport that you love so much may seem like something that is too extreme for most but if that is the only option that guarantees that you do not get in trouble again then this may be the only real option we may have to leave addiction behind.

Well the psychiatrist I think it can be but if the problem is very very big, I think that only a strict consultation with a psychologist is enough, it also depends on the player accepting that he has a problem and generally the player himself does not do it. but a third party who leads him to seek this type of aid. Sports events for bettors many times lose the emotion themselves or perhaps lose the perspective that the sport offers, I know a friend who says to bet without even knowing anything about the team, he only does it because he feels good, obviously this person when he wins He wastes his money on alcoholic beverages, it is already something that escapes his hands, although I think that the apusetas is not the only addiction he has, that is why there are cases in which they are very complicated where the psychiatrist needs to enter to be able to medicate.

We need to find a way to deal with it even after suffering from an addiction. I think they can avoiding sports by changing the TV channel and watch other entertainment and so many TV channels, they will not think about sports. The only way to prevent the addiction is to build a new habit that does not have a correlation with sports or anything else that can be related to gambling. Actually, we know how to deal with it but unfortunately, we do not want to dig by ourselves and not consult with others so they can advise us about what we need to do.

At home it's possible to change TV channel anytime, but and if the person is at a public or someone else's place? It's common for a bar or restaurant to display live sports, since that is what most people enjoy watching while drinking or eating out. Of course the addicted person can leave the place, but that is a very nasty situation that will prejudice his social life on long run. Because of that there isn't another option besides developing self control.

Of course the addicted person can leave the place, but that is a very nasty situation that will prejudice his social life on long run. Because of that there isn't another option besides developing self control.
that is true, him leaving a place or avoid watching sports is not a solution at all, not just that it would affect negatively his social life, but that person will for sure feel bad every time he walks out a bar or any place that display sports on their TVs, this like the effect of his gambling addiction is still affecting him, i totally agree with you on developing self control as it is the best solution to all kinds of addictions and bad habits.

I think avoiding sports completely is impossible in today's time. If we go to a bar there will be sports on TV, at work our colleagues talk about sport and if we open the newspaper there will also be many articles about sports. We need to find a way to deal with it even after suffering from an addiction. I think they can avoiding sports by changing the TV channel and watch other entertainment and so many TV channels, they will not think about sports. The only way to prevent the addiction is to build a new habit that does not have a correlation with sports or anything else that can be related to gambling. Actually, we know how to deal with it but unfortunately, we do not want to dig by ourselves and not consult with others so they can advise us about what we need to do.

Because of that there isn't another option besides developing self control. I guess they can not go to a public or someone else's place for free because we still use social distancing, right? So I think they should stay at home most of the time than go public area. If they are in the public area coincidentally and in that area displayed live sports, they should hold themselves no matter if the passion becomes bigger. I think they do not have to go by alone but need others to go with them. Developing self-control will be needed in this matter as that will help them to solve the addiction problem.

That was too much for a limitation. If a person is already addicted to gambling, even they don't have to watch sports they will still find a way to gamble. No need to limit them to watch sports. We want to limit them to gambling only. Let them enjoy watching sports because there are other ways to solve the gambling problem and limiting them to watch their favorite sports should not be an option. What if watching sports is their comfort zone. Limiting an activity just like gambling and for example, alcohol, drugs, etc. won't be stopped if the solution is to target their usual activities outside of that zone. The root cause should be determined and slowly educating them to become responsible.

As we know gambling addictions and all kind of addictions went up during the pandemic as people tried to find a way to cope with the stress of being on their homes, however it seems that the return of live sports is causing problems to some gamblers that have been struggling with addiction as a charity organization revealed the event caused a spike of 28% on the helpline calls they received during that time, this is problematic as those that developed the habit during the pandemic were very limited on the number of events they could bet on, but as restrictions are lifted the options increased and they have no way to deal with this. What do you think would be the best option to those that are experimenting these issues right now? Should they stop watching sports forever as this is the trigger that causes them to gamble without control or should another solution be possible? https://news.sky.com/story/euro-2020-tournament-caused-spike-in-gambling-problems-says-charity-which-warns-of-return-of-live-sports-12387574I think that the ridiculous wages that we see at the top end of football fuels a large part of this problem. When you're trading players (who are supposedly worth tens of millions) then you need advertisers who pay out huge amounts. The most lucrative industries like gambling are simply overflowing with money right now and always looking for new punters that they can suck in. In effect all these huge transfer fees that we see every year are being partly funded by unfortunate souls who got sucked into a casino which they saw advertised on the side of a football pitch, but then everyone is free to make their own decisions in life and nobody is forced to spend money on such things.

There is no way to stop watching sports. You will always be confronted with sports events in live or on the media in one way or another. There must be another root cause for the tendency to develop addictions. Also, I don't think the EURO is now responsible for the spike as if there was a causal relationship. Maybe that was just a weird coincidence? Why would this EURO be different from any other EURO? Someone who is prone to develop a gambling addiction doesn't need a European championship to do so...

We can not blame Euro 2020 or other events that caused a spike in gambling issues because gambling is by people and not by Euro 2020. If people decide to gamble for that events, they should know that gambling risks losing money and becoming addicted. Without realized about that, they will think that they are addicted because of one event.
People decide by themselves and that makes the gambling issues increase and many people addicted. People need to solve the addiction problem and find out how they can enjoy sports and bet without getting addicted.
